Chapter 447 Tracking Aoki, Yin and Yang
Deep in the desert, there are few people around, and flying sand and dust storms sweep across.
The body of a man in a green robe floated from the ice coffin, shrouded in a storm of yellow sand.
Lu Changan closed his eyes and prayed, surrounded by ancient coins, lottery tickets, turtle slices, jade and other divination objects. The flowing black hair is mixed with some silver hair, giving off an aura of vicissitudes of time.
The invisible web of destiny intertwined and spread on the body of the man in green robe, affecting countless causes and effects, blending into the mysterious river.
At the same time, a huge force of destiny, carrying the aura of national destiny, came across the sky from the direction of the Snow Mountain Holy Land of Feng Yuan Kingdom.
The power of divination condensed in Lu Changan's body surged, leveraging more fates and breaking through the heavy fog of heaven and earth.
Until a certain moment, he suddenly opened his eyes.
The mysterious light in the dark eyes was flowing, and in the mist of the long river, he could see a few blurry scenes that passed by.
"This gentleman has rebuilt his Dharma body and has just restored his Nascent Soul cultivation. He is currently located in the hinterland of Daqing Middle Territory."
After Lu Changan calculated, he thought for a moment.
The good news is that Lord Aoki did not run away and fled to a more remote and private place.
There is a causal bond between the original body and the Nascent Soul.
Lu Changan used the corpse as a medium to calculate and track through the fourth-level divination technique, and received distant help from the heavenly master.
After all, there are also divination masters from the ten Xuanmen sects in the Central Region.
Lu Changan was worried that True Lord Aoki would be involved, so he joined forces with the Heavenly Master to ensure that no flaws were exposed, and the divination master in the Central Region made reverse calculations.
Finally, the general situation and location of Lord Aoki were determined.
The bad news is that although True Lord Aoki did not retreat, he chose to stay in the sect and was within the sphere of influence of the ten Xuanmen sects.
"This boy is stuck in the sect. With the help of the protection of the ten sects of Xuanmen, he has spent hundreds of years recovering his strength, but it is difficult to deal with him."
Lu Changan frowned slightly, things were not as he expected.
Lord Aoki did not escape, nor did he choose to collude with the devil and launch a counterattack.
Even the information about Changqing's battle has not spread in the world of immortality.
After thinking carefully, Lu Changan had to admit that it was safer for Lord Aoki to do this.
Lord Aoki has a grudge against the devil and naturally lacks trust.
Instead of trusting the devil, it is better to trust the righteous cultivating sect in the Central Region.
…
A few days later.
Lu Changan crossed the boundless desert and passed over the Liang Kingdom.
All the way to the west, passing through Jingguo.
After the victory in the Demonic War, the Jing State carved up part of the territory of the neighboring Chen State, and the Xuanyin Sect expanded its influence and dominated one side.
There is only one Yuanying force in Xuanyin Sect in the Jing Kingdom, and there are fewer constraints on its development. It can absorb the gains from the war and its rise is rapid.
"The Xuanyin Sect was born out of the 'Xuanyin Sect', one of the seven giants of the Demonic Way in the earlier period. In terms of heritage, it surpassed the Yuanying forces in the Wei Dao League. If the leader of Chu had not been broad-minded and took the initiative to accept and support Liang Shaotian and the Xuanyin Sect, The internal and external pressures in the early and middle stages of the Demonic War were even greater, and they may not be able to survive to this day.”
Relevant memories emerged in Lu Changan's mind.
Xuanyin Sect can be regarded as replacing the status of the original Chen Kingdom Tianluo Sect.
Passing over the Xuanyin Sect, Lu Changan used the power of the fourth-level divination fortune-telling technique to look at it.
The results showed that the Xuanyin teaching has strong luck and a clear upward trend.
Lu Changan was slightly surprised and thought about it: Liang Jiao majored in the Nascent Soul stage, and his potential has been exhausted. Due to many battles in his life, his Tao foundation was damaged. His personal disciple Li Hai died in the demonic war.
