Chapter 385 - Demon Rebellion, Fourth Order Molting Spirit
Chapter 387 - Demon Rebellion, Fourth Order Molting Spirit
Lu Chang'an, who was in closed-door cultivation, noticed that the Xuan Shui Turtle's promotion was within his expectations.
When he absorbed a large amount of innate turbid Qi from the withering of the Xuan Tian relics, the Xuan Shui Turtle's bloodline metamorphosed and was at least comparable to the Heavenly Grade. Although it is a third-order Xuan Turtle, its lifespan is not much lower than that of Lu Chang'an.
Ordinary demonic beast species have similar life spans to humans. But those legendary species, such as the True Spirit Dragon and Phoenix, and the Unicorn Turtle, have long lifespans. The corresponding True Spirit bloodline descendants, the species above the Earth Grade, also have life spans far exceeding that of ordinary demonic beasts.
"This fourth-ranked Blood Dragon Fruit is a rare sacred fruit of body refining in the Immortal Cultivation World, even if it can't allow me to advance to the fourth-ranked body refining, it can still increase my body and qi strength."
Lu Changan took out a jade box and unsealed a dragonscale blood-colored fruit inside, whose value was close to the Heavenly Infant Fruit.
Huge blood elemental qi of heaven and earth surged in the secret room.
Three years ago, during the Heavenly Thunder Revenge of the First Infant, Lu Changan's refined physical body had been slightly baptized by the Heavenly Thunder.
At that time, the bottleneck of his refining body was vaguely loosened, but he lost this feeling after the tribulation.
This fourth-order blood dragon fruit was the dividend compensation given by Jing Wufeng after he came out of the Ancient Pantheon.
Lu Changan had planned to gather more precious body refining materials in the future to refine a breakthrough-type Body Refining Holy Pill.
However, the era of the Immortal Cultivation World is not suitable for body cultivators, and the body refining precious materials above the fourth rank are nearly extinct, so it is far from being possible to gather all the materials.
Even if a breakthrough Fourth Order Body Refining Pill is made, there is no guarantee that one will be able to advance to the Fourth Order.
In addition to qualification and chance, there is also the shackle of the environment of heaven and earth.
Since ancient times, the fifth stage of body refining was unheard of, and the fourth stage of body refining was probably the limit of the human realm. Therefore, the difficulty of promotion far exceeds that of infant formation.
Lu Changan simply took it right away, even if the chances of promotion were very low, it could still increase his body refining strength by a few points.
A few days later.
Lu Chang'an failed to promote his body refining to the fourth stage.
However, his body and qi and blood increased by a few percent, and the bottleneck was loosened, making him a quasi fourth-order body refining level.
The impact of Body Refinement was only a minor incident during Lu Changan's seclusion.
The vast majority of his energies were used to enhance his divine abilities and secret arts.
With the insights of the YuanYing from his fourth life and the memory experience of multiple YuanYings, Lu Changan practiced certain similar divine ability secret techniques, and the touch of the world was a perfect match.
For example, the Illusory Wood Splitting was a good match for the attributes of the Evergreen Kung Fu. The memories of the three YuanYing had all practiced similar body magic aptitudes.
Lu Chang'an practiced the Illusory Wood Diversion in his current life and easily reached a minor accomplishment.
Essentially, Lu Changan, in addition to maintaining his original mind, is equal to the reincarnation of a YuanYing old monster to be reborn and rebuilt, not the kind of residual soul fusion and half-assed rebuilding of Hu Ang. ......
During the period of seclusion, another three years passed.
This day, Yunxia Sect was born a late-stage Jiedan, named Colorful Moon real person.
Compared to when Lu Chang'an first came to Yunxia Sect, the sect's fortune is much stronger, a thriving scene.
The clan has seen a change of the old and the new, and there are many capable people, from top to bottom, all of whom are significantly more powerful than in the era when True Lord Yun Lan was in power.
Certain cultivators of the sect privately discuss that True Lord Zixia is more adept at managing the sect than her senior brother Yun Lan.
The newly promoted Colorful Moon True Lord held a small celebration.
Xiao Qingshan sent a congratulatory gift on behalf of Lu Changan, after all, during the Yuanying Ceremony, Realm Caiyue had sent a generous gift......
