Chapter 244 Black Water Snake [5K Subscription Request]
Upon hearing this, all the Jindan ancestors present showed more or less surprise.
The Seven Domain Alliance is too closed, and the high-level treasures produced make it difficult to obtain an opportunity to break through to the late Jindan stage.
It is also because of this that it is extremely difficult for the Jindan cultivators of the Seven Domain Alliance to break through to the late Jindan stage, so much so that there has not been any new late Jindan cultivator in the past thousand years.
If they could resume trade with the outside world and buy some special treasures, they might get more opportunities in the future.
For example, the Bu Tian Dan can help Jin Dan cultivators to complete their Dan Wen, and can even allow Jin Dan cultivators to make up for their foundation and break through the Jin Dan realm.
An ordinary Jindan master, if he can take Bu Tian Dan continuously, he may even be able to improve his foundation and break through to the late Jindan stage.
Of course, as a treasure for replenishing the foundation, the use of Bu Tian Dan is also subject to great restrictions. As the saying goes, three times is enough, a cultivator can only have three opportunities to take Bu Tian Dan in his lifetime.
But this alone can be considered as going against the will of heaven. Theoretically, if a powerful person with six-patterned golden elixir can take three heaven-buying pills, he may be able to break through to the state of great perfection of golden elixir.
Although there is a certain possibility of failure in using the Bu Tian Dan to make up for the foundation, it can still be regarded as a treasure that defies the heavens.
In the Seven Domain Alliance, if Li Xuangeng, the Green Bull Demon King and others could obtain the third-grade or higher-quality Bu Tian Dan, they would probably have already broken through to the late Jin Dan stage.
Of course, as a top-level treasure that can make up for one's foundation, the price of the Bu Tian Dan is often ridiculously high, and in order to break through the late Jin Dan stage, one needs to take a third-grade, top-quality Bu Tian Dan.
It is difficult to exchange for a Bu Tian Dan of this quality even with three or five high-quality magic weapons, so it is unlikely that they can buy it with their net worth.
But there are many other rare treasures in the outside world, and many of these treasures may be able to increase their hope of achieving enlightenment.
For example, longevity pills of the third-grade or above, or various rare treasures that assist in breaking through the late stage of the golden elixir.
It can be said that if they could leave the Seven Realm Alliance, at least they would have channels to buy these rare treasures, which is better than being trapped in the Seven Realm Alliance and waiting to die.
Thinking of this, everyone present looked at each other, and the old man Qingyan couldn't help but stroke his beard and said: "My life span is not much, even if fellow Taoist doesn't remind me, I am ready to take the risk and go out for a walk."
"But as Daoist Fellow said, when do you plan to start the trade?"
Ye Linyuan hesitated for a moment, then said, "It depends on the progress of building the treasure ship."
Everyone nodded slightly upon hearing this. Relying solely on the power of a Jindan cultivator, it might be enough to cross millions of miles of deep sea, but it would not be possible to conduct large-scale trade across the deep sea.
If there is a giant third-order treasure ship with storage arrays engraved inside, it can store large amounts of supplies for long journeys.
Moreover, if there is a third-order treasure ship, then the super-large composite formation on it can be used to resist the attack of a giant beast in the late Jindan stage.
Knowing this, the Lord of Desolate Sword asked, "My Tianxing Sword Sect is willing to sponsor the construction of the treasure ship."
"We are also willing to sponsor."
Other Jindan forces spoke up one after another, and each of them was very interested in building the treasure ship.
Seeing this, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but nodded slightly.
Constructing a third-order mid-quality treasure ship is extremely difficult, as it requires a huge amount of materials, as well as a large number of equipment refiners and formation masters.
If the Ye family of immortals spent a decade, they could probably build it, but Ye Linyuan couldn't wait a decade.
Moreover, the Ye family's immortal clan has limited resources, which must be used first to cultivate spiritual fields and build the family's spiritual temple. Involving them in building the treasure ship can also reduce a lot of manpower and material resources.
At this time, seeing that everyone wanted to buy shares, Ye Linyuan quickly negotiated the shares in detail with everyone.
In the end, the major forces contributed money and manpower, and each got a share of the treasure ship.
Among them, the Ye family's immortal clan took out the skeleton of a giant whale in the middle stage of the Golden Core, and together with Ye Xuanheng, a quasi-third-level spiritual builder, they finally won 40% of the treasure ship's shares.
