Chapter 410 Return to Jinyun, the leader of the Demon Sect
Chapter 411 Return to Jinyun, the leader of the Demon Sect
Lu Changan did not deliberately hide his cultivation or identity, and sat calmly and comfortably on the back of the black water turtle.
After entering the border of Liang Kingdom, the induction array was immediately alerted and was discovered by the patrolling monks.
The surging water escape spiritual pressure of the late third-level spirit turtle made other monks afraid to approach, so they quickly reported it.
"Your Excellency, are you the Changqing Master from Jinyun Valley a hundred years ago?"
After a moment, three pill-forming escaping lights approached, one of which was thick and powerful, as if it was a late-stage pill-forming person.
In the center of the Huoyun Dunguang is a middle-aged monk in his forties or fifties wearing an ancient green war robe. He has gray hair on his temples, a stern look, and a straight back.
"It's Mr. Lu!"
Lu Changan nodded. It was worthy of being recognized as the hometown of Liang Kingdom so quickly.
There were three alchemy monks in front of me, two men and one woman.
There was only the middle-aged monk in the middle, who was in the late stage of pill formation, and Lu Changan felt a little familiar.
"I, Tuoba Jin, the Great Elder of Liuyun Sect..."
The middle-aged and elderly alchemy monk, with sharp eyes and a pale golden light, confirmed the authenticity of Lu Changan's identity.
boom!
Tuoba Jin's face was shaken. He sensed the abyss-like aura of mana on the visitor's body, and the probing secret technique was dispersed by the invisible power of the Nascent Soul.
His eyes were burning, as if he were looking directly into the blazing midday sun.
The three pill-forming monks couldn't help but groan, showing expressions of shock and disbelief.
Back then, Wugui Zhenren, a strange man in the world of casual cultivators, actually broke through his shackles and climbed to the top of the world of cultivators.
"I've met Mr. Lu Zhen!"
"Greetings to True Lord Evergreen!"
The three alchemy-forming monks Tuoba Jin were shocked and doubtful, and immediately bowed and saluted.
"Are you Tuoba Jin?"
Lu Changan's eyes fell on the middle-aged and elderly pill-forming monks.
The angular features and gray hair that have been rounded by the years can vaguely be traced back to the heroic appearance of the Liuyun Sect's genius who built a foundation and challenged the fake elixir in front of the Huanglong Immortal City.
"In the immortal world of Liang Kingdom, I should be the only one who has a pill-forming monk named Tuoba Jin."
Tuoba Jin noticed that Lu Zhenjun was paying attention and looking at him, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy.
He secretly wondered whether at some time in the past, he had unintentionally offended this Mr. Lu Zhenjun.
In his youth, he was very ambitious and arrogant, and offended many people.
The two were monks of the same generation and were of similar age.
It's just that the two sides started out completely different. Before forming the elixir, they were not on the same level and there was no communication at all.
Moreover, Tuoba Jin formed the elixir much earlier than Lu Changan.
"Haha, fellow Taoba Tuoba, don't be nervous. There is no grudge between you and me. It's just that Mr. Lu, as a casual cultivator in Huanglong Immortal City in his early years, watched the battle between Taoist Taoist Tuoba and the False Dan Master."
Lu Changan smiled warmly and pointed out the reason.
"If I can't bear the word 'pay my respects', Lu Zhenjun will break my heart."
Tuoba Jin secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said humbly.
Lu Changan had no friendship with Tuoba Jin, so he exchanged a few polite words and flew to the hinterland of Liang Kingdom.
…
"Fellow Taoba Tuoba..."
The other two alchemy cultivators had strange expressions on their faces as they looked at the giant Xuanshui turtle and the tall man in white who were going away.
Tuoba Jin was in a complicated mood. The little casual cultivator who had not been noticed by him in the early years had surpassed himself, the former genius, in hundreds of years of practice.
The Liuyun Sect where Tuoba Jin belonged was the second sect in the Liang Kingdom during the Lihuo Sect era. It was stronger than Jinyun Valley and once dominated the northern part of the Liang Kingdom.
However, due to the influence of the Feng Kingdom's Jinyang Sect's northward migration, the Liuyun Sect's resource territory in the north was subject to a certain amount of competition.
