Lord of Bones

Chapter 621 Tianyun's Past

After sealing the soul origin of the Sperm-Devouring Demon Vine, Li Yuan's attention finally turned to the giant vine that was devouring the beast body of the demon vine.

The vines squirmed slowly, as if enjoying this delicious meal.

However, even after devouring it for such a long time, it was only able to refine less than 10% of the demon vine.

Li Yuan frowned slightly: "It seems that they will need a long time to completely refine the original beast body of this demon vine."

He sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes and began to rest, recovering the spiritual power he had previously consumed.

During this process, his mind was always focused on the refining progress of the giant vine.

.........

After an unknown amount of time, Li Yuan's face gradually regained its rosy color. He slowly opened his eyes and glanced around.

The entire underground palace was silent, as if even the air had frozen.

Li Yuan looked at the powerful Heavenly Kings lying on the ground. Their bodies had lost their vitality and it was obvious that there was no hope of survival.

These powerful men are very important in their respective forces, and their rings must contain a lot of good things.

Li Yuan took their rings one by one without hesitation.

When his eyes fell on Xue Yuze, Wei Yuer and Xi Muxue, he was surprised to find that the three were still alive.

Although these three people looked a little weak, they did not suffer any serious injuries. It was obvious that they were just attacked by the black fog and could not use their Yuanli and soul power.

Li Yuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "As expected of a genius from one of the major sects, he can still save his life even in such a dangerous situation."

However, he also knew that although these three people survived, they would probably need a long period of recuperation to fully recover their strength.

After all, Wei Yuer and the other two did not have the same terrifying ability as him to be immune to all poisons.

Recalling the scene when he first entered the underground palace, Li Yuan remembered that these three people had reminded him.

Although those reminders were mostly for the purpose of self-protection, at least they made them alert.

Li Yuan was not a bloodthirsty person, so he decided to take Wei Yuer and the other two with him when he left.

The restricted space was like an invisible cage, completely isolating the news of Zuo Feihong's life and death and the removal of the sperm-eating demon vine.

From the outside world, whether it is the noisy wind or the drifting dust, they cannot penetrate this layer of spatial isolation and cannot capture any movement inside the underground palace.

Once the formation that seals the space is opened, the Tianyun Sect will immediately know everything that happened here.

Li Yuan also knew that even if there was a large formation to seal off this space, it would not be completely safe.

"That old fox Shui Qing may have noticed something and may send some strong men to check it out." Li Yuan said secretly in his heart.

At this moment, Li Yuan can only place his hopes on Xiaobai and Tengqing.

I hope they can absorb and refine the Sperm-Devouring Demon Vine as soon as possible.

Time seemed to slow down at this moment.

There was silence in the underground palace.

There was only the slight sound made by Teng Qing absorbing the original body of the demon vine, and the occasional weak breathing sound from Xiao Bai.

These sounds echoed in the empty underground palace and were extremely clear.

.........

"laugh--"

Deep in the vast mountains millions of miles away from the Jinglan Feng family ruins, a long and narrow crack suddenly appeared in the sky.

Immediately afterwards, a loud roar was heard, and the space shattered like a mirror. Dozens of figures suddenly flashed out from it, each with an extraordinary aura.

Leading the group was an old man in white, with white hair and beard, but he looked energetic, with his sleeves fluttering in the wind.

"Elder Mu Cheng, what is the mission this time?"

"We were not notified in advance and were teleported here."

"This teleportation array is extremely hidden. It probably hasn't been activated for some years."

"The teleportation record point given by the sect does not include this location."

"Not only is it not on the map of our Tianyun Sect, I've also looked at other teleportation point maps, and it's not there either."

Not long after, the group of Yuanists behind the old man in white asked why they were suddenly gathered here.

Obviously, they all received the notice hastily and rushed here from different regions.

The old man looked around with sharp eyes, as if he was looking for something or worried about potential threats.

He waved his hand to interrupt everyone's discussion, his voice low and powerful: "Okay, everyone, let's get on the Yuanzhou first."

The old man waved his right hand lightly, and a dazzling green light shot out from the inconspicuous black ring on his finger.

A green light drew an arc in the air, followed by a roar.

In a flash, the green light turned into a huge green boat, floating in the air.

The Yuanzhou has a simple shape and the boat body emits a faint green light.

Led by the old man in white, everyone turned into streams of light and flew towards the green Yuan Zhou.

A moment later, the Huangxuan Yuanzhou sped through the air, like a blue lightning that cut through the sky, leaving a long trail of light.

