The Great Wild God - Chapter 491
Chapter 491 Secret Of Primordial Liquid
The bottle Chen Xun took out was eight inches tall, had a slender neck, and had a lotus-shaped base. Its shape was extremely exquisite. It was made of elemental copper, and the formation restrictions were all refined into the bottle’s lotus-shaped base. There were only a few decorated cloud water patterns on the surface. A small bottle of clean water would weigh nearly a hundred kilograms.
Such a clean bottle magical artifact seemed to be at the level of a top-grade earth artifact, but not to mention Tao Jinghong, even Song Xuanyi and Luo Yuze felt that it was very sparse and ordinary.
They all felt that it would not be surprising if Chen Xun took out three to five top-grade Heavenly Artifact magic treasures with him. Why did he pay so much attention to this bottle and even instruct them to keep it a secret in such a solemn manner?
However, seeing that Tao Shi’s expression changed from indifference to shock after receiving the Primeval Bronze Purified Bottle, Luo Yuze and Song Xuanyi realized that this small Purified Bottle Magic Tool was far from as simple as they had imagined.
“This clean bottle can actually store spiritual energy like an Origin Gathering Stone?” Tao Jinghong asked in shock.
Luo Yuze couldn’t sit still and had the urge to snatch the bottle from Tao shi.
Luo Yuze had heard of such a rare treasure as the Origin Gathering Stone, and he was extremely envious of Chen Xun’s possession of such a rare treasure.
Elemental Gathering Stones were extremely precious treasures in the Upper Realm, but they could not be found. If a sect could have one or two of them, they would have to be provided with a mountain-suppressing treasure.
However, the bottle in Chen Xun’s hand was actually capable of storing spiritual energy like an Origin Gathering Stone. This was simply too shocking.
Of course, Chen Xun wouldn’t ask them to keep a secret just because he had one or two magical artifacts. It was because Mountain Parasol had mastered this method of refining clean bottles!
A refining method!
If Mountain Parasol only had three or five Spirit Gathering Arrays back then, it wouldn’t have affected anything at all. However, what Mountain Parasol grasped was the method of refining Spirit Gathering Arrays, which fundamentally reversed the situation in the Northwest Region and had an extremely far-reaching impact on the situation in Cloud Continent.
If it weren’t for the Xuandu Sect, Dragon Gate Sect would have built thousands of chariots that had been refined into the Spirit Gathering Restriction over the years, and he wouldn’t have had the confidence to take the initiative to enter the nesting Darkness Ridge.
Half of the credit for Mountain Parasol’s rise rested with the Spirit Gathering Array’s refining methods.
Over the years, Mountain Parasol could be said to have brought the value of the Spirit Gathering Array into full play. At the very least, he had exchanged it for more than a thousand defensive and sealing arrays for Cang Lan.
Now that Chen Xun had taken out a magical artifact forging technique that Cloud Continent had never seen before, and that could even be a secret legacy of an ancient sect in the Upper Realm, how many shocking secrets did Cloud Continent have?
Luo Yuze dared to guarantee that as long as it was possible, cultivators above the Origin Core Realm of Cloud Continent would want a single piece of treasure like the Origin Gathering Stone.
When fighting an enemy, using the spirit energy stored in the Primordial Gathering Stone to replenish one’s True Essence mana was much more effective than using a medicinal pill.
Although the Spirit Gathering Array could gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, there was a limit to how much it could store and gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. An expert with a cultivation above the Origin Core Realm could not rely on the Spirit Gathering Array to replenish their True Essence magic power.
Due to the limitations of the Spirit Gathering Array, it was very difficult for the Sealing Grade Array to work together with the Spirit Gathering Array.
Only Primordial Gathering Stones could break through the limitations of the existing Spirit Gathering Array to the fullest extent possible.
“Spirit Lake Array?” Song Xuanyi vaguely remembered the description of the Spiritual Lake Array in the ancient books. He didn’t expect that Mountain Parasol would actually grasp the secret refining method of the Spiritual Lake Array. When this news spread, even the Upper Realm Sect would probably be shaken, right?
Chen Xun smiled and took out another bottle of Yuan Gathering Bottle from his bag of holding and handed it to Tao Jinghong.
Chen Xun took out two identical bottles, undoubtedly admitting that Mountain Parasol had mastered the secret refining method of the Spiritual Lake Array.
Luo Yuze was puzzled in his heart. Mountain Parasol had mastered the secret refining method of the Spiritual Lake Array. Even if Chen Xun said it, they wouldn’t suspect Chen Xun of lying about it. Why would they need to take out two clean bottles to verify it?
