Chapter 148: Golden Ape builds foundation and joins the game [-word chapter]
"My current strength is considered to be at the seventh level of senior foundation building."
Ye Linyuan pondered, feeling slightly certain in his heart.
His strength has reached the seventh level of foundation building, which is already the level of major foundation building. With this level of strength, he has a greater ability to protect himself even when facing the great perfection of foundation building.
It can be said that from now on, as long as the fake dan master does not take action, there will be few people in the foundation-building realm who can pose a fatal threat to him.
"My cultivation has increased a lot, but I still keep a low profile."
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart, then suppressed his aura to the initial stage of foundation building, and then he showed a smile.
After doing all this, Ye Linyuan calmly walked out of the cave spirit eye.
One has to admit that the Black Turtle's Breath-Concealing Technique is truly extraordinary. It actually completely suppressed the movement of Ye Linyuan's breakthrough to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. Except for a few Foundation Establishment cultivators in the family who sensed something wrong from the spiritual energy of the spiritual spring, no one else actually noticed anything wrong.
"Husband."
At this time, Shui Hanqing saw Ye Linyuan coming out of seclusion, and couldn't help but ask with a hint of anticipation.
Ye Linyuan nodded silently, then said: "After this breakthrough, I will stay in the middle stage of foundation building for a long time."
After breaking through the middle stage of foundation building, Ye Linyuan's magic power is already four times that of the same level. In order to cultivate to perfection in the middle stage of foundation building, he needs to accumulate 432 true essences.
Now Ye Linyuan only has 150 true essences. Even if his cultivation speed increased by 50% after breaking through the middle stage of foundation building, it would take him 63 years to complete the middle stage of foundation building without taking Xuanyuan Pills.
Even if the Xuanyuan Pill is added, it is estimated that it will take at least fifty years.
This was only because he had refined the second-level rare Water Spirit Pearl. Without the help of the rare Water Spirit Pearl, it would probably take Ye Linyuan 190 years of hard practice to reach the middle stage of foundation building.
"The power of the Cang Hai Ming Yue technique is powerful, but it is too difficult to practice. If I don't have the help of the soul refining technique, I'm afraid I can only take the path of swallowing the Tao."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, and quickly put the thought away.
But he stood up, then looked at Shui Hanqing and said, "I'm going to go out for a while, you guys continue your cultivation."
Having said this, Ye Linyuan walked out of the retreat room again and found the King Kong Giant Ape and the Water Silkworm who were practicing in meditation.
After several years of cultivation, the Water Silkworm and the King Kong Giant Ape have accumulated almost enough knowledge, and now is a good time to break through to the foundation-building stage.
In this regard, Ye Linyuan did not waste any time and took them directly out of the Xinghu Islands and quietly arrived at the Jinpeng Islands, which is now the Ju'ao Island.
"call out--"
Just like last time, after the giant turtle sensed his breath, it immediately fled into the deep sea.
Seeing the giant turtle leaving, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but show a look of surprise, and then gave up the idea of chasing it.
After the breakthrough, his strength increased a lot, and he was actually confident that he could catch the giant turtle.
However, he discovered that in the current Giant Ao Island, not only were there no living creatures in the Qi training realm, but there was also a complete foundation for a spirit gathering formation preserved here.
It was obvious that the giant turtle had been specially prepared for a long time and left it for them to use for a breakthrough.
Moreover, Ye Linyuan discovered that all the monsters within a thousand miles around the Ju'ao Island had been expelled.
"It's interesting."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, and his murderous intent towards the giant turtle was reduced.
The Giant Turtle Islands are located in a remote area and are an excellent place for secretly breaking through the foundation-building stage. Since the giant turtle cooperates so tacitly, there is no need for him to find a way to kill it.
With such thoughts emerging in his mind, Ye Linyuan quickly arrived at the Giant Ao Island and sacrificed the flags to form a second-level low-grade formation.
After doing all this, Ye Linyuan released the King Kong Giant Ape and the Water Silkworm, looked at the two spirit beasts and said with satisfaction: "You have accumulated enough, now it's time to break through the foundation-building stage."
"Ow."
The giant ape let out a monkey cry and patted its chest with a look of joy.
The water silkworm had a low intelligence level and just shyly hid in Ye Linyuan's hand, but it made a rustling sound.
