Chapter 318 Chongyun Opportunity
After the Heavenly Demon Saint Emperor completely disappeared, the Great Desolate Saint Lord slowly stood up.
But his whole body was shrouded in countless mysterious auras, making it impossible to see the extent of his injuries.
However, the momentum of the Holy Lord Taihuang was still at its peak, and he spoke with an invincible aura.
"Everyone, today's exchange meeting will go on as usual, but you'd better not violate the rules of this exchange meeting. Otherwise, although I am old, I can still visit you in person."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Holy Lord of Taihuang walked into the air and disappeared into the depths of the vast Taihuang blessed land.
After the Holy Lord of Taihuang left, all the True Lords present breathed a sigh of relief, and each of them showed a look of shock.
In this battle, the strength displayed by both sides was truly terrifying. Whether it was the giant demon king like the Golden-winged Roc, or the means displayed by the Holy Lord of Taihuang, they could be said to be invincible.
As for the methods used by the Demon Saint Emperor, many people were horrified and shocked. It was extremely rare in Nanling for a powerful being of the Supreme Giant level to take action, and it might not appear once in thousands of years.
"What is their purpose in today's battle?"
Ye Linyuan whispered slowly and couldn't help pondering.
Upon hearing this, Tai Heng Zhen Jun couldn't help but sigh and said, "The Taihuang Holy Land is about to decline, but it still has a lot of heritage left, and there are special ways to extend the life of the Taihuang Holy Lord."
“Although Peng Huang paid a huge price in this battle, it caused the Grand Lord of Great Desolation to consume the last of his Grand Desolation Holy Blood, and he was also forced to break out of the fourth-order upper-grade profound ice.”
"If nothing unexpected happens, I'm afraid that the Holy Lord Taihuang won't be able to hold out for much longer after this battle."
After hearing this, Ye Linyuan seemed to understand something.
The Golden-Winged Roc King probably accepted bribes from some people and wanted to force out the trump card of the Holy Lord of Taihuang.
After the Holy Lord of Taihuang was forced to reveal his trump card and consumed the Holy Blood of Taiheng, it was likely that he would find it difficult to extend his lifespan in the long run, so he would not be able to hold on until the birth of the next late Nascent Soul.
By that time, when there is no late Nascent Soul master in the Taihuang lineage, they will probably be a piece of fat meat in the eyes of all major forces.
As for who is behind this, it is really hard to say. It is possible that the Heavenly Demon Saint Emperor has benefited secretly, or it is even possible that the Xuanyin Blessed Land or other late Nascent Soul forces are supporting it.
As for the Heavenly Demon Saint Emperor's move this time, it was most likely intended to test the strength of the human race.
After all, the environment of heaven and earth is gradually improving. If one can gather the opportunity to break through to the realm of the primordial spirit, it is possible to break through to the realm of the primordial spirit.
Legend has it that in order to break through the realm of the primordial spirit, a large number of rare and precious spiritual objects are needed. The three most important rare and precious objects are the Heaven Soul Pill, the Earth Soul Pill, and the Life Soul Pill.
These three kinds of elixirs are all rare elixirs, their grade is at the fourth level, and they are among the most valuable ones among the fourth level rare treasures.
But in this era, these three supreme elixirs are almost hard to come by, and some unique elixirs can only be found in ancient ruins.
Or they can only wait for the forbidden area of Jiexu or the ancient secret realm to open, hoping that such rare medicine or finished elixir will appear there.
But this method relies too much on luck, and it may not be easy to collect enough spiritual medicines.
Another way is to obtain such treasures from the late Nascent Soul forces through war, trade, or various means.
Because the Jiexu forbidden area is opened once every thousand years, many Yuanying Zhenjun have set foot in it, and over time, there are always many ancient treasures.
There are also many relics left over from ancient times within the ancient world of Haotian.
Therefore, throughout the Haotian Ancient Realm, there are many spiritual medicines needed to refine the Heaven Soul Pill, Earth Soul Pill, and Life Soul Pill scattered around. The forces in the late Nascent Soul stage may even have the key auxiliary medicines for these precious pills.
Especially since it is an ancient heritage that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, it is very likely that the main ingredient of this supreme elixir is left inside.
For a supreme giant like the Heavenly Demon Saint Emperor who aspires to reach the realm of the soul, if he could collect these elixirs, perhaps he would be able to gather the complete opportunity to reach the realm of the soul.
For example, in the Taihuang blessed land, there might be some rare and magical medicines with a long history hidden.
However, these forces with long-standing traditions are by no means easy to deal with. If he wants to collect these elixirs, it would be extremely difficult to do so by ordinary means.
Therefore, Ye Linyuan felt that the Heavenly Demon Saint Emperor made this move in order to test the bottom line of the Taihuang Blessed Land.
If the spirit of the sect's most precious treasure of the Taihuang Holy Land is still alive, then he will have to plan carefully if he wants to seize the opportunity of the soul contained therein.
