Cangling Immortal Clan

"I see."

Ye Linyuan nodded and gained a deeper understanding of the rules of the Cang Ling Treasure House.

The treasures in the Cang Ling Treasury are rare. To take away the treasures, it is not only about potential, but also about aptitude, comprehension, combat power and many other considerations.

Not everyone can obtain three rare treasures, and not everyone needs to have extraordinary potential to get the treasures.

Take the Purple Glory Dragon King as an example, his bloodline has not reached the perfection of royal blood, and it is difficult for him to obtain the fourth-tier rare treasures based on his potential alone, so he did not get the fourth-tier rare treasures a thousand years ago.

But now his cultivation has reached the eighth level of Nascent Soul. After considering his cultivation, combat power, potential, aptitude and other aspects, he is very likely to obtain a fourth-level rare treasure.

If Zi Yao Dragon King's cultivation reaches the great perfection of Nascent Soul and his True Dragon bloodline reaches the perfection of King Blood, then his evaluation in the eyes of Cang Ling Treasure House will be improved, and he will likely obtain a second fourth-tier rare treasure.

Ye Linyuan was only in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, but he relied on his potential to obtain the first rare treasure, which was already extremely amazing. However, this alone was not enough to obtain the second fourth-level rare treasure.

But compared with his own potential, Ye Linyuan's combat power is self-evident.

But he stood up calmly, looked at the white-haired phantom in front of him and said, "Since that's the case, please come over, Senior."

"Then you have to be careful."

The old man smiled and made his move, then waved his sleeves to suppress Ye Linyuan, actually using the cultivation level of the late Nascent Soul stage.

But facing such an attack, Ye Linyuan remained unmoved. He calmly activated his strongest skills, and a surging magical power like a tidal wave swept over him.

"Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong!"

The old man's expression changed slightly, and he immediately raised his cultivation to the eighth level of Nascent Soul.

But Ye Linyuan's power was so powerful that it was like a vast ocean sweeping over, instantly making the old man blush.

But he retreated several steps and improved his cultivation to the Nascent Soul stage, only then was he able to barely block Ye Linyuan's attack.

Seeing that he could not defeat the old man, Ye Linyuan decisively activated the Xuanyuan Zhenhai Flag and the Tiangang Thunder Dragon Post, intending to fight the old man with all his strength.

"Enough is enough."

The old man exclaimed in surprise, and Ye Linyuan took back the two sets of spiritual treasures.

The old man heaved a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but look at Ye Linyuan with emotion and said, "Since my friend has practiced the Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong, there is no need to continue this battle."

Ye Linyuan was very calm about this. In ancient times, if the Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong could be cultivated to the state of Nascent Soul Great Perfection, and combined with a complete set of top-grade spiritual treasures, he would be able to compete with Yuanshen Tianjun.

Although Ye Linyuan has not reached that stage yet, judging from the magic power and two sets of spiritual treasures he has displayed now, his combat power must have reached a transcendent level.

"My friend, judging from your strength, your hope of breaking through to the Yuan Shen in the future must be high."

"You don't need to take the third level test. I'll give you the remaining two fourth-level rare treasures."

The old man spoke calmly, and then with a flick of his sleeve, countless treasures appeared in front of Ye Linyuan.

Ye Linyuan was very calm about this, and just asked: "Senior, do you have any rare treasures such as the Original Essence of Heaven and Earth, the Nine Heavens Qiangang, and the Taixiao Soul Jade?"

"Treasures that can assist in breaking through the Yuan Shen realm were extremely valuable in ancient times, especially these three top treasures. Even in the Cang Ling Treasury, there are not many left."

"Now, this treasure is nearly a million years old, and I only have the last piece of Taixiao Soul Jade left."

The old man spoke slowly and then displayed an ancient jade filled with mysterious light in front of Ye Linyuan.

Ye Linyuan looked at the ancient jade, and a hint of excitement appeared in his eyes.

As the top-level fourth-grade rare treasure, Taixiao Soul Jade was an extremely rare item in ancient times. Its value was more precious than most fifth-grade mid-quality pure yang treasures.

It is said that the Taixiao Soul Jade is nurtured in the pure yang earth veins. It needs to use the ancient Xuantian formation pattern to seize the fortune of heaven and earth, and then be nourished by a large amount of soul-nourishing elixirs. It will then take tens of thousands of years to be born.

Such a precious treasure, even the ancient Cang Ling sect could only keep a few of them on hand, and in this era it is almost extinct in the world.

"It is precisely because of the rarity of these rare treasures that Yuanshen Tianjun in ancient times was also a powerful figure, no less than Yuanying Zhenjun in this era. There are only two or three hundred of them in the entire Cangling Sea."

Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart, and casually put the Taixiao Soul Jade into his palm.

Without the other core ingredients of the Three Souls Pill, Ye Linyuan began to select other rare treasures with various properties.

One has to admit that there are quite a few treasures in the Cang Ling Treasury, and most of them are middle to upper grade fourth-level rare treasures, many of which are of great use to Ye Linyuan.

Among them are many top-notch treasures that can be used to comprehend the secrets of heaven, cultivate the body, make up for deficiencies in the foundation, and increase one's own potential.

Especially the rare treasures that can make up for the foundation. If Ye Linyuan chooses one of them, it will be enough for Zhou Yuwan and Chu Lingxi to make up for their foundation and cultivate into the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul.

However, after repeated selection, Ye Linyuan finally chose a less popular fourth-level rare treasure.

This item is called Taiyin Cangyue Stone, a rare treasure with the dual attributes of water and moon. It is of great help in comprehending the Canghai Mingyue Gong. After refining it, it can greatly shorten the time to comprehend the core magical power of the Canghai Mingyue Gong.

Ye Linyuan knew very well that his own fighting power was the most important.

Shui Hanqing and Zhou Yuwan have insufficient foundations. Even if they make up for the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul foundation, they are just an ordinary middle-stage Nascent Soul.

In this era of scarce resources, the Heavenly Dao Yuanying can only reach the middle stage of the Yuanying without a bottleneck, while more than half of the middle stage of the Yuanying overlords in the Haotian Ancient Realm are Heavenly Dao Yuanying.

Adding two slightly stronger mid-Nascent Soul cultivators is just icing on the cake for the Ye family's immortal clan, and is far less important than the hundreds of years Ye Linyuan saves in comprehending his magical powers.

After all, after refining the rare Water Spirit Pearl, Ye Linyuan's cultivation will surely advance by leaps and bounds. He will be able to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage within one or two hundred years, and even breaking through to the Nascent Soul Great Perfection stage will probably only take a thousand years.

Refining the Taiyin Cangyue Stone could save hundreds of years of time in comprehending supernatural powers, which just happened to avoid the situation where his cultivation progressed too quickly and his core supernatural powers could not keep up.

After obtaining three fourth-tier rare treasures, Ye Linyuan did not rush to get up and leave. Instead, he continued to sit in front of the old man and asked, "I see that you are clear-headed, so it seems that it is not just a spirit weapon?"

"You have a good eye."

The old man sighed slightly, and then suddenly said with a trace of emotion: "I am just a soul of the ancient Yuanshen Tianjun. Now I have turned to the way of ghost cultivation and have survived until now relying on this Cangling Treasure House."

As the old man spoke, Ye Linyuan gradually understood the old man's identity.

Yuanshen Tianjun integrated the three souls of heaven, earth and man, and cultivated a pure yang Yuanshen containing the power of origin. This is an almost insurmountable qualitative change gap.

But after reaching the realm of primordial spirit, if one practices some special ancient secret techniques, while reducing the strength of the original body, one can also re-differentiate the three souls, and re-differentiate the two souls of heaven and earth into two incarnations.

The incarnation's combat power is not as good as the original body, and is about one small realm lower than the original body.

The old man in front of him is the incarnation of the earth soul of the ancient powerful primordial spirit, and his cultivation is roughly at the level of a pseudo-heavenly monarch.

Later, when his life was almost over, he chose to turn to the path of a ghost immortal in order to survive. This caused his combat power to be greatly reduced again, and now it is only approximately equivalent to the level of a half-step primordial spirit.

Taking into account the weakness of the ancient Yuanshen Tianjun, this person's real cultivation is probably at the bottom among the half-step Yuanshen, and even the Heavenly Demon Saint Emperor may be able to reverse it.

Of course, with the protection of the Pure Yang Formation in the Cang Ling Treasury, even Yuanshen Tianjun might not be able to do anything to this person.

From this point, Ye Linyuan roughly estimated that this person's cultivation should be around the early stage of Yuanshen.

The purpose of this person leaving behind a soul was to protect this pure yang treasure house.

In the past, the Cang Ling Ancient Sect was extremely powerful, with dozens of Yuanshen Tianjuns, but these Yuanshen Tianjuns all participated in the War to Conquer the Sky.

In order to avoid damage to their strength, those in the middle and late stages of their souls would not leave behind an avatar, so an early stage soul with ordinary combat power was left behind as an avatar to be responsible for the operation of the Cang Ling Treasure House.

Understanding all this, Ye Linyuan could not help but nod slightly, and then said: "Since the senior has survived from ancient times to the present, I think you have witnessed the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm period, and you also know the secrets of the ancient war against the sky?"

