Struggling to Survive with Regression Power in the Primordial Saint Sect

At the same time, within the Sea of Stars.

On the massive Fubo Warship of the Dao Court, Ying Tongshou was wiping cold sweat from his forehead while watching Ye Xingfeng, who stood at the bow of the ship, staring intently at the sky above.

Although he had now attained the rank of Fourth Grade General, equivalent to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, strictly speaking, he was at the same realm as Ye Xingfeng.

But he knew his own limits better than anyone.

Compared to Ye Xingfeng, the difference was not just like heaven and earth, but even wider.

Therefore, his attitude was extremely respectful.

”You are certain that man fled into a secret realm?”

At this moment, Ye Xingfeng turned his head, frowning tightly, and said, ”I already swept the area with my sword intent, but found no trace of any secret realm.”

”Reporting to True Person Tianxing, it still requires time.”

Ying Tongshou hurriedly replied, ”If that person is truly Yuan Tu, the demon from Jiangbei Demon Sect, I am certain he must have hidden inside the 【Blood Demon Island】.”

”Our Dao Court’s Division of Celestial Observance once performed a divination on this, stating that the demon and 【Blood Demon Island】 share a deep karmic entanglement.”

”If not for this, I would not have received His Majesty’s secret order and traveled all the way from Jiangdong.”

”But please rest assured, True Person, at most in three days, that secret realm will descend.”

”If you are deceiving me, I will cut you down,” Ye Xingfeng said coldly.

”Rest assured, True Person!”

Upon hearing this, Ying Tongshou immediately patted his chest, then took out a Bagua compass: ”This is the Fixed Star Compass specially bestowed upon me by the Division of Celestial Observance before I departed.”

”With this, I can confirm the falling location of 【Blood Demon Island】.”

”True Person, you are knowledgeable and can surely tell that I am not lying. Look, this falling location—isn’t it within the Sea of Stars… sea…”

The next second, Ying Tongshou’s eyes suddenly widened.

”The location… shifted?”

Ying Tongshou immediately felt a wave of sword intent lock onto him, causing his hair to stand on end.

He quickly changed his tone: ”Just a technical adjustment!”

”A slight shift is not a big problem.”

”True Person, look, it is still very close to the Sea of Stars. Divination is never one hundred percent accurate. A small deviation is acceptable.”

Speaking up to this point, Ying Tongshou immediately employed the bureaucratic skills he had honed in the Dao Court over the years to downplay the situation and shift the responsibility: ”If I am not mistaken, it should be that Lü Yang has somehow altered the falling location of the secret realm, attempting to seize the chance to escape!”

”But he did not expect that I possess the Fixed Star Compass, such a rare treasure.”

”In this way, all his efforts are wasted. We just need to follow the Fixed Star Compass to catch him red-handed!”

As he spoke, even Ying Tongshou started to believe his own words.

On the other side, after hearing this, Ye Xingfeng nodded, feeling that the speculation sounded reasonable and was not baseless.

He immediately said, ”Then let’s pursue him.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ying Tongshou felt the sword intent locking onto him quietly dissipate.

He secretly let out a breath of relief, then immediately called out to the Dao Court’s soldiers below to operate the Fubo Warship, following the guidance of the Fixed Star Compass, heading straight toward the Chaotic Sea where the Biyang Cultivation World was located.

Chaotic Sea, Biyang Cultivation World.

Inside the main hall of the Immortal Alliance headquarters, twelve powerful cultivators in the Integration Realm were surrounding the 【Imperial Palace Golden Talisman Doushuai True Edict】, silently sacrificing their lives to refine this true treasure.

Cultivation was cultivation, and this was the destined path for every Integration Realm cultivator in Biyang Cultivation World.

However, at this moment, the most senior among them, an elderly man with white hair named Lin Lao, suddenly opened his eyes and looked toward a message sent from the outside world:

”An anomaly has appeared on the edge of the sea?”

”Ghost clouds are stirring, spiritual light is radiating, triggering waves of spiritual tides in all directions. It seems a secret realm is about to emerge, and its grade appears to be extremely high—possibly at the Foundation Establishment level.”

Seeing this, Lin Lao’s expression immediately turned serious.

