I am evergreen in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 447 Tracking Aoki, Yin and Yang

Deep in the desert, where few people go, sandstorms are sweeping across the land.

The body of a man in a green robe floated out of the ice coffin and was covered by a storm of yellow sand.

Lu Changan closed his eyes and made hand gestures, surrounded by ancient coins, sticks, tortoise shells, jade and other divination objects. There were some silver hairs mixed in among his flowing black hair, revealing a breath of vicissitudes of life.

The invisible web of destiny and fate intertwined and spread on the body of the man in green robe, affecting countless causal relationships and merging into the mysterious long river of the dark.

At the same time, a huge force of destiny, carrying the breath of national destiny, came across the sky from the direction of the Snow Mountain Holy Land of Fengyuan Country.

The divination power concentrated in Lu Changan surged, leveraging more destinies and breaking through the heavy fog of heaven's mysteries.

Until one moment, he suddenly opened his eyes.

A mysterious light flashed in his dark pupils, and in the long river of fog, he could see a few fleeting blurry scenes.

"This gentleman has rebuilt his Dharma body and has just recovered his Nascent Soul cultivation. He is currently in the heart of the Daqing Central Region."

After Lu Changan made the calculation, he pondered for a moment.

The good news is that Qingmu Zhenjun did not run away, but escaped to a more remote and hidden place.

There is a causal bond between the original body and the Nascent Soul.

Lu Changan used his corpse as a medium to calculate and track through the fourth-level divination technique, and received help from the Taoist priest.

After all, the Ten Xuanmen Sects in the Central Region also have masters of divination.

Lu Changan was worried that Qingmu Zhenjun was involved, so to be on the safe side he teamed up with Tianshi to ensure that no flaws were revealed, so as to prevent the divination master from the Central Region from making reverse calculations.

Finally, the general situation and location of Aoki Masamune were determined.

The bad news is that although Qingmu Zhenjun did not retreat, he chose to stay in the sect and was under the influence of the Ten Sects of Xuanmen.

"This boy has been hiding in the sect, relying on the protection of the Ten Sects of Xuanmen. It took him hundreds of years to recover his strength, which makes him difficult to deal with."

Lu Changan frowned slightly, things were not quite what he expected.

Qingmu Zhenjun did not flee far away, nor did he choose to collude with the evil to launch a counterattack.

Even the information about the battle with Changqing had not spread in the world of immortal cultivation.

After careful consideration, Lu Changan had to admit that it was safer for Qingmu Zhenjun to do so.

Qingmu Zhenjun has a grudge against the demons and naturally lacks trust in them.

Instead of trusting the evil ways, it is better to trust the righteous immortal cultivation sect that you can join in the Central Region.

……

a few days later.

Lu Chang'an crossed the boundless desert and flew over Liang State.

Going west, we passed through Jing State.

After the great victory in the Demonic War, the State of Jing divided up part of the territory of the neighboring State of Chen, and the influence of the Xuanyin Sect expanded, becoming the dominant one.

Jing State only has one Nascent Soul force, the Xuanyin Sect, so its development has fewer constraints. It has digested the gains from the war and is growing rapidly.

"The Xuanyin Sect was born out of the Xuanyin Clan, one of the seven giants of the Demonic Path in an earlier period. In terms of heritage, it surpasses the Yuanying forces of the Weidao League. If it weren't for the broad-mindedness of Alliance Leader Chu who took the initiative to accept and support Liang Shaotian and the Xuanyin Sect, the internal and external pressures in the early and middle stages of the Demonic Path War would have been even greater, and they might not have been able to hold on until today."

Relevant memories emerged in Lu Changan's mind.

The Xuanyin Sect has replaced the former Tianluo Sect of the Chen State.

Passing over the Xuanyin Sect, Lu Changan activated the power of the fourth-level divination and used the art of looking at qi to survey the area.

The results showed that the Xuanyin Sect had great fortune and a clear upward trend.

