The Great Wild God - Chapter 415
Chapter 415 Giant Ao
Within the spiritual sea, five Origin Pills that contained multicolored light revolved around the Azure Lotus Origin Spirit Technique.
Chen Xun hadn’t expected that the medicinal power of a Dragon Marrow Golden Liquid Pill would actually cause him to condense five Origin Pills within the Spiritual Sea, which was more than enough for him to cultivate in seclusion in the Spiritual Heaven Cave for a hundred years.
Chen Xun walked out of the Purple Night Thunder Tower and discovered that the Void Origin Pearl was empty. He didn’t know how long he had been in seclusion this time.
Probably sensing Chen Xun coming out of seclusion, Gu Xinyue, who was refining pills outside the cliff, walked in and asked with a smile, “Sect Master has come out of seclusion?”
Seeing that Gu Xinyue had only recovered to the middle stage of the Origin Core Realm, Chen Xun was rather surprised. He asked, “A Dragon Marrow Golden Liquid Pill is worth a hundred years of bitter cultivation. How did Elder Gu recover to the middle stage of the Origin Core Realm?”
Hearing Chen Xun’s question, Gu Xinyue was also stunned. Then, she restrained her shock and a smile appeared on Zhuang Duan’s slightly plump and beautiful face. She said,
“I didn’t expect the Sect Master’s cultivation talent to be stronger than the True Dragon Body. He didn’t even need to use the Dragon Marrow Golden Liquid Pill to strengthen his physique. Xinyue’s cultivation talent was far inferior to Sect Master’s. Nearly half of the medicinal power of the Dragon Marrow Golden Liquid Pill was used to purify her marrow and cut her meridians. The remaining medicinal power was almost equal to 50 years of bitter cultivation. “To be able to recover to the mid-Origin Core Realm in such a short period of time, Xinyue is not dissatisfied.”
Chen Xun rubbed his head and smiled. He didn’t expect that he would accidentally tell Gu Xinyue the secret of his Profound Origin Saint Physique.
The Dragon Marrow Golden Liquid Pill was a rare Heaven Ranked treasure pill in Cloud Continent. Its most important function was not to increase one’s cultivation, but to increase one’s cultivation aptitude.
The weaker one’s aptitude was, the stronger the effect of consuming the Dragon Marrow Golden Liquid Pill would be. The more talented a person was, the less effective the Dragon Marrow Golden Liquid Pill would be.
Chen Xun’s body had been modified by the Profound Origin Sacred Blood, and it was purer than the True Dragon Physique. After consuming the Dragon Marrow Golden Liquid Pill, the medicinal power would naturally be completely converted into cultivation.
Gu Xinyue had already reached the middle Dharma Aspect Stage, and her aptitude was rare in the world. However, after consuming the Dragon Marrow Golden Liquid Pill, almost half of its medicinal power was used to improve her cultivation aptitude.
The stronger her aptitude, the greater her potential for advancing to the Heavenly Human Realm. Even though she had only recovered to the mid-Origin Core Realm, Gu Xinyue was not dissatisfied at all.
In fact, the Qianyuan Ruyi Pill that she was refining with the Dragon Blood and Ancient Desolate Toad Origin Pill mixed with a variety of spiritual medicines was specifically used to strengthen her meridians and increase her cultivation.
Chen Xun had been in seclusion in the Void Origin Pearl for almost a year. The vicinity of the cliff was designated as a forbidden area for Sea Pavilion. Normally, apart from Gu Xinyue, even Chang Xi and Su Tang would not come here so easily for fear of disturbing Chen Xun’s seclusion cultivation.
Chen Xun walked to the bamboo pavilion beside the pond and chatted with Gu Xinyue. Only then did he know that he had been in seclusion for the longest time, and that Du Liangyong had already cultivated the Origin Pill again.
In addition, Su Tang, Jiang Bingyun, Lei Wanhe, Su Lingyin, and Gu Yuanchang had already cultivated to the peak of the Heavenly Origin Realm. After consuming the Dragon Marrow Golden Liquid Pill, they only took four to seven months to cultivate the Origin Pill.
Gu Chengzhuo, Tie Xintong, Gu Jianfeng, and Rong Ying’s aptitudes were slightly weaker, and their cultivation was also slightly weaker. A large portion of the medicinal power of the Dragon Marrow Golden Liquid Pill had been deposited in their bodies, and they needed to persevere in their cultivation in the future in order to unleash the potential of the Dragon Bone Golden Liquid Pill to improve their aptitudes.
