Chapter 396: Overseas Strange News
"A world of difference? I'm afraid you are exaggerating." Yuan Ming was a little unconvinced.
"The power of spiritual treasures is beyond your imagination. The Night Parade of Hundred Ghosts and the Cold Moon Ring on you are just imitations of spiritual treasures I made. They are far from real spiritual treasures. There are very few real spiritual treasures. I'm afraid there are no more than three in the entire Central Plains Immortal Cultivation World." Master Shura rolled his eyes at Yuan Ming and said.
"Cold Moon Ring? Are you talking about this ring?" Yuan Ming raised his right hand, revealing the white ring on it.
"Yes, I got a method of refining the ancient spiritual treasure Nine Palaces Cold Moon Ring in my early years. Unfortunately, due to various restrictions, I only refined this imitation, which is less than 30% of the power of the original." Master Shura sighed.
Yuan Ming was stunned. He couldn't sense the runes in this Cold Moon Ring. He only used his magic power to stimulate some shallow power, which was already amazingly strong. If he could stimulate the power of the runes, I really don't know how powerful it would be.
Such a cold moon ring is less than 30% of the power of a real spiritual treasure. The power of a real spiritual treasure is really unimaginable.
"The spiritual treasure has other magical features. If you have the opportunity to obtain the Shura Bloodthirsty Map on the next level, you will naturally know." Master Shura said again.
"The Shura Bloodthirsty Map you mentioned, could it be..." Yuan Ming suddenly thought of something.
"Yes, it is the spiritual treasure mentioned in the memory I just showed you. The Hundred Ghosts Night Parade Map was refined by imitating the Shura Bloodthirsty Map, but the spiritual materials are different. I have also made some adjustments to the runes in it. The magical powers of the two are very different. The Shura Bloodthirsty Map is not an ordinary spiritual treasure. With my spiritual runes alone, I can keep you safe without worry, but whether you can recover it depends on your own ability." Master Shura said.
Yuan Ming nodded, keeping these in mind, and then asked: "Excuse me, Senior, since you made the Night Parade of Hundred Ghosts, it should be stored in the Shura Palace. Why is it outside?"
"I just placed the Night Parade of Hundred Ghosts in the outermost hall of the Shura Palace. That Heavenly Ghost Sanren once accidentally entered this place before the Shura Palace was born and took away the Night Parade of Hundred Ghosts." Master Shura said so.
"I see." Yuan Ming nodded.
"Although the Night Parade of Hundred Ghosts and the Cold Moon Ring are both imitation spiritual treasures, they both have potential. If you can cultivate to the Return to Void Realm in the future, you can try to upgrade them to complete spiritual treasures." Master Shura said again.
"Thank you for your good words, Senior, I will try my best. But Senior Shura, in the memory you showed me, you mentioned that the Shura Bloodthirsty Map was given by an overseas visitor. Could that senior also be a Return to Void cultivator? Is he still alive in the world now?" Yuan Ming asked again.
Master Shura was silent for a long time, then he slowly shook his head and smiled bitterly:
"I am not very clear about the origin of that person's cultivation. I don't know whether he is alive or not. After I stepped into the Return to Void, I searched the entire Yunhuang Continent, but I didn't find any clues left by that person. Maybe that person has returned to overseas."
"The stone tablet outside the Black Tower records that you have been overseas. What is it like there?" Yuan Ming asked curiously.
"Do you know what overseas is?" Master Shura asked instead of answering.
"To be honest, I had never heard of the overseas world before entering the Shura Palace. According to the words engraved on the stone tablet outside the tower, it should be the world outside the Yunhuang Continent, right?" Yuan Ming said.
"Yes." Master Shura said.
"I heard that the East China Sea is vast, with endless islands and numerous resources, which are said to be inexhaustible. Is that also an overseas world?" Yuan Ming asked.
"The East China Sea is just offshore, and it is a world apart from the real overseas world." Shura shook his head, looking into the distance with a look of nostalgia.
Yuan Ming did not speak, but waited quietly.
"Overseas is a place completely different from Yunhuang Continent. In a word, it is a huge world." Master Shura was silent for a moment, thought about it and said.
"Huge? Where is huge?" Yuan Ming was a little confused.
"Everything is, whether it is waves, storms, or monsters living there. You may imagine huge waves thousands of feet high, tornado columns connecting the sky and the earth, and giant birds with wings spread out, covering the sky and the sun? These are commonplace overseas." Master Shura said.
Yuan Ming opened his mouth, but could not say anything.
"I have visited overseas three times. The first time I started from the North Desert, crossed the Nether Sea near the coast there, and arrived at the overseas area three years later. I encountered a gray sea fog. The fog was full of Yin Qi. I flew for eleven years but couldn't fly out. My body was almost corroded by the Yin Qi in the sea fog and turned into a ghost body. The gray fog sea has a hallucinogenic effect. If I hadn't happened to find the "Dream of All Living Things" rune, I would have died there. With the help of the Dream of All Living Things rune, I resisted the hallucinations, barely escaped from the gray fog, and fled back to Yunhuang." Master Shura said.
"Boundless gray fog? Is it some kind of natural disaster overseas?" Yuan Ming was stunned and asked.
"It's not a natural disaster. I later explored and pondered from many aspects. It was just an ordinary sea fog overseas." Master Shura shook his head and said.
Yuan Ming was stunned on the spot. An ordinary sea fog almost took the life of a returning to the void cultivator. This is enough to illustrate the dangers overseas.
