Chapter 151: Bastard, You Played Me!?

Mount Nether Capital. Lu Yang’s life recently had been very pleasant.

Every day, he would hold the Comprehensive Book of Subduing Enemies, studying formations and talismans. When idle, he would discuss the Dao with Su Nü, deepening the communication between them.

In the blink of an eye, another ten years passed.

On this day, a stream of flowing light descended from the sky, landing on Mount Nether Capital. Perfected One Yin Shan walked out from it, looking at Lu Yang with a strange expression.

“Junior Brother, are you still not going out?”

“Go out? No rush, no rush…”

Lu Yang hurriedly welcomed him, looking at Perfected One Yin Shan with eager eyes. Seeing this, Perfected One Yin Shan smiled proudly, then took out a formation plate.

Inside the formation plate, two familiar souls were firmly suppressed. Countless black chains pierced through their souls, locking all their thoughts, making them unable even to self-destruct. Their expressions had become numb, only revealing some emotion upon seeing Lu Yang.

Perfected One Huan Wu, Perfected One Xuan Wu.

The two fugitive Perfected Ones of the Divine Martial Sect were actually really captured and brought back by Yin Shan! While Lu Yang admired this, he also generated great vigilance.

Not vigilance against Perfected One Yin Shan, but vigilance against the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment.

After all, he asked himself, if he fought these two Perfected Ones of the Divine Martial Sect, although he could win or even kill them, wanting to capture them alive was almost impossible.

However, Perfected One Yin Shan achieved it.

Being also at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, if Perfected One Yin Shan could do it, could Arhat Fu Long do it? If Arhat Fu Long could too… then he definitely wasn’t his opponent.

Thinking of this, Lu Yang made a decision immediately.

“Wait a bit longer.”

Anyway, having just obtained two Foundation Establishment Perfected Ones, he was about to use them to sacrifice to the [Avici Sword]. Before that, just use Su Nü to keep Fu Long hanging.

Arhat Fu Long looked at Su Nü flying across the sky with blood-red eyes. Beside him, the Heaven-Mending Peak Master explained in a low voice with a helpless expression:

“Yin Shan brought him those two wastes from the Divine Martial Sect.”

“He is currently sacrificing to the [Avici Sword], that’s why he didn’t come out.”

After a long time, Arhat Fu Long finally forced a smile: “No matter. Although the effect of the second Wind-Avoiding Pill is reduced by one-third, it is still useful.”

“Victory is right before my eyes; I will persist.”

Another ten years passed.

On Mount Nether Capital, a blood light pierced through heaven and earth, almost dyeing half the sky red. Only after a long time did it slowly converge, transforming into a little girl falling down.

“Master, I’m full.”

The girl transformed from the [Avici Sword] patted her round little belly. Her pretty face was rosy, and she said with satisfaction, “Haven’t eaten this full in a long time!”

After speaking, she spun her body on the spot, transforming into the true form of the crimson long sword, letting Lu Yang hold her in his hand. As Lu Yang’s spiritual power continuously poured into the sword body, echoing with the sword spirit, soon, the information of the re-sacrificed [Avici Sword] emerged in his heart:

“Good! Indeed achieved the status of Superior Spirit Treasure!”

Lu Yang revealed joy on his face. Unlike the [Investigating Heaven Sphere], the [Avici Sword] was a pure weapon of slaughter. Its [Divine Wonder] naturally had more uses in combat.

And this [Divine Wonder] was named [Butcher of Man].

“Using [Myriad People’s Blood] as material and [Nether Sinking Steel] as the edge, spirituality combined with the [Shang Zhang] of the Ten Heavenly Stem, manifesting Divine Wonder, thus becoming the [Avici Sword]…”

This sword adhered to the Qi of [Shang Zhang]. In heaven it was wind and frost; on earth it was metal and iron. It commanded the authority of solemn killing of heaven and earth, extremely Yang and masculine. Therefore, the more the sword wielder practiced this Dao, fighting with peers, overcoming the strong with the weak, defeating and taking their lives, the stronger the sword might became, until finally one sword strike broke ten thousand dharmas!

Lu Yang sighed with emotion: “What a [Butcher of Man]!”

As the name suggested, this was a sword for killing people!

