Chapter 417: Thousand Machines and Gods, Meet the Heavenly Master Again

The Aoyue Palace Master could not have imagined that after the transformation and upgrading, the [Black Sky Wing] could exert a powerful power on Lu Changan.

Therefore, she proposed this plan that seemed to not infringe on Lu Changan's interests and could ease the relationship between the two camps.

Lu Changan quickly said goodbye and left.

On the cloud layer, Lu Changan looked back at the mountain gate of the Aoyue Palace and could not help but count with his fingers.

As a Yuanying force with a long heritage, there are all heavenly secrets and strange objects, which interfere with the divination of the outside world to protect the secrets of the sect.

Lu Changan's divination target is Jinyue Zhenjun, and he faces considerable resistance and heavenly secret interference.

Because Fairy Xia will have a disaster in the future, the Aoyue Palace Master has a problem with her tendency, so Lu Changan targeted divination.

"There is a certain cause and effect relationship."

After a while, Lu Changan's divination came to a preliminary conclusion.

As Xia Wenyue is an innate Taoist body, in the late stage of Jindan, there are very few beings that can bring disaster to her in the normal order of the Xiuxian world.

Her master, Jin Yue Zhenjun, is an elder who can influence the trajectory of her fate.

Lu Changan's cause and effect is also one of them.

As for the Ao Yue Palace Master herself, the conclusion of the hexagram is inaccurate and she is subject to much interference from the secrets of heaven.

Lu Changan only confirmed that she advocates peace and does not want to fight to the death with the Beast King Valley. If the situation is irreversible in the future, Ao Yue Palace can accept joining the Demonic Path camp and leave a way out.

But it cannot be confirmed that Jin Yue Zhenjun has colluded with the Beast King Valley and belongs to the surrender faction.

Wu Jianmen has been infiltrating for more than 200 years, and it is unknown how many forces have been contacted privately in secret.

As far as Lu Changan knows, the beast control Zhou family, Xuemeishan Li family, and Wu Jianmen all sent people to contact them.

The Wei Dao League, which has suffered from internal ghosts, has been strictly investigating Wu Jianmen spies by major forces, and even set up corresponding institutions.

If Jin Yue Zhenjun is a firm surrenderist, there is no shortage of opportunities for him to turn against him in the past Demonic Path wars.

Until the last step, no Yuanying force is willing to lose sovereignty and become a vassal of the demon camp, relying on others.

For a normal Yuanying force, it is so delicious to dominate one side.

Not to mention, betrayal also has risks.

It is indeed easy for an individual to defect to the demon, but it is difficult to bring a large sect inheritance force to defect.

Chu Tianfeng, Liang Shaotian and other pro-war factions of the Weidao League are not vegetarians.

Including those homeless Zhenjuns who were broken through the mountain gate by the demons, the blood feud with the Beast King Valley is difficult to reconcile.

…

Lu Changan did not return to Liang State immediately, but gathered his magic power and disguised himself as a fake Dan Zhenren with an identity in an unmanned corner.

A few days later, he came to a commercial fairy city near the Beast King Valley.

This fairy city is located in the buffer zone between the two major camps and also belongs to the original Feng State.

"As a neutral trading place, the cultivators of the two camps can trade freely."

After Lu Changan registered and reviewed, he entered the Fairy City of Commerce.

Among the merchants who set up stalls and opened shops in the city, there were cultivators from the Beast King Valley camp and cultivators from the Guardians of the Dao.

Among them, the Chamber of Commerce was the main force, and there were often shadows of immortal cultivation families and sects behind them.

Those high-end shops had many high-level resources at the Jindan level, including the inheritance of beast control, and the skills and magical powers, which were open to the cultivators of the Guardians of the Dao.

There were rumors that the top Chamber of Commerce in the city had the background of the Six Sects of the Demonic Path, and even sold some spiritual objects related to the infant formation, but ordinary cultivators could not access them.

After observing, Lu Changan came to the basic conclusion that the Beast King Valley occupied the majority of those high-end item resources, and the selling price was high.

The skills and magical powers of the Six Sects of the Demonic Path, and the inheritance of beast control, were affordable.

This was cultural output in a sense.

The specialty materials of the Guardians of the Dao were suppressed because they could only be sold to the Beast King Valley.

The cultivation materials sold by the Demonic Sect from the outside world are, on the contrary, at a premium.

