Chapter 32: Target, Liu Xin!
[You were pressed to death by the Mending Heaven Peak Lord with a single finger.]
[Current Hundred Lifetimes Book remaining pages: 95]
[Reopen a lifetime, you can choose one of the following gains from your previous life:
One: Treasure.
Two: Cultivation.
Three: Lifespan.
Four: Give up all gains and randomly Awaken a talent based on your past life's experience]
"The person whose name is called, come to me."
Liu Xin's voice came from the stage, but Lu Yang did not recover for a long time this time, his mind seemed to still be stuck on the angry sword strike from his previous life.
"An ant trying to shake a great tree, that's not wrong."
Lu Yang let out a deep breath; despite witnessing the gap between him and a Foundation Establishment True Person, he did not feel disheartened, but rather his fighting spirit grew stronger.
With the [hundred lifetimes book], what doesn't kill him only makes him stronger.
It's nothing more than starting over.
Thinking of this, Lu Yang looked at the [hundred lifetimes book] interface again. In his previous life, he single-mindedly Cultivated, possessing nothing but Qi Refining sixth-level Cultivation.
However, he could not choose Cultivation.
After all, as long as the hidden danger of the Nine Transformations Dragon Transformation Art remained, he could not Cultivate this Cultivation Technique, otherwise it would be like carrying a ticking time bomb.
"I choose talent."
[Calculating your past life experience.]
[After your death, the deed of drawing your sword to strike a Foundation Establishment was spread. Countless people mocked you for overestimating yourself, but they didn't know that you were not without accomplishment.]
[Although you still didn't harm the Foundation Establishment True Person in the slightest, just as you were about to be pressed to death, you miraculously Broke Through a Bottleneck in sword techniques, forcing the Mending Heaven Peak Lord to exert more Qi to press you to death, afterwards sighing that although you were just an ant, you still Had Some Skill.]
[You have Awakened the purple talent · Has Some Skill.]
[Has Some Skill: No matter how terrifying the attack, as long as it is within your ability limit, you can freely handle it two times.]
"What kind of talent is this?"
Lu Yang frowned. At first glance, this seemed like a divine skill of absolute defense, but the "within ability limit" in the talent description seemed to detract from it a bit.
However, he quickly stopped dwelling on it. After all, the reason he chose talent was just to avoid the hidden danger of Cultivating the Nine Transformations Dragon Transformation Art in his previous life. If the talent was strong, that was naturally best; if it was weak, it didn't matter. Compared to this, Lu Yang was more concerned about whether there was a way to avoid the Mending Heaven Peak Lord's deductions.
"If it really doesn't work, I'll just have to give up the Nine Transformations Dragon Transformation Art."
"Lu Yang."
"...Here!"
Liu Xin's voice from the stage brought Lu Yang back to his senses, and he quickly walked up to the high platform. Liu Xin, just like in previous lives, assigned him to Joyfull Union Hall.
The next second, Lu Yang suddenly froze.
"Wait. I remember, my Innate One Qi Myriad Spirits Banner seemed to have a powerful character refined into it by Liu Xin, most likely a True Disciple of the Primordial Sect."
This isn't right.
He just Cultivated a Cultivation Technique, and the Mending Heaven Peak Lord used Karma to trace him down. Liu Xin, on the other hand, killed a True Disciple!
How could he still be alive?
Thinking of this, Lu Yang's eyes suddenly blazed with sharp light, staring intently at Liu Xin on the stage.
"That's it, the only explanation is that he has a wondrous Magic Treasure in his hand that can obscure Karma, preventing even a Foundation Establishment True Person from deducing any information about him!"
In an instant, Lu Yang's mind became fully active.
Immediately afterward, he changed his strategy, instead replicating his actions from the first life, directly killing Yu Suzhen in public, successfully attracting Liu Xin's attention.
He obtained half a volume of the Innate Dao Book from Liu Xin.
He entered seclusion to Cultivate.
Then, as he expected, on a dark and windy night, the well-prepared Liu Xin hummed a tune and arrived at the entrance of his Immortal Cave.
"Junior Brother Lu, are you there?"
