Lord of Bones

Chapter 652: Xuanyin Thunder Region
More than a month later, several figures stood quietly beside the Ziquan Pond.

The lake water is like a mirror, reflecting the gradually dimming glow of the sky, making it look particularly mysterious.

A breeze blew by, and ripples appeared on the surface of the lake.

The woman in red stood by the pond, her clothes fluttering in the wind like a burning flame.

She looked at the blue-robed young man in front of her, with a complex look in her eyes, and asked with some expectation: "Li Yuan, are you really not considering joining the Blood Demon Lake?"

Li Yuan shook his head slightly, his eyes firm: "I have already made plans in my mind, and I have no intention of joining the sect for the time being."

He paused for a moment, and then added: "If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely go to the Blood Demon Lake to pay a visit to you, Senior."

Upon hearing this, Xue Yunsu sighed softly, seeming a little disappointed, but soon regained her composure, as if she was thinking about something.

After a while, she finally made up her mind and asked, “In just a few years, your cultivation has actually improved to a higher level. This speed is truly amazing.

"Did you make a deal with the Sperm Devouring Vine?"

Li Yuan sighed and said, "It seems that after Xue Yuze returned to the sect, he still told everyone about the Jinglan Feng clan's underground palace."

Xue Yunsu spoke slowly: "This matter is of great importance, it involves the sect and is very involved, so Xue Yuze naturally dare not conceal it.

"But you can rest assured that only we old bones know about this matter in the Blood Demon Lake."

Li Yuan waved his hand gently and said calmly: "Senior, I may have misunderstood.

“I have not made any deal with the Sperm Devouring Vine.

“Although my improvement in cultivation is related to him, it is not through absorbing the demon blood order as rumored by the outside world.

“If that’s really the case, the Sperm Devouring Demon Vine should stay with me to help me quickly improve my cultivation.

"Since I decided to spare the lives of the three sects' geniuses that day, I did not intend to hide the underground palace."

Xue Yunsu smiled slightly, as if he could see through everything: "Li Yuan, don't think that I don't know what you are thinking.

“You just want to use them to divert the attention of Tianyun Sect.

"You have been hiding your whereabouts in the past few years. Tianyun Sect has negotiated with several of our sects about the underground palace."

The moonlight was like water, sprinkling on the Ziquan Pond, making the ripples sparkle.

Li Yuan stood by the pond, looking at the water in the moonlight and said calmly: "Senior, if you have any questions, feel free to ask.

“It is fate that we met at Ziquantan.

"I, Li Yuan, will never hide anything from you."

Xue Yunsu nodded, his eyes became sharper: "Then I won't be polite.

"Where is the Sperm Devouring Demon Vine now?"

As the words fell, the atmosphere around them seemed to become tense.

"What?" A trace of doubt flashed across Li Yuan's brows, and he looked directly at Xue Yunsu, "Xuesha Lake also wants to devour the spirit demon vine?"

Xue Yunsu shook his head and said, “To be honest, among the lower four sects, although Tianyun Sect still maintains its leading position, the gap between it and the other three sects has gradually narrowed.

“As the ancestor of Blood Evil Lake, I naturally do not want the existing balance among the four sects to be disrupted.

"A spirit-devouring demon vine that is comparable to a Life Spirit Realm expert will disrupt this delicate balance no matter which sect it joins."

After listening to Xue Yunsu's words, Li Yuan nodded slightly, with a smile on his face: "Senior, you are far-sighted, and I admire you.

"Senior, rest assured that the Sperm Devouring Demon Vine will not join any sect."

After receiving Li Yuan's affirmative answer, Xue Yunsu's tense expression relaxed. Then, he changed the subject and asked, "You are not from the Longyang Li family, right?"

Li Yuan did not comment, but smiled and asked, "Why are you so sure, senior?"

The moonlight shines on his handsome face, adding a sense of mystery.

Xue Yunsu glanced at the old lady in green clothes beside him, his eyes gleaming, and he said slowly: "The cultivation level of the senior should be far higher than that of the junior.

“With a strong man like you by his side, if Li Yuan is really a descendant of the Longyang Li family, then the Longyang Li family should have long been ranked first among the sixteen major families among the hundreds of families in Wenhe.

"I have made this judgment because the Yuangu aptitude of the Longyang Li family members in the Blood Evil Lake has not been outstanding in recent years."

Hearing this, Li Yuan smiled and said, "Senior, you are very observant.

“Teng Qing is my friend. Due to some unspeakable reasons, his cultivation level has dropped drastically.

"She just wanted to come here through me to use the energy of the Purple Spring Pond to recover some of her cultivation."

