Chapter 404: Awakening to the past life, farewell to the abyss
After asking about the formation, the two of them talked about the demons who escaped from the Demon Sealing War.
"Jing returned from the coastal area of the Eastern Territory and got the exact news. The powerful Shadow Demon, who was suspected to be the peak of the fourth level, was hunted down by the strong hands of the Human Race's great monks and several Nascent Souls before he could recover. It is reported that the Shadow Demon and the Moon Demon The priests were forced to separate and flee, one to the open sea and the other to the inland state border..."
Jing Wufeng shared his information.
"Xiang has been in the central region and only got a general news. The identity of the two demons is not simple. It's a pity that they were not killed. They may cause trouble in other states in the future."
Lu Changan felt it was a pity that he could not completely eliminate the future troubles.
If that shadow demon returns to its peak level of fourth level, its speed will probably be faster than that of the Yuanying Great Monk. Together, the two of them will be no match.
Fortunately, two demon monks were injured and fled to another state, so there is no need to worry about threats for the time being.
Even if the devil holds a grudge and comes back in the future, Lu Changan will have returned to Daqing long ago.
…
In the evening, Lu Changan and Jing Wufeng passed through the sky above the territory of Dashan Mountain.
The Great Snake Mountain Formation is activated. The two Nascent Soul Masters have been keeping a low profile in recent years and do not go out much.
His disciples are also honest and avoid any disputes with the Yunxia Sect.
Even, Dashan Mountain took the initiative to give in on several controversial properties, giving up some of its interests in exchange for peace.
“Times have changed, and Dashan Mountain has become so timid. Ben Zhenjun is still not used to it..."
Lu Changan said with some regret.
In the past few years, he has been looking for opportunities to trick Dashan Mountain, but he can't find any.
Perhaps they are afraid of the reputation of the Double Dragons in the Central Realm, or they may have received advice from an expert, but the two Nascent Souls of Dashan Mountain have been living in obscurity in recent years.
Lu Changan can't attack the main gate of Dashan Mountain by force.
The forces protected by the fourth-order formation, with two Nascent Souls in charge, Lu Changan and Jing Wufeng couldn't do anything together.
Even the pagoda monk ran away without a trace.
However, before Lu Changan leaves the Great Yuan, he will bury a nail in Dashan Mountain.
The great elixir that swallowed the spirit of the Red Serpent King, Lu Changan knew the origin of the Pagoda Sanren, and it turned out to be the hidden clue of the Baqi Mountain.
The relationship between Dashan Mountain and Pagoda Sanren is good, and the two camps are betting on each other.
Before returning to Daqing, Lu Changan will secretly send this information to the Dayu royal family, and a divination master will determine the authenticity.
In this way, in the future, there will be only one Nascent Soul left in the Yunxia Sect, and the royal family will be more inclined to support the side of True Lord Zixia and be wary of Dashan Mountain.
To Yunxia Sect, he felt that he did not owe anything.
A few years ago, Lu Changan built a quasi-fourth-level puppet for the Yunxia Sect to enhance the sect's heritage.
Furthermore, a complete puppet inheritance was left behind, allowing the Yunxia Sect to cultivate puppet-making talents.
As the lucky star of the sect, Lu Changan carried the Xuantian Gourd Vine and took root in the mountain gate. The increased luck also allowed Yunxia Sect to produce talents in large numbers.
Zhenjun Zixia has Tianlinggen and has better qualifications than her senior brother Zhenjun Yunlan. There is hope for further advancement in the future.
…
Three years later.
Eastern Territory of the Great Abyss, over the endless sea area.
Above the clouds, the void trembled, and a deep and deep roar of whales could be heard. The sea beasts and human monks within hundreds of miles around were frightened.
The shadows of two huge void whales passed through the shallow layers of the void and were projected onto the surface of the sea.
One of the void whales is larger, like an island, with a large number of moss and ferns growing on its back.
Just the roar of the whale that penetrated the void, the monster in the sea that was slightly closer was shaken to pieces and its orifices were bleeding.
Phew!
