Chapter 2810 Past events
Deep in Li Yao's memory, a young man who looked like bean sprouts, had an ugly face, but had an extremely clear gaze. He first poured tea for himself respectfully, and then sat aside in a regular manner and listened to the scene where he and his master, the immortal cultivator Su Changfa sat and discussed the truth.
That was... more than a hundred years ago.
However, Li Yao never expected that this young man who was not good-looking and weak and sickly would have such a tortuous and bizarre encounter. In just a hundred years, he quickly grew into a top-notch strongman and conspirator who could be compared with Yanxi North, Xiao Xuance, Youquan Ancestor, and his grandfather Lu Zui.
"Lu Qingchen..."
Li Yao and Lu Qingchen have a great relationship. It can even be said that Lu Qingchen will become like this today, which is inseparable from Li Yao's influence.
First, Li Yao and Lu Qingchen's grandfather, the leader of the "Patriot Organization", and the former director of the Starry Federation Secret Sword Bureau, started a fierce battle, and finally exposed Lu Zui's true face and planted the seeds of doubt in the heart of the young Lu Qingchen.
Lu Qingchen did not hate Li Yao because of that matter. He admitted countless times that his grandfather deserves his sins, and following his grandfather's path will only destroy the Federation.
But there is no doubt that this incident left a mark of "doubt everything" in Lu Qingchen's heart - if even his grandfather, a high-ranking, powerful, resolute and unyielding cultivator, could make a huge mistake, what else could be 100% correct?
Perhaps it is precisely because of the spirit of "doubting everything", after the immortal cultivator Su Changfa was captured to the Federation and started the spread and debate of the "Immortal Cultivation Way", Lu Qingchen resolutely joined Su Changfa's disciple to learn the essence of the immortal cultivator.
Li Yao has to admit that the "Immortal Cultivation Trio" encountered in Kunlun Secret Realm more than a hundred years ago, Su Changfa and Kou Ruhuo, among them, are both true and perfect. Pure immortal cultivators are strong people who truly advocate the spirit of "the strong prey on the weak and the strongest man, and the strongest man in humans". They are definitely not the same as those of the selfish and short-sighted guys in the four major families in the empire.
Li Yao was moved by the fearless spirit that the cultivators showed in the fierce battle with the resurrected Pangu tribe. With the idea of "the truth becomes clearer the more they debate", he gave Su Changfa the opportunity to explain the great way in the federal territory, so that Lu Qingchen could become Su Changfa's true disciple.
Despite this, Lu Qingchen did not accept the ideas of immortal cultivators 100%. Instead, he took a unique approach and integrated them, trying to combine the advantages of the great way of cultivation and the great way of cultivation, and create a path of "Immortal Cultivation 2.0", or "True Immortal Avenue"!
The core theory is probably that everything is constantly changing and developing, and there is no great way to be used in all directions. Therefore, according to the difference between time and environment, you should practice when you should practice, and when you should practice immortality, you should practice immortality.
Such a "true immortal path" is similar to Li Jialing's "cultivation of truth is the skin, and cultivation of immortality is the bone".
If Lu Qingchen's achievements were limited to this, he would be a very insightful young theorist. The Xingyao Federation did not punish him with thoughts and speech. Even if he believed in the 100% fundamentalist path of immortal cultivation, as long as he did not do evil and harmed the country and the people, it would be his personal freedom.
Unfortunately, after his teacher, Su Changfa, cultivator, fell, Lu Qingchen studied with the second teacher for a while. This teacher was Professor Mo Xuan, who had devoured the "Star Child" and was eroded by the demons who were hosted in the body of Xing Child, and fell into the dark side, or "Star Child Mo Xuan"!
At the beginning, Lu Qingchen only participated in Professor Mo Xuan’s “Virtual Spirit World Project”.
Li Yao estimated that at that time, Lu Qingchen probably wanted to open up his own virtual space and use data to create countless virtual people to practice his "true immortal path".
It's like creating a game where everyone in the game lives and works according to the rules he has formulated. This is naturally not illegal or violates any ethics.
However, Lu Qingchen did not expect that Professor Mo Xuan had been eroded by the demon, and the "spiritual demon" who had been infected with the "star child" was still looking for a younger host with stronger souls and more open minds.
So, the "Void Spirit World Collapse" incident occurred.
After that incident, Lu Qingchen's soul, the thoughts of the True Immortal Avenue and the power of the demons were combined together, becoming the most dangerous mastermind behind the "Black Wind Fleet's Force Attack on the Starry Glory Federation".
He and Professor Mo Xuan had a clear division of labor. Professor Mo Xuan dealt with the Federation, but he took risks alone and sneaked into the Black Wind Fleet and tried to hijack the entire Black Wind Fleet.
