Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 598 The Struggle to Survive!

Even in the critical moment, Lü Yang remained calm.

After all, he had experienced too many similar situations when he was building his foundation, so this little crisis was nothing to him. At least he still had a way to deal with it.

Now that things have come to this, he has figured it out.

'The World Honored One with the Groove!'

It must be him.

Although it's unclear how he connected with the Sword Pavilion or how he got [Gangxing Preaching True Monarch] to take action, it's certain that he was behind it all.

The problem lies in the motivation of [the True Lord of Rigid Form Preaching].

After all, he had no grudge against the Sword Pavilion, and considering the existence of the Demon-Slaying Master, the two sides even had some mutual respect. Theoretically, they shouldn't be enemies.

'Could it be because I used my swordsmanship rank?'

'impossible.'

Lu Yang shook his head, denying the guess. After all, his sword dao status had already been washed away by the "Book of a Hundred Lifetimes," leaving no cause or effect. He had also hidden it in the Myriad Spirits Banner, which had also been washed away by the "Book of a Hundred Lifetimes," so no one could find out his origins. At most, they would only know that he also had an outsider status.

If it's not for the sake of achieving a high rank in swordsmanship, then what is it for?
After putting himself in the shoes of [Gangxing Preaching True Lord], Lü Yang felt that the other party's biggest demand was probably to resolve the issue of matching fruition levels.

Can I help him?

'No, the matching of positions should be irreversible. Once a mistake is made, there's no going back. Otherwise, he would have already replaced him with the [True Lord Chengtian Zhengde].'

The four current rank of Jian Ge.

[Gold in the sand], [Fire in the furnace], [Dirt on the house], [Dirt on the wall].

The problem with 【Gangxing Preaching True Lord】 lies in the conflict between 【Fire in the Furnace】 and 【Earth on the Roof】, which is why he has been living in seclusion in Jian Ge for many years.

This indicates a problem with the very foundation of the Great Dao.

If he could freely change the matching fruit position, why would he be so troubled? He could simply replace [Roof Soil] with [Wall Soil] and the problem would be solved.

but--

'If he could manage to change either the imagery of "fire in the furnace" or "earth on the roof," perhaps he could find another way to solve this problem.'

After all, the conflict between these two levels of attainment is a conflict of images. If one of the images changes and the conflict ceases, the problem will naturally be solved.

So how do we change the imagery?

'Supreme Status!'

In an instant, Lü Yang saw the truth as if the clouds had parted to reveal the sun: 'That guy, could it be that he wants to replace the Heavenly Fire with the Furnace Fire?'

It's not impossible!

If the "Fire in the Furnace" attains the supreme status, the "Earth on the Roof" will naturally be completely suppressed and will no longer be able to conflict with it.

'In this way, not only can [Gangxing Preaching True Monarch] recover to his peak, but he might even be able to wield a supreme position like [Angxiao], and from then on, the Nascent Soul stage is within reach! Such a plan could not have been accomplished overnight; he has most likely been secretly plotting for many years.'

Of course, it's also acceptable to let [Roof Earth] attain the supreme position.

However, the Earth Element Supreme is now [City Wall Earth], which is related to the World Honored One. Rather than competing with the World Honored One for meat, [Heavenly Fire] is undoubtedly a better choice.

With this thought in mind, Lü Yang considered another matter:

The legacy of [Heavenly Fire] has almost been extinct in this world!
The reason given is that "heavenly fire" is difficult to prove, which is quite reasonable. But now, with countless capable people in the world, if it's difficult to prove, will no one bother to prove it?
Moreover, the Foundation Establishment skill of [Heavenly Fire] is truly powerful.

'It's possible that this [Rigid Form Preaching True Lord] was involved behind the scenes, deliberately extinguishing the [Heavenly Fire] lineage and forcing this Daoist position into seclusion!'

After all, it's easier for him to operate when the position is unclaimed.

'If that's the case, my confirmation of [Heavenly Fire] might actually ruin his years-long plan, which would explain his motive for ambushing me.'

Thinking of this, Lü Yang couldn't help but sigh.

'This wretched place is truly not to be underestimated.'

Take, for example, the way of doing things is like a sword hidden in its sheath, never drawn, unmoved by outside gossip.

Once drawn, it's meant to kill!
At this moment, Lü Yang deeply felt the killing intent of the [Rigid Form Preaching True Monarch], knowing that the other party had no possibility of stopping. Ever since he proved [Heavenly Fire], to put it bluntly, he and the other party had already become Dao enemies! Only the fall of one of them could truly end this. "Hoo!"

