Chapter 1561 Seven Evil Valley
As soon as he finished speaking, the mysterious man in black robe suddenly opened his robe, revealing a handsome face that looked to be about twenty years old, very young, and was no less handsome than Xiao Lin.
The strangest thing is its pair of eyes, one is azure blue and the other is scarlet red, as if they can see through people's minds and make people feel a chill from the bottom of their hearts.
Everyone was also shocked by his appearance, especially the woman who came later. When she saw the young man's eyes, she couldn't help but exclaimed, "Apostate?"
Hearing the word "heretic", even Xiao Lin was stunned, not understanding the meaning of these three words.
Hearing this, the young man also revealed a bitter smile and said, "Apostate, this name has made many people who are determined to create a path of cultivation carry a heavy burden from then on. We are just practitioners of law and martial arts, but since the birth of immortal warriors, no one has been able to perfectly integrate law and martial arts to become a true immortal warrior. The so-called immortal warriors now are at best martial arts practitioners, and cannot be considered immortal warriors at all. It is only because we cannot break through the barrier of law and martial arts, thus producing this pair of red-blue divine pupils, that we are given the title of apostates. This is too unfair."
Upon hearing this, Fairy Bian was silent for a moment, and then said, "Apostates, as the name suggests, are heretics, and are not tolerated by the Immortal Martial Arts World or the Immortal Cultivation World, so they become the targets of the two worlds' joint pursuit. It's no wonder that fellow Taoist covers himself with a black robe. We are all casual cultivators, so naturally we will not become the so-called protectors of the way. In fact, no matter whether you are an Immortal Martial Arts or an Immortal Cultivator, in the final analysis, they all want to capture you and force you to practice both the Fa and the Martial Arts, because they know that once someone can break the Fa and the Martial Arts barrier, his combat power will undergo earth-shaking changes, and at that time it will have a huge subversive effect on both the Immortal Martial Arts World and the Immortal Cultivation World. This is also the fundamental reason why they want to kill the apostates."
"Fellow Daoist, are you looking for the Nine Dragon Stone in order to break through the barrier of magic and martial arts?" The white-faced man next to him looked at the young man and asked, with a gleam in his eyes, showing that he was in great trouble.
"The Nine Dragon Stone is not the key to my breakthrough of the barrier of magic and martial arts, but the Nine Qi Abyss that gave birth to the Nine Dragon Stone. To be honest, I went to look for the Nine Dragon Stone, but it was not the ultimate goal. I wanted to impact the barrier of magic and martial arts through the Nine Qi Abyss, so that the two seas could merge into one, and there would be no difference between them. I am not sure about this, but instead of living a life like a rat crossing the street, I still want to give it a try."
"Daoyou, why are you doing this? Dongxian Continent is just a part of the spiritual world, which is vast and boundless. If it doesn't work out, the worst that can happen is that you can leave Dongxian Continent. Why bother trying to break through the barrier of magic and martial arts? You should know that this is the legendary realm of immortals, which is not something that we mortals can reach." The fairy Bian seemed to be moved by the young man's persistence and said this.
"I have accepted this mission, and naturally I have opened my heart to you all. As the saying goes, if your heart is not sincere, you can't do anything. I have only come up with an idea after hundreds of years of research. This time I am going to the place where the Nine Dragon Stone is located just to verify it. If it is impossible, then I will give up. As long as I can get the Nine Dragon Stone, at least I can leave this continent, just like Fairy Bian said."
After hearing what he said, everyone finally understood the young man's purpose. They admired him but also sighed in admiration.
Even Xiao Lin's eyes were filled with reverence when he looked at the young man. The barrier between magic and martial arts, this term Xiao Lin had also seen in the ancient secret books in the Mitian Palace. It was a higher-level power that was formed by completely integrating the power of blood and spirit with the magic power of immortals. It not only had the ability to move mountains and split seas, but could also drive magic tools and exert the power to destroy the world. In other words, it completely broke the boundary between magic and martial arts and became a true immortal warrior.
But Xiao Lin also learned from the secret book that the barrier between magic and martial arts is not as simple as one plus one equals two. Combining his current realm of immortal martial arts, Xiao Lin can roughly judge that in order to truly break the barrier between magic and martial arts, he needs to combine the sea of blood and the sea of qi into one, turning them into a source of blood and qi. No matter whether it is pure magic power or the power of blood and qi, they can all be accommodated in it, allowing the cultivator to not only drive various magical instruments, but also rely on the strength of the physical body to exert various tremendous magical powers.
