Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 1322 Gambling Battle (Two more chapters at 10 PM)
【Tianhuang】

Above the sky, as the river of destiny surged forth, the sword light flowed downstream, seemingly trying to break through the barriers, but was always blocked outside the sky.

This is the transcendent essence of the spirit medium taking effect.

The [Heavenly Desolation] thus possesses the characteristic of transcendence. For cultivators whose essence is not up to par, even if they spend their entire lives, they will never be able to reach the [Heavenly Desolation].

However, the sword light did not intend to enter [Tianhuang]. It merely conveyed the message that it wanted to enter. Then it stopped outside and split into three, transforming into the figures of Sword Lord, Cang Hao, and Wan Fa. They did not speak, but stood quietly in place waiting.

A short while later, all three of them looked up at the same time.

As far as the eye could see, the sky was filled with light, and a young Taoist priest stood in the light, with a majestic heavenly palace, countless gods, and trillions of living beings reflected in his shadow behind him.

"It's you."

Cang Hao recognized Lü Yang first and frowned immediately. They had come to see Si Chong, but they did not expect that it would be Lü Yang who came to meet them.

On the other side, Jian Jun also frowned slightly, and a hint of surprise suddenly appeared in his beautiful eyes.

Once upon a time, Lü Yang was nothing to her. She was absolutely confident that she could take him down in a one-on-one fight, at most suffering minor injuries.

然而这一次不同了。

Although her cultivation level remained unchanged, she still keenly sensed that the energy flow around Lü Yang's body was now even more unfathomable than before.

More importantly, looking at Lü Yang, she suddenly felt a sense of crisis, a real life-or-death crisis. This was a spontaneous response from her primordial spirit, warning her that if she underestimated the person before her, she might perish if she was not careful! This outcome was really hard for her to accept.

How long has this person been cultivating?

He was in such a wretched state before, so how did he make such rapid progress in just ten years? How did he do it?
"I've met three seniors."

Lu Yang stepped forward, cupped his hands in a respectful greeting, and then smiled, saying, "I am deeply sorry for not welcoming you properly, three seniors. Are you here to visit [Tianhuang]?"

Upon hearing this, Sword Lord instantly suppressed all negative emotions, his eyes clear and calm, and said decisively, "We have come to surrender."

That's right, Lü Yang guessed correctly.

Ten years ago, after the three of them discovered that Chu Sheng was making underhanded moves but couldn't find anything out, they knew something was wrong.

At that time, Sword Lord actually wanted to turn against him, but Cang Hao sensed through [Qi Fate] that the initial saint's condition had suddenly improved significantly for some reason. If they really fought, he would not only be unable to suppress the initial saint, but would also suffer a great loss. Therefore, he finally suppressed his urge to take action.

Ten years have passed.

Seeing that the aura of the First Saint remained unchanged, but became increasingly profound and unfathomable, the three Dao Lords knew that the situation had spiraled out of control.

"We can help you deal with the First Saint."

Sword Lord said in a deep voice: "The Primordial Saint cannot be killed, but can be suppressed, just as the Heavenly Dao suppressed the Suppressor back then. The Heavenly Dao can now also suppress the Primordial Saint."

".oh?"

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang not only showed no delight, but instead frowned, seeing through the surface to the essence: 'These three never act until they see a clear benefit.'

'Why would they surrender for no reason?'

'Unless they've already sensed the crisis, what has the First Sage done? So, the urgency the Sage has felt over the past ten years is because of the First Sage?'

With his exceptional emotional intelligence, he naturally couldn't miss Si Chong's hidden worries and urgency. However, he didn't say it outright, as that would only cause more trouble. It was better to devote himself more to cultivation. As his cultivation became more and more perfect, Si Chong's mood also relaxed a lot.

With that in mind, Lü Yang immediately cut to the chase:
"What did the First Sage do?"

