Chapter 598: Sword Raising Gourd
"If you don't have the method to live forever, it will be nothing but a passing cloud in the end."

Ye Yang was silent for a moment and said nothing.

He knew that this new law was not as simple as it appeared.

Although I haven't come into contact with it much, but just from a quick glance, I can already see many unusual things in the Holy Emperor's Military Manual.

Although the text is simple and not complicated, it is unique and goes straight to the point, and seems to contain profound truth.

At this moment, he was sensitive to the contempt and disdain in the words of the North Sea Goddess.

But at this moment, this kind of disdain is more like a special method of spiritual victory.

"These practitioners only worship the past and despise the present. They talk about things that must have been passed down from ancient times, but they don't know that the world is ever-changing. No wonder they have been suppressed by the Dayun Dynasty until now."

"If all practitioners think in this way, even if they win temporarily now, they will be defeated sooner or later in the future."

"But the aftereffects of this new law seem to be significant."

Just when he slashed with his sword, he could feel that there seemed to be something different about the body of the four-eyed old man killing the general.

The knife was like cutting through rags or willow catkins, going straight in, and it didn't seem to be difficult at the moment it touched the opponent's body.

It seems to be all show and no substance.

"Could this be the price he has to pay for practicing this new method?"

Ye Yang pondered for a moment, then he opened the Holy Emperor's Military Manual and took a few glances at it. It contained various instructions on astrology, medicine, divination, training soldiers, physical training, breathing and concentration, etc.

It has profound research value.

Even if you don't practice, it records the wisdom of the legendary lord Ren Taxian, which is worth learning.

So Ye Yang took it carefully in his hand.

The North Sea Goddess and others copied another copy and took it away.

The three of them said goodbye. Before leaving, the North Sea Divine Nun still glanced at the Holy King Pill in Ye Yang's hand, her face full of reluctance.

"I hope you don't forget the agreement between us."

Ye Yang nodded.

"Don't worry, Shenni."

After saying this, the two of them slowly left.

After seeing off the North Sea Goddess.

Ye Yang contacted everyone from Feitianmen and carefully found a secluded area.

"This formation is really powerful. Five Jindan realm cultivators are working together to support it, covering an unknown area."

As they walked along, the ground was already covered with corpses. It could be seen that some were from the allied forces of the sects, while others were from the soldiers of the Zhuxian Army.

Everywhere you look there is blood and corpses everywhere, and there is a blood-red evil aura everywhere, which is quite dangerous.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, there are many treasures in the Zhuxian Army. Why don't we take this opportunity to plunder them?"

The Peacock Saint on the side flew in front of Ye Yang and said.

Ye Yang nodded.

This suggestion is not bad. Now that the Grand Marshal of the Heavenly Soldiers is dead, the Jiutian Sect seems to be trying to break the Iron-Blooded Five Evils Formation.

They moved forward, riding on the Big Sun Beast at a very fast speed. They didn't know how many mountains they had crossed along the way.

As time went by, a lot of the bloody evil energy inside had disappeared.

"Ahead is Skull Mountain, which is a rather large barracks of the Zhuxian Army. Previously, the great general who guards the country was stationed here."

Ye Yang nodded and looked up. The lonely mountain in front was still shrouded in the formation, but the trees around it were becoming increasingly sparse.

Even the soil on the ground gradually turned red.

It seemed to be stained with blood.

“Why is the land here so strange?”

someone asked doubtfully.

"This is soil stained red with blood."

Several people explained in a deep voice, secretly alert in their hearts.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew, bringing up a cloud of dust.

Everyone in Feitianmen immediately became alert and looked around.

"Who?" someone shouted.

Then endless blood was spilled, and streaks of red evil spirit, like lightning, were attracted by something strange and quickly filled the entire space.

"Brother, look, what is that?"

Ye Yang looked up and saw that there seemed to be something in the red mist, faintly flashing purple-blue light.

"This thing is actually growing by absorbing the blood and energy from the surrounding area."

Everyone was surprised to see this.

Ye Yang felt it carefully and found that the purple-green aura was quite familiar, especially the purple-green light, which was so sharp that it seemed to penetrate into his pupils.

He couldn't help but think of the purple and green swords of Lord Jiu Tian. Lord Jiu Tian had previously fought a great battle with the Heavenly Soldiers Marshal, and the sword energy of the purple and green swords was flying across the sky and earth.

Perhaps the original energy fell to the ground and something magical was unexpectedly born.

