Chapter 460 The Unlucky Nine Yin Elephant
After staring at Ao Ning fiercely, Lu Changjing began to make arrangements: "From now on, you will live in Chang'an Immortal Palace, and your title will be Chen Fei, one of the main concubines. I will take care of the Water Dragon Clan. After all, they did not take the initiative to participate in the Great Blood Disaster, but were forced to do so. From now on, the Water Dragon Clan will just stay with me."

"Although they are not treated the same as humans for the time being, as long as they make contributions, they can be treated similarly to humans. Don't worry that I will mistreat them. Just rest assured and take care of your baby..."

Ao Ning followed Lu Changjing's orders obediently without any disobedience. Seeing her so honest, Lu Changjing's anger dissipated a little. He specially found some female doctors in charge of this matter to see if there was any good way to help Ao Ning recover faster and help the fetus grow better.

Only after he had arranged for Ao Ning did Lu Changjing have time to understand the situation inside his body.

Sure enough, the failure this time was due to his inner demons and willpower. In just a few decades, he improved too fast. The defense brought by his various characteristics was mainly concentrated in his energy and spirit, and his inner demons were not that strong.

He also needs to awaken a characteristic to deal with his inner demons, so as to ensure that he has no weaknesses.

After years of hard training, his mental strength had barely reached the one-star Earth Venerable level, and his willpower and other aspects had also improved a lot, but in the end it was still far behind his other aspects of defense.

In terms of defense in these three aspects of essence, energy and spirit, Lu Changjing is already close to being invincible as a Heavenly Venerable, but his defense against inner demons is only at the level of an Earthly Venerable, which is indeed a bit weak.

Although he is much stronger than most warriors, and can even catch up with some Tianzuns with weaknesses, he still has weaknesses.

In addition, there are very few people who can awaken their mental power, so Lu Changjing actually neglected this point again.

So when he met the second person who had awakened his mental power and had already cultivated it to the level of a six-star earth master and had mastered special mental power secrets, Lu Changjing was directly defeated and fell into the demon of his heart.

If Ao Ning had no ill will towards him, Lu Changjing would have been in danger this time.

Although the ability to see through illusions is powerful, when Ao Ning merged with the Sacred Water Source Tree and became the Sacred Water Source Tree itself, he was unable to see through its disguise.

This is the effect of a talent that Ao Ning cultivated. It can effectively promote the growth of the Holy Water Tree and is also of great help to his own cultivation.

Unfortunately, with the withering of the sacred water tree, this effect will no longer exist.

Lu Changjing asked Ao Ning about the mental skills and secret techniques he practiced. Ao Ning did not keep anything to himself and directly passed on to Lu Changjing the top-level Tiangong Xinyuan Sutra that had been treasured in the clan for many years.

The method of cultivating mental strength contained therein is far superior to the method of cultivating mental strength that Lu Changjing obtained from the Wanxiang Library.

The method of cultivating mental power that Lu Changjing obtained from the Wanxiang Library was only a low-level heavenly skill, and there was no mental power secret technique in it. However, this Heart Source Sutra was a top-level heavenly skill. The effect of cultivating mental power far exceeded the skills that Lu Changjing had practiced before, and it also contained three major secret techniques, namely the heart wall, the heart sword, and the heart demon.

The heart wall can form a wall in the heart to block all kinds of attacks from inner demons.

The Heart Sword can nurture a sword in the heart. The longer it is nurtured, the stronger its power becomes. When needed, it can suddenly burst out and directly attack the enemy's heart. At the same time, it creates opportunities for the inner demon, pulling the enemy into the inner demon without knowing it.

Attack, defense, assistance... the trinity, which can bring the power of mental strength to the extreme, is exactly the secret technique of mental strength that Lu Changjing has been dreaming of.

Although he had acquired some mental combat skills and secret techniques in the Universal Library before, their power was too small and they could not produce much effect. They were far inferior to the Nine Dragons Combat Skills System and the Big and Small Ruyi.

Although Lu Changjing also practiced some, he rarely used it. However, the Heart Source Sutra was different. If it could be practiced to a high enough level, its power would not be inferior to the Nine Dragons Combat Skills System, and might even far exceed it.

After all, there are very few people who can awaken their mental power, and there are also very few people who can defend against their mental power. Moreover, mental power is invisible and silent when it is used, which can make the enemy fall into it unknowingly and never be able to turn over.

This Heart Sutra alone is enough to calm Lu Changjing's anger.

Although he fell into the trap again this time and returned to his previous life for the third time, he was able to further sharpen his willpower in this journey of inner demons and gained considerable benefits. In terms of his strength in defending against inner demons alone, it increased by about three times compared to before.

His mental strength became more and more refined and greater in quantity, and he would soon break through to the two-star Earth Venerable level.

The clone of Di Zun has returned to the front line and began to direct people to take over all the industries and resources of the Water Dragon's Nest in an orderly manner, and also began to take over the entire Water Dragon Clan.

