Chapter 105: Third Visit to the Wugui Realm

Although he had decided to go to the newbie village to show off, Lu Yang still intended to make the best preparations beforehand, aiming to complete at least three small goals before going.

"First is the identity of a True Disciple of the Holy Sect; this is the simplest."

"As long as I replicate the actions of my life before the last, follow the proper steps, reveal my cultivation at the peak of Qi Refining, and also cultivate a great divine technique, I should be qualified."

"Second is the earth vein of Skeleton Mountain."

"Although after I restarted with the Ten Thousand Spirits Banner and successfully inherited the 【Yanmo Hall】, I lost the support of Skeleton Mountain's earth vein."

"I need to think of a way for this."

"Otherwise, without the support of Skeleton Mountain's earth vein, given Su Nu's current state, the power of 【Yanmo Hall】 is not even half of what it was at its peak in the previous life."

"Finally... is the Ancestor of the Yun Family."

"The Heavenly Secret Treasure in his hands is of great use to me; perhaps it can help me calculate cause and effect in advance and eliminate variables to the maximum extent."

The three small goals: the first provides status and position, the second guarantees personal combat power, and the third prevents unforeseen situations. Plus Zhao Xuhe as a shield, four layers of insurance; he did not believe he could not deal with the Luo Han Fu Long Luo Han.

Moreover, Lu Yang's thoughts did not stop there.

The Luo Han Fu Long Luo Han is after all at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment; even if he breaks through, if he is constantly watched by such a powerful figure, it is undoubtedly a huge hidden danger.

If possible, he would not mind baiting the Luo Han Fu Long Luo Han over and then directly ambushing and killing him!

Only that would be a permanent solution!

Lu Yang silently set his goals in his heart; the world is vast, and dangers are everywhere. Only by achieving the position of True Person would one have the qualification to survey Guan Qiankun and the four seas.

With the goal set, the remaining matters were already familiar to Lu Yang; simply replicating the actions of the life before the last was enough, requiring no extra effort.

Sell a substitute death puppet, earn tens of thousands of contribution points, and then announce a seclusion to the outside world.

Lu Yang was very patient and in no rush for the moment.

In the blink of an eye, ten years passed.

During these ten years, Lu Yang gradually cultivated back the great divine technique from his past life, his true qi reached perfection, and he once again reached the peak state where he could break through to Foundation Establishment at any time.

Ten years later, Lu Yang emerged from seclusion and successfully "broke through" to the late stage of Qi Refining.

Soon, everything followed a natural course; the Fairy Feixia, representing Sanhe, came to recruit him. Lu Yang decisively agreed and, incidentally, got a great divine technique for free.

This time, the great divine technique Lu Yang chose was named the "Twelve Capital Gods of Evil and the Secret Demon Tribulation Light".

As the name suggests, this great divine technique was completely different from the Corpse-Release True Method and the Silkworm Secret; compared to increasing the chance of breaking through to Foundation Establishment, its function leaned more towards magical combat.

"To achieve this divine technique, one must refine a treasure, fly it up to the sky above, enter the thirty-six layers of violent clouds, use the treasure to draw the boundless evil qi from beyond the heavens, accumulate it day by day, and finally condense it into a single tribulation light. When needed, draw it down from the sky above; wherever the tribulation light passes, humans and beasts die out!"

"Moreover, the longer the accumulation time, the greater the power!"

"However, merely flying the treasure up above the thirty-six layers of violent clouds is almost impossible for a Qi Refining cultivator; the difficulty is absurdly high."

Of course, for Lu Yang, this was only a minor problem.

"Let Su Nu suffer a bit more."

Lu Yang summoned Su Nu, then handed the Blood Sun Sword Pill into her hands, letting her fly into the thirty-six layers of violent clouds to cultivate this great divine technique for him.

"With this great divine technique, I will have an extra trump card in future magical combats."

"Afterwards, if preparations are complete, my chances of breaking through to Foundation Establishment can even rise to ninety percent; I can use the war between the Righteous and Demonic paths to make up the final ten percent."

Perfect Foundation Establishment!

Although Lu Yang had not initially had the idea of deliberately pursuing this achievement, in this life, if he wanted to be absolutely safe, he probably still had to take this step.

Perfect Foundation Establishment; upon breaking through, he reached the peak of the early stage of Foundation Establishment!

Perhaps only then would he truly have a bit of self-preservation power.

