Chapter 66 Who is he?
Feeling the full spiritual power in his body, Ye Chunyang showed a satisfied look.
The harvest this time was far beyond expectations.
Not only did he obtain six high-quality magic weapons, but he also devoured the Queen's soul, causing his cultivation level to skyrocket again, and he was only one step away from building a foundation.
"The Queen's soul is not trivial. I cannot refine it in a short time, but it can be left in the sea of consciousness and slowly digested. It is like a treasure for me to slowly dig out."
Perceiving with her mind, the sea of consciousness contains many memories of the Queen, as well as what she has practiced throughout her life. Among them, one of the "soul-sucking flames" is a high-level spell, and the remaining dozen are below the intermediate level.
Ye Chunyang was surprised. Knowing that he had not practiced advanced spells so far, he naturally had to accept them all.
However, this "Destructive Explosive Flame" is a fire-attribute spell that attacks a large area. Although it is powerful, it also consumes a lot of spiritual power. It can only be used reluctantly during the Qi refining period, and it must be established above the foundation to be skillful.
This is not a problem for Ye Chunyang. His spiritual power is several times more powerful than at the same time. Now it has reached the tenth level of Qi Refining. Not only is his spiritual power comparable to that of a foundation-building monk, it is not much different. Only the last barrier remains. That’s all.
"To successfully build the foundation, you must take the foundation building pill. Fortunately, I have prepared fourteen pills before, but I don't know how effective they are. When I go back this time, I can test the effect."
Now that he has reached the tenth level of Qi refining, it is the perfect time to take the foundation building pill. However, he does not plan to take it immediately. Instead, he will wait until he returns to the sect and Ye Xiaobao to cooperate with him to build the foundation. By then, the combined power of the two bodies will be enough. increased several times.
With a clear plan in mind, Ye Chunyang once again took out the "Tai Chi Five Elements Plate" and penetrated it with his spiritual consciousness.
The "Tai Chi Five Elements Plate" is the magic weapon of "Wu Yunzi" who deceived the Queen's feelings. It contains all the restrictions and routes of the ancient tree. When his spiritual consciousness penetrates into it, Ye Chunyang's mind reflects the microcosm of the internal structure of the ancient tree.
In order to avoid being chased, he forcibly jumped into the whirlpool. At this moment, the ancient tree had completely sunk into the ground, but this did not affect him. He quickly found a way out from the "Tai Chi Five Elements Plate" and quickly left this place.
…
Lingyun Sect, Dan Pavilion.
On the top floor of the attic, a quiet room exudes a faint glow, and a strong medicinal smell permeates it. A white-haired old man sits in meditation and controls the alchemy furnace in front of him.
After a long time, he opened his eyes and said to himself expressionlessly: "Since you are here, come in."
A moment after he finished speaking, the closed door opened, and a young girl came out and saluted her: "Xue Yuan pays homage to the master."
Master Yunzhen nodded slightly, looked at his favorite disciple, and said with a smile: "I heard that you went to ordinary life a few days ago, and did you gain anything?"
"Reporting to Master, this disciple is just following the order of Elder Tianji to kill the demon, and there is no other gain." Su Xueyuan said: "However, the demon has been trying to make a move recently, and I don't know what conspiracy is brewing. This time, my righteous disciple was also careless. Falling into their trap, each faction suffered heavy losses, and many disciples were captured by them."
"Is it?"
Master Yunzhen's gray eyebrows moved, and his eyes seemed a bit dark, but they quickly returned to normal.
He pondered for a while and said, "You don't care what the devil does, but I have something I want to ask you."
"It's been more than a year since your two members of the family joined the sect. How are their progress? You must know that you don't have much time left. You need to find a furnace as soon as possible to survive."
Master Yunzhen spoke with sincerity and sincerity, and was extremely concerned about this matter.
Su Xueyuan was frightened when she heard this and said hurriedly: "Thank you Master for your concern. Xueyuan has been secretly paying attention to this matter, and there are forbidden spells planted on both of them. Their every move is under my surveillance. Now they Their cultivation levels have also reached between the seventh and eighth levels of the Qi Refining Stage."
At this point, she hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "But a few days ago in the ordinary world, the disciple encountered a strange thing."
"What's the matter?" Master Yunzhen asked.
"It's strange to say that when fighting against the devil in the Daughter Kingdom's Tianmai Treasure House, the disciple once felt the fluctuation of the forbidden curse, but this curse obviously only existed on Ye Chunyang and Su Hu..."
Su Xueyuan looked confused. It had been several days since she came back from the Tianmai Treasure House, but she couldn't figure it out. Although her forbidden spell might be known to others, the same forbidden spell was cast by different people. , the mark is naturally different, Su Hu stayed in the sect, and she never saw Ye Chunyang during this trip.
"You mean these two were also in the crowd at that time?"
Master Yunzhen frowned, but Su Xueyuan shook her head after hearing this and said: "At that time, Qi refining disciples were selected to inquire about the magic path. Only Ye Chunyang was selected among the two, but he was not found in the Tianmai treasure house. There is a ghost-faced man acting suspiciously..."
"Ghost-faced man?" Master Yunzhen pondered for a while, then suddenly asked: "Have you ever met that boy Ye Chunyang during this trip?"
"Master, what you mean is...this ghost-faced man is related to Ye Chunyang?"
Su Xueyuan's expression changed.
"My disciple has also made some assumptions about this matter, but the ghost-faced man has reached the ninth level of Qi refining, and Ye Chunyang was only at the sixth level of Qi refining when he left the sect. The two cannot be the same person."
