Chapter 287 - Peacock Holy Maiden
Chapter 287 - Peacock Holy Maiden
Lu Chang'an arrived at the underground stone hall.
Taking out a few ancient copper coins, he prepared to project the source of the crisis with all his might.
Divination wonders can increase the accuracy of the projection.
According to the records, the shells of old turtles that are hundreds or thousands of years old can increase the ability of divination.
Even, it has the effect of shielding the heavenly chances.
At the same time, the Xuan Shui Turtle in the neighboring room shivered and subconsciously shrunk its head into its shell.
"Beast King Valley?"
A moment later, Lu Chang'an, who had finished his projection, frowned slightly.
The results of the divination pointed to something too generalized.
In the era when the Beast King Valley invaded the Wei Dao Alliance, most of the dangers for cultivators, either directly or indirectly, were related to the Beast King Valley.
The results of divination are vague and inaccurate.
Often the things involved, or the realm of the practitioner, are clearly beyond the skill level of the diviner. When it comes to one's own safety, one must find out the reason.
Small bad trigrams, although the danger is not particularly large, life-threatening probability is less than 30%, often about 10% of the threat.
But in Lu Changan's eyes, even if it is a one in a thousand threat to life, we must pay attention to it.
Divination again.
Lu Changan executed the Book of Circumstantial Pushback, not sparing his life span to project a more accurate source.
Fracturing his life span allows him to forcefully project a higher level of destiny.
Lu Changan had a long lifespan and didn't care about losing a year or two.
In the past seven years, he had gotten another Second Grade Fine Life Extension Pill, which extended his life by nine years.
His total lifespan reached 1134 years.
After consuming about two years of longevity, Lu Chang'an got a more precise clue to the trigrams:
"Xuan Shui Turtle?"
Lu Chang'an was stunned for a moment and fell into thought.
Beast King Valley, Xuan Shui Turtle.
The two trigram results were enough to make Lu Chang'an think of many things.
"The Beast King Valley is the ancestor of the Imperial Beasts, and the Xuan Shui Turtle's abnormal growth rate, forming a half-step Jindan. Perhaps, it attracted the interest of the high-ranking cultivators of Beast King Valley."
It is reasonable for a high-ranked beast master to be interested in the Xuan Shui Turtle.
Back then, when the Xuan Shui Turtle formed the Golden Pill, Lu Chang'an deliberately pressed his hand a little bit in order to reduce the risk, but he didn't want to attract trouble.
The big turtle has the worst conditions for pandemonium and does not have a decent pandemonium spirit.
If it were to form the Immortal Golden Pill.
Not only the high-ranking beast masters of the Beast King Valley, but also the Golden Sun Sect, the master of the Liang Kingdom, would be afraid that they would be moved to cause trouble for Lu Chang'an.
"Check for me! Which high-ranking cultivator of the Beast King Valley is the one who has taken a fancy to the Xuan Shui Turtle."
Lu Changan immediately contacted Xing Peng.
......
The next day, Lu Chang'an met Xing Peng.
"The Xuan Elder behind Mister Lu, who has been promoted to the YuanYing stage, has projected Mister Lu's crisis. Beast King Valley, there are high level cultivators people staring at Lu Mou and the Xuan Shui Turtle......"
"In my authority, temporarily do not know the reason."
Xing Peng was informed of the cause, and was a bit confused for a moment, without a clue.
He promises that he will try his best to help Lu Changan investigate.
Fragrant master's authority is not enough, he has a chance to find out more confidential information with the help of his cousin's connections.
Half a month later, Xing Peng hurriedly contacted Lu Chang'an to report the results of his investigation.
"Mr. Lu, you are on the Beast King Valley's special attention list."
Xing Peng's expression was grave, amazement in his eyes.
"Special Attention List?"
"This is the target for the Beast King Valley's war invasion for the Infernal Sect to focus on. The characters on the list will be the target of the Sacred Sect's focused surveillance, and when the Beast King Valley hits Liang in the future, it will be......"
Xing Peng had a bit of a heart and did not go on.
Lu Chang'an's heart fluttered, understanding the ultimate consequences.
The Beast King Valley has its eyes on Lu Chang'an, and when it reaches Liang, it will be targeted and want to capture and kill him.
Before that, let the Infernal Sect focus on surveillance, and not let him escape in advance.
"Who is the person behind, can you find out?"
Lu Chang'an said in a deep voice.
"At present, I have already found out, I am investigating. Because of the fear of alerting the rightful owner, I am being cautious and slow in my investigation."
Involving the Beast King Valley's high-ranking beast masters, Xing Peng did not dare to take it lightly.
