Chapter 1265
: Cowardly as a Mouse
You know, if you want a spiritual treasure to have the foundation of becoming a god, it will take two to three hundred years for a god cultivator to condense the energy of becoming a god.
However, the cultivators who have reached the state of Divine Transformation are busy with all kinds of affairs. How many of them are willing to spend hundreds of years of hard training just to help a spiritual treasure gain the foundation for Divine Transformation?
Indirectly, spiritual treasures with the foundation of transformation into a god are extremely rare.
Even the Xinghai Pavilion or the Sea Dragon Clan, which have existed for tens of thousands of years, basically only have a few of them.
As for the spiritual treasures that can comprehend a true meaning to the level of great success, there are even fewer of them.
There are only two of them in the sea dragon clan.
This is because the two spiritual treasures have a good foundation. It is said that they are refined with materials from some ancestors of the sea dragon clan who have reached the state of god transformation. They have a certain probability of entering the state of god transformation.
For this reason, the sea dragon clan paid more attention to them. Even the ancestors of the sea dragon clan from generation to generation have passed nearly ten spirit-transforming auras into them, which helped them comprehend the true meaning to a great level.
And as long as they can fully grasp the true meaning, they will undoubtedly have a 30% chance of breaking through to the Divine Transformation realm.
But then again, if the two spiritual treasures were to rely solely on their own comprehension, I'm afraid they might not be able to achieve such an achievement even if they were given tens of thousands of years.
As for ordinary spiritual treasures with the foundation of transformation into a god, the probability of achieving that level of achievement is even slimmer, and it can even be said to be hopeless.
It is precisely for this reason that it should be difficult for a late Nascent Soul cultivator like Ling Pengyun to master such a treasure.
Logically, this kind of spiritual treasure is either in the hands of the gods of various forces, or in the hands of some powerful people at the Nascent Soul Perfection level.
After all, only such a strong person can unleash the full power of this kind of treasure.
At this time, the red crab looked familiar to Ling Pengyun and thought about it carefully.
“Could this person be Ling Pengyun, the only person in Xinghai Pavilion who has condensed a five-element Nascent Soul in the past three thousand years?”
Thinking of this, it suddenly became clear.
"If that's the case, then it's no wonder that this person, who is only in the late Nascent Soul stage, possesses such a treasure."
"After all, such people are rare even in our clan, and they will definitely be taken care of by the ancestors of the clan who have reached the state of transformation into gods."
"But... if this happens, I'm afraid I'll be in some trouble."
A look of helplessness suddenly appeared on the red crab's face.
Although it has already told its fellow demon kings nearby that Ling Pengyun possesses a spiritual treasure with the foundation of becoming a god, it is likely to attract many demon kings. With their help, perhaps it can escape from danger.
But what can be done, Ling Pengyun's treasure is really amazing.
Even if the nearby demon kings come to support without knowing the situation, I am afraid they will withdraw after seeing the true potential of the Five Elements River of Treasures.
After all, there are not many people in this world who are willing to provoke someone who is suspected to be valued by the Ancestor of Huashen.
Of course, some people with high cultivation levels probably won’t be afraid.
But among the many demon kings of the Sea Dragon Clan who went on this expedition, strictly speaking, only the great elder of the Sea Dragon Clan, Hai Yun Lei Jiao, could provoke Ling Pengyun. However, he learned from the Sea Dragon Clan's ancestor who had achieved the state of transformation into a god, and he also had a backer who had achieved the state of transformation into a god.
But the great elder is now entangled by the old formation master Xingqing from Xinghai Pavilion.
"Ruined!"
The Crimson Crab Demon King sighed helplessly, his heart filled with gloom.
Just as he thought, not long after, many nearby demon kings came because of the news spread by the Red Crab Demon King that Ling Pengyun possessed a spiritual treasure with the foundation of a divine spiritual treasure.
But soon, they saw that Ling Pengyun's incarnation's spiritual treasure was really powerful, so they all stopped and just watched from afar.
Ling Pengyun's spiritual awareness was extraordinary, comparable to that of a veteran Nascent Soul cultivator. For this reason, he was able to notice this matter subtly.
"Are all these demon kings nearby?"
"This is a bit dangerous. If we are attacked by a group of people, it will be difficult for even me to break through."
"It seems that we have to use some special means."
His consciousness was filled with hatred, and he immediately transferred his consciousness into the Yunqian No. 2 flying boat under him.
In just a moment, the Three Thousand Cloud Sword Formation pattern inside the flying boat was activated.
As countless spiritual lights emerged, three thousand flying sword phantoms suddenly appeared and transformed into a huge torrent of sword light, sweeping out directly.
Countless sea water in the path was torn apart.
