Chapter 362: Broken Shell
"If it weren't for you, a bunch of incompetent losers, scheming and scheming all day long, how could my mission have failed!"
After saying that, Yingshan threw his hands down and smashed the two of them to the ground. At this moment, he was extremely angry. If it weren't for the sake of old friendship, he would have beheaded the two of them on the spot.
"You still want the Blood Spirit Jade? Haha, if you want to get it, go to the dragon in the cave and get it yourself. Don't bother me!"
After saying these words, Yingshan went directly to the west and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Zhang Tao and Zhang Fu looked at each other and sighed. Without Yingshan's help, how would they dare to enter the cave again and fight the dragon?
The more Zhang Fu thought about it, the angrier he became, and then he punched a rock. With a "bang" sound, the rock shattered into powder.
"Damn Yi Xifeng, if it weren't for him, how could I, Zhang Fu, be so humiliated!"
Zhang Tao also lamented: "Is this Blood Spirit Jade really no longer destined to belong to our clan? Alas."
…………
I don't know how long it took, but it was already dark when Yi Xifeng woke up. He lay on a hard stone slab and looked around, and found that he seemed to be in a pavilion.
"This is where?"
What caught his eye was a red pillar supporting the pavilion. There were three big characters printed on the pillar, "Ji Youren". Yi Xifeng was feeling strange when suddenly a gentle and soft voice came from behind him.
"You're awake."
After hearing the sound, Yi Xifeng tilted his head slightly and saw that the person who came was wearing a lavender dress and holding two gourds in his hand. It was Zhong Lingxi.
"How long have I... slept?" Yi Xifeng stretched out his hand to hold his forehead. Although the pain was no longer so painful, he still felt a little drowsy.
"It's been a whole day and a night."
After hearing this, Yi Xifeng breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Huh, it's okay, it's not too long."
"Fortunately, you are fine. I, Senior Xizhou and Sister Nanfeng are worried to death."
"I am also a Wind Breaker after all, this little injury won't kill me."
"You are not allowed to take such risks again." Zhong Lingxi pouted, her tone revealing complaints and a trace of worry.
"Ah haha, the weather is really nice today, suitable for fun..." Yi Xifeng said haha. He neither agreed nor refused, obviously he still refused to give up.
Zhong Lingxi sighed. Based on her understanding of Yi Xifeng, the other party would definitely try again in the future, and there was no way he could stop him. Then, she handed over the gourd filled with water and asked softly:
"How are you? Are you feeling better?"
He was about to stand up and take the gourd, but as soon as he moved his body, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, which went straight into his Dantian.
"hiss……"
Yi Xifeng subconsciously covered his stomach and took a big breath. He felt that he couldn't lift his abdomen now. Zhong Lingxi hurriedly stepped forward to support him.
"Your injury is not healed yet, so you should rest here for a while."
Yi Xifeng did not refute, he was not a macho person, he knew his current situation best, and there would be no good end if he persisted.
At this time, his Dantian was as hard as an iron plate.
The "Golden Pill" that entered his body did not dissipate on its own because of his failure to open the cave, but was absorbed by the chaotic energy. Not only that, he could feel that the chaotic energy was stronger than It was stronger before.
Yi Xifeng sighed, stealing chickens and losing rice, instead of solving the problem, it became more serious.
"I knew I should have dealt with the energy of chaos first, and then opened up the cave."
Although it was too late, fortunately, the barrier of his Dantian was not penetrated by the Nine Yang Divine Demonic Skill. If the barrier was penetrated, then all his Qi refining cultivation would be in vain.
Yi Xifeng took a general look at the injury and found that even with the help of the Nine Yang Divine Demon Art, it would take at least three to five days to fully recover.
"Since the Nine Yang Divine Demon Technique is ineffective, we have to try other methods."
Just as he was thinking about it, at this moment, two figures walked slowly from the dark night.
"Senior Xizhou, Sister Nanfeng, you are back!"
The people who came were the two sword spirits. Xizhou was seen holding two birds in his hands, and Nanfeng was holding some flour cakes that he got from nowhere. It turned out that these two people had gone out to find food.
Sword spirits do not need food. They only need to absorb the true energy scattered in the world to make a living. After making a simple meal, the four of them chatted about this secret place in the pavilion.
"If this secret realm is truly transformed by the 'Blood Emperor', then his cultivation has probably reached an extremely high level, perhaps the legendary Twelve Realm of Guixu." The speaker was Xizhou Sword Spirit, It is not difficult to see from this sentence that he still maintains a cautious attitude towards the "Blood Emperor".
