Chapter 321: The Return of the Beacon Kingdom
Chapter 321 - Return of the Beacon Country
"By the way, my concubine examined the ancient books some years ago and found a relevant record of the 'Hearing Sea Pavilion'."
Fairy Master added at the end of her sentence.
"Listen to the Sea Pavilion?"
Lu Chang'an had neglected to explore information about this near-ancient sect over the years.
After all, the sect was not a power in the Great Green Earth Realm, and whether or not it existed today was a question that was difficult to draw attention to.
Fairy Shifu handed over a jade slip to Lu Changan, which not only contained a detailed map of the interior of the ancient ruins, but also ancient records related to the "Hearing Sea Pavilion".
Lu Chang'an was pondering over it.
"Listening to the Sea Pavilion" is an ancient sect located on the east coast of Tianyan Continent, with a history of at least 20,000 years.
At its peak, the clan had given birth to a God Transformation Heavenly Monarch, and was once the strongest hegemonic force in the coastal area, even intimidating the outer seas.
Even in normal times, the Hearing Sea Pavilion basically had YuanYing cultivators, and its strength exceeded that of any of the top clans on the Great Qing side.
The information recorded in the ancient books is separated by a long time, at least thousands of years, so the information may not be accurate.
Nowadays, the specific situation of Hearing Sea Pavilion is unknown.
The cultivation area where Listening to the Sea Pavilion is located is called Great Abyss, and the cultivation civilization is far more prosperous than Great Qing and Great Kun.
"Great Abyss?"
Lu Chang'an's known rough map of the Heaven Honoring Continent was obtained from the memories of his fourth life, which did not have the labeling of the previous life's Great Kun, but did have the labeling of the Great Abyss.
From this, it was presumed that the Great Abyss's Immortal Cultivation Civilization should be more than one level stronger than Qingzhou and Kunzhou, and belonged to the Earth Realm on the Heaven Honoring Continent.
Judging from the distance of the map, Great Qing is at least five or six boundaries away from the Great Abyss, which is very far away.
Lu Changan was puzzled, with such a long distance, it would be very difficult for the Hearing Sea Pavilion to establish a secret refuge in Da Qing.
If it was just individual Yuan Ying True Lords coming over, it would be possible. But judging from the scale of the ancient ruins above, there were more than just one or two YuanYing who came at that time, there were also some other cultivators.
"Could it be that there is a teleportation channel or a spatial rift between the two great realms?"
Lu Chang'an had obtained some of the memories of the Hundred Lodging Soul Compass.
The main soul compulsion came from the Central State of the Tianyan Continent, and by chance, it escaped through a spatial rift to this realm.
The Tianyan Continent is a vast and sprawling place, the birthplace of the immortal cultivation civilization in the human world, and the main area, since the ancient times, there have been some spatial cracks in various places.
Those space cracks, some are born naturally, some are left by ancient great powers, often accompanied by abnormal danger, in some forbidden places.
For example, Lu Chang'an obtained the Star Moon Jedi, the ancestor of the Star Moon Chamber of Commerce was chased by a strong enemy, and arrived at the Tianyan Continent unintentionally through a forbidden place overseas.
......
On that day, Lu Chang'an didn't spend the night in Fairy Master's cave.
Before parting, he took out an exotic treasure and gave it to Fairy Shi's adopted son, Shi Xiaochuan, as a gift.
At the top of the mountain in Nightless Town, Jiang Yichen, the host, took the initiative to bid farewell to Lu Changan.
Jiang Yichen mentioned something to Lu Changan about Shen Bixin's descendants.
After the death of Shen Bixin and her husband, her descendants were not as happy as they should have been. In addition, the demonic war swept through, and the original Tengxing Chamber of Commerce was torn apart.
After the Armistice, Shen Bixin's descendant, Song Xi, found his way to Nightless Town, hoping to be taken care of by Jiang Yichen.
Jiang Yichen and Shen Bixin severed relations for more than a hundred years, has long been disheartened, love is exhausted, gave a little profit, casually dismissed.
However, Lu Changan still owes Shen Bixin an agreement promise, did not repay.
The latter would have wanted to find the Evergreen real person, Jiang Yichen is just incidental.
