 Chapter 160 Star Martial Spirit

  Outside the Jueyin Valley, the key points of practicing the Xuanyin Jue flowed through Gu Yi's mind.

Xuanyin Jue is a peculiar martial art, it starts out as an ordinary martial art, but in places where the Yin energy of heaven and earth is dense, it can keep absorbing Yin energy, as if there is no end, and it can continue to evolve.

When practicing this martial art at the beginning, one needs to draw upon the Yin energy of heaven and earth, and form a vortex of Yin energy around the three acupoints of Tianque, Shenque, and Yindu on the chest.

Once the vortex of Yin energy is formed, it can actively absorb the Yin energy of the surrounding heaven and earth.

When the Yin Qi accumulates to a certain level, three Yin beads will form in the center of the three Yin Qi whirlpools and sink into the three major acupuncture points.

And this is not the end yet, the Yin Qi vortex can continue to absorb the Yin Qi of heaven and earth and condense Yin beads.

As the number of Yin beads in the acupuncture points increases, the power of Xuan Yin Jue will become greater.

With Gu Yi's current level of cultivation, he could practice the Xuanyin Jue very quickly.

In just a few breaths, Gu Yi absorbed the surrounding yin energy from heaven and earth, and condensed whirlpools with astonishingly fast rotation speed at three acupuncture points.

As soon as the small vortex was formed, a strong suction force erupted.

The negative energy of heaven and earth that had been lingering in the Jueyin Plain for who knows how many years suddenly seemed to have found an outlet, and it gathered madly from all directions and poured into Gu Yi's body.

As the yin energy of heaven and earth entered the vortex, it was immediately condensed and transformed into strands of higher quality Xuanyin power.

A few meters above Gu Yi's head, three whirlpools the size of human heads gradually formed, echoing the whirlpools at the acupuncture points, generating greater suction and gathering more Yin Qi from heaven and earth...

In this way, the larger the vortex, the stronger the suction, and the faster the negative energy of heaven and earth is gathered.

The vast yin energy of heaven and earth then pushes the vortex to grow larger, making it spin faster and absorbing more yin energy, forming a positive cycle.

A quarter of an hour later, the three whirlpools above Gu Yi's head had become like three small mountains, penetrating the sky and the earth, as if they were going to swallow up all the negative energy that had accumulated in the Jueyin Plain for who knows how many years in one breath.

This speed of absorbing the Yin Qi of heaven and earth is only slightly inferior to the quasi-celestial level technique "Blood Yang Sutra" that absorbs the energy of heaven and earth.

Of course, this martial art also has a big disadvantage, it can only work in an environment with yin energy.

Under the crazy absorption of the three huge whirlpools above his head, three rice-sized beads gradually took shape in the whirlpools outside the three acupoints on Gu Yi's chest, and they were growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Gu Yi also took this opportunity to comprehend the law of Yin.

There was no other way. In this place where the yin energy was so strong, Gu Yi couldn't comprehend the artistic conception of other laws. It was better for him to go with the flow and comprehend the artistic conception of yin.

Originally, because of the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, Gu Yi was only one step away from comprehending the artistic conception of Yin.

Now is the perfect time, and here Gu Yi's understanding of the artistic conception of Yin is improving every moment.

"Howl! Howl! Howl!"

Suddenly, roars like thunder came from the depths of Jueyin Valley and echoed throughout the entire Jueyin Plain.

I saw a giant python monster with a body like a mountain of flesh, covered with silver scales and spikes, and nine heads that were seven or eight feet long rushing out from the Jueyin Valley and heading straight for Gu Yi and the three level seven monsters.

The Nine-Headed Sky Snake, a level seven peak demon beast!

This is the master of the Jueyin Plain. Legend has it that it is an ancient species born from the union of a dragon and a python. Each of its nine heads possesses its own wisdom and different powers.

Three heads can spit out fire, three heads can spit out poison, and the remaining three can control negative energy.

Therefore, a demon crystal condensed on each head of the nine-headed sky snake.

One nine-headed sky snake is equivalent to nine-headed level seven monsters. Its strength is basically invincible among level seven monsters, and it is only one step away from level eight monsters.

