Chapter 184 Inheritance of the Heavenly Monument [5K]
Everyone had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw Ye Linyuan return safely, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Shui Hanqing checked his body and saw that he was not injured, so he asked, "How was the trip?"
"I fished in troubled waters and gained a little."
Ye Linyuan told the story slowly and informed everyone of the circumstances of the trip, but concealed the news that he had obtained the Bloodline Fruit. He only said that a mysterious Foundation Establishment Master had stolen the Bloodline Fruit at the critical moment.
After all, a second-grade rare bloodline fruit is extremely valuable to the demon clan, no less than a genuine golden elixir. Once it gets out, it may bring some trouble to themselves.
After telling the story of this trip, Ye Linyuan looked at Song Qingming and said, "I got your information this time and I took advantage of the situation to get some benefits. I will not treat you unfairly after I get out."
Hearing this, Song Qingming immediately smiled and said, "Brother Ye has done his utmost to heal my wounds. How could I covet these benefits?"
After hearing this, Ye Linyuan no longer talked about giving back.
In fact, the opportunity that Song Qingming brought him to obtain the Bloodline Fruit was probably of great value. After all, this item represented that Ye Linyuan would have another golden elixir combat power in the future.
But for people like them, favors are often more valuable than some treasures. Even if Ye Linyuan returns the favor now, it will only be icing on the cake for Song Qingming.
If you keep this friendship, at the critical moment of forming the elixir in the future, it may be a chance to change your destiny.
Moreover, it is not a good idea to give Song Qingming too much benefit at this time. It is better to conceal the matter for the time being, and then take care of Song Qingming when his cultivation reaches the Golden Core Realm in the future.
Thinking of this, Ye Linyuan suppressed the matter, then looked into the distance and said: "Calculating the time, we are also close to the core of the Blood Soul Secret Realm. Let's meet up with Liu Daoyou and the others first."
"..."
Not long after, Ye Linyuan, Liu Xuanheng, Taoist Wuyun and others gathered again in front of the core of the Blood Soul Secret Realm.
Here, they looked at each other, and Liu Xuanheng asked with a smile: "What did Fellow Daoist Ye gain?"
"The harvest is not small."
Ye Linyuan answered with a smile, and then said: "It's a pity that I didn't get the chance to form a pill and the real treasure."
"By the way, I think you guys have gained a lot from coming here, right?"
When everyone heard this, they all smiled at each other.
Obviously, each of them gained a lot in this Blood Prison Secret Realm, and almost all of them gained what would take decades to accumulate all at once.
“We also gained a lot.”
Liu Xuanheng spoke calmly, and then smiled and said: "But every time the secret realm is opened, the real opportunity to form a pill is within the core circle of the Blood Prison Secret Realm. Such rare treasures rarely appear in the outer and inner circles."
Taoist Wu Yun also nodded and said solemnly: "If we want to find the opportunity to form a pill, or the real treasure to protect the way, we have to venture deep into the secret realm."
"It seems that we have to go to this core area."
Ye Linyuan spoke calmly, then looked at Ye Xuqiu and Ye Chongyun beside him.
Seeing this, Liu Xuanheng said, "The core area is extremely dangerous. Without the cultivation of the late foundation building stage, you may not be able to protect yourself if you enter it."
"I suggest that all cultivators in the early and middle stages of foundation building should stay and venture into the inner circle."
However, Ye Linyuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Let Ye Xuqiu come with me. He has practiced a scroll of spiritual pupil magic, which can see through the bloody miasma and the danger deep in the blood mist."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but show surprise.
The old ghost Xuehun couldn't help but glance at Liu Xuanheng, and then said thoughtfully: "Spiritual pupil spells are rare at the foundation-building level. It seems that you, a junior, have a high talent."
"It's just that he has some talent in the art of spiritual pupils."
Ye Linyuan spoke calmly without revealing Ye Xuqiu's true nature.
Seeing this, Liu Xuanheng also said: "If the spiritual pupil magic of the Mahayana is really of great use to us, let him go to the core area with us."
Afterwards, everyone had a brief discussion again, and ultimately decided to keep Ye Chongyun, Taoist Zi Yu, Song Qingming, and a dozen of Liu's people in the early and middle stages of foundation building to venture into the inner circle.
