He cultivated himself into a Dao Ancestor starting from Qi Refining.

Lu Jinghong murmured softly. As his memories became clearer and he filled in the gaps himself, the character of his younger brother, Lu Fenglai, became clearer and clearer in his mind.

This is the effect of "Minor Supernatural Power: People Around You". Affected by this effect, one's own memories and consciousness will change, and even additional memories that did not exist before will appear.

"It's a success."

As Lin Shaoyu felt the strong feedback from the 'Minor Divine Power: People Nearby' and sensed Lu Jinghong's current state, a smile appeared on his face.

In fact, there is only one prerequisite for activating "Minor Supernatural Power: People Around Me": "help" and "reciprocation." Because I helped you, we can become "friends."

Take Lin Shaoyu for example.

He first met Zhou Qinghe at the outer sect exchange building of Bone Refining Peak. He needed to exchange resources for outer sect contribution points, and it was Zhou Qinghe's "help" that helped Lin Shaoyu calculate the value of all the resources in his storage bag and gave Lin Shaoyu the appropriate amount of outer sect contribution points.

This means that Zhou Qinghe has already helped Lin Shaoyu once, which is a prerequisite for activating the "Minor Divine Power: People Around Me". Because I helped you, you must become my "friend".

This time, it was Lin Shaoyu who helped Lu Jinghong. Lin Shaoyu's help to Lu Jinghong was even more obvious. It was because Lin Shaoyu put a lot of pressure on Lu Jinghong that Lu Jinghong could only do his best and even went to great lengths to ask Huiye for help.

It was also because Lin Shaoyu gave up competing for the "Great Divine Power Technique: Spreading Branches and Leaves" that Lu Jinghong obtained this great divine power technique.

This is Lin Shaoyu's "help" to Lu Jinghong.

While it may seem like a distortion of the facts, the ultimate interpretation of how to define "help" to others rests in the hands of the supernatural being. If the supernatural being calls it help, then it is help.

For example, even though I killed your whole family, I was helping you sever your ties with the mortal world, so that you would no longer be troubled by it and could focus wholeheartedly on cultivating the Great Dao.

"My dear brother, you've finally arrived."

Lu Jinghong's face was already beaming with joy. With a wave of his right hand, a vortex passage leading directly into the interior of the stone mountain appeared. "Come in quickly."

"elder brother!"

Lin Shaoyu was both surprised and delighted, and quickly said, "You're really alright!"

brush!

Lin Shaoyu entered the interior of the stone mountain directly through the vortex passage, and the interior of the mountain formed a separate space, creating a cave.

"Cough cough..."

Lu Jinghong's face was extremely pale. He sat cross-legged in front of him, only briefly stabilizing his injuries. Above his head, there was an array plate with five flying swords floating around it, quietly circling. It was the "Great Divine Power Technique: Great Five Elements Sword Array".

"Tsk tsk..."

Lin Shaoyu was carefully observing Lu Jinghong at this moment.

Lu Jinghong reincarnated three times, living for hundreds of years. In total, he mastered three great supernatural arts: the Great Heavenly Secrets Technique, the Puppet Technique, and the Great Five Elements Sword Formation.

In his second reincarnation, in order to perfect his puppetry skills, he schemed against Zuo Qianyu, turning her into the strongest puppet master. After that, he was relentlessly pursued by Zuo Qingxia.

The third reincarnation.

That is, this lifetime.

Before Lu Jinghong had fully recovered his strength, Zuo Qingxia found him ahead of time and even destroyed his "Great Divine Power Life Treasure: Puppet Technique," causing Lu Jinghong to lose his greatest reliance.

Lu Jinghong had no choice but to hide because his life treasure was shattered, preventing him from practicing puppetry.

A person's energy, time, and wealth are ultimately limited.

Lu Jinghong devoted most of his time, energy, and wealth to cultivating "branching out branches and leaves".