If the Sacred Sect knew that he had become Lu Chang'an's lapdog and betrayed the Sacred Sect's information, Xing Peng's fate would be tragic.
"Good, take your time to investigate and don't alert the Beast King Valley. "
In the short term, Lu Chang'an doesn't have to worry about his danger.
The Beast King Valley would need to fight its way to the Liang Immortal Cultivation World before it could pose a threat to Lu Chang'an.
Lu Chang'an's original plan, as long as he doesn't go to the battlefield and the Devil Dao doesn't hit the Liang territory, he will stay in the Golden Cloud Valley to bitterly cultivate and hibernate to enhance his strength.
If not for the divination, Lu Chang'an would have been kept in the dark at this moment.
The Beast King Valley's special attention list, with Xing Peng's authority, can't be seen under normal circumstances.
If he didn't know this information, his future escape would not be smooth and he would most likely face the threat of the Beast King Valley.
Lu Chang'an was glad that transforming the memories of a Yuan Ying True Lord greatly increased his margin for error. A mere third-order divination discipline allowed Lu Changan to save for a rainy day and clarify potential threats.
"In the future, I will spend some time practicing the art of divination."
Lu Changan made up his mind.
Nowadays, he practiced a lot of skills on the side, and even though he had a lot of free time, his energy was limited after all.
There must be a priority.
The art of divination must be prioritized.
Things such as alchemy, weaponry, these can be prioritized later, making trade-offs.
If we can't find the treasure talisman inheritance in the future, even the talismans can be lowered in priority.
......
Half a year later.
Xing Peng carefully investigated and the truth finally came out.
"Mr. Lu, the Beast King Valley's 'Peacock Sacred Maiden' has taken a fancy to your Xuan Shui Tortoise and the cultivation method. I'm afraid this matter is a bit troublesome."
Xing Peng took a deep breath, his eyes showing scorn.
"Peacock Saintess?"
Lu Chang'an took the jade slip handed over by Xing Peng and checked the detailed information.
Soon, Lu Chang'an's face sank and looked ugly.
Peacock Holy Maiden, Dao name Peacock Realist, late Jindan stage cultivator.
This woman is the contemporary Yuan Ying Seed of the Beast King Valley, ranking in the top three in the inheritance sequence.
The Peacock Holy Maiden possesses two third-order spirit beasts, one of which is a five-colored peacock with a heavenly bloodline.
The reason for the Dao name Peacock.
One is a peacock spirit bird with a heavenly quality bloodline.
Secondly, she is very beautiful, comparable to a peacock's voluptuousness, and her posture is famous in the Six Holy Sects.
Moreover, she came from a good background, being the Yuan Ying True Lord's own granddaughter. It can be described as the proud daughter of heaven, as noble as the peacock's pedigree.
"The Peacock Holy Maiden also has a Xuan Shui Turtle? Is it a male or female?"
Lu Changan's face was grim as he asked.
"It is a female."
Xing Peng replied in a low voice, "The Peacock Holy Maiden's Xuan Shui Turtle, more than two hundred years old, invested in quite a few heaven and earth spirits, and only stepped into the late second stage a few years ago."
Lu Changan's Xuan Shui Tortoise, on the other hand, was male.
"More than two hundred years, late second stage, the growth rate is already beyond that of an ordinary Xuan Shui turtle. However, it is slower than a large turtle."
Lu Changan's eyes flickered, and with the eyesight of a Yuan Ying True Lord of the present time, he understood why the Peacock Holy Maiden, was interested in his Xuan Shui Tortoise and the cultivation method.
The normal growth of the Xuan Shui turtle is slow, and if it is raised, the foundation is weak, and the quality of the future dan will also shrink significantly.
It is difficult to have both speed and quality.
Unless one invests in a rare heaven and earth spirit.
Lu Chang'an's Xuan Shui Turtle not only grows fast, the quality of its conjugation is also very good, without any shrinkage.
The Peacock Holy Maiden, as a beast expert, just happens to have a Xuan Shui Tortoise, so it is inevitable that she will be interested in the comparison between the two.
With just one sentence, she put Lu Chang'an on the Beast King Valley's special attention list.
"Mister Lu is behind the battlefield and his reputation is limited to the Liang Immortal Cultivation World. How could the Peacock Holy Maiden of the Beast King Valley be concerned about Mister Lu's spirit pet?"
"But you, Infernal Sect, provided the information?"
Lu Chang'an was a bit puzzled, a big shot like the Peacock Saintess wouldn't pay attention to him for no reason.
Being watched by this Peacock Holy Maiden, Lu Chang'an also felt quite pressurized.
He couldn't fight, and he couldn't fight against his background.
