Lord of Bones

Chapter 412 Not in the lair
After a brief exchange, Li Yuan understood the reason why Niu Runhong was hunted down.

Although it is a heavenly spirit, the Yuan bones in the body have not evolved into Xuan bones.

There is little hope of reaching the Yuanshen realm by relying solely on one's own cultivation.

Niu Runhong could not even touch the barrier of Nirvana and had been at the peak of perfection for hundreds of years.

This time when he came to Yunmeng Daze, he wanted to get rid of the comfortable cultivation environment of the sect and gain experience to seek opportunities for breakthrough.

Although he and Yi Huo from the Xuanhuo Sect were not close friends, they had known each other for many years.

They formed a team with three experts from Tianlinghai, Qianjimen, and Leiyin Valley who were also at the peak of Nirvana and entered the depths of Yunmeng Daze.

Over the past few months, we have been cooperating very well and have gained a lot.

Niu Runhong's purpose was not these, so he took the initiative to give up a lot of things in the early stage.

Until they encountered a seriously injured early-level fifth-level elemental bone monster.

After discussion, several people prepared to take the risk to kill the fifth-level monster whose strength was greatly reduced.

Niu Runhong proposed that he only wanted the inner elixir and nothing else, and everyone agreed to this distribution.

The five Yuanmen tried their best and sacrificed countless Yuanbao before killing the monster.

Niu Runhong got the inner elixir as he wished, but with his current level of cultivation, it was impossible to refine the inner elixir.

Moreover, refining inner elixirs has little effect on realm breakthroughs.

However, you can keep the fifth-level inner elixir by your side and observe it for a long time to gain insights, which is of great benefit to breakthroughs in cultivation.

While the others were concentrating on decomposing the corpse of the Yuan Bone monster, Yi Huo suddenly took action.

Everyone was exhausted from the battle with the monsters, not to mention that Yi Huo had already planned it and was the strongest among them.

The three strong men from Tianlinghai, Qianjimen and Leiyin Valley were attacked by their friends who had been together for several months, and their lives were instantly wiped out.

Niu Runhong, who had obtained the inner elixir of the Yuan Bone Monster Beast, became addicted to the inner elixir and was able to avoid being attacked. However, he was still chased by Yi Huo.

If he hadn't met Li Yuan, he would have died.

"Can Qingmu Palace have a teleportation array near Yunmeng Daze?"

Niu Runhong was seriously injured and the possibility of walking out of Yunmeng Daze alone was very slim, but Li Yuan did not want to waste time escorting him.

Once the miasma in Yunmeng Daze becomes strong again, even if the miasma toxins can be ignored, the soul power detection will be greatly reduced, and it will not dare to enter again.

With a long sigh, Niu Runhong said in a deep voice: "Yunmeng Daze belongs to the Bihai Pavilion area, and only they and their affiliated forces are qualified to set up the teleportation array.

"Of course Qingmu Palace can't, so every time Yunmeng Daze is opened, we rarely come here."

Hearing this, Li Yuan frowned, rubbed his chin, and pondered for a moment. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he murmured: "Affiliated forces...

"I open a temporary space transmission channel that can reach Dayan Palace.

"After you go out, directly say that you are a friend of His Highness Yan Ningsi.

"Tell me my name, Li Yuan, and I won't embarrass you."

"Are you Li Yuan?" Niu Runhong asked.

Li Yuan nodded without further explanation: "Your injury should not be left here. I will open the transmission channel for you now."

"Thank you." Niu Runhong glanced at Yi Huo's body on the ground, "Then..."

"Take everything you have."

Li Yuan took out the pattern and silk and built a transmission channel.

He hadn't spent much on the silk fabric Yan Ningsi gave him before.

It didn't take long before the temporary teleportation array was set up.

Farewell to Li Yuan, Niu Runhong jumped into the space passage.

"I wasted some time again, I have to hurry up."

After sending Niu Runhong away, Li Yuan shook his head helplessly and immediately flew towards the direction of the Silver Lightning Flying Tiger's lair.

.........

