Chapter 1292 Flame Scaled Toad
Xiao Lin did not plan to go to the tomb of the ancestral monster immediately. First, he needed to study the ancient language of the ancestral monster and understand the contents of the map thoroughly.
In addition, he had just killed two inner sect elders of the Bailang Sect. With the two of them in the late stage of the Refining Void Realm, their status in the Bailang Sect was not low. It was hard to guarantee that the Bailang Sect would not search for the murderer in a big way. The reason why Xiao Lin destroyed Yuwa Island was to destroy the body and eliminate all traces.
Xiao Lin was not worried that he would be tracked down. At most, he would leave the Desolate Sea. The Star Sea Region was vast and boundless, and there were dozens of areas similar to the Desolate Sea Region. Not to mention that the Bailang Sect might not be able to trace it back to him. Even if they did, unless they sent high-level cultivators above the late stage of the Fusion Realm, they would pose a threat to him.
However, just in case, Xiao Lin still planned to hide for a while and avoid the limelight. In the world of immortal cultivation, there are countless cases of immortal cultivators dying unexpectedly. He encountered many of them in the mortal world. Usually, when a sect member disappears and is confirmed dead, they will send someone to investigate, but most of these things end up in vain.
After all, for immortal cultivators, it is very common to enter an ancient ruin and be trapped or even killed by the restrictions inside.
Even if Xiao Lin himself died in this desolate sea, I am afraid no one would know.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin sighed. The world of immortal cultivation is so cruel, and the immortal road is not easy to walk. Maybe one day, he will die inexplicably like Feng Langxiu and his wife, and the immortal road will be cut off.
Xiao Lin began to live a secluded life again, filling his time every day. In addition to practicing, he studied various secret arts and magical powers, and also began to study the ancient language of the ancestral monster.
Spring goes and autumn comes, and the four seasons alternate.
The residents of Taoyuan Island still live a peaceful life, and the Wuyin Fairy Valley in the back mountain is also shrouded in fog all year round, wrapping the entire valley. The elders in the village always remind the younger generation not to enter the thick fog in the back mountain, otherwise they will be hungry for a few days. If they anger the fairy messenger, it is not just a matter of starving, but they may starve to death in the thick fog.
Thirty years passed quickly.
One day, Xiao Lin woke up from his meditation. He counted with his fingers and found that more than 20 years had passed since he was in seclusion.
Feeling the fluctuation of mana in his body, Xiao Lin couldn't help but smile bitterly. These 20 years of seclusion and hard work only slightly improved his mana.
At this speed, he might not be able to cultivate to the peak of the late stage of refining emptiness without thousands of years.
"It seems that I still have to find a way to find and buy some spiritual medicines to refine spiritual pills." Xiao Lin muttered to himself, and then thought of the tomb of the ancestral monster.
In the past thirty years, Xiao Lin has completely mastered the ancient language of the ancestral demons and translated all the words on the map.
He also accurately grasped the location of the ancestral demon tomb. Through the information left by Feng Langxiu and his wife, Xiao Lin understood that there was not only one ancestral demon tomb. In this boundless sea, there are many ancestral demon tombs. Under normal circumstances, only ancestral demon tribes with the same ethnic group and similar bloodlines can share an ancestral demon tomb.
Before sitting and passing away, these ancestral demons will return to the ancestral demon tomb, condense their own blood essence, turn it into ancestral demon true blood, and store it in the tomb for fate.
Therefore, after the demon cultivators advance to the tribulation, unless a few demon cultivators can awaken their own ancient blood, otherwise they will start looking for the ancestral demon tomb, precisely for the ancestral demon true blood. Only by integrating the ancestral demon true blood can they stimulate their own ancient blood, thereby perfecting their own Tao body and achieving one of the necessary conditions for ascension.
As a human, Xiao Lin naturally does not have such a problem. His purpose of obtaining the true blood of the ancestor monster is to refine the body-refining elixir and practice the Holy Scale Burning Heaven Technique.
After Xiao Lin advanced to the seventh level of the Mysterious Scale, it has been a long time, and he has been unable to break through, so Xiao Lin wants to use the body-refining elixir to impact the realm, but ordinary body-refining elixir has little effect on Xiao Lin.
However, at the entrance of the Ancestral Monster Tomb, there lives a flaming colorful scale toad. This flaming colorful scale toad is an ancient fierce beast, and its combat power has reached the peak of the fourth level, which is equivalent to the peak of the fusion.
Of course, the fierce beast is still much weaker than the peak of the fusion cultivator in terms of combat power because it does not cultivate the soul, but at least it can reach the same combat power as the late fusion cultivator.
