Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 868 The Sutra of the Freedom of Other-Transformation Mind Demons

Chongguang took a deep breath and looked around.

What you see is that the eaves are like swords and halberds flying across the sky, the painted beams are like a starry river hanging over the fields, the glazed tiles on the palace shine with a cold light day and night, the dark steps are entwined with mist patterns, and the morning and evening are filled with smoke and haze.

It's so quiet, there's not a soul in sight.

Chongguang cautiously approached the center of the main hall. Looking up, he saw an octagonal mirror hanging high, its light illuminating all directions, leaving no one able to hide.

Below the mirror, seven three-legged round cauldrons were arranged in a row, from which wisps of blue smoke drifted, and the fragrance of sandalwood permeated the air. They were like dragons of smoke swirling in the hall, encircling the jade pillars, containing wind and thunder, just like the roar of dragons. Such a fairy-like scene made Chongguang even more cautious, and he stood still, not daring to go forward.

Then he looked at both sides of the main hall.

On the two dragon-carved jade pillars, there was a couplet written with vigorous strokes, carrying a strong Daoist essence, which immediately struck Chongguang's sea of ​​consciousness as if it had been hit hard.

The jade pillar on the left: the pivot of righteous energy that stabilizes the universe.

The jade pillar on the right: a place that protects the well-being of all people.

Horizontal inscription: Upright and honorable!
After a long while, Chongguang finally came to his senses, but his expression was strange. He thought to himself, 'There really are so-called righteous people beyond the heavens.'

'Is this fake?'

'To be able to write such words, one must either be genuinely righteous and easily deceived, or a complete hypocrite with a profound connection to Jian Ge.'

Thinking of this, Chongguang immediately took a deep breath, decided to stop exploring, and stood still, bowed, and said loudly: "I, Chongguang, a humble cultivator, request an audience with the Immortal Lord who controls tribulations and traverses karma. From now on, I am willing to serve under the Immortal Lord and obey his commands, seeking only a path to advancement."

The sound echoed in the hall.

However, nothing happened. The empty hall remained silent. Seeing this, Chongguang's heart sank slightly. After thinking for a moment, he tentatively changed the subject:
"I will present you with another generous gift this time."

The words have not yet fallen.

Chongguang felt a blur before his eyes, and then a young man in a black robe, who had been sitting in the empty hall just moments before, suddenly appeared in the seat of honor with his eyes closed, seemingly asleep.

"When?" Chongguang's pupils contracted sharply as he looked at the young man.

He sat there quietly, as if he had never left, without any imposing aura or the oppressive presence unique to Golden Core True Monarchs.

It's so ordinary it's frightening.

"This humble cultivator greets the Immortal Lord." Chongguang bowed again, but the young man in the black robe seemed not to hear him, remaining seated in meditation and offering no reply.

'He won't act until he sees the benefit; he won't answer me unless I offer something in return. This kind of personality doesn't seem like that of a righteous cultivator who can be easily deceived.'

Chongguang gave a bitter smile and said helplessly, "Immortal Lord, you have exposed the secret of [Angxiao] and have become enemies with him. This person is already in the late stage of Golden Core and is about to break through to Nascent Soul. He poses a great threat to Immortal Lord. I have a method that may help you knock down his realm and eliminate his threat to you."

Upon hearing this, the young man in the black robe immediately opened his eyes.

In an instant, Chongguang felt a violent shock to his mind, as if his sea of ​​consciousness had been struck by a sledgehammer. He staggered and almost fell to the ground on the spot.

However, he persevered in the end and did not kneel down.

Seeing this, even though he had expected it, Lü Yang couldn't help but sigh, "As expected... Uncle-Master Chongguang has already vaguely touched upon the first stage of the Dao Heart."

Of course, the path to perfect enlightenment is still a long way off.

However, for a True Person who has reached the peak of Foundation Establishment, being able to touch the Dao Heart is already quite an achievement. He didn't even know about this thing when he was establishing his foundation.

However, on the other hand...

'In my Uncle-Master Chongguang's view, Angxiao and I should be irreconcilable enemies at this moment, but in reality, there is a lot of room for cooperation between us.'

