Chapter 944 New Guest Retainer, Splitting the Spirit Vein
Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng knew that Bai Zhaozhao had not given up on inviting him to fight against the great calamity of the demonic path.
But he really had no interest in that kind of thing.
As for where I can help?
Most of the things he was dealing with were trivial matters, and the other party could only offer him very limited help.
The greatest help might be to produce several Bai Ze bloodlines with top-tier divination talents.
“Fellow Daoist Bai, the great calamity of the demonic path is an inevitable trend that cannot be influenced by the power of one person alone,” Lu Changsheng said, shaking his head.
"I am very grateful that you are willing to help me with divination. If you need anything in the future, you can come to Jiang Kingdom to find me."
Lu Changsheng smiled and said that he had a good impression of the girl in front of him.
If the other party encounters trouble and seeks his protection, he is still willing to help.
However, given the other party's identity, background, and strength, they probably wouldn't need my protection.
"With a righteous heart, how can a true lord bear to watch the people suffer?"
Because of the matter of Bai Xi's bloodline, Bai Zhaozhao firmly believed that the Yangming True Lord in front of her was a benevolent gentleman with a righteous heart who was willing to help the common people.
Lu Changsheng's face twitched as he looked at the girl, who appeared slightly tired, with a resolute expression and a hint of pity in her eyes.
Having cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage, yet still so naive, taking the salvation of all living beings as his own responsibility—it's truly...
Although he thought it was a bit silly, Lu Changsheng still respected this kind of person.
He sighed softly, "The world is like a sea of suffering. I can only barely cross it myself and cannot take care of others."
Bai Zhaozhao subconsciously wanted to say, with the strength of a True Monarch, apart from a Nascent Soul Grand True Monarch and a few late Nascent Soul Grand Cultivators, what else could threaten him? Could it be him?
But considering that the two had only known each other for a short time.
According to rumors, the other party is a reincarnation of a great cultivator, with a mysterious origin, and may bring trouble and crisis.
She pursed her pink lips and said earnestly, "Zhao Zhao sincerely wants to help the True Lord, without seeking anything in return. She only hopes that one day, the True Lord can do his part in the face of the world's people."
Through the intertwining of two destinies, she has determined that Lu Changsheng is the anomaly recorded in the sect's records.
I plan to stay in Jiang Kingdom for a long time, befriend Lu Changsheng, and try my best to persuade him to fight against the great calamity.
At the same time, take this opportunity to witness firsthand how extraordinary the rumored anomalies truly are.
Why is he so highly valued by the patriarch and the sect?
Lu Changsheng frowned slightly in response to Bai Zhaozhao's words.
what happened?
Was he conquered by his own kingly aura?
Lu Changsheng was very happy to receive Bai Zhaozhao's help for free.
They were even willing to offer high salaries to invite the other party to serve as a guest advisor.
But the other party asked for nothing in return, only hoping that he could contribute to the world in the future, which really gave Lu Changsheng a hard time.
"I wonder why Fellow Daoist Bai values me so highly?" Lu Changsheng asked.
Although the strength he has demonstrated makes him worthy of being courted by major powers at great cost.
Bai Zhaozhao's behavior left him somewhat puzzled.
Bai Zhaozhao said softly, "As True Lord knows, Zhaozhao comes from the Tianyan Sect. Our Tianyan Sect's cultivation technique, the Tianyan Technique, can sense a person's fortune and destiny in the dark."
"The fortune and destiny I sensed in True Lord far surpassed those of others I had ever seen. If other cultivators were like a constellation of stars, then True Lord was like the sun and moon in the sky."
"According to the records of my Tianyan Sect, only True Monarchs can influence the course of a great calamity or a great era."
The concept of anomalies is a concept used by their Tianyan Sect, and it's difficult to explain in detail.
Therefore, she used a simpler and more colloquial language to explain why she valued Lu Changsheng so much.
"Sensing destiny and fate?"
Lu Changsheng was surprised.
I never expected the Tianyan Sect to have such methods.
However, one's own destiny and fate should be beyond the perception of others, as indicated by the Heavenly Treasure Lotus, the Sun and Moon Yin-Yang Mysterious Mirror, and the Lu Clan Genealogy.
In an instant, Lu Changsheng realized what was going on.
He asked Bai Zhaozhao to perform divination, which led to her having unseen knowledge of his fate and destiny.
