Chapter 436: Outside the Biyou Mountain, the Shangqing Palace, the Zhuqi Formation in the Blue Clouds
East Shenzhou, Shangqing Dao Palace "Uncle Yi, is your fellow apprentice still in seclusion?"
Qu Buhui looked at Yi Hanqing who was sitting alone in the yard and asked tentatively.
In response, Yi Hanqing replied slowly: "What do you mean by my junior brother? He is your uncle and your savior. Don't be rude."
Although I know that what Yi Hanqing said is true.
But Qu Buhui didn't have much real feeling about this.
It can even be said that Qu Buhui was actually very dissatisfied with Lu Chen's sudden appearance.
After all, Yi Hanqing never said it.
But Qu Buhui could feel that since Lu Chen appeared, Yi Hanqing's mood was obviously much better than before.
This is something that has not happened in more than ten years.
It can be seen how important Lu Chen, his junior brother, is in Yi Hanqing's heart.
This made Qu Buhui feel a little jealous.
Although she wanted Lu Chen to leave earlier.
But there is never a suitable reason.
Just when Qu Buhui wanted to find out about Lu Chen's situation and find out the other party's purpose of coming to Shangqing Taoist Palace.
Yi Hanqing, who was originally lying on the rattan chair, suddenly sat up.
He stared at the gate of the courtyard, and soon Lu Chen walked in.
Yi Hanqing looked at Lu Chen at this moment, and always felt that something had happened to him, but he couldn't feel it clearly.
But thinking about the reason why Lu Chen had been in seclusion some time ago.
Yi Hanqing said, "Junior brother, have you successfully broken through?"
Lu Chen nodded.
Upon receiving this news, Yi Hanqing's expression was very complicated.
One is to feel happy for Lu Chen.
After all, when Lu Chen came, he was already a cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.
The current breakthrough is naturally the Spirit Transformation Stage.
A cultivator in the God Transformation Stage is a well-deserved strong man not only in East Shenzhou, but also in the entire Central Plains.
Most people would say "Venerable" when they see him.
Who could have thought that when he was a sword cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, Lu Chen had not yet started practicing.
But now he is only a Jindan stage cultivator, while Lu Chen is already in the Shenhua stage.
The gap between the two sides is so huge that it makes people sigh.
This is also the reason why Yi Hanqing feels complicated.
Although he was full of confidence in himself and his determination was firm.
But facing Lu Chen's unprecedented talent in cultivation, Yi Hanqing still couldn't be sure whether he could catch up with him in the future.
It can only be said that the more Yi Hanqing knew about Lu Chen's past, the more he realized how terrifying his junior brother was.
Perhaps he saw the complexity in Yi Hanqing's heart.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Brother, you look like you're about to break through, right?"
Yi Hanqing was stunned for a moment, then replied: "Junior brother, you have a good eye. Thanks to you, the problem that has been bothering me has indeed been solved. It won't be long before I can try to break through."
As soon as Lu Chen said this, before he could say anything, Qu Buhui beside him asked in surprise: "Uncle Yi, you mean, you are finally going to prepare for the Nascent Soul breakthrough?!"
As one of the people who knows Yi Hanqing best in Shangqing Taoist Palace.
Qu Buhui knew too well how difficult Yi Hanqing's life had been over the years.
On the one hand, he had to help himself practice, and on the other hand, he had to suppress his powerful inner demons.
If it weren’t for Yi Hanqing’s outstanding talent in cultivation and his firm determination in Taoism.
If it were someone else, he would have fallen into the devil's way and been completely lost.
"After so many years, it's time for this."
Yi Hanqing's tone was full of emotion.
It seemed that he did not expect that he could overcome the problem that seemed almost unsolvable to him back then.
All we can say is that the magic of Immortal Gu Yue can indeed turn decay into magic.
If it weren't for this magical technique, he would have been trapped in the Jindan stage for his entire life.
Or one day you will be controlled by your inner demons.
But there are not so many ifs in this world.
The appearance of Lu Chen finally made his wish come true.
"Junior brother, since you have successfully broken through, I would like to trouble you to come and help me protect the Dao in three days."
"It is so."
Three days later, a thundercloud accompanied by a heavenly calamity appeared in the back mountain of Shangqing Taoist Temple.
All the disciples who were still in Shangqing Taoist Palace soon learned the news that the master was going to make a breakthrough.
The sect leader could fight against those in Yuanying stage when he was still in Jindan stage.
If he breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage, he will be able to fight against a cultivator in the Spiritual Transformation stage even if he cannot.
