Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 670 Lü Yang's Metal-type Talent!
[Current number of remaining pages in the Hundred Worlds Book: 89]

[Your Dao heart has reached perfection and is nearing a qualitative change.]

[You have been granted refresh privileges. You can select any item in the harvest selection after restarting and refresh it randomly as a new option.]

Holy Ancestor, Mount Luofeng.

Lu Yang opened his eyes, quietly surveyed his surroundings, and took a deep breath, suddenly feeling an unprecedented sense of ease and joy.

"At this point in time, I had only recently broken through to the early stages of Foundation Establishment and was struggling to survive against the Arhat Fulong. Meanwhile, the Peak Master of Butian Peak was also eyeing me covetously, and both the Pure Land and the Dao Court had designs on me, plotting to abduct me. At that time, I felt my situation was extremely precarious."

But looking at it now, it's practically a fishpond!
After gathering his thoughts, Lü Yang immediately looked at the panel of the [Hundred Lifetimes Book], and his eyes lit up slightly when they fell on the newly popped-up [Refresh Permissions] option.

Refresh the selection. Good.

To be honest, Lu Yang had been annoyed with the "Lifespan" option for a long time and had basically never selected it, as it was almost useless to him.

After all, lifespan is mostly about surviving.

However, this wretched place is impossible to survive in, and the higher one's cultivation level, the less one can survive there. On the contrary, when one's cultivation level is low, one can try to find a way to survive.

'I choose to refresh [Lifespan].'

Lu Yang made a decision immediately upon hearing this, and soon he saw the existing characters on the panel of the [Book of a Hundred Generations] begin to change rapidly:
[In your new life, you can choose one of the following gains from your previous life:
1: Treasure.

2: Cultivation.

Three: Exercises.

Four: Give up all gains and randomly awaken a talent based on past life experiences]

Looking at the changed panel, Lü Yang frowned slightly. He hadn't expected to get a cultivation technique in the end, and at first glance, it didn't seem to be of much use.

Under normal circumstances, the "Cultivation" option in the "Book of a Hundred Lifetimes" already includes all the cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities he had acquired in his previous life, so separating it into a separate "Cultivation Techniques" option would seem unnecessary. However, he quickly realized the crux of the problem:

There are exceptions, though.

Lu Yang's thoughts turned slightly to him as he recalled an unexpected gain from his previous life, which was given to him by the World Honored One's avatar in order to force Si Chong's remnant spirit to join forces with him.

The Great Evolution Refining Spirit Technique!
'I definitely wouldn't dare practice this technique. Anything not cleansed by the Book of a Hundred Lifetimes will only be discovered, just like the Nine Transformations Dragon Technique.'

But it is different now.

'If I understand correctly, the [Cultivation Techniques] option that appears after refreshing the [Book of a Hundred Lifetimes] should be able to clear my name of cultivation techniques like this!'

Looking at it this way, it's not bad at all.

However, he definitely won't need it in this life. After all, compared to a mere cultivation technique manual, the results of his hard work in his previous life are more important.

"Boom!"

In an instant, Lü Yang felt an invisible power emerge within his body, and bright radiance appeared one by one in his sea of ​​consciousness.

The Righteous Path Banner! The Tribulation Wave! The Yellow Court!

[The Way of Enlightenment Reveals My Immortal Techniques!]
Vast magical power surged forth, along with the three true treasures and the combined [Seeking the Dao Immortal Technique], instantly filling Lü Yang's entire body.

The only thing missing is [Heavenly Fire].

'Unfortunately, the fruition of enlightenment is not my possession, so I cannot bring it back. Therefore, strictly speaking, my current cultivation level has actually declined.'

After examining himself, a shadow of gloom appeared in Lü Yang's eyes.

As he expected, after losing his grotto-heaven and his position, he was reduced to his original form, and his cultivation as a Golden Core True Monarch vanished into thin air.

'The Grotto-Heaven Method and the Fruition Rank... they're all problems!'

If one's cultivation level drops so easily at the end, what's the point of cultivation? Does losing one's fruition mean that a Golden Core True Monarch is no longer a True Monarch?

'Fortunately, it's not all gone. The [Immortal Technique of Seeing My Path] formed by the three true treasures can still enhance my rank. If I were to calculate it carefully, my current strength should be roughly equivalent to a pseudo-Gold-ranked cultivator. Dealing with heretics is no problem, but dealing with orthodox True Lords would be somewhat difficult.'

