Chapter 855: Jue Jian comes to visit, and the strange news of the immortality method of heaven and earth!

Heaven Sword Sect.

Sect Master Hall.

The Heaven Sword Sect Master looked at the urgent secret letter from Great Dream Immortal City, his entire being filled with surprise, shock, and disbelief.

One of the Three Demonic Sects of Jin, the Yinming Ghost Sect, was flattened by the Great Dream City Lord, and its Grand Elder, Nether Fiend True Lord, died;

The Five Poison Sect and Heavenly Corpse Sect formed an alliance with Great Dream Immortal City, promising not to invade Jiang Country again.

They even offered to provide strategic support for the Liang Yue War.

“How is this possible!”

Not only the Heaven Sword Sect Master.

Even the Immortal Master stationed in Great Dream Immortal City, who delivered the message, was incredibly shocked and disbelieving of the news.

At the end of the secret letter, it was stated that he was only relaying the message for Great Dream Immortal City and did not know if the news was true or false.

“The Yinming Ghost Sect was flattened, and Grand Elder Nether Fiend True Lord died.”

The Heaven Sword Sect Master took a few deep breaths to calm his emotions and calmly analyze the authenticity of the news.

After a long period of contemplation, he believed that there was a high probability that this matter was true.

Half a year ago, their Heaven Sword Sect had already received news, sensing that something was wrong with the situation in Jin Country.

The Five Poison Sect and Heavenly Corpse Sect were making frequent moves.

However, the Yinming Ghost Sect acted unusually, suddenly choosing to retract its forces and go into a semi-secluded state.

Their Heaven Sword Sect’s informants placed within the Yinming Ghost Sect also lost contact at this time.

For this, he had even dispatched a Core Formation cultivator from the sect to investigate the situation.

It was just that news of such matters would not be transmitted back so quickly.

“What is the Great Dream Immortal City trying to achieve by sending this message?”

The Heaven Sword Sect Master pondered in his heart.

Although on the surface, this was good news.

It helped their Heaven Sword Sect resolve a major concern, no longer needing to worry about the invasion of the Three Demonic Sects of Jin.

However, the Heaven Sword Sect Master knew very well in his heart that there was not much trust between their Heaven Sword Sect and Great Dream Immortal City.

Now, the Heaven Sword Sect had invested most of its strength in the Liang Yue War, fighting against Liang Country and Yuan Country.

At this critical juncture, Great Dream Immortal City suddenly displayed the terrifying strength to annihilate the Yinming Ghost Sect, and even formed an alliance with the Heavenly Corpse Sect and Five Poison Sect, which was extremely dangerous for their Heaven Sword Sect.

Once Great Dream Immortal City harbored ill intentions towards their Heaven Sword Sect, it would be even more dangerous and terrifying than the Three Demonic Sects of Jin in earlier years.

The Heaven Sword Sect Master did not dare to delay or hesitate, and immediately went to visit Sword Saint Monarch to report this news.

“Flattened the Yinming Ghost Sect, Nether Fiend True Lord is dead!?”

Sword Saint Monarch’s expression also changed when he heard the Heaven Sword Sect Master’s report, and his heart was filled with surprise and doubt.

He didn’t expect that two years ago, Yangming True Lord, as the Great Dream City Lord, came to him to borrow a secret treasure that could restrict and affect Nascent Soul Spirit Body.

In the blink of an eye, he went to Jin Country, flattened the Yinming Ghost Sect, and killed Nether Fiend True Lord.

Although he had gone to Great Dream Immortal City and witnessed Lu Changsheng’s fighting prowess.

He knew that the other party was Yang Ming Immortal Master, who had resisted Nascent Soul cultivators with his Core Formation cultivation in earlier years, possessed a fourth-grade roc spirit beast, and had extraordinary combat power.

And had the record of slaying Nascent Soul cultivators.

However, upon hearing that his arch-enemy, “Nether Fiend True Lord,” had been slain by the other party, he still couldn’t help but be surprised and shocked.

“I’m going to Great Dream Immortal City!”

Sword Saint Monarch did not ask any more questions and said in a deep voice.

Previously, their Heaven Sword Sect invited Yangming True Lord to assist in the Liang Yue War, but he declined, citing matters in the Star Constellation Sea.

Now, he turned around and went to Jin Country to flatten the Yinming Ghost Sect?

What does this mean?

No time to support the Liang Yue War, but free to go to Jin Country?

However, it was meaningless to dwell on such matters now.

Facing such an important matter, he, a Nascent Soul True Lord, must personally go to Great Dream Immortal City and ask the other party what his intentions were!

After all, the two families already lacked trust.

Now that Great Dream Immortal City had done such a thing, how could their Heaven Sword Sect feel at ease?

