Lord of Bones

Chapter 364
The huge mountain peaks with lush vegetation, birds singing and fragrant flowers are suspended high in the sky, with huge waterfalls hanging on them, gurgling streams and shrouded clouds and mist, just like a fairyland.

In a corridor somewhere on the peak, three figures walked side by side.

"Hall Master, it's been half a year and I haven't seen Li Yuan come out of Qianjue Chan Ridge. Could something have happened to him?" Mu Haochu was a little worried.

Mu Chenyang stroked his gray hair at the temples, and said in a deep voice, "Probably not, such a monstrosity cannot fall easily."

Ling Aoxuan said: "In the past month or so, no Yuan person has come out from the depths of Qianjue Cicada Ridge.

"The Yuan people who entered there from various forces have all left Chanling Ridge.

“The entrances and exits of Cicada Ridge are all occupied by the ice demon cicada.

“Moreover, the Qianjue Chan Ridge area has advanced more than 6000 miles eastward.

"Qianxue City now also belongs to the Qianjue Cicada Range. He is afraid that the situation is in danger."

Mu Haochu frowned slightly, still holding on to a glimmer of hope: "Could he have come out but just hid?

"The entire continent knows that he took Luo Lian, the golden soul land."

"Impossible." Ling Aoxuan shook his head, "Although Jinhun Land Luo Lian is precious, it is not so precious that people are looking for it everywhere. After all, it is just a treasure."

"Eh... Frozen Cloud Immortal Realm..." Ling Aoxuan suddenly thought of something and immediately speculated, "Palace Master, Master Mu Peak, will he go to Frozen Cloud Immortal Pavilion.

"To say that the mainland can cultivate such a talented person, the only one who has been in seclusion for thousands of years is the Frozen Cloud Immortal Pavilion."

Mu Haochu shook his head slightly and said: "It's impossible.

“Under the Transformation Realm, Frozen Cloud Immortal Pavilion has always only accepted human Yuans, and they are all women.

"What's more, if there were powerful alchemists, Frozen Cloud Immortal Pavilion would not have come to the Aoki Palace a few years ago and asked us to help refine the alchemy."

"Forget it, let's withdraw the disciples from the branch hall. There is no need to stay there." Mu Chen sighed.

"Okay." Ling Aoxuan nodded, "By the way, Palace Master, Yunmeng Daze is expected to be opened in the next two or three years. Should we send disciples there?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Chenyang pondered for a moment and said: "Yunmeng Daze is in the Bihai Pavilion area, which is too far away from the Qingmu Palace.

“To enter it, you need to be at least in the middle stage of Nirvana to have some ability to protect yourself.

"Nowadays, the talents of the younger generation in Qingmu Palace are withering, so there must be no mistakes.

"The championship of gods and demons is coming soon. We have been rated as D and D for several consecutive years. This time we still have to mention our results.

"I will not participate in the Yunmeng Daze incident."

"Yes." Ling Aoxuan nodded.

.........

It was windy and snowy, and the ice was biting.

Wisps of cold air filled the air, as if the heaven and earth were frozen.

There is no trace of life, just silence and desolation.

"call--"

In the vast white world, a huge cyan figure suddenly appeared above the sky, then slowly fell, and two figures flitted out.

"The damn blizzard forced us to walk for more than half a year on a journey of [-] miles." Yuan Yao complained.

A look of exhaustion appeared on Li Yuan's handsome face, which was dusty and dusty. It was obvious that this journey was quite tiring.

In order to avoid the blizzard and the ice demon cicada, he has been using his soul power to explore the surrounding situation and provide guidance for the flight of the scaled flame sparrow.

This is safe, but the speed is extremely slow, and it can only travel five hundred miles a day.

At this moment, the area beneath their feet belonged to the intersection of the Frozen Cloud Immortal Domain and the Qianjue Cicada Ridge, and there was no trace of the blizzard.

The vast expanse of ice and snow plateau is above the clouds all year round, so it is called the fairyland.

As they continued westward, the oncoming wind and chill became heavier.

Not to mention the human primordial beings, even the orcs, the heavenly spirits, and even the traces of monsters could not be found.

The surrounding environment is no longer suitable for ordinary Yuan practitioners to practice, but it is somewhat beneficial to Yuan practitioners who control the three elements of wind, ice and water.

