Struggling to Survive with Regression Power in the Primordial Saint Sect-Chapter 360 : The Patriarch’s Rebirth, the Clone Establishes Foundation!

Chapter 360: The Patriarch's Rebirth, the Clone Establishes Foundation!

In the northern region of Jiangbei, nestled within a secluded mountain forest.

After intercepting at Skeleton Mountain, Lü Yang swiftly fled to this location. Utilizing the 【Tribulation Wave】, he cleansed karmic ties and established a cave dwelling within the mountains.

Subsequently, he commenced the refinement of an immortal embryo.

Although the quality of the 【Divine Martial Binding Flood Axe】 could not compare to the 【Abi Sword】, it was still a superior spiritual treasure, more than sufficient to serve as an immortal embryo.

Moreover, Patriarch Ting You had made some improvements to this secret method.

By lowering the refinement requirements and enhancing efficiency, the final formed immortal embryo and Lü Yang's clone were not significantly different.

Soon, another three years passed.

Within the cave dwelling, under the burning of the Six Ding Divine Fire, the immortal embryo belonging to Patriarch Ting You had taken shape, appearing as a valiant and spirited young man.

"Please, Patriarch, enter the shell!"

Lü Yang formed a hand seal, summoning the Myriad Spirits Banner. The light and shadow of Patriarch Ting You manifested within it, his expression complex, evidently not expecting to have such a day.

In the next moment, as innate qi dispersed, Patriarch Ting You's soul emerged, and with a flash, it entered the immortal embryo below. Before long, the immortal embryo opened its eyes, its aura changing, yet only reaching the peak of Qi Refining, clearly requiring time to establish the foundation.

Fortunately, having looted the Divine Martial Sect, he was not lacking in foundation-establishing spiritual items.

'However, this doesn't really count as robbery.' 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

'After all, the Divine Martial Sect was a righteous sect. Now that it has been annihilated, if its resources were to fall into the hands of the Demon Sect, wouldn't that be equivalent to aiding the enemy?'

'Therefore, taking away all the treasures of the Divine Martial Sect was a necessary move.'

'Only in this way could the Divine Martial Sect preserve its final dignity. I believe the true spirits of the Divine Martial Sect in heaven would surely approve of my actions.'

—He was increasingly embodying the demeanor of the Sword Pavilion.

Lü Yang had always believed in lifelong learning and dedication to one's craft. Now that he had become a disciple of the Sword Pavilion, he naturally needed to integrate wholeheartedly into it.

Otherwise, what if someone noticed a flaw?

Once Patriarch Ting You entered meditation, Lü Yang sealed the cave dwelling. He then took out a mysterious pearl from his bosom, within which was a scene of endless frost and snow.

At the center of the frost and snow, Arhat Fulong sat hugging his knees, his entire body trembling.

"Senior! Senior!"

Before Lü Yang could finish speaking, Arhat Fulong's voice impatiently rang out: "This humble monk has thought it through! I beseech you, senior, to withdraw your divine power!"

'Thought it through? What a pity.'

Lü Yang's expression remained indifferent, ignoring Arhat Fulong's plea. Instead, he crushed the mysterious pearl imprisoning Arhat Fulong with a single hand!

"Crack!"

In an instant, the splendid illusion shattered, and Arhat Fulong's voice was instantly drowned in the severe frost. In the blink of an eye, his dharma body and soul dissipated.

'If possible, it would have been best to follow his path. However, that so-called Buddhist son Guang Ming... just hearing the name sounds ominous! It's best not to get involved; the risk is too great. It's better to have Hong Ju make a trip to the 【Su Heng Palace】; there's still hope of obtaining 【Xin Metal】.'

Lü Yang remained rational.

To date, among the four major powers, only the Pure Land truly made him wary. Therefore, if he could avoid entanglement, it was best to do so. As long as he didn't act, he wouldn't make mistakes!

"Speaking of which, harvesting the Divine Martial Sect's fortune this time was just right!"

Lü Yang calculated with his fingers, then revealed a look of joy.

"【Fortune Divination Drawing】, draw for me!"

A surge of immense fortune emerged, soon transforming into lines of text before Lü Yang:

【Event: Clone breaks through to Foundation Establishment.】

【Minor Auspicious: Foundation Establishment poses no difficulty for you. Although there are some minor setbacks, you still successfully break through.】

【Minor Inauspicious: Someone secretly schemes against you, causing your breakthrough to fail, leading to your demise once more.】

【Slight Auspicious: You fall victim to someone's scheme, but relying on perseverance and a bit of luck, you manage to endure and finally establish your Dao foundation.】

'...Someone scheming?'

