Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 1257 Gap
A somber, dim light filled the sky.

As for the cultivators below, they still couldn't see what was happening, but they could sense that the two lofty auras hadn't diminished.

Jiangnan, the ends of the earth.

Ling Xiao observed the sky with great interest, then looked curiously at the Great Sword Sect beside him: "Fellow Daoist, can you see who wins and who loses?"

The Great Sword Sect nodded slightly:
"I can't see the details clearly, but I can see the general outline."

Despite this, there was no composure in his eyes; instead, his expression was extremely grave as he pondered: 'Was that truly the aura of the primordial spirit?'

With his cultivation level, he could easily see the outcome of the battle. However, the result surprised him greatly because the Heavenly Duke's aura broke through the limit of the Heavenly Step. But as far as he knew, the Heavenly Duke, the first immortal spirit of the Immortal Pivot, had no Dao heart cultivation at all.

How could it possibly have a primordial spirit?
Or is it that it's not actually the Heavenly Emperor, but someone else disguised as the Heavenly Emperor? But in this illusory world, where else are there other cultivators with primordial spirits besides myself?
Unless the person who takes the place of the Heavenly Emperor—

'From the real world outside!'

Thinking of this, the usually calm and composed Great Sword Sect finally stood up, and a slight ripple appeared in his eyes, which were originally as still as water.

'The Dao Lord?' Who could it be?

Thinking of this, the Great Sword Sect suddenly turned around and looked at Ling Xiao: "Strictly speaking, in that battle just now, it was your fellow Daoist who won."

"Oh? Why?"

Ling Xiao was somewhat surprised to hear this: "From what you've said, fellow Daoist, could it be that my fellow Daoist won by a great deal of difficulty? Just based on that Heavenly Emperor?"

Ling Xiao was quite familiar with the Heavenly Emperor, and undeniably more so than with the official history. But that was all there was to it. In the war against the Heavenly Emperor thirty years ago, the opponent only exhausted him by relying on the strength of the Immortal Pivot. Otherwise, he alone could have defeated the Heavenly Emperor decisively.

In comparison, Lü Yang could defeat him head-on.

In Ling Xiao's view, if Lü Yang cannot defeat the Heavenly Emperor, then he will inevitably face a long battle against the Heavenly Emperor, just like himself, and the outcome will take time.

Since the outcome was decided so quickly...

The obvious result should have been that Lü Yang defeated Tian Gong with an overwhelming advantage. However, judging from the tone of the Great Sword Sect, this does not seem to be the case.

"This heaven is different."

The Great Sword Sect Master shook his head: "I suspect he is no longer the original Heavenly Lord, but rather a Dao Lord from the outside world, a Dao Lord descended to earth."

Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao answered without the slightest hesitation, purely out of instinct:

“Oh, Venerable One.”

"Wanbao? How so?" The Great Sword Sect Master blinked in confusion.

Ling Xiao looked completely matter-of-fact:

"As we all know, the World Honored One is most fond of challenging those above him and those below him. Whenever a Dao Lord descends to the mortal realm, it is almost certainly the World Honored One who takes action."

After hearing this, the Great Sword Sect member couldn't help but rub his temples.

The Wanbao he knew wasn't this kind of person. How did he become like this? What is the real world like? Is the atmosphere so bad?

At the same time, Ling Xiao became interested and asked curiously, "So, my fellow cultivator defeated the World Honored One in a direct confrontation?"

"That's it."

The Great Sword Sect Master nodded, then shook his head: "We've only gained the upper hand; it's not a true fight to the death. If we continue, things might change."

Killing and defeat are two different things.

From the perspective of the Great Sword Sect, at least Lü Yang had the upper hand just now. If it came to a protracted battle and they continued fighting, his chances of winning were probably 60% or 40%.

It's not high, but it's already quite amazing.

After all, he was a Dao Lord, and the fact that he had a chance of winning was already quite astonishing.

