Looking at his prodigal points that had shrunk by half, Ye Xuan felt a little distressed. But thinking about it, it didn’t seem like a loss to exchange these things for a thousand-year-old secret and the collection of the Penglai Immortal Beasts.
In an instant, the wind and clouds surged, and the black Qi seemed to sense something. It began to boil, like water dropping into a pot of oil. It rushed straight into the sky, and the entire sky was shrouded in a black curtain.
There was an invisible force in the world that fell on the bodies of those black monsters, and countless black Qi was instantly peeled off. These black Qi had been used as a medium by the Penglai Immortal Beast, and after thousands of years, it continued to develop and grow. At the same time, it had almost integrated with the beasts.
It was almost impossible to separate the two. Even the gods might not be able to do it. However, this difficult task was easy for Ye Xuan, who had the prodigal system.
The people of the Tai Qing Sect could not help but be frightened. One of them commented, “There is so much evil Qi. If it erupts, I don’t know what kind of impact it will have.”
“What a sinister force. I wonder what that person is thinking. What does he want to do by creating this black Qi?”
Hearing the discussion of the Tai Qing Sect and the others, the ball of light felt particularly uncomfortable.
As there was a large amount of black Qi to be purified this time, it would take some time.
As the black Qi peeled off, they also revealed their original soul state, which was similar to the previous light ball, but much smaller.
“These were once the strong ones of my clan. Back then, they were on the verge of transforming into human form. Thinking that it would be difficult for them to escape this calamity, they might as well fight for the survival of their clan members.”
“Who would have thought that fate would make a fool of us? Perhaps this is the fate of our race.”
Ye Xuan was a little confused. He asked, “Didn’t you notice something wrong with that man?”
Logically speaking, the Penglai Immortal Beasts were so powerful that they shouldn’t have been fooled so easily.
“It’s all my fault for wanting to break the curse so badly that I was blinded with desire. In addition, there was no such strange black Qi when he did the sacrifice in the beginning. That’s why we decided to walk on a path of no return.”
It seemed that the Penglai Immortal Beasts were not too stupid, but that man was too cunning. He took advantage of the fact that the Penglai Immortal Beasts did not want to be annihilated, and thus took the opportunity to carefully set up a trap.
“This black Qi is extremely Yin and evil. It can even bewitch people. Do you know its origin and use?”
Through their previous contact, Ye Xuan knew that the culprit wasn’t the dead Penglai Immortal Beasts that had been sacrificed, but rather the black Qi.
The ball of light indicated that it didn’t know either. It didn’t even know when the man put these things into its body.
This result was within Ye Xuan’s expectations. How could a man with such a meticulous mind easily let the Penglai Immortal Beast know?
It was likely that the black Qi had already taken over the Penglai Immortal Beasts’ body as a parasite at the very beginning of the sacrifice.
Just as the two of them were conversing, the black Qi was completely purified and the world returned to its clear state. There was no longer the howling of the wind as if the end of the world had arrived.
The cold and uncomfortable feeling also dissipated, and the big stone that was pressing on everyone’s heart was also removed. The people of the Tai Qing Sect were relieved, and even the air felt much fresher.
The sky was clear and the sun was bright as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.
Countless white spots of light slowly gathered, but they could not open their mouths like the previous ball of light. They only surrounded the ball of light, like stars surrounding the moon.
The light ball’s voice was sorrowful. It said, “A thousand years have consumed too much of them. In addition to the corrosion of the black Qi, even if they have been cleared now, they are not in a good state.”
These light spots were not bright in color, and it was obvious that they were extremely weak.
“I’m afraid it won’t be long before it vanishes from the world.”
To be able to wake up and dispel the black Qi all over their bodies before they died was considered a very good thing. They could die without regrets. Otherwise, if they continued to be in such a state of chaos and become pawns in the hands of others, it would be even more unbearable than death.
“I’m sorry for believing the words of cunning people and causing you to fall to this point.”
The dots of light emitted a faint light as if they were comforting the ball of light. This scene moved people.
“The Penglai Immortal Beasts are so miserable. How could such an Immortal Beast be reduced to such a state?”
It was very difficult for demonic beasts to cultivate to take human form, but the Penglai Immortal Beasts were blessed by the heavens. They had no difficulties on the path of cultivation, and almost every newborn beast had great strength.
Who would have thought that the power of the curse and the mysterious man would cause them to encounter such a disaster?
“Fine, everything is heaven’s will. I won’t force it anymore.”
“Thank you for your help,” the ball of light said to Ye Xuan. It continued, “You’ve allowed them to return to their original appearance. Please come with me.”
The people of the Tai Qing Sect suddenly became excited.
The collection of the Penglai Immortal Beasts!
That was brought out from Penglai Immortal Island. Could there be immortal medicine in it?
The ball of light led the way, while the rest of the light spots followed behind. Now that they could no longer return to Penglai Immortal Island, returning to the place where they first started could be considered as returning to their hometown.
Through the conversation with Ye Xuan, it also knew the situation outside and couldn’t help but sigh, “I didn’t expect that the Penglai Immortal Island had sunk for nearly a thousand years and no longer exists in the world.”
“People know very little about the Penglai Immortal Island. Even if they have heard of it, they treat it as a legend. Why is there no record of it in the outside world? And I only know about the Penglai Immortal Beasts now.”
Speaking of this, Ye Xuan felt a little strange. If Penglai Immortal Island really existed, it was impossible that there were no ancient historical records. On the contrary, there was no record of it in the history books.
