Chapter 331 - Three Hundred Years of Immortal Cultivation

Chapter 333 - Three Hundred Years of Immortal Cultivation

One year later, Golden Cloud Valley.

The Fourth Order Illusion Formation enveloped the entire Great Sun Peak.

The aura of heaven and earth fluctuates violently, and the cold water vapor steams up, condensing black water clouds in mid-air.

Drops of light black water droplets fell down, heavy and incomparably heavy, smashing a water tank-sized crater on the ground.

A few feet wide dark green turtle, pupils of dark green, gulping water vapor, low whine, accompanied by the sound of muffled thunder.

Until its spiritual power climbed and broke through a certain critical point, those small-scale aptitude anomalies disappeared.

"Master, the Great Turtle has broken through."

The Earth Rock Rat cast an earth spell to repair the traces left on the main peak by the Xuan Shui Turtle's promotion to the mid-third stage.

"Well, take it down there to consolidate."

Inside the quiet room of the cave, Lu Changan surrounded himself with multiple divination wonders and frowned slightly.

He did not show any surprise due to the breakthrough of the Xuan Shui Turtle.

After absorbing the residual innate turbid qi of the Xuan Tian dead things, the Xuan Shui Turtle's bloodline aptitude and cultivation progress have broken the shackles of the original race.

A normal Xuan Shui Turtle will take four to five hundred years to cultivate to the third stage, let alone after the third stage.

However, the innate turbid qi also brings some negative effects, the Xuan Shui Turtle's temper is more irritable than before, and there is a hint of hostility in its temperament.

In the past, Yun Ling's constant companion was able to calm it down and neutralize it. In recent years, there are signs of relapse.

If Lu Chang'an accompanies him more often, together with Evergreen's magic power to pacify him, it will also have an effect.

But he has many other skills, so he doesn't have that much time to spare.

This is a good example of how to fight violence with violence. Let the ground rock rat and the Xuan Shui Turtle to fight every once in a while, and beat them up, so that they will be honest and obedient for a period of time.

"The future catastrophe in the Great Green East Region did not dissipate because of the death of the Shakhai True Lord."

Lu Chang'an put away the divination wonder, his face not looking good.

His concern did not lie in the change in the Xuan Shui Turtle's disposition, the latter was actually harmless within the controllable range.

The first time he returned to Liang was five years ago, and now he has been doing his best to calculate, and he has vaguely captured the future trend of good and bad luck.

In the first few years of his return, most of the time, the bad luck was normal, neither good nor bad.

Now, it is fixed as uncertainty.

Although there is no obvious sign of bad luck, but the uncertain risk factor may exist, or may be in the pipeline.

From this, we can see that Shakhai Zhengen is not the main cause of the future calamity, or at least not the only hidden danger. Back then, the Diviner's divination results remained largely unchanged.

The longer one stays in the Great Green East Region, the higher the risk. Beyond a certain threshold, it would even brew into a calamity!

"It seems that after the fourth life is illuminated, we must go to the Beacon Kingdom as soon as possible and obtain the Tai Yin Jade Liquid. As for the other YuanYing chances, there is no need to push too hard."

Lu Chang'an mused.

......

A few days later.

Lu Chang'an left the Great Sun Peak to obtain the latest information from the Dark Hall organization in the back of the Golden Cloud Valley.

In Golden Cloud Valley, Zhang Tianfeng granted Lu Chang'an great clan privileges, including in terms of intelligence access.

Although on some levels, it was not as good as the Infernal Sect, it did not lag behind in the local intelligence of Liang as well as the Wei Dao Alliance.

Half an hour later.

Lu Chang'an returned to Great Sun Peak and destroyed the intelligence tokens in his hands.

"The Immortal Golden Dan of the Golden Sun Sect has cultivated to the peak of conjugation. The sect is actively plotting for a baby-forming object, and even secretly contacting a fourth-order alchemy master......"...

The movements of the Golden Sun Sect were in line with Lu Changan's expectations.

After the fall of a YuanYing True Lord, the Sect would surely devote all its efforts to cultivate a second YuanYing stage as soon as possible.

As a matter of fact, the Golden Sun Sect had been secretly planning for this some years ago, only in recent years the news couldn't be hidden anymore.

