Chapter 436 Famous in the Eastern Region, on the eve of the decisive battle
Chapter 437 Famous in the Eastern Region, on the eve of the decisive battle
When Lu Changan returned to the important frontline town, the siege demon army led by Fang Zhenjun had already withdrawn in an orderly manner for dozens of miles.
Obviously, Fang Zhenjun learned the information about Yuanliu City and did not dare to fight anymore.
"Lucky Lord Lu Zhen, you have lived up to your destiny."
Several alchemy monks responsible for guarding the city came to return to their duties and returned the previous puppets to Lu Changan.
After losing the fourth-level beast king, the demonic army led by a Yuanying monk alone failed to break through the important frontline town in a short period of time.
"Well done, I will take credit for you."
Lu Changan put away a few slightly damaged puppets, didn't care, and asked with a smile:
"How effective is the puppet defense of the city?"
"Back to Zhenjun, the third-level puppet is very useful for defending the city. Although it consumes a lot of spiritual stones, it can effectively reduce casualties."
"It's a pity that such high-level puppets are too rare, and they were even more expensive during the war."
Several real people who formed the pill were very satisfied with the effect of the third-level puppet.
Non-puppet masters cannot exert the full power of puppets, especially in high-mobility, complex and chaotic fights.
But the defensive battle is different. The puppet material is relatively strong and has no fear, which can reduce the loss of the Guardian Alliance monks.
"Turn back, I'm going to ask Alliance Leader Chu to try to acquire more second- and third-level puppets from the two sects."
Lu Changan nodded and smiled, setting the stage first.
During the war, the prices of various war preparation materials will increase significantly, such as puppets, talismans, and magic weapons.
Lu Changan plans to refine a large number of second- and third-level puppets or talismans, and secretly trade with leader Chu to exchange for military merit.
Among them, refining the puppet is more time-consuming, but with the assistance of Master Wei, he is responsible for most of the creation steps.
Lu Changan only needs to attack the core components, which requires a real puppet master to use the secret technique of the soul.
In this way, Lu Changan can not only make a war fortune, but also consolidate his immortal cultivation skills, and also reduce the battlefield casualties of the monks of the Wei Dao Alliance.
It can be described as killing three birds with one stone.
At the level of Nascent Soul stage, it is relatively normal to display two third-level skills.
What is really difficult to break through is the fourth level skill.
Lu Changan possesses three fourth-level skills and can refine second- and third-level puppets and talismans at his fingertips with high efficiency.
…
On the clouds dozens of miles away.
Fang Zhenjun's Yuan Ying's mana was emitted to prevent Lu Chang'an from the important town from taking advantage of the situation to pursue him with Di Yanjun.
Fortunately, Lu Changan did not do this.
Fang Zhenjun did not regret his previous decision to let Lu Changan go.
The bad news of the battle in Yuanliu City further improved his evaluation of Lu Changan's strength.
There is no need for such a difficult character to have a big feud.
The force that will rule this land in the future is Beast King Valley, not the Underworld Sect.
As a reinforcement, he has no direct interest relationship with Lu Changan and the Wei Dao Alliance.
Lu Changan had no expression on his face, watching the evacuation of the demonic army led by Fang Zhenjun.
"It is not appropriate to attack Fang Zhenjun at the moment, otherwise, regardless of success or failure, it may attract the attention of the leader of the Demon Sect, the Demon Lord of the Styx."
Lu Changan also had concerns about Fang Zhenjun.
As a disciple of the first leader of the Demon Sect, and a person suspected of being reincarnated, the other party must have good means of self-protection.
According to the available information and divination calculations, the Great Elder of the Mingquan Sect is one of the greatest threats to him in the Eastern Region.
It is said that during the defeat of the demons in the Central Territory that year, the Styx Demon Lord used the sect's treasure and the second Nascent Soul to contain the Nascent Soul monk and resisted for a long time.
…
Return to the cave in the city.
Lu Changan set up a formation, placed many restrictions, and then took out the Black Feather True Monarch Nascent Soul from the sealed jade box.
