Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 804 The Second Colored Talent!
[Currently settling accounts for the 'Rigid-Form Preaching True Lord' experience.]

[You are a prodigy of the Sword Pavilion, appearing only once every ten thousand years. You spent thirty years building your foundation, five hundred years achieving perfection, and less than a thousand years before your cave-heaven was destroyed. Yet, you were betrayed by the Dao Lord.]

Dense, intricate handwriting appeared on the panel.

Then Lü Yang was stunned, because previously, there was only one talent that could be obtained by settling the gold attribute: [Hundred Lifetimes Book], which determines what is settled.

However, this time, the panel content has changed.

[Since the True Lord of Rigid Form Preaching is in the late stage of Golden Core, and his Golden Nature has completed its first qualitative change, you can choose one of the following talents as your settlement.]

[1. Seeing Truth and Breaking Illusion: In your eyes, everything has flaws; a single sword strike can shatter all illusions!]

[2, Conquering Sword Intent: After being wounded by your sword energy, the opponent will be marked with a Weakness Mark, after which their status will decrease by 30% when they are in your presence.]

[3. The Mysterious Pass and the Divine Refinement of Daoist Arts: Only through countless refinements can steel be forged. The more severely injured and on the verge of death one is, the more powerful one can be forged from the brink of death. The more severe the injury, the more the mysteries used to overcome it will be enhanced when one fully recovers.]

Looking at it, Lü Yang was still somewhat disappointed.

After all, neither [Clearing Truth and Breaking Illusion] nor [Sword Intent to Win] quite matched the value of the talent he had obtained from the Great True Monarch's Gold Attribute settlement.

【Clearing the Truth and Breaking Through Illusions】 is good, but not particularly strong.

As for the [Sword Intent to Conquer the Champion], it's not bad, but since he already has [Slaying All Evil], its effect seems somewhat lacking and inadequate in comparison.

However, when he saw the last one, his expression immediately changed.

"The Mysterious Pass unites the spirit to refine the Daoist arts."

At first glance, the description of this talent is far less clear than the previous two, and its effects are also obscure, but Lü Yang saw through its true use at a glance.

'This is a profound talent used to elevate one's fruition level.'

Very quickly, Lü Yang stood up, because before this, he had never heard of any mysterious method to improve one's fruit rank!

'Is it because of the experiences of the True Lord Gangxing, who suffered greatly from the conflict between his affiliated positions, needing to tirelessly use his own position to suppress and reconcile the conflicting positions? Incredible! He actually managed to develop such an outrageous talent. Old Gang, you deserve to die!'

What? You're still alive?

It's alright, it'll be quick. I'll refine you into a life form in a bit, and once I use you to devour the [Gold in Sand], you'll be pretty much dead.

"Don't worry, considering your contributions in this life, I won't hold a grudge against you for hunting me down!"

After a long while, Lü Yang finally calmed down.

The elevation of one's fruition is profound; what does it mean?
This means that he no longer needs to compete for the supreme position. He can simply choose a promising position and cultivate it into a supreme one!
Without any hesitation, Lü Yang chose the third option.

[You have acquired the Colorful Talent: Mystic Gate Divine Refinement Technique!]

"It really is in color."

The second colored talent is much more effective than talents like "Disciple as Teacher" which are slow to take effect, have many conditions, and are very troublesome to use!
"What's even better is that I'm already severely injured, and the injuries were inflicted by the Sword Pavilion Dao Master, which is perfect for me to use the [Mysterious Pass Divine Refinement Dao Technique]!"

Time flies, and ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside the [Emperor's Palace], looking at the True Lord of the Strong Form who had been refined into a life form, rebuilt his grotto-heaven, and ascended to the golden throne again, Lü Yang nodded in satisfaction.

Then he grabbed it and refined it in an instant.

The entire process was extremely smooth, and there was no need to even leave the [Emperor's Palace], because one could also seek gold and ascend the throne within the [Heavenly Man's Remnant Knowledge].

【Gold in Sands】I've got it!
"Boom!"

