Chapter 306: Fourth-level Spirit Body [-word chapter]
A fourth-order middle-grade spiritual plant husband is already at the top level in the Nanling cultivation world. As far as Ye Linyuan knows, there is only one fourth-order upper-grade spiritual plant husband in the Nanling cultivation world.
This man is the Nanling Medicine Emperor, and together with the Nanling Pill Emperor, they are known as the Nanling Twin Emperors. One is a genius in alchemy, and the other is a giant in the spiritual plant lineage. Both are giants in the late Nascent Soul stage.
Ye Linyuan's current spiritual plant skills are actually close to the fourth-grade upper level, because after he refined the spiritual longevity wood, the effect of the spiritual plant's magical power can probably be improved by one level.
Even when he reached the level of the fourth-order mid-grade, this improvement was reduced a lot, which also allowed his spiritual plant skills to surpass the fourth-order mid-grade spiritual plant skills by more than half a level, reaching a level close to the fourth-order upper-grade.
"My spiritual plant skills are already considered advanced, but it's a pity that I don't have a top-quality spiritual field."
Ye Linyuan felt a little regretful and began to think about how to cultivate the best spiritual field in the future.
The biggest problem in cultivating top-grade spiritual fields is that they require large, high-level spiritual veins to provide energy.
However, the hundred times magic power of the Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong will be almost equivalent to a large spiritual vein once his cultivation reaches the initial stage of the Nascent Soul. Perhaps he will be able to directly supply the spiritual field with his own magic power.
In fact, it is better to cultivate spiritual medicine with mana instead of spiritual energy, because mana is a purer energy after refining.
However, it is difficult for cultivators to cultivate their magic power, and most of them do not have that much magic power to waste on mere elixirs.
Of course, if you want to cultivate the best spiritual field, you also need a huge amount of high-quality spiritual materials. Spiritual energy alone is definitely not enough.
However, spiritual materials can be obtained by planting some spiritual herbs of lower value, such as planting second and third level spiritual medicines on a large scale. After they mature, they can be made into spiritual fertilizers, which can become materials for cultivating top-quality spiritual fields.
"There's nothing wrong with this idea, but the prerequisite is that I have to cultivate my magic power to more than a hundred times."
Ye Linyuan whispered slowly. Due to the lack of spiritual energy in recent years, his cultivation progress has been slow.
He spent most of his time perfecting and creating his magical powers, so his mana increased very slowly, and he still only had more than 300 mana points.
"It will be soon. Once the Xuanyuan Zhenhai Flag is successfully cultivated, I can start to absorb the energy of heaven and earth to practice."
"By the way, considering the time, Lei Jiaomu should have been promoted."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, and without wasting any time, he directly activated the teleportation array and went to the cave world.
After returning to the cave world, Ye Linyuan went to the spiritual field as soon as possible and found that the Thunder Dragon Wood had been successfully promoted and turned into a fourth-level Thunder Dragon Wood.
The fourth-level Thunder Dragon Wood is already covered with one mysterious dragon pattern after another, and the effect is obviously no longer what it used to be.
In addition to the Thunder Dragon Wood, other spiritual medicines such as the Golden Bamboo and the Moon Flower are also growing well, and it seems that they will all be mature within thirty years.
As for Ye Linyuan's natal spiritual treasure, the Xuanyuan Zhenhai Flag, it seemed to be still gathering strength, and the spirit within it seemed to be in the process of being nurtured.
“Even if I shorten my lifespan by 2,400 years and combine it with the mysteries of wood-based refining techniques, it is still not an easy task to cultivate a complete set of spiritual treasures.”
Ye Linyuan whispered slowly and couldn't help but let out a breath slowly.
He gritted his teeth and performed the Cang Hai Nurturing Soul Technique, Zhe Tian Nurturing Soul Technique and Qi Yao Nurturing Soul Technique, which consumed another 600 years of his life and replenished the essence of the Xuan Yuan Zhen Hai Flag.
Up to this point, Ye Linyuan had spent a full three thousand years of his life just to cultivate the Xuanyuan Zhenhai Flag.
If he was not an immortal with a long lifespan, and if his Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong could not restore the lifespan lost unnaturally, he would probably not be willing to pay such a huge price to cultivate the spiritual tree.
"It shouldn't be a problem."
Ye Linyuan whispered and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The Zhetian Yangling Technique has already supplemented the foundation of this set of spiritual treasures, and the Qiyao Yangling Method that contracts the natal spiritual treasure also seems to have a very high degree of fit.
In this way, according to his estimation, this set of formation flags should be promoted in thirty years at the latest.
All with the help of this set of spiritual treasure formation, Ye Linyuan's strength will be directly comparable to the top middle Nascent Soul stage, and his plan of directly absorbing and exhaling the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth to practice will also be able to begin to be implemented.
