Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 338: Resurrection Tree

A massive monster hunting operation broke out in the West Sea.

Several top forces in the West Sea summoned all the practitioners in the West Sea to kill monsters. They themselves led the way, and even the top practitioners participated in it, personally leading their troops to various places in the West Sea to hunt monsters.

Moreover, the monster hunting plan of several major forces this time is to first conduct a three-year monster hunting campaign, and then send people to patrol the West Sea every year to hunt monsters, in an effort to kill all monsters in the West Sea to prevent future troubles.

Of course, everyone knows that it is impossible to kill all the monsters, but it is enough to eliminate the hidden dangers of monsters in the West Sea.

Faced with endless monster hunting, some big monsters even began to flee inland as they were hunted by humans.

Half a year later, Jiuying Island.

On the dim island, the land was gray, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and thunder rumbled from time to time, which was extremely depressing.

The first battle of the demon hunting by the Western Sea forces was at Jiuying Island. Under the leadership of the top practitioners, the Western Sea cultivators carried out several cleansings on Jiuying Island until no demon dared to set foot on the island again.

The monks from the West Sea originally wanted to settle here and make it an island for human practice, but later they found that the environment of this island was extremely harsh. Even if the demons were wiped out, the demonic aura still shrouded the island.

In addition, there are always thunderclouds above the island, just like the doomsday world. It is not suitable for human monks to practice at all, unless they are some monks with thunder attributes.

Even so, it would be difficult for them to stay here for a long time as the evil spirit would affect them. Many cultivators had tried but left after a short while.

However, at this moment, under the thunderclouds of Jiuying Island, on the gray ground, there was a figure in white sitting cross-legged. When the flashing thunder power in the sky fell, lightning would wander on his body and be absorbed by his body.

Not far behind him, there were two figures. One of them was extremely beautiful, pure and flawless, practicing quietly. The other was charming and seductive, lying on the ground with a human face and a snake body. There was also lightning falling on her body, causing the scales on her body to glow with a strange light, and she seemed to be transforming into dragon scales.

Even small tentacles grew on her head.

In the distance from them, there was a burly young man running wildly. When the thunder fell, he stopped and let the thunder hit his body. It seemed that he was deliberately looking for thunder to refine his body.

At this time, three figures came flying from the distance, two men and one woman, and stopped not far away.

"These monsters." Meng Hong said in a low voice. The people who were practicing there were Li Fan and others.

The environment here is not suitable for other cultivators, but it is suitable for Li Fan. He has demonic attributes and can devour and absorb the demonic energy.

As for Yue Qingqiu and Liu Ji...they are demons.

Only Huang Xiong was an outlier. Not only was he not affected by the evil spirit, he also used thunder to temper his body and practice.

At this time, Li Fan opened his eyes, and there seemed to be a flash of silver light, extremely sharp, but it retracted in an instant, and he looked at several figures in the distance.

"Let's go." Meng Hong and the others stepped forward. Luo Qingyan said, "It seems that the surrounding demons have been completely cleared out. The harvest has been getting smaller and smaller these days, and the little demons don't even approach this sea area."

"Do you want to go to the Sun and Moon Palaces to practice? They will take care of you." Li Fan said.

"No, we're not going. The cultivation method of the Sun and Moon Palaces may not be suitable for us. We don't have the talent like Miss Lu Yuan. Let's just stay here. The surrounding islands are quite quiet. How long do you plan to practice in seclusion here?" Luo Qingyan continued.

"I don't know. It depends on the progress of my practice." Li Fan said.

"Okay then. We'll wait for you." Luo Qingyan said with a smile. They had finally found a strong supporter. Li Fan and the others were determined to follow them.

At this time, Li Fan looked up at the distant sky, Luo Qingyan and the others also looked back and saw sword lights flying towards them.

Li Fan stood up with a smile, and two figures came flying with swords.

"Senior Brothers, why are you here?" Li Fan shouted. The two people were Ji Hua and Wen Ruyu.

"I just happened to come here to see you." Wen Ruyu looked up at the sky and said, "There is still evil spirit here?"

"The evil spirit has not dissipated. Perhaps this area is special, so the Nine Infants Demon uses it as its nest." Li Fan responded.

"Are you planning to continue practicing here?" Wen Ruyu asked.

"Yes." Li Fan nodded: "Seclusion for a while, what are your plans, brother?"

"Continue to look for the Resurrection Tree." Wen Ruyu said, "We have already found out about the turmoil in the West Sea. It was indeed the imperial court behind it. However, there is one thing we have not figured out. Jiuying had died that year. How did he come back to life? Unless there is a Resurrection Tree in the West Sea as the rumors say."

