Chapter 105: Third Return to the Wugui Secret Realm
Chapter 105: Third Return to the Wugui Secret Realm
Though determined to show off in the newbie village, Lv Yang still wanted to prepare thoroughly. Before leaving, he needed to accomplish three key objectives.
"First, securing the True Transmission status from the Holy Sect—this should be straightforward."
"If I simply replicate my past life's approach, progressing methodically while displaying my Refining Qi Perfection cultivation and mastering a Supreme Divine Ability, I should qualify."
"Second, the Skull Mountain ley line."
"Although I inherited the Yanmo Hall after reincarnating with the Ten-Thousand Spirit Banner, I’ve lost the Skull Mountain ley line’s enhancement."
"This needs fixing."
"Without the Skull Mountain ley line’s support, Su Nu’s current state means the Yanmo Hall’s power is less than half of its former peak."
"Lastly, the Yun Clan Patriarch."
"The Heaven’s Mechanism Treasure in his possession is invaluable to me. It might help me foresee karmic causality and eliminate potential variables."
These three objectives—first securing status, second ensuring combat strength, third preventing unforeseen threats—combined with Zhao Xuhe as a human shield, formed four layers of security. Lv Yang was confident this would neutralize the Subduing Dragon Arhat.
In truth, his ambitions went further.
The Subduing Dragon Arhat was a mid-stage Foundation Builder. Even if Lv Yang broke through, being hunted by such a powerful foe would remain a grave danger. If possible, he wouldn’t mind luring the Arhat in and ambushing him outright.
Only by eliminating him could he achieve lasting peace.
Lv Yang silently resolved his goals. The world was vast and perilous—only by attaining the True Man Position could he truly command the realms.
With his objectives set, the rest was routine. He merely needed to retrace his past life’s steps, requiring minimal effort.
He cultivated the Soul-Stealing Yin Puppet, earning hundreds of thousands of Contribution Points, then announced a retreat for cultivation.
Lv Yang had no urgency. Time passed like this for a decade.
Over these ten years, he gradually restored his past-life Supreme Divine Abilities, his qi refined to perfection, once again reaching the peak of pre-Foundation Building strength.
A decade later, he emerged from seclusion, having successfully broken through to the late stage of Refining Qi.
Soon after, everything unfolded naturally. Fairy Feixia, representing the Three Rivers Association, came to recruit him, and he accepted without hesitation, even acquiring another Supreme Divine Ability for free.
This time, he chose the Twelve Heavens’ Divine Malevolence Secret Demon Calamity Light.
As the name implied, this Supreme Divine Ability differed sharply from techniques like Corpse Liberation or the Silkworm Secret. Rather than boosting Foundation Building success rates, it specialized in combat.
"To master this ability, one must forge a treasure, lifting it beyond the thirty-sixth layer of heavenly Gang winds to absorb endless malevolent energies from beyond the heavens. Over time, these are condensed into a calamitous beam. When unleashed, it descends from the heavens, annihilating all life in its path! However, merely lifting a treasure to the thirty-sixth heavenly layer is nearly impossible for a Refining Qi cultivator, let alone maintaining it there."
"The longer it’s stored, the greater its power!"
"However, merely lifting a treasure to the thirty-sixth heavenly layer is nearly impossible for a Refining Qi cultivator, let alone maintaining it there."
Of course, this was trivial for Lv Yang.
"Time to push Su Nu a bit harder."
Lv Yang summoned Su Nu, handing her the Blood Sun Sword Core, instructing her to cultivate the technique within the thirty-sixth layer of heavenly winds.
"With this Supreme Divine Ability, I’ll have another ace up my sleeve for future battles."
"Once fully prepared, my chances of breaking through to Foundation Building could reach ninety percent. The final ten percent can be secured through the upcoming Orthodox vs. Devilish War."
A Perfect Foundation Building!
Though he hadn’t initially sought this achievement, this life demanded absolute certainty.
A Perfect Foundation Building breakthrough would place him at the peak of early Foundation Building!
Only then could he truly claim self-sufficiency.
