It is a fact that Xue Nether took his body and Zhou Yang died.
However, the reality is not that simple.
What Zhou Yang did not tell Taoist Qingyang and Xue Nether was that while the "Qianyang True Fire" was refining the Blood Nether Soul, it also allowed him to fuse and receive some of Blood Nether's memory fragments, and after the Blood Nether Soul was refined, There was still a very small part of Wuzhu's soul power that was absorbed and fused by him.
Although these memory fragments and the power of the ownerless soul that he fused only accounted for less than one percent of the total, their quality was extremely high, and they originated from Xue Nether, a ninth-level golden elixir demon cultivator.
By fusing the memory fragments of Xue Netherworld, Zhou Yang did not know the hiding place of Xuemoluo that he had always wanted to know, but he did know the location of Xue Netherworld's treasure.
It turned out that during the previous battle with Taoist Qingyang at the ruins of the Yin Puppet Sect, Xue Youming had a premonition that he might be in trouble today.
Therefore, before he escaped, he hid the storage ring containing his life savings and the storage ring confiscated from "Master Jinguang" somewhere on the oasis ruins, waiting for him to seize it. After success, find an opportunity to go back and get it back.
Since the effect of the "Magic Subjugation Technique" on his body had not disappeared at that time, and with the help of the super invisible and breath-containing ability brought by the transformation into a blood ape monster, these small actions of his were not discovered by Taoist Qingyang and Cao Wenjin.
Later, he self-exploded the golden elixir, and his body was blown into the air. Taoist Qingyang and Cao Wenjin thought that all the stored magic weapons on his body had been blown up, but they never thought that he had hidden the things long ago.
It's just that although Zhou Yang learned the location of the treasure by fusing the memory fragments of Blood Netherworld, he currently has no idea of obtaining the treasure.
This is of course not because he has the ability to predict the future and knows that Cao Wenjin will send people to monitor him, but that the two storage instruments have the imprint of spiritual consciousness left by the monks in the Golden Core Stage. With his current cultivation level, even if those two storage instruments are Even if you get a storage artifact in your hands, it is impossible to erase the imprint of the golden elixir stage monk's spiritual consciousness inside and take out the treasure.
If this was the case, he would naturally not be in a hurry to go back and retrieve these two storage instruments.
Anyway, only he knows the location of the two stored magic weapons. It is much safer to leave them where they are than to take them out and put them on him or in the Zhou family's treasure house.
When he opens the Zi Mansion in the future and is promoted to become a monk in the Zi Mansion, and has the strength to erase the spiritual imprint of the golden elixir stage monks, it will not be too late to retrieve the two storage magic weapons.
As for why he was suddenly confident that he could successfully open the Zifu in the future, and that he had the strength to erase the imprint of spiritual consciousness left by the monks in the Golden Core stage during the Zifu stage, it must be thanks to the power of the masterless souls that he integrated and absorbed.
When the Blood Nether captured Zhou Yang's body, although it almost annihilated and devoured his soul consciousness, it also gave him a blessing in disguise, thus expanding the consciousness sea in his upper dantian more than ten times.
After all, Xue Nether is a ninth-level golden elixir monk. Even if only his soul is left after his golden elixir self-destructs, the nature of the soul is much stronger than that of any purple-level monk.
Therefore, when he seized Zhou Yang's body, he had already used his powerful power of the soul to expand Zhou Yang's sea of consciousness, and was ready to open up the Zi Mansion for the soul to live in, so that once he succeeded in seizing Zhou Yang's body, he could quickly conquer Zhou Yang's body. The mana cultivation level of Yang's body has been upgraded to the Zifu stage.
It was just that he had just finished about half of this work when he triggered the backlash of the "Qian Yang Treasure Body" and was burned to death by the "Qian Yang True Fire".
Although Xue Netherworld was burned to pieces, his achievements in expanding Zhou Yang's sea of consciousness are still there. Through his efforts, Zhou Yang has almost completed half of the work of opening up the Zi Mansion.
Moreover, he could clearly "see" the process of Xue Nether's expansion of his sea of consciousness. It was as if someone had demonstrated to him step by step the process of opening up the Purple Mansion, and the demonstration was done using his own template.
At the same time, the power of the Masterless Soul that he released after being refined through the fusion and absorption of the Blood Nether Soul, which was originally far beyond the consciousness of ordinary immortal cultivators of the same level, has once again been greatly enhanced and is almost as good as Chen Ping'an. The kind of senior ninth-level foundation-building monk who failed once to open up the Purple Mansion.
In this case, when his cultivation reaches the ninth level of foundation building, even without the help of a treasure like "Purple Heart Chalcedony" to assist in opening the Purple Mansion, his success rate in opening the Purple Mansion will be at least 70%!
In this way, it is no wonder that he is confident that after opening the Zi Mansion, he can retrieve the two storage magic weapons hidden by Blood Netherworld and erase the spiritual brand of the Golden Core Stage monks in them.
After receiving such great benefits, it's no wonder that Zhou Yang didn't dare to tell the truth. If he told the truth, how could he still have a share in the two storage instruments?
But Zhou Yang didn't know if it was an illusion. He always felt that Taoist Qingyang should have discovered something he had concealed. Even if he didn't discover that he had merged with the memory of Xue Netherworld, he should have discovered the mutation in his sea of consciousness. Yes, otherwise it would be impossible to say that he was destined to form a golden elixir and then visit Xuanyang Immortal Sect.
