Over the years, because his life span was running short and he did not dare to break through the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, Zhenjun Cangyuan spent most of his time falling into a deep sleep using various means.
But this time, Ye Linyuan obtained the news that a large number of ancient soul-nourishing medicinal species, which made Zhenjun Cangyuan a little uneasy.
Because for True Lord Cangyuan, although True Lord Yuanyue's strength is incredible, as long as he does not break through the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, the possibility of True Lord Yuanyue attacking him is almost zero.
After all, a fellow practitioner in the early Nascent Soul stage is too useless to a giant in the late Nascent Soul stage, and there will be no improvement even if he is swallowed.
But Ye Linyuan is different. This fellow practitioner who is in the early Nascent Soul stage is not only extremely powerful himself, but also possesses a set of spiritual treasure formation flags.
Once Ye Linyuan has upgraded to a set of mid-grade spiritual treasures, we will sooner or later perform the Devouring Dao on him.
Because only by devouring a few of their fellow practitioners could Ye Linyuan's cultivation advance by leaps and bounds, and by then he might be able to barely protect himself when facing True Lord Yuanyue.
"With Ye Linyuan's means, if it's fast, it will only take five Jiazi years, if it's slow, it will take at most ten Jiazi years to upgrade the spiritual treasure."
Zhenjun Cangyuan spoke slowly, with a solemn look in his eyes.
In front of the cave, a middle-aged monk heard this and couldn't help but say: "I suspect that all this is a conspiracy of Master Yuanyue?"
"This is an open conspiracy." True Lord Cangyuan said slowly and solemnly, "If I don't take action, then when Ye Linyuan refines the spiritual treasure, it will be the end of my life."
"If we can kill it in advance, and obtain his Xuanyuan Zhenhai Flag and other natal items, we can refine them and integrate them into my Cangyuan Dinghai Pearl."
"Then my natal formation device might be able to be upgraded to a mid-grade spiritual treasure. In this way, I might still have a chance to survive the hands of Master Yuanyue."
When the middle-aged man heard this, he couldn't help but look cautious.
Because of Zhenjun's action, Ye Linyuan and his fellow enemies were plotted against, and those fellow practitioners who were originally unwilling to fight were forced into a life-and-death battle.
Even if Ye Linyuan told them that he would not devour their Dao essence, I am afraid these cultivators would not believe it at all.
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man said, "Old Ancestor, what you mean is that we should take action against Taoist Xuanyuan."
"Ah."
Cangyuan Zhenjun nodded, then said after careful consideration: "Then Ye Linyuan's natal spiritual treasure is stronger, and his overall strength may be stronger than mine."
"If you want to kill it, you need to gather at least five Yuanying middle-stage True Lords and prepare the most powerful means."
The middle-aged man nodded, and then said: "The Lingze Zhenjun of the Central Region has a set of nine lower-grade spiritual treasures, the Nine Ze Pearls. Although his strength is slightly inferior to yours, he can barely fight against a mid-stage Nascent Soul."
"The combat power of Lingjian Sanren from the East Region is slightly weaker, but he can still be considered as half of the combat power of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul."
"It's a pity that Tianhe Dao Sect and Ye Linyuan have reached a reconciliation. This lineage will most likely not take action. Otherwise, our chances of success would definitely increase greatly."
Cangyuan Zhenjun was very calm, his eyes were indifferent as he said: "We are still fighting with the Dragon Clan. Tianhe Patriarch values the inheritance of the sect more, so naturally he will not let Yan Dongliu take action."
"But maybe we can join forces with the dragons."
"Join hands with the dragon clan?"
The middle-aged man was slightly stunned and couldn't help showing a look of surprise.
True Lord Cangyuan nodded, and then calmly said: "The internal factions of the Dragon Clan are complicated. Some people hope that he will break through the middle stage of the Nascent Soul and become the enemy of True Lord Yuanyue."
"There are also some people who have a deep blood feud with him and are waiting for an opportunity to take action. For example, the Black Abyss Dragon Palace may have long been eager to tear out Ye Linyuan's tendons and skin him alive."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man nodded and asked, "When do we start?"
"We only have one chance to strike, so we must be fully prepared for this battle."
True Lord Cangyuan spoke slowly and thoughtfully, and then said, "According to the time, the Black Prison Prince has already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage for hundreds of years. I'm afraid he will break through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage within a hundred years."
"..."
Just as the outside world was making plans, Ye Linyuan calmly returned to the floating islands.
