Chapter 150 Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills, and get another million experience points
In the underground ruins.
Ji Yuan, who had regained consciousness at this time, looked at Lu Chen not far away, and the pride in his heart had been completely shattered.
It's obvious that his cultivation is stronger, and he has made sufficient preparations for today.
But Lu Chen's appearance seemed to be specifically to tell him how cruel the world of immortal cultivation is.
Because Lu Chen not only defeated him with a cultivation level that was a whole realm behind him.
And in the process, he also displayed terrifying methods and mentality.
Compared with Lu Chen, he, a Jindan stage cultivator, was like a waste with only brute force.
Not only was there no strategy in the battle, but every step was perfectly calculated by Lu Chen.
In the end, he was defeated by the opponent who was at a higher level than him.
Thinking of this, Ji Yuan suddenly felt as if he was in another world.
You have to know that in the last second he was the most powerful Holy Son of the Black Lotus Sect and a powerful Jindan-stage cultivator.
But the next second, he became Lu Chen's prisoner, and his life and death depended on someone else's thoughts.
In fact, as the emperor, Ji Yuan should not have acted so recklessly.
After all, he was able to rely on his mortal body to help the Black Lotus Sect gain a foothold in the Great Yan Dynasty step by step without attracting the attention of Yuxu Mountain above. Naturally, he was not a fool.
But just like many people easily lose their nature after becoming rich overnight.
After Ji Yuan suddenly gained powerful cultivation, he also lost himself in that instant.
In other words, he believed too much that cultivation could solve everything.
I thought that as long as I had a high level of cultivation, I could solve 99% of the problems in this world.
From a practical point of view, there is actually no big problem with his idea.
The only problem was that he encountered Lu Chen, the one percent that was beyond common sense.
This is not a crime of war...
But Ji Yuan was not aware of this. He just looked at Lu Chen who was walking towards him.
Understand that you don't have much time left.
When Lu Chen approached, Ji Yuan subconsciously asked, "Are there many cultivators with your level of cultivation in Qingyun Sect?"
Facing Ji Yuan's question, Lu Chen thought for a moment and said, "... as many as the stars."
If one is only at the Foundation Establishment stage, then there are indeed many such people in the Qingyun Sect, as numerous as stars.
After all, any formal disciple of Qingyun Sect has reached the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Therefore, Lu Chen's answer was not a lie.
Although cultivation is cultivation, techniques are techniques, and Tao is Tao.
But who asked Ji Yuan to only ask about his cultivation and nothing else? After hearing Lu Chen's answer, Ji Yuan immediately smiled bitterly.
"As many as the stars?"
It was a pity that he had been thinking of waiting until the sacrificial ceremony in the imperial city was completed.
He can then occupy a place in this vast world of immortal cultivation.
Now it seems that he still thought things were simple.
The foundation of Qingyun Sect, as the number one sect in the world, is simply beyond the imagination of a mortal like him who has never entered the world of immortal cultivation.
Lu Chen came up to Ji Yuan and looked down at him.
"Tell me, how did you come into contact with the Black Lotus?"
Maybe he felt that he was going to die anyway, so there was no point in keeping the secret.
So Ji Yuan just spoke directly.
"In my dream..."
"In a dream?"
Lu Chen was a little surprised to hear this answer.
Ji Yuan nodded and said with some emotion: "When I was still a prince, I heard the voice of the Buddha Mother in my dream for the first time."
"At that time, I was just an unpopular thirteenth prince. Even if I was just a mortal without any talent for cultivation, the throne would not fall to me."
"It's the other brothers who are higher in rank and have no cultivation."
"Perhaps the reason why the Buddha Mother sent me a dream is because she observed my desire for the throne."
"So when the Buddha Mother first proposed the deal, I chose to accept it without hesitation."
"After this deal, the Buddha Mother promised that as long as I can support the Black Lotus Sect to become the state religion of the Great Yan Dynasty after becoming the emperor, the Buddha Mother will help me seize the throne."
"This was undoubtedly an offer that I couldn't refuse, so I agreed at the time."
"And within a few years after I reached an agreement with the Buddha Mother, my brothers who were also qualified to compete for the throne began to encounter accidents one after another."
"Some of them died suddenly of illness, some died unexpectedly. In just a few short years, most of the brothers who were ranked before me in the order of succession actually met with accidents and lost their qualifications to compete for the throne."
"For some reason, the few remaining opponents all assumed that I was the one who did all this in secret."
"So in order to save their lives, they all gave up their fight for the throne."
"After a few rounds, I ascended the throne smoothly."
"At first I thought that as long as I became the emperor, I would be satisfied."
"But I still underestimated the greed of human nature. The more I get, the more I want."
