Inside the courtyard of the seaweed house.
The Golden Spirit Ancestor's gaze fell on the back of the withered vine's hand and the flower basket magic weapon that Bai Xuantian had taken out, his expression full of solemnity.
Although this mark does not possess the power of a Nascent Soul cultivator, its methods are comparable to those of a Nascent Soul cultivator of the same level.
The mark contained a magical aura unlike any I had ever encountered before.
What is this?
The Golden Spirit Ancestor's eyes were filled with interest.
His own divine power poured out like water bursting from a dam.
boom!
Under the overwhelming pressure, the Nascent Soul stage cultivators, Ku Teng and Bai Xuantian, stood frozen in place, a hint of panic appearing in their eyes.
They thought that with the help of the Golden Spirit Ancestor, the marks on their bodies could be easily erased, but they never expected this.
This mark is so difficult to remove!
What kind of powerful figure is behind that little demon with the bright eyes?
From this perspective, it is quite possible that he is a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.
At that moment, a wisp of yellow light flew out of the mouth of the Golden Spirit Ancestor. After flying several feet, the light floated in the air and formed a yellow jade skull. The skull flew to the back of the withered vine's hand and opened its skull mouth.
An astonishing suction force emanated from it.
This continued for about fifteen minutes.
The white jade mark on the back of the withered vine's hand, which resembled a vine, had now disappeared.
A thoughtful look appeared in the eyes of the Golden Spirit Ancestor. The yellow jade skull transformed back into a wisp of yellow spiritual light and entered the Golden Spirit Ancestor's brow.
Everything around them instantly returned to calm.
"That's it?"
Old Ghost withered vines felt a sense of relief.
There was a mark on his body that looked like it was left by a Nascent Soul cultivator, which was like a sharp sword floating above his head. Now that it was removed, he felt much more at ease.
"How does it feel?"
"Is it still there?"
Ancestor Jinling looked at the withered vine in front of him and asked him a question.
He already had some guesses in his mind. The person who placed the mark behind it might not be someone from the lower realm. The kind of supernatural power and magic that the other party used could not be found in the Southern Yue Kingdom and the Eastern Ming Kingdom, or even in the surrounding cultivation countries.
If that's the case, then it's going to be a bit tricky!
Jinling Ancestor did not want to offend the person who planted the mark behind him, so he only tried to erase the mark on the withered vine. As for the mark on Bai Xuantian's body, he would not touch it, so as not to make enemies with the person behind it.
"It's gone."
"Thank you, Ancestor..."
The withered vine ghost used his Nascent Soul stage divine sense to examine his body inside and out, and indeed there was no trace of that mark left.
"That's excellent."
"You may go."
"I am tired."
After saying this, Ancestor Jinling took a few steps and lay down on the rocking chair. He took out the ancient storybook from his storage bag and slowly began to read it, looking quite leisurely.
Simultaneously.
A golden incense burner, about half a foot tall, flew out of the storage bag. The incense burner was engraved with many array marks, which were connected to each other, making it look very powerful.
Clearly, this golden incense burner was at least a magical artifact, from which wisps of calming and soothing fragrance emanated and drifted around.
In the blink of an eye.
The fragrance emanating from the incense burner permeated the entire courtyard.
"Um?"
Bai Xuantian stood there dumbfounded.
What about me?
"This ancient treasure in my flower basket is connected to my very soul; it is my natal magic weapon!"
The mark's aura was even mixed into the soul, making it impossible to remove.
Bai Xuantian watched as the Golden Spirit Ancestor turned the pages of the paper, and just as he was about to speak...
Sudden.
A wisp of Nascent Soul power surged from the ground beneath him, enveloping Bai Xuantian and freezing him firmly in place. Not only was he unable to speak, but even moving became extremely difficult.
"wrong!?"
"The marks on my body haven't been removed yet!"
When Bai Xuantian tried to struggle, he immediately sensed an extremely strong repulsive force emanating from all around him.
Swish!
Immediately, Bai Xuantian, who was in the courtyard of the seaweed house, transformed into a blue streak of light and flew away from the courtyard, disappearing from the island's territory a few breaths later.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, why are you walking so fast?"
The withered vine ghost stared blankly at Bai Xuantian, who was flying away in a hurry.
wrong.
Immediately, the withered vine ghost realized something: the mark on Fellow Daoist Bai's flower basket treasure seemed to have not been removed yet!
"Senior Kuteng."
"Please."
At this moment, the little blue turtle demon, who had been standing to the side for a long time, hurriedly spoke up.
Their ancestor had already given the order to leave, so they naturally had to ask this person to go.