A huge whirlpool of waves led by a circle of void shadows, swallowing up many fish, shrimps and sea beasts wherever it passed.
“Fellow Daoist Jing, I didn’t agree to hunt down an early-stage fourth-order void whale, but why is there an existence of a mid-stage fourth-order peak? I’m afraid even the great monks won’t be able to capture it.”
In front of the whirlpool of the void waves, two escaping lights were as small as fish and shrimps, and they were running away in panic.
Lu Changan and Jing Wufeng’s hair was messy and their robes were damaged.
Although the two of them were not injured, they were disgraced and their vitality was greatly reduced. They were frantically consuming mana and trying to escape with all their strength.
“Jing also didn’t expect that the Void Whale that failed to be hunted back then would find a more powerful mate in recent years.”
Jing Wufeng was panting and said rather speechlessly.
As the saying goes, plans cannot keep up with changes, and many plans will not develop according to personal will and ideals.
The two of them met to hunt the void whale. After searching for a long time, they found its hidden lair in the deep sea.
Unexpectedly, this time there was a mid-level fourth-order peak void whale. It was huge in size and had limited spatial powers. Jing Wufeng was also limited.
The two magical powers and secret techniques are similar to scraping. They cannot hurt each other at all, and they are both absorbed and dissolved by the magical powers.
On the other hand, even a casual sneeze by a Void Whale with Tianpin bloodline would make the two of them feel like they were facing a formidable enemy.
Lu Changan and Jing Wufeng were chased by two void whales for several days until they approached the coastline.
Finally, the two void whales slowed down and let out a whale roar that shook the sky and the sea, which seemed to be a warning.
They know that nearby is the territory of the Sixteenth Zhenhai Sect, which has many magical arrays to target the Sea Beast Demon King.
Back on land, the two of them were finally safe, looking at the shadows of the two giant whales that turned their heads and hid in the void.
“Unexpectedly, we, the ‘Double Dragons of the Central Region’, have always been unfavorable together, but our battle in the coastal waters of the Eastern Region ended in failure.”
Jing Wufeng was exhausted and sat down on the ground, looking miserable.
Lu Changan sat cross-legged and adjusted his breath. After thinking deeply, if he had a clear idea:
“Sure enough, there is no wrong name in the world of immortality.”
“How do you say this, fellow Taoist Xiang?”
Lu Changan analyzed with a serious face:
“The so-called ‘Two Dragons in the Central Realm’ means that we joined forces in the Central Realm, looked around, and never failed. But when we go to other realms, we don’t have this ability.”
Jing Wufeng was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly and slapped his thigh:
“That’s right! Fellow Taoist Xiang is worthy of being a fourth-level divination master!”
"It seems that the failure of this plan is due to the lack of adaptability to the climate. If we have any cooperation in the future, we will try our best to choose it in the Central Region."
The two looked at each other and laughed, and the depression of being chased away in a panic disappeared.
…
After a while, the two men recovered a lot of their mana.
“Fellow Daoist Xiang, these are some treasures and spiritual objects that Jing got from the Void Whale’s lair. We will distribute them together later.”
Jing Wufeng raised his hand and drew out a pile of spiritual shells, pearls, mineral crystals and other items.
“Diyanjun also bought some overseas goods.”
As soon as Lu Changan finished speaking, Lord Diyan appeared, opened his mouth and spit out something.
Di Yanjun’s harvest was not as large as Jing Wufeng’s, but there was a dark green spirit beast egg among them.
“Hey! Ink Kirin’s spirit beast egg.”
After Jing Wufeng’s appraisal, his eyes lit up and he couldn’t help but feel a little moved.
Lu Changan has a powerful spiritual pet, so he is naturally a little jealous. It's just that he doesn't look down on ordinary spiritual beasts, and it's difficult for him to advance to the fourth level.
Ink Qilin is a water-based heaven-level spiritual beast with excellent growth potential, magical powers and fighting skills.
After discussion, the harvest from the Void Whale's lair was given to Jing Wufeng from the Ink Qilin's spirit beast egg, while Lu Changan got all the other harvest, including several space-type ores.
