Chapter 487: Heaven and Earth Wonders — Clear Heart and Stabilizing Spirit Bell (Two-in-One Chapter)

A three-colored peacock can be purified into Five-colored Peacock Essence Blood. Li Zhangsheng does not possess a Demon Pet with the Five-colored Peacock bloodline, but he is very covetous of the Five-Colored Divine Light.

If he gains the ability to transform into a Five-colored Peacock, Li Zhangsheng will not only obtain the various abilities of the Five-colored Peacock, but his physical body will also be significantly enhanced.

The Black Tortoise excels in defense and can operate in water; the Five-colored Peacock can fly, and the Five-Colored Divine Light restrains Five-Element energy, possessing the peculiar function of taking in people and objects.

Isn't it desirable?

Regarding the nine slots for Divine Beast Essence Blood in the "Xuanji Nine Transformations Demon-Controlling Art," Li Zhangsheng already had preliminary ideas.

The Five-colored Peacock is one of them, but Spirit Beasts possessing the Five-colored Peacock bloodline are relatively rare.

At this moment, the Red Dragon and the Venom Wyvern flew over, both of them clutching the corpse of a flying Demon Pet.

Li Zhangsheng spent half an hour preliminarily processing this batch of Demon Pet corpses and began to check the spoils of war.

In addition to these Demon Pet corpses, the Treasures they carried were also a significant harvest, among which there was even a Top-Grade Treasure.

This was a three-foot-tall cyan pagoda with 13 levels in total, each level exuding swirling pale cyan mist.

This was a Wind Attribute Top-Grade Treasure!

Unrestrained Xun Wind Pagoda: A Top-Grade Wind-type Treasure, made primarily from Feilian bones with dozens of other materials as supplements, crafted through rigorous processes. It can increase the power of Wind Element skills by 60% and also comes with a cutting effect.

Feilian, also written as Feilian, is a divine bird capable of inducing wind. Its body resembles a deer, its head like a peacock, with horns and a snake-like tail, and markings like a leopard.

A Top-Grade Treasure can increase a single aspect of ability by 50% to 60%. This Unrestrained Xun Wind Pagoda is naturally a boutique among them, and it also comes with a very cost-effective cutting effect. It is unknown where Dou Hua obtained it.

Simply put, the cutting effect is almost equivalent to deepening wounds, causing a phenomenon of incessant bleeding; the effect can be described as excellent.

"If only it increased speed!"

Li Zhangsheng examined the Unrestrained Xun Wind Pagoda, still feeling somewhat unsatisfied, but he still handed the Unrestrained Xun Wind Pagoda to Aixi.

In this way, with Aixi carrying the Unrestrained Xun Wind Pagoda and the Xun Wind Bead, her speed would drop slightly, but her overall strength, especially her lethality, had improved significantly.

Besides the Unrestrained Xun Wind Pagoda, there were several other high-level treasures, which will not be detailed one by one here.

Li Zhangsheng found a relatively hidden place and couldn't wait to check those two Space Rings.

The area inside these two Space Rings was not small, both being several hundred cubic meters, with a large amount of items piled up inside.

Li Zhangsheng poured all the items inside out directly, and suddenly the treasures shone, forming a small hill made of various treasures.

Soon, these items were sorted and stacked by category.

The most numerous were naturally Soul Crystals, Demon Cores, and materials, among which were three Superior Soul Crystals and two Lord-rank Demon Cores, worth tens of thousands of Soul Crystals.

There were two Identity Tokens, one from Dou Hua and one from a Third Rank disciple of the Tiantai Sect.

"Crowned Flame Bird, burn them!"

Li Zhangsheng thought for a moment; he wanted to destroy these two Identity Tokens and some of the miscellaneous items belonging to those two people to avoid any hidden tricks, such as aura or tracking.

Even if the probability was low, it was still a hidden danger after all, and these things were useless to him anyway.

Under Li Zhangsheng's command, the Crowned Flame Bird spat out a flame that was red with a hint of white, landing on these miscellaneous items.

Identity Tokens are not easily destroyed and require a certain amount of time.

After collecting the vast majority of the spoils, two items remained in front of Li Zhangsheng: a Jade Slip and a bell.

Li Zhangsheng picked up the Jade Slip first and pressed it against his forehead; his consciousness immediately sank into it.

The next moment, images and scenes flooded into his mind frantically. Although the amount of information was large, Li Zhangsheng did not feel any discomfort, clearly still within his capacity to bear.

Within a few breaths, Li Zhangsheng opened his eyes, and there was a bit more joy in them.

This Jade Slip recorded an Advanced Secret Technique called Swift as Wind. From its name, one could tell that this was a secret technique to increase speed.

Swift as Wind: Increases a Demon Pet's speed by 50% for a short time; the duration depends on the user's realm.

Dou Hua was quite unlucky; before he could even execute the Swift as Wind Secret Technique, his Consciousness Sea was shaken, and he was then finished off by Li Zhangsheng in a few moves, leaving no time to use it.

