Chapter 654: Daluo Mountain, shocked Lu Changsheng!

Lu Pingan lay in the pool flowing with crystal-clear spring water, his aura growing increasingly powerful. His body shone brilliantly, like a sun, radiant and dazzling, emitting an immortal golden light.

During this process, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the underground palace and the spring water of life became increasingly scarce, gradually drying up.

Just as the spring water of life was about to dry up completely, the huge vortex of spiritual energy above the underground palace solidified, dragon energy steamed, and tiger aura condensed, transforming into two domineering and boundless dragon-tiger phantoms.

“Roar roar roar—”

The dragon and tiger roared, the vast dragon-tiger thunder sound was like the sound of the Great Dao, and heaven and earth resonated.

Outside the towering mountains in the clear sky for thousands of miles, wind and clouds suddenly gathered, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, and faint dragon roars and tiger howls could be heard.

“Boom boom boom—”

The underground palace of the mountain shook. If it weren’t for the formation restrictions, it would have collapsed and cracked under this terrifying power.

“Boy, I have never explained my actions to anyone in my life. Success or failure is determined by fate, but since you have inherited my legacy, you can be considered half a disciple of Yu Tiansheng. In the future, my grievances will be unavoidable for you. I hope you can still be as tenacious as you are now!”

An old and weak voice rang in Lu Pingan’s mind, and then turned into a wisp of green smoke and dissipated.

Lu Pingan, whose soul consciousness was a little confused, only felt a stream of memory information pouring into his mind.

Fortunately, this was just pure memory information, not a soul imprint; otherwise, under the surging impact, he would probably be affected and his personality would change drastically.

After a long time, Lu Pingan opened his heavy, abyss-like eyes.

“I have broken through to the Core Formation stage.”

He looked at his hands, which were flowing with golden luster, and his body, with a dazed expression, somewhat unable to believe it.

During the previous process, although he was in a deep sleep and unconscious, his consciousness was barely awake and he knew what was happening.

He was facing a body seizure, but there was a force protecting his soul, preventing the other party from seizing his body no matter what.

Even at the last moment, it helped him break through the Nascent Soul’s body seizure and severely injured and repelled it.

Then…

Then the other party seemed to realize that there was something wrong with him and chose to give up the body seizure and give him the inheritance of the cultivation method.

It was just that during this process, Lu Pingan was muddled, as if he had a long and endless dream.

Even he himself felt a little unreal.

“Yu Tiansheng, Imperishable Golden Body, Dragon-Tiger Brawling Abyss Art, Nine Cicada Imperishable Golden Body Strength…”

Lu Pingan already knew the origin of the person who wanted to seize his body.

The Lord of Dragon-Tiger Immortal City in the Yu Kingdom, Yu Tiansheng, a Nascent Soul中期 cultivator.

In his youth, he encountered immortal opportunities one after another and embarked on the path of immortality, cultivating to the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage. Then, he encountered the greatest opportunity of his life, which was the top-level cultivation method he was now practicing, as well as the Acquired Spiritual Body.

However, blessings and misfortunes go hand in hand. Only after he broke through to the Nascent Soul stage did he realize that the secret realm he had obtained came from a top-level force, the Great Luo Mountain.

This force was very domineering. After learning about his situation, they directly asked him to hand over the inheritance and treasures of the secret realm.

Faced with this situation, Yu Tiansheng naturally refused. The two sides broke out in a great battle, and in the end, he relied on the Imperishable Golden Body’s powerful vitality to escape.

Afterwards, he changed his name and came to the Yu Kingdom to establish Dragon-Tiger Immortal City, improving himself step by step.

However, the Great Luo Mountain did not let him go. After learning about his situation, they secretly pushed the Zhao Kingdom to start a war against the Yu Kingdom where he was located.

At that time, he had just broken through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage and needed resources for cultivation, so he fought with other forces in the Yu Kingdom against the Zhao Kingdom, fighting all the way.

Who knew that in the final battle, during the Nascent Soul stage gambling battle, he was ambushed by the Great Luo Mountain.

However, he was not simple to rise from a rogue cultivator to this point today, and he still managed to fight his way out.

However, in this battle, his proud Imperishable Golden Body was broken by the Great Luo Mountain’s secret treasure, and he was hit by the [Falling Meteor Arrow]. During his escape, his flesh and blood body continued to wither and decay, and his cultivation level also fell from the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage to the early stage.

Faced with his constantly deteriorating body, he had no choice but to choose to seize a body with his Nascent Soul.

