Chapter 316 Changes in Xuan Teng
At the center of Feng Yuan Kingdom, the top of the holy mountain is covered with ice and snow and shrouded in clouds and mist.
In front of the Bamboo Grove House.
A Taoist priest with a pale face, dressed in a white white master's robe, was leaning against the eaves and sleeping soundly.
The Taoist's hair and eyebrows are both silver-white, and he looks like an old man at first glance. But his complexion is delicate and his demeanor is that of a young man in his twenties and thirties.
“Huh? Who is plotting against this Heavenly Master?”
Feng Yuan Tianshi, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly opened Gu Jing Wubo's eyes.
The dark pupils were like two drops of concentrated ink, slowly turning like black dots in the Yin-Yang diagram.
A ball!
After Tianshi woke up, he couldn't help but sneeze again, and his thin body trembled.
The Taoist looked solemn, calculated with his fingers, and muttered something.
During this process, the Heavenly Master frowned slightly, feeling the resistance in the dark and the invisible mist of heaven.
Involving the existence of many Nascent Soul levels, it is difficult to calculate.
“Alas, this world is so bad! I don’t leave the gate, I don’t fight, I don’t fight, I try my best to avoid killing the cause and effect, but in the end I am still remembered.”
The Heavenly Master let out a long sigh, deeply lamented.
He has already calculated that the Peacock Saint was captured and the fourth-level Beast King died.
The final outcome was somewhat beyond expectations.
The Weed Alliance believes that this matter was driven by his behind-the-scenes calculations. There may also be speculation in this regard in the Valley of the Beast King.
The specific reason cannot be estimated. The source is intertwined with several Nascent Soul Lords, and the key points are shrouded in the mist of heaven.
The Heavenly Master reasoned with common sense and thought:
“If there is not the mysterious Yuanying True Lord behind Lu Changan, or there is a true Lord in the Wei Dao League or the Beast King Valley who is good at divination, he will see through the clues and expose this heavenly master.”
If you don’t want others to know, don’t do it unless you do it yourself.
The Heavenly Master secretly promoted this matter. Although he is very hidden and can cover up the secrets, he cannot prevent normal associations.
Now, with this black pot on his head, it is difficult for the Heavenly Master to refute.
Yellow mud falls into the pants, it is either feces or feces.
Fortunately, the final result is acceptable.
It is reasonable and reasonable for the Wei Dao Alliance to deal with the demon girl within the territory, but Beast King Valley is wrong and has nothing to say.
Even if there is trouble, the Wei Dao League will fight in front and it will not be his turn.
The grievances and conflicts between the two camps will further intensify.
The lesson learned this time can serve as a warning to the monkeys. In the future, monks from the Beast King Valley or other big forces will not dare to come to Feng Yuan Kingdom’s territory to cause trouble.
“No wonder when the Peacock Saint entered Feng Yuan Kingdom, her life was bumpy and her beauty was unfortunate..."
After thinking deeply, the Heavenly Master sorted out the general cause and effect, and a trace of pity appeared on his face.
…
half a month later.
Liang Guo, Jinyun Valley Mountain Gate.
Early in the morning, the sky was just bright and the dew was cold.
Qunying Mountain, in front of the tombstone engraved with the words "Zhenren Yaoyue".
A young disciple in white clothes with a low sense of presence worshiped in front of the tombstone.
The tribute he offered was two heads.
One head is that of a human monk; the other is that of an avian.
The nearby tombkeepers were asleep and unaware of this.
“Zhenren Yaoyue…”
The man in white murmured, this was Zhao Siyao's nickname during his lifetime.
Because the relationship between the two parties is so good, they basically don’t call each other by their nicknames, so they feel a little unfamiliar.
According to the rules of Jinyun Valley, those who have not become a Zhendan monk are not qualified to enter the sect's ancestor hall.
Unless he has made great contributions to the sect.
Qunying Mountain, only members who have contributed to the sect or died in battle are eligible to be buried here.
The descendants of his disciples can enjoy certain preferential treatment.
For example, the "Order of Ascension to Immortality" which is widely circulated in the world of immortality, often flows out through this channel.
Huh~
Lu Changan pointed his finger, and the heads of a man, a bird, and two people were burned in front of the tombstone.
The human head among them comes from the real person Black Crow, who was the direct murderer of Zhao Siyao.
Coupled with the tragic fate of the Peacock Saint, Lu Changan can be regarded as avenging Zhao Siyao.
The head sacrifice of the five-color peacock is just an additional head.