If the spirit of the sect's most precious treasure has died, then it will be much easier for him.
After all, in the western region of Chixiazhou, there is the unfathomable Xuanyang Cave, and no one knows what kind of hidden secrets this lineage has.
Although the Heavenly Demon Saint Emperor boasts of his astonishing fighting power, he may not be willing to go head to head with Xuanyang Dongtian.
However, if the Heavenly Demon Saint Emperor does not take action personally, given Xuanyang Cave Heaven's habit of seclusion for many years, he most likely will not take action to seize the opportunity to seize the Taihuang Blessed Land.
In this case, the Heavenly Demon Saint Emperor only needs to ask people to plan a few things, and the possibility of obtaining the opportunity of the Taihuang Blessed Land will be greatly increased.
After all, in the entire Nanling cultivation world, there are no more than five Nascent Soul Great Perfection masters who are still active in the open, and including the long-term dormant immortals, there are probably no more than ten.
Among these Nascent Soul Great Perfection cultivators, he, the Heavenly Demon Saint Emperor, is at least ranked in the top three, and is even qualified to compete for the first supreme giant.
In fact, many people in the Nanling cultivation world believe that the Heavenly Demon Saint Emperor is likely to be the strongest person in the Nanling cultivation world.
Because in the entire Haotian Ancient Realm, the Heavenly Demon Saint Emperor is one of the top ten supreme giants. This is the result of personal deduction by the current owner of the Donghuang Tianyan Tower.
However, Tianyanlou did not give a specific ranking, so there are different opinions on whether the Heavenly Demon Saint Emperor is the strongest person in Nanling.
Because there are too many hidden treasures in the world of cultivating immortals, and there are ancient holy places like Xuanyang Cave that have not appeared in thousands of years, and these top powerhouses rarely fight in public.
There has never been a real fight, so no one can guarantee who is the strongest. Even the current owner of Tianyan Tower, who has reached the great perfection of the Nascent Soul, can only get a vague answer.
"It seems that after the death of the Great Saint Lord, this ancient holy land will completely become history."
Master Tai Heng spoke slowly, revealing a hint of regret.
Ye Linyuan also sighed a little. He understood in his heart that the fate of the Taihuang Holy Land was already doomed.
After the Holy Lord of Taihuang passes away, an ancient holy land without a late Nascent Soul master will surely become a big piece of fat meat in the eyes of all major forces.
Moreover, this kind of thing has not been uncommon since ancient times.
In the entire Haotian ancient world, there are approximately dozens of Yuanshen Daojuns born since ancient times, and a large number of Taoist sects that once existed in ancient times.
But now, the total number of ancient holy places in the Haotian Ancient Realm is probably no more than thirty.
The reason why their number is so small is mainly because they were divided up by various major forces after their decline. Even if they can still preserve part of their inheritance, they will be reduced to an ordinary Nascent Soul force.
There are only a handful of ancient forces like the Tianjian Ye family, which have been passed down from ancient times to the present day and have had people in the late Nascent Soul stage in charge from generation to generation.
Of course, if these Daotongs always exist, it may not be a good thing. In that case, the resources of the entire Haotian Ancient Realm will basically be monopolized by these forces, and ordinary people may not have any hope of setting foot in the realm of Yuanshen.
Fortunately, there are many talented people in the world, and these forces will fight each other to compete for the opportunity to gain the soul. Therefore, the current situation in the world of immortal cultivation is probably an era where ancient forces and new geniuses coexist.
Of course, the ancient forces that have survived to this day are also the real gold that has gone through the test of time. Both their foundation and heritage are unimaginable for ordinary people.
The same is true for the Taihuang lineage. Originally, they could rely on the Taihuang Holy Blood to ensure that there would be a continuous flow of late Nascent Soul cultivators from generation to generation. But now, with the bloodline of this clan drying up, it has become difficult to give birth to new late Nascent Soul cultivators.
"..."
"puff--"
Just as people outside were discussing this, the Holy Lord of Taihuang had already returned to the Holy Land of Taihuang.
As soon as he stepped into the cave world, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. The elder of the Great Desert Holy Land beside him hurriedly supported him and said in great panic: "Holy Lord..."
“Don’t make a sound!” The Great Saint Lord raised his hand quickly and said, “Help me to go to the secret hall.”
The elder quickly came to his senses and sent the Holy Lord Taihuang to a secret hall.
Inside the secret hall, Saint Lord Taihuang took a healing pill and then slowly exhaled.
But he stood up and said carefully to the middle-stage Nascent Soul elder: "After today's battle, the holy blood in my body has been exhausted. I only have a hundred years left to live at most."
Upon hearing this, the two elders present all looked extremely serious.
As high-level officials of the Taihuang Holy Land, they knew what fate their lineage would face once the Taihuang Holy Lord passed away.
