World version update

Chapter 207: Unofficial History of the Immortal Cultivation World

The moment he saw the third option, Lu Yan made the decision without hesitation.

"Choose the Xianxia version!"

There were no extra words. Lu Yan was well aware that delay would lead to changes. Even though the Changsheng version was most likely unable to interfere with the version update interface, Lu Yan was still unwilling to take any risks.

As the words fell, the space in front of him began to change. The plain where Lu Yan was located was gradually replaced by vast mountains and ridges. In an instant, the world changed dramatically.

The concentration of spiritual energy in the air began to rise sharply, and the decaying dusk of doomsday turned into a fairy-tale version of the sunset.

Ever since entering the demon version, Lu Yan has been shrouded in a deep sense of uneasiness, which has not been alleviated even after entering the doomsday version.

It was not until he entered the fairy-xia version again that the uneasiness that had been lingering in Lu Yan's heart finally dissipated.

In the Xianxia version, the glimmer of hope in Zhao Huowang’s last words is also Lu Yan’s only chance to fight against the Changsheng version.

Only after the version update was completely completed did Lu Yan breathe a sigh of relief.

In fact, in the final stage of the version update, when Lu Yan faced the Changsheng version, his heart was far from as calm as he appeared on the surface.

He actually couldn't be sure whether there were other hidden cards behind the Changsheng version.

The Human Emperor Banner and the version update balance rules, this is already the limit of what Lu Yan can use. If the Changsheng version plays any more cards, Lu Yan will have no strength to resist at all.

Fortunately, the Changsheng version was ultimately unable to break through the only limitation of this world, and Lu Yan, who had the home advantage, was better and barely won the game.

“However, entering the Xianxia version does not mean that everything will be fine.

Although Zhao Huowang warned that there is a glimmer of hope in the Xianxia version, entering it does not mean that you will be able to grasp the glimmer of hope.

I must use every opportunity to find life during the six months I stay in the Xianxia version."

Thinking of this, Lu Yan calmed down and began to carefully think about the current version of the fairy tale.

After seeing the Xianxia version, Lu Yan made a decisive choice, so much so that he ignored some details of the version update interface.

First of all, although the three versions of options, namely, evil ghost, starry sky, and fairy hero, have successfully suppressed the interference of the immortal version, this does not mean that these three versions are safe places.

On the contrary, Lu Yan tried his best to interfere with the version in the doomsday version, resulting in a 35% version change value, which led to a balance mechanism for version updates.

According to the balance mechanism, Lu Yan should encounter difficulties in these three versions.

Needless to say, the ghost version is just as dangerous as the demon version.

The starry sky version is a high-level version that combines technology and force. The power level should not be low, so it is natural that there is danger.

On the contrary, Lu Yan has personally experienced the fairy-xia version several times, so he should not encounter any unforeseen crisis.

But Lu Yan keenly noticed a detail, that is, the text behind the Xianxia version option has changed this time.

The earliest version of Xianxia was [Ascendence? Immortality? What is the end of the immortal path? ].

But after this version update, the options have changed to [A Great Dao Contest? Immortals Contest Crossing? What are the immortals sitting behind the scenes? ]

Lu Yan had encountered obvious changes in text before.

The first is the cyber version that was encountered twice, and the second is the immortal version that blocked the door several times.

Changes in text represent changes in things in the version. From the establishment of the sky curtain at the beginning of the cyber version to the later three hundred years of psychic tax, the changes in the version are becoming more and more dangerous.

The changes in the text of the Changsheng version are a reflection of the interference behind the Changsheng version.

Lu Yan boldly guessed that either the fairy-xia version had undergone unknown changes in the years since Lu Yan's departure, which caused the situation to change.

Or maybe the immortal behind the scenes of the Xianxia version took action and began to actively interfere with this version.

No matter which situation it is, it is not good news for Lu Yan.

Thinking of this, Lu Yan frowned and said to himself: "We can only take it one step at a time."

He glanced at the open space around him. In this version update, Lu Yan did not place items such as classics for experimentation.

In fact, it was not just this time. During the last change from the demon version to the doomsday version, Lu Yan did not place any items.

The reason last time was because Lu Yan was being hunted by the original body of the God of the Abyss, and he had no chance to get these things at all, but this time the version change without placing the classics was intentional on Lu Yan's part.

Ever since he realized that "Xuanpin Fashujing" was the source of interference in the Changsheng version, Lu Yan has become more cautious about classics with version changes.

In the urban version, those classics do not seem to have much value, but as long as someone with ulterior motives fan the flames a little, those seemingly simple text messages are enough to evolve into an unprecedented disaster.

Especially in versions where the textual information is powerful enough to carry great power, these classics contain both dangers and opportunities.

The crisis of the immortality version in Lu Yan has not been eradicated yet. In addition, the doomsday version is not a peaceful place to begin with, and it is also suffering from the crisis of version invasion.

In addition, Lu Yan had no idea what the next version would be. If the classics were left there and were polluted by some other version invasion, it would be a big trouble. So Lu Yan gave up leaving the classics with updated versions.

