Chapter 311 The ups and downs of the sea
Lu Changan remembered that before he left the Liang Kingdom, the immortal realm of the Chen Kingdom was destroyed. The ancestor of the Yuanying of the Tianluo Sect had his physical body destroyed, and the Yuanying spirit body left the body to escape.
However, that was decades ago.
"Reporting to His Excellency Hei Xiao, Tianluo Sect suffered many major defeats in the war against the Demonic Dao, which made the leader of the Wei Dao alliance 'Chu Tianfeng' dissatisfied. A few years ago, the Tianluo ancestor was seriously injured again, and the Nascent Soul came out of the body. Now in Recuperate and regain strength. Alliance Leader Chu simply handed over the command of the Jing Kingdom's Immortal Cultivation World to Xuanyin Headmaster Liang Shaotian..."
Zhou Qingxuan responded and explained the details.
He was seriously injured again, and the Nascent Soul came out of his body?
Lu Changan feels weird. It seems that Patriarch Tianluo’s strength is about half as strong as Master Lihuo.
They are all in the same level as Yuanying, their strength is mediocre and not very outstanding.
The Yuanying True Monarch he was fighting against came from the top demonic sect in Daqing, so there was naturally some gap in strength.
Lu Changan was instinctively moved towards the Nascent Soul spirit body that had left his body.
But if you want to light up the fifth life, based on the vague information fed back by the Nine-Seal Monument, it is speculated that you need to swallow ten Nascent Souls, or one Nascent Soul that transforms into a god.
Lu Changan gave up the idea directly. The risk was extremely high and there was no profit.
This is not a plan that can be implemented at this stage.
“A major defeat for Tianluo Sect?”
Lu Changan is more interested in the affairs of the Jing Kingdom’s world of immortality.
This neutral country of cultivating immortals not only gave birth to the Son of Destiny, but also had heroes like Liang Shaotian sitting there, as well as ruthless bandits like Xiang Jinglong.
Lu Changan had been cultivating in the Jing Kingdom for many years and unearthed Xia Wenyue, the innate Taoist body.
Zhou Qingxuan stated that the Tianluo Sect had three major failures:
First, the Chen State was defeated too quickly and was captured by the Beast King Valley, leaving the Feng State trapped between two sides.
Second, Tianluo Sect was severely penetrated by the Wujian Sect, and intelligence was leaked many times, affecting the war situation and irritating the senior officials of the Weidao Alliance.
Third, a few years ago, the demonic way conquered half of the Jing Kingdom. At that time, the Tianluo Sect took command, but the result was a complete defeat. The Yuan Ying ancestor was seriously injured, and the Yuan Ying came out of the body again.
The leader of the Chu alliance was completely disappointed with the Tianluo Sect and gave command to the Xuanyin Sect.
Lu Changan was speechless after hearing this.
At that time, Tianluo Sect suppressed internal affairs and acted rampantly. The Xie family developed the sect into a family style and dominated the Chen Kingdom.
Domineering and invincible internally.
Fighting against demons in foreign wars, but my hips are stretched like this.
Not only that, the Tianluo Sect also brought their domineering style to the Jing Kingdom to compete for the spiritual territory.
The local forces in the Jing Kingdom were quite resentful towards the Tianluo Sect and would rather support the former Xuanyin Demon Sect.
Xuanyin Sect at least has strong execution ability and doesn't have so many tricks.
During the two serious injuries of Tianluo Patriarch, the command was temporarily handed over to the Xuanyin Sect, which stabilized the situation.
After the intervention of Zhenjun Lingyu, the Son of Fortune, the Demonic Dao did not dare to send Yuanying Qi to Jing Kingdom.
With neither side having the True Lord Nascent Soul, the Xuanyin Sect integrated all the major immortal cultivating forces in the Jing Kingdom and expelled the demonic army.
Of course, the success of the expulsion is also due to the reputation of Zhenjun Lingyu.
Liang Shaotian himself is actually not good at fighting.
However, his disciple Li Hai was good at commanding and strategizing.
Protector Xiang Jinglong, as a third-level physical practitioner, is good at fighting small-scale battles.
Liang Shaotian’s personal reputation was earned through fighting.
