    ## Chapter 390: Swallowing the Serpent King, Undercurrents Surge

    The border zone between the two sects.

    The enemy Nascent Soul cultivator retreated in a sorry state. Jiang Ziyan, while surprised, couldn’t help but feel a slight sense of relief:

    “Da Long, are you alright?”

    “No major injuries. I just expended a lot of energy using the divine ability and forbidden technique.”

    Lu Chang’an’s face was slightly pale, and his breathing was heavy. He appeared to be quite exhausted, as if he had been through a hard battle.

    “Da Long, you just entered the Nascent Soul stage, yet you forced the Crimson Serpent True Monarch to suffer a humiliating defeat. It’s enough to make people look at you with new respect.”

    The Purple Cloud Fairy’s eyes sparkled with excitement, her smile laced with surprise.

    She and the Pagoda Scattered Man arrived later, and they didn’t have time to participate in the battle.

    “It’s just a bit of luck. The Crimson Serpent True Monarch was caught off guard, and his poison techniques were also countered by the puppets.”

    Lu Chang’an said modestly.

    The previous fight mainly involved consuming his essence and blood to use the *Ku Mie Shen Guang* (枯灭神光 – Extinguishing Light Divine Ability). Because he hit his target accurately, the effect was surprisingly good.

    “Zi Yan, wait a moment. Let me retrieve the illusion array and the puppet formation.”

    Lu Chang’an flashed into the fourth-order illusion array.

    Inside the illusion array, Master Wei had already cleaned the battlefield and eliminated the bloody stench.

    The massive body of the Crimson Shadow Serpent King was compressed and packaged by spells.

    A fourth-order serpent king with a heaven-grade bloodline was comparable to a dragon, a treasure trove. Important parts and components could be used as materials for fourth-order puppets and talismans.

    Adding the fourth-order demon king’s Essence Spirit Pill, this foray yielded a rich reward. He had also completed his revenge and retribution.

    Swish!

    Lu Chang’an waved his hand, collecting the Green Armor Puppet and the serpent king’s corpse.

    He didn’t immediately collect the illusion array and the puppet formation, but instead took out the sealed Essence Spirit Pill of the serpent king.

    “The Essence Spirit Pill of a fourth-order demon king is at the same level of cultivation as a human cultivator’s Nascent Soul spirit. I wonder if it can be used as nourishment for the *Jiu Yin Bei* (九印碑 – Nine Seal Monument)?”

    Lu Chang’an took out a jade box, removed the outer seal, and confirmed that the serpent king’s consciousness within the pill was still sealed by the soul secret technique.

    The pre-fourth-order, body-tempering big hand, imbued with spiritual energy, grasped the Essence Spirit Pill. With physical contact, it actively sensed the *Jiu Yin Bei*.

    Buzz!

    The dark ancient monument deep within his consciousness emitted a hazy white light. It flowed through his consciousness and body, wrapping up the demon king’s essence within the Essence Spirit Pill.

    The weak and confused consciousness of the Crimson Shadow Serpent King, instinctively trembled with fear, let out a roar, and along with its essence, was sucked into the Nine Seal Monument.

    Within the fifth frame of the Nine Seal Monument, the serpent king’s essence was shredded into particles.

    A stream of pure, bright, crystalline white light was born, illuminating half of the fifth frame of the Nine Seal Monument, which had been shrouded in gloom.

    “It can absorb it! But the effect isn’t as good as human Nascent Soul spirits, and it’s even worse than extraterrestrial demons.”

    Lu Chang’an could accept this outcome. After all, he had gained another path.

    The nourishment absorbed by the *Jiu Yin Bei* primarily focused on a kind of primordial power that caused the soul to undergo qualitative changes.

    The Hundred Nights Soul Gu (百宿魂蛊) sub-gu from back then were of a lower realm, but they could be used as nourishment because they were more compatible with the Nine Seal Monument.

    When a demon beast ascended to the fourth stage and transformed into a human-like form, their heart demon tribulation was weaker. The Essence Spirit Pill they condensed differed somewhat from a human Nascent Soul.

    Demon creatures and strange beasts had physical bodies comparable to magical artifacts. Their talents and divine abilities stemmed from bloodline inheritance. With such advantages, their soul transformation at the fourth stage was naturally weaker than that of human Nascent Soul in terms of emphasis.

    Of course, if certain heaven-grade bloodlines or true spirit descendants with a focus on soul talent, their souls might surpass those of human Nascent Soul, but that was not necessarily the case.