Later, in the Demonic War, Tuoba Jin was seriously injured in the battle in order to gain military exploits and exchange for materials for childbirth, resulting in damage to the Daoji.
In terms of fighting skills and ranking of military achievements, he was far inferior to Liang Shaotian and Zhang Tianfeng of that era.
Not to mention Zhang Tianfeng, who was once the number one pill-former in the Liang Kingdom, there were late-stage pill-formers and immortal golden elixirs in the Jinyang Sect who were stronger than him.
"I heard that this Mr. Lu, who was of mediocre quality and slow in cultivation, was able to successfully form a baby in the end?"
The female alchemy cultivator beside her had her pretty eyes twinkling, guessing some important opportunity.
"Perhaps just like True Lord Tianfeng, he has transformed elixirs into knots before. After all, in the surrounding immortal cultivation world for tens of thousands of years, there has never been any case of successful formation of infants through true elixirs in the middle and lower reaches."
"Zhenjun Tianfeng once admitted to transforming elixirs. Zhenjun Lu has a close relationship with that Zhenjun Zhang. I think he may have had similar experiences."
The three alchemy-forming monks were discussing the return of Lu Zhenjun, who had given birth to a baby. They couldn't hide their envy and felt a little sour in their hearts.
Without the guardians of the elders of Nascent Soul, the process of elixir formation is very risky. You have to ensure that the elixir formation can be successful next time, and you have to waste resources again.
When Lu Changan conceives a baby, there must be some unknown opportunity, such as [Yin Yang Water] and other spiritual creatures from heaven and earth.
However, those who can be promoted to Nascent Soul are almost always lucky.
Having reached the top of the world of immortality, some of their own secrets are no longer afraid of being known to others.
…
After crossing the border of Liang State, Lu Changan stopped no longer and no one stopped him.
Half a day later, Xuan Shui Turtle stepped on the ripples of water and approached Jinyun Valley.
"It is indeed a fourth-level spiritual vein. Lao Zhang should have a special method for cultivating spiritual veins. I'm afraid it may not be enough to rely solely on the support of the Wei Dao Alliance."
Lu Changan sensed from a distance that the mountainous area where Jinyun Valley is located is full of spiritual energy and vitality. The sect's luck is as strong as that of Yunxia Sect.
Jinyun Valley's foundation and history of founding the sect surpassed that of the Xuanyin Sect. When Lu Changan left, it was already a large-scale third-level top spiritual vein.
Two hundred miles apart.
On the fourth-level main peak of Jinyun Valley, there is a Nascent Soul-level golden escaping light. The light is bright, like a golden dragon soaring into the sky, and it is majestic.
"The Supreme Elder comes out of seclusion!"
But it was Zhang Tianfeng who sensed Lu Changan's arrival and took the initiative to greet him.
Lu Changan stroked the turtle's back with his hand, and the black water under the turtle's feet rippled rapidly, increasing its speed by a few points.
At the gate of Jinyun Valley, high-level masters and many disciples could not help but pay attention to the Xuanshui turtle approaching in the distance.
The seven-foot-wide dark green black turtle is like a floating hill, riding on the wind and waves, and surges with spiritual pressure like a stormy wave.
"The vehicle of the late third-order Xuan Shui Turtle!"
"What a grand display! Who is this master?"
The man in white clothes on the turtle's back is handsome and handsome, as gentle as jade, with a few strands of silver in his tied up black hair.
Facing the Yuanying Sect with the fourth-level spiritual veins, the man stood with his hands behind his hands, smiling slightly, looking handsome and handsome, with a noble demeanor that had gone through the vicissitudes of time.
"It's him! Oogway..."
"Master Changqing disappeared for nearly a hundred years, why... came back again?"
Some senior foundation-building and alchemy-forming monks from the Jinyun Sect immediately recognized the identity of the person.
These older monks had their eyes widened and expressions of astonishment. Some of them frowned or showed resentment.
These older monks have deep memories of Master Changqing in his early years.
Whenever the Liang Kingdom and the sect were in crisis, this person would disappear and run away for a period of time, euphemistically calling it "performing a special mission."
"Humph! After disappearing for nearly a hundred years, Master Changqing still has the nerve to come back."
