Beginning to practice immortality as a refugee

Chapter 558 Various cultivators
Lu Ye only took a quick glance and recognized many of the monks' faces.

This is the first time I have seen Buddha Master.

This old Deng is Du Wan’s master, and he has reached the great perfection of the Nascent Soul stage… That’s not right.

From the perspective of the Fish-Dragon Diagram, this person's light ball was uncertain whether it was real or fake. In the previous breath, it was still the normal Nascent Soul Great Perfection strength, and in the next breath, it soared several times to the level of Spirit Transformation.

However, in the blink of an eye, he fell back to the Nascent Soul Great Perfection State.

It's a very strange state.

You said he was a cultivator who had reached the great perfection of the Nascent Soul Stage, but at a certain moment, the ball of light in the Fish-Dragon Diagram's perspective suddenly increased, far exceeding its peers and breaking through the upper limit.

You said he was a Divine Transformation cultivator? That's not right, because he was up and down most of the time, and he fell more often, stuck in the Nascent Soul Great Perfection stage.

Lu Ye suspected that he used some secret method. What was this?
Half-step to becoming a god?

Also.

Twenty years ago, Lu Ye once visited Futu Island.

The towering trees that I saw at the beginning were lush and green, with dazzling light. They were infinite in size, far superior to those of monks. When their canopies were spread out, they were dozens of miles in radius, protecting the core area of ​​​​Futu Island.

With the towering trees and the Futu Island defense formation, it was once praised as the best defense in the East China Sea.

Never imagined.

It turns out that this towering tree is not a good housekeeper.

You say that you are a tree with roots in the soil, guarding the house honestly, how nice it would be, but who would have thought that you would pull out your roots and run away with Master Futu.

If I could bring this tree back to Zhongxiang Island...

Ahem, you've been overthinking it. Master Futu is not a dead master.

Lu Ye looked at the big tree carefully.

At first, the trunk of this tree was unknown how thick it was and as tall as a mountain. A single leaf of it could seat dozens of monks. The lush crown of the tree blocked out the sky for dozens of miles.

It doesn't seem like a tree species that should exist in the human world.

It is also a miracle that it has survived for tens of thousands of years without being cut down by humans.

It is said that there were many other species of trees that coexisted with it in the past, but the pagoda tree was huge in size, absorbed spiritual energy slowly, was slow to advance, and was slow to develop spiritual intelligence.

In other words, apart from obtaining a long duration and being large enough, it is of little use to those cultivators who have reached the stage of spiritual transformation, virtual refining and body fusion.

But a Nascent Soul cultivator would be no match for a towering tree.

Therefore, during the same period, those naturally occurring alien trees that were superior to it were either subdued or suffered from lightning strikes, and their whereabouts are now unknown, and their lives or deaths are uncertain.

But it was the only one that survived tenaciously and gained intelligence.

Lu Ye now saw the towering tree under the feet of Fu Tu Zhenren again.

The tree has shrunk to about twenty feet tall. Although it is still a towering tree, it is no longer the giant that is as big as a mountain and intimidating.

Its body shape can change freely, which shows that its realm has improved. In addition, the tree's spiritual power reaction has weakened a lot, and it is no longer that terrifyingly majestic and massive.

But from the perspective of the fish and dragon picture, the corresponding light becomes more pure and brilliant, indicating that the spiritual power contained in it has become much purer.

Previously it was in the perspective of the fish and dragon diagram.

It used to be a large and light-colored ball of light, but now it is small and bright, which means it has reduced quantity and improved quality.

Moreover, the light inside the tree trunk was also very strange. Before on Futu Island, Lu Ye clearly saw a large ball of green light, which was pure wood-attributed spiritual power.

Now looking at it, it is actually four or five points similar to the spectrum of mana emitted by Master Fu Tu...

It seems to be affected by pollution.

hiss……

Lu Ye wondered in his heart, could it be that this Master Futu had refined this towering tree into his own clone?

Otherwise, the pagoda tree would not have undergone such strange changes.

No wonder Du Wan wanted to get the marrow fluid of the cantharides tree but failed.

