The mortal's candle dragon opens the sky

Chapter 58: Peng King Skeleton
Under the sea abyss, there is the Red Flame Cave.

A simple young boy, a middle-aged man in red armor, and a slender dragon coiled in a winding manner, sat opposite each other.

"Father, do you know anything about the forbidden area of ​​the Xinghai Jiaolong Clan?"

The middle-aged man in red armor was none other than Xu Yan after his transformation. Upon hearing this, he gently stroked his reddened beard, with a flash of reminiscence in his eyes.

"Forbidden area? You mean the Ten Thousand Dragon Cave? That was about five thousand years ago, when I was just at level six. At that time, the ninth level elder of the Scarlet Fire Dragon lineage passed away. I followed my father to bury the elder's remains, and I was lucky enough to go there once. Do you want to break into the Ten Thousand Dragon Cave? This is an extremely taboo thing, and you will be hunted down by all the dragons."

Xuyang shook his head in denial.

"To honor the deceased, even an unintelligent beast would not do such a thing as insulting the remains of its ancestors. I want to talk about the dragon scale fruit tree! Does father have any impression of it?"

"Dragon scale fruit tree? For thousands of years, before Li Jiu and I became fellow practitioners, I was the only Red Fire Dragon. I was a poor boy who was ignored by everyone and excluded from the core group of the tribe. My father was not good at socializing either. Well, I've never heard of it." The sturdy man concentrated and thought carefully.

"Waiter, I know." At this time, Li Jiuda on the side opened and closed his mouth a few times and uttered a voice message.

"Oh? Mother knows. Tell me quickly. That dragon scale fruit tree will be of great use to me." Xuyang's eyes lit up.

Li Jiu hesitated for a moment, and then began to tell the story slowly after a while.

"Before I left Lilong Island, the newly promoted Golden Dragon King visited and came to discuss things with the clan leader, Lihuo Dragon King. As the clan leader's descendant, I heard a few words when I gave them spiritual fruits. At that time, the Golden Dragon King was showing off his treasures. From his words, I only knew that in the middle of the abyss, not far from the Golden Dragon King's cave, there was an underwater cave where this kind of fruit tree grew. It is said that it has incredible benefits for the tempering of the dragon's body. However, the number is too small, and it is monopolized by the Golden Dragon lineage and never shared. After the Golden Dragon King left, my uncle complained that the Golden Dragon lineage monopolized the common property of the dragon clan, saying that in ancient times, it was a forest of dragon scale fruits, and every member of the dragon clan could taste it occasionally."

Li Jiu couldn't help but change his tone to one of exhortation when he got to this point, and said earnestly, "Little Er, the Golden Dragon King is now at level ten, and the Dragon Scale Fruit Tree is considered a forbidden delicacy by the Golden Dragon King. You and your son have just transformed, so it's better not to provoke him."

"Don't worry, mother. I got a rare treasure from the human world. I am absolutely sure that I can avoid those high-level demon cultivators and only take the fruit tree. I will not fight with the Golden Dragon King."

Xuyang made an unfathomable expression, looking mysterious.

Afterwards, the three dragons talked for a long time. After Xuyang taught them the high-level spirit gathering formation, the second dragon decided to stay in the Chiyan Cave temporarily and wait for Li Jiu to transform before looking for a better spiritual place. Xuyang did not object. He just left the spirit stones and a bottle of Emperor Liujiang from Xuanyin Island to them, and then said goodbye.

On the day of the tribulation, Feng Xi only ran a hundred miles before he was caught up by Xu Yang. After some effort, he defeated the demon's body and captured its soul. This famous monster in the original novel was left with only an eighth-level demon pill and a pair of wind and fire wings.

Feng Xi, relying on his superb escape technique, loves to travel everywhere. This time, he discovered a cave of an ancient demon cultivator far away from the abyss. He not only obtained the remains of the ancient demon cultivator - the skeleton of Lei Peng in the original book, but also obtained two ancient jade slips left by him, one of which was the ancient demon cultivator's skills and the other was a jade slip recording ancient secrets.

This Lei Peng is an ancient demon cultivator who passed away tens of thousands of years ago. He was born before the invasion of the Demon Realm. Calling himself Lei Peng is just a self-flattering move by this ancient demon cultivator.

