Struggling to Survive with Regression Power in the Primordial Saint Sect

Chapter 252: The Importance of a Clone

”Suo Huan, let’s talk this out.”

Inside the grand formation, Sui Ying looked at Suo Huan who was gradually approaching.

He finally let go of the pride of being the blood descendant of the Dragon Lord and lowered his dragon head, speaking in a low and submissive tone:

”My father is, after all, the Dragon Lord of the Four Seas Sect, and I am his direct descendant. If you kill me, my father will definitely sense it. By then, you too will have no place to be buried.”

”You set up this formation to trap me only because you want something. Spare my life, and you can take whatever you want from me.”

Under the eaves, one had no choice but to lower their head.

Sui Ying had intended to act tough, but Suo Huan was utterly unreasonable.

With the cultivation of a late-stage Foundation Establishment Great True Person, he had even set up a formation to deal with him.

Under the suppression of such cultivation, Sui Ying had no way to resist.

By the time he came to his senses, he was already suppressed within the formation, his entire magical power rendered useless.

If not for his dragon body, he would have died on the spot.

Moreover, hearing that Suo Huan truly intended to kill him, Sui Ying dared not act tough any longer.

He decisively chose to bow his head, only hoping to keep his life.

Such a flexible attitude made Suo Huan laugh heartily while clapping his hands:

”The True Dragon Clan truly lives up to its reputation.”

”No wonder the True Dragons were once hailed as the rulers of all rivers, lakes, and seas under heaven.”

”But when the four Dao Lords appeared, the Dragon Lord immediately abandoned the mainland, curling up overseas, leaving only the seas behind.”

”You!”

Sui Ying immediately showed anger upon hearing this.

The Dao Lords founding their sects and the True Dragons retreating overseas was a taboo topic in the Four Seas Sect.

After all, it was a great disgrace to the True Dragon Clan.

Yet, facing Suo Huanʼs overwhelming power, he had no choice but to suppress his anger and speak in a deep voice:

”Suo Huan! You outsider, do you really want to fight me to the death?”

”Fellow Daoist, you overestimate yourself.”

Suo Huanʼs smile gradually faded.

His entire magical power expanded without displaying any divine ability, but a long river hanging high in the sky appeared, stretching from south to north.

In an instant, the power and status of a Great True Person merged with the formation, creating a magnificent scene.

Shimmering water light scattered across the land, like the Milky Way descending from the heavens.

It crashed steadily onto Sui Ying, wrapping his dragon body as if encasing it in a delicate piece of amber.

”Roar!”

Sui Ying still had the will to struggle.

But Suo Huan, using the power and status of a Great True Person along with the formation, left him no room to survive.

The weak dragon roar quickly faded into silence.

In the end, Suo Huan collected the entire grand formation without leaving any trace, transforming it into a glowing pill that fell into his palm.

Only then did he turn to look at the mirror.

”A pure-blooded True Dragon, cultivating in 【Great Sea Water】, should be more than enough to refine the 【Heavenly Water Kan Harmony Treasure Pill】 you need.”

Hearing this, far away in the Primordial Saint Sect, True Person Miaoyin felt a chill in her heart.

Suo Huan showing such a terrifying method was certainly to capture Sui Ying alive.

But wasn’t it also a way to demonstrate his power to her?

This Great True Person from beyond the heavens truly possessed boundless divine abilities!

Thinking of this, True Person Miaoyin couldnʼt help but feel a surge of resentment toward Chong Guang.

ʼIf it werenʼt for his refusal to listen to me and insisting on seeking that Golden one, I would have had a perfected Foundation Establishment to guard my side. How would Suo Huan dare to act so arrogantly?ʼ

Though she thought this way, her face showed none of it.

Instead, she smiled sweetly and said:

”Thank you, Fellow Daoist Suo Huan. I have already arranged the Qi you requested. You should be able to find his whereabouts overseas soon.”

Suo Huan smiled upon hearing this:

”Oh? Who is it this time?”

”Chong Ming.”

True Person Miaoyin spoke calmly.

Chong Ming was originally her attempt to imitate the Lord of Mending Heaven Peak.

But now that Chong Guang was dead, Chong Ming himself was useless and could not help her overcome her tribulation.

She was forced to find another way and decided to make use of the waste by offering him as payment to Suo Huan.

Such a mentality made Suo Huan shake his head:

”Jiangbei Demon Sect truly lives up to its name. Though he is a natural-born spirit child, his foundation is not bad. Killing and refining him would at least yield a mid-grade Qi.”

