Chapter 830: Negotiations, everyone has their own thoughts!
Above the boundless sea, wisps of greyish-white mist drifted, resembling a light veil, hazy and mysterious.
At this moment, a brilliant and dazzling golden rainbow streaked across the sky and sea, swift as lightning, tearing through the endless haze and stirring up fierce gales.
Under the influence of this gale, the calm sea instantly became turbulent, with waves splashing and sea creatures scattering in panic.
Lu Changsheng, with his tall and slender figure, his body flowing with chaotic energy, stood shoulder to shoulder with the pale-faced, armor-broken, and pitiful Lu Lingjing on the back of the Golden-Winged Roc, heading towards the Fuhai Sect.
Through the jade talisman token of True Lord Pinghai, Lu Changsheng could clearly sense that Old Ancestor Zhenhai was rapidly approaching him.
He was not surprised by this.
If this Old Ancestor Zhenhai sensed that he was actively going to the Fuhai Sect to find him, yet remained inactive and chose to cower within the Fuhai Sect’s mountain gate, then he would not be worthy of being the Old Ancestor of the Zhenhai Seven Sects, a hegemon of the Starry Sea.
Even if he used the sect’s grand formation to repel, or even severely injure, him, the Zhenhai Sect would be ridiculed by the Starry Sea once this matter spread.
After all, as the leader of a force, Lu Changsheng was very clear about the importance of prestige.
If someone were to attack your mountain gate like this, and you didn’t display absolute majesty and deterrence, other forces would see you as weak and take the opportunity to bite off a piece.
And the Zhenhai Seven Sects, as one of the top forces in the Starry Sea, with the resources, spiritual islands, mines, and sea trade routes under their control, were probably coveted by many forces who wanted to get a share!
As time passed, Lu Changsheng felt that Old Ancestor Zhenhai was not far away.
The Sun-Moon Two Elements Profound Light Mirror in Lu Changsheng’s arms immediately appeared.
“Awu!”
He injected his magic power into the Sun-Moon Two Elements Profound Light Mirror, began to prepare to accumulate power, and planned to give the other party a surprise attack when they met.
After all, his magic power had not yet fully recovered, and he could not use the [Sun-Moon Two Elements Profound Light Mirror] beyond its limit as before.
So, if he wanted to display power, it would be better to strike first upon meeting.
This was Lu Changsheng’s consistent fighting strategy.
With top-notch divine powers and magic treasures, why not use them from the beginning?
Why wait until both sides are evenly matched and difficult to separate before going all out and using trump cards?
Therefore, for a hundred years, except for acting and deliberately hiding his strength, Lu Changsheng basically went all out as soon as he made a move.
If the divine power techniques were not enough, he would use both his physical body and magic power, or use the [Nine Treasures Wishful Bone] to enhance the explosion of his spirit, energy, and spirit.
Although the [Nine Treasures Wishful Bone] was now useless and could not be casually exploded and amplified as in his early years.
But now he could initially activate the [Sun-Moon Two Elements Profound Light Mirror].
So, knowing that the enemy was difficult to deal with, he could naturally activate it in advance when he was about to arrive or when he met the enemy, to be prepared.
Under Lu Changsheng’s continuous magic power, the Sun-Moon Two Elements Profound Light Mirror instantly shone brightly, and began to absorb the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth, like a rising, brilliant sun.
Even though it was only a slight aura, the Golden-Winged Roc and Lu Lingjing both felt a scorching heat coming towards them at such a close distance.
“Bear with it for a while.”
Lu Changsheng softly comforted them.
If he had time, he would help the Golden-Winged Roc and the Raging Sea Black Dragon Whale refine a suitable armor.
Although the best weapons and magic treasures for demon kings are their demon bodies.
But demon kings can also use magic treasures, but they need to be compatible and custom-made.
Just like the Raging Wind Beast before, who even knew to refine the [Yuan Magnet Five Elements Mountain] and other spiritual treasures for himself to enhance his combat power.
A moment later.
“Five!”
“Four!”
“Three!”
“Two!”
“One!”
Lu Changsheng looked at the distant void, silently counting down the time in his heart.
However, he didn’t need to say more.
