Lord of Bones

Chapter 653 Deciding to Take a Risk
"What are your plans next?" Xue Yunsu did not continue to ask. He hesitated for a moment and then asked.

Li Yuan replied solemnly: “Everyone says that the lightning blade in my hand is called the Lightning Yin Thunder Blade.

“Then I will naturally go to the Xuanyin Thunder Region to find out what’s going on.

"I wonder if you have a detailed map of the Xuanyin Thunder Region?"

Xue Yunsu smiled slightly and twisted her wrist slightly, and a crystal clear jade slip appeared in her hand.

With a slight wave of her jade hand, the jade slip flew towards Li Yuan like a meteor.

Li Yuan raised his hand and steadily took the jade slip into his hand, carefully injecting a trace of soul power into it.

Suddenly, a grand map unfolded in his mind, so detailed that it seemed as if the entire Wen River Basin was in full view.

"This... this is actually a complete map of the Wen River Basin!" Li Yuan withdrew his soul power, an expression of surprise that was difficult to conceal on his face.

He looked up at Xue Yunsu and said excitedly: "Such a precious thing, junior..."

Xue Yunsu waved his hand and said calmly: "It's just a map."

"A map..." Li Yuan murmured in a low voice, but his heart was extremely shocked. He looked at Xue Yunsu with respect in his eyes.

"Hehe." Xue Yunsu chuckled and continued, "The Wen River Basin is only a small part of this continent.

“You may not know that this continent is much more vast than you think.

“When you are able to walk out of the Wen River Basin one day, you will truly feel the vastness of this continent.”

Li Yuan was startled, as if being pulled by an invisible force, and his thoughts drifted far away.

He imagined the unknown continent and was filled with curiosity.

"Senior, have you ever been to places outside the Wen River Basin?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask.

Xue Yunsu shook his head and sighed, “I only heard about it from the seniors of the sect.

“We are just the tip of the iceberg of this continent, less than one hundredth.

“No one knows exactly how big this continent is.”

"Less than one hundred and one..." Li Yuan repeated in a low voice.

According to what Li Yuan had known before, the Wen River Basin was a hundred times larger than the Qinggu Continent.

He already felt that this place was extremely vast.

However, when I learned that the vast area was only a corner of the continent, the shock in my heart was like being hit by huge waves, and I couldn't calm down for a long time.

Li Yuan suddenly thought of a possibility and looked up at Xue Yunsu with curiosity in his eyes: "Could it be that the ancestor of Yin Lei Palace, Emperor Yin Lei, is not a Yuanzhe from the Wen River Basin, but from other places on the continent?"

Xue Yunsu nodded slightly, a trace of reminiscence flashed in his eyes: "Emperor Yin Lei is indeed not a Yuanzhe from the Wenhe River Basin.

“As for his origins, it is so long ago that it is impossible to verify them.

"But according to some ancient texts, he came from far away overseas."

"Overseas?" Li Yuanyi was startled.

Xue Yunsu continued, “There are many legends about Emperor Yin Lei.

“But what is most well known is how he rose to prominence in the Wen River Basin.

“When he first appeared here, he was already a strong man in the half-step life spirit realm.

“In order to break through to the Life Spirit Realm, I ventured into the Xuanyin Thunder Realm alone.

“At that time, everyone thought that he would surely perish in the endless sea of ​​thunder.

“More than a thousand years later, the name of Yin Lei Palace suddenly rose, shocking the entire Wen River Basin.

“Everyone realized that he had taken that step and reached the Life Spirit Realm.”

Li Yuan listened to Xue Yunsu's story with admiration in his heart.

He imagined how the ancient strong man struggled to survive in the endless thunder, and finally broke through himself and reached the realm of life spirit.

Xue Yunsu continued to narrate: "The reason why Yin Lei Palace can stand firm in the Wen River Basin and become the overlord is because of the power of Yin Lei Emperor.

“The heritage and treasures left by Yin Lei Palace have allowed Yin Lei Palace to be passed down to this day.

"Since you have a treasure like the Lightning Yin Lei Blade, it would be a pity if you don't go to the Yin Lei Palace in the Xuan Yin Lei Territory."

Li Yuan said gratefully: "Thank you for your guidance and map.

"After I come out of the Xuanyin Thunder Region, I will definitely go to the Blood Demon Lake to pay a visit to you, Senior."

"Okay, I'll remember that." Xue Yunsu nodded, "You can absorb the thunder that contains the power of heavenly tribulation, which is indeed a great advantage in the Xuanyin Thunder Region.

"Compared to other Yuan people, the danger you face when entering is much smaller."

