Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 969 Deceiving the Heavens and Crossing the Sea: The World Honored One's Scheme!
Although he was momentarily stunned, Lü Yang quickly regained his composure and smoothly switched his thoughts to consider coping strategies.

No other reason than numbness.

Plans often go awry, a common occurrence in his life, so this unexpected situation was nothing out of the ordinary for him.

Moreover, at this point, neither the "Road to the Underworld" nor the "Bridge of Helplessness" really matter, because the Holy Ancestor first shot the arrow and then drew the target, clearly indicating that he has his sights set on the Underworld. Under these circumstances, no matter what methods I use, it is almost impossible to escape his discerning eyes.

What should we do?

Giving up is not in Lü Yang's nature. Unless his Dao heart is broken by the unity of the masses, or he is caught by the Holy Sect's patriarch, he will continue to struggle.

Moreover, he also has an angel investor.

That was the World Honored One!
'Forcing me to accept a united front was certainly an attempt to take advantage of the situation, but the key to his investment in me was the very thing I was about to do.'

'Therefore, unity of purpose will definitely be effective.'

'The World-Honored One is not the kind of person who is short-sighted and neglects the essential for the trivial. The realization of the [Other Shore Collapse Plan] is more important than saving me.'

In this respect, Lü Yang believed in the Buddha.

'From this perspective, the hope for breaking the deadlock may lie in the dialogue with the first Demon-Taming Peak Master, which the World Honored One shared with me through the unity of all people.'

With this in mind, Lü Yang immediately focused his mind and continued to listen to the conversation.

At the same time, the first Demon-Taming Peak Master in the monk's room took out a jade slip, and then lightly moved his fingers to project a scene into the void.

Lü Yang recognized this thing.

'The design of the Underworld is far from perfect compared to the one in the [Virtue-Completing Talisman], and some details even contain errors and omissions.'

Immediately afterwards, the first Demon-Taming Peak Master said:
"Senior Brother Wanbao, what do you think?"

Upon hearing this, the World Honored One remained silent for a moment before saying quietly, "The design of the Bridge of Helplessness itself is not the problem; the problem lies in its arrangement."

"You didn't pair the [Road to the Underworld] and the [Bridge of Helplessness] together. They don't interfere with each other and don't form a whole, which is why the problem arose. As for the method of integration, it's quite simple; it only requires one taboo knowledge—taboo knowledge related to the [Other Shore]."

The words stopped abruptly.

Because the video and audio of the conversation were cut off, Lü Yang's vision suddenly went completely black, and it wasn't until a moment later that it was restored.

"Damn it!" Lu Yang cursed inwardly.

Stingy World Honored One!
Lu Yang, who thought he could get a piece of forbidden knowledge for free, immediately complained inwardly, even though he knew that the World Honored One did this not because he was stingy.

Rather, it was because if this forbidden knowledge were to be leaked out and he were to hear it, he would inevitably reveal a flaw, which would alert the Holy Sect's patriarch, who was always watching this place, to the anomaly. That's why it had to be cut off. But understanding was one thing, but that didn't stop Lü Yang from cursing the World Honored One in his heart.

After all, this was a last resort.

If he didn't curse a few times in his heart, he was afraid he would groan out loud. In fact, he even began to think that the Buddha was handsome and kind.

'The condition is worsening.'

Although the Dao Heart Perfection was still in operation, the long-term maintenance of a state of unity among all people, along with the high concentration of World Honored One's pollution, still had some impact on Lü Yang.

Lü Yang rallied his spirits and continued listening.

"I see, I understand now, thank you, Senior Brother Wanbao!"

The first Demon-Taming Peak Master clapped his hands excitedly and laughed, "With this forbidden knowledge, I can now fuse all the components of the Underworld into one!"

"Ah, but..."

At this point, the first Demon-Taming Peak Master suddenly changed the subject: "Besides the [Bridge of Helplessness], there is another matter I would like to ask you, Senior Brother."

"Speak freely," the Buddha said with a smile.