Thinking of this, the Great Sword Sect wanted to continue observing, but found that his vision suddenly became blurry, obviously someone didn't want him to watch anymore.

At the edge of the sky, the World Honored One fell silent after speaking. Seeing this, Lü Yang did not speak first, but instead looked around at the surroundings with some curiosity.

'The Sky Curtain. Fake History is indeed different.'

'Beyond the Immortal Pivot, there is no Sea of ​​Light. From this perspective, the [Heavenly Book] that created this false history is clearly far inferior to the [Book of a Hundred Generations].'

Beyond the Immortal Pivot of the False History, there is nothing but a vast and boundless celestial canopy that can accommodate all cultivators to fight in this realm. The higher one's cultivation level, the further one is from the mortal world. However, no matter how high one climbs, it is ultimately impossible to fly out of the False History through the celestial canopy.

Besides these, there are many other things that pseudo-history doesn't include.

There is no Foundation Establishment Realm, no Sea of ​​Bitterness, no Sea of ​​Light and its Dark Side, no Underworld; only some seemingly plausible but ultimately false things shaped by cause and effect.

It is precisely the lack of these real elements that makes pseudo-history appear all the more illusory.

However, from another perspective, as long as the gaps in these real things can be filled, pseudo-history may be transformed from illusion into real reality.

at this time.

"Fellow Daoist, your methods are quite remarkable."

After a long silence, the World Honored One finally spoke: "How was that last profound mystery, which is closer to 'variable' than my 'cause and effect', proven?"

"Would you like to know, senior?"

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang blinked, then cast a [Life-Controlling Technique] and sent out a cultivation technique jade slip: "Would you like to try cultivating it?"

The World Honored One: "."

Is it because of the misunderstanding with my junior brother that you think I'm a fool, easy to fool? What storms haven't I weathered?

You really think you've won?

He only won one move; he still has other powerful techniques he hasn't used yet. If they were to continue fighting, the best outcome would be mutual destruction.

Thinking of this, the World Honored One shook his head: "Fellow Daoist, are you feeling quite smug right now?"

"Senior misunderstood."

Lu Yang shook his head. It was just a battle between people of the same realm. The World Honored One didn't even use his primordial spirit. Such a victory had no real value in the Immortal Pivot.

The ability to overcome superiors is a true skill.

So what if you're invincible at the same level? A higher cultivation level is like being a whole realm higher. Back then, the First Saint was known as the number one in combat, but in the end, he was still suppressed and beaten by Si Chong.

Seeing Lü Yang's appearance, the World Honored One observed him intently for a moment, confirming that the man's words and actions were indeed from the heart, before nodding slightly: "Since you are aware of the atmosphere in the Sea of ​​Light, that's good, it saves me from having to remind you. However, in any case, you do have some merit."

"May I ask, Senior?"

Hearing this, Lü Yang mustered his courage and asked with his hands clasped, "I see that you have many methods, and you are good at using external things. I wonder what methods the other Dao Lords have?"

That's a tactful question.

The World Honored One immediately understood Lü Yang's unspoken meaning: he simply wanted to know what level his combat strength ranked among the six Dao Lords.

"The power of the Daoist Master is not as great as mine."

The World Honored One pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice, “Aside from the difference in rank, the methods of the Dao Lords of Magic are actually similar to mine, while Cang Hao is slightly stronger than me.”

"The First Saint goes without saying."

"As for Sword Lord, although she is not as good as the First Saint, she is only not as good as the First Saint. Her strength is beyond doubt, and she will be even stronger after being blessed by the Heavenly Dao."

Lü Yang understood.

"So, with my current combat strength, I have a chance to kill a Dao Lord of Mana Power in a battle against someone of the same realm, slightly defeat a Dao Lord of Magic, and fight to a draw with Cang Hao. Facing a Sword Lord carries a certain risk of death; if the Sword Lord receives the blessing of the Heavenly Dao, I will surely die. Against a Primordial Saint, lasting a hundred moves would be a success."

Seems okay?
