The Jade Mountain's Cowering Cultivator, Journey to the Central Region

A Moon Empress.

Lan Chang'an not only passed through the boundary of the Seven Nations Alliance, but also separated from the surrounding Demonic Path battlefield.

With Wang Feng's True Lord token present, traveling to the Seven Nations Alliance's territory went smoothly.

After passing through the radiation area of the Demonic Path battlefield, there are some twists and turns.

Fortunately, Lan Chang'an put away the quasi-fourth-order big bird Puppet at the critical moment, and used Black Wind Cloak to cover his own aura, avoiding Divine Sense's glance.

Although Black Wind Cloak is a fifth-level material, it is not the real Law Treasure, so it cannot cover the large bird Puppet.

Black Wind Cloak is mainly a masking effect and does not have a stealth function.

It works best in a static state, or when you are breathing and sneaking.

If you are in a fighting or flying state, Black Wind Cloak cannot conceal your aura.

"Fortunately, like True Lord Qingmu did, he was discovered by Demonic Path Nascent Soul on the road and got into a fight. As a result, Evergreen Dao Fruit had a clear induction and missed the opportunity."

Lan Chang'an looked back at the direction of the Seven Nations Alliance and Demonic Path's battlefield and murmured.

He controlled the big bird Puppet under his seat and flew towards the Eastern Region border.

The wing frame of this big bird comes from the fourth-level Roc Bird of True Lord Qingmu. Its flight speed is no less than that of monk Nascent Soul Early Stage.

Although the next journey is longer, it is away from the Demonic Path battlefield and can speed up appropriately.

Half a year later.

Great Qing Central Region, Bishan Sect.

Among the shrouded Spirit Cleansing Pool, Green-Robed Man sits cross-legged and performs exercises. The Law Power breath of the ancient wood Changqing makes the surrounding flowers and trees full of life.

Green-Robed Man is full of heaven, his appearance is not outstanding, and his Nascent Soul Realm Wood Element Law Power aura leaks out.

"Junior brother Green Wood, how is Law Power recovering?"

Bishan Sect forbidden area, two Nascent Soul Realm and Escape Light arrived one after another.

At first there was an upright, silver-haired old man with kind eyes and a gentle tone.

"Brother Green Wood."

Another beauty in green shirt, Pingping Tingting, has a light and elegant fragrance, and her voice is like tinkling spring water.

This Nascent Soul female cultivator had concern in her bright eyes, and she pursed her red lips, unable to speak.

"Excuse me Senior Brother Chen, Junior Sister Tian for your concern."

True Lord Qingmu quickly stood up and threw his hands at the two of them.

"With the help of sect Spirit Cleansing Pool, my cultivation level has been stabilized. It's just that it will take a year or two to recover to the peak of Nascent Soul Early Stage's heyday."

Compared with the calm and gentle look of the past, True Lord Qingmu's smile now seems a little far-fetched and a bit bitter.

"Senior brother Green Wood, when you Nascent Soul left your body and reshaped your body, why didn't you come back earlier. In this way, junior sister can take care of you as soon as possible and recover as soon as possible..."

Junior Sister Tian stared at him, with a hint of blame in her resentful tone.

Without the protection of the sect, Nascent Soul Spirit Body, who was left alone and seriously injured, would be quite risky in rebuilding his Dharmakaya, and he might encounter some accidents.

True Lord Qingmu smiled bitterly and explained:

"Alas, it's not that senior brother doesn't want to return to the sect as soon as possible. At that time, I was seriously injured by Soul Path Dharma Treasure and nearly collapsed. I was unable to cross the long distance and return to the Bishan Sect."

"Fortunately, I have a collection of Heaven and Earth Rare Wood, which is suitable for Wood Element Nascent Soul to reshape the legal body. In this way, there is no need to take away the body and reduce some risks."

When True Lord Qingmu practiced Wood Dao Avatar in his early years, he kept a small piece of precious Yi Wood as a spare.

