Struggling to Survive with Regression Power in the Primordial Saint Sect

Chapter 231: Evil Thoughts Arise, Ting You Emerges from Seclusion!

This time, nothing happened, and Lu Yang directly walked out.

ʼAre you kidding me? You think you can settle such a big matter with just one day of service as payment? Do you really think I’m such an easy fool? What I want is real, tangible benefits!ʼ

Moreover, Lu Yang suspected there was a scheme involved in this.

The words of True Person Miaoyin could not be fully trusted.

After all, according to her, she only wanted to save Chong Guang, but in the Primordial Saint Sect, she spoke to him about deep marital affection?

ʼWho is she trying to fool!ʼ

Especially after seeing Chong Ming, Lu Yang’s doubts deepened.

Although Chong Ming had also reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, it was only the early stage.

And among those who came this time, which one wasnʼt at least in the mid-stage?

Early Foundation Establishment was no different from a burden.

She brought a burden along, who was even Chong Guang’s son.

Though the public explanation sounded nice, Lu Yang simply did not believe there was no issue.

This was all a trap, and it involved Chong Guang, who had reached the peak of Foundation Establishment.

Lu Yang did not want to fall for their tricks again.

What’s more, this time, he was the one holding the initiative.

Thinking of his next lifetime, he naturally wanted to maximize his benefits, which was why he demanded a first-grade true cultivation technique.

However, True Person Miaoyin was powerless regarding this.

Because according to her, she had never even seen a first-grade true cultivation technique from the Primordial Saint Sect.

If she hadn’t seen it, how could she possibly give it to him?

However, Chong Guang had once served as the acting Sect Master of the Primordial Saint Sect.

When all the True Persons went into seclusion, he managed all affairs single-handedly, wielding overwhelming authority.

And as his Dao companion, True Person Miaoyin naturally held significant status in the sect back then.

Even if she casually withheld a little, it was enough to make Lu Yang’s heart move.

Thus, after several rounds of negotiation, she finally presented a reward that satisfied Lu Yang: a secret second-grade true cultivation technique from the Primordial Saint Sect.

”Its name is——『Heavenly Origin Supreme Commanding Divine Law』!”

Lu Yang examined the contents of the technique within his Sea of Consciousness.

”Unfortunately, it is only a fragmented part. She said that after I rescue True Person Chong Guang, she would hand over the rest.”

Though she said that, even the fragment was enough to glimpse the bigger picture.

”If judging solely from the fragment, the second-grade true Qi cultivated from this technique is indeed comparable to the combined-path cultivators of the Biyang Cultivation World.”

This indirectly confirmed the feasibility of the first-grade true Qi of the Great Ascension Realm.

However, what intrigued Lu Yang was that this second-grade true cultivation technique had an extra step before building the Dao foundation.

Its name was 【Absorbing External Qi to Refine the Spirit】.

ʼWhat is External Qi?ʼ

Just as Lu Yang wanted to continue reading, he found that there was nothing further.

Lu Yang frowned deeply and cursed under his breath.

This was definitely True Person Miaoyin’s deliberate move, cutting it off right here to make him unable to let go of the remaining part.

ʼWretched woman!ʼ

At this thought, evil intentions arose in Lu Yang’s heart.

True Person Miaoyin’s request clearly had issues.

Lu Yang did not want to be schemed against, but he also desired the second-grade true cultivation technique.

This put him in a difficult position.

ʼHow about finding an opportunity after entering the blessed land, directly ambush this woman, and use dual cultivation techniques to extract the rest of the technique from her? I could also cultivate the 【Heart-Refining Curse of the Seven Emotions】 she mentioned earlier, killing two birds with one stone! It’s far easier than risking everything to help True Person Chong Guang return.ʼ

As for the so-called favor owed to True Person Chong Guang?

ʼForget it!ʼ

ʼWe’re both True Persons of the Primordial Saint Sect.ʼ

ʼYou used me as a scapegoat, shifting the heavenly punishment onto me. I haven’t even settled that score with you yet, so let me take a little interest from your Dao companion first!ʼ

Thinking of this, Lu Yang couldn’t help but squint his eyes.

ʼHowever, in the struggle within the blessed land, the True Person would surely be watching.ʼ

ʼThough killing True Person Miaoyin isn’t impossible, I must first complete the True Person’s assigned task.ʼ

ʼFind out the reason for Chong Guang’s failure!ʼ

From this perspective, he might have to meet the possibly still-living True Person Chong Guang.

That was simple.

After Chong Guang failed to seek gold this time, he had already lost all value in the eyes of the True Person.

Without the True Person’s protection and reduced to a remnant soul, Lu Yang had no less than nine ways to control him!

”Boom!”

At that moment, a loud explosion rang out.

