Chapter 203 Monster Tribe
Chapter 203 Monster Tribe
On Leiyang Lake, the traveling Lingyi Zhenren encountered a trouble that was not too big.
As a cultivator in the late foundation building stage, he could go almost anywhere within a million miles except Leiyang Dragon Palace.
But there are some places that can trap him, such as the second-grade superior natural spiritual formation in front of him.
The place where Lingyi Zhenren traveled was very different from that of Lingkui. It was from the border between Qingchi Sect and the Six Sects of Yudong, all the way north to the depths of the swamp.
This direction is somewhat close to the direction leading to the Quedoulou Secret Realm, but a slight mistake can lead to a huge error.
In between there is a lake of twenty thousand miles, and all that can be seen is the vast expanse of waves.
Master Lingyi stood inside a light curtain, looking somewhat annoyed.
Just now he followed a puff of smoke and unknowingly stepped into the formation.
Generally speaking, most monks will never encounter such a coincidence in their lifetime.
And yet he, an old man with the earth almost covering his head, was able to enter such a place in his lifetime.
But I had let my guard down too much just now, so much so that I had entered the formation without even realizing it.
Now I want to go out, but the entrance I just came in through has been closed.
The main reason is that his life span is coming to an end and he doesn't feel any urgency, so he tends to go with the flow.
Master Lingyi swept his spiritual sense across the formation and found a hidden world inside.
It is over 400 miles in radius, covering a small island that occupies half of the area, as well as the water along the coast.
The island is covered with lush vegetation and many spiritual plants. It can be inferred that there is a large spiritual vein branch under the island, which creates the rich spiritual energy here.
And at the junction of the island and the lake, on a huge rock, there lay a huge demon in the middle stage of foundation building.
Judging from the fluctuations of his aura, he has been in the middle stage of foundation building for a long time, and his cultivation is not much different from mine.
“You can’t get out, this natural spiritual formation relies on the spiritual vein.
The power of the formation is endless, and only the Golden Core Master can cut it off."
This big monster seemed a little talkative, perhaps because he hadn't seen a creature of the same level for a long time.
It frequently used its spiritual consciousness to transmit its ideas, causing Master Lingyi to frown after hearing them.
He had lived for more than three hundred years and had never seen such an ugly creature.
It was like a mass of brown flesh with a hairless head emerging from it.
All the facial features were sunken, and there were two thin slits near the forehead, with two small eyeballs moving inside.
There are no hands on the upper body and no toes on the two feet below.
There are blood vessel-like veins on the body surface, with liquid of unknown composition flowing inside.
"I am an old clam that became a spirit in Leiyang Lake. Two hundred years ago, I accidentally entered this formation and gained some spiritual wisdom. Two hundred years later, I am in the middle stage of foundation building and still have not found a way to break the formation."
It turned out to be an old clam that had lived for nearly three hundred years. It refined its shell into a spiritual weapon and walked around the world in the form of a soft body.
But he didn't enter the golden elixir and ultimately did not transform into a human form.
Master Lingyi frowned and came to the edge of the secret realm.
Sensing that someone was trying to escape, the formation instantly raised a light curtain.
Master Lingyi probed it a few times with his true energy and found that this formation was indeed mysterious.
The Lingxu Sect was well-known for its weapon refining. As Lingyi was a second-rank, mid-grade weapon refiner, he naturally had some experience in formations.
But he had only deployed a first-grade, superior-quality formation at best, and was helpless against this second-grade, superior-quality natural spiritual formation.
However, he did not break the formation by force immediately, but returned to the island.
With a powerful demon in the middle stage of foundation building around, it is very dangerous to consume a large amount of true energy.
"Hey, let me tell you, although this formation doesn't allow for killing, it can indeed imprison people.
Although your cultivation is one level higher than mine, it is better for you to give up the idea as soon as possible.
This island is full of magical herbs, and the monsters can take whatever they want. It is a place for cultivation."
The old clam kept on chattering, but Master Lingyi frowned even more tightly.
He only had thirty years left to live, and it was only with the help of his disciple who obtained an elixir of life that he was able to gain these thirty years.
Being trapped in this formation is like a normal end of life, but I am afraid it will be difficult for me to see my disciple for the last time.
He was very satisfied with this disciple, who had a firm faith in Taoism and practiced diligently.
Except for the lack of talent in refining equipment, he could be said to be perfect.
Master Lingyi flew over the island and looked at the vibrant scene beneath his feet.
On the small island with a radius of only three hundred miles, there are hundreds of high-quality spiritual plants and twelve small demons.
In a more prominent place on the north side, there grows a second-grade medium-quality spiritual fruit tree named Yunjin Fruit.
More than a dozen fruits on the tree have ripened, with light green skin and several golden lines intertwined.
Zhenren Lingyi had tasted this kind of spiritual fruit before. The fruit is rich in spiritual energy and tastes good.
After flying over the swamp for so long, only 70% of his true energy was left in his body.
It takes about four hours to recover through meditation and breathing. If there are enough spiritual fruits to replenish, this time will be shortened to half an hour.
