The Jindan cultivator in the space attacked the black and smelly roots with all his strength, not wanting them to entangle him.
The black and smelly roots will explode when attacked, and each black and smelly root will produce a poisonous fog. As more and more black and smelly roots explode, more and more poisonous fog will be generated in the space.
The Jindan monks soon discovered that as they attacked, the poisonous mist exploding from the black and smelly roots had filled the space above the water.
No matter what method they used to dispel the poisonous fog, it had already filled the entire space and there was no way to dispel it.
The poison came into contact with the spiritual power shield, and the hissing sound was very obvious in the quiet space.
The spiritual power shield was being consumed at a very fast rate, and it seemed that the spiritual power shield would not last long, not to mention that there were still black and smelly roots extending out.
The first Jindan cultivator who was a little weaker was entangled by the black and smelly roots. The spiritual power shield on his body had not been completely consumed, but after the black and smelly roots entangled him, they suddenly became extremely tough and no longer exploded with one blow as before.
"No, save me!" The Jindan monk was dragged into the water with a scream, and the scream disappeared.
With the first one, there will be the second and the third.
These Jindan monks, who were considered the backbone of the immortal world, were unable to exert even one tenth of their strength in this environment, and were dragged into the water one by one by the black and smelly roots.
Great Elder Jing Geng looked at what was happening in the space, and he couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes.
He deceived everyone. He was able to give up Linghe Sect and Wuya Sect, and he had no intention of relying on these Jindan monks anymore.
Of course, the most important thing is that without the sacrifice of these Jindan monks, when waiting for the spiritual object to mature naturally, it would not be his turn to enjoy this opportunity.
What his master discovered back then was a crack in this space caused by an earthquake, and according to his research, this space is not ownerless.
Because this mountain has good spiritual energy, but there is no big monster coming to occupy it, which shows that this mountain originally has an owner, and its owner can intimidate the big monsters.
In addition, some isolation methods used by the spirit beasts can also be found on the four walls of the space.
This is something that only a fourth-grade spiritual beast can do, which means that this is most likely the private treasure land of a fourth-grade spiritual beast.
However, the treasures here are not mature yet. Only when they are mature will the fourth-grade spirit beast come to collect them.
After many years of research, his master and he found a way to use the lives of Jindan cultivators to replenish the energy needed by fourth-grade spiritual creatures, allowing them to mature earlier.
For this reason, his master and he had been working hard to train Jindan monks, and even established two medium-sized sects for this purpose, just to be able to produce more Jindan monks under the supervision of the large sect.
After falling into the water, the twenty-nine Jindan monks were pulled to the bottom of the water, and countless roots penetrated into their bodies.
Their bodies quickly shriveled up, and even the spiritual energy in their golden elixirs was being drained at an extremely fast rate. During the entire process, they were still alive, but they were unable to move due to the effects of the poison and the icy pool water.
They felt the results of hundreds of years of practice being stripped away bit by bit, and they were almost going crazy. They cursed Elder Jinggeng in their hearts.
They are extremely loyal to the sect and even risk their lives to become enemies with the Senluo Sect.
But what did they get? They were sent to this situation by Elder Jinggeng.
Soon after, they couldn't even think anymore. The monster in the strange pool not only absorbed all the energy in their bodies and golden elixirs, but also devoured their souls.
The water surface parted and a holy lotus emerged from the water.
“Who would have thought that this is a corpse lotus, rising above the mud but remaining unstained?” Great Elder Jing Geng stared at the lotus and muttered to himself.
Corpse Lotus is a lotus that grows in a corpse. The more powerful the corpse is, the more energy it contains even after death. Not to mention that if the corpse exists in a special environment for a long time, it will undergo abnormal changes.
This is like corpse refining, which is the sublimation of the original energy of the corpse, transforming it into another form of life.
However, with the presence of the Corpse Lotus, no matter how powerful a corpse is, even if it has the most suitable environment, it cannot be transformed into a refined corpse, because all the energy will be supplied to the growth of the Corpse Lotus.
The corpse lotus is like using a powerful corpse as fertilizer. All the energy produced by the powerful corpse will be consumed by the corpse lotus.
A fourth-grade corpse lotus. Even Great Elder Jing Geng could hardly imagine what kind of corpse could give birth to a fourth-grade corpse lotus.
But he didn't have the courage to investigate. Not to mention going into the pool of water, even coming into contact with the water was not something a practitioner like him could endure.
