Struggling to Survive with Regression Power in the Primordial Saint Sect

Chapter 280: Suo Huan Seeks Gold, Lu Yang Battles the Venerable

Lu Yangʼs words fell, and the chilling killing intent in his tone was startling; even Suo Huan gave him a deep glance, revealing a hint of surprise.

However, soon, a look of understanding appeared in his eyes.

”Fellow Daoist is well-intentioned, but I have no way to help you.”

Suo Huan shook his head; while Lu Yang dared to offend the Pure Land, he lacked such confidence and could only sigh.

Seeing this, Lu Yang showed a contemplative expression.

After pondering for a moment, he still spoke: ”Fellow Daoist, forgive my bluntness, but your current pursuit of gold...”

Before Lu Yang could finish, Suo Huan directly interrupted him, calmly saying: ”I have survived overseas for six hundred years, and Iʼve thought through everything.”

”This time, itʼs merely a desperate gamble.”

At this point, a trace of nostalgia appeared in Suo Huanʼs eyes: ”I understand your meaning, that all parties assisting me in seeking gold have their own interests.”

”Perhaps none of them have good intentions.”

”But this is already the best method I can think of; otherwise, if all parties intend to obstruct me, I truly have no chance at all.”

”Back then, I escaped from the 【Huanxu Realm】, received the favor of the Heavenly Dao, and before its collapse, it transformed into the 【Lingxu Blessed Land】, even deducing a book called 『The Dao Sutra of All Spirits Returning to the Void』 for me, as my method to seek gold. As long as I use this secret method to devour a fruit position, I can revive the 【Huanxu Realm】.”

This was Suo Huanʼs obsession, and also his helplessness.

”I am different from you, without a Dao foundation, and itʼs impossible for me to reincarnate and cultivate again. Although a lifetimeʼs lifespan is long, itʼs only this one true self.”

”Your methods of seeking gold are useless to me.”

”Only this 『The Dao Sutra of All Spirits Returning to the Void』 is my path upward, not to mention it can also restore my homeland. So this path, I must walk!”

Having said this much, Lu Yang could only clasp his hands: ”Then I wish Fellow Daoist success.”

Suo Huan silently nodded, then waved his hand.

In the next second, Lu Yang felt the world spinning, and he had already been sent out of the Magnetic Divine Mountain. Upon turning his eyes, he found himself in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Looking around, he suddenly saw a mass of Buddhist light.

Seeing this, Lu Yangʼs eyebrows slightly raised, revealing a smile. Although Suo Huan said he couldnʼt help, he actually gave him a hand in private.

He had sent him to the front of Vimalakirti Venerable!

Immediately after, in the present world, from the direction of the Magnetic Divine Mountain, a brilliant light pierced the sky, directly entering the Foundation Establishment Realm, then rising even higher.

”Suo Huan has begun to seek gold!”

”An outer-world cultivator... heʼs the first!”

For a time, all the great True Persons stationed in the Foundation Establishment Realm turned to look; every gold-seekerʼs experience was worth their attention.

Meanwhile, inside the Magnetic Divine Mountain, Suo Huan stood with his hands behind his back.

Above his head, an official position formed by interwoven talismanic script appeared, named 【Duke of Coastal Defense and National Protection】, surprisingly a first-rank position of the Dao Court!

It was precisely with the blessing of this official position that he could display the combat power of a perfected Foundation Establishment, and then, relying on formations and methods, he slew the Great Crown Prince of the Dragon Palace, Tian Qiuʼs physical body. It was also because of this official position that he could stand at the threshold of seeking gold, thereby taking the most critical step:

Condensing golden nature!

In the next second, a golden pattern appeared between Suo Huanʼs eyebrows, shaped like a crescent moon, with an obvious illusory quality compared to the past Chong Guang.

This was also normal.

After all, he condensed it through external forces, while Chong Guang obtained it through self-cultivation; the foundations of the two were vastly different. One could say that being able to condense it was already a stroke of luck.

”Fortunately, I have other means to compensate.”

Suo Huan took a deep breath, looked up at the sky above, as if he saw several colossal Dharma bodies quietly overlooking him.

He had no confusion.

The 【Calming Sea Pearl】 at his waist was taken down, and Suo Huan communicated with it using his divine sense. In the next second, a brilliant star lit up for him in the sky above.

【Long Flowing Water】!

Seeing this, Suo Huan immediately took out a jade bottle, and upon uncorking it, a strong water-element aura instantly spread from the bottle.

【Heavenly Virtue Beneficent Divine Water】!

