Struggling to Survive with Regression Power in the Primordial Saint Sect

In the Sky-reaching Sea of Clouds, on the Sacred Fire Cliff.

Accompanied by a dazzling flash of light, Lü Yang had just stepped out of the 【Heaven-reaching Hall】 when he immediately felt several divine senses fall upon him.

”Yuan Tu, where is Miao Yin?”

A True Person inquired, and Lü Yang immediately put on a sorrowful expression: ”We encountered an accident, the World Barrier was perilous, Madam died violently, and this disciple failed to save her in time.”

”Oh!”

Several divine senses quickly withdrew.

These must have been Miao Yin’s past connections, yet none showed any intention of questioning her death.

Seeing this, Lü Yang was not surprised.

No one cared about the dead.

What’s more, although Miao Yin was dead, he had returned safely without any sign of heavenly punishment.

This indicated that he had gained a great deal this time.

At this point, he was no longer someone ordinary True Persons could afford to provoke.

’When a person leaves, the tea cools; it is nothing more than this.’

Lü Yang shook his head.

The True Persons of the Sacred Sect were still too heartless.

They were nothing like him, who still cherished old sentiments, remembering many things clearly even after several lifetimes.

’Speaking of which, Senior Brother Zhao still owes me Contribution Points from several lifetimes ago.’

Unfortunately, the person was already dead.

He would find him in the next life.

While thinking, Lü Yang rode a streak of light back to Mount Luofeng and arrived at the secluded chamber where his true body was in closed cultivation.

Then, he withdrew his consciousness from the Immortal Embryo clone.

The clone, losing Lü Yang’s control, immediately froze in place.

Its eyes became vacant, utterly devoid of spirit.

Meanwhile, Lü Yang’s true body stretched happily.

This was the benefit of not splitting one’s divine sense.

The clone and the true body were essentially one and the same, leaving no room for betrayal.

”All in all, it wasn’t a wasted trip.”

Lü Yang moved his mind and immediately extracted a phantom image from the Immortal Embryo clone.

It was a three-headed, six-armed, blue-faced, and tusked figure, which he then absorbed into his body.

【Heaven’s Dominion Universal Capture Dharma Body】!

The Second-Rank True Art had reached mastery.

This Dharma Body was considered a preliminary achievement.

It was both a divine ability and a spiritual treasure, much like the 【Nine Child Mother Heaven Demon Immortal-Slaying Sword】.

”This Dharma Body has four profound mysteries!”

”It was well worth the effort.”

”With the blessing of these four profound mysteries, it is almost no less than an innate divine ability.”

”For a Foundation Establishment True Person, this was practically a qualitative transformation!”

Back in the day, Ye Guyue had been just like this.

With a single 【Nine Child Mother Heaven Demon Immortal-Slaying Sword】, even when Lü Yang had drained her merit and fortune and clouded her mind with calamity, it was still a hard-fought battle when he set up the grand formation.

If she had been in her peak state, at the late Foundation Establishment stage, combined with the 【Nine Child Mother Heaven Demon Immortal-Slaying Sword】, Lü Yang would certainly not have been her match.

”Of course, if that were the case, I wouldn’t have fought her.”

”If I couldn’t win, I could always run.”

”After all, I’ve always specialized in bullying the weak and sickly.”

”That is the true essence of cultivation.”

”What’s the fun in fighting equals?”

”Crushing the opponent is where the joy lies.”

Thinking this, Lü Yang once again activated his divine sense to examine the Dharma Body.

”【Heaven’s Dominion Universal Capture Dharma Body】, as the name implies, the four profound mysteries are 【Heaven’s Dominion】, 【Universal Capture】, 【All Phenomena】, and 【Dharma Body】!”

【Heaven’s Dominion】 had the highest status.

It could slightly reverse the ’Heaven’s Will’ within a certain range to favor oneself.

With the Dharma Body’s blessing, every move carried the fortune of Heaven and Earth, allowing one’s magical powers and divine abilities to operate smoothly.

Meanwhile, the opponent could easily fall into deviation.

”It sounds domineering, but in reality, it’s not very useful.”

Lü Yang shook his head.

How could Heaven’s Will be so easily reversed?

This profound mystery worked flawlessly on Qi Refining cultivators, but it was ineffective against Foundation Establishment cultivators.

”At most, it could influence the early stage.”

”And if both are at the mid-stage with equal status, 【Heaven’s Dominion】 would have little effect.”

”However, it happens to complement one of my innate divine abilities.”

【Discern Right from Wrong】!

Among the four profound mysteries of Lü Yang’s innate divine abilities, 【Discern Right from Wrong】 was the least used.

