Chapter 684: Refining Shadow Demons on the Strange Battlefield, Dao Lord Turns His Thoughts to the Blood Phoenix

The You Jing is the surface layer of the Opening Gui Xu; according to the Weitian Dao Sect's classification, this is the First Layer of Opening Gui Xu, where cultivators below the level of deities, after their bodies fall, have their dharma realms and divine realms often plummet here and transform into strange lands.

And because of the differing dharma arts and fundamental laws cultivated by the cultivators, all manner of bizarre monsters are born—such as strange beasts and strange weapons being the most common.

The Ying Mo is among the rarest of these; they are often deeply obsessed, having absorbed an excess of incense and offerings, and though they possess a sliver of spiritual intelligence, they are paranoid and mad.

"Although the Ying Mo retains some memories of its former life, it is in truth a thing nurtured by the Opening Gui Xu. Slaying it by ordinary means will only cause it to be reborn from the strange land; even if one destroys the strange land along with it, there remains the possibility that the Opening Gui Xu will nurture it anew…"

Within a faint, half-real shadow, Li Yuan walked slowly toward the Nine-Layer Xia Lou, his mind surfacing all manner of intelligence regarding the Ying Mo as he deliberated on how to deal with Yun Yun Yeshan.

Behind him, wisps of demonic shadow hid within the dark shadows—these were precisely the various Black Cloud Dao Soldiers he had devoured within this strange land, transformed.

These were demonic shadows; released outward, they could aid him in devouring all things and withstanding harm; refined into the Ying Mo Shen, they could strengthen its body and nourish its Ying Mo Fa magic power.

Li Yuan had devoured all the way, expanding the Black Cloud divine patterns to the limit a Dao Er Jing Ying Mo could control, and after refining eighty-one strands of Ying Mo Fa magic power, he began to refine these demonic shadows.

Now, wisps and strands drifted about his body, floating outward, already numbering in the tens of thousands.

"Were it not for the limits of my realm, the Ying Mo Shen would already be at Yi Shi San Jing by now."

Below the tower ship, Li Yuan paused to observe the slaughter between Yun Yun Yeshan and the strange land of the mountain cave, while a fraction of his mind felt out the eighty-one strands of magic power refined within the Ying Mo Shen.

The Ying Mo Fa magic power was chaotic and disordered, without a single complete divine prohibition—belonging to the lowest grade of magic power—but this was because he had so far only devoured some demonic fiends and Black Cloud Dao Soldiers.

As the refined divine patterns increased, the might of the Ying Mo Fa magic power would grow ceaselessly, until it reached the strength of the magic power possessed by his main body—that was the upper limit.

"Boom!"

In an instant, a thunderous roar rang out a thousand li away; great swathes of strange beasts and Black Cloud Dao Soldiers fell like rain, and a ferocious black dragon nearly a thousand zhang long burst out from the mountain cave, soaring and rampaging, its dragon's roar savage and violent.

It was unmistakably a strange beast at Fa Jie Jin Si Jing!

The moment this beast emerged, Yun Yun Yeshan faced a dire threat, frantically urging his dharma arts, desperately squeezing the Nine-Layer Tower Ship, even drawing upon the Er San Jing Black Cloud Dao Soldiers that had been guarding the Nine-Layer Xia Lou.

"The chance has come!"

Li Yuan's mind stirred; he stepped out from the shadows, clad in blood-patterned black armor, virtually indistinguishable from the Er Jing Black Cloud Dao Soldiers guarding the tower ship.

"Go!"

At the same time, the tens of thousands of demonic shadows he had refined suddenly scattered, withdrawing from their shadow-form state, transforming into bloodstained demonic shadows that pounced upon the Black Cloud Dao Soldiers within the strange land.

"Hiss!"

Rolling black smoke surged skyward.

In but an instant, over ten thousand Black Cloud Dao Soldiers were devoured by the demonic shadows, then immediately transformed into even more demonic shadows that pounced upon the Black Cloud Dao Soldiers all around.

With such a great disturbance, Yun Yun Yeshan naturally detected it.

"What thing is this?"

Upon the tower ship, Yun Yun Yeshan felt both shock and fury in his heart.

Those black shadows had actually deceived him by mingling within the strange land's black fog; the moment they erupted, they instantly swept across the entire strange land, causing even him some alarm.

"Is there another strange land lurking in the shadows, coveting this old man?"

