Chapter 332 Space Node

Above the Jiugang Sky, Lu Changan's consciousness at the peak of his early Nascent Soul stage scanned the surroundings and found no third party within the range of his senses.

This place is at least several hundred miles away from the deep mountains and valleys before.

 The two men of Zhenjun Chahai did not pursue them together for some reasons.

Zhizhi!

The Earth Rock Rat cleaned up the battlefield, collected the spoils of war, and took the storage bracelet of True Lord Chahai in his mouth.

In the world of cultivating immortals, the storage bags of most cultivators are not real space props, but are made from low-level pseudo-space materials and special restricted refining tools.

 The principle is equivalent to compressing the volume of several water tanks or houses into the size of a small cloth bag.

At the same time, it must be accompanied by weight loss restrictions, otherwise people will have a hole in their feet when walking on the ground.

Cha Hai Zhenjun’s storage bracelet and the storage ring obtained from Master Lihuo are both real space props, made from space treasure materials and high-level prohibitions.

Lu Changan inspected the space bracelet and found that its shell was made of hard material and had strong defensive restrictions.

However, after the battle just now, the restrictions on the surface of the storage bracelet are relatively weak. Lu Changan teamed up with the fourth-level puppet to break it easily.

 “Tinghaige Yuanying, so poor?”

Lu Changan's spiritual consciousness scanned it briefly and found that the highest-grade magic weapon among them was only a high-grade magic weapon.

 There are only tens of thousands of spiritual stones stored in it, and there is no time to count the other materials and elixirs for the time being.

 His worth is actually not as good as Master Lihuo.

 Obviously does not match the net worth of Yuanying Zhenjun who came from Dayuan.

Lu Changan was surprised, and he didn’t know the reason until later.

There are still beginnings and ends to be dealt with here, and Lu Changan has no time to carefully study the harvest, including the specific changes in the fifth generation of the Nine Seal Monument.

He put away his puppets and pets, concealed his magic aura, descended from the Jiugang sky, and landed again on the ground of the Black Mist Mountains.

 …

 Flying hundreds of miles.

Lu Changan quietly approached the deep mountain valley where True Lord Chahai had been.

At the entrance of the cave in the valley, two people, a beauty in a feather skirt and a dark-skinned middle-aged man, were in the middle stage of alchemy formation. They both had injuries on their bodies and were sitting cross-legged to regulate their breathing.

Not long ago, the two of them cleaned up the battlefield and determined that the five core-forming killers of Wujian Sect were dead, including the Ashes Helmsman of Wujian Sect.

As for the Jueying helmsman who was seriously injured and escaped, the two of them could not keep him and did not dare to pursue him.

 They have to leave one person to detain Xing Peng.

Without Zhenjun's instructions, the two of them did not dare to act hastily and stayed where they were.

“When the great elder comes back, the killer of the late stage Danjie who escaped after being seriously injured will not be able to escape from the palm of his hand.”

"Hmm? Zhenjun ended the battle? It was quite fast."

At this time, the two of them looked up at Jiugangtian, which was hundreds of miles away. The faint aura of Nascent Soul-level fighting skills that had been faintly transmitted before had disappeared.

 The two of them had relaxed expressions and were very confident in Lord Chahai.

 At the ancient battlefield of the Great Abyss, the great elder was hunted down by the mid-stage Nascent Soul, but he escaped with his life.

Although his cultivation level later dropped to the Core Formation stage, he was able to travel through the space nodes in the forbidden areas of the Central Region and reach Daqing.

at this time.

  A wave of Nascent Soul-level spiritual pressure is approaching.

 The young man in blue robe and big ears who left before returned to the valley.

 “Great Elder!”

 “Congratulations to the true king, you have won the victory.”

The beauty in the feather skirt and the dark-skinned middle-aged man greeted each other respectfully.

“Well, is Xing Peng still there?”

The young man in blue robe and big ears came to the two of them from a high position.

“True Lord, don’t worry. That kid’s cultivation has been ruined and he’s so injured that he won’t be able to escape.”

