Chapter 422: Reincarnation Nutrients, Return of the Two Religions (Taking Leave on the 26th to Rest)

The territory of the Outer Sect Alliance.

The subsequent impact of Shen Laoxie's death and the split of the Poison Dragon Pond is still fermenting. Under the push of those with ulterior motives, the situation will continue to be chaotic and turbulent for many years.

In troubled times, the rise and fall of forces is inevitable.

Not long after, the second late Jindan was born in Xuanyin Pavilion. In the chaos, the industry expanded its power, liquidated the immortal cultivation forces that had maliciously suppressed Miaoyin Tower, and gradually became one of the giant forces of the Outer Sect Alliance.

…

The East Region of Daqing, the Far East Evil Land, belongs to the territory of the two sects.

Passing through the boundless poisonous swamp on the east side of the Weidao League, an area more dangerous than the endless flying sand chasm, you can reach the territory of the two sects.

From Fengyuan Country and the Outer Sect Alliance to the southeast, you can also reach the territory of the two sects, and the risk of the journey is slightly smaller.

The territory of the Far East Evil Land has richer spiritual veins and products than the Weidao League, but the living environment is harsh and it is not suitable for human cultivators at first.

Many years ago, the Five Poison Sect dominated the surrounding area and expanded its territory. It was the leader of the evil sects, not weaker than some of the six sects of the Demonic Path.

About 10,000 to 20,000 years ago, the Thousand Machine Sect emerged as a new force. It was said to be from Zhongzhou, the oldest place in Tianheng Continent where immortal cultivation was inherited.

Since then, the Far East Evil Land has entered a state of confrontation between the two sects. This dangerous area is called the boundary between the two sects.

This is the area in the East Region where the six sects of the Demonic Path expanded eastward and did not try to invade.

More than half a year later.

In the inner and outer areas of the Thousand Machine Sect, a group of steep mountains and red and black rivers guard a manor house where a quasi-fourth-level spiritual vein is located.

The mansion garden is beautiful with green mountains and clear waters, and the scenery is in sharp contrast to the harsh environment around it.

This is the ancestral home of the Teng family.

The ancestor of the Teng family, "True Lord Giant Elephant", is an elder of the Thousand Machine Sect. Now he is old and has been living in the clan land in recent years.

With the presence of the Yuanying Elder of the Holy Church, coupled with the rugged environment and array protection, the Teng Family's ancestral land is a forbidden area in the surrounding area. It is the most dangerous and the safest place.

On this day, in the manor house of the Teng Family's ancestral land, the clan protection array shook suddenly, bursting out with amazing light, causing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to be disordered.

Then, a shocking scene came.

A raging hurricane triggered a vast ocean of water, which erupted from the inside of the Teng Family's land.

The array base of the clan protection array was cut off and destroyed from the inside. The array light shield had not lasted for a few breaths before it collapsed from the inside and was washed away and covered by the vast ocean of water.

From the sky or from a distance, the huge Teng Family's land was swallowed up by the vast ocean of water. Except for the faint burst of spiritual light, no specific signs could be seen.

…

In the depths of the ancestral house submerged by the sea,

a vigorous and angry voice echoed:

"Who are you? Why did you attack the Teng family? Even if I die today, I must know the truth."

Under the water of the ancestral house, eight third-level top-level puppet army formations protected a white-haired, dry-as-wood, one-eyed old man in the center.

The shells of the eight puppets were severely damaged, and the puppet force formation diagram of the puppet army formation was extremely dim, and it was already the last of the strong bow.

Elder Teng's face was pale, his soul was about to break, his body was hunched, and poisonous blood oozed from the corners of his mouth. One of his eye sockets showed a bloody hole, as if pierced by some kind of long nail.

In addition, his torso and arms were left with multiple wounds. There was a shocking withered hole in his abdomen, and a large amount of life and blood were lost.

Facing an unprecedentedly powerful enemy, Elder Teng was already desperate.

