Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 849 The Terror of the Immortal Pivot

Lü Yang's expression immediately turned serious.

Of course, this was also deliberately done for Haoyuan Shangzhen's benefit. With such a clear change in expression, Haoyuan Shangzhen would certainly not pretend not to see it.

"Fellow Daoist, what happened?"

Lu Yang immediately sighed, "To be honest, the Xuanling Realm is in dire straits and seems to be in danger. They asked me to return to their aid immediately, but they didn't specify the details."

"Is the Xuanling Realm in grave danger?"

Upon hearing this, Haoyuan Shangzhen immediately narrowed his eyes.

Although he considered the Xuanling Realm to be a rural area, it was undeniable that it was relatively large for a rural area.

Looking across the entire Void Sea of ​​Light, how many realms could send out a danger signal to the Xuanling Realm, seemingly making escape impossible? In reality, there are only these four super realms! Xuan Yuan goes without saying; he is in seclusion, almost completely ignoring external affairs, and it is impossible for him to do anything to the Xuanling Realm.

so--

'Is it the Immortal Pivot?'

Haoyuan Shangzhen quickly came to a conclusion. In the past, he might not have thought much about it, since it was perfectly normal for the Immortal Pivot to capture beings from the Outer Dao Realm.

However, this time is different.

'Just now, the [Radiant Nebula Belt] surrounding our home planet issued its highest-level Dao Heart alarm, which is very likely an anomaly caused by the World Honored One.'

'Under these circumstances, the Xuanling Realm is suddenly in crisis again.'

'Could it be that the World-Honored One is also interested in this Dharmakaya who guides sentient beings, and wishes to use him to find the path to the Dharmakaya? It's not impossible; the Heavenly Palace is still there.'

Seeing the changes in Hao Yuan Shang's divine sense, Lü Yang outwardly feigned fear and ignorance, but inwardly remained incredibly calm, his eyes icy cold: 'If nothing unexpected happens, he will also connect it to the World Honored One. As long as the Star Palace still needs my help, they must protect my life this time.'

This is an opportunity!
"Fortune favors the bold. Once I've pulled off this heist, I'll withdraw my investment and run. Afterwards, I'll simply hide in [Emperor's Reign], or if all else fails, I'll just start over."

With this in mind, Lü Yang had already come up with an idea.

The next second, his face showed a firm expression: "Senior, the Xuanling Realm is my hometown. Now that my hometown is in danger, I will never sit idly by."

"I have agreed to your previous request."

"I'm offering ten thousand years of my lifespan to you, senior. Please lend me your help!" With that, Lü Yang bowed respectfully.

Haoyuan Shangzhen was overjoyed upon hearing this:

"A word is settled!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lü Yang saw a syringe-shaped array artifact land in front of him. Then, Hao Yuan Shangzhen eagerly explained:

"This item is called the Longevity Needle. Fellow Daoist, as long as you insert it into your Dharma Body, it will automatically draw upon your lifespan. One needle every ten thousand years is sufficient."

At this point, Haoyuan Shangzhen was also pondering: 'Perfect, this is also an opportunity to verify. Extracting lifespan isn't something you can just do with anyone. Otherwise, with the vastness and abundance of my Star Palace, why go through all this trouble? Simply raising a whole star's worth of human-animal hybrids would be far simpler.'

The problem is that our shortened lifespan is caused by the collapse of the Dharma Body Path.

'This is an injury to the Dharma body.'

Therefore, to make amends, one must absorb the essence of a powerful Dharma body. If this person's Dharma body is false, then lifespan is inevitably useless.

On the other side, Lü Yang took the Longevity Needle, then shook his head:
“Senior, I am currently only an avatar here and cannot draw upon my lifespan. My true body is currently in a remote place outside the Xuanling Realm.”

"If you truly wish to help me, why not come with me?"

Lü Yang spoke very politely.

Haoyuan Shangzhen understood his unspoken meaning: 'He wants me to help him first, then he'll be willing to give up his lifespan. He won't act until he sees the benefit.'

That being said, Haoyuan didn't really care.

As long as he could obtain enough lifespan to emerge from this stone sculpture, he would not hesitate to use the resources of the Star Palace to win Lü Yang's favor.

