Chapter 1421 Tracing the Source
Any innate Tao Fruit needs to be meditated in retreat after taking it. As for the time of retreat, it varies from person to person and also from Tao Fruit to Tao Fruit.
But no matter what, the shortest time will not be less than a hundred days.
Although Wu Xin got the reincarnation fruit, she couldn't take it in the Thousand Machine Demonic Tower. She had to wait until she left here and found a safe cave to retreat.
So Wuxin temporarily sealed the reincarnation fruit.
The two of them had already gained a lot from their trip to the Thousand Magic Tower. Although the treasure house on the fifth floor had been contaminated by the Moon Water, at least there were still these two treasure chests.
Both the "Secret Scroll of Heavenly Works" and the Fruit of Reincarnation are priceless treasures. Now that they are divided between Liang Yan and Wu Xin, both of them are satisfied.
The biggest problem now is how to get out of here!
The entire Thousand Machine Demonic Tower is in the void. If you want to evacuate safely, you must return to the void crack at the entrance to the first floor. Otherwise, with Liang Yan’s current strength, he is likely to be swept away by the chaotic space storm. Devour.
"The Eight-Armed Sword Ape said that the only exit is on the fifth floor, and it is guarded by the puppet guards on this floor, but why haven't we met him after we have been walking around Tianshu District for so long? The guard in your mouth?" Liang Yan said with some confusion.
After Wu Xin listened, he also looked confused.
“I remember that the weapon spirit of Ling Tian Dagger also said that the guard of the fifth level is stationed in Tianshu District. If you don’t pass his test, you will not get the reward of this level at all. Now this We have already obtained both treasures, and this puppet hasn’t shown up yet?”
“Could it be related to ‘Hui Yueshui’?”
Liang Yan had a sudden idea. Wu Xin was also slightly startled.
"Hueyue Shui, it is possible. If the guards on this floor are still in Tianshu District, they will never sit back and watch 'Hueyue Shui' pollute the treasure house. Could it be said that the guards on this floor were manipulated by something? Is something trapped? Or is he dead?" Wu Xin said thoughtfully.
"It's too early to draw a conclusion now." Liang Yan shook his head, his gaze seemed to penetrate the palace and look upstream of the Soul River.
"If you want to find out what happened here, I'm afraid you have to go to the source of the Soul River. I guess that the teleportation circle that left the Thousand Machine Demonic Tower should also be there."
Wuxin frowned and said softly: "Is there any danger? I always feel that this 'Moon Water' is a bit unusual."
"There are dangers, but we can't stay here."
Liang Yan was thinking deeply when he suddenly heard something behind him. There was a cough, and it was known that Yang Jianying had woken up.
He and Wu Xin turned around and saw Yang Jianying leaning against a stone pillar, meditating and doing exercises. Her complexion was not too bad. It seemed that the "Sanqing Holy Spirit Pill" had taken effect.
"Brother Yang, you're awake, how are you feeling now?" Liang Yan walked to his side and asked with concern.
“Thank you Brother Liang for saving me. Your elixir is so miraculous, even more powerful than the secret life-saving elixir passed down by our Yang family. In just this moment, I felt that my injury was 30% better. As long as you take care of it carefully, there shouldn't be any hidden diseases left," Yang Jianying said with a smile.
“That’s not the ‘Sanqing Holy Spirit Pill’. It was refined by the Lord of White Jade City himself. If it’s not as good as your Yang family’s pill, that would be a strange thing!” Wu Xin said first.
“What? Is this the elixir refined by our city lord?”
Yang Jianying's face showed a look of shock.
He is a monk from the Yang family in Baiyu City. The Yang family is also considered a wealthy family in Baiyu City. However, despite this, it is extremely difficult for the children of the family to meet Li Yuxian.
Li Yuxian became a saint based on the foundation of ten thousand kalpas. He has nine orifices in his heart and has an unparalleled style.
Although he is a rising star, under his leadership, White Jade City is thriving and its prestige is comparable to that of the original three cities.
Everyone in the city is convinced of him. Some young people even have a kind of fanatical admiration for him. Even Yang Jianying is no exception to this feeling.
Although Yang Jianying is a proud child of the Yang family, he has only seen Li Yuxian a few times at the city fair in Baiyu City, and has longed for the city lord's style.
At this moment, when he learned that the elixir he had just taken was actually refined by the city lord himself, his face couldn't help but become extremely excited.
"Really. Really the City Lord's 'Sanqing Holy Spirit Pill'?"
