Chapter 435: A Thousand Miles of Same Wind

The brilliant light grew more and more intense, constantly climbing out of the copper mirror, like a living thing spreading outward, lingering with a vigorous vitality, the brilliance was brilliant, and the auspicious colors were flying.

Under the eyes of everyone, after a few breaths, all the light suddenly retracted, and a clear Qi was revealed. After wrapping the copper mirror with its body, it fell into the main hall calmly.

The clear Qi turned into a human figure upon landing, its whole body surrounded by clouds and mist, like clouds and fog.

Du Zhan looked closely and saw that the person was a handsome youth, with an excellent appearance, green crown and white robes, and large sleeves fluttering.

However, the person's body seemed to be transformed by real flesh and blood, but if you look closely, it was hazy, as if cast by vast magic power, clearly just an incarnation crossing the boundary to come here, and he did not hide it.

"It seems the rumors are not wrong, this Lu Shen of Shaokang Mountain is indeed a strange species..."

After seeing Lu Shen's deep vertical pupils, although Du Zhan was surprised, he did not lose his courtesy too much, glanced at it and moved his gaze away, just secretly thinking in his heart.

Shaokang Mountain—Lu Shen!

This name is not thunderous to the martial cultivators in the hall, but in the ears of True Wushan disciples like Du Zhan and Chen Ya, it is definitely not strange.

Shaokang Mountain can now be considered a famous great orthodoxy. Although it cannot be compared with ancient high gates like True Wushan, the founder of this sect is the Lu Yusheng who has a resounding reputation.

Just this one item.

It determined that Shaokang Mountain cannot be underestimated!

In the past, Lu Yusheng, who combined the luck of the Eight Sects of the Xuanmen, after triggering the "Zhonglang Catastrophe", although he was cut off half of his Yuan Spirit by the thirty-three true talismans of the Tai Fu Palace Master who was furious.

But Lu Yusheng was indeed capable of divine abilities, and with several Buddhas and Sages from outside the sky helping him, Lu Yusheng actually used his seriously injured body to lift the Zhonglang State and escape outside the universe.

And this person did not stop after leaving the Xudu Heaven.

However, after only a thousand years of cultivation, he fiercely fought into the Zhao Cheng Heaven and confronted the three major orthodoxies in the Zhao Cheng Heaven.

Lu Yusheng first used thunderous means to wipe out the entire Xuan Shu Sect among the three Zhao Cheng sects, took away the sect's supreme treasure "Ten Heavenly Stems Twelve Signatures", and confronted the other two sects for hundreds of years, finally forcing the remaining two sects to bow their heads, offering talisman discs, hostages, etc., and willing to respect Lu Yusheng as the leader.

This matter also caused a stir at the time, attracting the attention of many high-gate sects.

Because although Zhao Cheng Heaven is a small heaven, it is also a bright Yang World heaven after all.

Lu Yusheng's ability to force all living beings in a heaven to bow their heads with an unhealed injury is worthy of being a person who once combined the luck of the Eight Sects of the Xuanmen in the past, and can be called round and round great wisdom, with great power!

And after nominally ruling a heaven and becoming the Zhao Cheng Heavenly Venerable, Lu Yusheng opened the door and set up a mansion, and began to pass down his own orthodoxy in the universe.

That orthodoxy is named "Shaokang Mountain".

To this day, Shaokang Mountain has claimed to have three Cave Truths, sixteen Upper Mysteries, and forty-nine Small Saints. The foundation has been established, and the majesty is growing day by day!

And before Lu Yusheng rebelled out of Xudu Heaven, he was originally from the Jiuzhen Sect.

All Jiuzhen disciples need to practice the way of arrays, which can be said to be a housekeeping skill, and this person was also favored by "Hushan Gong" of the Beiji Garden when he was young, and was taught a few essence of array driving by this Immortal Sage. Later, Lu Yusheng was exceptionally accepted as a disciple outside the sect by Hushan Gong, and roughly considered a fellow disciple of the Beiji Old Immortal.

