Struggling to Survive with Regression Power in the Primordial Saint Sect-Chapter 391 : Sudden Upheaval!
Chapter 391: Sudden Upheaval!
Outside the 【Heaven of Parting Sorrow】.
The White Lotus Sect had arrived in full force, even transporting the divine incense realm of 【True Void Homeland】 with them. The overwhelming incense flames nearly ignited the sea of clouds.
If someone were to look up from the ground, it would appear as if a second sun had risen within the sea of clouds. To put it bluntly, if this 【True Void Homeland】 were to fall, it would immediately cause the heavens to collapse and the earth to shatter. At that time, all gods and all people would perish without a trace!
Therefore, at this moment, the Black Lotus Divine Venerable was full of confidence.
‘Just a mere 【Heaven of Parting Sorrow】, a heretical sect, today it shall be completely eradicated, thereby rectifying the world and making people dare not underestimate the authority of our sect.’
The Black Lotus Divine Venerable was aware of Lü Yang's minor actions.
Including the development of incense within the White Lotus Sect by the 【Heaven of Parting Sorrow】, this act of borrowing a chicken to lay eggs, stripping the foundation of the White Lotus Sect, was naturally intolerable to him.
Hence, the current formation.
‘Mobilizing the entire sect, dozens of Divine Lords and Great Divine Lords, even bringing along the 【True Void Homeland】. If necessary, the Old Mother can also take action.’
How could this be lost?
Just as this thought arose in the Black Lotus Divine Venerable's mind, a vast divine sense suddenly spread out from the 【Heaven of Parting Sorrow】 before him!
"It's coming!"
The Black Lotus Divine Venerable's expression turned solemn. In the next second, he felt the incense that originally belonged to him begin to divert, bit by bit, flowing towards the other party.
However, he still remained confident.
‘How many years has our White Lotus Sect ruled over its followers? Just a mere 【Heaven of Parting Sorrow】, thinking to hollow out our White Lotus Sect in just ten years? Truly ignorant!’
Yet, as time passed.
He gradually realized something was amiss, because the loss of incense did not slow down as he had anticipated. Instead, it intensified, growing faster and faster!
Correspondingly, the aura of the 【Heaven of Parting Sorrow】 grew increasingly stronger!
"Not good!"
In an instant, the Black Lotus Divine Venerable roared in anger, commanding all the incense gods of the White Lotus Sect to take action. However, in the next second, a scene of despair unfolded before him:
The 【Heaven of Parting Sorrow】 lit up.
It was as if a sun had been ignited, with intense divine incense light converging upon it, presenting scenes of bustling traffic, pavilions, and towers.
In contrast, the originally radiant 【True Void Homeland】 suddenly dimmed. The Black Lotus Divine Venerable looked on in terror at his side, where a Divine Lord of the White Lotus Sect stood. At this moment, however, the incense had dissipated, and his pupils still held a strong sense of fear:
"Help—"
Before the other could utter a plea for help, as the incense vanished, his body seemed to lose its support and instantly exploded into flames!
Yet, this was only the first.
Boom!
As the Black Lotus Divine Venerable looked around, he saw bursts of flames suddenly erupting in mid-air, each flame representing an incense god!
This was the drawback of the incense divine path!
Within the 【Heaven of Parting Sorrow】, Lü Yang manifested as a light and shadow, calmly overlooking the incense gods below, gaining some insight into this cultivation system:
‘This system... looks impressive but is useless!’
The reason being, it relied too heavily on incense and external forces.
Moreover, the starting point was too high. Even the weakest Earth God held a pseudo-Foundation Establishment level, strictly speaking, possessing the capability to cause large-scale extinction.
This led to an awkward situation.
Once a real battle broke out without any scruples, it would inevitably affect the ordinary people who provided incense, leading to the sudden death of the incense gods they worshipped.
Even more awkward was that Earth Gods, City Gods, and other incense deities could only exert their full power in areas where their worshippers gathered. However, once they did, those worshippers would immediately be killed by the aftermath, causing the incense to dissipate and the gods to die as well.
‘A huge pitfall!’
Thinking of this, Lü Yang couldn't help but laugh. In other words, the so-called incense gods were just ornamental, incapable of truly engaging in magical battles.
What pseudo-Foundation Establishment Earth God? Just to scare people!
