Above the Jiugang Heaven, Lu Changan's spiritual consciousness at the peak of his Nascent Soul stage scanned the surroundings and found no third party within the range of his senses.
This place is at least several hundred miles away from the deep mountains and valleys before.
Due to some reasons, the two men of Zhenjun Chahai did not come together to pursue him.
squeak!
The Earth Rock Rat cleaned up the battlefield, collected the spoils of war, and took the storage bracelet of Lord Chahai.
In the world of cultivating immortals, the storage bags of most cultivators are not real space props, but are made from low-level pseudo-space materials and special forbidden refining tools.
The principle is equivalent to compressing the volume of several water tanks or houses into the size of a small cloth bag.
At the same time, it must be combined with weight loss restrictions, otherwise there will be a hole in the ground with every foot.
The storage bracelet of Lord Chahai and the storage ring obtained from Master Lihuo are both real space props, made from space treasure materials and high-level prohibitions.
Lu Changan inspected the space bracelet and found that its shell was made of hard material and had powerful defensive restrictions.
However, after the battle just now, the restrictions on the surface of the storage bracelet were relatively weak. Lu Changan teamed up with the fourth-level puppet to break it easily.
"Tinghaige Yuanying, are you so poor?"
Lu Changan scanned it with his spiritual consciousness and discovered that the highest-grade magic weapon among them was only a top-grade magic weapon.
There are only tens of thousands of spiritual stones stored in it, and there is no time to count the other material elixirs for the time being.
His worth is actually not as good as Master Lihuo.
It is obviously not in line with the net worth of Yuanying Zhenjun who came from Dayuan.
Lu Changan was surprised, and he didn't know the reason until later.
There are still things to deal with here, and Lu Changan has no time to carefully study the results, including the specific changes in the fifth generation of the Nine Seal Monument.
He put away his puppets and pets, concealed his magic aura, descended from the Jiugang sky, and landed again on the ground of the Black Mist Mountains.
…
Flying hundreds of miles.
Lu Changan quietly approached the deep mountain valley where True Lord Chahai had been.
At the entrance of the cave in the valley, two people, a beauty in a feather skirt and a dark-skinned middle-aged man, were in the middle stage of alchemy formation. They both had injuries on their bodies and were sitting cross-legged to regulate their breathing.
Not long ago, the two of them cleaned up the battlefield and determined that the five core-forming killers of the Wujian Sect were dead, including the Ashes Helmsman of the Wujian Sect.
As for the Jueying helmsman who escaped with serious injuries, the two of them failed to keep him and did not dare to pursue him.
They still have to leave one person to detain Xing Peng.
Without the True Lord's instructions, the two of them did not dare to act hastily and stayed where they were.
"When the Great Elder comes back, the late-stage pill-forming killer who escaped after being seriously injured will not be able to escape from his grasp."
"Hmm? Zhenjun ended the battle? He did it very quickly."
At this time, the two of them looked up at Jiu Gangtian, which was hundreds of miles away. The faint aura of Nascent Soul-level fighting skills that had been faintly transmitted before had disappeared.
The two of them had relaxed expressions and had great confidence in Lord Chahai.
Back then, in the ancient battlefield of the Great Abyss, the great elder was hunted down by the mid-stage Nascent Soul, but he escaped unharmed.
Although his cultivation later fell to the Core Formation stage, he was able to travel through the space nodes in the forbidden areas of the Central Region and reach Daqing.
at this time.
A wave of Nascent Soul-level spiritual pressure was approaching.
The young man in blue robe and big ears who left before returned to the valley.
"Great Elder!"
"Congratulations, True Lord, on your victory."
The beauty in the feather skirt and the dark-skinned middle-aged man greeted each other respectfully.
"Well, is Xing Peng still here?"
The young man in blue robe and big ears came to the two of them from a high position.
"True Lord, don't worry. That kid's cultivation has been crippled, and he's so injured that he won't be able to escape."
