The hall fell silent, and the fall of a Yuan Dan Realm powerhouse was a huge loss for any family.

Although Gu Nian is only an elder of Keqing, after all, he has been in the Ma family for more than ten years, and everyone regards him as a member of the Ma family.

Ma Zhitian's face turned pale, and he said in a deep voice: "Arrange for Duan Libo and Xue Han to act together with Lu Qizhen." ”

"Do we need to send anyone else besides the three of them?" Ma Zhihai asked with a frown.

Ma Zhitian waved his hand and said, "No, if the three of them can't kill the two little beasts, then we have to make another plan." Since the Jiang family is on the boat, they also have to exert some strength.

"What's more, now that Li Yaolong is missing, and the Li family's mansion is empty, it means that they have already made arrangements. Except for Elder Keqing, our own Yuan Dan Realm powerhouse, it is best not to act rashly. ”

Hearing this, the other three nodded their heads.

"Shall I inform the Jiang family now?" Ma Zhishan asked.

Ma Zhitian pondered for a moment and said lightly: "Let's take a look at the situation first and give the three of them some time." If it doesn't work, come back, and then notify the Jiang family to act together. ”

In his opinion, it was impossible for Li Yuan and Li Yunqing to kill Gu Nian, and it was most likely that they met a strong man who was looking for treasure near the Qingzhai Mountain Range, and there was some kind of conflict.

………

In the mountains five hundred miles east of Yangyan City, under a cliff, there is a cave nearly a foot high.

There are many rocks of different sizes piled up at the entrance of the cave, and there is an engraved lock empty array composed of three yuan patterns, and there are more than 30 zhang deep in the cave.

In the depths of the mountains, there are many caves of this size, all of which have been inhabited by large demon beasts.

This cave has not been inhabited by monsters for a long time.

In the cave, Li Yunqing looked at Li Yuan, who was very weak, she was also a lot haggard, hating herself for not being able to help a little, so she could only ask anxiously in a low voice: "Xiao Yuanzi, is there any change in the Death Source Seal now?" Why do you look so much weaker than before? What's wrong with you? Does the injury on my arm still hurt? ”

"I'm fine." Li Yuan shook his head slightly and responded softly.

"Spirit, what does it need me to do now? Is it safe here? Li Yunqing raised his eyes and looked at the small building floating next to him.

"You can't help, he has a spirit pattern and can handle it. I inscribed a three-dimensional pattern lock sky array at the entrance of the cave, which is safe for the time being, and they can't track it down. ”

"Xiao Yuanzi, has there been any change in that bone in your body? Can it really solve the Death Source Seal? Li Yunqing looked at Li Yuan and continued to ask.

Li Yuan touched his eyebrows: "You can rest assured." ”

"Xiao Yuanzi, Ling, don't lie to me, the Spirit Pattern Devouring Bone can really solve it?" Although Li Yunqing believes in spirit, Li Yuan's cultivation is too low after all, the other party is a strong person in the Yuan Dan realm, and the things that have been transformed by the Yuan Dan who have cultivated all his life are so easy to dissolve.

"Of course." Spirit affirmed, "Maybe this thing will do him a lot of good." ”

"What's the benefit?" Li Yuan's godless eyes suddenly flashed with essence.

"You have to feel it yourself, there are spirit patterns that devour your bones, and you can't die. If you don't have enough understanding and can't understand it thoroughly, I'm afraid you will have to suffer a lot. The spirit said calmly.

"Ah......" Li Yuan.

Li Yunqing asked, "Ling, how long does it take for Xiao Yuanzi to dissolve the Death Source Seal?" ”

Ling thought for a moment and said lightly, "How do I know." ”

"Ah......" Li Yunqing was stunned, his mouth open.

"It could be a month, it could be three months, it could be a year and a half." Ling said casually.

It seems that this thing will not be solved in a while, Li Yuan put it down, trying to figure out the question in his heart: "That's right." In the contract duel, I took a blow from Ma Zhitian's old thing, and I was seriously injured.

"It will take months to heal, but with my cooperation with the Compound Dan, it will be almost good in a few hours. And when the injury was repaired at the beginning, the Spirit Pattern Life Devouring Bone exuded a very strong vitality. What's going on? ”

"Uh...... That's ......" Ling pondered for a long time before explaining, "The devouring power of the Thunder Bone is too strong, and your previous cultivation has plummeted, and your longevity has been lost, which is also the reason. But the devouring power you have endured is too small, and the real devouring power can devour all things in heaven and earth, and kill you in an instant.

