Chapter 393 Return to the Crystal Palace
Xu Yang was very worried that the ancestor of the snake beast hiding in the dark of the spirit world would continue to attack Ah Zhu.
"It's too dangerous for us to continue staying in this nightmare beast dream. After all, the power of the ancestor of the snake beast is something we can't compete with. Especially since it specifically targets Ah Zhu, I can't let Ah Zhu continue to take risks and stay here." Xu Yang said frankly.
After listening, Liu Haiyu nodded repeatedly and said, "Indeed, the premise for us to complete this mission is that everyone, including Ah Zhu, must return safely."
"Don't worry, the two of you. I can feel that the ancestor of the snake beast hiding in the spirit world can't transmit any breath to this nightmare beast dream. There are only two possibilities. One is that the snake has given up hunting me, and the other is that it has no way to find us. I guess it's most likely the second one." After forming a pill, Ah Zhu's perception of powerful demon spirits has become more acute, but he still can't detect any information about the ancestor of the snake beast, and made an accurate judgment.
At this time, the Teng Snake Ancestral Beast, who was hiding in the Demon Spirit Valley in the north of the Spirit Realm, was indeed in seclusion for recuperation. It was already injured and lost a wisp of soul. What it had to do was to quickly recover its body.
In the Spirit Realm, even if the Teng Snake Ancestral Beast was as powerful as a king-level demon spirit, it had to respond to challenges from other powerful demon spirits at any time. Becoming stronger and staying strong was the only rule of survival here.
One day, two days, three days, half a month, the shadow of the Teng Snake never appeared in the nightmare beast's dream again.
…
In the following days, Xu Yang has been practicing with all his heart, first to consolidate his cultivation in the True Dan Realm, and second to improve the strength of his blue water flame spirit.
Liu Haiyu was even more busy practicing. He and Xu Yang agreed to break through the bottleneck of cultivation within a five-year deadline, and Xu Yang had already done it four years ahead of schedule. But Liu Haiyu did not rush for success, but chose to improve his body in an orderly manner, as the saying goes.
Just two weeks before the five-year deadline agreed by Xu Yang and Liu Haiyu was about to come, Liu Haiyu finally returned to the Yuanhun Realm.
The golden Yuan Jindan in the purple mansion space in his body disappeared, replaced by Yuanhun, which is many times more powerful than Jindan.
Yuanhun realm, also known as Yuanying realm.
Yuanhun looks like a transparent soul body of a newborn baby. Yuanying sat cross-legged with eyes closed in Liu Haiyu's purple mansion space, gathering powerful soul power.
Due to Liu Haiyu's excellent physique and the assistance of the blue water flame spirit, Liu Haiyu had a blue water mark on his forehead when he formed Yuanying. Although it was only a tiny mark, it concealed the surging power of a big river.
Once a cultivator forms a Yuanying, it is equivalent to double breathing, and the body of merit also increases exponentially.
The first stage of cultivation is called the primary stage. It includes the spirit realm, the virtual realm, the Yuan realm, the real Dan realm and the Yuanhun realm. Yuanhun realm, as the last level of the primary stage, also indicates that the advanced stage of cultivation is about to begin.
In the Zhongyuan Realm, the cultivators who can form a Nascent Soul and achieve the Yuanhun Realm are the pillars of the major sects. There are very few cultivators with higher cultivation, and most of them are accomplished elders in the major sects. Although these people have a longer lifespan, it is much more difficult to improve their skills again than in the primary stage. Therefore, most high-level cultivators spend a long time in seclusion each time, starting from ten years at the shortest and a hundred years at the longest. Therefore, it is difficult for ordinary disciples in the sect to see high-level cultivators.
In a blink of an eye, the five-year deadline has expired.
Xu Yang and Liu Haiyu stood by the Mirror Lake again, one in blue and the other in green, each with its own color.
"Congratulations, Brother Liu, it seems that you have successfully broken through your skills to the Yuanhun Realm." Xu Yang could clearly feel that the soul power fluctuations on Liu Haiyu had undergone earth-shaking changes compared to the last time they met, and he clasped his fists to congratulate.
