I am evergreen in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 387 The chaos of demons, the fourth level of spiritual transformation

Lu Changan, who was practicing in seclusion, realized that Xuan Shuigui's promotion was within his expectations.

After absorbing a large amount of innate turbidity from the decay of Xuantian's relics, the Xuanshui Turtle's bloodline transformed, at least comparable to a heavenly product. Although it is a third-level black turtle, its lifespan is not much lower than that of Lu Changan.

The lifespan of ordinary monster species is similar to that of humans. But those legendary species, such as the true spirit dragon and phoenix, and the unicorn and black turtle, have extremely long lifespans. The corresponding descendants of the true spirit bloodline, species above the earth level, have longevity far beyond that of ordinary monsters.

"This fourth-level blood dragon fruit is a rare body-refining holy fruit in the world of immortality. Even if it cannot advance me to the fourth-level body-refining fruit, it can still increase my physical strength."

Lu Changan took out a jade box and unlocked a dragon-scale blood-colored fruit sealed inside. Its value was close to the Tianying Fruit.

The huge blood energy of heaven and earth surged in the secret room.

During the Nascent Soul Heavenly Thunder Tribulation three years ago, Lu Changan's body was slightly baptized by the Heavenly Thunder.

At that time, his body-refining bottleneck was faintly loosened, but he lost this feeling after overcoming the tribulation.

This fourth-level blood dragon fruit was the dividend compensation given by Jing Wufeng after he came out of the Ancient Nether Palace.

Lu Changan originally planned to collect more precious body refining materials in the future to refine a breakthrough body refining holy elixir.

However, the current era in the world of immortality is not suitable for physical cultivation. The body-refining treasure materials of level 4 and above are almost extinct, and it is still far away from gathering the materials.

Even if you refine a breakthrough fourth-level body-refining holy elixir, there is no guarantee that you will be promoted to the fourth level.

In addition to qualifications and opportunities, there are also the constraints of the world and environment.

In recent times, fifth-level body refining has been unheard of, and fourth-level body refining may be the limit in the human world. Therefore, promotion is far more difficult than getting married.

Lu Changan simply took it immediately. Even if the chance of promotion was very low, he could still improve his physical training strength.

a few days later.

Lu Changan failed to advance to the fourth level through body training.

However, his body, energy, and blood increased significantly by several percent, and the bottleneck was loosened, allowing him to reach the quasi-fourth level of body refining.

The impact of body training was just a small episode during Lu Changan's seclusion.

Most of his energy was devoted to improving his magical powers and secret arts.

With the insights of the fourth life of the Nascent Soul and the memories and experiences of many Nascent Souls, Lu Changan practiced certain similar magical powers and secret methods, and it was easy to understand by analogy.

For example, "Phantom Wood Clone" is very consistent with the attributes of Evergreen Gong. The memories of the three Nascent Souls were that they had all practiced similar physical skills.

Lu Changan practiced "Phantom Wood Clone" in this life and easily achieved a small success.

In essence, in addition to maintaining his original intention, Lu Changan is equivalent to the reincarnation of the old monster Nascent Soul and rebuilding, not Hu Ang's half-hearted rebuilding with the fusion of residual souls.

……

During the retreat, another three years passed.

On this day, Yunxia Sect gave birth to a late-stage pill-forming master named Caiyue Zhenren.

Compared with when Lu Changan first came to Yunxia Sect, the sect's luck was much stronger and it was a prosperous scene.

The old and new members of the sect are changing, and capable people are emerging in large numbers. From top to bottom, everything is clearly beyond the era when True Lord Yun Lan was in power.

Some monks in the sect privately discussed that Zixia Zhenjun was better at managing the sect than his senior brother Yun Lan.

The newly promoted Caiyue Zhenren held a small celebration.

Xiao Qingshan sent a congratulatory gift to Lu Changan. After all, Master Caiyue gave a generous gift during the Nascent Soul Ceremony.

