Chapter 436: Shangqing Palace Outside Biyou Mountain, Zhuqi Formation in the Blue Clouds
Eastern Shenzhou, Shangqing Taoist Palace
"Uncle Yi, is your junior brother still in seclusion?"
Qu Buhui looked at Yi Hanqing who was sitting alone in the yard and asked tentatively.
Yi Hanqing replied slowly: "What do you mean by my junior brother? He is your uncle and your savior. Don't be rude."
Although he knew that what Yi Hanqing said was true.
But Qu Buhui didn't feel much about it.
It can even be said that Qu Buhui was actually very dissatisfied with Lu Chen's sudden appearance.
After all, although 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 was a situation that had not occurred for more than ten years.
It can be seen how important Lu Chen, the junior brother, was in Yi Hanqing's heart.
This made Qu Buhui feel a little jealous.
Although she wanted Lu Chen to leave earlier.
But there was no suitable reason after all.
Just when Qu Buhui wanted to find out about Lu Chen's situation and find out the purpose of his coming to Shangqing Taoist Palace.
Yi Hanqing, who was 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 time, always feeling that something had happened to him, but he couldn't feel it clearly.
But thinking of 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.
After receiving this news, Yi Hanqing's expression was very complicated.
First, he was happy for Lu Chen.
After all, when Lu Chen came, he was already a cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage.
Now that he has broken through, it is naturally the God Transformation Stage.
A cultivator at the God Transformation Stage is a well-deserved strong man, not to mention in Dongshenzhou, even in the entire Zhongzhou.
Most people would say "Venerable" when they see him.
Who would have thought that when he was a sword cultivator at 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 Huashen stage.
The gap between the two sides is so big that it makes people sigh.
This is also the reason why Yi Hanqing is in a complicated mood.
Although he is full of confidence in himself and has a firm heart.
But facing Lu Chen's almost unprecedented cultivation talent, Yi Hanqing still cannot be sure whether he can catch up with him in the future.
It can only be said that the more Yi Hanqing knows about Lu Chen's past, the more he can know the horror of his junior brother.
Perhaps he saw the complexity of Yi Hanqing's heart.
Lu Chen smiled and said: "Senior brother, I see that you should be about to break through, right?"
Yi Hanqing was stunned, and then replied: "Junior brother has 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 this was said, before Lu Chen said anything, Qu Buhui next to him was surprised and said: "Uncle Yi, you mean, you are finally going to prepare for a breakthrough in the Nascent Soul?!"
As one of the people who know Yi Hanqing best in Shangqing Dao Palace.
Qu Buhui knew too well how difficult it was for Yi Hanqing to live these years.
On one hand, he had to help himself practice, and on the other hand, he had to suppress his powerful inner demon.
If it weren't for Yi Hanqing's outstanding talent for practice and his firm heart of Taoism.
If it were someone else, he would have fallen into the devil's way and lost himself completely.
"So many years have passed, and it's really time for this."
Yi Hanqing's tone was full of emotion.
It seemed that he didn't expect that he could overcome the problem that seemed almost unsolvable to him back then.
It can only be said that the immortal method of Gu Yue Zhenxian can really turn decay into magic.
If it weren't for this immortal method, he would either be trapped in the Jindan stage for his whole life.
Or he would be controlled by the inner demon one day.
But there are not so many ifs in this world.
The appearance of Lu Chen finally made him get what he wanted.
"Junior brother, since you have successfully broken through now, I will trouble you to help my senior brother protect the Tao in three days."
"Of course."
Three days later, a thunder cloud of heavenly tribulation appeared in the back mountain of Shangqing Taoist Palace.
All the disciples who were still in Shangqing Dao Palace soon learned that the master was going to make a breakthrough.
The master could fight against Yuanying stage when he was still in Jindan stage.
If he broke through to Yuanying stage, even if he could not fight against Huashen stage cultivators.
But he was invincible in the same realm, so there was no big problem.
Although the heavenly tribulation caused by Yi Hanqing was not as exaggerated as Lu Chen's Yuanying tribulation in the past.
