Chapter 382: The Secret Method of the Heavenly Demon

"Greetings to Changqing Zhenjun."

Hu Ang stood at the periphery of the crowd, bowed humbly, and looked at the newly promoted Yuanying who was surrounded by stars, but he couldn't get close to him at all.

He didn't want to get close either.

At this moment, he dared not breathe, and his heart was trembling. He smiled and congratulated at the periphery, acting as an atmosphere group.

Xiang Dalong broke through the three levels of Yuanying tribulation, and the degree of success exceeded his expectations.

Especially the last level of the heart tribulation, which seemed long in the world of heart demons, but took less than half an hour in the outside world.

Breaking through the tribulation quickly means that the mind and will are strong and not bewitched by the outer demons.

"Fortunately, I have been forbearing and didn't show my feet."

"Xiang Dalong and Di Yanjun have both been promoted to the fourth level, which is extraordinary. Their origins are definitely not simple."

Hu Ang was still frightened, and was glad that he had not provoked Xiang Dalong before and had not leaked his identity information.

Before Xiang Dalong formed a baby, he thought that there would be opportunities for planning and turning the tables in the future.

Now, Xiang Dalong and Di Yanjun's pet have joined forces, and they are definitely the best in the early stage of Yuanying.

Even if he was at the peak of his previous life, he would have to retreat and had no chance of winning.

What's more, Jiang Ziyan colluded with this man and completely controlled the sect that he had worked hard to build, and all the confidants who had once held key positions were replaced.

Looking at Jiang Ziyan, who was talking with Changqing Zhenjun, smiling sweetly and with tender eyes, Hu Ang hid his jealousy.

He realized that it was impossible to take revenge and regain the power of the sect by his own strength.

"Dear Taoist friends, a certain family has just reached the Nascent Soul stage and needs to consolidate their realm. I will entertain you next time I come out of retreat."

After a brief exchange with Fairy Zixia, Lu Changan returned the greeting to everyone.

"Farewell to Xiang Zhenjun."

Under the admiring and envious eyes of many people, Lu Changan returned to the underground palace under the protection of Di Yanjun.

"Congratulations, Master, for your promotion to the Nascent Soul stage."

There was no one around, so Di Yanjun spoke out to congratulate.

During the entire process of the tribulation, Di Yanjun had been silently protecting the law in the underground palace, becoming the greatest security guarantee.

Prior to this, Lu Changan had also arranged for Master Wei Gui and Peacock to secretly coordinate and guard against the disturbance of hostile forces.

Facts have proved that Yunxia Sect opened a large formation and was fully alert. The guardian force on the surface alone prevented the outside world from infiltrating.

"You have worked hard in the past few years."

Lu Changan was in a very good mood and rewarded Di Yanjun with the quasi-fourth-level spirit pill he had obtained before.

In the previous few years of traveling, Di Yanjun acted as a dog demon, clearing the way and killing enemies all the way. When he was promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, he also loyally protected him.

"Thank you, Master."

Di Yanjun looked very happy and took the pill of the Red Flame Snake. He had been coveting this thing for a long time.

...

The day when Lu Changan was in seclusion to consolidate.

The whole Yunxia Sect celebrated, and the disciples received an additional 50% reward on their monthly salary.

Qingluan Peak, the third-level cave where Lu Changan was previously, was visited by visitors in an endless stream.

The True Dan and Fake Dan Zhenren in the sect did not dare to disturb Lu Changan who was in seclusion in the underground palace, and came to visit the cave housekeeper, Xiao Qingshan.

It was well known in Yunxia Sect that Xiao Qingshan was the only confidant of Xiang Zhenjun.

Xiao Qingshan, who was in the late stage of foundation building, was befriended and shown goodwill by the senior elders of the sect.

Facing those Jindan Zhenren who visited and gave gifts in person, Xiao Qingshan was flattered.

Fortunately, after experiencing the changes in treatment after Di Yanjun was promoted to the fourth level, Xiao Qingshan had seen the world and was able to socialize without being humble or arrogant.

Di Yanjun and Lu Changan were promoted to the fourth level one after another. The cultivators who regretted the most in Yunxia Sect were undoubtedly Master Yumei and his apprentice.

Yumei Zhenren was once matched with Lu Changan by the former Sect Master Hu. At that time, he was greedy for cheapness, and later the relationship became cold.

Yumei Zhenren's disciple "Yi Shuzhen" had an engagement with Xiao Qingshan in her early years. Later, seeing Xiao Qingshan's downfall, she broke up peacefully and cancelled the engagement by playing the bitter love card.

The above past events were not secrets in Yunxia Sect. They would have been forgotten as time went by.

Now that Elder Xiang had been promoted to Yuanying, Xiao Qingshan's status had risen. The past events were brought up again, becoming a laughing stock and being repeatedly criticized.

