Struggling to Survive with Regression Power in the Primordial Saint Sect

Chapter 324: Hope of Returning to the Peak!

To Lu Yangʼs surprise, this time, Ancestor Tingyou did not take long.

After merely a few hours, Ancestor Tingyou emerged from the All-Spirits Banner once again, his face showing a look of realization, along with some admiration and astonishment.

Lu Yang blinked upon seeing this. ”So fast?”

Upon hearing this, Ancestor Tingyou glanced at him and said irritably, ”Itʼs already considered slow. After all, I had previously organized the Emptiness Proof Method of this Innate True Person.”

Only then did Lu Yang recall.

Previously, when Chen Xinʼan was overwhelmed by the Dao of Death, he had handed over all the information he had obtained to Ancestor Tingyou. It seemed that the accumulation from that time had paid off.

”What about the other two books?”

”No need to look at the other two.”

Ancestor Tingyou shook his head. ”Each of those two has its own problems. They are of no use to you and will only mislead you.”

”…”

Lu Yang was speechless but not surprised. After all, both 『True Explanation of Observing Heaven and Earth in Emptiness』 and 『Upper Hao Golden Lamp Jade Light』 were obtained within the cave heaven.

Strictly speaking, those were things left behind by 【Ang Xiao】.

Although he had memorized the contents of the secret methods before, he had never practiced them, merely trading them with Hong Yun. Now it seemed that was indeed a wise decision.

That inherently evil old ghost 【Ang Xiao】!

After cursing 【Ang Xiao】 in his heart once more, Lu Yang felt a bit of sympathy for Hong Yun. This True Lord was truly unlucky.

Not only was he inexplicably trapped and killed in the great calamity five thousand years ago, but his soul was also extracted and refined by 【Ang Xiao】, losing most of his memories. Even the backup plan for his return was taken away. Now, he finally had a glimmer of hope, yet it was just bait released by 【Ang Xiao】. Truly, life was worse than death.

If it were me, I would have restarted long ago.

What? Hong Yun canʼt restart?

Then never mind!

Lu Yang collected his thoughts and turned to Ancestor Tingyou, eagerly asking, ”So, Ancestor, what insights have you gained? Is there a problem with this method?”

”Well, the method itself does have issues.”

Saying this, Ancestor Tingyou spread his hand and took out the 『Mystical Method of the Great Void Ritual』 connected to 【Wu You Tian】, confidently saying, ”But itʼs not a big problem.”

A gleam of spiritual light flashed in Ancestor Tingyouʼs eyes. ”According to my calculations, this secret method should have a backdoor, intended to reclaim the divine powers granted by 【Wu You Tian】 when necessary. Besides that, it has a deeper purpose, though I havenʼt yet comprehended it.”

”But as for the first layer, I can find a way to patch it.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Yangʼs face immediately showed joy. ”Ancestor, do you mean you can let me permanently possess the divine powers granted by 【Wu You Tian】?”

”You could say that.”

Ancestor Tingyou nodded. ”Itʼs not difficult. Just reverse the 『Mystical Method of the Great Void Ritual』. I just created a targeted secret method.”

Lu Yang opened his mouth in astonishment.

Just now, created a targeted secret method?

Is that even humanly possible?

”Oh right, thereʼs one more thing.”

At this moment, Ancestor Tingyou suddenly lowered his voice. ”When operating this 『Mystical Method of the Great Void Ritual』, the All-Spirits Banner seemed to respond as well.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Yang narrowed his eyes. ”So the All-Spirits Banner indeed!”

He had previously suspected that his All-Spirits Banner likely contained an unformed 【Wu You Tian】, but he never had evidence to prove it.

Now, the evidence had arrived!

”Ancestor, can you sense it?”

”You canʼt?”

This simple exchange made Lu Yang fall silent for a moment, while Ancestor Tingyou suddenly realized something and quickly took out a jade slip to write and draw on it.

”Alright, Iʼve modified the part of the 『Mystical Method of the Great Void Ritual』 that senses 【Wu You Tian】, changing the target to our All-Spirits Banner. The sensing method has also been simplified. The content is basically at a level you can understand. Try it and see if you can sense it?”

Lu Yang: ”…”

Although Ancestor Tingyouʼs words were full of concern, Lu Yang still felt a certain form of insult. However, he soon became cheerful.

