Struggling to Survive with Regression Power in the Primordial Saint Sect Chapter 372: A Sudden Predicament

Guang Ming's appearance unraveled the doubts lingering in Lu Yang's heart.

Why did Heaven and Earth act so hastily?

Because the World Honored One had set his sights on him!

In an instant, Lu Yang was nearly scared out of his wits. After all, the World Honored One was the most absurd and shameless person he had encountered in his ten lifetimes of cultivation.

A Nascent Soul Dao Master attacking a Foundation Establishment cultivator?

"But the question is, what virtues or abilities do I possess to warrant the attention of the World Honored One?"

This was utterly unreasonable!

Of course, for a moment, Lu Yang also suspected whether it might be due to a previous lifetime where the World Honored One nearly captured him to restart, leaving behind hidden dangers.

However, he quickly dismissed this notion.

Absolutely impossible!

"After all, that was several lifetimes ago. If that were the case, I should have been captured and refined by the World Honored One in my previous life."

Feeling the urgency transmitted by Heaven and Earth, Lu Yang's eyes suddenly lit up as he came to a realization: "I was wrong. I got the cause and effect reversed! It's not because the World Honored One targeted me that Heaven and Earth acted hastily, but because Heaven and Earth have been supporting me, which is why the World Honored One targeted me!"

In simple terms, it's because of his identity as an Immortal Spirit!

"I had previously suspected the significance of the Immortal Spirit's existence. In my view, it seemed as if Heaven and Earth had nurtured it specifically to occupy a certain position."

Now it seemed, that was spot on!

"If my guess is correct, the four Dao Masters are likely contending with Heaven and Earth. Heaven and Earth want to support the Immortal Spirit, while the Dao Masters aim to suppress it!"

This speculation also resolved another doubt he had earlier.

Why did the Immortal Spirit also need to undergo tribulations?

As Heaven's favored child, his cultivation should have been smooth sailing, without bottlenecks, and without additional requirements for Dao attainment.

But what was the result?

Not only did he have to undergo the [Heavenly Thunder Tribulation] of the late Foundation Establishment stage, but also the [Five Decays of Heaven and Man] at the pletion of Foundation Establishment. None of the challenges were spared.

"Now it seems... these might not have been imposed by Heaven and Earth!"

"But rather by the Dao Masters!"

No wonder, after so many years, no Immortal Spirit had grown up. Probably ninety-nine percent of them were privately interrupted by the Dao Masters, or even recruited.

The Primordial Saint Sect had a typical example: Chong Guang!

"What innate Immortal Spirit? It's a huge pit!"

"The result is that the Immortal Spirits painstakingly cultivated by Heaven and Earth all ended up serving the Dao Masters, ultimately being talents under the four Dao Masters."

Boom!

The murmuring in his ears grew louder. In the vision, Guang Ming was evidently flying towards the direction of the Myriad Poison Sect, with little time remaining.

Lu Yang was struck with sudden inspiration, understanding that this was Heaven and Earth urging him, reminding him. In human terms, it was saying: "Don't worry, you are Daddy's favorite child. Everything just now was a misunderstanding. Daddy just wants to save you. Quickly open your mind and heart, so Daddy can help you ascend to the heavens in one step."

"I trust you, ghost!"

Lu Yang remained unwavering, still holding onto a sliver of clarity. Treat me well? Want to save me? If that were true, you wouldn't have made me inexplicably drowsy just now!

Ultimately, it's still about harming me!

That said, Lu Yang couldn't help but feel a bit helpless. With Heaven and Earth in front and the World Honored One behind, it left no room for maneuver.

"Forget it... self-detonate then!"

Admit your prowess, this time it's yours.

Lu Yang made a decision.

However, in the next second, his expression slightly stiffened, because his Immortal Spirit body was now firmly restrained by the [Sacred Pool of Moon Worship].

Unable to mit suicide!

This time, Lu Yang's expression truly changed.

If it were just a general inability to mit suicide, Lu Yang wouldn't mind. As long as he maintained his mental clarity, he would eventually find an opportunity. But the World Honored One was outside!

