Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 994 Which lord wants to harm me?
The Holy Sect's founder was too ruthless.

At this moment, Lü Yang had a complete understanding of Mu Changsheng's schemes and his overall plan, even more so than Mu Changsheng himself.

After all, Mu Changsheng was only a lower-level cultivator.

His plan only extends to "No Heaven," which, while impressive, is still limited to lower levels, and there are some aspects of the plan that he cannot see or understand.

'In Mu Changsheng's plan, his soul's reincarnation is actually normal, since he is already dead. Therefore, his goal is to use the [Eternal Flowing Water] to nurture [Wuyoutian], seal off all the True Lords in the world in the future, and seek an opportunity for his reincarnation and ascension to the throne. There's nothing wrong with that.'

From a foundation-building perspective, this is already the limit.

However, viewed from a higher perspective, beyond the perspective of an ordinary True Lord, from the perspective of a Great True Lord, there is another layer of arrangement surrounding him.

The ritual implements within the "Long Flowing Water" (a ritual vessel).

'Under the scheme of the person behind the scenes, Mu Changsheng's soul shouldn't have been reincarnated, but rather remained within the [Long Flowing Water] to quietly develop.'

'And in the end, when Mu Changsheng is born in [Wuyoutian], he should also be able to attain [Changliushui] and become the Sixth Dragon Lord. If he operates properly, he can seal off all the True Lords in the world, becoming the only True Lord of this era, and obtaining a perfect environment where he is almost unhindered!'

This is what the person behind the scenes was thinking.

As for who this person behind the scenes is, Lü Yang has a guess. It is nothing more than the person he sensed before who used the heavens to observe Mu Changsheng.

Regardless of who it is.

'Judging from the fact that the Holy Sect's patriarch personally intervened, forcibly capturing Mu Changsheng's soul and disrupting the ritual, this arrangement must have been very important.'

'Who could have orchestrated such a scheme?'

'It can't be the Dao Lord. The Dao Lord's methods are far more sophisticated. Even the World Honored One directly manipulated the Great Net of Cause and Effect. This is far too superficial.'

Great True Lord?
'Which Great True Lord could orchestrate a scheme involving Mu Changsheng with the help of the Heavenly Emperor, and still alarm the Holy Sect's patriarch? The Heavenly Emperor also has a close relationship with the Ancestral Dragon.'

As Lü Yang pondered and deduced the cause and effect, his unparalleled talent in intrigue and scheming was beyond doubt. Before long, a realization dawned on him:
'The first generation Dan Ding Peak Master.'

Based on the available intelligence, only the first Dan Ding Peak Master meets all of the above conditions, so it is highly likely that he is still alive today!
Thinking this, Lü Yang was startled by his own conjecture: 'If the first Dan Ding Peak Master is still alive, then he is very likely with the Ancestral Dragon. Is he still refining that Nascent Soul Pill? Did he succeed? Is it really true that as long as one takes it, one can become a Nascent Soul Dao Master?'

For a moment, Lü Yang was in a state of utter confusion.

However, he quickly regained his composure: 'No, even the first Dan Ding Peak Master might not be alive. Mu Changsheng's soul was seized five thousand years ago.'

If the first Dan Ding Peak Master were still alive, wouldn't he have done nothing?

'A contingency plan left behind before his death? In any case, even if the first Dan Ding Peak Master were truly alive, he would certainly be unable to interfere with the outside world.'

Lü Yang drew a conclusion.

'Interesting. Could the birth of the Sixth Dragon Lord possibly affect the seal of the Ancestral Dragon? What was the original Dan Ding Peak Master's objective in orchestrating this?'

Of course, more importantly-

'The Holy Ancestor did not want this to happen!'

That's the key point. After all, the more the Holy Sect's founder doesn't want something to happen, the more I need to help him out! I need to find a way to cause him some trouble!
Upon realizing this, Lü Yang immediately formed a hand seal.

[The observer outside the drama] fully activated and elevated Mu Changsheng's destiny. What was originally just a wisp of purple energy instantly transformed into a real stream.

This is his limit. At most, he can only raise the purple qi by two levels when he is at the level of a Great True Monarch and is promoted to Foundation Establishment. Only a Dao Lord can do it further. However, don't underestimate the impact of raising a wisp of qi to a Dao. The actual impact on cause and effect is far beyond what ordinary people can imagine.

