Cultivation begins with separation.

Chapter 268 Freedom
When the Baolian puppet appeared again, it was already on the outskirts of Zijin Mountain.

It was not that he didn't want to go directly into Zijin Mountain to see Yi Dong, but the sword intent of the Thirteen True Spirit Swords was locked on him, and the Pagoda Tower was also faintly aiming at him.

The Baolian puppet was stopped. There was no expression on its face. It just sat quietly on the lotus platform.

The Longquan Sword appeared in front of the Baolian Puppet, and a bright red lotus floated towards the Longquan Sword, allowing the Longquan Sword to absorb it.

After a while, the Longquan Sword came in front of Yi Dong.

The Baolian puppet had just appeared in Dajue Lingshan, and Yi Dong immediately received the news.

Because there are gods of the Yi family on the Dajue Lingshan Mountain.

Ever since the Longquan Sword absorbed the dragon energy of the earth, it has been able to transmit some messages through the earth veins, and can also receive messages from other gods from the earth veins.

With the message from the Longquan Sword, Yi Dong had already made preparations for the Baolian Puppet to come to Zijin Mountain.

To be honest, Yi Dong really doesn't dare to face the Baolian puppet face to face now.

This isn't some rubbish like shame.

It was simply because Yi Dong felt that it might be dangerous to face the Baolian puppet now.

Most of the Buddhist practitioners in Dajue Lingshan were driven away by him.

Originally, the Buddhist cultivators suffered no losses when they were on the Yao Chi Fairy Island. If it had always been like this, Yi Dong would not have been afraid to face the Baolian Puppet.

However, the situation has changed now. After the Buddhist cultivators occupied the Puji Fairy Island, they have been fighting with the fleets of the ten major families. It is said that hundreds or even tens of millions of Buddhist cultivators have died.

Originally, among the ten immortal islands, there would just be one for each of the ten second-rank families.

Now, the Xixiangzhou Suppression of Evils Office gave one to Yi Taizhen, and the Buddhist cultivators took another one, leaving only eight fairy islands.

A chief from Xixiang Prefecture came with eight deputy chiefs and the main fleet of the Evil Suppression Division. The ten great families' forces in Qinghai could only swallow their anger.

The ten great families were not as powerful as the Xixiangzhou Suppression Evil Division, so they could only watch Yi Taizhen occupy the Yaochi Fairy Island.

But the Buddhist cultivators are not the Evil Suppression Division. They don’t even have a Return to Void combat force, let alone the warships of the modern cultivators. The fact that they occupied the Puji Fairy Island simply because of their large numbers naturally made the ten major families very angry, so they had no intention of letting the Buddhist cultivators go.

Another thing that made the ten great families angry was that the people from the Evil Suppression Bureau did not take any action against the Buddhist practitioners.

The Evil Suppression Bureau said that those Buddhist practitioners had the same bloodline and could be considered a family of immortal practitioners rather than a sect.

Naturally, this statement cannot be recognized by the ten major families, because it is just a lie.

If the Evil Suppression Division does not take action, they will dispatch a new fleet to eliminate the Buddhist practitioners.

When facing the Yi family with a large fleet, the ten great families all dared to attack the Yao Chi Fairy Island and fought evenly.

Facing the Buddhist cultivators who had no Jinxiu fleet and only some pagodas as weapons of war, they naturally had the advantage, and many Buddhist cultivators were killed by warships every day.

That is because the bodies of those Buddhist practitioners are as hard as magic weapons, and with their magical powers, they can ram the warships head-on like the mechas of the fairyland. Otherwise, the number of Buddhist practitioners killed would be even greater.

So many Buddhist practitioners had died, and before knowing the attitude of the Baolian puppet, Yi Dong naturally did not dare to appear in front of him.

What if the other party blames me for the death of the Buddhist monk and tries to assassinate me at close range?
Fortunately, the situation does not seem to be developing in the worst direction.

After reading the message from Baolian Puppet, Yi Dong breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed that the Baolian Puppet did not care too much about the fact that he had driven away the Buddhist cultivator. Then, Yi Dong began to think about the purpose of the Baolian Puppet's visit.

“I didn’t expect that he could actually find space fragments quickly in the void, and he found a total of 10,000 of them.

He really found tens of thousands of space fragments for me at one time. No wonder he had to stay in the void for so long even with the help of future vision.

However, he said that he wanted a drop of my soul-infused blood in exchange, so that my blood could truly complete the Holy Lotus Body. I don’t know if this is true.”

Yi Dong knew that the core ability of the Holy Lotus Body was to communicate with the underworld.

And the one who left a soul mark in the underworld was Yi Dong.

The Baolian puppet only possesses a little bit of Yidong's soul characteristics and has the ability to communicate with the underworld.

From this perspective, the other party may really need his own soul power to change his own soul, so that his soul can truly communicate with the underworld.

“Or maybe the other party wants to use a little of his soul power as a guide to remove all the parts of his soul that are related to him, so that his soul can become a truly pure soul.

This is the most likely possibility, otherwise, Jin Xiu's blood and essence already contain soul power, and he asked me to inject additional soul power.

Obviously, the other party's goal is my soul power."

The Yellow Springs Karma Fire is said to be able to burn everything. As long as the Baolian Puppet can draw out the part of his soul related to Yi Dong, it will naturally be burned.