If he really came knocking, and he couldn't even mit suicide.

Then it would be over!

Not to mention, the World Honored One's goal this time was probably him, wanting to snatch the meat from Heaven and Earth's mouth, almost certainly ing to convert him!

—A desperate situation!

Without any reason, without giving Lu Yang any psychological preparation, one moment he was favored by Heaven and Earth, the next he was a hero trapped by fate.

Yet, even so, his thoughts remained calm.

The murmuring of Heaven and Earth in his ears intensified, telling him of the crisis, advising him to consider the bigger picture, trying to make him involuntarily feel fear.

"If the World Honored One es, then let him e!"

As soon as Lu Yang had this thought, the murmuring in his ears instantly turned into a roar, but he remained unmoved. Instead, the corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a cold smile:

"Stir it up, stir it up, just stir it up!"

"Stir it up so that the World Honored One es to turn me into a Buddhist cultivator, stir it up so that the Dao Masters personally e and destroy the Immortal Spirit body. I might as well play along with you to the end!"

Was Lu Yang afraid of death?

Of course he was, but after ten lifetimes of cultivation, he knew that the more afraid of death he was, the more he had to act unafraid! In this damn place, one couldn't survive without going mad!

In an instant, all was silent.

All the murmuring ceased. Lu Yang sat quietly, his thoughts being increasingly clear. The consciousness contamination from Heaven and Earth was both a crisis and the best whetstone, honing his newly achieved [Sword Heart] to bee sharper, like a cold, unsheathed blade.

Immediately after, the roaring sound surged like a tide!

However, this time, Lu Yang smiled, because he could feel that the drowsiness arising from this was much weaker than before!

Heaven and Earth promised?

Of course not. It's just that Heaven and Earth had more important matters to attend to, so they were forced to withdraw the power originally focused on him.

"This is enough... this is enough!"

When two tigers fight, one is bound to get hurt!

His chance of survival lay here!

In the next second, Lu Yang felt a tremor beneath his feet.

"Amitabha!"

A grand Buddhist chant resounded in the distant sky. Guang Ming had arrived! He was already standing in front of the Myriad Poison Sect's mountain gate, with a passionate smile on his face.

"Swish swish!"

Almost simultaneously, Lu Yang saw the three divine abilities he had painstakingly cultivated, [Master of Arms], [Stubborn Gold Duke], and [Solemn Mysterious Frost], all flying out from his body.

However, [Tribulation Wave] did not move.

This treasure brought by the [Book of a Hundred Lifetimes] severed cause and effect, and only Lu Yang could activate it. Even Heaven and Earth couldn't influence it in the slightest.

But soon, Lu Yang witnessed a scene that left him dumbfounded.

Only to see a bell toll between Heaven and Earth, and a celestial phenomenon suddenly converged before him without any reason, finally transforming into a white mist that gently descended.

[You Metal]!

The celestial phenomenon formed!

Right before his eyes!

"This is truly Heaven and Earth's child... If Heaven and Earth fully supported me, why would I need to waste time searching for celestial phenomena?"

Lu Yang gritted his teeth, staring at the [You Metal] before him.

At the same time, he also understood Heaven and Earth's intentions. Why scheme against him? Because he was uncontrollable! Heaven and Earth needed a controllable Immortal Spirit!

"Heaven and Earth must have suffered enough from Hong Yun. After painstakingly elevating Hong Yun to the position of True Lord, Hong Yun turned around and sold it out, not sharing any benefits. No wonder Heaven and Earth don't trust me... actually paring me to Hong Yun. Don't they know I'm a good person?"

In the next second, [You Metal] merged with Lu Yang's body.

The fourth innate divine ability emerged.

[Heavenly Bell]!

In an instant, there was no divine brilliance, only a melodious bell ringing, as the four innate divine abilities gathered together, finally outlining a figure.

Immediately after, that figure rushed out of the Myriad Poison Sect's mountain gate.

Seeing this scene, Guang Ming, who was about to break through the Myriad Poison Sect's grand formation, was momentarily stunned, then nodded in great satisfaction, smiling:

"Benefactor, you and I are destined to be master and disciple."