Unfortunately, the Evergreen Master has disappeared for so many years, and it is hard to find any trace of him. Lu Chang'an recalled the last time he saw Shen Bixin at the Dan ceremony in Qingsha Bay, Jing Country.
At that time, Shen Bixin brought her son, Song Xi, along with her to pay her respects, and wanted Lu Changan to be her disciple.
Lu Chang'an did not want to be his disciple, but he could not forcefully refuse.
So, he gave Shen Bixin and her son two choices.
One, to promise a named disciple without much energy to preach.
Shen Bixin's son, in the future, before the foundation or dan, to find over, Mister Lu can give a chance to promote.
After weighing the options, Shen Bixin's mother and son chose the latter.
Ninety-six years have passed since the incident.
It is not that Lu Changan has broken the contract, but he has been in refuge for the past one year, and he has no chance to repay.
When Shen Bixin's descendants wanted to honor their promise, he was not in the Weidao Alliance and almost forgot about it.
"I'd like to trouble Fellow Daoist Jiang to contact Fellow Daoist Shen's descendant, one year later in Nightless Town, Mister Lu will honor the promise of that year."
Lu Chang'an entrusted Jiang Yuchen to contact, the latter as the number one casual cultivator in Liang, this matter is naturally not difficult.
He is currently not too keen on going to the Jing Country's Immortal Cultivation World.
Who knows, is that son of qi fortune from the Great Green Central Region still in the Jing Country?
In case he bumps into this person and he discovers his own secrets, then it would be more trouble than it's worth.
Fortunately, the cultivator from the Central Region who practiced the Evergreen Technique was not the mid YuanYing stage Lingyu True Lord.
If it was, at this distance, the Jindan Dao Fruit should at least have a vague sense of calling.
In addition, the Tian Luo Sect, which had a grudge against Lu Chang'an, was now stationed in the Jing Country, and had wanted and offered a bounty for Lu Chang'an in the early years.
Lu Chang'an had not forgotten the grudge from back then, and he would go back to settle it when the Sky Luo Ancestor's lifespan was at an end.
......
Two days later.
Lu Changan, who left Nightless Town, parted ways with Fairy Nei Yue.
Lu Chang'an had personal matters to attend to.
Fairy Nei Yue, on the other hand, went to revisit her hometown to look for the lost Xuan Yin Pavilion female cultivators, especially Liu Qing Yan, who had been promoted to True Dan.
Half a month later.
In the Black Mist Mountain Range, on top of the swamp where the ancient ruins are located, there is a large hall of formations.
Whoosh!
A Foundation Establishment youth in Golden Sun Sect attire passes through the identity verification at the entrance of the relic hall, pays the spirit stone, and enters the relic.
"There is only an aged True Dan cultivator sitting in the town, it seems that the Golden Sun Sect camp really didn't pay much attention to this place, and didn't fish out any significant chances or secrets."
Lu Chang'an disguised as a Foundation Establishment youth, secretly thought.
The Immortal Cultivation World has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, and there are ancient caves, relics, and miniature secret realms that have been unearthed from time to time in various parts of the world.
For the YuanYing Clan, these are not rare.
In the eyes of the outside world, it is suspected that the Evergreen Realist got the chance to form a dan here, and the formation inheritance that Fairy Shifu obtained belongs to the third level of chance.
Later on, the highest chance obtained by the sect's exploration was also of the third level.
Lu Chang'an revisited his homeland, the periphery of the ruins was flat, and the array formations and prohibitions had all been broken.
It took seven days.
Lu Chang'an explored every corner of the ruins, but there was almost nothing to be gained.
Nowadays, the ruins are more like an archaeological exploration site, where you can study the remaining ancient formations and occasionally find old objects from the recent past.
There are also a few less threatening prohibitions and low-ranking bugs and beasts, which are presumably left behind by the clan on purpose, to give the disciples experience and increase their experience.
"That miniature secret space, really no longer exists."
Lu Changan came to the center of the secret realm, when the hexagonal palace building treasury, completely turned into ruins.
The small space hidden on top of it had long since collapsed, causing a chain reaction that led to the destruction of all the surrounding buildings.
In the case of determining the exact location.
With the YuanYing's senses and eyesight, he could barely notice that there was a faint trace of space collapse in that void.
