Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 867 If We Switched Roles
The Mysterious Realm.

After sending the spiritual light to the Immortal Pivot, Lü Yang arrived at the [North Pole Exorcism Academy] with a thought, and what he saw was the hardworking banner spirit.

"Not bad."

Lu Yang nodded in satisfaction, as if he could see an old farmer watching the rice seedlings grow strong in the vegetable garden.

To be honest, he doesn't really care about the banner spirit anymore now; his mindset is different from when he first attained [Heavenly Fire].

My moral standards have improved considerably compared to before.

This time, I didn't even transform the Righteous Path Banner into the gate of the Righteous Path, requiring all disciples who joined to voluntarily become banner spirits.

Of course, this only applies to disciples of the Righteous Path. As for the Arctic Exorcism Academy, only those who voluntarily become banner spirits can enter. After all, the Arctic Exorcism Academy is of great importance, and only my brothers are trustworthy. But you are not even willing to be a banner spirit, so it is difficult for me to consider you a brother.

"Master, what do you think of the design of the Dao soldiers?"

"Not yet."

In response to Lü Yang's question, Ancestor Tingyou, who was directing a group of banner spirits, shook his head: "At most, we can only replicate the level of the [Sun-Shooting Bow]."

"It will be very difficult to take it a step further."

"Can we go even further?"

Lu Yang was stunned. As a strategic-level Dao weapon, the Sun-Shooting Bow could even unleash a strike at the level of a Great True Monarch when fully activated by him.

How can we make progress like this?

“The Star Palace actually had a backup plan.” Ancestor Tingyou said with a wry smile, “At least from my perspective, there are different levels of strategic-grade Dao weapons.”

"And the Sun-Shooting Bow is undoubtedly the lowest tier."

“I found a piece that can be pieced together from the design blueprints of the Sun-Shooting Bow. The blueprints for this strategic-level Taoist weapon have obvious signs of damage.”

"In short, it should just be a launching device for a larger-scale Dao soldiers. According to my estimation, it should be a city-like structure with a complete production line inside, which can ensure that the [Sun-Shooting Bow] can be quickly repaired and reassembled after it is scrapped."

At this point, even Master Tingyou felt somewhat helpless.

He is indeed incredibly intelligent, but as the saying goes, "a trade is like a mountain," and if there is readily available technology in front of him, he can quickly master it.

However, it would be too much to ask him to master something he had never encountered before.

Lu Yang was not surprised by this and casually said, "Then forget it, it's not a big problem. We can try to get it from the Star Palace later."

The current status of the Xuanling Realm is quite delicate.

Although captured by the Immortal Pivot, its existence prevented it from being completely divided up by the Immortal Pivot True Monarchs, instead creating a stalemate.

This is very favorable for the constellation.

From the perspective of the Star Palace, the Xuanling Realm at this moment can serve as a bridgehead for their attack on the Immortal Pivot when they launch the Great Tribulation of a Thousand Years in the future.

In order to maintain the existence of this bridgehead and to befriend such a powerful figure as himself, Xinggong must increase its investment in itself.

"They haven't come to me yet, probably because they haven't figured out how to cooperate with me. Once they make a decision, they will naturally come to me on their own."

"The best is yet to come!"

At this point, Lü Yang chuckled and then arrived at the main hall of the Arctic Exorcism Institute. Inside the hall, a bright mirror hung high, and seven large cauldrons stood tall.

Lu Yang lowered his eyelids and immediately saw a golden light in the seven [Yingyuan Cauldrons], and a strong sandalwood fragrance wafted out, which was clearly the power of incense. In addition, through these seven [Yingyuan Cauldrons], he could also sense the thoughts of all the disciples of the Righteous Qi Path.

'The World-Honored One controlled the Pure Land through this.'

Lü Yang stroked his chin.

Of course, he didn't have the supernatural power to modify his Dao heart, so at most he could only sense the thoughts of his disciples, and couldn't make them groan directly.

"The Ancestor."

After pondering for a long time, Lü Yang spoke again: "Tell me, why do all the Dao Lords choose to establish their own Dao lineages instead of becoming lone heroes?"

This is a very subtle phenomenon.