Xue Yunsu did not pursue the matter further. The old woman in green in front of her had only recovered to the initial stage of Huawen Realm, the same as her.

But that vague and unfathomable aura made her feel an unprecedented sense of oppression.

She even speculated that if she really fought him, her chances of winning would be extremely low.

Xue Yunsu pondered for a moment, then slowly turned his gaze towards Li Yuan, with a hint of inquiry: "You have become famous in recent years, and I know a little about your whereabouts.

"I heard that you can use a lot of lightning blades, and I am quite curious."

Li Yuan heard this and his mind moved. He waved his hand lightly and several Earthly Blades appeared out of thin air, surrounding him with colorful lightning. He asked, "Senior, are these what you are referring to?"

Xue Yunsu's eyes instantly became sharp, staring at those Earthly Blades, with a look of surprise on his face: "It turns out to be the Lightning Yin Thunder Blades.

“So it seems that you have a connection with Yin Lei Palace?
"Are you the heir of Yin Lei Palace?"

Li Yuan hurriedly explained: "Senior, you misunderstood, I am not the heir of Yin Lei Palace.

“In fact, I only heard of the name of Yin Lei Palace in recent years.

"By chance, I learned how to use these lightning blades.

"As for their origins, I'm sorry I can't tell you in detail."

“So that’s how it is.” Xue Yunsu’s expression gradually returned to calm, “More than a thousand years ago, when I first heard of the name of Yin Lei Palace, this sect had already disappeared for tens of thousands of years.

“I didn’t expect to see the legendary Lightning Yin Lei Blade today.

"You are so young, but you have already touched the barrier of the king of heaven. You will definitely have many opportunities along the way."

"Senior, I have something to ask you." Li Yuan did not comment, but finally could not help but mention the doubt in his heart, "Do you know where the Yin Lei Palace's sect used to be?"

Xue Yunsu hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "The location of Yin Lei Palace is not a secret to most Yuan practitioners.

"With your cultivation and strength, you should have heard of it."

"Please explain clearly, senior." Li Yuan was a little confused.

Xue Yunsu seemed to be lost in memories: “Generally, after entering the Yuanshen realm, the life span of Yuan practitioners increases dramatically, but it becomes more difficult to improve their cultivation.

“Everyone will be exposed to a wider world and get to know some hidden places.

“Those places often hide various opportunities and secrets.

"Yin Lei Palace is one of them."

She looked up into the distance, as if she could cross the boundaries of time and space and see the distant past.

After a while, she slowly opened her mouth and told Li Yuan about the legends and secrets of Yin Lei Palace. As she narrated, the image of a mysterious and powerful sect gradually emerged in Li Yuan's mind.

In the vast Wen River Basin, there is a mysterious place called Xuanyin Thunder Domain.

The Xuanyin Thunder Region is the location of the Yinlei Palace.

It is also a holy place forgotten by time but still protected by thunder.

The Xuanyin Thunder Region seemed like a crack in heaven and earth.

Dark clouds cover the sky all year round, thick and oppressive, tightly binding the sky and the earth together.

The sunlight can hardly penetrate the thick clouds, and only occasionally casts mottled light and shadows through the gaps in the clouds, adding a touch of mystery to that dark world.

Under the sky, thunder roared endlessly, sometimes like a dancing silver snake, sometimes like a tumbling dragon, roaming freely in the air.

Every bolt of thunder contains the power to destroy the heavens and the earth, as if it is the wrath of the gods, constantly destroying this world.

As time flies, Xuanyin Thunder Realm has witnessed the rise and fall of Yinlei Palace.

The Yin Lei Palace was once glorious and its reputation spread far and wide, even comparable to the Lingyun Sect, the leader of the seven sects.

However, time is merciless, and as the years passed, the Yin Lei Palace gradually declined.

Under the baptism of thunder again and again, this once glorious sect gradually turned into ruins, leaving behind only countless sad legends.

Today, although the Yin Lei Palace has disappeared for tens of thousands of years, the lightning energy within the Xuan Yin Lei Domain has become increasingly strong.

These energies roamed freely in the area, filling every inch of land with a violent aura.

The Xuanyin Thunder Region seems to be a country of thunder and lightning. Every bolt of lightning is a citizen here, growing and multiplying freely on this land, turning it into a holy place full of dangers and opportunities.

Even a strong person in the Huawen realm must be cautious in the Xuanyin Thunder Domain and be alert to the thunder around him at all times, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

Because here, a seemingly ordinary bolt of lightning may contain enough power to kill them.

It is this environment where danger and opportunity coexist that attracts countless Yuanists to come and explore, eager to find their own adventures and the treasures left by the Yin Lei Palace.

Every two hundred years, this holy land shrouded in violent thunder will show its alluring side.