Master Lingyi came to the fruit tree, picked a spiritual fruit and was about to eat it.
The big demon turned around at some point, breathing in and out spiritual energy as if he was immersed in spiritual practice.
However, Master Lingyi smiled coldly, and his true energy surged, shattering the spiritual fruit into pieces.
"Greedy snake swallows elephant!"
Not far away, the giant demon that claimed to be a clam spirit let out a strange cry.
A flash of light appeared in Lingyi Zhenren's hand, and he swung his sword and stabbed at the monster a thousand feet away.
The big demon seemed to have just woken up from his training and narrowly avoided the sword.
Then he angrily questioned the other party: "Why did you suddenly draw your sword against me, my friend? Although I am weak, I dare to die together with you."
Ling Yi Zhenren shouted: "Little mirage monster, you still want to deceive me.
The Dragon Lord controls all the great water monsters in Leiyang Lake, so it is impossible for him not to bestow the Transformation Pill upon them."
“I entered the formation with my Qi training, so how could I have the identity of the Dragon Palace at that time?” The monster still argued.
"Oh, what is this then?"
I saw Master Lingyi picking up something from the water, which turned out to be a brown tentacle.
When the mirage demon in the middle stage of foundation building saw that the illusion was exposed, it immediately revealed its true form.
But it looked like an octopus, fleeing madly into the distance.
Although his cultivation in the middle stage of foundation building is not as good as that of the human being, if he is determined to escape, the other party will find it difficult to do anything to him.
However, Master Lingyi chased after it, holding the spiritual weapon, obviously not wanting to let it go easily.
In the space, dozens of wooden signs of the same size were floating around Chen Yu.
These wooden plaques are cut from the trunks of dying red fruit trees and have been carefully selected to be of top-grade third-grade quality.
Although the Zhuguo tree has been growing for ten thousand years, most of its spiritual energy is used to supply the thousand-year-old Zhuguo. The quality of the trunk is not as terrifying as those ten thousand-year-old spiritual medicines.
The whole plant is considered to be of top-grade third grade, and the total amount of spiritual energy is far beyond that.
But not every part that is cut off can be used as a third-grade top-quality spiritual material. Some parts have high grades, while others have low grades.
Some of the small branches and leaves are only at the second level.
No more than twenty third-grade, top-quality wooden plaques like this, with a width and thickness of one inch and three centimeters and a length of two inches, can be cut from a single red fruit tree.
With the help of his many insights into natural spiritual formations, Chen Yu tried to improve the newly acquired Yin-Yang Microdust Sword Formation.
Although it is a wood-attributed material with a relatively soft texture, its third-grade superior grade cannot be underestimated. It is very difficult for a cultivator who is building his foundation to leave any trace on it.
The extremely condensed magic power depicts complex array patterns in the air, which looks easy and free.
Chen Yu, who pursues perfection, has replayed this moment countless times.
Two hours later, the engraved array bases began to glow.
With a "go" command, the formation base flew out immediately and hid in an open space in the ordinary area, turning into a large formation with a diameter of one hundred feet.
Chen Yu did not follow immediately, but instead practiced his skills to restore his magic power.
The thirty-one thousand-year-old elixirs in the core area, the most precious of which are up to fourteen thousand years old, provide him with a constant supply of pure spiritual energy.
Not long after, Chen Yu arrived next to the formation.
As soon as he thought about it, the sword light in this improved version of the Yin-Yang Micro-Dust Sword Formation flashed, like the power of heaven.
Theoretically speaking, this formation has reached the pinnacle of the third-grade upper grade.
With his current cultivation level of the early Jindan stage, he would have no chance of coming out even in the late Jindan stage before his magic power was exhausted.
If a Jindan in the middle stage fights head-on with the formation, there is even a small chance that he will die in it.
It’s a pity that there is no opponent for him to test the power of this formation, which is quite regrettable.
Not far away, a smart fish in the pond seemed to have sensed something, and it gently flicked its tail and sank to the bottom of the water.
The Dragon King gets along well with this new member in the space.
Although the blood of the dragon spirit fish made it restless, the feeling was not strong and it was quickly suppressed.
The main reason is that it absorbed the blood of the Clear Water Dragon, and its cultivation has already broken through the foundation-building stage. This bloodline will not make it lose its mind.
But the Yangling fish under the Dragon King are different. They are drooling over dragon creatures.
If it weren't for its quick eyes and hands, this future real dragon would have almost been eaten by the Yang Ling Fish.
Although this Yang Ling fish has not yet developed intelligence, its strength is equivalent to that of a peak acquired realm, and its spiritual energy content is far beyond that.
But in the end, he never really became a demon, and most of his actions were driven by instinct.
While Chen Yu was setting up the formation, the puppet slowly approached the core of the Yanchi Mountain secret realm.
The two second-level medium-grade spiritual formations in front of them serve as two complementary barriers, together forming a semi-independent cave.
The entrance to the cave is between the two formations and is a corridor that is five hundred feet long.
