The so-called artifact spirit was the manifestation of laws.
Once a magic artifact reached the fifth grade, it could be nurtured by the user's mastery of laws and give birth to an artifact spirit.
At this stage, the magic artifact could be called a spirit artifact. Its power was worlds apart from that of a fourth grade magic artifact.
Of course, not just any magic artifact could nurture an artifact spirit.
The average fifth grade magic artifact's owner only had a lifespan of two thousand years. It was very difficult to nurture an artifact spirit.
An ancestral magic artifact like the Violet Gold Jewel Pagoda had been nurtured for tens of thousands of years. Since it had reached the seventh grade, it naturally had an artifact spirit.
Once an artifact spirit was born, its owner would be able to use all methods related to laws through the artifact, greatly increasing the power of the artifact.
Xue Yan wasn't sure how many demons there were under the seal.
This was an absolute secret that only half-step Yuanying demons knew about.
Lei Yan's strength was above that of cultivators of the same grade. His abilities and laws were the bane of demons.
With the help of others, he could deal with two or three early-stage Yuanying demons.
If the artifact spirit of the Violet Gold Jewel Pagoda awakened, four or five early-stage Yuanying demons wouldn't be able to take advantage of the humans.
The upper echelons of the demons estimated that it would take at least six or seven years to collect enough essence blood at the current rate of hunting.
Recently, under the constant interception of the humans, the demons were able to bring back fewer and fewer beasts.
The speed at which they collected essence blood was also greatly affected. At this rate, it would take at least another ten years to collect enough essence blood.
Xue Yan knew where the demons hunted.
After hearing this news, Wang Daoyuan immediately returned to the Fiend Suppression City.
When the people of the city saw him return, they were all very excited.
Lei Yan asked, "Did you succeed?"
Wang Daoyuan nodded. "I succeeded. I spent a lot of effort before I managed to remove the Soul Restriction."
Cloudsword quickly asked, "How long will it take for the Sky Devil Valley to break the seal?
Also, what's the current strength of the demons? "
Wang Daoyuan answered, "The demons were fully prepared before they took action.
If we didn't interfere, they would only need six or seven years to kill the beasts.
With our interference, it will take them another ten years to collect enough blood essence.
As for the strength of the Demon Clan, their combat power was above the late Gold Core stage, which was exactly the same as the information he had received previously.
There were more than two hundred demons at the Gold Core stage and above, and this did not include the demonic cultivators who had joined them.
On the Sky Devil Valley's side, there were three layers of Demon Race's formations, and there were even Level Five Magic Artifacts.
Even if his master went over, he wouldn't be able to get away with it.
The only thing we can do now is to cut off their source of blood essence. "
Daoist Master Xuan Tian continued to ask, "How many Yuanying Demons are there in Sky Devil Valley? Now that Senior Martial Brother Lei Yan has broken through to the Yuanying realm, the human race is strong, why is the demon race attacking now? "
"The number of Yuanying Demons sealed in Sky Devil Valley is a top secret. Only the half-step Yuanying Demons know about it.
As for why they were acting now, it was because their master had broken through to the Yuanying realm.
With their master's strength, ordinary early Yuanying demonic cultivators are no match for them.
If this drags on for too long, their master's Purplish Gold Jewel Pagoda will recover to Level Five and awaken its Artifact Spirit.
At that time, the demon race's arrangements in Sky Devil Valley will become a joke.
The demon race is anxious and wants to race against time with us.
That's right, the demon race's hunting grounds are mainly within the Sky Beheading Mountain Range.
They are going north along the Sky Beheading Mountain Range.
The demonic cultivators near the Demon Suppressing City are just trying their luck.
At the same time, they are acting as decoy soldiers to cover the ferocious beasts near the Sky Beheading Mountain Range. "
Daoist Master Han Shuang nodded. "This is normal. Ten thousand years ago, when the demons were in chaos, the ancestor of the Treasured Cauldron lineage relied on the Purplish Gold Jewel Pagoda to kill countless demons.
Senior Martial Brother Lei Yan, your Purplish Gold Jewel Pagoda also absorbed a lot of Level Five Spirit Qi at the Hidden Dragon River.
How long will it take to recover to Level Five? "
The Purplish Gold Jewel Pagoda had become the key to the battle, so these people were naturally very concerned.
Daoist Master Lei Yan smiled. "The Jewel Pagoda has indeed absorbed a lot of Level Five Spirit Qi before, and it's only a line away from Level Five now.
