"There are three places in Extreme Yin Region that are related to the rooster diagram. One is Chicken Crow Valley, the other is the nearby Chicken Crow Town, and the last one is the Chaoyang Mountains, where the first eleventh grade Demonic Beast King Cyan Radiance Chicken was born. Chicken Crow Valley and Chicken Crow Town don't have any special meaning. It's most likely in the Chaoyang Mountains." On the ordinary seats, an Astral Reaching Realm expert mumbled to himself. The people around him stared at him like a tiger watching its prey.
"What are you guys doing?"
The person came to his senses and promptly shut his mouth. Unfortunately, words spoken were like spilled water, unable to be taken back.
"Hehe, nothing much. Join our group. Otherwise, we'll kill you once we get out."
"That's right. Joining our group is much better than the group of Sea of Soul realm experts. At least you'll have a chance to obtain the secrets of the undying body."
At this moment, those who had studied the history of Extreme Yin Region became highly sought after. Some willingly teamed up with their friends, while others were exposed by those in the know and forced to team up. In any case, the amount of information contained in this map was too great. Only with more people would there be a chance to unravel it.
When the final treasure was sold for one hundred and twenty thousand upper grade spirit stones, the auction came to a successful conclusion, and everyone left one after another.
"I'm really looking forward to it. I wonder how many steps they can unravel?" In the VIP room, Yin Demon Ancestor was leisurely drinking tea. For the first fifty years, he had painstakingly studied day and night, unraveling more than half of the map. Unfortunately, the further he went, the more meaning the map contained. He simply couldn't speculate. Even if he flipped through the history of Extreme Yin Region, he still couldn't find a single clue. Of course, history couldn't be studied just because one wanted to. Some seemingly unimportant details might be the key to unraveling the map.
Outside the auction house …
Murong Qingcheng reminded, "You have to be careful of that Ghost Moon Spiritualist. Soul Sunder Sect has quite a bit of research in the field of souls and strange things. Because of this, the people in the sect are somewhat unscrupulous. From the ordinary outer disciples to the leader of Soul Sunder Sect, none are different."
"I know." Ye Chen faintly nodded. He could faintly feel that Duan Lingyun's soul was very unstable. This kind of instability did not mean that it had collapsed, but because he had cultivated some secret art, causing his soul to become extremely dark and extreme. His appearance was sunny on the outside, but his heart was filled with darkness. True Spirit Continent had many demonic cultivators, but demonic cultivators also had their depths. Duan Lingyun and his Soul Sunder Sect were undoubtedly the deeper ones. Their temperament was influenced by their soul, giving others a feeling that they were nothing to be worried about. However, one should never believe the nonsense that evil would never triumph over good. Although one's temperament was important in cultivation, the Heavenly Dao was unpredictable. People with bright hearts might not necessarily have great accomplishments, and those with dark hearts might not necessarily have great accomplishments. Just like how good people might not necessarily have good retribution, and evil people might not necessarily have evil retribution.
The only thing Ye Chen could do was to firmly believe in his Dao.
The auction continued. The auction continued for the entire morning, and the Demon Sect's Star. The Sect.
After lunch, Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng walked out of the private room and went back to their own rooms.
In the spacious and luxurious guest bedroom.
Ye Chen sat cross-legged on the bed and took out a head-sized Demonic Fiend Stone.
The Demon Evil Stone was like a huge crystallized coal. It felt cold and sharp when held in one's hand. The dark evil power contained in it even froze the water power in the air. Ice crystals fell on the ground, forming a thin layer of frost.
Ye Chen ignored the gloomy coldness of the Demonic Fiend Stone. His glabella swelled up, and his sword intent surged out, guiding a large amount of gloomy baleful qi into his body.
Sizzle!
The dark Baleful Qi was like a leech that had seen blood. After squirming for a while, it followed the meridians that were wrapped in True Essence and entered the Sea of Soul between his eyebrows.
The Soul Sea surged violently, the coldness was wanton, and it was filled with a deathly silence.
"Refine!"
When refining the Blood Evil Stone's baleful qi, Ye Chen didn't have it easy. But now, his sword soul embryo was even more powerful. It even had a will radiance, and its might was second only to Sea of Soul Masters. Therefore, he naturally didn't put the Demonic Fiend Stone, which was twenty percent weaker than the Blood Evil Stone, in his eyes. The ancient longsword above his Sea of Soul trembled, and a frightening sword intent halo spread out, dispersing the coldness and refining the deathly silence. The Demonic Fiend Stone's baleful qi was used as nourishment, gradually strengthening itself.
The Demonic Fiend Stone's baleful qi was unwilling to become prey. It struggled with all its might, destroying Ye Chen's Sea of Soul. At the same time, the huge Demonic Fiend Stone in Ye Chen's hand poured out even more gloomy baleful qi, reinforcing the vanguard and clashing with Ye Chen's sword soul embryo.
Kacha! Kacha!
Patches of gloomy baleful qi were shattered by the sword intent halo, unable to form an effective counterattack against Ye Chen's sword intent.
With the refinement of the gloomy baleful qi, Ye Chen discovered that his sword intent was becoming increasingly condensed. The ancient longsword, which was the sword soul embryo, grew from three fingers long to four fingers long, and was still growing. The will radiance was a silver radiance, seeping out from within the sword soul embryo. It didn't change at all. What it needed wasn't refinement, but comprehension. As for the sword intent halo, it had expanded by a fold. Although it was called a halo, it was actually the remnant sword intent ripples emitted by the sword soul embryo, forming a protective layer around it.
