World version update

Chapter 184 Zhao Huowang's Relics
At night, the ruins of Beimang forbidden area.

Lu Yan rejected Li Hao's request to stay at the Li family mansion and returned to the ruins of the barren mountain. The exquisite and elegant courtyard that Li Hao had just built seemed incompatible with the desolate and silent environment around it.

Lu Yan walked slowly into the courtyard. Several restriction talismans in his storage bag turned into streams of light and fell on every corner of the courtyard. The invisible restriction enveloped the entire courtyard.

Then Lu Yan waved the soul flag in his hand, and the dark ghost fog swept through every corner of the courtyard. After confirming that there was no trace of any spying, one ghost soldier after another strode out from the soul flag, forming a formation to block all information in the courtyard.

Even at this point, Lu Yan still felt uneasy.

In the demon version, there are many true meanings of the Great Dao. In the face of the rule-level power of the true meaning of the Great Dao, the formation formed by the Yin soldiers may not be able to resist the prying eyes from the outside world.

He slowly raised his right hand, and the Gate of Xuanpin appeared in his palm. The aura of suppressing all things enveloped the entire courtyard. Anyone who tried to peek into the true meaning of the great way would inevitably be suppressed by the Gate of Xuanpin.

Having achieved this step, Lu Yan finally felt at ease and began to sort out today's gains.

After the banquet in the daytime, the hidden dangers brought about by the correction of the demon's way of heaven had been eliminated, and Lu Yan had also used the so-called method of becoming immortal, "Changchun Gong", to tie together the interests of various thousand-year-old families, thus eliminating the biggest external threat.

In addition, Lu Yan also established his identity as the messenger of the underworld, temporarily concealing the crisis of his own true law.

Walking into the training room in the courtyard, Lu Yan sat cross-legged.

One by one, the books in the storage bag fell around Lu Yan. These books were all from the Li family's collection.

After solving the troubles of various thousand-year-old families, Lu Yan simply mentioned that he was interested in the true law system, and Li Hao packed up all the classics of the Li family and sent them to him.

It contains not only various basic information about the True Dharma, but also many historical legends that have been passed down to this day, and even a large number of True Dharma originals, including three precious True Dharmas that are ranked within 5,000 on the True Dharma List of Heaven and Earth, and have less than a hundred practitioners.

This level of true method can directly cultivate to the Demon Realm. In the outside world, it is enough to make countless Soul Burial Realm warriors fight for it.

Of course, the true method is just a supplement. Lu Yan’s biggest gain from this trip is something else.

Thinking of this, Lu Yan unfolded his soul flag, and two souls slowly floated out from the flag.

Lu Yan’s greatest gain was the Demon Realm soul that Li Hao voluntarily offered.

You should know that all the ghosts and gods in Lu Yan's soul flag are only in the initial stage of foundation building at best. The souls in the Demon Realm, which are comparable to the Golden Core, are undoubtedly of great value to Lu Yan.

In order to avoid unexpected situations, as soon as the two souls entered the Soul Banner, Lu Yan arranged for the Giant Spirit to erase the memories of the two Demon Realm souls, leaving only empty soul bodies.

Looking at the two souls that looked like ghostly blue ghost fires, Lu Yan carefully thought about how to make the most of these two souls.

"The best option is of course to sacrifice and refine it into a main soul. Once the main soul of the Jindan stage is sacrificed and refined, it will be enough to make the soul flag ascend to heaven in one step and have the foundation to fight against the Jindan stage. When encountering something like today, there is no need to bite the bullet and liberate the soul continent.

But this option is not safe. "

Lu Yan looked at the two souls, but he began to hesitate.

The first reason is that although the Soul Banner has accommodated the Soul Continent, it has ultimately failed to be upgraded to the Thousand Soul Banner. It has already reached the limit of the Soul Banner, and there is a great risk in refining the Demon Realm soul in advance.