A gorgeous and noble peacock hovered above his head, with its wings spread out for seven or eight feet. The previous few attacks easily wiped out his body protection shield, making the defensive magic weapon's spiritual light dim and difficult to resist.

His feet sank into the petrified earth mound, and there was a huge pull from the ground.

Under the control of the fourth-level underground demon king, strange black silk threads entangled his lower legs and spread to his torso.

The black silk threads were extremely strange, devouring spiritual energy and magic power, and the body was bound and difficult to break free.

This was the strange treasure [Soul Devouring Black Silk] that Elder Teng had never seen in the two sects. It was the wig trophy of the middle-stage Nascent Soul True Lord Mingshui.

In actual combat, Lord Diyan used this treasure for the first time to attack, combined with the fourth-level poison and the soul killing of the master's nail-headed arrow, the effect was unexpectedly good.

In front of Elder Teng, a mysterious middle-aged man in a black cloak was surrounded by blue water light.

This man used mysterious means to sneak into the Teng family's land, which was strictly restricted by the formation, disguised himself as a direct descendant, and attacked Elder Teng in his room.

This terrible infiltration method was unheard of by Elder Teng in the land of the two sects. Perhaps only the leader of the Wujian Sect, one of the six sects of the magic path, could do this.

"I am the leader of the Qinglong Club. Today I came to the land of the two sects to seek justice for my subordinates and resolve past grievances!"

Lu Changan's tone was indifferent, and he controlled the sea flag magic weapon engraved with a water turtle pattern. A huge vortex of water flow suppressed Elder Teng in place.

This time, Lu Changan adopted the infiltration and assassination mode.

[Black Wind Cloak] combined with [Hundred Illusion Mask], it was like entering an empty space in the Teng family's land.

Before taking action, Lu Changan also affixed the thunder talisman to the formation base of the family protection formation in advance.

At the moment of the sudden attack, Elder Teng felt the sensation, but still couldn't avoid a [Nail Head Arrow]

Then came the pincer attack from the top and bottom by Di Yanjun and the Peacock of the Other Spirit.

With the help of the fourth-level poison and the soul-devouring black silk, Elder Teng was almost captured in the first place.

Elder Teng was a Nascent Soul cultivator who was retiring in his old age. His physical functions declined and his life span was less than a hundred years. His strength was much worse than that of Shen Laoxie.

Lu Changan's goal was to capture the Nascent Soul. He was worried that the damage would overflow like last time and he would directly break the target's Nascent Soul.

Therefore, the methods in the latter round are relatively conservative, focusing on siege, and at the same time, beware of the Nascent Soul escaping out of the body.

At this moment, Elder Teng's legal body and Yuan Ying were severely injured, and his strength declined severely.

To deal with this kind of twilight monk, Lu Changan also unceremoniously activated the "Destroying Divine Light", which made the opponent worse, shortening his lifespan and withering his life energy and blood.

…

"Qinglonghui... subordinates?"

Elder Teng was shocked and murmured to himself, knowing that he would not be able to escape today, and just wanted to know the truth.

He had never heard of the Qinglong Society. Just one helmsman had such magical powers, comparable to those in the middle stage of Yuanying. He could not imagine the original appearance of the iceberg hidden in the deep sea.

Elder Teng realized that the truth was related to the "subordinates" mentioned by Master Qinglong.

However, he could not remember any irresolvable life-and-death feud he had formed in the past few hundred years.

"Jie Jie... It seems that Senior Brother Teng can't remember Wei."

The water surged behind him, and the deep and heavy water spread out, revealing a tall, thick, green-armored puppet with a black face and fangs.

Elder Teng was startled at first, and then his face was slightly shaken, and dusty memories came flooding back.

"Junior Brother Wei?"

After recognizing the identity of Master Wei, Elder Teng, as a fourth-level puppet master, quickly noticed something unusual about the blue-armored puppet in front of him.

"You... actually still exist in the world? You turned into a puppet spirit, merged with the true fourth-level puppet, and transformed into a puppet spirit! How did you do this?"

Elder Teng was shocked, as if he had seen a ghost.