However, now, because Gu Yi has been practicing the Xuanyin Jue, the Yin hormone in the Jueyin Plain has decreased, and the strength of the three heads of the Nine-headed Sky Snake that can control the Yin energy has decreased significantly.

When the Yin energy becomes thin to almost non-existent, its strength will drop by one third.

This is also the reason why the Nine-Headed Sky Snake took the initiative to rush out of Jueyin Valley. It wanted to kill the culprit who absorbed the Yin Qi!

Gu Yi, who had separated several residual souls and kept an eye on the surrounding movements, looked normal.

At this moment, the three Yin beads in the center of the Yin Qi vortex in his chest were completely condensed, emitting a faint black light, and slowly sank into the Shenque, Tianque, and Yindu acupoints.

However, he did not break away from his cultivation state. Instead, he continued to practice the Xuan Yin Jue, absorbing the Yin Qi of heaven and earth and condensing more Yin beads.

His remaining soul outside just had a thought, and the blood symbols of life and death in the hearts of the three monsters, Thunder Wing Silver Wolf and Thunder Wing Silver Wolf, immediately moved, making them feel a brief and severe pain.

The Thunder Winged Silver Wolf, the Red Flame Tiger, and the Earth Demon Bear growled, knowing that it was time for them to take action.

Ao! Roar! Ang!

The three level seven monsters roared and tried their best to block the nine-headed sky snake and fight with it.

The Thunder Wing Silver Wolf, known for its speed, dealt with the three heads that spewed venom and poison gas, while the Red Flame Tiger dealt with the three heads that spewed fire.

As for the Earth Demon Bear, to deal with the three heads, Gu Yi was half disabled and could not mobilize the Yin energy, so he could only bite and entangle the heads.

The division of labor is very clear.

They are all level seven monsters. Although their strength is far inferior to that of the Nine-headed Sky Snake, they can still fight with it for a while if they unite.

And this time was exactly what was fought for Gu Yi.

This is also the reason why Gu Yi spent more effort to subdue them when he left the Dark Forest.

Of course, if Gu Yi came by himself, he could first deal with the Nine-headed Sky Snake and then practice the Xuanyin Jue.

But the process will be more troublesome.

Because the Nine-Headed Sky Snake has the Jueyin Plain as its home ground, it can obtain a constant supply of Yin energy support.

Not only can it exert strength close to that of an eighth-level monster, but its vitality and recovery ability will also become very strong.

As long as the injury is not too serious, it can recover by absorbing and exhaling some Yin Qi.

Facing such an enemy, Gu Yi had no chance of killing him unless he used some of his trump cards, such as burning his blood essence for a long time and performing blood burning and blood refining.

Therefore, in order to save some energy and preserve some essence and blood, Gu Yi chose to practice the Xuanyin Jue first and eliminate the Jueyin plain environment.

The facts developed just as Gu Yi expected.

Under the protection of the three-headed monster, the nine-headed sky snake couldn't get close to Gu Yi at all.

In less than an hour, nine Yin beads accumulated in the three acupuncture points on Gu Yi's chest.

The price was that the yin energy of heaven and earth in the Jueyin Plain was almost completely sucked away by Gu Yi.

The dark clouds that had covered the Jueyin Plain for a thousand years in the sky dissipated, and the Jueyin Plain, which had never seen the sun all year round, welcomed rays of sunshine.

Under the shining sunlight, the nine-headed sky snake that had been living in a yin environment for thousands of years suddenly felt uncomfortable. The three heads that spewed yin energy were the first to collapse and became extremely weak.

The eyes of the Earth Demon Bear, which had been suppressed and beaten, flashed with ferocity, and it immediately seized the opportunity to pounce and bite off a large piece of flesh from a python's head.

Seeing this, the wounded Thunder Wing Silver Wolf and Red Flame Tiger became excited and fought hard with the Nine-Headed Sky Snake.

Huh~

Feeling the vortex slowly stop rotating and no longer a trace of Yin energy being injected into his body, Gu Yi stood up.

"You did a great job." Gu Yi looked at the three monsters and was satisfied with their performance.

