I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 649 Gong Shulan's foundation, Duan Changjing in the late Nascent Soul stage (4k, please subscribe)

After finalizing the plan, Wei Tu began to discuss with Gong Shulan how to conceal the truth, deliver the Heavenly Ghost Soul Seed to the hands of Scorpio Ancestor, and let Scorpio Ancestor voluntarily withdraw the soul fragment that existed in Gong Shulan's sea of ​​consciousness.

The former is not difficult.

Since Duan Changjing has already used the formation to survey the location of the "Heavenly Ghost Soul Seed", then by using Duan Changjing's hand, the true hiding place of the "Heavenly Ghost Soul Seed" can be secretly revealed to the Scorpio Ancestor...this matter can be accomplished.

As for the latter, we can’t just let Scorpio Patriarch “take the initiative” with a high probability, he must be “forced” to remove the split soul in Gong Shulan’s soul.

In order to achieve this goal.

There is only one way, and that is to severely damage the soul of Scorpio Ancestor.

It is not easy for the Scorpio ancestor, whose time is near, to recover from the injuries of his soul. Moreover, he needs to use the "Heavenly Ghost Soul Seed" to transform into a Heavenly Ghost clan. It is necessary to take away the soul fragment hidden in Gong Shulan's sea of ​​consciousness to recover from the injuries of his soul, and to increase the strength of his soul to increase the chance of successfully reincarnating as a Heavenly Ghost.

"God-breaking Nail!" Wei Tu's eyes flashed slightly, and he looked inside his Dantian. There was a long black nail about an inch long and engraved with mysterious runes, which was grasped by his Nascent Soul.

This nail is an excellent soul weapon that can severely damage the soul of Scorpio Ancestor.

However, he needed to be careful about controlling the power of this magic treasure to prevent accidentally killing the old demon, Scorpio Ancestor.

……

After finalizing the details of the plan with Gong Shulan.

Wei Tu withdrew the line of spiritual consciousness that extended to Gong Shulan's ear, restrained his breath, hid nearby, and waited for Scorpio Patriarch and Gong Shulan to sneak into Wanyin Sect.

Not long after, the Scorpio Patriarch and his disciple Gong Shulan on the deserted island made all preparations and began to fly towards the direction of the Wanyin Sect.

In midair, the Wanyin Sect monks controlled by the evil magic were seen holding ceremonial weapons and beating gongs and drums. The two people in the front row even played the official title cards that read "Madam, return to the sect" and "Idle people, stay away."

Behind it was a half-palace carriage carried by eight people. Gong Shulan, disguised as "Mrs. Jin", sat inside, wearing a red jacket with gold thread. She looked graceful and elegant, and exuded an air of nobility.

"This girl surnamed Gong pretends to be my wife so well. If I hadn't known early on that she was a human puppet, I'm afraid with my current level of cultivation, I would have found it difficult to tell that she was a fake."

Seeing this scene, the Red Dragon Ancestor, who was hiding in the dark with Wei Tu, widened his eyes and sighed.

"After she escapes from the clutches of Scorpio, given her personality, I'm afraid she will be like a dragon swimming in the sea, with a bright future ahead of her."

The Red Dragon Patriarch commented seriously.

The ghost spirit's cultivation aptitude can only be ranked average among the many spirits in the world of immortal cultivation, but its special magical talent of "one soul and two bodies" is not comparable to that of ordinary spirits.

Her outstanding ability to preserve her life means that Gong Shulan will have a great deal of room for error in future competition for resources.

He has the Wei Tu sample by his side.

Wei Tu's journey from the Nascent Soul Stage to the Spiritual Transformation Stage was not all smooth sailing, and he encountered many dangerous situations.

The reason why Wei Tu was able to escape danger was because of his dual cultivation of magic and body. With the protection of a fourth-level magic body, he had a high fault tolerance rate and was not afraid of some fatal attacks.

Gong Shulan's "one body, two souls" feature makes her far inferior to Wei Tu's fourth-level magic body in terms of combat effectiveness, but in terms of saving her life, she is far superior to Wei Tu who faces direct attacks.

also--

Because Gong Shulan joined the Juling Sect early on and was cultivated by the Scorpio Patriarch as a "reserve body", she now has a very solid foundation. In the Nascent Soul stage, her potential is already among the best.

Although Patriarch Chilong was not sure whether Gong Shulan could reach Wei Tu's current level in the future, he was sure that it would not be difficult for this girl to grow to the level of "quasi-godhood".

In the past, he would be the reserve force of the strongest men in both the righteous and evil paths in the Da Cang cultivation world.

"This woman's character is also incomparable to ordinary people. If she has the opportunity to become a god, she can also become a god."

Hearing the words of the Red Dragon Ancestor, Wei Tu nodded slightly and added this sentence from the perspective of the God Transformation Venerable.

A strong character is not enough to make a living.

But Gong Shulan has both the perseverance of "Hu Yao" and the qualifications of a ghost spirit, as well as the dedicated training of the Scorpio Ancestor... After getting the opportunity to become a god, it is not unimaginable for a pheasant to transform into a phoenix.

