I Am Evergreen In the World of Cultivating Immortals Chapter 387

Chapter 387: Demon Rebellion, Level 4 Soul Transformation

Lu Changan, who was practicing in seclusion, noticed that Xuan Shuigui's promotion was within his expectations.

Absorbing a large amount of innate turbidity from the decay of Xuantian's relics, the Xuan Shui Turtle's bloodline transformed, at least comparable to the heavenly grade. Although it is a third-level black turtle, its lifespan is not much lower than that of Lu Changan.

 The lifespan of ordinary monster species is similar to that of humans. But those legendary species, such as the true spirit dragon and phoenix, and the unicorn and black turtle, have extremely long lifespans. The corresponding descendants of the true spirit bloodline, species above the earth level, have longevity far beyond that of ordinary monsters.

“This fourth-level blood dragon fruit is a rare body-refining holy fruit in the world of immortality. Even if it cannot advance me to the fourth-level body-refining, it can still increase my physical strength.”

Lu Changan took out a jade box and unlocked a dragon-scale blood-colored fruit sealed inside. Its value was close to the Tianying Fruit.

 The huge blood energy of heaven and earth surged in the secret room.

Three years ago during the Nascent Soul Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, Lu Changan's refining body had been somewhat baptized by the Heavenly Thunder.

 At that time, his body-refining bottleneck was faintly loosened, but he lost this feeling after overcoming the tribulation.

This fourth-level blood dragon fruit was the dividend compensation given by Jing Wufeng after he came out of the Ancient You Palace.

 Lu Changan originally planned to collect more precious body refining materials in the future to refine a breakthrough body refining holy elixir.

However, the current era in the world of immortality is not suitable for physical cultivation. The body-refining treasure materials of level 4 and above are almost extinct, and it is far from being possible to collect the materials.

Even if you refine a fourth-level body-refining holy elixir that is a breakthrough, there is no guarantee that you will be promoted to the fourth level.

 In addition to qualifications and opportunities, there are also constraints from the world and the environment.

 In recent times, fifth-level body refining has been unheard of, and fourth-level body refining may be the limit of the human world. Therefore, promotion is far more difficult than getting married.

Lu Changan simply took it immediately. Even if the chance of promotion was very low, he could still improve his physical training strength.

 A few days later.

Lu Changan failed to advance to the fourth level through body training.

However, the physical strength, energy and blood have increased significantly by several percent, and the bottleneck has been loosened, making it a quasi-fourth-level body refining level.

The impact of physical training was just an episode during Lu Changan's retreat.

 Most of his energy is used to improve magical powers and secret arts.

 With the insights of the fourth life of the Nascent Soul and the memories and experiences of many Nascent Souls, Lu Changan practiced certain similar magical powers and secrets, and it was easy to understand by analogy.

  For example, "Phantom Wood Clone" is very consistent with the attributes of Evergreen Gong. The memories of the three Nascent Souls were that they had all practiced similar physical skills.

Lu Changan practiced "Huanmu Clone" in this life and easily achieved a small success.

 Essentially speaking, in addition to maintaining his original intention, Lu Changan is equivalent to the reincarnation of the Yuanying old monster and rebuilding, not the fusion of residual souls and half-hearted rebuilding like Hu Ang.

 During the retreat, another three years passed.

 On this day, Yunxia Sect gave birth to a late-stage Dan-Jie, named Caiyue Zhenren.

Compared to when Lu Changan first came to Yunxia Sect, the sect's luck was much stronger and the sect was in a prosperous situation.

 The sect has been replaced by new ones and old ones, and capable people have emerged in large numbers. From top to bottom, everything is clearly beyond the era when True Lord Yunlan was in power.

Some monks in the sect privately discussed that Zixia Zhenjun was better at managing the sect than his senior brother Yun Lan.

 The newly promoted Caiyue Zhenren held a small celebration.

 Xiao Qingshan sent a congratulatory gift to Lu Changan. After all, Master Caiyue gave a generous gift during the Nascent Soul Ceremony.