Yun Yun Yeshan's eyelids twitched wildly; he hurriedly mobilized the Black Cloud Dao Soldiers to protect himself and suppress the strange land's upheaval, but at that moment a dragon's roar exploded in the distance as that peak-San Jing black dragon came charging in with a frenzied howl.

For a time, he found himself stretched too thin, and the situation that had just turned favorable was reversed in an instant!

"Two strange lands, one open and one hidden—could there be another Ying Mo here besides this old man?"

Yun Yun Yeshan's thoughts raced; amid his shock and fury, he also perceived a tremendous crisis—for to fall into the hands of another Ying Mo would be more hopeless than death itself.

Yu Yu Xuanji, he had already made his decision in his heart: he directly recalled all his Dao Soldiers, abandoning the strange land ravaged by those black shadows, choosing instead to garrison the Nine-Layer Xia Lou.

"I must first break through that mountain cave strange land—only then can I suppress that hidden Ying Mo!"

Once his mind was set, Yun Yun Yeshan rose to his full height; the black fog around him churned, transforming into pillar after pillar of smoke that surged skyward, weaving together into a colossal banner-flag a thousand zhang tall.

Hum—

The banner-flag unfurled against the sky, snapping loudly in the wind; a dazzling black light instantly enveloped the entire Cloud Demon Strange Land.

"Eh?"

Li Yuan's heart stirred slightly.

He saw that beneath the shroud of that black light, all the Black Cloud Dao Soldiers underwent tremendous changes—their physiques grew robust and towering, and the patterns on their black armor became distinct.

In short order, the Black Cloud Dao Soldiers above and below the tower ship all advanced in unison: Yi Jing became Er Jing, Er Jing became San Jing, while Yun Yun Yeshan's aura instantly plummeted to rock bottom.

"Roar!"

The banner-flag snapped; the Black Cloud Dao Soldiers' auras surged violently, and within a few breaths they had pressed the mountain cave strange land into a disadvantageous position; that San Jing black dragon roared again and again, yet was visibly on the verge of being overwhelmed.

"As expected, he had a trump card hidden."

Li Yuan was not surprised—after all, in life he had been a cultivator at the Fifth Realm; possessing some methods was only natural.

His mind stirred; mingling among the Black Cloud Dao Soldiers, he shifted his position without leaving a trace, edging closer and closer to the ailing Yun Yun Yeshan, while outside the tower ship, those tens of thousands of rampaging black shadows boiled in concert.

A thunderous crash was heard, and the tens of thousands of black shadows wove together, transforming into a torrent that shot toward the tower ship above.

"Kill!"

Yun Yun Yeshan roared skyward, and atop the tower ship, several dozen figures strode forth.

They were Black Cloud Dao Soldiers several zhang tall, their faces savage and ferocious, their black armor bristling with barbs, each gripping a thick, heavy shield.

With a low roar, they formed ranks together, meeting the surging demonic shadow torrent with their great shields.

Rumble!

With a tremendous crash, even the Cloud Demon Strange Land shuddered violently.

The several dozen Black Cloud Dao Soldiers in formation all retreated in unison, while the torrent formed by the demonic shadows was shattered by a single strike, dissolving once more into Feng Feng Mantian demonic shadows—yet visibly far thinner than before.

"After all, they aren't true demonic shadows."

Li Yuan was not surprised either.

The demonic shadows he had refined from Black Cloud Dao Soldiers were of far too poor a quality; true demonic shadows were akin to the Ying Mo Shen itself—not only able to gather and disperse formlessly, but also capable of refining magic power.

"Although they aren't true demonic shadows, for now they are more than sufficient."

The moment Li Yuan's mind turned, those thinned demonic shadows that had scattered after their rout had already dispersed in all directions, plunging into the strange land, where a single sweep devoured great swathes of Black Cloud Dao Soldiers.

Yu Yu Xuanji once again charged toward the nine-layered cloud tower, this time scattering to all four directions!

"Seeking death!"

Yun Yun Yeshan watched, his eyelids twitching wildly. Seeing that shadow demons had actually broken into the tower ship, he could no longer hold back. While suppressing the strange cavern, he abruptly raised one hand.

Whoosh!

A violent gale sprang up, banners snapping in the wind.

Feng Feng Mantian's rolling black mist gathered, transforming into a great hand-print dozens of mu across, which slammed viciously toward the place where the shadow demons had gathered, smashing even the swaths of Black Cloud Dao Soldiers into dust.

