Chapter 437 One Year Later, the Two Snakes Returned to Their Homeland
Time flies, days and months pass by like shuttles.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Hei has been in seclusion in the Nether Mine for more than a year.
During this year, the storm of spiritual energy has never stopped.
The other three geniuses, Nine-headed Insect, benefited from this, and their cultivation reached perfection, and they were heading towards the Nascent Soul stage.
Xiong Dabao also reached perfection, but felt that his artistic conception was a breath away, so he chose to travel and break through during the travel.
Xu Bai had already born the artistic conception, but her cultivation accumulation was also very slow, and she has not yet reached the great perfection of the Jindan stage.
Finally, after one year and three months, the spiritual energy of the Nether Mine gradually decreased until it disappeared completely.
The spiritual stones were exhausted.
This mine, which had been excavated for five hundred years and benefited countless people in the Penglai Sea, finally died and came to an end.
The frogmen no longer had any need to exist, and they were still wandering around, eating the food provided on time every day, but they had nothing to do, which made them anxious.
The cracks in the formation were automatically repaired a year ago, and they didn't know what happened to the group of frogmen who went out.
They didn't know what was waiting for them.
"Huh!"
Xu Hei opened his eyes and let out a long breath.
This was the first time he opened his eyes after a year and three months of seclusion.
At this moment, the golden elixir in his body was full, and the spiritual energy was overflowing. There was still a lot of spiritual energy stored in the demon god cauldron, forming a lake, which was the symbol of the great perfection of the Jindan stage.
"I have absorbed enough spiritual energy, and I can break through to the Yuanying stage at any time, but I always feel that something is missing." Xu Hei said to himself.
He has comprehended many artistic conceptions, and there is no bottleneck in his cultivation. As long as he is willing, he can reach the Yuanying level directly after another half a month of seclusion.
But he always feels that there is a step missing!
Xu Hei also knows what it is.
——Dragon vein!
He has five complete dragon veins, and the remaining four have signs of taking root and sprouting, but they have never continued to grow.
This Yuanying stage is not a perfect Yuanying.
Just like after Xu Hei built his foundation, a piece of dragon scale was missing, that was not a perfect foundation.
During this period, Xu Hei guessed various possibilities, but he could not find the answer.
This is not something that any senior can give a hint, he can only find it by himself.
"Perhaps, I still have a wish." Xu Hei said.
Speaking of wishes, he had many wishes back then, and destroying the Snake Catcher Sect was the first thing.
Back then, he was forced to leave his hometown by the Snake Catcher Sect and fled to the East China Sea. He was also killed in the face by Xu Qingzhi, like a dog who lost his home. Now, it's time to kill back. With his current strength and means, he is definitely qualified!
"Senior, I want to go back home." Xu Hei said.
"Go."
Yu Jianqiu didn't ask, just nodded calmly.
Compared with last year, his figure has become more transparent, almost becoming translucent, but the sword intent between his eyebrows is still the same.
As long as there is an invading enemy, his sword can still be unsheathed!
Xu Bai opened her eyes. She said nothing, but followed Xu Hei silently.
"Xu Bai, let's go home."
"Yes!"
The two snakes leaped out of the cave, rose from the ground, and rushed into the sky.
In just a moment, he rushed out of the formation of the Nether Mine and came to the outside world.
He hadn't seen the sun for a long time, and the sunlight at this time was a little dazzling.
"Brother Xu, are you going back?"
At this time, another voice appeared, and it was the Nine-headed Insect that chased out.
Compared with last year, the Nine-headed Insect has a completely different temperament. The nine snakes on his head move with the wind, his clothes flutter, his eyes are solemn and upright, and he has the momentum of a king who dominates the world.
He has reached the Nascent Soul stage.
The only thing that remains unchanged is the spotless white robe and the completely symmetrical posture on both sides.
"That's right."
"I just broke through and have nothing to do. Why don't I follow you all the way."
The Nine-headed Insect said that he could vaguely see that Xu Hei was going back to kill people, and with him accompanying him, he could also have an extra helper.
"Thank you so much." Xu Hei accepted it happily.
He went home this time just to fulfill his wish and destroy the Snake Catcher Sect. One more helper would give him more confidence.
"Haha, a year has passed, and you are still in the Jindan stage. I am really disappointed."
At this time, another sarcastic voice appeared underwater.
I saw a big snake with blue scales all over its body, emerging from the water, and appeared above Xu Hei's head as if it was teleported. It looked down at Xu Hei in a condescending manner.
Xu Hei had to raise his head to look at him.
A pair of claws grew on the chest of this sea snake, and two short dragon horns appeared at both ends of its head, and it had turned into the juvenile form of a dragon.
If it wasn't Hai Teng, who else could it be?
"Why are you here?" Xu Hei said in surprise.
"Huh, I just happened to pass by."
Hai Teng said proudly.
Of course he wouldn't say that he had been waiting here for a year.
He wanted to teach Xu Hei a lesson after he broke through, but when he saw that Xu Hei's cultivation was still at the Jindan stage, he was disappointed and lost interest in learning from him.
