Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 991: The Demon Slayer or the Ancestral Dragon?

The right path.

As an observer of the memory, Lü Yang fell into a deep silence. He knew why this memory had suddenly been unlocked for him.

Because of the "Way of Heaven"?

Without a doubt, the vast majority of people in this world do not understand the "Heavenly Way," and even a Great True Lord may not know the specific details.

After all, they're already in jail.

Of course, given the abilities of the Great True Lords, they should have sensed the pressure from the Heavenly Dao to some extent, but they certainly did not know its true nature.

Even Lü Yang, if it weren't for the prompt from the Book of a Hundred Lifetimes, would only know that there was an invisible and intangible rule that "Great True Monarchs are not allowed to appear in the world" that covered the entire Sea of ​​Illusion, and he would not have been able to obtain the name "Heavenly Dao," which was the key to unlocking his memories.

'Is it a dispute over the Daoist Master's path?'

Collecting his thoughts, Lü Yang looked at the fragments of memory again, then shook his head. From the perspective of future generations, the outcome of this struggle over the right path was quite obvious.

"That's wrong!"

Almost simultaneously, the young and spirited voice in the video rang out again: "In my opinion, the Heavenly Dao has at least two fatal weaknesses."

"Firstly, position."

"In your design, the size of the Heavenly Dao will certainly expand to an unimaginable extent, but its status will be no different from ours."

"In that case, as long as there are people in future generations who reach our level and then risk eternal oblivion to improve their rank at all costs, they may be able to surpass the Heavenly Dao in rank. And you all understand the absolute gap that comes with the difference in rank. What will the result be then?"

The answer is beyond doubt.

'Heavenly Dao is no match for him.' Lü Yang muttered to himself, 'The difference in rank is an absolute difference, not something that can be solved by size.'

Of course, reaching that level would be extremely difficult.

'So there's an even more serious problem.'

As Lü Yang thought of this, the voice from his memory resounded again: "If this problem can be solved by strictly limiting cultivation..."

"The second problem is the most fatal."

"【variable】."

"Within the Sea of ​​Light, the greatest variable is the possibility of survival. Everything has a glimmer of hope. This is an unshakable truth, and all of you fellow Daoists should be aware of it."

Just then, the voice that had previously proposed the "Heavenly Way" finally spoke up: "This is not a problem. As long as we bring the 'variables' into the 'Heavenly Way,' there will be no problem. We are not against the emergence of 'variables,' but rather we want to manipulate them and bring them under our control."

"Control?"

The young voice laughed: "Even if we take a step back and assume that you have incorporated the [variables] into the [Heavenly Dao], thus preventing someone from overthrowing the rule of the [Heavenly Dao],..."

"But what about the [Heavenly Dao] itself?"

"Variables will never disappear. Under the influence of these variables, will we, the eternal and unchanging rulers of the Heavenly Dao, also one day fall from grace?"

"That's right. By then, the variables may not be able to overthrow the Heavenly Dao, but while the Heavenly Dao remains unchanged, we, the Lords of the Heavenly Dao, can change it!"

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Countless thoughts intertwined in the fragments of memory, even blurring the imagery; clearly, those words resonated with everyone present.

Looking at it this way, the "Way of Heaven" doesn't work.

Whether the path of Heaven is correct or not is a trivial matter, but whether one's own position is stable is a matter of principle!

Seeing this, the young voice immediately pressed on: "In comparison, the Other Shore does not have these troubles. We can use this to climb to a higher level. A higher level is absolutely overwhelming for those below, enough to eliminate any variables. We will only stand at the very peak of the Sea of ​​Light forever."

Faced with this proposal, the person who had remained silent until now finally spoke up:

“That’s true.” “You’re really thinking of us, Chu Sheng. Compared to the Heavenly Dao, the Other Shore is a safer option. You are indeed a kind and honest person.”

After he finished speaking, all was silent.