“In the past six months, the General Affairs Office has added two new tasks to exterminate demons, which is very strange.”

"Not only our Yunxia Sect, but also some demonized monsters have appeared sporadically in various major forces in the Dayu Kingdom. Fortunately, most of them are below the third level and are not harmful."

"With such abnormal signs, could it be that the disaster of demonic chaos is about to sweep through the Central Region again?"

 At the Xiaoqing party, the monks of the sect talked loudly, among which the signs of the demon's resurgence was a hot topic.

 For Xiao Qingshan, the chaos of demons is unfamiliar. When the last demon disaster occurred, his mother was not even born.

 Several high-level sects present here have been paying attention to this for a long time.

 It's just that the current small number of middle and low-level monsters is not enough for them to take action personally.

Xuefeng Sect Master whispered: "The signs of the demon's resurgence this time are much earlier than before. According to the predictions of the divination master, the demon chaos will break out on a large scale within ten years at the latest, and the Central Region will bear the brunt."

Master Caiyue sighed quietly: "The demon disaster has little impact on the top level of the world of immortality, but I don't know how many ordinary monks will die."

 After Xiaoqing, Xiao Qingshan returned to Yunlan Peak and compiled and recorded the recent outside information in jade slips for Xiang Zhenjun to check after he left the customs.

  Signs of demon disasters have no effect on Lord Diyan.

 Since Xuan Shui Turtle was promoted to the late third level, it has also begun to practice diligently in the past few years.

At the same time, he did not forget to supervise Hu Ang's every move.

Recently, a blue-armored puppet with the same mission sat cross-legged in the underground palace, entering a state of tranquility that seemed to be half asleep, completely forgetting the outside world.

 The master and the green-armored puppet are both in seclusion, so Mr. Diyan has no choice but to shoulder the heavy burden.

Lu Changan is not closed off about life and death, and his spiritual consciousness occasionally checks the situation outside.

“If the demon rebellion breaks out within ten years, it will be a good opportunity.”

 Lu Changan murmured.

He thought about the monsters he encountered during his travels. Although they were controlled by ghost cultivators, it was not accidental.

Over the turmoil of the demon, some residual monsters, or the magical power, scattered in all corners of the middle of Daluan.

 The demon disaster in the Central Region is said to have a certain connection with the Ancient Nether Palace.

 Normally speaking, the demonic turmoil occurred around a century ago in the Ancient Nether Palace.

 But the ancient Youdian Temple last time was also extraordinary, with a large number of participants and more opportunities for treasures than before.

Five years later.

The number of demons in the Central Territory of the Great Abyss has increased significantly, and third-level demons occasionally appear, bringing destruction to various places in the world of immortality.

 In the forbidden area of ​​​​the Central Territory, demonic energy surged, and many monsters with confused intelligence rushed out in advance.

One-third of Yunxia Sect's sect tasks are related to the extermination of demons.

This year, Lu Changan finally ended his ten-year retreat.

 After ten years of hard training, Lu Changan's magic power has improved slightly, but his magical power has improved significantly.

With ten years of limited time, Lu Changan majored in the highly lethal "Destroying Divine Light", supplemented by several other magical powers and secrets that Yi learned.

The reason why I majored in "Withering Divine Light" is because it is compatible with the wood-based exercises, especially the Evergreen Technique, which is also very lethal to living creatures.

 The characteristic of "Withering Divine Light" is to stifle vitality, which is extremely harmful to flesh and blood creatures, animals and plants.

It is said that the land hit by the "Destroying Divine Light" will not grow any grass within a hundred years.

If it hits a monk, the life essence will be greatly withered.

Taking the example of Lu Changan's "Withering Divine Light" which he had mastered in the Nascent Soul stage to a small degree, if an ordinary alchemy monk is hit from the front, he will turn into a pile of withered bones in an instant.

Even if the Nascent Soul cultivator is exposed to the body, the essence, blood and vitality will be lost, which will reduce the temporary fighting strength.