    “Every little bit helps. The energy of reincarnation cultivated within the Nine Seal Monument will have various uses in the future if there is any surplus.”

    After opening the fourth frame, the Nine Seal Monument could not only independently open the reincarnation cycle, but also use the energy of reincarnation in other ways.

    The fifth frame corresponds to the Nascent Soul stage. The energy of reincarnation it contains is even more refined.

    The excess energy of reincarnation can be used to independently open three types of reincarnation cycles.

    For example, customized reincarnation rebirth can be used to enhance talent and fortune, choose better realms, origins, and so on.

    Another way to open reincarnation cycles is to transform a life of a different world’s cultivation into an experience of a dream for your own. During this process, the energy of reincarnation can be used to send dream messages, guide, teach, and help your “other self” in the dream grow faster.

    Furthermore, the basic use of reincarnation energy allows one to trace the past lives of cultivators, helping them awaken their past wisdom, etc.

    In short, the more reincarnation energy the Nine Seal Monument accumulates, the better.

    However, Lu Chang’an currently doesn’t have enough energy to even open the fifth frame, let alone use the surplus for anything else.

    Collecting the puppet formation and the fourth-order illusion array, Lu Chang’an appeared before Purple Cloud True Monarch.

    He was gone for less than ten breaths, which still aroused the Purple Cloud Fairy’s suspicion.

    Although the battlefield where the fourth-order illusion array was located had been cleaned, the traces of destruction and the aura of the fight couldn’t be completely concealed.

    “Da Long, did you fight with that fourth-order demon bird within this array, and then get ambushed by the Great Serpent Mountain?”

    The Purple Cloud Fairy’s pretty face was filled with murderous intent, her tone cold.

    “Well, the Great Serpent Mountain didn’t want me to become a fourth-order puppet master. But this time, the Great Serpent Mountain stumbled and fell into my trap.”

    Lu Chang’an pondered for a moment, and didn’t hide the death of the “Crimson Shadow Serpent King”.

    The Great Serpent Mountain wasn’t stupid. Lu Chang’an trapped and killed the serpent king within the fourth-order illusion array. Even if they hadn’t witnessed it personally, they couldn’t deny his involvement, no matter what.

    The Cloud Mist Sect, where Lu Chang’an belonged, was also entangled in this karma.

    Rather than concealing it, it was better to be upfront with the Purple Cloud True Monarch, so she could be mentally prepared for the unpredictable changes in the future.

    “Da Long actually planned and killed the Crimson Shadow Serpent King?”

    “That fourth-order demon bird was actually a pre-fourth-order avian puppet, and it had a certain level of restraint against the serpent king?”

    “Da Long, when did you become a pre-fourth-order puppet master?”

    The Purple Cloud Fairy, upon learning the truth, was greatly shocked. Although she was delighted, her surprise outweighed her joy.

    She couldn’t help but let out a bitter laugh and chided playfully, “Da Long, what else are you keeping from me? Can you just tell me everything at once?”

    “I’ve pretty much told you everything.”

    Lu Chang’an smiled and reassured her, “In the Grand Abyss cultivation world, Zi Yan is definitely the Daoist friend who knows the most secrets about me.”

    Revealing the pre-fourth-order puppet and the corresponding puppet skills to his allies wouldn’t hurt Lu Chang’an.

    Before returning to Grand Green, he had planned to help Jiang Ziyan build a pre-fourth-order puppet to avoid leaving the Cloud Mist Sect short of top-tier combat power after his departure.

    For Lu Chang’an, who had ascended to Nascent Soul, even the *Chang Qing Gong* wasn’t a secret. Only the Nine Seal Monument and the Xuan Mu Hu Luo (玄木葫藤 – Mysterious Wood Gourd Vine) were secrets that he could never reveal. They would attract deadly threats.

    “Humph! Pretty much?”

    The Purple Cloud Fairy’s beautiful eyes gave him a slight glare. She rarely displayed such a girlish manner, having been kept in the dark many times.

    She didn’t dwell on it or probe further. In the cultivation world, knowing too many secrets wasn’t necessarily a good thing.

    Regardless, the demise of the “Crimson Shadow Serpent King,” the Great Serpent Mountain’s strongest combat power, was good news for the Cloud Mist Sect.

    In this assassination plan, Lu Chang’an had used intelligence and divination to confirm that Jing Wu Feng had lured away the most threatening “冥水真君 – Ming Shui True Monarch,” and the Great Serpent Mountain couldn’t call for reinforcements.

