Chapter 1596: The Jade Soul Stone of the Grand Master
At the foot of Tianxuan Mountain, there is a swamp.
It was night, and the sky above the swamp was hazy and silent, with only the mud flowing slowly.
Suddenly, a sharp sound of breaking wind was heard.
Above the swamp, a stream of light flashed wildly, and several figures rode the auspicious clouds and fled quickly.
There were a total of five people in the escaping light, with a fierce breath, all of whom were powerful cultivators in the Spiritual Transformation Realm.
With the cultivation of these five people, they would be very powerful no matter where they were placed, but at this time they were full of fear, and kept looking back while running, as if they were avoiding something terrible.
"Lu Laogui, didn't you say that the ancient monster that escaped from Tianxuan Mountain was only the second-level upper level, and we could easily kill it with our combined strength? Now it is actually the third level, comparable to the existence of a Jindan cultivator, no matter what this matter is, you have to give us an explanation!"
A woman in the front cursed, staring at a fat old man beside her with a bad look.
As she spoke, she couldn't help but look back, her face full of vigilance.
Obviously, this encounter left her with lingering fears.
"According to the information I have obtained, the ancient monster is indeed only at the upper level of the second level. It seems that the information is wrong." The old man's mouth twitched and said.
The other three spiritual transformation cultivators gnashed their teeth when they heard this.
The woman surnamed Wen snorted coldly.
In order to ambush the ancient monster, they almost lost their lives. How could they just say "the information is wrong" to get away with it?
The fat old man said: "By the way, we have discussed it before this trip. Whoever can kill this monster can become the leader of the five sects of our Guiku Mountain. You all have no objection to this."
The woman surnamed Wen frowned.
The old man continued: "But I didn't expect that the ancient monster that escaped from Tianxuan Mountain is so powerful. Fortunately, we ran fast just now, otherwise we would have become the monster's meal."
As soon as the voice fell, the old man felt several murderous eyes.
The woman surnamed Wen said with a cold expression: "You still have the nerve to mention this matter. If we hadn't been alerted in advance, do you think we would have had room to escape from the third-level monster?"
The other three people also looked ugly.
The old man smiled awkwardly.
Just as he wanted to say something else, a sharp sound suddenly came from behind, and a blazing light like a flame cut through the sky, chasing them madly!
The light wrapped a huge monster, like a huge rhinoceros, with a strange horn extending from its head, surrounded by sharp lightning, and a piece of burnt smoke rose wherever it went.
This monster was so fast that even though the five people were as fast as lightning, they were still caught up in just a moment.
"Go separately!"
The woman surnamed Wen said, and immediately urged the escape light to speed up and fly out of the swamp.
After the old man and the remaining few people's faces changed several times, they also hurriedly pinched their fingers and cast spells, and each flew away.
This monster is an ancient monster of the lower third level, and its cultivation is comparable to that of a human cultivator in the Golden Core Realm. Even if the five of them join forces, it is difficult to fight against it.
They almost lost their lives because of the wrong intelligence before, so how dare they continue to entangle with it now?
The giant beast in the rainbow light saw the few people disperse, and its body paused. A few anthropomorphic sarcasm flashed in its eyes, and then it opened its mouth and spit out a bright yellow light.
"Shua shua" several strange sounds were heard, and the yellow light suddenly dispersed and chased after the few people.
The speed of the yellow light was so fast that it arrived in the blink of an eye. Wherever it passed, the mud rolled endlessly.
"Puff".
The yellow light passed through the body of a middle-aged man in the Great Perfection of the Spiritual Transformation Realm. This man could not even scream, and it directly turned into a blood mist and exploded.
Then the giant beast opened its mouth wide, and the remaining limbs and arms of the man were swallowed into its mouth, chewing them with a crunching sound, making a creepy sound.
The yellow light from the beast's mouth did not stop at all, and it continued to disperse and chase the others.
The woman surnamed Wen was horrified.
The fat old man and the remaining two spiritual transformation cultivators also felt a chill on their backs and staggered away immediately.
The beast showed disdain in its eyes, but at this time, something strange happened.
Feeling something, the beast suddenly raised its head, and a green light appeared in the night sky. The distance was getting closer and closer, and the night sky was illuminated as bright as day.
The next moment, the green light fell on the beast, making a thunderous roar.
The four people who were running away were suddenly startled.
Looking back, they saw mud splashing, revealing a huge mud pit, and the beast was lying there with blood and flesh, eyes bulging, motionless.
The four people were shocked.
Looking again, they saw a figure standing next to them.
It was a young man in his early twenties, carrying a book basket with an oil-paper fan on it. He didn't look like a cultivator, but rather a scholar.
At this moment, the young scholar was looking at his hands, and then at the giant beast in front of him that was crushed into a pool of meat paste, with a confused look.
Looking at this appearance, it turned out to be Yun Shaoling who was swept into the void space twice before.
The four people including the woman surnamed Wen and the fat old man were all stunned!
This scene was too unexpected. No one expected that this man who appeared out of thin air would actually crush a third-level ancient monster into a meat pie alive!
What happened?
How could this scholar be so powerful? This is a third-level lower-level monster, comparable to a powerful person in the Jindan realm!
