Cangling Immortal Clan

Chapter 426 Ao Xuan's Enlightenment [6K]

The concentration of turbid air in the vital energy of heaven and earth in the ancient world of Youtian is too high, which is actually not very suitable for cultivation to break through the realm of the primordial spirit.

It is also because of this that it is easier for demon cultivators and demons to break through the realm of the primordial spirit, while it is much more difficult for pure cultivators to break through.

If it were an ordinary pseudo-Lord of the Heaven, even if he had cultivated two pure yang magical powers and had the support of the Youtian Holy Land, the possibility of a successful breakthrough would probably be slim.

Fortunately, Ye Linyuan has a person under his command who is particularly suitable for breaking through here, and that is the Nine-Pole Dragon Emperor - Ao Xuan.

As the Nine-Pole Dragon Emperor, Ao Xuan's astonishing qualifications are enough to allow him to ignore the limitations of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and forcibly absorb the vital energy of heaven and earth to break through the realm of Yuanshen Tianjun.

After all, no matter how much turbid air and dark demonic energy there is in the vital energy of heaven and earth, it will become the purest spiritual energy under the refining of the Nine Extreme Immortal Fire.

To a certain extent, Ao Xuan, like Ye Linyuan, has broken free from the most taboo restrictions of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and can directly absorb the vital energy of heaven and earth to break through to a higher level.

Of course, without the gathering of spiritual energy by his natal formation, Ao Xuan’s speed of absorbing the vital energy of heaven and earth would be much slower. Moreover, it would also take time for the Nine Extreme Immortal Fire to refine the vital energy of heaven and earth, which was slower than directly absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

But no matter what, with the peerless foundation of the Daoist Ancestor level, even if Ao Xuan does not have any earth-shaking opportunities in the future, he can naturally cultivate to the great perfection of the soul in this era.

As long as he has a little chance, he will be almost certain to break through the realm of refining emptiness.

"Just break through with peace of mind. Don't worry about being disturbed."

Ye Linyuan arranged for Ao Xuan's breakthrough, and then waited quietly.

The process of Ao Xuan's breakthrough this time was also shocking. After he showed his unparalleled foundation, he soon found a chance to prove his Dao from the sky.

The magnificent heavenly soul fell from the sky and moved slowly towards the direction where Ao Xuan was breaking through.

"What a strong momentum."

“Shocking and unprecedented.”

In an instant, from the Nether Sky Demon Nest, several gazes looked over through the sky.

Several old monsters were awakened, and the only Demonic Heavenly Monarch in the world came out of retreat. He said with an extremely solemn expression: "This person's aura penetrates the sky, I'm afraid it's the best in a million years."

"If he succeeds in breaking through, it will probably bring us great trouble."

"Then kill him."

The only demon king in the world, the Blood Abyss Demon Lord, opened his mouth and rushed out with the Blood Abyss Demon Sword in his hand.

Several demon kings in the Nether Sky Demon Nest looked at each other, and then an old demon king said, "Such a monster, I'm afraid those old monsters in the Nether Sky Holy Land will not ignore it."

"Let's go out together and kill it, so as to avoid any twists and turns in this battle."

As soon as he finished speaking, several demon spirits came out of retreat and headed towards the Youtian Immortal Alliance with boundless murderous intent.

In almost an instant, the Blood Abyss Demon Lord arrived outside the Youtian Immortal City, and slashed across the sky with his magic sword. A devastating sword energy immediately slashed towards the Youtian Immortal City.

One has to admit that the demon cultivator's combat power is indeed strong. The power of this attack is unprecedented and almost touches the level of the middle stage of the Yuanshen.

Unfortunately, in this era, it is not easy to break through the primordial spirit. One after another, the most powerful killing force came out of nowhere.

Ye Xuqiu, Ye Yingxu and others took action one after another and forced the Blood Abyss Demon Lord to retreat on the spot.

"It's really a scam."