The value of ungrown spiritual beasts is not as high as expected. Cultivating it to the level of Dan Formation and Nascent Soul requires a massive amount of resources, no less than that of humans.
If you want to grow faster, you will need several times more resources than humans.
“Jing also has a third-level longevity fruit here, which is the loss of fellow Taoist Xiang during this whale hunt.”
After Jing Wufeng got the ink unicorn egg, he made compensation.
While running away, Lu Changan Zhe Shou used the escape technique. One third-level longevity fruit is used as the main medicine, and combined with other auxiliary medicines, three third-level longevity pills can be refined.
Mosquito legs are also meat, and Lu Changan’s third-level longevity pill resistance has not been fully developed yet.
…
A few days later.
Lu Changan and Jing Wufeng parted ways in the Eastern Region, each purchasing the resources they needed.
Jing Wufeng hatched the ink unicorn eggs and purchased the corresponding water-based spiritual objects.
Before leaving, Lu Changan took the initiative to propose that the Evergreen Gong be used to nourish the unicorn egg and inject vitality into it, which would promote its healthier growth.
Now that the cultivation level is higher, even if the life span is only shortened by a few days, the effect is no less than the vitality nourishing effect injected into the Xuan Shui turtle eggs back then.
Jing Wufeng expressed his gratitude for this, saying that in the future, when Mo Qilin grows up, becomes fluent in human language, and recognizes Lu Changan as his adoptive father.
Lu Changan smiled and said nothing. He didn't know how many years it would take for him to see each other again after this separation.
“Tianyimen, Jingtianjun, the legendary Tianyijiu disciples…”
After they separated, Lu Changan murmured in his heart.
It turns out that after returning from the Demon Sealing War, Lu Changan consulted ancient books and information, including the relevant memories of several Nascent Soul levels, and screened the top ancient forces in Tianheng Continent.
Those top holy places in the world cannot guarantee that there will be a god-like heavenly king from generation to generation. In some eras, they will also fall into troughs and ups and downs.
However, there is a legendary "small sect" that is an exception.
Jing Wufeng is probably also aware of the difference between this whale hunting and the last cooperation.
It's just that both parties were tacitly understanding each other and did not reveal their identities.
…
One year later, Lu Changan quietly returned to the forbidden area of the Central Territory.
In the past half year, he purchased some more formation materials in the Eastern Region, as well as treasure materials to improve the supernatural peacock.
Having almost collected the materials for repairing the formation, Lu Changan decided to go to the secret place where the space formation was located.
The demonic tide in the Central Region has long passed, most of the demonic energy in the forbidden areas of the Central Region has dissipated, and the situation is relatively stable.
Before Lu Changan entered the ancient forbidden land, he performed divination again.
The situation of the last hexagram crisis was ups and downs, but now it has improved greatly.
“The seal of the Demon Abyss has been repaired, the demon has fled to other states, and the potential dangers have been basically eliminated.”
Lu Changan felt relieved, put on the long-lost [Hundred Fantasy Mask], and changed his identity.
Coupled with the aura of the [Black Wind Cloak], Lu Changan had no sense of presence in the forbidden area of the Central Territory, and it was relatively easy to penetrate deep.
As long as he doesn't seek death, provoke high-level monsters, or break into certain forbidden areas, Lu Changan is very safe in the forbidden areas of the Central Region at this stage.
Deliberately avoiding him, even the great monk Yuanying would have difficulty finding him.
Ten days later.
Lu Changan hid his whereabouts, was cautious, and finally arrived at a hidden cave in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.
The space formation cave built by Tinghai Pavilion has the effect of isolating the spiritual senses with its rock material, and there is also a formation prohibition in the cave.
There is a space node where the cave is located, which is the entrance location for the passage opened by the space formation.
“Fortunately, nothing has changed in ninety years.”
Lu Changan checked the formation situation.
The formation stone platform and the four formation pillars are silent.
The formation passages opened by Tinghai Pavilion are divided into primary and secondary formations. This is the main formation, which is the control hub.
The last time he left, Lu Changan closed it. Even if someone from Daqing found it, he couldn't teleport it.
