In the night sky, the thunderclouds dissipated.
In the sky where Li Yuan stayed before, an old woman appeared, standing on top of a black and red umbrella.
"Master!"
Liu Tianning came in a hurry, bowed to the old woman and shouted.
"Huh!" Liu Tianyun snorted coldly, with a gloomy expression, "I have been in seclusion for so many years, and this is how you manage the Liu family?"
At this moment, Liu Tianfeng, Liu Tianhan and Liu Tiansong had all arrived. They all stood on the red umbrella and bent towards Liu Tianyun, with beads of sweat rolling down their faces.
Liu Tianning took a breath and said in a trembling voice: "Master, now is not the time to reprimand us. It is important to catch those thieves. There are two more people who have escaped, I will chase them immediately."
Waving his hand, Liu Tianyun said slowly: "They can't escape. Find the man just now. With him, his accomplices will definitely not escape.
"Inform the flying team to search into the mountains. Once found, send a message immediately. Do not entangle with them without permission."
Hearing this, Liu Tianning and the others bowed and nodded.
………
In the dim forest filled with mist, a black shadow kept flashing through it, looking up to the sky from time to time.
After Li Yuan walked forward for a while, he stopped against a giant tree.
Suddenly, a black umbrella flew out of the mist, and a wisp of green fur swept out of it, falling in front of him and turning into a short black shadow.
"Xiao Yuan, are you okay!" Yuan Yao's voice trembled slightly, her little face under the black robe could not hide the fear, and there were tears in her eyes.
"He's fine. He was just injured by Liu Tianyun's pressure. It's a small injury and won't be a problem. It will be repaired in a few hours." The spirit swept out of Li Yuan's body and said slowly, "Yao'er, can you escape today?" It’s up to you to go out.”
Yuan Yao was startled. She didn't understand why Ling said that and specifically asked her to stay.
"Ahem!" Li Yuan gasped and coughed twice, "What should we do?"
Ling said slowly: "Yao'er, Li Yuan, please listen carefully. Yao'er's body is Jiuhuan Yuan, the strongest auxiliary Yuan beast in the world.
"Originally, Yao'er has formed a physical body, and the divine bones have given life to it, gathering souls and beings. She should be in the realm of Yuanshen. But she has been sealed for too long and cannot break out of the shell.
"The divine bones in Yao'er's body are closely related to the Yuan bones of Li Yuan and Qing'er. Yao'er was able to break through the shell only with the help of Li Yuan's essence and blood accumulation that was integrated into the power of the life-devouring bone of the spirit pattern. Cause your cultivation to be consistent.
"Now that Yao'er has entered Li Yuan's body, Li Yuan can use Yao'er's power to improve his cultivation level in a short time.
"However, once you merge, even if Li Yuanjin enters the Yuanshen realm, you will still be one. Li Yuan breaks through, Yao'er breaks through, self-cultivation is of no use.
"Not only is the cultivation level the same, your longevity is also the same. If Li Yuan encounters an accident and falls, Yao'er will also fall. When Yao'er falls, Li Yuan's cultivation level will drop drastically. I must make this clear to you."
“Hey, it’s a good thing that I don’t have to practice, and I feel relaxed.
"But why should I die if he dies? If I die, his cultivation level will only drop drastically. It's not fair." Yuan Yao tilted her head, rubbed her head, and said softly.
"You need his help to get out of trouble." Ling explained simply.
Yuan Yao heard this and thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.
I can’t figure it out, so I simply don’t think about it anymore.
Following Ling's instructions, she moved and hit Li Yuan with her whole body.
The moment the two came into contact, Yuan Yao turned into green mist and enveloped Li Yuan, and then converged into the latter's body at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Li Yuandang could feel every trace of Yuan Yao's energy, vitality, breath, blood, etc., circulating perfectly in his body without any rejection reaction.
The Yuan Dan realm reaches its peak.
Early stage of Nirvana.
The peak of the initial stage of Nirvana.
The middle stage of Nirvana.
"I didn't expect that my cultivation level would instantly rise to the middle stage of Nirvana, and my physical strength would increase a lot. According to the current physical strength, I'm afraid that as a Yuan practitioner who has just entered Nirvana, if he doesn't use Yuan techniques, ordinary attacks should have no effect on me. This is the power of a strong person. , It feels so good!" Li Yuan looked at himself, feeling ecstatic in his heart.
Xiaolou said: "Don't be too happy. The time to improve this kind of power is limited, and the longer the integration time, the longer the period of weakness will be.
"Also, this combination method should not be used lightly. If your body becomes dependent on the surge in power, it will be more difficult to improve your cultivation in the future.
"At the same time, your spiritual pattern life-devouring bone can easily swallow up the spiritual fantasy bone. Once this happens, Yao'er will perish."
When Li Yuan heard this, he immediately woke up from the surge in strength.
He looked up at the night sky, gritted his teeth and said secretly: "Luoyunliu family, let me see how you can keep me."
He stamped his feet on the ground and jumped into the air.
"boom--"
Li Yuan, who had just jumped up, fell directly down. There was a biting pain in his back. This kind of pain was a bit unbearable for him.
