Ancient Devouring Technique

Chapter 897 God Devouring Vine

Ye Xuan's harvest this time, first of all, were the holy weapons. Ge Zhanxiong's sword was a rare holy weapon, and Pei Shenhuan's golden spear was also pretty good. Although Ye Xuan was not good at using this kind of weapons, their value was not low and they could be used to exchange for other treasures in the future. In addition, there was a spare sword in Ge Zhanxiong's ring, but it was just the most common holy sword without any special power, so it could only be sold. The other weapons were all below the holy weapon level. Even if they were all tenth-grade weapons, they were not very attractive to Ye Xuan. He just took a quick look at them and put them away.

Then came the skills and martial arts. Ye Xuan naturally looked down upon several low-level saint-level skills. The martial arts were also all saint-level, but there was nothing special about them, so they were not discussed in detail. However, there were two special jade slips that surprised Ye Xuan.

One of them was a jade slip of a formation secret book called "Qingyan Formation Record" found in Pei Shenhuan's ring. It was written by a senior strongman named "Qingyan". It recorded a lot of formation experience and many formation explanations. The highest level was actually six-grade, and the five-grade killing formation that Pei Shenhuan had set up before was among them. Although Ye Xuan did not often use formations, spatial layout sometimes required formations. If he wanted to improve his understanding of space now, it was obviously not enough to rely on the formation art of Baili Formation alone. With this "Qingyan Formation Record", it just solved the current needs.

The second was a jade slip placed separately in Ge Zhanxiong's ring, which caught Ye Xuan's attention.

Ye Xuan cleaned up all the other things and put them away, leaving only the special jade slip and examining it carefully.

There was actually a restriction seal on this jade slip, but the restriction was not very strong. After some twists and turns, Ye Xuan finally broke it and successfully saw the contents inside.

"The Secret Records of Poison Ivy Valley?" As soon as Ye Xuan saw the beginning, his eyes lit up slightly. His intuition told him that this should be a good thing, so he hurriedly continued reading. Later, he discovered that this was actually a treasure map.

And the place recorded on the map is exactly this Poison Ivy Valley!
The level of detail of this map is even more detailed than the ones summarized by Xuanyun Sect after thousands of years of exploration. In the most important position of the map, which is where the "treasure" is located, a name is marked.

God-eating vine.

……

When Ye Xuan saw this name, he was stunned for a long time, then confirmed it several times, and couldn't help but said to himself: "...It seems that I have discovered something incredible..."

He thought quickly in his mind and said in deep thought: "God-devouring vine... God-devouring vine... Although I have never heard of it, the name alone is scary enough... If this thing is really worthy of its name, then..."

Ye Xuan didn't even dare to think about it any further, because this speculation was far beyond his understanding.

After being shocked for a while, Ye Xuan calmed down again. He carefully read all the contents in the jade slip and gradually became clear. Finally, he put the jade slip down, breathed a long sigh of relief, and murmured, "So that's it..."

According to the jade slips, the so-called 'God-Eating Vine' is indeed a spiritual creature from the upper realm, a kind of vine. Legend has it that it has the power to kill gods, hence the name 'God-Eating Vine'.

It was unimaginable for Ye Xuan that a vine could kill all the gods, but that was what was recorded in the jade slip.

The Yinsha Sect's "Secret Records of the Poison Ivy Valley" was left by an ancestor thousands of years ago. The secret record records that the ancestor went deep into the Poison Ivy Valley and reached the end of the Poison Ivy Back Valley. At the dividing point between the front and back valleys, that is, in the giant mountain wall in the middle, he found two treasures. One was a broken flying sword, and the other was a broken vine.

The man found a sword embryo in the broken flying sword, but when he wanted to collect the sword embryo, he found that the sword embryo was too powerful and could not be subdued. In the process of trying to subdue the sword embryo, he alarmed the surrounding poisonous vines. Helplessly, the man had to retreat, but while leaving, he forcibly separated a part of the sword embryo and took it away.

After escaping from the Poison Ivy Valley, the Yinsha Sect ancestor recalled what happened in the valley and felt that the broken flying sword might be a magic weapon from the upper realm, otherwise the power of the sword embryo could not have been so great. He also suspected that the piece of vine that was with the magic weapon was not an ordinary thing. After consulting countless classics, he finally came to a more reliable conclusion - that thing was most likely the legendary "God-Eating Vine".

So, when the Poison Ivy Valley opened the next time, the ancestor of the Yin Sha Sect went into the valley to explore again, but never came out again...

Since then, the Yinsha Sect has been secretly working to obtain the two treasures deep in the Poison Ivy Valley, but that place is too dangerous, and even a great sage would find it difficult to get close. Even a great sage from the Yinsha Sect went there a thousand years ago, but returned empty-handed in the end.

However, according to the explorations conducted by the Yinsha Sect after each opening of the Poison Ivy Valley over the past hundred years, they discovered that the powerful poisonous vines where the treasures were located were gradually decaying, and the number of poisonous vines equivalent to the Great Saint Realm that had once blocked the footsteps of their ancestors had been sharply reduced to single digits. So this time, in addition to dealing with the Xuanyun Sect, Ge Zhanxiong actually had a more important purpose in the Poison Ivy Valley, which was to investigate the situation again, hoping to get the treasure by chance - it was a pity that they all died at the hands of Ye Xuan.

……

"Sword Embryo from the Upper Realm, God Devouring Vine..."

After Ye Xuan sorted out all the information in the secret record, he began to ponder and consider. This unexpected secret was quite attractive to him, and he was considering whether to give it a try.

If what was there was a living God-Devouring Vine, Ye Xuan certainly wouldn't dare to even think about it. However, according to the secret records, it was just a withered piece of God-Devouring Vine and was no longer threatening. Otherwise, the great sage who discovered it would have died long ago. However, even if it was a withered or even rotten God-Devouring Vine, it was a treasure from the upper realm and might be able to be used for other purposes. Moreover, even if the 'corpse' of the God-Devouring Vine was useless, there was still another part of the sword embryo there, which was a treasure of absolutely infinite value.

Just a small part of the sword embryo brought back by the sect's ancestors was regarded as a treasure of inheritance by the Yinsha Sect. You can imagine its value.

Ye Xuan even wondered, if he obtained a complete sword embryo, would he be able to refine a god-level sword weapon?

Divine weapon, just thinking about it makes Ye Xuan a little excited.

Of course, this was a bit too far-fetched. Ye Xuan shook his head slightly and put aside these beautiful ideas for the time being. With a firm look in his eyes, he said to himself: "I've decided. Let's go there!"
