A master of supernatural powers who started from low martial arts

Just when Chen Zhantang and other disciples obtained their identities, they were eagerly learning the basic knowledge of the Yuanlingtian immortal world.

Just a few months later, a shocking news reached Longshan Fairy City.

Upon hearing the news, Lu Yuan fiddled with the communication talisman in his hand, his eyes slightly fixed:
“The century-long impact is finally here.”

As his voice floated, he flew out of Zizhu Peak on a light breeze and headed for the core office of the Immortal City, Yixian Hall.

When he arrived at the hall, he saw more than a dozen Jindan cultivators already waiting solemnly. These cultivators were both male and female, some had sage-like looks, and some were graceful. Most of them greeted Lu Yuan when they saw him.

After all, in Longshan Immortal City, there are only three or five cultivators in the late Jindan stage, and Lu Yuan is not only in the late Jindan stage, but also highly trusted by True Monarch Huanglong after joining the Immortal City. He has been promoted rapidly all the way, and everyone has to give him some face.

Including Huanglong Zhenjun's other two disciples, Xiao Ruxue and He Zhenyue, they also greeted him very politely.

After Lu Yuan returned to the Immortal City, although these two people were not refined into clones, they had already been brainwashed again with the nightmare magic power, and they no longer had any doubts about the identity of Liuyun's clone.

At this moment, Qin Ruoning and Su Lingyue were also in the hall, but they did not come forward to avoid suspicion. Instead, an old woman with snow-white hair and a frail appearance, holding a dragon-headed wooden cane, came forward with Su Lingyue:
"Friend Lu, you are here too."

"Old Lady Su."

The person who came was Su Lingyue's great-grandmother, the Su family's formation master, Old Lady Su. Because of Su Lingyue, Lu Yuan had been to the Su family as a guest. He nodded in return:
"Resisting the onslaught of a hundred years is the responsibility of all of us cultivators. The Immortal City has summoned me to come here on my own. However, you, old lady, are old, and you should be in charge at the rear. Why?"

Old Lady Su shook her head:

"I naturally cannot leave because I am stationed in the Immortal City, but my girl may have to go to a dangerous place. I have heard that the Longyuan's century-old impact is heading towards Beiling Immortal City. The corpse demon tide is so huge that there may be tens of millions of them. This city is only seven or eight thousand miles away from Longshan Immortal City. If we are not careful, it may affect Longshan Immortal City.

In order to resist the impact, we will inevitably need to mobilize the formation masters from various cities to provide support, so I would like to ask Brother Lu to take care of my granddaughter. If she encounters any danger, you can lend a hand and save her life. I and the entire Su family will be grateful to you."

As she spoke, she bowed deeply. Lu Yuan raised his hand to stop her and said with a smile:
"This is a trivial matter. There is no need for you to be polite, Old Lady Su. I will just agree to it."

He knew why the other party spoke to him. On the one hand, he was obviously in the late Jindan stage and was now very popular in Longshan Immortal City. On the other hand, because Su Lingyue came to him from time to time some time ago to ask for advice on formations, the news might have reached the ears of Old Lady Su, who mistakenly believed that there was some unusual relationship between the two parties.

However, Lu Yuan was too lazy to explain.

Seeing that he agreed without any hesitation, Old Lady Su smiled:

"Great, with the help of Fellow Daoist Lu, this trip will be a sure success."

Before he finished speaking, a strong aura surged in, and two figures walked into the hall one after the other, attracting many Jindan cultivators waiting in the hall to greet them:
"Greetings, Master Huang Long."

"Meet Master Wei."

The visitor was none other than Lu Yuan's Huanglong clone, and also Wei Bufan, the guest master of the Immortal Alliance who had not discovered any clues so far.

Arriving at the hall, the two great masters sat down at the first table. The Yellow Dragon clone waved his long sleeves and went straight to the point:
“I will not go into too much idle talk. The main reason I summoned you all here is that the Hundred Years’ Impact has already begun, and it has already started from Long Yuan and is heading straight for Bei Ling Xian City.

There were tens of millions of corpse demons attacking this time, and it was almost impossible to resist with the power of only one immortal city, so the Immortal Alliance ordered the five surrounding immortal cities to pool their strength and mobilize cultivators above the foundation building level to provide support.

We have received an order from Longshan Immortal City to send thirty foundation-building masters, ten Jindan masters, and one Yuanying master to provide support. Since I have to stay in the Immortal City, Master Wei will lead ten of you, plus other foundation-building masters on standby. Is there any problem?"

As soon as the words fell, all the Jindan cultivators who had been prepared responded regardless of what they thought in their hearts:
"We will follow the city lord's arrangements."

