Chapter 111: Warcraft Heritage
Lin Yuan had dealt with magical beasts many times, and quite a number of them had been defeated by him.
Zi Yan's words reminded Lin Yuan of something he had overlooked, that is, he seldom seized skills and fighting techniques from the monsters, while those monsters that fought with him seemed to be born with some skills, fighting techniques and secret techniques.
As a person who created and improved many fighting skills and secret arts, Lin Yuan was sure that some of the moves of some monsters could not be used by instinct alone, and the corresponding knowledge must have been passed down in some way. He had some guesses about this.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Yuan continued to ask Zi Yan: "Apart from the exercises, is there anything else?"
Zi Yan chewed the pill in her mouth, thought for a while, and said: "Well, there are also some new ways to use the power in my head. Oh, my intuition tells me that if I become stronger, I will know some new things."
"So that's how it is. This world is really magical." A hint of understanding flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes, and he couldn't help but admire it in his heart. "The human race has its own way of inheritance, and the Warcraft also has its own way of inheritance. The human race's inheritance is broad, and the Warcraft inheritance also has its own foundation."
"The inheritance of the human race relies on various organizational forms such as families, sects, and masters and apprentices, supplemented by tools such as books, scrolls, and jade slips to pass on knowledge from generation to generation."
"Warcraft uses bloodline as the basis for knowledge inheritance. They integrate the most core knowledge into their bloodline. As individual strength increases and bloodline improves, the corresponding level of knowledge contained in the bloodline will continue to be 'unlocked' and gradually revealed."
"This kind of skills and secret techniques inherited in the bloodline may only contain the most core parts, but it is enough to lay a solid foundation for the magic beasts that have obtained the bloodline inheritance. This is also one of the reasons why magic beasts are often more powerful than humans at the same level - once they advance, they can obtain skills and innate secret techniques that perfectly match their bloodline."
Lin Yuan gently rubbed his temples and fell into deeper thought: "In addition to the influence of strength, what other factors are at work in the process of Warcraft knowledge inheritance?"
As his thoughts drifted, the image of Queen Medusa emerged in his mind. In the original world line, Queen Medusa had undergone earth-shaking changes after evolving into the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python. Before evolving, she was just a Dou Huang with decent strength in the northwest region, but after evolving into the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python, she not only began to make rapid progress in her cultivation, but also showed wonderful changes in other aspects.
For example, she had not obtained any advanced techniques or fighting skills from the outside world, but her strength was enough to compete with those Dou Zongs, Dou Zuns, and Dou Shengs who came from powerful forces and had practiced advanced techniques and fighting skills.
In addition, after Queen Medusa evolved, she also learned some knowledge about the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python tribe that even Yao Lao, a well-informed person, did not know. For example, information about the Nine-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python and the Nine-Colored Raw Stone. Lin Yuan himself did not find these related classics during his time in the Snake People Tribe.
It seemed that after evolving into the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python, as her strength increased, her foundation in martial arts, fighting skills, secret techniques and knowledge was greatly supplemented.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he suddenly realized: "Is it the strength of the bloodline? Yes, the reason why Warcraft respects bloodline is that strong bloodlines not only make individuals of the same level stronger, but also enable them to carry and pass on more knowledge."
"Is this inheritance system a distributed system?" After figuring it out, Lin Yuan's eyes were filled with wonder. "The blood of every individual contains the core inheritance of a tribe. As long as one individual survives and grows up, the tribe can continue."
"The inheritance of the human race is more centralized, concentrating resources on the core. If the core of a force is destroyed, the inheritance will quickly disappear, and the force will decline or even perish. However, under this model, resources are more easily concentrated, so although the human race's power lasts for a relatively short time, it is easier to cultivate top-level strongmen."
"The powerful monster tribes also know how to learn from certain structural models of the human race and make up for their shortcomings. These are the major monster families in the Beast Domain."
After figuring out everything, Lin Yuan couldn't help but feel in a good mood. Although these insights could not directly help him improve his strength, the exploration and understanding of the unknown world still filled his heart with joy. For him, this kind of understanding and discovery deepened and broadened his understanding of his own path of cultivation.
At this moment, Lin Yuan couldn't help but think of the battle agreement with Queen Medusa, and the battle was not far away.
"I see, that makes sense." Lin Yuan thought to himself, "Queen Medusa knew that I had defeated Yunshan before, but she was still confident in our battle. It seems that she has indeed gained a lot from the blood inheritance of the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python."
"Moreover, due to my intervention, she and Xiao Cai were separated from each other from the beginning to the end, without the trouble of soul conflict. Under this circumstance, she was able to quickly digest the inheritance she received. I'm afraid that the next time we meet, her strength will have changed dramatically."
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan took a deep breath, his eyes revealed a firm fighting spirit and expectation, and his heart also felt a little more urgency.
"It seems that I have to improve my strength as soon as possible."
Lin Yuan glanced at Zi Yan who was standing beside him. The girl was still eating the pills with gusto, as if she was trying to make up for the food she had missed during her half-year retreat.
