Ancestor Above Chapter 265

265 Celestial appearance above the clouds, gantian real body

The time was up. The system was very cold.

Lu Qing could feel the power of the late-stage golden elixir realm in his body weakening rapidly. In the blink of an eye, the powerful vital essence was reduced to spiritual energy. Lu Qing returned to his normal state, where he was only at the peak of the initial enlightenment stage.

Moreover, they could only stay in this slightly larger closed-door cultivation room and were unable to leave.

That feeling of loss became even clearer as his body became empty.

Lu Qing only truly recovered after a while.

He sat down with waning interest and then opened the system interface.

Previously, he had heard a series of system notifications, but he was in a bad mood and did not bother to look at them.

Thinking about it, this should be the reward for him after he defeated and killed the two demon kings, Yin Liang and lang Luan.

The death of the two monster Kings could be considered the most iconic strategic event since the start of the battle of the wild forest. There would definitely be a reward for it.

When he thought of this, Lu Qing's mood improved.

He rubbed his hands and stared at the system interface.

“Let me see what kind of good treasure it is!”

……

[ completed one five-star strategic mission. Reward: 6813 karma, one five-star rare exchange item, one four-star rare exchange item ]

……

[ first kill of a stage-four demonic beast. Reward: 1000 karma ]

……

Buzzzzzz!

Just by looking at the top two pieces of information, just the income of karma alone was close to 8000 points!

Lu Qing was elated.

And the most important thing was the five-star rare exchange item!

Lu Qing had not seen it before!

5-star talent-Type: celestial cloud bearing (divine power)

[ it can be used on a cultivator of the clan to awaken the divine ability ‘celestial cloud top posture'. This ability allows the cultivator to merge their own strength and physical body into a space. It is invisible and colorless, and the power is omnipresent. ]

[ exchange for magical power-type exchange item. The cultivator of the clan must have a certain compatibility with the magical power; The cultivators who exchange for it can not have other magical powers. ]

after the basic adaptability is met, the magical power will adapt to the cultivator's situation and undergo a certain change.

[ exchange price: 2600 karma ]

……

Divine power!

To cultivators, this was the ultimate weapon in battle!

Putting everything else aside, under similar circumstances, cultivators with divine powers could almost directly crush those who had not. At the same time, in the face of stronger opponents with better equipment and magic tools, magical powers that belonged only to cultivators were also a weapon to challenge those of a higher level.

Previously, when he was fighting against the two peak-stage daemon Kings, Lu Qing was able to win despite having a lower cultivation level by two to three levels. He had two advantages. One was his cultivation technique, and the other was his divine powers.

Without the ‘power of the star God', the power of all of Lu Qing's moves, be it the burning of the astral wood fire or the' heavenly fate preservation spell', would be reduced by 30 to 50%. He would most likely not be able to withstand the two daemon Kings. Moreover, without the power of the star God to connect with the astrolabe and borrow the power of the stars, Lu Qing might not have the strength to continue fighting halfway through.

And the starry wood fire Eye that evolved from the Crimson eye was also very powerful. Without it, Lu Qing would not even be able to use a move like the fire of Starwood. It should be known that to combine star power and wood spiritual power and release them in the form of flames, it was something that could only be done with the help of this pair of eyes. No matter if it was the rising stars incantation or the creation book, there was no secret to controlling fire. It was impossible for him to use the infinite flame mantra, which was of a lower grade, to control the high-level power of the star Wood true essence.

One could imagine that without the ‘power of the star God' and the ‘starry wood fiery eyes', Lu Qing would have to put in a lot of effort to fight one of the demon kings, let alone two. He might not even be able to win.

If Kong Tong was a ninth-stage golden core cultivator, he wouldn't have been beaten up so badly by Yin Liang. He might even have been killed.

Without using him as an example, looking at the younger generation, Weiwen and Wenen had similar talents, and their cultivation levels were also similar. However, if they were to really fight, Weiwen would probably be able to hang Wenen up and beat him up. With the indestructible body of Vajrapani, it would be difficult for Wenen to really cause fatal damage to Weiwen even if he used all his strength. And if Weiwen got close, Wenen would probably be dead from that slash.

The difference was just that big.

Of course, this might not be the case in the future. After all, after the battle in the divine Deer Forest, he had already become a cultivator with a heavenly wood spiritual root. This was the highest talent among cultivators. The heaven spirit root not only represented strong talent and fast cultivation speed, but it also meant that Wenen could easily awaken his own magical power.

Divine powers were actually very rare.

Previously, Lu Qing was the only one among the four golden core cultivators of the Feiyun state. This was also one of the reasons why he was always so arrogant even though his cultivation level was not considered strong among the four golden core cultivators. The effectiveness of a sacred art in battle was simply too great.

