Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 833 The Secret of the Mystic Realm
Lü Yang suddenly opened his eyes.

What one sees is a scene of utter devastation. The rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth has even transformed into spiritual water, with drops falling from the sky, carrying a refreshing fragrance.

Three inches above his fingertips, the [Divine Firmament Thunder] floated silently. Its quality and status remained unchanged. However, Lü Yang could clearly sense that this external path fruit was now completely embedded in the Xuanling Realm, capable of having a huge impact on the Xuanling Realm in an instant.

'The attainment of enlightenment is profound and sublime.'

The thought subconsciously surfaced in Lü Yang's mind. Indeed, in his view, his current state and that of the Xuanling Realm were similar to the profound sublimation of his fruit position.

It's just a bit smaller in scale.

True spiritual attainment and profound sublimation can be achieved through the special position of the Immortal Pivot, which can influence the entire Sea of ​​Illusory Light, thereby achieving a profound qualitative change in spiritual attainment.

However, this is currently limited to the Xuanling Realm.

'Of course, it does have some effect, at least within the Xuanling Realm. Local heretical True Monarchs might actually be able to go toe-to-toe with orthodox True Monarchs.'

"crash"

Lu Yang shook his sleeves and absorbed the [Divine Firmament Thunder] into his sea of ​​consciousness. Finally, it transformed into a golden Dao pattern that adorned his brow, faintly revealing five-colored radiance.

The next second, he suddenly raised his head and saw the mountains and rivers beneath his feet, and the sun and moon above his head changing in an instant. Suddenly, a young man in magnificent clothes walked out in front of him, wearing an imperial crown, with a solemn gaze and nine dazzling halos hanging behind his head. His gaze was fixed on him.

"Who are you?"

The Supreme Being of the Mysterious Spirit Realm, with a cold expression and a gloomy tone, said, "I have never heard of a celestial being like you in the Heavenly Court. Are you an outsider?"

"Fellow Taoist misunderstood."

Lu Yang waved his hand: "I ascended from the lower realm and had quite a bit of luck, which is why I searched for a treasure land in the Heavenly Realm and proved my second Supreme Position."

".What?"

Even the Supreme Being of the Xuanling Realm was stunned. It took him a while to react, and he looked surprised and doubtful: "You mean you've attained a fruition in vain?"

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised. He had been prepared to explain in detail to the other party, but he hadn't expected that this unorthodox country bumpkin would actually know about the concept of emptiness? That didn't seem right; someone of unorthodox knowledge shouldn't know this term.

Despite saying this, he remained expressionless and instead smiled:
"Emptiness is proof? That description is not wrong. I did indeed prove it from nothingness. From now on, we are like-minded people, and I hope you will give me more guidance."

After saying this, Lü Yang cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

The Supreme Being of the Xuanling Realm was even more puzzled upon hearing this. He focused all his attention and carefully examined Lü Yang, his brows immediately furrowing.

'Am I really that unlucky?'

'Kong Zheng. This country bumpkin from the lower realms, how could he possess Kong Zheng's unparalleled talent? Doesn't seem likely; his demeanor screams stupidity.'

However, realms do not lie. No matter how much he doubted, Lü Yang was right in front of him, and his True Monarch status even made him feel that he was unfathomable.

If it were an outsider, he would dare to take action directly.

However, the other party somehow managed to gain the favor of the Xuanling Realm just like him, directly negating his local advantage.

We might not be able to win, what should we do?
The Supreme Being of the Xuanling Realm rolled his eyes and quickly came up with an idea. Since he couldn't win, he would find a way to send him away. Fortunately, he had a channel for doing so.

Thinking of this, a smile immediately appeared on his face:
"Fellow Daoist, you have attained the highest rank and are newly promoted to the Supreme Realm. Your talent is unparalleled in my life. Why don't you come back to the Heavenly Court with me first, and we can have a proper discussion about the Dao?"

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."

