Struggling to Survive with Regression Power in the Primordial Saint Sect
Chapter 90: Refining the Guardian Deity

Primordial Saint Sect, Mending Heaven Peak.

Just as Xiao Shiye drew the colorful Merit Fish and began refining it, Yu Suzhen made her move.

Activating Stealing Heaven’s Secrets, Xiao Shiye was instantly drained to death.

The immense cultivation and fortune that allowed a mortal to reach the peak of Qi Refining overnight were effortlessly absorbed by Yu Suzhen.

In an instant, Yu Suzhen's cultivation surged!

Everything happened so quickly that even Yu Suzhen herself didn't have time to react.

However, this did not hinder her ecstasy.

Could this be her opportunity?

"Am I about to ascend in one step?"

The very next second, a familiar sensation suddenly spread from her dantian, swiftly engulfing her entire body.

This was Stealing Heaven’s Secrets!?

Yu Suzhen's expression changed dramatically.

She sensed, in disbelief, that her cultivation, which should have broken through to the peak of Qi Refining, was rapidly declining.

She was all too familiar with this feeling.

During this period, she had surpassed countless disciples and created numerous cauldrons.

Yet, only at this moment did she realize that she herself was someone else's cauldron!

But when did it happen?

Who had acted against her without her knowledge?

Soon, a sense of weakness welled up in her heart.

Joy turned to sorrow.

Terror replaced ecstasy.

The feeling of being slowly drained to death twisted Yu Suzhen's delicate face.

She couldn't help but cry out loudly:

"Wait, wait a moment..."

Before she could finish speaking, the suction force suddenly doubled.

In the next second, Yu Suzhen's energy plummeted to the bottom.

Her entire true qi, cultivation, fortune, and even her soul were drained, flowing out of the sect.

Almost simultaneously, two cracks suddenly appeared in Yu Suzhen's cave dwelling.

Immediately after, two figures stepped out from the cracks, one after the other.

Their gazes instantly fell upon Yu Suzhen's corpse.

"One step too late."

Daoist Hong Yun's expression remained calm.

Only his pair of bone-chilling eyes revealed his current fury.

The next second, he turned his head, his gaze fixed intently on the Mending Heaven Peak Master:

"Chen Taihe, do you wish to fight me?"

Throughout the entire sect, everyone knew his condition.

Anyone who dared to snatch the bait he used to fish for fortune was effectively shortening his lifespan and would inevitably face his fiercest retaliation.

Therefore, even the True Person Chongguang, who had the greatest conflict with him, dared not make a move.

After all, his status was too high.

Even though he was no longer what he used to be, he was still incomparable to ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators.

However, Daoist Hong Yun never expected that the Mending Heaven Peak Master, with whom he had only minor disputes, would obscure causality and commit such a significant act!

"Daoist Hong Yun, please calm down."

Compared to the furious Daoist Hong Yun, the Mending Heaven Peak Master appeared quite composed:

"The one who acted is the junior who previously took away the Panlong inheritance."

"Following this thread of energy, if we pursue him, we might still retrieve that colorful Merit Fish."

"Although it will inevitably suffer some damage, it's better than nothing."

"Of course, if you insist on fighting me, I don't mind experiencing the style of the former True Lord."

The Mending Heaven Peak Master also did not intend to completely offend Daoist Hong Yun.

After all, he merely wanted to sell Chongguang a favor.

As long as he reduced Daoist Hong Yun's gains, it was sufficient.

There was no need to leave him empty-handed.

This way, he wouldn't be regarded by Daoist Hong Yun as a thorn in the eye.

At most, their relationship would deteriorate.

It wasn't great to begin with.

With the formidable enemy Chongguang ahead, it wasn't a big deal.

Everything was within his plan.

The Mending Heaven Peak Master smiled indifferently.

Then, he calculated with his fingers and quickly found Lü Yang's location.

He immediately took a step forward, crossing the void in pursuit.

Daoist Hong Yun gritted his teeth slightly upon seeing this but could only follow closely behind.

Meanwhile, within the Witch Ghost Secret Realm.

As a stream of light traversed the void and arrived, Lü Yang suddenly opened his eyes.

While revealing a look of joy, he also glanced solemnly in the direction of the Primordial Saint Sect.

"Old bastard... as expected, you harbor ill intentions towards me!"

Lü Yang exhaled a breath but did not panic.

He had anticipated that the Mending Heaven Peak Master and Daoist Hong Yun would pursue him.

In fact, it was exactly what he wanted!

