Chapter 126 Clash of Nascent Souls, The Truth
Chapter 126 Clash of Nascent Souls, The Truth
In Xiaoqushanfang City.
Lin Li froze in place, looking around anxiously.
"Your senses are quite sharp, little treasure-devouring rat."
In an instant.
A young boy's voice rang in Lin Li's ears.
Geek!
At this moment, Lin Li's heart sank. The young man's voice had revealed his true form in the first instant.
It's clear that this was premeditated.
boom!
In the blink of an eye, a lifelike blue dragon appeared out of thin air a few steps in front of him. The dragon's scales were as big as bowls, and its body, which was more than ten feet long, coiled around Lin Li.
The ferocious dragon head opened its mouth and lunged at Lin Li.
A massive Core Formation Divine Sense enveloped him, and visible strands of thumb-sized water flowed across his body, binding him tightly like ropes, rendering him unable to move an inch.
This was the first time in his life that Lin Li had come so close to death.
Lin Li, whose cultivation was only at the mid-Foundation stage, was being pounced on at close range by a Core Formation stage cultivator. He was like a rabbit caught in a trap, while in front of him was a hungry wolf as big as a mountain.
Just then, a willow-leaf-shaped cyan rune appeared between Lin Li's eyebrows.
"You harmed my disciple! You're courting death!"
Yun Youzi's angry voice emanated from the runes, echoing like thunder.
From within the cyan runes, a wisp of cyan sword energy flew out, carrying with it a sword energy from the Nascent Soul stage.
In just an instant, all the ropes binding Lin Li's body shattered.
At the same time, that wisp of sword energy instantly shredded the blue dragon that pounced in front of him into dust.
Having regained his freedom, Lin Li immediately used his escape technique to try and flee the place.
"Who do I think I am?"
"So he's a rigid wanderer."
"I really have to thank him for raising this Treasure-Devouring Rat so well."
At this moment, Chi Jiao Jiang Yuan, the Nascent Soul stage ancestor of the Sea Demon Clan, was in his cave in Qianling Mountain. After sensing Yun Youzi's aura from the little treasure-devouring rat, he spoke with considerable disdain.
That Yun Youzi was just an austere cultivator from Wandao Lake, and his combat ability was only at the most ordinary level among those in the early Nascent Soul stage.
For Jiang Yuan, who is now at the peak of the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, this is nothing to fear.
From this perspective, it seems he's determined to get the Treasure-Swallowing Rat.
"go!"
Jiang Yuan unleashed his Sea-Suppressing Pearl, a magical artifact.
Inside the pearl are four Nascent Soul clones, each enhanced with their own Nascent Soul divine sense. Their cultivation is much stronger than that of a typical Core Formation Perfection cultivator, and their combat power below the Nascent Soul level is absolutely at the ceiling level.
However, other early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators can only separate two Nascent Soul consciousnesses at most to refine their clones.
But Jiang Yuan cultivates the path of divine sense.
Having reached the initial stage of perfect cultivation, his divine sense was already comparable to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. With the help of his water-spirit magic treasure, he could separate four Nascent Soul stage divine senses to guard the southeast, northwest, and northeast of the Black Dragon Mountain Range.
Through the magic treasure Zhenhai Pearl and his own innate divine power, he was able to bring a large area of the Black Dragon Mountain Range under his control.
By mobilizing his nascent soul clone, he could attempt to abduct the little treasure-devouring rat.
at the same time.
When Amo and Da Tuanzi, who had entered Xiaoqushan Market with Lin Li, saw the Core Formation stage blue dragon trapping their junior brother Jin, they were all shocked.
How could there be an ambush by a Core Formation stage cultivator?!
Senior Sister Lu and Senior Brother Ma have already investigated.
"not good!"
"Junior Brother Jin..."
Upon witnessing this perilous scene, Huo Yunxi hurriedly summoned a flying sword magic weapon, preparing to make her move.
A vast and boundless aura swept out from Lin Li's body, instantly shattering the blue dragon in the Core Formation stage.
Nascent Soul power!
"It's the protective magic of Uncle-Master Yun Youzi!"
Upon seeing this, Huo Yunxi finally relaxed.
Immediately afterwards, Huo Yunxi actually saw the clone of her Uncle Yun Youzi, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.
Huo Yunxi was well aware that each early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator could only create two Nascent Soul clones, and each time they split off their divine consciousness and refined it into clones, it required an extreme expenditure of mental energy.
Many Nascent Soul cultivators, in order to preserve their hopes of reaching the mid-Nascent Soul stage in the future, will at most only create a Nascent Soul clone for cultivation.
This junior brother Jin really holds a high position in the heart of Uncle Yun Youzi!
Upon arriving at the Black Dragon Mountain Range, it turned out that Uncle Yun Youzi's clone was secretly protecting them.
"Jiang Yuan, you old scoundrel!"
"A trapped, stinking mudfish dares to plot against the old Taoist disciple."
