I am evergreen in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 451: The Master of the Seven Stars Temple, the Wrath of Evergreen

Lu Changan put away the sandalwood box and recalled the important information he had learned from Su Can's mind.

The real Su Can cannot be killed, otherwise the soul lamp of the Bishan Sect will be extinguished and the induction will be generated immediately. Lu Changan sealed it and hid it in a secret place in Wuling City.

During the Central Region Auction, Fairy Bishui took care of them, but it was impossible for them to be there all the time. Su Can and the other two had been in Wuling City, so they were normally safe and secure.

However, the "Secret Art of the Heavenly Demon" practiced by Lu Chang'an cannot be measured by common sense, and it sneaks into the practitioner's mind in the form of a demon in the heart.

It is most effective against lower realm cultivators, especially those with weak wills and flaws in their mental state.

Speaking of which, Su Can has a very firm will, and his inner demons encounter certain resistance when they try to infiltrate.

At first, Lu Changan tried many methods but failed to completely defeat him. Until finally, he imitated the image of his uncle, Bishui Zhenjun, and defeated him with softness.

According to the map information of Bishan Sect, Lu Changan secretly paid attention to the location of Qingmu Zhenjun's cave.

Not long after, he sensed that True Lord Bishui had left Qingmu's cave and did not seem to stay for long.

"The stay was short! It seems that Qingmu Zhenjun is still resting and recovering."

Lu Changan tried to calculate and found that the resistance faced by divination within the Bishan Sect was far greater than that faced by the outside world.

It is not surprising that the major sects in the Central Region have inherited treasures and divination items that prevent deduction. If a deduction is forced against the sect, the treasure of heaven may give a warning.

Lu Changan used the skin of Qingmu's corpse as a medium to calculate and track him, and confirmed that his location had not changed and was still within the scope of Bishan Sect.

He calmed down and waited for the right time.

……

a few days later.

The three Yuanying Zhenjun of Bishan Sect did not make any movement; the entire mountain gate was still in a state of tight inside but loose outside.

That night, in the Tianshu Tower of the Bishan Sect.

This building is an important place in the sect and the hub of the formation. It is in charge of the sect's formation and there are many Jindan cultivators stationed there all year round.

Inside the Tianshu Tower, the two elderly Jindan elders who were guarding the building were playing Go to kill time.

"Humph!"

A cold and unhappy female voice sounded.

"The Supreme Elder!"

The two Jindan cultivators who were guarding the realm were shocked to see True Lord Bishui appear without anyone noticing.

The eyes of the True Lord of Green Water were cold and his expression was unfriendly, and the familiar green water magic pressure was looming.

"On ordinary days, it would be fine if you guys slacked off a bit. But now it's an extraordinary period, and Tianshu Tower is the key hub of our sect. If something goes wrong..."

Without giving the opportunity to explain, the Jurchen monarch began to scold him harshly.

Although the two Jindan cultivators who were guarding the place had considerable experience, they did not dare to argue with the True Lord in such a rage.

"Yes Yes……"

The two men hunched over, submissively accepting the criticism.

They were also in the wrong. In recent years, the Supreme Elder had issued orders to strengthen the sect's vigilance.

There are rumors that our sect encountered a powerful enemy, causing Qingmu Zhenjun to be seriously injured and rebuild his Nascent Soul. The sect did this to guard against powerful enemies.

Some of the elders guarding Tianshu Tower did not take it seriously.

The Central Region is the world of Xuanmen. Even if it is the leader of the Demon Sect, how dare he come here to make trouble? They have been guarding the sect for too long and have been at ease for many years, so they don't take it too seriously.

"I am worried and want to go to the inner building to check the formation."

After a reprimand, True Lord Bishui decided to conduct a further thorough investigation.

The two garrison elders smiled bitterly. It seemed that the True Lord had come here tonight to conduct a secret inspection, check for omissions and implement the martial law order.

After a while, two elders who were on duty came over, collected four formation orders, and opened the inner building of Tianshu Tower.

The central hub of the Bishan Sect's formation requires the four guardian elders to gather tokens before entering to inspect and maintain it.

