Lu Changan remembered that before he left the Liang Kingdom, the realm of immortal cultivation in the Chen Kingdom was destroyed, and the Yuanying ancestor of the Tianluo Sect had his body destroyed, and the Yuanying spirit body left the body to escape.
However, that was decades ago.
"Reporting to His Excellency Hei Xiao, the Tianluo Sect suffered many major defeats in the war against the Demonic Way, which made the leader of the Wei Dao Alliance 'Chu Tianfeng' dissatisfied. A few years ago, the Tianluo Patriarch was seriously injured again, and the Nascent Soul came out of the body. Now in
Recuperate and regain strength. Leader Chu simply handed over the command of the Jing Kingdom's Immortal Cultivation World to Xuanyin Headmaster Liang Shaotian..."
Zhou Qingxuan responded and explained the details.
He was severely injured again, and the Nascent Soul came out of his body?
Lu Changan felt weird. It seemed that Patriarch Tianluo was about as powerful as Master Lihuo.
They are all at the same level as Nascent Soul, but their strength is mediocre and not outstanding.
The Nascent Soul Lord he was fighting against came from the top demonic sect in Daqing, so there was naturally some gap in his strength and background.
Lu Changan was instinctively moved towards the Nascent Soul spirit body that had left his body.
But if you want to light up the fifth life, according to the vague information fed back by the Nine Seal Monument, you need to swallow ten Nascent Souls, or one Nascent Soul that transforms into a god.
Lu Changan gave up the idea directly. The risk was extremely high and there was no profit.
This is not a plan that can be implemented at this stage.
"A major defeat for Tianluo Sect?"
Lu Changan is more interested in the affairs of Jing Kingdom's immortal world.
This neutral country of cultivating immortals not only gave birth to the Son of Destiny, but also had heroes like Liang Shaotian in charge, and also included ruthless bandits like Xiang Jinglong.
Lu Changan had been cultivating in Jing Kingdom for many years and unearthed Xia Wenyue, who was an innate Taoist body.
According to Zhou Qingxuan’s statement, the Tianluo Sect had three major failures:
First, the Chen State was defeated too quickly and was captured by the Beast King Valley, leaving the Feng State trapped between two sides.
Second, Tianluo Sect was greatly penetrated by the Wujian Sect, leaking intelligence many times, affecting the war situation, and annoying the top leaders of the Weidao Alliance.
Third, a few years ago, the demonic way conquered half of the Jing Kingdom. At that time, the Tianluo Sect took command, but the result was a complete defeat. The ancestor of Yuanying was seriously injured, and the Yuanying came out of the body again.
Leader Chu was completely disappointed with the Tianluo Sect and gave command to the Xuanyin Sect.
Lu Changan was speechless after hearing this.
At that time, the Tianluo Sect suppressed internal affairs and was rampant. The Xie family developed the sect into a family style and dominated the Chen Kingdom.
Domineering and invincible internally.
Fighting against demons in foreign countries, but my hips are stretched like this.
Not only that, Tianluo Sect also brought its domineering style to Jing Kingdom to compete for the spiritual territory.
The local forces in the Jing Kingdom were quite resentful towards the Tianluo Sect and would rather support the Xuanyin Demon Sect in the past.
Xuanyin Sect at least has strong execution ability and doesn't have so many tricks.
When Patriarch Tianluo was seriously injured twice, the command was temporarily handed over to the Xuanyin Sect, which stabilized the situation.
After the intervention of Ling Yu Zhenjun, the Son of Luck, the Demonic Dao did not dare to send Yuan Yingqi to the Jing Kingdom.
In the absence of the Nascent Soul Lord on both sides, the Xuanyin Sect integrated all the major immortal cultivating forces in the Jing Kingdom and expelled the demonic army.
Of course, the success of the expulsion must also be attributed to the reputation of Zhenjun Lingyu.
Liang Shaotian himself is actually not good at fighting.
However, his disciple Li Hai was good at commanding and strategizing.
Protector Xiang Jinglong, as a third-level physical practitioner, is good at fighting small-scale battles.
Liang Shaotian's personal reputation was earned through fighting.