At this moment, a verdant vine grew from the ground and transformed into the appearance of a wandering cloud in a green robe.
At this moment, Yun Youzi's true form is rushing towards this place at an extremely fast speed.
At this time.
A streak of blue light swept down from the sky, and what came into view above Xiaoqushan Market was Jiang Yuan, dressed in a loose black robe, with the head of a dragon and the body of a human.
Jiang Yuan looked down at Yun Youzi's nascent soul clone on the ground.
Jiang Yuan looked down at Yun Youzi's nascent soul clone on the ground.
"Oh!"
"disciple?"
"ridiculous!"
"To put on such a pretentious act before me, with such hypocrisy, is utterly disgusting!"
Jiang Yuan's nascent soul clone sneered.
at the same time.
With the help of his innate supernatural perception, Jiang Yuan could clearly see that there were two Nascent Soul stage auras around him, heading towards this place without any concealment.
One of them is the Red Fang Old Monster.
The other is the flying sparrow with the bloodline of the Azure Phoenix on Azure Wave Island.
tricky!
There are simply too many Nascent Soul stage cultivators from the Southern Yue Kingdom in the Black Dragon Mountains these days.
I must act as soon as possible.
As soon as he finished speaking...
Just as Yun Youzi and Jiang Yuan were about to draw their swords.
At this moment, Lin Li, who had just flown away for only a few hundred feet, suddenly felt himself enveloped by a shadow, and his surroundings were plunged into a dark environment.
Lin Li suddenly looked up and saw a hideous ghost claw formed from black mist appear above his head.
A Nascent Soul stage divine sense completely sealed off his entire body.
"What good luck!"
"Treasure-devouring Rat".
"I'll gladly accept it."
Bang!
The ghost claw suddenly clenched, grabbing Lin Li before the black mist dissipated.
Lin Li's figure also disappeared along with it.
"Feng Yuan, you old devil!!"
At this moment, Yun Youzi watched through his clone as the mountain-like ghost claw that appeared out of nowhere snatched away his disciple, and his heart sank.
How could this be!
Feng Yuanlaogui is a ghost cultivator in the mid-Nascent Soul stage within the territory of Dongming Kingdom.
How did this old guy end up in the Black Dragon Mountains? And what a coincidence!
Could it be…
At this moment, Yun Youzi's eyes were filled with anger, but he also maintained a trace of calm.
If the sea monsters in the Black Dragon Mountains can collude with the Nascent Soul forces of the Eastern Sea Kingdom, then it will be quite difficult for the Southern Yue Alliance to completely devour the sea monsters of the Black Dragon Mountains.
The changes were too drastic.
"Feng Yuan..."
At this moment, Jiang Yuan, who was floating dozens of feet in the air, sensed the residual aura of the ghost claw, and a flash of anger appeared in his eyes.
This old ghost has quite a few grudges with his dragon clan.
Within the Ten Thousand Souls Banner held by the other side, there were also three Core Formation Dragon Souls from their Dragon Clan.
"Jiang Yuan, the old demon."
"If you do not hand over my disciple, I will surely slay a hundred of your clan's Core Formation dragons."
Yun Youzi's clone had already learned through his main body that Chi Ya and the Azure Phoenix of Bibo Island were rushing towards his location to provide assistance.
He felt a bit more confident.
"Oh!"
"I will not take the blame for this."
After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, he didn't linger, regardless of whether that old-fashioned guy believed him or not.
"However, that old ghost's ghost-escaping technique has become increasingly sophisticated."
"I couldn't even sense the slightest trace of their presence."
"When using escape techniques to leave, even if one takes a Foundation Establishment stage Treasure-Devouring Rat with them, it will still be done without anyone noticing."
"As expected of a top-tier, veteran mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator in the Eastern Sea Cultivation Kingdom."
Jiang Yuan was still quite wary of that old ghost, Feng Yuan, after all, the other party was a senior mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, and it was best for him, an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, not to provoke him.
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Yuan's nascent soul clone transformed into a wisp of blue light and disappeared into the horizon.
"Uncle-Master!"
"What should we do about Junior Brother Jin?"
At this moment, Huo Yunxi flew to the side of Yun Youzi, whose face was gloomy, and said with some concern in her tone.
Although I haven't known Junior Brother Jin for very long, we get along very well. But now Junior Brother Jin seems to have been kidnapped by an unknown Nascent Soul cultivator.
How can this be good?
"Once the matter in the Black Dragon Mountains is settled, my martial uncle will definitely go looking for my disciple."
Yun Youzi glanced at Huo Yunxi, who looked worried, and said in a calm tone, with a hint of loss in his eyes.
They said they were going to search for it.
But that old ghost Feng was a notorious monster in the Eastern Sea Kingdom, and a ruthless ghost cultivator. He wielded a Myriad Soul Banner and possessed a Soul Fusion Technique that allowed him to merge ten thousand souls into one.
