The Qi Kingdom of the Seven Kingdoms Alliance, in an underground cave thousands of miles away from the "Jueyuan Forbidden Land".
Lu Changan sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, his consciousness immersed in the fifth frame of the Nine-Seal Monument.
The fifth generation of the Nine-Seal Monument is now one-fifth of the way through.
The size of the area lit up this time was also one-tenth, the same as last time, but it was beyond his expectation.
Because Patriarch Tianluo took away the body of Yuanying three times and lost part of the origin of Yuanying's spiritual body.
Not long ago, in order to avoid being tracked and locked by the Blood Bat King, a Nascent Soul Forbidden Technique was cast, causing the entire Nascent Soul spirit body to wither and reduce by 10%.
In terms of the integrity of Nascent Soul, it is not as good as the original Lord Chahai.
Lu Changan speculated from this that the progress of lighting was linked to the great realm and had nothing to do with the strength of the soul in the Nascent Soul stage.
In addition to realm, it may involve characteristics related to reincarnation.
Both are in the Nascent Soul stage, whether it is the early stage or the middle or late stage, even if their magical powers are very different, there is no difference in their longevity and life essence.
Perhaps, in the middle and later stages of Devouring the Nascent Soul, the lighting progress is also one-tenth.
After a long time.
Lu Changan opened his eyes and sorted out some useful memory information from the vast and disordered ocean of memories of Patriarch Tianluo.
Ancestor Tianluo did not have any outstanding skills in cultivating immortals. He only lived a long time and had several third-level skills. Overall, he was slightly inferior to Master Lihuo.
Without being able to transform into reincarnation, even if Tianluo Ancestor has a fourth-level skill, it will not be of much use to Lu Changan, and he will not have so much energy to learn and comprehend.
In terms of fighting skills, Patriarch Tianluo is relatively mediocre among those at the same level as Nascent Soul. However, he specializes in some heresy, and his ability to protect himself is pretty good.
The side method that he is best at is the yin and yang dual cultivation method, which has the effect of preserving the appearance and even returning youthfulness, and can promote cultivation and speed up the recovery of the lost essence, blood and vitality.
Therefore, the ancestor of Tianluo was full of energy and had many heirs, developing the Tianluo Sect into a family style.
This person consumes essence and blood many times during the fight, and recovers quickly afterwards.
However, there are too few female cultivators in the realm of immortal cultivation and above, let alone Jurchen Lords, who basically come from the top forces in the surrounding areas.
The yin and yang dual cultivation method that Tianluo Patriarch is proficient in is called "Dragon and Phoenix Double Cauldron Method", which was obtained from an ancient cave. After he was promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, this method encountered a bottleneck and had little effect on promoting cultivation.
Lu Changan secretly thought: The resources in the Eastern Daqing Region are poor and there are too few high-level female cultivators, which has restricted the development of Tianluo Patriarch's side sect.
Otherwise, relying on the superb yin and yang dual cultivation method, in places where the civilization of immortal cultivation is more developed, the help should be greater, and there may be some hope of being promoted to the middle stage of Nascent Soul.
""Dragon and Phoenix Double Cauldron Method", I will sort out the memory of the secret method in the future. Even if it is not used in this life, it may be able to assist in practice in the next life."
Lu Changan was pressed for time and prioritized sorting out the most important memories.
Especially the opportunity to be promoted to Nascent Soul.
Fortunately, the general information about [Tianying Fruit] has been sorted out.
Tianluo Sect does have a secretly cultivated [Tianying Fruit], which is more than a hundred years old.
[Tianying Fruit] can grow stably only on level 4 spiritual vein soil.
The Tianluo Sect lost the Chen Kingdom too quickly, and the fourth level of the Spiritual Vein Mountain Gate was destroyed, which delayed the cultivation and growth of this main medicine for birth control.
According to the memory information: the [Sky Infant Fruit] is not in the hands of the Tianluo Ancestor, and it has not even been brought to the Seven Nations Alliance.
