Chapter 359: Do You Wish to Truly Live?
Chapter 359: Do You Wish to Truly Live?
Rumble!
With an earth-shaking roar, the colossal Wugui Secret Realm materialized within the mountainous core of Skull Mountain, unleashing boundless yin slaughter aura.
What followed unfolded precisely as Lv Yang had predicted.
True Man Yinshan made his move to seize the Celestial Corpse Miasma of the Wugui Sect. This act lured numerous True Men from the Divine Martial Gate, culminating in a coordinated assault led by the Holy Sect’s True Man.
"Beasts! You wretched beasts!"
The heavens echoed with the Divine Martial Gate’s sect leader’s furious roar. Yet this Foundation Building Late-Stage Great True Sovereign now found himself shrouded beneath a suffocating nightmarish veil.
A far greater surge of power blotted out all light.
Radiant torrents eclipsed sun, moon, and stars, leaving a deathly silence in their wake. Heavenly laws collapsed into obscurity—a divine ability Lv Yang recognized instantly.
‘Star Veil!’
In his previous life, Lv Yang had studied this ability, though he’d always treated it as an assassination tool. Now, he saw his past self’s naivety. Deployed for covert kills, it was a waste of its true potential. This technique was meant to blot out the skies, a grand and overwhelming force!
In an instant, the world plunged into chaotic darkness.
‘Foundation Building Perfection!’
Lv Yang’s eyes narrowed. From Hong Ju, he’d learned that after the True Monarchs withdrew, the Holy Sect had two Foundation Building Perfection experts besides himself. The other was Xiangye.
Xiangye had remained hidden until now because the Chenguang Flotsam Heaven True Monarch, under whom he served, had long been overshadowed by the formidable True Monarch Qingcheng Feixue. Now, with the True Monarchs in seclusion, Chongguang had ascended to True Monarch and left the mortal realm. The Great True Sovereign Jun Tong, who served under True Monarch Zengcai Qiluo, was merely Foundation Building Late-Stage. Thus, Xiangye emerged.
‘He’s training his forces.’
Lv Yang observed from afar, his spiritual eye revealing the shifting tides. Xiangye, the Foundation Building Perfection Great True Sovereign, held back, deploying his divine ability to seal heaven and earth while lesser True Men swarmed the foe.
No wonder the Divine Martial Gate’s sect leader felt cornered.
As a Great True Sovereign—even if his heritage was weak—he shouldn’t be overwhelmed by mid-stage Foundation Building cultivators. Yet with a Foundation Building Perfection expert suppressing him, resistance was futile.
‘No hope. He’s done for.’
Lv Yang averted his gaze. The Divine Martial Gate’s demise was inevitable, their fate diverging sharply from his past life. This time, the Holy Sect meant business.
‘Last time, True Monarchs guarded the sect, and Senior Master Chongguang ensured stability. They even let a few Early Foundation Building survivors escape to grant me merit. But now, with the True Monarchs secluded and the Divine Martial Gate boasting a Great True Sovereign, the Holy Sect sees them as a genuine threat.’
‘A threat to be erased completely.’
Naturally, Lv Yang had no intention of joining this battle. Concealing his spiritual presence, he slipped into Skull Mountain and summoned Su Nu.
“Yanmo Hall!”
Leyline connections surged as he scoured the land. Soon, he detected anomalies within the 800-mile leyline network of Skull Mountain. In a flash, he vanished toward the source.
Almost simultaneously, deep within Skull Mountain:
“Who’s there!?”
As Lv Yang arrived, a figure within the leyline network snapped open its eyes, its spiritual presence wavering at the false-Foundation Building stage.
The next moment, it sought to sever the connection.
But the gap in cultivation was insurmountable. Lv Yang, at mid-stage Foundation Building Perfection, countered the fake-Foundation Building cultivator with effortless dominance.
Yet the figure moved with lethal speed. Sensing Lv Yang’s arrival, it resolved to destroy itself and take him down. Hands flashing through seals, it triggered a violent eruption across the entire 800-mile leyline.
“Seal!”
From behind Lv Yang, the Ten-Thousand Spirit Banner unfurled, revealing the Yanluo Patriarch. He mirrored the figure’s seals, instantly quelling the leyline’s chaotic surge.
The figure froze in disbelief.
“How can you—”
Lv Yang silenced it with a palm strike, reducing it to dust before ensnaring it within the Ten-Thousand Spirit Banner for swift annihilation.
For him, this was merely an unknown adversary.
The true Yanluo Patriarch resided within the Ten-Thousand Spirit Banner—a being who had reincarnated alongside him, shielding him from enemies in his past life before retreating into wounded slumber.
Inside the Banner, the Yanluo Patriarch inhaled deeply, absorbing the foe’s primordial qi. His once-dim eyes now gleamed with crystalline clarity, intricate runes swirling within them as though embodying cosmic truths.
After a long exhale, he spoke.
“I had a fragmented soul lingering in the Wugui Secret Realm. Thanks to you, I’ve reclaimed it. My strength feels… restored.”
Lv Yang wasn’t surprised.
The Ten Thousand Lives Scroll corrected all inconsistencies, allowing the Yanluo Patriarch to rationalize gaps in his existence.
‘An opportunity.’
Observing Yanluo’s revitalized form, Lv Yang noted the improvement. With his original body’s essence replenishing, the Patriarch’s frailty faded.
Recalling their first encounter—when Yanluo, a Foundation Building Perfection Great True Sovereign, had nearly perished fighting even a Refining Qi Perfection Lv Yang—it was a stark contrast.
In his past life, when practicing Yanmo Hall in the Overseas Dominion, he’d dared only mimic mid-stage Foundation Building power, never the Great True Sovereign rank. Not due to a lack of mid-stage practitioners to draw from, but because Yanluo’s soul could no longer sustain the Great True Sovereign’s status.
But this life was different.
‘Now, Ancestral Master has the depth to emulate a Great True Sovereign. Strictly speaking, his fifth reincarnation has just begun.’
Time to seize the world!
After a pause, Lv Yang produced a cultivation manual from his divine consciousness—The Immortal Embryo World-Abiding Manual, a profound technique for creating avatars.
This method could even birth entirely new beings.
But it had another use.
‘If I forge an immortal embryo and let Ancestral Master inhabit it… technically, he could revive.’
Yanluo Patriarch had the conditions for resurrection. Unlike others, he’d entered the banner alive, preserving a thread of life.
The question was whether Lv Yang would allow it.
‘In my past life, I’d never risk it. His talent was too great—reviving him meant losing control. But this life…’
This time, Yanluo Patriarch had proven his loyalty. More importantly, the Ten Thousand Lives Scroll had rewritten his essence, rendering betrayal impossible.
Lv Yang didn’t deny his own calculating nature. Without such instincts, he’d have died a hundred times over.
But with his decision made, he saw no reason to hold back.
‘Ancestral Master’s talent deserves better than being wasted on me. Turning him into a weapon could secure my future ambitions!’
Resolve hardened, Lv Yang turned to the Yanluo Patriarch, extending the manual.
“Ancestral Master.”
