Chapter 642: Heaven and hell are just a thought away, and the Five Poison Leaders surrender!

Lord of the Sacred Bright Dynasty?

Relive the Cycle of Reincarnation?

Supreme Dragon Emperor Dao Body?

Supreme Yin-Yang Great Dao?

Three hundred years of re-cultivation, daring the Empress to descend to the Underworld!

Elevate the Nascent Soul to a Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul!

The Five Poisons Cult Mistress was stunned by Lu Changsheng’s words!

As the leader of a Nascent Soul-level force, a True Monarch of the Nascent Soul stage, she had considerable knowledge of ancient secrets and had seen some records of the Central Plains in ancient texts.

Legends say that in the Central Plains, countless races coexist, with top-tier great cultivators establishing dynasties where immortals and mortals live together, and the dynasties govern cultivators, using the dynasty for cultivation!

She wasn’t clear on the specifics.

But she knew that being the lord of a dynasty in a cultivation holy land like the Central Plains was absolutely extraordinary, belonging to the ranks of top-tier great cultivators, True Venerables of the Deity Transformation stage!

The phrase ‘relive the cycle of reincarnation’ was similar.

Although the cultivation world had always had the concept of reincarnation and rebirth.

Very few people could truly unravel the mystery of reincarnation, the mystery of the womb, and awaken their past life’s wisdom! They were few and far between!

Even she, as a True Monarch of the Nascent Soul stage, if her future path collapsed, would not dare to say she could relive the cycle of reincarnation and have another life.

She was unsure about the ancient Dragon Emperor Saint King and the Dragon Emperor Dao Body, but she had to believe in the Supreme Yin-Yang Great Dao!

The Yin-Yang Great Millstone of Heaven and Earth, with its interwoven black and white divine light, above True Man Yang Ming’s head, could be said to reverse Yin and Yang, and overturn the cosmos. It definitely belonged to a top-tier Yin-Yang divine ability!

And the Brahma Demon True Body, the two forces of Buddhist light and demonic patterns, Buddhist nature and demonic intent, were displayed vividly yet harmoniously, as if representing Yin and Yang!

These two manifestations made saying ‘Supreme Yin-Yang Great Dao’ not an exaggeration at all!

‘Three hundred years of re-cultivation, daring the Empress to descend to the Underworld.’ This phrase likely meant that the person who harmed him in his previous life was an Empress? But such an existence would be at least at the Deity Transformation stage, right?

He could re-cultivate back to the Deity Transformation stage in three hundred years?

As for the last sentence, elevating the Nascent Soul to a Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul, the Five Poisons Cult Mistress still didn’t believe it.

The cultivation world had always had heavenly treasures, elixirs, and miraculous medicines that could enhance the quality of one’s foundation, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul.

But these pills and spiritual items were extremely rare.

Being able to elevate a Human Dao Nascent Soul to an Earth Dao Nascent Soul was already considered a supreme rare treasure, whose value was immeasurable and beyond imagination, let alone elevating it to the legendary Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul!

But at this moment, Lu Changsheng’s extraordinary combat power and performance made these shocking words seem somewhat real and credible to her.

After all, merely elevating a Human Dao Nascent Soul to an Earth Dao Nascent Soul, how could it be mentioned in the same breath as ‘Lord of the Sacred Bright Dynasty,’ ‘reliving the cycle of reincarnation,’ and ‘Supreme Yin-Yang Great Dao’!

Lu Changsheng focused his mind, his Taiyi Divine Soul observing the Five Poisons Cult Mistress’s situation. Seeing that she seemed affected by his words, he continued, “All things in the world are mutually reinforcing and restraining. Cause and effect, life and death, water and fire, righteousness and evil, all are difficult to escape the two characters ‘Yin-Yang’.”

“And the Supreme Dragon Emperor Dao Body is the most top-tier physique in the world, perfectly aligned with the Yin-Yang Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. Not only does cultivation progress rapidly without any bottlenecks, but it can also perfect the Great Dao through Yin-Yang dual cultivation!”