"Elder Ancestor Tian Luo was injured once again, and was disheartened after failing to plan for a fourth-order spirit vein."

"Recently, inaccurate news has come to us that the Tian Luo Sect is unable to accept the continued losses, the decline of the sect, and is preparing to migrate away from the Wei Dao Alliance."

Another important piece of information concerns Lu Chang'an's enemy, the Tian Luo Sect, the Xie Clan of the Chen Kingdom.

"Relocating the clan?"

Lu Chang'an couldn't help but be stunned, feeling that Tian Luo Ancestor was a bit of a gambler.

Back then, when the Tian Luo Sect lost the Chen Kingdom and landed and retreated in the Jing Kingdom, they should have gotten certain promises from the Chu Alliance Master.

For example, to assist in rebuilding the Fourth Order Spirit Vein.

In the Wei Dao Alliance, Lord Chu's authority is unquestionable, and he is a man of his word.

However, the prerequisite for honoring one's promise is to make a corresponding contribution in the fight against the invasion of the Demon Road.

When Yan hadn't fallen, the Tian Luo Sect would have been reluctant to go to the fourth-order spirit veins there.

The Tian Luo Sect's contribution to the fight against the demonic invasion has been extremely disappointing, and its achievements on the battlefield have not been comparable to that of the Xuan Yin Sect.

Moreover, the Tian Luo Sect is internally corrupted and infiltrated, and more than once the information has been leaked, dragging the feet of the Wei Dao Alliance.

When the Tian Luo Sect was leading the Jing Country's Immortal Cultivation World, it was also constantly losing.

Under these circumstances, it was difficult for Lord Chu to convince the other forces of the Wei Dao Alliance to sacrifice their respective clan spirit veins to help the Tian Luo Sect rebuild its fourth-order spirit veins.

Moreover, the Sky Luo Ancestor doesn't have a long lifespan, over 800 years old, and his fighting skills are mediocre amongst his peers.

Instead of helping this mess, it would be better to support the Xuan Yin Sect.

The Xuan Yin Sect has a strong executive force, and its followers are fierce in their fights, so they won't cause so many problems.

"In today's situation, there are very few ways to relocate the sect, and the road is much more risky."

Lu Chang'an made a slight projection and realized that there was only one place for the Tian Luo Sect to go.

To the east of the Jing Kingdom is the Liang Kingdom, which is under the rule of the Golden Sun Sect.

The Golden Sun Sect will never allow the Tian Luo Sect to move to its own territory.

What's more, the Golden Sun Sect is at a critical moment when they are planning for the chance of a newborn.

Even if there is someone in the Weidao Alliance, the Tianluo Sect still doesn't have a fourth-order spiritual vein, and under the wear and tear of war, it will continue to deplete and decline.

To the north of the Jing Kingdom, through the Black Mist Mountain Range and the boundless desert, which is the territory of the Feng Yuan Kingdom, is even more impractical.

To the southwest, it belongs to the devil's domain.

The only possible way to go is to follow the Black Mist Mountain Range north of the Jing Kingdom and move further west, where the Seven Kingdoms Alliance is located.

More than a hundred years ago, the Li Huo Palace migrated along the western side of the Jing Country, and eventually landed in the Seven Kingdoms Alliance, seeking to obtain a quasi-fourth-order spirit vein.

At that time, there was no Yuan Ying True Lord in the Li Huo Palace.

The outside world doesn't know that Lu Chang'an's secret assistance was the reason why Leofire Palace was able to obtain a quasi fourth-order spirit vein at that time.

Nowadays, since most of the surrounding realms are held by the Devil Dao, migrating to the Seven Kingdoms Alliance is much more risky than it was back then. "It would be quite a coincidence if we were to migrate in that direction!"

Lu Chang'an's eyes flickered as he murmured.

......

The next day, the only female Zhendan guest minister of the Golden Cloud Valley came to pay a visit to the Great Sun Peak....

"Elder Lu has recently left the gate, so my concubine has come over to intrude for a few moments."

Zhu Yu Ting dressed in a plain colored gauze skirt, with a small head and a graceful body, with an elegant and dusty immortal aura.

"Fairy Zhu, please come in."

