"Don't burn it."

"Ouch, if you keep burning it, it will really melt."

Zi Yang screamed in agony. Ever since his Nascent Soul had become like this, its defensive power had been greatly reduced. Although this flame had not yet reached the point of completely melting him, the pain was no less.

“Nascent Soul!”

When Shen Lian sensed the thing jumping out of the alchemy furnace, he was immediately frightened. The moment his mind reacted, his body had already turned around and ran dozens of feet away.

I really think I have made it big enough that I even dare to burn my Nascent Soul.

Running away, detonating, the series of actions were as smooth as flowing water.

“Boom!”

The next moment, the earth shook.

At the moment the earthquake occurred, Shen Lian had already drilled deep into the earth. His sea of ​​consciousness and dantian sea were all mobilized, and he surrounded himself with defensive magic weapons.

Boom! The flames in the cave where the alchemy furnace was placed shot straight into the sky, and the rolling red fire mushroom cloud could be seen clearly for hundreds of miles.

In the roiling red, the alchemy furnace was rushed up to the sky by the violent energy, and melted into molten iron in the air and scattered in all directions.

“Sizzle.”

“It’s melted!”

In the blazing flames, half of Zi Yang's illusory body made a sizzling sound under the impact of the fire, and the remaining half of his body, which was full of holes, was also emitting sparks.

The fire was raging, and the earth and rocks turned into magma. Zi Yang ignored the fact that half of his body was on fire and headed towards the direction where Shen Lian escaped.

"Don't run, I mean no harm."

Zi Yang ran while waving his hands to pat the fire on his body, shouting breathlessly.

"Let's have a discussion."

"Do you think I can still hurt you now?"

…

Shen Lian, who had been fleeing far away, had also reacted at this moment. The Nascent Soul that appeared in front of him probably didn't have much strength, otherwise it wouldn't have been able to hide like this.

Otherwise, if he was so angry, how could he be so friendly?

Either it is really fake, or it is just pretending.

There was no way. My instinct had already surpassed my consciousness, and I subconsciously ran away and exploded.

Besides, who wouldn’t be afraid when encountering a Nascent Soul?

Even if it is a half-crippled Nascent Soul without a physical body, it is still a Nascent Soul.

It’s not shameful to be afraid of Yuanying.

This guy is hiding so deeply, he must be up to something bad, and he might even be planning to take over his body.

After fleeing all the way back to the original cave, Shen Lian picked up Dahei and Erwan and prepared to escape.

"You've been running for months, aren't you tired?"

Just as Shen Lian was preparing to escape, he heard a slightly panting sound in his ears.

Suddenly, he stopped moving.

The cave was protected by a formation, and when he went out he would fall in front of the Nascent Soul.

Fortunately, I had kept a trick up my sleeve and did not start refining directly in the original cave. This cave has ten formations stacked up, which can provide temporary defense.

"I am Ziyang."

"Um."

Shen Lian was shocked when these words came out.

"Ziyang!"

In an instant, he thought of the Five Elements Mountain that he had thrown away.

Oh no, the old guy actually came to my door.

That's not right either.

But Shen Lian reacted immediately. Zi Yang was hidden in the iron hairpin on Yun Lan's body. He brought Zi Yang back after he submerged Yun Lan's body. This shows that Zi Yang did not notice the problem with the Five Elements Mountain.

It really scared him.

But how did Yunlan and Ziyang get together?

One's golden elixir foundation was destroyed, and the other was left with only a crippled infant. I have to say they are such a perfect match.

"That's right, it's the Ziyang who was rumored to have been beaten nine times in three years and whose physical body was shattered, leaving only his Nascent Soul."

Seeing the look of horror in Shen Lian's eyes, Zi Yang jumped lightly in the air and put his hands behind his back. However, his current size and appearance were not very impressive.

"My dear friend, I see that you have extraordinary bones. That loser Yunlan is far inferior to you."

"He wasn't as cautious as you, so he deserved to die."

"Senior Wanan."

Inside the formation, Shen Lian came back to his senses and clasped his hands together. He had not expected that such a scene would occur when he encountered a Nascent Soul for the first time.

Not only is he a famous Yuanying who is well-known in the areas near the South China Sea, but he is also involved with him.

He had heard this name in Wanxing Sea before and was so frightened by it that he even threw away the magic weapon he had obtained.

That being said, Shen Lian had no intention of leaving the formation.

This was the first time he encountered a Yuanying, and it was an old fellow who had been famous for a long time, so he had no relevant experience.

Even in his perception, the Nascent Soul outside the formation was weak and looked like it would be blown away by a gust of wind.

Just wait and see.

The energy that just exploded spread over an area of ​​hundreds of miles. If any cultivator nearby could sense it, he would definitely be attracted over here. If he could attract a Jindan cultivator, he might take the opportunity to escape.

"My friend, you are a cultivator with five spiritual roots, right? How about I give you a chance?"