After flying for a while, Tianyun Sect Elder Mu Cheng finally gathered everyone in a spacious hall.

Inside the hall, the light was soft and the walls were inlaid with light crystals that emitted a warm glow.

“It happened suddenly, and I was only notified to be on standby a few days ago.

“It was not until a few hours ago that I was appointed as the person in charge of this mission that I learned the specific tasks.” Mu Cheng sat in the first seat and spoke lightly with a serious expression.

The Yuan said, "Elder Mu Cheng, you are the fourth elder of our Shuiyun Peak.

"It must be a matter of great importance for you to personally take action."

The old man nodded, his eyes swept over the masters in the hall one by one, and then he continued:
"Although you are the guardians of Shuiyun Peak, you only take orders from the Second Elder. You should know that this mission is not a trivial matter."

Hearing this, all the strong men nodded.

"Could it be that our mission is related to the fight between the First Elder and the Third Elder?"

After Mu Cheng's reminder, some Yuan people guessed a little.

“Yes and no.

“This mission concerns the reputation of Tianyun Sect.

"The mission location is the long-forgotten Jinglan Feng Clan."

After organizing his thoughts, the old man began to tell the story.

At the same time, in the underground palace of the Feng family ruins, millions of miles away from the Huangxuan Yuanzhou, Li Yuanzheng was concentrating on exploring the hidden rings of the Tianyun Sect disciples.

This time, the Tianyun Sect obviously came for the Spirit-Devouring Demon Vine, and their annihilation was more or less related to Li Yuan.

Therefore, Li Yuan must understand the situation of Tianyun Sect clearly in order to respond.

As time went by, Li Yuan's expression gradually became solemn.

He detected some disturbing information from these rings.

The Tianyun Sect's desire and ambition for the Sperm-Devouring Demon Vine far exceeded his imagination.

.........

In the Wen River Basin, the Tianyun Sect, as the leader of the four lower sects, is like a bright pearl, shining brightly. The three peaks in the sect each have their own characteristics, namely the blazing Huoyun Peak, the bustling Shuiyun Peak, and the misty Tianyun Peak.

Among them, more than 90% of the sect’s inner disciples gathered at Shuiyun Peak.

This is a holy place for new disciples to practice. Disciples who have just entered the inner sect of Tianyun Sect will start their practice path here.

However, the entry requirements for human Yuanzhe in Tianyun Sect are extremely harsh.

A Yuanzhe without bloodline inheritance who wants to become a member of the Tianyun Sect must break through to the Nirvana realm before the age of thirty.

This is an insurmountable threshold that discourages countless metaphysical people.

This threshold is equivalent to wanting to step into the gate of Tianyun Sect. The Yuanzhe must have a congenital first-class mortal bone in his body, or evolve a lower-class mortal bone into a first-class mortal bone.

In other words, in Da Xia of Qinggu Continent, Li Yuan possesses the dragon bone, which is enough to make him stand out among countless young people and become a top genius admired by everyone.

However, under the extremely strict selection standards of Tianyun Sect, even if one possesses dragon bones, one can only barely meet the minimum requirements for joining the sect.

This condition basically excludes those Yuan people who do not possess Yuan bones.

If one wants to enter Shuiyun Peak, one must either reach the Nirvana realm before the age of 25, or cultivate to the Yuanshen realm in an outer sect.

Of course, there are also some gifted people who have been favored by the Tianyun Sect since childhood and were directly recruited to Shuiyun Peak or Huoyun Peak for training.

Ruan Ningmeng and Zuo Feihong are the best among this type of geniuses.

Their names are well-known in the sect and are the objects of admiration of countless disciples.

Shuiyun Peak and Huoyun Peak have very different styles.

Shuiyun Peak is like a vast ocean, gathering countless young and powerful Yuanists.

They exchange ideas and learn from each other here, and jointly pursue the ultimate in cultivation.

The Huoyun Peak, on the other hand, is more like a mysterious volcano, hiding the sect's top alchemists, treasure refiners, formation masters and other masters.

They studied the mysteries of heaven and earth, and refined countless magical elixirs, ingots, array patterns, and so on.

Huoyun Peak does not select disciples based on their Yuan cultivation level.

On the contrary, they value the Yuanzhe's talent in refining medicine, refining treasures, and array formations.

As long as one has achievements in these fields, one has the possibility of being selected into Huoyun Peak.

This also leads to the relatively small number of disciples in Huoyun Peak, but each one of them is an elite among the elites.

There is a clear division of labor between the two peaks and they do not interfere with each other.