In the Demonic Battlefield, Liang Shaotian once killed the Pill-forming Overhaul of the Beast King Valley, and more Demonic practitioners died in his hands, with great military exploits.
He was undefeated against the "Peacock Saint" even though he was suppressed to a certain extent.
Liang Shaotian is known as the number one alchemy-forming monk in the Wei Dao League.
After the Xuanyin Sect established its sect on the border of Jing State, it recruited many disciples, constantly drew new blood, and grew stronger day by day.
After experiencing the war, the Xuanyin Sect's strength increased instead of declining, becoming the number one cultivating force in the Jing Kingdom.
"After two hundred years of ups and downs, the notorious evil cultivator who was wanted by the sect has now become a giant in the world of immortality."
Lu Changan recalled his first meeting with Liang Shaotian.
At that time, the other party was also a nobody.
An injured evil cultivator in the early stage of foundation building was chased and injured. His cultivation level fell for a time, and he was surrounded by dangers.
…
Half an hour later, the questioning of Zhou Qingxuan ended.
Lu Changan had a comprehensive understanding of the Demonic War situation in the Guardian Alliance.
The main battlefield of the Wei Dao Alliance is the Immortal Cultivation Realm of Feng Country, which has three major Nascent Soul Sects.
Chen and Yan in the southwest have both been captured by Beast King Valley.
The Feng Kingdom has a vast territory and rich resources, and the Immortal Cultivation Sect and numerous powerful families are the most difficult bone for the Demonic Dao to crack, as well as the backbone of the Defending Dao Alliance.
As long as the Feng Kingdom is destroyed, it means that the entire Wei Dao Alliance is gone.
The strategy of Beast King Valley has formed a semi-encirclement.
If we capture Jing and Liang again, it will be equivalent to reaching the rear of Feng.
By then, the surrounded Feng Kingdom would not be able to escape.
The appearance of the Son of Fortune in the Jing Kingdom changed the war pattern and stopped the invasion momentum in the Beast King Valley before the Jing Kingdom.
"That True Lord Ling Yu also saved the Liang Kingdom by the way."
Lu Changan secretly said.
Liang State and Jing State are adjacent to each other. Once Jing State is defeated, it will be Liang State's turn immediately.
With the serious injury of the leader of the Beast King Valley, the demonic invasion has slowed down.
The two camps are currently in a stalemate.
Zhou Qingxuan also mentioned a piece of gossip.
It is said that there is a possibility of peace talks and a truce between the Wei Dao Alliance and the Beast King Valley, and there are private contacts between high-level officials of both parties.
This is good news for the vast world of immortal cultivators in the Wei Dao Alliance.
Lu Changan frowned.
For him personally, this is bad news.
In these years, the Peacock Saint has not come to trouble him. The main reason is that she was involved in the Immortal Cultivation War.
On the demonic battlefield, there are relatively few battles between Nascent Souls.
As a top elixir-forming overhaul, the Peacock Saint is an important combat force on the demonic battlefield and has a greater impact on local wars.
This woman could not spare more than a year or two to hunt down Lu Changan in the boundless desert area.
During a war, it is also risky to go behind enemy lines.
Moreover, the demonic war is a rare opportunity for her.
Loot resources and gain military exploits, which can be exchanged for Yuan Ying-level precious resources.
The greater the battle merit, the higher the priority for obtaining the Infant Transformation Pill in the Beast King Valley.
Once the demon war ceases, even if it is suspended for a few years.
The Peacock Saint will have her hands free!
This woman failed once and suffered a lot from Lu Changan.
If you take action again, you will definitely not take it lightly, and you may even ask for help from powerful colleagues.
"Fortunately, the worst situation did not happen."
Lu Changan was fortunate that both Jing and Liang had defended their territory.
The influence of the Beast King Valley cannot radiate to the Feng Yuan Kingdom in the vast desert.
The Peacock Saint mainly relied on her own abilities to deal with Lu Changan, and could not use force to overwhelm others.
…
The puppet clone did not leave Zhou's home immediately.
Regarding the demonic battlefield, Lu Changan still needs to know more information, which will help with future divination.
He wanted to personally question Xing Peng, the incense master of Wujian Sect.
