Chapter 1348
Horrible Speculations
at the same time.
The world of immortality in the boundless sea.
Somewhere in the void, there is a huge small world hidden.
The laws of heaven and earth are relatively complete, there are many spiritual veins, and there are a large number of cultivators and ordinary people.
But strangely enough, there is no evil here, it is like a holy place of righteousness.
In addition, there is only one way in and out of this place, which is built in a valley that is heavily guarded.
And on the side of the valley, there is a huge mountain range, which is covered by a huge formation. It looks extremely solid, and if you can enter it, you will find that it is full of powerful people.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that this place is extremely safe and ordinary people cannot enter at will.
And in the deepest part of the mountains, there is a huge lake.
The spiritual energy there has reached its peak, with spiritual clouds and mist formed everywhere due to the overly dense spiritual energy, as well as various rare spiritual plants, which only add to the artistic conception of this place. From a distance, it looks like a fairyland.
However, there is only one cave built in this precious land.
And this moment.
This cave is a training room.
There was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man who was urging a very special blue fire, which was constantly burning a strange long flag.
A vivid dragon pattern is embroidered on its surface.
However, no matter how this thing was burned, it did not suffer any damage. Instead, its aura became stronger and stronger.
In addition, two different roars of dragons could be heard from time to time.
One was extremely excited, while the other was dull but revealed a sense of unwillingness and pain.
The reason why it made such a commotion was that this treasure already had a spirit, and even had a great origin. It was the "Sea Dragon Banner", the most precious treasure of the Xinghai Pavilion, one of the top forces in the world to transform into a god. And it was now refining the half of the body that the Xinghai ancestor cut off from the Black Dragon three years ago.
As for the middle-aged man who constantly summoned flames to assist in the sacrifice of this treasure, he was naturally the Ancestor of the Star Sea.
I don’t know how long it had passed, but a ray of light suddenly appeared in the arms of Xinghai Patriarch, which made him stop what he was doing.
Then, he raised his hand and waved it, and an ancient token shining with light appeared in his hand.
"Something happened on the front line?"
He looked at it carefully, frowned, stood up, and walked to a quiet room next door. As he injected spiritual power and the token, array patterns suddenly appeared in the void in various places in the quiet room, interweaving together.
Finally, it turned into a huge water mirror.
At this moment, the water mirror projected the image of "Master Xingqing", the great elder of Xinghai Pavilion who was proficient in formation.
It is said that since the beginning of the world-destroying chaos, he led the Xinghai Pavilion army to establish a stronghold, Xinghai Island, in the desolate sea area between the righteous sea area of the endless sea of cultivation in the outside world and the boundless demon area. He has then led a large number of cultivators to stay there to guard against the monsters in the boundless demon sea.
Over the years, because the contemporary Xinghai Pavilion is stronger than the demon clan in the Boundless Demon Sea, and because the Xinghai Pavilion has always been the victor in some larger battles, there has been no trouble in the place where it is stationed.
It was for this reason that Great Elder Xingqing's practice this time made Patriarch Xinghai, who had been recuperating in the sect, a little nervous.
Immediately, the Xinghai Patriarch asked some questions.
"Something has really happened on the front line."
"Although, in recent years, due to the strength of our sect, we have been suppressing the demons in the boundless demon sea and making them unable to raise their heads, and we can even fight against some territories from time to time."
"Even three years ago, because of your great power in the Northern Wilderness Cultivation Realm, you intimidated the monsters and made the monsters in the Boundless Monster Sea more afraid of our sect. Many of them retreated before the battles even started... As a result, our sect has been reaping good rewards over the years, and even expanded a vast sea area."
"But three days ago, the sea monsters in the Boundless Demon Sea suddenly rose up and directly attacked our sect's expansion team that had entered the Boundless Demon Sea."
“If I hadn’t been there at the time, and if other Nascent Soul fellows hadn’t helped me, the land-opening army consisting of tens of millions of cultivators would have suffered heavy losses.”
"Moreover, this matter is really strange and does not conform to the previous style of the demon clan. For this reason, I guess that it is most likely that the ancestor of the Sea Dragon Clan, the overlord of the Boundless Demon Sea, has improved in strength, or has obtained other opportunities. He has become somewhat confident that he can compete with you, Master, or even surpass you... Therefore, I disturbed your meditation this time."
And Great Elder Xing Qing said with a serious expression.
He and Xinghai Patriarch are master and disciple, and he is Xinghai Patriarch's eldest disciple. In addition, Xinghai Patriarch has always been easy to get along with, so the relationship between the two is particularly good. Whenever there is something on weekdays, the two of them will just talk briefly and say whatever comes to mind.
"In that case, this matter is indeed a bit strange."
