Chapter 248 Daqing East Region
The majestic man in front of him is none other than Chu Tianfeng, who can be called the number one cultivator in the surrounding Immortal Cultivation Kingdom.
"Throughout hundreds of years, Chu has always kept his word."
Chu Tianfeng's voice was clear, the clouds were light and the wind was gentle, and he had a kind of arrogance that was beyond the world.
"On the day of the gambling battle, Mr. Chu confirmed that many Nascent Souls from the Feng Kingdom and Chen Kingdom were at the mountain gate, and summoned them in advance. Chu can guarantee that none of them interfered in the gambling battle!"
"Is this true? The attacker is clearly a Nascent Soul Lord!"
Master Lihuo agreed to the gambling battle because Chu Tianfeng's past reputation showed that Chu Tianfeng did what he said.
Chu Tianfeng's strength was superior to that of his surroundings. When he first entered the middle stage of Nascent Soul, he was able to defeat the combined efforts of the two major Nascent Souls of the Jinyang Sect.
Over the years, its strength may have grown to a higher level.
Master Li Huo was currently in a weak state and had no power to fight back when he encountered Chu Tianfeng.
There is no need for the other party to lie, and it is even more disdainful.
"Chu asked Taoist fellow Liuyang not long ago. He swore an oath to the inner demons and never asked for outside help."
Chu Tianfeng added.
Master Li Huo was startled for a moment. Since the Nascent Soul Lord, who had entangled interests around him, had been ruled out as a suspect... then who could be the murderer?
It is true that there are many immortal kingdoms in the Daqing East Region, and there is no lack of the existence of the Nascent Soul Lord.
But those Nascent Souls are far apart and have no interest in each other. Moreover, True Lord Sanyang swore an oath of inner demons and did not ask for outside help.
"Could it be...the Sixth Sect of Demonic Dao?"
Master Lihuo was frightened and thought of a possibility.
However, with the expansion speed of the Six Demonic Sects, digesting the territory of each Immortal Cultivation Kingdom, they should not be able to invade the surrounding areas of Liang Kingdom so quickly.
The invasion of the Six Demonic Sects will not be as gentle as the Jinyang Sect.
As long as you resist, the orthodoxy will be destroyed.
Bloodbath and extermination of families are commonplace.
Most of the time, the six demonic sects do not accept the sect's submission.
In comparison, the immortal cultivating forces around Feng Kingdom are considered neutral and lawful.
No matter how dirty things are secretly, at least on the surface, everyone still respects the rules and morals.
"Among the six sects of the Demonic Way, there is a special sect called the 'Wu Jian Sect'."
Chu Tianfeng said slowly.
"Wu Jian Men generally does not directly participate in frontal wars. It is mainly responsible for intelligence collection, in order to conduct detailed internal infiltration of enemy forces, and also takes care of some assassination tasks."
Master Li Huo said: "Fellow Daoist Chu is suspicious that the monk who fired the cold arrow might be from the Wujian Sect?"
"Just a guess!"
Chu Tianfeng was not sure, "Chu once went to the Xiuxian Kingdom that was invaded by the Six Demonic Sects. He collected a lot of information and came to a conclusion."
"Any territory targeted by the Six Demonic Sects, Wujianmen will penetrate at least ten or twenty years in advance, collect intelligence, and destroy the unity of hostile forces. When encountering strong opponents, they may even plan for hundreds of years!"
Chu Tianfeng was at a high level and was the first to capture the movements of the Six Demonic Sects, so he wanted to put an end to the Immortal Cultivation War as soon as possible.
The armistice agreement signed in the Feng Kingdom was to avoid internal strife.
He issued a message to let the Jinyang Sect have a gambling battle with the Nascent Soul True Monarch from the Lihuo Palace, also to reduce casualties.
Unexpectedly, a third party intervened in the gambling war.
Master Lihuo was plotted at that time, and he was so angry that he unleashed the real fire.
At that time, the Jinyang Sect could not hold back. Since he was so offended, he simply showed no mercy and attacked the Lihuo Palace.
…
Master Li Huo thought for a moment and basically believed what Chu Tianfeng said.
At least Chu Tianfeng didn't do anything wrong in that gambling battle.
However, he still had prejudices against Chu Tianfeng. Now that he was in the hands of the other party, he had no choice but to live or die, and there was no need to be polite.