Zhou Qingxuan is Xing Peng's upline, controlling the latter's Gu insect ban, which is stabilized every three years.
A few days later.
A mysterious man wearing a gray robe and a hood quietly entered the Beast Control Zhou's house.
"Xing Peng, I have met His Excellency Hei Xiao."
Xing Peng bowed and saluted, not seeing the reality of the puppet clone. He sensed the fluctuation of spiritual consciousness that far exceeded his own, and his heart was awe-inspiring.
A few years ago, Lu Changan traded the incomplete puppet inheritance of the Thousand Machine Sect at an auction and absorbed its simulation skills.
Ordinary puppets do not have real soul power.
Lu Changan's puppet clone does exist.
With the simulation skills of Qianji Sect, as long as they don't fight with all their strength or come into contact with them for a long time, it is not easy to detect real people in the early and middle stages of pill formation.
"According to my understanding, the top brass of Beast King Valley are currently in dispute over whether to negotiate a truce and there is no unified opinion. Even if the truce is concerned, it will be a delaying measure and there will still be liquidation in the future."
Xing Peng replied.
His cousin is the Jueying helmsman of the Wujian Sect. He was promoted to the late stage of Danjie twenty years ago and has a certain status in the Wujian Sect.
Due to this relationship, Xing Peng has a better sense of news from the upper levels of the Six Demonic Sects than ordinary incense masters and altar masters.
"What do you think is the chance of peace talks and a truce?"
Lu Changan asked questions through the puppet clone.
"The number is about 50 or 50, depending on two factors."
Xing Peng muttered.
"First, look at True Lord Lingyu's attitude and the extent to which he protects the Jing Kingdom and the Wei Dao Alliance."
"Secondly, can the other five sects of the Six Demonic Dao Sects be free to provide some assistance. In the Six Demonic Dao Sects, it is not impossible that there are no monks who can check and balance Zhenjun Lingyu."
Hearing this, Lu Changan was thoughtful.
The Six Demonic Sects expanded eastward and invaded many realms at the same time.
The Alliance is just one of them.
The strength of the Beast King Valley is ranked among the top six sects, and one sect conquers the borders of all countries.
If it weren't for the variable of Son of Luck, Beast King Valley would have been successful.
If several other sects have spare strength during the invasion, they can assist each other, but they must give generous rewards.
"In addition to asking for reinforcements, the Beast King Valley also has a trump card. The sect has a banned fourth-level beast king with a heavenly bloodline. It has survived for thousands of years and its combat power is comparable to the peak of the mid-Nascent Soul."
"It's just that the strongest fourth-level Beast King cannot be completely controlled and is prone to out-of-control backlash. It once almost brought the danger of annihilation to the Beast King Valley. The Beast King Valley will only use this double-edged sword unless it is absolutely necessary."
Xing Peng also revealed the secret of Beast King Valley.
The strongest sealed beast king!
Lu Changan couldn't help but take a breath of air. The background and strength of Beast King Valley were too terrifying.
The Beast King Valley was almost wiped out, and the strength of the strongest Beast King was probably close to that of the Yuanying Great Monk.
If you can perfectly control the sealed beast king, Beast King Valley may be able to compete for the position of the boss of the six demon sects.
"Golden Cloud Valley, what's the current situation?"
Back then, Lu Changan was forced by the situation to run away from Jinyun Valley, which was not honorable.
"The sect master of Jinyun Valley has been generally stable and making progress since he was taken over by Master Tianfeng."
"Five years ago, Master Tian Feng cut off Master Black Crow's arm in the demonic battlefield and almost killed him. His reputation was greatly shocked."
Master Tianfeng is the Taoist name of Zhang Tieshan.
Master Black Crow was a strong player in the middle stage of the Beast King Valley's alchemy formation, and was the direct murderer of Zhao Siyao.
Such news made Lu Changan feel a little emotional.
Xing Peng presented another jade slip, which recorded detailed information about Jinyun Valley.
"Two years ago, Zhao Tan'er was promoted to the middle stage of Dan Jie and became the first female Dan Jie cultivator in Jinyun Valley."
"The Great Elder was seriously injured, his strength was damaged, and he retreated to the second line."