"However, the half-cut bone I put in your body is too strong in its own vitality to suppress the devouring power of the thunder bone. When the Spirit Devouring Bone in your body slowly grows up, and you have easier control over the Devouring Power, you will know how strong the vitality of this bone is when you cultivate to reach the Yuan Shen Realm or Nirvana Realm, as long as it is not too seriously injured, you can recover instantly. ”

"The power of devouring comes from the Thunder Swallowing Bone, and the Thunder Pattern should be formed by the interaction between the Thunder Swallowing Bone and the Ten Thousand Pattern Bone, right?" Li Yuan asked again.

"Hmm. Thunder Pattern is the ability to inherit the Ten Thousand Pattern Bone, and after accumulating strength, it can instantly burst out with a power far beyond its own cultivation. Spirit explained.

"You said that my bone absorbs a lot of bones, so what bone does this vigorous vitality come from?" Li Yuan asked again.

"Uh...... Life...... Bone. The spirit spouted.

"Ah, you have eaten all your bones? Is your half of the Linglong bone so powerful? Li Yuan exclaimed, "That's not right...... You don't mean ......"

Ling said impatiently, "With so many problems, your top priority is to solve the Death Source Seal. ”

"Okay, okay, don't ask me questions. Ask my aunt, it's always okay. Li Yuan hurriedly said.

"What's wrong with Qing'er?" Xiao Lou circled around Li Yunqing and asked.

Sighing weakly, Li Yuan said softly, "Didn't you notice that your little aunt's cultivation has improved?" ”

"Huh...... Stepping into the peak of the late stage of the Void Realm? Ling was stunned for a moment, "What happened?" ”

Seeing Li Yuan's weak appearance, Li Yunqing recounted their experiences during the Ling's sleep.

"It's good that you came down in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. The Hanhai Ice Wind Bone can withstand the infusion of heaven and earth energy, but Qing'er's current body can't stand it. ”

Between the words, the spirit revealed a trace of fear.

"Isn't it that little aunt, when you go to the sky, you can quickly improve your cultivation?" Li Yuan hurriedly asked.

Ling said lightly: "It's beautiful to think about." The first time Qing'er went to the clouds, that kind of environment, under the influence of the power of heaven and earth, unlocked part of the seal of the Hanhai Ice Wind Bone, and accepted the infusion of heaven and earth energy, which was a benefit of the seal itself, and the same environment could only be received once.

"While you're dealing with the Death Source Seal, Qing'er also needs to consolidate her skyrocketing cultivation, and it's too frivolous now. There shouldn't be much going on during this time, I'll mostly fall asleep, only waking up when the lock at the entrance of the cave needs to be repaired. Okay, I slept. ”

"Wait, how to solve Xiao Yuanzi's death source seal. Is he the only one who feels it? You have to tell me where to start. Is there no other way? Li Yunqing hurriedly asked.

After pondering for a moment, he said some ways and some other ways.

If you want to solve the Death Source Seal, the most important thing is to find out the origin of the Death Source Seal first.

Moreover, if the Death Source Seal Origin had always existed, the Yuan Dan Realm powerhouse who was familiar with him would look for it according to this wisp of aura.

However, there is no need to worry about this, the Lock Void Array engraved by the Spirit Inscription can isolate the breath of the Death Source Seal Origin.

Compared with the caster's low cultivation, the Death Source Seal is extremely damaging and difficult to resolve.

If it is a fellow practitioner, although it has influence, it cannot threaten life.

If the cultivator is stronger than the caster, it can be easily dissolved and has no effect.

Although Gu Nian was only in the early stage of the Yuan Dan Realm, if Li Yuan could not unlock the Death Source Seal he cast, he could only find a strong person in the Nirvana Realm, which should be able to help resolve it.

It's so easy to find a Nirvana Realm powerhouse, even if you find it, people may not be able to help.

What's more, in the entire Yangyan City, they had only heard of Qiu Hongtu of the Qiu family, a Nirvana Realm, the divine dragon saw the head and the tail, disappeared for many years, and the family patriarch did not know his whereabouts.

Whether it has fallen or not is unknown.

If he were still alive, he would be about 170 years old by now.

The place where the powerhouses of the Nirvana Realm gathered was naturally Xiayang City, the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty.

To get from their location to Xiayang City, they need to travel through two states and a distance of tens of thousands of miles. Even if you take a giant winged bird, it can take a month.