"In the last half a year, the Hall of Concubine Affairs has added two new missions to eliminate demons, it's very strange."
"Not only our Yunxia Sect, some demonized demons have sporadically appeared in the major powers of Da Yu Country, fortunately, most of them are below the third rank and are not too harmful."
"Such an abnormal sign, could it be that the calamity of demonic turmoil is about to sweep through the Central Region again?"
At the small celebration gathering, the sect cultivators were talking about the signs of demonic revival, which was a hot topic of discussion.
To Xiao Qingshan, the Demon Rebellion was unfamiliar. When the last demonic calamity occurred, his mother was not even born.
A few of the clan executives present had already had an idea about this.
However, the current small number of medium and low level demons is not enough for them to personally take action.
The Snow Peak Patriarch said in a low voice, "The signs of demon recovery this time are quite a bit earlier than before, according to the divination master's projection, within ten years at the latest, the Demon Rebellion will erupt on a large scale, with the Central Region bearing the brunt of it."
Cai Yue Zhen Zhen sighed quietly, "The demonic calamity will not have much impact on the top level of the Immortal Cultivation World, but I don't know how many ordinary cultivators will perish."
......
After the small celebration, Xiao Qingshan returned to Yun Lan Peak and organized and recorded the recent external intelligence in the jade brief for True Lord Xiang to view after he left the gate.
The signs of the Demon Calamity had no effect on Earth Rock Monarch.
Since the Xuan Shui Turtle was promoted to the late third stage, it has also begun to practice hard over the past few years.
At the same time, it did not forget to monitor Hu Ang's every move.
Recently, the green-armored puppets with the same task have been sitting in the underground palace, entering a kind of sleepy, half-sleepy state of tranquility, completely forgetting about the outside world.
Both the master and the green-armored golem were in a state of seclusion, so Earth Rock Monarch had to take up the heavy burden.
Lu Chang'an was not in a state of seclusion, his divine sense occasionally checked the situation in the outside world.
"The Demon Rebellion would be a good opportunity if it breaks out within ten years."
Lu Changan murmured.
He thought of the demons he encountered during his travels, although they were controlled by ghost cultivators, so he thought it was not a coincidence.
Throughout the demonic upheavals, some residual demonic creatures, or demonic forces, were scattered in various corners of the Great Abyss Central Region.
It is said that the demonic plague in the Central Region is somehow related to the Ancient Hall of the Specter.
Normally, demonic turmoil occurs around one year after the Ancient Pantheon.
But the last time, the Ancient Pantheon was also extraordinary, with a large number of participants and more treasures and opportunities than ever before.
......
Five years later.
The number of demons in the middle region of the Great Abyss has increased dramatically, and from time to time, third-order demons appear, bringing destruction to all parts of the Immortal Cultivation World.
Inside the forbidden land of the Central Domain, there is even a surge of demonic aura, and many demonic creatures with chaotic spirits rush out in advance.
One third of Yunxia Sect's mission is related to the extermination of demons.
This year, Lu Chang'an finally ended his ten-year closed-door cultivation.
After ten years of cultivation, Lu Changan's magical power had increased relatively little, but his divine power had increased significantly.
In the ten years of limited time, Lu Chang'an practiced the powerful "Withering Divine Light", supplemented by a few other easy-to-learn magical powers and mystical arts.
The reason why he practiced "Withering Divine Light" is because it fits the wood system techniques, especially the Evergreen Technique, which also has a great killing power on living beings.
The characteristic of "Withering Divine Light" is to strangle the vitality of living beings, which is extremely harmful to flesh and blood, plants and animals.
It is said that the land struck by The Withering Divine Light will not grow an inch of grass for a hundred years...... If it hits a cultivator, it can cause the life essence to wither away drastically.
Take Lu Changan's "Withering Divine Light", which was cultivated to a small extent at the YuanYing stage, as an example, if an ordinary Jiedan cultivator was swept head-on, he would be turned into a pile of withered bones in an instant.
Even if a YuanYing cultivator is hit by the light, the loss of blood and vital energy will reduce the strength of the temporary fighting technique.
