The jumping arcs around the figure on the Nine-Color Divine Cauldron slowly faded away. Suddenly, another lightning arc appeared out of thin air beside him. After circling, it rushed under his feet and turned into a flying thunder blade.
He left the cauldron and stood on the flying blade, with lightning dazzling under his feet.
Li Yunqing and the others looked at the figure rushing towards them from a distance, and the outline gradually appeared and became clear.
The figure slowly grew bigger, one inch, two inches, three inches...
"Xiao Yuan, you can control the weapon. He succeeded in breaking through." Yuan Yao tugged on Li Yunqing's cyan sleeve and shouted excitedly.
Li Yunqing's nose felt sore, and his eyes were filled with mist.
After a short time, Li Yuan landed in front of them, glanced at everyone, and said: "Everyone, please come and be safe."
"I'm sick. Look, I've lost weight due to hunger over the years." Yuan Yao hurriedly pointed to her thin arm.
Li Yunqing stepped forward, holding Li Yuan's arm tightly with her jade hands, her beautiful eyes were reddish, and the water mist that appeared before turned into two pools of spring water, flowing out, and an unconcealable joy filled her pretty cheeks.
"I'm fine." Li Yuan looked at Li Yunqing's lovable look, a touch of softness appeared on his handsome face, and said softly.
Li Yunqing didn't speak, but quietly grabbed Li Yuan's arm.
This time, they were separated for too long.
"Li Yuan, your breath?" Guan Tian suddenly frowned.
Shi Chen touched his head and was equally puzzled: "Why can't I feel the fluctuation of Yuan Power on your body? Just now I clearly saw your imperial weapon flying towards you. Could it be that I was dazzled?"
Hearing this, Li Yunqing noticed the aura on Li Yuan's body this time.
Li Yuan smiled and looked at them, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
He noticed that the cultivation of Li Yunqing and others had improved a lot, and he slowly explained: "The Yuan bones in my body have mutated, just like my little aunt.
"Others cannot detect her specific level, but after I enter the Yuan Dan realm, I can hide the fluctuations of Yuan power extremely well."
"Then what is your current level of cultivation?" Yuan Yao asked impatiently. Li Yuan's level of cultivation was closely related to her.
Taking a long breath, Li Yuan said in a deep voice: "The Yuan Dan realm is complete, but it is not yet stable. It is estimated that it will take some time."
Hearing this, Yuan Yao cheered, excited and excited, and then hesitated: "You didn't lie to me?"
"Do I need to lie to you?" Li Yuan touched Yuan Yao's little head.
Shi Chen breathed a sigh of relief, waved his arm and said, "I just thought you were going to leave us behind by a long way. It seems that my worries were a bit unnecessary."
"You are not bad, you are also at the Yuan Dan realm. My little aunt is also at the Yuan Dan realm. Brother Guan has actually entered the middle stage of Nirvana. I am afraid that in Daxia, there are less than ten people who can beat you." Li Yuanhan said with a smile.
Guan Tian smiled lightly, shook his head and said: "After all these years, I haven't seen those old guys for more than 40 years, and I don't know how terrifying their strength has been."
Although he said this, Guan Tian knew in his heart that it was impossible for them to improve their cultivation much.
To improve your cultivation in the Nirvana realm, the resources required are extremely huge.
Even in the middle stage of Nirvana more than 40 years ago, it is already very rare to reach the peak of the middle stage.
With the support of Li Yuan and the Li family, Guan Tian has received massive training resources over the years.
Coupled with his extremely outstanding cultivation talent, his strength improved faster.
"More than forty years?" Li Yuan knew that he had spent a lot of time this time. "How long have I been in seclusion?"
Guan Tian was only one hundred and one years old when he broke through to Nirvana.
At that time, he had only left the capital for more than twenty years.
Yuan Yao looked unhappy and said coquettishly: "You have the nerve to ask, but you have made me miserable! You have been in seclusion for twelve years. Twelve years! Do you know?
