After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 954 Hell Insect Eggs? Mo Yuan's Innate Ability!

"But time was limited then, and the place was quite dangerous, so he had no choice but to give up. This time, more than a hundred years later, that person's cultivation has reached the Dao True Realm, so he can't come in and can only let us come in to search..."

"However, the ancestors only gave us a general location..."

……

Chen Yang frowned deeply.

The Nine Elders Cave Secret Realm was last opened 125 years ago.

Yang Wudi was from the Yang family of Longtai Mountain. The Yang family belonged to one of the eight mountain ranges of Panshan in Sichuan. Back then, they must have been qualified to enter the Nine Elders Cave Secret Realm.

Chen Yang had previously guessed that this Yang Wudi was expelled from the Yang family genealogy 150 years ago because of his involvement with the Pingtian Sect, which is why there was no record of him in the Yang family genealogy.

At that time, Yang Wenguang and his team investigated the clan members from 150 to 200 years ago, but did not find any suspicious targets.

Now it seems possible that the calculation was wrong.

If this person was expelled from the Yang family, how could he have been qualified to enter the Nine Elders Cave back then?

In other words, this person had connections with the Yang family at least 125 years ago.

Perhaps, at that time, the Yang family had not yet completely severed ties with this person.

The name Yang Wudi is most likely an alias. After we get out, we can have Wang Yuanchao and the Yang family conduct a thorough investigation according to the new time period, and maybe we can identify this person.

"Where is it located?" Chen Yang asked directly.

The young man said, "I only know that it is in a valley a hundred miles to the north, and I don't know anything else."

North? A hundred miles away? A valley?
Chen Yang's heart skipped a beat. How come the location was almost the same as the Udumbara flower he was looking for?

Could it be the same place?

The 315 Tooth Sutra? Could it be the palm-leaf sutra that Xuantong mentioned?
Chen Yang looked at the young man in front of him with a puzzled expression. "If that's the case, why aren't you going north? Why are you heading east?"

The young man said, "In our team, there's another senior brother named Lu Chen. He's incredibly strong and is our nominal leader. If he wants to go this way, there's nothing we can do..."

"Lu Chen? The guy who was digging for herbs in the woods just now?"

"Yes, he's not one of us, but he's already at the late stage of the Creation Realm, a top talent in the Shennong Sect. He brought a treasure with him this time, called the [Medicine-Seeking Compass]..."

"This treasure can identify medicinal properties and guide us. We figured since we still have plenty of time, we'd follow him first, and once he's gathered enough spiritual herbs, we could find an opportunity to kill him. At least we could get some benefits ourselves. After we've dealt with him, it won't be too late to look for the scriptures..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang's face darkened. These two worms were indeed quite wicked.

"Besides the scriptures, what other mission does that other person have?" Chen Yang asked directly.

"he……"

The young man paused for a moment, then said, "The ancestor and the second ancestor gave birth to a batch of spirit eggs together. He was instructed to send them into the Nine Elders Cave secret realm to find a place to place and nurture them..."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang's eyebrows furrowed so deeply they looked like they were about to burst.

The young man said, "Our ancestors said that this secret realm is a natural paradise for us. As long as we incubate these spirit eggs in the secret realm, no one will be able to disturb their growth after the secret realm closes. When the secret realm reopens in a hundred years, this place will become our world..."

Mudd!

Chen Yang's face darkened terribly. These bastards were actually still plotting something like this.

If they succeed, the Hell Worms will multiply and grow in the secret realm, possessing the creatures within without anyone noticing. If the secret realm reopens a hundred years later, it will likely be a calamity.

For the Hellworms, this environment is undoubtedly paradise.

That's a clever plan.

"Where is the spirit egg on that person?" Chen Yang asked directly.

The young man nodded repeatedly, "That's right, the fifth one is also at the late stage of the Creation Realm. It possessed an old man named Xiao Mingzong from Qingniu Mountain in Fengdu. The spirit egg is on his body. However, our clan's spirit eggs cannot hatch just anywhere. They must be in a place with dense Yin energy. Otherwise, even if they hatch, they won't live for long..."

"Our ancestor must have told him where he was, but he didn't tell us, so we have no way of knowing..."

……

"Is there anything else?" Chen Yang asked.