After learning that his sixteenth daughter had become one of Lu Changjing's wives, Consort Chen, and was pregnant with Lu Changjing's first child, Ao Guang no longer worried and personally led his men to recruit the members of the Water Dragon Clan.

With the endorsement of the Water Dragon King and Lu Changjing's strong enough strength, he was invincible. He took over all the industries and resource points of the Water Dragon Clan and made them Lu Changjing's industries and resources.

All the accumulation of the Water Dragon Clan over the years has now become Lu Changjing's. The resources and treasures obtained are enough to support Lu Changjing's practice to the highest level of Earth Venerable.

As expected of an old clan that has survived in the Vientiane Sea for more than hundreds of thousands of years, its assets are huge.

However, what surprised Lu Changjing was that Ao Ning had just become pregnant not long ago, but the resources and treasures she consumed every day had reached an astonishing level, already catching up with that of an ordinary Earth Lord.

It has just begun to grow, and the consumption has reached this level. As it continues to grow, the resources and treasures required will continue to increase. Especially in the middle stage of pregnancy, the growth rate is extremely fast, and the resources consumed can be imagined. I am afraid it will catch up with those Heavenly Venerables.

What kind of talents and supernatural powers should my first child awaken that would consume so much energy?

Although he was a bit troubled by the energy consumption, Lu Changjing was quite happy when he thought about the possibility of having extraordinary physique and talent.

Ao Ning, who originally just wanted to give it a try to see if she could deepen the bond, was also extremely surprised at this moment. She did not expect that her husband had such talent and qualifications, and the child born would be so extraordinary.

He couldn't help but feel more grateful for his choice and good luck, and he no longer cared so much about the sudden drop in his realm and the impact on his cultivation foundation.

In order to get pregnant with this child, Ao Ning fell six levels. Her foundation was also greatly affected and it would take a long time to recover.

Moreover, the amazing potential of this child is also related to Ao Ning. After all, Ao Ning is not only a rare person who has awakened his mental power once in a thousand years, but also has a holy body, and his talent and qualifications have reached the level of an extraordinary genius.

It was already difficult for Ao Ning to conceive a child, let alone Lu Changjing. The combination of these two monsters would produce a monster of unknown quality.

As time went by, Lu Changjing's attitude towards Ao Ning slowly changed. He gradually regarded her as one of his loves, instead of just seeing her for the sake of the child. The relationship between the two became better and better. Lu Changjing prepared more resources and treasures for her. While meeting the needs of the child, he also allowed Ao Ning to recover and recuperate better, so that she could slowly heal her injuries and return to the level of a six-star earth master.

Because of this child, Ao Ning's inner world had become dry, the source energy inside was almost exhausted, and he almost collapsed. The price he paid was extremely high.

Lu Changjing also felt a little distressed and tried his best to help her recover, even reducing some of his practice time for this purpose.

On the other side, the clone of Earth Lord gradually stabilized the situation in the Pearl Strait and the Water Dragon's Nest, while staying in the Water Dragon's Nest to prevent any sneak attacks from the Sirens.

The harvest this time is already amazing enough. As long as he can keep it, he will be able to bring Lu Changjing an endless supply of resources and treasures in the future, which will not only meet his personal needs for practice, but also the needs of those around him for practice.

A great blood disaster and this revenge on the Sirens brought Lu Changjing too much gain.

Standing in the water dragon's nest, amid the fluctuations of the earth soul, he had discovered another huge fleet, covering the sky and blocking the sun, rushing towards an important place of the Siren Clan.

Looking at the aura hanging above the fleet, there is a giant golden sword piercing the sky, which is the symbol of the Sky Sword Elephant.

There are a total of ten Heavenly-class warships in this fleet, including one top-level Heavenly-class warship, two high-level Heavenly-class warships, and the others are low- and medium-level Heavenly-class warships. They are equipped with millions of Heavenly Sword Elephant disciples, and they are galloping across the Wanxiang Sea with a sharp edge that can pierce the clouds.

The same scene was not happening for the first time. In order to take revenge on the Sirens, they plundered resources and industries to make up for the losses of the Wanxiang Sect in the great blood disaster.

This time, the Wanxiang Sect sent out more than 10,000 elephants, sweeping across the entire Wanxiang Sea, shocking all races, especially those races and forces that were on good terms with the Siren Clan, who were in a state of panic, fearing that they would become the target of revenge by the Wanxiang Sect.

As the undisputed overlord of this sea area, the Wanxiang Sect has the power to stir up the world and is an existence that any ethnic group must pay attention to.

It's just that Lu Changjing wanted to guard his Pearl Strait and Water Dragon's Nest with peace of mind to ensure that there would be no accidents. For him, getting these two places in this battle was already a great gain, but some people were unwilling to do so.

