Chapter 617: The Legacy of the Ancient Witch and the Legacy of the Gods
Although the Blood Sea Remnant Soul was insane and had a confused memory, Yu Lie could not learn more information, and even many things about the ancient times, this remnant soul itself did not know.
However, Yu Lie learned from the soul search that there was one thing in the memory of this thing that it would never forget.
It was precisely because of this matter that this remnant soul could barely compete with the Dan earthworm maggots and compete for control of the entire Blood Sea, and to a certain extent, it also overwhelmed the Dan earthworm maggots.
This matter was about the inheritance method of the ancient witch clan. It was born by bathing in the magma of the earth's crust and grew by swallowing all living things. It was an innate creature, and naturally it did not reproduce by ordinary means of reproduction.
If there were creatures that could pass its inheritance trial, they could also grow into a witch clan.
However, the birth and growth of each ancient witch was the creation of heaven and earth, and there was no repetition. When the environment of the ancient times was missed, the witch clan that grew up later could not be called ancient witches.
According to historical records in the Shanhai Realm, all the twelve ancient witches from ancient times to the present were born innately, and none of them were acquired later.
Based on the memories in the remnant soul, Yu Lie also learned that only when the world was first created could a true ancient witch be born.
When he learned this, he was also amazed:
"The ancient witch was really born with the world, no wonder such creatures are at least second-grade earth immortals, and are completely innate creatures.
Speaking of which, the inheritance method tells later generations that ordinary creatures also have the opportunity to be promoted to ancient witches."
This made Yu Lie doubt the ancient witch inheritance in the remnant soul, and he laughed in his heart:
"If acquired creatures want to become ancient witches, do they have to open up a new world? But they already have the ability to open up the world. If they are not ancient witches, their magic power is already comparable to that of ancient witches."
Yu Lie shook his head, and he quickly let go of this entanglement.
Because he obtained this inheritance, he did not want to step into the path of ancient witch practice.
Even though the path of the ancient witch is not cultivated after birth, the future is limited, but in the mountain and sea world, the immortal path can cultivate earth immortals and heavenly immortals. Although it pays attention to the footsteps, it pays more attention to chance and luck.
In this way, this ancient witch inheritance is a great fortune for Yu Lie.
The greatest role of this thing for him is not whether he can become an immortal ancient witch in the future, but to integrate it into his own practice path, improve his foundation, and promote his probability of condensing a high-grade golden elixir.
After sorting out these, Yu Lie's mind was determined.
Immediately, he focused his attention on the elixir maggot in the purple mansion.
In order to step into the path of ancient witch practice, in addition to a legacy memory, the more important thing is a piece of ancient witch essence blood.
Without the latter, even if the ancient witch is resurrected, it can only take the martial arts path, and cannot embark on the "ancient witch path" again. Even if it is an immortal, don't think about crossing it.
It is precisely because of this that the residual soul of the blood sea has never been nurtured in the blood sea.
Because it was just the obsession of the fallen ancient witch before his death. Although it obtained the inherited memory of the ancient witch, the body of the ancient witch had suffered a devastating destruction. Every inch of its immortal body had been damaged, and it did not have enough pure blood of the ancient witch.
The remnant soul was trapped in the heart of the ancient witch. Even if it gathered the blood of the entire sea of blood, it could not take the last step, but it was unwilling to give up, so it was deadlocked for thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years.
Later, it leaked its Qi, causing the Dan earthworm maggots in the ancient witch's body to reject it, and the two sides showed a competitive and killing relationship in the sea of blood.
In short, the remnant soul of the sea of blood wanted to have an immortal body as soon as it was born and become a creature at the level of an immortal, which was itself a false idea.
If it had settled for the second best, it would probably have been born early, and it might even have gradually repaired its body by devouring the flesh and blood of the Dan earthworm maggots, and it would have been able to cultivate an immortal body soon after it was born.
Because there is also the blood of the ancient witch in the body of the Dan earthworm.
If there were not all kinds of divine thoughts and dead air in this secret realm, it would have spontaneously given birth to spirituality, formed the residual soul of the sea of blood, and inherited the ancient witch heritage first.
Logically speaking, it should have been a Dan earthworm that stood out step by step in the mutual devouring and killing, condensed the purest ancient witch ancestor blood in its body, and finally controlled the sea of blood, inherited the obsession, and transformed into a true descendant of the ancient witch.