Lu Changan was slightly surprised and thought: Master Liang had reached the Nascent Soul stage and his potential had been exhausted. He had fought many battles in his life and his foundation was damaged. His first disciple, Li Hai, died in the war between demons.

While hesitating, Lu Chang'an released the spiritual awareness of a great cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage, and without alerting anyone, he quietly swept across the headquarters of the Xuanyin Sect.

Liang Shaotian, with a head full of white hair, sat in the main hall of the sect, instructing a female cultivator who had reached the Jindan stage.

This woman has a quiet temperament, a face as pure as a painting, a pair of eyes that are clearly black and white, and her pupils have a pure feeling like dark gems.

The female cultivator is named "Zhu Xueqing". She is the granddaughter of Liang Shaotian and a disciple of the eldest disciple Li Hai. She possesses the Xuanyin body, which is rare in the world of immortal cultivators.

Lu Changan had seen this girl once when he first returned to Daqing. After not seeing her for many years, Zhu Xueqing had advanced to the Jindan stage and her appearance had not changed much.

Lu Chang'an seemed to be thinking about something. He swept his spiritual sense across the huge Xuanyin Sect headquarters, but did not find Xiang Jinglong.

I heard that before his life was over, he took the initiative to die on the battlefield of magic.

In a cave, Lu Changan found a sturdy young man who was practicing. His skin was wheat-yellow and he looked 70% similar to Xiang Jinglong.

Lu Changan didn't need to figure out what was going on, he knew that this person was Xiang Jinglong's late-born son, named Xiang Shaolong.

Inside the cave, Xiang Shaolong sat cross-legged, holding a spiritual shell with a blue glow in his hand, which did not seem to be a product of the Daqing Land.

With the help of the third-level spiritual treasure, Xiang Shaolong's body was nourished, his recovery was faster, and he had more energy to practice every day.

"This boy has great ambitions! Relying on the gift that I gave him on his tenth birthday, he has cultivated both his Dharma and his body, and his progress seems to be quite good."

Lu Changan remained silent and did not intervene.

The karmic grudge between him and Xiang Jinglong had long been resolved and disappeared in the tide of time.

……

Leaving the territory of Jing State, there is a vast expanse of barren land.

Most of them are areas lacking spiritual energy, including some spiritualless areas and dangerous areas, which are not suitable for cultivating immortal civilization.

The Defense Alliance and the Seven Nations Alliance are separated by this desolate land.

Due to the lack of replenishment of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, the speed of escape is limited. Even a Jindan cultivator would often need a month or two to travel through this desolate land.

Outside the border of Jing State, Lu Changan stayed for a while.

a moment.

A strange black smoke passed silently across the mountains and landed not far from Lu Changan.

A man in a black robe and cloak appeared in the shadows. His body was as sharp as a knife, and his cold features were blurred and without any emotion.

"Master Lu."

The person who came was True Lord Jueying, who bowed to Lu Changan who was standing with his hands behind his back.

Lu Changan nodded and glanced at them calmly. Compared to the last time they worked together to deal with Qingmu, True Lord Jueying's magical powers had improved significantly.

Being stared at by Lu Chang'an, True Lord Jueying suddenly felt a little uneasy, and an inexplicable sense of crisis flashed through his mind.

The Wujian Sect elder was awed. As an assassin, he had a hunch that the Lu Changan he met this time was more dangerous than before.

The two men were several feet apart, their lips moving and they communicated for a while.

From True Lord Jueying, Lu Changan learned about the reactions of the top leaders of Wujian Sect and the Six Demonic Sects after the defeat of Beast King Valley.

As expected, Lu Chang'an was listed by the Six Demonic Sects as one of the most threatening human cultivators in the Eastern Region.

The degree of threat is second only to the Black Mist King who has true spirit bloodline.

According to True Lord Jueying, the leaders of the six demon sects had secretly sent envoys to the border of the Black Mist Mountains to reach some kind of peace agreement with the Black Mist Mountains.

More than ten years ago, True Lord Jueying obtained the head of True Lord Qingmu and received generous rewards from the Wujian Sect and the Demonic Alliance.