“This kind of dual cultivation not only perfects oneself but can also purify the talent and foundation of others through Yin-Yang dual cultivation and the Dragon Emperor’s origin! Even a shattered foundation, a low-grade杂丹 (za dan - mixed core), or a Human Dao Nascent Soul can be molded into a perfect foundation, an immortal Golden Core, a Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul!”

Lu Changsheng had already started to get into character at this point, spouting nonsense, but his entire demeanor was transcendent, like an emperor, uniquely supreme, reigning over the world!

He didn’t know if the Dragon Emperor Dao Body actually had this effect; the probability was high that it didn’t.

But this kind of thing, even Honglian didn’t know, and Lu Changsheng didn’t believe the Five Poisons Cult Mistress knew!

Even if she had heard of the Dragon Emperor Dao Body, could she be sure that the information she knew was complete and correct?

So Lu Changsheng directly attributed the effect of his own foundation to the Dragon Emperor Dao Body.

If he needed to make things up in the future, he could just use the Dragon Emperor Dao Body as a cover.

“This is impossible! How can such a physique exist in the world!”

Facing Lu Changsheng’s words and terrifying offensive, the Five Poisons Cult Mistress retreated step by step, her face pale and weak, but she still raised her doubts.

Although she had never heard of the Supreme Dragon Emperor Dao Body, she knew that a Dao Body couldn’t be so exaggerated!

If such a heaven-defying physique truly existed, what would be the meaning for cultivators like them who spent countless time and energy to improve their Nascent Soul foundation?

One must know that a heavenly treasure that could improve the quality of a Human Dao Nascent Soul slightly was already infinitely valuable, precious, and rare.

“Hmm? It seems she has a point. Even if a Dao Body is heaven-defying, it shouldn’t be much more exaggerated than a top-tier spiritual body.”

Lu Changsheng felt that what the Five Poisons Cult Mistress said made some sense.

Although his Yin-Yang Qi could improve the quality of the foundation and Golden Core, he hadn’t tried it on the Nascent Soul yet.

Moreover, improving the quality of the Golden Core was already so slow. Even if he broke through to the Nascent Soul stage and could improve its quality, it would probably require countless times of nurturing.

However, since the words were already spoken, the first thing was to believe them himself!

Lu Changsheng immediately put on an arrogant and disdainful expression and said, “That’s why I say your vision is too shallow, like a frog in a well!”

“In the vast Central Plains, kings rise together, and prodigies stand tall. Even among the three thousand Dao Bodies, my Dragon Emperor Dao Body ranks among the top ten. How could you possibly imagine it? If not for this peerless body, possessing the potential to become an immortal, why would I abandon my past life’s Great Dao and the foundation of my dynasty to relive the cycle of reincarnation!”

“If you don’t believe me, you can see later if the Misty True Core has already transformed from a fourth-grade True Core into a Golden Core? As long as I am willing, an Immortal Golden Core is nothing more than that.”

“You are currently in the Nascent Soul stage. Even with supreme cultivation methods and top-tier opportunities, it will be difficult for you to rise rapidly and break through to the Deity Transformation stage. But as long as you submit to me, once I break through to the Deity Transformation realm, I can spend the Yin-Yang Dragon Emperor’s origin to purify your Nascent Soul and elevate it to a Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul. At that time, you can return to the Central Plains with me, and Deity Transformation will not be the end!”

The more Lu Changsheng spoke, the more confident he became, even he himself couldn’t help but believe it and praised it loudly.

Although he wasn’t some Dragon Emperor Dao Body, how could his Chaos Body be worse than any Dragon Emperor Dao Body?

Even if it wasn’t as good now, it could instantly kill any Dao Body in the future!

Among myriad Dao Bodies, who is the peak? Upon seeing Chaos, all become void!

As for going to the Central Plains in the future and Deity Transformation not being the end, Lu Changsheng believed it was not empty talk.