Especially Xuanjian Zhenjun, his Senior Brother, who was stationed on the front line, had already sent news that they might be defeated and asked him to prepare.

If chaos were to break out in Jiang Country at this time, the entire rear would collapse.

The Heaven Sword Sect Master was surprised.

He didn’t expect his True Lord to go directly to Great Dream Immortal City to confirm the authenticity.

This indicated that Sword Saint Monarch believed the news was highly likely to be true.

“Yes, True Lord!”

The Heaven Sword Sect Master immediately responded respectfully.

Sword Saint Monarch did not delay, transforming into a streak of sword light, tearing through the Void Realm, and disappearing from the Heaven Sword Sect.

Bihu Mountain.

Xumi Grotto-heaven, Chang Sheng Hall.

Lu Changsheng held a Talisman brush, outlining and drawing a fourth-grade Talisman.

Relying on his Taiyi Divine Soul, top-tier Talisman Dao Spirit Body, and the Talisman Dao Legacy of the Nine-Nine Mysterious Talisman Scripture, Lu Changsheng’s Talisman Dao level had progressed remarkably fast.

Although he couldn’t multi-task as easily as in earlier years, effortlessly drawing second-grade and third-grade Talismans.

But as long as he calmed down, concentrated, and then burned his essence blood to enter a state, he could also increase his Talisman success rate to ninety percent.

Such a Talisman success rate was astonishing, enough to challenge a fourth-grade Middle-Grade Talisman Master.

However, Lu Changsheng’s energy was limited now, and he planned to first complete the necessary fourth-grade Low Grade Talismans before attempting fourth-grade Middle Stage Talismans.

After all, fourth-grade Middle Stage Talismans were not only much more difficult.

The requirements for Talisman paper, Talisman ink, and Talisman brush were also a level higher.

Just then, the Sun Moon Two-Phases Profound Light Mirror suspended above Chang Sheng Hall suddenly trembled slightly.

After Lu Changsheng finished drawing the Talisman in his hand, A Wu immediately told him that Honglian had sent a message.

“Sword Saint Monarch is visiting?”

Upon hearing the news, Lu Changsheng instantly knew that the other party must have received the message sent by Honglian.

He thought to himself that the Heaven Sword Sect’s message transmission was indeed efficient.

It seemed that these major powers had many ways to transmit messages quickly.

He stretched, walked out of the Talisman room, briefly explained to his wife Lu Miaoge, then summoned the Mi Chen Banner and headed to Great Dream Immortal City.

“Buzz!”

A ripple of spatial fluctuations.

With a dizzying sensation, a few breaths later, Lu Changsheng appeared in Great Dream Immortal City.

Now that he had broken through to Nascent Soul, he could travel to and from the Immortal City via the Mi Chen Banner by only consuming his own magical power, without needing to burn Spirit Stones as in earlier years, which was very convenient.

“Honglian.”

His Divine Sense extended, but he did not sense his wife Honglian’s aura, which surprised Lu Changsheng a little.

Ling Zixiao, holding the Immortal City Formation Plate, sensed Lu Changsheng’s arrival and immediately told him that Sword Saint Monarch did not come to the City Lord’s Mansion.

Instead, he chose to meet and converse at the Yunmeng Tavern in the Immortal City.

Senior Honglian was currently at the Yunmeng Tavern.

“Heh.”

Lu Changsheng smiled inwardly upon hearing this, knowing that Sword Saint Monarch did not trust him.

He was worried that Lu Changsheng would attack him.

But this was normal.

He had already displayed the strength to kill a Nascent Soul cultivator, so how could the other party dare to easily enter the City Lord’s Mansion?

To even dare to enter Great Dream Immortal City already showed great courage.

“Zixiao, I’ll go over first.”

Lu Changsheng did not converse too much with his wife, calming the magical power fluctuations from activating the Mi Chen Banner.

Then, he circulated his Physical Body Divine Ability, Seamless Heavenly Robe, concealing his entire aura, and headed to the Yunmeng Tavern.

“Husband.”

“City Lord Wang.”

Upon seeing Lu Changsheng, clad in a profound robe and great cloak, approach, Honglian and Sword Saint Monarch immediately called out.

“Fellow Daoist Sword Saint has arrived, I apologize for not welcoming you sooner.”

Lu Changsheng smiled, cupped his hands towards Sword Saint Monarch, and acted very courteously.

After all, the Liang Yue War was currently intense, and the Heaven Sword Sect was still needed to hold the line.

After taking their seats, Lu Changsheng asked Sword Saint Monarch about the purpose of his visit, asking if it was for the matter of the Yinming Ghost Sect.

“That’s right.”

