Li Yuan explained: "I encountered some minor troubles on the road. Besides, I am not a golden-winged cicada and I am not familiar with this area.
"You have a natural advantage in this area. In terms of speed, except for the Ice Fiend Monster Chan, there is probably no other Yuan being of the same realm who can compare with it."
"That's right!" Jin Rui said proudly.
"What kind of place is Cicada Cave? It seems different from other places. I forgot to ask you before." Li Yuan asked.
The temptation of the Five Evil Blood Qi Pills was too great. Jin Rui was very respectful to Li Yuan and answered his questions.
Cicada Cave is extremely small in the entire Qianjue Cicada Ridge, but it is very famous and can be regarded as a dividing line.
The east part belongs to the periphery of Qianjue Cicada Ridge, and the west part is the real Thousand Jue Cicada Ridge.
Stretching for hundreds of thousands of miles, except for the low-lying Cicada Cave, which is easy to enter, the other areas are all huge mountains towering like clouds.
If you want to go from other places, you have to pass through the clouds. No one knows how many ice evil cicadas there are.
After passing this place, the terrain inside becomes higher and higher, and few Yuan people can live there all year round.
As for the origin of the Cicada Cave, it is closely related to the Golden Winged Cicada.
The golden cicada bones in the body of the golden-winged cicada need to be differentiated into enough spiritual bones to be the true golden cicada bones.
The Golden Cicada Bone produces a Heavenly Cicada Spirit Bone every three years, which is one of the key materials for refining the Qi Yuan Pill.
Most Yuan beings such as heavenly spirits, orcs, and humans are different from monster beasts. They need Qi pools to convert elixirs before they can enter the Yuan Dan realm.
In order to cross this step, many strong men madly imprisoned the Golden-winged Cicada and took away the spiritual bones of the Cicada.
In order to solve this problem, the Golden Winged Cicada tribe came up with a way.
When the Tian Cicada's spirit bone had just formed, it was removed and placed in the body of the Ice Demon Cicada to cultivate and take shape.
The body strength and bloodline of the Ice Demon Cicada cannot be compared with that of the Golden Winged Cicada.
The heavenly cicada bone in the body of the fourth-level golden-winged heavenly cicada can differentiate into a formed spiritual bone every three years. After taking it out, it can continue to differentiate into the next one.
When the Ice Demon Cicada cultivates a Heavenly Cicada spirit bone, it will extract all the life essence in the body.
In other words, the day when the Tian Chan's spiritual bones were formed was the day when the Ice Demon Cicada fell.
The spiritual bone of the Heavenly Cicada is placed in the body of the Ice Demon Cicada, and the Golden-winged Heavenly Cicada can control the Ice Demon Cicada.
The Cicada Cave is the place where these ice evil cicadas fall, and where the golden-winged cicada harvests the spiritual bones of the cicada.
There were too many dead demonic cicadas, and it was inevitable that some of the missing spiritual bones of the cicadas would be here, so this place was considered a treasure in Qianjue Cicada Ridge.
There is no snow in Cicada Cave. No one knows the specific reason why.
Perhaps it was influenced by the Heavenly Cicada Spiritual Bone, because the Heavenly Cicada Spiritual Bone can be regarded as a great help in forcibly guiding Yuanzhe's Qi pool to transform into elixirs.
Stepping into the Yuandan realm, you will not be disturbed by the natural cold and heat.
According to Jin Rui, those who are at the top of the Nirvana realm will not waste time looking for the spiritual bones of the Cicada and will not stay here.
After passing the Cicada Cave, everyone scattered around to find what they wanted.
Knowing that he was unable to compete for Luo Lian's power in Jinhun Land, he naturally would not go there.
From the beginning, most Yuan people had the idea of attacking battlefield ruins.
After Jin Rui handed Qing Cuiling to Li Yuan, he entered Chanling Ridge with a strong man from the same clan. He wanted to raise materials to refine the Five Evil Blood Qi Pills.
The Five Evil Blood Qi Pill is not a pill for human cultivation, and the materials are extremely rare.
However, monsters basically collect related materials, but there are no alchemists in the Qinggu Continent to refine them.
Therefore, it should not be difficult to raise materials.
Li Yuan asked Jin Rui to prepare all the materials and go to Qingmu Hall to find him.
Watching the golden glowing team leave, Li Yuan sighed and added a little trouble.
Jin Rui will definitely collect the materials at all costs, and if the news spreads, it will probably be more than just refining a few pills.