‘Even if I'm just a Qi Refining cultivator, as long as I seize the opportunity to kill all the villagers in an instant, no matter how powerful the Earth God is, it's still a dead end!’
Qi Refining killing Foundation Establishment, here it was truly possible!
‘Borrowing external forces is harmless, but relying entirely on them leads to the fate of these incense gods.’ Lü Yang murmured in his heart, then couldn't help but shake his head.
One must rely on oneself.
At the time, it seemed insignificant, but now, this saying truly applied everywhere.
However, soon, Lü Yang recovered from his emotions. Although relying on oneself was correct, sometimes, to break the situation, external forces were also a means.
‘The flaws of the incense divine path are indeed significant, but for me, they are not considered flaws. After all, as long as they enter my Ten Thousand Spirits Banner, these problems can be avoided. As for their strength being superficial, so what? At the very least, their status is real, and that's enough!’
With this thought, Lü Yang no longer hesitated.
Incense empowerment!
Finally, as over ninety percent of the White Lotus Sect's incense dissipated, all the incense gods, including the Black Lotus Divine Venerable, exploded into flying ashes.
At this moment.
"Who...?"
Within the 【True Void Homeland】, a confused voice was heard. A graceful figure appeared—it was a female cultivator in a white dress with a charming appearance.
She was the 【Old Mother of No Life】.
Previously, she had been in slumber, but now, awakened by the loss of incense, she hadn't even reacted before being grabbed by Lü Yang.
"Boom!"
At this moment, Lü Yang stood in mid-air, feeling a sharp pain in his head. The myriad incense empowered the 【Heaven of Parting Sorrow】, making him feel as if he was ascending infinitely, reaching an unattainable level. Correspondingly, the Old Mother of No Life before him seemed to shrink bit by bit.
Eventually, she was grasped in his palm, resembling a palm-sized doll.
‘This is status.’
The status of a perfected Foundation Establishment!
This disparity was like the past when Foundation Establishment overlooked Qi Refining—one high, one low. The latter's methods were now utterly ineffective against him!
However, at the same time, Lü Yang felt a sharp pain in his head, and faint noises echoed in his ears. These were the emotions contained in the incense offerings of the people—some seeking fame, some seeking profit, some seeking divination, and even some seeking children.
‘No wonder the ancestors said incense can temper sword intent!’
Lü Yang took a deep breath, then re-entered the state of 【Clear Sword Heart】. Even so, the headache was still unbearable.
‘Three minutes—no, at most one minute.’
With his sword heart, he could only withstand this level of incense for one minute. Beyond that, he would immediately suffer irreversible effects.
However, at this moment, one minute was enough.
After all, with the White Lotus Sect's incense transferred, his status had risen, and the Old Mother of No Life naturally fell, no longer as before.
"Poof!"
Lü Yang gently squeezed, bursting the Old Mother of No Life in his hand like a balloon, then turned his palm to refine her into a banner spirit.
After completing all this, he exited the state of incense empowerment.
The overall situation was settled!
‘Successfully borrowed a chicken to lay eggs. Next, I can repeat the trick, stripping the entire City God system, then cultivating nine incense gods with perfected Foundation Establishment!’
‘Simply unbelievably smooth.’
Thinking of this, Lü Yang couldn't help but use the 【Tribulation Wave】 to brush himself, fearing that he was dreaming and would wake up to find himself still at the gate of the Myriad Poison Sect.
However, at this moment.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Lü Yang felt a change in his 【Puppet Master】 talent. After a brief sensing, a strange expression appeared on his face.
"The Yun Clan's ancestor has reincarnated? And went to the Secret Realm of Alchemy?"
Something's not right!
‘Normally, the Yun Clan's ancestor should reincarnate decades later, then secretly go to the Primordial Saint Sect's Secret Realm of Alchemy under the command of the Sword Pavilion's sect master.’
Why the early timing?
This change, completely different from the previous life, made Lü Yang suddenly awaken from his relaxed state of fishing, quickly projecting his vision through the 【Puppet Master】.
In the next second—
"Hahaha!"
Lü Yang suddenly heard a burst of wild laughter. Looking up, he saw a powerful soul cursing at the sky:
"Goddamn Demon Sect! Beasts!"
"Beasts!"
"I, Mu Changsheng, am irreconcilable with you all—!!!"
