Chapter 525: Golden Crow Spirit
Baohua restricted the monsters from leaving the mountains, and the Tianyun tribe promised that this place could be used as a place for Baohua to heal her wounds.
At the same time, the Tianyun Clan also restricts cultivators above the Saint level from entering this mountain range, but those below the Saint level can enter for treasure hunting and exploration in a fixed month every year.
Although this mountain range is extremely dangerous, it also contains many opportunities, which makes the Tianyun people love and hate it, so they call it the Demon Gold Mountain Range.
Ye Changsheng recalled various rumors about the Demon Gold Mountains in his mind, flapping his Sky Peng wings and flying quickly towards the mountain.
A few days later, after he flew over a long stretch of nameless mountains, a boundless sea of fog formed by a large expanse of green clouds suddenly appeared in front of him.
"This should be the Qingling Cloud Sea that restricts the Demon Gold Mountains. It is also the only entrance to the Demon Gold Mountains." Ye Changsheng thought secretly in his heart as he looked at the green sea of fog.
Back then, the strong men of the Tianyun Clan set up a large formation on the outskirts of the Demon Gold Mountains, surrounding the entire mountain range and leaving only one entrance and exit.
If outside cultivators want to enter the Magic Gold Mountains to hunt monsters, they can only go through this entrance and exit. There is no way to enter from anywhere else.
Looking at the green sea of clouds, Ye Changsheng leaped forward. Not long after, when he approached the green sea of clouds, he immediately heard a rumbling sound, as if there was thunder inside, and the sound was extremely shocking.
Ye Changsheng moved his body and turned his hand. Another golden token appeared in his hand. He raised it and a golden light disappeared into the thick fog.
Suddenly, the thick fog that was so thick that one could not see one's hand in front of one's face retreated where the golden light passed, forming a natural passage.
When ordinary people come to the Magic Gold Mountains for the first time, they need to go through some complicated tests before they can enter a small town, and then continue to undergo tests there before they can get a chance to enter the Magic Gold Mountains.
This is also what the Thirteen Clans of Tianyun did to protect some of the weaker people in their clan, so that they would not enter the mountain in vain and lose their lives.
However, Ye Changsheng was well prepared, so he didn't need to go through so much trouble. The various tests had nothing to do with him. He directly used the token to enter the sea of clouds.
Passing through that passage, Ye Changsheng flew into the sea of fog for more than ten miles in a blink of an eye. Suddenly, his eyes flashed, and he saw a group of buildings under the clouds. Seeing this scene, Ye Changsheng immediately landed. After getting closer, he could see clearly that these buildings were hundreds of stone houses of different sizes, arranged in two rows to form a long and narrow town.
In the very center of the town, there is a huge attic several dozen feet high. It has five floors and is built with huge blue-gray stones. It looks extremely eye-catching.
There seemed to be some people walking on the streets of the town, but not too many.
As the light of escape faded, Ye Changsheng appeared in front of the huge attic. He saw a plaque hanging horizontally on the door of the attic, with three ancient Chinese characters "Leiyun Pavilion" written on it in a flamboyant style.
This is the place where you can get the magic weapon that can pass the restriction. Only by getting a magic weapon called the Thunder-Proof Umbrella here can you safely enter the Demon Gold Mountains.
Ye Changsheng faintly felt several extremely powerful auras in this Leiyun Pavilion. He knew that there should be a saint-level being in charge of this place, and there seemed to be more than one.
He stepped into it...
"I have a few things to remind you, fellow Taoist. The Lightning-Repelling Umbrella must be recognized by its owner in front of me to prevent it from being snatched away by others. Also, after the umbrella is recognized by its owner, it will only be effective for one month. After this period, it will be useless."
“That is to say, fellow Daoist, you must come out of the mountains within a month, otherwise you will be transformed by the evil spirit inside and become a real monster.” A middle-aged deacon of Leiyun Pavilion who looked like a Confucian scholar reminded.
Ye Changsheng took a small light silver umbrella from the man. The umbrella was only a few inches in size, but extremely exquisite, with densely packed runes engraved on the surface.
"Thank you for the reminder, fellow Taoist." He nodded, threw the small umbrella in his hand into the air, and then opened his mouth.
A small ball of essence and blood turned into a blood mist and sprayed out, covering the silver umbrella.
He began to chant some incantations and refine the magic weapon. Not long after, the entire body of the silver umbrella was covered with a layer of blood light, but it immediately dissipated and returned to normal.
