Lord of the night.

Chapter 1401 The Dragon God Has Appeared!
Xue Fuxiao grabbed a handful, about twenty or thirty pieces, weighed them in her hand, and said, "If you're not eating enough, you have to increase the quantity. How about trying these?"

Duan Xiyang stared intently at the crystal core in Xue Fuxiao's hand, his eyelids twitching as he said, "Isn't that a bit much? Are you sure you can handle that?"

Xue Fuxiao said, "Are you stupid? If you can't finish it in one bite, can't you divide it into three bites?"

Duan Xiyang nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. I've been thinking about this too. These demonic beasts, when they're fighting, clearly feel like they have flesh and blood; but after they're killed, they immediately turn into a crystal core, which is rather strange. And the energy inside must be powerful. But it's such a pity that you and I can't use or absorb it. If we could eat more of them at once and feel something, I think it would definitely be beneficial to our martial arts."

Xue Fuxiao said, "That's right. That's what I was thinking too. Didn't you eat three before?"

Duan Xiyang's eyelids twitched again, and he said, "Yes, the three are extremely faint."

Xue Fuxiao said solemnly, "Then you should eat ten at once this time. Try it again. After all, you have experience now. If it works, you can immediately understand the secret. In this way, we will both benefit, and I will benefit from your help."

Duan Xiyang frowned and asked, "Why aren't you eating?"

Xue Fuxiao said, "You've already eaten three and tested it the first time. If I were to use my body to feel it the second time, the two of us might not be able to match our feelings. Wouldn't that be pointless? If it works but isn't enough, I'd have to swallow fifty or even more in one go."

Duan Xiyang pondered, vaguely sensing something was wrong. Could this simpleton be playing a trick on me?
But upon closer reflection, Xue Fuxiao's words made sense. If she didn't eat it, Xue Fuxiao certainly wouldn't eat it either.

Since we've already eaten it once, and Xue Fuxiao doesn't know the truth, what's the big deal about eating it again?
Anyway, I have to coax Xue Fuxiao into eating it at least once!
Without batting an eye, he grabbed a handful of twelve from beside him and said, "You're right, I'll try again."

"it is good!"

Xue Fuxiao said, "If you feel anything, or if it's not right or poisonous, just spit it out immediately."

Duan Xiyang said, "Okay."

He tilted his head back and swallowed a handful.

He closed his eyes and pretended to practice his internal energy, saying, "Huh? It really works. The collision between them is actually... You should try it yourself. This feeling is amazing."

Xue Fuxiao shook her head and said, "I won't eat!"

Duan Xiyang suddenly looked up, her eyes wide with disbelief: "You're not going to eat?"

"Yes! I won't eat it!"

Xue Fuxiao said, "I want to wait until you force the crystal core out of your body to see how the spiritual energy impacted your stomach and do a complete survey."

"What kind of survey?" Duan Xiyang sensed something was wrong.

"Just wanted to investigate... Brother Duan, why were you touching your butt all the time these past few days?"

Xue Fuxiao grinned mischievously, then suddenly burst out laughing: "Hahahaha... Brother Duan, is it delicious?"

"!!"

Duan Xiyang was completely stunned, and then suddenly exploded!

confirmed!
I have been tricked!

And the person who tricked me was actually Xue Fuxiao!
Duan Xiyang wasn't against being tricked. Although he had made rapid progress in martial arts, he was definitely not as clever as Dongfang San or Yan Nan.

But he couldn't accept that the person who tricked him was Xue Hanhan!

What a shame!
"Snow Flute!"

Duan Xiyang transformed into a vengeful ghost, his eyes blazing with ghostly fire. With a whoosh, he grabbed the bone spear, its tip emitting wisps of black smoke: "Will you eat it or not!?"

Old Duan is already on the verge of exploding.

But how could Xue Fuxiao be afraid of him? She laughed until tears streamed down her face, shaking her head violently: "I won't eat! Hahaha, I won't eat! I want to watch you pull..."

Upon hearing this, Duan Xiyang was even more furious!

He did see it!
"Xue Fuxiao! You despicable scoundrel! You hypocrite! You bastard!"

Duan Xiyang exploded: "I'm going to stab you to death with one shot!"

Xue Fuxiao laughed wildly, bending over backwards.

But the more Xue Fuxiao laughed, the angrier Duan Xiyang became.

