Chapter 356: Impact Transformation

Lu Changan put away the [Xuanxin Beast Pill] and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute, Fellow Daoist Xu!"

Red Snake True Lord suddenly spoke, and the smile on his face looked cold and malicious under the red and black snake pattern.

"What advice do you have for me, Fellow Daoist Red Snake?"

Lu Changan's heart tightened, and he said expressionlessly.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, have you ever heard of the mysterious place in the Central Region, [Ancient Nether Palace]?"

Red Snake True Lord said seriously.

"Ancient Nether Palace? I have heard a little about it."

Lu Changan nodded, thinking.

After coming to the Central Region of the Great Abyss for decades, he had heard rumors about the Ancient Nether Palace, which was a secret and opportunity at the Nascent Soul level.

It is said that some giants in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul in the Central Region had obtained opportunities from the Ancient Nether Palace.

"According to the signs, the Ancient Nether Palace, which appears once every hundreds of years, will see the light of day again in the Central Region's restricted area in the next few years."

"You should be aware of the opportunities and benefits of the Ancient Nether Palace. I am organizing strong men, and then we will form a team in the Ancient Nether Palace, which will help us get opportunities and increase our chances of survival."

"Fellow Daoist Xu has no power to rely on in the Central Region. Are you interested in joining us and joining forces?"

Red Snake True Lord took the initiative to invite.

"Fellow Daoist Red Snake is kind, and I appreciate it. But Xu's magic power is mediocre and he doesn't like fighting."

Lu Changan shook his head and refused bluntly.

The Ancient Nether Palace is a mysterious forbidden place of the Yuanying level in the Central Region. It is extremely dangerous. He is a mere Jindan cultivator and has no interest in participating.

When the rock rat transforms, there will be a fourth-level demon king to protect him. Lu Changan will be comfortable in his future practice, and it will be easier to plan the resources for the formation of the infant, so there is no need to risk his life.

Red Snake True Lord showed a regretful expression and did not persuade or force him.

On the loess plain, the two flew in different directions.

Lu Changan went to the power base of the Red Moon Chamber of Commerce.

The Red Snake Master's eyes flickered slightly, and he turned back slowly. After flying a thousand miles, he waited in a dense forest.

About two hours later.

A white-haired young man wearing cloth and carrying an ancient sword on his waist came in the air and landed in the dense forest.

"Fellow Daoist Nangong, you have made a wasted trip. The lone Yuanying from the foreign domain was really cautious and did not give a chance to delay. Otherwise, with the full power of fellow Daoist Nangong now..."

The Red Snake Master smiled and said respectfully.

The young man in white held the hilt of the sword, wearing cloth, with dark pupils, and a kind of vicissitudes and dark atmosphere.

If the high-level cultivators of the Great Abyss South Region were here, they would be able to recognize the identity of the "Demon Sword" Nangong Xiu.

"Xu Xuan? The Great Abyss South Region has never heard of this person."

Nangong Xiu's face was calm.

He is the Nascent Soul Demon wanted by the "Heavenly Sword Pavilion" in the Southern Region. He is dormant in the Central Region to recuperate.

"That person doesn't look like an evil cultivator from the Ghost Palace camp in the Northern Region. It seems that his roots are mostly from the Eastern Region or the coastal area."

Red Snake True Lord said with some regret.

He suspected that Xu's Nascent Soul still had dragon materials or precious beast materials from the coastal area, which were attractive to the Beast Taming Sect.

"There is no need to make trouble for an outsider Nascent Soul cultivator. The Ancient Nether Palace is the focus of our strategy."

Nangong Xiu's tone was indifferent, and he was not very interested in Xu's Nascent Soul cultivator.

"Over the years, has Fellow Daoist Nangong gathered high-level magic crystals to enter the Ancient Nether Palace?"

Red Snake True Lord asked.

"It's still a little short." Nangong Xiu shook his head and said, "If it's not enough by then, can Fellow Daoist Chishe lend me one or two?"

