Journey to the head

The Biluo Peak reaches the sky and the Baiyujing stands tall and majestic.

More than half a month has passed since Lu Qian led the army north to fight the monsters. The disciples of Yunshan and the scouts spread across Pinghu County have gradually become accustomed to the existence of this fairy city.

Before Lu Qian left, he shrunk Baiyujing slightly. It was no longer as huge as a mountain, but hanging in the sky above the Biluo Peak, it was still a breathtaking immortal palace.

It was because the Yujing spirit was sleeping and repairing itself, and before Lu Qian entered his soul and made it recognize his master, it was quite inconvenient to control it to fight, and its power was greatly reduced. Therefore, Lu Qian simply handed the control token to the deputy head Wang Yu, and left it at home to condense spiritual energy for the elders and talented people in the sect to practice.

Now, the three core members of the Yunshan Sect who remained behind, Jiang Qingfeng, Wang Yu and Wu Yan, were chatting in the main hall of Yujing.

"Junior Brother Li is making rapid progress in his studies. He has now completed all the contents of the three levels of spiritual seedling enlightenment, including the elementary, intermediate and advanced levels, and has mastered them thoroughly. I have tested him many times and he always answered them fluently." Wu Yan was somewhat amazed. "Now, he has officially started to study the courses that lay the foundation for the initial stage of Qi training."

Jiang Qingfeng smiled and said, "It's okay to learn the enlightenment course faster. My junior brother and I have already taught him these contents in the small world. It's just that they were not systematic before, so now we have sorted them out again. It's just the official start of laying the foundation, but don't be too hasty. A tall building is built from the ground up, and you have to work hard to supervise the work of tamping the foundation and laying the platform."

Wu Yan nodded: "Junior Brother Li is extremely talented and has a high level of comprehension. He often understands things at once. I am also happy to teach him."

She paused: "No matter his talent or character, he is destined to be an extraordinary person. But he is always a little arrogant. I don't know how to say him, and I don't even know whether this is good or bad."

Jiang Qingfeng then remembered that regarding Li Sheng, Lu Qian only said that he was a good disciple he had accepted in the small world, and he had not yet explained Li Sheng's life experience to everyone.

So she told the story of Li's Immortal Dynasty Daxia and Li Sheng in the Baoguang Realm. Wu Yan and Wang Yu listened attentively and were quite surprised.

Although it took them a while to understand what "dynasty" and "emperor" meant based on the understanding of Yuanchen Realm, it did not prevent them from getting to know Li Sheng again.

The Emperor of Daxia, a young emperor, whose ancestors were once one of the controllers of the Baoguang Realm, even if he fell into poverty in his generation, the emperor still possessed supreme authority and was synonymous with God in the eyes of hundreds of millions of common people. Even if the treacherous minister was in power, Li Sheng could still make many people lose their heads with just one word!
"So that's how it is. Junior Brother Li actually has such a distinguished background." Wu Yan understood everything now. Li Sheng's arrogance was so natural. He didn't intentionally pursue that kind of life, but that was his nature.

All under heaven belongs to the emperor, the emperor has supreme authority and enjoys supreme enjoyment!
Wang Yu said with emotion: "At such a young age, he was able to lay low and forbearing, and once the opportunity came, he could strike decisively and with great courage. He is truly a great man of his generation. No wonder the Sect Master likes him so much and overcame the barrier in his heart."

"Just looking at his words and actions, at best he is ambitious, at worst he is overambitious. We must be careful in disciplining him."

Jiang Qingfeng, however, had a deeper understanding of the "emperor". She smiled and said, "I think it's not a bad thing for Li Sheng to do this. Which hero in the world doesn't have both ambition and ability? Only such a person can carry the banner of the Yunshan Sect. He may have been a wise ruler in the past, but as long as we train him carefully, he will surely become a great Yunshan monk."

"Besides, I also have confidence in my junior brother."