When the Black Cloud Dao Soldiers perished, they turned into black mist that surged toward the nine-layered cloud tower; in only a few breaths they could gather and reform. Yun Yun Yeshan didn't care at all about collateral damage.

But before he could strike a few palms, his expression had already changed.

The Black Cloud Dao Soldiers he had smashed, though they became black mist, were actually devoured by those shadow demons—and Yu Yu Xuanji too turned into a shadow demon, pouncing on the other Black Cloud Dao Soldiers.

"What kind of strange beast is this?!"

Yun Yun Yeshan's face changed drastically. Just as he was about to cast another spell, he felt a sudden chill at his heart. He whipped his hand back behind him, but only smashed a patch of Black Cloud Dao Soldiers.

Startled, he suddenly caught sight of a clump of black mist pouncing on his own shadow—and Yu Yu Xuanji, feeling both heart and soul seized with agony, couldn't help but roar in fury and terror:

"Stop!"

"Stop, I am willing to submit to your command—we are both strange demons…"

"Ah!"

Li Yuan said nothing, only madly urging his magic power. Eighty-one strands of Ying Mo Fa Li transformed into rolling black smoke, completely drowning the furious, raging Yun Yun Yeshan.

"Dao Soldiers, protect me…"

Yun Yun Yeshan's eyes nearly split with rage.

The several dozen third-realm Black Cloud Dao Soldiers before and behind him roared one after another, looked around in a circle, and Yu Yu Xuanji charged toward the black dragon strange beast a thousand li away.

"…No!"

Seeing this scene, Yun Yun Yeshan nearly spat blood, but Yu Yu Xuanji had already gone black before his eyes and lost all perception of the outside world.

When a shadow demon devours, it goes from shadow to body and then to divine soul. Without a corresponding soul-protecting spell, one will inevitably have the soul devoured. Naturally, Yun Yun Yeshan, who had fallen into being a strange demon, had none.

Therefore, no matter how he struggled, he could only watch helplessly as he was swallowed by the black mist.

"A second-realm shadow demon devours a third-realm strange demon."

Within the dark shadow, having used the Ying Mo Shen to leave behind Yun Yun Yeshan's soul-will, Li Yuan finally relaxed inside.

Even with the aid of Wan Wan Zhuli's ten-thousand shadow demons, compared to Yun Yun Yeshan—who occupied the strange-cavern tower ship and was himself at the third realm—he held no advantage.

Even though the strange cavern tied up most of the man's attention, it was still so.

"It really has to be a sneak attack!"

Having won in a single battle, Master Li was inwardly satisfied, feeling that although he hadn't taken action for many years, his skill at sneak attacks had actually improved.

Hum~

The next instant, Li Yuan focused his spirit and looked within.

He felt all eighty-one strands of magic power within him boiling and burning. After devouring Yun Yun Yeshan, the magic power was restructuring and transforming, becoming visibly deeper and darker.

Yun Yun Yeshan, who had once been a fifth-realm cultivator in life—even if only one part of his foundation remained—was tremendous creation and nourishment for the current Ying Mo Shen.

In his perception, the Ying Mo Fa Li had become thick and pure. Though it lacked a complete divine prohibition, it faintly already showed some of the bearing of Zhong Pin Fa Li.

As for the divine pattern obtained from the Black Cloud Dao Soldiers, it grew brighter and clearer. After swallowing most of Yun Yun Yeshan's foundation, it trembled lightly and transformed into armor half black and half red, encasing the Ying Mo Shen within.

"Marvelous!"

The black mist gradually dispersed. Stuffing the fist-sized Yun Yun Yeshan into the dark shadow, Li Yuan stretched his sinews and bones, feeling that this armor had no sense of stiffness at all, moving as nimbly as his own skin.

With a single thought, he could also transform it into various weapons in his palm. Though it lacked the power of strange spells, its sharpness and solidity were no less than a top-grade magic treasure.

"Speaking of protective ability, it's already no worse than the Kunming Ten-Thousand-Layer Armor of San Shi Zhong Fa Jin!"

Li Yuan squinted, feeling the gifts from Yun Yun Yeshan. Apart from the Black Cloud divine pattern, he had also obtained two gong-tier spells, both around San Shi Liu Zhong.

One was 'Demon Cloud Banner'—when activated it could transform into Feng Feng Mantian's black mist and black light, which could empower Black Cloud Dao Soldiers and also blast enemies to death.

