Chapter 125 Realizing the True Form, Kogureyama Market
Black Dragon Mountains.
deep.
The location of the fourth-order spiritual vein is Qianling Mountain.
This place was originally the training ground of a golden-haired lion in the Nascent Soul stage. However, after the lion was injured by the combined attacks of the two patriarchs of the sea monster clan, the Xuan Turtle and the Red Flood Dragon, it fled with severe injuries.
In this way, their sea monster clan finally had a place to settle down.
at this time.
Inside a spiritually rich cave halfway up the mountain.
The cave walls are adorned with purple crystals, and within the pools of water, there are lush spiritual herbs growing, making the water and wood elements in this place very active.
Now, Black Dragon Xuan Yan, who had just returned from Qingjiao Lake, knelt respectfully in the center of the empty cave, his hands supporting him on the ground, and carefully recounted everything he had seen in Qingjiao Lake.
"No need to rush."
"This day was bound to come eventually."
"I just didn't expect it to happen so quickly."
"Half of the clan members have already left the Black Dragon Mountains safely."
"The other Core Formation and Foundation Establishment sea monsters causing trouble below are nothing more than servants of our Flood Dragon Clan."
"It doesn't matter how many die."
"Those who are not of my dragon clan need not be of concern."
"This stop in the Black Dragon Mountains is just a temporary resting place."
"Now that several relocation sites have been selected, it is natural to divide them into several branches."
"Those old guys who emerged from the Sea of Stars will definitely lose their patience."
"Sooner or later, the Eastern Sea will descend into chaos."
"By then, we can settle old scores and grudges, and even gain some benefits from this chaos."
now,
A few steps away from Xuan Yan, a thin, frail old man with a dragon's head and a human body appeared out of thin air. He was slightly hunched over, wearing a loose black robe, and stood with his hands behind his back. He glanced at Xuan Yan, who was kneeling on the ground, and spoke in a calm tone.
"Half of the tribe has already migrated away!"
Xuan Yan looked quite surprised.
No wonder I felt that the dragon aura in Qianling Mountain had decreased a lot after I came out of seclusion. I originally thought that it had gone out to do a mission.
I didn't expect that we had left the Black Dragon Mountains.
"You were in seclusion before, so you may not have known."
"You can also choose to leave this place."
"Or perhaps they want to make a quick buck before they leave."
"It's all up to you."
"Go down."
The old dragon Jiang Yuan, dressed in black robes and standing with his hands behind his back, looked at Xuan Yan and seemed to sense the change in Xuan Yan's emotions. He then spoke.
"Your son takes his leave."
Xuan Yan stood up, bowed, and then walked out of the cave.
Standing still, Jiang Yuan watched Xuan Yan's departing figure, then took out a blue, glowing golden pill from his storage bag. He used his spiritual energy to swirl the pill and swallowed it.
Jiang Yuan is getting old.
He was already an old dragon whose lifespan was nearly three thousand years.
He has already outlived quite a few Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the human race. The number of Nascent Soul stage cultivators he knew who died before him is definitely in the double digits.
"Ancestor."
"Shall we leave now?"
"The humans of the Southern Yue Kingdom have already made their move to reach the Core Formation stage."
"They dare to be so arrogant and put this matter out in the open, which clearly shows that they don't care about the existence of the ancestor."
"The Nascent Soul cultivator of the human race from the Southern Yue Kingdom must have already infiltrated the Black Dragon Mountains."
At this moment, a pale blue ripple appeared in the pool half a step away from Jiang Yuan, and the head of a blue-haired human boy emerged from it. The head seemed to be made entirely of water.
It is an extremely rare enlightened water spirit.
Such intelligent creatures of heaven and earth possess extremely high innate talent. Generally speaking, as long as they can continue to grow, they can cultivate until they reach the peak of Core Formation.
However, its growth period is very long.
It takes anywhere from four or five thousand years to nearly eight thousand years for a person to reach the perfect Core Formation stage.
Now, this enlightened spirit has reached the early stage of Core Formation, and has a lifespan of at least five thousand years.
"Walk?"
"It's not the right time."
"Infiltrating the Black Dragon Mountains is a natural thing to do."
"There must be more than one of these Nascent Soul stage old guys from the Southern Yue Kingdom who came to the Black Dragon Mountains."
"A human Core Formation cultivator who can easily destroy the array nodes instantly killed a Core Formation stage demon general in a short time."
"These points are enough to prove that the person who took action must be a disciple of those Nascent Soul stage old monsters from the Southern Yue Kingdom."
"These old guys really cherish their disciples."
