Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 862 Pine and Cypress Wood Acquired! (Fourth Update)

Lu Yang was not surprised that Angxiao would come looking for him.

After all, his heroic deeds had been broadcast throughout the entire Immortal Realm. If he didn't come looking for him, Lü Yang would suspect that he had already been killed by the Dao Lord.

However, Lü Yang did not respond immediately, but instead chuckled softly:
"Senior, wait a moment."

Before he finished speaking, the five divine abilities that Lü Yang had just refined immediately converged and transformed into a beam of light that shone directly onto the sky!
Almost simultaneously, at the highest point of the sky, the star of the [Pine and Cypress] was illuminated. Its energy was located in the due east, towering and covering the earth, manifesting scenes of natural disasters such as wind, rain, and snow, surrounding it. However, the more intense and magnificent these scenes were, the more upright and majestic that bright starlight became.

The next second, Lü Yang decisively raised his Dao Foundation.

"Boom."

The five supernatural powers fused together the Dao foundation, instantly refining a blessed land. Then, the blessed land took flight, gradually moving towards the direction of the [pine and cypress wood].

What surprised many onlookers was that, in the face of this beam of light seeking gold, the [Pine and Cypress Wood] showed absolutely no resistance or rejection.

"How could this be?"

"He didn't even set up the ritual for seeking gold. Could it be that he was the True Lord of Pine and Cypress Wood before, and now he has returned in reincarnation, merely returning to his rightful place?"

“That shouldn’t be the case. As far as I know, [Pine and Cypress Wood] has always been in the Pure Land and has never left. If he is truly [Pine and Cypress Wood]’s former master, then he must be a Bodhisattva. But he just had a falling out with the Pure Land. Could it be that this person’s origins can be traced back to before the heavenly upheaval?”

At the same time, in the underworld.

Inside the [Hidden Mystery Palace of Dao Cultivation], a figure shrouded in mist stood before the hall, his narrow eyes gazing at the mortal world, a hint of melancholy appearing in his eyes.

"【Pine and Cypress Wood】."

For a moment, Angxiao felt that the barrier of perception deep in his sea of ​​consciousness trembled slightly, as if it were resonating with something.

".interesting."

"Is this the position I held before I took charge of the Great Forest Tree? The Pine and Cypress Tree, I see. It does fit my experience back then."

Angxiao is not entirely ignorant of his sealed memories. Sometimes he can actually guess some of the contents of those memories. For example, he has now guessed that he is the former master of Pine and Cypress. But how did he jump from Pine and Cypress to Great Forest?
[Angxiao] suddenly stopped his thoughts.

He couldn't think about it anymore. The memory seal had begun to warn him, and his intuition told him that if he actually remembered something, it would be detrimental to his actions.

Thinking of this, he immediately turned his gaze away.

"Though withered in the cold of winter, it possesses a steadfast nature."

"To be able to prove the [Pine and Cypress Wood] without any ritual, it seems that this person has gone through countless hardships and obstacles to finally achieve this."

Thinking of this, he looked forward to Lü Yang even more.

Perhaps I get along well with this person. It just so happens that all my old Daoist friends have passed away, and I should make up some new Daoist friends in case of need.

Meanwhile, Lü Yang's pursuit of gold had come to an end.

The whole process was completely predictable and went so smoothly that it surprised him. He mainly didn't expect that [Pine and Cypress Wood] would cooperate on its own initiative without any ritual.

But now he understands.

"So that's how it is. Pine and cypress trees thrive in the cold of winter, hiding beneath the sun, enduring wind and frost for a long time. Only those who have suffered greatly and whose integrity remains unyielding can truly understand this."

'Looking at it this way, pine and cypress trees truly deserve my favor.'

To be fair, in this day and age, there are probably no cultivators who can compare to him in terms of enduring hardship. To give a simple example...

I saw the World Honored One descend to earth when I was building my foundation.

Can other people do it?

As for my unwavering integrity, needless to say, even after experiencing so many setbacks, I still dare to dodge and weave across the Dao Lord's bottom line.

Who else would I be?

As he sighed, the blessed land had already taken over the [Pine and Cypress Tree], and the aura of the True Lord instantly filled the heavens and earth, while Lü Yang himself exhaled a deep breath of turbid air.

'Finally, it's complete!'