When combined, the combat power of the cultivator will be increased several times, and it is not as simple as one plus one equals two. Just like Xiao Lin practicing the Holy Scale Burning Heaven Technique, in the process of using magic tools to fight with the enemy, he can also rely on his strong body to attack at close range, which will not only make the opponent unable to cope, but also distract the opponent, causing a loophole in the driving magic tool, giving him an opportunity to take advantage.
But Xiao Lin's weakness is that the Holy Scale Burning Heaven Technique relies on the power of qi and blood, and the magic weapon is driven by the mana in the dantian. Although immortal cultivators can do two things at the same time, they cannot achieve perfect fusion. What's more, the storage capacity of qi and blood is limited. Once a strong attack is unfavorable, the qi and blood will soon be exhausted. It is not as good as the mana in the dantian qi sea, which is endless. As long as the mana is not exhausted, it is not impossible to fight for several months.
Although Xiao Lin, who practiced immortal martial arts, knew this, he did not dare to try to combine magic and martial arts. Because it was just as Fairy Bian said, there was a legend among the cultivators in the spiritual world, and even among ordinary cultivators, that magic and martial arts could not coexist, so they attributed it to the realm of immortals.
It also emphasizes that the integration of law and military power is impossible to achieve.
The reason why the young man in front of him had strange pupils was that he tried to forcefully integrate the immortal martial arts he practiced with the magic power in his dantian. After failing, he showed a state of being possessed by a demon.
Moreover, according to legend, after the failure of the unity of magic and martial arts, the Qi and blood power in the cultivator's body will gradually repel the magic power in the Dantian. After a long time, he will go astray again. At that time, the Qi and blood power as well as the magic power will rush into the sea of consciousness, causing the cultivator to become mentally confused, furious and murderous, and become a demon who only knows how to kill. This is why such people are called heretics.
"Okay, let me introduce myself first. My surname is Ye, and my given name is Dan. I have told you the whole story, even at the cost of revealing my identity as a heretic. You all want to use the cross-domain teleportation array of Dongling Immortal City. We have the same goal, so we must find the Nine Dragon Stone. Of course, if you change your mind and don't want to be with a heretic like me, you can leave now. I will never force you to stay."
"I have come here this time to obtain the Immortal Order and to go to the Golden Light Region. Now that I am here, I will naturally not give up. I am willing to follow Fellow Daoist Ye." Bian Hongxia was the first to express her opinion.
"My name is Bai Huahao. I was born in the Cuiming Mountains and I am a casual cultivator."
"I am Bi Feihuan, born in the Xiayu Mountain Range, and I am also a casual cultivator."
"I am Shannon, born in a small sect. It is a shame to say that my sect was destroyed. This time, in order to obtain the Immortal Order, I went to the Golden Light Region to escape the disaster."
"Xiao Lin was born in the Northern Sky Region. By chance, he came to the Eastern Immortal Continent and went to the Golden Light Region in order to return to his homeland." Xiao Lin also spoke.
When they heard this, they were all slightly stunned, especially Bian Hongxia, who showed a thoughtful expression, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. But in the end, she said nothing, but the change in her expression fell into Xiao Lin's eyes.
"Thank you all. Since no one is planning to quit, shall we set off?" Ye Dan put on his black robe again, covering his entire body, and then spoke.
The reason why he put on the black robe again was that he didn't want to cause trouble. Apostates are punishable by everyone, and walking around the city might lead to harassment from those who fight against demons and defend the faith.
Xiao Lin and the others also knew the reason, and followed Ye Dan, all of them spread out their escape lights and flew towards the distance.
Looking at the direction Ye Dan was flying in front, it was towards the Xianwu Mountains. This made Xiao Lin feel helpless. He had originally wanted to stay away from the disputes between the Xianwu world and the immortal cultivation world, but now it seems that he is afraid that he cannot avoid it.
However, with their realm, there are few people in this Eastern Immortal Continent who can stop them. Unless the leaders of the three supreme immortal martial arts sects and several Mahayana-level old antiques in the Eastern Spiritual Immortal Sect personally take action, they may be able to pose a threat to them.
However, right now, these top figures must be in charge of the sect, issuing orders to go to war, so they would not pay attention to them.
The Valley of Seven Evils.
Located at the junction of the Xianwu Mountains and the Dongling Prairie, it is a stretch of undulating canyons. Above one of the canyons, there is a gray mist. Outside this canyon, the skeletons of various martial beasts can be seen everywhere.
This canyon is the Seven Evil Valley that makes countless cultivators change color at the mention of it.
According to rumors, no matter how high your realm or how strong your magical powers are, as long as you enter the Seven Evils Valley, you will never be heard from again. For tens of thousands of years, no one has entered it and escaped unscathed.
