Chapter 436: King of Black Mist, Lonely Soul Wildfire
From the Seven Nations to the vicinity of the Black Mist Mountains adjacent to the Wealth Alliance.
A ray of green light burning with blood was like a **** meteor streaking into the black mist mountains. The speed is so fast that it even exceeds the normal escape speed in the middle stage of Nascent Soul.
Half an hour later.
A man in green robes with a full heaven and an ordinary face fell into a valley deep in the Black Mist Mountains.
"What a bad luck! The leader of the demon sect, one of the strongest men in Daqing, is pursuing an early Nascent Soul to the death."
The man in green robe sat cross-legged, his face slightly pale, and he was running the "Eternal Green Technique" to restore his mana and vitality.
He sealed his magic power in the Seven Kingdoms Alliance, concealed his presence, and finally found a good opportunity to quietly go to the Wei Dao Alliance.
I don’t know where there was a flaw, but the man in green robe was targeted by the second Nascent Soul of the leader of the Demon Sect, the "Demon Lord of the Styx".
The second Nascent Soul of the Great Elder of the Mingquan Sect, its magical power is no less than that of the middle Nascent Soul.
The man in green robe has the confidence to compete, but once he fights with the "Second Nascent Soul", he will attract support from other Nascent Souls from the Six Demonic Sects.
The worst outcome is that the Great Elder of the Mingquan Sect comes to kill him, which would be dangerous.
The Styx Demon Lord is good at tracking him. The man in green robe tried many methods but could not get rid of him completely.
Every time you use "Blood God Escape", you will lose a lot of energy, blood, vitality, and even life span. If you are not a practitioner of "Evergreen Gong", you will simply not be able to afford such a price.
“I hope that the strange black mist and the evil aura in the Black Mist Mountains can hinder that person’s tracking sense.”
The man in green robe uses the Qi-condensing method of Changqing Gong, combined with the secret technique of camouflage, to blend in with the surrounding vegetation.
He knows some rumors about the Black Mist Mountains.
It is said that deep in this mountain range that crosses Daqing and has many branches, there is a "human-faced dragon" who is a descendant of the true spirit.
The descendant of the true spirit has a long lifespan, several times longer than that of humans. He has reached an agreement with the previous leader of Daqing Zhengmo and is not in conflict with human civilization.
Whoosh!
Hundreds of miles away, a piece of dim, dark yellow water with a diameter of dozens of feet shuttled across the sky, like a mysterious cross-border Styx.
Wow!
The piece of netherworld water gathered and solidified in the void. There was a dark spiritual baby in the center, which was quickly wrapped and covered by the netherworld water, outlining a yellow-robed true king with a strange face and majestic bearing.
The mysterious True Lord transformed from Ming Shui pinched his fingers to sense it, and his brows gradually furrowed.
Finally, he took a deep look at the general direction where Lord Aoki was hiding.
“The Holy Sect has not yet completely dominated the Eastern Region, and the ten sects of the Xuanmen have not stopped their calculations and small actions behind the scenes. It is not appropriate to create extraneous matters now..."
The yellow-robed True Monarch transformed by Ming Shui had no expression on his face and was thinking secretly.
Phew! call out!
His body shape returned to a piece of dark water, crossing the black foggy sky and leaving the depths of the Black Mist Mountains.
…
Phew!
Hide in the deep valley, Lord Aoki couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
“The bet was right!”
"The second Nascent Soul of the Styx Demon Lord does not want to fight with me in the depths of the Black Mist Mountains, attracting the prying eyes of the fourth-level demon king in the Black Mist Mountains. Especially the legendary 'King of Black Mist', so Even if the elder of the Mingquan Sect comes in person, he won’t get any favors.”
After Aoki Makoto went deep into the Black Mist Mountains, he found that the operation of mana was a little obscure and the recovery of mana was obviously slow.
This is all affected and weakened by the strange black fog.
Deep in the mountains, Yuanying monks of the same level are facing off against the fourth-level demon king, and the latter will have a geographical advantage.
The reason why the Styx Demon King's second Nascent Soul took action against him has been revealed before during the tracking negotiations.
It turns out that the Mingquan Sect is the top sect of the ancient Daqing inheritance. There are related records of the "Ancient Wood Evergreen Technique" in the sect's classics, and it knows some secrets.