"Let's see what else he has to say this time!"
"Now that Jinyun Valley is at its peak of glory, it is unprecedented. This person will definitely rely on his friendship with the Supreme Elder to return to the sect."
Several old alchemy cultivators sneered, communicated with each other, and flew out of the mountain gate together.
"Master, why are you back 'again'?"
A newly promoted foundation builder who didn't know what was going on was puzzled by the comments of his elders and humbly asked for advice.
…
It was a time of heated discussion among the sect.
Above the clouds, the mysterious water surges.
The legendary monk who received mixed reviews in the immortal world of Liang Kingdom made the Xuanshui giant turtle stop in the sky above the mountain gate.
Zhang Tianfeng, the Supreme Elder, stepped forward on the clouds to greet him, cupped his hands with a smile and said:
"It's great to congratulate Mr. Lu Zhen that he has returned to the Liang Kingdom. Zhang also just received information from the border of the Wei Dao Alliance..."
Zhang Tieshan's appearance has not changed much compared to the period when he was in the pill formation stage. His face is slightly darker. He is wearing a black robe and a coat. His figure is tall and straight, like a tall mountain, giving people a majestic and calm demeanor.
"Haha! Fellow Daoist Zhang managed the business well and promoted Jinyun Valley to a Nascent Soul power. Lu is honored to be the guest elder of Jinyun Valley!"
Lu Changan raised his hand and congratulated.
The monks from Jinyun Valley who paid attention to this scene couldn't help but be surprised.
Zhang Zhenjun, the Supreme Elder, held a courtesy ceremony with the returning Master Wu Gui and had a very pleasant conversation.
When that Guizhenren was trying to express his feelings, he shamelessly reached out and patted the Supreme Elder on the shoulder.
Um?
Several alchemy cultivators who came out felt Lu Changan's vague aura, their expressions changed drastically, their minds were shaken, and they looked as if they had seen a ghost.
Lu Changan came back on a turtle and did not deliberately hide his cultivation, but he did not need to use his own magic power to escape, so he did not disseminate Nascent Soul spiritual pressure in a high-profile way.
It is not difficult to identify the cultivation level of high-level monks who are slightly closer.
"I've met...I've met Mr. Lu Zhen."
Several aggrieved elders from Jiedan showed stiff smiles, and suppressed all the questioning remarks they had been brewing from the high moral point.
"Everyone, you are welcome and well."
Lu Changan remained calm and greeted these old and new faces familiarly.
He has been away for nearly a hundred years, and only part of the top Zhendan officials in the sect have been replaced.
The way those seniors formed pills, holding back their anger but had no choice but to give in, made Lu Changan feel happy and secretly amused.
These people don't know the gold content of the sect's lucky star, and they have paid silently for Jinyun Valley.
Lu Changan didn't bother to argue with them.
"May I ask Elder Lu, where have you been in the past hundred years?"
The person who spoke was an old man with a black beard, who was in the middle stage of alchemy formation, and couldn't help but ask.
This man's surname was Miao, and he was now the law enforcement elder of Jinyun Valley. Lu Changan had some impressions of him.
If Lu Changan is not the true king.
Elder Miao's original draft was to ask sarcastically, "May I ask Master Lu where he has carried out secret missions in the past hundred years?"
"It's a long story. At that time, Ben Zhenjun was just an ordinary alchemy monk who was not good at fighting. However, Zhenjun Wanhe and the Peacock Saint from the Beast King Valley were eyeing the Xuan Shui Turtle and the secret of beast control, and even used their inner
The ghost trapped and killed Mr. Lu.”
"At that time, the Beast King Valley was very powerful. In order not to drag down the Golden Cloud Valley, it was targeted in the demonic war and suffered greater pressure and losses. Lu had no choice but to flee the Guardian Alliance and find another opportunity to practice..."
"When Lu left, he informed fellow Taoist Zhang in advance."
Lu Changan paused and glanced at Zhang Tianfeng.
"It is indeed true. Fellow Daoist Lu's stay in the Weidao League at that time was indeed very dangerous, and was detrimental to him personally and to Jinyun Valley."
Zhang Tianfeng nodded and acknowledged.