Fortunately, Lu Jinghong mastered the "Great Divine Power Technique: Great Five Elements Sword Formation," a great divine power technique used for direct combat.

Otherwise, Lu Jinghong would probably have fallen back to being a minor supernatural being.

It was precisely because Lu Jinghong mastered the "Great Divine Power Technique: Great Five Elements Sword Formation," combined with the "Great Divine Power Life Treasure: Great Heavenly Secret Technique," and aided by Huiye, along with the accumulation of three lifetimes and the early entry into the inheritance land to obtain the inheritance, that he was able to achieve victory on Penglai Island.

But this victory was also a very tragic outcome for Lu Jinghong.

In order to persuade Huiye, Lu Jinghong had no choice but to agree to Huiye's conditions: to completely erase the "True Spirit Mark" on his "Great Divine Life Treasure: Great Heavenly Secret Technique" and then give the "Great Divine Life Treasure: Great Heavenly Secret Technique" to Huiye.

In the battle on Penglai Island, Lu Jinghong lost almost all of his puppets, his three lifetimes of accumulation were almost exhausted, and the "Divine Power True Seal" of the "Great Divine Power Technique: Great Five Elements Sword Formation" was damaged.

Fortunately, Lu Jinghong had already made arrangements in the Qingqiu Kingdom in advance, leaving behind enough resources to master the "Great Divine Power: Spreading Branches and Leaves" in a short period of time. In addition, he had been studying the "Great Divine Power: Spreading Branches and Leaves" for nearly three hundred years, which allowed him to master the "Great Divine Power: Spreading Branches and Leaves" in just under a month.

However, he was already exhausted from cultivating this great supernatural technique, and even sacrificed his potential, which resulted in him entering his weakest state even after mastering the "Great Supernatural Technique: Spreading Branches and Leaves".

All that's needed now is for the villagers of Stone Village to complete the ritual and marry the chosen village woman to Lu Jinghong, who is disguised as the mountain god of Stone Mountain. Then, the "Great Divine Power: Spreading Branches and Leaves" will be activated and exert a certain supernatural effect, pulling Lu Jinghong out of the crisis.

But Lin Shaoyu arrived at that moment.

The timing of their arrival was perfect.

At this time, although Lu Jinghong possessed the "Great Divine Power Technique: Great Five Elements Sword Formation," this technique was designed for direct combat, and being damaged, it was unable to withstand the unpredictable effects of the divine power.

Therefore, at this moment, Lin Shaoyu activated the "Minor Divine Power: People Around Me" on Lu Jinghong.

Just as Lin Shaoyu had predicted, Lu Jinghong fell for the trick and was unable to withstand the strange effects of the "Minor Supernatural Power: People Nearby," and it was impossible for him to break free in a short period of time.

The reason Lin Shaoyu chose to use someone close to him instead of attacking Lu Jinghong head-on was because Lu Jinghong still had the "Great Divine Power Technique: Great Five Elements Sword Formation" protecting him. This divine power is for direct combat. Although it cannot withstand the strange effects of the divine power when injured, it is enough to easily kill Lin Shaoyu, who has not yet mastered the Great Divine Power Technique, in a direct fight.

The "Great Divine Power Technique: Great Five Elements Sword Formation" represents the ultimate in lethality.

"elder brother."

Lin Shaoyu's eyes flickered, and he said with concern, "Your injuries are too severe right now. You shouldn't move around too much until you recover. Let me help you with the villagers' rituals."

"it is good."

Lu Jinghong nodded without thinking too much, because the person in front of him was his younger brother, his blood relative. "After the villagers send the 'goddess' up the mountain, bring her in. I must complete this wedding as soon as possible so that I can recover from my injuries."

"The wedding ceremony must be carried out in a proper manner."

"Don't worry, brother, I'll definitely get everything done for you."

Lin Shaoyu quickly replied, "With me here, there definitely won't be any surprises."

"Okay, okay."

A smile appeared on Lu Jinghong's face.