It was also very terrifying.
But it was such an amazing heavenly tribulation that was rare in a thousand years.
It still did not cause too much trouble to Yi Hanqing.
Breakthrough smoothly.
With such a powerful Yuanying sword cultivator.
The status of Shangqing Dao Palace in Dongshenzhou immediately rose.
And for some reason, after the master Yi Hanqing entered the Yuanying stage.
Shangqing Dao Palace changed its previous low profile and began to rectify the entire Dongshenzhou cultivation world.
The first to bear the brunt of it was the large number of demon cultivators who appeared after the demise of Donghaimen.
If Shangqing Dao Palace wanted to start a war with these demonic cultivators before Yi Hanqing's breakthrough, it would most likely end in failure.
But after Yi Hanqing's successful breakthrough, the situation suddenly reversed.
The Nascent Soul stage is the top existence in Dong Shenzhou.
And Yi Hanqing is currently the top among these Nascent Soul cultivators.
In this way, with Yi Hanqing coming forward, it is equivalent to taking the lead for the sects in the entire East Shenzhou.
Slowly, all the righteous sects in the entire East Shenzhou united.
Under such circumstances, a war soon swept across the entire East Shenzhou.
Although the strength of these demon cultivators is good.
There is also the secret support of Shiqie Cave behind them.
But their strength is still not as good as the major sects that have been rooted in East Shenzhou for many years.
Therefore, except for causing some trouble to the sects in East Shenzhou at the beginning.
But the situation later was a retreat.
Faced with such a desperate situation, some demon sects in East Shenzhou began to seek help from Shiqie Cave.
But what made them feel desperate was that Shiqie Cave, which had been able to be contacted before, seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth at this time.
What they didn't know was that not long ago.
Shiqie Cave's base in the East China Sea had been uprooted.
Although this does not mean that Shiqie Cave will never be able to return to Qingyun Realm.
But it also delayed their progress.
It bought a lot of time for Qingyun Realm.
During this process, some things happened in Qingyun Sect.
One of them was that the Jinggong lineage of the Danyang Peak of Qingyun Sect was ready to set up its own sect, and left Qingyun Sect with the disciples of this lineage and went to Nanshenzhou.
Although outsiders did not know what happened in this,
But everyone found out the news.
That is, from then on, the Jinggong lineage had no relationship with Qingyun Sect.
Although only one lineage left Qingyun Sect.
But at this special time, Qingyun Sect, as the first sect of Qingyun Realm.
Its every move was highly concerned by the outside world.
However, because the Black Lotus Cult existed at the border between Nanshenzhou and Zhongzhou.
As a result, the outside world eventually lost the clues about the Jinggong lineage.
It was impossible to know their every move in Nanshenzhou.
In fact, what the outside world did not know was.
It was not only the Jinggong lineage that left Qingyun Sect.
The Wumiao King of Qingyun Main Peak, the Peak Master of Wanfu Peak and other disciples also left Qingyun Sect.
But because of the Jing Palace, the outside world was attracted by the Jing Palace.
They did not notice this change.
And because the Thirty-Three Heavens had not responded.
The war between Qingyun Realm and Nine Realms was temporarily stalemated.
Originally, Qingyun Realm was already a little overwhelmed by the three-front war.
But the sudden fall of Shihedong suddenly reduced the pressure.
However, Shihedong did not give up, and continued to look for opportunities to return to Qingyun Realm.
In order to prevent this, Qingyun Xiuxian Realm sent a lot of people to supervise the matter.
Once suspected of being a wicked person was found, they would immediately take action to suppress it.
But because the wicked are very good at hiding themselves, and there are still many wicked people hiding in the current Xiuxian Realm.
It is still very difficult for Qingyun Xiuxian Realm to completely eliminate Shihedong's small actions.
Whether it is Zhongzhou or the Nine Realms, no one noticed the changes in the four states outside Zhongzhou.
In the four states, four different sword towers were being built quietly.