Lu Changan successfully gave birth to a baby, proving the correctness of his strategy, leaving people speechless.
In the past ten thousand years of the Liang Kingdom, the only true king born from local non-Nascent Soul forces was Zhang Tianfeng.
And this was during a special period of war.
This shows how difficult it is for ordinary monks to reach the top of the world of immortality due to the solidification of resources and hierarchy.
"Later, Lu was lucky enough to conceive a baby. He was no longer afraid of the threats from the lineage of True Monarch Wanhe and the Peacock Saint. Naturally, it was time to return to the sect."
"This woman, Zhu Yuting, was once a traitor in Jinyun Valley. She was captured by this elder and handed over to the Law Enforcement Hall for disposal."
After Lu Changan finished speaking, he raised his hand and handed Zhu Yuting out from behind the tortoise.
"It is indeed the traitor and the devil's inner workings back then!"
Elder Miao stepped forward to confirm his identity and handed over his hand to Lu Changan to accuse him.
After hearing Lu Zhenjun's emotional explanation of the causes and consequences, the senior Jiedan executives present looked relieved.
In the early years, Changqing Zhenren made very rational choices, which not only saved himself, but also did not implicate the sect.
If we had stayed in Liang State, competition for resources and opportunities would be fierce, and we would have to face external crises, and we would not be able to achieve what we have today.
…
After Zhu Yuting was handed over to the Law Enforcement Hall, Lu Changan, accompanied by Zhang Tieshan, entered the mountain gate of Jinyun Valley.
After becoming a Nascent Soul force, the entire mountain gate of Jinyun Valley expanded in a circle.
The back mountain area where the Great Elder was originally located has become a fourth-level spiritual vein dojo.
The Big Sun Peak where Fellow Daoist Lu practiced in those days is still there, but it has become a cave for other elders.
"Why don't you see Tan'er?"
Lu Changan asked after scanning his consciousness.
Zhao Tan'er was Zhao Siyao's only female disciple during his lifetime, and she was also the bloodline fairy seedling of the Zhao family. She was always treated like a daughter.
Zhang Tianfeng replied: "Elder Zhao is performing the guarding mission of the Wei Dao League on the southeastern border of Liang Kingdom."
Lu Changan nodded and calculated silently.
The southeastern border of Liang Kingdom is in the direction of Wangyue Fairy City and Heng Kingdom.
Speaking of which, the "Wuye Town" that Jiang Yechen and Shi Xianzi established together as a gathering place for casual cultivators and refugees is also in that general area.
"There is an empty hilltop in the fourth-level spiritual vein area. Friend Lu, please wait for a few days, and the sect will open and transform the cave dojo according to your wishes."
"It doesn't matter."
Lu Changan followed Zhang Tianfeng to the latter's Tianfeng Mountain Dojo, which was transformed from the hinterland of the back mountain where the great elder of Jinyun Valley once lived.
The terrain of Tianfeng Mountain Dojo is not high, with mountains and lakes interdependent, and the scenery is beautiful.
In the cave, there are only one or two old servants and no maids or concubines.
Zhang Tieshan never had a Taoist partner from the time he practiced Qi to Nascent Soul. He has been practicing hard in solitude, running around looking for opportunities.
…
The two true kings sat down and drank tea and reminisced about the past.
Zhang Tianfeng did not explore the specific whereabouts of Lu Changan in the past hundred years.
The topic mainly revolves around the Demonic War and the current situation of the Guardian Alliance.
In addition to occupying most of the territory on the Guardian League's side, Beast King Valley has also captured as much territory as the Guardian League in the rear, and needs to digest and rectify those affiliated forces.
Within the Six Demonic Sects, during the invasion and occupation, there was a dispute over the division of territory resources in the Eastern Region.
The decades-long truce is due to various factors, including the partial influence of True Lord Lingyu and True Lord Aoki, the behind-the-scenes calculations of the ten Xuanmen sects, and the distribution of interests within the six demonic sects.
To sum up, the Six Demonic Sects invaded the Eastern Territory and achieved the basic strategy. They have taken root in this territory and made many forces affiliated.
Next, we need to slowly break into some hard bones, such as the Seven-Nation Alliance.
