Chapter 1250 Langhuan Secret Realm 6
The arrival of Yunxi and her group of six attracted the attention of the twelve people who had arrived at Tianqiong Waterfall first. These people were divided into three small groups, with a certain distance between each other. They scanned the six people with their scrutinizing eyes, and after confirming that only Huawu had the highest cultivation level, they withdrew their gaze, but did not let their guard down.
The six-person group was also assessing the strength of the twelve people, forming a three-person group, a four-person group, and a five-person group. The three-person group was the strongest, with two immortals at the Immortal Lord level, one demon immortal and one human immortal. The other two groups each had one immortal at the Immortal Lord level.
If we don't count Yunxi and Difei, whose cultivation levels were suppressed, the three-person group would be the strongest. However, their six-person team has the most members, and apart from Huawu, the other five are all at the Luo Tian Shang Xianhou realm, making their strength relatively even. When the soul weapon of Tianqiong Waterfall appears, they still have a chance to take it.
The appearance of Yunxi and her group broke the previous three-way balance, and also made the three-person team pay more attention to the six of them, but no one took the lead in speaking up to break this delicate balance.
Yunxi and Difei exchanged a glance, casually chose a spot furthest from the waterfall, threw out a defensive array plate, and flashed inside. The other four followed closely behind, the array blocking the curious gazes of the others.
After Hua Wu and the other three entered, they found Yun Xi and Di Fei sitting cross-legged on a futon, seemingly waiting for them. Yu Xingchi waved his sleeve and released a futon, sitting down cross-legged first. Hua Wu, Cui Ying, and Wu Shen followed suit.
Seeing that everyone seemed to have a good understanding, Yunxi smiled and said:
"Everyone, before entering the secret realm, my sisters and I made a special trip to the 'Inquiry Pavilion' and spent a lot of money to buy some information about the soul artifacts in the Langhuan Secret Realm. Tianqiong Waterfall is one of the places where soul artifacts are born."
During this period each year, the waterfall flows backward, and a cloud dragon koi carp that leaps over the Dragon Gate from the lower realm appears in the reversed waterfall. Before the cloud dragon koi carp transforms into a dragon, it will exhale a bubble.
This bubble contains the transformative power of the koi fish transforming into a dragon, and also condenses a portion of the life force of the Cloud Dragon Koi. It was transformed by the power of the Heavenly Jade Waterfall and is the Cloud Dragon Koi's way of giving back to heaven and earth. It can be considered a natural soul artifact generated by heaven, earth, and spirit.
As long as you recognize and refine this soul weapon before it bursts, you can obtain a defensive soul weapon that best suits your sea of consciousness. As long as this soul weapon is not destroyed, the master's soul will not perish.
However, the number of these Horcruxes is limited, and the timing of the struggle is crucial. If the struggle becomes too intense, the bubble may burst at any moment, and the Horcruxes will return to the world. Therefore, everyone had better be prepared.
Yunxi finished recounting all the information she had gathered in one breath, then looked at the four people opposite her, wanting to know if they had any questions or anything to add.
Hua Wu nodded and said:
"I have also collected information about the birth of soul weapons at Tianqiong Waterfall. However, the number of these soul weapons is limited, and they are not easy to obtain. As far as I know, very few immortals have obtained these soul weapons. Most soul weapons are destroyed before they are stabilized."
"Amitabha! There are too many people vying for it, and none of them are willing to give way, so the results of the battle for the Tianqiong Waterfall Soul Weapon are always similar. Very few immortals can obtain such a natural Soul Weapon."
Yu Xingchi stroked the intricate and delicate runes on the immortal robe and said softly:
"Since we're here, we should give it a try. Judging from the current situation, our team has the most members, so we still have a fighting chance."
Cuiying nodded and said:
"After the Yunlong Koi transforms into a dragon, it also goes to the Demon Realm. As a fellow demon cultivator, I have a great advantage."