"As the sect leader, Zhang Tieshan is in charge of the power of Jinyun Valley..."
Lu Changan was filled with emotions. No matter the war pattern of the Wei Dao Alliance, or the forces and old friends he was familiar with, they were constantly changing and advancing in the ups and downs of the years.
Two hundred and twenty years ago.
Zhang Tieshan, Lu Changan, Zhao Siyao, Lin Yi, and Li Erqing were all immortal seedlings of the same generation and had known each other since their Qi refining period.
In his early years, the young Marquis Lin Yi made friends with Zhang Tieshan during his Qi refining period. He probably did not expect that the latter would have such achievements and become the helmsman of Jinyun Valley.
Even Lu Changan would not have thought that Zhang Tieshan could reach such a height two hundred years ago.
During the Huanglong Fairy City period, Lu Changan killed the "Evil Faced Flying Eagle" and cooperated with Zhang Tieshan, a foundation-building monk of the Law Enforcement Hall, to gain what each other needed.
At that time, Lu Changan complimented: In a few years, Lu might be able to see the day when Brother Zhang becomes the elder of the Law Enforcement Hall.
At that time, Zhang Tieshan smiled and said nothing.
"It is good news that Lao Zhang has become the helmsman of Jinyun Valley. When Lao Zhang makes Jinyun Valley stronger and bigger, it will be a reliable place for him in the future."
Lu Changan thought so.
Jinyun Valley has medium and large third-order high-grade spiritual veins, and even has the potential to breed quasi-fourth-order spiritual veins.
Lu Changan will become a major cultivator of alchemy in the future and will need third-level high-grade spiritual veins.
What!
Does Jinyun Valley not welcome monks who once ran away?
Lu Changan believes that with the profound friendship of more than two hundred years, Lao Zhang will definitely defy all opinions and welcome his king back again.
"Lao Zhang avenged Siyao on the battlefield, which shows that he is a person who values friendship and justice just like us!"
Lu Changxin feels worried.
He speculated that Zhao Tan'er was successfully promoted to the middle stage of Danjie, possibly because of Lao Zhang's care.
In fact, Lu Changan did not owe Jin Yungu anything when he ran away.
Before leaving, he left key information about the mole to Jinyun Valley.
According to the records in Xing Pengyu Slips:
A few years ago, the Kingdom of Jing was half occupied by demons, and the Immortal Cultivation Circle of Liang Kingdom strongly supported it, leaving it empty internally.
The ghosts of the Wujian Sect lurking in the major forces of the Liang Kingdom took the opportunity to cause trouble in the rear.
During that great chaos, Jinyun Valley was vigilant in cleaning up the cancer in advance and minimized the losses.
This was the biggest feedback Lu Changan gave to Jinyun Valley before he ran away.
…
A few days later, the clone puppet obtained enough information and returned to the desert.
Lu Changan put the bamboo hat assassin puppet into his storage bag.
"Half-step golden elixir...Taiyin jade liquid..."
Before returning to Feng Yuan Kingdom, he looked far away in the direction of Feng Kingdom and Aoyue Palace.
After forming the elixir, the innate Tao body of Xia Wenyue's "Hanso Chalcedony" has begun to breed Taiyin Jade Liquid.
In the early stage of elixir formation, Taiyin Yuye is still in the initial gestation stage and has little help in conceiving a baby.
Only in the middle and late stages of elixir formation can the Taiyin jade liquid be considered mature, which will be helpful to the promotion of Nascent Soul.
According to ancient records, the taiyin jade liquid produced in the later stage of elixir formation is almost equivalent to half of a baby elixir.
Lu Changan is currently in the middle stage of pill formation. Even if the pregnancy is successful, taking it too early will waste the effect of "Taiyin Jade Liquid".
For so many years, Lu Changan has never been to Aoyue Palace. He did not contact Xia Wenyue just to avoid other people's associations.
"Eighty years later, that girl has achieved a half-step golden elixir in the Yuanying sect. She has experienced a lot, so her feelings must have faded..."
In his early years in the Jing Kingdom, Lu Changan just took matters into his own hands, sowing seeds without investing too much.
Even if it fails, there is not much loss.
He had never thought of kidnapping Xia Wenyue out of emotion.
