Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 723 We're the best of friends in the world!

The Star Palace, the Azure Dragon constellation.

The head of the Zhu Xuan clan was inspecting the clan's treasury when he suddenly saw a beam of light fly by. It was a letter sent by teleportation. He took it and glanced at it.

Then he froze, as if in disbelief.

In an instant, the star where Zhu Xuanshi was located began to tremble slightly, and the vast magical power seemed to be about to surge out like a monstrous wave.

However, all the strange phenomena quickly subsided.

The head of the Zhu Xuan clan took a deep breath, then used his divine sense to look in the direction of the [Horned Dragon], only to see that the star map had also dimmed.

Now that things have come to this, he naturally understands that the information he received was correct. Both Zhu Xuanhao, the most noble bloodline of their Zhu Xuan clan, and [Dou Sha Qinghe Xingjun] have died and disappeared, apparently both perished in [Tianren Canshi], which is clearly a problem!

"This matter must be reported to the Star Palace."

Upon realizing this, the head of the Zhu Xuan family immediately stood up, but stopped abruptly just before setting off, his mind racing as he thought of something more important:

'【Dou Sha Qinghe Xingjun】is dead, 【Jiao Mu Jiao】is vacant.'

'In that case, with [Jiaomu Jiao] left unprotected, isn't this the perfect opportunity for my Zhu Xuan clan to seize control and bring it completely under our family's control?'

Looking at it this way, it's good that he died!

Two star lords are nothing special in other people's eyes, but in his eyes they are just so-so, and he can choose someone else to replace them at any time.

Even if it's Zhu Xuanhao, although there really is no one left to replace him in this generation, the population of the Zhu Xuan clan is still there. The most valuable bloodline of this generation is dead, so we'll just wait for the next generation. One of the valuable lessons we learned from that wretched place, Xian Shu, is that people have always been the least valuable!
Besides, it was only the Star Lord who died!

"Star Lord, Star Lord, compared to before, you've finally changed your name. You no longer deserve the title of 'True Lord.' A single word can make all the difference!"

With this in mind, the head of the Zhu Xuan family immediately took action.

"Come, follow me to [Horned Dragon]!"

Previously, [Dou Sha Qinghe Xingjun] came to my place to take kickbacks, so now he shouldn't blame me for taking his ill-gotten gains in return. The struggle between the star palaces has always been like this!
[Remnant Knowledge of Celestials], the Supreme Emperor Realm.

Lu Yang opened his eyes, his gaze seemingly flashing with lightning, and looked towards the distant sky, grinning: 'That old beast has managed to stay far away this time.'

Ultimately, he came out on top this time.

Otherwise, given the gap between him and Angxiao, Angxiao would definitely take the lion's share in the end, while he would take a smaller share, or even whether he would get any at all would depend on the situation.

However, the result was that the two sides split the spoils. Angxiao even translated four ancient scriptures for him. Now, because he was injured by Jie Sha Xuan Guang and will not recover for a while, he dared not stay in the same place with him anymore. He chose to go far away to the outside world and hide away, which can be regarded as taking the initiative to back down.

'And I've hidden a treasure.'

Lu Yang lightly flicked his sleeve, activated his divine sense, examined the jade stone hidden in his sleeve, and quickly calculated its specific effects.

'【Horned Wood Heavenly Gate Star Core】?'

Lu Yang stroked his chin. Since he had decided to keep this thing to himself, he had naturally already secretly tested it with the [Immortal Pivot Survival Guide].

The result was [no pitfalls].

Otherwise, he would have used the guise of a transaction to transfer the item to Angxiao just now; why would he have kept it for himself and caused himself trouble?

'This is a superior Dharmakaya embryo.'

'It's exceptional for refining the [Life Form Body], but its drawback is that it requires re-cultivation and being sent into the mortal world for training, which can easily take hundreds of years.'

Of course, there are also simpler usages.

'【Sword's Edge Gold】!'

'I have now inherited the Dao foundation and supernatural powers of the Demon-Subduing Immortal. If I use this as a foundation, perhaps I can find a way to create another [Life Form Body].'

Lu Yang figured that given his current situation, it was impossible for him to leave the [Remnant Consciousness of Heaven and Man]. In this case, a new [Life Form Body] would be very useful, not to mention that he was cultivating the Supreme Fruit. If he could use this to devour [Sword Edge Gold], it would be much more profitable than [Covering Lamp Fire]!

'But no rush!'

After a moment's thought, he snapped his fingers and took out the four jade slips that had just been translated by [Angxiao]. These were ancient scriptures collected by the Star Palace.

In this respect, [Fighting and Killing Qinghe Star Lord] still played a little trick.

He did not bring any ancient methods involving the secrets of the Star Palace. None of the four jade slips were ancient methods that directly pointed to [magical power]; instead, they were all spells.

