Struggling to Survive with Regression Power in the Primordial Saint Sect
Chapter 106: Entering the Banner

Although Lü Yang had deceived Ancestor Nether Wishper to obtain the earth vein, he had no intention of stopping, as the other party still held a batch of his witch ghosts.

Coincidentally, the Myriad Spirits Banner was currently lacking manpower.

"Recently, the industrial assembly line for the Myriad Spirits Banner's talismans has been restarted. Some banner spirits have exhausted their spirituality and self-destructed. It's about time to recruit a new batch."

After all, they were essentially the same batch of witch ghosts.

Rather than wasting time letting those witch ghosts, who could no longer work due to excessive spiritual depletion, rest, it was better to directly replace them with new ones.

Moreover, the replaced witch ghosts could be directly fed to the new ones, achieving waste utilization and resource recycling, allowing the new witch ghosts to enter work in a better state, improving talisman production efficiency, completing industrial scale upgrades, and achieving sustainable overfishing.

Subsequent developments were also basically the same as in Lü Yang's third lifetime.

Without him, True Person Yinshan indeed selected Zhao Xuhe. After a fierce battle, the Witch Ghost Secret Realm was successfully activated by True Person Yinshan and chose to emerge.

Then, the Golden Core Sword Qi dissipated, and the 【Heavenly Corpse Fiend】 was taken away by True Person Yinshan.

As a reward, Zhao Xuhe received the Ascension Order bestowed by True Person Yinshan and became increasingly complacent, as if he saw the day of Foundation Establishment in the future.

However, Lü Yang paid no attention to these matters.

In this lifetime, he always remained hidden in the shadows, only arriving deep within Skeleton Mountain after True Person Yinshan left, then releasing the aura of the 【Yama Palace】.

Moments later, a black shadow quietly appeared.

"Greetings, Ancestor!"

Lü Yang appeared excited as he performed a grand salute, while silently sensing Ancestor Nether Wishper's aura, ready to turn hostile at any moment.

"Rise."

After being possessed, Ancestor Nether Wishper appeared at first glance to be a handsome young man with red lips and white teeth. Although his tone was mature, his voice was extremely tender.

He looked solemnly at Lü Yang, seemingly contemplating something.

After a long while, he sighed softly, "Summon your guardian deity."

Lü Yang was momentarily stunned but did not hesitate. He immediately took out the Myriad Spirits Banner, summoned Su Nu, and prepared to act if anything seemed amiss.

"Hmm?"

Ancestor Nether Wishper seemed unaware of Lü Yang's abnormality. His gaze immediately fell on Lü Yang's Myriad Spirits Banner. After observing for a moment, he couldn't help but praise, "What a marvelous treasure! Not a spiritual treasure, but surpasses one. It perfectly aligns with the orthodoxy of our Witch Ghost Path, truly adding wings to a tiger!"

"Ancestor flatters me. This item is called the Myriad Spirits Banner."

Lü Yang smiled slightly, "I obtained it by chance. Thanks to this treasure, I was able to pass down the sect's inheritance."

Ancestor Nether Wishper nodded upon hearing this.

"That's good. I was initially worried about how you would accommodate the myriad witch ghosts of our sect and considered helping you. Now it seems I need not trouble myself."

He then looked at Su Nu, frowning slightly, "Your guardian deity is well-crafted, but unfortunately, it has the craftsmanship without adaptability. In the past, the 【Yama Palace】 was tailor-made for myself. Since you rely on this guardian deity, you should learn to adapt to circumstances."

After speaking, he formed a hand seal with his right hand, silently calculating for a moment.

Soon, Ancestor Nether Wishper reopened his eyes, cast a spell directly onto Su Nu and her 【Yama Palace】.

Boom!

The next second, divine light rose beneath Su Nu's feet. Within the light, seven seal characters of 【Yama Heaven Underworld Lord's Ghost Position】 appeared one after another.

However, as Ancestor Nether Wishper's spell changed, the form of the seal characters gradually transformed:

【Imperial Decree of the Nine Nether Pure Yin Primordial Lady Empress】!

With the change in seal characters, the divine power was completed. Su Nu's aura surged dramatically, restoring to fifty percent of her previous life's level without the support of the earth vein!

With the addition of the earth vein, she could even surpass her past life!

"Now it's good."

Seeing this, Ancestor Nether Wishper finally smiled with satisfaction, "With such a Foundation Establishment guardian deity, your future promotion to Foundation Establishment and reopening of the sect is more hopeful."