Ye Linyuan knew very well that the intelligence of the spirit insects was often lower than that of spirit beasts. If the IQ of the King Kong Giant Ape was comparable to that of an eight or nine-year-old child, the IQ of this water silkworm should only be at the level of a four or five-year-old child.
Fortunately, both the spiritual insects and spiritual beasts have clear instincts for breakthroughs, and there is no possibility of failure in the rare bloodline breaking through the foundation-building stage.
So Ye Linyuan looked at the giant ape first and said calmly: "You should go into seclusion first and break through the foundation-building stage as soon as possible."
"Ow."
The giant gorilla let out a monkey cry and immediately went into the retreat room to begin a breakthrough.
This giant King Kong ape has been promoted to a rare bloodline for five or six years. During these years, it has been constantly refining its exclusive Soul-Feeding Pills. The speed at which its cultivation level has improved can be said to be very fast, and its bloodline has long been full.
Now, breaking through to the foundation-building stage is a natural thing for the King Kong Giant Ape, and soon after, the King Kong Giant Ape broke through to the foundation-building stage.
"Success."
Seeing the King Kong Ape’s successful breakthrough, Ye Linyuan couldn’t help but smile.
After the giant gorilla's breakthrough, its body shape has changed drastically. Its entire body is covered with golden hair, and its arms are muscular. Its physical strength alone is comparable to that of a cultivator in the early stages of foundation building.
As a spiritual beast that excels in fighting, the overall strength of the King Kong Giant Ape is very amazing.
In addition to this most basic physical strength, the King Kong Giant Ape also has three bloodline spells, namely, steel bones, copper head and iron arms, and indestructible golden body.
The steel bones and copper head and iron arms are all passive spells, which are enhanced by the natural blood patterns, making the body of the King Kong Ape extremely powerful.
With the blessing of these two spells, ordinary first-level magical weapons would at most leave a white mark on its body and would not cause any damage at all. Even low-grade spiritual weapons would hardly cause serious injuries when hitting it.
The Indestructible Golden Body is an extremely powerful bloodline spell, which is as powerful as the Mahayana Taoism spell. Once activated, it will transform into a golden light covering the body, which can greatly enhance the defense of the King Kong Ape and increase his speed and strength to a certain extent.
According to Ye Linyuan's estimation, once the King Kong Giant Ape activates the Indestructible Golden Body, it should be able to withstand low-grade spiritual weapons without any damage, and even temporarily display a strength comparable to that of the middle stage of foundation building.
However, the indestructible golden body consumes a lot of energy. With the current level of cultivation of the King Kong Giant Ape, it can only be activated for half an incense stick of time. It is best to use it only when risking one's life.
"Under normal circumstances, the strength of the King Kong Giant Ape is enough to deal with two ordinary people in the early stage of foundation building."
“If he activates Vajra Indestructibility, his overall strength will be able to temporarily fight against the middle stage of foundation building.”
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart that this giant kong ape was the most skilled in fighting among the demon race. Although its magic power was at the bottom among those of the same level, its physical strength and defense were very powerful.
Among the three spiritual beasts he contracted, the Han Chi practiced both physical and magical skills, and its overall strength was comparable to that of a mid-stage foundation building cultivator. It was Ye Linyuan's biggest trump card.
The King Kong Giant Ape is slightly worse. When it is in a burst, it can be compared to the middle stage of foundation building. Under normal circumstances, it can only be regarded as the top early stage of foundation building, which is enough to rank second.
Jiaoyuebei was the first to break through the foundation-building stage, and now she has been doing so for more than twenty years. Her cultivation is somewhat close to the middle stage of foundation-building, but she is not good at fighting, and can still be regarded as a senior in the early stage of foundation-building.
Even if Ye Linyuan himself did not take action, just relying on these three foundation-building spirit beasts, his strength would already be considered as that of a senior mid-stage foundation-building cultivator.
The most crucial thing is that the bloodline of a first-level rare spiritual beast has great potential, and there will not be too much bottleneck before breaking through the late stage of foundation building. In other words, Ye Linyuan has basically reserved three late stage foundation building spiritual beasts.
"Even among some Jindan forces, late foundation building masters are considered high-level."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart and couldn't help but smile a little.
At this time, the giant ape came to Ye Linyuan, suddenly knelt down and said: "Thank you, Master, for the grace of enlightenment."
Ye Linyuan was slightly stunned, then he reached out and touched the head of the King Kong Ape, and then helped it up.