"it is good."
"Senior Jinling, this junior takes his leave."
The withered vine ghost hurriedly nodded in response.
The senior Jinling, who was at the Nascent Soul stage, had already let them go. Regardless of what happened to Fellow Daoist Bai, the mark on his body had been removed. As for Fellow Daoist Bai, he could only hope for the best.
A moment later.
Hundreds of nautical miles away.
With a gloomy face, Bai Xuantian told the withered vine ghost what had just happened. He hadn't expected that Senior Jinling could send him hundreds of nautical miles away in one go.
"Fellow Daoist Bai."
"It seems that Senior Jinling did this on purpose."
"He probably sensed that the mark might cause him trouble."
"Under these circumstances, the Ancestor gave up on removing the mark from Fellow Daoist Bai."
After hesitating for a moment, the withered old ghost revealed his guess.
"It was done on purpose."
It's highly likely that Bai Xuantian understood immediately.
"What should we do!"
Bai Xuantian's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately sensed something was wrong.
If Ancestor Jinling is unwilling to lend a hand, then there are no Nascent Soul stage demon cultivators in the Eastern Sea Kingdom who are easy to talk to. Besides, that Nascent Soul stage ancestor has an eccentric personality.
If Bai Xuantian doesn't have something attractive enough for the other party, the other party definitely won't make a move.
"Run!"
"The fact that the Golden Spirit Ancestor was wary of it shows that the person behind that Spirit Eye Demon might really be a Nascent Soul cultivator."
"We're just unlucky."
The old ghost withered vines spoke with a sense of helplessness.
"run?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Xuantian's lips trembled slightly, and his eyes were filled with bitterness.
He had amassed so much wealth in the Eastern Sea and the Starry Sea, and had many of his own descendants; how could he simply run away like that?
"The Gate of Cloud Dreams!"
"Old Ghost withered vines spoke up."
Upon hearing this, Bai Xuantian's expression showed a hint of struggle.
The Gate of Cloud Dreams was the opportunity for the sea monsters from the Star Sea to seize the territory of the sea monster clan near the Eastern Sea Kingdom after they escaped from the Star Sea.
According to the records of the Starry Sea Demon Clan, every time the Cloud Dream Gate appears, the spiritual energy of the spiritual veins within a radius of 100,000 miles is completely devoured.
A few years ago.
Beneath the seabed of the Starry Sea, a thousand-foot-long, five-colored jade gate appeared. Just as the legends had said, the spiritual energy of the surrounding spiritual veins was rapidly dissipating.
And coincidentally, there is a fifth-order spiritual vein more than 3,000 nautical miles away from the Jade Gate.
That was originally the territory occupied by the Golden Spirit Ancestor.
There are also many fourth-order spiritual veins, which is why they came out of the Star Sea to compete for territory with the sea monsters near the East Sea Kingdom's cultivation world.
According to the ancient jade slips, the Cloud Dream Gate can exist for at least three years, and the longest it has ever existed was one hundred and ninety-four years. Each time it exists, it absorbs all the spiritual energy of the surrounding spiritual veins.
Moreover, the magical power within the bodies of all the sea monster cultivators who approach the Cloud Dream Gate will be further drained.
If this continues, it will cause their cultivation level to drop.
of course.
Many cultivators have also been interested in exploring the Cloud Dream Gate. Among the numerous records and rumors, at least dozens of Core Formation stage cultivators and over a hundred Foundation Establishment stage cultivators have explored it.
There are countless cultivators who have mastered Qi cultivation.
As for Nascent Soul stage cultivators, there are thirteen in total, including those in the early and late stages.
The result was that not a single cultivator was able to walk out of the Cloud Dream Gate, and how they fared inside remains unknown.
"It's not time for that yet."
"You can head north without going to the Gate of Cloud Dreams."
"After crossing the Nine Heavens Gale, there will be a chance to escape from the hands of that cultivator who is suspected to be in the Nascent Soul stage."
After hesitating for a moment, Bai Xuantian slowly shook his head and said.
Crossing the Nine Heavens Gale to reach other cultivation kingdoms is not difficult for Bai Xuantian, a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
However, his direct descendants were unable to escape and were trapped in the cultivation world of Dongming Kingdom.
"Withered vine."
"After I leave, please take care of my descendants and clansmen for me!"
Bai Xuantian gazed intently at the withered vine ghost before him.
The source of this mark is on this withered vine ghost. If it weren't for this withered vine ghost causing me trouble, this Nascent Soul stage mark wouldn't have fallen on me.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, please rest assured, I am willing to swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao."
