The death of the Fengsha Island Lord's son would surely cause a huge commotion, wouldn't it?
Zhong Yue suddenly stopped, he turned back and thought, The Fengsha Island Lord's son is dead, the Feng Gu City Lord's daughter is dead, these two monster Qi Practitioners would definitely not let this go easily. The Black Mountain's secret realm's seal prevents the experts from entering, but the Rebirth level Qi Practitioners can still enter. If the Fengsha Island Lord and the Feng Gu City Lord sent their Rebirth level Qi Practitioners here, they would most likely be able to find out who killed them from the battle traces.
A blazing sun emerged behind his head, burning fiercely and engulfing the corpses of 'Senior Martial Brother Lu', Zhu Xian 'er and the two Fengsha Island Qi Practitioners. After a few moments, the corpses were burnt to ashes.
I still need to erase the battle traces.
Zhong Yue then erased the battle traces of Zhu Xian 'er,' Senior Martial Brother Lu 'and the two Qi Practitioners, he was slightly satisfied, I'm getting better and better at this … Eh, these are … the spiritual pearls forged by Zhu Xian' er! What a surprise, there are actually five of them, corresponding to the five elements!
He cremated Zhu Xian 'er's body and discovered five spirit orbs. They were the Gold Spirit Orb, Wood Spirit Orb, Water Spirit Orb, Fire Spirit Orb, and Earth Spirit Orb.
These five spiritual pearls were two times bigger than the Earth Spiritual Pearl he obtained from the Bi insect race's body, they contained more Qi of the five elements.
Zhu Xian 'er forged five spiritual pearls, is she planning to cultivate the Wu Xing Wheel?
Zhong Yue thought for a moment and kept the five spiritual pearls. After the level of Rebirth was the level of Awakening, the Yuan Shen of the Awakening level was known as the Combat Yuan Shen, the first of which was the Wu Xing Wheel.
The Yuan Shen of the Rebirth level Qi Practitioners could also fight, but it was mainly used to control soul weapons, Sword Qi and the like. Direct combat was just the icing on the cake.
But the Yuan Shen of the Awakening level Qi Practitioners were really strong, this was the effect of opening the five wheels!
Zhong Yue had already witnessed the prowess of the Qi Practitioners that had opened the Combat Yuan Shen's Wu Xing Wheel. Kong Ban's follower, Lian Shan Giant Rhinoceros, was an expert that had opened the Wu Xing Wheel. Compared to the Rebirth level Qi Practitioners, the difference in their prowess was like the difference between the clouds and the mud!
This Zhu Xian 'er had forged five spiritual pearls, it was probably prepared for the Awakening level.
In fact, Zhong Yue had heard in Swords Gate that many Rebirth Qi Practitioners would cultivate the five elemental Sword Qi in order to open the Wu Xing Wheel in the future.
Who knows, I might be able to find some treasures ….
He searched carefully and not long after, he had cleaned up the battlefield and found two more spirit pearls. One was the Gold Spirit Pearl and the other was the Water Spirit Pearl. These should be the spirit pearls that Senior Martial Brother Lu and the other two Qi Practitioners obtained after killing the two insect beasts.
Other than that, there, Zhu's Zhu 'Zhu and Senior Shen, there and the soul weapons of Zhu's Zhu't.
In the battle with Zhong Yue, they died too quickly, they didn't even have the time to cast out their soul weapons before they were killed.
When the monster Qi Practitioners forged their soul weapons, they would usually forge the mystic gold and mystic iron into a certain part of their body. For example, Senior Martial Brother Lu forged his own antlers into his soul weapons, which could be used as array formations, soul weapons, and could even be enhanced by the totem pillars.
As for the other two Qi Practitioners, one of them forged his own tail while the other one cultivated from a bird into a monster and forged his own feather into a steel feather.