If Li Yao hadn't arrived in time with the twelve ancient saints, they would have almost benefited by their fisherman, swallowing the elephant with a snake, and really turned the Starlight Federation and the Black Wind Fleet into the world of demons.
During that battle, the heavenly demon Mo Xuan was moved by the singing of Li Yao and billions of compatriots, and suddenly woke up. He cut off the power of the heavenly demon in his body in time, restored the self of "Professor Mo Xuan", prevented the further occurrence of destruction, and reminded Li Yao of the existence of "the heavenly demon Lu Qingchen".
In the final decisive battle in the illusion, although the heavenly demon Lu Qingchen was defeated by Li Yao and the blood-colored inner demon, the defeat seemed to be a little too easy and straightforward.
Li Yao remembered that before his demon soul completely disappeared, he said a very strange thing, saying: "What exactly are you? See you next time..."
This is all the information about Lu Qingchen in Li Yao’s memory.
Could it be that this difficult little guy is really not dead yet?
"That's right."
Li Yao murmured, "There are really many common points between Lu Qingchen and the Puppet King. If it were him, everything would be explained.
"First of all, Lu Qingchen is a very special 'spiritual demon'. As early as the battle of the Federation to resist the Black Wind Fleet, he could break away from his body as he pleased and sneak into the main control crystal brain of the Black Wind Fleet flagship's Black Vortex, and almost hijacked the entire Black Wind Fleet's spiritual network.
"No, it's not just a hijacking the spirit network. He also sneaked into the brain of Hei Yeming, commander of the Black Wind Fleet, directly controlled Hei Yeming, and completely surrendered to his will!
"You know, Hei Yeming is a powerful god-transforming man. Even though he was seriously injured in the war against the Holy Alliance and his realm dropped sharply, he would not fall below the god-transforming man. His soul is still extremely powerful, but he still can't resist his hypnosis and bewitchment!
"Also, refining brain viruses and using emotions as weapons is also Lu Qingchen's specialty. Do you remember that we sneaked into the "Deep Blue Super Brain Hospital" in Baihua City with Long Yangjun and saw a large amount of their research data, as well as the puppets and virtual spirit bodies they carefully modulated?
"That technique is exactly the same as the actions of the Puppet King in the Holy Alliance today. Damn it, why didn't I expect it?
"But if the puppet king is really Lu Qingchen, how did this little ghost come to the Holy Alliance?"
“This is not surprising.”
The blood-colored inner demon analyzed, "If the puppet king was really Lu Qingchen, he hijacked the main control crystal brain of the Black Wind Fleet flagship "Black Vortex" and naturally devoured a large amount of data from the Black Wind Fleet. There must be a large number of jumping coordinates about the real human empire, including the coordinates of the front-line combat world such as the Black Wind Realm.
"Since Long Yangjun can jump over, we can jump over. He has no restraint of his body, only a vague wave left, why can't he jump over?
"Don't forget that one of the predecessors of the 'Heaven Demon Lu Qingchen' is the 'Star Child' from the Real Human Empire. Star Child originally had the ability to cross the star sea and travel around at will. Lu Qingchen naturally inherited this ability, which is very reasonable!"
"Yes, yes, I almost forgot about this!"
Li Yao suddenly realized, "The Real Human Empire sent Xinghai to explore the border of the Star Sea. Xinghai was eroded and polluted by the demons while traveling through the four-dimensional space. Professor Mo Xuan devoured the polluted Xinghai, and then gave some of the power to Lu Qingchen's soul. Therefore, Lu Qingchen also mastered Xinghai's magical powers. The Real Human Empire is equivalent to half of his hometown. When he returns here, it is naturally easy to get back to his palm.
"At this time, the Empire was fighting fiercely with the Holy Alliance again. It was reasonable for him to jump further to the Holy Alliance through the starship on the front line.
"But, he is not staying honestly in the empire, why are he going to the Holy Alliance for?"
"I think there are two reasons."
The Blood-colored Heart Demon says, "First, Lu Qingchen is the 'spiritual demon'. His power needs a good network environment to stimulate it to the limit. Compared with the empire, the Holy Alliance has a higher degree of networking and relies more on the omnipresent spirit network. When he comes here, he is more like a fish in water. Whether it is practice, invasion or fighting, he is more at ease.
"Secondly, his idea may be the same as you, to balance the relationship between the Holy Alliance, the Empire and the Federation, but you have the golden thigh of the 'Empire Empress Li Linghai' to hold. It is more convenient for you to act in the Empire. He does not know Li Linghai, so it is impossible to stabilize the situation in the Empire. It is better to come to the Holy Alliance and turn the Holy Alliance upside down. Maintain the balance between the Holy Alliance and the Empire, and keep the Federation safe."
"Why?"
Lee Yao said, "He still wants to keep the federal security?"
"Of course, don't think that people are so unforgivable just because they have different positions from you!"
