Chapter 90: Refining the Guardian Deity
Chapter 90: Refining the Guardian Deity
Primordial Sacred Sect, Heaven-Mending Peak.
The moment Xiao Shiye reeled in the radiant Karmic Fish and began refining it, Yushuzhen struck. Activating the Heavenly Opportunity Theft, she siphoned his gains in an instant. The colossal spiritual energy and karmic fortune of the fish—which could elevate an ordinary cultivator to Refining Qi Perfection overnight—were now hers to claim.
In a flash, Yushuzhen’s cultivation base skyrocketed!
The sudden surge left her momentarily stunned, but exhilaration quickly overtook her. Could this be her destined chance to ascend in one leap?
"Am I destined to rise to the heavens?"
Yet the next moment, a familiar sensation erupted from her dantian, spreading rapidly through her body.
The Heavenly Opportunity Theft again!?!
Her face paled as she felt her hard-won energy receding at an even faster pace. The bitter truth crashed over her—she’d spent months surpassing countless disciples, creating furnaces for others… only to realize she herself had become someone else’s furnace. When had this happened? Who had ensnared her without her knowledge?
Weakness flooded her limbs.
Joy turned to dread as her energy drained outward, her soul and cultivation base dissipating beyond the sect’s borders. Her face contorted in agony as she gasped, "Wait—!"
Before her plea faded, the suction redoubled.
Her energy plummeted. In seconds, her spiritual power, karmic fortune, and even her soul were ripped away.
Almost simultaneously, two rifts tore open within Yushuzhen’s cultivation cave. Two figures emerged—one following the other—and their eyes locked onto her lifeless body.
"Too late", Fortune Immortal intoned coldly, his frigid gaze betraying his fury. He turned sharply to the Heaven-Mending Peak Master. "Chen Taihe, do you truly dare challenge me?"
All knew Fortune Immortal’s wrath: anyone who dared steal his karmic fish would face annihilation. Even Chongguang, his fiercest rival, had never dared provoke him.
Yet Fortune Immortal never imagined the Heaven-Mending Peak Master—a mere acquaintance with whom he’d had minor disputes—would dare obscure karmic causality to commit such a brazen act.
"Friend Fortune, calm your temper", the Heaven-Mending Peak Master said evenly. "The culprit is the same junior who stole the Panlong Heritage’s karma earlier. Follow this trail—we might still recover the fish, though it’ll lose some potency. But if you insist on fighting me here and now, I’d gladly test your legendary prowess."
He had no intention of utterly provoking Fortune Immortal. He’d only sought to repay Chongguang’s favor by diminishing Fortune’s gains—not erasing them entirely. This way, their enmity would sour, but not erupt. With Chongguang looming as a greater threat, this was a manageable risk.
Confident in his plan, the Heaven-Mending Peak Master calculated the direction of the karmic trail, pinpointed Lv Yang’s location, and stepped into the void. Fortune Immortal hesitated, then followed.
Meanwhile, within the Wugui Secret Realm…
Lv Yang’s eyes snapped open as a streak of light pierced the realm. He glanced toward the Primordial Sacred Sect, his expression a mix of satisfaction and grim resolve.
"That old fox finally made his move!"
He exhaled sharply but remained composed. He’d anticipated the Heaven-Mending Peak Master and Fortune Immortal’s pursuit—it played perfectly into his hands.
He gazed at the Primordial Hunyuan Talisman in his arms, the treasure that had obscured his karmic trail. With a flick of his wrist, he cast it into the Wugui Secret Realm, severing its protection.
"No need to hide my karma now. But the realm’s karmic trail must stay veiled. If Heaven-Mending arrives and mistakes this for the Wugui Secret Realm, triggering its defenses will teach him a harsh lesson."
A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.
"Though the Holy Sect’s power dwarfs Wugui’s, and Heaven-Mending wields treasures capable of saving a Golden Core cultivator… a Golden Core Sword Qi will still wound him. And if I complete my Foundation Guardian Deity, I’ll crush him like a dog—avenging the humiliation of being pinned beneath his finger across lifetimes."
No time to waste.
"Begin refining the guardian deity!"
Activating Heavenly Opportunity Theft, he dispersed the radiant light in his hands, revealing Yushuzhen’s dazed soul and the fish’s vast energy.
He unfurled the Ten-Thousand Spirit Banner. A surge of dark light erupted as countless soulbound wraiths roared. Among them were the eight crimson-robed ghosts required for the [Xuan Ming Fu Jun She You Wei] technique. As the banner swayed, the Yanmo Hall—a hall once conjured by Yanluo Patriarch—materialized anew.
"Grand Multiform Divine Convergence Method!"
With a seal, Lv Yang channeled his spiritual awareness into a colossal hand, seizing Yushuzhen’s soul and crushing it into a radiant orb.
"Ahh—!"
Her scream faded as her essence was reborn—a new soul identical to her former self, yet utterly reshaped by Lv Yang’s will. Her hollow eyes fixed on him, empty and obedient.
Soon, her form solidified. The naked silhouette draped itself in flowing white robes like blooming lotus petals, her delicate feet hovering midair.
The guardian deity was nearly complete.
Yet Lv Yang hesitated. He intended to grant her Foundation-Building-level power, but what if she rebelled? Such risks demanded precautions.
He shook the banner, drawing the deity back into its void. Layering three tiers of self-destructive seals onto her soul, he ensured her annihilation at the first hint of defiance.
Moments later, he activated the final seal. Her eyes ignited with awareness, her consciousness reigniting like a spark to dry tinder.
She knelt, her forehead pressed to the ground, her voice clear and submissive: "This servant greets her master."
Lv Yang nodded, satisfied. "You are reborn. From this day forth, you are Su Nu."
With the Ten-Thousand Spirit Banner and her death seals binding her fate to his will, betrayal was impossible.
"Return to your seat."
At his command, Su Nu ascended gracefully into the Yanmo Hall, settling into its throne. Lv Yang then funneled the Karmic Fish’s energy into the hall.
The energy roared like fire, forging the fragmented Yanmo Hall into a unified whole.
Then—
Boom!
A thunderous explosion echoed. Lv Yang’s head snapped up. Beyond the Wugui Secret Realm, above Skull Mountain, a spatial rift tore open.
The Heaven-Mending Peak Master and Fortune Immortal strode through.
The enemy had arrived.