The second reason is the most important reason, that is, the demon version of the soul of the Demon Realm belongs to the Avenue of Heaven and Earth!

If Lu Yan chooses to sacrifice his soul to be the main soul, he will be competing with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth for food. If the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth assimilates his soul by mistake, Lu Yan may lose everything.

“Although in theory, if we can hold on until the next version update and complete the version replacement, we won’t have to worry about our main soul being assimilated by the avenue.

However, the bodies of Li Kuang and Li Qie have been destroyed, leaving only their souls with their memories erased. It is still unknown whether they can survive this period of time. "

After careful consideration, Lu Yan chose the most prudent approach and used the two souls in the Demon Realm as nourishment for ghosts and gods.

A moment later, the mournful wails of the spirits echoed in the courtyard.

After Lu Yan settled down, four months passed in a flash.

During these four months, Lu Yan never stepped out of the courtyard of Beimang Forbidden Land.

During this period, various thousand-year-old families, Li Hao, and even Bi Jie came to visit him, but were all rejected by Lu Yan one by one.

The research on "Changchun Gong" by the thousand-year-old families is in full swing. Since the ability level in the demon world is not low and there are many strong people in the thousand-year-old families, there are not many obstacles in studying a method of practicing Qi.

The real difficulty lies in obtaining a pure spiritual environment and deducing the subsequent contents of the Qi training method.

To this end, the thousand-year-old families from all sides have tried every possible means and come up with many unique ideas.

For example, create a technique related to the aura, and then have people practice this technique to master the true meaning of aura, and become a humanoid spiritual vein technique for the aristocratic family.

Or create an absolutely enclosed space to allow the demon warriors to devour all the demon energy, leaving only the purest spiritual energy through the demon filtering method.

Thanks to the unstinting support of the major thousand-year-old families, some people have been promoted to the late stage of Qi training in just four months. The speed is so fast that it can be considered cheating.

According to this progress, it is estimated that the foundation-building bottleneck will be encountered before the version is updated.

Lu Yan originally used the "Changchun Gong" to fool these thousand-year-old families, so naturally he would not teach them the relevant knowledge about foundation building. He thought that the job was done after fooling them until the version was updated.

As for the Li family, although they lost three powerful demon Luo realm masters, they still managed to maintain their momentum with the help of Lu Yan's power. Lu Yan instructed Li Hao not to rashly expand the power of the Li family before making a breakthrough in his cultivation, which could be regarded as providing some guarantee for the subsequent versions.

As for Bi Jie who came to Luocheng with Lu Yan, he joined the Li family and learned a true method taught by Li Hao.

This true method has the hope of advancing to the realm of Demon Luo in the future, but whether he can enter that realm depends on Bi Jie's own talent.

Of course, these things are just insignificant matters to Lu Yan.

During these four months, the person who gained the most was naturally Lu Yan himself.

The demon version's spiritual energy was mixed with the demon's energy, so Lu Yan gave up his daily practice and focused all his attention on the soul flag and the true method.

Since the foundation of ghosts and gods is still shallow, two demon-level souls are not enough to directly promote a ghost or god from the initial foundation-building stage to the golden elixir stage.

Therefore, Lu Yan could only divide the two souls among the two giant spirit gods and the blood god.

The reason for choosing them is very simple. The omniscience of the Giant Spirit God and the innate soul-fusion technique of the Blood God can both better bring out the capabilities of the Soul Banner.

The ability of the guardian god is closer to protection, which is not of much help to Lu Yan who is in urgent need of improving his strength.

The powerful souls and the true meaning of the great Dao contained therein pushed the two ghosts and gods directly to the peak of the foundation-building realm.

However, it is very difficult for ghosts and gods to advance to the Jindan stage. Even if there is another demon soul, it is difficult to break through the threshold of this great realm. Lu Yan must improve the quality of the soul flag to the Thousand Soul Flag, which is comparable to a magic weapon.

