Chapter 596: The Land of the Styx, Qing Yuanzi's Surprise
"This is Fellow Daoist Qianqiu, the Saintess of the Spirit Clan. I'm sure you all have heard of her name, so I won't introduce her in detail. The last two items of this auction were brought by Fellow Daoist Qianqiu from the Spirit Clan from afar!" The voice of King Lihuo Jiao rang out in the hall.
"My name is Qianqiu, and I am currently the Holy Maiden of the Qi Ling Clan. Nice to meet you, fellow Taoists!" The round-faced woman said with a smile as she bowed to everyone.
"Saintess Qianqiu, isn't this one of the four great saints of the Spirit Clan? How did he come to our human race?"
"Could it be that the rumor is true, that the human race is about to form an alliance with the surrounding races?"
"Demon Tribulation... Alas, this is normal. In the face of such a great calamity, even if we are mortal enemies, we must reconcile!"
…
A noisy discussion broke out, and many people seemed to have learned some information through various channels. Although they were surprised by the appearance of the Saint of the Spirit Clan, they did not find it too incredible. Instead, they felt that it was natural.
In the small room on the third floor of the auction hall, the Spirit Emperor suddenly smiled softly and said to Ye Changsheng: "The reason why the Spirit Clan chose this Saint Girl from the Spirit Clan to be the envoy of the Human and Demon Clan is because she has some connection with our human race!"
Ye Changsheng smiled softly upon hearing this and said, "She was created by the magic weapon in the hands of the Immortal Cantian who built Tianyuan City. She is indeed of great significance to the two clans!"
When the Spirit Emperor heard what he said, he was a little surprised. He didn't expect that he knew such a secret thing, considering that he had not been among the human and demon races for many years.
"Brother Ye is really knowledgeable. As far as I know, the visit of Saint Qianqiu to the human and demon races actually has another secret purpose. This person has had contact with our Three Emperors and Seven Demon Kings!" said the Spiritual Emperor with a flash in his eyes.
"The Spirit Clan seems to be planning to take advantage of the demonic calamity to go to the Demon Realm's Soul Cleansing Pool and seek help from the human and demon races!" Before Ye Changsheng could say anything, the Spirit Queen told him the news she had received.
“The Soul Cleansing Pool? Haha, this must be a huge temptation for those who are stuck in the Mahayana realm, right?” Ye Changsheng said with a chuckle.
"Yes, I was also tempted, but considering my responsibility to defend the territory, it is not convenient for me to leave the Tianling Realm without permission, so I did not agree. The same goes for the others among the Three Emperors and Seven Demon Kings. They cannot escape, so I guess they will not agree!" said the Spiritual Emperor.
“So I went to find the ancestors of the Long family and others…” Such thoughts came to Ye Changsheng’s mind.
As for the Soul Washing Pool, actually every time there is a demonic calamity, there will be people rushing into the demon world to try, but basically no one succeeds.
Even Mo Jianli had teamed up with a few other people to get through it, but they were even worse than the Long family's ancestors and others. They didn't even land on the Kuling Island, and were seriously injured and retreated in the Thunder Sea Ban of the Demon Source Sea.
But from another perspective, this is also their luck.
Otherwise, if he really went to that island, he would lose his life. After all, no matter what time, the person guarding the Kuling Island is at least a saint of the demon world.
While the two were talking, in the auction hall below, the Saint Lady Qianqiu had already taken out the two finale items she had brought with her.
She smiled brightly and said to everyone, "The first treasure I brought is called the Wansen Compass. It is a famous Tongtian Lingbao on the Wanling List. It is the treasure of our Qiling Clan. This time, I took it out to show my sincerity."
"This Wansen Compass is a magical treasure of the illusion type. If the magic power is sufficient, it can release 9981 different illusions. Even a combined cultivator will be trapped in it!"
After this woman's introduction, the cultivators of both the human and demon races in the hall immediately became excited. This was a genuine magical treasure that could reach the sky. It was a rare opportunity.
Ling Huang's eyes lit up. She was already proficient in illusion, and if she could get the Wansen Compass, it would be like adding wings to a tiger.
In an instant, she made up her mind to participate in the competition for this treasure.
"The Wansen Compass has a reserve price of 80 million spirit stones. Daoist Qianqiu will donate all the spirit stones obtained from the auction to our human and demon races. This is the sincerity of the spirit race!" Lihuo Jiao Wang said loudly.
"One hundred million spirit stones!"
"One hundred and twenty million spirit stones!"