After wasting his essence to cultivate his natal formation device, Ye Linyuan was still a little worried. He stayed in the cave world for five years and took good care of the elixir for five years.
Five years later, after Ye Linyuan confirmed that there would be no accidents, he completely cut down the Thunder Dragon Wood and then took the teleportation array back to Red Dragon Mountain.
This time, Ye Linyuan also brought Ye Chongyun with him, because Ye Chongyun's black bronze battle body had been accumulated for many years and he was only one step away from breaking through to perfection.
The underground fire veins of Red Dragon Mountain will be the key to his cultivation of a perfect combat body.
After returning to Chilong Mountain, Ye Linyuan went directly to the retreat room, thoroughly refined the Thunder Dragon Wood into pure origin, and integrated it into the Thunder Dragon Pile bit by bit.
When he merged a whole Thunder Dragon Wood into the Thunder Dragon Pile, the entire Thunder Dragon Pile underwent tremendous changes and turned into a Thunder Dragon Pile covered with dragon patterns.
"Fake spiritual treasure - Thunder Dragon Pillar."
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart and gained some understanding of the power of this set of Thunder Dragon Posture.
After the Thunder Dragon Pillar was upgraded, its power increased by more than several times and it has become a pseudo-spiritual treasure with great power.
"The Thunder Dragon Pillar has become a pseudo-spiritual treasure, but whether it can be promoted to a spiritual treasure depends on its chance and luck."
Ye Linyuan whispered slowly, with a hint of emotion in his eyes.
Compared to his natal spiritual treasure, the Xuanyuan Zhenhai Flag, the cost of cultivating this Thunder Dragon Pillar into a spiritual treasure is much greater. Ye Linyuan estimated that it would take at least five or six thousand years of his life to complete it.
Because there are thirty-six Thunder Dragon Pillars, and their compatibility with Ye Linyuan is far less than that of the Xuanyuan Zhenhai Flag.
Therefore, Ye Linyuan would definitely not be willing to waste so many years of his life to cultivate it, and could only wait and see if there would be other opportunities in the future to nurture it into a spiritual treasure.
Of course, the Thunder Dragon Pillar at the pseudo-spiritual treasure level will definitely be enough for the next few hundred years.
With Ye Linyuan's current cultivation level, this set of pseudo-spiritual treasures is enough to severely damage a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, and can summon a thunder dragon with combat power comparable to that of a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm to fight the enemy.
In addition, the effect of this set of pseudo-spiritual treasures in refining magic power impurities has already reached the minimum standard for refining the vital energy of heaven and earth.
Moreover, its effect on strengthening the physical body has also been greatly enhanced, and it has been able to meet one of the two conditions for Ye Linyuan to cultivate into a fourth-level spiritual body.
“When the Golden Flame Ancient Wood and the Mysterious Yang Spirit Wood are promoted to the fourth level, and combined with the underground fire veins here to set up a fire attribute body refining formation, the path of true fire body refining should not be a problem.”
Ye Linyuan whispered slowly. In fact, the fourth-level underground fire vein can already have the initial effect of refining a fourth-level spiritual body. It's just that his four-spirit combat body is too strong, so it is difficult to completely break the limit and cultivate a fourth-level spiritual body.
After all, his Four Spirits Combat Body is so powerful that no ordinary person can match it.
But once the fourth-level formation is set up, this problem should not be difficult to solve.
Getting back to the point, after cultivating the pseudo-spiritual treasure Thunder Dragon Post, Ye Linyuan began to devote most of his energy to deducing the exercises.
In the following years, he began to concentrate all his energy on comprehending the Wanhua Immortal Furnace, and before he knew it, another twenty years had passed.
Without any need to practice, Ye Linyuan put all his energy into deducing his supernatural powers. As expected, his attainments in supernatural powers improved by leaps and bounds. In just twenty years, he had completely perfected the Wanhua Immortal Furnace to the level of minor success.
At this point, Ye Linyuan has completed the four major conditions for directly absorbing the vital energy of heaven and earth, the super spirit gathering array, the thunder dragon pile, the Wanhua Immortal Furnace, and the fourth spirit refining artifact for purifying impurities. He has already met two of the key conditions.
According to Ye Linyuan's estimation, as long as he could meet the first three conditions, he could directly absorb the vital energy of heaven and earth to practice.
Now that two have been achieved, the Super Spirit Gathering Array can be replaced by the Xuanyuan Zhenhai Flag, so he only needs to collect the Xuanyuan Zhenhai Flags to start practicing.
"According to the time calculation, the Xuanyuan Zhenhai Flag can be cultivated and formed within ten years."
