Chapter 73 Dragon Balls Appear
Within the Fallen Dragon Valley, there is no distinction between day and night. Li Ya works tirelessly day and night in the chaotic rock forest, using sword pellets to peel away the roots of the mountains.
The mountain roots in the chaotic rock forest are of excellent quality, perhaps because the blood and flesh of the dragon have been completely integrated into the earth veins of the Fallen Dragon Valley, and there are faint blood-red patterns in the mountain roots.
Beneath the cliff, Li Ya sat cross-legged, while the Ancient Wood Spirit Child stood guard outside.
The Heavenly Capital Sword Pill floated quietly in his palm, its sword energy fluctuating uncertainly.
Compared to a day ago, the sword pellet's sword energy was even more formidable.
"It is said that in ancient times, sword cultivators would seek out spiritual rocks to make 'whetstones'. I am now using a chisel to strike a hard stone to hone my sword energy, which is probably the same principle."
Li Ya clenched his fist, and the Chen Su Tian Du Sword Pellet instantly entered his body, his mind focused on the Ling Shu Cave Heaven.
Now that the Fangcun Snail has stopped consuming new Sumeru Stones, the expansion of the cave has ceased.
As the number of high-quality mountain roots increases, the thickness of the Ling Shu Cave Heaven is slowly increasing, and even the six mountain roots are growing taller.
Li Ya clearly sensed that beneath the surface of the Ling Shu Cave Heaven, a rich and mellow energy was slowly emanating from the mountain's root marrow, gathering and taking shape.
Following the nodes of the earth's veins, it silently travels to various places, dense and heavy, carrying the essence of the mountains, gradually transforming the cave's earth veins.
On the ground, around the central mountain peak, rows of spirit fields were cultivated, and the innermost ring of spirit fields was already filled with the spirit herbs obtained earlier.
Based on his memories from his previous life, Li Ya planned out a series of spiritual channels, through which spiritual springs flowed and wisps of spiritual mist rose, nourishing numerous spiritual fields.
These spiritual herbs have roots that have taken hold in the humus-rich spiritual soil, their flowers and leaves unfurling, teeming with life, and their verdant spiritual light spreading throughout the entire spiritual garden.
After passing through the spiritual fields, the spiritual spring flows into the surrounding water system and eventually converges into a lake.
The aquatic creatures captured in the black pool and caves live leisurely in the lake.
The aquatic creatures have adapted to the light inside the cave and occasionally surface.
Looking at the vibrant scene, Li Ya felt a sense of satisfaction.
Meanwhile, hundreds of miles away in the heart of Fallen Dragon Valley, a murderous aura was already boiling over.
This area is a vast sinkhole, said to have been created by a dragon.
This place is also the richest in natural treasures in the entire Fallen Dragon Valley. Dragon blood permeates the rocks and soil, giving rise to a large number of natural treasures.
It also nurtured many fierce spirit beasts.
When a dragon transforms into a dragon after traversing a river, a dragon pearl will transform into a dragon pearl when it completes its mission. However, if a dragon completes its mission only halfway, it will be killed.
Ultimately, it failed at the last hurdle, falling short of perfection and becoming a half-baked, incomplete dragon pearl.
After hundreds of years, its spiritual essence dissipated, turning into seven fragments of the Dragon Ball.
Even though the spiritual essence has been lost, each of these fragments still contains the pure essence of the dragon, with endless uses.
If an ordinary Qi Refining cultivator obtains one, they can cleanse their five internal organs, replace their innate talent and aptitude, forge a solid foundation, and withstand the celestial calamities during a breakthrough. Not to mention the Purple Mansion, there will be no more obstacles on the path to Foundation Establishment.
Such a heaven-defying fortune is enough to stir the minds of all cultivators entering the valley, driving even the most arrogant and talented cultivators of their sects to madness and fight for it at the cost of their lives.
Tai Xuan Dao, Bi Shui Tian Gong, and San Yi Dao Men immediately guarded this place upon entering the Fallen Dragon Valley, waiting for the Dragon Pearl fragments to be born.
As for that wisp of dragon soul, it must be the most precious item in the Fallen Dragon Valley, but everyone tacitly refrained from making a move.
This was because Bai Yujing had already secretly instructed that this wisp of dragon soul already belonged to the descendant of the sword cultivator who had once slain the dragon.
At this moment, the cultivators from the three factions each occupied a corner, surrounding a bottomless pit, the air heavy and oppressive.
Although these talented disciples were limited by the Fallen Dragon Valley and their cultivation levels were all below the sixth level, each of them carried a treasured magic weapon and talisman.
These were all painstakingly crafted by our elders, all for this day.
The seven Dragon Ball fragments represent seven destined Foundation Establishment cultivators; how could they not fight with all their might for them?
