Chapter 106 Five-Colored Black Snail [5K] He had a feeling that he had accidentally walked into a trap where a certain person or force had been secretly planning for many years and seemed to be plotting against someone. In a game of chess, who is the player and who is the chess piece? Bright Moon Shell, Xuanling Sanren, Su Shaoyu, Nine-bend Spirit Crane, Qinghe Immortal Sect, and Heikui Islands. He had no idea who was in the game, who was an outsider, who was the food on the plate, and who was the one drawing the knife. He is just an ant involved in the game. If he is not careful, he will lose everything. So what should he do next? "Be careful with your words and actions, hide yourself, and wait for the right opportunity to act." Ye Linyuan's mind was in turmoil, but he finally suppressed the thought. He retracted his thoughts, took another look at the huge Xuanling Islands, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had set up this formation before and knew its weaknesses and back-up plans. "Master Su, fellow Taoists, you have come at the right time. I have been waiting for a long time." At this moment, a heroic young man walked out from Xuanling Island. He was the famous Xuanling Sanren from Qinghe Islands.
Ye Linyuan only took a glance, and his eyes became slightly stern. The cultivation level displayed by this Xuanling Sanren was only the eighth level of Qi training, but it gave him a faint sense of danger. In comparison, even Su Shaoyu, who had reached perfection in Qi training, was not as threatening to Ye Linyuan as this person. "To be able to threaten me like this, his true cultivation must have reached the state of Qi Refining Great Perfection." Ye Linyuan's mind was in turmoil, and he couldn't help but feel a little solemn. The sense of danger was his innate talent, and he had never missed this feeling in his three lifetimes. This Xuanling Sanren is only about fifty years old, but he has already cultivated to the great perfection of Qi training. With such a speed of cultivation, he should be able to rank among the top ten among Qi training disciples even in the Jindan Immortal Sect. "It seems that this Xuanling Sanren has a questionable origin." "This person is either a direct descendant of the Jindan Immortal Sect, or has inherited the legacy of a Jindan cultivator." Ye Linyuan made a quick judgment in his mind, but then gradually put the thought aside. At the same time, Xuanling Sanren suddenly felt something and immediately looked at Ye Linyuan. "what happened?" Seeing this, Su Shaoyu immediately asked curiously. Xuanling Sanren shook his head, then smiled and said, "This person has a good talent for spiritual plants. It is said that there is a spiritual plant master behind him. I have also met him once." "Oh?" Su Shaoyu took a curious look, and then said, "I have heard of this person. I think it is just the gloves of the spiritual plant husband." "Besides, he is one of the Tenth Elders, and this lineage is not so easy to move." Xuanling Sanren nodded. The Yu family's lineage was deeply rooted in the Qinghe Immortal Sect. Not only did they occupy two of the ten elders, but there were also six or seven elders who had reached the peak of Qi training. Ancestor Yu, the backbone of this lineage, is a foundation-building cultivator second only to Jiuqu Linghe and Xuanyu Taoist. He can be said to be one of the giants in Qinghe Immortal Sect. Even though Su Shaoyu is the young master of the Qinghe Immortal Sect, he would not easily become enemies with the Yu family. When Xuanling Sanren heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Young Master, you are worrying too much. I have no grudge against this person, so there is no need to make enemies with him."
