Struggling to Survive with Regression Power in the Primordial Saint Sect Chapter 511: Coercion!

Tianwu City, Junior Mentor’s residence.

At this moment, Li Taian’s eyes were already bloodshot, sparks almost flying from his fingertips as he ceaselessly deduced causality. Meanwhile, his divine sense frantically scoured the entire city.

There was only one goal: to find Lu Yang.

However, the result was fruitless. But on second thought, Li Taian found this quite reasonable—after all, that was the World-Honored One. How could he possibly be calculated?

Yes, Li Taian had already concluded that Lu Yang was the World-Honored One.

“Could there be a problem on the Empress’s side?”

Li Taian turned toward the Junior Mentor and asked in a low voice, “If I’m not mistaken, the Five Capital Garrison manders might have already been corrupted by the World-Honored One. If they’ve corrupted the Empress…”

“No need to worry.”

The Junior Mentor shook his head. “The Tianwu Hall is the place where the【Immortal Nation Dao Law】is most concentrated. The Empress receives its protection—even the World-Honored One cannot corrupt her.”

If not for this, how could he have tolerated Empress Xiao recruiting the Five Capital Garrison manders alone?

“If it truly is the World-Honored One… then Her Majesty will have her own judgment. At most, she’ll lead the Five Capital Garrison manders into a trap. Her personal safety is not a concern.”

“That’s good.”

Hearing this, Li Taian also let out a breath of relief. Then, as he gazed down over the city again, he fell into deep confusion: ‘Where on earth did that demonic dragon go?’

“May Your Majesty grant this subject the Son of Heaven’s Talisman and approve the arrest.”

Lu Yang stood still where he was, and behind him were the Five Capital Garrison manders. The six of them stood as one, and seeing this, Empress Xiao’s pupils suddenly constricted:

“World-Honored One?”

The moment the thought arose, Empress Xiao’s first reaction was absurdity.

The World-Honored One of the Grooves came to the Dao Court once already—wasn’t that enough? A second time? Why don’t you go to Jiangnan or Jiangbei and face off with the Saint Sect or the Sword Pavilion?

On the other side, Lu Yang’s face darkened:

“Your Majesty, please don’t speak carelessly. Do I look like the World-Honored One?” Lu Yang turned to look at the Five Capital Garrison manders. “Do you all think I resemble him?”

The Five Capital Garrison manders responded in unison: “Not at all!”

At that moment, Empress Xiao was certain: ‘Definitely him.’

With this realization, Empress Xiao instead regained her posure. The World-Honored One’s incarnations never admitted their identity, so she simply addressed him as a fellow cultivator:

“Fellow Daoist Douhuan has been quite busy tonight.”

“Your Majesty, this humble subject is terrified.” Lu Yang replied calmly, “Though I’ve caused some minor unrest, all I’ve done has been for the sake of the Dao Court.”

“That is why I’ve e with the Five Capital Garrison manders to see Your Majesty.”

“I implore Your Majesty not to hesitate any longer. Otherwise, this may escalate into a massive internal conflict within the Dao Court. I hope Your Majesty will consider the people of Jiangdong.”

Such upright words left Empress Xiao stunned once again. So righteous—he was even somewhat reminiscent of the Sword Pavilion.

Where was this demonic dragon from?

Though filled with doubt, Empress Xiao’s beautiful face remained tense as if facing a great enemy. “And if I refuse? What will you do, Fellow Daoist?”

Just as the words left her lips, Empress Xiao saw the Five Capital Garrison manders behind Lu Yang suddenly take a synchronized step back, and then—

They walked out of the grand hall.

“Bang!”

As the doors opened and shut, only Lu Yang and Empress Xiao remained in the vast hall. The atmosphere instantly turned cold and murderous.

“If Your Majesty will not grant approval, then I will not leave today.”

These words made Empress Xiao’s expression suddenly darken. She lowered her voice and said, “You wish to carry out purges across the Dao Court without consent?”

“A demonic dragon of the Dragon Clan acting in such treasonous defiance.”

“Are you not afraid the Dao Lord will punish you?”

Lu Yang shook his head. “Your Majesty worries too much. How could we lowly cultivators presume to guess the Dao Lord’s will? Best not to pin hopes on that.”

