Chapter 0024: Changes Before the Plot Begins

On the fifteenth day of March in the forty-fourth year of Jiajing, on the Chaoyang Terrace of Chaoyang Peak in Huashan, a young man in a cyan robe was meditating with his eyes closed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the east, there is an inky blue, and the clouds are all over. Gradually, a white streak appeared on the horizon, and the white expanded, deepening and turning red. The red color became darker and darker, and the surrounding clouds were also stained with shame and turned into a red glow. The range of the red glow continued to expand, wider and brighter, and finally a thin line with ten thousand rays of light appeared on the eastern horizon.

At the moment when the sun appeared, Dongfang Xiaohan's body shook suddenly, and then he opened his eyes with a wry smile.

[Still no.] 】

Dongfang Xiaohan shook his head lightly and stood up.

A year ago, Dongfang Xiaohan opened the sixth wonder scripture and became a top master, but after that, it was difficult for him to improve his internal skills. Over the past year, his true qi has made slow progress in both quality and quantity, like a turtle crawling. At this rate, if he wants to open up the second line of Ren Du and become a grandmaster master, he is afraid that he will have to wait until fifteen to twenty years later.

Of course, Dongfang Xiaohan didn't want to do this, although he was still very young, so he used various methods to try to break through, such as taking pills and medicinal diets refined from various precious medicinal materials, borrowing the cold jade bed in the ancient tomb, and so on. Unfortunately, it didn't have much effect.

Dongfang Xiaohan actually vaguely discovered that he couldn't break through, I'm afraid it wasn't because he didn't work hard enough and didn't use enough cultivation resources, but because he didn't want to break through.

This being is not a human being, if you have to give him a name, it can only be the Dao of Heaven.

That's right, Heavenly Dao. I don't know if it's because of the crossing, since cultivating the true qi, Dongfang Xiaohan has vaguely felt that there is his own heavenly way in this world. And what's worse is that Dongfang Xiaohan faintly realized that the way of heaven was restraining and rejecting him. As Dongfang Xiaohan's true qi cultivation continued to deepen, his feelings became more and more obvious. When he broke through to the top master, this kind of restraint and rejection reached the extreme. He could feel that the essence of the five grains and the aura of heaven and earth that he could absorb was just enough for the body's usual consumption and the maintenance of true qi, and once it exceeded this amount, he would almost be unable to absorb it, so it would be difficult for him to improve his true qi cultivation. This situation also caused his inner fist to reach the peak of his strength and the fifth layer of the Golden Bell Jar, and he was no longer able to advance.

Dongfang Xiaohan didn't know if all the top masters would be excluded or if he was only himself as a traverser, but no matter what it was, it was not good for him.

If it is the latter, it means that he, an outsider, will be targeted by the Heavenly Dao, and will continue to encounter difficulties and dangers in the future. If it is the former, then it is even worse, which means that this world is really cut off from the future for martial arts cultivators and seekers.

So, what to do? How can the third goal be achieved?

As a time-traveler who has been baptized by countless novels, Dongfang Xiaohan has already thought about this problem and found a possible solution.

His solution is, luck.

The only thing that can fight against the Heavenly Dao is luck.

What is luck, Dongfang Xiaohan can't say clearly, it can only be understood as the favor of heaven and earth. Perhaps the luck itself comes from the Heavenly Dao, is part of the Heavenly Dao, or comes from a higher level of the Heavenly Dao. But no matter where you come from, getting luck is equivalent to getting the favor of the Heavenly Dao, the luck will be very good, and the strength will continue to grow, even if you do something that the Heavenly Dao does not tolerate, before the luck is consumed, the Heavenly Dao will not do anything to you.

As a time-traveler with a lot of information about this world, Dongfang Xiaohan believes that he is lucky.

Luck and strength are interrelated and complement each other, and only with luck can we have strength, and only with strength can we suppress our luck and prevent it from dissipating and draining. The reason why the protagonist in the novel will have strong strength in the end is because of the protagonist's luck, even when he is weak, he can turn evil into good fortune, and finally survive safely and can live until he becomes strong. At the same time, when the strength is strong, the luck can be suppressed.

For example, Zhang Wuji became the leader of the Ming Sect, if it weren't for his strong strength, this luck would have befallen him, and he wouldn't have been able to control it at all, after all, before becoming the leader of the Ming Sect, he would have to face the collective challenge of the masters of the six major factions.