Seeing this, Su Shaoyu nodded and said nothing more. They then discussed for a while before leaving separately. After everyone left, Xuanling Sanren stood there, looking thoughtful. Seeing this, the attendant beside him couldn't help but ask through voice transmission: "Sir, is there something wrong with Ye Linyuan?" "I didn't notice any problem." Xuanling Sanren shook his head, and then said thoughtfully: "It's just that just now, my magic power felt a little stagnant." "A feeling of stagnation?" When the followers saw this, they were immediately shocked. You should know that a cultivator's magic power will feel stagnant, and this feeling usually occurs only when he is suppressed by a higher-level technique of the same attribute. For example, in Ye Linyuan’s previous life, when facing the mastermind behind the practice of planting golden lotus in the sea of fire, he felt a sense of stagnation as if his magic power was suppressed. The superior skills of the same attributes, or the one with stronger cultivation, often have a greater suppression on the other party. For example, when practicing the same Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong, an early Nascent Soul stage cultivator can only exert 50% to 60% of his strength when facing a middle Nascent Soul stage cultivator. Before this, Xuanling Sanren had a feeling that the true Qi he cultivated with the Chengyue ancient scroll was vaguely suppressed. This also shocked the follower, because he knew clearly what kind of superior martial arts his young master was practicing. Thinking of this, the attendant couldn't help but ask: "The stagnation of magic power, could it be related to Ye Linyuan? How about we arrest him?" "He is too young. Even if he practices the same attribute technique, he cannot suppress my magic power." Xuanling Sanren shook his head, and then said, "That person's aura is extremely obscure. He should be a cultivator who has reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining hidden in the dark." "And once we take action, our identities will be exposed. At that time, all our plans will come to nothing, and it may even affect that person's layout." Having said this, Xuanling Sanren retracted his gaze and finally said dimly, "Moreover, that person's suppression of me was not that great, so he should not be a fellow practitioner, but just has similar skills." "The most urgent task is to capture the Bright Moon Shell and let that person complete the plan." Upon hearing this, the attendant put away his murderous intent. As long as the person was not a fellow practitioner of the Great Dao, then he could not be considered an enemy of the Great Dao who would never stop fighting to the death. At the same time, Ye Linyuan and everyone in the Ye family gathered together, completed camping in a corner, and replenished the Lingfeng with fresh water and other supplies for the last time. By the time he had replenished enough, the sky had gradually darkened. Ye Linyuan thought of the Xuanling Wanderer again, and his brows couldn't help but frown slightly. When facing Xuanling Sanren just now, he even felt a vague sense of rejection. If it weren't for the Turtle Breathing Technique of the Mahayana realm that suppressed the aura of Canghai Mingyue Gong, Xuanling Sanren would have noticed the abnormality long ago. Now thinking of this Xuanling Island again, Ye Linyuan's brows could not help but frown deeply: "This person's origin is mysterious, and he has been planning in Xuanling Island for many years. I think he must want a lot." "The Bright Moon Shell is probably something he is determined to get, right?" Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart, and an inexplicable gleam appeared in his eyes. "..." The army stayed on Xuanling Island for one night and set out again early the next morning, heading towards the Heikui Islands from the left.
This time, Xuanling Sanren also followed the left-wing army. Hundreds of large ships moved forward in a mighty manner. Along the way, they captured several islands inhabited by demons one after another. Finally, after traveling more than 3,000 miles, they arrived at the outskirts of the Heikui Islands. "The Conch Five Islands are ahead." "According to the plan, after we capture this place, we will make final repairs and then attack the Heikui Islands." At this time, Old Man Ye stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the island in the distance and spoke. Ye Linyuan did not say anything, but just looked at the five islands in front of him calmly, and couldn't help but think of the origin of the Five Conch Islands. The Five Conch Islands are five islands outside the Heikui Islands. They are only more than 600 miles away from the Heikui Islands. They have a first-grade superior spiritual vein, which includes five spiritual eyes of different grades. Legend has it that the Five Conch Islands are occupied by a group of conch monsters. There are hundreds of conch monsters in the Qi training stage, and there is even a mutated conch monster that has completed the Qi training. If any cultivator who has reached the perfection of Qi training dares to come here to hunt monsters, he probably won't be able to escape unscathed. "call out--" Just as Ye Linyuan's mind was wandering, dazzling rays of light were emanating from the Five Conch Islands, and fierce spells collided in them. It was obvious that a strong man had already entered the Five Conch Islands. The