Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 998 I have been waiting for you, fellow Daoist, for a long time!

The Four Seas Gate, the Dragon Palace.

In the magnificent golden hall, Mu Changsheng landed with the old dragon king, then concealed his dragon form, revealing his true appearance as a handsome young man.

"Ah."

Mu Changsheng is now manifesting as his youthful appearance at his peak, and as the Foundation Establishment cultivator who was ganged up on by the True Lords back then, the Old Dragon Lord is actually quite familiar with him.

Coupled with the fact that the heavens were favoring him, the old dragon king immediately realized what was going on:

"Mu Changsheng?"

Mu Changsheng was not surprised to hear this, after all, in his opinion, since the old dragon king came to "save" him, he must have known his true identity long ago.

Therefore, he naturally bowed:
"Greetings, senior."

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately said in a deep voice, "The prototype of [Wu You Tian] is still in the magic treasure I left behind in the past, and there is no way to take it out and use it for the time being."

Upon hearing this, the old dragon king was immediately taken aback.

Is there no Heaven?
What is that? Could this be Mu Changsheng's secret, the benefit the Dao Lord gave me?
The old dragon king was, after all, a seasoned veteran. Despite his doubts, he remained outwardly calm, his expression dark and revealing no emotional fluctuations.

Judging from his tone, he seems to believe I know about [Wu You Tian], and thinks I came specifically to find him because of [Wu You Tian]? Why would he have such a misunderstanding? I'm a complete stranger to him. Heavenly Lord! Yes, he has the favor of the Heavenly Lord, and my True Dragon Clan also has some connection with the Heavenly Lord.

Old Dragon King quickly sorted out his thoughts.

The next second, he chuckled and said, "When Heaven told me about this, I was a little incredulous. After seeing you, young friend, I'm even more skeptical."

"Now my young friend is deliberately making excuses again."

"Could it be that you're just making fun of me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the pressure of the Golden Core level descended with a thunderous roar, and layers of light rippled like water behind the old dragon king's head before landing on Mu Changsheng.

"Senior misunderstood."

Mu Changsheng was sweating profusely and hurriedly explained, "The matter of [Wu You Tian] is absolutely true. Once it succeeds, it will surely allow all the True Lords of the world to go into seclusion!"

Holy crap? You do this kind of thing?
Old Dragon King's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this, but his tone remained disdainful: "Empty words are meaningless. You're just talking, and you don't seem to have any concrete evidence."

This is the absolute difference between a True Monarch and a Foundation Establishment cultivator. The Old Dragon Lord could patiently test him, but Mu Changsheng could not bargain and even held back. In order to save his life, he dared not hide anything and immediately revealed all the details of the [Wu You Tian] plan, leaving the Old Dragon Lord stunned.

'Good fellow!'

'This is quite ruthless, and it's actually feasible! Thirty years... no, if executed well, it could probably force the True Lord into seclusion in the Sea of ​​Suffering for at least forty years!'

The old dragon king suddenly became excited.

Forty years! Without the True Lord blocking his way, wouldn't his son, Tianqiu, have a chance to prove himself as the "Heavenly River Water"? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
'No, that's not all. There's also [Heavenly Fire]!'

'If the True Lords go into seclusion and the Foundation Establishment cultivators compete, the Dao Court might even have a chance to unify the Immortal Realm, and then, taking advantage of this phenomenon, verify the existence of [Heavenly Fire]!'

'Is this a favor I received from the Daoist Master of the Dao Court?'

Is it really going to cost more?

For a moment, the old dragon king was a little stunned. Happiness came too suddenly, leaving him somewhat at a loss. However, he quickly came to his senses.

'No, that won't work.'

'That boy Tianqiu's mastery of the [Heavenly River Water] is still insufficient. Unless he receives external support, it will likely be difficult for him to succeed in acquiring gold even after forty years.'

Thinking of this, his face darkened again.

Upon seeing this, Mu Changsheng misunderstood again, thinking that [Wu Youtian] had not satisfied the Old Dragon Lord. He immediately gritted his teeth and continued in a low voice:
“Besides that, I have one more thing.”

Upon hearing this, the old dragon king was stunned again. You're still alive?

Immediately afterwards, Mu Changsheng's voice quietly drifted into the old dragon king's ears, booming like thunder: "May I ask, senior, do you have any knowledge of [Remnant Consciousness of Heaven and Man]?"

"."

The old dragon king fell silent.

[Remnant Knowledge of Celestial Beings]? Of course he knew! The first Demon-Taming Peak Master had specifically discussed it with him, and he even knew the contents of some of the levels.

