Chapter 214: Zhou Yuan's Lifespan Issue
Although he had known Zhou Yuan for many years, Ye Changsheng had never thought about her lifespan.
The people around him have always been young, so in his subconscious mind he would not consider the relatively distant topic of life expectancy.
It was not until Zi Ling mentioned it today that Ye Changsheng suddenly realized that Zhou Yuan was already over three hundred years old.
Yes, Zhou Yuan and Wang Heng were both contemporaries. Before Wang Heng died, he was already in the late Jindan stage and was looking for a way to break through to the Yuanying stage.
The age is definitely not low.
The same is true for Zhou Yuan. She has been in the Jindan stage for more than 300 years, which is really a bit slow for Ye Changsheng.
But in fact, this is the norm in the world of immortal cultivation. For most Jindan cultivators, it is extremely difficult to break through a bottleneck in the middle stage.
"Elder Ye, I know this request may be a bit excessive, but could you please help me pick a longevity fruit? I am willing to tell me the location of the treasure in Xutian Palace!" Zi Ling said in a voice transmission with a pleading look in her eyes.
A pair of beautiful eyes looked at Ye Changsheng pitifully.
Every time the Xutian Palace is opened, the number of longevity fruits that can be found is limited, and they are basically taken away by Nascent Soul cultivators.
With Zi Ling's current level of cultivation, it would be extremely difficult to pick one, so she could only pin her hopes on Ye Changsheng.
The only price she could offer in exchange was the treasure map containing the thousand-year-old spiritual milk that she got from the young master of Qingyang Sect.
On the one hand, he needs to rely on Ye Changsheng's protection so as not to be killed by Master Sanyang, and on the other hand, he hopes he can help pick the longevity fruit.
But what she could take out in exchange was the Ten Thousand Year Spiritual Liquid and the Soul-Nourishing Wood. In Zi Ling's opinion, such an exchange was completely unequal.
That's why she said the request was excessive.
However, even though she knew it was an excessive request, she still said it, because apart from pinning her hopes on Ye Changsheng, she had no other choice.
"Longevity fruit? One of the purposes of Man Huzi entering Xutian Palace this time was the longevity fruit. If we kill him there, we will have one less strong enemy after entering the inner hall!" Ye Changsheng thought to himself with flashing eyes.
In this Xutian Palace, the person who poses the greatest threat to him is Man Huzi.
This person is not easy to kill. Unlike other Nascent Souls, he is very fragile. With his speed and strength, he can be easily killed.
Man Huzi has thick skin and tough flesh. If he were to unite with other Nascent Souls to act as a meat shield, it would be very difficult for Ye Changsheng to deal with him.
Even more, if the three middle Nascent Soul cultivators united together and cooperated with the three early Nascent Soul cultivators, Ye Changsheng would have no choice but to retreat.
So, Ye Changsheng said to Zi Ling: "Don't worry about the longevity fruit. I have my own plan. Just take me there when the time comes!"
Hearing this, Zi Ling was overjoyed and said quickly: "Elder Ye, you are so kind..."
"There seems to be something going on ahead!" Han Li's voice rang out, a solemn look on his face as he looked at a corpse lying on the ground in the gray mist ahead.
Ye Changsheng nodded and said, "That person was teleported here earlier than me. After seeing me, he flew into this place of injustice. As a result, he is dead now!"
The corpse in front was the old man who was scared away after seeing Ye Changsheng.
Walking forward, Zi Ling took a look at the old man's face and said, "This is Ge Li from Tiantai Island, a fellow Taoist who is in the early stage of Jindan!"
After hearing this, Han Li's expression changed slightly. The cultivator in the early Jindan stage died here silently.
Obviously, there is something terrible deep in this ghost land.
"I heard that since more and more monks died in this first level, this place has gradually become dangerous, and even gave birth to evil spirits at the level of Ghost King!" Zi Ling said.
The Ghost King is equivalent to a cultivator in the late Jindan stage.
For ordinary Jindan cultivators, such existence is naturally very dangerous.
"Let's go!"
Ye Changsheng said lightly and took the lead to walk forward.
Zi Ling quickly followed. Han Li stood where he was, observed the corpse for a few seconds, and then followed.
Regardless of whether the Ghost King exists or not, as long as you follow Ye Changsheng, there will basically be no danger in this land of ghosts.
After walking forward for a distance, suddenly, a soft sobbing sound came from the front. It sounded like a woman's voice, sharp and low, which made people feel irritated.
