Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 655 The man has gold at his knees

Master Fuyao, the true direct descendant of the Sword Pavilion.

Lu Yang remembered clearly that he had met this person once before the end of his previous life. The other person cultivated the [Sword Edge Gold], one of the supreme fruits.

"The three Daoist titles of Sword Pavilion are Demon Slayer, Evil Exorcist, and Demon Subduer. Demon Slayer is self-explanatory; it's just a consumable used to prove the Dao of the Sword. Evil Exorcist was unlucky because he cultivated White Wax Gold, which conflicted with Soaring Sky, so he was also abandoned. Only the Demon Subduer was well protected."

Lu Yang quickly calculated with his fingers and understood the cause and effect clearly:

"Judging by the timeline, at this point in his previous life, he should have just mastered his fifth divine ability and was not long away from breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage."

Then, he glanced at [Tai].

Although this number one emperor of the Taihuang Realm did not cultivate the orthodox path, he was actually not weak. In fact, even if he were placed in the Immortal Pivot, his strength would be among the top.

In his memory, he had once encountered the Demon-Subduing True Man on his path to immortality, and was defeated by his three sword strikes. He barely escaped death by fleeing in a sorry state. At first glance, it seems like he was a weakling, but upon closer examination, one must realize the true level of the Demon-Subduing True Man. He was a Foundation Establishment Perfection True Man, a cultivator at the Supreme Fruit stage!

Moreover, being from the Sword Pavilion, he must possess sword intent.

With both combined, the strength of the Demon Subduer is unimaginable; he is definitely one of the best among those who have reached the peak of Foundation Establishment, and is comparable to Lü Yang before he sought gold.

However, he did not kill [Tai].

The three sword strikes only managed to injure [Tai], and [Tai] escaped in the end. Judging from this alone, [Tai]'s strength is already quite exaggerated.

'But that's normal.'

'After all, it's based on my blood, and this [Tai] is different from ordinary emperors; he actually circulates three drops of my blood within his body.'

A single drop of his blood could create an emperor.

Not to mention three drops of blood.

After searching the soul, Lü Yang understood the origin of this: ordinary emperors, after dominating the Taihuang Realm for ten thousand years, will soon reach their end and die.

However, there is always a way out. As long as the Emperor's cultivation can advance further before then, and he can once again attract the "Immortal Blood" to descend, or swallow the immortal medicine tainted with the "Immortal Blood", he can live a second life and extend his life by ten thousand years. And [Tai] is such an Emperor.

He is even both.

Not only was his cultivation so high that he could draw upon the blood of two immortals, but he also consumed the elixir of immortality, thus granting him a lifespan of 30,000 years. He is now in the twilight of his third incarnation.

"It's quite amazing."

Lu Yang praised him. Although he came from the Lesser Realm, the Lesser Realm was not without its own prodigies. After all, Suo Huan was also from the Lesser Realm back then.

Compared to this, Lü Yang was more interested in the so-called "Path to Immortality".

'What path to immortality? It's most likely a spatial passage leading to the interior of the shadowy region. How could the Demon-Subduing Immortal actually travel to that place?'

Could that be the territory of Jian Ge?

It's possible. After all, even the Holy Sect secretly established a Heavenly Palace; how could the Sword Pavilion not have one?

'Thinking about it carefully, the Demon Subduing True Man cultivates the [Sword Edge Gold] technique, but the Supreme Fruit realm is incredibly difficult to attain, yet he has already reached the Foundation Establishment stage and even has a chance to obtain the Gold realm.'

Looking back, he put in countless efforts to cultivate the Heavenly Fire. Even with the accumulation of ten lifetimes, he almost failed at the last moment.

What makes the Demon-Subduing Master so special?
Could there be an incredible opportunity within the shadowy area?
'In my previous life, I even breached the Sword Pavilion, yet I never saw the Demon-Subduing Master. Then, out of nowhere, he appeared.'