 A report by a dark-skinned middle-aged man with a smile.

 Suddenly, the eyes of the "True Lord Chahai" in front of him turned cold, and only an afterimage remained on the spot.

 Click!

The dark-skinned middle-aged man tilted his neck, and his Tianling Gai was grabbed by a huge hand.

"Great Elder, what are you..."

The beauty in the feather skirt next to her lost color and her legs trembled.

Is it possible that after the true king Chahai accomplished his mission, he would kill the donkey and kill the two of them?

 Poof!

 A claw light passed by, and the beauty in the feather skirt froze.

An earthy yellow halo emerged, and a rat demon appeared on the ground. One claw pierced the belly of the beauty in the feather skirt and penetrated the slim and beautiful body.

"Zhenjun Chahai...killed fellow disciples...you are so cruel..."

The beauty in the feather skirt stretched out her blood-stained arms, her face was miserable, and she collapsed to the ground.

 In an instant, two of Tinghai Pavilion’s mid-level Dan-forming members died.

The two of them never expected that the "True Lord Chahai" in front of them was not the original owner. He was being approached by a late third-level body-refining expert and a monster, and was unable to fight back.

 After a moment, Lu Changan withdrew his palm from the dark-skinned middle-aged Tianling Gai, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Through the soul search of the dark-skinned middle-aged man, Lu Changan learned the identities and origins of Zhenjun Chahai and the three people, and the reason why they traveled from Great Abyss to Daqing.

 As Lu Changan had previously speculated, Tinghai Pavilion had long been in decline and could not even survive in the Great Abyss, and was hunted down and suppressed.

Having no choice but to do so, Zhenjun Chahai and others escaped to Daqing through the space nodes left by their ancestors.

Zhenjun Chahai is the contemporary successor of Tinghai Pavilion.

Among the "remnants" of Tinghai Pavilion, he is the only one who has been promoted to the Nascent Soul stage in the past few thousand years and has become a fourth-level formation mage.

In order to repair the formation channel at the space node and gather materials, Zhenjun Chahai resorted to selling iron, so he was very poor.

Even so, the space node passage through Daqing has not been completely repaired. The passage is not stable and can only accommodate monks below the Nascent Soul stage.

This is also why the True Monarch of Chahai that Lu Changan met was not in the complete Nascent Soul stage, and his magic power was less than 70% of that in his heyday.

“The ancient sect that once gave birth to the God-Transforming Heavenly King has fallen to this level…”

Lu Changan sighed secretly, and at the same time, a warning bell sounded in his heart.

 The destruction of Tinghai Pavilion is obviously inseparable from the "Xuantian Gourd Vine".

Of course, the era of its destruction was not the period when Tinghai Pavilion was at its peak and the God-Transforming Heavenly Lord existed, but in the later eras.

At that time, there were still Yuanying great monks stationed in Tinghai Pavilion, but they could not save Xuantian Gourd Vine, so they finally chose to escape. The shelter established in Daqing was just one of them.

Lingmai Mountain Gate, where Tinghai Pavilion was located, was located near the coast of Yuanzhou Continent and was the dominant force in the offshore area.

After its demise, the affiliated Yuanying Sect in the Linhai area divided up the legacy and territory left by Tinghai Pavilion, which became the Linhai Sixteenth Sect along the coast of Yuanzhou mainland today, also known as the "Zhenhai Sixteenth Sect".

 As the name suggests, deterrence and suppression in the coastal area are far opposite to overseas forces.

 The strength of the "Sixteen Zhenhai Sects" is even stronger than Daqing's six Demonic Sects and Ten Xuanmen Sects combined.

This alliance of forces shocks the coast and enjoys rich resources. At the same time, Yuanying is in the late stage and ranks as one of the three great monks of Dayuan.

His reputation is not limited to Dayuan, but has even spread to other states in Tianheng Continent.

 …

Lu Changan asked the rock rats to clean up the battlefield and let loose near the valley.

