Once Ye Linyuan has cultivated all kinds of sword techniques to the Mahayana stage, and even developed several quasi-great magical powers, Ye Linyuan's Wanhua Sword Technique in this life will surely far surpass that of his previous life.
At that time, even without the explosive top-level golden elixir like the Fire Sea Golden Lotus, Ye Linyuan's attack power would surpass that of his previous life.
After all, Ye Linyuan in this life is able to refine a third-order rare sword embryo, which is enough to make up for the huge shortcoming of insufficient mana quality.
"It's time to leave."
After cultivating the ten great magical powers and sixty-two sword techniques, Ye Linyuan slowly withdrew his mind and walked out of the sword tomb.
At this time, several sword masters of the Tianxing Sword Sect had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing Ye Linyuan coming out of the retreat room, Minghuang Sword Master couldn't help but ask, "Just now I saw the sword spirit soaring into the sky in the sword tomb. Did it hurt you, fellow Taoist?"
Ye Linyuan calmly shook his head, and then replied: "With my cultivation level, these sword intentions cannot hurt me."
"That's good."
Upon seeing this, Master Minghuang Sword breathed a sigh of relief.
As the sword master of the Tianxing Sword Sect, he knew the difficulty of comprehending these ancient sword steles. Without the blessing of the Nameless Sword, it would be extremely difficult to comprehend any ancient sword technique.
So even if Ye Linyuan entered the forbidden area of the Sword Tomb to comprehend the supreme inheritance of the Tianxing Sword Sect, Master Minghuang Sword still felt that he had taken great advantage of Ye Linyuan.
"Everyone, I have gained a little from this meditation. It is time for me to go back and digest what I have gained. I will not stay in your sect any longer."
After greeting everyone, Ye Linyuan bowed and said goodbye to everyone.
Upon hearing this, the Lord of Desolate Sword smiled and said, "If that's the case, then we won't send any more."
"..."
After leaving the Tianxing Sword Sect, Ye Linyuan went to take care of the bloodline elixirs of the Xuanyuan Islands.
During the flying process, Ye Linyuan discovered that his Wanhua Xiaoyaoyou speed increased again, reaching the world's fastest speed of four hundred thousand miles a day.
Such an astonishing speed is comparable to the speed of escape at the Great Perfection of the Golden Elixir. It can be seen that these various sword techniques also have a significant effect on Wanhua Xiaoyaoyou.
He arrived at the Xuanyuan Islands, took care of various bloodline elixirs, left a batch of cultivation resources for Han Chi and the others, and then returned to the Yueyuan Sea.
After returning to the Yueyuan Sea, Ye Linyuan resumed his peaceful practice.
While he was practicing in seclusion, the Ye family's strength was constantly improving, and new middle-stage Jindans were born one after another.
Among the Ye family's superior golden elixirs, the first to break through to the middle stage was Ye Xuqiu. He was originally only one step away from the middle stage of the golden elixir.
After taking the middle-grade Creation Pill, he accumulated enough energy for a breakthrough in just one month, and finally broke through to the middle stage of the Golden Elixir.
In this year, Ye Xuqiu was less than 230 years old, and it had been less than 50 years since he formed the Dan, which was about 10 years less than Ye Linyuan's time.
Such a young person in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm is qualified to become a true disciple in a Yuanying sect.
Moreover, Ye Xuqiu has a nine-patterned golden elixir, and there is no bottleneck before he breaks through to the great perfection of the golden elixir.
According to his current cultivation speed, as long as there are sufficient cultivation resources, he should be able to break through to the Great Perfection of Golden Core in about two hundred years.
It can be foreseen that in the near future, Ye Xuqiu will become a great help to Ye Linyuan.
In other words, Ye Xuqiu has now become a great helper to Ye Linyuan. Having reached the middle stage of the Golden Core with the Fire Sea Golden Lotus Technique, he already has the combat power of half of the late stage of the Golden Core.
Not long after Ye Xuqiu's breakthrough, less than a year later, the bloodlines of the Fighting Golden Ape and the Water Silkworm finally revived and broke through to the middle stage of the Golden Core.
The former has extraordinary combat power. Once the Holy Blood of Fighting is stimulated, his combat power will be at the top level among the middle-stage Golden Core.
The latter's combat power is weak, and it may not be able to defeat an ordinary early-stage Jindan, but it can already produce third-order medium-grade spiritual silkworms, which will be useful for Ye Linyuan to refine a third-order medium-grade formation and to upgrade to the Xuanyuan Zhenhai Flag.