Lu Changan opened the formation and welcomed Zhu Yuting to his cave.

During the conversation, Lu Changan was neither warm nor cold.

In the Golden Cloud Valley's circle of pandas, Fairy Zhu is highly popular and revered.

In contrast, Lu Chang'an seems to be more aloof.

Zhu Yuting was secretly puzzled, judging from the records of the Xuan Turtle Journey: this Lu Zhen Zhen Zhen would not mind having a dewy love affair with some fairies.

In terms of beauty, temperament and status, she is clearly superior to the women Lu Chang'an has had relationships with before.

The first two encounters, Zhu Yuting thought that it was the rawness, the slow heat, or Lu's superior status under the desire to capture the indulgence.

Later, she realized that Lu Chang'an's attitude and eyes when facing himself was similar to that of Patriarch Tianfeng, treating her and the other elders no differently and equally.

"Yuting once heard a rumor from the trails: that Zenith Lu had a grudge against the Peacock Sacred Maiden of the Beast King Valley?"

Zhu Yuting revealed a curious look.

"That is indeed true, why does Fairy Zhu have this question?"

Lu Chang'an knew that this matter was not a secret.

After returning to Golden Cloud Valley, the other visiting elders, too, had inquired about it, or side-stepped it.

"Coincidentally, a few months ago, when Yuting visited the Golden Sun Sect for an exchange, she met that Peacock Holy Maiden who was reduced to a servant girl."

Zhu Yuting said with a smiling face.

"Oh?"

Lu Chang'an couldn't help but inquire about the current status of the Peacock Saintess.

Zhu Yuting smiled coquettishly, her voice piquant, stating what she had seen in the Golden Sun Sect.

As the Beast King Valley captured more and more territory, the Peacock Sacred Maiden was treated better and better in the Golden Sun Sect.

At first, she was imprisoned, not seeing the light of day.

Later, after her grandfather Wanhe sent someone to negotiate, she regained a certain degree of freedom, and was allowed to move within a certain range of the Golden Sun Sect's mountain gates, but was not allowed to communicate with the outside world.

Nowadays, Peacock Holy Maiden is nominally a servant girl, but she doesn't need to labor within the mountain gate. Except for the fact that her cultivation is limited and she can't leave the mountain gate, her treatment is similar to that of the disciples in the sect.

Even so, the Golden Sun Sect allowed the Peacock Saint Maiden to enter the scripture building to learn about the outside world and communicate with some reliable cultivators.

"That day, the Peacock Holy Maiden heard that my concubine was a Golden Cloud Valley Elder and took the initiative to come over to talk. During that time, she secretly transmitted a message for my concubine to deliver a message to Realist Lu."

"What words did she say?"

"The Peacock Holy Maiden said: for Zenith Lu to go to the Golden Sun Sect to meet with her, she has something important to explain; if she doesn't go, she will make Zenith Lu regret it."

"Heh! She's a hostage, a prisoner, how dare she threaten this Real Person?"

Lu Changan laughed lightly, revealing a contemptuous expression.

In truth, his heart was alarmed, the Peacock Saintess dared to let someone bring words and make threats, could it be that she had seized some weakness in herself?

For example, after taking revenge on some old friends.

Or, declaring outwardly that Lu Chang'an's threatening theory was a reincarnation to take over the body, etc.. Even though the Peacock Holy Maiden was captured back then, she had not fought with Lu Chang'an and did not know his true strength.

"The words of that demoness, it's hard to guarantee that there is some kind of calculation, Real Lu doesn't have to care too much about being influenced by it."

Zhu Yu Ting chatted for a few more moments, realizing that Lu Chang'an was not interested in talking, so she excused herself and left....

......

Inside the cave, Lu Chang'an was deep in thought, feeling that there was something strange about this matter.

He thought of the two years before Xing Peng's death, he had mentioned an inaccurate intelligence:

It was said that the Beast King Valley's True Lord Wanhe, who was trying to rescue the Peacock Sacred Maiden, needed the assistance of the Infernal Sect.

Perhaps the cost was too great, and the rescue plan was later put on hold.

"Could it be that this woman has the confidence to get rid of her status as a prisoner and return to the Beast King Valley?" Lu Changan secretly projected the reason for this message, but was hindered by the invisible mists of heavenly chances and could not get an accurate answer.

