Chapter 145 Golden light and black evil energy churned together, locked in a relentless battle.
Just then, explosive news spread: the Beast Taming Sect's flying boat had been besieged by evil cultivators, and both sides suffered heavy losses. One of the Beast Taming Sect's Tribulation Transcending Ancestors had perished, and three ninth-tier spirit beasts had died. The evil cultivators lost two Tribulation Transcending Ancestors, and two others were seriously injured, their cultivation levels dropping.
The other cultivators below the Mahayana level and the eighth-order demonic beasts suffered countless casualties on both sides.
The Beast Taming Sect suffered a severe blow after this battle.
Meanwhile, the Taixu Sect also encountered an ambush by evil cultivators. Fortunately, they reacted quickly, and only one of their Tribulation Transcending Ancestors was seriously injured. Neither side suffered too many losses.
Two days later, the flying boat sent by Lingyun Sect to retrieve disciples from the ancient battlefield disappeared, and there was no news of any of the disciples. It was said that it was the work of evil cultivators. The evil cultivators had received news that Lingyun Sect's flying boat had taken off, which was why they had spared Taixu Sect and turned their attack on Lingyun Sect instead.
After all, the Lingyun Sect is much easier to defeat.
These three pieces of news spread throughout the Immortal Spirit Continent, and the fragments of spiritual treasures in the ancient battlefield aroused the envy and desire of countless people.
The Qingyun Sect was suppressed by the Lingyun Sect, and obtained very few fragments of spiritual treasures. No one in the entire Immortal Spirit Continent paid any attention to them, and for a time they did not know how to deal with themselves.
Upon returning to her sect, Zhong Lingxin handed over several extremely damaged fragments of spiritual treasures, as well as a map she had drawn herself, thus successfully completing her mission.
Everyone knew she had been severely injured by Ye Yuanzun's kick, and it was a miracle she even survived. So no one blamed her for the damaged fragments she submitted; instead, they comforted her by saying it was good that she was alive.
Back in her own cave, Zhong Lingxin smiled broadly and waved her hand to empty the courtyard full of storage equipment.
Huanhuan and Lele also ran out, frolicking all over the yard, telling each other how they entered Flying Dragon City and how they used the trapping formation to kill the evil cultivators in the spirit stone mine.
Zhong Lingxin took out Li Wuxie's Soul-Slaying Array and Chen Zhixiong's Treasure Bottle, which were placed separately.
Both of these treasures still have divine consciousness attached to them, which she cannot erase.
Qingyang Venerable Saint reached out and took them, then with a fierce stroke, shattered the divine consciousness on the two treasures.
Inside the Li Hun Sect, a pair of bloodshot eyes were fixed on the Li family patriarch who wanted to use the Li Hun Array to find the murderer of his grandson. He couldn't sense the array, and just as he did, a sharp pain shot through his consciousness, causing him to cough up a mouthful of blood. Immediately afterward, he lost contact with the Li Hun Array.
The same thing was happening in the Lingyun Sect. The sect's treasure bottle was held by an ancestor in the back mountain. The ancestor also summoned the bottle with his mind every day, and just as soon as he sensed it, his consciousness was erased, and he suffered severe damage to his soul.
Zhong Lingxin ignored the two treasures and continued to search for more.
She took out the seven fruits she had snatched in the valley and told her master and Uncle Xuanyuan about what had happened.
Xuan Yuan picked up a black fruit, examined it carefully for a while, and said, "It looks like a Soul Essence Fruit."
Qingyang Venerable Saint also took it in his hand and examined it, then laughed and said, "That's right, it's the Soul Essence Fruit. A ninth-grade spiritual fruit! It's a good thing you could hold back, otherwise one bite would have blown your divine sense to pieces."
Zhong Lingxin swallowed several times and stammered, "I wanted to eat it several times, but I felt the spiritual energy was too abundant, so I didn't dare to eat it. I thought it was a fifth or sixth grade spiritual fruit, I never expected it to be a ninth grade spiritual fruit."
