Deep in the desert, there are few people around, and flying sand and dust storms sweep across.
The corpse of a man in a green robe floated from the ice coffin, shrouded in a storm of yellow sand in the sky.
Lu Changan closed his eyes and prayed, surrounded by ancient coins, lottery tickets, turtle slices, jade and other divination objects. His flowing black hair was mixed with some silver hair, giving off an aura of vicissitudes of time.
The invisible web of destiny intertwined and spread on the body of the man in green robe, affecting countless causes and effects, blending into the mysterious river.
At the same time, a huge force of destiny, carrying the aura of national destiny, came across the sky from the direction of the Snow Mountain Holy Land of Feng Yuan Kingdom.
The power of divination condensed in Lu Changan's body skyrocketed, leveraging more fates and breaking through the heavy fog of heaven and earth.
Until a certain moment, he suddenly opened his eyes.
The mysterious light in the dark eyes was flowing, and in the mist of the long river, I could see a few blurry scenes that passed by.
"This gentleman has rebuilt his Dharma body and has just restored his Nascent Soul cultivation. He is currently located in the hinterland of the Central Daqing Territory."
After Lu Changan made the calculation, he thought for a moment.
The good news is that Lord Aoki did not run away, but fled to a more remote and private place.
There is a causal bond between the original body and the Nascent Soul.
Lu Changan used the corpse as a medium to calculate and track through the fourth-level divination technique, and received distant help from the heavenly master.
After all, there are also divination masters among the ten Xuanmen sects in the Central Region.
Lu Changan was worried that True Lord Aoki would be involved, so he joined forces with the Heavenly Master to ensure that no flaws were exposed, and the divination master in the Central Region made reverse calculations.
Finally, the general situation and location of Lord Aoki were determined.
The bad news is that although True Lord Aoki did not retreat, he chose to stay in the sect and was within the sphere of influence of the ten Xuanmen sects.
"This boy is stuck in the sect. With the help of the protection of the ten sects of Xuanmen, he has spent hundreds of years recovering his strength, but it is difficult to deal with him."
Lu Changan frowned slightly, things were not as he expected.
Lord Aoki did not escape, nor did he choose to collude with the devil and launch a counterattack.
Even the information about Changqing's battle has not spread in the world of immortal cultivation.
After thinking carefully, Lu Changan had to admit that it was safer for Lord Aoki to do this.
Lord Aoki has a grudge against the devil and naturally lacks trust.
Instead of trusting the devil, it is better to trust the righteous cultivating sect in the Central Region.
…
A few days later.
Lu Changan crossed the boundless desert and passed over the Liang Kingdom.
Go all the way west and pass through Jing Kingdom.
After the victory in the Demonic War, the Jing Kingdom divided up part of the territory of the neighboring Chen Kingdom, and the Xuanyin Sect expanded its influence and dominated one side.
There is only one Nascent Soul force, the Xuanyin Sect, in the Jing Kingdom. There are fewer constraints on its development. It can absorb the gains from the war and its rise is rapid.
"The Xuanyin Sect was born out of the 'Xuanyin Sect', one of the seven giants of the Demonic Way in the earlier period. In terms of heritage, it surpassed the Yuanying forces in the Wei Dao League. If the leader Chu hadn't been broad-minded and actively accepted and supported Liang Shaotian and the Xuanyin Sect,
The internal and external pressure was greater in the early and middle stages of the Demonic War, and it may not be able to survive to this day."
Relevant memories emerged in Lu Changan's mind.
Xuanyin Sect can be regarded as replacing the status of the original Tianluo Sect of Chen State.
Passing over the Xuanyin Sect, Lu Changan used the power of the fourth-level divination fortune-telling technique to look at it.
The results showed that Xuanyin's Qi luck was strong and its upward trend was obvious.
Lu Changan was slightly surprised and thought about it: Liang Jiao majored in the Nascent Soul stage, and his potential has been exhausted. Due to many battles in his life, the foundation of the Tao was damaged. His personal disciple Li Hai died in the war between the demons.