After discussing Li Sheng, the others talked about the work of the various departments of Yunshan Sect during the wartime period. They made plans for some parts that needed to be adjusted and prepared to submit them to the Elders Council for discussion and implementation.

Talking about the Cangzhou coalition forces that sent back the latest intelligence every day, Wu Yan sighed.

"The intensity of the battle is beyond imagination. Fortunately, Master has thought of a way to save Qingzhou. Otherwise, given the current situation, it would be difficult to deliver supplies, and the army would probably be forced to turn back."

"Yes, the Qingzhou demon tribe has begun to move towards the coalition forces, and there is a tendency to encircle them. Not only is it difficult to deliver supplies, but intelligence has also begun to stagnate." Jiang Qingfeng was a little worried. "After more than half a month of fighting, all sects have suffered heavy losses. In addition to the Jiuxian Sect that withdrew at the beginning, seven Jindan Sects have already withdrawn from the battlefield. Seeing that the war is getting more and more intense, our strength is slowly weakening."

According to the latest intelligence received earlier today, the Cangzhou coalition forces have suffered a lot of damage compared to when they set out.

Although the Nascent Soul was not damaged, everyone was injured.

Many Jindan Zhenren were injured and four of them were killed.

One of them turned out to be an old acquaintance of the Yunshan Sect and the leader of its subordinate sect, the Shouzhuo Sect, Qin Zhiyi.

Qin Zhiyi died under the sudden attack of the Yuanying demon. Even if he was avenged later, he would be forever lost in a foreign state.

Like the Shouzhu Sect, the Guangyao Sect of Dongping County also fell back to the foundation-building sect. After fifty years, they finally had a Jindan Zhenren, but he died in the northern expedition against the demon tribe.

In addition, the Jindan sent by two independent sects were killed in the battle, and the two sects withdrew from the battle after distributing the points.

The deaths of these Jindan Zhenren made the various sects that were originally fanatical about earning points slowly sober up. They began to carefully consider their own strength and treat the increasingly fierce battle situation with caution, wondering whether they would have lives to earn but no lives to spend.

Under tremendous pressure, two independent Jindan sects voluntarily withdrew from the battlefield and returned south to Cangzhou together.

According to them, the journey back south was extremely dangerous and they only managed to escape with great difficulty. One of the Jindan had his arm broken and another was poisoned.

Their statements further confirmed one thing, that is, the encirclement of the Cangzhou coalition forces is becoming tighter and tighter!

In addition to casualties, a number of various airships were also destroyed. Zhengyuan Shenzhou lost two, Zhenyuan Shenzhou lost twenty-two, and other various airships and wind-controlling beasts also lost 30%.

In short, compared with when they set out from Cangzhou, the strength of the Cangzhou coalition forces has declined a lot.

Under Lu Qian's command, there are still four Nascent Souls, twenty-three Golden Core True Immortals, two hundred and forty Foundation Establishment Feathered Scholars, and more than nineteen thousand Qi Training Elite.

He controls one Weiyuan Shenzhou, eight Zhengyuan Shenzhous, and seventy-eight Zhenyuan Shenzhous. The number of other various types of airships and wind-controlling beasts is much less than before.

If we were to give an estimated number, nearly 6,000 people had died in the battle to eliminate the demons since the start of the battle. It can only be said that people die for money and birds die for food, even for monks.

The only consolation was that the four combat battalions of the Yunshan Sect had been controlling the most powerful Weiyuan Shenzhou, and with Lu Qian's real-time care, the damage was minimal.

However, as the war continues to escalate, how long can the disciples of Yunshan remain healthy?

"Is it possible that Master is too confused because of the situation? Do I need to give him some advice and ask him to change his mind in time?" Wu Yan felt that the situation was tense and her heart was heavy.

Wang Yu shook his head: "The headmaster has opened up the situation in southern Qingzhou. He has the support of many local sects, and he has the assistance of wise men such as Lin Le and Fang He. He should have his own judgment."

