Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 664 Conversation with Angxiao
Although Lü Yang wavered for only a moment, Ang Xiao was no ordinary person; his eyesight was sharp, and he instantly noticed the unnaturalness in Lü Yang's behavior.

"Fellow Daoist, you are unaware."

This time, a genuine look of surprise appeared in his eyes: "I thought you had learned that secret and were somewhat confident, which is why you dared to use your grotto-heaven to refine a true treasure, thus severing your own path to cultivation. But it turns out you knew nothing about it. That's strange. Where did you get your confidence?"

Lu Yang could only remain silent in response.

How was he supposed to answer that? He couldn't exactly say it was because he cheated, so he had to stay silent and pretend to be an expert, at least that way people wouldn't be able to figure out his true abilities.

Fortunately, [Angxiao] didn't intend to pry into the details of the photo session.

He chuckled and said, "It seems you're really lucky, otherwise with your talent, you would have gone astray."

What do you mean?
Lu Yang's mind raced. He might not be as quick to understand as Ancestor Tingyou, but he was still quite capable in scheming and plotting.

The next second, his pupils shrank dramatically:

'There's something wrong with the Cave Heaven Method!'

'With my talent, if I hadn't used the grotto-heaven to refine true treasures, I could have broken through to the mid-stage using the [Enlightened Path Immortal Technique]. Is this what it means to have gone astray?'

Why is this so?
Thinking of this, Lü Yang frowned and felt heavy-hearted, but he saw that [Angxiao] looked calm and composed, just waiting for him to ask.

Is this some kind of attempt to manipulate me?

Lu Yang was naturally unwilling to be controlled by others like this. The worst thing in a conversation is to lose the initiative. How could he be willing to be suppressed like this?
Upon realizing this, Lü Yang immediately laughed and said, "Speaking of which, I have a deep-seated grudge against you outside, senior. I thought it was impossible to resolve, but I never expected to meet you again in this [Remnant Consciousness of Heaven and Man], and to be addressed as a fellow Daoist by you. It is quite interesting."

"A sea of ​​blood. A deep-seated hatred?"

The smile in Angxiao's eyes disappeared in the photo.

He knew his own character very well. There was no such thing as a blood feud in the world. As long as the benefits were enough, he could become sworn brothers with the person who killed his father.

The only possibility——

The next second, [Angxiao] narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "You ruined my plan? Was it [Fudenghuo]? Or one of the other positions?"

"All."

Lu Yang said calmly, "The seniors outside are currently living in seclusion in the Underworld, and they only have three of the Five Elements Fruit Positions left. Their path to Nascent Soul is fraught with difficulties."

Upon hearing this, [Angxiao] immediately realized the gravity of the situation: 'The Five Elements Fruit Positions... It seems my plan for the Underworld was indeed largely successful, but this person discovered it and sabotaged much of it. I managed to mitigate the damage in time, barely managing to salvage three positions?'

In an instant, he analyzed a great deal.

Even so, he couldn't help but feel a surge of resentment: 'If I hadn't been so ignorant back then, trapped by my limited position, how could I have suffered this calamity?'

However, on the surface, he remained unwavering.

"In that case, fellow Daoist and I do indeed have a grudge against each other for obstructing the path."

[Angxiao] paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "But that's something I need to worry about in this world. As a mere shadow, it doesn't really matter to me."

"really?"

Of course it's fake.

[Angxiao] Liuying felt gloomy. If his true body could achieve the Nascent Soul Dao Master, it would actually be of great benefit to him as Liuying.

However, he also knew that the two sides were vying for the initiative in the conversation, so he absolutely could not show weakness, otherwise he would fall into a disadvantageous position in the conversation and end up being fooled by the other side, exchanging his important information for a bunch of meaningless garbage, which would be a huge loss.

Just as he was pondering, Lü Yang spoke up first:

"I have carefully considered what you just said, senior, and I have some guesses. I am not sure if they are right or wrong. May I ask if you could enlighten me?" Upon hearing this, [Angxiao] Liuying was slightly moved, but said calmly, "You may try."

"The key lies in the Cave Heaven Method."

Lu Yang said in a deep voice, "Is there a problem with the method for breaking through to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm in the Cave Heaven Technique?"

Upon hearing this, Angxiao laughed heartily and said, "I don't know what you're talking about."

Even so, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly: 'I underestimated this person. The information I revealed before was too obvious, which allowed him to guess much of what was going on.'

At the same time, Lü Yang continued his analysis: "I also have a deduction about the specific problem. Could it be related to the characteristics of the [Unfallen Cave Heaven]? The Unfallen Cave Heaven is rooted in the fruit position. Although one will be immortal and indestructible from then on, the cultivator will also be deeply bound to the fruit position from then on."

The position is problematic!
Lu Yang already knew this. For example, the Golden Core True Monarch did not actually completely control the Fruit Position, but only obtained the long-term right to use it.

In this case, what would be the result of a deep binding with the fruit position?
Upon realizing this, Lü Yang was immediately horrified: "Bound to a position, yet the position doesn't belong to oneself. In the end, will one become nourishment for the position itself?"

Lü Yang stared intently at Angxiao taking a photo.

Unfortunately, the smoke surrounding the other person was too annoying, obscuring all emotional fluctuations and making it impossible for him to discern whether his guesses were true or false.

"Senior, do you think what I said is right or wrong?"

Before Lü Yang could finish speaking, [Angxiao] chuckled softly, his gaze towards Lü Yang carrying a hint of admiration, before shaking his head:
"Both right and wrong."

"To be reduced to nourishment for the fruition level is to exaggerate too much. What is the fruition level anyway? After we condense our grotto heaven, it is nothing more than something we can take or demand at will."

He refuted Lü Yang's guess.

"The key is still the Nascent Soul stage. The Cave Heaven Method was passed down by the Ancestral Master and spread throughout the world. With the Ancestral Master's vision, what position would he care about?"

"From beginning to end, the only things that the patriarch truly saw were the Nascent Soul and the Great Dao! So the only flaw of the Cave Heaven Method lies in this. If one uses the Cave Heaven Method to achieve the mid-stage, late-stage, or even perfect Golden Core and wants to seek the Dao again, no matter how well prepared, the chance of success is at most only 10%!"

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang immediately pursed his lips.

He wanted to ask: Why?

However, once this question is asked, the initiative is in Angxiao's hands, and you must offer enough bargaining chips to exchange with him.

And there's no guarantee you'll get a real one.

After all, that was Angxiao, a True Lord of the Holy Sect. Lü Yang strongly suspected that the other party would eventually come up with a dubious answer to fool him.

'You inherently evil old beast!'

Lu Yang cursed inwardly, but he was also thinking quickly, trying to find information that could help him regain the initiative. However, his ten lifetimes of cultivation were still too short.

In terms of secrets, he couldn't possibly know more than Angxiao.

Thinking of this, Lü Yang sighed and decisively gave up the idea of ​​asking any more questions. The light at his fingertips shone even brighter.

[Angxiao] was even more amazed upon seeing this while taking a photo:
'Such a decisive nature. He simply doesn't want to talk to me anymore. Rather than uncover some secret, he'd rather kill me and seize this opportunity first.'

However, he quickly reconsidered: 'It's probably because the information isn't valuable enough to sway him. That makes sense; after all, he's already cultivated his own grotto-heaven technique, so its flaws are no longer important to him. To get him to submit, I need to offer something more valuable.'

'It would be best if it concerned his life.'

Thinking of this, [Angxiao] frowned.