After understanding this, Xiao Lin also understood why Feng Langxiu and his wife were so deliberate in looking for high-level formations.
This Fiery Color Scale Toad can not only spit out burning flames, but also contains a strong fire poison in the flames. Normally, even if a cultivator in the Fusion Stage is poisoned by this poison, it will be very troublesome.
If a cultivator below the Refining Void Stage is poisoned by this Fiery Flame, within an hour, the blood in the body will evaporate and the body will explode and die. It is extremely powerful.
Only by using the power of the formation to isolate the poisonous flame of the Fiery Color Scale Toad, and wait for its flame power to be consumed, and then take the opportunity to take its life when it is exhausted, can it succeed.
This was originally the method that Feng Langxiu and his wife summed up after research. Unfortunately, they died before they implemented it, which benefited Xiao Lin instead.
After some thought, Xiao Lin felt that this method was feasible. This flaming colorful scale beast was brutal and bloodthirsty by nature, but its IQ was not high. As long as he arranged the inverted yin and yang lock sky formation in advance and led it into the formation, it would only be a matter of time to kill it.
Xiao Lin still had strong confidence in his inverted yin and yang lock sky formation.
During this period, although Xiao Lin practiced in seclusion in the cave, he also sent a small number of soul-devouring fire Gu out to investigate the movements within ten thousand miles around Taoyuan Island. At present, there seemed to be no abnormality.
After thirty years, this matter should have been settled.
After thinking about it, Xiao Lin planned to go to the tomb of the ancestor monster to find the ancestor monster's true blood.
On this day, the weather was fine and the fog that had not dissipated for years in the fog-hidden fairy valley suddenly dissipated. A dark green and shocking long rainbow rose into the sky. After flying to a height of hundreds of feet, it slightly bent and shot towards the northeast. After flashing a few times, it disappeared without a trace.
Three months later
Xiao Lin appeared in an unfamiliar sea area. He looked ahead, the rolling storm, the dark clouds almost sticking to the sponge, and the howling wind.
The sea water was also dark black, and no one knew how deep the seabed was here.
Xiao Lin stood in the void a hundred feet high. After some verification, he was sure that the entrance to the tomb of the ancestral demon was on an island behind the storm in front.
The reason why Xiao Lin was sure was because of the storm, because the storm was caused by the flame-colored toad swallowing and spitting out flames. Xiao Lin learned from the information left by Feng Langxiu and the others that there was a ten thousand year cold pool on the island, and the flame-colored toad liked to spray flames on it to temper its inner elixir.
Under the alternation of cold and heat, this storm was formed, stretching for hundreds of miles.
After Xiao Lin determined the address, he waved his sleeves, and eighteen formation flags and thirty-six shining formation plates flew out into the air. After shooting for several miles, they disappeared without a trace.
Xiao Lin pinched the spiritual formula, and shot out a stream of magic power in the air, while chanting something.
This lasted for a cup of tea, and then Xiao Lin stopped. The inverted Yin and Yang lock sky formation had been set up.
The next step was to go to the island to lure the beast over, and use the power of the formation to trap it. Of course, it was also necessary to kill it with the formation. Otherwise, even if he entered the tomb of the ancestral monster, he would definitely encounter it after he came out, because Xiao Lin didn't know how long it would take him to enter the tomb of the ancestral monster. The inverted Yin and Yang lock sky formation could trap it, but if it took too long, the formation would still be insufficient because of the lack of spiritual energy absorbed by the formation, causing the formation power to collapse. At that time, the flaming colorful scale toad would still be able to break out of the formation.
If this guy got alert, it would be even more difficult to trap him with the inverted Yin-Yang lock formation.
Xiao Lin arranged the formation and then spit out nine purple thunder star shields, circling around it.
This flaming colorful scale toad is a fourth-level beast, and its combat power is equivalent to that of a late-stage fusion cultivator. Xiao Lin did not dare to be careless. He controlled the escape light and slowly flew into the storm.
As soon as he entered the storm, Xiao Lin felt a huge pulling force, but the nine purple thunder star shields emitted crystal purple and blue spiritual light, wrapping Xiao Lin up, and the pulling force immediately disappeared.
After flying hundreds of miles forward, Xiao Lin vaguely saw a huge island through the dim sky in front of him.
After flying for dozens of miles, Xiao Lin's eyes suddenly became clear. The original storm disappeared without a trace. In front of him was an island about a hundred miles in size. The island was desolate, and in the middle of the island was a deep pool of about an acre in size.
