After three consecutive blood cell temperings, Yun Ao just stopped, and Wu Gen's bones were already covered with a light layer of yellow.
Lying half-dead on the ground, Wu Gen had already scolded this old man thousands of times in his heart. And there is another terrifying thing. Wu Gen found that his cultivation level was plummeting. After the continuous fighting in Dayizhou, he had already reached the perfection of the third realm, but now he was in the early stage and almost fell back to the second realm.
"What's going on? What method did you use on me? Why did my cultivation deteriorate to such an extent?" Wu Gen couldn't help but panic and asked Yun Ao loudly.
"Your bones are extremely weak. After tempering with you this time, you will never be the same as before. Naturally, your original superficial cultivation cannot support your current bones.
From now on, each level you advance to will be far more difficult than others, and you will need several times more accumulation than before to break through. In this way, the foundation will be laid more solidly, and combined with the method of golden body, it is not impossible to fight the enemy across borders. "Yun Ao is quite satisfied with his work, and it's hard to say more.
"But no one taught me the method of golden body. Your juniors are very stingy and refuse to teach the secrets. They are not as generous as your seniors." Wu Gen looked angry, but he was secretly proud in his heart. He had such a master to help him lay a solid foundation. In the future, the road to martial arts will be much broader. It would be great if I could master the method of golden body again.
Yun Ao was silent for a long time, but then he explained: "This golden body method is heavy on the bones, but the method of application is simple. The juniors are a little too precious about their own brooms." With a flick of his finger, a gust of wind flew to Wu Gen'er. Bian told him how to use the golden body.
In fact, it is simple to say, the method of golden body is not a skill. The most important thing is to be tempered by the wind, earth, water and fire in the space of the secret realm, to reshape the human body and increase the upper limit of the physical body. This is like using the strange environment and materials in the secret realm to rebuild the Huagaotang mansion that was originally a small hut. The house is so big that it is not easy to fill it up.
When facing an enemy, one can use the Li Clan's secret method to release all the hidden cultivation level, which can quickly improve one's level in a short period of time, thereby achieving the purpose of defeating the enemy.
After carefully studying this secret method, Wu Gen found that its usage was very crude and rough, which was in line with Li Ren's nature. If combined with the Nine-Level Heart-Severing Technique, it could have a miraculous effect.
Yun Ao pointed at the gray mist in the distance, "With your cultivation, you actually dare to enter the gray mist. Boy, for the sake of old friends, I will create a passage for you to leave quickly. Don't break into the gray world again." .”
The strange space here is called the Gray Realm. Wu Gen's heart moved and he cautiously said, "Senior Yun, can you send us across this big lake?"
"What are you doing across the lake?" Yun Ao asked coldly.
"To be honest, senior, we are here to look for the Taichu Stone. I wonder if there is such a thing on the other side of the lake." Wu Gen quickly explained the purpose of his trip.
"We're here to look for the Taichu Stone again. You humans are really hateful. You're like ants, killing them endlessly. Since you are also such a selfish person, don't blame me for being rude." Yun Ao suddenly became angry and stretched out his hand to grab it. , Wu Gen and Shui Congyue fell into his hands and were grabbed by the throat.
Wu Gen's face was red, and he struggled to speak: "Senior, please be merciful, I have violated some taboos in searching for the Taichu Stone. We really don't know the reason, and we ask senior to clarify the confusion. It will not be too late to kill him after he has made it clear."
Yun Ao snorted coldly, threw Wu Gen and Shui Congyue to the ground, pointed at the blood lake behind him and asked, "Do you know the origin of this lake?"
Wu Gen thought to himself, would he still come here if he knew this? He quickly shook his head.
"This blood is all left by the tribes of the Great Relic Continent who died in the battle with the human race. I think back then, some people from your human race, relying on their advanced cultivation, sneaked into the Great Relic Continent to take away the Taichu Stone. I, the tribes of the Great Relic Continent, were angry. They resisted, and how many people lost their lives to protect the Taichu Stone. After death, their flesh and blood merge into this lake, and they must guard the Taichu Stone until their death." Yun Ao's voice became louder, and the flames in his eyes kept beating.