Spells are one of the three fundamental elements of a cultivator's foundation.

'These four jade slips all contain techniques used by the ancient True Monarchs before the Cave Heaven Technique; these were the methods the ancient True Monarchs used in their battles.'

The True Lord of the Cave Heaven, in his magical duels, uses the level of one's attainment as the standard.

It's either an image of a fruition or a profound mystery of a fruition. Even if there are techniques involved, the supernatural aspects are quite superficial, and there are rarely any truly powerful supernatural abilities.

However, the Ancient True Lord was not like that. 'Ancient cultivation involves absorbing and converting established positions for one's own use; naturally, one wouldn't rely on the power of those positions, but rather use them to complement one's own supernatural abilities.'

After a brief reading, Lü Yang quickly came up with a plan.

"So-called 'magic arts' are supernatural abilities created by using rare treasures, elixirs, souls, and other external objects, and then refining them through extraordinary means."

"To refine a [spell], a Golden Core True Monarch must entrust their life to it, along with numerous external aids, and it takes a very long time to refine. However, once refined, it immediately possesses immense power. If refined to a sufficiently high level, it can even kill a True Monarch of the same rank!"

At first, Lü Yang was somewhat delighted.

After all, if magic could truly kill a True Monarch of the same level, it would be of great help to him.

However, he soon frowned and understood why [Fighting and Killing Qinghe Star Lord] was willing to use the spell, which was so powerful.

'Without external materials, it cannot be refined'

The four jade slips given by [Fighting and Killing Qinghe Star Lord] contain four [techniques] that are all secret transmissions of the Star Palace. Only the Star Palace has the external materials needed for their refinement.

In the end, only one of the four spells was usable.

'【Great Powerful Spiritual Kui Gang Righteous Qi】'

'To refine this [spell], one must use the soul of a True Lord as the external object, and it will take forty-nine years to initially complete its refinement.'

Lu Yang pondered for a moment, then summoned the Righteous Path Banner.

Soon, amidst the rolling purple aura, two souls emerged, namely [Dou Sha Qinghe Xingjun] and Zhu Xuanhao, whom he had casually refined earlier.

However, looking at them, Lü Yang frowned deeply:

It actually fell.

Unlike the Immortal Pivot True Lord who possesses the metal element, others, whether from the Heavenly Palace or the Star Palace, lose their connection with their rank after death, and their soul's status will decline.

'Judging from this, the pitfalls of the Star Palace Cultivation Method are probably quite significant!'

Thinking about this, Lü Yang suddenly felt it was a bit absurd, because according to this, the Cave Heaven Method and the Immortal Pivot True Monarch were actually the most valuable!
So, the Holy Ancestor was actually a good person?

"Ha ha!"

Lü Yang couldn't help but laugh.

However, he quickly suppressed his smile, because without a true True Monarch's soul, he couldn't refine [spells], which put him in a difficult position.

However, just as Lü Yang was frowning in worry.

Outside the Taihuang Realm, a streak of light suddenly flew by and then transformed into a jade box, which landed in front of Lü Yang. A seal appeared on the box.

Immediately afterwards, Angxiao's voice came:
“I suspect that you are currently lacking this item. If you wish to obtain it, please exchange all the [Sun and Moon Essence] you possess with me.”

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang raised his eyebrows slightly. He was in the prime of his youth, and the life-extending substance like the Sun and Moon Elixir was useless to him, so he didn't mind trading it.

The question is, what price did Angxiao offer?

Thinking of this, he immediately looked at the jade box in front of him, his eyes shining. Soon, the object inside the box appeared, which was a soul.

The soul of the Bodhisattva of the Coiled Dragon and Snake!

living!
'Holy shit.'

In an instant, Lü Yang was greatly alarmed: 'He retrieved the [Dragon and Snake Coiling Shadow Bodhisattva]? No wonder he was still trapped in the [Remnant Consciousness of Heaven and Man]!'

But the next second, Lü Yang put aside his concerns.

Although he is a heretical True Lord, he is still a True Lord. His soul can be used!
"make a deal!"

Lu Yang immediately took out the two drops of [Sun and Moon Mystic Elixir] from his hand, raised his hand and sent a beam of spiritual light into the sky, then quickly put the jade box into his pocket.

This true lord's soul truly saved me from my immediate crisis.

Admittedly, although one needs to be wary of the other party turning against them at any time, [Angxiao] is still quite reliable when there is no conflict of interest.

Although our alliance broke down before, the past is the past. We're still the best of friends in the world!

Don't worry, once I've refined the [Great Mighty Spiritual Qi], I'll use you as the first target to test my skills!

　That's three chapters for today, so I owe you one.

　　Come to think of it, I always end up owing money after I've settled all my debts.