"In the past six months, the General Affairs Office has added two new tasks to exterminate demons. It's very strange."

"Not only our Yunxia Sect, but also some demonized monsters have appeared sporadically in various major forces in Dayu Kingdom. Fortunately, most of them are below the third level and are not harmful."

"With such abnormal signs, could it be that the catastrophe of demonic chaos is about to sweep through the Central Region again?"

At Xiaoqing's party, the monks of the sect talked loudly, and the signs of the demon's resurgence were a hot topic.

For Xiao Qingshan, the chaos of demons is unfamiliar. When the last demon disaster occurred, his mother was not even born.

Several high-level sects present here have long been paying attention to this.

However, the current small number of middle and low-level monsters is not enough for them to take action personally.

Xuefeng Sect Master whispered: "The signs of the demon's revival this time are much earlier than before. According to the predictions of the divination master, the demon chaos will break out on a large scale within ten years at the latest, and the Central Region will bear the brunt."

Master Caiyue sighed quietly: "The demon disaster has little impact on the top level of the world of immortality, but I don't know how many ordinary monks will die."

……

After Xiaoqing, Xiao Qingshan returned to Yunlan Peak and compiled and recorded the recent outside information in jade slips for Xiang Zhenjun to check after he leaves the customs.

The signs of demonic calamity have no effect on Lord Diyan.

Since Xuan Shui Turtle was promoted to the late third level, it has also begun to practice diligently in the past few years.

At the same time, he did not forget to supervise Hu Ang's every move.

Recently, a blue-armored puppet with the same mission sat cross-legged in the underground palace, entering a state of tranquility that seemed to be half asleep, completely forgetting the outside world.

Both the master and the blue-armored puppet were in seclusion, so Mr. Diyan had no choice but to shoulder the heavy burden.

Lu Changan is not closed off about life and death, and his spiritual consciousness occasionally checks the situation in the outside world.

"If the demon rebellion breaks out within ten years, it will be a good opportunity."

Lu Changan murmured.

He thought about the monsters he encountered during his travels. Although they were controlled by ghost cultivators, it was not accidental.

During the past demon turmoil, some remaining demons, or demonic power, were scattered in every corner of the Central Territory of the Great Abyss.

The demon disaster in the Central Region is said to have a certain connection with the Ancient Nether Palace.

Normally, the demon turmoil occurs within a century or so of the Ancient Nether Palace.

But the last time the Ancient Youdian Palace was also unusual, there were a large number of participants and the chance of finding treasures was greater than before.

……

Five years later.

The number of demons in the Central Territory of the Great Abyss has increased significantly, and third-level demons occasionally appear, bringing destruction to various places in the world of immortality.

In the forbidden area of ​​​​the Central Territory, demonic energy surged, and many monsters with confused intelligence rushed out in advance.

One-third of Yunxia Sect's sect tasks are related to exterminating demons.

This year, Lu Changan finally ended his ten-year retreat.

After ten years of hard training, Lu Changan's magic power has improved slightly, but his magical power has improved significantly.

With ten years of limited time, Lu Changan majored in the highly lethal "Destroying Divine Light", supplemented by several other magical powers and secrets that were easy to learn.

The reason why I majored in "Destroying Divine Light" was because it was compatible with the wood-based techniques, especially the Evergreen Technique, which was also very lethal to living creatures.

The characteristic of "Destroying Divine Light" is to stifle vitality, which is extremely harmful to flesh and blood creatures, animals and plants.

It is said that the land hit by the "Destroying Divine Light" will not grow any grass within a hundred years.

If it hits a monk, the life essence will be greatly withered.

Take Lu Changan's Nascent Soul Master's "Withered Divine Light" as an example. If an ordinary alchemy cultivator is hit from the front, he will turn into a pile of withered bones in an instant.

Even if the Nascent Soul cultivator is exposed to the body, the essence, blood and vitality will be lost, reducing the temporary fighting strength.

