Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 711 An Unbreakable Alliance!
After a moment's hesitation, Lü Yang continued, "That being said, Mu Changsheng is hiding very well, and it's probably not convenient for you and me to travel all over the world right now."

I don't need to say anything myself.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will never develop [Celestial Remnant Consciousness] in this lifetime.

As for Angxiao, although he is a bit freer than him, his freedom is probably limited. Or rather, he should be more low-key at the moment.

At this thought, Lü Yang suddenly said:
"Senior, hiding in the underworld and seeking the Nascent Soul with the Five Elements, could it just be a decoy? After all, the chances of success in seeking the Nascent Soul using the Cave Heaven method are at most ten percent."

Upon hearing this, Angxiao immediately raised an eyebrow.

'This person actually knows the secrets of the Cave Heaven Technique? Who told him?'

'Who is he?'

"To be honest, he knows far too much about me; he knows almost all my trump cards. It's rare for someone who isn't a Dao Master to possess such supernatural abilities."

As he was thinking, [Angxiao] suddenly stopped laughing.

'The Dharma Body Path has reappeared, but that's the Nascent Soul Path; how could it reappear so easily? Could this person be the Dao Lord who once held the Dharma Body Path?'

If that's the case, how could he not know the characteristics of the Dharmakaya path?
Could it be that it was intentional?
Upon realizing this, Angxiao was immediately terrified.

Ultimately, he did have doubts about Lü Yang. Lü Yang's performance just now didn't quite match the image he had in mind.

In his eyes, his previous battle with Lü Yang was a peak showdown. Both sides held their own pieces, with the world as their game board. In the end, he was one move behind and Lü Yang won. Although he was angry, he accepted the defeat wholeheartedly and acknowledged that Lü Yang was a formidable opponent.

But now?
Lü Yang was unaware of the characteristics of the Dharma Body Path, inexplicably provoked the old immortal of the Holy Sect, and failed to see through the initial probing footsteps.

How should I put it? I was a bit clumsy.

However, this was completely different from the image of the "opponent" in Angxiao's mind, which puzzled him and left him completely baffled.

But now, he understands.

'A disguise. It's all a disguise!'

"That's right, this person must be the Dao Lord who once wielded the Dharma Body Dao, and has now been resurrected through a contingency plan. He's currently only feigning weakness!"

If not, this explanation doesn't make sense!
Because the other party knows too much information that someone at his level shouldn't know.

'If I'm fooled by his recent performance and underestimate him, I'm bound to make a mistake!'

Angxiao even went further, wondering where his earlier underestimation of the other party came from. Could it have been implanted by the other party?
It's not impossible!

After all, I enjoy doing this kind of thing!

[Angxiao] Judging others by his own standards, the sense of horror in his heart grew stronger, and then his gaze toward Lü Yang became serious and wary again.

At the same time, Lü Yang was also thinking.

Will Angxiao fall for it?

From the very beginning, Lü Yang prepared two aliases for himself: one was Hongyun, and the other was Si Chong, in order to conceal his true identity.

Now, the "Lucky Vest" has been exposed.

It's Si Chong's turn to use his disguise.

This is also the persona that Lü Yang plans to create in front of Ang Xiao: a Dao Lord's remnant spirit who was once killed by the Holy Sect's old immortal and has now been resurrected!

'I also have the qualifications to say that.'

Admittedly, Angxiao possessed a great deal of intelligence, but he was ultimately limited to the Immortal Pivot realm, and there was some information beyond that realm that he might not be aware of.

"Why isn't the senior saying anything?"

Looking at the silent Angxiao, Lü Yang suddenly chuckled and continued, "But even if you don't say it, I can roughly guess some of the truth."

Can you guess?
Ang Xiao's heart grew heavier, yet he still couldn't quite believe it. He did indeed have a backup plan, but even the Holy Sect's patriarch didn't know what it was.
"Empty certificate of enlightenment, right?"

Angxiao's expression froze. If it weren't for the hazy smoke, Lu Yang would probably have seen the slight distortion on his face.

Because he guessed right!

"The attainment of the fruition of emptiness is, to be precise, a great path. Senior has hidden it very well. Could it be that you still think you have escaped the notice of the Holy Sect Master?"