According to life expectancy estimates, Puppet Master Wei was plotted by him back then, his Dao foundation was severely damaged, and he had no hope of Nascent Soul, so it was impossible for him to survive until now.

"Jiejie! Brother Teng didn't expect this, did you? Wei turned to the art of ghosts and spirits, and his lifespan was greatly extended. He even received the gift of opportunity from his master to create a true fourth-level puppet, turning ghosts into puppets. Wei was not only able to I can live longer than you do now.”

Puppet Master Wei's words showed his ambition, which made Elder Teng's face drip with gloom, not to mention how uncomfortable he felt inside.

He might as well not know such a truth.

"Senior Brother Teng, I heard that you built a fourth-order giant elephant puppet in Qianji Cult. It is an indestructible war machine. Why don't you take it out today and compete with me."

Wei Puppet Master had not taken any action before, just as support.

Facing the Wei puppet master who was showing off his power and exchanging ideas, Elder Teng was filled with despair and lost his soul.

"The majority of the material investment for the fourth-order giant elephant puppet was made by the Holy Religion. As the builder, Teng only had the right to use it. Now that he is old and in decline, the puppet has been handed over to the Holy Religion for safekeeping in exchange for benefits for future generations. Even if the giant elephant puppet is here, it is no match for Junior Brother Wei’s true fourth-level puppet.”

Elder Teng smiled bitterly and begged again:

"Junior Brother Wei, can you leave some direct bloodline seeds for your senior brother?"

"Hmph! Did you ever show mercy when you plotted against someone? Wei's wife and daughter were all killed by you..."

The blue-armored puppet's eyes flashed with cold ghost flames, and one of its arms suddenly expanded, turning into a huge green steel claw, whipping up a ball of iron-gray wind, and slapped Elder Teng hard.

"Since this person can't produce the giant elephant puppet, there is no need to be merciful."

Lu Changan gave the order for Diyan Lord and Peacock Puppet to launch an offensive.

Seeing it, [Soul-Eating Black Thread] wrapped around Elder Teng's neck, most of his mana was trapped, and his body couldn't struggle open.

The supernatural peacock in the sky once again dropped a five-color aura.

boom!

Elder Teng's face was determined, his magic energy was burning, and he self-destructed his magic body on the spot. The spiritual pressure generated instantly was comparable to that of the middle stage of the Soul Infant.

At the same time, eight puppets in the surrounding puppet army exploded together.

The terrifying tide of spiritual light, accompanied by bloody energy and puppet fragments, caused the vast waters to turbulent and opened several rips.

The attacks of the green-armored puppet, the supernatural peacock, and the earth rock king were neutralized and they were forced to retreat a certain distance.

Lu Changan's face was stern, green light flowed from his body, and another nail-headed arrow appeared in his hand.

The five-color spiritual light of the supernatural peacock in the sky condensed, staring at the area where it exploded.

…

Uh-huh!

A Nascent Soul villain with the image of an old monk, while self-destructing, chose a direction and moved several hundred feet.

Elder Teng Yuanying was severely injured and suffered a loss from the [Nailhead Arrow], which left a psychological shadow. He first escaped in the direction of Lu Changan.

Next is the five-color aura of the supernatural peacock, which makes the Nascent Soul spirit body feel threatened.

Excluding these two general directions, Elder Teng fled towards a gap that exploded in the vast ocean waters.

Even if the Nascent Soul is non-entity, escaping in the opponent's vast waters will still face pressure, consume more, and speed will also be affected to a certain extent.

However, Elder Teng's Nascent Soul spirit body pulled away and found a cyan phantom, which he accurately intercepted nearby.

"Haha, my prediction was right!"

The cyan phantom showed the figure of a black-winged man. His speed was comparable to that of the mid-stage Nascent Soul, and he was able to quickly intercept with his phantom body technique.

On the other side, "Lu Changan" was holding a nail-headed arrow. After the green light faded away, he turned out to be a lifelike spirit tree clone.

Just false threats!

"No! I was fooled!"

