Chapter 9: The Evil Emperor Ancient Jade
Yang Hao stood anxiously by the small lake, the breath of the red green lion behind him was getting closer and closer, and the earth was shaken by a huge roar.
At the last moment, Yang Hao plunged headlong into the small lake, and the icy water made him tremble. Ordinary people can hold their breath in the water for about a minute, and Yang Hao has reached the level of an intermediate martial artist, and he can only barely hold on for five minutes.
After about three minutes, the breath of the red green lion gradually faded away, Yang Hao was about to swim out of the small lake, at this time, a faint red light emitted from the bottom of the lake, Yang Hao felt very surprised, and dived towards the bottom of the lake emitted by the red light.
Yang Hao was sure that the thing in front of him was a piece of nameless jade, but he didn't have time to think about it, he was about to lose his breath, and immediately desperately swam upstream, swam out of the small lake, and came to the shore of the lake.
The peaks around the lake are now covered in a thin white coat, and there are still snowflakes floating in the sky from time to time.
After resting by the small lake for a quarter of an hour, Yang Hao regained his vitality, and the nameless jade in his hand made him feel very curious, judging from the material, this is an ordinary piece of jade, which looks very ordinary.
However, thinking of the faint red light emitted by this jade just now, Yang Hao was a little puzzled, thinking that this jade must have an unknown secret.
Upon closer inspection, Yang Hao found that there was a small hole at one end of the jade, so he took out a thin rope he carried with him and tied the nameless jade around his neck.
A very faint mysterious aura emanated from the nameless jade, making Yang Hao feel comfortable for a while, but this faint aura quickly disappeared.
Yang Hao put away his mind, left the small lake, and walked in the opposite direction from the previous escape, he didn't want to run into the vicious green lion again.
Yang Hao quickened his pace and walked in a snow-white forest, walking about a hundred meters away, and the footprints of fierce beasts appeared again in the snow, which were the same as the green lions he had seen before.
Yang Hao had an ominous premonition, it was impossible for there to be only one blood-red green lion in the depths of this mountain!
And at this moment, an unusually strong aura approached Yang Hao.
"It's a blood-red green lion again!
Yang Hao was shocked, a blood-red green lion almost killed him, and now there are a few of them at once, he will definitely die!
Sure enough, five blood-red green lions approached him from five directions, surrounding him and making it impossible to escape.
"Looks like I'm going to die here today!"
Yang Hao felt extremely desperate, at this moment his desire to live was stronger than ever, and the scenes of the past appeared in front of him one after another, and they flashed away.
Yang Hao couldn't think too much, a blood-red green lion in front of him took the lead, and pounced on him with teeth and claws, and the deafening huge roar made him feel trembling from the depths of his soul!
The green lion rushed towards Yang Hao like lightning, Yang Hao reacted extremely quickly, stood on the ground with both feet, and fell backwards with his whole body, and when his body was about to fall to the ground, he slapped the ground with one hand and stood up again.
At this time, Yang Hao only felt a sharp pain in his chest, blood was dripping, and the nameless ancient jade was also dyed red.
Immediately afterwards, another green lion behind Yang Hao attacked Yang Hao, Yang Hao jumped up, his body was two meters off the ground, but he was slammed by the three-meter-high green lion giant body and flew more than ten meters away.
Yang Hao felt that his entire body was about to fall apart, and before he could catch his breath, five blood-red green lions attacked at the same time.
Yang Hao knew that his life was at the last moment, and death came to him without hesitation.
And at this moment, the nameless ancient jade that was stained with Yang Hao's blood had a sense, and suddenly emitted a sharp red light, and the vast heaven and earth vitality gathered towards the ancient jade, and the five blood red green lions were directly emptied of the vitality in their bodies and turned into five dried corpses!
Seeing this scene, Yang Hao's entire soul trembled, and a seemingly ordinary piece of ancient jade turned five blood-red green lions comparable to those of a primary realm cultivator of the Qi Gathering Realm into dried corpses in an instant, which was simply too shocking!
Only then did Yang Hao realize that the most dangerous thing was not the blood-red green lion, but the nameless ancient jade on his neck, and immediately threw it in the snow, preparing to flee from here.
After running out dozens of meters away, Yang Hao seemed to understand something, the Nameless Ancient Jade was frantically absorbing the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, even the five Blood Red Green Lions could not be spared, but he was unscathed, does this mean that the Nameless Ancient Jade was not harmful to him!
"Well, anyway, it just saved my life, so I'll wear it!"
Yang Hao returned to pick up the nameless ancient jade and put it around his neck, the nameless ancient jade had regained its calm, and it was no different from ordinary jade.
Yang Hao quickly left the snow and forest, walked towards the outside of the mountain, and returned home, it was already sunset.
For the next month or so, Yang Hao did not go into the depths of Nanping Mountain to hunt again, and only hunted some ordinary prey on the periphery.
