Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 617 Awakening One After Another, the Broken Sword is Reforged!
The Heretical Alliance.

Above the sky, a myriad of golden lights swirled and converged into visible waves, rising and falling—the embodiment of money.

At the heart of the golden light, a magnificent banner fluttered in the wind, surrounded by shimmering, colorful spiritual objects. The surrounding golden light, like alchemical fire, continuously refined these spiritual objects, turning them into streams of liquid that flowed into the banner, creating breathtaking scenes.

'Finally done!'

Dressed in a white robe, Lü Yang stood up, exhaling a long breath, and finally a genuine smile appeared on his tired face.

At this moment, inside the Righteous Path Banner.

The three sealed consciousnesses—the Demon-Slaying Immortal, Suo Huan, and Empress Xiao—were revived and recovered from their near-death state under the nourishment of spiritual objects.

After all, Lü Yang had put a lot of effort into this.

All the spiritual items were purchased by him through Qingyang Immortal Lord using the Worry-Free Talisman. They were holy healing items that could even be used by True Lords, and he used them all up.

"call."

The first to regain consciousness was Suo Huan, after all, he was a true lord, and the [Spring Water] itself was more inclined to healing, which could help him recover from his injuries.

Even so, Suo Huan's body was still covered with fine cracks visible to the naked eye, and the light of water and fire constantly surged, making it difficult for his physical body to fully recover. On the contrary, the sword marks left by the [Gangxing Preaching True Monarch] had basically healed, and all the sword energy had been expelled.

"I'm sorry to have caused you suffering, fellow Daoist."

Lu Yang stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "I can handle the sword energy, but I'm afraid you'll have to be patient with this water and fire calamity for a while longer."

Both types of injuries have their own unique characteristics.

Generally speaking, if a True Monarch in the early stage of the Golden Core stage suffers from any of these ailments, it will develop into a serious and intractable illness, and with bad luck, they may even be dragged to death.

This is why Lü Yang still had a Sword Dao Fruit in his possession, which allowed him to neutralize the sword energy of [Gangxing Preaching True Lord]. However, while the sword energy could be dispelled, the other calamity of water and fire was much more difficult to overcome. After much thought, Lü Yang concluded that the only way to resolve the calamity was to invite a Sun Immortal Lord from the Heavenly Palace to intervene.

'Both the Sun and the Lesser Yin possess the wondrous power to govern water and fire.'

'However, the Sun's authority surpasses that of the Lesser Yin, so even someone at the early stage of Immortal Lord should be able to resolve this calamity of water and fire.'

Of course, it can't be a miscellaneous character like Qingyang Immortal Lord, who is in the "internal realm".

'It must be at least a central position.'

'Whether it's the position of the Celestial Master or the position of the Spring Master, it seems the process of training disciples needs to be accelerated; we must cultivate a Sun Immortal Lord as soon as possible!'

Seeing Lü Yang's furrowed brows, Suo Huan smiled instead:
"Fellow Daoist, there is no need to worry."

"I am fortunate to have survived this ordeal thanks to you, fellow Daoist. There is no rush to heal your wounds. You can take your time to plan it out. Please do not force it."

Suo Huan was quite relaxed about his injuries. His face showed no gloom from his serious injuries. On the contrary, he seemed to be in a good mood. After all, judging from Lü Yang's current appearance, he had obviously escaped with his life and should even be doing quite well recently. That was enough for him.

Immediately afterwards, Empress Xiao also regained consciousness:
"Hmm~"

With a soft moan, Empress Xiao slowly opened her eyes. Her original physical body had exploded, and her current body was reconstructed by Lü Yang.

"Survived."

Empress Xiao looked around, then sensed the state of the incense and the sacred path, and breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that she had made the right bet again.

Then, she looked at Lü Yang:
'I knew it!'

When she decided to stand with Lü Yang, she remained loyal to him even when being pursued by the "Hard-Form Preaching True Lord," and even chose to sacrifice herself.
Of course, it wasn't because feelings developed over time.

