Chapter 132: Meeting Xuanyuan in Yingzhou

~13 min read 2,433 words

The water surface was vast, full of crimson smoke and waves, and the opposite shore could not be seen.

The Guardian Wife stood by the lake, on the ground full of three-colored spirit soil, and the jade hand forming the finger seal in front of her chest changed its mudra.

Instantly, the crimson blood energy in the lake, like gauze and mist, gathered toward her in wisps.

Li Youyi watched her, secretly thinking: "The blood energy here must have some kind of unimaginable power. Who exactly set up such a game here?"

If the Guardian Wife only needed blood energy, she would surely have appeared to collect it many times in the past. Moreover, wasn't the blood energy on the edge of the blood sea even thicker?

This crescent blood lake and the vast sea of bones must have a story.

It was just that his cultivation was not yet strong enough, so he couldn't see through it.

Li Youyi felt the blood lake was very dangerous and dared not approach, instead releasing magic power, intending to use it to sweep some back for his three masters to identify and study.

But as soon as the magic power approached the blood water, it merged into it and lost its connection.

Afterward, he took out a low-grade magic treasure, wrapped it in magic power, and extended it toward the blood lake.

"Splash!"

A wave struck the low-grade magic treasure.

The magic treasure was corroded into black.

After being pulled back, it had lost all its spirituality and turned into scrap iron.

Li Youyi felt a bad omen; this blood water absolutely could not be touched, and he was very worried that if he touched it, his flesh would dissolve and he would become one of the thousands of white bones here.

He dared not act rashly.

Instead, he dug for spirit soil, looking for immortal soil.

Having come here at great risk, he couldn't return empty-handed.

Here, the area around the lake was all three-colored spirit soil. Li Youyi used the iron book to dig frantically, continuously loading it into the blood-mud space, intending to plant medicinal herbs in it in the future.

Digging more than a meter deep, four-colored radiance emanated from the ground.

Li Youyi was overjoyed, knowing he had found immortal soil, and hurriedly reached out to scoop it up.

But as soon as his fingers touched the immortal soil, it was as if he had disturbed some taboo. On the blood lake, a harsh storm sound came, water waves rose several meters high and surged toward him.

The ground shook, and the water roared.

Li Youyi felt a terrifying pressure, and he saw the blood-colored water waves like a liquid high wall climbing onto the shore, sweeping toward him.

"Swish!"

A graceful red figure swept over.

The Guardian Wife appeared in front of the blood wave, cast a finger seal, and blasted it back.

Li Youyi, who had already fled ten zhang away, seeing that she had such ability, immediately turned back and, with lightning speed, dug out a large pile of immortal soil, loading it into the blood-mud space one after another. Then, he quickly retreated to the distance.

After the Guardian Wife beat back the blood waves eight times, the lake surface returned to calm.

She turned around, facing Li Youyi; he couldn't see what expression she had.

Li Youyi responded with a calm gaze; what a joke, you were the one who insisted on following. Now that you are there absorbing blood energy, I took such a big risk, do you expect me to return empty-handed?

A moment later, the Guardian Wife returned to the lakeside, formed the finger seal again, and absorbed blood energy.

More than ten li away from this place, under that skull as huge as a sacred mountain, Chan Hai View Mist, also dressed in red, sat by the lake, breathing and inhaling, absorbing the blood energy in the lake in wisps.

Her flesh had already grown out, her skin as white as jade porcelain, but shrouded in blood mist, her body was hazy, and her features could not be seen.

Sensing the commotion from afar, Chan Hai View Mist suddenly opened her eyes, her red lips parted, and she said softly: "They are here!"

Li Ling, who was digging for spirit soil, stopped and asked: "Who?"

"Let's go, I have temporarily forged a physical body and can continue to move forward according to the path of cultivation of past creatures. I don't need to show my cards to him right now. The timing is wrong!"

Chan Hai View Mist’s eyes were deep; she stood up, her figure very tall, looking extremely young in the haze, as if only eighteen or nineteen, her long black hair tied loosely behind her back with a hairband.

Her gaze pierced through layers of blood mist and saw the five-colored small island in the center of the blood lake, muttering to herself: "An island made of five-colored divine mud, what kind of great existence set up such a game here?"