As these soul weapons were part of the monster's mortal body, other than the Gold Qi, there was also the essence of the monster beasts, which could be used to forge the Beast Sword Qi. However, Zhong Yue already had the beast god inner core, the essence of the monster beasts in the soul weapons was not that valuable to him. However, the Gold Qi in the soul weapons was quite valuable.
"With these more than ten soul weapons and a Golden Spirit Pearl, I can raise my Golden Sword Qi to another level! There are also two Water Spirit Pearls, one Earth Spirit Pearl, and one Fire Spirit Pearl, all of them can be used to forge the Sword Qi. Cultivating the five elemental Sword Qi can also lay the foundation for opening the Wu Xing Wheel! Huh? Why isn't this token burned away?
Zhong Yue exclaimed in surprise and found a token from Zhu Xian 'er's ashes. The token was engraved with totem carvings that were very different from the ones he had seen before. Instead, it looked more like the totem carvings of the insect race. The totem carvings were of a strange-looking mother insect surrounded by the five venomous creatures.
The mother insect had appendages, tentacles, pincers, tail hooks, cicada wings, arms, and a skull that looked like a triangular branding iron!
Zhong Yue took a look at the token and shivered. He could feel the eerie aura emanating from the token.
"Xin Huo, take a look at this totem carvings, are these the totem carvings of the insect race?"
Xin Huo flew out from his psyche ocean and landed on the token. He scrutinized it carefully and said, "It is indeed the totem carvings of the insect race, and it belongs to the insect race's godly insect. This token must be the one that the big guy that crawled out from the Black Mountain secret realm gave to Zhu Xian 'er. Looking at the totem carvings on the token, it should be a key. Look at the five venomous totem carvings, there are only half of the totem carvings. It should be placed at the bottom of the token so that the five venomous totem carvings can connect with the totem carvings on the door and open the door! "
Zhong Yue scrutinized it carefully and was sure enough, he asked curiously, "Key? What door is Zhu Xian 'er trying to open with this key? "
He kept the key away and picked up the little poison banner. He surged his psyche into the banner and poisonous gas gushed out, turning into all kinds of formless venomous insects that danced in the air. He then retracted his psyche and the venomous insects turned back into poisonous gas and returned to the banner.
It's just an ordinary soul weapon, but it's still worth studying. Other than close combat techniques, my skills are only Sword Qi type skills and defensive skills. I don't have any strange skills like this.
Zhong Yue thought for a while, the little banner's attacking style was also very unique. The venomous insects were formless and hard to defend against. Even the Xuan Wu Gold Spirit Shield couldn't defend against the poisonous gas and the Sword Qi couldn't kill the venomous insects.
There were many things that could be learned from the Sword Qi.
The Sword Qi had its strengths in terms of offensive power, but its weaknesses in terms of versatility. For example, the Sword Qi couldn't defend against the little banner's attacks. The only thing that could defend against it was the moonlight that Zhong Yue cultivated.
After a moment, Zhong Yue had no choice but to give up. The reason why the little banner's attacks were so versatile was because of the insect race's unique totem carvings and skills. Without a cultivation technique, it would be extremely difficult to fully comprehend the totem carvings in the banner. Spending too much time and effort on it would only be a waste!
This little banner belonged to Zhu Xian 'er, if I were to use it to fight against an enemy, the Feng Gu City Lord would be able to trace this clue and find out that Zhu Xian' er was killed by me.
Zhe zhe zhe — —
Zhong Yue's psyche moved and surges of Sword Qi flew out, slicing the little banner into pieces and leaving no trace behind!
The 【Monster God Ming King Art】 is important, but so are the five elemental spirit pearls in the insect race's body. If I can collect more spirit pearls, it will be easier for me to cultivate the Wu Xing Wheel in the future!
Zhong Yue walked forward and absorbed the Earth Qi in the Earth Spirit Pearl to cultivate the Earth Sword Qi. He thought to himself, Also, the Five Elemental Sword Qi will be stronger, and I will be able to protect myself in this Black Mountain secret realm. For now, I should focus on collecting the Five Elemental Spirit Pearls!
