Zhutian: Invincible from the Martial Spirit

Chapter 113 The Corpse of the Venerable

Gu Yi and his companions walked out of Duanren City, but did not return to Xueyue Kingdom.

Instead, he crossed the Broken Blade World, which was full of broken blades and spear tips, and headed towards the Kingdom of Moyue.

Moyue Kingdom, a country with a vast territory like Xueyue Kingdom.

However, the difference is that in Moyue, the royal family is the most respected and unifies the country, holding most of the cultivation resources in their hands.

Therefore, there are no sects in the Kingdom of Moyue, only some martial arts families and martial arts academies.

The latter is still directly controlled by the royal family, and the former is also subject to the royal family.

All geniuses in the Kingdom of Moyue will join the Martial Arts Academy for training and fall into the hands of the Moyue royal family.

This is also the reason why the comprehensive national strength of Moyue Kingdom exceeds that of Xueyue Kingdom.

However, in terms of Tianwu realm masters, Moyue Kingdom and Xueyue Kingdom are similar, with only one or two Tianwu realm masters.

Therefore, the Kingdom of Moyue has never been able to annex the Kingdom of Xueyue, and the two countries can only wage war over Duanren Tianya.

The reason why the Xueyue Kingdom wanted to establish the Xueyue Holy Academy was actually to emulate the practices of the Moyue Kingdom's royal family.

In this way, the strength of each major sect will be gradually weakened until it is destroyed, thus truly unifying the Snow Moon Kingdom.

——Martial arts are respected on the Jiuxiao Continent, and major sects are like princes, ruling over a certain area with a high degree of autonomy.

For example, taxes collected from cities within the sect’s territory are paid to the sect.

So after seeing the death of many Xuanwu Realm powerhouses from Haoyue Sect and Bingxue Villa and the great decline in the strength of the sect.

King Xueyue immediately sent troops to destroy the two major sects and brought the territories they previously ruled under his direct jurisdiction.

The charge was naturally what Duan Tianlang had said in the Yunhai Sect in the past, that he disobeyed the king's orders.

……

After Gu Yi and his companions entered the Kingdom of Moyue and roughly identified the location, they headed straight for the Zijin Mountains in the north of the Kingdom of Moyue.

There is no war between the Moyue Kingdom and the Xueyue Kingdom at present, so the border guards on both sides are not strict.

Of course, even if the war was intense and there were spies all over the border, it would be easy for Gu Yi to rush through with his strength.

Gu Yi's target for this trip to Moyue Kingdom was a martial arts family force called Zifu in the Zijin Mountains.

Zifu is one of the largest family forces in the northern part of Moyue Kingdom and is very famous in the area thousands of miles around.

This family has existed for thousands of years, even longer than the history of the Kingdom of Moyue.

It’s a pity that Zifu gradually declined and became weak. In order to survive, it had no choice but to submit to the royal family of Moyue Kingdom.

But even if it has declined, there are still strong people in the Xuanwu realm in Zifu.

The Xuanwu Realm experts are all powerful figures in the imperial cities of the Moyue and Xueyue countries. If they are placed in this remote place, they will naturally dominate the area.

In the war between Moyue and Xueyue in the north in recent years, Zifu can be said to have made a great contribution.

It is unknown how many soldiers and civilians of Xueyue Kingdom died at the hands of Zifu’s army, and the two sides have accumulated deep resentment.

The Zijin Mountains where the Zifu is located are thousands of miles away from Duanren City. Gu Yi and his companions rode on red-blood horses for two days and finally arrived at the Zijin Mountains.

Liu Fei, dressed in red and looking heroic, looked at the towering mountains ahead and asked Gu Yi:

"Xiao Yi, is this the site of the Venerable's remains you mentioned?"

Gu Yi nodded: "Yes, it is in the Purple Palace Forbidden Land on the Purple Gold Mountain Range. This relic of the Venerable has existed for countless years. Now the power in the relic can only be passed on for the last time."

