Chapter 448: Green Mountain Cultivation, Journey to the Central Region

One month later.

Lu Changan not only passed through the borders of the Seven Kingdoms Alliance, but also escaped from the surrounding demon battlefield.

With Wang Feng's token of the true king, traveling through the territory of the Seven Nations Alliance went smoothly.

Passing through the radiation area of ​​the Demonic Battlefield, there are some twists and turns.

Fortunately, Lu Changan put away the quasi-fourth-order big bird puppet at the critical moment, covered his aura with the black wind cloak, and avoided the scanning of his spiritual consciousness.

Although the black wind cloak is made of fifth-level material, it is not a real magic weapon, so it cannot cover the large bird puppet.

The black wind cloak mainly has a concealing effect and has no invisibility function.

It works best in a static state, or when breathing and sneaking.

If you are in a fighting or flying state, the black wind cloak cannot cover your aura.

"Fortunately, he was not discovered by the Demonic Dao Nascent Soul on the road like True Lord Aoki did back then, and got into a fight. As a result, the Evergreen Dao Fruit had a clear induction, and the good opportunity was missed."

Lu Changan looked back at the direction of the Seven Nations Alliance and the Demonic Battlefield, and murmured.

He controlled the big bird puppet under his seat and flew towards the border of the Eastern Region.

The wing frame of this big bird comes from the fourth-level roc bird of Lord Qingmu. Its flight speed is no less than that of an early Nascent Soul monk.

Although the next journey is longer, it can speed up appropriately since it is away from the demonic battlefield.

…

Half a year later.

Daqing Middle Region, Bishan Sect.

In the shimmering spirit-washing pool, a man in a green robe sits cross-legged and performs his martial arts. The evergreen mana of the ancient trees makes the surrounding flowers and trees full of life.

The man in green robe is full of heaven, his face is not outstanding, and the aura of wood magic power from the Nascent Soul stage leaks out from his body.

"Junior Brother Aoki, how is your mana recovering?"

In the forbidden area of ​​​​the Bishan Sect, two rays of light from the Nascent Soul stage arrived one after another.

First there was an upright, silver-haired old man with kind eyes and a gentle tone.

"Senior Brother Aoki."

Another beauty in green shirt, Pingping Tingting, has an elegant fragrance and a voice like tinkling spring water.

This Nascent Soul female cultivator showed concern in her bright Qiu Shui eyes, and she pursed her red lips again before she could speak.

"Please ask Senior Brother Chen and Junior Sister Tian for your concern."

Lord Aoki quickly stood up and raised his hands to the two of them.

"With the help of the sect's Spirit Cleansing Pond, my cultivation level has been stabilized. It's just that it will take a year or two to recover to the peak of the early Nascent Soul."

Compared with the calm and gentle look of the past, Lord Aoki's smile now seems a little forced and a bit bitter.

"Senior Brother Qingmu, why didn't you come back as soon as possible when your Nascent Soul left the body and reshaped the Dharma Body. In this way, Junior Sister can also take care of you and recover as soon as possible..."

Junior Sister Tian stared at him with a hint of blame in her resentful tone.

Without the protection of the sect, the Yuanying spirit body that was left alone and seriously injured would be very risky to reshape the Dharma body, and some accidents might occur.

Lord Aoki smiled bitterly and explained:

"Alas, it's not that senior brother doesn't want to return to the sect as soon as possible. At that time, I was seriously injured by the soul magic weapon and almost collapsed. I was unable to cross the long distance and return to the Bishan sect."

"Fortunately, I have a collection of rare trees from heaven and earth, which are suitable for the wood-type Nascent Soul to reshape the body. In this way, there is no need to take over the body, and there are fewer risks."

When Lord Aoki cultivated the Yimu clone in his early years, he kept a small piece of precious Yimu as a spare.

The spiritual objects of heaven and earth that are suitable for reshaping the legal body are extremely rare and almost extinct in the world, and their value is far greater than the spiritual objects of infant formation.

Aoki Zhenjun was born through the longevity of the Evergreen Gong, and then he cultivated Yimu with a sufficient number of grades.

"Senior Brother Aoki is so lucky! Rebuilding the Dharmakaya with spiritual objects from heaven and earth that fit the technique has less side effects and greater potential than taking the body and rebuilding it. In the future, it is expected to reach the middle stage of Nascent Soul."

Silver-haired Senior Brother Chen laughed loudly, helped Aoki Aoki cover up, and changed the subject.

Why doesn’t Lord Aoki come back soon?

I'm afraid that I don't have 100% trust in the Bishan Sect where I am.