Ye Changsheng waved his hand, the silver umbrella shrank, flew towards his sleeve, and disappeared in a flash.
The entire process of recognizing the master was completed in an instant.
The deacon of Leiyun Pavilion showed a hint of surprise on his face. He was obviously shocked at how quickly Ye Changsheng recognized the Thunder-Repelling Umbrella as his master. You know, this magical weapon is not so easy to refine.
After completing the recognition of his master, Ye Changsheng naturally said goodbye. The steward of Leiyun Pavilion behind him looked at his departing back with flickering eyes.
"If this famous Fellow Daoist Ye in Yuncheng wants something, he can just issue a task and ask people to help him find it. Why does he have to come to the Magic Gold Mountains and take risks himself? I wonder how many people want his elixirs!" This person thought secretly.
The Demon Gold Mountains are extremely dangerous. Even a ninth-level being of the upper clan may die after entering it. After all, there are holy-level monsters in there.
He really couldn't understand why someone like Ye Changsheng would come to such a place!
Ye Changsheng had no idea what the deacon of the Leiyun Pavilion was thinking. After getting the lightning-proof umbrella, he immediately used the umbrella to pass through the green cloud sea restriction and came to the Demon Gold Mountains.
A strange scene appeared before my eyes. Looking around, the ground was all dark, submerged by a thick, pitch-black fog that was three or four hundred feet high.
Three or four hundred feet above the ground, it was a gray area with light gray demonic energy floating everywhere, which was completely different from the pitch-black demonic energy below. There was a clear boundary between the two, as if they were separated by the worlds of yin and yang.
Ye Changsheng stretched out his spiritual sense, but found that his spiritual sense could only be released to about two or three hundred feet away, and was severely suppressed.
However, his eyes can see very far. With the help of his clear and bright spiritual eyes, he can see as far as four hundred feet away. Here, his eyes are more useful than his spiritual sense.
Ye Changsheng was not surprised by this situation, as he knew it before he came. It was already very impressive for an average person to be able to see a few dozen feet in this place, but he could see four hundred feet away, which was a big advantage.
After he identified the direction, he flew forward quickly, looking for a landmark location, and then searched for the location of the Qilin's nest based on his memory.
After flying for about an hour , Ye Changsheng suddenly stopped and looked to the side not far away.
I saw the mist not far away in that direction rolling violently, as if some creature was about to come out of it. Not long after, several black shadows about ten feet in size appeared menacingly.
After just a few flashes, they suddenly rushed out of the fog with strange cries, revealing their true appearance in front of Ye Changsheng.
These were bald demon birds that looked like vultures, but their faces were actually women's faces. However, where two eyes should have been, there were actually four emerald green eyes lined up above and below.
As a result, the face of the bald woman, who originally looked quite pretty, suddenly became extremely hideous.
Among the five demon birds, four have black and white feathers, probably at the early stage of refining emptiness. Only the one in the middle has snow-white feathers and the most powerful aura, having reached the late stage of refining emptiness.
"Hehe! It's actually a person from the spirit world. That's great! The last time I ate a person from the spirit world was hundreds of years ago." After the most powerful demon bird saw Ye Changsheng clearly, it actually made unclear human voices, and the voice was extremely rough and unpleasant.
Upon hearing this, Ye Changsheng looked at the five demon birds expressionlessly, with a look of reminiscence in his eyes, as if he was recalling something.
This demon bird in the late stage of the Refining Void realm seemed to be extremely intelligent. It did not rush over with its four subordinates, but hovered in the distance, flapping its wings lightly. Its four strange demon eyes kept scanning Ye Changsheng, as if weighing the strength of both parties.
" It turns out to be a human-faced dove. Great, great!" Ye Changsheng suddenly showed a hint of joy on his face, and the look in his eyes when he looked at those demonic birds immediately became different.
Seeing this kind of look from him, these demon birds suddenly felt a chill in their hearts. The leading one in the late stage of the Refining Void Realm could no longer bear it, and screamed as he rushed up with the other four demon birds.
Ye Changsheng stretched out his palm and pressed the void in front of him. Suddenly, a golden lightning rushed out, thunder roared, and countless golden arcs flashed with weird electric light, instantly spreading over an area of several acres, covering the five unsuspecting demon birds under its power.
