Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 1258 The First Peak Master Would Have Disbanded Without Me!

By using the World Honored One as a benchmark, Lü Yang finally gained a certain understanding of the strength between Dao Lords, but he still remained vigilant.

'The Buddha's words should not be entirely believed.'

'Although he is also a Dao Lord, his position within the [Other Shore] is still too low. Sometimes, being blinded by a single leaf can mislead my judgment.'

Thinking of this, Lü Yang looked at the World Honored One again.

Having earned his qualification through the previous battle, he was no longer reserved and simply said, "I wish to take all of the Immortal Pivot. Senior, would you be willing to help me?"

The Buddha's answer was also straightforward.

"can."

He spoke calmly and said indifferently, "Jiangxi is already in your hands. Jiangdong and Jiangbei are just a matter of a thought away. I will not interfere with you in these two territories."

"Heaven will not be an obstacle for you."

Lu Yang immediately realized the problem in the World Honored One's words and said in a deep voice, "And Jiangnan, Senior, you wouldn't also be wary of that Great Sword Sect Master from the Sword Pavilion, would you?"

Upon hearing this, the World Honored One raised an eyebrow, but did not answer the question directly. Instead, he gave Lü Yang a meaningful look before changing the subject: "Since you have already reached a cooperation agreement with Ling Xiao, you should know a lot of historical secrets from him, including the fate of this era, right?"

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang's expression changed slightly.

'.not good!'

'The World Honored One's words clearly indicate that he is certain I am a cultivator who emerged after Lingxiao. Did my words just now reveal a flaw?'

The problem lies with the Great Sword Sect?

Thinking of this, Lü Yang felt a pang of regret. He had been careless and allowed the World Honored One to seize the opportunity and deduce part of his background.

At the same time, the Buddha was also quite surprised.

'He doesn't know what the Great Sword Sect did back then, otherwise he wouldn't have asked me if I was wary of them. He hasn't even been cultivating for ten thousand years?'

Lingxiao was born about 30,000 years ago. At that time, some fragmented information could still be found in ancient books. However, as he changed his cause and effect and reshaped the present world, this information was also buried. Judging from his age, the person in front of him has been cultivating for no more than 10,000 years.

As for the shortest, it may be less than five thousand years.

For a moment, even the World Honored One was shocked by his own conjecture, but that was all, since there were no further clues.

The next second, Lü Yang said in a deep voice:
"I do know that the Great Sword Sect will eliminate demons in the Jiazi year, slaughtering all under heaven within sixty years. The three foundations are the Dao Court, the Holy Sect, and the Sword Pavilion. After that, they will commit suicide by drawing their swords."

"how so?"

Now that his background had been guessed, Lü Yang stopped pretending and stopped acting profound. Instead, he looked at the World Honored One and asked directly.
Upon hearing this, the Buddha shook his head.

"Sanhe's ideas are different from others."

The true name of the Great Sword Sect, Sanhe, was revealed by the World Honored One, causing the heavens to tremble as if boundless power was emerging from the fabricated history.

Lü Yang immediately sensed something.

It is the Way of Heaven!

[Heavenly Dao] has sensed the true name of the Great Sword Sect?
Before Lü Yang could sort out his thoughts, his vision suddenly darkened, and a hazy gray color appeared at the feet of the World Honored One, then quickly spread.

Wherever the light passed, all was silent, the world was still, isolating all external senses and severing the great power from the [Heavenly Dao]. Seeing this, Lü Yang immediately became excited, understanding that the World Honored One was about to tell him a secret that would not be shared with the outside world.

"The pseudo-history of today has actually changed."

"Because both I and the demon-taming creature have attained the primordial spirit, and our true selves are unique, the current false history does not include us, and it is already different from the story of that time."

"then."

At this point, the Buddha paused before continuing:

"The First Sage revealed his ambition, and the Cave Heaven Method and the Three Foundations turned against each other. However, after so many years of prosperity, the various schools of thought have long been intertwined with each other."

"However, under the will of the Dao Lord, a great battle was inevitable. Even the Great True Monarchs of the Heavenly Stepping Realm had no choice. Only Dao Lords at the Golden Core Perfection Realm had a little choice. Looking back at that time, it was only me, Huan Yao, and Sanhe who were half of the group. The three of us each chose three paths." "That fool Huan Yao chose the Underworld."