The Venerable mentioned by Gu Yi and the others refers to a strong man in the Venerable Martial Realm, who is extremely powerful. Burning mountains and boiling seas, destroying cities and exterminating countries are just a piece of cake for such an existence.

In the Snow Region where the Xueyue Kingdom and the Moyue Kingdom are located, there are not many people even in the Heavenly Martial Realm, let alone the high and mighty Venerables.

The Zunwu Realm is just a legend in the Xueyue Kingdom.

It was hard for Liu Fei to imagine that in the purple mansion of this strongest man who was only in the Xuanwu realm, there were actually relics left behind by a deceased venerable.

And according to Gu Yi, this venerable is not an ordinary venerable. He has extraordinary means and is best at soul power.

It is estimated that his strength during his lifetime reached above the seventh level of the Honored Martial Realm, and he could be called a Honored Lord.

The inheritance left by such an existence would definitely be able to cultivate a strong man in the Tianwu realm.

But the result is that Zifu only has one Xuanwu Realm Level 1.

"Zunwu Realm..." Xiao Wu's eyes lit up: "This is more powerful than the gods in Douluo World."

After the battle with Yunhai Sect, Xiao Wu has realized that the Xuanwu Realm powerhouses of Jiuxiao Continent are much more powerful than the Titled Douluo of Douluo World.

The first and second levels of Xuanwu Realm are more powerful than the "Beast God", the leader of the ferocious beasts in the core area of ​​Douluo Continent.

Rumor has it that the Beast God has already reached the level of a demigod, and is only one level away from becoming a true god.

From this we can see that the gods in the Douluo World are at the high level of the Xuanwu Realm or the Tianwu Realm.

The Zunwu Realm is one level higher than the Tianwu Realm, and is definitely not comparable to the gods in Douluo Continent.

"Let's go to Zijin Mountain." Gu Yi's eyes flashed, and he rode up the mountain path. Gu Qingcheng, Liu Fei and other girls followed him and headed towards the gate of Zifu Mountain.

After running through the mountains for nearly an hour, Gu Yi and his companions finally arrived at Zifu.

"Who is coming?" At the gate of Zifu Mountain, more than ten guards at the ninth and eighth levels of Qiwu Realm stood out and held weapons in hand to stop Gu Yi and his companions.

Gu Yi released a little breath, and the piercing murderous aura made the Zifu guards turn pale in an instant, and they retreated again and again.

"Gu Yi from the Snow Moon Country and Broken Blade City has come to visit the Purple Mansion."

The guard's face changed and he looked nervous.

From Xueyue Country? Or from Broken Blade City?
The Moyue Kingdom and the Xueyue Kingdom are hostile to each other. Anyone who dares to enter the Moyue Kingdom alone and even introduce himself must be very powerful and not someone that these small minions can deal with.

The guard quickly took out a flare and sounded it to notify the people in the Purple Mansion.

Gu Yi's face was calm. He did not stop the guards' actions. He rode the red-blood horse slowly through the Zifu Mountain Gate and stepped into the inner area of ​​Zifu.

The Zifu clan has been passed down for thousands of years, with countless clan members and many branches. Therefore, their clan territory covers a very large area, with palaces standing in all directions.

Gu Yi and his companions had not walked far in the palace when figures surrounded them from all directions.

The leader was an old man with purple hair and a solemn and dignified expression.

He is the current head of Zi Mansion, Ziying.

Next to Ziying, there were two boys and girls about seventeen or eighteen years old. They were Ziying’s two children, Ziqiong and Zixia.

Ziying narrowed his eyes and looked at Gu Yi, who was riding a red-blood horse and carrying a blood-red spear on his back.

"Are you the Red Blood Prince of the Snow Moon Country?"

The northern land where Zifu is located is close to the Snow Moon Kingdom, and has been at war with Duanren City for many years. Naturally, they have always been concerned about the intelligence of Duanren City and the Snow Moon Kingdom.