The thunder gradually weakened, as if a furious beast had temporarily calmed down its rage, opening a door to the ruins of the Yin Lei Palace for those courageous Yuanists, staging a treasure hunt feast.

However, even when the thunder weakened, the Xuanyin Thunder Domain was still full of danger.

Ordinary Yuanshen realm experts who step into the Xuanyin Thunder Domain can only move around in the fringe areas.

For those Yuanzhe who want to go deep into the core area of ​​Xuanyin Thunder Domain, without the cultivation of the late Yuanshen Realm, it is almost equivalent to stepping into the land of death.

Even a strong person with such cultivation could lose his life if he is not careful.

Although the Xuanyin Thunder Domain has been listed as a restricted area for disciples by several major sects.

But the ancient ruins, mysterious caves and treasures hidden deep inside still attract the attention of countless Yuanists like a magnet.

Faced with the huge temptation, strong men from various forces have set out one after another, venturing into it during the period when the thunder weakened, hoping to find a glimmer of opportunity.

Even during the period when the thunder is weakening, the Xuanyin Thunder Domain cannot be easily crossed.

The terrifying thunder force in the area will still produce a powerful no-fly suppression, making the flying speed of the Yuan people less than one hundredth of its full speed.

A strong person in the Huawen realm possesses powerful Yuanli, and it will take at least half a century for him to cross the Xuanyin Thunder Domain.

If they need to explore some areas, and take into account the time spent recovering their energy, the exploration process will take at least more than sixty years.

For Yuanzhe below the Huawen realm, the Xuanyin Thunder Domain is an even more dangerous trap.

If you stay there for even a moment, you may end up in endless trouble.

Once trapped, you will not be able to get out for hundreds of years, and your lifespan will be exhausted, turning into dust on this land.

Of course, if you only move on the edge of the Xuanyin Thunder Domain, the degree of danger will be greatly reduced.

Even so, we must always be vigilant against sudden outbursts of thunder.

Because the period of weakening of thunder will not exceed half a century.

Xue Yunsu's words echoed in Li Yuan's ears, making his face as heavy as a block of lead.

His original firm determination to find the Earthly Blade seemed to be suffocated by an invisible mountain and was being destroyed bit by bit.

Unwillingness and doubt flashed in his eyes. After a moment of silence, Li Yuan finally couldn't help but ask, "Senior, I wonder when the next time the power of thunder in the Xuanyin Thunder Domain weakens?"

Xue Yunsu seemed to have expected Li Yuan to ask this question. With unquestionable confidence, he said, "About three to five years."

Li Yuan heard this and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He hesitated and asked again: "How did you calculate the time so clearly, senior?"

Xue Yunsu explained: "The time it takes for the thunder in the Xuanyin Thunder Region to weaken has formed a pattern through the observation and calculation of the sages of all generations.

“Although the specific time may vary each time, it is only one or two years at most.

“This is not a secret. After all, it is the only chance for everyone to enter and search for treasures.

“Except for the ancestors of our sect, the average Yuan Master only has two or three such opportunities in his lifetime.

"Because of your presence, the number of Yuan practitioners entering to explore this time is probably several times more than before."

"Hmm?" Li Yuan asked in confusion, "What does this have to do with me?"

Xue Yunsu's eyes fell on the Earthly Blade in front of Li Yuan, and he said calmly, "Of course it's the Lightning Yin Thunder Blade in your hand.

“Now, the reputation of the Longyang Li family is spreading among all forces.

“Everyone speculated that the Longyang Li family might have inherited the Yin Lei Palace.

“I am also quite curious about your ability to control multiple lightning blades.

"After all, Emperor Yin Lei relied on this treasure to roam freely in the River Pattern Region, and no one dared to compete with him."

When Li Yuan heard this, his expression changed slightly and a look of vigilance appeared in his eyes.

Seeing this, Xue Yunsu chuckled and said soothingly, “Don’t worry, I have no intention of taking the Lightning Yin Lei Blade from you, I am just purely curious.

“After all, even in the Yin Lei Palace, only Emperor Yin Lei can activate multiple lightning Yin Lei blades.

"Moreover, with this senior here, how dare I think of taking action against you?"

As he spoke, Xue Yunsu turned his gaze to Teng Qing.

Li Yuan secretly felt fortunate in his heart. If Teng Qing had not been present, he really didn't know whether Xue Yunsu would attack him.

Although the ancestor of the Blood Evil Lake appears to be amiable on the surface, who knows what she really thinks.

In this world where the strong prey on the weak, strength is the only thing that matters.

"I have never thought of you like this, my senior."

Li Yuan hastily denied it, with a look of panic on his face.