When Wu Gen heard this, he didn't understand why the natives of Dayizhou would prevent the human race from taking the Taichu Stone. "Senior, this Taichu Stone is related to the life and death of hundreds of millions of human beings. Why are they not allowed to be taken away? We really don't know the reason. Otherwise. , and will not tell senior the truth."
Yun Ao saw that his expression didn't seem to be fake, so his tone softened a little, "The life and death of your human race is important. If you succeed, you can risk the lives of all the tribes in my Great Relic Continent."
Regardless? ” After saying that, he explained the reason to Wu Gen.
It turns out that this great primary stone can not only eliminate negative energy, but also dispel spiritual energy, but it is also the foundation for the survival of the Great Relic Continent.
The Great Relic Continent is surrounded by powerful formations that can resist the entry of spiritual energy and negative energy. This Taichu Stone is the center of the formation. Once this thing disappears, endless spiritual energy and adverse energy will flow in, which is tantamount to annihilation for the creatures in the continent.
The spiritual energy and negative energy that the human race and the dark race rely on to practice are extremely poisonous in the eyes of the natives of Dayizhou. That's why all the tribes in the Great Relic Continent will do everything possible to prevent the human race or the dark race from taking the Taichu Stone.
However, these secrets are only known to the older generation. Since the human race has not sent experts to the continent for many years, this secret has gradually been forgotten. Many of the younger generation in the Great Relic Continent were born after the last entrance was closed, and the reason is no longer clear.
There are many masters like Yun Ao in this blood lake who would rather melt their bodies into the lake and live dormantly in the blood lake in this form just to guard the Taichu Stone here.
Because Yun Ao entered the lake late and most of his seniors were asleep, he was the one who mostly came forward when there was any movement outside. At the bottom of this blood lake, there are countless old monsters with advanced cultivation hidden in it. Only when strong enemies arrive here will these old monsters swarm out.
After listening to Yun Ao's explanation, Wu Gen and Shui Cong looked at each other from the moon. It turned out that the Taichu Stone really existed and was so important to the Great Relic Continent. No wonder no one can take this thing away after all these years.
After hearing this, Wu Gen had the idea of giving up. I came here to look for the Taichu Stone with the idea of saving people, but I didn't want to see it as an evil thief in the eyes of Dayizhou. Of course, whether it is taking or guaranteeing, neither party is wrong in what they do, but their respective positions are different.
Regardless of whether the Taichu Stone can be taken away, even if it can be taken away, Wu Gen can't bear it. Is it really necessary to watch many living beings in the Great Relic Continent become extinct? Why should the life and death of one clan be sacrificed for the life of another clan?
After thinking about all this, Wu Gen decisively gave up his plan to find the Taichu Stone. It's not okay if you don't give up. With Yun Ao's strength, he can easily kill Wu Gen and others with one finger, not to mention there are so many masters in the lake.
After hearing that Wu Gen gave up the idea of searching for the Taichu Stone, Yun Ao calmed down and prepared to send a few people away from the gray mist.
At this moment, Yun Ao suddenly raised his head, as if listening to something. After a while, he turned his head, the flames in his eye sockets flickering on and off, "That's all, if you want to cross the lake, I won't stop you, I will send you across the lake."
Wu Gen blinked. He didn't know why Yun Ao suddenly changed his mind. Someone must have stepped in to explain it. This kind of person suddenly wants to let his party cross the lake, and he certainly doesn't have any good intentions.
"Senior, there is no need to be embarrassed. I have made up my mind to leave the gray world now. After listening to the teachings of my senior, I felt like I was drunk, and I have already repented. I also ask your senior to help us leave this place." Wu Gen looked determined, life and death. To leave the gray world.
"You have worked so hard to get here, don't you want to take a look at the Taichu Stone? Such an opportunity is really rare." Yun Ao quickly tried to persuade him, as if he was not the one who blocked him with his harsh words.
"If you don't want to, please ask senior to take action and send me away." Wu Gen said loudly, with a firm attitude.