Ye Linyuan calculated with his fingers, then put his other thoughts aside one by one and came to the spiritual field of Chilong Mountain to cut down spiritual trees.
After his years of cultivation, the Xuan Yang Spiritual Tree and the Golden Flame Ancient Tree of Chilong Mountain have been promoted to the fourth level. Now is the time to harvest these two spiritual trees.
But when he cut down two spiritual trees, he immediately obtained a large number of fourth-level fire-attribute spiritual trees, which were more than enough to set up the large formation.
He first used the Xuanyang spiritual wood to refine a set of fourth-level pseudo-spiritual treasure array devices to strengthen the Red Dragon Mountain's protective formation.
He also integrated the ancient golden flame tree into the underground fire veins and set up a golden flame body refining formation.
This formation can greatly increase the power of the earth fire, gather the power of the earth fire to refine the true body, and can also adjust the temperature and power of the flame to prevent the flame from being too powerful and causing death by the flame.
"With this great formation, my Four Spirits Combat Body may be able to transform."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, and then stepped into the Golden Flame Body Refining Array, using the power of the underground fire veins to refine his true body.
As he urged it, infinite earth fire power suddenly burned in, and the surging fourth-order flames continued to burn his body. This power was enough to turn an early Nascent Soul into ashes in just a moment.
Ye Linyuan's fourth-level combat body was very strong, but he could not withstand such power. In just a moment he was completely burned and severely injured.
Fortunately, his Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong recovered beyond belief. With the continuous shining of infinite moonlight power, his injuries began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye.
As a result, his body was burning in the constant destruction and rebirth, and became more and more powerful and unfathomable in the constant tempering.
While refining his body with true fire, in his spare time he would also use the Thunder Dragon Pillar to set up a large formation to attract heavenly thunder to temper his body.
After retiring in this way, just three years later, he had completely broken through the limits of his physical body and successfully cultivated a fourth-level spiritual body.
"The body of the Four Spirits has finally reached the fourth level."
After successfully cultivating his spiritual body, Ye Linyuan’s physical combat power increased tremendously.
Originally, the combat power of his Four Spirits Combat Body was only at the threshold of the early Nascent Soul stage, but now after completing the breakthrough, it is completely different from before and has reached the realm of the middle Nascent Soul stage.
"With my physical body and magical power, I should be considered a leader among those in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul."
Ye Linyuan estimated in his mind and gained a deeper understanding of his own strength.
However, he was very clear that physical combat power was a trump card that should not be used lightly. In the future, when facing the enemy, he would definitely try his best to hide this trump card so that he would have the opportunity to catch the enemy off guard.
Therefore, this breakthrough is just an extra trump card for him, and cannot be used as a conventional means to fight against the enemy.
"If you want to improve your strength, you have to improve from the Xuanyuan Zhenhai Flag."
Ye Linyuan was estimating in his mind, he knew very well that once the Xuanyuan Zhenhai Flag was upgraded to a complete set of spiritual treasures, it would definitely bring him an immense improvement.
This improvement is enough to make Ye Linyuan rank among the top middle-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, and is enough to fight against several ordinary middle-stage Nascent Soul cultivators together.
"It's about time. Just let it settle for a few more years."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, and then suddenly felt an extremely powerful aura appearing in the Red Dragon Mountain.
He looked up and found that in the hot magma, the Lihuo Dragon was constantly crashing into the magma, roaring and growling, as if it was undergoing an extremely painful transformation.
Ye Xuqiu also noticed something unusual, and couldn't help but get up and fly over here, looking at the Lihuo Jiaolong's puzzled stability: "Lihuo Jiaolong, what is..."
"It combines the Luotian Blood Flame and the Nanli Sky Fire. Now that the bloodline is at a critical moment of transformation, success depends on this step."
Ye Linyuan whispered slowly, and couldn't help revealing a solemn expression.
Whether it is Luotian Blood Flame or Nanli Sky Fire, they are both among the top-level strange fires in the world, so it is naturally extremely difficult to fuse them.
Although the Lihuo Flood Dragon is the leader of the fire dragons, the fusion of these two strange fires is also extremely risky.
Fortunately, Ye Linyuan was well prepared and had prepared for him some rare treasures such as the Dragon Fruit and the Motherboard Bloodline Elixir. He could take advantage of the opportunity to refine the spiritual fire to reach the realm of the King Blood Dragon.
"Don't panic. With the help of the conflict of spiritual fires, swallow the blood of the Dragon Fruit Transformation King. Then you can completely refine these two spiritual fires."
Seeing that the Lihuo Flood Dragon was in great pain, Ye Linyuan hurriedly reminded it.
After hearing what he said, Lihuo Jiaolong decisively swallowed the dragon fruit and immediately started the most critical step of transforming into a dragon.