In an instant, as the profound mystery of the fourth fruit position was swallowed by Lü Yang, the five elements were now complete, and Lü Yang suddenly felt his body expanding.

Immediately afterwards, his consciousness gradually floated up, as if it had left his body. The gate of the [Sea of ​​Bitterness] opened naturally, and the waters of endless imagery surged. In the dim light, a magnificent path appeared in his eyes, and every second, endless information was poured into his Dao heart.

At this moment, he almost lost control of his body. Just as he was about to drift into the [Sea of ​​Bitterness] and fall into that magnificent avenue, a strong sense of crisis swept over his entire body at the critical moment.

"hiss!"

The next second, Lü Yang quickly regained his senses, his scattered consciousness stabilized again, and his face turned slightly ashen. He then saw the sword light appearing at the edge of the [Sea of ​​Bitterness] before him.

If he had actually gone in just now, he would probably be dead and back in the open by now.

"Ten years. The injuries left by the Sword Pavilion Dao Master have tormented me for ten years, to the point that my perfect Dao Heart has begun to waver, otherwise I would not have been hit."

Lü Yang quickly realized what had just happened.

In short, his progress was too rapid, and he resonated with the Dharma Body Path. Unfortunately, he is currently unable to enter the Sea of ​​Suffering.

"call"

With a deep exhale, Lü Yang quickly regained control of his body, digested the [Gold in Sand], and soon a realization dawned on him.

"Gold in sand is a precious substance hidden within sand; its value increases only because of the person who possesses it."

'No wonder the True Lord of Gangxing Preaching rarely uses the profound mysteries of [Gold in Sand], because this technique is not for killing.'

'It is a wondrous elixir of life!'

Its name is—【Gradually Gaining Momentum】!

'As the name suggests, this is a profound concept that requires enduring hardship to rise above others; the imagery itself has a remarkable effect on nurturing one's potential.'

"As for the True Lord of the Rigid Formation, he was previously crippled due to a conflict in his fruition and forced into hibernation, which was actually another form of nurturing. The reason he was able to lower his rank to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm and unleash the Great True Lord's Sword when necessary was all due to the profound imagery of 'Gold in Sand.'"

Hmm? Wait a minute.

Suddenly, Lü Yang's expression changed: 'The True Lord of Gangxing Preaching survived the conflict of fruition only because of [Gold in Sand].'

What about the Lotus-Hidden-Hidden Bodhisattva?

She now also has the problem of the True Lord of the Rigid Formation, but she does not have the mystery of [Gold in Sand]. How should she resolve the conflict between the positions she holds?
'If this can't be resolved, she'll die!'

'Could she have been unaware of this beforehand?'

'No, it's likely that the True Lord of Gangxing Preaching never intended to tell her that his reason for helping her break through was probably also to use the opportunity to kill her.'

Holy crap, a sword seed!

After a moment of reflection, Lü Yang stood up, and four mysterious elements—gold, water, fire, and earth—appeared on his body, entering his Dharma body in turn, and he closed his eyes.

A moment later, he opened his eyes and slowly spread his palms.

At this moment, within his Dharma body, the heart fire, leading the lung metal, was harmonized by the spleen earth, and finally burst forth from his palm, transforming into a dazzling white light.

"Boom!"

The Dao resounds like thunder!

Despite being a position of the Five Elements, the combination of fire and metal energies at this moment emitted a powerful and majestic yang energy, supreme and vast, illuminating the area around Lü Yang.

The vast thunderous sound reverberated amidst the golden light.

Looking around, one could see golden snakes dancing wildly, and thunderous dragons shooting out continuously from Lü Yang's seven orifices, their movements powerful and unparalleled.

As for Lü Yang, who was wielding lightning, he suddenly exuded a powerful aura, and in a daze, there seemed to be a faint outline of a phantom fruition.

In an instant, he understood:
'Although I've only collected four lines, I might be able to go to the [Master of Nourishment] to obtain a Heavenly Realm Seed and try out the [Pseudo-Void Certificate] first.'