Lu Chang'an operated the art of divination, secretly projecting the traces of the Hearing Sea Pavilion, as well as the related cause and effect.
As a result, there was no resistance from the heavens, but the trigrams were blurred, and the distance was too far, so there were very few clues.
Lu Changan judged that due to the Xuan Teng's change of heart and being tracked down by the Transformation God, today's Listening Sea Pavilion, even if it exists, is still in decline. "On the side of the Liang Clan, at most, it digs up a bit of the humanistic history of the near-ancient clan, not knowing the real secrets, at least there is no information related to Xuan Teng."
"If there is really any aftermath, unless it is the heir of the Hearing Sea Pavilion seek over......"
After repeated probing, Lu Chang'an determined that there were no obvious traces left behind.
The collapsed point of that small secret space, although there were slight traces, but the Golden Sun Sect's YuanYing True Lord didn't know the exact location, so the probability of finding it wasn't high.
Even if they did notice it, they would not be able to associate it with Xuan Teng out of thin air.
Lu Changan basically put his heart down and left the Black Mist Mountain Range where the ancient ruins were located.
Half a day later.
Hundreds of miles away from the mountain range where the Ancient Ruins are located.
A broken stone pillar buried inside the mountain was filled with imperceptible spiritual patterns, which lasted for only half a breath before fading away.
The spirit pattern on the broken stone pillar would only appear once every ten days, transmitting some kind of invisible and obscure fluctuation.
......
In the blink of an eye, nearly a year has passed.
Lu Chang'an appeared in different capacities at the high level immortal cities in Liang Country and Beacon Country, including the supremely neutral Moonwatch Immortal City, purchasing resources.
Puppet materials of the upper third rank and body refining materials of the late third rank were rare and hard to find even in the vast Beacon Kingdom and even the transcendent neutral Moonwatch Immortal City.
In order to enhance his efficiency, Lu Changan not only participated in auctions, but also had his puppet doppelganger go to the black market to trade.
There were a lot of stolen goods in the black market, so there were inevitable risks in the trading process.
During this time, he encountered black-hearted traders and robbers.
Even encountered fishing law enforcement situation, just arrived in the hands of stolen goods, was the original home sect cultivators tracking, bizarre coincidence.
However, in the face of absolute strength, those plots and tricks are all floating clouds.
The puppet doppelganger and the ground rock rat were enough to solve the problem, and Lu Chang'an didn't even need to make a move.
After nearly a year of purchasing and trading, Lu Changan had successfully gathered all the remaining materials needed for the third-order top-grade puppets, and even had quite a bit of surplus.
One material might not be enough for a third-order top-grade puppet master, but more is better.
Fortunately, even if the refining of a high grade puppet fails, it will not be scrapped and some of it can be recycled.
Lu Chang'an was also a third-ranked upper-grade refiner, so he could refine the materials, which was conducive to strengthening and upgrading the puppet's grade.
On this day, Lu Chang'an arrived at the last stop of his trip.
Snow Moon City, Beacon Kingdom.
In the area of influence of the Aoyue Palace, the once-in-a-decade large-scale auction is underway.
This auction, there is no lack of Immortal Golden Dan and JieDan cultivators to be seen, the scene is hot.
"The Five Directions Robbery Transformation Stone! It is an excellent miraculous treasure to withstand the heavenly calamity of YuanYing, allowing those who have formed a baby to reduce their injuries and save mana in the heavenly thunder......"
"Seventy-five thousand...... seventy-seven thousand......"
"Eighty thousand spirit stones!!!"
"Are there any higher offers? This Transformation Tribulation Wonder Treasure, although it is a disposable consumable, is a rare and superb item, a strategic item comparable to a baby-ending spirit item!"
On the auction stage, the impassioned old man's voice resounded through the entire arena.
In one of the VIP rooms, Lu Chang'an watched silently and did not make a move.
He practiced Body Refinement and had a strong physical body and Jindan magic power, so there was no need for him to pursue a particularly good Lightning Transformation item.
As a consumable item, the cost is quite high.
Some Jindan cultivators who are not strong enough may be blasted half to death at the Heavenly Thunderbolt, which is why they need this item urgently.
For Lu Chang'an, the Infant Transformation Pill and Infant Formation Spiritual Objects had a higher priority.
