From Swamp Dog to Crocodile Ancestor

After a while, the pit became quiet, and all the previous array attacks had dissipated.

Li Yi hovered in mid-air, surrounded by five radiant objects: a metal crystal, a piece of fresh vine, an ice crystal, a flame, and a piece of jade.

These are the five key points of the great formation before us. After Li Yi controlled one of them, the operation of the five elements became flawed.

Now, this formation has been taken control of by Li Yi.

As Li Yi calmly sensed the rotation and mutual restraint of the five elements within, many insights arose in his mind; this great formation was truly miraculous.

After a period of contemplation, Li Yi regained his senses and prepared to first take control of the array's core and completely subdue it.

The process went very smoothly. This great formation was originally left behind by the poisonous dragon, but now the dragon is completely dead and is ownerless.

If this formation weren't so ingenious, it wouldn't have lasted this long.

After taking control of the array's core, Li Yi continued to venture deeper into the pit, but to his disappointment, the interior was already a wasteland.

The bottom of the pit was covered with scorched earth, and it was in a completely different state from that caused by phosphorus fire.

That was caused by the continuous lightning strikes that came crashing down on the cave.

Everything inside the cave was almost completely destroyed, but Li Yi still managed to find one thing immediately.

It was a purple bead that was one-third broken, radiating immense spiritual power, the broken parts of which were nowhere to be found.

It fell from the sky, and after so many years, its surface still bears traces of lightning, which is quite frightening.

Li Yi suddenly recalled the moment he had witnessed Long Ying undergoing tribulation from afar. The poisonous dragon spat out its dragon pearl in a final desperate attempt, but it was shattered by the lightning tribulation.

There was even a fragment that fell around him and was swallowed by a toad.

The toad was then smashed by a powerful ancient vine expert, who took the fragment.

It seems that the portion of the legacy left by the Poisonous Dragon has already been divided up by the powerful members of the other three races.

As for this place, they couldn't even covet it, let alone get in; they could only watch helplessly from the outside.

This dragon pearl indeed contains a great opportunity. Just by holding it, Li Yi felt his cultivation level slowly increasing.

However, a terrifying, broken will also roams within it, far more dangerous than the heart of the demonic ancient tree.

This dragon pearl isn't that useful.

"The Dragon Transformation Pass is a bloodline leap, going against the heavens. It is so dangerous. Ordinary cultivators probably would not encounter such a tribulation even when breaking through to the Golden Core stage."

Looking at the scorched earth all around, Li Yi felt a pang of emotion.

After searching for a while, Li Yi took the Flood Dragon Pearl, gained control of the Five Elements Array, and prepared to send all his companions to this place.

This place is a natural barrier, and there is also a moist swamp that has not been eroded by phosphorescent fire, making it an ideal place for cultivation.

Li Yi had originally planned to travel a long distance to find a place outside the Phosphorus Fire Disaster, but now it seemed unnecessary.

Li Yi returned to the outside world, standing above the palace, his body surging with both pure and turbid energies, rumbling and flowing, briefly breaking open a passage in the purple mist in front of him.

Then, the entire palace was slowly lowered into it.

The white jade palace slowly descended from top to bottom of the pit, where Li Yi completely occupied the space, preparing to solidify his foundation and gain insight into the path ahead.

Just then, his gaze swept across the room, and Li Yueyou's figure reappeared, now standing beside him, looking at him with great interest.

"I almost forgot you existed."

Li Yi already knew the true nature of the ancient strange insect; it was currently only residing inside his body and could not cause him any harm.

It's time to find a way to get rid of it.

A month after settling down here.

There was no moon tonight, the sky was overcast, and the area within the purple mist barrier was completely dark, with only the white jade palace emitting a faint light.

Li transformed into his true form, perched atop the palace, his pale white eyes radiating a chilling light in the darkness, his entire body surging with magical power.

Some nematode-like structures sway beneath its skin scales, causing slight bulges in certain areas.

After a while, Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief, his pale white eyes flickering uncertainly in the darkness.

He had forcibly gathered the ancient monster's body together, but the thing was incredibly stubborn, and even with his powerful magic, he couldn't expel it.

"Giggle giggle..."

The illusory Li Yueyou was still dressed in modern clothes, sitting opposite Li Yi with her legs crossed, her eyes filled with a mocking light.

Its power was indeed beyond Li Yi's imagination.

Perhaps it was the inspiration I gave it when I was condensing the pure and impure immortal foundation that made it so much more difficult to deal with.

No one knows when it will develop the power to turn against itself.

After much effort, Li Yi deeply sensed the danger of the ancient strange insect, yet he also developed a strange feeling towards it.

It is the only being in this world who knows the secret of its past and present lives, and even wants to use those memories to turn against itself.

"I will get rid of you sooner or later."

Li Yi transformed into human form, uttered a silent sentence, and then turned and entered the palace.

Inside the white jade palace, Mu'e lay on his side on a white jade platform, his face flushed, seemingly asleep, with a drunken air about him.

She was holding a blade of grass in her hand, as red as blood, emitting a strange fragrance.

It was a rare and precious material that grew from the blood of a venomous dragon, and it was incredibly tempting to a demon beast like her who possessed a trace of dragon blood.

Li Yi walked past her, glanced at a chaotic yellow mist on the other side of the palace, and then looked up at the star map above.

He had memorized this star map and believed it to be meaningful, perhaps guiding him to find something extraordinary.

But for now, it's all just empty talk.

There is no corresponding starry sky in this area.

The white python had been in seclusion for a long time, quietly staying in a small room. Li Yi hadn't seen it for a month.

Every so often, faint fluctuations of magical power would emanate from it.

The inability to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage caused an extreme desire within it, which slightly unbalanced its mind.

After standing in front of the small room for a long time, Li Yi carefully sensed the atmosphere inside before turning around and leaving.

Things involving water and fire treasures cannot be rushed; they may or may not exist in this land.

That also depends on that elusive element of luck.

Arriving at the center of the Jade Palace, Li Yi quietly stayed there, closed his eyes, and began to cultivate.

The white crocodile unknowingly arrived beside him, coiled up, and surrounded him in the center. Its pale golden eyes occasionally stared at Li Yi, its mind seemingly lost in thought.