Looking at the fortune drawn this time, Lü Yang suddenly frowned: "Strange, I've always been amicable in the Sword Pavilion; why would someone scheme against me?"

Fortunately, the Divine Martial Sect's fortune was abundant, allowing him to draw a 【Minor Auspicious】.

In the next moment, Lü Yang grasped the 【Minor Auspicious】 fortune in his hand, then activated the 【Puppet Strings】, gazing remotely in the direction of his clone.

In the southern region of Jiangnan, within the Jade Pivot Sword Pavilion, at the Extreme Heaven Cliff.

"Clang clang!"

With a resounding sword cry echoing through the clouds, many Sword Pavilion True Persons in seclusion were awakened, then looked towards the source of the sword cry.

"Is that... a newly promoted sword seed?"

"Already established the foundation?"

"Such a swift return to Foundation Establishment after incense offerings at the Reception Hall, even if it's a reincarnated Foundation Establishment, indicates a profound past foundation."

Such commotion naturally also alarmed Daoist Dangmo, causing a trace of joy to flash in his eyes, which soon turned into helplessness. The joy was naturally due to Lü Yang's return to Foundation Establishment, while the helplessness stemmed from his cultivation of the 『Sword Sovereign's Profound Gold Secret Chapter』, rendering his path hopeless.

'Unless... I can achieve...'

At this thought, a hint of struggle appeared in Daoist Dangmo's eyes. He opened his storage bag and looked at the densely packed human heads within.

They were all still alive.

However, the sword is an instrument of killing; to prove the sword path, how could there be no killing?

"..."

Daoist Dangmo lowered his eyelids, his gaze fixed on the countless seemingly living heads within the storage bag, appearing rather eerie and strange for a moment.

Meanwhile, within the cave dwelling.

Lü Yang sat cross-legged, his gaze falling on a piece of jade stone before him, his expression slightly gloomy. This was a foundation-establishing spiritual item provided by Daoist Dangmo.

By resonating with it during Foundation Establishment, it could increase the success rate by ten percent.

However, in reality, this spiritual item not only failed to assist in Foundation Establishment but actually hindered him. Without the fortune's blessing, there might have been a real possibility of failure!

'Who exactly wants to harm me?'

Lü Yang pondered in his heart, simultaneously extending a finger, around which a strand of sword qi coiled. With a flick, it erupted with a thunderous roar.

First realm of the sword path, Sword Qi Thunder Sound!

"This level of sword qi isn't much, at most equivalent to a powerful Foundation Establishment technique. But if I go further, it's a different story..."

Second realm of the sword path, Sword Heart Clarity!

This realm corresponds to Foundation Establishment. Therefore, once Sword Heart Clarity is achieved, compared to other Foundation Establishment True Persons, it's equivalent to having an additional divine ability without a rank!

At this thought, Lü Yang suddenly clapped his hands.

Beside him, a square sword box floated in the air, about half his height, entirely black-gold, appearing simple and steady at first glance.

However, in the next moment.

As Lü Yang channeled his full mana, the sword box opened with a roar, and two brilliant sword lights surged out, instantly merging with him.

'【Sword Divine Ability】!'

As expected, with his achievement of Foundation Establishment, the two Taixu divine abilities previously obtained from 【Wu You Heaven】 were all transformed into sword divine abilities by the sword box.

'It's a pity that after Uncle Master Chong Guang left, 【Wu You Heaven】 was sealed both internally and externally, making it impossible to enter and obtain more Taixu divine abilities.'

That said, this was a regret only Lü Yang had.

After all, others' Taixu divine abilities lacked ranks.

Only he could use the nascent rank within the Myriad Spirits Banner to bestow ranks, thereby transforming them into sword divine abilities; otherwise, it would all be in vain.

'In any case, I've succeeded.'

With a thought, Lü Yang manifested two sword divine abilities one after another, plus the transformed innate divine ability corresponding to the 【Chang Heng Observing World Holding Gold Sword Foundation】.

'Three divine abilities! Mid-stage Foundation Establishment, complete!'

'If I add 【Holding the Law】, I would be a bona fide late-stage Foundation Establishment great sword cultivator! Looking at it this way, the clone now even surpasses the main body!'