But one thing is certain.

The more advantage Beast King Valley gains in the future, the higher the possibility of this woman regaining her freedom.

If the Defenders Alliance were to lose completely, the Golden Sun Sect would definitely utilize their hostage status, and would not even rule out the possibility of voluntarily handing over the hostage, or communicating privately with the True Lord of the Ten Thousand Cranes to intentionally let the water out of the water.

"Unfortunately, Xing Peng is not here to be informed of the inside information related to this."

Lu Chang'an sighed darkly, feeling regret.

If he wanted to find out about this matter, he would have to find a way to do so himself.

Or communicate with the Peacock Holy Maiden face to face to test the truth.

If he wants to kill the hidden danger.

The safest method is to sneak into the Golden Sun Sect and kill the Peacock Sacred Maiden.

Anyway, the Peacock Sacred Maiden's magical power was forbidden, and as long as the Golden Sun Sect's Six Suns True Lord was not at the mountain gate, Lu Chang'an had a chance to make this happen, but only at a certain risk. But this could also be the Beast King Valley's plan, waiting for him to make a move.

"There's no rush first!"

Lu Chang'an thought of a future calamity, the uncertainty of the trigrams, acting still need to be more cautious.

......

Two months later.

Under the moonlit night, a green-robed man wearing a hat quietly sneaked out of the Golden Cloud Valley.

He was extremely cautious, and his divine sense scanned the surroundings.

He was sure that no one was around.

The green-robed man transformed into a green wood recluse and entered the Nine Gangs Sky, flying towards the center of Liang's Immortal Cultivation World.

The next day evening.

Thousands of miles away from the Golden Sun Sect, the green-robed man quietly settled down, and his divine sense once again probed the surrounding area.

"Eh?"

The green-robed man in the bucket hat sensed the abnormality and vigilantly held a handful of talismans in his hand.

Hundreds of feet on a high ridge.

Six or seven black-clothed figures, blending into the shadows.

On one of the branches of the tree stood a black crane with a sharp beak and a long neck, about ten feet tall.

"Setting off from Golden Cloud Valley, wood-based recluse, late JieDan stage of divine sense fluctuation! It must be that kid."

The black crane's blue eyes flickered, emitting a pale human voice.

"This son's strength is extraordinary! Don't hesitate, go all out and kill him with one strike!"

At Black Crane's command, six or seven black-robed men transformed into blurred shadows, killing the green-robed man with terrifying speed.

Poisonous gas strange wind, shadow sickle blade, magic treasure dark weapon......

Among them, there were two late stage JieDan great cultivators, including the Jade Shadow helmsman, all of them were the Infernal Sect's elite killers.

As these people's attacks enveloped the green-robed, bucket-hatted man.

A crane sound of gods and ghosts crying out in fear broke through the dark and windy sky.

A huge crane of hundreds of feet, covering the sky, lifted its wings and gave a beat at the highest point of its flight arc.

Swish!

In the next moment, the giant crane shadow swept past the body of the green-robed man in the bucket hat like an instant.

The terrifying spiritual pressure reached the level of YuanYing for a short period of time.

"Infernal Sect Killer!"...

"YuanYing possesses the spirit...... of the True Lord of Ten Thousand Cranes......"

Before the green-robed bucket hat man died, he let out a desperate hiss, and his body, which was comparable to a third-order middle-grade refined body, was instantly shattered.

At the same time as his demise.

The Jade Shadow helmsman and another late-stage JieDan assassin each unleashed a fourth-order spirit talisman.

It was a gold-based attack talisman and a water-based trapping talisman respectively.

The body of the green-robed man in the conical hat directly flew away in ashes, not even the bone crumbs could be seen.

"Congratulations True Lord, killing the land thief."

The Jade Shadow Helmsman and the others bowed and said.

"Too smooth, no struggle at all?"

The giant crane shadow disappeared, and a seven-orifice bleeding, peak third-order black crane appeared in the same spot, with doubts in its eyes.

Through the secret art of Beast Attachment, this crane briefly erupted into a YuanYing level attack, and contained a divine soul deterrent.