The Peacock Holy Maiden is also a Jindan, and her late-stage cultivation is far superior to Lu Changan's.
The Peacock Holy Maiden is also a Jindan.
The quality of her spirit pets is also not as good.
Even a spirit beast of the same rank bloodline, under the tutelage of a beast expert like the Peacock Holy Maiden, is stronger than Lu Chang'an's spirit pet.
Among the late JieDan cultivators, the Peacock Holy Maiden's strength was also top-notch.
In the Wei Dao Alliance, it is estimated that only Liang Shaotian of the same cultivation level is barely qualified to touch it.
......
"The Infernal Sect's intelligence will only be reported to the upper echelons level by level, it will not privately contact the cultivators of other sects in the Sacred Sect, otherwise it is against the rules of the sect."
"Regarding this matter, I found clues in my investigation. The person who reported Mr. Lu's situation to the Peacock Sacred Maiden could be the Yellow Wolf Realist of the Ten Thousand Beasts Chamber of Commerce."
Xing Peng spoke in a respectful tone and analyzed.
"Yellow Wolf Makoto!"
A stern aura flashed in Lu Chang'an's eyes.
It's probably this crooked businessman. The Yellow Wolf is good at speculation and capturing people's hearts.
Back then, Fu Xuemei, who had traded with him, was later nowhere to be found.
Xing Peng had speculated: many years ago, the Chamber of Commerce of Ten Thousand Beasts might have been a small branch of the Beast King Valley that was separated from individual cultivators.
This kind of inside information was known to almost no one in the several countries of the Wei Dao Alliance.
Lu Chang'an had no difficulty imagining that the Yellow Wolf Realist sold his information to the Peacock Holy Maiden in order to defect and curry favor with that noble Holy Maiden and find a backer in the Beast King Valley.
The Yellow Wolf real person easily got the benefits.
Doing so, however, brought Lu Chang'an trouble and hidden dangers.
This is the reason for the small evil sign.
Yellow wolf real person!
Lu Chang'an memorized this treacherous merchant in his heart.
This person's cultivation at the early stage of True Dan was counting on him behind his back?
The Peacock Holy Maiden, Lu Chang'an can't do anything in the short term, and the other party hasn't acted on it yet.
This harmful trader, must find an opportunity to retaliate.
If not for his skill in divination, Lu Chang'an could have been caught in a ditch.
"Mr. Lu, regarding this matter, I have a proposal."
Xing Peng hesitantly opened his mouth.
"Speak."
Lu Chang'an gave him an unexpected look.
"The Peacock Sacred Maiden is a proud person and is considered reputable in the Sacred Sect. If Mr. Lu hands over the secret cultivation method, the Holy Maiden will return the favor. When the Beast King Valley strikes the Liang cultivation world in the future, with the Peacock Holy Maiden's care, she will be treated favorably."
Xing Peng bowed and carefully said.
He knew that these words might upset Lu Chang'an.
But the Six Sects of the Devil's Way, sooner or later, will pour out the Wei Dao Alliance.
Lu Chang'an was being targeted by the Peacock Holy Maiden again, and this was the easiest way to turn the danger into a victory.
"You mean, let me go and hug the Peacock Sacred Maiden's thigh just like the Yellow Wolf Reality?"
Lu Chang'an looked at him with cold eyes.
"This...... villain is not what I mean."
Xing Peng wiped his cold sweat.
Lu Changan secretly slandered, you think I do not want to hold the thigh?
But the situation does not allow.
Xing Peng's proposal is indeed a very favorable choice.
Not only does it neutralize the threat, but it can also find a backstage in the Six Sect of the Devil's Path.
However, the secret of cultivating the Xuan Shui Turtle involves the Evergreen Technique and the Xuan Tian Gourd Vine.
Lu Chang'an had no choice.
He could only stand against the Peacock Saintess and the Beast King Valley.
The essence of all positional disputes in the Immortal Cultivation World is for the sake of benefits, not for the sake of right or wrong.
......
After knowing the source of the crisis.
Lu Chang'an began to prepare two plans.
The first one, naturally, is the runaway plan.
This was a plan that had been in preparation for a long time, but now it needed to be more advanced to deal with all kinds of threatening variables.
In the program, waiting for the fourth lighting of the Nine Seal Tablet, this point remains unchanged. Unless the demonic path enters Liang's territory.
The topmost devil path sect in Da Qing must not be taken lightly.
Lu Changan knows divination and projection, there must be an even better divination master in the Sacred Sect.
Although the Xuan Tian Gourd Vine has the quality of shielding heavenly chances, it is mainly confined to itself to avoid being projected into the location by great powers.
