Chapter 112 Taiyin Yuehua [5K monthly ticket request and subscription]
Although this five-colored black conch was cultivated by Taoist Wuyun, it has irreconcilable conflicts with both Taoist Wuyun and the Nine-bend Spirit Crane.
First of all, he himself is the foundation of the Taoist Wuyun's enlightenment. As long as he breaks through to the foundation-building stage, the Taoist Wuyun will definitely refine it to make up for his foundation.
This Taoist Wu Yun is an ordinary foundation-building cultivator who completed his foundation with the Foundation-Building Pill. Because his own foundation of the Dao is not perfect enough, he needs to polish and refine his foundation after birth.
For him, if he could swallow a five-colored black snail with a rare bloodline, it would surely make his own foundation of Taoism more and more perfect, close to the level of a superior foundation of Taoism, and then break through to the late stage of foundation building.
Therefore, the Five Elements Taoist and the Five-Colored Mysterious Snail are enemies of the Great Dao.
Secondly, the Qinghe lineage wiped out the entire conch clan here, which is an irreconcilable genocide.
It would be fine if it was controlled by the soul seal, but at this time the soul seal in the Five-Colored Mystical Snail's sea of consciousness had been dissolved, which made its betrayal a natural thing.
Now it seems that all this is part of Minghuang Jianzi's plan.
"The first step is to secretly cultivate the Bright Moon Shell to lure the snake out of its hole."
"The second step is to have someone sell the Five Color Spirit Liquid to help the two upgrade the Five Color Mysterious Snail into a rare bloodline, so that the Nine-Curved Spirit Crane will feel that they have a chance of winning and then take the risk of stepping into Minghuang Jianzi's plan."
"The third move is to add a drop of Pure Spirit Liquid to the Five-Colored Spirit Liquid to silently dissolve the Beast Taming Soul Seal in the Five Elements Mysterious Snail's Sea of Consciousness, causing it to turn against us at the critical moment and deal a fatal blow to the Nine-Curved Spirit Crane."
"These three moves are linked together, and every step is calculated. Even among the various situations I have seen in my previous life, they are not bad at all."
Ye Linyuan's mind was in turmoil, and a hint of recognition appeared in his eyes.
Just as he was sighing, the atmosphere between the two sides above the sky became stagnant.
But Minghuang Jianzi stood calmly in the air, looking at Jiuqu Linghe calmly and said, "Surrender your head. If you give up struggling now, I will protect Qinghe Xianmen for three hundred years after I become a Taoist."
"impossible!"
The Nine-Curved Spirit Crane made a deafening sound and fled away on the spot.
But Minghuang Jianzi remained calm and shook his head calmly, saying, "You can't escape."
"Chong-"
In an instant, a bright sword light broke through the air and slashed towards the Nine-Curved Spirit Crane with the power to destroy everything.
At this time, the Nine-Bend Spirit Crane had been seriously injured. Facing such a blow, it was completely powerless to recover. When it was about to be killed by one blow, a bright red talisman suddenly lit up around its body.
Then a red talisman rose into the sky, revealing a sky full of red light.
At this moment, in the sea of clouds, a setting sun slowly set, spreading its faint afterglow, coating the vast sea of clouds with a layer of light golden gauze.
Suddenly, the brilliant setting sun smashed down and collided with Minghuang Jianzi's sword with a loud bang, causing an unprecedented collision and a gorgeous sunset that swept across the mountains and rivers.
"The setting sun melts gold, the evening clouds merge into one, it is indeed you."
"You don't dare to come to the Tianxing Sea in person, but use a quasi-third-level spiritual talisman to hinder me. Is this your method?"
After all the collisions were over, Minghuang Jianzi slowly retracted the Minghuang Sword, and a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes.
He glanced at the sky, but saw only the silhouette of the Nine-Curved Spirit Crane, which had disappeared several miles away.
Without any hesitation, Minghuang Jianzi once again flew his sword into the air and chased in the direction where the Nine-Curved Spirit Crane disappeared.
At the same time, the seriously injured Wuyun Sanren took the opportunity to escape, and the Five-Colored Mysterious Conch disappeared at some point. The foundation-building masters of both the human and demon races also chased in the direction where the Nine-Curved Spirit Crane disappeared.
In an instant, the battlefield was empty again, leaving only the human race's home ground.
"Roar--"
But at this moment, bursts of roaring sounds came from outside the Conch Five Islands.