Shuiyun Peak is responsible for cultivating the sect's combat power, while Huoyun Peak is responsible for providing material support such as elixirs and ingots.

The two complement each other and jointly maintain the prosperity and stability of Tianyun Sect.

As for Tianyun Peak, it is the foundation of Tianyun Sect.

All the top powerhouses except the masters of the other two peaks gathered on this peak.

They either successfully experienced the baptism of the heavenly calamity, or survived the cruelty of the heavenly calamity but unfortunately became powerful monsters.

These powerful men usually live in seclusion and rarely show up in public.

Only when the sect is facing a critical moment of life and death will they show up and display their earth-shaking power.

Ten thousand years ago, the position of the head of Shuiyun Peak had been vacant for a long time.

For hundreds of years, there has been no new powerful person in the Huawen realm to take on this important task.

This situation is like a malignant tumor, gradually eroding the foundation of the sect.

The vacancy of the throne led to an imbalance of power within the sect, and the power of the elders grew increasingly powerful.

For their own benefit, they are willing to damage the overall interests of the sect.

In order to solve this dilemma, Tianyun Peak finally took action.

They sent Qiao Muhong, a powerful warrior in the late Huawen realm, to temporarily take over the position of the head of Shuiyun Peak.

Dealing with a sect may seem simple, but in reality it is like walking on thin ice.

It is especially difficult for old monsters who have been in seclusion for many years and have unfathomable cultivation.

Qiao Muhong, a leader in the Tianyun Sect, originally hoped to teach the disciples of the sect carefully, understand the way of cultivation from their growth, and thus improve his cultivation to a higher level.

However, things often develop unexpectedly.

Qiao Muhong thought he could easily manage Shuiyun Peak in an orderly manner, but reality poured cold water on him.

Not only did he fail to manage Shuiyun Peak as he wished, but he also plunged the entire sect into unprecedented chaos.

Faced with such a situation, Qiao Muhong felt mixed emotions.

He was too embarrassed to go back to Tianyun Peak, and he couldn't face his old friends.

So he turned away, leaving the sect that once made him proud.

Over a dozen years passed, and Qiao Muhong made continuous breakthroughs in his cultivation, finally reaching the Half-Step Life Spirit Realm.

He returned to the sect to make up for his mistakes of the past.

However, he did not return alone, but brought the sperm-eating demon vine with him.

The Sperm-Eating Demon Vine has the magical ability to differentiate the essence of cultivation liquid, which is undoubtedly a powerful weapon for reorganizing the sect.

However, although the cultivation essence liquid is good, it requires a constant supply of vitality to nourish it.

In order to satisfy its own cultivation needs, the Essence-Devouring Demon Vine began to unscrupulously absorb the essence of all living creatures in the sect that could help it cultivate.

As his strength increases, he needs more and more vitality.

The supply from Tianyun Sect gradually failed to meet the needs of the Sperm-Devouring Demon Vine, and he began to turn his attention to the disciples of Tianyun Sect.

At first, his actions were relatively covert, but as time went on, he became more and more brazen.

More and more disciples of Tianyun Sect disappeared mysteriously, and this incident finally alarmed the top leaders of Tianyun Peak.

Qiao Muhong knew very well that he was involved in this matter and tried to kill the Spirit-Devouring Vine, but was opposed by some powerful people from the sect.

After all, the existence of the Sperm-Eating Demon Vine has brought many benefits to the sect, and a group of cultivation geniuses have emerged.

Just as Qiao Muhong was racking his brains for a solution, an elder named Feng suggested sealing the sperm-eating vine.

This would not only solve the current crisis, but also allow the Sperm-Devouring Demon Vine to continue to provide the sect with essential fluid for cultivation.

I have to say, this method is a perfect solution.

This proposal was also unanimously agreed upon by the strong men on Tianyun Peak, and no one raised any objections.

This elder with the surname Feng is a member of the Feng clan.

Although he has severed ties with the Feng family, deep down he still does not want to see the family decline.

.........

The ancient Jinglan Feng family once prospered under the protection of the Yin Lei Palace.

With the gradual decline of the Yin Lei Palace and the decadence of the clan's young men, the Feng family became increasingly weak and was on the verge of becoming an ordinary family outside of the hundreds of families in Wenhe.

At the critical moment of life and death of the family, an opportunity came quietly.

The strange demon vine that can differentiate the essence of cultivation liquid becomes the hope for the rise of the Feng family.

If the task of suppressing the demon vine is obtained, not only can the Feng family regain its strength, but it can also rely on the powerful Tianyun Sect and once again rank among the top 100 families in Wenhe.
