Chapter 374: Join the Secret Alliance and experience the feeling of being poor again!
Lu Changsheng left Jiexin City, and he urged the Water Palace to hurry on.
Eight months later, Lu Changsheng arrived at the headquarters of the Secret Alliance, the Secret City!
Along the way, Lu Changsheng did not encounter any trouble.
When Lu Changsheng saw the Secret City in the distance, a trace of surprise appeared on his face.
He just used his consciousness to scan.
There was nothing in front.
But Lu Changsheng could clearly see a huge city in front with his naked eyes.
Obviously, this Secret City is very strange.
It can only be seen with the naked eye.
As for other senses, they cannot be sensed at all.
Lu Changsheng changed his height and appearance.
Even his aura changed.
He became a ancestor with a strong body.
However, this aura is only at the top level of the ancestor, and has not reached the strongest ancestor.
The Secret Alliance does not restrict ordinary ancestors from joining.
Naturally, Lu Changsheng does not need to be so high-profile.
Everyone who enters the Secret Alliance hides their identity and is extremely low-key.
Lu Changsheng flew to the Secret City.
This secret city actually has only one gate at the entrance.
And there is a gatekeeper.
Lu Changsheng sensed that the gatekeeper was also a top ancestor.
When entering the gate, Lu Changsheng only exuded a trace of the breath of the ancestor, which was equivalent to being recognized.
Then, the gatekeeper gave Lu Changsheng a mask.
The mask is called the Thousand Illusion Mask.
Once put on, it can restrain all the breath and no one can see through it.
The appearance can also change in a thousand ways, as you like.
Even changing life is no problem.
It is really amazing.
However, this Thousand Illusion Mask must be returned to the Secret City before leaving.
Lu Changsheng put on the mask and kept changing his appearance.
Although Lu Changsheng's physical body can also change its appearance, it is undoubtedly more convenient with the Thousand Illusion Mask.
Lu Changsheng successfully entered the Secret City.
As soon as he arrived in the Secret City, Lu Changsheng was shocked by the prosperous scene in front of him.
In Lu Changsheng's imagination, all the secret alliances that hide their identities should be a place full of filth, and everyone is extremely cautious and insidious.
But the situation in the Secret City is completely different.
It is extremely prosperous.
It is more prosperous than any place Lu Changsheng has ever seen.
Moreover, the things sold are also unscrupulous.
No one will ever ask about the source of the items.
Anyway, just trade.
And not only sell treasures, but also some hired tasks.
Very direct, hire a master to kill a certain powerful person, etc.
Even hire a master to destroy a certain force, etc.
Many of the tasks are aimed at the strongest ancestors.
"It's really... eye-opening."
Lu Changsheng murmured in a low voice.
So bold, so prosperous, so unscrupulous.
But think about it carefully, it's actually normal.
It's because everyone in the Secret City hides their identity, and no one knows who the other party is.
Then what will everyone be afraid of when doing business?
There is no fear at all.
The prosperity of this secret city is probably beyond the reach of the three major forces of the Ascension Alliance, the Strongest Holy Hall, and the Heavenly Realm Association combined.
This is the advantage of the secret city.
However, in the secret city, the hard currency is still the fragments of the avenue.
Lu Changsheng even saw fairy things.
But the selling price is as high as hundreds of avenue fragments.
This is simply robbing...
No, it's not so much even if you rob.
But things are precious because they are rare.
Maybe there are really people who can't wait to need fairy things?
In the heart of the world, Lu Changsheng saw that the ancestral realm only bought fairy things with ten avenue fragments.
It's just that no one is willing to trade.
Anyway, as long as you want, there is nothing you can't get in the secret city.
At this moment, Lu Changsheng is really eager.
But he is too poor.
Not even a piece of avenue fragment.
Although Lu Changsheng is already the owner of the sky city, he still feels very poor in the secret city.
The word "poor", how long has Lu Changsheng not experienced it?
Unexpectedly, now that I have become the strongest ancestor, I have experienced the taste of "poverty" again.