On the other hand, the deceased Sect Master Hu had promised an outstanding female cultivator in the clan to Xiao Qingshan as a concubine, which established a strong network of contacts for the Hu family.

The third-level cave of Yumei Zhenren.

Yi Shuzhen looked haggard, and her exquisite makeup could not hide her sorrow and depression.

When she learned that Elder Xiang had been promoted to Yuanying, she was struck by lightning, full of regret, and her heart seemed to be bleeding.

These days, she dared not go out.

The cultivators she knew in the circle used her as a laughing stock, and even mocked her openly and secretly, laughing at her short-sightedness and stupidity.

"Shuzhen, you have been stuck in the middle stage of foundation building for many years. Your master has arranged for you to be stationed in another place for ten years."

Yumei Zhenren's tone was cold, because her reputation was damaged because of this female disciple, and she felt disgusted.

"Master, please give Shuzhen another chance! Even if I have to work like a cow or a horse, I will serve you."

Yi Shuzhen's face was pale and she knelt down to ask.

Once she left the core circle of the sect and was transferred to another place, the welfare rewards would be reduced, and the cultivation environment would be poor. I am afraid that she would never have the hope of forming a pill in her life, and a fake pill would be a luxury.

"Go!"

Yumei Zhenren was annoyed and sent Yi Shuzhen away.

A few days ago, when Xiang Dalong formed a Yuanying, she couldn't even get close to him when the cultivators congratulated him.

As for Yi Shuzhen, Xiao Qingshan had long ignored her. This boy enjoyed the blessing of having many wives, and both of his wives and concubines were better than Yi Shuzhen now.

"Xuefeng, tomorrow you will come with me to Qingluan Peak to visit Xiao Qingshan."

Master Yumei thought for a moment and summoned a new disciple who was the youngest and most beautiful.

…

In the past few days, all major alchemy-forming factions in the sect are looking for female disciples or clan girls to be Xiao Qingshan's concubines.

Even the disciple of True Lord Zixia, a female disciple of True Lord Xiuyu, accompanied the master to visit Xiao Qingshan.

The upper echelons of the sect have a keen sense of smell. Master Xiuyu’s actions may have been under the instruction of the Supreme Elder.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the combination of Xiang Zhenjun and Diyan Lord Chong is equivalent to two Nascent Soul monks, and their top combat power is enough to suppress Fairy Zixia.

Fortunately, Zixia Zhenjun and Xiang Zhenjun have known each other for a long time and have a deep friendship.

Some of the alchemy monks in the sect admired the Supreme Elder's vision, and before Xiang Dalong even gave birth to a baby, they built a relationship with him and made him his subordinate.

Since they are not a Taoist couple, the newly promoted Xiang Zhenjun is theoretically "single".

However, out of concern for the Supreme Elder, the sect's senior leaders did not dare to take on Xiang Zhenjun's ideas, such as giving away some beautiful concubines to shorten the relationship.

As a result, Xiao Qingshan became the target of strategy and wooing.

Xiao Qingshan faces many temptations, not limited to beauty, but also wealth, treasures, and resources for cultivating immortals.

A certain faction's alchemy master even hinted that he would be willing to support his alchemy formation in the future.

Even his wives and concubines, Si Lu and Hu Lirong, were either overtly or covertly courted.

Xiao Qingshan was sober-minded and only accepted some ordinary gifts. Those gifts to his concubines, as well as financial aid and bribery, were all declined.

Xiao Qingshan did not want to offend the marriage intention of several high-ranking people, so he had to wait for Xiang Zhenjun to go into seclusion before making a decision.

"Xiang Zhenjun... Mr. Lu..."

In the early morning of this day, Xiao Qingshan woke up from his trance. The man in white who had appeared in his dreams in the past was similar to Xiang Zhenjun, who had successfully conceived a baby that day.

Recent dreams have made another progress. The identity of the man in white is known to outsiders as "Zhenren Lu".

He just vaguely remembered that this Mr. Lu once called him "Er Gou", which made him feel more cordial.

"Is there really a theory of reincarnation in this world?"

Xiao Qingshan vaguely felt that this newly promoted Xiang Zhenjun might have some connection with the man in white in the dream.

When Elder Xiang gets along with him, he is approachable and familiar, making him trust him unconditionally.

Taoist companion Si Lu once wondered why Elder Xiang chose him to be his only confidant?

In this world, how can there be any good without a reason?

…

The secret palace of the underground palace.

While Lu Changan was consolidating his realm, he was also examining his own situation.

Compared with the Dan-formation stage, the mana and consciousness are not the same.

Due to the foundation of several lifetimes, Lu Changan's soul is naturally powerful. After being promoted to the Yuanying stage, his consciousness has become comparable to the peak of the early Yuanying stage.