Three years later, after the two demon kings broke through, Chu Lingxi and Zhou Yuwan also broke through to the middle stage of the Golden Core. After all, they were superior Golden Cores, and their strength was probably at the upper level of the middle stage of the Golden Core.
The key point is that once they join forces, they can barely be considered half the combat power of a late Jindan realm.
The last one to break through was Shui Hanqing. The year she broke through was exactly when Ye Linyuan was 300 years old, and it was also the twentieth year since Ye Linyuan planted the ancient tree of immortality.
On this day, Ye Linyuan quietly stood in front of Shui Hanqing's retreat room, watching her slowly walk out of the retreat room, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Congratulations, Madam, you have finally broken through to the middle stage of the Golden Core."
Shui Hanqing also smiled and was about to say something, but he saw a stream of light flying from the sky, which turned into a letter and fell into Ye Linyuan's hands.
Ye Linyuan opened the letter and took a look at it, his brows slightly frowned.
Seeing this, Shui Hanqing couldn't help but ask, "Did he write to me again?"
"Yeah." Ye Linyuan smiled, and then said, "He can't wait any longer."
Shui Hanqing nodded slightly when he heard this.
In the past twenty years, Li Xuangeng has sent Ye Linyuan several letters, and initially they wanted to work together to open the treasure house.
But in recent years, as he grew older, Li Xuangeng gradually became impatient.
Li Xuangeng is already over 600 years old. If he cannot obtain the longevity pills and treasures in the treasury as soon as possible, his hope of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage will become increasingly slim.
Twenty years of waiting may not seem like much, but it is already one-tenth of his remaining life span. How many more twenty years does he have left to waste?
Moreover, Ye Linyuan is also a spiritual plant husband who can produce various cultivation resources. As time goes by, the strength of the Ye family will definitely become stronger and stronger.
If we wait another decade or two, can Li Xuangeng really defeat Ye Linyuan?
Therefore, for Li Xuangeng, the longer this battle drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for him. The best way is to take action early while his strength increases rapidly after breaking through the Jindan stage and he can completely suppress Ye Linyuan.
In recent years, the wording of Li Xuangeng's letters has become increasingly harsh.
Especially today's letter, the wording in the letter is both soft and hard, and it seems that the author is unwilling to wait any longer.
But the letter begins:
Junior Brother Ye, I know time is on your side, so it is understandable that you are unwilling to take risks.
But you should know that my life span is getting shorter and shorter, and I don’t have the time or patience to waste it any longer.
Today, I will give you one last chance. If you are willing to cooperate with me, we will meet secretly in a sea area in three years.
If my junior brother is still unwilling to join forces with me, I will completely lose hope of achieving enlightenment, and I will not complain to him anymore.
At that time, I will present the treasure order to the Five Elements Taoist Sect and let Yuanying Zhenjun open the sect's treasure house in exchange for a chance to break through the false infant.
And then, how will Junior Brother protect himself when facing the Five Elements Taoist Sect?
I hope you will consider carefully how to choose.
……
After finishing reading the letter, Ye Linyuan calmly watched the letter burn, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Shui Hanqing, who was standing by, saw this and said solemnly, "It seems that Li Xuangeng really can't wait any longer. What should we do?"
"This war is ultimately unavoidable."
Ye Linyuan spoke calmly, then smiled and said, "But there's no rush. I'll write him a letter first and discuss the terms with him."
Having said this, Ye Linyuan took out a piece of letter paper and wrote a reply to Li Xuangeng.
He put forward several conditions in the letter. First of all, there was no trust between the two parties. In order to avoid being killed, Ye Linyuan would not enter the treasure house with Li Xuangeng, so the two sides must determine the winner and the loser, and life or death.
Secondly, the final meeting place between the two parties needs to be selected personally by Ye Linyuan.
Finally, both parties must keep the secret of the treasure house absolutely confidential. Even if they invite friends to help, they must not tell them the true secret of the treasure house.
Furthermore, in order to prevent the secret of the treasure house from being leaked, one must seal the soul with forbidden techniques in advance to prevent the secret of the treasure house from being revealed when one is defeated.
After writing the letter, Ye Linyuan calmly sent it back.
Seeing this, Shui Hanqing couldn't help but ask curiously: "Will he agree to such harsh conditions?"
She is definitely not a flower in a greenhouse and she knows what Ye Linyuan represents.
First of all, by not entering the treasury with Li Xuangeng, one can avoid the danger of being killed by Li Xuangeng's sect formation.
Secondly, Ye Linyuan personally selected the location, which meant that he could set up an ambush in advance, or even set up a killing array to kill Li Xuangeng. Finally, to avoid leaking the secrets of the treasure house and seal the soul with forbidden techniques in advance, this was very beneficial to both parties.
