To find out the reason behind it. Lu Zhong thought for a while and decided to send three avatars to investigate the matter. Speaking of which, as his cultivation level reaches the late stage of integration, the total number of external incarnations has also increased a lot, and will be close to five digits.
But Lu Zhong also felt something. I'm afraid this number is already his limit. The reason lies in the law.
In essence, magical powers are actually the use of pseudo-laws, but they are simplified by immortals and presented in the form of magic, with all kinds of incredible features.
Like a famous one
"Shrinking the ground into an inch" is a type of space teleportation. It's just that compared to the monks in the integration stage who have mastered this kind of law-mimicking ability, the monks who use magical powers are more like a fool's operation. They only know how to use it, but they don't know the reason, let alone change it according to their wishes.
The same is true for external incarnations. Know how it is, but don’t know why it is so. The final result is that it is easy to hit the upper limit.
After arranging things, Lu Zhong turned his attention to his cultivation. Breaking through to the current late stage of integration, although the effectiveness of Xiaolong Shengdan has not been reduced much, the huge magical power that will be accumulated in the future will undoubtedly make the efficiency of improving cultivation lower.
This can be said to be a common problem faced by high-level monks.
"Looking for a suitable new recipe should be put on the agenda..." Such a scene has a familiar feeling of déjà vu.
Lu Zhong thought about it carefully and found that he had really been in this kind of situation since he set foot on the path to immortality.
The "circular dilemma" keeps repeating the same mistakes. Every time you improve your strength, you will encounter difficulties in improving your cultivation.
It took a lot of effort to solve it. Once you break through, you will immediately face the same problem.
"This is to solve a difficult problem." Lu Zhong smiled calmly and put it behind him. Just follow common sense and know that the elixir that can meet the needs of the monks in the late stage of integration must be very precious.
Therefore, it is either a treasure of a large family; or, it becomes a lost treasure in a secret realm.
"The key point is that most of these great forces with long inheritance have become Holy Land forces because of the fallen immortals coming to the world. If you want to get from them, I am afraid that it is far more than just a hemorrhage. Ninety-nine percent of them have other requirements." Thinking of this, Lu Zhong sent an incarnation of Xuan Cang Fortress to try to contact Ye Panyan.
The Dao League may have an answer to this matter. ...
"Fellow Daoist Lu, regarding the matter you mentioned... there is indeed something interesting about Panyan. It is called 'Three Apertures and Eight Treasures Pill'. In the past when the Taoist Alliance was still in power, it was used as a secret pill. Used to train elite monks in the alliance."
"Although this elixir has a lot of troubles, its effectiveness is indeed extraordinary. Moreover, as something that the Taoist Alliance alchemist has painstakingly studied, it also has the advantage of being easy to obtain spiritual materials. It is a pity that such a treasure also disappeared with that big battle. It's difficult, but unfortunately it was lost." At this point, Ye Panyan made a magic spell.
Suddenly, a light curtain appeared. Lu Zhong glanced at it, his expression changed slightly, and he felt that it looked very familiar.
After taking a closer look, he immediately recognized the location in the light curtain.
"Is this... the Xiaoling World?"
"Yes, it is this world." Ye Panyan closed the light curtain and continued: "There were originally many backup copies of this elixir recipe. Unfortunately, after the Tao Alliance collapsed, a series of events destroyed the backup copies. They, Either they disappeared with the fall of Tiandao City, or they completely disappeared from the world with the destruction of the Alchemy Palace..." Both Tiandao City and Dan Palace were important places of the Taoist Alliance.
This is the place where Tao Alliance keeps its secrets. But just like the fate of most secret places, both places were destroyed by treasure-hunting monks who smelled the fishy smell and swarmed to them for one purpose or another.
In addition, the Taoist Alliance's secret methods are difficult for ordinary people to understand. Without sufficient authority, they can only choose violent methods. Therefore, a large number of important classics were triggered to self-destruct before they fell into the hands of the treasure-hunting monks.
The Three Apertures and Eight Treasure Pills are just an insignificant item among them. Lu Zhong also knew what Ye Panyan said.
It's just that I have never studied it carefully before. After all, the collection of classics in the Third Cardinal Academy alone is as vast as a vast ocean. If they were to be studied carefully, I don’t know how much effort it would take.
On Ye Panyan's side, the conversation suddenly changed.
"Fortunately, one of the elixir prescriptions was left behind by the then deputy master of the elixir palace, who followed Senior Guan in his expedition to Huangquan Dao, and left it behind in Xiaolinghuanjie." As he spoke, he fired a light curtain again.
There was clearly a document on it, stamped with the seal of the Third Council of Cardinals. The content on the paper is a list of people going to the expedition. The leader is naturally the immortal envoy Guan Daozi, followed by a long list of names, each with their respective positions.
"...Deputy Master of Dan Palace, Yuchi Palace?" Lu Zhong thought for a while and found that he did not have this document in his memory.
