Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 679 The Method to Prove the [City Wall Soil]!

"It's roadside soil!"

When Lü Yang returned to the mortal world, the look of surprise in his eyes had not yet faded, because the moment he saw the [Roadside Soil], he suddenly realized something.

"The person who just noticed my gaze must be Emperor Jiayou."

Lü Yang's expression brightened, and he suddenly understood: 'So that's how it is! The waves in the [Sea of ​​Bitterness] are actually ripples created by individual fruits within the [Sea of ​​Bitterness].'

The stronger the position, the greater the waves.

"Of course, attaining Buddhahood is only one aspect. The Great Dao attained through emptiness should also leave ripples in the Sea of ​​Bitterness; I just didn't notice it just now."

This reminded Lü Yang of the "Remnant Knowledge of Heaven and Man".

To enter the first stage of the [Remnant Consciousness of Heaven and Man], the [Human World], it seems one must gain the ability to open the [Sea of ​​Bitterness]; otherwise, entry is impossible.

This was Lu Yang's personal experience. If he hadn't been able to open the Sea of ​​Bitterness, he would have been stuck in the mortal world. The same was true for the Demon Subduer. He needed the mysterious soul called Dragon Diagram to help him open the Sea of ​​Bitterness so that he could enter the mortal world.

In other words——

In ancient times, perhaps opening the "Sea of ​​Bitterness" was a more fundamental ability, or rather, an ability that a Foundation Establishment cultivator should have mastered.

Lü Yang wasn't just guessing randomly.

'Think about it carefully, a cultivator opens up the Sea of ​​Bitterness, pursues the Dao within it, and will eventually find a certain attainment—isn't that the pursuit of wealth?'

In an instant, Lü Yang had a sudden inspiration.

The next second, he recalled the "Complete Form of Precious Life Scripture" once again. A passage of text that he had previously been unable to see due to his limited cultivation level was now clearly visible:
'Sure enough! '

"Even in ancient times, before the invention of the Cave Heaven Method, opening the [Sea of ​​Bitterness] was a fundamental skill for all those who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage and aspired to obtain gold."

"Only by reaching the level of opening the 'Sea of ​​Bitterness' can one chase the waves that best suit oneself within it, find the most suitable position, and then unite with it, thus achieving the status of a True Lord. Therefore, in that era, True Lords were truly the chosen ones of Heaven!"

After all, opening the "Sea of ​​Bitterness" through foundation building is extremely difficult.

From this perspective, the Cave Heaven Method is undoubtedly more advanced, and the corresponding third-grade true skill allows Foundation Establishment True Persons to lock onto their fruit position without having to follow the path.

But what will be the cost?

'The cultivator's cultivation level has been substantially suppressed!'

Thinking of this, Lü Yang's expression changed slightly, a chill running down his spine:
'In ancient times, even a Foundation Establishment cultivator, who could open the Sea of ​​Bitterness, must have reached an extremely profound level of understanding of the Great Dao.'

"You must understand that is the 'Sea of ​​Bitterness,' an ocean of endless imagery. To pursue the Dao within it, one must have a certain understanding of all imagery. One's cultivation must encompass everything, like the ocean embracing all rivers, only then can one distinguish what is good and what is bad, and thus choose the appropriate path."

But what about now?

"By relying on the Cave Heaven Technique and the cultivation method that directly locks onto the fruit level to seek gold, no other insights are needed; only the cultivation level corresponding to the fruit level is required."

In this way, things are indeed much easier.

Undoubtedly, the potential of cultivators has also been reduced. At least at the same level, the cultivation of the True Monarchs in ancient times far surpasses that of the present era!
Of course, in the initial stage, the boost to combat power from cultivation level is not significant.

Therefore, in terms of combat power, the Cave Heaven Dharma True Lord is definitely stronger. However, the higher the realm, the more important the cultivation level becomes.

That's when the trouble will begin.

"A tall building rises from the ground; if the initial foundation isn't solid, any subsequent improvements will require a thousand times more effort."

But where would the True Lord find so much time?

