After dealing with the 'Purple-Bearded Dragon King Ginseng', Yi Tian found an empty space at the exit of the formation eye and sat down to wait quietly. After about two hours, Yi Tian's expression suddenly changed. His Divine Telekinesis could roughly detect the area within a radius of a thousand miles. At this moment, he realized that Wan Gang and Yan Qiu were rushing over here. Shi Jinming was the only one missing.
He thought to himself, 'This happened so suddenly, something must have happened.' With that thought, he leaped into the air and rushed toward the two of them.
After a few breaths, he saw two streaks of spiritual light flying toward him. Yi Tian stabilized himself in the air and shouted in a deep voice, "Friends, this way."
The two streaks of light also found the right direction and flew straight over, stopping 30 feet away from him. Wan Gang and Yan Qiu looked anxious and tired. After seeing each other, Wan Gang anxiously shouted, "Brother Yi, something bad has happened."
"Tell me slowly, don't be anxious." Yi Tian comforted him, "Where's Wu Jue? Could it be that the three of you couldn't handle him?"
Yan Qiu's expression darkened and he hurriedly replied, "Originally, with the three of us against him, Wu Jue definitely wouldn't be able to escape. However, we didn't expect the Netherworld Child to appear halfway."
Yi Tian's heart sank. He seemed to be able to imagine what would happen next. His face instantly turned pale, and he hated himself for not eliminating Wu Jue at that time. Now that something like this had happened, he really didn't know what to do next.
Yan Qiu continued, "The three of us surrounded Wu Jue and beat him until he couldn't fight back. At the same time, I also took one of his arms and took the storage ring on his finger."
After saying that, Yan Qiu flipped his hand and a jade ring appeared on his palm. Yan Qiu gently pushed the jade ring over through the air. After Yi Tian's Divine Telekinesis swept past it, he realized that the mark on the jade ring had not been erased. This meant that the two of them had not opened it privately.
After taking the jade ring, Yi Tian put it into his pocket and asked, "In that case, Wu Jue should be seriously injured, right?"
Wan Gang nodded and replied, "His body was scattered by us, leaving only his head to execute a secret technique to escape. In order to avoid future troubles, the three of us chased after him closely. Who would have thought that Wu Jue only had a head left? His speed wasn't slow at all. We chased after him for more than an hour before we finally surrounded him. Unfortunately, the Netherworld Child suddenly jumped out and joined the battle. "
Body Integration Stage cultivators had already mastered the Body Integration Stage technique. Even if their entire body was destroyed except for their Yuanying, they could still recover to their original state. The worst that could happen was that they would have to expend a bit more spiritual power. At most, their cultivation base would drop by a few stages. For example, the reason why Wu Jue didn't immediately return to his original body was most likely because he wanted to conserve the spiritual energy in his body and temporarily shake off his pursuers. However, it just so happened that the Netherworld Boy had appeared during this period of time. There was bound to be a new variable.
Yi Tian thought for a moment and asked, "Was Wu Jue rescued by him?"
"Actually, that's not the case. Who would have thought that the Netherworld Boy would be the first to make a move. After splitting Wu Jue's head open, he directly swallowed his Nascent Soul," Yan Qiu said with a satisfied expression on his face. Presumably, the scene at that time must have been very frightening, causing the two brothers to feel a lingering fear.
Yi Tian gently clapped his hands and said with a relaxed expression, "So that's how it is. In that case, Wu Jue will definitely not be able to escape his fate. After the Netherworld Boy swallowed his Yuanying, his cultivation base must have greatly increased, right? "
Wan Gang said, "His cultivation base was originally at the peak of the late Body Integration Stage, and after swallowing Wu Jue's Yuanying, his cultivation base has already reached the edge of the Grand Ascension Stage. In other words, he should be a quasi Grand Ascension Stage cultivator."
It was clear that what they were worried about was very different from what he was thinking. He was worried that after killing Wu Jue, he would form karma with his original body. If the Netherworld Boy acted on his behalf and killed Wu Jue, that would be for the best.
This would give the Netherworld Emperor a headache for quite a while.
However, after the Netherworld Boy swallowed Wu Jue's Yuanying, his cultivation base had greatly increased, which was a big problem that could not be ignored. Fortunately, he knew their shortcomings, so this matter was very beneficial to him.
After thinking about it, Yi Tian frowned and asked, "Why is Shi Jinming here? Could it be that he has committed some crime?"