If the "Withered Destruction Divine Light" is cultivated to the fullest extent, it often takes a YuanYing cultivator to reach the middle to late stage, and its power is even higher, and if it is slightly touched in a fight, it will be able to reduce the target's lifespan.
Cultivating this divine ability, Lu Changan consumed a large amount of essence, blood and vital energy, and in order to speed up the progress, he also lost three years of his life.
This is only because he has cultivated his Body Refinement to the Quasi-Fourth Stage, and the quality of his essence, blood and vital energy is high. If he were to be in the early stage of the YuanYing period, he would have to lose ten years of his lifespan.
If he consumes his blood and essence at any cost in a fight, he can also raise the power of "Withering Divine Light" to a higher level, which is a big threat to cultivators below the middle stage of the YuanYing period.
With this divine ability, Lu Chang'an was able to get a long way to replenish his strength in terms of offense.
Of course, there is no perfect divine ability in the world.
The Withering Divine Light also has its limitations.
Firstly, this divine ability can penetrate the spiritual light of the magic shield, but it can be easily blocked by defensive magic treasures, especially heavy magic treasures and metallic magic treasures.
After all, the "Withering Divine Light" belongs to the wooden divine ability, and there are also attribute restraints.
Secondly, it is weak against non-living beings, such as puppets and dead things.
Like puppets and zombies, they are not living things, so they do not fear the Withering Divine Light.
However, Lu Changan, as a puppet master with many puppets, was not afraid of being restrained by such means.
Apart from these two limitations, there were also the commonalities of most divine spells.
No matter how strong a divine ability is, it is only effective if it hits the person.
If the target is extremely fast, or is in a higher realm, blocking and deflecting it, and the Withering Divine Light can't reach the enemy's body, then even the most heaven-defying effect will be in vain.
Lu Changan wasn't worried about this, he had many tools to help him, puppets, spirit pets, treasure talismans, and magic treasures could all involve and suppress the enemy, and unleashing the Withering Divine Light on top of that would be like adding wings to a tiger!
......
In addition to the Avatar Secret Methods, Lu Changan also took the time to quench and upgrade the quality of his main magic treasures and smelt precious materials.
The Dragon Wooden Staff] melts down dragon bones and purifies dragon blood, increasing its power and quality.
Nailhead Arrow] is also integrated with valuable materials from the past, such as the fourth-rank medium-grade Purple Specter Ore, which also comes from the Ancient Specter Hall's dividends.
This mine is an incredibly rare soul dao treasure material that can increase the quality and soul killing power of the Nail Head Arrow.
Back in the day, when the Peacock was built, he didn't even bother to use the Purple Specter Ore, but only used two other fourth-order mid-grade materials.
The main material for the body of the Nail Head Arrow is the precious Soul Nurturing Wood from the Immortal Cultivation World, which has been nurtured by Lu Chang'an for hundreds of years, and has a spiritual quality that exceeds that of ordinary fourth-order middle-grade spirit wood.
If the environment of heaven and earth permits, this precious spirit wood of the Immortal Cultivation World can theoretically grow indefinitely to the fifth or sixth rank, or even higher.
Just like a cultivator's treasure, as long as the cultivation level continues to rise, the melted materials can be sacrificed and nourished, theoretically, it can be upgraded indefinitely, and become a supreme treasure of the Immortals.
......
"Ten years in seclusion, I have reached the age of 391, and there are only ten years left before Jing Wufeng's sealing of the devil's covenant.".....
Lu Chang'an counted the time.
Back then, he owed Jing Wufeng a promise to help him seal a sinister place in the forbidden area of the Central Region where demonic qi was leaking within a decade.
Without Jing Wufeng's help, he would not have been able to kill the Stone Heart Dragon in the past, and the Earth Rock Monarch might not have been able to rise to the fourth rank of Demon King.
Now that the demonic energy is pouring out of the forbidden land in the Central Region, I don't know if it will have any effect on the agreement made at that time.
Soon after her release, Immortal Zixia personally visited Yun Lan Peak and exchanged information about the events of the past ten years.
Among them, there was the news of Jing Wufeng.
Jiang Ziyan said, "Three years ago, True Lord Jing Tian appeared in the Central Region, attracting the targeting of several YuanYing old monsters."