But in the vast ocean, tens of thousands of monsters gathered together at some point. Led by a group of monsters that had reached the peak of Qi training, they rushed towards the Five Conch Islands.
"My men, quickly take back the Moonlight Shell."
At the same time, the voice of the great demon Hei Kui was heard from above the sky.
While Taoist Xuanyu was fighting with the Black Kui monster, he said in a voice that resounded through the heavens and the earth: "You must protect the Bright Moon Shell. Whoever can send it back to the Azure Crane Immortal Sect will be given a chance to build a foundation."
At this point, they had already disappeared at the end of the world.
At the same time, the Great Elder of Qinghe Immortal Sect and others decisively mobilized their men and shouted angrily, "Everyone prepare to fight."
As soon as they said this, the demons pounced on them.
At this time, the human cultivators had consumed a lot of mana, and had suffered heavy losses in the previous fight for the Enlightenment Flower. Facing the attack from the demon clan, they soon showed signs of being unable to resist.
Seeing that the situation was about to collapse, the three elders of Qinghe Xianmen tried their best to stop the group of monsters. They looked at Su Shaoyu with an extremely solemn expression and said, "Young Master, you take the Bright Moon Shell and fight back. We will cover your retreat."
Su Shaoyu's expression changed slightly when he heard that, but he nodded decisively. He used the shortcut spell to manifest a giant whale from the sea, and broke through the encirclement and killed his way out.
For a moment, the battlefield was in chaos. Countless monks did not care about leaving, and they all drove their large ships towards the Qinghe Islands, fighting and retreating.
The members of the Ye family also mixed in the fleet and fought their way out of the Conch Five Islands.
"Kill, kill, kill them all!"
In the chaos, Ye Linyuan suddenly saw an old figure.
The person who made the move was none other than Patriarch Liu. The Liu family treasure ship on which he was located was trapped in a siege. There were only seven or eight cultivators left out of the original thirty or so cultivators on the ship, and all of them had sustained extremely serious injuries.
Elder Liu roared with all his strength, and his combat power increased to the late stage of Qi training. He fought desperately to find a glimmer of hope for his people.
Unfortunately, on this battlefield, the strength of those in the late stage of Qi training is ultimately insufficient.
Soon, the Liu family's treasure ship was completely shattered, and even the ancestor Liu was swallowed by a giant python.
"Ugh--"
Ye Linyuan sighed, then left with everyone in the Ye family without looking back.
In fact, the Ye family was also attacked by a large number of monsters. Fortunately, the strength of the Ye family members was indeed strong. At this time, they all burst out with all their strength. Coupled with Ye Linyuan's secret attack, they finally managed to break out of the encirclement.
No one knew how long it had been, but when they had fled hundreds of miles away, they discovered that there were only about 700 ships of various sizes left, and there were only about 2,000 monks left alive.
"After this battle, I'm afraid that more than 80% of the cultivators in the Qinghe Islands have been lost."
Old Man Ye looked at the scattered wrecked boats where people were escaping and couldn't help showing a trace of fear.
If they were not strong enough and the Lingfeng was not sturdy enough, they would probably have been trapped in the battlefield by now.
"It's already good enough that so many cultivators have survived this catastrophe."
Ye Linyuan spoke calmly, then looked into the distance and said, "We have already fought our way out of the monster tribe's encirclement. We shouldn't be in too much danger next."
"You guys should follow the main force back to the Qinghe Islands. There should be a lot of treasures left on the battlefield this time. I will go back to the battlefield first to see if I can find some treasures."
When everyone present heard this, their expressions changed slightly. Ye Qinyang couldn't help but asked, "Will it be dangerous for you to go back alone?"
"With my current strength, as long as I don't encounter a foundation-building monster, I can still survive."
Having said this, Ye Linyuan gave a few more instructions, then jumped out of the Lingfeng treasure ship and disappeared into the vast ocean.
Shortly after leaving Lingfeng, Ye Linyuan headed towards Xuanling Island. Going back to search for treasures was just an excuse. The destination of his trip was Xuanling Island.
The reason why we have to go to Xuanling Island is that the formation in Xuanling Island has an extraordinary origin, and its methods are even more amazing than the Five Elements Guiyuan Earth Vein.
Since the person who set up the formation set up the formation on Xuanling Island, it is likely that there will be a time when it will be useful.
Ye Linyuan was too lazy to go around in circles, so he planned to go to Xuanling Island first and then act accordingly depending on the situation.
"I hope my speculation is correct."