Just after stabilizing the situation in the Pearl Strait and the Water Dragon's Nest, Lu Changjing received news that an accident occurred on Yinshan Island, which was attacked by the Nine Yin Elephants. There was a superior celestial ghost hiding there, which had defeated the Nine Yin Elephant disciples led by Liu Juan and was fleeing in a panic. He hoped that everyone would go to rescue them.

If the rescue is successful, not only will Yinshan Island belong to the other party, but the Nine Yin Elephant will also give generous rewards.

Thinking about the distance between Mingzhu Strait and Yinshan Island, it would only take a few minutes at his speed, so it could be said that it was very close. If he could take it down, it would also be convenient for him to manage it.

Therefore, Yinshan Island is a very suitable industry for him, and it produces some intermediate-level heavenly medicines with yin attributes, which are also very suitable treasures for the disciples of Jiuyang Elephant. They can help them hone their spirit and energy, and also help them better achieve the unity of yin and yang.

Its value is even greater than that of the Pearl Strait.

It is said that the Nine Yin Elephant risked its life to snatch it, and even paid a certain price, only then did the Chief Elephant agree to share it with them.

Originally, he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune and recover his previously damaged energy.

Moreover, because of its greedy behavior during the Great Blood Disaster, the Nine Yin Elephant was not liked by the Chief Elephant or any other elephants. It cost a considerable price to obtain Yinshan Island.

Even though someone had advised them before that there were two superior heavenly ghosts in Yinshan Island whose strength far surpassed that of the Nine Yin Elephant, they were directly driven away by Liu Juan, who believed that with the large number of heavenly talismans and disposable heavenly weapons they had prepared, they would definitely be able to take over Yinshan Island.

The greedy snake swallows the elephant. The lesson of the past was still before its eyes, and Jiuyin Xiang made the same mistake again.

However, given the paranoid personality brought about by the Nine Yin Kung Fu system, it is normal for him to do such a thing. It's just a pity that there are so many delicate and beautiful women in the Nine Yin Elephant, and many of them are probably killed by Liu Juan and other high-level officials.

Lu Changjing also has a ground servant in the Nine Yin Elephant, but now he has been downgraded to a soul-catching slave, no longer a soul-picking slave. His cultivation is too low, and he is no longer qualified to be his soul-picking slave and Nine Dragons slave. A soul-catching slave is enough.

Lu Changjing had already learned something from this soul-catching slave. He had previously thought that the Nine Yin Elephant was so crazy that something might happen to it. However, he had not expected that there was a superior celestial ghost hidden in Yinshan Island. In a short period of time, the Nine Yin Elephant's army was defeated, causing countless casualties, and they could only panic and ask for help.

It just so happened that Lu Changjing was nearby, and his Nine Yang Kung Fu system was extremely effective in suppressing ghosts, making him the best person to ask for help.

Therefore, the Nine Yin Elephant quickly asked Lu Changjing for help through the Chief Elephant. Of course, the other Heavenly Lords did not let it go and also sent out a distress signal.

Unfortunately, looking at the Wanxiang Sect today, there are not many combat forces above the upper level of the Heavenly Lord, and they lost a lot in the previous blood disaster. These upper-level Heavenly Lords and extreme-level Heavenly Lords all have their own goals to conquer, so they have no time to care about the Nine Yin Elephant, which has a very bad popularity.

So apart from Lu Changjing who was relatively free, no one else could go to rescue the Nine Yin Elephant.

Seeing that even Lu Changjing was unwilling to come and was still clamoring about guarding the Water Dragon's Nest and the Pearl Strait, the Nine Yin Elephant became a little anxious and promised to give more resources and rewards.

Lu Changjing still ignored it. Seeing that the main force of the Nine Yin Elephant was about to be wiped out by the ghosts of Yinshan Island, the Nine Yin Elephant finally provided enough resources and treasures, and sent these resources and treasures to Jinji Ridge in advance.

After receiving the news, the clone of Di Zun stood up calmly, turned into a stream of light, and rushed towards the area given by Jiuyin Elephant.

Yinshan Island belongs to the territory of the ghost clan, but the ghosts here are mainly ghosts transformed from members of the Sirens clan after their death, so it also belongs to the territory of the Sirens clan.

Previously, there were two middle-level celestial ghosts guarding this place. They were celestial ghosts that were transformed from dead sea monsters.

It covers an area of ​​hundreds of millions of square kilometers, which is equivalent to one and a half Earths. It is rich in various yin-attributed treasures and exotic flowers and plants, as well as some special yin-attributed minerals, which are of astonishing value.

For the Nine Yin Elephants who practice Yin-attributed techniques, this place is definitely like a holy land, far surpassing their headquarters, the Zhen Yin Valley.

That's why the Nine Yin Elephant wanted to take over Yinshan Island at all costs, and even prepared a lot of trump cards, which were accumulated by the ancestors of the Nine Yin Elephant from generation to generation.

I thought I could take over Yinshan Island in one fell swoop and make it the place where the Nine Yin Elephants rise. Who knew...
