Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 805 The Sword Pavilion Master's Methods

Lu Yang had long coveted the Heavenly Seed of the [Master of Nourishing Life], since the [Pseudo-Emptiness Certificate] was essentially laying the foundation for his future Emptiness Certificate.

'But... can I go to [Yang Sheng Zhu] now?'

He wasn't worried about encountering problems on the way to the [Master of Nourishment], because this process wouldn't involve entering the mortal world, but rather connecting to the Land of Emptiness and Contemplation.

In the Sea of ​​Light and Darkness, the Land of Darkness is undoubtedly the most mysterious and also the safest place. It is a well-known area that cannot be interfered with. In his previous life, the Land of Darkness played a crucial role in his ability to escape from the clutches of the True Lord of the Righteous Form.

The danger lies with the concept of "nourishing life" itself.

After all, Angxiao knew the coordinates of the Nourishing Life Master, and now that he has returned to the Great True Lord, what if he is waiting there for him to enter?

It's not impossible!

In any case, Lü Yang would not risk his life.

'Let Empress Xiao use an avatar formed from incense and divine power to go in my place. After all, the false certificate only requires cultivation level; my personal presence isn't necessary.'

Having made up his mind, Lü Yang immediately took action.

However, before officially heading there, he planned to conduct a small experiment.

Soon, as the divine power of the incense surged forth and the sandalwood fragrance wafted, the banner spirits combined with each other, and finally, Lü Yang's figure reappeared.

"Let's go and see the real world."

Lu Yang pointed outside. With his deliberate modifications, the aura of the incense clone was now completely different from his own, and its appearance was also vastly different.

In that case, can it go out in my place?

If possible, he might even have a chance to cause trouble by using the power of the incense clone, since this clone can borrow the power of the original body 100%.

However, the moment the incense clone stepped out of [Emperor Ying], an intense sense of crisis swept over his entire body. Looking up at the sky, he vaguely saw a sword hanging above his head, crashing down like a guillotine. The next second, the entire clone was cleaved into pieces.

"Hiss, so ferocious?"

Inside the [Emperor's Chamber], Lü Yang gasped in shock. How long had it been? His incense clone had only just left, less than a fraction of a second!

Then the sword light came down.

Could it be that the Sword Pavilion Dao Master is keeping a close eye on [Emperor Ying] all the time? No, that's impossible. The Dao Master wouldn't have that much free time.

Admittedly, a Nascent Soul Dao Master can cast their gaze upon the mortal world, but this requires consuming their energy. Doing so for something of paramount importance is understandable, but just to kill him? To vent their anger? Lü Yang believed that the Sword Pavilion Dao Master was not that short-sighted.

Besides, ten years have passed!

'I haven't left [Emperor Ying] for ten whole years, yet the Dao Lord can still react so quickly. He's been watching me for ten years? That's absolutely impossible.'

There must be more to the story.

Thinking of this, Lü Yang called out to Empress Xiao.

Don't misunderstand. After the incense offering's clone perished, it needed to be re-circulated. Calling out Empress Xiao was purely to infuse her with magical power and speed up the circulation process.

Three days later.

Lu Yang pushed Empress Xiao aside and looked with satisfaction at the incense clone that had been reactivated: "Go again, this time with a different method."

This time, Lü Yang used the same method he used to create clones. He first severed a clone of the soul, then cut off all causal ties with it, allowing it to develop self-awareness. He then used the [Puppet] to control it, turning it into an existence completely unrelated to himself.

Even the location where Lü Yang arrived was changed.

'Going directly to the Immortal Pivot is too risky. I'll have him land at the Star Palace; there's a Dao Lord there too, it should be safer.'

Soon, the new clone set off.

However, the result was the same as before. As soon as the clone left [Emperor Ying], the sword light immediately followed like a shadow and cut it into pieces with a single sword strike!
"." Inside the [Emperor's Mirror], Lü Yang remained calm and showed no surprise. Instead, he calmed his mind and realized the key point from the moment his clone was killed.

'I see. I'm already dead.'

Ten years ago, the moment the Sword Pavilion Master unleashed a sword strike from the other shore, everything related to "Lu Yang"—his karma, his information—was annihilated.

'I only survived by chance because I hid within the remnants of celestial consciousness. However, in the mortal world, in the 'Sea of ​​Bitterness,' everything about me has been destroyed, and I am deemed 'dead.' Therefore, if I were to leave, under the influence of cause and effect, I would immediately perish.'

This is not murder.

Instead, it is killing cause and effect, killing the future, and from the perspective of cause and effect, it is destined that there will never be another person like itself, thus extinguishing all future possibilities for its own survival.

If it weren't for the [Remnant Consciousness of Heaven and Man] as the "Escaped One," even the Dao Lord would have had difficulty intervening and saving his own life; he would be dead now!

'What a ruthless tactic!'

'This was merely a glance cast from the other side by the Sword Pavilion Master; to him, I'm probably not even worthy of being called an ant.'

Lu Yang swallowed hard, finally recovering his composure. Recalling his act of threatening the Sword Pavilion Master ten years ago, his heart pounded.

To calm his nerves, he quickly pulled Empress Xiao back, whom he had just pushed away.

Three more days passed.

A new incense offering clone was created, but Empress Xiao, who had exhausted herself in a short period of time, was unable to move even a finger.

"Let's stop causing trouble and go to [Health Master]."

Having learned from his previous two experiences, Lü Yang completely suppressed his mischievous intentions in this life. His clone quickly connected with the Void Realm and vanished without a trace.

Fortunately, no sword light fell this time.

Lu Yang's guess was correct; at least the Land of Emptiness was indeed an absolutely safe zone. Soon, he locked onto the coordinates of the [Master of Nourishing Life].

The next second, the clone entered it.

What came into view was the familiar tower-shaped library, with densely packed books and volumes, yet it was completely empty, with not a single person in sight.

“Come out, Senior Angxiao.”

Lu Yang looked around, lit the [Holding Candle] directly, and then enhanced it with [Mysterious Water], pushing the mysteries of [Covering Lamp Fire] to their limit.

For a moment, the firelight was bright.

Wherever the light passed, no shadow could hide, illuminating every corner, but it did not reveal that familiar, hazy figure shrouded in smoke.

[Angxiao] is not here? He didn't keep watch over me?

'No way, if it were me, I would definitely be lying in wait. And what about Angxiao, a cultivator at the Great True Monarch level? I can't even detect him anymore?'

".snort!"

Lu Yang pursed his lips, but he wasn't flustered. Instead, he walked straight to a secluded bookshelf, reached out, and took a book from it.

Of all the buildings in the [Master of Nourishing Life], this bookshelf is the most special, because it contains only wordless books. Only those whose cultivation level is recognized can take down the books and receive a Heavenly Seed for the [False Void Certificate]. Previously, Lü Yang had not been qualified to take the books.

Now it's finally possible.

The next second, without the slightest hesitation, Lü Yang disappeared into the [Master of Nourishing Life] with the book and the Heavenly Seed, returning to the [Emperor Ying].

'Got it!'