This allows a soul servant at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm to be condensed, equivalent to two Nascent Soul cultivators.
In the cultivation world of Dongming and Nanyue, this old monster in the Nascent Soul stage was quite well-known.
Unless it's a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, that old ghost Feng Yuan wouldn't care at all.
"Master!"
"Will Junior Brother Jin...?"
At this moment, Amo and Da Tuanzi also came to their senses, calmed themselves down, and said with lingering fear.
There was also a hint of worry in his tone.
After all, it was quite obvious that the one who captured Junior Brother Jin was a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.
However, from the words of those Nascent Soul stage old monsters, they also knew that their junior brother Jin's true name was the Treasure-Devouring Rat.
No wonder it was able to devour the spiritual energy on the array and restrictions.
"Your junior brother Jin will not be in any danger."
After Yun Youzi finished speaking,
Its spiritual light dissipated, and a vine burrowed into the ground.
That old ghost, Feng Yuan, had only seen him once in the secret realm of Lingxu City.
Over the years, there has never been a single rumor about the other party.
There are even rumors that Feng Yuan, the old ghost, stumbled into a huge pit. While searching for treasure in a secret realm, he was unexpectedly severely injured by a Nascent Soul demon cultivator who was proficient in cultivation.
I don't know where he passed away peacefully.
This rumor is widespread, and coupled with the old ghost's mysterious whereabouts, no fellow cultivator has ever actually seen him.
This further facilitated the spread of this information.
"Treasure-devouring rat..."
After watching Uncle Yun Youzi disappear, Huo Yunxi's eyes seemed to be deep in thought.
...
...
At this moment, Lin Li once again felt the situation he experienced when he was put into a corpse bag during his first incarnation as a Yin Corpse.
It was pitch black all around.
If you reach out to touch it, you will only feel a cold, black wall.
The mana he possessed at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment was completely imprisoned.
He couldn't mobilize even a trace of his own magical power, and even his own divine soul power was restricted, unable to leave his body even a fraction.
I don't know how much time passed.
Lin Li felt a blur before his eyes, and his vision immediately became clear.
Before them stood an old Taoist priest in black robes, sitting cross-legged atop a cloud of black evil spirits. This old Taoist priest wore a brownish-yellow wooden ghost face mask.
Above the mask, a pair of dark green eyes stared at Lin Li.
The old Taoist in black robes did not conceal his aura. Although his aura was strong, he was at most only at the early stage of Core Formation.
camouflage!
It must be a disguise!
Lin Li was well aware of the other party's methods. The fact that he was able to escape safely from the hands of the other two Nascent Soul stage cultivators must mean that the other party was also an old Nascent Soul stage cultivator.
"Eh."
"My good disciple."
"From this day forward, you will no longer be the disciple of that wandering cloud."
"I have already removed all the restrictions that old man placed on your body."
"Wouldn't it be better to be my disciple?"
"What is the purpose of the wandering cloud traveler? I can tell you now."
"Take a look at the contents of this jade slip."
At this moment, looking at Lin Li, who was about eleven or twelve years old and dressed as a young Taoist boy in a blue robe, he finished speaking and took out a jade slip, which he then handed to Lin Li.
Lin Li was also quite curious about Yun Youzi's purpose.
However, it is most likely related to some kind of formation or restriction, such as ruins or secret realms.
Looking at the cyan jade slip floating in front of him, Lin Li probed into it with a wisp of his divine sense.
hum!
Many memories then appeared in his mind.
After a while.
Lin Li let out a long breath, finally understanding the intentions of Yun Youzi and Old Ancestor Chiya.
Lingxu City!
It is a mysterious realm located between the Eastern Sea and the Southern Yue.
Every time Lingxu City opens, it not only attracts Nascent Soul cultivators from the two great cultivation kingdoms of Nan Yue and Dong Ming, but also Nascent Soul cultivators from the nearby seas and the Star Sea.
Each token that grants entry into the secret realm of Lingxu City is extremely valuable.
However, every year, some tokens will randomly drop in various places in the two cultivation kingdoms within Lingxu City, allowing some destined cultivators to obtain them.
The city of Lingxu is divided into three checkpoints.
This jade slip contains some tips for the first two levels, and it also briefly records some of the autobiographical events of the Nascent Soul stage cultivator standing before Lin Li.
Fengyuan!
A mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
He has a record of severely injuring several Nascent Soul stage cultivators, and most importantly, he killed an early Nascent Soul stage cultivator.
"It's actually a ghost cultivator at the mid-Nascent Soul stage."
Lin Li looked surprised.
What Lin Li didn't expect was that Feng Yuan could so openly impose the burden on him.
"My good disciple."
"The third checkpoint in Lingxu City is the crucial place to obtain the treasure."
"My disciple, if you can help me retrieve a priceless treasure, I will grant you your freedom."
"And we'll also prepare a spirit item for you to use in your infant's formation. What do you think?"
Feng Yuan, surrounded by murderous aura, spoke with a smile.