Therefore, when he returned to the sect two years ago, his cultivation level initially returned to the Nascent Soul stage. Then, with the help of the sect's spiritual energy resources, he can speed up the restoration of his full mana.

Junior Sister Tian understands this, so she is a little dissatisfied.

Many years ago, Aoki saved her life when she was searching for treasure in the secret realm of the Central Region, so she had a good impression of her.

Aoki Dao has a firm heart and is unfazed by favors and disgrace.

After lying dormant for many years, it showed great success in the Demonic War in the Eastern Region, allowing Bishan Sect to grow and become a powerful immortal cultivation sect under the ten sects of Xuanmen.

Being together in the sect for a long time, experiencing hardships, discussing Taoism and practicing, gradually made Junior Sister Tian secretly fall in love with her.

It's a pity that Lord Aoki is just like his name, a piece of wood that doesn't know the style.

He is devoted to cultivating Taoism, lives in seclusion, and has no reaction at all to the love between men and women.

Junior Sister Tian's true friendship was betrayed invisibly.

…

The three of them moved into the pavilion.

Senior Brother Chen and Junior Sister Tian asked about the specific causes and consequences.

"Junior Brother Aoki, you lost contact with us more than ten years ago, but you were injured by the newly rising giant in the Eastern Region, 'Evergreen True Lord'."

"Yes, it's this person!"

Lord Aoki took a deep breath and his eyes became cold.

When he thought of Lu Changqing and the battle that year, his face looked gloomy and his heart was filled with resentment.

If there were no Yuan Ying assassins from Wu Jian Sect who attacked behind him at critical moments, he would not have been defeated so miserably.

At least, there is a chance to collect the sword formation, magic weapon, fourth-level roc, and Yimu clone. The losses are not that heavy.

Without these powerful means, even if he regains his peak cultivation level, his fighting skills will decline significantly.

After his Nascent Soul escaped a certain distance, he cast a spell in the air to make Yimu's clone and the fourth-level Pengniao self-destruct to avoid attacking the enemy.

Among them, the fourth-level roc was inexplicably extinguished before he cast the spell, possibly due to the terrifying nail-headed arrow.

"It is indeed True Lord Evergreen!"

Senior Brother Chen was thoughtful.

The years when True Lord Aoki disappeared were the period when True Lord Evergreen was powerful in the Eastern Territory and his fame spread throughout Daqing.

He was not sure before, but now it seems that Junior Brother Aoki should be a practitioner of the legendary "Evergreen Kung Fu".

"Next time I fight this person, Senior Brother Aoki must call my little sister."

There was a cold light in Junior Sister Tian's eyes.

She was in love with the whole family, and she felt a little bad towards Lu Changqing, whom she had never met and only heard rumors about.

"Junior sister, please don't be alone and take action against Lu Changqing! This person's magical powers are unfathomable and extremely sinister and vicious."

Lord Aoki's expression changed and he immediately warned.

Looking at the serious-looking Lord Aoki, Junior Sister Tian smiled:

"My little sister is not that stupid. If she really wants to take action, the three of us, brother and sister, will join forces to make her pay a heavy price."

"Speaking of which, is True Lord Evergreen's magical power really that powerful? Can it be compared to the leader of the Demon Sect?"

"The rumors are not exaggerated in the slightest."

Lord Aoki said solemnly.

"However, with our three Nascent Souls joining forces and using the Zhenzong treasure and the fourth-level formation, even if Lu Changqing is a little stronger, we still won't be able to defeat him head-on."

Hearing this, Senior Brother Chen couldn't help but be stunned.

Junior Brother Aoki, whose strength is comparable to that of the mid-stage Nascent Soul, now only wants to defend passively and has no idea of ​​taking the initiative to take revenge.

There was silence for a while.

Senior Brother Chen said in a deep voice: "Junior Brother Qingmu must believe in the Bishan Sect, and we will share life and death together!"

"Thank you, Senior Brother Chen."

Lord Aoki felt a sense of warmth in his heart.

Facing an unprecedentedly powerful enemy, the two Nascent Soul monks from the Bishan Sect stood firmly on his side, right or wrong.

In his early years, he chose to join the Bishan Sect, mainly because he considered the fourth-level spiritual veins and needed a stable and comfortable training environment.

He has many secrets of his own. As a righteous sect, Bishan Sect is not weak in strength, but not too powerful like the ten Xuanmen sects, so it is a suitable choice.

Also because he had too many secrets and was too cautious, Qingmu did not ask the Nascent Soul monks from the Bishan Sect for help when dealing with Lu Changan.

"Senior Brother Chen has known the master of the Seven Stars Temple for a long time and has a good relationship. Could you please ask him to do a favor for me?"

