Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 956 Return, Now!
Leave behind the realm of cause and effect.

And the next second after he left, he saw the causal scene of his meeting with the Buddha suddenly burst and disappear like a dream bubble.

Both cause and effect are severed, leaving no trace.

'He's waiting for me.'

In that instant, Lü Yang realized: 'The World Honored One had actually foreseen that I would use the [Time-Shifting Ritual] to see him again.'

'So he deliberately preserved this karmic connection until he met me, only then completely severing it. Now, even if I wanted to see him again and return to that point in time, I wouldn't see anything. And this is just the World Honored One! How come these Dao Lords are playing such elaborate tricks?'

Lü Yang couldn't help but scratch his head.

"Five thousand years ago, I remember Angxiao saying that was the time when the World-Honored One attained enlightenment, a momentous event that could be considered the greatest transformation of cause and effect in history."

That makes a lot of sense.

'The Buddha's enlightenment was clearly approved by the leaders of all schools of thought. By using his karma to act quietly, no one would notice an ant like me.'

Thinking of this, Lü Yang was suddenly startled:
'Thinking about it carefully, isn't this too much of a coincidence?'

'This is the biggest change of cause and effect in history, and also the biggest flaw left in the great web of cause and effect, which anyone can use to secretly cause trouble.'

'Could this have been left behind by the Buddha on purpose?'

'My "Other Shore Collapse Plan" is based on "City Wall Soil," but besides me, isn't there anyone else who can use this move?'

Of course there are! For example, the Buddha himself.

"Putting everything else aside, if the World-Honored One could use the 'city wall soil' as the core to complete the 'earthly Buddha realm,' and falsely possess a nascent soul, he certainly could do the same!"

"The 'Other Shore Collapse Plan'—what I can do, the World Honored One also has the potential to do someday. Could it be that this was originally part of the World Honored One's plan, and I just acted first? It's not impossible! The World Honored One's explanation just now didn't seem like something he'd come up with on the spot."

It's obvious that this was premeditated!
'From this perspective, although the Holy Ancestor has a handle on him, making him arguably the weakest among the Dao Lords, the World Honored One clearly has no intention of sitting idly by and waiting for his demise.'

'He's quite capable too!'

Lu Yang wasn't surprised by this, after all, this was the underlying logic of this godforsaken place: if you want to survive, you have to survive first!
And it has to be a big job.

Sticking to old ways and only knowing how to bury oneself in cultivation is the ancient way, and what is the fate of the ancient way? Just look at the group of powerful Dao True Lords in the Star Palace.

".That's all."

Lu Yang assessed his condition; his divine sense was nearly exhausted, and his magical power was mostly depleted. Fortunately, he had achieved all his goals on this karmic journey.

'But that's all. The [Time-Shifting Ritual] has neither a ritual for attaining higher rank nor a corresponding secret method for achieving enlightenment. Therefore, the time it can rewind is very limited, at least not reaching five thousand years ago. Moreover, it cannot alter too much karmic debt. In truth, its power is just so-so.'

I still have to rely on myself!
Upon realizing this, Lü Yang immediately activated the "Time-Shifting Ritual," and his consciousness returned to the present world under the protection of infinite colorful light, thus being freed from the great net of cause and effect.

[The Master of Nourishing Life].

As the colorful light faded, Lü Yang's figure reappeared. He opened his eyes, and wherever his gaze fell, it seemed as if a bolt of lightning flashed across the void.

The next second, he looked at the present world, his face showing excitement:
"It's now!"

The Underworld, [the Hidden Mystery Palace of Enlightenment].

[Angxiao] stood with his hands behind his back, his narrow eyes, the only part not obscured by the smoke, slightly narrowed as he thoughtfully surveyed the Tianfu battlefield.

Lu Yang's time traversing cause and effect was buried within cause and effect. In the present world, he had only just survived the curse of the "Life-Buying Money". In order to escape the further curse of the Taiyin Immortal Venerable, he directly entered the "Remnant Consciousness of Heaven and Man" and escaped death. It was all less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

".interesting."

