Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 661, First Trial: The Human World

Longtu's soul was scattered.

There was no suspense. Although he still had some trump cards up his sleeve, all his struggles were futile under the suppression of the Golden Core True Monarch's status.

Immediately afterwards, Lü Yang waved his hand.

The movement was as simple as wiping away a speck of dust; the figure of the Demon-Subduing Master vanished from the spot as if he had never been there at all.

As for the Ten Emperors, since they were supported by his own blood, Lü Yang was kind-hearted and did not intend to kill them. So he took out the Righteous Path Banner and transformed it into a celestial gate that stood there. When these Emperors voluntarily became banner spirits, with him protecting their true spirits, they could be considered immortal.

"Hey, I'm just too upright."

After doing all this, Lü Yang turned to look at the palace complex in front of him. After thinking for a moment, he walked into the pavilion where the Demon Subduing Immortal had come out earlier.

"Boom!"

The next second, the pavilion doors closed, and Lü Yang stood inside, looking around but not finding anything amiss, only his spiritual senses were faintly vibrating.

'It seems the checkpoint isn't in this attic.'

'Needs sensing.'

Lu Yang frowned slightly, wanting to summon Ancestor Tingyou to inquire, but since Ancestor Tingyou was already a Golden Core True Monarch, it was not appropriate for him to appear here.

"This place is forbidden to Golden Core True Monarchs. Our Ancestral Master and the others are in a deep slumber, their energy isolated. Furthermore, since they are banner spirits, they were able to deceive us. If they were awakened, they wouldn't be able to conceal themselves like I have, which would likely cause a riot here, and there would be considerable danger."

Thinking of this, Lü Yang felt utterly helpless.

This wretched place is completely unsuitable for showcasing my talents.

Damn it!
After a while, Lü Yang finally collected his thoughts, sat down in the pavilion, closed his eyes, and began to sense every inch of the space.

'No, perhaps we should look at it from a different angle.'

Lu Yang raised an eyebrow, recalling what Long Tu had said before: this [Remnant Consciousness of Heaven and Man] barrier was very likely formed spontaneously by the [Sea of ​​Bitterness].

Since that's the case, it shouldn't be viewed with ordinary eyes.

We must open the sea of ​​suffering!
Upon realizing this, a divine light flashed in Lü Yang's eyes. Sensing the [Sea of ​​Bitterness], the pavilion in front of him underwent a tremendous change in the next second.

It just feels a bit fake.

Lu Yang was astonished. The pavilion that had appeared so real to him had become illusory after he used the [Sea of ​​Bitterness] vision.

"So that's how it is. This is the threshold for entering the level. To enter, one must at least reach the [Path of Pursuit] level, capable of seeing through the [Sea of ​​Bitterness], only then are they qualified to enter. Otherwise, even if they come, they will only leave empty-handed. That's why that Dragon Map dared to propose cooperation with me."

'You underestimate me!'

Of course, Lü Yang could understand, since not every True Lord could see into the [Sea of ​​Bitterness].

The Demon Subduer Master is probably the same; at the Foundation Establishment stage, without the help of his ever-present grandfather, Long Tu, he wouldn't even be qualified to pass the level.

The next second, the world in Lü Yang's eyes shattered completely.

Looking back, he found himself atop a cloud-covered peak, surrounded by howling winds and rolling clouds, with a clear blue sky overhead.

Unconsciously, a sudden realization welled up in my mind.

[The Human World].

Lü Yang looked around, somewhat curious: 'The first level is called "The Human World," but what does "The Human World" mean?'

The next second, a young cultivator dressed in black robes emerged from the surging clouds. At a glance, his status was no different from that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator at the peak.

"May I ask, fellow Daoist?"

Seeing this, Lü Yang cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and asked, "May I ask what mysteries this [Human World] holds?"

The black-robed cultivator gave Lü Yang a deep look upon hearing this, then smiled: "Didn't expect you to be a newcomer. What's so special about you? Kill me, and you'll understand." Rumble!
In an instant, a giant hand descended from the sky. Before the black-robed cultivator could even react, his sneer hadn't even faded when Lü Yang slapped his skull, crushing his soul as well. His figure disintegrated, finally turning into a collapsing mass of imagery, vanishing without a trace.