Lu Changan touched the damaged formations on the stone platform and pillars, sorted out the repair plans in his mind, and confirmed them one by one.
A few days later.
Lu Changan combined the restoration plan in his mind with the scene, repeatedly simulated it, and even used extrapolation techniques.
Finally, Lu Changan took out a lot of materials and began to repair the formation.
In order to avoid material loss and damage to the formation, each step is verified repeatedly.
Half a month later, the formation materials in front of Lu Changan were exhausted.
“Basically completed, I don’t know how effective it will be.”
Lu Changan was a little excited and made a secret to activate the space formation.
Hum!
The space array of Tinghai Pavilion incorporates the power of water to relieve the pressure caused by space shuttle.
“Stability has improved compared to the previous year.”
Lu Changan observed for a long time and nodded secretly. He first sent out a puppet clone, passed through the dark blue light door, and entered the space passage.
After being promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, Lu Changan’s induction connection with the puppet clone, or the projection of the past life, is stronger.
Although he did not know the specific situation in the space channel, Lu Changan had a rough judgment and confirmed its safety situation.
After a cup of tea, the puppet clone followed the simple instructions, returned the same way, and stepped out of the dark blue light door.
This time it was just to test the stability of the space channel and did not reach Daqing at the other end.
“A third-level high-grade puppet, comparable to an individual in the late stage of pill formation, can travel safely.”
Lu Changan checked it and found that the puppet clone had almost no damage. At most, the watch case was slightly squeezed by the force of space.
Unlike the last time Lu Changan traveled, his robe was torn to pieces, his head was shaved off, and he was in a miserable state.
“Old Wei, do you want to try it?”
Lu Changan smiled and said, if the fourth-level puppets are safe, then there will be no problem for him.
"good."
Wei Puppet Master couldn't wait and turned into an afterimage and swept into the space passage.
After a moment, the middle-aged puppet in blue armor flashed out excitedly:
“Friend Lu, the stability of the space passage is enough to support the Nascent Soul cultivator.”
Lu Changan looked at the fourth-order puppet and found that its shell and head were slightly dented.
“It seems that powerful individuals at the Nascent Soul level will still cause certain fluctuations in the space channel. Although it will not cause death, there is a possibility of serious injury.”
After understanding the situation, Lu Changan made a basic judgment.
Finally, he asked Diyanjun to try again and the situation was similar to that of Wei Puppet Master.
“Don’t worry now, you can still save some materials to increase the stability of the formation.”
Lu Changan didn’t want to return to Daqing in an embarrassing state.
This is the first repair to achieve this effect and has met expectations.
When it comes to actual travel, there will be not just one Nascent Soul, but at least three, and the interference factors caused by space props must also be considered.
…
After returning to Yunxia Sect.
Lu Changan and Wei Puppet Master set about improving the supernatural peacock puppet, replacing some materials, or refining and strengthening them.
It took several months to successfully complete the upgrade of the Alien Peacock. Its outline has not changed much, but its size has doubled.
“The requirements for materials for the supernatural puppet are too high, and this bird is just the beginning of the fourth level.”
Lu Changan let out a long sigh of relief.
A five-color peacock with wings spread seven to eight feet, floating gracefully and gracefully in the mid-air, its green eyes lit up, five-color light flowing between its wings, exuding the aura of ancient and chaotic blood.
The powerful spiritual pressure is comparable to that of Diyan Lord when he was promoted to the fourth level Demon King.
In frontal combat, the Alien Peacock Puppet may not be outstanding among the fourth-level players, but it has good mobility and possesses special five-color auras.
Lu Changan conducted a simple test and found that Lord Diyan’s demon power shield was easily dimmed and shattered by the five-color aura.
After the puppet was completed, Lu Changan sent Wei Puppet Master to continue purchasing materials to repair the formation.
Lu Changan also took the time to attend an auction and a small gathering of Yuanying monks. It's just a small amount of space treasure materials and conventional formation materials, so there's no need to worry about leaks.
…
Time flies, and another two and a half years have passed.