"No, I have to find a way to earn Dao fragments."
"Moreover, after earning Dao fragments, I can't refine them easily anymore, I have to save them."
"Otherwise, if I encounter some treasures that I urgently need, I can't get them without Dao fragments..."
Lu Changsheng's eyes flashed with a gleam of brilliance.
He now has three immortal ways.
Which immortal way has the highest progress?
Naturally, it is the physical immortal way.
Lu Changsheng's physical immortal way has already reached a terrifying 83%.
It only needs to increase the progress by 18% to be complete.
At that time, Lu Changsheng can even try to impact the fairyland.
However, this 83% progress seems to be stagnant.
It is actually useless for Lu Changsheng to refine some blood and powerful life.
Lu Changsheng has almost understood that only by refining the real fairyland level of flesh and blood can the progress be improved.
But, apart from the corpse of Kuiniu, where can one find a flesh body of the fairyland level?
Before, Lu Changsheng thought there was no chance.
But now that he has come into contact with the Secret City, Lu Changsheng feels that there is a chance.
As long as there are fragments of the Dao, enough fragments of the Dao.
In the secret alliance, perhaps one can find flesh and blood of the fairyland level.
But, how to earn fragments of the Dao?
This is a difficult problem.
The original Qingtian ancestor should have relied on the Sky City to earn avenue fragments bit by bit.
That method can indeed earn a certain amount of avenue fragments.
However, I'm afraid it will take a long time and must be accumulated slowly.
And even Ancestor Qingtian didn’t accumulate many avenue fragments in the end.
Lu Changsheng needs more than a tiny fragment of the avenue.
He needs a lot of avenue fragments.
It’s definitely not possible to accumulate slowly.
Have to find another way.
Therefore, Lu Changsheng kept wandering around the secret city.
About three days later, Lu Changsheng's eyes lit up.
He saw a mission.
A black-clothed ancestral realm is looking for a formation master.
And he is the kind of formation master who is good at breaking formations.
The pay is pretty good.
As long as you accept the mission, you will be given ten avenue fragments.
Even if you complete the task, you can get generous rewards.
But as for what kind of reward and how much reward, you have to seriously discuss it with the other party.
"The task of ten avenue fragments must not be simple."
"Moreover, what the other party needs is a formation master, and I am not a formation master."
"However, although I am not a formation master, if I just break the formation, a formation master cannot compare to me..."
Lu Changsheng was very confident.
He is not a master of formations, but he follows the mortal path.
He has the ability to analyze the immortal world.
Can analyze all things, rules, etc.
What does it mean to analyze mere formations?
Therefore, Lu Changsheng no longer hesitated and walked over.
"Fellow Taoist, do you need to find a formation master?"
Lu Changsheng asked.
"That's right. Are you a formation master?"
the man in black asked.
He was even looking Lu Changsheng up and down.
Of course, both sides were disguised by the Thousand Fantasy Masks.
Even if you look at it, you can't see anything.
Lu Changsheng did not comment and answered directly: "What formation do you want to break?"
The man in black said calmly: "No matter what formation I want to break, if you really want to take on this task, you must first prove whether you are a master of the formation?"
"How to prove it?"
"This is simple. I have a set of formations. If you fellow Taoist can break the formation, that's it."
"Break the formation? Easy to say, is there a time limit?"
"About a month."
Lu Changsheng nodded and agreed to the entire request.
This can also be regarded as the "assessment" of the man in black.
Only after passing the "assessment" of the man in black and allowing the man in black to recognize Lu Changsheng's ability will the other party agree to Lu Changsheng taking on this task.
"Okay, fellow Taoist, please come with me."
So, Lu Changsheng followed the man in black and walked towards a cave in a secret city.
In the Secret City, no one needs to worry about safety.
Anyone who dares to take action in the Secret City will definitely die without exception!
Even the strongest ancestral realm is the same.
Soon, Lu Changsheng entered the cave of the man in black.