"Haha." Li Yuan smiled slightly, "Since the period of weakening thunder in the Xuanyin Thunder Region, which occurs every two hundred years, is about to come, it seems that I have to leave as soon as possible and collect some information about the place in advance.

"Senior, will you go there too?"

Xue Yunsu shook his head lightly, with a trace of helplessness on his face: "Although I am not a coward, the Xuanyin Thunder Region is full of dangers. If I really fall into it, the Blood Evil Lake may not be able to bear it.

“My cultivation has recovered to the Huawen realm, and the Purple Spring Pond is no longer of any use to me.

"I plan to return to the sect to practice in seclusion and restore my cultivation to its peak as soon as possible."

After hearing this, Li Yuan felt relieved and continued to ask: "So, Senior...

"Whenever the Xuanyin Thunder Region is in a weak period, a Huawen Realm expert like you, as the foundation of a faction, usually won't go there, right?"

With Li Yuan's current cultivation and strength, below the strong ones in the Huawen realm, few Yuanists can pose a real threat to him, unless they are those terrifying beings who are at the peak of the half-step Huawen realm and have earth bones in their bodies.

These top powerhouses are all geniuses.

The path of cultivation is long and arduous. Most people practice in seclusion, looking for an opportunity to trigger a heavenly tribulation so that they can advance their cultivation to the next level and enter the Huawen realm.

However, the period of weakened thunder in the Xuanyin Thunder Domain that occurs every two hundred years is a rare opportunity.

It is hard to say whether those old guys in the Huawen realm will go there.

Xue Yunsu frowned slightly: "As to whether the Huawen Realm experts will go to the Xuanyin Thunder Region, I cannot give a definite answer.

“The special environment of the Xuanyin Thunder Region gave birth to many natural treasures.

“Especially those rare materials that can increase the success rate of refining spiritual treasures.

“For any Yuan who pursues perfection, this is an irresistible temptation.

"If there is a chance to obtain such materials, even some old guys would probably be tempted."

"It seems that this trip is not that simple." Li Yuan sighed lightly.

Just as he was lost in thought, several sounds of breaking through the air suddenly came from the center of Zi Ling Valley.

Immediately afterwards, several long purple rainbows streaked across the sky and landed near Ziquan Pond.

After the light faded, the figures of several elders of the Tan family, including Tan Qiuyun, were revealed.

They stood with their hands clasped respectfully, their faces filled with joy.

"Congratulations to Elder Yunsu for recovering his cultivation to the Huawen realm!"

Tan Qiuyun took a few steps forward and bowed, full of respect and joy.

Xue Yunsu nodded slightly, with a hint of satisfaction on his face: "I was able to return to the Huawen realm thanks to this divine pond of your Tan family.

“Don’t worry, I will never break my promise.

"When I return to Blood Demon Lake, I will accept Wen Shu as my personal disciple."

Upon hearing this, Tan Qiuyun bowed again and said gratefully: "Thank you, Ancestor Yunsu!" At this moment, her gaze inadvertently fell on Li Yuan, and there was a look of surprise in her eyes.

She hesitated for a moment and asked, "Little friend Li Yuan, why are you here?"

“To be honest with you, Patriarch Tan, the real purpose of my coming to the Longshan Tan Clan this time is for Ziquan Pond.

"I hope to use its magical effect to help my friend recover his cultivation."

Li Yuan spoke frankly without hiding anything.

The old woman standing next to Tan Qiuyun had a glimmer of memory in her eyes, and she said slowly: "I remember that someone fought with Wen Shu at the Tan's Inn in Shangzhou. That person was you, right?"

Li Yuan nodded without hesitation and said, "The Second Elder has a keen eye, and he is just the right person for me."

He sighed softly and continued, "It is really difficult to see the noble Purple Spring Pond, so I have no choice but to resort to this last resort."

After hearing this, Tan Qiuyun's eyes flashed with realization, and she chuckled, "Good boy, it turns out you had planned this all along."

Li Yuan scratched his head awkwardly and said with a smile: "This junior is also helpless.

"But I have successfully completed Patriarch Tan's request."

Tan Biqing interrupted and said, "Even so, we have not agreed to let you use Ziquantan."

Li Yuan shook his head and retorted with a smile: "Second Elder, this is wrong."

He pointed to the Purple Spring Pond in front of him and said, "You might as well take a closer look at the current Purple Spring Pond."

Upon hearing this, Tan Qiuyun and others immediately turned their eyes over.

I saw the water in the Ziquan Pond emitting a faint light, as if countless tiny purple stars were twinkling in it.

Waves of rich energy rose from the pool and filled the valley.

"This...how could this happen?" Tan Qiuyun and others widened their eyes in surprise, unable to hide the surprise on their faces.

They obviously didn't expect that Ziquantan would undergo such a huge change.