"In fact, the suggestion made by the Dao Lords before, to cover the underworld with the mortal world in order to temporarily alleviate the collapse of the other shore, is not bad."

“But I have a new plan.” At this point, the first Demon-Taming Peak Master’s expression became extremely excited: “I think that adding it to the mortal world can only alleviate the collapse of the other shore in a short period of time.”

"This won't solve the problem; it'll only postpone it. But I have a solution. If I place the underworld beneath the mortal realm, creating a reversed dimension, and combine that with my design, I think I might be able to completely eradicate the problem of the afterlife!"

The first Demon-Taming Peak Master recounted the story with great excitement.

Before him, the Buddha listened with a smile, yet deep within that compassionate face and eyes overflowing with Buddha's light lay endless coldness.

'I shouldn't have said that.'

'Why should I say this? You demon-taming creatures, do you really think that we, the Holy Sect, are a force with great love, concerned for all living beings in the Sea of ​​Light?'

'That's just plain stupid.'

'Incurable.'

He stared intently at the first Demon-Taming Peak Master until finally speaking, "Good idea, but what does it have to do with me?"

"Of course it does matter!"

The first Demon-Taming Peak Master declared in a resounding voice, "Although I wish to cover the Underworld beneath the mortal realm, my abilities are limited, and I truly lack the means to do so."

"But you're different, senior brother."

At this point, even a look of respect appeared on the face of the first Demon-Taming Peak Master: "Back then, wasn't it you, Senior Brother, who helped me reach the Foundation Establishment stage?"

It was a household name.

This single sentence nearly made Lü Yang, who was secretly eavesdropping, lose his composure: 'The Foundation Establishment Realm... a dimension beyond the present world was actually created by the World Honored One?!'

At the same time, the first Demon-Taming Peak Master was still lamenting: "With the establishment of the Foundation Establishment Realm, cultivators who want to enter the Dao will no longer need to directly step into the [Sea of ​​Bitterness] from the mortal world. Instead, they can go to the Foundation Establishment Realm first and then go to the [Sea of ​​Bitterness]. The difficulty of sensing the fruit position and the Great Dao will be greatly reduced."

"In addition, the Foundation Establishment Realm has also strengthened the present world and prevented the other shore from collapsing. It has been 60,000 years now, hasn't it? Senior Brother Wanbao has truly done immeasurable good deeds."

"This is simply a great achievement!"

In conclusion, the first Demon-Taming Peak Master laughed and said, "When you did such a thing, Senior Brother Wanbao, it really surprised even the Dao Lord."

"Nothing special."

The Buddha said calmly, "I will give you time; you will be able to figure it out yourself."

"But we're out of time."

The first Demon-Taming Peak Master shook his head: "In short, I would like to ask Senior Brother Wanbao to teach me the method of building a Foundation Establishment Realm, the [Method of Plane Creation]."

After he finished speaking, he stood up and gave a solemn bow.

Meanwhile, outside the monks' quarters.

Having heard the whole story through the united efforts of everyone, Lü Yang fell into deep thought. He knew the outcome very well: the World Honored One would definitely give it away in the end.

Because the underworld was established.

'【Method for Creating Planes】, a plane, a dimension? Foundation Establishment Realm. I never imagined such a thing existed. Is it also used to reinforce the mortal world?'

In an instant, Lü Yang suddenly realized:

'The Underworld is just one option. The Foundation Establishment Realm is also the foundation for stabilizing the present world. Destroying it is no different from destroying the Underworld!'

Concealing the truth!

Thinking this through, Lü Yang finally understood the World Honored One's scheme: 'The Underworld is merely a pretext, used to mislead the Holy Sect's patriarch into drawing incorrect conclusions!'

The plank road is built openly, but Chen Cang is buried secretly!
"His earlier warning against approaching the first Demon-Taming Peak Master was a veiled suggestion that the Underworld was not a viable option; I should abandon it and seek another path!"

While the Holy Sect's patriarch was focused on the first Demon-Taming Peak Master and the Underworld, they tampered with the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators. This was their only hope for breaking the deadlock!
