Chapter 76: Tale of the Superhuman Cultivator

“As expected, the more beautiful a woman is, the more deceitful she becomes.”

Witnessing Liu Xin's tragic fate in this lifetime—poisoned by Yu Suzhen and ultimately drained dry through dual cultivation techniques—Lü Yang felt a surge of satisfaction in his heart:

‘That's what you get for harming me in my second lifetime.’

Subsequently, Lü Yang turned his gaze towards Yu Suzhen.

He did not reveal himself but instead cast an illusion, swapping out the Innate True Qi Myriad Spirits Banner.

As for the 『Innate Dao Book』, Lü Yang still left a copy for Yu Suzhen, but he removed the content related to the Myriad Spirits Banner and inserted the technique of Stealing Heaven’s Secrets.

As he had anticipated, when Yu Suzhen saw this dual cultivation secret technique, she was almost immediately captivated.

“Stealing Heaven’s Secrets allows one to seize another's cultivation and fate through dual cultivation.”

Yu Suzhen's eyes burned with intensity as she perused the contents of Stealing Heaven’s Secrets, feeling as if this technique was tailor-made for her!

With this realization, Yu Suzhen's ambition swelled instantly.

Previously, she merely aspired to immortality through cultivation but lacked a clear path to achieve it.

Now, she had found her method.

After all, for Yu Suzhen, seducing men was far easier than cultivating.

Given her aptitude, she had only reached the first level of Qi Refining after spending so much time in the Pleasure Hall.

Even if she dedicated her entire life, she might only attain the third level of Qi Refining.

However, if she could master the Stealing Heaven’s Secrets technique, with her beauty, she could cast a wide net, reel in numerous men, and specifically target those with exceptional talent.

By establishing a vast pond of cultivators, her progress would undoubtedly be rapid!

She might even reach the Foundation Establishment Realm!

The more Yu Suzhen contemplated, the more fervent her heart became.

She then used Corpse Dissolving Water to eliminate Liu Xin and the young disciple's corpses, meticulously cleaning the scene.

Three months later, within the cave dwelling.

“You wretched woman! You actually poisoned me?”

Observing the man, whose body was now battered and on the verge of collapse, Yu Suzhen showed no interest in responding, merely continuing her aggressive advance.

For a moment, the cave dwelling echoed with the man's anguished cries.

Thus, the man's body visibly withered at an alarming rate, while Yu Suzhen's complexion grew increasingly radiant.

Boom!

With a soft sound, Yu Suzhen's aura suddenly surged, breaking through the bottleneck of the third level of Qi Refining and reaching the mid-stage.

At this moment, nourished by true Qi, Yu Suzhen even appeared somewhat holy.

However, her actions did not cease, adding a touch of depravity to her sanctity, creating a powerful visual impact.

Meanwhile, Lü Yang remained hidden nearby, witnessing the entire process.

In just three months, he had personally observed Yu Suzhen seducing various disciples, advancing from the first to the third level of Qi Refining, and eventually surpassing them all.

By seducing men, she could become stronger!

Yu Suzhen also paid great attention to her reputation, engaging only in clandestine affairs, maintaining a facade of aloofness and pride, showing no interest in any man publicly.

The more aloof and proud Yu Suzhen appeared, the more people were drawn to her.

Thus, in just three months, Yu Suzhen had lured numerous lust-driven fools and used the Stealing Heaven’s Secrets technique to drain them completely.

“Looking at it this way, if it weren't for my syphilis-induced death in the first lifetime, she would have killed Liu Xin. Even without the Stealing Heaven’s Secrets technique, she could have obtained the Innate Dao Book and the Myriad Spirits Banner. Perhaps she could have soared just the same. The fate and karma of people are indeed mysterious.”

“In any case, the bait has been cast.”

Undoubtedly, Yu Suzhen possessed potential.

Ruthless, venomous, and shameless, she was willing to do anything beneficial for herself, practically a natural-born disciple of the Primordial Saint Sect.

She merely lacked an opportunity.

Now, Lü Yang had given her this chance, allowing her to grow rapidly.

More importantly, at this rate, she would encounter Xiao Shiye.