One month later, Lu Yang followed the proper steps and, at the invitation of the Fairy Feixia, went with her, Zhao Xuhe, and Lu Yuanchun to the market town stationed at Skeleton Mountain.

However, compared to the life before the last, this life had the variable of Zhao Xuhe.

In the life before the last, Zhao Xuhe, having lost the Panlong opportunity, was extremely down and out, able only to use a technique to steal Heavenly Secrets as a last gamble at the Skeleton Mountain market town.

However, in this life, Zhao Xuhe was much more spirited; as the reincarnation of the "True Person Panlong", his cultivation progress could be described as godly speed, and with Lu Yang's secret financial support, he reached the peak of Qi Refining within ten years, also arriving at the threshold of breaking through to Foundation Establishment.

However, this suited Lu Yang's intentions perfectly.

After all, the True Person of Yinshan needed a disciple of the Holy Sect to open the secret realm, and he certainly would not cooperate; it was just right to let Zhao Xuhe come and take the blame.

Northern Jia, Skeleton Mountain.

"I am back."

Quietly leaving the crowd, Lu Yang quickly returned to the entrance of the Wugui Secret Realm, preparing to let 【Yanmo Hall】 re-attach to Skeleton Mountain's earth vein.

However, the next second, he froze.

"Skeleton Mountain's earth vein has an owner!?"

As he activated 【Yanmo Hall】 and intended to connect with the earth vein, he discovered that a towering palace had already stood at the center of the earth vein!

It was also Yanmo Hall!

"This is... Ancestor Tingyou!?" Lu Yang frowned tightly; the experiences of several past lives flashed through his mind, and then a look of realization appeared on his face.

In the life before the last, news of the Wugui Secret Realm was first spread by the Shenwu Gate and discovered by its disciples; at that time, he had not noticed it.

However, thinking back now, if he had not appeared, would the dying Ancestor Tingyou have failed to notice several disciples of the Shenwu Gate entering the secret realm? How could he have sat by and done nothing? Moreover, the price for him to cast the soul-snatching secret technique was to kill everyone inside the entire Wugui Secret Realm.

And in the life before the last, the Wugui Secret Realm was empty!

In a flash of lightning, Lu Yang drew his conclusion: "At this point in time, Ancestor Tingyou has probably already possessed a disciple of the Shenwu Gate and lived out his fifth life!"

In that case, the Ancestor Tingyou of the life before the last actually won.

Because at the end of the life before the last, the True Person of Yinshan resolved the Jin Dan sword qi, reopened the Wugui Secret Realm, but the result was merely taking away a single 【Heavenly Corpse Evil】.

The earth vein was still there!

The True Person of Yinshan, seeking the path of the Dao, fished away the Heavenly Corpse Evil, unknowingly becoming bait for Ancestor Tingyou, and was used to fish away that Jin Dan sword qi!

"... Remarkable!"

If Ancestor Tingyou was truly still alive, then his schemes had actually all succeeded! On the contrary, in the previous life, it was his own appearance that caused him to fail at the last moment.

After grasping everything, even Lu Yang couldn't help but exclaim in awe.

For without his own variable, the miracle of Listening to the Venerable Ancestor escaping from a Golden Core True Lord over a thousand years while still at the Foundation Establishment stage!

Just then, a consciousness suddenly surged from the center of the earth veins:

"Who are you!?"

The voice was full of surprise, confusion, and even a touch of bewilderment; it was clearly Listening to the Venerable Ancestor. Seeing this, Lu Yang's eyes rolled, and he immediately reacted.

Because he was using the 【Yanma Hall】 to connect with the earth veins!

And the 【Yanma Hall】 was the supreme divine ability created by Listening to the Venerable Ancestor, a secret never passed on; in his view, only he should be able to wield it.

How could there be a second one?

At this thought, Lu Yang's expression changed rapidly: 狂喜，震撼，and his tone even carried a hint of a crying voice: "Listening to the Venerable Ancestor, is it Listening to the Venerable Ancestor?"

"You are truly still alive!"

"Heaven above, Heaven has not doomed the Wugui Dao!"

Having spoken, Lu Yang immediately bowed deeply without a second word, performing a great prostration, and said: "Disciple Lu Yang of the three hundred and seventy-sixth generation of the Wugui Dao pays respects to the Venerable Ancestor!"

Listening to the Venerable Ancestor: ".?"