After the last thought flashed through his mind, Ye Linyuan urged Qiu Shui Chang Tian to walk on the sea. This shortcut magic was indeed mysterious. In just one day and one night, he crossed thousands of miles of ocean and arrived outside the Xuanling Island.
After taking a look at Xuanling Island from hundreds of miles away, Ye Linyuan dived into the seabed and arrived outside Xuanling Island quietly.
Arriving at the seaside of Xuanling Island, Ye Linyuan checked the reefs in the sea one by one and confirmed his previous guess. "It is indeed this formation. It seems that this place is the real backhand of the opponent."
"Calculating the time, with the speed of Su Shaoyu and Xuanling Sanren, they may be here soon."
Ye Linyuan's mind was floating, he pushed the Turtle Breathing Technique to its extreme, and then found a secret place to hide.
His Turtle Breathing Technique has been cultivated to the Mahayana realm. This technique can conceal the perception of a cultivator of a higher realm. Even a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building may not be able to detect his existence if he does not investigate carefully.
At this time, he used the turtle breathing technique to hide himself, quietly waiting for the opportunity to come.
After waiting for half a day, a man in blue clothes came from the sea outside Xuanling Island and walked into Xuanling Island calmly.
In order to avoid being discovered, Ye Linyuan only sensed the man's breath and realized that the person was none other than Xuanling Sanren.
Not long after Xuanling Sanren arrived, another figure riding a giant whale broke through the air and landed calmly on Xuanling Island.
This person was Su Shaoyu. After he arrived at Xuanling Island, he immediately looked at Xuanling Sanren and said, "I didn't expect you to get here first."
"I'm familiar with the route, so I didn't waste any time on the way."
Xuanling Sanren spoke calmly, then looked at Su Shaoyu with a burning gaze and said, "I guess you haven't lost the Bright Moon Shell, right?"
"Of course not."
Su Shaoyu smiled and said, "However, the Bright Moon Shell is a must-have for the Nine-Curved Ancestor. If you want the Bright Moon Pearl, you have to wait until the plan succeeds before you can take it out."
"Senior Jiuqu's matter is naturally the most important."
Xuanling Sanren nodded, then calmly came to the core of the formation of Xuanling Island, and said in front of a huge platform: "Our plan has reached the final step. Once the formation here is activated, we will definitely switch between offense and defense."
"By then, Patriarch Jiuqu will hopefully reach the late stage of foundation building, and you and I will also have a glimmer of hope to build a superior foundation for the Dao."
Su Shaoyu also nodded and looked at the center of the formation in front of him with a solemn look in his eyes.
At the same time, Ye Linyuan, who was hiding in the dark, also saw the situation of the core of the formation.
But in the center of the formation, there was a pool of water about ten feet in size. Above the pool, a bright mirror was suspended upside down, constantly absorbing the moonlight from the sky and turning it into faint moonlight that fell into the pool.
At this time, the pool was already filled with rich silver-white moonlight, and the faint moonlight was almost taking shape.
"Taiyin Yuehua, it is indeed this formation."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart and nodded slightly. All this was within his expectations.
The formation of Xuanling Island is extremely special. It is called the 'Taiyin Shehua Formation' and is a formation passed down from ancient times.
This formation is centered around the second-grade, top-grade spiritual tool 'Moonlight Mirror', and is supplemented by a large number of spiritual stones and array eyes. It can absorb the power of the nine-day moonlight and condense the moonlight energy of extraordinary value.
Although the moonlight energy is not the Taiyin energy, it also contains a trace of Taoism. For cultivators, it is a priceless treasure.
Especially for the cultivators and monsters who practice the Way of Taiyin, this is an inestimable treasure for practice.
"After ten years of accumulation, the Moon Energy has accumulated enough."
Su Shaoyu spoke slowly, and then took out the Soul Binding Net from his sleeve, looking at Jiaoyue Shell trapped in it, and said: "With the blessing of this formation, Jiaoyue Shell's cultivation will surely transform, and it will have the foundation and potential to be promoted to the foundation building stage."
"Let's do it."
Having said this, Su Shaoyu locked the Bright Moon Shell in the center of the treasure pool.
Afterwards, Su Shaoyu and Xuanling Sanren looked at each other and started to use their hand gestures to activate the formation.
In an instant, all the formation nodes on the entire Xuanling Island lit up, and an invisible suction force suddenly swept across the world, and began to continuously suck in the moonlight from the moon above the nine heavens.
Within a radius of hundreds of miles, endless moonlight gathered here and continuously merged into the core treasure mirror.
