Chapter 115: Number 267

  "Boom!"

  The blue fish monster's body was after all made of river water, and after being shaken countless times by the fist shadows, it finally couldn't hold on any longer and burst open with a loud bang.

  The river water splashes everywhere, the blood gas is shocked, and the momentum pours down.

  The entire world has become as terrifying as the end of the world, even Xia Lin can feel the breath of death!

  Accidentally planting willows, the willows become shade. Summer arrives under the unintentional and the blue fish monster's confrontation, unexpectedly causing even greater destruction. This momentum is more terrifying than a simple blue fish monster's impact. Once directly impacted, one wouldn't even know how they died.

  The blue fish monster that was originally in the distance also let out a terrified cry and hastily dived towards the bottom of the river, disappearing instantly without a trace.

  Xia's face changed greatly as he retreated several steps back, soon arriving at the entrance of the cave.

  The only thing she could do was hold up her white clothes in front of herself.

  "Hmm——"

  A silent wave pattern of red and blue spread out, instantly sweeping across the entire icy world, even the entrance was affected by the strong impact. I don't know if this white robe is effective, but there are still many attacks that penetrate through the robe, rushing onto Xia Lin's body.

  "Pffft!"

  Xia Lin clenched his teeth, enduring the shockwave, grasping his clothes tightly and refusing to let go, his mouth shut tight until a thread of blood seeped out from the corner of his lips.

  After a long time, it was calm outside and there was no more movement.

  Xia Lin finally let go of the white clothes in his hand, spitting out a mouthful of blood and vomiting all the blood that had been blocked earlier onto the ground.

  At the entrance of the cave, Xia Lin looked forward and suddenly inhaled a mouthful of cold air.

  What an icy world, what ice and snowflakes and so on, completely gone!

  All that appeared before Xia Lin's eyes was the river water, the ceaseless torrent of the Yellow Spring River, and the endless ice field, which was utterly destroyed and completely disappeared.

  All sounds ceased, Xia Lin's mouth twitched slightly as he looked at the white clothes in his hand. Apparently, more than half of the previous attack had been blocked by it.

  "Is this the power of the third stage?"

  Xia Lin was somewhat shocked, earlier when that blue fish monster made of river water appeared, he was already quite frightened. When the blood and the fish monster collided, producing that terrifying attack, it seemed even more frightening, far surpassing the original blue fish monster.

  "If the blue fish monster is considered early third-order... then, that blow just now was at least late third-order, or even third-order peak! Then... what kind of river would it be?"

  Summer flashed a strange color in his eyes, and the scene just now did not dispel his confidence, but instead made him even more spirited!

  "Rivers and streams, I will catch up with you sooner or later!"

  It was at this time that Xia Lin carefully looked at the clothes in his hand.

  Soft and comfortable to the touch, extremely smooth in hand. That terrifying attack just now didn't even cause it any harm. It seems that at the very least, it's a three-star defensive mystic treasure!

  "Three Treasures of the Mysterious Treasure." Xia Lin was slightly surprised.

  He had been looking for Xuan Bao for two reasons all along.

  One reason is that when his strength was low, it was actually the time to temper his foundation. If he relied on the Mystic Treasure to win every time, it would not have been beneficial for him at all. Due to the Breaking Heaven Technique, his growth speed was very fast; if he didn't seize every opportunity to train and gain experience, he might fall behind others by a large margin.

  Another reason is that the low-level Xuanbao is not very useful, and it's just a mediocre existence. In the Qi Xuan realm and Ning Hai realm, what can Xuanbao do to make him defeat the Guiyuan realm? Impossible! So Xia Lin was very straightforward and didn't consider Xuanbao at all.

  But undoubtedly, high-quality Xuanbao still has a terrifying amplification effect.

  Especially at the level of returning to the origin!

  The largest demand is for Xuan Bao! Third-grade Xuan Bao.

  Entering Guiyuan is still a chance, as long as you grasp it well, entering Guiyuan will not be a problem. However, the Divine Path realm requires strong strength and luck.

  It's highly likely that among the countless cities' number one experts, only one of them can enter the Divine Realm!

  That is truly one in ten thousand.

  So, many strong returnees began to work hard to increase their strength, martial skills and mysterious treasures became scarce. They would go crazy for the appearance of secret realms, and they would also take on tasks for money, all just to constantly improve their strength, so that when they had the opportunity to break through the divine realm in the future, they could seize that one chance.

  So every three-product Xuanbao will trigger a scramble for the return of Yuanjing.

  As for these things, Xia Lin naturally did not know, nor did he need to know.