Lü Yang wanted to see if she had the opportunity to climb into Xiao Shiye's bed.

If she could indeed engage in dual cultivation with Xiao Shiye, then he would profit immensely, because Xiao Shiye would eventually catch the colorful merit fish in the Merit Pool!

If he could use Yu Suzhen to transform Xiao Shiye into a cauldron for the Stealing Heaven’s Secrets technique, then when Xiao Shiye caught and refined the colorful merit fish, he could suddenly act, using Yu Suzhen as an intermediary, to steal all the cultivation and fate of the colorful merit fish!

Daoist Hong Yun used Xiao Shiye as bait to catch the merit fish.

He, on the other hand, used Yu Suzhen as bait to steal the donkey!

This plan was tantamount to snatching food from a tiger's mouth.

If it truly succeeded, it would undoubtedly infuriate Daoist Hong Yun, who would stop at nothing to investigate.

“Therefore, I must stay far away.”

Carrying the Myriad Spirits Banner, Lü Yang observed Yu Suzhen for a few more days.

After confirming everything was in order, he quietly left the Primordial Saint Sect, heading swiftly towards the mundane world.

Staying in the Primordial Saint Sect offered no benefits.

After all, he was officially declared dead.

Remaining in the sect would only force him to hide in the shadows, silently awaiting the 'death and subsequent transformation' and Yu Suzhen's cultivation.

That would be a waste of time.

“Yu Suzhen is the most crucial part of my plan in this lifetime, but not the only one.

Even if I master the Stealing Heaven’s Secrets and the 『Taiyin Shedding Form Corpse Dissolution True Method』, along with the Saint's Theft and third-grade true Qi, I only have a forty percent chance of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

I must find other ways.”

“Moreover, staying far away has its advantages.”

After all, if Yu Suzhen's plan succeeded and a Foundation Establishment True Person became enraged, searching for karma, hiding in the Primordial Saint Sect would be tantamount to seeking death.

However, if he were far away, even if the Foundation Establishment True Person became furious, it would take time to find him.

This time gap would be sufficient for him to attempt breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Lü Yang would not place his hopes on 'possibly not being discovered.'

After all, in his previous life, the Yun Clan patriarch had used a device to calculate and locate him.

He would only consider the worst-case scenario.

As for Yu Suzhen, Lü Yang only needed to occasionally deduce karma, observe her, and ensure her actions remained under his control.

After leaving the Primordial Saint Sect, Lü Yang felt as if the sky was vast and the sea boundless.

“My corpse is hidden within the Myriad Spirits Banner.

This mysterious treasure contains a world within and is the only one capable of housing my transforming corpse, allowing me to carry it with me.”

Besides that, there was another opportunity within the Myriad Spirits Banner that

Besides that, there was another opportunity within the Myriad Spirits Banner that deeply intrigued him.

Lü Yang formed a hand seal and unfurled the banner—instantly, black smoke surged forth.

A handsome youth in black robes descended from the banner.

He was a true disciple of the Primordial Saint Sect—Chen Xin’an.

In his past life, Lü Yang had not kept Chen Xin’an due to his low cultivation and an experiment with the 『Innate Primordial Qi Divine Talisman』 to obscure destiny.

But things were different now.

Having mastered the Saint’s Theft technique and gained an official identity, Lü Yang was brimming with confidence.

“Where is this place?”

Just emerging from the Myriad Spirits Banner, Chen Xin’an appeared disoriented.

He instinctively looked around for Liu Xin, then frowned.

“Liu Xin is dead?”

After thinking for a moment, Chen Xin’an’s expression relaxed, and he turned to face Lü Yang.

“Which sect do you belong to? Did you kill Liu Xin?”

“Yes,” Lü Yang nodded calmly.

Unlike in his previous life, Chen Xin’an did not recognize him as a disciple of the Primordial Saint Sect at a glance.

Lü Yang understood why.

In this life, he had never lit the Life Lamp in the sect.

He had also used illusions to deceive others.

On top of that, his main cultivation technique was now the 『Nine Transformations Dragon Art』, not a secret method of the Primordial Saint Sect.

These reasons combined led to Chen Xin’an’s misjudgment.