After being transformed by the magic mirror, it turned into rich moon energy and penetrated into the body of the Bright Moon Shell.
"hiss--"
For a moment, the Bright Moon Shell let out a painful wail.
Even though the power of the moonlight was extremely gentle, the violent integration into the body still caused Jiaoyuebei to feel immense pain.
It can only be forced to absorb it, continuously transforming it into the power of the bright moon and integrating it into its own blood.
"call out--"
Just at this moment, a green light flew from the distant sky.
A green crane flew into the formation and appeared at the core of Xuanling Island.
"Ancestor."
The moment he saw the person coming, Su Shaoyu hurried to greet him.
The one who came was the Nine-bend Spirit Crane. At this moment, it was in a very miserable state. More than half of its gorgeous green feathers were shattered, and its body was covered with scars. There was also a sword wound piercing its chest.
With such injuries, a Qi-cultivating cultivator would probably have died, but the Nine-bend Spirit Crane was indeed a spirit beast in the middle stage of foundation building, and it still maintained a certain level of combat power.
At this moment, it did not care about Su Shaoyu. It stared at the Bright Moon Shell at the core of the spring, and could not help but said with great surprise: "Okay, okay, I will just wait for the Bright Moon Shell to absorb enough moonlight power. I will swallow it and hopefully my bloodline will transform again."
"Then both of you will be greatly rewarded."
At this moment, Jiuqu Linghe was extremely excited.
The current Bright Moon Shell is still a little short of what he needs, but once the Bright Moon Shell refines the moon energy, its own bloodline will be extremely abundant and it will directly possess the foundation of a foundation-building spirit beast.
The demon race mainly cultivates the power of blood. Even if Jiaoyuebei cannot become a foundation-building spirit beast immediately, the abundant blood power will allow it to possess some of the qualities of a foundation-building spirit beast.
For the Nine-bend Spirit Crane, eating such a Moonlight Shell, even if it is not as good as the Moonlight Shell of the Foundation Establishment Realm, is almost the same. After all, what he needs is the bloodline foundation.
By then, the Nine-bend Spirit Crane's cultivation will break through the late stage of foundation building, and its bloodline will surely transform again. Even if it cannot become a rare spirit beast, it can become a leader among mutated spirit beasts and have a possibility of breaking through to the golden elixir stage.
Therefore, this is not only a chance for Jiuqu Linghe to break through the late stage of foundation building, but also the greatest opportunity for him to get a glimpse of the golden elixir realm.
At this moment, Jiuqu Linghe could not hide his excitement, but his eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said with some surprise and anger: "You came so fast."
As soon as he finished speaking, a bright yellow sword light flew from the sky and slashed on the formation with irresistible power.
In an instant, the formation shook violently, and a faint crack appeared.
"The top-grade spirit eye is still too weak. Even if a large amount of spirit stones are added to the center of the formation, its power is still far from enough."
Jiuqu Linghe's heart sank, and he immediately activated the formation to resist the sword light from the sky.
At the same time, the sword light retracted, and Minghuang Jianzi landed calmly on the edge of the sea. Then he looked at the Xuanling Island in front of him and said in surprise: "The Taiyin Shehua Array, it turns out to be those guys who are in the way."
Jiuqu Linghe's face was extremely solemn, and he stared at Minghuang Jianzi and said, "With the help of the Taiyin Shehua formation, I can resist you for a while. Once I transform and swallow the Bright Moon Shell, you may not be able to do anything to me."
"It's better to leave early. This is the end of what we have to do today."
"You think a mere remnant of the formation can stop me?"
Minghuang Jianzi sneered, then urged the Minghuang ancient sword to chop. Suddenly, a brilliant sword light whizzed down, and the Taiyin Shehua formation shook violently on the spot.
Just as the situation was getting bad, several bright lights suddenly appeared in the darkness and attacked Minghuang Jianzi from behind.
"Humph--"
Facing the sneak attack, Minghuang Jianzi casually activated a sword energy to resist, and with a wave of his sleeve, he knocked those streams of light back.
It was not until this time that everyone noticed that they were two wolf-fang spiritual weapons made of second-grade black iron.
"Low-grade spiritual weapon."
Minghuang Jianzi's eyes moved slightly, and then he glanced at the figure in the dark, and said coldly: "You are such a coward, you dare not come in person, but you dare to disrupt the situation with only two second-level low-grade puppets?"
Only then did Ye Linyuan notice that two puppet figures with extraordinary momentum flew out from the darkness in the distance.