Yun Shaoling was also stunned.
When he was swept away again in the monster king's cave, Yun Shaoling thought he was dead and instinctively wanted to struggle.
Then, something weird happened.
A green light suddenly emerged from his body, and it became stronger and stronger, so strong that he felt like he was floating in the air.
Yun Shaoling was shocked.
He was just trying to control the green light to escape, but he didn't expect that the next moment it was like hitting cotton.
Then, he broke through the void space.
And just now he couldn't hold back his strength, and he hit the monster directly.
As a result, the monster that looked thick-skinned and thick-fleshed became a meat pie.
On the opposite side, the four people surnamed Wen trembled.
This is a master!
A master stronger than the Jindan cultivator!
The four looked at each other, suddenly knelt down to Yun Shaoling, and said in unison: "See the chief sect master!"
"Clan master?"
...
More than ten days later, in a stone cave covered by white fog in Tianxuan Mountain, Ye Chunyang closed his eyes and probed into a jade slip with his consciousness.
This is an abandoned monster cave, not far from the cave where the Southern Xuan King ascended, and Ye Chunyang was detecting the latter's.
In addition to clearly pointing out the location of the Vermillion Bird Soul, this jade slip also has several complex array methods.
From these methods, Ye Chunyang felt that there was a subtle connection with the God-killing Curse in his body. Obviously, the arrays left by King Nanxuan were indeed helpful in removing the God-killing Curse.
However, the Vermillion Bird Soul was the key to setting up and activating these arrays.
But Ye Chunyang was no longer worried, because King Nanxuan had left clear clues. If he searched along these clues, he would definitely get the Vermillion Bird Soul.
After a while of hesitation, he waved his sleeves and two lights flashed in front of him.
In the light were two white jade crystals, one large and one small. The light on the left one was slightly dim, and the appearance was somewhat familiar. It was the jade that Nie Xin took out when he came to the medicine garden to find him.
The one on the right was the same as this jade, but it was obviously a circle larger, dazzling, and extremely volatile.
This volatility was not spiritual energy, but a kind of soul oppression, which was actually pure soul power.
"It is indeed a jade soul stone."
Ye Chunyang took the jade on the right into his hand, with a slight smile on his face.
This jade stone was brought back by the clone and Nie Xin after they left the sect.
The formation of the jade soul stone is the condensation of countless spirits, containing pure soul power. It is rare to see it in ten thousand years. It can be said to be a supreme treasure for soul cultivators.
"Nie Xin can actually find such a treasure, it's a good opportunity." Ye Chunyang sighed slightly.
Searching for the memory of the second soul, a series of pictures emerged in his mind, which were exactly what the clone experienced after following Nie Xin down the mountain.
A few years ago, Nie Xin found an ancient cave, which contained many secrets inherited by the ancient witch clan, and a jade soul stone with pure soul power. The small jade stone that Nie Xin gave him was obtained from this jade soul stone.
But it only contained some thin soul power, and the one in front of him was more than ten times more powerful than it.
Nie Xin did not say how she found this ancient cave, and Ye Chunyang was not interested in pursuing it.
But based on the fact that Nie Xin practiced witchcraft, Ye Chunyang could vaguely guess some connections.
However, there was a powerful monster guarding the ancient cave, which Nie Xin could not defeat alone. Because of his witchcraft practice, Nie Xin did not tell others about this matter, and finally thought of Ye Chunyang.
Ye Chunyang also learned some information from the scroll that Nie Xin gave him that day.
Ye Chunyang was naturally very interested in the Jade Soul Stone. He learned that the monster guarding the ancient cave was not too powerful, only about the lower level of the third level, so he followed it down the mountain.
Xiaobao, who formed the second Yuanshen in the sea of consciousness, can completely exist independently from the original body, and the clone also cultivated into a spirit in the human world. Although the cultivation level has only recovered about one-third, the physical body alone can completely crush the beast.
So this trip was simply easy, and the Jade Soul Stone easily fell into his hands.
Of course, Nie Xin also got the witch clan secret technique in the ancient cave as he wished.
"No wonder there are rumors that ancient soul cultivators used the jade soul stone to advance to the spirit separation stage. The soul power contained in it is indeed extremely powerful, but how can a mere jade soul stone achieve the advancement to the spirit separation stage? The rumors are a bit exaggerated after all."
Ye Chunyang was very satisfied with the soul power contained in the jade soul stone. The soul power contained in it was even better than the soul lake in the cold wind cave heaven. However, as the power of the soul became more and more advanced, Ye Chunyang knew more about the difficulty of advancing to the spirit separation stage. He needed to constantly condense the soul to have a chance.
The jade soul stone does contain powerful soul power, but if it can be used to advance to the spirit separation stage, then it would be too easy to break through the spirit separation stage.
In fact, Ye Chunyang did not hold out hope for this, but the jade soul stone was rare after all, so when Nie Xin came to find it, he agreed to take action without hesitation.
"But although this jade soul stone is not enough for me to break through to the spirit separation stage, it can condense my soul a lot, which is of great help to my soul skills and magical powers."
Ye Chunyang said to himself.
Thinking in his mind, he composed the magic spells in his hands and his powerful divine consciousness headed towards the Jade Soul Stone.