As time went on, and it was unknown how long it had passed, the Lihuo Dragon completely completed its transformation.
A pair of gorgeous dragon horns grew on its head, and dragon whiskers grew at the corners of its mouth. The scales all over its body emitted a red-gold glow, and it seemed to be no different from the fire dragon in mythology and legends.
"The King Blood Dragon has been completed. It is only one step away from transforming into a true dragon."
Ye Linyuan whispered slowly and couldn't help but smile.
After the Lihuo Dragon King completed his transformation, he thoroughly refined the Luotian Blood Flame and the Nanli Sky Fire. The aura around him almost reached the limit of the Golden Core Realm, almost reaching a level comparable to the Black Prison Prince.
Ye Linyuan roughly understood in his heart that after completing the transformation, the Lihuo Dragon's bloodline had already touched the threshold of ordinary true spirits of heaven and earth. With this kind of foundation, it could at least be cultivated to the initial stage of the Yuanshen in ancient times.
Moreover, after the Lihuo Dragon refined the two spiritual fires, the true spiritual blood in its body underwent a slight mutation, as if it had vaguely awakened a trace of the ancient Eight Desolate Mysterious Fire blood.
The Eight Desolate Mysterious Fire is one of the ancient strange fires and is also the supreme bloodline of the Fire Dragon clan.
In ancient times, there were too many true spirits of heaven and earth, and the gaps between these true spirits were enormous.
Some can only break through to the early stage of Yuanshen, while some can break through to the realm of Lianxu, so these true spirits of heaven and earth are divided into different categories.
It can be roughly divided into three levels: ordinary true spirits of heaven and earth, upper-level true spirits of heaven and earth, and top-level true spirits of heaven and earth.
These three levels represent the lower limit of the growth of the True Spirit of Heaven and Earth. Among them, the ordinary True Spirit of Heaven and Earth is guaranteed to break through the early stage of the Primordial Spirit, and the upper-level True Spirit of Heaven and Earth is guaranteed to break through the middle stage of the Primordial Spirit.
However, the top true spirits of heaven and earth had no bottleneck before breaking through to the late stage of the spirit in ancient times.
There are too many dragons, so their qualifications and potentials are uneven. The powerful dragons are not weaker than the upper or even top spirits of heaven and earth, while the weak dragons can only be comparable to ordinary spirits of heaven and earth.
The Eight Desolate Fire Dragon is the top true spirit of heaven and earth in the Fire Dragon lineage, and is even one of the most powerful among the top true spirits of heaven and earth.
It is said that the Eight Desolate Fire Dragon can control eight kinds of ancient strange fire, and is the leader of all fire dragons in the world. Once it ascends to the fairyland, it will almost certainly become a true immortal.
In ancient times, as long as the Eight Desolate Fire Dragon clan did not die halfway, they could basically cultivate to the state of great perfection of the soul, and were one of the strongest true dragons among the dragon clan.
In terms of combat power and potential, the Eight Desolate Fire Dragon is stronger than the Purple Xi Sky Dragon and the Qianlan Ice Dragon, who are also upper-level true dragons.
"It is extremely difficult to gather all eight kinds of rare fire, but there is no shortage of spiritual fire in the Nanling cultivation world. At worst, there is always hope of success if we search the entire Haotian Ancient World."
"However, compared to finding the strange fire, being able to fuse the eight kinds of strange fire is the most difficult step."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, fusing two kinds of strange fire is already quite difficult, it can be seen that fusing eight kinds of strange fire is even more difficult.
The Lihuo Flood Dragon must at least transform into an ancient red dragon before it has hope of further successful transformation.
Of course, these are still far away for the time being. For the Red Dragon, the transformation of the royal blood is already a huge breakthrough.
As a royal blood dragon, the Lihuo dragon does not even need too many spiritual objects from heaven and earth. Just relying on one heavenly beast king pill is enough to make a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage.
"Owner."
Just as Ye Linyuan was in deep thought, the Lihuo Dragon slowly circled and finally transformed into a heroic young man with dragon horns on his head. He respectfully bowed to Ye Linyuan.
The blood of the King Blood Dragon is extraordinary, and it can transform into a human form when it reaches the Golden Core state.
As for transforming into a human form in the Golden Elixir Realm, it is basically exclusive to the True Spirits of Heaven and Earth and the top bloodlines that are comparable to the True Spirits of Heaven and Earth.
"good."
Ye Linyuan nodded, patted Lihuo Chijiao's shoulder and said with a smile: "Consolidate it well, and in a few years, I will protect you to break through the Nascent Soul stage."
"Thank you, Master."
Lihuo Jiaolong saluted again, then stood up and went into seclusion to consolidate his bloodline.
