Qianluo Ancient Ape is made with Qianluo Stone as the main material.
Qianluo Stone is a strange species in heaven and earth. It often grows in places with rich spiritual energy from plants and trees. It is mainly wood-attributed. When it is born, it has its own prototype of the Five Elements cycle.
It can evolve into the five elements of heaven and earth, nurture and grow itself, and its stone is as hard as eternal fine steel.
Even without being refined, even if an early Nascent Soul cultivator attacked with all his strength, it could at most be deformed, but could not be broken into pieces.
The place where it is born is not all places with rich spiritual energy of plants and trees. Instead, it is only possible to be born in places where the essence of plants and trees contains the five elements and under the influence of specific laws of heaven and earth.
In the beginning, Shuang Qingqing had spent a hundred years searching for the Qianluo Stone. Finally, during an experience across the Wild Moon Continent, they reached the Qingqing Continent and accidentally discovered a piece of the Qianluo Stone.
This piece of Qianluo Stone is no bigger than a baby's fist, but it is enough to make Shuang Qingqing ecstatic, as if she had found a treasure.
After returning to the sect, Shuang Qingqing spent a full ten years just to temper the Qianluo Stone and turn it into water. As the amount of Qianluo Stone she obtained was too little, she could only evenly apply it on the surface of the ancient ape puppet's body.
After another seven years of sacrifice and refining, he finally succeeded in refining the Thousand Luo Ancient Ape.
The reason why the Qianluo Ancient Ape is so powerful is not because he was refined with Qianluo Stone, but because of a tiny secret formation constructed by the Muliu Sect in its body.
This set of tiny formations is the core of the Muliu Sect. It makes the Qianluo Ancient Ape extremely powerful in the end and possesses the same great magical power as the Purple-Winged Ice Phoenix - "Shenheng Dou Zhuan".
Although the Purple-Winged Ice Phoenix was not refined using Qianluo Stone, it was refined using a more precious treasure from heaven and earth, the demon core of the "Amethyst Beast".
"Amethyst Beast" is a monster that devours the brilliant crystals on the seabed. It is gentle in nature and not good at fighting. It was completely extinct in the mortal world more than 100,000 years ago.
The reason for its extinction is that the crystal it devoured was not an ordinary crystal, but a purple crystal from the bottom of the deep sea.
This kind of crystal grows slowly, and it takes tens of thousands of years to form only a piece of ten feet in size. This is not enough for a young "Amethyst Beast" to eat a few bites, so it becomes increasingly difficult for the "Amethyst Beast" to reproduce, and the number of the species decreases sharply.
What really caused the demise of the "Amethyst Beast" was the cultivators. The flesh and bones of an adult "Amethyst Beast" had already crystallized, making it able to withstand the thunder calamities of heaven and earth. This characteristic of it accelerated its demise.
What high-level cultivators fear the most is going through tribulations and difficulties. Since ancient times, only one in ten cultivators can survive a tribulation.
Therefore, before going through the tribulation, all high-level cultivators will turn a deaf ear to what is happening outside and concentrate on preparing for decades, even hundreds or thousands of years, often just to prepare a few more magic weapons that can ensure the success of going through the tribulation.
When the body of the "Amethyst Beast" became capable of resisting the thunder and lightning of heaven and earth, it was faced with a catastrophic disaster.
Even the cultivators in the God Transformation Stage cannot do anything to the adult "Amethyst Beast", so the cultivators go around capturing young "Amethyst Beasts" and force them to sign a blood contract after catching them.
When it is raised to adulthood, they begin to help it overcome tribulations time and time again. Although the adult "Amethyst Beast" can resist the tribulations of heaven and earth, it can only resist and is not immortal.
Except for the initial breakthroughs of the Core Formation, Infant Formation and God Transformation stages, cultivators will definitely encounter heavenly tribulations. After reaching the God Transformation stage, it is recorded in the classics that heavenly tribulations will become more frequent.
This is because the cultivator who has reached the stage of Divine Transformation has touched the shackles of heaven and earth, which is not allowed by the rules of heaven and earth. The power of the heavenly tribulation is becoming stronger and stronger, and it is becoming more and more difficult to survive.
Therefore, no matter how strong the body of an adult "Amethyst Beast" is, it will eventually perish between heaven and earth along with the thunder tribulation.
