Chapter 405 Returning to Daqing, the Situation in the Eastern Region
Half a month later, news came from Yunxia Sect.
Changqing Zhenjun, one of the two dragons in the Central Region, went out to travel.
At first, the cultivators around Dayu Kingdom did not care about this news.
It is normal for those Yuanying old monsters to travel and look for opportunities, and not return for ten or twenty years.
However, Changqing Zhenjun did not appear for many years during this long journey, as if he disappeared out of thin air in the Great Abyss.
His last public appearance was to visit Master Le in the Dandao League, where he stayed for a few months and asked him to refine some elixirs.
Not only did Changqing Zhenjun never return.
After several years, Jingtian Zhenjun, one of the two dragons in the Central Region, also lost his trace in the Great Abyss.
As time passed, the reputation of the two dragons in the Central Region gradually faded in the Great Abyss cultivation world and was replaced by the younger generation.
Only a very small number of forces and cultivators are still exploring the whereabouts of the two dragons in the Central Region.
…
The forbidden land of the Central Region, the Ten Thousand Demons Valley.
In a dark and hidden cave.
On the formation stone platform, Lu Changan melted the last piece of space treasure into the formation.
He took a deep breath, embedded some high-quality spirit stones in the formation stone pillar, and activated the space formation of Tinghai Pavilion with a spell.
Buzz!
The twisted deep blue light gate appeared in the center of the formation stone platform, accompanied by space fluctuations and the flow of water spirit patterns.
This repair was just the addition and consolidation of peripheral materials.
"The space fluctuation of the formation has slightly improved stability."
After sensing and investigating, Lu Changan made another calculation to make sure there were no loopholes.
He still sent a third-level puppet clone to integrate into the projection of the second life to detect a rough idea.
"Old Wei."
Before Lu Changan finished speaking, the green-armored puppet flashed and jumped into the deep blue light gate.
Di Yanjun and Xuanshuigui were in the spirit pet bag and did not come out, but the spirit pet bag was connected to the outside world.
The alien peacock was not activated in the space prop to reduce the load and interference.
"More than ninety years..."
Before leaving, Lu Changan looked back at the Dayuan cultivation world.
Although he did not stay in this land for as long as Daqing, nor did he have such attachment, it was a key turning point for him to complete his three-life goal.
Before leaving Yunxia Sect, Xiao Qingshan, who awakened his memories of his previous life, hoped that Lu Changan would take him back to Daqing to have a look.
Lu Changan did not agree, but said that he would consider this matter when the time was right in the future.
The fact that Daqing did not have a Nascent Soul cultivator did not mean that Lu Changan was invincible and could walk sideways.
As a Nascent Soul True Lord, a fourth-level puppet master, and a divination master, it was not difficult for him to fight against the middle stage of the Nascent Soul and protect himself.
But there were still strong enemies in Daqing, and potential crises.
For example, Qingmu True Lord, who practiced Changqing Gong, had the strength to kill old-fashioned Nascent Souls nearly a hundred years ago.
Therefore, Lu Changan could not take Xiao Qingshan back, which would cause trouble.
Before parting, Lu Changan left Xiao Qingshan with puppets, talismans and other items to protect him.
With his reputation, the care of Fairy Zixia, and the background of the Xiao family, even if Xiao Qingshan does not become a Yuanying, he will be a top figure in Dayu Kingdom in the future.
...
Wait a moment.
Master Wei sent a vague message that the other party had passed through the space channel and arrived at the Daqing territory at the other end.
Lu Changan put on the [Black Wind Cloak], activated the Evergreen Mana, and a layer of verdant and vibrant mana shield covered his whole body.
At this time, Lu Changan's mana was stronger than when he left Yunxia Sect.
At the invitation of Master Le, Lu Changan would not make a wasted trip to the Dandao League.
By the way, let this old fox help to refine some elixirs.
Fourth-level alchemy masters are even rarer in Daqing.
Lu Changan has been hoarding a lot of materials in Dayuan for so many years, including the harvest from the battle with the Seven True Lords.
Among them, Lu Changan prepared two sets of materials for the third-level longevity pill, and asked Master Le to refine the third-level fine longevity pill as much as possible, which could reduce the number of pills.
It is a rare opportunity to make a fine pill. In addition to attainment, luck also counts.
In the end, Master Le refined a third-level fine longevity pill, three genuine ones, and one slightly flawed inferior one.