Only digging for spirit soil would not disturb the blood lake, so Li Youyi naturally wouldn't be polite.

This thing was also very precious, and many people would definitely buy it.

Half a day later, Li Youyi didn't know how many catties he had dug, gradually losing interest, and sat down to rest, exhausted.

"This place is so extraordinary, yet I am tired from digging the most inconspicuous mud. Will I be mocked by her?"

Li Youyi shook his head with a self-deprecating smile, stood up, and prepared to explore the lake.

Walking six or seven li, a large number of coffins appeared by the lake, all placed and piled up haphazardly.

Among them was one huge and special one, cast from white silver, with silver radiance spraying from inside.

It was precisely because he saw it that Li Youyi did not detour, wanting to get to the bottom of it.

"Is it really that otherworldly coffin from Immortal Burial Town? Was it carried here by those departed spirit townspeople?"

After Li Youyi approached, he flew up and saw an eleven or twelve-meter-long white silver giant skeleton lying in the coffin. Inside the skeleton, it was as if a galaxy was flowing, dazzling and blinding.

"Stars as a heart, silver as bones."

Li Youyi was unsure of the value of this skeleton, so he transmitted his voice: "Spirit Tablet Master, have you ever heard of the Silver Bone Heaven Clan and Immortal Law Stars?"

Regarding the origin of the white silver giant skeleton, he had heard Fang Tong of the Earth Wolf King Army mention it once.

A few breaths later.

The Spirit Tablet Master’s cautious voice came out: "Your Coffin Master says this matter is of great importance, and he wants to come out to check it himself."

Li Youyi realized that this skeleton might really be extraordinary, so he mobilized the Spirit Light Fire between his brows and brought Coffin Master and Spirit Tablet Master out.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

On the coffin and the spirit tablet, faint figures condensed one after another, a man and a woman, slowly approaching the white silver giant coffin. They discussed something in low voices while observing and studying it.

The remnant souls of the two masters had grown quite a bit under the nourishment of the Shaoyang Star.

Li Youyi guarded his surroundings, secretly observing the other coffins.

The coffins placed here were all quite special, with strange shapes, and some were already rotten and broken. He didn't know if they were all transported here by those departed spirit townspeople?

Yin wind blew, and some coffin lids were creaking.

In the center of this field of coffins, the ground was sandy, and the white fine sand area was hundreds of meters long and wide.

In the center of the sandy area was a solitary temple.

The temple door faced the blood lake, and he couldn't see inside.

Li Youyi walked over step by step, and at the edge of the sandy area, he saw a stone tablet with characters carved on it. The font of the characters on the tablet was very familiar, but he didn't recognize a single one.

Behind him, the Spirit Tablet Master’s voice came: "Careful! This sandy ground is a bit strange, the death aura is very thick, as if it forbids the existence of all living things."

Coffin Master stared at the stone tablet and chanted: "Meeting Xuanyuan in Yingzhou, accompanied by the Blood Moon Spring... It is the God of Jiuli, it is the God of Jiuli’s handwriting, it is the handwriting left by his old self..."

Coffin Master’s voice trembled with excitement, looking at the solitary temple in the center of the sandy area in the distance, then knelt and kowtowed.

Both his and the Spirit Tablet Master’s soul bodies were very faint, so faint that their features could not be seen, as if they could be blown away by a gust of wind.

No wonder it was familiar; these characters were the same font as the four characters "Jiuli Insect Valley."

Li Youyi was even more excited than him and asked: "Are these two sentences the content of the characters carved on the stone tablet?"

Coffin Master nodded deeply, his tone full of confusion, muttering to himself: "If the God of Jiuli is buried here, who is buried in the Jiuli Sacred Mountain? Or is it that the one buried here is someone else?"

He wanted to rush into the sandy area, but was pulled back tightly by the Spirit Tablet Master.

Li Youyi was also plunged into shock and confusion; the two terms "Xuanyuan" and "Yingzhou" were absolutely known to everyone in China.

When discussing the mythology and history of ancient China, the two words "Xuanyuan" could never be bypassed.

