Chapter 517: Stars in the Netherworld
"You're so good at hiding."
Holding the token, Li Yuan looked towards the ancient temple looming on the top of the mountain. If he hadn't heard it through listening, he would have been kicked out of the Bafang Temple unexpectedly a year later.
"One wisp of seventh-level incense will increase your stay by one year..."
Li Yuan thought to himself, "I still have eleven strands of seventh-level incense. Even if I use them all, it can only last for thirteen years..."
Can you reach the top of the mountain in thirteen years?
Looking at the mountain road that seemed to have no end, Master Li Dao shook his head. He was a man who knew himself well. This was something that even the gods would fight for and even die for.
Woohoo~
The breeze is gentle.
The world of Bafang Temple was just like the outside world, with sun and moon, and the alternation of day and night. He counted with his fingers and realized that he had been here for three days.
"According to what I heard, the imperial court split up the Great Sacrifice and is trying to borrow my power to enter the Eight Directions Temple. This borrowing of power..."
Li Yuan pondered in his heart, sorting out the information he had obtained from Tingyin.
He consumed most of the sixth-level incense at one time, so the proceeds were naturally not small. From this, he could roughly calculate the actions of various forces before and after he entered the temple.
The imperial court did not change the grand sacrifice, but just wanted to split the steps and try to send people in. The five major Taoist sects were originally planning in secret, but they gathered together because of this sudden change, seemingly to discuss how to deal with it.
As for the three aliens, each of them had their own thoughts. Huang Longzi chose to cooperate with the court, and the one who was most direct in guessing what the turtle carrying the palace was going to predict was Chi Lian.
She squatted outside the temple to keep watch.
"As for Qin Yun..."
Li Yuan touched his chin. Among the news he heard, there was only one about Qin Yun, which roughly meant that he was going to go out and capture the person from outer space.
"In that case, I don't have to rush out."
After sorting out all the sounds, Li Yuan felt more at ease and less anxious. He then continued to feel the changes in himself after the blood transfusion.
Woo~
With his eyes slightly closed, Li Yuan saw a complete map of the human meridians.
Bones are like white jade, tendons are like long dragons, blood is flowing, and internal organs are trembling...
"My physical strength is three times what it was before the blood transfusion, and it's still slowly increasing."
Feeling the power within himself, Li Yuan felt better. This was the benefit of transforming into blood. More importantly, it was the reward for his perseverance in constantly changing his form.
After changing into a thousand forms, he believed that in terms of physique alone, he was as strong as any master he had ever seen.
"Before Lao Longtou and Lao Daoist Nie broke through, their physical strength was not as good as mine!"
Li Yuan's heart was burning:
"With the Dragon Demon Heart Sutra, I can continue to change my form and transform into blood... If I can change my form and transform into blood, then even if I haven't entered the Dao yet, I may not be able to fight against the Grandmaster!"
The surge in strength made Li Yuan feel at ease, and his anxiety was swept away.
It has only been three days since he came in, but he has already achieved great success in his blood transfusion. If he can stay for thirteen and a half years, he will be Wan Zhuliu, and he may not be unable to touch him!
"The only bad thing is that the efficacy of the Dragon Tiger Pill has run out..."
Li Yuan felt regretful. The blood transfusion was completed in three days, but the corresponding consumption of medicinal power did not decrease. At this moment, the medicinal power of the two Dragon-Tiger Pills in his stomach was not much left.
But he didn't panic.
When he went down the mountain, he could carry thousands of elixirs with him, plus the three Dragon Demon Pills left by the owner of the Zhaixing Tower, which were more than enough for him to break through to the Dao Pass.
"Nourish the body, improve the bones, transform into blood, and also for daily meditation..."
After thinking about it this way, Li Yuan felt that it was not enough.
After sorting and counting for a long time, Li Yuan finally opened his eyes. He let out a long breath, and felt that the depression in his heart was gone, and his eyes were opened wide.
"With the addition of the Thunder Beast Spirit Pill and the Sea-Splitting Mysterious Whale Hammer and the Dragon-Tiger Health Furnace, at least five or six thousand forms can be put together, right? The ones that are missing..."
Li Yuan changed his mind and took out the token that was emitting a faint golden light.
"To be on the safe side, we should figure out how to use this token to avoid making mistakes at the critical moment."
He was still wary of the people the court might send, but with his current martial arts skills and the Sea-Splitting Mysterious Whale Hammer in his hand, he was afraid of nothing below the level of a grandmaster.
But if the imperial court could really send Wan Zhuliu here, he would have to prepare a way out first...
hum~
A faint trembling sound was heard, and Li Yuan concentrated his mind and sensed it. In a trance, his sight suddenly rose high, and he felt as if his soul was leaving his body.
He concentrated his mind and saw that the mountains and the earth disappeared in a flash. Then, he saw the mysterious land.
Deep, dark, mysterious, weird...
Endless darkness appeared in his perception, and Li Yuan's mind was blank for a moment. Peeping into the dark realm in this state, he felt the horror of this strange place.
A strange place, strange beasts, and some indescribable things.
But before he could think about it carefully, his attention was attracted by another object.
The endless darkness is as boundless as the sea, yet there is a faint light at a very high place. The Bafang Temple is floating up and down in the sea of ink. The imperceptible aura is like a huge round cover, covering this quiet place.
