Struggling to Survive with Regression Power in the Primordial Saint Sect Chapter 301 : A Deal with Chong Guang

Chapter 301: A Deal with Chong Guang

The Sword-Hiding Villa, inside the loft.

In the Sword-Hiding Villa, within a loft.

Lü Yang sat upright on a ditation cushion, his body radiating brilliance. The light eventually converged upon him, transforming into resplendent golden patterns that etched themselves onto his skin and flesh.

Innate Divine Ability, 【Stubborn Gold Duke】!

This ability was not acquired through refining the Heavenly Gang and Earth Fiend energies but was instead simulated in advance using the thod-holding power of the 【Calamity Wave】.

“【Shen tal】 is a dull tal that requires tempering by fire to beco a sword or halberd. This energy resides in the Earth Fiend position and, along with 【Geng tal】, belongs to the yang attribute tals. Its light is extrely sharp and difficult to destroy. When applied to the dharma body, it becos impervious to blades, axes, and even lightning strikes. Hence, it is called 【Stubborn Gold Duke】.”

Boom!

In the next mont, as the innate divine ability descended, Lü Yang's aura surged, forcefully breaking through the shackles of the early Foundation Establishnt stage and advancing directly to the mid Foundation Establishnt stage!

“Finally, so achievent.”

Lü Yang opened his eyes and nodded in satisfaction. After three years, his immortal spirit body had finally reached perfection in the early stage, and his thod-holding power could now rival that of the mid Foundation Establishnt stage.

Reflecting on the past, these three years had indeed been arduous.

‘After leaving Gantang Dao, I imdiately destroyed my clone and buried all the Geng tal spiritual items I had gathered, not daring to take them, fearing they would implicate my main body.’

Lü Yang had always been decisive, directly abandoning all the gains from the Li Clan of Sea Harvesting and spending three years collecting Geng tal spiritual items anew. Only recently did he complete the final step of nurturing his immortal spirit body in the early Foundation Establishnt stage. At the sa ti, he confird sothing that greatly relieved him:

‘That “Ang Xiao” is probably not free either.’

If his guess was correct, Ang Xiao was likely unable to leave the Underworld!

‘In the previous life, the reason he could roam like a ghost was largely because he had refined the karmic sin that resulted from Uncle Chong Guang's failed pursuit of gold.’

Just like Lü Yang now, having a clone naturally allowed one to traverse the world.

However, at this point in ti, Ang Xiao clearly did not have such ans, so his perception of the present world was limited, certainly not omniscient.

Otherwise, why would the Qing Chen Fairy dare to challenge him in the previous life?

Apart from Qing Chen Fairy's boldness and extraordinary strength, part of the reason was also the significant restrictions Ang Xiao faced in the Underworld.

Besides this, there was another matter that exceeded Lü Yang's expectations.

That was the Jiangnan Mass Grave.

‘When I was in the Primordial Saint Sect, less than a month after the restart, the Sword Pavilion launched an attack on the Jiangnan Mass Grave, causing the price of substitute Yin puppets to skyrocket.’

‘However, in this life, perhaps due to the letter I sent to Uncle Chong Guang as a warning, the Primordial Saint Sect strengthened its defenses at the Jiangnan Mass Grave. As a result, the Sword Pavilion has yet to act, and there seem to be other considerations. It's been three years, and still, no battle has occurred.’

This was also a good thing.

After all, if the battle had started too early, it would have been difficult for him to get a share. Now that he had returned to the mid Foundation Establishnt stage, he had a bit more qualification to participate.

Thinking of this, Lü Yang finally took out a flying communication spirit book.

This was paired with the one he had sent to the Primordial Saint Sect; the two could sense each other and communicate directly through writing.

‘Over the past three years, Uncle Chong Guang has tried to contact more than once.’

‘It seems he is quite curious about .’

Lü Yang did not respond imdiately but waited for three years. On one hand, it was because his cultivation was not yet complete; on the other hand, it was also to deliberately whet the appetite.

What cos easily is not cherished.

Only by playing hard to get can one maintain the initiative.

That said, Lü Yang did not imdiately activate the spirit book in his hand. Instead, with a thought, his divine sense locked onto a mortal city thousands of miles away.

Then he randomly selected a Qi Refining rogue cultivator in the city.

He then sent the spirit book to the rogue cultivator and activated the 【Puppet on Strings】 to control him, thereby creating a causal firewall.