I don’t even believe that if we meet again after more than a hundred years, the other party will remain unchanged.
Lu Changan doesn't want to test human nature.
Therefore, Xia Wenyue had no choice but to willingly promise to let this woman take the oath of the inner demon.
As an innate Taoist body, it is expected to impact Nascent Soul in the future.
Then the constraints of the "Oath of the Inner Demon" will be far greater than those of ordinary monks!
This restriction is coupled with the grace of reinvention from the past.
If there is no external interference, it is more likely that Xia Wenyue will hand over the "Taiyin Jade Liquid".
Lu Changan planned to break through the late stage of the Golden Elixir and prepare to have a baby, and then go find Xia Wenyue to fulfill the promise of Taiyin Yuye.
…
Two months later,
Lu Changan, who returned to Feng Yuan Kingdom, deliberately went to two deserted tribal cities to inquire about the war intelligence of the Wei Dao Alliance.
"Do the natives of Feng Yuan Country really not care about outside intelligence?"
The relevant information Lu Changan received was extremely delayed and inaccurate.
Feng Yuan Kingdom is located in the center of the vast sand sea. It has a harsh environment and is far away. It is like an isolated island with little contact with the outside world.
Tens of thousands of years of experience give them confidence:
Even if the outside world is shaken, it will not affect the "resplendent ancient civilization" in the center of the desert.
Tianzhi Tower, which exists in all the countries of the Wei Dao Alliance, has not established a branch in this barren land.
However, Lu Changan believed that the upper echelons of Feng Yuan Kingdom, such as the Snow Mountain Holy Land, were somewhat concerned about the outside world.
The "Heavenly Master" in the Snow Mountain Holy Land is said to be proficient in divination. As long as he gets some information, he can predict and know the major events in the world without leaving home.
With the Heavenly Master controlling the overall situation, the natives of the deserted city tribe do not need to deliberately care about the external war situation.
Back in the outer sectarian territory, the situation was better.
The Outer Sect Alliance brings together monks from all over the world, some from the two sects, and some from the Weidao Alliance.
Rumor has it that over the long years, monks from outside Daqing crossed over from areas farther north in the desert.
The most mysterious intelligence organization in the Outer Sect Alliance is called "Huangsha".
From the Huangsha Organization, Lu Changan finally obtained the war intelligence of the Weidao Alliance. Although there was a delay, it was relatively reliable.
This intelligence organization is said to come from the boundary between the two religions, and it did not focus on the situation on the Wei Dao League side in the past.
But in recent years, the war between the Guardian Alliance and the Demonic Way has become too fierce.
The battle between the Son of Luck and the Sect Leader of the Beast King Valley shocked the Eastern Region of Daqing and attracted their attention.
The Huangsha Intelligence Organization gave Lu Changan more reliable eyes and ears, so he didn't have to travel frequently to keep an eye on the situation in the Outer Alliance.
…
On this day, Lu Changan returned to Fangcao Oasis and the mountain gate of Xuanyin Pavilion.
That night, Fairy Niyue visited in person. While being gentle, she asked Lu Changan about the war information of the Wealth Alliance.
The information brought back by Lu Changan was more comprehensive and detailed than that of the Huangsha Organization.
"If the war can really cease, Ni'er will want to return to his hometown of Liang."
Fairy Niyue smiled and said happily.
The peace talks and truce in the Demonic War are good for all the monks in the world, but not good for Lu Changan.
"The spiritual veins of Xuanyin Pavilion's former mountain gate were occupied by the forces of the Jinyang Sect camp. You will only see things and get hurt if you go back."
Lu Changan poured a basin of cold water on him.
Fairy Niyue rolled her eyes at him, her eyes dim and a little sad.
"By the way, is there any whereabouts of 'Liu Qingyan' that Ni'er asked you to inquire about?"
That night, before Lu Changan left, Fairy Niyue gave some instructions.
Many years ago, a fellow student from Liang State returned with news:
There was a female cultivator named "Liu Qingyan" in Xuanyin Pavilion who formed a true elixir and later disappeared in the war.
Fairy Niyue once sent people back to inquire, but unfortunately the exchange was costly and no definite information was obtained.
"No."
