"Pfft!"
Just as the golden-armored Empyrean God formed from the surging yellow mist walked out of the valley, a mouthful of blood sprayed out from Patriarch Xuanyuan's mouth.
This mouthful of blood was shockingly black and had an incomparable fishy stench. It sprayed onto the ground, melting the mountain rocks and emitting sizzling black smoke.
The moment this mouthful of blood was spat out, the layer of black aura enveloping Patriarch Xuanyuan's face completely disappeared. However, Patriarch Xuanyuan's expression seemed as if it had suddenly aged ten years as his entire body radiated with an aged and decaying aura.
"Ancestor Xuanyuan!"
However, at this moment, a sharp, thunderous whistle rolled over from the distance. The person who made that sound seemed to be searching for him, but at that moment, there was no sound coming from Ancestor Xuanyuan. It was difficult for him to determine his position at that moment, so that was why he made such a sound.
"Wei Suo?"
Forefather Xuanyuan was dazed for a moment before raising both his hands, sending a surge of yellow energy surging from his surroundings to form a pillar that dozens of people could hold together. He then sent it crashing upwards into the air.
Previous Chapter Next Chapter "Boom!"
As if the sky had been pierced, a loud sonic boom spread out like a tidal wave.
Half an incense stick of time later, with a flash of white light, the silhouettes of Wei Suo and the others appeared on the hill opposite Ancestor Xuanyuan.
"You are... "Yin Hua?"
The moment he sensed the aura of the beautiful flower beside Wei Suo, the face of Ancestor Xuanyuan paled and the aura on his body surged. He looked like he was about to take action at any moment.
"Ancestor, in the Little Heaven Realm, she is my ally."
When he saw Ancestor Xuanyuan like this, Wei Suo immediately spoke up to stop him, and when he sensed the old and declining aura on his body, Wei Suo's expression changed drastically as he asked, "Ancestor Xuanyuan, what happened?"
"Allies?" Ancestor Xuanyuan's expression changed several times, but he didn't reply. He glanced at Wei Suo with a dark expression and said, "You should tell me what happened between you and Ye Ling."
"Ye Ling?" After several flashes of white light, Wei Suo and the others arrived not far away from Ancestor Xuanyuan. "Were you injured by Ye Linglong?" Wei Suo's eyes flickered as he asked.
"Yin Hua, your Yin Corpse Sect's Ten Desolate Dark Divine Arrows are so powerful!" Grandmaster Xuanyuan still didn't respond to Wei Suo's words. Instead, he glanced at Yin Lihua and gave a heavy, cold snort, full of killing intent.
"Ten Desolate Divine Arrow? Ancestor Xuanyuan, what did you say? Ye Ling was actually able to create the Ten Desolate Divine Arrow, and he even used it on you? " Lihua's face immediately turned white.
"If it wasn't for such a powerful magic tool, even if I were to die this time, he would definitely not have been able to leave this place alive." Ancestor Xuanyuan said coldly.
"The Ten Desolate Netherworld Spirit Arrow can only be forged by a cultivator at the second level of the Aurous Core stage who consumes the aurous core's power along with the complete soul of a great Aurous Core stage cultivator." The beautiful face of Hua Li paled as she looked at Wei Suo, "It must be because the demon umbrella escaped and landed in his hands." It is fortunate that he did not bring the Ten Desolate Divine Arrows to kill us. Otherwise, we would have died without a doubt. "
"Even the demon umbrella died in your hands?" What great skills you have! We didn't kill you with the Ten Desolate Divine Arrows, but rather, your lives and the lives of others? " Old Ancestor Xuanyuan sneered coldly.
"Ancestor, that's not what she meant." Wei Suo's eyebrows twitched. "What happened? Let's talk about it later."
"You are indeed quite capable. To be able to challenge Ye Ling at the fourth level of the Reward Stage makes him think that you are a big threat." "I feel that I'm your backer, so I'll have to get rid of your backer first." Forefather Xuanyuan was also the most powerful person in the coastal cities of the Cloud Spirit Continent. He was usually calm and wily, but now that the Sea Immortal Sect was about to be destroyed by his generation, he had lost some sense of propriety.
A cold light flashed in Wei Suo's eyes, but he did not get angry. He said calmly, "The reason why I challenged Ye Ling to a fight was only because he went too far and wanted to leave behind Ji Ya's test array. Furthermore, he activated the formation, causing us to be in danger. Not only that, he even took the treasure to escape and cut off our retreat. This enmity between him and me is definitely irreconcilable. Did you fall into his trap? Is there any way to save her? If there is, I will do my best to help. "
"Ye Ling is indeed good at scheming. He is indeed the number three figure of the Yin Corpse Sect." Grandmaster Xuanyuan took a deep breath and seemed to have calmed down as well. However, his killing intent grew even stronger. But he's not bad at all. My Jindan (Jindan) has been consumed a lot, and I only have about a year of my lifespan left. "One year from now, as long as I die, he can find an excuse to kill the Shanghai Immortal Sect. At that time, the Immortal Sea Sect won't even have a single Aurous Core stage cultivator to use as a deterrent."