"I have lived in this broken cave for twelve years."
As she spoke, she pointed at the cave behind her. The more she spoke, the more she felt aggrieved and tears were about to flow out.
"Twelve years? Fortunately, we didn't waste time."
Li Yuan was shocked when he heard this, but there was no surprise on his face.
This is about the same ten years as Ling had speculated before.
"Has it been so long?" He touched his head and smiled awkwardly, "Don't worry, I won't treat you badly, just open your mouth."
Yuan Yao's flushed face immediately showed a look of ecstasy, and she immediately opened her mouth.
Li Yuan made a small opening on his fingertip, and a drop of blood emerged. With a flick, the drop of blood flew into Yuan Yao's mouth.
Immediately afterwards, the wound on the finger healed quickly and became as good as new, as if it had not been broken again. The repair ability could only be described as terrifying.
After Yuan Yao swallowed the drop of blood, in an instant, two kinds of light, green and blue silver, erupted around her body, and then turned into a ball of mist, covering her petite body.
After a while, the mist glowing with green and blue silver slowly converged and transformed into Yuan Yao's body again.
"This is the perfection of the Yuan Dan realm! Dozens of times more powerful than before." Yuan Yao jumped happily.
The scene in front of them shocked Guan Tian and the others.
Although Li Yunqing had been mentally prepared early in the morning, Yuan Yao's sudden change in cultivation was still beyond her expectation.
Yuan Yao's body is the Nine Fantasy Abyss, a Yuan beast born from heaven and earth. The spirit fantasy bone enters the body and gives life. Once born, he becomes a powerful person in the Yuan Shen realm.
The effect of the Yuan pattern on her eggshell that imprisoned her meant that when she woke up, she did not break out of the shell smoothly, causing her cultivation to be illusive.
If Li Yuan hadn't used the spirit pattern life-devouring bone and the blood essence to help her break out of her shell, she would have died of starvation.
Because he helped her break out of her shell, and the unique blood inheritance of Jiuhuanyuan, Li Yuan had a wonderful connection with her. They shared their cultivation level, and they could also merge together, causing their cultivation level to skyrocket for a short period of time.
Ling doesn't know exactly what level of cultivation can be achieved after merging, but this method must have certain sequelae.
What consequences it will bring, Ling still needs to deduce. Only when they reach the stage of integration can they know.
Therefore, it is not necessary to use it as a last resort to improve your cultivation by combining it.
Li Yuan shook his head helplessly, smacked his lips, and said: "You can easily steal the cultivation that I have worked hard to improve for twelve years."
"Humph!" Yuan Yao tilted her little head and disapproved.
"Concentrate your breath and don't yell. If others see such a little girl reaching the Yuan Dan realm, she may cause trouble." Li Yuan reminded.
Yuan Yao clenched her little hands into small fists and yelled: "How many times have I told you, I am not a little girl. In a few months, I will be forty-five. Have you ever seen a little girl of this age?"
Her mouth was unforgiving, but she still controlled her breath obediently.
For more than ten years, Yuan Yao's appearance and height have not changed at all, and she still looks like she was sixteen or seventeen years old.
Li Yuan touched his chin with his hand, pondered for a moment, looked sideways at Li Yunqing, and asked: "Little aunt, my breakthrough this time took longer than expected. I wonder if Ma Zhitian is still alive?"
Li Yunqing thought for a while and replied: "If the Ma family had not encountered any accidents, with a lifespan of two hundred years in the Yuan Dan realm, they should still be alive. I just don't know if they will break through to the Nirvana realm."
Hearing this, Li Yuan shook his head slightly, sneered, and said: "With his cultivation talent, it is absolutely impossible for him to advance to the Nirvana realm, unless he finds someone as powerful as Cang Yu to help him."
"Just ask me for help." Ling agreed in Li Yuan's heart.