Because in this way, no matter who wins in the end, the final secret of the treasure house will not be leaked.
"He will agree."
Ye Linyuan spoke calmly, and then said calmly: "As long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will not give up."
He knew very well that as long as there was a slight possibility, Li Xuangeng would not give the secret of the treasure house to the Five Elements Taoist Sect.
After all, the opportunity to form a Nascent Soul is too precious. Even if the Haohai Sect's treasure house really has the opportunity to form a Nascent Soul, the number is probably extremely limited.
If he could keep it for himself, he might still have hope of achieving enlightenment. But if he gave it to the Five Elements Taoist Sect, whether he could get a second-grade Infant-Forming Pill would depend on other people's mood.
If you want to break through the False Infant Ancestor, the probability of success is probably extremely low.
Thinking of this, Ye Linyuan thought for a moment, then called Ye Xuqiu and said, "Go to Tianxing Sword Sect and tell them about the agreement you made that year. It's time to fulfill your promise."
After explaining all this, Ye Linyuan did not waste any more time, but calmly came to the spiritual medicine garden.
But inside the huge medicine garden, an ancient spiritual tree was seen slowly rising and falling, emitting ancient auras of longevity.
"Ancient tree of immortality."
Ye Linyuan whispered slowly. After twenty years of cultivation and the consumption of a large amount of materials and resources, this ancient immortal tree was finally promoted to the third-order rare level.
At this moment, the ancient tree of immortality was filled with a faint aura of immortality, and the aura it exuded was truly extraordinary.
According to Ye Linyuan's estimation, if such an ancient tree of immortality was divided into pieces, it would be enough to obtain dozens of third-tier rare spiritual woods, and after each piece of rare spiritual wood was refined, it was no less than a longevity pill.
"The third spiritual refining item is finally ready."
Ye Linyuan showed some joy, and then carefully took out a wood heart from the ancient tree of immortality.
The heartwood of a spiritual tree is where its core essence is. If the heartwood of an ordinary first-level spiritual tree is taken away, it will be in danger of withering and dying.
However, high-level spiritual wood has strong vitality. Even if the heart of the wood is taken away, it will still retain its vitality, but its vitality will be seriously damaged and its potential may even be greatly reduced.
However, Ye Linyuan is a high-level spiritual plant husband. He can use the prepared high-quality spiritual liquid and his various spiritual plant spells to nourish the spiritual wood so that its potential will not be greatly reduced.
But it will take a long time to recover.
According to Ye Linyuan's estimation, it would take at least sixty years for this ancient immortal tree to recover after its heartwood was taken away.
This still requires him to constantly nourish it with spiritual plant spells, otherwise it would be extremely difficult to recover his vitality, and there is a high probability that he will not be able to make any further progress.
Of course, these are all later stories. At this time, Ye Linyuan took Mu Xin away and brought him to the retreat room with an extremely solemn look.
In order to prevent the Taoist essence of the wooden heart from dissipating, he directly closed the retreat room, and then immediately activated the soul refining technique to refine the wooden heart.
This was the third time he had performed the magic of soul refining, and now he was already very familiar with it.
As the incomparably profound spiritual refining technique refined the heart of the Immortality Wood, Ye Linyuan suddenly felt a surge of vitality filling his body, and his entire aura underwent a dramatic change.
"Such a strong vitality, is this the mystery of the soul-refining wood heart of longevity?"
It was unknown how long it had been before Ye Linyuan slowly woke up from his retreat. Sensing the changes in his body, he couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
Compared with the previous two times of refining spirits, the changes brought about by this time of refining the heart of the immortal wood were extremely astonishing.
After refining the heart of the Immortality Wood, he obtained the characteristics of the Immortality Wood Heart - immortality.
The improvement brought about by this longevity characteristic is extremely amazing, and it has three effects in total.
The first effect is that he has transformed into an immortal species, and his basic lifespan has been increased three times to about two thousand four hundred years.
You know, even if it is the descendant of a true spirit, its lifespan is only 1,600 years when it reaches the golden elixir stage.
The only ones who can reach the Golden Elixir Realm and have a lifespan of 2,400 years are the true spirits of heaven and earth such as the Teng Snake, the True Dragon, and the Ba Xia.
Ye Linyuan can live for 2,400 years when he is in the Jindan realm. It is no exaggeration to say that he is an immortal.
Secondly, it is the blessing of spiritual plant spells. After refining the immortal wood, the effects of Ye Linyuan's spiritual rain spell, soul nourishing spell and ripening spell were increased by about twice.
