Celestial being

Time passed little by little, and more than half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

In the courtyard at the bottom of the Xiaojia Lake, an ancient black tree was stirring, with two huge black round cocoons hanging on it like fruit.

Suddenly, with a hissing sound, a huge hole opened in one of the black round cocoons, and a figure fell out, but it was the ancestor of the Xiao family.

His eyes were slightly confused, and he just lay on the ground, motionless.

"Is this...a failure?" Not far away, Xiying sat cross-legged. Seeing this scene, he felt a little surprised.

But before she could let go of her spiritual sense to explore, she saw a blurry ghost shadow flying out from the immortal tree, landing on the Xiao family ancestor, and blending in in a flash.

The next moment, the ancestor of the Xiao family who was lying on the ground took a deep breath and got up from the ground.

The expression on his face seemed to be in pain, confusion, and unwillingness. Finally, he became calm. He turned around, bowed to Yuan Ming, and said:

"Meet the master."

Seeing this, Xiying raised the corner of her mouth and couldn't help but reveal a smile.

The next moment, I suddenly saw a long sword wrapped around a vine on the immortal tree. It suddenly struck straight at the shoulder of the ancestor of the Xiao family.

He actually stood firmly on the spot and did not dodge at all.

There was a "chi" sound.

The arm of the ancestor of the Xiao family was cut off at shoulder level by the sword and fell to the ground.

Xiying frowned and looked at it, and saw that there was no blood flowing out from the fracture of his shoulder. Only slender vines grew out on their own, entangled with each other, and finally condensed into an arm that was exactly the same as before.

At the same time, a human face emerged from the undead tree, speaking human words:

"The strength of my tree puppet is incomparable to that of the immortal tree demon, but the magical powers are similar. His physical body is also immortal to a certain extent. I can also give up that physical body at any time, recall his soul, and condense it for him again. A new body just takes a lot of time."

"It's pretty good to be able to do this." Xiying said.

"With the Soul Falling Rune here, my control over them is more powerful than the undead tree demon's control over the Sanjue Old Man and the others." The human face on the immortal tree continued.

The implication is that it is absolutely impossible for his tree puppet to rebel against him like Qiye did.

Xing Rong's cultivation level was higher and the refining time took longer, but it was only two days later than the ancestor of the Xiao family.

However, at the same time that Xing Rong's refining was completed, Yuan Ming received an unexpected happy event.

After the ancestor of the Xiao family absorbed the original power of the immortal tree sent by Yuan Ming, the bottleneck of the Nascent Soul that had not been broken through for many years began to loosen.

Yuan Ming immediately ordered him to try to break through.

The ancestor of the Xiao family was greatly surprised, and immediately took a Five Elements Ningying Dan that he had purchased many years ago at a huge cost, swallowed it in one gulp, and then began to try to break through.

Yuan Ming's spiritual mind was connected to it, and he could actually feel the various insights he had when he broke through the realm.

The feeling was as if the roots of the tree were clearly sensing the new shoots bursting out from the treetops. It was very strange.

The ancestor of the Xiao family used the formation to enter the Tao. When he broke through the realm, the "Nine Palaces Formation Heart Technique" in the body started to operate on its own. The movement of the mana in the body was like the operation of the formation, which was very regulated.

As his understanding continued to deepen, the magic power in his body began to escape uncontrollably toward the outside of his body. Arrays condensed by magic power began to appear outside his body, condensing into overlapping light and shadows.

At this moment, Yuan Ming's mind seemed to be pulled by him, and he was comprehending the way of formation together with him.

If the original mana reserve of the ancestor of the Xiao family was not enough to support such an understanding of the magic circle, then the understanding would be cut off and his path to breaking through the realm would also be cut off.

It is precisely because of this that he has never forced to break through the shackles and attack the Nascent Soul realm.

However, with Yuan Ming's Immortal Tree God as the foundation, he naturally does not have such problems. The majestic magic power and vitality support him to continuously comprehend and evolve the magic circle.

Until three days later, the magic formations overlapped one after another, began to merge with each other, and finally merged into a large formation with complicated patterns.

As the ancestor of the Xiao family opened his eyes, the magic circle began to shrink and condense, turning into a miniature and returning to his dantian.

At the same time, the extremely rich energy of heaven and earth in the surrounding world began to gather towards the center and rushed into the body of the ancestor of the Xiao family.

Yuan Ming pushed the soul of the ancestor of the Xiao family to quickly merge with the mana pouring into the body, and soon turned into a Nascent Soul villain and returned to the sea of ​​consciousness of the ancestor of the Xiao family.

At this point, he successfully broke through the realm and officially entered the Nascent Soul realm.

In the next half month, while Yuan Ming assisted the ancestor of the Xiao family to stabilize his cultivation, he also combined his insights to understand the true meaning of the array in his dantian, which was composed of hundreds of arrays.

His formation cultivation also increased accordingly, reaching an unprecedented new height.

"Thank you, Master." The ancestor of the Xiao family bowed to Yuan Ming, feeling a little complicated after all.

Yuan Ming didn't care either. After putting it into the space of Stealing Heaven Cauldron, he regained his human body.

