Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 858 The World Honored One is actually a good person!
The Bodhisattva Ratnakūṭa has died!

The golden body shattered, a shocking sight. The boiling flames illuminated the surrounding illusory sea of ​​light, yet all vanished with a flick of Lü Yang's palm.

A dignified Golden Core True Monarch, even in the Immortal Pivot where talents abound, is considered a supreme being, capable of looking down upon heaven and earth. Yet, he was simply grabbed and killed as if he were a chick. Such an humiliating way of dying is the most impactful and the most capable of shocking the hearts of the onlookers.

This is not the scariest thing.

Even more terrifyingly, the soul of the Bodhisattva of the Vajra Pestle was unable to escape; instead, it was curled up in Lü Yang's palm and rapidly obliterated by the endless light and color.

"Save me. Save me!"

A shrill roar emanated from Lü Yang's palm, filled with intense despair, but even as his soul dissipated, the World Honored One did not unleash any more power.

This is normal.

Ultimately, the methods I used this time were nothing special, lacking any technical sophistication; it was all due to my exceptional talent.

"Furthermore, my possession of all four elements hasn't been exposed. Under these circumstances, the World-Honored One won't waste his energy saving a Bodhisattva at the early stage of the Golden Core realm. As long as he doesn't go too far and annihilate all three Pure Land Bodhisattvas, it's not a big deal. At most, he'll just pay a little more attention to me."

Thinking of this, Lü Yang's gaze shifted.

"Boom!"

Wherever his gaze fell, the Lotus-Hidden Bodhisattva and the Vase-Moon Bodhisattva fled without hesitation toward the Immortal Pivot, not even daring to meet his eyes.

Meanwhile, inside the Immortal Pivot.

[Angxiao] has completed the acquisition of [White Wax Gold] and [Sand in Soil] and returned to the Underworld, yet a solemn look appeared in his eyes.

Not only him, but all the True Monarchs in the entire Immortal Pivot had actually diverted a portion of their divine sense to keep a close eye on the great battle taking place in the Profound Spirit Realm. Therefore, when the Bodhisattva of the Precious Pestle was crushed to death by Lü Yang, almost all the True Monarchs couldn't help but feel a chill to the bone.

"What a strong person. How did he cultivate himself?"

Amidst the vast sea of ​​clouds, the half-covered in blood, True Monarch Feixue looked up at Lü Yang's Dharma body, a strange light appearing in her beautiful eyes. Then, she subconsciously licked her lips.

Crush a True Monarch in the early Golden Core stage to death!

Even though she was also at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, she couldn't do such a thing. Although she could kill someone at the early stage of the Golden Core realm, she would still have to exchange a few blows first.

This kind of overwhelming method is almost like that of a Great True Lord!

However, Lu Yang's status was indeed very high, but he was definitely not at the late stage of the Golden Core realm. At most, he was only at the same level as her.

In other words——

'This person might be stronger than me?'

Thinking of this, True Monarch Feixue's aura immediately began to fluctuate, and a sense of excitement, like seeing a prey, made her expression become increasingly distorted and fanatical.

Meanwhile, the storm gradually spread throughout the Immortal Pivot.

It wasn't just limited to True Monarchs; even Foundation Establishment True Immortals vaguely sensed something was wrong, since the heavens and earth immediately played mournful music after the True Monarch's fall.

However, Lü Yang didn't care about any of that at the moment.

He simply stood above the Xuanling Realm, frowning, lost in deep thought, before sighing, "I had been a bit too ambitious."

'I can't save the Xuanling Realm; at best, I can only barely maintain its current state of being adjacent to the Immortal Pivot.'

'The predetermined fate has been set, and there's no way to reverse it. Even if I could use minimal force to achieve maximum effect, with my current level of cultivation, I'd probably be worth less than an ounce.'

This was the first time Lü Yang had encountered a problem he couldn't solve while in the state of [Supreme Dao Transformation]. However, he quickly put the matter aside and instead took out [Divine Firmament Thunder], thinking to himself: 'My current state is too rare; it's a once-in-a-lifetime display of extraordinary wisdom.'

'It's such a waste to just let it disappear.'

'Perfect timing! I can use this opportunity to comprehend the mysteries of the [Divine Firmament Thunder]. In fact, I already had an idea, but I haven't had time to refine it.'

'Besides, the wood element is not yet complete.'

'But it's alright, I'll write down the operating methods and design ideas. [Divine Thunder]... Thunder is just the most superficial aspect of this level.'

The patriarch said that its mysteries could be designed in terms of [information], a point I wholeheartedly agree with. Information is essentially the imagery within the [Sea of ​​Suffering]; all things are constructed from [information]. It's just that cultivators lack the necessary perspective to truly see the truth of things.