The holiday passed quickly, and Yang Hao and the five returned to Wumeng Academy.
At the beginning of the new year, everything recovers, and the mangrove forest in the mountain behind Wumeng Academy is full of flowers and aura, and it is of great benefit to practice martial arts here.
Sitting in the mangrove forest, feeling the dense aura of heaven and earth here, Yang Hao felt that his whole body was very relaxed, he was very longing for the world of cultivators, and powerful cultivators could destroy gold and broken stones with a single gesture!
Yang Hao was familiar with "Miscellaneous Talks on Cultivating Truth" and knew that if a martial artist wants to enter the ranks of cultivators, the first and most important thing is to open the dantian, and the dantian can gather true qi!
The dantian is something that everyone is born with, but it is closed, and after the cultivation process of the martial artist, the dantian can be opened, this process is very long, and it generally takes ten years for ordinary people, but there are also talented people who open the dantian in a short period of time, but this is a minority after all.
Yang Hao sat quietly in the flowers, feeling the vitality of heaven and earth with his heart, as time passed, he faintly felt that there was a faint aura of heaven and earth entering his body from the pores of his body, although these aura was very weak, Yang Hao still felt ecstatic!
With his current level of intermediate martial arts, he was barely able to absorb the faint heaven and earth aura, and these weak heaven and earth aura subtly changed his physique.
The nameless ancient jade on Yang Hao's chest began to move, like a bottomless pit, greedily and frantically extracting the surrounding heaven and earth vitality, until the hundred flowers began to wither and the surrounding aura became thin, and the nameless ancient jade stopped.
Yang Hao shook his head helplessly, the nameless ancient jade the size of a thumb in front of him was unscrupulously absorbing the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, what kind of earth-shattering secret did he have?
Yang Hao didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse to wear such a nameless ancient jade of unknown origin on his body, but the so-called misfortune and blessing relied on, and fortune and misfortune lurked, who could say for sure. It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, thinking of this, Yang Hao was relieved.
Yang Hao returned to the academy and walked straight towards the library, where he showed the library administrator an armband issued by the academy, which was the proof that he had become an intermediate martial artist.
Because he had reached the level of an intermediate martial artist, Yang Hao was allowed to enter the second floor of the library to read the classics, and what shocked Yang Hao was that the books on the second floor of the library room were vast, the martial arts classics practiced by various intermediate martial artists, and some more detailed records about the world of cultivators.
For Yang Hao, it is inevitable to memorize the moves and formulas of various intermediate martial arts, and in his spare time, he will also read the narrative about Xiuzhen.
"Yang Hao, congratulations on reaching the level of an intermediate martial artist, I'm not wrong, you are really talented!"
Yang Hao didn't know when Teacher Qin would appear behind him, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, is this the strength of a cultivator? If you want to take his life, it's easy to do it.
"Teacher Qin, thank you for always taking care of me, I will make progress!" Yang Hao turned around and said slightly.
"Don't be modest, okay, don't delay you from flipping through the books!"
"Huh......" Teacher Qin was about to turn around, when he was suddenly attracted by the nameless ancient jade on Yang Hao's neck and stopped.
Seeing Teacher Qin looking at the nameless ancient jade on his chest with great curiosity, Yang Hao knew that with Teacher Qin's cultivation and knowledge, he must have heard of it.
"Where did you get this thing?" Teacher Qin's face was a little shocked and a little flustered, for a cultivator who has achieved cultivation, this shouldn't be!
"Teacher Qin, is there any origin of this nameless jade?"
"When I was in the sect, I once flipped through an ancient classic, which recorded that in the ancient times of the Chiyan Continent, a madman in the cultivation realm accidentally entered the demon path in the process of cultivation and became the leader of the demon path forces on the mainland. ”
"It was a dark era, the good and the evil launched a fierce battle, both sides suffered heavy casualties, and finally under the total strangulation of the five major sects of the righteous path, the madman was finally eliminated, but when he was about to scatter, he poured his life's cultivation into a piece of ancient jade, and then he turned into ashes, and the ancient jade that was injected with the madman's peerless cultivation was called the evil emperor ancient jade by the world!"
"The Evil Emperor Ancient Jade was sealed by the top masters of the five major sects, but then he disappeared, and the Evil Emperor Ancient Jade was scattered in the world, and today, more than five thousand years have passed, I didn't expect you to get him by chance, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse!"
After listening to Teacher Qin's narration, Yang Hao suddenly realized that he didn't expect this ancient jade to have such an unknown past.
"Then Teacher Qin, shouldn't I take this jade for myself? After all, this is an evil thing!" Yang Hao said hurriedly.
"Although this jade is an evil thing, since you have already obtained it, it means that this is your great opportunity!" Teacher Qin said.
"But since ancient times, good and evil have not been separated, I ......," Yang Hao said.
"The word good and evil are inseparable, what is good and what is evil?"
