Chapter 127: Forbidden Technique "Hidden Dragon Emerges from the Abyss"
"It's not easy for Mu Tianhao to form a core," Yang Jiuli murmured.
Although the Mu family had a profound foundation, its status plummeted after the loss of its Core Formation Ancestor.
The Yun and Murong families secretly sabotaged Mu Tianhao's efforts to collect the spiritual items needed for Core Formation.
In fact, in the early years of the Mu family, some of their most promising talents were killed by rogue cultivators, their deaths remaining shrouded in mystery.
Although Mu Tianhao was exceptionally talented, he was not considered outstanding among his peers in the Mu family. His ability to form a core was truly a testament to his great perseverance.
"It seems that the Azure Flame Immortal Sect's influence was involved in this attack on Yunmeng Lake by various races..." Yang Jiuli pondered.
The Li family belonged to the Mu family.
If Li Hongtai successfully forms his core, the Mu clan will have one more core-forming ancestor.
In this way, the balance of the Azure Flame Immortal Sect will be broken, and the Yun Clan and the Murong Clan will certainly not want to see such a situation.
However, because the Mu family had a Core Formation Ancestor, the others in the Azure Flame Immortal Sect couldn't go too far.
That's why we have the current scene of these Foundation Establishment forces attacking Yunmeng Lake.
Firstly, it cut off the Li family's source of income, thereby preventing Li Hongtai from raising spiritual objects for Core Formation.
Secondly, the crisis that Li is in could also disrupt Li Hongtai's mindset, causing him to fail in his Core Formation.
This conclusion is drawn by Yang Jiuli after living several lifetimes and experiencing the lives of countless cultivators.
"Let's take a look at Li Menghu..." Then, Yang Jiuli activated the talisman seed in Li Menghu with a thought.
He chanted a spell.
The Three Lives Stone shone with a blazing light, and the long river of time emerged.
Li Menghu's spirit was condensed.
Yang Jiuli injected a wisp of his divine consciousness into the talisman mark between Li Menghu's eyebrows.
Suddenly, the world spun around.
Yang Jiuli's mind was drawn to the Li family of Yunmeng Lake.
He transformed into Li Menghu, observing his entire life...
Li Menghu's memories, her understanding of magic, and everything she gained in her life were all taken into Yang Jiuli's control.
……
"Li Menghu is also a remarkable person. If he hadn't sent the Li family's Foundation Establishment seed to the Azure Flame Immortal Sect, the Li family wouldn't have reached its current prosperity. However, he focused too much energy on his family and failed to broaden his horizons outside. Even with his extraordinary talent, he still failed to form his core!" Yang Jiuli murmured. To form a core, one needs not only talent but also relevant experience.
Li clearly lacked experience in forming a golden core.
Although the Azure Flame Immortal Sect possesses this knowledge, it will not easily divulge it to outsiders.
It's extremely difficult for ordinary clan cultivators to form their core.
Only with great fortune can one break through the shackles and embark on the path to Core Formation.
After a sigh, Yang Jiuli continued to activate the rune seeds on the other two Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Li clan.
Activation symbol.
For Yang Jiuli, observing the life of the person who received the talisman also brought great benefits.
He essentially spent one or two hundred years rebuilding his life.
In this way, there will be no more bottlenecks for him on the path of cultivation at the same level.
With just a little learning of various spells and cultivation techniques, he could quickly rise to the level of a talisman-bearer in this world.
For example, the many formations controlled by Li Fengyue.
With a little learning, Yang Jiuli could gradually refine it in this life.
……
At this moment, on Earth Flame Island.
The protective light shield that once enveloped Earth Flame Island is now gradually dimming.
Inside the battle formation.
In front of the main control center, Li Changyan coughed up blood, his cross-legged body staggered, and he was about to fall backward.
"Great-grandfather..." Li Feiyu immediately stepped forward, squatted down, and helped Li Changyan up.
Li Yourong, who was standing next to her, immediately stepped forward as well.
"Don't worry about me, focus all your energy on controlling the formation!" Li Changyan waved his hand and said as Li Yourong was about to step forward.
Li Yourong frowned slightly, then stopped and returned to her position, continuing to channel her magic power into the array platform in front of her.
"The Third Elder is seriously injured, and Xian Shao is gone? Why hasn't he reached the Foundation Establishment stage yet?" A member of the Li clan looked towards the cultivation room at the edge.
