Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 588 The Hidden Calamity
"I've met Taoist friends."

Inside the tea pavilion, atop a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, the Flying Snow True Lord smiled and gestured for Lü Yang to sit down, then pushed a cup of tea in front of him.

Lu Yang sat down and scanned the area with his divine sense.

Once he glanced at it, he couldn't take his eyes off it, because what was flowing in the cup was an image he had never seen before, yet had just seen!
"The sun governs the heavens, its qi transforms and circulates in accordance with the primordial order. The air is crisp and still, the earth's qi is calm. When cold descends upon the vast sky, the yang qi does not cause the cold, for it is the transformation of the sun's water qi. In the heavens it is cold, on earth it is water. Because water is below, it is born above; descending, it gives rise to fire. Therefore, water and fire are both governed, and both are governed by the sun."

Lu Yang was shocked, but showed no sign of it on his face:

"May I ask, senior, what imagery does this represent?"

Upon hearing this, True Monarch Feixue smiled and said, "This is a remnant from the last great calamity of a thousand years. A True Monarch from beyond the heavens was killed, and his image was scattered throughout the world."

"I was lucky and got one."

"After obtaining the [Stream Water], this imagery played a significant role. Unfortunately, it became useless after becoming a True Lord, so I used it to entertain distinguished guests."

It was indeed related to the great calamity of a thousand years.

Lu Yang deliberately feigned surprise, then asked curiously, "I observe that this imagery is extraordinary. Could it be that there are cultivators beyond the heavens who are comparable to us?"

"You've asked the wrong person."

True Monarch Feixue chuckled: "I only experienced the last great calamity of a thousand years, which was only at the end of the calamity. I have not truly experienced the mysteries of the calamity."

"As for the records of the sect," said True Monarch Feixue, his expression turning unfriendly. Although he was still smiling, there was no smile in his eyes, only a chilling look: "Because of [Angxiao], all the records are no longer reliable. Heaven knows how many records that beast destroyed."

[Angxiao]! You've done so many bad things!
However, the next second, True Lord Feixue changed the subject: "If you are really interested, I can call Qiluo and Hanguang over, they know more about this."

The current Holy Sect has four True Lords.

Of course, Chongguang is a given, but Feixue Zhenjun only emerged at the end of the Great Calamity and did not truly participate in that earth-shattering battle of Zhenjun.

Only [Han Guang Fu Tian Zhen Jun] and [Zeng Cai Qi Luo Zhen Jun] are the older generation of Holy Sect True Lords who survived that great calamity of a thousand years. As those who experienced it firsthand, they undoubtedly have a clearer understanding of what happened back then and the origins of this "sun image".

"Please give me some advice, senior."

Knowing Flying Snow True Lord's personality, and besides needing someone to advise him, Lü Yang didn't hide anything and directly took out the already damaged Heavenly Mirror.

"This is something I recently acquired by chance."

"The imagery in it is similar to many of the images in the hands of our predecessors. If that is the case, I'm afraid that the vast realm behind it is already plotting against us."

"This is."

When True Lord Feixue's divine sense landed on the Mirror of Heaven, he immediately sensed the "image of the sun" remaining in the mirror. His previously nonchalant expression instantly turned solemn. The next second, a third great power descended from nowhere, transforming into a gentle and graceful woman in brocade robes and a cloak.

Lu Yang recognized the other person at a glance.

【The True Lord of Colorful Silk and Brocade】!
Unlike the strikingly different appearance and personality of True Lord Feixue, True Lord Zengcai Qiluo appears to be gentle, weak, and delicate.

Although the two True Lords have different appearances, one is strong and the other is weak. In addition, True Lord [Zengcai Qiluo] has already attached her own cave heaven to True Lord Feixue's cave heaven. Their auras are subtly in harmony. Standing together, they are like twin lotus flowers. They are not sisters, but they are better than sisters.

"Qiluo, come and take a look."

True Monarch Feixue pointed to the Heavenly Mirror that Lü Yang had taken out and said, "Do you remember the imagery on this object? Did you see it during the last great calamity?"

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, [Zengcai Qiluo Zhenjun] glanced at the Observatory and her beautiful expression changed slightly: "Where did this image come from? Is it a remnant from five thousand years ago?"