Lü Yang's words weighed heavily on Ang Xiao's heart. Had he not kept it from her?
Angxiao's silence was the best answer. Lü Yang pressed his advantage: "May I ask if you know that the Heavenly Palace that attacked the Immortal Pivot five thousand years ago is now ruled by a Holy Sect True Monarch? The opponent is also a Great True Monarch, and has also attained a Great Dao, all under the orders of a Primordial Saint."

Lü Yang revealed all the information about the Taiyin Immortal Venerable.

[Angxiao] remained silent.

He knew about the Heavenly Palace and had once caught a glimpse of the Taiyin Immortal Venerable, but he never expected that the Taiyin Immortal Venerable would actually attain a fruit position in vain!
'【money】?'

'The Great True Lord of the Taiyin Holy Ancestor, having received the Patriarch's instruction, cultivated the Cave Heaven Method but only attained the fruition in vain. Is the Patriarch intending to use this person to control me?'

At this moment, Angxiao thought about many things.

Before this, he had always believed that he was the most beloved son of the Holy Sect's patriarch, because his inquiry into the Underworld had actually been approved by the Holy Sect's patriarch.

But now, he feels that the love has disappeared.

'What's with this sudden appearance of a Taiyin, who even received the Patriarch's approval to seek the Nascent Soul stage? What is the Patriarch thinking, and what is his purpose?'

Why did he previously believe that the Holy Sect's patriarch was on his side? Because the two sides had communicated before, and the Holy Sect's patriarch had indeed expressed his support. However, he certainly couldn't believe a mere verbal promise. The problem was that his proof of the Underworld was actually beneficial to the Holy Sect's patriarch as well.

The underworld needs a ruler so that the cycle of reincarnation can be complete.

Moreover, he is different from the first Lord of the Underworld. The first Lord of the Underworld was exceptionally talented, and allowing him to prove the Nascent Soul stage would only backfire and shake the entire situation.

But he is different.

Even if he proves himself in the Underworld, he can at most threaten the World Honored One. It is absolutely impossible for him to threaten the Holy Sect's patriarch. On the contrary, he can become a powerful ally.

If that's the case, why shouldn't we support it?

[Angxiao] Using the Holy Sect's mindset to measure the Holy Sect's founder, he felt there was nothing wrong with it, but now, Lü Yang's words made him waver.

For a moment, he couldn't help but feel bitter.

'That's true, I'm ultimately a lower-level student.'

The mindset of the lower-level Holy Sect and that of the Holy Sect's founder may be fundamentally different, which led to my previous misjudgment.

However, Angxiao quickly rallied.

As the saying goes, the Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, and one escapes. Heaven never closes off all paths; even in the most perilous situations, there is always a glimmer of hope!
Thinking of this, he raised his head again and looked at Lü Yang.

At the same time, Lü Yang also looked over at him.

Their eyes met, and they both saw sincerity in each other's eyes.

【Angxiao】made Lü Yang realize his situation, and Lü Yang also turned the tables on 【Angxiao】, making him lose his composure. Only now did they truly stand on equal footing.

They have the same status and the same interests.

This is what an unbreakable alliance looks like!

The next second, [Angxiao] took the initiative to speak: "Mu Changsheng may possess a second [Celestial Remnant Consciousness]. If it is inconvenient for you, I will go find him."

"There is no rush for this matter."

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang bluntly stated, "The Demon-Subduing True Man of the Sword Pavilion also knows the coordinates of this [Remnant Consciousness of Heaven and Man]. He also possesses a remnant consciousness of a True Monarch called [Dragon Diagram], which may contain clues to other [Remnant Consciousness of Heaven and Man]. We must find a way to eliminate it, otherwise neither of us will be safe."

"...There's really such a thing?"

Upon hearing this, Ang Xiao stroked his chin. Finding fault with the Sword Pavilion was something every Holy Sect disciple enjoyed immensely, so he readily nodded.
“Then I will take you in, fellow Daoist.”

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang quickly replied, "That's true, but it should still be some time before the [Human World] opens."

"It doesn't matter."

Angxiao waved his hand: "I've been there. There was a hidden door left back then, so you can go in directly."

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang couldn't help but sigh inwardly: 'Although this inherently evil old beast has prepared so many disgusting backup plans and trump cards.'

'But this backup plan still has its merits.'
