Ning Fan finally decided to take little Dugu with him.
With Emperor Xia accompanying him on this trip, there will be no danger along the way.
Emperor Xia has entered the secret land of Xia Kingdom countless times alone, and the greatest danger is only enough to kill ordinary Life Immortals.
For Emperor Xia, any danger is not danger.
When Emperor Ling heard that Ning Fan and Dugu wanted to go to Xia Kingdom's secret land, he naturally sternly dissuaded them.
However, when Emperor Xia showed a hint of strength in front of Emperor Ling, Emperor Ling was so shocked that he no longer had any doubts.
Emperor Ling never knew that the last Emperor Xia of the Xia Kingdom had lived for six million years and lived to this life.
Emperor Xia's strength was too unfathomable. With him accompanying him, Emperor Ling felt relieved.
"Let's go."
Emperor Xia took just one step, and ripples immediately appeared under his feet.
The ripples echoed to the feet of Ning Fan and Dugu, and the two of them immediately felt like they were integrated into the world.
In just one breath, Emperor Xia had already taken Ning Fan and Dugu and escaped from the Snow Frontier to the Heavenly Territory.
"What a mysterious speed!" Ning Fan's eyes were filled with wonder.
"This is the art of shrinking the ground into an inch. Only a handful of true immortals can understand it. Take this jade slip, which records my experience in understanding this art. If one day you become a true immortal, you can study this carefully. Skills will surely pay off.”
Emperor Xia casually threw a jade slip to Ning Fan without looking back.
His eyes were filled with pain, looking at the bottomless abyss in front of him.
This abyss is the entrance to the secret land of Xia Kingdom.
Ning Fan put away the jade slips, only took a glance at it, then sighed and put away the jade slips.
The jade slips recorded all of Emperor Xia's insights into the art of shrinking the ground into an inch. However, Ning Fan is still unable to comprehend these insights.
Looking at the bottomless abyss, little Dugu felt a slight pain in his heart for some reason.
She frowned, her face slightly pale.
Ning Fan grabbed Xiao Dugu's soft palm and frowned. Little Dugu's hands are so cold...
He channeled his own magic power into little Dugu's body. The latter's complexion gradually improved.
"Don't go if you feel uncomfortable." Ning Fan said with concern.
"No, I want to go. But, can you let go of my hand..."
Little Dugu's pretty face turned red and she wanted to take out her hand. However, Ning Fan's hand was tightly grasped and he could not pull away.
This is the first time she holds hands with Ning Fan...
She could clearly feel the temperature in Ning Fan's palm. The warmth and safety made her feel a little nostalgic.
"That's it, I'm holding your hand. You follow me. After entering the secret place, no matter what dangers there are, don't be afraid, I'm here!"
Even though Emperor Xia was following him, Ning Fan still remained extremely wary.
Don't be careless at any time.
"Follow me and don't take a single step."
Emperor Xia reminded him, and jumped into the abyss.
Ning Fan temporarily let go of Xiao Dugu's hand, and Xiao Dugu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Suddenly. Little Dugu felt his soft waist being hugged by a strong arm.
Ning Fan hugged little Dugu and jumped straight to the bottom of the abyss. The abyss is tens of millions of feet deep, and Emperor Xia is waiting for Ning Fan and Ning Fan at the bottom of the abyss.
Ning Fan let go of Xiao Dugu's waist and took Xiao Dugu's hand again. Ning Fan began to look at the environment at the bottom of the abyss.
This is an ancient ruin with an artificial crystal sun in the sky that makes the ground as bright as day.
The soil underfoot was very soft and covered with weeds. There was a scent of grass in the air, mixed with the smell of blood.
Very light. But Ning Fan had a very keen sense of the smell of blood.
In the green grass, you can see collapsed ancient stele from time to time. Each ancient stele has only two words on it, written in sacred script...
Abandon the sword!
The handwriting was carved with a sword, and it was clearly beautiful. But it also implies an edge, as if it was carved by a woman.
It is not difficult to imagine that this place is the secret place of the Sword Ancestor, and that word was naturally carved by the Sword Ancestor.
But why did the Sword Ancestor carve the word "abandoned sword" and carve so many words on it?
Could it be that there is some profound sword theory in this abandoned sword?
"My sword intention was learned in this secret place, so it has a hint of the sword intention of the Sword Ancestor."
"After passing this grassland, there will be a deserted forest. That is where the Immortal Formation is, and the people you sent died there."
Emperor Xia finished speaking and walked forward.
Ning Fan took a deep look at the ancient monument and led Dugu away.
Dugu looked at the ancient monument, his expression was startled and confused for a while.
"Abandon the sword, abandon the sword..."
She murmured these two words, and her heart ached slightly.
She didn't know why she felt this way, but she had no reason to think that the woman who carved these two words must be feeling very painful in her heart.
