I Am Evergreen In the World of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 429: Heaven’s help, war decision (Dragon Boat Festival holiday)

 According to Lu Changan’s original plan.

 If True Lord Aoki does not come to the door within a period of time, he will take the initiative and go to the central region.

Facts have proved that Lord Aoki is still relatively confident and came to Daqing East Region again.

According to Changqing Daoguo's induction, Aoki Zhenjun is currently stuck around the Seven Nations Alliance and has not been close to the Wei Dao Alliance for the time being.

 The situation in the Seven Nations Alliance is not good.

With the overt or covert support of the Mingquan Sect, the Seven Nations Alliance was defeated one after another in the Demonic War.

　Including the losses in past wars, three countries of the Seven Nations Alliance have been captured by the Blood Spirit Gate and the Phantom Palace.

One of the Blood Spirit Gate or the Phantom Demon Palace is not as powerful as the Beast King Valley, but the two together are much stronger.

 Lu Changan ended his practice for the day.

“Master, this is the latest information from the Chief Helmsman of the Wealth Alliance.”

 Outside the secret room, Diyanjun handed the selected important tokens to Lu Changan.

Lu Changan received an encrypted jade slip, broke through the restrictions, and obtained information about the general helmsman of the Guardian Alliance.

“After the Seven-Nation Alliance reduced its defense line, the situation slowed down slightly and was barely stable.”

“In addition, Lord Aoki showed up openly in the Seven Nations Alliance and seriously injured a demon Yuanying, which also played a certain role.”

 After reading the information, Lu Changan's eyes flickered and his face was full of thought.

 It cannot be said that the timing of Mr. Aoki's appearance was very clever.

Uncertain rumors say that he may have been invited for help by the Seven Nations Alliance, or may have the tacit support of the Ten Xuanmen Sects.

Shenjun Aoki is not directly affiliated with one of the ten Xuanmen sects, but comes from an orthodox sect on the periphery of the camp.

 Furthermore, he joined the Yuanying Sect, which was declining at that time, midway.

 This situation is somewhat similar to Lu Changan’s.

 The difference is that Lord Aoki stayed in the sect for a longer period of time and practiced in the Central Region for a long time.

Due to this status, True Lord Aoki appeared in the Eastern Region, which affected the war situation and made it difficult for the Six Demonic Sects to question the Ten Xuanmen Sects.

Shenjun Aoki is not a direct descendant of the Ten Sects of Xuanmen, and when he came to the Eastern Region to "travel" more than a hundred years ago, it was the Demonic Nascent Soul who took action against him first, thus forging a grudge.

Based on intelligence analysis alone, it seems that Aoki's main goal is not for Lu Changan.

 But his intuition told him that Aoki's real goal was himself, and his superficial actions were just in line with the general trend.

 …

 Seven days later.

 No one noticed that True Lord Evergreen disappeared and entered Feng Yuan Kingdom, a desert of endless flying sand.

 No one even knows.

On the Holy Land of Snow Mountain, two fourth-level divination masters met secretly and formally reached an alliance.

Of course, limited to the aspect of divination, it is impossible for Zhong Tianshi to leave Feng Yuan Kingdom and personally participate in external affairs.

 “I owe this old fox another favor.”

Lu Changan smiled and returned to Liang Kingdom quite satisfied.

 The destiny of heaven is invisible and has no quality, and can help each other across space.

 From now on, even if Lu Changan is in the Wei Dao League, he will still be able to get secret help from the Heavenly Master.

 This agreement is mainly aimed at Aoki Shin-kun.

 Personal goals have less resistance.

If the entire demonic war involves too many areas and has many causes and effects, Master Zhong Tianshi does not want to suffer too much fate, so he can only provide a little assistance.

 With the invisible help of the Heavenly Master, Lu Changan took the initiative and advanced and retreated freely.

As long as True Lord Aoki does not have the magical combat power of the Yuanying Great Monk, it will be difficult to truly threaten him.

 …

 Not long after returning to Liang State.

The chief helmsman of the Wei Dao Alliance held an important meeting and invited the Nascent Soul Lord from all major forces.

Zhenjun Tianfeng patrols and guards the front lines.

Lu Changan has a transcendent status and participates on behalf of Jinyun Valley.

Wei Dao League, the chief helmsman of Shancheng.

Lu Changan and Xia Xianzi appeared side by side, like a couple of gods and immortals.

 Over the years, as a new Nascent Soul, Xia Wenyue mainly practiced magic and magical powers and did not participate in frontline guarding.

 The two of them meet every month to discuss Taoism, mostly at the Proud Moon Palace or at the helm of the Wei Tao Alliance.