And the records about "Yingzhou" were even more numerous.

"Ten Continents Record" grouped it with Zuzhou, Yanzhou, Fenglinzhou, Jukuzhou, Liuzhou... and so on, collectively known as the Ten Overseas Continents.

Li Youyi digested the shock in his heart and comforted Coffin Master: "It’s just a solitary temple, I think the God of Jiuli is not really buried there, perhaps it’s just a mud body, or clothes and hat."

Coffin Master gradually calmed down, still staring into the distance, shaking his head: "No, that’s not a real temple, but a tablet temple. This place turning sandy must not be simple."

Li Youyi really wanted to throw a copper coin in to test it, but having had a previous lesson, he immediately dismissed the thought and said: "If the God of Jiuli is really buried here, he must not want to be disturbed by us. In the future, when I enter Longevity, we will come back to investigate."

"It is indeed too dangerous!"

Coffin Master nodded, suppressing the obsession in his heart, leaving reluctantly, and pointed to the white silver coffin: "Youyi, take it into the blood-mud space, it will be of great use in the future."

Li Youyi had long wanted to collect it.

The huge white silver coffin itself was of extraordinary value.

Coffin Master and Spirit Tablet Master looked at the boundless blood lake in front, their eyes full of apprehension, not daring to absorb blood energy as wantonly as the Guardian Wife.

Sending the two masters into the blood-mud space first, he then came to the side of the white silver coffin.

"Rustle!"

Just as he activated the power of the Buddha Relic space, a cold wind blew from the sandy area in the distance. Li Youyi felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, shivering all over.

Circles of spatial ripples dissipated, and the white silver coffin disappeared from its original place.

"This cold wind is too strange!"

Li Youyi felt as if he had seen some shadows just now, looked around, and saw only coffins, his heart not only bristling but he hurriedly fled the area, turning back.

Seeing the Guardian Wife, his heart felt a bit more settled; he shouldn't have picked up any dirty things.

"Forget it, let's not investigate for now!"

Li Youyi sat cross-legged by the lake, took out the Golden Spring, and prepared to take this time to temper his golden trace veins and break into the Five Seas.

One day later.

Li Youyi rushed out of the bone sea, followed the stone staircase, and quickly fled down the mountain.

It wasn't that he had encountered any danger.

It was that the taciturn Guardian Wife seemed to have absorbed enough blood mist and had strangely disappeared, and no matter what method Li Youyi used, he couldn't summon her again.

With her gone, how could Li Youyi dare to stay in that ghost place alone?

Originally, it was she who insisted on going, and Li Youyi didn't want to stay for a moment longer than necessary.

Going down the mountain, he walked extremely fast, almost running.

Along the way, he only took back the Spring-Gushing coins and silver money, leaving all the copper coins on the stone staircase.

Entering the giant stone statue forest, Li Youyi returned along the original route, exerting his vision, hearing, and smell to the limit, activating the invisibility and speed power of the night-traveling suit, fearing he would encounter the giant-headed humanoid monsters again.

Suddenly.

At the edge of the stone forest, he heard a familiar sound. He sniffed hard; it was the aura of Zuoqiu Baiming and Zuoqiu Lanlan.

They hadn't died at the hands of Xue Qi and the others? And they had escaped here?

Li Youyi confirmed that there was no aura of giant-headed humanoid unknown creatures nearby before carefully walking over.

Just as he approached, a blinding sword light stabbed out from behind a giant stone statue. Li Youyi hurriedly swung his sleeve to deflect it, saying: "It's me, Sima Tan!"

Zuoqiu Lanlan saw that the person was indeed "Sima Tan," hurriedly retracted her sword, her expression instantly changing from hatred to joy, and then to great surprise: "How are you still alive? How did you find your way here?"

Li Youyi looked at Zuoqiu Baiming, who was sitting on the ground, and found that one of his legs had been severed, his face extremely pale, the color of death.

"Where is Brother Tian?" he asked.

Zuoqiu Lanlan was both terrified and in great pain, her delicate body trembling slightly, her eyes red and swollen, tears welling up: "He was killed by them! Di Ran bit through his throat and even ate his flesh."
