Chapter 152: Lv Yang Isn't All Bad
As the Subduing Dragon Arhat perished, a wisp of his soul began reincarnating, while his shattered golden body left behind a radiant, golden pill.
The next moment, the pill attempted to vanish into the sky.
"Hmm? Trying to escape?"
Lv Yang acted swiftly, his large hand snatching the golden pill mid-air. "This... is a Sarira? My compliments to the Arhat for being so considerate!"
Recognizing the relic unique to Buddhist cultivators, Lv Yang's eyes gleamed with excitement. This Foundation Building Marvel could either aid in forming a Foundation or forge powerful artifacts. His Aetherophagous Beetle had recently hit a cultivation bottleneck—this would make a perfect snack.
Without hesitation, he pocketed the Sarira.
After searching the area and finding nothing else of value, he lit the cultivation cave ablaze and departed.
At the Heaven-Mending Peak above the Sky-Connecting Sea of Clouds, its master gazed into the distance. "The Coiling Dragon is truly gone. Lv Yang took the Sarira." A trace of regret flickered in his eyes before shifting his gaze toward Luofeng Mountain, his expression hardening.
In just fifty years, Lv Yang's name had spread through the Holy Sect like wildfire. Most disciples saw him as a rare "immortal turtle" who'd stubbornly waited in the sect for half a century just to outlive an enemy. Even some True Men looked down on him.
Only the Heaven-Mending Peak Master truly understood the danger. He knew Lv Yang had narrowly escaped death. While others believed Lv Yang could simply flee the Holy Sect to evade the Subduing Dragon Arhat, he realized the Arhat's hatred ran bone-deep—he'd prepared numerous countermeasures specifically to eliminate Lv Yang.
If Lv Yang had been careless enough to leave alone...
Even survival would have cost him centuries to recover from catastrophic injuries. Compared to that, fifty years was nothing.
"This young man must never be antagonized!"
Sighing, the Peak Master found solace in his two covert attacks having gone unnoticed. As for the Stormshelter Pills—losing three pained him deeply, especially since Lv Yang's presence had prevented claiming Fulong's Golden Body Relic after his demise. At least the dual cultivation with Chen Shuqian had succeeded, allowing her to master the Six Realms Phoenix Nirvana Art. His son Chen Xin'an's progress also pleased him.
"If only one Foundation Builder could've sufficed before... Now, with my Karmic Merit and Fortune depleted, even that might not be enough."
The Skull Mountain debacle left him doubly defeated—empty-handed and disgraced. Worse still, the Sarira falling to Lv Yang meant he'd have to buy it back at great cost to help his children breakthrough. Having already paid three times for the same item?
Unbearable losses.
He exhaled sharply, suppressing his bitterness. "No matter. If it helps me breakthrough to Foundation Building's late stage, everything will be worth it."
With that, he soared toward Luofeng Mountain.
When he arrived, Lv Yang already waited at the mountain peak, his face split into a welcoming smile. "Senior Disciple Chen graces us with his presence. Please, come in."
"Of course! Of course!"
The two entered the hall together. Without preamble, the Heaven-Mending Peak Master asked:
"Did you kill the Subduing Dragon?"
"Indeed."
Lv Yang confirmed, producing the golden pill that immediately made the Peak Master's eyes narrow greedily.
"I seek this item in trade", the Peak Master continued, his voice softening. "My son Xin'an approaches Foundation Building breakthrough. A father must support his child."
Lv Yang's expression turned skeptical.
"You want the Sarira for your son? Then what would you offer in return?"
The Peak Master inwardly cursed but revealed his trump card—a jade scroll containing a secret technique.
"This allows transferring cultivation tribulations through bloodline bonds. With it, I could let my children bear the tribulations while I reap the benefits."
Lv Yang's divine consciousness scanned the scroll, understanding its true purpose instantly.
"So you plan to use Chen Shuqian and Chen Xin'an to shoulder your Foundation Building tribulations?"
"Exactly." The Peak Master smiled thinly. "Family bonds make them perfect vessels."
Lv Yang chuckled.
"About Chen Xin'an..." His voice turned ominous. "The real one is already dead. What walks now is just a puppet wearing his karma."
The Peak Master froze.
"If I strip away the real Chen Xin'an's karma link while you're transferring tribulations..." Lv Yang leaned forward, his smile turning razor-sharp. "What do you suppose would happen?"
The Peak Master's face paled, but Lv Yang suddenly pushed the Sarira forward with a warm smile. "For family's sake, how could I refuse?"
Stunned at the easy victory, the Peak Master hastily bowed. "Then I'll take my leave. Thank you, Brother Lv."
Watching him depart, Lv Yang's smile deepened.
"Indeed, I'm not all bad... but neither are you, Senior Chen."