With a flick of his fingers, three streams of light flashed through the void and accurately fell into the mouths of the three monsters, and their injuries recovered quickly.

"It's time to end." A flash of blood appeared on Gu Yi's body, and he suddenly appeared in front of the Nine-headed Sky Snake, stabbing out with a spear burning with platinum flames.

Unlike the three monsters, Thunder Wing Silver Wolf, Gu Yi had no intention of taming the Nine-headed Sky Snake, and he was not even planning on killing it and refining a Blood Shadow Puppet.

Because the nine-headed serpent is the last link to unlock the land of inheritance.

——Only by killing the nine-headed sky snake and taking out the nine demon crystals in its mind, can the Tianmen treasure map composed of two incomplete maps in Gu Yi's hand accumulate enough energy to open the place of inheritance.

Therefore, without the demon crystal representing the essence of its energy, the nine-headed sky snake, even if it turns into a blood shadow puppet, its strength is only equivalent to that of a low-level demon beast of level three or four, so it is of little use.

Soon, the nine-headed sky snake was crushed into meat paste one by one under the martial art "Magnetic Pole Field" that Gu Yi had just learned less than half a month ago, and was dead beyond deadness.

Fist-sized seventh-level demon crystals were taken out from the rotten flesh.

Gu Yi did not let go of the fangs, gallbladder, skin, tendons and other materials from the nine-headed snake.

Poisonous fangs and poisonous gallbladders can be used to extract powerful toxins, which can be used as training materials for the Little Medical Immortal.

Others can be refined into weapons, armor, etc.

For example, the tendons of the nine-headed serpent can be used as bowstrings.

In conjunction with the bow body made from the bones of the Snake Lord that Gu Yi collected from the Purple Mansion, a small part was selected to be refined, which was enough to refine a set of heavenly bows and arrows.

——That is to say, the Snake Lord had been dead for too long, and his snake tendons had long since merged into the purple lake and were absorbed by Gu Yi, and a lot of energy in his bones had also been dissipated.

Otherwise, Gu Yi could have used the snake tendons and bones of the Snake Lord in his prime to refine a bow with even greater power and quality.

"The Blood Soul Spear also needs to be reforged." Gu Yi looked at the spear in his hand, thinking slightly.

As Gu Yi's cultivation level improved, the Blood Soul Spear, a mid-grade Xuan weapon, was no longer sufficient.

You should know that Gu Yi's current physical strength has reached the seventh level of the Xuanwu Realm. His bones are no worse than the Blood Soul Spear in any aspect, and are even slightly better.

Therefore, the improvement of the Blood Soul Gun needs to be put on the agenda.

Soon, the day passed and night fell.

A sky full of stars appeared above the sky. Gu Yi looked up at this scene and felt something in his heart. He immediately took out a treasure map from his storage ring.

After a while, the treasure map suddenly lit up, slowly rose into the air, and hovered in the sky above the Jueyin Valley, emitting a strange power.

The brilliance of the stars in the sky seemed to be attracted by the power of the treasure map. The bright starlight fell from the sky above, like raindrops falling on the treasure map.

Boom!

The treasure map exploded and a fist-sized crystal appeared out of thin air.

The energy contained within it is much greater than that of the Nine-Headed Sky Snake's demon crystal, and you can vaguely see the soul of a little man with a dull expression in the center.

This is actually an eighth-level demon crystal! The

eighth-level demon crystal in the sky shone brightly, and a strange power rippled from its interior. The nine nine-headed sky snake demon crystals on the ground were summoned and flew into the sky, spinning around the eighth-level demon crystal.

On the ground, the blood of the nine-headed sky snake that Gu Yi deliberately left behind seemed to come alive, drawing a huge galaxy pattern on the ground.

Ten demon crystals in the sky exploded and turned into ten beams of light, channeling all their energy into the galaxy pattern, along with the starlight in the sky.

A dazzling light gate slowly condensed!

Gu Yi pondered, recalling the information about the place of inheritance.

"In the space inside the Heavenly Gate, it seems that only those below the Status Realm can move freely, while those above the Status Realm cannot move and will be suppressed by the power left by Ouyang Zhi."

