Chapter 367: Hunting Moment
After hiding in the cave, Wei Yuan finally had time to examine the surrounding environment.
The cave was not large, only a few zhang deep, and Wei Yuan casually manifested a stone to seal the cave entrance. This rock had its own concealment function, so Wei Yuan could be considered relieved.
When that terrifying will descended just now, it brought a message: any powerful living being walking in the night would attract the hostility of this heaven and earth and be ruthlessly destroyed. This message appeared directly in the primordial spirit, without needing words, and could be interpreted by any intelligent race.
How intense the hostility of heaven and earth was, the Liao tribe's Great Shaman had already experienced last night; even a Great Cultivator of the Imperial View resisted extremely hard, and Wei Yuan did not want to experience it again, nor could he afford to experience it.
Hiding in the cave, finally able to breathe a little, Wei Yuan suddenly felt indescribable fatigue, nearly falling into a deep sleep on the spot.
Fleeing continuously for a whole day, Wei Yuan's spirit was tense at every moment, and he felt his heart and spirit were exhausted.
However, now was not the time to sleep; his mind turned rapidly, pondering a strategy to escape. The hidden thunder of buried small flying swords could be used once but not again, and their power was too small, only able to beat the centurion into light injuries, definitely unable to do anything to the powerful Liao tribe chasing closely behind him.
The woman suddenly said: "At the moment the first ray of sunlight shines tomorrow, the living beings wandering in the snowy mountains will be sleepy, but they have not yet returned to their nests; that will be your only chance to escape. Your cultivation is not high, so it won't pay much attention to you, but the Liao people chasing you will definitely be watched by it, so if they dare to chase you, it will be a dead end. You will have half an hour to escape."
Wei Yuan ignored the woman and set up a formation on the ground, trying to remove the blood energy mark on his body.
The formation was set up, and Wei Yuan had just put down a few spiritual objects when the woman picked up a spiritual object and placed it in another position, saying: "This place looks cold, but it actually hides the murderous intent of earth fire. You put this Yang object here, and the Yang nature is too strong; it must be placed in the Yin position to be balanced."
Wei Yuan suddenly understood, adjusted according to what the woman said, and sure enough, the formation was set up, and its effectiveness increased by at least thirty percent.
Wei Yuan was just planning to thank the woman properly for the past two days when suddenly his body stiffened and stopped moving.
At this moment, a powerful spiritual sense suddenly appeared in Wei Yuan's body, and then before Wei Yuan's eyes was another space. This was a tall and deep hall, filled with an ancient and decaying aura.
At the end of the hall sat a person on a high seat, wearing ancient clothes from the previous dynasty, looking at Wei Yuan with interest, saying: "I really didn't expect that I would have to wait so long to wait for you. But all of this is worth it; your physical body is rare in the world, and it should be used by me; it's not in vain that I haven't seen the light of day for these thousands of years."
At this moment, Wei Yuan could see everything in the hall again, so he knew that his primordial spirit had actually been pulled into some eerie space, and the damage to his physical body was not reflected in his primordial spirit. This hall was somewhat similar to the Gloomy Cold Realm, but the range was only this hall.
"Who are you?" Wei Yuan asked.
"You have carried the Primordial Blood Bead I left behind for so long, why do you still ask who I am? Hehe, I should actually thank you for your caution, sealing me in your body and not letting me come into contact with undead living beings. If not for this, I would have had to consume quite a bit more blood energy to pull you in. These blood energies can all be used to improve the cultivation of this physical body in the future; saving a little is a little."
Wei Yuan's heart was shocked, saying: "You are the ancestor of the Remnant Tribe!"
That person laughed, then got up and walked down from the high platform step by step. The cold light falling from the top of the hall illuminated his face. At this time, Wei Yuan saw his appearance clearly.
He looked like he was still middle-aged, with a short beard; he could have been called "refined and handsome," but excitement and greed distorted his face, making him look cold and crazy.
He slowed his steps as much as possible, slowed down the time to come to Wei Yuan's side, and said: "Back then, Emperor Hui worshipped Zi Ping as the Great Heavenly Master, choosing acupoints to seal qi to pacify the world. But he was muddled all his life and couldn't see that Zi Ping was harboring evil intentions. He exhausted the national treasury, selecting strange people to go to all parts of the world to seal qi, instead of using this money to select and train elite soldiers and recruit wise men; it is truly ridiculous, and it is no injustice that the vast heaven perished."