"But if he really has the confidence to take the initiative to attack our sect because of his increased strength, then there are only two possibilities. One is that his cultivation has entered the middle stage of the Spiritualization, but this is absolutely impossible."
"The resources today are simply not enough for us to enter the middle stage of the Divine Transformation Realm."
"The second is the meaning of the divine transformation."
"In the past, I was able to surpass him because I had comprehended more of the true meaning of the Divine Transformation, but the true meaning of the Divine Transformation is just as difficult, and three years is not enough for him to make much progress."
When Xinghai Patriarch said this, he frowned and suddenly thought of something important.
"If there are spiritual creatures to help, it may not be the case."
"And this kind of spiritual object is rare. Logically, the Sea Dragon Clan should not have any in stock, and we cannot get it for the time being."
"However, three years ago, there was a small opportunity like this."
Upon hearing this, Great Elder Xing Qing's eyes lit up.
"Master, are you talking about the Black Dragon Ancestor whose body you cut off in half?"
"Yes, that black dragon and the old sea dragon are both dragons, so no matter the blood or spirit of the black dragon, it will be of great benefit to the old sea dragon."
"However, the black dragon should not be dead. Therefore, it is estimated that the old man only got part of its body."
"Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the evil sea dragon was able to improve and thus had enough confidence to challenge me."
"I just didn't expect that when I severely injured the black dragon, I indirectly helped the old sea dragon."
A hint of anger appeared in Xinghai Patriarch's brow.
As early as tens of thousands of years ago, there had been conflicts between the Sea Dragon Clan and the Black Dragon Clan in the immortal cultivation world of the Boundless Ocean. For this reason, the Sea Dragon Clan had always wanted to swallow up the Black Dragon Clan.
But the Black Dragon Clan is not weak either, so the Sea Dragon Clan has never found an opportunity.
And if the ancestor of the Black Dragon Clan had not been seriously injured this time, with his means, even if his cultivation was weaker than that of the Sea Dragon Clan, as long as he met the Sea Dragon Clan, he could probably escape easily with his Shadowless Void Escape Technique and the Shadowless Void Treasure Mirror.
It is for this reason that the Xinghai Patriarch made the remarks today.
After listening to Patriarch Xinghai's analysis, Great Elder Xingqing's face became even more solemn.
"If it is really as Master said, I am afraid that after the Sea Dragon Ancestor got part of the Black Dragon Ancestor's body, his bloodline would be strengthened a little. After all, the body of a dragon is a great tonic for a dragon."
"Therefore, the improvement of the Sea Dragon Ancestor this time is probably greater than I had imagined before."
Subsequently, the idea in his heart to request the Xinghai Patriarch to come out and take charge became more firm, and he immediately told it out loud.
"Master, I would like to ask you to come out and take charge of the outside world to prevent the Sea Dragon Ancestor from suddenly attacking ordinary cultivators like us." After hearing this, the Star Sea Ancestor thought about it for a while and nodded.
"It's settled."
Upon hearing this, Great Elder Xing Qing felt relieved.
Although the Sea Dragon Ancestor's strength seems to have increased greatly, as long as the Star Sea Ancestor is on guard against this dragon, everything will be fine. After all, the Star Sea Ancestor's strength is enormous.
But then, Great Elder Xingqing began to have some concerns.
"By the way, Master, it is said that you were seriously injured in that huge battle of the God Transformation. Three years have passed. Is your injury still okay?"
Ancestor Xinghai smiled.
"Although there are injuries, they are not serious. It is just that my consciousness has suffered some minor injuries. I just need to slowly recuperate for a few years and I will be able to recover."
Great Elder Xing Qing trembled.
There are many rumors in the outside world that the Xinghai Patriarch has not appeared in the world since he gathered many righteous gods and defeated all the demon gods three years ago. The main reason is that he suffered particularly serious injuries in that battle.
But the fact is, since this is not the case, there is only one possibility.
"If that's the case, Master, is it because of the half of the body of the Black Dragon Ancestor that you obtained during the God Transformation Battle that you have been staying in the sect for these years?"
The Xinghai Patriarch did not hide anything, but said it with a look of satisfaction.
"Among the several disciples under my command, you are indeed the smartest. I didn't expect that you would guess the reason after just a few words."
"It's a pity that the peaceful days were too short. If I could have a few more decades, perhaps the Sea Dragon Banner, the most precious treasure of our sect, could completely refine half of the black dragon's body and some other treasures, and use it to impact the fifth-level middle-grade realm."
Great Elder Xing Qing's eyes lit up and he immediately asked curiously.
"Master, how sure are you about this?"
The Xinghai Patriarch did not answer, but just smiled slightly.
