Chapter 152: Gifts from Heaven and Changes
Chapter 152: Gifts from Heaven and Changes (Subscription Request)
Lu Chengfeng closed his eyes and vaguely heard Zhu Yuxian's murmur, "What do you want?"
He was stunned for a moment, but had no time to think. The sun and the red dragon in his spiritual sea of consciousness had already filled his entire mind.
Endless information and mysteries poured into his mind like a tide, almost overwhelming him to the point of losing consciousness.
The mystery of the fusion of essence, energy and spirit, the mystery of condensing the primordial spirit, the mystery of the law of fire, the mystery of the true fire of Samadhi...
Three days passed in a flash, and Lu Chengfeng finally broke free from that state and regained his consciousness.
"So that's how it is. The fundamental magical power of that red dragon turned out to be Samadhi True Fire. Qi Yuan obtained its essence and the incomplete magical power principles, so he was able to condense his primordial spirit in one fell swoop and achieve the realm of heaven and man."
“As for the transformation into a red dragon, it is not a magical power at all, but the erosion of the red dragon’s essence, which polluted the essence of life. When the red dragon returns in the future, it only needs a thought to make it impossible for it to live or die.”
"The red dragon's essence is a rare treasure, but it is also a huge trouble. You must not touch it."
Lu Chengfeng felt a little scared. He originally didn't want to let go of the red dragon's essence as he wanted to use it to improve his own strength. But now he thought that he was simply seeking his own death.
"The Red Dragon's spirit must not be touched, otherwise when the Red Dragon returns in the future, it will have no power to resist at all."
"Qi Yuan's gift includes two talismans. One is a Pure Yang True Fire Talisman condensed by the principle of fire, which is the sun. This is also the foundation of the Samadhi True Fire magical power."
"The other one is the secret of its transformation into a dragon's body. To put it bluntly, it is the secret of the red dragon's true body. It naturally condenses into a magic talisman. As long as I refine this magic talisman, I can also transform into a dragon. However, since I haven't refined the red dragon's essence, I can't transform it as I wish like Qi Yuan. Moreover, it consumes a lot of energy, which is more like some kind of magical skill."
He thought for a moment and thought, "Let's call it the Red Dragon Talisman! Right now, this talisman has not yet fully analyzed the mystery of the real dragon's body, so it can't be called a red dragon. Calling it a red dragon is more appropriate."
In addition to these two talismans, the most important gift is the mystery of the primordial spirit after Qi Yuan condensed it.
This is of vital importance to Lu Chengfeng.
The main reason why a half-step celestial being wants to refine a magic weapon is to assist warriors, cleanse their own spirit, and condense their primordial spirit.
The reason why one can achieve the status of a celestial being by creating one's own magical skill is also because this method can sharpen one's mind and will, refine one's spirit, and is beneficial to concentrating one's primordial spirit.
To achieve the status of a celestial being, one must rely on the Dharma talisman and the other on the primordial spirit.
"Now that I have received Qi Yuan's gift, I have a shortcut to becoming a celestial being. As long as I have enough resources, I can follow the steps and naturally condense my Yuan Shen."
"But this will take time..."
"Even if it's faster, it will take three years."
Lu Chengfeng frowned slightly. He was determined to achieve celestial being as soon as possible, destroy the Sunset Sect, annex Youzhou, and sweep across the north.
The Red Dragon's reincarnation left him with a thorn in his throat. He always had an inexplicable feeling that the other party would come knocking on his door one day.
Having reached his level of cultivation, this kind of premonition cannot be ignored under any circumstances.
"Perhaps it's time to lie low. As long as I can refine Qi Yuan's gift, I will have reached the pinnacle of this world and be qualified to be a chess player."
He sighed softly and suppressed his impatience.
No matter how anxious you are or how much you desire to gain strength, you still have to take it one step at a time.
After all, to condense the primordial spirit, one needs to hone one's own spirit, energy and energy, have sufficiently deep accumulation, and have a sufficiently strong mental will.
And these are what he still lacks now. It is not something that can be achieved overnight after absorbing the gift. Everything takes time.
Lu Chengfeng slowly closed his eyes and continued to digest the gift.
Seven days later, witnessed by many elders and disciples, Lu Chengfeng quietly became the new head of Yuncang.
There was no grand celebration, nor was there a banquet for fellow martial artists.