As the spirit of a Connate Spiritual Treasure, Awu’s detection range and control of distance were more accurate than his Golden Core Intermediate Stage divine sense.
The moment Old Ancestor Zhenhai entered the attack range, she directly burst out the brewing Solar Profound Light.
In an instant, the void collapsed, and the heaven and earth were filled with scorching heat.
A brilliant and dazzling divine light, as if condensing endless light and heat, tore through the endless void and shone towards the distant old man in a straw raincoat who was merging with the sea and sky.
“Hmm!?”
Old Ancestor Zhenhai, wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat, was stunned when he saw the Solar Profound Light suddenly shooting towards him, his expression horrified and furious.
Wait, are you opening with your ultimate move before we even start fighting?
Is that how you fight?
Are you trying to kill me right off the bat?
In the cultivation world, shouldn’t both sides meet and exchange blows, test each other’s strength, and then, based on the situation of both sides, choose to give in, make peace, or compensate?
Why are you like this, blasting over a Solar Divine Light before we even meet?
Isn’t this too domineering?
Or is it that the other party is sure of himself, thinking that he can kill me!
Moreover, according to True Lord Zhenhai and others, wasn’t this person just activating the [Eastern Emperor Mirror]?
How can he still activate it?
Is this person really just a Golden Core Intermediate Stage cultivator, as True Lord Zhenhai and others said, and not a Golden Core Late Stage giant?
Although Old Ancestor Zhenhai was extremely shocked and angry in his heart, feeling that the other party was bullying him too much, the situation was urgent, and he didn’t have time to think much.
In the blink of an eye, he threw out a palm-sized dark blue tortoise shell.
But the moment the tortoise shell was thrown out, it bloomed with a dazzling blue luster, and then grew in the wind, turning into a size of several tens of feet, steadily blocking in front of the Solar Profound Light.
“Boom boom boom!!!”
The dark blue tortoise shell bombarded by the Solar Profound Light kept trembling, as if an ancient Black Tortoise was roaring.
Immediately afterwards, not only did the crisscrossing patterns of the tortoise shell flow with a dark blue ghostly light, but also a dense dark light, like stars, appeared, intertwined with the runes on the surface of the tortoise shell, constantly resisting the Solar Profound Light.
“Eastern Emperor Mirror, this must be the Eastern Emperor Mirror!”
Old Ancestor Zhenhai shouted in horror in his heart.
Although he had never seen the Eastern Emperor Mirror, the Great Sun Divine Light of the Eastern Emperor lineage.
But through the power of the Solar Profound Light in front of him, he could almost certainly determine that this was the Great Sun Divine Light of the Eastern Emperor Mirror!
The reason is very simple.
Besides the Eastern Emperor Mirror, where in the world is there such a coincidence, and such a similar treasure!
The person in front of him is most likely the heir of the Eastern Emperor that he guessed!
However, as the Old Ancestor of the Zhenhai Seven Sects, a Golden Core Middle Stage cultivator, he was no ordinary person.
Especially the tortoise shell in front of him, which was refined from his own shed shell, and mixed with many rare spiritual materials.
It is by no means easy for ordinary Golden Core Intermediate Stage cultivators to break it.
“Old Ancestor Zhenhai, as expected, is no ordinary person.”
In the distance, Lu Changsheng, with the Sun-Moon Two Elements Profound Light Mirror above his head, carrying the Nine Abyss Black Tortoise Armor, his whole body filled with chaotic energy, stood on the Golden-Winged Roc.
He knew that it was impossible for him to easily kill Old Ancestor Zhenhai.
Unless he tried his best to burn his lifespan and the origin of the Connate Spiritual Treasure.
Otherwise, it was impossible to kill a Golden Core Middle Stage cultivator in one face-to-face encounter.
Without saying much, the Nine Tribulations Sword appeared in his hand, making a “clang” sound, and his whole person turned into a stream of light, directly killing towards Old Ancestor Zhenhai.
“Fellow Daoist, Fellow Daoist, please calm down. Our Zhenhai Seven Sects do not know the origin of Fellow Daoist. The old man came here this time thinking that it is better to resolve enmity than to create it, and came to resolve grievances.”