…
As soon as he finished speaking, various bidding sounds immediately appeared, and many combinations began to compete with each other.
"Two hundred million spirit stones!" When the Spirit Emperor announced this price, no one could compete with her.
It’s not that no one can offer a higher price, but that no one is willing to compete with her for this treasure. This is not only because of her status as one of the Three Emperors, but also because of the man sitting next to her.
Thus, this magical treasure finally fell into her hands.
Next, the second finale auction item was taken out by Saint Qianqiu, which was a blueprint.
"This is a structural diagram of an ancient sky-supporting warship that our Qiling clan purchased from other alien races at a high price. This boat can carry more than a thousand people, has both offensive and defensive capabilities, and can fly at an incredibly fast speed. It is an excellent treasure for saving lives in specific periods!" the woman said meaningfully.
As soon as this voice fell, the leaders of the major forces present immediately had their eyes lit up. The devilish calamity was about to come, and the importance of this thing naturally needed no further explanation.
"Not as good as the war fortresses of the Jiaochi tribe!" Ye Changsheng thought to himself as he listened to Saint Qianqiu's introduction to the Qingtian Warship.
The Jiaochi tribe is a group that often launches wars against other tribes, and the various war equipment they have can probably be said to be the best in the spiritual world.
After a fierce competition, the blueprint of the Sky-lifting Warship was bought by the ancestor of the Long family, and the Wanbao Conference ended.
A few days later, Ye Changsheng and Ling Huang went to participate in the Black Domain Exchange Fair. This exchange fair, which had the most mysterious origins among the human and demon races, was the main event of this Wanbao Conference.
The previous auction was slightly insufficient for the fusion monks and could not allow them to get what they wanted, but this Black Domain Exchange Meeting was very suitable.
The person who hosted the Black Domain Exchange Fair is very powerful. Even if a fusion cultivator causes trouble here, he will not have a good ending. It is said that there was a history of beheading fusion cultivators who caused trouble here.
The origin of the organizer is very mysterious, and not many people among the human and demon races know about it. But to people at the level of the Spirit Emperor, the identity of this organizer is very clear.
In fact, it is not difficult to imagine that among the human and demon races, there is only one force that has the ability to carry out such activities, and that is the Holy Island.
There are twenty to thirty fusion monks gathered on the Holy Island, among whom there are many strong ones in the late fusion stage. No other force among the human and demon races can compare with this strength.
Of course, for Ye Changsheng now, the once mysterious and powerful force of Holy Island is somewhat inferior to his strength.
Ever since he returned to the human race, the Holy Island seemed to have received information about him and had sent someone to invite him to visit the Holy Island.
However, Ye Changsheng never paid much attention to it.
He is not very interested in the Holy Island, but he will definitely go there in the future. After all, there should be a secret technique there that may be useful to him.
"My fellow Taoists should all be clear about the rules of our Black Domain Exchange. First, we will hold a small-scale auction..." A figure shrouded in white light appeared and spoke loudly to everyone.
As his voice fell, the auction officially began. The average level of auction items put out by the organizers of the Black Domain Exchange Fair was indeed higher than that of the previous Wanbao Conference auction.
Among the finale items he took out, there was a Tongtian Lingbao Yihai Fan, which was ranked more than 8,000 on the Chaos Ten Thousand Spirits List, and was almost as good as the Wolf King's Wanxi Demon Tower.
In addition, there is also a Qitian Gong that can increase a person's cultivation level when struck, which has also attracted the interest of many people.
In fact, Ye Changsheng came to participate in this exchange meeting with the idea of taking a look at the Qitian Luo. He had a little interest in this item before.
However, when the organizer personally demonstrated the effect of the Qitian Luo, Ye Changsheng immediately lost all interest.
This thing is really useless!
Not to mention that the effect it can have on cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage is minimal, just wanting to sound the gong and drum requires extremely harsh conditions.
It is far inferior to his Juxian Plate.
As for the body-refining technique Wan Du Hun Yuan Shen that came with the Qi Tian Luo, after Ye Changsheng had a general understanding of it, he found that it was also very useless. The effect of body refining was very poor, far inferior to Xiao Beidou Xing Yuan Gong, and even far inferior to Zhen Ling Immortal Body.
It is extremely troublesome to practice, and one needs to collect various poisons. The practice process is also very dangerous and one will fail if one is not careful.
Its only outstanding feature is that after successful practice, one becomes immune to all poisons. But in fact, whether it is the Little Big Dipper Star Yuan Gong or the True Spirit Immortal Body, one can be immune to toxins after successful practice.