The leader of Wujian Sect did not pursue the matter of True Lord Jueying colluding with Lu Changan to kill True Lord Qingmu, and even expressed his appreciation.

The killers of Wujianmen are unscrupulous and pay more attention to the results.

From the perspective of Wujianmen, True Lord Jueying was very clever in gaining merit in the fight between the two tigers. Both Lu Changqing and True Lord Qingmu were great threats to the Demon Sect.

Nowadays, the prestige of True Lord Jueying in Wujian Sect has greatly increased, second only to the Sect Master and Deputy Sect Master, and he is also highly valued and cultivated by the Sect Master.

"It turns out that Daoist Fellow Jueying had influence behind the death of True Lord Jin Yue."

During the communication, Lu Changan learned some unknown details behind the scenes.

When the Beast King Valley was defeated and faced with the huge threat of the human-faced dragon, the leader of the Wujian Sect came personally and no major war broke out.

In order to relieve the pressure of the defeat in Beast King Valley, the leader of Wujian Sect decided to take action at the request and reward of the Beast King Great Elder.

Sneaking into the Wei Dao Alliance and pretending to assassinate a Nascent Soul cultivator is quite risky.

True Lord Jueying was in charge of the Wei Dao League area and provided detailed intelligence to the Wu Jian Sect Master at that time. Among the targets of the intelligence provided by True Lord Jueying, True Lord Jin Yue was the most seriously injured and had the lowest execution risk.

"This is the Central Region intelligence that Master Lu needs. However, Master Qingmu has basically lost his trace in the Central Region over the years, and there is no specific news."

True Lord Jueying presented a jade slip.

"Bishan Sect... a major sect of immortal cultivation in the Central Region..."

Lu Changan took the information jade slip and scanned it with his spiritual sense.

The intelligence includes information related to Qingmu Zhenjun, among which the "Bishan Sect" is the focus.

After being promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, Qingmu Zhenjun was invited to join the Bishan Sect, where he practiced for more than two hundred years.

Including Qingmu, there are three Nascent Soul cultivators in the Bishan Sect.

Over the past hundreds of years, due to the rise of Qingmu Zhenjun, the Bishan Sect has become a powerful immortal cultivation force in the Central Region second only to the Ten Xuanmen Sects.

Before leaving, True Lord Jueying said hesitantly:
"Has Lu Zhenjun ever come into contact with our sect's 'Faceless'?"

"Why do you say that? Hasn't your sect's treasure, the Faceless, always been in the hands of the Wujian Sect Master?"

There was a strange look in Lu Changan's eyes, and he said calmly.

"The 'Faceless' of our sect is composed of two sides, the Yin and the Yang. Only when the two are combined can it become the complete 'Supreme Faceless'. During the upheavals of the sect thousands of years ago, one of the sides was taken away by a traitor. It is said that he fled to another state and has lost contact since then. Only a few high-ranking officials in the six sects of the Holy Sect know the secret..."

True Lord Jueying revealed a secret unknown to the public.

"Oh! There is such a reason."

Lu Changan nodded and did not continue discussing this topic.

Perhaps what True Lord Jueying said was a test, and he himself was not quite sure.

Seeing that Lu Chang'an did not comment and reacted indifferently, Zhenjun Jueying showed a hint of disappointment.

True Lord Jueying did not dare to ask any more questions and turned into a wisp of shadow or smoke and fled away.

Lu Changan watched the disappearing shadow, secretly calculating the cause and effect.

"True Lord Jueying is in charge of the intelligence infiltration in the Weidao League. He must be paying attention to my information, and some of my aliases may be exposed. Moreover, he has had many contacts with me and the leader of Wujian Sect, so it is not surprising that he discovered some clues..."

Lu Changan didn't want to explore this matter for the time being.

The Hundred Illusions Mask he possessed did have a feeling of being damaged and incomplete in function. At the Nascent Soul stage, facing cultivators of the same realm, the Hundred Illusions Mask was much less effective.

Even if he now covets the other face of the Wuxian Sect's leader, it is very unrealistic.