My talent is indeed unparalleled!

Looking at the secret method he created based on his talent, Lu Yang found the content indeed concise and easy to understand. He immediately nodded in satisfaction and began to operate it.

ʼItʼs really there!ʼ

It was still the same All-Spirits Banner, yet at this moment, Lu Yangʼs perception was entirely different, as if he saw a vast and boundless realm!

In the next second, Lu Yang felt his consciousness fall from that realm back into his physical body in the present world. However, simultaneously, a mighty power originating from that realm was forcibly drawn out by him at the moment of their gaze and fell into his body!

”Hiss!”

In an instant, Lu Yang saw the 『Essence of All Flowers』, the Great Void divine power he obtained from 【Wu You Tian】, bloom with myriad splendid colors!

If the previous 『Essence of All Flowers』 was merely a delicate and beautiful dead object.

Then at this moment, it came alive!

”This is… the inherent rank of the innate divine power!”

Lu Yangʼs pupils contracted. The original Great Void divine power had no rank. Even if obtained, it only increased the number of divine powers but did not elevate the realm.

But now, it was different!

As the brilliance of the 『Essence of All Flowers』 merged into himself, Lu Yang clearly felt his realm ascending, breaking through the bottleneck of the mid-stage.

Three divine powers, Foundation Establishment mid-stage perfection!

At this moment, Lu Yang even felt a bit unreal. In his previous life, he had exhausted all means to reach this realm. In this life, he achieved it so quickly?

ʼNo, not yet. In my previous life, I even falsely held the position of a Great True Person. In this life, Iʼm still a bit short… but not far! If I enter 【Wu You Tian】 again and break through a tribulation, I can obtain two Great Void divine powers. Combined with the mystery of 【Holding the Law】, Iʼll have four divine powers!ʼ

Foundation Establishment late-stage, Great True Person?

Before Lu Yang could wake up from his beautiful reverie, suddenly, the 『Essence of All Flowers』, which had just been active, suddenly lost its divine brilliance.

In an instant, the living thing returned to being a dead object.

Lu Yang clearly felt the mighty power he had just drawn out being inexplicably pulled back, along with his magical power.

”Hu…”

Lu Yangʼs face instantly turned pale, then he exhaled a deep breath. After a long while, he recovered. ”Ancestor, whatʼs going on?”

Ancestor Tingyouʼs figure quietly appeared, his expression calm, obviously having foreseen this scene. He said indifferently, ”Although itʼs just a nascent form of a fruit position, itʼs still a colossal entity for you. Even a slight rank enhancement is more than you can bear. Getting injured is normal.”

Lu Yangʼs foundation was still too weak.

If his cultivation were at Foundation Establishment perfection, he could immediately draw the mysterious power from the All-Spirits Banner. Under the Golden Core, who could stop him?

Unfortunately, it couldnʼt be changed.

With his early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, without the 『Essence of All Flowers』 as a Great Void divine power as a guide, he couldnʼt draw out even a bit of mighty power.

ʼI see… but itʼs enough!ʼ

Lu Yangʼs eyes flickered, quickly calming the emotional fluctuations brought by the disparity: ʼEven if itʼs only for a short time, the improvement in my strength is a qualitative change!ʼ

At this moment, Lu Yangʼs mood was extremely urgent.

He wanted to venture into 【Wu You Tian】 again!

As long as he could obtain another Great Void divine power, he could grasp the combat power of a Great True Person level in a short time, directly returning to the peak state of his previous life!

ʼFor this, even if 【Wu You Tian】 truly has risks… itʼs worth the gamble!ʼ

At this moment, Lu Yang suddenly looked up.

Almost simultaneously, Daoist Dangmo, who was standing with his hands behind his back at the front of the boat, seemed to sense something, sighed, and looked into the distant sky.

”Whoosh whoosh!”

A cold wind blew, but in an instant, it turned into a bone-chilling, flesh-slicing gale. The world turned entirely red, as if stained with blood, illuminating a blazing celestial fire.

And beneath the celestial fire, several figures stood gracefully.

”Itʼs them!”

Beside Daoist Dangmo, the Human Immortal Yu Shao from the 【Xuanling Realm】 turned pale, trembling as he said, ”Itʼs Minghua Celestial and the others—theyʼve all come to kill!”
