they turned and fled without a word, as if a monstrous flood was behind them.​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In stark contrast to the Divine Martial Sect's panicked retreat, the market was filled with joy and excitement.​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, following this battle, the Skeleton Mountain market had become impregnable.​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as a Foundation Establishment cultivator didn't intervene, the Divine Martial Sect would find it hard to shake this turtle shell.​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the corpse tide, it was merely a minor ailment, not worth mentioning.​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, it was safe!​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A safe market would inevitably become a financial hub; it was foreseeable that future transactions here would be more frequent, and opportunities to make money would increase.​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good days were ahead!​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he was still immersed in the lingering fear from earlier, unable to recover for a long time.​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a long time, or rather since Xiao Shiye was lured away by Daoist Hong Yun, Foundation Establishment cultivators had become an inescapable shadow in Lü Yang's heart.​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he realized that another Foundation Establishment cultivator might be plotting against him, the joy of just killing Ouyang Haoze vanished instantly.​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instinctively, he grasped the \"Innate Primordial True Divine Talisman\" around his neck.​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After ensuring it was still functioning, his anxious heart slightly calmed.​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The divine talisman is still operating, indicating that the other party can't calculate me.\"​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That said, the Innate Primordial True Qi Divine Talisman's effect had its limits.​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strictly speaking, it didn't sever causality but obscured it, overlaying a layer of false causal lines on Lü Yang to achieve protection.​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, completely severing causality would be too conspicuous.​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, when a Foundation Establishment cultivator tried to deduce him, they wouldn't get no result but would derive a flawless yet entirely false outcome.​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The advantage of this approach was greater concealment; the downside was the inability to completely block the influence from Foundation Establishment cultivators.​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Lü Yang had an answer in his heart: \"So, the other party wasn't specifically targeting me but inadvertently involved me?\"​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this way, the matter of the Mysterious Female Taiyin Treasure Jade could also be explained.​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't that he had a stroke of luck, but someone deliberately delivered this item to him, aiming to use him to achieve some unspeakable purpose.​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What purpose?\"​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lü Yang's gaze shifted to Ouyang Haoze's corpse.​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then waved the Myriad Spirits Banner, drawing the bisected corpse over.​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps he could glean some clues from this person.​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, as a true disciple of the Divine Martial Sect, Ouyang Haoze's collection must be substantial!​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Ouyang Haoze's corpse was refined into the Myriad Spirits Banner.​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, since the body was split in two, the extracted true spirit wasn't complete.​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Myriad Spirits Banner recorded banner spirits.​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it could maintain the banner spirit's combat power, memory, and consciousness from life generally depended on the body's completeness.​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The better preserved the body, the closer the banner spirit would be to its state in life, like Liu Xin.​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Ouyang Haoze, Lü Yang barely preserved seventy percent of his former state.​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, he still learned many secrets.​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So this was the Divine Martial Sect's true objective.\"​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Within Skeleton Mountain lies a secret realm left by the ancient Witch Ghost Path.​ The yin energy in the earth veins beneath Skeleton Mountain leaks from that secret realm.\"​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Divine Martial Sect wanted to monopolize the secret realm, hence their plan to remove the Primordial Saint Sect's market here.\"​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is indeed valuable information.​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If reported back to the Primordial Saint Sect, it would surely earn considerable contribution points, and the sect would send reinforcements.\"​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although monopolizing this information would yield greater benefits, why should I monopolize it?\"​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After all, I don't intend to explore that Witch Ghost secret realm.​ It's better to hand it over to the sect, earn some contribution points steadily, and watch others fight to the death!\"​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this thought, Lü Yang felt more at ease.​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing that Skeleton Mountain was now under the covert scheming of Foundation Establishment cultivators, he was more determined to stay hidden in the market and not venture out.​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, Lü Yang began to handle Ouyang Haoze's belongings.​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, just as he picked up Ouyang Haoze's storage pouch, a round mirror trembled and floated over, affectionately rubbing against his hand.​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the Taiwei Mirror.​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This spiritual treasure behaved like a diligent little dog, circling Lü Yang and even hopping twice, its actions full of loyalty.​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you switching allegiance?\"​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lü Yang was somewhat surprised.​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, such a pure yang spiritual treasure actually choosing to follow a demonic cultivator like him indicated that Ouyang Haoze had truly hurt it deeply.​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Lü Yang's attention was finally on it, the Taiwei Mirror first reflected the storage pouch in Lü Yang's hand, then shook left and right.​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, a voice sounded in Lü Yang's mind, carrying a childish tone, like a newborn who had just learned to speak:​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They are not acceptable!