"No problem! As long as Fellow Daoist Nangong helps secretly, a little financial support is not worth mentioning."

Red Snake True Lord said in a generous tone.

"I'm looking for materials to repair the 'Heavenly Sword', does Daoist Red Snake have any idea?"

"It's difficult. Daoist Nangong's Heavenly Sword is the original form of an ancient treasure. In Dayu Country, it is estimated that only the royal family can take it out. In addition, the most likely way to obtain it is the Ancient Nether Palace."

"Even if we get a small amount of auxiliary materials, we still need to ask a fourth-level weapon refiner to repair the Heavenly Sword, which may easily expose Daoist Nangong's identity."

Red Snake True Lord said with embarrassment.

After all, Nangong Xiu is the target of the pursuit and wanted by the "Heavenly Sword Pavilion", the first force in the Southern Region.

As an evil Yuanying, he only dares to collude privately and cannot do it in public.

Fortunately, after Nangong Xiu fled to the Central Region, the intensity of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion's wanted was greatly reduced.

"Well, I hope there will be gains in the Ancient Nether Palace."

Nangong Xiu knew that this was not easy.

Red Snake True Lord was afraid of his strength and would not help him to collect materials with all his strength to repair the Heavenly Sword.

After all, Nangong Xiu in his prime had an undefeated record in battles with mid-stage Yuanying. Later, he was seriously injured in the encirclement and suppression, his magic weapon was damaged, and he fled to the Central Region.

…

Seven days later.

Lu Changan changed his appearance in the Red Moon Chamber of Commerce's sphere of influence, and then quietly returned to Yunxia Sect to replace the substitute in the main peak cave.

There was a puppet clone in the Qingluan Peak cave, disguising his appearance. During this period, he had a brief meeting with Xiao Qingshan, who did not see through it.

Because the time away was very short, this small action did not attract the attention of the Supreme Elder.

Yunlan Zhenjun happened to be out recently and was not in the mountain gate.

In addition, the formation restrictions set in the cave will also trigger the induction if the Yuanying Zhenjun's spiritual consciousness forcibly peeped.

"If the Earth Rock Rat successfully transforms in the future, the Red Snake Zhenjun may have an association."

Lu Changan's cover-up action was considered.

Not long after returning to the sect, Lu Changan turned 344 years old.

The fourth body is still there. As long as there is no fighting and frequent consumption of spiritual consciousness, it can be maintained in a "dormant" state for many years.

Lu Changan asked the rock rat to adjust its state and planned to reach the transformation stage within a year.

In the following half a year, Lu Changan symbolically purchased elixirs and spiritual objects that would help the monster beast advance, as well as natural materials and treasures.

Including using the sect's contribution, exchanging items, and exchanging resources.

Lu Chang'an's actions made some Jindan elders in the sect see the clues.

In recent years, the ground rock rat occasionally appeared in the sect, and the senior leaders in the sect knew that Master Xiang also had a third-stage late rat demon spirit pet.

On this day, Zixia Zhenjun summoned Lu Chang'an and personally asked about the ground rock rat's impact transformation.

Zixia Peak, in the elegant palace.

"Replying to the Supreme Elder, my spirit pet will impact transformation in three months. At that time, it will use the sect's fourth-stage spirit vein to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which will cause some impact. I hope Zhenjun will bear it."

Lu Chang'an bowed and looked up at the female Zhenjun at the head of the hall.

Zixia Zhenjun has a cloud bun, a long eyebrow, and a graceful curve in a purple skirt, like a dreamlike cloud, lazily leaning on the jade bed chair.

"Master Xiang, there is no need to be so polite. I have promised you many years ago that you will allow your pet to use the fourth-level spiritual pulse to transform. "

Master Zixia spoke in a clear and pleasant voice, lifted her skirt sleeves lightly, and invited Lu Changan to sit down in an elegant manner.

Afterwards, Master Zixia was concerned about the progress of the rock rat's transformation and resource preparation.

Lu Changan naturally concealed the key items.

