Seeing her bright eyes and her sweet smile, not only was Lu Que stunned, but even Yun Shu and Mei Changju, who had known her for countless years, were stunned as well. At the same time, Zhuge Yan revealed an intoxicated expression.
Lord Reverend, please be at ease. Although I, Lu Que, do not dare to call myself a gentleman, I am not a disloyal person either." Having just experienced an illusion, Lu Que still had a sliver of Verdant Wood Essence remaining in his body. He was the first to react and agreed. However, a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes when he looked at the music. Although it was only for an instant, the expressions on the face of the 18 youths still caused his heart to palpitate involuntarily. There was no love between a man and a woman, it was more like a yearning for good things.
Lu Que had read all the information regarding the Nine Great Aristocratic Families before. Furthermore, the trace of aura that Ye Yin Yin could inadvertently reveal in his words and actions a moment ago should be the legendary Heavenly Sacred Law of the Le Family. This was an aura that the people from the Le family created when they were at their peak. It was a force that could unconsciously resonate with the people around them due to their pure pursuit of music.
Moreover, Lu Que also knew that among the nine great families of the Great Gan Empire, the Tian Yin, Shen Qu, and Sheng Wu were the most magical. The three great families entered the world through music and dancing, and the elites would be able to attract the attention of others with a frown and smile.
In the ancient times, humans expressed joy and joy. In addition to laughter, there was also singing and dancing, enough to dance. Therefore, the Heavenly Note Family, the Divine Comedy Family, and the Wu Family, which pursued music and dance, all had unique auras that ordinary people did not have.
Just like the previous Wu Yun Chang, her body naturally moved as if she was dancing in the middle of a forest, causing the beautiful Zhuge Yan who had seen countless scenes with Yu Tian Xiang and Gu Qingcheng to be extremely moved. She couldn't help but feel a sense of fondness towards her, and from the moment they met, she immediately started to pursue and attack the beautiful dancer. Lu Que didn't know how many times he had troubled Yu Tian Xiang and Gu Qing.
Moreover, Lu Que also knew that Wu Yunchang, as the most talented person in the Wu Family, had after all still been young, and her cultivation had only just started. Other than the Twin Thunderwinds Dance, the rest of the dances that were spread throughout the world had a lot to do with the secular world.
However, the music leaf in front of him had clearly reached the Heavenly Note Saint Law of the musician's ultimate technique, the Twelve Laws of the Heavenly Note. In other words, this playful, mischievous Revered Master before him had already reached the peak of perfection, just a step away from breaking through to the sage realm.
What Lu Que could see was what Yunshu, Plum Blossom House, and Zhuge Yan, who came from the Zhuge Family. Naturally, he could see what Lu Que was talking about as well. "Wuwuwu, wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuu …" It was only then that Yun Shu, Mei Chang Zai and even the three beast guards finally understood why the female emperor's projection within the Fire Phoenix Pearl had said the words' you should leave now 'to Le Consonance.
Because the Greenwood Continent had the power of the Greenwood Tree, almost no one could enter the sage realm in the Greenwood Continent. Normally, they would leave the continent and head to the south to find a chance to breakthrough. Moreover, under the Green Wood Divine Tree's laws, the suppression of sage realm experts was extremely powerful. Even sage realm experts could only utilize the complete strength of a human being under the Green Wood Divine Tree's laws. This was also the reason why the Great Gan Empire was so prosperous without sage realm experts.
"Thank you very much." Ye Yin didn't pay attention to the weird looks on everyone's face. Instead, she saluted and thanked Lu Que. She had already made up her mind that after this trip, she would leave this place and follow the footsteps of ancestor Le Tianyin to leave the Flame Continent to pursue a higher realm.
He couldn't help but smile as he said, "Since the Great Illusory Heart Array has already appeared, we can sense its aura. According to the rules set by the academy, the first stage is to live here for 15 days, which means there are still a few more days until the fifteenth day. I also need to enter the array during this time to see what exactly it looks like inside."
As he said this, he looked at Yunshu and Mei-Chang Zai, and after seeing them nod, he said, "The beast tide has passed. Although the remaining period of time is not dangerous, it can be considered an experiential learning for you guys. When the fifteenth day is up, we will activate the Great Illusory Heart Array once again, so go back and tell them to make some preparations."
"Then do the three of us still need to enter the Great Illusory Heart Array once more?" He had been frightened by the Great Illusory Heart Array. Although he had been caught off guard by the sudden appearance of the Array, thus, he fell into the illusion of the Array. If he prepared to enter it again, it would definitely be much better than before. However, the incident with the Great Illusory Heart Array still left a lingering fear in his heart. If there was another problem with the Great Array and the array was strengthened to the same level as Lu Que just now, he knew that even if he had prepared in his heart, he might not be able to guard his mind.
"Since you three have already entered once, then you don't need to go in." Although her cultivation level was the highest, she was the one in charge of this time's Mountain Sea Painting, so naturally she had to make the decision.
"However, if the three of you want to enter again, we don't object." Although there were three people in Plum Blossom House, they all looked at Zhuge Yan with a mocking expression. They were all men. Seeing Zhuge Yan's pale face, he naturally could guess what had happened to him. Moreover, Zhuge Yan's legs were still trembling and weak. It was simply an act of excessive lust.