The ordinary third-level longevity pill had a relatively poor effect on Lu Changan. He took two pills, but his life was extended for several years, and his drug resistance was basically full.
The remaining third-level genuine one, the inferior one, was kept for backup.
The third-level fine longevity pill did not completely refresh the drug resistance and achieve the ideal double effect, but only extended his life by thirty or forty years.
Lu Changan speculated that this was because he had taken the fourth-level longevity pill, and the ordinary third-level longevity pill had also refreshed its drug resistance to the maximum. The third-level fine product is considered to be between the ordinary third and fourth levels.
"Even if I don't use puppet spirit pets and the Nine Seals Stele, I am still a strong player in the early stage of the Nascent Soul."
Lu Changan calmly stepped into the deep blue light gate.
In the space channel, there was an invisible sense of squeezing.
Relying on the magic power to protect his body and the quasi-fourth-level body refining, Lu Changan shuttled through the space channel more easily than last time.
After a while, the light of the formation stone platform gradually dimmed and the space fluctuations disappeared.
It wasn't long before Lu Changan's breath disappeared in the abyss.
Three Nascent Soul cultivators from the coast of the East Region drove the water escape light and headed straight for the Central Region Forbidden Land.
On the right, a female cultivator in a black dress and wearing a veil hat, her beautiful figure lingering in the dark water, was the True Lord Mingshui who was defeated and seriously injured more than ten years ago.
Compared with the battle that year, the True Lord Mingshui's mana aura was a little weaker, perhaps due to the serious damage to his body.
"Junior sister, you speculated that Tinghai Pavilion might have left a space formation channel in the Central Region Forbidden Land, and it was related to Jing Wufeng, one of the two dragons in the Central Region. You shouldn't have acted without authorization last time."
One of the cold and indifferent male voices was a little blaming.
"Junior sister is just guessing, there is no conclusion, how dare you disturb the senior brother who is in retreat. Besides, before that battle, there was no mention of the 'two dragons in the central region' in Dayuan, how could junior sister know that the two thieves were so powerful."
"Especially Xiang Dalong is really well hidden, and seems to be quite familiar with the inheritance of our sect's skills. After a lot of intelligence calculations, I am sure that this boy is also from another state, and he is very suspicious."
Mingshui Zhenjun was relatively humble. When he mentioned Xiang Dalong, his cold and white face under the veil showed resentment and murderous intent.
In the battle that year, Xiang Dalong's nail-headed arrow injured her soul, and many of her methods constrained her. Otherwise, she would not be defeated and seriously injured in a short time with just a fake spiritual treasure.
After recovering from her injuries, she knew that she could not do anything to the two dragons, so she confessed to the chief cultivator of Hei Ze Sect and made long-term plans.
This time, she invited the tracking expert in the sect to explore and confirm the existence of the space formation.
If we find the location of the space formation, we can take the initiative and contain the vital points of the two dragons in the Central Region. We can also ask for strong support from the Sixteen Sects of Zhenhai later.
…
Daqing East Region, Qi State of the Seven Nations Alliance.
Deep in the forbidden land of Jueyuan, in the stalactite cave.
Buzz!
A group of twisted deep blue water vortexes lit up, and four concentrated deep water beads floated around, absorbing the water vapor and the turbid air of the underground dark river.
The space fluctuated chaotically, leaving smooth and flat folds on the surrounding stalactites.
Two figures stepped out of the deep blue water vortex one after another, exuding an exotic atmosphere different from this land.
They were a green armor puppet and a white-robed man.
"Fortunately, my luck was not particularly bad, and there were extreme situations of space cracks and collapse."
The white-robed man breathed a sigh of relief and touched his intact hair.
"Old Wei, don't worry. Let's get rid of the foreign aura on our bodies first, and then return to the world of Xiuxian civilization."
After Lu Chang'an's spiritual sense checked the surroundings, he took out a formation flag obtained from Shahai Zhenjun, controlled the Tinghai Pavilion water system formation covering this place, and sealed the location of the space node.
At the same time.
Lu Chang'an's Changqing Gong Yuanying Dao Fruit produced a mysterious induction, although it was not strong, but pointed to a general direction.
"Daqing Central Region? Qingmu Zhenjun has returned to the Central Region?"
Lu Chang'an thought to himself, not surprised by this.
Before returning to Daqing, his fourth-level divination naturally simulated and calculated.