"I was originally just a Assistant Regional Commander in the Imperial Guard at that time, but suddenly fortune descended, and I understood that the time had come, so I took the initiative to ask to come to this extreme north place that no one was willing to come to."
"Hmph, that Zi Ping only knew one thing about the Dao of fortune and didn't know the other. He only knew that this place in the north was one of the earth vein nodes, but didn't know that this place was actually a Dragon Cave. I am a True Dragon descendant; fortune descended, and after awakening my past life, I naturally sensed the summoning of this place in the underworld. Zi Ping only thought that I and my tribesmen were all ordinary spiritual prohibition bloodlines, letting us come to this place to operate the formation he gave. Hehe, once we run this formation, we will merge with the formation and the earth, becoming living seals, never to be free. You should have already seen that formation in the ancestral hall."
Wei Yuan had already seen the viciousness of the formation at that time, but he didn't expect it to have such an origin. It was just that Wei Yuan didn't see the part about resolving karmic debt in the formation. After thousands of years, the resentment and karmic debt of the entire tribe had accumulated to become extremely terrifying. There was more than one such formation, and now that he thought about it, the original perpetrator, Heavenly Master Zi Ping, should have already had no descendants.
That person continued: "But I am a True Dragon descendant! This formation naturally couldn't do anything to me. Upon arriving here, I discovered that the Dragon Cave was deep underground. It was just that there were too many dangers in between, and with my cultivation at that time, I simply couldn't break through the heavy dangers to reach the Dragon Cave. So I followed the plan, modifying the formation to let my tribesmen and descendants explore downward generation after generation. And I hid all the blood energy and primordial spirit spirituality in this Primordial Blood Bead, borrowing the power of the formation to isolate heavenly secrets, only then being able to break through the lifespan limit and survive to this day."
Wei Yuan had been listening silently to this point, and then said: "You haven't spoken to anyone for a long time, right?"
That person was furious, saying: "A mere Dao Foundation, not even having awakened the hunting instinct, are you in such a hurry to find death? Then I will fulfill you!"
Wei Yuan said: "Wait! Even if you are a True Dragon descendant, haven't there been any eye-catching physical bodies in these thousands of years? Since you know the method of seizing the house and reincarnation, don't you know that after lurking for so long, the soul body will slowly dissipate, and finally become weaker and weaker, and even if the seizure is successful, it is impossible to break through the original limit?"
That person was stunned, subconsciously saying: "There is such a thing?"
Wei Yuan was also stunned: "This is common sense; you really don't know?"
That person was silent.
Wei Yuan paused for a moment before reacting. The Primeval Palace concentrated teaching, which was to teach students with the power of the entire palace; every teacher was a stunning figure in their respective fields, and many secret techniques that were not passed down in ancient times had already become common sense here in the Primeval Palace. Previously, the immortal cultivation world was all master-disciple inheritance; the teacher would know how much, and the disciple could learn how much, which naturally could not be compared with concentrated teaching. That person seemed to feel that he had lost face and said again: "This place is the location of the Dragon Cave, and it will naturally attract other True Dragon descendants to come. I am waiting for the rabbit here, and didn't I wait for you? After I seize your physical body and devour your primordial spirit, although the original foundation is damaged, it can be restored to its original state, and it can even go a step further! After I swallow you and refine you into my Dragon Guard, and then receive your True Dragon treasure, I will be able to hunt other descendants. Hahahaha, the road to immortality is right before my eyes!"
"Wait a moment!" Wei Yuan called out, and then asked: "What is a True Dragon treasure?"
That person had indeed not spoken to anyone for a long time, so he stopped and explained: "Every True Dragon descendant will bring fortune with them when they are born, and there will be a True Dragon treasure with them. This treasure is just an ordinary object in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of us True Dragon descendants, it can naturally see its extraordinariness and infinite wonders."
Wei Yuan's heart stirred, saying: "The old woman in the village gave me a bone; could that be your True Dragon treasure?"
"That's right. That bone is actually a True Dragon dragon bone, and there is still a bit of vitality inside that has not been extinguished. You are also a True Dragon descendant, so you should naturally be able to see it."
Wei Yuan said honestly: "I really didn't see it."