In the demonic battlefield, Liang Shaotian once killed the Dan Daxiu of the Beast King Valley. More demonic masters died in his hands, and his military exploits were outstanding.
He was undefeated against the "Peacock Saint", even though he was suppressed to a certain extent.
Liang Shaotian is known as the first alchemy-forming monk in the Wei Dao League.
After the Xuanyin Sect established its sect on the border of Jing State, it recruited many disciples, constantly drew new blood, and grew stronger day by day.
After the war, the Xuanyin Sect's strength increased instead of declining, becoming the number one cultivating force in the Jing Kingdom.
“After two hundred years of ups and downs, the notorious evil cultivator who was wanted by the sect has now become a giant in the world of immortality.”
Lu Changan recalled the first meeting with Liang Shaotian.
At that time, the other party was also a nobody.
An injured evil cultivator in the early stage of foundation building was chased and injured. His cultivation level fell for a time, and he was surrounded by dangers.
…
Half an hour later, the questioning of Zhou Qingxuan ended.
Lu Changan has a comprehensive understanding of the Demonic War situation in the Wei Dao League.
The main battlefield of the Wei Dao League is the Immortal Cultivation Realm of Feng Country. There are three major Nascent Soul Sects in this country.
The two countries Chen and Yan in the southwest have been captured by Beast King Valley.
The Feng Kingdom has a vast territory and rich resources, and the Immortal Cultivation Sect has many powerful families. It is the most difficult bone for the Demonic Dao to crack, and it is also the backbone of the Defending Dao Alliance.
As long as the Feng Kingdom is destroyed, it means that the situation of the entire Wei Dao Alliance is over.
The strategy of Beast King Valley has formed a semi-encirclement.
If we capture Jing and Liang again, it will be equivalent to reaching the rear of Feng.
By then, the surrounded Feng Kingdom would not be able to escape.
The appearance of the Son of Luck in the Jing Kingdom changed the war pattern, causing the invasion momentum in the Beast King Valley to stop before the Jing Kingdom.
“That True Lord Ling Yu saved the Liang Kingdom by the way.”
Lu Changan secretly said.
Liang State and Jing State are adjacent to each other. Once Jing State is defeated, it will be Liang State’s turn immediately.
With the serious injury of the leader of the Beast King Valley, the offensive of the demonic invasion has slowed down.
The two camps are currently in a stalemate.
Zhou Qingxuan also mentioned a piece of gossip.
It is said that there is a possibility of peace talks and a truce between the Wei Dao Alliance and the Beast King Valley, and there are private contacts between high-level officials of both parties.
This is good news for the vast world of immortal cultivators in the Wei Dao Alliance.
Lu Changan frowned.
This is bad news for him personally.
In recent years, the Peacock Saint has not come to trouble him. The main reason is that she was involved in the Immortal Cultivation War.
On the demonic battlefield, there are relatively few battles between Nascent Souls.
As a top-notch alchemy overhaul, the Peacock Saint is an important combat force on the magic battlefield and has a greater impact on local wars.
This woman cannot spare more than a year or two to go to the boundless desert area to hunt down Lu Changan.
During a war, it is also risky to go behind enemy lines.
Furthermore, the demonic war is a rare opportunity for her.
Plunder resources and obtain military exploits, which can be exchanged for Yuanying-level precious resources.
The greater the battle merit, the higher the priority for obtaining the Infant Transformation Pill in the Beast King Valley.
Once the demon war ceases, even if it is suspended for a few years.
The Peacock Saint will have her hands free!
This woman failed once and suffered a lot from Lu Changan.
If you take action again, you will definitely not take it lightly, and you may even ask for help from powerful colleagues.
“Fortunately, the worst did not happen.”
Luckily for Lu Changan, both Jing and Liang were able to defend their territory.
The influence of the Beast King Valley cannot radiate to the Feng Yuan Kingdom in the vast desert.
The Peacock Saint dealt with Lu Changan mainly through her own abilities and could not use force to overwhelm others.
…
The puppet clone did not leave Zhou's home immediately.
Lu Changan still needs to know more information about the magic battlefield, which will help with future divination.
