Lord of Bones

Chapter 571 Treasures hidden in the earth
The ice crystal python lion opened its mouth and spit out a stream of ice crystal cold light.

The cold light pierced the sky and went straight to Chu Luyan.

Chu Luyan's complexion changed slightly, and she quickly retreated. At the same time, she formed seals with her hands again, and her majestic energy instantly formed a shield.

The other six people attacked more fiercely, trying to share the pressure for Chu Luyan.

The power of their Yuan arts was astonishing. Various lights flashed, winds roared, and Yuan patterns intertwined, but the Ice Crystal Python Lion seemed not to care.

The giant tail swept across, and the cold air overflowed, neutralizing everyone's attacks.

With the help of violent energy, the ice crystal python lion showed the powerful strength of the fifth-level peak monster.

Although the seven geniuses fought together, they did not gain the upper hand in front of it.

.........

The fierce battle in the sky has lasted for half an hour, and the outcome is still unresolved, as if it is an endless contest.

Li Yuan flicked his fingers, and several bright moon stones flew out, injecting Yuanli into them.

She knew that her current cultivation level was only at the early stage of Yuanshen Realm. If she followed him forcefully, she would probably only become a burden to Li Yuan, so she warned, "Then you should be careful."

His figure shuttled through the canyon like a ghost, and the sizzling sound of electricity became the only presence.

Suddenly, it seemed like several small moons were slowly rotating around, casting soft light.

Thinking of this, he felt an inexplicable loneliness in his heart.

The wings of green thunder and fire fluttered lightly behind him, as if carrying an unyielding force, pushing Li Yuan to move forward.

"It seems that in order to enhance its own cultivation, the ice crystal python lion really devoured many monsters without mercy.

The mountains of bones have made the environment of the entire valley extremely complex, and it will probably take a lot of time to find the underground treasures.

Then, he said no more, and the wings of thunder and fire suddenly spread out from behind him. He jumped up lightly and turned into a bolt of lightning, speeding towards the icy cold canyon.

"It seems that it will be difficult for them to distinguish themselves in a short period of time."

He couldn't help but think of Yuan Yao's ability to find heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and sighed to himself.

Seeing this, Tengqing stopped insisting.

The bright brilliance is like a sharp sword, cutting through the darkness of the canyon and illuminating the surrounding scenery.

As you go deeper into the canyon, the temperature becomes colder and colder, as if you are in a thousand-year ice cellar.

As far as he could see, the white bones were like cold tombstones, and Li Yuan couldn't help but frown slightly.

Tengqing thought for a while and suggested: "Let's go together.

In the valley, the cold air was as sharp as an ice blade, piercing Li Yuan's body. He couldn't help but shiver, as if his soul was chilled.

Teng Qing noticed the deep meaning of Li Yuan's words and couldn't help but hesitate: "Are we really going to enter it?"

"After all, I have been here before, and I am quite familiar with the terrain in the canyon. I may be able to help you."

Li Yuan looked at the distant sky. The battlefield had moved hundreds of miles away, and a cunning light flashed in his eyes.

There was an unquestionable determination in his tone.

Under the control of the seven geniuses of Wenhe Baijia, the ice crystal python lion had no time to care about him, and Li Yuan was able to successfully enter the depths of the canyon.

"Hey... there are so many skeletons of level five monsters hidden here."

Li Yuan responded calmly: "It's not 'we', it's 'me'."

It was so quiet in the depths of the canyon that only the sound of breathing could be heard, and the cold air seemed to penetrate the bone marrow.

“I wonder how my little aunt is living in Frozen Cloud Immortal Pavilion?
"Did you successfully break through to the Yuanshen realm?"

"I wonder how long those seven can hold on?" Li Yuan secretly asked.

Li Yuan nodded slightly and looked at the battle circle in the sky again, as if confirming something.

Looking around at the skeletons, Li Yuan suddenly thought of something and murmured: "It seems that not all of these monsters were killed by the ice crystal python lion.

"There should be quite a few who came here for the underground treasure, but ended up dying there."

Several pieces of moonstone followed his flight path, lingering around him, emitting a soft light, like stars in the night sky, adding a bit of light to the dim canyon.

The cold environment also reminded him of Li Yunqing.

Li Yuan stared at the piles of bones around him and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

After traveling only a few miles, an astonishing scene unfolded before Li Yuan's eyes.

The light became darker and darker, as if it was swallowed up by thick darkness.

"Although the seven geniuses and the Ice Crystal Python Lion are evenly matched for the time being, this is the Wenmang Mountains, so they must have reservations. I must find the underground treasure as soon as possible." Li Yuan thought silently in his heart.

The bones of huge third- and fourth-level monster beasts were scattered all over the ground like relics from an abandoned battlefield, and the dense white bones made people shudder.

"Just wait outside, I'll go back as soon as possible."