Luo Yuze didn’t know that Chen Xun’s new bottle contained the Yuan liquid that Du Liangyong had retrieved from the Immortal Ao Island.
Tao Jinghong swept his divine sense into the bottle and exclaimed, “No wonder you want to take down the Ghost Head Reef. So this is your intention!”
Hearing Tao shi’s words, Song Xuanyi instantly understood, “Is this bottle filled with the Profound Frost Primordial Liquid inside the Ghost Head Reef?”
Chen Xun laughed heartily and said, “Since the Origin Gathering Aquarius has appeared, the secrets of Immortal Ao Island will naturally be lost.”
Although Immortal Ao Island was alone overseas, there was a large amount of secrets about the Mysterious Frost Primordial Liquid and Corpse Fiend inside, so it was impossible for them to conceal them from Dragon Gate Sect’s disciples.
Looking at Tao shi and Song Xuanyi’s expressions, they knew what was going on with the Guitou Reef on Immortal Ao Island. However, without the Spiritual Lake formation, even with Tao Jinghong’s cultivation, he would not be able to obtain the Profound Frost Primordial Liquid that the Guitou Reef had gathered for tens of thousands of years.
Chen Xun thought to himself, Perhaps this was the reason why the Dragon Gate Sect didn’t reveal the secret of the Guitou Reef these past few years.
No matter what, if Mountain Parasol were to refine a batch of Origin Gathering Bottles in the future, the others would be linked to the Ghost Head Reef. It was impossible for him to continue concealing this secret.
Only then did Luo Yuze understand that the Primordial Liquid beneath the Ghost Head Reef was mixed with a large amount of Corpse Fiend, and could not be used by cultivators at all. However, even if a small amount of Primordial Liquid was still mixed with the Corpse Fiend, it could be refined. The remaining Primordial Liquid in the Primordial Liquid was the pure Primordial Liquid formed by condensing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi a hundred or Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand.
For experts with cultivation above the Origin Core Realm, using the Spirit Gathering Array to replenish their True Essence magic power was extremely slow.
Even if a Dharma Aspect Realm expert could directly communicate with the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi and absorb the Heaven Earth Spirit Qi at a speed equivalent to that of a peak Spirit Gathering Array.
As for the elemental liquid, it was a heaven and earth spiritual energy that had been concentrated a hundred times or a thousand times. As long as there was enough elemental liquid, Dharma Realm, and Heavenly Human Realm experts to fight against the enemy, they did not need to hold back much and could display their strongest offensive power at any time!
The efficiency of cultivating directly with Essence Liquid would be several times, or even tens of times, higher than absorbing spiritual energy from spiritual veins.
The Origin Gathering Bottle and the Immortal Ao Island Origin Liquid would completely change the structure of the Cloud Continent Sect. Their value was not even below the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm, where grandmist Origin Breath could be conceived.
In addition, there will be a day when the Yuan liquid stored in the Immortal Ao Island is used up, but if the Yuan Gathering Bottle also has the ability to condense spiritual energy …
Only then did Luo Yuze understand why Chen Xun solemnly asked them to keep this matter strictly confidential.
Song Xuanyi thought of this crucial question and asked, “Can an Origin Gathering Bottle condense ordinary spiritual energy into an Origin Liquid?”
Chen Xun pointed at his head and said, “I don’t have this ability at the moment. I only have limited comprehension of the Dao Inheritance that I obtained from Mountain Parasol. I only have the basic spirit pool array formations. If I want to comprehend a complete spirit pool array, it might take another three to five hundred years …”
At this moment, Chen Xun lied.
Together with Zuo Qingmu and the others, it took him ten years to deduce the basic formation of the Spiritual Lake Array. However, as long as he had enough time, he should be able to deduce the Spiritual Lake Array thoroughly as he further comprehended the Profound Evolution Array.
Chen Xun’s perception of formations was extremely strong. Apart from his bloodline merging into the Profound Origin Sacred Blood, the main reason was the Profound Derivation Technique.
As the general outline of the Yi clan’s artifact forging, the Profound Evolution Technique involved very few specific formations, but it covered all of the calculation and derivation rules Chen Xun knew about.
This was the greatest secret and value of the Mysterious Evolution Art. As long as one grasped the laws of deduction and evolution, it would be very easy to create new formations, and the restrictions of formations that seemed to be hidden from the sect would also be easy to break.
The Purple Night Profound Bomb Formation was also a technique that Zuo Qingmu had used for several years. It was also a new sealing level formation that was created by referring to the restrictions within the Purple Night Thunder Tower and combining the Profound Bomb Formation.
