"What a joke! You said it doesn't matter, so it has nothing to do with you?"
Ye Linyuan sneered, but his hands did not stop moving, and the rain of swords continued.
True Lord Qingxuan was so frightened that his scalp went numb. He quickly activated the formation to resist and said, "I hope you can see clearly. This matter has nothing to do with my lineage."
Knowing that words alone were useless, True Lord Qingxuan spoke again: "I am willing to take out the treasure to make amends and repay the karma of the past."
Ye Linyuan's brows slightly moved when he heard this, then he temporarily stopped and put away his murderous intent.
After all, in the previous two wars, True Lord Qingxuan did not take any action from beginning to end, and at most it could be considered a crime of lax discipline.
Moreover, True Lord Qingxuan probably couldn't control True Lord Taiyuan's cultivation level, not to mention that True Lord Qingxuan had been in deep sleep for most of these years.
In this case, if Ye Linyuan killed all the people in Qingyuan Palace, it would also cause some trouble and criticism.
After all, a highly aggressive overlord in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul is often more likely to arouse the fear of major forces.
Ye Linyuan in this life is different from his previous life. As a spiritual plant husband close to the upper fourth level and a fourth-level mid-level alchemist, he does not need to frequently wage wars to obtain resources.
If he could take this opportunity to make the major outside forces change their views of him, it might be a beneficial thing in the long run.
Of course, although he decided to let Qingyuan Palace go, Ye Linyuan would not come here in vain. He looked at Qingxuan Zhenjun with a slight movement in his eyes, waiting for his next move.
When True Lord Qingxuan saw that he did not take any action, he was overjoyed and took out a batch of rare treasures, including a batch of spiritual objects for forming infants and two fourth-grade low-quality treasures.
"As long as you can let us go, all these treasures can be given to you."
Ye Linyuan took a look, then shook his head and said, "Not enough."
Upon hearing this, True Lord Qingxuan's expression changed slightly, and he remembered the legendary vengeful character of Ye Linyuan. He gritted his teeth and took out his own natal magic treasure, wanting to raise the price to gain Ye Linyuan's forgiveness.
But at this moment, Ye Linyuan suddenly said calmly: "These treasures are valuable to you, but to me, they are just icing on the cake."
"If you can promise me one thing, I can give up these treasures."
Upon hearing this, True Lord Qingxuan immediately revealed a look of surprise and quickly said, "Please tell me, Your Excellency."
Ye Linyuan raised his lips and said calmly: "I want you to swear a Taoist oath. If a war comes one day, you will personally help me take off the head of Master Taiyuan."
"This……"
Upon hearing this, True Lord Qingxuan's expression suddenly changed.
Taiyuan Zhenjun was very powerful and co-founded Qingyuan Palace with him. They were also close friends in their early years. But now they were facing life and death, which made it difficult for him to start.
Seeing this, Ye Linyuan calmly said, "When he abandoned you and left alone, he didn't care about your friendship."
Upon hearing this, True Lord Qingxuan immediately revealed a bitter smile, but he stood up and bowed, saying, "I'll do my best."
Ye Linyuan nodded, and after the other party made a Taoist oath, he stood up and left Qingyuan Palace.
As a price, Ye Linyuan also took away the two Nascent Soul seeds of Qingyuan Palace and prepared to send them back to Chilong Mountain as protons.
After leaving Qingyuan Palace, Ye Linyuan went to two Nascent Soul training grounds, which belonged to the forces behind True Lord Lei Yan and True Lord Liehuo.
Both of them came from Nascent Soul sects and families, but their strength was very ordinary. Therefore, after their demise, these two major forces did not dare to cause trouble for Ye Linyuan.
This time Ye Linyuan visited in person. The two major forces did not dare to interfere in the fight between these mid-Nascent Soul overlords, but they offered a sum of resources to resolve the grudge.
This visit will be of great benefit to both parties.
For Ye Linyuan, it would be a great opportunity to obtain some resources to prevent these major forces from being used by his enemies in the future.
For the three major forces, taking this opportunity to resolve the grievances with Ye Linyuan is the best choice.
After all, even if they cooperated with the Yang family and Jinlian Zhenjun, in the confrontation between the overlords of the middle Nascent Soul stage, they, who were in the early Nascent Soul stage, would most likely be just cannon fodder.
In the previous battle, those who died were all in the early Nascent Soul stage such as Lei Yan and Liehuo, while those in the middle Nascent Soul stage basically managed to escape successfully.
"After this matter is settled, we will arrange for Lingxi and the others to break through, and then settle old scores with the enemies in Chixiazhou."
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart. He didn't plan to stay in Chixiazhou for too long.
After all, the situation in the eastern region of Cangling Sea has gradually deteriorated. If he doesn't go out to change the battlefield situation, I'm afraid most of the entire eastern region will be lost.
Even if he successfully returns to Cangling Sea at that time, he will be besieged by the six dragon palaces, which will be no small trouble.