Facing the attack from the two, the Blood Abyss Demon Lord sneered, and then cracks appeared all over his body.

A total of five Yuanshen demon cultivators and demons stepped out from there, mobilizing their most powerful forces to attack the two of them.

"Just in time."

But at this moment, a series of Void Orbs, Xuanyuan Sea-Suppressing Flags, and Thunder Dragon Pillars appeared, completely blocking off the area within a million miles.

For Ye Linyuan, the gap between the top-grade spiritual treasure and the pure yang spiritual treasure is not an insurmountable chasm.

After being nurtured by the extremely pure and powerful pure yang magic power, and consuming a large amount of soul-nourishing elixirs and fifth-level rare items, Ye Linyuan's three sets of spiritual treasures have all been greatly improved.

Although it has not yet completely transformed into a Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure Array, a small part of it has been promoted to Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure.

Among them, six Xuanyuan Zhenhai Flags were promoted to Pure Yang Lingbao, ten Tiangang Leijiao Pillars were promoted to Pure Yang Lingbao, and eight Xuanyuan Zhenshi Pearls were promoted to Pure Yang Lingbao.

The promotion of so many Pure Yang spiritual treasures instantly gave a huge boost to the power of these three formations, almost reaching the realm of perfection of the middle stage of the Yuanshen.

At this time, as Ye Linyuan activated the formation and cooperated with Demon Lord Mo Yuan to attack, this group of Demon Lords were immediately put at a disadvantage, and soon they were in a state of retreat.

When reaching the level of Yuanshen Tianjun, it is very difficult for a demon cultivator to fight against a higher level. After all, at the level of Yuanshen, the quality of mana is no longer the most critical factor affecting combat effectiveness.

Magical powers, spiritual treasures, and the various arts of cultivation can make up for the difference in strength to a certain extent. Most of the demon spirits, even if they have amazing combat power, can only fight one against two.

"Don't rush to kill them. Let's see if there are any more monsters coming out."

After trapping the demon's soul, Ye Linyuan was not in a hurry to kill them. He only used 30% to 40% of his strength to inflict heavy casualties on them one after another.

Unfortunately, Ye Linyuan waited for several hours, but still did not see any movement from the Nether Sky Demon Nest. He could not help but sneer and said, "Forget it. These demons are greedy and selfish. I am afraid they can no longer be tempted."

Having said this, Ye Linyuan's palms were filled with thousands of sword domains that intersected and eventually killed all six demon spirits.

And from beginning to end, there was no movement in the demon's nest.

The reason for this is that most of the Demon Lords are selfish. Those Demon Lords in the late stage of the Soul will never come out for these younger generations, and those in the middle stage of the Soul are unwilling to fight to the death with Ye Linyuan and others.

After killing the six great demon spirits, layers of demonic magic power returned to the world, the turbid air returned to the underworld, and the clear air sank above the nine heavens.

Unfortunately, more than 70% of the demon's soul's body is filled with turbid air, and the Taoist essence and magic power left after the transformation are also mainly composed of turbid air, so the cultivation environment of heaven and earth has not recovered to an exaggerated level.

With the fall of the six demon kings, Ao Xuan's breakthrough has also come to an end. Finally, as the heavenly soul slowly fell, Ao Xuan successfully stepped into the realm of Yuanshen Tianjun.

Ao Xuan's breakthrough directly laid an unprecedented and invincible foundation.

He stepped into the realm of Yuanshen with his unparalleled background, and his combat power directly entered the middle stage of Yuanshen, and he went a long distance in this field.

According to Ye Linyuan's estimation, Ao Xuan's strength should be enough to rival that of Demon Lord Mo Yuan. This is because he has just achieved a breakthrough. As long as Ao Xuan is given a few hundred years to digest the gains, his strength should be able to surpass that of Demon Lord Mo Yuan.

Of course, it has been hundreds of years since Demon Lord Mo Yuan broke through his soul. He has gained many opportunities in the core layer of the Jiexu Forbidden Land. In recent years, he has also received a lot of resources funded by Ye Linyuan, so his cultivation progress is naturally very fast.