However, this was something that absolutely could not be leaked.
Once the news leaked out, the Yi Clan’s betrayal of the Emperor would soon find clues and come to the door.
Even facing Tao Jinghong, Chen Xun could only say that the Spiritual Lake Formation was a restriction contained in the Mountain Parasol Dao, not something he had deduced himself.
Chen Xun wasn’t cautious enough in the past, but he couldn’t be any more cautious after knowing the secret of the Yi Clan’s Young Lord.
Within Mountain Parasol, apart from Chen Xun, only Zuo Qingmu, Hu Taiyan, Su Shousi, Zhou Yang, and Du Liangyong truly grasped the calculation and derivation laws of formations.
Luo Yuze looked at Tao Jinghong and couldn’t help but be shocked. He asked, “It is said that there are some sects in the Heavenly Jun Realm that possess the Spiritual Lake Array passed down from ancient times, but they also don’t have the ability to refine it.”
“If the Upper Realm Sect doesn’t have a grasp on the refining method of the Spiritual Lake Array, and Origin Gathering Stones aren’t something that can be found everywhere, then how can these Upper Realm Sects obtain Origin Liquid?” Song Xuanyi asked curiously.
“I don’t know much about the details. It’s useless to look at me.” Tao Jinghong spread out his hands and smiled.
Luo Yuze and Song Xuanyi looked at Chen Xun.
Chen Xun explained, “If the elemental liquid condensed by the Spiritual Lake Grand Formation is not so violent, then you can directly enter the Spiritual Lake Grand Formation to cultivate in seclusion.” Apart from that, ordinary Primordial Pills that were soaked in Primordial Liquid for hundreds of years would become Primordial Beads that contained Primordial Liquid and could be carried around. Underneath the Ghost Head Reef, there were water eyes that sucked in a large number of nearby demonic beast corpses. There were also quite a few Origin Core Formations involved. I only got thirty to fifty Frost Yuan Pearls and Corpse Yuan Pearls on my last trip to the Star Sea … ”
Chen Xun didn’t have any Frost Origin Pearls left in his hand, so he took out a Corpse Origin Pearl that was temporarily useless and gave it to Tao Jinghong and the others to examine.
“What a powerful Corpse Essence baleful aura!” When Song Xuanyi reached out to touch the Corpse Essence Pearl, he was shocked by the fiendish essence inside. He felt that as long as Chen Xun crushed the Corpse Essence Pearl, within a thousand feet radius, even cultivators below the Origin Core Realm wouldn’t be able to escape the fiendish corpse’s attack. This was simply an extremely terrifying large-scale killing weapon, even harder to defend against than the Cyan Flame Lotus Arrow.
Luckily, no sect didn’t appreciate being flattered and directly invaded Mountain Parasol’s territory these past few years.
Otherwise, if Mountain Parasol fought to the death, who knew how many people would be killed or injured?
“What do you plan to do when you share such a secret with the Dragon Gate Sect?” Tao Jinghong asked calmly.
“I would like to invite Dragon Gate Sect and the Shaoxi clan to guard Xianao Island. The three clans will split the Essence from Xianao Island equally. Mountain Parasol won’t take a single drop,” Chen Xun said. “Taoshi also knows that once the Essence Gathering Bottle comes out, the secrets of Xianao Island will definitely not be guarded, and Mountain Parasol won’t be able to allocate too many people to guard Xianao Island …”
Behind the scenes of the Shaoxi Clan was the Azure Scaled Demon Clan. If the Dragon Gate Sect wanted to defend the Immortal Ao Island together with the Shaoxi Clan, it was actually going to abandon the principle of “human demons not standing apart” that had been practiced for thousands of years.
Hearing this, Luo Yuze sucked in a breath of cold air. The secret he knew today was going to fundamentally change the Dragon Gate Sect!
“Does the Shaoxi clan know the secret of Immortal Ao Island?” Tao Jinghong asked.
“No,” Chen Xun shook his head and said, “If it weren’t for the worry about the demonic tribulation, I wouldn’t even have planned on letting the Spiritual Lake Array come out. Mountain Parasol’s foundation is still too shallow right now, so we need to discuss everything with Tao shi first …”
Luo Yuze knew that Chen Xun was telling the truth. Chen Xun had Yuan Gathering Stones in his hand. If he were to refine two or three pieces of Yuan Gathering Copper for use by Mountain Parasol’s leaders, it would be very difficult for the outside world to guess the secret of Mountain Parasol’s grasping the spirit pool formation. However, if he wanted to refine them in large quantities, it would be impossible for him to keep this secret.