If the "Destroying Divine Light" is cultivated to a great level, it usually takes the middle and late stages of Nascent Soul to achieve it. Its power is even higher. If it is slightly touched during a fight, the target's lifespan can be reduced.

To practice this magical power, Lu Changan consumed a lot of blood and energy. In order to speed up the progress, he also lost three years of his life.

This is still the fourth level of his physical training. If the quality of essence, blood, and energy were replaced by an ordinary Yuanying in the early stage, he would probably lose ten years of his life.

If one consumes essence, blood and lifespan at all costs during the battle, the power of the "Destroying Divine Light" can be increased to a higher level, which poses a great threat to monks below the middle stage of Nascent Soul.

With this magical power, Lu Changan has greatly strengthened his offensive capabilities.

Of course, there is no perfect magical power in this world.

"Withering Divine Light" also has limitations.

First, this magical power can penetrate the spiritual light of the magic shield, but it is easily blocked by defensive magic weapons, especially heavy magic weapons and metallic magic weapons.

After all, "Destroying Divine Light" belongs to the wood-type magical power, and it also has attribute restraints.

Second, its lethality against non-living things is very weak, such as dead puppets.

Things like puppets and zombies are not living things, so they are not afraid of the "Destruction Divine Light".

However, as a puppet master, Lu Changan has many puppets and is not afraid of being restrained by such means.

In addition to these two limitations, there are also things that most magical powers have in common.

No matter how powerful the magical power is, it must hit the target to be effective.

If the target is extremely fast or has a higher level, if it is blocked and resolved, the "Destroying Divine Light" will not be able to touch the enemy's body. Even if the effect is incredible, it will be in vain.

Lu Changan is not worried about this. He has many methods to help him. Puppet, spiritual pets, treasure talismans, and magic weapons can all involve and suppress the enemy. On this basis, activating "Destroying Divine Light" will be even more powerful!

……

In addition to magical powers and secret techniques, Lu Changan also found time to refine and improve the quality of his main magic weapons and smelt precious materials. [Dragon Wood Staff] Smelts dragon bones and purifies dragon blood, and its power quality is improved.

[Nailhead Arrows] are also valuable materials that have been incorporated into the past reserves, such as the fourth-level mid-grade [Purple Nether Ore], which is also a dividend from the Ancient Nether Palace.

This mine is an extremely rare soul treasure material that can increase the quality of [Nailhead Arrows] and the lethality of the soul.

When I was building the Alien Peacock, I was not willing to use [Purple Nether Ore], but only used two other fourth-level mid-grade materials.

The main material of the shaft of the [Nailhead Arrow] is the precious soul-nurturing wood in the world of immortality. Under the cultivation of Lu Changan for hundreds of years, its spiritual quality also exceeds the ordinary fourth-level mid-grade spiritual wood.

This kind of precious spiritual wood in the world of immortality, if the environment of heaven and earth allows it, can theoretically grow infinitely to the fifth level, sixth level, or even higher.

Just like a monk's natal magic weapon, as long as the cultivation level continues to improve, the materials can be smelted, sacrificed, refined and cultivated. In theory, it can be infinitely improved and the immortal treasure can be forged.

……

"After ten years of seclusion, I have reached the age of 391, and there are only ten years left before Jing Wufeng's promise to seal the demon."

Lu Changan counted the time.

I owed Jing Wufeng a promise back then to help him seal a dangerous place in the forbidden area of ​​the Central Territory where the demonic energy leaked within a period of time.

Without Jing Wufeng's help, he would not have been able to kill Shi Xinlong in the past, and Lord Diyan might not have been able to be promoted to the fourth level Demon King.

Now that the demonic energy is pouring out of the forbidden area in the Central Territory, I wonder if it will have an impact on the agreement at that time.

Not long after she came out of seclusion, Fairy Zixia visited Yunlan Peak in person to exchange information on what had happened in the past ten years.

Among them, there was news about Jing Wufeng.