The white bone spear was brandished, ready to strike.

But then it suddenly stopped.

A strange expression suddenly appeared on his face: "..."

Xue Fuxiao was stunned: "What's wrong?"

Duan Xiyang stared wide-eyed, holding the bone spear, his other hand touching his stomach, his brows furrowed deeply: "...It seems...there's been a change...this..."

Just now, he clearly felt an extremely pure aura suddenly flash out from the crystal core in his stomach, and instantly traveled through his meridians and entered his dantian.

Then, after circulating the energy up and down through the body for a full cycle, I felt much more relaxed.

In the sea of ​​consciousness and within the soul, the tyrannical aura of killing that the Five Elemental Gu had been emanating for so long was actually partially eliminated under the influence of this power!

Duan Xiyang entered the Dao through killing, making him extremely sensitive to this aspect.

I noticed it immediately.

Moreover, the meridians underwent an extremely subtle purification.

Although extremely rare and minuscule, if this continues for a long time...

He focused his mind and looked inward, and found that one of the twelve crystal cores he had just swallowed had melted a corner!

Duan Xiyang suddenly turned his head and looked at the mountain of crystal cores behind him, his eyes bursting with bright light.

It's like discovering a treasure!
He suddenly grinned sinisterly: "Xue Fuxiao, you're not going to eat, are you? Fine, I'll eat! Give me all yours too!"

Xue Fuxiao immediately sensed something was wrong: "What? Old Duan, you still haven't given up?"

Duan Xiyang chuckled strangely: "Just tell me, are you going to give it to me or not?"

"No!"

Although she didn't know what had happened, Xue Fuxiao still instinctively chose to refuse.

At this moment, the stingy policy that Dongfang Sansan had been implementing for ten thousand years played a huge role: in the hearts of all the guardians, once something is in our hands, no matter what it is, it will never leave again! Especially not to the Sovereign Cult!

"Anyway, you're not going to eat it."

Duan Xiyang observed intently and found that the melting of the crystal core in her stomach had stopped.

So why did it melt just now?

He racked his brains.

Xue Fuxiao was also examining a handful of crystal cores closely. He wondered if Duan Xiyang was tricking him into eating them, since his anger just now was genuine.

But his current contemplation is also sincere and heartfelt.

None of them are fake.

Could it be that Lao Duan has discovered something?
Xue Fuxiao was deep in thought, observing, and neither of them spoke, the space falling into silence.

The seal over there was making a constant rumbling sound, and more monsters were emerging.

Abandoning all thought, the two immediately began fighting. After an hour of frenzied slaughter, each had more than a hundred crystal cores in their hands.

There was another moment to catch one's breath.

The two of them, without prior arrangement, picked up the crystal core and began studying it again.

When Xue Fuxiao saw that Duan Xiyang was doing the same thing as her, she knew that Duan Xiyang had not lied to her after all, and there was indeed something fishy going on.

After pondering for a long time, Xue Fuxiao wiped the twelve pills and swallowed them in one gulp.

This time, however, Duan Xiyang merely turned to look at him, showing no sign of 'successfully teasing'.

The two observed and studied quietly, neither uttering a word.

Xue Fuxiao also sensed that 'faint fluctuation,' but it was really not obvious.

So, what exactly did Lao Duan sense?
After thinking for a long time, Xue Fuxiao finally asked, "Old Duan, what did you sense?"

"You sensed it?" Duan Xiyang's answer was also full of mystery.

"No."

“I sense something, but I can’t figure it out,” Duan Xiyang said.

"tell me the story?"

"Tomorrow."

Duan Xiyang was unwilling to tell.

Speaking of stance, you're the guardian, why should I talk to you?

Besides, you've never even pooped!
You want benefits right away? Dream on!
Furthermore, Duan Xiyang still doesn't understand it. He only feels that he seems to have grasped something, but no matter what he does, he can't explain or figure it out.

After another night of fighting.

Xue Fuxiao's face was contorted in the final few battles.

Because he felt that sensation... he really couldn't control his anus!
Those crystal cores seemed to be alive, pushing outwards with an unstoppable force that even Xue Fuxiao couldn't control.

What a fool!
Xue Fuxiao tried her best to clench her buttocks while fighting.

Its power remains undiminished, but its movements are bizarre.