As for the three countries of the Wei Dao Alliance, Beast King Valley is just unwilling to pay too much price, otherwise it can be captured by force.
"Decades ago, the situation of the Guardian Alliance was in danger. The Beast King Valley proposed that the remaining three countries become tributaries. They only need to submit to the six demon sects and pay a certain proportion of resources every year. From then on, the two sides became the same camp and invaded other lands together."
When Lu Changan heard this, his heart skipped a beat.
If an agreement had been reached at that time, Liang's homeland would now be affiliated with the devil, and his situation would be in trouble.
The Valley of the Beast King currently does not have a shortage of territory. This proposal has a certain degree of sincerity and is also tempting to the Guardian Alliance.
"At that time, some senior leaders in the alliance were interested, but in the end they were sternly rejected by Alliance Leader Chu."
When Zhang Tianfeng said this, he couldn't help but pause.
Lu Changan was thoughtful, but Chu Tianfeng did not agree in the end. There might be secret support from Zhenjun Lingyu and the ten Xuanmen sects behind him.
"Later, both sides took a step back."
"The Wealth Alliance must agree to a trade agreement with the Beast King Valley. The two sides will set up some neutral trade zones to allow monks from the two sides to trade and do business. The agreement stipulates that the Wealth Alliance's immortal cultivation materials can only be traded with the Beast King Valley, otherwise it will be smuggling.
However, the Wei Dao Alliance is outflanked by the Beast King Valley, and there is no other channel except Liang Guo who can barely communicate with Feng Yuan Guo."
Hearing this, Lu Changan looked solemn and remained silent for a long time.
Although the Beast King Valley has ceased fighting, it has launched another invisible war without bloodshed.
Establishing an intermediate trading place will not only deprive them of economic benefits, but also the superiority of the demonic camp, rich inheritance resources...all kinds of soft power will also attract the monks of the Guardian Alliance.
After a hundred or two hundred years of this, the Beast King Valley will be able to subtly, slowly penetrate, and assimilate the Three Kingdoms Cultivation World.
If it corrodes again and bribes the higher-ups, it can even trigger a peaceful evolution in a shorter period of time, allowing the Weideo Alliance to collapse on its own.
Zhang Tianfeng was also silent.
Qi Ling's analysis believes that the Guardian Alliance will merge into the Demonic Path sooner or later. No matter whether it is obedient or confrontational, it will not be able to change the general trend of the times.
…
"If we only deal with the Beast King Valley, one of the demon sects, the strength of the Guardian Alliance does not seem to be that big of a difference. If another mid-stage Nascent Soul is born, can the situation be reversed?"
Lu Changan's eyes flashed slightly and he said hypothetically.
When he came back from the Great Abyss, he had seen or heard a lot of forces of the same level as the Beast King Valley, so he was not that afraid.
Zhang Tianfeng couldn't help but glance at Lu Changan and muttered:
"It's very difficult! The victory in the Valley of the Beast King is guaranteed. Cherish your feathers. In order to avoid too many losses, you never use all your strength to fight. Moreover, Wu Jian Sect's infiltration and secret assistance are impossible to avoid."
"If you want to reverse the situation, you must kill a mid-stage Nascent Soul from the Beast King Valley."
Kill the mid-stage Nascent Soul?
When Lu Changan heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head. This was really difficult.
Competing against the mid-stage Nascent Soul, defeating the mid-stage Nascent Soul, and killing the mid-stage Nascent Soul, these are three levels of difficulty.
The two dragons of the Central Realm, which are famous in the great abyss, failed to reach the third place back then. That was the domain of the Nascent Soul monks.
"And it is best to kill the Great Elder of Beast King Valley, one of the leaders of the Demon Sect, otherwise the situation may not be reversed. But in the entire Daqing, almost no one can do it."
Zhang Tianfeng shook his head and added.
"Leader of the Demon Sect? How is the Great Elder of the Beast King Valley's magical power?"
Before Lu Changan left Daqing, he only remembered that the former Nascent Soul Lord of Aoyue Palace died at the hands of the great elder of Beast King Valley.
"Decades ago, the famous 'True Lord Aoki' in the Eastern Region was ambushed by the Great Elder of the Beast King Valley and the Wujian Sect's Nascent Soul Stage. He was seriously injured and almost died."