When Lu Changan took down the five-color peacock, the latter actually had a breath of life and a chance of rejuvenation.
Lu Changan did not take any action to treat him.
The rock rat got his wish and tasted the delicacy of the noble bloodline.
Lu Changan only left the key materials for refining the supernatural puppet, such as the feather crown, skeleton, and blood essence, for future use.
It’s not that Lu Changan doesn’t want to have a spiritual bird with Tianpin bloodline.
The five-color peacock possesses the spiritual light of destruction and forbidden magical powers. It is extremely powerful and even has the rare blood of the true spirit flowing through it.
However, this bird is the natal spiritual pet of the Peacock Saint. It is difficult to truly tame it, it is impossible to be loyal, and it will bite its owner at any time.
Furthermore, if the five-color peacock is left alive, it may be sensed and tracked by the secret method of beast control in the Beast King Valley in the future.
Lu Changan would naturally not keep such a hidden danger by his side, and would directly turn it into materials and seal it.
In addition, the peacock saint’s beast-control skills are closely related to the five-color peacock.
If you kill this bird, it will be difficult for the Peacock Saint to aspire to the Nascent Soul in this life.
When the fire enveloped the two sacrifices, Lu Changan quietly left Jinyun Valley without stopping.
His figure has just left.
Jinyun Valley, the main hall of the clan leader.
Zhang Tianfeng, who was sitting cross-legged and meditating, wearing a black robe and a coat, suddenly felt something.
His face is slightly dark, calm and majestic, and his body is tall and straight, like a tall mountain sitting here.
“Meet the sect leader!”
Under the respectful eyes of the deacon guarding the mausoleum, Zhang Tianfeng took a few steps into Qunying Mountain and came to Zhao Siyao's mausoleum.
Since the name was changed to "Zhen Feng Zhenren", outside monks have gradually forgotten the original real name of "Zhang Tieshan".
Over the long years, after several generations of disciples cultivating immortals, the new generation only knows the leader’s Taoist name: “Zhenren Tianfeng”, whose name is Zhang Tianfeng.
Just like Li Erqing’s original Ergou, Li Huo Zhenren’s former Duan Daniu.
The monks who are familiar with the names of those days are mostly old friends and a few monks from the same era.
At this time, in front of the tombstone.
Two burnt heads, just extinguished, are drifting away in the wind.
"This is…"
Zhang Tianfeng looked surprised, his eyes flickering, staring at the scattered ashes of the head, thoughtfully.
Thinking of the recent actions of the Wei Dao League, they captured the Peacock Saint and killed the fourth-level beast king, which was a great achievement.
“He has been.”
Zhang Tianfeng, who guessed some of the truth, was shocked.
“He really did it.”
Zhang Tianfeng took a deep breath. Even though he had overestimated it, Lu Changan's revenge on Zhao Siyao so quickly was beyond expectation.
Could it be that this person is really the reincarnation of the legendary monk Yan Donglai?
But Qi Ling speculated that Lu Changan's behavior style was not very similar to Yan Donglai's.
After a long time.
Zhang Tianfeng suddenly smiled and shook his head.
Just as the saying goes, one does not care about one’s heart when it comes to deeds.
Since Lu Changan was able to avenge Zhao Siyao and left key information about the insider before leaving, we can learn from his intentions.
With what he did, it no longer mattered what kind of relationship the other party had with Yan Donglai.
Even in the esoteric teachings of reincarnation in the world of immortality, this life is often greater than the next.
…
Ten days later.
Zhang Tianfeng inquired about relevant information and came to a terrible conclusion.
The huge Wei Dao League was kept in the dark.
From the perspective of the top management of the Weidao League, Lu Changan is at best a chess piece and bait, and the real planner is the Celestial Master.
Only Zhang Tianfeng guessed some of the truth, and there was a big hand pushing behind the scenes.
“It’s so secret, how could you let me know about it?”
Zhang Tianfeng felt a sudden change in his heart.
Looking back on that day, as soon as he arrived, Lu Changan left.
Zhang Tianfeng suddenly realized: Lu Changan might have deliberately revealed his traces so that he could guess some of the truth.
Tell yourself that he took action.
This is a silent tacit understanding.
After all, those old friends from the original generation, Zhao Siyao, Li Erqing, Lin Yi, Mu Xiuyun... have all fallen silent in the long river of time.
In today’s world of immortality, among the initial generation, Zhang Tianfeng is Lu Changan’s only remaining friend.
