Chapter 322 Top Divine Array Master
Although the soul-stealing technique is also very powerful and is a top-level divine technique, it is far inferior to the Soul-Picking Secret Sutra.
Through the soul-stealing technique, Lu Changjing can basically only control the souls of those whose cultivation and strength are weaker than his, while those who are stronger than him can easily break free.
Although there are not many restrictions on quantity, it is difficult to surpass Lu Changjing in terms of quality.
Moreover, the soul-stealing technique can only help him roughly locate the position of the soul-stealing slave, but it cannot help him to know the soul-stealing slave's thoughts and respond in time.
Unlike the soul-picking technique, not only can the position of the soul-picking slave be clearly located, but one can also peek into the soul-picking slave's thoughts and respond in time.
Just like now, if Lu Changjing had noticed in advance that Yang Zhi had the intention of betrayal, he could have dealt with it calmly and prevented him from breaking free from his control.
It wouldn't have been possible for Yang Zhi to break free from his control now, and the place where he broke free was in the Lieyang Divine Capital.
This reminded Lu Changjing of Yang Wei, the ancestor of the Lieyang God Clan. This boy would not go directly to Yang Wei, as that would be troublesome.
Without thinking too much, Lu Changjing immediately rushed towards the Lieyang Divine Capital, and at the same time notified Yang Yuhuan and Yang Kang, asking them to be prepared.
With Lu Changjing's speed, he arrived at the palace of the Lieyang Divine Capital in just a few breaths, and appeared near the Hongri Palace where Yang Wei was, waiting for Yang Zhi's arrival.
But what he didn't expect was that Yang Zhi did not come to find Yang Wei, but went to Yang Yuhuan.
Lu Changjing suddenly remembered something, that is, Yang Zhi and Yang Yuhuan also had a one-night communication. At that time, Yang Yuhuan went to Fengming City to buy a treasure, and Yang Zhi was responsible for receiving her.
During the reception, Yang Yuhuan thought that the young man Yang Zhi was very handsome, so she asked him to sleep with her.
If you count carefully, Yang Yuhuan is the grandmother of Yang Zhi's grandmother. Although not a direct relative, she can be considered a cousin.
As expected of a breeding chicken of the Fiery Sun Clan, he is really merciful everywhere.
Yang Zhi probably felt that Yang Yuhuan, a close elder, was more reliable, so he came to her for help first and explained what had happened before.
But what Yang Zhi didn't know was that his good elder Yang Yuhuan was also Lu Changjing's soul-stealing slave.
So just after he finished talking about this, he was directly controlled by Yang Yuhuan. Lu Changjing then came calmly, and in his desperate eyes, he once again controlled Yang Zhi's soul.
When the soul-stealing technique was performed and the reason behind it was understood, it was discovered that he had accidentally obtained a low-level mysterious talisman, which happened to be able to break through various slavery and control techniques.
Although Lu Changjing deleted his memory, Yang Zhi was smart by nature. He noticed something unusual while continuously supplying resources and treasures to Lu Changjing. After all, what he did now was very different from what many people said about his previous self.
In this situation, Yang Zhi became suspicious. After obtaining this low-level mysterious talisman, he hid himself quietly, found the right opportunity and came to the Lieyang Divine Capital. After breaking the soul control with the help of the low-level mysterious talisman, he immediately came to Yang Yuhuan for help.
However, he didn't expect that he would be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth. He was directly captured by Yang Yuhuan, and then controlled by Lu Changjing again.
After a lesson, Lu Changjing began to delete Yang Zhi's memory in front of Yang Zhi's desperate gaze, and this time he was more thorough.
At the same time, he continued to use a more powerful soul-stealing technique to carry out the light and dark double soul-stealing control. He didn't believe that Yang Zhi could obtain a low-level mysterious talisman to break the soul-stealing control.
It is impossible to give him the chance to pick souls, even though there are big loopholes in the soul-catching control. Yang Zhi is too weak to deserve a soul-picking hook.
After dealing with the treacherous Yang Zhi, it didn't take long for Lu Changjing to conceive the ninth soul-picking hook, and his soul-picking technique was also improved to perfection, with its power further increased dramatically.
In this way, Lu Changjing has one more soul-picking quota, but it is still too few. He is already considering whose soul-picking hook to take away and replace it with soul-stealing technique.
