Chapter 238 Mid-stage Golden Core [5K]
Hearing the words, Master Huangji’s eyes also had a chill in his eyes.
The deep sea is vast, and the continent closest to the Seven Domains Alliance is probably millions of miles away.
For such a large swarm of soul-eating locusts, it is basically impossible to cross the deep sea.
Because ordinary soul-eating locusts have weak cultivation bases, they may run out of energy after flying thousands of miles and need to find a place to rest and recover.
Not to mention there are countless sea beasts in the deep sea. These soul-eating locusts are a good delicacy for sea beasts.
So normally, only Soul-eating Locusts with a golden elixir or higher level are barely capable of crossing such a vast sea area.
If the Soul-Eating Locust comes to the Seven Realms Alliance with only a few demonic locusts, then it is necessary to multiply the number of the group first.
To reproduce to the present scale, it will take at least several decades of accumulation, and in the process of reproduction, the elixirs of the major forces will inevitably be swallowed up. The forces noticed in advance.
In that case, without the help of hundreds of millions of soul-eating locusts, the soul-eating locusts in the middle stage of the Golden Core would not be a concern to the Seven Domain Alliance.
But at first glance, the current size of the soul-eating locust group did not develop step by step, but snowballed into shape at a very short speed.
Being able to do this means that at least the second-level soul-devouring locusts among this group of soul-devouring locusts have probably successfully established their foundation before coming to the Seven Domain Alliance.
Only in this way can the Soul-Eating Locusts be able to reproduce on a large scale so quickly.
Thinking of this, the Master of Desolation Sword couldn't help but asked with a sudden change of expression: "Are you saying that these soul-eating locusts are probably someone's pets, and they were brought here by a spiritual pet bag? ? ”
“This is the only way it can be explained. ”
Ye Linyuan spoke calmly, and then asked with a slight frown: "To be able to possess the middle-stage Golden Core Demon King, the person behind it is probably not weak."
"It should be the best among the middle-stage Golden Core Demon King." ”
Hearing the words, the Master of Huangji Sword couldn’t help but nodded.
The reason why they think that the person coming is not the late Golden Core is because if the other party is really in the late Golden Core, then there is no need to hide one's head and show one's tail.
With the strength of Jin Dan in the later stage, he is an invincible existence in the Seven Realms Alliance. As long as he does not go to Tianxing Continent to resist the trump card of Tianxing Sword Sect, this kind of character will be invincible.
Thinking of this, the desolate sword master couldn't help but ask: "What do you think this person wants?"
"I suspect that this person is related to the Canghai Sect." Ye Linyuan spoke out of thin air, his eyes focused. Said: "Probably, he came for me."
The desolate sword master frowned slightly, and then said: "So, your trouble is not small."
Ye Linyuan nodded, and suddenly said with a faint look: "This is a trouble, but maybe it is also an opportunity. ”
“…”
After leaving the Seven Domain Alliance, Ye Linyuan returned to the Xuanyuan Islands, and then began to gather his tribesmen to prepare for the locust plague.
The Ye Clan’s Immortal Clan is approximately one million miles away from the Xinghen Palace, so the speed of the locust plague will take its time after all.
According to Ye Linyuan's estimation, it will be at least more than ten years before the locust plague spreads to the Xuanyuan Islands.
Of course, if the master behind the locust plague brings the monster locusts to the Xuanyuan Islands with the treasures of stored spiritual beasts, it is possible that they will sweep across the Xuanyuan Islands in a very short time.
However, Ye Linyuan feels that this possibility is unlikely, because the storage space for storing spiritual beasts' treasures is also very limited.
Even a third-level high-grade storage magic weapon cannot carry hundreds of millions of locusts across hundreds of thousands of miles of sea.
So if the master behind the locust plague really wants to cross the sea, the most he can do is take away the elite demonic locusts who are in the advanced stage of Qi training or above.
But in this way, the number of demon locusts may be reduced a hundred times, and the overall strength will be greatly reduced.
Xuanyuan Ye Clan is not the Star Mark Palace, nor is the Star Sword Sect a vegetarian. Once the other party dares to arrive with only a small number of elite demon locusts, I am afraid they will be attacked by more than ten people before the snowball starts. A golden elixir powerful siege.
So Ye Linyuan believed that the process of the locust plague was mostly orderly. When the opponent started to sweep from the weak Xinghen Islands, it had been planned from the beginning.