Lu Changan's own grudges and karma are beyond the control of the Xuan Heavenly Gourd Vine.
Even the Xuan Tian Gourd Vine is not completely invincible with its ability to shield itself from heavenly chances and projections.
If the top cultivators, such as the Harmonious Way, Mahayana level projections, and there are divination wonders complementary, may not be unable to project to the clues.
The second plan is to take revenge on the Yellow Wolf.
An early stage of True Dan, seemingly simple, handed over to the third-order mid-range ground rock rats to have a good time, handily resolved
"The Yellow Wolf real person reported my information to the Peacock Holy Maiden, if this person died in an inexplicable manner, it may alarm the Peacock Holy Maiden and create associations."
Lu Chang'an dismissed the option of simple and rough killing.
At this time, although the Peacock Holy Maiden was concerned about him, she did not pay special attention to him and regarded him as a tricky character.
Lu Chang'an couldn't contribute to his importance in the Peacock Holy Maiden's mind.
In this way, there are only two options for a sound revenge:
One, find a backstabbing murderer.
Second, when running away in the future, kill the Yellow Wolf Realist by the way.
However, Lu Chang'an ultimately chose another line of thought: Report the crooked businessman!
By allowing the identity of the Yellow Wolf Realist's mole to be exposed, the Wei Dao Alliance would naturally move to eradicate this tumor.
Previously, Makoto Yellow Wolf had gone to the Imperial Beast Zhou Family to turn against them, indicating that he had already defected to the Beast King Valley.
There must be more than one target for similar actions, more or less leaving traces.
The Beast Chamber of Commerce has more than one or two enemies in the Jing Kingdom, and the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce is only one of them.
It is not unusual for Yellow Wolf to make a mistake and expose the identity of the mole.
After determining the program of reporting, Lu Changan did not act immediately.
First, he would delay for two years to lower his suspicion, and let Xing Peng secretly collect evidence and information on the Yellow Wolf Realist.
......
Two years later.
Lu Chang'an was over 206 years old, and nearly thirty years had passed since he had formed the Golden Dan.
On this day, the underground stone hall.
Gu Gu!
Lu Changan was immersed in the boiling hot black medicinal pool, his entire body's muscles swelled and took on the color of dark copper, and pieces of polished and shiny golden patterned discs surfaced on the surface of his body, exuding terrifying physical qi and blood power.
"Turning to the third stage of the Golden Luo Hegemony Body consumes too much precious materials and elixirs, twice as much as the Hundred Forging Vajra."
Lu Changan's body was rapidly absorbing the medicinal power from the pool liquid, and he couldn't help but feel a bit of flesh pain.
Impacting a third-order mid-grade puppet and switching to a more advanced body refining skill were all bottomless pits that consumed spirit stones and materials.
The Golden Luo Hegemony Body is the best body refining technique for non-pure body cultivators in the memories of the fourth life.
This body refining technique, on top of being more than 20% stronger than the Hundred Forged Vajra across the board, also has an additional characteristic.
It has a strong resistance to negative spells, including some curses.
For example, sonic spells that stun people; some freezing ranged spells that drastically slow down a cultivator's movement speed.
The Golden Luo Heavy Body can resist such negative effects to a great extent.
Negative effects below the third rank are basically exempted.
The disadvantage is that it consumes twice as many rare materials as the Hundred Forged Vajra.
Nevertheless, Lu Chang'an felt that it was worth every penny.
The cost of achieving excellence in anything is not linear for every point of improvement.
The characteristics of the Jin Luo Hegemony Body strengthen the ability to defend oneself.
"The time is ripe... I've already gathered some of the handles about the Yellow Wolf Realist and the Ten Thousand Beasts Chamber of Commerce."
Lu Chang'an got up from the medicinal pool, dried his body and changed his clothes.
With a movement of his mind, the soul shadow of the peak JieDan of the Nine Seal Tablet's second life descended.
The purple-robed True Lord's shadow of the fourth life had already lit up for the most part.
Wearing the Hundred Illusion Mask, Lu Changan's simulated cultivation realm reached the late JieDan stage.
......
The following two months.
Lu Changan's simulated Late JieDan Major Cultivation first went to the northern part of the Beacon Kingdom.
At the sub-residence of the Beacon Kingdom's Defense League, Lu Changan, in the capacity of a mysterious Late JieDan Major Cultivator, left an anonymous report letter to the real-life principal of the residence.
After that, he went to the border of the Jing Country and left the same letter to Liang Shaotian's pseudo-dan disciple, Miss Wei, at the Immortal City's workshop under the jurisdiction of the Demon Cult.