"It's almost the same everywhere, how are we going to go?" Yuan Yao was confused.

The scaled flame bird said: "I don't know either. I have never been to the Frozen Cloud Immortal Realm."

Li Yuan raised his head to look at the sky and said slowly: "It's getting dark, let's rest for a night before leaving.

"I will rest for the first half of the night, and you two will rest for the second half of the night.

"I don't know how dangerous this place is, so don't be careless."

Hearing this, Yuan Yao and Jie Yan nodded.

Li Yuan took out the big tent from Yunjie and quickly built it.

After that, I walked around for a while and then went into my tent to rest.

In the past six months, I have been running all the way and never let down my guard.

The consumption of soul power is greater than that of refining medicine.

This also has some benefits. Although it cannot improve the realm, the control of soul power is more precise, it is easier to detect the surrounding environment, and the soul power is more powerful.

The moment Li Yuan lay down, sleepiness hit him, and he fell into a dream in an instant.

As night falls, a wonderful scene appears in the western sky.

Under the stars, the dense light floats lightly, dimming and brightening.

Those rays of light glowed with red, blue, green, and purple colors, which were extremely magnificent.

The shapes are constantly changing, sometimes like fireworks, sometimes like longbows, sometimes like veils, sometimes like rivers.

Yuan Yao lay on Tai Yan's back, quietly looking at the night sky, admiring the beautiful scenery, looking very well-behaved.

Yan Yan was not that relaxed. She was always alert to her surroundings for fear of any hidden dangers. After all, she had never set foot in this area.

.........

Just after midnight, Li Yuan opened his eyes, stood up and walked out of the tent, arranging Yuan Yao to sleep.

"Yi Yan, you should also rest for a while!"

Li Yuan sat on the snow and looked at the huge figure beside him.

The scaled flame bird shook its head and said, "I'm not tired.

"Although I am not as fast as the earth spirit birds, I am much faster than the human metamorphosis.

"If it weren't for the blizzard and the ice demon cicada, I could fly [-] to [-] miles in one day.

"A distance of five hundred miles a day is nothing."

"Okay." Li Yuan did not insist, lying on the snow with his hands on the back of his head, admiring the slowly changing aurora.

I don't know how long it took, but the cold wind suddenly became biting and cold, and there seemed to be energy fluctuations in the distance.

Li Yuan stood up suddenly, raised his eyes and looked around, and said: "Jie Yan, you stay here to guard Xiao Yaoyao, I'll go over and take a look."

"Be careful." Yue Yan nodded.

In the past six months, her strength has recovered a lot. Although she has not reached her prime, she is still close to it.

After observing for a moment, Li Yuan rushed toward the distant light where Yuan Power surged, causing snow on the ground to splash.

.........

Above the night sky, a woman with long gray hair and a black gauze skirt trembled slightly with the scimitar under her feet, and then fell.

"Protector Meng Yi, I can't escape. You can go alone."

The woman in the black skirt shouted to the white-haired middle-aged man who was fleeing in mid-air.

"Sisi, what are you talking about? I will definitely not let anything happen to you." The middle-aged man followed her whereabouts and shouted at the same time, "Xiao Hui, protect Sisi."

As the words fell, a huge gray figure rose into the sky from the night.

"call out--"

An ice thorn lingering in the cold air shot out from high in the sky and headed straight for the woman in the black skirt.

The middle-aged man hurriedly jumped into the air, swung the long knife in his right hand, stood it upright in front of him, and quickly slashed across the blade with his left hand.

Suddenly, a dark brown spherical energy shield enveloped the middle-aged man and blocked the woman in front of him.

"laugh--"

The ice spike collided with the shield, causing circular ripples in the surrounding air.

"Crack-"

In just an instant, the dark brown energy shield cracked and then shattered.

The ice spikes that continued to move forward were much less powerful, and the middle-aged man immediately placed the long knife in his hand in front of him.

"clang--"

The sound of gold and iron resounded, and the ice spikes shattered inch by inch at a speed visible to the naked eye.

However, the energy generated by the contact between the two made the middle-aged man fly backwards several feet.

"Protector Meng Yi, be careful!" the woman in black skirt shouted.Another ice spike struck, and Meng Yi suddenly felt a great sense of oppression, as if he could not escape death.