He continued, "Last time you asked me why I didn't find some spiritual medicines to increase my lifespan. I did not tell you the reason, but now I tell you, because for cultivators above the second level of the Aurous Core stage, the nourishing effect of the aurous core on the body has long surpassed that of the majority of the spiritual medicines in the world. Cultivating above the second level of the Aurous Core Stage is equivalent to one's entire physical body. All day long, it would be contained in elixirs, so other than Heaven Tier elixirs that can surpass the aurous core, it must also be pills that can increase lifespan for it to be effective against cultivators like me. No matter how many spirit stones one had, it was impossible to buy such a pill. "Now, if you really want to help me, help me capture that beautiful flower."
"Capture me?" Yin Lihua frowned, "Ancestor Xuanyuan, are you trying to use me as a bargaining chip? It's no use. The Corpse Sect's fortunes have been flourishing for the past one to two hundred years. Among my next generation of Yin Corpse Sect disciples, there are three people who have a high chance of reaching the Aurous Core stage in ten years. Furthermore, if you capture me, you can give Ye Ling an excuse to start a war. He and I are at loggerheads, and Wei Suo knows it very well. He will definitely not be afraid to throw a rat's nest just because of me in the Sea Immortal Sect. He will only be even more happy. "
"You think I'm too stupid." Grandmaster Xuanyuan sneered and said, "I was just thinking about this old bone. If I were to self-destruct in the Yin Corpse Sect, it should at least be able to cause some damage to the Yin Corpse Sect." If I am suppressed by one less Aurous Core stage cultivator, the success rate of my self-destruct Golden Core would greatly increase. "
"You actually want to go up to the Yin Corpse Sect and self-destruct your golden core?" As Ancestor Xuanyuan said this, Yin Hua was so frightened that she almost jumped up.
"I've already told her my plan, so it's even more impossible for me to let her leave." Ancestor Xuan looked coldly at Wei Suo, "How is it, Wei Suo? If you have any relationship with her, then you should help me capture her right now. This way, she won't suffer any harm when I go to the Yin Corpse Sect."
Wei Suo didn't reply, but his eyes flickered, as if he was weighing the pros and cons within.
"What, you're not willing to help me with this?" I, Patriarch Xuanyuan, am not unkind to you. This calamity that might have ended the legacy of the Sea Immortal Sect was caused by you. " "Originally, I wanted to do everything I could to help you break through to the Aurous Core stage as soon as possible. However, since you don't want to make a move on this level, can you at least stop me when I make a move?"
"Let's see if this item is useful to you first." Wei Suo appeared to have finally considered this and did not reply to Ancestor Xuanyuan. Instead, he extended his hand and took out an item from his storage pouch before handing it over to Ancestor Xuanyuan.
"This is … "This is the Ancient Desolation Fruit?!" Grandmaster Xuanyuan's expression changed at first, but soon after, a layer of indescribable light appeared in his eyes, as if he had forgotten about something. He stretched out his hand and sucked the object that Wei Suo handed over into his palm.
At this moment, it was the orange pearl, the Ancient Desolation Fruit, that Wei Suo had taken out.
If it were a normal cultivator, they probably wouldn't have taken it out to give it to Ancestor Xuanyuan. It was even harder to obtain than a Purple Fox Flower. Not to mention that it could increase the success rate of Core Formation and other effects, just the fact that it could greatly increase one's longevity was something that no cultivator, regardless of rank, would find difficult.
This was similar to how a low-level Spirit Sea Realm cultivator who had enough Spirit Stones to break into the Circulatory Cycle Realm would not give away a pill that could help him reach the Circulatory Cycle Realm.
However, in this short period of time, Wei Suo had clearly thought about it. If Ancestor Xuanyuan were to die together with the Yin Corpse Sect, he might not be able to escape the Yin Corpse Sect's next hunt. Furthermore, Ancestor Xuanyuan was indeed good to him. Moreover, the Heavenly Dragon Stars' body tempering technique that he obtained before should have the effect of increasing his lifespan when he cultivates and refines his body. It would just consume some time to cultivate. As far as Wei Suo was concerned, if this Ancient Desolation Holy Fruit was able to help Ancestor Xuanyuan, then this price would still be worth it.
"Wei Suo, you actually have a Ancient Desolation Holy Fruit in your hands!" With a sweep of his Spiritual Sense, he could feel that this was a genuine Ancient Desolation Fruit. Even the voice of Ancestor Xuanyuan began to tremble slightly.
"I only know that this Ancient Desolation Sacred Fruit is not inferior to Heaven Grade medicinal pills." Wei Suo glanced at the visibly excited ancestor Xuanyuan and felt surprisingly at ease. He couldn't help but smile and say, "From the looks of it, this item should be useful to you."
"Very good, I didn't expect you to have such a trump card. This time, I'm going to miscalculate!" Patriarch Xuanyuan took a deep breath and a smile appeared on his face, "Eight hundred years ago, a cultivator from the southern part of the Cloud Spirit Continent coincidentally swallowed an Ancient Desolation Holy Fruit. That cultivator's aptitude was extremely poor and he was unable to break through to the Heavenly Axis Realm in his entire life, but he lived for seventy to eighty years longer than an ordinary cultivator. If you say something like that, how can it be useless? "