Afterwards, Lin Yuan summoned several of his clones, ready to recover the results of this period.
First, Lin Yuan retrieved the clone that was researching the combination of the Mountain and River Seal and the Sun Seal. After retrieving it, he smiled with satisfaction, "Good progress, not far from success."
Afterwards, Lin Yuan recovered the clone inherited by the alchemist. After recovering it, he thought, "Not bad, in the empty and clear state, the computing power can be increased a little more."
Afterwards, Lin Yuan retrieved his cooking clone. After retrieval, he glanced at Zi Yan and said, "We have made great progress here. This girl is in for a treat."
Finally, Lin Yuan looked at the last clone, with a hint of solemnity and anticipation in his eyes.
This is a very special clone. Compared with other clones, it has some special energy - spiritual energy. That's right, after being separated by Lin Yuan, this clone only does one thing, which is to operate the "Heavenly Heart Soul Art" to collect spiritual energy.
Lin Yuan's original body also used the "Heavenly Heart Soul Art". With the help of the Soul Art, he successfully felt the spiritual energy that his clone had spent the past few days trying to separate and collect from the rich energy of heaven and earth. It was a ball of spiritual energy the size of several fists.
Lin Yuan carefully transferred this ball of spiritual energy to the center of his brows, and used the method of "Heavenly Heart Soul Art" to refine and absorb it. Suddenly, a subtle sense of coolness came from his mind, and Lin Yuan's eyes became more lively. His soul power also increased slightly, and he was a little closer to the late seventh level.
After absorbing the spiritual energy, Lin Yuan's eyes flashed with excitement. "The shadow clone that contains the soul clone can operate the Heavenly Heart Soul Art, so I can make progress in cultivating fighting spirit and cultivating the soul at the same time. The main body cultivates fighting spirit, and the clone gathers spiritual energy and cultivates the soul."
But then, he thought of something, and his heart sank slightly: "It's a pity that the Heavenly Heart Soul Art is incomplete after all. The clone's operation is not as efficient as the main body's. At present, it seems that the improvement of soul power is a slow process. Perhaps, I need to study how to complete and perfect the Heavenly Heart Soul Art in the future."
"Never mind, it's a good thing after all. Zi Yan has come out of retreat, and I have also cultivated Three Thousand Thunders to perfection. It's time to go out."
Lin Yuan looked at Zi Yan and chuckled, "Zi Yan, since you have advanced, let's go out. Let's go and tell the Great Elder first, and then we'll go back. I'll make you a delicious meal today."
"Delicious!" Zi Yan's eyes lit up when she heard that. Then she rolled her eyes and said cunningly, "This cannot be counted as part of the ten medicinal meals you promised me." "Huh? You little girl." Lin Yuan pinched Zi Yan's delicate face and said with a smile, "But I'm in a good mood today, so I'll do as you say."
"Great! What are we waiting for? Let's go, Brother Lin Yuan." As she said that, she took Lin Yuan's hand and flew out.
Izumo Empire.
According to Lin Yuan's notes, Xiao Yixian prepared all the necessary things to subdue the strange fire. Then, she led several strong men from the Poison Sect to fly towards the Poison Ancient Lake. This time, she was fully prepared and determined to subdue the Netherworld Poison Fire.
After several days of searching and exploring, the Poison Sect members arrived at a highly poisonous swamp surrounded by powerful poisonous miasma.
Little Medical Fairy stood at the edge of the swamp, looking at the purple-black poisonous miasma that covered the sky and the sun in front of her, and an inexplicable throbbing arose in her heart. Her poisonous body sensed the presence of a very poisonous thing in front of her.
"It can cause such a strong reaction from the Evil Poison Body. It seems that the Netherworld Poison Fire is undoubtedly ahead." The Little Medical Fairy narrowed her eyes slightly and thought to herself, "To subdue the Netherworld Poison Fire, I may need the Evil Poison Body, but the matter of the Evil Poison Body must not be known to others. Therefore, I have to go alone."
"Next, I will go deeper alone. You must guard the periphery and don't let anyone get close. Make sure no one disturbs me." Xiao Yixiang ordered, her voice cold and firm.
"Yes, Sect Master! Please be careful, we will closely guard the periphery." Everyone bowed in response. There was some worry in their eyes when they looked at Xiao Yixian, but more of it was enthusiasm and awe for her.
The Little Medical Fairy ignored everyone's emotions, took a deep breath, and walked with strange steps into the poisonous swamp as if she was walking on flat ground.
Soon, her figure disappeared from everyone's sight.
Little Medical Fairy walked forward step by step. Every time she walked forward, the poisonous miasma around her became stronger. Soon, the place where she was was filled with terrible poisonous gas that even Douling masters could hardly resist.
However, this deadly poisonous miasma seemed to have no effect on her. On the contrary, her aura became stronger as it blended with the poisonous miasma, as if she had become a part of it, and the poisonous gas around her was submitting to her.
