I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 623 Baiwu Transformation, Meeting Dugutian (4k4, please subscribe)

"The reason why Shengyashan broke the contract is that old man Ding Lezheng has broken through to the Spiritual Transformation Realm."

Fu Zhizhou did not beat around the bush and directly stated the root cause of all these changes.

Only Ding Lezheng had broken through to the God Transformation Realm, so he was not afraid of the revenge from these Nascent Soul cultivators.

"Ding Le has become a god?"

Hearing this, there was not much surprise on Wei Tu's face.

According to what the Red Dragon Ancestor said.

Ding Le has been stuck in the quasi-God Transformation realm for a long time. He is only one step away from breaking through to the God Transformation realm.

And it just so happened that the opening of the secret realm of the Zunwang Palace decades ago gave Ding Lezheng this opportunity.

There are three main palaces in the Zunwang Palace, the Demon Locking Hall, the Weapon Forging Hall, and the Dharma Teaching Pavilion. This time, two main palaces were opened.

Among them, the opportunity to enter the Demon Locking Hall was exclusive to him.

After the Weapon Smelting Hall was opened by the demonic practitioners... Although the demonic practitioners had the upper hand, it was not inconceivable for Ding Lezheng, as the number one person in the righteous path, to gain some opportunities here.

The time for its breakthrough has come!

If not for this, he would not have sent Fu Zhizhou back to the Da Cang cultivation world a year and a half ago instead of going there in person to take a look at the changes there.

"Third brother, what should we do now?"

"Is it to save Xiuwen, live longer, or..."

Fu Zhizhou asked, bowing.

Although he was furious about this matter, he was also rational and knew that the current Shengya Mountain was not something that could be shaken by the practitioners of their Yishe.

However, if Wei Tu gave the order, he would not be afraid to venture into this dangerous place.

In the past, Wei Tu was willing to save Fu Lin, so he risked his life to break into the Hehuan Sect branch and killed the ancestor Ning Yan.

Today, he is the same.

"Bear it."

"How can you and I do such an unwise thing?"

Wei Tu shook his head to show his attitude.

Then, he analyzed the situation and said, "Besides, Xiuwen and Changshou...are not in danger of death now. As long as Ding Lezheng doesn't kill me personally, Xiuwen and Changshou will be safe."

"Tolerate?"

Hearing this, Fu Zhizhou sighed lightly, and the expression on his face suddenly became much more bleak.

It is indeed wise to endure all this.

However, how long do we have to endure before it ends?

"After I break through to the late Nascent Soul stage, I will take the risk and try to save Xiu Wen and Chang Shou."

After thinking for a moment, Fu Zhizhou made up his mind and said in a deep voice.

Failure to save Wei Xiuwen and his son would not necessarily lead to the extinction of Wei Tu's family line, but Wei Xiuwen and his son were Wei Tu's only son and grandson, and their significance to Wei Tu was incomparable to that of other members of the Wei clan.

As his sworn brother, he couldn't just sit there and watch Wei Xiuwen and his son being imprisoned to death, unable to escape for the rest of their lives.

But... just when he was holding on to this "brave" thought, he heard Wei Tu say a time, a specific time of patience.

"One hundred and fifty years from now."

"I will definitely return to the Great Cang Cultivation World and personally avenge this."

Wei Tu said calmly.

There was no emotion in his words, and his tone was extremely calm.

"One hundred and fifty years?"

Fu Zhizhou was stunned. He knew that his sworn brother was always a man of few words, never acting on impulse.

Not to mention, Wei Xiuwen and his son were imprisoned in Shengya Mountain and even killed... This was something they had predicted when they migrated to the overseas cultivation world.

"Could it be that Third Brother... is about to break through to the God Transformation Realm?"

Suddenly, Fu Zhizhou thought of a possibility, and his face became slightly excited.

However, he did not ask any further questions, but buried this guess deep in his heart. After all, this matter concerned Wei Tu's background, and no matter how much he was his brother, he could not ask too much.

"Okay! One hundred and fifty years later, I will accompany my third brother on this trip." Fu Zhizhou nodded and said in a firm tone.

……

Just as Fu Zhizhou guessed.

One hundred and fifty years was indeed the shortest time Wei Tu estimated it would take for him to break through to the Spiritual Transformation Realm.

