Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 937 The Design Blueprints for the Underworld!
In an instant, everything changed.

So far, Lü Yang has visited quite a few [Remnants of Celestial Beings], but this one is different from the others.

Although the previous [Remnant Consciousness of Heaven and Man] was empty, it remained intact, with all functions operating normally. Even the Dao Lord could not interfere with it, like a paradise independent of the world. Entering it gave Lü Yang a genuine sense of security. But this time was different.

"This"

Lu Yang appeared inside the [De Chong Talisman], his pupils contracting slightly, because what he saw was not the magnificent and splendid palace he had imagined.

It was ruins.

Pavilions and towers collapsed in large sections, glazed tiles and jade shattered, and metal and stone broke, as if an unimaginable epic battle had once taken place here.

Even the brilliance that should have never faded was dimmed here. All the mysteries seemed to have been crushed in the great battle, making Lü Yang almost suspect that this [Remnant Consciousness of Heaven and Man] was already destroyed. It wasn't until he saw a faint light like a candle in the ruins that he breathed a sigh of relief.

'At least it's not like there's nothing at all.'

Lu Yang strode forward and soon found the place where the light was rising. It was a dilapidated palace, its golden tiles and red steps already broken into countless fragments.

The pillars have also collapsed.

The roof of the entire palace is tilted by a large section, and there are broken sculptures everywhere in the main hall, which vaguely reveal how glorious this place was in the past.

Lu Yang continued forward and soon arrived at the deepest part of the palace. There, he saw a throne that was mostly broken. There was no one on the throne, only a jade slip. The jade slip was covered with mysterious patterns and reflected a pure white light, which split into seven colors and moved around it.

".Um."

Watching the pure white light evolve into seven colors, Lü Yang raised an eyebrow, feeling a sense of familiarity. After a moment's recollection, he remembered:
'It is the World Honored One!'

The light emanating from the Vajradhatu Mahavairocana Buddha was like this before; it was initially pure white, then burst into seven colors, which was quite mysterious and divine.

Is it related to causality?

Lu Yang pondered to himself that when the [City Wall Soil] was connected to the great web of cause and effect, it condensed into colorful light, but this was clearly not the full power of the [City Wall Soil].

'To go further and truly change cause and effect, perhaps it's necessary to condense and unify the colorful light into a pure, flawless, blazing white light. If that's truly the case, then this jade slip actually contains a method left behind by the World Honored One? Related to cause and effect? ​​How come this old dog is everywhere?'

Lu Yang rubbed his forehead, somewhat helpless.

It can only be said that the World Honored One truly deserves to be a good friend of those who are less knowledgeable. He was far too humble to ask questions of those less knowledgeable, and the pressure he put on them was even greater than that on the Holy Ancestor.

[Survival Guide for Immortal Pivot], please check it out!
Soon, the results of the spot check popped up on the panel:
[No plot holes, you can read with confidence.]

Lu Yang breathed a sigh of relief, then stepped forward, picked up the jade slip, and scanned it with his divine sense. Immediately, a familiar voice rang in his ears.

Like the man in the black robes inside the [Emperor's Reign], it was the voice of the first Demon-Taming Peak Master, a voice filled with weariness and even a hint of weakness.

"We lost."

The faint sigh was heartbreaking to hear.

"I attempted to seize the opportune moment, but failed at the last hurdle. Not only did I fail to achieve anything, but I also caused the collapse of the secret realm and the loss of the virtues left by my predecessors. My sins are truly immense."

"There's nothing I can do but make amends. I've left my life's work here and set up a forbidden spell. Only one person can enter this secret realm; the secrets must not be passed on to six ears. The one who possesses the causal coordinates must be the strongest fighter in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. Only in this way can one take this item."

The words stopped abruptly.

Lu Yang narrowed his eyes, pondering: 'Interesting. The fact that this item wasn't taken means that True Monarch Feixue didn't meet the requirement?'

