Chapter 361: Patriarch's Rebirth, Foundation Establishment Incarnation!

Jiangbei, a remote mountain forest.

After collecting the spoil of war at [Skull Mountain], Lu Yang flew all the way here. Then he used [Tribulation Wave] to clear karma and opened a cave abode in the mountains.

Next was refining the Immortal Fetus.

The quality of the [Divine Martial Flood Dragon Axe] naturally couldn’t compare to the [Avici Sword], but it was ultimately a Superior Grade Spirit Treasure, more than enough to serve as an Immortal Fetus.

Moreover, Patriarch Nether Whisper had also made some improvements to this secret method.

It lowered the refining requirements and increased the refining efficiency. In terms of results, the finalized Immortal Fetus actually didn’t differ much from Lu Yang’s Incarnation.

Soon, another three years passed.

Inside the cave abode, under the burning of the [Six Ding Divine Fire], the Immortal Fetus belonging to Patriarch Nether Whisper had already taken shape. It looked impressively like a valiant and heroic youth.

“Please enter the shell, Patriarch!”

Lu Yang performed a hand seal, summoning the [Myriad Spirits Banner]. Patriarch Nether Whisper’s light and shadow manifested within it, his expression complex. Clearly, he hadn’t expected to have this day.

In the next second, as the rolling Primordial One Qi dispersed, Patriarch Nether Whisper’s soul manifested. With a flash, it fell into the Immortal Fetus below. Not long after, this Immortal Fetus opened its eyes. Its aura changed, but it was only at Qi Refining Great Perfection. Obviously, it would take time to reach Foundation Establishment again.

Fortunately, he had raided the [Divine Martial Sect]’s home and didn’t lack Foundation Establishment spiritual items.

But actually, I can’t consider this robbing.

After all, the [Divine Martial Sect] was an righteous sect. Now that it has been tragically annihilated, if its resources fell into the hands of the demonic sect, wouldn’t it be equivalent to aiding the enemy?

So my taking away all of the [Divine Martial Sect]’s collection was also a helpless move.

After all, only in this way could the [Divine Martial Sect] avoid failing to maintain its integrity in its final years. I believe the spirits of the [Divine Martial Sect]’s Perfected Ones in heaven would surely approve of my actions.

—He is getting more and more like the Sword Pavilion.

Lu Yang had always believed in learning and living until old age, loving whatever line of work he was in. Since he had become a Sword Pavilion disciple now, he naturally had to immerse himself wholeheartedly into the Sword Pavilion.

Otherwise, what if someone saw through his flaws?

Waiting until Patriarch Nether Whisper entered meditation, Lu Yang sealed the cave abode. Then he took out a Mystic Pearl from his chest, which displayed a scene of sky-filling frost and snow.

In the center of the frost and snow, Arhat Fu Long sat hugging his knees, shivering all over.

“Senior… Senior!”

Before Lu Yang could finish speaking, Arhat Fu Long’s impatient voice came out: “This little monk has thought it through! Senior, please retract your divine ability quickly!”

Thought it through? A pity…

Lu Yang looked indifferent. Ignoring Arhat Fu Long’s pleas for mercy, he directly squeezed with one hand, actually crushing the Mystic Pearl imprisoning Arhat Fu Long!

Crack!

Instantly, magnificent colors were extinguished. Arhat Fu Long’s voice was instantly drowned in the severe frost. In just a blink of an eye, his body and soul scattered.

If possible, it would actually be best to follow his path. However, that so-called Buddha Child Guang Ming… sounds evil! It’s best not to get involved with him. The risk is too great. It’s better to let Hong Ju make a trip to [Moon Goddess’s Palace] for me; there’s still hope to get the [Xin Metal].

Lu Yang was still very rational.

So far, among the four major powers, the Pure Land made him the most apprehensive. So if he could avoid contamination, it was best not to get contaminated. As long as he didn’t do it, he wouldn’t make mistakes!

“Speaking of which, harvesting the [Divine Martial Sect]’s luck this time came just right!”

Lu Yang pinched his fingers to calculate, then revealed a look of joy.

“[Divining Luck Drawing Lots], draw for me!”

Boundless luck surged out, soon transforming into lines of text before Lu Yang:

[Event: Incarnation breaks through to Foundation Establishment.]

[Small Auspice: Foundation Establishment poses no difficulty for you. Although there are minor twists and turns, you still break through smoothly.]

[Small Ominous: Someone secretly plotted against you, causing your breakthrough to fail and you to perish again.]

[End Auspice: You encountered the schemes of someone with ulterior motives, but relying on perseverance and a bit of luck, you successfully withstood it and finally established your Dao Foundation.]