The reason for such a restriction is that the inheritance left by Ouyang Zhi was originally intended to be inherited by warriors of low cultivation.

The clue can be seen from the fact that Xuanyin Jue is a mortal-level martial art.

Under normal circumstances, low-level warriors would practice this martial art in order to resist the negative energy when they come to a place like Jueyin Valley.

But Ouyang Zhi never expected that Gu Yi, whose cultivation level was equivalent to that of Nirvana, had actually learned the Xuanyin Jue.

"In order to ensure that everything goes well, I should create another clone and go in together." Gu Yi said to himself.

Ouyang Zhi was able to open up a space for inheritance and condense his own martial soul into a martial soul source seal.

It can be seen that his cultivation has probably already stepped half a foot into the realm of true god.

After all, generally speaking, only true gods can leave behind the martial soul source seal.

The True God Realm, placed in the Jiuxiao Continent, is already a venerable figure in the Venerable Martial Realm with immense strength.

Gu Yi did not dare to neglect the inheritance land and inheritance rules left by such a person.

So Gu Yi once again used the secret technique of blood body to condense a clone.

This clone is of the same clan as him, and Gu Yi merged the three Yin beads in his body into three acupoints on his chest.

Afterwards, he asked Lei Yi, Silver Wolf and the other two to stay outside the Heavenly Gate on standby, while Gu Yi and his new clone entered the Heavenly Gate together.

As soon as he entered the Heavenly Gate, Gu Yi immediately felt a spatial force acting on him and his clone, teleporting them into a space.

In the sky of this space, there is a huge galaxy with small stars as big as mountains hanging high in it.

It seemed as if the distance between the starry sky and the earth was shortened a billion times.

And on the ground, lying with its back to the sky, was a huge human-shaped stone statue as big as a mountain range.

At this moment, Gu Yi was at the heel of the stone statue's right leg, like a small ant.

"Sure enough, those whose strength is above the Status Realm cannot move." Gu Yi felt it and found that there was a powerful force binding his whole body, making him unable to move.

On the contrary, the weaker clone was teleported to the left palm of the stone statue and was able to move freely.

Bang!

The Yin beads at the three acupoints of Gu Yi and his clone's chest began to beat regularly, and a mysterious suction force came from the heart of the stone statue.

There, there is a group of crystals emitting hazy starlight, constantly gathering the formative force of the galaxy.

That is where the Star Martial Soul Source Seal is located!

In this situation, Gu Yi could only let his clone follow the call of the Martial Soul Source Seal to the Yin Pearl and head towards the heart of the stone statue.

The clone overcame all obstacles along the way, killing countless stone men, evil spirits, and poisonous demons that blocked the way, and finally arrived at the heart of the stone statue.

There is a huge deep pit here, gathering the starlight from all over the sky. In the center of the pit is a red crystal block that absorbs the starlight energy.

The clone extracted the energy of the Yin Pearl in his body, formed a large gray hand outside, and took the crystal out of the deep pit.

The clone stretched out his hand to grasp the crystal, but it suddenly shattered, bursting out billions of starlights, all of which poured into the clone's body and gathered at his heart.

His heart immediately underwent a strange change. Countless starlight took root and sprouted in his heart, condensing into a starlight seed.

This is exactly the Starry Soul Source Seal!

At the same time as the clone obtained the Soul Source Seal, this space began to collapse and the stone statue cracked.

The bound Gu Yi was able to break free.

However, he did not immediately reunite with his clone, but was sent back to Jueyin Valley by a spatial force.

As for the clone who received the inheritance, he was teleported to the outskirts of the Dead Swamp by a beam of light that fell from the sky.

"Let's go!" Sensing the location of his clone, Gu Yi immediately led the Thunder Wing Silver Wolves and the others there.

Gu Yi and his clone were originally one. As long as he merged the clone back, Gu Yi could merge the Star Martial Soul Source Seal over.

By then, Gu Yi also possessed three martial souls: blood, bone, and star!!

At the same time, people from the five major families of the Chamber of Commerce and Piaomiao Pavilion rushed to the Dead Silence Swamp.