Four fingers long!
Four and a half fingers long!
Five fingers long!
When the sword soul embryo reached five fingers long, it finally stopped growing. It had reached a critical point, and if it continued to grow, it would become a true sword soul.
Cutting off the connection with the Demonic Fiend Stone, Ye Chen opened his eyes.
Half a day and a night had passed outside. From yesterday's afternoon to this morning, the air carried a fresh aura.
Huff!
Slowly letting out a breath of impure qi, Ye Chen looked at the Demonic Fiend Stone.
The coal-like Demonic Fiend Stone had lost most of its color, gradually turning transparent. There was still about twenty percent of the gloomy baleful qi inside. In other words, in half a day and a night, Ye Chen had absorbed eighty percent of the gloomy baleful qi, condensing the sword soul embryo to the critical point. He was just one step away from becoming a sword soul.
Putting away the Demonic Fiend Stone, Ye Chen slightly stretched his body and walked down from the bed.
"The sword soul embryo has reached the critical point. I wonder how powerful it will be."
Locking his eyes on the half-man-tall bonsai in the bedroom, Ye Chen's forehead swelled. A shapeless sword intent shot out, slicing through the interior of the bonsai.
Swoosh!
The huge bonsai withered at a speed visible to the naked eye, eventually lying down in the pot, without a trace of vitality.
A beam of sword intent had killed the life-force of the bonsai.
This was a sword intent that could kill a Clasping Yuan Realm warrior's soul.
Ye Chen felt that it was not that simple, so he walked over to the bonsai.
He reached out his hand and dug out a piece of soil from the pot. The color of the soil had turned yellow, which was a sign of losing organic matter. That beam of sword intent had not only killed the bonsai's life-force, it had also destroyed the nutrients in the soil. It had already started to have an effect on reality.
"Back then, when my sword intent reached fifty percent, I had also killed the life-force of a bonsai. However, that bonsai was only the size of a palm, and it was a delicate species. If I didn't water it for a day, it would fall sick. Moreover, I had only killed the life-force on the leaves, not completely. Right now, this bonsai is half a man tall, and it is a very tenacious species, able to thrive in a place like the Extreme Yin Region. However, once my sword intent was released, all of the life-force was still killed, and even the nutrients in the soil were killed. It was more than ten times stronger than before, or even more than thirty to fifty times stronger than before."
At the beginning, the sword intent was incorporeal. Once it reached the level of incorporeal, it would be able to kill some miniscule things. As the incorporeal deepened, it would be able to kill more and more things. Eventually, it would be able to forcefully affect reality, just like the martial will of a Life and Death King. Under that kind of frightening will, even mountains and rocks would shatter, and a person would be dismembered for no reason.
"Compared to before, the sword intent's might has increased by about thirty percent. If Ghost Moon hadn't comprehended the profound left behind by the predecessors, he would be completely confident in defeating him. However, Soul Sunder Sect is a sixth grade sect, so it's impossible for them to have no profound martial skills. On the contrary, they would have a lot of them. Ghost Moon must have comprehended the profound of the predecessors to increase his strength. I wonder how much of the profound martial skills he has comprehended."
Before comprehending one's own profound martial skill, learning others' profound martial skills was undoubtedly the wisest choice. It could also increase one's own experience. Therefore, Ye Chen didn't have fifty percent certainty against Ghost Moon. If his cultivation base could increase from late Astral Reaching realm to peak late Astral Reaching realm, then he wouldn't need to be afraid.
"Soon. After leaving Blue Mountain Island, with the support of enough upper grade spirit stones, my cultivation base has progressed very quickly. Within three days, I should be able to break through to the peak of late Astral Reaching realm."
After washing his face and rinsing his mouth, Ye Chen opened his door and went to eat breakfast.
At this moment, the door of Murong Qingcheng's room also opened.
Just like Ye Chen, Murong Qingcheng had also been cultivating since yesterday afternoon. She had completely consumed the evil Qi of the three Demonic Evil Stones, and her martial will had finally condensed into a martial soul embryo, which could greatly amplify attack, defense, and speed. Her battle power had increased by more than a little bit.
It could be said that even if Shen Tujue hadn't died, he wouldn't have been Murong Qingcheng's opponent. This was because Murong Qingcheng's Great Sky Demon Art had already reached the thirteenth layer, while Shen Tujue was quite lacking. After all, how many people could cultivate a top rank earth grade art to the thirteenth layer at the Astral Reaching realm? At least in South Rudra Region, they were pitifully few.
After washing her face and rinsing her mouth, Murong Qingcheng didn't have the slightest trace of exhaustion. The hair in front of her forehead was slightly damp. Her eyebrows were lightly swept, and her beautiful eyes sparkled. Her skin was abnormally smooth and white, and her nose was tall and straight. She exuded a holy elegance that was astonishingly seductive. Even Ye Chen couldn't help but cast a sidelong glance.
"Good morning."
Ye Chen suppressed his somewhat restless Qi and blood and greeted her.
"Let's eat breakfast together!"
Murong Qingcheng revealed a smile. As she approached Ye Chen, a fragrant wind blew over. If an ordinary person smelled this fragrance, their bones would go soft. Of course, apart from Ye Chen, there had never been anyone who could walk so close to her. This morning, a tiny bud was born in the hearts of the two without any reason.
Walking down the stairs side by side, the two entered a private room.
While eating breakfast, they studied the map together.