"If Fellow Daoist Bai leaves, I will take care of all of Fellow Daoist Bai's direct descendants and clansmen."
"Anyone who disobeys will be met with retribution from the extraterrestrial demons!"
When the withered vine ghost met Bai Xuantian's piercing gaze, his heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly took out a contract from his storage bag and spoke with unwavering conviction.
Seeing that the withered vine had made a vow to Heaven, Bai Xuantian's cold gaze softened slightly.
At this moment, the withered vine old ghost's heart was pounding like a drum. He knew very well that the trouble caused by this mark originated from himself. If he did not make a vow to the Heavenly Dao, this fellow Daoist Bai Xuantian might very well kill him.
He had no other choice but to do this in order to protect himself.
Immediately, the withered old ghost and Bai Xuantian did not linger there any longer. Instead, they transformed into two streaks of light, one white and one gray, and flew away from the place.
at the same time.
Golden Turtle Island.
Inside the seaweed-thatched houses halfway up the mountain.
The Golden Spirit Ancestor, sitting on the wooden rocking chair, narrowed his pupils slightly, as if he had sensed something.
In the blink of an eye, a wisp of yellow spiritual light flew out from between the eyebrows of the Golden Spirit Ancestor.
The spiritual light transformed into a yellow jade skull. At this moment, a faint white jade vine mark appeared between the skull's eyebrows. Although the circular mark was only an outline, it was still visible.
But when Ancestor Jinling saw it, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"What exactly is this thing?"
Jinling Patriarch stood up.
How could this stuff possibly contaminate me?
...
...
The Kingdom of Nanyue.
Yunzhou.
Sanxian Mountain.
Inside the Xiaoxuandu Cave Taoist Temple.
Warehouse.
Lin Li, dressed in a green robe and sporting a yellow, hairy face, walked around the small warehouse.
The warehouse contained only a few simple wooden frames.
The wooden shelf held some simple items, which Lin Chuan had casually picked up when he left the Fallen Immortal Valley.
Now that Lin Li has the array plate and spirit talisman of the Little Xuandu Cave, he can freely enter and exit the Little Xuandu Cave.
Lin Chuan chose to go into seclusion to cultivate. He let Lin Li familiarize himself with the environment in the Xiao Xuandu Cave and also taught him a cultivation technique related to pupil techniques.
This cultivation technique can be practiced all the way up to the Nascent Soul stage and is called the "Mysterious Origin Dao Eye Scripture".
Lin Chuan suggested that Lin Li should slowly comprehend the matter.
Lin Li walked to a wooden shelf and looked up at it. On the shelf were two ancient jade slips and a purplish-gray insect egg.
"Insect eggs!"
When Lin Li saw the insect egg, his eyes lit up, and he reached out and picked it up.
Immediately, Lin Li took out a wood-type spirit pill and poured all the spiritual energy from the pill into the insect egg. In the blink of an eye, a wisp of spiritual energy emerged from the insect egg.
Then a prompt appeared in front of Lin Li's eyes.
[Inclusion successful]
[A fourth-tier superior bloodline, a nine-winged soul-devouring worm!]
In the blink of an eye, a crimson-red centipede with a dragon's head and a centipede's body appeared on the Reincarnation Plate. It exuded an extremely strong aura of a perfect Nascent Soul stage cultivator, and its nine pairs of huge, light purple insect wings were folded up on its back.
The centipede dragon, which was over ten zhang long, circled in the air a few times before landing on one side of the Reincarnation Disc.
A late-stage Nascent Soul insect demon.
Lin Li's eyes lit up when he sensed the aura of the Nascent Soul stage perfected insect demon.
This is truly worthy of being the storeroom of Xiaoxuandu Cave. Among the items that Lin Chuan casually rolled up, there was actually a late-stage Nascent Soul insect demon hidden inside.
"continue."
Lin Li's eyes lit up.
They then began searching the warehouse again to see if there were any other spiritual bloodlines that could be collected.
The power of divine consciousness spread out.
"Are these live animal eggs?"
Lin Li took a step forward and instantly appeared in front of a wooden shelf next to the warehouse. At the bottom of the shelf was a purplish-red beast egg about half a foot in diameter.
Like a swollen, purplish-red balloon.
Bang bang bang!
Upon closer inspection, one can feel the powerful pulsation emanating from the beast egg, like the sound of a drum being struck repeatedly.
When Lin Li's divine sense landed on the beast egg, it was blocked by the beast egg.
However, even without being able to use divine sense to investigate, one can still sense the powerful life force emanating from the beast egg, indicating that it is at least a spiritual life form at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
