Chapter 252: Heavenly Illusionary Dao Bone
"When the soul entered that giant mouth, it was disintegrated by a terrifying force... Consciousness dissipated, and the soul was annihilated."
"And so, Xiao Youmei... perished!"
……
in the hall.
Yang Jiuli's eyes flashed, and he took a deep breath.
My mind is restless.
"The souls of all the fox clan cultivators... were drawn into the high sky..." Yang Jiuli murmured.
Even though the Three Lives Stone could wash away the effects of witnessing others' lives, he still couldn't find peace.
I can never forget those eyes that seemed to disregard the world and its people.
I can never forget that terrifying, all-encompassing power.
It's hard to imagine what kind of person could swallow all the cultivators from a fourth-tier power in one gulp.
Especially before Xiao Youmei's soul was annihilated, she sensed the aura of a Nascent Soul True Monarch.
"Was it the Nascent Soul True Monarch who was swallowed up?" Yang Jiuli murmured.
If it were a Nascent Soul True Monarch making a move against an enemy, there would obviously be no need for the Nascent Soul to leave the body.
After all, once the nascent soul leaves the body and is injured by external forces, it will severely damage the foundation of one's Dao.
Nascent Soul cultivators will not easily leave their bodies to fight unless absolutely necessary.
After taking a few deep breaths, Yang Jiuli finally recovered from the life of "Xiao Youmei".
"Even a Nascent Soul True Monarch cannot protect himself... It seems I must activate the reincarnation progress interface of the Three Lives Stone as soon as possible."
Yang Jiuli pondered to himself.
With a thought, he looked at the Three Lives Stone.
At this moment, the Three Lives Stone has three faces.
On the first side, a faint light appeared in the already dim area.
It also shows a progress: 7%.
That change occurred after the original Qi of the Azure Wood was refined at the Three Lives Stone on the Primordial Star years ago.
In the years that followed, Yang Jiuli also used the Three Lives Stone to refine a lot of spiritual essence, but made no progress.
Therefore, he did not prioritize improving the progress.
After all, he had never seen a spiritual object of the caliber of 'Origin of Green Wood' in his previous life for hundreds of years.
Now he is just a minor cultivator, how could he possibly make contact with him?
Having witnessed the annihilation of the Heavenly Illusion Snow Fox Clan in an instant, Yang Jiuli felt a greater sense of crisis.
I have come to a profound realization of how important it is to light up the Three Lives Stone and have another chance to be reborn.
"The world of cultivation is ever-changing, and no one knows whether they can attain immortality. This chance of rebirth undoubtedly provides an escape route."
Yang Jiuli pondered to himself.
Then, he withdrew his mind from his sea of consciousness, his gaze shifted, and he stepped onto the steps, looking at the throne before him.
"Truly worthy of being an immortal Golden Core level figure... Even after countless years of demise, his immortal body remains immortal..."
With a flick of his hand, Yang Jiuli pulled out a storage ring from the fox demon's fingertip.
At the same time, the demon fox also flashed and was swept into a storage bag and frozen.
Immediately, Yang Jiuli infiltrated his divine sense into Xiao Youmei's storage ring.
The storage space is very large, covering an area of 100 meters in diameter.
There are many spiritual essences and elixirs among them.
The demon race also has alchemists.
In addition, they also go to the human race to exchange for elixirs.
With his divine sense, he could see that the seals and restrictions on some of the medicine bottles had already dimmed and were clearly ineffective.
Some of the pills, once removed, had become dull and gray.
It is obvious that these medicinal herbs have lost their medicinal properties due to their age.
Upon seeing this, Yang Jiuli frowned slightly.
In fact, when Xiao Youmei's soul was captured, he also saw spiritual energy surging out of the demon's storage ring.
Clearly, those restrictions were also affected.
Not only that, even some of the magical artifacts among them had lost their luster.