After all, there are too many powerful people in the Xuanyuan sea area where Ye's family is located. If they are discovered in advance, the demon locusts may not have time to reproduce and will be killed in advance.
Although the Xinghen Temple has an ancient inheritance, it has been suppressed by major forces in recent years. The Golden Pill and even the Foundation Establishment monks in the sect are afraid to go out for inspection, which gives the opportunity for the demonic locusts to overrun. .
“There will still be at least ten years.”
After Ye Linyuan told everyone the news, he fell into deep thought.
He began to sort out the results of his practice and meditate on how to deal with this disaster.
If this locust plague is really planned by the Canghai Sect and the ultimate goal is directed at him, then the Canghai Sect's back-up plan may not be that simple.
Because although the locust plague is terrible, it is difficult for the Ye Clan to shake its foundation.
As a peerless expert who has cultivated the finest golden elixirs, Ye Linyuan has many golden elixir experts around him to help him. It is impossible for just one or two golden elixirs to defeat him in the mid-term.
So Li Xuangeng definitely has a backup plan. The opponent's strength can at least kill Ye Linyuan with greater certainty. Otherwise, once Ye Linyuan escapes from the Seven Domain Alliance, it will be meaningless for them to pay such a high price.
“They don’t know that I have spiritual refining magic, which improves the speed of cultivation and the quality of my magic power. I have never shown the Ten Thousand Transformations Sword Art in front of them.”
"So Li Xuangeng may not be able to figure out my true strength."
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart, and then said: "But no matter what, they will definitely try to overestimate my strength and trump cards, so I hide The trump card is still not enough to make a comeback. "
"So the top priority is that I must do my best to improve my strength."
Ye Linyuan lingered for a long time and began to think about improving his strength.
At his level, the improvements brought by ordinary magical powers and magic weapons are already minimal, and cannot bring about qualitative improvements at all.
If he wants to make a big breakthrough, Ye Linyuan's best options are two. The first is to break through to the middle stage of the golden elixir in cultivation, and the second is to refine a third-level rare object using the magic of spiritual refining.
After the former breaks through, the thickness and quality of his mana will be raised to a higher level, and his strength will be at least 30 to 40% higher than the current level, reaching the top level in the mid-stage Golden Elixir realm.
If you choose the latter, after refining the third-level treasure, Ye Linyuan's strength will definitely improve qualitatively, and it may even allow him to reach the level of the late Jindan in some aspects.
However, after Ye Linyuan pondered for a long time, he still gave up refining the third-level rare objects.
Because he does not have a third-level high-grade rare treasure in his hand, it is even difficult to obtain a third-level mid-grade rare treasure.
Even if he obtains a third-level mid-level treasure through the Tianxing Sword Sect, the effect will be greatly reduced as his cultivation level increases.
By the time he reaches the Golden Elixir Great Perfection, the effectiveness of the third-level mid-grade rare treasures may only be one or two.
At that time, how can he penetrate the Nascent Soul barrier?
“In each realm, there is only one chance to refine rare treasures, and there is only one chance to advance to the original rare treasures. I don’t have many opportunities to choose. For long-term considerations, I cannot refine ordinary treasures. Object."
Ye Linyuan thought about it in his heart, and then felt the magic power in his body, and his eyebrows wrinkled slightly.
Unknowingly, it has been more than fifty years since he broke through the Golden Pill. Over the years, he has continued to refine the evil spirit of Renshui and taken a large amount of good luck pills. His cultivation has not been slow at all.
Today, he has cultivated 280 mana powers, and he is still 80 mana steps away from the perfection of the early stage of the Golden elixir.
With the help of Shui Lingzhu and Mahayana Wanchuan Guihai Jue, he can cultivate four levels of magic power every year. Coupled with the blessing of long-term use of Good Fortune Pills, he can increase five or six levels of magic power every year on average.
It will take more than ten years to complete these eighty magic powers.
“There are still some fruits of creation that I obtained from the secret realm of Blood Prison a few years ago, and I can barely cultivate for more than ten years by myself.”
"I hope there won't be any big troubles in the next ten years or so."
Ye Linyuan kept thinking, and after thinking about it, he picked another batch of rare elixirs, and then walked into the Tianxing Sword Sect.
The advancement of the Golden Elixir cultivator is inseparable from the power of the Tiangang Earthly Evil. It is definitely not enough to supply Ye with so much Golden Elixir cultivation by relying solely on the Earthly Evil power produced in the Xuanyuan Sea.
