Each of the nine dragon maidens possesses extraordinary abilities.

Chapter 88: If he were a true hero, how could he be fake?

The most eye-catching feature of the Mo family camp is probably the chimney-like structure.

There were indeed many blood corpses and believers left behind in the Mo family camp, as well as mutated monsters, but Lu Yueyuan kicked them all to death as if they were just roadside creatures.

I have to say, the new powers I've acquired are incredibly useful.

After countless simulations, Lu Yueyuan already possessed a wide range of skills. Coupled with the power of the Holy Emperor, he was like a tiger with wings. Now, his cultivation level could no longer restrain him. Whether he had a natal magic weapon or extraordinary phenomena of heaven and earth was irrelevant. Lu Yueyuan's biggest problem now was his spiritual sea.

Because of low cultivation level, the mana bar is too small.

Fortunately, Lu Yueyuan was a master at controlling spiritual energy, and he prioritized efficiency in killing enemies, without any unnecessary waste.

He calmly overcame all obstacles and entered the chimney-like circular building, filled with envy.

So far, apart from those two variables, everything is going according to his plan.

He sensed the blessing bestowed upon Qingzhou by Lord Hengjun, and as he had expected, Jing Xingzhou would not run away.

That's enough. As long as Lord Hengjun doesn't betray him, he'll have enough time to work with the Hermit to deal with Qingzaishan and the proxy.

With one more high-end combatant, Lu Yueyuan needs to find a way to increase his win rate, ideally achieving a 100% chance of defeating those two.

Therefore, Lu Yueyuan must obtain this item that has been dormant within the Mo family camp.

The interior of the chimney was much more spacious than it appeared from the outside. The entire space was a perfect circle that sank deep downwards, like a giant, hollowed-out well. The walls were engraved with immortal symbols, exactly the same as the patterns on the walls of the mobile fortress built by Jealousy.

He took Jealousy's hand, and the two of them went down the stairs and into the darkness underground.

Lu Yueyuan said, "Do you remember the historical anecdotes about the immortal craftsmanship we talked about? What exactly is the legendary divine tree that bears the heavenly fire? Is it fruit, the sun, or dried meat?"

Jealousy blinked and said, "My Lord, do you know the answer?"

Lu Yueyuan nodded: "Yes, I know."

"Then why did you ask us on purpose? The Executor has a bad heart."

Lu Yueyuan was about to explain when a spatial fluctuation suddenly came from the side.

I'm afraid of getting it wiped.

The familiar spatial rift, from which the reclusive hermit emerged, covered in blood.

She and Lu Yueyuan looked at each other, and for a moment they felt a little awkward.

“Um… Your Excellency, the respected representative…”

Lu Yueyuan interrupted her: "You're fine with that, no need to listen to your arrogance."

The recluse sighed. Despite Lu Yueyuan's words, she was still somewhat embarrassed: "I already wanted to be natural, but... sigh, I've never believed in God. Now I've been inexplicably pulled into your virtual gathering. This feeling is strange. Wasn't this supposed to be a collaboration?"

It's a collaboration.

Lu Yueyuan didn't see anything wrong with it: "The Holy Emperor is benevolent. He will not take away the path you are currently on, nor does He require you to do anything for Him. There is also one more thing you should understand: no matter what agreement Jing Xingzhou made with Lord Hengjun this time, He will only protect Qingzhou this time. You need a new god."

"...You know so much. It feels like we've all been tricked," said the reclusive hermit.

Lu Yueyuan said, "My god and I have no intention of harming you. You only need to understand this. Moreover, everyone in our organization risked their lives in this matter. They are not from Qingzhou, but they are fighting for you."

He took a half step back, letting Jealousy stand in front of him: "Take this one, for example. She's a core member of our organization, Jealousy. She has no connection to Qingzhou, but she's willing to risk her life for this land, right, Jealousy?"

Jealousy immediately stood at attention and bowed: "I will answer you in the most loyal, straightforward, and direct way, of course!"

"Okay, very spirited!"

The recluse had a lot to say, but he was choked up and couldn't speak.

After much deliberation, she decided against it. She would simply be a believer in this god, since it was only in name. Besides, the god's blessings were genuine, and Qingzhou did indeed need the protection of a true deity.

But what she was really worried about wasn't that; what she was worried about was the Jiuyi Sect.

Lu Yueyuan is a member of the Jiuyi Sect. No matter how this matter develops in the future, he will be regarded as a traitor by the Jiuyi Sect. The Hermit himself certainly doesn't care. He can fall out with the Jiuyi Sect if he wants, but can Lu Yueyuan do that?

Have he and his deity truly prepared to wage war against the Jiuyi Sect?