With the cultivation of the fourth-level spiritual body, Ye Linyuan's days became gradually freer. He began to take care of the spiritual fields while helping Ye Chongyun to cultivate a perfect combat body.
Ye Chongyun's black bronze combat body is a natural combat body. After more than 400 years of practice, it has reached a level comparable to the ninth level of the golden elixir. Now he is only one step away from the perfection of the combat body.
However, the perfect combat body is a huge hurdle, and it is definitely difficult to cultivate it through conventional means.
However, with the lightning and fire refining of the Tiangang Thunder Dragon Array and the underground fire vein array, plus Ye Linyuan's healing ability, it was much easier for Ye Chongyun to break through.
About a few years later, Ye Chongyun's fighting body was finally perfected under the refining of the True Fire, and he possessed the strength to challenge the fake infant.
After completing this breakthrough, Ye Chongyun had about 80% of the combat power of the early Nascent Soul stage, and could be considered a false infant ancestor who had achieved enlightenment in the flesh.
Moreover, Ye Chongyun's life span has also increased dramatically. Although it is not as long as the 2,400-year life span of Yuanying Zhenjun, it is not much different from the life span of the False Infant Ancestor. Theoretically, he can live for about 2,000 years. It can be said that with Ye Chongyun's breakthrough, the Ye family has gained an False Infant Ancestor who has achieved enlightenment in the flesh.
However, after reaching this step, it would be extremely difficult for Ye Chongyun to make further breakthroughs. Unless he encountered a sufficiently mysterious opportunity, it would be difficult for him to make further progress.
A natural combat body represents a higher starting point, but it also often limits the creativity and plasticity of cultivators. Ye Chongyun's future path may be difficult.
Of course, for the common people in the world, a perfect combat body is already considered a heaven-defying opportunity.
Back to the point, after Ye Chongyun's combat body was perfected, Ye Linyuan resumed his life of cultivation, but this time he was interrupted by a letter not long after he started.
This letter came from True Lord Taiheng. It said in the letter that True Lord Jinlian and others had been planning a lot in recent years. They seemed to be contacting Ye Linyuan's enemies from all sides and waiting for the opportunity to take action.
"It seems that they have already calculated that the Fire Dragon is about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage."
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart and couldn't help but sneer.
In fact, he had anticipated this, but Ye Linyuan was not too worried.
He has many enemies, especially the Yang family and the Jinlian Dao Sect behind Jinlian Zhenjun. They are not ordinary Nascent Soul Immortals, and it is a foregone conclusion that they have a fourth-rank Tianji Master.
It was not surprising that the other party could calculate the approximate date of the formation of the Lihuo Flood Dragon. After all, Ye Linyuan did not deliberately conceal it.
Because he knew very well that strength was respected in the world of immortal cultivation, once his Xuanyuan Zhenhai Flag was upgraded to a set of spiritual treasures, all problems would be solved.
After burning the letters, Ye Linyuan came to the spiritual field and took care of the sun fruits again. He found that the spirituality of the two sun fruits had completely matured.
"With a fourth-level fire vein, the sun fruit matures quickly."
Ye Linyuan pondered for a moment, then picked two sun fruits, as well as a batch of main ingredients for the Infant-forming Pill.
After collecting the elixirs, Ye Linyuan came to the cave world through the teleportation array.
Arriving at the spiritual medicine garden, Ye Linyuan checked the various spiritual medicines and discovered that the Xuanyuan Zhenhai Flag was still a little short of formation, but the other main ingredients of the Tianying Pill were already mature.
So he used his spiritual plant skills to take care of them for a while, and then picked all the main herbs, and finally started to refine the Tianying Pill on the spot.
With the help of the Xuanyang Spirit Fire, refining the Tianying Pill was not a problem. Ye Linyuan spent more than half a month and finally succeeded in refining two furnaces of Tianying Pill.
In the first batch, he produced three Tianying Pills. With better luck in the second batch, he produced four, for a total of seven Tianying Pills.
"One each for Hanqing, Xuqiu, Yingxu, and Kunling. The remaining three can be traded later."
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.
The Tianying Pill is a top-grade spiritual item for forming an infant, and is extremely rare in this era. If you take it out, you can at least exchange it for two fourth-grade intermediate-grade longevity pills.
If you come across a late Nascent Soul sect that is in urgent need of such precious pills, you might be able to exchange them for even more rare treasures.
After all, there is no bottleneck before the Tiandao Yuanying breaks through the late Yuanying stage, and the difficulty of breaking through the late Yuanying stage is much lower.
After refining the Tianying Pill, Ye Linyuan saw that the Xuanyuan Zhenhai Flag would take a few years to mature, so he took Shui Hanqing and left the cave world.
"We have been dormant for many years. Let's go out and see what the situation is like now."
