Struggling to Survive with Regression Power in the Primordial Saint Sect

Chapter 299: A Frightening Scene, Encountering Ang Xiao Again!

Changyao Baoguang Cave Heaven!

This name alone occupied only a minuscule portion in Lu Yangʼs memories from his previous life. If not for his high cultivation, he might not have recalled it at all.

‘In the past, Uncle-Master Chongguang mentioned it to me.’

‘True Person of Heavenly Fortune and Bright Light opened palaces, established a cave heaven, with myriad truths coming to pay homage, titled 【Changyao Baoguang Cave Heaven】, like the rising sun hanging high, not falling from the clouds for a thousand years.’

‘Daoist Hong Yun!’

The so-called 【True Person of Heavenly Fortune and Bright Light】 was the Daoist title of Daoist Hong Yun before his reincarnation, and 【Changyao Baoguang Cave Heaven】 was his symbol.

‘This cave heaven fragment actually belonged to Daoist Hong Yun!?’

Thinking of this, Lu Yangʼs thoughts immediately became active. After all, among matters related to True Persons, Daoist Hong Yun was the easiest to handle.

Back then, even the Peak Master of Mending Heaven Peak dared to howl at him!

The cave heaven fragment he left behind naturally wouldnʼt be too dangerous, and it was very likely that some good things were left inside!

Lu Yang recalled seeing Daoist Hong Yun in his previous life. At that time, the other party had already restored his cultivation to the peak of Foundation Establishment and had refined a 【Treasure Radiant Blessed Land】. Thinking about it now, perhaps it was because he found this cave heaven fragment here and refined it that he was able to recover!

‘A blessed land...’

Lu Yangʼs eyes turned. 【Si Fire】 was the fire of smelting, the longevity of gold. If he, as a Geng Metal Immortal Spirit in this life, could nurture himself within it, the benefits would be immense!

However, in the next second, Lu Yang regained his composure: “No rush, haste makes waste, patience brings peace. Let Daoist Xiao Hai explore it thoroughly first.”

With this thought, Daoist Xiao Hai, who had been intimidated by the terrifying scene of the cave heaven fragment and the fire serpent transformed from Si Fire, and had a faint intention to retreat, immediately changed his mind: ‘Itʼs not easy for me to come in. If I canʼt bring something back for my clan, how can I face the years of their support?’

Thinking of this, Daoist Xiao Hai felt a stroke of luck:

‘My Li family has cultivated for ten generations. Being able to obtain this heavenly opportunity is a sign of fortune. Perhaps there is no risk.’

Take a gamble!

With this thought, Daoist Xiao Hai immediately gathered his mana, and at the same time, a palm-sized golden boat appeared in his hand, emitting a vast fluctuation of energy.

Superior spiritual treasure 【Territory-Expanding Ship】!

The marvel of this magical tool was called 【Territory-Expanding】, capable of breaking disasters and resolving difficulties. With its blessing at this moment, Daoist Xiao Hai felt more confident.

Immediately, under the protection of the spiritual treasure, he strode into the dilapidated palace at the serpentʼs head. Then, he saw at the center of the palace, on an ancient desk, three jade slips placed prominently, bathed in the light of Si Fire, not only undamaged but also glowing brilliantly.

‘Opportunity!’

Daoist Xiao Hai became even more excited. Without regard for the damage to the 【Territory-Expanding Ship】, he braved the might and scorching of Si Fire, step by step, arriving before the desk.

With a sweep of his divine sense, the contents of the three jade slips immediately entered his mind.

Through Daoist Xiao Haiʼs perspective, Lu Yang naturally took it all in. He saw that the nature of the three jade slips covered different domains.

‘《True Explanation of Observing Heaven and Earth Within the Void》, 《Upper Bright Golden Lamp Jade Light》, 《Bright Light Daily Records》.’

Lu Yangʼs eyes lit up instantly!

With his current level of cultivation, he could naturally see the value of the three jade slips. Without exaggeration, each one was a priceless treasure in the outside world!

‘《True Explanation of Observing Heaven and Earth Within the Void》, this is a secret method for creating blessed lands and constructing cave heavens!’

This wasnʼt meant for ordinary True Persons!

To use this, one must at least be a great True Person at the peak of Foundation Establishment, and only at the level of a True Monarch could its marvels be truly utilized!

‘Such a secret method was probably deduced by Daoist Hong Yun in his days as the 【True Person of Heavenly Fortune and Bright Light】, used for managing his own cave heaven, and perhaps also involved in the cultivation of a True Monarch. But such a marvelous method, which almost touches upon the fundamental cultivation of a True Monarch, how could it be left here?’

Lu Yang closed his spiritual platform tightly, his expression becoming increasingly tense.

