Chapter 341: Ping An, why are you here?
Purple Cloud Gorge.
The entire canyon stretches for a hundred miles, flanked by vast, majestic, and continuous mountain ranges on both sides.
Due to the existence of the Purple Nether Secret Realm, there are almost no traces of demonic beasts along this stretch of the canyon.
Even if a few demonic beasts occasionally appear, they would be hunted down by passing cultivators or nearby family forces.
On this route, the real danger lies in other cultivators.
Because everyone knows that the Purple Nether Secret Realm opens once every thirty years.
Many people choose not to venture into the secret realm but instead become rogue cultivators, lying in wait here to rob and kill.
At this moment, Lu Changsheng was piloting a spirit boat, bringing Lu Quanzhen into the Purple Cloud Gorge.
He was wearing a black, luxurious robe, his figure tall and slender, standing with his hands behind his back on the spirit boat, steady as a mountain, his demeanor calm and collected, exuding a faint Foundation Establishment spiritual pressure.
Faced with such spiritual pressure, naturally, no rogue cultivators dared to come out and act recklessly.
After all, most rogue cultivators are only at the Qi Refining stage.
They only target scattered cultivators who seem easy to bully.
This made Lu Changsheng wonder if there might be Foundation Establishment cultivators deliberately disguising themselves to lure people in and enforce the law.
After all, the world of cultivation never lacks such bored people.
Moreover, rather than robbing poor scattered cultivators, it’s better to rob rogue cultivators.
Soon after, Lu Changsheng piloted the spirit boat through the canyon and arrived at the end.
Ahead was a vast expanse of yellow, earthen slope.
In the center of the slope was a huge purple altar.
Scattered around the altar were many cultivators, numbering several hundred, making it quite lively.
Ninety-nine percent of these cultivators were at the Qi Refining stage.
However, most of them had reached the late stage of Qi Refining.
Most Foundation Establishment cultivators, like Lu Changsheng, were sending their family disciples or juniors.
However, most of them had three or four, or even seven or eight, Qi Refining cultivators by their side.
It was rare to see someone like Lu Changsheng, sending only one person.
Seeing Lu Changsheng’s spirit boat slowly descend, several Qi Refining cultivators immediately showed respectful expressions, obediently retreating to make way.
To avoid offending Lu Changsheng, or being disliked by him.
After all, Foundation Establishment cultivators are capricious.
If they were in a bad mood and found them an eyesore, they would simply attack them, leaving them with no place to cry.
“This Purple Nether Secret Realm is really lively.”
Lu Changsheng put away the spirit boat, looked at the scene, and clicked his tongue.
Although he had been to Nine Heavens Immortal City and Azure Phoenix Immortal City.
He had never seen such a scene as the Purple Nether Secret Realm, where hundreds of cultivators gathered, all with a serious and wary posture.
At this time, he saw the people from Green Bamboo Mountain and Hundred Birds Lake in the crowd.
Green Bamboo Mountain was led by Lu Miaofeng, whom he knew.
There were a total of four people, besides Lu Miaofeng being at the ninth level of Qi Refining, the other three were only at the eighth and seventh levels of Qi Refining.
Lu Changsheng did not go forward to greet them.
He had come secretly this time, and both he and Lu Quanzhen had disguised themselves.
After all, concealing one’s identity makes things easier, and one’s true appearance can easily attract trouble.
Not only him, but many cultivators present had also disguised themselves.
“Quanzhen, if you are willing, you can go find Miaofeng and the others.”
Lu Changsheng transmitted his voice to his son Lu Quanzhen beside him.
He had previously learned about the Purple Nether Secret Realm from Green Bamboo Mountain.
Everyone who enters it will randomly appear in the secret realm.
But they can use communication talismans, Yin-Yang Resonance Talismans, and other tokens to meet up as soon as possible.
So at this moment, you can see many scattered cultivators and family disciples recognizing each other and forming groups.
After all, the Purple Nether Secret Realm is not only for seeking opportunities but also a trial secret realm for immortal sect disciples.
Immortal sect disciples may not be bloodthirsty people.
But who can say for sure in such matters, it is necessary to prepare for the worst.
“Yes.”