In the Lu clan, apart from Lu Qing, only Weiwen and Chaohe had mastered magical powers.

As for this five-star magical power, Lu Qing could only look at the text description on the system interface. It was not easy for him to judge its strength. However, the magical power was not too bad.

Furthermore, Lu Qing also noticed that at the back of the exchange tab, it was clearly stated that there would be an adaptive change to the cultivator of the clan that he would exchange for.

Lu Qing still had enough trust in the system's functions. Since he said he could adapt, he should be able to adapt well.

Soon after, he took a look. There weren't many clan cultivators who could use the [ celestial cloud top posture ]. Most of them had spiritual roots or cultivation techniques that mainly focused on water, or metal and water. The others were basically not on this list, especially those whose spiritual roots had soil. Even if it was a small amount of the third or fourth spiritual roots, they wouldn't be able to use it.

It seemed that this [ celestial cloud top posture ] was completely incompatible with earth spiritual roots, and was mainly suitable for water.

And among these people, the one with the highest compatibility with this divine ability was naturally Li Yanling, who had a single spiritual root. Her cloud spirit root was a perfect match for this [ celestial cloud top posture ].

Moreover, Li Yanling was a golden core cultivator. For things like Sacred Arts, the stronger a cultivator was, the more effective they would be. When it came to the Foundation Stage, it was nothing more than being a King in the Foundation Stage; If a golden core cultivator could become the king of the Golden core stage, that would be awesome.

In theory, Lu Qing should have exchanged this magical power for Li Yanling.

However, Lu Qing's hand still hesitated at the end.

Li Yanling's surname was not Lu.

It was not that Lu Qing had any opinions about the in-laws. In the clan, if there were suitable spouses of some Lu clan cultivators, Lu Qing would also give them some exchange items to help them with their cultivation. For example, Lu mingling's wife. Lu Qing had helped her exchange for two cultivation speed boosts. When she first married into the Lu clan, she was only at the second level of the foundation building realm. Now, she was already at the fourth level.

however, the difference was that Li Yanling's identity was still a sensitive one.

She could be considered to have built some emotional foundations with Lu chaoxi and the entire Lu family. However, how could this be compared to growing up in the Lu family?

Most importantly, she was also hai Sande's direct disciple.

The Lu family and the hai family were close allies now, but who could say for sure what would happen in the future?

in a more extreme situation, if the two families turned against each other, who would Li Yanling stand on?

Lu Qing was not confident.

This wasn't just a wild guess or a dispute. The Lu family and the hai family might really have a conflict in the future.

But then again, ever since Yan Ling had married into the Lu clan, she had never done anything that let the Lu clan down. When the Lu family was in trouble, she would treat it as her own and deal with it at the same time.

Moreover, there was a very important point that made Lu Qing very satisfied with her. Back then, Li Yanling knew about the ‘space beyond' secret realm that had appeared under the clan's energy stone mine. She had also participated in the development of it.

After the incident, she was very tight-lipped about this matter and did not reveal a single thing to her master.

Lu Qing was very satisfied with his daughter-in-law because he had taken this into consideration.

Thinking about it this way, if the Lu family and the hai family really turned against each other, Li Yanling might not stand on the Lu family's side and beat up her master, but she wouldn't help the hai family beat them up, right?

After some consideration, Lu Qing decided to give her the exchange tab.

After all, no matter what, she was the most suitable and the most able person to display the value of this very precious five-star exchange option.

However, Lu Qing did not plan to exchange it for her just like that.

He had to make the best use of everything.

He planned to wait for things to settle down a little and call chaoxi and Yan Ling together. Then, he would show up and take something, saying it was some kind of family heirloom. He would put on an act and get the exchange tab for her to awaken her god art on the spot.

In any case, he just wanted Li Yanling to understand that the Lu family had paid a huge price to get this ability for her. She had to thank the Lu family.

This was a fact. Was 2600 karma not expensive?

If he exchanged it for her, she might think that he was awesome and had awakened a god art.

Without this layer, there would be a huge difference.

This would continue to increase the Lu family's status in Li Yanling's heart. It would make her realize that she and the Lu family were now a real family.

“Let's do this!”

……

4-star talent: heavenly true body (spirit body) ”

[ you can choose a family cultivator and give him the heavenly true body talent. ]

[ the chosen family cultivator must have a gold virtue spirit body. ]

[ exchange price: 1200 karma ]

……

This was a spirit-type Talent Exchange item. With this prerequisite, it went without saying that only Lu Weiwen would be suitable for it. In the family, she was the only one who had a gold spirit body.

The heavenly true body did not require any explanation from the system. Lu Qing had heard of it before.

This was a spirit type talent that was even rarer than a gold spirit. In essence, it was also a strengthening of the metal spirit root.