According to the current speed, if nothing unexpected happens, Demon Lord Mo Yuan will be able to break through to the middle stage of the Soul in a few hundred years.

"My fellow Taoists, please come forward and see me."

Just at the moment when Ao Xuan broke through, a gentle voice suddenly came.

Upon hearing this, Ye Linyuan exchanged glances with everyone, then walked towards the depths of the Youtian Immortal Alliance, and finally met an old man with white hair and beard in a towering sacred mountain.

The aura of this person was extremely weak, and it seemed that he was just an incarnation. When he saw everyone, he bowed very politely and said, "I am Taoist Tianhe, the fifth elder of the Youtian Holy Land."

"Thanks to all of you for helping me this time, you have greatly relieved my stress. Please accept my greetings."

"Fellow Taoist, that's so polite."

Ye Linyuan smiled slightly and lifted it up with a flick of his sleeves.

Taoist Tianhe stood up and asked everyone to take their seats. He then asked directly, "Are you all from the Haotian Ancient Realm?"

"How did you know?"

Ye Linyuan was a little surprised and couldn't help asking.

Taoist Tianhe sighed, and then said, "Seven or eight hundred thousand years ago, I met Taoist Shengyang and Taoist Taihuang from the Haotian Ancient Realm, and I am quite familiar with the exotic aura in your bodies."

"So that's how it is." Ye Linyuan nodded.

Upon hearing this, Sheng Yangzi, who was standing by, could not help but ask excitedly, "Senior, you have seen my father, do you know where he went later?"

"So it's the descendant of an old friend."

Taoist Tianhe sighed, and then said, "Daoyou Shengyang is a man of extraordinary talent. He has come to the Ancient World of Netherworld four times and has done business with me several times."

"I remember the last time we met was 790,000 years ago. At that time, his cultivation had reached the late stage of the Yuanshen, and he said frankly that he was going to leave the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm to find the Longevity Heaven Realm."

At this point, Taoist Tianhe couldn't help but sigh slightly, shook his head and said: "The Nine Heavens Ancient Realm is a cage set up by the demons. It is almost as difficult as ascending to heaven for him to leave. I'm afraid he will die."

"Seven hundred and ninety thousand years ago."

Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart that Shengyang Tianjun attained enlightenment 830,000 years ago and left the Youtian Ancient Realm 790,000 years ago, which means that he has lived for at least 40,000 years.

Having traveled around the world for 40,000 years, no one knows how much profound foundation Shengyang Tianjun has accumulated.

Unfortunately, since ancient times, the opportunities for breaking through to the Great Perfection of the Soul in the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm have been divided up by the high-level officials of the major forbidden areas. Even Saint Yang Tianjun can only cultivate to the late stage of the Soul at most.

Of course, perhaps some people do not want to see the birth of the Great Perfection of the Soul in the Nine Heavens Ancient World, so they blocked the key resources for the advancement to the Great Perfection of the Soul.

After all, a soul that has reached great perfection with sufficient lifespan has the ability to protect itself even when facing the lord of a forbidden area. Such an existence already has the potential to level all the ancient forbidden areas.

The various ancient treasures collected by the Lord of the Forbidden Land are enough to tempt the newly born Great Perfection of the Yuanshen to take action to destroy the forbidden land. "Do I have to destroy a forbidden land if I want to break through the Great Perfection of the Yuanshen?"

Ye Linyuan's mind was in turmoil, but he quickly suppressed the thought.

But he looked at the Tianhe Patriarch and asked, "Daoyou, do you know where the Great Desolate Saint Monarch has gone?"

"I have only met Daoist Fellow Taihuang once. His cultivation was only at the initial stage of the Yuanshen realm. When he came to the Youtian Ancient Realm, he had already been severely eroded by darkness."