"Chu Tianfeng! Now that the Lihuo Sect has been destroyed and the mountain gate no longer exists, what does the invasion of the six demonic sects have to do with Pindao?"
Master Lihuo sneered.
"When you united with Chen State and invaded Feng State, Pindao sent disciples to contact you. At that time, you were aloof and noncommittal."
"Pindao led the sects of the Liang Kingdom and 'cooperated' with the men to invade the Feng Kingdom from behind, only to plunder and not occupy the territory. As a result, in the end, you sects of the Three Kingdoms ceased war and signed an agreement to allow the Jinyang Sect to move north!"
Master Lihuo was very angry when he mentioned the past events.
The Liang Guo Zongmen invaded in the early stage and plundered resources, which was quite rich. Everyone ate meat and soup together, and many of the beneficiaries praised the courage of the Supreme Elder.
At that time, Chu Tianfeng did not warn or stop him. After all, Liang Guo could share the military strength of the Feng Guo sect.
Logically speaking, this should be a silent tacit understanding between both parties.
"Fellow Taoist Lihuo, this is your destiny."
Chu Tianfeng did not deny the facts.
"If it weren't for the Six Demonic Sects to expand eastward, and the Feng Kingdom's foundation is too deep, and we don't want to continue to fight internally, I, the Wuya Palace, wouldn't mind you joining in. If we can defeat the Jinyang Sect as soon as possible and occupy the fourth-level mid-level spiritual veins, we will have one of you. share of the credit.”
"So, I leave the Fire Palace to be the final victim."
Master Lihuo saw through this when he was engaged in a "self-defense counterattack" by Jin Yangzong.
Even if Lihuo Palace did not invade Feng Kingdom first, it would not be able to change the outcome.
It just gave Fengguo an excuse to defend itself and fight back.
"Yes, because you are the weakest."
Chu Tianfeng spoke out and revealed the bloody reality.
In fact, at that point in time, every step taken by Master Lihuo was correct.
If it weren’t for the Six Demonic Sects’ eastward expansion. The Liang Kingdom's sect and below committed crimes and took advantage of the opportunity to invade the Feng Kingdom, which had a vast territory and abundant resources, and plundered the resources and inheritance, which could boost the foundation of the entire Liang Kingdom's immortal world.
The Liang State sect only plundered resources and did not occupy any territory. It was very measured and Yan State and Chen State would not have any objections.
If he succeeds, he will be sung and praised, and become a great man in the Liang Kingdom's cultivation world.
In the later Liang Kingdom war, Lihuo Palace also defended steadily and persisted for many years without any fault.
However, the strength gap is obvious.
The Jinyang Sect has an ancient heritage. Thousands of years ago, there was a sect with three Yuanying, and now it is still a relatively weak era for the sect.
"Yes, among the surrounding Yuanying sects, my Lihuo Palace is indeed one of the weakest. Even the breakthrough point chosen by the six sects of the Demonic Path is my Lihuo Palace."
Lihuo Shangren looked decadent and smiled bitterly.
Although Chu Tianfeng's words were hurtful, they were the iron law of the jungle in the cultivation world.
No matter how shrewd you are in your calculations, and it seems that every step is correct, your strength and luck are not there, and the result is destined.
...
"Chu Tianfeng, stop talking nonsense, how do you plan to deal with it, I will do whatever you want."
Lihuo Shangren knew that in his poor condition at this time, there was no possibility of escape.
If he was at his peak, his Nascent Soul would have left his body and his speed would have been several times faster than that of the cultivators of the same level, so he might still have been able to escape.
In the Nascent Soul Battle in Lihuo Palace, he was ambushed and fought fiercely with the Six Yang True Lord, suffering heavy injuries and damage to his Nascent Soul.
Not long after, he was taken advantage of by many True Lords such as Liang Shaotian, who used their energy to make matters worse.
Fortunately, he activated his secret technique and stimulated his potential, suppressing more than a dozen True Lords on the other side by himself, allowing Elder Wang and others to escape.
In order to demonstrate the power of the True Lord of the Nascent Soul, he forcibly broke through the "Xuan Yin Heavy Water Array" that restrained him at all costs, killed two or three True Lords, and vented his anger.
