The hall fell into silence. The death of a Yuan Dan realm powerhouse was a huge loss to any family.
Although Gu Nian is just an elder of the guest family, after all, he has been in the Ma family for more than ten years, and everyone regards him as a member of the Ma family.
Ma Zhitian looked livid and said in a deep voice: "Arrange Duan Libo, Xue Han and Lu Qizhen to act together."
"Besides the three of them, do we need to send anyone else?" Ma Zhihai asked with a frown.
Ma Zhitian waved his hand and said, "No, if the three of them can't kill the two little beasts, then we have to make another plan. Now that the Jiang family is on the boat, they can also use some strength.
"What's more, Li Yaolong is missing now, and the Li family's mansion is empty, which shows that they have made arrangements for a long time. Except for the elder Ke Qing, our own Yuan Dan realm experts had better not act rashly."
Hearing this, the other three nodded.
"Should I inform the Jiang family now?" Ma Zhishan asked.
Ma Zhitian pondered for a moment and said calmly: "Let's check the situation first and give the three of them some time. If it doesn't work, come back and notify the Jiang family to take action together."
In his opinion, it was impossible for Li Yuan and Li Yunqing to kill Gu Nian. They most likely encountered a strong man who was hunting for treasure near the Qingzhai Mountains and had some conflict.
………
Among the mountains five hundred miles east of Yangyan City, under a cliff, there is a cave nearly ten feet high.
There are many rocks of different sizes piled up at the entrance of the cave, engraved with a locking formation composed of three elements. The cave is more than thirty feet deep.
Deep in the mountains, there are many caves of this size, and they are all places where large monsters have lived.
There have been no monsters living in this cave for a long time now.
In the cave, Li Yunqing looked at Li Yuan who was very weak. She was also very haggard. She hated that she could not be of any help, so she could only ask anxiously in a low voice: "Xiao Yuanzi, has there been any change in the Death Source Seal now? Why do you look so much weaker than before? Where do you feel uncomfortable? Does the injury on your arm still hurt?"
"I'm fine." Li Yuan shook his head slightly and responded softly.
"Ling, what do you need me to do now? Is it safe here?" Li Yunqing raised his eyes and looked at the small building floating next to him.
"You can't help. He has spirit patterns that eat his life bones, so he can handle it. I carved a three-dimensional air-locking formation at the entrance of the cave. It's safe for the time being and they can't trace it."
"Xiao Yuanzi, has there been any change in the bone in your body? Can it really solve the source of death seal?" Li Yunqing looked at Li Yuan and continued to ask.
Li Yuan touched his eyebrows: "Don't worry."
"Xiao Yuanzi, Ling, don't lie to me. Can the spirit pattern of life-eating bones really solve this problem?" Although Li Yunqing believed in Ling, Li Yuan's cultivation level was too low after all. The other party was a strong man in the Yuan Dan realm. Things transformed by elixir are not so easy to dissolve.
"Of course." Ling affirmed, "Maybe this thing will be of great benefit to him."
"What's the benefit?" Li Yuan's godless eyes suddenly flashed with light.
"You have to feel it for yourself. You can't die as long as the spirit pattern devours your life and bones. If you don't have enough understanding and can't understand it thoroughly, I'm afraid you will suffer a lot." Lingping said.
"Ah..." Li Yuan.
Li Yunqing asked: "Ling, how long will it take for Xiao Yuanzi to dissolve the Death Source Seal?"
Ling thought for a while and said lightly: "How could I know."
"Ah..." Li Yunqing was stunned and opened his mouth.
"It could be a month, it could be three months, it could be a year and a half." Ling said casually.
It seems that this thing cannot be solved in a short time. Li Yuan put it down and tried to figure out the doubts in his heart: "By the way. In the contract duel arena, I received a blow from Ma Zhitian's old guy and was quite injured. Heavy.
"It will take several months to recover, but I combined with the compound pill and it was almost healed in a few hours. And when the injury was first repaired, the spirit pattern life-devouring bone exuded very strong vitality. What happened? thing?"
"Uh... well..." Ling pondered for a long time, and then explained, "The swallowing power of Thunder Bone is too powerful. This is also the reason why your cultivation level plummeted and your lifespan was lost. But what you have endured The devouring power is too small. The real devouring power can swallow everything in the world and kill you in an instant.