In an instant, the deep sea seemed to be cut in half, with only sword intent flying in the middle.
The power of this move is naturally not bad. Although it cannot compare with the Five Elements River of Treasures and the dragon phantom array spirit of the dragon covering the sea, it is a superior magical power after all.
But it is at least comparable to a full-strength attack from a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and is also very good at breaking the barrier.
In this way, just a wash caused some more cracks on the special fourth-order intermediate-grade Broken Gold and Rift Cloud Array supported by the red crab clan.
Even if the Crimson Crab Demon King led the other Crimson Crabs that still had strength left to fight back, they could only hold out for a few hundred breaths before the formation was shattered.
However, their offensive was no match for Ling Pengyun's, so it didn't take long for Ling Pengyun to kill all the low-level red crabs here one by one.
The only thing that was difficult to deal with was the Red Crab Demon King who was in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Stage because of his strong physique and the help of a fourth-grade top-grade magic armor that had been nurtured by the Red Crab clan for tens of thousands of years.
But fortunately, the Five Elements River of Treasures had trapped the only fourth-grade intermediate-quality pliers spiritual treasure in his hands.
In this way, the crab is like a lamb to be slaughtered.
It is precisely because of this that the crab is extremely worried and even begs for mercy.
"Fellow Daoist, please show some mercy. As long as you are willing to let me go, I am willing to send people back to the nest of my Crimson Crab clan and take out all the resources of my clan and offer them to you, fellow Daoist."
"And our clan's heritage not only contains many fourth-level cultivation resources, but also rare fourth-level healing pills, and even fourth-level spiritual fruit trees, fourth-level spiritual ponds, and Nascent Soul spiritual objects, etc. I guarantee that you will not be disappointed."
"..."
It is the only demon king of the red crab clan, and also the king of this clan. Therefore, it can mobilize the clan's resources at will. What it says now is indeed sincere.
Ling Pengyun was slightly stunned when he heard this.
"Why is this crab like this...?"
Although in the past, when he killed many enemy monks, many monks had begged for mercy.
But very few monster enemies beg for mercy.
The Red Crab Demon King is one of them, and he can be regarded as the most useless one among them.
However, Ling Pengyun could understand it. After all, we only have one life. If we lose our life, what is the point of having backbone?
The red crab demon king had exactly the same idea. What's more, it just hadn't lived enough.
It is only over three thousand years old now, but because of the monster, it still has over two thousand years of life left.
As a result, he has just reached middle age and has not yet enjoyed all the prosperity of this world.
And although it is considered a member of the sea dragon clan, it is only a side branch of it.
Once it becomes difficult for one's own family group to produce Yuanying, they may be expelled from the clan and eventually become an ordinary clan.
For this reason, he actually does not have much sense of belonging to the Sea Dragon Clan. Under such circumstances, there is no need for him to risk his life for the Sea Dragon Clan.
It participated in this so-called world-destroying chaos, and apart from intending to see if it could kill some monks to provide resources for its cultivation, it only intended to mix things up.
Therefore, when it saw that Ling Pengyun's attack had not stopped, it added with some pain, "Fellow Daoist, my clan has a rare quasi-fourth-level fire jade spirit fruit tree that can produce second-rate Nascent Soul spirit objects. As long as you are willing to stop, I am willing to offer it to you."
Ling Pengyun was slightly moved when he heard this.
Strictly speaking, this kind of spiritual fruit tree that can produce second-rate Nascent Soul spiritual objects is actually much more valuable than the fourth-grade spiritual fruit tree that the Red Crab Demon King had mentioned earlier.
It is probably because of this reason that he did not mention the Fire Jade Spirit Fruit Tree before, wanting to leave some background.
In addition, precious trees such as the Fire Jade Spirit Fruit Tree are exactly what the Ling family needs right now.
Upon careful calculation, it was found that the family actually had no real source of righteous Nascent Soul spiritual objects of its own.
Although there was a quasi-fourth-grade Tianxuan Spirit Pond in the Baiying Secret Realm that the family discovered in the Zhongzhou Immortal Cultivation World in the early years, which could also produce second-rate Nascent Soul spiritual objects, this thing had to be shared equally with the other forces in the Baiying Secret Realm.
As for the secret realm of the Ghost Immortal Sect branch which is also in the Zhongzhou Immortal Cultivation World, although there are several small ponds that can produce Nascent Soul spiritual objects, they can only produce Ghost Nascent Soul spiritual objects.
However, the family's method of using a special formation to condense the special Nascent Soul spirit object, the Sun and Moon Crystals, can only be regarded as a new method.
Moreover, even if the Red Crab Demon King was killed, there would not be much benefit. After all, handing over his body, soul, and even his Nascent Soul could only be exchanged for a few hundred thousand military merits at most.