Li Yuan's body can't drag on for that long, and far water can't save near fire.

Gu Nian was only a cultivator in the early stage of the Yuan Dan Realm, and the Death Source Seal he cast was not very powerful, and it was not as terrifying as he imagined.

The Death Source Seal is extremely lifeless, and it may really be impossible for others to dissolve. But for Li Yuan, who had a spirit pattern life-devouring bone, it was not a disadvantage, but a creation that Gu Nian gave him.

………

In the next few days, Li Yuan had been feeling the Death Source Seal, and gradually gained a certain understanding of it.

It's just that his current cultivation level is too low, and if he wants to solve it completely, it is estimated that it will take at least a year or so.

The moment he was just hit before, he couldn't use any Yuan Force in his whole body, and he felt like he was about to die.

The Death Source Seal is Gu Nian's Yuan Dan, which contains Gu Nian's lifelong cultivation, if it is refined, it will be of great help to the improvement of cultivation.

The skin of Li Yuan's whole body was eroded by the black dead air, getting darker and darker, and the black spots on the center of his eyebrows also seemed to spread, and the whole person was filled with wisps of dead air.

Black dead air eats away at life.

He could clearly feel the death qi in his body, if it weren't for the vigorous vitality released by the Spirit Pattern Life Devouring Bone, I am afraid he would have fallen.

Black dead qi wrapped around almost every bone and bone of his body, every meridian, spreading through his limbs and bones, and wandering in every drop of blood.

Li Yuan felt that the Death Source Seal was almost enlightened, so he settled down, sat cross-legged, formed a cultivation mudra with both hands, ran Pei Yuan Gong, and controlled the power of the Spirit Pattern Devouring Bone.

With the operation of the exercises, the Yuan Force in the Qi Pool in the body, which was suppressed by the dead qi, began to become active.

A trace of blue-silver arc began to swim around the black spot in the center of the eyebrows, and the arc was not only powerful, but also exuded a trace of vigorous vitality.

He didn't have the devouring power to urge the Spirit Pattern to devour the life-devouring bones, and in his current state, if he didn't control it well, I was afraid that there would be unimaginable consequences.

The blue-silver arc has been wandering around the dark spot on the center of the eyebrows, sometimes close and sometimes far away.

As time passed, the vitality contained in the arc became stronger and stronger, adding a little cyan, turning into blue, silver and blue, luring the origin of the black spot, but the arc did not dare to get too close.

More than a month passed quietly.

Li Yuan's skin was darker than before, and there was no sign of improvement.

Another half moon passed, and his face was sometimes hideous, sometimes vicious, and extremely painful. But the vitality in the blue, silver and blue arc that wandered in the center of the eyebrows became more and more vigorous.

Suddenly, a very thin black line, like a black earthworm, squirmed out of the black spot on the center of the eyebrows, and headed towards the blue, silver, and blue arc not far away.

When the wriggling black line is completely detached from the black spot, the three-color arc suddenly riots, instantly wrapping the small black line.

At this moment, Li Yuan, who had been in pain, hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, and said secretly in his heart: "I finally caught you." ”

This very thin black line is the origin of the Death Source Seal.

The moment it was wrapped in the blue, silver and blue arc, the small black line immediately turned into an extremely small black dot, beating wildly in the arc.

No matter how the small black dot moves, it will never be able to break out of the arc circle.

With each impact of the arc, the small black dots shrink a little.

Gradually, the black dot gets smaller and smaller, and finally it dissolves into nothingness, and the arc disappears.

Li Yuan let out a long breath of turbid breath and slowly opened his eyes.

The moment he opened his eyes, his dark hands really startled him.

Pull up the sleeves, the arm is also black, but the place where Gu Nian hit the arm, the wound several inches long has already healed, smooth as jade.

He couldn't help but sigh secretly: "The death qi in the Death Source Seal is really powerful. ”

"Xiao Yuanzi, how do you feel? Is it a little better? In the past two months, your skin has become darker and darker, and I dare not disturb you. During this time, the spirit woke up several times and mended the lock void array. I asked her and she said there was nothing wrong with her, but I was still a little worried. ”

Li Yunqing looked at Li Yuan, who was staring at his dark arm, and his nervous heart relaxed a little.

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, touched his head, and was a little confused: "It's been two months?" Fortunately, the original source of the Death Source Seal was completely solved, but the Death Source Seal was not resolved at all.