At this moment, Yang Jianying seemed to be unable to feel the physical pain, and actually knelt on the ground with a pious expression on her face. , bowed several times in the direction of Baiyu City.
“Thank you City Lord for the elixir!”
Liang Yanhe Wuxin didn't expect that Yang Jianying would respect his city lord so much, and they were secretly surprised.
"Brother Yang, this is a bit unreasonable. Although the elixir was refined by your White Jade City Lord, he has already given it to Liang Yan. You should thank Liang Yan, right?" Wu Xin He curled his lips and said.
"Haha, of course I have to thank Brother Liang." Yang Jianying stood up from the ground and saluted Liang Yan again.
Liang Yan immediately waved his hand and said: "Brother Yang, there is no need to be polite. She is joking with you. Senior Li is also someone I respect. He has donated medicine to me. Now I use it to rescue Bai Jade City." Tianjiao, it can be regarded as reincarnation."
A few people laughed and relaxed for a moment, and then began to discuss the current situation.
Yang Jianying mused: "When I left Huoyuan Cave and planned to explore the way, I accidentally discovered the crazy Lingtian Dagger Spirit. He seemed to have been muttering words like 'source' and 'old lion'. I didn't understand, so I kept following him. He was extremely powerful and destroyed many institutions and magic circles along the way. I thought I could enter the Tianshu District without any injuries by following him. Who knew that I met Luo Qing in a magic circle and was captured by him later?"
After hearing what Yang Jianying said, Liang Yan nodded slightly.
In fact, he had some doubts before. You must know that the mechanisms and formations on the fifth floor are specially designed for Tianjiao disciples. It is not easy when everyone joins forces to break the formation. How can Yang Jianying break through so much alone? How many levels?
It turns out that there is Lingtian Dagger’s weapon spirit that is opening the way for him!
This makes sense. As for the name Ling Tian Dagger was chanting intermittently, it should be the source of the Soul River and the gatekeeper puppet on this level.
Liang Yan narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "It seems that the answers to all the questions here are at the source of the Soul River! I am also a little curious about the origin of this 'painted moon water', which can actually extend people's lives and get a A false 'eternal life'! ”
Having said this, Liang Yan glanced at Yang Jianying again and asked, "Is your injury okay? Do you need to rest for a while?"
"No need."
Yang Jianying waved her hand and said with a smile: "I have practiced With the power of the 'Sanqing Holy Spirit Pill', my movements are basically unimpeded. Although the power of my supernatural powers is only about 30% of what it was in its heyday, your current strength is not inferior to mine, right? I just hope you can lead me? Leave Thousand Machine Demonic Tower and let me return the sword seal to Family."
"Don't worry, as long as I, Liang Yan, still have breath, I will take you out of here safely. But you really can't help me now, so you should go to my gourd to rest for a while. ”
Liang Yan said, patting the green gourd on his waist, and a ray of white light shot out. Yang Jianying did not resist, and allowed the white light to draw him into the Taixu gourd.
“Let’s go.”
After settling Yang Jianying, Liang Yan did not stay any longer and left the palace with Wu Xin. Then he pinched the magic formula in his hand and flew upstream of the Soul River with Wu Xin. escape.
The two of them flew at a low altitude close to the ground. Along the way, they saw more and more "moon-painted water" coming ashore from the Soul River, and the surrounding atmosphere became more and more weird. Several times, Liang Yan even heard a voice whispering in his ear.
Although he couldn't hear the specific content clearly, the voice seemed to have a stimulating effect on people's hearts. Even Liang Yan felt upset and wanted to get angry for no reason.
Wuxin's cultivation is not as good as his, but he is still like this, and Wuxin is even more uncomfortable.
As the distance progressed, Wuxin's eyes were faintly red, and the aura in his body became a little chaotic.
At this moment, a gentle spiritual power entered from Liang Yan's palm into the back of her heart, and then quickly spread throughout her body along the meridians.
As this spiritual power flowed to his limbs and bones, Wuxin felt warm all over his body, and the restless mood just now was swept away.
"Thank you."
Wuxin breathed lightly and glanced around, with a trace of worry in his eyes.
"It's so weird here. I don't know why. The closer I get to the source, the more uneasy I feel."
Liang Yan is currently working on the "Eight Parts of Evolution". He helped the two of them get rid of the irritability, and couldn't help but frown slightly after hearing Wu Xin's words.
“I feel that the power of ‘Huiyue Shui’ has become stronger, as if it is alive, look there”
Following the direction pointed by Liang Yan, he accidentally saw a stream of black "Moon Painting Water" flowing out of the Soul River. This black water flowed upwards at a slow speed, and it came straight to where the two of them were. !