Obviously, this is what Ye Panyan collected from other places.
"To tell you the truth, I got this document thousands of years ago, and I was excited about it for a while. The Three Apertures and Eight Treasure Pills were definitely the top secret treasures of the Tao Alliance. If I could get them, it would no longer be possible to cultivate a large number of high-level monks. That's the problem." What he said was true, the Three Apertures and Eight Treasure Pills indeed had this power.
"It's a pity, alas..." Seeing Ye Panyan speaking, he began to sigh. Lu Zhong knew why he was like this, and it was naturally because of Huang Quan Dao.
In the past, Guan Daozi failed and failed to defeat Huangquan Dao, which led to the series of things that happened to him in the Xiaoling World.
Now that such a long time has passed, it would not be surprising even if Huang Quan Dao defeated all the evil forces over there and occupied Xiao Ling Huan Realm.
When I asked, it turned out to be true.
"If I'm not wrong, the elixir prescription should be restored to the ground. It's just that I want to get it, but I'm afraid it's not easy at all." Ye Panyan explained: "Huangquan Dao and Immortal Dao, although they have the same method and the same source, they are the same tree. The branches that grow, but fellow Taoists have had previous experiences, and they must also know that the Huangquan monks will regard us immortal cultivators as mortal enemies." This is a dispute between the Taoist lineage, which cannot be eliminated.
Recalling the past, Lu Zhong couldn't help but nodded in agreement: "What my fellow Taoist said is true, the underworld monks do regard us as enemies, and the laws of the immortal way and the laws of the underworld are in conflict with each other. Go to a place like that, If you really want to find the elixir, I'm afraid you have to solve this problem first." He has experienced it firsthand.
Under the suppression of the underworld's law, the monk's power has declined severely.
"About this point, Taoist friends don't know anything." Ye Panyan spoke at this time. Seeing Lu Zhong's confusion, he smiled and explained: "The law suppresses only a small part of the power that comes from the immortal way. It seems that The pseudo-laws that we, the monks in the integration period, have mastered through hard training, are the manifestation of the supreme principles of heaven and earth. This part of our strength truly belongs to us, and is something that can be captured by the law."
"Is there such a thing?" Lu Zhong couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard the large amount of information contained in the words. If you follow Ye Panyan's words, the structure of the immortal cultivation system in this world is worth pondering.
He understood that the part that could be suppressed by the law came from the accumulation of spiritual energy, and this was the foundation of the entire system of cultivating immortals.
If they were foreign objects, wouldn't it be... A conjecture flashed through Lu Zhong's mind. Aura, unnatural!
Just thinking of this, he suddenly shuddered in his heart. Good guy! Is it possible that this immortal way is due to the Taoist Son of Heaven?
If you think about it this deeply, it makes perfect sense. After all, as far as he knows so far, in addition to the immortal system, there are many real heretics in the world.
The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became. Lu Zhong did not dare to continue thinking deeply, and turned to look at Ye Panyan with a wry smile: "These words of Taoist friend almost caused my Taoist heart to collapse! If there is similar information in the future, please inform me in advance, don't Let’s stop being such a childish person.”
"Hahaha!" Ye Panyan laughed.
"Fellow Taoist should have understood this a long time ago. But it's not too late to understand it now. It's better to suddenly realize it when you pass through the tribulation and ascend."
"That's true." Lu Zhong half agreed and half thanked him. At the same time, he also understood something in his heart.
Why did Guan Daozi remind himself in the first place that he wanted to take the path that was not like Da Luo but was very similar to Da Luo, far deviating from the orthodox path of immortality, to become the only true immortal?
"This is an era of decadence!" Lu Zhong thought of this sentence again. What is it that is so decadent?
God's way! The Supreme Yuanshi Heavenly Lord; the Creation Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Lord; the Yumiao Moral Heavenly Lord; the Son of Heaven! It is precisely because of this decadence that the ancient golden age passed away, and Immortalism ushered in the current era of ill-fated destiny.
Without thinking any more, Lu Zhong looked at Ye Panyan and glanced at the golden tree blessing mark on his hand, feeling his cultivation in the late stage of integration: "Since the underworld's laws suppress you and me, why haven't fellow Taoists Is there any trouble in retrieving the three orifices and eight treasure pills?"
"That's right." Ye Panyan's expression became serious and he said slowly: "After Huangquan Dao invaded and occupied Xiaolinghuan Realm, the next target must be Linghuan Realm, descending to the world to launch a battle of Taoism. If something unexpected happens, this battle will It won’t be long before it starts.”
"So, when you go to the Xiaoling World, you will face thousands of enemies!"
"And under the influence of Huangquan Law, Xuancang Fortress will definitely be greatly suppressed. It is Yifa who will face the thousands of troops of Huangquan Dao alone." Lu Zhong nodded after hearing this.
According to the information he collected and the news flowing out from many holy places, there are indeed signs of the invasion of Huangquan Dao in Linghuan Realm.