While he was pondering, Lu Changan released his spiritual consciousness, which was close to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator. Without alerting anyone, he quietly swept across the Xuanyin Sect's main rudder.
Liang Shaotian, a white-haired man, was sitting in the main hall of the sect, giving instructions to a female alchemy cultivator.
This woman has a quiet temperament, a pure and picturesque face, a pair of black and white eyes, and her pupils have a sense of purity like dark gems.
The female cultivator's name is "Zhu Xueqing". She is Liang Shaotian's disciple and the disciple accepted by his eldest disciple Li Hai. She possesses a Xuanyin body that is rare in the world of immortality.
Lu Changan had met this woman once when he returned to Daqing at the beginning of that year. We haven’t seen each other in these years. Zhu Xueqing has been promoted to the Dan Dan stage, and her appearance has not changed much.
Lu Changan was deep in thought as his consciousness swept across the huge Xuanyin Sect's chief rudder, but Xiang Jinglong was not found.
Hearing that before his life span came to an end, he took the initiative to die on the demonic battlefield.
In a certain cave, Lu Changan found a sturdy young man who was practicing cultivation. His complexion was yellowish, and he looked very similar to Xiang Jinglong.
Lu Changan knew without any extrapolation that this man was Xiang Jinglong's son, named Xiang Shaolong.
In the cave, Xiang Shaolong sat cross-legged, holding a spirit shell with a blue luster in his hand, which did not look like a product of the Daqing Land.
With the help of the third-level spiritual treasures, Xiang Shaolong's body is nourished, his recovery speed is faster, and he has more energy for practicing every day.
"This boy's ambitions are quite big! With the tenth birthday gift given by Lord Ben Zhen, he is able to cultivate both physical and mental skills, and his progress is not slow at all."
Lu Changan was speechless and did not make any intervention.
The karmic grudge between him and Xiang Jinglong has long been settled and disappeared in the tide of time.
…
Leaving the borders of Jing Kingdom, there is a vast and desolate land.
Most of them are areas lacking spiritual energy, including some unparalleled spiritual areas and dangerous areas, and there is no soil for cultivating immortal civilization.
The Guardian Alliance and the Seven Nations Alliance are separated by this desolate land.
Due to the lack of replenishment of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the escape speed is limited. Even if the Danjie monks travel through this desolate land, it often takes a month or two.
Outside the border of Jing State, Lu Changan stayed for a while.
at some point.
A strange black smoke passed through the mountains silently and landed not far from Lu Changan.
In the shadows, a man in a black robe and cloak appeared. The body is as sharp as a knife, and the cold facial features are blurred and devoid of any emotion.
"Lu Zhenjun."
The person who came was none other than True Lord Jueying. He bowed his hands to Lu Changan who was standing with his hands behind his back.
Lu Changan nodded and glanced lightly. Compared with the last time we cooperated to deal with Qingmu, Jueying Zhenjun's magical power has improved significantly.
Under Lu Changan's gaze, Jueying Zhenjun suddenly felt uneasy, and an inexplicable sense of crisis flashed past.
This Wujianmen elder felt awe-inspiring. As an assassin, he had an intuition that the Lu Changan he saw this time was even more dangerous than before.
The two were several feet apart, their lips moved, and they communicated for a moment through sound transmission.
From True Lord Jueying, Lu Changan learned about the reactions of the top leaders of the Wujian Sect and the Six Demonic Sects after the defeat in the Beast King Valley.
As expected, Lu Changan was listed by the Six Demonic Sects as one of the most threatening human monks in the Eastern Region.
The threat level is second only to the King of Black Mist with True Spirit bloodline.
According to True Monarch Jueying, the leaders of the six sects of the Demon Sect secretly sent envoys to the border of the Black Mist Mountains to reach some kind of peace agreement with the Black Mist Mountains.
More than ten years ago, True Lord Jueying obtained the head of True Lord Aoki and received generous awards from the Wujian Sect and the Demonic Alliance.
