Chapter 163 Building Momentum! Treasures on the Dou Qi Continent
Within Ye Ming's power-enhancing immortal aperture, the two energies of heaven and earth completely returned to calm, without any further turmoil.
Golden light enveloped Ye Ming, continuously increasing the Dao marks on his body.
This also means that the first tribulation in his immortal aperture has completely passed.
A single tribulation can add 750 Dao marks to a Gu Immortal. Combined with the Dao marks in the Dao Mark Sealing Stone that Ye Ming refined before, the number of Dao marks on his body now far exceeds 7,000.
Even a typical seventh-rank Gu Immortal doesn't have as many Dao marks as he does.
Dao traces can increase the power of corresponding Dao-type Gu worms. It is precisely because he possesses so many Dao traces that he can unleash even more terrifying power from his body of strength-type Gu worms and successfully overcome this tribulation.
A moment later, the golden light on Ye Ming's body dissipated, and he quietly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in his deep eyes.
"The tribulation has passed, and we now have a considerable amount of time to make other preparations."
With a murmur, Ye Ming looked at the immortal aperture that had absorbed enough of the two energies of heaven and earth, and with a wave of his hand, he dispersed all the Gu worm array that he had set up.
The dense, cloud-like swarms of Gu worms scattered in all directions, then flew down to various locations within the Immortal Aperture.
Although he did not find this tribulation particularly difficult, this was only because of his own formidable combat strength.
If it were any other Gu Immortal, which of the following tribulations could be easily dealt with: the lightning tribulation, the ancient beast tribulation comparable to a seventh-rank Gu Immortal, and the final mental demon tribulation that disrupts one's mind?
This is the tribulation of the Ten Absolute Bodies. If it were an ordinary Gu Immortal, even if he barely survived, the resources in his own blessed land would be completely destroyed.
Ye Ming shook his head, deciding to stop thinking about these things.
With a wave of his hands, the entire immortal aperture rapidly shrank into a single point, falling back into its original position within his body.
Without the protection of the Immortal Aperture, his body reappeared in the center of the Monster Mountain Range.
Looking at the shattered earth before him, he showed no hesitation and directly opened the gate to the Fox Fairy Blessed Land, slowly walking inside.
Deep within the palace of the Fox Fairy Blessed Land, Ye Ming sat cross-legged on a stone platform, sensing the condition of his various clones.
In order to complete the task assigned by Ye Ming, Ye Gucheng, who infiltrated the Soul Palace, and Chen Ping'an, who infiltrated the Pill Tower, kept targeting the middle and high-level members of the two forces and framing them.
Meanwhile, the rumor spread throughout the Central Continent that the highest level of the Pill Tower possessed ninth-grade pills containing the key to becoming an emperor.
With Ye Gucheng and Chen Ping'an using their methods and deliberately pushing things along, all the major forces in the Central Continent, both openly and secretly, have begun to converge on Saint Pill City.
Meanwhile, Xu Qi'an, who was in the Black Corner Region, wrote down the information about the Fallen Heart Flame and the ancient Tuoshe Emperor's cave contained in the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower and distributed it throughout the entire Black Corner Region.
This booklet details the function and structure of the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower, as well as the opportunity to become an emperor, a wisp of primordial energy, and the imperial elixir contained within the ancient Tuoshe Emperor's cave below.
Moreover, within the cave of the ancient emperor Tuoshe, there are imperial-level cultivation techniques left behind by the ancient emperor Tuoshe, as well as countless rare and precious materials.
Obtaining just one treasure can lead to a qualitative leap in one's cultivation level.
Tuoshe Ancient Emperor was Emperor Yan Chengdi, who was devoured by a strange fire. In the cave, there are all the strange fires on the Strange Fire Ranking.
The booklet contained nine parts truth and one part falsehood, causing a stir throughout the entire Black Corner Region.
Long Aotian, in cooperation with Xu Qi'an, pushed the entire wave to an even greater peak.
Sensing the actions of his several clones, Ye Ming thought it was quite good.
He doesn't treat everyone like fools. The method is simple; anyone with a brain can deduce that someone is stirring things up.
However, Xu Qi'an's booklet was very realistic, and the older the family, the more they could understand that what was written in it was correct.
As for the lone cultivators, or those who hadn't guessed it, how could they resist the temptation of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Cave?
Humans are always full of contradictions.
Even though they knew they had no chance of getting what they wanted, they couldn't help but wonder, what if they could?
What if I'm lucky enough to gain the favor of Thoshkudi and inherit his legacy?
What if everyone's fighting each other, and I manage to snag a bargain?
Those with some ability think they can take advantage of the situation, while those without ability think they are incredibly lucky.