Apart from this, only Chen Zhenjun, who has the most experience, can take charge alone and enter and exit at will.

"A fourth-level, mid-grade formation, such a strong restriction..."

True Lord Bishui remained calm as he looked at the restrictions, some obvious and some hidden.

If you want to conquer this place by force, at least several Nascent Souls must work together.

The fourth-level medium-grade formation is definitely not the result of one or two generations, but the foundation of the Bishan Sect's management over generations.

A complete fourth-order, medium-grade formation also requires a spiritual vein of the corresponding level.

After entering the inner building, True Lord Bishui checked the key points of the formation and pointed out some deficiencies.

Several town elders accompanied him and nodded in agreement.

Everyone's attention was attracted by True Lord Bishui.

No one noticed, but a rat demon in a black cloak blended into the shadows of the inner building of Tianshu Tower.

A quarter of an hour later, True Lord Bishui finished his inspection.

Before leaving, she warned:

"The sect's great formation cannot be neglected! You must keep your mouth shut about what we secretly observed tonight."

"Yes, Supreme Elder!"

"We will keep in mind the order of the Supreme Elder."

The guards of the sect didn't think much about it. True Lord Bishui was here to conduct a secret inspection tonight to strengthen the sect's vigilance.

I heard that True Lord Bishui has a crush on Qingmu. Although his actions tonight are a bit abnormal, they are reasonable.

After giving the instructions, True Lord Bishui restrained his magical power and disappeared into the night at the mountain gate.

……

at the same time.

Di Yanjun, who was hiding in the inner building of Tianshu Tower, took out several fourth-level talismans and pasted them on the core base of the sect protection formation.

Those talismans are all of fire or lightning type, and have extremely strong destructive power.

Of course, the fourth-level formation has multiple bases, and this is just the hub center.

"Detonating this place will not cause the entire protective formation of the Green Mountain Sect to collapse, but it will greatly weaken the power of the fourth-level formation and reveal many flaws."

Lu Changan quietly returned to Su Can's third-level cave, still maintaining the good image of Lord Bishui.

He possesses many means to break the ban, such as the ban-breaking talisman, the alien peacock, and the mysterious light mirror.

Faced with a greatly weakened and flawed fourth-order intermediate formation, Lu Changan was confident that he could quickly break through the formation and leave.

Think about defeat before thinking about victory.

Regardless of success or failure, Lu Changan first left himself a way out.

As long as you don't get entangled at the scene and leave evidence, you can completely deny it afterwards.

There was no need for the Ten Xuanmen Sects to launch a full-scale manhunt for a dead outer sect Nascent Soul cultivator and become enemies with the leader of the Demon Sect.

Lu Changan could even put the blame on the leader of the Wujian Sect.

……

The next morning.

Bishan Sect, Green Bamboo Forest Cave.

A familiar green light landed in front of Qingmu Zhenjun's cave.

"Meet the true king."

The servants in the cave were not surprised to see this familiar guest and knelt down to pay their respects.

"Brother Qingmu! I have something urgent to tell you!"

A rare look of worry and anxiety appeared on the peaceful face of True Lord Bishui, and he spoke.

The servants in the cave did not hesitate, or perhaps after receiving the notification, they immediately opened the restrictions of the cave and welcomed the female Jurchen monarch in.

True Lord Bishui hurried into the cave, leaving a faint fragrance in the air.

Her flowing black hair covered her slightly pursed pink and red lips.

"Aoki Masamune! You probably never imagined that one day, you would be stabbed in the back by the person you have the best relationship with and the one you trust the most..."

Lu Chang'an, hidden under the mask of Baihuan, was highly focused.

Must act quickly!
If he openly appeared in Qingmu Cave Mansion as the True Lord of Bishui, he would soon be exposed and alarm the two True Lords of Bishan Sect.

Su Can had been here several times as his nephew, and Lu Changan knew the general layout of the cave.

In the front hall, a figure in a green robe stood with his hands behind his back, as if waiting for guests.

"Aoki Masamune?"

Lu Changan swept his spiritual sense over and at the same time released the sealed Changqing Yuanying and magic power.

After integrating into the fourth world, the incomparably powerful spiritual power rose sharply and expanded violently.