Di Fei's shimmering eyes flashed, and she said with a smile:
"Since we're already here, we should at least give it a shot. Let's all rely on our own abilities."
Hua Wu looked at Yun Xi and said:
"Since Fairy Qianjiao was able to obtain information about the Langhuan Secret Realm from the 'Inquiry Pavilion,' does she have any secrets to seizing this natural soul artifact, the Sea of Consciousness Shield?"
The question was abrupt, and before Yunxi could answer, Difei, standing to the side, said unhappily:
"Demon Lord Huawu, buying information from the Inquiry Pavilion requires Flower Fairy Stones. You can't just take advantage of your high cultivation level to get it for free, can you?"
After Yunxi and Difei finished speaking, she gently patted the other's arm and turned to Huawu, saying, "Demon Lord, there is indeed a trick to the recognition of a master's sea of consciousness. It would be fine to tell you all, but this method varies from person to person. Even if I tell you, you may not succeed."
Yu Xingchi smiled and said:
"In that case, Fairy Qianjiao, why don't you tell us? If we obtain this soul artifact using your method, we will reward you for providing the information."
Yunxi was satisfied with the reply, and went along with what the other party had said:
"When you approach the waterfall that flows backward, try to release your own immortal energy. As long as the immortal energy is pure and does not contain any killing intent, it will definitely attract the bubbles spit out by the Cloud Dragon Koi."
Once we gain Bubble's approval, the next step is to form a contract with the Horcrux. During this time, there will definitely be competition among us; the rest will depend on our abilities.
After Yunxi finished speaking, she looked at Wushen. He was a Buddha who cultivated cause and effect, so he should have the lightest killing aura among the six people, and his chances of seizing the sea of consciousness shield were much greater than theirs.
Wu Shen naturally understood why Yun Xi was looking at him, and put his hands together in prayer:
“Amitabha! Even Buddha has wrathful Vajra. I have killed many evil people, and my killing intent is no less than that of all of you here.”
The implication is that they are all on the same starting line, and he is not sure whether he can form a contract with the sea of consciousness shield spat out by the Cloud Dragon Koi.
Therefore, Yunxi's secret to forming a bond was essentially meaningless.
Cuiying, unwilling to give up, said:
"As fellow demon immortals, if my demonic power can attract this natural soul artifact, I ask for your assistance. I promise not to participate in the competition for the next soul artifact and will even become your helper."
After hearing Cuiying's promise, everyone reluctantly nodded in agreement. The six of them then sat down in meditation within the formation, waiting for the Tianqiong Waterfall to flow backward.
The other three groups outside the formation were discussing countermeasures. After all, they were unwilling to share the spoils. With the waterfall about to reverse, they did not want to clash with the six-person group before that, so they did not make a move immediately.
However, the three small teams that arrived first had already reached a tacit understanding to temporarily form an alliance after the Horcruxes appeared, and then discuss how to distribute them after they obtained the Horcruxes.
Both sides have their own agendas, but it's unclear who will ultimately succeed.
On the very night that Yunxi and her group arrived at Tianqiong Waterfall, at midnight, the pool below the waterfall began to churn and surge, gradually flowing upwards from the bottom.
Di Fei immediately put away the array plate, and everyone flashed to the bottom of the waterfall, spreading their divine senses to examine it little by little. In less than a moment, someone saw the Cloud Dragon Koi in the reverse-flowing waterfall.
The three-meter-long Yunlong Koi was struggling to swim upwards, wagging its tail. When it got tired, it would shake its head in the water and then continue forward, appearing and disappearing in the waterfall, making it impossible for the immortals to locate it.
Yunxi and Difei exchanged a glance, their eyes fixed on the Yunlong koi carp that were poking their heads out to breathe and prepare to blow bubbles, ready to snatch them at any moment.
My darlings, I'm sorry, my biological clock has been a bit off these past few days, so I've been getting up late to write. I'll upload one chapter now, and there will be another one before midnight. If you can't wait, you can read it tomorrow morning. Thank you all for your support.
