“It’s better to use this Earth Rank High Grade Spiritual Artifact as little as possible; it consumes too much Spiritual Qi,” Ye Lin said, shaking his head helplessly as he looked at the small pagoda around his neck.
To unleash the full power of this Earth Rank High Grade Spiritual Artifact, one would need to be a Combined Dao Stage True Lord.
He could only unleash two or three tenths of its power at most right now.
One reason was that he wasn't qualified enough, and another was that his Spiritual Qi simply couldn't sustain the Earth Rank High Grade Spiritual Artifact.
In just over ten seconds, it had already drained most of the Spiritual Qi from his body; it was truly unbearable.
“Let’s go.”
Just as Ye Lin was about to leave, several unfamiliar figures appeared in front of the flying boat.
Three men and two women stood in mid-air.
The next moment, these three men and two women all knelt on one knee and cupped their fists towards him.
“Many thanks, Senior, for striking down the Blood Worms and saving hundreds of thousands of Human Race lives.”
The young man in front spoke, his tone filled with sincere gratitude.
“No need for such courtesy, it’s what I should do. By the way, you said these things are called Blood Worms?”
“Yes.”
“Come up and talk.”
After Ye Lin spoke, these individuals cautiously boarded the flying boat, their eyes filled with envy as they looked at the flying boat beneath their feet.
However, upon seeing Ye Lin, their eyes were filled with respect.
“Senior, my name is Lu Daosheng. We are from the Hundred Battle Spear Sect. These are my Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters.”
“Senior.”
After Lu Daosheng finished speaking, the people behind him did not dare to hesitate and bowed to Ye Lin.
“Hmm, what exactly is the deal with these Blood Worms?”
When Ye Lin finished speaking, Lu Daosheng had a bitter smile on his face.
“Senior, these Blood Worms were created by the Blood Taoist’s blood sacrifice a thousand years ago. A thousand years ago, a Soul Transformation Stage grand Cultivator named Blood Taoist suddenly appeared in our Barren Region.”
“He was skilled in various Gu arts involving insects and excelled at raising various insects into Shi Xue Gu Worms. The Blood Taoist wreaked havoc throughout the entire Barren Region and was eventually deemed intolerable by all major forces, who dispatched powerful Cultivators to eliminate him.”
“Ultimately, the Blood Taoist was eliminated, but the Shi Xue Gu Worms he left behind could not be dealt with because all Shi Xue Gu Worms obeyed a Queen Worm.”
“However, after decades of searching, none of the major forces found the Queen Worm. In the end, they could only conclude that the Queen Worm must be in the Blood Taoist’s cultivation retreat, and thus, they had no choice but to Seal all of the Blood Taoist’s cultivation retreats.”
“But a thousand years have passed, and for some unknown reason, someone opened the Seal, which caused the Blood Worms to gush out and wreak havoc in the Barren Region.”
“Over a thousand years, the number of Blood Worms nurtured by the Queen Worm is astonishing. The ones Senior killed are just a small portion of them.”
“We now need to immediately return and report to the grand Cultivators of our Sect. We specifically came to thank Senior.”
After Lu Daosheng finished speaking, he led his Junior Sister and Junior Brothers behind him in a deep bow to Ye Lin.
Just as Ye Lin was about to say something, a mysterious power suddenly surged into Ye Lin’s body.
This mysterious power nourished Ye Lin’s entire body. Instantly, not only did the Spiritual Qi Ye Lin had consumed from using the World Suppressing Treasure Pagoda return, but his Physical Body and cultivation also advanced a bit.
Although the improvement was very small, it was indeed an improvement.
This made Ye Lin extremely surprised. He was currently at the Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivation and Nascent Soul Peak Stage Physical Body. To make further progress from this foundation, the resources required would be enormous.
How could this mysterious power be so overbearing?
“What’s going on?”
Ye Lin was full of doubts, finally looking at the World Suppressing Treasure Pagoda around his neck.
The next moment, a message entered Ye Lin’s mind.