Therefore, Lu Yusheng is a rare array dao grandmaster, and his resounding voice spread throughout the Yang World, and even the Netherworld had heard of it!

Shaokang Mountain, as an orthodoxy founded by Lu Yusheng himself, is naturally also based on the way of arrays, and its status is extraordinary!

Du Zhan had heard of Lu Shen's reputation many times when dealing with various major sects in the past.

He knew that Lu Shen's master, Shu Tan, had followed Lu Yusheng through several life-and-death situations and was loyal. Therefore, although Shu Tan's cultivation was not as good as several fellow disciples, he also had a heavy position in Shaokang Mountain!

But Lu Shen, as Shu Tan's disciple, was an exception in Shu Tan's lineage.

His aptitude was overflowing, his understanding was high, and he had emerged after only a few years of being accepted as a disciple by Shu Tan, and even Lu Yusheng had summoned this person to examine his cultivation.

To this day, Lu Shen has vaguely become the crown of the third-generation disciples of Shaokang Mountain and the leader of the forty-nine Small Saints.

And his array method is almost unmatched by his peers, which is truly powerful!

"I heard from Xiao Xiao Shixiong Cui that Lu Shen entered our sect's Turtle Snake Cave to polish his spirit in order to cultivate Shaokang Mountain's ultimate art. Several ancestors of our sect have a good relationship with Lu Yusheng. During that Zhonglang Catastrophe, our sect seemed to have secretly exerted some strength. It is not too out of the ordinary for him to enter the cave..."

Du Zhan's eyes flashed, secretly thinking:

"However, listening to Han Yinjue's words just now, Lu Shen came here this time at Han Yinjue's request? It is a strange thing that these two have such good friendship."

During that Zhonglang Catastrophe in Xudu Heaven, although it was mainly the Wuliang Guangtian, Zhu Jingtian, and Changwen Heaven, they used a mysterious demon gap to join forces to trip the Eight Sects and Six Sects, giving Lu Yusheng an opportunity.

But because of the fear of the prosperity of the Xudu orthodoxy, major sects like True Wushan and the Innate Demon Sect also exerted some strength in secret.

Under the joint efforts of all parties, the Eight Sects and Six Sects of Xudu finally suffered a loss, and their momentum was frustrated.

The hard planning of all parties.

Also far from achieving full success...

"Actually, Zhu Jingtian and Shaokang Mountain have a deep origin, but with such a clear and noble character as Lu Shen, how can he look down on Han Yinjue and be kind to this person?"

Du Zhan's thoughts turned, and finally he couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

And while he was frowning and pondering, in the center of the cave hall, Chen Ya had made up his mind and spoke loudly:

"So what if Chen Hang has cultivated sword techniques? My ancestors were descendants of 'Controllers' after all. People say that the supreme method of subduing demons is only in the major demon sects, but this principle is no different when applied to sword dao.

When the Wusheng Sword Sect was at its peak, it circulated two mysterious secret arts in the sect, 'Sword Catching Technique' and 'Mixed Qi Method', which were jointly deduced by the Controllers, specifically used to restrain sword cultivator elites outside the sect!

Chen's branch is only a collateral branch, but in those years, I also obtained the 'Mixed Qi Method' fragment, and I am willing to offer this method to Xiao Xiao Shixiong Cui to help!"

Chen Ya's voice rumbled in the cave hall, like a spring thunder exploding, making many people look surprised.

"This son's actions today are to seek the opportunity of the Turtle Snake Cave and spend his blood capital... It seems that he is determined to win the competition forty-three years later!"

Amidst the discussion.

Jin Zongchun suddenly shook his head and smiled, and transmitted to Duan Gui beside him:

"However, there are so many talents in the sect? Although Chen Ya is a character and his furnace grade is extraordinary, it is difficult for him to stand out in the competition forty-three years later and get the favor of the venerable in the sect!"

