Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 936 Virtue-Completing Talisman

The Mysterious Spirit Realm, the Heavenly Court.

Lu Yang opened his eyes, and the colorful light at his fingertips was still spinning as usual, as if it were just a dream. Only the Dao Fruit Secret Method he had memorized proved that it was real.

Then Lü Yang was stunned.

He realized he had suddenly forgotten something; he seemed to have just met someone, but couldn't remember who it was.

'Who did I see?' Lü Yang subconsciously checked the [Time-Shifting Dao Fruit] he had obtained, and immediately revealed a look of horror: 'The Dao Fruit secret technique of [City Wall Soil]? I saw the World Honored One? How is that possible! The World Honored One descended to earth to capture me? Have I already...?'

More and more memories are surfacing.

Then disappear.

'No, it's not that my memory has disappeared.'

Faced with such a bizarre situation, Lü Yang remained calm, his composure reaching its peak: 'It's karma. Part of my past karma has vanished!'

The loss of memory is a side effect.

Because his Dao heart is perfected, even the Dao Lord cannot directly manipulate his memories. However, by obscuring cause and effect, he can indirectly interfere with a part of it.

'Is it the World-Honored One who is obscuring the cause and effect of our meeting?'

Just then, an echo reached my ears:

"Fellow Daoist, rest assured, it only obscures some of the cause and effect. This is a necessary measure, and you will naturally remember it when the crucial moment arrives."

The sound stopped suddenly.

Lu Yang stood there, stunned, letting out a long breath. Only one thought remained in his mind: 'It seems my cultivation has improved.'

The cause and effect were altered, the past encounter with the World Honored One was concealed, and replaced with: 'Just now, I suddenly unleashed my accumulated power, and relying on my innate unparalleled talent and unwavering perseverance, I comprehended the Dao Fruit Secret Method of [City Wall Soil]! What the hell is this?!'

There must be something wrong!
Lu Yang's expression immediately became tense, and just then, a faint divine thought suddenly floated out from within the long-silent Righteous Path Banner.

'Hmm? The patriarch?'

Lu Yang was taken aback when he saw this, and then he focused his mind on the Righteous Path Flag. He quickly saw the Tingyou Ancestor with a solemn expression and even lingering fear.

Upon seeing Lü Yang approach, Ancestor Tingyou didn't waste any words and directly sent out a divine thought.

"See for yourself."

Lu Yang curiously took the divine sense and sensed it briefly.

In an instant, all the scenes from his previous conversation with the World Honored One flashed before Lü Yang's eyes—these were all seen by Patriarch Tingyou through his vision.

"."

After regaining his senses, Lü Yang looked up, his eyes showing the same lingering fear as that of Patriarch Tingyou: "Such a thing actually happened."

Fortunately, he was already used to maintaining contact with Ancestor Tingyou, who could observe the outside world through him. In addition, the banner spirit was without cause and effect and was not affected by the World Honored One's alteration of cause and effect. Otherwise, this past would really have been covered up, which would undoubtedly have put him in a passive position.

But things are different now.

"The World Honored One deliberately concealed the cause and effect, probably because he was worried that I would act recklessly, such as contacting other Dao Lords, and also cutting ties with me to avoid exposing himself."

"But now I have this memory."

"This is solid evidence!"

An excited look gradually appeared on Lü Yang's face: "At a crucial moment, if we show this memory to the other Dao Lords, it will definitely be very exciting!"

However, Lü Yang's expression soon turned somber.

At the time, he dared not think too much about it, but now there was a question he had to figure out: "How exactly did the World Honored One know about the [Other Shore Collapse Plan]?"

Just then, Patriarch Tingyou spoke:

"Actually, I'm more inclined to believe he didn't know."

"Oh?" Lu Yang's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "Master, please tell me in detail."

After thinking for a moment, Master Tingyou suddenly asked another question: "Why do you think that person from the Holy Sect would support the World Honored One to the position of the Dao Lord?"

Lü Yang understood immediately.

Or rather, what he didn't understand was only the aspects related to cultivation, but after Master You began to explain, he immediately realized what was going on. "It's cause and effect!"