The less affected are the finished products of the Hundred Arts of Cultivation, such as talismans, elixirs, and magic weapons, which are mainly measured by quality.

However, the Demonic Sect came from the prosperous Central Region, where the cultivation civilization is developed. The overall level of craftsmen there is high, more inward-looking, and has cost advantages.

"The gap in cultivation civilization, coupled with the regional blockade, the Wei Dao League was economically plundered and its cultural heritage was invaded..."

Lu Changan personally experienced it, and it is not difficult to understand why there are so many peace advocates in the Wei Dao League.

Through trade exchanges, the Demonic Sect fully demonstrated its superiority, and the opportunity to be promoted to a higher level is indeed better than that of the backward Wei Dao League.

If one side grows and the other side declines, how can the Wei Dao League fight for another hundred years? By then, I am afraid that they will all be a group of fence-sitters and surrenderists.

Lu Changan admires the senior officials of the Beast King Valley who formulated this strategy.

It is said that this strategic idea comes from the great elder of the Beast King Valley.

Lu Changan would not doubt that the leader of the Demon Sect was the same time traveler.

The civilization of the immortal cultivation world has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, and the accumulated experience and knowledge are countless. The wisdom of this world cannot be underestimated, especially those Yuanying old monsters.

"Beast King Valley's actions have directly affected the business interests of the neutral force "Wangyue Xiancheng."

Lu Changan thought of Wangyue Xiancheng where he formed the golden elixir.

Lu Changan and Zhang Tieshan had both transformed their elixirs and formed new elixirs here, and Zhu Yuting had also formed her elixir here.

The Moon-Watching Immortal City is aloof and neutral, with a mysterious background. It has a fourth-level spiritual vein and trades with the countries surrounding the Wei Dao League, and prefers middle and high-level cultivators.

This immortal city is located between Liang, Feng, and Heng. Now the route to the Wei Dao League is controlled by the Beast King Valley, and the risk of reaching it is very high.

Lu Changan now knows that the Moon-Watching Immortal City belongs to the mysterious business alliance in Daqingzhongyu, and may have the background of the Ten Sects of Xuanmen.

The Six Sects of the Demonic Path will not attack this neutral immortal city and provoke a confrontation between good and evil, but they will not buy it either.

…

On the way back to Liang, Lu Changan thought of the teleportation space channel of Tinghai Pavilion that he controlled.

In theory, he can be a dealer in the two lands, buying low and selling high.

The scarcity of the special products of the lands may vary several times in different places.

But the actual implementation is not that ideal.

First of all, there is the risk issue. Frequent trips, large quantities of materials, and travel between the two places are likely to attract the attention of interested parties.

Secondly, each shuttle is not without cost. It will produce load impact and cause damage to the space array.

Repairing and maintaining the space array requires a lot of space treasures, which is also quite difficult.

Therefore, before having absolute strength, this kind of shuttle between the realms is only suitable for a small amount of scarce or top-level immortal cultivation materials, mainly for one's own use.

The object of the transaction is limited to a few trusted high-level cultivators; or hide the identity and disperse a small amount of shots in the various realms of Daqing.

"When my cultivation and magical powers reach the bottleneck and there is no further progress, I can consider this matter."

Lu Changan is not in a hurry. He does the right thing at the right stage.

...

Two years later.

Jinyun Valley, Tianfeng Dojo.

The Supreme Elder Refining Hall.

"Daoyou Lu, the three nail-head arrows have been upgraded successfully. If Daoyou had not nurtured the main stem soul-nourishing wood to the top level of the fourth level, Zhang might not have succeeded."

Zhang Tianfeng looked a little tired, and the golden-red flame on the palm of his hand disappeared, revealing three [nail-head arrows].

Compared to before the upgrade, the overall change of [nail-head arrows] was not big. The shaft was like an arrow and the head was like a nail, which was much smaller than the size of ordinary magic weapons.

The shaft was dark green, with a deeper and more low-key aura; the nail head had a dark metallic luster.

"Not bad, Daoyou Zhang has amazing talent for refining weapons, and can be called the first weapon refiner of the Weidao League."

Lu Changan touched the newly added refining array texture on the [nail-head arrows], showing a little joy, and praised it generously.

In fact, Zhang Tieshan's refining upgrade this time had some flaws.