"Afterwards, he recuperated in Youtian Holy Land for a while and then left. According to him, he was going to look for Juntian Ancient Realm because there was an opportunity to prove the Dao with the flesh body and refine the Void."

"But he never came back. Now I think he might have been completely lost in the black tide."

Speaking of this, Taoist Tianhe showed a trace of regret.

Upon hearing this, Ye Linyuan nodded slightly and asked Taoist Tianhe about the situation of the Youtian Ancient Realm.

According to Taoist Tianhe, there are still more than ten Yuanshen Tianjuns sleeping in the Youtian Holy Land, including an ancient senior who is at the half-step refining void level.

However, due to their short lifespan, most of the people were in deep sleep, except for Taoist Tianhe, who was in shallow sleep as the night watchman.

As for the Nether Sky Demon Nest, there are about two hundred Yuanshen Tianjuns. Among them are ancient pure cultivators who have fallen into the devil's way, demon Yuanshen Tianjuns, and demon cultivators who have achieved enlightenment over millions of years. Each of them is not an easy opponent.

Of course, what everyone fears the most is that there are two half-step refining realms sleeping in the Nether Sky Demon Nest.

"Two Half-step Void Refining Saints?"

Ye Linyuan frowned slightly, and a hint of fear appeared in his pupils.

Taoist Tianhe nodded, then sighed and said: "Although the combat power of these two Half-step Refining Void Masters is amazing, they are both exhausted and will not be born easily, so they are not the greatest disaster for our Youtian Ancient World."

"The real catastrophe that destroyed the Netherworld was the Netherworld Bell..."

Having said this, Taoist Tianhe revealed a look of despair.

Ye Linyuan's pupils also sank slightly, and a hint of solemnity appeared in his eyes.

The Youtian Bell has fallen into the evil path. Once it completely turns black and turns into a mysterious magic treasure, I am afraid that the entire Youtian ancient world will be in danger of destruction.

After all, the Youtian Bell ranks seventh among the twenty-four divine artifacts in the heavens. It is an unparalleled treasure that suppresses the world at the level of a top-grade Xuantian spiritual treasure.

This thing is connected to the origin of the Ancient World of Youtian. Once it is revived, it may be able to transform the entire Ancient World of Youtian into a vast demon world.

"A treasure like this will never completely fall into depravity overnight."

"Even if it has fallen now, we are powerless to do anything about it, so there is no need to worry too much."

Ye Linyuan spoke calmly, then looked at Taoist Tianhe and asked, "My main purpose for coming to the Ancient Netherworld, in addition to helping the spirit pets break through their primordial spirits, is to obtain the origins of the Fengfeng grass and Fengfeng gourd vine."

"Daoyou, you want to complete your spiritual roots, right?"

Taoist Tianhe smiled slightly upon hearing this, and then said with a murderous look in his pupils: "I have quite a few seeds of the Fengfeng grass treasured in the Youtian Holy Land."

"It's just that the remaining root of the Fengfeng Gourd Vine was brought to the Demon Realm by that traitor back then. Now it's rooted in the Nether Sky Demon Nest. It will be extremely difficult for you to get it."

Ye Linyuan frowned slightly when he heard this. It turned out that among the two half-step refining masters in the Youtian Demon Nest, one of them was a great refining master from the ancient Youtian world - Taoist Bifeng.

The Taoist priest Biaofeng was a disciple of the Lord of the Youtian Realm, and he was also the most critical reason for the destruction of the ancient Youtian Realm back then.

At the critical moment of the war against heaven, the Lord of Youtian Realm brought the supreme beings and spirits of Youtian Ancient Realm to Haotian Ancient Realm for support.

Before leaving, he specially left behind a Supreme Refining Void Master and eight of his disciples at the half-step Refining Void level, including Taoist Biaofeng, to guard the Youtian Ancient Realm.