Looking at the giant ape, Ye Linyuan said, "From today on, you are no longer the little ape you used to be, but one of my left and right arms."
The giant ape's eyes lit up, and he said firmly, "From now on, Xiao Jin will definitely clear all enemies for the master."
"it is good."
Ye Linyuan smiled, then asked it to wait aside, then looked at the water silkworm and said, "Next, you should also break through."
The little silkworm nodded, and immediately crawled into the cave, breaking through the foundation-building stage again.
During this breakthrough, Ye Linyuan realized that the spiritual energy was a little insufficient, so he added several thousand spiritual stones to the little water silkworm, which allowed it to break through to the foundation-building stage.
Compared to the King Kong Ape, the Water Silkworm's breakthrough this time made much less noise and was also much weaker.
As a rare spiritual beast, the water silkworm's strength may be only at the bottom level among the early stages of foundation building. Any ordinary foundation building cultivator can easily defeat this water silkworm.
Even if three or four nearby geniuses join forces, they have a good chance of defeating this water silkworm.
"It's weak, but fortunately it will be able to produce second-level spiritual silk on a large scale in the future."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart that an ordinary spiritual silkworm in the early stage of foundation building could produce about one or two taels of second-grade low-quality spiritual silk every year.
This water silkworm was promoted as a rare spiritual silkworm, and it recovers its vitality very quickly. It can produce one kilogram of second-grade low-quality spiritual silk every year.
In addition, water silkworms can also produce a small amount of first-grade rare spiritual silk, which is about the level of one or two taels of spiritual silk every year.
At this rate, water silkworms can produce a pound of spiritual silk every ten years, and there will be no problem in refining a first-level rare magic robe.
"With the second-level spiritual silkworm, cultivating spiritual fields should not be a problem in the future."
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart, then put away the water silkworm and the giant gorilla, and left the Giant Ape Islands quietly.
Not long after he left, the giant turtle returned to the Giant Turtle Island. It looked at the direction where Ye Linyuan left with a serious expression and said, "It's that guy again. He has led people to break through the foundation-building stage one after another. It seems that he is probably hiding something."
"It's strange to say, a monster appeared in this deep sea, and now a person with extraordinary luck has appeared in the shallow sea human race. It seems that this sea area is going to undergo another big change."
At this point, the giant turtle pondered for a moment, but soon shook his head: "Forget it, no matter what he is planning, it has nothing to do with me. I have finally found a safe place to live in hiding, and I can't expose myself easily again."
"..."
On the other side, Ye Linyuan returned with the water silkworm and the golden-backed giant ape.
Shui Hanqing saw him return with glory on his face, so she put a piece of clothing on him and said, "My husband, I think you got what you wanted on this trip."
"Ah."
Ye Linyuan nodded and released the giant gorilla immediately, then handed the water silkworm to Chu Lingxi.
Seeing that the spirit beasts and spirit silkworms had already established their foundations, everyone was immediately surprised. Zhou Yuwan couldn't help but ask, "Young Master once said that Liang Xuanfeng conspired with others to plot against you."
"Now that you have broken through to the middle stage of foundation building, and your family has gained two more foundation building fighters, your strength has improved significantly again. Should we take advantage of their tricks and kill them?"
“Isn’t it too early?”
Chu Lingxi asked hesitantly, "Those people who want to plot against us will definitely use an oath to restrain us from inviting our friends to help."
"We still don't know who they are, so it's still risky to act rashly. Your cultivation is improving rapidly every year, so why not wait a few more years before taking action?"
Upon hearing this, the other people couldn't help but nod slightly.
Among the several foundation-building cultivators of the Ye family, Zhou Yuwan and Chu Lingxi broke through about ten years later than Ye Linyuan. Now, they have been practicing for more than ten years, and with the help of the Xuanling Pill, their practice speed can be said to be extremely fast.
Even though they were practicing superior techniques, their magic power was 40% to 50% stronger than that of ordinary foundation-building techniques, but they had accumulated a lot over the years.
If nothing unexpected happens, they will only need to wait seven or eight years at most to cultivate to perfection in the initial stage of foundation building.
Shui Hanqing came a few years later, and it has only been seven or eight years since he broke through to the foundation-building stage, but it is estimated that he will be able to cultivate to perfection in the initial stage of foundation-building in twelve years.
The superior Taoist foundation is natural and there is no bottleneck before breaking through the late stage of foundation building. Even Shui Hanqing, who has practiced half a volume of "Crossing the Sea and Killing the Long Whale", can naturally break through to the middle stage of foundation building after completing the initial stage of foundation building.