He snuck into the woods and not long later, he heard a rustling sound as if silkworms were gnawing on the leaves of the mulberry trees. Zhong Yue held his breath and followed the sound. Then, he saw a skeleton over a hundred feet tall standing in the middle of the woods. There were still flesh and blood on the skeleton and countless silver ants were gnawing on the flesh.
It was a monster, a winged tiger, also known as a flying tiger. It was a rare species among the monster race, it was ferocious and domineering, its roars could shake the heavens.
Zhong Yue frowned and pondered for a moment. Suddenly, he shuddered, he had seen this winged tiger before. On the Ba Shui Bridge, this winged tiger had attained the profundity of the 【Monster God Ming King Art】 at about the same time as King Teng and the others. However, it hid its strength and didn't stand out first. Instead, it waited until Yu Xuanji and the other monster had passed the stage before it stood out, lest it attracted the attention of the other experts!
This winged tiger is definitely an expert in the level of Rebirth. How could it be eaten by these silver ants? These silver ants must be one of the most terrifying existences among the insect race!
Just as he thought of this, one after another, the silver ants flew up and spread out their thin cicada wings. They buzzed and flew into the woods. Moments later, hundreds of silver ants flew out from the woods with their tiny claws holding onto a round meatball.
That meatball was also a type of ant, but it was many times bigger than the ordinary silver ants. It was as tall as a human and as long as three to five humans. The ordinary silver ants were covered with thick and heavy metals and carved with insect totem carvings. But this giant ant was covered with golden armor and the totem carvings were more complicated.
The silver ants carried the giant ant over and placed it on top of the winged tiger's head. The giant ant lazily opened its sharp teeth and bit through the winged tiger's huge skull. It then dived into the winged tiger's head and sucked the brain juice.
Zhong Yue silently backed away. If it were only a dozen silver ants, he could still deal with them. But there were thousands of silver ants crawling on the winged tiger's body. If he were to rush out, he would probably end up like the winged tiger!
There are wounds of different sizes on the winged tiger's body. Some are as thin as cicada wings and some are caused by the sharp teeth of the silver ants. The thin wounds should be caused by the wings of the silver ants. If I were to provoke these flying ants, it would be as if there were over two thousand flying swords surrounding me. Even the Xuan Wu Gold Spirit Shield would not be able to hold them off!
In the forest, he also encountered some golden silkworms. They had four wings and could fly at an incredible speed. They also moved in groups. There were also some locusts. These insects lived in groups, they would pounce on their prey and devour their prey. Zhong Yue alone would not be able to deal with them!
Fortunately, the swarm of ants, silkworms, and locusts were only a small portion of the insects. He still encountered other lone insects and obtained a few more spirit pearls. In this period of time, Zhong Yue had also absorbed the Gold Qi in the soul weapons. The Earth Sword Qi was also starting to take shape, turning into a yellow hexagonal Sword Qi.
As the number of insects that died in his hands increased, the number of spirit pearls he collected also increased. At the same time, there was a monster Qi Practitioner that arrived at the Monster God Ming King's residence. He was tall and slender, wearing a green robe. He was King Teng. He raised his head and looked at the palace in front of him.
Not long later, another few monster Qi Practitioners arrived. They were also the strongest monster Qi Practitioners that entered this place.
These experts stood outside of the palace, looking at the path leading into the palace, but none of them took a step into the palace.
"Hahaha, it seems like I'm the first one!" Suddenly, a figure dashed out from the forest and rushed into the palace.
Chi — —
Just as he stepped onto the stairs leading into the palace, his body involuntarily reverted back to his original form, turning into a huge beast. Then, the huge beast was like a skin bag filled with water, pus and blood gushed out like a waterfall. In an instant, the pus and blood splattered all over the ground, leaving behind only a beast skin.
"What a strong seal …."
