Chapter 321 Yang Zhi's Betrayal
Although the Huangji Divine Art System is powerful, as Lu Changjing's cultivation and strength become stronger and stronger, it can no longer keep up with his use.

Just like the previous change of the Huangji Shengong system's exercises to the Jiuyang Xuanong system's exercises, the combat skills and secret techniques should also be replaced one after another.

Looking across the vast land of China, the system that best fits the Nine Yang Mysterious Art system is probably the Nine Dragons Combat Skills System. The two can almost be said to have complementary effects.

Lu Changjing had previously obtained the Nine Dragon Finger from the Daning Dynasty, and now from Ning Tianhai, Lu Changjing has obtained another combat skill that suits him.

Nine Dragon Steps!
A top-level mystical skill that can just take over from the Emperor's Wandering Dragon Step. Before practicing the Nine Dragon Steps to a high enough level, the Emperor's Wandering Dragon Step can also be used as a transition.

He took a step forward and nine dragons followed him, moving at an astonishing speed and as graceful as a blue dragon.

It can be used in conjunction with the Nine Dragon Finger and the Nine Dragon Seal. In addition, there is also a set of Nine Dragon Sword Techniques, but Lu Changjing is not good at using the sword.

We can see in the future whether the essence of it can be integrated into the Imperial Sword Technique.

However, with Lu Changjing's understanding, he can probably only do this when he has an epiphany.

In addition to the Nine Dragon Steps and Nine Dragon Swordsmanship, there are also Nine Dragon Boots and Nine Dragon Armor. Among them, the Nine Dragon Armor can almost be regarded as the most valuable treasure in the Nine Dragon Xuan Armor, which can effectively protect Lu Changjing.

From then on, there is the Nine Dragon Bell to protect the soul, and the Nine Dragon Armor to protect the body. When the two work together, they can exert amazing defensive power.

Coupled with Lu Changjing's Vajra Indestructible Characteristics and Nine Yang Immortal Body, his defense is so strong that he is almost invincible in the realm of gods and demons.

As for whether the Xuanzuns could break through, Lu Changjing was not sure because he had not tried, but it was highly likely that they could not.

The Nine Dragon Boots are compatible with the Nine Dragon Step, allowing the Nine Dragon Step to exert a greater effect. At the same time, they can also assist other body movements and footwork to allow them to burst out with greater power.

As expected of the Ning family's hidden vein, he brought Lu Changjing two low-level mystical weapons, including a Nine Dragon Armor that was worth several pieces.

Coupled with the Nine Dragon Steps and Nine Dragon Sword Technique, the gains this time were truly tremendous.

In addition, there are some low-level Xuan talismans, low-level Xuan pills and Xuan medicines, disposable Xuan weapons passed down by the ancestors of the Ning family... and even a few intermediate Xuan talismans that can save Lu Changjing's life at the critical moment of life and death.

Not to mention those magical elixirs, magical medicines, divine treasures, and divine resources... There are dozens of sets of treasures alone that assist in breaking through the shackles of gods and demons. No wonder the Ning family's hidden veins have had gods and demons for generations. With so many auxiliary magical objects, even if they are piled up, they can bring a grandmaster to the realm of gods and demons.

What's more, the members recruited by Ning's Hidden Vein have talents and qualifications that are basically one in ten thousand. Under such circumstances, it is normal that they can maintain their extraordinary talents.

The Ning family is really generous. Both the visible Ning family and the hidden branch are very wealthy.

He happily looted all the good things from Ning Tianhai, then controlled him with soul-stealing magic and deleted his memory. Only then did he let him go back to deal with the matter of Ning's hidden vein.

The main purpose is to help him continue to plunder resources and treasures, and then transport them to him. As for the members of the Ning family's hidden vein, although they have not been killed, Lu Changjing will also let them work well for him.

Although he slaughtered the descendants of the Daning royal family, the hidden branch of the Ning family had no connection or feelings with the open Daning royal family. It was just a relationship of exploitation.

So Lu Changjing was not worried that they would hate him. Even if they really hated him, Lu Changjing was not afraid.

The matter was handled smoothly, and Lu Changjing continued to practice with peace of mind. For him, this was just a small episode, but it was really unexpected that a small episode could bring him so many benefits.

After going through so many things, I can finally have some peace and quiet for a while. Although these things seem like a lot, they actually didn't take up much time.

For example, the matter of Ning Tianhai only took a few hours, and most of the time was still used by Lu Changjing in cultivation.

It is said that when earth accumulates to form a mountain, wind and rain arise; when water accumulates to form a deep pool, dragons are born; when good deeds accumulate to form virtue, the gods are content and a sage's heart is ready.

At this moment, Lu Changjing is still accumulating, looking forward to breaking through to a higher level as soon as possible.

Therefore, without the accumulation of small steps, one cannot reach a thousand miles; without the accumulation of small streams, one cannot form a river or sea.

A good horse cannot cover ten steps in one leap; a slow horse can travel ten miles in ten days if it keeps going.

If you persevere, the rotten wood will not be broken; if you persevere, the metal and stone can be carved.

Lu Changjing felt that his talent and aptitude were actually quite average. Since the time he traveled through time, he was just an ordinary warrior, and even his body was ruined at that time.

Fortunately, he has perseverance and determination.

As the saying goes, the earthworm has no sharp claws and teeth, nor strong bones, but it eats dust from above and drinks spring water from below, and its mind is focused.

Crabs have six legs and two claws, and they have no place to stay except in the holes of snakes and eels. It is because of this that Lu Changjing was able to climb step by step, accumulate continuously, and improve continuously.