After leaving the cave world, Ye Linyuan sensed the direction of the Five Elements Continent, and calculated for a moment with his fingers, then his brows slightly frowned.
Shui Hanqing, who was standing by, saw this and couldn't help but say, "The war has been unfavorable in recent years, and the Five Elements Dao Sect has lost almost all of its affiliated islands."
"Now, those capable humans have already escaped from the Five Elements Sea, and the rest have basically migrated to the Five Elements Continent."
Ye Linyuan nodded. The Five Elements Sect had suffered successive defeats in recent years, and even five core sea areas such as the Renshui Sea had been lost.
Today, the Five Elements Taoist Sect can only be trapped in the Five Elements Continent, relying on the support of other Nascent Soul forces to fight back.
In fact, the Eastern Region and even the Central Region had given a lot of support to the Five Elements Sect over the years. Unfortunately, the Five Elements Sect's successive defeats had made other forces in the Central Region and the Eastern Region dissatisfied.
It is also because of this that the support received by the Five Elements Taoist Sect has gradually decreased, otherwise it would not have lost five super-large affiliated sea areas such as the Renshui Sea.
Moreover, Ye Linyuan discovered that the Black Abyss Dragon Palace’s means of warfare were quite special.
They do not blindly take a steady approach, nor do they always launch a powerful offensive, but instead choose the method of steady progress.
In order to win the war, the Black Abyss Dragon Palace will risk using various strategies and tactics to achieve victory through narrow means and calculations.
For example, decades ago, the two old True Lords of the Five Elements Taoist Sect were ambushed. It was because the Black Abyss Dragon Palace set up an empty city plan and used special methods to disguise themselves as the Nascent Soul Demon Emperor, deceiving the perception of the Five Elements Taoist Sect and the Deep Sea Demon Emperor.
If not, they would not have been able to fight against the Five Elements Taoist Sect and the Deep Sea Demon King while having enough strength to set up a net to deal with the two old True Lords.
However, once a stage victory is achieved, the Black Abyss Dragon Palace will not immediately launch the next offensive.
They would choose to boil the frog in warm water, while consuming the enemy, they would continue to digest the gains of the war and improve their own strength.
It can be said that the fighting method of the Black Abyss Dragon Palace is basically not to give the opponent any chance, and simply rely on snowballing to overwhelm the opponent.
The balance of war gradually tilted, and even if Meng Nanfeng was a genius, it would be difficult to reverse the situation.
According to this situation, it would take another few decades for the Black Abyss Dragon Palace to completely digest the spoils of the war, and that would probably be the day for the general attack on the Five Elements Taoist Sect.
"If we don't take action, the Five Elements Dao Sect will eventually be completely defeated."
Shui Hanqing opened his mouth slowly, and then sighed calmly.
Ye Linyuan shook his head and said with some regret: "If my guess is correct, the Five Elements Dao Sect may have to give up the mountain gate."
Shui Hanqing was slightly stunned when he heard this.
Ye Linyuan was very calm and just said lightly: "The Deep Sea Monster Kings such as the Canghai Monster Crocodile on the front line have basically retreated to the rear. Now the Five Elements Dao Sect can no longer support itself."
"If they withdraw now, they may have a chance to preserve their strength with the support of all the major forces. But if they wait for decades until the Black Abyss Dragon Palace digests its harvest, do you think they can still retreat safely?"
When Shui Hanqing heard this, he immediately understood everything.
As the two were talking, they unknowingly arrived outside the Five Elements Continent.
However, on the edge of the vast Five Elements Continent, hundreds of huge treasure ships were floating in the air, loaded with people and supplies, and seemed to be preparing to evacuate to a distant place.
"With so many Tier 3 treasure ships, it looks like they are really going to have to conduct a century-long retreat."
Shui Hanqing whispered, with a look of surprise in his eyes.
Ye Linyuan looked calm, and just said calmly: "It should be a treasure ship from other forces in the East Region, specially sent to help transfer the elite troops from the Five Elements Sea."
Shui Hanqing nodded. These hundreds of third-tier treasure ships were carrying tens of millions of cultivators, who were obviously the last elite and stronghold of the Five Elements Sea.
Once these people are able to evacuate safely, there will be a chance to fight back in the future.
Moreover, even if they cannot fight back, if these cultivators can evacuate to the rear sea area, it will greatly enhance the defensive capabilities of the other major forces in the Eastern Region.
In fact, the elite monks in the Five Elements Sea had already evacuated many times in the past hundred years. Many families with connections had already left early, and this was just the last and largest group.
Thinking of this, Shui Hanqing couldn't help but say, "I'm afraid the Black Abyss Dragon Palace may not be willing to see them evacuate safely."
