Chapter 1321 The Shenlian Clan
The fight lasted for several hours.
The number of Jade Sword Butterflies at this moment was less than one-tenth of the number at the beginning, and the Soul Devouring Fire Gu suffered heavy casualties after this battle, especially many Jade Sword Butterflies, who burst out all their demonic power at the moment of death, turning into sword energy all over the sky.
For the Emperor and Sky Soul Devouring Fire Gu, it was naturally not enough to take their lives, but for those low-level Soul Devouring Fire Gu, it was indeed fatal.
Xiao Lin's Soul Devouring Fire Gu, which was as many as one million, was also reduced to half of the original number, with only more than 500,000 left, which made Xiao Lin very distressed, but Xiao Lin did not use his divine thoughts to let those low-level Soul Devouring Fire Gu return to the beast ring.
Because after these several hours, Xiao Lin discovered a situation that surprised him a little.
After the Soul Devouring Fire Gu devoured the body of the Jade Sword Butterfly, its aura actually increased a lot, and it became more ferocious. In Xiao Lin's perception, these Soul Devouring Fire Gu seemed to become much stronger in an instant. Xiao Lin could even feel that the Soul Devouring Fire Gu that devoured the body of the Jade Sword Butterfly was undergoing some transformation that he could not understand.
Xiao Lin did not understand this transformation, but he wanted to see the result of the transformation, especially those low-level Soul Devouring Fire Gu, which was even more obvious. Even many ordinary-level and true-level Soul Devouring Fire Gu began to show a white halo.
Xiao Lin was not unfamiliar with this halo. Only when the Soul Devouring Fire Gu was about to advance, it would emit this halo from its body, and then turn into snow-white silk threads to wrap itself up. After breaking out of the cocoon, it was successfully advanced.
Xiao Lin raised as many as a million Soul Devouring Fire Gu. After ascending to the spirit world, these Soul Devouring Fire Gu not only did not decrease, but instead they reproduced rapidly after hunting and devouring a large number of fierce beasts.
It was only later that Xiao Lin roughly understood through some of the thoughts of those Heaven-level Soul Devouring Fire Gu that Soul Devouring Fire Gu survived in the form of a tribe. When a Soul Devouring Fire Gu advanced to the peak of the Heavenly Extreme and was able to break through the space barrier and enter the Spirit World, it would take its offspring into its stomach to the maximum extent and take them to ascend to the Spirit World together.
This is also the reason why Soul Devouring Fire Gu can reproduce in large numbers after entering the Spirit World.
However, what made Xiao Lin a little depressed was that the ten Heaven-level peak Soul Devouring Fire Gu, although they also devoured many fierce beasts, never advanced again and always stayed at the peak of the Heaven-level.
Xiao Lin also searched for a lot of classics for this purpose, trying to find a way to make them advance, but there was no progress.
Today's fight between Soul Devouring Fire Gu and Green Jade Sword Butterfly gave Xiao Lin hope, and Xiao Lin couldn't help but think of a possibility in his heart.
"Could it be that the Heaven-level Soul Devouring Fire Gu can only advance to the next level after devouring a large number of soul insects of the same level?"
At this time, Xiao Lin suddenly remembered that he had seen a sentence describing these ancient vicious insects in an ancient book: "Ancient vicious insects, born with the fierce evil spirit of heaven and earth, possess the power of devouring, and contain the power of the universe's decay. They merged into one and entered the wilderness. From then on, they killed and killed the same source, and collected all the decay in one body..."
When Xiao Lin saw this sentence at that time, he did not fully understand it. At this moment, seeing the various changes brought about by the fight between the Soul Devouring Fire Gu and the Jade Sword Butterfly, his heart moved.
After more than half an hour, the remaining Jade Sword Butterflies were all killed. On the ground, except for the mess caused by the fight between the two, there was no corpse left. Whether it was the corpse of the Jade Sword Butterfly or the corpse of the Soul Devouring Fire Gu, they were all devoured cleanly.
The number of Soul Devouring Fire Gu was less than 500,000, but only two Heaven-level Soul Devouring Fire Gu were lost, dozens of Emperor-level Soul Devouring Fire Gu were lost, and tens of thousands of Emperor-level Soul Devouring Fire Gu were lost. The rest were low-level Soul Devouring Fire Gu, and most of these low-level Soul Devouring Fire Gu were killed by the sword energy that exploded before the death of the Jade Sword Butterfly, and did not directly participate in the fight.