It's important to understand that a True Monarch in the early stages of the Golden Core realm only has a lifespan of a thousand years! They simply don't have the time to refine themselves and improve their cultivation, which is a fatal flaw.

'Unless...I break through to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm using the Cave Heaven Technique.' With an unbroken Cave Heaven, one is immortal and indestructible, and from then on, there's no need to worry about lifespan; one can focus on improving their cultivation. There's only one minor drawback:

One's own status is bound to the position one attains.

According to [Angxiao], if one breaks through to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm using the Cave Heaven Method, no matter what happens afterward, the chance of breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm will always be only 10%.

"Damn it, this is a series of traps!"

At this moment, Lü Yang was filled with utter admiration for the mastermind behind all of this.

Under this design, the more steadfast one's Dao heart is, and the more one desires to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, the more easily one falls into the trap of the Cave Heaven Technique, and then suffers eternal damnation.

'It must have been that old bastard, the Holy Sect, who did it. What a beast!'

Lu Yang was filled with emotion. It really suited the style of the old immortal of the Holy Sect, emphasizing being silent and making you die without even knowing how you died.

Even so, cultivators all over the world should thank him!
After all, in reality, the emergence of the Cave Heaven Technique and the Third Grade True Skill has indeed greatly increased the number of True Lords, giving many people the opportunity to improve.

For example, 【承天正德真君】.

Thinking of this, Lü Yang suddenly felt a heaviness in his head, and a sense of solemnity washed over him: 'The buried truth of history is practically taboo knowledge!'

"If I hadn't learned from Angxiao that using the Cave Heaven Technique to break through to the mid-stage would affect one's Nascent Soul cultivation path, even if I discovered the secret of the Bitter Sea's pursuit of the Dao, I probably wouldn't have been able to connect it to the Holy Sect's old immortal's scheme. This knowledge probably can't be easily passed on."

If word gets out, it might attract the attention of that old codger from the Holy Sect!

Of course, if used well, it might even be used as a trump card.

Lu Yang gradually gathered his thoughts, no longer daring to pursue the secrets of the Cave Heaven Technique, and instead focused his attention on another equally crucial matter.

“I saw [roadside soil].

"But as far as I know, [Roadside Soil], as a position within the Dao Court, should have been sealed off by the [Immortal Kingdom's Dao Laws] and become the private property of the Dao Court."

His eyes gradually brightened.

'Unless... the [Immortal Realm Laws] only seal the manifestation of one's attainment in the mortal world, while the true essence of that attainment cannot be brought out of the [Sea of ​​Suffering]!'

This is a major discovery!
Because Lü Yang immediately thought of the "soil on the city wall"!

'The unity of the masses that the World Honored One used to seal the [city wall soil] was copied from the Dao Court; its effect should be similar to the [Immortal Kingdom Dao Laws]!'

In other words:
What the Immortal Kingdom's laws cannot seal off, even a united front certainly cannot.

Lu Yang pondered in his heart, trying his best to suppress the excitement in his heart:
Therefore, although the "City Wall Soil" is currently in the Pure Land, if I wish, I can actually find its true form directly within the "Sea of ​​Bitterness"!

That's different!

The Pure Land is a place even a True Monarch cannot enter; even if he succeeded, it would certainly attract worldwide attention. But the Sea of ​​Bitterness is not so particular.

"If I can find the location of the 'City Wall Soil' in the 'Sea of ​​Bitterness,' and then find the 'Remnant Consciousness of Heaven and Man,' I can first send Yuan Tu through the 'Sea of ​​Bitterness' to verify the 'City Wall Soil,' catching him off guard. Once successful, he can immediately escape into the 'Remnant Consciousness of Heaven and Man,' creating a time difference that might catch the World Honored One off guard!"

Of course, this plan is still very rudimentary at present.

After all, Lü Yang had not yet found the exact location of the [City Wall Soil], and he didn't know if the World Honored One had left any powerful backup plans in the [Sea of ​​Bitterness].

But no matter what.

Compared to his previous helplessness against the "City Wall Soil" and the World Honored One, at least this time he has a theoretically feasible action plan!
