Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 967 A Battle of Cause and Effect!

At this moment, Lü Yang's thoughts continued to race.

Unlike five thousand years ago, he did not leave the spot quickly, nor did he reveal any aura. He simply quietly surveyed his surroundings.

'I am now a novice monk.'

Unlike before, this time when he entered the realm of cause and effect, he actually changed his appearance and identity. This strange phenomenon immediately alerted Lü Yang.

Why is this happening?

'Was this arranged by the Buddha? At this point in time, the Buddha shouldn't be trying to harm me by saying this. Is disguising myself as a novice monk a way to protect me?'

Lü Yang was not surprised to find himself in the Pure Land. After all, he had come on the tide of time of the World Honored One. Just like when he arrived five thousand years ago, his first stop was the Holy Sect. This time, having arrived seventy thousand years ago, his first stop should be the Pure Land, which is related to the World Honored One.
'Huh? Oh no!'

Lu Yang suddenly realized that this matter was not profound. With his cultivation, he could deduce it. How could the Holy Sect's patriarch not be able to deduce it?
'The Holy Ancestor is currently keeping a close eye on the Pure Land.'

Not only the Pure Land of 70,000 years ago, but probably all the Pure Lands in all the surrounding time periods centered on this point in time 70,000 years ago are in his sight!

The encirclement has tightened even further!

From 70,000 years ago, it has become a pristine land. How long has it been? With just one move, it almost drove itself into a desperate situation!
If I was like a wave in a vast ocean in the net of cause and effect before, impossible to trace, then I am now like a fish in a pond. My secrecy has greatly decreased, and I would probably be discovered immediately if I made the slightest move, and be caught and refined in an instant!
That's why I'm a novice monk.

'If I were to manifest my true form, it would be like a goldfish suddenly appearing out of nowhere in a pond full of red fish—obvious beyond belief, and with nowhere to hide.'

'The World-Honored One has already saved me.'

'At least turning me into this novice monk's appearance is equivalent to turning me into a red fish, allowing me to blend perfectly into this pond.'

Ok?
No! It's not perfect yet!
In an instant, even with Lü Yang's composure, an uncontrollable surge of shock and anger appeared in his eyes: 'A united front? I didn't have a united front!'

With everyone united as one, this is the true essence of a pure land!

Without this, no matter how well you disguise yourself, people will still see through your disguise.

To use the same analogy, in this pristine pond full of red fish, I currently only resemble a red fish; upon closer inspection, there are still differences.

'The difference isn't small, but it's not huge either. At least, the Holy Sect's patriarch wouldn't easily notice it. But given my current situation, if the Holy Sect's patriarch continues investigating, he'll find out sooner or later, unless I join the united front and try to get away with it.'

But what about joining the united front?
What the hell is the difference between that and being dead? It's even worse than being dead, Venerable One! Was this also within your expectations? Are you taking advantage of my misfortune?
'World Honored One! World Honored One!!!'

Lu Yang immediately cursed in his mind.
However, despite the criticism, the problem still needs to be solved—with the Holy Ancestor eyeing us from the front and the World Honored One taking advantage of our misfortune from behind, what should we do?
at this time.

"when--!"

Another clear bell rang out, followed by a voice drifting from afar: "The Demon-Taming Peak Master of the Holy Sect has come to the Pure Land to seek friends and discuss the Dao."

"Senior Brother Wanbao, aren't you coming down to see me?"

His voice carried a hint of laughter, even a touch of ease and joy.

But on the other side, Lü Yang's blood ran cold: 'How could this be? The first Demon-Taming Peak Master, the World Honored One, said that the Old Immortal was always watching this one.'

His arrival means that even the Holy Ancestor has come to take notice!

what is this?
'.bait.'

A vivid metaphor flashed through Lü Yang's mind. That's right, this was the bait that the Holy Sect's founder used to find his own fish in the Pure Land!
'This period was the first generation of Demon-Taming Peak Master. Other periods could have been different people. Everyone who visited the Pure Land 70,000 years ago became bait for the Holy Sect's founder. I'm even considered lucky. The bait was the first generation of Demon-Taming Peak Master. I know he has a problem.' No, it wasn't just luck.

'It is the World-Honored One.'

Lu Yang lowered his eyelids. How could a Dao Lord possibly have luck in his hands? The only one capable of creating an accident in front of a Dao Lord could be another Dao Lord!
'The World-Honored One interfered with the great web of cause and effect.'

"The question of the first Demon-Taming Peak Master was told to me personally by the World Honored One, so my being placed at this point in time is most likely also intentionally orchestrated by the World Honored One."

'This is to protect me.'

Because he received a hint beforehand, he was able to realize the bait set by the Holy Ancestor; otherwise, he might have taken the bait without even realizing it.

However at the same time—

'This is a trap for me!'

The first Demon-Taming Peak Master is right before my eyes. If I rashly try to escape, I will only be discovered faster. There is no way to escape. The only option left is:

'United as one!'

"This is forcing me to accept the idea of ​​everyone being of one mind, otherwise the Holy Sect's patriarch will find out. And yet, I have no choice but to grit my teeth and bear this loss."

Beast!
Lu Yang couldn't help but curse in his heart again, but as the aura of the first Demon-Taming Peak Master drew closer, he dared not hesitate any longer. He immediately began to recite the "Mahayana Sutra of True Enlightenment". Gradually, the feeling of unity among all people that he had experienced before entered his thoughts, allowing him to calm down.

"Alas"

In an instant, a compassionate smile appeared on Lü Yang's face, with only the slight stiffness at the corners of his mouth and a hint of strangeness in his eyes indicating his condition.

He has experience in this area.

'In my previous life in Tianfu, I was possessed by the World-Honored One. The so-called unity of all people is not something that can be achieved overnight, especially for someone like me with a perfected Dao heart.'

Although after joining the united front, Lü Yang could clearly sense that his perfect Dao heart was being worn away little by little, this would eventually take some time. As long as he withdrew before his Dao heart collapsed, he could still maintain his self-control, at most leaving him with some occasional nausea as a side effect.

However, Lü Yang dared not relax in the slightest.

The reason is simple: Heaven knows how long the Holy Ancestor will search? As long as the Holy Ancestor doesn't give up, he will never be able to escape the unity of the masses.

Given time, it will eventually collapse!
Thinking of this, Lü Yang's mood grew increasingly heavy: 'This is like boiling a frog in lukewarm water! The Holy Ancestor is being ruthless, and the World Honored One is no pushover either.'

This is a battle of cause and effect!
The Holy Sect's patriarch gradually narrowed the encirclement, while the World Honored One helped him hide from the Holy Sect's patriarch's search, but also wanted to convert him.

One's own situation, experiences, and actions within the web of cause and effect are all the result of a battle between the two sides.

Formless and intangible, indescribable, yet more terrifying than any battle he had ever witnessed before, Lü Yang's heart grew increasingly cold, as if he had fallen into an abyss.

'Like walking on thin ice.'

Just then, Lü Yang suddenly had a thought.

But then the temple gate was pushed open, and a dashing young man dressed in a feather cloak strode in, his eyes seemingly filled with the flickering of divine runes.

The first Demon-Taming Peak Master has arrived.