If it is integrated with the fourth life, the divine consciousness may be no less than that of the giants in the middle stage of Nascent Soul.

"The life span has increased by 900, and the total life span now reaches 2018..."

Feeling the longevity, Lu Changan felt excited and full of happiness.

The theoretical life span of the Nascent Soul stage can reach 1,200 years old, and most people can live to about 1,000 years old.

From the Dan Formation Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage, a normal monk's life expectancy should be six hundred years, but for some top-level wood-based health-preserving skills, it would be 10 to 20 percent longer.

Lu Changan practiced the Evergreen Gong, and his life span was 50% longer than that of the same level, thus adding 900 years to his life.

"By the way, [Nine-Seal Monument] seems to have swallowed something."

Lu Changan thought about the abnormality after overcoming the inner demon tribulation, and heard the roar of the demon from outside the territory.

The consciousness enters the Jiuyin Monument and detects abnormalities.

The handsome man in the first life, the white-bearded old man in the second life, Lu Changan in the third life, and the purple-robed Taoist in the fourth life.

None of this has changed.

The only exception is the fifth generation frame seal of the Nine-Seal Monument.

The original fifth life swallowed three Nascent Soul spirit bodies and lit up 30%.

At this moment, the frame seal of the fifth life was fully lit up by 50%!

"Could this extra 20% be caused by extraterrestrial demons..."

Lu Changan speculated, secretly shocked.

According to the vague information he learned from the Nine Seal Monument, swallowing a god-incarnated heavenly king can directly light up the fifth life.

Or ten Nascent Soul spirit bodies.

No matter whether it is the early stage of Yuanying or the middle or late stage of Yuanying, there is no difference in their essence, they are all just one.

And this extraterrestrial devil seems to be a great tonic, and it actually caused the fifth generation of the Nine Seal Monument to light up 20%.

Although he is not as good as the God-Transforming Heavenly Lord, he is worse than the Nascent Soul cultivator.

This is the third thing that Lu Changan knows that lights up the Nine Seal Monument, after Baisu Soul Gu and Nascent Soul Spirit Body.

"So, if you swallow five more Nascent Soul spirit bodies, you can light up the fifth life."

Lu Changxin has hope.

In the past, the reincarnation of body and death was completely passive, with no room for independent operation.

However, even if Lu Changan is promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, it will not be that easy to capture and devour the Nascent Soul spirit body.

With the fourth-level puppet and the demon king, it is not difficult for Lu Changan to defeat the early stage of Nascent Soul.

It is not difficult to kill the physical body.

It would be difficult to capture the Nascent Soul spirit body.

The main thing is that Lu Changan has no means to escape from Yuanying.

This method often requires special magical objects from heaven and earth, the development of magical powers, or magical weapons.

Back then, True Monarch Pagoda and True Monarch Red Snake ambushed Fairy Zixia. They did not intend to kill her, but forced her to self-destruct and abandon her magical body.

Lu Changan, as a new Yuanying, naturally does not have the means that the veteran Yuanying does not have.

Or, if the supernatural power is one level stronger, the Nascent Soul spirit body will not even have a chance to escape. That would only be possible at least in the middle Nascent Soul stage.

If you reach the level of a Nascent Soul monk, you can easily do this without relying on external objects.

One of the reasons why the Yuanying Great Monk has a high status is that he breaks the convention that ordinary true kings cannot fall easily.

As a new Nascent Soul, Lu Changan currently has obvious advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that it has strong self-protection ability and is powerful in numbers. Even in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, it is difficult to threaten its life.

The disadvantage is that the attack is insufficient.

Therefore, the difficulty of capturing Yuanying of the same level is not low.

The three Nascent Soul Spirit Bodies I once obtained.

One is picking up leaks.

Secondly, his cultivation level was low at that time and he was deceptive, which gave the Nine Seal Monument a chance to swallow it.

Among them, Master Lihuo severely injured the weak Nascent Soul and took away his body, which was almost like giving it to him for nothing.

For the other two Nascent Souls that were swallowed, Lu Changan had the initial strength to compete with the Nascent Souls at that time, and his goal was not to be in peak condition.

If Lu Changan was a Nascent Soul cultivator, the True Lord of the same level would definitely be wary of him, but he would not have such a good opportunity.

…

Lu Changan held curiosity and cautiously approached the new area illuminated by the fifth life.

"It is indeed an extraterrestrial demon. The memory fragments are absurd and bizarre, completely different from the main world."

It is even more difficult for Lu Changan to sort out the memory information of the demon. Unless he is promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, it will not be possible at all.

A month later, Lu Changan's realm was initially consolidated, and some information was obtained from the area lit by the demon outside the territory.