"Although I own the entire Great Yan Dynasty and am above everyone else, I am still just a mortal after all."
"So I met the Buddha Mother for the second time in my dream. She told me that I only needed to build a huge sacrificial formation under the Imperial City and sacrifice all the people of the Imperial City to her."
“Then He can not only grant me the cultivation I have always dreamed of, but also enable me to achieve immortality, which is unattainable in many immortal cultivation circles…”
After hearing this, Lu Chen almost understood the whole story of the Great Yan Dynasty.
The starting point of everything, from Ji Yuanmeng to the Black Lotus Buddha Mother.
This led to a series of subsequent events.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen once again understood Gu Qie's miraculous skills.
They were actually able to cross two worlds and send a message to a dynasty emperor in a dream without alarming anyone.
This method is indeed somewhat mysterious and unpredictable.
At the same time, Ji Yuan looked at Lu Chen who had fallen into silence, and quietly raised his hands behind his back.
On his left hand, there was a carving of a dragon head that looked like half a bone dragon throne.
The reason why he said so much to Lu Chen was to delay time.
That’s right, even at this point, Ji Yuan has not thought of giving up.
After all, even ants try to survive, let alone Emperor Ji Yuan who is so obsessed with immortality.
He loves this world more than anyone else.
But before Ji Yuan could take any action, Lu Chen suddenly said, "Master, Sect Leader Gu, did you two hear what he said?"
Ji Yuan was shocked.
Anyone else here?!
As if in response to Lu Chen's words, three figures quickly walked out from the shadows.
Seeing these three people, Ji Yuan was completely desperate.
He might not even be Lu Chen's opponent in a one-on-one fight, not to mention that there were three people who were obviously great monks.
These three people were Qingyun Sect's headmaster Gu Liqing and Linghuo Taoist Jing Gong.
And the head of Yuxu Mountain, Red Maple Master Ji Qiushui.
Jing Gong casually glanced at Ji Yuan, who was sitting on the ground with a grim look on his face.
Then he looked at Lu Chen who was not far away and said, "You brought us here just to let us know about the Black Lotus Sect?"
Lu Chen nodded without even looking at Ji Yuan lying on the ground.
He calmly replied, "Some things I have no evidence for, and it is difficult to attract the attention of the sect, so I resorted to this last resort."
"Only when you, Master and I, see with your own eyes the harm of the Black Lotus Sect can you believe what I say."
"They...are definitely not comparable to ordinary magicians."
"Because behind the evil ways there are at most some ancient evil demons, and most of these evil demons have either been exiled or completely sealed, so there is no need to worry about them."
"But the existence behind the Black Lotus Cult is different. They are a group of extraterritorial beings comparable to true immortals and Buddhas."
"If we are not careful, even the True Immortals and Buddhas may be caught in the trap."
I heard Lu Chen speak so seriously about Gu Qie, the man behind the Black Lotus Sect.
Before Jing Gong could speak, Ji Qiushui from Yuxu Mountain could not help but ask, "You said that, have you seen those ancient masters with your own eyes?"
"But with your foundation-building skills, how can you escape unscathed after encountering such a being?"
Lu Chen already had a plan for this.
He looked at Ji Qiushui and said seriously, "Master Fengye, do you know what innate magical power Lu awakened after he achieved the first-grade Dao Immortal Foundation?"
Ji Qiushui was stunned. She didn't expect Lu Chen to suddenly mention this.
With a little curiosity, Ji Qiushui subconsciously asked: "What is it?"
Lu Chen looked at them and said seriously, "Predict the future."
"ah?!"
This exclamation came not only from Ji Qiu Shui, but also from Jing Gong and Gu Liqing.
Lu Chen looked at the three people and said seriously: "Master Gu and my master should know that I have never been to the Great Yan Dynasty and I don't know anyone here, so it is naturally impossible for me to make enemies with the people here."
"But I chose to come here as soon as I broke through because I saw and foresaw part of the future of the Great Yan Dynasty."
"At first, I was also wondering how a Qingyun Sect cultivator like me could predict the Great Yan Dynasty thousands of miles away."
"But as I saw more and more precognitive images in my dreams, I gradually understood the reason."
"That is the Great Yan Dynasty. Perhaps it is the origin of all future disasters, or... one of the origins."
"Because in the future I foresaw, there weren't many scenes related to the Great Yan Dynasty. Most of the scenes I foresaw were related to my sect."
Hearing this, Gu Liqing chose to believe first and then question.
So he asked Lu Chen, "So what happened to my clan in the scene you predicted?"
As he said this, Gu Liqing's expression became more serious than ever before.
Because at this time he was talking to Lu Chen as the head of Qingyun Sect.
Lu Chen looked at Gu Liqing and knew that his next words would be crucial.
