Chuyun Tremors
"What should we do now? Should we go in?" the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King asked Xiao Yan.
Although it and the Little Fairy Doctor had entered the Deep Secluded Canyon together before, Xiao Yan was definitely the core of the team.
Xiao Yan pondered for a moment. Suddenly, the Heavenly Flame Venerable's voice came from the Storage Ring: "Be careful, I just sensed a trace of Dou Zun aura."
"Dou Zun?! A Dou Zun powerhouse has appeared?!" Xiao Yan's heart shook. Could the previous anomaly have been caused by a Dou Zun?
"No, it's not a true Dou Zun. It should be the opening of a Dou Zun's legacy. Something has activated the legacy remains, but it hasn't fully manifested yet," the Heavenly Flame Venerable said.
After hearing the Heavenly Flame Venerable's words and thinking for a while, Xiao Yan slowly shook his head and said to the Little Fairy Doctor and the others, "No, we're not in a hurry. Even without the poisonous zhang, the Deep Secluded Canyon is still a dangerous place. Let them go and test the waters first. Besides, this time, I'm afraid it won't be that simple."
The poisonous zhang was only the first line of defense of the Deep Secluded Canyon. If the Deep Secluded Canyon only had the poisonous zhang, then what difference would there be after the poisonous zhang receded compared to now?
The Deep Secluded Canyon was not only rich in poisons, but also in venomous creatures and insects, just like when Zi Yan was in the Inner Academy, she usually had to fight the Magical Beasts guarding the natural treasures to obtain them.
Since Xiao Yan had already said so, everyone naturally had no objections. The once crowded Youdu City had almost lost more than half of its population in the blink of an eye, all rushing to the Deep Secluded Canyon.
Xiao Yan and his group easily found a place to stay.
Gradually, more and more news about the Deep Secluded Canyon came back.
First of all, as Xiao Yan had thought, there was indeed no poisonous zhang in the canyon, but the venomous creatures guarding the natural treasures were still there, so many weaker Poison Masters suffered greatly, and there were even quite a few deaths.
Moreover, there was no news about the Strange Flame and Clear Soul Youlan that he cared about.
...
The news of the Deep Secluded Canyon's anomaly and the disappearance of the poisonous zhang spread from Youdu City at an extremely fast speed, and then to the ears of the major religions and even the royal family of the Chuyun Empire. In just a few days, the news spread throughout the entire Chuyun Empire, and even the Gama Empire had heard of it.
This news was too shocking. Some Dou Wang (Fighting King) powerhouses even used medicinal pills to travel day and night, crossing mountains and rivers, to deliver the news to their sects as quickly as possible.
In fact, many Sect Leaders of the Chuyun Empire's sects and religious factions were shocked by such news, and they did not hesitate to alarm the powerhouses in seclusion in their clans to pass the news to their ears.
Even those old undying powerhouses who were hiding in seclusion, planning to break through to a higher level, were shocked by such news.
"The canyon's poisonous zhang has completely disappeared?!" Upon hearing such news, even the well-known powerhouses of the Chuyun Empire changed their expressions and were shocked.
"Since records began, the Deep Secluded Canyon has always had poisonous zhang. It has always been a dangerous place, a place where even Dou Zong (Dou Ancestor) can be buried. What caused the poisonous zhang in the Deep Secluded Canyon to disappear?!" For a time, those powerhouses in seclusion were alarmed.
At this time, countless speculations spread everywhere, and all kinds of rumors arose. There were all sorts of theories, and many people even believed that the Chuyun Empire was about to change.
Because of this, it made many people's minds wander, and even the emperor of the Chuyun Empire felt that something big was happening.
"Could it be that the legacy of Youdu Venerable is about to open?!" After hearing the news that the poisonous zhang in the Deep Secluded Canyon had completely disappeared, some dying old undyings couldn't help but guess. These people were all old things who had lived for hundreds of years.
These old undyings knew that the reason why Youdu City was called Youdu was because the legend was true. There was indeed a Dou Zun who had fallen in the Deep Secluded Canyon, and that Dou Zun's title was Youdu! "Could it be that Youdu Venerable's legacy has finally begun to look for an heir, so the poisonous zhang disappeared!?'
This kind of speculation was not just held by one or two people. Many sect powerhouses who knew that the Deep Secluded Canyon did indeed hide a Dou Zun's remains guessed this way.
With this kind of speculation, countless sect powerhouses in the Chuyun Empire were eager to try! They even sent a large number of disciples to Youdu City as soon as possible.
It was not surprising that such a thing happened. A Dou Zun's legacy remains! No matter who it was for, it was full of temptation. Even those old generation powerhouses who had seen countless things could not resist such temptation.
It should be known that the reason why Xiao Yan's Pill Refining technique was so powerful and his cultivation was so strong now was partly because he had obtained the Medicine Venerable's legacy.
