Chapter 394 Those four walls are just four swords
"Five cranes ascending the platform, is this the essence of Daqian Mountain... No, there is something deeper here."
Lu Chen felt that something was wrong after he saw the Winged Venerable Zuo Qiuan cut off his own arms as a sacrifice and absorbed the crane wings from the Five Cranes Stage.
He thought about it carefully and found that by doing this, Zuo Qiuan seemed to have absorbed some special power, which allowed him to break free from the shackles, break through the Nascent Soul stage, and reach the God Transformation stage.
But there is a problem here.
The essence of the Spirit Transformation Stage is to align the body with the Tao.
Whether it is a cultivator or someone like Gu Qie.
Although the way of walking is very different.
But the final result is the same.
But when Zuo Qiuan did this, was what he was trying to achieve really the "Tao"?
But if what is in harmony is not the Tao.
It is also difficult to explain why Zuo Qiuan in the picture’s cultivation level immediately rose to the Spirit Transformation Stage after absorbing the strange crane wings.
Even though it's just a fragment of memory.
But even if it was just a fragment, Lu Chen could still make the conclusion.
Zuo Qiuan in the picture is currently a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage.
"Strange, what on earth makes me feel that something is wrong..."
Lu Chen frowned, as if he had grasped something.
But the feeling was so vague that Lu Chen couldn't grasp the real key.
At this moment, Zuo Qiuan in the memory fragment was immersed in the joy of breakthrough.
"Hahaha, it's done, I, the Taoist, have finally done it!"
Zuo Qiuan spread his wings and flapped them excitedly.
Although the newly grafted crane wings didn't seem to be well integrated with his body.
So much so that the wound was still oozing blood.
But Zuo Qiuan seemed to be unable to feel any of this and was still immersed in ecstasy. His expression was even distorted with excitement and looked inhuman.
And in a place that Zuo Qiuan didn't notice, the thousand-year-old man not far away showed a strange smile.
At first glance, that smile seemed to be expressing happiness for Zuo Qiuan.
But if you look closely, you can see something weird in it.
It's like the expression a spider makes when it sees its prey fall into its web.
However, Zuo Qiuan, who was immersed in joy, did not notice any of this.
As a bystander, Lu Chen noticed the abnormality immediately.
In a split second, Lu Chen seemed to have thought of something and looked down at the bottom of the Wuhe Dengtai.
Below the Five Cranes Stage is a huge piece of black fleshy Ganoderma lucidum.
This Ganoderma lucidum itself seems to have no intelligence. It has magical powers but is unable to use them.
But what if it was just pretending? This made Lu Chen think of some plants in his previous life.
As an existence at the bottom of the food chain in nature.
Plants live differently from animals.
Some plants that have the ability to hunt are far less intuitive and efficient than animals in their hunting efficiency.
But because of their own weakness, plants are rarely noticed by other predators.
This also creates conditions for them to camouflage themselves and use other animals to hunt.
The Ganoderma lucidum under the Five Cranes Stage was very large, so large that if Lu Chen was not in a God's perspective, he could see the entire picture to a certain extent.
Otherwise, he would even think that this place was just an ordinary cave, and the black ground was just a special decoration here.
"The way of the immortals is to steal. In the world of immortal cultivation, there are many spiritual plants that have cultivated into spirits and transformed from mortals into immortals. There is no reason why there are none in the Nine Realms of Ancient He."
"In nature, some plants will first give their branches, leaves, flowers and fruits to other animals or insects, allowing them to help them with the so-called hunting, thus achieving a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship."
"If this Ganoderma lucidum is the same, then it can also lend its power to other people in Daqian Mountain first, and then use them to get what it wants."
"Yes, that's right. Zuo Qiuan didn't break through to the Spiritual Transformation Stage. He was borrowed the power of the Spiritual Transformation Stage by someone else."
“Otherwise, even if Zuo Qiuan is extremely talented, it would be impossible for him to break through the shackles of Yuanying and Huashen cultivators overnight.”
"If this is true, then the entire Daqian Mountain may be an alternative ecology."
"Everyone here is trying to borrow more power from a certain being in different ways."
As he thought about it, Lu Chen felt that he had grasped the key.
And the key lies in the relationship between Gu Qie and the monk Gu Qie.
If we compare the cultivation in the world of immortals to starting a business on your own and being responsible for your own profits and losses.
