Lu Zhong's perception was so sharp that he launched a counterattack the moment Zasu made his move.
Thunder roared, purple thunder light erupted from his body, and a thunder net blasted out in an instant. At the same time, the green and white moonlight shone, and a mini sword took shape between the palms of the hands.
The sword light flashed, and he rushed out following the thunder net.
By the time the thunder net broke through the torrent of sword energy, the sword light had already rushed in front of Zasu.
Clang——!
On Zasu's majestic face, a golden scepter suddenly appeared in his hand, flashing with a dark light, and collided with the incoming moonlight sword.
In an instant, smoke and dust filled the sky.
There were even invisible shock waves scattered in all directions, rolling up thousands of iron flowers.
"Not weak at all."
Lu Zhong's expression became serious.
We have just met the second Zasu, and its strength is already close to that of Lianxu. I really can’t imagine what kind of monsters we will encounter if we continue to go deeper into the virtual world.
"Boom!"
After the brewing of miscellaneous ingredients was completed, he waved his scepter and a storm of iron flowers swept across.
However, in front of Lu Zhong's thunder method, even if it is as powerful as the tide, it is as fragile as a candle in the wind.
A flash of lightning broke through the storm instantly.
Xu Shi saw the second face, but he couldn't do anything to Lu Zhong. There was a new change in the miscellaneous factors. The childish face slowly opened, and both pupils were dark, faintly reflecting Lu Zhong's appearance.
"Plop!"
In an instant, Lu Zhong felt that the surroundings were black and white.
Tinnitus, accompanied by a loud heartbeat.
Just when he was puzzled and trying to figure out what happened, a strong golden light suddenly emitted from his body, all coming from the position of the sea of consciousness, and soon a seed floated out.
Golden color, exuding pure luster.
Or took root, turning everything around it golden.
"This is... the true form of the Heavenly Sword Killing Sword?"
Lu Zhong looked in disbelief.
He had made a lot of guesses about this before, either it was a weapon forged by a real immortal, or it was a treasure transformed from an immortal creature, but he never thought that the original body was so simple, just a seed.
It seems unremarkable.
If it weren't for the golden light, it would be as common as the tree species in the wilderness.
When the golden color infects the surrounding area, all the black and white colors fade away, and the plain of iron flowers is replaced by a sea of golden flowers. The three-faced flower has disappeared, and only a single golden seedling remains.
Next to it, there was a small fragment scattered.
It is Tianyuan that Lu Zhong has longed for.
The quantity is not much, only one-tenth of the previous share.
Even so, he was still excited.
"It seems that what Ye Panyan said is true. It is indeed possible to obtain Tianyuan by relying on the virtual world, and the characteristics of the target are also very obvious, that is, the powerful and strange miscellaneous elements."
In other words, Lu Zhong is equivalent to having a "Tianyuan mineral vein" in his hands.
The remaining question is how to dig it out.
There will be no answer for a while.
What Lu Zhong is most concerned about right now is whether such changes in the Tiandao Killing Sword will affect the shape of reality.
Without further ado, he immediately recited Yeyouyin silently and exited the virtual world.
...
In a quiet room.
As soon as Lu Zhong came back, he immediately looked at himself.
As a result, he breathed a sigh of relief. In reality, the Heavenly Killing Sword remained as normal as ever, and did not change correspondingly due to its emergence in the virtual world.
"Maybe I was wrong."
Lu Zhong remembers it clearly.
Existences in the void world must obtain entities if they want to appear in the real world.
Obviously, the killing sword is the so-called entity.
As for why it appears in the form of a seed in the virtual world, and how will this change your exploration of the virtual world? Lu Zhong felt that it was very necessary to investigate this point in depth.
After deducing the future, Lu Zhong determined that he would not be in danger if he entered the virtual world.
Only then did he enter the virtual world again.
Different from before, this time after he came in, the scene in front of him was no longer weird at all. Instead, it was like the real world and extremely consistent with the cognition of real creatures.
"The feeling this place gives me..."
Lu Zhong quickly found the answer, and it seemed like a fairyland he had been to.
"That's right! It's the land of immortals!"
His eyes moved to the palm-sized golden seedling in front of him. He sat cross-legged and thought about it, and the giant golden tree inadvertently appeared in his mind.
Could it be that the sapling in front of me is likely to grow to that extent in the future?
Not impossible.
Without further thinking, Lu Zhong was more concerned about the benefits that the sprouting of tree seeds could bring to him.
Try to communicate, shed blood to recognize the master...
After exhausting all means, he failed to achieve anything.
"Actually, it's not really true..."
Lu Zhong moved his gaze to the surroundings and found that the fog here had receded a lot. Compared with the initial range of ten miles, it had expanded more than a hundred times. At the same time, the space was also extremely stable.