‘Although Uncle Chong Guang is considered relatively moral in the Primordial Saint Sect, it's only relative. Moreover, he also has a True Person backing him! Who knows if he's just waiting for to make contact, so that the Feixue True Person can imdiately break through the void and capture for instant refinent.’

In this regard, Lü Yang had to admit that the 【Puppet on Strings】 was truly useful.

However, it wasn't because of its 【Hypnosis】 effect, as that was essentially a tool for bullying lower realms.

The key was in severing causality.

No one could trace Lü Yang, the puppeteer, through the causality of the 【Puppet on Strings】, which was why he could successfully hide behind the scenes.

Otherwise, when he encountered Ang Xiao three years ago, he would have been forced to restart.

‘It's all thanks to the cheat!’

Lü Yang sighed, then, through the firewall of the 【Puppet on Strings】, manipulated the Qi Refining rogue cultivator to activate the flying communication spirit book.

Almost simultaneously.

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

Chong Guang, who had been ditating, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the flying communication that had been silent for three years, showing a hint of interest.

Finally couldn't hold back?

In the next mont, he waved his sleeve, accepting Lü Yang's communication request, and imdiately began to deduce causality through the connection between the spirit books!

The result, naturally, was nothing.

Then, a ssage appeared before his eyes through the spirit book:

【I know a secret that not only concerns the cultivation of “Overturning Lamp Fla” but also relates to the secret of that “Heavenly Fortune Bright Light True Person.” Are you interested?】

Chong Guang raised his eyebrows slightly upon seeing this.

Just this statent alone told him that the other party was not an ordinary person, as not everyone knew the title 【Heavenly Fortune Bright Light True Person】.

After a mont of thought, he waved his hand and wrote four words:

【What secret?】

Soon, a reply ca:

【I want a superior-grade spiritual treasure!】

Chong Guang's expression imdiately beca peculiar. He stroked his chin with interest. Demanding benefits upfront—could this person be a True Person of the Primordial Saint Sect?

【I naturally have superior-grade spiritual treasures, but how do I give them to you?】

【That's your problem to solve. However, my secret involves a fragnt of a cave heaven left behind after the fall of that “Heavenly Fortune Bright Light True Person.”】

“...”

Chong Guang's expression grew more solemn. In the next mont, a graceful figure appeared in the hall. With a wave of her hand, the spirit book fell into her grasp.

“Trouble the True Person.”

Only then did Chong Guang smile. The person holding the spirit book was none other than the Qing Chen Fairy, who had just exited seclusion upon receiving Chong Guang's ssage!

The Qing Chen Fairy did not deduce causality but instead violently traced the connection between the two spirit books. In an instant, she locked onto a location in Jiangnan, then reached out—

In a flash! The void shattered, and a figure was directly pulled over from afar!

However, upon seeing the person, both of them let out a soft exclamation.

Their gazes fell upon the figure, who turned out to be none other than the Qi Refining rogue cultivator randomly selected and controlled by Lü Yang using the 【Puppet on Strings】.

‘As expected, they played dirty... Scoundrels!’

Far away in Jiangnan, Lü Yang's main body shook his head helplessly, feeling no emotional fluctuation. He had anticipated that caution would ensure longevity. The Primordial Saint Sect's scoundrels had no sense of martial ethics!

Especially Chong Guang—utterly absurd!

It was just a negotiation, yet he directly invited the Qing Chen Fairy to act. If not for his prior vigilance, he would have been forced to restart by now!

“It seems... Fellow Daoist prefers face-to-face communication?”

Lü Yang, through the 【Puppet on Strings】, smiled slightly at Chong Guang. But in the next second, he felt a mighty force descend upon the rogue cultivator's body.

Without a word, they directly perford a soul search!

However, Lü Yang remained calm, as the rogue cultivator's mories had no connection to him. No matter how they searched, they would find nothing.

After a long ti, the mighty force dissipated.

The Qing Chen Fairy's beautiful eyes sparkled, clearly intrigued by Lü Yang, with a look as if she wished to dissect him directly.

Seeing this, Lü Yang spread his hands: “Can we talk now?”

As his words fell, the True Person Chong Guang finally smiled, then looked deeply at Lü Yang: “Interesting... It seems Fellow Daoist is indeed a True Person of our Primordial Saint Sect.”

Moreover, judging by this deanor, he was likely not an ordinary True Person of the Primordial Saint Sect!