However, he was being hunted down by the Great Luo Mountain and had no time to choose a suitable body. He escaped to the Wu Kingdom through the ‘White Wolf’ he had subdued in his early years, ordering the other party to help him find a body refinement genius with excellent talent.

Then, after searching for more than ten years, he finally waited for Lu Pingan, a body refinement cultivator who was suitable for his situation.

“Four Nascent Soul cultivators from the Great Luo Mountain attacked.”

Lu Pingan looked at the fragments of memory that Yu Tiansheng had given him and was amazed.

A Nascent Soul True Lord can suppress a country.

And Yu Tiansheng actually managed to escape from the ambush of four Nascent Soul True Lords.

If the Great Luo Mountain did not have a secret treasure to break his Imperishable Golden Body and then erode his body with the [Falling Meteor Arrow], it would have been difficult for even four people to kill him.

This was also why, even if he wanted to seize a body, he had to have a body that matched the [Imperishable Golden Body], wanting to cultivate this Acquired Spiritual Body again.

Because this Spiritual Body can be said to be a top-level body refinement physique, like an ancient body refinement cultivator. Unless there is a difference of a major level, it is extremely difficult for cultivators of the same rank to kill him.

Not only is his physical body strong and impervious to all evils, immune to many spells, curses, poisons, baleful auras, killing intents, etc., injuries that would take ordinary people several years to recover from, he can heal himself in ten days or half a month. It’s simply terrifying.

It was precisely by relying on this terrifying vitality that Yu Tiansheng was able to constantly survive near-death situations in secret realms and grow from a rogue cultivator to a Nascent Soul cultivator.

“Imperishable Golden Body, Nine Cicada Imperishable Golden Body Strength…”

Lu Pingan murmured, experiencing this Acquired Spiritual Body.

His Imperishable Golden Body was only condensed by relying on Yu Tiansheng’s remaining Golden Body origin and was far from being comparable to the other party’s.

But even so, it filled his whole body with an indescribable surging divine power. Every inch of flesh, blood, and skin seemed to be flowing with an immortal and imperishable charm.

Moreover, when the other party converted his 《Black Dragon Codex》 to 《Dragon-Tiger Brawling Abyss Art》 and condensed the [Imperishable Golden Body], his Great Wilderness Dragon Spine further fused, forming a strange unknown change with the Imperishable Golden Body.

It was as if two forces were undergoing some kind of fusion, but they had not completely fused.

Lu Pingan was not clear about these things and needed to spend some time to figure them out.

“This person converted my cultivation method to 《Dragon-Tiger Brawling Abyss Art》 and 《Nine Cicada Imperishable Golden Body Strength》, and condensed the Dragon-Tiger Dao Foundation, Dragon-Tiger Golden Core…”

“Unless I am willing to give up the Dragon-Tiger Dao Foundation and Dragon-Tiger Golden Core and switch to other methods, otherwise, if I reveal this cultivation method and the Imperishable Golden Body in the future, I will definitely be noticed by the Great Luo Mountain. Moreover, the cultivation method he gave me only goes up to the Nascent Soul stage. If I want subsequent cultivation methods in the future, I must also go to the Great Luo Mountain.”

Lu Pingan quietly felt his situation and knew Yu Tiansheng’s purpose.

The other party wanted to use him to take revenge on the Great Luo Mountain.

As for whether he could take revenge, he did not have too much hope.

He was just laying a chess piece in the last moments of his life, gambling on it.

“One day, if I encounter the Great Luo Mountain, I will avenge you.”

Although Yu Tiansheng wanted to seize his body and use him to take revenge, he did not have a good impression of the Great Luo Mountain either.

In order to deal with Yu Tiansheng, they directly used the cultivators of two countries to set up a plan, causing widespread suffering.

Now that Yu Tiansheng was dead, when a person dies, his light goes out, and there is nothing to say.

Moreover, the other party helped him condense the Imperishable Golden Core and Imperishable Golden Body in his last moments, allowing his body refinement to take another step forward, which can also be considered a kindness.

Lu Pingan looked at a jade-colored ring not far away and gently raised his hand.

It was Yu Tiansheng’s storage ring.

Although the other party was already dead, there were still powerful restrictions on it, and he could not break them in a short time.

However, according to incomplete memories, the other party’s natal spiritual treasures were broken during this escape, and the remaining resources and natural treasures were all invested in this underground palace, so there should not be too many good things now.

However, Yu Tiansheng’s memory information recorded several secret treasure locations.

Most rogue cultivators, and even sect cultivators, will have three burrows for a cunning rabbit, preparing several secret treasure troves for themselves to store some natural treasures and rare materials.

This way, if they encounter danger and manage to escape, they can rely on these resources to rise quickly.