Sword Saint Monarch nodded, wanting to know the truth of the matter from Lu Changsheng’s mouth and inquire about the purpose of this action.

“This matter is not as complicated as Fellow Daoist imagines.”

Lu Changsheng chuckled lightly, explaining unhurriedly: “Fellow Daoist must know that there is a grudge between this one and the Yinming Ghost Sect, Nether Fiend True Lord.”

“Previously, this one went to the Heaven Sword Sect to borrow a Nascent Soul secret treasure from Fellow Daoist, so I thought of taking this opportunity to resolve this grudge and see if there could be any gains.”

“As for the Heavenly Corpse Sect and Five Poison Sect, it was out of consideration for the stability of Jin Country.”

Lu Changsheng’s tone was sincere and his attitude friendly, stating that his alliance with the Heavenly Corpse Sect and Five Poison Sect was purely for the stability of Jin Country and Jiang Country.

Otherwise, once the Yinming Ghost Sect was destroyed, Jin Country would inevitably fall into chaos, possibly attracting the covetous eyes of other forces, which would then affect Jiang Country.

Sword Saint Monarch naturally did not believe Lu Changsheng’s words.

But the other party had already shown absolute strength; as long as the verbal explanation was plausible, it was impossible to delve deeper.

“City Lord Wang, my visit here, besides inquiring about the Yinming Ghost Sect, is also for the alliance matter we discussed previously.”

Sword Saint Monarch did not dwell too much on the Yinming Ghost Sect matter; after a rough explanation, he changed the subject and got to the point.

“My Senior Brother’s meaning is very simple. The alliance is certainly feasible, but Fellow Daoist needs to show some sincerity.”

“For example, the Liang Yue War can serve as the first step for our two families to work together.”

Sword Saint Monarch’s eyes were sharp, and his words were sincere, wanting to use the alliance matter to invite Lu Changsheng to assist in the Liang Yue War.

Only if he stood with Jiang Country and Yue Country to jointly resist Liang Country and Yuan Country would his Heaven Sword Sect be willing to let down its guard and trust him.

Otherwise, if Lu Changsheng was always verbally friendly but unwilling to take practical action and offer assistance, who knew what intentions he harbored, or if he secretly harbored malicious intent.

Not to mention anything else, just in the Liang Yue War, many Family forces had opportunistically betrayed them, causing heavy casualties to Yue Country.

“My Heaven Sword Sect has always kept its word. Once our two families form an alliance, not only during the great tribulation crisis, but also regarding the Star Constellation Sea and the former Han Sha Illusion Domain, my Heaven Sword Sect can also offer assistance.”

Sword Saint Monarch continued, actively showing sincerity and the benefits of the alliance to Lu Changsheng.

Although the combat power Lu Changsheng displayed now was astonishing, surpassing many veteran Nascent Soul cultivators.

However, the alliance matter was proposed by Lu Changsheng himself.

Since the other party made such a request, it indicated a need for allies, and that he could not cope with the crisis alone.

“Good fellow.”

Lu Changsheng felt that the Heaven Sword Sect was now directly laying out their cards, wanting to quickly tie him to the large ship of Jiang and Yue.

Only if he went to the front line and contributed to the war would the two families be considered on the same side.

Lu Changsheng didn’t mind this kind of thing.

However, the matter of the Star Constellation Sea hung over his head like a Sword of Damocles.

He was unsure how long it would take to go to the Yue Country front line.

Moreover, once the news of Yang Ming Immortal Master reappearing spread, it might also attract some unnecessary trouble.

Lu Changsheng was naturally not afraid of such trouble.

But when it was combined with the Star Constellation Sea matter, it became a bit of a headache.

“The matter of the Star Constellation Sea is not an excuse.”

Lu Changsheng pondered for a moment, took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and said: “One year, if there are no accidents, at most one year, this one can go to the Liang Yue War for a while.”

“This battle, regardless of how much effort is exerted, can at least help ambush a Nascent Soul cultivator and alleviate the pressure of the war!”

In at most half a year, he would be able to gather the Talismans needed for the fourth-grade Symbol Array.

Then, he would go to the Star Constellation Sea and Overturning Sea Sect to see if there was an opportunity.

If there was an opportunity to resolve Old Ancestor Zhenhai, that would naturally be best, killing two birds with one stone.

If there was no opportunity, Lu Changsheng would consider temporarily going to Yue Country for a short while, making a move to alleviate the pressure.

As long as the Heaven Sword Sect and Yue Country could lure out the Nascent Soul cultivators of Liang Country and Yuan Country, he was confident he could slay them!

However, after several previous interactions, Sword Saint Monarch instinctively doubted Lu Changsheng’s words.

He felt that he was making excuses again.