"Two years ago a fight spell, Jing Tian True Monarch against the YuanYing middle stage giants undefeated, and took advantage of the chaos to kill a YuanYing early stage, even the YuanYing spirit body did not escape......" Mentioning this matter, Jiang Ziyan's starry eyes revealed scorn.
True Monarch Jing Tian's magical powers and aptitudes broke the routine of the difficulty of falling between ordinary YuanYing True Monarchs.
Lu Changan was also envious when he heard about it.
Jing Wufeng possessed a special spatial aptitude, which was estimated to be able to restrict the escape of a YuanYing spirit body.
Lu Chang'an happens to lack such aptitude or special magic treasure.
If he wants to kill an early stage YuanYing, he must use a trick to kill the target YuanYing first, so that it can't leave its body and escape smoothly.
"Da Long thinks, does True Lord Jing Tian really possess a pseudo-spiritual treasure, otherwise how could he cause such a big commotion?"
Zixia Immortal intentionally or unintentionally probed.
Even though True Monarch Jing Tian had only come to Yunxia Sect once, she always felt that the former's relationship with Xiang Dalong was not simple.
"It is impossible to say."
Lu Chang'an shook his head and did not say what he really thought.
He felt that the True Lord of Stygian Water was behind this.
The other YuanYing monsters were targeting Jing Wufeng either because of the Ancient Pantheon's grudge or because of their greed for pseudo-spiritual treasures and other opportunities.
True Lord Stygian Water had some misunderstandings about Jing Wufeng and was concerned about the huge benefits associated with the Hearing Sea Pavilion.
"This True Lord Jing Tian should be a person of good fortune, becoming the center of attention in the Central Region as soon as he made his appearance."
"Well, with fellow Daoist Jing drawing fire, I was able to develop so comfortably."
Lu Chang'an silently nodded a compliment.
......
Two days later, Immortal Zixia left Yun Lan Peak.
Lu Chang'an suddenly thought of a possibility to check the letters he received in the past ten years.
As the Demon Sealing Testament approaches, Jing Wufeng should take the initiative to contact him when he returns to the Central Region.
Not long after, Lu Changan's divine sense found a special third-order jade shell amongst the many letters. It appeared to be a congratulatory gift, but there was a Heavenly Character prohibition on it that Lu Chang'an was familiar with.
Lu Chang'an followed the previously agreed upon technique and broke the jade shell's restriction.
Buzz!
The surface of the jade shell swirled with a curtain of blue water light, on which appeared the unrestrained figure of True Lord Jingtian.
"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Xiang, on becoming a YuanYing. In the future, we will be able to increase our certainty of the Demon Sealing trip by a few percent."
True Lord Jing Tian stood with his hands in the air, speaking to himself.
"The upcoming demonic turmoil in the Central Region is not a bad thing for our agreed plan. In this way, it will be conducive to finding the key node where the demonic qi is leaking, making it easier to repair the seal."
"When Mister Jing returned to the Great Abyss Central Domain, he was prepared to contact Fellow Daoist Xiang at the first opportunity, but he was targeted by a group of tricky fellows. In addition to the old monster Jin Kun, there is also that inexplicable bitch of the Underwater True Lord......".....
Jing Wufeng told the objective conditions that made it inconvenient to meet, to avoid implicating Lu Chang'an and the Yunxia Sect.
Hearing this, Lu Changan recognized Jing Wufeng's character, and perhaps he could become a trusted friend in the future, just like Old Zhang.
"Mister Jing will first go to the Forbidden Land of the Central Region to look for the important gap where the demonic qi is leaking. Being in that chaotic land where the demonic qi is rampant will be conducive to getting rid of those troubles."
"When the demonic turmoil comes to an end, Fellow Daoist Xiang will then go with Mister Jing to the Central Domain Forbidden Land to fulfill the demon sealing covenant of that year."
Speaking here, Jing Wufeng's figure dimmed, and at the last moment when he was about to disappear, he added one more sentence:
"By the way, there is a fourth-order Void Whale near the sea in the Eastern Domain that possesses a thin True Spirit bloodline. This whale is burdened with spatial aptitude and is said to have an impressive collection of spatial treasure mines, which Mister Jing can't hold alone. If True Lord Xiang is interested, we can collaborate on a hunt in the future and make a trip to the sea."