  He held the clothes and looked at them for half a day, even rubbing them on the ground twice. If other powerful beings in the Return to Origin Realm saw Xia Lin treating a third-grade Xuanbao like this, they might directly strangle him to death.

  "Not bad." Xia Lin was very satisfied with the result he wanted.

  Firstly, defense is strong enough!

  It can reduce the attack power of an enemy in its original state by at least half!

  Combined with his own third-stage fifth-level defense, ordinary people can't hurt him at all!

  Secondly, it's clean... no matter how dirty it gets, as long as the blood energy is activated, it will automatically clean itself up spotlessly, truly worthy of being a third-grade Xuan treasure.

  Looking at his clothes which had become thoroughly tattered and worn out, Xia Lin felt a bit ashamed.

  He quickly took it off and then put on this white garment.

  The whole person suddenly felt refreshed and clear-headed, with a few points of clarity in his mind. His originally moderate figure, now wearing this white dress, suddenly gained momentum, and with a wave of his hand, he seemed to be carefree and dignified.

  After studying the clothes thoroughly, Xia Lin sat cross-legged on the ground, calculating her own strength, and suddenly furrowed her brow slightly.

  In terms of defense, there's no need to worry at all, Xia Lin is confident that he can crush anyone!

  Attacking... Now, among the four forms of fierce tiger, Blazing Tiger Fist and Fierce Tiger Descends the Mountain have been practiced to a very familiar level. Tiger's Majesty Reappears has also reached the initial stage of practice, I believe it will soon be mastered. The first three forms are no longer a problem, only the fourth form, Tiger's Roar in the Forest, is now just a glimpse of the doorway, and there is only a hint of understanding, not necessarily able to use it every time.

  Fortunately, these few moves are all third-rate martial skills, and using them won't humiliate him. Each time the power is quite decent, and I believe that as his comprehension deepens, the power will also greatly increase.

  Apart from this, it's just footwork... Every time he brings it up, it makes Xia Lin somewhat worried.

  Two consecutive narrow escapes made Xia Lin feel that he must master a footwork martial skill as soon as possible. Looking at Ruo Lian, every time was an easy kill, flashing and retreating, one strike not hitting, fleeing thousands of miles away.

  And what about him? Every time he would chase after me like a wolf, but now he doesn't dare to, thinking about it is really quite embarrassing.

  Xialin silently pondered, with the idea of collecting step methods and martial skills firmly etched in his mind.

  Xia Lin had already developed a habit of thinking, and acting impulsively was something only fools would do. Regardless of his strength or weakness, he always thought things through before taking action.

  The road to the Yellow Spring is not very long!

  After passing through, it's a fierce battle in the secret realm. Every increase in strength will greatly enhance his power. Moreover, he is not the only one whose strength has increased in the Yellow Spring Secret Realm.

  The secret realm has always been this way.

  It can greatly enhance a warrior's strength in a short period of time, but too many people have strengthened themselves only to die inside the secret realm without even having a chance to show off, never to be seen again.

  Every time a secret realm appears, it is accompanied by tens of thousands of corpses.

  Whether it's an ancient ruin, a treasure trove, or a blessed land, they're all the same. The only difference is probably the varying strength of the deceased.

  Walking along the iron chain bridge and this icy world, Xia Lin secretly estimated the distance, about right, should have arrived at the central area.

  According to the depression that sank at first, if it is a circle, then there is a diameter!

  Since this time, the numerous green gates in the Yellow Spring Secret Realm also provided countless channels and countless Yellow Spring roads. Therefore, there is only one possibility - everyone from the edge of the secret realm is gathering towards the center.

  Undoubtedly, the center of convergence is precisely where the circular dot of the Secret Realm is located.

  Taking the Yellow Spring Secret Realm as the center of a circle, with a point in the middle, and then connecting the distance from the point to the edge, this is the distance he should walk, the radius of the circle. With the distance he saw at first, the entire diameter of Yin Yang Mountain, the Chain Bridge, and the Ice Snow World added together, it's almost time for him to reach the circular point.

  Innumerable paths of the Yellow Springs converge towards the center, which are also innumerable radii.

  The first pass is the iron chain bridge, the second pass is the ice and snow world, the third pass... should be the final battle, Xia Linru thought.

  And without a doubt, in the end he will have to face one person, Jiang He!

  With his current defensive power, he shouldn't be afraid of the rivers, but with his attacking power, he can't cause any harm to the rivers, let alone protect all the disciples of Hei Feng Zhai.

