Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 801 Choice
Lü Yang knew that this time he had to make a decision.

He wasn't in a hurry. In fact, he hadn't been unaware of the current situation, since the [Precious Life Complete Form Scripture] was a secret to the True Lord.

But what about the Dao Lord?

Back then, the chief priests were all killed by the Holy Ancestor. How could the other Dao Lords not lend a hand? The 【Precious Life Complete Form Scripture】 probably couldn't hide it from them at all.

In other words:
"Whether it's Fuyao or Yuantu, the fact that they are my physical form has probably already been exposed. At most, Yuantu's remnant spirit should be able to hide, since it's just a Dao Lord's lingering remnant spirit. As for Longtu's mere True Monarch's lingering remnant spirit, it's probably already been transformed into his own form by the Sword Pavilion Dao Lord."

Then the problem is coming.

Knowing that the Demon Subduing Immortal was a life form, what exactly did the Sword Pavilion Daoist Master do to be considered a huge pitfall by the [Immortal Pivot Survival Guide]?

Logged in with the account at the top?

'Unlikely. In this life, my Dao Heart is at its peak. Let alone the Sword Pavilion Dao Master taking over, even if the World Honored One came to take over, I would dare to clash with him.'

In short, it is impossible to control his consciousness by modifying his Dao heart. However, the Sword Pavilion Dao Master should also be able to think of this. Moreover, if one really wants to control him, there is no need to obtain his heart; obtaining his body would suffice.

After all, you can't change someone's consciousness, but you can suppress it.

The World-Honored One can enlighten the Buddha's disciples, and the Tathagata, the Sword Pavilion Master, is probably not incapable of doing so either. Wasn't the Demon-Slaying True Man born from a spark of sword spirit?

'First they took my body.'

"Then they'll suppress my consciousness and guide another true spirit to take over. In this way, no matter what achievements I make, it will all be for naught."

Lü Yang sorted out his thoughts.

Ultimately, the probability of the Sword Pavilion Dao Master killing him directly is not high, after all, he is now not only in the Immortal Pivot, but also in the entire Void Sea of ​​Light.

He's at least a notable figure.

Even in the eyes of the Dao Lord, he should be considered a high-quality talent, the kind that can be used but cannot be used casually and must be used sparingly.

Therefore, controlling him is the most reasonable course of action rather than killing him, especially given the current miserable state of Sword Pavilion. In addition to the fall of True Monarch Gangxing Pudao, the cave heavens of the other two True Monarchs are also beginning to collapse. If they cannot find a successor before they are completely destroyed, they will inevitably be buried with him.

Only Cheng Tian Zheng De Zhen Jun is not in any danger.

But that's normal, since he's affiliated with [Angxiao]. A complete slacker actually managed to survive. It just goes to show that being weak has its advantages.

In short, it's unlikely they'll just kill me outright.

Lu Yang's thoughts became clearer and clearer, and a resolute look gradually appeared in his eyes.

Looking back now, the fulfillment of my Dao heart was my greatest gain in my previous life, allowing me to truly gain the power of choice under the intervention of the Dao Lord's will.

'Otherwise, why would the Sword Pavilion Dao Master need to bother? He could just directly modify the Dao Heart and reverse consciousness; I'd be drooling over that. No wonder Dao Heart cultivation methods have almost disappeared throughout the entire Void Sea of ​​Light. Damn it, these Dao Masters pull back the ladder once they've climbed up; they've been planning to bully lower-level cultivators for a long time!'

A multitude of thoughts flashed through Lü Yang's mind.

The temptation to seize the supreme position, and the fact that it might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, plunged him into a brief silence amidst his chaotic thoughts.

However, he ultimately made a decision.

Believe in the Book of a Hundred Generations.

'The "Survival Guide to the Immortal Pivot" determines whether something is a "pitfall" based on my strength. Since it's classified as a "giant pitfall," it means I definitely have no power to resist.'

Give up.

The plan has been revised, and [Sword Edge Gold] has been abandoned.

Greed knows no bounds; if you don't know what pitfalls or troubles you might encounter when trying to acquire [Sword Edge Gold], then it's best not to deliberately step into them.

Otherwise, if it leads to the inability to restart, then we're doomed.

'I lost the bet.' Lü Yang sighed inwardly. Before the battle, he had told Ancestor Tingyou that there was a 40% chance of winning, which was worth the gamble. Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.

