Chapter 890 Return to the Spiritual Heaven
There was a flash of light in front of his eyes. When Ye Chunyang stabilized his body, he found himself in a stone house several feet wide. The surroundings were dark and lightless. From time to time, a chilly air came, as if he was in a thousand-year-old ice cellar.
At this time, Ye Chunyang suddenly found that there was an ancient altar under his feet. There was no spiritual light around it, as if it had been abandoned for a long time.
Ye Chunyang looked up and down for a few times, and his heart condensed slightly. He felt that everything here was very familiar. He had been here before.
"This is... Lingtianjie Ice Valley!"
After recalling for a moment in his mind, Ye Chunyang suddenly remembered something, and his heart suddenly shook, revealing an incredible expression. At the same time, a white light flashed beside him, and the Ice Spirit Fruit Tree transformed into a girl and stood beside Ye Chunyang, but seeing her pale face at this time, it was obvious that her situation was not very good.
"Brother Ye, are you okay?" Lu Xiaodie resisted the weakness in her body and greeted Ye Chunyang with a smile.
Ye Chunyang frowned slightly, looked at Lu Xiaodie in silence for a while, then shook his head and said, "I'm fine. I didn't expect your true form to be an ice spirit fruit tree. It's ridiculous that we fought over a fake tree."
With a half-smile, Ye Chunyang took out a bottle of pills and handed it to Lu Xiaodie, "You just formed a pill, and you used your magical power to take me into space. I think you consumed a lot. Take this pill and you can recover a little."
"Brother Ye, I won't refuse. I have to thank Brother Ye for his help in successfully advancing to the Jindan stage." Lu Xiaodie smiled sweetly, took the pill and took it, and immediately sat down to rest.
Ye Chunyang looked at him, with countless questions in his mind, but this was not the time to ask questions, so he had to wait for this girl to recover.
While Lu Xiaodie was recovering, Ye Chunyang was also looking around, and he was more and more surprised.
The altar was still the same altar as before, and the several arches around it were where they came from the Ice Valley. They thought that this place had collapsed after the healing of the Spiritual Heaven Realm, but it was still safe and sound.
Looking at the familiar scene around him, Ye Chunyang couldn't help but sigh. He didn't expect that he would return here again after so many years.
However, seeing the dead silence of the stone house, his heart kept sinking. According to his understanding, the power of the seal of the Spiritual Heaven Realm will only be reduced every three hundred years. According to the time, there are at least two hundred years before the next opening. Now that they have come here, won't they be trapped here for two hundred years?
"I think Brother Ye has already figured out what this place is."
Just as Ye Chunyang was thinking secretly, Lu Xiaodie had already withdrawn from the practice and smiled at him.
"Of course you can see that this is the Ice Valley Altar where the various sects in Chaos Demon Realm fought for the Ice Spirit Fruit, right?" Ye Chunyang looked at Lu Xiaodie, his eyes showing some depth, "But I didn't expect that the real Ice Spirit Fruit Tree was actually Daoyou."
"Yes, I am the tree spirit of the Ice Spirit Fruit Tree. This is not something I deliberately concealed. Although I have already produced Ice Spirit Fruits, every time I pick one, I will lose a hundred years of my life. There were many masters back then. If my identity was exposed, you can also predict my fate."
Lu Xiaodie sighed.
As if she thought of something, she then added: "But then again, I did need Brother Ye's Pixiu blood to practice back then, so I followed Brother Ye."
"It doesn't matter, I should have thought of this earlier. Back then, the cultivators of various sects fought here but failed to get the Ice Spirit Fruit, but you took it out easily. Now that I think about it, the only one who can do this is the Ice Spirit Fruit Tree itself." Ye Chunyang said with a smile.
He is not a saint. The Ice Spirit Fruit can increase lifespan by a hundred years, which is an irresistible temptation for any cultivator. When he knew that Lu Xiaodie was the tree spirit of the Ice Spirit Fruit Tree, he could not help but be tempted. However, the Ice Spirit Fruit can only be taken once. It will no longer work if taken multiple times. Lu Xiaodie had given him one before, so it would be useless even if he got another one.
Moreover, although Ye Chunyang is not a self-righteous person, he will not be so cruel as to attack the people around him. If it were not for Lu Xiaodie's help this time, he would probably have difficulty escaping from the hands of the Ancient Heavenly Demon. He would not do such a ruthless and unrighteous thing as repaying kindness with hatred.
"Brother Ye, who was the person who was chasing you in the Immortal Tribulation Land before? Judging from his aura, he seems to be not an ordinary human cultivator, and his cultivation is so strong that he has reached the Nascent Soul Stage." Lu Xiaodie glanced at him and asked the doubts in her heart.
"This person is the Ancient Heavenly Demon from the Outer Demon Realm. He has been sealed in the human world for a long time. This time he was able to escape because of the sudden break of the seal." Ye Chunyang waved his hand and said.
"Demon Realm?"
Lu Xiaodie's face was full of doubt, and she seemed a little confused about it.
Ye Chunyang himself didn't fully understand the matter of the ancient demon. Seeing that the woman looked puzzled, he simply explained a few words, and then changed the subject, saying: "When we were chased by the ancient demon, we were still in the Western Regions. Now we have suddenly returned to the Northern Wilderness and appeared in this spiritual world. This should have something to do with you, right?"