The terrifying spiritual consciousness that was almost that of a Nascent Soul cultivator caused a slight pain in the consciousness.

same moment.

The "jade hand" in Lu Changan's sleeve grasped a deadly [nail-head arrow].

Qingmu Zhenjun, who has not yet recovered his strength and lost his soul treasure, will never be able to withstand this fatal blow.

The critical moment.

Lu Changan locked his eyes on the figure in green robe and his expression suddenly changed.

"No! It's not Aoki Masamune!"

Lu Changan had the [Nail-Head Arrow] hidden in his sleeve, charging with energy and ready to fire, but he didn't shoot it out.

He locked onto the figure in green robe and immediately found something strange, and the Changqing Dao Fruit did not produce the expected strong response.

A "chi" sound.

Under the guidance of the power of spiritual consciousness, the green-robed figure in the field of vision began to emit a blue-gray smoke.

The green-robed figure broke apart and disappeared.

A burning fourth-order phantom talisman was left at the spot, with a small piece of finger flesh tied to it.

Lu Changan's face was solemn as he calculated subconsciously.

In an instant, the fog that obscured the secrets of heaven was broken in the face of the truth.

"Seven...Star...View!"

Lu Changan had a grim expression and spoke word by word.

He already knows the cause and effect.

The piece of flesh and blood on the finger was left by Qingmu Zhenjun's body, otherwise it would not have been hidden from his calculations and tracking.

At the same time, there was a divination secret that was higher in rank than Lu Chang'an, which was guided and secretly concealed by Qingmu Zhenjun.

Otherwise, Qingmu Zhenjun, who was not proficient in divination, would not have been able to escape in advance and would never have been able to escape this disaster.

In the entire Daqing, only Qixing Temple has the ability to help Qingmu cover up his escape and deceive Lu Changan in advance.

Lu Changan, who was one move behind in chess, suppressed his anger.

After all, the Central Region is the world of Xuanmen. The Seven Stars Temple has the advantage of time and place, and even divination skills of the same level will be at a disadvantage.

……

Lu Chang'an did not leave immediately. Instead, he used his powerful spiritual sense to search every corner of Qingmu Zhenjun's cave to see if he could find any clues.

For some reason, his powerful senses at this moment gave him the illusion that he was being spied on from a distance.

what!
Lu Changan soon made a discovery.

Behind the main seat in the front hall of the cave, there is a hidden mezzanine.

boom!
A palm strike from the air caused the wall to peel off.

There is also a dark wall inside, engraved with a mysterious seven-star formation pattern, which is connected to the cave's spirit gathering formation.

"Fellow Daoist Changqing, you were able to discover this place in such a hurry. It really lives up to its reputation."

An old and distant voice sounded.

hum!
The array pattern on the dark wall glowed with light, and seven light and dark star patterns flickered, like a starry chessboard with the stars moving.

Suddenly, a mysterious Taoist holding a dustpan and wearing a black Taoist robe stepped out vividly from the seven-star formation diagram on the wall.

Its body is translucent, seeming both real and unreal.

"I am the Seven Stars Monastery Master. If I have offended you, please forgive me, Taoist Changqing."

The Taoist spoke sincerely and bowed.

"Master Mi, it is you."

Lu Changan was not surprised and said in a bad tone:

"After arriving in the Central Region, I deliberately avoided the Seven Stars Temple and did not socialize with people. I didn't want you to ruin things in the end!"

Upon hearing this, Master Mi smiled apologetically and looked at Lu Changan with a pair of cloudy and dark eyes.

The disguise of the hundred illusion masks naturally cannot hide the eyes that can see through the secrets of the world.

Lu Changan did not dodge, and the two looked at each other.

Master Mi is presbyopic and has difficulty judging people.

"you you……"

Master Mi's body shook and his voice trembled.

The wrinkled old face showed regret and tears welled up in the eyes.

The Taoist said bitterly: "I thought you were just Master Feng Yuan, but I didn't expect you to be a fourth-level divination master."

"Miscalculated! Miscalculated..." If it was just a fourth-level divination, Master Mi would not have lost his composure like this.