Just like that, he closed the door and quietly ascended to the position of the head of the sect.
But there is no doubt that the Lord of Youdu challenged the head of Yuncang to a duel, and in the end everyone was buried in Yuncang, and no one could escape. Such news instantly detonated the entire martial arts world.
Originally everyone believed that the Lord of Youdu would swallow up the north, sweep across the five states, and then lead 200,000 cavalry south to attack Zhongzhou.
But the final result was beyond everyone's expectations.
Thousands of years have passed, and it has gone through countless storms, but it still stands there.
Rumors spread in the world and became very rampant.
Some people say that the Lord of Youdu has died in Yuncang.
Some people also said that the Lord of Youdu escaped with serious injuries.
Some people also say that the Lord of Youdu is now trapped in Yuncang...
The numerous pieces of news and the numerous disturbances aroused heated discussions among countless people.
But there is no doubt that the defeat of Youdu once again confirmed the dominant position of the Yuncang Sword Sect.
In the vast northern land, with so many sects and forces, from now on, no one will be able to suppress the Yuncang Sword Sect.
The Yuncang Sword Sect will no longer be the overlord of Liangzhou, but the overlord of the entire north.
The most direct manifestation was that hundreds of large and small sects and gangs in the north sent people to Yuncang, on the one hand to find out the specific circumstances of the battle, and on the other hand to convey goodwill and send gifts.
Although Lu Chengfeng did not send invitations to any forces, the news that he became the head of Yuncang spread throughout the thirteen states in a very short time.
I may not send out invitations, but you cannot not come and give gifts.
If you really don't come, then you are being immature.
There is no need for the Yuncang Sword Sect to take action at all, there will naturally be countless people willing to serve.
In today's special circumstances where the situation changes suddenly and a new overlord rises, no one wants to offend Lu Chengfeng, the new northern dragon.
In the north, many people already call it the Northern Dragon King.
The Jiao is a hidden dragon!
A young man of only 21 years old took control of the dominant power in the entire North and became a chess player and helmsman who could drive changes in the world.
A lot of information about his past experiences, strengths, personality, background, etc., were quickly placed on the desks of various forces and became the object of study by countless people.
"This is a very scary young man. He should have mastered the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword. King Xiang's defeat this time is likely related to him."
"He is not a puppet like Qi Yuan. He holds great power and has achieved half-step heavenly man at a young age. He definitely has the hope of breaking through to the heavenly man realm."
"Investigate all the information about him. The more detailed the better. Keep an eye on his every move in the future. This man has become a force to be reckoned with and has the power to influence the world."
Countless eyes, openly and secretly, were focused on the Yuncang Sword Sect and on Lu Chengfeng.
But under such circumstances, Lu Chengfeng officially ordered that the entire Yuncang Sword Sect be closed to the public and not receive any outsiders.
All the disciples and elders who had been dismissed before were transferred to Yulong Mountain by a transfer order. Du Mengyan was in charge of the overall situation, assisted by the two elders Yun Mo and Li Jiuzhong.
The main task of the Yulong Mountain branch is to completely control Yuchuan County, dig deep and take root in this land.
This will obviously take a long time.
A month later, he sent people to bring Luo Suyi and Qiu Tong back to Yuncang, and they still stayed in Bixiao Peak.
Lu Chengfeng spent most of his time digesting the gifts. Apart from that, he spent most of his time forging his own magic weapon.
Now that he has become the head of Yuncang, the resources he can mobilize are a world apart from before.
In addition, he absorbed the gifts from more than one forging master, so naturally he began to plan to forge divine weapons.
To forge a magic weapon, the most important thing is to select the material, and it must be a magic material that contains the laws of heaven and earth.
These divine materials are often created by heaven and earth in extremely special places. They contain inherent laws and are extremely extraordinary.
However, what is even more demanding about forging a divine weapon is that the laws of heaven and earth contained in the materials must be compatible with the divine skills that one has practiced, otherwise one will not be able to refine one's own divine weapon.
At Lu Chengfeng's command, many magical materials containing the five elements were sent to him. After receiving the news, the Sunset Sect spent a huge amount of money and presented him with a piece of five-colored magical iron as a gift for his ascension to the position of head sect.
Lu Chengfeng knew very well that this was not just a gift, but also a compensation for the relationship between the two families. Because the divine materials often contain a certain law of heaven and earth, such as water, fire, wind, thunder, etc.