Although the Biyang Cultivation World was isolated, it was not completely ignorant of the outside world.

Especially regarding the title ”Foundation Establishment True Person,” which was deeply etched in their memory.

Soon, Lin Lao spread the news.

In an instant, the entire hall erupted into discussion among the twelve Integration Realm cultivators, clearly curious about this so-called Foundation Establishment secret realm.

”Lin Lao, do you think there might be a way inside to help us break the restriction?”

”For three thousand years, this 【Imperial Palace Golden Talisman Doushuai True Edict】 has devoured countless of our fellow cultivators’ lives. I don’t want to end up dying by this thing either.”

”I think it’s worth a try!”

Amidst the various opinions, Lin Lao’s expression gradually softened.

However, at this moment, he slightly tilted his head, as if he heard some strange sound.

”… All of you, leave first.”

The next second, Lin Lao’s expression suddenly changed, and he directly dismissed the gathered Integration Realm cultivators.

The others did not find this strange, as similar situations had happened before.

Since Lin Lao did not explain, they simply assumed he was old and needed solitude to think clearly.

However, after everyone had left.

Lin Lao raised his head and looked toward the 【Imperial Palace Golden Talisman Doushuai True Edict】 in the center of the hall, saying in a deep voice, ”Come out, what do you want to say?”

”Hehe…”

Accompanied by a soft laugh, the talisman script on the 【Imperial Palace Golden Talisman Doushuai True Edict】 gradually transformed, eventually sketching out a pale golden face.

”… I am doing this for your own good as well.”

The pale golden face moved its lips, and Lin Lao uncontrollably mimicked its movements, clearly being used by the other party to speak:

”I have already sensed a great karmic force about to fall into this Chaotic Sea.”

”That is a person condemned by both heaven and earth, with terrifying karma. To provoke such a grand disturbance… I estimate he might be a rising star of the Primordial Saint Sect.”

”But thanks to him, I now have a chance to break free.”

”Break free?”

Upon hearing this, Lin Lao’s face changed slightly.

He knew very well that this monster had been sealed by an Innate True Person, and theoretically, it was impossible to escape.

Not even Daoist Hong Yun had managed to rescue him back then!

”Do not panic.”

”My escape is also beneficial to you.”

The pale golden face continued, ”After all, without me, you small fry cannot withstand that person’s karma and will die miserably.”

”Of course, I am in no hurry.”

The pale golden face appeared extremely calm, and his mood seemed uncharacteristically pleasant: ”Condemned by heaven and earth… It seems the current situation is already sufficient?”

”The karma targeting me has not yet been released by heaven and earth.”

”I hope that True Person of the Primordial Saint Sect can hold on a bit longer, long enough for heaven and earth to believe that no one else can handle him except by releasing me to kill him.”

At that time, it would be his opportunity to break free.

Upon hearing this, Lin Lao grew somewhat impatient: ”What exactly do you want?”

”Take me to that secret realm.”

The pale golden face continued, ”Bring the 【Imperial Palace Golden Talisman Doushuai True Edict】 with you. This way, I might even be able to save your lives if necessary.”

”This…”

Lin Lao hesitated slightly.

As the foundation of the Immortal Alliance, the 【Imperial Palace Golden Talisman Doushuai True Edict】 housed their true souls and theoretically should not be moved lightly.

However, according to the other party’s words, that secret realm was undoubtedly extremely dangerous.

If they brought the 【Imperial Palace Golden Talisman Doushuai True Edict】 for protection, they might have a better chance of survival.

Moreover, if there really was a True Person from the Saint Sect, perhaps he could lift the restriction on the 【Imperial Palace Golden Talisman Doushuai True Edict】.

After much consideration, Lin Lao finally made up his mind: ”Alright, I will take you there.”

After speaking, he put the 【Imperial Palace Golden Talisman Doushuai True Edict】 into his robe.

”Remember your words.”

”We only seek liberation. We do not wish to die and be unable to reincarnate, forever devoured by this cursed thing as its offering.”

”Liberation? What a luxurious desire.”

For a moment, only the final echo of the pale golden face remained in the hall: ”Heaven watches all. We, the ants, are all offerings, aren’t we?”