In other words, it will only take twelve years at most for the Ye family to have four cultivators in the middle stage of foundation building, not to mention the three trump cards that will not be used easily, namely the Green Crane Puppet, the Bright Moon Shell, and the Cold Chi.
"Time is on our side."
Shui Hanqing also spoke slowly, and then said with a serious look: "Once we break through the middle stage of foundation building, perhaps we can use their tricks to kill them completely."
"I don't think so."
Ye Linyuan spoke calmly, and then slowly said: "On the surface, you are already within their calculations. Those people should also know that I can produce Xuanyuan Pills, and then calculate the time for you to break through the middle stage of foundation building."
"So if you delay for another ten years, they will definitely guess that you have already broken through to the middle stage of foundation building."
"In this case, they will either give up their plan to plot against us, or if they don't give up, it means they have the power to suppress several mid-stage foundation building cultivators."
When everyone heard this, their hearts sank slightly.
They pondered for a moment, and Shui Hanqing spoke up: "If that's the case, then we can only give up the Yimu land vein."
"That's not necessary."
Ye Linyuan shook his head and then said, "They couldn't have expected that I would have already broken through to the middle stage of foundation building, let alone that I would have mastered the Black Turtle Breathing Technique."
"I am going alone this time to see if I can get the treasure from their scheme."
The three girls' faces changed slightly when they heard this. Chu Lingxi couldn't help but asked worriedly, "Sir, isn't it too risky for you to go alone?"
"Let us accompany you." Zhou Yuwan was also worried.
"No need. With my current strength and means, as well as Minghe Gongying who is good at saving his life, and the Black Turtle Breathing Technique, it shouldn't be too difficult to withdraw. Even if I don't get the treasure, I won't suffer too much loss."
Ye Linyuan quickly made up his mind and said directly: "Don't worry, I won't leave immediately. I will prepare for a while before leaving."
When everyone heard this, although they still wanted to persuade him, they finally took back their words.
"..."
After deciding to join the game, Ye Linyuan began to make preparations.
He first collected intelligence through various channels, and then combined various information to make divinations and calculations. Unknowingly, he gradually gained some information.
"Meng family, Su Shaoyu, Xuanling Sanren, Liang family..."
Ye Linyuan calculated step by step and soon figured out the four forces that were plotting against him.
But Ye Linyuan did not breathe a sigh of relief, because if it were only these four forces, they would not be able to completely kill the entire Ye family.
After all, the Ye family has five or six foundation-building cultivators in the open, among whom Ye Linyuan is in the middle stage of foundation-building, and the other three geniuses with superior Taoist foundations are as powerful as one or two in the middle stage of foundation-building when they join forces.
"The other party dared to plot against me. I'm afraid there is at least one person in the late stage of foundation building, or a person who has achieved the perfection of the middle stage of foundation building with a superior foundation."
"That is to say, in addition to the four forces, there is at least a fifth force secretly planning."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, and had a rough guess about the power of the person who planned it.
【Revenge】【Whale in the Sea】【Moon Peeping】【Greedy】
He slowly picked up the chess pieces and marked them for the Meng family, Su Shaoyu, Xuanling Sanren, and the Liang family respectively, but he was hesitant about the fifth chess piece.
"Meng family wants revenge, Su Shaoyu is the enemy of Han Qing, Xuanling Sanren should be for the Bright Moon Shell, and Liang family wants the Blood Spirit Grass and Yimu Earth Vein."
"So why did this fifth person take action?"
Ye Linyuan continued to ponder and soon had a guess about the identity of the fifth person.
He was very clear that if there was no grudge between them, it would be unlikely that a cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage would attack him. After all, he had never had any grudges with those cultivators in the late Foundation Establishment stage.
Then the identity of the fifth person is most likely a fellow practitioner, and this person’s cultivation should be at the middle stage of foundation building.
"This fifth force should be someone who has practiced half a volume of Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart and had a guess about the identity of this fifth person.
This is because only fellow practitioners, especially those who have perfected the middle stage of foundation building in the practice of superior Tao foundation, can possess strength close to or comparable to that of the late stage of foundation building.
As for why he is not a fellow practitioner in the late stage of foundation building, this is actually easy to explain.