“…Schemes of someone with ulterior motives?”

Looking at the drawn lot fortune this time, Lu Yang suddenly frowned. “Strange. I have always been kind to others in the Sword Pavilion; how could someone plot against me?”

Fortunately, the [Divine Martial Sect]’s luck was abundant enough to let him draw a [Small Auspice].

In the next second, Lu Yang grabbed the [Small Auspice] lot fortune in his hand, then activated the [Marionette], looking towards the direction of his incarnation from afar.

…

Jiangnan, Jade Pivot Sword Pavilion, Extreme Heaven Cliff.

Clang!

As a resonant sword cry rang through the clouds, many Sword Pavilion Perfected Ones in seclusion were awakened one after another, then looked towards the direction where the sword cry came from.

“That is… the newly promoted Sword Seed?”

“He actually reached Foundation Establishment?”

“So fast… for a cultivator who offered incense in the Reception Hall, even if reincarnated from Foundation Establishment, returning to Foundation Establishment so quickly… indicates a very profound background from the past life.”

Such a commotion naturally alerted Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon as well, causing a trace of joy to appear in his eyes. But soon, this trace of joy turned into helplessness.

The joy was naturally because Lu Yang could return to Foundation Establishment; the helplessness was because he cultivated the Sword Lord’s Profound Discourse on Metal Mastery Secret Chapter, and from now on, his Dao path was hopeless.

Unless… I can succeed.

Thinking of this, a trace of struggle suddenly appeared in Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon’s eyes. He opened his storage bag and looked at the densely packed human heads inside.

None of them were dead.

However, the sword is a weapon of slaughter. If one wants to attain the [Sword Dao], how can there be a reason not to kill?

“…”

Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon lowered his eyelids, staring straight at the countless heads inside the storage bag that seemed like living people. For a moment, he appeared rather eerie and strange.

At the same time, inside the cave abode.

Lu Yang sat cross-legged, his gaze falling on a piece of jade in front of him, his expression slightly gloomy. This was the Foundation Establishment spiritual item provided to him by Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon.

Interacting with it during Foundation Establishment could increase the chance of success by ten percent.

However, in reality, this spiritual item not only didn’t help him establish his foundation but hindered him instead. If not for the enhancement of the lot fortune, there might really have been a possibility of failure!

Who exactly wants to harm me?

Lu Yang pondered in his heart. At the same time, he extended a finger, and a streak of Sword Qi swirled around his fingertip. With a flick, it exploded with a thunderous boom.

[Sword Dao] First Realm, [Sword Qi Thunder Sound]!

“Sword Qi at this level is nothing much, at most equivalent to a powerful Foundation Establishment Dao Technique. But if taken a step further, it’s different…”

[Sword Dao] Second Realm, [Sword Heart Illuminating Clarity]!

This realm benchmarked Foundation Establishment. Therefore, once [Sword Heart Illuminating Clarity] was cultivated, compared to other Foundation Establishment Perfected Ones, it was equivalent to having an extra Divine Ability without stature!

Thinking of this, Lu Yang suddenly reached out.

Beside him, a square [Sword Case] floated up out of thin air. It was about half the length of his body, entirely dark gold, looking ancient and steady at first glance.

However, in the next second.

As Lu Yang mustered his spiritual power, the [Sword Case] opened with a boom. Then, two brilliant sword lights surged out from it, instantly merging with him into one.

[Sword Divine Ability]!

As he expected, upon achieving Foundation Establishment, the two Great Void Divine Abilities he previously got from [Wu You Heaven] were also completely transformed into [Sword Divine Abilities] by the [Sword Case].

It’s just a pity that after Martial Uncle Chong Guang left, [Wu You Heaven] closed off its interior and exterior. I can no longer enter to challenge the levels and obtain Great Void Divine Abilities.

That said, this was a regret only Lu Yang could have.

After all, other people’s Great Void Divine Abilities didn’t have stature.

Only he could use the prototype of the [Dao Fruit] inside the [Myriad Spirits Banner] to enhance the stature, thereby transforming them into [Sword Divine Abilities]. Otherwise, it would also be drawing water with a bamboo basket—all in vain.

Regardless, I succeeded anyway.

With a thought from Lu Yang, the two [Sword Divine Abilities] emerged one after another. Added to the Life-Bound Divine Ability corresponding to the transformed [Eternal World-Contemplating Metal Sword Foundation].

Three Divine Abilities! Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Perfection!

If I add [Law Upholder], I am a genuine Foundation Establishment Late Stage Great Sword Cultivator! Looking at it this way, the incarnation has even surpassed the main body now!