Why she felt like this, she didn't know.
After walking forward for more than ten miles, a huge wild forest appeared in front of us.
In the wild forest, every giant tree is one hundred thousand feet high, with dead branches and no leaves.
On the ground, bones that have fallen for many years can be seen everywhere, as well as some newly arrived corpses.
The owners of these corpses are all powerful men from the Heavenly Palace.
Ning Fan looked at the giant trees with solemn eyes. He could tell that among every dozens of giant trees, there was one giant tree that contained a sword ancestor's sword energy, which could instantly kill a monk.
Thousands of giant trees lined up in an array, forming a terrifyingly powerful fairy-level sword array!
The reason why it is an immortal-level sword formation is because the power of the sword energy weakens over time due to wear and tear.
This formation was naturally set up by the Sword Ancestor. If the power of this formation is at its peak, any true immortal who breaks into this formation will only die!
Ning Fan would not feel any sadness when he saw the corpses of countless strong men from the Heavenly Palace. Tiandian was originally an enemy, but he was forced to take him as a slave. If he dies, he will die.
Emperor Xia looked at those withered bones that had fallen for many years, but his eyes were filled with sadness and guilt.
Those people were all powerful men from the Xia Kingdom six million years ago, because Emperor Xia was confused and fell here.
Tsk tsk tsk!
As Ning Fan and his party went deep into the wild forest, the sword array on all sides suddenly reacted. Hundreds of thousands of Sword Ancestor Sword Qi broke out of the array and came towards Ning Fan and others.
Without saying a word, Ning Fan pulled Xiao Dugu behind him, as if he was ready to take action at any time.
His eyes were extremely solemn, there were at least 1,200 Sword Ancestor Sword Qi here!
Each sword energy can instantly kill a monk to pieces. If attacked by twelve hundred sword energy at the same time, even an ordinary Life Immortal will be severely injured!
"receive!"
Emperor Xia grabbed it with his big hand, and all the twelve hundred sword energies were absorbed into his palm.
As soon as the mana was condensed, all the sword energy merged into one, forming a golden sword light.
Another condensation. The golden sword light turned into a small golden sword.
"This thing can be used for self-defense."
Emperor Xia handed the golden sword to Ning Fan and continued moving forward without saying a word.
Ning Fan took the small sword and felt the vast sword energy contained in the small sword. His eyes changed.
This small sword is made of sword energy. Once it is sacrificed, it can be transformed into one thousand two hundred sword ancestor sword energy, which can deal a heavy blow to the Immortal of Life!
Ning Fan put away the golden sword and held little Dugu in hand. Following Emperor Xia.
Emperor Xia stopped under the largest giant tree in the wild forest and pointed towards the giant tree.
But there was a flash of golden light, and in an instant, the giant tree in front of him turned into ashes and disappeared.
The next moment, all the trees in the deserted forest turned into flying ash and disappeared.
After doing all this, Emperor Xia raised his hand and grabbed the ground, pulled out a sword-shaped gold stone from the ground, and gave it to little Dugu.
"The Immortal Level Sword Formation has been destroyed. This is a sword stone formed from the power of the sword formation. It can help sword cultivators greatly improve their cultivation. A piece of sword stone is enough for you to directly break through to the realm of peeping into the void."
Little Dugu looked at Ning Fan. Seeing Ning Fan nodding, he accepted the sword stone.
"It's very dangerous after passing through the deserted forest. Of course, the danger is for you. Follow me closely and you won't leave even half a step away!"
Beyond the wild forest, there are large tracts of ancient tombs.
The air was filled with eerie mist, and in the mist, the sound of bells could be heard in the distance.
An extremely dangerous feeling immediately appeared in Ning Fan's heart.
Little Dugu was wandering around. I didn't notice that this place was dangerous.
She quietly looked at the large tracts of barren graves and remained silent.
My heart feels slight pain again...
In his mind, scenes of flesh and blood flying around appeared inadvertently.
"pain..."
She held her head in one hand. Beiqi bit his lip, his eyes were full of pain, and he almost fell down.
Ning Fan ignored the strange sound of the bells and hurriedly supported little Dugu, pouring a steady stream of mana into her body.
"What's wrong!" Ning Fan's face was full of worry.
"It's nothing...just a little uncomfortable...I'm much better now." With Ning Fan's help, Xiao Dugu's face gradually improved.
And the sound of bells on all sides. It's getting closer.
In the gloomy mist, four giant ghosts with broken eight levels of cultivation were carrying a huge iron sedan covered with chains, walking towards them with murderous intent.
On the huge iron sedan, sat a green-faced and fanged ghost, wearing a red robe, with a level of cultivation at the level of a loose immortal, but his physical strength was comparable to that of a life immortal!
