Chapter 323 Dialogue with the Heavenly Master
Chapter 323 Dialogue with the Heavenly Master
Three Years Later.
Inside the secret room of the cave, Lu Chang'an, who was over 285 years old, installed the last part of the refined foot part on the lower limb part of the fighting assassin.
The eyes of the puppet assassin in the bucket hat glowed with a dark and cold aura, emitting soul fluctuations that were comparable to those of a human cultivator.
Shoo! Pfft!
In a flash of phantom, a shuriken came out of the hat puppet's sleeve, cutting through Lu Chang'an's middle Jindan stage mana shield.
Ding!
The remaining residual power and coldness of the sword in hand chopped on Lu Changan's arm, and the sound of gold and iron came from it, failing to attack further.
"Finally stepping into the threshold of the Third Order Upper Grade! If not for being a Third Order Upper Grade Refiner, the materials are almost not enough."
Lu Chang'an showed a smile on his face and let out a slight sigh of relief.
In the last four or five years, with the advantage of being a refiner, and by refining and transforming, the assassin puppets were finally elevated to a whole new level.
The strength of the assassin in the bucket hat has reached the threshold of the late JieDan stage, slightly inferior to Fang Zhen back then.
However, it was no problem to fight two mid JieDan stage.
In the short term, Lu Chang'an would have difficulty gathering the materials for a second Third Order Upper Grade Puppet.
Even if he had sufficient financial resources and a certain amount of power and connections to borrow, it would normally take several decades before he could gather the materials for a Third Order Upper Grade Puppet.
Even if he did, the refining would not necessarily be successful, and the risk of failure would not be small.
The other Charmed Lady puppet doppelganger also had the potential to be upgraded to a third-order upper-grade.
The illusionist tactics of the Charmed Lady's doppelganger relies mainly on the power of the soul of the second body, so there is no rush.
The two puppet doppelgangers joining forces was enough to suppress an average JieDan cultivator.
"Unfortunately, the materials to create the Alien Spirit Peacock Puppet are still a bit short. Moreover, with the existing puppet techniques and heritage base, the success rate is too low."
Lu Changan had some regrets, he had to find a way to get the core puppet inheritance of the Thousand Chance Sect, including the art of puppet formation.
......
After Lu Chang'an came out of the gate, his maid Yun Ling presented a jade slip.
"Mr. Xu, this is the latest information on the Devil Dao War sent by the Pavilion Master's order."
Nowadays, Lu Chang'an didn't have to do anything personally for the regular information on the Demon Road War.
The Xuan Yin Pavilion has a well-established intelligence organization, and due to Lu Chang'an, the Nei Yue Pavilion Master will pay special attention to this aspect of intelligence. The Devil Dao War has reopened for four or five years.
"That son of fortune of the Jing Kingdom, 'True Lord Lingyu', has been missing in action during this war."
Lu Chang'an checked the information in the jade slip.
Among them, that True Lord Ling Yu, who influenced the pattern of the war, was the target he focused on.
Although True Lord Lingyu has not yet appeared, the Beast King Valley has not invaded Jing Country on a large scale, but rather has placed some of its targets on the Heng Country, which is the eastern rear of the Beacon Country.
The Heng Kingdom is a small to medium sized Immortal Cultivation Kingdom similar to the Jing Kingdom, and does not have a fourth-order Spiritual Vein.
Back then, when Lu Changan formed the Immortal Golden Pill in the Moonwatch Immortal City, he met Granny Yan and Zhu Yuting, who were cultivators from the Heng Kingdom.
Lu Changan had used that place as an alternative to run away and dive into cultivation, but now it seems that it is hard to escape the fate of the demonic invasion.
"The old master of the Ao Yue Palace, 'True Lord Long Yue', died in battle on the battlefield of the Devil Dao and was killed by the Great Elder of the Beast King Valley."
