The incarnations he has placed in the Dao Alliance are more than just the ones on the surface.
But because of this, a lot of doubts arose in my mind.
Lu Zhong could clearly see the scene when Guan Daozi reappeared and blocked the Phoenix Light Sword with his body. With the strength of Xuan Cang Fortress at that time, it was not impossible for him to resist.
Even the fallen immortals who once served as batteries were forced to ascend.
As a result, the intimidating power of Xuancang Fortress was greatly reduced.
However, there are also "hundred phases".
A lot of energy can be squeezed out by forcefully squeezing it, and the fortress may not suffer too much damage from Fengjian.
"Sure enough, my guess..."
Lu Zhong didn't think much about it.
No matter what the facts are, your own cultivation is the first priority.
After a long period of taking pills and refining Qi.
The cultivation level has been pushed up again and again, and now it is more than halfway. Coupled with the breakthrough of the time imitation law, it has accelerated the speed of elixir production, and the speed of cultivation may be even faster in the future.
"Within a thousand years, not even a thousand years."
Lu Zhong is confident that he can cultivate to the completion of the integration stage and enter the half-step of the Mahayana realm.
As for when the breakthrough will occur?
This is actually quite simple.
Just induce the fusion of breaths and cause thunder disaster.
Generally speaking, monks who attack Mahayana will be prepared, that is, they will try to break through the tribulation when the "opportunity" arrives.
If you feel you are strong enough, you can overcome the tribulation immediately.
Instead, Lu Zhong turned his attention to the ancient world of Void.
According to the on-site incarnation report, it is indeed a large mine of life energy. As a place where virtual world and reality are mixed, it will change every full moon night.
The reality is a peaceful place.
But once it transforms into the virtual world state, everything will become chaotic.
Xu is somewhere between reality and reality, at the intersection of massive amounts of information. The impurities here contain extremely high levels of natural energy. It can be said that every one of them is a rich ore.
Therefore, the pioneering fleet collected a large amount of life essence during the exploration process alone.
Correspondingly, there are huge casualties.
"I don't know if it's good news or bad news."
Lu Zhong thought expressionlessly.
It is good news because from now on, besides war, there will be a new way to consume excess monks, just like controlling the number of foundation-building pills. The role of Luofu Guards can be reduced, thereby controlling the difficulty of obtaining life essence.
, which continuously consumes the monks.
Eliminate the bad and retain the good, which in disguise increases the monk's chance of ascension.
As for the bad news.
Not for Lu Zhong, but for those casual cultivators, as well as families and sects that are in urgent need of life energy. If they want to advance to refine the void, or even attack to a higher level, the price they have to pay is far less.
Lower than expected.
It can be said that the joy is in vain.
However, Lu Zhong currently has no thoughts of consumption.
After all, in the near future, as the cross-border formation is built step by step, Luofu will need more and more monks, and it is far from the end.
Those worlds in the future will still need monks to open up and garrison them.
Bring your thoughts back.
"I don't know what role Ming Yuan plays in Mahayana monks?" Lu Zhong thought of Minglongzun and decided to reserve a batch for a rainy day.
If you can't spend the spiritual stone in your hand, it's better to use it on it.
...
Time passes, and a hundred years pass in the blink of an eye.
In the past hundred years, it has benefited from the development of the Void Ancient World.
Luofu's high-level monks are on the rise.
On important festivals, there will even be a grand scene of people refining themselves everywhere on the streets.
And this all stems from the unprecedented increase in life source supply.
Compared with individuals fighting alone, the mining operation led by Luofu Wei is undoubtedly more effective, and life essence can be continuously obtained and transported to Luofu Immortal City for sale.
"Director, the Dao League has requested to increase the share again."
In the General Affairs Department of Luofu, a monk hurriedly walked into the hall holding a gold book.
"No matter how many times I tell you, I always refuse!"
Director of General Affairs Luo You opened his mouth without giving any room for negotiation.
"But--"
"That's it."
Luo You had the power to act arbitrarily and waved the opponent to retreat.
'Oh, this kind of thing is becoming more and more frequent.'
With this thought in his mind, he couldn't help but think of the recent situation, and he didn't know what happened. Luofu and Daomeng, who had even kissed each other and were wearing the same pants, then successively conquered two immortal passes, and saw that the situation was very good.
Suddenly, friction began.
There is trouble at the border, and diplomatic rhetoric is full of gunpowder.
"Forget it, what does it have to do with me?"
Luo You was too lazy to worry about it. If the sky fell, he would be holding it up.
Instead of worrying about everything in the world here, it is better to think carefully about which concubine should be blessed tonight.
"You are having a good time!"
