Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 850 Strategic-Level Dao Soldiers

Lu Yang's true form left the Xuanling Realm without hesitation.

Admittedly, he had a lot of fun with the Xuanling Realm before, but when it comes to matters of principle like life or death, he has always been very clear about the difference between right and wrong.

Besides, I'm not running away.

'It's a strategic shift.'

'Only outside the Xuanling Realm can I have a clear strategy for advancing and retreating. If things succeed, I can immediately press my advantage; if they fail, it will be easy for me to withdraw immediately.'

Fortunately, the "destiny" established by the Holy Sect's patriarch for the Immortal Pivot seems to apply only to the celestial realms, not to individuals. Therefore, as long as one is aware of it, escape is still possible. True despair would only arise if one couldn't even escape. However, without sufficient Dao cultivation, even becoming aware of it is difficult.

They traveled far away from the Xuanling Realm.

Only after confirming that no enemies were chasing after him and that there was no sudden gaze from the Dao Lord did Lü Yang pat his chest and relax.

'Luckily, I was cautious enough.'

The one sent to the Star Palace was only an avatar; the real body had been concealing its cause and effect under the mysterious blessing of [Night Chase], and had been steadily hiding behind the Xuanling Realm.

'Although the incense-offering avatar was exposed right under the Buddha's nose, in the end, it was only a part of the Buddha, not the true Buddha who resides on the other shore. Its power was limited, and its status was insufficient; it was impossible for it to directly capture my true body through the connection between the avatar and the original.'

Of course, just in case.

After leaving the Xuanling Realm, Lü Yang still retreated into the [Master of Nourishing Life]. Only in the [Remnant Consciousness of Heaven and Man], which the Dao Lord could not interfere with, did he feel safe.

After doing all this, he turned his attention back to the Star Palace's clone.

Meanwhile, while Lü Yang was having a terrible time, his incense clone was having a great time.

Because Hao Yuan really did a great deal of work, he bought up almost everything produced by the Star Palace, and the Righteous Path Flag was almost overflowing.

However, things have different priorities and importance.

Most of these resources are currently just reserves for him; without the Star Palace's professional technology, they cannot be truly transformed into usable array treasures.

Lu Yang acquired it to prepare for his future star chart crafting; stockpiling resources in advance is always a wise move.

Of course, there are also two that are useful right now.

"One is the Five Elements Essence, which can be used to repair the Great Dao and elevate its profound mysteries. It's perfect for the [Divine Firmament Thunder]. I took five portions of this."

Although this item is considered rare in the Star Palace, it's not so rare as to be priceless. Basically, every Star Lord has some in stock, and some large families have quite a lot. In addition to the Star Palace's own reserves, Lu Yang wanted five portions, and even Hao Yuan Shangzhen felt that was too little.

The other is a Taoist soldier.

However, unlike the Dao weapon [Yao Ling Shen] used by the previous [Fang Ri Tu] star lord, the Dao weapon given by Hao Yuan Shang Zhen is far larger in scale.

"【Yao Ling Shen】is merely a tactical-level Dao soldier."

"To put it bluntly, it's used to enhance the combat power of the Star Lord's servants, so that they can last as long as possible when they fight against the Immortal Pivot True Lord in the future."

"The real strategic-level Dao soldiers have the same level of secrecy as the Twenty-Eight Star Chart, and only old guys like us have the authority to use them."

Led by Haoyuan, Lü Yang arrived at a remote starry sea, where he saw a massive steel building.

How big exactly?

To put it bluntly, its scale is no different from that of the Xuanling Realm, and inside the building, countless array treasures are in operation.

"This is Factory No. 1."

Haoyuan Shangzhen explained, "Back then, our Twenty-Eight Star Chart, as well as all our strategic-level Dao soldiers, were produced in this factory."

After he finished speaking, Lü Yang followed him to a corner of the factory, where a star made almost entirely of steel floated quietly in the void. Its gray-iron luster and symmetrical design exuded a sense of orderly beauty, and it was covered with intricate array patterns.