The bottomless abyss began to vibrate rhythmically, and then a beam of light shot out from it, piercing through the mist and soaring into the sky.
As the light faded, seven clusters of spiritual light appeared in the air.
All eyes were fixed on the seven Dragon Ball fragments swirling in mid-air, and the tense atmosphere reached its peak, like a string that could snap at any moment.
The seven Dragon Ball fragments slowly floated and sank, their pure and gentle spiritual energy spreading outwards, and their shimmering white and golden light illuminating the faces of every cultivator.
The mere arrival of this spiritual light caused all sorts of miraculous phenomena. Every cultivator present around the cave entrance felt their bodies lighten, and the flow of true energy within their bodies accelerated.
"Fellow Daoists, there are seven Dragon Ball Origins in total. Our three sects will each obtain two, and the remaining one will be contested fairly. Is that acceptable?"
The white-robed cultivators, led by the Azure Heaven Palace, broke the silence first. Dressed in snow-white robes, they possessed an elegant and refined demeanor, appearing gentle and polite, yet their eyes held a deep and unfathomable gaze.
"How so? I don't think so!"
"That's ridiculous!"
Although the Sanyi Daoist sect is named after Taoism, it is inclusive and tolerant, and has always acted domineeringly.
The leading cultivator, dressed in a black robe with gold lettering, immediately let out a cold laugh.
"Rare and precious materials belong to those with strong cultivation!"
"There's no such thing as sharing equally. Besides, what right does your Azure Water Heavenly Palace have to share equally with me, Zuo Qingyun? I will accept what my fellow Daoist from the Tai Xuan Sect says. And who do you think you are!"
"Let the female cultivator behind you speak!"
At this moment, the white-robed cultivator turned to look at the female cultivator behind him, bowed, and retreated.
The woman in blue had her eyebrows furrowed, her voice was clear and cold, and she was surrounded by a misty aura.
"Zuo Qingyun, we've only been through one battle. My Biyue Heavenly Palace is not afraid of you, you fake Taoist priest."
On the Tai Xuan Dao side, Ning Xuanqi, the leader, calmed his junior brothers behind him without saying a word, but he did not agree with Zuo Qingyun's statement. Such a treasure should naturally be kept by oneself.
The three parties were unwilling to yield to each other, and the hidden killing intent was rising layer by layer. No one was willing to back down even half a step, and no one was willing to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"Then let's give it a try!"
The next instant, the cultivator from the Azure Water Heavenly Palace activated his secret technique and crushed the talisman. A fierce and domineering spell tore through the mist and rushed straight towards them!
Countless high-level talismans exploded in succession, their power overlapping and their spiritual light bursting forth. The entire heartland was instantly engulfed in a chaotic interplay of water and fire, with wind and clouds swirling wildly, and shattered rocks and vegetation reduced to dust.
Although it was just a group of cultivators below the sixth level of Qi Refining fighting, the danger they faced was terrifying due to the precious treasures inherited from their sects.
The seven Dragon Ball fragments scattered wildly amidst the raging spiritual energy.
At this moment, no one noticed a shadow leap out of the cave entrance and disappear into the body of the Azure Water Heavenly Palace cultivator.
His eyes instantly filled with bloodshot veins, and his expression became ferocious and twisted.
He took out a dark-patterned gold talisman and leaped into the cave.
"Junior brother, come back!"
The blue-clad female cultivator was immediately horrified. This was the only grandson of the sect's supreme elder. If anything went wrong, everyone would be implicated.
She instantly recognized the golden talisman; it was the talisman that sealed one of the Supreme Elder's great supernatural powers.
Before anyone could stop it, they felt an invisible force spreading outwards, and all the cultivators present lost their hearing for a moment.
In an instant, the spiritual energy in the heart of the Fallen Dragon Valley froze, and an unparalleled flame of destruction exploded from the talisman.
The talisman transformed into a pillar of fire, interwoven with jet black and crimson gold, piercing straight into the bottomless abyss.
"Boom!"
The earth shook violently, as if a dragon were turning over.
The entire heart of Fallen Dragon Valley was engulfed in violent tremors.
The cracks in the rock strata spread wildly, and deep underground, thousands of miles from where the dragon fell, there was a fiery eye in the earth's veins.
The fire hidden deep within the earth's core was completely ignited, and raging flames erupted, breaking through the earth's strata.
The sinkhole in the heart of the city suddenly collapsed, and countless crisscrossing, bottomless cracks spread instantly. Beneath the cracks, crimson and golden light surged to the sky, and rolling fire transformed into towering waves of fire that shot into the heavens and pierced through the mist.
Flames surged and the sky was ablaze with gold and red. The cultivators who were locked in combat were instantly filled with fear and chills.
"retreat!"