Empress Xiao fell silent at his words.

In the next moment, she suddenly opened her mouth. A heavenly tone burst forth from her lips, shattering gold and stone, attempting to soar from the hall and resound across all Tianwu City:

“Summon the Three Dukes to enter the palace and rescue the sovereign!”

This call for help was without any reservation. Even if it couldn’t escape the harem, as long as the Crown Prince Longxing heard it, he could at least offer some aid.

Yet immediately after, dazzling divine light burst from behind Lu Yang, as if unrolling a breathtaking painting. Mountains, rivers, and grand peaks surged from flat earth; the heavens rose with sun, moon, and stars—interweaving into a vast domain that swallowed Empress Xiao’s cry for help entirely.

【Chongli Imperial Edict Mountains and Seas Map】！

This innate divine ability unfurled as though heaven and earth had changed. It instantly isolated Empress Xiao from the outside world. What shocked her even more was—

“A Blessed Land!?”

For a moment, Empress Xiao was stunned: ‘A Blessed Land… only those who’ve perfected Foundation Establishment can refine one. But this person clearly cultivated through the Incense Fire God Path…’

At that thought, she hurriedly formed a hand seal.

“Disperse!”

【Seven Luminaries Heaven】emerged in her palm. A beam of light fell directly onto Lu Yang, yet his perfected Foundation Establishment position did not fluctuate in the slightest.

Seeing this, Empress Xiao finally understood:

‘This demonic dragon… did not reach Foundation Establishment Perfection via the Incense Fire God Path, but by cultivating his own nature. He had already achieved plete divine abilities!’

But how could this be possible?

The thought chilled her: ‘According to the records, when this demonic dragon entered Jiangdong, he was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment!’

And now, how long had it been?

One year? Two?

Even with the blessing of official position, the true dragon background, and【Immortal Nation Dao Law】accelerating cultivation, reaching mid-stage Foundation Establishment was already impressive.

But Foundation Establishment Perfection? And not just ordinary perfection—he had already condensed a Blessed Land! Such cultivation speed—he must either be a reincarnated True Lord, or a World-Honored One hunting small fish.

And reincarnated True Lords… the only one in the last five thousand years was Hong Yun. So that option was out.

‘Then it must be the World-Honored One!’

Empress Xiao took a deep breath. Radiant light gradually surrounded her, making her already peerless beauty even more sacred and untouchable.

A radiance coalesced behind her head, eventually forming a full moon halo—pure and flawless. Lu Yang showed a look of surprise; in his past life, he too had achieved Foundation Establishment Perfection using【Seven Luminaries Heaven】. He recognized it instantly.

That full moon halo was clearly a manifestation of divine ability.

‘【Exquisite Heart】, 【True Qi Containment】, 【Union Technique】, 【Heaven-Bearing Principle】, 【Unity with the World】… all five of these outer-path divine abilities are the same as mine.’

And not just those.

For Empress Xiao also held the【Roadside Earth】official position. At this moment, heavenly radiance blazed above her head, and the title【Empress of Benevolent and Sacred Thought】also manifested divine ability.

“.Interesting.”

A smile surfaced in Lu Yang’s eyes. Though Empress Xiao’s strength was surprising, he happened to be in need of a fine whetstone right now!

In the next second, the entire Kunning Palace began to tremble slightly.

Back courtyard, outside Kunning Palace.

The Five Capital Garrison manders stood solemnly guarding the door, while the Crown Prince Longxing, previously expelled by Empress Xiao, paced nervously back and forth:

“Generals, is Mother alright? I still need her to manage the situation over here.”

“Please rest assured, Your Highness.”

The Five Capital Garrison manders responded in unison:

“Her Majesty merely said she wishes to enter seclusion for a period and manded us to guard the doors. No one is to enter. We ask Your Highness to wait a moment.”

Hearing this, the Crown Prince felt a little irritated.

But Empress Xiao’s authority weighed heavily in his heart, so he didn’t dare retort. Turning back, he suddenly noticed the Kunning Palace was trembling and rumbling from within.

“What’s going on in there?”

The Five Capital Garrison manders glanced over, then calmly said, “Seems Her Majesty is making a breakthrough. Please don’t worry, Your Highness. It will be done in time.”