"However, the vitality of the half-bone I put in your body is too strong to suppress the devouring power of the thunder-swallowing bone. When the spiritual pattern of the devouring bone in your body slowly grows, it will be easier for you to control the devouring power. When your cultivation reaches the perfection of Yuan Shen Realm or Nirvana Realm, you will know how strong the vitality of this bone is. As long as the injury is not too serious, it can be restored instantly."
"The power of swallowing comes from the thunder-swallowing bone. The thunder pattern should be formed by the interaction of the thunder-swallowing bone and the ten thousand pattern bone, right?" Li Yuan asked again.
"Yes. Thunder Mark inherits the ability of Ten Thousand Pattern Bones. After accumulating strength, it can instantly explode with power that far exceeds its own cultivation level." Ling explained.
"You said that my bone has absorbed a lot of bones, so what bone does this vigorous vitality come from?" Li Yuan asked again.
"Uh...life...bone." Lingtun stammered.
"Ah, you have eaten all the life bones? Are half of your Linglong bones so powerful?" Li Yuan exclaimed, "That's not right... Didn't you say..."
Ling said impatiently: "With so many problems, your top priority is to solve the Death Source Seal."
"Okay, okay, don't ask my questions. You can always ask my aunt," Li Yuan said hurriedly.
"What's the problem with Qing'er?" Xiaolou circled around Li Yunqing and asked.
Sighing feebly, Li Yuan said softly: "Didn't you notice that my little aunt's cultivation level has improved?"
"Eh... the peak of the late stage of the Void Realm?" Ling was stunned for a moment, "What happened?"
Seeing Li Yuan's weak appearance, Li Yunqing recounted their experiences while the spirit was sleeping.
"Fortunately, you came down in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. Hanhai Bingfenggu can withstand the infusion of energy from heaven and earth, but Qing'er's current body cannot bear it."
Between the words, Lingdu revealed a hint of fear.
"Auntie, can you quickly improve your cultivation level by going to heaven?" Li Yuan asked hurriedly.
Lingqing said angrily: "It's beautiful to think about it. It was the first time Qing'er went to the clouds. In such an environment, affected by the power of heaven and earth, he unlocked part of the seal of the ice wind bone in the vast sea, and accepted the infusion of the energy of heaven and earth. It was the seal itself. A benefit that can only be received once in the same environment.
"While you are solving the Death Source Seal, Qing'er also needs to consolidate her skyrocketing cultivation. It's too frivolous now. There should be nothing to do during this period. I will basically fall asleep, only when the air-locking formation at the entrance of the cave needs to be repaired. Wake up. Okay, I'm sleeping."
"Wait a minute, how do you solve Xiao Yuanzi's Death Seal? Is he the only one who realizes it? You need to tell me where to start? Is there no other way?" Li Yunqing asked hurriedly.
Ling thought for a moment and suggested some methods and other methods.
If you want to solve the Death Source Seal, the most important thing is to first find out the source of the Death Source Seal.
And if the source of the Death Seal has always existed, Yuan Dan realm experts who are familiar with him will look for it based on this breath.
However, there is no need to worry about this. The air locking formation engraved by the spirit can isolate the breath of the source of the death seal.
The death source seal will cause great damage to Yuan users with lower cultivation than the caster, and is difficult to resolve.
If it is a Yuan practitioner who is a fellow practitioner, although it will have an impact, it will not threaten one's life.
If a person with a higher level of cultivation than the caster can easily resolve it, it will have no impact.
Although Gu Nian was only in the early stage of the Yuan Dan realm, Li Yuanruo could not resolve the Death Source Seal he had used. He would have to find a Nirvana realm expert who could help resolve it.
It's not that easy to find a strong person in the Nirvana realm. Even if you find one, they may not be able to help.
What's more, in the entire Yangyan City, they had only heard of Qiu Hongtu, a member of the Qiu family who was in Nirvana. The dragon disappeared for many years, and even the head of the family did not know his whereabouts.
Whether it has fallen or not is unknown.
If he were still alive in the world, he would be about one hundred and seventy years old now.
Naturally, the place where the Nirvana realm powerhouses gather is Xia Yang City, the capital of Daxia.
To get from their location to Xiayang City, they need to cross two states, a distance of tens of thousands of miles. Even if you take the Giant Wing Bird to transfer, it will take several months.