The next second, golden lightning appeared in Lü Yang's palm, leaping with joy, transforming into golden snakes that slithered between his fingers. At the very moment he completely mastered the [Pine and Cypress Wood], Lü Yang finally broke through the last barrier. Boundless insights surged forth, his inspiration flowing like a spring. He only wanted to immediately return to the Xuanling Realm to cultivate in seclusion and fill in the final missing element of wood in the [Divine Firmament Lightning]!
Even more than that.

If he so desires, he can refine his physical body into a life form right now, then devour the [pine and cypress wood] to perfect his Dharma body and regain control of the Dharma body path!
At that time, he will be the Great True Lord of the Dharma Body!

Moreover, due to the re-emergence of the Dharma Body Path, although it is still in a broken state, the lifespan of cultivators throughout the world will still be initially restored.

The foundation of the Cave Heaven Method will be shaken as a result.

What will happen then? Will the Holy Sect's patriarch be extremely angry? Will hiding in the [Remnant Consciousness of Heaven and Man] be of any use? Won't I be caught?
'No, I have to hold it in.'

Thinking of this, Lü Yang quickly suppressed his suicidal thoughts. It was only a matter of time before he could seize the [Pine and Cypress Wood], but once he made a move, he would definitely be disapproved of by the Dao Lord.

"No rush, things will work out better with patience."

'I should have only done the annexation of the pine and cypress wood when I decided to reopen the business; it was meant to be used to overturn the table with the Dao Lord. Now, I can live a little longer.'

Lu Yang took a deep breath, chose to stop, and suppressed the urge to immediately become a Great True Lord of the Dharma Body and have a good time.

Next, he looked at the pine and cypress trees that were so close to him and surrounded him, intending to try out the fundamental mysteries of this fruition.

Its name is——

'Strive for perseverance!'

The application of this profound fruit position is extremely unique. If it can be summarized in one sentence, it is: "What doesn't kill me only makes me stronger."

'Once this profound technique is used, the more severe the injuries, the faster the recovery, and the less likely one is to lose their life.'

"Based on this, as long as the Lord of the Fruit Realm can maintain this profound mystery and survive, not only will their injuries improve, but they will also gain a certain level of resistance. The next time they encounter the same attack, their opponent will be weakened by three parts when facing the Lord of the Fruit Realm."

'What's even more impressive is that this profound principle can be stacked.'

'If I adhere to this profound principle in my battles, as long as my opponent cannot kill me, then in the end, all their methods will be powerless against me!'

'And the effects aren't immediate.'

'Once you've fought a Lord of a Fruit Realm and been recorded by this mysterious technique, the effect is permanent! It will only refresh when the Lord of a Fruit Realm falls.'

Lü Yang's eyes lit up with surprise.

"【Perseverance】truly suits me. After all, my greatest strength as a practitioner of the Dharma Body path is my thick skin and tough flesh. With this, I can become even tougher!"

'From this perspective, pine and cypress wood likely possesses supreme potential, but it requires a certain amount of time to develop and must frequently engage in magical battles.'

Giving it to a pure land would be a waste; only I can bring out its potential!
After a moment of contemplation, Lü Yang concealed his star position, stood with his hands behind his back in the sea of ​​clouds, and said softly, "The matter is settled. Senior, you may now show yourself."

Before he could finish speaking, a figure appeared.

Along with it came a hazy mist, stretching across the sky and earth, enveloping Lü Yang and making the world seem as if it were veiled in a thin gauze.

Almost simultaneously, the various True Lords who had been watching this place suddenly blinked, and then naturally looked away, no longer paying attention, as if they had forgotten that there was such a person as Lü Yang. He thus broke away from the gaze of the True Lords.

"The Immortal Lord Who Controls Tribulations and Transcends Karma?"

[Angxiao] spoke softly, his gaze scrutinizing, clearly indicating that he had come prepared, otherwise he wouldn't have called out Lü Yang's title, which had been certified by the Xuanling Realm.

"Greetings, senior." Lü Yang cupped his hands and smiled.

However, Angxiao had no time for small talk and went straight to the point: "Do I know you, fellow Daoist? How did you find out about the Chentu matter?"

"If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing."

Lu Yang squinted and said softly, "Senior, we are friends but not enemies. This place is not suitable for discussing metaphysics. Why don't we go to the [Remnant Consciousness of Heaven and Man]?"

　Last week's Super Fan Club asked for likes, but I started working on it too late and almost failed to reach the goal.

　　This week, I'd like to ask everyone to like and share the Easter egg post so that the fanfic post can get over 1,000 likes and I can get 50 more fan titles next month.
