Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 786 Dao Struggle
"There's no rush regarding the Time-Space Secret Realm."

Although he had already mentally marked the Daoist boy with a big X, Lu Yang maintained a calm demeanor on the surface: "With a formidable enemy at hand, we can't worry about these things for now."

"Oh."

Upon hearing this, the young Taoist gave Lü Yang a deep look. Seeing his calm demeanor, he remained silent for a moment before nodding slightly: "That's right, this matter is indeed not urgent."

"The world situation has changed drastically. I will be in a state of recovery for a long time to ensure the safety of the mountain gate. If you are interested in the past that you have forgotten, you can ask me at any time. I know you are still wary, but that's alright. Trust can be built over time."

After saying this, the young Taoist priest dispersed his body on his own.

Only the [Tongtian Palace] still stands above the Sacred Fire Cliff, like the sun shining in the sky, yet it remains unnoticed by any cultivator below the Golden Core stage.

Only then did True Lord Flying Snow finally speak:
"Welcome, fellow Daoist."

She smiled charmingly and said, "There have been many strange occurrences in Jiangnan recently. It is estimated that [Angxiao] is currently attaching himself to a grotto-heaven. When he reappears, he will surely be a Great True Lord."

"Therefore, I will also be in seclusion for the next few days."

"Therefore, I can make the decision that all the treasures in the Holy Sect will be fully open to you during this period. You can freely choose any rare treasures you may find."

"I have only one request."

At this point, True Monarch Feixue's smile remained, but her beautiful eyes were filled with frost: "No matter what method I use, I will make Gangxing disappear before the great calamity!"

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang nodded decisively: "That's how it should be."

He certainly wouldn't object.

After all, this is the fundamental interest of both parties in their cooperation.

Or rather, it was precisely because he was Flying Snow True Lord, and precisely because he had already thoroughly understood Flying Snow True Lord's personality, that he dared to cooperate with Flying Snow True Lord.

If True Monarch Feixue and that old ghost Angxiao have the same personality, Lü Yang would never cooperate with her, because he wouldn't be able to be sure if True Monarch Feixue secretly cooperated with Angxiao and Gangxing to sell him out, since he could definitely be sold for a good price.

'True Lord Flying Snow is still reliable.'

'This person has his own principles, and he's clearly at odds with the Sword Pavilion. He also harbors murderous intent towards the True Monarch Gangxing Preaching. This is undoubtedly good news.'

Soon, the True Lords dispersed.

Flying Snow True Monarch created a secret cave dwelling for Lü Yang inside Sacred Fire Cliff, while he himself went into seclusion with Bright Pearl Great Sage and Colorful Silk True Monarch.

On the other side, Lü Yang was naturally not idle either.

After all, it was rare for True Monarch Feixue to take charge and open up all the treasures of the Holy Sect to him, a privilege he had never enjoyed in his dozen or so lifetimes.

How could we not seize such an opportunity?
As for the specific areas for improvement, Lü Yang had already planned them out: 'In the short term, my own strength certainly cannot be improved.'

"Therefore, I should take a different approach and instead enhance the banner spirit within the Righteous Path Banner. This will allow the power of 'Slaying All Evil' to be unleashed even more effectively!"

Through his battle with [Angxiao], Lü Yang saw the enormous potential of the banner spirit combined with [Slay All Evil].

To put it bluntly, if it weren't for Angxiao's overwhelming perception barrier, which wiped out his entire banner spirit sea in one move, he would have been worn down to death!

The answer is quite simple.

'I'll find a way to strengthen the banner spirits, to the point where even [Angxiao] can't wipe them out in one hit. That will definitely become one of my ultimate killing moves!'

Sacred Fire Cliff, [You Shen You Xu Cave Heaven].

The vast, boundless lake is like a bright mirror, where the light and color of heaven and earth blend together, creating a magnificent spectacle.

This place is extremely special. Outside the lake is the world, while inside the lake is a grotto-heaven. The true body of the True Lord Han Guang Fu Tian has always been inside the grotto-heaven and has never stepped outside.

His previous attacks were essentially reflections of this grotto-heaven lake, somewhat like clones, walking in the mortal world in place of Han Guang Fu Tian Zhen Jun's true body. Even if he died, only the reflection would be destroyed, having no effect on his true body. He could be recreated in a little time.

Soon, the void opened up.

The water rippled, and a phantom-like figure strolled over, stepping onto the lake. Then, like ink seeping into the water, it gradually faded and dispersed.

The incarnation returns to its rightful place.

Almost simultaneously, the true form of Han Guang Fu Tian Zhen Jun within the cave opened his eyes, processing the experiences of his avatar during this period, and a solemn expression gradually appeared in his eyes.

A major battle is about to begin.

He saw things clearly and understood perfectly. This time, it was no small skirmish like before, but a battle that would truly determine the future of the Immortal Pivot.

"If the Holy Sect wins, the Immortal Pivot will be led by the Holy Sect. If the Sword Pavilion wins, the Sword Pavilion will be the most respected. Regardless of which sect ultimately prevails, they will undoubtedly reap the greatest benefits from the great calamity of the future. This is no longer a simple contest."

"It is a struggle over the Dao!"

In this situation, everyone will go all out, and no force can stand aside. In other words, the same applies to the Taoist court and the Pure Land!
The Taoist temple and the Pure Land have to choose sides!

Normally it's fine, but when it comes to matters of principle, there's never any talk of swaying between left and right or being neutral. Anyone who dares to be neutral will be the first to be eliminated.

This is the only way to avoid being taken advantage of by others.

Therefore, for both the Holy Sect and the Sword Pavilion, the Pure Land and the Dao Court are both worthy of being won over, and they are also significant bargaining chips in this struggle for Dao.

Thinking of this, a fiery light also appeared in Han Guang Fu Tian Zhen Jun's eyes.

He also supported the goal of killing Gangxing Preaching True Lord, since the position would be vacant if Gangxing Preaching True Lord died.

It should be noted that Sword Pavilion still has two early-stage True Monarchs.

With Gang Xing dead, the two remaining early-stage True Monarchs of the Sword Pavilion who don't want to be buried with him will have to find another ally. At that time, he can try to win them over.

Time flies, years pass.

For a time, the Immortal Pivot, which had been bustling with activity due to Lü Yang's previous mischief, returned to calm, and the Golden Core True Monarchs no longer appeared in the world frequently.

Everything seemed to have returned to normal.

In this situation, even some Foundation Establishment Perfection Grandmasters who had previously been trembling with fear and wished they could hide themselves completely couldn't help but sigh with emotion:

'The Immortal Pivot is so quiet; there's no more battle between Golden Core True Monarchs.'

In the battle between True Lords, even Foundation Establishment True Persons are as insignificant as ants.

In addition, given the tradition of Immortal Pivot challenging those of higher levels, Foundation Establishment True Persons, especially Great True Persons at the peak of Foundation Establishment, undoubtedly feel extremely insecure.

Only those who have experienced turbulent times can truly understand the preciousness of peace.

'Indeed, everything we've done so far has not been in vain, and it will continue to be so from now on. As long as we keep moving forward, the path will continue to extend.'

Soon, another two and a half years passed.

There was still no news from True Monarch Feixue, and there was no movement from Jiangnan either. On the contrary, Lü Yang successfully emerged from seclusion, achieving his goal before going into seclusion.

The new Banner Spirit Sea has been created.
