The Great Wild God - Chapter 251
Chapter 251 Black Turtle
Chen Xun sat cross-legged and cultivated the Nine Qi Yang Refining Technique. An incomparably agile Kui Long phantom circled behind him.
In the dungeon in the secret room, the dense spiritual energy was transforming into more than a hundred strands of cloudy energy that flowed directly into his body through the Hundred Bones Spirit Aperture and into the Profound Ice Fire Lake formed by the Spirit Sea through the Spirit Veins.
Chen Xun opened his eyes. Seeing that half of the incense stick burning in the incense burner hadn’t been burned, he couldn’t help but be shocked.
At the late stage of the Reincarnation Realm, the number of spiritual veins he had refined had reached the extreme of twelve, and the number of Hundred Bones Spirit Apertures he had opened had also reached more than 120. However, at the same time, the Profound Ice Fire Lake that he had transformed into in the Spirit Sea had also nearly doubled. Chen Xun had originally thought that the time it took him to refine the Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi would be prolonged, but he hadn’t expected it to be reduced by half.
This actually meant that his efficiency in refining the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was four times higher than before.
Ordinary Reincarnation Realm cultivators could only increase their qi refining efficiency by reaching nine or twelve extremes and opening more than a hundred spirit apertures.
As for the Spirit Aperture, it had both the ability to store spiritual energy and spiritual essence. Whether it was the speed at which Chen Xun refined the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, or the boundlessness of the spiritual energy within his body, it was actually not much weaker than an early Heavenly Yuan Realm cultivator. It was far from something an ordinary late Reincarnation Realm cultivator could compare to.
*************************
Chen Xun refined the divine soul fate essence contained in the two Soul Essence Battle Souls, completely consolidating his cultivation at the late Reincarnation Realm. Only then did he push open the iron door of the dungeon and officially emerge from seclusion.
In the secret room outside the dungeon, one would often sit in front of a huge stone platform and deduce a formation.
Chen Xun was secretly curious. The Spiritual Qi leaked out from the secret chamber and dungeon was extremely stable. This meant that Chang Zhen had already laid down a new sealing formation in the Dragon Creek Lake during his half month of seclusion cultivation. Why was he sitting in front of the stone platform to deduce the formation?
Chang Zhen Xin’s soul was immersed in the deduction of the formation, and Chen Xun didn’t even notice when he walked out of the dungeon. Chen Xun could feel that Chang Zhen’s aura was getting even older and weaker. He took a few scarlet copper plates from the stone platform that were used to deduce formations. The engravings on the copper plates were similar to spirit gathering restrictions, but they weren’t complete yet, but they were even more complicated.
This old monster Chang Zhen was actually deducing an even more complex Spirit Gathering restriction.
In the secret room, apart from Jiang Bingyun who was cultivating in seclusion, Old Kui was nowhere to be seen.
The Star Iron Demon was still standing there upright, and Old Kui was nowhere to be seen. It meant that he didn’t know where his primordial spirit had gone.
At this time, Zuo Qingmu walked down from the secret passage. Chen Xun saw that he was exhausted. He knew that during this period of secluded cultivation, the magical creatures gathered north of Python Fang Ridge would not stop attacking the Dragon Creek Lake. Moreover, the scale of the gathering would increase. The pressure on the people guarding the Dragon Creek Lake was extremely great.
During this period of time, Zuo Qingmu had to assist Chang Zhen in repairing. Setting up a new formation would surely consume a lot of energy. Chen Xun asked, “Where is Old Kui?”
Zuo Qingmu said, “When Mr. Chang set up the sealing array, there was a faint vibration coming from the depths of his spiritual veins. Mr. Kui has been sneaking in to take a look for ten days …”
The Void Origin Secret Palace was hidden in a spiritual acupoint that was nearly twenty kilometers deep beneath the cold lake.
Long Qiu Lake was one of the main spiritual veins of Python Fang Ridge, and its depths were countless times more complicated than the crypt of the Frost Lake. If there were any abnormalities in the depths of the spirit veins, or if there were ferocious beasts lurking in the depths of the spirit veins, it would definitely be a catastrophe.
“There’s a black turtle in the depths of the spirit vein.” Chang Zhen put down the Scarlet Essence Copper Plate in his hand. Seeing the worry on Chen Xun and Zuo Qingmu’s faces, he said, “When Old Kui sealed this spirit vein, this black turtle wasn’t even the size of his tail finger, so he accidentally let it drill into the depths of the spirit vein. Thousands of years had passed, and no one had expected that this black turtle had actually been hibernating in the depths of its spirit veins for such a long time. “When I was setting up the Profound Yin Heavy Water Formation, this Profound Turtle actually attacked the formation’s eyes. I can’t use Old Kui to dive into my spirit veins. No matter what, I have to subdue this monster first …”
Chen Xun didn’t know how deep Old Kui’s primordial spirit had sneaked into his spirit veins. He couldn’t sense Old Kui’s existence, and he was worried that Old Kui might not be able to subdue the profound turtle that had cultivated in the depths of his spirit veins for ten thousand years.