The remaining Taoist Wuyun, Liu Xuanheng, the old ghost Xuehun, together with Ye Linyuan, Zhou Yuwan, Chu Lingxi, Shui Hanqing and a total of seven people decided to break into the depths of the Blood Prison secret realm together.
These seven people are all in the late stage of foundation building, and they all have the combat power of the eighth or ninth level of foundation building. They are not considered weak in the late stage of foundation building.
They felt more confident when they joined forces, and had enough protection to protect Ye Xuqiu. They immediately went all the way to the deepest part of the Blood Soul Secret Realm and passed through the most mellow blood-colored miasma.
"What a strong miasma."
After stepping into the core secret realm, Ye Linyuan's brows couldn't help but frown slightly.
He was surprised to find that after stepping into the bloody miasma, the range of his spiritual perception was compressed to three hundred feet.
You should know that Ye Linyuan's spiritual awareness level is slightly better than that of the great perfection of foundation building. In the outside world, he can cover dozens of miles of heaven, earth, mountains and rivers with a single thought, and everything within the coverage of his spiritual awareness will be visible in every detail.
But here, being so compressed, he couldn't help but feel a little insecure.
Because a distance of three hundred feet is too short for a foundation-building cultivator. If he is not sufficiently prepared, he may not even have time to react if suddenly attacked by someone.
Thinking of this, he looked at the people beside him, and saw Liu Xuanheng nodded and said: "The bloody miasma here has a great suppression on our spiritual consciousness. We must be careful to guard against sneak attacks from others."
Everyone nodded when they heard this, and the old ghost said, "This place has less suppression on my spiritual consciousness, so I will lead the way."
Seeing this, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but glance at Ye Xuqiu.
But Ye Xuqiu's eyes glowed with gold, and then he said to everyone: "My spiritual pupil technique can see blurry scenes thirty miles away."
When everyone heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Although thirty miles is still a short distance for foundation-building cultivators, it is already a buffer zone, enough for them to have sufficient reaction time.
Understanding this, Taoist Wu Yun immediately said politely: "In this case, I'll trouble you to show the way in the middle, and we will protect your safety from all sides."
Ye Linyuan nodded slightly upon seeing this. The Golden Eyes of Truth was a mysterious magical power inherited through his bloodline. Even though Ye Xuqiu couldn't unleash its full power now, it could definitely see through more than thirty miles of miasma.
Ye Xuqiu was hiding his incompetence, but his true vision could still help them solve most of their problems.
Thinking of this, Ye Linyuan said: "Which direction should we go next?"
"Let's go inherit the Heavenly Monument first."
Liu Xuanheng opened his mouth, and then said solemnly: "There is an ancient heritage there, which may be of great benefit to you."
After determining the direction, they then followed it towards the Heavenly Monument of Inheritance, and unknowingly traveled thousands of miles.
With Ye Xuqiu guiding the way, they encountered many dangers along the way, including native creatures and vengeful spirits at the false elixir and even golden elixir levels, but fortunately they avoided them all without any danger.
Before they knew it, they arrived in front of a ruined temple.
This is a dilapidated temple, located on top of a dark red mountain. The skeletons of many ancient monks are buried among the ruins.
In the center of the ruins, there is an ancient celestial monument, emitting the aura of Tao that suppresses the heaven and earth.
At this time, more than a dozen figures had gathered in front of the Heavenly Monument, each of them was a well-known late-stage foundation-building cultivator.
But at this time, these foundation-building cultivators were all living in peace with each other. Everyone was quietly comprehending the power of the Heavenly Monument, and did not do anything to exceed the limit.
"Inherit the Heavenly Monument."
Ye Linyuan whispered, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
Seeing this, Liu Xuanheng began to explain: "The inheritance tablet is the inheritance treasure of the ancient Yuanying sect. It is said that it records dozens of Yuanying-level inheritances, as well as various magical methods of alchemy formations, instruments and talismans."
"In ancient times, the chosen ones of the Yuanying sects would come here to comprehend the sect's heritage. Now, foundation-building cultivators like us can also come here to comprehend the heritage."