The extraterrestrial devil comes from another dimensional world. It is said to be the opposite dark side of the main world. All kinds of negative emotions of living beings can become their nourishment.

The bodies of extraterrestrial demons generally do not enter the human world, but invade the minds of monks with special demonic thoughts.

During the tribulation, influenced by the rules of heaven and earth, the power of the evil thoughts of the demons from outside the territory can take advantage of the situation and form a tribulation of inner demons to stop practitioners who violate the way of nature.

"The great free demon, Longjia."

From the incomplete memory fragments of the Heavenly Demon, Lu Changan learned the name of its true form, which seemed to be somewhat famous in all worlds.

What the Nine-Seal Monument swallowed was not its own body, but the "Longjia" demonic clone that invaded here, with only a little memory ability of the other party.

This demonic clone is proficient in a secret method of inner demons, and is particularly effective against monks who have obvious flaws in their mental state, or whose souls are lower than their own.

It is of no use to monks with strong will and higher cultivation level.

"So it's a magical skill to torture vegetables? But Ben Zhenjun likes it!"

Lu Changan happens to have a strong spiritual consciousness, so he can try to practice this inner demon secret method in the future.

Theoretically speaking, Nascent Soul monks have powerful souls and can practice this secret method of inner demons with slight modifications and localization.

In fact, in the inheritance of demonic sects, some of the secret techniques of souls that affect the soul come from the devil.

"The extraterrestrial demon is not only intelligent, but can even be said to be knowledgeable. No wonder many scenes that happen in the world of inner demons are perfectly logical."

Lu Changan recalled some of the information in the Heart Demon Tribulation scene and speculated that 70% of it was true and 30% was false.

Only if it is logical and contains mostly real information can it be natural and fake be mistaken for real.

"Hey! In the scene where the inner demon world was conceived, the [Nine-Seal Monument] and the Xuantian Gourd Vine did not appear."

Lu Changan was keenly aware of this.

Perhaps it is the inherent ability of the Xuantian Treasure, which is similar to blocking the calculation of heavenly secrets, so that the inner demon cannot obtain the corresponding memory information for evolution.

Of course it is also related to strength.

The great free demon named "Longjia" invaded just as a demonic clone, and its level was at most between Nascent Soul and Transformation God.

…

After consolidating his realm, Lu Changan became the Nascent Soul True Monarch with a surging heartbeat and returned to calm.

Looking to the future, there is still so much he needs to do.

First, when entering the Nascent Soul for the first time, you need to cultivate special magical powers, develop powerful and compatible magic weapons, and strengthen the shortcomings of "insufficient attack".

During the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, the quality of Lu Changan's three nail-head arrows had improved, and they were considered to be the best among high-grade magic weapons.

However, the nail-head arrow is a vicious and secretive magic weapon. It is not suitable for head-on confrontation and has no ability to retain people.

Lu Changan planned to create a regular magic weapon for frontal fighting and protection, preferably a wood magic weapon.

Secondly, the follow-up cultivation method of "The Ancient Tree Evergreen Gong".

The Evergreen Kung Fu that Lu Changan obtained in his previous life was only the first volume, and there was no chapter on the cultivation after Nascent Soul.

Without follow-up techniques, Lu Changan could only simply accumulate magic power, making half the effort with half the effort, and it was difficult to break through to the middle stage of Nascent Soul.

Fortunately, Lu Changan has two clues about the follow-up training of Changqing Gong.

"In addition to Dakun in the previous life, the 'Aoki True Lord' who also practices the Evergreen Gong may also have the follow-up skills of the Evergreen Gong."

In view of this situation, Lu Changan formulated a plan for the next few decades.

"In the Great Abyss, where the land is vast and rich in resources, we will accumulate some more years. When our strength in all aspects is enhanced to the extreme, we can go back to Daqing through the space formation channel."

Lu Changan controls the formation channel and can advance and retreat freely.

There is even a chance to become the villain of the two worlds.

The premise is that he needs to repair the formation channel and strive to be able to travel through the Nascent Soul cultivator.

Although Daqing lags behind, it has an advantage.

That's safety.

Daqing is affected by the environment of heaven and earth, and it is difficult to give birth to a great monk.

Lu Changan returned to his hometown. Not to mention invincible, at least he could be at ease. No one could kill him alone.

On the other hand, in the Great Yuan Immortal Realm, in addition to the three major monks, there are also relatively many middle-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

Based on the description of the Nascent Soul cultivator in Zhenjun Chahai's memory, if Lu Changan faced him alone, he would have a narrow escape from death, and there would be no chance of winning.

"The little demon in the temple is strong, but there are many bastards in the shallow pool."

“If I could get the follow-up to Changqing Gong, I could survive in Daqing until the middle stage of Yuanying and take revenge on the weak ones. That would be a good choice.”
