Struggling to Survive with Regression Power in the Primordial Saint Sect

“Peak Master of Mending Heaven Peak.”

Between his brows, the [Heaven-Seeking Instrument] radiated brilliance, illuminating cause and effect, and also revealing Lü Yang’s face, which suddenly showed an indescribable expression of delight.

“There’s actually an unexpected gain?”

It should be known that his plan this time was to transform Zhao Xuhe into a merit-based nuclear bomb, just waiting for Fulong Arhat to come knocking, then detonating it for a fierce strike.

Just like the Golden Core Sword Qi, this move could only be used once.

Originally, he regretted having to use it on Fulong Arhat, unable to include the Peak Master of Mending Heaven Peak.

Unexpectedly, Fulong Arhat actually sought out the Peak Master of Mending Heaven Peak and even invited him to come along. Isn’t this like being handed a pillow when you’re sleepy!

It’s simply perfect!

Thinking of this, Lü Yang’s lips curled into a smile. So what if the two joined forces? No problem, I’ll blow them both up equally!

“Senior Brother Zhao, it all depends on you.”

The next second, Lü Yang slightly moved his lips and exhaled, speaking slowly under the blessing of his innate divine ability: “Primordial Saint Sect, Zhao Xuhe, can establish a foundation for the Great Dao!”

[Discern Right from Wrong]!

With these words, the Foundation Establishment status was bestowed upon the Qi Refining cultivator.

The power from top to bottom invisibly elevated Zhao Xuhe’s status by a level.

Breaking through to Foundation Establishment immediately added a ten percent chance of victory!

Several days later.

In the market of Skeleton Mountain, Zhao Xuhe sat upright in a quiet room, his face full of joy.

“I didn’t expect that the incident with the Witch Ghost Path back then would still bring such an opportunity, allowing the earth veins of Skeleton Mountain to actively recognize me as master. It’s truly a great fortune.”

With the support of the earth veins, coupled with the Nine Transforming Dragon Art, the Ascension Order bestowed by the True Person of Yinshan, and a great divine ability, he now had a forty percent chance of breaking through to Foundation Establishment. Normally, a mere forty percent would still be too little, but at this point, Zhao Xuhe felt he shouldn’t delay any longer.

“I must take the gamble!”

Thinking of this, Zhao Xuhe felt a slight pain between his brows, sensing the so-called “past life memories of True Person Panlong,” a trace of gloom suddenly flashing in his eyes.

The past life memories he once firmly believed in now seemed increasingly false.

Many details didn’t match; there was only cultivation, but not many miscellaneous matters, and it was fragmented, like pieces that couldn’t withstand scrutiny.

“True Person Panlong.”

Zhao Xuhe took a deep breath, his intuition telling him that this Foundation Establishment True Person was definitely plotting against him, a strong sense of crisis making him increasingly tense.

He must break through immediately!

“Now that there are still True Persons from the Saint Sect stationed here, if I break through, even if that True Person Panlong comes, he may not dare to act against me.”

The more Zhao Xuhe thought about it, the more he felt that breaking through now was the best choice.

Unconsciously, this thought was continuously magnified, making him quickly make up his mind.

“Let’s do it!”

With this thought, Zhao Xuhe no longer hesitated. His entire body’s Qi immediately began to erupt, and with the support of the earth veins, he began to slowly ascend towards the Foundation Establishment Realm!

Almost simultaneously—

“He’s here!”

In the Divine Martial Sect of the Northern Frontier, Fulong Arhat suddenly opened his eyes, sensing a sudden rise of cause and effect from the direction of Skeleton Mountain, originating from the Nine Transforming Dragon Art.

“So this is Zhao Xuhe?” Fulong Arhat calculated with his fingers, then a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: “Trying to use this person to lure me out, and have people from the Primordial Saint Sect ambush me. It’s a good idea, but still too young, not understanding the gap between mid and early Foundation Establishment.”

Each step of a Foundation Establishment True Person was a chasm!

Mid and early Foundation Establishment seemed to differ by only one word, but if they were to fight, even if four or five came, he was confident of victory!

Not to mention, for safety, he specially invited the Peak Master of Mending Heaven Peak to assist in battle.