With this blessing, although Ye Linyuan is still a third-level super-grade spiritual plant husband, his ability to cultivate spiritual plants is already comparable to that of a fourth-level mid-grade spiritual plant husband.
In addition, the lifespan-restoring effect of the Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong has also been greatly enhanced under the nourishment of the Five Elements of Wood.
Originally, Ye Linyuan could recover about one year of lost lifespan every three years, but now he can recover one year of lifespan every year.
Of course, the lifespan restored here can only be used to restore the lifespan lost unnaturally, and has no effect on the lifespan lost naturally due to aging.
But even so, the ability to restore one year of life every year is already very amazing.
Ye Linyuan's life span is now as long as 2,400 years, and he has 2,100 years left to use. After deducting the 200 years that have been consumed, he now has an extra 1,900 years to use.
With so much life span, if Ye Linyuan was willing to consume it all at once, and combined it with a spell at the quasi-great supernatural power level, he might be able to successfully curse and kill Yuanying Zhenjun.
And if it is used to perform the Zhetian Yangling Technique, it is more than enough to cultivate more than a dozen third-level rare spiritual plants.
"With a lifespan of 1,900 years, combined with the Zhetian Nurturing Spirit Technique, Zhou Yuwan and the others may all have hope of achieving enlightenment in the future."
Ye Linyuan pondered, came to the spiritual medicine garden, and carefully looked after a group of spiritual fields.
These included a batch of key auxiliary medicines for the Infant-forming Pill, ten strains of Ganoderma lucidum, a third-order golden lotus, a thousand-year-old sword fruit, spiritual peaches, spiritual willows, and so on.
Ye Linyuan attached great importance to each of these spiritual plants, and spent more or less one or two years of his life on each of them.
According to Ye Linyuan's calculations, as long as he continued to nurture it with his lifespan, and with his spiritual plant skills comparable to those of a mid-level fourth-grade plant, it would not be difficult to eventually cultivate a third-grade rare treasure.
"After that, it's time to plan for the treasures to ward off disasters, as well as the main ingredient seeds for the Infant Forming Pill."
"I just don't know if there are seeds of the main ingredient of the Infant Formation Pill in the Haohai Sect's treasure house."
Ye Linyuan whispered slowly, then retracted all his thoughts, glanced at the depths of the vast ocean, and said thoughtfully: "There are still three years left, I hope there won't be any more twists and turns."
At the same time, on a deserted island on the edge of the Seven Domain Alliance, Li Xuangeng took the flying letter, and after taking a look at it, his brows couldn't help but frown slightly.
There was a hint of coldness in his eyes, but he slowly calmed down: "Well, if I don't give you a glimmer of hope, you probably won't fight me to the death."
"In this case, it depends on our respective methods."
Li Xuangeng pondered slowly, and finally wrote another letter back to Ye Linyuan. The content of the letter consisted of only one word - "Yes".
"..."
Time flies, and before I knew it, three years have passed.
Outside the Seven Domain Alliance, in the endless deep ocean, there is a shallow sea archipelago that stretches for nearly ten thousand miles.
This is an ultra-small sea area, which is inconspicuous in the Five Elements Sea. It was occupied by the Jindan force Tianheng Sect many years ago, so it is also called the Tianheng Islands.
Unfortunately, the Tianheng Islands are located in the deep sea, and there are no medium or large sea areas within the surrounding 800,000 miles. They are also surrounded by a large number of deep-sea monsters.
About eight hundred years ago, the Tianheng Sect was destroyed by a group of deep-sea giant beasts. Later, this place became the habitat of the Qingyan crab lineage of the demon clan.
It is said that the Qingyan Crab lineage is quite powerful. There are three Jindan demon kings in this lineage, including a demon king in the middle stage of Jindan.
Because these green rock crabs are deep-sea monsters, they can hide in the deep sea once they encounter danger. Even if a cultivator in the late Jindan stage comes, it is difficult to catch them.
Therefore, for many years, the three demon kings of the Qingyan Crab clan have been the kings of the Tianheng Islands for many years, and they are still standing after eight hundred years.
But on this day, a group of uninvited guests came to the Tianheng Islands.
There were more than ten Jindan people coming. The leader was dressed in snow-white clothes. With a wave of his sleeves, he raised a set of formation flags to blockade this sea area.
The Green Rock Crabs felt something was wrong and were about to flee into the deep sea, but they saw a series of sword intentions coming across the sky, which completely strangled two of them between heaven and earth. (End of this chapter)
