Longevity and Immortal Cultivation: Starting from Controlling Your Own Essence.

Chapter 263 Wujin Tribe
In the deep and vast underground world.

Zhang Yao and Ancestor Mingyuan came to the place where Heisen Taoist Sima Yan's aura disappeared, and after a lot of effort, they found his remains.

"Hey……"

The two of them looked at the gray-black mud-like remains, sighed a few times, and prepared to hastily bury him.

"Ok?"

At this moment, Zhang Yao seemed to notice something unusual, and his expression moved slightly:
"Fellow Daoist Mingyuan, please wait for now."

As he spoke, he rummaged through the gray-black mud and found a dark green seed.

"This is……"

Ancestor Ming Yuan was slightly startled and immediately thought of something:
"He's not completely dead yet? This should be some way for him to save his life, right?"

"pretty close."

Zhang Yao said, carefully examining the seed in his hand with his magic power and spiritual will, and finally made a judgment:
"A very powerful way to save life. The vitality is almost completely suppressed and covered up. It is no different from normal plant seeds."

"It's no wonder that a strong man like Master Tianying was deceived by this trick."

"Um……"

Ancestor Mingyuan pondered for a moment and speculated:
"Fellow Taoist Sima Yan's Yinmu Dharma Body is not made of flesh and blood. Even if it is attacked by the Liequan Divine Palm of Master Tianying, it should be able to last for an extra moment or two."

"It is estimated that it was this little buffer time that gave him the opportunity to use his final life-saving means to hide the truth."

"What friend Daoist said is good."

Zhang Yao nodded in agreement and said again:

"However, after fellow Taoist Sima Yan turned into a seed, his self-consciousness has been completely silent, and it may be difficult to awaken it in a short time."

Ancestor Mingyuan heard this and boldly guessed:

"Since it's a seed, maybe it needs to be planted before it can take root and sprout?"

"In my opinion, it is better to find some spiritual soil after leaving Mo Yuan and plant this seed. It may have miraculous effects."

"It makes sense."

Zhang Yao nodded, then carefully put away the dark green seeds, and then flew away side by side with Ancestor Ming Yuan.

…………

"Boom!" "Boom!"

Two rays of light shuttled through the deep underground world.

Although the vertical depth of the extremely deep underground world is only a few tens of thousands of feet, its breadth is extremely astonishing.

In the continuous in-depth exploration, Zhang Yao has also been observing carefully:

Within the first few hundred miles close to the magnetic barrier, due to the destructive influence of the Kuroshio, it was almost exactly the same as the second interval.

But soon, changes quietly appeared:

"Is this... stale air?"

Zhang Yao's expression moved slightly.

His keen mind and senses captured the presence of traces of turbidity in the distribution of the ubiquitous Yuan Magnetic Power and the dark zodiac spiritual power.

"But the turbid air here seems to be very different from the turbid air in Mani Kingdom."

The doubts and incomprehensions that I had had were further deepened here.

The turbid air in the deep underground world is exactly the same as the turbid air carried by Ancestor Ming Yuan. It looks [-]% similar to the turbid air in the Mani Kingdom, but it is completely different on the inside.

If we make a simple summary——

The turbid Qi of the Mani Kingdom is very active and is incompatible with the spiritual Qi. The collision of the two is like ice water dripping into a boiling oil pan, causing a violent reaction in an instant.

Especially among the 24 demon caves where the turbid energy is the most concentrated, even the Jindan Patriarch with his vast and powerful magic power cannot stay there for long.

But the turbid air in the deepest parts of Mo Yuan, the underground world, gives people a lazy and lifeless feeling.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

The escaping light passed across the sky, but the turbid air had almost no reaction, and it didn't seem like it was stimulated.

The turbid air and spiritual energy that appear to be incompatible with each other in the outside world show a harmonious coexistence in the underground world.

"What on earth is going on? Is it possible that there are different types of turbid qi?"

Zhang Yao was puzzled.

He tried to ask Ancestor Ming Yuan, but as expected, the latter also had no idea what to ask, so he could only suppress this question in his heart for the time being.

As the two of them continued to escape the light, more changes began to appear.

In the dark and endless underground world, light began to appear, and it was not just a speck of light, but a large area of ​​gleaming light.

Fluorescent moss, fireflies-like bugs, underground crystals shining with rainbow lights, huge mushrooms that are constantly expanding and contracting, flat creatures that look like strange fish cruising in mid-air, and some weird plants and animals... …

With a cursory sweep of his spiritual mind, Zhang Yao discovered no less than hundreds of species of living beings, which opened his eyes and couldn't help but sigh:
"What fellow Taoist said is absolutely correct."

"In this extremely deep and vast space, there is indeed a world of its own, filled with beauty and beauty."

After observing with his spiritual mind, he also roughly understood some of the mysteries of the underground world.

Many creatures in the underground world, without exception, have turbid air remaining in their bodies, which is already the source of their lives.

Once you are caught by the black tide and leave the deepest layer, it is equivalent to cutting off the source of turbid air. The end result is either death in the black tide or distortion under the influence of the black tide.

"Fellow Daoist, be careful."

Ancestor Ming Yuan’s expression showed a bit of solemnity:

"After we get here, the road ahead won't be very smooth."