It was just that most of Yu Tiansheng’s treasure locations were in the Yu Kingdom area, which was very far away from the Wu Kingdom. Lu Pingan could not rush there now, nor did he dare to go.

Yu Tiansheng was ambushed and suffered such a fate, and the Yu Kingdom most likely lost the war.

If he obtained the other party’s inheritance and appeared in the Yu Kingdom, being recognized for his cultivation method and spiritual body would definitely attract trouble.

At the same time, the black-robed figure guarding outside the underground palace suddenly felt a tremor in his heart, sensing that the restriction Yu Tiansheng had placed on his divine soul had dissipated naturally, like smoke.

“What’s going on!”

The black-robed figure’s heart trembled. There was no joy on his face, only cold limbs and icy unease in his heart.

The master was performing a body snatching in the underground palace, so how could the divine soul restriction suddenly dissipate?

Even if the master completed the body snatching and wanted to remove the restriction for himself, it wouldn’t dissipate so suddenly.

Unless Yu Tiansheng was dead.

But even if a Nascent Soul spirit body was fragile, it was still a Nascent Soul spirit body. How could it die so easily?

Unless a Nascent Soul True Lord took action, or a top-tier Core Formation cultivator with treasures that could restrain Nascent Soul spirit bodies, it would be difficult to kill a Nascent Soul spirit body.

Actually, there was another possibility: the body snatching failed.

But the black-robed figure thought it was impossible.

Just a Foundation Establishment cultivator, no matter what, even with a third-tier body refinement, it was impossible for him to cause the master’s body snatching to fail!

“Master!”

The black-robed figure stood up and shouted towards the underground palace, his expression anxious, still holding a glimmer of hope in his heart.

However, from within the underground palace, a tall, robust young man with thick, black hair and a body exuding golden luster walked out and punched towards him.

Although Lu Ping’an was willing to help Yu Tiansheng take revenge, he had no good feelings towards him or the black-robed figure before him.

This black-robed figure had hunted down countless cultivators to help Yu Tiansheng find a suitable body.

To hunt him down and provide Yu Tiansheng with a body to snatch, he had even set up an ambush, killing many people from his White Emperor City. So, facing this person, how could he be polite?

“Boom!!!”

The force of the fist surged, dragons and tigers roared, carrying infinite power, directly breaking through layers of void and smashing in front of the black-robed figure.

Although Lu Ping’an hadn’t yet cultivated Core Formation divine abilities, and his body refinement technique had been transformed into the 《Nine Cicada Undying Golden Body Strength》, he had possessed third-tier body refinement in his early years and mastered third-tier body techniques.

The black-robed figure instantly felt a life-or-death crisis. The hairs on his body stood on end, and the warning bells in his heart rang wildly. In a hurried moment, he activated his protective magic shield and his robe billowed, but under the dragon and tiger fist light, the robe and magic shield shattered, his body exploded, and blood splattered.

“You, how could you do this! You were the one forming your core before!”

The white wolf’s body was almost split in half, pale and withered, spitting out blood, and said in shock. He could confirm that Yu Tiansheng was dead and the body snatching had failed.

And the young man in front of him had further improved his physical body and mana.

Lu Ping’an didn’t speak, and continued to punch out. Golden energy and blood surged like an ocean, illuminating the entire cave, almost submerging the black-robed figure.

“Bang, bang, bang!!!”

Dragons and tigers roared, crushing towards the black-robed figure, causing the entire mountain to shake violently and constantly collapse.

The black-robed figure knew that in such a narrow place, he was no match for Lu Ping’an, this body cultivator.

Moreover, he had already witnessed Lu Ping’an’s perverted physical strength and tenacious vitality. Now that the other party’s cultivation had further improved, he was completely no match.

“咻!”

The white wolf used a life-burning technique, forming hand seals and offering a flying shuttle magic weapon, wrapping himself up, wanting to break through the air and leave.

How could Lu Ping’an let him escape? The body flowing with golden luster surged with wind and thunder, and a majestic giant axe, a dark golden pagoda, and so on condensed above his head.

During this process, the Great Desolate Dragon Spine in his body roared, and energy and blood roared out like a true dragon, piercing through the heavens and the earth, merging with these visions, like an ancient Azure Dragon roaring out, unleashing world-destroying divine power.

“Undying Golden Body, Dragon and Tiger Fighting the Abyss Skill!”

When the white wolf saw Lu Ping’an’s appearance, his eyes and pupils suddenly shrank, recognizing that this was Yu Tiansheng’s method.

However, before he could think too much, the immeasurable fist light covering the sky and earth submerged him, like a cloud of death completely enveloping him!