"If the Baolian puppet really burns all the connections between me and him, will he still help me do things and listen to me in the future?"

Thinking of this, Yi Dong sighed helplessly.

The Baolian puppet must have seen the future.

If it were one hundred or one thousand space fragments, it would be basically impossible for Yi Dong to give up his own blood and essence.

The Baolian puppet could kill itself with just one drop of blood. There probably wasn't such an outrageous magical power. Yi Dong was not afraid of this.

He does so because the value is unequal.

Among the three holy body puppets, Baolian Puppet can only produce one, and there is no possibility of replacement at all.

If there were fewer space fragments, Yi Dong would not have set the Baolian puppet free. At least, Yi Dong would not have set it free before the Baolian puppet created a price that satisfied Yi Dong.

The other two types of Holy Body puppets have helped me so much, there is no reason to give special treatment to the Baolian puppet.

As long as there are fewer space fragments, Yi Dong will consider it.

But with ten thousand space fragments in front of him, Yi Dong had no way of refusing.

Ten thousand space fragments represent that part of his Great Dao Golden Elixir has been completed.

Thinking of this, Yi Dong summoned the Taixu Sword over.

Soon, the Taixu Sword took Yi Dong's blood and essence out, and then brought back ten thousand boxes of space fragments.

The Taixu Sword possesses magical powers regarding space. After being inspected by the sword spirit, these space fragments will basically not present any problems.

After the Baolian puppet obtained Yi Dong's blood essence, it took a deep look at the pagoda.

Inside the pagoda, the Twelve Causal Avalokitesvaras seemed to be staring at the Baolian puppet from a distance, each looking in the direction of the Baolian puppet without any expression.

After a long time, the figure of Baolian puppet disappeared in the Buddha's light.

After seeing the Baolian puppet leave, Yi Dong thought for a while and felt that he should go into seclusion for a few hundred years.

Because after the Baolian puppet is free, it would be bad if the other party changes his mind and wants to stop him.

In the training room.

Yi Dong sank his consciousness into the space foundation.

First, on the first floor, Yi Dong scattered a lot of jade slips, which contained all kinds of messy knowledge left by Yi Feng.

Yidong's magical power can record the thoughts of all creatures in the abyss space, even their perceptions and understandings, and even a creature's accidental flash of inspiration can be accurately recorded.

After acquiring this ability, Yi Dong often threw various knowledge into the black birdman for research.

Yi Dong not only provided knowledge on constructing the Great Dao Golden Elixir, but also some other knowledge on alchemy, refining, and formations.

The first layer of the abyss is equivalent to Yi Dong’s private laboratory, and all the results of their research will be accepted by Yi Dong.

In other words, Yi Dong did not obtain the magic technique. Otherwise, if he gave the magic technique to these black bird people to study, they might be able to master a magic technique in less than a thousand years.

Of course, even if Yi Dong obtained the research results of the black birdman, he would study them hundreds of times before he would trust them, so he did not really regard the black birdman clan as his own brain.

Yi Dong’s consciousness swept across the first layer of the abyss.

"It seems that these black birdmen can only break through to the third level. It seems that there must be some external factors that limit their improvement."

There are many twisted and evolved white jade and silver trees in the first layer of the abyss, and there is no shortage of energy.

Moreover, these black birdmen are extremely intelligent. They have already researched the fourth-level skills and have synthesized various materials for advancement.

However, not a single individual among them, not even the black birdman who practiced "Perfect Evolution", could break through the fourth level.

After casually looking at the increasingly exquisite creations of the black birdmen, Yi Dong nodded slightly. It seemed that it would not be long before these black birdmen would be able to fully understand the golden elixir method.

Thinking about it, Yi Dong's consciousness reached the second level.

Because Yi Dong has not provided any flesh and blood, nor has he provided any additional energy in recent years, the Huangtianxian Vine has not changed much.

Realized the third level.

There is a strange tree here that looks like a banyan tree, but its body is covered with fish scales.

This tree is a branch of the Peach Tree that has merged with the power of the Milky Way and undergone a twisted evolution.

As expected, after the branches of the Peach Tree twisted and evolved, they were no match for the Huangtian Immortal Vine.

It’s not that the fish scale tree is useless.

For example, this fish scale tree bears fruits that look like eels.

These fruits, after leaving the fish scale tree, become living eels and can be normally farmed in water.

Those eels are considered second-level spiritual fish.

However, this second-level spirit fish looks no different from farmed spirit fish on the surface.

In fact, these spirit fish carry a strange toxin.

This toxin is very secretive and is a chronic poison. If Yi Dong had not studied the power of the Tianhe River, he would not have discovered the existence of this poison, because this poison targets the soul.

Today, Xiu is afraid of polluting his soul, so he doesn’t even dare to contract one more spirit beast.

If you get poisoned by this, the consequences may be more troublesome than contracting a spirit beast.

After research, Yi Dong discovered that if the soul was poisoned by this toxin, there would be little hope for a Qi-refining cultivator to advance to the Great Dao and build a foundation.

However, this poison is poison to Jin Xiu, who cares about the purity of his soul.

But for ancient cultivators, it seems to be a treasure that can enhance their spiritual consciousness.

"There are some people in the Yi family who practiced Buddhist body-building exercises. Their spirits are very strong. Maybe we can let them eat some twisted eels to see if the fish-scale tree still retains the characteristics of the rare peach tree in the fairy palace."
