Chapter 522: Divinity Transformation Game

Thousand Peaks Forest.Before the Allied Army's vanguard camp.

"Halt!" Chen Lingfeng seized two cultivators attempting to sneak away, sternly demanding, "You also wish to plunder the battlefield for spoils?"

The two seized individuals panicked momentarily, then their expressions turned hard and cold.One directly denied, "Of course not! We are going to scout the battlefield, seeking opportunities to strike at other approaching armies from the Two Dynasties Nation."

The other said, "Chen Lingfeng, you have no proof. Cease your slander!"

Chen Lingfeng sneered, about to speak.Just then, a cultivator's figure, like ink seeping into rice paper, rapidly solidified, resolving into a graceful Nascent Soul cultivator.

Upon seeing this Nascent Soul cultivator, the two cultivators blocked by Chen Lingfeng involuntarily showed signs of nervousness."Advisor Lu," one bowed.

The other gritted his teeth and said, "Great Cave Master Lu, we were just about to launch a proactive strike, but Chen Lingfeng is holding us back. Have you appeared now also to prevent us from fighting?"

Chen Lingfeng, seeing them turn the tables, immediately became incensed: "Bastards—"

Lu Hongtu, however, extended a hand to stop him, then smiled and looked at the two leaving the camp: "You may proceed with your actions."

Chen Lingfeng's eyes widened: "Advisor Lu, how can this be? This is already the seventh group to leave. If you don't stop them, there will be no one in the great camp to manage the situation."

Lu Hongtu smiled slightly, slowly shaking his head: "I am merely valued by Esteemed Grandpa Long and appointed as advisor, only offering suggestions, never intending to impose orders on others."

"All of you are members of Thousand Peaks Forest, whether distant friends or close neighbors. Since Esteemed Grandpa Long has not issued orders to restrain everyone, why should we make things difficult for them now?"

Upon hearing this, the two cultivators breathed a sigh of relief, praising Lu Hongtu greatly, and again declaring that they were absolutely going out to fight.

Lu Hongtu did not wish to listen to their lies, and waved his hand at them.The two immediately left the camp.

Chen Lingfeng watched their departing backs, his eagle-like eyes filled with ice coldness: "I wager these two are surely headed to the battlefield to pick up spoils."

Lu Hongtu smiled and remained silent.

Chen Lingfeng was furious: "If Esteemed Grandpa Long returns and sees that the various powerful figures in our camp have run off, how shall we explain ourselves?"

Lu Hongtu laughed heartily: "Calm yourself, calm yourself."

Chen Lingfeng continuously shook his head, unwilling to speak further with Lu Hongtu, and turned to leave.

Lu Hongtu's gaze was distant and melancholic. He slowly walked away from the camp and ascended a nearby hilltop.

The distant mountains lay silent, their ridges undulating, layers upon layers of green bathed in a soft glow from the sun.The mountain wind gently caressed, leaves rustled, and occasionally a few sparrows flitted through the forest, breaking the brief silence.He took a deep breath. The mountain air was fresh, yet carried a hint of inexplicable pressure.

In Lu Hongtu's mind, the great battle of six days prior surfaced.The scene of Ginseng Whisker Dragon King and Du Tiechuan's fierce struggle was deeply etched in his heart.

Lu Hongtu's gaze was distant and melancholic: "Ginseng Whisker Dragon King suffered a minor defeat. Although it may not cause the alliance to disintegrate, hearts are scattered, and some have begun to seek their own prospects."

Many cultivators risked entering the battlefield to scavenge for spoils, which was a manifestation of each seeking their own future."If the wind is favorable, it is well. Once it turns unfavorable, the disadvantage of disunity in the alliance and each having their own selfish desires becomes apparent."

Just then, a figure quietly appeared.The unfamiliar cultivator who appeared bowed to Lu Hongtu, then secretly reported the intelligence he had gathered.

After listening, Lu Hongtu's brows furrowed slightly: "Still no news of the Old Monster in Stone?"

The reporting cultivator wore a look of shame, indicating that he and several dozen others had been fully engaged in scouting and searching, but the Old Monster in Stone seemed to have suddenly evaporated, impossible to find no matter how they searched.

Lu Hongtu nodded slightly, dismissing the reporting cultivator: "Go down, continue the search."

Again, he was left alone, standing on the hilltop.A chill mountain wind brushed against his taut face.His gaze was fixed on a cloud bank above the distant mountains, lost in thought.

"The Old Monster in Stone's unpredictable whereabouts are the most troublesome matter.""He is of the Soul Transformation level! He is the greatest variable affecting this great battle.""Next, will he appear on the battlefield?""According to his recent behavior, quite a few Soul Transformation level treasures have been left behind on the battlefield. This should be a great temptation for the Old Monster in Stone."

Lu Hongtu returned to the great camp and saw the Heaven and Earth Dual Ghosts spreading news everywhere.

"We infiltrated the battlefield and retrieved several Ginseng Dragon Whiskers.""Look, this Ginseng Dragon Blood is extremely rare. Every drop is a superb raw material for making healing pills!"