In the cave, the man in black introduced himself: "Fellow Taoist, my surname is Lin."
"Fellow Daoist Lin, my surname is Lu."
The two of them just said a last name.
But it is not clear whether it is the real surname.
Anyway, in the Secret City, it is impossible for anyone to use their real name, and their identity must be hidden all the time.
"Friend Lu Dao, there is a magic circle in my cave."
"However, this magic circle can trap the strongest ancestral realm. It is not that easy to break. It is limited to one month to break. Do you have any problems, fellow Daoist Lu?"
The man in black directly revealed the reality of the magic circle in the cave.
Lu Changsheng narrowed his eyes slightly.
A magic circle that can easily trap the strongest ancestral realm?
This kind of magic circle is not bad.
Even quite powerful.
And those who can easily pull out such a large formation are probably not weak in strength, and are probably in the strongest ancestral realm!
However, Lu Changsheng didn't care whether the other party was in the strongest ancestral realm.
Anyway, now you have to pass the other party's "assessment" first.
"no problem."
Lu Changsheng nodded in agreement.
"Okay, then Lin will activate the magic circle."
So, the man in black directly activated the formation.
"boom".
The formation is coming.
This is a large formation that can trap the strongest ancestral realm, how can it be taken lightly?
Lu Changsheng and the man in black were sitting cross-legged face to face just now, but when the formation came, Lu Changsheng lost his sense of the man in black.
It was as if the man in black had disappeared.
Lu Changsheng knew that the man in black did not disappear, but that he was blocked by the formation or his perception was distorted.
Lu Changsheng stood up.
He was now in a dense forest.
Where is there even half a hint of a cave?
"Illusion array?"
"It doesn't seem like it, but can the formation change the world?"
Lu Changsheng stretched out his hand and then slapped it toward the forest below.
"Boom."
The forest was leveled to the ground by Lu Changsheng's palm.
But that's all.
In the blink of an eye, the forest returned to its original state.
However, this only activated the formation and did not attack Lu Changsheng.
After all, this was just a test of Lu Changsheng's ability to "break the formation".
Lu Changsheng knew very well that it was impossible to break through it with his own formation skills.
Can only rely on analysis.
"I only have one month..."
Lu Changsheng knew that time was running out.
So, he stopped hesitating, started to sit cross-legged, and directly used the Red Dust Immortal Analysis method to start analyzing this array.
Time passed day by day.
As Lu Changsheng continued to analyze.
The secret of this array was gradually mastered by Lu Changsheng.
Analyzing a world, analyzing immortal things, analyzing immortal treasures, etc., are actually quite difficult.
However, analyzing a magic array that can trap the strongest ancestor realm is not a problem for Lu Changsheng at all.
His current progress in the Red Dust Immortal Path has reached 60%.
With Lu Changsheng's analysis ability, it is easy to completely analyze this magic array.
It doesn't take a month.
In just three days, Lu Changsheng succeeded in analyzing.
"Shua".
Lu Changsheng opened his eyes.
At this moment, in Lu Changsheng's eyes, this magic array no longer has any mysteries.
"Break!"
Lu Changsheng shouted softly.
Suddenly, the magic array was like the ripples of water, with circles of ripples spreading in all directions.
As the ripples spread, the surrounding environment also changed rapidly.
Lu Changsheng raised his head and saw the man in black again.
From beginning to end, the man in black had never left.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, how is it?"
Lu Changsheng spoke slowly.
"Three days! Fellow Daoist Lu actually broke the magic array in just three days."
"This is more than a master of formations? It is simply superb. In the field of formations, Lin has never seen a cultivator stronger than Fellow Daoist Lu."
The man in black felt his eyes light up.
His tone also revealed amazement.
Breaking the magic array in three days was really beyond the man in black's expectations.
Lu Changsheng smiled and said, "Does Lu pass Fellow Daoist Lin's assessment?"
"Yes, of course!"
The man in black was very sure.
If this doesn't count as passing the assessment, then what counts as passing the assessment?