Another example is Dongfang Xiaohan's current father, Dongfang Undefeated, as the number one master in the world, the luck brought to him by this title is really very strong. Dongfang Xiaohan has seen a lot of top masters now, Huashan Feng Qingyang, Shaolin Fangzheng, Wudang Chongxu, Let Me Go, etc., Dongfang Xiaohan has seen it, but only Dongfang Undefeated is sure that he has opened up the Seven Strange Scriptures, and the others are at least half a step behind. However, the luck of the world's number one master was finally defeated by the luck of the heroes and heroines of Ling Hu Chong and Ren Yingying, and they were defeated and died on the Black Wood Cliff.

Dongfang Xiaohan can now cultivate to the top master of the six strange scriptures, as well as the inner fist of the peak of strength, and the golden bell jar of the fifth layer of perfection, and he must have a lot of luck. However, the stagnation in the past year also made Dongfang Xiaohan understand that his luck may have allowed him to come to this point at most.

Well, if Dongfang Xiaohan can defeat Dongfang undefeated and win the title of the first person in the world, then he believes that he can definitely break through. However, now he is completely unsure that he can defeat the undefeated East.

Maybe it's because the last time he fought with Dongfang Xiaohan was stimulated, Dongfang Undefeated has made great progress in martial arts in recent years, and he opened up all the eight veins of the Qi Jing three years ago and became a grandmaster master, as for now, Dongfang Xiaohan doesn't know how high his martial arts are. Although he has the golden bell shield body, Dongfang Xiaohan is confident that he can fight with Dongfang Undefeated and even kill him, but that must be if he and Dongfang Undefeated completely fall out Dongfang Undefeated can kill him, and now it is not to that extent, Dongfang Xiaohan does not want to completely tear his face with Dongfang Undefeated, and I believe that Dongfang Undefeated does not want to. Even if he really tore his face, if Dongfang Undefeated used his increasingly unpredictable speed to fight Dongfang Xiaohan, it would be almost impossible for Dongfang Xiaohan to defeat Dongfang Undefeated.

Dongfang Xiaohan now regrets more and more about the undefeated encounter with Dongfang a few years ago. If he had directly defeated Dongfang undefeated at that time, and spread the rumors to the world, maybe there would not be such an embarrassing situation now.

In order to complete the task, Dongfang Xiaohan had to start other plans.

Dongfang Xiaohan thought about it carefully and thought that there were two ways to complete the task.

The first is to directly defeat the undefeated East. Dongfang Xiaohan joined the Huashan faction in order to obtain the identity of the righteous path, so that he could challenge Dongfang undefeated in the future.

However, not to mention that Dongfang Xiaohan can't defeat Dongfang Undefeated at all now, after a few years in the Huashan faction and a deeper understanding of the form of rivers and lakes, he realized that his previous ideas were too naïve.

Of course, the righteous path and the Demon Sect are natural enemies, but even so, there are very few opportunities for the righteous path masters to challenge the Demon Sect Master. In fact, unless a large-scale battle breaks out, the righteous path master has almost no chance to fight the demon sect master, and the past few battles between the righteous path master and the demon sect leader have been like this. In other words, Dongfang Xiaohan wants to challenge Dongfang Undefeated as a righteous path master, unless he can provoke a righteous demon war.

Well, although the Great War of the Righteous Demon will kill a lot of people, and it will also cause heavy losses to the Sun Moon God Sect, which has become his force, but when it is really fatal, Dongfang Xiaohan, as a traverser, will definitely do it regardless of it. But the problem is that even if the battle between the righteous and the demons really starts, Dongfang Xiaohan is likely to be unable to challenge Dongfang Undefeated.

Because of Dongfang Xiaohan, Dongfang Undefeated did not become obsessed with Yang Lianting as in the original book, and only regarded him as a confidant, but he became an otaku as in the original book, and the affairs of the sect were handed over to the elders - in fact, Dongfang Xiaohan has been commanding remotely. Of course, Yang Lianting no longer has the status in the original work, and there is no Bao as an undefeated substitute for Dongfang.