Even if the things in the Bone Flame Ring were not counted, just the Heavenly Flame Venerable alone. If the Heavenly Flame Venerable was really not good, dead, then Xiao Yan would obtain his legacy, not only possessing Earth Rank Cultivation Methods and Dou Techniques, but also possessing the Source Fire Seed of the Fallen Heart Flame.
Tell me, who wouldn't want such a thing! If one could enter the legacy remains left by a Dou Zun, then there would be many great opportunities waiting. Who wouldn't want to obtain the legendary adventure and legacy?
In a short period of time, many young Poison Masters from the Chuyun Empire entered Youdu City, just to take a gamble.
And on the fifth day after the poisonous zhang completely disappeared, someone discovered a Space Lock in a place in the canyon!
"Space Lock?!"
"Yes! In a place in the canyon, someone discovered a place with traces of space distortion. After investigation, it was a Space Lock seal cast by a Dou Zun!"
"Could it be... the legend is true! This is really the place where a Dou Zun fell! Could it be that the Dou Zun left a legacy before his death!!"
For a time, the news of the Dou Zun's legacy spread throughout Youdu City, and even beyond Youdu City.
"However, that Space Lock cannot be entered. Even several Dou Huang (Fighting Emperor) powerhouses working together cannot break through it. It is said that disciples from the Poison Sect and the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate have already gone to invite the Dou Zong (Dou Ancestor) powerhouses in their sects to come forward!"
"Big news! A Rank 6 Alchemist went to that Space Lock. Although he failed to open the Space Lock, he asserted that the Space Lock contains a great Secret Realm, a Secret Realm that has never been discovered!"
The discovery made by the Rank 6 Alchemist using his Soul power was also quickly spread. The Space Lock not only contained the Dou Zun's legacy, but also a Secret Realm, a treasure land, and a treasure land that had never been discovered before. How could this not be shocking?
In a short period of time, Youdu City became even more lively than it was at the beginning. Countless young Poison Masters who dreamed of obtaining the Dou Zun's legacy and entering the Secret Realm to seek good fortune flocked into Youdu City, and even many famous sect successors did not hesitate to take risks.
Among the Poison Masters who entered Youdu City, there were also some particularly eye-catching powerhouses.
For example, there was Poison Guanyin, dressed in a white dress and veil, riding a white lotus as she flew over. When this white figure appeared in Youdu City, white petals fluttered down, creating a scene as sacred as Guanyin's procession.
However, upon closer inspection of the white figure's appearance, a chill ran down one's spine. Beneath the veil was an old woman on the verge of death, with half of her face festered by poison, oozing pus and blood, a truly repulsive sight.
"Be careful of those white petals! They are highly poisonous!" Seeing the petals scattered by Poison Guanyin, many poison masters who recognized her retreated, their faces filled with dread.
In the Chuyun Empire, true strength wasn't necessarily about high cultivation. In the Chuyun Empire, mastery of poison was the true measure of power.
Although Poison Guanyin was only a Seven-Star Dou Huang, it was rumored that she had once poisoned a Dou Zong to death! "It's not surprising that an old monster like Poison Guanyin has come. Even Xie Shan, the Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate, has arrived, and he's even brought their town-guarding Magical Beast, the Four-Winged Sky Demon Scorpion," said a poison master who knew the situation.
"No way, Xie Shan is here! And he brought the Four-Winged Sky Demon Scorpion! Is he planning a massacre?!" Hearing this news, many were shaken.
Just as everyone was discussing the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate, one of the strongest forces in the Chuyun Empire, a voice laced with Dou Qi resounded throughout Youdu City.
"So lively, seems I'm not late."
When the voice faded and the person appeared, it caused even greater shock. A figure appeared from the distance as if flashing, arriving above Youdu City in a single step.
Walking on air, a Dou Zong powerhouse! Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that a short man, looking to be in his early forties but only about 1.3 meters tall, was standing in the sky above Youdu City.
This middle-aged man was much shorter than the average person, but no one dared to underestimate him because of his height.
Because he was the current Sect Leader of the Poison Sect, Du Gu Tian Gao.
Although Du Gu Tian Gao was short, his entire body was bulging with muscles, making him extremely robust. His whole body seemed to be filled with power, and his iron hands seemed capable of tearing anything apart.
Especially when his Dou Zong aura erupted, everyone in Youdu City broke out in a cold sweat, swallowed hard, and no one dared to utter a word.
"Poison Sect Leader Du Gu Tian Gao! Heavens, the Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate and the Sect Leader of the Poison Sect have both arrived!" Upon seeing this short man, many poison masters couldn't help but gasp, their faces changing drastically.
The leaders of the two strongest sects in the Chuyun Empire had actually come!
"Hehe, what great prestige, Du Gu Tian Gao. Anyone who didn't know better would think you've already reached the peak of Dou Zong." With a thud, a giant scorpion lay across the middle of the street. Xie Shan stood on the back of the Four-Winged Sky Demon Scorpion, his hands behind his back, looking indifferently at the Poison Sect Leader.