In terms of strength and cultivation, Yang Kang is naturally the first choice, but he is the Divine Emperor of the Lieyang Divine Dynasty and his position is extremely critical. Unless he has to, Lu Changjing is not willing to easily switch to the soul-stealing technique.
Then we can only choose from those top gods and demons. The strength of the mountain giant and the white tiger is relatively weak. We will see whether we should switch to soul-stealing later to make room to enslave better servants.
After returning to Baiyujing, Lu Changjing continued his practice and occasionally went to Shu Chang to communicate. He learned more about formations from her and got closer and closer to becoming a top formation master.
After her cultivation level was raised, Shu Chang was promoted to an intermediate divine formation master. However, she also mastered many skills of advanced and top divine formation masters. The only ones that required a higher level of cultivation were those she had not yet mastered.
If there were no such requirements, perhaps she would have been able to break through to the top level of divine formation master.
As the saying goes, when golden wind and jade dew meet, they are better than countless things in the world.
When they were making spiritual connection, their bodies would also communicate unconsciously. The Dragon and Phoenix Secret Technique, the Marrow Washing Secret Technique... were operating effectively. Along with the ups and downs of the beautiful woman's body, Lu Changjing's body was also rising and falling.
This requires a specific rhythm to achieve the greatest benefit.
Because practice makes perfect, while taking both into consideration, Lu Changjing was also eagerly absorbing Shu Chang's memories, especially those about formations.
Different from many times before, this time when he was absorbing, accompanied by a roar, Lu Changjing, who had turned into a sage, was in a trance, immersed in Shu Chang's memories and insights.
A flash of inspiration!
Again and again and again...an epiphany!
Ever since he acquired the ability of flash of inspiration, Lu Changjing had more and more sudden realizations. Especially with the continued growth of his immortal physique, the power of his flash of inspiration seemed to have been enhanced to a certain extent.
In this state of enlightenment, Lu Changjing's understanding and improvement of the formation cultivation reached an extreme, far exceeding the normal situation, and it was completely incomparable. At the same time, he naturally transmitted the content of the enlightenment to Shu Chang, making Shu Chang immersed in it and not knowing where she was.
Although he did not have a sudden realization, he still gained huge benefits. At the same time, he actively practiced the Dragon and Phoenix Secret Technique, which led to Lu Changjing's improvement.
The magic array technique that originally required some time to break through, under the effect of sudden enlightenment, was unstoppable. After only a cup of tea, it broke through the shackles and reached a new level.
Top-level divine formation master!
This is the highest level of divine formation master known in the land of Shenzhou. Once Lu Changjing steps into it, it means that his formation strength has already ranked among the top few in the land of Shenzhou.
Going further up is the realm of the Xuan Array Master. Once you are promoted, you can activate the real Zhoutian Star Array and protect the entire Baiyujing.
At that time, even if demons and monsters from the outside world invade, Lu Changjing and the human race will have the power to resist.
The epiphany continued, and Lu Changjing was still immersed in Shu Chang's insights and memories. Even his body was intoxicated. He had unconsciously given everything to Shu Chang, without keeping anything for himself. It could be said that he had taught Shu Chang everything he knew.
Shu Chang's comprehension of the art of formations has reached a level above that of top-level divine formation masters. After all, she has already comprehended the Zhoutian Formation Classic and several divine formation classics, as well as other mysterious formation classics, which have now been absorbed by Lu Changjing at an astonishing speed through his sudden enlightenment.
By the time the epiphany was over, Lu Changjing had not only stabilized his attainments as a top-level divine formation master, but had also made great progress in this area, getting closer and closer to a higher level.
After leaving Shu Chang's body, Lu Changjing began to try to set up a top-level divine formation, and he set it up easily as expected. This also meant that Lu Changjing truly entered the ranks of top-level divine formation masters.
While busy with his cultivation, Lu Changjing did not forget to manage the forces under his command and to understand the land of China.
At the same time, they are also looking for suitable targets for enslavement, hoping to further expand their power and obtain a large amount of resources and treasures.
The soul-picking technique is indeed a very rogue mysterious technique. As long as the enemy's soul is taken away and controlled, it is easy to plunder the resources and treasures accumulated by the enemy over the years, thus saving Lu Changjing a lot of time and energy.
Perhaps it is because this enslavement technique is too rogue and unreasonable, so there are many restrictions. Although the soul-picking technique is powerful, there are too few places for soul-picking slaves.
