No. 182 Great Harvest (Two-in-One)
Clang
A clear and crisp sword "hummed" in the narrow cabin, the next moment a sharp sword intent burst out from the sword body, instantly filling the entire cabin.
Zhao Xuan and Ye Mei only felt that their skin was vaguely like being pricked by countless fine needles, aching faintly, and immediately awakened them from their cultivation.
Following the sound and looking over, only a golden long sword was seen floating quietly in mid-air, with golden light all over it, and its strong momentum could be felt from far away.
The Dao instrument, in this era where the true stage is not visible, is absolutely the strongest treasure. Now, Yun Kong has swallowed a large amount of Da Huang Jingjin, finally undergoing a transformation and upgrading to a Dao-stage treasure, completing its qualitative transformation, and its power has also been increased by several orders of magnitude.
Although the Xuanjie and Daojie differ by only one boundary, they have an essential difference.
Even if an ordinary magic treasure is extremely powerful, it cannot stir up the momentum of heaven and earth. However, a Taoist stage is different, no matter how low its grade is, it also possesses the power to stir up the momentum of heaven and earth.
Once the power of heaven and earth is mobilized, it is no longer comparable to ordinary magic treasures. This is also the fundamental reason why having a Taoist instrument can make the 'Gate' sect stand unshakeable.
Qifeng was also awakened by the sword's "hum" at this time, slowly opening his eyes. The next moment, the sword seemed to have been summoned and flew into Qifeng's hand with a "whoosh".
Suddenly a strong sense of confidence arose from his heart, making him immerse in it and unable to extricate himself.
"Master, I've broken through to the Dao Vessel level and can now exert my power at the Tribulation Crossing stage. Moreover, in the instant of my advancement, I comprehended the eighth sword of the Qinglian Sword Classic - the Qinglian Sword Domain." Yun Kong said with great surprise.
"Great, just in time!" Qifeng was overjoyed in his heart. This Qinglian Sword Domain was only grasped by Wu Kong Sword Sect's Qinglian Sword Sect, and its terrifying degree could be imagined.
Moreover, its quality has also broken through the Taoist stage, and his own cultivation has also been improved. It can be said that three joys have arrived at the 'door', and this time he has a better grasp of the magic tribe's journey.
"Qifeng, your treasure has now reached the Dao instrument level. Can you try to break open this monster and get out?" Zhao Xuan hastily said, she didn't want to stay in this place for a moment longer. The outside was unbearably foul-smelling, and she could only stay inside, her bottom was almost rusty from sitting.
"Yes, I don't want to stay here for another moment." Ye Mei also chimed in. Previously, she could still bicker with Qi Feng, but after half a month of cultivation, even opening her eyes was too much effort, and it was almost suffocating her.
"Of course." Zhi Feng naturally didn't want to stay in this place either, there were still many things waiting for him to do, and he immediately stood up and walked out of the cabin.
"Clouds are empty, whether you can go out or not depends on you, don't disappoint me." Qi Feng said, and then threw the sword in his hand into the sky.
"Yes, master." Yun Kong responded with a sound, and immediately transformed into a golden light rushing towards the stomach wall. This time was different from the last time, and it easily cut open the monster's stomach wall with just one slash. The next moment, a stream of bright red **gushed down.
"Master, this time it's easy, so I'll lead the way in front and you follow behind." Yun Kong transmitted his voice.
"Alright!" Zhi Feng responded with a single word, then retreated into the cabin, placing his hand on the crystal ball in the middle, slowly inputting the sword yuan force to begin controlling the ship.
The ships immediately transformed into golden rays under Chi Feng's control and shot out, rushing towards the "channel" opened in the clouds.
However, soon Yun Kong transmitted his voice again: "Master, this sea beast's cultivation is extremely terrifying, it should have formed an inner elixir, that's a good thing for refining elixirs, do you want to take it away before leaving?"
"Do you know where it is?" The benefits of the natural elixir within the Qifeng Zhizhi are that it contains the essence of a demon beast's entire body. If one were to obtain it and then use special alchemy techniques to remove its will and impurities, they could absorb its essence for themselves and increase their cultivation.
And such a terrifying sea beast, its internal elixir is naturally extremely precious, if he doesn't take it away, he would feel that the time he spent here was wasted.
"Knowing that it's inside his skull, we're inside its body, and it can't do anything to us. How about we just keep killing our way up?" Yun Kong suggested.
"Alright, let's do it this way. After being locked up by that guy for so long, I've got to take some compensation with me before I leave, or else I won't be able to forgive myself." Qifeng's emotions were somewhat 'aroused'.
Yun Kong received the command from Qi Feng and immediately reacted, his sword flashing as he quickly charged towards the sea beast's brain. The ship made of Da Huang Jing gold followed closely behind, bathing in the sea beast's blood and advancing effortlessly.
