Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 1366 Finally Got Fooled!
Dao Tianqi walked out openly and honestly.

This scene undoubtedly confirmed Chu Sheng's previous subjective speculation, and also corroborated another thing: the other party had also guessed his thoughts.

in short:
'My killing intent has been exposed, Xuande. This man has already guessed that I intend to kill him, which is why he so decisively revealed Dao Tianqi's awakening.'

With Dao Tianqi's awakening, the perfect plan for ascending to godhood was declared a failure. Not only that, he was forced to take a step down. Although he still stood at the very top of the "Other Shore," the lost power made the First Saint feel a long-lost sense of urgency.

That's not even the point.

The key is how the other party guessed it. They didn't even reveal their attitude, nor did they leave any clues that could be considered flaws.

'Could it be... like me?'

Purely subjective speculation?
The sage frowned. While the method of shooting the arrow first and then drawing the target was effective, it was conditional. At the very least, one had to have the ability to cover one's own weaknesses.

He dared to do this because he was of a high enough position.

But what about the other party?

'Although he has undergone a fundamental transformation, his rank is too low. At best, he can only contend with Wan Bao and rely on his immortality to entangle with other Dao Lords.'

With this, what will cover it up?
Thinking of this, a guess that had once flashed through his mind resurfaced, turning into a deep gloom that accumulated in his cold eyes.

'Start over.'

The sage's gaze sharpened. This feeling of being led by someone with every step might be something others would find daunting or even unbelievable.

However, for him, for the one who truly knew that secret, this feeling was enough to give rise to a subtle, almost imperceptible fear. Even though he suppressed this faint emotion in the next second, it still left a mark on his heart, making it unforgettable.

"How ridiculous."

Suddenly, Chu Sheng reached out and touched his cheek. There was some glistening moisture there, and the touch made him smile mockingly.

"Fear. It seems my cultivation of the primordial spirit is still insufficient."

In a daze, he seemed to have returned to the past, back to the time when he first obtained an extraordinary opportunity, and to the shocking record he saw in that book.

At first, he didn't believe it.

It wasn't until as time passed and the records in the book came true one by one that he finally believed in the book and deeply appreciated its value.

He was not actually a practitioner in the past.

On the contrary, he was just a cowardly mortal, lacking perseverance, wisdom, and determination, like dust in the glorious ancient times.

Why do other Daoist masters cultivate the awareness of good and evil, while he alone cultivates the Supreme Forgetfulness of Emotions? The fundamental reason is not that the Supreme Forgetfulness of Emotions is superior to the awareness of good and evil, but rather that it is the only way he can cultivate. If he did not cultivate the Supreme Forgetfulness of Emotions, his human nature would become uncontrollable.

If he can't control himself, it will affect his decision-making.

In other words, without the state of mind of "Supreme Forgetfulness," he cannot even be called a cultivator; he is merely a mortal with cultivation and realm but no real power.

And this is him.

The ending has already been clearly written in that book, which is why one must cultivate the "Supreme Forgetfulness of Emotions"—only in this way can one escape their predetermined fate.

To transcend it.

After a long silence, Chu Sheng finally let out a long breath, and then without any hesitation, wiped the glistening tears from his cheeks, reverting to his cold and indifferent demeanor.

There's no running away anymore.

'Let's consider the worst-case scenario. What if that Xuande, like I was back then, obtained that supreme power from the [Divine Decree Book]?'

'Then I must have failed once already.'

'However, I can't be completely powerless. The fact that I'm still alive means he didn't succeed. My previous self resisted.' Judging from his own experience, the First Saint could roughly deduce what kind of resistance it was, which made him even more eager to see the Grandmaster.

If the guess is true, then the book must have been updated!

"In my previous life, I must have left all the important information on it, so Xuande, who was spying on the Grandmaster, also wanted to know."

Therefore, the plan remains valid.

Soon, the First Sage came to a conclusion: 'He must have left a hidden device on the Ancestral Dragon. In that case, I'll use the Ancestral Dragon as bait to lure him here.'

If the other party takes the bait and follows the trail of the Ancestral Dragon, actively infiltrating the River of Time for the sake of becoming a Grandmaster, then their life or death will be out of their hands.

If he doesn't take the bait, then I can successfully retrieve the [Divine Fortune Book].

It’s a win-win situation either way.

Ultimately, as long as we guard against it strictly and only allow the First Emperor to enter the [Grandmaster] realm, even if Xuande has extraordinary abilities, he still won't be able to do anything about it.

Beyond the sea of ​​light lies a vast and ethereal void.

Lu Yang opened his eyes, looking at the now peaceful Underworld and the [Other Shore], a slight smile playing on his lips: 'Not bad, taking one more step down is a success. The First Saint should be getting anxious.'

Moreover, the World-Honored One had a backup plan.

Foundation building realm!
'To be fair, while the World Honored One's backup plans couldn't possibly defeat the First Saint, they were excellent choices for weakening him, and quite good indeed.'

'Perfect timing. Based on my experience from previous lives, once the World Honored One withdraws from the Foundation Establishment stage, the Other Shore collapses, forcing the Initial Saint to use the Refining Technique Secret Realm to fill the gap in the Foundation Establishment stage. In this way, I can also disable one of the Initial Saint's trump cards. I've had my eye on this thing for a long time.'

at this time.

"Hmm?" Lu Yang raised an eyebrow.

Suddenly, the panel of the [Book of a Hundred Generations] shone brightly, indicating that the [Outside Observer] had sensed something, and it seemed that the First Emperor had finally taken action.

The next second, Lü Yang's consciousness jumped through the [Book of a Hundred Lifetimes].

What came into view was the [True Lord of Azure Light] from the Underworld. He was walking along the road, leaving the Ghost Realm, and arriving at the location of the [Three Lives Stone].

Immediately afterwards, a thought of the primordial spirit arose.

The consciousness of the Ancestral Dragon quietly separated from [True Lord Biluo Fuguang], and Cangjiang Dragon Lord took his place. Everything happened without anyone noticing, but Lü Yang saw it all.

He saw the consciousness of the Ancestral Dragon arrive at the sealed place of its main body, and then follow the Great Dao of the Five Elements all the way upwards, finally arriving silently at the peak of the Other Shore, where it manifested as a strange young man, falling into a towering palm, with a pair of eyes above its head.

"What is it?" Zu Long's voice was cold.

"Go to the Grandmaster."

The First Sage said calmly, "While upholding the [Fame and Nature Seizure Law], retrieve a book for me. Remember, don't do anything unnecessary."

Zu Long was somewhat surprised to hear this:

"Why is it ahead of schedule?"

".Go ahead."

As soon as he finished speaking, his hand flipped over. Before the strange young man, who was the incarnation of the Ancestral Dragon, could even stand up, he felt dizzy and fell into darkness.

Almost simultaneously, Lü Yang, who had been observing from the shadows, suddenly brightened up.

Finally got fooled!