Many Yuan people stayed in the Cicada Cave to look for the spiritual bones of the Heavenly Cicada, and they probably would not go inside anymore. Li Yuan did not join them.
Although the spiritual bones of Tianchan are precious, they have long been out of his sight.
Going forward, the average Yuan person is unlikely to survive.
Even if there are strong men at the level of eight elders leading the team, they may not be able to walk out of the depths of Cicada Ridge alive.
After spending some yuan stones and exchanging a Snow Cloud Lion with a team that did not intend to go deep, Li Yuan set off again.
Sitting on the back of Xueyun Lion, Li Yuan felt quite comfortable.
Walking alone for this period of time is too slow.
He originally planned to go directly to Baiyuan Linhai, the area where Luo Lian appeared in Jinhun Land.
But along the way, I heard that Baiwufang's team went to a place called Xueyue Lake.
Qiu Yuyan of Baiwufang personally went out and became furious in Luochan Valley in order to track down the whereabouts of Chuexue Chihuoling.
Li Yuan thought about it carefully, and it should be for outsiders to see.
Qiu Yuyan plus Gambling Hong Tao, this lineup does not go to Luo Lian to find Jinhun, nor to those battlefield ruins, what else is it going to do elsewhere.
I bet that Hong Tao is a strong person at the peak of Nirvana, and there seem to be several protectors in the team who are at the peak of Nirvana in the later stages of Bihai Pavilion.
With a flip of his back palm, Li Yuan took out the scroll and unfolded it. Suddenly, the shadow of Qianjue Chan Ridge appeared in front of him, and he checked the location of Xueyue Lake.
The specific location of Xueyue Lake is not clear on the map, it is just a general range.
"It's not on the map, so is there such a place?" Li Yuan thought to himself, "It seems that Xueyue Lake is not easy to be able to let Du Hongtao, the elder of Bihai Pavilion, personally take action."
Putting away the scroll, controlling the Snow Cloud Lion, he flew towards the general direction of Xueyue Lake.
………
The sky is full of wind and snow, and the cold air is lingering.
The vitality of heaven and earth is so rich that it makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Deep in the Cicada Ridge, on the surface of Crescent Moon Lake, countless snowflakes rippled on the water, but they did not melt instantly or accumulate.
On one side of the lake, there are cliffs, which are very straight and spread for dozens of miles, as if a giant ax has been used to chop off the mountain peaks.
On the other side of the lake, there was a team with a large number of Yuanshi.
"Elder Gambling, are you really prepared to break through here?
“We ventured into Cicada Ridge a few years ago and sacrificed many members before we could find out the specific location of Xueyue Lake.
"We haven't explored its mystery yet, whether there is any danger." Qiu Yuyan, who had white hair, said worriedly.
The slender Gong Hongtao glanced sideways at Qiu Yuyan and said, "I have traveled 60 million miles to come here. Is it just for fun?"
"It's me who talks too much." Qiu Yuyan said.
“This time, many precious medicines appeared in the world, and the Ice Demon Cicada finally calmed down. This is a rare opportunity.
"I am approaching the end of my life, I must give it a try."
Gambling Hongtao paused, walked back and forth by the lake, looked at the cotton-like snowflakes floating on the lake, and said: "In the future, when you reach the peak of perfection, you can come here to make a breakthrough."
"Me?" Qiu Yuyan was stunned.
Gambling Hongtao said: "Hundreds of thousands of years ago, an ancestor in my pavilion fought here with a strong man who was half a step into the Life Spirit Realm, and both of them died in the end.
"I also accidentally heard an elder in the pavilion talk about this matter.
"Do you think that we passed on the secret technique of cultivating demons to you just to cultivate a force in the far west of the continent?
"The real purpose is for you to find the specific location of Xueyue Lake."
Qiu Yuyan nodded, thought for a while, and asked weakly: "Could it be that the fallen ancestor of Bihai Pavilion left here a way to break through to the Yuanshen Realm?"
Gambling Hongtao shook his head and said: "There is no solution left, but the ancestor's opponent at that time was not a human being, but the mythical beast Phantom Wave Scarlet Snow Silkworm.
"To be precise, the Phantom Wave Scarlet Snow Silkworm is not a pure-blooded beast, but evolved from it.
"My pavilion's secret technique of cultivating demons and refining the Yuan can break through cultivation very quickly, and you should benefit a lot from this.