He didn't want to use his cultivation to suppress others. If he won, it would be shameful, and if he lost... how could it be possible? How could he lose?
Hai Teng suddenly thought of the first time he met Xu Hei, he used his cultivation to suppress others, and he almost lost.
"By the way, you just said you were going back, where?" Hai Teng asked hurriedly.
"To a very far place, it may take about a week to go back and forth." Xu Hei said.
"Middle Earth Shenzhou." Xu Bai added.
"Middle Earth Shenzhou?" Hai Teng was stunned, then sneered: "Haha, what a coincidence, I also have something to do, to find a distant relative."
"..." Xu Hei was speechless.
This guy has obviously changed, but it seems that he has not changed at all.
But Xu Hei would not be as stupid as him to expose it, just followed his meaning and said: "Why don't we go together?"
"Go together? You are a Jindan stage, you have to call me senior when you see me."
Hai Teng raised his head, two pairs of newly grown claws inserted in his waist, and his posture was very arrogant.
Xu Hei was speechless.
Xu Bai couldn't bear to watch it anymore, and hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, senior, is that all right? Also, can you please stop looking down on me?"
Hearing this, Hai Teng narrowed his eyes with joy, and descended from the sky, laughing: "Haha, since you are a young man who is quite sensible, I will go with you."
"I suddenly realized that you are quite asking for a beating."
This was not said by Xu Hei, but by the always silent Nine-headed Insect.
"What are you talking about?"
Haiteng stared at him.
The Nine-headed Insect didn't like to talk too much, and nine snake heads rushed out directly, killing Hai Teng. Hai Teng was not easy to mess with, and immediately launched a strange phenomenon to suppress it, and a war broke out instantly.
The battle between the two geniuses was simple in logic. They had just broken through the Nascent Soul stage, and their hands were itching, and they needed an evenly matched opponent.
As a result, they just bumped into each other.
Xu Hei and Xu Bai were in the center of the battle, but he was not in a hurry. A layer of khaki halo appeared on his body, blocking all the aftermath outside, and his figure did not even retreat half a step.
Looking closely, these khaki haloes turned out to be the free earth spirit energy in the air, which was perfectly controlled by Xu Hei.
Controlling the power of heaven and earth to fight is difficult even for the Nascent Soul stage.
The halo formed by these earth spirit energy is not simply blocking in front of the body, but also combined with each other, with the effect of wearing out all attacks, which can be called absolute defense!
This is just a basic defense method taught by Mo Cang, not a magical power.
Xu Hei watched for a while and saw that the two were not giving up, and they were about to fight for a day and a night, so he said helplessly: "You two take your time, I'll take my leave first!"
Xu Hei flashed away directly.
"Hey!"
"Wait for me!"
Jiu Tou Chong and Hai Teng quickly stopped and chased after Xu Hei.
…………
The road is long and arduous.
Back then, Xu Hei traveled from Yanluo River in Chu State, down the river, and directly reached the East China Sea, which took him half a month.
At that time, he had just formed a pill, and was chased all the way. If he didn't run, he would die.
Today, Xu Hei can enter the Nascent Soul level at any time. He is now much different from the past, and his speed is more than ten times faster than that time.
It only took him one day to rush from the Nether Mine to the estuary, the Hague City.
This was the first time that the Nightmare Demon Lord went out to arrest people. The eight ships were placed on the river, which left a deep impression on Xu Hei.
This time, Xu Hei did not take the form of a snake, but turned into a black-robed human monk.
His fish dragon transformation is more perfect, and he can maintain a half-human form without the transformation pill, but the scales on the surface of his body cannot be eliminated.
Hai Teng and Xu Bai both used the transformation pill, and the nine-headed insect was originally a monster in human form.
"This is my first time in the Central Earth Shenzhou." Hai Teng was quite curious.
As time goes by, the current Hague City no longer has the flag of the Qin State, and the army of the City Lord's Mansion has become the Xiang Family Army.
Xu Hei's spiritual sense swept and learned the news that the Qin Emperor had passed away. Now it is Qin II who is in charge of Qin.
"Oh, there seems to be a war ahead!"
Hai Teng touched his chin, looked in one direction, and then said: "Oh, I almost forgot, you are only in the Jindan stage, and your spiritual sense can't sense that far."
His implication was to mock Xu Hei for his low cultivation.
He didn't know that Xu Hei had discovered the situation ahead, that is, the Xiang Family Army was attacking a small city.
Not only that, Xu Hei could also see from a farther distance that his spiritual sense had unknowingly reached a range of 3,000 miles.
This is farther than the average Yuanying stage.
This only shows that Xu Hei had already made a breakthrough in spiritual sense.
"Yes, there is indeed a war, but it is over." Xu Hei said.
Now, it was Hai Teng's turn to be surprised.
Hai Teng didn't believe it. He flew forward for a while and found that what Xu Hei said was true.
Xu Hei didn't want to compete in this regard. He rushed to the direction of the Snake Catching Sect at the fastest speed.
"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"
Four streams of light flashed in the air. Except for a few top masters in the Jindan stage, the rest were difficult to detect.
Four Yuanying-level combat forces, this can walk sideways anywhere in the Central Plains!