"I am very curious about the things of ancient times. I wonder if you could explain a little to me."

“I don’t know much about the secrets of the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm, and I have never left the Haotian Ancient Realm.” The old man shook his head, then sighed and said, “When I became enlightened, the black tide had been covering the Nine Heavens for tens of thousands of years.”

“That black tide cuts off all communication with the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm, and can even corrode and corrupt the origin of the power of heaven and earth in the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm, gradually compressing our living space.”

"The sages who founded the Changming Palace burned out our resistance, but they were just candlelight in the darkness, unable to fight against the endless darkness."

“It was not until the twenty-four Xuantian artifacts were destroyed or corrupted, and the nine Xuantian spiritual roots were gradually polluted and died, that the supreme beings of the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm took the risk of launching the War of Destroying the Heavens.”

When Ye Linyuan heard this, he couldn't help but feel a sense of suffocation in his heart.

The black tide enveloped the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm for tens of thousands of years. For the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm, it was a slow death. However, the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm never had the idea of ​​engaging in a head-on battle with it in the beginning.

It can be seen that in the eyes of the masters of the refining realm and the supreme beings in the Jiutian Ancient Realm, launching a counterattack is no different from seeking death.

But in the end, they launched the war to destroy the sky. The secret behind this is worth Ye Linyuan's deep consideration.

"Why did you launch the war to destroy the heaven? Is the heaven you are destroying the ancient heavenly way, or is it the mastermind behind the black tide?"

Ye Linyuan hesitated and couldn't help but ask.

The old man was silent for a moment, then he spoke fearfully: "In ancient times, the black tide eroded the Heavenly Dao, but it also merged with the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm. The person behind the scenes wants to take this opportunity to completely devour the Heavenly Dao of the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm."

"But it is precisely because of this that we have the best opportunity."

“At the last moment when “He” was about to devour the Heavenly Dao, the ancient sages launched a war to destroy the Heaven. This war destroyed the Heavenly Dao of the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm, and also caused the person behind the scenes to suffer a backlash and fall into a deep sleep.”

Ye Linyuan understood something. The ancient world of the Nine Heavens could give birth to a large number of Supreme Void Refinements, and it was at least a world at the level of the Taoist Ancestors of the Fusion Realm. The person behind the scenes wanted to devour it, which was like a snake or a python swallowing an elephant.

When it swallowed up the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm and digested it, it was also its weakest moment. This gave the ancient powers of the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm an opportunity to launch a war against the sky.

This battle destroyed the ancient heavenly way and also dealt a heavy blow to the mastermind behind the plan to swallow up the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm.

"Using the nine ancient worlds as their nourishment, corrupting and devouring the Heavenly Dao and the entire world, the person behind this black tide has a very powerful hand."

Ye Linyuan spoke slowly, a hint of worry in his eyes.

If the other party can really swallow the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm, he must be a forbidden figure above the Refining Void Realm. Such an existence is probably almost impossible to be completely killed.

"This is still too far away for you. There is no need to worry about it."

The old man shook his head, and then suddenly said with fear: "However, after the Battle of Heaven, there were rumors that he would be revived a million years later."

"Once he successfully awakens, he will definitely continue to devour the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm."

"According to the time, another 30,000 years will be the million-year period."

When Ye Linyuan heard this, he suddenly felt a sense of urgency.

If the mastermind behind the scenes really revives this year, I'm afraid the entire Nine Heavens Ancient Realm will be completely destroyed. Can he really grow up before that and save the entire Nine Heavens Ancient Realm from disaster?

If Ye Linyuan wants to change all this, he will probably need to raise his combat power to the fusion level within at least 30,000 years.

He was not sure, and did not dare to guarantee that he could reach this step within 30,000 years. After all, the path of cultivating immortals became more and more difficult as time went on.

When one reaches the level of Supreme Refining Void, tens of thousands of years might not be enough to break through a small realm.

"Let's take one step at a time."

Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart, then looked at the old man and asked, "What are the twenty-four Xuantian artifacts and nine Xuantian spiritual roots that the senior mentioned?"

"The so-called 24 Mysterious Heavenly Artifacts refer to the 24 Mysterious Heavenly Spiritual Treasures that were born when the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm was first created. They are also the core of the Mysterious Heavenly Array that protects the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm."

"Using this formation to control the power of the Heavenly Dao of the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm, and cooperating with the twenty-four Supreme Refining Void Masters, it can theoretically resist the attacks of the Combined Dao Ancestors. It was also one of the Nine Heavens' biggest trump cards against the Black Tide in ancient times."