Initially, when he broke through to the late Nascent Soul stage, he estimated that it would take him four hundred years to break through to the God Transformation stage.

But during this period, there were gains from killing Li Donghai and the confiscation of the Merit Hall... Given that his wealth had greatly increased, this time could be shortened by half.

Not long ago, he took away Cao Mi's pure Yin Yuan, which reduced his hard work by another thirty years.

“But it’s still not easy to achieve a breakthrough within 150 years.”

After leaving Wulao Mountain, Wei Tu pondered secretly as he hurried on his way.

The time required to cultivate to the point of breaking through to the God Transformation realm and the time required to achieve the God Transformation realm and successfully consolidate one's cultivation are very different.

The latter will take at least several years, or even decades, longer.

“Therefore, if you want to reach the Spiritual Transformation Realm as quickly as possible… Luqiu Qingfeng’s Yuanyin is almost indispensable.”

Wei Tu's eyes flickered and he narrowed his eyes.

Before, he thought that Luqiu Qingfeng was forced to "sacrifice herself" for him because of the situation, which was just an unexpected surprise, but now, he was determined to get this benefit.

One hundred and fifty years.

This time point was not something he said casually, but was the day he estimated Wei Xiuwen would die.

In the world of immortal cultivation, there is no shortage of methods to prolong life.

Without these 150 years of cultivation time, although Wei Xiuwen would have no chance to become an immortal and would have difficulty breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, he could at least stay in the world for a few more years.

……

a few days later.

Wei Tu rushed to Yuanjun Island.

At this time, there was only about a year left until Luqiu Qingfeng's succession ceremony as the king.

There was a joyful atmosphere inside and outside Yuanjun Island.

Quite prosperous.

"Has the foundation been established successfully?"

Wei Tu returned to the worship hall and saw the foundation-building skills of Xu Yuqi who came to greet him. A look of approval appeared on his face.

With the resources he gave her, it was not unusual for this woman to break through from the perfect stage of Qi training to the initial stage of foundation building within two years.

What really impressed him was that this woman's magic power was much purer than that of the cultivators of the same level. This was enough to prove that she was meditating and breathing hard, and was not just a parasite who only knew how to take pills.

Then, he gave Xu Yuqi some pointers based on his Nascent Soul cultivation level.

Mainly pointing out the mistakes and omissions when this woman was practicing the exercises.

Under his golden eyes, Xu Yuqi's whole body was almost uncovered, and every part of his meridians was seen carefully by him.

"Thank you, ancestor."

After a moment, Xu Yuqi bowed to express her gratitude, her pretty face looking slightly hot.

Just now, when Patriarch Wei was instructing her, although there was no obscene tone in his words, his behavior was inevitably too intimate, causing her to have wild thoughts.

"Next time, I'll ask a few female practitioners to teach you."

Wei Tu saw Xu Yuqi's embarrassment and said casually.

Cultivation is more private.

As a male cultivator, it is indeed not appropriate for him to teach Xu Yuqi.

Moreover, he did not have the time or the energy to systematically train a "personal disciple".

The guidance at this time is more out of interest.

As for these female cultivators... they are not difficult to find.

He is in charge of the Merit Hall, so he just needs to find a few disciples in the hall.

however--

After he finished speaking, Xu Yuqi was not happy about Wei Tu's "mercy", but knelt down a little nervously.

"I am the soul servant of the ancestor. If I come into contact with more cultivators from the outside world, I will inevitably leak information, which will be detrimental to the ancestor. I am willing to stay in the cave and serve the ancestor."

Hearing this, Wei Tu was surprised.

He didn't know what Bai Zhi had taught Xu Yuqi in the decades since he left the cave, and how she had trained him to be so obedient and respectful.

But he doesn't reject it.

Xu Yuqi's statement is enough to prove that he is indeed a good soul servant by his side.

He said no more, waved his hand, and asked Xu Yuqi to leave.

After Xu Yuqi stepped down.

With one hand, he grabbed a secret letter with the Luqiu Qingfeng logo from the cave entrance.

"Dugutian has arrived..."

Soon, Wei Tu saw the key information in the first line of the letter.

He continued to flip through the pages.

Then, he saw the news that Dugu Tian's senior brother "Xu Wansun" had come with him. This made him frown.