Report from a dark-skinned middle-aged man with a smile.
Suddenly, the eyes of the "Zhenhai Zhenjun" in front of him turned cold, and only an afterimage remained on the spot.
Click!
The dark-skinned middle-aged man tilted his neck, and his Tianling Gai was grasped by a huge hand.
"Great Elder, what are you..."
The beauty in the feather skirt next to her lost color and her legs trembled.
Is it possible that after the true king of Chahai accomplished his mission, he would kill the donkey and kill the two of them?
Poof!
A ray of claw light passed by, and the beauty in the feather skirt froze.
An earthy yellow halo emerged, and a rat demon appeared on the ground, slashing the belly of the beauty in the feather skirt with one claw, piercing through the slim and beautiful body.
"Zhenjun Chahai...killed fellow sect members...you are so cruel..."
The beauty in the feather skirt stretched out her blood-stained arms, her face was miserable, and she collapsed to the ground.
In an instant, two of Tinghai Pavilion's mid-level Dan-forming men died.
The two of them never expected that the "True Lord Chahai" in front of them was not the original owner. He was being approached by a late-level third-level body-refining expert and a monster, and was unable to fight back.
After a moment, Lu Changan withdrew his palm from the dark-skinned middle-aged Tianling Gai, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
By searching the soul of the dark-skinned middle-aged man, Lu Changan learned about the identities and origins of Zhenjun Chahai and the three people, and the reason why they traveled from the Great Abyss to Daqing.
Indeed, as Lu Changan had speculated before, Tinghai Pavilion had long been in decline and could not even survive in the Great Abyss, and was hunted down and suppressed.
As a last resort, Zhenjun Chahai and others escaped to Daqing through the space nodes left by their ancestors.
True Lord Chahai is the current successor of Tinghai Pavilion.
Among the "remnants" of Tinghai Pavilion, he is the only one who has been promoted to the Nascent Soul stage in the past few thousand years and has become a fourth-level array mage.
In order to repair the formation channel at the space node and gather materials, Zhenjun Chahai resorted to selling iron, so he was very poor.
Even so, the space node passage through Daqing has not been completely repaired. The passage is not stable and can only accommodate monks below the Nascent Soul stage.
This is also why the True Lord Chahai that Lu Changan met was not in the complete Nascent Soul stage, and his magic power was less than 70% of that in his heyday.
"The ancient sect that once gave birth to the God-Transforming Heavenly Lord has fallen to this level..."
Lu Changan sighed secretly, and at the same time, a warning bell sounded in his heart.
The destruction of Tinghai Pavilion is obviously inseparable from the "Xuantian Gourd Vine".
Of course, the era of its destruction was not the period when Tinghai Pavilion was at its peak and the God-Transforming Heavenly Lord existed, but in the later eras.
At that time, Tinghai Pavilion still had Nascent Soul Great Monk in charge, but they could not save Xuantian Gourd Vine, so they finally chose to escape. The shelter established in Daqing was just one of them.
The Lingmai Mountain Gate where Tinghai Pavilion was located back then was located near the coast of Yuanzhou Continent and was the dominant force in the offshore area.
After its demise, the affiliated Yuanying Sect in the Linhai area divided up the legacy and territory left by Tinghai Pavilion, which became the Linhai Sixteenth Sect along the coast of Yuanzhou mainland today, also known as the "Zhenhai Sixteenth Sect".
As the name suggests, deterrence and suppression in the coastal area are far away from overseas forces.
The strength of the "Sixteen Zhenhai Sects" is even stronger than Daqing's six demonic sects and ten Xuanmen sects combined.
This alliance of forces shocks the coast and enjoys rich resources. At the same time, Yuanying is in the late stage and ranks as one of the three great monks of Dayuan.
Its reputation is not limited to Dayuan, but has even spread to other states in Tianheng Continent.
…
Lu Changan asked the rock rats to clean up the battlefield and let loose near the valley.