According to Dongfang Xiaohan's observation, although he is the sect leader, Dongfang Undefeated has become more and more indifferent to the Sun and Moon God Sect. Dongfang Xiaohan secretly controlled the Sun Moon Divine Sect's high-level plot to seize power, Dongfang Xiaohan believed that Dongfang was absolutely aware of it, but he had never done anything. Well, this can be understood as he doesn't care about his son's seizure of power. However, in the past year, Xiang Wentian has been active frequently, and he almost did not publicly turn out of the Black Wood Cliff, Ren Yingying avoided living in Luoyang, and continued to subdue the middle and low-level sects in private. And without Yang Lianting, who is a fox and a fake tiger in the original book, the actual controller Dongfang Xiaohan is also far away in Huashan, and several elders and some general flag owners who are not controlled by Dongfang Xiaohan on the Black Wood Cliff are also making small moves in private. But for these situations, Dongfang Undefeated ignored them and let them go. Therefore, even if the battle between the righteous and demons really starts, he will most likely just hide on the Black Wood Cliff regardless of it, and let his subordinates fight to the death. Anyway, even if the Sun Moon God Sect is destroyed, he is still a generation of martial arts heroes, no matter what he wants, as long as he makes a move, he can definitely get it.

After thinking about it, Dongfang Xiaohan couldn't help but find out that if he wanted to become the "No. 1 master in the world" by defeating Dongfang Undefeated, the most suitable identity was still on the side of the Demon Sect: either he would go back to Heimu Cliff now and launch a coup d'état directly, or he would rebel with him in the future.

In other words, Dongfang Xiaohan's action to join the Huashan faction was completely useless. Uh, well, it's okay to marry Yang Yuxi, it's not completely useless.

Dongfang Xiaohan had secretly controlled the power of the Sun Moon God Sect, so he could use this method at any time. However, the lack of strength makes this method impossible to implement.

Therefore, Dongfang Xiaohan began to prepare the second method: let Dongfang undefeated "disappear" and "the position of the world's number one master" is vacant, and then he will overwhelm the crowd and ascend to the throne. This method is actually more feasible than the first method, but it requires much more preparation work in the early stage, so it is still being prepared.

Fortunately, there are still a few years left in the mission time, and Dongfang Xiaohan can afford to wait.

However, even the second option requires sufficient strength. Although Dongfang Xiaohan's current strength is strong enough, what if an old monster who has been living in seclusion for many years jumps out of nowhere? Or was Dongfang's undefeated reaction different from what he had planned, forcing him to force his first plan?

Therefore, Dongfang Xiaohan still has to continue to strengthen his strength. To this end, he still planned to collect some luck, and now his plan has begun.

And how to get luck, Dongfang Xiaohan also has certain ideas.

There is a plot and characters in this world, so the protagonist, the supporting role, and the power where the protagonist is located, there will be a lot of luck, the protagonist is the most, and the rest of the people decrease in order according to the relationship with the protagonist. As long as you get close to these people and forces and deliberately make friends, you will definitely gain something, well, if it is extermination, maybe there will be gains. At the same time, if you can reverse some of the tragedies in the original plot, you may also have gains.

Therefore, even if Dongfang Xiaohan feels sorry, he still secretly uses soul transfer. Fa controlled Ren Yingying and prepared to include him in the harem, and joined the Huashan faction to secretly prepare to befriend Ling Hu Chong.

However, luck is not so easy to get. When Dongfang Xiaohan's martial arts began to stagnate a year ago, the protagonist's luck in the hero and heroine also began to launch a counterattack against Dongfang Xiaohan.

It was originally set that in the forty-third year of Jiajing, that is, on the seventh day of July when Ren Yingying was eighteen years old, Dongfang Xiaohan would marry Ren Yingying. But three months before getting married, that is, when Dongfang Xiaohan's cultivation had just begun to stagnate, Ren Yingying suddenly came with news that the wedding had been postponed, and the time would be set again. At this time, Fang Long came with the news that Ren Yingying left the Black Wood Cliff and went to live in Luoyang. Yingmei and Yinglan, who stayed by Ren Yingying's side, also sent news that although Ren Yingying was still with the two of them now, she often broke them away intentionally or unintentionally when dealing with affairs, and did not let them get involved. There was also news from Shenlongwei's side that Xiang Wentian had often haunted Luoyang in the past year, and there were many middle- and lower-level sects with good martial arts who had secretly gone to Luoyang.

Xiang Wentian should have inquired clearly, let me go did not die but was imprisoned. Ren Yingying also knew, so she was deliberately alienating Dongfang Xiaohan. Maybe she won't deliberately be an enemy of Dongfang Xiaohan, but she is no longer so close to Dongfang Xiaohan.