With this thought, Fulong Arhat no longer hesitated. A divine light appeared at his fingertips, and he activated his innate divine ability to summon the Peak Master of Mending Heaven Peak.

Soon, a figure emerged under the divine light.

Fulong Arhat looked closely and saw that the newcomer was a blurry figure entirely shrouded in mist, with indistinct features and unclear Qi.

“This time, I must trouble fellow Daoist.”

Fulong Arhat was not surprised at this sight. Even in the Saint Sect, dealing with fellow True Persons alongside outsiders required covering one’s face.

‘Although with this old ghost’s character, he might not act unless he sees me gaining the upper hand.’

But having him come was enough.

As long as he blocked the other True Persons of the Saint Sect, allowing him to duel Lü Yang, he could go all out and make Lü Yang vanish into ashes within ten moves!

Immediately after, two beams of divine light descended from the sky.

One revealed his figure—it was the previously injured but now mostly recovered True Person Huanwu, holding the Divine Martial Sect’s sect-protecting spiritual treasure, the [Divine Martial Binding Flood Axe], his face full of resolute killing intent.

Following behind him was another True Person of the Divine Martial Sect, Xuanwu.

Seeing this, Fulong Arhat smiled: “Have you made up your mind?”

“I have.”

True Person Huanwu nodded: “This time, Xuanwu and I will assist the Holy Monk in battle, only hoping that the Holy Monk can slay that Yuan Tu and protect the Divine Martial Sect.”

Fulong Arhat certainly had no intention or ability to protect the Divine Martial Sect.

However, this didn’t prevent him from lying with open eyes. Anyway, after killing Lü Yang, the Divine Martial Sect would be useless, and he could just leave.

Therefore, upon hearing this, he immediately maintained a serious expression and solemnly said: “Promoting the true Dharma is my unshirkable duty.”

——Everything was ready.

With the assistance of the two True Persons of the Divine Martial Sect and the Peak Master of Mending Heaven Peak, even if Lü Yang had set a trap, it would be useless in the face of absolute strength.

How could this be lost?

The next second, Fulong Arhat activated his divine ability again, disappearing from the original place with the others.

At the same time, Zhao Xuhe had already stepped into the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Not as good as Lü Yang in the past, even with the Ascension Order unlocking the Ninefold Heaven Gate, this step was still extremely difficult, and he was already drenched in sweat.

However, everything was still going smoothly.

But just as he was about to construct his Dao foundation, the Foundation Establishment Realm suddenly radiated brilliance, and then he saw a familiar figure walking towards him.

“Amitabha, benefactor.”

Before the approaching Fulong Arhat could speak, Zhao Xuhe immediately reacted, pointing at him and gritting his teeth: “True Person Panlong! It’s really you!”

“Oh?”

Fulong Arhat raised his eyebrows: “It seems benefactor is not entirely ignorant. You should join my [Fulong Temple], cultivate the Path of Annihilation, and enjoy supreme bliss from now on.”

Boom!

Before he finished speaking, Fulong Arhat felt four Foundation Establishment Qi rising within Skeleton Mountain, immediately revealing a smile of expectation.

Immediately after, four beams of divine light entered the Foundation Establishment Realm.

“Who are you!?”

True Person Yu Chong was the first to speak, his gaze falling on Fulong Arhat, first stunned, then showing deep-seated killing intent.

He recognized Fulong Arhat!

As a descendant of the Zouyu clan, he had long hated this newly promoted Arhat from the Pure Land, who used [City Wall Soil] to seize power.

“Benefactor Yuan Tu, long time no see.”

Meanwhile, Fulong Arhat ignored him and looked at Lü Yang, who was inexplicably hiding behind other True Persons and remained silent.

The next second, the Divine Martial Sect’s True Persons Huanwu and Xuanwu both appeared, and together with the concealed Peak Master of Mending Heaven Peak, blocked True Person Yu Chong and the other two True Persons of the Saint Sect, creating a battlefield exclusively for Lü Yang and Fulong Arhat, trapping both within.

Seeing this, True Person Yu Chong’s expression changed drastically.

“Bastard! Bald donkey, how dare you!?”

No one present was a fool.

Even if they hadn’t realized it at first, they all understood now—this was clearly a pre-arranged killing trap!
