Struggling to Survive with Regression Power in the Primordial Saint Sect

Chapter 312: Guiding Feixue, Unveiling Ang Xiao

Never before had Lu Yang so deeply longed for his own astonishing wisdom.

Unfortunately, Ancestor Ting You had suffered severe injuries in his previous life and was still in slumber, recuperating. Not only him, but the entire Myriad Spirits Banner was currently in a semi-defunct state.

ʼIf only I could find a new one to integrate...ʼ

Almost instinctively, Lu Yang thought of another Ancestor Ting You who was still in the Skull Mountain Secret Realm. However, he quickly dismissed the idea.

ʼ...Itʼs not the right time yet.ʼ

The Golden Core sword aura in Skull Mountain had not yet dissipated, and at this point, Ancestor Ting You had not escaped. It was impossible to bring him out.

Although the Sword Pavilionʼs [True Lord of Inherited Heavenly Virtue] was not considered exceptionally talented among the True Lords, he was still a Golden Core cultivator. A single sword aura left behind by him would be fatal, even if Lu Yang had now reached the peak of Foundation Establishment. Calculating the time, it would probably take another six or seven years.

ʼNo rush, no rush... Patience leads to success.ʼ

Lu Yang comforted himself. However, at that moment, he suddenly felt something and looked up, a trace of surprise in his eyes.

Ordinary people would probably feel nothing.

But Lu Yang had recently experienced this familiar sensation and instantly recognized it: ”Expansion of [Heaven of Nonexistence]!?”

In an instant, Lu Yang entered the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Not only him, but countless Foundation Establishment True Persons also sensed it, each entering the Foundation Establishment Realm and looking up towards the sky.

ʼSomething... is there!ʼ

Everyone could sense that something had appeared in the mid-air of the Foundation Establishment Realm, but no matter what methods they used, they could not detect its presence.

Anyone who scanned with their divine sense would involuntarily recall a non-existent memory:

『Mystic Method of the Grand Void Ritual』!

This method, used to connect with the [Heaven of Nonexistence], was now being widely disseminated, including a wealth of knowledge related to the [Heaven of Nonexistence].

”Boom!”

Almost simultaneously, several stars in the sky shone brightly, indicating that even True Lords were astonished and moved by the manifestation of the [Heaven of Nonexistence].

However, what shocked countless people was that, as the starlight of the fruit position descended and the vast divine senses of the True Lords swept over, the [Heaven of Nonexistence] still appeared as an illusory light and shadow, difficult to touch, as if it were a mirage—ungraspable and unaffected by the True Lords!

”What a [Heaven of Nonexistence]!”

Capturing a fruit position was already an extremely difficult task, let alone suppressing it. Over the years, only the Pure Land had achieved such a feat.

But the [Heaven of Nonexistence] was evidently even harder to capture.

To see but not perceive is called ”Yi”; to hear but not listen is called ”Xi”; to grasp but not obtain is called ”Wei”.

These three cannot be thoroughly examined, thus they merge into one. Its upper part is not bright, its lower part is not dark. It is a form without form, returning to nothingness, hence it is called the form of the formless.

After several True Lords attempted and found themselves helpless against the [Heaven of Nonexistence], they withdrew their presence, no longer taking action. Meanwhile, the Foundation Establishment True Persons below, who understood the wonders of the [Heaven of Nonexistence] through the 『Mystic Method of the Grand Void Ritual』, all showed expressions of excitement.

At the same time, overseas.

[Ang Xiao] also opened his eyes and sighed: ”What a mysterious fruit position. Mu Changsheng... where did he obtain this fruit position from?”

Although the Innate True Person claimed that the [Heaven of Nonexistence] was self-proven, [Ang Xiao] did not believe it, convinced that there must be external factors involved.

Because talent has its limits.

Why is self-proving considered illusory? The reason is simple: how can one imagine something they have never seen? It simply doesnʼt make sense.

Therefore, [Ang Xiao] was certain that the Innate True Person must have accidentally obtained a great opportunity; otherwise, it would be impossible to prove such a wondrous thing as the [Heaven of Nonexistence]. Even Ancestor Ting You back then only created a method for holding a pseudo-Golden Position and did not self-prove a fruit position.

Could the Innate True Personʼs talent far surpass Ting You?

Impossible!

ʼItʼs a pity that due to the interference of the [Heaven of Nonexistence], the plan to refine the Dao Sin into a clone has failed. Finding another opportunity might not be easy...ʼ

[Ang Xiao] sighed inwardly.

