Chapter 1584 - 1446: Illusion Forest (Part 5)
Then Ye Guichen led the barbarians directly into the cave.
Sana and the others were resting with their eyes closed when they suddenly heard someone approaching from the cave entrance, and their eyes snapped open with a look of vigilance at the figure at the entrance.
"Holy Daughter! Holy Daughter!" Before entering the cave, the barbarians behind Ye Guichen couldn’t help but shout.
Sana, hearing the voice from afar, suddenly stood up from the ground.
"Could it be someone from the tribe has come to pick us up?" Sana thought, but then she realized the barbarians didn’t know about her escape, and she became immediately curious about the person walking in.
Soon, a huge figure glided in front of Sana and knelt down directly, tears flowing simultaneously.
Sana looked at the figure in front of her with shock: "Man Hui, how are you here?"
"Holy Daughter, it’s truly wonderful to find you!" Man Hui exclaimed excitedly.
"I was originally patrolling the border of the Barbarian Tribe when a few human cultivators ambushed me. They forced me to consume Corpse Gu Blood and imprisoned me in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion as auction goods. He bought me out and brought me here to find the Holy Daughter!" Man Hui recounted angrily while pointing to the figure behind him.
"Mr. Ye?" Sana, from afar, was busy asking Man Hui questions and momentarily overlooked Ye Guichen’s presence. Upon seeing Ye Guichen now, her gaze seemed somewhat frantic.
Ye Guichen nodded, signaling to Sana not to worry, and after explaining a few things, he walked out of the cave.
Ye Guichen came to a clearing, sat cross-legged, took out Gu Quan’an’s ring, and recognized it as his own with a blood drop.
He quickly scanned the contents inside, finding some semi-demon blood, some scattered spirit stones, and an ancient sheepskin scroll.
This must be the Nine Revolutions Dragon Elephant Skill, Ye Guichen thought.
Ye Guichen unfolded the sheepskin scroll, and an ancient aura rushed over him.
Ye Guichen carefully browsed this cultivation technique and suddenly found that it vaguely resembled the one he had obtained from the mind of the Dan God Sect’s Sect Master.
Ye Guichen quickly opened his storage space, searching for the cultivation technique acquired from the Dan God Sect, and soon found it in a dusty corner.
Ye Guichen brushed off the dust and placed the two cultivation techniques together, studying them closely.
Upon examination, he discovered that the cultivation technique from the Dan God Sect was actually the upper half of the Nine Revolutions Dragon Elephant Skill.
Considering the oddities shown by the Dan God Sect’s Sect Master and Gu Quan’an, Ye Guichen became deeply curious about this cultivation technique and immediately began researching it.
"What a treasure!" Through his research, Ye Guichen discovered that this was an ancient body-training cultivation technique, divided into six layers: training flesh, training tendons, training skin, training bones, training internal organs, training acupoints. The method of cultivation for each layer was quite different, and upon reaching the peak of this body-training technique, one could truly possess the strength of a dragon elephant, capable of shattering a small world with a single punch, causing stars to fall and suns to set.
"A small world? What is that?" Ye Guichen felt a wave of confusion upon reading the description.
However, the first step for cultivating this technique is to unleash one’s latent potential through powerful bloodline power, commonly known as blood replacement.
Only by completing the blood replacement can you start to cultivate this technique; otherwise, forcefully practicing it would cause bodily mutations and weaknesses, ultimately leading to going berserk.
With this thought, Ye Guichen couldn’t help but think of Gu Quan’an. It turned out Gu Quan’an hadn’t even achieved the entry level but dared to forcibly practice this technique; no wonder his body turned out that way.
Seeing the blood replacement condition, Ye Guichen thought about the various types of blood within him, including the Corpse Gu Blood and his mother’s mysterious blood. With multiple bloodlines coexisting within him, he should have met the requirements for the technique, right?
Yet despite this, Ye Guichen was still filled with concern; after all, if he went berserk, everything would be for naught.
"Forget it, I’ll wait until the Life Fountain to practice this technique. With the presence of the Life Fountain, even if I fail in cultivation, I won’t go berserk," Ye Guichen thought, storing the cultivation technique in the ring.
Ye Guichen went back into the cave to call out Sana and the others, and the group headed straight for the Barbarian Land.
According to Sana, the Barbarian Land is located within the Illusion Forest, a hundred miles away. To enter the Barbarian Land, one must pass through this Illusion Forest to reach its central area.
Yet within the Illusion Forest lies significant danger, rife with magical beasts. However, the most terrifying thing is not the beasts, but the mist therein. Countless people seeking to explore the Barbarian Land have been swallowed by this mysterious mist, which is precisely why the barbarian tribe can continue to live in peace.
Recently, as the Life Fountain opens, many hidden sects are making moves, and surely many ambitious individuals will attempt to enter the Barbarian Land, leading to potential bloodshed and a river of blood.