Zi Yang glanced at the wilderness around him. He knew how big the commotion just now was. In his current state, he really couldn't withstand too much trouble.

What's more, it just happened again.

Who could have thought that this little... little friend in front of him would be so skillful. He was blown to death as soon as he jumped out of the iron hairpin.

"Don't rush to refuse. Just listen to what I have to say first."

The corners of Patriarch Zi Yang's mouth trembled, and the sound transmissions instantly fell into Shen Lian's perception. In just a few breaths, he sensed a lot of information.

"Back then, I created a magical tool embryo that was suitable for cultivators with five spiritual roots."

"It uses five-colored stones. Do you know what five-colored stones are?"

“…”

"Now this five-colored stone magic weapon is lost in the open sea."

"That kid Yunlan has captured enough five-spiritual-root cultivators. As long as we take out their golden cores and build a five-element inversion tracking formation, we can locate the whereabouts of that magic weapon."

“…”

Shen Lian digested the news from Zi Yang, his mind was in turmoil, he felt absurd, this matter...

I knew that this old guy Zi Yang had some tricks up his sleeve. Back then, Pei Huoyu was really just his pawn.

No, even Bian Qingyun.

Of course, none of this matters.

It turns out that the reason why Yun Lan captured the cultivators with five spiritual roots was because he wanted to find the magical tools made from five-colored stones.

But the problem is that the magic weapon made of five-colored stones was thrown into the abyss of the sea by him.

For a moment, Shen Lian felt that it was not unfair at all that he was trapped in the vast sea secret realm.

If he hadn't thrown the magic weapon too deep, Zi Yang and Yun Lan wouldn't have had to put in so much effort.

Now the real owner of the Five Elements Magical Artifact was standing in front of him and talking to him incessantly about giving him the Five Elements Magical Artifact. This scene was a bit unbearable.

"My friend, the five-colored stone is the most suitable magical tool for cultivators with five spiritual roots. It can be continuously transformed into magical tools and spiritual treasures."

Zi Yang spoke, wanting to impress Shen Lian with the magic weapon made of five-colored stones.

He had experienced Shen Lian's fighting methods and tactics inside and outside the secret realm from Yun Lan.

Compared with Shen Lian, Yun Lan's partner is simply too bad. He doesn't have as much potential as Shen Lian in front of him.

He was only at the initial stage of the Golden Core Realm, but he was able to fool dozens of cultivators ranging from the initial stage to the perfect stage of the Golden Core Realm. Don't even mention that the formation he used was an external force.

Only incompetent people bark.

After leaving the secret realm, he even defeated Yun Lan with his own fighting power. Even though Yun Lan's golden elixir foundation was injured and he was not in peak condition, he was still comparable to ordinary golden elixir great perfection cultivators.

Such means and strength.

Thinking about it, Zi Yang felt a little excited.

Could it be that God saw that he had been displaced and beaten badly in two lifetimes, and finally brought him good fortune?

You must pick up the small golden pill in front of you.

If this continues, Shen Lian will probably have combat power comparable to that of a Nascent Soul without even having to advance to the Nascent Soul stage. What if he advances to the Nascent Soul stage in the future?

Wow, Zi Yang’s good days are just around the corner.

"If you don't believe me, I can swear an oath to the heavens that every word I say is true."

As Zi Yang's Nascent Soul spoke, he put two fingers together and began to mutter to the sky.

"My dear friend, I do have selfish motives, but these motives do not conflict with my own."

"Although I only have half of my Nascent Soul left, my cultivation in these two lives totals more than three thousand years. I have a lot of experience in cultivation and a lot of secret methods and techniques."

"I was the one who told Yun Lan about the method of repairing his golden elixir foundation."

"Also, I have achieved the Nascent Soul stage in both of my past lives, and I did not use any Nascent Soul Pills in my second life. I can give you all the Nascent Soul experience I have gained."

When talking about Yunlan, Ziyang didn't show any abnormality. A dead partner is worse than dog shit. Besides, he didn't think highly of Yunlan's ability. Staying together with Yunlan could only be a stopgap measure.

To tell how he got involved with Yun Lan, we have to start with his good disciple Bian Qingyun.

During his second life of cultivation, he accepted several disciples in succession, but only Bian Qingyun lived the longest.

Zi Yang also knew that his disciples had been following him and being hunted down every day, so their intentions had long since become impure, but he didn't care.

Anyway, accepting disciples is also for his final plan.

When everything was ready, he split his Nascent Soul into two, with half remaining in his body, continuing to attract attention from the outside world.

Another part of the Nascent Soul had already hidden in the disciple's Dantian.

The reason why he wanted to give up half of his Nascent Soul as an attraction was mainly because in order to collect the spiritual objects used in his plan over the years, he had offended almost all the major Nascent Soul sects in the Southern Continent.

