Struggling to Survive with Regression Power in the Primordial Saint Sect

Chapter 153: The Peak Lord’s Wife

In Luo Feng Mountain, inside a quiet chamber.

Lu Yang sat cross-legged, silently operating a secret technique to contact the Banner Spirit Chen Xinʼan inside Mending Heaven Peak.

Very soon, he saw the current situation of the Banner Spirit Chen Xinʼan.

At this moment, Chen Xinʼan had become completely different from when they first met.

The Peak Lord of Mending Heaven Peak had spent a huge fortune to help him condense a physical body and improve his cultivation.

He lacked neither heavenly treasures nor earthly materials.

After so many years, he had already achieved great success in his cultivation, reaching the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.

He was now ready to attempt breaking through to Foundation Establishment.

”This is indeed a stroke of fortune for you.”

Lu Yang nodded slightly.

In fact, most of the Banner Spirits in the Myriad Spirits Banner were unable to improve their strength.

After all, strictly speaking, Banner Spirits were already dead.

However, the leading few Banner Spirits were different.

Su Nu, Master Ting You, the Peak Lordʼs split soul, Chen Xinʼan, and the newly acquired soul of the Yun Familyʼs old ancestor were, in essence, all living beings who had entered the banner.

Such Banner Spirits still had the chance to return to life.

For them, the Myriad Spirits Banner served more as a restraint, preventing them from harming Lu Yang, rather than restricting their own cultivation progress.

However, among these Banner Spirits, Chen Xinʼan was the weakest.

After all, the others had all once reached Foundation Establishment, except for him.

If it werenʼt for the Peak Lord of Mending Heaven Peak putting in great effort and investing who knows how much in spiritual resources and materials, Chen Xinʼan probably wouldnʼt have his current cultivation level.

”All thanks to Master’s support.”

Within Mending Heaven Peak, Chen Xinʼan, without hesitation, took out the golden relic just sent by the Peak Lord of Mending Heaven Peak.

”Master, this is your subordinateʼs harvest.”

Lu Yang was quite satisfied with Chen Xinʼanʼs attitude.

Although he did not care about such a mere golden relic, this was a matter of attitude.

He could choose not to accept it, but Chen Xinʼan could not afford not to offer it!

Seeing Chen Xinʼan being so considerate, Lu Yang felt even more reassured.

”Keep it.”

Lu Yang shook his head.

”Since you have this opportunity, you must seize it.”

”If you can achieve Foundation Establishment this time, it will be a great help to me in the future.”

”Understood!”

Upon hearing this, Chen Xinʼan felt emotional about his good fortune.

Back then, if Lu Yang had not personally chosen him, he would probably still be an ordinary Banner Spirit inside the Myriad Spirits Banner.

Actually, being an ordinary Banner Spirit wasn’t necessarily bad.

However, becoming a Foundation Establishment Banner Spirit would broaden his horizons even more!

Seeing this, Lu Yang nodded slightly.

In the next moment, Lu Yang parted his lips and teeth, speaking words that blossomed with divine radiance.

With a majestic voice, he declared:

”Myriad Spirits Banner, Chen Xinʼan, may establish the Foundation of the Great Dao!”

[Clarity of Right and Wrong]!

Lu Yang had previously used this divine ability to bless Zhao Xuhe, increasing his chances of Foundation Establishment by ten percent.

Now, he used it on Chen Xinʼan as well.

”Chen Xinʼanʼs body was crafted from Foundation Establishment-grade rare materials, giving him a ten percent success rate.”

”Adding in the third-grade Mending Heaven True Qi, the great divine ability, and the golden relic, that’s a forty percent success rate.”

”With my divine ability blessing, it becomes fifty percent.”

”Among the true disciples, this is considered a high success rate.”

Thinking of this, Lu Yangʼs expression became a little strange.

After all, he had merely spoken a few words using his divine ability.

Yet the Peak Lord of Mending Heaven Peak had spent both money and effort, racking his brains trying to cultivate a Foundation Establishment for him.

Wouldnʼt this be too hurtful to the Peak Lord?

At that moment, Lu Yangʼs eyebrows suddenly twitched.

A gentle breeze blew in, carrying an unexpected fragrance.

A graceful woman stepped forward along with the scent.

The woman had a face like a blooming flower, wearing a fiery red long dress, as dazzling as a blooming rose.

Yet her demeanor was dignified, clearly someone accustomed to high status.

At this moment, she slightly bowed and parted her red lips.

”This humble wife, Ruo Xiang, greets Daoist Friend Yuan Tu.”

Seeing this, Lu Yang raised his eyebrows slightly.

He immediately performed a calculation and soon revealed a surprised expression.

”Mending Heaven Peak actually has a second Foundation Establishment True Person?”

He had never heard of this before!

Ruo Xiang seemed to notice Lu Yang’s surprise and chuckled softly.