Gu Yi rose to prominence a few months ago and became one of the nine great princes of the Snow Moon Kingdom. He is also a general of Broken Blade City and a disciple of the divine arrow master Liu Canglan.

Zifu naturally also collected information about Gu Yi and knew Gu Yi's appearance characteristics.

Combined with the report from the mountain gate guards, these people came from Duanren City in Xueyue Kingdom.

So Ziying recognized Gu Yi's identity the first time she saw him.

"Not bad." Gu Yi nodded slightly.

Ziying's heart trembled, and he quickly used a secret method to inform his great-uncle, who was also the only ancestor in the Xuanwu realm in Zifu.

This Young Master Chixue is able to fight against Young Master Dapeng of the Xueyue Kingdom. He is definitely at the Xuanwu realm and is not someone that he, who is at the ninth level of the Lingwu realm, can deal with.

——Zifu has not yet collected the news about the battle between Yunhai Sect and the Yunhai Sect not long ago.

After doing all this, Ziying felt relieved and stared at Gu Yi: "I wonder why you came to my Zifu?"

Gu Yi chuckled and said, "I heard that there is a forbidden area in Zifu, which has been passed down for thousands of years. It is full of mysteries. I am yearning for it and want to enter it to see it."

Ziying's face suddenly turned cold when he heard this.

The forbidden area is the foundation of their Purple Mansion and is related to their martial spirits, so its importance is self-evident.

For thousands of years, only male descendants were allowed to enter the forbidden area of ​​Zifu with their wives.

Even women from the direct lineage and members of branch clans are not allowed to set foot there.

The most important thing is that there is only one chance to open this forbidden area, and Ziying wants to leave it to his children.

How can we allow outsiders to enter?
Ziying's eyes were cold, "Young Master Chixue, you are joking. The forbidden area is the secret realm of my Zifu. Only the direct descendants of Zifu can enter."

Gu Yi was not surprised by Ziying's rejection. He flipped his right hand and a green pill appeared in his palm, emitting a faint fragrance.

"This is the Xuanji Pill. Gu uses it as a condition for entering the Purple Mansion Forbidden Land. How do you think?"

"Xuan Ji Dan?" Ziying's eyes narrowed, and Ziqiong and Zixia beside him exclaimed, their eyes full of excitement and desire.

The fragrance and appearance of this pill are indeed like the Xuan Ji Pill recorded in the book... Ziying shouted in his heart.

Xuan Ji Dan, a low-grade Xuan Dan, can help warriors at the ninth level of the Lingwu realm to transform the true qi in the body into true essence, achieve the unity of essence, energy and spirit, and thus break through to the Xuanwu realm.

Its effect is equivalent to the "Po Wang Dan" in the Dou Qi Continent, which increases the chance of reaching the peak of Dou Ling and advancing to Dou Wang.

This is the elixir that many warriors who are stuck at the peak of the Spiritual Martial Realm dream of. In the eyes of these people, the value of the Xuanji Pill exceeds that of other elixirs of a higher level.

The lower-grade Xuandan, when placed in the Douqi Continent, is almost at the level of the fifth-grade primary and intermediate elixirs.

Gu Yi's normal level of alchemy is at the intermediate fourth grade.

After using [Enlightenment], one can greatly improve and thus refine the Xuan Ji Dan.

The reason why Gu Yi refined the Xuan Ji Dan was to increase the number of Xuan Wu Realm powerhouses in the Yun Hai Sect.

After the battle with Yunhai Sect, Gu Yi saw the shortcomings of Yunhai Sect in its top combat power.

Among the inner sect elders of the Yunhai Sect, several are at the ninth level of the Lingwu Realm, which is only one step away from the Xuanwu Realm.

With the Xuan Ji Dan, they can break through to the Xuan Wu realm.

As a thousand-year-old sect, the Yunhai Sect still has the recipe for the Xuan Ji Dan, which can be regarded as one of the most widely circulated recipes.