When they learned that they were heading to the Seven Evil Valley, everyone except Xiao Lin showed surprised expressions.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, the Seven Evils Valley is a place that ghosts and gods fear. Could it be that the Nine Dragon Stone we are looking for is in the valley?" Bai Huahao said with a glimmer of fear in his eyes.
Although he was a cultivator in the middle stage of the Tribulation Crossing, he had long heard of the name of the Seven Evils Valley. He even knew a cultivator in the early stage of the Tribulation Crossing who had once entered the Seven Evils Valley, but had not been heard from since. In his opinion, there was a high probability that he had died there.
This shows that the Seven Evils Valley is an extremely dangerous place even for cultivators in the Tribulation Crossing Stage.
"I heard that a large number of immortal warriors and cultivators have died in this Seven Evil Valley, and even a cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage has died there." Bian Hongxia also echoed with fear on her pretty face.
"Everyone, don't worry. Now that everyone has come here, I am sure we can get in." Ye Dan's voice was full of confidence.
Xiao Lin looked in the direction of the Seven Evil Valley and was secretly surprised. It turned out that during the time he was in the void of the universe, he had seen a lot of strange and bizarre innate powers. He could tell at a glance that the Seven Evil Valley contained several kinds of innate evil spirits. Several kinds of innate evil spirits were integrated together. It looked like a gray fog, but in fact it possessed an extremely strong cold and corrosive power.
Just as Bian Hongxia said, even a cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage would not be able to stay for long under the evil spirit in the Seven Evil Valley, because the evil spirit in it could easily enter the body through the acupoints throughout the body of the cultivator, and then corrode the meridians throughout the body and freeze the magic power. Once the magic power of the cultivator was frozen by the cold air, he would be completely dead within an hour. Even the primordial spirit would instantly melt under these innate evil spirits.
Xiao Lin was also a little puzzled. Innate power rarely appeared in the spiritual world, so why did it gather in the Seven Evil Valley?
A flash of inspiration emerged in Xiao Lin's mind.
"Could it be?" Xiao Lin thought of a possibility, and became more and more convinced that the rare Nine Dragon Stone, a treasure from heaven and earth, might really be in this Seven Evils Valley.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, you'd better explain it clearly. This Seven Evil Valley is very serious. If you rashly enter it, you will actually be seeking death. I have just advanced to the Tribulation Crossing Stage, and my life span has increased greatly. I don't want to lose my life just like that. If fellow Daoist doesn't explain the method of entering in advance, I will leave directly."
"I feel the same way." After pondering for a moment, Bi Feihuan expressed his opinion.
Xiao Lin and the other three did not comment, but they all looked at Ye Dan, obviously wanting to see his attitude.
Ye Dan fell silent after hearing this. After a moment, he lifted up his black robe, revealing his strange eyes: "In fact, it doesn't hurt to tell you in advance. What Ye relies on is actually a magical pill."
After he finished speaking, a flash of light appeared on his hand, and a red jade bottle appeared. The moment he opened the bottle cap, a warm fragrance filled the air.
"Red Sun Pill?"
"Yes, it is the Red Sun Pill. In addition, Ye also bought a topographic map of the Seven Evil Valley at a high price at an underground auction. Our destination this time is the evil cave in the Seven Evil Valley. As long as we hold a Red Sun Pill in our mouth, it will be enough for us to enter the evil cave. As long as we enter the evil cave, the evil spirit inside will no longer exist, and we don't need to worry about the evil spirit entering our bodies."
"How did Fellow Daoist Ye know that there is no evil spirit in the evil cave? If the information is wrong, or the judgment is wrong, wouldn't we die unjustly? Besides, almost everyone knows that the evil spirit of the Seven Evil Valley comes from the evil cave at the bottom of the valley."
"I can guarantee this with my life. Inside the evil cave, there is actually a kind of innate evil force. The innate evil is the source of evil energy, but it does not have the cold and corrosive power of evil energy. Instead, it is very gentle. Unless it encounters acquired power, the innate evil energy will erupt. Therefore, as long as we can enter the evil cave, we will be safe."
As soon as Ye Dan said this, the scene suddenly became quiet.
The innate Yuansha is the origin of evil spirit. The types of evil spirits integrated into it are also complicated and confusing. It is an innate force that exists in the void of the universe. Once the innate Yuansha touches the acquired power, it will release all kinds of innate evil spirits in it, erode the acquired power, and burst out with terrible power.
The several Tribulation Crossing cultivators present were all aware of this, especially Xiao Lin, who knew well the terrifying power of innate strength.