"The underground world is also full of various dangers, and there are also some bloodthirsty native creatures, the stronger ones of which are even comparable to those in the Golden Core stage."

"Especially when the Black Tide breaks out, some creatures in the deepest layers will turn into Black Evil Beasts, and they will often become even more violent!"

Zhang Yao nodded solemnly and said:

"Don't worry, fellow Taoist, I will be careful."......

As Ancestor Ming Yuan said:
The large-scale appearance of underground creatures heralds the coming danger.

Especially since they come from the surface, their aura is particularly eye-catching like a torch in the dark night, attracting all kinds of dangerous creatures to attack them continuously.

After several hours:
"Boom!" "Boom!"

The two rays of light fled frantically, and a large group of Hu Feng-shaped flying insects behind them circled in place for a while and left after seeing that they couldn't catch up.

"call……"

Zhang Yao and Ancestor Mingyuan noticed this scene and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and slowed down their escape slightly.

At this moment, both of them were in a bit of a state of embarrassment, especially Ancestor Ming Yuan, even his clothes were in tatters.

"This underground world is indeed too dangerous!"

There was a trace of lingering fear on Zhang Yao's face.

The two traveled thousands of miles and fought more than a dozen fierce battles. At the most dangerous time, they were besieged by more than a dozen violent black evil beasts and underground ferocious beasts, and they almost suffered serious injuries.

Fortunately, both of them were very strong, and by working together, they were able to travel thousands of miles without any danger and reach the depths of the underground world.

"Not long after you were promoted to the Golden Core stage, fellow Taoist, you actually managed to travel across the underground world and reach the Zhuoxiu tribe. It's really amazing!"

Zhang Yao looked at Ancestor Mingyuan with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

With his strength comparable to that of the late Golden Core, it was so embarrassing to cross the underground world. I really don’t know how the Ancestor of Ming Yuan succeeded back then.

"Back then it was just a gamble. If I hadn't been lucky and successful, I wouldn't be where I am today."

Ancestor Mingyuan waved his hand and said:

"But it's also possible that my strength was not strong back then, my aura was weak, and I didn't attract so many black evil beasts and underground ferocious beasts."

"It's quite possible."

Zhang Yao nodded thoughtfully, and then asked:
"But we didn't seem to see any spiritual objects or rare treasures along the way?"

The first and second sections of Moyuan can be said to be treasure places full of spiritual objects and numerous rare treasures.

In the extremely deep underground world, it stands to reason that the rare spiritual objects and treasures of various dark animal signs should be more numerous and of a higher level.

But they traveled thousands of miles across the land, but saw almost no spiritual objects or rare treasures.

"Ha ha……"

Ancestor Mingyuan smiled and said:

"Have you forgotten what I said?"

When Zhang Yao heard this, his eyes suddenly flashed:
"The Zhuoxiu tribe...could it be that all the rare treasures and spiritual objects here have been looted by them?"

"good."

Ancestor Mingyuan said:

"Even in the deepest parts of Mo Yuan, the birth and growth of various spiritual objects and rare treasures will take a long time."

"And the Zhuoxiu tribe knows how precious these things are, and will regularly send people to sweep the underground world, rarely leaving any fish that slip through the net."

"I see……"

Zhang Yao heard this and said thoughtfully:

"No wonder Fellow Taoist said before that as long as the Jindan cultivator enters the extremely deep underground world, he will definitely not be able to avoid the Zhuoxiu tribe."

"In addition to becoming a evil master, as long as you want to gain benefits at a very deep level, you can't avoid the Zhuoxiu tribe!"

"Fellow Taoist is right."

Ancestor Mingyuan smiled slightly and said:

"This place is very close to the territory of the Zhuoxiu tribe, probably only a few hundred miles away."

"Let's keep going!"

"it is good!"

Zhang Yao responded, and together with Ancestor Ming Yuan, he slightly accelerated the speed of escaping light.

As the two of them continued to go deeper, the concentration of the turbid air around them also increased significantly, and the two of them also felt a little uncomfortable.

No matter how dull and dead the turbid air is, it is still a force that is naturally opposed to the spiritual energy. It will have some impact on immortal cultivators like them.

"Daoist Qingxu."

On the way to escape, Ancestor Mingyuan suddenly spoke with his spiritual thoughts:

"Time was tight before, so I couldn't tell you many things in detail."

"Now we are very close to the Zhuoxiu tribe. Hundreds of miles around have been specially cleaned up by them. There is basically no danger."

"I can also tell you in detail about the Zhuoxiu tribe."

Hearing this, Zhang Yao suddenly showed a hint of interest and said:
"Appreciate further details."

"Um……"

Ancestor Mingyuan pondered for a moment and then said:

"Actually, I don't know much about the Zhuoxiu tribe in the underground world, but I still know some basic information."

"This tribe is called the 'Wujin Tribe'. There are many strong men in the tribe and they are very powerful. They are the undisputed overlords of the underground world and occupy the best area."

"It is difficult to know how long they have lived in the underground world, and their cultural customs, living habits and other aspects are completely different from the surface humans..."

Zhang Yao listened patiently to his introduction, and when he had finished speaking, he suddenly said:

"Fellow Taoist just said that they call themselves the 'Wujin Tribe'."

"In addition to their tribe, are there other Zhuoxiu tribes in the world?"
