Chapter 604: Black Desert Fairy City, Wolf King’s Meeting, Very Ominous Omens!

Black Desert Immortal City.

This Immortal City was built in the Endless Desert west of Yue Country, a place with extremely harsh living conditions and barren resources.

However, due to its geographical location and the barbaric rules established by the Cultivators who built this Immortal City in its early years, over time, it gradually became a gathering place for Loose Cultivators, Demonic Cultivators, Robber Cultivators, and Evil Cultivators.

Wanted Cultivators who had committed crimes in various countries all liked to flee to Black Desert Immortal City.

Although Black Desert Immortal City was barbaric and chaotic, amidst its mixed population, a prosperous black market gradually formed!

Whether it was intelligence information, assassination contracts, Heaven And Earth Treasures, Magic Treasures, Medicinal Pills, Cultivation Techniques, Legacies, or male and female Cauldrons, you could obtain them here.

In most Immortal Cultivation countries, Cultivation Techniques, Spells, and various craft Legacies were considered secret knowledge!

But here, you could even find the Legacy Cultivation Techniques of some Nascent Soul Sects.

Even the extremely rare Ningjing Pill could be found circulating in Black Desert Immortal City.

In short, Black Desert Immortal City was a place full of chaos, ambition, and Opportunity.

Even Righteous Path Cultivators often came to Black Desert Immortal City to seek Opportunity and chances.

These days, the entire Black Desert Immortal City was discussing one particular matter.

“This Lu Wu is truly extraordinary; a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator, yet he possesses Tier 3 Body Refining. It’s simply astonishing!”

“It’s a pity this person didn’t know how to conceal his strength and endure. Now that such an Opportunity has been exposed, he’s probably going to be hunted by countless people.”

“This person was pursued by the Wolf King for ten days and ten nights, and even injured the Wolf King’s Scarlet Flame Sand Wolf. It won’t be easy to kill him!”

“I heard the Wolf King has already gone to invite the Divine Calculator to divine his situation and whereabouts, determined to kill him.”

“The Wolf King Society has become increasingly overbearing these past few years, always seizing others’ Opportunities. This time, they also coveted someone’s Ningjing Pill. I really hope they suffer a big loss.”

“Keep your voice down. If the Wolf King Society hears that, you’re finished.”

Within Black Desert Immortal City, many teahouses and restaurants were abuzz with discussion.

The reason was that a month ago, the Wolf King Society, one of the powers in Black Desert Immortal City, suddenly took notice of a group of Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

But who knew that among this group of Foundation Establishment Cultivators, there was actually a formidable individual.

Despite being a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator, he possessed Tier 3 Body Refining!

After killing two False Core Cultivators of the Wolf King Society, he directly alarmed the Wolf King.

One must know that no power that could make a name for itself in Black Desert Immortal City was simple.

This Wolf King not only possessed Core Formation Middle Stage strength but also had a Tier 3 Sand Flame Blood Wolf, making his combat power a top-tier among those of the same rank!

However, even with the Wolf King personally taking action, he couldn’t take down this person immediately.

He even pursued him with the Sand Flame Blood Wolf for ten days and ten nights, but this person still escaped, instantly making the name of this Foundation Establishment Cultivator, ‘Lu Wu,’ resound throughout Black Desert Immortal City!

At this moment, inside a grand hall.

“I can’t calculate it. How is this possible? Fellow Daoist Divine Calculator, as a Tier 3 Diviner, and with this person’s blood as a medium, how can you not calculate it?”

A tall, burly man clad in a black robe with a sinister face said coldly, like a ferocious wolf.

“Fellow Daoist Wolf King should know that since I, Divine Calculator, agreed to perform the divination, I would not fake it.”

“Even with the blood as a medium, this person’s heavenly secrets are still in complete chaos, making it impossible to calculate.”

“It is quite normal for this person, as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, to possess such astonishing combat power and a supreme treasure that conceals heavenly secrets.”

“If Fellow Daoist doesn’t believe me, you are welcome to invite others to calculate. If they can obtain even a shred of information, Fellow Daoist can come find trouble with me!”