But on the contrary, if it is given a way to survive, the benefits it will bring will be enormous, and not only will there be the Fire Jade Spirit Fruit Tree, the Red Crab Demon King had also said before that he would give it Nascent Soul spiritual objects and other treasures.
And these are what Ling Pengyun needs.
For this reason, Ling Pengyun thought about it for a moment, then raised his hand and stopped the attack.
But he used the Five Elements River of Treasures to directly trap the red crab monster king.
Then, he said.
"Is what you said before true?"
Seeing that there was hope of survival, the Red Crab Demon King nodded quickly.
"Natural nature."
"In half a month at most, the spiritual object I promised to give you will be delivered to you by my people."
Ling Pengyun nodded with satisfaction.
"In that case, I agree to the condition of using the spiritual object in exchange for your life."
"But besides that, I also want all the spiritual objects on you."
"And, it needs to be given now, so bring it all."
When the Red Crab Demon King heard this, he suddenly felt like rejecting.
Today, it can survive in the world mainly because of the powerful fourth-grade top-grade magic armor on its body.
If this treasure was gone, with Ling Pengyun's strength, it would be easy to kill it.
But just as it hesitated, it heard a threat.
"Don't waste time. If you don't give it to me, you will die even if you have that set of armor."
And this is indeed true. For this reason, the Red Crab Demon King can't help but feel powerless, but he must fight for some rights for himself.
"Okay, I can give you the spiritual objects on me now, but you must swear an oath to the heavens. After my people send the ransom, you must release me."
"And during this period and even for the next thirty years, you are not allowed to harm my life, and you are not allowed to let others do it to me."
Ling Pengyun couldn't help but smile when he heard this.
With the Taichu Sutra in his hand, he can basically ignore all checks and balances such as the oath between heaven and earth.
However, he had no intention of breaking the contract from the beginning to the end, so he agreed.
"I agree to this."
After saying this, he swore an oath.
When the Red Crab Demon King saw this, he immediately felt relieved.
The higher the cultivation level of a cultivator, the more powerful the oath he makes to heaven will be.
If you violate it easily, you will definitely be punished by heaven and earth when you face major obstacles in the future, which will only increase the difficulty.
It is for this reason that the oaths sworn by high-level cultivators are generally somewhat binding.
In addition, the Red Crab Demon King now has no other way to survive, so he can only pin all his hopes on that oath.
Therefore, in order to avoid provoking Ling Pengyun, it threw all its armor and storage tools to Ling Pengyun.
Seeing this, Ling Pengyun immediately nodded with satisfaction.
"This crab is honest and didn't hide anything."
"Now, we just have to wait for the background of the red crab clan he mentioned."
Then he said to the red crab demon king.
"For the next period of time, you will stay in this Changhe Lingbao of mine. If you make any unusual moves, such as secretly contacting some strong men to ambush me or doing any other series of things, I will definitely kill you immediately."
Upon hearing this, the Red Crab Demon King was immediately delighted.
"From the looks of it, this human race should be planning to keep their promise."
But when it thought of Ling Pengyun's threat, it couldn't help feeling a little bitter.
Although, it would like to do so.
But the true meaning of Ling Pengyun's Five Elements Long River Spirit Treasure is really strong, and the means of communication in its hands are not particularly strong.
In this way, those means will find it difficult to break through the true meaning and reach the outside world.
It is estimated that only a rare quasi-fifth-level communication method or a superior inherited magical power can accomplish this.
But both are rare.
For this reason, even if it has evil intentions, it can only stay honestly within the river of five elements and treasures.
At the same time, it also says.
"By the way, fellow Daoist, I haven't sent a message to my people yet. Can you remove the true meaning of your Changhe first? Otherwise, I won't be able to send a message at all."
Ling Pengyun took into consideration that they would be leaving this place soon, and the Red Crab Demon King might have already asked for help, so he was not afraid to give him a chance to communicate, so he did so.
But as soon as the matter was settled, he immediately cleaned up the mess here, and controlled the Five Elements River of Treasures, and took the Red Crab Demon King away from here.
As for the group of demon kings who were watching from afar, they were all unaware of the transaction between the Red Crab Demon King and Ling Pengyun, so they were a little confused.
"Why did the human cultivator capture the Red Crab Demon King of the Red Crab Clan alive? Could it be that... he was planning to bring him back to Xinghai Pavilion and integrate his spirit into some special formation to serve as a formation spirit, or was he planning to tame him and use him to deal with my Sea Dragon Clan?"
"..."
They kept guessing, but even if they didn't guess that the Red Crab Monster King had used benefits to exchange for a way out, it was clear that they all overestimated the Red Crab Monster King. (End of this chapter)