The white-robed ghost cultivator, Tian Shuang, and the black-robed ghost cultivator, Di Hui, flaunted their gains before the various powerful figures.

Lu Hongtu saw this scene and immediately lifted his foot, stepping into the discussion tent.He smiled slightly: "Two fellow daoists from the Soul Devouring Sect, you have come specifically to spread the word. What is your purpose? Speak your mind. Perhaps we can cooperate."

Other cultivators, seeing it was Lu Hongtu, smiled or nodded in greeting.In the early days of the alliance's formation, it was Lu Hongtu who went around recruiting people. In the course of the clashes, Lu Hongtu repeatedly devised strategies that yielded results. Just now, Lu Hongtu had not followed Chen Lingfeng's suggestion and had released the two cultivators who had sneaked off to the battlefield to scavenge for spoils, which had further won him the favor of the masses.

The Heaven and Earth Dual Ghosts saw Lu Hongtu and also nodded slightly. They also had a good impression of Lu Hongtu.The two ghost cultivators exchanged glances. Di Hui, being more impatient, said, "Fellow Daoist Lu speaks his mind quickly. Then we two will also not hide anything and simply speak directly."

Di Hui described the specific situation, immediately causing an uproar."Did I not hear correctly? Is it really Glazed Heart Blood?!""This is a type of heart blood from Earth-aligned demon cultivators. What the Ginseng Whisker Dragon King left behind must be of the Soul Transformation level.""Not only this Glazed Heart Blood, but also Ginseng Root Earth. This soil is extremely fertile and full of vitality. It is an excellent base soil for spiritual plants.""But what is that giant dragon-shaped talisman the white-robed ghost mentioned?"

A knowledgeable elder explained: "It should be Dragon Vein Script.""The enemy's deployment of the Iron Flowing River formation this time consumed an enormous amount. Du Tiechuan even did not hesitate to activate the dragon脉 of the Two Dynasties Nation to infuse energy into the review platform.""Therefore, the Iron Flowing River inherently carries the might of the dragon脉.""Du Tiechuan and his heavy armored main force advanced forcefully, crushing everything in their path, meaning the dragon脉 was also pushing forward simultaneously.""Especially in the place where he clashed with Lord Dragon King, the power of the dragon脉 continuously dissipated, eroding the surrounding environment,""Leaving behind Dragon Vein Script.""Of course, what is left on the battlefield is only a part of the script, merely individual dragon-shaped runes.""Along the path where the main force charged, there must also be hidden dragon-shaped runes.""These runes must be found and separated from the earth脉 of Thousand Peaks Forest!"

Although Thousand Peaks Forest is part of the territory of the Two Dynasties Nation, the Two Dynasties Nation has always lacked control over it. This is because the mountains, rivers, and so on here are all occupied by various indigenous deities and have not been incorporated into the national dragon脉.When the dragon脈 runes combine to form Dragon Vein Script, once the Dragon Vein Script marks and penetrates the mountains and rivers of Thousand Peaks Forest, it will reduce the authority and power of the local deities, eventually absorbing the entire Thousand Peaks Forest as a part of itself.

The cultivators' expressions became solemn. After hearing the explanation, they all expressed their desire to contribute to Thousand Peaks Forest and immediately went to search for the dragon脉 runes.Everyone's enthusiasm was fully mobilized, all because the dragon脉 runes were also a peculiar treasure, of high value and possessing unique uses.Soon, a large wave of cultivators left the tent, rushing out of the camp.

Chen Lingfeng's face turned pale with anger.Lu Hongtu looked at the backs of the Heaven and Earth Dual Ghosts who immediately left, his gaze distant and melancholic.

Chen Lingfeng sent a divine sense message: "Lu Hongtu, now this is good. There are fewer than ten people left. If Esteemed Grandpa Long returns, you will answer his questions!"

Lu Hongtu smiled, gently clapping his hands: "Everyone, next, let us discuss attacking the Two Dynasties Nation's subsequent forces.""Currently, the Two Dynasties Nation's main heavy armored army is busy shedding their iron hide armor and is in a period of rest.""The Two Dynasties Nation's subsequent forces are all those who did not meet the selection criteria and were eliminated. We need to completely annihilate this force!""If we let them converge, it will be our dereliction of duty."

Lu Hongtu's proposal received the full approval of the remaining cultivators.These people were almost all Barbarian cultivators.Compared to the wicked and evil cultivators who fled from outside into Thousand Peaks Forest to hide and avoid disaster, and the free and undisciplined demon cultivators, the main body of indigenous people in Thousand Peaks Forest are Barbarian cultivators.The deities worshiped by the Barbarians are also the stubborn defensive faction occupying the mountains and waters of Thousand Peaks Forest.These people are the most loyal and reliable backbone force.

"However, even if we can completely annihilate the subsequent forces, it will only be a minor skirmish.""The real key to this great battle is still the struggle between the Soul Transformation levels.""Old Monster in Stone, it all depends on your actions!"