Looking around, Lu Yan deliberately chose a secluded place dozens of kilometers away from gathering place No. 73.

After the Xianxia version was updated, the surrounding area was also a barren mountain and wilderness. By observing the types of vegetation around him, Lu Yan was able to determine that he should still be in the Wushan Mountains, but the specific location was not very clear.

After a rough investigation, Lu Yan's sight fell on the Xuanpin Gate in front of him, which was pierced by the Human Emperor Banner.

After being suppressed by the magical weapon of Heavenly Merit, the vortex inside the Xuanpin Gate stopped rotating, all the laws and paths fell into silence, and even the portal turned into a stone door.

Lu Yan was very clear that everything before him was just an illusion. Once he took out the Human Emperor Banner, the Xuanpin Gate that was contaminated by the Immortal Version would revive again.

Although the remaining pollution in the Xuanpin Gate might not cause any trouble in the fairy-tale version, to be on the safe side, Lu Yan still let the Human Emperor Banner maintain the suppression first, and then take out the Human Emperor Banner after finding a safe solution.

However, the only hidden danger in this case is that during the period of suppressing the Xuanpin Gate, Lu Yan will not be able to use the Human Emperor Banner at will.

“But this is not a big deal. The Xianxia version is not about the end of the world with demons and crises everywhere. An ordinary foundation-building cultivation is enough to travel in the world of cultivation.

If you really encounter trouble that you can't resist, you can take out the Human Emperor Banner, but it will involve certain risks."

After calming his mind, Lu Yan reached out and grasped the Human Emperor Banner, and used his magical power to take the Human Emperor Banner and the petrified Xuanpin Gate into his body.

This process was extremely slow. Lu Yan could even feel a faint sense of truth of the Great Dao emanating from the Xuanpin Gate, trying to resist, but it was forcefully suppressed by the Human Emperor Banner.

It took Lu Yan half a day to take the Human Emperor Banner and the Mysterious Pin Gate into his body.

Heaving a sigh of relief, Lu Yan’s magical power flowed into the sky and he began to observe the surroundings.

At the end of the distant mountains, Lu Yan could vaguely see a towering and magnificent fairy city.

Recalling the map of Wushan in his mind, Lu Yan was surprised to find that this fairy city did not seem to exist in his memory. With some curiosity, Lu Yan drove the escape light to the fairy city, wanting to determine the surrounding geographical location and the changes in the fairy version in recent years.

The fairy city is not far away, only more than 100 kilometers away from where Lu Yan is. If the God of Qiongyuan can still be used, he can open two space cracks to get there quickly.

As the distance got closer, Lu Yan finally saw the entire picture of the fairy city.

The fairy city stands on the plain outside the mountains. The clouds and mist blown by the strong wind cover most of the fairy city, making the whole fairy city seem to be located in the clouds like a fairyland.

Lu Yan could feel that the concentration of spiritual energy in the surrounding area had increased significantly. The entire fairy city seemed to be located on an extremely large spiritual vein, and the spiritual vein at the core was at least level three.

In the fairy-tale version, the spiritual veins occupied by a force often represent the level of that force, which is enough to prove that there are at least multiple Jindan Zhenren behind the fairy city.

Such strength is already considered impressive in the fairy-xia version.

As they got closer to the Immortal City, the number of cultivators around began to increase. From time to time, they could see a large number of Qi-cultivating cultivators controlling flying magical instruments, and occasionally, they could even see foundation-building cultivators.

Lu Yan slowly descended at the city gate, and the third-order city defense formation covering the fairy city was faintly resisting Lu Yan's entry.

Lu Yan could sense that the powerful third-tier city defense formation was connected to the energy of the entire fairy city. The formation seemed to coexist with the heaven and earth. Once activated, it would unleash earth-shaking power.

After experiencing two versions and seeing many powerful people, the power of the third-level city defense formation that has not yet been activated is not as powerful as the siege of more than ten Jindan powerful people, and it is not enough to make Lu Yan afraid.

But the third-order formation vaguely revealed a sense of symbiosis with heaven and earth, which made Lu Yan's eyes flash with interest.

The most adept weapon of the Underworld Army in the Human Emperor Banner is undoubtedly the legion battle formation.

Six thousand six hundred ghost soldiers and generals are transformed into nodes of the formation, which can bring the power of the battle formation to the extreme.

Whether it is the Nine Nether Yin Wind and Nether Fire Array or the Ghost and God Array, they are both third-level formations mastered by the Underworld Legion. These two third-level formations are enough to kill Jindan cultivators and can be said to be incredibly powerful.

But in fact, these two third-level formations are not the orthodox formation inheritance method.

The "Mystery of Arrays" that Lu Yan mastered only recorded three second-order arrays, and there was not even any idea of ​​third-order arrays. The giant spirit could only rely on the omniscience and massive computing power to forcibly deduce it.

Without sufficient formation foundation, relying entirely on massive soul computing power to create miracles, the approach is somewhat off track.

This was the first time that Lu Yan had seen an orthodox third-level formation. The power that connected heaven and earth gave Lu Yan some new ideas.

