Struggling to Survive with Regression Power in the Primordial Saint Sect

Primordial Saint Sect, Sky-reaching Sea of Clouds, Mending Heaven Peak.

This place was at the highest point of the sea of clouds, with pure spiritual energy and lush greenery.

Deep within the dense forest, a graceful figure was sitting cross-legged, meditating and channeling true qi.

The Master of Mending Heaven Peak nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this.

“Qian’er has been diligent in her cultivation lately, but it’s a pity that her Six Paths Nirvana Phoenix Art has reached a bottleneck. Ultimately, it still lacks the nourishment of the Nine Transforming Dragon Art.”

Thinking of this, the Master of Mending Heaven Peak sighed again.

Unfortunately, Lü Yang was no longer a Qi Refining cultivator; he was no longer someone who could be easily manipulated.

Without the nourishment of the Nine Transforming Dragon Art, Chen Shuqian’s chances of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm were at most thirty percent, which was still unreliable for him.

If possible, the Master of Mending Heaven Peak would prefer to make a deal with Lü Yang.

This was also the reason for his previously enthusiastic attitude.

After all, if he could have Lü Yang and his daughter engage in dual cultivation, the benefits to him would be immense.

“Fortunately, I still have Xin’an.”

The Master of Mending Heaven Peak shifted his gaze to another part of the peak, where Chen Xin’an, who had regained his physical body, was meditating with closed eyes.

“Grow up quickly.”

The Master of Mending Heaven Peak murmured softly, looking at his pair of children like a farmer gazing at promising seedlings, his eyes full of hope and expectation.

A pair of children, double insurance.

As long as one of them reached Foundation Establishment, his plans would succeed.

By then, he would be a late-stage Foundation Establishment True Person, a pillar of the Primordial Saint Sect!

However, at this moment.

While deep in thought, the Master of Mending Heaven Peak suddenly raised his eyebrows, recalling his past acquaintance with Panlong, and his image surfaced in his memory.

The next second, he smiled: “After so many years, Panlong, you still come to see me?”

As his words fell, the image in his memory quickly became clear.

The Master of Mending Heaven Peak immediately entered the Foundation Establishment Realm, watching as a young man emerged from the void.

“Amitabha.”

Fulong Arhat clasped his hands together and smiled: “We are old acquaintances. Although we now belong to different factions, personal and public matters are separate, and our friendship remains.”

“You speak so nicely.”

The Master of Mending Heaven Peak sneered: “You talk about friendship with the True Persons of the Primordial Saint Sect? I don’t even talk about friendship with them! Enough nonsense, let’s get straight to the point. What matter brings you to me, and what benefits can you offer?”

Fulong Arhat didn’t hesitate and said directly: “A top-quality cauldron!”

“We know each other well. I know your plans. A cauldron who has cultivated the Nine Transforming Dragon Art—I believe you have a great need for such a person?”

The Master of Mending Heaven Peak narrowed his eyes: “What do you want me to do?”

Fulong Arhat spoke in a low tone: “You are a member of the Primordial Saint Sect. I want you to help me divert the other True Persons of the sect. I want Lü Yang to die outside Skeleton Mountain!”

Inviting one True Person of the Primordial Saint Sect to deal with another!

Such an act was tantamount to betrayal.

Not to mention that Lü Yang was currently favored by True Person Chong Guang, holding a significant position.

Such shocking words, yet the Master of Mending Heaven Peak seemed to have anticipated them, his expression unchanged as he slowly uttered two syllables:

“Not enough!”

Upon hearing this, Fulong Arhat’s eyes lit up.

There’s room for negotiation!?

For a moment, Fulong Arhat was overjoyed.

He had only intended to test the waters, but it turned out there was a real chance, making him marvel at the sect’s ethos.

Without hesitation, he asked: “How much do you want?”

Only then did the Master of Mending Heaven Peak smile slightly and say: “In addition to the cauldron who has cultivated the Nine Transforming Dragon Art, I also want the golden body relic you will leave behind after your reincarnation.”

As his words fell, Fulong Arhat frowned.