He was waiting, waiting for the corpse lotus to fully mature. That would be his chance to take action.
The life essence of twenty-nine Jindan monks was nurtured to provide the fourth-grade corpse lotus with sufficient energy.
In the center of the corpse lotus, tender lotus pods appeared.
The color of the lotus pod slowly changed from light yellow to gold, and then from gold to dark gold.
In a cave thousands of miles away from the belly of the mountain, a fourth-grade spirit beast with a wolf head and a humanoid figure opened its eyes with a look of doubt.
He felt a trace of energy, a precious thing that was closely related to him, and it seemed to have matured ahead of time.
This was several decades different from the time he had calculated. If he had not just made some small gains recently and was in the process of self-sorting out, he might have missed the opportunity for that thing to mature.
He flew out of the cave and turned into a stream of light flying in the air.
Except for a few alien species from heaven and earth, most of the fourth-grade spiritual beasts will choose to transform their bodies into human form due to their innate bloodline.
Because the human form is the form most recognized by the rules of heaven and earth, the effect of cultivation is best in this form, and it is also easiest to come into contact with the great way of heaven and earth.
This wolf-headed, humanoid fourth-grade spiritual beast is like this. It uses its wolf body to break through the shackles of life and race and achieve the fourth grade.
Whether in terms of talent or opportunity, he is truly a favorite of heaven and earth.
You should know that it is very difficult to reach the fourth grade among spiritual beasts. If it were not for the fact that the lifespan of spiritual beasts is much longer than that of humans, allowing them to have more time to practice, there would not be as many fourth-grade spiritual beasts as there are today.
The wolf-headed, humanoid fourth-grade spirit beast was thinking about the corpse lotus. It was a special corpse that he obtained by chance. The aura of the corpse was extremely terrifying, and even he could not look directly at it back then.
Wanting to make use of the corpse, he thought of using the corpse lotus. It happened that he got a lotus pod of the corpse lotus. Although it was only of the second grade, the special thing about the corpse lotus was that the grade of the corpse lotus itself was determined by the level of the corpse it absorbed.
This happened more than a thousand years ago. Once he devoured the corpse lotus, his strength would be greatly enhanced.
It is estimated that only spiritual beasts with long lives can do such a thing as growing spiritual medicines. For human cultivators, even the Nascent Soul ancestors only have a lifespan of a thousand years, and there is a high probability that they will not see the corpse lotus mature.
When Li Yuanba sensed that the auras of the Jindan monks were disappearing one by one, he continued to move forward from his hiding place.
He moved very carefully. In such a cold and gloomy environment, it had a beneficial effect on his corpse-refining state, which made him extremely hidden when moving.
Of course, there was also the fact that Great Elder Jing Geng focused all his attention on the changes in the space. Great Elder Jing Geng did not expect that there would be a cultivator who could sneak in.
Dong Wei, who stayed at the door, had a communication card that allowed him to contact Great Elder Jing Geng directly. At this distance, he could still make contact even if there was no communication formation covering the place.
If a cultivator really broke through the formation and entered, Great Elder Jing Geng would know about it in advance and be prepared.
It was precisely because of this that Elder Jinggeng's sense of what was behind him was greatly weakened, allowing Li Yuanba to approach stealthily.
Especially when he came near the gap, Li Yuanba discovered that there were a large number of formations here.
For other monks, this added a lot of trouble.
But for Li Yuanba, it brought him great convenience.
He took advantage of the formation's cover and its isolating effect to get closer to Great Elder Jinggeng's location.
He did not attack Great Elder Jing Geng. He was not sure he could handle the Great Elder's fighting power.
The original body, Li Shiming, is the Great Elder, and Li Yuanba naturally has a deeper understanding of the Great Elder.
Although Li Shiming is a great elder-level body refining golden elixir, it also reflects the specialness of the great elder.
Li Shiming's body refining strength has surpassed the Jindan stage in terms of level. It is between the Jindan stage and the Yuanying stage, and is approaching the edge of the Yuanying stage.
Therefore, theoretically, Great Elder Jinggeng has also reached the edge of the Nascent Soul stage through some form of cultivation technique.
If such an enemy cannot be killed in one blow, once he counterattacks, it will be absolutely fatal to Li Yuanba.
His body training was not perfect and had not reached the level of a great elder.
Even though his body refining was only slightly different from that of a great elder, it was this slight difference that made a world of difference between his body refining and that of a great elder.