Lu Quanzhen, wearing a black robe and a crown, with a refined appearance, nodded in response.
The two rested in place, waiting for the four great immortal sects to come and open the secret realm.
As time passed, more and more Foundation Establishment cultivators could be seen bringing their disciples and juniors.
At this time, Lu Changsheng saw an imposing old man on a golden spirit boat, leading six Qi Refining cultivators down.
“Golden Dragon Ridge.”
Lu Changsheng narrowed his eyes when he saw the people coming.
Then he said to his son beside him: “Quanzhen, if you encounter people from Golden Dragon Ridge in the Purple Nether Secret Realm, kill them all together with Qingshan.”
Although the Golden Family Patriarch came to apologize and make peace.
It was completely to put eye drops on him!
Moreover, in the past year, they have been suppressing the White Tiger Mountain business industry both openly and secretly.
Faced with this situation, it is not good for him to do anything openly, but with such an opportunity, he will naturally not be polite.
Of course, the main reason is that he has confidence in his son’s strength.
Even without Lu Qingshan, Lu Changsheng is very relieved about Lu Quanzhen’s situation.
Second-order puppet, a complete set of top-grade magic weapons, Talisman Treasure Bronze Halberd, a stack of second-order talismans.
With this situation, how could a few Qi Refining cultivators be his opponent!?
Even Foundation Establishment cultivators would have a headache when they encountered Lu Quanzhen.
Lu Quanzhen was a little surprised by his father’s words.
But he just smiled and squinted his eyes, glanced at the people from Golden Dragon Ridge, and replied in a low voice: “Father, rest assured.”
Time passed little by little.
As more and more people came, Lu Changsheng realized that many Foundation Establishment cultivators from various forces came to buy resources and natural treasures.
After the scattered cultivators came out of the secret realm, they would trade.
Because the four great immortal sects only collect some rare resources.
Most of the remaining resource gains are not practical for the scattered cultivators, so they will directly trade here.
Or spend resources to ask the other party to **** them to the market, or even choose to join a certain force.
“I didn’t expect this Purple Nether Secret Realm to have so many tricks.”
Lu Changsheng sighed with emotion, and understood why many family forces came with their identities revealed.
Because the family’s reputation is good, even if the purchase price is a few percent cheaper, everyone is willing to believe it.
However, he is now disguising his identity, so it is not good to engage in purchasing.
“Hmm! ?”
Just then, Lu Changsheng seemed to sense something, and his eyes suddenly opened.
I saw a middle-aged man in the distance, tall and burly, covered in dust, like a Jianghu knight, found a place to sit down.
Lu Changsheng instantly sensed a familiar aura from the other party.
“Ping’an?”
Lu Changsheng swept his divine sense and instantly saw through the other party’s disguise.
“Isn’t Ping’an traveling abroad, why did he also run to the Purple Nether Secret Realm?”
A few surprises appeared in his eyes, and he immediately transmitted his voice to Lu Ping’an: “Lu Ping’an, come here.”
“Ah?”
Lu Ping’an was stunned when he heard the voice transmission, his expression at a loss, and he looked around.
He didn’t go home this time, just because he knew that if he was going to the Purple Nether Secret Realm, his father would most likely not agree.
So he chose to take matters into his own hands and come secretly alone.
As a result, he didn’t expect to hear his father’s voice as soon as he arrived at Purple Cloud Gorge.
He looked around and did not find his father Lu Changsheng’s figure.
But after a while, he saw a man in a black robe in his thirties, with a dignified face and a calm demeanor, and a young man in a black robe and a crown, gentle and refined, walking towards him.
“You are… Father?”
Lu Ping’an’s expression was a little uncertain.
No matter what the black-robed man in front of him looked like or what kind of aura he had, he couldn’t see his father’s usual shadow.
“Yes.”
Lu Changsheng’s appearance was dignified, and he nodded slightly.
His current disguise methods are naturally not as casual as they were in his early years.
Not only does he have the Fate Empty Dharma Robe to cover up and restrain his aura, but he also has a special disguise mask.
Unless a Golden Core True Monarch uses his divine sense to investigate, it is difficult to see his face.
Lu Quanzhen is also the same, covering up his appearance and aura.