'I don't care at all about his so-called method for dealing with [Angxiao]. I can even guess what it is; it's nothing more than Hongyun. He's probably just telling me that True Monarch Feixue has decided to support Hongyun's pursuit of gold, and that [Angxiao] will inevitably intervene to stop it, leading to an imminent battle between the two sides.'

Thinking of this, Lü Yang sighed inwardly: 'So this is the perspective from below.'

'Uncle-Master Chongguang risked his life, using his chips to beg for a glimmer of hope, but what was the reality? I didn't care about his chips at all, nor did I need to pay him any attention.' Suddenly, a description surfaced in my mind:

'It's meaningless.'

"That's right. All the methods used by Foundation Establishment cultivators are meaningless to a True Lord. Whether I help him rise or bring him down, it's all up to me in a single thought."

This was the first time Lü Yang had ever looked at the so-called lower cultivation from the perspective of a higher cultivation. The difference in their realms meant that their perspectives were on completely different levels.

That's how it is for Chongguang.

So what about him as a Dao Lord?
Lu Yang's mood grew heavier and heavier. The slight sense of pride he had felt about "switching roles with his martial uncle" had long since vanished, leaving only a sense of melancholy.

Then, he stopped keeping everyone in suspense:
"Okay, I'll help you."

At the same time, Chongguang was still racking his brains trying to figure out how to persuade the immortal lord in front of him when he suddenly received an answer, and surprise immediately appeared in his eyes.

"What the Immortal Lord means is..."

"I'm here to help you."

Lu Yang repeated himself, then smiled and said, "You are asking for a path, and I happen to have one for you. After you succeed, your rank will be quite high."

"If you have perseverance and talent, your ultimate achievement will be no less than that of any orthodox True Lord, and may even surpass it. However, failure will result in your soul being scattered, with no chance of reincarnation. I will not hide it from you, but if you take this path, it will be of great benefit to me, although there will be many difficulties and dangers along the way."

"I'm willing to leave for the lower revision!"

Without any hesitation, Chongguang immediately cupped his hands and said, "Please enlighten me, Immortal Lord. I am willing to walk this path, risk my life to seek the Dao, and will never regret it regardless of success or failure."

".good."

Lu Yang was not surprised. After all, if he didn't choose this option, he wouldn't be Uncle-Master Chongguang. So he reached into his sleeve and took out a scripture, which he then handed over.

Upon closer inspection, Chongguang saw that the entire scripture was black, surrounded by purple aura, and inscribed with seven powerful and elegant characters: "The Scripture of the Mind of Other-Transformation and Freedom"!
"This is."

Chongguang was stunned for a moment, then immediately took the scripture into his hands and began to study it carefully.

On the other side, Lü Yang remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was quite nervous watching him, because this was the first cultivation manual he had personally written.

Although he lacks comprehension, he has a wealth of knowledge and knows how to apply it.

Therefore, accepting new knowledge may still be a little difficult for him, but he is actually quite skillful in applying the knowledge he has already acquired.

'The inner demons were born from me.'

The *Sutra on the Self-Transformation of the Mind Demon*, as its name suggests, is a method for nurturing one's inner demons, and then using the body of a living person to seize back the inner demons and transform them into physical demons.

"According to my deductions, the more steadfast a person's Dao heart is, the more likely they are to succeed in using this method. And as long as someone can cultivate this method and transform their body and mind into a demon, they can falsely claim to be under my [Great Calamity Lord], equivalent to a Golden Core True Monarch affiliating with a grotto-heaven, and obtain a True Monarch-level rank!"

'And once one attains the rank of True Sovereign.'

'Its very existence can become the foundation for the stabilization of inner demons, which in turn strengthens my ritual of attaining higher status, allowing me to advance even further!'

This is the path that Lü Yang prepared for Chongguang.

Just then, he suddenly felt a stirring in his heart, a sense of connection arising in the darkness. He looked up at the sky and discovered that there seemed to be some cause and effect that was connected to him.

That was a feeling of resentment.

The depth of his resentment and the intensity of his hatred startled him, as if it had been accumulating for countless years and had finally found an outlet for his pent-up anger.

The next second, a thought suddenly and inexplicably surfaced in Lü Yang's mind:
'The vast ocean of light has long been a place of ascetic practice for the ascetic.'