Yan Qiu and Wan Gang looked at each other and sighed. Yan Qiu said, "After the Netherworld Boy fought with us, he captured Fellow Daoist Shi in a few moves. Fortunately, he didn't deliberately make things difficult for him and only asked us to pass on a message. "
"What does he want?" Yi Tian's expression relaxed. Since the Netherworld Boy didn't make things difficult for Shi Jinming, it meant that he still had some misgivings. In that case, there was still room for negotiation. At the very least, Shi Jinming's life was not in danger.
Yan Qiu said in a deep voice, "He wants a drop of First Yuan True Water and wants us to work together to deal with the Innate Spiritual Plant True Spirit."
"Hmph, he still wants to raise the price?" Yi Tian said with a displeased expression, "I didn't expect the Netherworld Boy to learn how to blackmail others. But don't worry, Fellow Daoist Shi's life is not in danger for the time being. "
Wan Gang said, "He told us to come find you first, and later he will pay you a visit in person."
Hearing this, Yi Tian's mouth twitched slightly and said, "In that case, you two come with me to the center of the formation and wait for a while."
After saying that, he turned around and flew towards the center of the formation. Behind him, Yan Qiu and Wan Gang looked at each other helplessly and then used their escape techniques to follow.
After the three returned to the top of the tree, they rested for a while. After waiting for a while, Yi Tian's spiritual sense detected a fluctuation of spiritual pressure coming from a thousand miles away.
"You two wait here for a while, I will go and meet him." Yi Tian said and flew into the air. He turned around and looked into the distance after a purple light flashed in his eyes. After three breaths, a light flew from the horizon and stopped 300 feet away from him.
The Netherworld Boy was holding the unconscious Shi Jinming in his hand and looking at him with his face turned sideways. After the two sides stared at each other for more than ten breaths, the Netherworld Boy couldn't hold it in anymore and said, "I think the two of them have already told you my conditions?"
"I did, but isn't Fellow Daoist asking for a bit too much?" The corner of Yi Tian's mouth twitched slightly. "What I hate the most is being threatened."
The Netherworld Boy said with a serious face, "I don't often threaten others, and those who can be threatened by me have enough foundation. Brother Yi, don't you think so?"
"Then should I feel honored?" Yi Tian said unhappily, "Don't forget your current situation and identity."
"Hmph, I know my own situation." The Netherworld Boy said disdainfully, "As for my identity, it will soon change. I believe you should know better than me about this."
"Is it so important to get rid of Ning Kuang's shackles?" Yi Tian teased.
Who knew that the Netherworld Boy's face would reveal a look of indignation. "What do you know? There is a technique in the Cultivation Method that Ning Kuang's original body cultivates that allows him to devour others to increase his own cultivation. The devoured person's soul will be imprisoned and will never be reincarnated."
"Speaking of which, this kind of cultivation method is also harmful. Those who cultivate it will not have a good ending sooner or later," Yi Tian said with a serious face.
"Actually, I know what the Enchantress of Azure Luo is thinking. She probably deliberately contacted you when she went to the Infernal Court last time," the Netherworld Boy said lightly.
He was slightly surprised. He did not expect the Netherworld Boy to be able to guess the Enchantress of Azure Luo's purpose. He could even infer that she had contacted him before.
However, his face showed calmness. Yi Tian looked at the Netherworld Boy and said, "It seems that your purpose is not much different from the Enchantress of Azure Luo's."
"Nonsense, Ning Kuang originally asked me to keep an eye on the Enchantress of Azure Luo. He had long noticed that the Enchantress of Azure Luo had ulterior motives," the Netherworld Boy said.
"But you have the same plan as her. Moreover, it seems that your side is progressing more smoothly," Yi Tian said.
"Originally, my cooperation with Wu Jue was flawless. Unfortunately, a variable like you appeared midway." The Netherworld Boy said angrily, "I did not expect you to advance so quickly and even defeat Wu Jue."
"There are too many unexpected things in the world. I also did not expect you to swallow Wu Jue's Yuanying." Yi Tian waved his hand and said, "Originally, I had the chance to kill him, but I did not because I had doubts. I did not expect that it would help you. "
"Maybe this is the will of heaven." The Netherworld Boy laughed and said, "Although I have not completely refined the spiritual power in Wu Jue's Yuanying, as long as I can fully refine it, my cultivation can be promoted to the early stage of the dacheng stage. I will not be much worse than you."
