Evil Emperor Zun

Chapter 685 Unable to wait for salvation
Immersed in continuous cultivation, Ye Shuo didn't know how long time had passed.One day, ten days, or a month, it doesn't make much difference to the current state.

With the release of his spiritual power, a surge of energy waves formed around his body, and the light on the stone wall continued to blaze. Every ancient character seemed to come alive, floating slowly like water ripples.A dark blue light poured down, and at the same time, there was also a quiet aura in his body, surging up and down as if echoing it from afar.

Su Yi's figure sits cross-legged safely, two completely different energies are merging with each other, but they collide with each other, forming a clear dividing line.From the top of the head to the upper body, it is shrouded in a layer of faint blue vortex, like a glass cover under the head; and from the waist to the sitting position, there is a clump of pale white flames, like a spinning machine. lotus platform.

As the blue light continues to expand, the flames burn more and more intensely. At first, it seems that fire and water are incompatible, but after careful induction, the fluctuations of the two groups of breaths are infinitely cooperating, absorbing the essence of the other party, and nourishing themselves.Now, viewed from the outside, the gloomy light and the white flame are vaguely connected into a line.

Ye Shuo slowly opened his eyes when the two groups of energies were completely merged into one.

"Speaking of which, it's really strange."

Staring at the stone wall, but couldn't find the answer from the flashing words for a long time, Ye Shuo had to turn his eyes away again, "When I was cultivating here, I had the feeling that I had become the true god of heaven and earth, as if everyone was Cheers and worships me...Qing Xiangxiong, don't laugh at me, I don't know why this happened..."

Qing Xiangxiong's voice sounded slowly: "According to what you said, it should be the power of faith. When spiritual practitioners practice, if they can bathe in the power of faith, it will be of great benefit to themselves. That's why There are so many people who take the initiative to start a sect, just to gain more believers. But why so many powers of faith are gathered here... What's even more strange is that faith can only act on individuals, and I have never heard of it Absorbing the power of faith from others, is it because of your hodgepodge physique?"

"You ask me, who should I ask." Ye Shuo helplessly supported his forehead, "Qing Xiangxiong, I found that your knowledge is half as good as your predictive ability."

Sighing, he was about to re-enter the cultivation state when he suddenly felt a tremor in the storage ring, and then with a "whoosh", a scroll flew out automatically, and the scroll surface spread out, suspended in mid-air.The stone wall shone with light again, this time Ye Shuo could see it clearly, the words on the wall cast phantom shadows, as if they were about to fly away from the wall, and the scroll kept fluttering, and the spiritual runes above seemed to be flying Being rewritten rapidly by people, everything from shape to arrangement is constantly changing.

Ye Shuo didn't know whether this change was good or bad, and he didn't know whether he should stop it. To be honest, at this moment, he was completely shocked by this scene and forgot to take any action.It wasn't until the entire scroll was "updated" several times that the light and shadow on the scroll gradually dimmed, and it turned into a long flat scroll again, which fell lightly to the ground.

Ye Shuo sat on the spot, dazed for a while, and then saved himself to pick up the scroll.After reading it again, although he still didn't know a single word, he could vaguely feel that the sense of oppression exuded by the scroll was several times higher than when he first got it...

"Hey, master, are you lucky?" Qing Xiangxiong exclaimed in surprise, "This cloud-swallowing level secret technique... Although I don't know why, it has been automatically upgraded to Xuantian level just now! And even among Xuantian-level secret techniques, they are definitely high-end ones, just a few blocks away from ordinary secret techniques!"

Although Ye Shuo had some speculation just now, he was still very pleasantly surprised after getting Qing Xiangxiong's confirmation.

He had long felt that an ancient inheritance that had been handed down since the founding of the Fushimen, and that no one could break for hundreds of years, should not be at the level of swallowing clouds.From this point of view, the content of the scroll was half sealed, and only when you come to this stone wall can you get the key to completely unseal it.That mighty person made this second-hand preparation, which can be regarded as another test for the inheritor.

"However, why did this happen? Does that senior have anything to do with this ancient tomb of the Rage God?" Ye Shuo scratched his scalp in confusion, "Besides, the scroll didn't mention any information about the ancient tomb of the Rage God. Master Shen and the others obviously don’t know either, if I hadn’t come here by accident, wouldn’t I have never had the chance to break the seal?”