The leader of Wujian Sect is like a dragon, whose whereabouts are unpredictable and whose body movements are extremely fast. Even if you are better than him in fighting, it is several times more difficult to kill him and steal his treasure.

……

Set off again and leave the territory of the Wei Dao League.

Lu Chang'an sealed off the fluctuations of his Nascent Soul and all his magic power, and flew using a quasi-fourth-level giant bird puppet.

This is done to avoid being sensed by Qingmu Zhenjun when approaching the Central Region.

When a realm is broken through or a fierce battle is fought, this induction will be greatly enhanced. The closer the cultivation level of the practitioners of Changqing Gong is, the stronger the attraction of good fortune will be.

Back then, Qingmu Zhenjun sealed up his Nascent Soul magic power, relied on a fourth-order Peng bird to travel, and secretly came to the Wei Dao League.

The frame material of the quasi-fourth-level giant bird puppet that Lu Changan rides comes from the fourth-level Peng bird of Qingmu Zhenjun.

The fourth-level Peng bird's great elixir and its organs were given to Di Yanjun for cultivation. The essence, blood, and skin under the abdomen were used as the raw materials for the fourth-level spiritual ink and talisman embryo. Half a month later.

The quasi-fourth-level giant bird puppet carried Lu Chang'an to the border area of ​​the Seven-Nation Alliance.

"The Seven Nations Alliance's magic war has not yet ended and is currently in a stalemate."

Lu Chang'an looked at the front line of the Seven-Nation Alliance and slowed down, taking care to avoid the patrolling monks from the Blood Spirit Sect and the Phantom Demon Palace.

When traveling to the Central Region, it is difficult to avoid the Eastern Region Demonic Battlefield.

The longer route would either lead to the depths of the Black Mist Mountains or to the territory controlled by the Nether Spring Sect and the White Bone Palace.

It is extremely difficult to cross the demonic battlefield without alerting any cultivators from the two major camps.

In his early years, when Qingmu Zhenjun was traveling from the Central Region to the Wei Dao League, he was discovered by the Demonic Camp and had no choice but to start a massacre, thus exposing his whereabouts.

Lu Changan is sealing his Nascent Soul magic power at this moment, and his spiritual power is subject to certain restrictions.

Fortunately, his senses are still stronger than those of most Nascent Soul cultivators, and combined with divination, he can avoid most troubles.

As the puppet bird Lu Changan was in entered the buffer zone between the two major camps, the risk of being discovered gradually increased.

When the situation was unavoidable, Lu Changan used puppets and spirit pets to kill the evil monks who were in the way.

"It would be better to start a war. This way, it would be easier for me to fish in troubled waters and pass through the territory of the Seven Nations Alliance."

Lu Changan frowned slightly and slowed down his pace greatly.

During the confrontation between the two sides, security was even tighter.

In the buffer border area, Lu Changan had to avoid the sight of both sides and hide from the numerous warning prohibitions, sensing formations, and the eyes and ears of various flying insects and birds.

Lu Changan can slaughter the demonic monks who get in the way, but what should he do if he encounters monks from the Seven Nations Alliance?
The Seven-Nation Alliance and the Defense Alliance are both alliances of forces in the Eastern Region that resist the invasion of demons.

The two parties secretly reached an agreement to assist each other, which was considered an alliance.

Ok?
Lu Changan sensed a familiar aura of Nascent Soul magic power, which was coming from the Wei Dao League about a few hundred miles away.

"Purple Fire Master, Wang Feng."

Because he was familiar with the aura of the Lihuo Palace's martial arts, Lu Changan quickly confirmed the other party's identity even though he was out of the range of his spiritual sense.

An idea suddenly occurred to him, and he immediately came up with a plan.

With his Nascent Soul and magic power limited, it would be extremely difficult for him to cross the Seven Nations Alliance area without being noticed.

If the local forces of the Seven Nations Alliance cooperate and give the green light all the way, the difficulty will be greatly reduced.

