772. Chapter 770: Exploration of the Mystery of the Alien Species

He felt that only through his own efforts could he find a cultivation path suitable for himself.

While waiting for Su Liyan to further analyze the results of the alien species' bones and the mysterious bead, Lu Yuan began preparing to delve deeper into the mystery of the alien species.

He reviewed the various alien species he had encountered in the past, and carefully contemplated the possible connections and patterns among them.

The entire battle process replayed in Lu Yuan's mind; he carefully recalled each clash, each method and means of dealing with the alien species.

He tried to find similarities among the alien species, as well as common methods to deal with them.

Lu Yuan realized that within the alien species there existed different energy fluctuations and attributes.

Some alien species possess fire attributes, while others lean toward ice or lightning.

This made him understand that choosing the appropriate immortal technique to deal with different alien species is crucial.

Lu Yuan began studying various immortal techniques, especially those matching the attributes of the alien species he had encountered.

He gained an in-depth understanding of the characteristics and usage of each immortal technique, and through simulating actual combat he tested their effectiveness against alien species of different attributes.

On a fine morning with gentle wind and bright sun, Lu Yuan put his learned knowledge into practice.

He entered a forest and set up a simulated battlefield.

Here, he would face virtual alien species with various attributes.

He first tested the Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Formation, a powerful and complex immortal technique.

By employing the Five Elements Escape Technique and the Thunder Fire Sword technique, Lu Yuan initially grasped the intricate and subtle coordination between them.

However, when facing ice- and fire-attribute alien species, he felt his use of the immortal technique was somewhat sluggish, failing to achieve the expected effect.

Lu Yuan did not lose heart; instead, he began trying other immortal techniques.

He tried Su Liyan's ice-attribute immortal technique and combined it with his own adept Thunder Fire Sword technique.

In actual combat, he delightedly discovered that this combination was very effective against ice- and lightning-attribute alien species.

The Ice Crystal Long Whip laid the foundational steps for his engagements with ice-attribute alien species, while the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword granted him powerful attack and flexibility.

Lu Yuan also tried other immortal techniques in order to find the cultivation method most suitable for himself.

In practice, he gradually mastered the changes and conversion methods among various immortal techniques.

No matter what attribute alien species he faced, he could adapt on the fly and select the appropriate immortal technique to respond.

Lu Yuan and Hong Lietian had been running back and forth for a long time in the mountains east of Bixiao Town, yet they had never been able to find the rare ore.

Each time they excavated with high hopes, they could only harvest some ordinary stones and common ore.

This left both of them disheartened, unsure whether they should continue searching.

However, just as they were about to give up, a special ore flashing with a yellowish earthen light appeared before their eyes.

This ore exuded a rich earth-attribute energy, giving a sense of profundity and steadiness.

Hong Lietian immediately realized that this special ore was extremely suitable for forging high-grade defensive fobao.

He jumped up excitedly and said he planned to use it to strengthen the protective formation of the Youhun Sect.

"This special earth-attribute ore is very precious and can provide powerful shield power."

Hong Lietian exclaimed excitedly, "We will be able to craft magical artifacts capable of facing any powerful enemy!"

Lu Yuan also could not help but be infected by Hong Lietian's excitement; he realized that this ore would be of great help to his own cultivation.

He decided to treat it as a challenge, refining and utilizing the earth-attribute energy to enhance his own strength.

The two carefully took the ore and began searching the mountains for more of its kind.

They noticed that these special ores are usually hidden deep in caves or on cliffs.

Finding them requires patience and perseverance.

After a search, Lu Yuan and Hong Lietian finally collected a sufficient quantity of the special ore.

They returned laden with their harvest, preparing to go back to Lei Huo Dan Ge for further experiments and operations.

Upon returning to Lei Huo Dan Ge, Hong Lietian immediately organized the artisans to begin crafting the magical artifacts needed for the protective formation.

Lu Yuan, meanwhile, focused on understanding and mastering the earth-attribute energy.

To better master the earth-attribute energy, Lu Yuan decided first to merge himself with it.

He sat down quietly, closed his eyes, began to circulate the Five Elements Escape Technique, and mobilized the spiritual power within his body.

As the spiritual power began to circulate, Lu Yuan felt a strong earth-attribute energy surging within his body.

He immersed his consciousness in it, beginning to converse with this power.

"Earth represents stability and firmness."

Lu Yuan silently chanted in his heart, "I hope you can lend me your strength so that I may be more stable in cultivating immortal techniques and in battle."

He felt the earth-attribute energy responding to him, as if merging into one.

Lu Yuan gradually mastered the way to use the earth-attribute energy, able to manipulate the ground's rocks, soil, and vegetation with his spiritual power to create a domain of his own.

On the way back, Lu Yuan and Hong Lietian remained highly vigilant, ready at any moment to respond to any sudden situation.

They knew that in this region where alien species are active, ambushes are common.

Suddenly, three alien species rushed out from the woods.

They possessed sharp claws and fangs, their bodies covered in hard scales.

This was their first encounter with this type of alien species, but they had no intention of giving them any chance.

Lu Yuan gripped his Thunder Fire Sword tightly, the corner of his mouth curling into a determined smile.

"Come on! Let me see how formidable you alien species are!"

Lu Yuan charged at one alien species, having already activated the Five Elements Escape Technique.

Hong Lietian immediately mobilized his internal earth-attribute energy, forming a thick earthen wall to protect himself.

He turned to face the other two alien species and launched an attack with the Cold Jade Ice Shard.

The fierce battle began.

They engaged in a brutal fight with the alien species.

Lu Yuan nimbly dodged the alien species' attacks and, using his superb Jiànshù, defeated them one by one.

Hong Lietian's earthen wall defense was as solid as rock, able to block the alien species' attacks.

Meanwhile, the Cold Jade Ice Shard, using ice-element power, helped him control the situation and inflicted severe damage on the enemy.

After a fierce battle, Lu Yuan and Hong Lietian finally succeeded in repelling the alien species.

They immediately relayed this information to the guards of Bixiao Town.

Soon after, Zi Xi'er led the elite of the Ziyun Clan to the stronghold at the Ziyun Clan's border.

It was said that the place had been attacked by the alien species, and many clansmen were injured.

Zi Xi'er was anxious and urgently needed to rush back to provide support.

Lu Yuan, Hong Lietian, and Su Liyan also subsequently left Bixiao Town and went together with Zi Xi'er to the stronghold.

On the way, Zi Xi'er introduced them to the situation of the stronghold's attack.

She told them that, under the alien species' attack, the stronghold's strength was extremely weak and urgently needed their support. (End of chapter)