The baby-like man in black robe is weak, deeply poisoned, with frost condensing on the surface, and is sealed by the forbidden talisman.
"Lu Wugui! Unfortunately, I fell into your hands, and I will never reveal any information."
True Monarch Black Feather's Yuanying gritted his teeth and spoke forcefully, struggling in Lu Changan's hands.
He still had the option of destroying his soul at this moment.
However, the complete Yuanying spirit body is far from dead end and has many possibilities of life.
For example, if the situation in the Demonic War changes in the future, Beast King Valley may redeem him.
For the first time, the Weidao Alliance captured a demon soul alive, probably as a bargaining chip.
Even if Lu Changan falls in the Demonic War in the future, it is not impossible for him to be rescued directly.
"hehe."
Lu Changan was too lazy to talk nonsense. He squeezed the weak Nascent Soul of True Lord Black Feather tightly and contacted the [Nine Seal Monument] in his mind.
Buzz!
The mysterious ancient stele lit up with a grayish white light, and along Lu Changan's conscious arm, Black Feather's Nascent Soul was enveloped and rolled up.
"No! This is-"
The Nascent Soul of True Monarch Black Feather suddenly felt a great sense of terror and became speechless in horror. It was sucked into the Nine Seal Monument by the irresistible force of the rules of reincarnation and turned into particles in an instant.
"Eight and a half percent!"
At the last moment before his consciousness was annihilated, True Lord Black Feather faintly heard Lu Changan's whisper.
Lu Changan's consciousness entered the [Nine-Seal Monument].
Within the frame seal of the fifth life, the illuminated area was indeed 10% larger.
Now, there is only one and a half percent left to completely light up the fifth life.
The fifth generation of the Jiuyin Monument corresponds to the divine transformation period.
Devouring a god-transforming heavenly king or ten Yuanying spirit bodies can completely light up the light.
Lu Changan was looking forward to it. After devouring the first Nascent Soul spirit body "Master Lihuo", he unlocked the secret of the basic functions of the Jiuyin Monument, the three independent abilities of reincarnation.
If the fifth life is lit up, will there be new abilities?
…
In the next period of time, Lu Changan began to sort out the vast and fragmented memories of True Monarch Black Feather.
In the sea of consciousness of True Lord Black Feather, there are restrictions on the core inherited secrets of the Beast King Valley. There are no realms far beyond the level, and it is difficult to search for souls to obtain them.
However, after being swallowed by the Nine-Seal Monument, all the inheritance of various techniques and the secrets of the sect will be revealed at a glance.
It just takes time to sort through the complex memory fragments.
Because there was no way to transform into reincarnation, Lu Changan only read the memory as a third party.
Therefore, it is impossible to completely light up the fourth life like Master Lihuo did back then, transform it into his own previous reincarnation, and inherit the other party's skills and magical powers, as well as all kinds of cultivation skills.
Even so, the memory knowledge gained by Lu Changan is quite valuable.
The first is a set of beast-control inheritance in the Valley of the Beast King, including some untransmitted secrets.
Lu Changan will not switch to the beast control school, but this knowledge will help him better cultivate Xuan Shui Turtle and Earth Rock Lord, and train their skills and talents.
The Beast King Valley has been inherited for more than ten thousand years. It was a small branch of the top beast-controlling sect in Zhongzhou a long time ago. The related beast-controlling inheritance is close to the top even if you look at Tianheng Continent.
In my memory, there are still some secrets of the Beast King Valley, as well as the strategic layout of the demonic battlefield.
However, Beast King Valley should be wary of soul searching and torture, and the strategic layout may be adjusted accordingly.
It's a little regrettable that Heiyu is not the core elder of the Beast King Valley, and he definitely doesn't know as many secrets as Elder Wanhe.
In my memory, I also have a deeper understanding of [Black Sky Wings], including the secret technique of controlling spirits by integrating the winged magic weapon with the monk's bloodline.
However, Lu Changan does not have the special bloodline of True Monarch Black Feather, so it is difficult to replicate this, and besides, he does not want to be a birdman.