"Boom—"

At this moment, a young man in blue robes flashed with lightning arcs all over his body, holding a short knife and slashing towards the ice thorn.

The short sword struck out with thunder and fire sword power, directly cutting off the ice thorn and sending it flying.

"Your Excellency, can you spare them?"

The young man in blue robe raised his head and looked at the giant bird with long pointed wings, red and white, almost twenty feet tall under the stars.

"Boy, what qualifications do you have to ask me to spare their lives..."

"Hmph... They want to refine me into an earthly creature, why should I spare their lives?"

The giant bird opened its beak and spit out human words.

"It's a misunderstanding. If you want any compensation, just ask."

Meng Yi coughed twice and explained to the giant bird in the sky.

"Compensation?" The giant bird sneered, "Keep your life alive...

"Boy, at your age, you can actually cut off the ice spikes formed by my Yuan Power. It's really not easy with such strength. If you interfere again..."

The young man in blue robe immediately responded: "What? You want me to keep my life?

"For the sake of having a trace of Ice Phoenix blood in your body, I will kill you, so let's go!"

The giant bird laughed wildly when he heard this: "I underestimated you.

"Since you can see that I have Phoenix blood in my body, you should know that I am not an ordinary Yuan bone monster, but a half-blood beast.

"I want to kill these two human beings. You can't protect me."

"With me...can we protect them?"

Suddenly, a huge cyan figure appeared in the night sky, much larger than the giant bird, and shouted fiercely.

"And me." Yuan Yao twisted her fists and stood above the scaled flame bird.

The giant bird didn't reply. It flapped its wings, turned its head and flew toward the sky, disappearing into the night in an instant.

It wasn't that he was afraid of Li Yuan, but the deterrence of the Yanlin Yanque made the giant bird's heart cold.

It was obvious that the Black-scaled Flame Bird was much stronger than it.

"Li Yuan..."

Facing the sudden help, Meng Yi had a look of astonishment on his face and was very excited in his heart.

"Senior Meng Yi." Li Yuan cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Let's go down and talk."

Li Yuan took action to repay Meng Yi's kindness when he sacrificed his life to protect him.

.........

In the snow under the night sky, four people and two beasts were sitting around a giant bonfire.

The firelight danced, extremely conspicuous in the gray world.

Through Meng Yi's introduction, Li Yuan roughly understood why they appeared here.

The cultivation blessed land of the Imperial Palace is usually opened nearly two years earlier than the Aoki Palace.

Not long after Lao Sisi returned to the sect from Daxia, she entered it to practice.

He came out a few months ago and has advanced to the middle stage of Nirvana.

The earth worm that Luo Sisi had before was no longer suitable and had to be re-refined.

There is a kind of monster in the Ice Cloud Immortal Realm called Snow Ice Falcon, which is particularly suitable.

Three years ago, Meng Yi reached the pinnacle of the late stage of Nirvana and was promoted to a senior protector.

Lao Sisi's task of refining the Snow Ice Falcon fell on Meng Yi.

The two of them came to the Frozen Cloud Immortal Realm and prepared to catch a late level four Snow Ice Falcon.

Although the late-level fourth-level monsters are powerful, with the peak cultivation level of Mengyi in the late-stage of Nirvana and the help of the gray walking beast, there is not much problem.

The Frozen Cloud Immortal Territory is extremely vast and has very few living creatures.

The two searched for several months, but did not find the existence of the Snow Ice Falcon.

When they were about to return to the sect to make other plans, the giant bird appeared just now, and they mistook it for the Snow Ice Falcon, and planned to refine it into an earth chinchilla.

The giant bird is a half-blood monster Xue Bingfeng Falcon, with a trace of ice phoenix blood in its body, and this Xue Bingfeng Falcon has entered the peak stage of the fourth level.

In front of the powerful Snow Ice Phoenix Falcon, Meng Yi and the Gray Beast were no match for it. Naturally, Lao Sisi had no power to fight back and could only flee in embarrassment.

“Sisi, why don’t you thank Li Yuan for coming to the rescue.

"You have fought against each other in Daxia, so you know each other." Meng Yi said.

Hearing this, she smoothed her gray hair that was a little messy in the wind from her forehead. She stood up, her body a little stiff, bowed and said, "Li Yuan, thank you!"