But the three [nail-head arrows] all reached the threshold of the best magic weapon, which met Lu Changan's expectations.

In the future, he will continue to nourish with the Evergreen Infant Fire, and the quality of the magic weapon will be slowly improved over a long period of time.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, you are too kind. This time the refining of the weapon did not reach the ideal level."

Zhang Tieshan actually tried his best. His refining skills were not good enough to refine the best magic weapon.

Fortunately, the [Nail Head Arrow] was originally made by him, and Lu Changan invested another seven or eight years of his life to nourish the shaft to the top level of the fourth level.

This time it was just a tempering and improvement, not a completely new and complete forging, so the difficulty was reduced a little.

During the refining process, Zhang Tieshan had the guidance of the weapon spirit, which was better than the general fourth-level refining master.

The materials of the broken spiritual treasure he owned tended to be gold and iron ore. The first-generation owner of the original spiritual treasure happened to be a fifth-level refiner, and the weapon spirit was influenced by the knowledge of refining.

"The two nail head materials that were owed on credit, Lu will help Jinyun Valley to build a quasi-fourth-level puppet in the future."

Lu Changan promised.

Zhang Tieshan had stored a lot of gold and iron magic weapon materials, which saved him some time.

"Zhang will wait and see."

Zhang Tianfeng looked expectantly and suspected that Lu Changan might already have a fourth-level puppet.

...

Return to the Changqing Peak Dojo.

Lu Changan followed the tunnel and entered the underground palace.

Under the cover of the formation restriction, he simply tested a nail-headed arrow.

In addition to the soul killing power, the sharpness and penetration characteristics of the nail head have been improved by several percent.

However, the consumption of mana and consciousness has also increased significantly.

As a small magic weapon, [Nail-headed Arrow] is not suitable for head-on confrontation in a fight.

This is the disadvantage of saving materials. The amount of materials used for three nail-headed arrows is only enough to touch a normal top-grade magic weapon.

Therefore, Lu Changan traded for the [Dragon Wood Staff] with thick materials from Fairy Zixia that year, and was good at frontal fighting.

"The power of the [Nail Head Arrow] has been upgraded, and with the addition of the [Black Sky Wing], my magical power has improved significantly compared to the battle with the Seven True Lords and the battle to seal the demon."

Lu Changan's confidence has increased greatly, and he is confident that he can gain a foothold in the Daqing Immortal Cultivation World.

When the two dragons of the Central Region just became famous, his Peacock Spirit had not been upgraded to the fourth level.

Even the Earth Rock Lord has obtained a set of magic weapons and can compete with the old Yuanying early stage.

In the past, Lu Changan could fight against the Yuanying middle stage in positional warfare, but he could not do anything to the opponent, and the threat was limited.

Now, the attack and mobility have been improved, and Lu Changan is confident that he can defeat many Yuanying middle stages.

Such strength may not be able to change the overall situation of the East Region, but it can already influence or even control the situation in a certain area.

Lu Changan's magic treasure trove is far superior to that of ordinary Yuanying Zhenjun, and can deal with various situations.

The highest quality ones are [Black Wind Cloak], [Nail Head Arrow], and [Black Sky Wing].

There are also less commonly used magic weapons, such as the Lihuo Gourd and the Sea Flag magic weapon left by Zhenjun Shahai.

"Now that I'm back in Daqing, this treasure can also be used in certain environments."

Lu Changan raised his hand and took out a Sea Flag magic weapon, which was similar in shape to the [Sea and Sky Holy Flag].

As the magic power was injected, the sea flag was surrounded by surging water spirit light.

This Sea Flag magic weapon was created by Zhenjun Shahai based on inheritance. The quality is slightly inferior to the [Sea and Sky Holy Flag], but the magic power consumption is less, and it is more suitable for the early stage of Yuanying.

When he fought with Zhenjun Shahai, his cultivation had fallen and was not in his prime, so he did not exert the true power of this treasure.

In the past, in Dayuan, Lu Changan was worried that the characteristics of the Sea Flag magic weapon would be revealed and known by the Sixteen Sects of Zhenhai, so he kept it sealed.

…

"The magic war of the Weidao League will not be restarted in the short term. Take advantage of this peaceful period to go to Fengyuan Country."

After the magic weapon was greatly enhanced, Lu Changan planned to go to Fengyuan Country.

When he left Daqing, he owed a favor to the Heavenly Master.

