When Lu Zhong came to his senses, the huge stone tablet was gone.
A burst of cheerful short music came, but Chun'er was dancing again, with no distractions and no desires, which made people feel envious.
Lu Zhong tried to communicate with her to see if he could get anything more.
It's a pity that it came back in vain.
Seeing this, he stopped trying any more.
According to the agreed content, Lu Zhong terminated the contract with Feng Rui. After the latter regained his freedom, his expression couldn't help but show a hint of relief. Thinking that he had obtained the true method of Jinpeng, Feng Rui even looked up to the sky and laughed. It took him a while to control his expression, and said to Lu Zhong:
"Thanks to Fellow Daoist Lu this time!"
Feng Rui's voice paused, and then he said:
"Regarding the restart of Naihe, seven of the nine major nodes are in the territory of your human race, scattered in the middle-earth and the east, west, north, and south. You can only communicate with Lu Daoyou. As for the remaining two nodes, the demon Tinghui will solve one, and I will also contact the Water Palace."
"That's it, it's time to work!" Lu Zhong said with cupped hands.
Feng Rui nodded, turned over his hand and took out the preaching jade plate, and quickly disappeared.
Lu Zhong stayed in place for a while, staring at the majestic golden tree in the distance and the white-robed figure under the tree. After his eyes flickered for a while, he also took out the preaching jade plate and silently recited three words of honor in his heart. His whole body was immediately enveloped by a golden light, preaching. Out of the land of immortality.
…
Return to Nanman.
Lu Zhong did not announce the Taichu Soul Returning Formation immediately.
To announce it hastily at this time is tantamount to setting fire to one's body. After all, even the cultivator of the Transformation God is helpless to do anything about it. If he announced a solution, it would be hard not to arouse doubts about whether he had obtained a heaven-defying opportunity.
After some careful consideration, Lu Zhong decided to speak slowly.
The collapse of Naihe is a long process, and it will not be short of the one or two hundred years. At least it will not be too late until he has cultivated to the state of "quasi-god transformation" and has the power to protect himself.
Sitting cross-legged in the quiet room, Lu Zhong looked at the starry sky above his head.
For some reason, he felt a little uneasy, as if something big was about to happen.
"strangeness……"
After thinking hard for a while, Lu Zhong did not think of the possible source of the uneasiness. Seeing that it was not a "whim" warning, he had to suppress it for the time being and concentrate all his energy on cultivation, hoping to perfect his magic power as soon as possible.
In his spare time during Qi refining, he did not focus on the Heaven-Mending Technique.
At the current stage, completing the "Five Elements Unification" ahead of schedule is completely blocking yourself, which will affect the speed of mana improvement.
Although the five spiritual roots cultivate a lot of mana, they do so at the expense of time.
This will affect the speed at which he enters the realm of "quasi-god transformation".
After much deliberation, Lu Zhong decided to major in Xiuli Qiankun Technique and assist in Repairing Heaven Technique.
As for other things, we will continue to push back.
Time flies, time flies.
Before I knew it, thirty years had passed.
During this period, Lu Zhong received a call from Tai Feng'er, and he immediately stopped retreating. He thought there was an emergency outside, but when he came out, he found out that it was Tianwen Jiuge and his son and daughter who were in seclusion. Not long ago, the foundations were successfully built.
Lu Zhong felt a little ashamed when he thought that he was always missing.
So after participating in the foundation ceremony, he deliberately spent half a year getting together with his family. This was not only to connect with each other, but also to make up for the shortcomings in his heart.
During the gathering, while Lu Zhong was enjoying the lingering relationship with Yu Feng'er, he also did not forget to care about the situation in the southern barbarians.
There was no chaos in the Demon Court, and he did not come out to stir up trouble. Thanks to the increase in spiritual energy concentration brought by the spiritual tide, the Nanman Immortal Cultivation World continued to prosper.
Everyone is immersed in the golden age of cultivation, and naturally no one will notice that Naihe, which determines the survival of Qinghe Realm, will collapse within a thousand years.
On this day, Lu Zhong looked happy.
It wasn't that he had made a breakthrough in his cultivation, but that after a long period of hard work, he finally succeeded in forming a singularity and developed the first level of the Qiankun magical power in his sleeves.
To be honest, he never expected that he could master the Qiankun Technique in his sleeves so quickly.
If we want to talk about the specific reasons, it is probably the result of the substantial improvement in the quality and quantity of computing power after advancing to the later stage of Yuanying and completing the integration of Yuanying and Yuanshen.
To perform the Qiankun Technique in the sleeve, you only need to recite the method silently in your mind. When you are not skilled, you can also use the seal technique to expand the singular point in the sleeve, thereby creating a temporary space.
Depending on the size of the space, the maintenance time is also different.
With his current strength, if he maintains a large space of 10,000 square meters, he can only sustain it for less than a quarter of an hour.
But if the temporary space is reduced to one side, it can last for at least three days.