Sword Lord was not surprised to hear this, and immediately used his divine sense to describe what he had seen and heard ten years ago, including the desolate void he saw after going back in time.

"There's definitely something wrong with this."

At this point, Sword Lord also felt somewhat helpless and had to admit that his methods were inferior to those of the First Saint: "But we can't find the specific problem."

at this time.

Beside Lü Yang, Si Chong's primordial spirit appeared, staring intently at the desolate void created by the Sword Lord, and said in a low, eerie tone:

“It’s Zhong Hu, the second innate Dao God.” Ten years ago, only he, with his Dao Lord status, was able to travel through [time] and witness the conversation between the First Saint and Zhong Hu, which gave rise to a sense of urgency.

At this moment, since Sword Lord brought it up and Lü Yang was also present, he simply stopped hiding his story and recounted what he had seen and heard. Finally, he looked at Sword Lord and said in a deep voice, "Nian Yao, if you want to surrender, you must first hand over the [Heavenly Dao] and cooperate with me to integrate it into Lü Yang's place of enlightenment."

Si Chong's tone left no room for compromise.

The Heavenly Palace is now almost complete, just one step away. If the Heavenly Dao can be incorporated as a framework, it will surely elevate a Dao Lord.

On the other side, Sword Lord's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.

She almost instinctively wanted to refuse, after all, the Heavenly Dao was the foundation of her existence and the key to her future path, how could she easily give it to someone else?

Just then, Cang Hao suddenly spoke:

“The Heavenly Dao has been refined by Nianyao for many years, and her primordial spirit is connected to it. If it is handed over, Nianyao’s foundation will inevitably be damaged. This matter is absolutely unacceptable.”

His words were entirely for the sake of the Sword Lord.

However, Lü Yang's eyes suddenly lit up. He looked at Cang Hao intently and then said in a deep voice, "That's simple. We just need to do one match."

"Senior should still have fragments of the [Other Shore], right?"

At this point, Lü Yang pointed at Jian Jun, then at himself: "Let's have a duel, with the fragments of the Other Shore and the Heavenly Dao as the stakes."

"If I win, you must hand over the Heavenly Dao intact."

Upon hearing this, Sword Master frowned slightly: "...What if I win?"

Lu Yang waved his hand and said, "Then I will fill in the Ancestral Dragon's Sea of ​​Consciousness beneath the fragment of the Other Shore for you, senior, and help you return to the position of Dao Lord."

Upon hearing this, Sword Lord immediately narrowed his eyes.

".really?"

"Absolutely not an exaggeration!"

Lu Yang's words made Sword Lord change his mind instantly, and he immediately said, "By the [Heavenly Dao] as an oath, if you are willing, I will accept this bet."

“It’s a deal,” Lü Yang said decisively.

Upon hearing this, Sword Lord nodded: "Then let's meet here again in three days."

After saying this, she withdrew her divine sense and vanished along with Cang Hao and Wan Fa.

After that, Si Chong looked at Lü Yang with some doubt: "Why do you have to do this? Your chances of winning against Nian Yao are at most 30%."

This is not because Lü Yang is weak. On the contrary, he now has at least a chance of winning and is not certain to lose. It's just that the difference in their cultivation years is too great. Even with Dao Tianqi's wisdom to make up for it, plus his teachings, it will be difficult to bridge this gap in a short time.

However, Lü Yang appeared very confident.

They even went so far as to declare that if they lost, they would help Sword Lord fill in the fragments of the "Other Shore," which is tantamount to putting the lives of billions of people on the gambling table.

Now that things have come to this, Si Chong naturally doesn't believe that Lü Yang is that kind of beast.

In that case——

"Are you absolutely certain of victory?" Si Chong asked, somewhat surprised.

Lü Yang smiled and nodded:

"Senior, rest assured, if I am not mistaken, the outcome of this so-called duel was already decided the moment Sword Lord agreed."

　Two more chapters to come, updated before 10 PM.