If the "Destroying Divine Light" is cultivated to a great level, it usually takes the middle and late stages of Nascent Soul to achieve it. Its power is even higher. If it is slightly touched during a fight, it can damage the target's lifespan.

To practice this magical power, Lu Changan consumed a lot of blood and energy. In order to speed up the progress, he also lost three years of his life.

This is even when he has reached the fourth level of body refining. If his quality of essence, blood, and vitality were replaced by an ordinary Nascent Soul in the early stage, he would probably lose ten years of his life.

If you consume the essence, blood and life span at all costs during the fight, the power of "Destroying Divine Light" can be increased to another level, which will pose a great threat to monks below the middle stage of Nascent Soul.

 With this magical power, Lu Changan has been greatly strengthened in terms of attack.

Of course, there is no perfect magical power in the world.

 "Destroying Divine Light" also has limitations.

 First, this magical power can penetrate the spiritual light of the magic shield, but it is easily blocked by defensive magic weapons, especially heavy magic weapons and metallic magic weapons.

 After all, "Destroying Divine Light" belongs to the wood-type magical power, and it also has attribute restraints.

 Secondly, its lethality against non-living things is very weak, such as dead puppets.

Like puppets and zombies, they are not living things, so they are not very afraid of "Destroying Divine Light".

However, as a puppet master, Lu Changan has many puppets and is not afraid of being restrained by such means.

 In addition to these two limitations, there are also things that most magical powers have in common.

  No matter how powerful the magical power is, it must be hit to be effective.

If the target is extremely fast or has a higher level, if it is blocked and resolved, the "Destroying Divine Light" will not be able to touch the enemy's body. Even if the effect is incredible, it will be in vain.

Lu Changan is not worried about this. He has many means to help him. Puppet, spiritual pets, treasure talismans, and magic weapons can all involve and suppress the enemy. On this basis, activating "Destroying Divine Light" will be even more powerful!

In addition to magical powers and secret techniques, Lu Changan also found time to refine and improve the quality of his main magic weapons and smelt precious materials. [Dragon Wood Staff] Smelts dragon bones and purifies dragon blood, and its power quality is improved.

 [Nailhead Arrows] are also valuable materials that have been incorporated into the past reserves, such as the fourth-level mid-grade [Purple Nether Ore], which is also a dividend from the Ancient Nether Palace.

This mine is an extremely rare soul treasure material that can increase the quality of [Nail Arrows] and the lethality of the soul.

When I was building the Peacock, I was reluctant to use [Purple Nether Ore], but only used two other fourth-level mid-grade materials.

The main material of the shaft of [Nailhead Arrow] is the precious soul-nurturing wood in the world of immortality. After being cultivated by Lu Changan for hundreds of years, its spiritual quality also exceeds the ordinary fourth-level mid-grade spiritual wood.

This kind of precious spiritual wood in the world of immortality, if the environment of heaven and earth allows it, can theoretically grow infinitely to the fifth level, sixth level, or even higher.

Just like a monk's natal magic weapon, as long as the cultivation level continues to improve and the materials are smelted, sacrificed and refined, theoretically it can be infinitely improved to create an immortal treasure.

“After ten years of seclusion, I have reached the age of 391, and there are only ten years left before Jing Wufeng's appointment as a demon.”

 Lu Changan calculated the time.

At that time, I owed Jing Wufeng a promise to help him seal a dangerous place in the forbidden area of ​​​​the Central Territory where the demonic energy leaked within a period of time.

Without Jing Wufeng's help, he would not have been able to kill Shi Xinlong in the past, and Lord Diyan might not have been able to be promoted to the fourth level Demon King.

 Now that the demonic energy is pouring out in the forbidden area of ​​​​the Central Territory, I don't know if it will have an impact on the agreement at that time.

Not long after leaving the customs, Fairy Zixia visited Yunlan Peak in person to exchange information on what had happened in the past ten years.

 Among them, there is news about Jing Wufeng.