"Doesn't this mean that when I enter the virtual world in the future, I will be fixed in the same position?"
For Lu Zhong, this is definitely a good thing.
A fixed starting point for exploration means that he can start from the saplings in the future and explore the surroundings in a planned manner, instead of relying on luck like Dao League monks in the past.
So much so that the map provided has basically no reference value.
...
After returning from the virtual world, Lu Zhong suppressed his excitement.
After some breathing exercises.
He then took out a small piece of Tian Yuan he had harvested. After examining it carefully for a while, he determined that there was no danger hidden in it, and then he incorporated it into the Yuan Shen for refining.
The transformation of the soul, which had been stagnant, has begun the process again.
Lu Zhong carefully estimated that if he refined this piece of Tian Yuan, his cultivation level would increase a lot. With the results of previous cultivation, he would have already passed one-third of the initial stage of refining the void.
Once more Tian Yuan is collected, the middle stage of Void Refining can be expected.
Lu Zhong spent the next days in seclusion.
During this period, he tried many times to explore the virtual world, but every time he was in vain.
This is normal.
If Tian Yuan is so easy to obtain in the virtual world, then this thing will not be so scarce in reality that the upper sects will publish false news to kill the treasure collectors to prevent the treasure from leaking out.
It is destined that you will not come in a hurry, so you can only figure it out slowly.
On the other hand, Lu Zhong discovered an interesting thing. He had returned to the virtual world many times. After calming down the virtual space, the saplings would assimilate it and turn it into an existence like a fairyland.
He didn't know what changes this would bring to the saplings.
But from a personal perspective, it should be a good thing.
...
Time flies, and thirty years pass by in an instant.
For Void Refining cultivators, the concept of time has long been diluted. After all, their lifespans are often tens of thousands of years, making it difficult for them to perceive events that repeat countless times.
The body will instinctively ignore it.
After some retreat, the harvest is not small.
In addition to the further transformation of the soul, the mana has also increased significantly.
Compared with when he first started practicing Xu, his strength has been greatly improved. As an immortal cultivator who follows the orthodox path, if he faces those Void Refining monks who take shortcuts, he has the strength to cross over and kill those in the late stage of Void Refining.
On this day, Lu Zhong had just finished his daily homework.
Sit in the pavilion and enjoy the dishes carefully prepared by the chef.
Suddenly, a brilliance appeared on the tabletop.
Like the moon covering the veil, the bright white glow gradually recedes.
Only a piece of silver paper was left.
Looking at the signature on it, Lu Zhongben's calm mood suddenly stirred up huge waves.
"Yueyinzi!"
What is the purpose of this person's special trip to send me a message?
Nominally, he is the chief of Taiyin.
But he has not actually entered the Taiyin Gate Wall, he is just an outsider.
With doubts in his heart, he looked at the content on the paper. His expression was as solemn as water at first, and then turned into a face full of doubts. According to Yue Yinzi, this is something that is a little troublesome to do, but may gain a lot of benefits.
"Beiyang Conference."
Lu Zhong recited this word and remembered that he had heard it somewhere. He searched his memory carefully and quickly remembered: "By the way, the Beiyang Conference was mentioned in the Tuhuang Palace newspaper..."
When talking about the Beiyang Conference, a geographical concept must be mentioned.
That is, including the Fengyuan Realm and the surrounding Immortal Cultivation Realm, they all actually belong to the category of Beiyang.
The so-called Beiyang refers to the land in the north of Linghuan Realm.
The Beiyang Conference is held once every ten thousand years.
Before the Tao Alliance collapses, it is a good way for a new sect to emerge and obtain more sect resources. Thirty thousand years later, Lu Zhong is puzzled by Yue Yinzi's behavior.
As a person suspected of being in the "tribulation period", it is impossible for the other party not to know that the Taoist alliance has collapsed.
Even so, he was required to participate on behalf of the Taiyin Sect.
There must be some deep meaning in it.
However, even if it was a sea of swords and fire, Lu Zhong was still prepared to go there. Gai Yin Yueyinzi revealed in the letter that although the Beiyang Conference in this world is special, it is also full of opportunities for Xiao Lianxu.
Crossing the Void Lotus is one of them.
Lu Zhong had heard about the famous name of this thing many times in: the classics of the Daomeng Cardinal Academy, the Taiyin Immortal Sutra of the Taiyin Sect, and the Tuhuang Palace newspaper.
When it comes to the Void Refining stage, if there are any elixirs from heaven and earth, it can be helpful to the monks at this stage.
That would undoubtedly be Crossing the Void Lotus.
Its effect is neither ordinary nor ordinary.
It can play the role of increasing Tianyuan.
To put it simply, when refining Tian Yuan, if you take and use it together with Duxu Lotus, you can get one part of Tian Yuan and use it as two parts, and produce the effect of one plus one, which is greater than two.