"As for what kind of inheritance one can feel, it depends on the degree of compatibility between one's own understanding and the inheritance." At this point, Liu Xuanheng paused for a moment before saying, "Back then, Ancestor Blood Soul, Fairy Yue Hua and I all received an extraordinary inheritance here, so we were able to cultivate to our current level."
“But remember not to take action here, otherwise it will alarm the rules of the inheritance monument and you will be forcibly wiped out here.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Linyuan nodded.
The inheritance contained in the Heavenly Stele of Inheritance is extremely precious. Even for the ancient major sects of that time, comprehending the Heavenly Stele of Inheritance was a very important ritual. Only the most core disciples in the sect were qualified to comprehend it.
Therefore, the ancient major sects do not allow others to disturb others' comprehension, so they engrave peerless forbidden methods on the inheritance monument, which are enough to kill foundation-building and even golden elixir cultivators.
It was precisely because of this that all the monks present were meditating quietly, and no one dared to make noise or fight.
"This is our chance, you can each comprehend it."
Ye Linyuan spoke calmly, and then was the first to step in front of the Heavenly Monument of Inheritance. He lowered his eyes and began to comprehend the Tao contained therein.
Seeing this, the other people nearby also began to lower their eyes and comprehend, constantly trying to deduce the Dao essence in the inheritance monument of this place.
Ye Linyuan did not care about others, but devoted himself to meditation.
His spiritual consciousness entered the inheritance monument, and he immediately felt that he was teleported into the endless starry sky. The stars in the sky were emitting mysterious spiritual light, and each one had unspeakable spiritual connotations.
"Ancient inheritance."
Ye Linyuan looked at the sky full of stars and roughly understood the origin of these stars.
It turns out that the stars in the sky are all kinds of ancient heritage, and behind each heritage there is a volume of ancient skills or special heritage.
The inheritances that can be treasured by the top Nascent Soul sects naturally have their own extraordinary features. These inheritances are basically superior techniques at the Golden Core level, and only a few can be cultivated to the Nascent Soul level.
There are even some techniques that can be cultivated to the late Nascent Soul stage or above, and some are even suspected to be the upper half of the Yuanshen Lianxu technique.
"The ancient heritage is truly extraordinary."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart. He found that each of these inheritances emitted a bright light, circling around him like stars surrounding the moon.
He had a kind of enlightenment, and if he wanted to comprehend it, he could easily comprehend any one of them.
However, Ye Linyuan did not make a choice, but instead checked the special features of these techniques one by one.
Ye Linyuan knew very well that the martial arts from the ancient times did not necessarily represent power, and even most of the ancient martial arts were not as good as the martial arts of this era.
As the times develop, the techniques of cultivating immortals are also constantly being improved, especially the techniques of foundation building and golden elixir levels, which have long been perfected by generations of geniuses to the point of surpassing the ancient times.
The reason why the ancient skills that have been passed down to this day are so powerful is that the ordinary and garbage skills from ancient times were not worthy of being kept.
Those that have been passed down to the present day are basically the best of the ancient martial arts such as the Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong, the Peach Blossom Zhu Shui Jing, and the Willow Catkins Sui Feng Juan.
In ancient times, this technique could already be cultivated to the level of Yuanshen or even Lianxu. Even though the part after Yuanying chapter has been lost in this era, it is still a top-level technique that is almost impossible to perfect.
At this time, Ye Linyuan continued to comprehend the martial arts, and soon discovered that most of these ancient martial arts were outdated.
However, the best of the few ancient techniques all have more or less shortcomings, and many of them can no longer be practiced.
Because the environment of heaven and earth in ancient times was different, many rare resources at that time have become completely extinct now. Even if they have not been extinct, ordinary cultivators at the foundation-building and golden elixir levels cannot gather them.
So after checking for a long time, Ye Linyuan found that most of the ancient skills at the Jindan level were useless, and most of them were not as good as the superior skills Ye Linyuan had seen in his previous life.
Ye Linyuan recorded the very few that were useful in his mind, preparing to keep them as a family inheritance in the future.
As for the skills above the Nascent Soul stage, they are basically already very perfect. Even if Ye Linyuan cannot practice them, he has recorded them in his mind.
There are a total of thirty-seven volumes of Nascent Soul techniques, of which only three can be practiced, and one volume is a duplicate of Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong. The others cannot be practiced for various reasons and are only for reference.