"Each of them is exceptionally talented. If two of them were to perish along the way, it would be absolutely unacceptable to those old monsters."
"However, the reason I am waiting here is that I can easily escape."
"It could even muddy the waters of the Southern Yue Kingdom."
"Only in this way will they not care about the other branches of our Jiaolong clan."
Jiang Yuan said calmly.
It's rare to gather so many Nascent Soul stage cultivators from the Southern Yue Kingdom; however, the more people there are, the more chaotic the competition will become.
It was originally in a market town near the sea.
Jiang Yuan obtained an extra token to enter Lingxu City. This token was intact and usable, thus securing him a spot to enter Lingxu City.
Notice.
The Lingxu City Secret Realm is truly the number one secret realm of the two countries, containing a vast array of magical artifacts.
There are also fourth-tier spiritual items.
However, what these Nascent Soul stage old monsters cared about most was the fourth-tier longevity pill.
One longevity pill is enough to allow them to live an extra hundred years.
Furthermore, the fourth-tier longevity pill can only be found in the secret realm of Lingxu City.
That is why each of these tokens for entering the Spirit Ruins City secret realm is extremely valuable.
He stayed here to attract the attention of those old guys, but his real purpose was to gather them together and throw out an entrance token for Lingxu City for them to snatch.
This way, the situation can be resolved.
It could even buy some time for the dragon clan that was migrating away.
"The aura of the Treasure-Devouring Rat's bloodline..."
"He's only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage."
"Could it be one of the three children of that mother spirit rat?"
"It should be correct, but to break through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage in just a few years, I wonder which fellow Daoist is behind this little spirit mouse..."
"Treasure-devouring Rat!"
"The restrictions of Lingxu City..."
"It should be right."
"You're so comfortable letting a Treasure-Devouring Rat, which you've only raised to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, wade into the muddy waters of the Black Dragon Mountains?"
"Before leaving, we must at least try to see if this little treasure-devouring rat possesses any protective techniques at the Nascent Soul stage!"
"If not, kidnap them. When we enter Lingxu City next time, wouldn't that be like adding wings to a tiger?"
Jiang Yuan cast a hand seal, and the active water-based spiritual energy in the cave gathered into a water curtain about ten feet wide half a step in front of him.
Above the water curtain, the image of a slightly blurry young Taoist boy appeared.
Jiang Yuan's innate divine ability is connected to mountains and rivers. If he wants, he can sense the location of human and demon cultivators in most of the Black Dragon Mountain Range.
However, if a cultivator at the same Nascent Soul stage has some means of concealment, it will be difficult to sense the other party's location if they are more than a hundred miles away.
"Ancestor, if we could capture that Treasure-Devouring Rat and raise it to the Core Formation stage, wouldn't it be much easier to break through those restrictions when we enter Spirit Ruins City next time?"
"We absolutely must get our hands on this little clever mouse!"
The blue-haired boy in the pool, with his head resembling a blue dragon, spoke excitedly through his pair of bright blue eyes.
...
...
now.
On the outskirts of the Black Dragon Mountains.
Nestled in a valley between four towering mountain ranges lies a third-tier market town called Xiaoqushan Market Town.
Not to mention the third-tier spiritual veins, there are two sea monsters at the early stage of Core Formation, and at least a dozen demons at the Foundation Establishment stage.
"Yes, this is the place."
"There is the aura of a Core Formation Spiritual Being in this small Qushan market."
"The tracking magic is definitely accurate."
"After we take down this Xiaoqushan market in one fell swoop, we'll find a few places in the Black Dragon Mountains to digest the spiritual items we've obtained before moving on to the next step."
Lu Jianyao spoke up.
"Junior Brother Jin."
"It's up to you to set up this restriction."
"The array and restrictions here are far inferior to the one in Fallen Immortal Valley."
"After Junior Brother Jin consumes some of the spiritual energy, if Fellow Daoist Ma and I work together, we will definitely be able to completely break this array's restrictions!"
Lu Jianyao turned around and glanced at Lin Li before speaking.
My master has already given me instructions.
If there are any restrictive formations or similar things, they should all be handed over to Junior Brother Jin to handle first.
Lu Jianyao kept this in mind, now it could be considered as giving this junior brother some practice.
"Yes, Senior Sister."
Lin Li nodded in response.
This is a good thing!
The spiritual energy on this restriction, after being absorbed by him, can eventually be transformed into his own spiritual energy.
However, Lin Li now seems to have a vague sense of something. His cheap master, Yun Youzi, arranged the formations and restrictions outside the market, from Fallen Immortal Valley to the current ones, all to make him familiar with the power of these restrictions.