"So I came here this time to see if I can help secretly."
Ye Linyuan spoke calmly. Although he was still unwilling to reveal his strength, Ye Linyuan now had a lot of cards up his sleeve.
Over the years, Ye Linyuan has obtained a lot of materials from planting spiritual trees. Combined with the materials exchanged at the barter conference, he has repaired two fourth-level low-grade puppets.
A fourth-order low-grade puppet is comparable to an early Nascent Soul stage, but its strength is slightly weaker than that of the same level. However, it can barely be considered as the combat power of an early Nascent Soul stage.
With these two fourth-level puppets, even if Ye Linyuan does not take direct action, he should be able to help at critical moments.
Moreover, Ye Linyuan suspected that the human race in the Central Region and the Northern Region might not be willing to see this group of elite humans being killed by the Black Abyss Dragon Palace, and would most likely send personnel to assist in the evacuation of this group of humans.
"I still have enemies in the Southern Territory that I haven't dealt with yet. In order to avoid getting into trouble on both sides, I will try my best to hide my identity this time."
"However, Meng Nanfeng has great potential and can become a good ally."
Ye Linyuan spoke slowly. If he wanted to practice his Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong quickly, refining water energy was the best choice.
Therefore, in the future, he will definitely have to stay in Cangling Sea for most of his time, and he will have a lot of troubles in Cangling Sea. The Black Abyss Dragon Palace and the Tianhe Sect are both big enemies, and there is also the big trouble of that late Nascent Soul.
In this situation, Meng Nanfeng is a very useful ally, and Ye Linyuan will not give him up easily unless he has no other choice.
Shui Hanqing seemed to understand something, and then asked: "My husband called me out, could it be that he figured out that Meng Nanfeng is in trouble?"
"Well, Meng Nanfeng is in trouble, and I am ready to lend him a helping hand."
Ye Linyuan spoke calmly, and then added: "As for Madam, I want you to secretly protect several fellow practitioners of the Tianxing Sword Sect."
As the two were talking, the treasure ships outside the Five Elements Continent had already started moving. Hundreds of third-level treasure ships formed a fleet and sailed away into the distance.
But there were also many monks and mortals who did not even get the chance to board the ship.
It is obvious that the future situation of mortals and low-level cultivators will not be very good, and many of them may become food for the demons.
Of course, because humans are good at cultivating the various arts, the demons will definitely not kill all the humans who remain. Some high-level practitioners of the various arts may even have extremely high status.
But this is only limited to humans who are good at cultivating the various arts. Most of the others will be kept in captivity in the Black Abyss Dragon Palace.
Ye Linyuan did not intervene in this matter. He was well aware of the disastrous defeat of the war and the outcome was almost inevitable.
Unless Ye Linyuan displays his full strength and unites with the Five Elements Taoist Sect, there will be a possibility of defending the Five Elements Continent, but this will bring him greater trouble.
The Black Abyss Dragon Palace and the Tianhe Dao Sect are both dominant forces in the middle Nascent Soul stage. Once he reveals his strength, he will need to face these two major forces at the same time. What should he do about the trouble in Chixiazhou then?
"It still requires waiting and settling down, and only when the time is right can the sword be unsheathed."
While Ye Linyuan was feeling anxious, the fleet had already left the Five Elements Continent.
The fleet had only flown over 100,000 miles when it was attacked by a large number of deep-sea monsters.
Countless shrimp soldiers and crab generals, as well as the deep-sea monsters under the Dragon Palace, attacked and besieged the fleet. A war was about to break out.
"Fight!"
At the same time, bursts of roars were heard from the fleet.
Suddenly, rays of five-colored light rose into the sky, and a total of 50,000 monks flew in front of the treasure ship.
"Is this... the Five Elements Taoist Soldiers?"
Ye Linyuan whispered, revealing a hint of curiosity.
I have heard about the Five Elements Taoist Soldiers of the Five Elements Taoist Sect for a long time, but this is the first time I have seen the Five Elements Taoist Soldiers in battle.
And these 50,000 Taoist soldiers are indeed not weak. The lowest among them is at the Foundation Establishment stage, and there are more than a hundred people at the Golden Core stage. The cultivation level of their leader is as high as the False Infant stage.
"kill--"
At this moment, as the commander roared, countless soldiers suddenly emitted five-colored rays of light from their bodies.
These rays of light suddenly gathered together and merged into the body of the Taoist soldier commander, and suddenly burst out with an attack comparable to that of several early Nascent Soul cultivators combined.
The power of this attack was so great that it instantly killed countless monsters that blocked the way and forcibly opened a bloody path.
"Daoist Army Formation."
Ye Linyuan whispered that the Taoist military method was very special. Strictly speaking, it was a special formation.