In the next moment, as a clear, water-like radiance suddenly descended, he vanished, replaced by the figure of True Lord Qingcheng Feixue.

”Tsk, you escaped quickly!”

True Lord Qingcheng Feixue snorted coldly, her beautiful eyes shining with divine light. She vaguely sensed the terrifying depth of [Ang Xiao], growing more curious: ʼAlso at the mid-Golden Core stage like me... no, perhaps late stage? How did he break through? He seems to be among the strongest in the late stage.ʼ

Despite this, she showed no fear.

As long as Chong Guang successfully sought the Golden Core, and with her and [True Lord Zengcai Qiluo] joining forces, forming three of the five elements, she was confident in advancing to the late Golden Core stage.

If he wasnʼt in the late stage, then there was even less to fear.

She, Xue Feihong, had risen at the end of the great tribulation five thousand years ago, always fighting and winning, known as the most talented in combat over the past five thousand years.

Even if he was in the late Golden Core stage, so be it. If mid-stage, she feared no one!

Thinking of this, she glanced downward.

Lu Yang had naturally awakened, but Hong Ju had not. Since Hong Yun hadnʼt arrived, a mere Hong Ju was of no concern to her.

With this in mind, True Lord Qingcheng Feixue suddenly smiled sweetly at Lu Yang.

Immediately, a clear and pleasant voice sounded in Lu Yangʼs ear: ”Judging by your reaction, fellow Daoist, you must know who that was just now?”

”...Heʼs called [Ang Xiao].”

Lu Yang did not hide it, directly stating [Ang Xiao]ʼs title. Instantly, thunder rolled through the clouds, yet it had no effect.

Or rather, [Ang Xiao] had already prepared for his identity to be exposed and was unafraid. After all, his momentum was now established. Even if True Lord Feixue knew of his existence and that [Chen Earth] was unusual, what could she do? Ultimately, she could do nothing.

”Ang Xiao...”

Upon hearing this, True Lord Qingcheng Feixue fell into contemplation, anger gradually appearing in her eyes. Then, her graceful figure turned and disappeared.

Clearly, this reminder was sufficient.

At that moment, Hong Ju beside Lu Yang suddenly opened his eyes, a flush appearing on his face, while his merit and fortune sharply declined.

ʼFailed to overcome the tribulation?ʼ

Lu Yang immediately noticed, finding it incredible. Hong Ju was at the peak of Foundation Establishment, yet he couldnʼt even overcome the first tribulation?

I managed it quite easily.

On the other side, Hong Ju looked grim, sighing: ”What a Mu Changsheng, facing such a desperate situation and still not being drained to death...”

Who knew what he had experienced!

The [Heaven and Earth Intersecting Dragon and Tiger Yin-Yang Grand Formation], with one hundred and eight [Heavenly Maidens] attacking together, he fought for seven days and nights, yet was still forced to death by the opponent.

ʼJust this first tribulation is not something ordinary people can overcome. Itʼs unrelated to cultivation level, as everyone enters with the identity of the Innate True Person, only at the peak of Qi Refining. To overcome the tribulation, one must have a firm mind and exceptional talent. Perhaps Lord Hong Yun would have a chance.ʼ

After a long time, Hong Ju finally came back to his senses.

Then he saw Lu Yang beside him, paused, and recalled their mission overseas, his expression darkening.

They had come overseas for the semi-true treasure and the Innate Dao Sin.

Now the Dao Sin was gone, and the semi-true treasure had just been taken away by True Lord Qingcheng Feixue when she left!

ʼBastard!ʼ

Hong Ju cursed inwardly, but had to put on a bitter smile: ”Fellow Daoist, how about we change the terms? Do you have any other needs?”

”...Not that I donʼt.”

Lu Yang remained calm, having anticipated this: ”If fellow Daoist can find me a strand of Shen Metal Qi, I can hand over the method to you.”

Upon hearing this, Hong Juʼs eyes lit up: ”Thatʼs easy!”

”Fellow Daoist, come with me!”

Following Hong Ju, Lu Yang quickly arrived at a forest previously isolated by numerous formations to prevent causal investigation. Then, Hong Ju reached out.

A book of talismans floated into his hand.

Lu Yang narrowed his eyes.

It was the fruit position treasure of [Overturning Lamp Fire], the 『Book of Shared Fate and Altered Fortune』!