After speaking, he took out a transparent black sphere, which contained the myriad witch ghosts from the Witch Ghost Secret Realm.

Lü Yang even saw a slowly flowing turbid river inside.

As the former master of Skeleton Mountain in his previous life, he immediately recognized what it was.

"【Heavenly Corpse Fiend】?!"

True Person Yinshan did not take it away... no, he took one of them, but there was more than one Heavenly Corpse Fiend in the earth vein of Skeleton Mountain!

"This fiend is a yin earth entity, with the earth fiend position belonging to 【Zhi Xu】. It can gather fire and moisten metal. If you are willing, you can use this earth fiend to impact the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment in the future. If a strong enemy invades, you can also detonate it, destroying the eight hundred miles of earth vein in Skeleton Mountain and perishing together with the enemy."

Lü Yang knew all this.

However, in his previous life, Ancestor Nether Wishper only left these words in his soul thoughts, whereas in this life, he personally explained them in detail.

'Is he... entrusting me with his legacy?'

Lü Yang was somewhat puzzled. To be honest, he originally thought Ancestor Nether Wishper wouldn't have a particularly good attitude towards him, this so-called "successor" who suddenly appeared.

After all, he was the sect master of the Witch Ghost Path.

Now, living his fifth life again, with a great chance of returning to Foundation Establishment, he should be ambitious and unwilling to see anything beyond his control.

But now, it seemed otherwise.

At this moment, Ancestor Nether Wishper suddenly stopped speaking, glanced at Lü Yang, and then smiled, "If you have something to say, just say it."

Lü Yang hurriedly denied, "Ancestor misunderstands."

Ancestor Nether Wishper waved his hand, "You've made a name for yourself in the Saint Sect. Do you think I can't guess what you're thinking? Truly believing me would be strange!"

After speaking, he shook his head bitterly.

"My lifespan in this life is limited. I originally intended to escape the secret realm and go overseas to find a deserted island to pass down the Witch Ghost Path's inheritance."

"If there could be a Foundation Establishment to oversee it, that would be even better."

"Now, with you, I've saved a lot of effort. Since you can cultivate to this level in the Saint Sect and still survive, I'm assured of your abilities."

"After all, in the latter half of my life, my only pursuit is the sect's inheritance."

As his words fell, Ancestor Nether Wishper's expression gradually returned to calm. He looked at Lü Yang and said lightly, "Alright, place me into your Myriad Spirits Banner."

Lü Yang was stunned upon hearing this, "Ancestor, you want to enter the banner?"

"I am a sinner of the sect. If I hadn't been obstinate back then, the sect wouldn't have suffered such a catastrophe."

"For the rest of my life, I've been making up for the mistakes I made in the past. Since that's the case, I should contribute my last bit of strength to the sect."

After speaking, Ancestor Nether Wishper smiled again, "Besides, this way, you'll feel more at ease, right?"

"Then I shall respectfully comply."

Lü Yang did not object. He immediately activated the Myriad Spirits Banner, opening a black hole.

Ancestor Nether Wishper nodded upon seeing this and stepped in without hesitation.

Swish—

The next second, Lü Yang raised the flagpole and slammed it heavily onto the ground. A dull roar spread rapidly in all directions along with the shadows.

"Boom!"

Where the shadows passed, the 【Yama Palace】 reopened.

Countless ghost soldiers in armor emerged, surrounding Lü Yang like stars around the moon.

The witch ghosts varied in strength, from early-stage Qi Refining to mid-stage, late-stage, and even great perfection, all clearly distinguished and orderly, like a real army.

Not to mention the over-spec banner spirits like the Mending Heaven Peak master's split soul, Ancestor Nether Wishper, and the guardian deity Su Nu.

Undoubtedly, this spiritual treasure had become even more terrifying!

Moreover, thanks to the cleansing of the 【Book of a Hundred Lifetimes】, Lü Yang no longer had to worry about any troublesome karmic entanglements on it and could use it with confidence!

"It's time."

The next second, Lü Yang no longer concealed his aura.

The fiendish energy soared into the sky, instantly alarming the entire Skeleton Mountain!

Almost simultaneously, True Person Yinshan, who had just collected the 【Heavenly Corpse Fiend】 and was about to leave, turned back in astonishment, looking towards the direction of the soaring fiendish energy.

However, at this moment, he saw no one.

All he saw was the towering 【Yama Palace】 sitting in the sky, swallowing earth fiend energy, with countless witch ghosts in the center, flags flying!