Hearing this unintentional news, Lu Chang'an's heart suddenly moved.
He remembered that Jing Wufeng was proficient in spatial formations and had once laid down a fourth-order Illusory Air Formation to hunt the Demonized Stoneheart Dragon. This person is at least a quasi fourth-order formation master.
Lu Changan also lacked the spatial treasures to repair the spatial teleportation array left behind by Listening to the Sea Pavilion.
The Shakhai True Monarch was a Fourth Order Formation Master, but it was a pity that the devouring of this person's YuanYing only illuminated one tenth of the Fifth Life, which was not enough to be transformed into a One Life Reincarnation Experience. Otherwise, Lu Chang'an would have been able to directly become a Fourth Order Formation Master instead of a Third Order Formation Master.
Fortunately, the Shakhai True Lord had a general plan for restoration, and was mainly lacking in spatial materials.
In the future, if he obtained spatial treasure materials and consulted Jing Wufeng, he might be able to repair the spatial formations left behind by the Hearing Sea Pavilion more smoothly.
......
The first place Lu Chang'an visited after his release was the Earth Palace Dojo.
It wasn't to visit the Earth Rock Monarch or the Xuan Shui Turtle that was promoted to the late third stage.
Lu Changan stepped into the bottom of the Earth Palace and entered a forbidden and isolated hall room.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, you're here."
The green-armored puppet, which had been sitting in meditation for several years, slowly opened its eyes, and the green ghostly flames in its orbits reduced the eeriness of the ghostly atmosphere and gave off more of a wise light.
Lu Changan locked eyes with the puppet's pupils, his body's spirit pressure of a Yuan Ying True Lord emanated, while the latter surprisingly emanated a similar spirit pressure aura, not losing out in the slightest.
Lu Chang'an's face was overjoyed as his figure disappeared from its original spot in a blur.
Huo Boom!
In a flash, the huge strength of the Quasi-Fourth Order's physique was added, and the swelling golden patterned giant palm thunderously slapped at the green-armored puppet.
The green-armored golem lightly lifted its green iron palm, resisting and discharging the huge force that destroyed the mountain peak.
Its figure was sitting in the same place, not shaking in the slightest.
There was even a soft force that pushed Lu Changan away from the powerful recoil.
"Not bad! This kind of control is worthy of being a True Fourth Order Puppet."
Lu Changan looked up and down, and realized that the body of the green armored puppet had not changed in any way, and that it was a full quality fourth rank puppet in its own right.
The real change lies in the puppet spirit.
Nowadays, the Green Armor Puppet's puppet spirit exudes the power of divine sense similar to that of a YuanYing cultivator, and its control over the body's power is far greater than in the past, so it can deal with highly complex and high-speed fights on its own.
However, this puppet is not a real living being.
The puppet spirit has an existence similar to that of a divine soul, but it is not the same as a divine soul or a YuanYing.
Lu Chang'an couldn't help but think of the artificial intelligence before he traveled across the world, and the puppet spirit was like an alternative existence of its higher form.
The puppet doppelganger, which was unique to the possessed spirit in his previous life, had even more advantages, allowing him to go out on missions independently without having to bear the consumption of his divine sense, or to split up and act separately.
"With Old Wei's strength today, can he independently fight against a YuanYing cultivator?"
"If it's that female YuanYing from YunXia Sect, Mister Wei has a greater certainty."
Wei Puppet Master said calmly.
"If Fellow Daoist Lu gives some more fourth-ranked treasures, so that Mister Wei can strengthen the puppet's weapons and defenses, it won't be too difficult to resist the veteran Early YuanYing."
Wei Puppet Master didn't know that Zixia Immortal had obtained the extremely high-grade magic treasure [Wind and Cloud Fan], coupled with her cultivation at the peak of the early YuanYing stage, her strength wasn't what it used to be.
"Good! It's really the right place at the right time! This True Lord's plan to clear the accounts can be implemented without fear."
Lu Chang'an laughed softly with a stern look in his eyes.