I didn't have any design ideas before.

"But now I understand. The mystery of the [Divine Firmament Thunder] lies in granting the user a higher-dimensional authority to manipulate information." "Just like I am now."

"Under the highest level of enlightenment, I can see through appearances to the essence of things; this is a manifestation of a sufficiently high perspective."

'While I cannot make the effect of [Supreme Dao Transformation] permanent, I can solidify this perspective and then imbue it with the ability to manipulate [information]. In this way, it can control all things by manipulating information, whether it's dismantling or modifying them!'

Thunder is the pivot of Yin and Yang, the fundamental force that commands all things.

'This is the true [Divine Firmament Thunder]! Not some thing that just summons lightning. Hey, will I be able to handle something this profound?'

Lü Yang was very worried.

What worries him even more is that the effect of [Supreme Dao Transformation] has ended, and he can clearly sense that infinite wisdom is vying to escape from his brain.

After a moment, Lü Yang sighed:
"Damn it, I've gotten dumber again. But I underestimated myself before. I already have specific steps and ideas. Can't I just copy what I've learned?"

I'll go ask the patriarch later!
The next second, Lü Yang returned to the Xuanling Realm, and as soon as he returned, the Xuanling Realm was filled with great joy, and countless strange phenomena appeared.

"Okay, okay, it's okay."

Lu Yang comforted Xuanling Realm, but inwardly lamented that plans could not keep up with changes. His original plan was probably to run away and let Xuanling Realm take the blame, right?
Looking at it now, it seems like I've somehow become the savior of the Xuanling Realm while fighting? I clearly didn't have this intention in the first place.

Moreover, having directly repelled the Pure Land this time, he has most likely come into the Dao Lord's sights again, and he will probably need to be more careful in his future actions.

"Well, it feels pretty good too."

Lu Yang turned his gaze to the Xuanling Realm Supreme who was staggering towards him. The Supreme then bowed to him solemnly and said, "Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist."

"It was nothing, I don't deserve such a generous gift from you, fellow Daoist," Lü Yang said casually.

"Fellow Daoist is too modest."

The Supreme Being of the Xuanling Realm said solemnly, “Fellow Daoist, your previous lightning spell almost shattered a region of tens of millions of miles, but deliberately landed in an uninhabited wilderness. In the end, although the impact was wide, the casualties were not many. Fellow Daoist’s benevolence deserves my respect.”

"Oh, you flatter me, you flatter me."

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang blinked, somewhat embarrassed. After all, although it was indeed something he did intentionally, it was essentially to take care of the Demon-Slaying Master's feelings.

Rather than out of some benevolent heart.

"What's wrong?"

Inside the Righteous Path Banner, the Demon-Slaying Master smiled so much that his eyes narrowed: "We judge things by their actions, not their intentions. The fact that you did this is enough."

"If everyone were like this, the world would be very different."

At this point, the Demon-Slaying Immortal looked at the Listening Nether Ancestor beside him and secretly transmitted his voice: "Fellow Daoist, what you said is true. Lü Yang is indeed a good child."

Master Tingyou nodded smugly.

Meanwhile, after much persuasion, Lü Yang finally managed to send away the Xuanling Realm Supreme, who was filled with gratitude and admiration. Only then did he seize the opportunity to escape into the Righteous Path Banner.
Then he saw Ancestor Tingyou and True Man Dangmo looking at him with smiles.

"What are you doing?"

With a helpless expression, Lü Yang abruptly changed the subject: "Let's take stock of our gains first, Ancestor, Master, I've made a fortune this time!"

Immediately afterwards, he took out a sliver of light.

The golden nature of Ratnasambhava, the Buddha of the Vajradhatu Mandala!
The next second, the [Book of a Hundred Lifetimes] leaped up and devoured it fiercely. Soon, a large number of settlement records appeared on the panel.

Lu Yang quickly scanned the panel, then smiled.

Because he saw what he wanted.

'The Qi has already taken hold of Yang, but it resides beneath Metal. Metal and frost are inherently firm and solid, while wood, residing below, thrives and withers only after the cold of winter. It is named for its inherent firmness, hence the term "pine and cypress wood."'

The Taoist knowledge of 【Pine and Cypress Wood】!

With everything from Qi Refining to Golden Core, his attainment of the [Pine and Cypress Wood] realm is practically a certainty, and his ascension to the Wood element fruition is already within reach!
'Not only that, but they even sent over the Daoist knowledge of [Hairpin Gold] and [Willow Wood], along with some hidden secrets. Not to mention their talent for calculation; the World Honored One is actually a good person!'