A figure quietly appeared behind Luo You.
Before Lu Zhong waited for the incarnation to reply, he handed out a jade slip.
"Go ahead."
"This is...new material again?"
Luo You took the jade slip and found that it mentioned a kind of spiritual material, which was similar to the previous request. The demand was huge, and hundreds of thousands of monks were inevitably mobilized.
"Still the same as before?"
"No, pay with life yuan."
Lu Zhongdan smiled.
"I understand."
Luo You also laughed.
The main intention of this move is obviously to target the Taoist League. From what he knows, the monks from the Taoist League have an advantage in refining the spiritual materials in the jade slips.
Using life element to lure someone is obviously a conspiracy.
"Just understand and execute it quickly."
Lu Zhong dropped these words and disappeared in an instant.
"It really comes and goes without a trace!"
Luo You looked envious of this master's space escape technique.
As an incarnation, he is more than a little different from Lu Zhong.
...
Back at Yujingtian, Lu Zhong's face was not calm.
After noticing the strangeness of the Dao Alliance, he, who was always cautious, quickly used the gray fog space to make tentative deductions about the Dao Alliance.
The truth emerged as a result.
"Ye Panyan was taken away? Not even Guan Daozi could stop him. This person is still the former Cardinal of the Dao League... Zhuang Shengdie!"
Lu Zhong, who knew the news at that time, was in a very complicated mood.
He did not expect that Ye Panyan would end up like this.
Although, there is still hope of recovery.
But not to mention the difficulty, the possibility is still very slim.
"How could this be?"
Until now, Lu Zhong is still feeling uneasy.
"No wonder before I attacked Haoxian Pass, there was no news from the Dao Alliance. Maybe Ye Panyan would have already..."
"No matter what, Xuancang Fortress has become a threat."
Fortunately, two of the three "batteries" were removed, leaving only the "hundred phase", and the power of the five elements destroying divine light was far less than before.
Although it can also kill immortals, it is against a fixed target.
Just like the fallen immortal who was bound to the earth at that time.
If it were a movable Luofu, its deterrence would be greatly reduced.
Recalling that the person who took the body was the former Cardinal of the Dao Alliance, Lu Zhong gave up the idea of entering the Luofu Fortress and using the Heavenly Dao Killing Sword to seize control.
So as not to lose more than you gain.
"It's better to delay."
After thinking about it, Lu Zhong only came up with this solution.
The enemy is in the light and we are in the dark.
The opponent could calculate Guan Daozi, but he couldn't calculate his gray mist space. Even if he had some guesses, he would never guess that it was this thing.
Besides, if Zhuang Shengdie can really calculate everything, then his struggle is useless.
But Lu Zhong didn't think that the other party could do this.
If we can, the way of heaven will not collapse.
It's the Heavenly Killing Sword.
"Zhuang Shengdie may have guessed it. After all, I have sacrificed it more than once or twice. If he can control the fairy spirit, he can know this directly."
If we start from this point, it is not difficult to draw a conclusion.
"The other party is also waiting for the opportunity!"
Lu Zhong thought of this and finally saw the fog clearly.
"Looks like it's a race."
Whichever party reaches Mahayana first will be able to take the initiative.
...
Another half a century passed.
On this day, the Jade Capital sky was filled with strange fragrance.
But it was Lu Zhong who took the time to refine the Ten Thousand Years Flat Peach, remove the methods the Fallen Immortal used to hide it, and refine it into a "Flat Peach Pill".
The effect of this elixir is no longer to prolong life.
But to heal the injury.
The purpose of Lu Zhong doing this was to prepare for the Mahayana tribulation.
After making it, he was as careful as ever and tested the elixir until he was sure there was no problem before putting it into the jade bottle.
As an alchemist, I still have this bit of confidence.
After doing this, Lu Zhong continued to retreat.
But as soon as he entered concentration, a golden light flew in from outside the hall.
It’s about the ancient world of void.
"It is suspected that Void Immortal Gold has been discovered?"
He was surprised and wondered how this thing could appear.
However, it is not impossible.
According to the information mentioned in the Dao Alliance books, fairy gold is the main material for forging fairy treasures, but it does not necessarily only appear in the fairy world, but the probability of appearing in other places is low.
And fairy gold, if you can really get it.
Even if it is simply integrated into one's own magical power, it can be extremely effective.
Void Immortal Gold is something that contains the laws of space.
If it is integrated into the Star Mirror, this treasure will inevitably undergo some changes.
“It’s necessary to take a look!”
Lu Zhong looked thoughtful and made a decision in his heart.
...
Not long after, a ray of light flashed into the candle ring.