Lu Changan confirmed from Xing Peng that the Xuan Yin Sect had not been successfully turned against by the Infernal Sect, but instead had actively participated in the fight against the Devil Sect.
Therefore, he left a letter of report to the Xuan Yin Sect as well.
The Wei Dao Alliance, after all, is an alliance assembled by various countries, and is relatively inefficient.
The Xuan Yin Sect is located in the Jing Kingdom, and is powerful enough to be executed efficiently.
Whether it's Sect Leader Liang Shaotian or his disciple Li Hai, it's easier to kill the Yellow Wolf Realist.
After reporting the Yellow Wolf Reality, Lu Chang'an returned to Golden Cloud Valley and waited to see what would happen.
Even if this matter failed, Lu Chang'an had nothing to lose.
If it succeeds, he can use the knife to kill others and eliminate the Yellow Wolf.
The one who left the letter is a late stage JieDan cultivator, it has nothing to do with Lu.
Lu Chang'an had been through several lifetimes and was well-read, and knew that the identity of the whistle-blower must be kept secret!
Otherwise, a whistle-blower in the morning, less than the evening, the person concerned may know the identity of the whistle-blower.
Lu Chang'an never thought that his simple hand of killing with a borrowed knife had changed the pattern of the Devil's Way invasion war. A few months later.
A few months later, the war report came from the front line.
Chen and Jing countries, at the same time, there are many Immortal cultivation forces that have turned against the Weidao Alliance.
The situation in Chen is even worse.
There is more than one late stage JieDan cultivator leading the charge.
Two Immortal Cultivation Clans and a dozen Immortal Cultivation Families defected at the same time, and together with the invading forces of the Devil's Path, it almost caused the entire Chen Kingdom to fall!
The Chen Country Tian Luo Sect, with considerable losses, withdrew to the Jing Country Immortal Cultivation Realm according to the original plan.
The Jing Country also had a defection of the Immortal Cultivation Forces.
The Chamber of Ten Thousand Beasts is one of them.
However, the Jing side reacted faster.
In particular, the Xuan Yin Sect was the first to eliminate the Ten Thousand Beasts Chamber of Commerce.
Most of the top officials of the Chamber of Beasts were killed and some of them were captured.
The Yellow Wolf's spirit beasts were all killed in battle, and he was seriously injured, losing his arm.
In the end, with his secret technique and a third-order top-grade recluse talisman, he barely managed to escape from the siege, and now he is being hunted down and killed.
"Hmph, counting on Mister Lu? Let's give you a taste of what it's like to have a broken family and a dead body."
Even though he didn't kill the Yellow Wolf Realist, Lu Chang'an had a mouthful of bad anger in his heart.
According to the information sent by Xing Peng, Huang Wolf lost half of his life because he exposed his identity too early, causing the Infernal Sect's plan to be launched prematurely, and failed to achieve the desired effect.
The Yellow Wolf's connections were extensive and he was unusually active, and he implicated many forces in his rebellion, forcing the Infernal Sect to act earlier.
Even if he escaped to the devil's territory, the Yellow Wolf is still a sinner, and will not end up in a good place.
"It seems that within the Wei Dao Alliance, it has also been infiltrated by the Infernal Sect."
Lu Changan concluded from the simultaneous outbreak of rebellion in Chen and Jing Kingdoms,
The whistle-blowing letter he sent to the Wei Dao Alliance was presumably discovered by the Infernal Sect's mole before the senior management discussed the investigation and prepared for action.
The most disappointing country is the Chen Kingdom.
Tian Luo Sect, Chen country Xie, centrifugal in their own cultivation world, by the devil's forces infiltrated too much.
The efficiency in calming down the civil unrest is far less than the weaker Jing Kingdom.
Now, Chen has lost its defense.
The Tian Luo Sect took the remnants of the Chen Immortal Cultivation World and retreated to the Jing Country to fight against the demonic tide with the Xuan Yin Sect, the Merchant Alliance, and the three major sects of the Jing Country.
"The Chen Kingdom, it's too incompetent."
Lu Changan was disappointed once again.
The Chen Kingdom's Tian Luo Sect, the Xie Clan, was rampant and heavy-handed internally, but its external wars were even worse than the much weaker Jing Kingdom.
As a result of the loss of Chen Kingdom, Jing Kingdom, a small and medium-sized Immortal Cultivation Kingdom, has become the frontline in the fight against the Devil's Path.
The western side of Liang is adjacent to Jing.
The Golden Cloud Valley, again, happens to be in the western part of Liang's Immortal Cultivation Realm.
Lu Chang'an realized that the monstrous wave of demonic invasion was no longer far away from Liang's Golden Cloud Valley.