After Zhong Lingxin finished speaking, she hurriedly pushed all seven Soul Power Fruits to her master and Uncle Xuanyuan: "Here you go, all of them. I was thinking that I was busy killing evil cultivators when I entered the ancient battlefield this time, and I didn't have time to bring you gifts. I didn't expect to get Soul Power Fruits."
Qingyang Venerable Saint took out two jade boxes, each containing a Soul Essence Fruit, and handed one to Xuan Yuan: "These two are enough for us. We'll use them when we undergo the Ascension Tribulation. Keep the others for now, and don't show them to anyone."
Zhong Lingxin nodded and continued taking out her treasures.
She took out several jade bottles and a piece of jade bone: "Master, this is what I got after I obtained the Soul Essence Fruit. I followed a remnant soul into a cave and found it there. Master, this jade spring can nourish my spiritual root. I don't know if it will be useful to you. This is the jade bone that fell down after I killed the great remnant soul with an array. I guess it used up all the jade spring. What a pity."
Zhong Lingxin dared not reveal the matter of the Jade Essence; she did not want to tell her master about her Nine-Layered Pagoda.
It's not that I don't trust my master and Uncle Xuanyuan, but some opportunities are less dangerous if fewer people know about them.
If Master were to accidentally let something slip one day, that would be extremely dangerous.
Then, she took out the Cheng Ying Sword and told her about her experience of killing Brother Yu from the Li Hun Sect. She also talked about Brother Yu's Netherworld Ghost Fire. She lamented for a long time that if she could have fed that Netherworld Ghost Fire to her Lele.
Then, she took out the nine prayer beads: "Master, can you take a look and see if you can repair them? These prayer beads are extremely spiritual. I found six at first, and then used their senses to find the other three, completing the set of nine. In order to find all the prayer beads, I was targeted by the leader of the Blood Fiend Sect, who almost killed me. This is the Blood Fiend Pool of the Blood Fiend Sect, it's too evil. Even though my soul is protected by the Soul-Suppressing Stone, it was still stirred up and churned by the blood fiend energy of the Blood Fiend Pool."
Qingyang Zunsheng took the nine Buddhist beads, and as soon as the jade box was opened, the nine beads automatically gathered together.
The six outermost beads, still gleaming with golden light, resolutely surrounded the three in the center that were tainted with black evil energy.
The three beads in the middle, tainted with black evil energy, surged with malevolent energy, swarming and attacking the six Buddhist beads that surrounded them.
Golden light and black malevolent energy churned and clashed endlessly.
Qingyang Venerable Saint waved his hand and took out a trapping array. He put the Buddhist bead in the middle, which was stained with black evil energy, inside it. With a flash of his palm, a golden flame fell into the trapping array.
The three Buddhist beads trapped in the formation transformed into a pitch-black face with fangs, spewing out dark evil energy, and biting at the golden flame.
Xuan Yuan also came over to watch: "Impressive, you can actually fight your True Sun Fire to a standstill."
Zhong Lingxin also came over to look. She knew about her master's True Sun Fire, which was a flame taken from the sun. It was extremely masculine and was the nemesis of all evil things.
Looking at the three Buddhist beads trapped in the formation, Venerable Qingyang laughed and said, "It's fortunate that these are Buddhist beads; if they were anything else, they would probably have become evil objects long ago."
Xuan Yuan laughed and said, "It's because they are Buddhist prayer beads that they probably fought too fiercely against evil energy in the ancient battlefield, which is why they became like this. It's fortunate that Xiao Xin'er got them. If they had fallen into someone else's hands, they might have harmed their owner."
Qingyang Zunsheng nodded: "If the Buddhist beads are stained like this, they should either be burned with flames that can burn away all evil, such as the True Fire of the Sun, the Southern Bright Fire, and the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, or sent to a Buddhist temple to be slowly strangled by Buddhist light. If they fall into the hands of evil cultivators, they will probably become a great scourge."
