Chapter 359: Chapter 334: Arrivals from all sides, besieging the giant beast_1
Lu Yan didn’t find the location of the Soul Acupoint for three consecutive days, but he wasn’t discouraged.
It’s quite normal not to find it in a short time.
The Soul Acupoint, existing between reality and the void, is not easy to find.
Why is it difficult to break through the Primordial Spirit Realm?
The first hurdle is, of course, the third level of Divine-level Martial Arts. People without enough talent have a hard time even getting a grasp of Divine-level Martial Arts, let alone reach the third level, in their lifetimes.
Those who can cultivate the third level of Divine-level Martial Arts in the True Body Realm are very rare.
If you do not cultivate to the third level of Divine-level Martial Arts, your True Vigor level would not be enough to open the Three Acupoints, and you could forget about the Soul Acupoint barrier.
In fact, the level of the True Body has a tremendous influence on breaking through the Primordial Spirit Realm.
Because the level of True Vigor is consistent with the level of the True Body, the higher the True Body level, the higher the level of True Vigor, and the greater the assistance in breaking barriers.
Therefore, generally speaking, those who can reach the Primordial Spirit Realm have a high chance of having a higher level of True Body, and most of them are at least Upper True Body or above.
However, nothing is absolute, some with lower-level True Bodies can also break through to the Primordial Spirit, but the chances are extremely low.
The second hurdle is finding the location of the Soul Acupoint.
This step is extremely difficult, but it doesn’t have a fixed rule.
Some people may never find it in their lifetime, while some may find it in less than an hour.
But most of those in the Primordial Spirit Realm need several months to find it.
Anyway, he still has several Divine-level Martial Arts that haven’t been maximized. He can still receive the gifts of Heaven and Earth to enhance his True Body level, so he’s not in a hurry to break through to the Primordial Spirit Realm.
Waiting until the True Body level is even higher before breaking through will have more benefits.
"First, let’s upgrade the Star Leg."
Lu Yan took out another Immortal Bone for the Dao Book to devour.
The Star Leg was already close to the seventh level, at a critical point, so in no time, the Star Leg successfully broke through and reached the seventh level.
As expected, the gifts from Heaven and Earth descended again, and the pure essence of Heaven and Earth surged towards Lu Yan’s body.
Lu Yan’s True Body began to transform again.
After half a day, the transformation stopped.
"This transformation is almost similar to the last time when the True Dragon War Body was cultivated to the ninth level..."
Lu Yan carefully experienced it.
One was the ninth level of Divine-level Martial Arts and the other was the seventh level of Divine-level Martial Arts, but the improvement was similar, Lu Yan quickly figured out the key points.
The True Dragon War Body was originally formed by fusing Top Martial Arts, and after the fusion was successful, it directly reached the sixth level.
The first six levels probably couldn’t receive the gifts of Heaven and Earth, which is why it was similar to the seventh level Star Leg.
Although the level of his True Body has improved, it should still be within the King’s True Body and has not substantially broken through, but his strength has undoubtedly improved.
The residual energy of the Immortal Bone was used by Lu Yan to upgrade the True Dragon Nine Strikes.
Then, after Lu Yan tried to find the Soul Acupoint to no avail, he started to examine the Divine Level Archery, ’Demon Hunting’.
After memorizing the content of the secret book, he opened the Divine Intent Diagram.
The content on the Divine Intent Diagram was simple, a figure, holding a bow and arrow, bending the bow towards the void as if shooting in mid-air.
After watching for a while, suddenly, the figure in the picture started moving, stepped forward, as if appearing in the cosmic starry sky, and across from him were numerous towering figures.
Some full of Demonic Qi, some full of Immortal power.
A man alone facing thousands of Immortal Demons, then opened his bow and shot, causing the gigantic Immortal Demons to shatter and fall to the ground.
Lu Yan felt a sharp pain in his eyes, a terrifying aura burst out from the Divine Intent Diagram, making him involuntarily retreat several steps.
"Such a terrifying aura, could this Divine Intent Diagram have been drawn by the Martial Ancestor?"
Lu Yan exclaimed.
Each of the Nine Extremes of the World is at least at the thirteenth level or above, since the ancient times, almost no one has been able to cultivate it to the highest level.
The Demon Hunting, since the ancient times, maybe only the Martial Ancestor had cultivated it to the highest level.
The Nine Extremes of the World, some mysterious and unpredictable, no one knows where they originated.
The only one who was sure of who created it was the Demon Hunting.
For the time being, Lu Yan didn’t dare look again, he closed the Divine Intent Diagram, rested for a while, and when his eyes recovered, he opened the Divine Intent Diagram again.
A moment later, just like the previous time, Lu Yan again retreated several steps under the terrifying aura.
Closing the Divine Intent Diagram to rest, after regaining strength, he continued...
In this cycle, Lu Yan’s resistance to the Divine Intent Diagram gradually increased, from initially being able to only gaze at it for a few breaths, to ultimately being able to gaze at it for several hours.
...
Meanwhile, chaos ignited outside the treasure location.
All the Primordial Spirit Realm experts from various forces rushed over upon hearing about the Dagu Dynasty’s treasure and engaged in fierce battles with the giant beasts.
The giant beast was powerful, ordinary third-tier King’s True Body experts were no match for it, they could easily be crushed.
However, there were too many experts from various factions, including experts from the Spirit Sect.
Moreover, there were a handful of top prodigies, like Wu Hao, who number as many as five.
After reaching the third transformation of the Primordial Spirit Realm, their combat power was extremely terrifying.