"After adjusting for a while, I began to refine the Death Source Seal, hoping to improve some of my cultivation."

"Xiao Yuanzi, can this thing really refine and improve cultivation?" Li Yunqing had some scruples in his heart.

"I don't know." Li Yuan shook his head, "Only by trying it will you know that the spirit should not deceive us." I just don't know how much Gu Nianyuandan's Death Source Seal can improve his cultivation.

"Next, I'm going to start refining the Death Source Seal. It is estimated that it will take a lot of time. In order to solve the experience of the source of death, the most critical at the beginning, should not be disturbed, and it is estimated that it should be stable in two months. When the time comes, you can let the spirit remove the lock from the cave entrance. You don't have to be trapped in the cave all the time. ”

"I'm nothing, just a steady cultivation." Li Yunqing smiled, "You concentrate on refining the Death Source Seal. ”

She has always been worried about the death source seal on Li Yuan's body, and it would be good if she could solve it.

There may have been no one who could refine the Death Source Seal before, but they didn't meet Li Yuan.

He possessed a powerful Spirit Pattern Life Devouring Bone, which provided vigorous vitality and had no problem refining a Death Source Seal planted in the early stage of the Yuan Dan Realm.

After Li Yuan adjusted for a period of time, he was going to refine and remove the black dead qi all over his body first, and then refine the black spots on his eyebrows.

As Ling said, the black death qi can indeed be refined by him, and the dark skin is gradually reduced, and the cultivation is slowly improving.

Time slips like sand on your fingertips.

Another two months have passed, and Li Yuanzhou's skin has basically returned to normal.

After refining the black death qi around his body, he successfully broke through to the late stage of the Void Realm.

He didn't immediately start refining the dark spots on his eyebrows, but prepared to adjust for a while, it was a tough battle.

"Except for the dark spots in the center of the eyebrows, the skin around the body is normal."

As soon as Li Yuan withdrew from the cultivation state, Li Yunqing pulled his sleeve open to check, and then smiled and muttered to himself.

Suddenly, she sensed the aura on Li Yuan's body, and said excitedly: "Xiao Yuanzi, have you broken through?" Late stage of the Void ...... It seems that the Death Source Seal can really be refined by you, and it can also improve your cultivation. ”

The black dead qi that covered his body, Li Yuan refined it for two months.

By refining the Death Source Seal, Li Yuan also gained a deeper understanding of it.

I'm afraid that there are not a few people in the world who can refine the Death Source Seal. Not all elements can get infinite vitality.

Normally, other Yuan Masters could only ask a strong person who was one realm higher than the Yuan cultivator who cast the Death Source Seal to help resolve it.

Otherwise, the source seal of death will definitely die, it is just a matter of time.

Gu Nian only had the early stage cultivation of the Yuan Dan Realm, and if the cultivation was higher, Li Yuan would not be able to solve it.

Now the black spot at the center of his eyebrows, he didn't dare to refine it easily, after all, that was the key.

Li Yunqing stared at the dark spot in Li Yuanmei's heart, and said in surprise: "Xiao Yuanzi, I had dark skin before, and I couldn't see the dark spot in the center of my eyebrows very clearly.

"It seems to be a circle of circles, and the circles slowly spread outward, and it is difficult to detect without careful observation."

"Really? It shouldn't be. Li Yuan looked suspicious, and then speculated, "With what I know about it now, he should be following no rules." It is estimated that Gu Nian has not really comprehended the Death Source Seal, and he never thought that he would come to the day when he will cast the Death Source Seal. This thing has to be removed as soon as possible, and I can't seem to release it with it. ”

After resting for a few days, Li Yuan began to refine the black spots on his eyebrows.

He ran Pei Yuan Gong and slowly came into contact with the black circles that spread out of the black spots.

Suddenly, the quieter dark spot squirmed.

"Oh no, the dark spots look like they're about to explode, and the dead air contained in them is too heavy. Resisting the onslaught of bursting dead air, I have to suffer a lot. ”

Li Yuan's heart froze, his body tensed, and the black spot's ability to devour life was too fierce, and he immediately stopped contact with the black circles.

At this moment, he broke out in a cold sweat, and his whole body was soaked.

Not long after the refining stopped, the dark spots that had been transformed by the Death Source Seal calmed down.

If Li Yuan's cultivation had reached the Yuan Dan realm now, refining the black spots would be easy.

