Struggling to Survive with Regression Power in the Primordial Saint Sect

Lu Yang looked at the illusion in his sea of consciousness. This was the result of completing the 『Scripture of Sensing the Mysterious Spiritʼs Response』—something akin to a divine ability but not quite, resembling a spiritual treasure yet not exactly.

Its name was: 【Mandating Destiny and Upholding Precepts】.

Through it, Lu Yang also learned the name of the fruit position in the Mysterious Spirit Realm: 【Controller of Fate】, implying that all things in heaven and earth have their predetermined destinies.

In fact, the overall structure of the 【Mysterious Spirit Realm】 was precisely like this, with the heavenly court reigning supreme and the five immortals under its orderly governance.

However, since the heavenly court of the 【Mysterious Spirit Realm】 hadnʼt truly achieved total control over heaven and earth and the destinies of all beings, this fruit position likely still had room for growth.

Unfortunately, before that could happen, it was attacked by the Holy Sect.

As a result, the endeavor collapsed halfway through, and now the heavenly court is fragmented. The fruit position has fallen into this world, and itʼs only a matter of time before itʼs completely devoured.

As for 【Mandating Destiny and Upholding Precepts】, it was a marvel derived from the 【Controller of Fate】 fruit position.

What does it mean to mandate destiny?

What does it mean to uphold precepts?

”The so-called mandating destiny is actually a method of weaving fortune, directing limited fortune towards a specific direction to maximize its effect.”

”And upholding precepts is the method of restraining fortune.”

”After mandating destiny, one must accept a precept. As long as the precept isnʼt violated, the blessing of the mandated destiny can be maintained. However, once the precept is broken, fortune will immediately backlash.”

Similar methods also existed in the 【Mysterious Spirit Realm】, though with different effects. Cultivators in the Mysterious Spirit Realm, although not subjected to the erosion of soul by the Bi Feng, faced the ”Disaster of Dao Transformation,” so they needed to uphold precepts to counteract it. This was one of the reasons for the strict immortal laws established in the 【Mysterious Spirit Realm】.

”If I were to mandate destiny for myself...”

With a thought, the illusion in Lu Yangʼs sea of consciousness immediately reflected back, and he sensed a response. A look of surprise appeared in his eyes:

”...It should be the 【Pomegranate Wood Destiny】!”

This was the destiny Lu Yang had annotated for himself.

”With this destinyʼs blessing, I can establish a connection with the 【Pomegranate Wood】 fruit position, which will greatly aid in awakening my innate divine ability and in future pursuits of gold!”

The only issue was the precept that needed to be strictly observed to maintain this destiny.

”From now on, I need to uphold the precept of chastity, absolutely refraining from self-restraint, and must engage in dual cultivation with others daily... This, this is too challenging for me!”

Lu Yang felt the feedback from 【Mandating Destiny and Upholding Precepts】 and showed a troubled expression.

Although he wasnʼt a lustful person, for the sake of cultivation, even if he was internally reluctant, he had to sacrifice his personal desires for the greater good!

Several thousand days later.

Lu Yangʼs true body awakened from meditation, opened his eyes, and then showed an expectant expression: ”Finally, itʼs here... My long wait wasnʼt in vain!”

Daoist Dangmo had come!

This Foundation Establishment Realm grandmaster from the Sword Pavilion truly kept his promise, personally deducing karma and traveling thousands of miles to find the reincarnated soul of Lu Yangʼs split soul.

Coincidentally, the split soul was now eight years old.

During this period, Lu Yang hadnʼt been idle either, focusing on cultivation and digesting the gains from the 【Southern Heavenly Gate】. His cultivation had reached the critical point.

”Mid-stage Foundation Establishment Realm, after 【Upholding the Law】 comes perfection!”

”The next step is to undergo the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, thereby officially breaking through to the late-stage Foundation Establishment Realm! This is another major hurdle on the path of cultivation...”

Heavenly Thunder Tribulation!