After nearly a hundred years, the possibility that Qingmu Zhenjun has been squatting in the Seven Nations Alliance is very low.
Between Lu Chang'an and Qingmu Zhenjun, it is an important opportunity for mutual attraction.
But the Xiuxian world is vast and vast, and there is more than one opportunity, and it is impossible to spend a lifetime on it.
After Lu Chang'an restrained his magic power, the induction became vague.
After being promoted to the Nascent Soul stage and becoming a fourth-level divination master, Lu Changan was no longer afraid of Qingmu Zhenjun.
The practitioners of Changqing Gong only have a longer lifespan, not true immortals.
He had reincarnated several times and obtained the memories of many Nascent Souls, so he must have an advantage in cultivating the hundred arts of immortality.
Half a month later, Lu Changan used a special method to speed up and completely eliminate the foreign aura.
Although Daqing is his hometown, he stayed in Dayuan for too long and merged with the aura of that land. When he returned, he was like a stranger.
…
A few days later.
Lu Changan flew out of the Jueyuan Forbidden Land shrouded in strange fog.
Jueyuan Forbidden Land is a famous dangerous forbidden land of the Seven Nations Alliance. It is also an abyss, bottomless, and there are many evil spirits and evil things.
When a cultivator enters, his consciousness and magic power will be continuously weakened. Due to the disorder of space and strange phenomena, it is easy to get lost in it.
After experiencing the demon sealing in Dayuan, Lu Changan speculated that the forbidden land of Jueyuan in the Seven-Nation Alliance might belong to the invasion point of the "Demon Peak Realm" and was once used as a base to take root in the human world.
After flying thousands of miles, Lu Changan finally met the cultivators in Daqing.
The passing cultivators came and went in a hurry, with obvious vigilance.
"It seems that the shadow of the war of the demons has not been truly eliminated."
Lu Changan is currently in Qi, the Seven-Nation Alliance, and has not revealed the mana and escape light of the Yuanying level, otherwise he would be captured by the country's sensing formation.
After returning to Daqing, Lu Changan's first step is to explore intelligence and grasp the situation.
Instead of exposing his identity and cultivation, which attracted the attention of both the Seven-Nation Alliance and the Six Sects of the Demonic Path.
Through the Hundred Illusion Mask, Lu Changan transformed himself into a foundation-building cultivator and mixed into the nearby market.
It was just an ordinary market, and the identity of outsiders was strictly checked to screen out the spies of the demonic path, but it was useless for the Yuanying old monster.
Half a day later, Lu Changan found out about the situation of the Seven Nations Alliance and the Demonic War in the market.
To avoid attracting attention.
He used the "Heavenly Demon Secret Method" to invade the minds of several high-level foundation-building people in the market, and obtained some useful information from their sea of consciousness.
...
"It turns out that the Seven Nations Alliance's Demonic invasion war had a truce for several decades."
In the inn in the market, Lu Changan opened his eyes, his expression was briefly dazed, and then he showed a strange expression.
"I didn't expect it! Nearly a hundred years ago, the arrival of that Qingmu Zhenjun actually affected the Seven Nations Alliance and even part of the pattern of the Demonic Battlefield in the East Region of Daqing."
Although he had no contact with the high-level people in the cultivation world, Lu Changan had a preliminary understanding of the situation on the Seven Nations Alliance side, including the news of Qingmu Zhenjun.
It can be said that Qingmu Zhenjun was the turning point of the Demonic War.
This mediocre and low-key Yuanying in the Central Region came to the Seven Nations Alliance and first killed "Fulong Zhenjun" of [Phantom Demon Palace] after coming to the Seven Nations Alliance, offending the six demonic sects.
The top leaders of the Seven Nations Alliance tried their best to win over Qingmu Zhenjun, promising him great benefits and letting him stay in the Seven Nations Alliance for more than ten years.
It is not difficult for Lu Changan to guess that Qingmu Zhenjun's stay was to use the power of the top leaders of the Seven Nations Alliance to investigate the missing Changqing Gong fellow.
The precise and strong induction between Lu Changan and Qingmu Zhenjun occurred in the Seven Nations Alliance, not the Weidao Alliance.
This is a serious misleading.
After staying in the Seven Nations Alliance for more than ten years to investigate, Qingmu Zhenjun killed an early Yuanying of [Blood Spirit Sect].