The leader of the Wujian Sect did not pursue the matter of True Lord Jueying colluding with Lu Changan and killing True Lord Aoki, and even expressed his appreciation.
The killers of Wu Jianmen are unscrupulous and pay more attention to results.
From the perspective of Wujianmen, Jueying Zhenjun gained military exploits in the battle between two tigers, which was very clever. Both Lu Changqing and True Lord Aoki are serious problems for the Demon Sect.
Nowadays, True Lord Jueying's prestige in Wujian Sect has greatly increased, second only to the sect master and deputy sect master, and he has been favored and cultivated by the sect master.
"It turns out that the death of True Lord Jin Yue was influenced by fellow Taoist Jueying behind the scenes."
During the exchange, Lu Changan obtained unknown details behind the scenes.
When the Beast King Valley was defeated, faced with the huge threat of the human-faced dragon, the leader of the Wujian Sect rushed over in person, and no war broke out.
In order to relieve the pressure of the defeat in the Beast King Valley, the leader of the Wujian Sect decided to take action at the request and reward of the Beast King Elder.
Sneaking into the Wei Dao Alliance's forces and pretending to assassinate a Nascent Soul cultivator is risky.
Jueying Zhenjun was in charge of the Wei Dao League area and provided detailed information to the leader of the Wujian Sect at that time. Among the intelligence targets provided by True Lord Jueying, True Lord Jin Yue was the most seriously injured and had the lowest execution risk.
"This is the Central Territory information that Mr. Lu Zhenjun needs. However, Mr. Aoki has basically lost his trace in the Central Territory in recent years, and there is no specific news."
True Lord Jueying presented a jade slip.
"Bishan Sect...the great sect of cultivating immortals in the Central Region..."
Lu Changan took the jade slip of information and scanned it with his spiritual consciousness.
The intelligence includes information related to Lord Aoki, among which "Bishan Sect" is the focus.
After being promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, Aoki Shinjun was invited to join the Bishan Sect and practiced in the sect for more than two hundred years.
Including Qingmu, there are three Nascent Soul cultivators in the Bishan Sect.
In the past hundreds of years, due to the rise of True Lord Aoki, the Bishan Sect has become the most powerful immortal cultivation force in the Central Region, second only to the ten Xuanmen Sects.
Before leaving, True Lord Jueying hesitated and said:
"Has Mr. Lu Zhenjun come into contact with the 'Faceless' of our sect?"
"Why do you say this? Isn't your sect's 'faceless' treasure always in the hands of the master of the Wujian sect?"
There was a strange color in Lu Changan's eyes, and he said calmly.
"The 'No Face' of our sect is composed of two sides, Yin and Yang. The two are combined into one to be the complete 'Supreme Faceless'. During the drastic changes in the sect over thousands of years, one side was taken away by traitors and it is said that he fled abroad. Zhou, has lost any news since then. Only a few high-ranking officials in the Six Holy Sects know..."
Jueying Zhenjun revealed the unknown secret.
"Oh! There are other reasons."
Lu Changan nodded and did not continue discussing this topic.
Jueying Zhenjun's words may be meant to test, and he himself is not very sure.
Seeing Lu Changan's noncommittal reaction and lackluster reaction, True Lord Jueying showed a hint of disappointment.
Jueying Zhenjun did not dare to ask any more questions, turned into a shadow smoke, and fled away.
Lu Changan watched the disappearing shadow and secretly calculated the cause and effect.
"Zhenjun Jueying is in charge of the intelligence infiltration of the Wei Dao League. He must pay attention to my information. Some vests may be exposed. Moreover, he has had many contacts with me and the leader of the Wujian Sect at the same time. It is not surprising to find clues from this..."
Lu Changan doesn't want to explore this matter for the time being.
The Hundred Fantasy Mask he owns does feel like it has been damaged and has incomplete functions. At the Nascent Soul level, facing monks of the same realm, the effect of Baihuan Mask is much worse.