Suddenly, it dawned on him.
He understood why Bai Zhaozhao valued him so much.
"Other cultivators are like stars in the sky, while I am like the sun and moon shining brightly. Tsk tsk tsk."
Lu Changsheng always knew that he was far superior to other cultivators.
Hearing Bai Zhaozhao's words still brought him a sense of relief and secret pleasure.
After all, the sun and moon shine brightly in the sky, their light enough to illuminate all the stars!
"Indeed, gold shines wherever it is. No matter how I try to conceal it, my magnificent talent and extraordinary abilities will still be discovered and understood by others unintentionally."
Lu Changsheng sighed inwardly, feeling that he had done his best to conceal his brilliance.
But its brilliance was too dazzling, and before one knew it, it was discovered.
"Fellow Daoist Bai truly lives up to his reputation as a disciple of the Heavenly Evolution Sect, possessing such abilities."
Lu Changsheng smiled faintly and said, "But fate and destiny are unpredictable. Aren't you afraid of misjudging me, fellow Daoist?"
As a diviner, he naturally knew the importance of luck to cultivators.
But luck is not absolute.
Just like Xu Ruyin.
As a reincarnation of a great cultivator, possessing an ancient beast-taming talisman, and with the protection of the Daoist Honglian, he is undoubtedly a chosen one, a chosen one of destiny.
But she stole his opportunity, and his fortunes plummeted.
"Zhao Zhao believes in the True Lord." Bai Zhao Zhao said earnestly, her small face delicate, the single horn on her forehead gleaming.
Lu Changsheng thought to himself that the other party was not afraid that he was a bad person.
However, considering that the other party came from the Tianyan Sect, possessed the Bai Ze bloodline, and was proficient in divination, Lu Changsheng instantly felt relieved.
"Regarding the great calamity, I, Wang, cannot give you an accurate answer."
"However, if you are willing to help, I can invite you to serve as a guest advisor."
Lu Changsheng had already witnessed Bai Zhaozhao's divination skills.
With the other party's help, they successfully deduced the situation of Qingluan Zhenjun's daughter, Muque.
With their help, dealing with Luo Fuzi and Xing Wang will be much easier and more efficient.
Not to mention the various conveniences and sense of security brought by having a top-notch diviner to help oversee things.
"Okay." Bai Zhaozhao thought for a moment and then agreed.
Soon after, Bai Zhaozhao became a guest retainer of the Great Dream Immortal City.
In terms of benefits and treatment, Bai Zhaozhao was very casual and did not lack resources; her main concern was Lu Changsheng.
However, Lu Changsheng still provided resources for those at the Nascent Soul level.
After preparing to go to Yangmingshan, I will build her a fourth-level cave dwelling.
"Currently, there are no fourth-order spiritual veins in the Immortal City. Fellow Daoist, you will have to make do for a while."
Lu Changsheng said to Bai Zhaozhao, "I will soon be going to Yangming Mountain to provide you with a fourth-tier cave dwelling."
Despite Bai Zhaozhao's guess that there was a small grotto-heaven within the Great Dream Immortal City.
Lu Changsheng usually cultivates in the cave.
However, since she came from the Tianyan Sect, she knew that such small grotto-heavens were secrets of each faction, so she didn't ask any more questions and nodded, saying, "I will follow the True Lord's arrangements."
With nothing else of importance happening in the Great Dream Immortal City, Lu Changsheng began moving, taking Honglian to Yangming Mountain to attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
"A-Gui, give these to Zhenhai, and then bring over the array masters and craftsmen from the seven sects of Zhenhai."
Lu Changsheng handed over some refining materials, Luo Fuzi's robe, and soft armor to the Turtle Immortal Ancestor, asking him to take them to the Sea-Suppressing Ancestor to refine spiritual treasures for him.
"Lingjing, you should go too."
Considering that building the Chengtiantai platform would take time.
Lu Changsheng handed the Dew-Collecting Plate to Lu Lingjing and released her to return to the depths of the Great Dream Marsh to collect heavenly dew.
"Yes, sir!" Lu Lingjing's face lit up with joy when she saw the dew-collecting plate, and she couldn't wait to go to the sea eye to collect dew to drink.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Changsheng gave instructions to Ling Zixiao, Xu Ruyin, and Lu Chensha.