As a result, his physical body was almost scrapped, his lamp was exhausted, and he almost fainted.
"Daoyou Lihuo, I want to take your life, why today?"
Chu Tianfeng shook his head and chuckled:
"The previous gambling battle was due to my inconsiderateness, which caused heavy losses to your palace."
Hmm?
Hearing this, Master Lihuo was surprised and vaguely guessed the other party's intention.
Chu Tianfeng was apologetic and took out a long jade box.
"This fourth-level thousand-year-old soul-nourishing wood will help you nourish your Yuanying, and then find a good body to restore your full strength as soon as possible."
Master Lihuo overdrawn his life and his body was too seriously injured. Even if he was repaired, he could not exert 50% of his strength.
The Yuanying was also damaged, but it was better.
The fourth-level soul-nourishing wood can nourish the soul and slowly repair the injuries of the Yuanying. Even for Yuanying cultivators, it is a rare spiritual object of heaven and earth.
Chu Tianfeng took out such a treasure to express his apology, which shows that he is indeed sincere.
Zhenren Lihuo was not polite. He took the jade box and scanned it with his spiritual sense.
Chu Tianfeng was one of the main reasons for the destruction of Lihuo Palace, and his resentment was only slightly relieved.
With this soul-nourishing tree, he could nourish his damaged and withered Nascent Soul, and his remaining life span might be slightly extended.
"After my Wuya Palace moves north and takes over Fengguo, the original fourth-level spiritual vein of the mountain gate of Yanguo can be used by Lihuo Palace for cultivation."
Chu Tianfeng suggested.
Sending a soul-nourishing tree and providing a mountain gate dojo with a fourth-level spiritual vein?
How could it be a free lunch?
Lihuo Zhenren was as clear as a mirror, and said in embarrassment: "My Lihuo Palace suffered heavy losses, and its members fled in all directions. I am afraid that it will not be able to suppress the fourth-level spiritual vein of Yanguo."
Once the six sects of the Demonic Path invade this area, Yanguo's geographical location will become one of the first to suffer.
Chu Tianfeng took over Fengguo.
Not only did he value the fourth-level middle-grade spiritual vein of Jinyang Sect, but he also maintained the cultivation of the middle stage of Nascent Soul.
Fengguo is vast and rich in resources, with great strategic depth and multiple ancient Yuanying forces.
Only by staying in Fengguo and coordinating in the middle can we have a better chance of resisting the invasion of the Demonic Path.
"If Lihuo Palace is willing to go, my Wuya Palace will promote the major sects and provide material assistance. If not, Chu has other candidates."
Chu Tianfeng did not force it.
"I plan to recuperate in Jingguo for a few years, and then go west to seek refuge with my friends in the 'Seven Kingdoms Alliance'."
Master Lihuo saw that Chu Tianfeng was not a hypocritical person and no longer concealed it.
This area made him so miserable, and he lost his spirit because of his short lifespan.
Now, Master Lihuo only wants to cultivate the inheritance and continue the Taoist tradition.
"Although the Seven Kingdoms Alliance is strong, it is now being invaded by two of the six sects of the Demonic Path. Daoist Fellow Lihuo can also contribute a bit of strength if he goes there."
Chu Tianfeng sighed.
The Seven Kingdoms Alliance is located in the west of Jingguo and Chenguo, separated by a piece of Absolute Spiritual Wasteland, with many mortal kingdoms scattered in between.
In the Seven Nations Alliance, the Chamber of Commerce is more powerful, while the sects are declining and almost extinct.
Each country has at least one person in the Nascent Soul stage, and the Seven Nations Alliance also has a leader in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
The Jing Kingdom's Chamber of Commerce actually imitated the model of the Seven Nations Alliance, and some of the Chambers of Commerce migrated from the Seven Nations Alliance.
Unfortunately, it learned a four-way confrontation. Jing Kingdom is currently a business alliance and a sect competing against each other.
Jing Kingdom has applied many times to join the Seven Nations Alliance and form an Eight-Nation Alliance.
Unfortunately, the Seven Nations Alliance does not play with it.
One is the distance reason, and the other is that Jing Kingdom is relatively weak and does not have a fourth-level spiritual vein.
Li Huo Shangren may not want to stay in this lost land, or he may be more optimistic about the Seven Nations Alliance, so he chose the latter.
