Chapter 454 Change of plan
Only half a day after Xin Zhen and others returned home, Fan Jie and Xiao Feng came back one after another, and both of them looked unhappy.

Xiao Feng said: "I went to Mount Longhu. Since you are not allowed to enter Mount Longhu now, I explored the area nearby. It is true that a great battle took place on Mount Longhu.

After asking some practitioners, they found out that the old Heavenly Master of Mount Longhu had indeed died, and the murderer was none other than the four great demons.

As for whether there is a mastermind behind this, it is unknown, but with the strength of Longhu Mountain, the four great monsters are unlikely to be defeated, so there is a high probability that there is a mastermind behind this."

Fan Jie confirmed what Xiao Feng said, "The news is indeed true, and it just reached us. I went to ask for an audience with the head of the Six Departments, but he was unwilling to see me. I broke into his office and he had no choice but to meet me.

He said that a big change had indeed taken place in Mount Longhu, and now the various governments were falling apart, and the world was going to be in real chaos. Although the Hua Dynasty had collapsed, there was still Mount Longhu to suppress it. Now even Mount Longhu had collapsed, and the world was really going to be in chaos. "

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "How is Zhang Gongyu?"

Fan Jie shook his head and said, "It's not clear yet. The news that came out is still vague."

Xiao Feng said: "I heard that Longhu Mountain has been divided into several factions, and they are now attacking each other. I heard that there are factions such as Zhang Xifu and Xu Zhichao. It seems that there is also a group of eight northern governors who are united. It is very chaotic."

Xin Zhen frowned and shook his head when he heard this, saying, "The collapse of Longhu Mountain has a huge impact on us. We have to revise our plan."

Fan Jie nodded and said, "It is indeed time to revise it. The impact has already appeared. The head of the Six Departments is hiding from me because he doesn't want to fulfill his previous promise. I don't think we can take Tiger Hill anymore."

Xin Zhen shook his head and said, "This won't have much impact. We'll just camp in Tiger Hill and see who jumps out and defeat them.

I am worried about the reaction of the Dragon Clan and the other major inheritances taking advantage of the situation."

Everyone immediately looked at each other.

Xin Zhen hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's go to Lingshan."

Fan Jie asked, "What are you going to Lingshan for?"

Xin Zhen said: "That Bodhi tree spirit is good at using illusions and knows formations, and can even conceal some of the secrets of heaven. We can use Lingshan as the base of our sect to buy some time."

Fan Jie frowned and said, "Will the Bodhi tree spirit agree to this? It probably regards Lingshan as its own private land. How can it allow us to stay there?"

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "It is no problem for us to occupy Tiger Hill, but Tiger Hill has no strategic location to defend. If we stay on Tiger Hill, we will inevitably become the target of public criticism. With our strength, we probably cannot hold it.

It is better for us to go to Lingshan. There is a Bodhi tree spirit in Lingshan, which can block the secrets of heaven. The dragon clan will not be able to find us, and there will be no conflict with the big clans in Jiangnan.

As for whether the Bodhi tree spirit can accept it... I will try to convince it."

Fan Jie and others were skeptical, but decided to believe Xin Zhen.

The group flew over Taihu Lake and landed on the clouds at Lingshan Mountain.

The Bodhi tree spirit popped its head out and said unhappily, "What are you doing here again? I don't know much about Longhu Mountain. You can find out everything by asking around. Don't disturb my practice."

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "There is something I want to discuss with you."

The Bodhi tree spirit immediately became alert and said, "I have nothing to discuss with you. Please leave quickly and don't bother me."

Xin Zhen glanced at Lingshan and said with a smile: "Lingshan is so big, you can't use much land by yourself, why don't we live next to each other and take care of each other on weekdays, what do you think?"

The Bodhi tree spirit was immediately furious and said, "So you want to steal my temple. You were hypocritically talking about getting rid of the four pests before. I knew there are no good people in this world. Get out of here, or none of you can escape!"

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "If you don't let us run away, then you want to keep us here. Very good, very good. Senior, we won't fight with you for this hilltop. We will camp on the hilltop opposite. Is that okay with you?"

The Bodhi tree spirit was so angry that its leaves rustled and it cursed, "Shameless boy, you are here to rob us. This is absolutely impossible. Leave now. If you don't leave, I will start a massacre!"

Xin Zhen raised his foot and stomped the ground. The Bodhi tree spirit suddenly felt that it had lost contact with the earth. It was immediately horrified and said, "What kind of magic is this? Why can it restrain my illusion so well!"

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "My method is called Beidou Dafa. It can draw on the power of the Beidou stars and control the rivers, lakes, seas, and mountains. Your magical power is just toying with people's hearts. It is nothing but child's play in front of Beidou Dafa."

What Xin Zhen said was not to deceive the Bodhi tree spirit. Beidou Dafa was a mental method for practicing superior internal energy in the Nine Yin Scriptures.

After many verifications, Xin Zhen discovered that the origin of each mental method in the Nine Yin Scriptures was unusual, and this Beidou Dafa might be very unusual.