"If this ghost-faced man is really him, then he is not as simple as you and I imagined." Master Yunzhen sneered twice, "But we can put this matter aside for a while and retreat for a while. Learn more.”
"Yes, this disciple is planning to find a spiritual place to open a cave for retreat. This trip is to say farewell to Master." Su Xueyuan bowed her hands.
Master Yun Zhen was slightly satisfied and said with a smile: "That's good. I have a set of protective magic array here. You can set it up after opening the cave. Unless there are experts in the Jindan stage to investigate, no one will find your trace."
He threw out a set of array flags.
After a pause, he continued: "In addition, your senior brother Duan Qian sent me a message, mentioning that there is an extremely important matter that the master needs you to do."
"Senior brother Duan? Hasn't he been away for many years? I wonder what news he sent back?" Su Xueyuan frowned, and a strange color flashed across her eyes, as if she didn't like the person mentioned.
Master Yun Zhen naturally saw it, but he didn't care much. He just said lightly, "You don't need to ask more about this matter for the time being. After you come out of retreat, the master will naturally tell you."
Seeing this, Su Xueyuan stopped talking, bowed and left the quiet room, leaving Master Yun Zhen with a deep look in his eyes, as if hiding something in his heart.
...
Three months later
It was late at night, and the earth was as quiet as if it was sleeping.
However, just as everything was silent, a loud sound like a mountain collapse suddenly sounded on a barren mountain near the Kingdom of Women, and a light and shadow flew out of it and swept into the distance at a rapid speed.
This light and shadow was naturally Ye Chunyang who was flying with a flying tool.
It had been three months since the treasure hunt in the Tianmai Treasure House. Although he found a way out from the "Tai Chi Five Elements Plate", after all, the thousand-year-old tree had sunk into the ground, and Ye Chunyang had a lot of difficulties in finding the route. Fortunately, now both his spiritual consciousness and spiritual power have made great progress, and he has been safe all the way.
"I almost lost my life in this treasure hunt, and it's time to get some rewards."
Ye Chunyang thought gloomily while flying in the air with a flying tool.
Although he had a lot of gains this time, he encountered a series of misfortunes. First, he was attacked by Li Hong, then he ran away, and finally he was almost possessed by the Queen. Thinking back, it really makes people sweat.
Thinking back to when Princess Xuanyang agreed to the treasure hunt, she gave him the talisman pen and talisman paper as a reward, so now it was natural to go to her house to settle the accounts.
When he returned to Prince Xuan's mansion, he did not sneak around this time, but walked in openly from the front door.
After all, he had been lurking in the mansion before, so he did not show his true face this time, and still dressed as a ghost-faced man.
When several female guards with martial arts skills saw him dressed like this, and entered the mansion late at night, they were immediately alert and drew their swords, but they were just mortal bodies, and when Ye Chunyang released a faint spiritual pressure, they were frightened and trembling on their knees.
What surprised Ye Chunyang was that after asking, Princess Xuanyang was not in the mansion, but was made the crown prince three months ago and moved to the inner courtyard of the palace.
After asking around, Ye Chunyang suddenly realized.
As the only person who came back alive from the Tianmai treasure house, regardless of whether she entered the treetop to obtain the blood of the previous emperor, the throne could only belong to her.
It just so happens that tomorrow is the day when Princess Xuanyang ascends the throne.
However, it has nothing to do with him who ascends the throne of this country of women, and he has no interest in asking. He only wants to improve his strength this time.
After receiving the news at Prince Xuan's Mansion, he did not stay and flew directly to the palace.
The palace was heavily guarded, and many powerful guards gathered.
However, no matter how high the martial arts of mortals are, they are still mortals. Ye Chunyang wore a ghost mask and moved like the wind, coming and going without a trace. He easily captured a guard and asked the whereabouts of Princess Xuanyang from him.
After becoming the crown prince, Princess Xuanyang has entered the East Palace. According to the guard's words, Ye Chunyang came here soon.
Through the dim light, a graceful figure can be vaguely seen.
Her hair was still a little wet, sitting quietly in front of the dressing table, crystal water drops dripped from the end of her hair, and fell to the ground with a subtle sound.
This room was luxurious and quiet. There was no one else except this beautiful figure. All the maids and servants were dismissed by her. At this time, she did not wear a veil as usual, but stared at herself in the mirror.
It was a delicate and pretty face, with big watery eyes and a bit of tenderness, but the imperial nobility seemed to be born with her, making her overall temperament like a high and mighty queen. Men in the world would definitely go crazy for her when they saw her.
"The ancient flag is in his hand. Who is he...?"
Since coming out of the Tianmai Treasury, the scene of the ghost-faced man offering the ancient flag has been lingering in Princess Xuanyang's mind. After the chaos subsided, she also sent people to search nearby countless times, just to find that person and let him give an answer, but she could not find his trace.
"Are you still alive?" She smiled bitterly.
Maybe at the moment of jumping into the whirlpool, all the secrets went with him!
After a long time, Princess Xuanyang sighed faintly and got up to prepare for bed.
But at this moment, a hideous ghost mask that looked like a demon possessed suddenly appeared in front of her, causing her to shudder.
Her calm heart began to throb little by little.
But she didn't know that when the ghost-faced man saw her noble and beautiful face, his heart also began to beat fast, and he opened his eyes wide with deep disbelief.
"It turned out to be her!"