…
After the soul of True Monarch Black Feather died, the sect's Ten Thousand Souls Hall reacted, and the Beast King Valley received the news immediately.
The top brass of Beast King Valley were filled with grief, anger, and anger, which was somewhat unexpected.
I originally thought that Lu Changan would use this as a bargaining chip to pull off Nascent Soul for a while when he captured True Monarch Black Feather.
Even searching for souls and interrogating them will take time.
During the half month that Lu Changan was sorting out his memories, he also sent people to deliver letters and communicated with the leader of the Chu alliance on the main battlefield of the Feng Kingdom.
Although emergency messages can be sent between the Nascent Soul monks guarding adjacent areas, they are all simple messages such as warnings and requests for help.
Detailed and comprehensive information still needs to be delivered by scouts.
Lord Black Feather died so quickly.
The explanation given by Lu Changan was: True Monarch Black Feather's bones were very hard, and he died of his soul collapse during the torture.
The reason is simple, it just makes sense, and it doesn’t need to be too rigorous.
Lu Changan is not worried about the secrets of the [Nine-Seal Monument] being exposed. The evil cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation have too many soul-refining methods, including the evil method of devouring and using the Nascent Soul.
The monk's Nascent Soul is a great tonic for both humans and monsters.
A few days ago.
In the frontline area corresponding to the Beast King Valley, a young and strong Nascent Soul monk was transferred to take the place of True Monarch Black Feather.
Not only that, Lu Changan's guarding area, as well as the adjacent front lines, the fourth-level beast kings and older high-level battle beasts were also transferred.
Lu Changan felt a little regretful about this and lost the opportunity to bully the elderly.
In the battle that day, he captured the Black Feather Nascent Soul and killed the body of Elder Wanhe. Lu Changan became famous.
Its reputation is not limited to the Guardian League and the Demonic Battlefield.
Soon, his fame will be spread throughout the Eastern Region.
Even the forces in the Central Daqing Region and even several other regions will know the name of True Lord Evergreen.
In the three countries of the Wei Dao Alliance, no monk dares to doubt that Lu Changan is the second-ranked leader after Chu Tianfeng.
At the same time, the outside world's evaluation of Diyanjun and Xia Xianzi has also been improved.
After all, the two played a big role in being able to capture True Monarch Black Feather alive in the battle that day.
There are rumors that Lu Changqing is suspected of entering an ancient cave or a secret realm and obtaining a chance treasure.
Otherwise, the magic weapons on Diyan Lord and Xia Xianzi are too powerful and have not been seen in the surrounding area. It seems that they were obtained out of thin air.
There are also rumors that the Evergreen True Monarch may be a powerful person who can seize the body and rebuild it. Otherwise, how could such a low qualification grow to this point as a casual cultivator.
Lu Changan laughed off the above rumors and didn't care much.
At his current level, the so-called chance secrets exposed to the outside world do not need to worry about the greed of the outside world.
…
Half a month later.
After preliminary sorting out the memories of True Monarch Black Feather, Lu Changan was ready to leave and return to the helm of the Guardian Alliance.
Nowadays, the guarding pressure on the battlefield area adjacent to Lu Changan and Xia Xianzi has been greatly reduced.
After the fourth-level beast kings and high-level war beasts in the Beast King Valley withdrew, they gave up the siege of this area for a short period of time.
Only small-scale frictions and games between scouts are left to keep the flow of information flowing.
Even so, Lu Changan and Xia Xianzi also checked and balanced the three true kings of the Beast King Valley camp.
The main battlefield of the Beast King Valley was moved to the southern part of Feng Kingdom.
The leader of the Chu Alliance in the middle stage of Nascent Soul and the leader of the Beast King Gu Meng are both on that front.
The Beast King Valley has lost the combat power of the two Nascent Souls in a short period of time, and they no longer have any advantage in terms of top-end combat power. Even if the True Lord of the Nascent Souls of the Wei Dao Alliance mobilizes to fight in the field, they will not necessarily fall behind.
In terms of top-end combat power, the only advantage of Beast King Valley may be that there are one more mid-stage Nascent Souls.