If it contains two kinds, it will be a mid-grade divine material. The quantity will decrease sharply and its preciousness will increase tenfold.
If it contains all three, then it is a top-grade divine material. This kind of material is rare even in a sect like the Yuncang Sword Sect, which is the overlord of a state. It is the accumulation of the sect for countless years and the foundation of the suppressed treasure house.
As for the top-grade divine materials containing the four elements, they are often hard to come by and once obtained, they will be kept secret.
The five-colored divine iron with complete five elements principles is called divine treasure, and some people call it immortal material. According to legend, using this thing as a embryo, it can be used to refine immortal tools.
Although the magic weapon, the Divine Light Scythe, refined by the founder of Baihong Peak also contains five-colored precious iron, the content is extremely rare, only the size of a grain of sand, but it has become the one and only magic weapon of the entire Yuncang Sword Sect.
The piece of five-colored precious iron sent by the Sunset Sect is as big as a baby's fist, which is enough to be used as the main material to refine a sword.
Lu Chengfeng accepted it without hesitation, and personally wrote a letter to the leader of the Sunset Sect to express his goodwill and willingness to reconcile the two families.
Of course, only God knows how true and false this goodwill is.
What Lu Chengfeng wanted to forge was naturally a sword.
As long as he has a sword that matches his own magical powers, his own lethality will be increased exponentially.
It was like Princess Xiang who had lost the Yin-Yang Blade. She was like a tiger whose teeth had been pulled out, and the threat she posed instantly became much smaller.
A handy divine weapon can bring about earth-shaking changes to a warrior.
Lu Chengfeng spent almost all his time and energy on digesting the gifts and forging magic weapons. In addition, he sent people to keep a close eye on various forces.
Especially Youdu, Zhongdu and Sunset Sect.
In Youdu, it is still unknown whether King Xiang is a celestial being.
The King of Heaven in Zhongdu is seriously injured and dying. This may be a good opportunity to obtain gifts. Lu Chengfeng naturally has to make arrangements in advance.
In addition, he had already regarded the Sunset Sect as his own, so he would naturally keep a close eye on the Sect's movements.
Lu Chengfeng stands alone in Yuncang, but his tentacles extend across the entire north.
The Yulong Mountain and Yuncang Pass routes pass through Qingzhou.
At Lu Chengfeng's suggestion, led by his true disciple Tan Yong, they began to secretly organize cavalry in Qingzhou, gather refugees, and build towns.
While refining the Three Burial Blades, Zhu Yuxian formed a civilian caravan and began to explore Yunzhou.
Lu Chengfeng began to intervene in the five northern states, namely Liangzhou, Youzhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou and Yunzhou. Like a spider, he was weaving his own web across the entire north.
The biggest problem in this process is the lack of manpower.
In order to cope with the increasing demand for manpower in the future, Lu Chengfeng had to devote a certain amount of time and energy to reorganize the 108 outer peaks.
He collected inheritances from all over, not limited to advanced martial arts, but special secret skills, such as: dual cultivation, piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, blowing, pulling, playing, singing, etc. Many craftsmen comprehended the principles of martial arts from those skills from all walks of life.
Lu Chengfeng established 108 kinds of inheritance, which are not profound or sophisticated, but if one can learn them, he can be considered outstanding among all kinds of people.
After learning these skills, it is impossible to become famous, but it is more than enough to settle down and start a family.
Lu Chengfeng arranged personnel to gather the young refugees from Qingzhou, and had them learn skills at the 108 Peaks. He also carried out various brainwashing and teachings, and used many means to restrict and guarantee their loyalty.
A group of people will be recruited every year, and only those who pass the assessment can stay. Others who fail the assessment can also make a living by relying on the inheritance they have learned.
Under Yun Cang's operation, these people gradually flowed into the entire Liangzhou and spread to Youzhou and Yanzhou.
All walks of life and all trades began to have the Yuncang Sword Sect's eyes and ears, and they took root in various places.
Many sects do not care about ordinary people, but Lu Chengfeng gradually spread his ears and eyes throughout the north through this method.
Although everything has just begun, there are a lot of complicated things to do and there are many flaws and shortcomings, but this is a big change for Yun Cang.
Those outer peak disciples no longer stay for long, and most of them will be sent to various places after completing their studies.