Because for those who are in the late stage of foundation building while practicing Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong, swallowing Ye Linyuan now is really useless and it won't improve their cultivation and foundation at all.
After all, on the surface, Ye Linyuan is only in the initial stage of foundation building. Even if he swallowed Meng Changfeng, it would probably take him another sixty years to cultivate to the middle stage of foundation building.
Therefore, the person who took action was most likely a practitioner who had practiced half of the Cang Hai Ming Gong. As for why it was not a person who had practiced the complete Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong, this was actually easy to explain, because people who practiced the complete Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong had no bottleneck before the late stage of foundation building, and would not stay at the state of perfection in the middle stage of foundation building.
"I have completed the middle stage of foundation building by practicing half a volume of Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong."
Ye Linyuan whispered slowly, casually dropped a chess piece, and said calmly: "【Fellow Participant】"
At this point, Ye Linyuan probably had a clear enough understanding of the layout and calculations of his own power.
"【Revenge-taker】【Whale in the Sea】【Moon-spying Man】【Greedy Man】【Fellow Participant】."
"Among these five forces, the Meng family has one person in the middle stage of foundation building, the Liang family has at least two or three people in the middle stage of foundation building, Su Shaoyu and Xuanling Sanren are both considered half of the middle stage of foundation building, and there is at least one [fellow participant] with the combat power of the late stage of foundation building."
"With such a strong strength, it can easily swallow up my Ye family."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart and had a clear understanding of the other party's strength.
If Ye Linyuan had not broken through to the middle stage of foundation building, then even if Shui Hanqing and the other three successfully broke through to the middle stage of foundation building, they would not be a match for these five forces.
Because Su Shaoyu and Xuanling Sanren's cultivation progress was also fast, their foundation-building time was almost the same as Ye Linyuan's, nearly ten years earlier than Shui Hanqing. They would most likely be able to break through to the middle stage of foundation-building within the next ten years.
Therefore, even if Shui Hanqing and the other two broke through, they would only be three powerful fighters in the middle stage of foundation building. Facing the opponent's years of layout, they probably would not have a chance to turn the tables.
After all, the other party didn’t know that Ye Linyuan had the magical skill of refining spirits, and it was impossible for them to expect that he would break through the middle stage of foundation building so quickly.
Now that Ye Linyuan has broken through to the middle stage of foundation building, he may not be weaker than his opponent in a head-on fight. He may even be able to suppress his opponent. However, he probably does not have the strength to completely defeat his opponent.
Since there is a high probability that it will not be finished in twelve years, there is no need to reveal the trump card. It is better for Ye Linyuan to go alone and use the Minghe Gongying and Xuangui Xianxi techniques to see if he can secretly seize the opportunity of the Yimu land vein.
After having a clear idea, Ye Linyuan immediately made various preparations for the trip.
He first found Minghuang Jianzi, rented an extremely fast second-grade top-quality spirit boat through his channels, and then bought more than a dozen second-grade accelerating spirit talismans at a high price.
After doing all this, Ye Linyuan pretended to investigate for a few months, but finally he couldn't help but send a message to Liang Xuanfeng.
Not long after, Liang Xuanfeng arrived at the Seven Islands of Xinghu again and was warmly welcomed by Ye Linyuan to the Welcoming Peak.
"It seems that fellow Daoist, are you ready to cooperate with me?"
Seeing Ye Linyuan being so attentive, Liang Xuanfeng immediately said with a smile on his face.
Ye Linyuan nodded, brewed a pot of tea for him personally, and then said with a smile: "To be honest, as a second-level spiritual plant husband, the Yimu land vein is of immeasurable value to me."
"This is such a rare opportunity. Maybe I won't be able to encounter it again in my lifetime. I naturally don't want to miss it."
Liang Xuanfeng nodded, and then said, "I wonder how many people the Ye family is willing to send this time?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Linyuan immediately revealed a bitter smile and said, "To be honest, my Ye family is very weak right now, and except for me, the other foundation builders are not strong enough."
"I'm worried that they might be in danger, so I want to keep them to guard the family."
Liang Xuanfeng was slightly stunned, as if he felt that this was a little unexpected. After pondering for a moment, he couldn't help but persuade: "It is understandable that Daoist friend feels sorry for his people."
"But as the saying goes, there is strength in numbers. If you send a few more people to build foundations, you will have a better chance of success."
"You don't need to persuade me anymore, fellow Taoist."