"Fellow Daoist Lin, what exactly is this mission for? I need to know a little bit about it, so I can have a clear idea."
Lu Changsheng asked directly without being polite.
Although Lu Changsheng was very confident and full of confidence.
But he didn't want to take risks casually.
Especially for this mission, it seems to be well-rewarded.
But the more generous the reward, the more you need to understand it clearly.
Otherwise, the consequences will be serious.
"That's natural."
"Fellow Daoist Lu accepted the mission, and I will naturally inform you of the mission."
"This mission is actually related to an ancient cave..."
Then, the man in black gave a detailed introduction to the specific situation of this mission.
It turned out that the man in black found a cave.
According to the investigation of the man in black, this cave is probably a cave from the ancient times, which is too long ago.
It is very likely that it is the cave of a great immortal in the ancient times.
You must know that in the ancient times, the heaven and the sea were not completely disconnected.
Not only can the road to heaven go to the heaven, but even the heaven can pass through the road to heaven, and occasionally there are great immortals coming.
Or some fairy spirits flowed from the heaven into the boundary sea.
The boundary sea at that time was extremely prosperous.
Not to mention that fairyland masters were everywhere, but fairyland masters were indeed quite common.
Unlike now, whether there are fairyland masters in the boundary sea is a secret.
Therefore, it is really possible to find a cave of a fairyland master from the ancient times.
After all, it is not just one or two caves of fairyland masters from the ancient times found in the boundary sea.
Often in the cave, if you are lucky, you can find fairy spirits.
There may even be fairy treasures.
In short, a cave of a fairyland master has many benefits.
Strictly speaking, Lu Changsheng's water palace is actually a cave of a fairyland master.
It's just not the ancient times.
Lu Changsheng got the water palace, and the benefits are really great.
Although the man in black found the cave of the fairyland master, he just couldn't get in.
The cave is protected by a magic array.
That's the magic array of the fairyland master.
Trapping the strongest ancestor is a small matter. Even if one is not careful, the strongest ancestor will die in the magic array of the cave of the immortal realm.
The man in black tried to study it and soon gave up.
It would be impossible for him to break the cave even if he spent ten thousand or one hundred thousand years alone.
Therefore, the man in black thought of finding a master of formations to break the cave formation together.
"Daoyou Lu, what do you think?"
"If you agree to break the formation, Lin will give Daoyou Lu ten pieces of the Great Dao fragments."
"Once we break the magic array and enter the cave, we can also swear not to kill each other. All the treasures we get will be divided equally!"
The man in black stated his conditions.
This condition seemed to make Lu Changsheng suffer a lot.
After all, he broke the formation and took the risk.
The result is that it can only be divided equally?
But think about it.
If the man in black did not provide the location of the cave, Lu Changsheng would not be able to find the cave of the immortal realm of the ancient times.
It's actually fair to divide equally.
Of course, the premise is that Lu Changsheng can break the cave formation.
"Okay."
"Lu agrees."
Lu Changsheng didn't think about it for too long.
With such a cave, it is possible to find fairy things or even fairy treasures.
Such things are hard to come by.
Lu Changsheng would naturally not refuse.
"Daoyou Lu is a quick-witted person, so swear by your Dao heart first."
Therefore, both parties swore an oath with Taoism.
This kind of oath is actually very binding.
Once it is violated, the Dao will be defective.
It will be difficult to go further in the future.
Of course, nothing is absolute, and some people take risks for the sake of profit and would rather break their oaths.
But those who break their oath are few.
Especially for the ancestral realm.
If you break your oath and want to achieve the fairyland, it will be almost impossible.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, when will we set off?"
Lu Changsheng asked.
Lu Changsheng couldn't wait to see such a powerful cave in a fairyland from the ancient times.
"In three days."
Lu Changsheng nodded.
Time flies, and three days pass quickly.
Lu Changsheng and the man in black left the Secret City and entered the depths of the Boundary Sea.
The two of them didn't hide their clumsiness, and actually each controlled the fairy treasure.