Lu Hongtu had a clear and profound understanding of the situation.

On the edge of the battlefield of the great battle.The Mechanical Roaming Dragon was shrunk to a tiny size, hidden within a dense canopy of trees.Sun Lingtong excitedly took out the corpse of the Old Monster in Stone: "Next, it's time for us to act."

However, in the very next moment, Ning Zhuo felt pain in his finger.The Mechanical Ring!"Hmm?!" Ning Zhuo was instantly startled.The contraction of the Mechanical Ring was unprecedentedly strong, almost feeling as if it would break his finger bone.

"Wait a moment!" Ning Zhuo immediately spoke out, calling out to Sun Lingtong.Sun Lingtong looked at him in confusion, only to see Ning Zhuo raising his palm.The Mechanical Ring contracted fiercely, squeezing Ning Zhuo's finger out of shape.

Sun Lingtong and Ning Zhuo were not just close friends who had faced death together. They naturally knew the details of the Mechanical Ring. Their pupils immediately contracted, and they guessed: "The Mechanical Ring is warning us? Is it telling us that if we continue with this action, we will suffer serious unforeseen consequences?"

Ning Zhuo looked at the Mechanical Ring: "I think it's safer not to act as the Old Monster in Stone again."As if sensing the change in Ning Zhuo's intentions, the Mechanical Ring immediately returned to its original state.

Sun Lingtong's face was solemn, no longer joking around.His mind was nimble, and he immediately thought of the key: "Oh, I understand.""What happened to us on碧空 Mountain before has probably been leaked.""That piece of Void Evil God Bone is a more obscure existence. It could be stored there for many years, and no one would know this secret. In this way, the Old Monster in Stone will be estimated as a Soul Transformation level existence."

Ning Zhuo nodded, and continued: "Originally, the punitive expedition against Thousand Peaks Forest was just a battle between Soul Transformation levels, between Ginseng Whisker Dragon King and Du Tiechuan.""Although there was the Soul Transformation level national beast, the Two-headed, it had already been shown in the previous battles that it was not the key.""Therefore, the Soul Transformation level demon cultivator, the Old Monster in Stone, who had always remained outside, has become an existence that both the enemy and we are wary of!"

Sun Lingtong sighed: "The Old Monster in Stone and Ginseng Whisker Dragon King have similar backgrounds, and the former's experience of devouring fragments of the Treasure Distributing Rock is widely circulated.""Once we act as him and go to the battlefield, we might very well be targeted by Du Tiechuan and Ginseng Whisker Dragon King in succession."

At this point in their exchange, Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong looked at each other, speechless for a moment.After a while, Ning Zhuo obediently returned to the side of Liu Er and Zhang Hei, and together with them harvested Ginseng Dragon Whiskers.

Three days passed in this manner."Dragon blood, what a huge pool of Ginseng Dragon Blood." Beneath a certain pile of broken stones, Luo Xiwei, using the Earth Evasion technique, drilled in, his expression quite excited.He was a demon cultivator, holding a five-section staff, skilled in Earth-aligned magic.As early as before the Heaven and Earth Dual Ghosts announced that there were heavy treasures hidden on the battlefield, he had already secretly infiltrated the battlefield to gain benefits.The earthy yellow Ginseng Dragon Blood had seeped deep underground, staining a stone, causing the stone surface to emit a soft treasure light, and the hard stone chips also became tough, even possessing a slight elasticity.

Luo Xiwei canceled the Earth Evasion technique, just as he was about to reach out and take it.Suddenly, a beam of ice light shot through the layers of broken stones, hitting him with lightning speed, giving him no time to react!Luo Xiwei had no time to react at all before being frozen on the spot.His eyes widened, his expression of terror frozen on his face, completely encased in a thick layer of ice.North Sea Rapid Freeze Light!

On the edge of the military camp, the cold light of a watchtower slowly extinguished. Just now, it was from its top that a beam of white light had shot out, freezing and killing the Core Formation cultivator, Luo Xiwei.For a time, the cultivators inside and outside the military camp were shaken, all casting inquiring gazes.The next moment, a thread of flame circled in mid-air, drilling into the pile of broken stones with extreme agility.Soon, the tragic howl of a cultivator being burned to death before he died was heard.Fire of Death and Separation!This was a fierce attack launched from another watchtower.

After the cultivators reacted, there was an uproar.The startled cultivators of Thousand Peaks Forest frantically fled using various means.Beams of white light shot out one after another!At the same time, threads of flame circled in the air, searching for and pursuing the enemy.Many cultivators of Thousand Peaks Forest paid the price of their lives for their greed.

That night.Du Tiechuan, who received the military report, had an unpleasant expression.These battle results were not worth mentioning in his eyes."The real key is still the Old Monster in Stone.""Since he doesn't appear, then so be it."Du Tiechuan coughed twice, each time coughing up earthy yellow blood.He waved his sleeves, completely closing the secret chamber door.Having delayed for so long without luring out the Old Monster in Stone, Du Tiechuan chose to give up and truly began to heal his injuries.