The old man called ‘Divine Calculator’ looked somewhat pale and said in a deep voice.

Although he had only made a simple calculation, he felt that there was something wrong with this person’s situation.

But as a Diviner, unless they instinctively sensed a great auspicious Opportunity in the ethereal realm, they would absolutely not act on their own, to avoid incurring Karma and bringing disaster upon themselves.

“A supreme treasure that conceals heavenly secrets!”

Upon hearing this, the Wolf King’s expression changed between gloomy and bright.

Others only knew that this Foundation Establishment Cultivator must possess some kind of supreme Opportunity to have combat power comparable to Tier 3 Body Refining Middle Stage at Foundation Establishment Late Stage!

But through the pursuit of thousands of miles, he knew that this person had a top-tier supreme treasure on him!

When activated, the person seemed to be clad in a Dragon-shaped armor, his Physical Body combat power greatly increased, and he could directly withstand his Magic Treasure!

It was precisely because of this that his spirit beast was injured by the opponent, allowing him to escape.

If he could kill this person and seize the supreme treasure, his strength would undoubtedly increase by a level, thus giving him hope of reaching Core Formation Late Stage!

“This King naturally believes Fellow Daoist Divine Calculator.”

The Wolf King grinned, but his stark white teeth and sinister, sharp gaze gave off a terrifying and ferocious impression.

After speaking, he took back ‘Lu Wu’s’ blood from the Divine Calculator’s hand, preparing to find another diviner for calculation.

Although he believed the Divine Calculator’s words.

He was unwilling to give up such a supreme Opportunity just like that.

Even with a glimmer of hope, he had to find the other party!

In the boundless desert, sandstorms raged, making the world hazy.

Beside a mountain wall, two Cultivators in their thirties were facing each other.

“Moluo Xiang, you beast, Master taught you to Cultivate, yet you ambushed and killed Master and Senior Sister. Today, I will avenge Master and Senior Sister.”

A young man of twenty-seven or twenty-eight looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and said.

“Heh, my foolish younger brother, do you really think you’re my opponent just because you broke through to Foundation Establishment? Who gave you the guts and courage?”

The middle-aged man, clad in a black cloak, chuckled lowly, giving off an air of nonchalance.

However, as he spoke, he observed his surroundings, lest his foolish younger brother had brought others.

Just then, he looked at the stone wall nearby and felt something was amiss, frowning slightly.

However, this casual demeanor completely enraged the young man. He became like a furious lion, holding a Magic Seal, and charged towards the middle-aged man.

“Go to hell!”

The Magic Seal vibrated loudly, emitting a yellowish-brown profound light, causing sand to swirl behind him, forming a huge quicksand vortex.

“Foolish younger brother, if you want to kill me, this alone is not enough!”

The middle-aged man’s expression was indifferent. He lightly raised his palm and conjured a yellowish-brown Magic Ring.

Just as the Magic Ring and the yellowish-brown Magic Seal were about to collide.

“Crack! Crack! Crack—”

Cracks suddenly appeared on the stone wall next to the two, like a spiderweb.

Immediately after, the ground began to tremble, shaking wildly, and so did the stone wall next to it.

“Boom!”

The stone wall shattered with a bang, sending rocks flying.

A surge of blood Qi, like a surging flood, shot into the sky, and a majestic pressure permeated the air, making it feel heavy.

The young man and the middle-aged man, who were about to engage in battle, instantly felt their hair stand on end. Their bodies uncontrollably tensed and trembled, feeling an immense sense of danger, and they stopped fighting.

The two looked towards the crumbling, dust-filled stone wall.

They saw a tall and imposing figure gradually emerge, its muscles flowing with a layer of dazzling golden light, as if clad in golden battle armor.

Looking at the figure before them, whose blood Qi surged, whose aura was as deep as an abyss, and whose physique was robust and strong, both of them felt their throats dry, held their breath, and dared not Move an inch.

It was as if ordinary Yao Beasts encountered a Demon King, instinctively submitting and showing reverence.

“Excuse me, what is the name of the nearest city here, and how far is it from Black Desert Immortal City?”

At this moment, the golden light on the figure gradually receded, and he asked the two in front of him.