After the battle, the Soul Devouring Fire Gu curled up together and turned into a fire cloud of several acres in size. Xiao Lin could feel that the breath of the Soul Devouring Fire Gu in the fire cloud was fluctuating violently, and it seemed that some changes were taking place.
Xiao Lin immediately drove them back to the beast ring through his divine thoughts.
Whether the Soul Devouring Fire Gu will undergo a transformation this time still needs to be observed for a while, and Xiao Lin is not sure whether it is good or bad.
At this moment, Xiao Lin finally understood why there were no living creatures in this vast stretch of immortal mountains. Wherever there were living creatures, they would definitely not survive.
Now that the green jade sword butterflies were killed, this immortal mountain has become a safe place. If you build a cave here to practice, it is also an excellent place. However, Xiao Lin’s purpose of this trip is not to build a cave, but to go to the Hell Valley to find the Shenlian clan.
So after Xiao Lin identified the direction, he turned into a dark green rainbow and shot towards the distance, and soon disappeared among the mountains in the distance.
......
A few days later, Xiao Lin looked at a piece of land in the distance, and an expression of amazement appeared on his face.
"There is such a strange place in this spiritual world?"
At this moment, Xiao Lin had already left the mountains, but the terrain ahead amazed him. It turned out that the land ahead was strangely half ice and snow, and half blazing.
This reminded Xiao Lin of the Ice and Fire Valley where he had stayed in the interface battlefield. However, this place was different from the Ice and Fire Valley, because between the ice and snow and the blazing flames ahead, there was a river that was dozens of feet wide, and the river was half red and half emerald green, clearly divided, extending to the end of the world in the distance.
Except for this strange river, the whole place was flat, and there seemed to be a few peaks in the distance.
Xiao Lin drove the escape light and came to the river. This river was very strange. The red side was extremely hot, and in Xiao Lin's perception, it was somewhat similar to the earth vein divine fire. As for the other side, Xiao Lin could not feel the slightest chill.
He couldn't help but approach the river curiously, looking at the emerald green water. After observing for a while, Xiao Lin's heart moved slightly, and then he stretched out his right hand and gently inserted his palm into the river water.
Xiao Lin's right hand still didn't feel anything, but his face changed slightly, and he quickly retracted his right hand.
It turned out that he had just had a cold feeling in his mind. This feeling was very strange, but Xiao Lin immediately confirmed his previous guess.
Ice Soul Liquid?
Ice Soul Liquid, also called Ice Soul Water, is said to have originated from the netherworld, and has the same effect as the Yellow Spring Water. This Ice Soul Water will not cause damage to the body of a living being, but it can instantly freeze the soul of a living being.
If an ordinary person without cultivation stands by the river for a moment, his soul will be frozen to death and become a corpse.
High-level cultivators like Xiao Lin can still rely on their powerful souls to resist the erosion of ice soul water in a short period of time, but if they immerse themselves in it for a long time, their souls will suffer great damage. After a long time, they will be like ordinary people, and their souls will be annihilated and disappear.
This ice soul water is also a very precious refining material in the world of immortal cultivation. When refining magic tools, a trace of ice soul water can greatly enhance the magic tool's ability to integrate spirits, making it easier for cultivators to control it.
In some business houses, the price of this ice soul liquid is almost the same as some major rare materials, but here, it can be said that it is inexhaustible.
The icy air in this ice soul liquid does not appear, but after spreading, after a period of time, it can emit an extremely cold air, and the half of the ice and snow naturally comes from this.
After Xiao Lin understood it clearly, he followed this two-color river and flew forward.
Two hours later, a mountain range appeared dozens of miles ahead of Xiao Lin. There were five mountains in total, gathered together. The two-color river flowed out from a gap among the five mountains.
"Could that be the Hell Valley?" Xiao Lin muttered to himself as he looked at a huge black crack dozens of miles away.
In the broken animal skin map, the description of the Hell Valley was only a few words.
"Inside the Five Elements Peak, the Hell Valley, the Yin and Yang River, the Bipolar Cave, under the Red Soul Mountain, the God Refining Furnace."
Xiao Lin recalled the introduction of the Hell Valley in the animal skin map, and gradually began to be convinced that the five peaks in front of him were the Five Elements Peak.
Xiao Lin was slightly happy, and then turned into a beam of light and headed forward.
Soon Xiao Lin came to the crack, and he saw that the black crack was actually a natural moat, about a mile wide, and the two-color river was winding out from it.
Xiao Lin was about to enter the natural chasm when a shout came from above.
"Who dares to enter the Hell Valley?"