Isn't that digging into Master Fu Tu's own background?
In this case, could the fact that Master Futu's cultivation level fluctuated from time to time also be related to his failure to completely refine and master the towering tree?
Previous intelligence said that Master Futu was under a towering tree, and his attacks were almost as powerful as those of a Divine Transformation cultivator.

This time he took part in the exhibition, he did not bring the picture of the deity, but only brought towering trees, which shows his confidence.

Lu Ye made the decision immediately.

When you get to the battlefield, stay away from this old man.

This old Deng was so cold-blooded that he didn't even want to save his own disciple, and couldn't bear to see the foundation of his Taoism destroyed.

When a fight breaks out, outsiders have nothing to do with him, and he might even be able to send away both his enemies and his allies with just a wave of his hand.

Among the four masters, according to the results of observations from the Fish and Dragon Diagram, his current cultivation level is the highest.

Lu Ye looked behind Fu Tu Zhenren again.

Qingyangzi holding the seal is an old acquaintance. I haven't seen him for twenty years. He looks much older and no longer has the high-spirited look as when he presided over the Futu Island Conference.

Yes, he has been unlucky since the year the Dragon Alliance was established. First Du Wan died, then Iron Swordsman and Cloud Piercer.

He was the one who handled the matter of Cheng Bingyan's engagement with Taoist Master Qingfeng, and the couple broke up.

How can the heart not be tired?
Next to Qingyangzi was a woman in plain robe with a murderous look on her face. Her pretty face was frost-stained and she looked a bit arrogant. She should be Bing Ling Shuang Dao, the senior sister who had a one-sided love with Du Wan but could not get him.

I heard that Bing Ling Shuang Dao has been in charge of Futu Island for these years, and has developed a bit of domineering attitude.

There were two more people following behind them.

A man wearing a yellow robe and carrying a yellow cloth bag, looking amiable like a shopkeeper, should be Huang Liangsheng, one of the Seven Sons of Buddhism, who is good at pulling people into an illusion and then launching a fatal attack.

There was another person with a medicine hoe and basket tied around his waist. He must be the doctor of poison, one of the seven.

Of the Seven Buddhas, Du Wan, Iron Swordsman, and Cloud Piercer died one after another, leaving only these four.

Lu Ye didn't recognize the other Nascent Soul cultivators from Futu Island. They should be Nascent Soul masters recruited from nearby islands.

In addition, there are more than twenty tree babies in the team.

Lu Ye seriously suspected that Master Futu had brought all his secrets here.

All the high-ranking officials on the island were dispatched, fearing that it was related to the cave near the passage that was suspected to be the Dragon Palace.

after all.

Because of the Dragon Palace Immortal Palace, three Nascent Soul cultivators died on Futu Island.

The Dragon-stealing Alliance and Futu Island have been fighting for more than 20 years, and it seems that the answer may be found soon.

Of course, we must fight for Futu Island with all our strength.

Lu Ye looked at the other side again.

There is nothing good to see about the West Sea Dragon King in the King Snake Palace. Strictly speaking, this old dragon is not a dragon, but just an old dragon.

The lifespan is very long. Human Yuanying cultivators can only live for a thousand years, but this old dragon has lived for more than two thousand years and gave birth to countless dragon sons and grandsons.

Even among the demon race, they are all considered to be an immortal species.

In fact, if we remove the strange signs of Master Futu's instant transformation into a god, and observe from the perspective of the Fish-Dragon Diagram, in terms of cultivation, this immortal dragon has powerful magic power that is far superior to that of several masters.

He has lived a long life and has the body of a demon. He is born with a huge amount of energy and blood, amazing defense, and his spiritual awareness and magical powers are more powerful than those of humans.

It is even several times more than the demon cultivators of the same level.

The dragon clan was once one of the important royal clans among the demon clan. As the overlords of the deep sea, they were indeed extraordinary.

Of course, the West Sea Dragon King himself is extremely powerful, but what is even more terrifying is the divine treasure Kanglong Horn floating behind him, which has a long history.