In Fengyuan Country, Lu Changan also left some ties, such as the Fairy Ni Yue of Xuanyin Pavilion, the descendants of Lihuo Shangren, and Yun Ling, the reincarnation of Guan Qiaozhi.

After going to Fengyuan Country, the boundaries of the two sects are no longer far apart, which is just right for Master Wei to take revenge and fulfill the agreement of the year.

Lu Changan called Master Wei out, planned the itinerary with him, and discussed the details.

"Lu Zhenjun really keeps his word."

Master Wei's tone was excited, and the puppet's eyes showed gratitude.

To express his gratitude, Master Wei revealed to Lu Changan a secret about the opportunity of the Thousand Machine Sect:

"The inheritance of the Thousand Machine Sect originated from Zhongzhou in Tianheng Continent. The sect has a secret method called "Thousand Machine Divine Art", which is the unique skill of the puppet refining holy land."

"The Thousand Machine Divine Art can increase the success rate of puppet creation and make puppet control more exquisite. What's more amazing is that this secret method can greatly improve the strength of the cultivator's spiritual consciousness."

After listening to Master Wei's description, Lu Changan's heart was moved.

Just being able to greatly improve the strength of the cultivator's spiritual consciousness is the top spiritual consciousness secret technique in the world of cultivation.

The puppet inheritance that Lu Changan has obtained so far is quite mixed, including past collection and accumulation, obtained in the memory of the Nascent Soul, and taught by Master Wei.

Master Wei's puppet inheritance also includes high-level puppet control secrets, which make the spiritual consciousness more condensed and exquisitely controlled.

Compared with "Thousand Machines God Technique", it is more than one level lower. Although it is of the same lineage, it is a castrated peripheral version.

Although Master Wei's puppet talent is amazing, he did not advance to the Nascent Soul stage that year. Just after creating a fourth-level puppet, he was plundered by his fellow disciples who sponsored him, and his wife and daughter were raped and killed.

At that time, Master Wei had not yet entered the core of the high-level of the Thousand Machines Sect, and could not get in touch with "Thousand Machines God Technique", but he had long been fascinated.

"Don't worry, Old Wei! If you are lucky enough to get "Thousand Machines God Technique", this True Lord will study and share with you."

Lu Changan smiled with relief and patted Master Wei on the shoulder.

Because of keeping his promise and sincerely helping with revenge, Lu Changan won Master Wei's gratitude and trust, so he "colluded" with him, an outsider, to seek the supreme secrets of the Thousand Machines Sect.

Of course, Master Wei may not be without selfish motives. "Thousand Machines God Technique" is quite attractive to a puppet-making genius like him, and he must want to study it.

…

The next day, Lu Changan went to the main hall of the sect and met with the current sect master Huo Zhen.

Huo Zhen was Zhang Tianfeng's direct disciple, with a mid-stage Jindan cultivation level. He had met him at Zhang Tianfeng's dojo before.

"Lu Zhenjun, this jade slip contains relevant information about Wuye City."

Sect Master Huo performed the etiquette of a junior and handed over a jade slip with a respectful tone.

"Okay, thank you for your help."

Lu Changan took the jade slip and scanned the information inside with his spiritual sense.

As the sect's chief worshiper, Lu Changan did not have to do many things himself, and could just leave them to the juniors.

"The former Wuye Town was expanded into the Wuye Fairy City under the management of Wuye Zhenren 'Jiang Yechen'. Now it is a holy place for independent cultivators in Liangguo's immortal cultivation world, and it has absorbed refugees from other countries who fled from the Demonic War."

"Jiang Yechen was fortunate to get the opportunity in the Demonic War eighty years ago, and broke through to the late stage of Jindan, firmly sitting on the throne of the first independent cultivator in Liangguo's immortal cultivation world."

Lu Changan was a little surprised. He didn't expect Jiang Yechen to go further.

This boy's aptitude is indeed good, but his background and power are not enough. Lu Changan originally thought that he would be like Huanglong Zhenren, trapped in the middle stage of Jindan for his whole life.

"Shi Xiaochuan, a true dan cultivator, inherited the formation inheritance of the former formation master Shi Manrong, and is better than his master. Now he is the chief formation master of Wuye Fairy City, in charge of the formation of the fairy city."

Shi Xiaochuan's achievements were within Lu Changan's expectations.