Jiang Ziyan said: "Three years ago, Mr. Jing Tianzhen appeared in the Central Territory, attracting the attention of many Yuanying old monsters."

“In a battle two years ago, Lord Jing Tianzhen was undefeated against a giant in the middle stage of Yuanying, and he took advantage of the chaos to kill an early stage Yuanying, and even the spirit body of Yuanying did not escape..."

 When mentioning this matter, Jiang Ziyan's starry eyes showed fear.

Jing Tianzhen's magical power breaks the convention that ordinary Nascent Soul Lords are difficult to perish.

Lu Changan was also envious after hearing this.

 Jing Wufeng possesses special spatial powers, which may be able to limit the escape of the Nascent Soul spirit body.

Lu Changan happens to lack such magical powers or special magic weapons.

If he wants to kill the Nascent Soul in its early stage, he must resort to destructive means to kill the target Nascent Soul first, making it impossible for him to escape smoothly.

“Dalong thinks, does Jing Tianzhen really possess the false spiritual treasure? Otherwise, how could it cause such a big commotion?”

Fairy Zixia probed intentionally or unintentionally.

Even though Mr. Jing Tianzhen has only been to Yunxia Sect once, she always feels that the relationship between the former and Xiang Dalong is not simple.

"not sure."

Lu Changan shook his head and did not express his true thoughts.

 He felt that there was "Zhen Shui Zhenjun" behind this matter.

Other Yuanying old monsters are targeting Jing Wufeng, either because of their grudges against the Ancient Nether Palace, or because of their greed for opportunities such as fake spiritual treasures.

Zhenjun Mingshui had some misunderstandings about Jing Wufeng and was concerned about the huge benefits related to Tinghai Pavilion.

"This Lord Jing Tianzhen should be a lucky person. He became the focus of the Central Realm as soon as he appeared."

 “Well, I can develop so comfortably because of Daoist friend Jing's ability to attract firepower.”

Lu Changan silently gave a thumbs up.

 Two days later, Fairy Zixia left Yunlan Peak.

Lu Changan suddenly thought of a possibility, checking the letters received in the past ten years.

 The appointment to seal the demon is approaching. Jing Wufeng should take the initiative to contact him when he returns to the Central Territory.

Not long after, Lu Changan's spiritual consciousness found a special third-order jade shell among many letters. It seemed to be a congratulatory gift, but there were restrictions on it that were familiar to Lu Changan.

Lu Changan broke the ban on jade shells according to the method agreed in the past.

Hum!

A blue water light curtain rises on the surface of the jade shell, and the free and unrestrained figure of Jing Tianzhen appears on it.

“Congratulations to fellow Taoist Xiang for being among the Nascent Souls. In the future, my confidence in sealing demons will be improved by a few percent.”

Jing Tianzhen stood with his hands behind his hands and spoke to himself.

“The impending demonic turmoil in the central region is not a bad thing for our agreed plan. This will help find the key nodes where the demonic energy leaks and repair the seal.”

“Jing returned to the Central Territory of the Great Abyss. He was planning to contact Daoist Xiang as soon as possible, but he was targeted by a group of troublesome guys. In addition to the old monster Jin Kun, there was also the inexplicable wife of Zhenjun Mingshui..."

Jing Wufeng explained the objective conditions that made it inconvenient to meet, so as to avoid involving Lu Changan and the Yunxia Sect.

 Hearing this, Lu Changan recognized Jing Wufeng's character, and he might be able to become a trustworthy friend like Lao Zhang in the future.

“Jing Mou first went to the forbidden area of ​​​​the Central Territory to look for important gaps where the demonic energy leaked. In that chaotic place where the demonic energy is raging, it will help get rid of those troubles.”

“When the demon turmoil comes to an end, Daoist Xiang will go with Jing to the forbidden area of ​​​​the Central Territory to complete the agreement of the year to seal the demon.”