While Li Yuan was heading to the half-blood beast's lair, two other groups of people were also rushing in that direction.

One of them, Qu Chuyu and three other people from the Yuzhao Sect who arrived at the place where Peng Yanyang died in Qianjiyuan for the first time before, were thousands of miles southeast of Li Yuan.

At this moment, they did not release the demons, but moved quickly through the forest with their respective weapons, for fear of exposing their whereabouts.

"Wait a moment."

Suddenly, Qu Chuyu hovered in mid-air and raised his hand.

"Elder Qu, what's wrong?"

Ying Huadong and Tong Liangsong stopped and approached her.

"That guy isn't in the lair."

Qu Chuyu frowned slightly.

"How do you know?" Ying Huadong asked.

After pondering for a moment, Qu Chuyu twisted his wrist lightly, and a jade piece appeared in his hand.

She pointed to the thunder seal mark in the middle and explained: "This is the mark left secretly by the sect seniors who entered the Yunmeng Daze before.

“As long as you get five thousand miles closer to that place, the thunder mark will light up.

"We are now less than three thousand miles away, and it's still not light yet."

Ying Huadong frowned and said, "Did you go out to look for food? Maybe you will go back after a while."

Tong Liangsong followed: "Perhaps the mark has lost its effectiveness over time.

"After all, deep in the Yunmeng Daze, the miasma is strong, and everything will be variable."

Qu Chuyu shook his head slightly: "You don't know something. There is no miasma there for hundreds of miles. There is a sea of ​​thunder above the sky."

Suddenly, there seemed to be lightning looming in the eastern sky, and the fainter traces of light were hidden in the thick miasma.

"Boom--"

After a few breaths, a muffled thunder sounded, indicating that the distance was extremely far.

"Over there..." Qu Chuyu said in shock.

This place is thousands of miles away, except for the Silver Lightning Flying Tiger's nest, there is only miasma, and the appearance of thunder and lightning means that the guy has come out.

The three of them looked at each other and flew away in the direction of the muffled thunder.

Under another cliff shrouded in miasma, three old women in silver clothes also stared in the direction of the thunder and lightning.

"We searched carefully for hundreds of miles around the lair and found no trace. How could he go there?"

The leading old woman raised her eyebrows, her eyes showing confusion and confusion.

The auras revealed by the three of them were all at the peak of the Nirvana realm.

And all of them have touched the barrier, half-stepping into the Nirvana peak of the Yuanshen realm.

They are the three sisters of the Huang family in Leiyingu, the eldest sister Huang Huixuan, the second sister Huang Yingxuan, and the third sister Huang Ruxuan.

The three of them didn't have much life left. In the past few years, they had been searching for the thunder elemental bone monsters to exchange experiences, but they still couldn't break through that barrier.

The Yunmeng Daze is opened, and the Silver Lightning Flying Tiger is their last chance.

Yuan bone demon beasts have natural bloodline advantages, and their longevity is far beyond that of humans.

You can advance through just killing and devouring other Yuan beings.

Relying on the process of bloodline cultivation, you can gain unique insights and experiences, which are different from the normal way of cultivation.

However, in order to quickly improve their cultivation, the powerful yuan bone monsters often look for strong human beings as communication objects.

The three Huang sisters are all thunder elements, and the Silver Lightning Flying Tiger with his backbone is naturally the best choice, so he took the risk to come here.

“Essential bone monsters rarely leave their territory.

"If he doesn't even need a nest, he will inevitably encounter things that are difficult for him to cope with."

Huang Huixuan speculated.

After thinking about it, she added: "If he is really in trouble, if we lend a helping hand, we might be able to get a breakthrough."

The two sisters beside him both nodded, and then they flew towards the place where the thunder and lightning appeared.

.........

Above the sky, the colorful miasma gradually dissipated and was replaced by countless winding electric snakes.

Electric snakes were flying in the dark clouds and strong winds were rising, like a doomsday scene.

"What a strong, pure thunder elemental power."

Li Yuan grabbed a handful of air and took a deep breath.

When a certain energy of heaven and earth qi occupies a large amount, it is particularly suitable for practitioners who cultivate this energy.