The six dragon palaces are already quite powerful. Once the human race is completely defeated, the demon race will surely increase in strength after annexing various sacred mountains and resources. At that time, Ye Linyuan will most likely face siege from a large number of Nascent Soul dragons.
If Ye Linyuan was forced to reveal his full strength at that time, it would inevitably arouse the fear of his fellow practitioners, and might even cause them to kill Ye Linyuan prematurely.
Therefore, Ye Linyuan must choose a good time, a time to turn the tide of the battle and maintain a relatively balanced combat power between the two sides, preferably without exposing his full strength.
"This opportunity only lasts for another sixty years at most."
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart, then withdrew all his thoughts and calmly returned to Chilong Mountain.
After returning to Chilong Mountain, Ye Linyuan gathered Shucan, Cangyuebei, Zhou Yuwan and Chu Lingxi, and arranged for them to go into seclusion in Chilong Mountain and Jinyuan Ridge one after another to break through the Nascent Soul stage.
Ye Linyuan himself began to retreat to refine the Sword Intent Fruit. At the barter conference nearly a hundred years ago, Ye Linyuan traded for a bag of fourth-level Sword Intent Fruit seeds.
Today, this batch of sword intent fruits have been promoted to the fourth level. Ye Linyuan picked a few of them that had exhausted their potential, preparing to take this opportunity to comprehend the ten great sword techniques.
Now, in addition to the Wanhua Sword Technique, Ye Linyuan has also practiced the Ten Great Sword Techniques. The potential of these sword techniques can at least reach the fourth level of perfection.
To date, among his ten great sword techniques, the three major sword techniques of Xuan Yue, Xi Ri and Cang Xu have already reached the fourth-grade lower level.
The other seven sword techniques all stopped at the realm of great supernatural powers. The reason why he did not break through to the fourth level was mainly because he did not focus his energy on these sword techniques.
According to Ye Linyuan's own estimation, if he were to comprehend these sword techniques, it would take about twenty years to cultivate one to the level of great supernatural power, which would take a total of more than a hundred years.
His energy was limited, and most of his time was spent on perfecting his core magical powers such as spiritual plant techniques, alchemy techniques, and the Wanhua Sword Technique, so he neglected the practice of the seven sword techniques.
Fortunately, with the help of the Sword Intent Fruit, the time it takes him to comprehend the seven great sword techniques can be greatly shortened.
At this time, Ye Linyuan refined the fourth-level sword fruit, and with the help of the sword essence in it, he comprehended the seven great sword techniques, and his cultivation began to advance by leaps and bounds. In just three months, he cultivated one of the human king sword techniques to the realm of great supernatural power. After that, almost every three months, he could cultivate a new great supernatural power. In just less than two years, Ye Linyuan's ten great sword techniques all reached the fourth-level lower level.
"The Ten Great Sword Techniques have all reached the realm of great magical powers. My strength has improved a lot."
Ye Linyuan whispered slowly in his heart and couldn't help but smile.
Although this time he consumed seven extremely valuable fourth-level sword fruits, it also greatly improved his strength.
Now he has mastered ten kinds of sword skills, each of which possesses extraordinary combat power.
With the support of these ten great sword skills, the power of the Wanhua Sword Art has reached a new level. It can be said that its attack power has initially entered the late Nascent Soul stage.
In the past, after Ye Linyuan performed the Wanhua Sword Technique, his combat power was probably at the level of an ordinary mid-Nascent Soul stage. The reason why he could have a strength close to that of a Nascent Soul Queen was that 80% of the credit came from the Lingbao Xuanyuan Zhenhai Flag.
Now that he has mastered the ten great sword techniques, the combat power burst out by the Wanhua Sword Technique alone may be considered to be at the top middle Nascent Soul stage.
"The overall combat power has increased, making up for the shortcomings of the slightly insufficient attack methods. However, I am afraid that it is still a little insufficient to fully possess the combat power of the late Nascent Soul stage."
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart, now his attack power, defense power, and recovery ability should be barely at the late Nascent Soul stage, but the late Nascent Soul stage powerhouses are more comprehensive.
Whether it is speed, mana quality, or the difference in realm, he is still a little weaker than the late Nascent Soul stage.
Therefore, he still cannot say that he can face off against the late Nascent Soul stage head-on.
However, with his current strength, if a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage wants to take him down, he will probably have to use some trump cards or even pay a considerable price.
"It's still because my realm is not high enough. Once I break through to the middle stage of Nascent Soul, it will surely be much better."
Ye Linyuan's mind was floating, and then he gathered all the thoughts.
Then he got up and came out of seclusion, only to see thunder and lightning gathering from the sky. A pink-faced little girl looked up at the sky with a nervous face, and sacrificed a piece of armor to fight against the nine-day thunder.
"Water Silkworm, did you successfully form a baby?"
Ye Linyuan whispered, a hint of solemnity appearing on his face.
