Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 1248 The Secret of the First Saint
At the summit of Mount Ling, Lü Yang's thoughts soared high. At this moment, he was another "Heavenly Emperor," and his state could be described as one with the heavens.

Until just now, he had been searching for the person from the present world who had entered the pseudo-history.

He had already grasped the mysteries of the "Dripping Heaven Essence" at his fingertips, calculating cause and effect, and searching for all causes and effects that were different from the false history among the trillions of causes and effects in the Immortal Pivot.

He had already found a clue.

However, just before they were about to be completely exposed, the other party suddenly vanished without a trace, as if they had been overwhelmed by an even stronger force.

'Someone has made a move!'

'This method isn't from the Great Sword Sect; it's from Heaven itself.'

'Does he really have that kind of skill?'

Lu Yang's expression grew increasingly solemn, and between his fingers was an extremely weak, illusory light that seemed ready to dissipate at any moment.

This is a cause and effect that he finally uncovered at the last moment.

"Although faint, it can still reveal some information." Lu Yang grasped the illusory light, and a flame suddenly ignited in his eyes.

In an instant, the originally illusory light of cause and effect suddenly surged, transforming into a vast expanse of flames, from which various scenes of cause and effect continuously emerged, hazy and elusive. But just as Lü Yang was about to delve deeper, it seemed to burn out, quickly dimming and extinguishing.

"Boom."

The illusory light vanished, and as he watched this scene, Lü Yang frowned, recalling the image he had captured in that brief moment.

Who is it?

He saw a figure surrounded by the five elements, which then transformed into lightning. The aura subtly echoed the [Five Elements] fruit position of the Immortal Pivot.

That's not for seeking a higher rank or position.

'He directly bypassed the Immortal Pivot stage and sought the fundamental [Five Elements]. If he truly achieves it, it will inevitably shake my current control over water and fire.'

Lu Yang's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

At this moment, the Immortal Pivot has been stripped of its water and fire elements, and the Five Elements positions have been effectively divided. No matter how powerful the Heavenly Emperor is, he cannot take them back.

However, if someone could obtain the Five Elements, even if they only had the cultivation of a True Monarch, and with the support of the Heavenly Emperor, they would be able to use minimal effort to influence the twelve Water and Fire positions currently under his control. This would undoubtedly be an unstable factor for him.

However, this is a double-edged sword.

Lü Yang's eyes brightened slightly: 'If Heaven can use this person to influence the Water and Fire positions under my jurisdiction, I can also use this person to influence the other positions of the Five Elements!'

interesting.

Coming from the real world, he was used against him as soon as he entered the pseudo-history, but the methods were not conclusive enough, and he could even discover some clues.

'If it were the Dao Lord who made the move, I shouldn't have been able to detect anything amiss.'

'But I still found out.'

From this perspective, the Daoist Master's move against the false history is less about eliminating himself as a variable and more about testing himself.

Want to see what you're capable of?

For no apparent reason, Lü Yang gleaned this feeling from this series of changes, and a name naturally came to mind afterward:

'World Honored One!'

Is he the one taking action?

Lu Yang wasn't sure either, but he knew what he needed to do to break the deadlock: find the mysterious person who had been thrown into the false history by the Daoist Master to seek the [Five Elements].

Once you find the other party, you can take the initiative.

However, Lü Yang soon frowned again, because he didn't know whether the mysterious person was male or female, or whether their cultivation level was high or low; he had almost no information at all.

'The perspective is still too low.'

At his level, he could only see this much. Even a single test from the Dao Lord was a mountain to him, and no amount of effort could reveal the whole picture.

It seems I have no choice but to switch to my own perspective.

The source of pseudo-history.

In this peaceful and idyllic paradise, filled with the sounds of birdsong and fragrant flowers, the sound of students reading aloud echoed until a loud shout shattered the atmosphere. "Senior Si Chong!"

Inside the attic, Si Chong, who had been teaching the Daoist Master of Cultivation, suddenly stopped talking, looked up at the window, and shook his head helplessly.
"get out of class dismissed, fellow Daoist, please take the day off."

"I understand."

Upon hearing this, the Daoist Master of Cultivation nodded calmly. Compared to before, he was now less impetuous and more composed.

After seeing off the Daoist Master of Cultivation, Si Chong pushed open the door and walked out of the pavilion. He soon saw Lü Yang striding over as his consciousness regained control of the Foundation Establishment puppet. Si Chong immediately frowned and sighed, "Fellow Daoist, your method is similar to Wan Bao's back then. It is an evil path and definitely not the right one."

"Don't worry, senior, my path lies elsewhere."

Lu Yang replied calmly, "This method is only for contacting you, senior. After this matter is resolved, I will naturally no longer regard you as a puppet."

Si Chong shook his head again upon hearing this.

Even so, he didn't say anything more, clearly not someone who couldn't adapt, knowing that Lü Yang's methods were the best solution at the moment.

"Is there something you're wondering about?"

Si Chong immediately guessed Lü Yang's purpose in coming. After all, he had seen many such poor students in the past, and if he had no doubts, he would not have come to see him.

"Senior Mingjian."

Lu Yang cupped his hands in greeting and concisely recounted the difficulties he had encountered. Si Chong, upon hearing this, frowned slightly and fell into deep thought as well.

After a moment, he opened his eyes and smiled:

"I understand."

"Fellow Daoist is not mistaken. The fellow Daoist who made the move was indeed testing you. But to be more precise, the person he was actually testing was me."

"After all, his methods are not particularly sophisticated, or rather, they only seem sophisticated to cultivators below the Dao Lord level. He simply takes advantage of the fact that cultivators with insufficient rank do not have enough understanding of the River of Time. Once one's rank is high enough, seeing through such methods is a piece of cake."

"He's testing whether you've really made contact with me."

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang suddenly understood.

However, new doubts soon arose in his mind:

"The River of Time?"

Si Chong explained, "Actually, it is the Great Net of Cause and Effect that you know. Before the Myriad Treasures Proof of Cause and Effect, its name was the River of Time."

"Back then, that was the foundation for the initial saint's enlightenment. Time always moves forward, and the past is a fixed destiny that cannot be changed. He used it to prove [destiny], but in the end, Wanbao proved [cause and effect], and even went back in time to participate in the battle, personally damaging his own foundation. I was actually quite surprised by this."

Lu Yang: “???”

"wait wait wait!"

Before Si Chong could finish speaking, Lü Yang hurriedly said, "The River of Time is the foundation for the First Sage's enlightenment? Did the First Sage use this to prove his [destiny]?"

"good."

Si Chong nodded: "When the first sage attained enlightenment, he attained the [Time], which was a side path of [Destiny]. He truly took control of [Destiny] much later."

Lu Yang was immediately horrified.

After a moment of silence, he said in a low voice, "What would happen if the First Sage personally killed the World Honored One who had realized the [Cause and Effect]?"

Si Chong frowned upon hearing this:
"After reaching the other shore, the Dao Lord is immortal."

"What if?" Lü Yang pressed.

Having said that, Si Chong's expression gradually became serious: "The river of time has become a great web of cause and effect, and the [variables] are already deeply rooted."

"If Wanbao is killed, the [cause and effect] will collapse, and the great net of cause and effect will turn back into the river of time."

"Then the First Saint should also be able to control the variable with the fixed number, just like I was back then, wielding two paths simultaneously, and having reached a point of no further regret in his cultivation!"

　There will only be two updates. I simply don't have time to write the third one. I'll definitely get back to normal tomorrow.