Later, when he joined forces with the Yuanying of the Seven Nations Alliance to resist a middle-stage Yuanying of the Demon Dao, he caused the opponent to suffer a loss, which is said to have led to a decline in strength and a reduction in lifespan.
The existence of Qingmu Zhenjun affected the balance of the Demon Dao war in the Seven Nations Alliance area, and even gave the Seven Nations Alliance an advantage for a time.
Qingmu Zhenjun did not stay in the Seven Nations Alliance all the time, and later went to the Weidao Alliance. The subsequent intelligence was not clear to the middle and lower-level cultivators of the Seven Nations Alliance.
"Has Qingmu Zhenjun also cultivated the forbidden magic of wood element such as "Withered Divine Light"? Although it is not one-on-one, it threatens the middle stage of Yuanying in actual combat."
"It is said that Qingmu Zhenjun's strongest killer move is a set of wood element sword formation. Once the Yuanying cultivator of the same level is trapped by the sword formation, it is difficult to escape, and the Yuanying can't escape."
Lu Changan's face is solemn. The rumors of the scales and claws show how powerful Qingmu Zhenjun is.
In order to obtain more information and provide a medium for the fourth-level divination.
The next day, Lu Changan sneaked into a prosperous fairy city in Qi State and bought more relevant information from the intelligence organization.
"Qingmu Zhenjun's wood element sword formation is composed of twelve fourth-level medium-quality precious Qingxuan wood. It is extremely powerful and indestructible!"
"Moreover, this was the situation nearly a hundred years ago. After Qingmu Zhenjun left the East Region, this set of sword formation is suspected to have been strengthened again."
Lu Changan learned the specific situation of the wood element sword formation. While being daunted, he couldn't help but feel envious and jealous.
Excluding the [Nail Head Arrow], Lu Changan's attack is not outstanding and it is difficult to threaten the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
And this Qingmu Zhenjun has mastered a powerful wood sword formation, and his attack means are powerful.
"In addition, Qingmu Zhenjun is suspected to have a mysterious treasure that can trap the Nascent Soul spirit body..."
Based on the intelligence information of Qingmu Zhenjun, Lu Changan made a little guess with the fourth-level divination and understood this gentleman's way.
Qingmu Zhenjun should have sacrificed his life span to give birth to important spiritual objects of heaven and earth to impact the great realm and obtain a powerful magic weapon that matches him, and he has the ability to fight against the same level.
Qingxuan wood is a precious wood in the world of immortal cultivation, suitable for making sword magic weapons.
At that time, Yu Yuanjin wanted to collect a piece of Qingxuan wood and was willing to trade it with Lu Changan for the Lightning Pearl.
A complete set of fourth-level middle-grade Qingxuan wood sword formation is really a luxury, and it is difficult for the Nascent Soul sects to gather them.
...
The intelligence forces in the Immortal City also have relevant news from the Weidao League.
After staying in the Seven Kingdoms Alliance for more than ten years, Qingmu Zhenjun went to the Weidao Alliance.
The Weidao Alliance only had three immortal cultivation countries, Fengguo, Jingguo, and Liangguo, and the situation was once more dangerous than that of the Seven Kingdoms Alliance.
When the Beast King Valley learned that Qingmu Zhenjun was coming, they took the initiative to ambush and kill him, but failed.
Qingmu Zhenjun was invited by the Weidao Alliance leader Chu Tianfeng and promised to stay in Fengguo for more than ten years. He killed an early Yuanying in the Beast King Valley and captured a fourth-level spiritual bird alive.
"In the process of looking for Lu, Qingmu Zhenjun affected the situation in the East Region, killed people and seized treasures along the way, was treated as an important guest, and gained both fame and fortune. He made a lot of money."
Lu Changan also learned that Qingmu Zhenjun had a good reputation among the local forces in the East Region.
The Weidao Alliance and the Seven Kingdoms Alliance were grateful to him.
This gentleman has a peaceful temperament, is not arrogant to others, and will not kill innocent people indiscriminately.
If it weren't for the influence of Qingmu Zhenjun on the situation, the three countries of the Weidao League might have been completely conquered by the Demonic Beast King Valley.
Qingmu Zhenjun killed so many cultivators of the Demonic Path, and the six sects of the Demonic Path would naturally not let it go.
On the way to Fengyuan Kingdom, the Beast King Valley and Wujian Sect, two mid-Nascent Souls and many early-Nascent Souls, set an ambush for him.