While pondering, Lu Changan released his spiritual consciousness, which was close to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator. Without alerting anyone, he quietly swept past the Xuanyin Sect's main rudder.
Liang Shaotian, a white-haired man, was sitting in the main hall of the sect, giving instructions to a female alchemy cultivator.
This woman has a quiet temperament, a pure and picturesque face, a pair of black and white eyes, and her pupils have a sense of purity like dark gems.
The female cultivator's name is "Zhu Xueqing". She is Liang Shaotian's disciple and the disciple accepted by his eldest disciple Li Hai. She possesses a Xuanyin body that is rare in the world of immortality.
Lu Changan met this woman once when he returned to Daqing at the beginning of that year. He hadn't seen her in these years. Zhu Xueqing was promoted to the Danjie stage, and her appearance did not change much.
Lu Changan was deep in thought, his consciousness swept across the huge Xuanyin Sect's chief rudder, and Xiang Jinglong was not found.
Hearing that before his life span came to an end, he took the initiative to die on the demonic battlefield.
In a certain cave, Lu Changan found a sturdy young man who was practicing spiritual practice. His complexion was yellowish, and he looked very similar to Xiang Jinglong.
Lu Changan knew without any extrapolation that this man was Xiang Jinglong's son, named Xiang Shaolong.
In the cave, Xiang Shaolong sat cross-legged, holding a spiritual shell with a blue luster in his hand, which did not look like a product of the Daqing Land.
With the help of the third-level spiritual treasures, Xiang Shaolong's body is nourished, his recovery speed is faster, and he has more energy for daily practice.
"This boy's ambition is quite big! With the tenth birthday gift given by Lord Ben Zhen, he has actually mastered both the Dharma and the body, and his progress is not slow at all."
Lu Changan was speechless and did not make any intervention.
The causal grievances between him and Xiang Jinglong have long been settled and disappeared in the tide of time.
…
Leaving the borders of Jing Kingdom, there is a vast and desolate land.
Most of them are areas lacking spiritual energy, including some unparalleled spiritual areas, dangerous areas, and no soil for cultivating immortal civilization.
The Guardian Alliance and the Seven Nations Alliance are separated by this desolate land.
Due to the lack of spiritual energy replenishment from heaven and earth, the escape speed is limited. Even if the Danjie monks travel through this desolate land, it often takes a month or two.
Outside the border of Jing State, Lu Changan stayed for a while.
at some point.
A strange black smoke silently passed through the mountains and landed not far from Lu Changan.
In the shadows, a man in a black robe and cloak appeared. His body was as sharp as a knife, and his stern features were blurred and devoid of any emotion.
"Lu Zhenjun."
The person who came was none other than True Lord Jueying. He bowed his hands to Lu Changan who was standing with his hands behind his back.
Lu Changan nodded and glanced lightly. Compared with the last time they cooperated to deal with Qingmu, Jueying Zhenjun's magical power has improved significantly.
Being stared at by Lu Changan, Jueying Zhenjun suddenly felt uneasy, and an inexplicable sense of crisis flashed past.
The elder of the Wujian Sect felt awe-inspiring. As an assassin, he had an intuition that the Lu Changan he saw this time was even more dangerous than before.
The two were several feet apart, their lips moved, and they communicated for a moment through sound transmission.
From True Lord Jueying, Lu Changan learned about the reaction of the top leaders of the Wujian Sect and the Six Demonic Sects after the defeat in the Beast King Valley.
As expected, Lu Changan was listed by the Six Demonic Sects as one of the most threatening human monks in the Eastern Region.
The threat level is second only to the King of Black Mist with True Spirit bloodline.
According to True Monarch Jueying, the leaders of the six sects of the Demon Sect secretly sent envoys to the border of the Black Mist Mountains to reach some kind of peace agreement with the Black Mist Mountains.
More than ten years ago, True Lord Jueying obtained the head of True Lord Aoki and received generous awards from the Wujian Sect and the Demonic Alliance.