Sects, dynasties, religions—every Dao Lord has a vast Dao lineage as their support, but does that lineage truly mean anything to a Dao Lord?
He hadn't forgotten that in his previous life, all the Dao Lords descended to the mortal realm to seize the Underworld, which led to the instant death of all the cultivators who witnessed the Dao Lords' true forms in the entire Void Sea of ​​Light, a near-apocalyptic end. The Dao Lords acted so decisively; it was hard to imagine that they would really care about a group of lower-level cultivators. "My previous guess was that the Dao lineage was useful to the Dao Lords."

"So I founded the Righteous Path, wanting to explore its secrets. But after two attempts, I didn't actually find anything meaningful."

Thinking about this, Lü Yang felt a slight itch on his scalp.

Back when he was still at the Foundation Establishment stage, he learned that sects could concentrate their fortune and help improve their cultivation level, and he thought that this was the meaning of the sects' existence.

Looking back now, it's simply laughable.

"Even Foundation Establishment is one thing, but once you reach the True Monarch level, your luck is hardly affected anymore. As for the Dao Lord, it goes without saying that he wouldn't care about luck at all."

"Besides, I previously speculated that the existence of the Dao lineage might be able to elevate the position of the Dao Lord, so the Dao lineage is very important to the Dao Lord. But in reality, since I founded the Righteous Qi Dao, let alone elevate the position, to put it bluntly, all these lower-level disciples are a burden to me."

After saying that, Lü Yang sighed again.

Upon seeing this scene, Ancestor Tingyou pondered for a long time before frowning and saying, "Perhaps our guess was wrong from the very beginning."

Lu Yang's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "What does the Patriarch mean?"

"The burden itself may be the purpose."

Master Tingyou continued, "Perhaps the reason why the Dao Lord left behind the Dao lineage was to create more lower-level cultivators to drag him down?"

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang blinked blankly.

".ah?"

Did the Dao Master leave behind the Dao lineage not to promote himself, but to ultimately drag himself down? Is cultivation too easy, and he wants to increase the difficulty?

“I don’t know either.” Ancestor Tingyou shook his head: “I’m just guessing. After all, even with your current cultivation level, you can’t perceive the effect of the Dao lineage. Perhaps that’s just the truth. It’s normal not to be too ambitious. After all, our perspective is limited.”

"The patriarch is right. Hmm?"

Lu Yang nodded, wanting to say something more, when suddenly a thought struck him, as if he sensed something, and his expression turned strange.

"What's wrong?" Master Tingyou asked with concern.

"Nothing, just a little unexpected."

Lu Yang shook his head, then sighed with emotion: "What a tragic fate, it really is a tragic fate. I never expected that my martial uncle would choose me this time."

Then, he suddenly narrowed his eyes:
"The previous inner demon tribulation, as a ritual for the sublimation of one's fruition, still has considerable flaws. I need to constantly use the mysteries of the [Great Tribulation Lord] to maintain it."

"Perhaps this is an opportunity."

“Uncle-Master Chongguang, you trained me back then to help you seek gold. Now that our roles have been reversed, let me also contribute to my cultivation.”

Thinking of this, Lü Yang immediately started to laugh cackling.

For Chongguang, it was just a matter of a moment.

After being enveloped in the flowing light, he felt a blur before his eyes and then entered an indescribable sea of ​​imagery, where he was momentarily lost in thought and oblivion.

When he came to his senses, the ground beneath his feet was a mixture of black and gold. Looking back, he found himself in a magnificent and spacious palace.

'Where am I?!'

'That boundless sea just now, could it be the "Sea of ​​Bitterness"? A legendary realm said only True Lords can traverse; I never imagined I'd be fortunate enough to witness it.'

Chongguang felt a chill run down his spine, but dared not think any further.

After all, his initiative in accepting the recruitment of that Immortal Lord who controls tribulations and karmic transformations was, to put it nicely, a way to find another path, but to put it bluntly, a gamble with his life.

However, now that his path to enlightenment is cut off, he has nothing left to lose, which is why he decided to take a gamble, especially since his opponent is ultimately an outsider.

How much worse can it get?

It can't be worse than the Immortal Pivot, can it?
