Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 926 The Secret of the Supreme Position

Forbidden knowledge that could cause the Great True Lord to self-destruct.

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang, who had just been full of enthusiasm, immediately waved his hand in refusal, because it reminded him of the last memory of his previous life.

'The Dao Lord has descended to the mortal realm!'

"When the Dao Lord descended to the mortal realm to contend for the Underworld, all cultivators who looked directly at his body, whether Great True Lords or ordinary True Lords, died instantly."

'And after I reopened it, I couldn't even remember what the Dao Lord looked like, which is clearly abnormal. If this so-called most ancient forbidden knowledge is on the same level as the Dao Lord's true form, then it means I can't hear it, and even if I could, I couldn't record it.'

Therefore, Lü Yang decisively changed the subject:
"You just said that a hegemon-level Dao weapon can have the same effect as a ritual for ascending to a higher rank. Is this also true for a supreme rank?"

Upon hearing this, Haoyuan Shangzhen's expression tightened, and the corner of his mouth moved closer to Xinghun.

Why are you asking me? Ask him; he's the expert.

Lu Yang immediately looked at Xinghun, and the old professor, looking as if he had no choice, smiled and asked, "What exactly do you think the Supreme Fruit Position is?"

What else could it be?
"A higher level of attainment than the orthodox attainment level," Lü Yang said directly.

Xinghun nodded upon hearing this: "Fellow Daoist, you truly deserve to be a cultivator of the Dharma Body. Your understanding of the Great Dao is as straightforward and direct as the Dharma Body Dao itself, which is truly admirable."

Lu Yang: “???”

Is this a dig at me?
Before he could speak, Xinghun continued, "The so-called Supreme Fruit is essentially a law used to explain the original imagery of the Void Sea of ​​Light."

"For example, the Five Elements Supreme in the Immortal Pivot, and the Taiyin and Taiyang in the Heavenly Palace, are based on this principle. On the contrary, our Star Palace's Supreme Star Chart is just copying others' ideas and doesn't even reach that level. It can only be said that the person who designed the star chart was very ambitious, but unfortunately, his ambition was higher than the sky and his fate was thinner than paper."

Rumble!
Before Xinghun could finish speaking, Haoyuan Shangzhen interrupted him with a drastic change in expression, and Lü Yang also subconsciously took a step back, distancing himself from the old man in front of him.

Damn it, if you're looking to die, don't splatter my blood!
Who designed the star map?
The first Wanbao Peak Master of the Holy Sect is almost certainly the World Honored One himself, who has already ascended to the other shore. He is known for his willingness to ask questions of those of lower status.

Dare to speak ill of him?
Thinking of this, Lü Yang immediately looked at Hao Yuan Shangzhen standing next to him, while the latter had a helpless expression, as if he had no other choice.

On the contrary, Xinghun had an indifferent expression and said lightly, "As for what can be called the fundamental law, I have studied it for many years and have gained some insights. In my opinion, the fundamental law can be summarized in a few words: Yin and Yang, Five Elements, Three Foundations, and Five Heavenly Numbers."

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang was immediately stunned.

"Five days?"

He reacted almost instantly, his previous fear of the World Honored One vanished in an instant, and he looked intently at Xinghun.

"Explain in detail! What is meant by the five-day count?"

"Nature is the fixed number, the variable, the fate, the destiny, the calamity!" Xinghun said matter-of-factly. "If we talk about Yin and Yang, the Five Elements explain all things."

"The three foundations of magic power, Dharma body, and magic techniques are explained for cultivators."

"These five celestial numbers explain the basic operation of all things. That's why the four Dao Lords of the Immortal Pivot are superior to us."

"Of these three fundamental rules, the three foundations are the weakest because they have the most restrictions, limiting them only to the cultivator group. It is only because cultivators are the protagonists of the Void Sea of ​​Light that they have obtained the status of fundamental laws. Next are the positions of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements."

"Because they describe everything."

"However, whether it is cultivators or all things, their operation is encompassed within the Five Great Heavenly Numbers, therefore the Five Great Heavenly Numbers are superior to the others."

Xinghun's words silenced Lü Yang.

This knowledge is rubbish to Haoyuan Shangzhen, because Xinghun is only explaining why the three foundational Dao Lords didn't defeat Xian Shu back then.

Damn it, do I need to know this?

What I need is a way to win!