A small number of talented elites stayed behind, and as their skills became more sophisticated, they were often able to play a greater role.
For example, a famous courtesan, a master of folk art, a genius who combines chess and martial arts, it may be difficult for these people to practice martial arts to the eighteenth level or above, but they are good enough to become the top masters in their field.
If these people are placed in the right place, they can exert a remarkable power.
The Inner Five Peaks serve as the place for the Yuncang Sword Sect to train elites and masters, and only recruit geniuses and evildoers. Lu Chengfeng unreservedly accepts disciples who are suitable for practicing the Five Elements Return to Origin Sword Sutra into the sect of the headmaster, allowing them to practice this unique skill to perfection and then comprehend the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword.
In this way, Yulong Mountain became the base and outpost for Yuncang to train elite cavalry, and it expanded wildly with the entire Qingzhou as its base.
The 108 peaks of Yuncang cultivated spies and informants from all walks of life and began to take root in the entire north.
The Inner Five Peaks and the headmaster's lineage are the masters and core force that suppress the north.
All this was happening silently and imperceptibly, and before anyone knew it, the entire Yuncang Sword Sect began to undergo a complete transformation.
……
Time flies, and Youdu, which Lu Chengfeng has been closely watching, is unexpectedly peaceful.
Although many forces including the Sunset Sect have secretly tried many times, Youdu still has three half-step celestial beings and an army of 200,000, and is still a behemoth that cannot be easily shaken.
There was no internal strife in Youdu, and it stopped expanding outward. It was like a giant beast licking its wounds, silently waiting for its opportunity.
The injuries of Zhongzhou's King Zhentian were getting worse and worse, but he was still hanging on and didn't die, as if he would continue to suffer.
The Sunset Sect has become increasingly decadent, like an old man on the decline of his days. The masters have grown old, but the younger generation has not grown up and can only hide in the sect and become local tyrants in Yanzhou.
The situation in the north suddenly fell into calm in an extremely abrupt way. On the contrary, the south, which had been relatively peaceful due to the mutual restraints of the three kings, began to undergo earth-shaking changes.
Liu Wu, the son of King Han, made a stunning debut. At the age of twenty, he displayed celestial strength. He killed nineteen generals of King Wu and defeated 30,000 troops of King Wu. This battle shocked the world.
In just three months, Liu Wu conquered many cities and reached the capital of Wu.
The King of Wu personally went into battle and fought Liu Wu on Dongting Lake with his magic weapon, the Panlong Stick. He was eventually killed by Liu Wu with one shot, which shocked the world.
With the death of the King of Wu in battle, the remaining forces of Wu opened the city and surrendered. The Wu Kingdom, which had existed for nearly a hundred years, was destroyed and completely became history.
The power of the King of Han increased unprecedentedly, and he was swallowing up the entire south at an extremely terrifying speed.
Another vassal king in the south, that is, the Chu State, which was founded by the remaining meritorious nobles who supported the royal bloodline of the Great Chu after the fall of the Great Chu. It was defeated by Liu Wu and lost territory one after another.
The King of Chu moved the capital three times within one year to avoid a decisive battle with Liu Wu.
However, everyone has realized that the day of the demise of the Chu State is not far away, and the southern states will completely fall into the hands of the King of Han.
Liu Wu, who was only 20 years old, became the most terrifying existence in the whole world. He was extremely powerful and was invincible in battles across the country.
Even the King of Wu, who had been famous throughout the world for sixty years, could not withstand a single shot from him.
The King of Chu, the most powerful of the three southern princes, moved his capital three times and did not dare to engage in a head-on battle.
Lu Chengfeng, who had taken over the position of the headmaster of Yuncang and was gaining fame, was quickly overshadowed by Liu Wu.
This man was invincible and his reputation grew. Some people began to shout slogans such as "the world belongs to Han and everyone wants to fight."
The Chu State in the south only had seven cities left, and its defeat was not far away.
The King of Zhongzhou Town has only a few days left to live.
There is no openly any celestial being in the five northern states, and their power is far inferior to that of the entire south.
Everyone believed that as long as the South was determined, Zhongzhou and the North would be swept away within a few months and would have no power to resist.
The trend of world unification has become clear.
Under such circumstances, a young Taoist priest walked out from the ancestral land of the Zhongzhou Yufatian Sect.