Arhats of the Pure Land would condense a relic upon death, a unique Foundation Establishment treasure of the Pure Land.

Consuming it could increase the chance of Foundation Establishment by ten percent.

Fulong Arhat had cultivated for over eighty years to reach Foundation Establishment, wasting a hundred years.

He finally achieved nirvana in the Pure Land, becoming an Arhat, barely breaking through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

Now, at over two hundred years old, he was not far from the three-hundred-year lifespan limit of Foundation Establishment.

Reincarnation and re-cultivation would occur within the next thirty to forty years.

If not for this, he wouldn’t be in a hurry to eliminate Lü Yang.

After all, if he didn’t act now, it would be like nurturing a tiger.

By the time he reincarnated and regained his Arhat position, Lü Yang might truly be his equal.

“Is this for your son?”

Fulong Arhat glanced in the direction of Chen Xin’an and then said solemnly: “I agree, but in that case, you must take action personally!”

“Fine.”

The Master of Mending Heaven Peak calmly nodded: “When you need me, just summon me with your divine power. But you mustn’t let him escape.”

“No need to worry about that. No one understands the ’Myriad Chariots Dragon Riding Dao Foundation’ better than I do!”

At this point, Fulong Arhat showed a confident expression: “I have studied the innate divine power condensed by this Dao Foundation for decades.”

“Lü Yang’s innate power has just been refined. How can he compare to me?”

“Besides, this divine power isn’t particularly formidable. It’s merely capable of free movement, making it more flexible in combat. There’s nothing else mysterious about it.”

Fulong Arhat spoke casually.

As a Buddhist cultivator, his combat didn’t rely on innate divine powers, so he didn’t mind revealing them: “As long as Lü Yang appears before me, I will naturally restrain him with divine power. Even if he escapes, I can pull him back.”

“That’s it?”

The Master of Mending Heaven Peak was somewhat surprised: “The ’City Wall Soil’ had quite a reputation in the past. Its associated Dao Foundation’s innate power has only one mystery?”

“That’s the reality.”

Fulong Arhat sighed: “I only obtained one mystery back then. It should be because the fruit position is hidden and suppressed by the Bodhisattvas.”

Upon hearing this, the Master of Mending Heaven Peak had another thought.

Could it be that the problem isn’t with the fruit position, but with you?

After all, even with the same Dao Foundation, there are differences between individuals.

’Lü Yang has a perfect Foundation Establishment.’

In comparison, what is Fulong Arhat?

A mere rogue cultivator who stumbled into Foundation Establishment, essentially a pawn used by the Pure Land Bodhisattvas.

Thinking of this, the Master of Mending Heaven Peak’s brow twitched, and he changed his mind.

’If I go to Skeleton Mountain, I shouldn’t act hastily. I should observe the situation first. If things go awry, I might as well betray Fulong with a backstab.’

After all, True Persons of the Primordial Saint Sect are known for their flexibility.

With this in mind, the Master of Mending Heaven Peak’s expression became even more amiable.

He chatted with Fulong Arhat for a while longer before seeing him off.

In a quiet room in Skeleton Mountain’s marketplace.

“Hmm? Who is plotting against me?”

Lü Yang, who had been meditating, suddenly opened his eyes.

A Bing Fire light shone from his forehead, illuminating the six directions, making the karma on his body even clearer.

Although the Master of Mending Heaven Peak and Fulong Arhat had taken care to obscure karma, Lü Yang now possessed the ’Heaven-Seeking Instrument.’

How could ordinary means deceive him?

With just a glance of the treasure’s light, he immediately sensed something amiss.

A slight calculation revealed the cause and effect!

This was something the Master of Mending Heaven Peak and Fulong Arhat could never have anticipated.

Combat between Foundation Establishment True Persons wasn’t just about direct confrontation.

Sometimes, the battle of karma could be the key to victory.

Used well, karma could kill without a blade.

Used cleverly, it could even help one escape calamity.

The ’Heaven-Seeking Instrument’ was a treasure that inherently placed Lü Yang in an invincible position.

This was his true trump card in plotting against Fulong Arhat!
