All that could be seen was a shallow riverbed.

The three-headed, nearly ten-zhang-long, dark-colored, and horned Qinglin Crocodile was basking in the sun.

"One mid-stage Tier 2 head, two early-stage Tier 2 heads..."

Zhu Yu used his divine sense to capture the flowing energy in the air. With a slight thought, he turned to Cai Ling and transmitted his voice, "Cai Ling, can you stop them from going into the water? Ju Feng wants to test the power of the divine ability he obtained."

"it is good."

Cai Ling nodded proudly, flapped her wings, and a crimson rainbow light fell like lightning. Before the three blue-scaled crocodiles could react, a crimson barrier appeared beside the river, emanating an aura that terrified them.

"roar..."

The three blue-scaled crocodiles stood up simultaneously, letting out threatening growls. Their bodies emitted a dazzling aquamarine light, and a vast amount of water vapor gathered, instantly condensing into a dense storm of water blades that shot towards the crimson barrier.

Boom...

A series of booming sounds resounded as the crimson barrier trembled under the attack of the water blades, as if it would shatter at any moment. But when the water blades disappeared and the mist cleared, the crimson barrier still stood firmly on the riverbank.

"sharp..."

Zhu Yu sincerely praised.

Cai Ling proudly raised her head, her crimson pupils glancing sideways at Zhu Yu, signaling that he could make his move.

Zhu Yu nodded slightly, but he did not fall down.

He was confident that the Azure-Scaled Crocodile would have little chance of breaking his "Immaculate Crystal Spirit Body," but who wants to be beaten?

With a slight thought, Zhu Yu felt the "Purifying True Flame" residing within his body flow out through his pores, gathering in his palm as a ball of illusory, transparent flame, which he then gently raised.

"go."

Under his divine control, the "Purifying True Flame" split into three balls, which twisted and transformed into three miniature illusory birds resembling phoenixes. Their wings fluttered as they fell rapidly.

Meanwhile, the blue-scaled crocodile attacking the crimson barrier on the riverbank seemed to sense the threat, raising its head to look up at the sky, its blood-red eyes, filled with savage chaos, fixed on the little bird transformed by the "Purifying Flame".

Roar...

An angry roar resounded, and countless water blades quickly condensed, transforming into three enormous water blade tornadoes that shot into the sky, instantly engulfing the three "Purifying Flames".

High above the heavens.

Seeing this, Zhu Yu was not surprised but delighted, laughing, "You're really courting death..."

The words fell.

The head of the water blade tornado suddenly collapsed and turned into ordinary water droplets. Then, as if a chain reaction occurred, the three water blade tornadoes collapsed from top to bottom and turned into ordinary water.

next moment.

The water burst open with a roar.

Three illusory phoenixes, each the size of a person, flew out and landed directly on the three-headed azure-scaled crocodile. They disintegrated with a bang, turning into transparent flames that resembled viscous liquid, which then seeped into the crocodile's scales, flesh, and pores.

Before the "Purifying Flame".

The flesh, blood, bones, and spiritual energy of the Green-Scaled Crocodile are transformed into nutrients, like ice melting into water, to strengthen its body.

Roar...

The intense pain of flesh and bone being eroded caused the three-headed blue-scaled crocodile to roar furiously, frantically channeling its spiritual power towards the "Purifying True Flame" to briefly suppress it.

But if the "Purifying Flame" were so easy to extinguish...

The "Purifying White Fox" is not a "true spirit," and it cannot break the name of "Purifying the World."

The "Purifying Flame" was only suppressed for a moment before it quickly adapted to the Azure Scale Crocodile's spiritual power and swiftly turned back, turning its spiritual power into fuel to devour it. Then, it burned and devoured the crocodile's flesh and spirit even more fiercely.

Roar...

The intense pain caused the blue-scaled crocodile to roar furiously, its body tumbling and twisting, causing the surrounding earth and rocks to surge and rumble incessantly for a kilometer.

As time went by.

The three-headed blue-scaled crocodile's voice gradually weakened, its physique visibly shrank, and its aura plummeted.

