Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 838 The Star Palace's Eagerness

In the Star Palace, Lü Yang had already retracted his towering Dharma body, returning to his normal human size, with his hands behind his back and a calm expression in his eyes.

'It feels so good to bully the weak.'

'No wonder the World-Honored One likes to step on people. I have painstakingly cultivated for so many years, and finally achieved my current level of attainment. I should be able to trample those inferior practitioners under my feet!'

From beginning to end, he didn't use any mysterious imagery; he relied solely on the brute force of his Dharma body. However, this can't really be blamed on that [Fang Ri Tu] star lord. Let alone a mere star lord, even if [Cheng Tian Zheng De Zhen Jun] were here, he would have crushed him with a single step.

'In that case, the Star Palace should think more highly of me.'

'After all, my Dharma body is so large and powerful; it must be incredibly attractive to them, whose lifespans have been greatly reduced due to the rupture of their Dharma body path.'

that's the truth.

The next second, a streak of light flew over, and a man stepped out from it. He was the same male star lord who had just been traveling with the [Fang Ri Tu] star lord.

However, his arrogance and indifference were completely different from when he thought Lu Yang was a native of the heretical sect. Now his face was full of fawning smiles, and fear still lingered in his eyes. After all, if he hadn't been quick-witted and run away early, he would probably have been buried with someone else.

Thinking of this, his smile became even more obsequious, and he immediately performed a deep bow, saying:

"Fu Chen greets Senior."

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang revealed a kind expression: "I apologize, I didn't control my strength well and accidentally crushed that fellow Daoist. Please don't mind."

Fu Chen's eye twitched upon hearing this.

However, he quickly revealed an indignant expression: "I don't mind at all! It's clear that Tian Si is ungrateful for what he has."

"Fellow Daoist, crushing her to death is also a way of cleaning up the mess for our Star Palace!"

"Really."

Lu Yang raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Fellow Daoist, please don't force yourself."

Fu Chen shook his head decisively and said solemnly, "Not at all. This is a matter of justice. In addition, several officials in the palace wish to meet with you, senior."

'So, they've finally arrived.'

As he expected, after he demonstrated his great power, Xinggong immediately reacted, and his eager attitude showed that he was quite eager for it.

'Great, I'm glad you want it.'

'The more they covet me, the easier it is for me to negotiate. Anyway, I haven't revealed my full power of acquisition, so I haven't exactly exposed myself.'

This is all thanks to the [Book of a Hundred Lifetimes]. With it clearing my name, my cultivation level is impossible to detect unless I actively expose it. And just having a powerful Dharma Body is far from enough to attract the attention of the Dao Lord. After all, if the Dharma Body cannot be revealed to the world, everything else is just empty talk.

Thinking of this, Lü Yang simply nodded:
"Lead the way."

Star Palace, the central palace.

Led by Fu Chen, he strode into the magnificent palace and arrived at the tower-shaped hall where the thirty-six stone sculptures were located.

This is the real "Star Palace".

At this moment, the main hall was already bustling with noise, and all thirty-six divine senses, without exception, had been awakened and were fixed on Lü Yang.

"Such a perfect Dharma body!"

"It's been so many years since I last saw a Dharmakaya of this level, ever since the Dharmakaya path was severed. I really want to touch it myself."

"Chiliu."

Feeling the stone sculptures surrounding his Dharma body, so excited they seemed to want to lick them, yet utterly lacking in human dignity, Lü Yang frowned slightly.

To be fair, he could understand these stone sculptures. After all, putting himself in their shoes, if he were trapped in such a place for hundreds of thousands of years, unable to move, half-asleep and half-awake every day, like a dead man, he would also go crazy. He wouldn't have the leisure to care about any high-mindedness.

But understanding is understanding.

Feeling the sensations in his biceps, neck, shoulders, back, thighs, and even the divine sense that had once threatened to push him further, Lü Yang finally spoke:

"I am Du Ye, esteemed seniors."

