Chapter 94: Making Amends
Chapter 94: Making Amends
“I apologize, Senior,” Lv Yang replied, shaking his head. “I’m not a disciple of the Holy Sect. I’m merely a wandering cultivator who got lucky and inherited the ancient Wugui Sect’s legacy.”
“Is that so?” Chongguang frowned, his previously amiable expression shifting.
Before the tension could settle, Lv Yang added smoothly, “However, I’d gladly join the Holy Sect. I’m willing to share the Wugui Sect’s inheritance as a token of goodwill.”
Chongguang’s face brightened instantly. “Haha, Fellow Cultivator, no need to be so formal! Many cultivators seek to shed their past karmic ties after reincarnation. Your decision to start fresh here is perfectly understandable.” He gestured warmly. “Welcome to the Holy Sect! Where would you like to serve?”
“Northern Borderlands,” Lv Yang said without hesitation. “I’ll guard Skull Mountain, hold the line against the Divine Martial Gate, and return to the sect once the task is done.”
“Excellent!” Chongguang nodded approvingly. To him, Lv Yang’s true origins mattered little—what counted was his value. A cultivator willing to defend the sect’s frontiers was worth a thousand words of loyalty.
Meanwhile, Lv Yang exhaled inwardly. He knew his reincarnated identity wouldn’t fool the Holy Sect’s elders forever. If a Golden Core Sovereign ever scrutinized him, his charade would collapse. For now, though, this arrangement suited everyone.
As if on cue, the space beside Chongguang split open, revealing Yinshan, the True Man in black robes.
“Yinshan?” Chongguang raised an eyebrow. “What brings you here?”
Yinshan bowed to Lv Yang. “Esteemed Fellow, I humbly request a favor. This Skull Mountain, once refined by the Wugui Sect, harbors a unique earth vein connected to their secret realm. After millennia of nurturing, it should have birthed a Heavenly Corpse Miasma—a Zhi Xu-classified terrestrial aura vital to my cultivation. Might I ask for your permission to claim it?”
Chongguang’s expression shifted slightly, but Lv Yang, sensing the murky, yin-charged energy deep beneath the mountain, quickly grasped the situation. This was the very treasure Yinshan had schemed for in his past life.
“A simple matter,” Lv Yang said. “I’ll gift it to you. But extracting it will take about thirty years—it’s deeply rooted.”
“Time means little to a Foundation-Stage cultivator,” Yinshan replied, relieved.
Chongguang beamed. “Your generosity honors us. Rest assured, the Heaven-Mending Peak Master’s matter will be resolved.”
Lv Yang nodded gratefully. While he had no immediate fear of the Heaven-Mending Peak Master’s wrath, accepting Chongguang’s favor was wise.
Later, as the three parted ways, Lv Yang returned to Skull Mountain Bazaar. Spotting Fairy Feixia among the crowd—her icy demeanor unchanged—he dismissed the gathering and retreated to his meditation chamber.
Summoning Su Nu, his guardian deity, he transferred the Wugui Sect’s inheritance and Yanluo Patriarch’s remnants into her. Instantly, the karmic burden shifted from his shoulders.
“The Holy Sect’s karmic ties aren’t as perilous as I feared,” he mused. “Without Yanluo Patriarch’s shadow looming, even the Sword Pavilion’s True Monarch won’t bother with a minor like me.”
If the Sword Pavilion’s karmic blade ever targeted him, he had a plan: the Ten Thousand Lives Scroll. Reincarnation would sever all traces of his current life, shielding his future self.
“First, I’ll test if the Ten-Thousand Spirit Banner can absorb the Wugui Sect’s soulbound wraiths,” he decided. “If not, I’ll simply retreat into the Holy Sect’s Sky-Connecting Sea of Clouds. Not even a sword’s vengeance could reach me there.”