“Yes, yes, Senior.”

The middle-aged man nodded repeatedly, then handed a Jade Slip from his Storage Pouch to Lu Ping’an.

Lu Ping’an scanned the Jade Slip with his Divine Sense, then took out a Mid-Grade Spirit Stone from his Storage Pouch and threw it to the other party, saying, “Thank you.”

“If there’s anything between brothers, try to speak openly and don’t hide things, to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.”

He then cupped his fists slightly towards the two of them, and like a cannonball, he shot out, stirring up a violent gust of wind, and disappeared.

The middle-aged man watched Lu Ping’an leave, let out a long breath, his back already soaked with sweat, and bowed in salute: “Yes, Senior!”

Then he looked at the young man beside him and said, “Stupid little brother, your current strength is not enough to take revenge on me. Go practice some more. When you Cultivate to Foundation Establishment Sixth Layer, then come find me.”

After speaking, he controlled a streak of escape light and flew into the vast yellow sand.

The young man watched Lu Ping’an and his brother leave, remaining silent for a long time, then took a few deep breaths, clenched his fists, and shouted, “Moluoxiang, one day, I will kill you!”

After speaking, he also quickly left the place.

“After this battle, my Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique has reached the Peak of the Ninth Layer. As long as I accumulate and stabilize for another two or three years, I can Breakthrough to the Tenth Layer.”

In the Endless Desert, Lu Ping’an felt his physical condition.

With the nourishment of the Great Wilderness Dragon Spine, his physique had improved at an astonishing speed.

Moreover, through battle, the effect of the Great Wilderness Dragon Spine could also be stimulated.

Although he was severely injured in the battle with the Wolf King, he also gained a significant improvement.

“Wolf King, when I Breakthrough, I will definitely slay you!”

Lu Ping’an thought of the Wolf King in Black Desert Immortal City, his expression darkening slightly as he said coldly.

In this battle, not only was he chased for ten days and ten nights, suffering severe injuries.

In recent years, he had saved many people in Black Desert Immortal City, and five of them became his loyal followers.

However, in this battle, all these people died at the hands of the Wolf King.

“I used the Great Wilderness Dragon Armor in front of the Wolf King, so I absolutely cannot go to Black Desert Immortal City anymore.”

“Even if the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique Breaks through to the Tenth Layer, it will be difficult to slay the Wolf King. I must Breakthrough to Core Formation!”

In these years, Lu Ping’an also realized the shortcomings of the Great Wilderness Dragon Spine.

Although he gained a powerful Physical Body physique amplification, when he unleashed the Great Wilderness Dragon Armor, he was invincible against anyone below the Core Formation Late Stage.

However, with only the Physical Body physique, lacking corresponding Divine Ability Magic Treasure and secret techniques, he was unable to defeat Core Formation Middle Stage Cultivator, making the entire process feel like he had strength but couldn’t use it.

If his Cultivation Breakthrough to Core Formation, then he would also be able to Master more methods and exert more of the Great Wilderness Dragon Spine’s power.

“I have already obtained the Ningjing Pill. As long as I Cultivate to Foundation Establishment Peak, I should have a forty to fifty percent chance of Core Formation. This place is not far from the Wu Country border, so I can go to Wu Country to take a look.”

Lu Ping’an pondered for a moment and decided to go to Wu Country to take a look.

Although he could go home.

But he had been out for so long, yet he only managed to acquire one Ningjing Pill for himself.

It would be better to continue gaining experience outside, see if he could find any Opportunity, and accumulate more resources before returning.

Moreover, he had just caused trouble outside. If he went home, bringing trouble to his Family, it would not be good.

The desert environment is extremely harsh.

Not only are there Yao Beast, poisonous scorpions, and venomous insects, but there are also sandstorms from time to time.

For ordinary people to travel in the desert, it is full of danger.

Even Lu Ping’an would not travel at full speed in such a desert.

After all, the desert consumes too much, and there are few places to rest, so he can only consume Medicinal Pill and Spirit Stone to replenish himself.

If he consumes too much and has no replenishment, then encountering an accident will be extremely dangerous.