"The Twelve Realms of Guixu..." Yi Xifeng began to fantasize. After all, after staying in the Seven Kingdoms Continent for so long, the warrior with the highest level of body training he knew was only Lord Poxu. As for Saint Guixu This kind of realm that only exists in legends, he is not sure whether it even exists.
"Is there really anyone in this world who can reach the Ruins Realm through physical training?" Yi Xifeng couldn't help but ask this question.
"Throughout the ages, there is only one 'Blood Emperor'."
The words of Xizhou Sword Spirit deeply shocked Yi Xifeng, and he continued to ask:
"That means that the term Guixu Saint actually evolved from the Blood Emperor?"
"Yes, but not entirely," the person who answered was not Xizhou, but Nanfeng. She continued: "The term Guixu Saint has actually been spread among body-refining warriors since ancient times, but there was no one at that time. People have reached this level before, so it can only be regarded as an idea of the peak of martial arts by body-refining warriors. After all, there are twelve levels of realms in qi-refining, and body-refining ones are naturally not to be outdone, so they also divided themselves into twelve levels."
Speaking of this, Nanfeng paused, her eyes lowered slightly. Obviously, she did not want to mention the name Blood Emperor. At this time, Xizhou Sword Spirit saw her difficulty, so he took the initiative to take over the topic and continued. said:
"It wasn't until thousands of years ago that a body-refining warrior known as the 'Blood Emperor' emerged. He led his men to fight everywhere and established a huge dynasty, named 'Wu Dynasty'. At that time, countless strong men from the Holy Realm He went to challenge the Blood Emperor and tried to defeat him and his dynasty, but in the end, without exception, they all died in his hands. Therefore, there is another saying that within the same realm, body-refining warriors crush qi-refining warriors. "
"The Blood Emperor has killed countless people in his life. Whether it is intelligence or martial arts talent, he is one of the best geniuses in history. Although I don't know what happened later to make the Blood Emperor transform into the Bloodstained Secret Realm, but he must have done so. He has a purpose."
Yi Xifeng fell into deep thought after hearing this. He had never seen the Blood Emperor himself, so he didn't know how strong this person was. But judging from Senior Xizhou's attitude towards this person, he could understand that the master of the Sword Tomb back then How scared he was when facing the "Blood Emperor".
"It seems that it is necessary to ask Elder Lu about the situation after we return. Elder Lu should know something, right?"
Yi Xifeng was also a little unsure about the information related to a big shot like the "Blood Emperor". Whether Elder Lu, who had always been "smart and clever", knew the truth.
"Senior Xizhou, what did you mean by 'opening a cave' yesterday?" The speaker was Zhong Lingxi. She was more concerned about opening a cave than the Blood Emperor. After all, it was related to Yi Xifeng's safety.
"Well, this matter starts with the Blood Emperor. As the only strong man who broke through to the Ruins Realm back then, it naturally attracted other body-refining warriors to follow suit. However, they also trained to the level of Lord Poxu just like today. Once they reached the first level, they could not rise any higher. Therefore, they began to conduct various experiments with the Blood Emperor as the goal, such as the technique of swallowing all kinds of magic, the technique of soul-changing body, etc., and opened up the cave. Technique is just one of them."
"The attempt is dangerous, and may even cost one's life. Countless people have come forward one after another, but no one has ever broken through that barrier. Compared with the obsession of those who devour all laws, the amnesia of those who reincarnate and change bodies, etc., opening up a cave is the most dangerous thing. It's a dangerous kind, and most warriors don't dare to try it because they are afraid of death, because except for a few warriors who have lost all their skills, almost all the others who have tried it have exploded and died."
After finishing speaking, Xizhou Jian suddenly sighed, as if he was lamenting the past.
"If it's so dangerous, why let Yi Xifeng try it?" Zhong Lingxi was unwilling to let Yi Xifeng take risks and pursue that illusory possibility.
"If the secret realm is really the body of the 'Blood Emperor', then 'opening the cave' is probably the real way to enter the Ruins Realm."
"Then why not wait until he enters the Void-breaking Realm before trying it? This will at least maximize the safety of his life."
Faced with Zhong Lingxi's doubts, it was Nanfeng Sword Spirit who answered her.
"Once it enters the Broken Void Realm, its entire physical body will be connected as one, and then it will no longer be possible to open a cave."