Yes, the men in black also have fairy treasures.
Although immortal treasures are very precious, it is not surprising to have immortal treasures in the strongest ancestral realm.
During the time the two of them had been together, they actually already had a rough idea of the situation on both sides.
They are all in the strongest ancestral realm!
Lu Changsheng had no intention of hiding it.
Sometimes, showing one's strength is actually to avoid trouble.
Both of them are in the strongest ancestral realm, so their status and status are equivalent.
When there is a dispute over interests, they will be more "cautious" and not have any twisted thoughts.
The two of them flew for about a full year before they arrived at the location of the Taikoo Cave.
"stop."
"The Taikoo Cave is right here."
The man in black stopped.
"Is the cave here?"
Lu Changsheng frowned slightly.
He looked around, but it was still empty. Where was the ancient cave?
Even Lu Changsheng suddenly became more vigilant.
Could it be that the man in black was deceiving him?
Is the purpose to rob and kill him?
It's not impossible.
However, this possibility is too small.
Robbery and kill a supreme ancestor?
That's too difficult.
No one would be so stupid as to spend a lot of time to rob and kill the strongest ancestral realm.
Seemingly sensing Lu Changsheng's doubts, the man in black smiled and said: "Friend Lu, the Taikoo Cave is indeed here, but some conditions are needed to see the Taikoo Cave."
After the man in black said that, he took out a token from his hand.
There are various mysterious and complex patterns on the token.
As the man in black urged the token.
"Buzz".
The token began to vibrate.
At the same time, the token sent out ripples in circles.
After the ripples passed, something vaguely "emerged" in the void of the originally empty Boundary Sea.
Lu Changsheng opened his eyes wide.
What did he see?
In the empty void of the boundary sea, a cave gradually appeared.
This cave seemed to appear out of thin air. There was no cave before.
However, now this cave is so grand, huge and mysterious.
It even exudes a hint of fairy spirit.
This is the spirit of a fairy.
Except for fairy treasures, fairy things, or the corpses of great powers in the fairy world.
What else can exude fairy spirit?
Therefore, even if this cave is not a cave from the ancient times, it is probably related to the great power of the fairyland.
Otherwise, there would be no fairy spirit at all.
"This token..."
Lu Changsheng was thoughtful.
The man in black smiled and said: "This token is actually a visitor's token. Only the person holding this token can come to this cave to visit the owner of the cave."
"But that's all, you can only visit. Only with the owner's consent will the cave be opened and you can enter the cave."
"There is no one in the cave now. Even if we have a visitor order, we cannot enter the cave. We can only go outside the cave and see the cave appear."
Lu Changsheng was a little surprised.
Just a visitor order?
It may seem like a visitor order is of little use, but it is actually very useful.
At least it can make the cave appear.
Without the visitor order, this cave cannot be revealed.
Lu Changsheng had already sensed it just now.
There is no way to sense the cave at all.
In other words, without the visitor order, he would not be able to make the cave appear.
"This cave is really magical. Is this the reason for the magic formation in the cave?"
Lu Changsheng vaguely guessed why this cave was so mysterious.
Magic circle!
This must be the reason for the magic circle.
"Yes, it should be the magic circle."
"This magic circle that covers the cave is very special. Now the cave is manifested, but we can't enter."
"Fellow Daoist Lu, it depends on you whether we can break the formation next."
The man in black looked at Lu Changsheng, his eyes full of expectation.
"Lu understands."
Lu Changsheng nodded.
It is obviously not that simple to break through the formation of this cave.
However, this is what he came to do.
Moreover, this is a fairyland level formation.
For Lu Changsheng, it was also a great gain.
Once this formation is analyzed, Lu Changsheng will not only be able to deploy this formation, but his progress in the world of immortality will also soar.
This kind of good thing can only come by chance, so why would Lu Changsheng give up?
"Fellow Daoist Lin, please wait a moment. Lu will start breaking the formation, but it may take a long time. It could be months or even years."