Ten thousand years ago, the legendary monk Yan Donglai arrived in Daqing.
At that time, the leaders of the good and evil paths had the honor to meet and talk with Yan Donglai, including the head cultivator of the Mingquan Sect at that time.
When chasing Aoki, the Second Yuanying once expressed that he had no ill intentions toward him and hoped that Aoki could join the Mingquan Sect and would be treated as an honored guest.
How could Lord Aoki easily believe in the promise of the Demon Sect?
Even if the Mingquan Sect sincerely recruits people, this is not a good choice. By then, there will inevitably be a lot more restrictions, and there will not be as much freedom as now.
For example, the Mingquan Sect asked him to sacrifice his life span to save an important monk, or to give birth to strange objects in the world. Even if he was paid enough, he would be reluctant to do this.
“Whether this trip to the Wei Dao League is successful or not, we will have to leave Qingzhou afterwards.”
Shenjun Aoki secretly made up his mind.
For some reason, it is extremely difficult to break through the realm after practicing Changqing Gong to the Nascent Soul stage.
Although in the realm of Daqingzhou, shackled by the spiritual veins of heaven and earth and luck, the middle stage of Nascent Soul is basically the limit, and promotion is inherently difficult.
Most polymorphic babies cannot be promoted to the middle stage in their lifetime. This is normal.
Shenjun Aoki has an intuition that if he can devour the Evergreen Dao Fruit of another "junior disciple", he can successfully advance to the middle stage and truly look down on Daqing from then on.
Although that "junior brother" was promoted to Nascent Soul, his cultivation and magic power were not as good as his, and his accumulation of knowledge was at least two hundred years behind.
From the existing information, True Lord Aoki knows that Lu Changqing has a fourth-level demon king.
But decades ago, he secretly cultivated a fourth-level spiritual beast in the Southern Region, and he also had other hidden trump cards.
Hence, Mr. Aoki is full of confidence.
He has an advantage in cultivation. Before Lu Changqing reaches the peak of the early Yuanying stage, he has the last window to make a move.
Shenjun Aoki recovered his mana, observed the surrounding environment, and planned the timing and direction to leave the Black Mist Mountains.
He wanted to prevent the Styx Demon Lord from squatting outside the Black Mist Mountains. To be on the safe side, he had to wait at least a few more years.
At this time.
Aoki Shin-kun felt inexplicably uneasy, and had the illusion of being scrutinized by an unknown being.
His consciousness scanned the surrounding area, but due to the strange black mist, the range was limited and he found nothing nearby.
…
at the same time.
On the red and black peak dozens of miles away, there stood a mysterious, tall, green-faced man.
The green-faced man is obviously from a foreign race. He has horns on his head and his long arms are covered with thin dark blue scales. The facial features and upper body are similar to those of humans. The lower body is not legs, but a smooth dragon tail floating three feet above the ground.
At this moment, the uncrowned king in the black mist mountains looked down at the green-robed man in the deep valley in the distance through the heavy black mist with indifferent eyes.
“Lord Qingmian, in recent years human monks have frequently entered the Black Mist Mountains and hunted high-level tribesmen. This Nascent Soul monk dared to break into the hinterland of the Black Mist Mountains and violated the agreement..."
In the black mist behind the human-faced dragon man, a demon king in the form of a silver-moon complexion with a wolf head and body appeared.
This demon king in disguise is a Sky Wolf of earthly bloodline.
In front of the green-faced dragon man, the Sky Moon Wolf King showed an expression of awe and compliments, and an instinctive fear and surrender emerged deep in his blood.
"This person is suspected to be a practitioner of the Evergreen Gong. It cannot be ruled out that he may be the chess piece layout of Yan Donglai's time. It is not suitable to intervene in this kind of cause and effect. Moreover, this person is an enemy of the demon leader and has not hunted monsters in the Black Mist Mountains. …”
The green-faced man's face was calm and unmoved by the words of the Sky Moon Wolf King.
“Well, when it comes to the legendary monk Yan Donglai, you must be more cautious.”
The Sky Moon Wolf King nodded in agreement, and in the depths of his silver eyes, a faint green light flashed past.
If Lu Changan and the former Zhao Siyao saw this Sky Moon Wolf King, they would definitely feel familiar.