The Tianxing Sword Sect was responsible for a large amount of materials and refiners, accounting for 30% of the shares, and the remaining 30% was equally divided among the other major forces.
According to their plan, this treasure ship will be built within fifteen years, and the final treasure ship will be able to have the combat power of the late Jindan period.
After discussing all this, Ye Linyuan glanced at everyone and finally asked, "During the time when we are building the treasure ship, I plan to go to the Renshui Sea to investigate. Do you have a geomancy map of the Five Elements Sea?"
Upon hearing this, everyone present could not help but ponder for a moment.
After a while, Taoist Huang Ji took out an ancient scroll and said, "I do have a geomancy map in my hand, but this map is already a thousand years old."
Elder Qingyan pondered for a moment, then took out a geomancy map and said, "More than three hundred years ago, I went to the Renshui Sea and bought a geomancy map of the Renshui Sea."
"However, the world of immortal cultivation is ever-changing, and a 300-year-old geomancy map may not be accurate."
Ye Linyuan nodded slightly. The world of immortal cultivation was ever-changing. A thousand years was considered quite a long time for a Nascent Soul Sect. Perhaps it was enough to witness the rise and fall of a Nascent Soul Sect.
Three hundred years is not a short time. For a Jindan cultivator, even a newly promoted Jindan cultivator three hundred years ago would have reached half of his lifespan after three hundred years.
For some forces in the late Jindan period, three hundred years are enough for a great Jindan late stage master to pass away, and thus they will completely decline.
After all, those who have cultivated to the late stage of Golden Elixir are often not young anymore. If they live for another three hundred years and still cannot make any further progress, they are most likely already very old.
Of course, for Ye Linyuan, having these two feng shui maps is better than having nothing.
But seeing Ye Linyuan took the two feng shui maps and took a look at them, he roughly checked the terrain and trends in the maps and found that they were both very accurate, so he smiled and asked, "I'm afraid these two feng shui maps are worth a lot, right?"
"You two make an offer."
The Lord of Desolate Sword shook his head and did not take his spirit stone. He said, "The geomancy map is too old. The information may have been distorted. Don't worry about it."
Elder Qingyan also smiled, and then said, "When you return, please bring me a new geomancy map."
Upon seeing this, Ye Linyuan put away the feng shui map and said nothing more.
The barter conference ended here. He said goodbye to everyone and then came to the secret room, examining it with a serious look.
He first looked at the topographic map of the Renshui Sea, and after some inspection he found that the entire Renshui Sea stretched for more than million miles.
Although it appears that the diameter of the Renshui Sea is only half the size of the Seven Domain Alliance, its area is actually at least twice as large.
Then he looked at the Five Elements Sea Geomancy Map, and couldn't help but feel a little curious.
The entire Five Elements Sea is made up of countless archipelagos, stretching for nearly tens of millions of miles.
In this sea area, the Renshui Sea is just the tip of the iceberg, occupying probably only one percent of the territory.
The Five Elements Sea is centered on the Five Elements Continent, and is surrounded by archipelagoes like the Seven Domain Alliance, numbering hundreds in total, large and small.
The largest of them are the five super-large seas of Ren Water, Geng Metal, Li Fire, Wu Earth and Yi Wood, followed by large seas such as the Seven Domain Alliance.
There are about a dozen large seas, and the rest are small and medium-sized seas. The largest ones have a territory of three to five hundred thousand miles, and the smallest ones are only tens of thousands of miles in size, which are smaller than seas like the Tianxing Sea.
In general, the territory of the Seven Domain Alliance is considered to be at the upper reaches of the entire Five Elements Islands, second only to the five super-large seas.
Of course, in terms of strength, the Seven Domain Alliance should be at the bottom among the large sea areas.
According to what Elder Qingyan saw and heard more than 300 years ago, there are at least five people in the late Jindan stage in the Renshui Sea, and there are also suspected to be people in the great perfection of Jindan and even a false infant ancestor.
The other four super-large sea areas should be almost the same as the Renshui Sea Area.
In a large sea area of similar size to the Seven Domain Alliance, there should be at least one or two late Jindan masters, and some powerful ones may even be above the eighth level of Jindan.
"In the Five Elements Sea, apart from the Yuanying Five Elements Dao Sect, there are at least forty or fifty people in the late Jindan stage."