Others might fear him, but Xie Shan did not. Although Xie Shan was only a peak Dou Huang, Du Gu Tian Gao was only a One-Star Dou Zong.
With himself and the Sixth Order Magical Beast Four-Winged Sky Demon Scorpion, he was not afraid of a One-Star Dou Zong.
"Hehe, Xie Shan, are you alone?" Du Gu Tian Gao's eyes narrowed, and his Dou Zong perception instantly swept over the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate's camp, as he slowly asked.
Xie Shan naturally knew what he was looking for, and coldly smiled, "Don't bother looking, the Old Ancestor hasn't come."
Everyone knew that the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate had a long history, and had once produced a Supreme Elder named Xie Bi Yan. This person's cultivation had long since reached the Dou Zong realm, but he had disappeared for a long time, and no one knew if he was still alive.
Their eyes met, and they instantly reached a consensus. Both were cunning old foxes, and they understood the story of the fisherman benefiting, so they planned to join forces to break the Space Lock first, and then decide what to do after entering the mysterious Secret Realm.
"Go! The Poison Sect and the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate are joining forces to attack the Space Lock!"
"I heard that it's not just them joining forces, even powerhouses like Poison Guanyin are planning to join forces to break the Space Lock. After all, it's all useless talk if you can't get in."
"Then what are we waiting for? Follow them, even if they eat the meat, we can at least drink some soup."
When they learned that the Poison Sect and the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate were planning to join forces to break the Space Lock, everyone flocked to follow behind the two major sects.
Normally, even a Dou Zong would be unable to break the Space Lock set by a Dou Zun, but the energy of the Space Lock was not eternal. In addition, with so many powerhouses joining forces now, it was hard to say.
Only Xiao Yan, this 'foreigner', calmly drank tea in the inn.
"Hey, Xiao Yan, how much longer do we have to wait? Everyone else is gone," Zi Yan said, propping her hands on the chair, feeling very bored. She wanted to hit someone.
Xiao Yan slowly took a sip of hot tea, exhaled a puff of white air, and said indifferently, "What's the rush? I've already checked out that Space Lock. Those Dou Huangs and Dou Zongs will definitely not be able to break it. Even if we all work together, it will be difficult to break."
"Ah, then what do we do? The thing you're looking for is inside, right?"
Xiao Yan poured himself a cup of tea and said, "Wait. There's no need to break that Space Lock. It will open on its own in two days. Those guys are just asking for trouble."
Xiao Yan hadn't seen that Space Lock, but Heavenly Flame Venerable had.
Heavenly Flame Venerable was, after all, a Dou Zun, and his understanding of Space Locks was much deeper than Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor's. He quickly discovered that the power of this Space Lock came from the poisonous miasma that initially enveloped the canyon.
Now that the poisonous miasma had disappeared, the Space Lock would soon run out of energy and disappear.
Heavenly Flame Venerable estimated that the poisonous miasma was absorbed by the Secret Realm inside the Space Lock, which meant that there was indeed something inside that Secret Realm.
And the reason why the poisonous miasma in the Deep Secluded Canyon receded every time was likely for this reason. Two days later would be exactly the seventh day since Xiao Yan arrived in Youdu City, which was when the poisonous miasma originally receded.
Xiao Yan slowly looked into the distance and murmured, "The Strange Flame should be inside that Secret Realm. What Little Fairy Doctor saw back then might have been the Strange Flame inside the Space Lock. Poisonous miasma... Could the Strange Flame inside the Space Lock be that one?"
Netherworld Poison Flame, ranked twentieth on the Strange Flame Ranking List.
After being xunran by the sky-covering poisonous miasma in the Poisonous Swamp for thousands of years, the flame burned and consumed endless poisonous miasma. It took a hundred years to form a spirit, a thousand years to take shape, and when it reached its peak, its color turned green, like a ghost fire traveling through the poisonous swamp miasma.
With a creak, Little Fairy Doctor came in from outside and said, "The Medicinal Herbs are all bought. Are you planning on Pill Refining?"
Xiao Yan nodded and said, "Yes, if I'm not mistaken, the Strange Flame you and the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King saw back then should be the Netherworld Poison Flame. This kind of Strange Flame is different from ordinary Strange Flames. To refine it, I need to prepare some Antidote Pills and Poison Resistance Pills."
"Fortunately, Youdu City not only has a lot of poison, but also a lot of things to detoxify, otherwise it would be troublesome."
The Netherworld Poison Flame itself is a spirit nurtured by poisonous miasma, containing highly toxic poison. As long as it is contaminated by a spark of it, one will be poisoned instantly, so it is almost impossible to devour and fuse! If Xiao Yan wants to refine the Netherworld Poison Flame, he must first find a way to deal with the highly toxic poison.
First, here's a chapter. There will be another chapter later today. Something has delayed the progress.
