Chapter 254: Barbarian Conspiracy, Fusion of the Divine Soul
The most secretive corner of the Liman King's tribe is a forbidden area for the Liman tribe and no cultivators are seen here.
At this time, the door of a secret room slowly opened, and after a moment, Man Ying's figure slowly walked out of the secret room.
Breathing the long-lost air and looking at the tribal buildings that he hadn't seen for many years, Manying clenched his fists, and the aura of the eighth level of Refining Void spread out, sweeping across the entire Liman tribe with himself as the center.
Suddenly, all the Liman monks knew that the new Liman King had come out of seclusion.
"The Blood Devouring Technique is indeed powerful. In just a few years, I have been able to break through to the late stage of Void Refinement. I can even go one step further and reach the ninth level of Void Refinement."
"I will spend some time to refine the remaining blood in my body in the future. I estimate that I will be not far from the ninth level of Refining Void."
Feeling the surging power in his body, Man Ying tried hard to suppress the urge to try.
In a blink of an eye, Manying walked to the vicinity of the barbarian hall.
Among the tribesmen we met on the road, there were only a few who were at the Refining Void Realm, and most of them were at the first or second level of Refining Void.
Now, after the baptism of the last war, the entire Liman tribe does not have many elites left, and the only one who can be considered capable is Man Yan.
But this person has just barely entered the middle stage of the Refinement Realm. If he were placed in the former Liman tribe, he would only be at an above-average level. But now he has become a pillar of the clan.
Now that his strength has just broken through, he must share this good news with his mother, the Shadow Barbarian Queen. However, he has been in seclusion for more than ten years, so he plans to sort out the affairs of the tribe and then immediately go to the Shadow Barbarian tribe to announce the good news.
But as he approached the hall, he couldn't help but look a little weird.
When he stepped into the hall, he found that the Shadow Barbarian King was sitting in the hall, seemingly waiting for his arrival.
"Out of seclusion?"
After looking Man Ying up and down for a few times, King Ying Man nodded slightly, seeming to be very satisfied with it: "Not bad, you have lived up to your mother's painstaking efforts."
At the same time, she picked up a thumb-sized spiritual fruit from the plate in front of her, put it in her mouth and chewed it carefully, looking quite enjoyable.
"Thanks to my mother's guidance, I was able to see the sun and the moon through the fog. Otherwise, the Liman tribe would have been doomed."
After feeling the huge difference in strength, Manying's attitude was completely different from before. He was not as resistant to the Blood Devouring Technique as he was at the beginning, and even felt a little unsatisfied.
As the mother and son were talking, a tall and powerful barbarian with red skin walked out from the back hall. His muscles were knotted and he seemed to have the terrifying power of a volcanic eruption.
When Shadow Barbarian King saw him coming out, his eyes rippled with tears. He waved his hand and called him to his side: "Are you awake?"
She casually picked up another spiritual fruit and put it into the red-skinned barbarian's mouth. Whether it was intentional or accidental, when the red-skinned barbarian ate the spiritual fruit, he licked her slender white fingers with his tongue.
The Shadow Barbarian King's face turned slightly red and he glared at him fiercely.
Watching the two flirting, Man Ying's face turned pale: "Man Yan! The rear hall is King Liman's daily residence. How dare you sleep here? If I don't kill you today, how can I convince the people in the future!"
"presumptuous!"
Shadow Barbarian King hurriedly stopped him and said, “Man Yan was tired just now, I asked him to rest here for a while.”
As he spoke, a member of the powerful barbarian tribe named "Man Yan" leaned down and obediently came in front of the Shadow Barbarian King, allowing him to caress him with a look of enjoyment on his face.
He seemed to enjoy it on the surface, but he was quite helpless in his heart. He had the appearance of a barbarian, but he was not a barbarian at heart.
Although being "favored" by the Shadow Barbarian King, Chen Fengshuo was crying in his heart. A real man was born between heaven and earth. Even if he didn't have to rule the world, he should still have power in some area. But now he has become a woman's plaything, which is really hard to accept.
After returning to the barbarian tribe last time, he deliberately changed his identity.
At that time, most of the Liman tribe members died or fled, leaving only Man Yan to take charge of the tribe. At the same time, Man Yan was also the strongest person in the Liman tribe at that time.
Seeing the decline of the Liman tribe, he became ambitious and wanted to take this opportunity to control the Liman tribe.
Later, after changing identities several times, he informed the Chen family of Man Yan's whereabouts.
When Man Yan went out one time, he was strangled by Chen Zhan and others. Afterwards, Chen Fengshuo took his blood and turned into Man Yan's appearance.
As one of the only two people in the middle stage of the Void Refinement Realm in the Liman tribe, he naturally holds great power. In addition, Manying is either in seclusion or out, so the barbarian tribe is almost under his control.
Unfortunately, the good times don't last long.
A few years ago, the Shadow Barbarian King took advantage of Man Ying's retreat and captured Chen Fengshuo in order to restore his own vitality, intending to use the method of taking yang to replenish yin to drain his marrow.