The little medical fairy glanced around with her gray-purple eyes, and a thoughtful look flashed in her eyes.
"For me, this place is an excellent place for cultivation. In the future, this place can be designated as the territory of the Poison Sect."
Dispelling all distracting thoughts from her mind, Xiao Yixian continued to move forward along the guidance of the throbbing force. Her poisonous body could vaguely sense the location of another extremely poisonous substance in the poisonous miasma.
Soon, she arrived at the center of the poisonous swamp, but the scene before her startled her: in the center of the poisonous swamp, there was a dormant volcano.
At this moment, she recalled the information Lin Yuan had given her about the Netherworld Poison Fire. "The Netherworld Poison Fire is the fire in the Poison Swamp that has been infected by the poisonous miasma covering the sky for tens of millions of years, and has consumed the endless poisonous miasma to form a fire. So that's how it is. Is this the volcano that gave birth to the original fire?"
Suddenly, she seemed to sense something and looked towards the southwest. She saw a gloomy green light flashing in the southwest, dispersing the surrounding poisonous miasma, like a will-o'-the-wisp passing through the poisonous miasma.
"Netherworld Poison Fire, I finally found you." Looking at the green ball that looked like a ghost fire, Xiao Yixian showed a cold smile on her face. She knew that she was only one step away from the Netherworld Poison Fire.
Looking at the Netherworld Poison Fire that was constantly and deftly changing its position in the air, she could feel the energy and toxins that had accumulated in the flames for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.
"This fire is already spiritual, so we shouldn't confront it head on." After thinking about it, the Little Medical Immortal soon came up with a plan in her mind, "If I don't want to take it by force, then I'll lure it. The poisonous blood of the Evil Poison Body is the top-level poison. For the spiritual Netherworld Poison Fire, it is undoubtedly a top-notch delicacy."
The little doctor fairy looked stern, took a deep breath, and forced a drop of red poisonous blood out of her body. This drop of poisonous blood with huge energy fell into her palm. It was the poisonous blood of disaster in her body.
Then, Xiao Yixian's mind moved, and the ball of poisonous blood began to roll in her palm, with powerful energy fluctuations emanating from it. Under the fluctuations of this energy, the surrounding poisonous miasma actually began to automatically gather towards the poisonous blood in her palm.
Soon, the poisonous blood in the palm of Xiao Yixian's hand formed a thick blood-colored miasma - the poisonous miasma of disaster. Then, Xiao Yixian released the blood-colored poisonous miasma.
The Netherworld Poisonous Fire not far away seemed to feel the attraction of this poisonous miasma and began to approach the Little Medical Fairy.
Under the lure of the bloody poisonous miasma, the netherworld poisonous fire slowly revealed its true form - a thumb-sized, butterfly-shaped ball of origin fire. This ball of fire danced in the bloody poisonous miasma like an elegant elf, but the toxicity and high temperature it released were enough to scare any creature.
It began to consume this supreme delicacy in the blood-colored poisonous miasma, and while eating, it moved closer to the Little Medical Fairy who was emitting an even thicker blood-colored poisonous miasma.
Little Medical Fairy stared at the original fire intently, her heartbeat accelerated, but her eyes were as firm as a rock. She knew that this was the critical moment to subdue the netherworld poisonous fire, and there could be no hesitation or retreat.
At the moment when the origin fire approached her, Xiao Yixian made a quick move. Her palm flashed through the air like lightning and accurately caught the "butterfly". The flames beat in her palm, emitting strong heat and terrible poisonous gas. But Xiao Yixian, who had made up her mind, seemed to feel no pain and calmly took the next step.
Then, Xiao Yixian took out the secret medicine that had been prepared to protect her meridians and swallowed it without hesitation. The medicine quickly dissolved in her body, a cool breath flowed through her meridians, and a blood-colored barrier was formed in her meridians.
Then, Xiao Yixian took a deep breath and slowly put the origin fire in her hand into her mouth. She closed her eyes, felt the burning sensation of the flame jumping in her mouth, and then slowly swallowed it. After swallowing the fire, violent energy and poisonous gas ran rampant in her body.
The Little Medical Fairy sat cross-legged and used the top-grade secret method of swallowing fire that the Poison Sect had collected. Soon, her body seemed to have turned into a huge furnace, and began to operate at full power, swallowing and refining the original fire of the Netherworld Poison Fire.
Gray-purple air currents began to emerge from Xiao Yixian's body, and these air currents quickly shuttled through her meridians, engaging in a fierce battle with the Netherworld Poison Fire. At the same time, she completely liberated her own evil poison body and began to devour the poison gas released by the poison fire. As time passed, the violence and hostility of the Netherworld Poison Fire were gradually worn away, and its toxins were gradually absorbed and refined by Xiao Yixian's evil poison body.
A long and painful process of refining the strange fire began.
This chapter describes my understanding of the original Warcraft heritage and the combat power of Queen Medusa. It is also my own interpretation of the original worldview.