Duan Gui did not reply, only showing a thoughtful expression.

After the few people exchanged pleasantries, Duan Gui and Jin Zongchun looked at each other, their expressions slightly serious.

That talisman not only urged Cui Jing to deal with the Ge Lu affairs as soon as possible, but also added rewards.

After this battle, all True Wushan disciples could go to the Turtle Snake Cave to lurk and cultivate for one year. Those who have great merits could even extend this period to a full five years!

As for the two elders, they could each get a furnace of Earth Origin Marrow-Building Pills.

Earth Origin Marrow-Building Pills are quite beneficial to the cultivation of the Martial Dao Golden Body Realm, and even figures like Duan Gui and Jin Zongchun would not think there are too many.

As for the Turtle Snake Cave, it is the fundamental place of True Wushan. Being able to lurk and cultivate in it and polish the body will definitely have infinite benefits!

Those who can set such rewards will definitely not exceed five fingers in the vast True Wushan.

And thinking about who would spend such effort to deliberately make such arrangements.

The identity of that person.

Naturally, it is also self-evident...

"Forty-three years later, it is the day Venerable Dixiao leaves the customs. Whoever can perform well in the sect's competition can be accepted as a registered disciple by Venerable Dixiao. This is a great blessing."

At this time, Duan Gui suddenly transmitted to Jin Zongchun:

"In the past, if True Martial disciples wanted to enter the Turtle Snake Cave, they had to exchange it with the sect's merits, but the sect suddenly set such generous rewards. It is not surprising that Chen Ya does not want to miss this opportunity, but in Brother Jin's view, how much certainty does Chen Ya have?"

Jin Zongchun shook his head: "I don't know what kind of good fortune Chen Ya will have if he enters the Turtle Snake Cave, but with his current ability, I'm afraid it's difficult to pass the level of Huan Ying and Wu Zhi."

Duan Gui was thoughtful when he heard this.

At this time, the discussion in the hall was lively. Chen Ya was determined not to hand over Ge Lu for the opportunity of the Turtle Snake Cave, while Du Zhan had the intention to retreat and was hesitant.

"Victory and defeat are common matters for soldiers! How can there be a reason to bow your head voluntarily after losing a game carelessly!"

Chen Ya frowned and shouted:

"With Xiao Xiao Shixiong Cui's aptitude, plus the help of my 'Mixed Qi Method', as long as we can block Chen Hang's sword technique, the outcome is still unknown!

Xiao Xiao Shixiong Cui is the True Inheritor of our sect, famous throughout the universe, and is not weaker than anyone! And Chen Hang just came out of Xudu Heaven and wants to step on our reputation, making us his stepping stone for merit. Are you all willing to be like this?"

"What is there to be unwilling about? If we meet Chen Hang, it's just a matter of his sword... Xiao Xiao Shixiong Chen is really obsessed with the competition forty-three years later!"

Du Zhan slandered endlessly.

And Du Zhan argued with Chen Ya for a few more sentences. Seeing that Chen Ya seemed to be determined, Du Zhan had to change the subject and ask:

"Even if we follow Xiao Xiao Shixiong's words, Xiao Xiao Shixiong Cui's healing and cultivation of the 'Mixed Qi Method' will take some time. Now the North Pingshan array is damaged by nearly half and will be broken in a few days.

It is already a case of the enemy being many and us being few. If we lose the geographical advantage, how can we resist?"

"The cultivation of the 'Mixed Qi Method' is easy to enter but difficult to be proficient in. With Xiao Xiao Shixiong Cui's root nature, it is not difficult to be proficient!" Chen Ya was confident: "As for the enemy being many and us being few, I have prepared several talisman books. As long as they are released, reinforcements will break the boundary and arrive soon!"

Duan Gui frowned.