After the restart of the Devil Dao War, this was the first news of a Defenders Alliance True Lord falling.
Lu Changan secretly thought, fortunately, more than ten years ago, Ao Yue Palace smoothly took over and gave birth to a new Yuan Ying True Lord, which was Xia Wen Yue's master.
Otherwise, the YuanYing inheritance of AoYue Palace would have been severed in today's environment.
"Zhang Tianfeng, promoted to the late stage of JieDan several years ago, seriously injured a well-known JieDan great cultivator of the Devil's Way a year ago, killed two True Dan cultivators of the Beast King Valley, and made a name for himself in the battlefield of the Devil's Way."
At the same time, Lu Chang'an was also informed of his late friend's information.
Nowadays, Zhang Tieshan, who had a great reputation in the Wei Dao Alliance, was ranked among the top three in the list of war achievements of JieDan cultivators!
For those cultivators who have accumulated a lot of war achievements, the Weidao Alliance gives heavy rewards.
The precious resources that can be exchanged on the war merit list even made Lu Chang'an feel tempted.
"Infant-bonding Spiritual Objects! The object of transformation!"
The topmost of them, the Yuan Ying level of chance, was extremely tempting to the conjugation cultivators, and the major clans were also eager.
The highest reward, an inferior Infant Transformation Pill!
Lu Chang'an's heart pounded when he heard about it, and he was almost tempted to acquire the battle merit.
After all, his own strength was among the best of the best in the JieDan stage. Liang Shaotian, Peacock Holy Maiden, and other top JieDan cultivators are no match for him.
"We can't fall for the Wei Dao Alliance's tricks!"
Lu Chang'an understood that the Wei Dao Alliance was trying to motivate cultivators to fight and kill the enemy, to alleviate the conflict and dissatisfaction of the middle and lower classes, and to give a little bit of hope for a promotion channel.
It is not enough to rely on forced conscription alone.
If we don't give some sweeteners, without any hope of promotion to the upper echelons, how would those middle and high level cultivators be willing to go to the battlefield to fight?
Lu Changan estimated that the Infant Transformation Pill and the Infant Formation Spirit would most likely end up in the hands of the big clan's Pillar Cultivators, and there is basically no hope for the casual cultivators.
Moreover, the best on the battle merit list will definitely be the key target of the Beast King Valley, and may even be targeted by the Yuan Ying True Lord.
......
Lu Changan's established plan did not waver!
In order to obtain more accurate intelligence.
After the late third stage puppet was first completed, he quietly left the Wind Elemental Kingdom and had the bucket-hatted assassin puppet enter the Liang Kingdom to meet with Xing Peng.
This time, Lu Chang'an got a shocking news.
According to Xing Peng, the Beast King Valley spent a large sum of money to invite the Infernal Sect's mysterious and supreme Faceless Sect Master.
The son of Jing Kingdom's Qi Luck may have been held back by the Infernal Sect Master.
The Master of Infernal Sect possesses the "Faceless" disguise treasure, which can transform into thousands of identities, making it impossible to guard against.
Over the past few hundred years, the Infernal Sect Master has made very few attempts, but as long as he makes an attempt, there will always be a YuanYing True Lord from a rival force who will fall, and among them, there is even a mid YuanYing stage.
"I don't know which one will win or lose in a collision between the Son of Qi and the Infernal Sect Master."
Lu Chang'an developed a hint of interest.
Unfortunately, the dueling game at this level was simply not something he could pry into.
Taking advantage of the trip back, the puppet doppelganger stabilized the "Compulsion God Prohibition" in Zhou Qingxuan's sea of consciousness.
Lu Chang'an's unique forbidding system had been perfected at the YuanYing realm, and it was difficult for ordinary True Lords to dissolve it.
There is good news and bad news for the Royal Beast Zhou Family. The good news is that the Royal Beast Zhou Family has given birth to a True Dan cultivator in recent years.