Following down, there are the descendants of the old friend, Zhao Tan'er, Li Congnen, Mu Bingyun, Lin Lu, etc.
After the death of Zhao Siyao, Zhang Tianfeng was also Lu Changan's closest friend.
Over more than two hundred years, the two of them have guessed some secrets about each other, and have a trust and understanding that far exceeds that of others.
…
In ten days, Lu Changan made a short trip to the Immortal Cultivation World of Liang Kingdom.
Passing through Jinyun Valley, Feiyue Lake, Wuqi Mountain, Xuemei Mountain Li Family, and the Royal Beast Zhou Family...
At this time, he was possessed by the shadow of the fourth generation Yuanying. His soul had powerful senses and possessed a complete Yuanying-level consciousness.
Due to the integration with this world, it is even slightly stronger than the ordinary Nascent Soul early stage.
As long as there is no fierce fighting and the power of the possessed soul is consumed, the advent of the fourth life can last longer.
To avoid leaving traces and clues, Lu Changan did not have any direct contact with his old friends, descendants, or former lovers.
If an old friend happens to be in trouble, Lu Changan can resolve it without leaving any trace.
While traveling, Lu Changan discovered an interesting thing:
The number one casual cultivator in the Immortal Cultivation World in Liang is none other than Jiang Yechen, whom he met back then, and who is in the middle stage of pill formation.
Jiang Yechen once failed to compete for the peak mastership in Wuqi Mountain, and Lu Changan did not choose him.
The last time we interacted with him was a hundred years ago. This person used soul treasures to help Master Xianzi recover her lost memories.
According to Lu Changan's understanding, Shi Xianzi, a third-order formation master, has a good relationship with Jiang Yechen. The two are representative figures in Liang Guo's casual cultivators.
Lu Changan’s stay in Liang was not just for nostalgia.
And in order to pay attention to the relevant information progress of the "Peacock Saint".
Lu Changan used the puppet clone to directly visit Xing Peng who was hiding in the secret stronghold.
His!
The poisonous insects in the sea of consciousness were restrained, and there was a stinging pain that woke Xing Peng up from his sleep.
Click! The first time he woke up, he immediately broke the neck of the beauty beside him.
“The Lord has asked me to ask questions.”
Through the perspective of the hat assassin "Black Owl", Lu Changan discovered that Xing Peng has gained some weight in recent years and his cultivation has made average progress.
The significance of Xing Peng's existence is to report information related to the demonic war to Lu Chang'an, and to deal with some small and obscure matters.
Originally, the use value of this person will be getting lower and lower.
Unexpectedly, his cousin "Jueying Helm" has become very successful in Wujiangmen. Judging from the speed of his rise, he is expected to reach the top of Wujiangmen in the future.
In fact, when he was in Jing Kingdom, the master of Jueying Altar was the master of the middle stage of Danjie, and he was a rising star of Wujian Sect.
Now, not only has this new star not fallen, but it has become even brighter.
"Back to the Lord and His Excellency Black Owl. The Peacock Saint is currently imprisoned in Jinyang Sect and is regarded as an important hostage by the Wei Dao Alliance. Her life is not worried for the time being."
“What’s the reaction from the Valley of the Beast King?”
Lu Changan had already expected this. The Wei Dao Alliance wants to use the Peacock Saint as a bargaining chip to exchange benefits with the Beast King Valley.
"The top brass of the Beast King Valley have not issued a statement yet. Only the grandfather of the Peacock Saint, the True Monarch Wanhe, made harsh words. Whoever dares to hurt his granddaughter will be attacked ten times or a hundred times if the Beast King Valley invades. Give it back!"
Hearing this, Lu Changan chuckled lightly.
This kind of threatening words is more like helpless rage.
As long as we have the ability to rescue, we will do it directly, and we will never push too hard.
“Do you think the Beast King Valley will agree to redeem the Peacock Saint?”
“It’s unlikely.”
Xing Peng shook his head and analyzed the reason:
“Beast King Valley has always acted in a domineering manner and is not threatened by the weak sect. What’s more, the Peacock Saint acted in private and violated the sect’s rules. After performing the Yuhe technique, she suffered extremely serious injuries, and this girl’s potential was greatly reduced.”
“In addition, there are many hills in the Beast King Valley. The Peacock Saint cannot come back, and the Infant Transformation Pill that she originally obtained first will be easier for other factions to compete with.”
Hearing this, Lu Changan was basically convinced that although the Peacock Saint was still alive, it would be impossible to return to the Valley of the Beast King in the short term.