As soon as he entered, Lu Zhong's body surface was filled with light, and a layer of colorful light film quickly formed. This was a void barrier to prevent himself from being exposed.
After passing through the dark passage, the front suddenly opened up.
The environment of the ancient world of Void is far more magnificent than described. Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you understand it.
However, Lu Zhong has no intention of enjoying the scenery now.
Just now, as soon as he arrived, Luofu Guard came to report.
The pioneering fleet that discovered Immortal Gold was attacked by an unknown source.
In the picture coming from the front, there were star-blue floating lights and shadows all over the sky. It was these objects of unknown origin that launched a crazy attack on the pioneering fleet.
See the matter is urgent.
Lu Zhong determined the location and disappeared on the spot.
As soon as it appeared, a star-blue beam of light fell down.
When it falls on the body surface, most of the void shield is instantly eliminated.
This time, Lu Zhong was shocked.
Those light and shadow methods are so powerful that they can even affect his protective shield. No wonder the pioneering fleet has no power to fight back.
What was even more troublesome was that he found that his conventional methods were ineffective against these lights and shadows.
Only by cutting space can the light and shadow be dispersed.
After a lot of effort, Lu Zhong was able to disperse these strange lights and shadows.
Later, when he got to the ship, he met the person in charge here, Lan Cai'er, a monk who was born in the Transformation of God Sect and had practiced step by step to the early stage of integration on his own.
At this moment, his condition was not good, but he still endured his injuries and saluted:
"Thank you City Lord for your help!"
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Lu Zhong is still confused about the appearance of Void Immortal Gold and the extremely difficult group of star-blue lights and shadows to deal with.
"I guess... it has something to do with it."
Lan Cai'er took out a luminous object from the storage ring.
It can be vaguely seen that it was once a part of a certain building, and for unknown reasons, it finally appeared in the ancient world of void.
The more Lu Zhong looked at this thing, the more familiar it became.
A bold guess came to mind.
Later, the scene review also confirmed this guess.
The debris of the luminous building in front of me, and the Void Immortal Gold, appeared at the exact time of the disaster in the sky some time ago, that is, when the dregs came.
"According to this, both things come from the fairy world."
This conclusion made Lu Zhong curious.
What happened in the fairy world?
Due to the lack of clues at hand, Lu Zhong was puzzled and had no choice but to give up and start recovering the Void Immortal Gold.
With him, a monk who is proficient in the laws of space, is here.
Soon, the existence principle of star blue light and shadow was completely understood.
It's not incomprehensible weirdness, it involves phase shift.
Those star-blue lights and shadows are not living creatures.
According to Lu Zhong's understanding, the abnormal phenomenon caused by the overflow of the Void Immortal Gold's own power is just like being burned when touching a flame.
However, if you get close to the Void Immortal Gold, the "burns" you will suffer will be more serious.
Once you figure it out, the solution is simple.
Lu Zhong detained the space and directly shrank the surroundings of the Void Immortal Gold into a small ball.
In this way, you can get the immortal gold.
The monks who opened up the fleet were envious of Lu Zhong's methods, but they also lamented the astonishing strength of the Lord of Luofu City and his deep understanding of the laws of imitation.
...
Return to the candle ring and return to Yujingtian.
Lu Zhong suppressed the excitement in his heart and immediately took out the Void Immortal Gold he had obtained and tried to refine it for his own use.
The results speak for themselves.
No matter whether it was spiritual flames or mana, there was no reaction at all.
Only by stimulating the power of space pseudo-laws can this fist-sized piece of void fairy gold react lazily.
But it's just a little bit, not enough to refine.
"From this perspective, Immortal Gold is indeed a collection of laws that manifests itself in the world."
"What about this?"
A thought came to Lu Zhong's mind and he entered the gray mist space.
Can it be simulated?
Surprised in his heart, he put his thoughts into action, took out the Star Spell, and placed it together with the Void Immortal Gold.
When the two come into contact, they become one instantly.
But at the same time, Lu Zhong also lost this magical opportunity.
"Is it covered?"
The good news is that the fusion of Immortal Machine and Void Immortal Gold is effortless.
The bad news is that the fused Immortal Machine is not considered an Immortal Treasure and needs to be re-refined before it can be used for your own use.
And this takes a lot of time.
After exiting the gray mist space, Lu Zhong looked at the void fairy gold in his hand with both love and hatred.
"That's all, let's wait until Mahayana."
Merging into Mahayana is another big leap.
When he reaches the Mahayana stage and has strength comparable to that of a half-immortal, perhaps an unexpected turn of events will occur when refining this piece of immortal gold.
But before that, one must first achieve a breakthrough in cultivation.