In fact, it is just a Dark Electric Peng King with some Thunder Peng blood. The concentration of its blood may not be as high as that of the Ice Phoenix in the Ice Sea. The real pure-blooded Thunder Peng is one of the upper-level true spirits and one of the Twelve Aspects of Jingzhe of Han Lao Mo. How could it disappear quietly in the human world?

The jade slips left by the ancient demon cultivators mentioned a thunder-attributed demon cultivation method, the Dark Lightning Thunder Art, but it could only be practiced by a thunder-attributed demon bird or a demon with thunder-attributed wings. The secret jade slips recorded the invasion of the demons and the advent of the spiritual world cultivators. According to King Peng himself, at the beginning of the war, the battle in the human world became fierce. Many cultivators of the human and demon races in the lower world, and the demons led by the three commanders, seemed to know each other's details. They entered this interface at the same time and used great magical powers to control the vitality of heaven and earth, smashing the human world to pieces.

King Peng was affected in the early stages of the war and was severely injured. In panic, he found a remote and secluded place to sleep and recuperate. When he finished his sleep, the war was already over. The humans, demons, and ancient monks in the lower world had already evacuated, and the demons had also disappeared, leaving only countless devastated battlefields. Only one tenth of the spiritual energy in this world remained.

Before King Peng had the chance to have in-depth contact with both parties, he missed the last chance of ascending. He was severely injured and lost the chance to advance to the God Transformation stage. He could only die of old age in despair.

Otherwise, with its talent of possessing true spiritual blood, even if it cannot advance and ascend on its own, the human, demon and devil races probably will not refuse the allegiance of a spiritual bird of heaven and earth, and will take it away even if it is used as material.

"The invasion of demons is most likely related to the matter of Baohua and the Mother of Corn borers. Could it be that the ancient demon world regards the human world as a retreat or a springboard?" Xuyang silently considered whether he could use this information to make a deal with a certain existence.

Among the ancient books, the ones that are truly useful to Xuyang right now are the last few pages, which record methods of transplanting special spiritual roots such as dragon scale fruit trees.

And this time, if Feng Xi had not accidentally entered the deserted island where Xu Yan was undergoing his tribulation, Xu Yang would not have known that the Wind-Splitting Beast had obtained this opportunity so early. Speaking of which, it was the first time that Xu Yang met a character that appeared in the original work.

However, from the time he was guarding Jiao Fu through the tribulation until now, Xuyang had only found time to check the two ancient jade slips, and had not yet had the leisure to search the soul of the Wind-Splitting Beast.

After leaving the Chiyan Cave for tens of thousands of miles, Xuyang randomly found a coral reef, landed there, and took out a jade box with a forbidden talisman on it. After opening it, a green demon soul appeared in his hand.

Unlike humans who could escape with their Nascent Soul and have a chance to rebuild, the transformed demons had lost their physical bodies and inner elixir, and were basically buried up to their eyebrows. So Feng Xi knew he could not escape, and instead of begging for mercy, he yelled and cursed madly.

"I have always been on good terms with the Jiaolong Clan. How dare you attack your allies? You will not have a good death. I curse you."

Ignoring the shouting and cursing of Feng Xi's demon soul, Xuyang's hand flashed with purple light and he began to search its soul directly.

As expected, in Feng Xi's memory, apart from the appearances and voices of many transformed demon cultivators in the starry sea, and several demon skills, he did not find the location of the dragon scale fruit tree, so Xuyang had to look for it himself.

As for Feng Xi's storage bag, besides the skeleton of King Peng and several thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, there was only a bottle of Green Flame Wine which Feng Xi had spent hundreds of years to refine using the inner elixir of an eighth-level iron-winged eagle as the main ingredient. However, this kind of spiritual wine was not very effective for those in the transformation period and could only satisfy their appetite.

Xuyang looked at this spirit that had fallen into a daze and after thinking for a while, he did not destroy it but collected it. After all, it was the spirit of a transformed demon cultivator and it would definitely come in handy in the future.

Next, Xuyang tapped Fengxi’s storage bag, and a stream of silver light spurted out and landed on the coral.

After the silver light converged, a pair of bone wings about ten feet long, shining with silver light suddenly appeared.