"It was just a breakthrough within the five-year deadline, without any surprises, and it was not amazing." Liu Haiyu answered calmly, without any pride.
Perhaps a genius has nothing to be proud of in front of another genius. Although Xu Yang was born a mortal, his physique and constitution have undergone many transformations so far, and he is comparable to a genius among geniuses.
"Since we have both broken through our respective gong bodies within the agreed time limit. This competition should be considered a draw." Xu Yang said, and generously dispersed his gong body fluctuations.
Normally, cultivators will deliberately hide part of their gong body fluctuations and will not fully expose their strength.
Liu Haiyu understood and dispersed his gong body fluctuations.
The two sides explored each other's spiritual consciousness and understood the true level of cultivation of each other's gong body.
"Oh! Brother Xu actually cultivated three true pills at the same time, and his soul power is definitely not inferior to mine." Liu Haiyu couldn't help but be surprised.
"Brother Liu's Nascent Soul is also not ordinary, with a powerful water-attributed Nascent Soul Dharma Eye. It is said that cultivators who can cultivate Nascent Soul to Nascent Soul Dharma Eye are all people with great achievements. It is really enviable." Xu Yang praised.
How to enhance friendship between geniuses is probably to flatter each other.
"I don't deserve it. My Nascent Soul only has the rudiments of the Dharma Eyes, and it is far from the real Dharma Eyes. If I can continue to cultivate in this nightmare beast dream for a full sixty years, I have the confidence to cultivate the real Nascent Soul Dharma Eyes."
"Haiyu, you can do it." The "Yun Qiao'er" in the nightmare beast dream is simply Liu Haiyu's fangirl, looking at Liu Haiyu with shining eyes.
Liu Haiyu turned his head and looked at the two "Yun Qiao'er" and smiled slightly.
"I succeeded in forming a Nascent Soul this time and broke through to the Yuanhun realm. I have some experience to share with you. I hope that you two can also break through to the Yuanhun realm in the next practice. Brother Xu, if you are willing, you can also listen." Liu Haiyu said.
"Okay, okay." The two Yun Qiao'er said in unison.
Xu Yang certainly knew what Liu Haiyu meant. He was passing on the experience of breaking through to Yun Qiao'er, so as to help Yun Qiao'er improve her gong physique and break through the bottleneck.
"I couldn't ask for more." Xu Yang clasped his fists.
Hearing the experience of a genius like Liu Haiyu breaking through the Yuanhun realm is a huge treasure for any True Dan realm cultivator.
"Stack the lotus platform, nourish the fetus in the void, the fetus turns into the Yuanshen, and silently nourish it. The purple qi comes, the Nascent Soul is healthy, and it comes out of the Tianmen, and it turns back..." In addition to the process of forming a Nascent Soul, Liu Haiyu also said some details, such as controlling the state of the gong physique when the Nascent Soul is formed. In the end, his suggestion is that things will come naturally, and haste makes waste. The key to forming a Nascent Soul is the word "nurture".
Yun Qiaoer, who was standing by, silently took note of it. Now she had also reached the critical point of forming a fetus. After listening to Liu Haiyu's experience, her mentality became more peaceful.
In the following days, the two "Yun Qiaoer" had been practicing hard, and Xu Yang and Liu Haiyu also practiced in seclusion to consolidate their respective skills.
A sixty-year period of time in the nightmare beast dream passed in the practice of the three people.
Yun Qiaoer successfully formed her own Nascent Soul. Although it was far less powerful than Liu Haiyu's Nascent Soul, she could freely use the mermaid technique to turn her body into a mermaid, and her skills were greatly improved.
The blue water flame spirits in Xu Yang and Liu Haiyu's bodies were several times stronger than before in a full sixty-year practice, and they were fully capable of igniting the blue water holy fire. In particular, Liu Haiyu's Nascent Soul had an additional blue eye between his eyebrows that could be closed at any time, just like the legendary three-eyed prodigy.