But being invincible in the same realm is not a big problem.
Although the heavenly tribulation caused by Yi Hanqing was not as exaggerated as Lu Chen's Nascent Soul tribulation that year.
But it's also very scary.
But this is a shocking natural disaster that only occurs once in a thousand years.
But it still did not cause too much trouble to Yi Hanqing.
Successful breakthrough.
There is such a powerful sword cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage.
The status of Shangqing Taoist Palace in East Shenzhou immediately rose.
And for some unknown reason, after the head of Shangqing Taoist Palace, Yi Hanqing, entered the Nascent Soul stage.
He changed his previous low-key attitude and began to reorganize the entire East Shenzhou cultivation world.
The first to bear the brunt of this were the large number of demon cultivators that appeared after the destruction of the Donghai Gate.
If the Shangqing Taoist Palace wanted to go to war with these evil cultivators before Yi Hanqing's breakthrough, it would most likely end up in failure.
But after Yi Hanqing successfully broke through, the situation suddenly reversed.
The Nascent Soul stage is already the top existence in Eastern Shenzhou.
And now Yi Hanqing is the best among these Nascent Soul cultivators.
In this way, with Yi Hanqing coming forward, it would be equivalent to taking the lead for all the sects in East Shenzhou.
Gradually, all the righteous sects in East Shenzhou were united.
Under such circumstances, a war soon swept across the entire East Shenzhou.
Although the strength of these demon cultivators is quite good.
Behind the scenes, there is the secret support of Shiduodong.
But their strength is still not comparable to the major sects that have been rooted in East Shenzhou for many years.
Therefore, except for some troubles caused to the East Shenzhou Sect in the beginning.
But the situation afterwards was a series of setbacks.
Faced with such a desperate situation, some demonic sects in Eastern Shenzhou began to seek help from the Shiqie Cave.
But what made them feel despair was that the Shiduodong, who had been able to be contacted before, seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth.
What they didn’t know was that just a while ago.
The Shidadong stronghold in the East China Sea has been uprooted.
Although this does not mean that Shiduodong will never be able to return to Qingyun Realm.
But it also delayed their progress.
It bought the Qingyun Realm a lot of time.
During this process, some things also happened in Qingyun Sect.
One of them was that the Jinggong lineage of the Danyang Peak lineage of the Qingyun Sect was preparing to set up its own sect, so they left the Qingyun Sect with their disciples and headed for Southern Shenzhou.
Although outsiders don't know what happened in this.
But everyone found out the news.
That means from now on, the Jing Palace lineage and the Qingyun Sect will no longer have any relationship.
Although only one lineage left Qingyun Sect.
But at this special time, Qingyun Sect is the number one sect in Qingyun Realm.
His every move is closely watched by the outside world.
However, there is the Black Lotus Sect at the border between Southern Shenzhou and Zhongzhou.
As a result, the outside world eventually lost any clues about the Jing Palace lineage.
There is no way to know their every move in Southern Shenzhou.
In fact, what the outside world doesn’t know is.
It wasn't just the Jinggong lineage that left Qingyun Sect.
King Wumiao of Qingyun Main Peak, the Peak Master of Wanfu Peak and other disciples also left Qingyun Sect.
But because of the affairs of the Jing Palace, the outside world was attracted by the affairs of the Jing Palace.
Didn't notice this change.
And because the Thirty-Three Heavens has not responded.
This resulted in a temporary stalemate in the war between the Qingyun Realm and the Nine Realms.
Under the original situation of fighting on three fronts, the Qingyun Realm was already beginning to be unable to cope.
But the sudden fall of Shidadong suddenly relieved this pressure.
However, Shiduodong did not give up and continued to look for an opportunity to return to the Qingyun Realm.
In order to prevent this, the Qingyun Immortal Cultivation World sent out a number of people to supervise the matter.
Once any suspected evil is discovered, take immediate action to suppress it.
However, because the evil ones are very good at hiding themselves, and there are suspected to be many evil ones hiding in the world of immortal cultivation today.
As a result, it is still very difficult for the Qingyun cultivation community to completely eliminate the small actions of the Corpse Cave.
Neither Zhongzhou nor the Nine Realms noticed the changes in the four states outside Zhongzhou.
In the four states, four different sword towers were being built quietly.
These sword gates may not be visible at first, but as long as the time is right, they will show their usefulness.
Real world, Jiuyao Tiandu
To the outside world, Lu Chen had already been in seclusion in Jiuyao Tiandu for three full years.
Three years is just a blink of an eye for a monk.
But for mortals, it is not a short period of time.
