Chapter 1938: Hanging Corpse Ridge
ever encountered anything like it in all his years traversing the cultivation world. He wondered if this powerful individual hailed from the Blue Demon Sea Region, the Crimson Abyss Continent, or perh..."Don't worry, I'm not so unreasonable yet." 。Lu Xia Tian nodded. 。"Okay, I happen to know a place that not only might be related to the secrets of the Yuanci Stone but should also have some treasures useful for cultivation." 。The Pig Demon chuckled softly, thinking to himself that this human cultivator didn't seem the least bit hesitant. He probably planned to part ways with the Purple-Green Monkey Demons long ago. 。“Oh It seems you still have quite a bit of private goods hidden away.” 。Lu Xia Tian looked at the Pig Demon again. 。If there's anything that could move him, the Magnet Stone would certainly be it. 。The secret of the magnet's origin is also the same. 。“Weren’t we pretty close before Lu Xiong, you promised me that when it comes to things useful for physical cultivation, you'd share some with me too.” 。The wild boar demon scratched its head and smiled. 。"No problem, it's the Yuanci Stone. Let's split it 82." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!。Lu Xia Tian nodded. 。Tell me about any secrets you know. 。"Mentioning this secret, it's quite a long story..." 。 。 。Then I'll get straight to the point. 。Lu Xia Tian's brows jumped. He was very familiar with this wild boar demon's noise, probably comparable to his little fire crow. 。"Sorry, old habits die hard." 。"The Wild Boar Demon let out a mocking laugh and then said, 'I heard rumors that the Eastern One Bear Emperor is cultivating a powerful supernatural ability that requires Yuanci Stones.'" 。But Dong Yixiong's son was also very interested in this yuanci stone. 。It's just heard that the Yuanshi Stone, though a treasure for body cultivators, is difficult for Shenxu Realm cultivators to integrate. 。***requires special methods*** 。While Emperor Dong Yi Xiong's son, Xiong Kun, somehow heard about the rumors regarding this Yuanci Stone within the shadowy Yao Tomb. 。"As for the usage of the Magnet Stone" Lu Xia Tian's face was full of strangeness. He knew too well the power of the Magnet Stone. Ordinary cultivators of the Divine Void Realm truly couldn't use it. Without a Nascent Soul of the Integration Stage, they couldn't capture it at all, let alone refine it." 。This Pig Demon's intel was surprisingly accurate, causing Lu Xia Tian to take it more seriously. 。"Eight and nine are not far from ten, no one knows the specific situation. It's just that Xiong Kun was originally only a late-stage Qi cultivator in the Shenxu realm. If we talk about strength, he wouldn't be stronger than Brother Lu." 。Later, for some unknown reason, he became a tomb spirit. Xiong Kun even ventured into the Dark Demon Tomb once more. I saw him with my own eyes. Seven or eight Void God Realm cultivators were slaughtered by him. 。If I hadn't been lucky enough to possess a magical artifact that remained hidden, narrowly escaping danger, I probably wouldn't have had the chance to meet Brother Lu. 。“Do you know where Xiong Kun went in the Dark Demon Tomb” Lu Xiaodao asked. 。"Knowing a general range, I had a close friend who happened to be with Xiong Kun before entering the Dark Demon Tomb. We had a drink together before that, but then I lost contact with him. Even Xiong Kun became a tomb spirit, so my brother probably didn't fare much better." 。The Pig Demon sighed. 。
Lu Xiaottian listened to the matter from beginning to end. The wild boar demon's inferences were also mostly based on speculation, but Lu Xiaottian highly agreed with such speculations. That Xiong Kun was originally only a late-stage body cultivator in the Shenxu realm. Even if he became a tomb spirit, his body contained enough tomb evil energy, but under the loss of intelligence, it was impossible for him to make a leap in strength due to the relationship between tomb evil energy. The relatively reasonable explanation is that Xiong Kun probably found a way to absorb the power of Yuanci before his fall. This is a method that cultivators in the Shenxu realm could not grasp at all.