He returned to his original image and entered the valley cave alone.
"Thank you, sir, for saving me. I will die with no regrets..."
Xing Peng was lying in a cage with bruises all over his body, his limbs were twisted, and his voice was thin and weak. It was obvious that he had been tortured inhumanely.
Due to the existence of the Gu God's Restriction, Tinghai Pavilion monks cannot forcibly search souls, but it does not hinder their execution.
Lu Changan's consciousness swept away and he found that most of Xing Peng's cultivation had been destroyed, and only incomplete elixir power was left in his body. Even if he could survive, he would not live for a few years.
With pity in Lu Changan's eyes, he lifted the ban on the Gu God and searched Xing Peng's soul to obtain his previous memories.
Under severe torture, Xing Peng failed to keep his mouth shut and leaked some information related to Lu Changan.
The secrets that Xing Peng considers to be core, such as the Qinglong Society, Lu Changan's true strength, and private network, have not been betrayed.
Even the relationship between his eldest cousin was not leaked in order to gain a chance for himself.
However, the information about Lu Changan helping Xing Peng convert alchemy was tricked out by Zhenjun Chahai. This was the only mistake and was close to Lu Changan's secret.
Fortunately, when Lu Changan tested and helped him transform the elixir, he did so through the indirect method of "spiritual elixir" and did not expose the secret of evergreen.
"What is your last wish?"
Lu Changan looked calm and did not blame Xing Peng for leaking the secret by mistake.
Not every monk is determined and unyielding.
Under severe torture, few people can truly endure it.
Strictly speaking, Xing Peng and Zhou Qingxuan were both implicated by Lu Changan.
When he went to Zhou's house for an unannounced visit, Lu Changan's powerful spiritual senses naturally detected it in advance.
It's just that Ting Haige's secret techniques are superior.
In order to protect the Zhou family, Lu Changan coldly refused Zhou Qingxuan's plea and refused to show up in person.
Fortunately, I didn't let the puppet clone go over at that time, otherwise more secrets may be exposed, including the Blue Dragon Society and so on.
"Hui Lu Zhenren. I have become a useless person and have no love in my life. I hope you can rescue cousin Jueying and don't involve him in today's incident."
Xing Peng's voice was harsh and weak as he begged.
Lu Changan looked surprised. He didn't expect that Xing Peng would still have some conscience before his deadline.
His eldest cousin almost risked his own life in order to rescue him.
Lu Changan counted with his fingers and determined that the Jueying Helmsman fled for his life at that time and did not see the confrontation between him and True Lord Chahai.
The range of spiritual consciousness in the Dan Formation stage is not that far.
"I agree to your request."
Lu Changan nodded, making up for his involvement in Xing Peng.
This person has been providing him with information and handling hidden matters for hundreds of years. He is diligent and hardworking and has achieved great results.
"Thank you Master Lu."
Xing Peng showed a pleased smile and knelt down to worship.
Then, he stretched out his palm and slapped the Tianling cover with a "bang" sound, and died on the spot.
Lu Changan did not stop him. The immortal cultivator whose magic power was abolished was more miserable than death.
Instead of surviving, he was tracked down by Wu Jian Sect's senior officials and Lu Changan was implicated.
Xing Peng kept silent and kept the last secret, which was a very smart choice.
He used this method to exchange for Lu Changan's promise.
Lu Changan cleaned up the scene, including the aura of the remnant soul on Xing Peng's body, to prevent any traceback methods.
On the other side, the rock rat handed over the trophies in the valley and had destroyed any suspicious objects among them.
Lu Changan took a general glance and found that the two alchemy monks in Tinghai Pavilion were also very poor. They only had basic magic weapons and not many elixirs and spirit stones.
After all, he is a monk who is on the run and wants to "finance" Lord Chahai to repair the space node passage.
As for the several pill-forming monks of Wujian Sect, as killers, it is naturally impossible for them to take all their wealth with them.