After memorizing these skills, Ye Linyuan finally looked at the special magic techniques above and below, and finally found a very special spiritual light among the endless stars.
"Zhetian Yangling Jutsu."
After taking this scroll of spiritual light into his mind, Ye Linyuan's pupils suddenly shrank slightly.
It turns out that this volume of "Zhetian Yanglingshu" is a top-notch spiritual plant inheritance from ancient times, and is also an ancient advanced version of the soul-raising technique.
This method is extremely special. After mastering it, one can use one's own lifespan as a price to force the spiritual plant to break through its own quality limit.
For example, once Ye Linyuan has mastered the Zhetian Yangling Technique, he can consume a certain amount of his lifespan and forcibly upgrade a second-grade top-quality spiritual plant into a second-grade rare spiritual root.
As for the lifespan consumed for promotion, it will be determined according to the type and foundation of the spiritual plant, as well as the cultivation level of the person casting the spell.
If one uses the ordinary foundation-building great perfection cultivation level to perform the technique, it would take ten years of life to upgrade to an ordinary elixir like Xuanyuan Fruit, while Water-based Wood would take about sixty years of life.
Such a huge price is almost unbearable for ordinary people.
But for Ye Linyuan, it was not unacceptable, because his Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong could restore the lost lifespan.
When in the foundation-building stage, the Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong can restore one year of lost lifespan every ten years.
But once he breaks through the Jindan realm, the speed of recovering lifespan will increase several times. At that time, one year of lifespan can be recovered in three years, and Ye Linyuan will have almost one third of extra lifespan to use.
Moreover, Ye Linyuan estimated that with the quality of his magic power and cultivation, he would not need to consume sixty years of his lifespan to be promoted to the water tree in the future.
"The value of this Zhetian Yangling Technique is at least comparable to a top-notch Nascent Soul Technique."
"For me, who can restore my life span, the value of this method is probably more precious than the inheritance of a Yuanshen Daojun."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, and immediately showed a look of satisfaction.
With some joy, he withdrew his spiritual consciousness after confirming that there was nothing missing from the special inheritance.
When he opened his eyes, he found that Zhou Yuwan, Chu Lingxi and others had already opened their eyes, and each of them showed a happy smile.
Ye Linyuan roughly understood that they all gained a lot, and immediately asked with a smile: "It seems that you all gained a lot?"
"Ah."
Liu Xuanheng nodded and said with a smile: "My cultivation method has been completed. I don't need to worry about it before I reach the Nascent Soul stage."
Taoist Wu Yun also smiled, and then said: "I got a method to refine a special formation weapon, which will increase my confidence in resisting that person in the future."
In addition to these people, several members of the Ye family also gained something.
Ye Xuqiu obtained a volume of Nascent Soul-level weapon refining inheritance, and Shui Hanqing obtained a volume of special sword-wielding magical power inheritance, which could greatly enhance her means of killing the enemy.
Zhou Yuwan obtained a quasi-fourth-level inheritance for taming spirit beasts, and Chu Lingxi obtained a volume of fourth-level and quasi-fourth-level spirit insect taming methods.
During the questioning, Ye Linyuan discovered that everyone present was worth a volume of inheritance, and no one was surrounded by thousands of volumes of ancient inheritance like him.
"I can comprehend these ancient techniques at will. Is this because my comprehension is high enough, or is it because I have some other special qualities?"
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart, but couldn't figure out the reason.
At this moment, Ye Linyuan once again felt that he was different from others. His life experience and origins were probably far more complicated than he had imagined.
Since he couldn't figure it out, Ye Linyuan stopped thinking about it.
He stood up, looked at everyone and said, "Now that we have comprehended the Heavenly Stele, where should we go to explore this core area next?"
Everyone nodded when they heard this.
Liu Xuanheng pondered for a moment, then said, "It is said that there is an ancient spiritual medicine garden in the mountains of the core forbidden area. There may be opportunities for forming a pill there. Why don't we go check it out?"
Taoist Wu Yun also nodded and said with a smile: "Even if we can't find the ancient spiritual medicine garden, there should still be a lot of spiritual medicines in those mountains."