    A single Nascent Soul mid-stage Ming Shui True Monarch wasn’t much of a threat to Lu Chang’an. However, if he were to team up with multiple Nascent Soul, it would be a different story.

    Lu Chang’an had killed the Great Serpent Mountain’s strongest combat power, effectively cutting off “Ming Shui True Monarch’s” wings in the middle region.

    Ming Shui True Monarch was backed by the Black Ze Sect, one of the sixteen great sects of the Sea-guarding Sect, and he knew many secrets of the Sea-listening Pavilion. He might even have guessed the existence of spatial rifts or teleportation channels.

    Such a formidable enemy and hidden threat needed to be treated with caution.

    Within the territory of the Great Serpent Mountain.

    “It’s impossible to trap and kill the Crimson Shadow Ancestor in such a short time, even with the addition of a Nascent Soul initial-stage accomplice. There’s something fishy about that fourth-order demon bird. It’s likely the spirit bird of a mysterious strong ally, acting as a key lure to draw out the snake.”

    The Crimson Serpent and the Crimson Refining True Monarchs looked displeased. The atmosphere was heavy.

    “That fourth-order spirit bird probably restrained the serpent king ancestor and needed the latter’s Essence Spirit Pill. Its owner colluded with the Cloud Mist Sect.”

    They had also considered whether that fourth-order demon bird belonged to Xiang Da Long, but the possibility was low.

    If they were to raise a fourth-order demon bird, the demand for heaven and earth spiritual energy would be enormous, including a large amount of beast food resources. It wouldn’t be possible to keep it a secret for so many years.

    As the Crimson Serpent True Monarch flew a certain distance, his light of escape faltered. His eyes were extremely gloomy.

    The *Serpent King Spirit Contract* allowed him to sense the complete demise of the Crimson Shadow Serpent King. The impending disaster he had been dreading finally came to pass.

    “Senior brother…”

    The Crimson Refining True Monarch also realized something, and his mood was heavy.

    “The Cloud Mist Sect lured and killed our Great Serpent Mountain’s sect-guarding sacred beast. We can’t let this go unpunished!”

    The Crimson Serpent True Monarch’s eyes were cold, and the serpent patterns on his face twitched. The withered blood hole on his abdomen, after being treated with healing medicinal herbs, wasn’t healing well.

    “Senior brother, Xiang Da Long’s divine abilities in combat are no less than yours. He also cultivated the *Ku Mie Shen Guang* (枯灭神光 – Extinguishing Light Divine Ability), a wood-type forbidden technique. Coupled with Earth Rock Jun (地岩君 – Earth Rock Jun) and the puppet formation, even if we team up, we won’t be able to defeat him.”

    The Crimson Refining True Monarch chuckled bitterly. The recent first-rank battle among peers had shattered his pride and confidence.

    He suggested, “To truly threaten Xiang Da Long, we need a Nascent Soul mid-stage giant to intervene. Let’s wait for Ming Shui True Monarch.”

    “Ming Shui True Monarch’s main target is Jing Tian True Monarch. He won’t be able to spare time in the short term. Besides, this woman is greedy and cunning. It’s risky to cooperate with her. We can’t rely on her too much.”

    Even though the Crimson Serpent True Monarch’s face was twisted in rage, his emotions remained calm:

    “There are plenty of people in the Grand Yu Kingdom who can threaten and suppress Xiang Da Long.”

    “Are you talking about the Grand Yu royal family?”

    The Crimson Refining True Monarch’s eyes flashed, quickly understanding his senior brother’s intentions.

    Although the Great Serpent Mountain was inferior in skill and had lost its Nascent Soul combat power, it could use the situation in the Grand Yu Kingdom to target the Cloud Mist Sect.

    “We can report this matter to the Grand Yu royal family and make a big fuss. At that time, we can exaggerate the threat posed by the Cloud Mist Sect, and even Xiang Da Long.”

    “The serpent king ancestor is dead. I, this True Monarch, was severely injured and lost ten years of lifespan. All of this is true. We’ll provide evidence, and with the royal family’s methods, they will definitely be able to confirm the culprit.”

    The Crimson Serpent True Monarch grinned, his laughter was chilling. However, the smile pulled on the withered blood hole on his abdomen, making him grunt in pain and sweat profusely.

    “This plan is good! No need for any troops or soldiers.”

    The Crimson Refining True Monarch praised.