The spiritual objects of heaven and earth that are suitable for reshaping the legal body are extremely rare and almost extinct in the world, and their value far exceeds the Nascent Soul Formation spiritual objects.

True Lord Qingmu was born through the death of Evergreen Art, and Yi Wood with a sufficient number of grades was cultivated.

"Senior brother Green Wood is so blessed! Rebuilding the Dharma body with the spiritual objects of heaven and earth that fit Cultivation Method has less sequelae than rebuilding it by taking the body and rebuilding it. It has greater potential. It is expected to impact Nascent Soul Middle Stage in the future."

Silver-haired Senior Brother Chen laughed loudly, helped True Lord Qingmu cover up and changed the subject.

True Lord Qingmu Why don't you come back soon?

I'm afraid I don't have 100% trust in the Bishan Sect.

Therefore, when he returned to the sect two years ago, his cultivation base initially recovered to the Nascent Soul Realm. Then he used the sect's Spiritual Qi resources to speed up his recovery to Law Power.

Junior Sister Tian understands this, so she is a little dissatisfied.

Many years ago, Green Wood saved her life when Central Region was hunting for treasure in a secret place, so she had a good impression of her.

Green Wood has a firm heart and is unfazed by favor or disgrace.

After dormant for many years, it shined brightly in Eastern Region Demonic Path War, allowing Bishan Sect to grow and become a powerful immortal cultivating sect under Ten Profound Sects.

Being together in the sect for a long time, experiencing hardships, discussing Daoism and practicing cultivation gradually made Junior Sister Tian's heart grow secretly.

Unfortunately, True Lord Qingmu is just like its Daoist Title, a piece of wood that does not understand the style.

He is devoted to cultivating Daoism, lives in seclusion, and has no reaction at all to the love between men and women.

Junior Sister Tian's true friendship was betrayed invisibly.

The three of them moved into the pavilion.

Senior Brother Chen, Junior Sister Tian asked about the specific causes and consequences.

"Junior brother Green Wood, you lost contact with us more than ten years ago, but you were injured by Eastern Region, the newly rising giant "True Lord Changqing"."

"Yes, it is this person!"

True Lord Qingmu took a deep breath and his eyes became cold.

When he thought of Lu Changqing and the war that year, his face became gloomy and his heart was filled with resentment.

If Wujian Gate's Nascent Soul assassin hadn't been behind the attack at the critical moment, he wouldn't have been defeated so miserably.

At least, there is a chance to collect the sword array, Law Treasure, fourth-level Roc Bird, and Wood Dao Avatar. The losses will not be so heavy.

Without these powerful means, even if he regains his peak cultivation level, his fighting skills will decline significantly.

After Nascent Soul escaped a certain distance, he cast a spell in the air to make Wood Dao Avatar and fourth-level Roc Bird self-destruct to avoid damaging the enemy.

Among them, the soul of the fourth-level Roc Bird was inexplicably destroyed before he cast the spell, possibly because he was destroyed by the terrifying Nail-Head Arrow.

"It's indeed True Lord Changqing!"

Senior Brother Chen is thoughtful.

The years when True Lord Qingmu disappeared were the period when True Lord Changqing was so powerful that Eastern Region was famous and Great Qing was famous.

He was not sure before, but now it seems that Junior Brother Green Wood should be the cultivator of the legendary <Evergreen Art>.

"Next time I fight this person, Senior Brother Green Wood must call my little sister."

There was a cold light in Junior Sister Tian's eyes.

She was in love with everyone, and she felt a little bad towards Lu Changqing, whom she had never met and only heard rumors about.

"Junior sister, please don't be alone and take action against that Lu Changqing! This person Divine Ability is unfathomable and extremely sinister and vicious."

True Lord Qingmu's complexion changed and he immediately warned.

Looking at True Lord Qingmu with a serious expression, Junior Sister Tian smiled:

"My little sister is not that stupid. If she really wants to take action, the three of us, brother and sister, will join forces to make her pay a heavy price."