The World Honored One attained enlightenment by reversing time and altering cause and effect. Such methods are indeed powerful, but the other three first-generation peak masters of the Holy Sect may not be weak.

"We need to think about this from the opposite perspective. What good are impressive methods? The Demon-Taming Peak Master opened up the Underworld, wasn't that amazing? But in the end, he still ended up like this. The Holy Sect doesn't care about that. So the key point isn't whether the methods are sophisticated or not, but whether they benefit the Holy Sect's founder!"

"Only those who are beneficial will be nurtured."

"Without profit, the more sophisticated your methods, the easier it is to die!"

That is why the World-Honored One attained enlightenment.

"The Holy Ancestor cultivates [Destiny], while the World Honored One governs cause and effect. The latter can completely fill in the gaps in the former. For example, finding unexpected variables!"

In an instant, Lü Yang suddenly realized.

"The World-Honored One did not discover my plan, but rather perceived the cause I created, and from this, deduced the effect of the collapse of the other shore?"

That's why he came to be an angel investor.

I suspect that in his calculations, my "Other Shore Collapse Plan" is a possibility, but the probability is not high, which is why he came to lend me a hand.

That makes sense!

"Even to take an exaggerated view, this is probably not the first time the World Honored One has done something like this; in fact, he might even be the one among the Dao Lords who does this!"

For example, the Demon-Raising Peak Master.

The four Dao Lords killed the Demon-Taming Peak Master when he had just opened up the Underworld. Could they have been sure that the Underworld had the potential to become a Dao Lord back then?

"Perhaps, it was the World Honored One who deduced cause and effect and discovered this possibility, which is why the four Dao Lords joined forces to beat the Demon-Taming Peak Master into his current half-dead state, suppressing the growth of the Underworld and confining it to the Immortal Pivot, preventing it from continuing to expand!"

The more Lü Yang thought about it, the more terrified he became.

This is only the World Honored One. You should know that the true supreme position related to the future is [Sword Edge Gold]. What is the situation with the Sword Pavilion Dao Master?

Is it possible to do more?
'The Nascent Soul and Golden Core [Angxiao] are truly not deceiving me; the difference between the two is indeed worlds apart, they're practically not even from the same dimension!'

Of course, things shouldn't be that serious.

It's impossible for the Buddha to examine all causes and effects. He would only discover and deduce abnormal causes and effects that are of a certain magnitude. But even that is terrifying.

It took Lü Yang a long time to recover.

"In any case, at least this time the World Honored One should not have revealed the matter, which is why he came to me privately. The Dao Lord also has his own selfish motives."

That's the variable!
However, despite this, Lü Yang felt increasingly anxious. As the saying goes, the longer the night drags on, the greater the variables and the more likely things are to go wrong.

"It's time to leave."

Originally, Lü Yang planned to rest for a few years, since the overlord-level Dao weapon at the Star Palace would not be completed for another thirty years. However, he no longer wanted to wait.

'Both the Overlord-level Dao Weapon and the [Celestial Tribulation] require time; there's no other way.'

'But for other things, I'd better get them done as soon as possible, otherwise things might change.'

【Virtue is abundant!】
Lu Yang had previously considered the difficulty of clearing the level and planned to prepare before attempting the [Remnant Consciousness of Heaven and Man] fragment, which he had won from True Monarch Flying Snow.

But now I can't care about that anymore.

'At worst, I'll create a clone of myself to test the waters first.'

'After all, this fragment of [Remnant Consciousness of Celestial Being] was specially arranged by the Demon-Taming Peak Master; it should hold considerable secrets and be of great use to me now!'

Thinking of this, Lü Yang immediately began to form a magic incantation.

Divine perception leads to a state of mental stillness.

In an instant, his consciousness seemed to fall into an endless expanse of dark light, drifting aimlessly, until finally, after a long while, he saw a glimmer of light.

The light gradually expanded.

His thoughts rapidly approached, his vision gradually cleared, and in a daze, a magnificent array of pavilions and towers appeared before his eyes in the light.

"Boom!"