The young man shook his head. "That's all."

Chen Yang asked, "How many people do you have now? And who are the ones you've possessed?"

"This one……"

The young man paused for a moment upon hearing this, then said, "Above the Creation Realm, including myself and the seventh brother, there are ten in total. As for the Spirit Realm, there are also about ten..."

What this person said differed somewhat from Ye Qingzhou's testimony.

When Ye Qingzhou was interrogated that day, the worm inside his body said there were nine of them, three of which were ancestral worms and six others were at the Creation Realm. As for how many worms at the Spirit Realm had emerged, the worm did not say.

One person said there were nine, another said there were ten, a difference of one.

"look into my eyes."

Chen Yang attempted to use the Double Pupil Technique on the young man in front of him.

The young man looked up and met his gaze, his eyes showing only fear, nothing else.

The double pupil technique is ineffective against this insect?
Chen Yang thought for a moment, perhaps this ancient insect has some special ability to resist hypnosis, or perhaps it is because it is just a blank shell.

However, regardless of the circumstances, the double pupil technique cannot hypnotize it, so Chen Yang first questioned the credibility of its words.

“Go on,” Chen Yang said.

The young man felt somewhat confused, but still said, "The second and third brothers have infiltrated Baoguo Temple, but their specific identities are unknown. When we came yesterday, we tried to contact them, but we couldn't. The one who just died was the seventh brother. I'm the sixth brother. The fifth brother possessed that guy from Qingniu Mountain in Fengdu..."

"Besides, only the eldest and fourth brothers remain at the Creation Realm. The eldest brother possessed Xie Xiaofeng, a disciple of the Northern Emperor Sect. As for the fourth brother, we haven't seen him since we came out of Dawa Mountain. I don't know who he possessed or whether he's still alive. He's the strongest among us, and he's almost at the Dao True Realm..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang raised an eyebrow slightly. The source of this insect's appearance might lie with this fourth brother.

The worm inside Ye Qingzhou might not have included this fourth one.

"anything else?"

"I didn't pay attention to those in the Spirit Realm. Anyway, they're either from the Northern Emperor Sect, the Shennong Sect, or some other independent cultivators..."

"Where is the ancestor of insects?"

"The First Ancestor possessed Sun Hongyan of the Northern Emperor Sect, who was in the mid-stage of the Dao True Realm. The Second Ancestor possessed a woman named Mu Lanzhi, who was only in the late-stage of the Creation Realm. She was said to be a protector of the Gu God Sect. That day, she was with a few people and was being chased by the Northern Emperor Sect. She came to Corpse Eye Pool, hoping to beg the First Ancestor for help, but was instead possessed by the Second Ancestor..."

"In addition, there is a Third Ancestor. The Third Ancestor and the First and Second Ancestors are not on good terms. He possessed a young disciple of the Northern Emperor Sect. Not long after leaving Dawa Mountain, he ran away alone. The First and Second Ancestors were very angry..."

……

The Three Ancestors?

If I'm not mistaken, it should be the worm inside Ke Shaohua's body.

According to this insect, one of the three insect ancestors has already been killed by Chen Yang.

Of the seven Creation Realm beings, he has already dealt with three. Including the one in front of him and the one from Qingniu Mountain, there is only one left that has possessed Xie Xiaofeng and an unidentified fourth one.

Chen Yang secretly made a mental note of it.

The most urgent task is to deal with the one on Qingniu Mountain first.

Otherwise, if the hell worms were to proliferate in this secret realm, it would be an absolute disaster.

"Is there anything else I haven't explained?" Chen Yang asked.

The youth shook his head.

"All right!"

Chen Yang didn't ask any more questions and patted the insect seed bag at his waist.

A massive swarm of bone-eating beetles descended upon them, swarming straight at them.

"what?"

The young man was terrified. "You...you swore you wouldn't kill me!"

The swarm of bone-eating beetles swept away the corpse in a flash, and it disappeared without a trace.

When Chen Yang recalled the swarm of insects, only one red worm, nearly a meter long, remained on the ground.

"You promised you wouldn't kill me! You promised you wouldn't kill me!"

The insect writhed, its spiritual energy trembling, and it screamed in terror!

He held half his body high, looking at Chen Yang warily.