According to intelligence reports, the Beast King Valley has withdrawn a small number of elite monks who assisted the Seven Nations Alliance, as well as the Beast King War Beast. At the same time, more reinforcements from the rear areas have begun to be gathered.
Against such a backdrop, Lu Changan felt relieved to return to the helm of the Wei Dao Alliance.
Lord Diyan is in charge of the important frontline town, and there are still a few third-level puppets left behind.
The chief helmsman of the Wei Dao Alliance is not too far away from the front line. With the Yuanying monk's escape speed, it won't take much time.
As soon as they arrived at the mountain city formation where the Wei Dao Alliance was located, Yin Yuanhai, who was sitting at the helm, took the initiative to greet them.
"Congratulations to Mr. Lu Zhen for capturing and defeating two demon souls, turning the tide of the battle, and accomplishing a great feat. My master is full of praise, and Yin is also sincerely convinced and has great admiration."
"Yin wished he could have fought side by side with Lu Zhenjun..."
When we met this time, Yin Yuanhai was much more enthusiastic and his words were full of compliments.
Lu Changan smiled half-heartedly, but did not reveal the insincerity of Yin Yuanhai's words.
Before that battle, Yin Yuanhai asked for orders many times and finally left Lu Changan, not wanting to be dispatched by the latter.
But he never thought that not long after he left, Lu Changan would make such a great contribution.
Jin Yue Zhenjun and Xia Xianzi of Aoyue Palace both shared the merits of the war.
Yin Yuanhai was inevitably a little depressed about this.
As a newly promoted Nascent Soul monk who has been promoted for less than a century, he is in the stage of accumulating resources and is in urgent need of opportunities for military exploits.
"Lu Zhenjun, please invite me. The chief helmsman has completed the calculation of your military exploits."
The smile on Yin Yuanhai's face remained unchanged as he accompanied Lu Changan into Zongduo Mountain City.
"Greetings to Mr. Lu Zhen."
"Congratulations to Mr. Lu Zhen for killing the Demonic Nascent Soul."
The monks near the chief helm took the initiative to congratulate Lu Changan. Many monks showed their sincere admiration in their eyes.
After this battle, Lu Zhenjun had high prestige in several countries of the Wei Dao Alliance, and he was the leader in the early stage of Nascent Soul.
Seeing this scene in his eyes, Yin Yuanhai felt complicated.
Thinking back to the first time I met Lu Changan and offered to have a discussion, it was such a joke.
Yin Yuan saw a sad fact clearly: Not only was he no match for Lu Changan in fighting skills, he also couldn't defeat the other's women and spiritual pets.
In the sparring and gambling battle that day, Mr. Diyan did not use any magic weapon, obviously he did not try his best.
…
After entering the helm of the Wei Dao Alliance, Lu Changan gained a huge amount of military exploits, which he could exchange for treasure resources.
This amount of military exploits was so huge that it was reviewed and confirmed by Alliance Leader Chu, True Lord Liuyang and many other elders of the Guardian Alliance.
The treasure trove for redemption of war merits is provided by the sects of the Wei Dao Alliance, the Immortal Cultivation Families, Immortal Cultivation Fangcities... large and small Immortal Cultivation Forces.
For monks below the Nascent Soul, this is a coveted place, where there are many opportunities to form elixirs and even some of the spiritual materials for forming infants.
However, at Lu Changan's level, there are not many treasure resources that can be seen in the treasure house.
The proportion of fourth-level materials in the treasure house is very small.
Lu Changan squandered his military exploits to exchange for the required fourth-level treasures and weapon refining materials.
Most of the weapon refining materials are the same as the puppet materials, so there is no need to worry about revealing the identity of the fourth-level puppet refining master.
In addition, Lu Changan also exchanged a large number of second- and third-level talismans and puppet materials.
Using this batch of talismans and materials, you can also get a war material in the magic war.
After coming out of the treasury, Lu Changan still had one piece of military exploits left.
"Lu Zhenjun, my master has informed me that if it is a precious material that is not in the treasure house, he will coordinate the Yuanying monks in the alliance to satisfy Lu Zhenjun as much as possible."