    “To balance the ever-growing power of the Cloud Mist Sect, the royal family will be somewhat biased towards our Great Serpent Mountain. When we contact Ming Shui True Monarch in the future, we can put pressure from both inside and outside, ensuring that Chang Qing True Monarch and the Cloud Mist Sect will not have a smooth time.”

    The two True Monarchs’ scheming and discussions didn’t exclude the Pagoda Scattered Man.

    Because this was a blatant scheme.

    The Grand Yu royal family wouldn’t allow a cultivation force within their territory to become too powerful and beyond their control.

    Upon returning to the Cloud Mist Sect, Lu Chang’an entered another phase of closed cultivation.

    The Purple Cloud Fairy guessed what he was likely doing and didn’t disturb him.

    Cloud Mist Peak, a secluded chamber within a cave.

    Lu Chang’an, Master Wei, and Earth Rock Jun were together dealing with the massive corpse of the fourth-order serpent king.

    “The serpent king’s fangs, skin, bones… can all be used as puppet materials. The material of my body can be partially improved and strengthened.”

    The Green Armor Puppet controlled by Master Wei nodded in agreement and discussed with Lu Chang’an how to deal with the serpent king’s components.

    “Can we use them to enhance the Spirit Bird Peacock Puppet?”

    Lu Chang’an asked with a hint of anticipation.

    “We can only use a little bit.” Master Wei shook his head. “The Spirit Bird Puppet imitates the form of a legendary true spirit. The materials required are more precious and stringent. If the quality doesn’t meet the standards, it will become an ordinary fourth-order puppet.”

    “Every bit helps.”

    Lu Chang’an didn’t push it.

    In the previous battle, the Spirit Bird Peacock Puppet had showcased unique strategic effects.

    Even though it hadn’t ascended to the fourth stage, the Spirit Bird Peacock’s five-colored divine light had a restraining effect on many magical artifacts and divine abilities at the Nascent Soul stage.

    “Be careful when storing the venom sac. It can be used to refine fourth-order poison.”

    Master Wei carefully removed the Crimson Shadow Serpent King’s venom sac.

    Lu Chang’an and Earth Rock Jun subconsciously moved away to avoid the deadly poison.

    In reality, the Crimson Shadow Serpent King had many other abilities, among which the deadly poison was countered by the puppets.

    There was also the serpent shedding technique and the fake death technique for escaping.

    Unfortunately, it fell into a trap, was immediately cornered and hunted, and its numerous techniques had no space to play out.

    Lu Chang’an considered using the poison refined from the Crimson Shadow Serpent King’s venom sac to enhance the fourth-order puppet controlled by Master Wei.

    This would enhance the fourth-order puppet’s killing power, and it might be able to play a decisive role in critical moments.

    The essence extracted from the serpent king’s body could be used as ink to draw fourth-order talismans.

    The smooth serpent skin from its abdomen and other parts could be used to make talisman skins.

    Lu Chang’an’s talisman drawing skills were at a bottleneck. However, with the help of his past life’s soul, the success rate of creating pre-fourth-order talismans was not bad.

    The serpent’s gall bladder, heart, and other parts could be used as precious medicinal materials to refine spirit pills and elixirs, which were also beneficial for the fourth-order demon beast, Earth Rock Jun.

    “Thank you for your generosity, Master.”

    Earth Rock Rat’s mouth was covered in blood and flesh. It had received a large amount of serpent flesh and blood, as well as the precious serpent gall bladder and heart.

    It took the initiative to ask for the serpent king’s eyes as a snack.

    Thus, Earth Rock Jun successfully staged a “rat swallows serpent” comeback.

    Most of the serpent king’s flesh and organs became its supplementary resources.

    The serpent king was large enough to provide Earth Rock Jun with a long-term supply.

    Supplementing, is one of the ways for wild demon beasts to increase their cultivation.

    Up to now, Earth Rock Jun had supplemented itself with the pre-fourth-order Crimson Flame Great Serpent, and now the Crimson Shadow Serpent King.

    They were all products of the Great Serpent Mountain.

    Lu Chang’an thought to himself, with such opportunities, Earth Rock Jun’s progress towards the peak of the early fourth-order would be faster.

    Lu Chang’an kept the most valuable fourth-order demon pill for now.

    This pill could be used to supplement either Earth Rock Jun or Xuan Shui Gui (玄水龟 – Xuan Water Turtle), greatly increasing their cultivation. It could also be used as the main ingredient in refining fourth-order spirit pills.

    Unfortunately, this fourth-order demon pill had lost its essence, making its effectiveness slightly inferior.