Instead, it is hidden in a secret place on the way, including some precious resources.
That secret treasure house requires the direct bloodline of the Tianluo Ancestor and the same token key to open it, otherwise the self-destruction ban will be triggered.
That token key, in the hands of the Xie clan leader, is the only remaining Xie clan's late-stage pill-forming major cultivator.
The head of the Xie clan was severely injured in the pursuit of the Blood Spirit Sect. He used the life-saving trump card of the Nascent Soul level to break out of the siege with Sect Master Wei.
At the same time, Sect Master Wei and the other two descendants of the mid-stage True Pills each carry the same birth-making auxiliary medicine, which are both fourth-level elixirs and exotic herbs.
Lu Changan had to admit that Patriarch Tianluo was very aware of risk sharing.
…
"[Tian Ying Guo] is not in the Seven Nations Alliance. We still need to find the whereabouts of the Xie clan leader and return again."
"And the calamity in the future is getting closer and closer, I'm afraid there won't be enough time to make plans."
After Lu Changan analyzed it, he sighed with regret and shook his head.
In this world, it is difficult to be perfect, everything goes as planned, and there will always be gains and losses.
If you are greedy again, the risk is quite high.
Lu Changan decided to give up the [Tian Ying Fruit] and other baby-making materials.
The decision made back then remains unchanged.
If the Evergreen Gong from the Central Region dares to come over, he will just run away.
Nearly a year.
He successively had Taiyin Jade Liquid and Ziwu Qingfeng, which was a rare opportunity for ordinary alchemy repair.
Fortunately, the trophies of Patriarch Tianluo brought some surprises to Lu Changan.
There are several fourth-level materials in the space ring.
In addition to herbs, several pieces of fourth-level ore, gold and iron materials can be used to refine magic weapons, or to strengthen and upgrade quasi-fourth-level puppets.
The blue-armored puppet has been upgraded to a complete fourth-level puppet quality, and the materials are almost the same.
These fourth-level materials saved Lu Changan a century, or even a hundred years of progress.
The trophies include two Nascent Soul-level magic weapons, which are the best and the best.
The Tianluo Sect is a Nascent Soul force that has been passed down for thousands of years. The sect-suppressing magic weapon [Wind and Cloud Fan] has been passed down from generation to generation and complements the exercises.
However, in the early stage of Nascent Soul, controlling the best magic weapon consumes a lot of money and is not suitable for long-term or frequent use.
The best magic weapon is more suitable for use in the middle and later stages of Nascent Soul.
It is said that the top Nascent Soul monks in Tianheng Continent control stronger imitation spiritual treasures and can easily kill ordinary Nascent Soul Lords.
Loots below the Nascent Soul level were basically unattractive to Lu Changan, who was in the late stage of the Immortal Golden Elixir.
Even strategic resources such as crystal condensation pills, pill-forming spiritual objects, level-breaking pills in the pill-forming stage, etc.
Unless it is a third-level longevity pill or a third-level longevity fruit.
Ancestor Tianluo’s trophy does not have a longevity pill, but there is a longevity fruit that has grown to the third level!
The ancestor of Tianluo, as a Yuanying old monster, had taken the third-level longevity pill and planned to cultivate the fourth-level longevity fruit.
If a fourth-level life-extending pill is refined, an ordinary monk can extend his life by at least one dozen years.
Lu Changan kept the third-level top longevity fruit well.
In the future, there may be two use options:
First, use the Evergreen Secret Technique to promote it to the fourth level of longevity fruit.
Second, refine the third-level quality life-extending pill to refresh drug resistance.
In the cave, Lu Changan initially sorted out his memories and trophies.
Then without missing a moment, he headed straight to the Jueyuan Forbidden Land thousands of miles away.
It turns out that the location Lu Changan chose to sort out the memory information of Patriarch Tianluo was relatively close to the space node of Tinghai Pavilion.
If a risk suddenly strikes, Lu Changan can leave Daqing from the space node as soon as possible.