Unfortunately, because of the dispute between the two, both sides missed the final great opportunity, resulting in it falling into Yu Lie's hands.
However, the ancient witch blood that Yu Lie can now condense from the body of the immortal infant and the body of the Dan earthworm is undoubtedly of a lower level.
The first two, at least, were inherited directly from the remains of the ancient witch. Now in Yu Lie's hands, it has been a generation apart.
Fortunately, Yu Lie possessed the art of transformation. He could transform into the form of a dan earthworm and imitate the blood of the ancient witch.
And most importantly, there was a soul-transforming pool in his purple mansion.
As for blood, the soul-transforming pool could also purify it. As long as the quantity was sufficient, Yu Lie could even extract dragon blood from a dog-headed man!
As for the essence of the ancient witch, although he had not tried it before, he was sure that he could do it.
"It's just right. I can take this opportunity to see what the upper limit of the soul-transforming pool is."
Yu Lie pondered, his eyes still flickering.
After decades of use, the Soul Transformation Pool is definitely an immortal tool, and it is definitely not an ordinary immortal tool. It is at least the third grade. But whether it is the second grade or even the first grade, Yu Lie does not know.
Now using the Soul Transformation Pool to refine the blood of the ancient witch is just the right way to test the upper limit of this tool.
If it can only extract the blood essence comparable to the fourth grade of the scattered immortal, then its status is only the third grade; and if it can extract the blood essence comparable to the third grade of the true immortal, then its status should be the second grade.
By analogy, if the Soul Transformation Pool can completely refine the blood of the ancient witch ancestors, its status should belong to the first grade, or even above the first grade!
Do it when you think of it.
Yu Lie calmed down and immediately followed the inheritance steps obtained from the soul search to condense part of the blood containing the blood essence of the ancient witch from the bones and blood of the immortal baby.
After roughly condensing it successfully, he sensed what kind of components the ancient witch's blood essence was, and then threw all the remaining blood of the immortal infant bones into the soul transformation pool for soaking and purification.
This is a slow process, and he needs to control the progress from time to time and remove certain components, which is quite tedious.
Fortunately, after practicing for decades, Yu Lie knows the soul transformation pool very well, and now he can do many things at the same time, and it is not difficult.
In addition to refining the ancient witch's blood essence, he can also separate his attention and extract the energy he named "divine power" from the flesh and blood of the Dan earthworm maggots and integrate it into his body.
These two things are going on at the same time.
Then a few days later, something happened that surprised Yu Lie.
His eyelids twitched slightly:
"Hey, how come the ancient witch's blood essence disappeared after the Dan earthworm maggot's blood and blood was refined into the divine power."
In any flesh and blood, in addition to the blood essence, there are various other components, and they are not necessarily impurities.
Yu Lie originally thought that the divine power was just the energy in the flesh and blood of the earthworms. Even if it was not an impurity, it should be a foreign object formed by the earthworms by chance after swallowing some treasures in the secret realm, or after mixing thousands of kinds of energy.
But now, by comparing the two, he found that there is an inseparable relationship between the divine power and the ancient witch's blood.
In other words, the manifestation of the ancient witch's blood in the body of the earthworm is the manifestation of the divine power. With this energy, even the weak earthworms can move freely in the wind layer, and can devour all kinds of flesh and blood creatures unscrupulously, treating the ordinary Taoist's wind barrier as paper.
This discovery immediately made Yu Lie think about it.
His original plan was to let his body get involved in the ancient witch's way, and practice the ancient witch's inheritance as a method, and he did not intend to let it involve his own life transformation.
In this way, the ancient witch's blood and ancient witch's inheritance are effective and can increase his origin. But it is likely that it will only work for a while and cannot add bricks and tiles to Yu Lie's future practice.
Now Yu Lie found that the divine power he condensed was most likely the manifestation of the ancient witch's blood, so he came up with a way to integrate the ancient witch's inheritance into his practice to the greatest extent.
His consciousness incarnation fell in front of the Hualing Pool, staring at the pool surface with a sharp look:
"Instead of treating this ancient witch inheritance as a method to practice, it is better to let it become the material for my transformation, fill my internal organs, and completely turn it into the foundation of my flesh and Yin God!"
In this way, he did not deviate from the ascension road indicated by the "Four Nine Mysterious Art", and he was on the ancient witch's road, not a staged use.