"No, no, no, no." Zhuge Yan waved his hands repeatedly when he heard this. Although the feeling of the illusion was indeed wonderful, he did not want to try again. If he could not escape the illusion, he would be as good as dead.
This time, even Lu Que shook his head. He still had some doubts about losing his memory within the array. Although he could not remember exactly what had happened, even Whitey's shadow had appeared just now, indicating the degree of danger within the formation. Moreover, when he had climbed the tree just now, he had secretly placed the green leaf back into the jade cauldron, he had discovered that the luster of the three leaves was much dimmer than before. Even if he had entered the fifth grade Blood Enlightenment pill from the great array, he didn't want to enter it again at this time.
"It's getting late. You should head back earlier." The sun was about to set. With their current pace, it would be great if they could return to the camp at midnight.
Lu Que, Zhuge Yan, and Lin Qingyu nodded when they heard this. They understood that these three reverends had no intentions of sending them back to their campsite. They would still have to face the forest that night. The three of them bowed to the three Imperial City Elders. When Lin Qingyu and Zhuge Yan turned to leave, Lu Que bowed to the three strange guarding beasts before taking his leave.
"You humans are truly talented. This child's future achievements are no weaker than that man's." The cow-captive looked at Lu Que, who was helping Zhuge Yan into the forest, and sighed emotionally.
Yun Shu, Ye Yin and Plum Blossom smiled, but they didn't say anything. Of course, the three of them knew what the Emperor and the other two sects wanted from Lu Que. Even Le Consonance from a noble family wanted to let their younger generation get closer to Lu Que, but when they thought of Le Miaomiao, who was from the same year as Lu Qu and was even more talented than her, they shook their heads. Since they had already decided to leave, she did not want to concern herself with the matters of the family anymore.
"I wonder what that song sounded like when it was played with a pottery flute." Seeing that the three of them didn't say anything, the prisoner continued, "If only I could hear that song. Sigh ~ such a pity."
"A hundred years is nothing at all to us. When we're out of here in the future, big brother can go find him whenever you want to." Jiao Tu comforted the cow-captive when he saw him sigh emotionally.
"I wonder what his cultivation level will be in a hundred years." Right now, its bloodthirsty and aggressive eyes were filled with regret, and it couldn't help but sigh, "If I could follow beside him now, who knows how many wonderful things I would encounter along the way. Indeed, it's a pity, I'm starting to envy that little guy now."
Yun Shu and the other two were surprised that the three beasts who were guarding the Northern Frontier Battlefield would say such words, but after thinking about it for a moment, Yun Shu and the other two felt relieved. The three of them had the same cultivation level as today, and which one of them had not walked out from the bloody rain or the foul winds, and which of them did not have a pure heart?
Just as expected, it was already midnight when Lu Que and the other two returned to the camp in the lakeside cove. In this small world without any stars or moon, walking on the mountain paths at night was truly a very painful thing. The three of them did not know how many times they had slipped and fallen under those dewy weeds and leaves.
Moreover, Zhuge Yan's body was very weak right now. Lu Que and Lin Qingyu were half supporting and half pulling him along the way. Naturally, the speed at which the three of them were walking was much slower than before.
In these few days, first, there were beasts, then there was the Great Illusory Heart Array, and now, they had to guard against ferocious beasts that might sneak attack them during the night as they travelled with Zhuge Yan in the pitch black night. When they returned to the camp, even Lu Que, who had just entered the fifth stage of the Blood Meridian Realm, was exhausted. Lin Qingyu could not help but smile as he looked at this scene.
However, what the three of them did not expect was that when they returned, not only were Duanmu Ye, Bai Qing Guang, and Zhi Xing, the three lesser injured people not asleep, even Yun Xin Si, Su Duo, Meng Cang, and Li Zhong, who had lost a lot of vital energy and blood, were forcing themselves to continue chatting as they surrounded the bonfire.
Seeing the return of Lu Que and the other two, even Bai Aoguang, who was at odds with Zhuge Yan, broke out into a smile. After experiencing the beast tide the day before yesterday, the three of them went out in search of medicine for an entire day and night. After nightfall, they became extremely worried, fearing that the three of them would encounter some sort of danger.
As for the rest of the matters, the three of them had a tacit understanding and did not say anything. This was because the three of them knew that if they were to tell them about the Great Illusory Heart Array and the guardian beast, they would definitely not stop their chattering. They did not have the strength to talk about those things now.
When the crowd saw the three of them looking tired and their clothes covered with grass and dirt, they all thought it was because they had gone into the mountain to look for medicine. Other than the four who were seriously injured expressing their gratitude, they did not ask any further questions.
In the blink of an eye, it was already the morning of the second day. Although he had only slept for four to six hours, because all his 36 acupoints had been linked, Lu Que's fatigue from yesterday had been completely swept away after he woke up. After walking around the newly established camp, they realized that Duanmu Ye and the others had really done a lot of things yesterday.