While the recluse was pondering, Lu Yueyuan was already walking down the path. As he walked, he said, "I understand why you came to see me. Jing Xingzhou and Lord Hengjun have made a deal and are certainly prepared for a war of gods. Now the Heavenly Venerable's representative has led people to meet with Qing Zaishan. If a war is inevitable, our best opportunity is now, before they reach an agreement."

"Yes, what are your plans?" the recluse asked.

“I plan to take the things down there to increase our chances of winning,” Lu Yueyuan said. “You’ve come at the right time, please help me out.”

The Immortal Tree of Heaven is a divine tree that bears the fire of heaven.

History is vague and, for some reason, its records are very brief, consisting of only the few sentences: "In the twilight era, the divine tree received heavenly fire and thus became a god."

But none of this could escape Qing Zaishan's eyes. Her powers were related to history, so she could restore the true history. In the Zaishan History Pavilion, Qing Zaishan recorded this history.

"...In the twilight era, the laws of heaven collapsed, and all things in the world had the opportunity to become gods. I've always felt that the people of Qingzhou were cruel, cunning, deceitful, and treacherous, and this feeling arose from this period of history."

The customs of Qingzhou revere ingenuity but lack benevolence. The area abounds in excellent trees, among which is a type called Chizhang, reaching a height of thirty zhang (approximately 13 meters), its shade covering half a li (approximately 2.5 kilometers). Its leaves resemble emerald jade, and its branches are laden with jade-like fruits. Clouds swirl around it year-round, and hundreds of birds nest in its branches. Local legend has long held that this tree absorbs the essence of the sun and moon, its heart containing a flame and the seed of power, but this has never been verified.

In the twilight years, everyone in every state coveted the opportunity to become a god. A skilled craftsman named Mo Sui suddenly had a crazy idea. He gathered his disciples and said, "The Crimson Jade Tree has a lifespan of ten million years. Its sap is like blood, and its patterns can connect Yin and Yang. If we carve its trunk into a cylindrical shape, thread it with gold wire, and then channel earth fire into its heart, then the tree can become a mechanical hub, and the top can emit heavenly fire. We can use special patterns to shape its power and create the first man-made god."

Mo Sui then cast one hundred iron rings, each engraved with patterns—the original immortal design—and quenched them with the sap of the Crimson Jade. He ordered the craftsmen to carve a chamber inside the tree trunk, binding it with iron rings and connecting it with gold wire. When they reached the heart of the tree, they discovered something resembling a human eye, with clearly defined pupils. With each strike, blood and tears gushed forth, flowing ceaselessly for three days and three nights. Legend has it that the Crimson Jade emitted a mournful cry every night, the sound carrying for thirty miles, like the wailing of an infant or the lamentation of an old woman.

A month later, Chi Zhang fell silent. Its spirit had completely merged into it, and its power was thus established. The weapon refiners of Qingzhou enjoyed its power, and the mechanical creations they crafted were like living beings. Mo Sui created the first artificial god and named it Tiangong Buxian (Heavenly Craftsmanship Immortal).

Whenever the power of the Heavenly Craftsmanship Immortal is activated, the immortal symbols around it are activated, eventually converging at the top and emitting a crimson light. From a distance, it looks like heavenly fire descending; this is what is meant by the Divine Tree Bearing Heavenly Fire.

For Whom the Bell Tolls

Chapter 89: Forever and Ever, Loyal (8k)

Passing through the darkness via the narrow staircase, with the help of the reclusive hermit, the layers of formations on the lower levels were instantly dispelled, and they had reached the bottom.

Lu Yueyuan touched the wall, and the moment he channeled his spiritual energy into it, a certain mechanism was activated.

A rumbling sound came from underground; something was rising.

It was a blood-red eye.

All the brilliance of the Mo family's weapon crafting today originated from here, and the [Power] also originated from here, enduring in the Mo family for generations.

Only the leaders and patriarchs of the Mohist school throughout history knew how to invoke power, but history has been obscured for too long, so they only knew the way but not the reason.

Everyone thought this was a miracle of the Mohists, protected by the immortality of the heavens, but it wasn't at all.

This place is now a testament to the enduring power of nature.

Lu Yueyuan pointed his finger, and the eye shrank layer by layer, turning into a small red dot in the astonished gaze of the Hermit Hermit, which condensed in his palm.

Golden light shimmered in Lu Yueyuan's eyes. He saw that these blood-red eyes had once been embedded in the earth's veins, but now the earth's veins had been corrupted by the power of the Celestial Venerable.

The soil beneath the ground has been soaked by a sea of ​​blood.

The Celestial Venerable's Blood Sea Holy Spirit entered the mortal world through this underground Blood Sea and possessed a corpse.