He wanted to personally question Xing Peng, the incense master of Wujian Sect.
Zhou Qingxuan is Xing Peng's top line, controlling the latter's Gu insect ban, which is stabilized every three years.
A few days later.
A mysterious man in a gray robe and a hood quietly entered the Beast Control Zhou's house.
“Xing Peng, I have met His Excellency Hei Xiao.”
Xing Peng bowed and saluted. He did not see the reality of the puppet clone. He sensed the fluctuation of consciousness far beyond his own, and his heart was awe-inspiring.
A few years ago, Lu Changan traded the incomplete puppet inheritance of the Thousand Machine Sect at an auction and absorbed the simulation skills.
General puppets have no real soul power.
There is a puppet clone of Lu Changan.
With the simulation skills of Qianji Sect, as long as they don’t fight with all their strength or come into contact for a long time, it is not easy to detect the real person in the early and middle stages of Dan Formation.
"According to my understanding, the top brass of the Beast King Valley are currently in dispute over whether to negotiate a truce, and there is no unified opinion. Even if the truce is implemented, it will be a delaying measure, and there will still be liquidation in the future."
Xing Peng replied.
His cousin is the Jueying helmsman of the Wujian sect. He was promoted to the late stage of Dan formation twenty years ago and has a certain status in the Wujian sect.
Due to this relationship, Xing Peng has a better sense of news from the upper levels of the Six Demonic Sects than ordinary incense masters and altar masters.
“How likely do you think the peace talks are to lead to an armistice?”
Lu Changan asked questions through the puppet clone.
“The number is about fifty-five, depending on two factors.”
Xing Peng muttered.
“First, look at the attitude of Zhenjun Lingyu and the extent to which he protects the Jing Kingdom and the Wei Dao Alliance.”
“Second, can the other five sects of the Six Demonic Dao Sects be free to provide some assistance. There are not many monks in the Six Demonic Dao Sects who can check and balance Zhenjun Lingyu.”
Hearing this, Lu Changan was thoughtful.
Six sects of the Demonic Path expanded eastward and invaded multiple lands at the same time.
The Christian Alliance is just one of them.
The strength of the Valley of the Beast King is considered high among the six sects, and one sect conquers the borders of all countries.
If it weren't for the variable of the Son of Luck, Beast King Valley would have been successful.
If several other sects have spare strength during the invasion, they can assist each other, but they must give generous rewards.
“In addition to asking for reinforcements, the Beast King Valley also has a trump card. The sect has a banned fourth-level Beast King with a heavenly bloodline, has survived for thousands of years, and its combat power is comparable to the peak of the mid-Nascent Soul.”
"It's just that the strongest fourth-level Beast King cannot be completely controlled and is prone to backlash. It once almost brought the danger of annihilation to the Beast King Valley. The Beast King Valley will only use this double-edged sword unless it is absolutely necessary."
Xing Peng also revealed the secrets of the Valley of the Beast King.
The sealed strongest beast king!
Lu Changan couldn't help but take a breath of air. The foundation and strength of Beast King Valley were too terrifying.
The Beast King Valley was almost wiped out, and the strength of the strongest Beast King was probably close to that of the Yuanying Great Monk.
If you can perfectly control the sealed beast king, Beast King Valley may be able to compete for the position of the boss of the six demon sects.
“What’s the current situation in Jinyun Valley?”
At that time, Lu Changan was forced by the situation to run away from Jinyun Valley, which was not glorious.
“The sect leader of Jinyun Valley, after being taken over by Master Tianfeng, has been generally stable and making progress.”
“Five years ago, Master Tianfeng cut off Master Black Crow’s arm in the Demonic Battlefield, almost killing him, and his reputation was greatly shocked.”
Tianfeng Zhenren is Zhang Tieshan’s Taoist name.
Black Crow Master is a strong player in the middle stage of the Beast King Valley's alchemy formation, and the direct murderer of Zhao Siyao.
Such news made Lu Changan feel a little emotional.
Xing Peng presented another jade slip, which recorded detailed information about Jinyun Valley.
“Two years ago, Zhao Tan’er was promoted to the middle stage of Dan Jie and became the number one female Dan Jie cultivator in Jinyun Valley.”