As a result, at the critical moment, one of the eight disciples, Taoist Bifeng, could not resist the temptation of the Demon Lord. He took advantage of the confrontation between the Supreme Lord Lianxu and the Demon Lord from outside the domain to turn against him, and cooperated inside and outside to severely damage the spiritual root Bifeng Gourd Vine that guards the world.

The severe damage to the Feng Gourd Vine caused a gap in the Youtian Ancient Realm. Even with the Supreme Lianxu staying behind, it was already too late to save the situation.

Countless demons followed the black tide and poured into the Youtian Ancient Realm, causing the Youtian Ancient Realm to almost turn into a demon world, forcing the Youtian Bell, the treasure that suppresses the world, to sacrifice itself to suppress the endless black tide.

The corruption of the Youtian Bell also led to a significant reduction in the power of the Xuantian Twenty-Four Divine Artifacts Array, which further put the core area of ​​the ancient battlefield in danger, and ultimately forced the Lord of the Haotian Realm to give up everything and strike out with that sword.

In the final battle of the ancient Youtian Realm, the Supreme Lianxu and the Demon Lord from Outside the Territory died together, and six of the eight disciples of the Youtian Realm master who were at the half-step Lianxu level were killed in the battle.

Only Taoist Li Feng and Taoist Biao Feng were left alive. Taoist Li Feng was the founder of Youtian Holy Land, while Taoist Biao Feng fell into the evil way and joined the Youtian Demon Nest.

"The ancient war was so brutal."

Ye Linyuan sighed slightly in his heart. He knew very well that people's hearts are changeable and it is impossible for everyone to stick to their original intentions.

If the Youtian Ancient Realm had left behind one more Lianxu Supreme, it might have been able to defend the Youtian Ancient Realm. But who could have thought that the most trusted disciple would rebel?
Moreover, the situation on the front line of the Ancient War to Destroy Heaven is tense, and the demon lord behind the scenes they are facing is so powerful that it is suffocating.

"It's not the realm master's fault for not being able to judge people, it's just that we failed to protect the Fengfeng Gourd Vine."

Tianhe Patriarch sighed, then smiled bitterly and said, "Although I wish I could eat that beast, Biaofeng, alive, I have to admit that the old villain is powerful."

“If you don’t have the combat power of a top-level Yuanshen Great Perfection, you will only die even if you go there. Moreover, if you anger the two Half-step Refining Void Saints there, I’m afraid the entire Youtian Ancient Realm will fall into an irreparable situation.”

"I see."

Ye Linyuan nodded, and in his mind he couldn't help but raise the threat level of the Youtian Demon Nest to a higher level.

Next, Ye Linyuan talked with Patriarch Tianhe for a long time and learned a lot about the past and information of the Youtian Ancient Realm. In the end, he decided not to stay in the Youtian Ancient Realm any longer.

Before leaving, he took out a large number of rare treasures from his sleeves and exchanged them for a batch of fifth-grade top-quality rare treasures and a large number of Fengfeng grass seeds from the Tianhe Patriarch.

The treasures that Ye Linyuan took out were all treasures that Tianhe Patriarch could not refuse, such as large quantities of Taihuang Holy Fruit, Nirvana Holy Fruit, the fifth-grade top-grade Eternal Ice Soul and other treasures.

Among these treasures, the fifth-level Taihuang Holy Fruit can greatly replenish essence and help the sleeping Yuanshen Tianjun recover his qi, blood and magic power.

The Holy Fruit of Nirvana can restore the early stage of the Yuanshen Heavenly King to full condition, and can restore the late stage of the Yuanshen to 30% of its peak condition.

The Eternal Mysterious Ice is a specialty of the Ice Soul Phoenix Nest. Its effect in delaying the loss of lifespan is stronger than that of the Ancient Life Mine, but sleeping in it will make it easier for your flesh and blood to dry up.

According to Ye Linyuan's estimation, this thing and the ancient life mine each have their own advantages.

The life ore can slow down the rate of loss of lifespan by three hundred times, and has the power of life to continuously replenish vitality, so people who seal themselves with the ancient life ore can often maintain 40% to 50% of their combat power when they are born.