In addition to the great improvement in the Soul Banner, Lu Yan gained more in the Seventeen True Methods.

With the cover of the Beimang Forbidden Land ruins and Lu Yan's various methods, Lu Yan spent most of the past four months comprehending the Great Dao and grasping its true meaning.

With the help of the Li family's collection of books, Lu Yan is now able to use the Xuantong true meaning to perfectly conceal the true meaning of the Dao on his body.

Xuanpin, Tai'e, Guixu, Wuming and Sansha Lu Yan monopolize the seventeen most advanced avenues, and with the help of their status as the Heavenly Dao, they can intercept the true meaning of the avenues at will.

As a rule-level ability, the effects of the seventeen great principles are far more powerful than Lu Yan had originally imagined.

Especially the Xuanpin true meaning as the source of all things in heaven and earth. Once the door of Xuanpin is opened, all laws are forbidden. This can no longer be simply summarized by the true meaning of the Tao. The essence of the door of Xuanpin is more like a high-level authority dog.

The true meaning of the Great Dao is an ability that belongs to the category of rules and authorities, but once the Gate of Xuanpin is opened, your authority will be directly sealed, leaving you with nowhere to display it.

However, there are also differences in the size of the true meanings of the great Dao. No matter how high the status of the Xuanpin Gate is, with the size that Lu Yan currently possesses, it is impossible to seal the true meaning possessed by an old ancestor of the Mingyuan.

These human ancestors in the underworld have already mastered a part of the great Dao of heaven and earth, and have transformed themselves into the Dao, almost becoming the incarnation of the great Dao of heaven and earth.

Faced with the absolute power gap, Lu Yan naturally had no chance to display his skills.

But if he faces a strong man in the Demon Luo Realm, combined with the ghosts and gods in the Soul Banner, Lu Yan would have some confidence to fight against the strong man in the Demon Luo Realm.

This kind of practice continued until the fifth month, when the arrival of a figure broke Lu Yan's originally peaceful practice.

Li Hao, who had reorganized his family, stood outside the elegant courtyard and spoke loudly to the courtyard surrounded by endless ghost fog:
"Your Excellency the Envoy, the He Dongsheng you requested has been found."

Over the past few months, Li Hao came to visit Lu Yan several times, but Lu Yan only communicated through the ban and never showed up in person.

Li Hao thought that today's report would be the same as the previous ones, but what he didn't expect was that just a few seconds after he opened his mouth, the ghost fog that had shrouded the entire courtyard for several months suddenly dissipated.

Lu Yan strode out of the courtyard holding the soul flag and asked with a moved expression:
"He Dongsheng has been found? Where is he?"

Lu Yan's questioning made Li Hao's heart tremble. He could clearly sense the terrifying true meaning of the avenue that flashed by in Lu Yan's body. His high rank made even this powerful warrior at the peak of the Demon Luo realm feel a little palpitated.

“Your Excellency the Envoy, we have found that He Dongsheng appeared in Luocheng ten months ago and rented a courtyard in the city, but not long after that, He Dongsheng suddenly disappeared.

We searched He Dongsheng's house and only found this."

As he spoke, Li Hao took out a letter.

When Lu Yan took the letter, his pupils suddenly shrank. He saw four big words "From Brother Lu" written on the letter.

He quickly opened the envelope and saw a message from He Dongsheng on it.

"Brother Lu, I have found the remains of Zhao Huowang that you asked me to find. I have finally lived up to your trust.

It's a pity that I haven't been able to contact you these days. It just so happens that Master has something important to do, so I can only leave with Master early and can't hand it over to you personally."

The message on the letter paper ended here.

Lu Yan quickly looked at the bottom of the envelope and found the relic of Zhao Huowang mentioned by He Dongsheng, which was a piece of broken bamboo slips.

The characters on it are crooked, like scribbled scribbles, showing weirdness and madness.

[The immortal took everyone away and here he comes! 】
