第两千一百七十三章 五龙戏珠

The actions of the two元婴 became even more rapid. Their fingers flicked rapidly, and various magical seals shot out from within, each entering a different-colored water column. Dragon-like roars echoed as four more dragons emerged. They circled and danced in the air, along with the black dragon that had just appeared. Together, they fiercely attacked the妖丹 above.

Five Dragons Playing with a Pearl!

Wu! At that moment, the妖丹 seemed to sense danger too. Its surface emitted a burst of spiritual light, and more talisman inscriptions emerged, forming an intricate and colorful protective barrier before it.

Of course, this wasn't Lin Xuan's doing; it was the instinctive self-protection response triggered by the threat. Lin Xuan couldn't help but feel amused and satisfied. The five dragons seized their opportunity and simultaneously dived into the妖丹.

Both processes were under Lin Xuan's control, making his timing impeccable.

As the five dragons approached the妖dan, an unbelievable scene unfolded. The spiritual light of the five dragons intensified as they shrank to a hundred times smaller or more. A "whoosh" sound filled the air as they all vanished into the妖丹. No trace remained on the surface, but a dragon-headed mark appeared, indicating that the妖丹 had somehow shrunk in size.

The oppressive aura diminished significantly, and the amount of spiritual energy it could mobilize was now equivalent to an intermediate-stage洞玄中期元婴. The sealing process went smoothly, allowing Lin Xuan to focus his main元婴 without worrying about any hidden dangers during combat or cultivation.

After exiting Inner Vision, he slowly opened his eyes, showing a satisfied expression. Despite having sealed part of the妖丹's spiritual energy, his strength had actually increased slightly. Before crossing the Yuan Qi Tribulation, his main元婴 was at an intermediate-stage洞玄中期, while the second元婴 and the妖丹 were both somewhat inferior—just in their initial stages.

Now, both his main元婴 and the妖dan were at the intermediate stage, with only the second元婴 remaining at its initial stage. This increase in strength wasn't a sudden leap, but it was still significant.

Moreover, the effect of the I Ching Washing Essence had further enhanced Lin Xuan's physical body. However, amidst his joy, he also felt puzzled and rubbed his forehead as he pondered deeply. After some time, Lin Xuan returned his consciousness to his dantian.

This time, instead of focusing on the元婴 or the妖丹, he turned his gaze towards the Star Sea.

At its center, a treasure floated quietly.

While it didn't look particularly extraordinary, it resembled an imperial seal from the secular world. However, one couldn't judge a book by its cover; this five-headed dragon seal was no ordinary item but Lin Xuan's most mysterious treasure. Though he wasn't sure what it was, even the Ice Soul Demon Ancestor coveted it, indicating its immense value.

Lin Xuan had once speculated that it might be an innate spirit treasure, though he couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was. Regardless, he knew it was a significant secret for him and his blue Star Sea. The benefits of this treasure were obvious.

However, Lin Xuan also realized how low his strength was and didn't dare delve into the five-headed dragon seal's secrets just yet. After all, studying something without knowing its true nature could be dangerous. He held onto it cautiously, fearing that revealing it might attract powerful cultivators' attention and lead to retaliation.

Lin Xuan maintained a cautious attitude towards this treasure, deciding to keep it for now and use it when the opportunity arose. This approach was sound, but after using the Five Dragons Playing with a Pearl technique to seal the妖丹's spiritual energy, Lin Xuan felt that the Star Sea center's five-headed dragon seal had moved slightly.

Unfortunately, he could only observe this once before it fell into a state of slumber. At that moment, sealing was crucial, so he didn't have time to investigate further. Now that the sealing was successful and he had some free time, Lin Xuan couldn't detect any changes in the five-headed dragon seal. Could what he saw earlier just be an illusion?

Lin Xuan pondered this but shook his head, confident that he hadn't made a mistake. After several fruitless attempts, he decided to give up.

With his current cultivation level, even if he discovered something about the five-headed dragon seal, it wouldn't be useful. Why waste time on futile efforts? Resting for a moment, Lin Xuan flicked his sleeve and a black pouch flew out from his waist. He examined this item with a thoughtful expression before pulling out an array of flags to set up in the training room.

Lin Xuan's actions were swift. Soon, a small array formed before him, transforming into a golden light curtain that covered several feet around. He then threw the black spiritual ghost bag into the light barrier and raised his right hand, casting a spell.

The bag opened, releasing grayish-white corpse energy, and a fierce roar echoed as a monster appeared in front of him—A Refined Corpse! However, this refined corpse was pale silver-colored, much larger than usual. Notably, it had a pair of silver wings on its back, resembling those of a bat.

Silver-Winged Corpse King!

Unlike the ordinary copper-plate corpses, this corpse king took over ten thousand years to cultivate and nurture by an ancient demon, requiring immense effort. Its strength was formidable; though not as powerful as the old demon, it could match a cultivator who had just entered the Shen State. Moreover, its body was almost immune to damage from artifacts due to its iron-like bones and copper skin. The force of its blows was beyond description.

With the ancient demon's demise, the Silver-Winged Corpse King naturally became Lin Xuan's possession. If he could subdue it for his own use, it would be an invaluable ally.

Lin Xuan daydreamed about this prospect but knew that it was merely a theoretical ideal. The Silver-Winged Corpse King had taken countless years to cultivate and couldn't possibly recognize him as its master so easily. However, the gap in cultivation between them made subduing this demon more challenging. Nevertheless, he decided to give it a try.