Gu Yi consumed a lot of Yunhai Sect's medicinal materials, refined five furnaces of pills, and obtained eleven Xuan Ji Pills.

Seven of them were left in Yunhai Sect, and Nangong Ling and Bei Lao were allowed to choose who would take them.

Gu Yi kept four for himself.

Now he took out one to trade with Zifu.

Ziying's heart was pounding and his eyes were full of desire and greed.

Ziying has been stuck in the ninth level of the Spiritual Martial Realm for decades and has not been able to break through.

If he had the Xuan Ji Dan, he would have a 90% chance of breaking through to the Xuan Wu realm.

By then, they will have two Xuanwu Realm powerhouses in their Zifu, and their strength will be greatly increased.

Do you want to exchange the opportunity to enter the forbidden area for the Xuanji Pill...

Ziying was struggling in his heart, he was very clear about the talents of his two children.

Even if they enter the forbidden area, accept the baptism of inheritance, and make their martial spirits more compatible with themselves, it will not be easy for them to break through to the Xuanwu realm.

After all, the last person to enter the forbidden area was Ziying himself.

He has been trapped in the ninth level of the Spiritual Martial Realm for many years.

Rather than fighting for an uncertain future, it is better to take advantage of the present benefits.

However, it is not his turn to decide the qualification to enter the forbidden area.

"I didn't expect that my friend actually had this kind of elixir."

A rumbling sound like thunder rang out around, and a figure came quickly from the palace. He was the first-level Xuanwu realm ancestor of Zifu.

The Purple Mansion Patriarch had a solemn expression on his face, his eyes fixed on Gu Yi.

The Purple Mansion Patriarch had a sharp eye and could tell at a glance that Gu Yi was far more than what Ziying had secretly said.

Gu Yi sat on the red-blood horse, but his whole body seemed to have merged into the world, and his aura was vague.

His realm has obviously reached the unity of man and nature.

In addition, he felt a strong sense of crisis from Gu Yi, and there was a constant tingling sensation between his eyebrows, as if he would be shot to death by Gu Yi as soon as he made a move.

The martial soul of the Zifu people is called "Purple Soul", which is a bloodline martial soul inherited from the Venerable and involves the soul.

Therefore, the Zifu Patriarch believed in his sixth sense very much.

Gu Yi’s strength might be even more terrifying than what Ziying said, and it’s far more than just the first level of Xuanwu realm.

He should not be a match for Gu Yi.

Gu Yi’s purpose of this trip was very clear, which was to head to the forbidden area of ​​their Zifu.

If you don't agree to Gu Yi's deal, I'm afraid he will break into the forbidden area by force.

By then, their Zifu might be destroyed...

Instead of doing this, it would be better to agree to Gu Yi, exchange the Xuan Ji Dan for Zi Fu, and cultivate a new Xuanwu realm powerhouse.

Naturally, the ancestor of Zifu had also thought of what Ziying could think of.

After pondering for a moment, he had made up his mind: "Friend Gu, the forbidden land is the greatest opportunity for my Purple Mansion. It contains great fortune and the inheritance of ancient strongmen. One Xuanji Pill is not enough..."

Gu Yi understood.

The implication of Zifu Patriarch's words is very clear, this requires extra money.

Compared with the inheritance of the venerable in the Purple Mansion Forbidden Land, Gu Yi was too lazy to bargain with the Purple Mansion ancestor for just one or two Xuan Ji Pills.

The ring shone with light, and another green pill appeared in Gu Yi's hand. "How about two Xuanji Pills?"

"Enough, enough." The Purple Mansion Patriarch smiled.

Two Xuan Ji Dan can make it possible for two generations of Zifu to have strong Xuanwu realm masters, and make Zifu prosperous for hundreds of years.

This is better than the forbidden area where there is only one last chance for baptism.

"My friend, please follow me." Under Ziying's scorching gaze, the Zifu Patriarch put away the Xuan Ji Dan, and then he took Gu Yi and his party to the palace on the top of Zifu Mountain.