After this idea popped out, Yu Lie's mind was full of thoughts and his thoughts were smooth. After thinking for a long time, he felt more and more feasible.
There was only one thing that puzzled him:
"According to the records in the Taoist books and the ancient witch's inheritance, the ancient witch was a pure flesh and blood body. Although it could call the wind and rain and cause celestial phenomena, it did not rely on the breath of true qi to pry the heaven and earth, but directly grasped the rules of heaven and earth to cast spells, which was the purest way to prove the Tao with force.
The Dan earthworm maggot in its body should also be a pure flesh and blood creature. Why did the ancient witch's blood appear in the form of Gangqi in its body?"
Yu Lie subconsciously suspected that it might be that the ancient witch's blood inherited by the Dan earthworm maggots from the remains of the ancient witch was not pure, so it was different from the ancestral insects, so it played such a fancy trick of "living on qi".
But soon, Yu Lie thought of another point, that is, in the secret realm of the sea of blood, there was not only the ancient witch's blood, but also the remnant of the gods who killed the ancient witch.
Although the battle ended with the death of the ancient witch, the god who attacked also suffered a serious injury to his origin.
Yu Lie didn't know whether the other party was dead or not, but the other party's status must have fallen from the status of a god, and it was possible that he would sleep for ten thousand years. Otherwise, the corpse of the ancient witch should have been taken away and refined by the other party.
In other words, the blood sea where Yu Lie was located was not only the remains of the ancient witch, but also the remains of a god. The power of both remained, and the residual soul that wanted to take over the body and revive was a living proof.
Suddenly, Yu Lie's heart moved:
"The residual soul in the blood sea was born from the obsession of the ancient witch, mixed with various other thoughts, and the obsession of the ancient witch was not even the main one.
Then, were the earthworm maggots in the blood sea also infected by the power of the god, so they changed from pure flesh and blood creatures to relying on "gang qi for survival"..."
If this is true, the formation of the Shengang has an explanation. As for why this thing is so strange and can swallow various kinds of Gangqi, it can also be explained.
Because this kind of Gangqi is formed by the intercourse of the blood of the ancient witch and the Qi of the gods, both of which are transformed from the innate Qi, especially the gods.
According to the records in the book, the gods of heaven are born in accordance with the rules of heaven and earth. If the ancient witch is the essence of heaven and earth, then the gods of heaven are the spirits of heaven and earth. The two represent the earthly evil and the heavenly Gang respectively, one turbid and one clear, which can evolve all things.
The "Shengang" formed by the intercourse of the two can take away the characteristics of Gangqi by swallowing other Gangqi, which is already superficial.
It should not need to swallow and spit out other Gangqi, and it can transform all qi into one!
Yu Lie pondered, and his heart was surging for a while.
Before that, he was worried that the Shengang he condensed was actually extracted from the body of a maggot, and whether the footing would be too inferior.
Now it seems that even if his speculation is wrong, this Shengang thing can be related to the ancient witch and the gods, and its background is definitely not shallow!
You must know that there are so many evil spirits in the world, and their names look very intimidating, inheriting the Daozu and supporting the emperor. But in fact, many evil spirits have little to do with the Daozu and the emperor at all, just pretending to be named, or just happened to be used by someone, and then the name and status jumped up.
In fact, Yu Lie's speculation is indeed true.
The source of Shengang, as he thought, is the blood of the ancient witch and the spirit of the gods, which have been fused for thousands of years.
It's just that the main role in it is not the blood of the ancient witch as he thought.
On the contrary, the blood of the ancient witch only played a role as a medicine in the birth of Shengang, and this spirit was mainly transformed by the divine thoughts of the original god.
The reason for this is that the Dan earthworm maggots have been constantly clearing the divine power remaining in the remains of the ancient witch for tens of thousands of years, leaving no trace, and finally swallowing the breath into their stomachs. After generations of evolution, they have brewed the "Shengang" in their bodies.
Although the guess is a bit biased, Yu Lie's use of this energy to refine the Gang has no effect, but only benefits.
It should be noted that the ancient witch performed the Earth Demon, and the gods became the Heavenly Gang. The latter is more in line with the Taoist's practice of refining the Gang.
In the Purple Mansion.
Yu Lie carefully calculated in his mind how to integrate the ancient witch heritage into his body through the Shengang.
With the memory of the inheritance as an aid, the steps became clearer in his mind...