The leader of the Wujian Sect did not pursue the matter of True Lord Jueying colluding with Lu Changan and killing True Lord Aoki, and even expressed his appreciation.
The killer of Wu Jianmen is unscrupulous and pays more attention to results.
From the perspective of the Wujian Sect, Jueying Zhenjun gained military exploits in the fight between the two tigers, which was very clever. Both Lu Changqing and Qingmu Zhenjun were a serious problem for the Demon Sect.
Nowadays, True Lord Jueying's prestige in Wujian Sect has greatly increased, second only to the sect master and deputy sect master, and he has been favored and cultivated by the sect master.
"It turns out that the death of True Lord Jin Yue was influenced by fellow Taoist Jueying behind the scenes."
During the exchange, Lu Changan obtained unknown details behind the scenes.
When the Beast King Valley was defeated, faced with the huge threat of the human-faced dragon, the leader of the Wujian Sect rushed over in person, and no war broke out.
In order to relieve the pressure of the defeat in the Beast King Valley, the leader of the Wujian Sect decided to take action at the request and reward of the Beast King Elder.
Sneaking into the Wei Dao Alliance's forces and pretending to assassinate a Nascent Soul cultivator is risky.
Jueying Zhenjun was in charge of the Wei Dao League area and provided detailed intelligence to the leader of Wujian Sect at that time. Among the intelligence targets provided by Jueying Zhenjun, Jinyue Zhenjun was the most seriously injured and had the lowest execution risk.
"This is the Central Territory information that Lu Zhenjun needs. However, Qingmu Zhenjun has basically lost his trace in the Central Territory in recent years, and there is no specific news."
True Lord Jueying presented a jade slip.
"Bishan Sect...the great sect of cultivating immortals in the Central Region..."
Lu Changan took the jade slip of information and scanned it with his spiritual consciousness.
The intelligence includes information related to Lord Aoki, among which "Bishan Sect" is the focus.
After being promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, Aoki Shinjun was invited to join the Bishan Sect and practiced in the sect for more than two hundred years.
Including Qingmu, there are three Yuanying monks in the Bishan Sect.
In the past hundreds of years, due to the rise of True Lord Aoki, the Bishan Sect has become the most powerful immortal cultivation force in the Central Region, second only to the ten Xuanmen Sects.
Before leaving, True Lord Jueying hesitated and said:
"Has Lu Zhenjun come into contact with the 'faceless' of our sect?"
"Why do you say this? Isn't your sect's 'faceless' treasure always in the hands of the master of Wujian sect?"
There was a strange color in Lu Changan's eyes, and he said calmly.
"The 'No Face' of our sect is composed of two sides, Yin and Yang. The two sides are combined into one to be the complete 'Supreme Faceless'. During the drastic changes in the sect for thousands of years, one side was taken away by traitors and it is said that he fled abroad.
Zhou, has lost any news since then. Only a few senior officials in the Six Holy Sects know about this secret..."
Jueying Zhenjun revealed the unknown secret.
"Oh! There are other reasons."
Lu Changan nodded and did not continue discussing this topic.
Jueying Zhenjun's words may be meant to test, and he himself is not very sure.
Seeing that Lu Changan was noncommittal and had a dull reaction, True Lord Jueying showed a hint of disappointment.
True Lord Jueying did not dare to ask any more questions, and turned into a shadow of smoke and fled away.
Lu Changan watched the disappearing shadow and secretly calculated the cause and effect.
"Zhenjun Jueying is in charge of the intelligence infiltration of the Wei Dao League. He must pay attention to my information. Some vests may be exposed. Moreover, he has contacted me and the leader of the Wujian Sect many times at the same time. It is not surprising to find clues from this..."
Lu Changan doesn't want to explore this matter for the time being.
The Baihuan Mask he owned did have the feeling of being damaged and its functions were incomplete. At the level of Nascent Soul, facing monks of the same realm, the Baihuan Mask was much less effective.
Even if he now covets the other Wumian of the Wujie Sect Master, it is still very unrealistic.
