From Swamp Dog to Crocodile Ancestor

Chapter 156 Understanding the Dao of Purity and Turbidity

The bone blade swept across, the chilling aura felt real, but in reality, it was all an illusion.

It didn't touch Li Yi, but brushed across his neck like a phantom, giving Li Yi a feeling that was so real it was almost indistinguishable from reality.

For the first time, Li Yisen's white pupils trembled slightly, and he almost made a move.

But he restrained himself, because what he saw before him was ultimately an illusion.

An illusion that only you can see.

The real Li Yueyou is one with him, parasitizing his body, and is an amorphous existence, each basic unit tiny and invisible.

The next moment, a strange smile finally appeared on Li Yueyou's pure white face, as if Ping was very satisfied with Li Yi's reaction, and it disappeared on its own.

Although she had disappeared, Li Yi felt heavy-hearted.

He originally wanted to wait until his cultivation level improved again, so that he might be able to really separate Li Yueyou from his body, but this situation made him anxious.

The journey from the early to the middle stages of Foundation Establishment is a long one, and Li Yi is also filled with uncertainty about his path.

The Pure and Turbid Immortal Foundation is not so easy to evolve; it is extremely profound and can drive even a dragon mad.

Where can we find a way to separate her from the problem?

In Li Yi's understanding, the ancient strange insects originated in the ancient past and were deeply buried in the swamp environment. The monsters of this era seemed to know nothing about them.

Only those monsters with inherited memories or history can understand how terrifying the ancient monsters and insects are.

It was the overlord of ancient times.

But these creatures didn't even understand its true nature as well as Li Yi did.

As he pondered, Li Yi's thoughts returned to the grand hall where he had buried himself.

"If I have no other choice, did that ancient human sect ever encounter strange and ancient insects, and did they have a way to deal with them?"

"And those two dragons, dragon species should possess some kind of ancient inherited memory, perhaps they know more."

Clues appeared in Li Yi's mind, causing his gaze to once again cross this area and fall on the direction of that scorched earth.

Perhaps the answer lies somewhere within that region, waiting to be discovered.

"Wait a while longer, until the White Crocodile successfully establishes its foundation. Four early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators should be enough to hold this place. At that time, I..."

"Let's travel far again, to explore the territory where the Ancient Vine Clan and other Demon Trees might be located."

Li Yi slowly got up and walked towards the White Jade Palace, his body slowly sinking into the mud.

At this moment, a huge creature emerged from the mud, revealing a pair of bright yellow-green eyes, staring at Li Yi.

It looked at Li Yi with some curiosity. In its eyes, all the rulers of the territory agreed that this seemingly weak humanoid was the true ruler.

However, it did not perceive any strength or power in Li Yi.

As if sensing something, Li Yi turned his head and glanced at the female crocodile.

The pale white eyes revealed a sense of death and terror; they were formed from phosphorescent light and naturally represented a cataclysmic disaster.

In an instant, the fear overwhelmed the mother crocodile, chilling her to the bone and rendering her unable to move, frozen in place.

Fortunately, the eye contact was extremely brief, and Li Yi quickly turned his head away, completely immersing himself in the mud.

It turned out to be a female crocodile, nothing serious.

After a long while, the mother crocodile finally came to her senses, her body jolted violently, and then she sank into the mud, her mind uneasy.

Inside the Jade Palace, Li Yi transformed into his original form and quietly cultivated, with numerous strange phenomena appearing around him.

Within his mirror-like black scales, various illusory figures emerge from pure, dark worlds.

The four phases of the swamp, the shadows of the sun and moon, all flow within each and every scale.

This was a kind of breathing; Li Yi was no longer breathing air, but rather the vast and complex spiritual energy within the entire swamp.

As Li Yi's spirit penetrated deep into the Pure and Turbid World, and he sat in the Pure and Turbid Immortal Foundation, he watched as the entire world continued to evolve, and various strange phenomena gradually emerged in the outside world.

Li Da shook his head, staring in surprise at the swampy land around him, suddenly feeling as if he were inside the mouth of a colossal creature.

Everything around seemed to undulate slowly as a unified whole—not just the swamp, but also the sky above, everything in this area—

Meanwhile, Mu'e and Shi Yan, inside the White Jade Palace, showed joy on their faces and quickly immersed themselves in the rhythm of this Dao, trying to see their own path within it.

This fluctuation instantly spread to a large area, turning a vast swamp into something extraordinary.

It all seemed the same as usual, but to those demonic beasts with cultivation, it was all a blur of reality and illusion, blurring the lines between the real and the strange phenomenon.

The white python, which had been coiled inside the plum tree canopy, also awoke at this moment, opening its eyes and staring intently at a green plum in front of it.

Within its body, the long-lost forces of water and fire began to circulate and collide, and it almost instantly entered a deep state of cultivation.

Outside the Jade Palace, in the swamp, Li Da transformed into a burly man with a crocodile head and a human body, poking at the swamp with a thick finger, looking completely bewildered.

"What is this?"

It wasn't until much later that it closed its eyes in a daze and sank into the swamp.

In the other direction, a large, strong female crocodile covered in deep olive-colored scales was already deeply affected by the fluctuations, her yellow-green eyes seemingly frozen in place.

Around it, swamp silt subtly gathered into a vortex, and streams of mixed swamp gas materialized and flowed into its body along its scales.

When they reached the mother crocodile, at the center of the vortex, all the strange phenomena seemed to disappear; it was like a bottomless pit that devoured everything.

But only it knows what is happening inside its body at this moment.

Strands of swampy air circulate, rapidly shedding impurities and forming yellow-green air currents.

Wherever the airflow goes, flesh and blood break apart and recombine, bones break and regenerate, and the heart beats more powerfully. This enormous flesh and blood body is being tempered in an unimaginable way.

It was during this time that the mother crocodile truly grasped a crucial opportunity in the path of body refinement and gained complete enlightenment.

Inside the fence, the spirit insects no longer flew around; they all obediently clung to the bloodworm grass and the motionless, invisible triangular-headed creature, falling into a state of slumber.

In the swamp where the supernatural and reality intertwine, a large group of crocodiles emerge from the mud and enter a state of enlightenment.

They cultivated together, and the abundant energy of the surrounding swamp gathered together, surging like ocean waves.

In a place unseen by anyone, beneath the slaughterground where the wild boar demon offered sacrifices, a strange seed sprouted under the influence of an unusual phenomenon, slowly beginning to grow—