 Therefore, when we met, there was not much longing, but more plain warmth.

 The main rudder hall.

Alliance leader Chu was sitting at the top, and the same familiar faces were present.

Xia Wenyue is the only new face and represents Aoyue Palace. His master Jin Yue Zhenjun is also guarding the front line.

"According to reliable information, on the demonic battlefield over at the Seven Nations Alliance, although the Nascent Soul monks on the Beast King's side were not dispatched, they were borrowed to support a group of spiritual birds and beasts with special abilities, including the fourth-level Beast King who was attacking from both sides. The impact is not small.”

“It is precisely because of this that the situation in the Seven-Nation Alliance collapsed so quickly.”

Chu Tianfeng’s tone was heavy, with a sense of self-blame.

 Lu Changan nodded and said with shame:

"It seems that our previous actions in preparing for the confrontation were too conservative and did not put enough pressure on the Valley of the Beast King. The Seven Nations Alliance did not ask for our support, and even tried to hold us back in the Valley of the Beast King but failed."

Hearing the answers from Chu Tianfeng and Lu Changan, the Nascent Soul representatives present were slightly stunned.

 Today, the number one and two figures in the Weideo League are all militants.

Xia Xianzi, the newly promoted Nascent Soul, was also supported by Lu Changan.

 It can be said that the main militant faction has the absolute upper hand.

“Alliance Leader Chu, does Lu Zhenjun mean to take the initiative to provoke a war with the Beast King Valley?”

As the leader of the Zhuhe faction, True Lord Liuyang frowned slightly and asked.

“After sixty or seventy years of truce between our Alliance of Defenders and the Beast King Valley, due to unequal trade agreements and gaps in heritage, the disparity in strength between the middle and lower classes on both sides has widened.”

“If we continue to be sucked by trade and wait for decades for the Seven Nations to be completely defeated, the internal people will become disorganized and lose their fighting spirit. I am afraid that they will not even have a chance to fight.”

Chu Tianfeng’s sharp gaze swept across the monks present:

“In the current situation, apart from relying on the Valley of the Beast King, the only option is to fight.”

“Our Dao Defending Alliance now has the strength of three Nascent Souls, Lord Lu Zhen, Lord Diyan, and Fairy Xia. The top level is unprecedentedly strong, and the gap with the Beast King Valley is not as big as before.”

 After listening to the statement of Alliance Leader Chu, the Yuanying monks in the hall thought silently.

  If you want to choose a battle, now is indeed the best opportunity.

Zhenjun Liuyang's face was solemn, his expression changed, and he felt that the main force and the faction were weak and unprecedentedly powerless.

Especially after Xia Xianzi was promoted to Nascent Soul and restrained Jin Yue Zhenjun in Aoyue Palace.

  "Do we have to fight to the death? There is no temporary compromise plan."

The True Lord Liuyang said in a low tone, unwillingly.

"have."

Lu Changan smiled slightly and said, "If fellow Daoist Liuyang can break through the demonic blockade, support the Seven Nations Alliance, stabilize the situation there, and even gain an advantage, we are not in a hurry to fight."

Hearing this, True Lord Liuyang was secretly angry, but remained silent.

This plan is indeed feasible, but the risk is extremely high. Even if the Yuanying monk takes action personally, his life will be in danger.

The Guardian Alliance currently obtains intelligence from the Seven Nations Alliance, and many scout elites are killed every year. They are blocked by the Beast King Valley and the Wujian Gate, and even face the siege of the Blood Spirit Gate and the Phantom Palace on the other side.

 …

 Actually, Lu Changan is very confident that he can do this.

With the help of the [Black Wind Cloak], he was confident of crossing the siege of the magic path and making a surprise attack to support the Seven Nations Alliance battlefield.

However, if the distance is too close, even if you deliberately suppress your energy and do not use magic power, you may still be sensed by Aoki Zhenjun, a fellow practitioner of the "Evergreen Technique".

 Aoki Shin-kun has many connections in the Seven Nations Alliance and has a high status.

If you meet Aoki Shin-Kun there and have a geographical advantage, you might be able to find helpers.

 On the other hand, Lu Changan has local advantages in the Wei Dao League and has more reinforcements from his allies.

“Actually, Lu is also a monk who pursues peace.”

Lu Changan’s tone was soothing and his smile was gentle.

"But many times, the best choice for the stop of war is the first battle." "As long as we are not defeated, even if we are barely in a moment, you can let the beast King Valley vote for taboos. Better conditions?”