“The more chaotic the human race’s cultivating forces are, the better.”
The human-faced dragon withdrew its gaze from looking down at True Lord Aoki, seeming to sense the latter's intuition.
As a descendant of the true spirit, it also has its own limitations and helplessness.
For so many years, I have been trapped in the Black Mist Mountains and my cultivation has been unable to progress further.
The higher the bloodline talent, the higher the requirements for the growth environment, and the required resources are lost.
Shallow water cannot breed true dragons, but is more suitable for **** to survive.
If it were in ancient times, or at a high level, let alone the late fourth level, it would have been promoted to at least the fifth level of **** transformation.
Qingzhou is located in the Tianheng Continent, a backward region with poor spiritual veins of heaven and earth. The middle stage of Nascent Soul is basically the end of the world.
The fate of heaven and earth belongs to the mainstream of human nature, and after thousands of years of convergence, it is possible to give birth to the miracle of a Nascent Soul monk.
Hundreds of years ago, after the miraculous birth of the ten sects of Xuanmen, the rest of the Yuanying True Monarchs cut off the hope of the great monks, let alone the demons who were not the protagonists of fate.
Fortunately, although the human race's civilization of cultivating immortals is powerful, it suffers from frequent internal strife. The demon clan's power in the Black Mist Mountains has always existed in Daqing.
The human-faced dragon is not afraid of the top powerhouses of Daqing Monk, including Nascent Soul Monk.
In the base camp of the Black Mist Mountains, even if the Yuanying Great Monk comes in person, it is still confident to fight and expel it.
The only thing he is afraid of is that the leaders and top experts of the Immortal Cultivation Sect will join forces to encircle and suppress him.
Therefore, at certain times, the human-faced dragon will quietly enter the human world and provoke internal strife among them.
The Xiuxian Kingdoms close to the Black Mist Mountains, such as the former Jing Kingdom and Liang Kingdom, were not very strong. In addition to the constraints of the geographical environment, they also had part of their contribution.
…
“What are you doing here today?”
The green-faced man's voice was hollow and low, as if coming from his abdomen.
“Master Qingmian, my wife has been feeling a little unwell recently. It may be…”
Sky Moon Wolf King Gongshenhui reports.
“Could it be that Xuemei is about to give birth—”
The expression and voice of the human-faced dragon showed a hint of emotional fluctuation for the first time.
唰!
After a while.
At the core of the Black Mist Mountains, in a spacious and luxurious mysterious cave.
“Husband, you are back.”
A plump and round woman in a purple skirt endured the pain, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and she barely smiled. She put her hand on her huge pregnant belly and was half lying on the bed, unable to get up.
The woman in the purple skirt is about thirty years old, with a round and fat face, which vaguely shows the beautiful appearance and temperament of Kongyou back then.
“Xuemei, don’t hurt your fetus.”
The human-faced dragon came to the bed, showing a rare warmth, and helped the woman in the purple skirt steady.
Descendants of true spirits, it is very difficult to reproduce by bloodline.
The human-faced dragon has been tried countless times, with some female species with high bloodline levels, but the results basically failed.
Perhaps, the offspring born is a deformed monster and not a descendant of the true spirit of the human-faced dragon.
I didn’t expect that this maid who brought the pill back from the human world would be lucky enough to be pregnant with its seed.
This situation is unusual.
Fu Xuemei was pregnant for three years, which was a long time.
The human-faced dragon gradually sensed that the new life in Fu Xuemei's belly conveyed a sense of closeness connected with his own blood.
Suddenly, it had a deeper bond with this black mist mountain range that had grown up for thousands of years.
Once upon a time, he had an idea and decided to leave Daqing and go to other states or even overseas to find opportunities for breakthrough.
But once it leaves, the hundreds of millions of people in the Black Mist Mountains will suffer a tragic fate, and will soon become the back garden of the Immortal Cultivation Sect.
Furthermore, all the treasure lands in other big state borders are owned by their owners.
Crossing many state borders, his whereabouts are exposed, and he may be surrounded and suppressed by many Nascent Soul monks to obtain precious materials. In this Tianheng Continent, the mainstream civilization that cultivates immortals is the human race after all.
Now, it not only has to protect its own people, but also create a favorable and good living environment for future heirs.