Li Yuan's body can't hold on for that long, and water far away can't save the fire nearby.
Gu Nian was only at the early stage of the Yuan Dan realm, so the death source seal he used was not very powerful and was not as scary as he imagined.
The source of death seal has a very strong aura of death, which may be truly impossible for others to resolve. But for Li Yuan, who possesses the spirit pattern life-eating bone, not only is there no harm, but it is a blessing given to him by Gu Nian.
………
In the next few days, Li Yuan kept comprehending the Death Source Seal and gradually gained a certain understanding of it.
It's just that his current cultivation level is too low. If he wants to completely solve it, it will probably take at least a year or so.
The moment he was hit, he couldn't move any energy in his body and felt like he was about to die.
The Death Source Seal was formed from Gu Nian's Yuan Dan, and contained Gu Nian's lifelong cultivation. If it was fully refined, it would be of great help in improving his cultivation.
Li Yuan's skin was eroded by black death energy, getting darker and darker, and the black spots between his eyebrows also seemed to spread, and his whole body was filled with wisps of death energy.
The black death energy is eating away at the vitality.
He could clearly feel the death energy in his body. If it weren't for the strong vitality released by the spiritual pattern life-eating bone, he might have died.
The black death energy entangled almost every muscle, bone, and meridians in his body, spread throughout his limbs, and swam in every drop of blood.
Li Yuan felt that he had almost comprehended the Death Source Seal, so he calmed down, sat cross-legged, formed the cultivation mudra with both hands, and performed the Yuan-Pui Yuan Gong to control the power of the spirit pattern to eat the life-bearing bones.
With the operation of the technique, the vitality suppressed by the death energy in the qi pool in the body began to become active.
A trace of blue-silver electric arc began to swim around the black spot between the eyebrows. The arc was not only powerful, but also exuded a trace of vigorous vitality.
He did not activate the devouring power of the spirit pattern's life-devouring bones. In his current state, if he did not control it well, there would probably be unimaginable consequences.
The blue-silver electric arc has been wandering around the black spot between the eyebrows, sometimes approaching and sometimes moving away.
As time goes by, the vitality contained in the arc becomes stronger and stronger, adding a little cyan, turning into three colors of blue, silver and cyan, attracting the origin of the black spots, but the arc does not dare to get too close.
More than a month passed quietly.
Li Yuan's skin is darker than before and shows no signs of getting better.
Another half month passed, and his face was sometimes ferocious, sometimes vicious, and extremely painful. But the vitality in the arc of blue, silver and green that wanders between the eyebrows is getting stronger and stronger.
Suddenly, a very thin black line, like a black earthworm, crawled out from the black spot between the eyebrows and headed towards the blue, silver and green arc not far away.
When the squirming black line was completely separated from the black spot, the three-color arc suddenly exploded and instantly wrapped the small black line.
At this moment, Li Yuan, who had been in pain, curled up his lips slightly and said to himself: "I finally caught you."
This very thin black line is the origin of the Death Source Seal.
The moment it was wrapped in the blue, silver and green arc, the small black line immediately turned into an extremely small black dot, beating crazily in the arc.
No matter how the little black dot moves, it can never break out of the arc circle.
Each time the arc hits, the small black spot shrinks a little.
Gradually, the black spots became smaller and smaller, and finally turned into nothingness, and the arc also disappeared.
Li Yuan exhaled a long breath and slowly opened his eyes.
When he opened his eyes, the dark hands really startled him.
When he pulled up his sleeves, his arms were also black. However, where Gu Nian had hit him, the several-inch long wound had long since healed and was as smooth as jade.
He couldn't help but sigh to himself: "The death energy in the Death Source Seal is really powerful."
"Xiao Yuanzi, how are you feeling? Are you feeling better? In the past two months, your skin has become darker and darker, and I dare not disturb you. During this period, Ling woke up several times to repair the air-locking formation. I asked her and she said there was nothing wrong, but I was still a little worried."
Li Yunqing looked at Li Yuan who was staring at his dark arm, and felt a little relieved.
Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, touched his head, and was a little confused: "It's been two months? Fortunately, the source of the Death Seal has been completely resolved, but the Death Seal has not been resolved at all.
"After adjusting for a while, I started to refine the Death Source Seal, hoping to improve my cultivation."