With the powerful spiritual power accumulated by Dongfang Xiaohan and the true qi cultivation that far surpassed Ren Yingying, the soul transfer he exerted was great. Fa Ren Yingying should not be able to get rid of it. Now that Ren Yingying is out of the control of Dongfang Xiaohan to a certain extent, except for the luck counterattack on the heroine, Dongfang Xiaohan can't think of any other reason.

In Ling Hu Chong, something similar happened.

After accepting Yue Lingshan as an apprentice, Dongfang Xiaohan was very attentive to cultivating Yue Lingshan, although he didn't want Chong Ling's love to continue to be staged, but he also gave Linghu Chong a lot of guidance. As a result, after a few years, perhaps it was Dongfang Xiaohan's unique temperament and strong spiritual power that brought about the attraction, or perhaps it was Dongfang Xiaohan's superb martial arts and profound knowledge that moved the girl's heart, Yue Lingshan did not have the feeling in the original book for Ling Hu Chong, but looked at Dongfang Xiaohan's eyes more and more full of spring thoughts. Especially a year ago, Yue Lingshan encountered danger when he went down the mountain to walk the rivers and lakes, if Dongfang Xiaohan hadn't arrived in time, Yue Lingshan would have really died in that accident. And it was on that occasion that Yue Lingshan thought that he was going to die, so he expressed his heart to Dongfang Xiaohan. After being rescued by Dongfang Xiaohan, Yue Lingshan also let go of her mind, since she had already said it, she simply stopped hiding it, and launched an attack on Dongfang Xiaohan in a bright and bright way.

In the era when love was first opened, there was a better and stronger person, and it was actually very normal for the heart of a young girl to be attracted away. As a result, Yue Lingshan's feelings for Ling Hu Chong really became a brother and sister relationship, and the love for Ling Hu Chong in the original book was completely transferred to Dongfang Xiaohan, and it was more intense and unrestrained. She even took the initiative to hint to Dongfang Xiaohan many times. Although Dongfang Xiaohan is already married, according to Dongfang Xiaohan's observation, Yue Lingshan has already finished Yang Yuxi. Yang Yuxi, who originally had a poor perception of Yue Lingshan because of her rival relationship, has now begun to remain silent about Yue Lingshan's emotional offensive, and sometimes even says two good things to her.

As for Yue Lingshan's situation, Yue Buqun and his wife turned a blind eye and turned a deaf ear and did not interfere without interference, maybe they were secretly happy in their hearts and happy to see it happen. Dongfang Xiaohan's martial arts have become higher and higher in the past two years, and even their husband and wife have benefited. Yue Buqun opened the sixth Qi Sutra not long ago and became a top master, and Ning Zhong was already in the late stage of the first-class, only separated from the first-class peak. In this case, of course, Yue Buqun and his wife could not have any ill feelings towards Dongfang Xiaohan, and it was not Dongfang Xiaohan who provoked Yue Lingshan, but Yue Lingshan himself. As for Dongfang Xiaohan's marriage, it is common for the eldest husband to have three wives and four concubines. If Yue Lingshan had to marry Dongfang Xiaohan, the two of them would never object.

However, Yue Lingshan's feelings shifted, but Ling Hu Chong did not.

Yue Lingshan is the age of the girl Huaichun, and with Dongfang Xiaohan as a comparison, Hu Chong, a sloppy prodigal son who is greedy for alcohol, is overshadowed, and it is natural that there is an emotional shift. And Ling Hu Chong is different, he is older than Dongfang Xiaohan, and it is not so easy to transfer emotions. There are few women in the Huashan faction, and Yue Lingshan is the most beautiful of the girls who have not yet married, plus the emotions of growing up together with childhood sweethearts, with the eighteenth change of Yue Lingshan's daughter, she is becoming more and more provocative and slim, so that Hu Chong's feelings for her are also rapidly moving closer to the original book. Correspondingly, Ling Hu Chong's feelings towards Dongfang Xiaohan have become more and more complicated, especially in the past year, with Yue Lingshan's straightforward expression, Ling Hu Chong's eyes looking at Dongfang Xiaohan have become more and more wrong, and Dongfang Xiaohan can easily see the heavy jealousy and hostility in his eyes.

The heroes and heroines with happy endings in the original book began to alienate themselves, but the supporting characters who ended miserably showed kindness and even love to themselves, and the time of the transition was still stuck a year ago, what does this mean, do you need to say it?

But......

[That's what's interesting.] Dongfang Xiaohan greeted the rising sun, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