Li Yuan waved his hand and said: "Thousands of years have passed, things and people in the canyon have changed, and no one knows what changes have occurred.

"If you had Xiao Yaoyao's ability, I would have found the underground treasure by now."

After a while, Li Yuan gradually slowed down and began to search carefully.

Memories came flooding back, and Li Yuan recalled the scene when he and Li Yunqing set foot in the Malan Mountains nearly fifty years ago.

Not only did they successfully obtain the White Jade Fruit from several geniuses in Yangyan City, but they also unexpectedly obtained the precious White Jade Snow Milk, which rapidly improved their father's cultivation.

"I don't know how far my father's cultivation has reached now with the help of the thunder seal I planted."

Just as the memories kept reappearing in his mind, the entrance to a huge cave suddenly came into view, bringing him back to reality from his meditation.

The entrance to the cave was made of bones more than a hundred feet high. The bones were covered with thick layers of ice, as if they were sealed by ice that had not melted for thousands of years.

The ice shimmered with cold light, giving off a chilling air.

"Is it inside?"

Li Yuan whispered to himself, his body vibrated with the thunder wings, and flew deep into the cave made of bones.

As we go deeper, there are fewer and fewer bones around, but the aura of the ice crystal python becomes stronger.

If it weren't for the fact that it was currently fighting a fierce battle with the Seven Prodigies, one would have to suspect that that guy was inside.

After about three miles, the space ahead suddenly became wider.

The ice crystals shimmering around it are shimmering in the cold air, and together with the scattered rocks, they form a strange cave.

The cave is extremely huge, more than two hundred feet high from the ground to the top of the cave.

Li Yuan gently landed on a huge ice crystal, looked around, and at the same time slowly released his soul power, searching carefully.

After a while, he couldn't help but frown slightly, and murmured in a low voice: "Have all the underground treasures been destroyed by the ice crystal python lion?"

Li Yuan felt an inexplicable sense of loss in his heart, but at the same time it was mixed with a bit of unwillingness.

After all, he took huge risks and went through a lot of hardships to get here. It would be a shame to return empty-handed.

Time is running out, and Li Yuan must find the underground treasure as soon as possible. Once the ice crystal python ends its battle with the seven geniuses, he will be unable to compete.

Even though he is now at the peak of the mid-stage Yuanshen Realm, he still looks small and fragile in front of the Ice Crystal Python Lion with the strength of half-step into the Pattern Realm.

Recalling the experience of fighting against the four kings of Bihai Pavilion, Li Yuan felt a trace of fear in his heart.

The strength of the half-step transformation pattern is like an insurmountable mountain.

Even though his current strength is stronger than when he merged with Yuan Yao, he still can't compete with those powerful men. Once they fight, he may not be able to survive even three moves.

Unless he can improve his cultivation to the late stage of the Yuanshen Realm, this step is more than ten times more difficult than going from the Nirvana Realm to the Yuanshen Realm.

Otherwise, a late-stage Yuanshen realm would not be called a Heavenly King.

He took a deep breath, tried his best to suppress the distracting thoughts in his heart, and continued to search.

The surrounding ice crystals flicker and emit a faint blue light, contrasting with the surrounding rocks.

The beautiful scene cannot hide the chilling atmosphere, as if there is endless danger everywhere.

Li Yuan stepped across huge ice crystals and felt the chill under his feet.

Suddenly, his soul force caught an abnormal fluctuation.

He stopped abruptly, his eyes as sharp as an eagle's, looking straight ahead.

As far as the eye can see, the ice is as smooth as a mirror, shimmering with a faint cold light.

In the ice, a crack was looming, about three feet wide and bottomless, like a wound in the earth, exuding a strange aura.

A flash of determination flashed in Li Yuan's eyes, and he clenched his palm suddenly. The majestic energy instantly condensed from his palm, turned into a violent airflow, and crashed into the ice.

"boom--"

There was a deafening loud noise, and the ice exploded under the impact of Yuanli.

Countless ice crystals splashed into the sky, drawing gorgeous trajectories in the sky, like stars falling from the sky.

Before Li Yuan could appreciate the beauty of the ice crystals, the thunder wing behind him shook violently, and his body turned into a bolt of lightning, galloping down, instantly passing through the cracks, and disappearing under the ice.

As soon as it entered the crack in the ground, a ray of nine-color divine light shot out from the center of his eyebrows, turning into a crystal clear cauldron, blocking the front.

Twenty earth-shattering blades appeared together, surrounding them, each one flashing with lightning.

He pointed forward like a sword, and the six thunder blades shot forward like arrows, breaking through the darkness ahead.

The collision between the blade and the wall of the crack in the ground sparked a burst of sparks, illuminating the space in which he moved forward.

Li Yuan's figure is like a sword, moving flexibly in the darkness.