“Fellow Daoist Liuyang, you might as well think about it, if we can rely on the Beast King Valley so easily, how good the treatment will be in the future?”

 Speaking of this.

Zhenjun Liuyang smiled bitterly and sighed, finally choosing to compromise and could only obey the will of the main war faction.

If the war situation is still acceptable, it will actually be beneficial to a rational peace seeker like him.

On the same day, the top leaders of the Guardian Alliance reached a preliminary intention and decided to restart the Demonic War, completely holding back the Valley of the Beast King, and sharing the pressure for the Seven Nations Alliance.

 As for Jin Yue Zhenjun who did not attend the meeting, her personal opinion is no longer important.

Xia Xianzi, on behalf of Aoyue Palace, agreed to the main battle plan.

 …

 After the meeting.

Chu Tianfeng left Lu Changan alone to speak.

Lu Changan influences the combat power of many Nascent Souls and is the second most prominent figure in the Wei Dao League. Leader Chu has to discuss many decisions with him.

“At this point in time, Alliance Leader Chu chooses to restart the Demonic War, but what are the suggestions of the ten Xuanmen sects?”

 Lu Changan directly tested the road.

According to the calculations he and Tianshi made, the past ten years are the best time for the Wei Dao Alliance to fight hard, and it may also be the last chance.

“Well, the big boss behind the Ten Sects of Xuanmen secretly supports the Wei Dao Alliance. In addition to intelligence and divination, he also promised to provide strategic materials for the Beast King Valley.”

Chu Tianfeng did not hide anything and revealed some secrets to Lu Changan.

Without the secret support of the ten Xuanmen sects, even if Chu Tian Feng Xiong had a great strategy, it would be difficult for him to lead the Wei Dao League to persist for so long.

 The stronger Seven-Nation Alliance may receive more support.

 The arrival of Lord Aoki at this point was probably facilitated by the Ten Sects of Xuanmen.

Through Chu Tianfeng, Lu Changan learned about the attitude of the top leaders of the ten Xuanmen sects.

Although the Ten Xuanmen Sects are the largest force in Daqing and are stronger than the Six Demonic Sects, they are not united internally and have serious internal conflicts.

At present, the internal fighting among the ten sects of Xuanmen has not ceased, and opinions are not highly unified.

 The Central Region is relatively more prosperous and rich in products, allowing many major sects of the ten Xuanmen sects to settle for the status quo. After driving away the six demonic sects, there is no longer any unifying fighting spirit.

 Due to the distribution of interests and grievances from generation to generation, some Taoist sects even started fighting among themselves.

Hence, the actual support brought by the ten sects of Xuanmen is actually limited, and they will basically not send powerful Nascent Souls to directly participate in the battle.

The reason why Xuanmen leader "Lingyu Zhenjun" was interested was because his hometown was in the Jing Kingdom of the Wei Dao Alliance.

If the situation collapses and the Jing Kingdom ends up attached to the Beast King Valley, Zhenjun Lingyu will have no reasonable excuse to intervene.

 …

“If the war starts again, can Lord Lu Zhenjun and Lord Diyan join forces to contain a middle-stage Nascent Soul in the Beast King Valley?”

Chu Tianfeng spoke solemnly and asked the question he was most concerned about.

“If he were to simply block a mid-stage Nascent Soul, Lu would be 50% to 60% sure.”

Lu Changan said without thinking.

Chu Tianfeng was slightly startled: He didn't even say which middle Nascent Soul Master Lu Changan was asked to contain.

 In the Six Sects of the Demonic Way, there is a certain gap in strength between the leaders of the Demonic Sect and other mid-stage Nascent Soul sects.

For example, the great elder of the Beast King Valley has much stronger magical power than the sect leader who is also in the middle stage.

This does not include the natal silkworm of the Great Elder of the Beast King Valley, which can be resurrected with full health almost once at a critical moment.

 For Lu Changan, neither of the two middle-stage Nascent Soul giants in the Beast King Valley actually poses a real threat, and there is not much difference between them.

Since it is a beast-controlling sect, the main advantage of both the Beast King Sect Master and the Great Elder is that they have more ways to control beasts, such as fourth-level spiritual pets.

 This advantage will be greatly reduced for Lu Changan who is good at positional warfare.

In the past few years since he returned to Daqing, he has been gathering information and doing his best to make predictions.

The two mid-stage Nascent Souls in Beast King Valley are not at the top of their level in terms of offensive strength.

 At least, it is not as good as Yuhuang who is luxuriously equipped and owns the [Green Dragon Sword].

Unlike the old monster Jin Kun, the metal magic weapon has certain restraint on Lu Changan.

