Chapter 370 Fifth-Order Spiritual Object, Yin Yang Mystic Ginseng
Chen Yi had his own plans.
He owed Silverhorn a favor and received benefits from him; this karmic debt will have to be settled sooner or later.
However, the initiative regarding "when to end" and "how to end" must be in one's own hands.
Taking action now would be extremely risky.
The best course of action would be to wait until the old man Silver Flame has tested the waters and gathered more information before taking further action.
Pulling his thoughts back, Chen Yi's gaze returned to Ning Bu'er, temporarily suppressing the troubles of the Silver Sky Hammer in his heart.
Right now, improving Ning Bu'er's strength is the most urgent task.
After discussing with Ning Bu'er for a while, the two reached a consensus to first refine the Thunder Crystal Fruit and then plot against the source of the Nine Yin Demon Flame.
"Do you have a way to refine this fifth-tier origin?"
Chen Yi confirmed it again.
Ning Bu'er shifted his gaze from the deep purple flame heart, his lips moving as if there was something he couldn't say.
Her gaze fell upon the scorched earth of the battlefield, eroded by time into a grayish-black color, and her slender fingers unconsciously twisted the hem of her clothes.
The surroundings were deathly silent, with only the occasional howling of the cold wind.
A subtle, almost imperceptible awkwardness hung in the air.
She finally raised her head, and an uncontrollable blush appeared on her beautiful cheeks, like the sunset dyeing the snow-capped mountains.
"Normally, it's impossible. But—here, there might be an opportunity."
Her voice was so soft it was almost carried away by the wind.
Chen Yi's eyes narrowed.
"What opportunity?"
"If we could find—find something similar to the Bodhi fruit from the Wutong Tree of Enlightenment last time, a fifth-tier spiritual object that can temporarily enhance one's comprehension and allow one to touch the origin of the Dao—"
She lowered her voice as she spoke, paused, and then added.
"Or, it could be a dual cultivation treasure similar to the Black and White Dual Cultivation Saintess Ginseng—with you—with your assistance, I might have a chance."
The last few words were as thin as mosquito gnats.
After Ning Bu'er finished speaking, she lowered her head even further, her ears turning a translucent red. She dared not look into Chen Yi's eyes.
She knew very well that relying solely on her own cultivation level to cross this insurmountable barrier was nothing short of a pipe dream.
However, if Chen Yi were to assist in practicing dual cultivation, the outcome would be entirely different.
She could imagine what it would be like when the domineering and unparalleled Thunder Essence Liquid in Chen Yi's body was transferred into her body through the circulation of her cultivation technique.
That power, extremely yang and strong, was the nemesis of her yin and cold demonic flames, and also the best weapon to tame that fifth-order origin.
With the power of thunder, it forcefully suppressed, sorted out, and refined.
This was the only way she could think of to break the deadlock.
Chen Yi's mind raced, and he instantly understood her meaning.
His face showed no sign of anything amiss; he simply calmly considered the feasibility of the idea.
A moment later, a glint flashed in his eyes, and a better solution came to mind.
"You mean, you want to use my Thunder Essence Liquid to help you suppress and refine it?"
"Um."
Ning Bu'er responded softly, her voice trembling slightly.
"I have an idea."
Chen Yi's voice was steady and powerful, dispelling the ambiguity in the air.
"If I refine that Thunder Crystal Fruit first, raising the quality of my Thunder Essence Liquid to another level, then I can use the dual cultivation method to transfer it into your body. Wouldn't that be even more beneficial to you?"
Ning Bu'er suddenly looked up, her eyes gleaming with surprise.
"Of course!"
Her voice rose several decibels. A higher-level Thunder Essence Liquid meant stronger suppression and purer energy, which would undoubtedly greatly increase the success rate of refining.
"I see."
Chen Yi nodded; the plan was now clear.
He raised his left hand, his gaze falling on the magic box on his wrist, which was entirely black and engraved with intricate magical patterns.
"Ninth Princess, it's your turn to lend a hand."
He said softly.
"Sense this ancient battlefield. Where can I find fifth-tier origin items that can aid in enlightenment, or rare and precious materials that can advance the level of dual cultivation?"
When entering the ancient battlefield this time, Chen Yi specially brought the Ninth Princess with him. Her special perception ability is the most useful compass in this land where opportunities and dangers coexist.
As soon as he finished speaking, the demonic patterns on the surface of the black spirit box on Chen Yi's wrist seemed to come alive, emitting a faint glow.
An invisible ripple of soul power suddenly swept outwards from the spirit box, instantly traversing hundreds of miles and reaching even more distant unknown lands.
Six months ago at Yinlei Peak, Chen Yi poured a massive amount of Soul Thunder Essence into the Ninth Princess, whose soul was greatly nourished and restored.