Gradually, the second, third, and fourth iron sedan appeared in the thick fog.
Four iron sedan chairs, sixteen giant ghosts with broken eight levels of cultivation, and four ghosts who became immortals in the flesh!
Ning Fan's eyes were shocked. Fortunately, the Eight Giant Ghosts could not be defeated by the four ghosts with immortal bodies!
The power of one punch from these four ghosts is comparable to a blow from the Immortal of Destiny!
Roar!
The iron sedan landed on the ground, and sixteen broken eight giant ghosts strode forward, the ground shaking with every step.
The four immortal ghosts had empty eyes. Two of them raised their fingers and pressed down. Two sword lights came out from their fingers and attacked directly towards Emperor Xia.
The other two people swayed and disappeared without a trace. The next moment, one on the left and one on the right, appeared on both sides of Ning Fan and Xiao Dugu, and their ghost claws directly grabbed Ning Fan and the two.
The force of a casual grasp is enough to easily tear apart the immortal!
"roll!"
Emperor Xia's eyes turned cold and he shouted out one word. His voice immediately turned into invisible sword light and slashed at 20 ghosts.
In just one moment, all 16 giant ghosts were cut into pieces.
The four demons with mortal bodies were directly killed by the sonic sword.
"The Art of Sword of Words!" Ning Fan's eyes were shocked, and he didn't expect that the art of Sword of Words actually existed.
It seems that Teng Xianrou is very interested in the art of speaking and swordsmanship. It would be a good thing to give this art to Teng Xianrou.
Look at the 20 ghosts that were instantly killed by Emperor Xia. Once they fell to the ground, they immediately turned into broken ancient swords. Their aura was dim and their sword power was scattered.
"These are sword ghosts. When the sword master dies, the sword spirit dies, and the sword spirit becomes a ghost, that is the sword ghost. When I was young, I almost died at the hands of the sword ghost here..."
After saying this, Emperor Xia took out a jade slip from his storage bag and gave it to Ning Fan.
Ning Fan took a look at the jade slip, and what was recorded on it was actually the method of practicing the art of speaking and swordsmanship.
"The power of the word sword is not strong, but it contains a trace of the great magical power of 'words follow the law'... The three realms of true immortals are crossing the truth, giving up space, and broken thoughts. The second realm of broken thoughts is the realm of words. , the state of thought... The words are followed by the Dharma, and the thought is generated. This is the key to breaking through the realm of broken thoughts... This technique is not strong. But it may help you realize the realm of the words and the Dharma as soon as possible. "
Emperor Xia finished speaking and moved forward again.
Ning Fan sighed softly. Along the way, Emperor Xia kept giving him opportunities. All I wanted was his help.
After putting away the jade slip, Ning Fan led Dugu and followed Emperor Xia, making up his mind to help Emperor Xia recover the remains of Meng Bingyun.
Every trap and formation was easily broken by Emperor Xia.
Each and every powerful sword ghost. Emperor Xia raised his finger and killed him.
He has been here many times, and since Meng Bingyun passed away, he has forced his way into the forbidden area again and again.
At first, his cultivation was not enough and he was not an enemy of Sword Demon. Every time he came, he came back defeated.
Later, he fully understood life and death and was able to fight against the Sword Demon, but was unable to enter the Sword Lake again.
Six million years have passed, and his strength has long been comparable to that of a true immortal.
He can easily kill some living and dead things here. But he couldn't enter the Sword Lake.
The lake seemed to be laughing at him. What was lost would never be regained.
"arrive..."
Across a high mountain, behind the high mountain is a flat lake. There is a circle of strange rocks around the pool, and an ancient sword is stuck on each of the strange rocks.
The lake water was rippling into the lake, seemingly ordinary, but Ning Fan sensed a hint of danger from the lake water.
Ning Fan's eyes flashed. Pick up a fallen leaf from the ground and throw it into the lake.
Fallen leaves fall into the lake, sink directly, and condense into ice...
"Can't even the fallen leaves float..." Ning Fan frowned.
With his little five-element body. It is not difficult to defend against the ice power of this lake.
But with his current level of cultivation, if he entered the lake, he would probably sink forever like a fallen leaf and never be able to surface again.
I'm afraid only the Immortal of Life can come and go freely in this lake.
Of course, any immortal has only one chance to enter the lake, the second time. If the law doesn't allow it, you will definitely die.
"This is the Sword Lake, also known as the Wenxin Sword Lake. It is said that the water in this lake can reflect the reflection of the past life... But the reflection can only be seen by yourself, not others."
After Xia Huang said this, Ning Fan and Xiao Dugu all approached the lakeside with curiosity and looked down at the reflection in the lake.
The reflection in the water of Ningfan Lake is a butterfly, but not one, but hundreds or thousands.