Tell Xu Ruyin that after the divine silkworm is completely revived, help it complete its bloodline transformation and advance to the True Spirit realm.
As for Qian Zhuyan, Lu Changsheng had no intention of taking him to Yangming Mountain.
The Great Dream Immortal City still needs fourth-tier combat power to guard it.
Qian Zhuyan, who had no need for spiritual veins and was focused on studying puppets, was a perfect fit.
"If you need anything, please feel free to contact me anytime."
After giving instructions, Lu Changsheng took Honglian and Bai Zhaozhao to the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Seeing the Golden-Winged Roc, which had once been incredibly ferocious towards her in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range and would attack her on sight, now obediently serving as a spirit pet and mount, Bai Zhaozhao couldn't help but be surprised.
It's a mystery how Lu Changsheng managed to tame this ferocious demon king, a descendant of the Golden-Winged Roc, so obediently.
"True Lord, have the elders of the Bai Xi clan replied?"
Bai Zhaozhao asked Lu Changsheng, not forgetting to pay her respects to Bai Xi's bloodline.
"She doesn't have time in the short term."
Although Bai Zhaozhao has become a guest retainer of their family.
However, due to a misunderstanding regarding Bai Xi's bloodline, Lu Changsheng does not intend to tell Bai Zhaozhao the truth for the time being.
Otherwise, explaining the issue of his daughter Lu Baixi's bloodline would be very troublesome.
“Okay.” Bai Zhaozhao was very anxious before, wanting to meet the elders of the Bai Xi clan as soon as possible.
Now that she has decided to stay in Jiang Kingdom and stay by Yangming Zhenjun's side, she has plenty of time to wait.
With the Golden-Winged Roc as their mode of transport, Lu Changsheng and his group arrived at the Heavenly Sword Sect in just one day.
As you can see, this spiritual vein dojo, once the hegemon of the Jiang Kingdom, looks completely different from what it used to be.
Not only were many of the array artifacts of the mountain gate array dismantled, resulting in a significant reduction in power and a dimming of spiritual light, but the array's power was also greatly diminished.
The mountain gate stele, as well as the pavilions, towers, and spiritual plants on many mountain peaks, were also moved and taken away by powerful magic.
It's not that the Heavenly Sword Sect is too stingy.
Instead, they had discussed it with Lu Changsheng before the relocation.
Lu Changsheng plans to reorganize the earth's veins, set up a grand formation for the mountain gate, build the Chengtian Platform, and turn this place into his own base camp.
Therefore, instead of wasting our own time dismantling and demolishing the existing buildings and formations, it would be better to let the Heavenly Sword Sect move them directly.
"Wow!"
As the Golden-Winged Roc spread its wings and flew down from the sky, the cultivators of the Heavenly Sword Sect were all shaken, their magical power trembled, and they felt a suffocating sense of oppression.
"Meet the true king!"
"Greetings, True Lord Yangming, True Lord Jinpeng!"
They gazed up at the enormous roc, its body gleaming gold as if cast from pure gold, and bowed respectfully.
Today, the name of True Lord Yangming has already spread throughout the Northern Region.
Its signature spirit pet mount, the fourth-tier Golden-Winged Roc, is known to almost everyone.
In other countries or territories, many people might not recognize it immediately.
But in the Jiang, Yue, Liang and Jin regions, almost everyone who sees the golden roc will think of Yangming Zhenjun, the Golden Roc Zhenjun!
"Hmm." Lu Changsheng, Honglian, and Bai Zhaozhao landed on the back of the Golden-Winged Roc and nodded to the cultivators.
He then went to the main hall of the Heavenly Sword Sect's main peak, summoned his son Lu Lingxiao, and inquired about the situation there, asking if there were any problems.
“Father, the Heavenly Sword Sect has almost completely relocated. The next issue is rebuilding the mountain gate array and dividing and arranging the peaks,” Lu Lingxiao said.
Although they brought many array masters from Liang Kingdom.
But how could setting up a fourth-order grand formation be simple?
In addition to array masters, array artifacts also need to be crafted and linked together.
Moreover, the mountain gate formation is of paramount importance, and it must be approved by Lu Changsheng and have a rough blueprint before construction can begin.
Lu Changsheng nodded slightly, indicating that there was no need to rush such matters, and then inquired about the situation of the Holy Maiden Youyue and the True Lord Fenmo.