Except for the [Lightning Pearl] traded from Yu Yuanjin, the large medicinal spiritual objects prepared on the surface were very ordinary, and there were no superior items.

Master Zixia frowned slightly. Such preparations were somewhat shabby compared to the Nascent Soul seeds of the Nascent Soul Sect.

But she knew: Xiang Dalong, a cultivator from a small state, who was born as a casual cultivator, was already precious to be able to achieve this step.

"Do you have a heart calamity item?"

"I haven't found a suitable spiritual object yet. If it doesn't work, use a third-level superior spiritual incense to calm the spirit."

Lu Changan replied.

The Dingshen Lingxiang is mainly used to assist cultivation and help resolve distracting thoughts and mental obstacles, but it can only be said to be better than nothing if it is used to resist the heart demon tribulation.

Zixia Zhenjun pondered and said, "There is a fourth-level lower-grade 'Shangqing Pill' in the sect's treasury. Later, you can use your contribution to exchange it with the order of this Zhenjun."

"Thank you Zhenjun for your favor!"

Lu Changan was overjoyed and bowed gratefully.

In Yunxia Sect, only Yuanying seeds and direct core elders are eligible to exchange Shangqing Pill.

Zixia Zhenjun's behavior at this moment is an exception.

Shangqing Pill is used for the heart demon tribulation, which is the right medicine, but it is not as good as those of the best spiritual objects.

Although it is a pill made for humans, it is also helpful for spirit beasts to transform, because the latter's heart tribulation is weaker.

"Do your best and leave it to fate. Regardless of success or failure, Master Xiang has a clear conscience."

Before leaving, Zixia Zhenjun comforted him.

Even though she promised the Shangqing Pill, she still didn't think the Earth Rock Rat would be able to transform.

Although the final heart tribulation of a demon beast's transformation is weaker, the first two levels, especially the heavenly thunder tribulation, are more difficult than those of a human cultivator.

The key is that the bloodline of that demon rat is not of the top grade, and it does not have a holy pill for transformation and advancement that matches the infant transformation pill.

How could she know that the Earth Rock Rat's transformation conditions are better than those of Yun Qing Zhenren of this sect.

...

That afternoon, Lu Changan, holding the Zhenjun's hand order, went to the sect's forbidden treasure house and almost exhausted the remaining contributions to exchange for the Shangqing Pill.

It is said that the first heart-protecting pill that Yun Qing Zhenren prepared before forming an infant was the Shangqing Pill.

"This pill can be saved for my promotion to the Nascent Soul in the future."

Lu Changan sealed the Shangqing Pill and thought to himself.

The Earth Rock Rat has a more suitable and better Xuanxin Beast Pill, and this Shangqing Pill will become his backup.

If the Earth Rock Rat is lucky enough to be promoted to the Demon King.

Lu Changan had thought of all the words, attributing it to the gift of Fairy Zixia and her full support.

In this way, the Little Mouse Demon was promoted to the fourth level, with a foothold and support, so that the outside world would not think too much.

Everything was ready.

Lu Changan started divination and selected an auspicious day within three months.

The so-called auspicious day is not a decisive factor.

The spirit of the Earth Rock Rat reached its peak, relaxed, and mastered the method of transformation, ready to transform at any time to overcome the tribulation.

There are corresponding methods for promotion to Yuanying and even transformation.

Fortunately, Lu Changan has the memories of many Yuanying Zhenjun, so he is not lacking in this aspect.

...

Three months passed in a flash.

This day, it was the auspicious day selected by Lu Changan.

Yunxia Sect Mountain Gate, the most central fourth-level spiritual vein area.

In the underground stone hall built in advance, the Earth Rock Rat has been waiting for many days.

The reason for choosing the underground is that the earth-based spiritual energy is strong, which helps the earth-based monsters to restore their magical powers.

At the same time, it can conceal some details of the impact transformation.

In addition to the dragon pill, the heart of the stone dragon, and the lightning bead, the transformation opportunity of the rock rat also includes a special five-element soil.