"Uh... Excuse me, why do I still have my skills even though I failed to open up?" Yi Xifeng suddenly interrupted.
"I can only say that the 'Nine Yang Divine Demonic Art' you have practiced is far more powerful than you imagined." Xizhou Sword Spirit only said half of what he said. He had promised Lu Zhanyuan not to leak the other half, even if it was Yi Xifeng, who practices this technique, can't tell either.
While the four of them continued to chat about the Blood Emperor, Zhong Lingxi suddenly felt something near her feet pressing against the edge of her shoes. When she lowered her head, she saw that it was the Archaeopteryx egg.
"Huh? Why did the bird egg roll here?"
With that said, she picked up the dome from the ground and tried to put it back into the bag. At this time, there was a scratching sound of the bird egg, and cracks appeared on the eggshell. The next moment, a small bird head broke the eggshell and exposed its head. However, due to the dark field of vision, Zhong Lingxi could not see the eggshell. This "object" doesn't look real.
"Bird...the egg is broken..."
The chatter among the people suddenly stopped.
…
"This...is this Archaeopteryx?" Although Yi Xifeng couldn't "stay", he could still barely see it when he turned his face to the side.
"Impossible, this is obviously the egg of Archeopteryx, why did this hatch out?!"
"Senior Xizhou, did you make a mistake?"
Xizhou suddenly fell into silence, because the creature in front of him was not Archaeopteryx at all, but a "Qingluan".
Qingluan belongs to the wind and is extremely fast. It is an extremely rare thing in the world. Different from ordinary monsters, this little Qingluan has the strength to break out of its shell and reach the realm of Qi. At this moment, it is being held by Zhong Lingxi. In the middle, he was making random noises, as if he was begging for food.
Fortunately, there was some leftover food from the food just finished, which was fed to the little Qingluan. However, the little Qingluan only ate meat and didn't touch half of the bread.
"Oh, he is still a pure carnivore." Even lying on the stone slab, Yi Xifeng still did not forget to complain.
After eating, the little Qingluan fluttered its wings and flew into Zhong Lingxi's arms. Apparently, it regarded the other person as its "mother".
"A bird will regard the first life it sees after breaking out of its shell as its mother. Lingxi, congratulations, you are now a mother."
Although it was just a joke, Zhong Lingxi still blushed a little after hearing these words. She glared at Yi Xifeng angrily and wanted to retaliate. Then, the little Qingluan in her arms suddenly "bared her teeth and claws" It screamed at the fair young man, and the next moment it flew directly to Yi Xifeng's head, and began to peck his head with its small beak, causing several small bubbles to appear on Yi Xifeng's head.
Although Yi Xifeng is a body-refining warrior, he is now a wounded person, so he cannot withstand such a torment.
"Hey, hey, hey, you stinky bird, don't force me to beat you." Of course, Yi Xifeng was just talking. He didn't have the strength to drive away Little Qingluan now. In the end, it was Zhong Lingxi who hugged Little Qingluan. gone.
"You'd better rest well and say less."
…………
"Commander Yingshan, why are you here today?"
Yingshan sighed in his heart, walked slowly to the desk, stepped back with his right knee, and half-knelt on the ground.
"Yingshan is willing to be punished. Please punish the deputy chief!"
The man in red robe at the desk looked up at him, then flipped through the book casually, and said:
"What crime did Commander Yingshan commit?"
"My subordinate failed to seize the Blood Spirit Jade from those two outsiders, and also... let the Blood Spirit Jade fall into the hands of the black scale dragon. It is my fault..." After saying this, , Yingshan lowered his head so low that it almost touched the wooden board under his feet.
The man in red robe continued to flip through the book and asked, "Have you ever seen that stone tower?"
"Deputy Chief, I saw it."
"What else is under the stone tower?"
"There is nothing else under the stone tower, but there is a strange thing in the cold pool that is so cold that it can corrode the body of my subordinates."
"Oh?" After hearing these words, the deputy chief looked up at Yingshan, "Have you ever entered the inside of the stone tower?"
"Deputy Chief, the ancient dragon salamander crystal core you ordered your subordinates to obtain attracted the black scale dragon, and the dragon actually broke through to the realm where the Beast Emperor entered the house. The subordinates were unable to defeat it and had no chance to enter the tower. Later, For some unknown reason, the mountain collapsed, and my subordinates took the Zhang family members and escaped from the cave, and Zhang Miao of the Zhang family also died inside."