"Back then, the ancestor was also a strong man who was half-step into the Life Spirit Realm. If he could refine the Phantom Wave Scarlet Snow Silkworm, he would be able to break through to the Life Spirit Realm.
“Although the number of bones in the body of the Phantom Wave Scarlet Snow Silkworm is at the earth bone level, it has its own life source energy. It is one of the few non-pure-blood beasts that can easily advance to the life spirit realm.
"The Phantom Wave Scarlet Snow Silkworm, who is half-step into the Life Spirit Realm, has an extremely rich Life Source Qi.
“You don’t need to evolve Yuan Bone into Heavenly Bone to enter the Life Spirit Realm.
"Of course, if the Yuan Bone does not reach the level of Heavenly Bone, after entering the Life Spirit Realm, the cultivation level will stop."
Qiu Yuyan said blankly: "The energy of life? What is that?"
“I don’t know much about it either.” Gambling Hongtao simply explained, “I learned from the ancient books in the pavilion that only by possessing enough life source energy can one reach the life spirit realm.
"Xueyue Lake is the place where two powerful men fell, which is why the vitality of heaven and earth here is so strong.
“Although hundreds of thousands of years have passed, their strong heritage is still there.
"Other Yuan practitioners may not be able to break through, but my pavilion's secret technique of cultivating demons can.
"The secret method and the Phantom Wave Scarlet Snow Silkworm are a perfect match. With the protection of the ancestors, the chance of breakthrough is even greater."
After finishing speaking, Qi Hongtao took out hundreds of silk patterns and a scroll from the Yun Ring, handed them to Qiu Yuyan, and said: "Let people activate these silk patterns to form an elemental array according to the scroll graphics."
"Do you want to go and investigate the lake carefully to prevent other monsters from living here?" Qiu Yuyan asked.
Du Hongtao looked up at the sky, then looked at the mountains around him, and said, "No need, things will change if you wait too long.
"There is no Snow Destroying Red Fire Ling now, so we can't allow us to think too much. Now there aren't many ice demon cicadas to disturb us."
"Yes." Qiu Yuyan nodded and started to take action.
"Master Qiu." Gambling Hongtao suddenly thought of something, "You passed on the secret technique of cultivating demons to Siko Aoye of Qianxue City, but you didn't get the account of Snow-Destroying Red Fire Ling as you expected. I haven't settled with you yet."
Qiu Yuyan felt cold in her heart and said hurriedly: "Elder Gambling, that old guy Siko Aoye had already promised to give Chuxue Chihuoling.
"But a precious medicine suddenly appeared in Qianjue Chan Ridge, and he changed his mind temporarily. He said he would give it to me after this happened."
"It should have given you a lot of benefits." Gambling Hongtao said coldly, "Do you think my pavilion will support your Baiwufang or the Sikou family now?"
Hearing this, Qiu Yuyan trembled with fright.
Gambling Hongtao thought for a while and then said: "Forget it, I won't pursue it anymore.
"After I step into the Yuanshen Realm, you will go with me to destroy the Sikou family."
Hearing this, Qiu Yuyan was even more frightened.
The Siko family is such a big family, it can be destroyed at any time.
However, I bet that if Hong Tao breaks through to the Yuanshen realm, he can really destroy him.
Even if they can't kill them all, the Siko family will fall.
Qiu Yuyan hurriedly explained: "Elder Gambling, we had already won the Snow-Destroying Red Fire Ling at the Qianxue City Auction Conference.
"But the team waiting for us to join together, whether it was due to encountering a tide of beasts or other forces, all fell, and the whereabouts of Snow-Destroying Red Fire Ling were also missing."
"It doesn't matter that there are precious medicines appearing in the world to protect us, and the Indestructible Snow Red Fire Ribbon doesn't matter much." Gambling Hongtao waved his hand, then glanced around and urged, "Hurry up and do the work."
"Yes!" Qiu Yuyan nodded slightly and immediately directed his men to activate the pattern according to the graphics on the scroll.
After a while, the patterns and silk were activated, and a Huayuan Array was constructed within a radius of five miles. Countless Yuan stones were placed there, making the Yuan Qi in the array even more intense.
Immediately afterwards, Gambling Hongtao waved his hand, and hundreds of corpses and thousands of fourth-level monsters appeared on the ground.
After that, he took out a half-foot-high, green and blood-red hood, which was very strange, and threw it into the sky.