Then the practice of monk Gu Qie is just working for others.
How much "salary" you get depends on your own work level and the other party's offer.
The former has high risks and unknown returns, but it has the advantage of autonomy and a strong upper limit.
The latter has low risk and fixed returns, but there is a clear upper limit. It is easy to be controlled by others and lose control of your own destiny.
If you think deeply about it, the ancient monks may look upon the ancient monks just like a rancher looks upon his livestock.
Once fattened up, it can be served on the table at any time.
As for the nature of this Ganoderma lucidum, Lu Chen also found the relevant name in his memory.
This meat Ganoderma lucidum is none other than the so-called 'Black Tai Sui'.
That is, the thing transformed from the polluted spiritual veins of heaven and earth.
In this regard, Black Tai Sui is actually the same type of existence as the Golden Dragon of Fortune.
In the world of immortal cultivation, there is a unified name for special creatures like this... the innate spirit.
However, the core of Daqianshan's cultivation is to transform oneself into an innate spirit.
Lu Chen had to connect the two together.
"I gave up my mortal body to seek the great way to enter the innate realm. But is this innate realm...really myself?"
Looking at Zuo Qiuan, who didn't notice anything unusual in the picture and was still extremely excited, Lu Chen couldn't help but sigh.
After experiencing the gift of the Five Cranes ascending the platform, Zuo Qiuan's following days became much more stable.
He not only became one of the five true venerables of Daqian Mountain.
It can even directly start mobilizing the resources of Daqianshan.
This includes the exploration of Wan Da Tomb.
But such days changed more than a hundred years later.
The Winged Venerable Zuoqiuan, when he was 682 years old.
"Master, you're looking for me?"
At that time, Zuo Qiuan had been in the position of Daqianshan Venerable for more than a hundred years.
He has already developed the temperament of a superior being that is extraordinary and otherworldly.
During this more than one hundred years, the Winged Venerable Zuoqiuan arranged several explorations of the Wanqi Tomb.
And in this process, a certain degree of cooperation was carried out with other ancient sects.
Among them was Lu Chen’s old friend, the Black Lotus Sect.
Mahakala of the Black Lotus Sect in the south.
Daqian Mountains are among the hundred thousand mountains in the west.
Both ancient sects are located in the forbidden areas marked by the Immortal Alliance.
This made Lu Chen wonder whether there were similar sects in the remaining two forbidden areas.
The reason why he didn't receive similar messages.
Or it could be because the other two sects were very well hidden.
Or it’s because they hardly move around in the Immortal Alliance.
This can be seen from Zuo Qiuan’s memory.
Lu Chen prefers the former.
Because during the past hundred years, Zuo Qiuan had not only come into contact with the Black Lotus Sect, but also some other sects that Lu Chen didn't know about.
Among them, even the righteous sects within the Immortal Alliance are included.
That’s right, even some of the sects in the Immortal Alliance are involved with Daqian Mountain.
This is undoubtedly a very bad signal.
It also made Lu Chen feel a familiar breath.
After all, Lu Chen had witnessed a similar scene with his own eyes.
However, compared to what the thousand-year-old man has to do now, those things can be postponed for the time being.
At this time, at the top of Hetou Mountain, all the five venerable masters of Daqian Mountain gathered together.
Among them, the Thousand-Year-Old Man, as the master of Hetou Mountain, is not only one of the Five Venerables, but also the head of Daqian Mountain.
The thousand-year-old man at this time was so old that he couldn't even stand up straight.
He staggered with every step, as if he would fall at any moment.
But even so, the other four Great Qianshan Venerables still did not dare to have any bad intentions towards the Thousand-Year-Old Man.
Because during this hundred years or so, there was a Daqianshan Venerable who felt that the Thousand-Year-Old Man seemed to be approaching the end of his life, so he secretly took action and wanted to replace him.
The inferior defeats the superior, which is a fine tradition of Daqian Mountain and even the entire ancient world. It is not surprising.
But the result is obvious, after all, the thousand-year-old man is still alive and well.
Instead, the Lord of Feet was replaced by a different person.
Today, the thousand-year-old old man called all the venerables here, of course, not to chat.
Several venerables sat below the thousand-year-old man, waiting earnestly for him to take his seat.
After sitting down, the thousand-year-old man placed his walking stick on the ground, placed his hands on it, and looked up at everyone.
