I use myths to create immortality

Chapter 59: Alien Mantis Scorpion, Twin Lotus
There was a whistling sound in my ears and the scene in front of my eyes changed rapidly; it was as if the stars had shifted and the world had changed in an instant.

In an instant, there was a bright light in front of me and my feet landed steadily on the ground. All around me was a continuous and dense forest, just like in the wilderness.

Ji Yuan looked up and saw a silver moon in the sky, illuminating the entire world. It was obviously not the original world.

"The spiritual energy here is several times richer than that of the outside world! Even if you don't take spiritual medicine, you will make rapid progress by practicing here." Ji Yuan sighed.

It is worthy of being a spiritual realm, the spiritual energy is richer than that of the ancestral altar Kunwu Mountain.

But no one really practices in the spiritual realm. The spiritual realm usually takes more than ten years to appear, and as little as three to five years; otherwise, it will collapse.

If you can't get out at that time, you will be pulled into the void as the spiritual realm collapses, and your whole body will be turned into dust.

The appearance of a spiritual realm is rare and its opening time is short; there are countless spiritual medicines in it, and practicing in it is simply a waste of resources.

For Ji Yuan, entering the spiritual realm to search for spiritual medicines is secondary; the main purpose is to find spiritual treasures and rare treasures that can be used to refine mythical treasures.

There was a lake in front of him; after entering the spiritual realm, the landing point was random. Ji Yuan landed at the edge of the lake, surrounded by ancient trees dozens of feet high.

Looking around, there was nothing there; only lakes and wild forests; it was completely silent, without even the sound of birds, animals or insects; it was extremely quiet.

But after practicing magic power, he has a wonderful sense of the unity of man and nature; he can sense at least hundreds of magical powers within a radius of hundreds of miles.

This means that there are actually quite a few Xuanjun Sect monks on the opposite side of the lake or in the surrounding mountains and forests.

Ji Yuan restrained his energy, hid in the treetops and shade, and took out the map of the spiritual realm.

This map has marks on it the areas that Lingqiong Zhenren has explored.

The entire spiritual realm is approximately 10,000 miles in radius, surrounded by poisonous swamps, and outside is the shadow void. Any cultivator who enters will surely die.

The lake where he was currently located was on the eastern edge of the spiritual realm, not far from the poisonous swamp.

There are treasures in the poisonous swamp, but they are very rare and quite dangerous. The closer you get to the center of the spiritual realm, the more spiritual objects and treasures you will find.

Especially the center of the spiritual realm, which is where the most cultivators are; there are also many ruins of mansions; but it is too dangerous and even True Person Lingqiong does not dare to go there, as she does not know the specific situation of the central area.

“There are remains of a mansion; this must be a paradise opened up by some great ancient being; maybe there are magical treasures there.” Ji Yuan stepped into the ancient pine forest and headed towards the center of the spiritual realm.

In ancient times, those who were stronger than Dao Miao had many special abilities; opening up the spiritual realm outside the world was one of them.

According to records in books, among the heavens, the realms are divided into five categories: blessed land, spiritual realm, cave heaven, small thousand, and great thousand.

There is no material in the blessed land; it can only allow spirits to enter; it usually manifests in the netherworld.

The spiritual realm and the cave heaven already have matter and various biological cycles, just like the real world. The only flaw is that it cannot be eternal; with the fall of the great power that opened up the spiritual realm, the spiritual realm will eventually collapse.

Xiao Qian and Da Qian are the creation of heaven and earth, with vast boundaries, abundant resources, and even self-contained cultivation systems; they cannot be artificially developed by humans, immortals, gods, or demons.

While walking in the ancient pine forest, a "hissing" sound was heard, and a black shadow as thick as a thumb bit towards Ji Yuan's neck from the abrupt thorns on the treetops beside him.

Ji Yuan stretched out his hand and pinched it tightly with his fingertips. It felt slippery and cold to the touch.

It turned out to be a gray-brown poisonous snake as thick as a thumb. Ji Yuan pinched the snake's gill neck at his fingertips, and kept raising and turning the snake's head, opening its white and thin fangs. A drop of yellow venom flowed out of its sharp fangs.