……

Hundreds of miles away, in a palace tower floating in the air, he gave orders from afar to the army of monks from the Seven Nations Alliance.

Wang Feng, the supreme elder of Lihuo Palace, sat at the top of the palace hall.

In a place where no one was around, Wang Feng looked tired and rubbed his eyebrows with his hand.

The protracted war between demons and demons had exhausted him physically and mentally.

The location where the new Lihuo Palace was rebuilt has a rather special sphere of influence.

One is that it is close to the border of the Seven Nations Alliance.

Second, the Wei Dao Alliance supports the Seven Nations Alliance, and the most convenient route is close to the sphere of influence of the Lihuo Palace.

Therefore, the demonic forces focused on blocking this area of ​​the battlefield.

The Lihuo Palace alone could not stop the enemy, so he often requested reinforcements from the Seven Nations Alliance and made friends with other Nascent Soul cultivators.

The Lihuo Palace was rebuilt and restored to its former glory. But the suffering and the calamity of the devil are so tormenting now.

If we are not careful, all the efforts of the past two hundred years will come to naught and everything will return to square one.

Even if he had to start all over again, Wang Feng would have no better choice.

Without assuming certain costs and obligations, how could the Lihuo Palace successfully rebuild the mountain gate and take root in the Seven Nations Alliance? Even when he was conceiving, he had the tacit support of the bigwigs of the Seven Nations Alliance.

"Master Wang!"

There was a sound of breaking air outside the palace building, and a middle-aged man who had reached the Jindan stage flew in.

"What's the report?"

Wang Feng was wearing a purple-blue robe, with a fair complexion and two strands of beautiful beard. In front of outsiders, he showed a calm demeanor, elegance and wisdom.

"A mysterious monk has arrived outside. He showed up at our border without any warning and claimed to be a reinforcement sent by the Weidao League."

The middle-aged man who had reached the Jindan stage reported truthfully.

"Mysterious monk, reinforcements from the Guardian Alliance?"

Wang Feng felt that something was fishy.

In recent years, the Weidao League has indeed had some spare support. However, most of the time, it was to harass the demons from the rear during the war, playing a certain role of diversion. Or it sent supplies, which required the Seven Nations League to respond.

This was the first time that reinforcements suddenly appeared on our side during the confrontation phase.

"Did you do anything to him?"

"Master Xue Jian was about to capture that person, but he was shocked by his spiritual power and couldn't recover for a long time."

The middle-aged man who had reached the Jindan stage said with embarrassment.

Master Xue Jian's cultivation was at the middle stage of the Jindan period, and his fighting strength was almost at the late stage of the Jindan period, but he ended up being humiliated and the situation got somewhat out of control.

Only then did he come over urgently to ask for instructions from Master Wang.

"Please ask him to come over."

Wang Feng thought of something and immediately passed the order down.

Not long after.

Under the "escort" of several True Dan monks, a young man in blue with a heroic figure and aloof expression entered the palace hall.

"You all step back."

Wang Feng's eyes focused, and he immediately drove away several True Dan cultivators who were surrounding the young man in blue.

One of them was dressed in a snow-robed man with an ancient sword on his back. His handsome face, slightly pale, revealed anger and dissatisfaction.

He is the contemporary prodigy of Gu Jian Mountain, a Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator disciple, who assists Lihuo Palace in guarding the front line.

The Jindan cultivator of the Wei Dao League seemed to have a connection with Master Wang. He just followed the rules and suffered a loss, but Master Wang did not offer any explanation or comfort.

……

"Brother Nie, it really is you!"

Inside the palace hall, Wang Feng laughed heartily and was greatly surprised by the arrival of the young man in blue.

Over the years, he had some vague guesses about the identity of the so-called senior brother "Nie Yuan".

After all, there were many contacts and too many coincidences in time and events. After deep thought, Wang Feng could not help but see clues.

However, guesses are just guesses after all, and Wang Feng cannot be completely sure.

“Senior Brother Nie” still looked like this when they met, and he couldn’t take the initiative to expose him.

Otherwise, Wang Feng couldn't guarantee whether the other party would still consider the fragile friendship between brothers.

