Struggling to Survive with Regression Power in the Primordial Saint Sect

Chapter 359: Borrowing a Corpse to Return the Soul

”Truly alive?”

After hearing Lu Yangʼs words, Ancestor Tingyou was slightly taken aback. He then accepted the 『Secret Record of the Immortal Fetus Dwelling in the World』 handed over by Lu Yang, and began to peruse it with a slight frown.

After a moment, he exhaled a deep breath.

”It is indeed possible.”

However, after speaking, he looked at Lu Yang and said in a low voice, ”Why have you suddenly thought of reviving me? That True Lord has not died yet.”

”Does Ancestor not wish to take revenge personally?”

Lu Yang said solemnly, ”There are still fifty years. If Ancestor can truly be revived and return to the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, there is still hope to break through to the Golden Core!”

Upon hearing this, Ancestor Tingyou became even more puzzled and frowned, ”Break through to the Golden Core... How is there hope? That old ghost from the Ye family is merely in seclusion and has not fallen. The 【Wall Soil】 still has a master. Even if I recover my former peak, itʼs impossible to seek the Golden Core. I would still be a dried-up corpse in the grave.”

”There is hope, Ancestor.”

Lu Yang pointed to the All-Spirits Banner behind him, ”With Ancestorʼs talent, if you can assimilate the embryonic fruit position within, wouldnʼt there be hope?”

Upon hearing this, Ancestor Tingyou was immediately stunned.

He had never considered the embryonic fruit position within the All-Spirits Banner, because in his view, that was undoubtedly Lu Yangʼs trump card for seeking the Golden Core.

But now, he wanted to give it to himself?

”...No!”

Ancestor Tingyou immediately shook his head, ”The Golden Position is hard to obtain. This embryonic fruit position is very important to you. If I use it, it will not benefit your path.”

However, Lu Yang waved his hand, ”My mind is made up, no need to say more. Ancestor, you also know that itʼs very difficult for me to reach the step of seeking the Golden Core within fifty years. But you have hope. Once you break through first, you can then support me in seeking the Golden Core. This is the method to maximize benefits.”

”After all, we still need to revive the Witch Ghost Path, donʼt we?”

At this point, Lu Yang showed a bright smile, ”Given time, if Ancestor personally slays that old ghost from the Ye family, wouldnʼt that be delightful?”

”This...”

Upon hearing this, Ancestor Tingyou held his breath. To first support someone in breaking through to the Golden Core, and then have them support oneself—what immense trust this was!

He had never even heard of such a thing!

Even among blood brothers, master and disciple, father and son, with a Golden Core path before them, how could one give it up? Not fighting to the death would already be commendable!

Thinking of this, Ancestor Tingyou was truly moved.

”...Alright.” He showed a solemn expression and performed an ancient salute towards Lu Yang, ”I promise you, if I achieve the Golden Core, I will do my utmost to assist you in breaking through.”

”Ancestor is too courteous.”

Lu Yang still maintained the discipleʼs etiquette, giving full emotional value, ”This junior disciple only hopes that Ancestor can achieve success and, in the future, glorify our Witch Ghost Path.”

In fact, even if Ancestor Tingyou did not promise, it would be useless.

After all, the banner spirit baptized by the 【Book of a Hundred Lifetimes】 was under Lu Yangʼs absolute control. Even if Ancestor Tingyou succeeded in seeking the Golden Core, he could not escape.

However, there was no need to say this.

It would hurt feelings too much.

ʼAlthough I might not be able to seek the Golden Core in this lifetime, if Ancestor succeeds, itʼs still worthwhile. At that time, with a Golden Core backing me up, wouldnʼt I be unstoppable?ʼ

Of course, that was still far off.

A thousand years of struggling to survive had caused immense wear and tear on Ancestor Tingyou. Even after absorbing the original body and somewhat recovering, it was still impossible to fill this gap.

ʼEven if revived, Ancestor cannot ascend to the peak of Foundation Establishment in one step, but must start anew from the early stage of Foundation Establishment, gradually recovering his former talents and divine abilities. However, with Ancestorʼs aptitude and talent, and with my help, fifty years should still be achievable.ʼ

The immediate priority was to revive him first!

Lu Yang had long planned for this. To condense an immortal fetus, at least one superior spiritual treasure was needed. And currently, wasnʼt there just such a target?

Above Skull Mountain, myriad illusory colors blended into one.