Even if he now covets the other Wumian of the Wujie Sect Master, it is still very unrealistic.
The leader of the Wujian Sect, the divine dragon, sees its head but not its tail, its movements are unpredictable, and its movement skills are extremely fast. Even though his fighting skills are better than others, it is several times more difficult to kill people and seize treasures.
…
Set off again, leaving the territory of the Wei Dao Alliance.
Lu Changan banned the fluctuations of the Nascent Soul and all his magic power, and relied on a quasi-fourth-level bird puppet to fly.
This is done to prevent the process of approaching the middle realm from being sensed by True Lord Aoki.
During realm breakthroughs and fierce battles, this feeling will be greatly strengthened. For practitioners of the Evergreen Gong, the closer their cultivation levels are, the stronger the pull of blessing will be.
Back then, True Lord Aoki banned the Nascent Soul's magic power and relied on the fourth-level Pengniao to travel secretly to the Wei Dao Alliance.
The frame material of the quasi-fourth-level big bird puppet that Lu Changan rides comes from the fourth-level roc bird of Lord Aoki.
The quasi-fourth-level big bird puppet carried Lu Changan and approached the border area of the Seven Nations Alliance.
"The Demonic War in the Seven Nations Alliance is not over yet and is currently in a stalemate."
Lu Changan looked at the front line of the Seven Nations Alliance and slowed down, taking care to avoid the roving monks from the Blood Spirit Gate and the Phantom Palace.
When heading to the Central Territory, it is difficult to avoid the Eastern Territory Demonic Battlefield.
The longer detour is either deep in the Black Mist Mountains, or in the realm controlled by the Underworld Sect and the White Bone Palace.
It is very difficult to cross the demonic battlefield without alerting any monks from the two camps.
In his early years, Lord Aoki went to the Guardian League from the Central Region, but was discovered by the Demonic Camp, and had no choice but to carry out a killing spree, exposing his traces.
Lu Changan now blocked the Nascent Soul's mana, and the power of his spiritual consciousness was restricted to a certain extent.
Fortunately, the senses are still stronger than most Yuanying monks, and combined with divination, most troubles can be avoided.
Entering the buffer area between the two camps, the risk of Lu Changan's puppet bird being discovered gradually increased.
When it was really unavoidable, Lu Changan used puppets and spiritual pets to kill the demonic monks who were in the way.
"It's better to start a war. Then it will be easier for me to fish in troubled waters and cross the borders of the Seven Kingdoms Alliance."
Lu Changan frowned slightly and his speed slowed down greatly.
During the confrontation between the two parties, the security was even tighter.
In buffering the border area, Lu Changan had to avoid the sight of both sides and hide from the eyes and ears of numerous warning restrictions, sensing arrays, and various flying insects and birds.
Lu Changan can kill the demonic monks who get in the way, but what if he encounters the monks from the Seven Kingdoms Alliance?
The Seven Nations Alliance and the Guardian Alliance are both alliances of forces in the Eastern Region that resist the invasion of demons.
The two parties secretly reached an agreement to assist each other, which can be regarded as an alliance.
Um?
Lu Changan sensed a familiar breath of Nascent Soul's mana, which was on the side of the Dao Defender Alliance about a few hundred miles away.
"Princess Purple Fire Lord, Wang Feng."
Because he was familiar with the aura of Lihuo Palace's skills, Lu Changan quickly confirmed the identity of the other party even outside the range of his spiritual consciousness.
His mind suddenly moved, and he suddenly had a plan.
With his Nascent Soul and mana limited, it would be too difficult for him to cross the Seven Kingdoms Alliance area without anyone noticing.
If the local forces of the Seven Nations Alliance cooperate and give the green light all the way, the difficulty will be greatly reduced.
…
Hundreds of miles away, in a palace floating in mid-air, orders were given to the army of monks from the Seven Kingdoms Alliance.
Wang Feng, the Supreme Elder of Lihuo Palace, was sitting at the top of the palace hall.