At this moment, she is exerting all her strength, and the range and accuracy of her perception are no longer what they used to be.
"Huh?"
A thought, tinged with a mixture of languor and surprise, resonated directly in Chen Yi's mind.
"Young Chen, you're not unlucky. You actually found a pair of yin and yang embracing each other."
The years are unique, all born in accordance with the principles of Yin and Yang.
If the two are combined, the resulting Yin-Yang harmony will have already reached the threshold of the fifth level.
If this item is used to aid in dual cultivation, your plan with Fairy Ning will likely have a 70-80% success rate.
The Ninth Princess's tone carried a hint of amusement.
"However, besides promoting dual cultivation, the Yin-Yang Black and White Mystic Ginseng should also have the ability to enhance the essential level of the soul."
Several groups of people are already keeping an eye on it. It's about a hundred miles away in the direction of the island.
Chen Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately pressed for more information.
"Who's watching?"
"Hmm—let me see," the Ninth Princess paused for a moment, seemingly trying to discern the auras. "One group has a very familiar aura; they should be cultivators from your Great Azure Realm. The leader is a monk, quite handsome, but beneath the Buddhist light, there's a hidden sharpness; he's not someone to be trifled with."
A monk from the Great Green Realm?
A figure flashed through Chen Yi's mind in an instant.
"What a coincidence?"
He muttered to himself, and Chen Yi's eyes flashed coldly, a murderous intent disappearing in an instant.
He glanced at Ning Bu'er beside him, whose face was full of expectation, and had already made up his mind.
Let's go take a look and see.
That monk doesn't seem like a good person. He probably came in this time with the intention of targeting me, Xuan Yin, and the master and disciple Bu Er. It would be best if we could prevent his clone from going back.
Otherwise, once his main body and his clone reunite and learn the details of the situation, the troubles will only become more severe.
On the ground, two streaks of light from body cultivators flashed by rapidly.
Chen Yi and Ning Bu'er were hurrying towards their predetermined destination.
Half an hour later, dozens of miles away, suddenly!
An invisible distortion suddenly spread from several miles away. It was not a sound, but it was more powerful than thunder, and it exploded directly at the level of the soul.
This force instantly swept across every inch of space within a ten-mile radius.
A sharp, piercing pain pierced my mind, and a monstrous wave surged through my soul.
Chen Yi groaned, his face turning deathly pale instantly.
Deep within the sea of consciousness, the Yin-Yang Divine Soul, with its black and white energies circulating freely, autonomously rotated, and streaks of purple lightning intertwined to form a net, which was none other than the Purple Lightning Soul Whip.
The lightning net descended, precisely crushing and extinguishing the invading, invisible shriek inch by inch.
The shattered divine soul energy dissipated and was then swallowed up by an even more domineering force, turning into the purest nourishment.
Ning Bu'er, standing beside him, lacked sufficient spiritual defense and let out a painful groan, feeling dizzy and almost unable to stand.
Chen Yi embraced Ning Bu'er tightly, his vast divine sense spreading out like a tidal wave.
His senses pierced through layers of void, locking onto a jagged pile of bones several miles away.
A dragon-shaped creature with an obscured face was perched on it, its demonic aura soaring to the heavens.
The aftershocks of that soul attack came from it.
Chen Yi's divine sense clearly "saw" that the dragon-shaped creature's target was some low-level soul-path demons that were spawning in the pile of bones.
That piercing scream from the soul was an indiscriminate clearing.
Domineering, and leaving no room for compromise.
He and Ning Bu'er were merely passing by and were treated like ants that could be crushed at will.
The other party didn't even bother to distinguish them and included them in the kill zone.
A cold glint flashed in Chen Yi's eyes.
He did not choose to retaliate immediately.
The aura of that dragon-shaped creature was extremely powerful, far exceeding that of an ordinary mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
More importantly, the goal of this trip is clear: the Thunder Crystal Fruit and the Yin-Yang Mystic Ginseng are the most important.
In this ancient battlefield where geniuses from all walks of life gather, any fight to the death without absolute certainty of victory is foolish.
He firmly imprinted that unique demonic aura deep within his soul.
A gentleman seeks revenge without delay.
He changed direction, and carrying the semi-conscious Ning Bu'er, chose a farther and more secluded path, and quietly disappeared into the distance.
After a while.
A hundred miles away, a desolate valley was divided into two distinct worlds.
Half of it was pitch black, swallowing all light.
Half of it is pure white, as bright as day, so holy that it is untouched by any dust.
A vast, unparalleled black and white halo distorted space, forming a powerful natural barrier.
At the core of the barrier, a mysterious spiritual root was faintly visible, its shape resembling a pair of entangled lovers, which was none other than the legendary Yin-Yang Mystic Ginseng.
Black represents Yin, and white represents Yang.