It was not an easy task to keep a secret or not, and to monopolize it.
Dozens of years ago, if Mountain Parasol hadn’t taken the initiative to spread the Spirit Gathering Formation’s refining technique, Mountain Parasol would have been annihilated by Mansion of Marquis Martial long ago, and the other sects would only be able to watch the show with their sleeves crossed.
At this moment, Mountain Parasol’s strength was strong, but his foundation was still very weak. At the very least, he did not have a secret technique that was strong enough to monopolize the Spiritual Lake Array.
Chen Xun knew that it would be extremely difficult for the Dragon Gate Sect to abandon the principle of non-separation of humans and demons that had been practiced for thousands of years and join hands with the Shaoxi Clan and the Azure Scaled Demon Clan behind the scenes openly. However, as long as they didn’t persuade the Dragon Gate Sect to shake its roots and had sufficient benefits, they could discuss anything.
The Dragon Gate Sect was guarding the Southeast Domain, just in case the demon race invaded the shore, but they didn’t have the intention to kill them all, so there was room for relaxation.
Once the Origin Gathering Aquarius appeared, it would be difficult to keep the secrets of the Immortal Ao Island. As for the Immortal Ao Island, it was suspended overseas, and Mountain Parasol could not monopolize the interests of the Immortal Ao Island.
First, the Shaoxi clan would not approve.
How could Immortal Ao Island be considered a subordinate county of Ji Yue Country? If the Shaoxi clan could tolerate Sea Pavilion’s presence there, it was already a great friendship.
Even if Shao Xiyan, Shaoxi Kang, and the others were able to endure it, wouldn’t the other members of the Shaoxi Clan be able to make a fuss over the Yuan Liquid produced by the Immortal Ao Island?
However, it was not enough to bring the Shaoxi clan in.
The relationship between Shao Xiyan and Yuan Qingshang was a semi-open secret.
Once the secret of the Immortal Ao Island was leaked out, Chun Lingjun and the others might not be able to seize the Immortal Ao Island, but destroying the Immortal Ao Island under the pretext of exterminating the demons to calm down the chaos was an easy task. There are too many people who don’t want to see Mountain Parasol continue to rise.
A Tunnel Shaking Talisman could reach a depth of 20,000 feet. If Mountain Parasol really wanted to defend the Ghost Head Reef, without a Heaven and Earth grade mountain protection array, he would need to set up several top-grade sealing grade arrays in the periphery in order to avoid direct damage to the Ghost Head Reef.
At that point, Mountain Parasol was bound to become the target of public criticism.
The benefits of pulling the Dragon Gate Sect in were too great.
Mountain Parasol needed allies like Dragon Gate Sect and the Xuandu Religion to gain a solid foothold in Cloud Continent and suppress the thirty-six God Generals’ greedy ambitions towards the Northwest.
As for the sea area where Immortal Ao Island was located, it had always been Dragon Gate Sect’s responsibility. As long as Dragon Gate Sect changed the principle that human and demon were inseparable, the Ce Tian Manor would no longer be able to directly infringe on Immortal Ao Island under the pretext of exterminating demons.
If anything really happened to Immortal Ao Island, the Dragon Gate Sect would be close and reinforcements would be extremely convenient.
Immortal Ao Island was a natural Spiritual Lake Array. Mountain Parasol didn’t know when he would be able to refine a true Spiritual Lake Array. Chen Xun wouldn’t sit there and watch the destruction of Immortal Ao Island unless he had the chance.
Of course, it would require tremendous benefits to make the Dragon Gate Sect change so much.
In addition, the primordial liquid produced by Immortal Ao Island needed to be refined before it could be used.
Mountain Parasol’s manpower was limited, and there were even fewer cultivators capable of refining the Corpse Fiend. Du Liangyong, Gu Yuanchang, and the others were able to refine less than ten kilograms of Yuan Liquid per year. Only by pulling the Shaoxi Clan and Dragon Gate Sect in could they increase the output of Yuan Liquid.
Only with the participation of the Shaoxi Clan and the Dragon Gate Sect would they be able to better conceal the secrets of the Spiritual Lake Array.
At that time, even if three to five hundred bottles were to appear, it would be said that they were a batch of secret treasures that the three clans had obtained from Mountain Long back then. Who would be able to distinguish between real and fake?
Even if someone could tell if it was real or not, they wouldn’t be looking at the Mountain Parasol family, and there would be a Shaoxi family that could share the pressure with Dragon Gate Sect.