To make a simple comparison, after obtaining the gantian true body, Lu Weiwen didn't have heaven spiritual roots, but was more like heaven spiritual roots!

In this way, even though the Lu clan was under Lu Qing's protection, they had produced several juniors who seemed to be as talented as Yu Weiwen and Wenen. There were five to seven people with double spiritual roots. Among them, three of them had double spiritual roots with the lightning attribute.

However, Weiwen and Wenen were still the two most important people in the family's younger generation.

One had a heaven spirit root and the other had a gantian true body.

There was nothing much to say. The two of them did not need to do anything when they were breaking through to the initial enlightenment stage. Lu Qing did not even need to prepare an exchange item for them to break through bottlenecks. If they were to break through by force, the probability of them breaking through would be more than 80%.

This was the ability of the heaven spirit root and the gantian true body.

Even when they broke through to the Golden core stage, the two of them would have a much smaller problem. If he didn't make an external elixir, he might not succeed in one try. If he couldn't do it once, he could do it two or three times. Moreover, with this kind of talent and fast cultivation speed, they would have a very sufficient lifespan to break through to the Golden core stage.

This advantage in cultivation talent could even be maintained until the Yuanying stage.

In fact, in some major sects and forces, the heavenly spirit was basically a nascent soul seedling. For those with heavenly spirit root or the same talent, as long as they didn't die early, the probability of them reaching Jindan was almost zero, and the probability of them reaching Yuanying was also fifty-fifty.

This was extremely terrifying.

It was a pity that heaven spirit root or heaven true body level of talent was really hard to see in hundreds of years.

The fortunate thing was that Lu Qing could use various methods to create clansmen with such talents in the Lu clan!

Now, Lu Qing was thinking that the younger generation of the clan could grow faster and faster.

If the Lu family had several golden core cultivators, the hope of his revival as an ancestor would be greater and greater.

……

This time, Lu Qing noticed something else other than the direct income of karma and the income from the rare exchange tab.

He had already accumulated 14000 karma in the total prize pool for this war.

Before he had activated the revival exchange tab and defeated the two monster Kings, this number had only been slightly over 10000. After this battle, it had become so much.

Most importantly, based on the current situation in the North barren forest, Kong Tong was heavily injured. He was probably on his way back to the Qingfeng sect. Lu Qing even thought maliciously that he would be very happy if he was robbed by the demons halfway.

And he himself had even displayed his divine might on the battlefield.

If that was the case, the Lu family's right to speak in the entire war would become unprecedented. They could even decide the direction of the war with one word.

Lu Qing wanted to end this war.

The Army of cultivators in the Feiyun state was meant to contain the enemy, but in the end, they killed two of the four demon Kings in the North barren forest.

Even on the main battlefield of the Western Front, they had not achieved such a result, right?

No one could say anything when the cultivator Army of the Feiyun state chose to retreat. Instead, they could only give them a thumbs up.

If the war continued, it would be difficult for the Lu clan to gain anything.

At the eastern border of the North barren forest, all the valuable strategic targets had been cleared out. What was left were either small gathering places of the demon race or small groups of demon beasts that had been scattered and scattered after the previous battles.

In this case, there was no need to send an Army to clear them out. It would take time and effort to find them in the vast jungle, but the key was that there was too little profit.

As for a more valuable target, he would have to go deeper into the northern wilderness forest if he wanted to find one.

If the Suan ni Army continued fighting like this, with the loss of two great demon kings, the Feiyun state's cultivator group would no longer be treated as a side force. They might even be treated as the main force.

How could the Army of cultivators in the Feiyun state have such a right? Lu Qing was no longer around. Even if he was around, what would he do if the demon Emperor of the North barren forest personally went up?

No matter how good Lu Qing was at fighting above his level, he would be able to fight a peak-stage Demon King that was three levels above him. How could he fight against a fifth-level true demon Emperor that was equivalent to a nascent soul realm cultivator? Even if he cheated, he would not be able to win. He would probably be slapped to death by the other party with a light slap.

In fact, after Yin Liang and lang Luan died on the eastern Battlefront, Lu Qing was a little worried about the arrival of the demon sovereign. If it wasn't for the fact that Jin country's attack was also in full swing on the Western Front, causing the demon Emperor ‘Guo Li' of the North barren forest to be unable to spare any time, Jin country would have really come.

Since it was useless to stay at the moment, and it was dangerous to continue attacking, there was no need to continue. They should retreat as soon as possible, end the war, and get the 14000 or so karma in the prize pool. That was the most reliable way.

……

“En, I agree with brother Lu's words,”

Hai Sande gave his answer while rubbing his chin.

At this moment, the cultivator Army of the Feiyun state was having a military meeting.