In this battle, Qingmu Zhenjun was seriously injured and fled, and his vitality was greatly damaged, and he retreated to the Daqingzhong area.
Lu Changan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he learned the result.
Qingmu Zhenjun escaped with serious injuries, and he could vaguely see the shadow of Fengyuan Kingdom's Heavenly Master behind this.
Including the calculations of the divination masters of the six sects of the Demonic Dao.
From this, it can be seen that Qingmu Zhenjun is not particularly proficient in divination, which is good news.
Divination is not something that can be achieved by simply spending one's life, but also requires talent and hard work, and it cannot be achieved quickly.
Qingmu Zhenjun's life span was used to give birth to key spiritual objects of heaven and earth, improve his realm and combat power, and it is estimated that he has mastered other immortal arts.
"Heavenly Master, you are indeed trustworthy."
Lu Changan thought of the agreement he made with the Heavenly Master before leaving Fengyuan Kingdom.
Back then, Lu Changan owed a promise to ask the Heavenly Master to help cover up his related secrets and take care of the forces such as Xuanyin Pavilion.
There is also good news on the side of the Weidao League.
There is an additional Yuanying force in the former Liang Kingdom.
That is Jinyun Valley!
Zhang Tieshan successfully formed a Nascent Soul in the Weidao League, and he was promoted to the Nascent Soul a few years earlier than Lu Changan.
The spiritual veins of Jinyun Valley were also upgraded to the fourth level.
"That's right! Jinyun Valley was upgraded from a Jindan sect to a Nascent Soul sect. In addition to Lao Zhang's management efforts, this True Lord also contributed a lot."
Lu Changan thought that the sect was lucky. He stationed in Jinyun Valley with Xuantian Gourd Vine, which brought some luck.
Jinyun Valley became a Nascent Soul force. Lu Changan's fourth-level divination had foreseen this possibility.
In this way, Lu Changan's plan to return to Daqing for cultivation was more comfortable.
That's right!
Lu Changan planned to "return" to Jinyun Valley again.
Although he disappeared for nearly a hundred years, I believe Lao Zhang did not remove him from the list.
Lu Changan planned to cultivate to the peak of the early Nascent Soul in the Nascent Soul Sect in Liangguo.
With Zhang Tianfeng, a True Lord friend with good opportunities and close friendship, he had the support of the Nascent Soul Sect formation. Even if Qingmu Zhenjun was promoted to the middle stage of Yuanying, Lu Changan was not afraid.
In Zhang Tianfeng's intelligence, the only thing that Lu Changan criticized was that this good friend of hundreds of years had dealt with Qingmu Zhenjun in the Demonic War, and it seemed that they had some friendship.
"Old Zhang, please be more careful..."
Lu Changan estimated that Qingmu Zhenjun had contact with Zhang Tieshan with bad intentions.
When he returned to Liangguo Sect, Lu Changan would have a good talk with Old Zhang, let him understand Qingmu Zhenjun's sinister intentions, and draw a clear line with him.
...
Of course, before returning to Liangguo, Lu Changan had another thing to do at the Seven Nations Alliance.
That was to collect debts!
More than ninety years ago, Lu Changan sensed the approaching threat of Qingmu Zhenjun, and had no time to seek the [Heavenly Infant Fruit] in the memory of Tianluo Patriarch, as well as the secret treasure point of Xie's Tianluo Sect.
As Nie Yuan's senior brother, Lu Changan handed over the relevant information and the blood beads for tracking to the then great elder of Lihuo Palace, Wang Feng, who was an immortal golden elixir.
With the strength of Lihuo Palace at that time, it was not difficult to take down the seriously injured remnants of Xie's family of Tianluo Sect.
Lu Changan said in the letter that he would give all other treasures to Lihuo Palace, and he only wanted the [Heavenly Infant Fruit], and asked Lihuo Palace to "keep" it for him.
At that time, Lu Changan was in the late stage of Dan formation and was very eager for the key main ingredient of Huaying Pill.
If Lihuo Palace used the [Heavenly Infant Fruit], it would owe Nie Yuan a favor and would come to collect the debt in the future!
Lu Changan was in the Seven Kingdoms Alliance and had a better understanding of the current situation of Lihuo Palace.
As an immortal golden elixir, Wang Feng inherited the core heritage of Lihuo Palace's evacuation of Liang State. He successfully formed an infant many years ago and belonged to the new generation of Yuanying Zhenjun of the Seven Kingdoms Alliance.