It's just that no force can be sure when Huang Quan Dao will launch this war.
"The battle of Taoism, with those fallen immortals standing in the way, will inevitably end in consequences. However, this incident is a great opportunity. When Huangquan Dao descends to the world in a big way, there will definitely be an empty space behind it." Ye Panyan said.
"Waiting until then will be the best chance to obtain the pill recipe!" Then he revealed his plan.
It's very simple, take advantage of the massive invasion of Huangquan Dao to launch a counter-invasion into Xiaolinghuan Realm. According to Ye Panyan's inference, that picture
The "Three Apertures and Eight Treasures Pills" pill formula, after the accident of the former deputy master of the Daomeng Pill Hall, should still keep his alchemy place.
"This place is located in the secret realm of Shengdao Mountain. It was written by Senior Guan. It is expected that with the ability of Huangquan Dao monks, it will be extremely difficult to discover its existence. If we can successfully enter this secret realm, we can obtain the alchemy recipe left by the deputy master of the Alchemy Palace. ." After listening to Ye Panyan's words, Lu Zhong looked thoughtful.
"It's worth a try." Thinking of this, he made an agreement with Ye Panyan. If the Huangquan Dao really invades, they will send monks to join the Dao Alliance, and then use the Xuancang Fortress to launch a counter-invasion and seize the Danfang in one fell swoop.
Ended the conversation with Ye Panyan. Lu Zhong slowly opened his eyes, his eyes thoughtful.
"Although the Danfang matter has some clues, for the sake of safety, we cannot place all our hopes on it. We still need to collect the necessary information." Thinking of this, he decided to assign some avatars to take charge of this matter.
Even though I don’t even have hope, it is still a possibility. ...The outermost part of Luofu Domain.
Suddenly, a large thundercloud came from the distance. However, if you take a closer look, you will find that the thunder cloud is transformed into a purple flag. Judging from its flashing aura, you can directly identify it as a spiritual treasure.
Just like this, wrapped in thunderclouds, a large fleet of more than a hundred airships swept through the sky at high speed to maintain a distance from the pursuers behind them.
Not far behind the fleet, large dark clouds rumbled out. The demonic aura is soaring into the sky, and one can tell at a glance that there is a big demon mixed up in it.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Ahead is the famous Luofu Domain, where the Lord of Luofu City is stationed. As long as we enter there, the demon cultivators will not dare to cross the border, and we will be completely safe!" A Void Refining cultivator used his magic power and said loudly.
At this time, when the monks on the fleet heard this, both of them had expressions on their faces. Everyone in the fleet came from the north of the Central Region. They had been through hardships along the way, and their spirits had been tortured to numbness by the series of accidents and the attacks from time to time by monster beasts and cultivators.
It wasn't until he saw the rows of illusory golden landmarks in the distant sky that his expression changed at all.
"Luofu Domain!" But at the same time, the demon cultivator chasing behind the fleet suddenly became anxious. The prestige of the Lord of Luofu City was built on the withered bones of the four demon kings. Naturally, they did not dare to offend him at will, but they found it difficult to abandon the prey they had been chasing for a long time.
Gritting his teeth, he continued the pursuit.
"Boom!" Both sides had their own goals and started fighting again. The cultivators were already at the end of their strength and had very little mana left. Under this situation, the flying boats fell one after another. Finally, they were blown up by the demon cultivators in the air. They suddenly burst into flames and fell to the ground.
When both sides were chasing each other, a bright light appeared on the horizon in the distance. The monks on the boat saw it and knew that it was the Luofu Guards arriving. They were attracted by the movement here.
While they had hope in their hearts, they also felt deep despair. Too far! By the time the Luofu Guards arrive, I'm afraid there will be only a few flying boats left in the fleet.
"Hahaha!" A demon cultivator laughed wildly. Each one of them was grinning ferociously and was about to completely destroy the fleet.
But suddenly, a powerful spiritual pressure came! Along with it, there was also a figure in black slowly emerging.
Boom! In an instant, the huge airspace was shrouded in a sea of thunder. The terrifying thunder bounced wildly, and those demon cultivators only had time to scream, before they, along with the demon scrolls they carried, were turned into dust by the thunder.
"This thunder marsh is really useful!" Lu Zhong looked at everything silently and thought to himself. the other side. Everyone on the fleet who survived the disaster was crying with joy at this moment.
"It's the Lord of Luofu City!"
"Great, we are saved!" Lu Zhong's emotions fluctuated somewhat after hearing these words. Because this happened more than once or twice.
Since taking control of Luofu, such things can be said to have happened frequently. After the scum disaster struck, the number of monks who came to seek refuge in Luofu as a paradise increased by several percent.
There are many people who have traveled millions of miles to avoid disaster.
"However, it is a pleasure to be able to save lives like this." Lu Zhong thought in his heart, and his figure slowly disappeared.