Immediately, many people looked over.
Now only Li Qufeng remains at the Foundation Establishment stage.
The formation will surely be broken soon.
At that time, even if the Fu family came to help, it would be of no use!
Beside the vast array hall.
A meditation room.
Li Xianzheng was drawing upon the spirit-gathering array to condense his magical power.
Nearby, a surge of powerful metal-elemental spiritual energy flowed into the spiritual root above his dantian.
A sound like the clanging of swords and the thunder of horses resounded within him.
The clanging sounds continued.
Like metal clashing.
That was an unusual phenomenon that occurred when metal-based magic was compressed into liquid.
At this moment, the magical power within his body had been compressed into liquid, which meant he was already at the half-step Foundation Establishment stage!
Once he condenses the "Human Flower," he can use its magical power to bridge the gap between his spiritual root and dantian in one fell swoop.
In this way, one can establish a foundation for immortality and enter the Foundation Establishment Realm.
However, Li Xian showed no signs of condensing the "human flower" for a long time.
"If I were to establish my foundation now..." Li Xian looked at the jade box in front of him.
Inside is a Foundation Building Pill with a single pattern.
But he did not take it.
Clearly, he did not want to establish his foundation at this time.
Because Li Xian understood that at this point, there was only a 10% chance of him succeeding in establishing his foundation.
If he fails to establish his foundation, the scattered magical power will damage his meridians and spiritual roots, and he will never have any hope of establishing his foundation again in this life.
But if he doesn't build his foundation, once the formation is broken, not only will he not be able to build his foundation, but he might even lose his life here.
So when his magical power had accumulated enough, Li Xian looked at the jade box in front of him, his brows furrowed, hesitant and uncertain.
"What should we do? Take the 'Foundation Building Pill'... or wait a little longer?" Li Xian murmured, his brows furrowed.
Just now, Li Chengzhi failed in his foundation building, and Li Xian also sensed something.
It left a considerable shadow in his heart.
I've long since lost faith.
boom!
However, at that moment, a muffled sound rang out.
Above Earth Flame Island, the protective light shield shattered suddenly.
However, the three brothers of Kuang Guang worked together to activate the "Black Gold Mountain Seal" and smashed it down, directly shattering the protective array of Earth Flame Island.
boom!
A vast surge of magical power rippled outwards.
The great array of light on Earth Flame Island shattered like a mirror, and a vast amount of magical power swept towards the island.
The mountains trembled.
The building collapsed.
The chamber trembled under the impact of this force, triggering its own defensive light shield.
However, this defensive shield was too weak, and it shattered violently after only a moment of resistance.
A powerful surge of magical energy crashed towards the main hall of the array chamber like a raging wave.
At this moment, inside the array chamber, many of the Li clan's cultivators were mentally injured and coughed up blood.
Especially the Second Elder, Li Qufeng, who coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground.
"The formation... is broken!" Li Yourong had blood at the corner of her mouth. She looked up, her brows furrowed.
"This..." Li Feiyu, who was supporting Li Changyan, also felt a pang of heartache, and a look of panic appeared in her eyes.
But then, a giant seal appeared high in the sky, crashing down towards the array chamber.
boom!
The deafening roar shook the heavens.
The array chamber was smashed and collapsed.
Gravel fell.
Li Yourong and the others immediately used talismans to create a "Golden Bell Shield" for protection.
Li Feiyu led Li Changyan and retreated at top speed.
Li Yourong summoned a talisman, which transformed into a light shield to block the falling beams and pillars.
In the blink of an eye, all the members of the Li clan in the array area flew back to one side.
"Haha, all the core members of the Li family are here!" High in the sky, figures flickered as Kuang Liming looked down.
He spotted Li Changyan immediately.
Li Changyan's heart skipped a beat, and a trace of fear appeared on his face. Then, his face turned resolute as he looked at his great-grandson who was supporting him and said, "Feiyu, you must escape quickly..." As he spoke, he moved his hand and handed a storage bag to Li Feiyu.
Li Feiyu took the storage bag, looking surprised, and said, "Great-grandfather..."
However, an immense magical power suddenly erupted from Li Changyan's body.
The magical power was like a raging wave of fire, blasting Li Feiyu and Li Yourong, who was standing next to him, ten feet away.
