Chapter 510

~15 min read 2,979 words

Just as there was panic on the front line.

An abrupt piece of news came, making everyone's heart settle down.

In the Broken Moon Xiancheng, a Great Cultivator arrived.

A Great Cultivator at the late Nascent Soul stage!

It is said to be the ancestor of the Hehuan Sect!

This news made everyone feel invigorated.

The Hehuan ancestor is no unknown person; having practiced the Hehuan Sect's inherited technique "Six Imperial Yin-Yang Transformation" for over a thousand years, his strength has already reached the realm of perfection.

It is said that many years ago, he was almost admitted into the Soul Transformation holy land, the Mingyuan Sect, and listed as a guest elder.

Although he failed for unknown reasons later, it shows how strong he is.

The appearance of such an existence in the Xiaoyue Mountain Range is simply like a pillar of the sea, soothing everyone's panic.

It can be said that as long as no ancient demons of the Soul Transformation stage emerge from the million great mountains, the already conquered Xiaoyue Mountain Range will not have any major issues.

Of course!

There are also some people who know the inside story and have made reasonable guesses.

The Hehuan ancestor, who has always been indifferent to worldly affairs, came out of seclusion and came to the front line to garrison, eight or nine times out of ten, it is to atone for his sins.

Everyone knows that this opening war, from the Broken Moon Xiancheng to the decisive battle at Tiangu Plain, was barely considered standard.

The trouble started at the tail end of attacking the Great Snow Mountain.

And attacking the Great Snow Mountain was led by the Hehuan Sect's True Person Master Yunhe and his Dao companion.

Now that the disciples under his sect have committed a crime and provoked the demon race's strongmen.

Regardless of how the Soul Transformation holy land of the Eastern Wasteland human race handles it, your Hehuan Sect must give an explanation.

After figuring this out, the human cultivators in the Xiaoyue Mountain Range felt relieved.

The panic of the previous period disappeared, and all kinds of businesses began to flourish again.

It is even said that because of the disappearance of a large number of Core Formation cultivators, there were more benefits left over, attracting more people to compete, and bloody incidents occurred from time to time.

Originally, this situation should not have appeared.

But now the Luoyun Sect is leaderless, and the Hehuan ancestor does not show his face even after coming, looking like he doesn't care about trivial matters, so people became more and more indulgent.

On Mount Cangwu Mountain.

Two figures stood side by side, looking at the square below.

A man was controlling the true fire to refine pills in a furnace, with birds circling on all four sides, not making a sound, as if they were concentrating on learning.

The man's expression was not very good, but his movements were incomparably proficient, without a single mistake.

In front of the Zhoukong Hall.

Master Youquan flapped his wings, wanting to land on the green-shirted woman.

The two were extremely close, but it was as if there was a membrane, and he couldn't fly over no matter what.

Master Youquan made a harsh sound, "Xiao Qing, just let me stand for a while, I'm so tired from flying all the time."

Qing Shuang seemed not to hear, a pair of bright eyes looking below, but it seemed there was no focus.

Master Youquan cackled twice, a black cloud landed under his feet, and then he said to himself:

"Those human cultivators really don't take our warnings seriously! You killed two and captured three, losing five great Nascent Soul True Persons, yet they are still swaggering in the Xiaoyue Mountain Range. Aren't they afraid of Di Tian making trouble?"

Qing Shuang's expression moved slightly, and then she said faintly: "Don't you often say that human cultivators have always been arrogant?"

They are indeed used to being arrogant!

Every opening war is claimed to have both risks and benefits.

But every time, countless people join, one after another, never stopping.

Why is this?

It's just because cultivators habitually think that the benefits are more, and the risks are just so-so!

Subconsciously, the Eastern Wasteland cultivators who have won repeatedly have not taken the demon race in the million great mountains seriously.

Master Youquan curled his lips and glanced at the Duzhen Hall he was temporarily in charge of.

"If you ask me, killing them is fine, but why did you bring these people back?"

Qing Shuang said in a low voice: "Sister said that she and Di Tian are not on the same path. It is enough for me to help Di Tian once on Sister's behalf; there is no need to offend the human race to death. Keeping these people is to wait for future developments. If they really reach an agreement, then we hand these people over, and we won't offend the human race."

Master Youquan was stunned.

"Xiao Qing, I didn't expect you to understand these twists and turns?"

Qing Shuang bit her lip, "I read more books, so I naturally understand human relationships."

Master Youquan chuckled, "Then have you ever thought about what will happen if the negotiation fails?"

Qing Shuang frowned, and for a moment, she was troubled.

After pondering for a moment, she said hesitantly: "Kill them?"

"I'm afraid it will be too late by then!"

"Uh..."

"Don't worry, I have already contacted the Eastern Wasteland Demon Court founded by Di Tian and asked them to come and take the people away. By then, whether it is war or peace, it will have nothing to do with our Mount Cangwu Mountain," Master Youquan said, and at the same time, his expression became solemn, "Xiao Qing, remember, sometimes the things learned from books are just the most superficial. Those principles need to be practiced personally to be understood."