The Daoist voice swept through like a storm, instantly dispersing the encirclement of divine thoughts and bringing the many stone sculptures, who were caught up in ecstasy, back to their senses. "Ahem... Please excuse my poor performance, fellow Daoist."

Finally, Haoyuan Shangzhen, one of the six stone sculptures at the very top, spoke first: "May I ask where you come from, fellow Daoist? And why do you dare to trespass into my Star Palace?"

"Senior misunderstood."

Lu Yang waved his hand: "I was invited here by the seniors, and I did not barge in without reason. It's just that the fellow Daoist who came to greet me was not very friendly."

"An invitation to the Xuanling Realm?"

Haoyuan Shangzhen didn't care about the life or death of a mere Star Lord at all. Instead, he asked with delight, "Fellow Daoist is from the Xuanling Realm. What is your cultivation level?"

"It's true."

Lu Yang smiled slightly: "I accidentally found a peculiar fragment in the Xuanling Realm. After melting it down, I forged this superior Dharma body, which can be considered my method of protection. However, this is only a minor path. Compared to that, the Fruition Realm is the foundation of my cultivation."

"Strange fragments, forging a Dharma body."

For a moment, the hall was completely silent. After a long while, a divine sense cautiously made a judgment: "Could it be a fragment of the Dharma Body Path from the past?"

"is it possible?"

"It's not impossible. Back then, the Dharma Body Dao was broken, and who knows what happened? It's quite normal for fragments of the Great Dao to have fallen into the Sea of ​​Light."

Looking at the intertwined divine thoughts within the main hall, Lü Yang chuckled inwardly.

This was a carefully prepared excuse.

The existence of fragments of the Dharma Body Dao within the Xuanling Realm—this excuse can simultaneously answer two questions: his powerful Dharma Body and the mystery of the Xuanling Realm's lifespan.

Of course, that's not the truth.

'If fragments of the Dharma Body Dao truly existed in the Xuanling Realm, with my current Dharma Body cultivation level, there's absolutely no way I wouldn't have discovered them; I could only be using them to deceive people.'

'However, I must admit, it's a perfect excuse.'

At least the thirty-six stone sculptures present believed it, and some even felt a sense of sudden realization that the mystery that had plagued them for many years had finally been solved.

However, precisely because of this, some people couldn't sit still.

"Fellow Daoist, such an opportunity to obtain the fragment of the Dharma Body is extremely rare in the world, yet you do not cultivate the path of the Dharma Body deeply, but instead settle for something less and try to cultivate some kind of fruit position?"

A violent thing!
Upon hearing this, Lü Yang promptly revealed a regretful expression: "Seniors, there's nothing we can do about it. I'm also puzzled by this."

"After I smelted that peculiar fragment back then, I originally intended to advance further. However, for some reason, no matter how hard I cultivated afterward, my Dharma Body cultivation stopped increasing by the slightest. Therefore, I had no choice but to settle for second best and try to attain a fruit level in the void, preparing to switch to cultivating a fruit level."

After he finished speaking, the hall fell silent once again.

He struck it lucky and found a fragment of the Dharma Body Path, which allowed him to cultivate supreme supernatural powers. However, he found it difficult to make further progress, so he emptied his path to enlightenment and began cultivating elsewhere.
what?
Although each word was understandable, when put together, they gave all the stone sculptures present an absurd feeling that they might still be dreaming.

Is this human talk?
In an instant, the stone sculptures simultaneously strengthened their divine sense of revival and carefully examined Lü Yang with an unprecedented seriousness.

Lü Yang was naturally pleased with this outcome.

After all, he's cultivating a genius persona, aiming to be on par with Ancestor Tingyou, so it's normal for him to be a little amazing; the answer is simply high talent.

Meanwhile, the stone sculptures were puzzled.

What do you all think?

"It doesn't seem like it. If what this person said were true, then his wisdom should be radiating from the top of his head. There's no way I wouldn't see it."

"Take a closer look, maybe you're mistaken?"

"I must have misjudged him. After all, in my opinion, this person is clearly of average talent, just average ability. But his cultivation level is beyond doubt."

"Could this be what it means to appear foolish but actually be wise?"