The old man narrated the story slowly and then said carefully: "The reason why we were forced to launch the war against the sky was because the twenty-four artifacts of Xuantian were destroyed or corrupted, and the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm lost the capital to continue the stalemate with them."

"As for the nine profound spiritual roots, they are the treasures bred by the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm. Each one corresponds to the power of the Heavenly Dao of a world."

As the old man continued to tell the story, Ye Linyuan gradually understood the origins of the nine Xuantian spiritual roots and the twenty-four Xuantian divine artifacts.

If the twenty-four Xuantian artifacts are the means of self-preservation of the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm, then the nine Xuantian spiritual roots are the source of power for the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm.

The so-called Xuantian spiritual root has an extraordinary origin. It was born from the fusion of the Xuantian Qi and the origin of heaven and earth when the heaven and earth were first created.

The nine mysterious spiritual roots of the past corresponded to the power of pure yang, three talents, and five elements respectively.

Among them, there are five ancient trees of the Five Elements, namely the Wanjian Ancient Tree, the Canglong Vine, the Binghuo Fairy Apricot, the Renshui Pantao, and the Xuanhuang Ancient Tree.

There are three ancient trees of the Three Talents, namely the Feng Hulu, the Wanmie Leizhu, and the Taiyin Snow Lotus. There is only one ancient tree of the Pure Yang, which is the Xuantian Linggen Fusang ancient tree.

These nine spiritual roots of heaven and earth correspond to the nine origins of the sky: Juntian, Cangtian, Biantian, Xuantian, Youtian, Haotian, Zhutian, Yantian and Yangtian.

The most important thing is that the Xuantian spiritual root can assist the heaven and earth in absorbing void energy and transform it into high-purity spiritual energy of heaven and earth to maintain the operation of heaven and earth.

However, as the nine spiritual roots died one after another, the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm lost the high-purity spiritual energy of heaven and earth. If it continued to resist, it would only end up with more expenses than income and wait for death.

After all, even if it is a Yuanshen Tianjun, if he loses the high-quality vitality of heaven and earth, he will gradually become weak and his strength will be greatly reduced.

And long-term absorption of the vital energy of heaven and earth containing a large amount of turbid air will also lower their mind and increase the risk of them falling into the evil path.

Although Yuanshen Tianjun's cultivation level is enough to separate the vital energy of heaven and earth into clear and turbid energy, this will ultimately greatly affect their cultivation and recovery.

"So the ancient war against the sky was a helpless act, and it was also the last chance for the Haotian Ancient Realm."

"It is impossible for the person behind the Black Tide not to understand this, but he still did not stop it."

"Is it because he is unable to stop it, or has he underestimated the strength of the ancient sages?"

Ye Linyuan's mind kept flickering, but he gradually withdrew his thoughts.

He thought of his spiritual root again. That root was in the underground fire vein at that time. It should be a Xuantian spiritual root with fire attribute. He just didn't know whether it was the Binghuo Fairy Apricot or the Fusang ancient tree.

Legend has it that the fruit of the Binghuo Xianxing can assist in breaking through the realm of refining emptiness.

The ancient Hibiscus tree contains pure yang power. A piece of its branches is a rare treasure of the Xuantian world. It can be ground into powder and used as medicine, and can also be used as a key material for refining Xuantian spiritual treasures.

"It has been nurtured for a thousand years and has taken root in the soil of the Sun Dao, but the rhizome has not changed much."

"I wonder if I can make it start growing after I become a fourth-level super-grade spiritual plant husband."

Taking back this belief, Ye Linyuan communicated with the old man for a long time.

One has to admit that this old man is indeed the soul of the ancient Yuanshen Tianjun, and the secrets he knows are far beyond the imagination of the cultivators of this era.

Ye Linyuan gained a lot of information from it, and suddenly felt that many ancient secrets had been revealed to him.

Of course, this old man’s cultivation is not enough, and I am only in the initial stage of the Yuanshen, so the information I have access to is ultimately limited.

He knew about the Xuantian Spiritual Root and the Xuantian Twenty-Four Divine Artifacts of the Jiutian Ancient Realm only because these treasures were so famous.

He had no clear idea of ​​how many supreme masters of the Void Refinement Realm there were in ancient times, or what the power behind the Black Tide was.

After all, he is only in the early stage of Yuanshen. In order to prevent being infiltrated by the other party, the high-level trump cards of the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm cannot be allowed to know him.

But the old man knew that in the ancient times, there were at least thirty Supreme Refiners in the Nine Heavens Ancient Realms, and there were at least three in each ancient realm on average.

There must be more Void-Refining Supremes hiding in secret. At least there are probably no less than thirty Void-Refining Supremes who have fallen in the Jiexu Forbidden Land. (End of this chapter)