The figure not far away, who was in the Xuanmen sect, was calm and composed, and had a faint aura of looking down on the Daqing.

Master Mi had only seen such a transcendent aura in the great Nascent Soul cultivator of Taiyue Sect back then.

"Old Taoist priest, no wonder you are so blind! You didn't even know the whereabouts of this True Lord, yet you dared to help True Lord Qingmu escape without authorization."

Lu Changan stood with his hands behind his back and snorted coldly.

Suddenly, a powerful spiritual awareness almost as strong as that of a Nascent Soul cultivator lingered in the cave.

call!
The space seemed to solidify, the surrounding dust floated up under the invisible force field, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth automatically hovered around it, as if worshiping an ancient sage.

"I know I was wrong!"

Separated by a long distance, Master Mi's true body and soul were suppressed, and he could hardly contain his shock.

"Did Aoki escape to another state?"

Lu Changan retracted his aura in an instant and asked calmly.

As a fourth-rank divination master, he knew how to deal with this kind of people.

If you can't win in a battle of wits, then don't use reasoning and just use force to overwhelm the opponent. Force can defeat skill.

What's more, the person who came was not the real body of Master Mi Guan, but a projection of the person who was there in person, integrated with consciousness.

This form was just restrained by Lu Changan.

If you wish, you can deal a severe blow to the opponent's consciousness.

"That's right. Qingmu Zhenjun had already fled to another state before the auction. He may have left Qingzhou now."

Master Mi did not dare to hide it.

Then he explained the cause and effect.

It turned out that Senior Brother Chen from the Bishan Sect and Master Mi knew each other when they were young and they had a close friendship.

Before the auction, Senior Brother Chen from the Bishan Sect secretly contacted Master Mi and asked him to do some divination for Master Qingmu.

After divination, Master Mi found that Qingmu Zhenjun was about to face death.

As they were both righteous Taoist monks, and they had a close relationship, Master Mi of Mi Temple gave him some pointers, concealed the secret, and helped him resolve the disaster.

Master Mi thought that behind Lu Changan was Master Feng Yuan, a fourth-rank divination master, and did not take it too seriously.

"The Seven Star Formation Diagram is left here. I wanted to persuade Fellow Daoist Changqing to make peace. Fellow Daoist Qingmu has already promised not to be an enemy of Fellow Daoist Changqing, so I agreed to help."

Master Mi smiled bitterly.

He originally wanted to resolve the feud between the two with his detached status, but he did not expect such a cause and effect to be created.

"Master Mi should know the details between me and Qingmu. How can the interests involved be resolved in just a few words?" Lu Changan shook his head and smiled.

Master Mi hesitated for a moment before saying:

"Although Master Lu's swallowing of that person's Changqing Dao Fruit greatly prolonged his life and increased his power, in the end, the disadvantages far outweighed the advantages."

"Why?"

Lu Chang'an's heart trembled, and he vaguely realized that the Qixing Temple, an ancient astrology and divination sect, might know some secrets of the Changqing Gong.

"That's all."

"I can't say more, and it's just speculation. Master Lu is also a master of divination, so I'm sure he can understand my difficulties."

Master Mi looked at Lu Chang'an with his cloudy presbyopic eyes as if he had deep meaning, and then he stopped talking.

"Lu understands."

Lu Changan speculated that if more secrets were revealed, Master Mi might face backlash, and even bring disaster to the Qixing Temple.

The suggestion just now might be on the verge of danger, so it made Master Mi hesitate.

"Master Mi, do you know which state Daoist Fellow Qingmu went to?"

Lu Changan changed the subject and asked.

"Fellow Daoist Qingmu did not tell anyone, including the two fellow Daoists from the Bishan Sect."

Master Mi pondered and said:

"But I guess that Daoist Qingmu may have fled to Tianhe Province. Among the surrounding states, only that place can bring him a sense of security."

Perhaps in order to make up for his mistake, Master Mi calculated Lu Chang'an's whereabouts.

"Tianhe Province..."

Lu Changan frowned slightly, confirming that the plan to hunt down Qingmu Zhenjun ended in failure.