The leader of the Wujian Sect, the Shenlong, is unpredictable, his movements are unpredictable, and his movement skills are extremely fast. Even if his fighting skills are better than others, killing people and grabbing treasures is several times more difficult.
…
Set off again and leave the territory of the Wei Dao Alliance.
Lu Changan banned the fluctuations of the Nascent Soul, used all his magic power, and relied on a quasi-fourth-order big bird puppet to fly.
This is done to prevent the process of approaching the middle realm from being sensed by True Lord Aoki.
This feeling will be greatly strengthened during realm breakthroughs and fierce fighting. For practitioners of Evergreen Gong, the closer their cultivation levels are, the stronger the pull of blessing will be.
Back then, True Lord Aoki banned the Nascent Soul's magic power and relied on the fourth-level roc to travel secretly to the Wei Dao Alliance.
The frame material of the quasi-fourth-level big bird puppet that Lu Changan rides comes from the fourth-level roc bird of Lord Aoki.
The great elixir of the fourth-level Pengniao, as well as the greatly replenishing organs, were given to Lord Diyan for practice. Essence, blood, abdominal skin and other materials were used as raw materials for the fourth-level spiritual ink and talisman embryo. Half a month later.
The quasi-fourth-level big bird puppet carried Lu Changan and approached the border area of the Seven Nations Alliance.
"The Demonic War in the Seven Nations Alliance has not ended yet and is currently in a stalemate."
Lu Changan looked at the front line of the Seven Nations Alliance and slowed down, taking care to avoid the roving monks from the Blood Spirit Gate and the Phantom Palace.
When traveling to the Central Territory, it is difficult to avoid the Demonic Battlefield of the Eastern Territory.
The longer detour is either deep in the Black Mist Mountains, or in the realm controlled by the Underworld Sect and the White Bone Palace.
It is very difficult to cross the demonic battlefield without disturbing any monks from the two camps.
In his early years, Lord Aoki went to the Wei Dao Alliance from the Central Region, but was discovered by the Demon Dao camp, and he had no choice but to kill him, exposing his traces.
Lu Changan now banned the Nascent Soul's magic power, and the power of his spiritual consciousness was restricted to a certain extent.
Fortunately, the senses are still stronger than most Yuanying monks, and combined with divination, most troubles can be avoided.
Entering the buffer area between the two camps, the risk of Lu Changan's puppet bird being discovered gradually increases.
When it was really unavoidable, Lu Changan used puppets and spiritual pets to kill the demonic monks who were in the way.
"It's better to start a war. Then it will be easier for me to fish in troubled waters and cross the borders of the Seven Nations Alliance."
Lu Changan frowned slightly and his speed on the road slowed down greatly.
During the confrontation between the two parties, the security was even tighter.
In buffering the border area, Lu Changan had to avoid the sight of both sides and hide from the eyes and ears of numerous warning restrictions, induction arrays, and various flying insects and birds.
Lu Changan can kill the demonic monks who get in the way, but what should he do if he encounters the monks from the Seven Kingdoms Alliance?
The Seven Nations Alliance and the Guardian Alliance are both alliances of forces in the Eastern Region that resist the invasion of demons.
The two parties secretly reached an agreement to assist each other, which can be regarded as an alliance.
Um?
Lu Changan sensed a familiar breath of Nascent Soul mana, which was on the side of the Dao Defender Alliance about a few hundred miles away.
"Princess Purple Fire Lord, Wang Feng."
Because he was familiar with the martial arts aura of Lihuo Palace, Lu Changan quickly confirmed the identity of the other party even outside the range of his spiritual consciousness.
His mind moved and he immediately made a plan.
With his Nascent Soul and mana limited, it would be too difficult for him to cross the Seven Kingdoms Alliance area without anyone noticing.
If the local forces of the Seven Nations Alliance cooperate and give the green light all the way, the difficulty will be greatly reduced.
…
Hundreds of miles away, floating in the palace building, distantly giving orders to the army of monks on the Seven Nations Alliance side.
Wang Feng, the Supreme Elder of Lihuo Palace, was sitting at the top of the palace hall.