Because this determines whether Qingyun Sect will pay attention to the Black Lotus Sect and other evil forces in advance.
After all, the Black Lotus Sect is only a relatively powerful force in the ancient world.
It does not mean that the Black Lotus Sect is the only force in the ancient world.
After Lu Chen recalled the scenes in several copies in his mind for a while, he said seriously: "People die and the sect is destroyed. This is the ending of my sect that I predicted."
“…”
After hearing this, Gu Liqing and the other two fell silent.
After a moment, Gu Liqing said seriously: "How do you prove that what you said is a prophecy and not your imagination?"
You should know that there have always been some charlatans in the world of cultivating immortals who claim to be able to see the secrets of heaven.
Some of these people have real talent and knowledge, while others rely solely on verbal deception.
Therefore, Gu Liqing did not believe Lu Chen’s words at the first time. After all, what he said... was too shocking.
You should know that behind the Qingyun Sect there are not only ancestors in the God Transformation Stage, but even in the Mahayana Stage.
There is even a Yun Sect on the thirty-third heaven.
It is definitely not an easy task to destroy the Qingyun Sect.
That would require the destruction of the Yun Sect on the Thirty-Three Heavens as well.
In response to Gu Liqing's question, Lu Chen did not answer immediately. Instead, he pierced the throat of the defenseless Ji Yuan next to him with a sword, taking his life.
[You killed the Holy Son of the Black Lotus Sect·Ji Yuan (Golden Core Stage 1/Second Grade Heavenly Dao Golden Core), you gained 800,000 experience points, the Outer Dao Spiritual Treasure·Mi Ya (Imitation), Soul Crystal Fragment (Purple)*10, Skill·Great Wilderness Sword Technique...]
[You have completed the main task and killed the evildoer]
[You have obtained 100,000 experience points, mysterious heavenly fragment*1]
In addition to these, Lu Chen's Black Dragon Sword continued to absorb the pure golden elixir power in Ji Yuan's body, and imprisoned Ji Yuan's soul in the Black Dragon Sword.
[Your Black Dragon Sword meets the requirements for advancement to the third realm, and the weapon spirit is being born...]
[Note: During the stage of cultivating the weapon spirit, the Black Dragon Sword is temporarily unusable]
After doing all this, Lu Chen turned and looked at Gu Liqing.
"Master, there are some things I can only say to you right now..."
After hearing Lu Chen's words, Ji Qiu Shui and Jing Gong looked at each other and left tactfully.
Soon, Lu Chen and Gu Liqing were the only ones left in the underground space.
Not only that, Gu Liqing also casually set up a formation around him to ensure that only he and Lu Chen knew what was going to happen next.
"Okay, I have sealed off this world, and I guarantee that no one will hear our next conversation."
Lu Chen nodded and then spoke.
"Master, don't you want me to produce evidence? Then I will tell you about some of the forbidden areas of our sect that I saw in my foresight."
"The Dragon Locking Golden Tripod on Kangding Peak, and the Sword Pressure Stone on the third floor of the Sword Pavilion on Cangjian Peak, did I say anything wrong?"
Gu Liqing looked at Lu Chen in shock, as if he didn't expect Lu Chen to be able to name these two places.
You should know that whether it is the Jiulong Cave on Kangding Peak or the area above the third floor of the Jiange on Cangjian Peak.
Those are all forbidden areas of Qingyun Sect.
Even the true disciples of Qingyun Sect are not allowed to approach this place easily.
After Lu Chen broke through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, Gu Liqing carefully read his files.
It is known that since Lu Chen joined the sect, he has almost always been active in his own Danyang Peak.
I have never been to Cangjian Peak and Kangding Peak.
I don’t really know the disciples from Cangjian Peak and Kangding Peak.
Therefore he shouldn't know these two places.
And that’s not all.
Lu Chen then described in detail the environment of the Nine Dragon Cave and the third floor of Jiange with Gu Liqing.
It looked as if he had actually been to these two places in person.
But Gu Liqing was very sure that Lu Chen could not have been there.
In this case, there is only one possibility.
That is, Lu Chen did use his innate magical powers to predict the future scenes related to these two places.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why he knew so much about the Nine Dragon Cave and the third floor of Jiange.
Just when Lu Chen wanted to say something more, Gu Liqing interrupted him.
"Okay, stop talking, kid. I'll believe you for now."
Lu Chen looked at Gu Liqing with a frown on his face, knowing that he was currently digesting the huge amount of information he had just said.
After an unknown amount of time, Gu Liqing said with a tired look on his face, "So this so-called Black Lotus Sect, and Gu Qie behind them, will be one of the reasons for the demise of our sect in the future?"
Lu Chen nodded, indicating that this was what he wanted to express.