"Ahem, don't think too much, and don't be happy too early." Qing Xiangxiong responded, "Although this secret method has become more advanced, but master, you couldn't even practice the secret method of swallowing clouds, and now it has been upgraded. , your comprehension hasn't been upgraded yet, alas—" Qing Xiangxiong spread his hands and replaced what he hadn't finished speaking.

Since Shen Xinglie left, Qing Xiangxiong's mouth has become more and more unforgiving.Although its reminder was indeed like a basin of cold water, Ye Shuo was still very excited as he held the Xuantian-level secret method tightly in his hand.

This one, plus the one given to him by his master in the Xuantian Sect earlier, so that he has two copies of Xuantian-level secret methods, even if he is a disciple of those big sects, it is nothing more than that.With enough resources at hand, the next step is to see if he has enough ability to transform them into his own strength...

Closing his eyes, Ye Shuo once again sank into the state of cultivation, and time passed quietly by him again inadvertently.

When he was treating the girl who was infected with cold poison in the town, Ye Shuo condensed the cold air absorbed from her body into a most yin bead.Now in this extremely yin place, when Ye Shuo was tirelessly absorbing the yin energy from all around him, the yin beads that had been suppressed in his body earlier began to slowly rotate.

Strands of Yin Qi continuously leaked out of it, and after being devoured by the host, drops of extremely cold liquid gradually oozed out from the Yin Pearl.Every drop contained the purest Yin Qi. At first Ye Shuo's soul trembled slightly, but soon he got used to the chill, and his desire for new Yin Qi became more urgent.

In this way, the size of the Yin Bead shrunk rapidly, and in the end it completely melted.The cold liquid flowing all around, accompanied by bursts of bone-eroding cold air, also spread silently in this sea of ​​soul consciousness...

……

One morning several months later, Ye Shuo quietly opened his eyes.

"Hey, Qing Xiangxiong, wake up, I feel like I'm about to break through the bottleneck!"

The yin beads in his body, as well as all the yin qi that can be absorbed in this ancient tomb, have been completely collected by him. Based on a simple induction, his current strength should be at the fifth stage of qi cultivation.

Although it is only two small levels, it is not a big improvement compared to the "jumping advancement" he is used to, but as long as he breaks through the most difficult bottleneck, at the same time, he will accumulate a large amount of stored energy in his body , when the next promotion is due to the accumulated accumulation, there is every chance to be promoted to the gasification level in one fell swoop!
Ye Shuo couldn't wait to find someone to share his joy once the long-term depression was gone.

Qing Xiangxiong lazily turned over in his soul: "Oh, it's about to break through, so that means it hasn't broken through yet?"

Sighing solemnly, Qing Xiangxiong immediately rolled over again, "Master, your aptitude is really bad enough. Up to now, even I have been promoted to several ranks even after I got your light. , you haven't broken through the bottleneck yet?"

"Since you've got the honor, stop making sarcastic remarks!" Ye Shuo's face was darkened, "However, although I haven't made a breakthrough yet, the benefits of practicing here are very obvious to me. The yin energy in my body seems to have disappeared reached saturation."

"So next, it's time to go all out to find Yang Qi?" Qing Xiangxiong said quickly.

Ye Shuo nodded, stood up and stretched vigorously.Walking to the side wall, he pushed a stone brick towards the inside. After a while, there was a heavy sound of the secret door opening, and a ray of light followed.

After staying in this dark place for so long, feeling the natural light again, Ye Shuo became more cordial.The next goal is clear, and his journey is about to start again!

The high-spirited youth quickly disappeared at the end of the secret door.Where he sat cross-legged before, the stone wall still exuded a faint light.

And under the stone wall, in the more distant underground, there is a real mass burial pit.A large number of skeletons piled up scatteredly, and everything visible was filled with a deep breath of death.

There are a few white bones stacked in the corner, passively holding up a skull, with two dark eye sockets, as if looking up at the free world.Everything in the world is absorbed into it, but what is left is nothing but emptiness, complete emptiness.

Someone came and someone left, they didn't know it, their time had stagnated.The flesh and bones have long been air-dried and turned into underground dust, and those who still remember them are also buried underground one by one.But even if the proof of existence has completely rotted, they are still waiting, waiting for the salvation that is still alive...