This Swift as Wind Secret Technique was very useful to Li Zhangsheng, especially for sensitive Demon Pets like Aixi, Kailan, and Day and Night; naturally, there was no reason for him to let it go.

As for that bell, it was engraved with a large number of runes. Li Zhangsheng shook it casually, and the bell emitted a crisp and pleasant sound. He could feel a special power, and the agitated mood he originally had was directly smoothed out by this power.

Just as he was shaking the bell, the Clear Heart and Stabilizing Spirit Bell in Li Zhangsheng's Consciousness Sea suddenly fluctuated, emitting a series of bell tolls. He could feel that the Clear Heart and Stabilizing Spirit Bell wanted to break away from his Consciousness Sea.

"Could it be that these two are related?"

Li Zhangsheng thought to himself, his movements not slow, and he directly released the Clear Heart and Stabilizing Spirit Bell.

The next moment, the Clear Heart and Stabilizing Spirit Bell and the bell both emitted cyan light. A great force surged, and Li Zhangsheng could not hold onto them, watching helplessly as the two flew up and converged in mid-air.

Ding-a-ling~

In the blink of an eye, the cyan light vanished, and a bell toll that made one feel peace of mind upon hearing it echoed in the void.

The Clear Heart and Stabilizing Spirit Bell fell down and floated above Li Zhangsheng's head, while that bell had mysteriously disappeared.

Li Zhangsheng took down the Clear Heart and Stabilizing Spirit Bell and flipped it over, only to see that the bell inside had changed, becoming exactly the same as the bell he had captured earlier.

If he was not mistaken, the original Clear Heart and Stabilizing Spirit Bell was incomplete, and this accidentally captured bell was originally an important component of the Clear Heart and Stabilizing Spirit Bell.

In this way, the original abilities of the Clear Heart and Stabilizing Spirit Bell would inevitably be strengthened, and it was possible that some abilities would be added.

Li Zhangsheng immediately projected his Mental Power to encompass the Clear Heart and Stabilizing Spirit Bell. From the feedback of his Mental Power, he could feel that the Clear Heart and Stabilizing Spirit Bell was emitting energy fluctuations far exceeding before, almost not inferior to the Third-Grade Star Palace Lotus Platform.

"This is an unexpected joy!"

Li Zhangsheng had a smile on his face; with the grade of the Clear Heart and Stabilizing Spirit Bell increased, his cultivation efficiency would surely improve.

In an instant, the Clear Heart and Stabilizing Spirit Bell turned into a streak of cyan light, disappeared into Li Zhangsheng's Yin Tang acupoint, and re-entered his Consciousness Sea.

The Clear Heart and Stabilizing Spirit Bell, which was originally at the edge of the Soul Light Sphere, sank in quite a bit, reaching a level parallel to the Third-Grade Star Palace Lotus Platform.

At the same time, Li Zhangsheng also received a piece of information.

Clear Heart and Stabilizing Spirit Bell: Significantly slows down the consumption rate of energy during the user's cultivation, increases cultivation time; significantly exempts mental attacks; suppresses Consciousness Sea tremors; soothes soul injuries.

The Clear Heart and Stabilizing Spirit Bell had become the Clear Heart and Stabilizing Spirit Bell. Not only were its original abilities significantly strengthened, but it also added the abilities to suppress Consciousness Sea tremors and soothe soul injuries. In terms of value, it was likely even greater than the Third-Grade Star Palace Lotus Platform.

This was definitely an unexpected joy!

Such a coincidental thing, he actually ran into it.

Li Zhangsheng began to wonder if he had stayed with Ning Bizhen for too long and accidentally caught some of her luck?

Very quickly, Li Zhangsheng found a secluded spot and released all his Demon Pets to stand guard.

Li Zhangsheng prepared to comprehend the Swift as Wind Secret Technique to enhance his strength a little, especially his escape and pursuit capabilities.

Li Zhangsheng closed his eyes slightly, and the contents of the Swift as Wind Secret Technique surged into his mind.

Ever since advancing to the Fourth Rank, Li Zhangsheng's comprehension had improved significantly.

Before long, Li Zhangsheng had initially digested the operational methods and the experience of his predecessors regarding this Secret Technique, and he was confident he could quickly master the Swift as Wind Secret Technique.

In terms of complexity, how could the Swift as Wind Secret Technique compare to the Soul Grafting Secret Technique? The difficulty was not very high.

After adjusting his Mental Power to its optimal state, the Heart-Clearing Soul-Suppressing Bell hovered above Li Zhangsheng's head, continuously emitting bell chimes that calmed the mind and spirit.

Li Zhangsheng's fingers danced, moving like phantoms; ordinary people would be unable to see his movements clearly at all.

During this process, a large amount of Mental Power lingered around his fingertips, transforming into a large, illusory ball of Mental Power light.

As the light ball began to spin rapidly, mysterious and unfathomable runes were manifested, flying around Li Zhangsheng according to mysterious and unfathomable rules.

In less than five minutes, Li Zhangsheng condensed over a hundred runes at once.