Ye Yang flew up and came in front of the light. He moved his sword pupil slightly, and the things in front of him quickly became extremely clear.

In front of me was a thick gourd vine, as thick as an adult's wrist, emerald green in color and very tender.

At this moment, there was a purple-green gourd hanging on the vine, and its skin was covered with purple-green sword veins and many scars.

"It's really extraordinary. It actually formed a natural sword-raising gourd?"

Ye Yang took a quick look.

This made him think of the eighteenth generation gourd seeds planted by the Feitians. The seeds were nurtured by the Feitianmen's spiritual veins and the earth's energy. Now the vines are all over the Feitianmen's back mountain. Seven gourds of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple have grown, but they have not matured for many years.

The fragment of purple-green sword energy actually fell to the ground and turned into a sword energy gourd.

This means that there may be something underground that is nourishing its growth.

"Dig! There must be something underground."

Following Ye Yang's order, the crowd around him started to stir.

Soon a group of people took quick action.

More than a hundred powerful warrior-level monks worked together, and soon, many large bumpy holes were dug out on the ground.

Someone exclaimed, as if they had discovered something.

The deeper they dug, the richer the blood color became.

When the digging was done to the end, a thin layer had been formed.

It seemed as if something was about to drill out of the ground, and the ground was constantly surging.

It seems like something is about to come out.

"Crack!"

The crack became bigger and bigger, and then a three-foot square stone platform with an ancient style was revealed.

It is pitch black all over and is covered with a layer of rust. If you gently wipe off the rust, countless fine lines like water waves will appear, which looks quite strange.

At this moment, on the stone platform, there was a piece of white and crystal gourd root.

The rhizome is hairy, with forked tendrils and a faint musky scent.

A divine light flickered faintly, and a green vine the size of an adult's little finger had grown on the rhizome.

Ye Yang reached out and gently touched the stone platform, only to feel it was cold, and at the same time a strange force surged into his body.

It was as if all the blood in his body was being sucked out.

He quickly let go of his hand, a look of surprise on his face.

"What a strong suction."

"The energy contained in this purple-green sword energy is too great to be absorbed all at once, so it gave birth to the gourd root and gave birth to the sword energy gourd."

Ye Yang burst into laughter.

"Having this thing makes the trip worthwhile."

He gathered all his strength, grabbed the stone platform with both hands, and lifted it up with force.

But the stone platform seemed to have taken root and did not move at all.

Ye Yang didn't believe it and increased his strength, but the stone platform remained the same.

You know, with his current strength, it is enough to move mountains and carry rocks, but he can't even lift this small stone platform.

"It seems we have to find a way."

Ye Yang frowned and began to think.

His mind moved, and he injected blade energy into one hand and sword energy into the other.

The blade light and sword energy were moved to both hands at the same time, and then he grabbed the stone platform again.

These sword beams and sword energy were absorbed like a drop of mud into the sea, but the power of the stone platform was much lighter.

He exerted force again.

This time, the stone platform made a slight sound and he successfully lifted it up.

"This stone platform and the gourd vine are extraordinary. They can absorb the energy scattered from heaven and earth, and then condense it into the shape of a gourd."

"The sect's eighteenth generation gourd finally has a chance to see the light of day again."

Then the group of people searched around for a while.

Many magical weapons or elixirs left in the Zhuxian Army’s barracks were found.

Soon.

Suddenly, a huge voice came from the sky.

"The Zhuxian army was defeated, and each sect will be rewarded according to their work. Come to me quickly."

The mighty voice of Lord Jiu Tian fell, spreading to an unknown radius, and the blood-colored mist around him completely dissipated.

Ye Yang led everyone from Feitian Gate and hurried towards the place where the sound came from.

After a while, they arrived at a high mountain. The mountain had been flattened in the middle, leaving only a smooth ground.

Ye Yang took a look and found that many sects had arrived.

They arrived too late.

A few more days passed.

Some sects or families are arriving one after another.

It seems that almost everyone is left.

A voice that suppressed the heaven and earth spoke from the clouds.

"This time we killed a total of 180,000 Zhuxian Army soldiers, including eight True Immortals. Almost all the generals and commanders of the imperial dynasty died, and the Heavenly Army Marshal was completely wiped out."

"In addition, we also seized 10 million spiritual stones, 300 magical instruments, 100,000 medicinal pills, and some miscellaneous items."

"We will distribute these things according to the degree of merit. The Nine Heavens Sect has the greatest merit, so it will take 40%. What do you think?"

"I have no opinion."

"I have no objection either."