"Brother Nie has come here in person to help. On behalf of the Seven Nations Alliance, I would like to express my warm welcome and gratitude..."

Wang Feng warmly entertained Lu Chang'an, took out his treasured fourth-level spiritual tea, brewed it himself, and served tea and water to Lu Chang'an.

"Haha, Junior Brother Wang misunderstood!"

After Lu Changan drank the fourth-level spiritual tea, he felt the spiritual energy of heaven and earth cleansing his internal organs, and the sense of comfort reached his soul.

"Brother, I am passing through the Seven Nations Alliance this time. I am going to ask Brother Wang for an identity and a pass token."

Lu Changan remained calm and quickly explained his purpose.

The enthusiastic smile on Wang Feng's face froze in embarrassment. It turned out that he was just being too sentimental and was happy for nothing.

If Lu Changqing has the strength comparable to that of the leader of the Demon Sect as rumored, and is willing to support the Seven-Nation Alliance, it would greatly relieve his pressure and reduce the heavy casualties of the Lihuo Palace.

Wang Feng did not refuse Lu Changan's request.

After a moment, he took out a warrant, which contained the imprint of the True Lord's spiritual consciousness and the aura of magic power.

"Brother Nie holds this warrant. As a member of the Lihuo Palace, he can successfully pass through the territory currently controlled by the Seven Nations Alliance."

"Please help, Junior Brother Wang."

Lu Changan took the order from the True Lord and expressed his gratitude.

He stood up and was about to leave.

Wang Feng's eyes twitched slightly, and he smiled bitterly:
"Brother Nie's magical powers are far superior to mine. Since you are passing by, can you help me share the pressure?"

"Nie has important matters to attend to, so it's not appropriate for him to intervene."

Lu Changan shook his head and refused.

It's not that he doesn't want to help.

But once a fierce battle begins, the fluctuation of the Changqing Dao Fruit will be easily sensed by Qingmu Zhenjun in the Central Region.

Of course, Wang Feng helped him a little this time, and there was also that plastic brotherhood between them, so he couldn't completely ignore it.

Lu Changan pondered and said, "Junior Brother Wang, what trouble do you have? I will help you solve it on the way back next time."

"Blood Bat King, one of the six palace kings of the Blood Spirit Sect, can Senior Brother Nie help deal with him?"

Wang Feng asked in a tentative tone:
"This beast's blood power is difficult to deal with, and it has been targeting Wang. The blood bat has made the Lihuo Palace miserable. There have been constant casualties, and there is no chance to recuperate. If this continues, the Lihuo Palace may be in danger of extinction..."

"Blood Bat King?"

Lu Changan thought about it for a moment and immediately had an impression.

When he escaped from Daqing and pretended to be Master Xiang, he was targeted by the Blood Bat King, who marked his quasi-fourth-level puppet.

"I don't ask Senior Brother Nie to kill this beast, but I will be satisfied if I can help Junior Brother injure him severely once and let Lihuo Palace have a few years of relief."

Wang Feng was afraid that Lu Changan would feel embarrassed, so he quickly added.

The Blood Dao magical power has a strong self-preservation ability. In the early years, a giant in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul of the Seven Nations Alliance cut the Blood Bat King into two pieces without threatening his life.

Lu Changan didn't have time to think and agreed:

"The Blood Bat King is average in strength. I will help you kill him when you return."

"Thank you, senior brother!"

Wang Feng was overjoyed and excited, and bowed.

But after calming down, he found that Senior Brother Nie's promise was a bit perfunctory and too lightly said.

Wang Feng fought with the Blood Bat King many times and was always suppressed.

He knew very well that the Blood Bat King was a veteran strongman in the early Nascent Soul stage and it was impossible to defeat him easily.

Could it be that Senior Brother Nie would stand me up?
As Wang Feng's thoughts turned, he found that the hall was empty.

"Junior Brother Wang, see you next time."

Lu Changan took his warrant and flew to the territory of the Seven-Nation Alliance.