"It discovered us?" Wuxin asked in shock.
She didn’t know what the unknown existence was, so she could only describe it as “it”.
"Maybe this is a warning. If we continue to move forward, there will be more dangerous things."
While speaking, Liang Yan flicked his right hand. , a sword energy burst out from the fingertips, piercing the sky and piercing the "Moon Painting Water" in the distance.
He was already a master of the Transformation Tribulation Realm. Even though it was just a wisp of sword energy that he fired casually, its power was extraordinary, almost comparable to Yang Jianying's full-strength sword.
However, the black "Moon Painting Water" was really weird. After swallowing Liang Yan's sword energy, it did not collapse immediately, but instead swelled up like a bubble.
In just a moment, the black bubble had expanded to the size of a millstone. There were ridges and depressions constantly appearing on the surface of the bubble, as if something was struggling inside and unable to escape.
Seeing this scene, Liang Yan frowned slightly and looked a little gloomy.
“My sword energy is actually trapped in the ‘Moon Painting Water’. What on earth is this?”
Before he could finish his words, the "Moon Painting Water" in the distance suddenly burst into flames. The black water sprayed into the air like ink, and finally turned into hundreds of black streams of light, shooting straight towards the location of Liang Yan and Wu Xin.
“Be careful!”
Liang Yan shouted lowly and pinched the sword in his hand urgently.
Brush!
With a sound of breaking through the air, the Purple Thunder Sword Pill flew out of the Taixu Gourd.
Thunder sword energy was flying in the air, and in an instant, the sword energy was used to condense a purple thunder sword net, blocking himself and Wu Xin.
The black stream of light in the distance formed by the explosion of "Moon Painting Water" had now come closer and landed on Liang Yan's Purple Thunder Sword Net. Green smoke immediately rose up and a burst of "squeak!" "Squeak! Squeak!"
Liang Yanhe looked intently and saw that what was blocked by the sword net were long black worms as long as thumbs and as long as silk threads!
What I saw on the fourth floor before, the monsters under control had this kind of strange insect inside them!
However, the strange insects here are a little different from those on the fourth floor. Their front ends show a light golden color, and they branch to both sides, revealing a mouthpart in the middle, which looks like a silver needle. .
"The strange insects here are much more powerful than those on the fourth level!"
Liang Yan squinted his eyes and said slowly: "Those strange insects on the fourth level will lose their power once they leave the body of the monster. He has no fighting ability, but the monsters here are obviously very powerful. Even if they face my sword energy, they will not be defeated."
After hearing this, Wu Xin nodded solemnly.
She knew that Liang Yan was not talking nonsense, because at this moment, the strange insects trapped in the sword net did not die immediately. What was even weirder was that they were still devouring each other!
In just a few breaths, only three of the hundreds of strange insects originally trapped by the sword net were left.
The auras of these three strange insects are very powerful, far beyond the comparison of the strange insects that were devoured just now.
Seeing this scene, Liang Yan and Wu Xin both looked shocked.
What are you doing? Could these weird bugs evolve by eating each other?
As if to confirm their guess, the only three remaining monster insects also started a fierce fight.
“Stop them!”
Liang Yan didn't hesitate at all. With a pinch of the magic formula in his hand, the Purple Thunder Sword Net began to shrink inward, and the powerful sword energy continued to cut the body of the strange insect.
The three strange insects were covered in scars, but they did not give up the fight. The winner was soon determined by Liang Yan's sword energy.
One of the strange insects swallowed the other two, and its whole body was wrapped in a ray of golden light, just like a solid silkworm chrysalis. No matter how much sword energy fell like raindrops, it could not pierce this golden silkworm chrysalis.
Crack!
On the silent river bank, both Liang Yan and Wu Xin heard a crisp cracking sound.
The next moment, the silkworm chrysalis split open, and a three-foot-long strange insect emerged from inside.
The head of this strange insect is golden, and the front end is split open, revealing two rows of fangs. It has abdominal legs with hundreds of them on the left and right. It looks like a centipede, but has two wings on its back.
The injuries Liang Yan had just left on the three strange insects had disappeared without a trace.
Facing the Purple Thunder Sword Net, this strange insect was not afraid at all. The wings on its back vibrated, and it actually got out of the gap in the sword net in the blink of an eye!
“So fast!”
Liang Yan and Wu Xin looked at each other and exclaimed in surprise at the same time.