To this day, there are still people chasing him. If he doesn't give away something, he won't be able to stop the pursuit, which will have a great impact on his subsequent plans.

If everything had gone well, his good disciple Bian Qingyun would have found the escaped stone farmer in the outer sea of ​​Wanxing, and then snatched back the five-colored stones that had been made into magic weapons.

But unexpectedly, Bian Qingyun was so disappointing. Not only did he fail to find the Five Elements magic weapon, he was also captured by the Yunshang Sect.

It was Yun Lan who went to Wanxing Sea to capture Bian Qingyun. Yun Lan used this skill to exchange for a fourth-level purple sun warm jade. He tried to break through to the Nascent Soul stage but failed, and his Golden Core foundation was damaged.

Taking advantage of this time, Zi Yang found Yun Lan in Yunshang Sect.

Although there were some minor twists and turns in the process, the Yunshang Sect's Patriarch Mo Long was in seclusion and the remaining Jindan Zhenren did not notice his existence.

After seeing the method of replenishing the elixir that he took out, Yun Lan, whose foundation of Taoism was damaged, left the sect and went to the Black Cliff Immortal City. He announced to the outside world that he was being punished and began to make secret arrangements.

At the beginning, his plan for Yun Lan was to repair the golden elixir first.

If the fetus is successfully formed, one should immediately start the process of taking over another body, so as to avoid insufficient lifespan to cultivate to a higher level.

If everything goes well, Yunlan succeeds in taking over the body and successfully forms a baby, then in this process, Ziyang will merge with the Five Elements Magical Instrument and become the spirit of the Five Elements Magical Instrument.

A cultivator can only take over another's body once, and he is currently in his second life. Moreover, his lifespan in these two lives combined is more than three thousand years, and he doesn't have much time left now.

Only by finding another way and not following the path of the human race can one have the possibility to continue practicing.

Therefore, Ziyang's second path is to transform into a magic weapon spirit. As long as the magic weapon continues to be upgraded, he can practice to a higher level step by step.

Of course, the premise is that Yun Lan can succeed. If not, he will choose someone else.

After all, his life span is limited. If he cannot transform into an artifact spirit before his life span runs out, he will never have another chance.

As someone who has witnessed Shen Lian’s actions, Zi Yang now can’t wait to rush forward.

Come, I will be your spirit.

Let's go hand in hand and conquer the world.

…

Inside the formation, Shen Lian was in a daze.

Old man Zi Yang actually wants to become a weapon spirit.

Yes, I should become his spirit and go hand in hand with him to bravely embark on the path of cultivating immortals.

This is too exaggerated.

According to Zi Yang, he came from Lingxi Immortal Realm, which was located right next to the northeast of Tiannan Immortal Realm, a place that was as big and powerful as Tiannan Immortal Realm.

"You said you are in your second life now?"

After digesting Zi Yang's words, Shen Lian asked suddenly.

"That's right, otherwise I wouldn't want to follow the path of weapon spirits."

Zi Yang nodded, "My dear friend, if we work together, we will both benefit. I have experience in cultivating to the Nascent Soul stage. After I transform into a weapon spirit, I can still help you fight in the future."

Zi Yang's words would be very attractive to any other cultivator, but for Shen Lian, it cannot be said that there is no attraction, but it can be said that it is not very attractive.

Moreover, old guys like Zi Yang only care about interests, and can abandon anyone, whether it is his disciples or partners, at will.

Even though his own disciple was captured by Yunlan and died in Yunshang Sect, he still flirted with Yunlan.

Now that Yunlan is dead, she has fallen in love with him directly.

It sounds good to say that the spirit of the weapon will work together to cultivate immortality, but if the weapon becomes weaker at that time, Zi Yang will definitely turn against them.

He is definitely a rebellious person.

But if you don't agree...

Shen Lian thought about it quickly. Even though the Nascent Soul in front of him looked so weak, he was still not sure he could kill him.

He currently knows nothing about the magic of the Nascent Soul.

Now that I think about it, the previous method of escaping far away is no longer feasible.

He brought Zi Yang all the way to Wanshan Territory and also entered the cave in his own Five Elements Ship. He might have discovered other secrets.

Just to be safe.

We must find a way to kill him.

Moreover, even if he wanted to leave now, Zi Yang would not let him go.

Knowing each other's secrets, you can either kill each other or live happily together.

Thinking of this, Shen Lian cupped his hands and said, "It is my honor that the senior thinks highly of me."

"However, my recent spiritual practice has reached a bottleneck. I wonder if you have a suitable spiritual method."

"I have a Tiandu Yanshen method. Practicing this method will greatly improve your divine consciousness."

As he spoke, the corners of Zi Yang's mouth twitched, and Shen Lian sensed the corresponding method of cultivation, but this method only had the first two levels and could only be cultivated to the foundation-building level.

Zi Yang didn’t say anything later, but the meaning was very clear.

The little Nascent Soul even blinked at him.

"My friend..."