"Okay, this jade slip contains a list of materials required by Lu."
Lu Changan had already prepared and handed over a jade slip.
He had mentioned this request to Alliance Leader Chu before in his letter.
Daqing's supplies were not as good as those of Dayuan, and Lu Changan did not propose too many materials and treasures.
In addition to the need to build a fourth-level puppet array in the future, Lu Changan also wants to refine and repair the [Five Birds Poison Fire Fan] obtained from "Shen Laoxie".
Shen Laoxie asked someone to refine this fan, and copied it from the drawings of the Lingbao [Five Birds Poison Fire Fan], hoping to create a top-quality magic weapon.
Due to the difficulty of refining it, which is beyond the normal level of a top-quality magic weapon, the final creation was unsuccessful, with slight flaws, and was worse than expected.
This fan suited Lu Changan's taste and was very suitable for wood-based skills, so he planned to repair it.
[Five Birds Poison Fire Fan] In addition to the magical power of poisonous fire, it also hides three feathered poison needles.
If it can be successfully repaired and refined, and paired with Elder Wanhe's three higher quality [Flying Feather Needles], it will become a vicious magic weapon with comprehensive functions.
In addition, this kind of repair and refining is also a valuable experience.
Lu Changan didn't dare to hope to create a true spiritual treasure.
In the future, if you advance to the mid-to-late stage of Nascent Soul, if conditions permit, you may try to create a fake Lingbao [Five Birds Poison Fire Fan].
…
Lu Changan only stayed at the main helm for half a day, and after exchanging a large amount of resources, he returned to the important frontline town.
In the frontline area where Lu Changan and Xia Xianzi were responsible, Beast King Valley basically gave up large-scale attacks.
On other battlefields and front lines, the battle to cultivate immortality was not as intense as imagined.
The main reason is that the Beast King Valley has lost the top combat power of the two Nascent Soul stages, and they no longer have the ability to crush them.
The Valley of the Beast King initially did not want to start a full-scale war, but under the push of an invisible hand, it fell deeper and deeper into the quagmire of war.
"In the next few years, we may fall into a war phase of stalemate and consumption."
Lu Changan has an insight into the future situation based on existing intelligence and divination techniques.
As expected.
In the following three or four years, the Demonic War reached a stalemate, with both sides investing a large amount of "consumables" intermittently.
The Wei Dao League mainly focused on defense, with occasional surprise attacks, and only lost some strongholds and a few fairy cities.
As the attacker, Beast King Valley suffered greater losses. At first, there were a lot of casualties among the war beast pets, and later on the human monks also suffered a lot of casualties.
Two years ago, Lu Changan launched a surprise attack and reached the frontal battlefield in the southern part of the Feng Kingdom. He used the [Destruction Divine Light] to kill a fourth-level beast king again.
Sect Leader Meng of the Beast King Valley was furious and wanted to chase Lu Changan on the spot, but was blocked by Chu Tianfeng.
At the same time, in the past few years, some second- and third-level puppets have appeared one after another in the Immortal City, the important town of the Wei Dao Alliance, and the number far exceeds that of previous Immortal Cultivation Wars.
Among them, Zhang Zhenjun of Jinyun Valley even used a quasi-fourth-level war puppet to defuse a surprise attack in the Beast King Valley where more people defeated fewer people.
This batch of mid-to-high-level puppets allowed the Guardian Alliance to avoid many casualties among monks.
Rumors came from the Wei Dao League that it was Alliance Leader Chu who secretly sent people to the realm of the two sects and successively created a batch of second- and third-level puppets.
There is also news that this matter is related to Lu Zhenjun.
The Beast King Valley asked Wujianmen to investigate the channels for obtaining the puppets, and even intercepted them on the way to the land of the two religions, but there was no clear information.
In a few years, Lu Changan made a fortune from the war and made a lot of money.
Through the exchange of military merits, he obtained a batch of required fourth-level treasure materials, including precious materials for repairing the [Five Birds Poison Fire Fan].
Just last year, Lu Changan asked Zhang Tianfeng to repair and upgrade the [Five Birds Poison Fire Fan] secretly.