Jiang Ziyan said: "Three years ago, Lord Jing Tianzhen appeared in the Central Territory, attracting the attention of many Yuanying old monsters."

"In a battle two years ago, Lord Jing Tianzhen was undefeated against a giant in the middle stage of Yuanying. He also took advantage of the chaos to kill an early stage Yuanying without even escaping the spirit body of Yuanying..."

Mentioning this matter, Jiang Ziyan's starry eyes showed fear.

Jing Tianjun's magical power breaks the convention that ordinary Nascent Soul Lords are difficult to fall.

Lu Changan was also envious after hearing this.

Jing Wufeng possesses special spatial powers, which may be able to limit the escape of the Nascent Soul spirit body.

Lu Changan happened to lack such magical powers or special magic weapons.

If he wants to kill the Nascent Soul in its early stage, he must resort to destructive means to kill the target Nascent Soul first, making it impossible for him to escape smoothly.

"Dalong thinks, does Jing Tianzhen really possess the pseudo-spiritual treasure? Otherwise, how could it cause such a big commotion?"

Fairy Zixia probed intentionally or unintentionally.

Even though Jing Tianzhen had only been to Yunxia Sect once, she always felt that the relationship between the former and Xiang Dalong was not simple.

"not sure."

Lu Changan shook his head and did not express his true thoughts.

He felt that there was "Zhen Shui Zhenjun" behind this matter.

The other Yuanying old monsters targeted Jing Wufeng, either because of their grudges against Gu Youdian, or because of their greed for opportunities such as fake spiritual treasures.

True Lord Mingshui had some misunderstandings about Jing Wufeng, and was concerned about the huge benefits related to Tinghai Pavilion.

"This Lord Jing Tianzhen should be a lucky person. He became the focus of the Central Region as soon as he appeared."

"Well, you, Taoist friend Jing, attract firepower, so I can develop so comfortably."

Lu Changan silently gave a like.

……

Two days later, Fairy Zixia left Yunlan Peak.

Lu Changan suddenly thought of a possibility, checking the letters received in the past ten years.

The appointment to seal the demon is approaching, and Jing Wufeng should take the initiative to contact him when he returns to the Central Territory.

Not long after, Lu Changan's spiritual consciousness found a special third-order jade shell among the many letters. It seemed to be a congratulatory gift, but there were restrictions on it that were familiar to Lu Changan.

Lu Changan broke the Yubei restriction according to the method agreed in the past.

hum!
A curtain of blue water appeared on the surface of the jade shell, and the free and uninhibited figure of Lord Jing Tianzhen appeared on it.

"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Xiang for becoming one of the Nascent Souls. In the future, my confidence in sealing demons will be improved by a few percent."

Mr. Jing Tianzhen stood with his hands behind his back, talking to himself.

"The impending demonic turmoil in the Central Territory is not a bad thing for our agreed plan. This will help find the key nodes where the demonic energy leaks and repair the seal."

"Jing returned to the Central Territory of the Great Abyss. He was planning to contact Daoist Xiang as soon as possible, but he was targeted by a group of troublesome guys. In addition to the old monster Jin Kun, there was also the inexplicable wife of Zhenjun Mingshui..."

Jing Wufeng stated the objective conditions that made it inconvenient to meet, so as to avoid involving Lu Changan and the Yunxia Sect.

After hearing this, Lu Changan recognized Jing Wufeng's character, and he might be able to become a trustworthy friend like Lao Zhang in the future.

"Jing will first go to the forbidden area in the Central Territory to look for important gaps where the demonic energy leaks. In that chaotic place where the demonic energy is raging, it will help get rid of those troubles."

"When the demon turmoil comes to an end, Fellow Daoist Xiang will go with Jing to the forbidden area in the Central Territory to complete the demon sealing agreement that year."