However, the most experienced lady Su said:

"May I ask, Lord City Lord, I have heard that during the Hundred Years Impact that occurred in Long Yuan, it is certain that there are Heavenly Corpse King-level beings, or even more than one?"

As soon as the words fell, the expressions of all the Jindan cultivators were stern.

The fourth-level Heavenly Corpse corresponds to the Nascent Soul, and the fifth-level Heavenly Corpse King is equivalent to a giant at the level of God Transformation. It can no longer be regarded as an insane monster, but a peerless evil demon that can cause devastation to all living beings in heaven and earth. This kind of existence itself is the most terrifying source of corpse qi and death qi. Even if it stands there and does nothing, the monstrous corpse qi and death qi it emits may pollute all living beings within dozens of miles and turn them into corpse demons.

And if this kind of existence is hidden in the hundred-year impact, then this support operation would be a life-or-death situation for any cultivator.

However, Huang Long's clone responded calmly:

"Don't worry, everyone. In order to prevent the Hundred Years' Attack on the Immortal Alliance, we have already asked the Fire Chasing Heavenly Monarch Gu Taicang and the Spirit Sword Heavenly Monarch Yu Jianping to come to the border for support. The Heavenly Monarch has already gone to contain the Sky Corpse King in the corpse tide. What Beiling Immortal City has to face are just a few Sky Corpses and a large number of Corpse Kings and corpse tides."

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.

The gap between the fifth-order Heavenly Corpse King and the corpse demons at the lower levels is as huge as the gap between the God-Transforming Heavenly Monarch and the cultivators below. If such a person really existed, they would never dare to joke with their own lives.

But now that the Immortal Alliance's great gods have taken on the greatest risks and pressure, they have nothing to fear.

Seeing the reactions of the Jindan cultivators, Lu Yuan asked at the right time:

"Lord City Lord, I wonder when the specific personnel will set off for the support?" Huang Long's clone said calmly:
"The Hundred Years' Impact is already heading towards Beiling Immortal City. A war may break out in two or three days. Naturally, the sooner the better. You must follow them today. As for the list, it will be my disciples Xiao Ruxue, He Zhenyue, Elder Lu Yuan and others."

Obviously, he had already decided on the candidates before coming. He named ten names in a row. Most of the Jindan cultivators who were called blushed slightly, but had to respond.

After all, the few Jindan Zhenren who were not named were basically cultivators like Old Lady Su who had rich qualifications and mastered superb skills such as elixirs, weapons, talismans and arrays. They could refine elixirs, weapons and talismans to supply the front line, and could play a greater role than fighting.

As for Lu Yuan
The reason why he was pointed out by the clone was naturally because he wanted to experience the impact of a hundred years, as well as the existence of the fifth-order Heavenly Corpse King and the phantom god giant.

At the same time, it is also a rare opportunity to take advantage of to reap the merits of Heaven.

Just like that, after the roll call, Wei Bufan, who had been sitting on the sidelines and had not spoken a word, slowly stood up and looked down at everyone:

"Now that the personnel have been decided, please select the troops and generals and set out with me."

Although Wei Bufan was only stationed in Longshan Immortal City and was not responsible for specific affairs, his status was basically equal to that of True Lord Huanglong. The cultivators immediately agreed, then left the hall and gathered the thirty foundation-building masters who were waiting outside.

After gathering all the people, Wei Bufan raised his hand and released a jade flying boat, which grew against the wind and turned into a giant boat over ten feet long. It then carried Lu Yuan and others through the air and headed for Beiling Immortal City.

Wei Bufan's flying boat was obviously a magical weapon close to a fourth-rank spiritual treasure. Not only was the space on the boat a different world, but it was also extremely fast. In just two or three hours, they had quickly passed through thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and from high in the sky they could already vaguely see a magnificent city in the distance.

There were brilliant lights flashing around the city, and it was obvious that the city defense formation had been activated. When Lu Yuan flew over the city, he took a quick look and found that the scale of Beiling Immortal City was only slightly larger than Longshan Immortal City. Not to mention the outer area, the core area alone was over a hundred miles in size.

At this time, several large flying boats were hovering in the sky above the Immortal City. On the flying boats were cultivators of various shapes and sizes with solemn expressions. They were obviously cultivators who were about to be sent to the front line to fight. When Wei Bufan arrived in the immortal boat, several figures from the opponent's flying boat team flew out to greet him:
"I am Yang Xianlin, the Lord of Beiling Immortal City. The one who is here is the guest master of Longshan Immortal City, Fellow Daoist Wei Bufan?"

Wei Bufan flew out from the immortal boat and greeted him with a bow:
"Officially, under the order of the Immortal Alliance, Wei is leading the cultivators of Longshan Immortal City to come to support us and fight against the evil demons together with the Taoists of Beiling Immortal City. I wonder if the Taoist friends from the other four immortal cities have arrived?"