"That's it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Haoyuan Shangzhen conjured a long list in front of Lü Yang, and Lü Yang immediately recognized the familiar words.

'The Five Elements Essence and the Sun and Moon Elixir are all excellent items. Besides these, there are many other materials, mostly unique to the Star Palace and unavailable elsewhere. Many are essential for crafting star charts. In addition, there are cultivation techniques and spells—truly a complete package.' Looking at the list, Lü Yang blinked.
"So, senior, may I take a few from here?"

Upon hearing this, Haoyuan Shangzhen's divine sense immediately conveyed displeasure: "Fellow Daoist, you must find a way to correct your heretical thinking."

"You're only thinking about taking a few?"

"What does this attitude take us for? Some backwater village of the Vast Ocean of Light? Our Star Palace has mountains of gold and silver, more than we can ever spend!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Haoyuan Shangzhen said decisively:
Take whatever you want!

Lu Yang: “.”

The Mysterious Realm.

Just as the incense clone was taking on all the items on the list compiled by Haoyuan Shangzhen, Lü Yang's main body stepped out of the cave that had been sealed off beforehand.

“Not quite right”

Lu Yang frowned and immediately activated the [Dongxu Jingye Jade Book] to deeply connect with the Xuanling Realm and begin to sense the situation of the entire realm.

In conclusion, the Xuanling Realm is indeed in a critical situation, as it can already see the black hole image of the Immortal Pivot within the Sea of ​​Illusory Light. However, strangely, instead of trying to distance itself, the Xuanling Realm is accelerating its advance towards the Immortal Pivot.

"Why is this so?"

"It was just in a state of emergency a moment ago."

Thinking of this, Lü Yang immediately activated the [Puppet on a String] and remotely controlled an immortal from the Xuanling Realm to fly towards the Xuanling Realm's Heavenly Court.

This immortal was carefully chosen by him.

His position was that of a close attendant of the Supreme Being of the Xuanling Realm, and he was quite favored, so he could see the Supreme Being of the Xuanling Realm at any time. Now he could use this opportunity to gather information.

Soon, inside the Heavenly Court.

Lu Yang manipulated the puppet and saw the Supreme Being of the Xuanling Realm who was currently discussing matters with a group of immortals in the palace, but there was no tense atmosphere at all.

"Supreme!"

Without hesitation, Lü Yang stepped forward and asked urgently, "Now that we are facing a crisis, Your Majesty sent a letter requesting assistance. Do you have any other measures in mind?"

When he said these words, Lü Yang had imagined many possible responses from the other party, but the next second, the Supreme Being of the Xuanling Realm's reply sent chills down his spine:

"What crisis?"

On the throne room, the Supreme Being of the Mysterious Spirit Realm tilted his head, looking puzzled: "I was discussing with the immortals when we discovered a strange realm."

"There seem to be dozens of True Monarchs in that Realm Heaven. It's a big fish, and I'm sure it's rich in resources. So, we're planning to invade that Realm Heaven and see if we can make a quick buck and leave. Don't worry, with my strength, aren't you sure you can trust me? What's there to be afraid of with just a few dozen True Monarchs?"

Lu Yang: “.”

There is no hope, just wait for death.

The next second, he disconnected the control of the [puppet] without hesitation, and then watched as his puppet became a pitiful echo.

'Is it the World-Honored One making a move again?'

'No, these people's Dao hearts weren't altered by this method; it's more like a predetermined fate, the process forcibly guided towards a certain outcome!'

Why is the Celestial Pivot able to continuously capture the Boundary Heaven?
You should know that the appearance of this desolate place, Immortal Pivot, in the Void Sea of ​​Light is exaggerated. It is a super black hole, and any normal realm would stay away from it.

However, celestial beings from the outer realms frequently intrude into the Immortal Pivot.

Moreover, the frequency is extremely high.

This can no longer be described as a coincidence, especially considering the utterly idiotic actions displayed by the Supreme Being of the Xuanling Realm and other cultivators at this moment.

'Regardless of the realm, once you get close enough, will you be inevitably led by fate to fall into the Immortal Pivot?'

'This is the terror of the Immortal Pivot. No, this is the method of the Holy Sect's venerable, ever-resilient patriarch!'