"What does this have to do with you?" Li Yuan retorted in his mind, and looked at Guan Tian, "Brother Guan, thank you for guarding me here for the past twelve years. You go back to Li Town first, and my aunt and I will deal with it. A personal feud from twenty years ago.
"I will go find you in one day at most and refine the elixir for you. Then you can go wherever you want. After so many years, you should return to the capital to have a look."
"It's a small effort." Guan Tian waved his hand and said with a smile, "If it weren't for you, I would have died ten years ago, and then I would have been in the middle stage of Nirvana. Since you have important things to do, let's leave here."
After saying that, Guan Tian bowed his hands to Li Yuan and others, turned his palms, and the Qingxuan ancient halberd flew out from Yunjie, and then the halberd flew towards the southwest.
After watching Guan Tian leave, Li Yuan said calmly: "Xiao Yaoyao, the three of us, thank you for your hard work."
When Yuan Yao heard this, he was stunned for a moment, pointed at himself, and asked doubtfully: "Me?"
"It's eight hundred miles from here to Yangyan City. Do you want us to fly back to Yangyan City by ourselves? Aren't you afraid that I'll be tired?" Li Yuan leaned into Yuan Yao's ear and whispered, "Ling said, you Hurry up."
"What do you mean? I still have to carry this big guy?" Yuan Yao pointed at Shi Chen.
Li Yuan chuckled and said: "Don't worry, I will carry you this time, and let him carry you every day in the future."
Yuan Yao stamped her feet, knowing that she could not refuse, so she could only endure it, and immediately turned into mist, and then transformed into the body of Jiuhuanyuan, one foot tall with shoulders and two feet long.
"So big?" Li Yunqing looked at Yuan Yao who had transformed into his own body and said in shock.
Li Yuandao: "Jiu Huanyuan can change the size of its body at will. Before the tribulation, although it cannot reach a hundred feet, it can still reach sixty or seventy feet. Let's go."
He gently touched Jiu Huanyuan's neck, dodged his feet on the ground, jumped up, and landed on the latter's back.
Li Yunqing flew down and sat in front of Li Yuan.
Shi Chen was stunned for a while, then jumped up cautiously.
He used Yuan Li to influence the surrounding space, making himself suspended in the air, and slowly and gently landed on Jiu Huanyuan's back, for fear of angering this little ancestor, otherwise there would be no good fruits to eat later.
Jiuhuanyuan flapped its huge wings, making a harsh sound, and flew westward. Its huge body disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.
………
at dusk.
The red sun gradually loses its scorching light and slowly falls towards the place where the sky and the earth meet.
Over the prosperous Yangyan City, stars are faintly visible.
The afterglow of the setting sun stretched the shadows of the buildings in the city into huge lengths, and scattered lights lit up.
Outside the South City Gate, four uncoordinated figures slowly approached the city gate.
When he reached the bottom of the city gate, Li Yuan stopped and looked up at the five large characters "Yang Yan City South Gate" with traces of time above the city gate.
"Little aunt, it has been twenty years and we are finally back." Li Yuan looked sideways at Li Yuanqing and said with emotion.
Li Yunqing nodded slightly, looked through the city gate to the streets in the city, and said to himself: "Yangyan City, we are back again."
Walking through the city gate passage, standing on the busy street, feeling everything here has a familiar smell.
"Xiao Yuanzi, Yangyan City has not changed much in the past twenty years." Li Yunqing recalled the scene when he first came to Yangyan City more than twenty years ago. Seeing such a large city, it was like falling into the clouds.
"Ouch!" Yuan Yao suddenly shouted, pulling Li Yunqing back from his thoughts.
"Yuan Yao, haven't you recovered yet?" Li Yunqing asked with concern.
Rubbing her shoulders, shaking her legs, and twisting her waist a little, Yuan Yao frowned and said slowly: "I don't know, I feel uncomfortable all over, my bones hurt, and sometimes I feel like I'm going to die. Maybe I'm tired. Come on! It’s okay, just take a rest.”