"Perhaps you can help this girl a little."

Wei Tu raised his eyebrows slightly and had some ideas in his mind.

The "funding" he mentioned did not mean giving Gong Shulan the resources to break through to the God Transformation Realm. He did not have these resources on him. If he had them, he would give them to Luqiu Qingfeng, so that this person who was truly by his side could break through to the God Transformation Realm.

The so-called funding is just some knowledge-based wealth at the level of spiritual transformation.

For example, some martial arts inheritance in Shengya Mountain, as well as his and Ding Lezheng’s related experience in breaking through the Divine Transformation Realm.

These things not only saved him from harm, but also enabled him to establish a deeper relationship with Gong Shulan.

Wei Tu intuitively felt that Gong Shulan’s path would not stop at the Nascent Soul stage.

During the communication with the Red Dragon Ancestor.

Gong Shulan has also brought a group of Wanyin Sect disciples to the mountain gate of Wanyin Sect.

"Madam is back?"

"Madam, after recuperating from your injuries, has returned to seize power?"

When the Wanyin Sect practitioners saw this, they were extremely surprised. Some of them showed a hint of surprise on their faces, but most of them were filled with fear.

More than three hundred years later, Duan Changjing had already controlled the Wanyin Sect through some high-pressure internal tactics. They were forced to swear allegiance to Duan Changjing, and were planted with poisonous insects and soul restrictions by Duan Changjing to control their life and death.

Within the Wanyin Sect, the former sect master, Patriarch Chilong, and his wife, Madam Jin, had long since become a thing of the past and were forgotten by all the cultivators.

Now that Madam Jin has returned to Wanyinmen, she must have been fully prepared and confident of seizing power... People like them will inevitably become victims between Madam Jin and Duan Changjing.

However, there were still quite a few monks present who were die-hard fans of the former sect master.

After seeing Gong Shulan disguised as "Mrs. Jin", these people did not hesitate at all and directly launched a rebellion within the sect as planned by Scorpio Patriarch and Gong Shulan, preparing to close the sect protection formation for Gong Shulan and his disciples and welcome the royal teacher.

But Duan Changjing was not unprepared for this. After a brief period of turmoil, the "rebellious monks" of the Wanyin Sect gradually lost their momentum.

however--

At this moment, the sound of an explosion of talismans suddenly came from the base of the Wanyin Sect's formation.

Immediately afterwards, the Wanyin Sect’s protective formation was shattered and disintegrated into nothingness.

Seeing this scene, the Scorpio ancestor hiding in the dark was immediately overjoyed. He did not expect that his simple trick would succeed so easily.

The Wanyin Sect's protective formation that had blocked him for many years completely disappeared at this moment.

However, Ancestor Scorpio did not know that this was not the result of the success of his strategy, but a deliberate act of letting him go by Wei Tu and Ancestor Red Dragon.

——Under the guidance of the Red Dragon Ancestor, Wei Tu entered the Wanyin Sect first and destroyed the foundation of the Wanyin Sect’s protective formation.

In the chaos, no one paid attention to Wei Tu, and no one could notice that a deity had quietly destroyed the Wanyin Sect's formation.

"Bitch! You're back?" At the moment the protective formation was broken, Duan Changjing, who was in seclusion in the Wanyin Sect, also came out. He had a long sword on his waist and flew to the mountain gate with a cold face, confronting "Mrs. Jin" at the mountain gate from a distance.

Its realm was also different from what Wei Tu had seen that year, it had reached the late Nascent Soul realm, its edge was fully revealed, like a sword unsheathed, emitting a terrifying aura.

However, neither the Scorpio Patriarch, nor the Wei Tu and Red Dragon Patriarchs were surprised by this.

Back then, Duan Changjing had already reached the peak of the middle Nascent Soul stage. Now, more than three hundred years have passed. It would be a strange thing if he did not make a breakthrough in his realm after he occupied the Wanyin Sect.

However, Duan Changjing was full of pride about his new realm. He looked down upon "Madam Jin" and sneered, "You bitch, you have been in charge of the Wanyin Sect for hundreds of years, but your realm is still in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. It would be a waste to give you the Wanyin Sect."

In the world of immortality, the strong are respected.

This is especially true among the evil sects.

In the struggle for power among fellow disciples, the reputation of orthodoxy is important, but the strength of one's actual ability is even more important.

Except for the diehard monks, other monks would rather swear allegiance to the more powerful side.

Now, "Mrs. Jin" is only in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, while Duan Changjing has reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul. It is obvious who is stronger and who is weaker.

But at this moment, a hoarse and vicissitudes voice suddenly came to the ears of the practitioners.

"Later stage of Nascent Soul..."

"What a majestic presence, Duan Changjing."

As soon as he finished speaking, while all the cultivators were stunned, Duan Changjing's expression changed instantly.

Because he was extremely familiar with this voice.

He is none other than the notorious evil giant in the demonic world of Da Cang's cultivation world - Patriarch Scorpio.

Although he and she are in the same realm, both are in the late Nascent Soul stage.

But one is the beginner and the other is at the peak, there is no comparison at all.