After all, if one can't even resist poison, how can one call his body strong?
"I really shouldn't have had any expectations for this. After all, this technique was created by a vanquished alien race. It can't be compared with the techniques of the major sects in the fairy world!" Ye Changsheng thought with a sigh in his heart.
Next, he watched coldly as the organizers sold the auction items one by one, and then one monk after another came on stage to show their things and said what they wanted to exchange.
The exchange meeting went on like this, and Ye Changsheng would occasionally exchange one or two items with others, which could be considered a gain.
Later, when it was his turn to go on stage, he took out a precious elixir and asked to exchange it for some real dragon blood.
As a result, a monk shrouded in black mist came on stage and exchanged with him.
Although this person concealed his identity very well, Ye Changsheng could still easily tell that this middle-aged man with a pale golden complexion was the ancestor of the Long family.
In this way, the true dragon's essence and blood are obtained.
With the addition of the True Dragon, the number of the Twelve Transformations of Jingzhe that he mastered reached seven, namely the True Dragon, Heavenly Phoenix, Kunpeng, Blue Luan, Five-Colored Peacock, Black Tortoise, and Mountain Giant Ape.
Still lacking are the essence and blood of the five true spirits: Lei Peng, Nightmare, Teng Snake, Taowu, and Zhu Yan.
The power of the Twelve Transformations of Jingzhe has been further enhanced. Whenever he practices this technique in the future, the increase in his physical body and magical power will be even greater.
After getting what they wanted from the Black Domain Exchange Meeting, Ye Changsheng and Ling Huang returned to the Tianling Domain.
He passed on the immortal body of the true spirit he got from the Rat King to Nangong Wan and other women, allowing them to use this technique to strengthen their bodies while practicing magic power.
The skills in the inner pages of the Golden Palace Jade Book are naturally extraordinary. If this immortal skill is cultivated to perfection, the physical body can be compared to a real spirit.
But since it is a technique from the immortal world, it is naturally very difficult to practice. The biggest hurdle in practicing the immortal body of the true spirit is that this technique requires a large amount of true spirit blood.
This threshold is quite high even in the fairy world. Although the true spirits in the fairy world have a lower status, their blood is still hard to come by due to their small number.
Before cultivating the immortal body of the true spirit, one must first select a true spirit, and then one must constantly use the blood of this true spirit to temper the body. This is a long process.
If one wants to cultivate to perfection, even with sufficient resources, it will probably take tens of thousands of years, and the blood of the true spirit absorbed in the end is equivalent to killing a corresponding true spirit.
Therefore, this technique is difficult to practice, but this is also the common characteristic of the Golden Seal Script technique.
It is difficult to practice and the progress is slow, but after successful practice, the strength is incredibly powerful.
For Ye Changsheng, after mastering the Little Big Dipper Star Yuan Gong, he no longer needs to use this True Spirit Immortal Body. The mastery of this technique is only equivalent to the fifth level of the Little Big Dipper Star Yuan Gong.
Therefore, he directly gave the skills to the people around him and asked them to practice. He did not require them to practice to a high level in a short period of time, but at least they had to change their weak bodies.
Otherwise, apart from anything else, he would not be able to withstand Ye Changsheng’s impact in the future, which would be fatal.
Ye Changsheng now has quite a few top-level immortal skills at his disposal. If he could teach one or two of them to his people, they would benefit greatly.
In the future, after achieving great success in cultivation, it would not be a problem for him to become one of the strongest people in the spiritual world.
After arranging things in Linghuang City, Ye Changsheng left again.
This time, he directly left the areas of the human and demon races.
Not long after, in the wilderness outside Tianyuan City, two figures walked side by side, like a couple of gods.
Baohua's eyes flashed with surprise, and she looked at the man beside her and said, "It's only been a hundred years since we last met, and Brother Ye has become stronger again. Is your physical body no worse than those true spirits now?"
Ye Changsheng laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist Baohua has good eyesight. I did make a breakthrough in my martial arts not long ago, and my physical strength has reached a new level!"
"It's really hard to imagine what kind of body-refining technique Brother Ye is practicing. He can actually cultivate it to a level comparable to a true spirit. There are only a few such techniques in all realms!" Baohua said with some emotion.
In their demon world, the only one who could refine his physical body to such a level was the Nirvana Ancestor. This person pushed the set of skills he practiced to the extreme, but only in terms of his physical body could he be compared with that of an ordinary true spirit.
And Ye Changsheng's set of skills gave Baohua the feeling that it was stronger than the physical body of an ordinary true spirit.
This is very rare!