"This is it."

Haoyuan Shangzhen's divine sense fluctuated slightly: "This is my personal backup strategic-level Dao weapon. Considering your situation, I'm lending it to you for a while."

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang raised an eyebrow: "I wonder what use this Dao soldier is? Forgive my bluntness, but with my current cultivation level, the boost that Dao soldier provides to my cultivation is already very weak."

"This is different."

Haoyuan Shangzhen laughed and said, "This strategic-level Dao weapon is called the Sun-Shooting Bow. It has a different purpose than the Radiant Spirit God and is not used for direct combat."

"Oh? How do you use it?" Lu Yang asked curiously.

"It is used for long-range strikes."

Haoyuan Shangzhen explained, "In short, it can gather momentum and launch a long-range attack from a place where a True Monarch's divine sense cannot reach."

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang immediately understood.

Beyond visual range strike!
However, he quickly frowned: "If that's all, it doesn't seem that impressive, and it doesn't seem to reach the so-called strategic level."

"What if I told you it could elevate one's rank?" Haoyuan Shangzhen laughed.

“Tell me in detail.” Lü Yang’s expression turned serious.

"This weapon is not for use in the present world, but is to be used in the [Sea of ​​Bitterness] to draw upon the infinite imagery of the [Sea of ​​Bitterness] for blessing."

"Therefore, using it to strike is equivalent to the [Sea of ​​Bitterness] being flooded. If the charging time is long enough and enough water from the Sea of ​​Bitterness is drawn in, it can even raise the level of the attack by a small section. With your cultivation level, it is not impossible to approach the realm of a Great True Monarch in one strike."

Damn it! ?
As soon as Haoyuan finished speaking, Lü Yang was immediately shocked. He meant that this thing could deliver a blow close to that of a Great True Monarch!?

Even so, Xinggong still can't beat Xianshu?
"Fellow Daoist, don't think of it as too powerful."

Seeing the change in Lü Yang's expression, Hao Yuan Shang Zhen quickly added, "Although the power is enormous, the consumption is also extremely high, and they are basically one-time use magic weapons."

"Once it's used up, it's gone."

"Moreover, the conditions for its use are quite demanding. It requires a considerable amount of magical power to activate, and only old folks like us can barely meet the requirements."

"As for those star lords, they don't have that ability."

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang frowned slightly: "To be honest, senior, although I am confident that my magical power is not small, compared to you seniors, I am probably still..."

"Fellow Daoist, you can rest assured."

Upon hearing this, Haoyuan Shangzhen immediately laughed and said, "The [Sun-Shooting Bow] I gave you, fellow Daoist, has been modified. It doesn't require magic power, but rather the power of your Dharma body."

"With your cultivation level, fellow Daoist, you are more than capable of meeting the requirements."

Lü Yang then nodded: "That's good."

He then carefully examined the Starry Sky Weapons that were about to be assembled in the factory, thinking to himself: 'They are definitely disposable.'

'Because it uses mostly common materials and none of the high-end ones, it was essentially designed as a disposable prop.'

Thinking of this, Lü Yang suddenly asked curiously, "Who designed such a Taoist soldier?"

"Uh"

Upon hearing this, Haoyuan Shangzhen, who had been speaking eloquently, paused for a moment before replying, "He is an old array master named Xinghun."

"Fellow Daoist, you actually know him too."

"Do I know him?" Lu Yang's eyes flashed.

He only knew two array masters: one was Mingfeng, and the other was the old professor in the tutorial. Haoyuan had no reason to keep quiet about the former.

So, it's that old professor who said I had no talent and was only fit to cultivate the Dharma body?
Thinking of this, Lü Yang couldn't help but think, 'I didn't expect that old professor to be so outstanding; perhaps he's a very suitable candidate to refine a banner spirit.'

Of course, this isn't about being petty.

The main point is to cherish resources.