 He restored his original image and entered the valley cave alone.

 “Thank you for your help, sir. I will die with no regrets...”

Xing Peng was lying in a cage with bruises all over his body, his limbs were twisted, and his voice was thin and weak. It was obvious that he had been tortured inhumanely.

Due to the existence of the Gu God's Restriction, Tinghai Pavilion monks cannot forcibly search souls, but it does not hinder the execution.

Lu Changan's consciousness swept away and he found that most of Xing Peng's cultivation had been destroyed, and only incomplete elixir power was left in his body. Even if he could survive, he would not live for a few years.

Lu Changan's eyes filled with pity, he lifted the ban on the Gu God, searched Xing Peng's soul, and obtained his previous memories.

 Under severe torture, Xing Peng failed to keep his mouth shut and leaked some information related to Lu Changan.

  The secrets that Xing Peng considers to be core, such as the Qinglong Club, Lu Changan's true means of strength, and private network, have not been betrayed.

Even the relationship between his eldest cousin has not been leaked to gain a chance for himself.

 But the information about Lu Changan helping Xing Peng transform the elixir was tricked out by Zhenjun Chahai. This was the only mistake and was close to Lu Changan's secret.

 Fortunately, Lu Changan's test back then to help him transform the elixir was through the indirect method of "spiritual elixir" and did not reveal the secret of evergreen.

 “What is your last wish?”

Lu Changan looked calm and did not blame Xing Peng for leaking the secret by mistake.

 Not every monk is determined and unyielding.

 Few people can truly endure the torture.

 Strictly speaking, Xing Peng and Zhou Qingxuan were both implicated by Lu Changan.

 When he went to Zhou's house for an unannounced visit, Lu Changan's powerful spiritual senses naturally detected it in advance.

 It's just Tinghai Pavilion's secret technique, which is superior.

In order to protect the Zhou family, Lu Changan coldly refused Zhou Qingxuan's plea and refused to show up in person.

 Fortunately, we didn't let the puppet clone go over at that time, otherwise more secrets may be exposed, including the Qinglong Society and so on.

"Hui Lu Zhenren. I have become a useless person and have no love in my life. I hope you can rescue cousin Jueying and don't involve him in today's incident."

Xing Peng’s voice was harsh and weak as he begged.

Lu Changan looked surprised. He didn't expect that Xing Peng would still have some conscience before his deadline.

His eldest cousin almost risked his own life in order to rescue him.

Lu Changan calculated with his fingers and determined that the Jueying Helmsman fled for his life at that time and did not see the confrontation between himself and True Lord Chahai.

 The range of spiritual consciousness in the Dan Formation stage is not that far.

“I agree to your request.”

Lu Changan nodded, making up for his involvement in Xing Peng.

This person has been providing him with information and handling shady matters for hundreds of years. He is diligent and has achieved great results through his hard work.

 “Thank you, Mr. Lu.”

Xing Peng showed a pleased smile and knelt down to worship.

 Then, he stretched out his palm and slapped the Tianling Cap. There was a "bang" sound, and he died on the spot.

Lu Changan did not stop him. The immortal cultivator whose magic power was abolished would be more miserable than death.

Rather than survive, he was tracked down by Wu Jian Sect’s senior officials and Lu Changan was implicated.

Xing Peng kept silent and kept the last secret, which was a very smart choice.

 He used this method to exchange Lu Changan for a promise.

 Lu Changan cleaned up the scene, including the aura of the remnant soul on Xing Peng’s body, to eliminate any traceback methods.

 On the other side, the rock rat handed over the loot in the valley and destroyed any suspicious objects among them.

Lu Changan took a general glance and found that the two alchemy monks in Tinghai Pavilion were also very poor. They only had basic magic weapons and not many elixirs and spirit stones.

After all, he is a monk who is on the run and wants to "finance" Lord Chahai to repair the space node passage.

As for the several alchemy cultivators from the Wujian Sect, it is naturally impossible for them to take all their wealth with them when they act as killers.