***
Jiuyou Hall.

Holding a wine bottle in his hand, Mu Hansha staggered along the corridors. Every time he walked, he raised his head high and took a big sip of wine. The envoys of Jiuyou who passed by had also looked sideways at him many times.

Until the bottle was empty, Mu Hansha counted down several times to confirm that it could not pour out any more wine, and then he threw the bottle to the ground viciously.Looking at the fragments all over the ground, he raised his hand and was about to smash the jade slips in the other hand down at the same time, but after several times of gestures, he finally lowered his hand and leaned against the wall without strength. Live the bleak heartbreak.

About half an hour later, Mu Hansha, who came to the room of the Nine Venerables to see him, had already changed into clean clothes, and his long hair was combed neatly. Except for the lingering haze in his eyes, he looked no longer with any exceptions.

"Nine Venerables." Mu Hansha saluted respectfully.After Chu Tianyao signaled him to get up, Mu Hansha's eyes flickered for a moment, and he fell to his knees immediately.

"Thanks to the appreciation of the Nine Venerables, but the subordinates are not enough to bear this kind of love. Can I ask the Nine Venerables to transfer my recommendation to another person? This is his information..." He took out the jade that he had prepared. Jane, holding her hands high above her head.

Chu Tianyao just glanced at him lightly, but didn't reach out to pick it up: "Is this your 'must do' again?"

Mu Hansha was slightly taken aback, but Chu Tianyao continued: "The recommendation quota is not so casual. If the person you recommend is a mediocre person, in the future, in front of the master of Tiangong, we will smash our Jiuyou Palace." Shop sign……"

Mu Hansha hurriedly said: "No, he is a talent, definitely a talent, you can assess him alone..."

"Enough." Chu Tianyao suddenly interrupted in a deep voice.Mu Hansha's heart shuddered, and even the words of pleading got stuck in his mouth.

"I don't understand why you want to live for others wholeheartedly, but this is your business, and I won't get involved. As for who to recommend, that's my business."

After all, Chu Tianyao stopped talking and walked past him.Mu Hansha knelt down on the ground, looking at the hem of his clothes that had been dragged all the way, with infinite sadness on his face.

Then, in another secret room in the temple.

Mu Hansha put a tray full of various side dishes on the coffee table, then picked up a cup of hot tea from it, and carefully held it to the old man in the dry chair.

The old man took the teacup, took a sip, and nodded in praise: "Well, Hansha, you are always so worry-free when you do things. Keep working hard, the future venerable, There must be a seat for you."

Mu Hansha lowered his head and said in a respectful voice: "This subordinate does not want to be a venerable. If it weren't for the strong support of the seven venerables, there would be no subordinate today. You have rebuilt your subordinate with kindness, and this subordinate only wishes to always follow you by your side, be faithful.”

That old man is none other than the Seven Venerables of Jiuyou Hall.Different from the greed of the eight lords, the gentleness of the nine lords, and the domineering spirit of the great lord, he seems to be just an old man who has nothing to do with the world.At this moment, he just smiled lightly: "Hehe, the words are nice to hear, but I don't want such a self-motivated subordinate?"

Mu Hansha's expression froze, but the Seven Venerables didn't seem to care, turned his eyes to the trays on several sides, and soon showed a transparent smile, "Today's dishes seem to be richer than usual. What, do you have something to ask me, kid?"

Mu Hansha immediately fell to his knees: "The seven venerables are clear lessons. This subordinate wants to ask the seven venerables for a recommendation." He took out a gold lacquer box from his sleeve, placed it on several sides, and lifted the lid. The magic crystals placed in rows are shining brilliantly.

"Here is a small amount of my savings for many years. If there is any remaining quota for the public sale, I implore the help of the Seven Venerables. This subordinate is not asking for this quota for myself..." At the same time, he reached into his arms and wanted to put the jade slip in The information of the seven venerables has been reviewed.

The Seven Venerables waved their hands, stopped his movements, and said with a frown: "This time, the master of the palace has been entrusted to Lao Jiu to take full responsibility. As for the quota of sales, Lao Ba still has a few in his hand. Why don't you ask them?"

Mu Hansha moved his lips just now, but after thinking about it for a while, he was wrong to say anything about the conflict of interests involved.Finally, he fell silent, staring at the various delicacies in front of him, but felt a pain in his throat.