The five-element soil comes from the vicinity of the sprouting black vine. It was once contaminated by the dead things of Xuantian, and now serves as a spiritual object to assist in the transformation.

Lu Changan is not sure about the specific effect, but from the instinctive reaction of the rock rat, it is more or less helpful.

Half a day later.

Above the underground stone hall, the wind and clouds surged, the evil spirits rolled, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered like a tide.

The strong earthly evil spirit pressure instantly reached the limit of the third-level demon.

"What a strong demon aura!"

The Jindan cultivators in Yunxia Sect were moved by the induction.

At the beginning of the impact transformation, the spiritual pressure emitted by the rock rat has exceeded the existing few Jindan masters in Yunxia Sect.

Including Lu Changan, the master.

"It is worthy of being a fourth-level spirit vein, almost reaching the fourth-level middle grade."

Lu Changan's previous life to attack Yuanying was far from such a superior environment and conditions.

The spiritual veins of Yunxia Sect are not far away from being nurtured into the fourth-level mid-grade. If the two true monarchs have no objections, Lu Changan would not mind practicing here for a long time.

Zixia Peak dozens of miles away.

"This rat demon has a good background. As a mutated species, the demon's power contains the evil spirit of the earth."

True Lord Zixia stood on the top of the peak, with a long neck and a straight waist, looking at the strange phenomena of heaven and earth in the distance with his star-like lavender eyes.

Compared with the whole sect's vigilance when Master Yunqing gave birth to a baby last time, the Earth Rock Rat's impact transformation was of a lower standard.

Lu Changan was near the ground, sitting cross-legged to protect the law.

"Zhenjun Yunlan didn't reply? That's good, there's one less unstable factor."

Lu Changan looked at Yun Lanfeng on the other side.

In Yunxia Sect, Lu Changan has a good relationship with True Lord Zixia. Not only will the latter not do bad things, but he will also help and protect each other.

After all, she discovered Lu Changan first-hand and gained his trust and appreciation.

Not necessarily with True Lord Yunlan.

Lu Changan had an intuition that this person was always wary of him.

True Lord Yunlan has a strong desire for control, and his authority within the sect is far greater than that of Fairy Zixia.

Therefore, if the Earth Rock Rat succeeds in transformation, his control will be reduced, and he may not be in line with his wishes.

Three days later.

The vision of heaven and earth became more and more intense, triggering a spiritual tide, and the active and turbulent spiritual energy gradually expanded to hundreds or thousands of miles.

Contrary to the expectations of the outside world, the momentum of the rock rat's impact on the transformation was fierce and steady.

In fact, it was no weaker than Master Yunqing three years ago.

You must know that Zhenren Yunqing is the foundation of the immortal golden elixir.

Phew~

The annular vortex-like spiritual energy tide covers a ten-mile radius, forming an earth-colored light pillar in the center, connecting to the underground stone hall.

In the sky above the spiritual energy tide, dark clouds are rolling, and the prelude to the disaster cloud is brewing.

"Once the inner elixir of the monster transforms into the essence elixir, it will cause a thunder disaster..."

Lu Changan looked coldly at the calamity cloud that had not yet formed.

If the transformation of the inner elixir fails, the calamity clouds originating from the movement of the great avenue will naturally collapse.

At this moment, the prelude to the calamity clouds is gathering and rising, which means that the transformation of the Earth Rock Rat's inner elixir is proceeding smoothly.

On the contrary, the brewing of the calamity cloud will slowly stop.

…

It was at the critical moment when the Earth Rock Rat was condensing the elixir of spirit.

Whoosh——

Outside the Yunxia Sect, a Yuanying-level cloud-white light was rapidly approaching with overwhelming power.

Lu Changan became vigilant and discovered that the mana aura coming from him was none other than True Lord Yun Lan.

In the past two years, Zhenjun Yunlan has mostly been planning outside, and he seems to be paying attention to the Ancient You Palace.