battle did not last long. After a fierce collision, three figures walked out of the Conch Five Islands. They were a red-haired man, a Taoist holding a dustpan, and an elder from the Qinghe Immortal Sect. At this time, the red-haired man came out with his upper body naked, carrying a huge conch. "Red Hearted Wanderer." Ye Linyuan's eyes moved slightly, and he glanced at the huge conch in his hand, and a trace of solemnity appeared in his eyes. The cultivation level of this conch is as high as the ninth level of Qi training. Its strength should not be considered weak as it has reached the perfection of Qi training. Unexpectedly, it was forcibly hunted down by this Chixin Sanren. Even though he was not the only one who took action, such means could still be called extraordinary. Seeing this, Old Man Ye said, "There are eight independent cultivators who have reached the perfection of Qi training in Qinghe Islands. This person's strength should be considered one of the best." Ye Linyuan nodded and said thoughtfully: "As a practitioner of both fire techniques and body training, this person's strength is considered outstanding even among those who have reached the Great Perfection of Qi Training." “Even if two or three Qi training ninth level warriors join forces, I’m afraid they may not be able to defeat him.” Just as everyone was discussing this, Chixin Sanren returned to the flagship with the huge conch. At this time, more than ten cultivators who had reached the peak of Qi training had gathered on the flagship. They gathered around Chi Xin San Ren and looked at the giant conch monster with surprise. Taoist Mo couldn't help but stroke his long beard, and then said with emotion: "This three-colored conch monster has been a disaster in this sea area for many years, and it has also killed several late-stage Qi training cultivators in my Qinghe Islands. I didn't expect that it would be killed so easily by Taoist friends." "It seems that letting Fellow Daoist Chixin be the vanguard is the right choice." Chi Xin San Ren smiled, then looked at Su Shao Yu and Yu Dao Feng and said, "Qing He Xian Men said before that whoever can kill the three-colored monster snail in the first battle will be able to obtain the most precious three-colored snail shell. I think the young master will not break his promise." Su Shaoyu heard this and immediately smiled and said, "Once a word is spoken, it cannot be taken back." Upon seeing this, Chixin Sanren immediately collected the shell of the conch monster. This three-colored conch is a mutated demon conch. Its most precious shell is a rare treasure. It is said that once it is refined into a protective magic weapon, it should be considered a top-grade magic weapon among all the rare treasures. Its value is probably not less than thirty spirit stones. Chi Xin San Ren is a casual cultivator who has no expertise in any of the various arts. Over the years, he has relied on fighting and plundering resources for cultivation. Although he is powerful, the method of body refining consumes a lot of resources, so the treasures in his hands are still quite limited. Now that he has obtained this tri-colored conch shell, it can be considered a considerable profit for him.
Su Shaoyu saw this and didn't say much. He just put his hands behind his back calmly, then looked at the Conch Five Islands in front of him and said, "Surround the Conch Five Islands. Remember not to let any evildoer escape." With a wave of Su Shaoyu's hand, eight hundred large ships quickly surrounded the Conch Five Islands, and thousands of monks surrounded the entire Conch Five Islands. The hundreds of conch monsters here were quickly hunted down by the monks. Ye Linyuan and others were not in a hurry to show off, but were a little slow in their movements, and they lost even the qualification to have a share of the pie. "It seems that the Heikui Islands have not discovered our intentions yet." Seeing that the Conch Five Islands were taken down without any pressure, Su Shaoyu couldn't help but smile. An old man from the Qinghe Immortal Sect nodded slightly when he saw this and said, "These Qi training evildoers are not very intelligent. How can they react to our sudden attack?" Everyone nodded when they heard this. Except for a very small number of spiritual beasts with extraordinary bloodlines, the intelligence of most low-level monsters was generally not high, so it was normal for them to be ambushed and captured by them. But the ancestor of the Liu Immortal Clan was still a little worried, and couldn't help but say cautiously: "This battle went too smoothly. Could it be that the Black Python Demon of the Heikui Islands has no defense against us at all?" "The Conch Five Islands are peripheral islands. Even if they noticed something was wrong in advance, they probably wouldn't be able to react." Yu Daofeng answered calmly, and then said decisively: "Whether they notice it or not, we have to kill our way in." Having said this, Taoist Yu ordered the army to enter the Conch Five Islands and carry out the final repairs there. Ye Linyuan followed the army to station at the Conch Five Islands. He let the Ye family's treasure ship dock beside an island. Then, looking at the Conch Five Islands in front of him, an inexplicable light appeared in his eyes. "Could it be that the terrain of the Conch Five Islands is the Five Elements Returning to the Origin Ground?" Ye Linyuan suddenly whispered in his heart, and a hint of surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes. It turns out that these five islands each gathered a kind of spiritual energy, and after being adjusted and arranged by masters, they eventually became the legendary magical treasure land. This Five Elements Return to Origin land vein is extremely rare. It can gather five spiritual substances of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. If it is used to plant five elements wood, it is possible to stimulate it to grow into a rare spiritual wood. And if it is used to cultivate the conch monster clan, perhaps it can give birth to a colorful black conch with a rare bloodline. "I'm afraid that a first-level Five Elements Returning to Origin Earth Vein cannot be successfully arranged by an ordinary foundation-building cultivator." "It seems that there is an invisible hand behind the scenes, secretly planning here for many years." Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart, his eyes became more solemn. Bright Moon Shell, Xuanling Island, Five Elements Guiyuan Earth Vein, since he set out, he has seen several extremely rare layouts, which are not something that ordinary foundation-building forces can accomplish. The calculations behind this were definitely not ordinary. If he hadn't had the experience of reaching the Great Perfection of the Golden Elixir, he would probably have died in a daze without knowing why. "There is also a colorful black snail hiding in the dark." Ye Linyuan was determined in his heart, and then he suppressed his thoughts. With his current strength, he dared not act rashly before seeing the situation clearly, because if there was any mistake, the entire Ye family would be wiped out. The only thing he could do was to hide his own strength and seek the opportunity to achieve enlightenment when necessary. The army rested on the Conch Five Islands for one day and two nights. They took this opportunity to replenish resources such as fresh water and food, and sent spirit birds to agree on a time for a joint attack with the other two groups.
It was not until the early morning of the third day that they set out from the Conch Five Islands and headed towards the Heikui Islands. This time, they fought their way into the Heikui Islands and entered this shallow sea archipelago. As the territory of the demon clan, the number of demon beasts in the shallow sea islands has increased significantly. They had just entered the outskirts of the Heikui Islands when they encountered a lot of demons. Fortunately, there were many monks in the army, and they did not feel pressure when facing these monsters. At this time, an order was issued from the flagship of the left army. "Disperse the troops and attack the outer islands as quickly as possible." "Anyone who can kill a demon beast will be rewarded with merit. If one can kill a demon in the late stage of Qi training, he or she will be awarded the Blue Crane Immortal Order." "Whoever can be the first to bring back the news about the Bright Moon Shell will become a true disciple of our Qinghe Immortal Sect and be personally cultivated by the Foundation Establishment Ancestor." As messengers went around the fleet, the news spread throughout the fleet. All of a sudden, countless cultivators were excited. One must know that the true disciples of the Foundation Establishment Immortal Sect are all taught by the Foundation Establishment Master himself, and their status is equivalent to that of the Ten Elders. Once they can become true disciples, they may have the opportunity to build a foundation in the future. Soon, a large number of independent cultivators gathered in groups of three or five and excitedly rushed to the deep sea outside the Heikui Island. Only Old Man Ye frowned slightly, then sighed and said: "After this battle, I don't know how many people will come back." In response, Ye Linyuan just twitched his eyebrows and didn't say anything more. Perhaps in the eyes of the independent cultivators below, the Qinghe Immortal Sect really wants to take over the Heikui Islands. However, Ye Linyuan knew very well that it was basically impossible for Qinghe Immortal Sect to fight to the death with Heikui Islands. Their ultimate goal was just to find the Bright Moon Shell and reduce the number of these low-level cultivators. Therefore, the Qinghe Immortal Sect asked the families and independent cultivators under its command to disperse, which was essentially to let them fight the monsters of the Heikui Islands on their own. These cultivators won the battle, killed the monsters and obtained treasures and spiritual treasures, but the Qinghe Immortal Sect would not care, but would instead encourage and reward them. Because these cultivators live in the Qinghe Islands, whenever they need to trade or buy elixirs in the future, the Qinghe Immortal Sect can squeeze a portion of them through taxation and other means. After all, as the overlord of the Qinghe Islands, the Qinghe Immortal Sect monopolizes almost all the means of production in the Qinghe Islands, and most of the elixirs and magical weapons here are also produced by the Qinghe Immortal Sect. As for the deaths of these monks in battle, it just happened to ease the environmental pressure on the Qinghe Islands. In fact, the same is true for the foundation-building monsters in the Heikui Islands. For them, the increasing number of these low-level monsters is also a very unstable factor. (End of this chapter)