After a while.

On the desolate riverbank, three green-scaled crocodiles, resembling mummified corpses, trembled for a moment before exploding into dust. Three wisps of "purifying flames," each the size of a human head, floated out from them.

Despite knowing the power of the "Purifying Flame," Zhu Yu was still shocked that it could burn and kill three second-tier ferocious beasts in such a short time.

"Is this the power of the 'True Spirit' supernatural ability...?"

Looking at the three "Purifying Flames", he glanced in other directions and a strange thought suddenly occurred to him.

"Why don't we use the 'Purifying Flame' to burn all these weeds and wild animals? It'll be clean and perfect for creating a garden..."

The moment the thought arose, a blocking message came through, like a splash of ice water, jolting him awake.

[Warning: Unknown radiation detected...]

[Warning: Unknown radiation detected, now blocked...]

at the same time.

The "Purifying Flame," which was slowly flying towards the sky, paused and suddenly hovered in mid-air.

At this time.

Cai Ling, who had been watching the "Purifying Flame" intently, suddenly said, "Ju Feng, don't drive it anymore." It thought for a moment, then said seriously, "The 'Flame' is a ferocious beast; it eats insects..."

"Um?"

Zhu Yu snapped out of his daze, looked at Cai Ling's serious expression, felt a warmth in his heart, and replied earnestly, "Okay, Ju Feng will listen to Cai Ling."

Cai Ling proudly raised her head and turned away, refusing to look at him again.

Zhu Yu smiled and raised his hand, summoning the "Purifying Flame" to his side. He examined it for a few moments, his expression thoughtful.

"A 'Purifying White Fox' who ascended to the True Spirit Realm but unexpectedly perished seeks to be reborn in another's body?"

With his current knowledge, that's all he can guess.

If his guess is true, then this "Pure World White Fox" is blinded by greed, and with the "Eye of True Sight," it will never be able to come back to life.

Zhu Yu shook his head slightly, clearing his mind of distractions, and absorbed the "Purifying True Flame" into his body.

next moment.

The "Purifying Flame" surged forth with a warm current like a tide, spreading throughout his body and constantly cleansing his physique.

Zhu Yu felt as if he were in a hot spring, with a tingling and comfortable sensation all over his body. He also sensed that the warm current was improving his physique and enhancing his spiritual power in all aspects.

It lasted for several dozen breaths.

As the warm current dried up and disappeared, a feeling of wanting to slumber and transform into a new age rose in my heart.

"hiss..."

Zhu Yu's eyes lit up. He took a light breath, temporarily suppressing the feeling of his dormant metamorphosis stage, and turned to look at Cai Ling, saying, "Cai Ling, Ju Feng has eaten the essence of the Azure Scale Crocodile and is about to undergo metamorphosis. Have you decided what kind of destiny seed you want to nurture?"

Cai Ling looked at it in surprise, thought about it seriously, and replied, "Fire date."

"it is good."

Zhu Yu nodded gently, flapped its wings and flew down, circling the sacred land of Baishui River once.

Its area is roughly equivalent to a city in his previous life. Most importantly, the spiritual energy of the Baishui River spiritual land is as rich as that of a second-tier spiritual vein, enough to support a "mountain lord" level spiritual seed.

This is such a large sacred site.

In the future, there will not only be enough to support the growth of his life, but also enough to create many gardens.

After examining the area and leaving behind his scent, Zhu Yu and Cai Ling returned to Jufeng Mountain.

Relocation is simple.

However, cultivating such a large area of ​​spiritual land is not easy.

Zhu Yu was in no hurry. He nurtured the top-grade water-attribute spirit plant "Sea Heart Begonia," the gift Hua Ling had given him, into a "life seed" and then went into a dormant period of transformation.

have to say.

The nourishment provided by "Purifying Flame" is of the highest quality.

Only seven days.

Without any unexpected events, he smoothly transformed into the second-year "Great Winged Wasp" mountain master, his spiritual power doubled, his physique was enhanced in all aspects, and his strength greatly increased.

a moment.