"Hahahahahaha..."

Duan Xiyang fought while keeping his eyes glued to Xue Fuxiao, and laughed heartily at the same time!

Holy crap, I could die happy now.

Duan Xiyang himself did not expect that his single-minded attempt to trick Xue Fuxiao would backfire, and he would even be tricked in return.

However, when she had no intention of tricking him and genuinely wanted to study the uses of the crystal core, she ended up tricking Xue Fuxiao instead.

"Old Xue!"

Duan Xiyang laughed loudly: "Go ahead and poop! Poop without worry! After all, you are the ancestor of the King of Shit! What's shameful about that! Poop with all your might!"

Xue Fuxiao's face flushed red as she fought, yelling, "You son of a bitch Duan Xiyang! Shut the hell up! Turn your face away! What are you looking at!"

Duan Xiyang just laughed!
I'm so happy I'm going crazy.

But the next moment, I suddenly felt another movement in my stomach, and another crystal core melted by a third in an instant, and it was still melting.

The pure power surged forth once more.

It travels along the meridians, enters the dantian, circulates throughout the body, surrounds heaven and earth, enters the spirit and soul, and settles in the sea of ​​consciousness.

The killing power guided by the Five Spirit Gu has been reduced by one point again.

This time, however, it was continuous. As Duan Xiyang's mood grew even more cheerful, the crystal core melted even faster. Soon, the entire crystal core had completely melted!

Duan Xiyang felt that the endless gloom that had been hanging over his soul had suddenly lessened considerably.

He knew it was an illusion; the gloom that came from his killings was overwhelming, and this time, at most, only a small part of it had disappeared.

But... it's gone after all!
That indescribable sense of relief made Duan Xiyang feel extremely comfortable!

"That's it! That's it!"

Duan Xiyang laughed wildly.

He only realized now that the thing in his stomach hadn't gone down, but had stayed inside his body, unlike Xue Fuxiao who couldn't control it.

Because it had been melted after all!
Although only a small amount melted.

Duan Xiyang truly understood.

Finally, Xue Fuxiao, having completed this major life event while fighting, felt utterly ashamed and completely dejected.

Duan Xiyang witnessed the entire process.

I happily transformed three crystal nuclei in succession!!

"Xue Fuxiao! You've finally met your match, hahaha..."

Xue Fuxiao felt utterly hopeless, utterly humiliated.

He pulled twelve crystal cores out of his pants, quickly putting them into his spatial ring without even looking at them. His face darkened. "What's so funny? Haven't you done it yourself?" Although he had done it before, it didn't affect Duan Xiyang's good mood.

He said cheerfully, "Do you understand now?"

"I don't understand." Xue Fuxiao knew this guy must have received some benefits, and at this moment, she couldn't go against him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said anything.

"It's related to the seven emotions!"

Duan Xiyang said with certainty, "When you tricked me into eating it but then said you wouldn't, I was furious and dissolved half of the crystal core. Now I'm overjoyed because I actually dissolved three crystal cores! In other words, this thing needs to be melted with the seven emotions."

"It is beneficial for cultivation growth and meridian purification and stabilization, but the greatest benefit should be to the spirit, consciousness and soul."

Duan Xiyang did not hide anything and told the whole story.

The two are definitely on the same path. At the very least, they are on the same path in martial arts!
Without Xue Fuxiao, Duan Xiyang wouldn't have reached this point. And without Duan Xiyang, Xue Fuxiao wouldn't have faced so much pressure, nor would she have achieved such great heights!

Despite their differing stances, their shared passion for martial arts remains the same.

That's for sure.

Therefore, Duan Xiyang is now a little afraid that Xue Fuxiao will fall too far behind.

Because I am too far away from what is in front of me and too far away from what is behind me.

Xue Fuxiao suddenly realized: "So that's how it is?"

"Of course!"

"The seven emotions can be transformed... what can be replenished?"

Everything can be fixed.

Duan Xiyang has only explored half a step so far and can only give a vague answer: "But what is certain is that once it starts to melt, even if it's just a little bit, it won't go any further! And this kind of embarrassing situation will no longer occur."

"Then how do we stimulate the seven emotions?"

“Then…” Duan Xiyang was speechless.

"Both times you were subjected to such intense stimulation that the crystal core melted even a little bit. But given our cultivation levels, how could we so easily trigger such extreme joy and sorrow at any time?"