 In this way, Lu Changan has no pressure on anyone he faces.

What's more, in the years since he returned to Daqing, his magical power has greatly increased, and is more than one or two better than when Dayuan became famous as the "Double Dragon of the Central Region".

"That's good."

Chu Tianfeng smiled and felt relieved.

Lu Changan is not even afraid of the Great Elder of Beast King Valley, and his strength will only be stronger than he expected.

 …

 It was night, and Lu Changan stayed overnight at the elder's residence of the chief helmsman of the Wei Dao League.

 Xia Xianzi accompanied him and served him.

 Given their status, the relationship between the two is legitimate and there is no need to avoid any taboos.

 A few hours later.

 After some tenderness, the fragrance in the bedroom is fragrant.

Lu Changan lay lazily on the bed, caressing Fairy Xia's beautiful jade-like back under her waist with his palms, and heard a quiet and melodious voice in his ear:

“Once the demonic war begins, the future situation will be unpredictable. Has my husband ever considered a way out, such as leaving a blood heir?”

Hearing this, Lu Changan’s head moved. When Xia Xianzi mentioned a blood heir, did she really intend to keep him as a heir, or was she hinting at the identity of his head wife?

"Wen Yue should know that my husband is scattered all over the place and has offended too many enemies. For example, the Valley of the Beast King, Wujianmen, and True Lord Aoki."

"The world of cultivating immortals is changing. Even if we, as the True Lord of Nascent Soul, call the wind and rain, we can't help ourselves in the face of the catastrophic situation in the world of cultivating immortals. If we are not careful, we will fall into the clouds at any time. Only by becoming a great cultivator of Nascent Soul, can we He can dominate a state in the world of immortality. If he doesn’t reach this level of invincibility, how can Lu dare to actually marry a wife and have children?”

Lu Changan sighed and expressed his difficulties.

If these words were heard by ordinary monks, they would probably sneer at them.

However, Xia Wenyue is also in the Nascent Soul stage and is facing the general trend of the demonic war, so she feels the same way.

She secretly thought that the husband did not give her the status of his wife and did not want to leave any children because he was worried that his wife and children would be targeted in the demonic war.

If it was just a concubine, or a Yuanying monk, it would not be of much significance to target her.

“Lu Lang has great ambitions, and I believe I can wait until that day.”

Xia Xianzi’s cold and snowy face showed a rare smile and spoke words of encouragement.

Lu Changan opened his mouth. This woman wouldn't believe it, would she?

Xia Wenyue's innate Taoist body is suitable for dual cultivation. She has benefited greatly from the "Dragon and Phoenix Double Cauldron Method" and her cultivation progress is faster than that of her master.

This is also because Lu Changan is relatively equal and does not completely treat her as a deputy, and has many Evergreen Skills to reward her.

Xia Wenyue is therefore somewhat confident that if she can survive the demonic war and gain some opportunities in the future, she may not have no hope of reaching the middle Nascent Soul stage.

She has a certain hope of reaching the middle stage of Nascent Soul, and is even more powerful than her. Her husband, who is blessed with good luck, will naturally have a chance of becoming a great monk of Nascent Soul.

Lu Changan secretly sighed and misjudged Fairy Xia's admiration for him since she was a girl.

 …

 Half a month later, the Weideo Alliance once again entered into full preparations for war, and the atmosphere was tense.

However, the middle and lower-class monks of the Weidao League have become accustomed to it after years of "hardening".

 The war is about to begin, and surprisingly few monks will run away before the battle.

As the number two figure in the Wei Dao League, Lu Changan went to the front line for the first time to patrol and sit in command.

The Wei Dao Alliance mobilized more high-level monks, which naturally alerted the Beast King Valley and responded in kind.

Not long after Lu Changan arrived at the front line, a Nascent Soul-level black wind escaping light flew from the territory controlled by Beast King Valley, like a domineering magic flame meteor.

  The newly added Demon Lord is a young man wearing a black feather robe and a stern face.

“Huh? This gentleman has rebuilt his Dharmakaya and has returned to the level of Nascent Soul cultivation?”

Lu Changan narrowed his eyes and raised a smile at the corner of his mouth.

 He personally came to the front line of the battlefield this time to cause trouble and deliberately provoke a war.

The Defendant Alliance's foundation is much worse than that of the Valley of the Beast King. If they take the initiative, their chances of winning are very low.

 Defensive warfare is different. Wedao League has rich experience and is particularly good at it.

Hence, the strategy of Lu Changan and the Chu Alliance Leader was to cause trouble and drag the Beast King Valley into trouble, forcing them to attack.