After deliberation for a long time, Lord Aoki made a request.

"Master Mi Guan has a transcendent status, so I can't wait for Nascent Soul to invite him. Senior brother, if I dare to show my shame, I should be able to ask him to take action once."

Senior Brother Chen frowned slightly and said in confusion:

"Junior brother is meditating in the Bishan Sect. Is it possible that he still feels uneasy? No matter how powerful Lu Changqing is, does he really dare to take action within the sphere of influence of the ten Xuanmen sects?"

The favor of Qixingguan is very important, and it will only be used when the life and death of Bishan Sect is at stake.

"My intuition tells me that Lu Changqing will never give up. This gentleman is unpredictable and his consciousness is better than that of the average mid-stage Nascent Soul. Once the 'Qingxuan Sword Formation' is refined, he will be a huge threat."

Lord Aoki revealed part of the truth.

During the battle that year, Lu Changqing's terrifying consciousness suddenly surged at a critical moment, which left a deep impression on him.

Recently, he felt inexplicably uneasy.

Even if he is practicing in seclusion in the sect, he still feels uneasy.

Lord Aoki has repeatedly thought about the tragic defeat that year, including being ambushed by the Demon Sect earlier and joining forces to hunt him down, which was full of dangers.

Eventually, he came to a conclusion.

The two tragic defeats were both related to divination.

Behind Lu Changan, there is an ally who is a fourth-level divination master.

After the defeat in the Beast King Valley, this relationship is no longer a secret to the major forces in the world of immortality.

Facing the advanced Lu Changan and the calculations of the fourth-level divination master, True Lord Aoki did not feel safe enough even if he was hiding in the Bishan Sect.

Qixingguan is a cultivating force that specializes in astrological divination, and its related inheritance is the oldest in Daqing.

The power of the Six Demonic Sects has not yet swept across the Eastern Region. This is related to the behind-the-scenes promotion of Qixingguan, one of the ten sects of Xuanmen.

In previous actions, Aoki did not dare to alarm the Seven Stars Temple due to his own secrets, and even deliberately avoided contact.

But now, most of the secrets of "Evergreen Gong" are known to the big bosses of the ten Xuanmen sects. In order to resolve the unprecedented crisis, Lord Aoki could not take into account all aspects.

…

"Senior Brother Aoki, you must use that favor..."

"Sure!"

Half an hour later, Senior Brother Chen and Junior Sister Tian left one after another.

Junior Sister Tian left later, her eyes filled with warmth, leaving behind a storage bag:

"Senior Brother Aoki, you lost your protective magic weapon in the battle. There are two high-grade magic weapons here, as well as several fourth-level wood materials. Senior brother can use them to refine the magic weapon."

Lord Aoki took the storage bag and hesitated to speak, staring blankly at the graceful figure riding away in the wind.

He then left the Spirit Cleansing Pond and returned to his Cyanwood Forest Cave.

"The art of divination..."

In the cave, Lord Aoki thought hard for a long time and could not find a way to break the situation.

The existence of a fourth-level divination master creates a permanent information gap between the enemy and ourselves.

He had a vague feeling that his body, the Yimu Dharma Body, had not completely died after its vitality was cut off.

Using this body skin as a medium, the fourth-level divination master made calculations and tracking, and made various calculations to gain an absolute advantage.

Fortunately, the Bishan Sect is still able to protect itself. Once you leave the sect, the risks are unpredictable.

He regretted that he had not made up his mind to study divination.

First, there is no qualification in this area.

On the other hand, most of his longevity is used to improve his combat power and cultivate elixirs and spirits. He also has good attainments in weapon refining and formations.

As the saying goes, there is gain in giving.

If he puts a lot of energy into divination, he will not have the peak combat power of Changqing and many life-saving trump cards.

"No one wants to give up everything they have been doing for hundreds of years unless they have no choice..."

The error-free version is being read! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.

Lord Aoki let out a long sigh, spread his hands and took out a simple, yellowed map made of an unknown animal skin material.

The animal skin map outlines the general terrain of Daqing and more than ten surrounding areas, with routes and forces marked.

In Daqing, the terrain of the Black Mist Mountains is clearly visible.

There are only less than ten forces that can be marked on the animal skin map, including Taiyue Sect, Mingquan Sect, Xuanqing Sect, and Beast King Valley.

Among them, Taiyue Sect drew a faint red circle.

Other major sects of cultivating immortals, including some sects of Xuanmen and Demonic Dao, are not even qualified to be labeled.

Not to mention the lower-level Nascent Soul forces such as the Wei Dao Alliance and the Seven Nations Alliance.