Ye Linyuan smiled bitterly, and then said, "Most of the people in my Ye family have established their foundations at a high level. Their cultivation speed is relatively fast, so there is no need for them to take risks with me."
"And to be honest, if I were to go alone on this trip, with my strength at the middle stage of foundation building and my formation, I would have a good chance of coming back alive if I were to encounter any danger."
When Liang Xuanfeng heard this, he couldn't help but nodded slightly.
But he sighed, and then said: "That's right, your Ye family has four superior Dao foundations. Apart from your special cultivation method, the other three are not slow in cultivation. Perhaps they can all reach the late stage of foundation building within a hundred years."
"These are stable late-stage foundation-building seedlings. Before they break through to the late-stage foundation-building stage, there is no need for them to take risks to fight for opportunities."
Speaking of this, Liang Xuanfeng couldn't help but reveal an envy: "Alas, sometimes I really envy your extraordinary luck. Unlike my Liang family, we haven't had a superior Taoist in the past three hundred years."
Upon hearing this, Ye Linyuan suddenly showed a hint of pride, but he also sighed with some emotion and said, "To be honest, my three Taoist companions are fine, but the speed of my Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong cultivation is really too slow."
"If it were an ordinary superior technique, I would never risk exploring the Yimu Earth Vein."
Liang Xuanfeng also nodded, and then couldn't help but said: "I have also heard of your technique, and I also know that it is notoriously slow to practice."
"But I believe in your talent. Once you become a quasi-third-level spiritual plant husband, you will definitely have no shortage of resources for cultivation in the future."
“By then, with Lingzhen Xuanyuan Pills or even the second-grade superior rare treasure pills, I think I will be able to catch up with the cultivation level of my three younger brothers and sisters.”
"That's all we can hope for."
Ye Linyuan sighed, and a hint of anticipation appeared in his eyes.
Seeing this, Liang Xuanfeng said again: "But in this way, when the spoils are distributed, you can only get a small share."
"I don't ask for much." Ye Linyuan said after pondering for a while, and then said bluntly: "I just want the opportunity to improve the skills of spiritual plant husband. As long as you can get this opportunity, the rest of the spiritual plants and other things will be given to your Liang family."
"Okay." Liang Xuanfeng nodded, then said with a smile: "In that case, I will go back and prepare, and set off in three months."
"It's what I should do." Ye Linyuan said with a smile.
After bidding farewell to Liang Xuanfeng, Shui Hanqing appeared beside Ye Linyuan and said, "You were the only one who took action this time. It seems that this was beyond Liang Xuanfeng's expectations."
"They plotted against both of us, and now that one of their culprits is gone, they're naturally a little surprised."
Ye Linyuan spoke calmly, then stopped Shui Hanqing and said, "You stay in the family, and everything will be fine when I come back."
Shui Hanqing looked at him steadily, feeling a little uneasy, but when she thought of Ye Linyuan's Black Turtle Breath-Concealing Technique and the Green Jade Sky-Breaking Boat, she finally felt relieved.
To outsiders, Zhou Yuwan and Chu Lingxi are both Ye Linyuan’s Taoist companions, but in fact, the true identities of these two women are still just his maids.
Ye Linyuan called the two women Taoist companions just to avoid unnecessary trouble for some people.
As Ye Linyuan's only Taoist partner, although they are not yet husband and wife, she is also the person who knows Ye Linyuan best and understands the life-saving ability of the person in front of her.
If Ye Linyuan couldn't escape back alone, then there would be no use in adding her.
She also understood that she could not change Ye Linyuan's decision, so she could only suppress her worry in her heart.
"Don't worry."
As if sensing Shui Hanqing's worry, Ye Linyuan patted her head and said, "I have calculated again and again and have seen through their plan. Moreover, with my current strength, it is more than enough for me to escape."
"I see."
Shui Hanqing nodded, and then said: "I just feel that I can't help you now."
"how could be?"
Ye Linyuan shook his head, then smiled and said, "I didn't come here to fight them, otherwise you could at least block a mid-stage foundation building cultivator for me."
On the other side, Liang Xuanfeng left the Xinghu Islands and came to an unnamed deserted island.
Here, several mysterious foundation builders have been waiting for a long time. Seeing Liang Xuanfeng coming, one of the mysterious cultivators immediately asked, "How is it?"
"He agreed, but he was very cautious, so he went alone this time," Liang Xuanfeng replied.
"one person?"