The deep pool was calm and waveless, revealing an amazing chill. Within a few hundred feet around the deep pool, thick black ice condensed, but the water in the pool was not frozen, revealing a hint of weirdness.
Hundreds of feet away, there was a dense stone forest covering a range of dozens of miles, and on one of the huge rocks, a huge toad was lying.
This toad was a hundred feet in size, exuding colorful colors all over its body, and its body was covered with scales, which were also colorful.
At this moment, it was staring at the deep pool in front with a pair of big eyes. After a while, accompanied by a "quack", its big mouth suddenly opened, and a pillar of fire about a foot thick immediately gushed out.
The pillar of fire sprayed onto the deep pool, and immediately made a "sizzling" sound, accompanied by a large piece of white mist rising up, and the pillar of fire also went out.
Xiao Lin could clearly sense that at the moment when the pillar of fire came into contact with the water of the pool, a stream of cold and hot air shot out quickly along both sides, and soon shot out several miles away.
Xiao Lin understood at once that the flames sprayed by this flaming colorful scale toad seemed light and indifferent, but contained great power. However, this power touched the extremely cold water in the deep pool, and actually reached a short balance, turning into an airflow wrapped in the two forces of extreme cold and extreme heat, gushing out.
Needless to say, this airflow entered the storm and turned into the source of power for the storm that enveloped potential.
At the same time, Xiao Lin secretly admired the flaming colorful scale toad. The storm it created through this method perfectly hid the island.
Similar storms are common in this boundless sea. Not to mention that the number of immortal cultivators passing by here is extremely rare. Even if there are occasional immortal cultivators passing by, they will only ignore this place as a common storm in the sea.
Xiao Lin quietly observed the flaming colorful scale toad. This guy exuded a fierce aura, but it was obvious that he was wandering in the void at this moment, just mechanically repeating the action of spraying flames.
Suddenly Xiao Lin's eyes condensed, and he looked at the stone forest behind the flaming colorful scale toad. Under a rock in the stone forest behind it, there was a dark cave entrance, which was about ten feet in size, and a stream of green gas was constantly gushing out.
Xiao Lin could clearly sense from more than ten miles away that the green air was the condensation of demonic energy, and the fact that it could condense into substantial demonic energy was enough to prove that there were quite a few demon cultivators buried in the tomb, which was why it was still gushing out after so many years.
Xiao Lin took a deep breath, and with a wave of his sleeves, 108 blue phoenix ice swords suddenly filled the void. As Xiao Lin stretched out his right hand, 108 blue phoenix ice swords immediately fell towards his palm, stacked together, and turned into a dark green long sword.
Today's blue phoenix ice swords are all of the quality of first-level fairy treasures. After fusion, their power is enough to match that of ordinary third-level fairy treasures.
Xiao Lin's mana rolled in his body, and a huge sword intent began to surge out. With a clear wind chant, Xiao Lin swung his sword, and a blue phoenix that was a hundred feet long broke through the air, turning into a brilliant spiritual light, and slashed towards the flaming colorful scale toad.
The flaming colorful scale toad suddenly woke up, its eyes regained their spirit, and it instantly locked onto Xiao Lin in the distance.
But it obviously didn't care about dealing with Xiao Lin, but instead stared at the Qingluan sword energy that was rushing towards it. With a "quack" sound, its belly suddenly swelled up. At the moment when its belly swelled up, the rocks under it also made a "crackling" sound, and countless cracks appeared.
With a "quack~" cry, the flaming colorful scale toad directly spurted out a column of fire. This column of fire was several times more condensed than the previous column of fire, and it faintly revealed a colorful spiritual light, and flew towards the Qingluan sword energy emitted by Xiao Lin.
"Chichi~~"
The Qingluan sword energy slashed on the flame column, and the fire column immediately split into two, gushing out to both sides, while the Qingluan sword energy still fell on the head of the flaming colorful scale toad.
The Fiery Colorful Scale Toad was startled, but the fierce light in its eyes became even more fierce, and its belly expanded and contracted.
"Quack~~"
The flaming pillars it spewed out actually accumulated in front of its mouth in an instant, turning into a huge fireball. In fact, this was just because it sprayed too fast, and the flames in front of it had no time to shoot out. As the power of the flames accumulated, it spewed out again.
The huge fireball instantly collided with the Qingluan sword energy.
"Boom, bang~~" The flames swept out, and the sword energy was crisscrossed. Within hundreds of feet in front of the Fiery Colorful Scale Toad, the flames suddenly surged, and the scattered sword energy fell, erupting with a series of roaring explosions.