So Ye Linyuan could only take various elixirs and go to the Tianxing Sword Sect in exchange for various evil spirits.
Fortunately, the Tianxing Sword Sect is worthy of being a great sect that has been passed down for thousands of years. Its foundation is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary Jindan forces. Not to mention the power of water evil that Ye Linyuan needs, even the power of Li that Ye Xuqiu needs. Fire and Earth Fiends all have storage.
After replacing these evil spirits, Ye Linyuan began to practice in seclusion. Two years later, Master Minghuang personally visited Xuanyuan Island and presented Ye Linyuan with a second-level rare gold.
This is a small piece of second-grade Geng Gold that is not too big, but it is enough to be used as a medicinal guide for the Geng Gold Needle.
After Ye Linyuan refined it, the Geng Golden Needle soon transformed into a small magical power.
After the transformation of this magical power, there was an astonishing change immediately.
It turned into a pure golden needle light that rose and fell, exuding a terrifying edge that tore apart the sky.
"Ding——"
Ye Linyuan tried to activate, but found that the needle light instantly penetrated hundreds of miles of mountains and rivers, and it was not until a long time later that the sound of piercing the air was heard.
“Not bad.”
Feeling the power of the Geng Golden Needle, Ye Linyuan could not help but whisper slowly and breathed a sigh of relief.
After the Geng Golden Needle transformed into a magical power, its power not only increased several times, but also had a chill that made Ye Linyuan feel dangerous.
Such a spiritual plant-killing spell possesses indestructible and terrible penetrating power. Even a monk in the late stage of the Golden Core will probably end up seriously injured and dying if he is accidentally attacked by this move. .
Of course, the Geng Golden Needle also has great weaknesses. Although it has a great ability to break defenses against Gang Qi and is extremely fast, its damage ability is very limited.
Faced with this sneak attack, as long as you move an inch away and avoid your own vital points, the Geng Golden Needle will only leave a small hole in your body.
Because the power of the Geng Golden Needle is too concentrated, it will directly penetrate the monk's body without causing much damage.
If it cannot penetrate the throat, heart, dantian or head and other fatal weak points, the injuries caused will not be serious at all to the golden elixir monk, and it can be recovered by just escaping and practicing a little.
However, if it is used to deal with spirit insects, this shortcoming is nothing. The spirit insects only rely on numbers to win. The combat power of a single entity is often very weak. If you want to avoid the Geng Golden Needle, you may not be able to avoid it. So easy.
"After transforming into a magical power, it should not be difficult to deal with the soul-eating demon king. The next step is to see whether the cultivation level can be promoted."
Ye Linyuan considered it, and then resumed his hidden cultivation. career.
In the following time, drastic changes began to occur in the entire Seven Domain Alliance.
The major forces feared the monster locust like a tiger, but they had nothing to do with it, so they were forced to pick up all their own elixirs.
Wherever the monster locusts sweep through, even the vegetation will be devoured, and the scale of the locust swarms will continue to expand, almost becoming a natural disaster for a while.
After continuous reproduction, the number of demonic locusts began to increase like a snowball, and the number of elite demonic locusts in the late stage of Qi training and above also continued to increase.
They are divided into countless groups, migrating in the sea, constantly turning one spiritual island after another into a desert island.
Times passed by so long, and by the time the locust swarm approached the Tianxing Sea, it was already more than ten years later.
The locust swarm moved much slower than Ye Linyuan expected, because the vastness of the deep sea greatly delayed the locust swarm's speed.
If they want to cross from one sea area to another, they often have to pay a high price. The wind, waves and sea beasts in the deep sea are enough to eliminate most low-level monster locusts.
And just when the locust swarm spread close to the Tianxing Sea, Ye Linyuan received an unexpected news.
The locust swarm suddenly disappeared, or the elite demonic locusts at the advanced stage of Qi training suddenly disappeared overnight.
Afterwards, countless monster locusts became leaderless and began to retreat steadily under the strangulation of the major monks.
"Sure enough, they are here for us."
After Ye Linyuan got the news, his eyebrows could not help but frown slightly, showing a hint of condensation.
The Minghuang Sword Master on the side nodded, and then handed a piece of information to Ye Linyuan and said: "From the existing information, although the demon locust has ravaged the Seven Domain Alliance, it has caused major foundation building training The Qi forces were affected.”