Lu Changan is nearly 412 years old and has been in Dayuan for more than 90 years.
On this day, in the sky above the main cave of Yunlan Peak, the heaven and earth condensed energy, and the spiritual energy was covered with clouds.
“The vision of forming an elixir!”
“At Yunlan Peak! The one who attacks the pill formation should be Butler Xiao.”
Many monks from the Yunxia Sect looked at the hinterland where the sect's fourth-level spiritual veins were located, with many envious eyes.
It is said that Xiao Qingshan was well prepared for forming the elixir, and both True Lords provided help, and their treatment was comparable to that of golden elixir seeds.
Seven days later, the strange phenomenon of elixir formation disappeared, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth dispersed steadily.
“The quality of true elixirs in the middle and upper reaches.”
Lu Changan’s spiritual consciousness paid attention to Xiao Qingshan throughout the whole process and did not disappoint.
Although Xiao Qingshan's spiritual roots are not outstanding, he is gifted in the side sect and will help on the road to immortality.
At that time, the ancestor of Tianluo had no Tao body or earthly spiritual roots. With the help of the side door of Yin and Yang, he formed the Nascent Soul through many opportunities.
In the history of the world of immortality, "Longyang Dajun", the son of bad luck with spiritual roots, relied on the art of Yin and Yang cultivation to change his fate against the will of heaven, and finally reached the pinnacle of the human world and became the "Yunei Qiren Series" of Tianheng Continent.
However, King Longyang was in the distant Middle Ages, when the resources of heaven and earth were better than today, and he lacked sophistication.
Lu Changan has never found such strong luck in Xiao Qingshan.
Lu Changan once speculated that Xiao Qingshan's side talent may come from Li Erqing's experience in his previous life, where he continued to get married and have children, which brought good luck.
Yun Ling, the reincarnation of Guan Qiaozhi, has good qualifications in drawing talismans.
…
Ten days later.
Xiao Qingshan came out of seclusion after consolidating his realm and met with Lu Changan immediately.
“Thank you to Elder Xiang for cultivating me. Qingshan is fortunate enough to form a true elixir. I cannot repay this kindness in one lifetime.”
Xiao Qingshan bowed deeply and looked at the youthful man in white in front of him, feeling in a trance.
At this moment, the familiar feeling was stronger than ever.
He hesitated for a moment and stopped talking.
“Haha, our fate is indeed more than one life.”
Lu Changan chuckled loudly, knowing that Xiao Qingshan had awakened to some vague fragments of his past life.
“Brother Lu...Brother Lu?”
Xiao Qingshan opened his mouth wide, and his instinctive call came from the scene in his dream.
Even though his memory was vague and he didn’t know the specific relationship, he shouted instinctively.
“Since you can call me big brother, I’ll give you some advice.”
Lu Changan's eyes were deep, as if they were haunted by the cycle of time, and he stretched his fingers towards Xiao Qingshan's eyebrows.
Hum!
The frame seal of the fourth generation in the Nine Seal Monument, the light and shadow of the Master Lihuo are partially dimmed.
A ray of crystal white light circulated, turning into a shallow ray of [Reincarnation Power], following Lu Changan's fingers, and injecting Xiao Qingshan's soul.
After a long time, Xiao Qingshan woke up leisurely.
“I was a young farmer in my previous life, Li Ergou…”
“No, I am Li Erqing. I walked on the path of immortality in my previous life and became the son-in-law of the Mu family in Feiyue Lake…”
The huge memory of the past life broke through a certain barrier and poured out in his sea of consciousness.
“Brother Lu, it’s really you!”
In a short period of time, looking back at his life of more than two hundred years in his previous life, Xiao Qingshan shed tears in his eyes and couldn't help but hold on to Lu Changan's hand.
The current Xiang Zhenjun has the same appearance as Brother Lu in his previous life, except for a few extra silver-white hairs, which add a bit of vicissitudes of temperament.
“Brother Lu, how many years has it been since I died?”
Awakened Xiao Qingshan from his previous life and asked many questions.
