Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 669 The Second Anchor Point: The Drawbacks of the Cave Heaven Technique!
In the boundless darkness, Lü Yang stood silently on the surface of the abyss.

This is the world before it reopened.

At first, Lü Yang couldn't even perceive the existence of this world. He only felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and when he opened them, he was already in the next life.

However, as his cultivation level increased, he became more and more familiar with this dark world.

"It's very much like the Land of Oblivion."

Lu Yang looked around. This boundless darkness was similar to the space he had been in before anchoring in the Sea of ​​Light, which gave rise to many speculations.

But more importantly, this time is different from before.

Previously, he only had consciousness when he came to this place, but now he can see his hands, feet, and clothes, and he has a complete body.

Is it the effect of opportunities in the human world?

A sudden realization dawned on Lü Yang, and he immediately began to carefully contemplate it. In a daze, he saw once again the extraordinary treasure that he had finally acquired.

In an instant, he felt as if he had exploded into countless fragments, his consciousness expanding infinitely and then being melted back into one. In just this one round, his body seemed to have been polished and refined countless times. If he was a stubborn rock before, he was now a piece of fine steel.

"It's because of the Dao Heart!"

Lü Yang suddenly realized: "As my Dao heart becomes more and more steadfast, and my understanding of my true self becomes clearer, my state in this place will become more and more perfect."

At this point, we've reached the limit.

What use is a perfect Dao heart to a cultivator?

"With my current Dao heart, even without the metal element, if I were to reincarnate in the underworld, I could probably guarantee that my true self would not perish and would not be worn down by reincarnation."

In other words, even if he doesn't choose cultivation level after restarting and returns to the original anchor point with only Qi Refining cultivation, and then commits suicide to reincarnate in the underworld, his memories will not be washed away by the underworld. Instead, he will directly retain his original self-awareness and reincarnate. In a sense, this replaces the role of metal element.

"No, that's not right."

"A more accurate statement would be that the Metal element has replaced the function of the Dao Heart. In fact, with the Metal element, cultivators rarely bother to cultivate the Dao Heart anymore."

Upon realizing this, Lü Yang was instantly terrified:

"Golden nature, Daoist heart."

"Golden nature is a product of the Cave Heaven Method. What does that old codger from the Holy Sect mean by using golden nature to replace the Dao Heart? Is he deliberately trying to prevent people from cultivating the Dao Heart?"

It's not impossible!

After all, he had cultivated for ten lifetimes, but it was only in this lifetime that he truly came into contact with cultivation methods related to the Dao Heart, and that was in a remote, small realm.

Even a system that could be born in a small realm like the Taihuang Realm was nowhere to be found in the dilapidated place of the Immortal Pivot. No matter the Holy Sect, the Dao Court, or the Sword Pavilion, no one could find a cultivation method related to the Dao Heart. Only the Pure Land had a slight hint of it, but it was monopolized by the World Honored One.

The more Lü Yang thought about it, the more outrageous it seemed.

"A colossal pitfall in the Cave Heaven Technique!"

His attitude toward this cultivation method has changed several times, from initial amazement to doubt, and finally to horror.

Thinking hard!
However, after thinking it through, it's not without its benefits.

"If the purpose of the Cave Heaven Technique is to prevent people from breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, then by examining what it targets, we can actually deduce the secret of the Nascent Soul stage."

"The Cave Heaven Technique, with its 'Cave Heaven Never Falls' binding cultivators to their current fruition level, and its metal element preventing them from cultivating their Dao Heart, means that to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, one must either not be deeply bound to a fruition level or possess a strong Dao Heart. Both are probably indispensable, otherwise the Cave Heaven Technique wouldn't be able to target one!"

Thinking of this, Lü Yang's eyes gradually brightened.

"This is my greatest gain in this life! Compared to this, cultivation level is nothing. Knowing where the path is and how to walk it is the most important thing!"