On top of the highest Yuanyue Islands, Ye Linyuan calmly looked down at the vast world, and vaguely felt that a storm was about to come.
"It looks like a storm is coming."
Ye Linyuan opened his mouth slowly, with a hint of coldness between his brows.
Shui Hanqing, who was standing by, frowned slightly and couldn't help asking, "Is someone plotting against you?"
"Ah."
Ye Linyuan spoke calmly, and after using divination again, he vaguely cleared away some of the thick clouds.
At this time he saw something, but realized that the disaster that was about to happen was inevitable.
"Then what should we do?" Shui Hanqing was a little worried.
Ye Linyuan stood on the clouds, looking at the vast waters and said calmly: "As long as it is not Master Yuanyue who takes action personally, other disasters are nothing more than that."
"My cultivation will be able to break through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul in two hundred years at the latest. If I can take advantage of the opportunity to kill one or two of my fellow practitioners, it will just cover up the problem of my too fast cultivation speed."
At this point, Ye Linyuan took out a batch of infant cultivation pills, calmly handed them to Shui Hanqing and said, "This batch of infant cultivation pills will be given to Xu Qiu first."
Shui Hanqing had been to Peiyingdan and could not help but nodded slightly.
Ye Xuqiu has been in the Nascent Soul stage for more than a hundred years, and his cultivation progress is not far from the middle Nascent Soul stage. As long as he has a sufficient supply of Nascent Soul pills and various rare treasures, he will be able to break through to the middle Nascent Soul stage within sixty years.
Once Ye Xuqiu successfully breaks through, it will also be a trump card in Ye Linyuan's hand.
"..."
After giving instructions to Shui Hanqing, Ye Linyuan immediately began his retreat.
He first planted the soul-nourishing flower medicine in the Xuanyuan Taoist Palace, and then began a long period of seclusion.
Ye Linyuan went into seclusion this time only to improve his own strength.
In order to quickly improve his strength, Ye Linyuan sorted out all the resources he had to assist in his cultivation.
In the end, he discovered that there were a total of seven fourth-grade lower-grade sword intent fruits and one fourth-grade lower-grade enlightenment fruit that could quickly improve his strength.
There is no need to say much about the Sword Intent Fruit. As for the Enlightenment Fruit, it can assist in comprehending various supernatural powers and the essence of Tao. In this era, it is a rare treasure that can be found by chance.
"Unfortunately, we haven't cultivated any spiritual medicine above the fourth-level mid-quality level yet."
Looking at these elixirs, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but shook his head.
The fourth-grade mid-level spiritual medicine is the most top-level treasure that can be accessed under normal circumstances in the world of immortal cultivation.
The fourth-grade high-quality spiritual medicines are hard to come by. Even the King of Medicine in Nanling takes a thousand years to cultivate one. Apart from that, they can only be found in some ancient ruins.
Because fourth-grade top-quality spiritual medicines are one in a hundred, they need to be planted in large quantities before they can be transformed into fourth-grade top-quality spiritual medicines. This requires an extremely large scale of top-quality spiritual fields.
In addition, it is necessary to find fourth-grade high-quality medicinal species to increase the probability of successful cultivation.
In fact, with Ye Linyuan's current spiritual plant skills, although it is extremely difficult to cultivate fourth-grade top-quality spiritual medicines, he can also cultivate fourth-grade mid-quality spiritual medicines.
The main reason why the cultivation was not successful this time was that the spiritual field was too small, and the time he had owned the top-grade spiritual field was not long enough.
"Wait another one or two hundred years, and my cultivation will reach the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. The size of the top-grade spiritual field will exceed ten acres, and I should be able to stably produce fourth-grade middle-grade spiritual medicines."
"The power of the fourth-order, lower-grade Sword Intention Fruit is not enough to allow me to reach the Great Perfection of the Myriad Transformations Sword Art."
"But if it is used to comprehend various sword techniques, it may be able to increase the power of the Wanhua Sword Technique to a certain extent."
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart, then swallowed a sword fruit and began to comprehend the various magical powers he had mastered.
However, this time, Ye Linyuan did not try to comprehend the ten great sword techniques.
For Ye Linyuan, his core has always been the Wanhua Sword Art, and the core of the Wanhua Sword Art lies in the word "wan". The essence of this sword art lies in its inclusiveness, which can integrate all kinds of sword arts into one, and has the unique mystery of embracing all rivers and seas.