"Speaking of which, is Divine Ability of True Lord Changqing really that powerful? Can it completely rival leader Demonic Sect?"

"The rumors are not exaggerated in the slightest."

True Lord Qingmu said solemnly.

"However, the three of us Nascent Soul have joined forces and with the help of the Zongzong treasure and the fourth-level formation, even if Lu Changqing is a little stronger, we can't attack it head-on."

Hearing this, Senior Brother Chen couldn't help but be shocked.

Junior brother Green Wood, whose strength is comparable to that of Nascent Soul Middle Stage, now only wants to defend passively and has no idea of taking the initiative to take revenge.

There was silence for a while.

Senior Brother Chen said in a deep voice, "Junior brother Green Wood must believe in the Bishan Sect, we will live and die together!"

"Thank you Senior Brother Chen."

True Lord Qingmu felt a warmth in his heart.

Facing an unprecedentedly powerful enemy, Bishan Sect and Nascent Soul Cultivator stood firmly on his side, right or wrong.

In his early years, he chose to join Bishan Sect, mainly because he was considering level four Spirit Vein and needed a stable and generous training environment.

He has many secrets of his own. As a righteous sect, Bishan Sect is not weak in strength but not too powerful like Ten Profound Sects, so it is a suitable choice.

Because of the many secrets and being too cautious, Green Wood did not ask Nascent Soul Cultivator of the Bishan Sect for help when dealing with Lan Chang'an.

"Senior Brother Chen and Seven Stars Temple have known each other for a long time and have a good friendship. Could you please ask him to do a favor for your junior brother?"

After deliberation for a long time, True Lord Qingmu took the initiative to request.

"Temple Master Mi's status is aloof, so Nascent Soul can't help but please. Senior brother, if I show my shame, I should be able to ask him to take action once."

Senior Brother Chen frowned slightly and said in confusion:

"Junior brother is meditating at the Bishan Sect. Is it possible that he still feels uneasy? No matter how strong Lu Changqing is, does he really dare to take action in Ten Profound Sects's sphere of influence?"

Seven Stars Temple's favor is very important and will only be used when Bishan Sect's life and death are at stake.

"My intuition tells me that Lu Changqing will never give up. This guy is unpredictable. Divine Sense is better than the ordinary Nascent Soul Middle Stage. Once "Green Profound Sword Formation" is refined, it will pose a huge threat."

True Lord Qingmu reveals part of the truth.

In the first battle that year, the terrifying Divine Sense of Lu Changqing suddenly surged at the critical moment, which left a deep impression on him.

Recently, he felt inexplicably uneasy.

Even if I am practicing in seclusion in a sect, I still feel uneasy.

True Lord Qingmu has repeatedly thought about the fiasco that year, including being ambushed earlier by the Demonic Sect, who joined forces to hunt him down, and were surrounded by dangers.

Finally, he came to a conclusion.

The two tragic defeats were both related to divination.

Behind Lan Chang'an, there is an ally of level four Divination Grandmaster.

After the defeat of Beast King Valley, this relationship is no longer a secret to the great power of Cultivation World.

Facing the calculations of the next-level Lan Chang'an and the fourth-level Divination Grandmaster, True Lord Qingmu does not feel safe enough even if he is hiding in the Bishan Sect.

Seven Stars Temple is a cultivating force that is good at astrological divination, and the related inheritance is the oldest in Great Qing.

With the power of Six Demonic Sects, Eastern Region has not been swept away so far, which is related to the behind-the-scenes promotion of Seven Stars Temple, one of Ten Profound Sects.

In past actions, Green Wood did not dare to alert Seven Stars Temple due to his own secrets, and even deliberately avoided contact.

But now, most of the secrets of <Evergreen Art> are known to the bosses of Ten Profound Sects. In order to resolve the unprecedented crisis, True Lord Qingmu cannot take into account all aspects.

"Senior brother Green Wood, you must use that favor..."

