Chapter 109 The Four Blood Soul Curses [5K] The demon monkey is quite intelligent and can be easily tamed through various means even without engraving a soul mark. "Go and help her tame your people as soon as possible." Seeing that Zhou Yuwan was able to initially tame the golden-haired monkey in the early stages of Qi training, Ye Linyuan immediately called on the golden-backed giant ape to help. After the golden-backed giant ape came to help, Ye Linyuan found a quiet place to meditate and took out the dazzling turbid blood pupil. "The Blood Eyes of the Turbid Spirit, I hope it will allow me to take that step." Ye Linyuan's mind was in turmoil, and then a dark blood-red ancient bead emerged from his palm. It was a dark and deep red illusory ancient bead, with ancient seal patterns wrapped all over it, emitting an extremely domineering bloody power. This blood-red illusory ancient bead is the original state of mind of the Blood Soul Curse, and Ye Linyuan has cultivated it to the Mahayana realm for many years. At this time, Ye Linyuan did not hesitate. He immediately mobilized his vast true energy and began to continuously refine the turbid blood pupil.
As it continued to be refined, the turbid spirit's blood pupil trembled slightly, and streams of bloody evil spirits flew out of the blood pupil and merged into the blood soul curse. Soon, this turbid blood pupil was gradually decomposed and finally completely absorbed by the Blood Soul Curse. When the turbid spirit blood pupils were completely absorbed, Ye Linyuan immediately lowered his eyes, constantly sensing the blood evil and turbid spirit power in the blood soul curse. "Om-" No one knew how long it had been, but as the Blood Soul Curse suddenly unfolded, it suddenly transformed into four ancient characters, namely - 傷, 斃, 滅, 喨! "Is this... the Blood Soul Curse at the Near Path level?" Ye Linyuan opened his eyes and looked at the four ancient characters in front of him, a trace of solemnity appeared on his face. This Blood Soul Curse is an extremely insidious and overbearing curse, which can be used to curse one's enemies through birth dates, bloodlines, objects used, and other media. Anyone who is cursed will suffer extremely terrible suffering and will gradually lose his life under the erosion of the blood soul spell. These four ancient characters represent the four levels of power of the Blood Soul Curse. As a rare forbidden technique, the Blood Soul Curse is extremely vicious and possesses extremely domineering power, but activating it will also come at a huge price. The Blood Soul Ancient Curse has four levels of power, corresponding to these four ancient characters. Among them, 'Injury' has the least power, but with Ye Linyuan's current cultivation attainments, it is enough to severely injure an ordinary cultivator who has reached the perfection of Qi Refining, causing him to fall into long-term weakness. If there is no panacea to cure it, it will take at least ten years to recover. As a price, every time the word "injury" is activated, the cultivator will lose 30% of his energy and blood, and will be weak for at least a whole year. The power of the word "斃" is even stronger. After being activated, it can curse and kill a powerful enemy. Unless there is a targeted elixir for treatment, a cultivator who has reached the perfection of Qi training will die within seven days after being hit. If a cultivator does not want to activate this move, he will not only have to consume 70% of his own energy and blood, but will also shorten his lifespan by one year before he can unleash enough power. The word "滅" is even more powerful. This move is enough to curse and kill powerful enemies across levels. Even if a foundation-building cultivator is cursed by this technique, he may suffer extremely serious injuries, or even be in danger of death if not handled properly. However, the cost of activating this word is something that ordinary Qigong practitioners cannot afford, as it requires the consumption of ten years of their lifespan. The last word "hong" is the most domineering word in the Blood Soul Curse. In order to activate this word "hong", the cultivator needs to sacrifice at least 30% of his life span, and he also needs to set up an altar and formation to barely exert enough power.