A month later, following protocol, Lv Yang accepted Fairy Feixia’s invitation to oversee the Skull Mountain Bazaar alongside her, Zhao Xuhe, and Lu Yuanchun.
However, this life’s events diverged from the past due to Zhao Xuhe’s altered fate.
In his previous life, Zhao Xuhe, having lost the Coiling Dragon opportunity, had been destitute, relying on his Heavenly Opportunity Theft technique for a final gamble at the Skull Mountain Bazaar.
This life, however, Zhao Xuhe thrived as the reincarnation of the Coiling Dragon Cultivator. His progress was astonishing, accelerated by Lv Yang’s covert support, reaching Refining Qi Perfection within a decade and standing at the threshold of Foundation Building.
This suited Lv Yang perfectly.
After all, the True Man Yinshan required a Holy Sect disciple to open the Secret Realm—a role Lv Yang had no intention of fulfilling. Zhao Xuhe would serve as the perfect substitute.
North Jiang, Skull Mountain.
"I’m back again."
Slipping away from the crowd, Lv Yang quickly reached the Wugui Secret Realm’s entrance, preparing to reattach the Yanmo Hall to the Skull Mountain ley line.
Yet the moment he activated the Yanmo Hall to connect with the ley line, he froze.
"The Skull Mountain ley line already has an owner!?"
As his consciousness extended, he found a towering palace already anchored at the ley line’s core—
Another Yanmo Hall!
"This… is the Yanluo Patriarch!?" Lv Yang’s brows furrowed. Memories of past lives surged, and realization dawned on his face.
In his previous life, news of the Wugui Secret Realm had first spread from the Divine Martial Gate, discovered by its disciples. At the time, he hadn’t noticed the implications.
But now, reflecting—if he hadn’t intervened, wouldn’t the nearly dying Yanluo Patriarch have noticed a group of Divine Martial Gate disciples entering the Secret Realm? Would he have simply stood by? Especially considering the Soul Possession technique’s cost: annihilating everyone within the Wugui Secret Realm.
And in his previous life, the Wugui Secret Realm had been empty!
In a flash, Lv Yang deduced the truth: "At this point in time, the Yanluo Patriarch has likely already possessed a Divine Martial Gate disciple, living his fifth life!"
In that case, the previous life’s Yanluo Patriarch had won.
Because in the end, the True Man Yinshan had resolved the Golden Core Sword Qi and reincarnated the Wugui Secret Realm, only to take away a single strand of Celestial Corpse Miasma.
The ley line remained!
In pursuing his Dao, the True Man Yinshan had lured away the Celestial Corpse Miasma, unaware he’d become the Yanluo Patriarch’s bait, exploited to remove that Golden Core Sword Qi!
"Incredible!"
If the Yanluo Patriarch truly lived, his schemes had succeeded! It was only due to Lv Yang’s interference in the previous life that his plans had unraveled.
Realizing this, even Lv Yang couldn’t help but marvel.
Without his interference, the Yanluo Patriarch would have achieved the miracle of escaping a Golden Core Sovereign’s grasp with only Foundation Building cultivation over a thousand years!
Suddenly, a consciousness surged from the ley line’s core:
"Who are you!?"
The voice brimmed with shock, confusion, and bewilderment—undoubtedly the Yanluo Patriarch. Lv Yang instantly seized the moment.
He was currently channeling the Yanmo Hall to connect with the ley line!
The Yanmo Hall was the Yanluo Patriarch’s ultimate secret technique, an esoteric art he believed exclusive to himself.
How could there be another!
Realizing this, Lv Yang’s expression shifted to one of overwhelming joy and stunned shock, with even a hint of tears:
"Yanluo Patriarch, is that truly you!?"
"You’re actually still alive!?"
"Heaven above, the Wugui Sect is truly not doomed to extinction!"
Without hesitation, Lv Yang kowtowed deeply, declaring: "Lv Yang, disciple of the 376th generation of the Wugui Sect, pays homage to my ancestral master!"
Yanluo Patriarch: ".!?"