It is said that tens of thousands of years ago, a demon race refining sage fought a powerful human enemy and died together, leaving behind his body remains. The demon race's true saint monks took the hardest dragon horn from the sage and refined it into a magic weapon, which is said to be extremely sharp.

With the exhaustion of spiritual energy and after years of degradation, it has become a spiritual weapon of divine treasure level.

Behind the Dragon King of the West Sea stood many sea creatures' Nascent Souls, which was particularly characteristic of the Dragon Palace.

Looking closely, most of these Nascent Souls are dressed the same, with dragon horns and dragon scales on their foreheads. It turns out that most of them are his descendants or relatives.

Among them, the princes of the Dragon Palace mostly wore jade crowns and silver armor, and the princesses wore red robes.

Among these princes and princesses, there was a pair of young men and women. The man looked very similar to the Dragon King of the West Sea, quite handsome, wearing a suit of shiny silver armor, and must be the best among the princes of the Dragon Palace.

As for the woman, she was also fully armed, with red armor and a red cloak, holding a dragon-tendon whip, looking heroic, with a pair of phoenix eyes, and looked somewhat familiar.

what.

Lu Ye was puzzled. Isn't this the "Prince Long Bing" who was defeated by Prince Hong He of the Evil God Temple in the top ten competition?

It turns out that he was a Westerner back then?

He turned and looked towards the Sea Eye Sect.

The most handsome middle-aged man in the audience exuded damn charm and friendliness, making people feel friendly and favorable towards him when they saw him.

Lu Ye seriously suspected that this person was born with an aura of charm.

He's so damn good looking.

He had never seen such a handsome monk.

This man is handsome and has a handsome name, and he is none other than Shuai Daozi, the leader of the Haiyan Sect.

Intelligence shows that this person is the youngest among his peers and possesses a special spiritual root called the Wutong spiritual root.

This spiritual root is naturally close to the Tao, and is very easy to gain sudden enlightenment and perception. The spiritual awareness is strong, and learning general skills is a piece of cake.

The name Shuai Daozi was given by his master, who hoped that he would become the son of the Great Dao.

In the future, Shuai Daozi indeed inherited the position of leader of the Haiyan Sect, reached the peak of his life in the East China Sea, and became a top master.

Unfortunately, Shuai Daozi is not Shuai Daozi… Behind him stands his abstractly ugly son Shuai Biefan.

Lu Ye looked at the fortune teller and wondered if he should ask Shuai Daozi to read his palm. How could he have given birth to such an ugly son?

So how hideous does his Taoist partner look like?
After not seeing each other for twenty years, he is still as ugly as ever.

In fact, think about it, if Cheng Bingyan had chosen this ugly young master who loved her, they would have been a perfect match and perhaps she would be happier now.

It would not lead to a falling out with Taoist Qingfeng and break out.

Not to mention this father and son who seem to be incompatible, the Shanhai Pearl on Shuai Daozi's head is a well-known divine treasure.

Legend has it that there is a complete small cave hidden in it, with its own spiritual vein.

When attacking, mountain souls and sea spirits will emerge to suppress people's spirits. They can also collect cultivators' magic weapons and absorb all kinds of spells and magical powers to attack. It is truly domineering.

It is said that the Haiyan Sect holds the Mountain and Sea Pearl. In fact, it doesn't matter where the sect's mountain is. As long as the Mountain and Sea Pearl is there, the sect will never have to worry about the supply of spiritual energy.

Lu Ye observed carefully.

This rumor is probably exaggerated.

He noticed that many of the monks in the team led by Haiyan Sect had scars on their bodies, and many of their robes were torn and tattered. It seemed that they had not had time to rest as they flew directly over from the battlefield over there.

Even Shuai Daozi himself was injured, which shows that it was not easy for them to plug the hole in Haishamen.

Lu Ye turned his gaze again.

Among the Chaoyang Sword Sect's team, he only recognized their leader Jian Qiuyi. The genius of his past still had the same indomitable spirit, his body was as straight as a sword, and his light was dazzling.

Anyone who saw it would know that he was cultivating the sword of victory that was unstoppable.

