Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 847 I’m so stupid, really
I'm so stupid, really.

I should have realized it when Mingfeng had his first enlightenment and uttered the first "Ah!" As a member of the Immortal Pivot, how could I have been so careless!

At this moment, Lü Yang's mind was filled with profanities.

However, his expression remained unchanged. Despite being extremely flustered inside, he remained calm and composed, nodding very naturally.

"A good name, let's go with this one."

"I'm glad you like it, fellow Daoist."

Upon hearing this, Mingfeng once again revealed a compassionate smile that made his scalp tingle, and then laughed and said, "Then I will arrange for someone to report to the higher-ups immediately."

"Fellow Daoist, please wait here for a moment. I'll be right back."

After saying that, Mingfeng turned and left the laboratory, even humming a little tune softly along the way, melodious and cheerful, clearly in a very good mood.

On the other hand, Lü Yang felt his blood run cold.

There was nothing he could do; everything that was happening before his eyes was completely beyond his expectations, shaking him to his core, and he felt a chill run from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head.

Only one question remained in my mind.

--Why.

'This doesn't make sense.'

'This is clearly the Star Palace, far from the Celestial Pivot, and even with the Dao Lord of the Dao of Magical Power overseeing it, why the hell did we still run into the World Honored One?'

What does the Master of the Magic Power Path do?
For Lü Yang, although there were four Dao Lords in the Immortal Pivot, he was always extremely wary of the World Honored One, not because the World Honored One was so powerful.

Rather, it's the exact opposite. It's precisely because the World Honored One is the youngest and weakest among the four Dao Lords that he exerts the strongest pressure on lower cultivators. After all, the other Dao Lords don't care about the meager rewards in the mortal world, but the World Honored One is the one who makes plans and schemes in the mortal world every now and then.

In short, they are keen on playing in low-stakes, casual games.

'That's how it is in Tianfu. The remnant spirit of the Suppressing Deity fiddled with things for so long, paying countless prices, only to find that the true consciousness had already transformed into the form of the World Honored One.'

'He's still like this in the Star Palace, like a ghost!'

Is there no law left?

After a brief moment of panic, Lü Yang calmed down: 'No, that's not right. It doesn't make sense. The Star Palace Master isn't that cripple Si Chong.'

'Even with the Buddha in such a state, there's no way he wouldn't have noticed.'

'unless.'

Thinking of this, an even more terrifying suspicion plunged Lü Yang's heart into the depths of the sea: 'The World Honored One and the Star Palace Dao Master have some kind of secret deal!'

This speculation is even more terrifying.

Because Lü Yang couldn't help but think of his previous battle in the Star Palace, where he had stomped to death the Star Lord [Fang Ri Tu], a feat that was witnessed by all at the time.

Lu Yang wasn't worried about the other Dao Lords, as merely revealing his Dharma body wasn't enough to attract their attention. However, the World Honored One was different. He was clearly an unconventional individual who loved to snatch opportunities from the younger generation. He might even be capable of stealing the magic treasures of Qi Refining talents from Golden Core True Monarchs.

To be favored by the World Honored One is absolutely the worst luck a cultivator could ever experience!

'No, I need to calm down.'

'At least the World-Honored One hasn't attacked me yet. I haven't sensed any alteration of the World-Honored One's consciousness, nor has my Perfected Bodhicitta warned me.'

Lü Yang was already quite familiar with the World Honored One.

Even the Buddha's terrifying method of "everyone for me" – after experiencing it so many times, and even personally witnessing it, he also summarized the patterns.

First of all, the Buddha's alteration of consciousness was not arbitrary.

'It has preconditions.'

"Based on my experience, this condition should be causal, such as the inheritance of a cultivation technique, or a fortuitous encounter; the most typical example of the former is a cultivation technique."

"In the Pure Land, regardless of who you were or what your level of cultivation was before, as long as you enter the Pure Land and practice the Dharma teachings of the *Mahayana Sutra of True Enlightenment*, you will be transformed into a practitioner of the Dharma and become a part of the Buddha. This is the cause and effect of lineage transmission; having received the Buddha's transmission, you become one of the Buddha's people."