Old Ancestor Zhenhai felt that Lu Changsheng continued to kill, and a sharp and fierce sword intent permeated, and immediately shouted loudly.
It wasn’t that he was scared out of his wits by Lu Changsheng.
But a wise man submits to circumstances!
As a Golden Core cultivator, only by knowing how to assess the situation, advance and retreat, and take good care of oneself, can one go a long way in the crisis-ridden cultivation world.
Through the Solar Profound Light in front of him, and the Connate Spiritual Treasure aura emanating from the Sun-Moon Two Elements Profound Light Mirror, he had determined in his heart that the other party was the heir of the Eastern Emperor!
The mirror in front of him is the treasure of the “Sun-Moon Star Palace” — the Eastern Emperor Mirror!
In this case, unless he was absolutely sure of killing the other party, otherwise fighting again would only escalate the grievances and waste magic power.
Therefore, it is better to take a step back first, stabilize the other party, try to maintain the state, and then find a way to solve him.
After all, the cultivation world does not completely rely on fighting and killing.
Old Ancestor Zhenhai had been operating in the Starry Sea for thousands of years, not to mention the accumulated favors and connections.
His body alone was enough to serve as a top trump card to solve many crises and troubles!
“Hmm!?”
Lu Changsheng raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw that Old Ancestor Zhenhai directly admitted defeat.
Although his strategy in his heart was to give the other party a surprise attack through the [Sun-Moon Two Elements Profound Light Mirror].
Then, through the Golden-Winged Roc and the Nine Tribulations Sword, he would further catch the other party off guard, so as to demand an explanation.
But he never expected that the other party would soften before the official fight?
Is this person a turtle?
However, Lu Changsheng also knew that it was impossible for him to kill Old Ancestor Zhenhai in his current state.
Even in his full peak state, he would have to make many preparations before he could possibly destroy his Golden Core spirit body.
Now, at most, he could deter him and demand an explanation, such as demanding the Fuhai Sect as compensation.
As for the subsequent troubles…
In Lu Changsheng’s view, the longer the time dragged on, the more beneficial it would be for him.
He could not only collect natural treasures and refine secret treasures that affect the Golden Core spirit body.
He could also break through to the second level of the Golden Core as soon as possible, and raise his body refinement to the Golden Core Middle Stage!
Moreover, he had just obtained the Demon Subduing Talisman not long ago.
He could enslave a Rank 4 Intermediate Stage demon king to elevate his combat power by another level!
At that time, what trouble could the Zhenhai Sect possibly stir up!
“You Zhenhai Seven Sects have repeatedly sought trouble with this venerable one, even injuring my spirit pet to such a state. If you don’t give me an explanation today, this matter is not over!”
Lu Changsheng held the Nine Tribulation Sword, the Sun and Moon Two Forms Profound Light Mirror floated above his head, and chaotic energy flowed around him, obscuring his face, giving people a sense of mystery, vastness, and unfathomable depth.
The Golden-Winged Roc and Lu Lingjing didn’t speak, their bodies both emitting a Rank 4 aura, rushing towards the Zhenhai Ancestor.
“Two low-level True Spirits…”
Due to his own nature, the Zhenhai Ancestor was extremely sensitive to the bloodline aura of True Spirit level beings.
He realized that the Golden-Winged Roc and Lu Lingjing both possessed True Spirit bloodlines.
The newest novels are first published on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!
He didn’t care about these low-level True Spirits, and even a sense of superiority and disdain welled up in his bones.
However, given the current situation, he didn’t show it, and said in an old and deep voice: “It is better to resolve enmity than to prolong it. Although my Zhenhai Seven Sects were in the wrong first, Daoist friend has taken such heavy action, which should have eased your anger.”
“Therefore, regarding the matter of Daoist friend’s spirit pet, I am willing to offer a sum of spirit stones as compensation.”
The Zhenhai Ancestor now only wanted to settle the matter peacefully, and then go to the Star Moon Palace to further understand and inquire about the matters of the East Emperor’s successor, as well as the attitude of the Star Moon Palace.
“What, do you think this venerable one lacks your spirit stones?”
Lu Changsheng said with a cold voice upon hearing this.