"No, I don't understand either."

Lu Yang frowned, lamenting the wickedness of human nature. Even though he had already killed the other party, they still lied to him. It was truly difficult to be a good person in this world.

However, the next second, Lü Yang raised his eyebrows slightly.

After the black-robed youth died, Lü Yang suddenly felt a sense of relief, and his soul, consciousness, and thoughts seemed to function more smoothly.

"what is this?"

Lu Yang was somewhat surprised, but before he could figure it out, the surrounding sea of ​​clouds surged again, and a second challenger appeared, who was also at the peak of Foundation Establishment.

Hmm... Why are they all at the Foundation Establishment stage?
Lu Yang's expression gradually became arrogant. That's right, besides him, who else could deceive everyone and come here with the cultivation of a Golden Core True Monarch?
It's only normal when the foundation is fully established!
"I am Qinghe, a cultivator from the [Star Palace]."

The second challenger appeared refined and cultured, holding a folding fan. He didn't rush to attack after appearing, but instead looked at Lü Yang and chuckled softly.
"May I ask where you come from, fellow traveler?"

Boom!

Lu Yang didn't bother with any nonsense and slapped him as usual, turning him into a meat patty on the spot. His physical body and soul then disintegrated and scattered.

Seeing this, Lü Yang's mind became increasingly clear, but a question also arose in his mind: 'These people's bodies are entirely constructed from images, unlike real people. They must be the manifestations of cultivators who once visited the [Remnant Consciousness of Celestials], indistinguishable from avatars.'

'If I scatter them now, will it affect the main body?'

【Star Palace】, Azure Dragon constellation.

Above the vast expanse of the universe, the [Horned Dragon] star map hangs high, with a celestial palace suspended in the map. Only after passing through nine golden steps can one see a magnificent hall standing tall.

Inside the main hall, a young man sat cross-legged.

He was meditating and regulating his breathing. His energy was in harmony with the [Horned Dragon] star chart. As he breathed, the essence of the star sea surged forth, creating a truly magnificent scene.

However, the next second, the young man's body suddenly swayed, his eyes opened, and then he tilted his head back and fell off the platform with a thud. His originally fair face turned red, as if he was trying his best to endure it. After a long time, he finally couldn't suppress it anymore and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"what--!"

The young man vomited three liters of blood and only recovered after a long time, but his face was filled with terror: "What a powerful curse technique! Who wanted to harm me? Why did they want to harm me?"

If he hadn't attained the position of Star Lord, he would probably be dead by now!

How could this be?

The young man climbed onto the platform, meditated for a while, and then gathered his magical power to silently calculate. His expression gradually turned gloomy.
'So that's how it is. Entering that [Remnant Consciousness of a Celestial Being] back then actually had such drawbacks. It seems a newly ascended junior must have killed my illusory image, thus affecting my true body. But that shouldn't be the case; my illusory image was incredibly powerful, virtually unmatched among Foundation Establishment cultivators. How could someone have killed it?'

This is not a sign of youthful arrogance or complacency.

But it is true. When he entered the [Remnant Consciousness of Heaven and Man], he carried a secret treasure that could unleash the power of a Star Lord if necessary.

The photo session will be a complete copy of the original record.

So theoretically speaking, unless the other party also has a Star Lord father like him back then, with a powerful background, it would be impossible for him to kill the shadow.

Moreover, taking photos was a conscious decision.

In the "Human World," the battle of wits doesn't necessarily have to end in life or death. Based on my own style, I would probably talk to the other party first and try to achieve a win-win situation.

In this situation, could it be that the other party didn't listen to what Liu Ying said at all and just attacked directly?
'Could it be a demon from the Celestial Pivot?'

The young man looked doubtful, his brows furrowed, but he quickly relaxed: "Fine, anyway, the [Human World] level is already a dead end."

'The person who committed this act was so violent; the faster they run, the sooner they'll die!'