Xue Fuxiao asked.

"If it can't be triggered, then wouldn't we have to go through this cycle every day... And you can still eat things that have already been through the cycle? Can you even do that?"

"This one……"

Duan Xiyang scratched his head, twisted his face, and shook his head: "I can't do it!"

"I can't do it either!"

Xue Fuxiao touched the spatial ring with some regret. It seemed that these twelve items would only be able to benefit Rui Qianshan.

"Did you melt the same thing when you were furious and when you were overjoyed?" Xue Fuxiao asked.

"No. In a fit of rage, one of them melted halfway, but in a fit of great joy, three of them melted."

Duan Xiyang couldn't help but burst into laughter again, then said, "Hey, sure enough, the fourth one is starting to melt now."

"So watching me make a fool of myself is so enjoyable for you?"

Xue Fuxiao was furious. She hurriedly threw twelve more pills into her mouth.

"Of course I'm happy! Seeing you make a fool of yourself is more satisfying than anything else." Duan Xiyang was overjoyed, and the crystal core melted again, making him even happier.

Xue Fuxiao began to lose control of her emotions, becoming furious, enraged, and raging wildly as she cursed Duan Xiyang.

Then I felt a movement in my dantian...

One of the crystal cores had melted by one-third.

"Wow, that's crazy!"

Xue Fuxiao was shocked: "It really is so!"

Then another one started melting at a point...

"Hey?"

Xue Fuxiao was shocked: "It really is the Seven Emotions! I was so surprised that the second one started melting! Holy crap, it's melting so fast!"

Feeling the crystal core melting, the strange changes it brought to their body's meridians, dantian, soul, and consciousness were subtle, even negligible. However... Xue Fuxiao and Duan Xiyang both understood one thing: at their level of cultivation, every change was precious!

These are realms that ordinary people cannot reach in their entire lives!
This all means that I can take one more step... two more steps, or even further!

next moment!
The two of them turned to look at the two sealed portals at the same time.

At the same time, a thought came to mind: "This place is actually such a wonderful place!"
What a treasure!
Suddenly shocked, then overjoyed, the crystal core began to melt at an accelerated rate.

"We'll really be fighting here for a while longer. The more of this stuff we take out, the better!"

Duan Xiyang's eyes lit up, and Xue Fuxiao's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Then, almost simultaneously, they turned around and made the same move: with a whoosh, they put all the mountain of crystal cores that belonged to them into their spatial rings!

Then he turned to look at the other person's side. Seeing that it was completely empty, he burst into laughter: "I won't take it from you!"

"Then why did you put it away?"

"And what about you? Why are you putting it away?"

The two questioned each other, both feeling their character had been greatly insulted. Then, they both burst into laughter.

The two fought even more fiercely and efficiently afterward. Both were worried that the two portals might suddenly disappear, interrupting their income.

Therefore, they are even more racing against time.

More and more crystal cores entered their hands, and as they continued to fight, they could even feel their own strength and combat power increasing.

However, correspondingly, the strength of the monster on the other side also increases as the two improve, becoming increasingly powerful.

Three days later, the crystal cores that were produced again began to have patterns on them.

The pattern is very blurry.

However, it is clear that some of them appear to be half a blurry smiling face, while others appear to be several blurry lines of a crying face.

But this is a direction!
Both of them were full of energy!
Knew it!
"This is the Hunting Grounds of All Spirits! So this is what the Hunting Grounds of All Spirits is like!"

Duan Xiyang burst into laughter.

"But why didn't this happen during the previous hunts at Wanlingkou? The last time we went, it was just a simple battle, which was very boring. And the monsters weren't this strong either."

"Even when the Ancestor of Dance hunted the myriad spirits, there was none."

Xue Fuxiao pondered for a moment and then asked, "So, what is the reason for this change?"

Duan Xiyang snorted and said without hesitation, "Those times, your Flying Bear God hadn't been revived yet. And this was the guidance of the Cloud Weapon Ranking. The Cloud Weapon Ranking guided us here because of the Flying Bear God's divine power. Since the Flying Bear God hadn't been revived, we could only find this place and couldn't do anything else."

Duan Xiyang had been thinking about this problem for several days.

Therefore, he now firmly believes that what he thinks must be true.