“I believe that Daoist friend naturally does not lack these spirit stones, but this is compensation for Daoist friend’s spirit pet, as the old man’s sincerity in resolving the grievances!”
Facing Lu Changsheng’s aggressive attitude, the Zhenhai Ancestor forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a low voice.
Three Nascent Souls of his sect were killed by the other party, and three Nascent Souls had their Dharma bodies destroyed by the other party. Under such circumstances, he, as the ancestor, was still humbly apologizing, which was extremely frustrating!
If it weren’t for the East Emperor’s successor and the other party’s astonishing strength, he would have fought Lu Changsheng!
Otherwise, would he really think that he was afraid of him!
The Zhenhai Ancestor took a deep breath and continued: “If Daoist friend has any other conditions, you can say them directly!”
“This venerable one was originally cultivating in seclusion in the Great Dream Marsh, but you Zhenhai Seven Sects have repeatedly come to disturb my peace.”
Lu Changsheng pondered for a moment and said: “Coincidentally, this venerable one is preparing to change places to cultivate in seclusion, so I will take the territory of the Overturning Sea Sect as compensation.”
Although he could open his mouth wide and demand more.
But now, demanding more territory was meaningless to him.
After all, the territory needed someone to sit in charge and guard it.
Demanding the Overturning Sea Sect was also to use the Overturning Sea Sect to block the Great Dream Marsh.
And use the Overturning Sea Sect as a springboard to prepare for entering the Sea of Stars in the future.
Besides that, it was also that he now needed a Rank 4 cave dwelling to temporarily cope with the situation, to cultivate and break through.
“The Overturning Sea Sect!?”
The Zhenhai Ancestor’s heart suddenly paused, not expecting Lu Changsheng to actually want the Overturning Sea Sect as compensation.
His heart was first filled with anger, but then instantly with joy.
After all, he was worried that he didn’t have time to inquire about Lu Changsheng’s details.
He was worried that the other party would come and go without a trace.
But he didn’t expect that the other party would actually demand the Overturning Sea Sect as a spiritual ground.
As long as the other party dared to cultivate in seclusion in the Overturning Sea Sect, he could set up a net and summon his main body to kill him!
For a time, the Zhenhai Ancestor couldn’t wait to agree immediately.
But having lived for so many years, he still knew that such things must not be seen through by Lu Changsheng, and said in a deep voice: “Isn’t Daoist friend’s appetite a bit too big?”
“My Zhenhai Seven Sects have only established such a foundation after thousands of years. Daoist friend wants to take away the territory of one of my sects with just one sentence!”
In the Zhenhai Ancestor’s words, there was not only a hint of anger, but also the Nascent Soul Middle Stage mana constantly surging, forming a terrifying spiritual pressure, making the air seem to freeze.
“Since that’s the case, then there’s no need to waste time, let’s see the real moves!”
Although Lu Changsheng’s Heavenly Yuan Treasure Emperor Lotus’s mana was mostly consumed now, and his state was average, he appeared very strong and domineering.
The Sun and Moon Two Forms Profound Light Mirror trembled above his head, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the endless sharpness and sword qi of the Nine Tribulation Sword in his hand flowed, wanting to kill the Zhenhai Ancestor.
“Daoist friend, wait!”
The Zhenhai Ancestor immediately raised his hand and shouted, placing the deep blue tortoise shell in front of him, and endless waves swept around.
“Daoist friend wants the Overturning Sea Sect as compensation, the old man can agree, but there is one condition.”
The Zhenhai Ancestor stared at Lu Changsheng in front of him, his eyes full of anger, unwillingness, and regret.
Then he said somewhat weakly: “As long as Daoist friend agrees, I am willing to give the Overturning Sea Sect as compensation.”
Lu Changsheng looked at the Zhenhai Ancestor and signaled him to state his condition.
“That is, in name, the Overturning Sea Sect still belongs to my Zhenhai Seven Sects. Daoist friend can use it as you please, and even the subsequent income will belong to Daoist friend.”
“As long as Daoist friend can agree, I am willing to give the Overturning Sea Sect and its territory to Daoist friend.”
The Zhenhai Ancestor’s voice carried a hint of old age, fatigue, helplessness, and entreaty.
“Hehe, what a good calculation.”