Xiao Lin's body stagnated, and a trace of surprise appeared on his face. He had just released his divine consciousness to explore the surroundings, but he did not find anyone.
Xiao Lin could not help but look up, and saw two people, a man and a woman, on a protruding rock above the natural chasm. The man was unusually tall, about ten feet tall, with strong muscles all over his body, full of explosive power.
The woman was also seven or eight feet tall, with a tall and perfect figure and a beautiful appearance, but her face was a little cold.
"I am Xiao Lin, and I come to visit the Shenlian clan. I wonder if you two are from the Shenlian clan?" Xiao Lin clasped his hands, saluted, and then said.
"Are you a human?" The man's eyes flashed with a faint red light. After seeing Xiao Lin's appearance clearly, he couldn't help but frowned and asked.
"I am a human." Xiao Lin also admitted generously.
"Although you are a human, our Shenlian clan lives in seclusion in the Hell Valley and never participates in the affairs of the spirit world. Please go back." The man waved his hand and ordered him to leave.
Xiao Lin heard this and his heart moved. He saw a flash of spiritual light in his hand and a token appeared.
"Hell Token?" After the two saw the token in Xiao Lin's hand, the man exclaimed, and then the two of them turned into two spiritual lights, one red and one green, and fell from the sky. With two "booms", the two landed in front of Xiao Lin.
Xiao Lin was shocked when he saw this. It turned out that the two people did not use magic power, but relied on their physical bodies to fall from a height of hundreds of feet. They were unscathed and extremely relaxed. Obviously, the two people were not only body cultivators, but also had profound attainments.
Not only that, Xiao Lin also sensed that the two people exuded an astonishing pressure, and Xiao Lin was also shocked to find that he could not sense the realm of the two people.
This shows that the two people are not only like him, practicing both magic and body, but also have a higher realm than himself.
This pair of men and women, the man is tall and strong, the woman is tall and well-proportioned, and the man's face is also angular, which can be called perfect, and the woman is also stunning, which makes Xiao Lin secretly amazed.
This Shenlian clan is really a race that God has chosen, and they actually have a perfect body.
Of course, what Xiao Lin did not expect was that the people of the Shenlian clan, except for their taller bodies than the human race, are exactly the same, just like a large human race.
"Ji Hongzhuo pays respect to the envoy."
"Ji Yajun pays respect to the envoy."
The two of them actually bowed to Xiao Lin at the same time, which really puzzled Xiao Lin, but he did not show any abnormal expression.
Instead, he smiled and said, "You two don't need to do this. Xiao came here to ask for help from the Shenlian clan. I would like to ask you to introduce me to the noble elders. Is that okay?"
"Since it is the envoy who came, there is naturally no problem. Lord, please follow us."
After the man made a gesture of invitation, he took the lead and flew into the natural chasm.
Xiao Lin also unfolded his escape light and followed the two closely.
After crossing the several-mile wide natural chasm, Xiao Lin followed the two and finally came to the legendary Hell Valley. It was about a hundred miles wide and surrounded by the Five Elements Mountain. Xiao Lin was surprised to find that the Five Elements Mountain actually contained the power of the five elements, which also made the Hell Valley full of the five elements force field.
Xiao Lin could also clearly sense that his actions suddenly became a little uncomfortable.
However, Xiao Lin, who had practiced the Holy Scale Burning Heaven Technique, turned his blood and qi slightly and returned to normal. Ten times the gravity was nothing to him.
In the Hell Valley, near the innermost part, there stood a red and green mountain hundreds of feet high, and many stone houses were built around this mountain. At first glance, it looked like a small village.
In front of the village, there was a small square with many refining furnaces on it. Many people from the God Refining Clan were making all kinds of magic tools.
The God Refining Clan was not only able to refine soul tools, but also had extremely high talents in refining various magic tools. It was said that the human race could almost surpass most of the spiritual races in refining magic tools, but the God Refining Clan was far inferior.
"The envoy, please wait here for a while. I will go to inform the elders of the clan." After Ji Hongzhuo finished speaking, he went into the valley.
The woman named Ji Yajun stood beside Xiao Lin without moving.
Xiao Lin didn't care, and looked at everything in the Hell Valley curiously.
The Hell Valley was not big. Xiao Lin roughly estimated that there were only about a thousand people in the Shenlian clan. The old people and children were chatting and playing on one side, while the adults were mostly refining magic tools.
Xiao Lin also noticed that there were many caves under the Five Elements Mountain, and magic tools flashed from time to time. Obviously, these caves were where the Shenlian clan stored the magic tools they refined.