“Feiyue Lake Mu family…Xuemei Mountain Li family, how are those unworthy descendants doing? Have they caused you any trouble?”
“What is the final situation of the Demonic War? Has the Immortal Realm of Liang Kingdom been captured?”
Lu Changan looked at him with a smile and answered in a gentle voice.
After a long time, Xiao Qingshan finally calmed down and broke away from the flood of emotions in his previous life.
“Qingshan! You have to understand what is more important between this life and the previous life.”
Lu Changan's voice shocked Xiao Qingshan, and he quickly realized himself.
Most of the monks who break the mystery of the womb focus on this life. Even if you awaken from your past life, most of it will be like yesterday's dream and you will eventually return to reality.
Unless the level of cultivation in the previous life is very high, the proportion of memory is much higher than that in this life.
When Xiao Qingshan reached the stage of alchemy cultivation, he naturally focused on this life.
“Digesting your past lives well may help your spiritual practice and enlightenment.”
Lu Changan patted Xiao Qingshan on the shoulder and asked him to figure it out on his own.
…
Two months later.
Xiao Qingshan held an elixir knotting ceremony at Qingluan Peak.
Qingluan Peak, where Lu Changan practiced, was specially allocated to Xiao Qingshan as a training ground.
The specifications of this celebration were quite satisfactory.
But the two Nascent Soul Lords of the Yunxia Sect were both present at the celebration.
“Unknowingly, Yunxia Sect has given birth to so many rising stars.”
On the day of the celebration, Lu Changan discovered some new faces, such as the rising foundation-building genius and the newly promoted alchemy monk.
Lu Changan joined the Yunxia Sect. For more than ninety years, the sect has been developing prosperously and has produced numerous talents.
The sect’s fortune is strong. Even if Lu Changan leaves, it will not fall quickly and will remain so for several years.
“I’ve met Xiang Zhenjun.”
Three great monks, including Master Xuefeng, Master Huadu, and Master Caixia, all arrived one by one.
Lu Changan and True Lord Zixia sit side by side, like a true monarch and his wife, even more suitable than they were during the time of True Lord Yunlan.
After attending this celebration, Lu Changan will return to Daqing.
Therefore, he cherished this gathering, exchanged feelings, and gave a few words to the senior monks who were familiar with greetings.
“Haoran, come sit here and have a few drinks with your Uncle Xiang.”
Zhenjun Zixia called his most valued disciple, Jiang Haoran of the Immortal Golden Pill, whose cultivation was approaching the late stage of pill formation.
“Uncle Xiang, Haoran would like to toast you.”
Jiang Haoran is no longer the young man he was back then. As a Jindan monk, he has a majestic appearance and stands out among his contemporaries, with a hint of arrogance.
However, in front of Lu Changan, he behaved respectfully and well-behaved.
Lu Changan looked at Jiang Haoran's appearance and calculated silently for a moment, predicting that there would be a calamity before the baby was born. The details are still unknown.
He sent a message to Fairy Zixia, and paying attention to it at a certain point in time could help her survive the disaster.
Jiang Ziyan looked solemn and remembered this time point.
“Master Le, is there any clear response?”
Lu Changan asked again.
“Master Le said that the promise made back then will not be used in the short term. However, I hope you will show up at the Alchemy Alliance before you wander around.”
“Also good.”
Lu Changan nodded, and his affairs with Dayuan were settled.
…
In the evening, the celebration ended.
Zhenjun Zixia drank a lot of high-grade spiritual wine, and her face became reddish and incomparably beautiful.
She did not deliberately sober up, but with a bit of drunkenness, she let Lu Changan support her and returned to Zixia Peak Cave Mansion.
This night, the two of them said nothing, and their bodies and souls became one.
Spiritual communication, spiritual communication, everything is unspoken.
Early morning the next day.
Fairy Zixia opened her starry eyes, and her vision was full of chaos, but there was no sign of Lu Changan.
Yunlan Peak, Qingluan Peak, Underground Palace Dojo…
In the entire Yunxia Sect, there is no trace of Lu Changan's two main favors, and there is even some method to eliminate the relevant traces.
(End of this chapter)