This boy has top-grade spiritual roots and excellent talent in formation. He has been cultivated with all his strength by two immortals, Jiang Yechen and Master Fairy, and can be considered a second-generation immortal.

Lu Changan visited Wuye Town and presented Master Fairy with the longevity pill. He had met Shi Xiaochuan in his youth. He had a good impression of Shi Xiaochuan at that time, and he was quite obedient.

Later, he never met him again.

"It has been three years since I returned to Liang State, and this kid, as a junior, has never come to visit me or sent me a visiting card?"

Lu Changan was unhappy about this. He couldn't condescend to go to Wuye Town in person and beg the kid to fulfill his favor.

"It seems that in Jiang Yechen's subsequent teaching, this kid has misunderstandings and prejudices about my past."

It is not difficult for Lu Changan to guess the reason.

Influenced by his adoptive father, Shi Xiaochuan is also a bit proud and unwilling to come to cling to him, even if there is a formal promise of favor.

"The world of cultivation is ever-changing and time is long. I don't believe that there will be a day when you don't ask for help."

Lu Changan was calm and gave up the idea of ​​going to Wuye Town in person.

If the other party does not fulfill the promise he made, he will naturally not feel guilty.

According to his understanding, Wuye City is not as prosperous as he imagined in the Liang Kingdom's cultivation world.

Wuye City represents the interests of the scattered cultivation group and provides shelter for refugees, which inevitably has certain conflicts of interest with the mainstream sects of Liang Kingdom in the early years.

The area of ​​Wuye City belongs to the sphere of influence dominated by Jinyang Sect.

Due to the profound foundation of Jinyang Sect, it has always maintained two Yuanying Zhenjun and has controlled the right to speak in two-thirds of the territory of Liang Kingdom's cultivation world.

As Wuye City grows bigger, it faces pressure from the Jinyang Sect camp and is infiltrated by various chambers of commerce, who want to divide up the benefits.

Just like the replica of Huanglong Xiancheng in the early years, after the Huanglongshan lineage was overthrown, many benefits allowed Lihuo Palace and other sects to recover.

However, due to the external crisis of the invasion of the demons and the various prohibitions of the Weidao League, the means of the Jinyang Sect camp must be restrained and cannot be blatant.

...

Half a month later.

The border of Fengyuan Kingdom.

An elegant middle-aged man in a green shirt, stepping on the green escape light, shuttled through the endless flying sand and arrived at the ancient civilized country in the center of the desert.

"After hundreds of years, the harsh environment of Fengyuan Kingdom has remained almost unchanged."

The middle-aged man Xu Xuan in a green shirt looked at the faintly visible black oasis in the distance, which seemed so small in the yellow sandstorm.

Re-stepping on this land, the familiar scene in front of him seemed to appear yesterday.

Of course, there are also different perceptions.

His deep and empty eyes saw through the invisible network of heaven and earth destiny, which has been compiled and laid out for hundreds of years, deeply rooted, and integrated with the civilization fortune of this desert country.

"The fortune-telling of the heavenly master follows the flow of national destiny, which is integrated with the fortune of a civilization, and has both advantages and disadvantages."

Compared with the past, Lu Changan can see more.

Huh!

In the desert ahead, a strong wind suddenly rose and sand gathered. The originally hot weather suddenly condensed into a cold snowflake.

"Which true lord has come uninvited to visit Fengyuan Country?"

In the field of vision ahead, a large piece of sand and snow condensed into a Taoist statue wearing a snow-white robe, standing with his hands behind his back, and a cold and empty voice came.

The Taoist statue in the snow robe stood with his hands behind his back. Although it was a dead object, it seemed to be integrated with the entire desert, containing the endless power of nature.

"Haha, Mr. Tianshi, you can't recognize Xu in just a hundred years?"

Lu Changan smiled lightly.

Boom!

As he stepped into the territory of Fengyuan Country, the two fourth-level divination forces of the destiny of the heaven and earth collided with each other, shattering the surrounding heaven and earth destiny silk net.

The mysterious long river in the dark stirred up tiny ripples, affecting the cause and effect fate of countless ant creatures.

"It's you!"

The voice of the Tianshi came from the Taoist statue in the snow robe as expected.

But immediately, the collision of destiny roared, causing the Heavenly Master's consciousness to tremble, and an unbelievable and surprised voice came:

"You... have also entered this realm..."