"The spiritual realm is indeed dangerous. If I hadn't practiced the mysterious skills of gods and demons and had quick reactions, I would have almost been killed." Ji Yuan pinched the snake's head slightly and crushed it to pieces.

There is something strange about this poisonous snake. It does not reveal any aura, and its heartbeat is extremely slow. Its gray-brown body seems to be integrated with the tree trunk.

Ji Yuan walked up to it but didn't notice it.

He only realized it when a poisonous snake suddenly attacked him.

Fortunately, he has mastered the mysterious skills of gods and demons, has extraordinary martial arts and extremely quick reactions, otherwise he would have been in trouble.

Not long after walking into the pine and cypress forest, he sensed two Xuanjun Sect monks dozens of miles away.

Ji Yuan restrained his breath. The two men's magical powers were not very high, and the two sides were separated by dozens of miles; they did not notice Ji Yuan.

Reach out and grab a wisp of wind.

Faint words floated in the wind.

"Hahaha, we are so lucky. Senior Brother Wang, please protect me. I will go touch the corpse first."

"Wait! This person is completely black. He was bitten to death by a strange mantis scorpion in the pine and cypress forest. The poison is fatal if it comes into contact with a person. He may be nearby. We have to be careful." Senior Brother Wang reminded.

"Eh? Brother, there is a hole over there. Let me go in and take a look."

"Don't go in! The scorpion's nest is in the cave. Don't disturb them rashly. You are looking for death!" Senior Brother Wang's voice suddenly became urgent.

It seemed that he was trying to stop his companions.

"Brother, why did you take out the Twin Iron Lotus that we worked so hard to snatch? The spiritual energy of this thing can float for hundreds of miles and will be noticed by other cultivators. Hurry and keep it!"

"No! Junior Brother Qi, I remember you brought two water-avoiding talismans with you. Do you see the stream over there?"

"Brother, what are you saying?"

"Yes, mantis scorpions are most afraid of water. You and I will use the water-avoiding talisman to hide in the pool, and then place the Twin Iron Lotus here, hehe..."

"Brother Wang, what you mean is that we should use the Twin Iron Lotus to attract other cultivators, and then we can search for the corpses after they are stung to death by the poisonous scorpion."

"good."

"What if someone else picks our Twin Iron Lotus?"

"Is the weapon in your hand a vegetarian? Can you let someone take away the elixir that has already entered our mouths?" Senior Brother Wang sneered.

"As expected of you, Senior Brother! Okay, I'll do as you say."

Then the sound in the wind disappeared.

There was only the faint fragrance of elixir, which was extremely conspicuous and wafted within hundreds of miles around.

"There are so many heroes in the world..." Ji Yuan sighed as he smelled the aroma of the elixir.

The alien mantis scorpion is a poisonous creature that lives in groups in the spiritual realm. It is only the size of a grain of rice, and is extremely ferocious. Its stinger can be quite powerful. It can bite a person silently, and even a cultivator will have his blood coagulated and swell to death.

This poisonous insect has the same function as the centipede wasp.

The Twin Iron Lotus is a magical medicine that can heal the damaged soul and spirit. It is extremely rare in the outside world.

This strange fragrance wafts across hundreds of miles, and I'm afraid the medicine is no less than five thousand years old.

Ji Yuan was not interested in the Twin Iron Lotuses; instead, he was quite interested in the alien mantis scorpion.

For Ji Yuan now, the only use of the spiritual juice produced by the centipede bee is to strengthen the body and be used to practice the mysterious skills of gods and demons.

It is no longer able to keep up with the times when used in fighting.

It can't even be used for exploration and searching.

[Call the Wind and Summon the Rain] The application of the supernatural power is to catch a wisp of wind to find out good and bad luck thousands of miles away.

After three hundred years of cultivation, he has acquired magical powers and is able to sense the slightest movement within a radius of dozens of miles.

The exploration distance of the centipede bee is only a little over one mile.

This treasure was originally used for battle formations, sneak attacks and killing of enemy generals and aliens. It was a first-class secret technique.

