Chapter 709: Refining and returning to the spirit array
The dragon gave birth to nine sons, the fifth of whom was Taotie.
It has a goat head and a human face, and its belly contains the universe and eats all things.
The so-called Taotie is a genus of dragons, but as for its mythical beast, it is just a legend among mortals, or a name preferred by people of low status in the world of cultivation.
Miaohua looked at the huge ram's horn in front of him with shock. It was as if it penetrated the sky, and its eyes and nose were like those of a human. Only the huge mouth opened a tiny gap, which was as tall as a person. The mouth was jagged.
Toothless, there seemed to be endless darkness hidden within that tiny gap, making Miaohua's hair stand up involuntarily.
"What is hidden here is really a Taotie!" Miaohua was extremely frightened. She had previously described this Death Valley as a Taotie, but no matter how much Miaohua imagined, she could not imagine that there was actually a cave in this valley, and there was a divine beast hidden there.
.
Qin Xuan looked at it indifferently, "Well, it's a Taotie, not a divine beast, just a great demon in the Nascent Soul Realm!"
He spoke calmly, neither surprised nor happy.
Dragons and phoenixes are extremely rare in the world of cultivation, and are not as numerous as in Chinese legends.
In fact, dragons and phoenixes are ten thousand times stronger than humans when they are born. Furthermore, before dragons and phoenixes grow up, these two tribes are prohibited from leaving the group. Only adults can travel among the stars.
As for the terrifying existence of the Nine Dragonborn Sons in the eyes of others, Qin Xuan never paid attention to them.
The so-called nine sons born from a dragon are just the nine most powerful bloodlines among the dragons. The genus of dragons is common among the demon clans in the world of cultivation. And this Taotie is obviously not pure blood, otherwise he would not be buried.
Under thunder and calamity.
Qin Xuan's pupils turned blue, as if he could see through Taotie's body and saw the few thunder marks that had cut off Taotie's vitality and had not even dissipated for tens of thousands of years.
"Born to be a glutton, but buried in the second calamity." Qin Xuan sighed softly. The monster race is born with extraordinary talent, but the path of cultivation is more difficult than that of the human race. The more powerful the bloodline is, the easier it is to be damaged.
When Miaohua heard Qin Xuan's words, he couldn't help but be startled, "This Taotie perished in the second calamity?"
Qin Xuan nodded lightly. The demon has three calamities, namely returning to the ancestors, breaking through the realm, and attaining the Tao.
Returning to one's ancestors is just like this Taotie rebelling against his bloodline and becoming a true dragon, just like a dragon about to soar into the sky with clouds and rain and becoming a true dragon.
This is a great catastrophe. There are hundreds of millions of demons. It is incredible that one of them can successfully return to his ancestors.
As for breaking through the realm, demons with weak bloodline have not even encountered thunder tribulations before ascending to the fairy world, but like dragons and phoenixes, they experience one tribulation for each realm. Even dragons and phoenixes need to bathe in nine tribulations without dying and leave nine thunder marks in their bodies.
Overcome the great tribulation of becoming an immortal and ascend to the immortal land.
The final great catastrophe of attaining the Tao is the same as the great catastrophe of the human race's ascension. After surviving this tribulation, one can come to the immortal land and attain the Tao and become immortals.
Although this Taotie is not pure blood, he has encountered two calamities in the four realms of Qi training, golden elixir, god transformation, and Yuanying. This shows that his bloodline is also extraordinary. Even with Taotie's greedy nature, this second calamity is very likely to be a return to his ancestors.
Tribulation.
The years have passed so long that although thunder marks have been left behind, it is difficult to distinguish the type of disaster.
Just when Qin Xuan was spying on the Taotie, Qin Xuan's face suddenly shook and his eyes suddenly became sharp.
"presumptuous!"
He turned his head and looked at Miaohua.
Miaohua didn't know when greed appeared in her eyes, and she reached out to touch the pair of piercing horns of the Taotie.
This pair of ram's horns can be said to be a treasure of gluttony.
For tens of thousands of years, the flesh and blood of this Taotie has long been turned into fly ash, but the horns, as the hardest thing in the Taotie, will not decay.
Nowadays, the horns, demon pills, and real bones should be the most precious things in this Taotie.
However, the important thing is not that, but that this Taotie is both a physical death and an existence in the Nascent Soul realm. How can a cultivator who has masterfully transformed a golden elixir dare to do it rashly?
Qin Xuan's words were like thunder, and in an instant, the Miaohua turned pale.
Immediately, Miaohua's pupils shrank suddenly, "This Taotie has perished.
How can it still confuse my mind?"
Miaohua was in disbelief and even looked at the Taotie in horror.
At that moment, she unknowingly lost her mind and made such a rash move. Miaohua has always been cautious. It can be seen from the fact that she has not dared to step into this place for decades, and now she was silently...
Bewitched.
Qin Xuan looked at Miaohua's palm that had touched the horns, his eyes slightly cold.
Here, apart from this great demon that has been extinct for tens of thousands of years, there are also formations left by Yuanyang.
Qin Xuan's eyes became more intense, and the blue in his eyes was as bright as two green suns, burning brightly.
He looked at the spirit-refining formation under Taotie and said, "Yan'er, use your skills to protect your body!"
Qin Xuan glanced at Miaohua, who was still unaware of the impending disaster, and shook his head slightly.
Miaohua really thinks that the mountain-like earth and rocks that he has invested here for decades have disappeared? This place swallows everything around it every once in a while, but looking at this place, have you ever seen a grain of sand?
Although Taotie dies, its true bones are immortal, its demonic elixir is not destroyed, and it can even swallow everything around it. Even its pair of horns have the power to confuse people's hearts.
Yuanyang must have been stronger than this Taotie at the beginning, and the spirit-refining array left behind is a real great array, which is also rare among the sixth-grade. For tens of thousands of years, this great array has been immortal, refining everything, and feeding back this statue.
Taotie corpse.
Perhaps it's not that this Death Valley has never been discovered by anyone, but that most of the people in Jinru are dead and fed back by the Spirit Refining Array.
At this moment, Miaohua suddenly screamed. There were no flames around her body, but the protective essence around her seemed to have melted, and her skin suddenly turned fiery red.
Not only Miao Hua, but Qin Yan'er too, with beads of sweat dripping from her forehead, as if she was in a furnace.
It was Qin Xuan who felt as if his flesh, flesh, and muscles were on fire, burning with extreme pain. Fortunately, his body was strong and he could suppress the refining power.
Then, Qin Xuan took one step, but stepped into a formation pattern.
He tapped the dark purple formations under his feet with his toes, and with this step, the burning pain in his body disappeared.
Qin Xuan's expression returned to normal, and then he stepped on it again, followed the formation pattern, and made seals with his hands. At this moment, he seemed to be integrated with the formation pattern.
"Qing Emperor, save me!" Miaohua couldn't bear it any longer. Her skin was burned through like paper, revealing flesh and blood burning like sparks.
Qin Xuan ignored him and continued to follow the formation pattern.
His eyes seemed to see through everything, and their green light became even brighter.
Until the wonderful body-protecting essence was refined, and even the golden elixir was about to be refined, Qin Xuan finally stopped at one place.
This place is not the center of the formation, but it feels like stepping on the core of the entire formation.
Qin Xuan stepped forward, one step at a time, as if it contained a hundred thousand tons of huge force. Stepping on the dark purple formation was like stepping on gold steel.
boom!
With a deafening explosion, the dark purple formation at Qin Xuan's feet broke. Immediately, the entire Refining Objects and Soul Returning Formation shattered inch by inch like a spider web, and finally dispersed into nothingness.