"At that time, the great war was coming to an end, and the number of dead cultivators was countless. He was determined to establish the Underworld, gather the true spirits, and call back his old friends."

"At the same time, I also want to use the power of the underworld to resolve the conflict between the Dao Lords."

"He was too young and too naive. Although the 'Scripture of Seeking Immortality by Cultivating One's Nature' allowed him to cultivate his primordial spirit, it also made it difficult for him to change his fundamental nature."

"He didn't understand the cause of the Dao Lord's war at all."

"I see it clearly now."

The Buddha's voice was calm, as if he were merely recounting a past event from a scripture. Lü Yang listened attentively while rapidly deducing the events in his mind.

'It's normal for cultivating the primordial spirit to have drawbacks.'

'After all, cultivating the primordial spirit is about cultivating a true self, and a pure true self amplifies a person's strengths, but it also amplifies their corresponding weaknesses.'

'As for the cause of the Dao Lords' war, it now seems to be because Si Chong discovered the true face of the First Sage. However, Dao Tianqi believes it's probably just a disagreement among the Dao Lords on the [Other Shore]. Therefore, he wanted to create the Underworld to resolve the conflict; his approach was wrong, so everything he did was wrong.'

Meanwhile, the Buddha's voice continued:

"I chose the First Saint."

"At that time, I had already vaguely sensed the problem with the First Saint, but I did not have enough strength. I had to seize the position of the Other Shore."

"Otherwise, I will not be able to protect the demon-taming, the sky-mending, and the elixir cauldron."

That's not all!

Lü Yang sighed inwardly. Even though the World Honored One had ascended to the Other Shore, in the end, no one could be saved; it could only be said that everything was under the control of the First Sage.

The true spirit of the alchemy cauldron shattered, the demon-taming creature fell into a deep sleep and never woke up, the Five Elements were hidden in the patching of the heavens, Wanbao was reduced to a Dao Lord-level talent, and all four of the first generation of peak masters were imprisoned.

"Without me, Dao Tianqi definitely wouldn't have woken up. The First Saint took the fragments of the Underworld and ascended directly to the Other Shore. His plan to mend the heavens would have failed, and he would have certainly died. Not to mention the Pill Cauldron, Ling Xiao, whose true spirit was reshaped, would have died in the Underworld and would have to die again."

It's simply a huge tragedy.

'Thank goodness, I'm here.'

At this moment, Lü Yang even felt a slight sense of superiority over the World Honored One, and the psychological shadow cast by him in the previous dozen lifetimes completely dissipated.

The original Four Peak Masters would not have been able to disband without me!

The Buddha paused slightly, glancing with a puzzled look at Lü Yang, whose gaze, which had been scrutinizing him for some reason, had suddenly become composed.

"Finally, there's the Great Sword Sect."

"He also saw through the Sword Lord's true colors at that time, but he was different from me and the Demon Tamer. He did not focus on the dead cultivators or the future situation."

"He is looking at mortals."

"Not long after the Ancestral Dragon was suppressed, the Dao Lord launched a great war, which gave him an opportunity to contact the Heavenly Emperor and plan to use the power of the overseas true dragons to escape."

"You should know that the Immortal Pivot is entirely built on the body of the Ancestral Dragon. Once the Ancestral Dragon is freed, the trillions of mortals on it will die instantly, without exception. That's why there was the Jiazi Demon Extermination Campaign, which cleansed the Immortal Pivot and hung the sword in the sky. It was he who suppressed the Ancestral Dragon's final counterattack."

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang raised an eyebrow:
"That doesn't make sense. If the goal is simply to suppress the Ancestral Dragon's counterattack, shouldn't we try to kill the Heavenly Duke? What does it have to do with all the cultivators in the world?"

The Buddha sighed.

Before he could answer, a violent rumbling sound came from heaven and earth. In a daze, Lü Yang seemed to hear a crisp sound as some forbidden knowledge was unlocked.

"Because the earliest cultivators were trained by the Ancestral Dragon."

“All cultivators, regardless of their lineage, will eventually trace their origins back to it, and since it can give, it can naturally find a way to take it back.”

"Otherwise, would Si Chong have agreed to suppress the First Emperor back then?"