It must be said that the outbreak of war has made it easier for some of the upper level resources to circulate.
The bad news is.
Zhou Qingxuan, the Zhou Family's oldest ancestor, only had a few decades left in her life, and the original third-rank spirit beast that had suppressed the family was already old and eventually died on the battlefield in exchange for a sum of war merit.
Lu Changan had projected that Zhou Qingxuan was twenty years younger than himself, and would live at least until he was promoted to the late Jindan stage.
On the contrary, Fairy Shi, even after taking the Third Order Life Extension Pill, which extended her lifespan by twenty years, she only has more than ten years left in her lifespan today.
......
Returning to the Xuan Yin Pavilion Oasis Mountain Gate, Lu Chang'an continued to dive into his training, collecting materials to strengthen his Third Order Upper Grade Puppet.
Another three years passed.
Lu Chang'an's age came to 288 years old.
On this day, Fairy Qiu, who was out, brought back an unusual guest.
It was an elegant man with silver hair and snowy robes, walking side by side with Fairy Qiu, just like a divine couple.
"Pavilion Master, this is Mr. Snow Pine, an elder of the Snow Mountain Sacred Land."
In the past, the cold and clear Fairy Qiu, as if the winter snow melted, eyes flooded with tenderness and smiles.
Fairy Niyue gave Fairy Qiu a deep look and suppressed the unhappiness in her heart.
She naturally saw that the youngest True Dan female cultivator of Xuan Yin Pavilion was no longer a virgin.
As a True Dan Elder of the Xuan Yin Pavilion, she had taken the liberty of bringing someone from the Snow Mountain Holy Land of the Feng Yuan Kingdom back to the mountain gate.
"This Fairy Qiu was bewitched by the Celestial Master's ghost and can't distinguish between her priorities."
Before the duo arrived, Lu Chang'an generated a subtle sense and paid attention to this scene.
I can only say that the Heavenly Master's position is high enough, that the autumn fairy's previous attitude towards "Mr. Xu", are not cold, rather reserved and noble, and now even some elbows to turn outward.
"Mr. Xuesong please come in."
Niyue Fairy with a smile on her face, politely welcomed Mr. Xuesong to the main hall of Xuan Yin Pavilion.
No matter what, the Snowy Mountain Sacred Land and the Xuan Yin Pavilion have favors and maintain a good relationship.
The current Mr. Xuesong is a late stage Jiedan cultivator.
Inside the main hall, Fairy Niyue and Mr. Xuesong had a long chat alone.
Lu Changan didn't rush to probe with his divine sense.
Mr. Xue Song did not leave that day, but stayed overnight at the Xuan Yin Pavilion.
At night, Fairy Niyue found Lu Changan and explained Mr. Xuesong's intentions.
"Elder Snow Pine came over to talk about marriage and wants Xiao Qiu to become the Heavenly Master's concubine."
Fairy Nei Yue's face was worried and she didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.
If Fairy Qiu left, Xuan Yin Pavilion would have one less True Dan female elder.
Even though the bride price given by the Snowy Mountain Holy Land was generous, including a Crystal Condensation Pill.
"Saying marriage? This is a good thing, Xuan Yin Pavilion has found a big backer."
Lu Chang'an said in a relaxed tone.
He was half an outsider and was indifferent to this.
"At the same time, the Snow Mountain Sacred Land is willing to contribute to help the Xuan Yin Pavilion establish a mountain gate with a third-order upper-grade spirit vein. However, the Xuan Yin Pavilion will have to listen to the Snow Mountain Holy Land's orders and perform certain tasks."
Fairy Nei Yue added.
Upon hearing this, Lu Chang'an couldn't help but laugh lightly.
The Celestial Master is not taking a concubine, he wants the entire Xuan Yin Pavilion to become a subsidiary force of the Feng Yuan Kingdom.
Currently, the Xuan Yin Pavilion is rooted in the outer sect alliance region, which is relatively free and developing smoothly.