However, the greater the number, the cumulative harvest is astonishing.
Those magic weapons alone are worth a lot of money.
As a weapon refiner, you can recycle them into high-quality materials, which can be used to build puppets and refine magic weapons.
…
Half an hour later.
Lu Changan tracked the traces of Master Jueying on the outskirts of the Black Mist Mountains.
Buried in a dry sand cave is a man in a cloak and black robe, with a special mask on his face and blurred outlines.
Lu Changan's consciousness swept over and found that the Jueying Helmsman was seriously injured and unconscious.
Several second-level monsters were wandering around, seeming to be wary of each other's aura, and were approaching tentatively.
A breeze passed by.
Next to the Jueying helmsman, a traveling Taoist priest wearing a bamboo hat appeared.
Ouch!
Several nearby monsters fled in fear, but they only managed to escape for a few miles before their spirits collapsed and died.
"The injury is severe, the backlash of the secret surgery. If not treated in time, it may cause damage to the foundation."
Lu Changan took out a third-grade high-grade healing medicine from the trophies of True Lord Chahai and gave it to the Jueying Helmsman.
During this period, Lu Changan looked at this person several times.
"Hey! He does have some luck."
Lu Changan couldn't help but make calculations and analysis, and found that the Jueying Helm Master had an extraordinary destiny, and was currently the Nascent Soul Seed that the top level of Wujian Sect was paying attention to.
Saving this man may be a big problem for the Wei Dao Alliance in the future.
Lu Changan suddenly had the idea to kill this new star of the demonic path, so that there would be one less unparalleled demon in the future.
Then, people with good luck will not die easily.
Lu Changan then deduced that this person's death would inevitably attract great attention and investigation from the top level of Wujian Sect.
Even, it does not rule out alarming the unpredictable Wujiang Sect Master!
That kind of situation would bring unnecessary risks to Lu Changan and would be harmful rather than beneficial.
Moreover, he would also break the promise he made to Xing Peng before his death.
"That's all! There are no eternal camps in the world of immortality."
Lu Changan sighed secretly, and with a thought, he let the Jueying Helmsman go.
Before this person regained consciousness, Lu Changan tried to search for his soul and found the core memory in his sea of consciousness, which was blocked by restrictions.
My recent memory can be traced, and there are no flaws.
Lu Changan has just finished searching for his soul.
The Jueying Helmsman struggled to open his eyes, revealing pupils as dark as night.
In the field of vision, a traveling Taoist man came into view, carrying a suitcase and cage on his back, covered in dust.
The magic aura on that Taoist's body was so profound and unpredictable that it was impossible to tell the depth.
"Senior's life-saving grace, Jueying is deeply grateful..."
The Jueying Helmsman noticed the healing elixir melted in his body, and his injuries were repairing quickly.
"It wasn't Pindao who saved you..."
The Taoist traveler paused for a moment, then carried the box and cage on his back, leaving behind a mysterious figure, and went into the distance with the wind.
"What do you call senior?"
"I am a poor Taoist, Taoist Tianji, and we will meet again if we are destined."
The old voice came, and the Taoist's back disappeared into the faint mist of the Black Mist Mountains.
"Taoist Tianji!"
Captain Jueying was in awe, as soon as he heard this title, he knew he was a peerless expert.
Many years later, even though he became the boss of the Demon Sect, Captain Jueying would remember the name of the mysterious Taoist. Without the help of the other party, he would have died tragically in the Black Mist Mountains.
…
Lu Changan stopped staying and flew away from the Black Mist Mountains.
He originally wanted to pretend to be Taoist Tianshu to confuse the public.
But it suddenly occurred to me that Tianshu Taoist seemed to be able to calculate, and he was worried about being sensed, so he changed his name.
There are also benefits to leaving a name.
If Lu Changan has something to do in the future and he needs a magic master, he might be able to come in handy.
