Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 279: Battle of Yuanying

The 200,000 relay stations that Zhou Qing instructed the Nine Sects Alliance to build have been completed in batches and deployed in various parts of Western Antarctica.

Zhou Qing's surroundings are a priority area for the relay station.

Zhou Qing always made sure that there were at least twenty relay stations roaming around him at any time.

These relay stations ensure that any changes in spiritual pressure within a radius of hundreds of miles will not escape Zhou Qing's notice.

This way, he could ensure that he wouldn't suddenly find himself surrounded by a large number of Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

Therefore, Lu Pingzhenjun was noticed by him even though he was more than two hundred miles away.

Zhou Qing instructed, "You wait here, I need to go ahead and meet a friend."

Xiao Xiao and the others replied in unison, "Yes, sir."

Zhou Qing dashed forward alone, covering two hundred miles in the blink of an eye.

From afar, Zhou Qing saw Lu Ping Zhenjun waiting for him on a rock by a stream.

Today, Lu Pingzhenjun was not as aloof and dignified as he had seen in the past; on the contrary, he was much more approachable.

As Zhou Qing approached, Lu Ping Zhenjun looked at him meaningfully and said, "Zhou Qing, you were able to sense in advance that I was waiting for you, so you left your followers behind and came to meet me alone."

"Your methods are truly endless."

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "The cultivation world is a dangerous place, so we have to make more preparations."

"The True Lord awaits here; what brings you here?"

Lu Ping Zhenjun said, "Zhou Qing, don't go any further. Let's stop here."

Zhou Qing asked, "Is the True Lord providing protection for the Dongyang Sect and the Xuanmu Sect?"

Lu Pingzhenjun sneered, "What qualifications do those two sects have to ask for my protection? I'm doing this for your own good, and I don't want a genius like you to go astray."

"Oh?"

Zhou Qing laughed and said, "That's strange."

"What, you don't believe it?"

"Lu Pingzhenjun said."

Zhou Qing said, "Let's not beat around the bush. Your temple doesn't seem to have much credibility in this regard."

"Many geniuses in the history of West Antarctica have disappeared or died without cause. Could it be that your temple was involved in any of them?"

Lu Ping Zhenjun did not shy away from the matter, saying, "Some of the geniuses you mentioned were indeed executed in the Daoist temple, and I even personally took action against a few of them."

Zhou Qing hadn't expected him to be so frank, and said, "I don't understand why you're saying this, True Lord."

"Your esteemed dojo executes geniuses on one hand, and laments their loss on the other."

"This is not contradictory."

Lu Ping Zhenjun said, "Those geniuses you mentioned are all just ordinary people in the end, but you are different. You are a true genius, and among true geniuses, you are the most outstanding. Our dojo can make an exception for you."

"Don't go any further. Come back to the dojo with me, and you will know everything."

Zhou Qing stared at him intently for a while. From Lu Ping's tone and the overall characteristics of the electromagnetic signals emanating from him, Zhou Qing could deduce that what he said was true.

However, Zhou Qing did not want to follow the other party's arrangement and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but unfortunately I am not prepared to comply."

He needs to complete his schedule.

This may only have symbolic meaning, but Zhou Qing could sense that this symbolic meaning was very important to him.

The golden light emanating from his Dao heart was related to this.

The golden light is the only power he has discovered so far that can isolate those terrifying beings.

Therefore, he needs to complete his journey and see if it will enhance the golden light.

Moreover, he still needs to improve his cultivation. It would be too dangerous for him to enter the Dharma propagation center now.

Even if Lu Pingzhenjun is sincere now, he cannot be sure that the other party will not harm him.

Once he arrives at the Dharma propagation site, if anything goes wrong, it will be difficult for him to escape.

Lu Pingzhenjun said, "You have no idea what kind of disastrous consequences your current actions will bring!"

Zhou Qing laughed and said, "True Lord, why don't you tell me now? Maybe I'll change my mind after hearing it."

Lu Ping Zhenjun shook his head and said, "No, some things can only be said within the temple. In other places, even just saying them might be dangerous."

Zhou Qing squinted.

Lu Pingzhenjun's cautious attitude greatly surprised him, and he subconsciously associated it with those terrifying beings.

Perhaps only such a terrifying existence could make a Nascent Soul True Monarch feel apprehensive even at the mere mention of it.

Zhou Qing said, "If I'm not mistaken, what the True Lord was talking about should be the truth about cultivators falling into demonic possession, and some beings that are spying on our world."

Lu Pingzhenjun's expression changed drastically, and he said, "Where did you learn all this?"

He then said sternly, "I understand. You've already contacted them, haven't you?"

"Damn it, you'd better come back to the dojo with me today, or I'll have to destroy you."

Zhou Qing shook his head and said, "Why is the True Lord so terrified? Although those beings are powerful, there is no need to be so fearful."

Lu Pingzhenjun sneered, "Heh, Zhou Qing, you're finished. You've fallen into their trap. Anyone who thinks they're nothing special is destined to be taken over by them. You're beyond saving."

"I can only kill you to prevent you from becoming a scourge to this world."

Zhou Qing frowned and said, "If True Lord wants to take action, I am ready to accompany you at any time, but could you please explain their background first?"

Lu Ping stood up from the rock, his approachable demeanor quickly disappearing, replaced by his previous cold and arrogant majesty.

“Zhou Qing, I’ve already broken a taboo by saying so much to you.”

Lu Ping Zhenjun said, "I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it."

After saying that, an overwhelming aura suddenly erupted from him.

Zhou Qing saw a huge phantom appear behind Lu Ping Zhenjun, and this phantom was several feet tall.

It dawned on him.

No wonder, from the perspective of the Heavenly Net, Lu Ping Zhenjun's spiritual pressure appeared as a figure several meters tall.

The illusory figure stood indifferently behind Lu Ping Zhenjun, his hands forming a hand seal, like a deity.

Zhou Qing became wary, but not afraid, and asked curiously, "Is this the Dharma form of a Nascent Soul True Monarch?"

The Golden Elixir breaks through and the Nascent Soul emerges.

Initially, the nascent soul could not separate from the body, but it could already influence the weather and form such a Dharma image around the cultivator.

The Dharma form possesses the power to command the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, enabling cultivators to break free from the limitations of their own spiritual energy and receive the blessing of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

In other words, below the Nascent Soul stage, cultivators use the spiritual energy within their own bodies to fight enemies.

Nascent Soul cultivators, on the other hand, are blessed by the power of heaven and earth.

This kind of blessing is the true foundation of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Lu Ping Zhenjun understood that he could not defeat Zhou Qing without revealing his Dharma form.

Therefore, he treated Zhou Qing as an equal from the beginning and dealt with Zhou Qing in his strongest state.

A sense of nervousness crossed Zhou Qing's mind, but he was mostly excited.

This was the first Nascent Soul cultivator he had dealt with alone.
