An energy body of simple consciousness
Yang Qi raised his eyebrows. It was not that he had not seen energy bodies with simple consciousness before. When he was in the Phoenix Clan’s territory and entered the place where the ancestors of the Phoenix Clan fell, he encountered similar existence.
"An energy body formed from dead air?"
A gleam of light flashed in Yang Qi's eyes, and he vaguely understood why the aura of his Ancestral Dragon and Ancestral Phoenix could hurt those strange creatures.
What actually hurt the energy body was not the aura of the Ancestral Dragon, but the aura of the Ancestral Phoenix. However, the auras of the Ancestral Dragon and the Ancestral Phoenix had merged and become indistinguishable from each other long ago, so naturally it was impossible to separate one of them.
The Phoenix clan's aura and bloodline have a certain degree of restraint on this kind of deathly aura, as well as dead corpses and even corpse puppets. The restraint of the Ancestral Phoenix's aura is naturally greater, so it can hurt these strange creatures.
“The aura of the Ancestral Dragon and Ancestral Phoenix grows stronger with the practice of the Source God Canon. Unfortunately, the Source God Canon cannot be improved much in a short period of time.” Yang Qi sighed in his heart, and understood that it would be impossible to increase his restraint on those strange creatures in a short period of time.
Of course, Yang Qi could draw upon the aura of the Ancestral Dragon and Phoenix deep within his soul, but drawing upon the aura of the Ancestral Dragon and Phoenix would consume too much energy for Yang Qi now, and it could not be used as a conventional means of combat. At most, it could be used to save his life at a critical moment.
Li Xuan looked at Yang Qi and said hopefully, "Brother Yang, can you think of any solution?"
“If we have tens of thousands of years, there might still be a way, but now…” Yang Qi smiled bitterly and shook his head.
The practice of the Source God Canon is time-consuming. Although Yang Qi has not neglected the practice of the Source God Canon in the past two hundred years since he came to the Absolute Sky Realm, he has focused more on the comprehension of the Way of Time and Space. Now he is at the eighth level of the practice of the Source God Canon, but he has just started. If you want to quickly improve the Source God Canon, you must have treasures of the same level as the Origin Pearl or the Lightning Source Pearl. However, the Absolute Sky Realm is isolated from the world, so you can forget about the Origin Pearl. As for the Lightning Source Pearl, treasures of this level are extremely precious even for the Martial Emperor Realm, but the Absolute Sky Realm cannot even give birth to a Martial Emperor, so the possibility of this level of treasure appearing is almost zero.
If one does not rely on external objects and simply relies on one's own practice, it will take tens of thousands of years to reach the eighth level of the Source God Canon and reach the perfect level.
Therefore, if you want to achieve success in the Source God Canon in a short period of time, it is simply impossible in the Absolute Sky Realm!
As soon as these words came out, a bitter smile appeared on Li Xuan's face. After entering the Death Zone, they had no way to retreat. And in the Death Zone, it was almost impossible for practitioners to comprehend and practice.
In the dead zone, the cultivators' perception of the Tao has dropped to the extreme, and even the vitality of heaven and earth is gone. How can they practice? They can't even practice for a short period of time, let alone tens of thousands of years. Unless Yang Qi has not entered the dead zone, how can he know that Yang Qi's attack can be effective against those strange creatures
This is an unsolvable deadlock!
After all, Li Xuan had lived for hundreds of thousands of years and was the leader of a sect. He quickly came to his senses and looked at Yang Qi and said, "Although you, brother Yang, cannot improve your ability to control those strange creatures for the time being, you are not alone. If you encounter those strange creatures again, you only need to force the hidden strange creatures out, and leave the rest to us."
“It’s natural.”
Yang Qi nodded. Other practitioners could not attack the strange creatures when they were hidden, but as long as they showed their bodies, ordinary practitioners could also attack them.
Therefore, Yang Qi does not need to rely on himself to deal with those strange creatures. All he has to do is force those strange creatures out of their hiding state, and Li Xuan and others will naturally deal with those strange creatures.
For Li Xuan and others, the most terrifying thing about those strange creatures is that they can hide in the dead air. Attacks at this time are ineffective, but once they reveal their bodies, they will immediately attack the practitioners. It can be said that these strange creatures are assassins everywhere. In addition, the strength of the strange creatures is not weak. It is impossible for practitioners to be on guard all the time. As long as there is a slight mistake, the strange creatures can take their lives.
Now that Yang Qi is able to deal with the hidden strange creatures, it means that they no longer have to worry about sneak attacks from strange creatures. They only need to deal with those strange creatures head-on, which is naturally much less dangerous.
The recovered practitioners woke up one after another and took over the practitioners who were responsible for protecting the Dharma. The three teams of practitioners took turns, and soon all the practitioners in the entire team recovered to their peak.
Next, everyone set out again and continued to explore. Because they had encountered strange creatures before, the group was obviously much more careful. After each team explored for a period of time, the next team would take over and then return to the team to rest and recover.
They continued walking forward, and no one knew how much time had passed before they encountered the strange creature again.
"Are we exploring in the wrong direction?" Li Xuan frowned slightly.
Yang Qi is the only cultivator who can force out the strange creatures in hiding, so the team Yang Qi belongs to is also the strongest team. There are two cultivators at the peak of Martial Emperor alone, just to ensure Yang Qi's safety.
After all, only if Yang Qi is safe, the danger for everyone will be lower when encountering strange creatures. Yang Qi’s safety is now the top priority of the team.
Hearing this, Yang Qi shook his head slightly and said, "It should be correct. The death energy here is stronger than the previous area."
Because the perception range was suppressed to the extreme, the group had to go a long distance to detect the changes in the dead energy, so many times they had to go a long distance before changing direction again. This wasted a lot of time, but it was also a helpless move. After all, only by finding a reference point could they determine whether their direction was correct.
"We haven't encountered any strange creatures along the way. It's so peaceful that it makes me feel a little uneasy." Li Xuan said in a deep voice.
Over the years, after generations of ancestors entered the dead zone to explore, the practitioners of the Absolute Sky Realm have accumulated a lot of information about the dead zone. Once they encounter strange creatures, as long as the direction is correct, under normal circumstances, they will encounter more and stronger strange creatures on the way. But now, they have not encountered any strange creatures along the way, which is indeed a bit abnormal.
"Maybe it's because Brother Yang injured the hidden strange creatures when he took action before, and those strange creatures are scared now?" A cultivator not far away said with a smile.
Because of Yang Qi's special skills, Li Xuan and others also re-arranged their responses to the strange creatures they encountered next. The practitioners in the team all knew Yang Qi's restraint on those strange creatures, and their inner pressure was reduced a lot, and they were no longer so afraid of those strange creatures.