The power of the Wanhua Sword Technique lies in the fact that all rivers converge into one sword, rather than the magic of a single sword technique.
At this time, Ye Linyuan used the power of the sword to improve his understanding of the sword by more than ten times.
In an instant, he began to comprehend the various sword techniques he had practiced over the years.
Over the years, Ye Linyuan has comprehended as many as three thousand sword techniques, but most of them only stopped at the level of skills, and most of them only stopped at the initial stage.
Taking this opportunity today, Ye Linyuan began to comprehend continuously, and constantly improved and practiced these spells. Unknowingly, his practice of these spells gradually improved.
As time went by, after he refined three sword intent fruits in succession, his understanding of these spells improved by several levels.
Climbing step by step to the realm of Hinayana and even Mahayana, one is only one step away from the realm of minor supernatural powers.
Unfortunately, the gap between magic and minor supernatural powers is still a huge threshold, and it will be difficult to break through in a short period of time.
"How to cultivate supernatural powers is a qualitative change. If you want to cultivate all three thousand Taoist arts into supernatural powers, the accumulation required is too powerful. It requires a long time of opportunity and accumulation."
Ye Linyuan understood in his heart, then put the idea aside and began to focus on some techniques with greater potential.
And when he completely refined the remaining four Sword Intent Fruits, Ye Linyuan's various sword skills suddenly underwent a qualitative change, and eventually he cultivated a total of 365 sword skills.
It includes thirty-six Mahayana magical powers, seventy-two volumes of Hinayana sword magical powers, and more than two hundred sword magical powers of the initial stage.
"Three hundred and sixty-five volumes of sword magic, I have reached the Zhoutian realm without realizing it."
Ye Linyuan whispered slowly, feeling the 365 kinds of sword intent in his body, and suddenly he had a sense of almost perfect transcendence.
He activated the Wanhua Sword Technique, unifying the power of all the sword techniques into one. Immediately, the power of the Wanhua Sword Technique surged again, and its might increased by about 30% compared to the original.
You know, the original Wanhua Sword Technique is powerful enough to be on par with the late Nascent Soul stage.
Now that it has been increased by another 30%, it can be considered a further step forward, or even a qualitative change.
"My Wanhua Sword Art has improved, and I am only one step away from the Mahayana realm."
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart, and suddenly he had some enlightenment.
For him, comprehending all kinds of sword-related magical powers and techniques is essentially an enhancement and perfection of the Wanhua Sword Art, because the root of the Wanhua Sword Art lies in these sword-related magical powers.
After feeling the improvement in his strength, Ye Linyuan nodded with satisfaction.
He then took out the Enlightenment Fruit, refined it into three Enlightenment Pills, and began to use this as a foundation to comprehend various supernatural powers.
This time, Ye Linyuan focused all his energy on comprehending his core magical powers.
Ye Linyuan has two core magical powers. One comes from his martial arts, namely the bright moon rising from the sea and the bright moon reflected in the sea.
The other type comes from the prototype of Wanhua Xianjue, which are Wanhua Xianfu, Wanhua Sword Jue, and Wanhua Xiaoyaoyou.
Among these five core magical powers, all have reached the realm of Hinayana, but there is still a big gap in the perception between them.
For example, the Wanhua Sword Technique and the Rising Moon over the Sea, these two great magical powers have basically reached the limit of Hinayana, and are only one step away from the Mahayana realm.
The reason why he didn't make a breakthrough was more because his cultivation was insufficient. A low-grade enlightenment pill would definitely not help him break through.
On the contrary, the other three supernatural powers are still a long way from the Mahayana realm, and there is still a lot of room for improvement at the Hinayana level.
This time, Ye Linyuan wanted to use the power of the Enlightenment Pill to take his three core magical powers to a higher level and make up for the shortcomings of his core magical powers.
At this time, as Ye Linyuan took the Enlightenment Pill and meditated hard, the progress of the three core magical powers suddenly made rapid progress. Before long, he reached the realm of Hinayana and was only one step away from the realm of Mahayana.
"Wanhua Xianlu, Wanhua Xiaoyaoyou, and Haiying Mingyue have all been improved, about 10% to 20% from the current level."
“But if I want to reach the Mahayana realm, I may have to wait until my cultivation breaks through the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.”
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart. Because he had not practiced the great magical power level of escape technique, his Wanhua Xiaoyaoyou had never been as good as the Wanhua Sword Technique. It really maintained at the top level of the same level of escape technique.