"Is it because of the passage of time... that the spiritual essence of the magical treasures has disappeared... or did that powerful figure directly devour the spiritual essence of these magical treasures?" Yang Jiuli murmured. He couldn't find out the specifics, and could only withdraw his divine sense with a heart full of regret.
However, just as he withdrew his divine sense, his gaze suddenly shifted and locked onto a jade box inside his storage ring.
Inside, he vaguely sensed a fluctuation of demonic energy.
Though faint, it truly exists.
Suddenly, he remembered something.
Having experienced the life of "Xiao Youmei", Yang Jiuli knew exactly what was inside the storage ring.
With a thought, the jade box flew out of the storage ring.
Then, with a flick of his hand, the box opened.
A smooth, jade-like bone was revealed inside.
On this skeleton, special Dao patterns manifested, radiating a wave of demonic power.
"There is still a wisp of true spirit that has not dissipated..." Upon seeing this, Yang Jiuli was overjoyed.
"As expected of a near-fourth-tier 'Dao Bone'..."
This smooth, jade-like bone was none other than the 'Dao Bone' left behind by a near-fourth-tier Nascent Soul Realm demon of the Fox Clan after his passing.
The so-called "Dao Bone" is because it contains the "prototype of the Dao" that is the inherited talent of the clan.
This kind of "Daoist bone" is something that even a Golden Core level demon cannot condense.
Only those quasi-Nascent Soul cultivators with exceptional talent and extraordinary bloodlines can have such good fortune.
"If this bone is refined, the power of the 'innate divine ability' within it can be activated," Yang Jiuli murmured.
"This trip has been quite fruitful!" He glanced at the little fox beside him.
At this moment, the little fox blinked its jewel-like eyes at Yang Jiuli, its honest face making it quite adorable.
"A snow fox..." Yang Jiuli's heart skipped a beat when he saw the little fox in front of him. He thought to himself, "Judging from the little guy's physical characteristics, he is nine-tenths similar to the fox clan of Tianhuan Snow Fox Valley... Could it be that the Tianhuan Snow Fox clan has not yet become extinct?"
He was surprised.
Although countless fox clan cultivators in the valley had their souls devoured in the past, some fox clan members inevitably remained outside, preserving their bloodline.
However, Yang Jiuli was quite surprised that the fox had survived to this day and even found this secret place.
"It seems I'll have to find an opportunity to enter the little fox's soul sea and investigate further!" Yang Jiuli thought to himself.
Only in this way can we determine whether there are still powerful beings in the fox clan.
Otherwise, if he were to take the immortal body of the fox clan's ancestor and awaken its true spirit one day, it would likely bring disaster.
"Little one, you've done a great job this time. When you break through to the next level, I'll definitely do my best to find you some spiritual items!"
As he pondered this, Yang Jiuli pulled himself out of his thoughts, squatted down, and patted the little fox's head.
Then, he took out a second-tier 'Snow Spirit Mushroom' and handed it to the little guy.
"Ah!" Upon seeing this, the little fox squinted its eyes and let out a soft "ah" with a face full of joy, seemingly pleased by the human's affirmation.
For example, the results of one's work have been recognized.
Then, it opened its mouth and swallowed the 'Snow Lingzhi'.
"Let's go!" Yang Jiuli said, and then returned the way he came. "This place always gives me a strange feeling. I'll wait until I have more strength before I come back to explore it!" Although the spiritual energy here is rich, it always gives him an extremely dangerous feeling.
Whenever he thought of those indifferent eyes in the sky, he felt a chill run down his spine and didn't want to stay there for even a moment longer.
After all, it can devour the souls of all living beings with a single open mouth, leaving no chance for anyone to escape.
Who can remain calm?
……
The next day, early in the morning.
Yang Jiuli returned to Lingxi Peak in the Nanling Mountains.
He stepped out of the cave and brewed a pot of tea in the pavilion overlooking the abyss outside the courtyard.
Watching the clouds drift and the sea of mist in the mountains, I couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"We cultivators are like people in the mountains, shrouded in a sea of mist. Although we have our own world, we don't know what vast universe lies beyond the heavens... Is there another blue sky beyond the Milky Way?" he murmured, his vision no longer limited to one place.
