Struggling to Survive with Regression Power in the Primordial Saint Sect-Chapter 344 : All Beings Compete for Freedom Under the Frosty Sky!

Chapter 344: All Beings Compete for Freedom Under the Frosty Sky!

In the realm of 【No Heaven】, above the layers of cloud seas.

Chong Guang stood amidst the clouds, somewhat surprised, for this time, he had not assumed the identity of the Innate True Person but had appeared in his original form.

“Greetings, fellow Daoist.”

Responding to the voice, he looked over to see the clouds rising and falling, revealing an elderly man with white hair and a wrinkled face, who was smiling at him: “You are the first to reach this place, fellow Daoist.”

Chong Guang did not reply but continued to observe his surroundings. Then, in a deep voice, he said, “I had thought that this final tribulation would be a scene from your past pursuit of gold. Was I mistaken, or do you, as before, wish to have a chat with me before we formally begin?”

“Both, perhaps.”

The Innate True Person smiled slightly. With a wave of his sleeve, the cloud vapor transformed into a tea pavilion. He took a seat first, and Chong Guang followed, sitting opposite him.

“Fellow Daoist, you have endured four tribulations. Could you share your feelings?”

The Innate True Person's tone was calm and composed: “I have faced numerous tribulations in my life. How do they appear to you, fellow Daoist?”

Chong Guang frowned slightly at these words.

But soon, he relaxed his expression and said frankly, “It has indeed not been easy for you, fellow Daoist.”

“The first four tribulations: 【Essence of All Flowers】 was your tribulation during Qi Refining. At that time, you were too young to suppress your desires, and being plotted against was inevitable.”

“【Sea of Sorrow】 was your tribulation during the early Foundation Establishment stage. With your path seeming hopeless, despair arose. That you could overcome it and regain your Dao heart was truly not simple.”

“【Crossing the Lost Ferry】 occurred when you sought 'Empty Verification', searching everywhere for other methods but to no avail. As a rogue cultivator without orthodox inheritance from a major sect, the resulting confusion stemmed from innate differences in foundation. You cannot be blamed; it can only be said that you were born lacking a certain destiny.”

“As for 【Song of Everlasting Regret】, it was your anger upon realizing the truth.”

At this point, Chong Guang summarized:

“Looking at your life, fellow Daoist, you have always been under the rule of True Lords, calculated against since Qi Refining, leaving no path to survival. To be honest, reaching today is already a stroke of luck.”

Upon hearing this, the Innate True Person laughed heartily: “A stroke of luck... a stroke of luck, hahaha!”

“What you said is very true!”

“If not for luck, how could I have reached the peak of Foundation Establishment? If not for luck, how could I have found that seed of the world and evolved 【No Heaven】?”

“It was all luck!”

The next moment, the Innate True Person's laughter abruptly ceased: “But even someone as fortunate as I am cannot become a True Lord. Do you think that's reasonable, fellow Daoist?”

“I know what the outside world says. Many True Lords have come to test me in 【No Heaven】, thinking I want to seize the bodies of cultivators entering 【No Heaven】, having them undergo tribulations on my behalf. In the end, the one who completes the five tribulations would be the 'Innate True Person', not themselves.”

At this point, the Innate True Person sneered coldly:

“But unfortunately, in this world, those True Lords are all selfish and self-serving. I have clearly told them, yet they refuse to consider it.”

“Hmm?”

Upon hearing this, Chong Guang narrowed his eyes, recalling previous conversations with the Innate True Person. Then, a light suddenly appeared in his eyes:

“Because you have no soul?”

The Innate True Person laughed upon hearing this and nodded: “Exactly!”

At this moment, he existed only as a consciousness within 【No Heaven】. The true soul of Mu Changsheng had long since reincarnated; he had mentioned this before.

To everyone who entered 【No Heaven】, he would say the same.

Yet no one noticed, no one discovered.

“Achieving the True Lord position requires the golden nature, which is refined from the soul! I don't even have a soul; what can I use to seek gold? How can I ascend?”

He had placed the answer right on the surface.

Yet no one noticed.

Or perhaps they noticed but didn't believe it. After all, if not for seeking gold or ascending, why would the Innate True Person go to such lengths?

Chong Guang's expression gradually became solemn: “So... what exactly are you seeking, fellow Daoist?”

“For a 'Restart'.”

The Innate True Person spoke calmly: “This 'Restart' is not for myself to restart, but for my reincarnated self to restart.”