“The great elder was seriously injured, his strength was damaged, and he retreated to the second line.”
“Zhang Tieshan, as the sect leader, is in charge of the power of Jinyun Valley…”
Two hundred and twenty years ago.
Zhang Tieshan, Lu Changan, Zhao Siyao, Lin Yi, and Li Erqing were all immortal seedlings of the same generation and had known each other since their Qi refining period. In the early years, the young Marquis Lin Yi met Zhang Tieshan during his Qi refining period. I am afraid he did not expect that the latter would have such achievements and become the helmsman of Jinyun Valley.
Even Lu Changan would not have thought that Zhang Tieshan could reach such a height two hundred years ago.
During the Huanglong Fairy City period, Lu Changan killed the "Evil Faced Flying Eagle" and cooperated with Zhang Tieshan, a foundation-building monk of the Law Enforcement Hall, to get what each other needed.
At that time, Lu Changan complimented: In a few years, Lu might be able to see the day when Brother Zhang becomes the elder of the Law Enforcement Hall.
At that time, Zhang Tieshan smiled and said nothing.
“It’s good news that Lao Zhang has become the helmsman of Jinyun Valley. When Lao Zhang makes Jinyun Valley stronger and bigger, it will be a reliable path for him in the future.”
Lu Changan thought so.
Golden Cloud Valley has medium and large third-order high-grade spiritual veins, and even has the potential to breed quasi-fourth-order spiritual veins.
Lu Changan will become a major cultivator of alchemy in the future and will need third-level high-grade spiritual veins.
What!
Jinyun Valley doesn’t welcome monks who have run away?
Lu Changan believes that with more than two hundred years of profound friendship, Lao Zhang will definitely defy all opinions and welcome his king back again.
“Lao Zhang avenged Siyao on the battlefield, which shows that he is a person who values friendship and justice just like us!”
Lu Changxin feels relieved.
He speculated that Zhao Tan'er was successfully promoted to the middle stage of Danjie and may have been taken care of by Lao Zhang.
Actually, Lu Changan did not owe Jin Yungu anything when he ran away.
Before leaving, he left key information about the mole to Jinyungu.
According to the records in Xing Pengyu's bamboo slips:
A few years ago, the Jing Kingdom was half occupied by demons. The Liang Kingdom’s immortal community provided strong support, resulting in an internal emptiness.
The ghosts of Wujian Sect lurking in the major forces of Liang Kingdom took the opportunity to cause trouble in the rear.
During the chaos, Jinyungu was vigilant in cleaning up the cancer in advance and minimized the losses.
This is the biggest feedback Lu Changan gave to Jinyun Valley before he ran away.
…
A few days later, the clone puppet obtained enough information and returned to the desert.
Lu Changan put the bamboo hat assassin puppet into the storage bag.
“Half-step golden elixir…Taiyin jade liquid…”
Before returning to Feng Yuan Kingdom, he looked far away in the direction of Feng Kingdom and Aoyue Palace.
After forming the elixir, Xia Wenyue's "cold soul chalcedony" innate Tao body has begun to breed Taiyin jade liquid.
At the early stage of Dan formation, Taiyin Yuye is still in the initial gestation stage and has little help in conceiving a baby.
It must be in the middle and late stages of elixir formation before the Taiyin jade liquid is mature, which will be helpful to the promotion of Nascent Soul.
According to ancient records, the Taiyin jade liquid produced in the later stage of pill formation is almost equivalent to half of a baby pill.
Lu Changan is currently in the middle stage of elixir formation. Even if the pregnancy is successful, taking it too early will waste the effect of "Taiyin Jade Liquid".
Over the years, Lu Changan has never been to Aoyue Palace. He did not contact Xia Wenyue just to avoid other people's association.
“Eighty years later, that girl has achieved half-step to the golden elixir in the Yuanying sect. She has experienced a lot, so her feelings must have faded..."
Lu Changan was in Jing State in his early years, sowing a seed without investing too much.
Even if it fails, there is not much loss.
He never thought about kidnapping Xia Wenyue with his feelings.
I don’t even believe that when we meet again after more than a hundred years, the other party will remain unchanged.