With the system by his side, he had a confidence that no other cultivator possessed, and he was full of confidence about the future!

He was confident that as long as he stayed steady, becoming an immortal ancestor in the future was not impossible!

The Five Poisons Cult Mistress in front of him could become the leader of a cult and a True Monarch of the Nascent Soul stage. Her talent and aptitude were beyond doubt.

As long as she was willing to truly submit and assist him well, and then become the mother of his child, what would it matter if he helped her break through to the Deity Transformation stage at that time?

“Hmm, wait, her appearance… becoming the mother of his child? Isn’t that a bit perverted?”

As soon as the thought arose, Lu Changsheng felt something was not right.

But he was in high spirits at the moment and didn’t pay attention to these minor details. He continued, “Heaven and hell are but a single thought away. The path to immortality or the severing of your cultivation path, I presume the Cult Mistress understands this in her heart.”

“If you miss this opportunity, you will regret it for the rest of your life, and you can only wait for this venerable one to flatten the Five Poisons Cult another day!”

Lu Changsheng kept speaking, pushing the Yin-Yang Chaotic Cave Great Millstone, not giving the Five Poisons Cult Mistress too much time to breathe and think.

After all, if his words were carefully considered, the flaws and loopholes might be exposed.

The Five Poisons Cult Mistress held the five-colored long banner, her small lips tightly pursed, and did not speak.

Lu Changsheng’s uniquely supreme, lofty, and extremely confident words undoubtedly brought her a strong impact, and her heart began to waver.

One thought leads to heaven, one thought leads to hell!

No, perhaps only hell!

Although this True Man Yang Ming’s words were shocking and deafening, as if opening up a new world, how could she, who had reached this point step by step and become a Nascent Soul cultivator, completely believe such words!

If the other party truly possessed such heaven-reaching abilities, why would he constantly intimidate her with words?

Moreover, these words were too grand, too empty.

Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul, Deity Transformation is not the end!

If it were truly that simple, why would the entire Southern Wilderness cultivation world lack the appearance of Deity Transformation True Venerables, and how would the other party have reincarnated and re-cultivated!

But now she didn’t have much time to analyze, think, and judge.

If she didn’t agree and continued to delay, she would be unable to sustain herself and would only be able to escape the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss by having her Nascent Soul leave her body.

But once her Nascent Soul left her body, her future cultivation path would likely be half-crippled, making it difficult to advance even a single step!

Whether it was cooperating with Liang Country, interfering with the pioneering war before, or taking the risk to subdue this True Man Yang Ming, it was because she realized a great tribulation was coming, and given her cultivation situation, she feared she would be unable to overcome it on her own, so she was trying to improve her strength as much as possible.

Although she chose to rely on the Immortal Lotus Sect in the future.

But a top-tier force like the Immortal Lotus Sect had countless vassals under its name. When True Monarch White Lotus came back then, she merely casually placed a chess piece.

If she couldn’t demonstrate sufficient strength and potential in the future, she would never be able to cling to the big tree of the Immortal Lotus Sect!

“You are truly a devil.”

The Five Poisons Cult Mistress’s skirt was tattered, her black hair disheveled, and her face was pale, no longer possessing her previous majesty, forming a stark contrast with the majestic and imposing Lu Changsheng before her.

Under Lu Changsheng’s relentless assault, her inner defense line had collapsed, and she had the intention to submit, but she was still unwilling.

No matter what, she was also a True Monarch of the Nascent Soul stage, a top-tier existence in the cultivation world!

Even though she was severely injured and fled after being attacked by True Monarch Mysterious Sword in her early years, and was now being beaten back step by step by Lu Changsheng, it still didn’t affect her identity and status.

“Devil? This venerable one is merely opening up a heaven-reaching path for you, allowing your life to advance rapidly from now on, reaching a realm you once dreamed of, or even dared not imagine!”

Lu Changsheng saw that the Five Poisons Cult Mistress was already wavering and believed his words, thinking about how to break down her last bit of resistance.