Every Taoist soldier has a life-long spiritual weapon or magic weapon in his body, and the spiritual weapons and magic weapons are formation tools that can condense their power together to form a super-large killing formation.
It is also because of this that the Taoist soldiers can work together to fight against enemies of higher levels, and even surround and kill powerful enemies with the Taoist soldiers formation.
Of course, Taoist soldiers also have great disadvantages. To follow the path of Taoist soldiers, one must practice special Taoist soldier techniques, and in this era it is also difficult to break through to the Nascent Soul stage or above.
Legend has it that in ancient times, there were supreme Taoist soldiers in the ancient world of Haotian who used their Nascent Souls as soldiers and their Primordial Spirits as generals. However, that was only an ancient legend and it is impossible for it to appear in this era.
"It's not that easy to leave."
Just as Ye Linyuan was deep in thought, a roar was heard from the deep sea.
But they saw as many as 200,000 shrimp soldiers and crab generals surrounding the Taoist soldiers, blocking the way of the Five Elements Taoist soldiers.
However, these shrimp soldiers and crab generals were weak in combat, and the Taoist formation was no match for the Five Elements formation, and they were soon forced to create a gap by the Five Elements Taoist soldiers.
"Fifty thousand against two hundred thousand, and they were able to kill them all. The Five Elements Dao Sect's trump card is indeed not weak."
"But the real elite of the dragon clan are not these shrimp soldiers and crab generals."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart that the dragon clan was not good at practicing the various arts of Taoism, so although these shrimp soldiers and crab generals were quite powerful, most of them did not have formation equipment, and therefore could not condense the true power of the Taoist soldiers.
But Ye Linyuan knew very well that the shrimp soldiers and crab generals were just miscellaneous soldiers, and the real elite of the dragon clan were definitely not these small fry.
"You remnants of the human race, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape today."
At this moment, huge waves arose from the depths of the ocean.
Then more than three hundred black dragons rose into the air and blocked the front of the entire fleet.
"Black Dragon Taoist Soldiers, these are the personal soldiers of the Black Abyss Dragon Emperor."
At this moment, the entire fleet looked solemn.
The Black Dragon Taoist soldiers are all composed of black dragons that are the descendants of the true spirits. These are all real demon kings. Most of them have the same level of bloodline and strength as the Black Dragon Demon King back then.
Only a mid-Nascent Soul Overlord can train a large number of Demon King Dao soldiers.
The average Demon King in the early Nascent Soul stage has at most a few dozen Taoist soldiers at the Golden Core level.
The reason why the Black Dragon Demon King can train so many Taoist soldiers is mainly because the dragon clan is indeed so fertile.
With the bloodline of the Black Abyss Dragon Emperor, if he finds a Jindan demon to give birth to offspring, he can give birth to the Black Dragon, a descendant of the true spirit. The Black Abyss Dragon Emperor has many concubines, so naturally he gave birth to a large number of offspring.
These black dragons with mixed bloodlines are not taken seriously at all in the eyes of the Black Abyss Dragon Emperor.
What he really cared about were those pure-blooded dragons, so many of these black dragon offspring were trained by him to become Taoist soldiers.
Only when one's cultivation breaks through the realm of false infant, or transforms into a real dragon, can one barely gain the recognition of the Black Abyss Dragon Emperor and get rid of the identity of a Taoist soldier.
Therefore, it is not difficult for the Black Abyss Dragon Emperor to gather these more than 300 Taoist soldiers, and he can also divide a large number of Black Dragon Taoist soldiers to his offspring with greater potential.
At this time, more than three hundred black dragon Taoist soldiers appeared and directly launched a large formation of Taoist soldiers, which instantly brought about a huge tsunami that swept across, trying to completely submerge the entire fleet.
"town--"
The Five Elements Taoist soldiers immediately fought with all their might, but they were no match for the mere 300 Black Dragon Taoist soldiers, and were forced to retreat under the pressure of the tsunami.
Seeing that the battle situation was unfavorable, Meng Nanfeng above the sky suddenly attacked, splitting the raging sea with one sword, and creating a way of survival for everyone.
After one move, he looked up at the sky and found that several figures had appeared above it. He sighed and said, "It seems that we have to fight again today."
"Forget it, you guys leave quickly, I will cover your retreat."
As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Nanfeng suddenly soared into the sky, followed by True Lord Qingzhu and True Lord Chongyuan.
After years of training, Master Chong Yuan has rebuilt his physical body, but has not yet recovered his full strength.
Meng Nanfeng has broken through the Nascent Soul stage for more than a hundred years, and his cultivation has reached the second level of the Nascent Soul stage. Combined with his strong foundation that can be called a half-step Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul, he has become the leader of the Five Elements Sect today.