"OK!"

Half an hour later, Senior Brother Chen and Junior Sister Tian left one after another.

Junior sister Tian left later, her eyes filled with warmth, leaving behind a message Storage Bag:

"Senior brother Green Wood, you lost your protective body Law Treasure in the battle. There are two pieces of High-Grade Dharma Treasure in it, as well as several fourth-level Wood Element materials. Senior brother can use them to refine Law Treasure."

True Lord Qingmu took Storage Bag, hesitated to speak, and stared blankly at the graceful figure riding away in the wind.

He then left Spirit Cleansing Pool and returned to his Green Wood Forest cave.

"Divination Path..."

In the cave, True Lord Qingmu thought hard for a long time and could not find a way to break the situation.

The existence of the fourth-level Divination Grandmaster creates a permanent information gap between the enemy and ourselves.

He had a vague feeling in the Unseen that his physical body of Wood Dao Dharma Body did not completely die after the vitality was cut off.

Using this body as a medium, the fourth-level Divination Grandmaster calculated and tracked and made various calculations to gain an absolute advantage.

Fortunately for the shrunken Bishan Sect, he still has the ability to protect himself. Once he leaves the sect, the risk is difficult to predict.

He regretted that he had not made up his mind to study divination.

First, there is no qualification in this area.

On the other hand, most of his longevity is used to improve his combat power and cultivate spirit medicine spiritual wood. He also has good attainments in weapon refining and formations.

As the saying goes, there is something to be gained.

If he devotes a lot of energy to divination, he will not have the peak combat power of Changqing in the first battle and many life-saving trump cards.

"No one wants to give up everything they have been doing for hundreds of years unless they have no choice..."

True Lord Qingmu sighed deeply, spread his hands and took out a simple, yellowed map made of an unknown animal skin material.

The animal skin map outlines Great Qing, as well as the general terrain of more than ten surrounding areas, with interspersed routes and force markings.

In the Great Qing area, the terrain of the Black Mist Mountain Range is clearly visible.

There are only less than ten forces that can be marked on the animal skin map, including Taiyue Sect, Underworld Spring Sect, Xuanqing Sect, and Beast King Valley.

Among them, Taiyue Sect draws a light red circle.

Other major cultivating sects, including some sects of the Mystic Sect and Demonic Path, are not even qualified to be labeled.

Not to mention Dao Defense Alliance, Seven Nations Alliance and those lower-level Nascent Soul forces.

True Lord Qingmu's finger slowly moved across the animal skin map, passing through the boundaries of two adjacent states of Great Qing.

The adjacent map tiles are not very different, but there are large areas of desolate land and natural chasms between them, and the distance is extremely long.

In the end, True Lord Qingmu's finger landed on a state boundary where the plate far exceeded its surroundings and stood out from the rest.

The name is "Tianhe Province".

The map tile of this state boundary is several times larger than Great Qing.

On the map plate, a huge Heaven-Reaching River zone is clearly visible, connecting the huge territory of one state and dividing it into two.

Bishan Sect In the mountains and forests two thousand miles away.

A figure in a black robe and cloak blends into the shade of the tree.

"True Lord Qingmu's recovery speed is faster than expected. If this person is stuck in a shelter, he will really be in trouble."

Within Black Wind Cloak, Lan Chang'an calculated for a moment and frowned slightly.

A forceful attack is unrealistic.

A complete sect of cultivating immortals, with a complete fourth-level formation, many Nascent Souls in charge, and tens of thousands of disciples.

Even if Nascent Soul Great Cultivator wants to attack by force, it will still need to rely on the cultivating forces behind it.

Moreover, Lan Chang'an only has one chance to make a move.

Bishan Sect belongs to the Ten Profound Sects camp and is located in the hinterland of Central Region.

Once he takes action, no matter whether it is successful or not, Lan Chang'an will immediately offend Great Qing, the strongest alliance of cultivating forces.

If you evacuate slowly, you may be chased by Ten Profound Sects's Nascent Soul boss.