Moreover, depending on the different levels of cultivation between the caster and the cursed person, the amount of life span that needs to be consumed will increase almost unlimitedly, which is almost an unbearable burden. And with such a huge price, the power of the "Hong" curse is also extremely terrifying. It is said that there was once a peerless Yuanying Zhenjun who dominated the world, but he was killed together with a Jindan cultivator by this curse. "Injury, death, destruction, and death!" "The power of these four spells is so terrifying, they are worthy of being the forbidden techniques of the Tianji lineage. Unfortunately, this spell is harmful to others and oneself, and the cost of activating it is still too great." Ye Linyuan whispered slowly and finally revealed a smile. With the blessing of the Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong and the healing power of the Jiu Xiao Ming Yue, he was almost immune to the cost of the first of the four spells. By activating the second spell '斃' and the third spell '灭', he can be exempted from most of the costs, except for the loss of lifespan which cannot be recovered. Fortunately, after Canghai Mingyue cultivated to the Foundation Establishment Stage, he was able to slowly recover his lost lifespan. Although he could only recover one year of lifespan every ten years, it could make up for the loss of lifespan. Only the most domineering fourth spell could not be easily activated by Ye Linyuan with his current cultivation level. "With my current cultivation, as long as I find a suitable medium, such as birth date or direct bloodline, it should be enough to curse and kill the early stage of foundation building. At the very least, I can seriously injure him and make him unable to wake up." "With this spell, I think I'll be more confident when I plan to build my foundation in the future." Ye Linyuan's mind was in turmoil, and he felt more confident again. He did not linger any longer, but calmly took the four ancient characters into his body, then stood up calmly. It was not until this moment that Ye Linyuan realized that the sky was gradually getting brighter. It turned out that a night had passed without him noticing. After getting up, he came to the Spirit Eye and found that everyone looked good. He couldn't help but show satisfaction and said, "It seems that you have almost recovered." Old Man Ye stroked his long beard and nodded, saying, “This top-grade spiritual eye has accumulated a lot of spiritual energy, and we have recovered to our heyday.” Ye Linyuan nodded, then looked at Zhou Yuwan and asked, "How is the taming of those golden monkeys going?" Zhou Yuwan smiled, and then said: "The golden monkey is well-behaved and smart, and with the cooperation of the golden-backed giant ape, it can now understand my instructions to a certain extent." Ye Linyuan nodded, then looked at everyone and said, "The golden monkey is only in the initial stage of taming now, and it will take some time to adjust to it to ensure that there will be no accidents." "In the next few days, we will hunt around this island. When the golden monkeys get familiar with us, we will let them enter the treasure ship." Everyone nodded when they heard this. Fifth Aunt Ye Qinxin nodded, and then said with a smile: "The depths of the Black Kui Islands are too dangerous. It should be safer for us to hunt around here." Having said this, no one said anything more. Zhou Yuwan was left to continue training the golden monkey, while the others took the Lingfeng to hunt within a hundred miles of the surrounding area. Within a radius of 100 miles, the most dangerous blood sharks have been hunted down by them. Now the remaining monsters are basically weak monsters in the early and middle stages of Qi training, but the benefits they bring are far less than previous battles. Fortunately, these monsters are not very strong, which means they are safe and can bring considerable benefits in the long run. Time passed like this, and before they knew it, five or six days had passed. On this day, everyone had just hunted a monster, when suddenly a token on the boat emitted a pale blue light. When everyone heard this, their expressions changed slightly, because this was the communication token given to them by Qinghe Immortal Sect for communication. Old Man Ye took it and after checking it with his divine sense, he threw it to Ye Linyuan and said solemnly, "The Qinghe Immortal Sect has sent news that the location of the Bright Moon Shell has been determined."
