Chapter 666 Spirit Island
Lu Yuan was momentarily dazed. The pure spiritual energy rushing towards him was so intense that even his true form, hidden among the mountain giants, found it difficult to adapt. This was a sensation he had never experienced even in the most prestigious spiritual veins of the human realm.
"Hehe, Venerable Lu is indeed from one of the most powerful races in ancient times. In this kind of environment, he doesn't seem to have any obvious discomfort." A Demon Lord noticed Lu Yuan's appearance.
"The Mountain Giants are born from the primordial energy of heaven and earth, unlike us who are so dependent on demonic energy," the woman in the black dress continued.
"In that case, wouldn't Venerable Lu be more suited to guard the island than us?" another Demon Lord joked with a smile.
"What? It's even more uncomfortable here than at sea. I feel sleepy again." Lu Yuan shook his head, pretending to be tired.
“In that case, Venerable Lu, please come ashore and rest for a while. We can’t stay any longer. Not only can we not absorb demonic energy here, but we also have to expend our own magical power to resist the discomfort caused by the spiritual energy.” A demon lord covered in feathers, with a sharp beak and eagle eyes, urged him with a frown.
"Alright, but you must remember to come back on time to relieve me." After Lu Yuan and the others left the giant ship together, he turned to the woman in the black dress and the others and gave them instructions.
After receiving their nods of approval, Lu Yuan transformed into a streak of light and headed straight for Bitter Spirit Island.
Although the effect of using demonic techniques to escape is not optimal in places with abundant spiritual energy, it is still only a distance of about ten miles.
Just a few breaths later, Lu Yuan had already set foot on the island.
Looking back, they saw that the giant ship where Lady Black Dress and her companions had been had vanished without a trace, clearly unwilling to linger there any longer.
Lu Yuan looked around. The island was quiet and peaceful, a stark contrast to the raging thunder sea just now.
However, he didn't rush to do anything. Instead, he casually chose a flat spot and lay down on the spot.
Then, his body was filled with a stone aura, and before long, he turned into a stone statue and never moved again.
Half a day later, on the giant ship where the woman in the black dress and other venerable ones were located near the edge of the Thunder Sea close to Bitter Spirit Island.
"This guy really fell asleep the moment he lay down, and even petrified himself. It seems he won't wake up anytime soon." The venerable one with hawk-like eyes and a sharp beak gleamed with black light as he gazed through the thunderstorm toward the direction of Bitter Spirit Island.
"Then there shouldn't be any problem. Let's go back. Although this giant ship can withstand thunderstorms, it will inevitably suffer damage over time," a Venerable said impatiently.
However, the woman in the black dress was still somewhat uneasy, so she released her divine sense to explore. However, under the suppression of the thunderstorm and the spiritual energy of Bitter Spirit Island, her divine sense could only barely reach the edge of the island and could not penetrate it at all.
"Alright, let's go back first. We'll come back to check when we have the chance." With that, the woman in the black dress steered the giant ship slowly around and headed out of the sea of thunder. The other Venerables also breathed a sigh of relief and found places to rest on the ship.
The stone statue that Lu Yuan had transformed into lay there for almost half a month before the outer layer of stone peeled off. Then it flew to the edge of the Thunder Sea and explored inwards for a long time.
After confirming that the woman in the black dress and her companions had indeed left, Lu Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then its main body separated from the mountain giant, greedily breathing in the pure spiritual energy of this world.
......
Three years later, five-colored spiritual clouds gathered above Bitter Spirit Island, and a joyful roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
"Finally, I've recovered to the Nascent Soul stage." Lu Yuan felt the long-lost spiritual power within his body, and his heart was filled with joy.
Now that his cultivation has returned to the Nascent Soul stage, Lu Yuan is much more confident.
He looked into the depths of the island, pondered for a moment, and then a look of certainty flashed in his eyes.
Demonic light surged from the mountain giant beside them, and several figures appeared one after another.
These are three external avatars: the Azure Phoenix, the Rending Wind Beast, and the Devouring Sky Beast, each possessing the cultivation level of the Integration Stage.
"With the cultivation of the Nascent Soul stage, we should be able to withstand the concentration of spiritual energy at the center." Lu Yuan took a deep breath and led his four avatars toward the center of the island.
After a while, after flying over a plain and several dense forests, a cluster of peaks finally appeared ahead, each one tall and beautiful, exuding the fragrance of grass and trees.
In the original story, Han Li and his group found this place in no time by using the secret methods of the Holy Maiden of a Thousand Autumns.
Although Lu Yuan didn't have that ability, his years of arduous cultivation on the island had given him a thorough understanding of the flow of spiritual energy there.
Hidden beneath those towering peaks lies the valley where the Spirit Cleansing Pool is located.
Lu Yuan led his avatar forward slowly, and the closer they got to the mountains, the richer the spiritual energy became.
Finally, Lu Yuan stopped above one of the mountain peaks.
A golden light flashed behind his head, and an ancient hexagonal jade disc flew out, from which thousands of sword beams surged forth. Then, one became two, two became four, and in the blink of an eye, they transformed into countless golden sword lights that swept across the sky like a storm, slashing wildly towards the mountain peaks below.
At the same time, the Azure Phoenix incarnation made a hand seal and summoned the Zhenyuan Mace.
The Rending Wind Beast wielded the Blood Sword Demon Spear, unleashing the full power of the two treasures.
As the Devouring Beast expanded and contracted, large amounts of thick, green slime rained down on the mountain peak, instantly igniting a raging green fire.
The mountain giant pointed to the sky, and a dark, sky-covering seal flew out, instantly growing into a small mountain hundreds of feet high, which slammed down on the mountain peak with immense power.
Then he gestured with both hands toward two distant mountain peaks, causing the earth to tremble and rumble.
Under the mountain giant's innate supernatural power to uproot mountains and throw the sun, the two mountain peaks rose from the ground and were hurled at each other.
In an instant, sword light, giant seals, and numerous spells intertwined and engulfed the entire mountain peak. Several other nearby mountains were also affected and instantly turned to ashes.
Before long, the void at the mountain peaks rippled like the surface of water, and then, with a blur of gold, two even taller, verdant giant peaks suddenly appeared behind the destroyed mountains.
Between the two mountain peaks, there is a valley shrouded in a green aura.
From afar, a massive, milky-white pillar of light shot into the sky from the valley, disappearing into the void as if reaching the highest heavens.
"The Heavenly Pillar of Lingxiao!" Upon seeing the valley and the silver pillar of light, Lu Yuan was so excited that he transformed into a long rainbow and shot off.
However, after a few flashes, Lu Yuan disappeared into the layer of green light that enveloped the valley.
As Lu Yuan had expected, the green light kept the mountain giant and the other incarnations outside, apparently because these incarnations cultivated with demonic energy as their foundation.
However, none of that mattered anymore, because at this moment, Lu Yuan's true form was already in a colorful world, and everywhere his eyes fell, there were countless tiny points of five-colored light.