Lu Yang did not speak.
Liu Xin, seeing this, was not surprised. Instead, he revealed a cold smile, then patiently opened his Storage Pouch, taking out Formation Flags one by one and arranging them around.
These were Formations used for soundproofing and creating illusions, ensuring that no matter what happened inside, nothing would be detected outside. Liu Xin had done similar things many times, and no one had ever linked it to him. Even if someone used Karma deduction—
Thinking of this, Liu Xin touched the pocket in his embrace and smiled confidently.
Even if someone used Karma deduction, it would be useless!
Soon, when the Formation was set up, Liu Xin no longer concealed himself. He directly unleashed his True Qi, split open Lu Yang's Immortal Cave with a sword, and then strode inside.
"Junior Brother Lu, don't hide. Senior Brother needs a talent like you—!?"
Liu Xin's voice stopped abruptly.
Inside the Immortal Cave, Lu Yang was sitting cross-legged on a meditation cushion, looking at him with a half-smile, completely unlike someone who had Cultivated half of an Innate Dao Book!
"...No!"
In an instant, Liu Xin's pupils contracted sharply, and a flag banner had already appeared in his hand.
However, it was too late.
The next second, as a red light flashed, Liu Xin felt as if most of his True Qi and flesh had been instantly drained, and he stumbled, falling to the ground!
Blood Wash Heavenly River Sword Formation Diagram!
Lu Yang had already set up the Formation Diagram at the entrance of the Immortal Cave, so Liu Xin's forceful entry into the Immortal Cave was tantamount to walking into a trap, and he was naturally easily subdued.
"Senior Brother, I've been waiting for a long time."
Looking at the fallen Liu Xin, and recalling how he had been tricked to death in his first life, Lu Yang immediately sneered,
"You're finally in my hands!"
If our roles were reversed, I'd show you what cruelty is!
"Who exactly are you!?"
Liu Xin lay paralyzed on the ground, unable to muster any strength, yet completely bewildered by the situation. Had he been schemed against? And by a newly initiated Disciple?
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
"Are you a spy from a Righteous Path School? Wait, don't kill me, I'm useful to you. I have a superior Dao Book that can help you achieve Foundation Establishment True Person!"
In this critical moment, Liu Xin no longer cared about anything and directly revealed his biggest secret.
"Besides that, I also have a Magic Treasure. Inside it hides a Primordial Sect True Disciple. He knows many secrets of the Primordial Sect. No, the Primordial Demonic School."
"As long as you let me go, all of this is yours—"
Before Liu Xin finished speaking, Lu Yang directly activated the Blood Transmutation Divine Light, completely sucking him into a human skin: "Fool, if I kill you, it's still mine!"
"Even you are mine!"
Immediately afterward, Lu Yang reached out and grabbed the Innate One Qi Myriad Spirit Banner, then shook the banner and swept it over Liu Xin's corpse.
In his previous-previous life, he had read the Innate Dao Book, so he naturally knew how to activate this Magic Treasure.
Liu Xin's corpse fell into the banner, immediately steaming and transforming into Qi. It was refined in the banner for a long time before Lu Yang shook the banner surface, causing it to manifest again.
However, the Liu Xin who reappeared had already become the Banner Spirit on the Myriad Spirits Banner. Lu Yang had deliberately preserved his memories, so when Liu Xin revived, he immediately looked at Lu Yang in disbelief: "Junior Brother Lu—impossible! How could you know how to activate the Myriad Spirits Banner?"
"What did you call me?"
Lu Yang sneered: "Do I need to teach you what attitude a Banner Spirit should have towards its banner master? Or do you want your Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering?"
"Your Excellency, spare my life! Liu Xin greets Your Excellency!"
Liu Xin's legs instantly went weak, and he knelt on the ground. Despite retaining all his memories from when he was alive, he could not feel the slightest hatred towards Lu Yang, who had personally killed him.
Every thought contained only absolute loyalty.
This was the domineering aspect of the Myriad Spirits Banner. The Banner Spirit, at first glance, seemed no different from a living person, but in reality, its will had long been taken away, making it difficult to truly act autonomously.