However, if the number is large, the accumulation of harvest is amazing.

Those magic weapons alone are worth a lot of money.

 As a refiner, you can recycle them into high-quality materials, which can be used to build puppets and refine magic weapons.

 …

 Half an hour later.

Lu Changan tracked the traces of the Jueying Helmsman on the outskirts of the Black Mist Mountains.

In a dry sand cave, a man in a cloak and black robe is buried. His face is wearing a special mask and the outline is blurred.

Lu Changan's consciousness swept over and found that the Jueying Helmsman was seriously injured and unconscious.

Several second-level monsters were wandering around, seeming to be wary of each other's presence, and were approaching tentatively.    A gust of breeze passed by.

Beside the Jueying helmsman, a traveling Taoist priest wearing a bamboo hat appeared.

 Ouch!

Several nearby monsters that were approaching were frightened and fled away, but they only managed to escape for a few miles before their spirits collapsed and died.

“The injury was severe and the backlash from the secret surgery. If not treated in time, it may cause damage to the foundation.”

Lu Changan took out a third-grade high-quality healing medicine from the trophies of True Lord Chahai and gave it to Captain Jueying to take.

 During this period, Lu Changan glanced at this person several times.

 “Hey! He does have some luck.”

Lu Changan couldn't help but make some calculations and analysis, and discovered that the Jueying Helmsman had an extraordinary destiny, and was currently the Nascent Soul Seed that the top level of Wujian Sect was paying attention to.

 Save this person, and he may be a big problem for the Wei Dao Alliance in the future.

 Lu Changan suddenly had the idea to kill this new star of the demonic path, so that there would be one less unparalleled demon in the future.

 Then, those who are lucky will not die easily.

Lu Changan then deduced that the death of this person would inevitably attract great attention and investigation from the top level of Wujian Sect.

Even, it is not ruled out that it may alarm the unpredictable Wujie Sect Master!

That kind of situation will bring unnecessary risks to Lu Changan, which will be harmful rather than beneficial.

 Furthermore, the promise made to Xing Peng before his death will be broken.

"That's all! There are no eternal camps in the world of immortality."

Lu Changan sighed secretly, and with a thought, he let Captain Jueying go.

Before this person woke up, Lu Changan tried to search his soul and found the core memory in his sea of ​​consciousness, which was blocked by a ban.

 The recent memory can be checked, and there is nothing wrong with it.

 Lu Changan has just finished searching for souls.

Jueying Helmsman struggled to open his eyes, revealing pupils as dark as night.

 In the field of vision, a traveling Taoist man came into view, carrying a suitcase and cage on his back, covered in dust.

The aura of mana on that Taoist's body was so profound that it was impossible to tell the depth.

 “Senior’s life-saving grace, Jueying is deeply grateful...”

Jueying Helmsman noticed that the healing medicine had been dissolved in his body, and his injuries were repairing quickly.

"It wasn't Pindao who saved you..."

The Taoist traveler paused for a moment, then carried the box and cage on his back, leaving behind a mysterious figure, and went into the distance with the wind.

 “What do you call your senior?”

 “I am a poor Taoist, Tianji Taoist, we will meet again if we are destined.”

 The old voice came, and the Taoist's back disappeared into the faint mist of the black mist mountains.

 “Taoist Tianji!”

Jueying Helmsman was in awe, as soon as he heard this title, he knew he was a peerless expert.

　　For many years to come, even if he became the boss of the Demon Sect, Captain Jueying would always remember the name of the mysterious Taoist. Without the help of the other party, he would have died tragically in the Black Mist Mountains.

 …

Lu Changan stopped staying and flew away from the Black Mist Mountains.

He originally wanted to pretend to be Taoist Tianshu to confuse the public.

But it suddenly occurred to me that Taoist Tianshu seemed to be able to calculate, and he was worried about being sensed, so he changed his name.

 Leaving a name is also beneficial.

In the future, there is something to do with Lu Changan. You need to use Magic Master, maybe he can come in handy.