After figuring everything out, Lü Yang sighed deeply, feeling dizzy and noticing that the bloodstain on his neck had expanded again.

After such a fierce battle, he is now at his last gasp.

The reason he has been able to hold on until now is because he absorbed the external Dao fruit position of the Myriad Martial Realm, which improved his cultivation and allowed him to refine a true treasure; otherwise, he would have died long ago.

Suddenly, Lü Yang felt a chill in his heart.

A sense of impending doom and certain death washed over him, causing him to look up in his deathbed and realize: 'That sword seed has locked onto me!'

If he leaves now and falls into the Heavenly Sea of ​​Light, then the [Rigid Form Preaching True Monarch] will appear in front of him simultaneously, within three feet. Once a sword cultivator whose cultivation far surpasses his own gets close enough to approach him, his life or death will no longer be in his own hands, but will be entirely at the mercy of the other party.

'We have no choice but to take a gamble.'

Lu Yang did not want to reopen the gates, so he immediately made up his mind and the righteous banner appeared behind him, summoning Ancestor Tingyou and Empress Xiao to stand side by side.

"I'm entrusting this to the three of you." Lü Yang bowed deeply.

If we were to say that [the True Lord of Gangxing Preaching] made any miscalculations...

Perhaps it is them.

'Besides Empress Xiao, Fellow Daoist Suohuan and Patriarch Tingyou were both cleansed by the [Book of a Hundred Lifetimes]. Their previous karmic ties were due to them wearing the skin of their original incarnations.'

However, as long as the original cause and effect are stripped away.

They would revert to being causeless and unpredictable spirits, therefore [Gangxing Preaching True Lord] certainly did not include them in his calculations!
From the very beginning, Lü Yang wandered within the Heavenly Sea of ​​Light, entering and exiting the Void, calculating that the anchor point was bait used to deceive the [Gangxing Preaching True Lord].

In fact, the Ancestor Tingyou and Suohuan on the other side were calculating a completely different anchor point.

'Returning to the Immortal Pivot is impossible. The path back is blocked, making it impossible to calculate the outcome. And from other locations, the enemy will catch up.'

To survive, he had to go to a place where the "Rigid Form Preaching True Lord" dared not pursue him.

There is only one answer:
'【Tianfu】!'

Lu Yang also carries the calamity of water and fire left by the Immortal Lord of Lesser Yin. If we trace the cause and effect from it, we can deduce the coordinates of the location of [Tianfu].

As a super-heavenly realm, [Gangxing Preaching True Monarch] certainly wouldn't dare to rashly intrude.

After all, a Grand True Monarch in the late Golden Core stage is too conspicuous, while he, in the early Golden Core stage, has room to maneuver if he can conceal himself.

"Is that really necessary?"

Inside the Righteous Path Banner, Ancestor Tingyou looked worried: "[Tianfu] and I don't have much information, and we are also enemies, so we are bound to be in great danger."

"And Jiangxi, are you going to abandon the Righteousness Path you just founded?"

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang shook his head, his tone firm: "If you save the land but lose the people, you will lose both; if you save the people but lose the land, you will gain both. You must give up something to gain something!"

"Besides, it doesn't necessarily mean we have to give up."

“The disciples of the Righteous Path can be kept as a means of communication between me, the Immortal Pivot, and the Holy Sect. Anyway, I can summon them at any time using the Righteous Path Flag.”

"This is just a temporary retreat. As long as I can catch my breath, recover my strength, and treat these injuries, I can always commit suicide and be resurrected in the [Heavenly Fire] to get back. Then I can settle the score with those sword seedlings in the Sword Pavilion!"

At this point, Lü Yang gritted his teeth inwardly.

If he were simply trying to escape back to the Immortal Pivot, he could still find a way. But with the [Rigid Form Preaching True Lord] watching him like a hawk, going back would still mean a near-death experience for him.

As for True Lord Flying Snow?

'Who knows if she'll make other deals with the Sword Pavilion and then sell me out? At least this time, didn't she use me as bait?'

The Holy Ancestor True Lord cannot be trusted!
You still have to rely on yourself!

Therefore, after much thought, Lü Yang decided that he might as well try his luck in Tianfu.

At least the imagery of those fruit positions in [Tianfu] is highly beneficial to [Tianhuo]. If handled well, it might be an opportunity for him to make rapid progress.

This is my struggle to survive!
