Chapter 188 Black Tide [4K]
"Whether it's a coincidence or not, if I don't take this great opportunity, I'll regret it for the rest of my life."
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart and quickly made up his mind.
But he stood up and looked at everyone, then said with a serious face: "While they are fighting, it's still not too late for me to sneak in now."
"You guys retreat a thousand miles away first, and we'll talk about everything after I come out."
Everyone understood that they should not disturb Ye Linyuan, and they all nodded cautiously.
Seeing this, Ye Linyuan looked at Ye Xuqiu and said, "Xuqiu, tell me the location of that rhizome."
"..."
After learning the approximate location from Ye Xuqiu, Ye Linyuan did not delay at all. He immediately pushed the power of the Black Turtle Breathing Technique to the extreme, and then sneaked into the volcano silently.
As soon as he entered the crater, Ye Linyuan immediately felt an extremely strong evil spirit of fire.
Li Fire Evil Qi is one of the 72 evil energies in the world, and is also the most common fire-attributed evil energy. Generally, it can only be produced by the third-level fire-attributed earth veins, and is also the key cultivation resource for the Fire Method Golden Elixir.
The Lihuo Golden Lotus Pond, the Taoist temple of Ye Linyuan in his previous life, was built on top of a third-order underground fire vein. The abundant Lihuo evil spirit was also one of the main sources of cultivation for Ye Linyuan in his previous life.
This Lihuo evil spirit is a top-quality treasure for Jindan cultivators, but it is a deadly danger to foundation-building cultivators.
This kind of evil energy has the power to burn everything. Even a cultivator who has built his foundation would be in danger of being burned by fire if he inhaled it.
At this time, Ye Linyuan could only carefully avoid these evil spirits of Lihuo and slowly dive into the veins inside the volcano.
He didn't know how long he had been flying, but he finally escaped into the depths of a cave filled with the power of fire.
After stepping into this place, Ye Linyuan looked around and his brows slightly frowned.
Because he discovered that in the huge earth veins, there were actually thousands of firebirds living in it.
This flamingo is a demon race with extremely powerful bloodline. It is said that this lineage is born as a first-class, top-grade alien demon race, and its qualifications are almost the same as those of the golden-backed giant ape clan.
The source of the bloodline of the golden-backed giant ape clan is the immortal golden ape, one of the true spirits of heaven and earth.
The source of the firebird's bloodline is the ancient red phoenix, one of the true spirits of the ancient world. The red phoenix is the best among the phoenix clan, and its combat power is enough to rank among the top three in the ancient fairy phoenix clan.
Since Moltres has this kind of bloodline hidden in its body, it naturally has extremely strong aptitude.
It is said that the Red Flame Demon King of the Black Dragon Demon Realm is the Red Flame Bird, a true spirit species that evolved from the bloodline of the Fire Bird.
"So many flamingos."
Of course, the Red Flame Bird alone was not enough to shock Ye Linyuan. What really made him feel a little troubled was that the population of Red Flame Birds living here was too large.
He found thousands of Moltres at just one glance. The number of Moltres living in the entire volcano might be at least ten times as many.
Ye Linyuan concealed his aura and investigated, and found that the cultivation base of these red flame birds was at least in the late stage of Qi training, and there were probably no less than a hundred of them in the foundation building stage.
There are even quite a few red flame birds whose cultivation has undergone another transformation, and they have been promoted to the late stage of foundation building, which is a species of fire-feathered birds.
"These flamingos have been living here for more than ten thousand years."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, and then moved forward very carefully while concealing his breath.
Sneaking all the way into the underground fire veins, Ye Linyuan discovered that Moltres had planted a large amount of Blood Flame Grass here.
These blood flame grasses are all mutated blood spirit grasses. They have integrated the power of the underground fire veins in this area and seem to have a great effect on fire-attributed monsters.
"These blood flame herbs have unique powers. They have little effect on ordinary monsters, but they are very effective in promoting the bloodline of monsters with fire attributes."
“If it can be cultivated to the third-order rare realm, perhaps the Red Fire Dragon will have the possibility of being promoted to the Fire Dragon.”
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart and couldn't help but think of the spiritual beast Red Li Fire Dragon from his previous life.
The bloodline of the Red Li Fire Dragon is extraordinary, and it is one of the powerful true spirit descendants. However, it is only the bloodline of an ordinary fire dragon after all, and it still has that last step before it can completely transform into a dragon.
However, if it cannot transform into a dragon, it would be difficult for the Chili Fire Dragon to break through to the Nascent Soul Demon King realm with its natural talent.
Unfortunately, in his previous life, Ye Linyuan himself had no hope of reaching the Nascent Soul stage, and was not very good at planting spiritual plants and refining pills, so naturally he had no way of storing such rare treasures for the Chili Fire Dragon.
Otherwise, if the Red Li Fire Dragon broke through to the Nascent Soul stage ahead of time to protect him, Ye Linyuan might be able to take a chance on that Nascent Soul stage.
Thinking of this, Ye Linyuan secretly picked a few blood flame grass seeds.