"Xiao Yaoyao, what are you doing?" Li Yuan knelt on his knees, grinned, made fists with both hands, and pounded the ground violently to relieve the pain.
"It's not me, and I don't know why." Yuan Yao responded.
"Ling, what's going on?" Li Yuan asked.
"This... I don't know either." Ling was ignorant, "Maybe it's the first time you try it, and it takes a long time for you to fuse."
"..." Li Yuan heard this and wanted to run away, but the pain in his back made him unable to care.
Ling instructed: "The integration between you and Yuan Yao has not been completely completed, and you must persist. Once separated and the integration fails, it will leave you with huge wounds that cannot be repaired."
Li Yuan could clearly feel that part of the strength in his body was gathering in his back, trying to break out.
He endured the pain and kept from screaming.
Once discovered by the Liu family, there is absolutely no way to deal with it.
He was sweating all over and breathing heavily.
As time went on, the pain continued to intensify.
He finally couldn't bear it anymore and fell to the ground, hugging his knees with his hands and curling up into a ball.
He bit his lip hard, blood spreading at the corners of his mouth.
When he was about to fall into coma, the pain gradually disappeared, and the meridians on his back became thicker, accumulating a lot of energy that has not dissipated.
The energy in the body is running, impacting the accumulated energy.
Suddenly, the Yuan Power there surged out of the body, as if it was drained out in an instant, and the Yuan Power in the body quickly flowed to the meridians on the back, and then the Yuan Power there filled up.
The energy flowing out of the body from his back turned into a blue energy body shaped like a pair of wings.
He used his Yuan Shen to take a closer look and found that the wings on his back were somewhat similar to the wings of Jiuhuan Yuan. He could clearly see Yuan Li flowing on them and emitting divine brilliance at the same time.
As more and more Yuan Power flows into the blue wings, it continues to solidify and gradually generates thunder arcs, becoming a pair of blue thunder wings.
"Xiao Yuan, why did my wings go to you?" Yuan Yao asked in confusion.
"I don't know either." Li Yuan was equally puzzled.
"Let him borrow it for a while and return it to you after finishing it." Ling said.
The blue thunder wings flapped, and Li Yuan soared into the sky, his speed soaring.
At that speed, it is estimated that it can easily cross six thousand miles in one hour.
However, their integration time is extremely short and cannot support long-term flight.
Even in the true state of nirvana, the physical load is unbearable at such a speed, and life may be in danger.
………
The rolling mountain forests are shrouded in red mist, forming a hazy sea of mist.
The five Nirvana experts from the Liu family hovered over the sea of fog, searching for traces of Li Yuan.
Suddenly, a majestic pressure enveloped the surroundings.
"Come to me quickly." Liu Tianyun frowned slightly, his expression changed with surprise, and he shouted urgently.
Liu Tianning and others quickly moved closer to Liu Tianyun, with five pairs of blood-like eyes staring at the area where the pressure appeared.
The sea of fog was turbulent and quickly melted away, revealing the outlines of towering trees.
"boom--"
Suddenly, accompanied by a thunderous sonic boom, a black shadow rushed out, suspended above the forest sea, with blue thunder wings about ten feet wide flapping on its back.
Looking at the black figure with blue thunder wings in the distance, Liu Tianyun and the other five people all looked astonished.
The next moment, Liu Tianyun's expression suddenly changed, and she noticed that the ferocious aura emanating from the opponent's body was actually stronger than hers, but the opponent's cultivation seemed to be weaker than hers, and had not reached its mid-term peak.
However, if there is a real fight, she may not be his opponent.
Powerful pressure spread out from the black figure. Except for Liu Tianyun, the other four people felt the pressure of that pressure.
This was a strong man in the middle stage of Nirvana who was no weaker than the Tianyun family leader, and they were horrified.
"The opponent is obviously a human being, why did he give birth to such dazzling blue thunder wings?" Liu Tianfeng's eyes were full of shock.
"Why is this person's aura so familiar?" Liu Tianning frowned, shock also flashed in his eyes, looking at the black figure with blue thunder wings on its back in the distant sky, and asked suspiciously.
The shocked look in Liu Tianyun's eyes could not dissipate for a long time. Instead, it turned solemn. He raised his hands to the Thunder Wing figure in front of him and said: "Excuse me, are you the branch protector of Tianlinghai? What are you doing in Yunliucheng? Is there anyone from the Liu family who can help? Busy place.”
After checking the characteristics of the Nirvana strongmen arranged by various major sects near the Luoyun Mountains one by one, they are able to grow wings and have such high cultivation, they are most likely to be the branch protectors of Tianlinghai.
Liu Tianyun can only guess this level at the moment.
"No. Patriarch, he is the man in black robe that you just knocked down in the forest." Liu Tianning shrank his eyes and said in shock.
He had fought against Li Yuan and was familiar with the latter's aura.
Hearing this, Liu Tianyun snorted coldly, murderous intent suddenly emerged in his eyes, and shouted: "Your Excellency stole all the materials from my Liu family's ancestral home tonight and killed my Liu family members. Your methods are despicable. I must ask for an explanation tonight. Please return the materials as soon as possible."