Hmm? Could it be...?
In an instant, the old dragon king seemed to realize something. Suppressing his emotions, he looked at Mu Changsheng and asked, "You're not talking about the [Master of Nourishing Life], are you?"

This sentence instantly confirmed Mu Changsheng's guess:
'As expected! Heaven had already told him about the [Master of Nourishing Life]. If I hadn't told him, he might have turned on me. Luckily, I reacted quickly.' So he nodded decisively: 'Exactly!'

After he finished speaking, the old dragon king fell silent. If he could obtain the book on the fruition of the "Master of Nourishing Life," the problem of Tianqiu could be solved.

'This is wonderful. Unbelievable! The Dao Lord of the Dao Court is so sincere! Could there be a trap in the [Master of Nourishing Life]? Impossible! The Dao Lord can't enter the [Remnant Consciousness of Heaven and Man]. So, is it really for me? No, that's not right. The Dao Lord wants to use me to interfere with the [Remnant Consciousness of Heaven and Man]!'

The old dragon king suddenly realized.

Since the Daoist Master cannot interfere with the "Master of Nourishing Life," he needs to act as a front man, both to provide benefits and to take advantage of him. This is not surprising.

Having thought this through, the old dragon king had no more doubts:
"Cause and effect and coordinates?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Changsheng dared not hesitate and immediately sent out a divine thought, which contained the causal coordinates of the [Master of Nourishing Life], greatly satisfying the old dragon king.

Similarly, Lü Yang was extremely satisfied.

"Okay, okay."

'Mu Changsheng is favored by Heaven, and the Old Dragon Lord, as a noble being of Heaven and Earth, is also loved by Heaven. The cause and effect of the [Remnant Knowledge of Heaven and Man] can be easily manipulated.'

'Great, that saved me a lot of effort.'

He was originally thinking about how to get the Old Dragon Lord to obtain the cause and effect for entering the [Remnant Consciousness of Heaven and Man], but now it seems that there is no need to bother.

"My entry into the 'Remnant Consciousness of Heaven and Man' was due to the feedback from 'Disciple as Teacher' and the connection with 'Calamity.' It was a stroke of good fortune, an unexpected joy. The Old Dragon Lord's luck is much better than mine. Could it be that the 'Remnant Consciousness of Heaven and Man' is also related to the Heavenly Emperor?"

No, to be precise, it's related to the First Emperor.

Thinking of this, Lü Yang's eyes grew even more profound.

At the same time, the old dragon king had already taken the coordinate cause and effect from Mu Changsheng. After confirming that it was correct, excitement immediately appeared in his eyes.

However, he quickly suppressed his excitement and calmed down.

"You go first."

The old dragon king looked at Mu Changsheng and said in a deep voice, "I won't go for now. Go in and get the [Heavenly River Water] rank book for me."

"what?"

Mu Changsheng was taken aback upon hearing this, then shook his head: "Senior, with my meager cultivation, I can only peruse heterodox teachings. How can I possibly attain a legitimate position?"

"Then bring out a book of heretical teachings."

Seeing this, Mu Changsheng had no choice but to take a deep breath and then escape into the [Master of Nourishing Life]. He returned a moment later and then sent out a divine thought.

"It's all here."

Without a word, the old dragon king snatched it and carefully examined it. Finally, a look of certainty appeared in his eyes: 'He didn't lie to me; it truly is the [Master of Nourishing Life].'

The first generation of Demon-Taming Peak Master had also shown him a similar book on fruition.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Mu Changsheng again: 'Even a Foundation Establishment cultivator could emerge alive, so the [Master of Nourishing Life] shouldn't be in any fatal danger.'

'Hmm, is it possible that someone orchestrated this to lure me into [Celestial Remnant Consciousness]?'

'That doesn't make sense. Why would the Dao Lord need to use this? It's even less likely for a Great True Lord, since it's impossible to orchestrate events in the mortal world within the [Remnant Consciousness of Heaven and Man].'

It's all safe! Everything's safe!
With this thought in mind, the old dragon king had no more hesitation. He directly boosted his divine sense and entered the [Master of Nourishing Life], intending to take in the scenery of the [Remnant Consciousness of Heaven and Man].

Then he saw a flash of silver light.

What he saw was a scene of surging waves and towering tsunami. Every drop of seawater seemed to be a beam of light and shadow, manifesting the aura of his rank that terrified him to the extreme.

"what?"

In an instant, an unprecedented sense of horror rushed into his mind, making him see stars, his lips tremble, and his just-raised energy almost dissipated.

'Did I still get infected?'

'Is someone really plotting against me?'

'How could it be bitter!'

The next second, a clear laugh swept over him like a storm, leaving his head spinning and his mind blank:
"Fellow Daoist, I have been waiting for you here for a long time!"
