Chapter 382 The Secret Technique of the Demon
“Meet the True Lord Evergreen.”
Hu Ang stood on the outside of the crowd, bowing humbly, looking at the newly promoted Nascent Soul holding the moon among the stars, but couldn't get close at all.
He didn’t want to get close either.
At this moment, I didn’t dare to express my enthusiasm, and my heart was trembling. I laughed and congratulated from the outside, acting as the atmosphere team.
Xiang Dalong successfully passed three stages of the Nascent Soul Tribulation, and the success was beyond his expectation.
Especially the last tribulation, which seems long in the world of inner demons, is less than half an hour in the outside world.
Fast catastrophe means that one has a strong mind and will and is not bewitched by external demons.
“Fortunately, I have been patient and didn’t reveal my fault.”
“Both Xiang Dalong and Di Yanjun were promoted to the fourth level, which is extraordinary, and their origins are by no means simple.”
Hu Ang was still frightened, but fortunately he had not provoked Xiang Dalong before and had not leaked his identity information.
Before Xiang Dalong gave birth to a baby, he thought that he would still have opportunities to plan and make a comeback in the future.
Nowadays, Xiang Dalong and Diyan Junzhong have joined forces and are definitely the best in the early stage of Nascent Soul.
Even though he was at the pinnacle of his previous life, he still had to retreat and had no chance of winning.
What's more, Jiang Ziyan colluded with this person and completely controlled the sect that she worked so hard to manage, and her confidants who were once in key positions were replaced.
Looking at Jiang Ziyan, who was chatting with True Lord Evergreen, smiling sweetly and having tender eyes, Hu Ang hid his jealousy deeply.
He realized that it was impossible to take revenge and regain the power of the sect by relying on his own strength alone.
“Fellow Taoists, a certain family’s newly promoted Nascent Soul still needs to consolidate its realm. I will entertain you next time I leave the customs.”
After a brief exchange with Fairy Zixia, Lu Changan returned the greeting to everyone.
“Congratulations to Mr. Xiang Zhen.”
Under the admiration and admiration of many people, Lu Changan returned to the underground palace dojo under the protection of Lord Diyan.
“Congratulations, master, for being promoted to the Nascent Soul stage.”
There was no one around, so Mr. Diyan spoke out his congratulations.
Throughout the process of overcoming the tribulation, Lord Diyan has been silently protecting the law in the underground palace, becoming the greatest security guarantee.
Previously, Lu Changan also arranged for Wei Puppet Master and Yi Ling Peacock to provide secret support to prevent hostile forces from causing trouble.
Facts have proved that the Yunxia Sect has opened a large formation and is on full alert. Just the power of protecting the law on the surface makes it impossible for the outside world to penetrate.
“Thank you for your hard work these past few years.”
Lu Changan was in a good mood and rewarded Lord Diyan with the quasi-fourth-level essence elixir he had previously obtained.
In the past few years of traveling, Lord Diyan acted as a dog demon, traveling through the dust and killing enemies. When he was promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, he also provided loyal support.
“Thank you, master.”
Di Yanjun looked overjoyed and took the great elixir from the Red Flame Serpent, which he had been coveting for a long time.
…
The day Lu Changan consolidated his seclusion.
The whole Yunxia Sect celebrated happily, and the disciples received an extra 50% of their monthly salary.
The Qingluan Peak, the third-level cave where Lu Changan was previously located, was visited by an endless stream of visitors.
The real elixirs and fake elixirs in the sect did not dare to disturb Lu Changan who was in seclusion in the underground palace, so they came to visit the chief steward of the cave, Xiao Qingshan.
It is well known in Yunxia Sect that Xiao Qingshan is Xiang Zhenjun’s only confidant.
Xiao Qingshan, who was in the late stage of foundation building, was befriended by the senior elders of the sect and showed his favor.
Faced with those Master Jiedan who personally visited and gave gifts, Xiao Qingshan was flattered.
Fortunately, after experiencing the change in treatment when Lord Diyan was promoted to the fourth level, Xiao Qingshan has seen the world and socializes in a neither humble nor overbearing manner.
Di Yanjun and Lu Changan were promoted to the fourth level successively. The monk who regretted the most in Yunxia Sect was undoubtedly the master and disciple of Yumei Zhenren.
Yumei Zhenren was once introduced to Lu Changan by the former head of Hu Sect. At that time, he was still seeking advantage, but later the relationship became cold.
Yu Mei's disciple "Yi Shuzhen" was engaged to Xiao Qingshan in his early years. Later, seeing Xiao Qingshan's downfall, he broke up peacefully and canceled the engagement through the bitter love card.
The above past is not a secret in Yunxia Sect. It would have been gradually faded and forgotten as time goes by.