Lü Yang shook his head: "What I've gained recently."

Upon hearing this, [Zengcai Qiluo Zhenjun] immediately frowned, and finally sighed helplessly: "It seems that the [weight] of the Supreme Fruit position is still too heavy." "Feixue, the great calamity is about to begin."

With just a simple sentence, Lü Yang immediately understood and realized that his previous guess that "the number of True Lords is the benchmark for the Great Calamity" must have been correct.

“If I’m not mistaken, this image should originate from [Tianfu]. The person who left this image is different from the Celestial True Lord who died in the Great Calamity. He should be one of the inter-solar positions, not the main position of the sun.” [Zengcai Qiluo True Lord] said as if reciting a familiar story.

True Lord Feixue remained silent, quietly drinking his tea.

Lü Yang understood immediately and cupped his hands, saying, "Please enlighten me, senior. What is the difference between the Sun Main Position, the Sun Intermediate Position, and our Fruit Position?"

"Plausible."

【Zengcai Qiluo Zhenjun】said in a deep voice: "Our positions are based on the Five Elements, combined with the Ten Heavenly Generals and the Twelve Earthly Fiends, in order to expound the mysteries of heaven and earth."

"The Heavenly Palace is different. They take the Six Qi as their main principle and combine them with the Twenty-Four Solar Terms to explain the mysteries of heaven and earth. Each Qi is divided into the Heavenly Stem and the Earthly Branch, and is further distinguished by the Main Position and the Intermediate Position. They are no less than our rank, and those in their positions all have the abilities of a True Lord."

"Among them, the Taiyin and Taiyang are the best, comparable to our supreme status."

After saying this, 【Zengcai Qiluo Zhenjun】 glanced at Lü Yang again before continuing, "That was the 【Tianfu】 Zhenjun who died in the great calamity."

"He occupies the position of the Sun, although it is the position of the 'King of the Springs' rather than the position of the 'Ruler of Heaven'."

"Even so, he has already merged the Sun's [Lord of the Spring], [Intermediate of the Spring], and [Intermediate of the Heaven] positions, making him comparable to us mid-stage Golden Core cultivators."

"If he could regain control of the [Heavenly Master Position] and completely dominate the Sun, he would be comparable to us late-stage Great True Lords, or even a Great True Lord with the Supreme Fruit Position! After all, in the [Heavenly Palace], the [Heavenly Master Position] of the Sun and Moon lineages is similar in status to our Supreme Fruit Position."

At this point, [Zengcai Qiluo Zhenjun] gave a cold smile:
"But that's precisely why he died."

"The other three parties created an opportunity, and finally the Sword Pavilion's [Rigid Form Preaching True Lord] made a move, annihilating the True Spirit with a single sword strike, causing him to perish overseas."

The six qi evolve into heaven, and one qi governs four positions.

Lu Yang stroked the teacup in his hand, astonished: 'If I calculate it this way, this realm called "Heavenly Palace" actually has a full twenty-four fruit ranks!'

Two of them even attained the supreme status.

Although it's still not as good as this dilapidated place, it's not far off.

'Speaking of which, the person in the mirror seemed to have called this desolate place the "Immortal Pivot." What's the significance of that? Could it also be related to the Great Tribulation of a Thousand Years?'

Just as Lü Yang was pondering, the ever-silent Flying Snow True Monarch suddenly spoke:

"Since the great calamity is approaching, there's no better time than today. I intend to break through to the late stage of the Golden Core realm. Fellow Daoist, would you be interested in staying and cultivating the Great Dao with me?"

Decisive and straightforward, with no secrets.

Lü Yang instantly understood: 'Fellow cultivators of the Great Dao... does this mean she wants me to learn from the [Zengcai Qiluo True Monarch], attach myself to a grotto-heaven, and replace Chongguang to help her break through to the later stage?'

This kind of affiliation has both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that after affiliating with a grotto-heaven, one receives its blessings. Even if one's cultivation level is below the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, one can ensure that the grotto-heaven does not fall and thus be free from the suffering of reincarnation.

The downside is that the path is blocked.

However, on the other hand, he himself would also become the weakness of the later Great True Lord, who would then protect him. Therefore, the meaning of the Flying Snow True Lord can be summarized in one sentence:

Stop trying, I'll take care of you!
