Holding the Sui Ren lamp in his hand, Feng Ye's lamp wick flickered, emitting a red glow that protected him. The light illuminated the dark valley as he slowly moved forward.
This nameless valley was as eerie as it had always been. However, for some reason, despite the numerous corpses and heavy yin energy, there were no miasma or poisonous fogs, and not even venomous insects or plants grew here. Even the evil spirits and ghosts were absent. It was a dead silence, like a tranquil realm of the dead, undisturbed by the living.
Since the Sui Ren lamp was a sacred fire of human virtue, pure and yang, and also imbued with golden light of merit, the yin energy in the valley would be dispelled by the lamp's flame whenever it approached. Indeed, the treasures of merit had many uses. In the future, if he had more of them, even the great sages and quasi-saints would not dare to easily attack him.
Just as Feng Ye was lost in thought, the dragon bone hanging around his neck suddenly trembled, faintly pointing in a direction. Feng Ye's heart stirred, and he followed the direction indicated by the dragon bone, gradually arriving at a corner. Unlike other places with numerous bones, this corner had only the remains of two giant beasts, and the scene was extremely chaotic, indicating that the two beasts had fought each other to the death. Next to them was a three-meter-long bone spike. From its aura, it seemed to be of the same origin as his dragon bone.
Did the two giant beasts fight over the dragon bone and die together? Feng Ye couldn't help but think of a possibility. It seemed that this dragon bone was far more valuable than he had imagined. From the residual auras of the two beasts, they were no weaker than he was. They had even fought to the death for the dragon bone, truly showing how wealth and treasures can move the heart.
Pulling out the bone spike, a golden light suddenly shot up, directly impacting Feng Ye's mind.
A dragon's roar echoed in Feng Ye's mind, and a golden dragon rolled within it. Without hesitation, Feng Ye immediately sat down to guard his spirit, activating the Taiji rune to summon yin-yang lotus flowers to protect his spirit.
At the beginning of Taiji, yin and yang were generated. Taiji moved to create yang, and when movement reached its extreme, it became still, and stillness gave birth to yin. When stillness reached its extreme, it would move again. Movement and stillness are interdependent, dividing into yin and yang. The Two Instruments were established...
After all, achieving the spirit and consolidating the soul, combined with early precautions and the defense of the Taiji true rune, he managed to avoid being overwhelmed by the impact. However, it was now a stalemate.
Feng Ye's spirit sat on a yin-yang lotus, holding the Taiji true rune, with the dragon soul imprint suppressed beneath the lotus. Although he currently had the upper hand, the golden dragon was not docile and occasionally resisted. Since it was Feng Ye's mind, the struggle affected him directly.
Feng Ye let out a muffled groan, and blood began to flow from his nose. His face turned grim.
After all, who would willingly have a time bomb in their mind? And this bomb would occasionally interfere with him. If this continued, he would have no time to practice peacefully, and if he encountered a fight, it would be even more tragic.
Summoning the Sui Ren lamp, a Sui fire appeared in Feng Ye's mind. As mentioned before, the Sui fire was a power Feng Ye had awakened, which would not harm him since it was of the same origin. Additionally, the Sui fire contained a thread of divinity, which was the ultimate condensation of the spirit. With divinity as the root, it evolved into a divine soul, similar to the Daoist spirit, making it excellent for eliminating consciousness.
Not long after, a dragon's roar echoed in his mind, but this time it was clearly a cry of sorrow. With the help of the Sui fire, his spirit devoured the remnant soul of the golden dragon, thus gaining new inheritance.
Reviewing the inheritance combined with the original dragon bone, he found it to be quite profound, especially in the use of various spells and powers.
In this era, brute force was valued over skill, and techniques, elixirs, and talismans were not given much importance. Now, cultivators pursued the Great Dao, and beyond the Dao, there was nothing else, with at most a need for spiritual treasures.
Some say that in terms of cultivation, the present is inferior to the past. But everything has a process and order. The oldest cultivation methods are not necessarily the most powerful.
The initial cultivation method was summarized in sixteen characters: refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, refining spirit into emptiness, and refining emptiness into the Dao.
And these sixteen characters did not appear out of nowhere; they were the result of countless people's continuous improvements and accumulated experience.
The Buddhist school emphasizes the rise and fall of things. The Daoist school also has the cycle of prosperity and decline, the generation and destruction of the Five Elements.