It is a forbidden area and also the place where Zifu performs ancestor worship ceremonies.

The Purple Mansion Patriarch explained to Gu Yi: "My dear friend Gu, this is the entrance to the forbidden area. If you want to open the forbidden area, I, the direct descendant of the Purple Mansion, need to sacrifice the blood of my ancestors."

Gu Yi nodded slightly, understanding this clearly.

The Zifu Patriarch signaled to Ziqiong and Zixia, and the two immediately stepped forward to the statue, cut their fingers and dripped blood into the two small holes on the statue's chest.

Rumble!
A trembling sound was heard, and the chest of the tall statue slowly opened, turning into a door leading to the depths of the palace.

The Purple Mansion Patriarch said, "By the way, my friend, if you want to enter the forbidden area, you must be in love with each other, otherwise you will not be baptized by the power of the forbidden area. I wonder who you want to enter with?"

Gu Yi, who was familiar with the plot, naturally knew this restriction. This was a condition set by the remnant soul of the Venerable in the forbidden area.

Long before coming to Zifu, Gu Yi had already selected the people who would go in with him.

"Qinglin, come in with me."

"Okay, Young Master Yi." Qing Lin nodded and stepped into the stone gate with Gu Yi.

In the back, Liu Fei and Xiao Wu looked a little depressed, but didn't say much.

On the way here, Gu Yi told them some things about the Venerable's ruins, and Qinglin was indeed more suitable to enter than them.

Gu Qingcheng beside them still had a cold expression on her face, without much change.

When she heard that only 'lovers' could enter the forbidden area, her eyes showed some fluctuations.

……

In the forbidden area, there was silence and a faint purple light illuminated the space.

Gu Yi grabbed Qing Lin's hand and walked towards the direction where the purple light came from.

Soon, the purple light became brighter and brighter, illuminating the surroundings with incredible clarity. A purple lake appeared in front of the two of them.

The liquid in this lake surged and churned like a roaring python, never stopping.

On the other side of the lake is a palace with carved railings and jade walls and bright lights.

One could vaguely see two corpses, one large and one small, in the palace.

Gu Yi stared at the purple lake in front of him, summoning his blood martial spirit, and blood surged around his body.

Apart from the different color, his blood martial soul was almost the same as the purple lake.

This purple lake is actually a blood lake!
Gu Yi's eyes were solemn. This was a lake formed by the blood of a snake demon. It was extremely powerful and contained violent blood power.

If you get close to it, it will directly corrode your body and merge into your blood.

The 'Purple Soul' martial soul of the Zifu people is obtained because their ancestors were eroded by the power of blood, which can also be regarded as a blood martial soul.

It's just that this kind of bloodline martial soul is very weak, far inferior to those who directly inherit the bloodline martial soul.

This is also the reason why Gu Yi chose Qinglin to come in.

If Xiao Wu and Liu Fei entered, their rabbit martial spirits and arrow martial spirits would probably be replaced by the blood power of the snake demon and turned into "purple soul" martial spirits like the people in the Purple Mansion.

But Qinglin is different. Her Green Snake Three-Flower Pupils are naturally resistant to snake life, and her martial soul is originally a snake martial soul.

According to Gu Yi's speculation, there is a 60 to 70 percent chance that the blood power of this Snake Demon Venerable will not replace her snake martial soul, and may even enhance the origin of her martial soul.

What's more, even if Qinglin's martial soul was replaced, it wouldn't matter.

After all, her real foundation of cultivation is the Green Snake Three-Flower Pupil, and the martial soul is not very important to her.

Unlike Xiao Wu and Liu Fei, one is the incarnation of a soul beast, and her martial soul is her own; the other has been practicing archery since childhood, and her entire cultivation is based on her arrow martial soul.

Once they are replaced, it would be a huge loss, and the new martial spirits may not necessarily suit them.