”This humble wife attained the Dao long ago, but my cultivation is not high.”

”Thus, I have always kept a low profile for the past century.”

”Daoist Friend Yuan Tu has only recently attained the Dao, so it’s understandable that you didn’t know about me.”

Although she spoke so, Lu Yang suspected that Ruo Xiang had deliberately concealed her background.

At this moment, she seemed to have come specifically to reveal her connection to him.

”I see.”

With Ruo Xiang’s cooperation, Lu Yang quickly calculated the sequence of events.

He commented in an odd tone:

”Daoist Friend, coming to see me in secret without informing Senior Bu Tian, isn’t that inappropriate?”

”What’s inappropriate about it?”

Ruo Xiang pouted slightly upon hearing this.

”That old man is fully focused on protecting someone in seclusion right now.”

”He doesn’t have time to care about me.”

”Rest assured, he won’t find out.”

As her words fell, the Peak Lord’s wife of Mending Heaven Peak glanced around.

She then took out a strip of red gauze and raised it into the air.

In an instant, the red gauze enveloped the entire hall.

Lu Yang, standing within, clearly felt that this spiritual treasure had the effect of concealing cause and effect.

Once the red gauze descended, the inside was completely isolated from the outside.

Unless one possessed a heaven-defying treasure like the 【Heaven Surveying Instrument】, nothing that happened inside the red gauze would be detected by outsiders.

Seeing this, Lu Yang raised his eyebrows slightly.

”Daoist Friend, what exactly do you want to do?”

As soon as he spoke, Ruo Xiang said softly:

”To be frank, I wish to kill Chen Taihe!”

As her words fell, Lu Yang was momentarily stunned.

But he quickly regained his composure.

”Daoist Friend wants to kill Senior Bu Tian, but what does that have to do with me?”

”Because you also wish to harm him!”

Ruo Xiang smiled.

”I know about the deal between him and you.”

”But as a True Person of the Primordial Saint Sect, how could you have no ulterior motives?”

”Why else would you have given him that relic so easily?”

Lu Yang: ”…”

So, it really was the aftershock of triggering the Earth Vein.

Fortunately, judging from this Peak Lord’s wife’s words and attitude, she seemed to be on his side.

Even so, Lu Yang still did not fully trust her.

”Daoist Friend, there is no need to be suspicious.”

Ruo Xiang softened her voice upon seeing Lu Yang’s caution.

”Although I became Dao companions with Chen Taihe, it was actually only for the sake of cultivation.”

”The son and daughter we bore each have their own uses.”

”However, Chen Taihe no longer cares about my needs.”

”Naturally, I have to seek another path.”

”Your needs are unmet?”

”What do you mean by that?” Lu Yang asked curiously.

Ruo Xiang sighed softly upon hearing this.

”My lifespan in this lifetime is running out.”

”In thirty more years, I will have to reincarnate.”

”And this is already my second reincarnation.”

”With my limited cultivation, I fear I won’t be able to break through the Fetal Mystery in my third life.”

Although, in theory, a Foundation Establishment True Person could reincarnate five times.

In practice, only the first reincarnation had a ninety percent chance of returning to Foundation Establishment.

Starting from the second reincarnation, the difficulty increased greatly.

If their Dao attainment was insufficient, the reincarnated True Person might get trapped by the Fetal Mystery and end up as an ordinary person.

Generally, only those in the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment could securely return in the second reincarnation.

Late-stage Foundation Establishment meant four safe reincarnations.

Only those who reached Great Perfection in Foundation Establishment could truly live five lives, surviving a thousand years.

Just like Master Ting You, who had been hiding in the secret realm until now.

From Lu Yangʼs perspective, Ruo Xiang had not even refined her Life-bound Divine Ability.

With such Dao attainment, her second reincarnation was indeed filled with danger.

No wonder she was getting anxious.

However, what did this have to do with the Peak Lord of Mending Heaven Peak?

”I know my cultivation is shallow and my Dao attainment is insufficient.”

”Reincarnation is difficult.”

”So, I specially requested a secret technique from the Primordial Saint Sect.”

Ruo Xiang gently explained, her red lips parting slightly:

”This technique is called the 【True Method of Two Bodies One Heart】.”

”It allows me to merge my soul with that of one of my bloodline descendants.”

”Once the secret technique is completed, I can share all experiences and insights with the other party.”

”In this way, even if I reincarnate, I can quickly break through the Fetal Mystery through the connection of the secret technique.”

”And awaken the memories of my previous life.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Yang already understood.

The Peak Lord of Mending Heaven Peak wanted to use their children as scapegoats to bear the calamity, meaning their children must die.

Ruo Xiang wanted to use her children to awaken her reincarnated self, meaning her children must live.

—This was a conflict of the Dao!

No wonder the Peak Lord’s wife had entered with her first words being that she wanted to kill the Peak Lord.

After all, if she did not kill him, she herself would be the one to die.