"Brother Duan is right."

Xue Fuxiao pondered for a long time before finally nodding.

"When I get back, I'll ask San San and we'll finalize it again to see if it's certain."

Duan Xiyang's eyes lit up immediately, and he said with some hope, "Then after you ask the strategist Dongfang, tell me too."

"should be no problem."

Xue Fuxiao nodded.

Duan Xiyang coughed and said, "Give a few to strategist Dongfang as well, but don't tell him how to use them yet."

"Ha ha……"

Xue Fuxiao rolled her eyes and said, "Old Duan, are you trying to kill me?!"

Duan Xiyang sneered: "Coward!"

He then asked, "How much longer do you estimate we'll be here?"

Xue Fuxiao frowned as she looked at the densely packed monsters opposite her and said, "I'm not sure. But there's bound to be an end. Because given the current situation, if the monsters inside are given just half an hour, they can break through the seal and come out. And each of these things is basically at the peak of the continent's combat power. Once they break out and enter the continent, it will be a catastrophe that sweeps across the world!"

"The entire population of the continent will be wiped out, including you and me."

"Because once these two gates open, it won't just be one or two people coming out, but a continuous stream. However, if all those we've already killed were to rush out and fight us... we would all surely die, and even Grand Master Zheng would perish. There are just too many!"

Duan Xiyang chuckled dismissively, "I'm not really afraid of them having too many now! I'm just worried it will end too soon!"

“I don’t think we need to worry about that. But the biggest problem right now is… we can’t get out. In this short time, we can’t go out and send a message. And this thick fog is preventing us from getting out.”

"But inside, neither my communication jade nor your Five Elemental Gu are connected to the outside world. That makes me a little uneasy."

"Let's wait. We can only fight, reap the benefits, digest the gains, and wait all at the same time."

"Two more have come out!"

The two men instantly drew their swords and spears and charged forward.

Xue Duan and the other two had no idea when it would end.

They could only bury themselves in their fighting and wait.

If destiny could manifest, a complete pattern could be drawn from a certain angle high in the sky: the place where destiny is contested in the Northern Frontier, the headquarters of the Righteous Sect, beneath the Soul-Devouring Cliff shrouded in poisonous mist, somewhere in the vast sea, the headquarters of the Guardians…

All of them are rising with fortune, condensing together somewhere high in the sky.

Then one head shot into the vast void, another head turned towards the place where Duan Xiyang and Xue Fuxiao were fighting, and the last head landed in a mysterious valley in the southeast.

But in the heart of the earth, there lies a mysterious place.

Energy is being channeled from three directions, like a beating heart. And with each beat, countless mysterious forces are being channeled back into the Northern Frontier, the Capital, the City of Trials, the Soul-Devouring Cliff, and the Great Sea...

This is a cycle.

Just like a person's heart, it beats, pumping blood and energy to every part of the body.

It's clear that this heart's circulation system is newly established, and originally, it was fragmented with countless breaks. But now, as the circulation continues, these breaks are slowly being repaired...

Dongfang San San stood in front of the Guardian Headquarters' Furnace of Fortune.

He comes here every two days.

Every time I come, I can clearly feel that the Qi Yun Furnace has grown stronger.

During this period, the speed of its growth seems to be accelerating.

Dongfang Sansan frowned: What is the reason for this?
Similarly, Yan Nan was also puzzled by the fact that the Qi of the Only Righteous Sect had grown so much: How come... it's grown so much?
In the boundless sea.

A massive formation was hidden in the void.

Inside was a continent at sea.

In the very center of the mainland, it is resplendent in gold.

It's like a huge golden dragon, leisurely lying in the azure sea.

At the very center of this building is a giant golden dragon made entirely of gold!

It was several tens of feet tall and shimmered with golden light.

All the high-ranking members of the Golden Dragon Palace are now gathered in front of this golden dragon statue, looking up at it solemnly.

Because... a phenomenon that has never happened in ten thousand years has now occurred.

The golden horns on the head of this golden dragon were actually emitting a crystalline light!
And the Dragon God's eyes, as if they had come alive, emitted a soft light.

"Immediately issue the order: burn incense and pray, and have the entire island worship the Dragon God!!"

A voice urgently relayed the order, filled with boundless excitement.

"Dragon God! He has appeared!!"