At this point, Jing Wufeng's figure dimmed, and at the last moment when he was about to disappear, he added:

"By the way, there is a fourth-order void whale in the coastal waters of the Eastern Territory. It has a thin true spirit bloodline. This whale possesses the power of space. It is said that it has a large collection of space treasures that Jing cannot take. If Xiang Zhenjun is interested, he can tell you in the future You can hunt together and go to the sea.”

Hearing this unintentional news, Lu Changan's head suddenly moved.

He remembered that Jing Wufeng was proficient in space formations and had once deployed a fourth-order illusionary sky formation to hunt down the demonic Stone Heart Dragon. This person is at least a quasi-level 4 formation master.

Lu Changan also lacks space treasure materials to repair the space teleportation array left behind by Tinghai Pavilion.

Cha Hai Zhenjun is a fourth-level formation mage. Unfortunately, the Nascent Soul that devoured this person only lit up one-tenth of the fifth life, which was not enough to transform into a reincarnation experience.

 Otherwise, Lu Changan could directly become a fourth-level formation master instead of a third-level formation master.

Fortunately, Master Chahai has a general plan for restoration, but he mainly lacks space materials.

If you get space treasure materials in the future, please consult Jing Wufeng, and you may be able to more smoothly repair the space formations left by Tinghai Pavilion.

After Lu Changan came out of seclusion, the first place he visited was the Underground Palace Dojo.

　　Not to visit Lord Diyan, nor to the Xuan Shui Turtle who has advanced to the late third level.

Lu Changan stepped under the underground palace and entered a restricted and isolated room.

 “Friend Lu Dao, you are here.”

The green-armored puppet, who had been sitting cross-legged and meditating for several years, slowly opened his eyes. The green flames in his eyes were less ghostly and gloomy, and more radiant with wisdom.

Lu Changan looked into the eyes of the puppet, and the spiritual pressure of the Nascent Soul Master was emitted from his body, and the latter actually exuded a similar spiritual pressure momentum, without any inferiority.

Lu Changan looked overjoyed, and his figure blurred and disappeared from the place.

 Hush!

 In an instant, the nearly fourth-level physique was blessed with huge strength, and the expanded golden palms struck the blue-armored puppet like thunder.

The green-armored puppet lightly raised his green iron palm to resist the huge force that destroyed the mountain.

 His body was sitting on the same spot without any swaying.

There was even a soft force that pushed Lu Changan away, preventing him from being subjected to the powerful counterattack.

“Not bad! This kind of control is worthy of being a true fourth-level puppet.”

Lu Changan looked up and down and found that the body of the blue-armored puppet had not changed at all. It was a fourth-level puppet with complete quality.

 The real change lies in the puppet spirit.

Today's blue-armored puppets, whose spirits exude spiritual power similar to that of Nascent Soul monks, have far greater control over their body's power than in the past, and can handle highly complex and high-speed battles on their own.

　　However, this puppet is not a real living being.

 The puppet spirit has an existence similar to the divine soul, but it is not the same as the divine soul or the Nascent Soul.

 Lu Changan couldn't help but think of the artificial intelligence before time travel, and the puppets were like an alternative existence in a higher form.

The puppet clone unique to the spirit possessed in the previous life has more prominent advantages, allowing him to go out on missions independently or act separately without having to bear the consumption of spiritual consciousness.

“With Lao Wei's current strength, can he stand up to a Nascent Soul cultivator on his own?”

“If it's the Yunxia Sect's female Nascent Soul, Wei is more confident.”

 Wei Puppet Master said calmly.

“It wouldn't be difficult if Fellow Daoist Lu gives some fourth-level treasure materials and lets Wei strengthen the puppet's weapons and armor to compete with the veteran Nascent Soul in its early stages.”

Master Wei did not know that Fairy Zixia had obtained the best magic weapon [Wind and Cloud Fan], and coupled with her peak cultivation in the early stage of Nascent Soul, her strength was not what it used to be.

"Okay! It's really the right time and the right place! Ben Zhenjun's plan to settle accounts can be implemented with confidence."

Lu Changan chuckled lightly, with a stern look in his eyes.