He thought for a moment and said, “Even if you are affected by the backlash of the Gu worms, you will not completely sink. This venerable one can first show you the Yin-Yang Dragon Emperor’s origin. At that time, you will naturally know!”

“Furthermore, when I return to the Central Plains in the future, I intend to emulate the Dragon Emperor Saint King and establish a supreme sacred dynasty. If you perform well and assist me, I might even grant you the position of a Heavenly Consort and help you break through to the Grand Dao Nascent Soul stage in the future.”

“Supreme sacred dynasty? Grand Dao Nascent Soul?”

The Five Poisons Cult Master was momentarily confused.

“Heh heh, that’s why I say your vision is too shallow. Above the Human Dao, Earth Dao, and Heavenly Dao, there is naturally the Grand Dao Nascent Soul!”

“If you haven’t heard of it, you should know that one can break through the limit and undergo transformation even above a Perfect Dao Foundation.”

“Since that’s the case, who said that the Immortal Golden Core and Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul are the end? Just like me, my Golden Core is the supreme Yin-Yang Grand Dao Golden Core, and my future Nascent Soul will also be the Yin-Yang Myriad Law Grand Dao Nascent Soul!”

Regarding the Grand Dao Golden Core, Honglian had only heard rumors.

As for the Grand Dao Nascent Soul, Lu Changsheng didn’t know, and Honglian hadn’t heard of it either.

But not hearing of it was exactly right!

If Honglian hadn’t heard of it, then the Five Poisons Cult Master most likely hadn’t either.

Even if she had seen it in ancient texts by chance, it would only be a few words, vague and unclear.

Since that was the case, he might as well boast. He had already boasted to this extent, so a little more wouldn’t hurt.

Besides, looking at the Five Poisons Cult Master’s expression, she had already been bluffed.

But it was normal. His current situation, apart from reincarnation and re-cultivation, couldn’t be explained at all.

Lu Changsheng planned to directly claim the identity and origin of a powerful being who had reincarnated after breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Otherwise, his current situation – breaking through to Nascent Soul at over a hundred years old, possessing a pile of top-tier divine abilities, techniques, and Heaven-reaching Spirit Treasures – simply couldn’t be explained.

Even a Son of Destiny would be no more than this.

“I have said all I need to say. Whether you believe it or not is up to you. I am merely giving you an opportunity based on Mili’s face, given what I need now.”

Lu Changsheng said no more, fully operating the Yin-Yang Chaos Grinding Disc, causing the void of heaven and earth to rumble under the pressure.

Saying this much was already enough.

Continuing to ramble on would be counterproductive; too much is as bad as too little!

“Heaven and hell are but a single thought away… ultimately just a puppet slave.”

A hint of self-mockery appeared on the Five Poisons Cult Master’s pale little face.

Cultivating for several hundred years, scheming in various ways, only to reach this point today.

Now that a Grand Dao opportunity appeared before her, how could she not be swayed?

Even though True Monarch Yang Ming’s words were too false, too grand, and too empty, the means and situation he displayed made her unable to help but believe him!

Especially since she had paid attention to True Monarch Yang Ming’s intelligence information in order to deal with him.

The first time he appeared was in the Yin Nether Ghost Sect.

Although his combat power was outstanding, without the golden roc, he could only be considered a late-stage Golden Core grand cultivator.

The second time he appeared, he single-handedly suppressed the Corpse Crone and Murong Zhuifeng of the Heavenly Corpse Sect. This level of combat power already belonged to peak Golden Core existences.

The third time he appeared was during the pioneering war, where he could directly contend with the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master.

Now, for the fourth time, facing True Monarch Yang Ming herself, even though his cultivation hadn’t reached Golden Core completion, she was no match for him.

This speed of growth, combat power, means, and the partial cultivation techniques he provided, all indicated that the person before her had an extraordinary origin and was not an ordinary cultivator!

Furthermore, the situations involving Nangong Mili, Nangong Yaoyao, Nangong Minghuang, and others, all showed that True Monarch Yang Ming was extraordinary.

