Struggling to Survive with Regression Power in the Primordial Saint Sect-Chapter 310 : Who the Hell Can Stop Me?
Chapter 310: Who the Hell Can Stop Me?
“Master? Master, please wake up.”
A voice echoed near his ears. Lü Yang opened his eyes, only to be greeted by the sight of a woman in a red dress, her beauty unparalleled, with a vermilion mark between her brows.
Looking around, he saw beaded curtains and embroidered drapes, intricately carved beams and painted eaves. Light shimmered through vermilion doors onto golden floors; snow reflected off jade windows, creating a palace of pure white. A fragrant aroma filled the air, intoxicating Lü Yang's senses.
However, in the next moment, unfamiliar memories surfaced in his mind:
"A Precelestial True Person at the peak of Qi Refining secluded himself to break through to Foundation Establishment, only to be betrayed by the Holy Sect. They discovered his secluded location and destroyed his Qi foundation."
"As a result, he had to establish his foundation with fourth-grade Qi, severing his path to ascension."
"The Precelestial True Person sought emptiness and verification, partly because it benefited heaven and earth, but perhaps also because he had lost hope in the righteous path."
"This was the first tribulation!"
Lü Yang snapped back to reality and looked around. His current situation mirrored that of the Precelestial True Person, including the information he possessed.
'What a formidable \[Heaven of Nonexistence].'
Lü Yang was shaken. If he weren't controlling a puppet clone via \[Puppet Strings], he might not have discerned the illusions of \[Heaven of Nonexistence].
Everything he saw, heard, and smelled—even his own body—felt incredibly real. His cultivation was no longer at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment but at the peak of Qi Refining. Clearly, \[Heaven of Nonexistence] required him to resolve the situation as the Precelestial True Person.
Any methods beyond this identity were prohibited.
'Given time, \[Heaven of Nonexistence] will undoubtedly expand, becoming a coveted realm for all cultivators, beyond even the reach of True Lords!'
Lü Yang instantly realized the terror of \[Heaven of Nonexistence].
This was the first tribulation, so he could only replace the Precelestial True Person at the peak of Qi Refining. But as time passed, the Precelestial True Person would progress!
'Once the Precelestial True Person's cultivation surpasses that of the tribulation breaker, the latter can experience higher realms of cultivation in advance!'
More importantly, seeking gold!
'The Precelestial True Person eventually sought gold. If this is also a tribulation, it offers Foundation Establishment True Persons a simulated opportunity to seek gold!'
This alone was enough to attract all Foundation Establishment True Persons.
Moreover, according to the Precelestial True Person, each tribulation overcome in \[Heaven of Nonexistence] granted a corresponding divine ability—a tremendous temptation.
Furthermore, \[Heaven of Nonexistence] was devoid of death.
'\[Heaven of Nonexistence] is an illusory realm; physical bodies cannot enter, nor can souls or divine thoughts. Only consciousness can enter.'
Therefore, even if a cultivator failed the tribulation and died within \[Heaven of Nonexistence], they would merely be dazed for a few days and lose some merit and fortune, without life-threatening consequences. Comparing the gains to the risks, \[Heaven of Nonexistence] was overwhelmingly beneficial—how could one not be tempted?
Of course, it wasn't without drawbacks.
The flow of time within \[Heaven of Nonexistence] matched that of the outside world. Once a cultivator entered, their physical body would be completely unguarded.
'However, as long as I only use the puppet clone controlled by \[Puppet Strings] to enter, I can sever the connection when necessary to avoid this issue.'
Lü Yang thought to himself, then got up from the bed, glancing at the woman beside him. The Precelestial True Person's memories held no recollection of her.
Not even this place.
In his memories, the Precelestial True Person was secluded, preparing for Foundation Establishment, when he suffered a deviation. Upon opening his eyes, he found himself here.
Though the Precelestial True Person didn't recognize this place, Lü Yang did.
"The Precelestial True Person cultivated Qi, originally aiming to establish the \[Void Profound Qi Dao Foundation], but was sabotaged by the Holy Sect, resulting in only establishing the \[Qi Dao Foundation]."
Why did this happen?
Looking at the entire Holy Sect, what method could degrade third-grade Qi to a lower grade, even damaging the Dao foundation?
'The \[Heaven-Mending True Scripture]!'
Lü Yang was well-versed in this third-grade divine art of the Holy Sect and had ample practical experience. Naturally, he recognized it instantly.
"The \[Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Dragon-Tiger Contesting Formation], derived from the \[Heaven-Mending True Scripture], is arranged by 108 \[Heavenly Maidens], each playing instruments like the pipa and guqin, engaging in playful acts, ultimately causing one to lose their senses and emotions, leading to a drastic drop in Qi grade."
This was a superior formation.
Once activated, aside from the 108 \[Heavenly Maidens], there were distinctions between the main array and those entering it. In essence, the main array's person plundered the entrant.
The result was a significant drop in the entrant's Qi grade.
The main array's person reaped all benefits, with a substantial increase in Qi grade.
Fortunately, Lü Yang was quite familiar with this.
Looking around, he saw a city of women, with beauties of various appearances and demeanors moving about.
However, Lü Yang knew this was merely an illusion.
Under the \[Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Dragon-Tiger Contesting Formation], only the women were real; all other scenes were illusions meant to captivate.
If the formation ran its course, Lü Yang would encounter countless soulmates in this city, each leading to intricate stories, making one pledge life and death, eventually sinking into depravity and forgetting the past, becoming scum.
There were roughly three ways to break this formation.
Either pass through the myriad flowers without a single leaf sticking—maintaining one's essence, spirit, and energy, avoiding the illusion's influence, and calmly walking out.
Or, fight one's way out.
With a heart of stone, initiate a massacre, causing a bloody storm, until the formation's foundation collapsed.
However, Lü Yang chose neither, as he currently inherited the identity of the 'Precelestial True Person,' limiting his available methods.
For instance, the \[Heaven-Mending True Scripture].
To deal with such a formation, the best method was the \[Heaven-Mending True Scripture]. If Lü Yang could use it, the formation would collapse instantly.
However, under the rules of \[Heaven of Nonexistence], he couldn't use it.
Similarly, whether maintaining his mind under the \[Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Dragon-Tiger Contesting Formation] or fighting his way out was challenging for him at the moment.
Therefore, he could only choose the third method.
'At this point, I have no choice but to charge ahead!'
With this thought, Lü Yang activated his superhuman state and boldly rushed into the formation, startling the \[Heavenly Maidens] who arranged it.
However, they quickly regained their composure.
Courting death!
After all, there were 108 of them, empowered by the formation, attacking in turns. Who below Foundation Establishment could withstand them?
Yet soon, they realized something was amiss.
Lü Yang grew more courageous with each battle!
One, two, ten, twenty... no matter how many \[Heavenly Maidens] attacked, he subdued them with ease!
In the end, the remaining conscious \[Heavenly Maidens] looked at Lü Yang, not daring to approach.
In their eyes, Lü Yang was no longer prey but a beast! Wherever he went, screams echoed!
Who the hell could stop him?
On the other side, Lü Yang remained calm, even showing a hint of disdain in his eyes: "Is that all?"
I haven't even exerted myself, and you're already down?
As for tribulations, in Lü Yang's view, the reason the Precelestial True Person fell here, having his Qi grade degraded, was solely due to one reason:
Lack of ability!