“This black turtle has been hiding in the depths of its spiritual veins for nearly ten thousand years. Although its Origin Core will be cultivated to perfection, its intelligence is extremely weak and it hasn’t cultivated any divine abilities. Apart from the fact that its hard-armored old skin is comparable to the Star Secret Iron and its strength is boundless, it doesn’t pose much of a threat,” Chang Zhen and Kui Long’s Primordivine Spirit said. He was able to communicate through spiritual will from thousands of miles away, so he naturally knew the situation in the depths of his spiritual veins. “If you throw down the Soul Breaking Orb and a Soul Locking Seal, Old Kui will exterminate this black turtle …”
Chen Xun handed the Soul Shattering Pearl and the Soul Locking Seal to Chang Zhen. Although there was only one opening in the Dragon Creek Lake, there were many branches down to the deepest part of the lake.
He could not sense Old Kui’s existence, so the Soul Breaking Pearl and the Soul Locking Seal could only be handed over to him by Chang Zhen.
The Mysterious Turtle had not come into contact with humans or beasts since it had cultivated its dormant spirit veins. Its intelligence must be extremely weak. Without cultivating a divine ability, its strength would not be too exaggerated. Cultivating in the sect was a completely different concept.
For example, Chen Xun had cultivated twelve spirit veins and advanced to the late Reincarnation Realm. His cultivation realm wasn’t weak, but without the Thunder Sound Sword Technique, the Kui Dragon Spirit Armor, the Demon Body Puppet, the Cloud Star Armor, the Thunder Meteorite Sword, the Green Flame Lotus Arrow, the Spirit Gathering Mountain River Formation, and many other spells and treasures, his strength might not be much stronger than a True Yang Realm disciple.
However, the Mysterious Turtle no longer had any divine abilities. No matter how weak its intelligence was, it had been cultivating in the depths of its spiritual veins for tens of thousands of years. The strength of its demon body and its divine power were boundless. It still made Chen Xun worry that Old Kui still had the strength to surrender to this Mysterious Turtle.
No matter how worried he was, he couldn’t help. With Chang Zhen in charge of the secret room, Chen Xun didn’t bother him to keep in touch with Old Kui at any time.
He didn’t expect that there would be magical creatures surrounding the mountain outside the Dragon Flood Pool, but there was actually a Spirit Meridian Profound Turtle inside. He could only feel bitter in his heart, but he didn’t have time to stay in the secret room and indulge in worries. He first walked out of the secret room with Zuo Qingmu at the bottom of the pond.
**************************
Walking out of the secret room, Chen Xun saw that the sky above Long Qiu Peak was covered with a water curtain. Countless profound talismans suddenly appeared on the water curtain, as if clouds were circulating.
A defensive formation that could completely seal off one water and one mountain was also called a sealing formation.
The Mystic Yin Heavy Water Formation was capable of covering mountains around a radius of nearly twenty kilometers, ensuring that the Spiritual Qi gushing out from the Spiritual Veins would not dissipate. However, the wider the coverage of the formation, the weaker its defensive power would be.
The Profound Yin Heavy Water Formation only covered a limited area like the Dragon Flood Pool and the Dragon Flood Peak. It ensured that 200 demonic beasts would rush up together and not tear apart the sealing barrier.
Inside the sealing array, spiritual energy was unprecedentedly abundant. However, when Chen Xun saw the faint figure of a demon creature at the distant mountain top, he frowned deeply and asked Tie Xintong, who was walking over, “How many demons have gathered in the Northern Mountain now?”
“Nearly a thousand,” Tie Xintong said. “Elder Su and the others are all on the mountain …”
They are not passive defenses.
A passive defense, no matter how strong the mountain defensive array was, would be broken.
The Profound Yin Heavy Water Formation could withstand the attacks of one or two hundred magical creatures at the same time, but could the Profound Yin Heavy Water Formation withstand the attacks of over a thousand magical creatures swarming up from all directions?
Demons could even self-destruct blood pills.
The Blood Pill was inferior to the Origin Pill, but the power of the Sacrificial Explosion was definitely not inferior to several Cyan Flame Lotus Arrows firing at the same time …
Seeing the signs of self-destructing blood pills, one could still avoid them from afar, but how could the sealing barrier avoid the devil’s blood pill explosion?
Chen Xun and Zuo Qingmu followed Tie Xintong to the top of Long Qiu Peak.