After a long time, the various entities in the memory provided the answer, and as Lü Yang had expected, [Heavenly Dao] was completely defeated, and [Other Shore] won.

The memory stops abruptly.

Lu Yang withdrew his consciousness and sat quietly inside the [Nourishing Life Master], his brows furrowed as he pondered a crucial question:

Who was the Dao Lord who spoke last?

'Could he be a shill hired by the Holy Sect's founder? They actually believe he's a good person; such a fool probably wouldn't last a day in the Holy Sect.'

Or was it simply that the Holy Ancestor's image was cultivated so well back then?

Not surprising.

After all, this seems to be a basic practice of the Holy Sect. Back then, wasn't Angxiao a well-known good person in the Immortal Pivot? It can only be said that the superiors set an example for the subordinates.

'It seems that the [Other Shore] has brought immense benefits to the Holy Sect's patriarch. I knew it! The Holy Sect's patriarch didn't cultivate the Three Foundations Dao; among Dao Lords, he should be considered relatively young, not an absolute relic. How did he manage to overtake others and become the strongest Dao Lord?'

All secrets lie on the other side.

Thinking of this, a new question sprouted in Lü Yang's mind: "Speaking of which, this memory doesn't seem like something that someone at the level of the Old Dragon Lord could hear."

Besides, who is the Dao Lord who wasn't invited?

The fact that this Dao Lord was ostracized by other Dao Lords indicates that the final outcome will definitely not be good—so, so far, which Dao Lords are in a bad situation?

If we consider the existing Dao Lords—

'The God of Worship and the Ancestral Dragon!'

Needless to say, Si Chong's Dharma Body was shattered, and he died a very small death. Zu Long was also suppressed by the four dogs of the Immortal Pivot, and his situation was equally miserable.

There are two possibilities.

After a long silence, Lü Yang came to a conclusion: "Either the Ancestral Dragon was present and the Sichong was not, or the Ancestral Dragon was not present but the Sichong was!"

It may sound like nonsense, but it is not.

'If Zu Long was present but Si Chong wasn't, then it doesn't matter. After all, judging from the memories, Si Chong at that time was probably quite powerful.'

The Dharma Body controls Yin and Yang.

While others have only one path, he has two, making him likely the strongest. Therefore, it's only natural that the other Dao Lords would ostracize him.

However, this also has its problems.

That is the Dao Lord of Magic Power and the Dao Lord of Magic Arts. The three foundations have always worked together. Other Dao Lords ostracize the Sorcerer. Would they also ostracize the Sorcerer?
'Therefore, there is another possibility: that the spirit medium was present, but the ancestral dragon was not.'

'If that's the case, then there's a big problem!'

This leads to a completely new possibility: if the Ancestral Dragon was not present, why does the Old Dragon Lord still have this part in his memory?
Was the First Emperor spying on us?
Besides, why did the other Daoist masters want to exclude the Ancestral Dragon? Excluding the Si Chong could be explained by the fact that the Si Chong was the strongest, but what were the reasons for excluding the Ancestral Dragon?
A chill ran through Lü Yang in an instant: 'Unless... the topic they're discussing is related to the Ancestral Dragon, which is why they can't let the Ancestral Dragon know. [Heavenly Dao] and [The Other Shore]? These two things couldn't be created out of thin air, could they? Even if they had the technology, they'd need the finest materials.'

Lü Yang immediately recalled what he had heard the first Dan Ding Peak Master say to the Old Dragon Lord:
'Since we're going to refine the best elixir in the world, we naturally need the best materials. The ancestral dragon's legacy—the ancestral dragon itself is the best material in the world!'

Damn it!
'They intend to refine the Ancestral Dragon, forging it into the foundation of the Heavenly Dao or the Other Shore? The Ancestral Dragon is wary of this, hence its clandestine surveillance?'

This is purely speculation.

To put it bluntly, this conclusion is based on absolute malice, and may even be pure speculation. But since it was derived this way—

That means there's a possibility!