…
The Jueyuan Forbidden Land is one of the famous and dangerous forbidden areas in the Seven Kingdoms Alliance.
There is a bottomless abyss here, which is shrouded in strange fog. In addition to irrational ferocious beasts and evil spirits, there are also occasional spatial disorders.
The deeper you go, the stronger the strange fog becomes, making it easier to lose direction.
When human monks enter, their spiritual consciousness and magic power will continue to be weakened.
In the past tens of thousands of years, there have been many monks who have lost their way in the Jueyuan Forbidden Land and never returned.
In the deepest part of the Jue Abyss, even the Nascent Soul stage has been obviously suppressed. There are no normally applicable heavenly materials and earthly treasures in it, and the Nascent Soul Lord does not want to explore deeply in an unknown and dangerous place.
Two hours later.
A young man in blue robe has entered the forbidden area of Jue Abyss, carefully exploring and sinking under the abyss.
The entrance to the Jueyuan Forbidden Land is only a few hundred miles in radius. The deeper you go, the wider the space becomes.
The deep and endless leaden gray strange fog gives people a sense of fear of imbalance in deep space.
Fortunately, Lu Changan has the memory path of Zhenjun Chahai.
Zhenjun Chahai studied the records left by his ancestors, and at that time he bumped into the forbidden area of Jueyuan, but he could not come out.
If it weren't for the Nascent Soul Lord, who has strong spiritual consciousness and senses, the three people back then might have been lost in it.
Fortunately, the location of that space node is not in the deepest part of the abyss.
Along the way, Lu Changan's consciousness was restricted by the strange fog, and he only found a few monks on the periphery. It was more like they were temporarily hiding here to avoid being wanted or in a demonic war.
After entering the deep layers, except for the occasional ferocious beasts and evil spirits, no other monks were seen.
In order to avoid exposing the location of the space nodes, Lu Changan tried his best to avoid the ferocious beasts and evil spirits in the strange fog.
Avoid it if you can.
If you can't avoid it, let the puppet clones and rock rats take action, killing them with thunder and erasing any traces.
Lu Changan doesn't use magic at all.
Ever since he sensed the approach of the man from the Central Daqing Territory, Lu Changan had almost restricted his magic power and mainly relied on third-level body refining and talismans to act.
Lu Changan was worried that if there was a fight, the Evergreen Golden Elixir would be activated and that person would be able to sense a more precise area.
The Seven Kingdoms Alliance has a vast territory, surpassing that of the Wei Dao Alliance, and there are many health-preserving monks.
Lu Changan wished that the "opportunity" would be locked in the Seven Kingdoms Alliance and spend more time and energy.
"arrive!"
Half a day later, Lu Changan finally arrived near the space node in Zhenjun Chahai's memory.
The dark brown mountain wall is covered with moss, and a cracked mountain crack flows out of a light gray stream, which contains corrosive power and exudes earthly turbidity.
Normally, when a living monk enters, it is like jumping into the water of corpses, and there is no way to survive.
Lu Changan looked at it for a moment and took out a third-level sea pearl. A layer of hazy blue light enveloped his figure, blocking the light gray water flow.
Follow the erosion stream and drill into the cracks in the mountain wall.
That mountain crevice could not accommodate adults. Lu Changan used the secret method of body training to compress the muscles and bones.
After the initial tightness, it gradually opens up and feels comfortable inside.
Unconsciously, a corrosive underground river came into Lu Changan's field of vision.
There are intricate underground passages inside, with many branches, making it easy to get lost.
Lu Changan faintly smelled a hint of danger.
There are no traces of living creatures around here.
The two lives are merged, and the spiritual consciousness is raised to the limit, surpassing most of the early Yuanying stages.
"Mild spatial disturbance."
Lu Changan looked solemn as he came to a stalactite cave.
He kneaded the spell with his fingers, recited the incantation in a low voice, and cast Tinghai Pavilion's forbidden spell.
Buzz!