Given his talent for devouring countless treasures, if he were to cultivate to the late stage of Core Formation...
If he uses his innate spells, his ability to break through restrictions is at least comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stages.
Swish!
As Lin Li flew out, a mysterious spirit-devouring rune appeared between his brows in the blink of an eye. A silver ray of light, full of spiritual energy, flew out and transformed into a lifelike silver python, which coiled around the array outside the Xiaoqushan market.
The silver dragon roared.
The roar, like muffled thunder, echoed endlessly in the mountains, its momentum astonishing.
"Junior Brother Jin's innate ability is actually to break through array restrictions."
"Junior brother can even break through a third-tier formation?"
At this moment, Huo Yunxi and the others saw that they had set up their stance, as if they were going to solve the third-order formation by themselves.
In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed.
at this time.
In Xiaoqushanfang City.
The two early-stage Core Formation sea demons stationed there sensed that the formation of their market was weakening and that two human cultivators of the same Core Formation stage were watching them intently from the outside.
Most importantly, the two Core Formation stage humans possessed powerful auras, making it difficult to discern their cultivation levels; they were suspected to be at least mid-Core Formation stage.
This is going to be difficult!
Seeing that nearly 20% of the spiritual energy on the array barrier had been absorbed, the two octopus sea monsters panicked.
They continuously sent out talismans seeking help.
To date, not a single talisman has received a response.
With the array's restrictions broken, one of the two Core Formation stage sea demons will likely perish here.
A few more moments passed.
Lin Li sensed that his dantian was filled; at this moment, he was already stuffed.
"Junior Brother Jin, you should rest here for a while."
"Now it's up to me and Fellow Daoist Ma."
Lu Jianyao was already beyond her expectations that her junior brother Jin Dou could absorb so much restrictive spiritual energy.
The next moment, Lu Jianyao and Ma Chi, along with the other Core Formation stage cultivators, jointly unleashed their natal magic weapons.
A feather fan covered in five-colored true fire suddenly grew larger from behind Lu Jianyao, eventually becoming a giant fan over ten feet in size.
boom!
Lu Jianyao unleashed his hand seals.
In an instant, the five-colored true fire on the feather fan poured out like water bursting its banks, rolling towards the third-level restriction.
At this moment, the sea monsters in Xiaoqushan Market were all staring in terror at the colorful sea of fire outside the market's formation. The visual impact of the sea of fire and the oppressive force that seemed to penetrate into the formation were overwhelming.
These are much more imposing than the silver dragons that previously hovered outside the market formation.
Just a moment later.
The array's restrictions were already on the verge of collapse.
Just before the barrier was broken, the two early-stage Core Formation octopus sea monsters realized that there was no possibility of other Core Formation sea monsters coming to their aid. As the formation collapsed, they each fled in two different directions.
"Let's each pursue one."
"The rest of the Foundation Establishment stage spiritual cultivation in the market is up to you."
Ma Chi finished speaking.
He took out the Rainbow Transformation Talisman and chased after the octopus sea monster on the left that seemed to have a slightly weaker aura.
"it is good."
"This Core Formation stage octopus sea monster is a good thing, a Core Formation stage seafood."
"We want to try it."
As soon as Lu Jianyao finished speaking, he summoned Xiao Mei from his spirit pet pouch. Xiao Mei flew onto his back and transformed into a streak of light, only slightly slower than the Rainbow Transformation Talisman, heading towards another Core Formation stage octopus sea monster.
"Junior Brother Jin."
"You go first..."
Then, before Huo Yunxi could speak, he stopped.
Lin Li, A Mo, and the other two transformed into streaks of light and headed straight for the Xiaoqushan Market.
As soon as Lin Li entered the Xiaoqushan Market, he controlled a second-tier flying sword magic weapon and used the Soul-Suppressing Seal technique to stun a Foundation Establishment stage sea monster. Then, with a flash of azure light, the flying sword easily chopped off the sea monster's head.
At the same time, Lin Li used the jade slip he carried to absorb the soul power from that Foundation Establishment sea monster.
It served as a boost to the rankings.
A wisp of divine sense fell into the Zhenhai Ranking within the jade slip. Among their group, only Lu Jianyao was present, and he had entered the thirty-fourth position.
And just a short while ago, it was ranked twenty-fourth.
In just a few hours, they have fallen so many places.
This clearly shows that cultivators from many other sects must have made their move in the Black Dragon Mountains.
Just now.
Lin Li immediately sensed something was wrong, feeling uneasy as if something was about to happen.
This sudden whim made him somewhat uneasy.