"They asked everyone to gather immediately. Anyone who fails to arrive within three days will be expelled from the fleet when they return. If a cultivator in the late stage of Qi training does not go, his family's spiritual vein will be deprived when he returns." Ye Linyuan took a quick look with his spiritual sense and immediately realized that what Old Man Ye said was true. The decree of the Qinghe Immortal Sect is not empty. If you fail to gather, you will definitely be punished in the future. Just expelling the fleet would be a dead end for most cultivators, because even for a cultivator in the late Qi training stage, it would be extremely dangerous to cross thousands of miles of deep sea alone and return to the Qinghe Islands. For ordinary cultivators in the early or middle stages of Qi training, it is almost a life-or-death situation to cross such a vast deep sea. Although cultivators in the late stage of Qi training have a certain chance of returning alive, it is not easy to be deprived of the family spiritual vein. Thinking of this, Ye Linyuan said, "The golden monkeys are almost tamed, they shouldn't attack us. Now that the conscription order has arrived, let's gather with them." Chu Daoran also nodded and said with a smile: "Based on the situation before Jiazi, this should be the last battle. After we get the Bright Moon Shell, we should go back." When Ye Linyuan heard this, a trace of worry appeared in his eyes. He thought of the Five Elements Returning to Origin Vein and Xuanling Island, and vaguely felt that this matter might not be so simple. But he didn't say much, he just stood up and said, "Let's go back to the island and pick up the golden monkey first." Having said this, Ye Linyuan arrived at the deserted island. They picked up Zhou Yuwan and the group of golden-haired monkeys, and then steered the treasure ship towards the direction of the Bright Moon Shell. Guided by the communication token, they continued to move forward in the direction, and in just two days they traveled over a thousand miles and finally arrived at the army assembly point. It was a huge circular island with a circumference of nearly a hundred miles. Its exterior was shaped like a huge horseshoe, with a vast inland sea in the middle and only one exit connecting to the outside of the island. At this time, thousands of large and small ships had surrounded the exit, and it was obvious that the three armies had already gathered here. Ye Linyuan first took a look at these ships and immediately discovered that the number of monks on many ships had decreased a lot, and many ships had even become quite dilapidated. "It seems that the loss rate of the army is no less than 20%." Old man Ye at the side couldn't help but speak, his expression showing a solemn look. Up to now in the war, they have only been fighting sporadically. Logically speaking, with the intelligence level of the cultivators, they should be able to crush the demons in small-scale battles. After all, humans are much smarter than monsters. They can analyze the pros and cons of battles, and can also cooperate with their peers to hunt monsters. But even so, the casualty rate has still exceeded 20%, which shows how cruel the war between humans and demons is. You know, the most brutal war has not yet begun. The Heikui Islands should have reacted by now. They will not let the human race take away the Moonlight Shell easily. A brutal battle is bound to break out before this roundabout. Thinking of this, Ye Linyuan looked at the circular island again, and his brows twitched slightly. "There is the scent of spiritual shellfish on the island. It seems that He has already opened a shellfish farm here." Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, and couldn't help revealing a trace of solemnity. The Bright Moon Shell is quite intelligent, yet it is able to continuously breed a large number of Spirit Shells. Moreover, the other party cannot suppress its instinct to breed Spirit Shells for a long time, so it is reasonable to open a shell farm here. But at this time, in addition to the breath of Lingbei, there was also a large amount of breath of demons in the circular island. Obviously, the great foundation-building demon of the Heikui Islands has dispatched a large number of demons to garrison here and will not easily let the Bright Moon Shell be taken away by humans.
At the same time, the three elders and Su Shaoyu gathered in the flagship formed by the three armies. They looked at the large number of monsters on the island and showed a solemn look. At this time, the second elder's face was solemn, and he couldn't help but say: "We have gathered 7,000 monks. Should we take action now?" The third elder, Yu Daofeng, shook his head and said solemnly, "Wait a little longer. We have to wait for the three-day deadline." Su Shaoyu was very calm, and said calmly, "They are just a bunch of chickens and dogs. I can suppress them by myself. Why bother?" But the Great Elder shook his head and said solemnly: "Whether we can capture the Bright Moon Shell in this battle is related to whether Ancestor Qinghe can break through to the late stage of foundation building. We must make the greatest preparations." Su Shaoyu frowned, but did not force it. So they waited for another day until ships arrived one after another, and they found that there were actually more than ten thousand human cultivators gathered here. "It looks like the rest won't be able to come." Su Shaoyu spoke calmly, then