The brilliance between heaven and earth reached an extreme, as if a sun had truly fallen here.

”The 【Dongyang Blessed Land】 is about to emerge!”

”From its descent into the world to its collapse and return to the earth and heavens will take about one or two hours. Let’s take this opportunity to loot it thoroughly!”

In an instant, the earth of the former Kingdom of Qing shook.

Countless magnificent lights intertwined, forming palatial towers and jade buildings.

All the True Persons revealed fervent expressions.

In the next second, beams of light shot into the sky.

Lu Yang, however, was in no hurry.

He slowly selected a middle position and entered.

This way, if something went wrong ahead, he could retreat immediately.

Yet, he wouldn’t lag too far behind, ending up watching others feast while he drank only soup.

Mountains spread out endlessly, with the morning sun hanging high in the sky.

Lu Yang stepped out from a patch of heavenly light.

Glancing around, a hint of emotion appeared on his face.

ʼWhat a grand banquet this is.ʼ

With Chong Guang dead, all cultivators feasted on him.

Even the Primordial Saint Sect was no exception.

Making use of everyone’s talents.

Since he failed in seeking gold, all previous investments were wasted.

Naturally, they had to find a way to recoup their losses.

Lu Yang raised his hand.

Out of caution, he did not choose to absorb and refine the spiritual Qi.

This place was the 【Dongyang Blessed Land】 left behind by Chong Guang.

The so-called heaven and earth spiritual Qi here was, in essence, Chong Guang’s mana.

He couldn’t recklessly absorb it into his body, especially since Chong Guang seemed not to be completely dead yet.

”This spiritual Qi… is poisonous.”

This feeling was somewhat similar to when he entered the small realm sky during the Dao Seizing Battle.

Except the 【Dongyang Blessed Land】 was of much higher quality than that one.

”The most valuable things in a blessed land are undoubtedly the innate divine abilities of its master when they were alive.”

And in this 【Dongyang Blessed Land】, without a doubt, those were True Person Chong Guang’s 【Everlasting Tree】, 【Dragon-Shading Water】, 【Fear of Felling】, and 【Blazing Furnace】!

Innate divine abilities would solidify after the blessed land collapsed.

If left unattended, they would return to the earth and heavens with the collapse of the blessed land.

But if extracted before that, they would become top-grade spiritual embryos.

If merged into one’s spiritual treasures, they could at least add one or two mysterious powers.

If used to forge a brand new spiritual treasure, it would undoubtedly be a top-grade product among superior treasures.

They could even be used in pill refinement to assist in boosting cultivation.

In short, they were of infinite use.

”Perfect, my Abyss Sword still lacks a final touch.”

The spiritual will of Vimalakirti Venerable that he had previously fished out had already been used up.

Unfortunately, it was merely a spiritual will, not enough to trigger a qualitative transformation in the Abyss Sword.

It was like three innate divine abilities being a threshold for a Great True Person.

The same was true for top-grade spiritual treasures—three mysterious powers marked a threshold.

Crossing it would mean a complete transformation.

Thus, if he could obtain a spiritual embryo formed from one of True Person Chong Guang’s innate divine abilities and fuse it into the Abyss Sword, his combat strength would undoubtedly leap forward.

ʼBy then, perhaps I could even find a way to ambush and kill True Person Miaoyin.ʼ

After all, the second-grade true cultivation technique she held, 『Heavenly Origin Supreme Commanding Divine Law』, concerned his future path.

Lu Yang was determined to obtain it!

Thinking of this, Lu Yang immediately calculated with his fingers.

The Heaven-Seeking Instrument operated, and the light of Bing Fire shone throughout the six directions.

Soon, it locked onto one of the innate divine abilities within the blessed land.

Looking into the distance, it turned out to be a vast marsh.

”That’s…the 【Dragon-Shading Water】?”

It belonged to the Earthly Fiend【Zhixu】, the most Yin and gentle soil in the world.

Because it interacted with the Heavenly Gang【Gui Water】, this innate divine ability was born.

Though it was earth Qi, it appeared as water.

It was the same as the 【Heavenly Corpse Fiend】 Lu Yang had obtained before.

That too belonged to【Zhixu】, but it was born from the interaction with the Heavenly Gang【Ji Earth】.

”.Hmm?”

At this thought, Lu Yang suddenly sensed a slight disharmony.

Something felt… off.

At that moment, the Myriad Spirits Banner suddenly trembled.

Lu Yang swept it with his divine sense and immediately showed a look of joy.

It was the long-silent Ancestor Ting You emerging from seclusion!

Could it be that he had achieved results in comprehending first-grade true Qi?

Perfect timing, as Lu Yang now had many doubts that needed the help of his unparalleled wisdom to resolve!
