Chapter 370 Seizing the Fragments of the Creation Furnace
Upon witnessing this scene, all the cultivators with cultivation levels above the Nascent Soul stage paled in shock.
Following suit, one by one, they all acted without reservation, each employing their own methods to strike swiftly.
"How stupid!"
"It's just a matter of life and death!"
Where do you think you can escape to?
"I'm going to capture you without mercy!"
"..."
Amidst the shouts, it was clear that several cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage and above were enraged.
Knowing full well that this seemingly insignificant alchemy furnace would be in dire straits if it entered the spatial rift.
Therefore, he spared no effort in this endeavor, and without hesitation, his target was the alchemy furnace.
"Oh!"
With a deafening roar, the Creation Furnace was destroyed by the combined attack of several Nascent Soul stage and above cultivators.
Just an arrow's throw away from the spatial rift, it was blasted into dust, like fireworks bursting and turning into countless fragments.
As for these fragments, only a few fell into the spatial rifts and passage gaps, while most were scattered and fell away.
However, at the instant the alchemy furnace was shattered, a phantom white shadow appeared and vanished in a flash.
However, what stunned these cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage and above even more was...
The person who clearly tried to enter the alchemy furnace and escape through a spatial rift has vanished without a trace.
Even if this person were to shatter along with the cauldron, their flesh and blood would inevitably fly everywhere.
Even if someone is severely injured and dies, several cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage or above have enough means to seize their soul within moments.
That is why, when suddenly faced with this cauldron, which burst into flames and shot into the sky, it crashed straight into the spatial rift.
Enraged, the group of cultivators showed no mercy and shattered the weapon with all their might.
After all, if there is even the slightest hesitation, and the alchemy furnace enters the spatial rift, then there will be real trouble.
Caught off guard, the cultivators, caught off guard and without time to think, decisively launched their attack.
Unexpectedly, by joining forces, they shattered the alchemy furnace, thus easily capturing this low-level cultivator who had attempted to fight to the death.
The result was that this low-level cultivator had vanished without a trace, as if he had disappeared into thin air.
"Rumble..."
Just as the cultivators were dumbfounded, this Dragon Soul Ruins secret realm could no longer be maintained and collapsed into nothingness.
"Whoosh!"
At that moment, amidst the whooshing sound, a conch the size of a grain of rice flew out from the gap in the dissipating passage.
Little did they know that Dao Yin, who had risked self-destruction to escape and transform into a wisp of divine soul, had already possessed this small conch shell.
At this moment, in the turbulent sky above the South China Sea, a group of cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage and above were shocked by the complete disappearance of Mo Hei.
They reacted swiftly and without hesitation, each employing their own methods to snatch the fragments of the alchemy furnace that had flown out of the passage's gap.
That old monster seemed to have truly reached the point of being frail and decrepit, standing on auspicious clouds, unmoved.
In reality, they took advantage of this gap to quietly and silently retrieve the tiny conch shell, no bigger than a grain of rice.
Just like a battle between masters, the struggle ends in a split second, in the blink of an eye.
Then, a middle-aged Nascent Soul cultivator, dressed in magnificent robes and addressed as Fellow Daoist Ling, asked indignantly:
"Fellow Daoist You Lizi's skillful empty-handed technique is truly exquisite. I wonder if you can discern anything special about this fragment of the alchemy furnace?"
After examining the fragments of the alchemy furnace he had snatched, You Lizi chuckled, put them away, and glanced sideways at the beautiful woman in palace attire, saying:
“I am afraid that you are blind. I am sure that Fairy Zixia from the Void Spirit Sect of the Immortal Realm has already recognized the value of this fragment.”
"Humph!"
Fairy Zixia snorted coldly, offering no reply. She put away the fragments of the alchemy furnace she had snatched and turned to Piaoxu, who was also from the Kongling Sect, to ask:
"Was this person truly once in Eagle's Sorrow Gorge, and had a close relationship with that wisp of dragon essence?"
Piaoxu nodded solemnly and replied respectfully:
"Reporting to Senior Sister Zixia, the first time I saw this fellow Daoist Mohei was indeed at Eagle Sorrow Gorge, where a wisp of Chilong essence was located."
Upon receiving this affirmative answer, the ox, leaning on its cane, frowned and said:
"If that's the case, then this young friend Mo must have hidden himself in the Dragon Pill Cave Heaven."
"Bang bang bang!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several figures emerged from beneath the turbulent sea. Fellow Daoist Ling couldn't help but ask:
"I wonder if the three of you managed to retrieve the fragments of that alchemy furnace?"
The three cultivators, who were already at the Nascent Soul stage, glared at each other and then dispersed without saying a word.
Seeing that Fellow Daoist Ling from the Moon Reflection Dynasty of the Immortal Spirit Realm had met with a major setback, another young cultivator, who had also failed to snatch Fairy Zixia, asked in a tactful tone:
"Fellow Daoist Yue Shan, could it be that you also failed?"
Before the elderly cultivator, who had a beard and was already at the Nascent Soul stage, could answer, another relatively younger, middle-aged cultivator, also at the Nascent Soul stage, said self-deprecatingly:
"It's true what they say: one monk carries water, two monks share the burden, but three monks have no water to drink."
Among the three, a female cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, who looked like a young girl in the prime of her life, asked with undisguised disappointment:
"Sister Zixia, what about you? Were you fortunate enough to win?"
Fairy Zixia did not deny it, and said calmly:
"I and You Lizi, the old Taoist from the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, each won a piece."