Now it is only in the late stage of stepping into the Void Realm, and if he is not careful, the dead qi in the black spot may quickly spread all over his body, wrapping his entire body from the inside out, and frantically devouring life.

Li Yuan and the others were completely stabilized, and only then did they run Pei Yuan Gong again.

This time, when he ran Pei Yuan Gong to refine the black spots, he was quite cautious and only touched the outside of the black circles.

Now it is a duel between the ability to refine Pei Yuan Gong and the ability of the Death Source to seal and eat life.

He was not as reckless as before, but slowly probed, and the dark spots did not show the same signs of bursting as before.

Slowly, I don't know how long it took, the outermost black circle pattern finally turned into nothingness and was completely refined.

"It worked!"

Li Yuan was overjoyed in his heart and said secretly.

Having settled his mind, he didn't rush to continue refining, and waited until the black circles inside spread to a certain distance, and then he touched the outside of the black circles and began to refine.

While refining, he felt the energy contained in the black circles, and the nervous expression on his face slowly soothed, vaguely revealing a hint of joy.

Although the black spot is extremely dangerous to other Yuan people, and they may lose their lives for it, for Li Yuan, it is a creation.

Li Yuan continued to carefully run Pei Yuan Gong, running on the outside of the black circle pattern, without touching the inside of the circle pattern, refining and absorbing it little by little for his own use.

When the black circles are refined to a certain extent, new circles appear on the periphery of the black spots.

He could clearly feel the Yuan Force in his body increasing little by little, and the Wang Qi Pool was constantly shrinking under the blessing of the majestic Yuan Force.

When the Yuan enters the Void Realm, the qi pool in the body will continue to shrink.

When one reaches a spiritual point, one advances to the next level.

The smaller the qi pool shrinks, the more majestic the Yuan force in the Yuan person's body becomes, and the time spent in the air will also increase.

"I really have to thank Gu Nian. Unexpectedly, before he died, he gave me a big gift. Li Yuan muttered to himself in his heart.

While the dark spots on the center of his eyebrows were being refined by him little by little, his cultivation was also constantly improving.

The last bit of the Black Spot of the Death Source Seal was finally refined by Li Yuan, and he took this opportunity to reach the peak of the late stage of the Void Realm.

After reconfirming that there was no trace of the death source seal in all parts of his body inside and outside his body, there was no death qi in his limbs, and then he slowly withdrew from his cultivation state.

As soon as he opened his eyes, Li Yunqing's wonderful figure met his eyes.

"Xiao Yuanzi, have you refined all the Death Source Seals?" Although Li Yunqing saw the dark spots on Li Yuan's eyebrows disappear, he still confirmed to Li Yuan.

"Yes, it's all refined." Li Yuan nodded and said with a smile.

Li Yunqing smiled and said, "You have also broken through to the peak of the late stage of the Void Realm?" ”

"Hmm" Li Yuan bowed his head, and then showed a stunned expression, "Little aunt, your breath?" ”

"Giggles." Li Yunqing pouted and smiled faintly, "You can see it." I vaguely felt the limit of the contraction of the qi pool in my body, and there were signs of loosening of that barrier.

"Originally, I thought that it would take a few years to break through to the consummation of the virtual realm, but now it seems that at this rate, it will take another year to break through to the consummation of the virtual realm."

Li Yuan touched his chin, pondered for a while, and wondered, "Feel the barrier loosen so quickly?" ”

"During your refining of the Death Source Seal, I worked hard to suppress frivolous cultivation. It is estimated that it was suppressed too fiercely, so that it was infinitely close to the barrier in the late stage of the Void Realm. Li Yunqingyu put her hand in her hair and recalled.

"It's only been a few days, and there are signs of a breakthrough?" Li Yuanmo rubbed his chin.

Li Yunqing pretended to be angry: "It doesn't take many days to refine this black spot, and you sit here motionless for nearly half a year. You know how worried I am? Ever since the spirit was removed from the Void Lock, he sometimes had to face the demon beasts that occasionally appeared nearby. ”

In the past few months, because he was worried about Li Yuan, Li Yunqing did not cultivate much. It wasn't until the skin on Li Yuan's body returned to normal that he spent his mind on cultivation.

Hearing this, Li Yuan smiled awkwardly, he didn't expect that it would take so much time to refine the black spots.

The dark spots were solved and the cultivation was improved, so Li Yuan decided to go to a nearby town and rest for a few days.

From here, the nearest is Bianyang Town.