In the deserted place, Wang Feng looked tired and stretched out his hand to rub the center of his brow.
The protracted demonic war made him physically and mentally exhausted.
The Xinli Fire Palace was rebuilt in a special location and its sphere of influence was quite special.
One is close to the border of the Seven Nations Alliance.
The second is that the Wei Dao Alliance supports the Seven Nations Alliance, and the most convenient route is close to the Lihuo Palace's sphere of influence.
Therefore, the demonic forces focused on blockading and targeting this battlefield.
Lihuo Palace alone cannot stop him, so he often requests reinforcements from the Seven Nations Alliance and makes friends with other Nascent Soul monks.
The Lihuo Palace was rebuilt and restored to its former glory. But today's suffering and the calamity of the devil are so torturous.
If you are not careful, all the efforts of the past two hundred years will be in vain, and everything will return to its original shape.
Even if he had to start all over again, Wang Feng had no better choice.
If Lihuo Palace did not bear certain costs and obligations, how could Lihuo Palace successfully rebuild the mountain gate and take root in the Seven Nations Alliance? Even when he gave birth to a baby, the big bosses of the Seven Nations Alliance tacitly supported him.
"Wang Zhenjun!"
A sound broke through the air outside the palace building, and a middle-aged man who had formed a pill flew in.
"What's the report?"
Wang Feng is wearing a purple and green robe, with a fair face and two strands of beautiful beard. He shows his calm demeanor, elegance and wisdom in front of outsiders.
"There is a mysterious monk from outside. He appeared at our border without any warning, claiming to be reinforcements sent by the Wei Dao Alliance."
Jie Dan’s middle-aged truthful report.
"Mysterious monk, reinforcements from the Guardian Alliance?"
Wang Feng felt that something was strange.
In recent years, the Wealth Alliance does have some spare capacity to provide support. However, most of them harass the Demons from behind during the war, which plays a certain containment role. Or they send supplies, which requires the support of the Seven Nations Alliance.
During the confrontation phase, it was the first time that reinforcements suddenly appeared on one's own side.
"Did you do anything to him?"
"Master Xuejian was about to capture that man, but he was shocked by his spiritual consciousness and secret technique. He didn't calm down for a long time."
The middle-aged Jie Dan said with an embarrassed expression.
Xuejian Zhenren was in the middle stage of pill formation, and his fighting skills were close to those in the late stage of pill formation. However, he was defeated and embarrassed, making the situation a little out of control.
Only then did he urgently come over to ask Wang Zhenjun for instructions.
"Invite him over quickly."
Wang Feng thought of something and immediately sent the order.
Not long after.
Under the "escort" of several Zhendan monks, a young man in blue with a majestic appearance and an arrogant expression entered the palace hall.
"You all stand back."
Wang Feng's eyes narrowed, and he immediately waved away the few True Alchemy cultivators surrounding the young man in blue.
One of them, a snow-robed real man with an ancient sword on his back, had a slightly pale handsome face, showing anger and dissatisfaction.
He is the contemporary genius of Gujian Mountain and a disciple of Yuanying Sword Cultivator, assisting Lihuo Palace in guarding the front line.
The Dan-forming monks of the Weidao League seemed to have a relationship with Wang Zhenjun. He had just acted according to the rules and suffered a secret loss, but Wang Zhenjun did not give any explanation or comfort.
…
"Senior Brother Nie, it is indeed you!"
In the palace hall, Wang Feng laughed heartily and was greatly surprised by the arrival of the young man in blue.
Over the years, he had some vague speculations about the identity of the so-called senior brother "Nie Yuan".
After all, there were too many coincidences in contact, time, and events. After Wang Feng thought deeply, he could inevitably see the clues.
However, guesses are just guesses after all, and Wang Feng is not completely sure yet.
When we meet "Senior Brother Nie" with this appearance, he cannot take the initiative to reveal it.
Otherwise, Wang Feng cannot guarantee whether the other party will still miss the fragile brotherhood.