And it was because of this retreat that Lu Chen missed the Taoist Academy Competition held every two years.
However, given Lu Chen's current situation, even if he wanted to participate, other Taoist academies might not be willing.
After all, in the last Taoist Academy Competition, Lu Chen almost managed to suppress the other four Taoist academies alone.
Although it is unclear how Lu Chen has changed in recent years.
But everyone agreed that Lu Chen would only become more powerful than before.
After all, Lu Chen, a freshman, is the best among his peers.
What's more, he is a senior.
Jiu Yao Tiandu, Mu Yao Star Territory.
Hua Ling, who was watering the flowers in her cave, suddenly sensed something and raised her head.
Lu Chen arrived in front of her cave at some point.
Although Lu Chen's current cultivation level has not changed at all from three years ago.
But Hua Ling sensed a hint of danger from Lu Chen.
This is undoubtedly astonishing for a half-step mortal being.
"It seems that a lot has happened to you in the past three years."
"Well, a lot of things did happen, and I gained a lot."
As he spoke, Lu Chen walked into Hua Ling's cave.
"Friend Hua said before that Biyou Mountain had passed me a message when I was in seclusion. I wonder what that message was?"
Hearing this, Hua Ling seemed to suddenly remember something, so she answered, "That's indeed the case."
Hua Ling recalled carefully and finally remembered what the message was from Biyou Mountain at that time.
"The message from Biyou Mountain is very simple. They hope you will go there within five years."
"There is still some time before the deadline. Are you ready to leave right away, or will you need some time to prepare?"
Lu Chen thought about it and felt that he still had some things to accomplish.
So I decided to wait another year before going to Biyou Mountain.
And heard that Lu Chen was not ready to leave immediately.
Hua Ling immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing this, Lu Chen asked curiously, "It is Lu who is going to Biyou Mountain, why is Fellow Daoist Hua so hesitant?"
It seemed that he felt that Lu Chen was not an outsider.
Hua Ling simply told her relationship with Biyoushan.
"To be honest, my master is actually the owner of Biyou Mountain, Baiyu Lusong."
"Your master is Baiyu Lusong?"
Hua Ling nodded.
"But if I remember correctly, haven't you been staying in Jiuyao Tiandu since you were born?"
Hua Ling explained with a smile: "For the human race, I have indeed been in Jiuyao Tiandu since I was born."
“But for spiritual plants, enlightenment is the real rebirth.”
"My roots are in Biyou Mountain, but later my master planted them in the Muyao Star Region."
Lu Chen didn't expect that there was such a relationship between Hua Ling and Biyou Mountain.
"Since it's from Biyou Mountain, why do you seem a little reluctant to go there?"
"Logically speaking, Biyou Mountain shouldn't be too resistant to you."
Hua Ling said helplessly, "Every time I went there, my master really wouldn't do anything to me, but the other juniors in the mountains were more troublesome."
"They always ask me some weird questions and ask me to help carry some weird things."
“This makes me feel like I’m shopping for someone every time I come back.”
"If it were just these, it would be fine. The main thing is that Master has been in the mountains for many years and seems to have no one to learn from. Therefore, every time I go there, Master will test me in the name of assessment."
"Although I am only halfway into the mortal world, how can I compare to my master, a true immortal."
"How many people like to be beaten up for no reason?"
After hearing this, Lu Chen finally understood why Hua Ling was so conflicted.
She felt just like Lu Chen going to his teacher's house in his previous life.
It’s not that you can’t go, nor that the relationship is bad.
But in that kind of situation, there is always some inexplicable restraint.
"But because of you, fellow Daoist, I have no choice but to go this time."
"So, it is Mr. Lu who has implicated you, Fellow Daoist Hua."
Hua Ling waved her hand indifferently and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Even if you don't go, I will go there later."
"It's just a coincidence now."
Not knowing what he was thinking of, Lu Chen suddenly changed the subject.
"Fellow Daoist Hua, do you know the relationship between Biyou Mountain and Shangqing Dao Palace?"
As soon as Lu Chen said this, Hua Ling's expression changed instantly.
Then she changed her previous kind expression and became extremely serious.
"Where did you get this information?"
After thinking for a moment, Lu Chen gave an ambiguous answer.
"I got this clue from the cave of an ancient swordsman."
"Ancient swordsman?"
Hua Ling was silent for a moment, then said, "Daoist Lu, did you see a sentence in that cave?"
"What?"
"That means, outside of Biyou Mountain, in the Shangqing Palace, in the blue clouds... the Zhuqi Formation."
