Chapter 258: True Man Qingluan, the devil of the twelve heavens!

Azure Luan Immortal City.

Grand and majestic, the city walls resembled a coiled Azure Dragon, upon which numerous cultivators stood ready for battle.

Outside the city walls, one could see layers upon layers of black ‘waves’ relentlessly crashing against Azure Luan Immortal City.

This was a tide of beasts composed of countless demons.

These demons flew in the sky and ran on the ground, densely packed, surging out from the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, charging towards the Immortal City as if fearless of death.

Within the dark tide, one could occasionally see cultivators fleeing in panic, only to be engulfed within.

These were cultivators who had lingered outside, or those who had just returned from hunting demons in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.

“Boom boom boom—”

Above the Azure Luan Immortal City walls, cultivators stood shoulder to shoulder, continuously unleashing spells to attack the demons outside.

And in the sky above the grand formation, a divine and majestic Azure Luan phantom emerged.

“Boom boom boom—”

The Azure Luan spat out lightning and flames, easily sweeping across the beast hordes, turning countless Tier 1 demons into ashes, and many Tier 2 demons into charred corpses.

“Roar!”

Just then, a heaven-shaking roar resounded, like a hurricane, stirring up powerful sound waves.

Under this roar, all the demons seemed to be encouraged, while the human cultivators groaned in unison, their heads spinning, their blood churning, and some even fell to the ground.

“Not good, it’s a Tier 3 Demon King!”

On the city wall, a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a heroic face, wearing black armor, and a tall and sturdy physique, grunted.

He looked at an old man who had fallen to the ground beside him, helped him up, and said in a deep voice, “Old Luo, are you alright?”

“Cough cough… I’m fine.”

“The Tier 3 Demon King is simply terrifying. Even from this far away, and with the Immortal City Formation, a single roar made the spiritual power within me uncontrollable.”

“You’re still amazing, Old Li, to not be affected at all.”

The old man called Old Luo, his face slightly pale, with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, said.

However, as soon as he spoke, he saw a large mountain rushing towards the Immortal City from another direction.

It turned out to be a golden giant ape carrying a large mountain.

“Boom!”

The golden giant ape soared into the sky, its aura terrifying. The mountain on its head blazed with raging fire, like a fiery meteor, a golden crow falling, slamming fiercely towards the Immortal City.

“Rumble rumble—”

The mountain stones bombarded the city wall formation of Azure Luan Immortal City, causing a huge sound and commotion, shaking the entire formation.

“Puff!”

Under this shaking impact, Li Feiyu’s face also turned pale, and he staggered, unable to stand firmly.

The old man beside him spat out a mouthful of blood.

Not only them, but all the Qi Refinement cultivators on the entire city wall were in a disheveled state, only the Foundation Establishment cultivators could barely stabilize the situation.

“This is another Tier 3 Demon King! How can this beast tide be so terrifying, that two Demon Kings have appeared!”

The old man’s face was pale as he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said.

“No, it’s three!”

Li Feiyu looked at the sky and said with a grim expression.

The old man followed Li Feiyu’s gaze and immediately saw a huge purple thunderbird in the clouds.

“Three Demon Kings, is Azure Luan Immortal City going to fall!”

Despair appeared in the old man’s eyes.

“Chirp!”

Just then, a clanging, jade-like cry resounded in Azure Luan Immortal City.

From the center of Azure Luan Immortal City, on Azure Luan Peak, a divine and incomparable azure bird soared into the sky.

Its wings stretched out, its feathers were gorgeous, shimmering with light, like a proud peacock, and like a noble phoenix, its whole body burning with azure flames.

“Tier 3 Azure Luan, it’s Azure Luan True Person!”

“Greetings, City Lord!”

“This is the number one rogue cultivator of our Jiang Kingdom, Azure Luan True Person!”

“I’ve been in Azure Luan Immortal City for twenty years, and this is the first time I’ve seen the City Lord!”

“Azure Luan True Person hasn’t taken action for nearly a hundred years, I wonder if she can repel these three Demon Kings!”

