Struggling to Survive with Regression Power in the Primordial Saint Sect

Chapter 147: In the Future, He Will Surely Be a Pillar of the Primordial Saint Sect!

Northern Frontier, Divine Martial Sect.

Lu Yang strolled leisurely among the pavilions and towers, still in the mood to admire the surrounding scenery, as if he were merely a young scholar out on a spring excursion.

However, above his head, unbeknownst to anyone, rolling clouds had already covered the entire Divine Martial Sect. Yet, the cultivators within the sect remained completely unaware, continuing their cultivation, duels, and conversations, as if these clouds were mere illusions that didnʼt exist at all.

Within the clouds, countless electric serpents slithered.

From beginning to end, this phenomenon did not kill a single disciple of the Divine Martial Sect; it merely brushed past them, taking away some intangible things.

—Merit and fortune.

All the disciples of the Divine Martial Sect who were touched by the clouds, even if they were completely unaware, found their bodies inexplicably heavier, as if burdened with a weight of a thousand catties.

Immediately after, Lu Yang looked up at the sky.

The [Sky-Seeking Instrument] between his brows radiated light, allowing him to see clearly. At this moment, countless gazes were fixed upon the Divine Martial Sect!

He saw the approving gaze of True Person Chong Guang.

He saw the Arhat of the Pure Land shaking his head and sighing.

Of course, these were not their true bodies present but rather projections through the calculation of cause and effect, using the omnipresent web of karma in the world to observe from afar.

Under their watchful eyes, Lu Yang smiled lightly.

In the next moment, the clouds receded, like the ebb and flow of tides, finally converging entirely into Lu Yangʼs palm, forming a fruit woven from merit and fortune.

”Slurp!”

Lu Yang placed the fruit into his mouth, taking big bites of the flesh, his red lips and white teeth feasting heartily, consuming all the merit and fortune that the Divine Martial Sect had accumulated over the years.

While gnawing, Lu Yang did not forget to visit the Divine Martial Sectʼs treasury, casually opening it, then picking up storage bags and swallowing them whole, indiscriminately collecting them.

Among them were spiritual treasures, cultivation methods, and various pills, effectively looting the Divine Martial Sectʼs many treasures clean.

Such a drastic change in fortune naturally alarmed the two True Persons of the Divine Martial Sect.

”The sect... the sect has been robbed!”

True Person Huan Wu almost immediately took out a precious mirror, reflecting the scene within the sect, seeing Lu Yangʼs leisurely figure, his eyes bulging with rage:

”Itʼs Lu Yang! Heʼs not at Skeleton Mountain; heʼs at the Divine Martial Sect!?”

For a moment, both True Person Huan Wu and True Person Xuan Wu felt a chill in their hearts, their blood boiling turning into an indescribable coldness.

Itʼs over! Completely over!

Upon hearing this, Arhat Fulong suddenly turned his head, then directly cast a divine ability, sparing no effort to use his innate divine power, wanting to return to the Divine Martial Sect immediately.

Soon, familiar resistance struck.

Obviously, this was Lu Yang using [Determining Closeness] to obstruct him. However, this time, Arhat Fulong was prepared, and his vast mana surged out instantly.

”You canʼt stop me!”

Arhat Fulong transmitted his voice full of killing intent.

After all, he was at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, while Lu Yang was only at the early stage. What could he use to compete in mana?

Then he heard a light laugh:

”Thank you, fellow Daoist, for the escort. Farewell.”

In the next second, Arhat Fulong pierced through the void, arriving at the Divine Martial Sect in one step, only to see Lu Yang drifting away, leaving behind the brilliance of a divine ability.

Drifting away, carefree and at ease.

Arhat Fulong saw clearly that the direction in which the other party fled was precisely the Sky-reaching Sea of Clouds of the Primordial Saint Sect.

The karma of the eight hundred li Skeleton Mountain hadnʼt touched him at all!

”Outrageous... outrageous!!!”

Arhat Fulong was so angry that his golden body was about to explode, almost losing his mind and rushing into the Sky-reaching Sea of Clouds. But at the last moment, he calmed down.

After all, if he truly dared to charge into the Sky-reaching Sea of Clouds, it would be seeking death. Even the Bodhisattvas of the Pure Land wouldnʼt save him, let alone kill Lu Yang.