Everything has an evolutionary process. Now, since the establishment of the Hunyuan Dao by Hongjun, the Daoist school was in its early stages, far from the peak of prosperity. Many things were not yet comprehensive, such as alchemy and talismans, which were not yet well-developed.
Now, those techniques were the personal experiences of the great sages, and there was no summary or dissemination.
Feng Ye pondered for a while, shook his head, and thought that these things were too profound for him to understand immediately. He decided to return and explore further. After all, this place was not his own cave, and it was not safe. Caution was always the best policy.
After moving forward for a while, a sense of danger suddenly arose in Feng Ye's mind. He immediately summoned the Sui Ren lamp, and a golden light shield protected him. It was truly a case of speaking of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao appears. He had just mentioned the fear of danger, and now it had come.
"Clang—" A collision sound was heard, and a bone sword appeared outside the golden light shield. Then, a black-robed creature appeared nearby. The black-robed creature was quite strong, about three meters tall, and more like a demon than a human, as it had a tiger's head with five red eyes!
Indeed, this was the age of the primordial world, where anything was possible, Feng Ye silently thought. After a quick calculation, the creature's strength was not at the Celestial Immortal level but rather at the spirit level, slightly below his own. Feeling a bit more at ease, he looked at the creature.
Seeing that his ambush had failed, the black-robed creature pulled out a black banner with a strange image of a fierce deity. The creature waved the banner at Feng Ye, and a large group of fierce souls with bared teeth and open mouths rushed towards him.
Feng Ye raised an eyebrow and gently blew on the Sui Ren lamp. A thread of Sui fire burned towards the creature. The Sui Ren lamp dispelled all evil, and it was particularly effective against the creature. Then, Feng Ye increased the thickness of the golden light shield formed by the Sui Ren lamp, prioritizing defense to ensure his survival.
Seeing this, the creature pointed at the black banner, and a black mist emerged from it, enveloping itself.
Feng Ye raised an eyebrow, thinking, "Copying me? Is that all? You underestimate the Sui fire too much. The Sui fire, though ordinary, is the first flame of human virtue, refined from three meritous spiritual objects, and blessed by human virtue. Can a mere black banner defend against it, especially when the banner is clearly an evil object made from souls, inherently suppressed by the Sui fire?"
Suddenly, a惨叫声响起。那怪物果然因为轻敌被燧火烧伤。
眼见自己占据优势,风烨岂会放过机会。雷法!天雷克妖邪,虽然风烨这时候还没有招来天雷的修为,但是丙火法雷还是可以的。
接着一阵雷法的招呼,那怪物本来就受伤了,这下更是出气多进气少了。
眼见怪物即将死去,直接催动神念,搜索那家伙的魂魄,探查那怪物的来历。
果然!那怪物原形正是一只老虎。它也跟风烨一样误入这山谷中,那老虎曾经啃了一些白骨,渐渐开了灵智,毕竟这些白骨尸骸原来也曾是一些异兽凶兽。自然精气充足。至于那些魔道法门,是在这山谷中找到的。根据虎妖的记忆,是因为啃了一具白骨,脑海中凭空出现修炼之法,因此才会的那些邪法。想来与自己一般,只是自己是从龙骨中获得的精神传承。而那老虎是从那魔骨中得到的精神传承。

A scream of pain echoed. The creature was indeed injured by the Sui fire due to its underestimation.
Seeing his advantage, Feng Ye would not let the opportunity slip. Lightning technique! Heavenly lightning overcomes demons and evil, and although Feng Ye did not yet have the cultivation to summon heavenly lightning, he could still use the Fire Lightning technique.
A series of lightning techniques followed, and the already injured creature was now barely breathing.
Seeing the creature about to die, Feng Ye directly activated his divine consciousness to search for the creature's soul and investigate its origin.
Indeed! The creature's true form was a tiger. It had also mistakenly entered this valley, and the tiger had once gnawed on some bones, gradually developing intelligence. After all, these bones and corpses were once powerful beasts, naturally rich in essence. As for the evil cultivation methods, it found them in the valley. According to the tiger demon's memory, it was because it gnawed on a bone that the cultivation techniques appeared in its mind, leading it to learn those evil techniques. It seemed similar to his own experience, except that he had obtained his mental inheritance from the dragon bone, while the tiger had obtained its mental inheritance from the evil bone.