Jiang Qingfeng sighed: "The Cangzhou coalition forces are heading to Nujiang County. After crossing the Nujiang River, it is Quyang. It is only one step away from the ancestral vein. I am afraid that Junior Brother will not give up at this time."

After a few whispers, Wu Yan consoled them, "All the Nascent Souls in the coalition are extremely powerful. Our Master also secretly brought the Yuan Pin Pearl with him this time, so they will be able to protect themselves. For the time being, we will offer the Immortal Scrolls and defend our territory, and be careful to guard against surprise attacks by the demon tribe."

Amidst the blood mist, roars and screams, Lu Qian walked alone.

The floating ships that blocked out the sun overhead dropped dense spiritual light cannons, plasma bombs, and thunder and fire shells. Countless mines and booby traps exploded in the air. Team after team of spiritual snake Taoist soldiers were descending from the sky, killing people in all directions.

Monsters died in large numbers, with various causes of death. Some were blown to pieces by artillery fire, some were rubbed and half of their bodies were vaporized, some were beheaded or pierced through the heart by a monk's sword, or had their heads pierced directly by bright flames.
Millions and tens of millions of monsters were slaughtered in this way; their bones and flesh piled up into mountains, their blood flowed into rivers, and their blood rushed straight into the sky, covering the sun and the moon.

Lu Qian was walking in such a tragic scene, not knowing where his destination was, he just walked forward aimlessly.

This fierce battle did not seem to have any effect on him. Even though his body was stained with blood and even covered with monsters' internal organs and bones and flesh fragments, everything around him seemed to be very far away from him and could not be really touched.

He frowned, not knowing where he came from, nor where he was going.
who am I?
A voice suddenly sounded in my ears.

"Head!"

He looked up and saw Lin Le, standing in the sea of ​​blood and corpses, holding the head of a monster in his hand.

"Master, Master, Master!"

Suddenly, countless shouts rang out. They were Jiang Baitao, Xiao Tianci, Zhao Kongque, An Fanghe, and many other familiar yet unfamiliar Yunshan disciples. They were slaughtering monsters, then stopped and called out to themselves. At this moment, a flash of inspiration passed by.

By the way, I am the head of Yunshan, I am Tianyuanzi, and I am Lu Qian!

I led this massacre and killed tens of millions of monsters!

With a loud bang, it was as if a thin film was pierced, and the fighting scene that seemed so close just now suddenly enveloped him. Millions of monsters were rushing towards him with hysterical roars, and countless Yunshan disciples and Cangzhou monks around him rushed forward to meet them.

They were all shouting loudly.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Dead! Die! Die!"

Endless killing, endless death.
Lu Qian was confused again. He watched as countless monsters with vibrant lives and unique appearances suddenly died, their bones and flesh turned into mud, and then suddenly disintegrated into five kinds of light and disappeared between heaven and earth.

Living beings brought about death, from birth to death, and then collapsed into their origins and returned to heaven and earth.

I have killed millions of lives, extinguished millions of lives, and created millions of dead spirits. What is the meaning of all this?
hiss.
Lu Qian fell into deep thought.

Until he was awakened by a violent roar, and a Yuanying demon suddenly pounced on him!
Lu Qian didn't have time to think, and used all his skills to fight it. He opened the Five Elements Realm, displayed the Five Elements Formation, used the Five Colors Divine Light and the Creation Divine Light, and finally killed it.

The giant monster's huge body fell to the ground with a loud bang, but Lu Qian noticed that its originally flat belly was constantly bulging?
Suddenly, there was a soft "puff" sound, and clear amniotic fluid suddenly spurted out from the lower body of the dead monster, followed by strands of blood, and then a pure white, flawless, and extremely holy little life slid down from the birth canal.

It was glowing with white light all over, emitting unparalleled vitality. At this moment, the blood color in the sky faded away.