“Ping’an, why did you come here?”
Lu Changsheng brought his son to the side and asked.
“I heard about the opening of the Purple Nether Secret Realm before, so I wanted to come and see, maybe I can gain something.”
Lu Ping’an scratched his head and said a little guiltily.
As if worried that his father would misunderstand, before he could finish speaking, he quickly explained: “Dad, I am not unaware of my own abilities. I had some opportunities before, and the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art has broken through the fifth level, so I dared to come.”
“Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art fifth level! ?”
Lu Quanzhen next to him narrowed his eyes and was surprised.
Lu Changsheng taught him the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art in his early years.
It’s just that his cultivation was not satisfactory, so he gave up this technique.
I didn’t expect that his eldest brother would actually break through the fifth level of this technique, which means that his physical body is comparable to a spiritual weapon?
“If you come, you come, I won’t blame you, will I?”
Lu Changsheng said unhappily when he saw his son’s honest appearance.
“Thank you, Father.”
Lu Ping’an immediately breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.
Usually, it’s okay to face Lu Changsheng.
But the other party’s current disguised appearance has a kind of majestic majesty of a superior, which really makes him nervous.
“Dad, why did you come here?”
Lu Ping’an continued to ask, looking at Lu Quanzhen, wanting to know who this was.
“I sent Quanzhen here.”
Lu Changsheng said.
“Big brother.”
Lu Quanzhen smiled and called out, his smile gentle and refined, like a scholar.
“You are Quanzhen?”
Lu Ping’an looked at Lu Quanzhen with some surprise.
Then he said: “Dad, isn’t this Purple Nether Secret Realm very dangerous? Quanzhen is coming here…”
He didn’t know Lu Quanzhen’s situation.
He only knew that this younger brother’s cultivation would not be too much higher than his own.
“Quanzhen also has some opportunities, and now he has the ninth level of Qi Refining.”
“When you enter the secret realm, you can contact each other through the identity jade token and take care of each other.”
Lu Changsheng said so.
“Ninth level of Qi Refining.”
Lu Ping’an’s expression was surprised, he didn’t expect that his younger brother would actually be at the ninth level of Qi Refining.
However, considering that I have my own opportunities, it’s perfectly normal for my younger brother and sister to have some fortuitous encounters.
Immediately, he responded in a deep voice: “Father, please rest assured!”
“Did you make any preparations for coming to the Secret Realm?”
Lu Changsheng asked.
The newest novels are first published on 69shu!
“Uh, I have inquired about the situation of the Violet Abyss Secret Realm and learned about the information here,” Lu Ping’an said somewhat awkwardly.
“Alas.”
Lu Changsheng shook his head helplessly.
Immediately, he took the two to an uninhabited place and took out a stack of talismans and two bottles and jars from his storage ring and handed them to his son.
In his early years, he would also carry a pile of magical artifacts and natural treasures with him.
But now that he has a family, the magical artifacts and natural treasures he had previously obtained are all placed in the family’s Treasure Pavilion for the family to handle.
So he only has elixirs and talismans in his hand, and there are no idle magical artifacts.
Otherwise, he would have equipped his son with a set of magical artifacts from head to toe.
“Thank you, Father.”
Lu Ping’an felt a warmth in his heart and thanked him.
“Big brother, do you need any magical artifacts? See if there’s anything you can use?”
At this time, Lu Quanzhen took out several top-quality magical artifacts and asked.
These magical artifacts were all prepared by Lu Changsheng for him.
Attack, defense, escape, and assistance are all available.
“Uh, no, no, I have magical artifacts,” Lu Ping’an quickly waved his hand, not wanting to take advantage of his younger brother’s magical artifacts.
“Big brother, I have a magic robe, and this spiritual armor is useless. Take it.”
Lu Quanzhen knew that his elder brother cultivated the body, so he handed a spiritual armor to Lu Ping’an.
“Since Quanzhen is kind, you should accept it. Be more careful when entering the Secret Realm this time,” Lu Changsheng said with great relief, seeing such harmonious brothers.
Then he told Lu Ping’an some things to pay attention to in the Violet Abyss Secret Realm.
Although the other party said that he had learned about the situation and information of the Violet Abyss Secret Realm.
