Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 750 The True Obstacle of Knowledge!

At that moment, time seemed to stand still.

Lu Yang stood quietly in place, with the Old Dragon Lord on his left, [Gangxing Preaching True Lord] in front of him, and [Angxiao] behind him, he was surrounded by enemies on all sides.

Almost simultaneously, countless illusions were shattered.

Some extremely obvious key points that had been hidden and subconsciously ignored by Lü Yang were now fully awakened, turning into a torrent of thoughts.

However, it came at a very inopportune time.

Because at this moment, it is a matter of life and death, and a sudden realization at this time is not only too late, but may even interfere with his decision between life and death!
But Lü Yang was unable to suppress it.

It's like a flood suddenly bursting its banks; thoughts, no longer concealed by any obscuring barrier, are finally unleashed, an irreversible process in itself.

'That was a brilliant plan.'

At this moment, even as the one being schemed against, Lü Yang couldn't help but sigh in admiration, because this was not a hastily arranged trap.

From the very beginning, [Angxiao] was already making plans!
'Because there's one issue I've consistently ignored, and even a similar thought hasn't lingered in my mind.'

That's the state of [Covering Lamp Fire]!
Yes, he did indeed devour the [Covering Lamp Fire], but what happened after that? Did the fruition collapse, or did the profound mystery of the fruition simply disappear?
'I never thought about this question from beginning to end.'

'Or rather, I assumed from the beginning that the position of Buddhahood had already been destroyed and no longer existed. That's why I believed there was no fundamental conflict with [Angxiao].'

After all, the position is gone, and the die is cast. What can Angxiao do now?
But is it really so?

Now Lü Yang had his answer: 'The status of [Covering Lamp Fire] still exists! It's just that I've absorbed all the profound imagery; the status itself hasn't disappeared!'

In other words:
'If you kill me, or put me into the now empty [Covering Lamp Fire], there's a high chance you can revive it!'

But what would happen if [Fu Deng Huo] were to revive?

'【White Wax Gold】. The Sword Pavilion's Evil-Repelling Immortal failed in his quest for gold, and Mu Changsheng turned to prove 【No Heaven】, so 【Long Flowing Water】 remains suspended in the air.'

'Neither of the two paths to Pure Land can be proven.'

'In this situation, once [Covering Lamp Fire] revives, the good fortune will be gone again, and [Angxiao] can completely reverse the Chen Earth again and return to the position of Great True Lord!'

This single piece of information led Lü Yang to determine Angxiao's stance: there was never any possibility of the two sides joining forces; it was an absolute fight to the death! Their previous collaborations and subsequent falling out were merely tactics used to confuse his judgment!
'It's that same obstacle of perception again.'

Lü Yang sighed inwardly, recalling a question that had involuntarily arisen in his mind when he saw the Old Dragon King being affected by Angxiao's perception barrier:
'If I hadn't mastered the profound mysteries of the [Covering Lamp Fire], which is extremely targeted, wouldn't [Soaring Sky] have been able to easily influence my judgment?'

As it turns out, he was being too optimistic.

Even with the mysteries of [Covering Lamp Fire], [Angxiao] can still influence his judgment on matters! Perhaps not much, but it still has an impact!
And [Angxiao] doesn't need to hide too much.

A single word, a single thought, a single piece of information can overturn a person's entire judgment; this is the kind of skill that uses minimal effort to achieve maximum effect!

And it's not just that.

'Why are both the Primordial Monk Gangxing and the Old Dragon King attacking me?'

'The reason should lie in the fact that Angxiao took the initiative to impersonate Gangxing. No wonder I felt something was off at the time, but didn't think about it further.'

A constant stream of thoughts and realizations crowded out Lü Yang's mind.

'During that meeting, Angxiao deliberately let the old Dragon King discover a flaw, but the flaw wasn't in his perception, because I was also present at the time.'

If there are flaws in one's perceptions, it's impossible for one not to notice them.

'The real flaw isn't in some mysterious way, but in the simplest of words: [Angxiao] proactively suggested that the Old Dragon Lord focus his attention on Feixue!'

"This isn't a reasonable option, True Lord Feixue? He's a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, his celestial realm hasn't fallen. What's the use of targeting him? As long as he can escape the [Master of Nourishing Life] and receive the Netherworld's guidance, resurrection is just a thought away. Compared to him, I'm the easier one to kill!" "After all, I'm an ancient Golden Core cultivator."

'Although I have high HP and am not easy to kill, once I die, I'm truly dead. Given their overwhelming strength, they should kill me no matter what!'

"Given the cultivation level of the 'Rigid Form Preaching True Lord,' the very act of making this request, knowing that I have cultivated the Dharma Body Path, is a huge flaw in itself."

'I realized something was wrong then too.'

'But in the end, Ang Xiao still fooled me. Damn it, how many illusions did that old devil put on me? I didn't even realize it!'

This also shows that Angxiao actually began to conceal his true abilities from the very beginning, and did not push his perception barrier to its limit. He also hid his killing intent very well until the very last moment, when he used the pretext of ambush to kill Gangxing Pudao Zhenjun to devise this scheme!

He doesn't care about any "health regimen" at all!
'Looking back now, it's absurd that I didn't notice that. Right, the [Nourishing Life Master] is actually completely useless for [Angxiao]!'

Empty certificate? [Angxiao] There's a high chance it exists.

The book of supreme fruition? The Great Forest Wood had been handled by him for tens of thousands of years, and had long since taken on his shape inside and out. Why would it need such a thing?
'I didn't even think of that.'

Why couldn't you think of that?

It's quite simple. From the very beginning, Angxiao showed interest in Tianren Canshi, and the cooperation between the two parties started from this point.

Based on this, with just a little bit of intellectual bias, one can easily deceive oneself.

The same method was also used on the Old Dragon Lord and the [Gangxing Preaching True Lord].

'Old Dragon Lord is also cunning. He remained silent after discovering the flaw, and probably contacted the real [True Lord of Firm Form Preaching] afterwards.'

'I hadn't considered that Old Dragon Lord would take the initiative to contact Gangxing.'

'And once the Old Dragon Lord contacts the true [Solid Form Preaching True Lord], it's only natural that he will revise his plans and set his sights on me.'

With minimal effort, they set up a trap to kill him right in front of him!

This is the real obstacle of perception!
It's not just about the ultimate application of the profound, but also about the control over people's hearts. The so-called obstacle of perception is both the profoundness of the attainment and the style of [Angxiao]!

Thinking about this, Lü Yang felt a headache coming on.

'I've had far too much contact with [Angxiao]!'

This level of intellectual and visual barrier is probably not something that happens overnight, but rather the result of the two people spending a long time together!
'No wonder that inherently evil old ghost has no fellow cultivators.'

'Those who were his fellow Daoists back then have probably all been secretly burdened with a massive amount of preconceived notions by him; they are all potential targets for his betrayal!'

Lü Yang finally figured out what was going on.

This period of time was not long, less than a moment, but in that moment, his situation was already several times more dangerous than at the beginning.

Before him, the sword light of [Gangxing Preaching True Lord] had already touched his brow.

On the left, the old dragon king's magic had already reached his arm.

Behind him, Angxiao's hand had already dug into his skin, penetrating deep into his flesh, and he was just a hair's breadth away from having another heart-to-heart conversation with him.

This clearly exceeds the damage-bearing capacity of the [Rebirth Form].

Dead end!

Desperate situation!