Lu Qian tried very hard to see its appearance, but he failed. The little life stood up shakily, walked to Lu Qian, grabbed his sleeve, and called out softly.

"Daddy!"

call!
Lu Qian suddenly woke up from the bed, gasping for breath and reaching out to touch his forehead which was covered in cold sweat.

Is this a dream?
At this moment, Lu Qian felt extremely confused. He didn't know what was real and what was false. He didn't know whether he created the dream or the dream created him.

He took a breath and finally calmed down. He walked out of the cabin and stood on the deck of Weiyuan Shenzhou in a daze.

By the way, I am now leading my army to Nujiang County.

But what on earth was that dream just now about?

In that dream, I seemed to have countless insights, which were completely unable to be expressed in words.

"Lu Qian, what's wrong with you?"

The blazing spiritual pressure flashed to Lu Qian's side. It was Gu Nishang. She looked at Lu Qian's pale face in surprise and reached out to touch his forehead.

Lu Qian took her hand and whispered, "I had a strange dream."

Gu Nishang suddenly became alert.

A Yuanying cultivator has already passed the great catastrophe of the inner demon. His mind and spirit are united, his state of mind is clear, and he has returned to his original purity without any distracting thoughts. How can he have dreams?

Daxiu's dream was extraordinary.

In the past, the True Dragon Immortal Lord entered a dream, and in the dream, the Dream Chi was born. The Emperor Corpse Lord entered a dream, and in the dream, the Prison Corpse Desolate Land and the Ten Thousand Corpse Clan were born.

What is going on now that Lu Qian is dreaming?

Seeing Gu Nishang's nervous expression, Lu Qian shook his head.

"It's not what you think. It's hard to say it's a nightmare. It seems to be some kind of revelation, some kind of understanding that is just a thin layer of window paper away."

He fell silent.

Yes, after diligently studying his own Dao Mengdie Heavenly Book and gaining some insights from the life-and-death battle with Ji Shu, he was just one step away from success.

Gu Nishang asked: "Then tell me, what did you dream about?"

Lu Qian closed his eyes and recalled the dream without answering. After a long time, he suddenly asked.

"We have committed countless sins. Apart from benefiting ourselves, what use are we to this world?"

Gu Nishang frowned, but when she saw Lu Qian's extremely serious expression, she suddenly had an idea and started to think about it seriously.

Sadly, it's of no use.
So she became embarrassed and shouted, "Why think so much? Just kill him, is it your turn to think about this world?"

Lu Qian's eyes lit up, and he murmured, "Yes, yes, I was born of heaven and earth. Kill or be killed, no matter what I do, I am a part of heaven and earth, and I cannot affect heaven and earth. From life to death, from death to life, the cycle of life and death, the transformation of origin, this is the great way of the five elements!"

He suddenly became extremely anxious, feeling that the answer was right in his heart, just a tiny bit away, just a thin layer of mist away, but he just couldn't get out!
Lu Qian suddenly grabbed Gu Nishang, stared into her eyes, and asked hurriedly: "Life and death, life and death, what is the relationship between them? Tell me, tell me quickly!"

Gu Nishang was stunned. She had never thought about so much, but the moment her eyes met Lu Qian's, distant memories suddenly came to her mind.

Gu Nishang laughed.

"Life and death are simultaneous, and death and life are simultaneous. Lu Qian, have you understood?"

There was sudden silence between heaven and earth.

At this moment, all the monks held their breath. They were awed by the sudden tremor in their souls.

Suddenly, a strange phenomenon occurred!

Five-colored light shot up into the sky from Lu Qian!

The immortal characters and Taoist scripts spread across the night sky, and the wonderful sounds of the Tao float in the sky!

Heaven and man interact with each other, and strange visions arise.

The head of Yunshan, Tianyuanzi Lu Qian, suddenly realized the fourth magical power! (End of this chapter)