Ye Linyuan roughly calculated the number of late Jindan powerhouses through the late Jindan forces in the feng shui map and came to a rough conclusion.
Of course, this information may not be accurate. After all, it is information from a thousand years ago, and those who were once in the late Jindan stage have probably passed away by now.
But Ye Linyuan thought that this data should also have a certain reference value. Back to the point, after carefully observing the geomancy map, Ye Linyuan put it away, and then took out the precious pill made from the flesh and blood of the giant whale and took it.
After years of practice and refining of the blood and flesh elixirs made from many fake elixir beasts, his body has reached the third level of the golden elixir.
According to Ye Linyuan's estimation, once he completely refines the blood and flesh pill of the giant whale in the middle stage of the Golden Core, he will be able to start breaking through to the minor success combat body.
Time passed as he practiced, and before he knew it, another year had passed.
On this day, Ye Linyuan refined the last blood and flesh treasure pill, and the thirty-six treasure patterns in his body were finally completely formed. These thirty-six treasure patterns intertwined together to form a flawless physical magical power.
"The Black Turtle Indestructible Armor has finally reached its minor perfection."
Ye Linyuan slowly opened his eyes, sensing the black tortoise armor in his body, and couldn't help but exhale slowly.
As the Black Turtle's Indestructible Armor had achieved minor success, he vaguely felt that his physical defense seemed to have been raised to a higher level, reaching the limit of the initial stage of combat body formation.
If he wanted to go one step further and step into the realm of minor success in combat, he would need to break through his own bottleneck and cultivate a second minor magical power.
However, if you want to take this step, it will take a lot of time to rely on hard practice alone. The best way is to refine the body-refining elixir to directly refine new physical treasure patterns, and then condense the physical magical powers to break through the minor combat body.
"The second physical body magical power is already prepared. All that is left is to cultivate a new Dao pattern."
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart, then lowered his eyes and sensed his sea of consciousness.
But within the sea of knowledge, a dragon-shaped rune slowly emerged, seeming to emit some kind of power that was enough to tear the universe apart.
This is the magical power that Ye Linyuan gained by getting close to Han Chi, as well as the power from the remains of the Black Dragon Demon King. It contains the original dragon pattern, and is an extremely powerful dragon-attributed magical power.
Ye Linyuan named this magical power - True Dragon Body.
This kind of magical power contains ultimate power. Once activated, it is like a dragon integrating into the spine, causing the cultivator's basic physical constitution to surge. In theory, it can reach a level comparable to a 'real dragon'.
You know, as one of the most perfect ancient true spirits in the world, the dragon clan is almost flawless in terms of strength, defense, and speed.
"True dragons" such as the Cold Chi and the Black Dragon Demon King, as the descendants of the dragon's true spirits, have inherited some of the power of the true dragons, and naturally also inherited the true dragon clan's nearly perfect physique.
When Ye Linyuan breaks through the minor combat stage, if he uses this 'real dragon body' to cultivate a second physical magical power, he will be able to improve his physical fitness in all aspects and make up for the great deficiency of physical strength.
In addition, the body of the real dragon can also cooperate with the indestructible armor of the black tortoise to further enhance Ye Linyuan's physical defense.
"My magical powers are ready. Next, I will go to the Renshui Sea to see if I can find suitable resources for physical cultivation."
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart, then withdrew his thoughts and walked out of the retreat room.
Seeing him coming out of seclusion, Shui Hanqing understood that he was leaving, so he asked with some concern: "Do you want me to go with you?"
"No need." Ye Linyuan shook his head and said calmly: "I am mainly here to explore the way. It is much safer to go alone. You can stay in the family and wait for my good news."
At this point, Ye Linyuan pondered and said, "During the time I'm away, if you encounter an enemy that you can't defeat, you must guard the mountain gate tightly. Everything will be settled after I return."
Ye Linyuan spoke slowly and explained a lot to Shui Hanqing and others, and finally left the Seven Domain Alliance.
Following the path on the geomancy map, Ye Linyuan flew all the way to the Renshui Sea. However, he was very careful wherever he passed along the way and did not fly in a high-profile manner.
Because around the Seven Domain Alliance, there are more than one powerful late Jindan master.
According to the records of those great Jindan masters in the Seven Domain Alliance over the past thousand years, there is no shortage of powerful deep-sea beasts in the deep sea outside the Seven Domain Alliance.