Immediately afterwards, Lü Yang began to examine the Zhengdao Flag.

As he had expected, Ancestor Tingyou and True Man Dangmo were unharmed, but Suohuan's cultivation level dropped due to the loss of the [Spring Water].

'However, the situation for the summoner is better than mine.'

'Because his [Huanxu Heaven] is still intact, and his grotto-heaven hasn't collapsed, returning to his original state is just a matter of a thought. Compared to him, I'm no match.' After all, his grotto-heaven has already been used to refine the [Huangting].

Of course, this has both advantages and disadvantages.

The downside is that his cultivation level has dropped. If the [Heavenly Pillar of the Mysterious Cave] were still there, he could instantly regain control of [Heavenly Fire].

The advantage was that he successfully survived.

"The target of 'Heavenly Fire' is simply too great. A supreme position would inevitably attract the attention of the Dao Lord; the experience of my previous life serves as a lesson."

Thinking of this, Lü Yang couldn't help but sigh.

If I hadn't been so conspicuous and performed so well, how could I have been valued by the Holy Ancestor, noticed by the World Honored One, and ended up with endless troubles?

Perhaps this is the destiny of geniuses.

Who can blame me for being so outstanding?
However, at that moment, the panel of the [Book of a Hundred Lifetimes] suddenly lit up:
[A conflict has been detected between your current cultivation level and your previous life's cultivation level. The two are incompatible. Please select from the following options:]

1. Coverage

II: Segmentation
Choosing to overwrite will forcibly overwrite your current cultivation level with your past life's cultivation. Choosing to split will create a special "Dao Body" to carry your past life's cultivation.

'Um? '

Faced with this sudden change, Lü Yang narrowed his eyes, weighing the differences between the options while asking himself, 'What is a Dao Body?'

【The Body of the Dao: The Body That Carries the Dao】

[A cultivator is like a cicada shedding its mortal form, their life's cultivation transforming into a body of pure energy, possessing boundless mysteries, attainable only by those whose Dao heart is perfectly perfected.]

Lu Yang quickly made a decision: he did not intend to alarm anyone in this life, so he had to keep his Dao foundation cultivation of [City Wall Soil].

This is a good opportunity to put it in the open and conceal itself.

With this thought in mind, he immediately silently recited in his heart: 'I choose [splitting].'

"Boom!"

In an instant, Lü Yang felt his mind and spirit shake violently, as if the world had turned upside down. His body suddenly felt light, and then he floated up three feet above his head.

The original body's soul, sea of ​​consciousness, foundation of the Dao, everything in the past, and all kinds of causes and effects were all severed without causing any abnormal fluctuations. In this way, a pure aura rose up, condensed into a shape, and finally transformed into a handsome young man with a dashing appearance and a Daoist robe fluttering in the wind, standing in the air.

What a wonderful experience.

Lu Yang could see clearly that at this moment, the [Dao Body] he had just condensed was actually in control, while his original physical body had become something external.

No, it's not just the physical body.

And the soul!

"The Dao Body, based primarily on the Dao Heart, naturally lacks the concepts of soul and consciousness. My soul is actually the golden essence I refined in my previous life!"

Thinking of this, Lü Yang's eyes lit up.

In his previous life, he achieved the status of a True Monarch through the Cave Heaven Technique, and his soul and spirit became one with the golden nature of the body, without any distinction between them. Naturally, this cultivation level was also brought into this life.

'This just happens to allow the [Book of a Hundred Lifetimes] to settle my metal element!'

He actually had this idea in his previous life, but he didn't do it because he wanted to accumulate experience points and maximize his benefits, and then settle the score after the previous life ended.

Now is the time!
'In my previous life, I even met the true form of the World Honored One. My experiences, if not legendary, were at least epic. I'm sure I'll develop some great talent!'

Without hesitation, Lü Yang immediately had an idea.

The next second, the [Book of a Hundred Lifetimes] pounced on his original body like a hungry tiger, swallowing his soul and metal essence whole.

It wasn't until a moment later that it spat it out again.

Immediately afterwards, Lü Yang saw a golden light burst forth on the panel of the [Hundred Lifetimes Book], its brilliance far surpassing that of the previous golden talent!
[You have awakened the golden talent: Immortal Pivot Survival Guide]

[Cultivation Survival Guide: This is the cultivation world's hotline for avoiding being scammed. Based on years of experience being scammed, we can make a definitive judgment on whether you've been scammed!]

Lü Yang: ".?"