In other words, it is used to deal with mortals, not to deal with immortals.

Perhaps if we collect that nest of alien mantis scorpions unique to the spiritual realm and use them to cultivate more centipede bees, perhaps we can upgrade the centipede bee bag.

Ji Yuan did not go over to look for the mantis scorpion immediately, as there were two yellow birds lying in ambush over there.

The strange fragrance of the elixir wafted for hundreds of miles; all the monks exploring in the shade of the pine and cypress forests could smell it, and they all headed towards the place where the elixir was with excitement on their faces.

They don't have the ability to predict good or bad luck by catching the wind like Ji Yuan does.

So in just one hour, dozens of streams of light flew from the sky to where the mantis scorpion was.

Soon screams were heard, and the mantis scorpion stung him to death.

There was indeed a strange person among them who used the smoke of sandalwood to drive away poisonous insects and obtained the Twin Iron Lotus.

But before he could be happy for a few seconds, in the pool a few hundred steps away, a talisman arrow broke through the air with a "whoosh" sound, piercing the man's heart and nailing him to the ground.

The two Xuanjun sect disciples in the pond jumped out to touch the corpse, searched it clean, and burned it to ashes with fire talismans.

Then he continued to hide in the pool and waited for the next wave of monks attracted by the fragrance of the elixir.

In this way, in just half a day, the two Xuanjun sect disciples killed more than thirty cultivators.

Ji Yuan had been searching for elixirs in the pine and cypress forests, while keeping an eye on the situation over there and counting the number of heads for the two men.

After about another five or six hours, more than seventy monks from the pine and cypress forests within a radius of several hundred miles had run over and lost their lives.

The number of people who came here is gradually decreasing.

"It's almost done. We've killed more than seventy people. The talisman arrows of those two men have almost been used up. It's time to go over there..." Ji Yuan estimated that it was almost done, so he walked over there.

He has mastered the mystical arts of gods and demons, and his body is strong and he has the power of divine movement. With just one step, he can be several feet away.

It landed silently and quietly.

All that could be seen was a shadow in hemp clothes in the forest. It flashed by in an instant and was only three feet away. Then it landed on the ground and disappeared without a trace.

It was a large pile of sand, several feet high, very conspicuous in the shade of the trees. There was a large cave on the pile, full of spiritual energy, and the mantis scorpion's nest was inside the pile.

A light green lotus the size of a washbasin, full of inspiration, took root in front of the mantis scorpion's nest.

Ji Yuan walked about ten steps away from the huge mound and looked around.

The sound of water splashing was heard. About a hundred steps away, a small stream gathered into a pool of water about ten feet wide.

Two Xuanjun sect disciples borrowed the water-avoiding talisman, held the talisman crossbow loaded with arrows, and hid in the pool.

They were all delighted when they saw the young man in hemp clothes walking not far from the mantis scorpion's nest.

"I thought we had killed everyone around us, but I didn't expect someone else to come." Junior Brother Qi thought to himself. "Could this guy also have a secret technique to conceal his breath? Why didn't the mantis scorpion come out to bite him?" Senior Brother Wang's heart froze.

But no matter what they thought, the two of them quietly aimed the crossbow at Ji Yuan's vest and chest.

This kind of crossbow is forged with fine steel and has a string made of cow tendon. It is not afraid of blisters and is not a magic instrument.

But the crossbow's loss was extremely extraordinary.

The crossbow was made of special spiritual materials, and then engraved with talismans. It was shot out silently and at an extremely fast speed.

It can easily smash a stone as big as a millstone into pieces from a hundred steps away.

The Talisman Crossbow is the standard weapon of the elite imperial guards of the Human Dynasty and is not considered a precious item.

But because it is powerful and silent, it is very useful for launching sneak attacks on unsuspecting monks.

Ji Yuan cupped his hands in his sleeves, holding the centipede bee bag in his hands. The insect-control talisman on the centipede bee bag lit up. With the help of the centipede bee's aura, the mantis scorpion did not come out to bite him from the deep sand pile.