"Senior Brother Nie came here personally to assist, and Junior Brother, on behalf of the Seven Nations Alliance, expressed his warm welcome and gratitude..."
Wang Feng cordially entertained Lu Changan, took out the fourth-level spiritual tea from his collection, brewed it himself, and poured water for Lu Changan.
"Haha, Junior Brother Wang misunderstood!"
Lu Chang'an drank the fourth-level spiritual tea and felt the beautiful aura of heaven and earth cleansing his internal organs, and he felt a sense of comfort reaching his soul.
"Senior Brother is taking the road to pass through the Seven Nations Alliance this time. I asked Junior Brother Wang for his identity and a pass token."
Lu Changan remained calm and quickly explained his intention.
The warm smile on Wang Feng's face couldn't help but embarrass him. His feelings were his own, and he was happy for nothing.
If Lu Changqing has the rumored strength to be comparable to that of the demon leader and is willing to support the Seven Nations Alliance, it will greatly ease his pressure and reduce the large number of casualties in Lihuo Palace.
Wang Feng did not refuse Lu Changan's request.
After a while, he took out a warrant, which contained the true king's divine consciousness brand and mana breath.
"Senior Brother Nie holds this warrant, and as a member of Lihuo Palace, he can successfully pass through the territory currently controlled by the Seven Nations Alliance."
"Junior brother Wang, please help me."
Lu Changan took the order from Zhenjun and expressed his gratitude.
He stood up to say goodbye.
Wang Feng's eyes twitched slightly and he smiled bitterly:
"Senior Brother Nie's magic power is far superior to that of Junior Brother. Since I'm passing by, can you help Junior Brother share the pressure?"
"Nie has important matters to deal with, so it's not appropriate to take action."
Lu Changan shook his head and refused.
It's not that he doesn't want to help.
But once there is a fierce battle, the fluctuations of the Evergreen Dao Fruit will be easily sensed by True Lord Aoki in the Central Region.
Of course, Wang Feng helped him a little this time, and with the brotherhood of plastic technicians, he couldn't completely turn a blind eye.
Lu Changan pondered and said: "What trouble does Junior Brother Wang have? When Senior Brother comes back next time, I will help you solve it on the way."
"The Blood Bat King, one of the six kings of the Blood Spirit Sect, can Senior Brother Nie help us deal with it?"
Wang Feng said in a tentative and deliberative tone:
"This blood-dwelling magical power is difficult to deal with, and it has been targeting Wang. The spirit-transforming blood bat has made Lihuo Palace miserable, with constant casualties, and no chance for self-cultivation and respite. If this continues, Lihuo Palace may have a crisis that will last forever..."
"Blood Bat King?"
Lu Changan thought for a moment and suddenly had an impression.
Back then, he ran away from Daqing and pretended to be Master Xiang. He was targeted by the Blood Bat King and put a mark on the quasi-fourth-level puppet.
"I don't ask Senior Brother Nie to kill this beast. I will be satisfied if I can help Junior Brother seriously injure it once and let Lihuo Palace relax for a few years."
Wang Feng was afraid that Lu Changan would feel embarrassed, so he quickly added.
The magical power of the blood path has strong self-protection ability. In the early years, the giant of the Seven Kingdoms Alliance in the middle Nascent Soul stage cut the Blood Bat King in two without threatening his life.
Lu Changan had no time to think and agreed:
"The Blood Bat King is of average strength. I'll just wait for my senior brother to come back and help you kill him."
"Thank you, senior brother!"
Wang Feng was overjoyed and excited, and bowed his hands.
But when he calmed down, he found that Senior Brother Nie's promise was a bit perfunctory and said too lightly.
Wang Feng fought against the Blood Bat King many times, but was always suppressed and beaten.
He knew very well that the Blood Bat King was a veteran powerhouse in the early stage of Nascent Soul and could not be easily solved.
Could it be that Brother Nie knows how to let go of pigeons?
As Wang Feng's thoughts turned, he found that the hall was empty.
"Junior Brother Wang, see you next time."
Lu Changan took his warrant and flew to the territory of the Seven Nations Alliance.
