Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 1354 The Sword Master Arrives
I've never seen it before.

Chu Sheng did not answer immediately, but thought for a moment, seemingly pondering, before shaking his head. He then looked at Lü Yang, his gaze suddenly hardening.

"That's not how it works." The First Sage's mind raced, and he immediately realized something was amiss: "The [Divine Decree Book] is a treasure passed down from ancient times. If this person truly had a close relationship with the ancients, how could he not know it? And since I'm impersonating that immortal, I certainly wouldn't be unaware of the book's name."

So in the next instant, he spoke decisively:
"The [Divine Decree Book] has been missing for many years. How could I have seen it? Do you have any clues?"

So that's the name of the unique book that can't be reset by the "Book of a Hundred Lifetimes"? I knew this old man had more to say!

Lu Yang's expression remained unchanged as he shook his head and said:

"I don't know either. This item was taken away by the [Ming Sect] and [Xiang Sect] back then. We left in a hurry, leaving only my uncle to guard it."

At this point, he showed a hint of shame.

Take advantage of the opportunity.

Since Chu Sheng speculated that [Jun] had already fallen out with his sect, he would directly confirm his point of view and provide some more clues along the way.

On the other side, the First Saint was indeed tempted.

'Have they really fallen out?'

'The reason for the falling out was that he abandoned that immortal in the Sea of ​​Light and fled for his life? Could it be that some great calamity occurred at the end of the ancient era?'

Thinking of this, the First Sage immediately sneered: "I don't want to talk about the past anymore. After you left, only I and the [Ming Sect] and [Xiang Sect] were left to fight each other. In the end, although I destroyed these two sects, I also perished. All my years of cultivation were in vain, and I had to reincarnate and start cultivating again."

After saying that, he shook his head again:
"I'm not afraid to tell you that I now hold the lineage of both the [Mingjiao] and [Xiangjiao] sects, but I haven't found that book."

"If you trust me, this is the answer."

"If you don't believe me, you can go and ask the other Dao Masters. I won't stop you, but I will never see you again. I have no more feelings for my sect."

"This senior uncle has misunderstood."

Upon seeing this, Lü Yang immediately panicked and hurriedly waved his hand, saying, "How could I not believe my martial uncle? It must be that the two great demonic sects hid it away."

However, he quickly cheered up again:

"In any case, the book must be here. My Uncle-Master Bu Xian had already divined it before I left, but he didn't know the exact location."

"By the way, speaking of Uncle-Master Bu Xian..."

"I have no interest in them."

Before Lü Yang could continue, the First Sage interrupted him directly. This was the benefit of "declaring beforehand that all ties have been severed"—it allowed him to refuse such conversations.

'What kind of fortune teller? If we really continue this conversation, I'll definitely be exposed.'

Immediately afterwards, the First Sage changed the subject:
"Then you can look around here, but don't take anyone else as a disciple. I've already made arrangements to transcend, and if you act recklessly, you might ruin my plans."

The initial explanation was not provided.

He didn't need to explain, because it concerned his progress in cultivation, and he had enough excuse not to reveal it. The other party had no reason to ask, and asking would only create problems.

Seeing this, Lü Yang quickly said, "I'm sorry to have troubled you, Uncle. I only wanted to pass on the Dao lineage because I saw that Angxiao was so talented and Guanghai has been revitalized. Also, there is a very peculiar thing in this world called Huiguang. I wonder if Uncle knows anything about it?"

"I don't know."

The First Sage shook his head: "After the ancient era, the Dao of the Sea of ​​Light underwent a dramatic change, and everyone thus possessed the light of wisdom. However, I cannot fathom the mysteries within it."

"Really? What a pity."

Lu Yang sighed, "Such a wondrous object can help people comprehend the Dao. It seems that after the Ancestral Dragon was born and the Sea of ​​Light was created, things have become much more friendly to cultivators."

"Back then, we didn't have any wisdom, and our cultivation was truly difficult. That's why we had to leave after colliding with the sea of ​​light."

What do you mean?
Upon hearing this, the First Sage's eyes flickered, and his mind raced: 'The ancient era wasn't the civilization born after the Sea of ​​Light, but rather the one on that celestial mountain?'

He was also familiar with the taboos surrounding Longhu Mountain.

At that moment, comparing the two explanations, it suddenly dawned on him: 'So that's how it is; that's why ancient civilizations perished. This explanation makes sense.'

"Of course it makes sense." Looking at the First Saint, Lü Yang chuckled inwardly.

Ultimately, this information was a secret that Zhong Hu had revealed to Chu Sheng in the previous life, but it was seen by Si Chong and then relayed to him.

"Alright, let's go now."

The next second, Chu Sheng decisively ended the conversation, then turned his gaze to Ang Xiao, his brows furrowing slightly, as if he was hesitant to make a move.

After all, Angxiao and Feixue are different.

Feixue's cultivation level is still too low. Now that things have come to this, he is pushing her growth with [Destiny], and their relationship is very close, which makes it easy for her consciousness to be altered.

But [Angxiao] is different.

His growth to this point has been largely due to his own hard work. He did consider taking action in advance, but the World Honored One dealt with him, and he ultimately failed.

In this situation, it would be difficult for him to drastically alter his memory.

But if he doesn't change it, judging from his attitude, he probably already guessed that there was something wrong with the underworld, and he probably won't follow the script he wrote afterward.

at this time.

"Don't worry, Uncle-Master." Lu Yang suddenly said, "Since this matter arose because of me, it should naturally be resolved by me. I will make proper arrangements for you."

"Then it's up to you."

The First Sage thought for a moment and nodded with pleasure.

'That is indeed an opportunity.'

'If he genuinely wants to help me, I'll save myself the trouble. If he has ulterior motives, then his identity is likely fabricated.'

The former is one thing, but the latter... he has to consider the worst-case scenario.

Thinking of this, Chu Sheng glanced once more at the depths of the Underworld, where the Ancestral Dragon was located. He was increasingly eager to examine the [Grandmaster] realm as soon as possible.

However, the First Emperor could not act rashly.

After all, its function is not only to check the [Grandmaster], but also because if [Angxiao] has a problem, the Ancestral Dragon and the Nascent Soul Pill are the key to ascending to the Divine Transformation Realm.

If it gets exposed beforehand, that would be a huge problem.

No, that won't do.

The moment the thought of hesitation arose, it was extinguished by the First Saint, whose eyes finally hardened with resolve: 'The current situation is treacherous; we must act swiftly and decisively.'

'The First Dragon cannot remain in the Underworld for the time being.'

'It's only truly secure when it's in my hands.'

The First Saint pondered that, with his own rank and strength, even in front of Lü Yang, it wasn't entirely hopeless to secretly take the Ancestral Dragon away.

Upon realizing this, he immediately decided to take action.

However, the next second, he seemed to suddenly sense something, and his originally poised aura suddenly froze, and he finally sighed silently.

The opportunity has passed.

Immediately, his avatar vanished, and the paused time resumed its course, leaving only his lingering gaze fixed on Lü Yang.

Almost at the same time.

"Tap, tap, tap"

Suddenly, soft footsteps came from outside the gates of hell, freezing the time that had just resumed its course and revealing a graceful figure.

The newcomer was exceptionally beautiful, with a cinnabar dot between his brows. He was dressed in white, with a cool and aloof expression, yet his beautiful eyes held a hidden passion, as if countless emotions were swirling within them.

The Sword Lord has arrived.