Chong Guang raised an eyebrow: “Your soul has reincarnated; it has already restarted.”

The Innate True Person shook his head: “There are still the lords in the heavens, the gaze of the True Lords. Everything is illusory; what restart is there? It's just repeating the same mistakes!”

“In this regard, your understanding should be profound, fellow Daoist.”

At this point, the Innate True Person curled his lips in mockery: “With your talent, Dao heart, and comprehension, the position of True Lord should have been within your grasp.”

“But what was the result?”

“How difficult was it for you to seek gold? You're even considered fortunate, having encountered that madwoman Xue Feihong, which left you with a sliver of hope.”

As his words fell, Chong Guang was immediately reminded.

That was the day before he was abandoned, when Qingcheng Feixue True Lord decided to support Hong Yun's pursuit of gold instead. He was summoned before Qingcheng Feixue True Lord.

“You are of no use to me anymore; leave.”

At that time, Qingcheng Feixue True Lord's expression was calm, and her tone was unperturbed: “From now on, you must rely on yourself. Each according to their abilities; you should understand.”

“If you die, it only proves your incompetence.”

“If you achieve success, I will call you 'fellow Daoist' in the future.”

Thinking of this, Chong Guang couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, then affirmed the Innate True Person's words: “Indeed, being valued by a True Lord was my fortune.”

The Innate True Person sneered upon hearing this:

“But even so, you still find it hard to achieve the true result. It shows that one or two individuals cannot change the general trend. This world has nearly become a stagnant pool!”

Even so, what do you intend to do, fellow Daoist?

Facing Chong Guang's inquiry, the Innate True Person sat upright and solemnly said: “I wish to reverse this trend and overthrow the sky above all the True Lords!”

“Impossible!” Chong Guang shook his head.

“Of course, not for the long term.” The Innate True Person spoke solemnly: “But if only for a period, the current 【No Heaven】 is already sufficient.”

“.What?”

Seeing Chong Guang's surprised expression, the Innate True Person suddenly smiled: “Actually, 【No Heaven】 has a very special aspect, but no one has noticed.”

“Or perhaps they noticed but didn't care.”

“That is, 【No Heaven】 has no corresponding Dao foundation and cultivation method! Its foundation is entirely built upon other Foundation Establishment True Persons!”

“In other words, 【No Heaven】 itself does not cultivate Foundation Establishment True Persons to support it but instead plunders those who have cultivated other fruit positions, having them support itself. In this way, when 【No Heaven】 rises, other fruit positions will inevitably decline!”

Upon hearing this, Chong Guang was stunned.

He understood the Innate True Person's approach: that is, to use 【No Heaven】 to strip the Foundation Establishment under the world's True Lords, causing their fruit positions to fall!

Once successful, all the True Lords would be affected!

Because the lofty fruit positions also require the Foundation Establishment True Persons under them to support with their own Dao foundations. If there are too few Foundation Establishment True Persons, the fruit position will become hidden.

When the fruit position is hidden, it becomes difficult to verify.

And if there is still a True Lord in position on the hidden fruit position, then once the fruit position is hidden, even the True Lord will be constrained, making it difficult to interfere in the present world!

Even with the abilities of a True Lord, using their own cave heaven to re-support the fruit position to manifest is not something that can be done overnight.

And this period is the opportunity for all the True Lords!

A vast sea and sky, an opportunity for fish to leap!

However, correspondingly, the initiator of all this will inevitably be opposed by all the True Lords.

“Fellow Daoist, this is your fifth tribulation.”

“Its name is: 【Competing for Freedom】.” 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

As his words fell, the Innate True Person extended his hand, revealing a light sphere in his palm: “As long as you are willing, fellow Daoist, you can begin the tribulation now.”

“If you are afraid, it's not too late to leave now.”

“.”

Looking at the Innate True Person before him, Chong Guang rarely fell silent for a moment. Then he curled his lips, letting out a hearty laugh from between his teeth:

“Hahaha... good, good!”

“Mu Changsheng, what a Mu Changsheng!”

Before the laughter subsided, Chong Guang's expression turned resolute. He immediately grabbed the light sphere and refined it in an instant: “All beings compete for freedom under the frosty sky; what tribulation is there to speak of? This is precisely my opportunity to prove the Dao!”

Boom!

The next moment, heaven and earth underwent a drastic change.