It's purely a matter of self-interest.

Even if I were to pledge allegiance to the [Solid Form Preaching True Lord], as an outsider, even if I were to betray Lü Yang, it would merely be an insignificant icing on the cake.

'However, I chose to stand with Lü Yang, even sacrificing my own body to clear a path for him. This is a matter of loyalty and a crucial act of kindness in his time of need! Besides, Lü Yang is quite strange; although he comes from the Holy Sect, he is surprisingly loyal to the past. If I help him, he will help me in return.'

As it turned out, she won her gamble.

The next second, Empress Xiao smiled sweetly at Lü Yang, instantly exuding charm. Her beautiful eyes seemed to overflow with tears as she stared intently at Lü Yang.

"How long have I been asleep?" "Two years."

Lu Yang chuckled as well, then cupped his hands in thanks: "I must thank Your Majesty the Empress for your help earlier. I will surely repay your kindness in the future."

"Okay."

Empress Xiao gently stroked her skirt: "Then I'll wait for your day."

The implication was very clear, but Lü Yang was not a lecherous person, so he quickly suppressed all distracting thoughts with his strong will.

There are more important things to do.

Soon, the third divine thought, which was also the most severely injured, slowly awakened. It was none other than the Demon-Slaying True Man who had severed his own path to enlightenment and was almost completely destroyed.

"I'm so glad I'm still alive."

The moment he awoke, the Demon-Slaying Master felt only relief.

Just as he always said: "It's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death," it was this obsession that led to the creation of the world-renowned Unkillable Sword Intent.

Soon, the Demon-Slaying Master saw Lü Yang.

Then he laughed:

"You survived too? That's even better."

Lu Yang responded with a smile: "Senior, relax. Here, I have a great treasure for you. Quickly integrate your soul and sword intent into it."

As he spoke, Lü Yang took out his Sword Dao Fruit.

On the other side, the Demon-Slaying Master was still in a daze, decisively following Lü Yang's instructions to integrate into the Sword Dao Realm, while pondering what had happened:
'What is this?'

'It's somewhat like kendo. But that's impossible; I've already returned to kendo. Could it be some kind of method to forge me into a sword?'

If that's the case, he wouldn't be surprised.

After all, Lü Yang belonged to the Holy Sect. Seeing that he had fallen from the position of True Monarch and was no longer of any use, it was only natural for him to want to make the best use of Lü Yang's talents.

It's just a bit of a pity.

Dying?

The Demon-Slaying Master waited silently for a while, only to find that he had not died. Instead, his vital energy gradually began to rise, and his spirit became clearer.

He then realized:
'A kendo qualification!?'

Although he didn't realize it at first, he had now completely immersed himself in it, and the true nature of the Sword Dao Realm could no longer be hidden from him.

The next second, the Demon-Slaying True Man, who had fallen from the Foundation Establishment stage, crossed the boundary again and returned to the True Monarch level. His aura also transformed into sharp sword energy once more. Although it was a completely new position, he could sense it as if it were his own.

Reforged the Broken Sword!

A moment later, the Demon-Slaying Immortal opened his eyes, glanced at Lü Yang with a complex expression, then, sword in hand, solemnly bowed to him:
"I will never forget your kindness in saving me, fellow Daoist."

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang shook his head: "It was you who saved my life first, senior. What happened in the past is what happens today. We are in the same boat, so why bother to distinguish between us?"

Upon hearing this, the Demon-Slaying Immortal paused for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Fellow Daoist, what you say is quite right!"

These words really struck a chord with him.

Why did he go to save Lü Yang that day?
There were no benefits, only disadvantages, even the risk of ruining one's future and losing one's life, but he didn't care about these pros and cons and still decisively saved him.

Why bother distinguishing so clearly?
Many people are too clear-cut in their distinctions and perspectives, seeing this as advantageous and that as harmful, always seeking advantage and avoiding harm, which is why the world has become what it is today.

He didn't want to see it so clearly.

So if he could do it, he did it.