“Hard to say, that golden giant ape is a Heavenly Bloodline demon, the Vajra Ape King, and the purple thunderbird in the sky is also a Heavenly demon, the Thundercloud Finch, in this situation…”

“Azure Luan True Person’s Azure Luan is a Tier 3 Demon King, and there are also five hundred Azure Luan Dao soldiers, she can be called the number one person below the Nascent Soul stage, she will definitely be able to repel the three great Demon Kings!”

“Rumor has it that Azure Luan True Person hasn’t shown her face in these years because she suffered serious injuries back then, and has been recuperating all these years…”

In Azure Luan Immortal City, everyone who saw this scene was excited, discussing, and their eyes were focused on the azure Luan bird in the sky.

On the azure Luan bird stood a tall woman with graceful curves, wearing azure-gold armor, her whole body glowing.

Her face was extremely beautiful, looking about thirty years old, her eyebrows like sharp swords, her eyes like the sun, moon and stars, her delicate nose, as tall as distant mountains, and her red lips like a crescent moon longbow.

The entire face was incomparably sharp, appearing angular, giving people an unspeakable sharpness, majesty, and domineering aura at first glance, like a female war god high above, causing people to involuntarily submit and kneel at her feet.

However, the coldness, majesty, and heroism between her brows, coupled with the tall and graceful, straight as a spear, proud figure covered in azure-gold armor, gave people a different kind of beauty.

Especially her pair of phoenix eyes, as bright as the sun, moon, and stars, their shape round and long, the corners of her eyes upturned like water droplets, captivating the soul with coldness.

Looking at this Azure Luan True Person, countless people’s hearts beat faster, nervous, excited, and worshipful.

Because they saw a legendary figure!

Azure Luan True Person, born as a rogue cultivator, with no background, formed a True Core, and in the early Core Formation stage, she fought head-on with the late Core Formation stage, becoming the number one rogue cultivator in Jiang Kingdom, and established Azure Luan Immortal City, this holy land for rogue cultivators!

Such a figure is completely a legendary figure for many cultivators!

“Kill!”

Azure Luan True Person’s figure was tall and slender, an azure-gold long halberd appeared in her hand, like a female war god, she rushed out of the grand formation and killed towards the Vajra Ape King.

Her whole body glowed, sacred and brilliant, even her hair was dyed with a light golden color under the armor.

“Boom!”

The azure-gold halberd slashed out horizontally, bursting with endless light, almost tearing this world apart.

“Chirp!”

The Tier 3 Azure Luan under Azure Luan True Person also cried out, its wings stretched out, the wind howled, and a hurricane suddenly rose, accompanied by a burst of azure flames, killing towards the Vajra Ape.

“Roar—”

Faced with this offensive, the Vajra Ape King roared to the sky, its fur golden, like Vajra glazed glass, giving people the charm of immortality, its fists like mountains, blasting towards Azure Luan True Person.

The Tier 3 Demon Kings Thundercloud Finch and Ironback Kui Bear in the distance also attacked.

At the same time, in Azure Luan Immortal City, azure Luan birds arranged in neat rows soared into the sky, covering the sky and earth, hovering over the Immortal City, forming a mysterious formation, its power magnificent, emitting a strong and terrifying spiritual pressure, giving people an unspeakable oppression.

“Everyone, please remain calm, our Azure Luan Immortal City has the absolute ability to protect everyone’s safety.”

“Next, please cooperate with our actions and contribute to the city defense. Afterwards, cultivators in the early Qi Refinement stage can receive one merit point per day, the middle stage can receive three merit points, and the late stage receives ten merit points.”

At this time, the person in charge of Azure Luan Immortal City spoke, his voice spreading throughout the entire Immortal City, asking everyone to take action to defend and contribute.

Azure Lake Mountain, Azure Cloud Peak.

A simple and empty alchemy room.

Lu Changsheng sat cross-legged on a futon, looking at the pill furnace above the crimson furnace fire in front of him.

Smelling the bursts of fragrance wafting from the pill furnace, Lu Changsheng immediately cast spells towards the pill furnace, then waved his hand.

The furnace lid suddenly rose, hot waves surged, and a burst of light rushed out of the pill furnace.

Lu Changsheng immediately held a jade bottle, collecting the light within.