”Then itʼs settled.”

True Person Miaoyin was indifferent, then changed the topic:

”As for Yuan Tu, I will be traveling with him soon to a world called 【Wan Wu Realm】.”

”Once we enter the 【Wan Wu Realm】, I will find a way to bring you in.”

”By then, in the outer world, you can kill him without anyone knowing. As long as we cover our traces well, even True Lords wonʼt be able to trace it back to us.”

Suo Huan’s eyes flashed with a mysterious light upon hearing this, but he quickly returned to normal and nodded:

”Then I shall wait for your good news.”

”As for this True Dragon, according to our old agreement, I’ll leave it to you first. We will have many more opportunities to work together in the future. I trust you won’t go back on your word.”

As his voice fell, the precious mirrorʼs brilliance flickered, and all the images suddenly disappeared.

In their place, the pill sealing Sui Ying was sent across thousands of miles and landed in True Person Miaoyinʼs hand.

She immediately showed a pleased expression:

”Indeed, this trip was not in vain.”

”Once I manage to refine this True Dragon.”

”And obtain a 【Heavenly Water Kan Harmony Treasure Pill】, if I also have the protection of a 【Spiritual Ruins Blessed Land】, I’ll have a seventy percent chance of surviving the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation this time.”

”Curse that Chong Guang. If he had been willing to sacrifice that 【Dongyang Blessed Land】 to help me break through back then, would I have had to go through all this trouble?”

In the empty palace, True Person Miaoyinʼs voice gradually lowered.

At the same time, Lu Yang stepped out of the Manifestation Pavilion.

Returning to Mount Luofeng, he cast a spell to seal his cave dwelling’s quiet chamber.

Only then did he take out the 【Nine Child Mother Heavenly Demon Immortal Execution Sword】 and a golden scroll.

『Secret Record of the Immortal Embryo’s Worldly Journey』!

This was the method suggested by the formation spirit of the pavilion after Lu Yang asked for a way to maximize the use of the 【Nine Child Mother Heavenly Demon Immortal Execution Sword】.

The essence of this secret art lay in the concepts of 【Immortal Embryo】 and 【Worldly Journey】.

As the name implied, it involved using top-grade rare treasures to nurture a Dao Seed.

Then, by continuously nurturing it with divine abilities day and night, it would eventually form a Dao Body, known as the 【Immortal Embryo】.

Using this Dao Body to experience the world was known as 【Worldly Journey】.

”In other words, itʼs a clone technique.”

However, unlike ordinary clones, the 【Immortal Embryo】 cultivated through this method was essentially similar to a spirit being.

Once formed, it possessed its own destiny.

Any actions taken by the Immortal Embryo would only involve the embryo itself when tracing karmic consequences.

Lu Yangʼs true body, hiding in the shadows, would not bear any of it.

Such a wondrous method was truly a technique to avoid disaster and tribulation.

The only flaw was that it could not transfer the calamities already tied to the true body.

After all, though the Immortal Embryo and the true body shared one mind, they were, in reality, two separate entities.

”In any case, it’s still usable.”

Lu Yang smiled slightly.

The 【Nine Child Mother Heavenly Demon Immortal Execution Sword】 happened to meet the standard for nurturing an Immortal Embryo.

The quality of the embryo refined from it would be excellent.

”Let it go to the outer world in my place!”

Although he had the 【Book of a Hundred Lifetimes】 as a safety net, Lu Yang had always acted cautiously.

Even in battles, he only picked on the weak, the old, the sick, and the disabled.

Not to mention that now his greatest backing, Chong Guang, had fallen.

True Lord Qingcheng Feixue was also about to go into seclusion.

Under these circumstances, going outside would only provide opportunities for those with ill intentions.

Thus, a 【Immortal Embryo Clone】 was extremely important to him now.

”The benefits go to the true body, the dangers are borne by the clone.”

”At the first sign of trouble, cut it off and flee. That’s the true use of a clone.”

Thinking of this, Lu Yang immediately performed a hand seal.

He reached out and gently tapped the 【Nine Child Mother Heavenly Demon Immortal Execution Sword】, causing a clear sword hum.

Then, he calculated the timing and thought to himself:

ʼAt most three months, and everything will be ready!ʼ

By then, he could head to the outer world, to the 【Wan Wu Realm】, to gather Qi, explore the wonders of second-grade true arts, and prepare for his breakthrough to the late stage of Foundation Establishment!
