Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 909 Enemy from Underground! ?
[Responding to the Emperor].

Lu Yang made rapid progress, and after opening the second aperture, he was given another chance to sense the [Newborn Sea of ​​Light]. However, this time his thoughts changed.

'That's not quite right.'

Looking at the flowing abstract patterns before him, Lü Yang frowned deeply: 'This damn thing, even the patriarch felt there was no way to take it directly.'

Lu Yang had always placed absolute trust in his extraordinary comprehension. If even Ancestor Tingyou couldn't take away the reward of the [Emperor Ying], then he really couldn't think of anyone else who could. So either the mechanism of this level was flawed, or the method was flawed.

Which one could it be?

Lu Yang subconsciously began to suspect the man in the black robe. After all, as a True Lord of the Holy Sect, he was not afraid to judge every disciple of the Holy Sect from the worst possible perspective.

However, after careful consideration, he felt that he shouldn't have done it.

'If there really is a trap, even if the opponent's methods are too sophisticated for me to spot, the [Immortal Pivot Survival Guide] should be able to detect it.'

After all, that talent was provided by the Book of a Hundred Lifetimes.

Although he distrusts the disciples of the Holy Sect, he absolutely trusts the Book of a Hundred Generations, which is his only means of survival in this desolate place.

'It's more likely that the method is flawed.'

With that thought in mind, the second comprehension session had come to an end. For Lü Yang, this comprehension session was not exactly fruitful, but at the very least, it yielded nothing.

"That's normal. After all, I've already deduced three Dao Fruit secret techniques. Even with my current solid foundation, creating more Dao Fruit secret techniques without elevating my rank to Great True Lord is still a bit too much of a stretch. It's definitely not because my comprehension is insufficient."

In the blink of an eye, Lü Yang returned to the land of darkness.

The figure in the black robe reappeared, rubbing his hands together and saying, "How is it? Fellow Daoist, do you want to open the third aperture? This time I won't be careless."

"hehe."

Lu Yang chuckled, then suddenly changed the subject: "Speaking of which, I do have a question I'd like to ask you, fellow Daoist. Could you please answer it for me?"

"Speak freely," the man in the black robe nodded.

Is enlightenment truly a condition for passing the [Emperor's Challenge] level?

"Whoa!"

Before Lü Yang could finish speaking, the man in the black robe subtly changed his tone, asking with a half-smile, "Why do you have such thoughts, fellow Daoist?"

“Because from the very beginning, you never said that enlightenment was the way to take the [Primordial Sea of ​​Light].” Lu Yang recalled for a moment and shook his head, saying, “You only said that the only way to obtain the [Primordial Sea of ​​Light] was to establish a connection with it, but you didn’t explain how this had anything to do with enlightenment.”

“Enlightenment is merely opening a channel within the chaos.”

"If this is just a trap you set to deliberately lure others into realizing the truth so that they can't take the reward, then everything makes sense."

The more the man in the black robe listened, the stranger his expression became.

Only after Lü Yang finished speaking did he sigh, then asked curiously, "Why do you think so badly of people, fellow Daoist? Could it be that you are a disciple of my Holy Sect?"

Lu Yang: “.”

Immediately afterwards, the man in the black robe explained, "Actually, fellow Daoist, you've got the priorities backwards. It wasn't that I intentionally used the 'enlightenment' trick to prevent others from taking the reward."

"In fact, you have already failed to pass the test from the moment you began to sense your fruit position within the [Chaos]."

"I left the 'enlightenment' test untouched because I felt that the test of 'responding to the emperor' was too difficult. Many people failed to pass the test without understanding the reason."

"Therefore, some leeway was deliberately left for the losers, allowing them to obtain some compensation for their failures by continuously comprehending the [Primordial Sea of ​​Light]."

Lü Yang listened expressionlessly.

Keep making things up. Go ahead and make things up!
Seeing his completely disbelieving look, the man in the black robe could only sigh at the decline of morality in the Void Sea of ​​Light, and then said, "In any case, what you said is correct."

"Enlightenment is definitely not the way to pass the test."

"As for the correct way to pass the level, it doesn't really matter if I tell you, fellow Daoist. In fact, even if it were spread, very few people would dare to try the correct method."