As a descendant of a powerful true spirit, the Red Li Fire Dragon can live for about 1,600 years in the Golden Core Realm. With the help of treasures such as the Longevity Pill, it is possible for it to live for more than 2,000 years.
If Ye Linyuan could have broken through to the Nascent Soul stage before this, he might have had the chance to meet the Chili Fire Dragon again.
After picking a few blood flame grass seeds, Ye Linyuan continued to move forward silently.
The deeper you go into the cave, the more abundant the power of fire between heaven and earth becomes, and the more powerful the fire birds you encounter become.
Here, Ye Linyuan discovered flocks of firebirds, including some powerful alien species in the late foundation building stage.
Fortunately, the Black Turtle's Breath-Concealing Technique, which was at the pseudo-supernatural power level, was indeed powerful, and these firebirds had never discovered Ye Linyuan from beginning to end.
After arriving at the core area of the secret realm, Ye Linyuan finally sensed a hint of danger. There lived five foundation-building level firebirds and even a quasi-demon king at the false elixir level.
This quasi-demon king had a powerful aura, his entire body was a fiery green, and his wings were covered in blazing green flames, which seemed able to easily burn a great foundation-building cultivator to ashes.
"A Firebird that failed to mutate, not a True Spirit Red Flamebird."
Looking at the fake quasi-demon king, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It's not a Crimson Flamebird, but a Blue Incandescent Bird that failed to mutate. This type of Flamebird belongs to a mutated species among the Flamebirds.
However, the Blue Blazing Bird's potential is not high. In this era, it can only cultivate to the level of False Pill, and there is no possibility for it to revive and become a Red Phoenix.
In fact, this is the case with the blood mutation of demons and spirit beasts. Some demons obviously have great potential, but once their blood revives and mutates in the wrong direction, their future potential will be greatly reduced.
For example, the golden-backed giant ape. If his next bloodline advancement does not lead to the fighting golden ape, but instead to other mutated apes, then even if he awakens the extremely powerful King Kong Fire Ape bloodline, its potential will become limited in the future.
Only by awakening the bloodline of the Fighting Golden Ape can one continue to mutate into the ancient and powerful Immortal Golden Ape.
For example, the Blue Blazing Bird in front of us, its combat power might be considered top-notch among fake pills, but it is impossible for it to go any further.
“If it has awakened the bloodline of the Red Flame Bird, it may have already been promoted to the Golden Core stage.”
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart, then looked in front of the blue bird.
But what I saw was a vast underground fire spring, and in the fire spring there were three rare treasures.
They were a ball of flame, an egg covered with phoenix patterns, and a fire jade emitting red flames.
"Qianyuan Lihuo, Lihuo Jade Marrow, Phoenix Feather Egg?"
Looking at these three treasures, Ye Linyuan's brows couldn't help but frown slightly.
Among these three treasures, there is no need to say much about the Qianyuan Lihuo. The Lihuo Jadeite is indeed a third-tier rare treasure and also a key material for refining fire-attributed magic weapons.
The last phoenix feather egg is very unusual. The vitality of this egg is very dim, and it seems that it has been in deep sleep.
But it was filled with an extremely astonishing blood aura. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be an extremely powerful true spirit descendant, and it might even be a powerful true spirit descendant that had awakened the phoenix blood. "Look at that aura, it looks like the egg of a red phoenix bird."
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart, but was still a little uncertain.
The Red Phoenix Bird is a top-notch true spirit relic. The power of its bloodline is almost the same as that of the Red Fire Dragon. It is considered a powerful true spirit relic.
As true spirit descendants, those that have awakened dragon blood or phoenix blood often have stronger potential. If they are given enough resources, the possibility of cultivating to the late golden elixir stage in the future is probably not low.
"If it really is a Fire Phoenix egg, it might be worth taking a risk."
Ye Linyuan pondered, but shook his head after a moment.
Although this red phoenix is precious, the bloodline of the North Sea Cold Chi may not be weaker than the other. Moreover, the red phoenix egg in front of him is lifeless, and I am afraid that it may not be able to hatch successfully if I take it back.
The most important thing is that Ye Linyuan came here only for that small piece of rhizome, so it is better not to make trouble if it is not necessary.
"This opportunity is predestined for Xu Qiu. He should come here to take it himself a hundred years later."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, then stepped out.
According to his own estimation, when the Blood Prison Secret Realm is opened next time, Ye Xuqiu’s cultivation should have reached the great perfection of foundation building.
With Ye Xuqiu's talent and potential, his strength in a hundred years will not be weaker than Chu Dongyu, and he may even be stronger than this person.
If Ye Xuqiu has the ability at that time, he can come here to take the treasure himself. If he cannot take the treasure away, he can only blame himself for his incompetence.
Back to the topic, after leaving the fire spring, Ye Linyuan followed the direction to go deep underground. After an unknown amount of time, he found the small piece of rhizome in a piece of lava.
It was a small rhizome about an inch long, filled with extremely rich Xuanhuang mother energy, and on the rhizome there was a trace of dark red blood.
Ye Linyuan took the small piece of rhizome into his hand, and suddenly his soul sank slightly, and he fell into a hazy illusion of the past.