"Nope - it's just the illusion of a divine soul in vain, without the flesh and blood aura of a JieDan cultivator."

After careful inspection, the black crane's old human voice emitted an exasperated and furious tremor.

This time, the Spirit of Attachment has struck out, and the Earth Grade Bloodline Spirit Bird that he cultivated has suffered a great backlash, and will lose its potential for advancement.

......

Golden Cloud Valley, Da Ri Feng's cave.

"It is truly sinister! How dare you plan to ambush this real person!" Lu Chang'an opened his eyes, and the sensory image on the other end, completely disappeared.

Without lighting up the Fourth World, Lu Chang'an would have been at a considerable risk if he had come in person to face the ambush just now.

That huge crane shadow's attack was a full-bodied YuanYing level, as fast as an instantaneous movement, and was a greater threat than that of the Shakhai True Lord.

Moreover, there were two fourth rank spirit talismans, as well as the Infernal Sect's elite surrounding them.

Even if a quasi fourth-ranked golem was trapped in it, it would be sunk.

However, the ambush calculation just now was quite costly.

Once it failed, the Beast King Valley's elders all felt pain and anger.

They had suffered a big defeat as YuanYing True Lords.

Lu Chang'an's loss was a newly refined third-order mid-grade humanoid puppet, non-complete body, with more frugal core materials.

The shadow of the second life divine soul that was incorporated was also consumed for a large portion of a share.

However, by incorporating the Thousand Chance Sect's simulation technology, as well as Lu Chang'an's wood system mana, it could be made to look like a fake under non-close contact.

"No wonder the longer we stay in the Great Green East Region, the more dangerous it becomes."

Lu Chang'an had a deep understanding at this time.

The potential threats he faced were not only the Shakhai True Lord of the Hearing Sea Pavilion, but also the Beast King Valley YuanYing Elder, the Peacock Sacred Maiden's grandfather.

Wanhe Zhenjun is a senior elder of Beast King Valley, with a peak cultivation at the early stage of Yuanyin, and his strength threatens to far exceed that of the Shakai Zhenjun, who was not at his full strength and fled in despair back then.

It's not just the difference in individual power.

The Wanhe True Monarch has the backing of the Beast King Valley and the six sects of the Devil's Way, and the deterrence and influence he possesses exceeds that of Yuanyin cultivators such as the Flame Lord and the Sixth Sun True Monarch.

"There is also the Evergreen Kung Fu fellow cultivator from the Great Green Central Region, whether he will come over in the future or not is also an unknown."

Lu Chang'an projected again, and the situation became clearer and clearer.

The potential threats he faced by staying in the Great Qing Eastern Domain were simply more than one or two.

Perhaps, there was also a side he didn't know about.

"Zhu Yuting, there is a problem!"

A cold aura swept across Lu Changan's eyes, speculating that Zhu Yuting might have been bribed by demonic forces....

Back then, the two of them had formed a dan in the Moonwatch Immortal City, and after a hundred decades, it could be said that there had been a change in the sea.

Some years ago, the Heng Kingdom was captured by the Beast King Valley.

The good and evil of people's hearts, and their positions and camps, all of these can change drastically in a hundred years or more of time.

Since returning to Liang, Lu Chang'an has been staying in the Golden Cloud Valley, hardly going out.

It is difficult to have a chance to strike at the ambush set up by the True Lord of Ten Thousand Cranes.

Zhu Yu Ting's previous message, which was a false alarm, made Lu Chang'an suspicious.

In the Immortal Cultivation world, people who are deep in the city or who act cautiously are more prone to suspicion.

Even a wise person like the Celestial Master would be overly cautious and take things at face value.

If the Peacock Saintess had something on her, or if there was a possibility of her escaping, Lu Chang'an would not be able to remain unmoved and not take any action.

Lu Changan's Divine Sense swept through the Golden Cloud Valley's mountain gate and found no trace of Zhu Yuting.

"Fairy Zhu, transferred to the frontline battlefield half a month ago."

Subsequently, from one of the mountain guarding elders, he got the whereabouts of this woman.

"Hmph! That's quite a coincidence!"

Instead, Lu Changan was even more certain that there was something wrong with Fairy Zhu's identity.