The Outer Sect Alliance is located at the edge of the tribal power of the Feng Yuan Kingdom, which is a newly developed desert territory.
It is a place where all kinds of cultivators from the three streams and nine religions converge, including the migrants from Feng Yuan's native land and fugitives from justice.
The Outer Sect Alliance does not have a fourth-order spirit vein, nor does it have a Yuan Ying True Lord.
However, behind the scenes, there are YuanYing True Monarchs from the two sects' realms who are secretly supporting them.
The Snowy Mountain Holy Land's influence on the Outer Sect Alliance is actually quite limited, and the latter only nominally belongs to the Wind Elemental Kingdom's sphere of influence.
The Snowy Mountain Sacred Land has limited influence over the Outer Sect Alliance, which is only nominally part of the Feng Yuan Kingdom's sphere of influence.
The existence of the Outer Clan Alliance has contributed to the prosperity of trade in Feng Yuan. As long as it does not affect their core interests, the Celestial Master turns a blind eye to it.
......
The next morning, Elder Cedar came to visit Lu Changan's cave. Lu Changan had expected this.
Elder Xuesong, representing the will of the Heavenly Master, would inevitably come to test his own footing.
At this time, we must not show our cowardice.
Lu Chang'an graciously welcomed Elder Cedar into the room and had a secret conversation in the tea room.
Elder Cedar's demeanor is elegant, and his snow robe is well-made, not stained with dust and dirt.
Even the tea served by Yun Ling, this person has to flick it to shake off the tiny bit of dirt hidden at the bottom of the tea cup.
Lu Changan suspected that this person has a cleanliness fetish.
"Mr. Xuesong, please taste the tea."
Upon hearing this, Elder Xuesong sipped a mouthful of spirit tea and frowned slightly before not dipping half a drop.
"What is the origin between Mr. Xu and the 'Off-Fire Elder'? For no reason at all, why are you looking after his descendants?"
Elder Xuesong put down his teacup and glanced at Yun Ling's departing direction.
A seemingly casual remark that hit the nail on the head.
Lu Chang'an sensed the hidden prying feeling at this time, but maintained a light and breezy expression.
"Elder Celestial Master has performed the 'Spirit Attachment Technique' and has come to visit, I am flattered."
Lu Chang'an was not polite and recognized the identity and reality of the Heavenly Master to his face.
The Xuesong Elder that the Heavenly Master has attached his spirit to is in the late Jiedan stage of cultivation, but at the critical moment, he can let the Heavenly Master's divine power descend through the air, and in a short period of time, he will be able to exert the strength of a YuanYing threshold.
"Mr. Xu, it is worthy of being a reclusive wonder, the poor Taoist's 'method of spirit possession' is difficult to detect under the YuanYing stage in a non-fighting state."
Elder Xuesong was slightly surprised and admitted frankly.
It turns out that the Xuesong Elder in front of him is the true will of the Heavenly Master of the Wind Elemental Kingdom.
"Mister Xu has been to the Outer Sect Alliance realm for many years, and I have never heard of the Celestial Master personally visiting this place. But is there an agreement with the YuanYing True Lords of the two sects' realms?"
Lu Chang'an asked curiously.
"Although there is no explicit agreement, this Heavenly Master has a tacit understanding with those two old monsters that well water does not offend river water."
Xuesong nodded.
There was another reason, leaving the tribal region of the Wind Elemental Kingdom had cut down on his magical powers and aptitudes.
Regarding this, most of the nearby YuanYing True Lords knew about it.
Liang is one of the closest Immortal Cultivation States in the Wei Dao Alliance to the Feng Yuan State.
The Leaving Fire True Lord back then had more or less some knowledge of the Heavenly Master.
This was also the reason why Lu Chang'an dared to face the person possessed by the Celestial Master directly.