According to the intelligence from Jishan Sect, Master Tong's fourth disciple Dugu Tian has a gentle personality and is easy to talk to.

But his eldest brother, Xu Wansun, is a very violent person.

This man once killed an entire group in a fit of rage.

In other words.

He went to Dugu Tian to discuss breaking off the engagement with Luqiu Qingfeng. Even if he convinced Dugu Tian, ​​it would not be easy to get past Xu Wansun.

After all, the relationship between fellow apprentices is one of sharing weal and woe together.

——Seeing that Dugu Tian broke off the engagement without stopping him, after returning to Xiaohuan Palace, Xu Wansun, the eldest senior brother, was bound to be punished.

This is all to be expected.

"Let's talk first."

“Even if you fail, don’t worry too much.”

Wei Tu shook his head and thought.

As a high-ranking member of the Jishan Sect, he doesn't need to care too much about Xiao Huan Gong's attitude.

He had only one mission, which was to destroy the marriage between the "Luqiu Clan", an affiliated force of the Jishan Sect, and the Xiaohuan Palace.

Now that Luqiu Qingfeng is on his side, it is only a matter of time before the marriage between the two parties is destroyed.

At this time, he went to discuss the matter with Dugu Tian only to reduce the impact and better maintain Luqiu Qingfeng's status after breaking off the engagement.

……

After thinking about everything.

Wei Tu did not hesitate too much. He left the cave and went directly to meet Luqiu Qingfeng. After letting the girl express her opinion again, he went together with her to pay a visit to Dugu Tian, ​​who was temporarily staying in the Luqiu clan's palace.

Dugu Tian is not as domineering as his name suggests. He looks to be about thirty years old, with a dignified appearance and elegant temperament, just like an ordinary scholar.

"Steady and mature!"

This was the first impression Dugu Tian left on Wei Tu's heart.

After all, when it comes to marriage, it is impossible to choose someone with an eccentric personality or major flaws.

"Do you two have a past relationship?"

"Specially asking me to be lenient?"

After knowing the purpose of Wei Tu and Luqiu Qingfeng's visit, Dugu Tian was not as easy to talk to as rumored. He was stunned for a moment, then sneered and said these sarcastic words.

"Senior Brother Dugu..."

"It's my fault, Junior Sister, for not telling me about this earlier."

Luqiu Qingfeng was very humble and took the initiative to accept the punishment.

Although she had previously intended to use the "it's done" idea to force Dugu Tian to make concessions, it was impossible for her to do so in front of Dugu Tian now.

"Junior sister?"

Dugu Tian sneered again.

As much good feeling he had towards Luqiu Qingfeng before, he now had just as much bad feeling towards her.

Seeing that Dugu Tian refused to give in, Wei Tu on the side frowned and immediately spoke.

"Fellow Daoist Dugu, are you bullying me because there is no one in Jishan Sect?" he asked in a cold voice.

The words fell.

Dugu Tian was stunned for a moment. After all, logically speaking, he was the victim at the moment. How could Wei Tu question him?

"What do you mean by this?"

Dugu Tian was not blinded by anger. He had a steady character and was always favored by his master, Master Tong.

"Fellow Daoist Dugu, the Luqiu clan is a subordinate force of my sect. Luqiu Qingfeng is the future ruler of the country. Your sect did not inform my sect in advance about her engagement. It is not in line with common practice for you to make a rash decision. "

Wei Tu had a businesslike attitude.

Earlier, when he was discussing with Luqiu Qingfeng, he said that he wanted to talk to Dugu Tian first:
One reason is that Luqiu Qingfeng is Dugu Tian's nominal fiancée. If he uses immoral means to have an affair with her and force Dugu Tian to break off the engagement, it would be a great humiliation for Dugu Tian.

By then, he would undoubtedly have greatly offended Dugu Tian, ​​and even the Xiaohuan Palace, a powerful force.

This is what he didn't want.

The second reason is that he also has the "great justice" to restrict the marriage between Xiaohuan Palace and Luqiu clan.

Talking to him will do him no harm and benefit.

After all, he would not pin his hopes on Dugu Tian's kindness.

Now, since Dugu Tian doesn't give him face, he naturally won't give face to this boy either.