If you can't even successfully open the Zi Mansion, how can you talk about forming a golden elixir?
Of course, whether it was his illusion or whether Taoist Qingyang really discovered the change in his sea of consciousness, the other party left without delving into the matter. He just showed his attitude that he would not delve into the matter. No need to worry about this anymore.
A few days later, Zhou Yang returned to the Baisha River Oasis safely.
At this time, the news of the death of Blood Netherworld has not yet spread completely, but various cultivating families have received orders from Huang Shamen, asking monks from each family to form teams to conduct a net-like search. In addition, Huang Shamen's remaining purple All the monks from the Fu period were sent to various large oases to guard the area. Once there is news about the demon cultivators, they can immediately provide support as quickly as possible.
Therefore, when Zhou Yang returned to the Baishahe Oasis, he discovered that the number of foundation-building monks originally stationed in Ping'anfang City was now less than half, and even the ancestor of the Chen family had personally left the oasis to lead a search team.
"After Chen Ping'an successfully opened the Purple Mansion using the [Purple Heart Chalcedony] exchanged from Huangshamen, Old Ancestor Chen personally led the team to search the small oases around him. According to his old man, the magic cultivator also needs to know the intelligence from the outside. , so even if you hide it, you can’t always hide it in a deserted desert.”
In the Yuquan Building, after Zhou Yang came back, he came here first to meet his parents. At the same time, he also learned from his father Zhou Xuanhao about what had happened in the Baisha River Oasis Cultivation World for more than a year.
"Oh, Huang Shamen is actually willing to take out the precious [Purple Heart Chalcedony] for Chen Pingan to use?" Zhou Yang's expression changed, and he was quite surprised by the news told by his father Zhou Xuanhao.
Zhang Yunpeng made it very clear to him at the beginning that Huang Shamen would never sell treasures such as "Purple Heart Chalcedony" that would help open up the Purple Mansion to outsiders. So what is the situation now?
"It is said that the fallen Ancestor Jiang of Huangshamen specially bought it from the Immortal Cultivation Circle of Liuyun Continent, including the Foundation Establishment Pills obtained by the Liu family, and they all bought them together. Now everyone is spreading the rumor that Huangsha
There are still hundreds of foundation-building pills stored in the treasure house of the gate, so this time Huang Shamen asked people to leave the oasis to search for traces of the demon cultivators. Everyone was very active and there was not much resistance."
Zhou Xuanhao also heard Zhou Yang talk about Zhang Yunpeng's poaching. Now he understood his doubts and immediately told all the information he knew.
He has been stationed in Fangshi for a long time and is much better informed than Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang had the experience of traveling with Taoist Qingyang. When Zhou Xuanhao said this, he immediately understood the reason.
"That's it! Chen Ping'an is really lucky!"
"Old Ancestor Chen must be extremely happy now, right? Although the Chen family lost several foundation-building monks due to the invasion of demon cultivators, they also gained a Zifu monk. From a family perspective, it is definitely a huge profit.
!”
Zhou Yang sighed with envy on his face, and had to lament the Chen family's luck.
Previously, the Chen family lost several foundation-building monks. They all thought that the Chen family was about to decline. But who would have thought that in just a few years, the Chen family would have another Zifu monk, who became the Boundless Sand Sea cultivator.
The only immortal cultivating family in the immortal world with Shuangzi Mansion monks!
However, while Zhou Yang lamented the good luck of the Chen family, he also knew that one needs to be strong enough to seize luck.
The Chen family bumped into Huang Shamen and suddenly had the opportunity to obtain several copies of "Purple Heart Chalcedony" from the Immortal Cultivation World of Liuyun Continent. It was certainly a matter of luck, but if the ancestor of the Chen family hadn't reached the eighth level of the Purple Mansion, and was a
An extremely rare fourth-level high-grade alchemist, they really don't have any share of this opportunity.
Zhou Yang knew with his butt that the ancestor of the Chen family must have paid a huge price in order for Huang Shamenyun to give a piece of "Purple Heart Chalcedony" to Chen Pingan to open the Purple Mansion, and this price was definitely not
A small family like the Zhou family can afford it.
"However, Chen Ping'an's opening of the Zifu is also a good thing for our Zhou family. Doesn't he still owe our Zhou family a favor? The favors of the monks in the Zifu period are much more valuable than the favors of the monks in the foundation-building period!"
He thought about the favors Chen Ping'an had promised to owe for his daughter-in-law Zhou Yuanxia, and he felt a lot more mentally balanced.
The Chen family may have made a profit, but the Zhou family will not lose either.
When Zhou Yang was thinking about this, Zhou Xuanhao suddenly looked at him and said: "Yang'er, although due to the special period, the Chen family has not held a celebration for Chen Pingan's promotion to the Purple Mansion, but each family has sent people
I sent gifts to express my congratulations in the past, and although our Zhou family also sent gifts and congratulated me on behalf of my father, as the patriarch of the Zhou family, since you are back, it is best to pay a visit to Baituofeng in person!"
"What father said is that the child should go to White Camelback now." Zhou Yang nodded, having no objection to Zhou Xuanhao's suggestion.
Making friends with Chen Pingan is what the Zhou family has been doing all along. Now that Chen Pingan has successfully opened up the Zifu, they naturally cannot slack off in this regard.
Immediately, Zhou Yang picked a piece of the body of the "Earth Dragon Earthworm" from his storage bag and packed it as a gift. He took the gift directly to the White Camelback of the Chen family to visit Chen Ping'an.