A layer of black and blue water ripples passed by.
The space of the cramped stalactite crypt in front of me was suddenly enlarged ten times, and the scene also underwent a completely different change.
Those natural stone walls and stalactites are bare, cold and stiff, leaving strange wrinkles, and the creases are strangely smooth and flat.
Lu Changan knew that those were caused by spatial disorder or even slight spatial distortion.
There is no living thing here, including vegetation.
There is nothing in the center of the stalactite crypt. If there is any spatial disorder, it comes from here.
There was a twisted dark blue water whirlpool there, trembling slightly and isolated by the fourth-order formation seal.
Four concentrated black and blue water beads, as deep as the sea, form the foundation of the fourth-order formation, absorbing the surrounding water vapor and earthly evil turbidity.
However, two of the four fourth-level water-suppressing beads that serve as the foundation have become dull or even cracked.
"Fortunately, there has been no change in more than ten years. As a fourth-level formation mage, Zhenjun Chahai had reinforced it once when he came here last time."
Lu Changan came to the twisting dark blue water.
It looks like a water vortex, but it is actually the location of a space node. The entrance to the passage opened by the space water system array is connected to the space node at the other end. In its heyday, it was at least a fourth-order top-level formation.
Lu Changan took out a formation flag and opened the formation seal according to Zhenjun Chahai's method.
Suddenly, the distortion of the dark blue water vortex became more obvious, sending out wisps of chaotic spatial fluctuations around it.
Lu Changan's dual cultivation of law and body, and the late third-level body refining of the body, can withstand slight spatial distortion.
As long as it's not a space crack, it won't kill you.
If you are an ordinary alchemy monk, even if you are protected by magic power and magic weapons, you will still be at considerable risk.
Lu Changan is not worried that he will not be able to pass through the space formation channel.
If he couldn't pass, the three original Lord Chahai would have been dead.
Lu Changan is worried about whether the other end of the space node is safe.
According to the memory of Zhenhai Zhenjun, the space node on the other side of the Great Abyss is also in a secret place in the forbidden area. After he escaped from the pursuit of Zhenhai Sixteen Sects, it was determined that no one else knew about it.
Lu Changan came here this time just to make sure it was safe and would not enter immediately.
Observe for a while and wait until the space becomes more stable.
Next is testing.
Lu Changan successively sent several second- and third-level puppets into the dark blue water whirlpool where the space node was located.
After the puppet entered the space channel, it immediately cut off the induction, which was what Lu Changan expected.
He gave the puppet simple instructions in advance to reach the space node at the other end of the formation channel, and then return the same way.
Finally, Lu Changan sent out a third-level high-grade assassin puppet clone.
In order to keep it alive, Lu Changan gave him several third-level high-quality talismans.
The puppet clone is possessed by the peak of the second-generation pill formation. After entering the space channel, although it cannot be accurately controlled, it maintains a vague sense of connection with Lu Changan to know whether it is alive and its general condition.
Lu Changan also gave simple instructions to the puppet clone.
After receiving the core inheritance of Qianji Cult, Lu Changan practiced the method of cultivating puppet spirits. Now, the powerful soul of the puppet clone has cultivated the prototype of puppet spirit, which possesses rudimentary independent abilities.
Waited for a long time.
There were several dents on the body, and the injured puppet clone, with dim light, returned to Daqing's side.
Behind him, there was only a third-level low-grade puppet that was almost falling apart.
Lu Changan couldn't help but look happy when he received the picture information transmitted by the puppet clone.
Just now, due to the long distance in space, the puppet clones were unable to share their senses synchronously. At this moment, the information feedback was delayed.
"Zhenjun Chahai's handling of the confidentiality of space nodes is quite safe."
Lu Changan nodded secretly.
Feedback from the puppet clone:
The node at the other end of the great abyss has not been discovered yet. The entrance to the node there is similar to this one and is currently relatively stable.
However, the space formation channel lacks maintenance and has not been completely repaired, making it relatively fragile. When traveling through it, you will face space chaos and slight distortion.