Yi Tian shook his head after listening and said, "At least a little bit worse. You are just a clone of Ning Kuang. If you really promote to the dacheng stage, I'm afraid Ning Kuang will be restless for the first time. I think Ning Kuang must have left a backup plan on you. This is what you are most worried about, right? "
Speaking of this, the Netherworld Boy's face inadvertently flashed a trace of haze, then he turned around and said seriously, "Then how are you going to reply to my request? Shi Jinming is in my hands. As long as I use a little force, his life will be in danger."
Facing the Netherworld Boy's aggressiveness, Yi Tian did not respond immediately. Instead, after scanning Shi Jinming with his Divine Thought, he found that Shi Jinming was just restrained. As the Netherworld Boy said, there was a seal on his forehead. As long as he thought about it, he could directly take Shi Jinming's life.
However, from Yi Tian's point of view, the Netherworld Boy was only doing this to increase his bargaining chip. He probably knew that Yi Tian would definitely help Shi Jinming. That was why he did this. Otherwise, with his strength, he would have already cut him into eight pieces, or drained his spiritual power for his own use.
Thinking of this, Yi Tian smiled gently and said, "Since you have made a request, you should show some sincerity."
The Netherworld Boy still had a displeased expression as he said, "Isn't I showing enough sincerity by leaving Shi Jinming intact? What else do you want?"
"I can understand what you're thinking. Alright, in order to show my sincerity, I'll give you a drop of First Yuan True Water." After saying this, Yi Tian took out a jade bottle and put one of the two remaining drops of First Yuan True Water into the bottle. Then he gently pushed the jade bottle toward the Netherworld Boy.
The Netherworld Boy naturally saw this. Although there was a trace of doubt on his face, he had checked with his Divine Thought that this drop of First Yuan True Water was genuine.
He reached out and took the jade bottle into his hand. Then he gently opened the lid and scanned it with his Divine Thought. After three breaths of time, the frown on his forehead slowly faded away. After putting the lid back into his storage ring, Netherworld Boy asked, "You've already fulfilled half of your promise, but I still can't give you Shi Jinming. After all, I still need you to help me deal with the Innate Spirit Plant Monster at the eye of the formation."
Hearing this, Yi Tian shook his head and said, "I won't do it."
"Why? Do you want to go back on your word? Don't you care about Shi Jinming's life?" The Netherworld Boy said angrily.
"Of course, I hope to save Shi Jinming. After all, with him here, the Infernal Court will not become more chaotic," Yi Tian said.
"Then what do you mean when you say you won't do it?" The Netherworld Boy asked, puzzled.
"I believe you know about my background," Yi Tian said, "I can't destroy this formation just based on this point alone. If we capture the Innate Spirit Plant at the eye of the formation, the Stone Soldier Eight Formations will definitely become chaotic without his suppression."
"Then what does this have to do with me?" The Netherworld Boy said indifferently.
"Since I promised to save Shi Jinming, I won't go back," Yi Tian said as he took out a jade brocade box from his storage ring. He took out a piece of ginseng root and put it into another storage bag. Then, he said, "The Purple-Bearded Dragon King Ginseng at the center of the formation is a 100,000-year-old treasure of heaven and earth. If I give it to you, you won't be able to enjoy it."
"Then what do you mean?" The Netherworld Boy asked.
Yi Tian put away the brocade box and then gently held the ginseng root in front of him and said, "This ginseng root was originally cut off from the Purple-Bearded Dragon King Ginseng. I can see that it's full of spirit. Although it's only three inches long, it's enough for you to use in your current situation."
The Netherworld Boy's expression changed slightly. He used his Divine Sense to scan the ginseng root a few times. After a while, his expression became awkward and he said, "How can I use it if it's only this?"
"Don't underestimate this section of ginseng roots," Yi Tian replied with a smile, "The main body of the 'Purple-Bearded Dragon King Ginseng' is only about a foot long. The spirit aura contained within this section of ginseng roots is enough to allow you to instantly recover to your peak state. In addition to its innate characteristics, as long as you use it properly, you can refine it into a new body.
"That's still not enough for me. What can a mere three inches do?" The Netherworld Boy said.
"You don't necessarily need the whole spirit plant to refine a body," Yi Tian laughed and said, "You just need to use this ginseng root as a spirit guide and combine it with other materials."
The Netherworld Boy's face darkened when he heard that. He looked conflicted.