One was 'Cloud Demon Great Hand-Print'—turning mist into a palm, it could strike across ten thousand li, its might not insignificant.

"Roar!"

At this moment, a wail rose from afar. The third-realm black dragon, after slaughtering a great swath of Black Cloud Dao Soldiers, had finally exhausted itself and was beaten down by the Black Cloud Dao Soldiers, crashing to the ground.

This black dragon was extremely ferocious—even in its death-throes counterattack it swallowed a dozen or so third-realm Black Cloud Dao Soldiers into its belly. "This is also good stuff!"

Li Yuan's mind moved. Borrowing the spreading power of the Demon Cloud Banner, he crossed over a thousand li, raised his hand and pressed down in the air. With a great 'Boom—', a great hand-print several mu in size slammed down from the sky.

The black dragon only had time to let out one wail before it was beaten to death on the spot.

Then the Ying Mo Shen transformed into dark mist, pounced and wrapped around it. The black dragon visibly shriveled; within a few breaths it had turned to dust and vanished, becoming nourishment for the Ying Mo Shen's growth.

"This ink dragon hadn't swallowed few other strange beasts. Though not as good as Yun Yun Yeshan, it has about half of him… My Ying Mo Fa Li now has the quality of seven-tenths Zhong Pin Fa Li!"

Li Yuan transformed into human form, feeling the magic power within him full and complete—only three-tenths inferior to the Kunpeng magic power.

And after refining this black dragon, a dark light flickered in his eyes, and several more spells appeared. Of course, most were incomplete; only one was whole.

"Demon Dragon Art?"

At the thought, Li Yuan's body Yu Yu Xuanji rose into the air. Black mist churned beneath him, and he had already transformed into a thousand-zhang black dragon, soaring wildly and roaring, raising tidal waves of air.

"A Jiu Chong Fa Jin Demon Dragon Art."

This ink dragon's gift was far inferior to Yun Yun Yeshan's—only one jue-tier spell. But the Demon Dragon Art was naturally far stronger than the Crimson Blood Demon Ox Art.

Not only did it grant him an additional nine demon dragons' worth of strength, it could also use magic power to catalyze a shadow of a demon dragon. If the magic power sufficed, he could even manifest a peak third-realm demon dragon!

"Roar!"

Riding the dragon into the sky, with Wan Wan Zhuli's ten-thousand shadow demons following behind, wherever Li Yuan passed—strange beasts, Black Cloud Dao Soldiers, or numerous strange weapons—all merged into the black mist, becoming nourishment for his refining of spells and demons.

Before long, among the shadow demons he had refined, the first second-realm shadow demon had appeared, possessing one strand of extremely low-quality shadow demon magic power.

Shadow demons originate from the Ying Mo Shen; the former transforms by one part, the latter grows stronger by one part.

"Inexpressibly wonderful!"

Feeling the power constantly growing within his body, along with the fragmented divine runes and spells, Li Yuan's eyes grew brighter and brighter, deeply feeling that the Shadow Demon Art was truly the most suitable Second Primordial Spirit technique for himself.

With the support of the Pure Yang Treasure Tree, the Shadow Demon Art advanced rapidly; before the Fifth Realm, there were virtually no bottlenecks and none of the problems of loss of control common to Demon Arts.

The Demon-Refining Method and the Xing Tongyou Corridor provided the resources for the Shadow Demon Body to break through quickly.

"When the Great Yin reached the Fifth Realm, it forged eighty thousand Fourth Realm Demon Shadows; wherever it passed, grass and trees turned to ash, and all living spirits were annihilated... cultivators of the Yuan Ying Realm in the Fifth Realm were nearly invincible..."

Thoughts surged in his mind; Li Yuan let out a long breath, yet could not help but look toward the other strange lands.

Even toward the core battlefield where those various strange lands competed.

"This place is truly a treasure land!"

Suppressing the throbbing in his heart, Li Yuan rode the dragon back to the Cloud Demon Strange Land, dispatched Demon Shadows to gather the various resources of this strange land, and then took out the Yun Yun Yeshan, the size of a fist.

The Strange Demons were creatures born from the Return to Ruins; with his current means, there was truly no possibility of completely exterminating them. Leaving behind this wisp of divine soul to suppress it was the best choice.

"This Nine-Story Mist Tower is also no ordinary item; the First and Second Realm Black Cloud Dao Soldiers are of little use, but the Third Realm ones are not bad; most importantly, the cost is low."