Chen Yang asked, "Have I killed you now?"

"I……"

The insect was terrified. "But you destroyed my body?"

"What do you mean, 'your physical body'? That's just a shell you've possessed..."

"I……"

The insect paused for a moment upon hearing this, seemingly unable to argue with Chen Yang, and asked, "Can I leave now?" "Go ahead."

Chen Yang said it frankly.

Upon hearing this, the insect immediately darted towards the nearby stream.

However, a dark shadow flashed by and blocked its path.

It was Mo Yuan.

Mo Yuan moved quickly, grabbing the insect's head and tail with both claws and lifting it up.

Suddenly, it was pulled.

However, with its current strength, it was unable to tear the insect apart.

"Huh? It's so hard?"

Mo Yuan stomped on the insect as if it were a snake, then bit down on its body with his teeth and hissed loudly!
"puff!"

This time, under its violence, it finally tore the red worm in two.

The red worms were indeed incredibly resilient; one half of its body twisted its head and tried to burrow into Mo Yuan's leg.

Mo Yuan instinctively sensed the danger and immediately used his Golden Body Technique.

A golden light flashed across its body, and sparks flew as the red worms burrowed into its skin.

"what?"

Chen Yang looked at the large rat in surprise.

The Golden Body of Dharma Form?
This aura... why does it feel so much like my own Dharma Body Technique?
How could a mouse possess the Golden Body Technique?
"This insect needs real fire and real thunder to kill!"

After a brief moment of surprise, Chen Yang offered a reminder.

It's not that only true fire and true thunder can kill; under absolute power, even the strongest will die.

Upon hearing this, Mo Yuan paused slightly, and a burst of lightning suddenly flashed across his golden body.

Noisy!
Following its claws, Gu Guang pierced through both sections of the insect's body.

You promised you wouldn't kill me!

The insect was still hissing until the very end.

The moment the electric current pierced through its body, the intense mental fluctuations abruptly ceased.

"He said he wouldn't kill you, but I never said I wouldn't kill you."

Mo Yuan chuckled and released the insect, which had been charred black and lifeless from the electric shock.

The insects fell to the ground with two thuds, as if two pieces of steel pipe had been discarded.

"so hard!"

Mo Yuan clicked his tongue, turned around and walked towards Chen Yang, his face full of flattery, "Master, where did this worm come from, and how did it end up parasitizing these two people?"

At first, it thought Chen Yang was too bloodthirsty. He had only just entered and was already killing people indiscriminately, which made it a little scared. It was afraid that one day Chen Yang would decide to kill it directly.

It wasn't until Chen Yang removed the two worms from their bodies that it realized this was Chen Yang's true purpose.

"Have you heard of the Hell Worm?" Chen Yang said casually.

"Hellworm?"

Mo Yuan was slightly taken aback. "The Hell Worms that broke out in the Western Frontier more than a hundred years ago?"

"Ah."

Chen Yang nodded slightly.

Mo Yuan's heart was stirred.

Although it did not participate in the insect plague more than a hundred years ago, it had heard about it to some extent and knew that many people died and a great deal of effort was paid to eradicate the insect plague.

It naturally knew something about this kind of insect, but it had never seen a real hell worm.

"It's this kind of insect."

Mo Yuan snapped out of his reverie, "If these insects were to multiply in this secret realm, it would be quite a problem..."

Chen Yang looked at it with a strange expression. "What you just used was the Golden Body of Dharma Form Technique?"

Mo Yuan paused.

Facing Chen Yang's questioning gaze, he chuckled dryly and said, "Besides treasure hunting, I have a natural ability: I can roughly simulate any cultivation technique I've ever seen. My eyes can see the trajectory of energy flow within a flesh and blood body. This Golden Body Technique is something I learned from you when I saw you use it that day..."

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang's face was filled with astonishment and doubt. "You learned it from me? I only used it once that day, and you could see how I circulated my energy and how I used the Golden Body Dharma Form?"

"Correct."

Mo Yuan nodded. "There are countless paths to the Great Dao, all leading to the same destination. Once you understand one, you understand all. It's not difficult for me. The difficulty lies in the consumption of energy. Calculating cultivation techniques, especially advanced ones like this, is extremely mentally taxing. I won't easily attempt to simulate techniques unless they particularly interest me..."