"Boom!"

In an instant, the ritual that had been stagnant within the [Long Flowing Water] actually resumed operation, and a certain guaranteed mechanism that should not have been triggered was activated.

'The Dragon Lord's creation of rituals originally required a soul as its foundation.'

'Although he no longer possesses a soul, Mu Changsheng still retains a trace of metal! Metal is the essence of the soul, so using it as a substitute in the ritual is quite reasonable.'

This was originally impossible. However, there is always a glimmer of hope in everything. With the support of the rising destiny, cause and effect were distorted, allowing this variable to emerge out of nowhere!

Upon seeing this, Lü Yang didn't say a word and immediately entered the [Master of Nourishing Life].

"Will you come?"

The Dragon Lord's gestation ritual has been restarted by himself. Is it possible that the Holy Ancestor, who personally stopped it back then, will descend again and completely resolve this matter?
—The wind and waves are calm.

Contrary to expectations, the Holy Ancestor did not intervene, and the Dragon Lord's Nurturing Ritual began to operate smoothly. However, the next second, a new problem arose.

“Oh right.” Lü Yang slapped his forehead.

The Earthly Branch Chen has been reversed!
Ren Chen and Gui Si are called "Long Flowing Water". As early as five thousand years ago, the Yin and Yang attributes of Chen Earth, one of its elements, were reversed by "Ang Xiao"!
'Because of the existence of [Angxiao], the ritual was already flawed. Even if a true dragon could be born, it wouldn't be able to take control of [Changliushui]; it would only become ordinary. Truly worthy of the patriarch; after that intervention five thousand years ago, he cleaned up the mess from beginning to end!'

No room for compromise, eradicate them completely!
'Pity'

Lu Yang sighed, but quickly rallied. After all, seducing the Holy Sect's patriarch was just a side effect; his main target this time was still the Old Dragon Lord.

"Although it's impossible to take control of the [Long Flowing Water] through this ritual, the one that this ritual gave birth to is still a Dragon Lord, whose origins are on the same level as the old Dragon Lord. Under such circumstances, how could the old Dragon Lord not have noticed? And if he did notice, he should at least come and take a look, since he might be your own brother."

Overseas, deep within the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas.

Suddenly, a pair of pupils as large as mountains lit up in the dim seabed, illuminating the underwater scene, but without any of the domineering presence that a true dragon should have.

Instead, they were filled with panic.

Has the ritual of "[Flowing Water]" resumed operation?

'The Sixth Dragon King has begun to gestate again and is about to be born? Impossible, it has no soul, how could this happen? Is this some kind of scheme orchestrated by the Dao Lord?'

At this moment, the old dragon king's scales stood on end.

If the Sixth Dragon King were in the Golden Age, he would be genuinely happy about this and hold a grand celebration to welcome his newborn brother.

However, times have changed.

The era known as "Ancestral Dragon" has long since faded into the dust of history, and in the era known as "First Saint," there was no place for the Sixth Dragon Lord.

"I have switched to cultivating the Cave Heaven Technique, severing my connection with the Ancestral Dragon, which is why I survived by chance. But the Sixth Dragon Lord hasn't. Once he takes control of the [Eternal Flowing Water], with his bloodline, he could probably contact the Ancestral Dragon, and might even be able to use this opportunity to escape from the seal!"

Thinking of this, the old dragon king felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

Especially after sensing the location and discovering that the incident was happening overseas, the old dragon king felt his scalp tingle. Should he go or not?
If I go, I might be suspected of being the mastermind behind it all.

If I don't go, I might be seen as having a guilty conscience.

After much deliberation, the old dragon king decided he still had to go, at least to try and prove his innocence; otherwise, even if it wasn't excrement, it would still be excrement.

However, he stopped again just a second before he was about to get up.

'wrong.'

Is it really possible for the Sixth Dragon King to be born? With that great being in heaven watching over things, the possibility of the Sixth Dragon King being born should have been suppressed long ago, right?

If that's the case, why revive the Sixth Dragon King?
Why do something that's futile?
unless--

"The target wasn't the Sixth Dragon King from the beginning, but me?" The old Dragon King's expression changed drastically.

not good!

Which lord wants to harm me?!