Although the soul-stealing technique is a bit weak and has many loopholes, there are many targets whose souls can be captured. The two can be said to be two extremes, but they can complement each other cleverly.
The soul-catching slaves and soul-picking slaves under his command naturally obeyed Lu Changjing's orders obediently and had been paying attention to this matter. However, with Lu Changjing's current level of cultivation, his requirements for the soul-picking slaves were getting higher and higher. It was not so easy to find suitable targets.
Therefore, if he could meet a suitable target, Lu Changjing would not let him go easily, such as the Half-Mysterious Demon God, the Chaos Demon Ape, who is also another deputy leader of the Human-Extermination Alliance.
The news was provided by the Half-Mysterious Demon God, the Five-clawed Golden Dragon, who said that the Chaos Demon Ape was attacking the Hundred Fruit Mountain and that he had been planning for a long time before this. With one move, he broke through the group of divine formations on the Hundred Fruit Mountain and was about to take over the place.
Baiguo Mountain is the headquarters of the Xuanyao Sect and is also the place where many earth veins, water veins and spiritual veins converge. Although it is not as important as Tianzhu Mountain, it is also a key node known to everyone.
Once this place is breached, the Kyushu barrier will be greatly weakened again, and the time of being breached will be further advanced.
This place is rich in all kinds of spiritual fruits and magical fruits, so it is called the Hundred Fruit Mountain. It covers an area of tens of millions of square kilometers and is located in the central and southern part of the land of China.
The plan to deal with the Xuan Yao Sect was solely undertaken by the Chaos Demon Ape, who did not tell other demons and monsters, so even the Five-clawed Golden Dragon, the Water Dragon King, and others did not receive the news.
It was not until the Demonic Ape started to take action and caused a huge commotion that the Five-clawed Golden Dragon learned about this.
According to the news from the five-clawed golden dragon, the reason for this was probably because the previous plan of Tianzhu Mountain was leaked, causing heavy losses to the Annihilation Alliance.
Although the plan was ultimately successful, too much effort was put into it and the intended goals were not achieved.
The Demonic Ape learned from his previous lesson. Before attacking Baiguo Mountain, he did not tell any demons or monsters. Only he and a few of his confidants knew about it.
It just so happened that among these confidants, there were no top-level gods and demons who were enslaved and controlled by Lu Changjing.
Fortunately, Lu Changjing was fast enough. Even though he knew about this a step late, he crossed tens of thousands of miles and arrived near Baiguo Mountain in just a few breaths.
He used his power of size to transform into a small man of a few centimeters, and with the help of Tianhuan Jie, he hid his form and easily entered the Hundred Fruit Mountain.
At this moment, the defensive formations of Baiguo Mountain have been breached. A large number of demons and monsters above level ten rushed into the headquarters of Xuan Yao Sect, wantonly killing the disciples of Xuan Yao Sect here.
However, both sides in the fight were quite careful, and deliberately avoided the many spiritual fruits, magical fruits, and medicinal fields in Baiguo Mountain. It was obvious that the Demonic Ape had ideas about these good things.
Not to mention the Xuan Yao Sect. After all, it was cultivated by himself with great effort, so how could he be willing to destroy it easily?
The Demonic Ape also specifically reminded all his subordinates to avoid those spiritual fruits and magical fruits, and even had people protect them to prevent them from being destroyed by the desperate Xuan Yao Sect.
Faced with an alliance of annihilation whose power far exceeded theirs, even though the Demonic Ape had not yet made a move, the Xuan Yao Sect was unable to resist and was on the verge of having their last resistance destroyed, with no power to fight back.
"Nine Dragon Thorns!"
At a certain moment, Lu Changjing, who was already close to the Demonic Ape, suddenly attacked. He exerted the power of the low-level mysterious weapon Nine Dragon Thorns to the extreme, and directly broke through the defense of the Demonic Ape, whose soul was protected by a top-level artifact. The soul-picking technique followed closely, and was about to take away a wisp of the Demonic Ape's three souls and seven spirits.
"Um……"
But just when his three souls and seven spirits were about to be taken away, the Demon Ape seemed to sense something and suddenly mobilized the power of his soul, ready to use the secret technique of cutting off its tail to survive. He was determined to escape this disaster even if his soul was severely damaged.