Lu Changan shook his head.
That Liu Qingyan was himself, so there was no need to inquire.
Hearing this, Fairy Niyue expressed disappointment. Missing a female True Alchemist was a loss to Xuanyin Pavilion.
After returning to Xuanyin Pavilion.
Lu Changan speeds up the improvement of divination and strengthens his strength to deal with possible threats in the future.
Improve divination, speed up krypton life, and upgrade to the third level as soon as possible.
The third-level high-grade divination skills, coupled with the six or seven third-level divination rare items on hand, greatly increase the ability to calculate and conceal the secrets of heaven.
This has the highest priority.
Not just to deal with the Peacock Saint and the Valley of the Beast King.
In the future, Lu Changan will face his "fellow disciples" from the Central Daqing Region. Fellow practitioners of Changqing Gong, who are stronger in divination, can take advantage of them.
In terms of strengthening strength, it is impossible to improve the cultivation level in the short term.
Lu Changan's focus is on body refining, puppets, talisman formations, etc.
In Xuanyin Pavilion, with the blessing of the wonderful music of Yin Dao, Lu Changan's cultivation of immortality improved faster.
…
Two and a half years later.
Lu Changan was 244 years old. While practicing at Xuanyin Pavilion, he was silently paying attention to the war situation in the Wei Dao Alliance.
With enough information media, Lu Changan could make guesses from time to time.
The calculated results are increasingly unfavorable.
In the past two or three years, although the Wei Dao Alliance and the Beast King Valley are still in a stalemate and have not yet ceased fighting, the situation has stabilized.
Based on intelligence and calculations, Lu Changan felt that the possibility of peace talks and an armistice was gradually increasing.
The Beast King Valley may need to rest for some years to digest the territory it has occupied, and then start the war after the Son of Destiny leaves.
Lu Changan has a plan to deal with future crises.
If the truce is short, you can just hide for a while and it will have little impact on your practice.
You don't even have to dodge.
Staying in Xuanyin Pavilion, joining forces with Fairy Niyue, a later major cultivator, and with the help of the third-level formation, there is no opponent at all if the Nascent Soul does not come out.
The worst case scenario is that the true identity of the Turtle Talisman Master will be revealed to Fairy Niyue and give her a "surprise".
Normally, it is impossible for True Monarch Nascent Soul to be at the mercy of the Peacock Saint and take risks to cross behind the enemy forces and go deep into Feng Yuan Kingdom.
The Heavenly Master of Feng Yuan Kingdom will not allow Yuanying from a foreign country to come to his territory to cause trouble.
Moreover, the Peacock Saint must rely mainly on her personal strength to untie her knot. If she sends out Nascent Soul to scare Lu Changan away, she may never find another chance in her life.
If the truce lasts for a long time and the Peacock Saint has enough time to deal with him, it will be a bit tricky.
Lu Changan has two choices:
One is to run further.
Travel through the Poison Swamp and go to the boundary between the two religions.
Or, take a detour to Daqing Middle Territory, which is the territory of the ten Xuanmen sects, and the demonic forces dare not invade.
It's just that the journey is far away. To go to the Central Territory, you have to cross other territories invaded by the devil, and you have to take a long detour. There are also risks in traveling.
Second option: Repeat the same trick, using Mr. Xu and Xuanyin Pavilion's clues as bait to capture the Peacock Saint.
Even if you can't solve the Peacock Saint, take down the five-color peacock and refine the supernatural peacock puppet that imitates the true spirit form.
The prerequisite for the second choice is to confirm that the Peacock Saint can handle the pursuit without bringing Nascent Soul to help.
Although this possibility is extremely low, it should be considered.
No matter which choice you make, divination enhancement is important.
Although the third-level high-grade divination cannot predict the fate of the Nascent Soul, if you are prepared, you can get some clues by calculating the life expectancy.
In the past two years or so, Lu Changan has lost twenty years of his life, and his divination skills are approaching the third level.
The effect of Krypton Life is excellent.
Although he lost a lot of life, Lu Changan also received good news.
The third-level longevity fruit obtained from the Wanhua Chamber of Commerce has finally matured.
The materials for the third-level longevity elixir have already been prepared.