In the deserted place, Wang Feng looked tired and stretched out his hand to rub the center of his brow.
The protracted demonic war made him physically and mentally exhausted.
The Xinli Fire Palace was rebuilt in a special location and its sphere of influence was quite special.
One is close to the border of the Seven Nations Alliance.
The second is that the Guardian Alliance supports the Seven Nations Alliance, and the most convenient route is close to the Lihuo Palace's sphere of influence.
Therefore, the demonic forces focused on blockade and targeted this battlefield.
Lihuo Palace alone cannot stop him, so he often requests reinforcements from the Seven Nations Alliance and makes friends with other Nascent Soul monks.
Lihuo Palace was rebuilt and restored to its former glory. But today's suffering, the calamity of the devil, is so torturous.
If you are not careful, the efforts of the past two hundred years will be in vain, and everything will return to its original shape.
Even if he had to start all over again, Wang Feng had no better choice.
If Lihuo Palace does not bear certain costs and obligations, how can Lihuo Palace successfully rebuild the mountain gate and take root in the Seven Nations Alliance? Even when he gave birth to a baby, the leaders of the Seven Nations Alliance tacitly supported him.
"Wang Zhenjun!"
A sound broke through the air outside the palace building, and a middle-aged man who had formed a core flew into the palace.
"What's the report?"
Wang Feng was wearing a purple and green robe, with a fair face and two strands of beautiful beard. Show calmness, elegance and wisdom in front of outsiders.
"There is a mysterious monk from outside. He appeared at our border without warning, claiming to be reinforcements sent by the Wei Dao Alliance."
Jiedan middle-aged truthful report.
"Mysterious monk, reinforcements from the Guardian Alliance?"
Wang Feng felt that something was strange.
In recent years, the Weideo Alliance has indeed had some spare capacity to support. However, most of them were harassing the demons from the rear during the war, which played a certain containment role. Or if supplies are sent, they need to be supported by the Seven Nations Alliance.
During the confrontation stage, it was the first time that reinforcements suddenly appeared on one's own side.
"Did you do anything to him?"
"Master Xuejian was about to take down that man, but he was shocked by his spiritual consciousness and secret skills. He didn't calm down for a long time."
The middle-aged Jie Dan said with an embarrassed expression.
Xuejian Zhenren was in the middle stage of pill formation, and his fighting skills were close to those in the late stage of pill formation. However, he was defeated and humiliated, making the situation a little out of control.
Only then did he urgently come over to ask Wang Zhenjun for instructions.
"Invite him over quickly."
Wang Feng thought of something and immediately sent the order.
Not long after.
Under the "escort" of several Zhendan monks, a young man in blue with a majestic appearance and an arrogant expression entered the palace hall.
"You all stand back."
Wang Feng's eyes narrowed, and he immediately waved away the few True Alchemy cultivators surrounding the young man in blue.
One of them, a snow-robed master with an ancient sword on his back, had a slightly pale handsome face, showing anger and dissatisfaction.
He is the contemporary genius of Gujian Mountain and a disciple of Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator, assisting Lihuo Palace in guarding the front line.
The Dan-forming monks of the Weidao League seemed to have a connection with Wang Zhenjun. He had just acted according to the rules and suffered a secret loss, but Wang Zhenjun did not give any explanation or comfort.
…
"Senior Brother Nie, it is indeed you!"
In the palace hall, Wang Feng laughed heartily and was greatly surprised by the arrival of the young man in blue.
Over the years, he had some vague speculations about the identity of the so-called senior brother "Nie Yuan".
After all, there were many contacts, and there were too many coincidences in time and events. Wang Feng could not help but see the clues after thinking deeply.
However, guesses are just guesses after all, and Wang Feng is not completely sure yet.
"Senior Brother Nie" still looked like this when we met him, and he couldn't take the initiative to reveal it.
Otherwise, Wang Feng couldn't guarantee whether the other party would still miss the fragile brotherhood.
"Senior Brother Nie came here personally to assist. On behalf of the Seven Nations Alliance, Junior Brother expressed his warm welcome and gratitude..."