Not many people knew the details of the tribulation above the Nascent Soul stage. It was an extremely secretive matter. The same was true for Li Yan, who had only seen a few words about it in some classics.
The "Amethyst Beast" is a water-attributed monster, and it is a single water-attributed monster. The spiritual power in its body is so pure that there is no impurity at all. Compared with human cultivators, the "Amethyst Beast" is a natural water-attributed holy spirit root.
This also makes the "Amethyst Beast" demon core form extremely soft and can be easily refined, and its function is immeasurable.
A pure holy-grade thunder-attribute demon core, once it comes out, will cause an endless bloody storm. Even a cultivator in the God Transformation Stage will do everything in his power to snatch it.
However, the probability of this happening is very low, because the flesh and blood of an adult "Amethyst Beast" cannot be harmed by thunder and lightning, and it is impossible to refine it into any magic weapon.
In other words, in this world, no cultivator can melt its body, and no one will kill the young "Amethyst Beast" to get the eggs, so magic weapons refined with the "Amethyst Beast" demon core are almost non-existent in this world.
But Shuang Qingqing once got a "purple crystal beast" demon core by chance.
However, the grade of this demon core is not high. It is the demon core of a young "Amethyst Beast". This young "Amethyst Beast" has been dead for many years and no one knows the cause of death.
When Shuang Qingqing saw this demon core, she only saw the shape of a small "Amethyst Beast" body deeply sunken in a rock groove, its bones and flesh had long been lost in the long river of time.
If the dead beast was an adult "Amethyst Beast", Shuang Qingqing absolutely believed that given the toughness of the adult "Amethyst Beast's" body, it should have survived.
In the rock groove in the shape of the body, there was a demon core the size of a walnut, which was almost dried up, and the spiritual power within it was almost exhausted over the years.
But even so, Shuang Qingqing was both surprised and delighted.
In the end, she used this thing to refine the Purple-Winged Ice Phoenix.
The core of the Purple-Winged Ice Phoenix's formation is this "Amethyst Beast" demon core. Of course, all this was done before refining the Thousand Luo Ancient Ape. Otherwise, she might have sacrificed the Thousand Luo Ancient Ape to refine it into her life-saving magic weapon.
Although the materials used to refine the Qianluo Ancient Ape and the Purple-Winged Ice Phoenix are different, they have the same effect. Their bodies are both refined with the secret formation of the Muliu Sect, and they possess the same incredible magical power, "The Horizontal Dipper".
The magical power of "Shen Heng Dou Zhuan" has almost no attack ability itself. Its most powerful feature is that it can use other spells to perform spells and use other people's force to counter attack.
In other words, "Can Heng Dou Zhuan" can only be performed when the opponent attacks, and the stronger the opponent, the sharper the counterattack.
Often, 70% of the opponent's attack can be rebounded, but in the eyes of outsiders, it is just like using the same magical power as the opponent. At the same time, this magical power can also convert this part of the external force obtained into its own magic and release it, making it impossible to figure out.
This is exactly the reason why Shuang Qingqing was able to dominate the world back then. As long as she was not besieged by too many people, she would have ample opportunity to compete with her opponents.
After quickly consuming the opponent's magic power, she would use the unexpected power of magical power to kill the opponent, causing great headaches for those who fought with her.
However, the use of this magical power also has certain limitations. The person who controls the Thousand Luo Ancient Ape or the Purple-Winged Ice Phoenix must have extremely high strength himself.
For Shuang Qingqing back then, with her cultivation level at the early stage of the Nascent Soul, she still had a chance of winning against one or two cultivators below the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. Even if she could not win, she had a great chance of escaping.
Even when fighting with a late Nascent Soul cultivator, she had a 30% to 40% chance of escaping alive. All this was enough to show that this magical power was already astonishing.
In addition to this, as Shuang Qingqing herself said, if one can borrow high-level spirit stones if one's own strength is not enough, then one can also deal with the early Nascent Soul cultivators.
However, high-level spirit stones are extremely precious items for Nascent Soul cultivators, not to mention low-level cultivators like Li Yan, who still want to obtain them.
When Shuang Qingqing left the sect, after some consideration, she decided to leave the Qianluo Ancient Ape in the sect and engraved a jade slip to control it for protection.