However, after comprehending various sword techniques this time, Wanhua Xiaoyaoyou also had a slight blessing. In addition, his comprehension of Wanhua Xiaoyaoyou was improved, which allowed his speed to finally cross the barrier of the late Nascent Soul stage.
"My current speed may have reached the threshold of the late Nascent Soul stage. Although it is not as good as the late Nascent Soul stage who is good at speed, it has also completely reached the late Nascent Soul stage."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart. According to his estimation, he could fly about six million miles a day in the Leigang Domain.
Don't underestimate just the speed. The difference in speed is often crucial in battle.
Ye Linyuan has mastered the Wanhua Xiaoyaoyou, and his speed is almost comparable to that of the Golden-winged Dapeng in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. This allows him to defeat powerful enemies one by one in battle.
This is also the reason why the monks of lower realms almost surrounded and killed the monks of higher realms.
High-level monks can easily pull over monks of lower levels by relying on their higher speed.
A giant figure in the late Nascent Soul stage, as long as he is not trapped in a narrow environment, can rely on his higher escape speed to defeat them one by one even if he faces a hundred Nascent Soul early stage True Lords joining forces.
Not to mention the giants in the late Nascent Soul stage, most of the True Lords in the middle Nascent Soul stage are more than 30% faster than those in the early Nascent Soul stage. This 30% speed is enough to make those in the early Nascent Soul stage exhausted.
"The speed is close to that of the late Nascent Soul stage, the attack power is among the best in the late Nascent Soul stage, and the defense and enemy trapping capabilities are also as good as the Xuanyuan Zhenhai Flag."
"My overall strength should not be weaker than that of a slightly weaker late Nascent Soul giant."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face.
Of course, the giants at the late Nascent Soul stage are basically old monsters who have lived for hundreds or thousands of years. These people have many trump cards and rare treasures.
He has only reached the threshold of the late Nascent Soul stage. If he really risks his life, Ye Linyuan will definitely be the one who suffers.
However, with his normal combat power, Ye Linyuan should have reached the late Nascent Soul stage.
The reason why Ye Linyuan has such strong strength is mainly because of his powerful soul refining technique.
After refining the third-level rare treasure, Ye Linyuan's magic power quality and magical power changed qualitatively, and they are still very powerful even today.
Therefore, the early Nascent Soul stage is Ye Linyuan's strong period. After he breaks through to the middle Nascent Soul stage, the effect of the spiritual refining artifacts will be greatly reduced, and his strength improvement will not be too exaggerated at that time.
"When an ordinary person breaks through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, their strength can be increased by at least 50%."
"My breakthrough to the middle stage of Nascent Soul can only increase my strength by 20% at most, and it depends more on the improvement of mana, so the middle stage of Nascent Soul is actually my weak period."
"Only after finding a fourth-tier rare treasure to refine spirits can we continue to usher in a new period of strength. However, fourth-tier rare treasures are hard to come by. If you want to find one, you may have to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage."
Ye Linyuan kept calculating in his mind, he knew very well how rare the fourth-grade rare treasures were.
In this day and age, a top-grade fourth-tier treasure is only available once in a thousand years, and a fourth-tier rare treasure is naturally even harder to find throughout the ages. Almost every time it comes out, it will cause a war among giants.
Ye Linyuan wanted a fourth-level spiritual refining artifact, and it had to be one that suited him. The difficulty of obtaining it could almost be said to be harder than ascending to heaven.
Perhaps only in the ancient Chunyang Treasure House, the ten forbidden areas such as the Meteorite Forbidden Land, or the deepest part of the Jiexu Forbidden Land, are there any high chances of the existence of such treasures.
Even though Ye Linyuan boasted of his unparalleled combat power, he did not think that he was qualified to obtain such a rare fourth-tier treasure when he was in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
Knowing this, Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart and said: "If you want to continue to improve your strength after breaking through the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, you can only start from the direction of magical powers, spiritual treasures, spiritual talismans, and body refining."
Having understood his future direction, Ye Linyuan continued to practice in seclusion, and in his spare time he planted new spiritual plants in the newly opened spiritual field.
Time flies so slowly that seventy years have passed without us noticing.
This year, Ye Linyuan was 730 years old, and his accumulated magic power exceeded 2,400 cycles. The scale of the Taoist Palace's top-grade spiritual field exceeded six acres for the first time.
During these seventy years, the overall strength of the Ye family has increased significantly. (End of this chapter)