Lu Changsheng said truthfully.
Although his analytical ability is very strong, this is a fairyland level formation after all.
Lu Changsheng also had to act very cautiously.
I'm afraid it's not that easy to analyze.
It takes time, that's for sure.
"Can Fellow Daoist Lu break the formation?"
The man in black was overjoyed.
"It can be broken!"
"About how sure are you?"
"Seventy to eighty percent."
Lu Changsheng said a vague number.
In fact, according to Lu Changsheng's wishes.
As long as you give him time, he will be able to break through the formation.
Not 70% to 80%, but 100%!
But you certainly can’t say the same about the man in black.
"That's really nice."
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Lu, break the formation. Lin will stay here and not let anyone disturb Fellow Daoist Lu."
The man in black said decisively and in a firm tone.
He was overjoyed.
70% to 80% sure?
Doesn’t that mean that you can basically break through the formation?
Although the man in black hopes to invite a formation master.
However, even if the formation master can break through the magic formation at the fairyland level, it is difficult to say.
The man in black really didn't expect that Lu Changsheng would be so sure.
Lu Changsheng finally began to analyze it.
He concentrated on analyzing the fairyland magic circle.
This is the first fairyland magic circle that Lu Changsheng has encountered, and it is indeed extraordinary.
Difficulties were encountered at the beginning of the analysis.
But it doesn't matter, Lu Changsheng now has enough time to analyze it.
What's more, even Kui Niu's corpse has been analyzed, so what does it mean to analyze the fairyland magic circle?
Time passes little by little.
One month, two months, three months, four months, five months...
Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
However, there seemed to be no movement from Lu Changsheng.
The man in black was patient at first.
But half a year has passed, and there has been no change in the cave formation.
The man in black couldn't sit still.
But he still didn't forget his promise and didn't bother Lu Changsheng.
However, he was already a little uneasy.
Do you doubt whether Lu Changsheng can break the formation?
Another half year passed.
A whole year has passed.
Lu Changsheng has actually made more than half of the progress of analyzing the magic circle.
But it still takes a long time to fully analyze it.
One year, two years, three years...
Lu Changsheng did not expect that it would take three years to analyze a fairyland magic circle.
During this period, the man in black made some inquiries, but Lu Changsheng just asked him to wait patiently.
By now, the man in black had completely calmed down.
Because Lu Changsheng has been able to penetrate deeply into the magic circle.
And it hasn't been attacked yet.
This shows that Lu Changsheng is indeed breaking the formation, and it is still effective.
"Boom."
Suddenly, the cave formation shook and made a violent sound.
The man in black was immediately awakened.
He hurriedly looked at Lu Changsheng.
"Shua".
Lu Changsheng, who was originally sitting cross-legged in the void with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes at this time.
His eyes were extremely sharp.
But there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"It's done!"
Lu Changsheng looked at the man in black and said with a smile.
It took three years, but it was finally successful.
He has completely analyzed the fairyland magic circle in Taikoo Cave Mansion.
Nowadays, it is easy for Lu Changsheng to break the formation.
Not only was it as simple as breaking the formation, but the entire formation was under Lu Changsheng's control.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, did you successfully break the formation?"
The man in black asked with a somewhat excited voice.
"Yes, the formation is broken."
Lu Changsheng took a deep breath, then looked at the Taikoo Cave and said slowly: "Open!"
"Boom."
As Lu Changsheng finished speaking, the door to the cave actually opened slowly.
But there was actually no movement in the magic circle at the fairyland level.
This shocked the heart of the man in black.
Where is the broken formation?
This is clearly a counter-attack, completely controlling the magical formations at the fairyland level.
So, the two of them waited quietly.
My heart is also full of expectations.
They also want to see what is in the cave?
As the cave door opens.
A strong aura of fairy spirit rushed towards his face.
The two of them opened their eyes suddenly.
It was as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
"That's..."
Even Lu Changsheng couldn't help but feel shocked, and his expression suddenly changed.
