Chapter 41: 【Inside Collusion, Plotting Golden Core】 (Seeking collection, seeking...)

Lu Xinyou was caught and taken away, right in this cave abode.

That person just walked into this cave abode under the cover of night, as if all the arrays were useless to him.

Looking at his face, it seemed to be covered by spirit Qi.

He did not give Lu Xinyou time to react, directly knocked him out, put him into a spirit beast bag, and packed him away.

Although he couldn't see his face clearly, the 【Round Light Manifestation】 supernatural power could perfectly restore the aura, and Lu Chengtong recognized this aura.

He hadn't investigated any definite news in the past few decades, but he had basically figured out the high-level figures of the Ziyao Immortal Sect, and he could distinguish the aura of each Elder.

This person was the Zhenjing Peak Elder Sun Xiao, who was related to Lu Chengqin's disappearance!

It was him again.

No wonder he could enter the cave abode without triggering the arrays; no wonder so many people were caught without anyone noticing any traces.

Sun Xiao was a master of arrays; ninety-nine percent of the arrays in the Ziyao Immortal Sect were designed and arranged by him, and he could control all the arrays with one heart.

Lu Chengtong had a guess in his heart.

Sun Xiao must have had some collusion and transaction with Zhao Yongcheng.

He couldn't have suddenly taken action against so many Lu family disciples; for him to do so, there must have been huge benefits.

The only temptation on the Lu family members was the Supernatural Power Dao Fruit.

And the matter of the Supernatural Power Dao Fruit was known only to Zhao Yongcheng, an outsider.

Then, these two must have had contact.

In this way, if he wanted to find out the truth, in the final analysis, he still had to possess the strength of the Golden Core realm before he could continue to investigate.

Lu Chengtong suddenly thought of something.

"Perhaps I don't need to become a Golden Core cultivator myself; what I need is the divine soul power of the Golden Core realm. If a Golden Core cultivator with a Supernatural Power Dao Seed dies, it could bring a Golden Core Supernatural Power Dao Fruit, allowing me to possess a Golden Core divine soul!"

It's just that he was only a Foundation Establishment cultivator and could not influence the struggle of Golden Core cultivators; wanting to plot for the divine soul power of a Golden Core cultivator was simply as difficult as ascending to heaven.

A Supernatural Power Dao Seed must be refined by oneself to fuse with the host's divine soul; everything is based on willingness.

Even if he could lure a Golden Core cultivator to refine the Supernatural Power Dao Seed, how to calculate them and let them die was also a problem.

Changing a line of thought, could it be possible to fuse a large number of Foundation Establishment Dao Fruits to make the divine soul advance to the Golden Core realm?

Thinking about it carefully, it was completely feasible.

It was not suitable for himself, because fusing too strong divine soul power might cause huge pressure on his physical body.

He could obtain a Foundation Establishment divine soul in the Qi Refining realm, but he dared not obtain a Golden Core divine soul in the Foundation Establishment realm.

But the Treasure Mirror did not have this limitation.

Moreover, the divine soul level of the Treasure Mirror was now at the late Foundation Establishment stage; continuing to swallow and fuse had a high probability of completing evolution.

Lu Chengtong checked the Dao Fruits he held; there were only eight Foundation Establishment Dao Fruits, and twenty-seven Qi Refining realm Dao Fruits.

The remaining Dao Fruits were divided into two types: one was 【Spring Breeze Turns to Rain】, and the other was 【Submerged Abyss Earth Escape】.

The most numerous was the former; after all, the Lu family was a "farming" family, and the cultivators in the clan mostly used this supernatural power to plant spirit rice.

The latter were basically bestowed by Lu Wuzhen to improve the survival ability of some clansmen and disciples, but in the end, only Lu Chengtong survived.

Over the past few decades, by obtaining spirit fruits from the herb garden to refine pills for sale, and hunting monster beasts in exchange for resources, Lu Chengtong had accumulated about twenty-four thousand spirit stones, of which ten thousand spirit stones were exchanged for the 【Fractal Phantom】 supernatural power seed for Chen Sanqing.

That is to say, it was unlikely for him to manufacture Dao Seeds in large quantities by consuming spirit stones.

The Dao Fruits he held were the hope for the Treasure Mirror's divine soul to transform.

After making the decision, he gritted his teeth and let the Treasure Mirror fuse all eight Dao Fruits first.

Yan Zhe was surprised by Lu Chengtong's decision; compared to fusing now, he naturally hoped to obtain high-quality Dao Fruits. He was only in the Foundation Establishment realm and couldn't provide him with much insight; at most, it was just strengthening the divine soul power.

Then he understood the reason for Lu Chengtong doing this.

During this period, except for observing the lives of various Dao Seed hosts, he spent most of his time constructing the "Bao Jian Kong Jian."

After obtaining the 【Embryonic Transformation】 Dao Fruit, he discovered that he could manifest his body inside the mirror; although it was only in the form of a spiritual body, it couldn't even be considered a soul, but at least there was a sense of real existence.

But he could only stay inside the Treasure Mirror.

And in order not to be too bored, he began to construct the Bao Jian Kong Jian.

Simply put, it was a huge "honeycomb" room, with many small spaces divided inside, in which he manifested all the information he perceived from the outside world through the Dao Seed hosts, such as perfectly replicating Lu Chengtong's current cave abode, etc.

Information is the most precious thing.

Some spaces were specifically for storing talisman knowledge, and some for storing alchemy knowledge.

Everything was classified and constituted a complete system.

To reduce his burden and also find a hobby.

Yan Zhe was naturally willing to strengthen his divine soul level.

A more powerful divine soul could store more information and carry out more detailed perfection.

All eight Foundation Establishment Dao Fruits were fused, but the divine soul power could not break the restriction of the next level; the divine soul reached the perfection of the Foundation Establishment realm, and it was still a bit short of breaking through.

Lu Chengtong sensed the change in the Treasure Mirror and nodded secretly.

"It seems this method is feasible; if there were ten more Foundation Establishment Dao Fruits, it should be able to make the Treasure Mirror's divine soul level advance."

Then, he began to think about how to turn his Qi Refining realm Dao Fruits into Foundation Establishment ones.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him.

Since cultivators couldn't be controlled, it would be better to guide monster beasts to swallow them.

Using Qi Refining realm Dao Fruits as bait, whether it was inciting monster beasts to kill each other or taking action to harvest them himself, it was feasible.

This matter still needed to be discussed in the long run.

In the blink of an eye, half a year later.

The Red Mist Mountain Range is a vast and slender forest and mountain area, where various monster beasts live; in some deep forests, special areas with rich spirit Qi are inhabited by powerful monster beast groups, and monster beasts prey on each other, killing constantly.

In the mountain range around Zhaoling Prefecture, there are two major monster beast groups, each controlled by a Golden Core monster beast as the King, each controlling a range.

One is the sixth-layer Golden Core Fire Vulture Demon King, and the other is the seventh-layer Golden Core Cloud Snake Demon King.

The two Demon Kings have deep hatred, but because their strengths are similar, they have never had a real life-and-death battle; however, many of their subordinate monster beasts have participated in battles and died constantly.

However, the death of subordinate monster beasts can be recruited again, and the struggle between the two sides has never stopped.

On this day, the most tragic battle to date broke out. ===== CHAPTER 42 =====