The strongest fighter in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm—that's the condition for taking the jade slip.

'True Lord Feixue is the number one fighter in five thousand years, yet he doesn't meet the criteria, which shows that the so-called strongest fighter is just a facade, used to deceive people.'

Soon, Lü Yang's eyes lit up:
It is the Emperor!

'The [Emperor's Blessing] can greatly enhance the combat power of a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator. What the first Demon-Taming Peak Master truly desired was someone who had been to the [Emperor's Blessing]!'

Take myself for example.

Through the [Emperor's Response], I mastered the Dao Fruit Secret Technique at the mid-Golden Core stage. Although there were some unique reasons for this, strength is strength. 'I'm afraid only cultivators who have cleared the [Emperor's Response] and obtained the [Primordial Sea of ​​Light] can take this jade slip and read its contents. On the contrary, I've long been curious why True Monarch Flying Snow, the number one cultivator in five thousand years of combat, would use this as her ritual for ascending to higher levels of cultivation.'

Now it seems that someone instructed them to do this!

Someone wanted this jade slip, and True Monarch Feixue was just that person's front man. Thinking of this, the answer had already emerged in Lü Yang's mind.

'The Holy Sect's old codger!'

After all, given Feixue Zhenjun's personality, who in the world could force her? After much thought, Lü Yang concluded that the only person who could be her was the Holy Sect's ancestor.

"pity."

Thinking of this, a look of regret appeared on Lü Yang's face: "I failed to pass the [Emperor Ying] level, so this jade slip is probably not meant for me."

However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

"Kacha!"

In an instant, accompanied by a soft click like a mechanism operating, the jade slip suddenly opened, and the blazing white light surrounding it inexplicably retreated to both sides!

Lu Yang was stunned.

Wait a minute, I didn't finish [Emperor Ying]. In fact, I even crashed [Emperor Ying] because I attracted the consciousness of the first Demon-Taming Peak Master.
Um? wrong.

Memories flooded back, giving Lü Yang a vague realization: "Was it because of the first Demon-Taming Peak Master? He seemed to have glanced at me back then."

Was it around that time?
In any case, the jade slip was now open to Lü Yang, and he figured he might as well take advantage of the freebie. So Lü Yang immediately probed the jade slip with his divine sense.

"This is."

Lü Yang was stunned.

The next second, his hand trembled as if he had grasped a red-hot iron, almost throwing the jade slip away, but then he suddenly tightened his grip.

It was as if I had grasped a rare treasure.

"good very good!"

At this moment, in a realm unseen by ordinary people, a monstrous wave suddenly arose within Lü Yang's sea of ​​consciousness—the "weight" brought about by knowledge.

Even this has been processed.

'It is the blazing white light of Dharma left behind by the World-Honored One. This light not only protected the jade slip, but also cleansed the knowledge within it before it flowed out again. Was it severing cause and effect? ​​Or some other means? In any case, it cleansed this knowledge!'

Otherwise, this knowledge would become taboo!

Moreover, these weren't just ordinary taboos. Lü Yang had no doubt that if he hadn't cleared his name, this knowledge alone would have been enough to blow his head off and force him to be reincarnated on the spot!

because--

"This is...the underworld!"

Lu Yang pressed his temples, feeling the knowledge rushing through his mind, experiencing both pain and pleasure.

The Gates of Hell, the Road to the Underworld, the Bridge of Helplessness, the Terrace of Longing for Home, the Stone of Three Lives, the Four Directions of Ghost Realms, the Palace of the Underworld Lord—this is the original blueprint of the Underworld!
"Huh? Wait a minute."

If the [Virtue-Completing Talisman] contains something so important, even if one couldn't obtain it, True Lord Feixue should have kept the position and prevented others from getting it.

But she still managed to make the deal.

Thinking of this, Lü Yang suddenly froze, then his expression changed drastically:

'not good! '

That old codger from the Holy Sect seems to be plotting against me again!