Now that Elder Xiang has been promoted to Nascent Soul, Xiao Qingshan’s status has risen sharply, and past events have been brought up again, turned into a laughing stock, and repeatedly criticized.
On the other hand, the deceased Sect Leader Hu promised Xiao Qingshan an outstanding female cultivator in the clan as his concubine, thus establishing a strong network of connections for the Hu family.
Yumei Zhenren’s third-level cave.
Yi Shuzhen looked haggard, and her exquisite makeup could not hide her sadness and low mood.
When she learned that Elder Xiang had been promoted to Nascent Soul, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning, filled with regret, and felt as if her heart was bleeding.
These days, she dare not go out.
The monks who knew each other in the circle used her as a laughing stock, even openly and implicitly, laughing at her short-sightedness and stupidity.
“Shu Zhen, you have been stagnant in the middle stage of foundation building for many years. I have arranged for you to be stationed abroad for a period of ten years.”
Master Yumei's tone was cold. Because of this female disciple, her own reputation was implicated and damaged, and she felt disgusted.
“Master, please give Shuzhen another chance! Even if I am a cow or a horse, I must serve my master.”
Yi Shuzhen looked pale and knelt down to beg.
Once you leave the core circle of the sect and are transferred to other places, the welfare rewards will be reduced, and the cultivation environment will be poor, you may have no hope of forming elixirs for life, and fake elixirs are just a luxury.
“Go!”
Zhenren Yumei was fed up and sent Yi Shuzhen away.
A few days ago, Xiang Dalong formed a Nascent Soul, and when the monks congratulated her, she couldn't even get close to talk.
As for Yi Shuzhen, Xiao Qingshan has long ignored it. This son is enjoying the blessings of his family, and his two wives are now better than Yi Shuzhen.
“Xue Feng, tomorrow you will come with me to Qingluan Peak to visit Xiao Qingshan.”
Zhenren Yumei thought for a moment and summoned the youngest and most beautiful new disciple.
…
In the past few days, all the major alchemy factions in the sect are looking for female disciples or clan girls to be Xiao Qingshan's concubines.
Even the disciple of Zhenjun Zixia and a female disciple of Zhenjun Xiuyu also accompanied the master to visit Xiao Qingshan.
The senior officials of the sect have a keen sense of smell. Master Xiuyu’s actions were probably under the instruction of the Supreme Elder.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the combined strength of Xiang Zhenjun and Diyan Lord Chong is equivalent to two Nascent Soul monks, and their top combat power is enough to suppress Fairy Zixia.
Fortunately, Zixia Zhenjun and Xiang Zhenjun have known each other for a long time and have a deep friendship.
Some of the alchemy monks in the sect admired the Supreme Elder's vision, and before Xiang Dalong gave birth to a baby, they built a relationship with him and made him his subordinate.
Since they are not a Taoist couple, the newly promoted Xiang Zhenjun is theoretically "single".
However, out of concern for the Supreme Elder, the senior officials of the sect did not dare to take any ideas from Xiang Zhenjun, such as sending some beautiful concubines to shorten the relationship.
As a result, Xiao Qingshan became the target of strategy and wooing.
Xiao Qingshan faces many temptations, not limited to beauty, but also wealth, treasures, and resources for cultivating immortals.
The master of a certain faction has even hinted that he is willing to fund his future efforts to form alchemy.
Even his wives and concubines, Si Lu and Hu Lirong, were either overtly or covertly solicited to show their favor.
Xiao Qingshan was sober-minded and only accepted some ordinary gifts. Those gifts to his concubines and those that supported bribery were declined one by one.
Xiao Qingshan didn't want to offend the marriage intention of several high-ranking people, so he had to wait for Xiang Zhenjun to go into seclusion before making a decision.
“Xiang Zhenjun…Lu Zhenjun…”
In the early morning of this day, Xiao Qingshan woke up from his quiet state. The man in white who had appeared in his dreams in the past was similar to Xiang Zhenjun, who had successfully conceived a baby that day.
The recent dream has made another progress. The identity of the man in white is known to outsiders as "Zhenren Lu".
I just vaguely remembered that this Mr. Lu once called himself "Two Dogs", which made him feel more cordial.
“Is there really a theory of reincarnation in the world?”
Xiao Qingshan vaguely felt that this newly promoted Xiang Zhenjun might have some connection with the man in white in the dream.
When Elder Xiang got along with him, he was approachable and familiar, giving him a feeling of unconditional trust.
Taoist companion Si Lu once wondered why Elder Xiang chose him to be his only confidant.
In this world, is there any good without a reason?
…
The secret palace of the underground palace.
While Lu Changan was consolidating his realm, he was also examining his own situation.
Compared to the Dan-formation stage, mana and spiritual consciousness are not the same.
Lu Changan’s soul is naturally powerful due to his experience in several lifetimes. After being promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, his consciousness has become comparable to the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage.