Even if you struggle hard, it is of no use in the face of absolute strength.
Chen Fengshuo knew that he had no chance of winning by directly resisting this woman's evil magic, so after careful consideration, he chose a roundabout way.
Having been in the magic world for many years, Chen Fengshuo has mastered many techniques such as collecting and replenishing energy or dual cultivation.
Among them is a supreme secret method of dual cultivation called the Yin-Yang Harmony Technique, which can adjust the true energy in the body to a special state, making one's Yang energy seem abundant but actually in a dynamic balance.
Whenever the Shadow Barbarian King abused him and took his essence, Chen Fengshuo would use his internal energy to adjust the yin and yang inside and outside his body to reach a certain balance point, so that his lost essence would form a closed loop in both of their bodies.
In this way, his essence will not only not decrease, but will gradually increase during the cycle.
Over time, Chen Fengshuo's own strength has also been improving, and he is about to break through the Nascent Soul Stage!
It has to be said that the Demonic Path's research in this area is unparalleled. Even though the King of Concealment was extremely powerful, he had not noticed anything unusual and thought that he had been absorbing the "Barbarian Flame".
The Shadow Barbarian King likes "Man Yan" more and more, who can never be squeezed dry. She has fun with him in the back hall of the Barbarian Palace every day, and has implicitly regarded him as her male lover.
Right now, the mother and son have been quarreling for half an hour. Chen Fengshuo watched coldly from the sidelines, and even thought that it would be better if the two of them turned against each other so that he could take advantage of the situation.
"I don't care about your private life, but don't behave yourself in front of me in the future. Otherwise, don't blame me for not thinking about the relationship between mother and son!"
Just when Man Ying was getting furious, King Ying Man remained calm. He slowly picked up a spiritual fruit and stuffed it into Chen Fengshuo's mouth. The latter ate it obediently with a look of satisfaction on his face.
"What a person who doesn't care about the love between mother and child!"
The Shadow Barbarian King laughed instead of getting angry: "I came here today to give you a chance to merge, but it seems you don't need it anymore."
As he said this, he was about to push Chen Fengshuo away from his arms, and stood up to leave.
"Mother, wait!"
Hearing about the opportunity of "fusion", Man Ying's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "I wonder what exactly is the opportunity of fusion you are talking about?"
"I'm afraid if I tell you, you won't care about the relationship between mother and son!"
"It's just an angry remark. You can come to this palace whenever you want and stay wherever you want in the future."
After some sweet talk, Shadow Barbarian King smiled and said, "That's pretty good."
"During your retreat, Manlie of the Great Barbarian King Tribe sent a message that in about twenty years, a chance for fusion will be born on Shenglin Island. You can go and look for it then."
Hearing the name 'Man Lie', Man Ying was immediately furious: "Man Lie is a traitor who stole the treasure of my clan. Sooner or later, I will kill him."
Shadow Barbarian King shook his head and advised, "Don't be so angry. This person is highly valued by the Great Barbarian King and has considerable influence in the Barbarian Tribe. If you still want to restore the strength of the Barbarian Tribe, you can only win him over and not make him your enemy." "Moreover, the Great Barbarian King attaches great importance to Shenglin Island. He had already made plans a thousand years ago and knows the situation of Shenglin Island in great detail. I have obtained a lot of secret information about Shenglin Island from Manlie."
"There are a few places that are not only less dangerous, but also more likely to encounter the Soul-Releasing Yuanpo. There is even a high probability that a treasure left by the Qilin Clan is buried in an unknown place."
Listening to the conversation between the barbarian mother and son, Chen Fengshuo's eyes lit up and his heart was filled with excitement.
He himself is not strong enough, so this level of information is not of much use to him. However, if it is passed back to the clan, it will be of great value. If he is lucky, it may allow the Chen family to become even stronger!
While thinking about it, he kept every word said by the mother and son in his mind.
That night, after a while, the clouds and rain ended.
Chen Fengshuo quietly practiced his martial arts skills, deliberately suppressing his own yang energy, making himself look extremely weak.
The Shadow Barbarian King's face flushed, with an expression of wanting more, and he frowned and said, "Not again?"
"I'm afraid I need to rest for a while. My body can't take it if I continue like this." Chen Fengshuo was panting, his face pale.
Seeing him like this, King Yingman had no choice but to nod and say, "I also have to prepare Ying'er for going to Shenglin Island recently, so you should take a good rest for a while."
Over the years, under long-term exploitation, in order to prevent the other party from noticing anything unusual, Chen Fengshuo would take a break for a few months every once in a while, saying that he was physically exhausted.
"I'll recover as soon as possible."
As he spoke, Chen Fengshuo left the back hall, wandered around the Liman tribe, and walked into a secret room.
After sealing the entrance, his entire temperament changed, and he suddenly looked energetic, without any sign of fatigue.