In fact, he did not have many choices.
The Liang Kingdom area is located in the north of the Daqing East Region.
To the southwest is the expansion route of the six sects of the Demonic Path.
To the north, beyond the Black Mist Mountains and Liuyun Sect, there is an endless desert. The geographical environment is harsh, spiritual veins are scarce, and it is difficult for outside forces to integrate.
To the west, there is Jing State and the Seven Nations Alliance.
To the east, there is an endless poisonous swamp, full of various poisons, extremely dangerous.
Going in that direction, it is the territory of the Five Poison Sect and the Thousand Machine Sect.
The six sects of the Demonic Path do not want to easily provoke these two ruthless characters.
Therefore, when the tide of the Demonic Path swept in, there were not many comfortable places in the East Region of Daqing.
…
"Fellow Daoist Chu has taken on the heavy responsibility and wants to lead the surrounding countries to resist the invasion of the six sects of the Demonic Path. I admire him."
Before leaving, Master Lihuo saw that Chu Tianfeng was really going to let him go, and admired his mind and pattern.
He decided to tell the truth.
"The six sects of the Demonic Path have entered the Eastern Region of Daqing and become the masters of this place. I am afraid that this is the general trend of the future and it is difficult to reverse."
"Oh? Does Daoist Fellow Lihuo have a good plan?" Chu Tianfeng's face showed no joy or anger.
"In my opinion, there are only two ways to resist the six sects of the Demonic Path."
"First, ask for help from the ten sects of Xuanmen in the Central Region."
"Second, a Yuanhou was born in our Eastern Region."
After listening to this, Chu Tianfeng frowned slightly and was a little disappointed.
"Asking for help from the ten sects of Xuanmen, the immortal cultivation forces that were destroyed before have already been tried by others."
"Three hundred years ago, the leader of the righteous path in the Central Region, the great cultivator of the Nascent Soul, led the ten sects of Xuanmen to defeat the six sects of the Demonic Path, which led to the eastward expansion of the demonic forces."
"Now, the leader of the righteous path has disappeared, and the ten sects of Xuanmen are in disarray, with serious internal strife. It's better not to mention it!"
Chu Tianfeng has no hope for the ten sects of Xuanmen.
Perhaps, the eastward expansion of the six sects of the Demonic Path was originally a compromise between them and the ten sects of the Xuanmen after their defeat.
As for the second method, the birth of the late Nascent Soul.
In the past ten thousand years, no great cultivator of the Yuanhou has been born in the East Region.
Don’t look at him as a middle-stage Nascent Soul, which intimidates all countries.
But the great cultivator of the Yuanhou is a whole new level, and he is the top figure in the entire Tianheng Continent.
Moreover, it is difficult for Daqing to retain the great cultivator of the Yuanhou.
It is said that becoming a great cultivator of the Yuanhou will enter the vision of the top forces in the Tianheng Continent.
Such a great cultivator will even be invited to recruit by the Zhongzhou Holy Land and even the Great Jin Dynasty.
Say goodbye to Lihuo Shangren.
Chu Tianfeng turned into a white rainbow, piercing through the sky, and entered the Jiugangtian that ordinary cultivators could not enter, ignoring the strong wind of powder gold and broken iron.
A moment of effort.
His deep and insightful eyes were cast in a certain direction of the border of Jing State.
Liang Shaotian and his group of demon sect monks, hiding in the forbidden area, were easily found by his consciousness.
"The predecessor of the Xuanyin Demon Sect was once one of the seven giants of the Demon Dao. Later, it split out for unknown reasons, leaving only the six sects of the Demon Dao."
"Before the invasion of the six sects of the Demon Dao, they might let the 'Wujianmen' try to win over the Xuanyin Demon Sect."
"The head of the Demon Sect, Liang Shaotian, has amazing luck. He has achieved what he has today with just a top-grade spiritual root. He is also gifted and has cultivated the [Black Gang Demon Flame]. Given time, he can be promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, and he may be able to fight against the middle stage of the Nascent Soul."
At this time, Chu Tianfeng had a choice, to strangle this demon genius in the cradle in advance.
Liang Shaotian, who was sitting cross-legged in the forbidden area to heal his wounds, suddenly opened his dark eyes.