But he knew without thinking that most of this was nonsense compiled by rogue cultivators, half true and half false, and it was better not to believe it.
After Lu Changsheng finished speaking, he continued to exhort: “By the way, if you see rare spiritual herbs, such as Heavenly Spirit Fruits, uproot them directly and put them in Quanzhen’s spiritual plant bag at that time.”
This time, his son came to the Violet Abyss Secret Realm, and he naturally thought of the Heavenly Spirit Fruits produced inside.
Although the Heavenly Spirit Fruit is only a second-order spiritual fruit, it basically cannot survive outside the Violet Abyss Secret Realm.
But for this situation, Lu Changsheng thought of his Little Green Bottle.
He believed that he could try to cultivate Heavenly Spirit Fruits with the Myriad Spirit Bottle.
If he could cultivate the fruit, then his family would not have to worry about the Foundation Establishment Pill in the future.
“Okay, Father.”
Lu Ping’an nodded.
His main purpose before was the Heavenly Spirit Fruit.
Now he immediately kept these words deeply in his heart.
If you encounter any rare spiritual flowers and herbs, uproot them all!
“By the way, what’s going on with you? You’ve already broken through the fifth level of the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique?”
At this time, Lu Changsheng became concerned about his son’s second-order body refinement.
He was stunned for a long time when he learned that Lu Ping’an’s body refinement had broken through.
“Uh…”
Lu Ping’an scratched his head and told about his situation.
He said that he had been ambushed before, and then by chance, an Ironback Centipede and a Mang Gu Toad entered his body.
At that time, he was in a daze and was about to pass out.
But the previous light appeared, and the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique automatically operated, refining the magic weapon and the two poisonous creatures in his body, so he broke through the fifth level.
As for Su Jiu’er’s matter, because he had promised the other party before and made a Heart Demon Oath, he didn’t mention it too much.
“Pay more attention in the future.”
Lu Changsheng patted his son on the shoulder and said in a deep voice.
Although the process sounded simple.
But he could hear the danger in it.
Because he knew that the Hope Gu would only have an effect when encountering a desperate situation.
This showed that Lu Ping’an was actually on the verge of death at that time.
“Father, I know.”
Lu Ping’an nodded repeatedly. He himself was also afraid afterward.
After explaining the matter, the father and son returned to the vicinity of the altar.
“Hmm, the aura of a Pseudo-Core True Person…”
Just as he sat down, Lu Changsheng sensed a strong aura coming from the south.
A moment later, a white jade building ship with carved beams and painted rafters, exquisite and luxurious, sailed in from the sky.
At the front of the deck stood a beautiful woman with long flowing hair, a charming face, and a graceful demeanor.
She was wearing a pink tulle palace dress, allowing people to clearly see her graceful figure.
Especially a pair of snow-white beautiful legs, lightly covered by the thin gauze skirt, allowed people to clearly see the roundness, but also added a bit of hazy temptation.
“It’s the Illusion Sound Sect!”
“It seems to be the Charming Sound True Person of the Illusion Sound Sect.”
Immediately, someone shouted loudly at the gorgeous building ship, constantly looking at it.
“The Pseudo-Core True Person of the Illusion Sound Sect?”
Lu Changsheng glanced at it a few times and didn’t look at it much.
Although this Pseudo-Core True Person was full of temptation from top to bottom, making many people stare and want to look but dare not look.
But in Lu Changsheng’s opinion, it was just average.
The reason is very simple, the dignified Pseudo-Core True Person actually has an aura of dust.
This behavior surprised Lu Quanzhen next to him.
After all, his father was famous for being fond of women.
And the Illusion Sound Sect, as one of the top forces in Jiang State, is famous for its female cultivators, music, singing, dancing, charm techniques, and beauty.
It was rare for his father to seem not very interested in the Illusion Sound Sect.
However, seeing the aura of dust on the few people on the building ship, he also showed disdain.
The Illusion Sound Sect’s ship building did not descend, but stood quietly in the air, waiting for the Secret Realm to open.
This kind of behavior is extremely disrespectful to the cultivators below, equivalent to stepping on other people’s heads!
But the cultivators in the field did not dare to say anything about this situation.