Zhu Yu's mind truly conjured up the image of the "Moon Gazing Plain," not because of the "Purifying Flame," but because his strength had increased too rapidly and in all aspects, far surpassing the effects of consuming spiritual energy food.

But he quickly suppressed the thought.

His main purpose in coming here was not to improve his strength, but to create a spiritual land rich in resources to support his cultivation.

Focusing solely on improving one's skills is putting the cart before the horse.

After clarifying the situation, Zhu Yu led his good neighbors to "Baishui River" to focus on developing the sacred land of Baishui River.

Immortal Tomb and Spirit Ruins.

Zhu Yu played with the magical talismans he had obtained from the lords "Sea Siren Ulva" and "Fire Palace Flower," and while feeling delighted, he couldn't help but exclaim, "The 'Insect Realm' is truly my treasure trove!"

-

In his perception, the "Divine Power Talisman" made by the "Fire Palace Flower" lord was slightly weaker, while the "Divine Power Talisman" made by the "Sea Siren Ulva" lord was no less powerful than the "Divine Power Talisman" made by the "Azure Cliff" little ancestor using a certain piece of his body, and was even slightly stronger.

The three supernatural talismans are different.

The "Fire Palace Flower" lord's magical talisman is a fire-attribute magical power.

The "Sea Serpent Queen" lord's supernatural power is a special illusionary supernatural power.

"Qingji Xiaozu's" supernatural power is a sealing type of supernatural power.

Seeing that he obtained two "supernatural talismans" with almost no cost, Zhu Yu's confidence in cultivating the "insect world" was further strengthened.

Without hesitation, he released the ten thousand divine soul particles he had gathered over the past few days into the "divine body". With these "divine soul particles", it would be enough to support the "divine body" to transform into a mountain lord of the ninth age, without worrying about losing control of the physical body.

After doing all this.

Zhu Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking of something else.

True spirit, "Purifying White Fox".

It wasn't that he was wary, but rather that he had started to think about it.

"True Spirit".

Upon reaching adulthood, they are comparable to "Primordial Spirit Dao Lords" and have a high probability of breaking through to the "Immortal Realm".

Just thinking about it makes one's mouth water.

It's a pity that "Purifying Flame" isn't a true spirit cub, otherwise it would have really hit the jackpot.

Then he thought of Cai Ling.

The fact that it was able to detect something amiss with the "Purifying True Flame" suggests that its bloodline must be extraordinary. Even if it's not a pure-blooded "True Spirit," it probably still contains the bloodline of a "True Spirit."

"Forget it, don't bite off more than you can chew—"

Zhu Yu thought for a moment, then stopped worrying about his distracted brother and looked at the other two items.

A palm-sized jade lotus.

A piece of blood-stained cloth.

In my perception, both items contain a grand will, similar to the "supernatural talisman," and are both in a state of waiting to be activated.

Zhu Yu reached out and grabbed the jade lotus, its surface stained with blood but unblemished, and silently recited in his heart, "Establish a model and analyze the inherited methods contained within."

next moment.

A message appeared.

[Analysis progress of "Azure Lotus Sword Scripture" is 1%, estimated analysis time is 1/30.]

[Analysis progress of "Three Knives of Avici Hell" is "1%", estimated analysis time is "1/30"]

"Thirty days—"

Zhu Yu nodded in satisfaction, his eyes revealing a hint of expectation.

This is a third-tier inheritance.

Even if it is a legacy from another realm, its value is still extremely high.

In particular, he possesses the "Eye of True Sight." If it can be interpreted as being able to cultivate even in the "Immortal Tomb and Spirit Ruins," it will definitely cause his strength to surge dramatically, and by a significant margin.

"It's about time to take action and eliminate 'Mi Zhenren' and his gang—"

Zhu Yu suppressed the turbulent thoughts in his mind, closed his eyes and focused his mind, connecting his spirit with the "Ghost Realm" split point.

The Realm of Ghosts.

Blackwater Mountains, Qingyang Temple.

Zhu Yu slowly opened her eyes and said softly, "Can we make our move now—?"