The Celestial Master was also a Gou Dao practitioner, and was even more residential than Lu Chang'an, basically not leaving his acreage.
As long as he stays in the Snowy Mountain Holy Land and the hinterland of the Wind Elemental Kingdom, the Celestial Master can be compared to the middle stage of YuanYing, and no one in the surrounding YuanYing old monsters can threaten him.
If he left this area, there would be a certain amount of risk.
"Mr. Xu, still hasn't answered the question just now."
Cedar had just answered one of Lu Chang'an's questions and once again pursued the question.
According to his projections, the cause of this question might involve Lu Chang'an's followers' bottom line.
"The answer is simple."
Lu Chang'an smiled lightly and said truthfully:
"Yun Ling's past life was the reincarnation of my maid on Little Turtle Peak. Meeting again, just taking care of it in passing."
"Reincarnation?"
This answer, out of the celestial master's expectation, really some surprise.
Involving the secret of reincarnation and confirming the identity of a previous reincarnation is not something that an ordinary YuanYing can do.
As a fourth-order diviner, the celestial master can only roughly determine the identity of the past life by encountering the reincarnation of the deceased in person and sensing it, and then projecting it through divination.
Lu Changan, who is not a fourth-ranked diviner, can determine the identity of his past life.
I wanted to find out the root of Lu Chang'an, but the final answer made the celestial master face a heavy fog of heavenly chances.
"If the Celestial Master does not believe in it, in the case of a known answer and a clear Yun Ling's followers, it is not difficult to backtrack to confirm it."
Lu Changan was so confident, because this is the "Nine Seal Tablet", as well as the secret of reincarnation, the establishment of information barriers, divination and projection, there is a natural isolation.
If a celestial master follows this direction, he will only get deeper and deeper into confusion.
As long as they couldn't see through his followers, with the Celestial Master's caution, the wise man would be too scared to make a move to threaten Lu Chang'an. Moreover, Lu Chang'an now initially had the means to defend himself and run away in front of a YuanYing True Lord.
Even if the Heavenly Master personally visited the Outer Sect Alliance and his strength was greatly reduced, Lu Chang'an would not be so fearful that he would have no power to resist.
"The great world is full of wonders. Mr. Xu has opened the eyes of the poor Taoist."
The Celestial Master opened his eyes and after backtracking just now, he realized that what Lu Chang'an said was true.
He couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and the tone of his voice, was also a bit more humble.
After this projection, he was faced with the unfathomable fog of heavenly chances, and Lu Chang'an's followers could not be explored.
In this way, I am afraid that only the ten Xuanmen Sects of the Central Region have joined hands to lay out a plan that is possible.
"
The Heavenly Master is too generous. When it comes to divination, Mister Xu is a mountain to climb."
Lu Changan said politely.
He didn't have to pretend on purpose.
Even if he fooled the Heavenly Master, he still had to remain humble and low key.
Afterwards, the atmosphere of the small talk was pleasant, and both parties were like peers.
The Celestial Master's topic of conversation went towards the Xuanmen Ten Sects, trying to find out what Lu Changan was up to.
Lu Chang'an kept the topic of the "Ten Sects of Xuanmen" to himself, but said that he was a friend, not an enemy, of the Heavenly Master, and that he did not have any dealings with the Six Sects of the Devil's Path.
The conversation lasted for half an hour.
The Celestial Master realized that Lu Chang'an was very knowledgeable and his vision was at least at the level of YuanYing.
Lu Chang'an was able to tell us about the states outside of Qingzhou, and he knew some of the humanities and geography.
This makes the Heavenly Masters who stay at home all day long, feel inferior to him.
From this, he was sure that Lu Changan, even if he wasn't a member of the ten Xuanmen sects, he was a reincarnation of a YuanYing monster, and was by no means a good person.
......
That afternoon, Elder Xuesong excused himself and left without mentioning the matter of taking a concubine and making the Xuan Yin Pavilion a subordinate force.