He has been reincarnated countless times, and he has been a butterfly in every life.
He exchanged his butterfly life for this human life.
"Can you see the past life..." Ning Fan turned his gaze and looked at Dugu.
But at this moment, Dugu looked at the reflection in the pool and couldn't stop crying.
What did she see? Ning Fan doesn't know, only Dugu himself knows.
"Don't cry...I'm here."
Ning Fan didn't know what Dugu saw, so he didn't ask. He just held Dugu's slightly trembling body tightly in his arms, trying to use his body temperature to warm her hesitant heart at the moment.
"Ning Xiaomo, in your previous life, you were a butterfly, right..." Xiao Dugu asked in a low voice.
"Um."
"So that's it... I gave up my sword and gave up the life-long killings in exchange for your reunion in this life. It's finally worth it..." She didn't say much, just saying words that Ning Fan couldn't understand.
Although he didn't understand much, Ning Fan's heart was touched for no reason.
He vaguely felt that he owed Dugu too much.
"What on earth did you see..." Ning Fan asked lovingly.
"Don't ask, never know..." Dugu raised a tear-stained smile.
Ning Fan wanted to use the whispering technique to see what Dugu had seen.
In his previous life, he owed Dugu, right...
He wanted to see clearly, but unfortunately, there was too strong a force in Dugu's body to protect her, making Ning Fan unable to see her thoughts clearly.
Don't ask, never know...
That's good...
Dugu stretched out his hand and carefully touched the outline of Ning Fan's face, feeling grateful and satisfied.
This was the first time she took the initiative to touch Ning Fan.
There seemed to be something extra in her eyes... it was attachment.
Ning Fan's heart ached when he didn't come, and he hugged Dugu tightly in his arms.
Damn, what on earth did this woman see...she could cry...
If she doesn't have an answer, she won't tell it for the rest of her life.
Maybe Ning Fan can only find this answer by himself, maybe he won't be able to find it in his lifetime.
"Cough cough cough..." Emperor Xia coughed awkwardly.
He is still here, and these two young couples are hugging each other. They are so forgetful.
Dugu Qiao's face turned red, and she wiped her tears on Ning Fan's lapel without any image. She gently pushed Ning Fan away and straightened her hair, "It's time for you to go help Senior Xia."
"What the lady said is true, but my husband has forgotten that there are other things to do."
Ning Fan made a joke and looked at Dugu Qingqing's angry expression, and his heart gradually calmed down.
That answer will naturally be known when he cultivates enough in the future.
The wonder of reincarnation encompasses all things, and one can have a glimpse of past and present lives.
"Senior, would you like to pass on the power of your soul to me right now?" Ning Fan asked.
With his cultivation level, it would be easy to enter the Sword Lake, but impossible to get out of the Sword Lake.
Only when Emperor Xia devoted all his efforts to help him temporarily acquire the cultivation of Life Immortal, could he have the confidence to go back and forth.
"Okay, I will take out the power of my soul and lend it to you temporarily. Come closer."
Emperor Xia raised his hand and pointed at Ning Fan's Tianling. He closed his eyes and transferred the power of the soul into Ning Fan's body one by one.
His aura was rapidly weakening. Although he was still a Sanxian, he was far less powerful than before.
And Ning Fan's aura is rising steadily, breaking the seven heavens, the eighth heaven, the ninth heaven, the peak... Life Immortal!
The Immortal of Destiny is divided into the mysterious realm of ghosts and ghosts.
Ning Fan's current state is that of a Life Immortal in the early stage of Human Xuan!
Feeling the vast magic power in his body, Ning Fan's eyes flashed, but he was not too shocked.
It is also very easy to control the surge of mana in the body without any discomfort.
He had temporarily possessed Immortal Emperor level magic power, so Life Immortal was naturally not worth mentioning.
"Oh? How can my little friend control the magic power of the Life Immortal level so easily?" Emperor Xia's face was as pale as paper, and his eyes were slightly shocked.
Ning Fan's ability was greater than he expected.
At this moment, Emperor Xia has lent all his spiritual power to Ning Fan. His body is very weak, and even the Broken Eight cultivators may not be able to win.
Ning Fan sighed, turned around and walked towards the sword lake. Just as he was about to jump in, Xiao Dugu grabbed his arm.
"Take me with you!"
"Listen to me, Jianhu Lake is very dangerous. If anything happens..."
Before Ning Fan could finish his words, he was interrupted by Dugu's decisive words.
"Trust me, I'll be fine, and I can still help you. Trust me."
Believe me, I can come and go freely in this Sword Lake, and I can protect you...
Believe me, believe me...
Ning Fan remained silent for a while, then hugged little Dugu and jumped into the sword lake.
He decided to believe her!
If she was really in danger, he would protect her even if he risked his life! (To be continued.)