"I didn't know you would meet Jishan Sect..."

Hearing this, Dugu Tian's face suddenly turned ugly.

Marriage is different from alliance.

The former is a mutual agreement.

No matter how different their factions are, as long as the forces are not mortal enemies, there is no reason to be hindered.

But the latter...

It inevitably contains political attributes.

It was indeed unreasonable and in the wrong for Xiaohuan Palace to fail to inform the Jishan Sect, the "upper sect" of the Luqiu clan, in advance.

However, it was not that Xiao Huan Gong had not anticipated this matter. Instead, Xiao Huan Gong had intended to use the "mutual love" between him and Luqiu Qingfeng to facilitate this "marriage".

Now, Luqiu Qingfeng has turned against them, and the "mutual love" that should have been a foregone conclusion has turned into a "marriage between two major forces"... Jishan Sect naturally has a reason to intervene.

If he denied Wei Tu’s question today.

Then tomorrow, the affiliated forces under Xiaohuan Palace will probably be immediately seized by Jishan Sect.

"This Weitu should not be underestimated..."

Under the questioning, Dugu Tian quickly suppressed his anger and began to think about how to properly handle this political conflict between the two factions.

He shifted his gaze away from Wei Tu, the "adulterer", and looked at Luqiu Qingfeng.

"Lüqiu Qingfeng, is this your idea or your Lüqiu clan's idea?"

Dugu Tian began to put pressure on.

He was unable to refute Wei Tu's words, but he was more than capable of dealing with Luqiu Qingfeng.

Although Luqiu Qingfeng was equal to him in cultivation and his status in Xiaohuan Palace was not much different, this time he spoke on behalf of Xiaohuan Palace and on behalf of Venerable Tong to question the Luqiu clan and Luqiu Qingfeng.

No matter how bold Luqiu Qingfeng is, can he openly go against the will of Master Tong?

"This……"

Hearing this, Luqiu Qingfeng's face turned pale and she didn't know how to respond.

She knew that once she obeyed Dugu Tian, ​​Wei Tu would be in a disadvantageous position.

On the contrary, if she disobeyed Dugu Tian, ​​she would have to cut ties with the Luqiu clan and give up her current wealth and glory.

Before coming here, she had made her firm determination to Wei Tu, saying that she could give up everything for this, but... she didn't want to make such an easy decision unless it was absolutely necessary.

In addition, if she did not answer well, it would also be catastrophic to the Luqiu clan.

Although she had done many evil things to the Luqiu clan, such as murdering Luqiu Jinyuan, she did not want her own mother's clan to be implicated.

"Friend Wei, help me..."

Luqiu Qingfeng looked at Wei Tu with a look of help in his eyes.

Hearing this, Wei Tu nodded and immediately spoke for Luqiu Qingfeng.

"Fellow Daoist Dugu, this is a matter between you and me. It is ridiculous to put pressure on the Luqiu clan."

He brought the topic back to the fact that Xiaohuan Palace was unaware of the Jishan Sect and was marrying into the Luqiu clan.

In this regard.

But Dugu Tian couldn't keep avoiding the topic.

This matter concerns the diplomacy between the two factions. Although it is just a trivial matter for Master Tong, it cannot be handled casually for him as a disciple.

"Five days later."

"How about I give Palace Master Wei an explanation?"

Dugu Tian gritted his teeth and resorted to the tactic of procrastination.

"Five days?"

Hearing this, Wei Tu raised his eyebrows slightly, not knowing whether to agree or refuse.

He knew the trap here.

Five days was enough time for Dugu Tian to use the ultra-long-distance teleportation array to travel back and forth to Xiaohuan Palace.

After he knew the attitude of his "leader" Tong Zunzhe, his tactic of forcing him with righteousness would hardly be effective anymore.

It is impossible for the two great sects to go to war for a small "Luqiu Qingfeng" or "Luqiu clan".

But in this matter, Xiaohuan Palace's "oppression" of the Luqiu clan was absolutely real.

That is to say-

The longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for Luqiu Qingfeng.

Unless he can also ask Venerable Han Yue to come to the rescue...

But let’s not talk about how difficult it is to ask Venerable Han Yue for help. It would cost such a huge price just for Luqiu Qingfeng, which he was not willing to bear.