"The second time I set out from Southern Xinjiang, flew over the Stone Dry Sea and arrived overseas. The sea water there is extremely corrosive and difficult to land. I flew for several months before I found a gray island in the waves. I was about to land and rest, but I finally found that it was a giant beast sleeping in the sea. Moreover, I was poisoned by a strange poison that should be the poison in the body of the giant beast. Once I cast a spell, I felt unbearable pain all over my body. I had no choice but to retreat. It took me a full twenty years to dispel the toxins in my body."
"The third time, and the last time, I went to the East China Sea to try to find the legendary Three Immortal Islands. As a result, I spent ten years but did not find the fairy island. Instead, I left the offshore area and then encountered a tsunami that lasted for several years. I finally persisted and encountered a tree demon as big as a mountain. I didn't want to provoke it, but the tree demon was extremely aggressive and attacked. I couldn't get away, so I had to fight with it for more than a month. Finally, I was defeated and my Nascent Soul was defeated by the tree demon." said Master Shura.
"Such a powerful tree demon?" Yuan Ming took a breath of cold air.
"I thought I was doomed, but a huge mouth rose from the bottom of the sea and bit the giant tree. It turned out to be a huge sea turtle. The two beasts fought each other. I took the opportunity to burn my blood and use the blood escape magic. I was lucky to escape back. But this time, I have no chance to recover and stop here." Master Shura said calmly.
Yuan Ming was agitated when he heard this and remained silent for a long time.
"The overseas world is full of mysteries and extremely dangerous. Even Yuanying and even Return to Void cultivators are not much different from mortals there. A storm and a sea fog can take your life. Boy, if one day you also step into the Return to Void realm, listen to my advice. Don't explore overseas easily. Even if you go, you must be fully prepared. You must never rely on your high cultivation to force a flight. Otherwise, you can only be like me, leaving a joke for future generations." Master Shura sighed gloomily.
"Is this a joke? There are many cowards and self-degrading people in the world. What qualifications do they have to laugh at the seniors? Moreover, the seniors' experiences are so precious. If the later generations dare to explore overseas, they should thank the seniors for finding the way forward for them. If someone can set foot in overseas lands in the future, the first thought that arises in their hearts must be to thank the seniors for pointing out the direction for them." Yuan Ming said decisively.
"If there is such a day, I will have no regrets at all." Master Shura was a little excited when he heard this.
"Senior, you don't know that before I set foot in the world of cultivation, I made a living by writing travel notes and writing. I was also well-known in Dajin. If you allow me, I would like to write a travel note for you and circulate it in the world, so that you will not waste your hard work in exploring overseas." Yuan Ming said.
"Oh, you can write? I've had similar thoughts before, but unfortunately I don't have any talent for writing. If you can write this book, it will help me. This is a record of my three overseas explorations. You can use it as a reference." Master Shura took out a jade slip and handed it over.
"I will definitely do my best." Yuan Ming took the jade slip and said solemnly.
"It's rare that you are so dedicated to my work, so I'll give it to you." Master Shura stretched out his hand and a ball of black mist appeared out of thin air, whirling.
"Is this demonic energy?" Yuan Ming's pupils shrank.
"Hey, you know about demonic energy? Although demonic energy occasionally descends on Yunhuang Continent, not many people know this word." Master Shura was slightly surprised and pressed his palm in the air.
The black gas rushed towards Yuan Ming quickly, but it did not rush to his body, but split into two and entered the two spirit beast bags on his waist.
Yuan Ming was startled and quickly released his spiritual sense to check, only to see that two streams of demonic energy flowed into Huazhi to form a purple-black cocoon and into King Kong's body.
Huazhi was now refining the demonic energy of the Blood Willow with all his strength. As the demonic energy flowed in, his aura immediately became extremely active, and the speed of refining the Blood Willow increased several times.
However, within a few breaths, Huazhi's demonic power surged rapidly, and he actually broke through the third-level limit.
The Blood Willow was a fourth-level demon beast. Although a lot of it dissipated when it was killed, the remaining demonic energy was still very strong. After Huazhi broke through the third level, there was still a lot of demonic energy that had not been refined.
Huazhi did not stop and continued to refine the corpse of the Blood Willow, and his aura increased again.
King Kong absorbed this demonic energy, and his body also changed. He grew a lot taller out of thin air. There was a frying bean-like explosion in his legs, and strange black patterns appeared on each of his leg bones.
"The two spirit beasts around you seem to have a great origin and great potential. If they can absorb a lot of demonic energy, their cultivation may be improved faster than yours. When I went to sea, I collected a lot of demonic energy. I just gave it to your two spirit beasts, which should help them to go further." Master Shura said.
"Thank you, senior." Yuan Ming thanked.
"The demonic energy on the Yunhuang Continent all comes from overseas. Where did the demonic energy in your two demon beasts come from?" Master Shura suddenly frowned.
"I have been in southern Xinjiang for a while and accidentally entered a place called Snake King Valley. There is an underground palace there, which hoards some demonic energy. The demonic energy in the bodies of these two spirit beasts was absorbed there." Yuan Ming explained.
"Snake King Valley? I don't seem to have heard of it. Maybe the name has changed in the past three thousand years? Oh, forget it. I can't leave here now. It's useless even if I know it. However, if you have a chance in the future, you still have to go there to take a look. Places with demonic energy must have some extraordinary features." Master Shura said.
Yuan Ming nodded and took the other party's words to heart.
Since Master Shura had nothing else to say, he raised his hand again, and a bamboo door surrounded by a faint white light appeared in front of Yuan Ming.