    Even if Earth Rock Jun were to consume it in the future, it wouldn’t be able to ascend to the mid-fourth-order demon king. If it were a complete pill, it would increase its chances by two or three times.

    After Earth Rock Jun underwent mutation and enhancement, absorbing a small amount of innate turbid qi, its bloodline reached the earth-grade level, but its potential was approaching its limit.

    The Crimson Shadow Serpent King was a heaven-grade bloodline, albeit a lower-tier heaven-grade, but its foundation and potential were deeper than Earth Rock Jun’s. If the serpent king were to devour Earth Rock Jun, including the complete pill, its chance of reaching the mid-fourth-order would still be higher.

    Half a day later.

    Lu Chang’an completed the division of the serpent king’s corpse.

    “These remaining outer periphery materials are of lower quality. However, they’re enough to enhance the puppet formation.”

    Lu Chang’an’s puppet formation consisted of sixteen mid-to-high-grade third-order puppets. If they were all upgraded to high-grade third-order puppets, their power could be significantly increased, making the whole formation more cohesive.

    The materials needed for high-grade third-order puppets were also quite precious. Such a large gap could not be filled in the short term.

    As the Grand Protector of the Cloud Mist Sect, and as a Nascent Soul True Monarch, Lu Chang’an could leverage the sect’s power to expedite the collection of materials during this demon disaster.

    Outside, the scale of the demon disaster was expanding further, entering a stage of full-blown outbreak.

    Lu Chang’an had been in seclusion for nearly half a year, mainly focusing on upgrading his puppets.

    The Green Armor Puppet and the puppet formation had both seen an increase in strength.

    During his seclusion.

    The Cloud Mist Sect received a Nascent Soul representative from the royal family, who came to inquire about the death of the fourth-order serpent king of the Great Serpent Mountain.

    The Grand Yu royal family usually turned a blind eye to the underhanded actions of some Nascent Soul cultivators within their territory.

    However, the death of a Nascent Soul combat power in the Grand Yu cultivation world was enough to cause a major earthquake, and the royal family couldn’t ignore it.

    Cloud Mist Sect, the sect’s grand hall.

    A woman in red, with a graceful and elegant demeanor, sat on the top seat.

    This Nascent Soul representative of the royal family had cold eyes and a business-like approach.

    “True Monarch Hong Xiu, unfortunately, Chang Qing True Monarch is in seclusion and won’t have time to meet with the royal family’s inquiries.”

    True Monarch Zi Xia, with her hair elegantly tied up and wearing a light purple, floor-length fairy dress, sat gracefully, politely declining.

    “True Monarch Jiang, I didn’t expect the Cloud Mist Sect to possess such abilities, to actually successfully ambush and kill the Great Serpent Mountain’s serpent king ancestor.”

    True Monarch Hong Xiu’s face was expressionless, and her sharp eyes fixed on the Purple Cloud Fairy, her former sister.

    She had once tried to persuade Jiang Ziyan to become a Daoist couple with “天元剑君 – Tian Yuan Sword Monarch” Yu Yuan Jin, promising a bright future. The royal family had promised not to interfere with the Cloud Mist Sect’s authority, maintaining its independent lineage.

    In the end, Jiang Ziyan didn’t accept her offer.

    The royal family had also tried to recruit Xiang Da Long, offering him a large sum of money, but it ended in failure.

    “Sister Hong Xiu, you overestimate the Cloud Mist Sect. Zi Yan and Da Long’s strength is not enough to kill the Crimson Shadow Serpent King. Moreover, it was the Great Serpent Mountain who tried to hinder Da Long from hunting the fourth-order demon bird. Later, it was ambushed by a mysterious cultivator and unfortunately perished. It can be said that they brought it upon themselves.”

    The Purple Cloud Fairy answered calmly, pushing the blame away.

    “Eliminating demon creatures is the responsibility of all the major forces in the Grand Yu Kingdom. It happened in the border area between the two sects. How can the actions of the Great Serpent Mountain be considered hindering? True Monarch Chi She (赤蛇道友 – Crimson Serpent Daoist Friend) made a solemn oath that the Great Serpent Mountain never took the first move, but instead, the Crimson Shadow Serpent King was ambushed.”

    True Monarch Hong Xiu sneered, her voice arrogant and authoritative, “I ask you, without the cooperation of the Cloud Mist Sect, how could one or two Nascent Soul True Monarchs ambush and kill the Crimson Shadow Serpent King in such a short time?”