A hundred years later, the entire area of the Guardian Alliance will be occupied by demons, so the possibility is not low.
Lu Changan did this to leave a way out for the future.
After leaving the Black Mist Mountains and passing by the Zhou family of the Royal Beast, Lu Changan still didn't stop.
Recently, the situation of the Zhou family has attracted the attention of all major forces in the Liang Kingdom, and even attracted people from the Wei Dao Alliance to investigate.
Lu Changan plans to compensate the beast-controlling Zhou family in the future, which is regarded as a favor.
…
Two days later.
Lu Changan quietly returned to Jinyun Valley. The monks at the mountain gate did not know that he had left.
Big Sun Peak, inside the cave.
Lu Changan closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, sensing the Nine Seal Monument deep in his consciousness.
Within the fifth frame seal of the Nine-Seal Monument, crystal white light flows in the top one-tenth area.
Unlike the last time when Master Lihuo's Nascent Soul was swallowed, the fifth frame seal did not show the phantom image of True Lord Chahai.
Lu Changan's expression changed and he thought, "Is it because the fifth life was not illuminated all the time?"
The fourth life of the Nine-Seal Monument is completely lit up after swallowing a Nascent Soul.
You can even activate three reincarnation modes independently.
However, converting it into a past life experience requires fulfilling an important last wish of the devoured person during his lifetime.
In the fifth life, the requirements are even higher. It requires swallowing an Avatar or ten Nascent Souls before it can be fully illuminated.
Only by lighting them all up can you start a new reincarnation independently.
With some doubts, Lu Changan sensed the Nine Seal Monument to find the answer.
The Nine-Seal Monument trembled slightly, conveying vague and abstract information concepts.
Lu Changan analyzed it and came up with the answer:
"It turns out that only by devouring a complete soul source and enough to light up a certain life can a picture of reincarnation be carved on the frame of the Nine-Seal Monument."
"And a Nascent Soul spirit body is not enough to light up the fifth life of the Jiuyin Monument. It is just a fragment and not complete."
"If these 'Nascent Soul Fragments' are gathered together and light up the fifth life, they can open two other ways of reincarnation."
Lu Changan was slightly disappointed. The method of reincarnation last time was difficult to replicate again.
unless!
Devouring the soul source of a god-incarnated heavenly king, as a complete existence, and thus lighting up the fifth life, the last reincarnation method can be carried out.
Two other ways of reincarnation:
One is to customize a new reincarnation life, which is equivalent to going back and restarting, but you can choose the location, talent, origin, luck, etc.
The other kind is to obtain a dream of Huang Liang, a life of cultivating immortals in a foreign land, and turn the other self in the dream into a lifetime of reincarnation experience.
"The appetite of the Nine-Seal Monument is getting bigger and bigger. The fifth life is going to devour the God-Transforming Heavenly Lord. Doesn't the sixth life correspond to the Lord Lianxu? The seventh life is the great power of Hedao... The entire human world cannot satisfy it."
Lu Changan couldn't help but shake his head and retract his thoughts.
He used his consciousness to explore the tenth area illuminated by the fifth life.
Fortunately, it contains the vast and disordered ocean of memories of True Lord Chahai.
Although it cannot be transformed into reincarnation, it does not prevent Lu Changan from sorting out some useful memory knowledge.
At this moment, Lu Changan has merged with the Nascent Soul-level soul, and his spiritual thoughts are so powerful that he can sort out memory fragments at a speed many times higher than before.
In just one month, I got a lot of useful information.
"Level 4 array mage, what a pity! There is no way to transform..."
Lu Changan can only read and acquire memorized knowledge.
It is like a library open to it, where knowledge and experience can be consulted.
Even if you take the time to sort out some magical powers and skills, you still need a lot of energy and time to learn and understand them.
At the level of the Nascent Soul stage, it can take decades or hundreds of years to cultivate a certain magical power or skill to perfection.
Lu Changan has learned enough skills on the side and has no extra energy to learn them one by one from beginning to end.