The sword art of escaping into the air that Lu Ye practiced himself was the sword of opportunity. He would wait for an opportunity, strike the target with one strike, then escape far away and come back slowly.

These are different views on kendo, and there is no difference between high and low.

Lu Ye pondered in his heart.

Jian Qiuyi's swordsmanship is good, but it's too fierce.

When dealing with a single enemy of similar strength, this will allow him to establish an invincible and confident posture, overwhelm the enemy with momentum, and ultimately achieve victory.

However, if you are dealing with a group of enemies who are all very strong, it is very likely that you will overdo it and be too tough and easily break.

A sword that only knows how to draw but not how to sheath it is easily broken.

I wish him good luck today.

The Chaoyang Sword Sect is only one of the four major sects in size, and there is no divine treasure in the sect, so this time they only sent Jian Qiuyi to lead the team.

Of course, for the Chaoyang Sword Sect, it was the best they could do.

Among the four major sects, only Nanliu Sect and Chaoyang Sword Sect sent personnel to provide support.

The Jinding Sect was under siege and had no time to take care of itself; the Haisha Sect even lost Wan Caiyi, a mainstay of the next generation, which shows how heavy the losses were. This time they only sent a few good fighters as a symbol and joined the Haiyan Sect's team.

Now, the six factions and five teams have gathered together.

When Lu Ye and others came out to take turns on duty, the practitioners from the Haiyan Sect, which was the farthest away from the Western Regions, arrived.

The five people including Xukong Zhenren, Nangong Xing, Futu Island, the Dragon King of the West Sea, Shuai Daozi and Jian Qiuyi gathered together.

Among them, Nangong Xing is the younger generation and serves as the sect leader. Jian Qiuyi is not an elder yet, but he is also the second most powerful swordsman in Chaoyang Sword Sect.

The identities of these two are enough to represent the sect.

After everyone greeted each other, Master Futu waved his sleeves, and the towering tree above his head dropped its branches, covering all six monks and completely blocking them from being detected by their spiritual senses.

On the flying boat.

Lu Ye and four others stood in different corners, responsible for guarding the monks on the boat.

In fact, there were four large teams around, so there was no need to be on alert, so the four of them communicated with each other through their spiritual sense.

See the truth and protect the Dharma.

"Wow, how many monks have arrived?"

"We have about a hundred people. Futu Island, King Snake Palace, Chaoyang Sword Sect, and Sea Eye Sect each have about a hundred people."

"There must be 500 Nascent Soul cultivators, right?"

"Oh my god, there are more guardian angels here than in the old monk's temple!"

The Beggar Lord of Hundred Clothes also sighed.

"Yes, we can only win this battle and cannot lose..."

"If we lose, Donghai will no longer have the will or the strength to resist."

Everyone understood what he meant.

Gather the four divine treasures, led by a sect leader, and gather more than 500 Nascent Soul cultivators.

The East China Sea has never had such a powerful force in the past thousand years.

If even this force was defeated, it would not only mean the loss of many Nascent Soul backbones, but also the collapse of the East China Sea cultivators' confidence in resistance.

Next, there will definitely be a wave of mass escape.

That is why this battle is so important, and the major sects have mobilized almost all their manpower and magical treasures.

Of course, Master Futu was rather cunning and left the sect's spiritual treasure, the Futu map, on the island.

The beggar leader of a hundred robes sighed.

“I’m afraid that within a thousand years, we won’t see such a grand spectacle again.”

"In fact, among the five continents of the human world, the Great Middle Continent was far inferior to the other four continents in that the battle between the human and demon races was so fierce that it caused the heavens to collapse and the earth to break."

"Among the other four continents, the East China Sea has the most and most abundant spiritual veins because of its special geographical location close to the sea."

"My East Sea monks are the most powerful among the five continents."

"If we lose too..."

He shook his head and said nothing more, implying that if the East China Sea was defeated, the other four continents would not be able to hold out for long.

Lu Ye turned his head and asked the fortune teller.

"Fellow Daoist, have you ever read the fortune to see whether this battle will be good or bad?"