"Hiss! Damn it! Why is it so cold all of a sudden?"
Xiang Jinglong, with a bandage on his arm, shrank in the corner and shuddered.
...
More than half a year later.
Qingsha Bay, Qiufeng Island.
Above the mansion, the vortex of spiritual energy of heaven and earth, accompanied by light clouds, slowly dissipated.
"Fortunately, the innate Dao body broke through the great realm, and there was no special anomaly."
Lu Changan sat in the courtyard, paying attention to the whole process of Xia Wenyue's foundation building.
Xia Wenyue in the secret room was covered with a crystal ice layer, like an ice sculpture of a goddess.
This is a special situation of practicing "Frozen Ancient Scroll".
"Frozen Ancient Scroll" is the core practice of a destroyed Yuanying sect in Dakun in the previous life. It has its own unique features. Every time a key level is broken through, it will freeze itself and usher in a transformation.
At the same time, there is a mysterious ice-sealing secret technique in "Frozen Ancient Scroll", which can make oneself fall into eternal ice.
Even cultivators with much higher cultivation than oneself find it difficult to break through head-on.
In the eternal ice state, it can also greatly delay the passage of life span.
"Frozen Ancient Scroll" has extremely high requirements for qualifications. Xia Wenyue's innate Dao body is just right. The mana cultivated can also be amplified by the Dao body.
Click!
The ice layer on Xia Wenyue's body shattered, and the robes and gowns on her body also shattered, revealing her icy skin like snow.
She opened her eyes, and a cold light like autumn water appeared, and then she returned to a warm and tranquil state, revealing a sense of joy.
Soon, she found that her skirt was torn, and she thought of something, her pretty face flushed, and she immediately took out a new robe and put it on.
"Mr. Lu said that when I build my foundation, he will secretly check it. It shouldn't be that coincidental, and Mr. Lu is a gentleman."
Xia Wenyue comforted herself in her heart, and immediately used her magic power to consolidate her cultivation of the foundation.
As a gentleman, Lu Changan retracted his gaze at the first time.
Because he didn't consider the cultivation route, he didn't have any thoughts about Xia Wenyue.
In this life, before achieving the Nascent Soul, Lu Changan didn't consider getting a Taoist partner at all.
But as a long-lived person, life is so long, he doesn't reject a fleeting relationship that is willing to be with you.
With Xia Wenyue's qualifications and potential, and a noble status in the future, it is impossible for her to be so submissive.
Even if Xia Wenyue didn't mind, it would still bring jealousy to Lu Changan.
…
Half a month later, the Xia family held a foundation-building celebration for Xia Wenyue, but it was relatively low-key and not widely publicized.
Even so, there was still an endless stream of cultivators coming to Qingsha Bay to participate in the foundation-building celebration.
In addition to the cultivators from the major families of the Wufu Chamber of Commerce, there were also representative cultivators from the cooperative chambers of commerce.
As Xia Wenyue's nominal medical teacher, Lu Changan naturally couldn't refuse.
He was arranged to sit in the best seat with the clan leader Xia Hongyu.
During the celebration, Lu Changan drank a lot of spiritual wine and communicated with the clan leader Xia Hongyu.
There were quite a few cultivators who came to congratulate, including the cultivators who accompanied him, and it was inevitable that unknown cultivators mixed in.
Lu Changan noticed that some cultivators secretly observed Xia Wenyue, or during the celebration, they asked the cultivators in the clan for information.
This situation was inevitable.
Lu Changan and the Xia clan leader could only let it go.
Fortunately, the innate Taoist body did not show any abnormality when it was not fighting at full strength and stimulating its innate abilities.
…
At night, Lu Changan, who had drunk a lot of spirit wine, returned to the mansion of Qiufeng Island.
During the celebration, the rock rat stole delicious food and drank a lot of wine. At this time, it was sleeping soundly in a cellar.
Just give it a day off.
Walked into the master bedroom from the courtyard.
Looking at the distorted shadows on the ground, Lu Changan could not help but notice something unusual.
"Lu Changan, you are in trouble!"
A hoarse and deep mysterious male voice came from the shadow of the room.
I am in better condition. I ask for some monthly tickets at the beginning of the month. . .
An author told me that if I am not in good condition, I should add more water and never stop. I tried it and it worked a little.
