Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 1325 If Only I Could Do It Again

The river of time.

With a flash of golden light, the First Saint suddenly opened his eyes and saw the future shadow of the Ancestral Dragon he had summoned leap out from it.

"You shameless cheater!"

"No wonder he was so cunning back then, you beast."

"Disregarding moral principles!"

The strange young man launched into a string of angry curses, his face full of resentment. Even though he was enslaved, he couldn't suppress the deep-seated frustration in his heart.

The First Sage was not surprised to see this.

After all, anyone who knows the effects of the [Divine Fortune Book] and knows that they have already used it once would say such a thing.

"Where's the book?"

The sage spoke calmly, but the strange youth's eyes twitched upon hearing this. He continued to curse as he slowly took out a golden light from his robes.

The moment he saw the golden light, a strong desire appeared in Chu Sheng's eyes. However, he quickly suppressed this emotion. After all, this treasure had already suffered a great injury, leaving only a shell. He had used it once, and now it was completely unusable.

This reminded him of the "heavenly book".

The page of the "Heavenly Book" in the Zulong Villa once made him believe that it could be used to repair the "Divine Fortune and Destiny Book," which is why he was willing to turn against Si Chong.

It turned out that I had overthought it.

While the Heavenly Book is effective in reflecting false changes, it lacks the most important function of starting over.

Without this, everything else is meaningless.

It was useless to eat, but a pity to throw away, like a chicken rib. So in the end, he could only settle for second best and use the [Heavenly Book] to seal the evil spirits.

Thinking of this, Chu Sheng lowered his eyelids.

For so many years, ever since he used it that one time, he has been trying to find a way to repair this treasure, and even used the [Time] to prove it.

However, none of it worked.

'Where exactly did that Nascent Soul cultivator place the profound mysteries of this treasure? He couldn't have taken it with him.'

There was a time when he thought that the Nascent Soul cultivator had achieved transcendence thanks to the supreme power of this treasure, which was why the treasure was nearing destruction. However, after witnessing Si Chong's transcendence firsthand, he suddenly realized that true transcendence takes nothing with you.

Just like the spirit of the sage.

All external forces have been abandoned, leaving only the transcendent "I". This is just a glimpse into the whole picture. If the spirit medium is like this, then the one at the Nascent Soul stage should be the same.

So logically speaking—

The immense power of the "Divine Decree Book" must have been left behind in the Sea of ​​Light, but where exactly is it? Could it be hidden within other remnants of celestial consciousness?

Chu Sheng's mind raced, and he subconsciously thought of Lü Yang and Xiu Zhen. These two Dao Lords, who had broken free of his surveillance and appeared out of nowhere, could theoretically have obtained that supreme power. However, he quickly dismissed the idea, thinking it was unlikely.

Because the [Heavenly Book] did not respond.

"The Heavenly Book is connected to that supreme power. If it has truly fallen into someone's hands, the Heavenly Book will definitely react, and I'm certain I'll be able to detect it."

Since the Heavenly Book did not react, it means that the supreme power has not yet been unsealed.

It remains in a sealed state.

Chu Sheng carefully considered the situation, tracing all developments in the direction he believed to be most reasonable, until finally he breathed a sigh of relief.

The next second, he dispelled the future shadow of the Ancestral Dragon and took the [Divine Fortune Book] in his hand.

So far, all his plans have been thwarted. Of the three strategies—superior, middle, and inferior—only the inferior one has provided him with a safety net, preventing him from suffering a major defeat.

However, it is undeniable that the current situation is no longer under his control.

Looking back now, it's clear that he didn't make the most of Guanghai's resources, and his surveillance wasn't thorough enough, ultimately resulting in two more fish slipping through the net.

If only I could do it all over again.

Just then. "Hmm?"

Suddenly, the First Saint's heart stirred slightly as he sensed the change in the [Destiny]. He then raised his head and cast his gaze toward a sealed-off realm of light and space.

Three days passed in a flash.

At the boundary between the Sea of ​​Light and the Desolate Heaven, in the vast Sea of ​​Light, Sword Lord, Cang Hao, and Wan Fa arrived as promised. The Heavenly Dao hung high, sealing off the universe.

On the other side, Lü Yang and Si Chong also arrived one after another.

In addition, there was another person accompanying them. When the three Sword Lords saw this, their faces immediately showed a strange expression: "Wanbao, you are quite carefree."

The visitor was none other than the World Honored One.

In the eyes of the three sword masters, the World Honored One had chosen an excellent time, not only perfectly jumping ship and preserving his strength, but also gaining Si Chong's trust in the process.

Back then, this bald monk was just like everyone else, a culprit who harmed Si Chong. Yet now, he's the only one living a carefree life, at least he has Si Chong as his backer, while the other three have to scheme against the First Saint, living in constant fear. It's truly a world apart.

What does it mean that choice is more important than effort?

That’s it!

"Amitabha."

On the other side, the World Honored One could naturally see what the three Sword Lords were thinking. He immediately smiled compassionately and chanted a Buddhist prayer: "Fellow Daoists, how have you been?"

"Wanbao. Hmph."

Cang Hao spoke first: "A dignified Dao Master, now you serve as a dog for a former lowly cultivator. More than 100,000 years of hard cultivation have all vanished. You seem quite proud of yourself?"

The Buddha's expression remained unchanged.

Just kidding. With his personality of turning a blind eye to insults, daring to kneel before a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and readily resorting to rebellion, how could he possibly care about such a trivial mockery?
"Gentlemen, please don't focus your energy on me."

"The person who came to gamble this time is not me."

The World Honored One smiled and shook his head, then took a step back, suppressing all his expressions, and stood beside Si Chong, allowing Lü Yang to stand at the very front.

On the other side, Sword Lord stopped Cang Hao from saying anything more, then stepped forward and stood opposite Lü Yang, cupping his hands in an ancient salute.

"I swear by the Way of Heaven."

Sword Lord's voice remained as cold as ever, his tone lingering: "If I win, fellow Daoist, you will need to offer up the Sea of ​​Consciousness of All Beings, enough to allow me to reclaim my position as Dao Lord."

"If you win, I will offer you the Heavenly Dao."

"Now that the Heavenly Dao has arrived, where do you, fellow Daoist, find your bargaining chips?"

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang glanced at him.

Upon seeing this, the World-Honored One shook his head, then slowly opened his palm, and in the center of his palm was a vast Buddhist kingdom that contained countless beings.

"The chips are here."

“If Fellow Daoist Nianyao wins, I will provide the sea of ​​consciousness of all living beings that you need.”

As soon as the words fell, the Heavenly Dao above the dome immediately responded, and Lü Yang and the Sword Lord felt the binding force from the darkness almost simultaneously.

This wager was a vow made willingly by both parties. With the current profound and complete perfection of the [Heavenly Dao], only one human stake is needed to complete its great power. If the vow is broken, it will inevitably trigger the backlash of [Fate], [Destiny], and [Predestination]. Anyone below the Dao Lord level will undoubtedly die.

In the next instant, Lü Yang and Jian Jun stood still in the void.

Sword Master, sword in hand, stared intently at Lü Yang with her beautiful eyes, and suddenly said, "Fellow Daoist, are you so confident of victory that you are certain Cang Hao will kill me?"

Lu Yang shook his head: "Senior is joking. How could I place my hopes on an outsider?"

"In the end, people have to rely on themselves."

Sword Lord glanced at him, knowing he wouldn't get anything out of him, so he said no more and bowed again: "In that case, I'll have to offend you."

Lü Yang gathered his sleeves and raised his hand in greeting:
"please!"