Thinking of this, Lü Yang looked at the Innate Primordial Qi Divine Talisman in his arms.

The next second, he removed this treasure that could obscure causality, voluntarily leaving its protection, and instead sent it into the Witch Ghost Secret Realm!

"At this point, there's no point in hiding my causality."

"On the contrary, the causality of the Witch Ghost Secret Realm needs to be concealed."

"Once the Mending Heaven Peak Master arrives and fails to deduce that this is the Witch Ghost Secret Realm, and opens it without authorization, the Golden Core sword qi inside can give him a severe blow."

Thinking of this, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in Lü Yang's eyes.

"Although the sect's foundation is far beyond that of the Witch Ghost Path, and the Mending Heaven Peak Master is the master of a peak, he might possess life-saving items at the Golden Core level."

"But even so, he can't remain unscathed under a Golden Core sword qi."

"At that time, if I can refine a Foundation Establishment Guardian Deity, I can take advantage of the situation to strike him down and avenge the humiliation of being killed by a single finger in my previous life."

Thinking of this, Lü Yang dared not delay.

"Begin refining the Guardian Deity immediately!"

Activating Stealing Heaven’s Secrets, the light in his hand dispersed, revealing Yu Suzhen's bewildered soul and the vast cultivation and fortune belonging to the colorful Merit Fish.

The next second, Lü Yang unfurled the Myriad Spirits Banner.

The banner emitted a dark light, and thousands of witch ghosts roared in unison.

Among them were the eight red-clothed ghosts required for cultivating the 【Xuanming Underworld Lord's Ghost Position】.

As the banner waved, the 【Yama Palace】, once displayed by Master Nether Wishper, reappeared.

"The Great Incarnation Universal Divine Method!"

Lü Yang formed a hand seal without stopping.

His vast spiritual consciousness transformed into a large hand, enveloping Yu Suzhen's soul, grasping it tightly, and instantly refining it.

"Ah—!"

Yu Suzhen's wail immediately rang out but quickly weakened.

Then, it transformed into a ball of spiritual light, condensing into a new soul.

The new soul was identical to Yu Suzhen in every way.

However, inside and out, it had been completely refined by Lü Yang.

At this moment, her eyes stared blankly at Lü Yang.

Soon, the soul gradually solidified.

The originally naked delicate body was finally covered by a thin veil.

The snow-white dress bloomed like a lotus, and a pair of petite, delicate bare feet hovered in mid-air.

At this point, the Guardian Deity was considered refined.

However, Lü Yang was still not at ease.

After all, he intended for her to feign Foundation Establishment.

But if she became too strong and escaped his control, what then?

Such things must be guarded against.

After all, he didn't want to hear one day, "What a Yu Suzhen, truly a hero among the world," which would be truly amusing.

Therefore, he did not stop.

Instead, he waved the Myriad Spirits Banner, collecting the Guardian Deity back into the banner.

At the same time, he engraved numerous self-destruct restrictions onto Yu Suzhen's soul.

With triple safeguards, as long as she harbored any thoughts of betrayal, she would be doomed instantly, ensuring Lü Yang would not suffer backlash.

Thus, after a while.

As Lü Yang formed a seal, Yu Suzhen's blank eyes suddenly lit up.

Like adding the finishing touch to a dragon, her stagnant thoughts resumed operation at this moment.

The next second, she looked at Lü Yang.

Her plump delicate body slowly knelt down.

Her fair forehead pressed tightly against the ground.

Her clear and pleasant voice was filled with obedience:

"Slave greets Master."

Lü Yang nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this:

"You are no longer the soul of the past."

"From now on, you shall be called Su Nu."

As a Guardian Deity, with the Myriad Spirits Banner and self-destruct restrictions, Su Nu's life and death were now at his whim.

There was no need to worry about her betraying him at a critical moment.

"Return to your position."

With a thought from Lü Yang, Su Nu, who had been refined into a Guardian Deity, floated up and landed in the 【Yama Palace】, sitting on the main seat.

Immediately after, Lü Yang infused the fortune of the colorful Merit Fish into the 【Yama Palace】.

The fortune burned like fire, as if tempering refined iron, gradually forging the originally simple and assembled 【Yama Palace】 into a cohesive whole.

However, at this moment—

"Boom!"

A loud noise rang out.

Lü Yang suddenly looked up.

His gaze pierced through the Witch Ghost Secret Realm and saw a void crack suddenly appear above Skeleton Mountain.

The Mending Heaven Peak Master and Daoist Hong Yun stepped out.

The formidable enemies had arrived!