The second jade slip, 《Upper Bright Golden Lamp Jade Light》, was equally astonishing in content. It was a secret method used to sense the 【Overturning Lamp Fire】, also a foundation of a True Monarch!

‘This is almost unattainable!’

‘Because this is equivalent to a True Monarch on the fruit position deliberately opening a backdoor on the fruit position, and then recording the key to the backdoor.’

How is this different from seeking death?

Such fundamental matters, passing them on to others, letting them compete for the position with oneself?

‘No, this should have been left by Daoist Hong Yun for himself, probably as a backdoor he planned to use to reclaim the fruit position after his thousand-year lifespan ended and he reincarnated!’

Thinking of this, Lu Yangʼs face gradually showed a suspicious look.

This doesnʼt seem right. Judging from this, Daoist Hong Yun was clearly prepared for his reincarnation, and very thoroughly, with all aspects ready.

But what was the result?

‘According to Uncle-Master Chongguang, he perished in the great calamity five thousand years ago, and during the entire five thousand years, despite frequent reincarnations, he never reclaimed the position.’

‘...He didnʼt even attempt it.’

‘There are already few remaining fruit positions today. It was precisely because of this that Uncle-Master Chongguang decided to seek the 【Overturning Lamp Fire】 and compete for the position with Daoist Hong Yun.’

At that time, it seemed fine, but looking at it now... it doesnʼt make sense!

At least judging from the first two jade slips, Daoist Hong Yunʼs preparations were quite thorough, and there was no reason he couldnʼt attempt to reclaim the position in five thousand years.

Soon, Lu Yang followed Daoist Xiao Haiʼs gaze to the third jade slip.

《Bright Light Daily Records》.

This was relatively simpler, being Daoist Hong Yunʼs diary, recording his insights and experiences while still in the position of a True Monarch.

However, in the next second, Lu Yang was greatly shocked.

Because on one page of the 《Bright Light Daily Records》, it was written:

“Recently discovered that 【Chen Earth】 seems to have changed. Unfortunately, itʼs during the thousand-year great calamity, with the heavenly mechanism obscured, making it difficult to calculate cause and effect. Further investigation should be arranged.”

【Chen Earth】!

Lu Yang never expected that Daoist Hong Yun had already discovered the anomaly of 【Chen Earth】 five thousand years ago, while still in the position of a True Monarch!

But with this, everything made sense.

The reason Daoist Hong Yun perished in the past while still a True Monarch was definitely because Ang Xiao secretly acted against him! Because he knew too much!

‘Even the jade slips here are wrong! These jade slips werenʼt left by Daoist Hong Yun! How could secret methods concerning oneʼs own path be written down? If it were me, I would definitely remember them in my heart. The reason they became jade slips was probably because they were forcibly extracted from Daoist Hong Yunʼs memory!’

【Knowledge Obstruction】!

Only this could explain Daoist Hong Yunʼs situation.

Why couldnʼt he reclaim the position for five thousand years? Because the two backup methods he left behind in his lifetime, and the related memories, were all forcibly removed and forgotten!

Without 《True Explanation of Observing Heaven and Earth Within the Void》, it would be difficult for him to reforge the blessed land and cave heaven.

Without 《Upper Bright Golden Lamp Jade Light》, he couldnʼt perfectly sense the 【Overturning Lamp Fire】.

Lacking these two, how is it different from seeking the golden path from scratch? If someone were to interfere further, itʼs entirely normal that he couldnʼt reclaim the position for five thousand years!

‘Wait a minute...’

Suddenly, Lu Yangʼs expression changed. In his previous life, Daoist Hong Yun did reforge the blessed land, indicating that he eventually found this cave heaven fragment.

But as the mastermind behind the scenes, would 【Ang Xiao】 allow such a thing to happen?

In his previous life, Daoist Hong Yun was killed by True Monarch Feixue. Why? Because of the Blood Demon Daoist. At that time, he didnʼt think much and fell into his own trap...

‘...Hiss!’

At this moment, even though he was only borrowing Daoist Xiao Haiʼs perspective, Lu Yang still felt an indescribable, bone-chilling coldness.

Because at the end of Daoist Xiao Haiʼs line of sight.

Amidst the flickering Si Fire, a figure suddenly appeared.

He stood in the fire, observing Daoist Xiao Hai with great interest, as if he had never left, only that Daoist Xiao Hai had never remembered him.

In an instant, Lu Yang almost stopped thinking.

‘【Ang Xiao】!!!’

Dark eyes, a smiling gaze, at this moment, seemed to penetrate Daoist Xiao Haiʼs flesh, falling upon Lu Yang hiding behind him.