But Great Elder Xingqing, who knew his master, Patriarch Xinghai's temperament well, understood everything immediately upon seeing this, and his eyes flashed even brighter.
For a moment, there was only one thought in his mind.
"After several decades, I'm afraid our sect's strength will be even greater..."
"And if the sect becomes more powerful, it will bring many benefits to sect disciples like me. Maybe I can even get a chance to achieve the Divine Transformation. With my status, I should be able to get it first..."
At this time, Patriarch Xinghai saw that Great Elder Xingqing looked extremely expectant, smiled, and said.
"It's been a while since we last chatted. I've been in seclusion for a long time, so let's take this opportunity to chat more."
"Have you made any progress in your battle formations in recent years?"
Great Elder Xing Qing's face suddenly darkened.
"Master, please don't mention this. I haven't made much progress since I entered the fifth level of formation. Unless my consciousness reaches the state of transformation and can perceive the formation more subtly, I think the probability of making further progress in this field is extremely low."
"…………"
...............
Another three months passed.
This day.
The world of immortality in the boundless sea.
Xinghai Pavilion established Xinghai Island, a temporary base between the many seas of the righteous path and the boundless sea of monsters. At this moment, it was surrounded by countless monsters and even showed signs of weakness.
And this is particularly strange.
After all, there was no divine intervention in this battle.
If it were according to the usual practice, the monsters in the boundless sea of monsters should not be able to match the army of the Star Sea Pavilion, let alone suppress them.
However, if you look closely, you can find that this is all caused by three extremely strange dragons.
All the scales on their bodies were red, and although their cultivation had reached the perfect Nascent Soul stage, their aura was rather weak, and even their vitality was rapidly fading away as time went by.
However, their strength is quite good, and each of them is not weaker than an ordinary Nascent Soul Perfection master.
It was precisely because of this that, with their combined strength, they were able to block the group of top-notch Nascent Soul Perfection masters on Xinghai Island.
at the same time.
Deep in the Star Island.
Great Elder Xing Qing, who was in charge of the situation here, looked at the three blood-red dragons, his brows full of sorrow.
"If we count the time, we haven't seen a blood dragon from the sea dragon clan for thousands of years."
“It is said that cultivating this dragon requires the essence and blood of a high-level dragon. To cultivate this kind of Nascent Soul, one would probably need the essence and blood of a Divine Dragon. However, the Sea Dragon Clan only has one Divine Dragon ancestor at present. And given the temperament of that ancestor, he probably wouldn’t be willing to do this.”
“Therefore, I’m afraid that the essence and blood of the divine dragon needed to cultivate the three blood dragons all came from the black dragon ancestor in the Northern Wilderness Immortal Cultivation World.”
"It seems that the ancestor of the sea dragon clan must have gained a lot from the black dragon ancestor, otherwise he would not have done such a thing. After all, there is not much blood and essence in the body of the divine dragon, and it is extremely precious and is a tonic."
Blood dragons are a type of dragon that are cultivated using special methods. After they transform into blood dragons, their strength will be greatly enhanced, but conversely, their potential will be drained.
In the end, it won’t be long before their lifespan runs out and they die.
…………
the other side.
Behind the army of monsters besieging Xinghai Island.
Somewhere deep in the void, there lurks a gigantic dragon.
He is none other than the ancestor of the sea dragon clan, but times have changed and his spirit is much stronger than before.
Moreover, as he now looked in the direction of Xinghai Island, he only had a strong murderous intent in his mind.
"This Xinghai Island is extremely important to Xinghai Pavilion, and there is also a quasi-fifth-level spiritual vein with extraordinary potential inside it. I think even the old thief Xinghai would not want this thing to fall into the hands of our demon clan. Therefore, according to the current situation here, it is estimated that the old thief Xinghai will be forced out in a short time."
Originally, its strength was not as good as that of the Star Sea Ancestor.
But just as the Xinghai Ancestor had guessed at the beginning, some time ago, he did obtain some essence, blood, and flesh and blood from the Black Dragon Ancestor, which enabled him to improve.
The reason why it rushed to offend the Xinghai Pavilion was because the Xinghai ancestor also obtained the body of the Black Dragon ancestor, and the number was particularly large.
In this way, if the Xinghai Patriarch is given time, the treasure of the Xinghai Pavilion may really have a chance to enter the fifth-grade middle level. By then, even two of it will be incomparable.
For this reason, not long ago, after refining the opportunity he had obtained from the Black Dragon Ancestor, he immediately ordered his demon clan to attack the Xinghai Pavilion monks with all their strength. This way, there would be a chance to lure out the Xinghai Ancestor, and then it would be easier to take action. (End of this chapter)