“When Zhao Quanzhen was alive, he said that I was born with a clear Dao heart, and my eyes are also clear eyes of the mind. Your ‘Dharma Body Golden Body Technique’ is indeed advanced. Although I have simulated it, I can only unleash about 50% of its power at present. If you can demonstrate it to me a few more times, I should be able to simulate the complete technique…”

Mo Yuan narrated in a calm manner, without any exaggeration or boasting. To him, it was perhaps as simple as eating and drinking.

Just like Chen Yang's ability to multitask, it's all due to talent, skills he was born with. Hard work later on is just icing on the cake, bringing out the best in these skills.

"You...you're awesome."

Chen Yang struggled for a long time but couldn't say anything coherent, only managing to utter a boast.

Without using any mental techniques or secret manuals, he can simulate the complete technique simply by watching the opponent perform it a few times. This ability is simply too heaven-defying.

If this ability were in a person, wouldn't they definitely be the protagonist?
It truly shocked Chen Yang.

"You also know lightning magic? You didn't learn it from somewhere, did you?" Chen Yang asked.

"whispering sound!"

Mo Yuan chuckled, "Mere thunder magic, why would I need to steal it? Chongtian Temple has the Shangqing Thunder Magic lineage. During my years at Chongtian Temple, I learned the orthodox teachings of the Three Pure Ones, thunder magic was just one of them..."

Is it Shangqing Thunder Magic?
It sounds pretty awesome, but I wonder how it differs from the Five Thunder Orthodox Method I cultivate.

I'll probably have to ask this mouse for some advice when I have the chance in the future.

This mouse is quite unusual.

Chen Yang was somewhat relieved that he had taken it.

"Let's go, let's deal with that bug on Qingniu Mountain, then we can get on with our business."

Withdrawing his gaze, Chen Yang stored the remains of the two red worms in the system warehouse and headed towards the dense forest in the northeast.

Mo Yuan quickly followed, "There's another one over there, shouldn't we deal with it together?"

The Shennong Sect group consisted of three people, but Chen Yang only dealt with two of them. The third one is currently unconscious in the woods.

Since two have already been dealt with, why not deal with the other one as well?

Chen Yang said, "Do you really think I'm a god of death? I killed insects. That person wasn't possessed by insects, nor did he provoke me. Why would I kill him for no reason?"

Mo Yuan paused slightly, his eyes darting around, and he immediately realized something. "That's right, that kid has a magical artifact for finding herbs. Let him develop first, find more spiritual herbs for him, and then we can rob him later..."

Chen Yang walked ahead, rolling his eyes.

Honestly, I never had that thought.

Even if there are many opportunities in this secret realm, the opportunities obtained depend on one's own abilities. Others may kill to steal treasures, but Chen Yang is not so unscrupulous.

However, if someone is foolish enough to approach him, he wouldn't mind if they offered him an opportunity.

……

In the dense forest, Chen Yang took out the Mountain Lord Seal.

Before entering, Chen Yang had Huang Can leave a mark on the Mountain Lord Seal so that it would be convenient to contact him after entering.

Now that everyone has dispersed, no matter how strong Chen Yang's mental power is, he can't encompass too far. At the same time, he's also afraid of accidentally disturbing some formidable ferocious beasts or spiritual plants, thus attracting unknown dangers.

According to what that insect just said, the remaining insect possessed Xiao Mingzong of Qingniu Mountain. After everyone got separated and so much time was wasted, Xiao Mingzong probably doesn't know where he went.

The group from the Five Gates and Eight Meridians was led by Emei. Huang Can was definitely with Yuan Long, and perhaps Xiao Mingzong was still traveling with them.

Chen Yang immediately contacted Huang Can through the mark on the Mountain Lord Seal to inquire about the situation.

……

After entering the secret realm, the Emei side, including the five sects and eight meridians, excluding Chen Yang, had a total of fifty-nine people. Adding the twenty-five people from Wang Yuanchao's association, the total was eighty-four people.

These eighty-four people were divided into nine teams, each led by three or four experts at the Creation Realm, and explored in different directions.

This secret realm spans hundreds or even thousands of miles; it is simply too vast. Only by exploring separately can we explore more areas and find more opportunities within a limited time.