It is precisely this mentality that leads them to become pawns in the schemes of others seeking personal gain, caught up in the prevailing trends.
Ye Ming didn't care whether Canaan Academy could withstand this attack. To him, no matter what the final result was, the ancient emperor's cave was unlikely to be opened.
At the very least, the Xiao family, who possessed one of the keys to the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's cave, was still located in a small city called Wutan in the Jiama Empire.
Xiao Zhan, the patriarch of the Xiao family who controls the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, is still only a Great Dou Master. He has no way of getting involved in this kind of thing.
Not to mention, there's an old dragon guarding the entrance.
Even if it's opened, it doesn't matter. Once he's collected enough living souls, he can take advantage of the situation.
"With this booklet out, the eight ancient clans and the major hidden magical beast clans should be getting restless."
Ye Ming stroked his chin, thinking to himself, "The entire continent is in chaos. The number of living souls should be enough to gather in a few more days."
Although the strength of the several clones is not at the top level on this continent, they still possess the power to stir up trouble.
The task of collecting living souls is best left to them.
The ninth-grade pills from the Pill Tower couldn't attract the Soul Palace to come out in full force, but the news of the Canaan Academy's troubles made people envious.
Two pieces of news, one big and one small, true and false, are enough to throw the entire Dou Qi Continent into chaos.
"Right now, there are only two things to do: kill the alien race's buff and find treasures on the Dou Qi Continent."
Over the past six months, the alien races and the human race that entered the Dou Qi Continent have occasionally clashed, with both sides suffering considerable losses.
He sent several clones to search for the alien races, but they found very little.
This is also the main purpose of the various clones, which is to infiltrate the various forces arranged by Ye Ming.
"The matter of killing the alien race needs to be brought up again."
"In addition, there are the rare and precious materials on the Dou Qi Continent..."
In the Dou Qi Continent, the most famous are the strange flames on the Strange Flame Ranking.
"Xu Qi'an cultivates the Burning Technique, so let's help him get his hands on the Strange Flame. If the Fallen Heart Flame and the Sea Heart Flame are involved in the battle at Canaan Academy this time, they'll have a great chance."
"Keep an eye on the Three Thousand Burning Flames of the Pill Tower. Lin Dong can retrieve the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, but we still need to get our hands on the location map of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame..."
Ye Ming paid attention to all the strange flames on the Strange Flame Ranking that had a traceable pattern. Some might be a bit more difficult, but with the help of the plot, it shouldn't be a big problem.
"The Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit should be useful to Long Aotian's dragon bloodline. It can help him make some plans with Zi Yan's help. And that old dragon is also a good helper."
"The remaining treasures that are still passable are the Bodhi Ancient Tree and the Nine Profound Golden Thunder."
The Nine Profound Golden Thunder is a rare and wondrous object that has a chance of being born when a ninth-grade elixir is formed, so we will not discuss it for now.
The Bodhi Ancient Tree is located deep within the desolate ancient domain, and news of it has not yet spread, so it is still possible to make some plans.
Inside the palace, countless thoughts collided in Ye Ming's mind, and he processed all the information.
After a while, Ye Ming finally let out a breath of stale air, temporarily putting these matters out of his mind.
He currently needs to create an avatar to take Lin Dong's place. Then, he will send Lin Dong to the Tagor Desert to seize the fragments of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame Map and the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame from Hai Bodong.
As for himself, he will be free to search for alien races while heading to the desolate ancient domain to seize the opportunity of the Bodhi Ancient Tree.
After finishing everything, Ye Ming left the Fox Immortal's Blessed Land Palace and used the Hundred Refinements Incarnation Technique to refine a new clone.
……
Canaan College, Conference Hall.
Su Qian looked at the elders sitting in front of him, pointed to the small booklet on the table, and said with a gloomy face:
"Have you found out who's spreading these rumors?! They're trying to destroy Canaan Academy!"
The elders sitting around the round table all had frosty expressions and remained silent.
Su Qian took a deep breath and felt a slight pain in her forehead.
Even if we find out who distributed this booklet now, it's of no use.
The news has been released, and the momentum has begun. The power of Canaan Academy alone cannot silence the voices of the people on this continent.
He kept stroking his white beard, his brows furrowed, pondering a solution.
This time, it is a true calamity for Canaan Academy.
If those people are allowed to enter the Heavenly Flame Qi Refining Tower, it goes without saying that the very foundation of Canaan Academy will be destroyed.
Moreover, once this is done, Canaan Academy will have no place to survive on the continent.
He rubbed off a handful of his beard, and after a long while, he slowly stood up and solemnly addressed the elders below: "From today onwards, all students of Canaan Academy shall cease all outings and guard Canaan Academy."
"Furthermore, issue a call to action for Canaan Academy, informing past successful Canaan students that the academy needs their assistance!"