 A hundred years later, the entire area of ​​the Guardian Alliance will be occupied by demons, so the possibility is not low.

 Lu Changan did this to leave a way out for the future.

 Leaving the Black Mist Mountains and passing by the Zhou Family of the Royal Beast, Lu Changan still did not stop.

 Recently, the situation of the Zhou family has attracted the attention of all major forces in the Liang Kingdom, and even attracted people from the Wei Dao Alliance to investigate.

Lu Changan plans to compensate the Zhou family for controlling beasts in the future, which is regarded as a favor.

 …

 Two days later.

Lu Changan quietly returned to Jinyun Valley. The monks at the mountain gate did not know that he had left.

 Da Ri Peak, inside the cave.

Lu Changan closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, sensing the Nine Seal Monument deep in his consciousness.

 In the fifth frame seal of the Nine-Seal Stele, in the top one-tenth area, crystal white light flows.

 Different from the last time when Master Lihuo Yuanying was devoured, the fifth frame seal did not show the phantom image of True Lord Chahai.

Lu Changan's expression changed, and he thought: "Is it because the fifth life was not illuminated?"

 The fourth life of the Nine-Seal Monument is completely lit up after swallowing a Nascent Soul.

 Even, three ways of reincarnation can be activated independently.

It’s just that converting it into a past life experience requires fulfilling an important last wish of the devoured person during his lifetime.

 The fifth life is even more demanding. It requires swallowing an Avatar or ten Nascent Souls before it can be fully illuminated.

 Only by lighting them all up can you start a new reincarnation independently.

With some doubts, Lu Changan sensed the Nine Seal Monument and searched for the answer.

The Nine-Seal Monument trembled slightly, conveying a vague and abstract concept of information.

 Lu Changan analyzed it and came up with the answer:

“It turns out that only by devouring a complete soul source and enough to light up a certain life, can a picture of reincarnation be carved on the frame of the nine-seal stele.”

“And a Nascent Soul spirit body is not enough to light up the fifth life of the Jiuyin Monument. It is just a fragment and not complete.”

“If these ‘Nascent Soul fragments’ are put together and light up the fifth life, they can open two other ways of reincarnation.”

Lu Changan was slightly disappointed. The method of reincarnation last time was difficult to replicate again.

unless!

 Swallowing the soul source of a god-turned-god king, as a complete existence, so that the fifth life can be illuminated, and the last reincarnation method can be carried out.

 There are two other ways of reincarnation:

 One is to customize a new reincarnation life, which is equivalent to going back and restarting, but you can choose the location, talent, origin, luck, etc.

 Another kind of life of cultivating immortals in a foreign land with a dream of Huang Liang, turning the other self in the dream into a reincarnation experience.

“The appetite for the Nine-Seal Monument is getting bigger and bigger. The fifth life is going to devour the God-Transforming Heavenly Lord. Doesn’t the sixth life correspond to the Lord Lianxu? The seventh life is a great power of Hedao...the entire human world cannot satisfy it.”

Lu Changan couldn't help but shake his head and retract his thoughts.

 He used his consciousness to explore the tenth area lit up in the fifth life.

 Fortunately, it contains the vast and disordered ocean of memories of True Lord Chahai.

Although it cannot be transformed into reincarnation, it does not prevent Lu Changan from sorting out some useful memory knowledge.

Lu Changan is now fused with the Nascent Soul level soul. His spiritual thoughts are so powerful that he can sort out memory fragments several times faster than before.

 In just one month, I got a lot of useful information.

“Level 4 array mage, what a pity! I can’t transform...”

Lu Changan can only read and acquire memory knowledge.

 Like a library open to it, where knowledge and experience can be consulted.

Even if you spend time sorting out some magical powers and techniques, you need a lot of energy and time to learn and understand them.

 At the level of the Nascent Soul Stage, it can take decades or even hundreds of years to develop a certain magical power or skill to perfection.

Lu Changan has learned enough skills at the same time and has no extra energy to learn them one by one from beginning to end.