Lord Aoki's fingers slowly moved across the animal skin map, passing through the boundaries of the two adjacent states of Daqing.

The adjacent map tiles are not very different, but there are large areas of barren land and natural chasms between them, and the distance is extremely long.

In the end, Lord Aoki's finger landed on a state boundary where the plate far exceeded its surroundings and stood out from the rest.

It's called "Tianhe State".

The map plate of this state boundary is several times larger than Daqing.

On the map plate, a huge river connecting the sky can be clearly seen, which connects the huge territory of a state and divides it into two.

…

In the mountains and forests two thousand miles away from the Bishan Sect.

A figure in a black robe and cloak blends into the shade of the tree.

"Shenjun Aoki's recovery is faster than expected. If this person is stuck in a shelter, he will indeed be in some trouble."

Inside the black wind cloak, Lu Changan calculated for a moment and frowned slightly.

A strong attack is unrealistic.

A complete sect of cultivating immortals, with a complete fourth-level formation, many Nascent Souls in charge, and tens of thousands of disciples.

Even if the Nascent Soul cultivator wants to attack by force, he still needs to rely on the cultivating forces behind him.

Besides, Lu Changan only had one chance to take action.

Bishan Sect belongs to the ten camps of Xuanmen and is located in the hinterland of the Central Region.

Once he takes action, regardless of success or failure, Lu Changan will immediately offend the strongest alliance of immortal cultivators in Daqing.

If you evacuate a little slower, you may be chased by the Nascent Soul boss from the ten Xuanmen sects.

No matter how powerful his magical power is, he is still weak in the Central Territory.

Therefore, if you want to capture Lord Aoki, it is best to ambush him alone.

The second is to sneak in and assassinate, which is a bad strategy and has high risks and variables.

Even if the assassination is successful, he may be entangled by the other two Nascent Souls of the Bishan Sect and cooperate with the fourth-level formation to stay for a while to escape the trouble.

"When facing a Gou Dao monk, don't act too hastily."

Lu Changan looked slightly distressed.

In the past, he relied on Gou to develop silently, surpass those darlings of the times, and then take revenge later.

Nowadays, he has absolute crushing strength, but the opponents he faces are stubborn and have no good opportunities to make a move.

After all, the Central Territory is not their own territory.

Unlike the war-torn Eastern Region, the Central Region was peaceful and orderly, and the cost of attacking a Goudao Nascent Soul was too high.

Even with the fourth-level divination skills, Lu Changan had to be careful in using them in the Central Territory and not be reckless.

The Seven Stars Temple of the Ten Sects of Xuanmen is the founder of Daqing divination.

Rumor has it that the master of the Seven Star Temple may be able to touch the level of the fourth-level mid-level in the divination process.

In terms of technical strength, heritage, and divination sacred objects, he surpassed Lu Changan and Zhong Tianshi.

Therefore, before Lu Changan set out, he asked Master Feng Yuan to help him secretly.

Various factors limited Lu Changan's actions in the Central Region.

…

Half a day later.

After completing the mission, Lu Changan returned to Bishui City within the jurisdiction of the Bishan Sect.

This fairy city is built on the lake and is the property of the Bishan Sect.

Lu Changan has been in the Central Region for two or three months.

Previously, he changed his identity through Baihuan Mask and settled in Bishui City as a fake alchemy cultivator to inquire about the news.

The disguised image of Lu Changan is that of a fake alchemy monk in a black robe and cloak. Ordinary monks can't see the reality of the black wind cloak at all.

He was not sure whether the [Black Wind Cloak] had a certain shielding effect on the Evergreen Dao Fruit's induction, but it was definitely safer to wear it.

In the Central Territory, there are many famous mountains and rivers, and the aura of heaven and earth is much stronger than that of the Eastern Territory.

Overall, it is similar to the Great Abyss Central Region.

Due to the destruction of the demon-sealed land and ancient battlefields in the Great Abyss Central Region, the cultivation environment is the worst in the Great Abyss Realm, and is actually not as good as other regions.

Return to Fairy City Inn.

Lu Changan meditated and became quiet, but he couldn't practice.

In order to isolate the induction of the Evergreen Dao Fruit, he banned his magic power and even sealed himself to the Nascent Soul.

He can only take one shot in the Central Territory, and it is not limited to Lord Aoki.

Fighting with any monk will cause the Evergreen Dao Fruit to react, alerting True Lord Aoki.

Fortunately, Lu Changan is also a cultivator. He has puppets, talismans, and fourth-level spiritual pets, so he doesn't need magic power to deal with ordinary troubles.

Inside the inn.