Wang Feng warmly entertained Lu Changan, took out the fourth-level spiritual tea from his collection, brewed it himself, and poured water for Lu Changan.
"Haha, Junior Brother Wang misunderstood!"
Lu Changan drank the fourth-level spiritual tea, and felt the beautiful aura of heaven and earth cleansing his internal organs, and a sense of comfort reached his soul.
"Senior brother is taking the road to pass through the Seven Nations Alliance this time. I asked Junior Brother Wang for an identity and a pass token."
Lu Changan remained calm and quickly explained his purpose.
The warm smile on Wang Feng's face couldn't help but embarrass him. His feelings were his own, and he was happy for nothing.
If Lu Changqing is rumored to be as powerful as the demonic leader and is willing to support the Seven Nations Alliance, it will greatly ease his pressure and reduce the large number of casualties in Lihuo Palace.
Wang Feng did not refuse Lu Changan's request.
After a moment, he took out a warrant, which contained the true king's divine consciousness brand and mana breath.
"Senior Brother Nie holds this warrant, and as a member of Lihuo Palace, he can successfully pass through the territory currently controlled by the Seven Nations Alliance."
"Junior Brother Wang, please help me."
Lu Changan took the order from Zhenjun and expressed his gratitude.
He stood up to say goodbye.
Wang Feng's eyes twitched slightly and he smiled bitterly:
"Senior Brother Nie's magic power is far superior to that of Junior Brother. Since I'm passing by, can you help Junior Brother share the pressure?"
"Nie has important matters to deal with, so it's not appropriate to take action."
Lu Changan shook his head and refused.
It's not that he doesn't want to help.
But once there is a fierce battle, the fluctuations of the Evergreen Dao Fruit will be easily sensed by True Lord Aoki in the Central Region.
Of course, Wang Feng helped him a little this time, and with the brotherhood of plastic masters, he couldn't completely turn a blind eye.
Lu Changan muttered: "What trouble does Junior Brother Wang have? When Senior Brother comes back next time, I will help you solve it on the way."
"The Blood Bat King, one of the six kings of the Blood Spirit Sect, can Senior Brother Nie help us deal with it?"
Wang Feng said in a tentative and deliberative tone:
"This beast's blood magic power is difficult to deal with, and it has been targeting Wang. The spirit-changing blood bat has made Lihuo Palace miserable, with constant casualties, and no chance for self-cultivation and respite. If this continues, Lihuo Palace may have a crisis that will last forever..."
"Blood Bat King?"
Lu Changan thought for a moment and suddenly had an impression.
Back then, he ran away from Daqing and pretended to be Xiang Zhenren. He was targeted by the Blood Bat King and put a mark on the quasi-fourth-level puppet.
"I don't ask Senior Brother Nie to kill this beast. I can help Junior Brother seriously injure it once and let Lihuo Palace relax for a few years."
Wang Feng was afraid that Lu Changan would be embarrassed, so he quickly added.
The magical power of the blood path has strong self-protection ability. In the early years, the giant of the Seven Kingdoms Alliance in the middle stage of Nascent Soul cut the Blood Bat King in two without threatening his life.
Lu Changan had no time to think and agreed:
"The Blood Bat King is of average strength. I'll just wait for my senior brother to come back and help you kill him."
"Thank you, senior brother!"
Wang Feng was overjoyed and excited, and bowed his hands.
But when he calmed down, he found that Senior Brother Nie's promise was a bit perfunctory and said too lightly.
Wang Feng fought against the Blood Bat King many times and was always suppressed and beaten.
He knew very well that the Blood Bat King was a veteran powerhouse in the early stage of Nascent Soul and could not be easily solved.
Could it be that Brother Nie knows how to let go of pigeons?
As Wang Feng's thoughts turned, he found that the hall was empty.
"Junior Brother Wang, see you next time."
Lu Changan took his warrant and flew to the territory of the Seven Nations Alliance.