Gu Liqing pinched his brows and said with a headache: "You really gave me a huge problem, but I can feel that you are not lying."
"Okay, I already know what you want to say. I will discuss it with other elders in the sect after I return."
"Don't worry, I will only choose a few trustworthy elders, and during this process, I will not tell anyone about your situation, so you don't have to worry."
Lu Chen was stunned. He didn't expect that Gu Liqing could think of the possibility that there might be evil lurking in Qingyun Sect in such a short time.
However, in order to make Gu Liqing believe his words as soon as possible, Lu Chen decided to provide another key clue.
"Master, in addition to predicting the future of our sect, I also predicted some other scenes."
"Same as here in the Great Yan Dynasty?"
Lu Chen nodded and said, "Well, I predicted a sect called Julingmen. This sect seems to have been occupied by evil. The headmaster may want to send someone to investigate."
"The Giant Spirit Gate..."
Gu Liqing kept these three words in mind, and then replied: "Okay, I will ask my disciples to check this sect called Julingmen later."
"If everything is as you said, then I think there will be results soon."
"The Black Lotus Sect, Gu Qie... I thought the undercurrent in Zhongzhou was just some old guys who wanted to do something because they were unwilling to be lonely."
"But now it seems that things may be more complicated than I thought."
"You brought that girl from Yuxushan here specially. I think you want to tie Yuxushan to my sect's warship as well, right?"
Lu Chen felt a little embarrassed when he heard Gu Liqing point out the real purpose of asking Shangguan Yunmeng to come to the Great Yan Dynasty.
After all, no matter how you look at it, his purpose was to use Shangguan Yunmeng as a gun.
"Don't worry. Although Fellow Daoist Ji has some complaints about you, he didn't blame you too much. After all, nothing happened to that girl, and you meant well."
"But if you have similar plans in the future, it's better to let me know in advance so that I can be prepared."
"After all, along the way, Fellow Daoist Ji said several times that he wanted to break the legs of you guys who abducted his sect's Saint Girl. I spent a lot of effort to appease him."
"For you guys, I'm going to bleed a lot on this trip."
"But forget it. Considering that this is your first offense, I won't bother with you too much."
"But before I finish investigating the Giant Spirit Sect, you should stay in the sect and don't move around."
Hearing this, Lu Chen nodded and said, "Yes, disciple knows."
"It's better for you to know rather than just pay lip service to it."
Gu Liqing glanced at Lu Chen unhappily, clearly not trusting him very much.
You have to know that it’s because of Lu Chen and Jing Gong’s special way of communication.
As a result, Gu Liqing mobilized a large number of troops this time.
Not only did he come in person, he also brought along several Jindan-stage cultivators from the sect.
I’m worried that there won’t be enough people to lead the team and problems will arise.
They only discovered this after they arrived at the Great Yan Imperial City.
What do you mean by lack of manpower? It doesn’t matter if they don’t come!
Relying solely on Lu Chen, Yi Hanqing and others, the problems in the imperial city have been resolved!
However, Gu Liqing did not blame Lu Chen for this. After all, his intentions were good.
"Do you want to travel in the Great Yan Dynasty for a while longer, or go back with us?"
After thinking for a moment, Lu Chen replied, "Disciple still has some things to complete here, and will report back to the sect later."
"Okay, then you better be careful and don't make such a big noise again."
"On my way here, many sects thought that we had some conflict with Yuxu Mountain."
"After today, I will have to explain this to my other old friends so that they don't misunderstand me."
Gu Liqing shook his head and flew towards the collapsed hole in the underground space.
Looking at his back, Lu Chen's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.
After all, telling lies in front of a Yuanying stage master is extremely stressful.
But in a sense, the 'lies' Lu Chen said were not false at all, they were all true.
After all, the innate magical power of 'Three Inches of Time' was indeed the second innate magical power he awakened after breaking through the foundation-building period.
The effect is not much different from 'foreseeing the future'.
Then there were those prophecies he made about the Qingyun Sect.
These prophecies are also his real experiences in the copy, and they are indeed things that will happen in the future.
This is also the reason why Lu Chen has the confidence to convince Gu Liqing.
Because what he said was indeed the 'truth'...
Life is like a play, it all depends on your acting skills.
After this trip to the Great Yan Dynasty, I think Qingyun Sect will soon start to pay attention to the Black Lotus Sect and even the entire evil group...
Thinking of this, Lu Chen immediately looked at his panel.
Because after this time, his experience value... once again broke through the one million mark.
[Current experience value: 1.35 million]
This amount of experience points is enough to upgrade a new skill to the Mirror Breaking level, and upgrade several skills to the Dao Entry level.
This trip to the Great Yan Dynasty was quite fruitful.