If this woman remains at the mountain gate, then there is still the possibility of her being utilized by the Beast King Valley and the Peacock Sacred Maiden.

As for pretending to be innocent and staying in Golden Cloud Valley to cause division? If she were an ordinary guest elder, there would still be a possibility of manipulation.

The target is Lu Chang'an, it is impossible for the first cultivator of Golden Cloud Valley to trust Zhu Yuting.

On that day, Lu Chang'an used the clan's authority to send an expedited transmission to send Zhu Yuting's situation to Zhang Tieshan and Zhao Tan'er at the frontline.

Lu Chang'an knew that Fairy Zhu had gone to the battlefield this time and was unlikely to return.

Although he missed the opportunity to capture this woman. But to remove a high-level tumor for Golden Cloud Valley, it is considered a contribution.

In the immortal sects, the Jiedan cultivator who joined in the middle, can not become the core elders, often only the status of the guest secretary, can not get the real power.

Only those who had been cultivated from a young age, such as Zhang Tieshan, could become the core elders of the sect, as well as the helmsman. Zhu Yuting's example proves that this set of promotion rules of the Immortal Cultivation Sect has its own rationale.

......

In a blink of an eye, nearly two years have passed.

As Lu Changan expected, Zhu Yuting did not return to Golden Cloud Valley after going to the frontline that time.

During that time, Zhang Tianfeng came back once and officially removed Zhu Yuting's name.

Taking advantage of that meeting, Lu Chang'an and Zhang Tianfeng talked for a long time and made a deal with each other.

On this day.

Lu Chang'an's Nine Seal Tablet's fourth life was finally lit up again.

Lu Chang'an's age, too, came to 318 years old.

The first ten years have passed since he was promoted to the late Jindan stage.

"From the age of eighteen when I awakened in this world and stepped into the immortal path, now a whole three hundred years of immortal cultivation career has passed!"

Lu Chang'an was dressed in white, standing with his hands behind his back, his face was ancient and unperturbed.

His upright posture was like an ancient tree, rooted in the earth, experiencing hundreds of years in the Immortal Cultivation World, with wind and rain, and never falling.

Its roots and stems are getting thicker and thicker, and its branches and leaves are getting more and more luxuriant.

The state of thriving, as if never withered the evergreen ancient wood.

"Cultivating Immortality for three hundred years, my strength completely surpasses that of my previous life, even if I face an ordinary YuanYing True Lord, I still have the ability to maneuver and protect myself."

"More importantly, the Nine Seal Tablet illuminated the fourth life ahead of time, unlocking some uses and hidden secrets."

Lu Changan closed his eyes and entered the Nine Seal Tablet.

A handsome man from the first life.

The white-bearded old man of the second life.

The white man of the third life, hidden from view, not yet carved and molded.

The purple-robed Taoist in the fourth life.

The above four frame seals are all lit.

In the fifth life, one-tenth of the area is lit.

Unconsciously, the progress of the Nine Seals Monument's Nine Lives was almost half complete!

Each life is Lu Chang'an's reincarnation experience, or a transformed simulated Immortal Cultivation Reincarnation.

What would be accomplished if the nine lives were illuminated, or even if the nine lives were united?

Lu Chang'an couldn't speculate.

Beyond the fifth life, it would be beyond his comprehension.

The Immortal Cultivation World knew of the higher realms because of the canonical texts passed down since ancient times, and there was no shortage of upper realm cultivators descending in the more desolate ages.

In today's human continent, looking around the world, a YuanYing True Lord is at least a big shot on one side.

Even in the Great Abyss, where the immortal cultivation civilization is more advanced, there is no exception.

"In the past three hundred years, drifting along with the waves, I couldn't help it. Even if one achieves a JieDan great cultivator, in front of the great power of the Immortal Cultivation World, it is insignificant."

"The only way to achieve Yuanying is to jump out of the crowd and have the possibility of becoming a chess player, thus taking charge of the changes in the Immortal Cultivation World!"

Lu Changan withdrew from the Nine Seal Monument, his eyes gazing in the direction beyond Da Qing.

At this moment, he clarifies his goal for the next hundred years, fulfilling the long-cherished wish of several lifetimes, and fully planning for YuanYing!