Du Zhan couldn't help but change his face, pointed at Chen Ya, and couldn't suppress a trace of anger on his face.

The Ge Lu dispute this time has already reached this point.

But in the final analysis, it is still a dispute between Chen Hang and Cui Jing.

Han Yinjue's unauthorized action last time was already sweeping Cui Jing's face, which made Du Zhan secretly have the intention to kill.

And this time, if Chen Ya wants to ask other True Inheritors of True Wushan to come forward to help for the opportunity of the Turtle Snake Cave, then even if they win, it will definitely not be glorious.

At that time, even if the two were working for Cui Jing, Du Zhan would definitely fight Chen Ya and end this friendship!

Seeing Du Zhan's lips trembling, Chen Ya's expression became solemn, and he hurriedly explained:

"Younger Brother, don't be suspicious! Even if I want the Turtle Snake Cave opportunity again, I won't be stupid enough to use Xiao Xiao Shixiong Cui's reputation as a price..."

After Chen Ya explained the reason, the cultivators in the hall also understood his plan.

In short, the Xiping territory is closer to the True Martial Heaven, and Cui Jing, as a True Inheritor of True Wushan, because of his admiration for the True Wushan's name, there will be some sects in the nearby land that are willing to be Cui Jing's subordinates and are willing to be driven by him.

And Chen Ya's meaning is to summon those sects to the Xiping territory.

Borrow their strength to guard this North Pingshan until Cui Jing succeeds in leaving the customs!

Duan Gui glanced at Jin Zongchun, saw that he was noncommittal, hesitated for a moment, and said:

"Those sects signed a gold contract early and can be counted as Cui True Inheritor's private soldiers. Acting like this is not out of the ordinary..."

Before Chen Ya could be happy, Duan Gui added:

"But you and I discuss it a thousand times here, it is ultimately useless. In the final analysis, this matter still depends on Cui True Inheritor's intention!"

Chen Ya bowed immediately upon hearing this, and looked at Jin Zongchun again.

Jin Zongchun said "heh", and said:

"This seat is not very concerned about the sect's rewards. To tell the truth, in this Ge Lu, if I don't pinch that old thief Cai Qing to death with my own hands, I am not reconciled!"

Jin Zongchun's eyes flashed with evil spirit, fierce light exposed, and was suppressed in an instant, only calmly saying:

"However, what Xiao Xiao Shixiong Duan said is very true. For such things, we still have to ask Cui True Inheritor for instructions and listen to the True Inheritor's meaning. You and I do not have the qualification to make decisions for him..."

"Disciple understands!"

Chen Ya smiled and responded solemnly.

Since the words have reached this point, there is nothing more to discuss. After the cultivators in the cave hall exchanged a few polite words, they left one after another.

And when Jin Zongchun walked out of the cave dwelling, he suddenly felt a vague palpitation, which made him stop.

His martial dao spiritual sense had such warnings from time to time in the past few days, but he opened his divine eyes to scan carefully, but he couldn't find any clues.

Even if he called Duan Gui to help, the two of them didn't find anything unusual.

Lu Shen had not finished speaking when his expression shifted, and he looked into the distance.

Jin Zongchun touched his chin, a look of suspicion flashed on his face.

Finally, he decided to write a letter immediately after returning to the quiet room, asking the fellow disciples in the sect who are good at heavenly machine divination to help calculate it.

Not long after Jin Zongchun left, where he originally stood, a grain of dust that was almost invisible to the naked eye suddenly flicked and drilled into the ground.

When it reached about a hundred zhang underground, the dust shook and transformed into a three-legged colored lizard covered in hard scales, its eyes agile, as if it had quite a bit of wisdom.

The colored lizard spat out its tongue, sniffed in all directions as if looking for a direction, then shook its tail and drilled straight towards Cai Qing's camp, moving as fast as lightning.

Just as Cai Qing heard the private words stolen by the colored lizard clearly and hurried to where Chen Hang lived.

