The nine bronze statues of the spirit beasts floated to the sea of clouds.
Above the sea of clouds, a huge black shadow suddenly loomed up.
It was like when one was boating on the lake in the daytime, he suddenly saw a huge and oval shadow appear under the wooden boat.
The shadow could not only arouse one’s instinctive fear because its appearance usually indicated that death was knocking on the door.
That was what people called the heavenly demon.
Before Rosefinch flew across the Three Thousand Worlds, a heavenly demon had arrived first somehow.
The imperial preceptor was slightly shocked first and then got relieved.
He stood up and overlooked the huge imperial city from the height. The criss-cross streets, residences and commercial areas appeared rather small and yet very vivid, which looked like a magnificent ancient scroll.
“The goddess is really so...thoroughly scheming,” the
Ning Changjiu slightly opened his eyes.The gale was blowing.The blood on his clothes had coagulated. His bloodstained clothes were whistling in the wind. With a pale face, his breathing was quite faint. However, his arms were still bent and his fingers were gripping the snow fox’s body firmly.Before the snow fox’s joy, pride and rejoicing in surviving the calamity could reveal themselves, it was finished by a slash from behind.It couldn’t see the young girl’s face clearly. What it could feel was the piercing coldness.The sword was so unbelievably thin and thus sharp beyond imagination.Ning Changjiu raised his neck with difficulty. There was a remarkable red mark on his forehead which was pressed against Ning Xiaoling’s for more than two hours.In his vision, a young girl in black struck a slash. He couldn’t see her face but he could see the stunning figure vaguely.He knew w
The spirit-swallower that looked like a huge ox split up slowly in the sky. The seemingly indestructible body showed numerous thin cracks after it was split up, slowly sinking and falling to the secular world. Then, it turned into the gaseous aura in midair, flew upward and formed masses of evil clouds.Those were only the primary evil clouds, which looked as beautiful as amber. Now, in the sunset glow, it appeared crystally rosy, just like the tender flowers in the sky.In the sunset, the man wearing old black clothes was standing in the air. Carrying the saber on his shoulder, he looked at the split-up spirit-swallower and gradually closed-up crack of the void, and nodded with satisfaction. Then, he looked back and gazed at Zhao Xiang’er for a moment with somewhat regret. Subconsquently, he turned the gaze to the young man who was kneeling on the ground and holding a little girl in his arms behind them.The man suddenly narrowed his eyes and
It rained all night long and didn’t ease up until day broke.Holding the sword in her arms, Lu Jiajia leaned against the window for a snooze. Her clothes in the morning sunshine looked like snow.Ning Changjiu had the medicine soup and regained some strength. He sat up with his back on a pillow, leaning against the wooden bed and looking at the sunlight shone from the window. The light shone on Lu Jiajia’s body vaguely, adding some artistic beauty to her.Shortly, some noises also came from Zhao Xiang’er’s bed.Ning Changjiu asked, “You are up too?”Zhao Xiang’er was obviously unwilling to accept the fact that she woke up later than him, so she lied, “I’ve been up for a long time.”Upon hearing the noises, Lu Jiajia opened her eyes. After rubbing her eyes, she slightly cleared her head and then brought a bowl of warm medicine soup.Zhao Xiang’er fetched the medicine soup and said thanks. As he
“Changjiu, what should I notice in terms of cultivation?”“Just follow the books.”“So simple? What if the books are wrong?”“Xiaoling, it is quite good that you can think this way before you haven’t started cultivating officially.”“So, what should I do?”“If you think the books are wrong, you can ask me with the books and I will identify for you.”“Emm... Are you always right?”Ning Changjiu took an indifferent look at her.Ning Xiaoling sat up straight and nodded seriously, “Sure. You must be right!”Zhao Xiang’er, wearing a black cloak and a ponytail tied up with the red string, listened to them talking and turned her head around quietly to rub her ears.Lu Jiajia smiled resignedly.“Changjiu, is it too late for me to begin cultivating at the age of 14?” Ning Xiaoling asked worriedly.“No. There are lots of strange people and
This was the first time that Ning Xiaoling had arrived at the immortal mountain.The moment she got out of the blue-and-white sedan, she felt the wind in this world was flowing like actual water, except that it was much lighter, just like a tender hand stroking her softly.That was the wind brought by the flow of the rich spiritual power. When it swept across her body, it was like the spring breeze blowing the floral bells, causing a piece of beautiful and mysterious music pleasing to the ears and mind.Ning Xiaoling raised her head gingerly and looked around.The peak which only looked like a small sharp corner from below now appeared so incomparably spacious that the boundary couldn’t be seen by one glance. Without the clouds, she would think that this place was an open and flat valley.To her most surprise, countless stones were hanging on the top of the peak.Those stones looked like diamond-shaped cry
At the door of the sword hall, an old man was sleepy with his eyes half-closed, holding a stick.Ning Changjiu walked to him and knocked on the table.The old man slightly raised his eyes and took a glance at him, asking, “What’s the matter?”Ning Changjiu said, “Lu Jiajia asked me to get a wooden tablet.”“Lu Jiajia... Who is that?” The old man thought for a while and scratched his hair. Then, he was astonished and widened his eyes, saying, “How dare you call the deputy peak master’s name directly?”Ning Changjiu nodded and said, “Yes, she asked me to come here.”The old man looked him up and down, saying, “I’ve heard of what happened outside. It seems that she also brings back a disciple?”Ning Changjiu said, “That’s my fellow disciple.”The old man asked, “Where is your fellow disciple?”Ning Changjiu said, “She is in the sword hall now, performing the ritual of ac
It was extraordinary in Tianku Peak.During several centuries, due to the hard work of cultivators from generation to generation, this heavenly peak was mostly caverned out.In the mountain, there were countless beehive-like caves. The end of the caves was more than ten stairs. The front half of the stairs were made of stone while the latter half were made of wood. Looking forward along the stairs, you would have an open view and then see continuous spaces adjacent to each other.The spaces were not dark because every stone brick and rock mass were glittering. All the residential caves were built against the peak. They were elegantly furnished, where the bed, incense table, burning furnace and curio shelf were all exquisitely made and equipped.In the middle of the peak was a huge straight and round log in view. The big log was joined by countless wood pieces, which also grew a lot of big wooden arms to support all the things in th
“What do you want to say?” Ning Changjiu asked.Ning Xiaoling stared at him seriously, saying, “Changjiu, are you a bit nervous now?”Ning Changjiu was slightly bewildered and then composed himself soon, saying with a smile, “How so? Xiaoling, don’t keep me guessing.”Puckering her lips, Ning Xiaoling hesitated for a while and then faltered, “Changjiu... Recently I’ve seemed able to feel how you feel.”Ning Changjiu was dazed and then understood what she meant quickly. Since he borrowed the four words--Yong Jie Tong Xin as the anchor to connect the two of them, their mentality and emotions had been interlinked, which would affect each other subtly.Nevertheless, somehow, his emotion was always relatively calm, which Ning Xiaoling could perceive; on the contrary, she was relatively out-going, so it was rather difficult for him to perceive her emotion clearly.Of course, he wouldn’t admit it for sure. If he