Inside the cave, Lu Chang'an breathed a sigh of relief.
The first half hour of "laughing and joking" with the YuanYing Elder, only to feel the heart tired, every word must be careful, watertight.
If not for the fact that he really had the experience of being a YuanYing in his fourth life, and that his speech and insights were in line with his status, it would have been impossible for him to fool the Heavenly Master.
The kind of foundation, dan cultivator, no relevant experience and insight, can be YuanYing true monarch subdued picture book biography, is simply a joke.
When you really meet a YuanYing monster, a slight fluctuation in your state of mind and any loopholes in your words will be seen through at a glance.
This conversation, Lu Changan was informed of two important information:
First, the situation of the celestial masters is not as supernatural as one might think, but they sit on top of the world and watch the clouds rise and fall around them.
The Heavenly Master is not only afraid of the Six Sectors of the Devil's Way, but also has some far-reaching concerns.
At the same time, a few YuanYing old monsters of the two sects have their fingers in the border area of FengYuan country and pry into it.
The situation in the two sects is chaotic, and a few YuanYing old monsters can't stand it anymore and intend to migrate to FengYuan Country.
Lu Chang'an suspected that there might be important secrets in the Snow Mountain Holy Land for the outside world to pry into.
The forces of the two branches of the two sects on the side of the Outer Sect Alliance have the covert support of YuanYing Old Monsters.
However, the celestial masters are proficient in divination and basically do not leave the local area, so it is difficult for the YuanYing old monsters of the two sects' boundaries to find a breakthrough.
Secondly, it is about the core inheritance of the Thousand Chance Sect.
Regarding the details of the two sects' branches in the outer clans, the Heavenly Master knows everything.
Lu Changan sensed that the Celestial Master might want to get his own help and take the initiative to resolve crises in the future, rather than passively defending himself and staying out of the gate.
"The Thousand Mechanisms Sect branch on this side of the Outer Sect Alliance actually possesses quasi-fourth-order puppets, and also masters the third-order puppet army formation, so even if a YuanYing True Lord kills them, they will be able to maneuver around and withstand them."
"The branch of the Five Poison Sect even possesses a fourth-order poison, the Divine Soul Guile Poison, which can threaten YuanYing True Lords."
Understanding the undercurrents of the two branches of the sects, Lu Chang'an was surprised.
If Fang Zhen, who had first entered the middle Jindan stage and had suppressed the Jindan cultivator, thought that he could look beyond the Outer Sect Alliance and be invincible under the YuanYing stage, then he was very wrong.
Lu Chang'an suspected that the Celestial Master had divulged so much in the hope that he would be motivated to start a conflict with the two branches of the sects and cut down on the latter's strength.
But this is a kind of Yang scheme. Even if Lu Chang'an knew about it, he would still have to plot for the appropriate resources to increase his cards against the YuanYing True Lords.
Lu Changan planned to wait until the late third stage of Body Refinement or after he was promoted to the late stage of Jindan, then he would think long and hard about this matter.
Previously, the earlier chapters, found that some readers, the reincarnation thought too high-end, slightly involved in the skin, feel exaggerated, in fact, the specific is to look at the book's setting.
In the mortal world, when Han was at the stage of infancy, he also encountered a few reincarnated deceased people, as far as I can remember, there is the formation master Xin Ruyin, and a few others I forget.
In our country's classical mythology, such as Liaozhai, some female ghosts or scholar, not what the great cultivation, immortal, there are also renewed in the previous life. These are the secrets of reincarnation that are more grounded. In Journey to the West, the hell that controls the six paths of reincarnation is not that high. It's just the normal operation of the world, similar to the five elements.
The protagonist of this book, the golden finger of the Nine Seal Tablet, is the treasure of the rules of reincarnation, after becoming a high-level cultivator, the first touch of reincarnation of the skin, encountered the former life of the deceased, is also reasonable.