'I'm the most typical example of the latter.'

'In the lifetime when I attained the [Heavenly Fire], because the heretical attainments I absorbed were all related to the World-Honored One, my Dao heart was invaded and altered by the World-Honored One's consciousness.'

Thinking of this, Lü Yang was suddenly startled: 'Oh no!' Since Mingfeng has become a part of the World Honored One's lineage, could there be problems with the teachings she provides? Will the Patriarch be in danger?
No, that doesn't make sense.

'I've long since developed the habit of scanning anything I encounter with the [Immortal Pivot Survival Guide], and I didn't notice anything wrong when I got the tutorial before.'

So, the Buddha came later?

when?
A scene quickly flashed through Lü Yang's mind: "That 'ah!'"

'Just as I took out the Divine Firmament Thunder and Mingfeng had an epiphany, the World Honored One descended. Because of the Divine Firmament Thunder? Why would it alarm the World Honored One?'

Lu Yang was completely baffled.

Just then, the laboratory door was suddenly pushed open, and Mingfeng strode in, her compassionate smile unchanged: "Haoyuan Shangzhen has agreed."

"All factories on our home planet have begun producing spare parts, and the Star Chart [Seven Treasures Glazed Tree] is officially underway. We estimate that experimental samples will be produced within three months. To repay you, fellow Daoist, once it's completed, you can be the first to use it. How about it? Aren't you happy?"

Lü Yang quickly nodded: "Happy, happy."

Mingfeng smiled and said, "Oh, by the way, Haoyuan Shangzhen said that the array treasure for extracting lifespan has been completed. Please go and meet with him again, fellow Daoist."

"really?"

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang immediately suppressed his overwhelming joy and deliberately showed his dissatisfaction: "Senior Haoyuan, you're being a bit too hasty in extracting lifespan."

"What? Fellow Daoist doesn't want to go?" Mingfeng chuckled.

"That's not it."

Lu Yang shook his head: "After all, he is a senior, and his cultivation is far superior to mine. I still have to go and meet him. Never mind, I will come to ask for guidance on array treasures another day."

He dared not show the slightest sign of anything amiss.

At that moment, he felt like a docile little lamb standing in front of a wolf in sheep's clothing, about to be torn apart at any moment.

Just then, Mingfeng moved.

Suddenly, she raised an eyebrow, her compassionate smile seemed to fade, and without saying a word, she narrowed her eyes and quietly observed him.

"."

Lu Yang dared not dodge in the slightest, desperately trying to keep a straight face while silently counting in his mind.

It wasn't until he counted to three that he tilted his head, revealing a puzzled expression that seemed to say, "Why aren't you saying anything?" and stared at Mingfeng.

"Fellow Daoist?" Lü Yang spoke first.

"hehe."

The next second, Mingfeng chuckled softly, her beautiful eyes sparkling like silver bells, and Lü Yang could even see his reflection in her pupils.

"It's nothing, I was just spacing out."

"Since it is True Immortal Haoyuan who has spoken, Fellow Daoist, you should indeed go. As for the Dao of Array Treasures, I believe you and I will have plenty of time to exchange ideas."

"Fellow Daoist, go and return quickly."

Forget it, I'm definitely not coming back!

While inwardly grumbling, Lü Yang made a polite remark and then quickly walked out of the laboratory, where he saw Xingjun Fuchen waiting outside.

Open the stargate.

Leave the home planet.

Only after he had truly left his home planet, and the gaze that seemed to be sharp against his back was blocked by the boundless void and vanished without a trace, did Lü Yang finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"grown ups?"

On the other side, Fu Chenxingjun looked puzzled, which made Lü Yang furious. Damn it, you didn't even know you were keeping a ghost in your house?

After a moment of silence, Lü Yang gritted his teeth and whispered:

"Take me to see Haoyuan Shangzhen immediately!"