"My disciples, I can sense that the opportunity for our long-awaited ascension... has appeared."
"!!!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the four venerables present all showed shocked expressions.
Then Zuo Qiuan, who was more impatient, spoke first: "Master, are you serious?"
The other venerables did not speak.
But looking at their expressions, it was obvious that they were all following the thousand-year-old man's answer.
The thousand-year-old man looked at Zuo Qiuan and said with a smile, "Of course it's true."
After receiving the affirmative answer from the thousand-year-old man, everyone could no longer contain their excitement. They all looked excited and eager to try.
After all, becoming a monk is an irresistible temptation for all monks.
For those venerables who are almost halfway to reaching that realm.
The temptation is even more obvious.
However, the thousand-year-old man did not immediately say what the chance of success was.
Instead, he changed the subject and asked, "I asked you to investigate the truth of Biyou Mountain. What was the result?"
Hearing this, Yu Zhizun, who was in charge of the entire matter, immediately said, "Master, although that person still looks like an immortal, he has indeed not taken action for a long time."
"My disciple's attempts were all resolved by his subordinates, and I never took any action myself."
Upon hearing this, the thousand-year-old man nodded calmly, as if he was not surprised.
Taking this opportunity, Venerable Yu expressed the doubts that had been buried in his heart for a long time.
"Master, I still cannot fully understand her methods and cultivation even now. May I ask if she is... an immortal?"
The thousand-year-old man was silent for a moment, then said, "Yes, but also no."
The Venerable Yu, Tan Tai Chang Sheng, frowned, not quite understanding the meaning of these words.
Perhaps the time had come, and the thousand-year-old man now said something he had never said before.
"His background is very complicated. Not only is it difficult to explain in a few words, but it also contains many ancient secrets. Knowing them will not do you much good."
"All you need to know is that the one currently active in Biyou Mountain is just someone's sword."
"Her true body has never really moved."
"A sword?!"
The four venerables present were all stunned when they heard this.
You know, although they have never seen the fairies from Biyou Mountain take action with their own eyes.
But he had also seen the noise caused by the other party from afar.
The Wan'e Tomb is terrifying, with the corpses of the mysterious ancient gods wandering around everywhere.
If one is not careful, even a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage can easily be killed.
But similar corpses are everywhere in the Wanqie Tomb.
But such a terrifying forbidden area was blocked by Biyou Mountain.
And from time to time he would teach the restless ones a lesson.
This is enough to show the strength of Biyou Mountain.
But even though Biyou Mountain is so powerful, you said it was just someone's sword.
This surprised and frightened everyone.
After all, just a sword is so terrifying.
They simply couldn't imagine how powerful the owner of this sword was.
Although I am very curious about what secrets this Biyou Mountain hides.
Not only did the Thousand-Year-Old Man and other former leaders of the Great Qian Mountain feel inexplicably fearful of this, but they also warned everyone not to easily step into the Biyou Mountain.
However, considering the strength shown by Biyou Mountain, the venerables who valued their lives ultimately did not delve into the topic.
After all, although Biyoushan is strong, they seem to have some limitations.
Never left Biyou Mountain.
Compared to the topic of Biyou Mountain, what the thousand-year-old man said next shocked everyone present, and even Lu Chen who was watching the memory.
"Haha, not only Biyou Mountain, but also the Four Great Walls of the Immortal Alliance, what do you think they are made of?"
The Yu Zhi Zun, Tan Tai Chang Sheng, was stunned for a moment, and then said in disbelief: "Master, what you mean is..."
"Yes, those four walls are nothing more than four scabbards after all."
"Break the wall? Haha, on the day when the wall is broken, no one inside or outside the wall will be spared."
"At least for those of you present here, there is absolutely no chance of survival."
"But that's not what I want to talk about today. What I want to talk about is the plan for my next lesson."
"In the next period of time, I will leave an avatar in the sect and go to the Immortal Alliance in person to look for the opportunity to become a master."
"If everything goes well, then you just need to wait here patiently."
"If something unexpected happens, you will do as I say next."
After hearing this, all the venerables began to listen carefully to the arrangements of the thousand-year-old man.
And these arrangements are exactly the same as the situation Lu Chen is facing now.
Including a thousand-year-old man being trapped, and asking others to find a way to break out of the prison.
It seemed as if the thousand-year-old man had foreseen that he would encounter the situation he was facing hundreds of years ago...