He then solemnly handed the jade slip to the most powerful elder in the sect at that time, who was in the late Jindan stage, and told him that he could only use the Thousand Luo Ancient Ape when the sect was in great trouble, so as to avoid the crime of possessing the treasure and being coveted by others.
With their Jindan stage cultivation level, even if they had the Thousand Luo Ancient Ape in their hands, if two or more Yuanying cultivators came, they would not be able to protect the Thousand Luo Ancient Ape at all.
In the end, the sect may end up being destroyed.
At that time, Shuang Qingqing thought that it was enough to leave this backup plan. She thought that it would only take a few decades to encircle and suppress the monsters. For a high-level cultivator, a few decades might just be the time for her to go into seclusion.
After receiving Shuang Qingqing's instructions, this late Jindan elder of the Muliu Sect naturally treated the Qianluo Ancient Ape as his life.
However, after Shuang Qingqing disappeared, the situation of Muliu Sect has been deteriorating. Some sects or families that originally wanted to curry favor with them and buy puppets began to covet Muliu Sect.
They also wanted to annex Muliu Sect and obtain its puppet-making secrets. But they were still worried about Muliu Sect, which had a strong foundation.
As a result, some sects and families united to suppress the Muliu clan. After several secret attacks, they saw that the Muliu clan did not retaliate, so they became more and more daring.
In the end, it had reached a point where even disciples who went out to purchase materials for refining equipment would be ambushed by others.
The Muliu Sect was in great desperation and had to have several Jindan elders of the sect go out in turns to buy materials for refining equipment, and then sell the puppets at an appropriate price to barely maintain the survival of the Muliu Sect.
And that late Jindan elder disappeared after he went out one of his trips.
Since then, the secret of the Thousand Luo Ancient Ape has been lost, and the other elders in the sect only know that the Thousand Luo Ancient Ape plays an important role in the sect and contains important secrets, but they do not know the specific situation.
In desperation, the Muliu Sect had to abandon its original location and moved several times.
Finally, they arrived at the most remote place, and the strength of the entire sect had become increasingly weak.
After listening to Shuang Qingqing's introduction about the Qianluo Ancient Ape, Li Yan thought of some words Bai Rou had said before, and connected some things before and after.
But Bai Rou once said that in the Muliu Sect's inheritance, Shuang Qingqing was not the only one who succeeded in forming a fetus. There were other people who succeeded in forming a fetus before her, he couldn't help but say this in confusion.
“I have heard from Senior Sister Bai Rou that Muliu Sect has had three Nascent Soul cultivators since its establishment.
If every Nascent Soul senior left behind a puppet similar to the Thousand Luo Ape before ascending or leaving the sect, the Muliu Sect would know a thing or two about the use of the Thousand Luo Ape."
After hearing what Li Yan said, Shuang Qingqing rolled her eyes, snorted, and said unhappily.
"Humph, do you think that a puppet of the level of Qianluo Ancient Ape can be picked up just like cabbages on the roadside
It was only because of my incredible luck that I was able to obtain the materials needed to refine the Purple-Winged Ice Phoenix and the Thousand-Luo Ancient Ape.
Among the first two Nascent Soul elders, only one of them found the refining materials, and it took him more than 600 years.
In the end, the puppet he refined, of course, became his natal magic weapon. Have you ever seen anyone who could give away his natal magic weapon? Not even the sect can do that.
As for the other Nascent Soul Elder, as far as I know, until she embarked on the path of ascension, she was still looking for materials that could be used to refine the "Shenheng Dou Zhuan".
Without the help of puppets, the strength of the Muliu Sect monks would be greatly reduced, and the chance of the Nascent Soul ancestor successfully ascending to heaven would be less than 30%.
But her time has come. After failing to become a god, she will have to die in the mortal world. Only by ascending to the fairy world can she extend her life.
It is said that the spiritual energy there is so dense that it is incredible, allowing a Nascent Soul cultivator to live for more than 2,000 years. Even breaking through to the Spiritualization Stage is much easier than in the mortal world...
Well, you don’t need to know too much about these things. Anyway, the Qianluo Ancient Ape is just a magical weapon that I got by accident.”
After Shuang Qingqing said this, she waved her jade hand impatiently. She didn't want to say more about things above the Nascent Soul Realm.
She was able to say a few words about the fairy world because Li Yan indirectly saved her life.
These secrets will only be circulated among cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage. The rest of the cultivators are not allowed to know even a little bit.