The two intertwined and embraced each other, the black and white Daoist aura emanating from their bodies transforming into visible runes that appeared and disappeared in the air. Each alternation of light and darkness exuded a profound principle of Yin-Yang dual cultivation that pointed directly to the source.
This aura possesses a fatal attraction for any cultivator who practices related techniques.
It is a yearning that originates from life and the instinct of the Great Way.
The fifth-order Yin-Yang mutual embrace of the profound essence!
However, temptation and danger coexist.
This black and white spatial barrier alone is an insurmountable chasm.
It is not simply an energy barrier, but a concrete manifestation of the essence of Yin and Yang. To enter it, one not only needs to have an extremely strong foundation of cultivation, but also a profound understanding of the essence of Yin and Yang.
Forcibly entering will only result in being instantly attacked by the Yin and Yang energies, turning into nourishment, and eventually becoming part of the barrier.
Here, the top cultivators of the Great Qing cultivation world have been at a loss for half an hour.
Kudu was dressed in a golden kasaya, holding a vajra pestle, and his face was solemn.
Behind him, a dozen or so Nascent Soul cultivators rippled with their auras, each with a hint of frustration and resentment on their faces.
Just now, a cultivator skilled in fire magic attempted to burn the barrier with pure yang fire, but the flames were completely devoured the moment they touched the black aura, without causing the slightest ripple.
Another sword cultivator unleashed his Gengjin sword energy, slashing at the white light barrier. However, the sword energy dissipated and crumbled the moment it touched the barrier, as if it had vanished into thin air.
After several attempts, not only did the barrier remain unmoved, but several cultivators were also swept away by the Yin-Yang Daoist energy that rebounded, causing their spiritual energy to become disordered. They coughed up blood on the spot and their auras weakened.
The injuries are serious.
"Amitabha."
Kudu murmured a Buddhist chant and turned his gaze to an old man in the crowd.
She is Ji Yuanhong, the elder of the second branch of the Ji family.
This person specializes in the "Refining God Technique," and his spiritual power far surpasses that of his peers. He has already touched the threshold of the divine transformation of Yin and Yang, and is one of the few among them who has some knowledge of the Yin-Yang Dao.
Ji Yuanhong did not refuse; he sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes.
The next moment, a translucent spiritual entity emitting a faint glow rose from the top of his head; it was his divine consciousness.
The divine sense plunged headlong into the black and white barrier.
This time, the barrier did not produce a violent counterattack; it merely rippled outwards before absorbing his divine sense.
Everyone held their breath.
However, it only took three breaths.
"puff!"
Ji Yuanhong, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened her eyes. Her face was ashen, and she spat out a mouthful of blood. Her soul returned to her body instantly, and she swayed precariously.
"Elder!"
The Ji family members quickly stepped forward to help him up.
Ji Yuanhong waved her hand and said weakly, "No—it's a separate space inside, where yin and yang are reversed and space is disordered. My spiritual cultivation is too low. Once inside, my divine sense is suppressed infinitely, and I can't pinpoint the location of those two Xuan Shen ginseng roots at all."
He paused, a look of horror flashing in his eyes.
"Those two Scrophularia ningpoensis plants inside were practically the rulers of the space. I even felt that they sensed my prying and expelled me with just a thought."
These words shattered the last glimmer of hope in everyone's hearts.
If even a powerful figure like Ji Yuanhong, who had touched upon the realm of divine Yin and Yang, was in such a sorry state, then they had no hope whatsoever.
The value of this pair of fifth-order Yin-Yang Xuan Shen is immeasurable.
It is not only a sacred item for dual cultivation, enabling Daoist partners to advance their cultivation by leaps and bounds, but its pure Yin-Yang essence is also incredibly effective in nourishing the soul.
The body-refining techniques of Vajra Temple emphasize both internal and external cultivation. The stronger the physical body, the greater the burden on the soul. This item is a coveted treasure for them as well.
Moreover, even if the Vajra Temple doesn't need this level of scarce strategic material, trading it with those Nascent Soul stage monsters would be enough to earn them a huge favor or a spiritual treasure of the second tribulation level or higher.
Therefore, as long as there is still a chance, Kudu is unwilling to give up.
He led the group to this spot, racking their brains, trying to find a possible solution.
Compared to other opportunities in the ancient battlefield that are guarded by powerful demonic beasts, this pair of Xuan Shen is at least extremely low in offensiveness, but it is difficult to obtain.
Time slipped away in anxious waiting, and several more hours passed in the blink of an eye.
Kudu still couldn't come up with a good solution; he was ultimately not good at this.
The atmosphere in the valley grew increasingly heavy and oppressive.
Just then, a clear and alluring female voice rang out above everyone's heads without warning.
"Those lower-level cultivators in the Great Green Realm, if you can't do it, just give up."
"These two ginseng roots are not for you to touch. Make way, and I will go in and try."