Li Yuan looked at the Nirvana of the Liu family, and his handsome face under the black robe suddenly became cold. He didn't expect to be seen through by the other party, and immediately sneered: "Explanation? I was really scared to find out the shocking secret of the Liu family. All these materials should be given to me." I'm shocked."
secret?
Could it be that the other party discovered the blood pool in the underground palace beneath the ancestral home?
Everyone in the Liu family looked suspicious.
"It's impossible. When I came out, I didn't find any outsiders sneaking into the underground palace. Don't be frightened by his words! Just calm down."
Liu Tianyun never believed that the other party had been to the underground palace. Once anyone outside the Liu family's bloodline entered, they would be discovered.
What's more, non-Liu family members, even those in the late Nirvana realm, would not be able to break into the underground palace.
"I don't know what kind of secret method you used to forcibly improve your cultivation, but it's not enough to leave in front of me." Liu Tianyun shouted.
Li Yuandao: "No matter what kind of secret method it is, it is not as despicable as the secret method of your Liu family.
"I didn't expect that the dominating Liu family is actually a demon-cultivating family. It's okay to cultivate demons, exchange blood, and refine demonic beasts.
“I just didn’t expect that your methods would be so despicable that you would directly refine human Yuans to improve your cultivation.
“If I hadn’t been entrusted by someone to investigate the missing Yuan Dan realm among my clan, I still wouldn’t have discovered the shocking secret of your Liu family.
“In the Qinggu Continent, I don’t think this method of directly refining human beings to improve their cultivation will be accepted by everyone!
"If this secret is publicized, do you think the forces behind the missing powerful men in Yunliu City will seek an explanation from the Liu family?"
"No matter which force he comes from, since the secret has been discovered by him, nothing can be said tonight to make him leave." A vicious thought flashed through Liu Tianyun's heart. The person in front of him must die tonight.
The stolen materials are nothing compared to the secrets of the Liu family's ability to cultivate so many multi-elixir realms and nirvana realms.
Cultivating demons and exchanging blood will not be condemned by other Yuan practitioners. After all, in this world, the strong are respected. Everyone just uses different methods.
But for a long time, too many human beings have disappeared in Yunliu City. Once this matter is publicized, it will attract many enemies.
Back then, the ancestors of the Liu family obtained the secret method of cultivating monsters. At first, they only used the blood pool to absorb and refine monsters to improve their cultivation.
In order to improve the cultivation level of the clan members, the Liu family established several places to cultivate three red blood bats in the Luoyun Mountains. Using this beast, they cultivated a large number of Yuan Dan realms in a few decades.
Relying on the secret method of cultivating demons, one can quickly improve one's cultivation level to the later stage of Yuan Dan, but the speed of improvement after that drops significantly, and is not even as good as that of ordinary Yuan practitioners.
Once the body adapts to the secret method of cultivation, there will be no other path to cultivation.
Without a large number of Nirvana powerhouses, it would be impossible to control a mountain range.
More than five hundred years ago, the Liu family gave birth to a genius with the bones of a sandalwood bird.
Tanhu bones are first-class mortal bones.
Using the secret method of cultivating demons passed down from his family, the man entered Nirvana before he was twenty-eight years old.
Being able to enter the realm of Nirvana so quickly was due to the foundation of the first-class mortal bones and the help of the secret method of cultivating demons.
However, after entering Nirvana, his cultivation stopped progressing. Even though he practiced hard in seclusion, he still made no progress at all.
First-class mortal bones can help Yuan people quickly enter the realm of Nirvana. If they do not possess bones, they will not be of much help in improving their subsequent cultivation.
But it is of no help, and it will only appear in the later stages of Nirvana. It will be completely ineffective after reaching perfection.
Fortunately, that person's soul power was not weak, and there was no way to improve his cultivation, so he spent his time refining medicine.
That man's talent in refining medicine was even more terrifying than his cultivation, but he became a three-star king-level alchemist in just over twenty years.
After that, Nirvana masters from the eight sects often came to visit him and asked him to help him refine the elixir.
At the same time, the people of the Liu family had a lot of exchanges with these powerful men in the cultivation field, and they were also lucky enough to get the prescription of Ziyuan Dan.
One day, the Liu family's alchemist discovered several areas where purple dry grass grew in the Luoyun Mountains. Since then, the Liu family has become famous thanks to purple dry grass.
Although the Liu family has a great reputation, its strength is average, and there are not many Nirvana strong men.
Relying on the purple dry grass business, the Liu family has come into contact with more and more powerful people from the eight sects, many of whom also use the secret method of cultivating demons to improve their cultivation.
I learned from these strong men that there are two ways to advance your cultivation.
The first is to refine high-level monsters. In the later stages of the Yuan Dan realm, fourth-level monsters are needed to achieve the previous effects.
Level 4 monsters are as powerful as Nirvana, and hunting them is not easy.
What's more, there are only dozens of level four monsters in the entire Luoyun Mountains, so this method won't work.
The second method is to directly refine similar elements.
The Yuan Dan and the physical body of those who are in the Yuan Dan realm are both excellent materials for improving their cultivation in the same realm.