The next moment, flames shot into the sky from Li Changyan's dantian, and two flame-shaped Dao flowers condensed above his head. These were Li Changyan's "Human Flower" and "Earth Flower". He had already entered the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment several years ago.
The moment the two Daoist flowers appeared, Li Changyan's body also suddenly soared upwards, flying into the sky.
"Remember, you must survive!" Li Changyan glanced at Li Feiyu and Li Yourong as they flew into the sky.
His voice entered their minds.
Then, Li Changyan's gaze shifted as he looked at the three brothers, Kuang Liming, Kuang Xiong, and Kuang Guang, high in the sky.
"Forbidden Technique: Hidden Dragon Emerges from the Abyss, Flame Burst!" As he soared upwards, Li Changyan formed hand seals, and endless flames gathered around his body towards the Dao Flower above his head. Even the river of fire in the array chamber below was channeled into the sky like a long river.
A powerful surge of fire energy flowed into his body and into the flower.
There is also a force of earth vein energy mixed in.
At this moment, Li Changyan's aura had clearly reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
Even above his head, a third Dao flower, the "Heavenly Flower," condensed and took shape.
Within the ceiling, vast flames rolled and surged like raging waves.
Li Changyan cultivated the second-tier, mid-grade "Blazing Wave Transformation Technique" to forge his Dao foundation: "Abyss in Fire".
Once the "human flowers," "earth flowers," and "ceiling flowers" are condensed and formed.
This can produce the strange phenomenon of a fiery river surging upwards from the fiery abyss.
This caused the three flowers to contain a fiery abyss within them, with waves of fire rolling and poised to erupt.
If he were to reach the Core Formation stage, he could also cultivate fire-based divine abilities such as "Fire River in Flowers" and "Long Roar of the Fire Dragon".
"Oh no, this old guy is going to self-destruct!" At this moment, Kuang Liming, who was looking down from high above, felt a chill in his heart.
He quickly stepped back.
At the same time, he made a hand gesture to make the surrounding Xuan Yin evil energy writhe.
In the blink of an eye, two blades of murderous aura, each over ten feet long, materialized and stabbed down at Li Changyan, who was soaring upwards below.
Kuang Xiong, standing nearby, even brought out the "Black Gold Mountain Seal," which had transformed into a 16-foot-wide seal.
"Go!" With a gesture of his hand, Kuang Xiong sent the giant seal crashing down on Li Changyan, who was rising from the lower array chamber.
The giant seal descended, carrying gusts of fierce wind that distorted the void.
Kuang Guang's gaze sharpened, and he immediately unleashed a series of "Mysterious Fiend Life-Stealing Chains" towards Li Changyan.
At the same time, the three of them retreated rapidly, clearly not daring to underestimate Li Changyan's dying counterattack.
At this moment, Li Changyan's body soared upwards, and the three Dao flowers on his head shone with dazzling light.
The first "human flower" flew away at lightning speed, transforming into a fire dragon that soared upwards, like a dragon emerging from the abyss with unstoppable momentum.
The flames on the fire dragon's body burned fiercely, causing the void to sizzle.
The murderous aura that Kuang Liming had condensed was gradually melted away.
The fire dragon seized the opportunity to soar upwards and collided with the "Black Gold Mountain Seal" unleashed by Kuang Xiong.
boom!
In the blink of an eye, the fire dragon unleashed terrifying power, sending the 'Black Gold Mountain Seal' flying.
The fire dragon soared up from the shattered gap in the top of the array chamber, appeared high in the sky, and exploded.
boom!
The aftershocks of the explosion shattered all of Kuang Guang's "Mysterious Life-Stealing Lock".
The terrifying aftershocks swept towards the three of them.
All three of them conjured protective light shields to defend themselves.
Even so, the three of them were still forced back ten feet.
As they were forced back ten feet, flames shot into the sky from the array chamber below, their intense light blinding.
However, Li Changyan, with two Daoist flowers on his head, soared upwards.
In the instant it soared upwards, a Dao flower flashed and flew swiftly towards Kuang Guang, who had been knocked back.
A Daoist flower flew towards Kuang Xiong.
Li Changyan himself flew towards Kuang Liming, like a startled rainbow, with flames burning fiercely on his body.
He is burning his own foundation in immortality, making a final, desperate strike.