Could he have been hiding here back then?
The more Lü Yang speculated, the more curious he became about the shadowy area, and he also recalled [Tai]'s memories of the path to immortality.

It was a door that appeared out of nowhere.

When it was activated, the heavens and earth trembled, and ancient incantations resounded throughout the land, like some kind of ancient ritual. Corpses even fell out of thin air from within. In addition, there were many phantom images of buildings.

Through Tai's memories, Lü Yang also saw what the path to immortality looked like, and saw the magnificent light and shadow standing inside, like a grand palace.

At the time, Tai thought it was a great calamity. It wasn't until he approached to stop it that he discovered the celestial light emanating from it could prolong his life and nourish his body and soul. He immediately concluded that it was the path to the immortal realm.

"The divine light that sustains life?"

A look of surprise appeared in Lü Yang's eyes. He then looked at Tai and, without giving the other party the right to refuse, took out a crystal with a sweep of his divine sense.

This is the condensation of that celestial light from the past.

[Tai] absorbed one, greatly increasing his cultivation and living a second life. However, absorbing a second one was useless, so he chose to keep it close to his body.

It was only because Tai discovered that if this celestial light crystal was kept close to the body, it could suppress his life force and ensure that he would not be affected by the passage of time while he was sleeping in the forbidden zone. There were many similar celestial lights, and many of them were scattered at the time. Later emperors who established forbidden zones almost all had one.

Lu Yang held the crystal and sensed it briefly:
'I knew it. This is imagery! A condensed image!'

In an instant, Lü Yang's eyes lit up: 'Moreover, it's a crystallization of time imagery. Even if [Tai] absorbs it, strictly speaking, it doesn't actually extend lifespan.'

'Instead, his personal time has been further reduced!'

Lu Yang wasn't interested in this kind of imagery crystallization; what truly concerned him was the source of the imagery, which was likely an extremely powerful fruition.

But soon, he frowned:

"Is the path to immortality closed?"

Upon hearing this, Tai, who had been eager to show off, quickly whispered, "Although it's closed, the opening time is fast approaching."

"The reason why we, the Emperors, have been in slumber and transformed into forbidden zones is to wait for the path to immortality to reopen so that we can break in at the right time and in the right place. Back then, I couldn't hold out alone, but this time, with the combined strength of ten Emperors, no one can stop us unless a true immortal descends to earth!"

Of course, none of this matters now.

Tai's gaze was incredibly intense; he had already decided that Lü Yang was the true immortal he had been longing for. With a true immortal right in front of him, wasn't that more reliable than the path to immortality?
With this thought in mind, he simply knelt down on the ground:

"I, Xiu Tai, am willing to serve you faithfully from now on, even unto death, only asking that you bestow upon me the power to help this world turn the tide. I will be eternally grateful!"

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang raised an eyebrow: "You don't want immortality?"

Upon hearing this, Tai shook his head:

"This humble cultivator dares not be greedy, only begging the immortals to save this world. As for immortality, that is but a selfish wish, which I dare not dare to ask for. I am willing to fight to the death on the path to immortality!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lü Yang chuckled softly, his expression filled with emotion.

Both being minor realms, and both acting for their own realms, he couldn't help but think of Suo Huan.

"Alright."

Lu Yang changed the subject: "I have a fellow Daoist who has opened the [Huanxu Heaven], and you are also destined to meet him. Since you are sincere, how about I accept him as a disciple on behalf of my friend?"

Without saying a word, Tai immediately kowtowed: "Greetings, Sect Leader!"

He could see clearly that the person before him was a living immortal. Compared to the immortal lineage, what was he? At this moment, he couldn't talk about imperial dignity.

The man has gold at his knees.

Now is the time to withdraw your winnings!
Moreover, Lu Yang referred to them as fellow Daoists, which means that the other party has more than one True Immortal, and their sect must be of great origin. Perhaps I have actually benefited from this!