With his current level of vision and the memories of his Nascent Soul that he had swallowed, he had a certain understanding of the area surrounding Daqing.

From Qingzhou to Tianhezhou, you have to pass through two territories similar to Qingzhou.

The immortal cultivation civilization of Tianhe Province is far superior to the surrounding areas, and there is more than one Nascent Soul cultivator in every era.

For ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators to reach there from Qingzhou, they have to go through a long journey and natural barriers, and there are considerable risks.

Lu Changan thought to himself that it seemed he had to wait until he reached the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage before making any long-term plans.

By then, you don’t necessarily have to go to Tianhe.

In the previous life, Kunzhou's immortal cultivation civilization was much weaker overall, so it was actually a safer choice.

……

“Seven Stars Temple, please do not interfere in Lu’s affairs in the future. The life span of the departed Yuanying master of Taiyue Sect is far less than that of this True Lord.”

Lu Changan raised his hand and took the bloody finger left by Qingmu Zhenjun.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Lu. I will keep today's events a secret. I also promise as the master of the Seven Stars Monastery that I owe you a favor."

While Lu Changan and Master Mi were talking, two Nascent Soul pressures were approaching rapidly.

"Who are you to trespass into the Bishan Sect?"

Senior Brother Chen and Fairy Bishui, two Yuanying Zhenjun, discovered the abnormality in Qingmu Cave Mansion and were rushing over.

Senior Brother Chen raised a formation flag to control the sect's formation.

Boom! Zizzi!
Above the Qingmu Cave Mansion, thunder, lightning, and fire clouds intertwined in the sky. The pressure of thunder and fire brought by the power of the formation was comparable to the threat of a middle-stage Nascent Soul.

The spiritual consciousness of the two Nascent Souls of the Bishan Sect swept over and they were stunned.

I saw an ordinary-looking man in a green robe standing in the front hall of the cave with his hands behind his back.

There was a translucent figure next to him, projected from the Seven Star Formation diagram on the stone wall, and it was exactly the appearance of the master of the Seven Star Temple.

"Brother Qingmu? That's not right——"

Fairy Bishui was slightly startled, then shook her head, staring at Lu Changan with cold eyes.

When she returned to the sect, Senior Brother Chen had already informed her of the news of Master Qingmu's departure.

Senior Brother Chen asked, "Who are you? What is your intention in sneaking into our sect by disguising yourself as Junior Brother Qingmu? If you don't give me an explanation, don't blame me..."

"Fellow Daoist Chen, Fellow Daoist Tian, ​​please let this fellow Daoist leave. Don't make things difficult for him."

The old voice of Master Mi was heard, with an inexplicable sense of authority.

"Master Mi..."

Senior Brother Chen and Fairy Bishui looked puzzled.

"Don't ask too many questions."

Master Mi spoke in a serious tone and winked at his good friend Brother Chen.

"That's fine!"

Although Senior Brother Chen was unwilling, out of trust in Master Mi, he waved the formation flag, drawing thunder and fire into the sky to make way for the "man in green robe".

Lu Changan ignored the two of them, rode the wood-type escape light and flew out of the cave.

There is one advantage to him disguising himself as Qing Mu Zhen Jun. Since the martial arts techniques are the same, he can disguise himself more perfectly.

Once the fight starts, they won't reveal their true colors easily.

The real Qingmu Zhenjun has fled to another state. There is no evidence, so it doesn't matter if he causes a big disaster.

The two Nascent Souls of the Bishan Sect had gloomy expressions as they watched Lu Changan's back.

The two speculated about his true identity.

Lu Changqing? Or the leader of Wujian Sect?

Judging from his motives, Lu Changqing is the most suspicious; judging from his disguise ability, he is more like the leader of the Wujian Sect.

“Brother Chen, are you just going to let him go like this? Junior-nephew Su Can was replaced and his whereabouts are unknown…”

The Fairy of Green Water gritted her teeth and stared at Lu Changan with cold eyes.

Her intuition told her that this person was the old man in the straw raincoat that day, who had teased and flirted with her in public and brought shame upon her.

The fact that this person was disguised as Senior Brother Aoki made her feel even more disgusted.