Lu Changan doesn’t want to test human nature.
Therefore, Xia Wenyue had no choice but to willingly promise to let this woman take the oath of the inner demon.
As an innate Taoist body, it is expected to impact Nascent Soul in the future.
Then the constraints of the "Inner Demon's Oath" will be far greater than those of ordinary monks!
This constraint is coupled with the grace of reinvention from the past.
If there is no external interference, it is more likely that Xia Wenyue will hand over the "Taiyin Jade Liquid".
Lu Changan plans to break through the late stage of Jindan and prepare to have a baby, and then go to find Xia Wenyue to fulfill the promise of Taiyin Yuye.
…
Two months later,
Lu Changan, who returned to Feng Yuan Kingdom, deliberately went to two deserted tribal cities to inquire about the war intelligence of the Wei Dao Alliance.
“Do the natives of Feng Yuan Country really not care about the intelligence from the outside world?”
The relevant information obtained by Lu Changan was extremely delayed and inaccurate.
Fengyuan Kingdom is located in the center of the vast sand sea. It has a harsh environment and is far away. It is like an isolated island with little contact with the outside world.
Tens of thousands of years of experience give them confidence:
Even if the outside world is shaken, it will not affect the "resplendent ancient civilization" in the center of the desert.
Tianzhilou, which exists in all the countries of the Wei Dao Alliance, has not established a branch in this barren land.
However, Lu Changan believes that the upper echelons of Feng Yuan Kingdom, such as the Snow Mountain Holy Land, are somewhat concerned about the outside world.
The "Heavenly Master" of the Snow Mountain Holy Land is said to be proficient in divination. As long as you get some information, you can figure out the major events in the world without leaving home.
With the Heavenly Master controlling the overall situation, the natives of the deserted city tribes do not need to care about the external war situation.
Back to the outer sectarian territory, the situation is better.
The Outer Sect Alliance brings together monks from all over the world, some from the two sects, and some from the Wealth Alliance.
It is rumored that over the long years, there were monks from outside Daqing who crossed over from areas further north in the desert.
The most mysterious intelligence organization in the Outer Clan League is called "Huangsha".
From the Huangsha Organization, Lu Changan finally obtained the war intelligence of the Wedao Alliance. Although there was a delay, it was relatively reliable.
This intelligence organization is said to come from the boundary between the two religions, and it has not focused on the situation on the Methodist League side in the past.
But in recent years, the war between the Wei Dao Alliance and the Demonic Dao has been too fierce.
The battle between the Son of Luck and the Sect Master of the Beast King Valley shocked the Eastern Region of Daqing and attracted their attention.
Huangsha Intelligence Organization allows Lu Changan to have more reliable eyes and ears, so he does not have to travel frequently to keep an eye on the situation in the Outer Alliance.
…
On this day, Lu Changan returned to Fangcao Oasis and the mountain gate of Xuanyin Pavilion.
That night, Fairy Niyue visited in person. While being gentle, she asked Lu Changan about the war information of the Wei Dao Alliance.
The information brought back by Lu Changan was more comprehensive and detailed than that of the Huangsha Organization.
“If the war can really cease, Ni’er will want to return to his hometown of Liang.”
Fairy Niyue smiled and said happily.
The peace talks of the Demonic Way War ceased, which is good for all the monks in the world, but it is not good for Lu Changan.
“The spiritual veins of the former mountain gate of Xuanyin Pavilion were occupied by the forces of the Jinyang Sect camp. You will only see things and get hurt if you go back.”
Lu Changan poured cold water on him.
Fairy Niyue rolled her eyes at him, her eyes dim and a little sad.
“By the way, is there any whereabouts of ‘Liu Qingyan’ that Ni’er asked you to inquire about?”
That night, before Lu Changan left, Fairy Niyue gave some instructions.
Years ago, a fellow disciple from the Liang Kingdom brought back news:
There was a female cultivator named "Liu Qingyan" in Xuanyin Pavilion who formed a true elixir and later disappeared in the war.
Fairy Niyue once sent people back to inquire, but unfortunately the trip was costly and no definite information was obtained.
"No."
Lu Changan shook his head.