“Husband, I feel like it’s about to come out...”
Fu Xuemei caressed her pregnant belly. The expression on her face could not tell whether it was joy or bitterness. Her mood was complicated and mixed.
In the past, as a close disciple of Master Huanglong and a proud daughter of heaven, she never thought that one day she would be pregnant with a foreign child.
However, this is an agreement promised in the early years.
Back then, she was deceived by the Yellow Wolf Master into the Beast King Valley. It was Master Qingmian who rescued her and promised to save the Earth Dragon Beast.
She was willing to be a maid and serve her master, but she didn't expect to be so "lucky" to be pregnant with the blood of a descendant of the true spirit.
Since then, her mother's status has been rising due to her son's wealth, and she has been cared for and valued by the human-faced dragon.
The human-faced dragon took out the fourth-level life-extending heavenly material and earthly treasure and gave it to her. She even used the spiritual creatures of heaven and earth combined with the power of her true spirit bloodline to significantly improve the quality of her true elixir.
Enjoying such a blessing, the noble status of the Black Mist King woman is far beyond the treatment imagined in the human world.
But deep down in Fu Xuemei's heart, there was no real joy.
The best time deep in her memory seems to have been fixed in the days before pill formation, in Huanglong Fairy City.
Starting from a certain node, the trajectory of fate deflected, making everything irreversible.
…
Border of the Wei Dao League, Yuanliu Immortal City.
A brilliant victory that boosted the morale of the monk army of the Protective Alliance.
In this battle, in addition to beheading and defeating two demonic souls, they also pursued the victory and killed a large number of demonic monks, and gained countless trophies.
"Owner."
Diyan Lord brought over the trophies of the two Nascent Soul Lords, as well as the gains from hunting down the demonic alchemy monks.
Luchang Ontario took inventory.
The Dharma Body of True Monarch Black Feather was destroyed, Nascent Soul was captured alive, and a complete trophy was obtained, which was the richest.
Including a set of magic weapons such as a simple long bow, fourth-level treasure materials, medicinal herbs, elixirs, etc.
There is actually a pair of fourth-order wings among them, which are of good spiritual quality and slightly modified. They seem to be embryonic materials for magic weapons and have not yet been refined.
“It turns out that True Monarch Black Feather is planning to re-create a pair of flying wing magic weapons as lower-level substitutes for [Black Sky Wings], and he has spent a lot of money and energy on this.”
Lu Changan was a little surprised by this.
This pair of fourth-level wings can be used to strengthen the supernatural peacock puppet.
Elder Wanhe Yuanying escaped, leaving only part of the loot behind, including the magic weapon [Flying Feather Needle] and the damaged black robe.
In addition, there are hundreds of spiritual cranes left behind by the Ten Thousand Cranes Formation.
The high-quality materials from these trophies, plus the two Nascent Soul monsters killed by Feng Yuan Kingdom and the Two Sects more than ten years ago, Lu Changan has enough puppet materials on hand to create a quasi-fourth-level puppet.
Completing the puppet army formation in the past also consumed a large amount of material reserves.
Of course, Lu Changan will not create a quasi-fourth-level puppet.
If you can gather three or more fourth-level puppets, you can build a fourth-level puppet army in the future.
The puppets in the puppet military formation should preferably be of similar types and be able to match each other.
The alien peacock puppet and the blue-armored puppet are too different to form a puppet array.
If there is an opportunity to build a fourth-level puppet in the future, it would be best to use the true fourth-level blue-armored puppet as the core. In this way, Wei Puppet Master can help him share his spiritual consciousness and control the puppet formation.
“These spiritual beasts’ provisions and earth-type spiritual objects will all be given to you.”
Lu Changan waved his hand and divided part of the loot to Diyan Lord.
In the previous battle, Diyanjun was seriously injured and had to pay the most. In order to capture True Lord Black Feather, it used its body to resist the attack of True Lord Demon Dao's heavy magic weapon.
Xia Xianzi was attacked by Elder Wanhe’s Flying Feather Needle. She took the risk and was almost seriously injured.
On the contrary, it was Lu Changan, the master, who took action at the last critical moment and made the final decision, but his effectiveness was average.
“Thank you master for the gift.”