In addition, the strength of an evil giant like Scorpio Patriarch is not comparable to that of an ordinary Nascent Soul.

In other words, on the front battlefield, he would 100% not be a match for the Scorpio Patriarch.

"However, if it costs some money, self-protection should be possible."

Duan Changjing weighed the strength of the two of them and pondered.

"Scorpio, what are you doing in my Wanyin Sect? Are you in league with this bitch?"

Duan Changjing narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the Scorpio Ancestor who walked out from behind the imperial carriage holding a bone staff, and asked in a deep voice.

"Your eldest disciple, Zhang Nanqiu, was killed by Madam Jin's son-in-law, Taoist Fu..."

He revealed the secret of the past, hoping to create a crisis of trust between the Scorpio Patriarch and "Gong Shulan" and thereby give himself a chance to profit.

Yes, at this moment he was asking even though he knew the answer. He knew that the purpose of Old Ancestor Scorpio coming to Wanyin Sect was probably to get the Wanyin Sect's treasure - "Heavenly Ghost Soul Seed" that he had agreed to seize together more than three hundred years ago.

The Heavenly Ghost Soul Seed is useless to ordinary cultivators, but he does not want to give up this treasure. After all, this treasure can also be an opportunity for him to find another path in the future.

Hearing this secret, the Scorpio Patriarch's eyes suddenly shrank. He did not expect that such a grudge would arise between him and Wei Tu.

Was Zhang Nanqiu actually killed by Wei Tu?

At that time, what level of realm was Wei Tu at that time, that he could actually kill his disciple Zhang Nanqiu?

You know, his eldest disciple is not comparable to that trash like "Six Desires Taoist".

"No wonder Ding Lezheng has been eyeing this Wei Tu and can't stop thinking about him. This boy must be carrying a treasure."

The Scorpio Patriarch secretly made a judgment about Wei Tu, and planned that when he had the chance, he would kill Wei Tu before Ding Lezheng and obtain the treasure in Wei Tu's hands.

However, this was not the time for him to think deeply about this matter. After thinking about it for a while, he looked up at Duan Changjing, and a sneer appeared on his wrinkled old face.

"Duan Changjing, why do you think I came to your Wanyin Sect?"

The Scorpio Patriarch asked back.

"Hand over the Heavenly Ghost Soul Seed and fulfill the promise we made, and I will leave."

He said coldly.

"You can hand over the Heavenly Ghost Seed, but Scorpio, you must also fulfill the agreement we made that year and kill Madam Jin first."

Duan Changjing looked calm and showed no sign of weakness.

"I'm not discussing this with you."

The Scorpio Patriarch took a step forward, threw the bone staff in his hand casually, and cast a spell into it.

In an instant, the bone staff flew into the air and turned into a bone scorpion the size of a millstone, flashing with a strange blue light. It swung its tail stinger and stabbed towards Duan Changjing with lightning speed.

At the same time, Gong Shulan, who was sitting in the imperial carriage, also took action. She pinched her hands together and several white lights flew out from her sleeves and shot towards Duan Changjing.

These several white lights revealed their true forms in mid-air. They turned out to be several Nascent Soul human puppets with considerable power. One or two of them were even in the late Nascent Soul stage.

The two attacked one after the other, and were about to fall in a staggered manner, but Duan Changjing was not in a hurry. He raised his eyebrows slightly, looked in the direction of Gong Shulan, said "You are not that bitch", and then disappeared in a flash, widening the distance between the two.

However, the attack of Scorpio Patriarch is not so easy to avoid.

As Duan Changjing retreated violently, the bone scorpion's tail stinger suddenly increased in speed and pierced Duan Changjing's arm with lightning speed.

Duan Changjing was caught off guard by this result. His retreating body suddenly shook, his face changed drastically, and he quickly raised his knife to cut off the flesh on half of his arm.

It's sizzling!

The flesh and blood fell down and instantly turned dark blue. It was obvious that it contained a horrible poison, a poison that even Duan Changjing, an old ancestor in the late Nascent Soul stage, was afraid of.

However, the Scorpio Patriarch's attack was not over yet. When he saw Duan Changjing swinging his knife, he sneered, moved his lips slightly, and recited a spell.

The next moment, Duan Changjing's face, who had just stabilized his body, was covered with dark blue, exactly the same color as the flesh and blood he had just cut off.

"Using poison and spells together?"

Duan Changjing discerned the means used by the Scorpio Ancestor and realized that at the moment he was poisoned, he was also cursed by the Scorpio Ancestor.

This kind of curse, unlike spiritual poison, cannot be avoided simply by cutting off flesh and blood in time.

After being defeated in the first confrontation, Duan Changjing no longer had any thoughts of competing with the Scorpio Ancestor for strength and fierceness.

He practiced his skills and suppressed the "curse poison" in his body. He glanced at the Scorpio Patriarch with cold eyes and said tactfully, "Duan doesn't have any Heavenly Ghost Soul Seeds on him either. I have only used the formation to initially determine that there may be areas in the Wanyin Sect where Heavenly Ghost Soul Seeds may exist..."