This young girl, already at the Nascent Soul stage, still retained her playful charm. She blinked her bright, beautiful eyes and playfully scolded the relatively younger cultivator:
"I've long heard that the young master of the Beiming Sect is deeply in love with Sister Zixia, and now it seems that this is indeed true."
The young Nascent Soul cultivator, despite being mocked and ridiculed, displayed considerable composure, shaking his folding fan and laughing:
“If it were you, Yanran, Ziming would have given in as well.”
The beautiful young woman, called Yanran, displaying a girlish spirit, rolled her eyes at the man called Yue Shan and the other Nascent Soul stage cultivator, gritting her teeth and saying hatefully:
"If these two could be as magnanimous and refined as Young Master Yue, and know how to cherish women, then how could we have ended up with three monks without water to drink? I'm afraid only a powerful cultivator at the Void Immortal stage or above could find this piece of alchemy furnace lost at the bottom of the sea, like finding a needle in a haystack."
The ever-steady Hanxiu, who had been standing by like a dog, interjected at this moment:
"From this perspective, the material of this dusty alchemy furnace is indeed quite special. Logically speaking, even the most ordinary alchemy furnace should have some residual spiritual energy fluctuations. However, this alchemy furnace is no different from ordinary mud and stone, which makes it blend into the crowd."
The elderly cultivator, addressed as Fellow Daoist Yue Shan, subconsciously stroked his beard and pondered for a moment before saying:
"If that weren't the case, how could the fighting over it have led to the loss of the item at the bottom of the sea and its irretrievable disappearance? Jiang Yueming, what do you say?"
When called by name, Jiang Yueming, the middle-aged cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage suppressed his anger, snorted coldly, and instead asked:
"Hmph! Yue Shan, why do you ask when you already know the answer? This alchemy furnace is clearly beyond our comprehension."
That fellow Daoist Ling said sullenly:
"However, the advantage lies in the fact that there are still two fragments of this alchemy furnace. Fortunately, Fairy Zixia and Fellow Daoist Youlizi have seized them. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain when powerful cultivators from the Immortal Realm arrive."
"I will personally hand over this fragment of the alchemy furnace to the Celestial Palace to atone for my sins."
After speaking calmly, Fairy Zixia glanced at the boundless, surging sea, her delicate brows furrowing slightly as she said:
"The most urgent task at present is to completely blockade the entire Tiannanhai area, which may be a way to salvage the situation after the fact."
You Lizi wholeheartedly agreed:
"Indeed, I hope that the reason why that young friend Yi Mo disappeared without a trace was because he entered the Dragon Pill Cave Heaven."
Seeing that the two were deliberately changing the subject, the remaining five Nascent Soul stage cultivators, as well as the old monster Anxiu, did not press the matter further.
Yue Ziming, who was known as the young master of the Beiming Sect, closed his folding fan and said with a worried expression:
"Even if this young friend Mo disappeared because he hid in the Dragon Pill Cave Heaven."
But how can we be sure now that this young friend Mo, who hid in the Dragon Pill Cave, was safe when the pill furnace was shattered?
Did it fall into a spatial rift, or was it left behind in the now-vanished Dragon Soul Ruins and never emerged?
Or perhaps they slipped through a crack in the passage and silently disappeared into the sea without our noticing?
The pretty young girl, known as Yanran, suddenly called out to a stunningly beautiful young woman who had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and asked:
"By the way, Xiao Daoyan, why did you send out a distress signal when you were at the Dragon Soul Ruins? Did you all encounter a life-or-death crisis?"
This woman, with her graceful figure, was clearly a much more mature and alluring young woman than Yanran.
Being openly addressed as "Little Daoyan" caused her to blush slightly, but she couldn't argue, so she could only lower her eyes and give a graceful bow in reply:
"In response to Aunt Nalan, it was because Daoyan and her fellow Daoists were trapped by the Candle Dragon Spirit Fire using the Li Fire Formation. At the same time, they were also being hunted down by the Chi Dragon Spirit in an attempt to silence them."
Then, he was bound by the sword net of that Mo-surname cultivator, making it difficult for him to escape. Meanwhile, the dragon spirit seized the opportunity to unleash the Dragon Soul Blood Curse…
"What did you say? Dragon Soul Blood Curse?"
Before he could finish speaking, the mature and composed Anxiu interrupted him in a trembling voice.
Dao Yan felt a deep sense of fear upon seeing the Anxiu, which had already reached the Nascent Soul stage. She instinctively shrank back behind her great-aunt and timidly said:
"I don't know for sure whether it's the Dragon Soul Blood Curse or not, but that's what the Chi Dragon Essence is called."
Furthermore, a Core Formation stage cultivator, in order to avoid being detected by the Dragon Soul Blood Curse, did not hesitate to self-destruct and escape from the sword net's restraints.
Then, at the urging of this fellow Daoist Ziying, a distress signal was also sent out.
"is it?"
After hearing this, the mythical beast pondered silently.
Then, Fellow Daoist Ling inquired for confirmation:
"Ziying, in your opinion, is that Dragon Soul Blood Curse truly similar to the description recorded in the library of my Yingyue Dynasty?"
Ziying nodded solemnly and respectfully cupped his hands, saying:
"Reporting to Master Lingyun, according to what Ziying saw with his own eyes, the Dragon Soul Blood Curse cast by that dragon spirit is exactly the same as described in the book. In particular, the dragon swimming inside the blood bead does not seem to be fake."