Almost simultaneously, Suo Huan clearly felt that the many gazes falling on him suddenly became sharp, vaguely revealing a hint of killing intent.

”【Ang Xiao】, you really made a move!”

”Canʼt trace the cause and effect; when did it reach Suo Huanʼs hands?”

”No matter, we had anticipated this. After all, someone wants to prove 【Long Flowing Water】; he canʼt just sit idly by. Letʼs see what other means he has.”

In the infinitely high distance, several vast divine senses intertwined.

Suo Huan knew nothing of this, nor did he care. He merely drank the 【Heavenly Virtue Beneficent Divine Water】 in one gulp, then activated his mana to refine it.

The 【Heavenly Virtue Beneficent Divine Water】 was a treasure of the fruit position of 【Long Flowing Water】, possessing the virtues of clarity and nourishment, benefiting the world with its beneficence. Consuming it could bring life from death, prosperity, and development, benefiting others. Its imagery perfectly matched his current situation, instantly causing the heavenly light of 【Long Flowing Water】 to shine brightly!

”Rise!”

In the next second, Suo Huan exerted all his mana, and the 【Lingxu Blessed Land】 behind him manifested, reflecting the Buddhist light, then soared into the sky, flying towards the fruit position!

Meanwhile, below in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

”What do you think, how much chance does Suo Huan have?”

Vimalakirti Venerable shook his head, sneering: ”The Lords are watching from the heavens; how could they truly watch an outer-world cultivator seek gold?”

”You canʼt say that. Since this time is to prove 【Long Flowing Water】, shaking the foundation of that one in the Underworld, the Lords may not care about some outer-world cultivator. At worst, kill him afterward, let him take the golden nature to reincarnate, and in the future, he can be a useful pawn again.”

”Still, itʼs your Holy Sect.”

During the conversation, Vimalakirti Venerableʼs expression turned unsightly. After all, for the Pure Land, the biggest goal of this trip was actually to have Lu Yang convert to the Pure Land.

In the end, it was still a failure.

Even his personal intervention yielded no results, which would undoubtedly greatly affect his status in the Bodhisattvaʼs heart, also making him involuntarily harbor other thoughts.

ʼBesides me, the Dao Court and Sword Pavilion are also eyeing that Lu Yang.ʼ

ʼWhile Suo Huan seeks gold, and the True Lords are watching to guard against that one in the Underworld, if I invite them to act together, perhaps we can besiege and kill that Yuan Tu?ʼ

Thinking of this, Vimalakirti Venerableʼs thoughts became active.

”Lords...”

He had just opened his mouth, but before his words could spread, he suddenly felt an indescribable suction force fall upon him, and his expression changed drastically.

Vimalakirti Venerableʼs reaction was not slow; almost at the moment of sensing danger, he activated a protective spiritual treasure, surprisingly his lotus platform. At this moment, a Buddhist light blossomed from the lotus platform, firmly protecting him in the center, and then exploded into a burst of shattered firelight.

”Who is it!”

Vimalakirti Venerableʼs gaze turned rapidly, only to find that the attacking objects were not just one, but dozens or hundreds, and at a glance, they were sword lights as swift as thunder!

ʼSword Pavilion... no, itʼs that junior!?ʼ

Vimalakirti Venerable suddenly realized, also revealing a trace of disbelief. He never expected Lu Yang to dare to come to him proactively!

Does he really think he can kill him?

In an instant, Vimalakirti Venerable was both angry and amused. He immediately exerted all his mana, the Buddhaʼs palm reappeared, directly sweeping away the countless sword lights, revealing the scene behind.

Then he saw a towering light and shadow.

【Qiantian All-Encompassing Dharma Body】!

The Dharma body sat in the Foundation Establishment Realm, with three heads and six arms, a blue face with fangs, soaring in mysterious fire. A giant hand covering the sky was fiercely grabbing towards him!

”......”

Almost simultaneously, the other great True Persons who had just been conversing with Vimalakirti Venerable had disappeared, leaving only Vimalakirti Venerable alone.

Boom!

A loud noise erupted in the Foundation Establishment Realm. The giant hand covering the sky was blocked by Vimalakirti Venerable, and the rolling mysterious fire parted, revealing the young Daoist behind the Dharma body.

Seeing this, Vimalakirti Venerable gritted his Buddha teeth: ”Junior...”

But Lu Yang didnʼt bother to respond, holding his sword and forming a seal, immediately transforming into a yellow light, like pushing mountains and overturning peaks, crashing down towards him!