Elder Teng's Nascent Soul spirit body trembled.

call!

A strange pale green spider web spread out in the void above the head of the Nascent Soul villain, becoming twenty feet long and wide, just enough to cover its flight trajectory.

Puff!

The old-looking Nascent Soul spirit body couldn't stop and had no time to change direction, as if it had taken the initiative to run into the pale green ghost spider web.

The ghost spider's spiritual silk quickly turned into a spider web cage, trapping the Yuanying spirit body. Wisps of dark ghost power flickered out from the ghost spider silk web.

The Nascent Soul villain felt a numbness and coldness. He tried his best to use the Nascent Soul Secret Technique, but was strangled tighter and tighter by the [Ghost Spider Soul Binding Thread].

Purple-black poisonous smoke appeared on the surface of Nascent Soul's spirit body, and his consciousness was groggy and weak. A feeling of weakness came over him.

"Haha! The Nascent Soul is seriously injured and has been hit by the fourth-level infant poison. How can I let you break free and run away?"

Lu Changan waved his hand and absorbed the Nascent Soul spirit body trapped in the ghost spider web into his palm.

The Nascent Soul spirit body in the ghost spider web was in various negative states, weak and weak, and gave up the struggle.

"Congratulations, master, for capturing the Great Elephant Lord of the Thousand Machines Sect."

Master Wei complimented.

At this moment, his blood-sea enemy Elder Teng's body exploded, leaving only Nascent Soul at his mercy.

"Old Wei, you go and deal with the aftermath, and I'll torture him."

Lu Changan ordered.

Master Wei respectfully accepted the order and left.

There are still some surviving monks in this ancestral home of the Teng family. Naturally, Puppet Master Wei would not let his enemies leave any trouble, and would kill them one by one, leaving no one alive.

…

"Elder Teng, the grudge is settled today. You will hand over the hidden treasure house and the "Qian Ji Yan Shen Jue", and Lu will consider giving you a chance to return to the reincarnation of heaven and earth."

Lu Changan threatened sternly.

"Haha! Idiots are dreaming! Even if you capture this elder alive, you won't be able to obtain the "Thousand Machines of Divine Art". The core of practicing this secret technique in the holy religion, and the relevant memories in the sea of ​​consciousness, have set special and unsolvable restrictions. Even if Even if he is a great monk of Nascent Soul, he may not be able to search for the complete secret method."

Elder Teng faintly sensed the screams in the ancestral house. Several outstanding direct blood descendants were hiding in the secret room, but they were all taken out and killed by Master Wei.

Extremely miserable, he couldn't help but throw his head back and laugh, completely fearless of life and death.

"The Thousand Machines Sect has a secret treasure that plants a unique energy in the soul of the core monks. If you kill this elder Nascent Soul, the Holy Sect will have its own means of tracing the source."

Elder Teng didn't mind any further delay and threatened instead.

"Really? The Thousand Machines Sect only has one mid-stage Nascent Soul in charge, and at most there are fourth-level middle-grade ancestral puppets, and they are checked and balanced by the Five Poison Sect. I really don't believe that your church is doing this for you, an old Yuan who is close to his lifespan. Ying, fight against my Qinglong Society regardless of the cost."

Lu Changan's words made Elder Teng's heart sink.

The helmsman of the Qinglong Society has magical powers that are more terrifying than those in the mid-stage Nascent Soul. He has basically no natural enemies in the Da Qing Realm.

Wait for Wei Puppet Master and Lord Diyan to finish dealing with the aftermath.

Lu Changan reached out coldly and grabbed the Nascent Soul spirit body in the ghost spider web, and at the same time contacted the [Nine-Seal Monument] deep in his consciousness.

Buzz!

The mysterious ancient stele lit up with a grayish white light, and rolled up Elder Teng's Nascent Soul along his conscious arm.

"What's this--"

Elder Teng's consciousness screamed in horror and was sucked into the [Nine-Seal Monument] by the irresistible power of rules, and the Nascent Soul spirit body was twisted into particles.