Beiling City's Lord Yang Xianlin was a middle-aged man with a sage-like demeanor and a touch of elegance. Hearing this, he said:
"My fellow Taoists from the other four immortal cities are still on their way here. I believe they will arrive one after another today. There is already a guest master from the Immortal Alliance investigating the movement of the corpse tide at the front line. I plan to wait for all of you to gather together before we go together to divide the corpse tide and avoid it merging. Now, please go to the immortal city and rest for a while."

Wei Bufan had no objection and immediately put away the flying boat. Then he led Lu Yuan and other cultivators from Longshan Immortal City to follow Yang Xianlin and others and fly into the immortal city. They landed on a square and waited.

Another two or three hours later.

Then, huge rays of fairy light were seen coming at a high speed from the horizon, and then hovering above the square under the guidance of the monks from Beiling Fairy City. It turned out that monks from other fairy cities had arrived one after another to provide support.

The configuration of these cultivators who came to support was exactly the same as Lu Yuan and his group. The leaders were all Yuanying Zhenjun, and there were dozens of Jindan and Foundation Establishment cultivators.

When the support from the other four immortal cities arrived, Wei Bufan and several other Yuanying Zhenjun were invited to a hall to discuss something. Su Lingyue glanced at the large number of Jindan and foundation-building cultivators present, and her face became extremely solemn:

"Five immortal cities, more than fifty Jindan masters, more than a hundred foundation-building masters, such a large lineup, it seems that this century-long impact will be much more difficult to deal with than the last time."

“I don’t know how many people will be able to return safely this time, and how many will die here.”

There was a heavy tone in her voice. Lu Yuan did not look down on others because of his own cultivation and magical powers, and did not take the Hundred Years Impact seriously. He just sighed and said:
"Fortunately, you are a cultivator of the Dao of Formation, so you don't have to rush to the front line. We can retreat if we see trouble. Even those low-level cultivators will probably be consumed like cannon fodder, not to mention the billions of mortals who may suffer if the defense line is breached."

Su Lingyue could only sigh: "The world has been like this since I can remember. What can I do? I don't know if I can see the hope of ending the catastrophe in my lifetime."

Lu Yuan's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't say anything.

According to all the information, the root cause or source of the corpse demon catastrophe in this world is in the Dongxuan Continent, the ancient cave secret realm explored by the Yuhua Sect.

It was precisely because of the discovery and excavation of this ancient secret realm that the great masters and even the high-ranking officials of the Yuhua Sect were eventually transformed into corpse demons, destroying the sect and sweeping across the entire continent, ultimately causing this terrible catastrophe that brought disaster to the entire world of cultivating immortals.

In fact, the high-level monks in the three continents of Central, Western and Southern have now realized this problem and have tried to explore the source and solve the catastrophe from the root, but have not been able to do so.

The main reason was that when the Dongxuan Continent had not yet been completely occupied, powerful Return to the Void from other continents had gone there to search and explore, and even planned to find a way to completely seal and destroy the strange ancient cave secret realm.

However, the powerful Fanxu from the Yuhua Sect, who had transformed into a supreme corpse demon, was so ferocious that he interfered and prevented the goal from being achieved.

Later, the corpse demon catastrophe swept across the world of immortal cultivation like a snowball, and the entire Dongxuan Continent became a den of ghosts, with countless corpse demons and corpse monsters running rampant. In addition to the Heavenly Corpse Emperor at the Return to Void level, many powerful Heavenly Corpse Kings were also born. Even the Return to Void masters found it difficult to fight alone, leading to the current corrupt situation.

In Lu Yuan's opinion, relying on the lower world civilization to mass-produce nuclear weapons can only contain the catastrophe but cannot solve the problem from the root.

If one wants to completely cleanse the world and restore the entire Yuanlingtian to peace and prosperity, the most important thing is to figure out what exactly exists in the ruins of the ancient cave heaven, and how it caused all the powerful people who returned to the void to turn into corpse demons. Only by solving this problem can it be possible to completely end the catastrophe.

However, even a vast world of immortal cultivation like Yuanlingtian has its limits. The Great Return to the Void is already the supreme existence in the world of immortal cultivation. Throughout countless epochs throughout the ages, the state of Return to the Void has been the pinnacle of cultivation, and there is no further to go.

Unfortunately, the powerful beings in the Return to Void Realm are not enough to uncover the secrets in the ruins of the ancient cave heaven, causing the situation in the world of immortal cultivation to fall into a vicious circle.

Unless one day, there is a being who transcends the realm of returning to the void among the cultivators in the world, it will be possible to use supreme means to penetrate into the East Xuanzhou area, destroy the Emperor of Heavenly Corpses, and uncover the secret of the catastrophe.
