Chapter 131: Changes in The Book of a Hundred Lifetimes

After seeing off the two Perfected Lords of the Pure Land and the Dao Court, Perfected Lord Qingcheng Feixue turned her gaze to Lu Yang. Her eyes, large as the sun and moon, seemed to be pondering something.

“…Hehe, adding a Perfected One to the sect is a joyous event.”

As her voice fell, Perfected Lord Qingcheng Feixue smiled beautifully and released Lu Yang from her palm: “Go back and see Chong Guang. Announce it to the various sects of Jiangbei along the way.”

Having said this, that magnificent Dharma Body, filling the heaven and earth and stretching for an unknown tens of thousands of li, dispersed.

Only then did Lu Yang exhale a deep breath of turbid air. He saw Qin Tianhe, Xu Xin, Daoist Jiao Long, and other Saint Sect Direct Disciples flying over cautiously one by one.

“Disciples greet the Perfected One!”

Compared to before the Dao Seizing War, the stature of all the Direct Disciples had significantly improved. Especially Chong Ming; at a glance, Lu Yang could tell he had at least a fifty percent chance of successful Foundation Establishment.

“Rise.”

Lu Yang raised his hand and smiled. “This place is at the junction of Jiangdong, Jiangxi, and Jiangbei. It takes a long time to return to the sect. Do you need me to give you a lift?”

“Many thanks for the Perfected One’s kindness.” Xu Xin hurriedly shook his head. “We still have to go to the front line, so we won’t be going back… However, perhaps the Little Young Master has a need?”

Chong Ming’s face instantly dropped upon hearing this: “Not needed.”

“Then forget it.”

Lu Yang chuckled lightly, putting on no airs. After all, among the Saint Sect Direct Disciples present, who knew which one might one day walk out as a Foundation Establishment Perfected One like him.

Even in the Saint Sect, Direct Disciples had some stature more or less. Although in most cases they would still be used as “material,” at least they wouldn’t be consumables that could be discarded at any time. Perfected Ones would also cherish them a bit more when using them, not completely disregarding their lives.

Having said that, there was still a thick barrier between Perfected Ones and those below Perfected Ones.

Therefore, after meeting Lu Yang and paying their respects, the group of Direct Disciples left one after another by driving light. Only Chong Ming remained in place, looking at Lu Yang with a helpless expression.

“Is there anything else?” Lu Yang looked puzzled.

“Perfected One…”

Chong Ming lowered his head and said in a deep voice, “That Eight Trigrams Disc was a gift from my father. It can conceal heavenly secrets and is a treasure for Disciple’s self-protection. I ask the Perfected One to return it…”

Lu Yang was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then immediately revealed an expression of sudden realization.

Immediately afterward, he reached into his bosom, took out the Eight Trigrams Disc he had borrowed from Chong Ming previously to calculate the Dao Court’s location, and returned it.

“Apologies, this seat was careless for a moment and forgot.”

“Not at all; many thanks to the Perfected One…”

While respectfully accepting the Eight Trigrams Disc, Chong Ming cursed secretly in his heart: If I hadn’t spoken up, this Perfected One would probably have embezzled the spiritual treasure!

Even if I hadn’t brought up the background of my father, Perfected One Chong Guang, this Perfected One might have pretended not to know!

Simply shameless to the extreme!

Looking at Lu Yang’s expression remaining normal, with a look of having a clear conscience, Chong Ming felt somewhat helpless amidst his silent criticism… Worthy of being a Perfected One of my Saint Sect.

A moment later, Lu Yang watched Chong Ming leave with a look of regret. However, he didn’t rush back to the Saint Sect but turned his gaze to [The Book of a Hundred Lifetimes]. In fact, as early as when he succeeded in Foundation Establishment, [The Book of a Hundred Lifetimes] had undergone changes. It was only because the Perfected Lord was above that he dared not reveal any abnormality.

Now was the perfect time to check it.

In the next second, with a slight movement of Lu Yang’s mind, his data on [The Book of a Hundred Lifetimes] emerged. Compared to before, there were significant changes.

【Name: Lu Yang】

【Lifespan: 35】

【Cultivation: Initial Stage of Foundation Establishment】

【Talents: Unorthodox Prodigy (White), Has a Few Tricks (Purple)】

【Dao Foundation: Imperial Dragon Sovereign Dao Foundation】

【Divine Abilities: None】

【Treasures: Blood Sun Sword Pellet (Scrapped), Primordial One Qi (Superior Rare Treasure), Myriad Spirits Banner (Inferior Spirit Treasure)】

【Book of a Hundred Lifetimes Pages: 93】

【Anchor Points: 1】

Lu Yang’s gaze landed immediately on the newly added [Anchor Points] at the end. This was the gift from [The Book of a Hundred Lifetimes] after breaking through to Foundation Establishment.

A chance to save!

In this way, when he restarted, he wouldn’t need to go back to the day he just joined the sect. Instead, he could freely choose from which anchor point to restart.

In this way, the room for manipulation was much larger!