In this process, the sea beast seemed to feel a huge crisis and let out a thunderous roar, but unfortunately, there was a powerful ban on the boat, and although the sound wave was strong, it could not affect Qi Feng and others inside.
After an unknown period of time and traversing countless blood vessels, they finally arrived at their destination - the cerebral cavity of the sea beast. There was no flesh or blood here, but rather a separate space.
Among them, two round objects were actually suspended, one gray and one gold. The golden color was naturally the inner elixir of the sea beast, but what about the other gray one?
"Soul pellet, it's actually a soul pellet, heavens!" Zhao Xuan, who was standing beside him, suddenly let out a shocked cry after seeing the grey circular object.
"What is a Soul Pellet?" Qi Feng furrowed his brow, it was actually the first time he had heard of such a thing.
"You don't even know this, I really don't know how you've been cultivating." Ye Mei said sarcastically, "Soul pellets and internal pellets are similar. Internal pellets are formed by the condensation of all the essence in a demon beast's body, while soul pellets are formed by the condensation of a demon beast's soul. Only great demons that have existed for over 100,000 years can form them, they're extremely rare."
"What's the use of that?" Zhi Feng didn't mind her sarcasm, he thought that the value of this Soul Pellet might be even more precious than that Inner Dan, otherwise Zhao Xuan wouldn't have been so surprised.
"It's just been said, it's a product of the soul's condensation, containing extremely terrifying soul power. If you can find the legendary Shura Soul Tree and use it as a medium to absorb it, you can greatly enhance your primordial spirit in a short period of time. Unfortunately, the Shura Soul Tree has long been extinct and no longer exists." Ye Mei said with regret.
"Shura Soul Tree?" Qi Feng's eyes lit up. Who said that Shura Soul Trees no longer existed in this world? Little Mei actually had one, and it was a big trunk too.
Thinking of this, his mood became even more 'excited', to know that he was now most lacking in spiritual power, and then heaven immediately gave him such a big gift, letting him not know what to say.
"How about you, do you know where to find the Shura Soulwood?" Ye Mei couldn't help but ask as she looked at Qi Feng's appearance.
"How could I possibly know that, isn't it already extinct?" Zhi Feng would tell her the truth, but he felt a bit regretful. Xiao Mei had followed Qin Mu and hadn't brought it over, or else he could have absorbed its soul power immediately and improved his cultivation.
It's possible that before arriving at the Sen Luo continent, he can raise the Ancient Sword Scripture to the eighth level, and by then, he will have more than an 80% chance of getting back the 'Medicine' King Scripture.
"How is it that the more I look at you, the more I feel like you know where to find the Shura Soul Tree?" Ye Mei gazed at Qi Feng with suspicion, his expression not looking like he didn't know what was going on.
"I think so too." Zhao Xuan nodded in agreement beside him.
"Kidding, that's ancient stuff, how would I know? I was just thinking that after getting it, I could sell it and exchange for a large amount of refining materials to further upgrade my magic treasure." Qi Feng wouldn't admit it, so he quickly thought of an excuse to brush them off.
"Really?" The two were clearly not too convinced by Zifeng's words.
"Of course." Zhi Feng smiled slightly, trying to appear as natural as possible.
"Qifeng, no matter what you think, but I still want to advise you that it's best not to have any ideas about hitting things." Zhao Xuan reminded.
"What does it mean?" Zhi Feng didn't understand.
"This thing isn't something that can be easily obtained, it's the soul crystal of this sea beast that has been condensed for over a hundred thousand years, and the soul power and will within it is unimaginable. Do you think our strength is enough to withstand such a terrifying spirit?" Zhao Xuan asked.
"This..."
"The internal elixir can be re-cultivated if it's lost, so you don't have to worry about losing it. However, if the soul elixir is lost, it will die and you can imagine what kind of reaction that would cause. So, you mustn't hit its soul elixir, or else we'll both end up dying a terrible death." Ye Mei added, also worried that Qi Feng might do something stupid and lead to their complete defeat.
"I understand." Qifeng was unwilling to give up, after all, compared to his inner elixir, this soul elixir would have a greater effect on him. If he could get it, he could break through the eighth level of the Ancient Sword Scripture in a short period of time. But now, he couldn't even move it, which was really frustrating for him.
"Master, isn't that the legendary Soul Pellet? Should we 'acquire' it?" Yun Kong was also shocked, clearly he too knew about the Soul Pellet.
"Let's just forget it, we can't beat it." Qi Feng had thought about getting rid of it, but compared to that, his life was more important.
"Master, we don't need to clash with it head-on. Don't you have the Death God Sword? Use that thing to suppress it and we can take it away completely. Moreover, after taking it away, its consciousness won't disappear along with it. Keeping it will make it a secret weapon, which can be released at critical moments, equivalent to having a super master." said Yun Kongdao.
"Can the Death God's Sword suppress it?" Qi Feng immediately understood Yun Kong's meaning, he wanted to throw this thing out at a critical moment.