If it is integrated with the fourth life, the spiritual consciousness may be no less than that of the giants in the middle Yuanying period.
“The life span has increased by 900, and today’s total life span has reached 2018…”
The theoretical lifespan of the Nascent Soul stage can reach 1,200 years old, and most people can live to about 1,000 years old.
From the Dan Formation Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage, a normal monk's life expectancy should be six hundred years, and for some top-level wood-type health-preserving skills, it would be 10 to 20 percent longer. Lu Changan practiced the Evergreen Gong, and his life span was 50% longer than that of the same level, so his life span was increased by 900 years.
“By the way, [Nine-Seal Monument] seems to have swallowed something.”
Lu Changan thought about the abnormality after overcoming the inner demon tribulation, and heard the roar of the outer demon in his ears.
Consciousness enters the Jiuyin Monument to detect abnormalities.
The handsome man in the first life, the white-bearded old man in the second life, Lu Changan in the third life, and the purple-robed Taoist in the fourth life.
These have not changed.
The only exception is the fifth generation frame seal of the Nine-Seal Stele.
In the original fifth life, three Nascent Soul spirits were swallowed up, and 30% of them were lit up.
At this moment, the frame seal of the fifth life is fully lit up by 50%!
“Could this extra 20% be caused by extraterrestrial demons…”
Lu Changan speculated, secretly shocked.
According to the vague information he learned from the Nine-Seal Monument, swallowing a god-turned-celestial king can directly light up the fifth life.
Or ten Nascent Soul spirit bodies.
Whether it is the early stage of Yuanying or the middle or late stage of Yuanying, there is no difference in their essence, they are all counted as one.
And this extraterrestrial demon seems to be a great tonic, and it actually caused 20% of the Nine Seal Monument to light up directly in the fifth generation.
Although he is not as good as the Heavenly King of Transformation, he is worse than the Nascent Soul cultivator.
This is the third thing that Lu Changan knows that lights up the Nine Seal Monument, after Baisu Soul Gu and Nascent Soul Spirit Body.
“In this way, if you swallow five more Nascent Soul spirit bodies, you can light up the fifth life.”
Lu Changxin is hopeful.
In the past, the reincarnation of the body was completely passive and had no room for independent operation.
However, even if Lu Changan is promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, it will not be that easy to capture and devour the Nascent Soul spirit body.
With the fourth-level puppet and demon king, it is not difficult for Lu Changan to defeat the early stage of Nascent Soul.
It is not difficult to kill the physical body.
It would be difficult to capture the Yuanying spirit body.
The main reason is that Lu Changan has no means to escape from the Nascent Soul.
This method often requires special magical objects from heaven and earth, the development of magical powers, or magical weapons.
Back then, True Monarch Pagoda and True Monarch Red Snake ambushed Fairy Zixia. They did not intend to kill her, but forced her opponent to self-destruct and abandon her body.
The veteran Yuanying does not have the means, and Lu Changan, as a new Yuanying, naturally does not have it either.
Or, if the magical power is one level stronger, the Nascent Soul spirit body will not even have a chance to escape. That would only be possible at least in the middle stage of Nascent Soul.
If you reach the level of a great Yuanying monk, you can easily do this without relying on external objects.
One of the reasons why the great monk Yuanying has a high status is that he breaks the convention that ordinary true kings cannot fall easily.
As a newly promoted Yuanying, Lu Changan currently has obvious advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage is that it has strong self-protection ability and is powerful in numbers. Even in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, it is difficult to threaten its life.
The disadvantage is that the attack is insufficient.
Hence, the difficulty of capturing Yuanying of the same level is not low.
Three Yuanying spirit bodies that I have obtained.
One is to pick up leaks.
Secondly, his cultivation level was low at that time and he was deceptive, which gave the Nine Seal Monument the opportunity to devour it.
Among them, Master Lihuo severely wounded the weak Nascent Soul and took away his body, almost giving him nothing.
With the other two Nascent Souls devoured, Lu Changan had the preliminary strength to compete with the Nascent Souls, and his goal was not to be at full strength.
If Lu Changan was a Nascent Soul cultivator, the True Lord of the same level would definitely be wary of him, but there would be no such good opportunity.
…
Lu Changan approached the new areas illuminated by the fifth life with curiosity and caution.
“It is indeed an extraterrestrial demon. The memory fragments are absurd and bizarre, completely different from the main world.”
It is even more difficult for Lu Changan to sort out the memory information of the demon. Unless he is promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, it will not be possible at all.
A month later, Lu Changan's realm was initially consolidated, and some information was obtained from the area illuminated by the demon outside the territory.
The extraterrestrial demon comes from another dimensional world. It is said to be the opposite dark side of the main world. All kinds of negative emotions of living beings can become their nourishment.