I studied it when I had nothing to do and found that the Big Dipper Method was indeed unusual. It was said to be a method of cultivating inner strength, but in fact it was also a formation that used the power of the stars. So last time I used the Big Dipper Method to break the illusion of the Bodhi tree spirit, but in fact that was not its true use. It was just using the Big Dipper to locate and break the foundation of the illusion.

Beidou Dafa is actually a sacred method of attack, which is somewhat similar to the Quanzhen Sect's Tiangang Beidou Formation, and there are many similarities between them.

Upon hearing this, the Bodhi tree spirit immediately showed a greedy look and said, "Do you want to stay in Lingshan for a while?"

Xin Zhen shook his head and said, "I want to establish a sect in Lingshan."

The Bodhi tree spirit sneered, "Longhu Mountain is no longer viable. You will become the rats crossing the street in Jiangnan East Road. Why bother to establish a sect? Run for your lives now."

Xin Zhen shook his head and said, "I was never from Mount Longhu originally. I just cooperated with Mount Longhu. Now that Mount Longhu is gone, I will establish my own sect with my own heritage."

The Bodhi tree spirit was a little surprised, but did not say anything. Instead, he said, "Take out the Beidou Dafa and exchange it with me. I can give you the opposite hilltop to establish a sect."

Xin Zhen sneered and said, "You wish. This Lingshan Mountain does not belong to you. It belongs to the original Lingshan Temple. You are just a man-eating monster entrenched on this Lingshan Mountain. What qualifications do you have to use this Lingshan Mountain as a bargaining chip to bargain with me?

I came here to negotiate with you, so that we can live side by side, not to ask you for the mountain, because it is not yours. Do you understand what I mean?"

The Bodhi tree spirit was furious and said, “How can this not be mine? I became enlightened and became a spirit in Lingshan Mountain. This is my place of practice. The Lingshan Temple was not built until hundreds of years later. I came here much earlier than them!”

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "Then there is nothing we can do. I don't think it's yours. If you think it's yours, then we can only see the truth with our own hands. By the way, besides this magic of illusion, do you have any other abilities? It'd be better if you do, otherwise you're dead."

The branches and leaves of the Bodhi tree began to tremble. After a while, it said with some difficulty: "Then you can camp on the top of the opposite side. If there is nothing else, don't come over here."

Fan Jie and others looked at Xin Zhen in surprise.

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Isn't this great? If you feel bored in the future, you can always come and chat with me. What a great thing, don't you think?"

The Bodhi tree spirit stopped talking and acted as if Xin Zhen didn't exist.

Xin Zhen asked again: "Are you interested in Beidou Dafa?"

The leaves of the Bodhi tree spirit trembled all over, but still did not speak.

Seeing that the Bodhi tree spirit was silent, Xin Zhen said, "You are not interested? Forget it. I was thinking of making a deal with you. Since you are not interested, forget it. Let's go."

Xin Zhen turned around and was about to leave. The Bodhi tree spirit finally couldn't help but said, "Hey, kid, what deal are you talking about? Tell me about it."

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "I was thinking that we will establish a sect here in the future, and the mountain gate will lack the protection of the formation. If you are willing to help cover it up with illusion magic, I will reward you with the Big Dipper Dharma, but since you are not interested..."

The Bodhi tree spirit immediately said, "Who said I'm not interested? But, if this happens, wouldn't I become your sect's guardian beast?"

Xin Zhen shook his head and said: "How can it be called a mountain-guarding beast? Senior, you can also provide concealment, it's just a by-product, and you have also gained a magical power, right?
Senior, to tell you the truth, this Big Dipper Method is also called the Tiangang Big Dipper Formation, which is a sword formation. If you have mastered this sword formation, you will have the means to attack in the future."

As soon as these words came out, the leaves and flowers of the Bodhi tree began to tremble, and asked, "Are you so kind?"

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Everyone gets what they need. Senior, you can help me defend the mountain by providing me with offensive means. I have also gained a lot."

The Bodhi tree spirit thought for a while and said, "Okay, I agree to this, but I will make it clear in advance that I can help you cover the mountain gate and set up the Tiangang Beidou formation, but if a strong enemy attacks, I will not risk my life to help you block it. Remember this."

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "Is it settled then?"

The Bodhi tree spirit shouted, "It's settled, when will you give me the Tiangang Beidou Formation?"

A little light appeared on Xin Zhen's fingertips. He pointed casually, and the light floated towards the Bodhi tree spirit. He said, "The Tiangang Beidou formation has three levels. This is the first level. When our cooperation deepens and we trust each other, I will naturally give you the second level."

The Bodhi tree spirit asked, "Aren't there three floors? Why are you only giving me the first and second floors?"

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "This Tiangang Beidou Formation is the most precious treasure of my Huashan Sword Sect. Giving you the second layer is already a violation of my ancestral law. How can I give you the last layer as well?

But with these two layers, as long as your cultivation is high enough, even a Yuanying master can’t do anything to you.”

The Bodhi tree spirit snorted, and a thick Bodhi leaf took in a ray of light. The light flashed and disappeared, and had already merged into the body of the Bodhi tree spirit.