Lü Yang was highly skilled and daring, so he naturally wasn't afraid of a heretical True Lord. Besides, he would need this man to take the blame for killing the Precious Pestle Venerable Bodhisattva later. The two immediately took flight.

During this time, Lü Yang was finally able to properly examine the Xuanling Realm. In fact, he had always been curious about this external world.

Especially after learning about the Dharmakaya path.

'Logically speaking, with the collapse of the Dharma Body, the lifespan of all cultivators in the world should have plummeted. Even a True Monarch's lifespan is limited to a thousand years, making it difficult to achieve immortality.'

"However, the Xuanling Realm is different. Although cultivators in the Xuanling Realm also have lifespan limitations, as far as I know, they still live much longer than normal cultivators. Heaven, Earth, Human, God, and Ghost—the five ranks of immortals each have their own duties. Even the weakest Ghost Immortal has a lifespan of a thousand years, which is clearly abnormal."

Lü Yang's cultivation level has increased significantly.

Many judgments made when he was still a Foundation Establishment True Person can now be examined from the perspective of a Golden Core True Monarch, and many flaws will immediately become apparent.

For example, lifespan.

'Initially, I thought the lifespan of Foundation Establishment cultivators was so short because their cultivation level was suppressed in the "Sea of ​​Bitterness," causing the Three Calamities and weakening their souls.'

Looking back now, although the reason remains the same, the fundamental difference is somewhat apparent. Without the Three Calamities, the lifespans of Foundation Establishment True Persons and Golden Core True Monarchs should actually be the same, both reaching a thousand years. However, later, the lifespan limit of Foundation Establishment True Persons was artificially reduced.

the reason is simple:
'If every Foundation Establishment cultivator could live steadily for a thousand years, without needing reincarnation, without needing to rebuild their cultivation, and without having their soul cleansed by the underworld.'

'How many more Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivators will that create?'

'Having reached the peak of Foundation Establishment, as long as one still desires gold, one will inevitably encounter those Golden Core True Monarchs who have fallen from their positions due to the end of their lifespan and are forced to reincarnate.'

"That's why the Three Calamities exist—to increase the difficulty of cultivation for Foundation Establishment cultivators, reduce the number of Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivators, and minimize competition."

Thinking of this, Lü Yang looked around the Xuanling Realm again.

'In the Immortal Pivot, a thousand years is the limit of lifespan; yet here, a thousand years is merely the beginning, and there are no signs of time slowing down.'

Back in the Human World, he had encountered a boundary that was tens of thousands of years old. But that was because there was a strong time displacement phenomenon around the boundary. Ten thousand years inside the boundary was only one year outside the boundary. The two were unified in terms of time, so it was barely understandable.

However, the Xuanling Realm is different.

'There's no time discrepancy; the time flow in the Xuanling Realm is exactly the same as that in the Immortal Pivot. That's truly strange! How could a mere heretic achieve this?'

Lü Yang became increasingly curious.

Soon, after passing through layers of clouds, he arrived in front of a magnificent palace. What he saw was the light of the sun and moon, with stars surrounding it.

"Fellow Taoist, please."

The Supreme Being of the Xuanling Realm was the first to raise his hand and open the palace gate. Lü Yang followed closely behind, and then heard a muffled sound from behind him.

The palace doors slammed shut.

Seeing this, Lü Yang had a half-smile on his face. What, did this country bumpkin from another sect think he could trick him into the formation and then turn on him?

The next second, the Supreme Being of the Xuanling Realm turned around, his face still beaming with a bright smile. Although he had acted like a complete fool in his previous lives, that was because the Immortal Pivot was too cunning, not because he was incompetent. Now, he was very clear-headed and had no intention of making a move.

"It made fellow Taoists laugh."

The Supreme Being of the Xuanling Realm smiled slightly, and then uttered a name that surprised Lü Yang: "May I ask if you have heard of the Star Palace, fellow Daoist?"
