The young man in black had a thin face, which looked pale for not being shone by the sunlight over a long time. His long hair was just as dry as the wild grass in the late autumn.
Maybe because he had faced the rock wall for too long, even his eyes appeared steel blue.
His eyes were half opened, which yet glistened with wolf-like light.
He stared at Ning Changjiu vigilantly, asking with a dry and hoarse voice, “Who are you? Why are you here?” The several iron swords all stood up, giving off an air of hostility.
Ning Changjiu looked at him without making any moves, saying bluntly, “You want to forge your body and acupoints with the sword intent and sword fire by taking your body as the sword fetus. This method itself is not wrong but your body is not strong enough. If you insist on doing so, what you gain won’t make up for the losses.”
The young man in black just stared at him fiercely, asking, “I excel my peers
Ning Changjiu thought of the abyss-like space and nodded his head. “Yeah, I know that.”He could vaguely feel something was hidden at the bottom of the peak but in light of his current cultivation level, he could absolutely never be that silly to take risk at will.Ning Changjiu pointed at the carved words on the ground, saying, “Read the two chapters a few times and think them through before cultivating.”There was a glint of excitement in Nancheng’s eyes. He just couldn’t wait to stare at the writings. Covering his chest rising and falling nonstop, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, saying, “Thank you, sir. If I can advance on the road of Taoism, I must send you a big present!”Ning Changjiu got up and left with a flick of his sleeves, answering faintly, “Okay.”Staring at the white figure’s back, Nancheng was wondering whether that was what an accomplished and rejuvenescent cultivator looked like.
It was silent in the sword hall.Ning Changjiu sat on the chair but the chair was fine and showed no sign of collapsing.A look of surprise flashed across Lerou’s face. She subconsciously looked Yunze in the eye. They both caught sight of each other’s shocked look.Lerou knitted her brows and clenched her fists, seeming to say that it was fine. They had other moves followed.Yunze turned around and looked up in secret to stare at Ning Changjiu. Seeing the latter pick up the book naturally, he held his breath nervously.Ning Changjiu unfolded the book and said in surprise, “Erk!” Seeing him rubbing his fingers, Lerou was delighted, thinking that the fringe was also added with some strange powder. If he dared to suck his fingers, he would be dizzy for a whole day until he had a sleep.Ning Xiaoling had leaned over with concern and asked gently, “Changjiu, are you okay?”Ning Changjiu show
Lerou flattened the hemline of her sword clothes and moved her butt onto the chair slowly.“Well... It seems all right indeed.”She pressed herself against the chair lightly and mumbled. Then, she gradually put her weight on it.After confirming nothing would happen, she was slightly relaxed and said with a sigh, “Alas. I’ve underestimated the quality of the chair. I should have cut... Argh!”Clang! The chair leg was broken and the cut log was thrown far away. Amidst a shout, Lerou’s body suddenly sank and inclined aside. Before she could exert the spiritual power to protect herself, she had thumped to the ground.“Alas... Ouch...”Lerou lay back against the ground and yelled in pain, covering her waist and staring at the chair in exasperation... Luckily, she was a cultivator. It was not very painful to thump on the ground and no one saw her like this, which was not so awkward...Thinki
The hidden peak was rich in aura, where it was good for cultivating.It was attributed to the simple aura aggregation law. The aura dense in a place relied on the number and the cultivation levels of cultivators. The aura would tend to gather in a place with a bigger number of cultivators and higher cultivation levels.This was also the reason why the cultivators would establish a sect for cultivation.The sect was where cultivators collected. Hence, the aura here must be more than that of other places. Therefore, the stronger the sect was, the easier it would be to foster great disciples. A rogue cultivator like Ning Qinshui could only reach the Immortal Realm at most after cultivating for a lifetime.Of course, Ning Changjiu wouldn’t think about whether he was eligible for cultivating on the hidden peak. Since he could come here, he must be eligible for cultivating here.Holding the spiritual fruits and elixir
Ning Changjiu raised his head with his eyes closed. His face paled a bit. The aura turned into wisps of smoke and faded away from the corners of his eyes.He touched his cheeks and looked at the blood on his fingers silently.Just now, he stared into the extreme depths through the mist but he still couldn’t see the bottom as if there were a natural barrier extending the space and blocking his vision.There seemed to be something unknowable hidden under the barrier. When he tried to look deeper, the darkness in the abyss started to roll and instantly cloak his vision. Meanwhile, his eyes were backlashed at once, and his spirit seemed to be separated from his body and fall within.He could only close his eyes to stop prying. After taking a few breaths, he finally slowly opened his eyes. Light started to collect and gather in his eyes.Ning Changjiu wiped off the blood and the vessels in his pupils slowly faded away. “Is
When Ning Changjiu left the library, he was still a bit muddled.He could feel that Yan Zhou meant to chat with him deliberately but still stayed alerted faintly. Yet, why did Yan Zhou tell him something so important today?Did Yan Zhou have some doubts about him and thus try to test him?He had a guess but he couldn’t be sure of it.Yet, if what Yan Zhou said was true, the remains of a god were buried on the desolate land of the South Continent. What kind of cultivation level did the god reach before he perished?Ning Changjiu once read some books about gods fighting with each other in the library of Bu Ke Temple. As far as he learned, there didn’t seem to be any big wars among gods over the past 1000 years or so.The twelve masters of the states of Yin were in charge of the supreme power in the universe but they still couldn’t take hold of all the power. As a result, the remaining power became the cradle
Tonight, the sky seemed to be shattered, causing the jade bits to scatter. The strange rocks on the Tianku Peak were covered with snow, which looked like white jade platforms. Decorated by the snow, the deadwood became “white trees”. Where the plum flowers and snow lotus bloomed, the faint fragrance permeated the air.Ning Changjiu and Ning Xiaoling walked to the summit of the peak.Ning Xiaoling, wearing the cotton-padded dress and a jacket, blew on her palms and rubbed her hands.Ning Changjiu was still dressed in white and thin clothes. Yet, he was carrying a wooden case. It was hard to tell what was in the case.Snowflakes whirled in the sky like a myriad of feathers.“Changjiu, many people are watching us...” Ning Xiaoling said with worry.Ning Changjiu took a look at the bottom of the snow cliff. The disciples came out one after another, holding an umbrella to block the snow. The surface of the umbre
It was snowing heavily with a gale. The deadly rocks hung in the sky, except for a sword star sparkling stably at an extremely high position. That was the one lit up by Ning Xiaoling.The young girl supported herself on the sword, her cloth shoes half stuck in the snow. As she watched Ning Changjiu walk by her, she clenched her fists nervously.Lu Jiajia looked at the antique sword armor standing in the light sphere with the sword and then said, “Xiaoling, the light sphere won’t last long. You must seize the time.”Ning Xiaoling said with her gaze fixed on her fellow disciple, “Yes, Master.”Lu Jiajia heaved a sigh and also gazed at Ning Changjiu.Ning Changjiu, dressed in white with his hair scattered, walked forward on the snowfield with the crunch of the snow. He took a look at the sword star that was closest to Ning Xiaoling’s and estimated the distance inwardly. Then, he put down the wooden case and bent down to t