This is how to triumph over all. 。
Lu Xiaoteng, as a Shenxu realm cultivator, can also absorb the power of Yuanci. More importantly, his Yuanshen has reached the level of integration, enabling him to capture the power of Yuanci.
Mian Xiongkun is capable of this, and the factors related to his soul essence can be largely ruled out.
If what the Pig Demon said is true, there are other secrets to utilizing the Yuanci Stone. 。Lu Xia Tian was naturally very interested. 。It is possible that there are other Yuan Magnetic Stones within this shadowy and eerie tomb. 。Then let's go take a look. 。After listening to the whole story, Lu Xiaoteng did not hesitate and immediately set out with the wild boar demon to find where Xiong Kun had gone. 。
"Lu brother, look, ahead lies Guashi Ridge!" One human and one demon traversed mountains and rivers, advancing to a mountain ridge where blue light flickered. In this dark and eerie demonic realm, the largest source of light was the ball of blue light above their heads, constantly radiating with ominous energy.
Under the influence of this blue light, many spirit plants in the shadowy demon domain emitted a faint azure glow, appearing extremely strange. 。The so-called Hanging Corpse Ridge is a unique place within the dark and eerie demonic realm. Within it grows a peculiar type of tree demon called the Everchanging Top Tree, which most of the time appears indistinguishable from other demonic plants. Most demonic plants feed on either human or demonic blood as sustenance, using their roots to absorb it, or their branches to strangle their prey... 。>Only this corpse tree demon used the sharp, slender tip of its treetop to suck blood and flesh, capturing prey. After killing them, it would place the corpses on top of its branches, making a rather eye-catching sight. 。Whether they are demonic beasts raised in the dark and eerie Demon Domain since childhood, or outsiders like Lu Xia Tian, or even those who have become tomb spirits, all could potentially become its food. 。From afar, the undulating form of Hanging Corpse Ridge could be seen. Within sight, there were at least a dozen corpse trees. On top of each tree was either a human or demon corpse. 。Some corpses have had some of their flesh and blood absorbed, making them look shriveled. 。Each person wore a different expression. Besides occasional signs of panic, there wasn't much pain evident in their faces. 。When this corpse tree captures its prey, the thorns on its branches inject a highly potent paralyzing toxin into the victim's body. As a result, most of the captured prey doesn't feel much pain. 。The mountains in front of your eyes stretch endlessly, with patches of deep blue forests scattered among them, and the vegetation is distributed widely. 。Even the wild boar demon, who usually had a carefree and fearless demeanor, couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine at this moment. 。Although this large mountain range, it seems to have only found a dozen or so corpse trees. 。
But this is just a superficial representation
Those shapeless top-corpse trees are hidden in sparse groves, and even an occasional solitary tree by the roadside might be one. 。The shape of the Corpsewood Tree is highly variable. If it remains motionless, its breath is indistinguishable from that of an ordinary tree, making it impossible to differentiate. 。A roar of a demonic tiger suddenly echoed from several thousand meters away, like a not-so-tall tree falling 。Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the tree was not fallen at all, but a corpse tree lying in wait to ambush its prey. 。That demonic tiger was only in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, and after a fierce battle with the Tree Spirit, it lost quite a few branches. The Nascent Soul demonic tiger was entangled by the Tree Spirit's branches around its hind legs and couldn't break free. 。As the thorny branches of the corpse tree pierced into the demonic tiger's body, the white-browed, golden-eyed tiger's fierce struggle gradually weakened. 。Before long, the towering corpse tree, which seemed to be about to break, straightened its trunk again. The demonic tiger froze in place and was pulled from the ground by it, being pushed to the top of the tree. 。leportation techniques wouldn't make much of a difference within such a confined area. 。The Stone Demon Rat had just sprung up when several graceful sword energies slashed onto it. 。As the stone rat c...