It was a peaceful world, with the spiritual energy of immortals filling the entire area.
Above the sky, continuous fairy palaces and Taoist palaces rise and fall. A vigorous ancient tree takes root in the floating fairy island, spreading its infinite Taoist aura and illuminating the heaven and earth.
The scene suddenly changed again, and the energy of heaven and earth was tainted with a hint of black air at some point.
The immortal palaces and Taoist palaces above the sky fell like rain, the floating immortal islands fell on the earth, and even the origin of heaven and earth was filled with a foul smell.
The ancient tree is still rooted between heaven and earth, but the branches and leaves that exude infinite Taoism have all withered, and the trunk has been eroded by indescribable filthy power. Only the roots entangled with the Xuanhuang mother energy are still struggling.
Above the sky, there was a bloody battle between powerful men, black blood filled the sky, and infinite darkness enveloped everything, bringing the entire world almost to the brink of destruction.
Only the powerful can transform into an ever-burning lamp and struggle to support the sky, becoming the only light in this world.
"The origin of heaven and earth is being eroded."
"Nine of the twenty-four Xuantian artifacts have been corrupted, and the rest have been destroyed. The nine innate spiritual roots have also been polluted and died. We are powerless to save the situation."
In the endless void, an unimaginable existence spoke, and its voice revealed a hint of despair and powerlessness.
There was also a strong will, saying without question: "Since there is no way to save the situation, then we should destroy it and then rebuild it, and create a new world."
Ye Linyuan only saw a man in white clothes appearing across the sky, swinging a sword and slashing with it. The sword split the nine realms with the power to destroy everything, causing the dark shadows outside the heaven and earth to roar in pain.
Then the figure slowly faded away, and bit by bit turned into the most original Tao essence and dissipated between heaven and earth.
At the moment of disappearing, his gaze seemed to see Ye Linyuan through the void of time and space, and he immediately smiled.
“The people who come after us, perhaps every generation, has its own mission.”
"I have tried my best, but the black tide will come again. It is up to you whether I can restore the world."
"..."
Ye Linyuan did not answer until the white-clothed figure gradually disappeared and turned into the brilliant and faint Tao aura between heaven and earth. Then he slowly opened his eyes.
He looked at the small piece of rhizome in his hand again, only to see that the stained blood on it had been completely wiped out by the mysterious Dao essence.
The Eternal Lamp, the ancient war against the sky, the origin of heaven and earth was eroded, the twenty-four sacred artifacts of Xuantian were corrupted or destroyed, and the spiritual roots of Xuantian were also polluted and died.
What exactly happened in ancient times?
Ye Linyuan couldn't see the answer, but he got two key pieces of information from the old illusion.
"Kuroshio!"
Ye Linyuan whispered slowly, feeling a creepy feeling for the first time.
The ancient powers were so powerful that in that era, there were countless Yuanying True Lords, tens of thousands of Yuanshen Dao Lords, and even more than one or two Lords of the Lianxu Realm.
The figure in white is most likely a person above the Void Refinement Realm.
But such a powerful ancient era, such a glorious Nine Heavens Ancient Realm, was buried abruptly. The ancient powerful ones even split the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm, just for a glimmer of hope for all the creatures in the world.
Kuroshio Current.
Although they were just two simple words, the great terror hidden behind them made Ye Linyuan feel an untouchable suffocating feeling.
"The world is corrupted, the nine heavens are shattered, and the Devouring Dao is rampant."
"Is all this because of the black tide?"
Ye Linyuan pondered in his mind, constantly trying to analyze everything he had experienced in ancient times, but in the end he could only get a glimpse of a corner and had to suppress it all in his heart.
"boom--"
Just as Ye Linyuan was deep in thought, he suddenly sensed a terrifying murderous intent coming towards him.
He looked around and found that a group of firebirds were coming towards him. It was obvious that their aura was leaked when he took away the rhizome of the Xuantian Spiritual Root.
"trouble."
Seeing the monsters coming to kill him, Ye Linyuan decisively activated the Wanhua Sword Technique to sweep in all directions, and finally escaped from the volcano before the monsters surrounded him.
As soon as he came out of the volcano, everyone involved in the battle was alarmed.
In an instant, the three major Jindan forces, including the Tianxing Sword Sect and the Chixia Sect, all looked over, with a hint of murderous intent in their eyes.
Seeing this scene, Ye Linyuan's heart sank.
At this time, there were wolves in front and tigers behind, and they were about to fall into the pincer attack of the Fire Bird and the three major Jindan forces. Ye Linyuan suddenly had an idea and said decisively: "Brother Chu, I have got the treasure."
"Hurry up and protect me and kill me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Linyuan immediately flew towards the Tianxing Sword Sect.
Chu Dongyu was slightly stunned, but after seeing Ye Linyuan display the pseudo-magical power of Wanhua Sword Art, he hesitated for a moment and did not take action. Instead, he decisively stopped the Red Flame Bird and the two Jindan forces for him.
Fortunately, he changed his appearance and put on a black robe, so the people from the Tianxing Sword Sect did not recognize him.
In just a moment of encounter, Ye Linyuan broke out from the encirclement.