”Diverting the tiger away from the mountain... what a clever tactic!”

Only at this moment did Arhat Fulong truly understand Lu Yangʼs scheme: from beginning to end, Lu Yang probably never intended to confront him directly!

Using Zhao Xuhe to lure him away, then triggering the earth veins, using heavenly punishment to severely damage his merit and fortune. Lu Yang then took the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the Divine Martial Sect, reaping all the benefits alone, and finally drifting away. Even though Arhat Fulong suffered such a huge loss, he had to admit Lu Yangʼs brilliance.

Truly cunning, like an old turtle.

This was something Arhat Fulong had never anticipated. After all, before today, looking at Lu Yangʼs experiences, who could say he wasnʼt a favored child of heaven?

Such a genius should have been brave and aggressive.

In fact, during the Dao Seizing Battlefield, Lu Yang did perform this way, slaughtering Qi Refining cultivators, high-spirited, moving through armies as if in a no-manʼs land.

But now, in retrospect, it was all fake!

This beast was clearly only brave and aggressive towards low-level cultivators. When facing those of the same or higher realms, he was as cautious as walking on thin ice.

”Miscalculated!”

Arhat Fulong looked up and sighed, yet he was unwilling.

Although Lu Yangʼs scheme was brilliant, it ultimately had a flaw:

This move couldnʼt kill him.

Thinking of this, Arhat Fulong was puzzled: ”Now that Iʼve been severely damaged by heavenly punishment, even an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator could possibly kill me.”

”Such a good opportunity, why didnʼt he make a move?”

If Lu Yang had really chosen to fight him, Arhat Fulong could have gone all out. However, now, he felt his whole body powerless.

”What exactly does he want to do?”

Primordial Saint Sect, Sky-reaching Sea of Clouds.

Lu Yang used [Determining Closeness] to return to Luofeng Mountain in one step, having already put the matters of the Northern Frontier behind him, as he had perfectly achieved his predetermined goal.

Plundering the Divine Martial Sectʼs merit and fortune.

As for True Person Huan Wu and True Person Xuan Wu, one was dying, the other had limited strength and had been stripped of merit. They were insignificant to the Primordial Saint Sect.

Moreover, werenʼt there still people like Yu Chong? Lu Yang believed they could handle it well.

Returning to Luofeng Mountain, Lu Yang checked his spoils while making up his mind: ”For the next fifty years, Iʼll stay in the Sky-reaching Sea of Clouds and not go out.”

As for Arhat Fulong?

”Are you kidding? Why would I risk my life against a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator? The realm gap is there. If something unexpected happens, wouldnʼt I suffer a huge loss!”

He just needed to wait patiently.

Because he was still young, breaking through Foundation Establishment before eighty, now just over a hundred years old, with nearly two hundred years left to enjoy slowly.

”Compared to me, Arhat Fulong has at most thirty or forty years of life left in this life. Moreover, his merit and fortune have dissipated. After dying in this life, he can only reincarnate as a pig or dog, impossible to return to the Foundation Establishment realm. So I just need to wait patiently for thirty or forty years, and Iʼll naturally be worry-free!”

From the beginning, Lu Yang saw it clearly.

Compared to Arhat Fulong, he had no advantage in cultivation, spiritual treasures, or experience. His only advantage was his youth!

Time was his greatest capital!

Therefore, all his plans were based on this.

Using the self-destruction of the earth veins to destroy Arhat Fulongʼs chance of reincarnation, then outlasting the old man! Wait until he dies of old age, then dance on his grave.

Dueling? Risking life?

Too small! Such a narrow perspective!

”Competing in mana, competing in divine abilities, in the end, canʼt compare to competing in lifespan!”

Thinking of this, Lu Yang was calm and composed: ”Arhat Fulong... humph! When you die of old age, Iʼll have a life-and-death battle with your reincarnated self!”

At the same time, within the Sacred Fire Cliff.

True Person Chong Guang withdrew his gaze from the web of karma, glanced in the direction of Luofeng Mountain, his expression both strange and emotional, finally couldnʼt help but exclaim:

”This child will surely be a pillar of our Primordial Saint Sect in the future!”