It was a perfect tool for bullying the weak, but useless against those of the same realm.

However, things were different now.

”With the blessing of the Dharma Body’s 【Heaven’s Dominion】, perhaps the effectiveness of 【Discern Right from Wrong】 could be greatly enhanced, making it truly useful even against those of the same realm!”

”Combining the two might lead to a qualitative transformation.”

Though saying this, Lü Yang’s face did not reveal any joy.

Instead, it gradually grew more solemn as he continued to examine the other three profound mysteries of the Dharma Body.

”【Universal Capture】, as the name implies, allows one to seize souls and thoughts from a distance.”

”It is exceptionally useful against cultivators with sturdy physical bodies, bypassing their physical advantage to snatch their souls out of thin air.”

”Good grief, this is practically calling out the name of the Pure Land Buddhist cultivators!”

”This is clearly targeted!”

”【All Phenomena】 is the same as before, allowing the fusion of external objects to temper the Dharma Body.”

”The final 【Dharma Body】 is a blessing mystery, where the strength of the blessing depends on the degree of damage.”

”The more severe the damage, the greater the blessing.”

”It can double at its peak!”

”In other words, as long as I have the blessing of this Dharma Body, the more injured I am, the stronger my divine abilities and magical powers become.”

”When I am on the brink of death, I will be at my strongest!”

After a moment of silence, Lü Yang put away the Dharma Body.

He couldn’t help but admit that this Second-Rank True Art was a perfect match for 【City Wall Earth】.

Was this technique deliberately placed into his hands?

Lü Yang couldn’t help but doubt it.

After all, this was too much of a coincidence.

Having lived nine lifetimes in this damned Sacred Sect, he had long understood that every so-called opportunity in the Sacred Sect always had someone fishing behind the scenes!

”Chong Guang must have known.”

”After all, it was he who personally delivered the technique.”

”But he’s already dead, so I can’t ask him.”

”Could it be the descendants of Zouyu within the Sacred Sect?”

After all, obtaining this Dharma Body meant that if Lü Yang could successfully gather Qi in the future and pull the position of 【Ten Thousand Martial World】 into the main world to validate 【City Wall Earth】, then 【City Wall Earth】 could absorb it and greatly enhance its power.

At that point, it might no longer be constrained by the Pure Land.

If the Sacred Sect provided additional support...

”Perhaps there is still hope?”

Thinking of this, Lü Yang felt that this might really be the handiwork of the Zouyu descendants.

After all, reclaiming 【City Wall Earth】 had always been their long-cherished wish.

However, although he had taken the benefits, it didn’t mean he had to follow through with the task!

This matter still needed careful consideration.

Immediately after, Lü Yang took out a sachet.

This was Miao Yin’s storage pouch, which she had given him before she died.

He had already ransacked it once, finding only one item barely worth his attention.

It was a pill radiating a faint glow.

Ordinary True Persons, with their poor eyesight, might mistake this for an actual pill.

Only Lü Yang, with his considerable knowledge in formations, could discern its true nature.

”What a marvelous formation!”

”A Mustard Seed within a Sumeru.”

”What’s sealed inside?”

Lü Yang’s divine sense probed inside and immediately saw a lake surging with massive waves, and within it, a colossal True Dragon with a look of utter despair, as if it had already given up.

Lü Yang was instantly stunned: ”.Sui Ying?”

Almost simultaneously, Sui Ying also sensed his presence and immediately roared: ”Suo Huan! If you want to kill me, then kill me! Trapping me here, what exactly do you want?”

”This True Dragon King was captured by Suo Huan?”

Lü Yang’s expression turned strange.

A True Dragon, with its dragon horns, claws, and scales, was a treasure trove.

It was perfect for refining the 【Heaven’s Dominion Universal Capture Dharma Body】!

At this moment, Lü Yang suddenly felt a slight movement in his heart.

Because he had brought back a large amount of 【Ten Thousand Martial World】 essence this time, not only had he filled the deficit caused by Miao Yin True Person and the Earth Fiend Qi, but he had also gained extra.

As a result, Heaven and Earth had indeed rewarded him with a large sum of merit and fortune.

It had replenished about one-third of what Chong Guang True Person had drained before, with plenty to spare.

It had also reached the threshold for seeking the Heavenly Gang and Earth Fiend.

At this moment, prompted by his fortune, he gained an insight:

”My opportunity has arrived!”

”The second Heavenly Gang and Earth Fiend needed to break through to the late Foundation Establishment stage... is related to this Dragon King, and it’s overseas?”