“Not bad, eighteen pills in one batch.”

He looked at the pills in the jade bottle, a satisfied expression on his face.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng arrived at his own fish farm, made a hand seal, and seven Blackwater Dragon Fish and five Blackwater Dragon Snakes floated to the surface.

“Go!”

Lu Changsheng fed the ‘Spirit Nourishing Pills’ from the porcelain bottle to them.

Then, with both hands forming seals, he alternately cast the ‘Spirit Light Technique’ and the ‘Troop Deployment Technique’ on the twelve Dao Soldiers, nurturing the spirituality and draconic nature within them, and increasing their growth rate.

After completing this series of actions, Lu Changsheng sighed, “Alas, no wonder so few forces cultivate Dao Soldiers.”

“This thing not only costs money but also takes time. I only have twelve and already find it troublesome. How do those forces with hundreds of Dao Soldiers raise them?”

Lu Changsheng looked at the Dao Soldiers in the lake and sighed.

He planned to have Bai Ling cultivate the Blackwater Flood Dragon Dao Soldiers after she broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Once she condensed the Dragon King Dao Foundation by cultivating the Black Dragon Scripture, it would have a bonus effect on cultivating aquatic creatures and Blackwater Flood Dragon Dao Soldiers.

After feeding his own Dao Soldiers, Lu Changsheng briefly inspected the fish farm and then returned to the Lu family mansion to spend time with his wives and concubines and visit the son Xia Zhiyue bore.

Although this child had the ‘Spirit Nurturing Body’ effect from Xia Zhiyue, he only had a fifth-grade spiritual root.

The latest chapters can be found on 69shu ba!

Lu Changsheng didn’t care too much about this.

After his spiritual root advanced to the second grade, his pursuit of spiritual roots became much more indifferent.

After all, whether it was a fifth-grade or a fourth-grade spiritual root, they were almost the same, not as good as his own second-grade spiritual root.

After having lunch with his wives and concubines, Lu Changsheng returned to the Longevity Palace to heal Ling Zixiao with the Nine Treasures Wishful Bone.

Just then, a system notification sounded in Lu Changsheng’s mind.

[Congratulations to the host for having thirty descendants break through to the Martial Dao Innate stage, obtaining the bloodline effect: 5% increase in the probability of procreating descendants, and one chance to draw a lottery!]

“Hmm, thirty, huh?”

Lu Changsheng showed a smile upon hearing the system notification.

After healing Ling Zixiao, the two spent some time together, and Lu Changsheng went to the secluded cave.

[Bloodline effect: +25% probability of descendants having spiritual roots, +20% procreation of descendants]

“Now that I have this kind of bloodline effect, it would be a pity not to have more children.”

Lu Changsheng thought to himself as he looked at the bloodline effect section in his system interface.

Thinking that he had only had eight children in the past three years, he felt he had been too lazy.

However, the family was still in a semi-secluded state, Ling Zixiao was seriously injured and had not recovered, and Xiao Xiyue was stationed at Green Lake Mountain, so it was not good for him to go out and hunt for beauty.

Although there was the option of White Jade Tower, it was not a good time to go there yet.

“However, there are not many suitable maids in the family now, so it’s time to add a few.”

Lu Changsheng planned to go to White Jade Tower to take a look after the family stabilized and Ling Zixiao had mostly recovered.

“System, draw a lottery!”

After thinking wildly for a moment, Lu Changsheng silently said in his heart.

Suddenly, the system turntable appeared, and golden light swirled.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the cultivation technique ‘Twelve Heavens Demonic God Art’!]

[The reward has been distributed to the system space, the host can check it at any time]

A crystalline jade book pattern appeared, accompanied by the system notification.

“Another cultivation technique? And a demonic cultivation technique at that?”

Lu Changsheng frowned when he saw the reward.

Now he really didn’t want to draw cultivation techniques from the lottery wheel.

Because with so many cultivation techniques already, continuing to draw them was of little practical use.

Last time the lottery was a cultivation technique, and this time it was still a cultivation technique.

And judging by the name, it was a demonic cultivation technique.