A mysterious monk frowned slightly, then said indifferently: "If Shui Hanqing can't come, how can I achieve perfection in my Taoism?"
"Friend Su, don't worry."
A man in white who had remained silent from beginning to end spoke up. He said calmly, "Shui Hanqing had no bottleneck before he reached the perfection of the middle stage of foundation building. The other two superior Dao bases were able to break through to the late stage of foundation building."
"The three of them are only in the early stages of foundation building now. There is no need for them to take the risk of exploring the Yimu earth veins. It is not too surprising that they did not take action."
At this point, the man in white said, "But among the Ye family, only Ye Linyuan is the most difficult to deal with. As long as we kill him, the others won't be too much trouble."
"When the time comes, we will join forces and spend more time to conquer the Seven Islands of Xinghu. By then, Shui Hanqing will still be trapped."
Upon hearing this, the mysterious monk put away his murderous intent.
Seeing this, Liang Xuanfeng said, "After conquering Ye Family Island, my Liang family will want those blood spirit grasses and 40% of the Ye Family's heritage."
"I don't want the Ye family's heritage." Another person spoke up, his eyes burning as he said, "I only want the Bright Moon Shell."
"..."
Three months passed quickly.
Early in the morning of that day, Ye Linyuan left the Xinghu Islands and gathered with the Liang family at the agreed location.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, you are finally here."
Seeing Ye Linyuan arriving, Liang Xuanfeng immediately spoke in a warm voice.
Ye Linyuan nodded and calmly observed several foundation-building cultivators of the Liang family. He immediately discovered that all five foundation-building cultivators of the Liang family, including two in the middle stage of foundation-building, were here.
According to Ye Linyuan's estimation, Liang should have secretly brought some spiritual beasts at the foundation-building level. As for how many they brought and how strong these spiritual beasts were, Ye Linyuan didn't know.
"Now that everyone is here, let's make a vow."
After the two sides greeted each other, Liang Xuanfeng spoke directly
Having said this, the two parties quickly concluded a contract and swore a vow to each other.
According to the Dao Heart Oath, if they attack each other during this exploration, they will be hindered by their inner demons when they try to break through the realm in the future.
In addition, Ye Linyuan could not send anyone to follow him secretly, nor could he tell anyone about this trip.
After swearing the Dao Heart Oath, Ye Linyuan asked, "Is it just the Dao Heart Oath?"
Liang Xuanfeng smiled, then looked at Ye Linyuan and asked, "If we set a curse that shortens our lifespan, we will be at a great disadvantage. After all, we have heard a little about the healing ability of the Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong."
After hearing this, Ye Linyuan no longer mentioned other methods of restraint.
Seeing this, the Liang clan elder said, "Let's set off now without further delay."
As they said this, everyone set up their escape lights and headed towards the depths of the vast ocean under the leadership of Liang Xuanfeng.
The location of the Yimu land vein is in the vast deep sea outside the Tianxing Sea and the Black Dragon Demon Territory. It is tens of thousands of miles away from the nearest shallow sea islands, and hundreds of thousands of miles away from their location.
They flew for more than a month, covering more than 300,000 miles, before they arrived at the mysterious deep-sea island.
"It's right here."
Looking at the deep-sea islands in front of him, Liang Xuanfeng spoke with a smile.
Ye Linyuan looked up and saw an island with a radius of 800 miles in the vast deep sea ahead. It was located in the vast deep sea.
And under the island is the endless dark deep sea, which makes people feel creepy at a glance.
"The average depth of the seawater here is probably hundreds of miles deep, and some trenches are probably more than a thousand miles deep."
Ye Linyuan spoke slowly, revealing an extremely solemn expression.
In the deep sea of this depth, the swirling turbid spiritual energy can form second-level or even third-level spiritual veins, which can nurture false elixir or even golden elixir-level sea monsters.
Even if a cultivator who has reached the great perfection of the foundation building stage were to capture such an isolated island in the deep sea, he probably would not be able to defend it for a long time.
Because the deep sea is extremely dangerous, once a deep-sea monster appears, it can completely devour them.
In comparison, the Jindan Demon King like the Black Dragon Demon King would not slaughter human cultivators at will. They would even capture some human cultivators who were good at practicing various arts and refine spiritual weapons and magic treasures for themselves.
The spiritual weapons and formations circulated by the demon clan, as well as many spiritual plants and medicines, were basically refined or cultivated by human cultivators controlled by the Golden Core Demon King.