"The divine thunder that wards off evil?!" The leading human-faced dove actually recognized the identity of this golden lightning, and cried out in horror.
Then, facing the descending golden lightning, the five demon birds raised their wings almost at the same time, and suddenly five balls of white flames of different sizes flew out from their bodies with great momentum. Then, after a few "puff" sounds, they exploded and turned into hundreds of white fire butterflies the size of a palm, rushing towards the golden lightning.
After coming into contact with the golden lightning, this white flame actually blocked the evil-repelling divine thunder that had always been ineffective against monsters, and the two sides came to a stalemate.
Seeing this scene, Ye Changsheng was not surprised but delighted. A smile appeared on his face and he whispered, "It is indeed the Golden Crow's true fire. These human-faced pigeons have the Golden Crow's bloodline!"
As he spoke, he waved his sleeves and released the impatient Firebird. Suddenly, a ball of silver light flashed, and the Firebird rushed towards the five demon birds with great momentum.
It flapped its wings and a large ball of silver flame rushed out, wrapping up the white Golden Crow True Fire. The Firebird opened its mouth and swallowed the white flames directly.
As soon as these demonic birds saw the silver firebird emerge, the expressions on their faces suddenly became extremely strange. There were signs of fear and surprise, but more importantly, there was an undisguised look of greed.
However, when they saw the silver firebird swallow up their Golden Crow True Fire in one go, fear suddenly appeared on the faces of these demon birds. For a moment, the four demon birds with lower cultivation levels flapped their wings and turned around, as if they wanted to escape.
The Firebird would never let them leave like that. It let out a long cry and released a large flame that covered the sky and the sun, directly surrounding the area and wrapping up the five demon birds.
Then, it suddenly leaped up and instantly appeared in front of a demon bird. It opened its mouth and spit out a ball of extremely pure silver flame, which directly wrapped the demon bird.
After a scream, the demon bird was refined by the Spirit Flame Firebird in the blink of an eye. The Spirit Flame Firebird opened its mouth and sucked the ball of fire into its stomach.
Ye Changsheng saw some silver-white runes flickering faintly in the flame, which was obviously the Golden Crow True Fire refined from the human-faced dove.
Then, the Spirit Flame Firebird followed the same method and refined and devoured the other three demon birds. Now, the only one left was the human-faced dove with the highest level of cultivation.
The beast was also extremely terrified at this time. Its eyes flashed and it suddenly opened its mouth and spurted out a milky white round bead.
This round bead is pure white, emitting a dazzling white light. It is the magic core that this demon bird has been cultivating for who knows how many years. Now that it sees that the situation is not good, it sprays it out directly.
This magic core was only the size of a fist, but after it was ejected, the white light it emitted instantly transformed into thousands of fine needles, which then flashed and shot towards the Firebird.
These thousands of fine needles were extremely powerful and they pierced countless small holes in the body of the Spirit Flame Firebird at once. Although the injuries on the Spirit Flame Firebird healed immediately after a flash of silver light, its power was greatly weakened at once.
The surrounding silver flames suddenly dimmed, and the human-faced dove was extremely surprised when he saw this scene, and was about to take this opportunity to escape.
At this time, Ye Changsheng, who had been watching the battle, took action. He snapped his fingers and a ray of five-colored light penetrated into the body of the Spirit Flame Bird.
In an instant, the firebird's body suddenly glowed with silver light, and it became energetic from its original listless state. With a hiss, it flew out with a whoosh, and the pure silver flame from its mouth surrounded the human-faced dove and the white magic core.
As the Spirit Flame Fire burned, the human-faced dove disappeared soon, and the Spirit Flame Firebird swallowed the silver-white blood refined from its body into its stomach.
Then the bird flew in front of Ye Changsheng with extraordinary joy, as if it wanted to express its joy.
But at this moment, Ye Changsheng stretched out his hand and placed it in front of it, as if asking for something.
The silver firebird, which had been extremely cheerful, suddenly froze, a pitiful look of human nature appeared in its eyes. It came close to him and kept stroking his face with the feathers on its head, as if begging for something.
"Be obedient, how can I do without you?" Ye Changsheng said unhappily as he touched the feathers of the silver firebird which was becoming more and more intelligent.
Hearing this, the firebird seemed to have thought of something. It flapped its wings and flew to Ye Changsheng's hand. It opened its mouth reluctantly and a ball of extremely pure white blood appeared in Ye Changsheng's hand.