He was particularly careful about the dark and mysterious cracks in the ground.

The exploration of soul power reaches its peak at this moment, and we are always prepared to deal with possible crises.

The cracks in the ground are so deep that they seem to go straight to the center of the earth.

After descending nearly a thousand feet, Li Yuan could clearly feel that he was slowly sinking into the embrace of the earth.

The surroundings were dark and silent, with only his breathing and heartbeat echoing in the cracks in the ground.

Suddenly, at the end of the dark crack, a faint light pierced the darkness.

It was a band of light made up of countless white light points, like the Milky Way twinkling in the night sky, bringing a touch of life to the deep underground world.

Li Yuan felt happy, as if he saw the dawn of hope, and quickly accelerated his descent.

As he gradually approached the light band, the faint halo became more obvious and expanded.

Finally, the light belt turned into a bright galaxy, shining with dazzling light, illuminating the entire underground world.

Li Yuan took a deep breath, and the wings of thunder and fire shook violently behind him, and he quickly swept out of the crack in the ground.

He squinted his eyes slightly to adjust to the sudden light, then slowly opened them and began to look at his surroundings.

When he saw the scene around him clearly, a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

Those white light spots turned out to be droplets of extremely cold water.

They were suspended in the air, densely packed, as if turning the entire underground world into a sea of ​​light.

Every drop of water exudes a soft light, reflecting each other, as if you are in a dream world.

He felt the slightest coolness brought by the water droplets, and his heart was filled with surprise.

"It's really a wonderful underground world..." Li Yuan looked at the scene in front of him and admired it from the bottom of his heart.

He stared at the sea of ​​light, his eyes flashing with exploration.

After admiring it for a moment, Li Yuan murmured softly: "The ice crystal python lion must have absorbed the power of these water droplets to greatly increase its cultivation.

"But according to Ling's memory, these water droplets are not underground treasure saliva."

He took a deep breath, slowly spread out his soul power, and moved through the sea of ​​light like a thin thread, exploring it carefully.

The range of soul power perception gradually expanded, and every subtle fluctuation could not escape his capture.

After a few breaths, Li Yuan's figure moved, like a swift stream of light, rushing towards the depths of the sea of ​​light.

His figure shuttled through the sea of ​​light, leaving behind bright thunder shadows, as if dancing with this sea of ​​light.

After flying for a certain distance, a huge vortex of light sea suddenly appeared in front.

The vortex was a hundred feet huge, constantly swallowing up the surrounding light.

There is a strong icy force in the center. The coldness is like thousands of arrows piercing the heart, which is enough to make any Yuan who is under the Yuanshen realm fall instantly.

Even with Li Yuan's level of cultivation, he could feel the biting chill, as if it was about to freeze his soul.

However, Li Yuan did not flinch. He had been practicing in the freezing cold sea for more than a year and had long been accustomed to the cold.

"Ksitigarbha treasure saliva!"

Suddenly, his pupils shrank, and his gaze was firmly fixed on a giant white python in the center of the vortex. His throat rolled unconsciously, and an unconcealable excitement appeared on his handsome face.

If it weren't for Ling's memory, he might have been confused by the white giant python and mistakenly thought it was the underground treasure saliva itself.

The white giant python is not a living creature, but is formed by the condensed cold air in the vortex of the sea of ​​light.

The real underground treasure saliva is the endless pure cold air hidden in the mouth of the giant python.

Li Yuan pointed forward, and the small crystal cauldron, surrounded by nine-colored divine light, flew towards the center of the vortex.

The white giant python transformed by the cold air seemed to sense the arrival of the Qiankun Cauldron, and immediately opened its huge mouth, revealing its sharp fangs, trying to swallow the small cauldron into its belly.

However, just when it was about to succeed, Li Yuan's mind moved, and the Qiankun Cauldron immediately trembled, and its size rapidly increased, becoming several times larger than the giant white python.

Seeing this, the white giant python turned around and tried to escape, but it was already too late.

The lid of the Qiankun Cauldron suddenly opened, and a powerful suction force instantly erupted, sucking the giant white python into the cauldron.

Afterwards, the lid of the cauldron was quickly closed, and the Qiankun Cauldron flew around in a circle before returning steadily to Li Yuan.

The nine-color divine fire in the cauldron instantly lit up, burning fiercely, and began to refine.

Li Yuan stared at the changes in the cauldron, full of expectations.

The harvest this time will be very rich.

"I don't have much time, and I can't wait for you to spit out the underground treasures on your own."

Li Yuan whispered to himself, controlled the Qiankun Cauldron, and forced the pure cold air out of the white python's body. The cold air quickly turned into pure white liquid.

After a while, he thought to himself: "That's almost enough.

"If all of them are taken away, I'm afraid it will take another thousand years for the white python transformed by the cold air to condense the underground treasure saliva again."