Lu Changsheng sneered and said: “Since that’s the case, this venerable one also has a condition.”
“This venerable one only needs a spiritual ground to cultivate in seclusion. I will not only not move your Overturning Sea Sect, but also, if you Zhenhai Seven Sects encounter trouble in the future, this venerable one can also help.”
“But the previous compensation needs to be supplemented with another Transformation Pill!”
Honglian is currently at the peak of Core Formation, and is preparing for Nascent Soul.
But the two Transformation Pills in his hand had already been used up.
Although according to the intelligence information of his son, Lu Quanzhen, Stone Sea True Monarch had one in his hand.
But without any medium of trust, even as a Rank 4 Diviner, it would be extremely difficult to find the whereabouts of a Nascent Soul True Monarch.
And the Zhenhai Seven Sects, as one of the top forces in the Sea of Stars, Lu Changsheng didn’t believe that their treasure vault didn’t have one or two Transformation Pills.
Since that was the case, Lu Changsheng thought of taking this opportunity to ask for a Transformation Pill from the Zhenhai Ancestor to help Honglian break through to Nascent Soul as soon as possible.
“That’s impossible!”
The Zhenhai Ancestor immediately said loudly.
He was willing to give the Overturning Sea Sect because he wanted to use the Overturning Sea Sect to delay Lu Changsheng, so as to buy time to make plans and wait for his main body to come over.
But the Transformation Pill, his Zhenhai Seven Sects didn’t have many either.
Especially now that True Monarch Pinghai, True Monarch Fuhai, and True Monarch Nuhai had fallen, he had to cultivate new Nascent Soul cultivators.
“Since you don’t have sincerity, then there’s no need to waste time.”
Lu Changsheng’s eyes showed coldness, and he appeared very domineering, directly taking action at the slightest disagreement.
“Wait, Daoist friend said you can help my Zhenhai Seven Sects solve difficulties, is that true!”
The Zhenhai Ancestor said with a difficult tone.
Although the Transformation Pill was precious, compared to the East Emperor’s inheritance and the prestige of the Zhenhai Seven Sects, it was still worth it.
But he was puzzled, Lu Changsheng had already broken through to Nascent Soul, what did he want the Transformation Pill for?
Could it be for the city lord of Great Dream Immortal City? Or his wife, disciples, sons, and daughters?
If this person still had weaknesses such as a wife, disciples, sons, and daughters, then everything would be easier!
“Naturally, this venerable one has always been true to his word.”
Lu Changsheng said in a cold voice, but couldn’t help but think to himself, is this Zhenhai Ancestor too cunning?
He made such a request, but the Zhenhai Ancestor was unwilling to take action and fight first, which was simply unreasonable!
Although he guessed that the Zhenhai Ancestor was now unsure of his situation, so he chose to be patient, but was this too much patience?
He still wanted to touch the Zhenhai Ancestor’s combat power and methods through a battle first.
But the more this was the case, the more Lu Changsheng was wary of the Zhenhai Ancestor.
He prepared to wait until his state was at its peak, his cultivation and body refinement had broken through and further improved, and he had power, then he would kill him as soon as possible.
“Okay, as Daoist friend said, the old man is willing to use this as compensation, so as to turn hostility into friendship.”
The Zhenhai Ancestor said with unwillingness and frustration in his tone.
Although he could hide such sounds and emotions.
But at this time, he definitely couldn’t show anger or hatred, so that Lu Changsheng could see through his flaws.
In this regard, he still had a certain degree of confidence, even if the other party had some divine soul methods, it would be difficult to capture and see through his emotional thoughts.
“Since Daoist friend is willing to resolve the grievances, then this venerable one is not a petty person either.”
Lu Changsheng said so, secretly thinking in his heart, could it be that the other party had set up a net in the Overturning Sea Sect?
But he sensed the heavenly secrets through his spiritual sense, and there was no sign of misfortune?
“This old thing definitely has a problem!”
Although Lu Changsheng’s divination and observing techniques could not see the situation from the Zhenhai Ancestor’s face and body.
But his intuition told him that the other party definitely had a problem!
Even if he squatted outside the Zhenhai Sect for a year and a half, he would kill him!