Practice personally?

On the woman's delicate cheeks, a look of embarrassment appeared.

Seeing her embarrassment and distress, Master Youquan smiled again and comforted: "Forget it, forget it, I know you hate these things the most and only want to concentrate on cultivation and break through to the Soul Transformation stage early. Don't worry about these things in the future, just leave them to me."

Hearing this, Qing Shuang finally showed a look of relief.

She said softly: "It should be so, this is also Sister's hope for me, I cannot let her down."

"Hmm, come on! I believe you will definitely be able to do it. You have practiced the most orthodox demon cultivation method since childhood and reached the late Nascent Soul stage in just two hundred years. If you say who in the Shan Hai Xu Jie is most likely to naturally transform into a soul and ascend in this era, it is only you, Qing Shuang!"

Facing the words of encouragement, the woman rarely showed a slight smile.

But she did not notice the trace of irritability in Master Youquan's eyes.

Suddenly.

Qing Shuang looked at the back of the alchemy man on the mountain and said coldly: "The one you value shouldn't just be his alchemy, right!"

"What do you mean? The Emperor's Di Di Liu Jiang is of great help to my cultivation of the Mount Cangwu Mountain forces; this alone is enough for me to value him."

"Master Youquan, is it really like this?" Qing Shuang asked suspiciously.

Master Youquan cackled, "Alright, I can't hide it from you, who has a delicate and transparent heart! You should pay close attention to the flames he uses when refining pills!"

Qing Shuang looked over curiously.

Slowly, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"Nirvana Holy Fire?"

"Right, but not quite!"

Master Youquan said complacently: "In the world, only the Xixia Yuanjun can master the Nirvana Holy Fire. How could a mere Core Formation cultivator master it? However, you didn't see it wrong. The Withered Glory Fire mastered by Luo Chen has the prototype of the Nirvana Holy Fire and possesses the mystery of life and death transformation."

Qing Shuang said in surprise: "Is this the reason why you give him special treatment?"

"There is this part of the reason!" Master Youquan lowered his voice and made a strange sound, "Besides, this child is indeed extraordinary. With Five-Element Spiritual Roots, he formed a core in less than a hundred years, his temperament is firm and outstanding, and his fortune is deep. If it weren't for meeting you, he would definitely be the most outstanding genius among the human race in the future!"

"Now, I have him under my control, which not only increases our strength and makes Mount Cangwu Mountain grow and develop, but also weakens the human race's strength. Why wouldn't I do such a thing that kills two birds with one stone?"

"Most importantly, the Emperor's Di Di Liu Jiang is not important; the Transformation Pill is the key to the rise of our Mount Cangwu Mountain!"

The mountain wind blew, rolling the green shirt.

Qing Shuang was thoughtful.

After watching Luo Chen refine pills for a while, she said casually: "But it's obvious that his use of the Withered Glory Fire is still at the most superficial level, I'm afraid he has no way to refine the Transformation Pill for you."

"I didn't expect Xiao Qing, who only knows alchemy and space, to know so much about fire techniques!"

Master Youquan chuckled.

"Don't worry, this is a small matter!"

"I have my own way to make him proficient in the Withered Glory Fire and refine the Transformation Pill for me!"

On the mountain waist platform.

Luo Chen was refining the Emperor's Di Di Liu Jiang with an ugly expression.

In one month, with the help of He He Qingzi, a batch of materials for the Emperor's Di Di Liu Jiang was finally gathered.

After he personally refined it, it reached the basic conditions for refining.

If it were just this, it would be fine.

Alchemy, just an old trade.

But unexpectedly, Master Youquan sent an order.

He must personally preside over alchemy under the eyes of everyone, and if any birds and beasts want to ask for advice, he must personally solve their doubts.

What does this mean?

It means letting him be the teacher of these demon beasts!

It means he has to teach his alchemy skills without reservation.

Luo Chen had no way to refuse. The other party didn't search his soul and let him go, and provided him with a third-order supreme cave dwelling that could increase cultivation speed by nine times. Under these circumstances, he couldn't refuse with the so-called habits of an alchemist.

Dying to show his ambition is not something Luo Chen could do.

It's just that when he thought about refining pills for demon beasts and turning it into teaching human alchemy, the gap between the two was too big!

"If the cultivators find out, I'm afraid my identity as a human traitor won't be hidden."

Luo Chen smiled bitterly in his heart.

But his movements were not slow at all. With a wave of his sleeves, the lid of the incomplete Minister Cauldron was opened, and strands of golden liquid surged into the sky.

As his magic power circulated, they automatically flowed into prepared jade bottles.

This scene was like the sun producing essence and the bright moon falling, dazzling and brilliant.

Chirp, chirp...

Beside his ears came the chirping of birds.

Luo Chen, who already understood bird language, could hear that it was the first to third-order demon birds of Mount Cangwu Mountain praising him from the bottom of their hearts for being amazing.

But this praise was so harsh.

If he had a choice, Luo Chen would rather not have it.

