Tianyuan Xuanxian

Chapter 74 Unexpected Discovery
At this moment, Zhu Yin was covered in blood, his bones were broken, and his eight spider legs were torn into pieces. He was lying on his back deep in the cave, with blood oozing out of his mouth from time to time.

It can be said that at this moment Zhu Yin was indeed only breathing his last breath, otherwise he would have died long ago.

Chen Xuan's eyes suddenly turned red, and he shouted angrily:
"Come out quickly and heal him for me!"

As Chen Xuan finished speaking, an inexplicable energy spread out, and Zhu Yin's injuries recovered rapidly.

"Stop, stop fighting!"

Zhu Yin suddenly opened his eyes and screamed in fear. You could hear a slight tremor in his voice and his expression was full of fear.

At the same time, he dragged his broken body and stumbled backwards rapidly.

Seeing this scene, Chen Xuan's heart twitched violently, and endless guilt made his heart feel as if it was being cut by a knife.

He didn't expect that the Ten Thousand Demons Pool would injure Zhu Yin so seriously.

His original intention was just to beat Zhu Yin up, but this was just like a joke between friends, and he would stop there when it was enough.

But after entering the Ten Thousand Demons Pool, Chen Xuan, for some unknown reason, inexplicably gave the order to the Ten Thousand Demons Pool to leave it with only one breath.

It was not until this moment that Chen Xuan realized that there was something wrong with his emotions.

"When exactly is it!"

Chen Xuan's mind raced, and he subconsciously thought that some cultivator had cast a secret spell on him.

Chen Xuan's mind moved, and he first summoned out the gifts given by Zi Chen and others that were stored in the Ten Thousand Demons Pool one by one. After checking them carefully, he did not find any problems.

He knew very well that the methods of those who practiced cultivation were strange and unpredictable, and someone might have cursed him when he was not paying attention.

In desperation, Chen Xuan's spiritual sense probed into the sea of ​​consciousness.

As soon as he entered the sea of ​​consciousness, Chen Xuan immediately noticed something unusual.

The previous few times he entered the sea of ​​consciousness, there was nothing unusual here, but this time, he clearly felt a hint of chill in the sea of ​​consciousness.

This made him tremble all over and he hurriedly looked towards his sea of ​​consciousness.

I saw that in the originally clear sea of ​​consciousness, there were actually many black threads floating, and the coldness in the sea of ​​consciousness was emanating from these threads.

Chen Xuan immediately reached into his sea of ​​consciousness and grasped a silk thread.

But after the black line touched his palm, it began to flow into his body frantically.

Chen Xuan was horrified and subconsciously withdrew his hand.

He carefully examined his palm, but found nothing unusual.

This made Chen Xuan startled again, and he muttered to himself in a low voice:
"How could this be?"

Then he lowered his head and looked at the black lines again. After a moment, he suddenly discovered something and his pupils suddenly contracted.

Chen Xuan stretched out his hand, and a wisp of dark energy appeared in his palm.

Then Chen Xuan slowly injected the dark energy into his sea of ​​consciousness.

The moment the dark energy touched the surface of the sea, it immediately merged into the sea water.

At the same time, a black line extended from the place where the dark energy sank into the water, and it was exactly the same as the black lines originally suspended in the sea water.

"It's the Dark Qi!"

Chen Xuan was shocked. Although he didn't know why the dark energy appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness and why the scene in front of him appeared, he immediately understood that his emotional changes were definitely caused by the influence of the dark energy.

Chen Xuan suddenly remembered what Zhu Yin had said.

"Those who cultivate with the power of the underworld all have extremely dark personalities. They often don't recognize their own relatives and will kill people to silence them..." (Chapter 37 of the original text: The Judge)

Thinking of this, Chen Xuan's face immediately became extremely ugly, and he couldn't help but think:

"I've only just begun cultivating the Dark Qi, and I've already been affected to this extent. If this continues, I'm afraid that sooner or later I'll become the kind of cultivator Zhu Yin mentioned..."

Chen Xuan suddenly felt a sense of fear. By then, would he still be Chen Xuan, or a puppet after being completely eroded by the dark energy?
Looking at the black lines, Chen Xuan began to think about a solution, and suddenly an idea came to him.

"Since the spiritual energy and the dark energy can coexist in the Dantian, then this place..."

Chen Xuan shook his head and put the idea behind him. Even if this method was feasible, the dark energy in the sea of ​​consciousness would not disappear, and Chen Xuan could not guarantee that other accidents would not occur after injecting spiritual energy into the sea of ​​consciousness.

After thinking hard for a long time, Chen Xuan still couldn't come up with a solution. He had to give up for the time being and didn't intend to waste time here.

Right now, his emotions have not completely gotten out of control, so he still has time, but the outside world has no time.

He must improve his cultivation as quickly as possible to cope with the impending crisis.

Thinking of this, Chen Xuan's mind withdrew from the sea of ​​consciousness.

At this moment, all the injuries on Zhu Yin's body had healed. He was floating in front of Chen Xuan, using a spider leg dipped in some black juice to smear something on Chen Xuan's face.

"What are you doing?"

At this time, Chen Xuan's voice sounded beside Zhu Yin's ears. Zhu Yin froze in his tracks and quickly retracted his spider legs. He pretended to be calm and said:
"No... nothing, there was a mosquito on your face, and I was helping you get rid of it."

A smile appeared on Chen Xuan's lips. This was within the space of the Ten Thousand Demons Pool. Not to mention a mosquito, even a speck of dust could be spotted immediately by Chen Xuan.