“Boom, boom, boom!!!”

The white wolf roared, reserving nothing, and resisted with all his strength!

If he was in his prime, he would have been confident in resisting this punch.

But just now, Lu Ping’an seized the opportunity and directly shattered his physical body with a punch, shattering his robe and seriously injuring him.

He roared unwillingly.

But in just a moment, the remaining half of his body continued to explode, blood splattering, and finally turned into a cloud of blood mist, his aura annihilated.

At the same time, the towering mountain collapsed madly, and huge rocks fell, wanting to bury them.

Lu Ping’an put away the black-robed figure’s shattered flying shuttle magic weapon, storage bag, and storage ring, and quickly left the mountain.

Looking at the towering mountain in front of him that was constantly collapsing, Lu Ping’an’s muscles and bones, cast in gold, exploded, rapidly condensing strength, and then punched out.

The fist light was dazzling, like the sky falling and Mount Buzhou breaking.

The towering mountain in front of him completely collapsed, like a ruin.

Immediately, Lu Ping’an tapped his foot and shot towards White Emperor City.

He didn’t plan to stay in Wu Country any longer. He planned to disband the warriors of White Emperor City, then go to Black Desert Immortal City to take revenge, kill the Wolf King, and then go straight home.

Now that he had broken through to Core Formation, when the time came to solve the Wolf King, and with the previous Core Condensation Pill and resource harvest, it would be enough to contribute to his family.

Jiang Country, Great Dream Immortal City.

Lu Changsheng saw that his son Lu Lingxiao’s condition was stable, and planned to guide Lu Qingshan’s cultivation before taking the Sun and Moon Two Instruments Profound Light Mirror to Yue Country and Wu Country.

As for Ling Zixiao’s Core Formation, he planned to talk about it when he returned.

After all, it would take at least half a year for Ling Zixiao to break through to Core Formation. If he delayed any longer, it would be too long.

Just then, suddenly, a Core Formation mana and a rich, majestic energy and blood poured into his body out of thin air, accompanied by a system prompt.

【Congratulations to the host for giving birth to eleven spirit body descendants, and obtaining a lottery opportunity!】

【Detecting that the host’s spirit body effects conflict, do you want to choose to merge?】

“Huh?”

Lu Changsheng was stunned, his expression surprised and suspicious.

Give birth to spirit body descendants?

He had been busy all these years and hadn’t had any children.

And just now the mana and energy and blood…

“System!”

Lu Changsheng’s heart suddenly paused, and he silently recited, opening his son Lu Ping’an’s system panel.

【Name: Lu Ping’an】

【Lifespan: 95/607】

【Talent: Fourth-Grade Spiritual Root, Undying Golden Body (Superior Spirit Body)】

【Cultivation: Core Formation First Layer】

【Talent: Body Refinement Compatibility (110%)】

“This…”

Lu Changsheng looked at his son’s system panel, his expression surprised and suspicious, his face full of confusion.

Before, when his son broke through from the seventh layer of Foundation Establishment to the ninth layer, he was surprised and guessed that the other party had benefited from misfortune.

But how long had it been before his son broke through from the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment to Core Formation?

Moreover, the spiritual root had been upgraded from the fifth grade to the fourth grade, and he had also gained a superior spirit body.

Not only that, according to the energy and blood feedback just now, Lu Changsheng realized that his son’s Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Formula had broken through to the eleventh layer.

“Breakthrough to Core Formation, third-tier late-stage body refinement, spiritual root upgrade, and a acquired spirit body?”

Even Lu Changsheng, who had seen a lot, was confused by this series of upgrades and didn’t know what was going on with his son Lu Ping’an.

“What’s going on with Ping’an? Did he obtain a Nascent Soul inheritance?”

Lu Changsheng frowned slightly, thinking in his heart.

But for a Nascent Soul inheritance, unless, like True Lord Tianyuan in his early years, the other party gave Lu Ping’an the Nascent Soul origin, it would be impossible to improve like this.

One moment, a body snatching? The next moment, giving the Nascent Soul origin?

“No, I still have to go take a look.”

Lu Changsheng thought about it and felt that he still had to make a trip.

Otherwise, Lu Ping’an’s situation would always remind him of Lu Quanzhen’s situation before, and he felt worried.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng got up and went to Dragon Fish Island, preparing to take back the Great Luo Sword Embryo from Lu Qingshan, and then go to Yue Country and Wu Country to see what was going on with Lu Ping’an.

However, just as he was about to go out, Lu Changsheng paused and silently recited to the system, first taking a look at what was going on with this 【Undying Golden Body】.
