Struggling to Survive with Regression Power in the Primordial Saint Sect

In the next moment, she suddenly opened her mouth. A heavenly tone burst forth from her lips, shattering gold and stone, attempting to soar from the hall and resound across all Tianwu City:

“Summon the Three Dukes to enter the palace and rescue the sovereign!”

This call for help was without any reservation. Even if it couldn’t escape the harem, as long as the Crown Prince Longxing heard it, he could at least offer some aid.

Yet immediately after, dazzling divine light burst from behind Lu Yang, as if unrolling a breathtaking painting. Mountains, rivers, and grand peaks surged from flat earth; the heavens rose with sun, moon, and stars—interweaving into a vast domain that swallowed Empress Xiao’s cry for help entirely.

【Chongli Imperial Edict Mountains and Seas Map】！

This innate divine ability unfurled as though heaven and earth had changed. It instantly isolated Empress Xiao from the outside world. What shocked her even more was—

“A Blessed Land!?”

For a moment, Empress Xiao was stunned: ‘A Blessed Land… only those who’ve perfected Foundation Establishment can refine one. But this person clearly cultivated through the Incense Fire God Path…’

At that thought, she hurriedly formed a hand seal.

“Disperse!”

【Seven Luminaries Heaven】emerged in her palm. A beam of light fell directly onto Lu Yang, yet his perfected Foundation Establishment position did not fluctuate in the slightest.

Seeing this, Empress Xiao finally understood:

‘This demonic dragon… did not reach Foundation Establishment Perfection via the Incense Fire God Path, but by cultivating his own nature. He had already achieved complete divine abilities!’

But how could this be possible?

The thought chilled her: ‘According to the records, when this demonic dragon entered Jiangdong, he was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment!’

And now, how long had it been?

One year? Two?

Even with the blessing of official position, the true dragon background, and【Immortal Nation Dao Law】accelerating cultivation, reaching mid-stage Foundation Establishment was already impressive.

But Foundation Establishment Perfection? And not just ordinary perfection—he had already condensed a Blessed Land! Such cultivation speed—he must either be a reincarnated True Lord, or a World-Honored One hunting small fish.

And reincarnated True Lords… the only one in the last five thousand years was Hong Yun. So that option was out.

‘Then it must be the World-Honored One!’

Empress Xiao took a deep breath. Radiant light gradually surrounded her, making her already peerless beauty even more sacred and untouchable.

A radiance coalesced behind her head, eventually forming a full moon halo—pure and flawless. Lu Yang showed a look of surprise; in his past life, he too had achieved Foundation Establishment Perfection using【Seven Luminaries Heaven】. He recognized it instantly.

That full moon halo was clearly a manifestation of divine ability.

‘【Exquisite Heart】, 【True Qi Containment】, 【Union Technique】, 【Heaven-Bearing Principle】, 【Unity with the World】… all five of these outer-path divine abilities are the same as mine.’

And not just those.

For Empress Xiao also held the【Roadside Earth】official position. At this moment, heavenly radiance blazed above her head, and the title【Empress of Benevolent and Sacred Thought】also manifested divine ability.

“.Interesting.”

A smile surfaced in Lu Yang’s eyes. Though Empress Xiao’s strength was surprising, he happened to be in need of a fine whetstone right now!

In the next second, the entire Kunning Palace began to tremble slightly.

Back courtyard, outside Kunning Palace.

The Five Capital Garrison Commanders stood solemnly guarding the door, while the Crown Prince Longxing, previously expelled by Empress Xiao, paced nervously back and forth:

“Generals, is Mother alright? I still need her to manage the situation over here.”

“Please rest assured, Your Highness.”

The Five Capital Garrison Commanders responded in unison:

“Her Majesty merely said she wishes to enter seclusion for a period and commanded us to guard the doors. No one is to enter. We ask Your Highness to wait a moment.”

Hearing this, the Crown Prince felt a little irritated.

But Empress Xiao’s authority weighed heavily in his heart, so he didn’t dare retort. Turning back, he suddenly noticed the Kunning Palace was trembling and rumbling from within.

“What’s going on in there?”
