Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 785 A Glorious Name
【Huangshi Duiguang Zhenjun】

Upon hearing this title, Lü Yang's first reaction was to ponder its meaning, since the title of True Lord was not given lightly.

Every family has its own customs.

Some True Lords prefer to directly use the imagery of their rank as their title, while others prefer to be more enigmatic, using their titles as riddles.

But whichever it is.

Basically, the title of a True Lord usually implies his origins and is not unrelated. For example, the Water Element True Lord took the title of Fire Element.

However, in Lü Yang's view, "Huangshi Duiguang Zhenjun" was such a strange title, and the strangeness lay in the character "Dui" in the title.

Dui (兑) signifies success and is advantageous in its adherence to principles.

It is firm within and gentle without, and its essence is benefit and integrity. Therefore, it conforms to Heaven and responds to the needs of people. Most importantly, the imagery of this character is actually metal in the Five Elements.

'The True Lord of Heavenly Fire actually includes a character associated with the element of metal in his title, which is clearly abnormal. Furthermore, the addition of the character for "light" after "Dui" makes it even more bizarre. The only interpretation I can deduce is "Dui, but not yet shining," which is not a good omen.'

What is meant by "引兑，未光" (yǐn duì, wèi guāng)?

The character 引 (yǐn) means "to entice" and 兑 (duì) means "joy." As the name suggests, it means to entice others to share in one's own joy, which is not a righteous path.

This is intriguing.

Because honorific titles are symbolic, each True Lord's honorific title cannot be chosen arbitrarily, and its imagery can even influence changes in rank.

'Clearly, he's the True Lord of Heavenly Fire, yet he incorporated the element of metal into his title. Metal and fire clash, constantly eroding each other. Furthermore, he deliberately created the imagery of "Attracting Light, Yet to Shine," which is clearly detrimental to himself. This "True Lord of Radiant Light" doesn't seem like a good person.'

At least it doesn't seem like he's sincere about [Heavenly Fire].

Thinking of this, although Lü Yang's smile remained, a great sense of vigilance had arisen in his heart:
"After entering the state of [Supreme Dao Transformation], my Dao cultivation improved extremely rapidly; otherwise, I might not have been able to see through the secrets behind this title."

As for the Taoist boy's words, he didn't take them seriously at all.

However, outwardly he still showed a sincere expression: "Please speak frankly, senior, I have no recollection whatsoever of this True Lord's title."

"You want to know?"

Upon hearing this, the young Taoist chuckled and said, "That's simple. In the past, our master opened a void portal at Sacred Fire Cliff, leading to a chaotic spacetime secret realm."

"Feixue came from there; you can ask her for details."

"You might find the answer there."

The young Taoist spoke with great sincerity and straightforwardness, without even trying to avoid mentioning the other True Lords, including the Great Sage Mingzhu, and simply stated it directly.

At first glance, it gives people a sense of being upright and aboveboard.

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang also showed surprise and excitement.

However, behind the change in his expression, he felt a chill run from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head, and he had to exert all his strength to keep his expression in check.

"【Fake history】! He's talking about 【fake history】."

Did the Taoist boy lie?

No, the Daoist boy truthfully told Feixue about the chaotic historical secrets and Feixue's origins, even explicitly stating that you could ask Feixue for specific details.

That's all correct.

Lü Yang also believed that if he asked Feixue Zhenjun afterward, she would definitely tell him all the details of the [fake history] without any mistakes or omissions.

There is only one question, or rather, the Taoist boy is hiding only one truth.

"[False History] This is the place where the Buddha attained enlightenment! It's also the very heart of the Buddha's life! This beast sent me there, what kind of conspiracy is he plotting?!"

Lü Yang instantly regained his senses.

The whole "Huangshi Duiguang Zhenjun" thing is utter nonsense. The real key is the "pseudo-history," and everything else is just bait to lure us in!
'To be associated with "pseudo-history" and to have such a bizarre title, that "Huangshi Duiguang Zhenjun" is definitely not normal. Damn it, could it be a pseudonym that the World Honored One used in the Holy Sect? I remember that the World Honored One studied in the Holy Sect for a period of time back then!' If this is true, then the problem is very serious.

'This damned beast claims I am the [Radiant Light True Lord]. If I believe him, will the World Honored One use this to revive within me?'

'No, I don't even need to believe it!'

'Once I enter the "pseudo-history," all someone needs to do is fabricate a possibility that I am the Radiant Lord of the World!'

Just like Hong Tian!

"Isn't this what 'pseudo-history' is all about? Using future possibilities to influence reality. If I actually went, I'd truly become some kind of 'Radiant Lord of the World'!"

Lü Yang frowned deeply. There were bad people within the Holy Sect!
Most importantly, the appearance of this young Taoist likely represents the will of both the Holy Sect's patriarch and the World Honored One, which is what makes Lü Yang most wary.

Two Dao Lords are serving me!
Ultimately, it all comes down to the supreme position!

'My appearance was too abrupt, and I've already seized this important supreme position. The Holy Sect's ancestor, the Dao Lord, won't allow me to remain outside his control.'

Lü Yang, judging others by his own standards, found this to be quite reasonable.

"To be honest, this method is similar to one I encountered in my previous life; it's just a different tactic, but the means are the same."

However, in his previous life he attained the status of an outsider.

This life is based on [pseudo-history].

Of course, this is just my initial guess.

'I know too little about that [Radiant Light True Lord], and it's possible he really was a [Heavenly Fire] True Lord from the Holy Sect in the past.'

But so what?
I can't take the risk if there's even a possibility!
Moreover, unlike in his previous life, this life he has a very simple method to verify whether his guess was true or false.

In the blink of an eye, Lü Yang had sorted out all his thoughts and then looked at the young Daoist boy.

[Survival Guide for Immortal Pivot], activated!

The next second, a subtle golden light, imperceptible to anyone, appeared in his eyes, silently sweeping over the young Taoist before coalescing into a panel.

[A huge scam! Stay away as soon as possible!]

"."

No more running!
Perhaps the previous guesses missed some details, but the result is definitely correct. That damned Taoist boy is definitely trying to trick me!
Or rather, the Dao Lords wanted to trick him!

Lu Yang remained calm, his eyes cold, showing no sign of panic. Rather, after so many lifetimes, he had grown somewhat accustomed to it.

This is the true practice.

The higher you climb, the more likely you are to come into the view of those above you, and the more likely you are to be targeted by them. If you want to go further, you have no choice but to face the challenges head-on!

'However, on the other hand, a direct confrontation is definitely not a wise move.'

'Since the World Honored One and the Holy Ancestor haven't directly descended to the mortal realm to kill me, it means I'm not important enough in their eyes.'

So what I should do now is stall!

'The best course of action is to stall for as long as possible, maximizing gains as much as possible, until it becomes unbearable, at which point we can start over and run away again, just like in my previous life.'

As for [Huangshi Duiguang Zhenjun], although Lü Yang was very curious, and even his intuition told him that this mysterious Zhenjun was likely to have a great connection with the World Honored One's experience of attaining the Nascent Soul stage, the karma was too heavy for him to bear at the moment, so it was better not to investigate for the time being.

After all, what if something is actually found out?

The Buddha's nature is well-known; if it were truly discovered, He would indeed kill someone beyond His own level!

Thinking of this, Lü Yang suddenly felt a sense of boundless freedom.