When Lu Xiaodie showed her true body and brought him into the light cocoon, Ye Chunyang clearly felt the fluctuation of space transmission, and the two were connected. Ye Chunyang didn't believe that Lu Xiaodie had such magical powers with her cultivation of barely forming a pill. She should have prepared some means in advance.
"As expected of Brother Ye, you can see through my means at a glance." Lu Xiaodie showed an innocent smile and said: "To be honest with Brother Ye, in fact, this Lingtian Ice Valley is where I grew up. The altar here is connected to my life. No matter where I am, I can always come back here through the tree spirit origin."
Ye Chunyang was stunned.
There are such wonderful things in the world. If it is true as Lu Xiaodie said, even if she is in a desperate situation, she will not be threatened at all. She can get away at any time by activating this teleportation method. No matter how powerful the enemy is, they cannot track her.
As if seeing what Ye Chunyang was thinking, Lu Xiaodie smiled and said, "Although I can return to the altar here at any time through the connection of the original power, it takes a lot of vitality every time I activate it, and I can only activate it once every hundred years, otherwise it will not work."
"So that's it." Hearing this, Ye Chunyang suddenly understood.
He looked at Lu Xiaodie deeply. Such a non-human and non-demon existence made him a little confused, and what the other party said to himself in the Lingbao Mountain Tunnel before was probably not credible.
However, everyone has their own secrets, and Ye Chunyang did not intend to ask anything, just thinking about how to leave here.
After a moment of silence, he said, "The seal of the Spiritual Heaven Realm will only loosen every three hundred years. Now there are at least two hundred years before the next opening. Do you have any other way to leave?"
"This is exactly what I am worried about. In fact, for us cultivators, one or two hundred years will pass in the blink of an eye. If I were alone, it would be fine to practice here quietly, but the seal of the Spiritual Heaven Realm has a restrictive power on you human cultivators. If Brother Ye stays here for a long time, he will definitely be involved in the turbulence of the void." Lu Xiaodie tilted her little head, and a thoughtful expression appeared on her little face.
Ye Chunyang's face was slightly gloomy. Back then, Master Chen Gu of Wuji Palace forced his way into the Spiritual Heaven Realm with his late Jindan cultivation, which caused the space to be unstable. He was trapped in the space layer for a full ten years.
Now his cultivation has reached the middle Jindan stage. If he stays here for a long time, the past will inevitably repeat itself. This is why he is eager to find a way to leave. And from Lu Xiaodie's tone, it seems that because she is a tree spirit, she is not restricted at all.
"Is there no other way?"
Ye Chunyang's face was a little ugly as his mind flickered.
Lu Xiaodie's face was slightly condensed, and she seemed to be thinking about something. After a moment, she shook her head and said, "I'm sorry that I can't do anything. Although I am not restricted by the restrictions of this Lingtian Realm, I can't tear the seal of the barrier and leave once I am teleported back."
Ye Chunyang's heart sank.
"But many years ago, I traveled around the ruins of the Lingtian Realm and accidentally discovered a secret method to break the ban. It can break the barrier within a certain period of time and leave this place." Just when Ye Chunyang was secretly gloomy, Lu Xiaodie spoke.
"The secret method to break the barrier?" Ye Chunyang's heart moved.
Lu Xiaodie nodded, as if she wanted to say something, but after looking at Ye Chunyang, she hesitated.
Seeing this, Ye Chunyang could not help but frown, with a flash of surprise in his eyes, and said: "I see that fellow Daoist has concerns. Is there something special about this secret method?"
Lu Xiaodie pondered for a moment and said: "I got this secret method by accident, but the conditions for practicing it are very harsh. It must be practiced by cultivators in the late Jindan stage. Those below this level are not enough to perform it. However, if the cultivation level is too high, the spiritual power will be too strong when performing the spell, causing the void to be unstable. Moreover, this method has never been tried by anyone. Whether it can be successful or not, I dare not guarantee it."
Ye Chunyang was stunned when he heard this. If this is true, he is indeed unable to practice it at the middle stage of Jindan. The main body has a slightly higher cultivation level, and performing it will also cause the space to collapse. Such conditions are really incredible.
"Can I see the method of the secret technique?" After thinking for a moment, Ye Chunyang asked.
Seeing his calm expression, Lu Xiaodie was a little surprised, but still touched the Qiankun bag and took out a jade slip.
Ye Chunyang didn't say much. After taking the jade slip, he probed into it with his consciousness and studied it carefully.
About half an hour later, he opened his eyes, and his face changed several times. He seemed a little surprised, but also a little surprised. Finally, he was silent.
"This method has never been practiced by anyone. Brother Ye, don't you want to break through the late stage of Jindan at this time?" Lu Xiaodie asked suspiciously.
Ye Chunyang was silent.
After a moment, he frowned slightly and said, "This method is indeed a bit strange, but now that we are trapped here, there is no other way to do it. Why can't Ye give it a try?"
Lu Xiaodie was dumbfounded when she heard this.
Ye Chunyang didn't say a word. As soon as he finished speaking, he put away the jade slip and walked down the altar, looking for an archway to hide in it.