Even if you have the experience and insights in your memory, you can avoid many detours.

 But after all, it is not your own experience and cannot be directly transformed into instinctive skills.

Zhenjun Chahai took the route of specialization and cultivated the formations to the fourth level. The other skills of cultivating immortals were far inferior to those of Master Lihuo.

 It’s not that Master Lihuo doesn’t want to specialize.

Cultivation of immortality and various arts also requires talents. Master Lihuo does not have any talent that reaches the top level.

 “The great method of water escape, the immortal water god, the sky-swallowing tsunami…”

Zhenjun Chahai is good at quite a few magical powers and secret techniques.

However, most of them are based on the Tinghai Pavilion water-based exercises.

Lu Changan’s wood-type skills cannot be used to cultivate water-type magical powers, even if it is transformed into a lifetime.

""Listen to the Sea God's Ear" does not have strict requirements on the attributes of the technique. It can be practiced without the Tinghai Pavilion technique, and it can have most of the effects. However, this magical power requires parts of legendary beasts and sea monsters, as well as secret recipes. Only after a long period of practice can you succeed.”

Lu Changan finally found a useful magical power and secret technique, at least it was possible to practice it.

 …

 Two years later, Lu Changan’s age reached 315 years old.

 Due to some considerations, he postponed his plan to go to Fengguo Aoyue Palace.

 The main reason is that in order to deal with Lord Chahai, the strongest trump card of the fourth generation was used up.

At that time, although there was still a lot of power of the soul possessed by the fourth life, some of it was consumed after checking the memory of Lord Chahai.

Without a prosperous trump card, the trip to Fengguo to obtain the Taiyin Jade Liquid would naturally arouse people's jealousy. If he is targeted by the True Lord Yuanying, Lu Changan will not have enough confidence.

  After all, to defeat an incomplete Nascent Soul Lord, one had to go all out.

  If there is no Nine Seal Monument, it can only be defeated but not killed.

In the past two years, Lu Changan has learned very important information from the memory of True Lord Chahai, which is worth every penny.

 First of all, as the successor of Tinghai Pavilion, Zhenjun Chahai was too far apart in time and had little understanding of the real situation in the ancient ruins.

 Even, I don’t know the existence of Xuantian Gourd Vine.

Lu Changan breathed a sigh of relief, and finally felt at ease.

 One of the three goals of the Return to Defense Alliance is completed here.

 Second, regarding space node channels.

 The Central Territory of the Great Abyss was once an ancient battlefield, with many forbidden areas and space cracks.

The ancestors of Tinghai Pavilion discovered one of the secret space nodes. After opening the space formation channel, they can travel to the space node at this end of Qingzhou.

 Later, due to lack of maintenance, this secret space formation channel was damaged.

Chahai Zhenjun, as a fourth-level formation mage, smashed the pot and repaired it to a certain extent so that monks below Nascent Soul can travel through it.

In the memory of Zhenjun Chahai, except for the three people they shuttled through, no one else knew about the existence of the space node.

 The space node on the Daqing side is not in the Wei Dao League, but another hidden location in the Eastern Region of Daqing.

Knowing the location of this spatial node, Lu Changan had an extra escape route.

If Daqing can't survive, he can fight against Dayuan instead.

 The civilization of cultivating immortals there is more developed, and there are relatively more opportunities to have babies.

 Last important piece of information.

  News about the second generation of Kunzhou!

Cha Hai Zhenjun’s memory, he knows the existence of Kunzhou, including its specific location.

Dakun is actually the realm of immortal cultivation around the Great Abyss!

 Although the two are not adjacent to each other, Dakun is not located in Linhai.

Through the memories of the two Nascent Soul Lords, Lu Changan finally illuminated the location of Dakun in his previous life on the vast map of Tianheng Continent.

In this life, it is expected to return to the world where the Danjie family was in the previous life. This is a brand new breakthrough for Lu Changan who has gone through three reincarnations of immortality!