How can people not desire such a divine thing?
And now, Lu Zhong has such an opportunity.
...
About the North Central Conference.
In essence, it is a knockout match where the winner is the winner.
Once the conference begins, a powerful Xumi Mustard Seed flying boat will be dispatched to patrol the various realms of immortality and pick up each participant on board.
Those who board the ship only represent those who are qualified to participate.
Whether you can reach the finish line depends on your strength.
Must defeat all challengers.
Only those who have the last laugh are eligible to participate in the Beiyang Conference. As a reward for participating in the conference, you will naturally get many benefits, one of which is the Crossing Void Lotus.
"Even if the Taoist alliance collapses and the immortal way is no longer the same, the value of the Crossing Void Lotus lies here. I am afraid that none of the opponents I have to face are ordinary people. Where is the trouble?"
"That's all, one risk, one gain."
Lu Zhong knew that opportunities and risks coexisted, and decided to improve his strength as much as possible.
There are still five hundred years left until the Beiyang Conference is held. If he could use it properly and obtain more Tian Yuan from the virtual world, he might be able to break through to the middle stage of virtual refining.
Stronger strength means more hope of winning.
...
After some repairs, Lu Zhong was ready to enter the virtual world again and explore to obtain Tianyuan.
Unexpectedly, someone came to visit outside.
The visitor was unexpected by Lu Zhong, but in fact it was reasonable. It was Ye Panyan, a monk from the Taoist Alliance whom he had just met. The latter's sudden visit was obviously for urgent matters.
Welcoming him to the hall, they took their seats respectively.
After some meaningless pleasantries.
Ye Panyan changed the topic and revealed his intention by the way, saying mysteriously: "Fellow Taoist, now I have an opportunity to give you!"
When Lu Zhong heard this, his expression did not change at all.
Give me an opportunity?
He never expected or thought that pie would fall from the sky.
Seeing Lu Zhong looking at him with a half-smile but not a smile, Ye Panyan was worthy of being an old cultivator. His expression showed no embarrassment at all. He smiled and said: "Fellow Taoist, don't misunderstand. Opportunities always coexist with risks. This is what I'm talking about." No exception."
"I wonder if you have ever heard of the Beiyang Conference?"
"I heard something." Lu Zhong said quietly.
At this moment, I was muttering in my heart that Ye Panyan suddenly came to the door for this matter. Is it possible that the Taoist Alliance, which is supposed to have been destroyed, still has any thoughts on this matter?
On the other side, Ye Panyan continued:
"It's good to know that the reward for successfully participating in the meeting is Duxu Lotus. I guess fellow Taoists also know it, right? This is a rare treasure of heaven and earth that can be used in the Void Refining Stage. Obtaining it can greatly increase the effectiveness of Tianyuan. And said If you can help me and successfully participate in the Beiyang Conference, when the event is completed, Crossing the Void Lotus can give you a 10% share."
Hearing this, Lu Zhong smiled secretly in his heart. This man was really good at planning.
If it hadn't been for Yue Yinzi's letter first, he might have really agreed to the deal proposed by Ye Panyan after some haggling and reaching the price he expected.
However, he could also see from this that the Beiyang Conference was probably not simple.
Otherwise, Ye Panyan would not have come to the door on his own initiative like he did now.
In the end, Lu Zhong declined the invitation and sent Ye Panyan out.
After seeing off the people, he turned around and came to the quiet room.
According to the previous plan, continue to explore the virtual world.
...
After spending decades drawing a huge map, Lu Zhong already had a rough guess as to where he was currently in the virtual world.
If there are no accidents, it should be close to the Netherworld.
It was precisely because of this factor that the miscellaneous elements he encountered were so bizarre, and there was a huge gap between them and the records in the books given by the Dao League.
According to the information obtained by the Dao Alliance, the Youyuan Domain is more twisted than the Night Tour Domain.
With this thought in his mind, Lu Zhong quickly entered the virtual world.
Regarding this exploration, he is planning to head west, which is the direction of the center of the night tour area. Perhaps doing so can reduce the dangers encountered along the way and discover something at the same time.
Half a month later, in a dark jungle.
Lu Zhong spit out thunder and fire, burning the dog-like miscellaneous elements in front of him.
After Guixu was completed, he took a photo with his finger, and there were gleaming particles of light in his hand, which turned out to be a large sesame seed. Such a harvest has been repeated more than ten times in the jungle in front of him.
at this time.
"boom!"
The ground suddenly shook and shook violently.
The ground rose up, and a huge thing appeared, knocking the land into the air dozens of feet high. It slowly revealed its figure, but its image was similar to the dog-like creature it stood on before, but its size increased hundreds of times. of giant impurities.
Lu Zhong narrowed his eyes slightly, knowing that his opponent was coming.