Zhao Hongling and Chen Chang had only been cultivating for a short period of time, so it was even more difficult to absorb all the medicinal power of the Dragon Marrow Golden Liquid Pill.
“Three months ago, the cultivators of God-controller Mansion and Cloud Continent sects withdrew from Ji Yue and returned to Cloud Continent. Shao Xi Kang officially succeeded Ji Yue as the head of the country and designated the Immortal Ao Islands as Xian Ao Prefecture. However, the choice of the prefecture’s marquis will have to wait for you to come out of seclusion.” Gu Xinyue said.
“How about this?” Chen Xun pondered for a moment when he heard Gu Xinyue say this. “Where are Liang Yong and the others?”
“The two thousand li sea area around Xianao Island is designated as the territory of Xianao Prefecture. Du Liangyong and the others have been exploring the nearby sea area for the past few days and found a giant Ao deep in the southeast corner,” Gu Xinyue said. “This giant claw has been cultivating in the nearby sea area for thousands of years, but there is no evil deed that can cause waves. Du Liangyong and the others want to subdue this claw as the island protecting spirit beast of the Immortal Claw Island, but they won’t be able to stop it for a while …”
The Immortal Ao Islands were almost eight to nine hundred kilometers long, and the Shaoxi clan could be said to have made a big investment this time by subjecting the outer two thousand kilometers of the sea to the rule of the Immortal Ao Prefecture.
Although the Azure Scaled Race did not set foot in the sea west of Ji Yue, without the approval of the Azure Scaled Race, the territory of Xianao Prefecture would not be able to extend from the island reefs into the depths of the Falling Star Sea.
For thousands of years, fishermen and seafarers had occasionally discovered the figure of the giant claw in the nearby sea area.
Zhao Hongling and the others renamed the nearby islands and reefs Xianao Island.
As long as Chang Xi, Beixuan Armor, and black tea were present, it wouldn’t be difficult to sneak into the deep sea to kill this giant claw, but it wouldn’t be easy to subdue it.
************************
The pill furnace was guarded by Rong Ying. The Immortal Ao Island also had Beixuan Armor, Shewu Xin, Gu Yuanchang, Zhao Hongling, and Chen Chang stayed here to guard it. Chen Xunxian had nothing to do, so he flew with Gu Xinyue to the southeastern sea area.
After flying for seven or eight hundred kilometers, he saw the Scarlet Sea Golden Scaled Ship stop on a lonely reef.
The reef was only seven or eight kilometers long, covered in low bushes and traces of fishermen resting their feet.
Chang Xi, Su Tang, Jiang Bingyun, Su Lingyin, Lei Wanhe, Du Liangyong, and the others were leisurely standing on the deck. The Crimson Sea circled high up in the sky, preventing fishermen and seafarers from accidentally intruding here. They had no intention of taking action.
More than a dozen miles away, waves and wind pillars swept out from the deep sea, indicating that the deep sea was battling intensely.
Everyone was extremely excited to see Chen Xun flying out of seclusion.
“The water here is more than 1000 feet deep. We dived into the deep sea and consumed too much mana. We relied on Cheng Zhuo, Jianfeng, and Xintong to dive into the seabed to help the black tea girl and fight against the old claw.” Du Liangyong introduced the situation of the underwater fights.
After diving into the deep sea, Xuanmen Dao Cultivators had to first withstand the shocking water pressure. Whether it was spirit armor or protective divine abilities, they consumed a great deal of magic power. On the other hand, Fiendgod Body Refining martial cultivators were more suitable for underwater fierce battles with fish beasts.
Chen Xun extended his divine sense to the depths of a thousand feet. He saw that the seabed had already been beaten muddleheaded. The reefs and trenches on the seabed had cracked a lot. It could be seen that this was not the first time Du Liangyong and the others had come to fight fiercely in order to subdue this giant claw.
The body of the demonic turtle was about thirty to forty zhang tall. Apart from the black armor, its neck was covered with dense black scales. It roared like a dragon and spat out black water. In an instant, it could turn into a hundred zhang wide black ice.
Although Ju Ao was extremely powerful, there was nothing he could do with the black tea. Gu Chengzhuo, Gu Jianfeng, and Tie Xintong mainly attacked the Giant Ao from the side, leaving spider web-like cracks on its hard armor.
Probably sensing another extremely powerful figure approaching, the Giant Ao roared and was about to flee towards the periphery.
At this moment, Chang Xi slapped out the Spring Breeze Rain Sword and transformed into an ivy-like spirit flood dragon that entered the sea. It was like a demon binding rope. In the blink of an eye, it wrapped the giant claw tightly and dragged it onto the surface of the sea.