This trip to the secret realm broadened his horizons, far beyond what he had gained in his previous life.
He thought that the hidden fourth-tier immortal sect, "Nanyun Sect," had already broadened his horizons.
Who would have thought that there was an even older fourth-tier immortal sect, "Heavenly Illusion Snow Fox Valley"?
In the era of "Xiao Youmei", Nanling was called Yunze.
There, you'll find not only the fourth-tier immortal sect, "Heavenly Illusion Snow Fox Valley".
Furthermore, two fourth-tier immortal sects, the Xuan Yin Sect and the Wan Chong Valley, are located here.
In Xiao Youmei's life, there was no such fourth-tier immortal sect as the Nanyun Sect.
Clearly, the two sects did not belong to the same era.
A region...
However, it buried two eras of fourth-tier immortal sects.
There are too many secrets waiting to be discovered.
There is also a great fear lurking behind.
Even though Yang Jiuli had lived through several lifetimes and experienced many storms, he was already calm and composed when faced with trouble.
However, he had no choice but to leave that secret realm immediately and come to the outside world to have a cup of tea and calm his nerves.
For seven consecutive days.
Yang Jiuli drinks tea and tastes wine.
He also summoned Ye Xiyu to play the zither and refined several second-tier pills.
He gradually suppressed the turmoil in his heart.
He regained that calm and composed state of mind.
His Daoist heart gradually recovered.
Inside Yang Jiuli's alchemy room.
It was made from a batch of second-tier "Cleansing Heart and Eliminating Miasma Pills".
The alchemy furnace was opened, and a fragrant aroma filled the air.
There are five high-quality pills with two distinct patterns inside.
Yang Jiuli rolled up the elixir, put it into a jade box, and sealed it.
Then, he flicked his hand, rolling the pill in front of Ye Xiyu beside him.
"Take this pill and sell it. Use the proceeds to buy me some second-tier gold essence..." Yang Jiuli said.
"Yes!" Ye Xiyu accepted the jade box and stood aside, waiting for Yang Jiuli's instructions, appearing quite obedient.
Yang Jiuli looked at Ye Xiyu, and suddenly his heart stirred slightly. He glanced at the latter's clear eyes again.
"One Yin, one Yang, the Two Spirit Eyes..." Yang Jiuli murmured, as a memory manifested in his mind.
He still remembered that in his previous life, through the talisman seed, he had seen this spiritual eye while observing the life of "Xiao Youmei".
That was none other than the Nascent Soul stage True Monarch from the Heavenly Illusion Snow Fox Clan, the Tai Xuan Yin Yang Two Elements True Monarch.
"The same region... yet two 'Two Yin-Yang Spirit Eyes' have emerged... is it a coincidence?" Yang Jiuli wondered to himself.
He gently stroked his chin, and when he looked at the woman, a strange look appeared in his eyes.
Seeing Mr. Yang scrutinizing her like this, Ye Xiyu's cheeks flushed slightly, and she lowered her head secretly.
But a hint of secret delight flickered in her eyes. A glance from the corner of her eye revealed, "Has Mr. Yang finally seen the light?"
She was overjoyed, but dared not say much, fearing that she might anger him and be unable to stay by his side in the future.
Upon their first meeting, Ye Xiyu noticed that Yang Jiuli seemed to have some extraordinary abilities.
However, he repeatedly evaded the matter concerning Ye Cangliu.
This disappointed Ye Xiyu, who thought he was timid and cowardly.
He was just an ordinary person.
The 'Fiend Blade' invaded Lingxi Peak and then mysteriously disappeared.
Ye Cangliu and his son also died mysteriously.
Ye Xiyu then realized that she had made a huge mistake.
original.
Mr. Yang truly did not want to get involved in worldly affairs.
Worldly possessions, temporary power, or even the embrace of a beautiful woman cannot disturb his mind.