Before the runes could dissipate, Li Zhangsheng changed his hand seals, and these illusory runes began to combine in a specific way, becoming increasingly condensed.

Hum hum~

Within a few breaths, a nearly tangible imprint took shape, and a humming sound echoed in the void, faintly resonating with the surrounding heaven and earth.

Looking at the Secret Technique Imprint before him, Li Zhangsheng smiled; he had not expected to succeed in condensing it on his first attempt.

The Secret Technique Imprint turned into a stream of light and instantly surged into Li Zhangsheng's Yin Tang acupoint; with Li Zhangsheng as the center, a profound and mysterious special ripple swept through the surroundings.

Dong dong dong~

The Heart-Clearing Soul-Suppressing Bell rang again, causing Li Zhangsheng's slightly vibrating Consciousness Sea to instantly calm down.

Hum~

A humming sound echoed in the void once more, and the Swift as Wind Secret Technique Imprint surged into the depths of Li Zhangsheng's soul, landing in a position equivalent to the Illusion Wings, Bloodthirsty Frenzy, Giantization, Mental Shock, and Bloodline Burning.

Li Zhangsheng took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes.

He looked up at the sky, where an illusory Sun Banner hung; this Secret Realm was attached to the Fairy World, so naturally, it had a projection of the sun.

The sun was right in the middle, indicating it was still noon; Li Zhangsheng did not linger and left the place directly.

His goal was very clear: to head to the center of the Secret Realm and see if he could find the inheritance of the Flame King Di Zhiyi.

Among this group of people, the strongest were Li Zhangsheng, Dou Yuanbiao, and Liu Xudong; if there truly was an inheritance here, their hopes were the highest.

Along the way, Li Zhangsheng did not forget to dig for Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure; these Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure all radiated strong energy fluctuations, otherwise they would not have caught Li Zhangsheng's eye.

After several hours, Li Zhangsheng moved closer to the central area, but his gains were not significant, mainly because he had not encountered anyone else.

At this moment, Li Zhangsheng stood at the entrance of a canyon; this was a fire-red canyon, fully a thousand meters long, radiating scorching high temperatures—the temperature was much higher than in the Ronghuo Forest, likely around sixty degrees.

The reason the temperature was so high was mainly related to the two volcanoes beside this canyon, one of which was still emitting black smoke, giving the impression that it could erupt at any moment.

Li Zhangsheng sketched the general shape of this canyon on his map and casually named it "Lieyan Zhijing."

"Once past Lieyan Zhijing, I should be able to enter the central area."

Li Zhangsheng put away the map and rode on the much-shrunken Aixi into Lieyan Zhijing.

To avoid scaring away the "little ones," Li Zhangsheng tried his best to restrain his aura to the Third Rank level and even had Aixi shrink significantly, to a body length of only three meters or so, making them look like a normal Third-rank Royal Beast Master.

Li Zhangsheng feigned vigilance on his face, looking cautious and guarded; terrain like Lieyan Zhijing was very suitable for an ambush.

Very quickly, Li Zhangsheng had to stop, because not far ahead, he saw a human corpse, as well as the corpses of several Demon Pets.

The clothing was tattered, the face unrecognizable, and the eyes wide open, as if a fierce battle had taken place before death.

Li Zhangsheng's expression instantly turned cold, because he could identify this as the attire of the Yuanling Academy.

Seven people from the Yuanling Academy had entered in total, each one a key cultivation target of the Yuanling Academy, and could be called the elite of the elite.

Among them, several had quite a close friendship with Li Zhangsheng.

Li Zhangsheng took two steps in one, arriving before the corpse.

Suddenly, a black shadow darted out from the collar of the corpse, striking straight at Li Zhangsheng's face.

Just as the black shadow was about to succeed, a jade-white right hand grabbed its tail, causing the sneak attack to fail.

This was a three-headed monster snake, no more than three feet long, possessing four Poison Fang that flickered with black light.

It turned out that Li Zhangsheng had never relaxed his vigilance and had sensed the three-headed snake and its data in advance from the feedback of his Mental Power, so he chose to play along.

This was a three-headed snake possessing the bloodline of Xiangliu; its toxicity was extremely strong, and once bitten, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Before the three-headed snake could continue its attack, Aixi slapped it; under the immense force, the three-headed snake slammed heavily into the rock wall, sliding down like a hanging painting.

A huge gash appeared on the three-headed snake's tough body, nearly cutting it into two.

Even though snake-type Demon Pets had tenacious vitality, it was impossible for it to survive after sustaining such a fatal wound.

Pfft~

Not far away, the sound of vomiting blood rang out.

"The target is tough, Big Brother, let's attack together!"

Following the sound, two figures rushed out from their hiding place; one of them had blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, and he was clearly the master of the three-headed snake.

The two came from the Langya Liu Clan and were biological brothers, known in the family for their tacit cooperation.

They did not hide their auras; among them, the ordinary-looking youth with blood at the corner of his mouth was a Third-rank Royal Beast Master, while the other heroic-looking youth had reached the Fourth Rank.