"True Monarch Youyue is currently leading the cultivators of Beast God Mountain in the Yuling Sect, while True Monarch Fenmo is in the Luoxia Sect."
Of the four major immortal sects in Jiang Kingdom, only Qingyun Sect has not yet started relocating. Luoxia Sect and Yuling Sect have moved to Liang Kingdom together with Tianjian Sect.
The spiritual lands of the Yuling Sect and the Luoxia Sect were naturally taken over by Lu Changsheng and handed over to the Beast God Mountain and the Asura Sect respectively.
However, Lu Changsheng planned to send the Burning Demon True Monarch and the Asura Sect to the Jin Kingdom after the situation stabilized.
First, the Jiang Kingdom cannot accommodate, nor does it need, so many Nascent Soul cultivators.
Secondly, the Jiang Kingdom has received too many demonic cultivators from the Liang Kingdom. Keeping these cultivators in the Jiang Kingdom will eventually cause some trouble and create hidden dangers. It would be better to send some of them to the Jin Kingdom.
Third, Lu Changsheng will need Ayouduo in many situations later on.
If Ayouduo frequently travels between Jiang and Jin, it will not only be troublesome, but may also lead to Jin lacking high-end combat power.
Although True Monarch Burning Death was the worst of the worst, he was still a Nascent Soul cultivator.
They can stay in Jin and keep the Heavenly Corpse Sect in check.
Moreover, it would be a waste not to use such a fourth-tier spiritual land as the Yinming Ghost Sect.
After learning about the situation, Lu Changsheng and Honglian came to investigate the spiritual vein.
"This place is suitable for Jiuye."
The fourth-order spiritual veins of the Heavenly Sword Sect are biased towards the Geng metal element.
These attributes are not a perfect match for the Crimson Lotus, but they are quite compatible with the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass. If it takes root here, it can absorb spiritual veins and obtain nutrients for growth.
"Red Lotus, what do you think? If it doesn't work out, I'll go with you to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range to find a superior spiritual land."
Lu Changsheng still takes Honglian's attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul stage very seriously.
"It's enough. It's just that my attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul stage will affect this spiritual vein. If my husband, Jiu Ye, and Miss Bai were to cultivate together, I'm afraid it wouldn't be enough."
Honglian spoke up, believing that the Heavenly Sword Sect's fourth-order spiritual veins could supply the daily cultivation of three Nascent Soul stage cultivators.
If she attempts to break through to the Nascent Soul stage and affects the Heavenly Sword Sect's earth veins, then for the next period of time, the sect can only supply a maximum of two and a half Nascent Soul cultivators.
Even with significant resources invested, it can take years, or even decades, to recover.
"Don't worry about this."
Lu Changsheng smiled faintly, as he had already made arrangements for this.
Dragon seekers can survey the spiritual veins of heaven and earth, extract the source of the spiritual veins, and use it to cultivate other spiritual veins.
Although his Dragon-Seeking Technique is only at the second level, he cannot intercept a fourth-level spiritual vein.
But given his current status, why should he need to do it himself?
Moreover, spiritual veins are nurtured by the great power of heaven and earth; destroying, intercepting, or damaging them will all diminish one's own fortune.
The fourth-order spiritual veins, in particular, gather the fortune of a region.
If too much damage is done, the spiritual veins and their fortune will inevitably backfire.
Even if Lu Changsheng could intercept it, he wouldn't do such a thing.
"After you break through, I will take the dragon seekers from Liang Kingdom, the Five Poisons Sect, and the Heavenly Corpse Sect to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range to dismantle several miniature fourth-order spiritual veins to cultivate this spiritual vein."
Lu Changsheng said with a smile.
Dismantling spiritual veins is a technique that only third-tier dragon seekers can master.
It means splitting a spiritual vein into multiple smaller spiritual veins while minimizing damage.
In this way, the loss of fortune is relatively small.
After the dismantling is complete, Lu Changsheng, the Nascent Soul True Monarch, can use his great magic power to move these small spiritual veins with fourth-order origins from the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range to the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Throughout the entire process, Lu Changsheng was merely a porter.
Even if it damages his luck, it won't affect him.
The only difficulty is to lead people to find spiritual veins in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, then break them down and relocate them.
But given his abilities, it's just a bit of trouble, not a major problem.