But Chen Xuan did not expose Zhu Yin, because he knew the reason why Zhu Yin did this. Zhu Yin did this because he was worried that Chen Xuan would feel guilty after seeing him, which would cause a grudge between them.

Zhu Yin has been with Chen Xuan since the beginning. He knows Chen Xuan's character better than anyone else, and he has also witnessed the changes in Chen Xuan's personality over the past few days.

At that time in the place of inheritance, Yu Lingxiong and Li Xingyu made things difficult for Chen Xuan in front of the Mengpo Soup stall, but Chen Xuan never had the intention to kill them.

But after coming out of the place of inheritance, Chen Xuan brutally killed these two people. At that time, Zhu Yin already knew that the dark energy had begun to affect Chen Xuan's character.

Chen Xuan looked at Zhu Yin, and after a long silence, his expression became somewhat lonely, and he slowly said:

"Sorry……"

After saying that, Chen Xuan lowered his head and didn't dare to look up at Zhu Yin.

"Oh, no, no, this isn't it. Isn't this our lord of the Ten Thousand Demons Pond? How could you admit your mistake to a little demon in the Qi training stage?"

Seeing Chen Xuan's look, Zhu Yin immediately became sarcastic and looked around at Chen Xuan.

After a while, seeing that Chen Xuan was still silent and had a guilty look on his face, Zhu Yin stopped teasing Chen Xuan and said seriously:

"How about it, have you thought of any solution?"

Hearing this, Chen Xuan raised his head and shook his head.

"No regrets?"

Hearing Zhu Yin's question, Chen Xuan was slightly stunned, and then shook his head again:

"No regrets!"

In Chen Xuan's opinion, no matter what he did in the past, there must have been reasons for it at that time.

Looking at yesterday's events with today's eyes is to pave the way for tomorrow with yesterday's events, not to let today's self be deeply trapped in them.

"So what are your plans next?"

Zhu Yin's voice rang out again. He was very curious about how Chen Xuan would resolve the current situation next.

"Let's take it one step at a time. I do have a destination in mind, but for now, I'd better be the leader of this sect. I haven't held such a high position since I was a child, so I have to enjoy it!"

Seeing that Chen Xuan did not reveal his next plan, Zhu Yin curled his lips and said unhappily:

"Then you can go and satisfy your desire to be an official. I haven't tempered my bloodline for quite some time. I'll do some retreat to break through to the foundation-building stage first."

Hearing this, Chen Xuan subconsciously glanced at Zhu Yin's information. He had completed the ninth level of Qi training and had 40% of the Half-Sky Dog bloodline.

Zhu Yin originally had only 30% of Tengu bloodline, but after he was resurrected in the Tengu blood pool, his bloodline increased to 45%.

You know, in other places, it is an extremely long process for the demon race to temper their blood, and the amount of natural treasures consumed during this period is countless.

After being resurrected in the Ten Thousand Demons Pool, Zhu Yin's blood concentration suddenly increased by 15%, completely transforming him.

After Zhu Yin entered the Heavenly Dog Blood Pool, Chen Xuan's mind moved, and his figure appeared again on the cushion in the cave.

Looking up and glancing around, Chen Xuan breathed a sigh of relief as he saw that no one had been there.

He first moved his mind, and the Ten Thousand Demons Pool appeared in his hand. Then the lid of the Ten Thousand Demons Pool opened a gap, and a powerful suction force sucked away all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the cave.

Afterwards, even the spiritual spring in front of Chen Xuan was not spared, and all of it was taken into the space of the Ten Thousand Demons Pool.

Ever since the Yin-Yang Dantian was created, every time Chen Xuan wanted to break through, he had to absorb spiritual energy and dark energy at the same time, otherwise the Dantian would be unbalanced due to too much of one and too little of the other.

There is still a large amount of dark energy in the space of the Ten Thousand Demons Pool that was previously absorbed in the inheritance place. Although it seems to be a lot, according to Chen Xuan's own speculation, these dark energies can only support his cultivation to the foundation-building stage at most.

At that time, I will need to find other ways to attract the dark energy, or find a place with dark energy.

Otherwise, you will be trapped in the early stage of foundation building forever.

Fortunately, when he reached the foundation-building stage, he could practice the "Art of Soul Refining in the Underworld" that he had obtained from the place of inheritance.

This martial arts book contains a method to draw in the dark energy, but Chen Xuan finds this method a little difficult to accept.

As all the water in the spiritual spring sank into the Ten Thousand Demons Pool, a large pit about four or five meters square appeared on the ground.

The bottom of the pit is covered with dense stalactites, and water flows out from the cracks in the rocks, which shows that there is a spring under the cracks.

Soon, a layer of spiritual spring water accumulated at the bottom of the pool.

At this moment, Chen Xuan's eyes focused, and a stalactite at the bottom of the spiritual spring caught his attention.

The stalactites at the bottom of the spring are all naturally formed, of varying lengths, and covered with irregular holes.

Moreover, these stalactites appear in groups.

But there is only one stalactite standing alone in the center of the spring. Although its appearance is not very regular, it can be vaguely seen to be in the shape of a tower.

Upon closer inspection, the weathering holes on this stone are extremely shallow and do not appear to be naturally formed. Several inconspicuous areas clearly show signs of human excavation.

This made Chen Xuan very curious. He immediately stretched out his hand and aimed it at the tower-shaped stalactite, and a suction force came out from his palm.

The stone floated directly towards Chen Xuan's palm, and its bottom was not connected to the ground, as if someone had placed it there.