At this point, Jing Wufeng's figure dimmed, and at the last moment when he was about to disappear, he added:
"By the way, there is a fourth-order void whale in the coastal waters of the Eastern Territory. It has a thin true spirit bloodline. This whale possesses the power of space. It is said that it has a large collection of space treasures that Jing cannot take. If Xiang Zhenjun is interested, he can do it in the future. You can hunt together and go to the sea.”

Hearing this unintentional news, Lu Changan's head suddenly moved.

He remembered that Jing Wufeng was proficient in space formations and had once deployed a fourth-level illusionary sky formation to hunt down the demonic Stone Heart Dragon. This person is at least a quasi-level 4 formation master.

Lu Changan also lacks space treasure materials to repair the space teleportation array left by Tinghai Pavilion.

Cha Hai Zhenjun is a fourth-level formation mage. Unfortunately, the Nascent Soul that devoured this person only lit up one-tenth of the fifth life, which was not enough to transform into a reincarnation experience.

Otherwise, Lu Changan could directly become a fourth-level formation master instead of a third-level formation master.

Fortunately, Lord Chahai has a general plan for repairing it, but it mainly lacks space materials.

If you obtain space treasure materials in the future, you may be able to more smoothly repair the space formations left behind by Tinghai Pavilion by consulting Jing Wufeng.

……

After Lu Changan came out of seclusion, the first place he visited was the underground palace dojo.

Not to visit Lord Diyan, nor to the Xuan Shui Turtle who was promoted to the late third level.

Lu Changan stepped under the underground palace and entered a restricted and isolated room.

"Friend Lu Dao, you are here."

The green-armored puppet, who had been sitting cross-legged for several years, slowly opened his eyes. The green flames in his eyes were less ghostly and gloomy, and more radiant with wisdom.

Lu Changan looked into the eyes of the puppet, and the spiritual pressure of the Nascent Soul Master was emitted from his body, and the latter actually exuded a similar spiritual pressure aura, not inferior at all.

Lu Changan looked overjoyed, and his figure blurred and disappeared from the place.

Boom!

In an instant, the nearly fourth-level physique was blessed with huge strength, and the giant palm with expanded golden patterns struck the blue-armored puppet like thunder.

The green-armored puppet raised his green iron palm lightly and resisted the huge force that destroyed the mountain.

His figure sat in place without any sway.

There was even a soft force that pushed Lu Changan away, preventing him from being subjected to the powerful counterattack.

"Not bad! This kind of control is worthy of being a true fourth-level puppet."

Lu Changan looked up and down and found that the body of the green-armored puppet had not changed at all. It was a fourth-level puppet with complete quality.

The real change lies in the puppet spirit.

Today's blue-armored puppet, its puppet spirit exudes the power of consciousness similar to that of Nascent Soul monks, has far more control over the body's power than before, and can handle highly complex and high-speed battles on its own.

However, this puppet is not a real living being.

The puppet spirit has an existence similar to the divine soul, but it is not the same as the divine soul or the Nascent Soul.

Lu Changan couldn't help but think of the artificial intelligence before time travel, and the puppet spirit was like an alternative existence in a higher form.

The unique puppet clone of the spirit possessed in the previous life has more prominent advantages, allowing him to go out on missions independently or act separately without having to bear the consumption of spiritual consciousness.

"With Lao Wei's current strength, can he stand up to a Nascent Soul cultivator on his own?"

"If it's the Yunxia Sect's female Nascent Soul, Wei is more confident."

Master Wei said calmly.

"It wouldn't be difficult if Fellow Daoist Lu gives some fourth-level treasures to Wei to strengthen the puppet's weapons and armor to compete with the veteran Nascent Soul in its early stages."

Master Wei did not know that Fairy Zixia had obtained the best magic weapon [Wind and Cloud Fan], and coupled with her peak cultivation in the early stage of Nascent Soul, her strength was not what it used to be.

"Okay! It's really the right time and the right place! Ben Zhenjun's debt settlement plan can be implemented with confidence."

Lu Changan chuckled, with a fierce look in his eyes.