"According to the information obtained from the ten sects of Xuanmen, the Great Elder of the Beast King Valley is almost immortal. This leader of the Demon Sect possesses a magical fourth-level silkworm. Although he is not good at direct combat, it has the effect of extending life and maintaining youth.
.Every hundred years or so, the mysterious celestial silkworm can give the host the ability to "resurrection" from a cocoon."
"Hundreds of years ago, the elder of the Beast King Valley was besieged and killed by many Nascent Soul Lords from the ten sects of Xuanmen. He paid a heavy price. His magic power was exhausted, and he was seriously injured and on the verge of death. As a result, the elder of the Beast King Valley 'resurrected' from a cocoon on the spot, and instantly
The injuries healed in a short time, and the peak mana state was restored, directly causing those Xuanmen True Lords who paid a heavy price to collapse on the spot..."
Zhang Tianfeng felt powerless when he mentioned this.
Lu Changan could imagine the desperate scene at that time. What a heavy price it would have to pay to kill a Nascent Soul in the middle stage. It could be said that they were running out of ammunition and food, and they were using all their means.
As a result, the target is directly full of health and mana, which is nothing!
"As expected of one of the leaders of the Demon Sect."
In Lu Changan's impression, the Great Elder of Beast King Valley is probably ranked among the top three among the six sects of the Demonic Path.
After learning more secrets of the Demon Sect, Lu Changan realized that it would be difficult for just one or two Nascent Soul monks to change the general trend of demonic invasion in the Eastern Region.
Unless it is a Nascent Soul monk who transcends the boundaries of a state and forces the six demon sects to surrender and withdraw from the most prosperous central region of Daqing.
Lu Changan's return to Daqing can only be said to be self-protective. He may be able to influence some areas, but he is still unable to dominate the pattern of the Eastern Region.
…
The two true gentlemen chatted until late at night.
Lu Changan then took his leave and stayed temporarily in the sect's guest room, waiting for the opening of the cave dojo.
"Tie Zi, that boy has a lot of good things on him. He seems to have the aura of a specialty from the sea area. This weapon spirit confirms that he should have rare materials for repairing spiritual treasures."
A voice with a milky voice but a mature tone sounded in Zhang Tianfeng's mind.
"Specialties from the sea area? Have you ever been overseas, or near the sea area?"
Zhang Tianfeng was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but be surprised.
Daqing is an inland region, and apart from its long heritage, it is difficult to find new sea specialties.
"If Fellow Daoist Lu dares to return to Daqing, his strength may be no less than that of 'Shenjun Qingmu', and he can compete with the mid-stage Nascent Soul. Zhang may not be able to come up with an item that makes him excited."
Zhang Tianfeng smiled bitterly, spread his palm, and took out a black and broken metal rod.
At first glance, it looks like a fire stick.
After hundreds of years of accumulation, Zhang Tianfeng allowed the original Lingbao fragment to absorb a large amount of gold and iron essence. Under the induction of the weapon spirit, he searched for and merged two Lingbao fragments in the Eastern Region of Daqing.
In addition, he used his superb weapon-refining skills to integrate and refine many fourth-level and above treasure materials, and then he gave birth to an incomplete spiritual treasure that was barely formed.
Nowadays, the quality of incomplete spiritual treasures is slightly better than that of ordinary top-grade magic treasures, and they have some of the magical properties of spiritual treasures; because of the dominance of the weapon spirit, the mana consumption is lower.
There is still a long way to go before the true spiritual treasure, but there are traces to follow.
Zhang Tianfeng was satisfied with this. After all, the owners of this weapon spirit for several generations were at least Nascent Soul monks and many of them were transformed into gods.
"Don't worry, Tiezi!"
Qi Ling said in a proud tone:
"That kid captured True Lord Black Feather's [Black Sky Wing] and wanted to transform it to suit himself and exert its true power. Generally, fourth-level weapon refiners can't do it, but this weapon spirit has a feasible plan. Moreover, True Lord Aoki and Lu Changan
We are both practitioners of Evergreen Gong and are enemies of each other, so there are many places where he needs to rely on you."