Before Su Fanglong and the ten Reincarnation Realm cultivators from the Azure Water School rushed over to reinforce him, Old Kui used unparalleled divine power to open two stone caves on the left and right peaks that directly connected to the bottom of the pond, ensuring that boundless Spiritual Qi could be channeled directly from the bottom of the pond to the left and right Dragon Creek Peaks.
The two four-pillar Mountain and River Arrays that were deployed here were all brought here by Su Fang Long and the others from the White Wolf River. Controlling the elevation of the Dragon Flood Pool would ensure that hundreds of magical creatures could not directly attack the Profound Yin Heavy Water Array without being distracted.
Apart from that, there were also two refined copper chariots that were deployed into the valley entrance of the Dragon Creek Lake. They could be mobilized at any time to restrain the magical creatures of the Northern Mountain and prevent them from advancing towards the White Wolf River on a large scale in the south.
Seeing that Su Qingfeng, whom he hadn’t seen for many years, was also on Long Qiu Peak at this moment, Chen Xun was slightly shocked. No wonder Jiang Bingyun was still hiding in the secret room cultivating. It turned out that she was wearing a mask and didn’t dare to meet Su Qingfeng.
“It’s been a long time, Master Thirteen.” Chen Xun walked over and bowed to Su Qingfeng. “Master Thirteen and Elder Su are helping each other at a time when the Northern Mountain is in danger. Chen Xun will definitely not forget the kindness of the Azure Water School in the future …”
In order to keep Su Tang stationed in the White Wolf River, Su Qingfeng and Su Fanglong rushed over to support Long Qiu Tan. At that time, they knew that Chen Xun was cultivating in seclusion.
Chen Xun was still in the mood to cultivate in seclusion when his eyebrows were on fire. It was certain that his strength would be able to make a great breakthrough in the short term.
Su Qingfeng was secretly shocked when he saw Chen Xun standing in front of him, his aura actually merging with the mountain.
Su Fanglong saw Chen Xun two years ago in Mengshan. He returned to the Azure Water School and said that Chen Xun had reached the middle stage of the Reincarnation Realm. At that time, everyone felt that Chen Xun’s cultivation had progressed very quickly. They didn’t expect that only two years had passed and Chen Xun had broken through again. With such cultivation speed, the Azure Water School could only compare to Su Tang and Wu Yang.
As for Su Tang and Wu Yang, the Azure Water College did not know how much cultivation resources they had invested in.
Over the years, Su Qingfeng had been cultivating in seclusion and had already reached the peak of the middle stage of the Reincarnation Realm.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t refine new spiritual veins and advance to the late stage of the Reincarnation Realm, but if he couldn’t refine nine spiritual veins and advance to the Heavenly Yuan Realm, then what was the point of not breaking through all of a sudden?
Su Qingfeng believed that as an inner sect disciple of the Divine Night Sect, Chen Xun must be aware of the importance of the spirit veins. Moreover, the fact that he was able to directly reach the late Reincarnation Realm without any scruples, meant that the number of spirit veins he had refined was definitely above nine.
Thinking of this, Su Qingfeng’s mind was also in a trance. Who would have thought that only fourteen to fifteen years had passed since he first met this child in the Northern Mountain?
Qianlan and Qing Xuan held onto their spirit swords and leapt up from the back mountain of Dragon Creek Peak. Ah Qing followed behind them, and the two-tailed firefox was grabbing Ah Qing’s ears and riding on its back …
Seeing Chen Xun leave seclusion with Su Qingfeng, Su Fanglong, and the others talking at the top of the mountain, Qianlan and Qing Xuan walked over. There were traces of blood on their clothes. Just now, they had gone out with Ah Qing to force away two demonic creatures that were close to the Dragon Creek Lake.
Seeing Chen Xun, Qing Xuan smiled faintly and said with a charming expression, “I thought you were going to come out of seclusion in a few more days …”
Just as Chen Xun was about to say something to Qing Xuan and Qianlan, a violent tremor suddenly came from underground, almost causing everyone to lose their footing on the mountain top.
At this moment, Su Fanglong and Su Qingfeng’s expressions changed in shock.
They had all experienced the Battle of Jade Pillar Peak, and knew how big the commotion was when Jade Pillar Peak collapsed. They did not know what had happened at the bottom of Dragon Creek Lake, and the commotion at this moment was definitely no less than when Jade Pillar Peak collapsed.
Chen Xun couldn’t care less about the shock in his heart. He watched as hundreds of thousands of kilograms and millions of kilograms of giant peaks fell down the mountain. His heart skipped a beat. There were thousands of mortal relatives living in the valleys on both sides of the Dragon Creek Lake. No one knew how many people would die if this boulder was smashed randomly.
Without hesitation, he leapt out. Lei Yun and the other swords flew out of the sword sheath almost at the same time, flying towards the hundreds of falling rocks …