Therefore, in Haoyuan Shangzhen's view, Xinghun is a typical example of someone who talks without understanding the situation; he only raises the problem but doesn't offer any solutions.

However, Lü Yang was different.

He knew far too much, so Xinghun's words were like a puzzle piece, instantly piecing together many truths that had previously troubled him. 'What kind of path do the Four Immortal Dogs cultivate?'

'I previously suspected they were all empty certificates, but that's not quite right, because logically speaking, the conditions for empty certificates simply didn't exist in that era.'

The golden age of cultivators is a time of great prosperity for the three foundational paths, with countless new attainments. Compared to the complex, difficult-to-understand, and seemingly hopeless path of the Void Proof, it is only natural for cultivators to seek the existing Great Dao. Besides, is the Void Proof necessarily strong? Not necessarily; it is just a special case.

Or to put it more bluntly:
'The very act of proving something out of nothing might symbolize one of the five great celestial phenomena—creating something from nothing, proving it out of thin air; isn't that a variable?'

Lü Yang continued to ponder:
'Of the five great celestial numbers, the [calamity] is unverified, and the [variable] is likely the same; however, the [fixed number], [fate], and [destiny] are not so certain.'

After all, the Holy Sect's patriarch had clearly proven the "Destiny," and he strongly suspected that the remaining "Fate" and "Luck" had probably also been proven by the four Immortal Dogs. Of the four Dao Lords, three had proven the Heavenly Destiny, and perhaps only one Dao Lord hadn't proven anything and had taken a different path to rise to power.

'It must be the World-Honored One.'

'No wonder he's so eager for the [Tribulation]. If he could attain the [Tribulation], he might be able to stand on equal footing with the other Dao Lords.'

'Judging from this, he probably won't give up.'

Thinking of this, Lü Yang felt a chill run down his spine:
'The Primordial Demon only made random moves, abandoning them if they failed, but he seems determined to obtain the [Calamity], and likely has other methods up his sleeve for the future.'

Besides, this was also an opportunity for me!

'Tribulations are also fundamental laws, so with the added benefit of tribulations, my Divine Thunder can attain the rank of Supreme Being!'

This is particularly critical.

Because in his "Other Shore Collapse Plan", a certain supreme fruit position is indispensable, but he cannot obtain it, so he can only use "Divine Firmament Thunder" as a substitute.

Now a solution has emerged.

'As long as I can gain the favor of [Calamity] and elevate [Divine Firmament Thunder] to the Supreme rank, I will be able to perfectly unleash the profound mysteries of the Supreme Fruit!'

If you also receive the bonus from a hegemon-level Dao soldier.

He even went further, devouring the [Pine and Cypress Wood] and advancing to the Dharma Body Dao Great True Lord.

With this set of blessings, one is equivalent to a Great True Lord who has attained the supreme status after sublimation. Even if Angxiao himself were to come, it would be almost the same, right?
Thinking of this, Lü Yang immediately emphasized his words:

"Fellow Daoist has not yet clearly explained to me whether a Hegemon-level Dao Weapon is actually useful for someone holding a Supreme Fruit status."

Upon hearing this, Xinghun finally stopped talking, his brows furrowing slightly, like a teacher annoyed that a student had interrupted his lecture. He then nodded faintly.
"Of course it works."

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang was greatly encouraged.

The mysterious veil surrounding the Four Immortal Dogs, and the fundamental secrets of the world's operation, has finally been lifted, allowing him to glimpse some of the scenery atop the mountain.

However, while resolving one doubt, another one also arose:

'Just who exactly is this Star Soul?'

Genius? Don't be ridiculous. Whether it's remembering the forbidden knowledge that caused the Great True Lord to explode, or just summarizing and generalizing the fundamental laws.

This cannot be summed up by the word "genius".

No matter how talented you are, are you as talented as Master You? These things cannot be explained by talent alone; they are knowledge that only those with a powerful background can acquire!
This is the underlying logic of a broken-down place.

Are you really that talented? What good is talent if you can't train in this godforsaken place? You need connections and background to succeed, otherwise you're just a nobody.

"Senior, what is this person's background?"

Lu Yang turned around and looked at Haoyuan Shangzhen. Without any hesitation, he directly asked his question through telepathy, and the latter gave him a wry smile.

I knew you would ask that question.

"The answer is actually very simple. I can make it clear to you in just one sentence." Haoyuan Shangzhen sighed, then said softly:
"Alas"