That person was stunned again, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.
Wei Yuan said again: "I also don't have a True Dragon treasure."
"This is impossible! Every descendant will have a True Dragon object by their side; even if it is not an object that accompanies them when they are born, they will naturally obtain it in the future."
Wei Yuan said: "You have been hiding in my physical body for a day, have you ever discovered a True Dragon treasure?"
That person was stunned and said: "There really isn't one. Do you have any immortal objects on you?"
!.
"I have some, but they are all immortal plants. Immortal plants shouldn't be True Dragon treasures, right?"
"That is naturally not. Our ancestor is a True Dragon, not a Green Dragon."
Wei Yuan suddenly asked: "So, have you never seen other descendants before?"
"... No."
"This is very obvious; I am not a True Dragon descendant, you made a mistake. How about this, you let me out, and we can cooperate in the future. After returning to the human domain, we will look for descendants together; after finding them, the physical body and True Dragon treasure will belong to you, and the rest will belong to me. Then you have to do one more thing for me, and the difficulty of this thing will be linked to the value of the True Dragon treasure, how about that?"
That person began to ponder.
Wei Yuan was not in a hurry, waiting patiently. After escaping this eerie space, he had plenty of means to re-seal the Primordial Blood Bead, making this old guy from the previous dynasty unable to come out. After returning to the human domain, he would prepare the materials and set up a soul-refining formation, and he could easily refine this old ghost.
If the old ghost didn't believe it, Wei Yuan could also swear a heavenly thunder poison oath, not afraid that he wouldn't believe it. After returning to the Primeval Palace, Wei Yuan would then face the tribulation, and the thunder tribulation corresponding to the oath could be easily resolved by the palace-guarding formation. Therefore, in recent times, more and more Immortal Sect disciples have sworn poison oaths, and they have become less and less credible.
Wei Yuan was certain that this old ghost didn't know the current trend.
This kind of old ghost from thousands of years ago was stupid without knowing it; in terms of knowledge and insight, how could he compare with the students taught by the Primeval Palace, the number one Immortal Sect in the world?
That person suddenly let out a ferocious laugh and said: "Almost fooled by you; you haven't even awakened your hunting instinct, so you naturally don't know my identity, nor do you know the True Dragon treasure. I also don't know where you hid the True Dragon treasure, but after obtaining your physical body, I will naturally know! Haha, the woman outside is also a peerless beauty in the world; wait a moment, I'll taste her first!"
The scene changed again, instantly becoming between the sea and the sky. That person soared into the air, turning into a floating Kun whale, opened his mouth wide, swallowed Wei Yuan's primordial spirit, closed his eyes, and slowly refined it.
But his belly grew larger and larger, as if something extremely heavy was constantly falling in his belly! The giant whale suddenly let out a mournful cry, its belly split open, and Wei Yuan fell out from inside.
Although the Kun whale had the ability to swallow the sky and the sea, swallowing Wei Yuan's primordial spirit in one bite was equivalent to swallowing an entire continent; the Myriad Miles of Heshan only manifested a corner, and it had already split its belly.
The Kun whale turned back into that person, not angry but happy, saying repeatedly: "Good, good, good, this foundation is unparalleled in the world! It should be that I, the ancestor, will soar into the sky! Let me destroy your primordial spirit!"
Wei Yuan didn't have time to react, and that person had already turned into a dark electric current, rushing into Wei Yuan's sea of consciousness, appearing on the Myriad Miles of Heshan.
The girl Yin and Yang suddenly opened her eyes and stared at that person!
That person was instantly scared out of his wits, saying in shock: "You have already completed one hunt!? You junior is insidious!"
He let out a scream, and the Yellow Springs Tripod in Wei Yuan's physical body suddenly shone brightly, and countless Yin souls rushed into the Myriad Miles of Heshan, protecting that person tightly. These descendant Yin souls had all been refined into Yin soldiers, each one helpless, their faces full of endless pain.

He let out a sharp scream, and the Yellow Springs Tripod in Wei Yuan's physical body suddenly shone with brilliant light, countless vengeful spirits rushing into the Ten Thousand Li Heshan to protect that person in a tight circle. These descendant vengeful spirits had clearly all been refined into ghost soldiers, each one unable to control themselves, their faces filled with endless agony.