\"​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the Taiwei Mirror emitted a strong light, shook up and down, and its voice changed, filled with innate pride and confidence:​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am acceptable!\"​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was recommending itself.​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lü Yang's eyes grew increasingly astonished.​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had long known that spiritual treasures possessed their own intelligence and were incredibly mysterious, this was his first time witnessing it.​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very well, let's use you for now.\"​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lü Yang reached out, and the Taiwei Mirror immediately descended voluntarily.​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With its cooperation, he quickly mastered every aspect of this spiritual treasure.​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Excellent! Truly a fine treasure!\"​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lü Yang's face was full of joy; the reputation of spiritual treasures was well-deserved!​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was well-known that achieving the peak of Qi Refining involved nurturing the internal qi seed to its limit, thereby transforming into a \"Perfect True Qi\" cultivator.​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Continuing translation despite the timeout error—here's the next part:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, his 『Nine Transformations Dragon Art』 would transform into a “True Dragon Fiend” upon reaching the peak of Qi Refining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, Perfect True Qi was the mark of Qi Refining completion, and also the most powerful means to suppress all those below the peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet this Taiwei Mirror, as a spiritual treasure, actually innately possessed a strand of Perfect True Qi, named “Taiwei Wind and Thunder Qi”!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, as long as one wielded this treasure, even with only first-layer Qi Refining cultivation, one could match the might of a Qi Refining peak cultivator while using it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But this spiritual treasure still has quite a few restrictions inside…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lü Yang examined the Taiwei Mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A treasure, to be truly usable, must not be limited—even among righteous sects, this was no exception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Taiwei Mirror remained numerous restrictions that controlled its movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were used in front of Divine Martial Sect disciples, they might only need to make a hand seal for the mirror to fly back on its own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t about the mirror’s own will, but the hidden backdoor left by the one who refined it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A treasure like this, if I can’t use it, that’d be a real loss.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lü Yang pondered for a moment, then his eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though his current formation skill wasn’t yet enough to break the mirror’s internal restrictions, there was a workaround.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment, he shook the Myriad Spirits Banner and summoned Ouyang Haoze once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he refined Ouyang Haoze into a strand of “Innate True Qi,” and injected it into the Taiwei Mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would use Ouyang Haoze to control the mirror from within, bypassing its internal restrictions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the Taiwei Mirror in Lü Yang’s hand burst forth with dazzling radiance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the light echoed the sound of wind and thunder—the power clearly reached the Qi Refining peak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…It really works!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lü Yang laughed heartily, then suspended the Taiwei Mirror behind his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, even the light it emitted turned crimson, stained with his own color.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not bad! Not bad!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lü Yang laughed again, then put the Taiwei Mirror away and opened Ouyang Haoze’s storage pouch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, a surge of spiritual energy made him squint slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside was a massive pile of spirit stones!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition, there were various precious pills, magical tools, and materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lü Yang made a rough estimate—selling all this to the sect would fetch at least thirty thousand contribution points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Truly a massive haul… what a shame there won’t be another chance like this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, with Ouyang Haoze’s demise as precedent, no one below Foundation Establishment would dare charge into the formation again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Once the news of the Witch Ghost Secret Realm spreads, Skeleton Mountain will be drenched in blood again… There must be Foundation Establishment cultivators scheming behind this.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘But as long as I don’t go out and get involved… unless they strike personally, what can they do to me?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lü Yang solidified his resolve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He packed everything up, dispelled the formation, and flew back to the market, landing on the tower of the Blood Garment Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From this day on, Skeleton Mountain fell into an eerie calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Divine Martial Sect sent more reinforcements. The Primordial Saint Sect's support followed one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But on the surface, nothing stirred—only undercurrents surged in the shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under such circumstances, Lü Yang’s story inexplicably spread far and wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten years ago, he joined the sect as a mortal. He earned big by flipping Substitute Death Yin Puppets, then broke through to late-stage Qi Refining in seclusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As an array master, he then killed a true disciple of the Divine Martial Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such an inspiring underdog tale of reaching the Qi Refining peak invigorated the common disciples of the sect like a shot of adrenaline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gradually, out of awe and reverence, people stopped calling him by name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he came to be known by another title:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Blood Garment Tower Master’!\u003C\u002Fp>",1662,"2026-06-06T16:06:03.000Z",1,"novelbin.me","ee5ae346a2eb17d32a62b6f9fe9e63ab7dc2867bcf9dfb6ac6890a73a7621944","struggling-to-survive-with-regression-power-in-t-chapter-44","struggling-to-survive-with-regression-power-in-t-chapter-42",449,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstruggling-to-survive-with-regression-power-in-t-cover.jpg"]