Even if you have the experience and insights in your memory, you can avoid many detours.
But after all, it is not your own experience and cannot be directly transformed into instinctive skills.
Zhenjun Chahai took the route of specialization, cultivating formations to the fourth level, and other skills of cultivating immortals were far inferior to Master Lihuo.
It's not that Master Lihuo doesn't want to specialize.
Cultivation of immortality and various arts also relies on talent, and Master Lihuo does not have any talent that reaches the top level.
"Water escape method, immortal water god, sky-swallowing tsunami..."
Zhenjun Chahai is good at quite a few magical powers and secret techniques.
However, most of them are based on Tinghai Pavilion's water-based exercises.
Lu Changan's wood-type skills cannot cultivate water-type magical powers, even if he transforms into a lifetime, the same will be true.
""Listen to the Sea God's Ear" does not have strict requirements on the attributes of the technique. It can be practiced without the Tinghai Pavilion technique, and it can have most of the effects. However, this magical power requires parts of legendary beasts and sea monsters, as well as secret recipes.
Only after a long period of practice can you succeed."
Lu Changan finally found a useful magical power and secret technique, at least it was possible to practice it.
…
Two years later, Lu Changan's age reached 315 years old.
Due to some considerations, he postponed his plan to go to Fengguo Aoyue Palace.
The main reason is that in order to deal with Lord Chahai, the strongest trump card of the fourth generation was used up.
At that time, although there was still a lot of power of the soul possessed by the fourth life, some of it was consumed after checking the memory of True Lord Chahai.
Without a trump card, Lu Changan's trip to Fengguo to obtain the Taiyin Jade Liquid would naturally attract people's jealousy. If he was targeted by the True Lord Nascent Soul, Lu Changan would not have enough confidence.
After all, to defeat an incomplete Nascent Soul Lord before, you had to go all out.
If there is no Nine Seal Monument, it can only be defeated but not killed.
In the past two years, Lu Changan has learned very important information from the memory of True Lord Chahai, which is worth every penny.
First, as the successor of Tinghai Pavilion, True Lord Chahai was too far apart in time and had little understanding of the true situation in the ancient ruins.
I don't even know the existence of Xuantian Gourd Vine.
Lu Changan breathed a sigh of relief, and finally felt at ease.
One of the three goals of the Return to Defend Dao Alliance is completed here.
Second, about the space node channel.
The Central Territory of the Great Abyss was once an ancient battlefield, with many forbidden areas and space cracks.
The ancestors of Tinghai Pavilion discovered one of the secret space nodes. After opening the space formation channel, they could travel to the space node at this end of Qingzhou.
Later, due to lack of maintenance, this secret space formation channel was damaged.
Chahai Zhenjun, as a fourth-level formation mage, smashed the pot and repaired it to a certain extent so that it could accommodate monks below Nascent Soul to travel through.
In Zhenjun Chahai's memory, except for the three people they traveled through, no one else knew about the existence of the spatial node.
The space node on Daqing's side is not in the Wei Dao Alliance, but another hidden location in the Eastern Region of Daqing.
Knowing the location of this space node, Lu Changan had an extra escape route.
If Da Qing can't survive, he can fight against Da Yuan instead.
The civilization of cultivating immortals there is more developed, and there are relatively more opportunities to have babies.
One last important piece of information.
News about the second Kunzhou!
The memory of Zhenjun Chahai knows the existence of Kunzhou, including its specific location.
Dakun is actually the realm of immortal cultivation around the great abyss!
Although the two are not adjacent to each other, Dakun is not located in Linhai.
Through the memories of the two Nascent Soul Lords, Lu Changan finally illuminated the location of Dakun in his previous life on the vast map of Tianheng Continent.
In this life, it is expected to return to the world where the Danjie family was in the previous life. This is a brand new breakthrough for Lu Changan who has experienced three reincarnations of immortality!
