Struggling to Survive with Regression Power in the Primordial Saint Sect

At first, it was just one person.

“My Taixu Divine Ability?”

This True Person was quite enthusiastic about the \[Heaven of Non-Existence], having already passed the first tribulation. However, the divine ability he obtained was the lowest grade, the \[White Bone Observation].

Nevertheless, passing the first tribulation was still enough to demonstrate his strength, at least showing some merit. There were countless True Persons like him across the world, and at this moment, all of them harbored the same doubt, watching as their Sea of Consciousness radiated light, and the Taixu Divine Ability they had previously obtained blossomed with brilliance.

This change spread across the world at a speed visible to the naked eye.

How vast was the influence of the \[Heaven of Non-Existence]?

After all, it was a free divine ability. Although it didn’t provide a rank, its cultivation difficulty was far less than other innate divine abilities. Who would mind having one more?

Therefore, even though it hadn’t been around for long,

The divine abilities bestowed by the \[Heaven of Non-Existence] had already spread throughout the east, west, south, and north, even reaching overseas, with many True Persons cultivating them. It could be said to have swept across the world.

Thus, this anomaly was also sweeping across the world.

At the same time, in the north of the river, above the Sky-reaching Sea of Clouds, purple qi had long filled the sky, with several fruit-position stars radiating brilliant light, clashing head-on with the purple qi.

Just like the past pursuit of gold by Chong Guang.

However, in the next second, the group of True Lords who had been engaged in fierce battle suddenly stopped their actions. The fruit-position stars trembled, and they all sensed the anomaly in heaven and earth.

“What’s going on?”

“Something’s not right. Why is there a disturbance in the fruit positions?”

“Ang Xiao, what underhanded methods have you used again?”

On the other side, with purple qi surging, Ang Xiao’s expression also changed at this moment because he discovered that this anomaly had actually affected him as well.

‘What’s happening? Who is scheming in the dark?’

Although he was habitually blamed, Ang Xiao was deeply scheming. He immediately went along with the situation, chuckled lightly, and said, “This has nothing to do with me.”

Denial was admission!

If Ang Xiao had remained silent, it would have been fine. But once he spoke, he was immediately labeled as the culprit of the anomaly by the True Lords of the world, and they were about to take action again.

On the contrary, the True Lord Qing Chen Feixue, who had just been at the forefront and the most aggressive against Ang Xiao, narrowed her eyes, seemingly having guessed something. Not only did she not make another move, but she also took the initiative to distance herself, carefully sensing the state of her fruit position, with a look of astonishment in her beautiful eyes.

‘Chong Guang.’

Boom!

In the next second, countless brilliant lights appeared above the firmament, the \[Heaven of Non-Existence] opened wide, revealing a figure sitting cross-legged, exuding sharpness.

“It’s the fruit position manifested by that Kong Zheng.”

“Mu Changsheng chose a good time. Compared to him, Ang Xiao is more important. Let’s keep him for now; dealing with this person later won’t hurt.”

“.Wait, something’s not right!”

At first, the True Lords were quite calm. After all, even if the \[Heaven of Non-Existence] was truly achieved, it would just be one more early-stage Golden Core True Lord.

Would it affect the overall situation of the world?

Yes, but not much.

Therefore, at first, no True Lord paid attention. However, soon, as the anomaly in the fruit position became more significant, some began to feel uneasy.

What exactly was going on?

Some True Lords even suspected their own Dao Lords, thinking they were up to something. Otherwise, how could it affect the changes in the fruit positions?

“Look down.”

In the next second, the manifested \[Heaven of Non-Existence] revealed Chong Guang’s figure. His lips moved, and a calm yet powerful voice echoed:

“Residing high above, how long has it been since you all have looked directly at the world?”

In the fragment of the Heavenly Court in the Xuanling Realm, within the \[Southern Heavenly Gate].

Lü Yang’s avatar sat cross-legged, quietly watching the figure before him. Not only him, but also the Yun Family Patriarch and True Person Xiu Xin saw the same figure.