“I’m tired of playing for so long. It seems like this Evil Ao won’t surrender anymore. It chopped soup for the night.” Chang Xi threw the giant claw onto the solitary reef, and the Spring Breeze Transforming Rain Sword returned to its original form, about to slash towards the claw head.
This giant claw had cultivated on the seabed for thousands of years, and it had some intelligence. When it sensed Chang Xi’s killing intent, its neck and feet immediately shrank into the giant shell, lying motionlessly in the bushes.
With Chang Xi’s sword strike, the sword light cut open a hole in the hard armor. The giant claw was very powerful, so it obediently poked its head out and hung in the mud, not daring to move a single bit.
Chen Xun took out a Soul Lock Seal from his bosom and tossed it to Du Liangyong, telling him to go forward and subdue the giant claw.
Jiang Bingyun’s beautiful eyes swept across Chen Xun, clearly remembering the unpleasant past.
**************************
The Giant Ao’s nest was right below the lonely reef.
Everyone dived into the water and discovered that not far from the lonely reef, there was a natural deep-sea cave that was about three to four hundred feet deep. It was covered with a thick layer of rock, but the entrance was only open to giant claws.
Sealing the entrance of the cave and draining all the water in the cave, everyone discovered that three spirit veins had gathered in the cave. No wonder the Giant Ao would hide in this cave for thousands of years and refuse to move its nest even after several fierce battles with the crowd.
The Guitou Reef would not be able to be used for more than a hundred years, and the Immortal Ao Island only used the Spirit Gathering Array to gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
The Shaoxi Clan and the Azure Scaled Clan gave the sea area within two thousand kilometers of Xianao Island to Xianao Prefecture. This place was only seven to eight hundred kilometers away from Xianao Island.
Although Lonely Reef was only five to six hundred feet square, it was more than enough to build a pavilion for three to four hundred core disciples of Sea Pavilion to live and cultivate in.
When three spiritual veins converged, it would be able to set up an Intermediate Sealing Grade Mountain Protection Array.
When Chen Xun told Du Liangyong about the selection of the marquis of Xianao Prefecture, he naturally hoped that Du Liangyong would be able to take on the responsibility directly.
Du Liangyong pondered for a while and said, “Yuan Chang is more suitable for this task than me.”
Seeing that Du Liangyong had no intention of secular power, Chen Xun did not force himself. Apart from Du Liangyong, Gu Yuanchang was indeed a suitable candidate.
Although Gu Xinyue and Gu Yuanchang had left the Crimson Star Palace, the Gu Clan was the first great clan to take root on Ji Yue Island. There were hundreds of thousands of clansmen left on Ji Yue Island.
If Immortal Ao Island wanted to develop, it needed more islanders from the Gu Clan.
Sea Pavilion’s foothold here was mainly because he valued the terrain of the spirit lake on the Guitou Reef and had no intention of separating the Immortal Ao Islands from Ji Yue. The establishment of the Gu Clan as a Marquis in the Immortal Ao also allowed the Shaoxi Clan to cooperate with them without worries.
Chen Xun looked at Gu Xinyue and asked, “Elder Gu, what do you think?”
Gu Xinyue sighed softly and nodded, “If Yuan Chang has no objections, then it’s fine how to arrange it.”
Although Gu Xinyue was wholeheartedly focused on the Dao and didn’t want to have any relationship with the Shaoxi Clan, she still had to consider the survival of the hundreds of thousands of disciples of the Gu Clan in Ji Yue.
Chen Xun looked at Su Tang and Jiang Bingyun and said, “I’ll be back in Mountain Parasol in two days. What do you say?”
Jiang Bingyun naturally wished to return to Mountain Parasol with Chen Xun, but this time, she, Su Tang, Lei Wanhe, and Su Lingyin had cultivated Yuan Dan in such a short amount of time. It was a bit too shocking. The best way was for them to cultivate in the desolate Xianao Island for a few more years.
They consumed the Dragon Marrow Golden Liquid Pill. Although they had cultivated the Origin Pill, they hadn’t completely refined the medicinal power of the Dragon Marrow Golden Liquid Pill. They also needed to cultivate for several years before they could advance to the next level.
In addition, the foundations of Immortal Ao Island were not stable, so some of the tyrannical sea beasts in the nearby sea area might not be willing to withdraw. For the time being, they needed someone to stay behind to help Du Liangyong and Gu Yuanchang.
Chang Xi lazily said, “In the bitter cold of Mountain Parasol, there is nothing to think about.”
Jiang Bingyun blushed slightly and said, “We should stay here for a few years.”