As far as Ye Linyuan knew, some enlightened Jindan Demon Kings, in order to encourage human cultivators to serve them, even gave extremely generous treatment to those human cultivators who were loyal to them.
After all, the demon race has poor talent in the various arts of cultivation. Before breaking through to the Nascent Soul Demon Emperor, their skills in cultivation are often far inferior to those of the human cultivators. They can only count on these human cultivators to make up for their shortcomings.
Of course, only the Jindan Demon King who cultivates pure spiritual energy would do this. Those deep-sea beasts that have been cultivating turbid spiritual energy for a long time often have low intelligence and will not value the human race as much as the Jindan Demon King does.
Getting back to the topic, after realizing the depth of the sea water here, Ye Linyuan became more confident about his next plan.
"Fellow Daoist Ye."
At this time, Liang Xuanfeng turned around and looked at Ye Linyuan and said, "There are six foundation-building demon crocodiles on the island, two of which are in the middle stage of foundation-building. You and I will each stop one later, and the others will be handed over to the rest of us in the Liang family."
"it is good."
Ye Linyuan nodded, and then together with Liang Xuanfeng, they rushed towards the island.
After they entered the island, the monsters on the island immediately noticed something unusual, and in an instant six foundation-building monsters flew into the air and attacked them.
Obviously, in order to prevent Ye Linyuan from calculating any abnormalities, the Liang family did not clear out these foundation-building monsters in advance.
At this time, a war between the two sides was about to break out. The six foundation-building cultivators faced the six foundation-building demon crocodiles and quickly gained the initial upper hand.
Because they had one more person in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, and several elders of the Liang family also released three Foundation Establishment monster beasts, so soon a Foundation Establishment monster crocodile was killed, and the balance of the battlefield began to tilt towards them.
Seeing that the situation was not good, a group of demon crocodiles began to flee in all directions, except for the two demon crocodiles in the middle stage of foundation building that Ye Linyuan and Liang Xuanfeng were facing, who were still fighting and retreating.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, I'm here to help you."
At this moment, Liang Xuanfeng shouted loudly, and then released a golden eagle spirit beast in the middle stage of foundation building, which pounced towards Ye Linyuan.
Facing the sudden attack from the mid-stage foundation-building spirit beast, Ye Linyuan dodged the attack while his expression suddenly changed and he said angrily, "Liang Xuanfeng, are you plotting against me?"
"Did you just find out?"
"It's too late."
Liang Xuanfeng sneered, and then several terrifying attacks came from the void.
There are sky whales flying across the sky, there are fairies in the moon slashing at you, and there are swords whistling towards you in the sky full of moonlight.
Including the five foundation-building cultivators of the Liang family and several foundation-building spirit beasts, more than ten foundation-building cultivators attacked together. The massive attack completely blocked Ye Linyuan's retreat.
"boom--"
After a loud roar, everyone showed ecstasy at first, but soon their expressions changed slightly.
But the besieged Ye Linyuan disappeared into thin air, and his real body had already appeared thousands of feet away.
"The moon shines brightly."
Among the crowd, a man in white who stood out from the crowd spoke, then calmly raised the Moonlight Sword and slashed.
Ye Linyuan tried his best to block the attack, and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backwards. Then he looked at everyone in shock and anger and said, "Su Shaoyu, Xuanling Sanren, and you who betrayed the alliance, I didn't expect you to plot against me."
"But you all underestimate me. If I didn't have enough means to protect my life, why would I take risks so easily?"
Having said this, he summoned a spirit boat, stepped on it, and flew away into the void.
"Second-level superior spiritual boat!"
Seeing Ye Linyuan fly several miles away in the blink of an eye, the expressions of everyone present suddenly changed.
Only one figure in white stood out from the crowd and remained calm. He smiled and said, "If I had known you were cautious, how could I be unprepared?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he casually took out a spirit boat, which turned out to be a second-grade top-grade spirit boat.
After offering up the Spirit Boat, the figure in white looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, even though Ye Linyuan has a second-grade superior Spirit Boat, his cultivation is far from enough. He won't be able to keep it going for long even if he activates it."
"We will spare no effort to chase him in a boat. When his magic power is too much, we can completely hunt him down in this vast ocean."
"it is good."
When everyone saw this, they immediately showed joy. They all got on the boat and drove this second-grade superior spirit boat to quickly chase after Ye Linyuan.