"Xiao Yuanzi, can this thing really be refined and improved?" Li Yunqing had some scruples in his heart.
"I don't know." Li Yuan shook his head, "We can only know if we try it. The spirit shouldn't lie to us. I just don't know how much the death source seal formed by Gu Nianyuan Dan can improve the cultivation level.
"Next, I will start refining the Death Source Seal. It is estimated to take a long time. Based on my experience in solving the source of the Death Source Seal, the most important thing is the beginning. Don't be disturbed. I estimate that it should be stable in two months. By then. At some point, you can ask Ling to remove the air-locking formation at the entrance of the cave. You won’t have to be trapped in the cave all the time.”
"I have nothing. I just need to stabilize my cultivation." Li Yunqing smiled and said, "You concentrate on refining the Death Source Seal."
She has been worried about the source of death mark on Li Yuan, it would be nice if it could be solved.
Maybe no one could refine the Death Source Seal before, but that was because they didn't meet Li Yuan.
He has a powerful spiritual pattern life-devouring bone, which provides strong vitality and can be used to refine the death source seal planted by a person in the early stage of the Yuan Dan realm.
After Li Yuan adjusted for a period of time, he was going to refine and remove the black death energy all over his body first, and then refine the black spots between his eyebrows.
Just as Ling said, the black death energy can indeed be refined by him. The dark skin fades little by little, and the cultivation level is slowly improving.
Time slips away quietly like gravel on your fingertips.
Two months later, Li Yuan's skin has basically returned to normal.
After refining the black death energy around him, he successfully broke through to the late stage of the Void Realm.
He did not immediately start refining the dark spots between his eyebrows, but prepared to adjust for a period of time. It was a tough battle.
"Except for the dark spots between the eyebrows that have not been eliminated, the skin all over the body is normal."
As soon as Li Yuan exited the cultivation state, Li Yunqing opened his sleeves to check, then smiled and murmured to himself.
Suddenly, she noticed the aura on Li Yuan's body and said excitedly: "Xiao Yuanzi, have you made a breakthrough? In the late stage of the Void Realm... It seems that the Death Source Seal can really be refined by you, and it can also improve your cultivation."
Li Yuan spent two months refining the black death energy covering his whole body.
By refining the Death Source Seal, Li Yuan also gained a deeper understanding of it.
I'm afraid there aren't many Yuan practitioners in the world who can refine the Death Source Seal. Not all Yuan beings can obtain infinite vitality.
Under normal circumstances, other Yuan practitioners can only ask a strong person with a cultivation level higher than that of the Yuan who cast the Death Source Seal to help resolve it.
Otherwise, if you are hit by the Death Source Seal, you will definitely die, it just depends on the length of time.
Gu Nian was only at the early stage of the Yuan Dan realm. If his cultivation was at a higher level, Li Yuan wouldn't be able to solve it.
He didn't dare to refine the black spots between his eyebrows easily, after all, that was the key point.
Li Yunqing stared at the dark spots on Li Yuanmei's heart and said in surprise: "Xiao Yuanzi, your skin was dark before, so you couldn't see the dark spots very clearly.
"It seems to be circles and circles, and the circles slowly spread outward. It is difficult to detect without careful observation."
"Really? It shouldn't be." Li Yuan looked suspicious, and then speculated, "Based on my current understanding of it, he should have no rules. It is probably that Gu Nian has not really understood the Death Source Seal, and he I never thought that he would come to the point where he would use the Seal of Death. This thing must be removed as soon as possible. I can’t seem to release the Qiankun Cauldron with it."
After resting for a few days, Li Yuan began to refine the dark spots between his eyebrows.
He performed the Pei Yuan Gong and slowly came into contact with the black circles spreading out from the black spots.
Suddenly, the relatively quiet black spots began to squirm.
"No, the black spots seem to be about to explode. The death energy contained in them is too heavy. I will have to suffer a lot to resist the impact of the exploding death energy."
Li Yuan's heart trembled, and his body tensed. The black spot's ability to eat life was too ferocious, and he immediately stopped contact with the black circle pattern.
At this moment, he broke out in a cold sweat and his clothes were soaked.
Not long after the refining was stopped, the black spots formed by the Death Source Seal calmed down.
If Li Yuan's cultivation has reached the Yuan Dan realm now, refining Black Spot will be a piece of cake.