For example, currently, the anchor point was a Saint Sect start. In the next life, he could very well go to the Sword Pavilion and start from the Sword Pavilion!

However, as for exactly how to do it, Lu Yang still needed to consider it seriously. Therefore, he wasn’t in a hurry to use this anchor point but continued to look at the panel.

Besides the anchor points, the [Cultivation Method] on the panel was replaced by [Dao Foundation], and the [Divine Abilities] column was even more exaggerated—it was directly cleared.

“In other words, even Great Divine Abilities are no longer that important for Foundation Establishment. Basically, they are just commonly used combat methods… Makes sense. How fast does a Foundation Establishment Perfected One cultivate Great Divine Abilities? Cheap goods aren’t good; things easily cultivated naturally have low gold content.”

This aspect highlighted the advantage of having a sect background.

Lu Yang possessed the Shaman Ghost Dao inheritance and also had Patriarch Nether Whisper’s personal teaching. After returning to the Heaven-Connecting Cloud Sea, he could probably also get guidance from Saint Sect Perfected Ones.

Isn’t this much more promising than being a bitter rogue cultivator?

Thinking of this, Lu Yang stayed no longer. He immediately turned his body, released the golden auspicious cloud again, rode the wind in the void, and escaped towards the direction of the Saint Sect.

In an instant, a spiritual tide of a thousand li was stirred up above the dome of heaven.

After all, Lu Yang dared not forget Perfected Lord Qingcheng Feixue’s instructions. Along the way, he didn’t conceal his aura at all, passing through like lightning or the sun and moon traversing the sky.

Almost simultaneously, throughout the entire Jiangbei, the Foundation Establishment Perfected Ones in the various sects large and small under the Saint Sect’s rule and in the Immortal Clans all sensed it. Looking up at the dome of heaven, envy appeared in their eyes: “The Saint Sect has produced another Foundation Establishment. Moreover, observing his spiritual power, so tyrannical, I’m afraid he is another outstanding figure among his peers.”

Primordial Saint Sect, Heaven-Connecting Cloud Sea.

On Sacred Fire Cliff, Perfected One Chong Guang was originally meditating and regulating his breath, but suddenly woke up. Subsequently calculating with his fingers, a few traces of relieved smiles appeared between his eyebrows:

“Good! Very good!”

As his voice fell, Perfected One Chong Guang waved his sleeve robe. With a flick of his finger like thunder, vigorous spiritual power landed straight on a great bell at the peak of Sacred Fire Cliff.

In an instant, the sound of bells and chimes spread throughout the cloud sea.

And as the sound of bells and chimes spread, the first to react were the four Inner Sect peaks. The four Peak Masters were startled awake from their seclusion almost simultaneously.

In the past, most Perfected Ones of the Saint Sect were like divine dragons whose heads could be seen but not their tails; they wouldn’t appear unless necessary. However, at this moment, after hearing the sound of bells and chimes, all Perfected Ones currently in seclusion within the Saint Sect fully revealed their auras, transforming into beams of clear light and brilliance penetrating the clouds and mountains, shooting straight into the dome of heaven!

Such a commotion immediately caused the cloud sea to vibrate.

Countless Qi Refining disciples knelt on the ground one after another, revealing looks of awe. At the same time, they were communicating secretly, speculating on what exactly had happened.

And in the Northern Frontier, the Divine Martial Sect, which was already like the sun setting in the west, was even more terrified.

After the Skull Mountain incident, the Divine Martial Sect suffered heavy losses and was almost a turtle in a jar. The Saint Sect kept it purely to drill its own disciples.

This time, with the various Perfected Ones of the Saint Sect erupting their auras, the remaining Perfected Ones of the Divine Martial Sect thought the Saint Sect had finally made up its mind to carry out extermination. They appeared in shock and anger one after another, each with a look of resolution, ready to fight to the death, until they discovered not a single Saint Sect Perfected One came, plunging them into confusion again.

Heaven-Connecting Cloud Sea, inside Heaven-Mending Peak.

“Father, what happened?”

“…After many years, someone has reached Foundation Establishment again.”

Facing his daughter Chen Shuqian’s inquiry, the Heaven-Mending Peak Master fell silent for a moment. He walked out of his seclusion cave abode, looking up at that golden auspicious cloud stretching for a thousand li.

At this moment, his expression was slightly complicated.

“Coiled Dragon’s inheritance? Who exactly is this person? He deceived me and deceived Coiled Dragon. To be able to achieve Foundation Establishment with such great karma, what kind of figure could he be?”

“And since Coiled Dragon’s inheritance is with him… then what about Zhao Xuhe?”

The more the Heaven-Mending Peak Master thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. The karma calculated so clearly in the past now seemed to have a flavor that couldn’t be explained clearly.

In his heart, great apprehension arose towards this newly promoted Perfected One of the Saint Sect.

Thinking of this, the Heaven-Mending Peak Master even felt a bit fortunate.

At least he didn’t have any disputes or huge enmities with this newly promoted Perfected One because of the Nine Transformations Dragon Art.