Just then, the Book of a Hundred Generations appeared.

【Please select a new anchor point】 Looking at the panel in front of him, Lü Yang fell into deep thought. According to his previous idea, the best choice would naturally be the third anchor point he had just obtained [Heavenly Fire].

After all, he had already mastered the [Mingdao Jianwo Immortal Technique]. As long as he reopened the third anchor point, he could immediately break through to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm and prevent his cave heaven from collapsing. However, after knowing that there was a problem with the cave heaven technique, Lü Yang gradually developed doubts, and the conversation he had with [Angxiao] before surfaced in his mind.

First, we need to establish a viewpoint.

"【Angxiao】, you can't trust what that old beast from the Holy Sect says. It's possible that nine parts of it is true and one part is false, or nine parts is false and one part is true. If you believe it, you'll probably fall into a trap."

Only after this can a judgment be made:
“When Angxiao was fighting me before, he said that my development of Heavenly Fire was far from sufficient and that I should focus my energy on developing my fruition.”

"Such words, coupled with his record of beating me with [Great Forest Wood], are enough to convince people. In fact, I have indeed considered whether to cultivate my skills in [Heavenly Fire], but the more I think about it, the stranger it becomes. Would someone like [Angxiao] really guide a junior disciple?"

Lü Yang had not forgotten that book, "The Secrets of the Golden Elixir"!

"The more I feel there's no problem, the more tempted I become, the more likely it is that [Angxiao] has set a trap for me. There must be something wrong here!"

"Moreover, [Angxiao] is different from me."

"I was able to discover the problem with the Cave Heaven Technique in advance because I had it activated and had a cheat code, but for him? It won't be so easy for him to find out these secrets."

"According to my guess, when he discovered the problem with the Cave Heaven Technique, his cultivation level should have been quite high. He probably didn't have a chance to pull back from the brink and had already stepped into the pit. That's why he deliberately used words and actions to lure me, trying to mislead me and drag me into the pit too!"

In short: I got caught in the rain back then, so why were you allowed to use an umbrella?

This is truly Angxiao's personality!

"You old beast!"

While cursing under his breath, Lü Yang made a decision: "I won't go to the third anchor point! Besides the problem with the Cave Heaven Technique, the [Heavenly Fire] is also too conspicuous."

From now on, I need to keep a low profile.

"The first anchor point is unacceptable, and we can't go there either."

Since this time I need to choose my cultivation level, if I choose to go to the first anchor point, there won't be any anchor points available if I want to change my route later.

So there is only one answer.

That was the anchor point he set when he first established his foundation, due to his youthful ignorance. At that time, he was still a pure and upright Holy Sect Foundation Establishment cultivator.

It was also repaired using "earth from the city walls".

Thinking about this, Lü Yang even felt a little nostalgic.

"At the time, I thought it was a dead file, but now I think it might not be. It all depends on whether my choice of cultivation level will cover up the foundation of the [City Wall Soil]."

If it can be covered, then everyone will be happy.

Even if he can't, with his current vision and methods, it's not like he has no way to change his Dao foundation. The so-called "one certificate for eternity" is just a perspective from a lower level of cultivation.

The higher your perspective, the more you'll understand that nothing in this world is absolute.

In short, it's worth a try!
With this thought in mind, Lü Yang immediately put aside his concerns and stated his choice to the [Book of a Hundred Lifetimes] panel: "Restart, proceed to the second anchor point!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the darkness before his eyes began to ripple.

It was as if a book had turned to a brand new page, and tiny rays of light emerged from the broken darkness, instantly filling the field of vision.

Like sunlight piercing through the darkness.

[Your decisive suicide left the Buddha somewhat bewildered. He felt something was amiss, and even consulted the records of the Sea of ​​Suffering, but to no avail. In the end, he had no choice but to give up and instead destroyed the "remnant consciousness of the celestial beings." Before his death, Angkor Thom's image kept cursing you.]