No matter how strong Divine Ability is, he is still weak in the land of Central Region.

Therefore, if you want to capture True Lord Qingmu, it is best to ambush him alone.

The second step is to sneak in and assassinate, which is a bad strategy and has high risks and variables.

Even if the assassination is successful, he may be entangled by the Bishan Sect and the other two Nascent Soul, and they may cooperate with the fourth-level formation to stay for a while to escape the trouble.

"When facing a Gou Dao monk, don't act too hastily."

Lan Chang'an is slightly distressed.

In the past, he relied on Gou to develop silently, surpass those darlings of the times, and then take revenge later.

Nowadays, he has absolute crushing strength, but the opponents he faces are stubborn and have no good chance to make a move.

Central Region is not your own territory after all.

Unlike Eastern Region who is in chaos and chaos, Central Region has order and peace, and the cost of attacking a righteous Nascent Soul is too high.

Even the fourth-level divination skills, Lan Chang'an and Central Region, must be used with caution and cannot be used unscrupulously.

Seven Stars Temple of Ten Profound Sects is the founder of Great Qing's divination practice.

Rumor has it that the patron of Seven Stars Temple may be able to touch the level of the fourth-level mid-level in the divination process.

In terms of technical strength, heritage, and divination sacred objects, they all surpass Lan Chang'an and Heavenly Master Zhong.

Therefore, before Lan Chang'an set off, he asked Fengyuan Heavenly Master to help him secretly.

Various factors make Lan Chang'an quite restricted in taking action on Central Region.

Half a day later.

After stepping on Lan Chang'an, return to Bishui City in the territory of the Bishan Sect.

This Immortal City is built by the lake and is the property of the Bishan Sect.

It has been two or three months since Lan Chang'an came to Central Region.

Previously, I changed my identity through Hundred Illusion Mask, and took the identity of False Core Rogue Cultivator, and settled in Bishui City to inquire about the news.

The disguised image of Lan Chang'an is that of monk False Core in a black robe and cloak. Ordinary monks cannot tell the reality of Black Wind Cloak at all.

He is not sure whether [Black Wind Cloak] has a certain shielding effect on the induction between Evergreen Dao Fruit, but it is definitely safer to wear it.

Central Region is a land with many famous mountains and rivers, and Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is more than superior to Eastern Region.

Overall, it is similar to Great Abyss Central Region.

Great Abyss Central Region Due to the destruction of Seal Demon Land and Ancient Battlefield, the cultivation environment in Great Abyss is the worst, and is not as good as other areas.

Return to Immortal City Inn.

Lan Chang'an meditates and becomes quiet, but cannot practice.

In order to isolate Evergreen Dao Fruit's induction, he banned Law Power, and even Nascent Soul sealed himself.

He can only take one shot at Central Region, not limited to True Lord Qingmu.

Fighting with any monk will cause Evergreen Dao Fruit to react, alarming True Lord Qingmu.

Fortunately, Lan Chang'an is also a cultivation body, with Puppet, Talisman, and fourth-level Spirit Pet. Law Power is not needed for ordinary troubles.

Inside the inn.

There are several pieces of Lan Chang'an floating around Divination Artifact. I have been calculating for a long time, but there is no good opportunity to break the situation.

"The Daoist monks are indeed difficult to deal with! If it takes a long time, I True Lord will not be able to practice. It is a waste of time..."

Lan Chang'an is not sure how long it can take.

With the help of Green Wood's corpse skin, the divination target has been locked and can be continuously tracked.

The problem is that the target can't come out, so there is currently no other entry point other than a strong attack or sneak assassination.

Fortunately, Lan Chang'an, as a similar monk, has enough patience.

He has to wait for a change, a good opportunity.

In a blink of an eye, it has been more than half a year since Lan Chang'an arrived at Great Qing Central Region.

Just as he expected.

True Lord Qingmu has been practicing in seclusion and does not go out at all.

