Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 656 The Dao Lord's Inheritance!?
"Okay, get up."

Lu Yang smiled slightly and gestured, "Tell me about the Path to Immortality. How did you confirm that the Path to Immortality would open within the next ten thousand years?"

He had already searched the soul of [Tai], but the other party's memory in this regard was quite vague, as if it appeared out of thin air, without any cause or effect. When he tried to deduce it, he got nothing, as if the so-called path to immortality was just an illusion, and everything was just his illusion.

Something is obviously wrong.

"Reporting to the Sect Leader, the specific time was obtained by Tianqi."

[Tai] bowed deeply: "We, the Emperors, will all have inexplicable insights after attaining the Dao, and will know the time when the path to immortality will open, as if someone is transmitting a message to us."

"Oh? Is this happening?"

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang raised an eyebrow, his expression somewhat strange: 'Breaking through to the peak of Foundation Establishment allows one to sense things, yet here he is, out of nowhere, knowing when the Path to Immortality will open.'

'Doesn't this look a bit like a sect's secret realm?'

Some of the smaller sects in the Immortal Pivot are particularly fond of this kind of thing.

Each sect rules a region, and everyone under its jurisdiction is a potential candidate for the secret realm. As long as someone's aptitude meets the requirements, they will be immediately drawn into the secret realm.

Those who pass the screening in the secret realm and meet the entry requirements will be absorbed by the sect and become its fresh blood. This is one of the methods for small sects to cultivate disciples. However, because this method is too fancy, costly, and inefficient, only small sects use it.

Thinking about this, Lü Yang became even more astonished:

'Only small sects with relatively normal conduct and not so beastly would use such humane methods to select their disciples.'

The Holy Emperor never engaged in these fancy and frivolous practices.

They accept anyone who is human, regardless of whether they are a disciple or not. Only those who survive in the Holy Sect are disciples, while those who die are considered materials to contribute to the Holy Sect.

'So, if the Path to Immortality really is a secret realm, then the one who established it might have been a powerful being with relatively normal conduct?'

is it possible?

Lu Yang was filled with doubt. After all, how could someone who could rise to such a powerful position in such a desolate place be a kind and benevolent person?
'I still have to see it with my own eyes.'

Lu Yang frowned slightly, thinking to himself, 'I've been in this realm for so long, yet I still haven't received the notification that the path to immortality has opened.'

'Could it be that I've exceeded the screening criteria?'

Thinking of this, his heart sank slightly; such a thing was not impossible.

After all, according to [Tai], only those who achieve the status of Emperor can receive the prompt, which means that the shadowy area is very likely only accessible to those who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

If that's the case, then it's going to be difficult.

Lu Yang pondered for a moment, but then a doubt arose: 'No, ultimately, the reason I came here is due to the pull of cause and effect, which means I was originally destined for this world.'

If there truly was no affinity to enter that shadowy area, then he shouldn't have been able to sense the cause and effect of this place in the first place. Since he sensed it, it means he met the conditions, but there might be an important key that he hasn't discovered yet.

At this moment, outside the Taihuang Realm.

Lu Yang sat upright in the void, silently examining himself, and a guess gradually emerged in his mind: "Could it be because I no longer have a cave heaven?"

This is quite subtle.

After all, he had already refined the [Tianzhu Sixuan Cave Heaven] into the true treasure [Huangting], so strictly speaking, he no longer actually has a cave heaven.

However, he did not fall from his level because of this.

After all, the main body of [Huang Ting] is still inside [Heavenly Fire]. As long as he doesn't take it out, he can still maintain the connection with [Heavenly Fire].

Of course, having lost his grotto-heaven, his path to enlightenment has been severed in the strict sense. Unless it is reopened, he will not be able to break through to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm again. In fact, once the Yellow Court is extracted from the Heavenly Fire, his connection with the Heavenly Fire will be severed, and he will fall from the position of True Monarch.

'Perhaps this is what confused the judgment of the shadowed area?'

Lu Yang's eyes gradually brightened: 'Although I am currently at the level of a Golden Core True Monarch in all aspects, in a broader sense I am more like a Foundation Establishment cultivator.' But the True Monarch's status is ultimately what it is.

That's why the shadowy area presents such a contradictory situation; it clearly lured him here using cause and effect, but then prevented him from entering at the last moment.

'If that's the case, then it's easy to solve.'

As long as we find a way to lower the guard of the shadowy area and leave it open to him, it will be difficult, but not impossible.

The simplest method is to extract the [Huang Ting] (a point on the forehead).

However, in that case, his cultivation level and rank would be reduced to the Foundation Establishment Perfection level, at most temporarily holding the Gold rank, which would not be in line with his original intention.

'After all, I'm going there to crush noobs.'

'If I lower my rank to the peak of Foundation Establishment, what if I encounter some amazing prodigy who defeats me? What will become of my reputation then?'

The Buddha's teachings are still fresh in our minds.

We must be vigilant!

With this in mind, Lü Yang decided to find a way to deceive the senses of the shadow area and enter it in the peak form of a Golden Core True Monarch.

Besides, there are ways to solve this.

'I'll just restart, refresh the [Cuckoo in the Nest] talent in the next life, and then use it to replace a Foundation Establishment Perfection character. That should be enough to fool everyone.'

This is the best method; the talent of the [Hundred Generations Book] is still quite valuable.

'The next best method is for me to consume my own luck and use my [Fortune-Preserving Lottery] talent to forcibly draw a future that I can deceive into.'

Thinking this, Lü Yang's eyes darted around: 'There's no need for me to waste my own fortune. Isn't this vast Taihuang Realm full of top-notch talent? They used my blood to cultivate, incurring a karmic debt to me, which they naturally have to repay. Let them repay me with their own fortune.'

However, it's too early to say.

Soon, Lü Yang gathered his thoughts and closed his eyes to enter a meditative state.

After all, according to [Tai], it would be ten thousand years before the path to immortality would open, which would be only one year for him, who was outside the Taihuang Realm.

He can wait that long.

This is a good opportunity for him to take stock of what he has gained in Tianfu and to sort out his future path, so as to prepare for his next life.

Inside a pavilion.

A young man in white sat upright on a futon. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and frowned slightly: "Sword Heart warns. It seems that some kind of crisis is approaching me."

"Oh? Is a crisis approaching?"

Within the youth's sea of ​​consciousness, an aged laugh resounded: "This is quite interesting. Could it be one of your demonic sects? If so, I think you are doomed and won't be able to leave this place. There might be a Golden Core True Monarch outside watching you with predatory eyes."

The young man frowned upon hearing this:

"I have said it many times: my Jade Pivot Sword Pavilion is the leader of the righteous path, while those people in Jiangbei are the demonic path. Do not confuse me with them."

"There's not much difference."

The aged voice sneered, saying, "You're all birds of a feather from that wretched place called Immortal Pivot. To us, you're all collectively known as the Demon Lords of Immortal Pivot."

"I saw that although you have taken a risky path and are deeply entrenched in demonic tendencies, you are not inherently evil and are still redeemable. In addition, I also want to return to the mortal world, so I went through all sorts of hardships to find you this opportunity to enter the [Remnant Consciousness of Heaven and Man]. This is the greatest opportunity of your life!"

The young man in white raised an eyebrow upon hearing this: "How big?"

"Greater than the heavens!" the aged voice boomed. "Looking across the entire Void Sea of ​​Light, this place is probably the last remaining legacy of a Dao Lord!"