Suddenly, the entire Huayuan Formation was shrouded in blood-red mist, which looked particularly abrupt in the vast white sky and earth.
"Elder Gambling, what kind of Yuanbao is this? Why do you feel that the environment here has become the same as the blood pool of the person who refines Yuan?" Qiu Yuyan asked.
Gambling Hongtao's face was gloomy, but a strange smile appeared: "This thing is called the Taiyin Biyou Cover. It is a top-grade mysterious treasure and one of the most precious treasures in my pavilion. It can instantly set up a blood pool.
"I brought you out from the pavilion on purpose. Okay... Take your people and go outside the formation to protect me.
"Once there is an ice demon cicada approaching, kill it at all costs."
"Yes." Qiu Yuyan bowed and stepped back.
Twenty miles away from here, under the cliff, a blue figure quietly investigated what was happening by the lake.
"In order to break through to the Soul Realm, this old guy killed so many Nirvana Realms." Li Yuan said to himself, "I don't know how long they stayed here, but fortunately they finally found them."
Li Yuan frowned when he thought about how many Yuan practitioners would suffer if Hong Tao broke through to the Yuanshen realm.
"Hey, the bottom of the lake seems..." Li Yuangang took back his soul power, but his soul made a sound of surprise. There seemed to be something strange at the bottom of the lake.
"What's wrong?" Li Yuan asked.
Lingdao: "The lake is filled with powerful energy, even more so than the Wood Spirit Valley.
“The cold energy here is very useful to Qing’er.
"When she comes out of the Wood Spirit Valley, her cultivation will be stable for a few years. If she comes back to practice here, her cultivation will definitely increase greatly again."
Li Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this. He didn't expect to follow him, but found that such a treasured land for cultivation was not in vain.
He used his soul power to explore the bottom of the lake, and was so surprised that he almost screamed.
"Since there are Hundred Illusion Soul Crystals! How can there be such high-grade materials in this lake?"
Ling thought for a while and said: "The old guy in Bihai Pavilion mentioned that a phantom scarlet snow silkworm with a half-step life spirit realm died here, which is probably true.
"The Hundred Fantasy Soul Crystal and the Jinhun Land Luo Lian are both sixth-level special materials, and they are also precious medicines, and their real value is higher than the latter.
"This object is not naturally formed, but is the result of the fall of some powerful divine beasts that survived the catastrophe.
"The Phantom Wave Scarlet Snow Silkworm is not a pure-blooded beast, it can be regarded as having its own bloodline.
"It's not impossible if the Phantom Wave Scarlet Snow Silkworm at the half-step Life Spirit Realm turns into a Hundred Fantasy Soul Crystals."
Li Yuan suddenly realized, a complex look flashed in his eyes, and said: "There is such a treasure hidden in the lake. Could it be that God wants Du Hongtao to break through?"
Two people have achieved Nirvana, and one is even at the peak of perfection. Plus six people who have reached the peak of late Nirvana, and there are still so many little shrimps.
Even if Li Yuan was acting arrogantly, he would not dare to sneak into the lake to collect the Hundred Illusion Soul Crystals in front of so many strong men.
Xueyue Lake is not small, so it is not good to have the Baihuan Soul Crystal born anywhere, but at the place where Hong Tao breaks through.
It is estimated that he was beaten out by other strong men as an intruder before he even reached the lake.
"When they leave, shall I go down and get the Hundred Illusion Soul Crystals? I don't know when it will take for his breakthrough." Li Yuan said distressedly.
"Giant swallowing fish..." Linghu said doubtfully.
When Li Yuan heard this, he immediately explored the bottom of the lake, and there was an aura of terror.
"What is a giant swallowing fish?" Li Yuan asked.
Lingdao: "I didn't expect that there are monsters with the bloodline of ancient monsters in Qinggu Continent.
"Although this demon has half a foot on the fifth level and no bones in its body, it can still be considered to be intelligent, like a three or five-year-old child."
If there is no Yuan Bone in the monster's body, if it wants to possess the wisdom of an adult human, it must survive the catastrophe and become a level six monster.
Monsters of this level are quite rare, and most monsters can only stay at the fifth level in the end.
"Hey... there is a way."
The corners of Li Yuan's mouth raised slightly, and he slowly lurked over.
"Wait..." Ling said hurriedly.
Before Ling finished speaking, the Yuan patterns around him flickered, emitting dazzling brilliance, and various Yuan powers slashed at Li Yuan like sharp swords.