looked at the Great Elder and said, "Great Elder, it's time for us to take action." This time, the Great Elder did not stop him, but said with a serious expression: "In this case, let's do it." "Pass the order on. Whoever can capture the Bright Moon Shell will be granted the right to inherit the Green Crane Immortal Sect's true teachings." Following the order from the three elders, the entire fleet received the order to go to war. Countless large ships headed for the coral island, and a great battle was about to break out. The Lingfeng, where Ye Linyuan was, also received the order to go to war, but Ye Linyuan was very cautious before going in. He summoned everyone on the treasure ship and warned them with a serious look: "Remember, you must preserve your strength and not use all your means until it is necessary." Upon hearing this, everyone present nodded solemnly, and maintained their cultivation at the initial or middle stage of Qi training. Apart from Old Man Ye, even Ye Linyuan had hidden his cultivation at the middle stage of Qi training, while the golden-backed giant ape and the golden-haired monkey hid in the cabin and would not go into battle easily unless it was necessary. After ensuring that their aura was completely concealed, they followed the army and attacked towards the island. As a result, as soon as they entered the island, they found that tens of thousands of monsters had gathered here. Groups of monsters attacked the treasure ship, and an extremely brutal war broke out. Fortunately, the Ye family's treasure ship was mixed in with the army and was not particularly conspicuous, but it also demonstrated a certain strength, and for a while there were no powerful monsters coming to attack. Even if there were occasional demon beasts in the late stage of Qi training that came to attack, Ye Linyuan would quietly kill them with the Geng Jin Needle. At this time, the battlefield was in chaos and no one noticed anything unusual about Ye Linyuan. Such a fierce battle soon lasted for half a day, and a large number of monks and monsters died on both sides. Overall, the human race is at the upper hand. After all, humans are well prepared, and their individual combat abilities are better than those of the less intelligent demon race. These monsters fight based on their instincts. Even though their numbers are much greater than humans, when faced with magical weapons, talismans, monster-hunting crossbows and other monster-hunting items, they often suffer three times as many casualties as humans to kill a human cultivator. The battle had been going on for most of the day, and more than two thousand human cultivators had died, but more than seven thousand monsters had also died here. By this point, the demon clan had been almost completely routed, and many monsters' fear even overcame their ferocity and they began to flee for their lives. Just at this moment, the Moon Clam deep in the island finally couldn't sit still anymore, and it suddenly soared into the air, emitting a huge amount of moonlight. In an instant, countless moonlight turned into sword rain that fell down, and several ships in the front were blown up instantly, and dozens of monks died in succession. Almost at the same time, dozens of powerful monsters flew out from the island one after another, and each of them displayed a cultivation level comparable to that of perfect Qi Refining.
As these powerful monsters took action, the demon race stopped its defeat for a while and instead killed the human race and forced them to retreat step by step. "Evil creature, please stop being so violent." At this moment, more than thirty figures flew out from behind the human race. They are cultivators who have reached the pinnacle of Qi training from the Qinghe Islands. Among them, a dozen are strong men from major families and independent cultivators, and the rest are elders and veterans of the Qinghe Immortal Sect. At this time, these people stopped the group of monsters, and a fierce battle was about to break out. Ye Linyuan only took a glance and understood that the human race would have the upper hand. Although there were more people in the demon race who had reached the peak of Qi training, the human race had two people who had mastered rare magical instruments and had reached the great peak of Qi training. Their combat power far exceeds that of ordinary Qi-refining perfect monsters. Any one of them can defeat several Qi-refining perfect monsters working together, and they have the strength to kill those who have reached the great perfection of Qi-refining. As the battle became more intense, Ye Linyuan's expression became more solemn. He looked towards the sea, with a solemn look in his pupils. Since the war began, tens of thousands of monks and monsters have died in this vast ocean, and their blood has dyed the sea red. However, Ye Linyuan keenly noticed that the blood and essence of those demon cultivators and the souls of the fallen cultivators seemed to be absorbed by some force. Although the speed was not fast and ordinary cultivators could not detect it at all, Ye Linyuan's experience and intuition still made him vaguely feel that something was wrong. "Who is hiding in the dark and plundering essence, blood and souls?" Ye Linyuan felt depressed, and a bad feeling came to his mind. So he decisively operated the treasure ship, and took advantage of the chaos to steer the treasure ship toward the periphery, and unknowingly wandered at the edge of the entrance.