These centipede bees were all transformed by devouring the rare red fruit from the Immortal Palace. There are more than 300 centipede bees, and almost every one of them is as powerful as a real monster.

Even though the mantis scorpion is an alien poisonous insect, it is still a mortal after all. It's just that its venom is very strong. It has no magic power or supernatural powers and is far inferior to the centipede bee.

So when they sensed the presence of the centipede bees outside, they were like Gongfeng encountering a hornet, extremely scared and didn't dare to come out at all.

Even so, Ji Yuan did not take it lightly.

When a lion hunts a rabbit, it also needs to use all its strength.

He was in a state of tension the whole time. After waiting for a long time, the two people hiding in the pool did not shoot him with talismans.

He knew that they were planning to wait for him to let down his guard, pick the Twin Iron Lotuses, and when he was surprised and relaxed, they would kill him with the talisman crossbow.

Ji Yuan walked over, turned his back to the pond, squatted down, and slowly dug out the twin iron lotuses on the ground.

The iron lotus actually did not take root in the ground, but only buried its roots shallowly in the soil. The picking technique was very sophisticated and did not damage the roots of the magical medicine at all.

In fact, any monk who comes here can find out something is wrong if he is calmer.

First of all, this place doesn't look like a place where elixirs grow for thousands of years.

But in this case.

Anyone would be happy and relaxed if they could obtain a rare and precious elixir that is ten thousand years old without any effort.

Especially since this elixir is actually in his hand and inside his treasure bag.

"It turns out to be a thousand-year-old elixir, which is even stronger than I imagined. No wonder so many cultivators are so happy and distracted when they come here..." Ji Yuan sighed in his heart, but he was not distracted by it, and just pretended to relax.

But even so, there was no movement behind him for a long time.

If he didn't know that the two Xuanjun sect monks were hiding in the pool.

Ji Yuan couldn't help but become distracted by joy.

Ji Yuan pretended to be delighted and stood up. He looked around as if he was afraid of being seen, and stuffed the lotus into his treasure bag.

It was at this moment, under the pool.

"It's time to die!" Senior Brother Wang's eyes flashed with cold light.

Wang and Qi pulled the trigger almost at the same time in tacit understanding.

The two crossbows that had been aimed at Ji Yuan for a long time were activated at the same time.

"Duo!" 'Duo!', two bowstring sounds rang out.

A black arrow over two feet long flew towards them, with the tip of the arrow flashing with cold light.

The arrow missed in mid-air, making almost no sound.

And the speed was as fast as lightning. In an instant, it was behind Ji Yuan, which made people feel cold.

There is no time to react at all.

If Ji Yuan hadn't been prepared.

Even someone with his magical powers might be defeated by a sudden close-range attack from a talisman crossbow.

"It's finally here!" The magical power of [Call the Wind and Summon the Rain] that had been prepared for a long time was activated, and a sudden wind blew within a few feet of Ji Yuan.

Wisps of silver air, condensed into substance, floated within a few feet of the body.

"Crack, crack, crack." The two lost arrowheads were only two or three inches away from the corner of Ji Yuan's clothes, but were tightly wrapped by the dense silver wind, losing their power and unable to move forward anymore.

"What!!"

"Supernatural power!"

Wang and Qi, who were holding the talisman crossbows, looked at the talisman arrow wrapped in the silver wind and exclaimed in shock in unison.

Before they could think more.

"Crack, crack, crack" the arrow made of Tianhe crystal sand was actually twisted into pieces by the powerful force of the silver wind.

When Ji Yuan swept his sleeves, densely packed tiny fragments, like countless darts and flying needles, flew towards him under the mighty wind.

"Run!" Senior Brother Wang was really experienced and reacted very quickly. He almost ran away the instant he saw the talisman crossbow fail to shoot.

Without hesitation, he dropped the crossbow and jumped out of the pool.

The jade talisman that he had been holding in his hand turned into a cloud of mist that wrapped around his body and flew away into the air like lightning.

Junior Brother Qi still thought that Ji Yuan hadn't discovered where they were, and was still hiding in the pool in a daze, not having recovered from the shock of the failure of the crossbow shooting.