Although she hadn’t seen Nangong Mili’s Golden Core formation process, she knew her personality; it was very difficult for her to sincerely fall in love with someone.

“Pfft!”

While her thoughts were swirling, the Brahma Devil True Body suddenly struck with another sword, the brilliant sword light piercing through the void of heaven and earth, sending the Five Poisons Cult Master flying horizontally and spitting out another mouthful of blood.

The Five Poisons Cult Master coughed and said, “I am willing to surrender, but the Gu worm backlash is unacceptable.”

If it were a normal contract method, she could at least maintain her consciousness and escape her Nascent Soul in case of danger, finding a way to break free later.

However, once the Love Gu backlash from the Seven Absolutes Gu affected her, it would influence her consciousness.

At first, she could still maintain her original intentions and current consciousness.

But over time, she would completely sink under the Seven Absolutes Love Gu, unable to extricate herself, becoming his love slave, willing to dedicate her life and everything to him!

“Hmph, I always keep my word. If you are unwilling, you can escape your Nascent Soul and see if you can escape my Human Emperor Sword!”

Although Lu Changsheng could restrict the Five Poisons Cult Master through the sealing divine light of the Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone, the talisman restrictions from the Ninety-Nine Profound Talisman Scripture, or the Gu poison restrictions within the Myriad Calamities Poison Spirit Secret Canon.

But since the opponent could even suppress the effect of a fourth-tier spirit contract, he wasn’t entirely confident in these methods.

Although he couldn’t guarantee control over the Five Poisons Cult Master with her fourth-tier Gu worm, the effect should be better than his own methods.

Moreover, the Five Poisons Cult Master was severely injured now. As long as she allowed the Gu worm backlash, he could slowly find ways to completely control her later.

The Five Poisons Cult Master clenched her silver teeth. Seeing Lu Changsheng continue to attack, she still chose to release her resistance, signaling the Seven Absolutes Gu to give up resisting.

“Buzz buzz buzz!!!”

The Seven Absolutes Gu wailed and roared, as if saying, ‘Your subject wishes to fight to the death, why does Your Majesty surrender first?’.

Although the Peach Blossom Gu before it was extraordinary, it was still a major level below it.

Even though the Five Poisons Cult Master was being beaten back by Lu Changsheng, it had firmly suppressed the Peach Blossom Gu.

If not for Lu Changsheng possessing a Nascent Soul level Taiyi Divine Soul, it could have continuously eroded Lu Changsheng’s divine soul sea of consciousness even through the Peach Blossom Gu.

As the Five Poisons Cult Master gave up resisting, the Seven Absolutes Gu wailed and began to be suppressed by the Peach Blossom Gu.

“The difference between the third tier and the fourth tier is truly too great.”

Lu Changsheng watched the Peach Blossom Gu struggle to suppress the Seven Absolutes Gu, sighing inwardly. His Taiyi Divine Soul between his brows bloomed with endless soul light, illuminating the Peach Blossom Gu.

The Five Poisons Cult Master was not surprised that Lu Changsheng possessed a Nascent Soul level divine soul.

In fact, based on his previous words, she felt that having only a Nascent Soul divine soul was far from enough for Lu Changsheng.

However, at this time, separated by her physical aura, she couldn’t see Lu Changsheng’s divine soul situation in detail and could only guess that perhaps due to reincarnation, he only had a Nascent Soul divine soul.

“Whoosh!”

Seeing this efficiency, Lu Changsheng frowned slightly, then patted the Qiankun Shadow Binding Belt. An earthenware pot appeared, and a thumb-sized, blood-red, somewhat listless Gu worm emerged.

It was the Love Locking Gu!

Although Lu Changsheng had kept this Gu worm with him, he hadn’t used it much, nor had he put effort into cultivating it.

Seeing the Peach Blossom Gu’s combat power being just enough at this time, he motioned for this Love Locking Gu to go up and help a bit.