He underestimated the importance that the Dao Lord placed on the Supreme Fruit position.

Snatching food from a tiger's mouth is still too difficult for him right now, and the world is far from being gentle enough to ensure that every attempt he makes yields results.

With this thought in mind, Lü Yang took a deep breath and turned to look at the Grand Tutor of the Dao Court on the other side.

In contrast, this one is much more reliable. The "Survival Guide to the Immortal Pivot" suggests: "[A small pitfall, but a seasoned veteran like you can tough it out.]"

The Daoist Master of the Dao Court is an honest man!

Almost simultaneously, he decisively summoned [Heavenly Fire], moved it towards the Grand Tutor of the Dao Court, and loudly proclaimed, "Now, fulfill the deal!"

Before the words were finished, the world, which had already been frozen in place by the gaze of some supreme power and seemed to be weighed down by layers of mountains, shook again. For at that very moment, a second gaze was cast upon them, clashing with the gaze of the Sword Pavilion Master and exchanging blows in the darkness!
Daoist Master of the Dao Court!

The next second, Lü Yang felt that the [Changheng Sword] in his hand had lost control, and the Demon Subduing Master, who had been obedient, also showed malice on his face.

'Judging by his appearance, he might actually have been enlightened by the Sword Pavilion Master!'

Lu Yang was horrified. Although the other party looked malicious, he was powerless to make a move. After all, the Sword Pavilion Dao Master was being held back, and he alone was no match for him.

Immediately afterwards, Lü Yang discovered that the Daoist Grand Tutor's "Immortal Kingdom Dao Laws," which were originally used to bind the "Great Post Station Land," had undergone an unusual change.

The [Immortal Kingdom Dao Laws] have been unlocked.

The invisible chain abandoned [Great Post Station Soil] and instead bound [Heavenly Fire], while simultaneously delivering [Great Post Station Soil] directly to Lü Yang's lips.

What else is there to say?
In the blink of an eye, Lü Yang's eyes turned icy cold as he stood in the gap between the two Dao Lords' invisible clash and instantly completed his operation.

Fire from the sky? No thanks!
The karmic consequences of attaining the Supreme Fruit position are too great, and it's too easy for the Dao Lord to see it as a thorn in his side. It's better to hand it over to the Dao Court in exchange for more benefits.

Grab it and refine it instantly!

Lu Yang acted with lightning speed, immediately beginning to devour the [Great Post Station Land]—almost simultaneously, a third gaze fell upon him, brazenly joining the chaos!

Pure Land, World Honored One!

The immense power of the three Dao Lords collided and surged invisibly, but it no longer affected the present world. Instead, it restored the previously stagnant world to its normal operation.

The Dao Lord's blockade has been broken!
'World Honored One... He actually intervened too? That makes sense. The sword path is now rooted in the Pure Land; it's actually a bargaining chip the World Honored One is using to profit from the Sword Pavilion Master.'

'Of course he doesn't want the Sword Pavilion Dao Master to betray me!'

'After all, if the Sword Pavilion Master succeeds in tricking me and takes control of the Heavenly Fire, he will have his own way to save the Sword Sect without needing to ask the World Honored One for help.'

'Three Dao Lords clashing. No, not necessarily, it could be four. What about that old codger from the Holy Sect? His attitude is probably the same as the Sword Pavilion Dao Lord's—he's also plotting against me. In any case, I'll assume he's involved too. With all the Dao Lords involved, a new balance has been created!'

Every Dao Master is absolutely self-centered.

All those things like factions, alliances, and promises are worthless to a Dao Lord. Among Dao Lords, only interests are truly eternal.

This is my chance!

Suddenly, Lü Yang's heart skipped a beat, because the gazes of the Dao Lords collided with each other, which caused the world that was originally under their control to return to its original state.

To be honest, before this, Lü Yang thought there was no hope and planned to give up on [Sword Edge Gold], abandon all plans, and run away with a [Great Post Station Earth] that was almost a guaranteed win. However, now he saw an opportunity again, a good opportunity to turn the tide and settle for second best!

Thinking of this, Lü Yang immediately activated a talent that he hadn't used in a long time.

Marionettes!
The next second, in the Jiangnan region, two puppets he had manipulated with marionettes exploded, their souls drifting into the underworld.