In a trance, the immortal physique has reached about 2,500 points. Starting from 2,000 points, no new characteristics have been awakened every 100 points. It seems that only when it reaches 3,000 points, new characteristics may be awakened, or the old characteristics may be upgraded.

Thinking of the indestructible power of Vajra, Lu Changjing suddenly felt that upgrading the old characteristics seemed to be the most cost-effective and could bring greater improvements.

The indestructible characteristic of Lu Changjing has almost increased his defense to a terrifying level. Even an ordinary Xuanzun would probably be helpless and unable to break Lu Changjing's defense.

With the help of a large number of magical pills, elixirs and rare treasures, just a few months later, Lu Changjing's spirit and energy were elevated to the extreme of the eighth-level god and demon, and he began to impact the ninth-level god and demon.

With amazing defensive power, Lu Changjing did not need to be too careful when breaking through the bottleneck. The first thing he attacked was the bottleneck of body refining. He directly controlled a large amount of Nine Yang Divine Blood and launched an attack towards the bottleneck dam.

In less than an hour, he successfully broke through the bottleneck.

Not long after breaking through the bottleneck of body refining, Lu Changjing broke through the bottlenecks of qi refining and spirit refining one after another, and raised his essence, energy and spirit to the ninth level of gods and demons.

At this moment, his defense is 1.8 million times stronger than that of an ordinary person. With the blessing of his Vajra Indestructibility, it will soar nine times again, reaching 16.2 million times stronger than that of an ordinary person.

If Lu Changjing had not activated the Vajra Indestructible characteristic, he might have hurt himself. But once the Vajra Indestructible characteristic was activated, he could not hurt himself at all.

Maybe that blue bead can work, but Lu Changjing can't use it now.

The strength has reached nearly three million kilograms. With the support of combat skills and mysterious weapons, the destructive power and lethality can soar to more than 300 million kilograms.

If it is further enhanced by the magical powers of Ruyi, its destructive power and killing power will soar further, reaching more than 9 billion kilograms.

In addition, the divine essence and divine soul have also been greatly improved, completely exceeding the limits of ordinary gods and demons. However, because the foundation is too strong, it has not exceeded Lu Changjing's own limit, so it cannot be regarded as a half-profound divine essence and a half-profound divine soul.

Under normal circumstances, the divine body naturally has not yet entered the level of a semi-profound divine body, but the Vajra Indestructible characteristic is too against the will of heaven. After being stimulated, it directly broke through the limit and reached the level of a semi-profound body.

In this case, Lu Changjing only needs to follow the steps to improve his body skills to the ultimate level of gods and demons, and he can naturally break through the limit and continue to improve. He does not need to break the limit like the divine essence and soul.

Because the indestructible characteristics of Vajra have already helped him break and expand his limits, he only needs to continue to improve until the moment when he can no longer improve.

Stepping into the ninth level of the realm of gods and demons has increased Lu Changjing's overall strength by more than several times. It is unknown whether he can be a match for an ordinary Xuanzun with his current strength.

But the probability is not yet, but ordinary Xuan Zuns should not be able to do anything to him.

According to ancient books, there are two completely different levels between Xuanzun and gods and demons. The gap is far greater than the gap between body-refining warriors and Qi-refining masters, and between Qi-refining masters and soul-refining gods and demons. They are simply not the same.

If we really have to use an exact numerical value to express it, the gap between an ordinary Xuanzun and a tenth-level god or demon is at least a hundred times, or even more.

Lu Changjing's cultivation foundation is only twenty times that of the gods and demons of the same level, not yet a hundred times, and he has not experienced the tempering and baptism of heavenly tribulation.

Even if he has mysterious skills, mysterious arts and mysterious weapons, don’t ordinary Xuanzuns have them? Even if he is not as good as Lu Changjing, he should not be too far behind.

Therefore, if Lu Changjing wants to have the strength to compete with ordinary Xuan Zuns, he still has a long way to go, not to mention that he has to deal with more than just ordinary Xuan Zuns.

After breaking through to the ninth level of the God and Demon realm step by step, Lu Changjing consolidated and adapted himself, then went to find Rong Xiyao, Qingqiu Xiaoyu, Fu Shishi, Shu Chang... He had a happy few days, practiced the Dragon and Phoenix Secret Technique well, and then continued to practice peacefully.

During this process, Lu Changjing was also practicing, so he did not delay at all, and now is not the time to delay.

Occasionally, he would go to Zhao Xiaotong, Tan Qingyun, Lin Yixin, Pan Min and others to cleanse their marrow and exchange memories and insights with them to increase his own foundation.

Especially with Zhao Xiaotong and Shu Chang, Lu Changjing gained a lot from every communication, and his understanding of martial arts, combat skills, secret techniques, and even formations and alchemy became deeper and deeper, which made him practice faster.

Of course, Lu Changjing was not stingy during the communication. In addition to the essence of gods and demons, he also transmitted a large amount of memories and insights, allowing these lovers to gain a lot.

Many love skills, combat techniques, secret techniques, etc. also made rapid progress. Some lovers who were good at formations and alchemy also received guidance from Lu Changjing in these areas.

Yang Zhi, who was far away in the Lieyang Divine Capital, actually broke free from the control of the soul-stealing technique, and broke free completely. He broke free from both the light and dark soul-stealing techniques, and thus completely got rid of his control.

Unlike the last time, Cao Wenzhen only broke free from the obvious soul-stealing technique, but was unable to break free from the second hidden soul-stealing technique.