However, the Love Locking Gu didn’t even dare to approach the Seven Absolutes Gu’s aura, trembling.

Fortunately, with its big brother, the Peach Blossom Gu, it finally mustered the courage to step forward and assist in the suppression.

“This is… the Love Locking Gu?”

The Five Poisons Cult Master recognized the Love Locking Gu at a glance, her expression surprised and suspicious. She hadn’t expected Lu Changsheng to possess a Love Locking Gu in addition to top-tier Gu worms like the Peach Blossom Gu.

Although the Love Locking Gu was only an Earth Spirit Gu, it was still considered one of the top-tier Gu worms.

It was just that Lu Changsheng’s Love Locking Gu looked listless and had clearly not been properly cultivated.

“Could it be that the Heavenly Spider Emissary was also affected by this person using the Love Locking Gu? If so, this True Monarch Yang Ming is not some righteous figure.”

The Five Poisons Cult Master’s expression flickered, and she clenched her delicate fists tightly.

After all, as the Five Poisons Cult Master, allowing her own natal Gu worm to be suppressed by someone was truly humiliating!

“Mili also tried to influence me with a Love Gu in her early years, which led to her own backlash and being restrained by me, but the Love Gu has long since been removed.”

“As long as you sincerely surrender, how difficult would it be to remove the Love Gu in the future? I can promise you that as long as you perform well, the day I break through to the Nascent Soul stage, I will remove the Love Gu for you and give you a choice.”

Lu Changsheng noticed that the Five Poisons Cult Master was still hesitating and said calmly, his tranquil and indifferent words full of confidence.

He couldn’t completely control the Five Poisons Cult Master now and couldn’t kill her easily.

But once he broke through to Nascent Soul, no matter how many Five Poisons Cult Masters there were, they would be nothing more than a rabble, easily suppressed with a wave of his hand.

At that time, it wouldn’t matter whether there was a Love Gu or not.

“Will I still have a choice then?”

The Five Poisons Cult Master said with a hint of helpless self-mockery.

If she were influenced and sunk by the Seven Absolutes Love Gu, unable to extricate herself, she might even not want to remove the Love Gu.

Moreover, with the opponent’s strength, if he broke through to Nascent Soul, she would have no choice but to surrender at that time.

However, thinking of the opponent’s strength and words, she still decided to take a gamble!

“I always keep my word. As long as you are sincere, you will not only have the right to choose, but you can also embark on the Grand Dao, advance triumphantly, become a Great True Monarch worshipped by countless people, a Deity Transformation True Venerable, shake the Southern Wilderness, and amaze the ages.”

“In the future, you will be grateful for the choice you made.”

Lu Changsheng said with a light smile, his demeanor transcendent and detached, his tone extremely grand.

At this moment, he had entered the zone, believing himself omnipotent, which caused the Five Poisons Cult Master to be influenced by his words as well.

After all, talking about Nascent Soul Great True Monarchs and Deity Transformation True Venerables, shaking the Southern Wilderness and Central Plains, was truly astonishing.

One must know that as cultivators embark on the path of immortality and their cultivation realm increases, the more they revere heaven and earth.

If not for Lu Changsheng still lacking some of the temperament and divine charm of someone who had experienced the passage of time and reincarnation, his words would be even more convincing.

Time passed little by little. After a long while.

“Buzz!”

Under the suppression of the Peach Blossom Gu and the Love Locking Gu, the Seven Absolutes Gu finally let out a wail and was suppressed by the Peach Blossom Gu and the Love Locking Gu.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng felt a subtle connection with the Five Poisons Cult Master.

It was like the love threads of the Love Locking Gu, but also slightly different.

He looked towards the Five Poisons Cult Master.

The Five Poisons Cult Master, with her torn dress and pale, weak little face, seemed to sense something and looked up towards Lu Changsheng.

Their eyes met.

Lu Changsheng saw a somewhat complicated sense of closeness in her eyes, knowing that the Love Gu had taken effect.