The Jiang Kingdom he was in was a righteous force that severely cracked down on the demonic path.

Under such circumstances, even if he was given a superior demonic cultivation technique, he would not be able to cultivate it.

Lu Changsheng looked at the cultivation technique in the system space.

[Cultivation Technique: Twelve Heavens Demonic God Art]

[Grade: Orthodox]

[Description: Contemplate the Twelve Heavens Demonic Gods, gather demonic god thoughts, temper the physical body, mana, and spirit, and refine the Twelve Heavens Demonic Gods!]

“Contemplate the Twelve Heavens Demonic Gods, temper the physical body, mana, and spirit?”

Lu Changsheng raised his eyebrows as he looked at the description of the technique.

Currently, in terms of his physical body, he had the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique.

In terms of mana, he had the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture.

But in terms of spirit and divine sense, he only had the ‘Purple Palace Spirit Nurturing Art’ that Xiao Xiyue had passed on to him.

Because this cultivation technique was ordinary, Lu Changsheng hadn’t cultivated it much.

He had always wanted a more powerful spiritual technique that could take shortcuts like the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique.

“I wonder if this Twelve Heavens Demonic God Art contains such advanced spiritual methods.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the cultivation technique in the system space, his mind stirred slightly, and he used it.

To see if this cultivation technique could give him some surprises.

The next moment, the cultivation method and related content and essentials of the ‘Twelve Heavens Demonic God Art’ flooded into his mind like a sudden enlightenment.

“Twelve Heavens Demonic God Art, three parts Qi refining, three parts body refining, and four parts spirit refining.”

“Once cultivated, twelve demonic gods are refined within the body. The strength of each demonic god can be at the same cultivation realm as oneself, and the twelve demonic gods can form the Twelve Heavens Demonic Fiend Formation.”

“Hiss, this cultivation technique is a bit awesome.”

Lu Changsheng opened his eyes, digesting the cultivation technique in his mind.

He couldn’t help but marvel at the strength and domineering nature of this technique.

He felt that this cultivation technique was even more powerful than the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture he cultivated.

Not only did it cultivate essence, Qi, and spirit simultaneously.

And it contained all kinds of powerful techniques and divine abilities.

For example, contemplating the thoughts of the gods and demons of heaven and earth, and refining the twelve demonic gods. As long as the twelve demonic gods were slightly successful, it could be said that they were invincible at the same level.

If the twelve demonic gods were cultivated to perfection, it would be no problem to kill enemies across realms.

There was also the natal magic treasure, the Twelve Heavens Demonic Fiend Banner.

Once the seventy-two demonic fiend banners came out, they were not weaker than the Seven Luminaries Star Sword Formation of the third level of his Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture.

In addition to these main methods, there were also ‘Twelve Heavens Demonic Flame’, ‘Twelve Heavens Divine Fiend’, ‘Twelve Heavens Demonic God Dismemberment Technique’, ‘Twelve Heavens Demonic God Burning Blood Escape Technique’.

“Speaking of which, do demonic and evil cultivation techniques come with more supporting techniques and divine abilities?”

Lu Changsheng thought to himself as he looked at the ‘Twelve Heavens Demonic God Art’.

Of the many cultivation techniques he had drawn in the lottery.

The one with the most included techniques was the ‘Yin Yang Harmony Art’.

The second was this ‘Twelve Heavens Demonic God Art’.

Although each level of his Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture had special effects and supporting techniques, they were relatively few.

“Alas, but being powerful is useless.”

“I can’t give up the Seven Luminaries and switch to this demonic technique.”

“I can only wait until I form the Core or Nascent Soul before seeing if anyone in the family has demonic talent, and then pass this cultivation technique on.”

“Currently, the only useful parts of this technique for me are the ‘Demonic God Contemplation Method’, a spiritual cultivation technique, and the ‘Twelve Heavens Demonic God Dismemberment Technique’ and the ‘Twelve Heavens Demonic God Burning Blood Escape Technique’, two methods that can be used to explode with power and escape when encountering danger.”

Lu Changsheng shook his head, sighed slightly, and was a little disappointed.

He felt that this cultivation technique could only be used to gather dust.