The blood energy that originally belonged to the Sect Master of the Divine Martial Sect was blazing like the rising sun. Now, only a small flame remained, ready to extinguish at any moment.

It was undeniable that the Divine Martial Sect had some substance.

The Sect Master of the Divine Martial Sect might not have been strong in combat among late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, but his blood energy was as vast as the sea, very resilient. He fought for half an hour without dying.

Of course, this was also because 【Xiang Ye】, who had reached the peak of Foundation Establishment, had not truly made a move. He was more focused on suppressing the Sect Master of the Divine Martial Sect while calming his spiritual energy and dissipating the aftermath of the battle, to avoid damaging the eight hundred miles of Skull Mountain below and triggering a heavenly punishment due to the collapse of the earth veins.

”Boom!”

With a final loud noise, heavy illusory colors covered the sky, pressing down on an old man with bristling beard and hair, who still held a gleaming large halberd in his hand.

This was the Divine Martial Sectʼs supreme treasure.

【Divine Martial Dragon-Binding Halberd】!

This superior spiritual treasure specialized in killing. At this moment, it had been pushed to the extreme by the Sect Master of the Divine Martial Sect, and the dragon on the halberd seemed to have become a living creature.

Judging by the momentum, the old man was still imposing.

However, his waist and back gradually hunched, his hair was disheveled, and his eyes were full of despair. He seemed to want to take a step, but suddenly staggered.

The next second, he suddenly let out a blood-crying howl:

”The Divine Martial Sect is destroyed!”

The heart-wrenching sound resounded, the last trace of the Divine Martial Sect in this world, but it was mercilessly buried.

”Hahaha!”

”I should have known this day would come... When the Jade Pivot Sword Pavilionʼs immortal decree came to establish a sect here, I should have realized that this day would eventually come...”

The Sect Masterʼs voice abruptly stopped.

Before he finished speaking, he had already swung his halberd!

In an instant, there was a dragonʼs roar and tigerʼs howl, the halberd splitting the sky, actually cutting open the curtain formed by the 【Star Concealing Radiance】, flying towards the northern frontier.

”Hmm?”

Seeing this, in the sky, a young man in black suddenly raised his eyebrows, looking down with a hint of doubt:

”...Hong Ju?”

He knew all too well the level of the Divine Martial Sectʼs Sect Master. It was impossible for him to cut through his divine ability. Did he really think there were miraculous outbursts in this world?

If there were, someone must be manipulating things behind the scenes!

After thinking it over, Xiang Ye felt that only Hong Ju, another peak Foundation Establishment True Person, could have made a move in secret. But what was the reason for doing so?

The Sect Master of the Divine Martial Sect himself did not escape.

The only thing that escaped was the superior spiritual treasure 【Divine Martial Dragon-Binding Halberd】, and it was still heading towards the Divine Martial Sectʼs mountain gate, still a trapped beast.

”...Not good!”

The next second, Xiang Ye seemed to realize something, his expression changed drastically, and he immediately used his divine ability, straining his eyes to look towards the Divine Martial Sect.

In the distant northern frontier, within the Divine Martial Sect.

The qi fortune and merit that originally soared into the sky, belonging to the Divine Martial Sect, had been completely plundered. The treasure vault, once filled with spiritual materials, was now so empty that even mice could run through it.

”Beast! How dare you steal my prize!?”

Xiang Ye was furious. He never expected someone would dare to snatch food from the tigerʼs mouth. While he was dealing with the Divine Martial Sectʼs True Person, someone else had raided their lair!

Immediately after, a halberd light fell into the Divine Martial Sect.

It was the Divine Martial Sectʼs superior spiritual treasure, 【Divine Martial Dragon-Binding Halberd】. Lu Yang reached out and easily collected it, then gave Xiang Ye a slight smile.

”Courting death!”

Xiang Ye was about to make a move when, at that moment, a divine radiance cut off his sight, and Lu Yangʼs figure took the opportunity to disappear.

”Hong Ju, it really is you!”

Xiang Ye immediately raised his eyebrows, only to see Hong Ju standing with hands folded in the center of the divine radiance, his eyes as bright as lanterns, looking at him with a hint of bitterness.

”Mission accomplished!”

Lu Yang fled all the way, using the 【Tribulation Wave】 to sever karma. As for the aftermath, it was naturally left to Hong Ju, just in time for him to take the blame!