In North Pingshan, Du Zhan also received the report, and when he went to see Cui Jing, he told the quarrel of the cultivators clearly.

And when he said that Chen Ya was willing to offer the "Mixed Qi Method" of his ancestors, there was no strange color on Cui Jing's face, not surprised at all.

"Younger Brother Du doesn't know."

Cui Jing reached into his sleeve, took out half a black-colored iron-cast talisman, rubbed it slightly, and said faintly:

"When my injury was slightly better the day before yesterday, Junior Brother Chen secretly asked to see me. At that time, he had already offered the fragment of this Mixed Qi Method. Mentioning it today is just to convince you all to inspire the crowd."

"Wusheng Sword Sect's Mixed Qi Method..."

Du Zhan was surprised.

I don't know what kind of transaction the Controller of Chen Ya's ancestors made with True Wushan, or if it was just a fragment with limited utility.

Although the name of the Mixed Qi Method is great, True Wushan did not ask Chen Ya's ancestors for this method. To this day, this secret method seems to be unique to Chen Ya's branch, and rarely circulated outside.

"Xiao Xiao Shixiong Chen is already... for the identity of a registered disciple."

Du Zhan shook his head, stopped talking, and finally looked at Cui Jing, not avoiding anything with his friendship with Cui Jing, and went straight to the point:

"In Xiao Xiao Shixiong's view, what should we do? Should we summon our subordinates to guard North Pingshan until Xiao Xiao Shixiong cultivates the wonderful technique, or abandon Ge Lu and not entangle too much?"

Cui Jing was silent for a while, his eyes deep.

After a long time, he sighed and said:

"Chen Hang... I didn't expect Yuchen to have such a character. Although I didn't have any contempt for him before, but now it seems that I still underestimated him!" ===== CHAPTER 436 =====

"Cultivation is nothing more than the four categories of method, companion, land, and wealth!

If you lose this time, Chen Hang, it seems you must have lost on this word 'companion'!"

In a flash, three days passed in a hurry.

On this day, suddenly a long stretch of Qi light expanded in the sky, the phantom of a great star like a rainbow, washing down.

Hundreds of formation flags in Beiping Mountain rolled up layer by layer, like reeds in the wild wind, and as they leaped upward, they steadily merged with the phantom star.

A line of light rose from the mountain belly, illuminating the sky, and before long, it made the entire Beiping Mountain look like a glazed Brahma city, exceptionally clear!

"The Chanxing Fenyuan Formation is complete. To set up this formation in just this short time, even that True Person Tang Xuan of the Jiuzhen Sect would probably find it difficult to do. This Lu Shen is truly worthy of being the head of the forty-nine little saints of Shaokang Mountain..."

Above the Tongtuo River, True Persons of the Primordial Spirit like Xue Jing and Yang Kezhen looked into the distance, their expressions slightly strange.

Xue Jing showed a look of confusion and continued:

"However, that Lu Shen should be a sensible person. He came here specifically, probably just to set up the formation, and will not personally enter the arena... But even if this formation can delay us for some time, what is the use? Can Cui Ju really be reborn in this year or year and a half?"

Yang Kezhen shook his head upon hearing this, also unclear in his heart.

Wang Yun and Dong Qu looked ahead, quite curious about the newly formed formation. In the land, it was truly rare to see such a wonderful technique.

And Cai Qing secretly wrung his hands, his thoughts drifting entirely elsewhere.

Since Lu Shen's arrival, the colorful lizard he had carefully raised seemed to fear something on this person and dared not easily go to Beiping Mountain to spy on enemy information.

This truly caused him to lose several merits for nothing. How could Cai Qing not be annoyed?

"Although Cui Ju lost a round to me, this person went to such lengths to invite Lu Shen to set up a formation. It seems he should have a plan in mind. Everyone, do not underestimate this person too much."

Chen Hang withdrew his gaze and said.