The ancient black ice can slow down the loss of lifespan by five hundred times, and its effect is comparable to that of the immortal stone, but it does not have the effect of maintaining vitality.

Therefore, those who seal themselves with the Eternal Mysterious Ice often have only 10% to 20% of their strength left when they are born, and need to absorb a large amount of life essence to restore their strength.

The Longevity Stone combines the effects of the Ancient Life Mineral and the Eternal Mysterious Ice, but its quantity is too scarce. If you only refine a thin layer and wear it on your body, the effect may not be as good as large pieces of Eternal Mysterious Ice and the Ancient Life Mineral.

Those who can afford to use the Longevity Stones in large quantities are all the masters of the restricted areas at the half-step refining level and a few who have reached the great perfection of the soul.

No matter what, the self-sealing and recovery items that Ye Linyuan took out this time were all treasures that the Youtian Ancient Realm urgently needed.

In order to exchange for these treasures, Patriarch Tianhe did not hesitate to awaken a giant who had reached the great perfection of his soul. In the end, he took out a large number of rare items to exchange with Ye Linyuan, including a large number of high-level wind-attributed skills.

"It's a pity that Patriarch Li Feng has been in deep sleep for many years and has not obtained the skills of the Lord of the Netherworld."

After acquiring enough skills, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but show a hint of regret.

Because of the Fengfeng Gourd Vine, the most powerful wind-attributed skills in the Jiutian Ancient Realm are in the Youtian Ancient Realm, and the most powerful wind-attributed skills are also in the Jiutian Ancient Realm.

The Lord of the Netherworld is known as the Lord of the Eight Winds. He masters the laws of the eight winds, including the flaming wind, surging wind, fragrant wind, huge wind, bleak wind, drizzling wind, fierce wind and cold wind. He is an ancient giant who has reached the eighth level of the Refining Void Realm.

Such a world master, even if he goes to the immortal heaven, is enough to become one of the strongest pillars among the hundreds of races and the most powerful figure under the Dao Ancestor.

The skills mastered by such a person are naturally the most advanced skills of refining emptiness. If Ye Linyuan can cultivate the wind spiritual root in the future, this method will also be the main skill of the wind spiritual root.

"That fellow Feng Feng must have the inheritance of the Lord of the Netherworld. If we can kill him completely in the future, it shouldn't be difficult to obtain the inheritance of the Lord of the Netherworld."

Ye Linyuan's thoughts kept emerging, but he finally slowly withdrew all his thoughts.

Having exchanged for enough treasures, and knowing that the Ancient World of Youtian was no longer suitable for others to break through their primordial spirits, Ye Linyuan did not wait any longer.

He said goodbye to Taoist Tianhe, and soon after, he led everyone to leave the Youtian Ancient Realm and headed north towards the Xuantian Ancient Realm.

“I hope that in the Xuantian Ancient Realm, I can get a chance to complete my ice spirit roots.”

Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, and led everyone across the vast void. After traveling for several years, they arrived outside a vast world.

"This ancient world must be the Xuantian Ancient World."

Looking at this ancient world, Ye Linyuan spoke slowly with a smile on his lips.

The Xuantian Ancient Realm looked relatively intact. There was no sign that a region of the Haotian Ancient Realm had been cut off, no danger of the Zhutian Ancient Realm's underground fire veins erupting at any time, and no cracks that ran through the world like the Youtian Ancient Realm.

A world that is preserved intact means that the laws of nature in this world will be more perfect, and it also means that the cultivation environment in this world will be better.

So theoretically speaking, the cultivation environment in the Xuantian Ancient Realm would be much better, and everyone would have a greater hope of breaking through to their primordial spirit here. Even the Seven Absolute Dan Saints might be able to break through in this realm.

Thinking of this, Ye Linyuan smiled and said, "Since we have arrived at the Xuantian Ancient Realm, let's go and see what this complete world looks like."