As a descendant of the Royal Blood True Spirit and a spiritual insect with a relatively small bottleneck, it is normal for the water silkworm to be able to break through.
However, its combat power is too weak. Even though it has broken through the Nascent Soul stage, its strength is only at the False Infant stage.
Moreover, he is at the bottom level among the fake babies. An ordinary fake baby can beat two of him, and a top fake baby can beat four of him.
If it were a normal Yuanying in the early stage, it wouldn’t even take more than three or five moves to kill her.
With such weak strength, normally the possibility of surviving the thunder tribulation is almost zero.
However, Shuican was well prepared. Ye Linyuan prepared for him the Golden Elixir for Repelling Disasters, the Purple Sky Mysterious Thunder Armor, the Ancient Heavenly Thunder Jade, and several disposable spiritual objects for overcoming disasters.
With such a rare treasure, it is more than enough to cultivate two Heavenly Dao Nascent Souls, so it is natural that he will be able to break through.
As expected, after the eighteenth thunder tribulation had completely fallen, the water silkworm relied on the ancient heavenly thunder jade to withstand the attack, and finally survived it with almost no serious injuries.
As for the inner demon tribulation that follows, it is also extremely weak. The water silkworm has a simple mind and its intelligence is only equivalent to that of a seven or eight-year-old child. Instead, it will not be taken advantage of by the inner demon.
"Meet the clan leader and master."
After successfully surviving the thunder tribulation, the water silkworm slowly landed and saluted Ye Linyuan and Chu Lingxi with some surprise.
Ye Linyuan nodded and couldn't help but smile.
After surviving the thunder tribulation this time, the water silkworm's cultivation has reached the Nascent Soul stage, and it will be able to produce large quantities of fourth-level spiritual silk in the future.
This is a very rare treasure for Ye Linyuan.
The fourth-level spiritual silk can help upgrade Ye Linyuan's core magic weapon, the Xuanyuan Zhenhai Flag. His Xuanyuan Zhenhai Flag is already a lower-grade spiritual treasure, and the power of the formation it forms is even stronger than that of a higher-grade spiritual treasure.
However, after being promoted to a spiritual treasure, the promotion speed was quite slow, mainly because Ye Linyuan's magic power was still insufficient and there were no suitable rare treasures to add to its nourishment.
If there were a large amount of fourth-order spiritual silk in the future, it could be melted down into its original source and integrated into the Xuanyuan Zhenhai Flag, which would surely increase the speed of the Xuanyuan Zhenhai Flag's promotion.
I dare not say that it can be promoted to the fourth-grade upper grade, but with the supply of a large amount of spiritual silk, Ye Linyuan is confident that he can upgrade it to a set of fourth-grade middle-grade Xuanyuan Zhenhai Flags within ten sixty years.
In addition to upgrading the Xuanyuan Zhenhai Flag, the excess spiritual silk can also be used to refine robes and fourth-order formation flags.
Needless to say, the fourth-level formation flag is the core formation tool for arranging and strengthening the fourth-level formation, and it is also the key item for building spiritual buildings.
As for the fourth-tier robes, they are protective items with extraordinary defensive power. Their effect is almost comparable to that of a fourth-tier defensive magic treasure, and the mana consumption is still extremely low.
However, the biggest disadvantage of refining robes is that it consumes too many materials.
A fourth-level low-grade robe consumes at least thirty-six pieces of fourth-level spiritual silk. This is a rare treasure of the fourth level.
Even though the value of the spiritual silk is relatively low among the fourth-tier treasures, the added value is still staggering. Even a giant in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul may not be able to come up with so much.
It is precisely because of this that in the ancient world of Haotian today, those who are qualified to wear the fourth-level robes are basically giants in the late Nascent Soul stage, or they are direct disciples of giant-level forces.
“Although the water silkworms are extremely weak in combat, they are very fast at cultivating spiritual silk.”
"Every three years, it can produce a portion of fourth-grade lower-quality spiritual silk. In one hundred and eight years, it can produce a portion of fourth-grade robes."
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart, one hundred and eight years was enough to produce a fourth-level robe, this output was quite astonishing.
Thinking of this, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but look at the water silkworm and said, "Yes, I hope that one day you can transform into a true spirit of heaven and earth."
"Go consolidate your cultivation first. I have something to discuss with your master."
The water silkworm nodded, then stood up and left.
Seeing this, Ye Linyuan looked at Shui Hanqing and others nearby, and found that Chu Lingxi and Zhou Yuwan had already broken through the Nascent Soul stage.
It turned out that in the past few years, Cangyuebei, Zhou Yuwan, and Chu Lingxi had all formed infants one after another, and this water silkworm was the last one to break through.
At this time, Ye Linyuan looked at everyone, and then said: "Since you have made a breakthrough, I am ready to waste no more time and settle old scores with the enemies of Chixiazhou." (End of this chapter)