Li Fan's expression also became more serious. It was said that the Resurrection Tree was a sacred tree. The Resurrection Jade Dew that he had taken from the Song family was said to be extracted from the dew of the Resurrection Tree. The Resurrection Tree was said to have the effect of bringing the dead back to life, but in fact it was to repair the soul.

The old blind man was severely injured back then, and his soul was difficult to recover, but if they could find the Resurrection Tree, he could be cured. This was also the purpose of the senior brothers coming to the West Sea, and they happened to encounter a chaos of demons.

"The West Sea is so vast that even if the Resurrection Tree really exists, finding it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven." Li Fan whispered.

"Everything depends on human efforts." Wen Ruyu said.

"Well, I will also ask the Sun and Moon Palaces for help to see if there are any clues." Li Fan said. Curing the old blind man is not only his senior brother's wish, but also his wish.

Not to mention the relationship between master and disciple, like that between father and son, even in terms of combat power, if the old blind man can be cured, he will be among the top few on the Sword Saint list.

"Let's continue searching this island to see if there are any clues nearby." Wen Ruyu said. Since this is the lair of the Nine Infants Demon, would the Resurrection Tree exist here?
"Okay." Li Fan nodded.

After a few days, Ji Hua and Wen Ruyu still left without any results, while Li Fan continued to practice on the deserted island.

There is no time on a desert island.

Li Fan absorbed demonic energy, bathed in thunder, swallowed demon pills, comprehended the way of the sword, and forgot the passage of time.

During his practice, Huang Xiong's Xuan Gong broke through the realm, and under the cleansing of thunder, he broke through the realm and entered the golden body. He was born with supernatural powers, and after entering the golden body, his blood and energy illuminated the stars. When his Xuan Gong was running, he was like a god of war.

After some more years, a dragon roar was heard from the deserted island, resounding through heaven and earth. Luo Qingyan and the other two who were practicing on the surrounding islands were startled and came here. They saw a dragon hanging in the sky. It was a green dragon with very beautiful eyes, and it was exactly the one transformed by Liu Ji.

"The snake turns into a dragon." Luo Qingyan was shocked. This was like jumping over the dragon gate and completing the transformation.

Although they had heard of a demon snake transforming into a dragon before, it was only a possibility in theory. In reality, it was extremely difficult to encounter one, even among the demon clan. They did not expect to see it today.

Looking at the burly man not far behind Liu Ji, the aura of Huang Xiong was now extremely terrifying, which made them feel palpitating.

Li Fan is already an unrivaled genius, and the inconspicuous people around him are actually also geniuses.

Li Fan stopped practicing, turned around and looked at Liu Ji, and couldn't help but smile: "Sister Liu has finally transformed into a dragon."

"I've been with you for so many years and swallowed countless demon pills and many dragon pills. It's not surprising." Liu Ji acted very calm. Li Fan had been planning to make her evolve since a long time ago, and now it was just a natural outcome.

"That's true. Sister Liu wants to transform into a real dragon in the future." Li Fan said with a smile. Sister Liu rolled her eyes at him, but she didn't have any extravagant hopes.

It is rare for a snake to transform into a dragon, and even the dragon clan does not dare to think about transforming into a real dragon.

"Brother Huang, are you used to practicing on the island?" Li Fan looked at Huang Xiong again.

"How can I not get used to it? This island is very comfortable. There is heavenly thunder to temper the body, which is just right for practicing profound skills." Huang Xiong laughed loudly.

"The demonic energy has no effect?" Li Fan asked.

"I train my physique, so the evil spirit has little effect on me." Huang Xiong replied. Li Fan looked at him with a smile. He saw that Huang Xiong's blood and energy were extremely strong, making it difficult for evil spirits to invade. This must be the real reason.

"Qingqiu, how about you? Have you been practicing on the island these days? " Li Fan looked at Yue Qingqiu and asked.

Yue Qingqiu lowered his eyes and there was a strange look between his brows, which made Li Fan's expression stagnate. Yue Qingqiu himself was a demon, so he should not have any discomfort. Could it be that he overlooked it?
"I always feel something is wrong." Yue Qingqiu said softly.

"What's wrong?" Li Fan asked.

Yue Qingqiu shook his head: "It's hard to explain, it's just a hunch."

"Maybe there's something wrong with the Nine Infants Island. Does it have any impact on cultivation?" Li Fan asked. After such a long time, the evil spirit still lingered. This Nine Infants Island was indeed a little unusual.

But he and his senior brother had investigated carefully, including top cultivators like Mo Zhantian who had been there before, but they could not find anything wrong.

"No." Yue Qingqiu shook his head.

"Well, continue practicing." Li Fan said.
