[Immortal Nexus Survival Guide]. What kind of talent is this?
Lu Yang couldn't make a guest. He had awakened quite a few golden talents so far, and even had two Perfected Lord-level golden talents.
However, other talents would clearly state their effects on the panel. This one alone left Lu Yang confused, completely unaware of its specific function. He could only ask [The Book of a Hundred Lifetimes] in his heart. Soon, a line of text emerged on the panel again:
[Can be used for verification.]
Aside from this, there were no new prompts. Lu Yang frowned. What did "used for comparison" mean? He subconsciously looked down.
At this moment, he was floating in the air with his [Dao Body].
Looking down, his gaze naturally fell upon the mortal body he had severed... Just then, the [Immortal Nexus Survival Guide] suddenly reacted:
[No trap. Safe to use.]
...Hmm?
Lu Yang raised his eyebrows slightly, remaining silent for a moment. Then, with a thought, he took out the [Avici Sword] of this anchor point and focused his attention.
Immediately after, the [Immortal Nexus Survival Guide] gave feedback again:
[Small trap. But with your current cultivation, this trap is meaningless and won't affect you. Don't worry, still safe to use.]
Lu Yang's eyes gradually brightened.
Immediately after, he recalled the [Great Derivation Spirit Refining Art] the World Honored One had given him earlier. This time, the feedback from the [Immortal Nexus Survival Guide] was incredibly intense.
[Huge trap! Do not use.]
I knew the World Honored One had no good intentions!
While grumbling in his heart, excitement gradually appeared on Lu Yang's face. He had clearly figured out the true usage of this golden talent.
Good talent, what a good talent! It can directly help me appraise what has a trap and what doesn't. If I had this talent back then, how could I have been pitted so miserably? Moreover, being able to appraise the [Great Derivation Spirit Refining Art] means this talent is useful even against Dao Lords!
It can even appraise the trap of Dao Lords!
Thinking of this, Lu Yang was extremely excited. It took a good while for him to regain his composure. The joy on his face faded, revealing a bit of helplessness.
A pity... its still not intelligent enough.
The [Immortal Nexus Survival Guide] could only appraise items. If it involved specific events or pits laid by Dao Lords manipulating karma, it was helpless.
For example, when the Saint Sect Ancestor set up a scheme to drive him to the Celestial Court, that wouldn't trigger feedback from the talent.
However, on the other hand, regarding the two Unorthodox Dao Fruits the World Honored One fed him—if he had this talent at that time, he could have discovered the problems within.
All in all, still very useful... not bad!
Lu Yang lowered his eyelids, still very satisfied with this talent. Then, he calmed his mind and merged the separated [Dao Body] with his original body.
However, right at this moment.
As Lu Yang's consciousness entered the host body, ripples rose in his consciousness sea. Immediately after, he saw light and shadows suddenly emerging in his originally calm consciousness sea.
Holy shit!?
In an instant, Lu Yang's pupils trembled violently.
Because although the emerging light and shadow were somewhat blurry, they weren't hard to identify. He recognized it almost at a glance: it was Sisui's remnant thought!
He restarting with me!?
In this instant, Lu Yang was so frightened that he almost immediately wanted to separate from his original body and then break through the void to run away. But his movements soon stopped.
No... How could [The Book of a Hundred Lifetimes] be that useless?
And the [Immortal Nexus Survival Guide]—its feedback on my original body just now was [No trap]. If there were danger, would it not alert me?
Trust in his cheat calmed Lu Yang down.
The result was as he expected. The Sisui remnant thought that had just emerged showed an unprecedented state of bewilderment, looking left and right with a dazed face.
Could it be that he was also washed clean by [The Book of a Hundred Lifetimes]?
Lu Yang had a vague realization. Sisui's remnant thought was rooted in his consciousness sea, almost merged with it. Was he brought over along with his cultivation?
Could it be the same as the Banner Spirits?
With some caution, Lu Yang carefully manifested his figure, cupped his hands toward Sisui's remnant thought, and said in a deep voice: "Fellow Daoist Sisui, I believe you have been well since we last met?"
As his voice fell, Sisui in the consciousness sea suddenly raised his head, like a machine whose start button had been pressed. The confusion on his face was swept away, followed by a deep exhalation of turbid air. He smiled bitterly: "I've made a fool of myself in front of Fellow Daoist. It's truly such a miraculous encounter, and hard to understand for a moment."
"Oh? What miraculous encounter?" Lu Yang asked knowingly.
"Naturally, my miraculous encounter."
Sisui's tone was normal as he said calmly: "Only today do I know Fellow Daoist's value. I am now completely bound to your consciousness sea. It is truly a heavenly opportunity."
"In the future when you transcends and ascends to the [Paramita]."
"Perhaps I can also gain some assistance, transforming from the Dao Lord's divine intent to reawaken my true body within the [Paramita], or even replace it!"
The current Sisui was unprecedentedly sober.
In the previous life, Sisui still claimed to be the Dao Lord of the past himself, refusing to accept that he was merely a remnant divine intent mixed within a roar before the Dao Lord's death.
But now, he simply admitted it.
After a moment of silence, Lu Yang suddenly spoke: "Raise your hands."
"Hmm?" Hearing this, Sisui raised both hands, puzzled: "What does Fellow Daoist mean by this?"
"Squat down."
Sisui obediently squatted down with a face full of confusion.
"Bark like a dog."
"Woof woof!"
Looking at Sisui, who spoke without hesitation despite still looking confused, Lu Yang finally felt a bit relieved, thinking it shouldn't be a big problem.
After all, the World Honored One was a minority.
As a remnant thought of the divine intent left by a Dao Lord and related to a Dao Lord, Sisui was ultimately proud and arrogant. Theoretically, it was impossible for him to really bark like a dog.
But he still did it.
This showed that his commands were effective on him. The opponent's state was similar to the Banner Spirits in the Righteous Dao Banner.
At the same time, Lu Yang could also sense the connection between his own consciousness sea and Sisui's remnant thought. In other words, if he wanted to kill the opponent, it would actually be very simple.
Self-destruction would do.
After all, his [Dao Body] was now the primary entity. Although the original body was important, it wasn't indispensable. As long as he blew up the consciousness sea, Sisui's remnant thought would also die.
Plus, there was the verification from the [Immortal Nexus Survival Guide].
He could distrust anyone, but he couldn't distrust his own cheat. The valur of talents produced by [The Book of a Hundred Lifetimes] had always been unquestionable.
With this thought, Lu Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Just a false alarm!
After thinking it through, Lu Yang's thoughts instantly became lively. His eyes looked brightly at Sisui's remnant thought, quickly realizing the opponent's value.
This was a super treasury!
A remnant thought of the divine intent left by a Dao Lord, and clearly retaining part of the memories of the former Dao Lord—this part of the memories was a priceless treasure to him!
Without hesitation, Lu Yang immediately lowered his voice and asked:
"May I ask Fellow Daoist, how can we Golden Core cultivators attain the Nascent Soul?"