So they all looked at each other, and each of them showed worry.
Upon seeing this, the Great Desolate Saint Lord asked, "How are the preparations for the sect's holy sacrifice ceremony going?"
"It's all ready, but he doesn't have Holy Blood in his body. Can we really succeed?"
An elder in a golden robe spoke up, a look of worry on his face.
The Great Desolate Saint Lord spoke calmly, and then said lightly: "In order to preserve the sect's inheritance and leave a chance for a comeback, we can only take a risk."
"I see that this person has a strong character, is open-minded and has a pure heart. Maybe there is a chance that he will succeed."
Having said this, the Great Desolate Saint straightened his manners, then looked at the golden-robed elder and said, "Go and call him over."
"Yes."
The golden-robed elder stood up and left, and soon after he walked into the secret hall with a tall and heroic young man.
If Ye Linyuan were here, he would be able to recognize this person's origin. It turned out that this person was Ye Chongyun who had been traveling for many years.
Ye Chongyun looked at everyone in the hall, and immediately bowed to the ground respectfully, saying: "Chongyun greets the Holy Lord and the two elders."
The two elders smiled and nodded, revealing a hint of satisfaction.
The Taihuang Holy Land has been in a period of transition over the years, and no one has been able to successfully practice the Taihuang Holy Land Technique for many years.
The disciples he trained were unable to cultivate the Taihuang Sacred Art, so the Taihuang lineage began to search for talented people among the Nanling immortal cultivation world.
In the Nanling cultivation world, there are quite a few physical cultivators, but not many who can cultivate a perfect combat body.
As for these geniuses who have cultivated perfect combat bodies, either the forces behind them are not in good relations with the Taihuang Holy Land, or they are too old to be trained, or they are too afraid of death to switch to practicing the Taihuang Holy Land.
So after careful selection, they finally found Ye Chongyun, a physical cultivator with a perfect combat body.
First of all, Ye Chongyun is very young, with a perfect combat body of only over 500 years old, which is considered a rare talent in the world of immortal cultivation.
Secondly, the overall quality of his Black Bronze Combat Body is very balanced, without too many weaknesses or strengths, and it can be regarded as a weakened version of the Taihuang Holy Body.
Legend has it that the Taihuang Saint King of that year used the Black Bronze Battle Body as his foundation, and eventually cultivated the Taihuang Saint Body with unparalleled physical combat power.
With this foundation, Ye Chongyun might be able to increase his success rate a little if he switches to practicing the Great Desolation Sacred Art.
In addition, Ye Chongyun has a strong heart for Taoism and a relatively clean family background. Ye Linyuan, the patriarch of the Ye family in Chilong Mountain, has the potential to be a giant.
This lineage has no grudges against the Taihuang Holy Land and will be able to protect Ye Chongyun through his weak period in the future.
Combining the above advantages, what is rare is that Ye Chongyun is indifferent to life and death, and is not afraid of the life-and-death situation of practicing the Taihuang Holy Art. He is willing to practice the Taihuang Holy Art, which is almost as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, Ye Chongyun became the first choice for the successor of the Taihuang Holy Land, and the best choice for cultivating the Taihuang Holy Body.
At this time, the Great Desolate Saint Lord nodded, and then said with a serious look: "Ye Chongyun, have you considered switching to practicing the Great Desolate Saint Technique?"
"This transformation is a life-or-death struggle. If you retreat now, it's not too late."
Ye Chongyun smiled and stood calmly, saying, "Your Highness, I am only comparable to a fake infant, and my life span is only a thousand years."
"If you can't make further progress, you will eventually die of old age."
"Since I will die sooner or later, I might as well be more heroic and try to reach a higher level and see a more distant view. Even if I die completely, I will have no regrets."
"That's right." The Great Lord nodded, then stood up and said, "Come with me."
The two of them walked one after the other and soon arrived at an ancient holy pool spiritual building.
It was an ancient pool filled with mysterious and wild energy, filled with a very special light golden liquid and an extremely strong medicinal fragrance.
"The cultivation path of my Taihuang lineage is to cultivate with the energy of Xuanhuang. The spiritual liquid in this holy sacrificial pool is made by mixing the energy of Xuanhuang with a large amount of rare spiritual medicines."
"You need to discard your combat body, and then use the energy of Xuanhuang to rebuild your Taihuang body. Only then will it be possible to cultivate the Taihuang Saint Jue."
The Holy Lord of Taihuang spoke slowly and described the cultivation method of this lineage.
Ye Chongyun listened with some curiosity, and gradually understood the core of the Taihuang lineage's cultivation - the Xuanhuang Qi.
The so-called Xuanhuang Qi is an extremely special energy between heaven and earth, and is the primary form of Xuanhuang Qi.
The Xuanhuang Qi is something that only the legendary immortals and those who have reached the level of Lianxu can touch.