As the progress of Qingzhou's return to the Void accelerates, the Blood Sea's area is also expanding, and one day it will swallow up the entire Qingzhou.

kill.

The sea of ​​blood needs more slaughter to nourish it.

The sea of ​​blood, which had begun to erode the mortal world, seemed to have gained its own consciousness. It met Lu Yueyuan's all-seeing eyes and began to clamor.

Lu Yueyuan said to the reclusive hermit, "Could you quickly construct a formation for sharing the spiritual sea so that I can borrow some of your spiritual energy?"

The recluse was puzzled, but she still chose to obey.

Thus, a rapid formation was constructed.

Then, Lu Yueyuan raised his right hand and aimed it at the sea of ​​blood below.

[Back off].

The sea of ​​blood began to dissipate.

It is receding, and the earth's veins in Qingzhou are returning to their former state.

Blood Sea roared in terror. Finally, the retreat stopped. Blood Sea laughed weakly and continued to taunt Lu Yueyuan.

The recluse turned pale and leaned against the wall, nearly having her spiritual energy drained.

Lu Yueyuan tossed her a pill to restore her spiritual energy and continued trying.

The sea of ​​blood boiled, but the last bit could not be retreated no matter what.

It seems this is the only way we can go.

However, this was enough. Before the final battle, Lu Yueyuan had already minimized the influence of the Celestial Venerable on this place.

He looked at the recluse again: "Please call Arrogance over here."

Hermit: "........"

They're really treating her like a tool.

But so be it. It was all for Qingzhou. She casually opened a spatial rift, went inside, and soon came out with arrogance.

Arrogance still looks so energetic, and her cross-dressing gives her a kind of androgynous beauty.

She first touched Jealousy's head before saying, "Agent, I've arrived."

Lu Yueyuan split the condensed red bead in two and tossed one of them to her: "This is for you."

He arrogantly accepted it: "What is this?"

Lu Yueyuan said, "I will give you half of the Heavenly Craft Immortal Power Core. I will send you the details on how to use it through the Phantom Gathering."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over Jealousy with a subtle glint before settling on Arrogance: "The main battlefield is yours. Go and join forces with the Langya Gang to quickly clear the battlefield."

"Aren't you going with me?"

He arrogantly said, "I was the one who attacked Ming Huaiwei last time, so let me go with you this time too."

Arrogance always thought that although Lu Yueyuan didn't bring her with him when he came to the Mo family, he would still call her when he was fighting Qing Zaishan. He didn't expect him to change his mind so easily now.

"Clean up the battlefield quickly. With your strength and the power of the Immortal Heavenly Craftsman, no one can stop you. If you finish fighting on my side and it's still not over, then you can come and support me."

Lu Yueyuan said, "Also, protect Gluttony. Qingzhou is in such chaos right now, I won't feel at ease without your protection."

"And what about jealousy?"

“She’s coming with me.”

No, what does this mean?

Arrogance was somewhat bewildered.

Didn't you say yourself that you didn't want to involve other people in the Seven Deadly Sins? Why did you have to bring envy into this?

Lu Yueyuan didn't give her a chance to react and quickly issued orders: "Arrogance, go defend the front. Hermit, please take me and this child to the ley lines. The Celestial Venerable's proxy must still have conflicts with Qing Zaishan. Now is a good opportunity to resolve them."

The reclusive hermit had to remind him: "Even with the power of the immortal craftsman, we may not be able to win. Not to mention Qing Zaishan, the Heavenly Venerable's agent is very skilled in combat, and I have no way to deal with his power."

Lu Yueyuan said, "Don't worry, it's fine. Besides, defeating him isn't your task."

"You want to fight him personally? Even if you have the power, your cultivation level..."

The recluse thought Lu Yueyuan had really gone mad.

That's not how battles are fought, especially between cultivators and their agents. The two sides can compete in formations, weapon crafting, elixirs, powers, and so on. In order to win, ganging up on one person is not a problem.

"Yeah, yeah, that's not how you fight!"

Arrogance chimed in from the side, "My lord, now that Qingzhou is on our side, we can all gang up on that guy together, you..."

Her voice trailed off as Lu Yueyuan's golden eyes glared at her again.

"What are you glaring at? I didn't say anything wrong," she thought arrogantly and indignantly. She felt that Lu Yueyuan also possessed a certain kind of double standard in a worldly sense, which was the same as that of the gods.

Lu Yueyuan said, "Let's do it." He had no intention of explaining any further. At the same time, he said to Jealousy, "Protect yourself." Then he grabbed Jealousy's hand and stepped into the Hermit's spatial rift.

The recluse looked helplessly at the arrogance.