Now he is only in the late stage of the Void Realm. If he is not careful, the death energy in the black spots may quickly spread all over his body, covering his entire body from the inside out, eating away at life crazily.
Li Yuan waited for the black spots to completely stabilize before he started to use the Yuan Training Gong again.
This time he ran Peiyuan Gong to refine the black spots. He was very careful and only touched the outside of the black circles.
Now it is a duel between the ability of Peiyuan Gong to refine and the ability of Death Source Seal to eat life.
He was not as reckless as before, but slowly tested, and the black spots showed no signs of exploding like before.
Slowly, I don't know how long it took, the outermost black circle pattern finally turned into nothingness and was completely refined.
"Success!"
Li Yuan was overjoyed and secretly thought.
After calming down, he did not rush to continue refining. When the black circles inside spread to a certain distance, he touched the outside of the black circles and started refining.
While refining, he felt the energy contained in the black circles, and the nervous expression on his face slowly relaxed, revealing a hint of joy.
Although Black Spot is extremely dangerous to other Yuan beings and may cost them their lives, for Li Yuan, it is a blessing.
Li Yuan continued to operate the Pei Yuan Gong carefully, operating outside the black circle pattern without touching the inside of the circle pattern, refining it bit by bit for his own use.
When the black circles are refined to a certain extent, new circles appear outside the black spots.
He could clearly feel the increasing Yuan Power in his body bit by bit, and the pool of Qi was constantly shrinking under the blessing of the powerful Yuan Power.
When a Yuan person enters the realm of treading the void, the qi pool in his body will continue to shrink.
When you reach a spiritual realm point, you will advance to the next level.
The smaller the Qi pool shrinks, the more powerful the Yuan force in the Yuan's body will be, and the time of flying in the air will also increase.
"I really want to thank Gu Nian. I didn't expect that he gave me a big gift before he died." Li Yuan murmured to himself in his heart.
While the black spots between his eyebrows were being refined bit by bit by him, his cultivation level was also constantly improving.
The last black spot of the Death Source Seal was finally refined by Li Yuan. He took this opportunity to reach the peak of the late stage of the Void Realm.
After once again confirming that there was no death energy from the Death Source Seal anywhere in his body, limbs and bones, he slowly exited the cultivation state.
As soon as he opened his eyes, Li Yunqing's graceful figure came into his eyes.
"Xiao Yuanzi, have you refined all the death source seals?" Although Li Yunqing saw that the black spots between Li Yuan's eyebrows disappeared, he still confirmed to Li Yuan.
"Yes, they have all been refined." Li Yuan nodded and said with a smile.
Li Yunqing smiled and said: "Have you also broken through to the peak of the late stage of the Void Realm?"
"Yeah" Li Yuan nodded, then showed a surprised expression, "Little aunt, what's your breath?"
"Giggle." Li Yunqing pouted and smiled faintly, "You saw it. I vaguely felt the limit of the contraction of the qi pool in my body, and there were signs of loosening of the barrier.
"Originally, I thought it would take several years to reach the perfect level of Taoxu Realm. But now it seems that at this rate, it will take another year to reach the perfect level of Taoxu Realm."
Li Yuan touched his chin, pondered for a while, and asked doubtfully: "You feel the barrier loosening so soon?"
"While you were refining the Death Source Seal, I tried hard to suppress your frivolous cultivation. I guess I suppressed it too hard, which made it infinitely close to the barrier in the late stage of the Void Realm." Li Yunqingyu clasped her hair with her hands and recalled.
"It's only been a few days and there are signs of a breakthrough?" Li Yuan rubbed his chin.
Li Yunqing pretended to be angry: "It hasn't been many days since you were refining this black spot, and you sat here motionless for nearly half a year. Do you know how worried I am? Ever since Rang Ling withdrew the air-locking formation, sometimes I still have to face the occasional A monster appears nearby.”
In the past few months, Li Yunqing didn't practice much because he was worried about Li Yuan. It wasn't until Li Yuan's skin returned to normal that he focused on practicing.
Hearing this, Li Yuan smiled awkwardly. He did not expect that it would take so much time to refine the black spots.
The black spots were resolved and his cultivation improved, so Li Yuan decided to go to a nearby town to rest for a few days.
The closest place to here is Bianyang Town.