"No, you have to go if you don't want to. If you don't go, I will kill you now." Yun Ao was a little anxious at this time. He stretched out his hand and a huge bone boat emerged from the lake. The boat moved automatically in the absence of wind, splitting the blood waves and arriving at the lake.
"Senior, why bother forcing me?" Wu Gen said angrily.
"Hmph, from the moment you step into the gray world, you have no way out. For the sake of my old friend, I don't need to force you. You should just get on the ship on your own. Life and death are determined by fate. It depends on your destiny." Yun Ao said and stood beside the boat.
Wu Gen and Shui Congyue looked at each other, "Forget it, we agree to get on the boat, but Senior Yun, how can we face each other when we see our old friends again in the future." After saying that, Wu Gen asked Shui Congyue to find the remaining people, while he himself It was a confrontation with Yun Aoqi.
The flames in Yun Ao's eye sockets dimmed a bit, but he remained silent.
After a while, Baoxiang and others, led by Shui Congyue, also arrived at the lake. As soon as they arrived at the lake, the faces of these people changed drastically. It was obvious that they could not bear the murderous attack, especially those dragon horses.
He has lost his mind and bites wildly.
Yun Ao waved his hand gently to block the murderous aura, and everyone calmed down. Under his supervision, they boarded the bone ship one by one. When everyone got on the boat, the boat shook and sailed towards the other side of the lake.
Looking at Yun Ao standing on the shore, Wu Gen suddenly felt that he was a little pitiful and a little respectable. The physical body melts into the blood lake, and the bones are detained here, guarding the Taichu Stone day after day. This situation is very similar to that of human race soldiers. In the eyes of humans, they are evil people. From the perspective of the creatures of the Great Relic Continent, he is a great hero who has a great heart and does not hesitate to sacrifice himself.
It turns out that the so-called great good in the world is like a copper coin, which cannot be said to be great evil when turned over.
In any case, this old guy gave him a lot of opportunities. Wu Gen sighed and waved at Yun Ao from afar. Suddenly, a string of yellow-white things flew from a distance and landed gently in Wu Gen's hands, but it was Yun Ao's tailbone.
Wu Gen raised his head in surprise. Yun Ao was willing to give the tail bone to him.
A whisper rang in Wu Gen's ears, "This bone has sealed three parts of my mana. It can be used to save my life when I am in danger. This can be regarded as my explanation to my old friend."
Putting his tailbone down, Wu Gen looked at Yun Ao who was gradually submerging into the lake, and turned his head sadly.
The boat was sailing on the big lake, with red light sparkling all around. Through the water surface broken by the boat hull, skeletons appeared underwater, floating silently from the deep water.
The phosphorus fire flickered in the dark eye sockets, and he stared silently at the roaring ship. Some of the skeletons were even larger than bone boats, and their bodies were covered with knife marks and sword marks. They had been killed countless times during their lifetimes.
The atmosphere on the boat was very depressing, and even Bao Xiang, who had always been out of control, became quiet. Wu Gen held on to the side of the boat and silently looked down at everything in front of him, his fingers stroking the white hull of the boat.
Shui Congyue walked up to Wu Gen and glanced at him, but said nothing and silently stood with him beside the boat.
"I know that I won't act rashly. Let's see how easy it is to get the Taichu Stone." Wu Gen naturally knew what Shui Congyue meant. If there was really a chance to take the Taichu Stone, would he take it or not? , this is really a difficult decision.
However, Wu Gen's mood improved immediately. He could suppress so many strong players in the lake. How powerful was the person who gave Yun Ao's orders? How could he, a little mouse, snatch the Taichu Stone from others? The most important thing right now is for the group of people to leave here safely. As for the Taichu Stone, let the taller person take it.
After driving for an hour, we finally arrived at the shore. Wu Gen and others hurriedly disembarked from the boat and quickly left the lake. With this ship here, we can still resist the murderous intent of the Blood Lake.
Some distance away from the shore, Wu Gen turned around and looked again. The bone boat had been submerged in the water, with only a little mast exposed. On the lake in the distance, there were waves.