"Soul-stirring ghost sound!"
Hearing this voice, Zi Ling said solemnly.
This is the innate spell of a high-level demon ghost. Once it is cast against an enemy, it can cause the opponent, whose cultivation is far lower than its own, to have the blood flow reversed throughout the body, causing the opponent to lose control and dance wildly to death.
Zi Ling quickly focused her mind to avoid being tricked. She looked ahead with a serious expression, suspecting that there was a ghost king in the fog.
Ye Changsheng took a step forward, snapped his fingers, and a purple sword energy flew out from his hand.
"ah!!!"
As the sword energy flew into the mist, a shrill scream sounded for a moment, and then it became quiet.
The three of them walked forward, and soon they saw a zombie-like creature lying on the ground.
"Kiyayasha!"
Zi Ling let out a soft cry and recognized the identity of this ghost.
"In this land of injustice, there are quite a lot of evil spirits, and there are several ghost kings!" Ye Changsheng said after looking around.
Hearing his words, Zi Ling and Han Li were both startled. They looked into the fog around them but found nothing.
After Ye Changsheng said this, he snapped his fingers and continuously emitted sword energy.
Every time a sword energy flies into the mist, a shrill scream will be heard.
Among these ghosts, there were several powerful ghosts comparable to those of cultivators in the late Jindan stage, but none of them could withstand his sword energy.
Even if one of them was a powerful ghost that was acquainted with the old demon Xuan Gu, it was still annihilated by his sword energy.
The sword energy in Ye Changsheng's hand continued to flow until the tenth sword energy was released. The sword energy flew into the mist without any sound.
It was as if it disappeared out of thin air!
Just as Zi Ling and Han Li were wondering whether Ye Changsheng's sword energy had wasted his mana, they heard Ye Changsheng's calm voice:
"You two should stand back, the old demon Sanyang is coming!"
The Three Yang Demon? !
Upon hearing this, Zi Ling and Han Li were immediately shocked, and then they saw dozens of small green beads spinning in the mist and flying towards them at a high speed.
"Blue Fire Thunder!"
Zi Ling screamed and suddenly retreated at a high speed, but Han Li on the other side was even faster than her.
When Han Li heard Ye Changsheng's words to step back, he immediately flew out with a "whoosh".
They can't do anything in this kind of Nascent Soul level battle, and standing here will only cause trouble.
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
After those dozens of emerald green beads flew in front of Ye Changsheng, they exploded with a loud bang, and the rolling air waves immediately dispersed all the surrounding ghost fog.
Zi Ling, who was a little slower, flew backwards only a few dozen feet when she was immediately affected by the rolling air waves and was blown away.
When she stood on the ground in the distance again, her face was pale and she looked at the green light in front of her with some fear.
She had also seen the power of this green fire thunder when she killed the young master of Qingyang Sect.
If there is no powerful magic weapon to resist this kind of magic thunder, even a Jindan cultivator will be killed by it.
The opponent actually threw out dozens of them. Even a Nascent Soul cultivator could not withstand such intensive bombardment.
Zi Ling's eyes were filled with worry as she looked at the shining green light.
It was a ball of emerald green flame burning. As the name suggests, the Green Fire Thunder would ignite the Green Yang Demon Fire after it exploded.
The Qingyang Demonic Fire was the means by which Master Sanyang became famous. It was extremely powerful and had burned countless opponents to death.
Although she was very confident in Ye Changsheng's strength, Zi Ling was still filled with worry when she saw that he did not use any magic weapon to resist the green fire thunder.
The fog gathered again, blocking her vision and making it impossible for her to see the battle situation over there.
Zi Ling continued to retreat at a high speed, wishing she could get dozens of miles away from here. The battle between Nascent Soul cultivators was no joke.
That fellow disciple of Elder Ye has already run away without a trace!
As he retreated, looking at the thick fog, Zi Ling's heart was filled with worry.
I wonder if Elder Ye can deal with the old demon Sanyang?
In the thick ghost fog, Ye Changsheng, wearing a green battle armor, walked out from the burning green flames.
"You are actually a Nascent Soul cultivator. This is really beyond my expectation. When did a figure like you appear in the Chaos Star Sea?" An old and cold voice was heard from the fog.
Ye Changsheng did not answer his question, but laughed and said: "I thought you were walking with Man Huzi and the others, so it would take some effort to kill you, but I didn't expect you to come to me on your own!"