"The True Person acts cautiously; this is truly the blessing of our Yuchen." Yang Kezhen first complimented with a smile, then could not help but worry: "However, once this formation is formed, it is difficult to break easily. Without external force, I am afraid we will inevitably be dragged down..."

"The old man once heard that among the eight sects and six schools of Xudutian, the Jiuzhen Sect seems to be proficient in formation Dao, and the ancestor of Shaokang Mountain was also from the Jiuzhen Sect in the past?"

While everyone was frowning and thinking, the ancestor of the Mystic Realm Sect, Dong Qu, pondered for a moment and then bowed:

"If the True Person wants to defeat Cui Ju quickly, why not invite people from the Jiuzhen Sect here? They are all from the same lineage. Presumably, breaking the formation is not difficult?"

Yang Kezhen and Xue Jing could not help but shake their heads upon hearing this, and for a moment they did not know how to explain.

"Chanxing Fenyuan is a very profound type of formation within the Jiuzhen Sect. Those who can deduce the formation eye and break the formation gate at the Golden Core stage are truly few and far between. It is probably already the lineage of a sect's true transmission."

Chen Hang did not take it to heart and smiled:

"And I have not been enlightened for long, and I have no opportunity to get to know such fellow Daoists. Although what True Person Dong said just now is a good strategy, for me, it is difficult to accomplish."

Dong Qu knew he had spoken out of turn upon hearing this, a flash of embarrassment on his face, and he hurriedly bowed to apologize.

"Why be like this." Chen Hang supported him and said: "However, although Chen cannot invite the talents of the Jiuzhen Sect, there are other ways to break this formation."

"What does the True Person mean?" Xue Jing asked.

"True Person Gongshulong of our sect once entrusted a high person of the West Sea to refine a magic treasure for breaking formations, called the 'Zhaisheng Stake'. In the past, this True Person used this treasure to break several formation diagrams of the South Sea Snake Tribe, and thus became famous all over the world."

Chen Hang said: "The day before yesterday, I wrote a letter and ordered someone to go to the boundary gate of the Yunshao Realm to take the Zhaisheng Stake. Although it will inevitably take some effort on the way, it is better than wasting a year or a half here."

"Gongshulong, the eldest of the Gongshu brothers in the sect?"

Yang Kezhen was truly surprised upon hearing this. These Gongshu brothers were famous figures in Yuchen, figures who were expected to be promoted to the position of Hall Master of the Nine Halls after achieving the Dao!

However, although Yang Kezhen was curious about how these two brothers, who were always elusive, would have Chen Hang take the Zhaisheng Stake, it was not the time to be a busybody.

After some discussion, as Chen Hang said goodbye, the few Primordial Spirit True Persons exchanged a few polite words and left one after another.

And at the first watch of the night, suddenly a beam of rainbow light broke through the sky.

It flickered and rippled, shaking the spiritual energy, like the sunrise and the beautiful clouds, heading straight for the Yuchen camp, and in an instant, it illuminated half the sky!

Once this momentum appeared, it alarmed the troops on both sides of the Tongtuo River, and they all came out to investigate.

Yang Kezhen pinched his fingers and opened his Dharma eye, seeing that there were two cultivators standing in the rainbow light.

One had Qi and blood as fierce as a vast long river, looking at it was soul-stirring, obviously from a martial arts background.

The other carried a long box on his back, and an unparalleled sharp momentum could not be concealed, as if it would pierce through the top at any time, looking like a sword cultivator.

"The matter of seeking the Zhaisheng Stake might have been said too early. These two actually gathered here. Now I probably don't need this treasure to help..."

While Yang Kezhen, Xue Jing, and others were concentrating, Chen Hang's voice rang out from afar.

He walked out of the main tent, looked up at the sky, and for once there was a touch of surprise and excitement in his eyes, clapping his hands and laughing:

"Everyone, my help has arrived!"