Li Yuan faced Tan Qiuyun's question calmly and replied calmly: "I did use the energy of Ziquan Pond, but I also successfully solved the problem of the spring at the bottom of the pond being difficult to recover.

“The energy concentration of the Purple Spring Pond today is several times higher than before.

“This is undoubtedly a huge benefit for the Tan family.”

"Was it really Young Master Li Yuan who solved the problem of Ziquan Pond?" Tan Qiuyun turned to Xue Yunsu with some disbelief, as if seeking a positive answer.

Xue Yunsu nodded slightly. She had personally experienced the changes in Ziquantan.

Although it is not certain whether it is directly related to the thunder absorbed by Li Yuan, Ziquantan is indeed developing in a good direction.

"Does the Tan family think that we can deceive you with our status?"

At this time, Teng Qing, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke. His voice was cold and majestic, and the aura of a powerful person in the Huawen realm was released without reservation.

Under this pressure, the Tan family members felt as if they were being crushed by an invisible mountain. They could hardly breathe and were filled with horror.

The Tan family members trembled and were terrified as they managed to squeeze out a voice: "The younger generation dare not."

Teng Qing snorted coldly, then restrained his breath.

The mountain-like pressure disappeared in an instant, as if it had never appeared.

After a while, Tan Qiuyun calmed down the chaotic aura in her body caused by the pressure.

She took a deep breath, bowed slightly to Li Yuan and the others, and respectfully invited them, "Please move to the Tan family. Let us be the hospitality of the host and entertain you well..."

Xue Yunsu waved his hand and said, "I will not stay any longer and must hurry back to the sect.

"In order to recover my skills over the years, there are too many things that need to be dealt with."

She turned her gaze to Tan Wenshu who was standing beside her, and her tone softened a bit: "Wenshu, are you going back to the clan with me, or are you going to stay in the clan for a while longer?"

Tan Wenshu and Tan Qiuyun looked at each other and understood each other.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Being accepted as a disciple by a sect patriarch means endless glory and opportunities for her.

"The junior will follow the ancestor back to the sect." Tan Wenshu responded immediately.

A relieved smile also appeared on Tan Qiuyun's face.

It is a big event for the whole family that his daughter can become the direct disciple of the ancestor of Xuesha Lake.

Naturally, she didn't want her daughter to have any changes in this matter.

"Okay." Xue Yunsu nodded with satisfaction, "Go and call a few brothers and sisters, and set off back to the sect immediately."

Tan Wenshu bowed respectfully, then moved, flew into the air, turned into a long purple rainbow, and quickly left Ziquantan.

She was filled with excitement and anticipation.

This departure will be an important turning point in her life.

"Now that the matter here is settled, it's time for us to leave." Li Yuan said lightly, turning his gaze to Teng Qing beside him.

Teng Qing has recovered to the Huawen realm, so naturally he will not continue to stay in the Longshan Tan family.

Just as they were about to leave, Tan Qiuyun suddenly stepped forward and said anxiously, "Little friend Li Yuan, you can't leave for the time being."

Hearing this, Li Yuan frowned slightly, turned around, and looked directly at Tan Qiuyun: "Master Tan, is there anything else you need to discuss with me about Ziquan Pond?"

Tan Qiuyun quickly waved her hands and explained, “My friend, you misunderstood.

"The heads of Longyang Li and Jingshui Ruan are visiting our house right now and would like to meet you, young friend."

"Why are they here?" Li Yuan asked with some surprise.

Tan Qiuyun smiled and explained, “I have told you before that if I want to support the Longyang Li family, I will naturally fulfill my promise.

“Patriarch Li came here this time to discuss the future cooperation between our two families.

"I heard that you are training in Ziling Valley, and Patriarch Li even specifically suggested that you return to Longyang Li Clan after you come out."

"Okay, let's go and meet him." Li Yuan did not object.

I had promised Li Yuanlong before that I would hand over the young master's jade ring to the Longyang Li family. Now that I have this opportunity, I naturally cannot miss it.

His original plan was to go to Longyang Li's family and hand over the jade ring to Longyang Li's family before going to Xuanyin Thunder Domain.

Now it seems that it would save him the trouble of making the trip in person.

When Tan Qiuyun saw Li Yuan agreed, a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

.........

The Tan family mansion in Longshan.

Li Yuan and his group walked along the winding corridor.

The bluestone roads on both sides have been polished by time to be as smooth as jade.

After passing through the last corridor, they arrived at the main hall of the mansion.

The main hall was brightly lit.

The table is already filled with various delicacies, the aroma is overflowing, making people salivate.

The two heads of the Longyang Li family and the Jingshui Ruan family had already taken their seats.

Surrounding them were the family elites, chatting and laughing.