In his words, he did not hide his disdain for the old demon Sanyang.
This immediately angered the old demon. How dare a cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage be so disrespectful to him?
"court death!"
With an angry roar, a blanket of green flames rushed out from the ghost fog and pounced towards Ye Changsheng ferociously.
When the green flame was about to reach him, a green light flashed on Ye Changsheng's body, and then the whole person disappeared in an instant.
Then, a roar immediately came from the fog, accompanied by a violent roar.
The blue demonic light collided with the dazzling golden light, and the terrifying waves immediately caused the surrounding fog to swing outward in circles.
With a muffled groan, the two beams of light retreated away after touching each other. The old demon Sanyang stood in the mist, his face full of shock and fear.
Around his body, hundreds of small emerald green beads spread out, filling every inch of space around him.
These are all green fire thunders. It seems that the old demon has emptied out all his assets and used hundreds of green fire thunders to stop the elusive figure.
Just now, Ye Changsheng's incredible speed caused the old demon to suffer a great loss, and he was almost killed by a single punch .
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and blocked the attack of the man wearing the evil ghost mask after sacrificing an ancient protective treasure.
The old demon Sanyang then scattered all the green fire thunders around himself.
As long as that person dares to get close, he will definitely trigger these green fire bombs, causing a chain reaction, causing hundreds of them to explode at the same time.
As the refiner of the Green Fire Thunder, the old demon Sanyang himself was not afraid of being blown up by this kind of magic thunder. A green flag flew above his head, casting a green light that enveloped him.
That is his natal magic weapon, the Qingyang Banner!
At the same time, the old demon immediately took out a black bowl magic weapon, put it on his head, a black light sprinkled down, and a layer of protective shield covered him again.
“Whoosh!”
A purple sword energy flew out from the mist and shot towards one of the hundreds of green fire thunders.
Seeing this scene, the old demon Sanyang sneered. Want to use this method to trigger all the green fire thunders?
The Qingyang Banner above his head shook, and a ray of green magic fire flew out, immediately burning the sword energy to ashes.
Immediately afterwards, "Swoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh..." endless sword energy flew in from all directions, falling down as densely as raindrops.
The expression of the old demon Sanyang changed, and he immediately pointed at the green flag above his head. Then the flag shook rapidly, and large balls of green flames flew out of it, surrounding the old demon Sanyang and forming a green fireball.
After the purple sword energy touched the green flame, it was continuously burned and could not pass through the light curtain formed by the flame.
“Whoosh!”
Suddenly, among the purple sword energy, a figure flashed by and suddenly appeared in front of the old demon Sanyang.
As soon as that figure appeared, it immediately triggered a large area of green fire thunder. In an instant, all the green fire thunder exploded, and the large area of green fire thunder seemed to be about to explode.
At this moment, the figure flashed again and disappeared in the exploding green fire thunder.
The old demon Sanyang's face turned cold when he saw this, and he immediately stretched out his hand and pointed. A large area of clear light was sprinkled from the Qingyang Banner, shining on the green fire thunders that were about to explode.
Suddenly, those green fire bombs that were triggered and about to explode all became quiet, spinning around but not exploding.
The fight between the two was extremely brief, but it contained a lot of murderous intent.
Seeing that his goal of detonating hundreds of green fire bombs at once had not been achieved, Ye Changsheng couldn't help but think to himself:
"This Master Sanyang has dominated Chaos Star Sea for hundreds of years. He is indeed quite capable!"
"Any Nascent Soul old monster should not be underestimated, especially those who have been famous for a long time in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul!"
He opened his mouth and spit out a delicate little mirror that flew above his head.
The purple light from the mirror shone towards the protective light ball formed by the Qingyang Magic Fire. In an instant, a ball of purple flame suddenly appeared on the Qingyang Magic Fire.
As soon as the purple flame appeared, it immediately swallowed up the Qingyang Demon Fire and burned a big hole in the green light ball.
Purple sword energy swarmed in instantly.
Boom! Boom! Boom…
A series of explosions sounded, and most of the hundreds of green fire bombs were detonated by the purple sword energy in an instant.
At the same time, Ye Changsheng's figure disappeared from the spot in an instant, and he passed through the overwhelming green flames that exploded like a ghost and appeared in front of the old demon Sanyang.
"Bang!"
A heavy punch hit the black light shield, causing it to vibrate violently.
When the old demon Sanyang saw this scene, a look of horror appeared on his face.