The body of extraterrestrial demons generally does not enter the human world, but invades the minds of monks with special demonic thoughts.
During the tribulation, influenced by the rules of heaven and earth, the power of the demonic thoughts of external demons can take advantage of the situation and form a tribulation of inner demons to prevent practitioners who violate the way of nature.
“The Great Self-Devil, Longjia.”
From the incomplete memory fragments of the Heavenly Demon, Lu Changan learned the name of its true form, which seemed to be somewhat famous in the world.
What the Nine Seal Monument swallowed was not its own body, but the "Longjia" demonic clone that invaded here, and only had a little memory ability of the other party.
This demonic avatar is proficient in a secret method of inner demons. It is especially effective against monks who have obvious flaws in their mental state or whose soul is lower than their own.
For monks with a firm will and a higher level of cultivation, it is of little use.
“So it’s a magical skill to torture vegetables? But Ben Zhenjun likes it!”
Lu Changan happens to have a strong spiritual consciousness, so he can try to practice this inner demon secret method in the future.
Theoretically speaking, Yuanying monks have powerful souls and can practice this secret method of inner demons with slight modifications and localization.
In fact, in the inheritance of demonic sects, some of the secret techniques of the soul that affect the soul come from the demons.
“Outer demons are not only intelligent, they can even be said to be knowledgeable. No wonder many scenes that happen in the world of inner demons are perfectly logical.”
Lu Changan recalled some of the information in the Heart Demon Tribulation scene and speculated that 70% of it was true and 30% was false.
Only if it is logical and contains mostly real information, can it be natural and fake be confused with the real.
“Hey! In the scene where the inner demon world was conceived, the [Nine-Seal Monument] and the Xuantian Gourd Vine did not appear.”
Lu Changan was keenly aware of this.
Perhaps it is the inherent ability of the Xuantian Treasure, which is similar to blocking the calculation of heavenly secrets, so that the inner demon cannot obtain the corresponding memory information for evolution.
Of course it is also related to strength.
The great free demon named "Longjia" invaded just as a demonic clone, and its level was at most between Nascent Soul and Transformation God.
…
After consolidating his realm, Lu Changan achieved the surging heartbeat of Yuanying True Monarch and returned to calm.
Looking forward to the future, there are still many things he needs to do.
First of all, when you first enter the Nascent Soul, you need to cultivate special magical powers, develop powerful and compatible magic weapons, and strengthen the shortcomings of "insufficient attack".
During the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, the quality of Lu Changan's three nail-headed arrows has improved, and they are considered to be the best among high-grade magic weapons.
However, the nail-head arrow is a vicious and secretive magic weapon. It is not suitable for head-on confrontation and has no ability to retain people.
Lu Changan plans to create a conventional magic weapon for frontal fighting and protection, preferably a wood magic weapon.
Second, the follow-up cultivation method of "The Evergreen Gong of Ancient Trees".
The Evergreen Kung Fu obtained by Lu Changan in his previous life was only the first volume, and there was no chapter on the cultivation after Nascent Soul.
Without follow-up skills, Lu Changan can only simply accumulate mana, and his practice progress will be half the result with half the effort, and it is difficult to break through the middle stage of Nascent Soul.
Fortunately, Lu Changan has two clues about the subsequent cultivation of Changqing Gong.
“In addition to Dakun in his previous life, the ‘Aoki True Lord’ who also practices the Evergreen Gong may also have the follow-up skills of the Evergreen Gong.”
In view of this situation, Lu Changan formulated a plan for the next few decades.
“In the Great Abyss, where the land is vast and rich in resources, we will accumulate some more years. When our strength in all aspects is enhanced to the extreme, we can go back to Daqing through the space formation channel.”
Lu Changan controls the formation channels and can advance and retreat freely.
Even, there is a chance to become the villain of two major realms.
The premise is that he needs to repair the formation channel and strive to be able to shuttle through the Yuanying monks.
Although Daqing is lagging behind, it has an advantage.
That is safety.
Daqing is affected by the environment of heaven and earth, and it is difficult to give birth to a great monk.
Lu Changan returned to his hometown. Not to say he was invincible, at least he could be at ease. No one could kill him alone.
Looking at the world of immortal cultivation in Dayuan, in addition to the three major monks, there are also relatively more people in the middle stage of Nascent Soul.
Based on the description of the Yuanying Great Monk in True Monarch Chahai's memory, if Lu Changan faced him alone, he would have a narrow escape from death, and there would be no chance of winning.
“The temple is small and the demons are strong, but the pool is shallow and there are many bastards.”
“If you can get the follow-up skills of Evergreen Kung Fu, it would be a good choice to take revenge on those who abuse vegetables when Da Qing Gou reaches the middle stage of Nascent Soul.”