These sword towers were not visible at first, but as long as the time was right, they would show their usefulness.
Real world, Jiuyao Tiandu
To the outside world, Lu Chen had been in seclusion in Jiuyao Tiandu for three years.
Three years is just a blink of an eye for a cultivator.
But for mortals, it is not a short time.
And because of this seclusion, Lu Chen missed the biennial Taoist Academy Competition.
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 suppressed the other four Taoist academies by himself.
Although it is not clear how Lu Chen has changed in the past few years.
But everyone assumes that Lu Chen will only become stronger than before.
After all, Lu Chen, a freshman, can be the best among his peers.
Not to mention him, a senior.
Jiuyao Tiandu, Muyao Star Region.
Hua Ling, who was watering flowers in her cave, suddenly sensed something and raised her head.
She saw Lu Chen coming to her cave at some point.
Although Lu Chen's current cultivation level had not changed from three years ago.
But Hua Ling felt a hint of danger from Lu Chen.
This was undoubtedly shocking for a half-step red dust.
"It seems that a lot of things have happened to you in the past three years."
"Yes, a lot of things have indeed happened, and I have gained a lot."
As he said this, Lu Chen walked into Hua Ling's cave.
"Hua Daoyou said before that Biyou Mountain had passed me a message when I was in seclusion. I wonder what the message was?"
Hearing this, Hua Ling seemed to suddenly remember it, so she answered: "It is indeed the case."
Hua Ling recalled carefully and finally remembered what the message from Biyou Mountain was at that time.
"The message from Biyou Mountain is very simple, that is, 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 prepare for a while?"
Lu Chen thought about it and felt that he still had some things to do.
So he decided to wait another year before going to Biyou Mountain.
And he heard that Lu Chen was not ready to leave immediately.
Hua Ling heaved a sigh of relief.
Seeing this, Lu Chen asked curiously: "It was Lu who went 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 Biyou Mountain.
"To be honest, my master is actually the owner of Biyou Mountain, Bai Yu Lu Song."
"Your master is Bai Yu Lu Song?"
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 did not expect that there was such a relationship between Hua Ling and Biyou Mountain.
"Since you are from Biyou Mountain, why do you seem reluctant to go there?"
"Logically speaking, Biyou Mountain shouldn't be too resistant to you."
Hua Ling said helplessly: "Every time I go there, Master really won't do anything to me, but the other juniors in the mountain are more troublesome."
"They always ask me some strange questions and ask me to help bring some strange things."
"This makes me feel like I'm buying things for someone every time I come back."
"If it were just these, it would be fine. The main thing is that Master seems to have no one to learn from in the mountains all year round, so every time I go there, Master will test me in the name of assessment."
"Although I am half a step into the mortal world, how can I compare with Master, a real immortal."
"How many people like to be beaten up by others for no reason?"
Hearing this, Lu Chen understood why Hua Ling was so entangled.
She felt like Lu Chen went to his teacher's house in his previous life.
It's not that you can't go, nor that the relationship is not good.
But in that kind of occasion, there will always be some inexplicable restraint.
"But because of you, I have to go this time."
"So, I have implicated you, Daoist Hua."
Hua Ling waved her hand indifferently and said, "It's okay, even if you don't go, I will go there in a while."
"It's just a coincidence now."
I don't know what he thought of, Lu Chen suddenly changed the topic.
"Daoist Hua, do you know the relationship between Biyou Mountain and Shangqing Taoist Palace?"
As soon as Lu Chen said this, Hua Ling's face changed instantly.
Then she changed her previous kindness and became extremely serious.
"Where did you know this information?"
After thinking for a moment, Lu Chen gave an ambiguous answer.
"I got this clue in the cave of an ancient swordsman."
"Ancient swordsman?"
Hua Ling was silent for a moment, then said, "Daoyou Lu, did you see a sentence in that cave?"
"What sentence?"
"That sentence is, outside of Biyou Mountain, in the Qingyun, in Shangqing Palace, there is a Zhuqi formation."