His body refining is still in the Jindan stage, while the body refining of the great elder level is beyond the Jindan stage.
With the help of the formation, he moved to the top of Elder Jinggeng's head, where he could see the situation in that space through the gap.
Li Yuanba has the ability of "divine eyes", so he sees more clearly.
When he saw the lotus, and thought about the disappearance of the twenty-nine Jindan monks, he wondered whether Great Elder Jinggeng had sacrificed those Jindan monks by some means just for this lotus.
The lotus pod inside the corpse lotus grew bigger and bigger. The dark golden lotus pod and the petals next to it made the corpse lotus even more holy.
Suddenly, Li Yuanba's expression changed drastically. He received a warning from his original body, Li Shiming.
According to the images transmitted by the drone satellite system, a group of images that blurred the void were approaching here at an extremely fast speed.
Judging from the distance, it would only take a few breaths to arrive.
It was too late for Li Yuanba to escape. Only the Nascent Soul Patriarch could produce blurry images in the void.
Just think about the fact that this is a fourth-grade resource, so it is very likely that the owner of this place has come.
The master here saw him as a thief who wanted to steal the fourth-grade resources, so he would naturally kill him on sight.
At this time, the corpse lotus had completely matured. Elder Jing Geng was unaware of what was happening outside, so he opened the barrier of the formation at the gap.
A refreshing fragrance wafted over. Just by smelling the fragrance, Great Elder Jing Geng could feel the energy in his body surging. He had a feeling that as long as he swallowed the corpse lotus, he would be able to advance to the Nascent Soul stage.
He looked at the corpse lotus and felt an impatience in his heart.
He had paid so much for this corpse lotus, and today he finally got what he wanted.
He turned over and passed through the gap into the space, carefully taking out a jade box with space storage effect. This was a third-grade treasure specially prepared for the corpse lotus.
He didn't dare touch the pool water. He used his spiritual power to control the jade box to fly to the corpse lotus. A flying sword shot out and cut the lotus stem below the corpse lotus.
When the fourth-grade corpse lotus fell, it was caught by the open jade box.
Just as he took back the jade box, another white lotus appeared next to the jade box, which made him almost think that another corpse lotus had appeared.
But then a horrifying corpse appeared on the white lotus, grabbed the jade box, and the white lotus disappeared.
Great Elder Jing Geng was stunned. He had never expected that at the most critical moment, a cultivator would intervene and snatch the fourth-grade corpse lotus from him.
This is a fourth-grade corpse lotus, and it is his hope for advancement to the Nascent Soul stage.
It took the master and disciple more than six hundred years and countless efforts to obtain this fourth-grade corpse lotus.
Just now, when he smelled the fragrance of the fourth-grade corpse lotus, he had a feeling that he would break through at any time. If he really took the fourth-grade corpse lotus, he was very confident that he would be able to break through.
Elder Jing Geng was stunned for only a moment, and he quickly reacted. The level of the corpse refiner's skill was the 'Lotus Step by Step' of the Divine Foot.
'Lotus Blooms with Every Step' does not have the ability to break through the barrier, which means that the corpse is still in this space.
Before, this corpse had been hiding aside and had not been discovered by him, which shows that the corpse has extremely strong hiding skills.
His aura burst out, and the aura of a great elder enveloped the entire space. Of course, he could only cover the area above the water surface and could not affect the area below the water surface.
Even with his strength, he didn't dare come into contact with the water in the pool, as the cold and gloomy power in the water was extremely harmful to him.
"No, how could there be no?" he shouted angrily.
He didn't understand. It was clearly 'Lotus Blooms with Every Step', and he was standing at the gap, blocking it. How could the corpse possibly use 'Lotus Blooms with Every Step' to leave this space?
He drove the flying sword in disbelief, sweeping back and forth in the space.
Even if the corpse refiner really has special means of hiding, it will not be able to avoid the indiscriminate sweeping by flying swords and magic weapons.
"Yes..." At this moment, Great Elder Jing Geng received a message from Dong Wei. He had been in contact with Dong Wei.
But that was it. Dong Wei only said one word and then fell silent.
The hairs on Great Elder Jing Geng's body stood up and an extreme fear rose in his heart. This was an instinctive feeling from his body.
His face changed drastically and he no longer cared about the Fourth-Rank Corpse Lotus. He took out a golden talisman from the storage space and activated it without any reluctance.