After all, the Illusion Sound Sect is a Core Formation-level force, led by a Pseudo-Core True Person.
Following the arrival of the Illusion Sound Sect, not long after, Danxia Mountain, another sect among the Two Sects, Three Cities, and Three Great Families, arrived.
This is a sect mainly focused on alchemy.
The well-known Pill Cauldron Pavilion is an industry under the name of Danxia Mountain.
“Rumble rumble…”
Suddenly, distant clouds rolled, thunder rumbled, and a huge movement sounded.
Nine Wind Thunder Colts were seen pulling a huge Divine Boat and breaking through the air.
These nine Wind Thunder Colts are all second-order demon beasts, soaring through the sky, driving the clouds and fog, and the wind and thunder are pervasive, with amazing power.
On the Divine Boat, there is also a banner with a dragon-flying and phoenix-dancing ‘Xu’ character written on it.
“The Beast Taming Xu Family!”
“What a big show, actually nine second-order demon beasts pulling the cart!”
“Which ancestor of the Xu family is this in person?”
Many cultivators saw this and said in a low voice, their eyes full of fear and awe.
After all, the Beast Taming Xu Family is one of the three major families in Jiang State, with deep foundations and a far-reaching reputation.
“The Beast Taming Xu Family…”
Lu Changsheng’s eyes narrowed when he saw this formation.
He remembered that Xu Ruyin had said that the Beast Taming Xu Family had noticed him.
However, he looked at the leader on the Divine Boat, who didn’t seem to be the Third Ancestor of the Xu family that Xu Ruyin said.
These Core Formation-level forces all lie in the air, talking across the air, each one is more ostentatious than the other, making the cultivators in the field show awe, and their eyes reveal envy and yearning.
After all, most people work hard to cultivate immortality, in addition to asking about longevity, they hope to be like this, from then on high above.
“No wonder there are Core Formation True Persons sitting in town, only then can they be considered top forces…”
At this moment, Lu Changsheng truly understood why families and forces with Core Formation True Persons sitting in town belong to top forces.
Because without Core Formation True Persons sitting in town, this family force simply cannot accumulate any foundation.
Just like White Tiger Mountain.
Even if it is nominally inherited for thousands of years, the foundation is really limited.
Once encountering some risks and crises, it will be destroyed at any time.
Like the Illusion Sound Sect, Danxia Mountain, and the Beast Taming Xu Family, these forces.
Even if they are worse, they can maintain multiple Pseudo-Core True Persons sitting in town to stabilize the situation and wait for the birth of new Core Formation True Persons.
The Secret Realm is about to open, and the Qingyun Sect, Falling Xia Sect, and Imperial Spirit Sect have arrived at about the same time.
These three sects are all led by Core Formation True Persons.
Except for the Imperial Spirit Sect riding a quasi-third-order Golden Eagle spirit beast, the power is amazing.
The Qingyun Sect and the Falling Xia Sect ride giant boats and treasure buildings respectively, which seem simple and unpretentious.
However, even if these two immortal sects are generally ostentatious, everyone in the field dares not underestimate them.
Seeing that the time for the Secret Realm to open is approaching, Jiang State’s Nascent Soul-level overlord ‘Heavenly Sword Sect’ arrived late.
The sect’s flying magic weapon is very simple, a giant flying sword, carrying a huge spiritual pressure, breaking through the air.
There are thirty or so Qi Refining disciples standing on the flying sword, all wearing white sword costumes, carrying magic swords on their backs, with cold expressions, showing a sharp aura.
The leader is a cold young man about fifteen or sixteen years old, with ordinary appearance, wearing a simple white robe.
If it weren’t for the huge spiritual pressure emanating from his body and the infinite sharp aura, it would be difficult to see that this is a Core Formation True Person!
“Heavenly Sword Sect! Jade Sword True Person!”
All the cultivators in Ziyun Gorge looked at the people from the Heavenly Sword Sect, all with expressions of awe.
The several Core Formation-level forces that arrived early went forward to pay their respects.
“Hmm!?”
Lu Ping’an looked at the people from the Heavenly Sword Sect, and his expression suddenly froze when he saw a beautiful figure on the flying sword.