At this time, another Yun Qiaoer, who appeared in the nightmare beast dream, was still practicing in the mirror pool.
"Goodbye!"
Yun Qiaoer waved in the direction of Jingtan, bidding farewell to the other self in the dream. After that, she activated the Dolphin Brain Splitting Technique, and the nightmare beast's dream became blurred. Yun Qiaoer, Xu Yang and Liu Haiyu were surrounded by silver light and disappeared on the spot.
Sixty years passed in a hurry, which made people sigh and sigh.
…
Sixty years in the nightmare beast's dream was only half a month in the outside world.
In the crystal palace where the Blue Water Altar was placed.
Quack——
The nightmare beast, which looked like a clay sculpture, made a frog sound.
Three balls of silver light rotated on the ground, revealing the figures of Xu Yang, Yun Qiaoer and Liu Haiyu.
"Huh? Where are the Virgin Mary and the Ghost Fire Lord?" Looking at the empty Crystal Palace in front of her, Yun Qiaoer showed a little panic on her face.
Xu Yang took two steps forward, picked up the ghost wood waist pendant on the ground, and then said: "Master has returned to the ghost wood waist pendant. He has been too tired during this period of time."
"Since Lord Ghost Fire is still here, Lord Mother will not be far away. Let me take a closer look." Liu Haiyu said.
After speaking, Liu Haiyu activated the Flame Spirit Eyes. A blue water shadow flashed in his originally black eyes, and a spirit pig phantom jumped in it. Liu Haiyu's Flame Spirit Eyes and Xu Yang's Flame Spirit Eyes are different. One is water and the other is fire. Xu Yang's eyes are derived from the Five Elements Flame Art, while Liu Haiyu's Flame Spirit Eyes are derived from the Taoist Water Curse. The commonality between the two is that they both have a certain ability to see through the essence of things.
As he swept his eyes across the Crystal Palace Hall, he found a clue.
In a corner of the Crystal Palace Hall, a crystal that was one person tall and had a vague human shape on the outside was locked by Liu Haiyu's Flame Spirit Eyes.
Liu Haiyu silently recited the spell, and a pair of blue lights appeared in his eyes, which turned into two special light talismans. The talismans have no entity, and are outlined by blue flames. They are made by using the flame power of the blue water flame spirit and integrating the talisman technique that Liu Haiyu is good at.
The two blue fire talismans fell on the human-shaped crystal opposite like two blue firebirds.
There was a slight sound of "pa pa".
The rune power on the fire talisman flowed on the surface of the crystal like a stream of water, and the rune light reflected the crystal transparently. Gradually, the real body of Hai Yue'er, the "Holy Mother of the Pig Spirit Clan", appeared in the crystal.
At this time, Hai Yue'er was an old woman with white hair and wrinkled skin. In her deep eye sockets, she still had a persistent look, staring at the empty altar opposite.
"The Holy Mother had previously spent her life essence to contain the two-headed scale dragon, and then she forcibly ignited the Blue Water Holy Fire. Her soul power was almost exhausted, and now only a trace of it is left in this crystal, which will probably dissipate soon. Perhaps seeing us re-ignite the Blue Water Holy Fire with her own eyes is her last remaining wish. I will use the power of the Flame Spirit to help her consolidate this trace of soul essence, maybe ten years, maybe thirty years." Liu Haiyu said with a little regret.
Then, with one hand in the air, the two blue fire talismans on the blue crystal began to burn, just like Hai Yue'er's once brilliant life.
After a while, the power of the blue fire talisman burned out, and a blue water fine line appeared on the forehead of Hai Yue'er sealed in the crystal. This is exactly the ability of Liu Haiyu's Nascent Soul.
"Holy Mother!"
Yun Qiao'er shouted and rushed over, stroking the cold surface of the crystal with her hand, crying.
"Let the three of us work together to ignite the Blue Water Holy Fire and fulfill the Holy Mother's wish. Maybe the Holy Mother can really see it." Xu Yang comforted.
