Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 687 Mu Changsheng's Self-Salvation, Unboxing!
Despite his confidence, Angxiao would not underestimate Mu Changsheng, since he was currently just a wisp of divine soul.

This idea was something he had previously used to manipulate Xiaohai Zhenren.

It will be difficult to increase investment in the short term.

[Angxiao] knew his own situation. His physical body was in the underworld, and his power was limited. This thought was all the interference he could make in the mortal world.

Even so, it's not easy.

Under normal circumstances, he cannot enter or leave the underworld, not even his divine soul can be probing out. The fact that he was able to send out a wisp of it is due to arrangements made many years ago.

Of course, if he were willing to pay any price and directly take out the [Body Beyond Worldly Laws] and throw it into the mortal world, then there would be no restrictions from his divine soul or thoughts. However, the [Body Beyond Worldly Laws] is his ultimate trump card, and using it here is like using a cannon to kill a mosquito—a completely meaningless act.

'The best course of action now is to strengthen one's spiritual will.'

So how can we enhance it?

The method is quite simple: just open a channel that connects to the underworld, allowing your physical body to strengthen your divine sense through the underworld.

Upon realizing this, Angxiao made a decisive decision.

"Boom!"

He blew up the "Gathering the Sea" teapot.

This superior spiritual treasure was forged by him using fragments of the auspicious 【Changyao Baoguang Cave Heaven】, but its significance goes beyond being merely a superior spiritual treasure.

The important thing is the fragments of the cave.

As bait prepared to lure good fortune back then, this fragment of the cave originally contained a meticulously crafted portal to the underworld.

It was precisely to preserve this gateway that he went to great lengths to transform the fragments of the cave into the superior spiritual treasure, the "Gathering the Sea Bright Light Pot," after possessing the body of the Howling Sea Immortal. His aim was to be able to reopen the gates of the underworld by blasting open this spiritual treasure when necessary.

'What a pity to waste such a precious treasure.'

'Originally, I planned to grant that Yuan Tu's wish, willingly allowing myself to be killed by him, and incidentally deliver the [Sea-Catching Bright Light Pot] to him to gather intelligence.'

This is a habitual move.

After all, most people would think that a mere magical treasure is something they would use once they obtained it, that it was their own good fortune, and few would suspect that there was anything wrong with it.

The fact that the [Bright Light Pot] contains fragments of a celestial realm means that he can not only monitor Yuan Tu through this spiritual treasure, but also influence him in secret with the knowledge barrier. He can even appear directly next to Yuan Tu when necessary, and then grab him and refine him instantly.

They are incredibly insidious.

Of course, now that the [Gathering the Sea Bright Light Pot] has exploded, all of his previous schemes have come to naught. Although [Angxiao] felt regretful, he didn't care too much.

After all, his attitude towards Yuan Tu has changed compared to before. He no longer thinks that he will protect the people that Hong Yun wants to kill, but plans to eliminate them completely!

'Fine.'

In the blink of an eye, as the [Bright Light Pot of the Sea-Catching] exploded and the gates of the underworld opened, the vast divine consciousness of [Angxiao]'s true form surged forth!

His method of dealing with Mu Changsheng's possession was incredibly simple.

You want to possess my body? I'll let you possess my body. One time isn't enough, I'll give you a thousand, ten thousand times. Let's see if you can possess me, or if I can crush you!

In other words, it's pure power!
After all, my cultivation level is higher than yours, so why bother with any clever tricks? I can just overwhelm you with my overwhelming power. Our Holy Sect loves challenging those above us!
Fortunately, this was within Mu Changsheng's expectations.

"[Angxiao] That Supreme Being already informed me of the situation; a late-stage Golden Core Grand True Monarch—with such strength, I can no longer afford to hide anything."

Why would you want to possess Angxiao's soul?

The answer is simple: the method of seizing a soul originated from the "Zhaomu Sixu Fashu" given to him by Lü Yang, which was an obvious instruction. Moreover, it was indeed a way out.

Mu Changsheng felt heavy-hearted, yet he understood the situation perfectly.

At this moment, apart from the path that Lü Yang had planned for him long ago—the thought of seizing [Angxiao]'s soul—he had nowhere else to go.

'At least the mysterious Holy Sect True Lord also wants to deal with Angxiao. If I fight Angxiao, I can still get his support. But if I stay out of it and don't fight Angxiao, I'll be useless to him. Given the Holy Sect True Lord's style, I'll surely die!'

As for seeking refuge with [Ang Xiao]?
Stop joking. What do you have that would make a late-stage Golden Core Grandmaster like yourself even notice you? [Wu You Tian]? You'd probably just make him laugh.

The key to seeking refuge is that one is useful.

Since he was useful to that mysterious Holy Sect True Lord but useless to [Angxiao], grasping this core contradiction made making a choice easier.

In this respect, if Mu Changsheng knew Lü Yang's true identity, he might still have ulterior motives.

However, Lü Yang was very careful in this regard, shrouding himself in light from beginning to end, and changing his voice, so that Mu Changsheng did not get any clues.

So he had no choice.

"Banner is coming!"

In an instant, Mu Changsheng's consciousness fluctuated, almost instantly alerting Yuan Tu, who had already escaped thousands of miles away. His storage bag was opened by a beam of precious light.

Amidst the precious light, the Banner of Myriad Spirits appeared.

"Someone is calling him."

At this moment, Si Chong had already returned the body to Yuan Tu and said, feigning weakness, "Let go, give it to him. We need someone to buy us some time."

Yuan Tu looked reluctant upon hearing this, but out of trust in Si Chong and the decisive character he inherited from Lü Yang, he finally let go, allowing the Myriad Spirit Banner to transform into a beam of light and fly away, breaking through the void and arriving beside the Innate Daoist in the blink of an eye.

"combine!"

Under Mu Changsheng's influence, the Myriad Spirits Banner immediately merged with the Innate Dao Abyss, and then the imagery of [Long Flowing Water] began to frantically pour into the banner!
At the same time, Mu Changsheng also formed a hand seal and chanted:
“When the false becomes true, the true is also false, and there is something inaction and nothingness.”

The faint sound of incantations echoed, and the seemingly real yet illusory secret realm expanded, spreading to the five regions of the world.

The [Wu You Tian] has been born!

At the same time, with the completion of [Wu You Tian], the appearance of an external path fruit also reversed the suppression of Mu Changsheng by [Ang Xiao]'s divine soul thoughts.

They even launched a counterattack!
The [Wu You Tian] seal actually locked down Ang Xiao's enhanced divine soul and thoughts.

'So many divine thoughts, and they even originated from a Grand True Monarch in the late Golden Core stage! If I can seize their bodies, I can use them to forge a new, useful body!'

This was Mu Changsheng's desperate gamble.

It's done; there's still a chance.

No, I'll just die!
In order to increase his chances of victory, Mu Changsheng's voice, carried by the [Boundless Heaven], resounded from overseas and spread throughout the five regions of the world along with the [Boundless Heaven]:

"[Angxiao] has already reversed the Chen Earth, perfected the Five Elements and reached the late Golden Core stage, with the Nascent Soul stage in sight!"

Upon hearing this, Angxiao's expression changed slightly.

His box was opened!