The energy level of the individual creatures traveling through the space cannot be too strong. Otherwise, it will trigger a stronger backlash in the space channel, cause space cracks, and even space collapse.
…
After confirming the reliability of the space node, Lu Changan returned the same way and left the Jueyuan Forbidden Land.
Before leaving Daqing, Lu Changan started two things.
Firstly, it would be best if we could know the identity of the person from Daqing Middle Territory.
Lu Changan felt strange about the previous induction out of thin air, and speculated that the man from the Central Daqing Territory might have encountered some trouble when he passed through the Demonic Territory on his way to the Seven Nations Alliance.
The True Lord Yuanying of the Daqing Middle Region is not an unknown person. If there is a conflict with the Demonic Yuanying, it is possible to get information.
Another thing, the whereabouts of clues about [Tianying Fruit].
Lu Changan didn't have time to plan for the baby-making resources such as [Tianying Fruit], but he could sell his favor and let others "do it for him".
No matter what, we cannot let the enemy Xie family get it. There is hope of cultivating the Nascent Soul stage in the future.
Lu Changan is ready to cooperate with Lihuo Palace.
[Tian Ying Guo] still has over a hundred years of medicinal content.
If it works perfectly, maybe you can let Lihuo Palace "keep it" for you for many years.
Come back and get it when you need it.
Anyway, currently only Lu Changan knows the space node passages between the two realms.
Theoretically, if the stable space passage can be restored, Lu Changan can even become a villain between the two major realms of Dayuan and Daqing.
However, due to the threat of the Evergreen Skill in the Central Realm, each space node will be lost each time it travels, accelerating the collapse of the formation channel. This idea is temporarily unrealistic.
…
Three days later.
The Seven Kingdoms Alliance, the new mountain gate of Lihuo Palace.
Wang Feng, the contemporary elder who received the summons, rushed back to the mountain gate.
At the core of the quasi-fourth-level spiritual vein, there is a main peak towering into the clouds, and the spiritual energy environment has almost reached the fourth level.
"Ruyan! Senior Brother Nie's new news is true..."
Wang Feng is walking on the imitation [Lihuo Gourd]. He has a handsome face and a short beard. He is about thirty years old. He has accumulated more years than before and has the majestic bearing of a superior.
"Husband, this is the jade box found in my private room. There are restrictions on it that cannot be broken by the alchemy monks."
Wang Feng's Taoist companion is named Chen Ruyan. She is wearing a navy blue dress and has a classic and elegant temperament.
Wang Feng took the jade box and found that there were nominations on it.
The five big characters "Junior Brother Wang Qinqi" are the most obvious, with neat workmanship and no personal style.
In the lower right corner, there is also a one-word signature: Nie.
The word "Junior Brother Wang" felt strange to Wang Feng. He had not heard this title for several years.
In today's Lihuo Palace, most of the older monks have passed away. As the great elder at the peak of the Immortal Golden Core, he is the strongest and controls the most power.
Even the few alchemy monks who are senior to him are still called great elders.
Back then, Nie Yuan claimed to be his senior brother. He was also an immortal golden elixir, and his strength crushed him and shocked him.
At that time, Nie Yuan brought three boosts to Lihuo Palace during its trough period, helping Lihuo Palace rebuild the gate and lay the foundation for its revival and prosperity. (Chapter 278, 279)
Today's Lihuo Palace, apart from the absence of True Lord Nascent Soul, has restored most of its past heritage.
"This restriction..."
Wang Feng took the jade box and found that the restriction was very clever and contained part of the essence of the core inheritance of Lihuo Palace.
Even he can't crack it in a short time.
If it is cracked by force, the jade box will be destroyed automatically.
"Could it be that Senior Brother Nie has reached that level? Or maybe..."
Regarding Senior Brother Nie Yuan back then, Wang Feng once speculated that he might have merged with Master Lihuo's remnant soul consciousness and inherited part of his legacy to repay his favor.