Lu Changan had several divination objects floating around him. He had been calculating for a long time, but there was no good chance to break the situation.

"The Gou Dao monks are indeed difficult to deal with! If it is consumed for a long time, I will not be able to practice. It is a waste of time..."

Lu Changan was not sure how long he could take it.

With the help of Aoki's corpse skin, the divination target has been locked and can be continuously tracked.

The problem is that the target is hiding and not coming out. There is no other way to enter except for strong attack and infiltration assassination.

Fortunately, as a similar cultivator, Lu Changan has enough patience.

He has to wait for a variable, a good opportunity.

...

In a blink of an eye, Lu Changan has arrived in Daqingzhongyu for more than half a year.

Just as he expected.

Qingmu Zhenjun has been practicing in seclusion and never went out.

Even the other two Yuanying did not leave the mountain gate.

On the contrary, the Jindan and Jianji cultivators of Bishan Sect went out to communicate and interact with each other. Everything was normal.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Lu Changan did not attack the Bishan Sect cultivators. He just secretly absorbed a few mana auras to prepare for possible disguise and infiltration in the future.

There are Bishan Sect cultivators stationed in Bishui City where Lu Changan settled.

Through the "Heavenly Demon Secret Art", Lu Changan can sneak into the mind, trigger the inner demon, and obtain some useful information.

Bishan Sect itself has no obvious flaws.

The three Yuanyings of the sect have a harmonious relationship.

After showing his strong strength in the East Region Demon War, Qingmu Zhenjun did not take over the main position, had no interest in the power of the sect, and still respected the Yuanying senior brother of the Green Mountain Sect.

There was no rumor that Qingmu Zhenjun had done evil in the past, but he had a good reputation for eradicating evil cultivators of the Demon Dao.

All parties have positive evaluations, and there is no definite bad record.

Qingmu Zhenjun is alone, without a wife or concubine, and there is not a single maid in the cave.

There is no kinship disciple either.

Qingmu Zhenjun did not accept any disciples. Originally, he was born in a cultivation family, but hundreds of years have passed, and blood ties have long faded.

"Is Qingmu Zhenjun a kind and law-abiding righteous cultivator?"

Lu Changan pondered.

More than a hundred years ago, when Lu Changan moved to the Great Abyss, Qingmu came to the Weidao League and made significant contributions in the Demon Dao War, helping to share the pressure.

Zhang Tianfeng had dealt with him before, and they even had some comradeship, so he had a good opinion of him.

At that time, Lu Changan could not be found, and Qingmu Zhenjun did not take action against his old friends or descendants, causing harm to innocent people and killing innocent people.

Until this day.

Lu Changan got a piece of information from the outside world, and finally ushered in an opportunity.

"Two years later, there will be a large auction held in the Central Region every 20 years. The Chamber of Commerce that held it is said to have the background of the 'Taiyue Sect' of the Ten Sects of Xuanmen, and its reputation is guaranteed. By then, not only will the cultivators of the Central Region participate, but high-level cultivators from all regions of Daqing will also come after hearing the news."

When Lu Changan learned of this news, he made a brief calculation and was immediately overjoyed.

At first glance, this information has nothing to do with the Bishan Sect and Qingmu Zhenjun.

But Lu Changan knew that in the battle of Changqing that year, Qingmu Zhenjun's body was destroyed, and he did not have time to collect the protective magic weapon.

Qingxuan Sword Formation, Thunder Wood Stake, Dragon Scale Armor, Xuanguan Ancient Mirror, etc., all fell into Lu Changan's hands.

The soul magic weapon was destroyed and scrapped by the nail-headed arrow.

It can be said that the magic weapon of Qingmu Zhenjun was basically lost.

"How could a cultivator of the Gou Dao lose the magic weapon to protect the Dao and the trump card to save his life and miss the opportunity to develop? The highest-level auction in Daqing, many magic weapons, top-quality materials, and spiritual objects of heaven and earth..."

Although Lu Changan seized Qingmu's magic weapon and sword formation that year, the storage ring was taken away by the Yuanying who had left his body.

Therefore, Qingmu Zhenjun still has certain financial resources and family background to make a comeback and develop again.

"By then, even if Qingmu Zhenjun does not go out, Bishan Sect will probably have enough weight of cultivators to participate. It is a rare opportunity and breakthrough!"

Of course, Lu Changan himself also has great expectations and needs for the top auction in Daqing Central Region.

The spiritual resources for the Xuanshui Turtle to cultivate to the top of the third level and be promoted to the fourth-level demon king are not prepared enough.

Seeking spiritual medicine for the Xuanshui Turtle to break through is another purpose of Lu Changan's trip to the Central Region.