[Nine-Seal Monument] Within the fifth frame seal, a pure crystal white light emerged at the right moment, lighting up 10% of the area.

"Seven and a half percent!"

Lu Changan couldn't help but feel happy when he saw the lighting progress of the fifth life.

There was no time to check Elder Teng’s memory.

"Quickly retreat!"

Lu Changan put away his puppets, spiritual pets, and magic weapons, and quickly left the scene of the incident under the cover of the [Black Wind Cloak].

The moment Elder Teng's Nascent Soul was strangled and devoured.

The chief helmsman of the Thousand Machines Sect tens of thousands of miles away.

puff!

Elder Teng's life soul lamp went out immediately, alerting the leader of the Holy Cult and several elders.

This was also the reason why Lu Changan didn't devour Yuanying immediately.

It's about stalling the bullshit until the aftermath is over.

Of course, the Nascent Soul cannot stay for long, and the news on the scene will soon be reported to the chief helmsman of the Thousand Machines Sect. The Thousand Machines Sect may have the means to track the elder Yuanying through induction.

…

Two months later.

Lu Changan successfully circled back to the boundary of Fengyuan Kingdom, and did not go to the Snow Mountain Holy Land as a guest, but went directly south to return to the realm of immortal cultivation in Liang Kingdom.

In fact, he could go west from the boundary between the two religions, travel through the boundless poison gas swamp, and return to the Liang Kingdom in a straight line.

However, that would require crossing the two major territories of the Thousand Machine Sect and the Five Poison Sect, and there would be more risks and variables, which would not be conducive to a quick escape.

As for the refining of elixirs such as the Infant Transformation Pill and the third-level quality Life-Extension Pill.

Before Lu Changan sneaked into the genocide, he used another late-stage alchemy-forming vest and asked a fourth-level alchemy master in the Five Poison Sect to refine it through Zhong Tianshi's personal relationship.

The operation in the Land of Two Religions was generally smooth. After all, they were bullying the elderly who were aging and their strength had declined.

However, capturing Yuanying is more difficult than killing Yuanying. To achieve the expected goals, we must also act with all our strength and not be careless in the slightest.

Golden Cloud Valley.

Lu Changan quietly returned to the Evergreen Peak Dojo without alerting the other monks in the sect. At most, he was noticed by Zhang Tianfeng, who possessed the spiritual treasure weapon spirit.

This trip only lasts for a year, so it won't attract anyone's attention.

Lu Changan's whereabouts in the past few years have also been unpredictable and difficult to determine.

As a fourth-level divination master, it is not difficult to cover up the specific whereabouts or deliberately confuse and induce.

The secret room of the cave.

Lu Changan looked back on this long trip, made predictions, and checked for omissions.

"Although there are some suspicions and loopholes, the span between regions is large, and information transmission and sharing are slow. There are no signature features, and it is difficult to make connections out of thin air with people from different regions."

"This Qinglonghui vest should be able to hold up another one."

Lu Changan deliberately led Tianji to guide and conceal the relevant information about the Qinglong Society and the Qinglong Helm, so that the development of fate would be more favorable to him.

Of course, the main reason is that there is no big clue. The magic weapon and magical power Lu Changan displays to the outside world is the water system, not the wood system health-preserving power.

The person who knows the truth best is Master Zhong.

But this fourth-level divination master, wearing the same pants as Lu Changan, would actually help hide the secret.

If not, Master Zhong Tianshi would also be in trouble if Qianji Sect found out about the Snow Mountain Holy Land.

…

Lu Changan carefully counted Elder Teng's trophies again, shaking his head slightly with regret.

Elder Teng's trophies were far inferior to those of Shen Laoxie.

Mainly for two reasons.

First, the legal body at that time self-destructed, damaging some valuable items.

The second is that Elder Teng, as the Nascent Soul cultivator who supports the elderly, cooperates in returning the most valuable fourth-level puppet to the Thousand Machines Sect without full ownership. In this way, he gained a good reputation for being upright and upright, which was used to replace the holy religion's focus on cultivating disciples for future generations.