Inside the Nine-Story Mist Tower, Li Yuan began to sort through what he had obtained.

After a great battle, the Cloud Demon Strange Land and that Cave Strange Land suffered a crushing defeat, while his gains were enormous; apart from three complete spells, fragmented divine rune spells were everywhere.

In addition, the fragmented memories of the Yun Yun Yeshan also needed to be sorted through a bit.

"Vmm~"

Li Yuan closed his eyes and perceived.

The memories of the Yun Yun Yeshan were intermittent, many very vague; the clearest among them were his three descents to the Great Fortune.

The first time, he was suppressed by the Dragon Demon Daoist; the second time, he was forced back by Pang Pang Wenlong; the third time, he was swallowed alive by the Blood Phoenix; after that came his encounters in this battlefield.

"The Dragon Demon Daoist..."

Li Yuan still had a deep memory of that old master; even though Pang Pang Wenlong said he had seen the strange land left behind after his body perished, Li Yuan suspected that old fellow was not dead.

For no other reason than the Enlightenment Saint Body.

In the past, when he did not know of Saint Bodies or Divine Bodies, he already felt that Enlightenment Body was extremely powerful; let alone now that he knew the weight of the Enlightenment Saint Body.

That was one of the rarest Saint Bodies, rare in both ancient and modern times.

"Back then, Dong Dong Ershisan was still in slumber; otherwise, the Eight Directions Temple would have opened long ago. That was the Enlightenment Saint Body..."

Having noted this matter in his heart, what Li Yuan cared about most was still this battlefield; he carefully flipped through the broken memories of the Yun Yun Yeshan.

Strange lands, chaos, slaughter, terrifying flames...

Among them, he even saw the figures of many cultivators, obviously the unlucky ones swallowed into the Blood Phoenix's belly; he did not know if they were dead or not.

"Hmm? That is..."

Li Yuan suddenly focused his spirit; in a corner of this memory, he glimpsed a familiar figure, a black robe covering the body, face unseen:

"The Thousand Eye Dharma Master?"

"Hoo!"

"Inhale!"

In the Small Cave Heaven, on the Qi-Gathering Platform, Li Yuan did multiple things at once; while perceiving the Shadow Demon Body, he was also practicing spells and refining techniques.

Amidst the threads of heavenly and earthly spiritual qi, the Bone White Demon Man stood on high alert, while two small gourd Dao Soldiers squatted on his shoulders.

Thanks to these fourteen Third Realm Dao Soldiers, Li Yuan had not even needed to make a move, yet had already obtained more than thirty various Demon Heads, most of them Second Realm.

"Inside the Blood Phoenix's belly, the Cloud Demon Strange Land, the Thousand Eye Dharma Master..."

Li Yuan sorted through his gains in his heart; even he could not help but whistle in amazement.

In less than a day, the Shadow Demon Body had already reached the peak of the Second Realm, forged thousands of Demon Shadows, and gained three additional spells with high-level magical prohibitions.

"If it could swallow all the various strange creatures in that battlefield, no, even if it swallowed just one-tenth, it would be enough for the Shadow Demon Body to advance to the Fifth Realm."

Li Yuan calculated in his heart.

Even though limited by his own realm, the Shadow Demon Body could not break into the Third Realm, the various resources it swallowed would not be wasted; instead, they would be stored within the Demon Shadows, ready to be called upon at any time.

Only when he broke through to the Third Realm would the Shadow Demon Body naturally be able to break through to the Third Realm.

And even if he did not break through now, the Shadow Demon Body's swallowing of various strange creatures could continuously purify its own magic power and adjust the combination of various spells.

"The Shadow Demon Body is temporarily inconvenient to recall; if the Xing Tongyou Corridor leads to the next strange land, all the resources inside the Blood Phoenix's belly would be wasted."

Li Yuan adjusted his plans for the Shadow Demon Body in his heart; just as he was about to stop practicing and end today's spell refinement, his mind shifted.

"Woo~"

In the void, ripples rose; a wisp of breeze wandered through the mist-like heavenly and earthly spiritual qi. It swept over the twelve Bone White Demon Men in the mist, sneered once, and transformed into a wisp of heavenly and earthly spiritual qi.

Drifting, it was about to merge into Li Yuan's body.

Neither the Bone White Demon Men nor the Gourd Dao Soldiers noticed this at all.

"Qi Demon?"

Suddenly, a slightly surprised voice rang out.

"Hmm?!"

