Chapter 500: The sound of Conch (1/2)
After looking at that ghastly tomb passage, Ye Chuan thanked his good luck and slowly calmed down.
The broken Dragon Headed Flying Crossbow showed that Zhu Sijia and her party had indeed entered this grave. Perhaps, they were accidentally trapped in or they might have intentionally entered it. Even the accompanying Sea Demon Patriarch might not know where exactly was the Lost City located, thus they were exploring and searching all graves. Since even he alone could break out of the trap, Zhu Sijia’s party was large in number, moreover, there was cunning Sea Demon Patriarch leading the way. Although they might be in danger, it wouldn’t be easy to trap them.
After thinking carefully, Ye Chuan’s heart eased a bit.
Originally, after he was suddenly teleported into this tall mountain with ancient graves everywhere, he was worried, worried about the safety of Zhu Sijia, Tuoba Xiaoniao, Little Long’er and others. Now that he understood the circumstances inside the ancient grave, he finally had a bit of peace of mind. It was very likely that Zhu Sijia, Sea Demon Patriarch and others were looking for the specific location of Lost City in the front shrouded with dense mist. Or they might have even met with Old Demon of Mount Yin, Rain Demon and Plague Archfiend Abasi and waiting for him to catch up.
But, Ye Chuan discarded the thoughts of advancing. He calmly sat cross-legged on the spot and summoned twelve human faced snakes and Six-Winged Golden Cicada to guard him. He then carefully examined the conch he found inside this ancient grave.
This conch that fell from the body of that sand demon was black in color and a black light was floating around it. Even at first glance, it looked very old. And holding it in his palm, he could feel majestic energy fluctuation, clearly was a rare ancient treasure.
Ye Chuan carefully sized it up for a while and began to refine it.
In such a dangerous place, if he was able to strengthen his cultivation, then it would be the best as that might save his life at the critical moment.
Although Ye Chuan was worried about Zhu Sijia, Tuoba Xiaoniao, Little Long’er and others, and he wanted to join them as soon as possible, he didn’t forget the true purpose of this trip.
This time, he came to the sea with Sea Demon Patriarch because he wanted to find the opportunity to improve his cultivation in the racial holy land of Sea Demon Clan. And after accidentally falling into the ancient city inside the grave, he obtained this conch that fell from that sand demon, this was also a kind of fortune. After refining this conch, not only he had an additional protective treasure, his might also make a breakthrough in his cultivation.
In the later stage of cultivation realms, the progress would be slower and slower. Even the seclusion cultivation for a thousand years might be inferior to encountering a fortune during the journey to temper oneself.
At this moment, what Ye Chuan was missing was a lucky chance.
The experience and knowledge of his previous life was his greatest asset. As long as he had a lucky encounter, he could have a huge breakthrough in his cultivation without any problem.
A layer of blood-red light gradually appeared in the midst of the black light floating around the conch, then it became boiling hot.
Ye Chuan used the technique and seizing this chance, he dripped a few drops of essence blood, then spat out a mouthful of life yuan qi. After that, the conch trembled violently, signaling the successful refining of this treasure. Now, compared to before, there was a hint of red color in this black conch with many lines on the surface.
Every Weapon Refining Master would leave a unique mark on the treasures they refined, Ye Chuan was no exception. After grasping Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Secrets, this ancient cultivation technique he accidentally found in God Burial Valley, in the treasures he refined, he would leave behind blood-red lines as his unique mark. These lines were unique, and with his deeper understanding of this cultivation technique, his cultivation would rise and the lines would be more profound. Like that, it would be even harder for other people to erase his mark. In order words, even if he lost this conch and it landed in the hands of other people, it wouldn’t be easy to refine it.
Immediately after successfully refining this conch, majestic pure energy coming out of this conch entered the body of Ye Chuan from his fingertips.
Then, the energy fluctuation of Ye Chuan suddenly rose and another qi cyclone appeared in his dantian. This was the sign of new Heaven Swallowing Talisman condensing.
This majestic pure energy continuously poured into Ye Chuan’s body, and slowly, Ye Chuan trembled. Now, every inch of his muscles contained violent power. His skin, qi and blood rippled and his bones creaked as a demonic dragon phantom appeared behind Ye Chuan as if he was about to transform into a dragon and ascend to heaven. The sign of breaking through was getting clearer and clearer, unfortunately, after half an incense time, the energy coming from the conch gradually depleted and the trembling body of Ye Chuan also slowly simmered down. He was unable to make a breakthrough.
His cultivation realm was unchanged, still was rank 6 Daoist Master realm, and there was only ten Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his dantian with the addition of one new qi cyclone. But, he was unable to successfully condense a new Heaven Swallowing Talisman.
Unfortunately, this was still not enough!
The eyes of Ye Chuan blazed like torches. After examining the changes within his body, he felt it was a pity. He then rested for a while, and placing the conch in front of his mouth, he gently blew it, and the sound of conch traveled forward, spreading further away, piercing through this dense mist.
The world suddenly seemed to become still.