He raised his hand and waved, and strands of magic power burst out from between his fingers, weaving and condensing in the void, and soon turned into a red magic circle with a radius of several feet.

Around the magic circle, eight fire dragons rose up, with blazing flames in their mouths, spitting towards the center of the magic circle.

It was very similar to the Eight Directions Fire Python Formation used by the ancestors of the Xiao family, but Yuan Ming was even more powerful when he used it, transforming it into a more powerful Eight Directions Fire Dragon Formation.

"The way you wave your hands to form a formation is already at the level of everyone in the formation." Xiying sincerely admired.

Yuan Ming's current growth rate and astonishing learning ability even made her feel a little frightened just looking at him.

"The number of formations that I can cast at will is less than one finger. Only by continuing to understand and study can I truly be considered master of the formations." Yuan Ming waved his hand and put away the formations, smiling.

What he didn't say was that the reason why he didn't understand a lot of formations was because he focused more on the restrictions in the Heaven-Stealing Cauldron after he understood all the formations.

In this short period of one month, he completed ten restrictions in succession.

Yuan Ming felt that his connection with the Heaven Stealing Cauldron was getting closer and closer. Although the power of the soul in Yuanying had not become significantly stronger, his spiritual perception became more and more acute.

"The time agreed between the Xiao family and the Senluo Sect is not far away. We have to leave for Xiaoyin Mountain." After packing everything, Yuan Ming said.

"Well, you sent Xing Rong back to the Senluo Sect earlier. The day should be coming soon. It's really time for us to set off." Xiying nodded.

Immediately, the two left Honglian Island and set off for Zhuhaifang City.

…

Just when the ancestor of the Xiao family had just begun to break through Nascent Soul, he was in the southern region of Southern Border, in front of a mountain range shrouded in thick fog.

A dazzling light flew across the sky and landed directly in front of the fog, revealing Xing Rong's figure.

He looked at the fog in front of him, suddenly turned his palm and took out a token, waved it in front of him, and the fog in the valley immediately dispersed to both sides, revealing a road leading to the tall mountain gate.

The mountain gate seems to be made of black iron, with a dark appearance. The doorposts on both sides are carved with all kinds of things in the world, including flowers, plants, pavilions, and immortals, monsters, and beasts.

There is a stone lion statue in front of the doorpost. When they saw Xing Rong approaching, they all lowered their heads like living creatures and uttered human words.

"We sincerely welcome Ancestor Xing back to our clan."

Xing Rong didn't stop or react. He just walked straight through the mountain gate and went straight to the main hall on the top of the mountain.

When he arrived at the door of the hall, before he could open the door, he heard a slightly hoarse voice coming from inside.

"Junior Brother Xing is back? Come in, I wonder if this trip will be fruitful?"

Xing Rong immediately walked into the main hall and looked up to see a middle-aged man in black robe sitting at the head of the main hall. He had a hawk-like nose and wolf-like eyes.

He is Luo Yongqi, the ancestor of the late Nascent Soul of the Senluo Sect, who is also Xing Rong’s nominal senior brother.

"Senior Brother Luo." Xing Rong arched his hands towards him with a normal expression, then turned to look at the three people sitting below.

The person sitting on the left hand side of Senior Brother Luo, wearing a dark purple robe, with sword-shaped eyebrows and tiger eyes, and a calm aura that only belongs to a superior person, is Xiying's father Xi Zheng.

Sitting opposite him was a tall, mysterious man with pale skin, like a stone statue. His eyes were gray-white, like a blind man, but between his eyebrows, there was a The eyes are purple, deep and ghostly.

Beside Xizheng, Ximen Rui was drinking tea. When he saw Xing Rong looking at him, he also put down the tea cup and smiled at him and nodded.

"What did that old guy Xiao Fangcheng say? Did he agree to trade with us?" Luo Yongqi asked directly without any intention of greeting.

"Haha, he was crazy about breaking through to the Nascent Soul. As soon as he heard that I could give him the Dafa of transferring flowers and trees, he agreed to our request on the spot." Xing Rong smiled with disdain on his face.

"That's good. With his help, our plan will be 20% more certain." Luo Yongqi nodded, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.

Xing Rong also nodded in agreement.

At this time, Xi Zheng suddenly glanced at Luo Yongqi, as if he had something to say.

Seeing this, Luo Yongqi immediately waved his hand and dismissed Xing Rong.

"Junior Brother Xing has worked hard on this trip and has achieved great results. When the work is completed, he will be credited with the first achievement. Now that he has returned from hard work, he should go and rest first."

Xing Rong didn't refute what he said, he cupped his hands towards Luo Yongqi, quietly looked at the three-eyed man for a moment, then turned and left.

"It's better not to be careless. Pansi Island may not trust Xiao Fangcheng. This kind of formation is related to their own safety. They may have some backup plans. It's best to find out together to avoid recurrence." After Xing Rong left. , Xi Zheng shook his head slightly and said cautiously.

"What Master Xiangkong said is true. However, although Xiao Fangcheng is not good at cultivation, in the way of formation, there is probably no one in the entire southern Xinjiang who can beat him. Even if Pansi Island has a back-up, as long as he has a plan , after all, it still won’t become popular.” Luo Yongqi said.