After more than a month of travel, he crossed the desert, the Flying Sand Chasm, and a mountain range, arriving at the border of Wu Country.

There were no Cultivator guarding the border here.

On the way, Lu Ping’an encountered many migrating Cultivator and learned that the situation in Wu Country was currently turbulent.

In the early years, Yue Country, Wu Country, and Liang Country formed a three-way standoff, maintaining a balance.

However, with the appearance of a second Nascent Soul True Lord in Liang Country’s overlord, Beast God Mountain, and the demise of Wu Country’s Overlord Martial Sect’s Nascent Soul Old Ancestor, followed by the failure of his successor, Immortal Master Tianwu, to Breakthrough to Nascent Soul, this balance was completely broken.

Without a Nascent Soul True Lord overseeing it, the Overlord Martial Sect was not only unable to contend with Yue Country and Liang Country, but its position as the overlord of Wu Country was also gradually becoming unstable, leaving it preoccupied with its own affairs.

After all, a Tier 4 Spirit Land is full of temptation for any Sect force.

Now that the Overlord Martial Sect no longer has a Nascent Soul True Lord overseeing it, the Spirit Land naturally belongs to those with virtue!

Moreover, the situation of the Overlord Martial Sect was spread, and forces from other countries, and even Loose Cultivator, rushed to Wu Country, wanting to get a share and gain some benefits from it.

During this process, coupled with Liang Country’s instigation, covert destruction, attacks, and looting, Wu Country is now in turmoil.

Therefore, many Wu Country Cultivator, and even Family forces, chose to flee Wu Country and head to the desert.

Although the desert environment is harsh.

It is precisely because the environment is harsh and resources are scarce that the war will not spread to this side.

If they continue to stay in Wu Country, who knows if they will be conscripted by the Overlord Martial Sect or other Sect forces, or even branded as spies.

“Is this Wu Country? Everyone practices martial arts, truly interesting.”

Lu Ping’an arrived at a small border town in Wu Country.

The men, women, and children here had a higher level of Physical Body Qi and blood than those in Jiang Country and Yue Country.

He had long heard that martial arts were flourishing in Wu Country, with everyone practicing martial arts. Now, seeing even a small border town like this, he immediately felt that the rumors were true.

“I heard that the Mortal Martial Artist in Wu Country can at most rival Qi Refining Peak Cultivator.”

Lu Ping’an was not in a hurry to gain experience. Instead, like a Mortal, he settled down in the small town and found a martial arts hall to understand the situation here.

“Practicing strength, practicing internal force.”

Through the martial arts hall, Lu Ping’an learned about the martial arts here.

It was similar to the Acquired and Innate stages in Jiang Country.

However, the focus here was on cultivating Qi and blood.

Through health preservation, regular routines, and Moves, they exercised the Qi and blood throughout the body.

When the Qi and blood throughout the body were tempered into one, combining hardness and softness, internal force would naturally arise, and then they would Breakthrough to the internal force stage.

The internal force stage was divided into entering internal force, forging bones, and refining organs.

It was about using internal force to temper the tendons, bones, internal organs, and limbs, thereby transforming the muscles and cleansing the marrow.

As for what came after, he did not know.

This was just a small border town, and most people only practiced Qi and blood to strengthen their bodies, so the owner of the martial arts hall also did not know.

But seeing Lu Ping’an as a one-in-ten-thousand martial arts prodigy, and also being wealthy, he gave him a letter of recommendation, suggesting that he go to the county town to learn martial arts.

Because he himself was only a Three-Blood Martial Artist and had not reached the internal force stage, he was simply unable to teach Lu Ping’an.

“The world is not peaceful now, and practicing martial arts still has some benefits, but try to avoid contact with those aristocratic families.”

“I heard that the Immortal Sects are not managing affairs now, and these aristocratic families are like bandits, especially, it is rumored that some aristocratic families collude with evil Cultivator, working hand in glove, capturing Martial Artist to refine human Medicinal Pill.”

The Master of the hall seemed to be a man with a story, and he whispered to Lu Ping’an.

“Refining human Medicinal Pill.”

Lu Ping’an’s heart suddenly sank.