Throughout the world, all cultivators who had passed through the \[Heaven of Non-Existence] and possessed the Taixu Divine Ability fell into a trance, as if their spirits were wandering the Taixu, arriving at the \[Heaven of Non-Existence], standing beside Chong Guang—one, ten, a hundred... forming an indescribable tide!

The tide rose and fell.

Under the support of this invisible tide, Chong Guang’s figure became increasingly clear, with steps appearing beneath his feet. He calmly ascended step by step.

With each step he took, the \[Heaven of Non-Existence] rose higher.

As the \[Heaven of Non-Existence] rose, the True Lords of the world found their fruit positions sinking. In an instant, countless True Lords changed their expressions.

“So that’s how it is!”

This scene was also witnessed by Lü Yang and even Ancestor Ting You within the Myriad Spirits Banner. Especially Ancestor Ting You, whose expression was filled with indescribable astonishment and admiration.

“So that’s it. This is the second marvelous use of the 『Taixu Ritual Secret Art』 that I hadn’t deduced before—seizing the Dao foundations of the world. The Dao foundations that originally supported other fruit positions have been forcibly taken. The higher the \[Heaven of Non-Existence] rises, the lower the other fruit positions become!”

Ancestor Ting You’s reaction was remarkably swift.

Mu Changsheng’s scheme, and Chong Guang’s current actions, were almost instantly deduced by him due to his understanding of the 『Taixu Ritual Secret Art』.

At the same time, other True Lords also reacted.

‘You really succeeded.’

True Lord Qing Chen Feixue stood with her hands behind her back, her three thousand strands of black hair fluttering. Her beautiful and delicate face showed no trace of disappointment; instead, it bore a slight smile.

Unlike other early-stage Golden Core cultivators who were shocked and angry, her cultivation was extremely high, and her cave heaven remained intact. Her dependence on the fruit position had long been greatly reduced. Although she would be affected, it wouldn’t cause any harm. On the contrary, because she vaguely guessed Chong Guang’s plan, she showed an expression of excitement.

However, she was among the few.

“Stop!”

With a shout, heaven and earth changed instantly. A Buddhist light slowly rose—it was the True Lord from the Pure Land, the \[Bodhisattva of the Vase and Water Moon].

Her originally gentle face was now twisted with anger, revealing a wrathful expression. The white jade vase in her hand suddenly overturned and poured out.

“Boom!”

In an instant, rolling river water flowed out from the vase, rushing towards the direction of the \[Heaven of Non-Existence], obviously intending to stop Chong Guang’s ascension.

However, Chong Guang didn’t even glance at her.

He continued to ascend, and the attack launched by the \[Bodhisattva of the Vase and Water Moon] passed through the \[Heaven of Non-Existence] as if it were empty.

When falsehood is made real, the real becomes false; where there is non-being, there is being, and where there is being, there is non-being.

“What a fruit of illusion and reality. Perhaps not adept at combat, but mastering the changes between illusion and reality, it’s unparalleled in the world for preserving life, rarely can anyone touch it.”

“He is seizing the True Persons under our rule.”

“What does he intend to do?”

Under the gaze of all, Chong Guang walked all the way to the highest step. By this moment, many True Lords’ fruit positions had begun to become unstable.

Of course, this was not enough to affect the True Lords in position.

However, those not in position, still seeking the Golden Core, were unfortunate.

“No——!!!”

In the Sky-reaching Sea of Clouds, Hong Yun stared dumbfounded at the \[Overturned Lamp Flame] above his head. It flickered once and then vanished from the world.

——Chong Guang had specifically targeted the \[Overturned Lamp Flame].

After all, he was a True Person of the Holy Sect, and bearing grudges was a basic trait. The \[Overturned Lamp Flame] had no True Lord in position, so it was naturally the first to retreat into the Bitter Sea.

‘Why is it me again!?’

At this moment, Hong Yun had many curses to utter. After all, he was really about to succeed! But at the last moment, the cooked duck suddenly flew away?

He was still seeking the Golden Core!

The blessed land that had just flown halfway suddenly lost its destination. How could it be maintained? In an instant, it collapsed and turned into nothingness!

“Boom!”