However, he naturally couldn’t say such words directly, and after pondering for a moment, he said: “Fellow Daoist’s Divine Ability is extraordinary. If you can contribute and support the front line, I believe it can greatly alleviate the pressure, and even turn the tide of this war.”

“But the war situation changes rapidly. Fellow Daoist also knows the current situation of Liang Country and Yue Country. If it drags on, I’m afraid there will be further changes and it will be difficult to control.”

Since Lu Changsheng kept making excuses, Sword Saint Monarch no longer cared about his face as he did before.

“…”

Lu Changsheng understood that Sword Saint Monarch’s visit this time was to get him to take a stance.

Either contribute to the Liang Yue War and become an ally with the Heaven Sword Sect.

Or, without tearing off the pretense, he probably wouldn’t allow a Nascent Soul-level force like his to remain safely in the rear as it was now.

“Husband, why don’t I go for a trip?”

Honglian, who was beside him, saw that Sword Saint Monarch was not in a hurry for Lu Changsheng to rush to the battlefield to support Yue Country.

Instead, he wanted an attitude from him.

Whether he was truly sincere about standing with Jiang Country to resist Liang Country and Yuan Country.

“Fellow Daoist Sword Saint, please allow my wife and I to discuss this.”

Lu Changsheng did not immediately give an answer, his expression calm.

“Naturally, I will stay in Great Dream Immortal City for a few days and await Fellow Daoist’s reply.”

Sword Saint Monarch nodded.

“…”

Looking at Sword Saint Monarch’s stern and imposing face, Lu Changsheng felt that this Sword Cultivator True Lord was not as rigid and inflexible as rumored.

But on second thought, if his character were too rigid, he would hardly have reached this stage.

“Good.”

Lu Changsheng nodded in response, then asked: “By the way, Fellow Daoist Sword Saint, do you know about the Heaven and Earth Longevity Method Cultivation Technique?”

Previously, when his wife Lu Miaohuan broke through to Core Formation, a problem was discovered.

Cultivating the Heaven and Earth Longevity Method, once one broke through to Core Formation, one could devour the Dao Foundation Seeds of other Cultivators who cultivated this Cultivation Technique!

As the overlord of Jiang Country, the Heaven Sword Sect had a long history and profound heritage, so there might be relevant information recorded about this Cultivation Technique.

“Heaven and Earth Longevity Method?”

Sword Saint Monarch was puzzled, not knowing why Lu Changsheng suddenly inquired about this Cultivation Technique.

Did he plan to help someone around him Cultivate this Cultivation Technique?

“For certain reasons, this one wants to understand this Cultivation Technique. I wonder if your sect has any relevant information about this Cultivation Technique?” Lu Changsheng explained.

“I don’t know much about this Cultivation Technique.”

Sword Saint Monarch knew about this Cultivation Technique from several hundred years ago, when an Elder of the Heaven Sword Sect helped his descendant Cultivate it.

It was just that this Cultivation Technique seemed to have general requirements, but in reality, it was extremely stringent.

It was almost impossible to break through to Core Formation or Nascent Soul relying on this Cultivation Technique.

Once there was no one to assist, Core Formation would be the limit, with no hope of Nascent Soul.

“Does this Cultivation Technique have any hidden dangers?”

Lu Changsheng continued to inquire, without mentioning the strange characteristic of the Cultivation Technique’s devouring ability.

It was conceivable that those who broke through to Core Formation through the Heaven and Earth Longevity Method would certainly guard this secret tightly, unwilling to show too much difference.

“Hidden dangers?” Sword Saint Monarch frowned, not knowing of any hidden dangers in this Cultivation Technique.

After a moment of thought, he seemed to have remembered something and replied: “This Cultivation Technique is not only circulated in Jiang Country, but also in other immortal cultivation countries.”

“I once heard a rumor that Cultivators who practiced the Heaven and Earth Longevity Method mysteriously disappeared.”

Mysteriously disappeared!

Lu Changsheng’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Previously, upon learning that the Heaven and Earth Longevity Method could devour the Dao Foundation Seeds of other Cultivators, Lu Changsheng had a guess.

He suspected that someone deliberately spread this Cultivation Technique and then harvested its practitioners.

Now, hearing Sword Saint Monarch’s words, Lu Changsheng immediately felt that it was almost certainly true.

“Regarding the specific information about this Cultivation Technique, I don’t know much and what I know is limited. If City Lord Wang is interested, when I return to the Heaven Sword Sect, I will have someone collect relevant information.”

Sword Saint Monarch said immediately when he saw Lu Changsheng’s interest.

As long as Lu Changsheng was willing to contribute to the alliance, he didn’t mind doing a few more favors.

“Then I will trouble Fellow Daoist Sword Saint.” Lu Changsheng cupped his hands in thanks.