Diyan Lord smiled happily and accepted the spoils of war. Then he took the healing elixir and used his demonic power to repair the injury on his own.
In the ranks of fourth-level demon kings, Lord Diyan's qualifications are considered average. With sufficient resources, after practicing for nearly ninety years, he is still far away from the peak of the early stage of the fourth level.
…
“Lu Zhenjun, Wen Yue, this victory over Yuanliu City has boosted the morale of the Defending Alliance and has a profound impact on the Demonic War. There must be military exploits and generous rewards from the general helmsman.”
Jin Yue Zhenjun lost his previous airs and smiled like an elder. He took the initiative to talk to Lu Changan and Xia Wenyue to repair the cracks in the past relationship.
During the conversation, Jin Yue Zhenjun euphemistically expressed that he wanted to participate in the distribution of the spoils.
This woman arrived last and played a certain diversionary role. Lu Changan was not stingy and gave her a top-grade magic weapon and dozens of cranes.
Those spirit cranes have the spirit control restriction of Elder Wanhe. Although they cannot be used for battlefield fighting, they can be taken back and bred to cultivate a group of spirit birds for the sect.
Xia Xianzi's spoils of war were richer than those of her master Jin Yue.
Having killed the Nascent Soul monster many times, these trophies were not particularly attractive to Lu Changan.
What really caught his attention was the Nascent Soul Spirit Body.
The Nascent Soul of True Monarch Black Feather was captured alive and sealed, so Lu Changan couldn't bear to devour it with the [Nine-Seal Monument] in public.
【Nine-Seal Monument】Every time a Nascent Soul is swallowed, it can bring a massive amount of memory knowledge to Lu Changan and turn it into his own heritage.
Lu Changan asked Xia Xianzi to accompany Jin Yue Zhenjun in Yuanliu City.
He did not stay in the city, left Yuanliu Immortal City, and quickly returned to the important frontline town he was guarding.
Fang Zhenjun led the demonic army and was still attacking key towns on the front line.
Although the fourth-level Beast King is gone and the siege effort is greatly reduced, there are still variables as time goes on.
…
Fly hundreds of miles out of Yuanliu City.
Lu Changan lowered his flight altitude and paused for a moment above a mass of graves.
He seemed to be talking to himself:
“Why didn’t you take action in tonight’s battle? Otherwise, it would have been possible for Elder Wanhe to evacuate smoothly.”
In the silent graveyard, ghost fires floated, and a cold wind blew from time to time.
Suddenly, under an unnamed tombstone, a strange and dark ghost figure was slightly twisted. Its outline was human-shaped and wearing a cloak.
"I am the elder of the Wujian Sect in charge of one battlefield, and I have the right to decide whether to take action. In this action, I provided intelligence support and did not promise to participate. What's more, it is just a shadow clone and cannot compete head-on with the Nascent Soul cultivator. "
The cloaked shadow's voice was low, and his tone had a detached attitude, as if he was just a third-party observer.
Lu Changan thought to himself that the existence of Wujian Sect was similar to what he expected.
Wujian Sect also has territory in the rear. There are only a limited number of resident Nascent Soul monks scattered in each major battlefield, basically only one. Some unimportant battlefields may not have Wujianmen Nascent Soul in charge.
If you want to invite the assassins of Wujian Sect to take action, the other major sects of the Demonic Path will have to pay the price of favors. For example, last time the Beast King Valley temporarily invited the deputy sect leader from the middle Nascent Soul stage.
Each Wujianmen elder who is stationed on the battlefield is similar to a feudal official and has considerable autonomy.
Therefore, even if True Lord Jueying did not show up to help in the previous battle, there was nothing the Beast King Valley could do.
The reason may be that you don’t want to expose your traces, or you didn’t arrive at the scene in time.
After all, Wujianmen has no obligation to work for the Beast King Valley.
“Zhenjun Jueying, don’t forget that you owe Lu a life. When do you plan to fulfill your promise?”
Lu Changan put his hands behind his back and said through the message.
The shadowy clone under the tombstone, the twisted shadow froze slightly.
The communication of spiritual consciousness between true kings is like lightning, and it changes rapidly.
Over the mass graves.
Lu Changan only paused for a few breaths and quickly left through the air. No one knows what exactly he communicated with the ghost fire.