This is an existence that has survived for over a million years, with a soul strength that no one can match. If it goes crazy, even the strong of the human race will find it hard to bear, let alone the demon race, which is originally a relatively weak species in terms of soul.
His only concern was whether the Death God's sword could subdue it; if it couldn't, they wouldn't be able to escape even if they wanted to.
"No problem, the Death God's Sword has been imbued with the power of the Death God and can subdue all spirits of the dead, including Yuanshen. If you're still worried, you can leave first and let me take care of it." Yun Kong replied.
"Alright, you go ahead and send us out first." Qifeng nodded his head. He wasn't worried that Yun Kong would cause any problems. After all, he was already a Dao artifact now, and had swallowed a large amount of Da Huang Jingjin to advance, making him even harder than an ordinary Dao artifact. Even if they provoked the sea beasts' counterattack, it wouldn't be a big deal.
"Good!" With that, Yun Kong swung his sword again and directly opened a mouth on the sea beast's forehead. A golden light then burst out along with the rolling blood, and in the blink of an eye, it had already surged out for over ten miles.
As for Yun Kong, he stayed inside, and Qi Feng handed over the 'Jiao' sword of the God of Death to him, hoping that he would return triumphantly.
"Zi Feng, where is your magic treasure? Why didn't it come out with you?" Zhao Xuan found that since they came out, the Taoist instrument had disappeared, so she was very curious.
"It stays inside the sea beast's body. There are some things I'm not convenient to move, but it can." Qi Feng smiled slightly and waited quietly.
"Aren't you really going to pay attention to that Soul Dan?" Ye Mei couldn't help but ask.
"Let's try, if it doesn't work, we'll just run away. After all, we've already escaped from the belly of that sea beast." Qi Feng shrugged his shoulders, and at this time, he heard Yun Kong's joyful voice in his mind, immediately bursting into laughter: "It's done!"
"Did you really get the Soul Pellet?" Zhao Xuan couldn't believe it, that was a terrifying existence that had survived for over 100,000 years, with a soul so strong it could rival those of gods. She found it hard to imagine what means Qi Feng used to actually subdue its Soul Pellet.
"Heh heh, it's a secret." Qi Feng didn't explain and directly walked out of the cabin, instantly being enveloped by seawater, with a massive water pressure pressing down on his body.
Fortunately, his cultivation had made a breakthrough, and although this pressure was strong, it was still within his tolerance.
A faint rustling sound came, and as I looked in the direction of the sound, Yun Kong was quickly approaching, with one hand grasping a golden-colored inner elixir and the other hand grasping a gray-colored soul elixir.
As for the Death God's sword, it was directly 'inserted' above the Soul Orb, suppressing it firmly.
"Master, I didn't disappoint you." As he spoke, Yun Kong handed over the Inner Elixir and Soul Elixir to Qi Feng, who directly stored them in his spatial ring. He then asked, "What about the sea beast's corpse?"
"It sank to the bottom of the sea, that sea beast's body was too big, my spatial ring space is limited, can't hold it all, so I could only let it fall, but I took a lot of its 'meat', and its skeleton, its 'meat' contains a huge amount of energy, the skeleton is also an excellent material for refining equipment, are good things, would be a pity to throw them away."
If it weren't for the limited space ring, he really wanted to take away the entire corpse of the sea beast. The whole body was a treasure, and even the blood could be used as medicine. Moreover, it was absolutely the best medicine for the flesh and bones of living beings.
"Ah, you're absolutely right." He said, taking out a dozen or so spatial rings from his bosom and handing them over to him: "Catch up with that sea beast and fill its 'meat' and skeleton for me. Especially the skeleton, it might come in handy later."
"Good!" Yun Kong responded with a sound, immediately taking over the space ring, and then rushed out again, only to return after a long time.
"This time it's really a blessing in disguise, I love the sea so much!" Qi Feng couldn't help but shout.
This time, his harvest was really too great. His own cultivation broke through continuously, Yun Kong's level was promoted, and he also gained insight into the Qinglian Sword Domain. He also obtained the inner elixir, soul elixir, and many blood 'flesh' and bones of the sea beast.
This gain is no less than obtaining a large ancient site's inheritance, as long as he obtains the 'Medicine' King Scripture and returns to the Desolate Ancient Continent, his strength will be substantially increased in a short period of time.
It was then that he truly had the strength to fight against fate.
"Don't shout anymore, this is the deep sea and there are other sea creatures present. Let's just leave quickly." Ye Mei said with some disdain for his sudden outburst.
"Right, right, I must hurry to the Senluo Continent, time is precious." Only then did Zhi Feng realize that a month had passed unknowingly. His schedule was already tight, and now it's even tighter.
He immediately returned to the cabin and controlled the ship to rush towards the sea surface, continuing to head towards the Senro continent.
As soon as Zhi Feng's words entered Ye Mei's ears, her expression darkened involuntarily, only then did she remember that he had gone to challenge the Demon Clan.