After confirming his identity, Lu Changan did not let down his guard. Instead, he sent a message to remind Fairy Zixia.

In fact, from True Lord Yunlan's position, it is unlikely to prevent the Earth Rock Rat from transforming.

If the sect obtains a transformed demon king, the overall benefits will outweigh the disadvantages.

What Lu Changan is worried about is that if the person who comes is an impostor, this situation is also possible in the world of immortality.

After all, there is only one Nascent Soul Lord in charge of Yunxia Sect at this time.

Due to the impact of the transformation and the extraction of a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, the sect-protecting formation was not as stable as usual.

Upon hearing Lu Changan's message, True Lord Zixia couldn't help but smile.

In fact, she summoned True Lord Yun Lan to ensure that nothing went wrong.

To be promoted to transformation or infant formation requires a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, and will also lead to a catastrophe. This is the stage when the sect's formation is relatively weak.

True Lord Yunlan didn't take the Earth Rock Rat's transformation too seriously, and focused all his thoughts on the Ancient Nether Palace.

Yunqing's qualifications and conditions were so good, but he failed.

A rat demon with worse qualifications and worse opportunities has little hope, and he probably won't even be able to succeed at the first level.

Not long after, True Lord Zixia opened the formation and allowed True Lord Yunlan to enter the mountain gate.

"Zi Yan, what are you doing?"

True Lord Yunlan noticed that the Taoist companion's spiritual consciousness lingered on his body before opening the formation portal.

This kind of distrustful behavior was very rare and made him feel a little alienated and uncomfortable.

True Lord Zixia pursed her lips and smiled, explaining the reason.

"That Daoist Xiang is too cautious and suspicious, so much so that he even doubts the real Lord?"

Hearing this, True Lord Yun Lan frowned slightly and looked worried.

Lu Changan's reminder is not wrong.

But as the absolute controller of Yunxia Sect, this kind of questioning treatment will inevitably make him unhappy.

"Senior brother, please don't be offended. Master Xiang is very protective of his pet and avoids any unexpected factors. This is understandable." Zhenjun Zixia explained.

"Besides, when Yun Qing gave birth to a baby, Master Xiang was stopped outside and had no objection."

True Lord Zixia was protective and her words were gentle, but when they fell into True Lord Yunlan's ears, they felt particularly harsh.

They have been Taoist couples for hundreds of years. .

Zhenjun Zixia just protected an outsider, and compared the two of them.

The implication is that Xiang Dalong is broad-minded, and he is the real king with a small belly.

…

"How far has the impact transformed?"

The gloom in Zhenjun Yunlan's eyes flashed and he changed the subject.

He remained calm and had a warm face. He stood side by side with his Taoist companions on the top of Zixia Peak, watching the transformation of the heaven and earth not far away.

"That rat demon has a lot of hope in its first step of transformation."

Zhenjun Zixia paid attention to it for a few days and came up with the analysis conclusion.

"How many days will this rat impact and transform?"

True Lord Yunlan noticed the grandeur of the heaven and earth, felt a trace of invisible pressure, and was secretly surprised.

"Three days." True Lord Zixia said without hesitation.

"Only three days?"

Yun Lan Zhenjun's eyelids jumped. The progress was so fast!

As soon as the voice fell.

The gray calamity cloud on the sky expanded further, solidified into a shape, and faintly surrounded by blue sky thunder.

"The calamity cloud has taken shape. Could it be that this rat has already..."

Yun Lan Zhenjun was surprised and doubtful.

Boom!

At the moment when the calamity cloud was formed, the soil layer above the underground stone hall exploded, and the Nascent Soul-level earthly evil wind erupted.

A huge deep pit of several hundred feet was formed on the spot, revealing a huge rat demon with a whistling wind and clouds.

Puff!

The huge rat demon opened its mouth and spit out a crystal yellow pill with a faint light flashing and a powerful soul power surrounding it. It released the terrifying demon power of the fourth level, and instantly turned the soil layer buildings around its head into dust.