Buzz!
Wang Feng's immortal golden elixir magic power had just entered, and the jade box's restrictions were automatically broken.
The jade box restriction actually recognized the aura of his technique.
He is the only one who practices the Lihuo Palace Zong Zongzong technique and is at the pinnacle of the Immortal Golden Pill.
Inside the jade box, there are two items.
A jade slip and a sealed blood bead.
Wang Feng's spiritual consciousness explored the contents of the jade slip, and he couldn't help but feel moved, his expression became solemn.
Inside the jade slips, the secrets of the Xie clan of the Tianluo clan are recorded, and the details of the injured Tianluo clan leader and the Xie clan chief are also explained.
Especially the location of Tianying Fruit.
With the strength of Lihuo Palace, tracking the blood bead and attacking unexpectedly, it was not difficult to capture the seriously injured patriarch of the Xie clan, obtain the token, and open the secret treasure location where the Tianying Fruit was located.
Senior Brother Nie made it clear: He and Lihuo Palace no longer owe each other anything about what happened back then. The purpose of revealing key information this time is to reach an agreement and make a deal with Wang Feng.
Lihuo Palace took advantage of the situation to rob, and from all the proceeds, Nie Yuan only wanted the "Tianying Fruit". The Tianying Fruit still had a hundred years to grow, so he entrusted Wang Feng to keep it.
Nie Yuan did not want many other benefits, including Nascent Soul-level precious materials.
If Lihuo Palace keeps his integrity, Nie Yuan will also promise a favor in the future.
Of course, Nie Yuan also considered that Lihuo Palace couldn't help but was greedy, so he took the Tianying Fruit as his own and used it in advance.
If that happens, Wang Feng or Li Huogong will owe Nie Yuan a favor in the future.
Unless Lihuo Palace gives up this opportunity and does not borrow the information, Nie Yuan will come to "collect debts" in the future.
"Tianying fruit..."
Wang Feng took a deep breath and his expression changed. This is the most critical ingredient of the Infant Transformation Pill.
Even if you take it directly, it will have nearly half of the effect of Yinghua Dan.
He cultivated to the peak of Jindan and faced the Nascent Soul level.
Lihuo Palace put all its effort into cultivating him and spent all his inheritance to prepare him to have a baby at 70 to 80%.
…
Two days later.
A man in a hat with fake alchemy cultivation left in a hurry from a prosperous high-level fairy city in the Seven Kingdoms Alliance.
Not long ago, he purchased the latest information on the Six Demonic Sects from the Seven Nations Alliance's largest intelligence organization.
"The death of True Lord Fulong of the Fantasy Palace is suspected to be related to True Lord Aoki from the Central Daqing Territory."
"At the border of the demonic battlefield, the deputy leader of the Seven Kingdoms Alliance personally responded to the wounded Aoki Lord who was being hunted and killed, and treated him as an honored guest."
"Shenjun Aoki! Is there any injury on your body?"
Lu Changan, who was thousands of miles away, felt terrified. The Evergreen Dao Fruit in his body was sealed, and his magic power was not leaked at all.
He felt a warning sign in his heart and made another prediction of bad luck.
As a result, the original minor evil was promoted to the medium evil hexagram.
You must know that the Seven Nations Alliance has such a large area and exceeds the Guardian Alliance. The other party has only reached the border, and the disaster is brewing to such an extent.
The so-called injury is probably a disguise.
It gives people the illusion of fighting to the death with the demon Yuanying, being seriously injured, and losing vitality.
Lu Changan no longer hesitated, and regardless of the resources such as the Tianying Fruit, he put away the puppet clones and quickly returned to the Jueyuan Forbidden Land.
Arrive at the stalactite crypt of the space node in one breath.
Restore the sealing formation.
Lu Changan performed the third-level late-stage body refining and attached several amulets to his body, making his body look like a streamlined swimming fish.
With a "pop" sound, the twisted dark blue water swirled into the space node, causing ripples in the space like water waves.
