Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 962 Five Thousand Years Ago
In the dim universe, Lü Yang descended silently, riding a beam of blazing white light, and looked down at the dense, intricate web of cause and effect beneath his feet.

"call"

Only at this moment did Lü Yang's high spirits ease, and the fear that he had previously suppressed deep in his heart belatedly surfaced.

'What the hell did I do?'

'Provoking the Holy Sect's patriarch? I'm fucking awesome. I'm going to die, I'm going to die. Wouldn't it be better to keep quiet and make a fortune? Why do I have to be so foul-mouthed?'

Lu Yang patted his chest, calming his breathing and bringing back his composure, which had been inflated by his recent attainment of the Great True Lord realm: 'Calm down. Only calm people can accomplish great things. In any case, I'm still safe now. The rest is up to me to make my move.'

His self-awareness remains very clear.

Because one thing is undeniable: although he made grand pronouncements and uttered wild claims, it doesn't change the fact that he was running away.

This is a game of hide-and-seek.

Lu Yang looked up at the dim universe around him, and suddenly felt a pang of curiosity: 'Speaking of which, where exactly is this vast network of cause and effect?'

The underworld, the mortal world, the Foundation Establishment realm, the sea of ​​suffering, the other shore—Lu Yang had either been to these places or seen them, but the existence of the Great Net of Cause and Effect was still completely beyond his knowledge. He was 100% certain that the Great Net of Cause and Effect was not some illusory concept, but a real existence.

But where does it exist?

'Even a Foundation Establishment cultivator can sense this place, and a Golden Core cultivator has even greater authority, but only [city wall soil] allows entry.'

Just as Lü Yang was pondering.

"Boom!"

In an instant, the once calm web of cause and effect began to tremble, as if some immeasurable weight was pressing down on it.

'not good.'

Lu Yang immediately realized something was wrong. He looked up at the sky and felt as if a great force was descending from some direction in the infinite distance.

'The Holy Ancestor is investigating cause and effect!'

Lu Yang took a deep breath, daring not to hesitate any longer, and immediately made a hand seal. The [Divine Thunder] in his hand, which simulated the [City Wall Soil], immediately shone brightly.

Outside the [Divine Thunder], the three rings formed by the overlord-level Dao weapon [Lord of the State] were rotating. The light of one of the rings suddenly dimmed, and in its place, a strong force of causal anchoring suddenly erupted from the position.

'Time anchored, five thousand years ago!'

During this journey of cause and effect, Lü Yang abandoned the [Time-Shifting and World-Changing Ritual], which he had previously relied on as an extension of his own arm, since it was something that the World-Honored One had tampered with.

'One should always be wary of others, especially the World-Honored One.'

Although the [Time-Shifting and World-Changing Ritual] comes at almost no cost, the more this is the case, the more uneasy Lü Yang becomes, fearing that the World-Honored One might trick him into something much worse.

Therefore, he preferred to give up this priceless treasure and instead use the simulated "city wall soil" to change the cause and effect, since the latter was at least more worthy of his trust.

Of course, this also creates defects.

"The three rings of the [Lord of the State] will break with each passage I make. I can only travel to a maximum of three points in time on this journey."

One of them must be used to return to the present world and prevent oneself from getting lost in the realm of cause and effect.

In other words, he only has two chances.

'It was used for the first time five thousand years ago, and the second time to a point in time that could cause the collapse of the Underworld. It's definitely enough, but there's no room for error.'

Above the empty net of cause and effect, beams of colorful light flowed and splashed from Lü Yang's palms, only to be gradually gathered back by his ten fingers, as if lighting a candle. With a single point of his finger, he placed it at the top of the colorful light, causing a point of white light to suddenly emerge.

[The consequences of changing times and worlds!]
Using pine and cypress wood as the core, the lamplight is lit, illuminating the era to be reached, and then the city wall soil anchors the corresponding cause and effect—

"Go!"

Just before that gaze from the infinitely distant land broke through the blockade and landed on the causal web, Lü Yang's figure had already vanished in a flash of white light. A moment later, the gaze returned.

However, all that could be seen was an endless expanse of cause and effect history, like a gigantic maze that could not be fully explored at a glance.

Finding a person in this vast and countless history of cause and effect is like finding a needle in a haystack. Although it is not impossible, one must withdraw the great power projected on the underworld and focus all one's attention on the great web of cause and effect; otherwise, one can only search one by one.

But the underworld
Looking down at the vast web of cause and effect, the majestic gaze fell into a brief silence. After a long while, it seemed to have made a decision, and its gaze disappeared from the spot.

Five thousand years ago, the scene of cause and effect.

North of the river, a sea of ​​clouds stretches to the sky.

With a flash of white light, a tall and handsome young man in a black robe stepped out, one hand behind his back, and then looked up at the boundless sky.

“The person whose name was called came up to me.”

Familiar words came from the stage, but it was a completely unfamiliar voice. Lu Yang glanced at it and found that it was a disciple of the Holy Sect whom he had never seen before.

"That's right, five thousand years ago, it couldn't have been Liu Xin's senior brother."

'I didn't expect it to be here.'

Lu Yang sighed. Five thousand years ago, his original body did not exist, so he could only anchor the cause and effect of the location, and the result was that he returned to the Holy Sect.

Surrounded by a bustling crowd, no one noticed his presence. Lü Yang strolled along, quickly leaving the Holy Sect. Mountains, rivers, sun, and moon seemed to revolve beneath his feet. With a single step, he traveled from Jiangbei to overseas, finally stopping at a remote island.

"I cannot move around freely."

Fortunately, we were prepared.

Lu Yang found a cave on the island, entered it, sealed the energy and karma within, and then flicked his sleeves to summon Chongguang and the Primordial Heavenly Demon.

The inner demon is formless and intangible, changing at will.

This is the most reliable method for Lü Yang in the realm of cause and effect, since strength is not the most important factor in these realms of cause and effect that symbolize the past.

The important thing is the "traces".

'I'm too strong now,' Lü Yang thought to himself.

Every Grand True Monarch in the late Golden Core stage is a variable in the mortal world; their every move and thought can influence the course of the mortal world.

Therefore, before the Dao Lord opened the Great True Lord version, every Great True Lord in the world had their own prison, even the Gangxing Preaching True Lord had one, which shows how important the Great True Lord was. And this importance is even more evident in the scene of cause and effect.

The key is the Dharmakaya path.

'My current form is already that of a Great True Lord of the Dharma Body Dao. If I were to use magical power exceeding the Foundation Establishment level, it would inevitably be sensed by the Dharma Body Dao within the causal landscape.'

That will be the end of it.

How could two Dharma bodies exist simultaneously in one era? It's not the "Book of a Hundred Lifetimes." Therefore, the only result is the shattering of the causal landscape.

Therefore, in many cases, the stronger one's power, the more difficult it is to alter cause and effect.

It depends more on your methods and whether you can survive.

'Fortunately, I am different from the orthodox Dharma Body Dao Great True Lord; I am not just a brute who only knows how to throw punches and kicks. Not only am I alive, but I am also very good at living.'

Besides Chongguang and the Primordial Heavenly Demon, Lü Yang also has the Righteous Path Banner, whose members include Ancestor Tingyou, True Man of Demon Slaying, Suohuan, and even Empress Xiao. These individuals have all been whitewashed by the [Book of a Hundred Lifetimes], without cause or effect. Therefore, their actions within this realm of cause and effect are far less constrained than his.

So--

How can I get to see the Buddha and hitch a ride with him?