Some people have seen a powerful group of sky whales roaming around, a turtle with the blood of Ba Xia carrying an island, and even a complete black water snake.
These are all powerful true spirit relics at the peak level, at least the top true spirit relics above the late Jindan stage.
And these are only what everyone has seen. There may be more deep-sea monsters that those Jindan masters have never seen.
It can be said that if one does not have the cultivation base of the late Jindan period, and dares to fly recklessly in the deep sea, if one encounters some terrifying deep-sea beast, one may not even know how he died.
Ye Linyuan used the Black Turtle Breath-concealing Technique to conceal his breath, and flew across the ocean in a very low-key and slow manner. Before he knew it, he had flown across millions of miles of sea.
Although he encountered some Jindan-level sea beasts along the way, he never encountered too much trouble.
"Five hundred thousand miles further, we will reach the outskirts of the Renshui Sea."
Above the vast ocean, Ye Linyuan was flying while looking at the information in his hand, and a smile appeared on his face.
He looked at the map for a moment, and his eyes lit up slightly.
But on the map in front of him, there was a small sea archipelago stretching for 30,000 miles between the Seven Domain Alliance and the Renshui Sea.
This sea area is made up of thousands of islands of various sizes. According to the records on the geomancy map, this place seemed to have been occupied by a Jindan-level force from the Qingyu Sect a thousand years ago.
The Qingyu Islands are more than 200,000 miles away from the Renshui Sea. When the Tianxing Sword Sect traded with the Renshui Sea, the Qingyu Islands were the transit point for replenishing spiritual energy and supplies.
"I wonder if the Qingyu Gate is still there after a thousand years."
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart, and then headed towards the Qingyu Islands.
After flying for more than 200,000 miles, Ye Linyuan finally saw the outline of an archipelago, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.
He did not enter with a big fanfare, but completely suppressed his own cultivation, and then sneaked into the Qingyu Islands quietly.
As soon as he arrived at the Qingyu Islands, Ye Linyuan felt something was wrong, because the entire Qingyu Islands seemed to be in a state of panic, and the number of high-level cultivators here seemed to be particularly small.
So he came to the Qingyu Islands quietly, disguised as a young man in the early stage of Qi Refining, and came to the market to gather information about the place.
Not long after, Ye Linyuan left the market town with a slightly frown on his brow, having received some unsettling news.
It turned out that over the years, a black water snake had begun to stir up trouble in this sea area.
It drove a large number of sea beasts to attack many small sea areas nearby, and even the Renshui Sea was attacked several times.
It is said that there was a late Jindan cultivator in the Renshui Sea who tried to fight against it, but ended up suffering a great loss and returning seriously injured.
According to the speculation of high-level cultivators in the Renshui Sea, the Black Water Mystical Snake may have broken through the eighth level of the Golden Core, and attacked the surrounding seas in preparation for breaking through to a higher level.
"Golden Core Eighth Level, I'm afraid there will be some trouble."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, and couldn't help but reveal a solemn expression.
Whether for the human race or the demon race, the eighth level of the golden elixir is an uneasy realm.
When one reaches this realm, one must either go one step further and break through to the ninth level of the Golden Core, or use a trick to break through to the False Infant realm.
No matter which one it is, it cannot be achieved simply by hard practice, so cultivators at the eighth level of the Golden Core often need to seek opportunities for breakthroughs at all costs through war, plunder, or various other means.
If the Black Water Mystic Snake wants to go a step further, it must either completely transform into royal blood and become the Black Water Mystic Snake King who has reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Elixir.
Or he could use the blood of the Black Water Serpent to break through the false infant state and become a false demon king.
If all you want is to reach the false infant state, then it would be fine. Perhaps you can still break through with the help of some spiritual objects.
However, it would be extremely difficult for the descendants of the True Spirit to become a king. Among the ways for the descendants of the True Spirit to become a king, the most common way is to be crowned king through battle.
This path does not require rare third-level bloodline medicine, nor does it require various spiritual treasures and rare objects. What is needed is to constantly wage wars.
As long as there are enough kills, and as long as the enemies killed are strong enough, one can condense the belief of a king in one's heart, and then the bloodline will most likely undergo an extreme transformation, and eventually transform into one's own royal blood.
The Black Water Serpent has already started a war, which shows that it is extremely ambitious and wants to take the path of becoming king through war.