【Angxiao】sighed with interest as he slowly walked out of the mansion and arrived directly in front of 【Gate of Hell】.

Immediately afterwards, he raised his hand, flicked his fingers, and gently tapped down. "Thump!"

A dull, deafening roar exploded instantly at the Gates of Hell. The Gates of Hell, which originally only accepted souls, was now wide open to him!
If Lü Yang were here, he would be greatly surprised, because the way Angxiao attained enlightenment in this life was completely different from the previous one. In the previous life, Angxiao had to fight against many heroes and expand the Underworld to the entire Sea of ​​Dark Light before he could get the chance to enter the Underworld.

However, this life is different.

[Angxiao] completely ignored the real world, and did not even manifest a form in the real world. He simply walked into the [Gate of Hell] in an ordinary way.

unobstructed.

He expanded the Underworld because in his previous life he left the Underworld, was rejected by it, and his strength had plummeted, leaving him with no other choice.

Now, he is undoubtedly at the pinnacle of his life, so why should he expand the Underworld? Even if he walked into the Underworld openly, the Underworld would not be able to find him! As the barrier of perception spread, the Underworld even regarded him as one of the undead, without the slightest resistance.

At the same time, the energy of [Angxiao] is also rising.

【White Wax Gold】, 【Covered Lamp Fire】, 【Long Flowing Water】, 【Sand in Soil】, 【Great Forest Wood】—the five elements transformed into a five-colored halo behind his head.

And beneath his feet, a grand road slowly emerged.

The Five Elements are perfected, and emptiness proves the Great Dao!
In this field, [Angxiao] has undoubtedly gone further than Taiyin Immortal Venerable; at least [Quzhi] is far more complete than [Jizhongjin].

When the two are combined, that is the ultimate path!

Below the Golden Core Perfection, the ultimate limit of the Great Dao of the Sea of ​​Light in the Void is that even the current Dao Lord in that distant golden age was only at this level!

"really interesting."

[Angxiao] paced back and forth in the underworld, pondering: 'My karma has been altered; so that's what caused my inexplicable emotions back then.'

'Someone is using [City Wall Soil] to alter the cause and change the effect.'

Now that things have come to this, that past has been transformed into forbidden knowledge. Although it is very weak, at most it can only cause the thoughts of a Qi Refining cultivator to stagnate.

Even a True Person in the early stages of Foundation Establishment can withstand it.

However, in any case, its essence is "taboo".

Being able to do this is also a testament to strength. After all, in this wretched place, if you can't even glean some forbidden knowledge, it just means you're not fit to survive.

"Let me see."

Instead of rushing to let Quzhi devour the other five elemental positions and attack the core of the Underworld, Angxiao stopped halfway and waited leisurely.

'Master of Calamity. His [City Wall Soil] Dao Fruit Secret Technique still requires [Covering Lamp Fire].'

'I've already drawn his attention; now it's up to him to see. After all, he's the one who can make the World Honored One make a move; he should be able to put on a good show for me.'

He knew very well that if he continued, he would inevitably fail.

The underworld has an owner.

"I want to achieve enlightenment, but I still need a breakthrough. Immortal Lord who controls tribulations and karmic trials, what can you do? Let me see what great things you can accomplish."

With this thought in mind, [Angxiao] looked up.

Almost simultaneously, Lü Yang within the [Nourishing Life Master] also suddenly sensed something, a serious expression appearing on his face: "They've arrived. Even earlier than expected!"

Rumble!
At this moment, above the Sea of ​​Bitterness, a thought descended from an infinitely high and distant place; it was none other than the gaze cast down from the Other Shore by the Dao Lord!

As far as the eye can see, all is silent.

In the previous life, the Dao Lords waited until [Angxiao] attacked the core of the Underworld before making their move. However, in this life, they made their move ahead of time!