That Liu Qingyan is himself, there is no need to inquire at all.
Hearing this, Fairy Niyue expressed disappointment. Missing a female True Alchemist was a loss to Xuanyin Pavilion.
After returning to Xuanyin Pavilion.
Lu Changan accelerated the improvement of divination and strengthened his strength to deal with possible threats in the future.
Improve the divination, speed up the krypton life, and upgrade to the third level as soon as possible.
The third-level high-grade divination skills, coupled with the six or seven third-level divination wonders on hand, greatly increase the ability to calculate and conceal the secrets of heaven.
This has the highest priority.
Not just to deal with the Peacock Saint and the Valley of the Beast King.
Lu Changan will face his "fellow disciples" in the Central Daqing Region in the future. Fellow practitioners of Changqing Gong, who are stronger in divination, can take advantage of them.
In terms of strengthening strength, it is impossible to improve the cultivation level in the short term.
Lu Changan focuses on body refining, puppets, talisman formations, etc.
At Xuanyin Pavilion, with the blessing of the wonderful music of Yin Dao, Lu Changan's cultivation of immortality improved faster.
…
Two and a half years later.
Lu Changan is 244 years old. While practicing at Xuanyin Pavilion, he is silently paying attention to the war situation in the Wei Dao Alliance.
Having enough information media, Lu Changan could make guesses from time to time.
The calculated results are increasingly unfavorable.
In the past two or three years, although the Wei Dao Alliance and the Beast King Valley are still in a stalemate and have not yet ceased fighting, the situation has stabilized.
Based on intelligence and calculations, Lu Changan felt that the possibility of peace talks and an armistice was gradually increasing.
The Valley of the Beast King may need to rest for some years to digest the occupied territory, and wait until the Son of Luck leaves before starting the war.
Lu Changan has a plan to deal with future crises.
If the truce is short, you can just hide for a while, and it will have little impact on your practice.
There is no need to even dodge.
Staying in Xuanyin Pavilion, he joined forces with Fairy Niyue, a later major cultivator, and with the help of the third-order formation, Yuanying had no chance to come out, so he had no opponent at all.
The big deal is that the true identity of the Wugui Talisman Master will be revealed to Fairy Niyue and give her a "surprise".
Normally, it is impossible for True Monarch Nascent Soul to be at the mercy of the Peacock Saint and take risks to cross behind the enemy forces and go deep into Feng Yuan Kingdom.
The Celestial Master of Feng Yuan Kingdom will not allow Yuanying from a foreign country to come to his own territory to cause trouble.
Moreover, if the Peacock Saint can untie her heart knot, she must rely mainly on her personal strength. If Nascent Soul is sent out to scare Lu Changan away, he may never find another chance in his life.
If the truce lasts for a long time and the Peacock Saint has enough time to deal with him, it will be a bit tricky.
Lu Changan has two choices:
One is to run further.
Through the Poison Swamp, go to the boundary between the two religions.
Or, take a detour to the middle region of Daqing, which is the territory of the ten Xuanmen sects, and the demonic forces dare not invade.
It's just that the journey is long. To go to the Central Region, you have to cross other territories invaded by the devil. It takes a long detour, and there are risks in traveling.
Second option: Repeat the same trick, using clues from Mr. Xu and Xuanyin Pavilion as bait to capture the Peacock Saint.
Even if the Peacock Saint cannot be solved, take down the five-color peacock and refine the supernatural peacock puppet that imitates the true spirit form.
The prerequisite for the second choice is to confirm that the Peacock Saint's pursuit strength can handle it without bringing Nascent Soul to help.
Although this possibility is extremely low, it should be considered.
No matter which choice you make, divination promotion is important.
Though the third-level high-grade divination cannot predict the fate of the Nascent Soul, if you are prepared, you can get some clues by calculating the life expectancy.
Over the past two years, Lu Changan has lost 20 years of his life, and his divination skills are approaching the third level.
The effect of krypton life is excellent.
Although he lost a lot of life, Lu Changan also received good news.
The third-level longevity fruit obtained from Wanhua Chamber of Commerce that year has finally matured.
The materials for the third-level longevity elixir have already been prepared.