Fortunately, Elder Teng, as a fourth-level puppet refining master, has many puppet refining treasures that Lu Changan can use, including to complete the puppet army formation.

Conventional magic weapons, spiritual objects, medicinal herbs, talismans, etc., including some advanced strategic resources, are also wealth that the alchemy monks cannot hope for.

Lu Changan often killed Yuanying old monsters, and Lu Changan had long been accustomed to the spiritual resources of Danjieyingjieying.

What Lu Changan really yearned for was the "Qianji Divine Secret", the secret teaching of the Qianji Sect.

Under normal circumstances, even if you search for souls, you will not be able to obtain such top-level secrets involving the soul, or you will not be able to obtain them completely.

However, Lu Changan is an exception.

He closed his eyes and entered the fifth life of the [Nine-Seal Monument], explored the newly lit area, and sorted out the vast and disordered memories of Elder Teng.

On the way back, Lu Changan briefly checked and found out that there were fragments of the "Thousand Machines to Generate Gods" technique inside, and it only took him a while to sort them out.

After being promoted to Nascent Soul, Lu Changan was able to sort out the memory fragments of these Nascent Soul monsters much faster.

Lu Changan learned from his memory that the Qianji Sect did have a way to trace the source of the Nascent Soul that normally killed Elder Killing Vine. But it is not as simple as imagined, and it requires a lot of cost. If the distance is far, the effect will be greatly reduced.

What's more, Lu Changan used the [Nine-Seal Monument] to devour the Nascent Soul spirit body, eliminating some hidden dangers related to the evil spirits of cause and effect.

This is a conclusion drawn based on the details of his memory and the elimination of any abnormal aura on his body.

…

A few days later.

Lu Changan sorted out the "Qian Ji Yan Shen Jue" from the memory fragments.

In order to increase the error tolerance rate, Lu Changan asked Master Wei to understand, study and verify together.

As a puppet-refining genius, Puppet Master Wei was extremely excited to have the opportunity to understand the Qianji Sect's secret method of suppressing the sect.

When he killed his family to take revenge, he was not so excited.

"The "Qian Ji Yan Shen Jue" is in the same vein as the puppet inheritance that we practiced before, the secret technique of teaching and controlling the puppets of Qian Ji. We have laid the foundation, understand this secret technique, and just switch to cultivation normally."

After some research, Master Wei brought surprising news.

"Qian Ji Yan Shen Jue" is divided into nine levels. The lowest training requirement is the foundation building stage, and only at this time can it be considered as entry level.

Entering the palace is not considered until the Nascent Soul stage, which involves spiritual soul cultivation and many wonderful uses of the power of spiritual consciousness.

The amplifying effect of "Qian Ji Yan Shen Jue" on spiritual consciousness varies from person to person.

For ordinary high-level monks, their spiritual consciousness can be enhanced by 30 to 50%.

Those with extraordinary talents can be enhanced by more than 50%.

A top-level innate Taoist body with a soul type can at most be promoted to nearly a small realm.

However, there have been very few people with this kind of innate soul in the world of immortality since ancient times, let alone the top beings among them.

Elder Teng's puppet-making qualifications are actually pretty good, but not as good as Master Wei's.

However, he did not have the talent for the soul, and his progress in practicing the "Thousand Machines to Evolve the Gods" was not very fast. He only reached the seventh level and his spiritual consciousness increased by 30%.

That was still the heyday. After his twilight years, the legal body and the Nascent Soul began to age, but they declined somewhat.

Based on Master Wei's research, Lu Changan tried to practice the "Thousand Machines to Evolve the Gods" and found that the progress was relatively smooth and he was much better than Elder Teng.

"After several reincarnations, my innate soul has become stronger. It seems to be suitable for the "Thousands of Machines to Evolve the Gods"."

Lu Changan was overjoyed. It is estimated that when he reaches the seventh Nascent Soul stage, his basic consciousness will be comparable to that of the Nascent Soul stage without the advent of the fourth life.