That Demon Head was startled in his heart; immediately, he felt excruciating pain all over his body and could not help but let out an anguished cry.

"Good luck; a Second Realm Qi Demon."

Li Yuan spread his palm; a tiny stream of water spun in his palm, locking a formless and intangible Demon Head within it; it was the Shan Xuan Gang Heavy Water.

The Qi Demon was a relatively rare Demon Head; among those of the same Second Realm, compared to Son Demons, Ape Demons, or Tiger Demons, it was far more precious, and its value was naturally higher.

Since beginning the path of Demon Refining, Li Yuan had borrowed a large number of books about Demon Heads in the Tian Mo Fa Jie, among which were those concerning this Qi Demon.

"This is excellent material for forging the 'Formless Sword'."

Casually putting away this Qi Demon, he then released two streams of Kunpeng magic power as a reward for the two small gourd Dao Soldiers; Li Yuan ended today's practice and spell refinement.

Putting on the white bone bracelet, he returned to the small courtyard.

Inside the courtyard, Li Yi had already prepared the spiritual meal and served it to him.

After the meal, Li Yuan returned to the bamboo tower, stirred his mind slightly, entered the Ni Wan Shen Jing, and with practiced ease ignited the divine furnace to refine all the demons except the Qi Demon.

"Voom~"

Not long after, the divine furnace extinguished.

Li Yuan reached out and grabbed the refined pure qi; as usual, he left the demon bone for the White Bone Demon, fed the blood qi to the Shan Xuan Vine Tree, and fed the killing qi to Bai Hu, who devoured it in large mouthfuls, its body growing larger once more.

"A few more times, and Bai Hu will be usable; at that time, I can condense the true form of the Nine Infants, and after that comes the Red Emperor's Heart-Flaming Ape..."

"Kunpeng and the Nine Infants belong to the Black Emperor's Nether Abyss Scripture, the Heart-Flaming Ape belongs to the Red Emperor's Fire Phoenix Scripture, and Bai Hu belongs to the White Emperor's Dry Metal Scripture; for the subsequent spiritual forms, it is best to choose the true forms corresponding to the Green Emperor's Longevity Scripture and the Central Ultimate Yellow Emperor's Thick Earth Scripture."

"Regardless of whether I can obtain that Profound Origin Five Extremities Dao in the future, making preparations in advance is never wrong."

While feeding Bai Hu, Li Yuan was also sorting out his path ahead.

For him, the Divine Palace realm held no bottleneck; what he considered was using the Nine Heavens to refine nine sceneries into a Jin Dan, laying the deepest foundation for cultivating the Law of Heaven.

At the same time, he must plan his nine spiritual forms, which concern the 'Nine Phases Method Ring' and the crucial innate Gu Gu Shentong.

As for the equally important innate spiritual treasure...

"I wonder when my master will emerge from seclusion? The Demon-Refining Immortal-Slaying Sword is naturally the best choice; if not..."

Setting aside the choice of the innate spiritual treasure for now, Li Yuan pondered the choice of the remaining true forms.

After all, he was only one step away from the Divine Palace realm, needing only to refine the Kunpeng magic power back to perfection.

"The nine spiritual forms must encompass the Five Extremities and Five Elements; the choice of the remaining five true forms must be even more cautious. The Azure Dragon, Fire Phoenix, and Shan Xuan Huang Qianshan Qianshan Qilin must be chosen; as for the remaining two..."

Under the Shan Xuan Vine Tree, while Li Yuan was pondering, his heart suddenly stirred, and Yu Yu Xuanji he landed upon Wang Yang.

He saw a deep blue light ball rise from Wang Yang; it was a Gu Gu Shentong seed that had finished refining.

"Shan Xuan You Body-Protecting Canopy? A water-attribute body-protection spell, quite fitting with the Kunming Ten Thousand Layers Armor..."

Li Yuan did not rush to refine it; instead, he concentrated his spirit to sense this Gu Gu Shentong seed. His true form, unlike the Shadow Demon Body, could not accept anything indiscriminately but had to match as perfectly as possible.

This was a refining rule known to everyone in the Wei Tian Dao Sect.

"It is not a perfect law prohibition, but it has eighty-one layers of law prohibitions, fitting the scope of a Five Realm cultivator..."

Playing with this Gu Gu Shentong seed, Li Yuan looked at the divine pattern seed 'Suppressing Prison' still unrefined in Wang Yang, and could not help but recall that Blood Phoenix.