“If we can find a third-level formation inheritance and explore the mystery of borrowing the power of heaven and earth, we will definitely be able to increase the strength of the underworld army again.

Even the army of the underworld is so numerous that their auras can be integrated with the help of the Human Emperor Banner. If they can obtain a fourth-level formation, they may be able to use the Human Emperor Banner to arrange a fourth-level formation that is strong enough to compete with the Yuanying Zhenjun."

With a goal set in mind for this fairy-tale version, Lu Yan strode towards the city gate.

There are three gates in the fairy city, one large and two small. The huge gate in the center is tightly closed and covered with formation patterns and mysterious restrictions.

On both sides of the central city gate, there were several registration desks at the right gate, and a large number of Qi-cultivating monks lined up in an orderly manner to enter and exit.

At the left city gate, there was only a solitary desk, and people coming and going were all foundation-building cultivators who were controlling the light of escape.

Lu Yan walked towards the city gate on the left, and a Qi-cultivating cultivator in green immediately came up to him from behind the registration desk at the city gate.

"This senior, is this your first time visiting our Jiuyou Immortal City?"

"Jiuyou?"

Lu Yan thought about the name and a strange look appeared in his eyes.

Seeing this, Qing Yi Lian Qi said with a smile on his face:

"Our Jiuyou Immortal City has only been established for more than a month. It is normal that you don't know the name of Jiuyou Immortal City."

When Qing Yi Lian Qi said this, Lu Yan already had some vague guesses about the origin of Jiuyou Immortal City in his heart.

"Tell me carefully."

Upon hearing this, Qing Yi Lian Qi immediately showed a proud look and said:

“Senior, you may not know that although our Jiuyou Immortal City was built not long ago, there are four genuine Jindan Zhenren behind it.

Even in the southern border area under the jurisdiction of Qingwu Sect, it is considered to be a leading force. In terms of power alone, it is not inferior to the various unconventional sects.

The Lord of our Jiuyou Immortal City is Li Hao, the Patriarch of the Li Family who founded the Wushan Market. He is already a powerful person in the middle stage of the Golden Core. "

At this point, Lu Yan was certain that the so-called Jiuyou Immortal City was the No. 73 gathering place in the apocalyptic version.

His eyes swept across the huge walls of Jiuyou Immortal City that were hundreds of feet high, and its huge size that seemed like a mountain. Lu Yan could not connect Jiuyou Immortal City with the shabby gathering place in the doomsday version.

The green-clothed Qigong practitioner who was talking in front of him did not recognize him, which reminded Lu Yan that in the apocalyptic version, although he did not deliberately conceal his appearance, he stood in the sky most of the time and commanded the army of the underworld, and almost never appeared in person in the gathering place.

Even the statues carved by the people only have a blurry face.

However, the existence of Jiuyou Immortal City is also a good thing for Lu Yan. Even though his cultivation has been reduced, the strength he showed in front of Li Hao before is still enough to intimidate Li Hao.

By then, Lu Yan can use the Jiuyou Immortal City to obtain massive resources, and the third-level city defense formation can also be easily obtained.

Just as Lu Yan was thinking about it, he heard the blue-clothed Qigong practitioner say mysteriously:
"Senior, do you know that my Nine Nether Immortal City has a backer?"

Lu Yan was stunned: "Backer?"

Qing Yi Lian Qi said confidently:
“Since you are in the southern border, you should know that there are countless monsters in the mountains of the southern border. Every few decades, monsters gather in waves to attack the surrounding areas.

More than a month ago, not long after our Jiuyou Immortal City was established, we encountered a natural disaster and beast tide that had not happened in a thousand years.

Hundreds of thousands of monsters rushed out from the mountains in southern Xinjiang, intending to attack our Jiuyou Immortal City.

At the critical moment, the army of the underworld descended from the sky and slaughtered the natural disaster beasts. Hundreds of thousands of monsters were powerless to resist the army of the underworld.

Among the monsters slaughtered by the army of the underworld, there were dozens of powerful monsters above the Jindan stage, and even more than seven Nascent Soul demon kings had fallen.

After this news came out, news of the appearance of the army of the underworld came from all directions, as well as various legends left by the mysterious underworld messenger in the world of immortal cultivation.

Some people claimed that the messenger from the underworld could not bear to see demons eat people, so he slaughtered millions of demon cities overnight and nailed the Nascent Soul Demon King to death in the mountains and sucked out his soul.

He had also set foot in several evil sects, and killed an old Nascent Soul demon with the army of the underworld in front of thousands of cultivators in the sect, causing the evil sects to lose face.

After the battle against the natural disaster and beast tide, the reputation of the underworld army spread throughout the world of immortal cultivation.

All the forces in the entire southern border were shocked. In the past month, more than a dozen Jindan forces and three Yuanying forces have come to my Jiuyou Immortal City to pay homage to the underworld. Even the Qingwu Sect will send envoys in the near future.

If you join my Nine Nether Immortal City, you will be protected by the underworld, and your status will be no less than that of a disciple of the Xuan Sect. You will even have some face in front of the ten major sects."