The reason is that the larger the temporary space is, the more mana is needed to maintain the stability of the space. On the contrary, the consumption will be sharply reduced.
As for whether the space will be breached by the enemy.
Since the lower limit of space intensity far exceeds the upper limit of destruction of Yuanying monks, there is basically no possibility of being destroyed from the inside, unless the enemy has the means to break the space, but this method is unlikely to appear on Yuanying monks, or even In the hands of the cultivator.
Even if it does exist, it will be difficult to get rid of for a while, so there is no need to dwell too much on this issue.
After some experiments, Lu Zhong discovered that at the current stage, the Xiuli Qiankun Technique was of little use in fighting except for moving some supplies and showing his face in front of others.
Unless the enemy is lured into the universe space.
"Perhaps it can be forcibly tied in, just like trapping a person with a sedative chain, but if the person can be controlled, there is no need to throw him into the sleeve space."
Lu Zhong thought about it over and over, but couldn't think of a good application for a while.
Fortunately, Lu Zhong didn't put much hope in this. What he really cared about was whether the idea of using the collapse of the singularity as a trigger to exile the enemy into the void was actually feasible.
To this end, he was going to do an experiment.
Taking out a blank avatar, Lu Zhong stuffed a blank soul into it.
Then he started to cast a spell and quickly constructed a singularity. Due to the wrong position, the singularity collapsed immediately as soon as it appeared. There was no possibility of maintaining it, and it quickly expanded into a black hole.
A huge suction force was generated, sucking the avatar in instantly.
After taking over the incarnation, he found that he had indeed arrived in the void.
"Sure enough, it's feasible!" Lu Zhong said happily.
Just like the description in the classics, the void looks colorful and is filled with a large number of space storms. The storms will tear apart everything along the way, and only a few places are safe zones.
After watching curiously for a while, Lu Zhong had no idea of exploring.
According to classic records, the void outside the Qinghe boundary is the territory of the demon.
An incarnation without the ability to protect itself is like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth in a place like this. Losing an incarnation is nothing to him, it is just a few million spirit stones. The main reason is that the demon's ability is strange and changeable, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be a way to affect the body through incarnation.
So he let the avatar blow himself up.
As his consciousness returned to his original form, Lu Zhong could not hide his excitement. He was thinking silently: "If you can banish the enemy into the void, this method is called the 'Void Banishment Technique'!"
In this way, he has another trump card in his hand.
If you encounter a difficult enemy in the future, you might be able to use this to get rid of them, or banish the opponent to the void in the future.
The only disadvantage of doing this is probably that the harvest will be greatly reduced.
Also, if he wants to fight against the cultivator of the God Transformation, this may be his only chance.
…
Time continues to pass.
Spring goes and spring comes again, flowers fade and bloom again.
In the blink of an eye, another five years have passed.
After completing the practice of magical powers, Lu Zhong focused his energy on cultivation.
In the later stage of Nascent Soul, the demand for elixirs increased again. Even the Six-Yang Tan Zhendan was unable to keep up with his pace and could not maximize the speed of cultivation improvement.
At this time, new elixirs suitable for the late Nascent Soul stage are needed.
Lu Zhong didn't have any good solution to this problem.
After all, he started from scratch and was not as profound as the Immortal Sect.
There are only two solutions.
Or, as before, through transactions with the Guimiao Immortal Sect, in exchange for usable pill prescriptions.
Lu Zhong estimated that this road would most likely be impassable.
As a necessary part of the Immortal Sect's maintenance of its status, leaking the late-stage Nascent Soul elixir to the outside world is a special elixir that does not require the elixir of heaven and earth. It is an act of subsidizing the enemy.
If it had been a while ago, when the Gui Miaozong was busy dealing with the death wave, there might have been a chance of a successful exchange, but now based on the incarnation returns sent by Lu Zhong to the Central Plains, the Gui Miaozong had already achieved an initial victory in the defensive battle.
As long as they clear away the lost souls and ghost cultivators in the territory, the disaster can be solved.
This is particularly evident in material transactions.
As early as half a year ago, Daomen Yifang had slowed down its acquisition speed, so that some materials on the market began to oversupply, and then a bad market appeared. Under this situation, some family clans became insolvent and went bankrupt.
Putting his divergent thoughts back, Lu Zhong felt that his hope could only be placed on spiritual energy transformation technology.
"It's a pity that the Western Alliance has invested a lot of resources, although the population has increased significantly, and even at my request, it has been transformed into a system specializing in scientific research, but technological breakthroughs are still far away, and currently it is only in Based on the current foundation, we have made progress in improving it.”
Lu Zhong couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this.
The road is difficult, and it is indeed not easy to take further steps.
Even if he finds another way to control the source of resources through the sect, and has the secret formation technology of creation to solve the problem of cultivating resources, there are still many difficulties to face.
Sometimes, Lu Zhong really wishes he was an Immortal Sect monk.