He knew that the situation in Wu Country was chaotic now.

Without the deterrence of the Overlord Martial Sect, the Four Great Immortal Sects no longer managed affairs, and demonic Cultivator, and rogue Cultivator gradually emerged.

But he didn’t expect that someone would actually do something like refining human Medicinal Pill.

“Xiao An, for such matters, you just need to be more careful yourself. Also, when you go out, don’t show off your wealth.”

The Master of the hall also saw that Lu Ping’an had good character, was sincere, and had extraordinary talent, which was why he gave him a few more words of advice.

“Thank you, Master Zheng.”

Lu Ping’an responded in a deep voice, preparing to go and see the situation in Wu Country.

In Jiang Country, he greatly disliked the destructive Cultivator who acted recklessly.

Because in his opinion, no matter how Cultivator interacted with each other, they should not involve Mortals, using their power to oppress Mortals who had no power.

Immediately, Lu Ping’an bid farewell to the Master of the hall and began his journey through Wu Country.

Not only Yue Country, but Wu Country was also in turmoil.

With Jiang Country’s full-scale development, the Four Great Immortal Sects urgently conscripted families under their rule, sending all their main combat forces to the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range. Within Jiang Country, demonic Cultivator, evil Cultivator, and rogue Cultivator gangs gradually began to cause trouble.

Bihu Mountain.

Lu Qingxuan looked at the information in the Jade Slip in his hand, his expression solemn.

More than half a year had passed since the Four Great Immortal Sects’ urgent conscription.

Three months ago, news of the defeat on the Yue Country front spread to Jiang Country, and subsequently, demonic Cultivator and rogue Cultivator in Jiang Country gradually increased.

Lu Qingxuan suspected that this was Jin Country or Liang Country instigating and deliberately spreading news to cause widespread panic, and then infiltrating their hidden agents and spies into the rear of Jiang Country, transforming into rogue Cultivator, stirring up trouble, and creating chaos.

Undeniably, such methods were very effective.

He had just received news that Ziyun Ridge had been infiltrated by evil Cultivator, and the entire Family was wiped out.

If such news continued to reach the front lines of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, how could those Family Cultivator still have the heart to fight?

After all, most Family Cultivator went to the front lines to fight for a future for their Family.

But now that their Family was wiped out, what were they fighting for?

Lu Qingxuan pondered for a long time, signaling White Tiger Mountain, Huaguo Mountain, and Jinxia Valley to continue strengthening their defenses, then went to visit his aunt, Lu Miaoyun, to borrow her spirit pets, the Azure Jade Luan Bird and the Golden Armor Bean Mother.

Before, when Lu Muping went to the front lines, Qingzhu Mountain was only left with Lu Yuanzhong, who had little lifespan left. He then realized that if Qingzhu Mountain encountered rogue Cultivator, there might be danger, so he requested his elder sister, Lu Qingli, to go to Qingzhu Mountain to oversee it.

Now the situation was getting more and more severe, and one Lu Qingli alone might not be enough.

So he signaled his elder sister, Lu Qingqi, to bring the Tier 2 Azure Jade Luan Bird and Golden Armor Bean Mother to oversee it.

If Hongye Valley Market encountered a situation, they could also immediately ride the Azure Jade Luan Bird to provide support.

After all, with rogue Cultivator causing trouble, the danger level of the market was far higher than that of a Family Spirit Land.

Although Lu Qingqi was playful and childish, she also knew the importance of the matter and nodded in agreement.

After Lu Qingxuan watched his elder sister, Lu Qingqi, ride away on the Azure Jade Luan Bird, his heart suddenly stirred, and a bad premonition arose from the depths of his being.

“This is…”

After Awakening the Taiyi Divine Soul, his Divine Sense was comparable to a Core Formation cultivator, and his divination skills had improved rapidly, almost reaching the Tier 1 Peak level.

Although not high, perhaps due to the Taiyi Divine Soul, his intuition was very sharp, and at this moment, he instantly realized that something was wrong.

“A great ominous hexagram!”

Lu Qingxuan pinched his fingers to calculate, and his expression suddenly changed.