He turned to leave, but his figure was blocked by He He Qingzi.

"I need to rest!"

"Next time you refine pills, slow down a bit, many people didn't see your alchemy steps clearly."

"If they can't see clearly, it means they have no comprehension, and naturally no talent to be an alchemist."

"Luo Chen, I advise you to put away your little temper."

Luo Chen took a deep breath, trying to restrain his unhappy mood as much as possible.

But his words were still sharp: "The truth is just like this. Otherwise, in the cultivation world, alchemists would have been everywhere long ago. Senior He He Qingzi, you have also stayed in the human cultivation world for so many years, you should understand this truth better than me, right!"

He He Qingzi nodded subconsciously.

But soon, she realized the hint of mockery in the words.

This was scolding her for once being a traitor to the demon race!

Just when He He Qingzi was about to get angry, the words stopped at her mouth.

She turned her head and looked towards the Zhoukong Hall, then looked at Luo Chen with an uncertain expression.

"Qing Shuang and Master Youquan want you to go up."

Luo Chen was stunned, and subconsciously looked at the huge palace that seemed to be in another space, appearing and disappearing.

This was Luo Chen's first time coming to the Zhoukong Hall.

It was also his second time seeing the powerful demon cultivator named Qing Shuang.

As their eyes met, Luo Chen's heart trembled, and he immediately lowered his head.

In the palace, Qing Shuang was still a bit hesitant, and transmitted to Master Youquan: "Do you really want to pass Sister's technique to him?"

"It's just the Core Formation chapter that was intercepted, it doesn't matter if you give it to him. Besides, although the Xixia Yuanjun inheritance was obtained from Xiao Lian Xia, she has long been free from shackles and no longer relies on that technique. Don't worry, if the Xixia Yuanjun really punishes, I will bear it alone," Master Youquan said with a smile, but without transforming, the tone of his human speech still carried the habits of a crow, harsh and strange.

Qing Shuang said noncommittally: "Since that's the case, then it's up to you. Anyway, Sister also said that everything in Mount Cangwu Mountain is up to you."

"Don't worry, it's just that I need your help later, don't forget."

"Hmm."

In the main hall, Luo Chen stood there quietly with his head lowered.

There was no sound for a long time, making him feel a huge pressure invisibly.

That feeling was as if his life and death were in the hands of others, and he couldn't resist at all.

Finally!

The black crow spoke with a strange tone.

"Luo Chen, has anyone ever told you that you took the wrong path?"

Luo Chen was stunned, subconsciously raised his head, and looked directly at the other party.

"Someone has said it."

Master Youquan didn't seem to care about his rude behavior of looking directly, and nodded: "It seems that among the human race, there are also people with high vision!"

Luo Chen recalled the True Person Cang Long who had guided him along the way, and Chu Kui who had been his short-term sparring partner.

He reviewed his memory and said slowly: "Someone once said that I am good at fire techniques but practice wood techniques, going south by driving north, so my strength cannot be fully utilized."

Master Youquan nodded slightly.

"Someone also said that I possess Five-Element Spiritual Roots, my foundation is incomparably solid, and I also have the foundation to ascend to heaven."

Master Youquan did not deny it.

"Therefore, after forming the core, I began to try to correct the mistakes. From practicing only wood-attribute techniques to practicing both wood and fire. It's a pity that the technique is a secret of the sect, and I only got an incomplete volume of "Burning Wood True Technique," which led to slow cultivation."

Master Youquan smiled: "The idea is good, and the action is also there. But have you ever thought that the difficulty of practicing both is extremely high, and with the drag of Five-Element Spiritual Roots, how long will it take you to advance to the Nascent Soul stage? In this life, will there be another chance to break through to Soul Transformation?"

As soon as these words came out, a bitter smile appeared on Luo Chen's face.

He had really thought about this kind of thing!

Or rather, when forming the core, he had considered it deeply.

At that time, he just thought about taking one step at a time and solving the problem of difficult cultivation little by little.

But after so many years of hard work, in fact, the resources were full, but the realm improvement was still slow.

Up to now, he hadn't even had the chance to forge his natal magic treasure.

Even if he got a third-order supreme spiritual land now, his cultivation speed increased sharply, but he still had no confidence in forming a Nascent Soul, let alone becoming an immortal through Soul Transformation!

Practicing both is a drag, and Five-Element Spiritual Roots have become a fundamental shackle.

Especially, he didn't know how long he could enjoy this third-order supreme spiritual land.

Just when he was smiling bitterly.

Master Youquan said leisurely: "I have a volume of peerless divine technique that can help you graft flowers onto trees and change to practicing the Fire Dao. If you practice this technique to the extreme, you can even cross the sea by deception, break free from shackles with the aptitude of a single spiritual root, and practice quickly."

"Do you want to learn?"

Luo Chen was shocked and blurted out: "What technique?"

Master Youquan opened his mouth and spat out a red feather with a fiery color, which floated in front of him.

""Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra," which can lead directly to the Mahayana stage!"