Additionally, a few individuals held powerful trump cards, such as the Immortal power bestowed by the lord of the Fairy Ruins.
Facing the siege of many experts, the strong beast was getting battered, covered in wounds.
Of course, the beast also went mad, desperately attacking and causing huge losses to various factions.
The number of Primordial Spirit Realm experts from all major factions that fell here was more than twenty, surpassing all Primordial Spirits from the Shengxuan Sect.
If it weren’t for coveting the treasures inside, many people would have retreated by now.
But, it feels regrettable to retreat now.
The largest treasure trove of the Dagu Dynasty, which even contains a complete Nine Extremes of the World, is too enticing.
Some of the Nine Extremes of the World have been lost over time, some incomplete, and not many are still intact, held in the hands of a few super Feudal Princes.
Roar!
The injury of the beast grows more severe, but it counterattacks with increasing ferocity.
Meanwhile, on the other side, a group of people quietly move forward, bypassing the battlefield and successfully entering the dragon’s mouth location.
It’s none other than the group of the noble young master.
Suddenly, they come across a headless skeleton.
"This should be the remains of Lin Changfeng. Three hundred years ago, my clan accidentally learned that he obtained two Yanluo Fragments. We sent people to hunt him down aiming to seize the Yanluo Fragments, but it happened to be the time when the Heavenly Ruins were opened. Lin Changfeng took the opportunity to escape into the ruins," an old man said.
"So, what happened afterward?" someone asked.
"Later, my clan sent people into the Heavenly Ruins and found him. They pursued him and he fled all the way here. In the end, he was killed by the beast. My clan lost people too, the beast was too strong, and the remaining clan members had to flee."
"But now, although Lin Changfeng’s remains are still here, his Sumi Mustard Seed Bag, which should have contained the two Yanluo Fragments, is nowhere to be found," the old man added.
"Could it have been taken by the beast?" the noble young master frowned, his face somewhat unsightly.
The main purpose behind their visit to the Heavenly Ruins had two objectives: First, to find Lin Changfeng’s remains and obtain the two Yanluo Fragments. Second, to obtain the treasure of the Dagu Dynasty. Now, they had nearly achieved their goals, but Lin Changfeng’s Sumi Mustard Seed Bag is still missing.
"It’s unlikely. That beast appears to have no intellect, and only shows savagery and bloodlust. The Sumi Mustard Seed Bag should hold no attraction for it," the old man explained.
However, unwilling to give up, they searched the surrounding area but found nothing.
"Stop searching. We should get the treasure inside first and look for it again later. We need to move fast, otherwise, things might change," said the noble young master with a stern face.
The group nodded in agreement and headed toward the passageway leading to the dragon’s mouth. Soon, they came upon the stone door leading to the treasure trove of the Dagu Dynasty.
"There are only defensive Wish Patterns. Young Master, it’s your turn," reported an old man after carefully observing the door.
The noble young master nodded, reached into his Sumi Mustard Seed Bag, and produced a token.
If Lu Yan were here, he would be astonished, as this token was identical to the one Shen Yinuo had.
The noble young master inserted the token into a slot in the stone door, but nothing happened.
He took out the token, flipped it over, and tried again. Still, there was no response.
"What’s going on?" the Young Master frowned.
"Young Master, you could try dripping some of your blood onto the token," suggested an old man.
The Young Master nodded, squeezed out a drop of blood onto the token. The token immediately absorbed the blood, and numerous Wish Patterns emerged from it, intertwining with the Wish Patterns on the stone door.
The team’s spirit was lifted, thinking that they were about to succeed. However, the stone door remained unmoved without any sign of opening.
"What’s going on? Why isn’t it opening?" the noble young master became a bit irritable.
The old man next to him frowned, unable to understand the situation either.
"Young Master, there are indications here that someone has been digging. Could someone else have already entered this place?" someone suggested, pointing to the previously dug passageway.
"It is true that others have been here, but it’s impossible for them to enter. Aside from my clan, outsiders can only get in by completely eradicating the Wish Patterns here and breaking down the stone door. But the door and its Wish Patterns are intact," the noble young master stated, gritting his teeth, he dripped a bunch of blood onto the token, still, there was no response.
Then he asked other people to take their turns dripping blood, but the stone door still refused to open.
"What’s going on? What’s going on?" the noble young master was getting more irritable, his eyes turning red.
The others remained silent, also clueless about the situation.
"Attack! Obliterate the Wish Patterns by force and break open the stone door!" he finally ordered.
The group attacked the stone door together, but the defensive Wish Patterns on the door bounced back all their attacks.
"There are people outside." Inside the stone door, Lu Yan heard the noise and changed his expression slightly.
After waiting for a while and hearing only a few sounds but no notable movements, Lu Yan relaxed. It seemed that the people outside could not come in.
He continued to immerse himself in understanding the ’Demon Hunting’ technique.
Outside, the young master and his group continued to attack and suddenly heard a furious roar. It was the beast. After the roar, there was silence.
The next moment, a group of people ran over like the wind.
"Damn it!" the noble young master’s face twisted in frustration.
He knew the beast had been killed and the high-level figures of the various forces were rushing here.
Next, even if they could open the stone door, they would not be able to monopolize the treasure inside.
Upon seeing the young master and his group, the faces of the high-level figures from various forces turned grim. They hadn’t expected that someone would make it here ahead of them.
Then, the high-level figures from various forces teamed up to bombard the stone door. However, the defense of the stone door was too strong. Despite their combined attacks, the stone door remained unaffected and immovable.