Infant formation spirits are divided into several types, including enhancing the quality of mana, the strength of divine sense, and meditating and concentrating on the heart......
Among them, those that help to break the barrier and resist heart demonic tribulation are the rarest and most precious.
Lu Changan didn't make a move at this time, also to avoid attracting attention.
Bidding for the stone meant that someone was going to become a baby, so it was very high-profile.
Before that, he bid on a third-order life-extension pills, including the top of the third order, close to the fourth order of the treasure material, as good as it is. Due to the fact that there were JieDan cultivators and Jindan cultivators on the field, Lu Changan didn't let the bilocation puppets show their saints in front of people.
The auction was over, and all the cultivators dispersed in all directions.
"Sister Wen Yue, how was the harvest of this auction?"
In one of the VIP rooms, a number of female pandan cultivators with a cool temperament, like the bright moon, flew out.
Those are the high-ranking female cultivators of Ao Yue Palace, with noble status, enjoying privileges in Snow Moon City.
"That is Fairy Xuan Bing!"
"The Ao Yue Palace's innate dao body, Yuan Ying Seed!"
One of them, a female cultivator with a moonlight-white palace dress, attracted a lot of attention.
This woman is about twenty up and down, eyes like a cold pool in deep autumn, temperament ice clear as snow, slender waist, hair and waist, moth eyebrow seems to have a faint smoke sadness, as if the ice palace in the lone clear fairy.
Give a person a kind of refusal of the cold, as well as worldly sense of abstinence.
"More than a hundred years have not seen, this woman's temperament, there is such a big change......"
Lu Changan looked at her from afar and flew away from Snow Moon City without lingering.
He speculated that Xia Wen Yue's change in temperament was influenced by her cultivation technique and the yin and yang environment in which she grew up in Ao Yue Palace.
Lu Chang'an had not seen any Ice Fairy in the Immortal Cultivation World.
Lu Chang'an had not seen the ice-beautiful fairies in the Immortal Cultivation World before. But the coldness of the Cold Jade Fairy was partly a mask to disguise her identity and reject some suitors.
At this moment, Xia Wen Yue, that kind of lonely and ice-cold temperament, is really from God to form, through the bones of the coldness.
After a hundred years of meeting again, Lu Changan had a trace of strangeness.
"However, this woman's cultivation progress is slightly faster than expected......."
Lu Chang'an was satisfied with this.
Xia Wen Yue was promoted to JieDan about forty to fifty years ago.
Now, she has reached the peak of the early stage of JieDan and is not far from the middle stage.
This kind of cultivation catching up speed is quite normal for top geniuses.
Because, the later the realm, the longer the cultivation time required.
For example, for Lu Chang'an to cultivate from the early stage of JieDan to the middle stage, it would take one armor.
Xia Wen Yue, on the other hand, cultivated from Foundation Establishment to Endurance in one armor, and was in the same major realm as Lu Chang'an.
Lu Chang'an's first Dan formation was a few years later than Xia Wen Yue's Foundation Establishment, and his three subsequent Dan transformations were delayed by a few more years.
With Xia Wanyue's current cultivation progress, Lu Changan estimated that by the time he was promoted to the late Jindan stage, Xia Wanyue had at least stepped into the middle Jindan stage for many years.
......
A few days later, Lu Chang'an left the Beacon Country Immortal Cultivation Realm, harvesting a wealth of materials, including the Third Stage Life Extension Pill, and returning home fully loaded.
Seeing Xia Wen Yue at the auction was just a coincidence.
In the Ao Yue Palace's sphere of influence, he learned of an important event.
Xia Wen Yue's master, the Immortal Golden Pillar of that year, has now been promoted to the position of Yuan Ying True Monarch and has taken over the position of Palace Master.
The old Palace Master has a short lifespan and was heavily injured in the demonic battlefield, his magic power has greatly diminished and he has retired to the second line.
In this case, the Ao Yue Palace can be considered to have successfully completed the succession of Yuan Ying True Monarchs, and there is no discontinuity.
One month later, Lu Chang'an returned to the Nightless Town on the eastern border of Liang.
In the guest room at the top of the hill in Nightless Town, Shen Bixin's descendants have been waiting for many days.