Yuan Yao responded simply, then walked quickly in front of a few people, stopped, leaned forward slightly, sniffed with his nose, and shouted loudly: "The smell of prosperity."
Looking back, she waved to Shi Chen and said, "Big guy, follow me."
Hearing this, Shi Chen strode to follow. Yuan Yao spun around and landed on Shi Chen's shoulders. Her little feet almost lost her balance and swayed several times in succession.
"Big guy, I'm so powerful. If it weren't for me, you would not be able to see the sunset when you came here." Yuan Yao was proud.
Shi Chen nodded repeatedly and had to accept it.
Yuan Yao took the three of them, over a cup of tea, from the depths of the Qingzhai Mountains, eight hundred miles away, to the outside of Yangyan City.
Even if Shi Chen turns into the body of a heavenly spirit beast, he still has to run for an hour.
Yuan Yao, who was standing on Shi Chen's shoulder, patted his rock-like head with his small hand, and with a bit of pretentiousness, directed Shi Chen to wander around in the street.
Looking at the two people's retreating figures, Li Yuan and Li Yunqing looked at each other and smiled.
Soon, the smile on Li Yuan's face turned serious, he frowned and looked at the little figure on Shi Chen's shoulder, and asked in his heart: "Ling, is little Yaoyao not suitable for body flight?"
"It may not be suitable before you break through to the Yuanshen realm. I don't know if there will be any sequelae this time." Ling worried, and then added, "Probably not!"
In the forest dozens of miles outside the city, Jiuhuanyuan landed and turned into a human form, almost fainting.
Obviously, even a short flight seemed to put a huge load on Yuan Yao's body. Ling's heart sank at that time, which she had not expected before.
………
Yangyan City, Ma family meeting hall.
More than a dozen figures, almost all wearing red robes with a knife logo wrapped in fire patterns on the cuffs, all of whom were at the Yuan Dan realm, were sitting around the huge table in the center of the hall.
"Crunch!"
In the hall, an inner door opened, and Ma Zhitian walked out. Although he was quite old, his face was red and happy.
More than a dozen figures stood up immediately and said respectfully in unison: "Congratulations, chief!"
Ma Zhitian nodded slightly, quite satisfied. He walked to the table, waved gently and said, "Sit down and talk."
After everyone sat down, he smiled and swept his eyes over everyone, and continued: "I didn't expect that I could advance to the perfect peak of the Yuan Dan realm. Even if I don't have much life left, I'm afraid Nirvana is hopeless. But among you, Some people can impact.”
Ma Zhitian's eyes moved quickly, and finally stopped at the last position on the right, a middle-aged woman with a pretty appearance, and said: "For example, Wanjie, who is only fifty-nine years old this year, has entered the Yuan Dan realm. She is the hope of the family." .”
"The patriarch loves Wanjie. I only broke through to the Yuan Dan realm a few days ago. Nirvana is too far away." Ma Wanjie stood up, smiled sweetly, and bowed to Ma Zhitian.
"You have to have confidence in yourself." Ma Zhitian raised his hand and asked Ma Wanjie to sit down. He put away the smile on his face and showed a little sadness, "If Zhihai is still here, he should have the cultivation level of the late Yuan Dan realm now. He is The most promising one is to enter Nirvana.”
After hearing this, everyone nodded silently. The atmosphere suddenly became much quieter, and the previous joy was gone.
Ma Zhitian was slightly absent-minded. He valued Ma Zhihai very much and had always planned to hand over the position of patriarch to him after his death.
"Clan leader, thirteen years ago, Elder Zhishan and Elder Zhihai died in Xiaoxing Mountain. Is it related to the beast tide that year?"
In the quiet hall, someone suddenly spoke up and started talking about this matter.
The deaths of Ma Zhishan and Ma Zhihai are still unbearable for the Ma family. Both of them have reached the middle stage of Yuan Dan realm.
What's more, Ma Zhihai was young, and his death could be said to have dealt a greater blow to Ma Zhitian than the deaths of his three grandchildren.