The three armies had already gathered.

There were 1500 cultivators in the North Army, and there were over 1000 who returned alive. The Northwest Legion led by hai Sande had more survivors, a total of 1300 people. The main reason was that they had not encountered any difficult battles. Of course, they suffered the least losses, and their battle results were also the least.

The West Army was the most miserable. Originally, the three thousand sect elites were high-spirited, but only seven hundred of them had returned.

They had accumulated quite a lot of gains before, but after this battle, they had lost 70%.

Of course, for many ordinary cultivators, whether they were alive or dead, their merits would not be reduced. Furthermore, if the cultivators who died in battle had friends and family, they would be given a sum of compensation.

This sum of money would be taken from the spoils of the West Army. If it wasn't enough, the sect's reserves would make up for it.

What else could he do? The West and North troops would not give them a chance.

Moreover, the West Army no longer had any say in the General Meeting. Although Yun Xuan was sitting there, he could only listen.

Hence, when Lu chaoxi suggested that his father, Lu Qing, withdraw his troops and return to the Feiyun state during the military meeting, no one objected.

Hai Sande was the first to agree.

Whether or not he was satisfied with the gains he, the hai family, and the main hai family had made in this war, he could not object to the withdrawal of the Army. He had thought it through very clearly. Since he had no choice, he would have to back out eventually. He might as well not struggle and just accept it.

In fact, when he received the news of the battle at the Western Front, he was really shocked.

Wang Ben, whose cultivation base was similar to his, and whose actual combat strength was probably even stronger than his, had died just like that. Senior brother Kong Tong, who had suppressed him for so many years, was now seriously injured and unconscious. He had yet to wake up, and it was likely that he did not have many years left to live.

The two peak-stage demon kings who had caused this were both killed by Lu Qing in one battle.

What was Lu Qing's strength?

He had not witnessed this scene, but from the information he had heard from Yun Xuan and the Crown Prince, li Chengzong, he had felt a deep fear.

This kind of fear was not the kind that needed to be eliminated quickly. Instead, it was the kind of fear that did not dare to have the slightest thought of being hostile.

“I thought that I could make fun of senior brother Kong Tong just because he was gone. Who knew that Lu Qing would be so powerful! Why is my life so bitter!”

Hai Sande sighed in his heart.

The thoughts in ancestor Hai's heart didn't show on his face. His expression was always smiling.

After hearing that hai Sande had no objections, Lu chaoxi's gaze turned to the other person who had a certain amount of authority in the military meeting, the Crown Prince, li Chengzong.

“I don't have any objections either. I'll follow senior Lu's orders,” li Chengzong said with a smile.

Whatever Lu Qing said was true!

Right now, li Chengzong's only thought was to befriend the Lu family. After the three armies had gathered, he had shown himself in front of the Lu clan's cultivators.

As he had deliberately befriended Lu Chaohe, he and Lu Chaohe could be considered friends-the kind of brothers on the surface.

He even tried to get in touch with mingchao after knowing that she was still unmarried.

From what he knew, mingchao was the Apple of patriarch Lu Qing's eye and the youngest daughter of the Chao generation of the Lu family.

He already had the crown prince's wife, but it was not impossible for him to have another concubine.

It would be wonderful if they could be connected by marriage.

Moreover, Lu mingchao was also very good-looking. She was indifferent and quiet, but she was also rather obedient and cute. People really liked her.

However, he did not make much progress. He did not manage to get on Lu mingchao's good side. Mingchao's attitude towards him had always been neutral. At most, he would be slightly more polite for the sake of his status as the Crown Prince.

One time, when he was having tea with Lu Chaohe, Chaohe had vaguely said something like, ” my father seems to have found out that you've been hanging out with ninth sister recently and is a little unhappy. after that, li Chengzong immediately stopped thinking about peach.

To Lu Qing, if li Chengzong really liked mingchao and pursued him with all his heart, he would have nothing to say as his father. However, mingchao had already shown that she was not interested in this kid. If mingchao continued to pester him, Lu Qing, as his father, would naturally be unhappy.

In addition, there was another important point. You already have the crown prince's wife, and you still dare to mess around? You expect my daughter to be your concubine? That's impossible. It's impossible.

……

One and a half months later, the three thousand cultivators who had survived the expedition to the North barren forest returned to the Feiyun state.

Of course, not everyone had retreated.

Two initial enlightenment cultivators from two sects were left at the eastern border of the North barren forest. They were stationed at the original location of the divine Deer Forest with about one to two hundred human cultivators.

On one hand, their existence was to set up multiple Sentry posts. On the other hand, they were responsible for clearing out the surrounding demonic beasts to prevent too many of the demonic beasts that had fled from the previous battles from reaching the boundaries of the Feiyun state.