In other words, this is a training ground for thunder elementalists.

Ling suddenly said in Li Yuan's heart: "For those with thunder elements, this place is no less than Wood Spirit Valley." And it is not restricted by the colorful magic crystal, and it seems that there is still a lot of flavor of Tears of Thunder Flame left.

"Unfortunately, it is too weak and too old. It is estimated that no new Tears of Thunder Flame have been produced for nearly ten thousand years."

"Tears of Thunder Flame? What is that?" Li Yuan was puzzled.

Ling explained: "Tears of Thunder Flame is actually a kind of elixir, pure thunder energy that looks like a flame.

"There is a very small chance that this object will be born from the thunder in a thunderstorm.

“But it’s impossible to obtain the Transformation Realm.

"In addition, there are also some places with strong thunder and lightning that will form..."

Li Yuan listened to Ling's explanation, and thunder filled his ears one after another.

He stared in awe at the area in front of him that stretched for hundreds of miles, with jagged rocks, peaks reaching into the clouds, and peaks upon mountains.

After a long time, he took out the map, looked into the distance, and compared it.

After Li Yuan confirmed that the place was correct, he put away the map, walked on the cauldron, and rushed towards the central area.

A wave of air passed through the sky, and ripples perpendicular to the ground spread instantly.

Wave after wave of waves continued to emerge, spreading around like ripples on the water, with sonic booms that were deafening.

In less than half an hour, a towering stone mountain appeared in Li Yuan's sight, much higher than the surrounding stone mountains.

Under the stone mountain, a huge cave entrance suddenly appeared, nearly two hundred feet high.

The stone walls around the cave entrance are rough and uneven, covered with traces of time.

There were ancient chains hanging on the edge, and there seemed to be traces of thunder and lightning.

Li Yuan landed a thousand feet outside the cave, clinging to a huge rock and observing the cave carefully.

"It is indeed the aura of the Silver Lightning Flying Tiger."

Having refined this kind of monster once, he was very familiar with it.

Judging from the permeating aura, there is indeed a silver lightning flying tiger living here, and it has not reached level five.

Lingdao: "Something is wrong, it seems that he is not in the cave at the moment.

"Judging from the remaining breath, it should have been two days since I left."

When Li Yuan heard this, his heart sank.

He stopped observing and quickly jumped towards the cliff.

He made several leaps, turned over flexibly in the air, and his feet touched the ground softly, as if there was no weight at all.

Looking around, looking for traces of aura, I felt something was not good.

He stepped hard with the sole of his foot and arched his body slightly, like an arrow from the string, instantly passed through the cave entrance and disappeared into the depths of the deep cave, leaving only a string of thunder shadows flickering at the edge of the cave entrance.

The giant cave is unusually spacious, but not dark.

There are many silver lightning crystals inlaid on the cave wall. The arc flashes, illuminating the surroundings, and then quickly disappears and dims.

The alternating light of on and off, coupled with the constant sizzling sound of electricity, makes the entire cave appear mysterious.

These lightning crystals are ordinary rock crystals that have been corroded by the elemental force of the thunder system for a long time, producing some lightning.

Crystals covered with silver arcs are dotted in the spacious and deep caves, shining with mysterious light, showing the former glory and majesty of this place.

The floor of the cave is made of thick layers of animal bones and human bones.

These skeletons come from tens of thousands of monsters and Yuans of other races who have visited here, and are full of mystery and terror.

Ling judged from the strength and residual aura of these bones that many of them were strong men in the Transformation Realm who could tear apart the void.

After endless years, it still maintains its original state, but the energy contained in it has long been exhausted.

Through the crystals, cave walls and bones on the ground, it is easy to see that this ancient cave house was home to more than a hundred silver and electric flying tigers.

Monsters are born to absorb other Yuan beings and kill to increase their strength. They do not value maximizing energy and only rely on the ability of their bloodline.

Except for those Yuan bone demon beasts that have some of the blood of divine beasts, most of them advance slowly.