After receiving this message, Ye Lin finally understood.
After the World Suppressing Treasure Pagoda refines the captured creatures, it will refine them into a mysterious power, which is then fed back to the owner.
Seeing this, Ye Lin couldn't help but have some thoughts.
“Where is that Sealed land?”
Hearing Ye Lin’s words, Lu Daosheng was stunned and looked up at Ye Lin.
“Senior, it’s about ten li ahead.”
“Alright, it’s nothing. You all go first.”
After Ye Lin spoke, he came to the very front of the flying boat, looking into the distance.
“Senior, are you going to that Sealed land?”
Lu Daosheng cautiously approached Ye Lin, asking tentatively.
“Precisely. I’m going to take a look.”
Ye Lin nodded and said.
Since the World Suppressing Treasure Pagoda had this effect, why shouldn't he make use of it? Moreover, this mysterious power was truly too good.
Not only could it strengthen the Physical Body and Meridians, but it could also enhance cultivation. Even more incredibly, it could nourish the Nascent Soul.
This made Ye Lin, who had tasted the sweetness, couldn't help but have an idea: to suppress and kill all these Blood Worms.
“Since Senior wants to go to the Sealed land, then Junior will accompany Senior? Junior is familiar with all the terrain of the Sealed land and should be able to provide some assistance to Senior.”
After Lu Daosheng finished speaking, Ye Lin gently nodded.
Seeing Ye Lin nod, Lu Daosheng was overjoyed. After all, this was a Senior whose cultivation could not be discerned. If he could befriend him, it would truly be excellent.
“You all go to the Sect to report to the grand Cultivators. I will accompany Senior to the Sealed land.”
Lu Daosheng turned and said to his Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters behind him.
His Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters looked at Lu Daosheng with admiration. No wonder he was their Senior Brother; look at his discernment, truly admirable.
“Yes, Senior Brother.”
After speaking, the others all left.
Ye Lin then steered the flying boat towards the place Lu Daosheng mentioned.
The flying boat flew extremely fast; a hundred li was but a blink of an eye.
Looking at the village below, enveloped in black mist with visibility less than half a meter, Ye Lin turned to look at Lu Daosheng.
“Is this the Sealed land?”
“Yes, Senior, look. This black mist is all Blood Worms. They have already surrounded the entire village. This village was once the Blood Taoist’s hiding place a thousand years ago.”
“Now that the Seal has been broken, a large portion of the Blood Worms within have already scattered to the surroundings, but there are still an extremely large number of Blood Worms inside the village.”
“And in the very Central Region, there are hundreds of thousands of Blood Worms whose strength is comparable to the Foundation Establishment Stage.”
After Lu Daosheng finished speaking, Ye Lin’s eyes narrowed slightly as he looked towards the Central Region. Indeed, there were hundreds of thousands of fist-sized Blood Worms gathered there.
In terms of strength, as Lu Daosheng said, they had Foundation Establishment Stage strength.
In this situation, let alone a Golden Core Stage Cultivator like Lu Daosheng, even an ordinary Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator would not dare to rashly intrude.
The sheer number was too astonishing. While Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators might not fear them, once their Spiritual Qi was exhausted, all that awaited them was death.
“Since this is the Blood Taoist’s hiding place, there must be treasures he collected during his lifetime, right?”
After Ye Lin spoke, Lu Daosheng rubbed the back of his head.
“Senior is right, but a thousand years ago, the Blood Taoist’s treasures were already mostly plundered by the major forces. However, from beginning to end, the Blood Taoist’s companion Spiritual Artifact, the Earth Rank Medium Grade blood fiend flag, has never been found.”
After Lu Daosheng spoke, Ye Lin fell into contemplation.
A thousand years ago, the major forces did not find the Queen Worm, nor did they find the blood fiend flag. These two must be together.
As long as the Queen Worm was found, the blood fiend flag could be found.
And the Queen Worm was right here. Thinking of this, Ye Lin began to act.
Perhaps, he might truly encounter an unexpected pleasant surprise here.