There is a big Xianzong tree behind to enjoy the shade, and all you have to do is climb up. Although this is not easy, and intrigues and power struggles are not easy, it is still better than going through the thorns alone.
After sitting quietly for a while, Lu Zhong calmed down.
At present, the Qiankun Technique in the sleeve has just been completed, and it is not realistic to continue to practice the second level. This requires the construction of seventy-two auxiliary nodes based on the first level of singularity.
With his current computing power.
It is estimated that it will take thousands of years to master the second level of Qiankun Technique in the sleeves.
What you give is not proportional to what you get.
After careful consideration, Lu Zhong decided to give up.
After thinking about it, he decided to change his major and complete his spiritual roots first. Completing the "Five Elements Unification" in advance will certainly hinder the improvement of cultivation, but who makes it the best choice at present.
About the cultivation of acquired spiritual roots.
The principle is to rely on a "singular point", which is also called the source root in the Tianbu Jue. Using the source root as the base point, supplemented by the method to shape the magic power, and the continuous nourishment of the Tianbu liquid, it can Let the source of roots continue to "grow" and eventually turn into acquired spiritual roots.
Only by understanding it deeply can we know its defiance.
"If we can master its principles, we can probably cultivate artificial spiritual roots, right?" Lu Zhong couldn't help but think this way.
Starting from this, we can also make a bold guess. Perhaps in the upper world, spiritual roots may not be a restriction on entering the immortal path. Mortals can purchase artificial spiritual roots as long as they want to practice.
If this idea can come true, it will really be the advent of the era of "everyone is like a dragon".
Of course not necessarily, refer to the knowledge monopoly in the lower realm.
Perhaps, the emergence of artificial spiritual roots is not a good thing for people in the upper world.
Only those in the upper realm can know the specific details.
…
A few months later, a deserted island off the coast of Chaosheng Cave.
Two figures emerged quietly, a man and a woman.
The male cultivator looks like a middle-aged man with black hair, wearing a moon-yellow robe and carrying a huge sword box on his back. It can be seen that he is a sword cultivator.
The female cultivator who was traveling with him was a woman with a cold face and a frost pattern between her eyebrows. Even if she did nothing, she could still freeze the surrounding air.
If a monk from the East Sect of Middle Earth were here, he would be able to recognize the origins of these two people. They are Fang Daoyun, the "True Lord of Ten Thousand Swords", known as the two pillars of Dongyuan Immortal Palace, and Yan Lianxing, the "True Lord of Xuanbing". The two suppressed Dong Zong for more than a thousand years, and their fame has long been resounding throughout China.
"Brother, this is indeed the sea outside Chaosheng Cave. The target Lu Zhong's retreat is three thousand miles away."
Yan Lianxing made some calculations and confirmed that the two of them had not come to the wrong place. Then he looked at Fang Daoyun who was traveling with him and said in a calm tone, "Should we kill them directly, or should we find a place to investigate first..."
"It's too risky to act rashly. Let's go to Bidaofang City to investigate first."
Fang Daoyun looked at the whirlpool of spiritual energy in the distance and knew that there was something wrong with the information given by the sect. Lu Zhong was still in the middle stage of Yuanying. He had clearly advanced to the late stage of Yuanying.
Consider this person's past performance.
Even if his uncle Cang Mingzi gave him a treasure, he didn't think they could succeed in one fell swoop.
It's better to make a decision and then act.
The two figures flashed and disappeared immediately.
…
Half an hour later.
Fang Daoyun and Yan Lianxing appeared in Bidaofang City.
With the cultivation level of the two, they can use the breath-containing disguise spell. Even if the Jindan real person checks, they will not be able to find their flaws. Naturally, they can walk on the street with arrogance.
Walking in the bustling central street, even Fang Daoyun, who has always had a very high vision, has to admit at this moment that Bidaofang City can already be ranked among the top 100 in China in terms of scale alone. Compared with some fairy cities in China that do not live up to their names, , which is no less generous.
"I heard that True Lord Xingyang was just a casual cultivator at first..."
"It's just luck, and we are in a foreign land like the Southern Barbarians. With such a background in China, our future achievements are destined to be limited." Yan Lianxing said nonchalantly.
What she said was not unreasonable.
Under the control of the aristocratic sects, the monk class in Middle-earth has long been solidified, and all interests have been divided up. Later, even if the casual cultivators join the sect, without the background and power support, no matter how outstanding their talents are, they will hardly have a chance to get ahead without sufficient opportunities for growth.
Because today, all the world lacks are resources.
Just like the two of them, their qualifications at the same time were not outstanding, but with the support of the forces behind them, they still defeated a series of competitors and firmly occupied the second pillar seat. Although they were not as good as the chief Tian Xingzi, they were still Tian Xingzi. The leader of Yuanxian Palace.
Yan Lianxing knew deep down that the reason why the two of them were able to rise to prominence was not only due to their own talent and hard work, but also mainly because of their sufficient resources.
Without resources, we may still be trapped in the early stage of Nascent Soul.