Only after going through celestial tribulations, entering the transformation pattern, and incarnating into a human being, with the same longevity of all major races, can they learn some human methods.

The cave was very large, and Li Yuan did not use his soul power to explore it, but walked around inside in person.

After exploring all areas, he still found no trace of the Silver Lightning Flying Tiger.

"How come there isn't? Could it be that I was really late and someone else got there first?"

Li Yuan's heart skipped a beat. After spending so much time and wasting so much effort, except for getting some property along the way, the final goal was not achieved.

In his view, activating one's backbone cannot be measured by property. It will become stronger as one's strength increases.

He is now in the state of Nirvana. It will not take long for him to reach the peak and touch the barrier.

But once you break through the Yuanshen realm and want to activate your spine, you will definitely not be able to do it with a level four monster.

If you capture Level [-], the difficulty is unimaginable.

"still none?"

Li Yuan walked around the cave a few more times, still not believing the fact that there was no Silver Lightning Flying Tiger here.

After a while of silence, he checked the cave twice more, but there was no trace.

His head became a little foggy, as if it was shrouded in thick clouds, and his thoughts were confused.

Sitting feebly on a stone platform, silent, with his head drooped, as if he was carrying his heavy thoughts and the fatigue deep in his heart.

All strength seemed to have been drained from the body, and even the fingertips were unable to hang down.

"Be alert, do you think the blade marks over there look familiar?"

After an unknown amount of time, Ling suddenly spoke out.

He slowly raised his head, with a trace of confusion and exhaustion still in his eyes.

"Eh... this is..."

Seeing a blade mark on the cave wall, he immediately jumped up and passed over.

He touched it with his fingers, was slightly startled, and said in astonishment: "Earth Blade?"

"Yes, it was indeed left by the Earth Evil Blade." Ling affirmed.

Just by looking at a mark, you can tell what caused it. I am afraid that only he and Ling have this ability in the entire Qinggu Continent.

The six earth-shattering blades were inside his body, and he was very familiar with them.

"It seems that someone got there first, and he is also a thunder elementalist with an Earth Blade." Ling said calmly.

Hearing this, Li Yuan became energetic.

I was looking for the Silver Lightning Flying Tiger before, but I didn't check it carefully.

Looking back now, it seems like there wasn't any blood left here.

Li Yuan nodded and speculated: "Yes. It seems that he escaped.

“The Earth Evil Blades of Aoki Palace and Frozen Cloud Immortal Pavilion are in my hands.

“There are still seven major sects including Bihai Pavilion, Qianji Sect, Xuanhuo Sect, Leiyin Valley, Jinling Mountain, Yuzhi Sect and Tianlinghai Sect.

"There are many evil blades in Leiyin Valley, and there are also secret techniques that can be activated even if you are not in the Yuan Shen realm.

"For the other six sects, if they want to activate the Earthly Evil Blade, they must be in the Yuanshen realm.

"Who is here to force the Silver Lightning Flying Tiger away?"

Lingdao: "No matter which sect, as long as you haven't left Yunmeng Daze, there must be a feeling between the earth evil blades.

"If you find the Yuan Zhe who possesses the Earth Evil Blade, you may be able to meet the Silver Lightning Flying Tiger."

Li Yuan said in surprise: "In Yunmeng Daze, between the Earth Evil Blades, can you still sense it?"

"You should know now that the six earth-shattering blades can turn into thunder whips." Ling said.

"Yunmeng Daze has a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles, can it really be sensed?" Li Yuan confirmed again.

Ling sighed and said: "Okay, let's try to sense it the way you turned the six earth-shattering blades into thunder whips."

"it is good……"

Li Yuan closed his eyes slightly and slowly twisted his wrist with his palm facing up.

Six slender electric rays slowly emerged from the palm of the hand, turning into six small blades, jumping nimbly in the hand.

After a moment, Li Yuan raised his sword with his left hand and pointed directly outside the cave.

The small blade suddenly grew in size and connected into a thunder whip, like a solid electric light.

The thunder whip circled twice in the cave and flew towards the entrance.

Summoning the Qiankun Cauldron, Li Yuan followed.