At this point, the man in the black robe suddenly laughed: "The correct method is to not force your mind to open after entering the Chaos, and even actively sever your connection with the outside world. Just sense the Primordial Sea of ​​Light in the Chaos and establish a connection with it. That way you can pass the level."

"However, once you make contact with the external realms, that won't work."

"In this respect, the higher one's comprehension and the better one's talent, the easier it is for them to fall into the trap, because it is too easy for talented people to sense the fruition."

"So, fellow Daoist, you're out of luck." As soon as he finished speaking, the man in the black robe looked at Lü Yang with a wicked grin, wanting to enjoy the twisted expression on the other's face as he realized he had missed out on a chance.

"Oh." Lü Yang remained unmoved.

Instead, the man in the black robe became curious: "Fellow Daoist, don't you feel it's a pity? You don't have high comprehension and you're so ugly. You originally had a chance to pass the test."

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang's face immediately darkened.

What do you mean I'm ugly?
I was selected as an outstanding disciple of Butian Peak when I first entered the Holy Sect. I am tall and handsome, so how could I be ugly?
'Oh right, these exceptionally talented people judge others by their inner Dao, not their physical appearance.'

Damn, intuitive love!

Lu Yang cursed inwardly, but remained outwardly calm, saying in a deep voice, "To gain it is my fortune, to lose it is my fate. Not all the opportunities in the world can be mine."

The man in the black robe nodded upon hearing this: "Fellow Daoist is magnanimous; it was I who was attached to appearances."

This is normal. Cultivators without the "Book of a Hundred Lifetimes" are like this; their level is stuck in this lifetime, and they can only live a relatively unsuccessful life.

"Keep trying to understand."

Lu Yang made a hand seal: "I advise you to give up directly, fellow Daoist. At the current stage of the Golden Core realm, I am basically invincible."

The man in the black robe did not refute.

After all, Lü Yang's foundation was indeed the strongest he had ever seen. Even the original Lü Yang in his memories, with his extraordinary talent, was actually inferior to him back then.

"What's worse than?"

Suddenly, a thought popped into the mind of the man in the black robe, very weak and subtle, like a ripple on a vast ocean.

The man in the black robe was immediately stunned.

"This is."

The next second, his eyes changed.

It was just a thought, yet it instantly overwhelmed the man in the black robe, causing all his actions to be skewed towards that faint idea.

Who is this person who claims to be invincible?

—It was this simple thought that made the man in the black robe stare straight at Lü Yang, his eyes seemingly filled with boundless wisdom, and Dao talismans appeared.

At the same time, Lü Yang also unleashed the [Divine Firmament Thunder], preparing to use his third Dao Fruit secret technique, which was also his most prized Dao Fruit secret technique. However, on the other side, the man in the black robe seemed to understand something after seeing the [Divine Firmament Thunder], and couldn't help but let out a sigh:
"So that's how it is. Has the calamity already manifested?"

No wonder I was startled awake.

So that great man's scheme from back then has already come to this? [Destiny], truly [Destiny], is there no one left who can stop Him?
At this moment, everything was silent.

Lu Yang's movements stopped, time seemed to stand still, and everything paused before this thought, patiently waiting.

"boom!"

The next second, the man in the black robe exploded, because his weak manifestation of the rules could not withstand this faint thought for long.

Everything quickly returned to normal, and Lü Yang remained frozen in place.

What just happened?

He'd only felt this way once before, when the Sword Pavilion Dao Lord had cast his gaze upon him. Damn it, a Dao Lord just cast his gaze upon me!?
Impossible! This is the [Remnant Knowledge of Heaven and Man].

Not the Dao Lord?

The man in black robes, the master of the Demon-Raising Peak, the master of the Underworld? Lu Yang subconsciously recalled the lingering resentment of his previous life, when he perished together with [Angxiao] in the core of the Underworld.

No way, you can still wake up?
An enemy from underground?

'No, they might not be enemies; this is an opportunity!'

An opportunity to communicate with the master of the underworld and acquire a wealth of forbidden knowledge!
Lu Yang took a deep breath, glanced at the [Book of a Hundred Lifetimes] beside him, calmed his mind, and waited patiently for a moment before the man in black robes reappeared.

Strangely, he waited for a full half hour.

The man in the black robe had completely vanished, and the thought that seemed to come from the underworld did not reappear, as if everything that had just happened was merely his illusion.

No way?
[Ying Diwang] crashed because of me?