The dimly lit Qingyang Temple suddenly lit up. The two golden boy and jade girl, who looked like they had stepped out of a New Year's painting, who had been sleeping soundly outside the door, opened their eyes, revealing a pair of dark gray pupils. They looked at each other, their mouths turned into a smile, and they let out a silvery laugh.

He jumped up and ran to the sedan chair in the courtyard.

Zhu Yu stepped out of the hall, raised his hand and summoned the "Ten Thousand Souls Banner" that was stuck in the courtyard. With one step, it turned into black smoke and flowed into the sedan chair.

whee--

The boy and girl, laughing and joking, carried the sedan chair, their steps light as the wind, leaping over the courtyard wall and swiftly heading down the mountain.

And not long after they left.

The brightly lit Taoist temple suddenly turned dark, and the brand-new courtyard walls faded like a canvas, becoming mottled and old. A cold wind howled, swirling up withered branches and leaves.

At this time.

Suddenly, billowing black energy emerged from the tall locust tree standing before the Taoist temple, condensing into a powerful vortex that devoured the overwhelming and eerie energy gathering from the surrounding area.

As time went by.

At a certain moment, the aura of the locust tree reached its peak. With a cracking sound, a fissure suddenly appeared in the center of the locust tree trunk, from which gushed blood.

Click, click—

The cracks in the locust tree trunk grew wider and wider, and blood gushed out from them like it was free, until one moment, a pale hand reached out from the crack and clung to its edge.

Then came another sharp crack, and another pale hand reached out and gripped the other side of the crack.

He then struggled with his arm.

thump--

With a gush of blood, a creature resembling a newborn infant fell from the crack, headfirst onto the ground and rear end up in the air. It struggled to its feet, revealing a chubby, white face with bloodshot eyes.

He grinned, revealing a set of sharp fangs. After adjusting to the sight, he looked at Qingyang Temple, a human-like fear appearing on his face. He hesitated for a moment, then turned and jumped up, transforming into billowing black smoke and disappearing into the darkness.

And after the baby left.

The massive locust tree seemed to have endured millions of years in an instant; a gentle breeze swept by, and it instantly turned into powder, scattering across the ground.

It is a hundred miles away from Black Wind Mountain.

Moved by what he felt, Zhu Yu opened his eyes, lifted the curtain, and wisps of black smoke entered the sedan chair, transforming into a blood-red-eyed infant.

He paused for a moment, then clapped his hands and laughed loudly, "Good, good, good! From now on, you will be my eldest disciple, Qingyangzi!"

yah-

The baby crawled in mid-air, babbling softly.

"My good disciple, come here, let your master show you a treasure—"

Zhu Yu smiled gently and waved to the blood-eyed infant.

The baby tilted its head and looked at him for a while, its mouth stretching to its ears, babbling happily, and then buried its head in his arms.

click-

Zhu Yu's smile froze, then vanished. She raised her hand, grabbed the baby by the neck, and lifted it up.

The infant's mouth was swollen as it chewed incessantly, while a hole appeared in Zhu Yu's chest, exposing dark flesh and bones.

"Come, my precious apprentice, look at your master's treasure—"

Zhu Yu's dark and cold eyes stared at the infant. He shook the "Ten Thousand Souls Banner," and with a clear bell sound, billowing black energy surged out, instantly sealing off the sedan chair space.

The infant sensed danger, its eyes flashing with a fierce light, and its pale skin quickly turned bluish-black, emanating the eerie aura of "blood travel".

Before it could make a move, the surface of the "Ten Thousand Souls Banner" surged, and a large, azure hand reached out from it, grabbed the infant, and pulled him into the banner with a sudden force.

The banners surged.

Beneath the distorted ape pattern, a twisted infant pattern with small horns on its head and sickle-like claws writhes incessantly.

From the outermost old house pattern, a thin thread extended, reaching the infant pattern, lashed out twice, and dragged a leg back to the house.

The patterns on the courtyard became clearer, and a woman's image faintly appeared in the courtyard, but it was sometimes visible and sometimes hidden, somewhat unstable.
