Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 677 Ang Xiao’s uneasiness

The underworld, a place beyond description.
A dark and gloomy palace floated silently beside the vast and boundless river of souls, yet it revealed no sign of life, like a piece of decaying wood that had long since perished.

"Ah."

Suddenly, inside the palace, a figure shrouded in smoke moved slightly. The smoke parted, revealing a pair of eyes filled with surprise.

"Good fortune... has it broken through my barriers of perception?"

"How did you do it?"

The sudden change surprised Angxiao, but he didn't panic. He had so many backup plans for his grand scheme that he could hardly remember them all.

Among them, [Hongyun sees through the barrier of knowledge] was already within his tolerance for error. Rather, it was quite surprising that Hongyun, who once held the power of [Covering the Lamp Fire], only saw through the barrier of knowledge now. It was nothing now, at most it just surprised him a little.

Of course, even so, it is still important to pay attention to it.

Angxiao frowned slightly, lost in thought: "There must be a reason behind this sudden breakthrough in understanding. Is someone helping Hongyun?"

But who can help Hongyun?
[Angxiao] has full confidence in his own intellectual and cognitive biases, especially the one that has deceived the world, which is not just a simple matter of the wondrous fruition.

In order to completely conceal the matter of [Chentu], he staked everything he had, using an enormous ritual, combined with [Great Forest Wood], and even some of his own special methods, to finally achieve the current effect, even deceiving a Great True Lord!

Thinking of this, [Angxiao] immediately became suspicious:
"Could it be that swordsman from the Sword Pavilion? He's only at the late Golden Core stage, but with his limited cultivation, he's barely able to take care of himself, let alone me."

But who else could it be besides [the True Lord of Gangxing Preaching]?

Are there still any late-stage Golden Core cultivators in the Immortal Pivot realm today?

Or is it that woman?

[Angxiao] His mind raced, and he subconsciously thought of the woman he had glimpsed in the Holy Sect five thousand years ago. Her cultivation level should also be in the late Golden Core stage.

"It was that woman's birth that triggered the changes in the [pseudo-history], which led to the emergence of that shrew, Feixue. However, she is definitely not a figure from five thousand years ago; she should come from even earlier. Her temperament is somewhat similar to the first generation of the Patching Heaven Peak Master, but upon closer inspection, she seems to be somewhat different."

[Angxiao] I consider myself to be from the older generation.

In the world today, apart from the four Dao Lords and the old Dragon Lord overseas, he is the oldest Golden Core True Lord, who has existed for tens of thousands of years.

Another late-stage Golden Core cultivator, [Gangxing Preaching True Monarch], didn't even have a fraction of his lifespan.

Even he had never met the four first-generation peak masters.

After all, they were the confidants of the Holy Sect's founder in the past, and they were extremely mysterious, with even their names rarely being passed down. The only certainty was that they were very strong.

This can be seen from the direct lineage techniques of the Four Peaks.

For example, the "True Scripture of Mending the Sky".

This cultivation method directly breaks the ironclad rule that Foundation Establishment cultivators cannot search their souls after sealing their sea of ​​consciousness. By relying on dual cultivation, it opens up a new path and has the ability to search the entire world.

The other three peaks are naturally equally impressive.

"Take myself as an example. I was a disciple of Dan Ding Peak back then, and Dan Ding Peak's 'Complete Secrets of Alchemy' was also the top-level third-grade true skill."

In addition, there is another very important point.

That is, unlike the other three grades of true skills, the skills of the four peaks of the inner sect are universal. In other words, none of them are limited to a single fruition.

This may seem ordinary, but it is actually quite special.

For example, after mastering Lü Yang's "Nine Transformations Dragon Technique," one can only follow the path of "City Wall Soil" to establish a foundation. Exploring other stages would only result in wasted effort and no achievement.

However, the "Heaven-Mending True Scripture" is different. It can be used on the [Pomegranate Wood] path as well as other fruit positions, and is not limited to one place. This universality is the foundation for the continuous inheritance of the four peaks of the inner sect.

Thinking of this, Angxiao's expression became even more serious.

"This matter is of great importance and must be taken seriously."

"If it is indeed related to the first peak master, then it is possible that the ancestor has made new arrangements, but this would likely disrupt my plans."

Undeniably, Hongyun's insight into the variables brought about by the limitations of conventional wisdom made him feel a sense of unease.

Although Angxiao considers himself the patriarch's favorite son, he still feels a little guilty compared to the first peak master who followed the patriarch in conquering the world.

With that in mind, he immediately made a decision:
We can't just ignore it!

Fortunately, he had prepared for similar situations in advance. In order to ensure that he could stay in the underworld and intervene in the mortal world when necessary, he had a lot of backup plans.

Upon realizing this, Angxiao immediately made a hand seal.

Jiangnan, Gantang Road.

The Li family of Ganhai, the only Foundation Establishment cultivator in this small Jiangnan family, suddenly awoke from their seclusion, a strange thought arising in their minds:
'Alas, I should go explore that fragment of a grotto-heaven beneath the sea at Gantang Road!'

"No, that might be dangerous. But that's not right either. My Li family has been rooted in Gantang Road for so many years, what danger could we possibly face? There's no way we could be in danger."

'No problem!'

The moment this thought arose, it immediately crawled all over Xiaohai Zhenren's mind like a poisonous insect, making it difficult for him to suppress. After a brief struggle, he readily accepted the idea.

Soon, he rode a streak of light and landed at the bottom of the Gantang Road seabed. After a few maneuvers, he silently entered the fragment of the underwater cave. This was a fragment of Hongyun's former [Changyao Baoguang Cave], which [Angxiao] had deliberately placed here as bait to lure Hongyun.

Of course, it's useless now.

After all, since Hongyun had already seen through the barrier of knowledge, he must have been clear about the problem with this fragment of the cave and had also recalled the backup plan he had prepared in the past.

In that case, the bait is meaningless.

It's better to use it for something else.

A moment later, Master Xiaohai emerged from the cave, his face no longer showing the initial struggle, but instead displaying a calm smile.

"Not bad"

The next second, he turned around, reached out and beckoned, and directly put all the fragments of the cave into his sleeve, instantly refining them into a piece of jade.

However, when Master Xiaohai unveiled the jade stone, its true form was revealed. It was a jade pot, and at this moment, the mouth of the pot opened like a gluttonous beast, immediately swallowing the seawater of Gantang Road. In just a moment, the entire Gantang Road was absorbed, and the sea port was transformed into a deep valley basin.

As for the Li family, who originally lived here, they were naturally wiped out as well.

After all, looking at the entire Li family of Ganhai, only Xiaohai Zhenren can barely be considered a human being; the rest are just consumables, and consumables naturally need to be used.

But it's just right for this moment.

"Based on the [Changyao Baoguang Cave Heaven], we first collected water from a lake, and then used materials from a family. Finally, we managed to forge something that was barely acceptable."

"From now on, I'll call you 'Gathering the Sea Bright Light Pot'."

After saying this, Xiaohai Zhenren, or rather, Angxiao in disguise, laughed heartily, then put away the treasure and rode away in a streak of light.