If the Seven Stars Temple Master hadn't stopped her, she would have cut him into pieces on her sect's territory.

"What! Chan'er is missing?"

Senior Brother Chen's expression changed. Su Can was his true disciple and had the appearance of a Nascent Soul.

"Fellow Taoist, stop!"

When it comes to the safety of his disciple, Senior Brother Chen can't care less.

He controlled the formation, and a large amount of thunder and fire intertwined into a big net, blocking Lu Changan's way.

"Brother Chen, let's join forces and use the sect's formation to suppress and capture him alive, and then interrogate him for the reason."

The Fairy of Green Water was overjoyed and gave a delicate cry.

She took the lead in chasing Lu Changan and sacrificed a deep blue water drop magic weapon.

Boom!

The water drop magic weapon caused ripples of green water in a radius of several miles, accompanied by the sound of a tsunami. Mountains, rivers, pavilions and towers were reduced to dust wherever it passed.

"stop--"

Inside the cave, the projection of Master Mi scolded but was unable to stop it.

He sighed, and his translucent figure merged into the stone wall of the Seven Star Formation behind him and disappeared without a trace.

……

"Alas, Junior Sister..."

Seeing Junior Sister Tian attacking Lu Changan, Senior Brother Chen was helpless.

Overwhelmed with water.

Senior Brother Chen had no choice but to control the sect's formation and cooperate in the siege and killing of Lu Changan.

He was quite confident in the sect's territory and did not have to worry about his safety.

When all the sect's elite disciples gathered their magic power and used all their strength to activate the fourth-order intermediate-grade formation, the strongest power that erupted was enough to suppress a giant in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

Lu Changan failed in his assassination attempt on Qingmu and was in a bad mood.

The two Yuanying of the Green Mountain Sect took the initiative to attack, and he was able to vent the anger in his chest:

"Good good!"

The man in green robe floated in the air, bursting out with a strong and verdant Nascent Soul power, and summoned the magic weapon [Thunder Wood Stake] to resist the attack of the two.

His eyes were bloodshot and he raised his head and howled:
"The Bishan Sect is unkind, don't blame me, Qingmu, for being unjust!"

The angry voice resounded throughout the entire Bishan Sect, leaving many disciples of the sect stunned.

"What's going on? Are the three supreme elders fighting among themselves?"

"Hurry! Hide! Wait until the three True Lords decide the winner, and then we will come out to deal with the aftermath."

The sect was in chaos.

The two Nascent Souls of the Bishan Sect were shocked by this scene and were caught off guard.

"Shameless bastard!"

Senior Brother Chen's face turned black and he almost vomited blood in anger.

He shouted loudly: "This person is a demon Yuanying in disguise, everyone work together and don't be fooled."

However, the outcome of the three True Lords' battle was still undecided, and only some of the cultivators in the Bishan Sect obeyed orders, while many cultivators did not dare to take up a team easily.

After all, Master Qingmu has the combat power of a mid-Nascent Soul stage, and in a one-on-two fight, it is still unknown who will win.

The Fairy of Green Water's pretty face turned pale, her beautiful eyes widened, and she was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that such a big mess would occur.

"【Thunderwood Stake】, Senior Brother Qingmu's magic weapon!"

She discovered that the charred wooden stake magic weapon that the man used to defend against the enemy triggered a large amount of blue lightning, and the sound was like a thunderbolt from heaven.

It is exactly Brother Qingmu’s magic weapon to protect him.

There was murderous intent in the eyes of the Fairy of Green Water, and she summoned a green sword magic weapon, making her attack even more fierce.

Just then.

boom--

A deafening roar came from the heart of the Bishan Sect, and the ground shook and earthquakes occurred in the surrounding areas for hundreds of miles.

The large light shield covering the mountain gate suddenly trembled, the light dimmed, and showed unstable fluctuations.

"Grand Elder! The core of the Tianshu Tower's formation has been blown up!"

"The several Jindan cultivators and formation masters guarding here are probably..."

Seeing the Tianshu Tower engulfed in flames in the distance, the two Nascent Souls of the Bishan Sect were shocked and angry, their hearts trembling.

"Are you two satisfied with the current situation?"
