Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 688 Good Fortune, Could it really be you?
Overseas, on a remote island in the Biyang cultivation world.

'It has started as expected.'

Lu Yang remained calm, looking up at the sky. His aura was extremely restrained, making him appear almost no different from an ordinary person at first glance, though countless thoughts were swirling within his mind.

Mu Changsheng's motive was simple.

Opening the box of [Angxiao] prematurely exposes the secret of Chentu, thereby making [Angxiao] a public enemy and thus increasing one's chances of victory.

—It was all within his expectations.

'Through Mu Changsheng, I exposed part of Angxiao's secrets, making him a target of public criticism, while simultaneously concealing my own existence.'

After all, the decision to open the box [Angxiao] was not made by him, nor was there any prior indication. All the actions were entirely Mu Changsheng's own idea. No matter how you calculate it, you can only calculate Mu Changsheng's cause and effect, and there is nothing else. It is impossible to trace it back to him.

'This is the real mastermind!'

"Fight! Fight! Let them fight until the heavens and earth crumble, forcing Angxiao to reveal more of his trump cards, so I can deliver the final blow."

[Without Heaven] Inside.

Angxiao stood with his hands behind his back, his expression cold, surrounded by a vast ocean of memories.

"The mortal world, a crucible!"

Beyond the vast ocean, Mu Changsheng made hand seals and chanted incantations, immediately triggering changes in the ocean, with countless images frantically flooding into Angxiao's divine soul and thoughts.

These are all Mu Changsheng's own experiences, a summary of his long life, containing moments of ordinariness, passion, anger, sorrow, and despair. Each scene contains intense emotions, which, while merging with the thoughts of [Angxiao]'s soul, also influence his emotions.

Gradually, Angxiao's expression changed.

These images were like sharp blades, precisely cutting through his emotions, erasing his consciousness, and cleansing his very soul.

This is another usage of 【无有天】.

This is also a usage that many people have speculated about: inserting the memories of "Mu Changsheng" into the consciousness of another person, transforming them into another Mu Changsheng.

In his previous lives, Mu Changsheng had never used this method.

It wasn't that he didn't want to use it, but that he couldn't, because his Dao heart didn't support him using it. However, now, Lü Yang has filled the gap in his Dao heart for him.

With the method of possession recorded in the [Zhaomu Sixu Fashu], Mu Changsheng simply gave up on the soul that had been taken away by the Holy Ancestor and instead set his sights on the soul of [Angxiao]. The latter's quality was actually stronger than his own soul, and its future might be even better!
This was certainly partly due to Lü Yang's scheme.

However, Mu Changsheng couldn't say he was particularly resistant. He basically went with the flow, pretended to struggle a few times, and then gave in.

However, Mu Changsheng's expression quickly changed.

He had planned it perfectly: using the innate Dao sins as bait, borrowing the power of [Wu You Tian] to seal it off, and finally cleansing [Ang Xiao]'s soul thoughts.

There were no major problems from beginning to end.

There's only one problem: he underestimated [Angxiao].

Although he believed he had overestimated Angxiao's abilities and greatly overestimated him, his "overestimation" was still far from enough for Angxiao.

"Is the mortal world a test of the heart?"

"Little Doyle!"

Within the endless memories, [Angxiao] slowly spoke, his unparalleled demeanor and strong will giving his voice an immense sense of pressure.

The vast ocean of memories created by [Wu You Tian] is actually quite terrifying. For a Golden Core True Monarch, it might be possible to forcibly endure it by relying on the Golden Nature. However, for cultivators without the Golden Nature of a True Monarch, this ocean of memories is a fatal blow. Once tainted, they may never be able to get rid of it for the rest of their lives.

However, Angxiao was relentless in his advance.

Countless scenes, memories brimming with emotion, he stepped over them with a single stride, his Daoist heart, free from dust and radiant with light, as unshakable as a rock.

What he seeks is the Nascent Soul stage, the Great Dao. All other worldly desires and entanglements are left far behind, utterly insignificant in his path.

Upon seeing this, Mu Changsheng's expression changed slightly. He then changed his hand seals and immediately altered the content of the memory image, which now showed countless difficulties and obstacles.

To be fair, Mu Changsheng, as the Heavenly Emperor's backup plan, had been challenged by True Monarchs of the World who were above him. His path of cultivation could not be described as full of hardships. Now, he was manifesting them one by one to impact Angxiao's soul and thoughts, clearly intending to shake his heart for seeking the Dao.

However, Angxiao remained unmoved.

Those predicaments and despairs that were etched into Mu Changsheng's memory were met with disdain, as if they were nothing more than a bunch of chickens and dogs, which he trampled under his feet.

He even had the energy to chuckle:
"Young man, you've revealed your Dao Heart Cultivation Method. Interesting. Was it given to you by the person behind the scenes? Did you see their face or hear their voice?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Changsheng's heart stirred.

However, before he could even prepare his words to deceive Angxiao, Angxiao shook his head: "No, with his caution, he certainly wouldn't make a mistake."

"You definitely didn't see him."

"Even if I saw it, it was probably a deliberate act to show it to you, to create the illusion that I'm being misled. There's no point in me asking you here."

Mu Changsheng: "."

No, why are you talking like you've been in a long-standing spiritual relationship with that mysterious Holy Sect Master? I'm the one fiercely battling you right now!
Mu Changsheng gritted his teeth and remained silent.

At this moment, he also realized that [Angxiao] had actually reached the level of perfect Dao heart, and his true self was firm and would not be affected by his methods at all.

However—he still won.

"Boom!"

The next second, the sound of rushing water like a torrent rang out outside [Wuyoutian], so powerful that [Angxiao] couldn't help but sigh.

"It's that shrew."

【True Lord Qingcheng Feixue】!
The Chentu Incident involved Chongguang's pursuit of gold, and now that Mu Changsheng has spread the news far and wide, how could Feixue Zhenjun, in his rage, not come to cause trouble?
With True Monarch Feixue interfering, he naturally could no longer continue to entangle with Mu Changsheng.

This was also Mu Changsheng's plan. If he couldn't forcibly seize Angxiao's soul and thoughts, he would drag it out, drag it out until Angxiao gave up on his own initiative!
".Tsk."

[Angxiao] stopped and did not attack the memory scene created by Mu Changsheng, because it was no longer meaningful, as True Monarch Feixue was about to arrive.

If he were given another incense stick, he could kill his way through [Wuyoutian] and destroy Mu Changsheng's consciousness!
Unfortunately, he no longer has the time.

Thinking of this, [Angxiao] nodded and said frankly, "I lost this time. Fellow Daoist's skills are remarkable. Let me win the first round."

He admitted defeat.

Of course, if you really want to talk about it, he could still turn things around, but then the cost and the benefit wouldn't be equal. In comparison, it's better to just admit defeat decisively.

"But next time, it will be my turn to make the plans."

As soon as he finished speaking, Angxiao immediately withdrew his consciousness, leaving his blank soul thoughts to Mu Changsheng, and prepared to close the gates of the underworld.

But before leaving, he glanced at the sky again for no apparent reason.

He had many guesses about the mastermind behind this scheme, but the other party knew him too well, so well that he hadn't even imagined it.

But who could understand him so well?
Generally speaking, people who know him so well are either his close friends or have been badly taken advantage of by him. And the former are mostly badly taken advantage of by him.

Thinking about it——

"Could the so-called mastermind behind this, Hongyun, really be you?"