Those who enter the formation will enjoy the double baptism of sword light and earth fire, but they must also be careful not to let their spiritual energy run wild and attract stronger attacks.
As usual, the spirit puppet used pure power to quickly enter the cave, and its spiritual sense swept an area of about six hundred and seventy miles.
There are no living monks here, but there are many dead bones and native monsters.
Over the long years, there were always cultivators who accidentally entered the formation.
But without exception, they all stayed here forever.
These two formations are extremely powerful. With their combined power, even a real person in the late stage of foundation building would find it difficult to pass through unscathed.
Secondly, the monsters in this secret realm are not easy to deal with. The flesh and blood of cultivators containing spiritual energy is also a very good resource for them to practice.
The strongest among these monsters is a Cloud-Swallowing Tapir, a great monster in the middle stage of foundation building.
This Cloud-Swallowing Tapir is also a relatively rare social monster in the world of immortal cultivation. It has lived in the caves in the formation for generations.
There are more than a hundred of them, and their cultivation is all above the Qi Refining Stage. They are obviously natural monsters.
Any natural monster has a long gestation period before it is born.
The Cloud-Swallowing Tapir is viviparous, and the mother needs to be pregnant for seven years.
As soon as it was born, it was a demon beast at the first level of Qi Refining, and was good at wind spells and spiritual attacks.
This spiritual attack is not like that of a fantasy beast that pulls people into a daydream.
Instead, it emits a vibration at the spiritual level, causing the spiritual consciousness to collapse.
The talents of the Swallowing Cloud Tapir clan are not that strong, nor do they have the bloodline of their ancestors who allowed them to become immortals.
An adult Cloud-Swallowing Tapir is at least at the seventh level of Qi Refining, and most of them can reach the ninth level of Qi Refining at their peak.
However, it is not so easy to break through the shackles and achieve the foundation-building great demon.
In other words, apart from mythical creatures like the True Dragon and the True Phoenix, building the foundation is an obvious threshold for any practitioner.
The secret realm is six hundred and seventy miles in radius, equivalent to two counties in the mortal world.
The concentration of spiritual energy is slightly lower than that of the spiritual eye, but it is also a rare blessed place.
The spirit puppets were walking around in it, and the spirit plants around them were not everywhere, but at least they could be seen everywhere.
Because the Swallowing Cloud Tapir clan has a strong foundation-building expert, the other monsters naturally become food and sustenance.
There are a dozen tribes with monsters, but the number of little monsters added together is less than that of the Cloud-Swallowing Tapir tribe.
The one with the highest cultivation level is only at the sixth level of Qi Refining, which is the designated food for the great monsters who are building their foundation.
One of the groups is the long-eared rabbits that are raised on a large scale in Chen Yu’s space.
This is a very common species of spiritual beast in the world of immortal cultivation, and there are about three to four thousand of them in the secret realm.
Most of these monsters feed on ordinary plants and low-level spiritual plants, and the Cloud-Swallowing Tapir often feeds on the flesh and blood of monsters. Spiritual medicines are just supplements during their cultivation.
Therefore, the spiritual medicines of the first-grade and above were well preserved, allowing Chen Yu to reap a great harvest.
This two-hundred-year-old Danqing Polygonum was slightly different from the same spiritual plants in his space, so he also put it into the storage bag.
Then he saw a spiritual fruit tree about ten feet tall, which was already in the space.
But the thief did not leave empty-handed, he picked a few fruits to taste the different flavors.
The formation suppresses all living creatures equally and will not show leniency just because the monsters are native to the cave.
Although he is stronger than ordinary monks due to years of training, his strength is still very limited.
For example, a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining can extend his spiritual consciousness to twelve feet outside his body, and the monsters living in the cave can extend it to fifteen feet, and that's all.
The spirit puppet walked all the way over, emitting the aura of the early stage of foundation building.
The monsters passing by along the way retreated one after another, and since he had no special blood on his body, he naturally escaped the disaster.
The spirit puppets have traveled millions of miles, and there are already many kinds of spiritual creatures that have never appeared in the classics that Chen Yu has read.
The area of Dongtian is quite vast, with undulating terrain, many caves, rivers and "mountains within mountains".
And at the top of the rocky ridge in the north of the cave, where the earth veins converge.
A huge demon lived in a cave on the top of a mountain. Its powerful aura made the surrounding demon beasts dare not approach.
He is the strongest of the Swallowing Cloud Tapir clan, and his cultivation is in the middle stage of foundation building.
This great demon has ordinary blood, and no inner elixir. To be able to cultivate to this level, it must have great perseverance and great opportunity.
But today it was in bad luck, because an uninvited guest who broke into the cave took a fancy to this opportunity, which was the second-grade top-grade spiritual medicine that it was guarding.
A small grass less than half a foot tall, dark in color, exudes a large amount of spiritual energy.
The spirit puppet's aura was unconcealed, and naturally it quickly attracted the attention of a large number of monsters in the cave.
When he was about to approach the magical herb, a figure fell from the sky.
The big demon hiding in the dark finally couldn't hold back anymore and attacked the spirit puppet.