Being a prisoner will definitely lead to a difficult life.
The most important thing is that the magic power is imprisoned and there is no way to practice.
“The foundation was damaged, the magic power was banned, and the natal beast was also killed...”
Lu Changan was very worried. Even if the Peacock Saint survived, she had cut off any further hope in the future.
…
On the way back to Feng Yuan Kingdom, Lu Changan deliberately slowed down to improve his sensing ability.
Until he stepped into Feng Yuan Kingdom, Lu Changan did not grasp the sense of crisis.
Possessed by the fourth generation Nascent Soul, with the blessing of the third-level high-grade divination, under the condition of active defense, even if the heavenly master divination has ill intentions towards him, he can still faintly detect the signs.
Part of the reason for using the trump card of the fourth life is to provide cover for this operation and prevent the Celestial Master's oriole from behind.
“It seems that the Heavenly Master has no ill intentions toward me.”
Lu Changan has analyzed this.
He is on the same front as the Celestial Master, has no dealings with the Beast King Valley, and has a common enemy.
Lu Changan was even used as a chess piece to make the Peacock Saint suffer a big loss and followed the wishes of the Heavenly Master.
In terms of emotion, reason, and interests, the Heavenly Master would not target him.
If there is such a sign, Lu Changan is now possessed by Nascent Soul, and he can sense it with all his strength. If he notices it, he will turn around and leave.
The fourth level's "Red Sun Transforms into Blood Escape" is activated, and there is nothing the Heavenly Master can do.
In addition, Lu Changan learned from the intelligence that the Heavenly Master did not like fighting and was more at home than an old turtle like him, and rarely went out.
The Heavenly Master wants to target a certain person, and he can kill him with just a few calculations.
Taking action personally to cause trouble for an alchemy monk is a sign of debasement for him, which is not in line with his style of conduct.
A few months later.
Lu Changan followed the periphery of Feng Yuan Kingdom, took a slight detour, and returned to Xuanyin Pavilion on the boundary of the outer sect alliance.
Fragrant grass oasis, everything is normal.
On that day, the Peacock Saint came in person, and the hinterland of Xuanyin Pavilion's mountain gate was covered by a fourth-order magic formation, so other monks could not see the outside world.
The conversation between Lu Changan and the Peacock Saint was only witnessed by Ni Yue.
In the current Feng Yuan Kingdom, only a few people know or think of Mr. Xu’s true identity.
Tianshi and Niyue Fairy are two of them.
The reason why Lu Changan still wants to stay in Feng Yuan Kingdom is because this place is covered by the fourth-level divination of the national master, so that the follow-up investigation of Beast King Valley will stop in this desert.
The Beast King Valley was worried about the Heavenly Master's plot and did not dare to easily send people to investigate and threaten Lu Changan, the so-called chess piece and bait.
As long as the Celestial Master is not hostile, Lu Changan doesn't mind cultivating here to the late stage of Jindan.
…
It was night, Fairy Niyue and Lu Changan met in the cave.
The two communicated for a long time, and the topic became more and more in-depth.
Two hours later.
The blush on Fairy Niyue's face has not faded. She is only wrapped in a bunch of white brocade. She is slumped beside the bed, her slender thighs half-kneeling on the scattered palace clothes.
“Ni’er, tomorrow you prepare a generous gift and send an elder to the Snow Mountain Holy Land to thank Master Feng Yuan.”
Beside the bed, Lu Changan was sitting upright, calm and calm, and gave instructions.
"Ni'er knows! Xuanyin Pavilion can survive this disaster and get the care of the heavenly master."
Fairy Niyue breathed heavily and helped Lu Changan's knees to stand up.
Previously, through Lu Changan’s narration, she learned that the Peacock Saint was finally arrested, and that the Supreme Master was behind it.
If not, Xuanyin Pavilion is in danger of being wiped out.
Lu Changan was clear that he could not stop the attack of the fourth-order Beast King head-on.
“Which elder should be sent?”
Fairy Niyue asked.
“Autumn Fairy.”
Lu Changan thought for a moment and realized that the newly promoted True Pill Elder Qiu Xianzi had little contact with him, so he would not reveal any hidden information.
The next day.
Xuanyin Pavilion sent Qiu Xianzi, the elder of Zhendan, to the Snow Mountain Holy Land of Feng Yuan Kingdom to pay homage to the Heavenly Master.
half a month later.
The autumn fairy went and came back, intact.
According to her report, she was successfully received by the Heavenly Master, and the Snow Mountain Holy Land accepted the gift of thanks.