    Upon hearing this, the Purple Cloud Fairy fell silent for a moment. The Cloud Mist Sect couldn’t completely detach itself from this matter.

    This was the consensus between her and Lu Chang’an.

    “The Great Serpent Mountain has submitted crucial evidence and is willing to confront the court. If your sect has a clear conscience, it’s best to cooperate and investigate this matter.”

    True Monarch Hong Xiu’s tone was forceful, revealing her intentions.

    “The demon disaster is now spreading wildly. Chang Qing True Monarch is in seclusion. We will cooperate with the investigation after the demon disaster is over.”

    The Purple Cloud Fairy hesitated for a moment and responded.

    True Monarch Hong Xiu’s tone softened slightly as she said sternly, “Zi Yan, with the royal family’s methods, we will eventually uncover the truth with the evidence we have.”

    “Your sect will be treated more leniently if you confess. The royal family will not make things too difficult. Let Xiang Da Long turn over the serpent king’s remains and pay compensation, and the royal family will step in to mediate and resolve the grievances and feuds between the two sects.”

    Upon hearing this, the Purple Cloud Fairy was startled. She noticed the royal family’s bias.

    The royal family didn’t want to see a fourth-order puppet master emerge from the Cloud Mist Sect.

    If they were to hand over the serpent king’s corpse and pay a large amount of compensation, it would be a long time before Xiang Da Long could even think about becoming a fourth-order puppet master.

    After sending off True Monarch Hong Xiu, the Purple Cloud Fairy felt worried.

    She sent a transmission talisman to Lu Chang’an, who was in seclusion.

    “Zi Yan has done well. Delay this matter as much as possible.”

    Lu Chang’an, during his seclusion, sensed the arrival of True Monarch Hong Xiu and heard their conversation using his powerful divine consciousness.

    The power of the second and fourth reincarnations hadn’t dissipated yet. He still maintained the divine consciousness of a Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivator.

    “Are you sure delaying it will work?”

    Hearing Lu Chang’an’s transmission, Jiang Ziyan felt slightly relieved.

    Lu Chang’an’s divination had foreseen the royal family’s intervention and investigation.

    Therefore, he had informed Jiang Ziyan in advance.

    It was simply a tactic of delaying.

    The Cloud Mist Sect was also part of the Grand Yu Kingdom’s forces. As long as they weren’t too arrogant, the royal family couldn’t directly attack an existing Nascent Soul True Monarch for the sake of a deceased fourth-order demon king.

    At most, they would put pressure on them, forcing the Cloud Mist Sect to surrender some interests, restricting the growth of Xiang Da Long and the sect, and secretly supporting the Great Serpent Mountain to create a balance between the two forces.

    However, the royal family couldn’t know whether Lu Chang’an could become a fourth-order puppet master, because it wasn’t important in the short term.

    Because Master Wei was already a fourth-order puppet master, and he had merged with a true fourth-order puppet.

    “It’s enough.”

    Lu Chang’an’s tone was firm, reassuring the Purple Cloud Fairy.

    Once he digested the spoils of the demon disaster, the strength of his followers (spirit pets, puppet formations, and puppets) would all be enhanced.

    Even if a Nascent Soul mid-stage member of the royal family came to put pressure on him, Lu Chang’an wouldn’t be afraid. He wouldn’t mind showcasing his strength a little.

    Even more subtle is this.

    Towards the end of the demon disaster, Lu Chang’an would meet with “Jing Tian True Monarch” to seal demons in the forbidden area of the central region.

    Jing Tian True Monarch was definitely a prominent figure in the Grand Abyss central region. Even if he hadn’t revealed a pseudo-spiritual artifact, he still had the strength comparable to a Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivator.

    If he really possessed a pseudo-spiritual artifact, he would have the divine abilities to destroy Nascent Soul sects, allowing him to turn the tides in the central region. Even the Grand Yu royal family, top forces like Beast King Valley, would have to fear and tolerate him.

    At that time, Lu Chang’an wouldn’t mind showcasing his friendly relationship with Jing Tian True Monarch, going out together to handle matters, continuing to delay and put them off.

    At that time, how dare the royal family interfere?

    They simply wouldn’t be able to stop him.

    Lu Chang’an, who established a sect by himself, if he invited Jing Tian True Monarch as a strong ally, would be enough to overlook the Grand Abyss cultivation world. He wouldn’t dare to claim invincibility, but he wouldn’t have to take anyone else’s orders.