He was not like that 'old Jianghu' senior brother, who already had the 'Cloud Escape Talisman' in his hand.

There was no time to escape the talisman from his waist bag now.

All this happened in a flash, but in fact it only took a moment.

The powerful force of the magical power broke countless arrows into pieces, tearing the air with a loud bang, and they shot a hundred steps like snowflakes, all flying into the narrow pool of water a few feet away.

"Ah...Puhuhu..." A shrill scream mixed with the crisp sound of a sharp blade entering flesh rang out.

In the clear pool, a puff of red water rose up first, and then the still twitching corpse, pierced by arrows and fragments, slowly floated to the surface.

The crossbow in his hand sank into the water, which was about ten feet deep.

Ji Yuan's attention was not here; he didn't even glance at the pond.

After using his magical power to easily sweep back the fragments of the arrow, his attention was always on the 'Senior Brother Wang' who was flying into the sky with the talisman.

"Cloud-rising Talisman?" Ji Yuan stared at the cloud of light that broke through the air.

Soaring into the clouds is the patent of powerful beings who have existed for more than ten thousand years.

It requires extremely high levels of Taoism and magical powers.

Ordinary monks and demons ride on the mist and control the wind.

The disciple of Xuanjun who escaped must have used some kind of life-saving talisman. No wonder he ran away so quickly.

In just a moment, it had reached the sky, and in the blink of an eye, the cloud light almost flew a thousand miles away.

“Where are you escaping to!” Ji Yuan stretched out his hand and made a move, gathering all his magic power, and exerted his full power to summon the wind and rain.

"Boom!" A thunderclap resounded in the spiritual realm, and the area within a radius of hundreds of miles became dark in an instant. The wind blew like lightning, cutting through the void and covering thousands of miles.

The trees and the void were shaking in all directions, and the silver moon in the sky was swaying as if it was about to fall.

Ji Yuan's expression changed slightly and he quickly retracted his strength.

The entire spiritual realm was almost on the verge of collapse under this kind of magical power.

After all, this is not the six realms of the wild world outside.

It is just the spiritual realm of the law domain formed by the ancient powerful people.

For this reason, cultivators above the Tongxuan level are not allowed to enter.

When a powerful Tongxuan master enters the spiritual realm, he doesn't need to cast any spells. He just needs to fully expand the Three Flowers and Five Qi, and the spiritual realm will be directly destroyed by the sudden influx of powerful force.

It is for this reason that, in the entire Small Thousand Realms, the Tongxuan Realm is called the "Heavenly Immortal". To those ant cultivators in the Small Thousand Realms, their divine power can easily destroy the heavens and the earth.

That is to say, in the Great Wilderness of the Six Realms, one is no better than a dog, and only when the profound is everywhere can the mysteries of Tao be shaken.

In the Great Wilderness of the Six Realms, Ji Yuan's ability to call the wind and rain has a maximum range of one hundred miles; if he summons the wind, it can also reach a distance of a thousand miles.

But once you go beyond a hundred miles, you can no longer control it freely.

But in this spiritual realm, Ji Yuan's magical power was almost amplified tenfold.

He didn't dare to use his full strength at all; when he used only 60% of his strength, he felt that his spiritual realm was about to collapse.

"Ah!!" The middle-aged disciple of Xuanjun Sect flew a hundred miles away in an instant, was swept by the wind in the air, and spun like a wheel in the sky, and flew back.

The Tengyun Divine Talisman burst out with power, trying to compete with the power of the magical powers of heaven and earth.

Faced with the vast and endless power of heaven and earth induced by the magical power, it was as if it was confronting the entire spiritual world. In just a moment, the jade talisman shattered.

With a "bang", the wind blew back and knocked the disciple of Xuanjun Sect to the ground.

Such power, the wind swept across thousands of miles; the sky was dark and the earth was dark. In the spiritual realm which was only ten thousand miles wide, many people looked up in shock.

There will be more later. I will first post a chapter of 5,000 words, and then another 5,000 words later. The amount will increase but not the update. They will all be big chapters. Hahahaha.