“But those in the Seven Domain Alliance. Jindan forces, except for the Xinghen Palace, the elixir garden, which has almost no forces, was attacked."
Ye Linyuan's eyes were slightly cold, and then he said: "So, I'm afraid the person behind the demon locust is. We have reached a tacit agreement with those forces.”
Sword Master Minghuang nodded, and then said calmly: "The major forces in the Seven Domain Alliance are afraid of both of us. They may not dare to directly intervene against us, but they are happy to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers."
At this moment, the two of them roughly understood the cause and effect.
Most of the demonic locusts were invited by Canghai Sect Master. Their purpose was to cause a locust plague and eventually cultivated a large number of elite demonic locusts to deal with Ye Linyuan.
In this case, in order to prevent variables, the person behind it will definitely not turn against the Green Bull Demon King and others, so as not to become the target of public criticism in the Seven Domain Alliance.
“This locust plague will probably come to your Xuanyuan sea area next.”
Sword Master Minghuang spoke calmly, and then said with a slightly solemn look: "If it really doesn't work, you can move to our Tianxing Sword Sect for the time being." Locust, wait until you break through the middle stage of the golden elixir Retake this Xuanyuan sea area."
Ye Linyuan shook his head, and then said: "Based on my understanding of Li Xuangeng, he must not only play chess in this way."
"Oh? "Sword Master Minghuang was slightly startled.
Ye Linyuan picked up the tea cup and took a sip. There was a bit of fighting in his eyes and said: "As expected, he will lure me out of the mountain to fight with a bait that I can't refuse."
Minghuang Sword Master heard this and vaguely understood something, but he still said: "In my opinion, it is too short for you to break through the realm of pill formation, and it is not time to fight him to the death."
"I understand, but it concerns my wife's chance of becoming enlightened. I still have to give it a try after all."
Yan At this point, Minghuang Sword Master could only stand up and say: "Then if they really reach an agreement, our Tianxing Sword Sect may not be able to spare much power in this battle."
"I will do my best then, let's see. Can I come to help you?”
“I’m interested”
Ye Linyuan spoke politely, then stood up and said goodbye to Minghuang Jianzi.
After watching Minghuang Jianzi leave, Shui Hanqing appeared behind Ye Linyuan at some point, hugged him tenderly from behind and said, "Husband, if we are not sure, we should retreat first."
“I have no chance of becoming enlightened yet. There will be no other chance."
Ye Linyuan grabbed her hand, patted it gently, and then said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will take care of everything."
At this point, he said. He lowered his eyes and sensed the powerful magic power in his body, and couldn't help but feel slightly certain in his heart.
But seeing that the magic power in his body was powerful, he already had more than 400 magic powers, which was a sign of breaking through to the middle stage of the golden elixir.
It turns out that not long ago, he had broken through the middle stage of Jindan.
After breaking through the middle stage of Golden Elixir, in addition to the increase in the quantity of mana, the quality of Ye Linyuan's mana has also improved to a certain extent.
Unfortunately, after breaking through the golden elixir, the effects of the second-level rare water spirit beads and black gold sword embryos have been reduced a lot. The quality of Ye Linyuan's mana has only increased by 30%, and the cultivation speed has not improved at all.
It stands to reason that after breaking through the middle stage of the Golden Core, his cultivation speed can be increased by at least 50%. Unfortunately, as the effect of the second-order rare water spirit beads has been greatly reduced, his cultivation speed has not increased at all.
According to Ye Linyuan's estimation, after reaching the late stage of breaking through the golden elixir, the effectiveness of the second-order rare water spirit beads will be reduced to only 10% to 20%.
By then, if he cannot refine the third-level water spirit bead, his cultivation speed will gradually be reduced back to its original state.
Even in the middle stage of Golden Elixir, at the current speed of cultivation, if you want to reach perfection in the middle stage of Golden Elixir, it will probably take at least three Jiaqi's time.
“After reaching the middle stage of pill formation, my cultivation speed will probably slow down a lot in the future.”
“Fortunately, after the breakthrough, the quality of my mana and the power of my magical powers have improved, and my overall strength has improved. Thirty percent.”
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart. According to his own estimation, his original strength was comparable to the sixth level of the Golden Core. With the breakthrough in cultivation, his current strength has reached the top level of the Golden Core.
This kind of strength is stronger than Li Xuangeng back then.
"If we add this formation."
Ye Linyuan's mind wandered, and he made a gesture with a flick of his sleeve.