Lu Changan took the opportunity to sell the stolen goods to Zhang Tianfeng and took out some unused magic weapons and precious materials.
Zhang Tieshan was not surprised at all, and became more and more taboo about Lu Changan's hidden strength.
Judging from some of the stolen loot, it is estimated that the number of Nascent Souls who died in Lu Changan's hands was not less than several, which is much more terrifying than outsiders expected.
Zhang Tianfeng needs to absorb the magic weapon to repair the residual spirit treasure, and the gold and iron essence in the precious mine. He will not reject any suitable magic weapon material.
…
Unknowingly, Lu Changan, who was guarding the front line of the battlefield, was already 435 years old.
This war of cultivating immortals, led and provoked by him, has finally entered a critical stage of decisive battle.
Inside the important town cave.
Lu Changan sat cross-legged, cultivating the successfully repaired [Five Birds Poison Fire Fan].
This is a simple black feather fan, with five feathers as the main body, shining with strange lights of cyan, green, blue, purple and red.
The three [Flying Feather Needles] obtained from Elder Wan He were re-refined, smeared with fourth-level mixed giant poison, and hidden in the mechanism inside the Poison Fire Fan.
"Uncle Lu! Accurate information has come from the frontal battlefield in the southern part of the Feng Kingdom. The great elder of the Beast King Valley has appeared."
A beautiful woman in a green skirt with a graceful figure in the late stage of elixir formation, holding a token, entered the True Lord's Cave.
The person who came was none other than Zhao Tan'er.
"Well, I already know."
Lu Changan came out of seclusion and met his former friend's only disciple.
With Zhao Tan'er's qualifications, he suffered a bit in the late stage of pill formation back then. Later, he was promoted to the late stage after receiving the level-breaking elixirs and spiritual objects given by Lu Changan.
A few years ago, Lu Changan used his authority in the Wei Dao League to transfer Zhao Tan'er to the frontline area where he was guarding.
In this way, she can take care of her old friend's disciples and gain some military exploits by the way.
The battlefield area that Lu Changan was responsible for was relatively safer, allowing the Beast King Valley to give up the army attack.
Many people with connections at the top of the Wei Dao League are eager to let their disciples and descendants come to the area guarded by Lu Zhenjun.
"Judging from past experience, the great elder of the Beast King Valley is lazy in sect management and rarely participates in the fighting in the demonic war. Once this person appears on the battlefield, there will be big moves in the Beast King Valley, and even a decisive battle."
Lu Changan came to the city wall of the important town and looked at the border area where the Beast King Valley was located.
Today, his fourth-level divination produced subtle heavenly secrets.
The three Demonic Nascent Souls of Fang Zhenjun, who had been balancing against them for many years, had just left the frontline battlefield one after another.
Not only that, other demonic monks who had built foundations and formed pills were also evacuating in large numbers.
It seems that they are preparing to move to the main battlefield in the southern part of Feng Kingdom.
Before that, he received a message from the leader of the Chu alliance and was ready to assist the main battlefield.
If Fang Zhenjun and the other three leave, he and Fairy Xia need to act according to the circumstances.
…
Lu Changan flew out of the important frontline town to explore the truth and reality.
At the same time, he summoned Fairy Xia to get ready.
If the situation is not right, we must help the Fengguo main battlefield together.
If the main battlefield collapses, the other fronts will be unable to recover.
Lu Changan was about to meet Xia Xianzi.
Boom~
In the border area of the Beast King Valley, a huge and powerful aura of Nascent Soul mana surges.
The powerful spiritual pressure far exceeds all the Nascent Soul monks encountered on the battlefield before.
Lu Changan's mind shivered and he felt invisible oppression.
The aura of the Nascent Soul was so profound that it even surpassed the old monster Jin Kun that he encountered in the Great Abyss.
"Little friend Lu, where are you going? Why don't you stay here today and chat with me?"
There was a muffled thunder in the clouds in the distance, and an old man with a round face and a fair face like a Buddha appeared, looking at Lu Changan with a smile.