Even the other two Nascent Soul did not leave the mountain gate.

On the other hand, monks Golden Core Realm and Foundation Establishment from the Bishan Sect went out to communicate and exchange favors, everything was normal.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Lan Chang'an did not attack monk Bishan Sect. He only secretly ingested a few breaths of Law Power to prepare for possible disguised infiltration in the future.

Wherever Lan Chang'an settled in Bishui City, there were monks Bishan Sect stationed there.

Through <Heavenly Demon Secret Art>, Lan Chang'an can sneak into the mind, trigger Inner Demon, and obtain some useful information.

Bishan Sect itself has no obvious flaws.

The three Nascent Soul members of this sect have a harmonious relationship.

After Eastern Region Demonic Path War showed great strength, True Lord Qingmu did not take over the throne and had no interest in the power of the sect. He still respected Bishan Sect's senior brother Nascent Soul.

True Lord Qingmu has not been rumored to have done anything wrong in the past, but he has a reputation for eradicating Demonic Path Evil Cultivator.

The reviews from all parties are very positive, and there are no definite negatives.

True Lord Qingmu He was alone, without any wives or concubines. dao companion There was not a single maidservant in the cave.

The affectionate disciple also does not exist.

True Lord Qingmu did not accept any disciples. He was originally a cultivator Lineage, but hundreds of years have passed and his blood relatives have long faded away.

"True Lord Qingmu, is a kind and lawful righteous monk?"

Lan Chang'an thought.

More than a hundred years ago, when Lan Chang'an moved to Great Abyss, Green Wood came to the Dao Defense Alliance and made significant contributions to Demonic Path War, helping to share the pressure.

Zhang Tianfeng has dealt with him, and even has some comradeship with him, and his evaluation is not bad.

Lan Chang'an could not be found at that time, and True Lord Qingmu did not take action against his old friends or descendants, causing disaster to Chi Yu and killing innocent people indiscriminately.

Until this day.

Lan Chang'an got a piece of information from the outside world and finally had an opportunity.

"Two years later, Central Region will hold a large-scale auction once every twenty years. The chamber of commerce held is said to have the background of Ten Profound Sects and "Taiyue Sect", and its reputation is guaranteed. At that time, not only the Central Region monks will participate, but Great Qing high-level monks from various domains will also come after hearing the news."

Lan Chang'an was overjoyed when he learned the news and made some calculations.

At first glance, this information has nothing to do with the Bishan Sect and True Lord Qingmu.

But Lan Chang'an knew that in the battle of Changqing that year, True Lord Qingmu's legal body was destroyed, and Law Treasure had no time to collect the protective body.

Green Profound Sword Formation, Thunder Wood Stake, Dragon Scale Armor, Profound Light Ancient Mirror, etc. all fell into the hands of Lan Chang'an.

Soul Path Dharma Treasure, destroyed and scrapped by Nail-Head Arrow.

It can be said that True Lord Qingmu and Law Treasure are basically completely lost.

"How can a Daoist monk miss the opportunity to develop if he loses his magic weapon to protect his way and his life-saving trump card? The highest-level auction in Daqing, many magic weapons, top-quality materials, spiritual objects from heaven and earth..."

Although Lan Chang'an seized Green Wood's Law Treasure and sword array, Storage Ring was taken away by Nascent Soul who had left his body.

Therefore, True Lord Qingmu still has certain financial resources and family resources to make a comeback and develop again.

"By then, even if True Lord Qingmu doesn't go out, Bishan Sect will probably have enough monks to participate. This is really a rare opportunity and breakthrough!"

Of course, Lan Chang'an itself also has great expectations and needs for Great Qing Central Region's top auction.

Mystic Water Turtle has cultivated to the top level of the third level and promoted Tier 4 Demon King's spiritual resources, but the preparations are not enough.

Seeking spiritual medicine for Mystic Water Turtle to achieve a breakthrough is another purpose of Lan Chang'an's trip to Central Region.