But this line is like the difference between a half-step Yuanying and a true Yuanying. Although it's very small, it's very difficult to cross.
As for how long it will take, it's hard to say.
At most, it will take a dozen years, but at least five to six years. "
Daoist Master Cloudsword stroked his beard and laughed. "In that case, we have some confidence in our hearts.
Now that we know the demon race's main source of blood essence, it's no big deal to drag it on for a dozen years.
Why don't we make some preparations and go to the Sky Beheading Mountain Range to give the demons a ruthless blow?
Snatch all the ferocious beasts they hunt, and we can eat some ferocious beast meat to replenish our consumption. "
No one had any objections. This matter couldn't be delayed. It was best to make the demons completely lose confidence in hunting ferocious beasts, and then come out to fight the humans.
Daoist Master Lei Yan smiled. "Then let's do it big.
Daoyuan, you know the specific locations of the demonic cultivators' activities.
I'll leave the command of the battle to you.
Daoyou of the Archaic Arcanum Sect is good at defense and not good at offense. He's not very good at fighting in the wilderness, so he'll stay behind to guard the Demon Suppressing City and the Golden Iron Mountain.
The cultivators of the other three sects, as well as the cultivators of the late Aurous Core stage and above, all take action.
Let's fight and kill all these bastards who have forgotten who their ancestors are. Let's see which demonic cultivator dares to rely on the demons in the future. "
Everyone agreed in unison. Subsequently, more than a dozen high-grade tier-four flying warships carried hundreds of Aurous Core cultivators.
They left the Demon Suppressing City and headed east.
As the commander of the battle, Wang Daoyuan's flying warship flew at the front.
The participating cultivators released their spiritual beasts to search for the whereabouts of the demon race's lackeys.
Once discovered, flying warships were sent to chase after them. The other flying warships continued to head towards the Sky Beheading Mountain Range.
The flying speed of the demonic cultivators was much slower than the high-grade tier-four flying warships.
Needless to say, as long as there were enough spirit stones, flying warships could circle the entire Beiyuan Xiuxian without a problem.
Encountering more than a dozen demonic cultivators along the way, not a single one escaped.
Very soon, the party arrived in the vicinity of the Sky Beheading Mountain Range.
According to Bloodflame's memories, more than five thousand miles away from the Sky Beheading Mountain Range's main vein and more than ten thousand miles away from the Absolute Heaven Abyss, there was an enormous valley called Hundred Herb Valley.
The other places near the Absolute Heaven Abyss were mostly barren.
But in this Hundred Herb Valley, vegetation was lush.
Especially a kind of spirit plant called Demonic Soul Grass was abundant in this place. After ferocious beasts and demonic beasts ate it, it could greatly increase their intelligence.
This Demonic Soul Grass had an extremely strong attraction to both demonic beasts and ferocious beasts.
Demonic Soul Grass was a high-grade tier-four spirit medicine. Its grade was even higher in ancient times.
Wang Daoyuan had also seen records of this kind of spirit medicine in the beast taming books in the Valley of Beasts.
The cultivators in the Valley of Beasts used Demonic Soul Grass to refine some medicinal pills and used to tame beasts.
After many spirit beasts ate this kind of medicinal pill, their intelligence increased greatly, and they could speak human language without transforming.
After their intelligence increased, they could also cultivate some spells.
Demonic beasts only relied on innate spells to fight their enemies, and their methods were monotonous. It was hard to avoid being restrained.
Taming spirit beasts and letting them cultivate some spells or even cultivation methods could make up for this flaw.
Pill formulas to refine this kind of medicinal pill, as well as spells and cultivation methods suitable for spirit beasts to cultivate, were also the core inheritances in the Valley of Beasts.
The inheritances obtained by the Purple Gold River branch only mentioned these and did not have the true secret manual.
The other small factions related to the Valley of Beasts' inheritances also did not have the means to let spirit beasts cultivate cultivation methods.
At most, they could only let spirit beasts cultivate some extremely simple spells. It did not have much of an increase in combat power.
Since Hundred Herb Valley had Demonic Soul Grass, then ferocious beasts naturally flocked over too.
Demonic cultivators were naturally not stupid either. With ferocious beasts gathering here, they also laid down an array formation here to lure and kill the ferocious beasts that came to search for Demonic Soul Grass.
Wang Daoyuan did not care about the ferocious beasts. What he wanted was the Demonic Soul Grass.
If this thing could be planted in large quantities, the family could try taming spirit beasts in large numbers in the future.