"Also, find the Dean as soon as possible! This is probably the biggest crisis Canaan Academy has ever faced!"
The elders looked at each other, their hearts filled with worry.
An elder from the outer court spoke up: "Elder, this news is too big. I'm afraid all the powerful figures on the entire continent will come out in droves."
He hesitated for a long time before finally speaking, "With the strength of our academy, I'm afraid we can't stop them!"
Upon hearing this, many elders nodded secretly, clearly agreeing with the viewpoint.
Su Qian gave the elders a cold look and shouted sternly, "How can you teach students if you surrender before even fighting?"
"Are you really going to show your cowardice in front of all the students, telling them that this is the teacher who has been guiding them all along?"
"A teacher who's too afraid to face the enemy even before seeing them?"
The elder's face instantly turned rosy, and he finally sat down.
Seeing this, Su Qian looked around at everyone and encouraged them, saying, "The academy has its own foundation. Canaan Academy has stood strong to this day, and it is not something that a few petty people can covet."
He then changed the subject, saying, "All those people want is the Heavenly Flame Qi Refining Tower."
"But even I dare not venture deep into that magma world below. If things are beyond our control, it's alright to let them go in."
His expression softened, and he sighed, "Our students come from all over the country and from all sorts of powerful forces."
"If things really get to the point of no return, take those students and leave through the outer courtyard passage."
After saying this, Su Qian sat down in the chair, looking much older.
He waved his hand, and the other elders, seeing this, all got up and left.
After a while, a girl of about twelve or thirteen years old, dressed in white, quietly pushed open the door and came in.
She walked behind Su Qian and reached out her small hand to massage his shoulders.
A smile appeared on Su Qian's tired face. He patted the little hand on her shoulder and said softly, "Little Zi Yan, haven't you always wanted to go out and play with your Black Dragon brother?"
"These next few days, get ready and go out with him for a stroll, a walk, and some fun!"
"He's very strong, strong enough to protect you. Besides, you both share the same bloodline, so perhaps you can find your family."
Upon hearing Su Qian's words, Zi Yan immediately put her hands on her hips and said, "Old man, don't you want me anymore?!"
"Hmph, I know everything. Bad guys are trying to steal our academy's treasures!"
"I'm not leaving! I'm staying with you to take care of them!"
With her delicate nose slightly upturned, she tilted her head and said, "Besides, Brother Black Dragon already said he'll stay with me and protect the academy together!"
Upon hearing this, Su Qian blinked, feeling his eyes welling up with tears. He suddenly looked up, his eyes widening.
He took a deep breath, turned around, hugged Zi Yan in his arms, and whispered, "But this has nothing to do with it."
Zi Yan looked up at Su Qian's slightly reddened eyes and gently wiped them for him.
"But I just want to stay with you!"
Upon hearing this, Su Qian felt a slight sting in his nose. He patted Zi Yan on the back and solemnly instructed her, "I'll allow you to stay at the academy, but you must promise me that you'll stay by your Black Dragon brother's side at all times!"
Black Corner Region, Maple City.
Inside the city lord's mansion, a handsome man who looked to be only around thirty years old stood with his left hand behind his back and a small booklet in his right hand.
His slightly thin lips were pressed tightly together, giving him a cold and stern look, but it was precisely this that made him even more charming.
He wore a blue alchemist's robe with an ancient medicine cauldron emblem painted on the chest. The cauldron had six golden lines, symbolizing his rank as a sixth-grade alchemist. On the back of the robe was a finely crafted character "枫" (Maple).
He has read this booklet at least ten times since he received it.
At this moment, excitement flickered in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, making him look somewhat gloomy.
"I knew it! I knew there was a strange fire at Canaan Academy!"
He murmured to himself, then chuckled, "What Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Cave? It's nothing but a trick to deceive people."
"But this Fallen Heart Flame is roughly the same as the information I investigated."
"Regardless of who's behind this, I, Han Feng, am willing to lend you a hand!"
A flash of blue flame suddenly appeared in his cold eyes as he called out towards the door, "Someone come here!"
A subordinate at the Douling level rushed in, knelt on one knee, and respectfully asked, "Medicine King, what are your orders?"
Han Feng stood with his hands behind his back and said to him, "Take my token and quickly go and invite the Golden and Silver Elders, the Sect Master of the Earth Flame Sect, the Sect Master of the Eight Doors, and the Sect Master of the Blood Sect to come here."
"Just say that I, Han Feng, have something important to discuss with you."
He was taking out a jade pendant from his storage ring, preparing to hand it to his subordinate, when he suddenly stopped.
"These old guys, each one ruthless and arrogant..."
His eyes darted around, "You may leave!"
"I'll go and invite them myself!"