Even so, Chen Fengshuo carefully recuperated for a period of time. When he saw that the time was almost right, he took out the talisman and told Chen An everything he knew.
After practicing for two months, Chen Fengshuo finally walked out of the secret room in high spirits.
Chen family.
During his practice, Chen An sensed something unusual. He suddenly opened his eyes and reached for the storage bag at his waist.
"This kid actually managed to get such top-secret information!"
Holding the talisman in his hand and learning more detailed information about Shenglin Island, Chen An couldn't help but smile.
Originally, when the ten-year period was about to end, in order to prevent the other party's true identity from being revealed, he intended to recall Chen Fengshuo in the hope of surviving the Return to Origin Tribulation.
Who would have thought that this kid not only did not come back, but also used some unknown method to survive the return to origin catastrophe and even took control of the Liman tribe.
Now it has brought crucial news, which is of great help to Chen An.
Even with Situ Yanran's ability, she probably wouldn't be able to easily search for so many key locations.
According to Chen Fengshuo, the barbarians spent a lot of energy and obtained information about the five places where the Rong Shen Yuan Po was most likely to appear.
These places are less dangerous. As long as the cultivators who have reached the Perfection of the Void Refining Stage are careful and do not actively provoke powerful evil spirits, generally nothing will happen.
In addition, somewhere in the core area of Shenglin Island, there seems to be a mysterious treasure left behind by the Qilin clan buried here!
This treasure is not comparable to the incomplete Xuan Bao at the previous auction. It is a genuine and complete Xuan Bao.
As for why the remaining Qilin tribe didn't take it back, they were hiding from place to place as the Dragon and Phoenix tribes were hunting them, and they probably didn't dare to go back. Later, Shenglin Island suddenly suffered a disaster and turned into a den of ghosts. They no longer had the strength to take it back.
However, no matter what, Chen An did not intend to change his previous plan.
To be on the safe side, we decided to follow our previous plan and explore Shenglin Island with the other four people to find out the specific situation of Shenglin Island.
After you are familiar with the environment, you can wait for the opportunity to act.
Now, more than ten years have passed. Whether it is cultivation or other means such as sword intent and Dharma image phantom, Chen An has been proceeding in an orderly manner, and his strength is visibly increasing.
In the coming period of time, he is confident that he can improve his cultivation and methods to a certain level, this is beyond doubt.
The only thing that worries him right now is Huoyu. So far, Huoyu has only sent him news twice.
But every time the other party said that the water-attributed Lianxu feather was extremely difficult to find, and there was no specific information yet.
Chen An had anticipated this. After all, most birds have fire attributes. Attributes like gold, wood, water, and earth are not very common. Especially the water attribute, which is almost only found in the Honghu clan.
However, the Honghu clan is very rare in number and hard to find. Usually, there is little news about the Honghu clan in the world of immortal cultivation.
"Do I really have to find a peacock and kill it?"
Even though Chen An thought so, he only regarded it as a last resort.
The Peacock Clan is a powerful and influential clan in Fengming Continent. They even have Mahayana cultivators in the clan, so they are not easy to mess with.
If he had no other choice, he would not want to provoke the Peacock Clan.
While he was deep in thought, Chen Sheng walked into the cave from outside and presented a jade slip: "News from Huoyu."
Hearing this, Chen An raised his eyebrows, feeling a sense of inexplicable anticipation in his heart.
Huoyu sent a message two years ago, and the intervals are short now. Unless there is good news, the communications will not be so frequent.
'Several cultivators from the Honghu clan have come to Fengming Continent and have been communicating frequently with several major races here. They seem to be planning to explore a secret realm. They are all at the level of Refining Void Perfection. I cannot kill them and take their feathers. I need to wait and see what happens!'
There are only a few sentences above, but they contain a lot of information.
Honghu is a remote branch of Phoenix, and its overall strength is not too strong.
Judging from the information sent by Huoyu, the Honghu clan has probably also learned about the news of Shenglin Island and seems to be preparing for this trip.
The situation on Shenglin Island was unclear, and no one knew the exact location where Rongshen Yuanpo appeared. No one dared to take the risk of breaking in and waiting in such a dangerous place for decades.
The safest way is to make sure you are fully prepared and wait until the date is close before entering Shenglin Island to search.
But this is the result of speculation based on the information previously obtained. If someone knew in advance the approximate location where Rongshen Yuanpo would appear, it is possible that someone would wait there in advance.
You don’t need to prepare too much in advance, just one or two years or so can give you a head start!
Thinking of this, Chen An felt a little uneasy. After all, this was something that could really happen. At the very least, the barbarians were very likely to do so!
It seems that the departure date must be advanced some time.
Time was becoming more and more pressing, so Chen An stopped thinking about it and immediately put away his distracting thoughts and began to concentrate on practicing.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, twenty years have passed since the Feiyun Pavilion auction.
On this day, Chen An stepped out of the cave, his aura was stronger than ever before.
"The time has come, it's time to set off!"