"The Eight Directions Temple isolates this secluded area!"
This thought arose in Li Yuan's mind, and then, through the faint aura of the Bafang Temple, he saw a tiny glimmer of light in the deep darkness.
He counted silently and found that there were twelve spots of light in total.
"Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Soldiers?"
Li Yuan's thoughts turned very quickly, and as his mind turned, the specks of light quickly drew closer, and with just a glance, he saw something familiar.
One of the light spots points to the Black Whale Road.
"There is a connection between the Heavenly Prosperity Soldiers and the Eight Directions Temple..."
Li Yuan thought to himself that the token was very simple to use and he could land at any place within the radiation range of the twelve light spots.
You can also go away and appear somewhere else directly.
And one entry and exit would take 'twenty days' of stay, instead of being able to come and go freely as he had thought.
Li Yuan felt a little cold in his heart. If he really thought he could come and go freely as he pleased, he would probably be kicked out of the Bafang Temple soon.
And all this, without any hint at all.
"That's a good thing, too. It means that as long as there are enough high-level incense offerings, I can stay in the Bafang Temple as long as I want."
Relying on the mysterious energy, Li Yuan scanned this quiet place and wrote down the light spots where the twelve Tianyun Xuanbing were located one by one, but did not choose any one.
Instead, he looked outside the aura of the Bafang Temple.
"According to what the little female dragon said, the Tianshi Wall is vast and boundless. Even a real dragon or a big peng bird would take thousands or even tens of thousands of years to cross a region. However, through the Nether Realm, even a mortal would only need a few years or even months to cross a region..."
Li Yuan's thoughts were turning in his mind, and the aura of the Eight Directions Temple also changed accordingly. Then, he saw a faint light that was extremely far away from him and could only be vaguely perceived.
The light spot was at the very edge of the area covered by the Bafang Temple.
"Where is outside? Tianchiyuan?"
Li Yuan's heart began to beat fast, and the next moment, he felt a buzzing sound and fell out of this strange state.
Click!
At the foot of the mountain, Li Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, only to see a dark portal as tall as a person appear in the void in front of him.
“This door…”
Li Yuan's wrist trembled slightly and he released the little female dragon.
"Ah You……"
Just as the little female dragon was about to scold, her body suddenly froze, and she stared blankly at the dim light portal. She felt a familiar aura in it:
"This, this, Tian, Tian Ichigaki?!"
This was a huge shock. The Mirage Dragon's Belt expanded unconsciously, like a giant dragon stretching its body. Fortunately, Li Yuan was quick-eyed and quick-handed and grabbed it.
If she was a little slower, the little dragon would have dived in.
"Is Tianshiyuan behind this door?"
Li Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and decisively wrapped the Mirage Dragon Belt around his waist.
"I feel it, that's Tian Ichigaki!"
The little female dragon was still a little shocked. She naturally knew that the Eight Directions Temple isolated this secluded area. She had been thinking about urging Li Yuan to find a way out.
Who would have thought it would appear right in front of me so easily?
"Is the Netherworld where Tianshiyuan is located dangerous?"
Li Yuan asked.
"Of course, it's dangerous."
The little female dragon still did not dare to hide it: "The Tianshiyuan is vast and boundless, and the Youjing is even more boundless. It is said that the cave worlds of countless giants and powerful people who died in the Yuanhui are hidden in it..."
Extremely dangerous!
After hearing only half of the sentence, Li Yuan frowned.
Tianshiyuan is known as the place where stars gather. It has existed for countless tens of thousands of years. The number of powerful people who have fallen here is probably more than the number of people he has ever seen. Only one in ten thousand will leave behind a strange place after their death.
The secluded place where it is located is far more dangerous than the area covered by the Bafang Temple.
“…All the great powers have opened up paths in the Netherworld, even in various places. Those places are safe.”
The little female dragon added.
Although they had not been together for a long time and were locked in a small dark room most of the time, she still had some understanding of Li Yuan.
Cowardly, hateful, and heartless.
"so?"
Li Yuan pondered for a moment, then raised his hand and a drop of blood popped out. His powerful true energy followed and in the blink of an eye, he turned into a red little elephant.
The baby elephant swung its trunk and walked towards the pylorus without fear.
"Wait a minute."
Li Yuan raised his hand and threw out a second-level incense, which urged him to enter.
He concentrated and sensed that the moment the baby elephant walked out of the pylorus, it seemed to appear in a very far away place. The connection between them was almost cut off, and he could only vaguely feel that it still existed.
The purpose of using its perspective to see the secluded environment naturally failed.
"It doesn't seem dangerous?"
Li Yuan was a little excited. He was still quite curious about that day's Shi Yuan, but he held himself back and tried several more times to make sure there was no danger.
Only then did he put on the red blood dragon armor, picked up the mirage dragon belt, and walked carefully into the pylorus.
hum~
The moment he stepped into the pylorus, Li Yuan felt slightly dizzy.
"This is?!"
In a trance, Li Yuan seemed to hear the desolate and ancient sound of sacrifice, or the whisper of an ancient god. He slowly raised his head, and the surroundings were dilapidated and desolate, just like the secluded place he had seen before.
The difference is that there is light in this quiet place!
The light came from a very far and high place. Although it was faint, it was real. Li Yuan looked into the distance and seemed to see faintly huge "stars".
The stars float and sink in the sea of ink, glowing faintly!