On the other side of the cove, there were many wood that had been neatly chopped down by axes. On each piece of wood, there were some that either hollowed out or protruded. Around the campsite, there were already two wooden fences that were three feet high and pointed at the top. This way, even if a ferocious beast managed to jump over the first layer of fences, the second layer of fences would still pierce through their stomachs.
Other than Bai Qing Guang, who was dozing off by the smoking bonfire, the rest of the people were still sleeping, as the camp had not been established yet. These people were just leaning on a wooden stake or leaning on a log to sleep, their sleeping positions were naturally not that good, so Lu Que could not help but smile and shake his head.
Lu Que strolled to the lakeside. He clenched his fists and stretched his body. He could not help but frown. Although he had unknowingly entered the fifth level of the Blood Entrance before, which could be said to be a blessing in disguise, because of the increase in his physical strength, his control over his body was much weaker than before. Yesterday, when he was climbing the tree, he almost fell off because of his immense strength. He had to adapt to his body and strength after the breakthrough.
Fortunately, he had already formed the five elemental circulation in his internal organs. He could already start practicing the external training method of the < < Primordial Deities Mantra > > without having to worry about leaving behind hidden injuries and ailments in his body.
In the Blood Meridian Realm, there were always internal and external training methods. Some were internal and external, like Lu Que before he used the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth to open up the Blood Meridians in his body, nourishing his body with the circulation of his bloodline. Some of these laws were formed from the outside, using the vibrations of the muscles, bones, and skin to condense the blood and energy within the body. While strengthening the body, the body would also be able to open the blood acupoints within the body.
It doesn't matter which of the two methods is the better. According to common sense, the improvement of one's internal Qi is faster, but external Qi is stronger when compared to external Qi." When the five elements in the blood aperture are mutually existing, then the external training, the internal training, the external training, the external training, the movement, and finally the internal and external training, the movement, the Yin and Yang effects will be complementary.
The < < True Sutra of the Yuan and Great Birds > > cultivation technique was called Dragon's Fist Art. It had a total of twelve moves, and each move had six different forms for a total of seventy-two moves. The boxing style was both firm and flexible, and contained Yin and Yang. Using the stance as the foundation, and using the arms, legs, shoulders, and waist as the base, it could make the Qi and blood in the body purer and purer.
Lu Que stood still for a bit and then tried to execute the set of boxing techniques in his memory. However, because he had used too much strength in a few moves, he almost dodged his waist and could not help but shake his head with a wry smile. Although this boxing technique could improve his control over his body, his starting point was also extremely high.
Lu Que moved his hands and took off the Dragon-coiled Brambles Spear on his waist. There were ten of them, and after walking around the camp just now, he realized that there was not much food left. He wanted to see if he could use the spear to poke a few fresh fish by the lake and make some fish soup to warm their stomachs.
Just as Lu Que was walking along the riverbank in search of a place with lush aquatic plants, he suddenly discovered that Zhuge Yan was standing beside a rock by the lake, naked. She was washing her clothes on a flat rock while mumbling something.
"Zhuge, what are you talking about?" Lu Que approached and discovered that although this place was not far from the shore, the water level was below Zhuge Yan's waist. Lu Que approached and realized that although this place was not far from the shore, the water level was below Zhuge Yan's waist.
"Oh my god, Lu Que. You scared me to death. Are you a ghost? You can't even make a sound when walking." A sound that suddenly appeared behind him startled Zhuge Yan. He turned around and saw it was Lu Que, who was still in the middle of washing his clothes and threw them into the lake.
"What are you muttering about, don't you sleep early in the morning?" Lu Que kicked a stone in the water right in front of Zhuge Yan. Seeing his face splashed with water and his fuming appearance, he found it funny.
"Didn't you see? I'm washing clothes. " Zhuge Yan rolled her eyes at Lu Que and continued washing his clothes.
"This is really strange, you actually get up early to wash clothes?" It can't be related to yesterday's illusion array, right? " Lu Que looked at Zhuge Yan with a strange expression. Having known Zhuge Yan for so long, he knew the character of this Young Duke of the Zhuge family. Normally, nothing out of the ordinary would happen. Furthermore, the limp and weak look Zhuge Yan had yesterday, as well as the smell that she had exuded when she carried him back; even though Lu Que was inexperienced, he knew what that signified.
"Not at all." "We fell so many times last night. What happened to me when I woke up early to wash my clothes?" Although he knew that Lu Que might have already guessed it, Zhuge Yan still refused to admit it.
"Really?"
"It's true. It's totally real." Seeing that Lu Que was still looking at him weirdly, Zhuge Yan nodded her head like a chick pecking rice.
Lu Que looked at the goosebumps on Zhuge Yan's skin and said, "Take a shower in the morning and come up as soon as you're done. If you've caught a cold, it would be difficult to find any suitable herbs here."
"Alright, alright, you go back first. Don't worry about me. I'll catch a few more fish after I wash up." Unable to stand Lu Que's gaze, Zhuge Yan hurriedly called for help.
"Alright, I'll leave breakfast with you today." Seeing Zhuge Yan's embarrassed look, Lu Que smiled and turned to walk back to the camp.