The more killed, the stronger the killing, and the greater the power. In a sense, it was the same type of ability as the Myriad Spirits Banner, simple and crude yet very useful.

However, unlike the Myriad Spirits Banner, this [Divine Wonder] had a side effect.

That was, the sword wielder could only win, not lose. Once defeated by others, the might of the [Divine Wonder] would be reduced by more than half immediately, and one must start accumulating from scratch.

However, correspondingly, the power was also guaranteed.

“Now I have already sacrificed two Foundation Establishment Perfected Ones to the sword. It’s hard to say to what extent the power of this sword has climbed. Find a chance to test it in the future…”

Lu Yang put away the Avici Sword with satisfaction.

Immediately afterward, he opened the panel of [The Book of a Hundred Lifetimes] again. His gaze fell on the [Anchor Points], pondering in his heart: “Should I use it at this moment?”

Previously, he intended to use the anchor point after restarting.

However, after decades passed, he gradually changed his mind… because as of today, he seemed to have a bit too many good things on him.

Moreover, if he restarted to the very beginning, he inevitably had to choose cultivation base.

But in that case, a Foundation Establishment Perfected One appearing inexplicably in the Heaven-Connecting Cloud Sea would inevitably alarm many people. And at that time, he didn’t have the [Investigating Heaven Sphere].

If careless, it was possible to become a dead save file.

So after thinking it over, Lu Yang felt he should still leave insurance… Use the anchor point for the present. Anyway, when restarting, he could choose the time freely.

Besides that, doing so had another advantage: by placing the anchor point in the present, he wouldn’t need to prioritize cultivation base and treasures anymore. Instead, he could choose a talent after restarting! With his experiences and achievements in this life, he could absolutely open a Superior Talent!

Lu Yang still approved of the talents provided by [The Book of a Hundred Lifetimes].

Just a Purple Talent [A Few Tricks Up Your Sleeve] had saved him more than once before and after, making him look forward even more to what effect a Golden Talent would have.

“…Just do it like this!”

Lu Yang considered again and again, and finally made the decision. With a thought, an anchor point landed on the present on the panel of [The Book of a Hundred Lifetimes].

After doing all this, Lu Yang began to think about the next action.

“Should I leave the sect to seek Heavenly Spirits and Earthly Fiends?”

Lu Yang calculated with his fingers, then shook his head again: “Not right, how can this Fu Long live so long? He lived twenty years more… Forget it, wait a bit longer.”

After ten years, another ten years… Arhat Fu Long finally couldn’t hold on anymore.

Because the effect of repeated use of the Wind-Avoiding Pill dropped sharply by one-third, over twenty years, he had successively used up a full three Wind-Avoiding Pills from the Heaven-Mending Peak Master.

Then the Heaven-Mending Peak Master couldn’t be contacted.

And as things stood, let alone fighting others, Arhat Fu Long found it difficult even to move a bit. Seeing that he was breathing out more than breathing in…

At this moment, only despair remained in his heart.

Then he discovered that the memories originally gradually blurring due to old age suddenly became clear, especially the figure belonging to Lu Yang within them—

[Determine Intimacy and Distance]!

In the next second, the figure in the memory turned from virtual to real. A young man in his prime, unchanged compared to decades ago, paced out.

It was Lu Yang who calculated his end was approaching and came specifically to visit.

“Fellow Daoist, trust you have been well since we parted?”

Arhat Fu Long: “…”

At this moment, the experience of camping outside the Saint Sect for twenty years flashed through his mind. Arhat Fu Long finally woke up as if from a dream: “Supreme treasure for deducing heavenly secrets… Bastard, you played me!?”

Before his voice fell, Arhat Fu Long spat a mouthful of hot blood towards the sky—

“Ah—!!!”

He was unwilling!

If he had known earlier that Lu Yang had a supreme treasure for deducing heavenly secrets, how could he have foolishly wasted twenty years? He would definitely have thought of other ways to obscure heavenly secrets!

With this thought, Arhat Fu Long struggled to prop up his body, seeming to still want to fight Lu Yang to the death.

However, the end was approaching after all; the situation was irreversible.

In the Foundation Establishment Realm, the [Bi Wind] blew.

Arhat Fu Long, who had just propped up half his body, completely lost his strength. With a thud, he fell to the ground, then disintegrated with a boom. A soul drifted into reincarnation…