  The most important thing is to improve your strength as soon as possible, and these mysterious treasures obtained in the world of ice and snow are the best opportunities!

  Thinking of this, Xia Lin took out all the gains from just now, more than 50 pieces of Xuanbao fragments, from a corner iron piece on the shield to a section of the waistband, all kinds of Xuanbao fragments were available. There were even six weapon fragments, including sword tips, each of which was suffocating with spiritual energy.

  "These things, if sold outside, would probably be worth a lot of money." Xia Lin glanced at them and then picked up a piece of the mysterious treasure, its bloody aura spreading as he directly swallowed it.

  "The spiritual energy in these mysterious treasures is much stronger than those spiritual herbs, I hope it can help me make further progress." Xia Lin muttered to himself, his eyes closed, immersed in cultivation.

  This time his goal is to temper the fifth and sixth layers of his body. As long as he completes these two layers, his strength will be enhanced once again.

  Tempering Body Fifth Layer, Left Arm Skeleton, Metamorphosis Begins!

  ……

  Compared to Xia Lin's madness, many people wisely gave up on obtaining the Three-Treasures Mysterious Treasure. Of course, there were also some greedy warriors who were dragged into the river by the fish monster and never appeared again.

  Lu'er and Yuelian only got things within their own ability range, and they didn't even touch the third-grade Xuanbao. Those who can survive until now are not fools, and must have gone through repeated tests to reach this point. No one will die for something that is destined to be unattainable.

  Of course, there are no fools, and the world is full of wonders. This Yellow Spring Secret Realm is no exception, and there will always be some unconventional people running amok.

  Snowflakes are falling, a vast icy world, looking like a blanket of white snow.

  A young man was walking leisurely, the poor vital energy circulating inside his body to keep himself from freezing, and he began to stroll recklessly on this icy tundra.

  "Wow, Defensive Xuan Treasure Fragment."

  "Wow, Fragment of the Mystic Arms."

  "Oh, unexpectedly there's a sword, and it's even a third-grade Xuanbao, tsk tsk tsk tsk."

  Obviously, no need to say more, this is Dongfang Xuan.

  To him, these things had no attraction at all. Every time he would watch and then express his admiration and amazement before turning around and leaving.

  Gallantly passed over the icy plains, without receiving any harm... Of course, there were no gains either.

  "Wow! A fourth-grade defensive Xuanbao!" Dongfang Xuan's eyes shone brightly, a fourth-grade! How could there be a fourth-grade Xuanbao? That's something that only exists in books. It's too incredible. How is it possible for it to be here?!

  After carefully examining the ice surface for half a day, Dongfang Xuan nodded and sighed, "Really, it's really true! It's too unbelievable, tsk, being able to see this once in a lifetime is enough to die without regret."

  Dongfang Xuan turned around and left again after being moved for half a day.

  "Huh?"

  As he approached the entrance, Dongfang Xuan was slightly stunned. Even the four-product defensive mysterious treasure didn't make him so astonished. Walking to the right side of the entrance, Dongfang Xuan carefully looked down and found that on this piece of mountain rock, there were some subtle protrusions.

  "Organized hidden weapons?"

  Dongfang Xuan looked curiously and said, "No, no... it should be the font."

  Dongfang Xuan's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he gently stroked the protrusions, silently reading out what was recorded on them, "Two six seven."

  "What does 267 mean?"

  Dongfang Xuan furrowed his brow, rapidly flipping through the classics he had studied in his mind to see if there was any information about 26 or 7, but unfortunately, he found nothing.

  "Since it's not a record in any classic book, but it appears at this time, it must have some representativeness." Dongfang Xuan furrowed his brow and thought, "And he just happens to appear here, on the Yellow Spring Road. Just like the records of the Yellow Spring Secret Realm before, each person corresponds to one Yellow Spring Road, and each Yellow Spring Road is different. In that case, this number represents..."

  "Number!"

  "Yes, the numbering of the Yellow Spring Road. Each Yellow Spring Road should have something like this to represent its uniqueness. However... if it's a sect or family, numbering can be understood. What's the point of numbering in the Yellow Spring Secret Realm? There are no people here, and there is no need to identify these numbers."

  Dongfang Xuan was puzzled, "Could it be that the great power who created the Huangquan Secret Realm back then had something to do with this? The Huangquan Secret Realm, as part of Biliu Huangquan, can naturally be understood, but..."

  Dongfang Xuan touched the protrusions again, carefully feeling the marks on top. "Although it's been some years, it's absolutely not a product of the ancient era."

  "What's going on after all?" Dongfang Xuan fell into deep thought.