After saying that, she stopped talking, slowly sat down, and turned her beautiful oval face to the other side.

"Haha." Meng Yi smiled, "Sisi actually became shy.

"She's not like this normally, and it's not her fault...it's all your fault for being such a pervert.

"A few years ago in Daxia, you and Sisi were both at the peak of the Yuan Dan Realm, and now your cultivation is the same as mine.

"You originally had the ability to fight at a higher level, but your current strength is comparable to Nirvana.

“In our Yuzhao Sect, you can definitely hold the position of elder without exception.

"Coupled with your extraordinary alchemy skills, your status will not be much worse than that of the Supreme Elder of the sect."

When she won the championship in Xia Lin, Lao Sisi stood out from the crowd and could compete with Li Yuan.

But now, Li Yuan can kill him with just a raise of his hand.

No one can accept such a disparity in strength.

Li Yuan smiled slightly and said: "Senior Meng Yi, do you want to invite me to join Yuzhao Sect?"

"Is it so obvious?" Meng Yi touched his head and smiled awkwardly.

Li Yuan used a finger-thick wooden stick to stir the bonfire in front of him, and looked up at the snow and ice in the distance.

"The Master of the Yuzhao Sect practices the art of the devil, but I am not good at this art and have no advantage in the Yuzhao Sect.

"I'm majoring in two elements of thunder and wood. The thunder element can go to Leiyin Valley, and the wood element can go to the Cyanwood Hall."

Meng Yi nodded and said: "Indeed, Leiyin Valley and Qingmu Palace are more suitable for you."

"Your war beast is not bad. Although it is only a protector, with its help, your status in Yuzhao Sect must be no lower than that of the elders." Li Yuan looked at the gray walking beast.

"I'm still far from the status of an elder. I'm just better than the average protector." Meng Yi said with a bitter smile.

Touching his chin, Li Yuan pondered for a moment, and then asked slowly: "Your sect is good at refining the devil. I wonder if there is a Yuan who can refine the heavenly devil."

"Tianchi?" When Lao Sisi heard this, she immediately turned her head.

Meng Yi felt a shiver in his heart. He couldn't see through the young man in front of him and said, "You actually know about Tianzhi?"

"Haha." Li Yuan smiled lightly, "I heard it by chance. I don't know whether it is true or not, but I want to confirm it."

Back then in Beixing Tower, Madam Hei took out a third-grade primary earth sprite made from the late-level third-tier demonic beast, the spotted wolf, but was mistaken for a heavenly sprite by Ling.

Dizi is refined by Dizi masters, while the Yuan who refines Tianzhi is called Tianzhi master.

The biggest difference in the refining materials between heavenly and earthly beasts is that they require a piece of Yuan Bone, and it must at least reach the Earth Bone level.

The Earth Demon cannot grow on its own. As the Yuan Zhe's strength increases, he has to find new monsters and refining the Earth Demon.

Tianzhi, on the other hand, can grow on its own and continuously improve its strength.

However, the success rate of using earth bones to refine heavenly beasts is not high, and the growth rate is very slow. Therefore, heavenly bones are usually used to refine them.

As for the war beasts owned by Meng Yi, they are rare and rare, and they also grow with Yuan Zhe.

After taking a look at Lao Sisi, Meng Yi thought for a moment and said: "The Heavenly Devil does exist, and I didn't know about it until I was promoted to protector.

"I really don't know if the current Yuji sect has Tianji.

"The main reason is that the refining technique is too complicated. After all, that kind of thing is stronger than the power that drives their masters.

“And in addition to needing a piece of Yuan Bone that reaches at least the earth bone level, it also needs unique secret blood to have a great success rate.

“Without the secret blood, it would be too difficult to refine the Heavenly Demon.

"To control the Tianzhi, you need to refine a control jade slip that accompanies it during refining."

After saying this, Meng Yi paused and continued: "If Tianzhi was really that easy to refine, Yuzhi Sect would have surpassed Qianji Sect and even become the number one sect in the mainland.

“Our earth daggers need monster bodies, and their machine puppets need monster souls.

Li Yuan joked: "This is not a conflict, both sides have their own needs.

"You can form an alliance and conquer the monsters together."