Not only that, the Heavenly Master also gave away a special product for Fairy Qiu to bring back.
Lu Changan briefly identified the specialty product he gave back. It was a rare third-level mangosteen that could be used to refine divination items.
Such a result surprised Lu Changan, and a big stone settled in his heart.
The gift from the Heavenly Master is a signal of goodwill.
“This is the right move!”
Lu Changan realized that this exchange of favors was very successful!
It’s not strange if you give gifts to many people anyway, how can you know the result if you don’t try it?
As long as he is not a demonic soul, or a real monarch with a withdrawn personality, the other party will definitely not be surprised by this kind of thank you gift as a sign of respect.
Yuanying Zhenjun is also a human being, not a real immortal. As a higher-level superior, he also has seven emotions and six desires.
Peacock Saint, if she could let go of the arrogance of the top sect, have a lower posture, be humane and worldly, and give enough respect to the Celestial Master, she would not have ended up so miserable.
On the other hand, Lu Changan had followed the wishes of the Heavenly Master at the right time and place, and afterwards he sent a thank-you gift to express sufficient respect.
As long as there is no conflict of interest, the Heavenly Master will naturally like him and may even take care of him in the future.
In the world of immortality, a single thought often determines a different fate.
“Fairy Qiu, I hope you can state the details of your meeting with the Heavenly Master without reservation. This is related to the fate of Xuanyin Pavilion.”
In the main hall, Lu Changan looked at the lonely and cold Qiu Fairy and asked carefully.
Niyue Fairy cast an encouraging look.
Fairy Qiu hesitated a little and repeated the content of the conversation with the Heavenly Master. It was nothing more than some music scores and interesting humanities talk.
Lu Changan didn't hear anything unusual. The Tianshi's conversation generally gave people an elegant and easy-going feeling.
"The Heavenly Master likes to listen to music, so he asked me to play music all night. Afterwards, he felt happy and cut off a piece of mangosteen, a special product from the top of the mountain, as a thank you gift in return."
Fairy Qiu added, her face looking unnatural.
"Afterwards? Hey! He just listened to music all night long?"
Lu Changan had a strange expression.
The cold and quiet Fairy Qiu blushed and gave Lu Changan an annoyed look.
Fairy Niyue quickly took Fairy Qiu's hand, set up a barrier, and asked in private.
After Fairy Qiu left, Fairy Niyue explained the truth to Lu Changan.
"The whole night, the Heavenly Master just listened to the music, just appreciated it, without any compulsion. Xiaoqiu is still in perfect condition."
Fairy Niyue has a dignified face and a serious look.
Lu Changan should have been suspicious.
But just now she heard the conversation between the two with her powerful spiritual consciousness, and Fairy Niyue did not deliberately hide it.
“However, it was just a one-sided relationship. Facing the elegant demeanor of the Celestial Master, Xiaoqiu almost secretly agreed.”
Fairy Niyue sighed softly, looking slightly worried.
“It seems that the Heavenly Master is indeed a classy and elegant man.”
Lu Changan clasped his fists towards the snow-capped mountain holy land and said in admiration.
He was probably sure that the Celestial Master was the same type of person as himself, with a more lofty spiritual pursuit that had already transcended mere physical desires.
…
For the next six months, Lu Changan practiced peacefully in Xuanyin Pavilion without any accidents.
Divination indicates that the weather will be smooth and there will be no signs of crisis.
Lu Changan finally felt relieved.
Have a good relationship with the Heavenly Master, and you will naturally have peace of mind in Feng Yuan Kingdom.
As long as there are no major changes in the situation in the world of immortality, he can practice with peace of mind for many years.
Time flies, fifteen years have passed.
Lu Changan was in the middle stage of Jindan, and his cultivation was steadily advancing.
Lu Changan, who devoted himself to cultivation and studying his skills, no longer paid much attention to external objects.
An unexpected day.
The underground secret room of the Elder’s Cave.
The Xuantian Gourd Vine that had been dormant for an unknown number of years was planted in a large vat containing the five elements of soil, and suddenly there was movement!
ifier
On the Xuantian vine, the dead and shriveled gourd fruit prototype is black and gray, the death aura is extremely strong, and a gray-white turbid air is floating.
The Xuanshui turtle, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly trembled.
It couldn't help but widen its eyes, staring at the abnormal changes of Xuantian Gourd Vine.
Click!
There was another crisp sound, and the prototype of the extremely withered gourd fruit was separated from the vine and withered and fell.
