Once the Witch God surrenders, the task of saving the War King will naturally go smoothly.
Ning Fan also breathed a sigh of relief and put away the Shiqi and Emperor-Slaying Jade Slips. It's okay to be angry. It would be better if we don't use this jade slip. This is the second jade slip he has left, which can summon sixteen Immortal King puppets... This is also the second life-saving thing given to him by the Killing Emperor.
As for the third life-saving object...the jade slip that the Emperor of Killing came to in person, he had already collected it, and even to save the war king this time, he had no intention of using it.
Kill the Emperor…
If the adult Jiuli's soul blood can delay the destruction of Dao, it should also be useful for killing the emperor...
Ning Fan has a master-disciple relationship with Luan Gu, and he must repay any kindness he has shown to Emperor Sha. Although he is not as respectful as Luan Gu, he still values him quite a bit.
He seemed to see again the old man Fengzhu who risked everything to protect the descendants of Beidou, and recalled the promise he made to that old man in order to save people with the jade of immortality...
If Jiuli can really be promoted to adulthood...
As soon as this thought appeared, the feeling of the imminent calamity of She Kong suddenly appeared again...
The feeling of arrival is getting closer!
When others give up their emptiness, they all want to give up their obsessions, but he takes a completely different path, constantly carrying the baggage that others disdain. Among those baggage, there is kindness, affection, and righteousness. He has always been a Taoist. , the warmth I have experienced again and again...
Giving up obsession is a method of giving up emptiness recognized by heaven. Can it be regarded as yang?
Not giving up obsession is a path of practice that is not approved by heaven. Is it... just Yin...
Negative…
Along with Kijima and his party, Ning Fan had a completely different perception of Tao, which was elevated to a whole new level.
Look at the avenue from the perspective of yin and yang!
It turns out that practitioners have always stood on the negative side, standing in a position that is not recognized by heaven.
But, so what if God doesn't approve of it, it's enough for me to approve of this path... I want to give up my emptiness and carry my obsession with me. In the shadow of the world, stubborn and unrepentant, go on!
If everything can reach Yin...
thump! thump! thump!
It was the sound of Ning Fan's heart beating wildly!
At this moment, Ning Fan had a thought. It actually caused the calamity in Shekong's heart, which had been on the way to being eliminated, to be truly triggered for the first time!
The first mental calamity of Shekong...is coming!
"Why did the calamity happen at this time..." Ning Fan was speechless. He still wanted to save the War King, but the calamity of She Kongxin came just now. What should he do now?
Is this what mortals say? Planting flowers with intention but not blooming, but planting willows without intention to create shade?
Ning Fan didn't know that the reason why he was able to bring about the calamity of his heart was because he recognized the origin of cultivating the empty path of equanimity. This was just like an introduction. Ning Fan's coming to rescue King Zhan was an act of fulfilling his promise, but it turned out that It combines with the opportunity of the first heart calamity to come, so that the heart calamity can truly come down.
It's a coincidence. But it is also inevitable after completing the cause and effect of the King of War...
"This heart calamity can be suppressed a little longer... Let's save the War King first!"
Ning Fan took a deep breath, barely suppressed the pounding feeling in his heart, and once again set out to treat the War King.
This time the Witch God had surrendered, and the entire treatment process was no longer disturbed by external objects. It went very smoothly. Only half a day passed before the War King's treatment was completed.
The originally lifeless physical body of the War King was constantly regaining its vitality at this moment, and the aura of the entire Dao Marrow Secret Realm was flowing crazily towards the War King's physical body. An extremely strong momentum. Gradually appeared on the body of the War King!
The third calamity of eternity! That is a powerful momentum that only the Three Tribulations Immortal King can possess!
And the momentum continued to rise, and after a stick of incense passed by, it actually broke through the peak of the Three Tribulations. It has reached the level of the fourth calamity of eternity!
There was a breakthrough!
The King of War, who had been sleeping for 45 million years, unexpectedly broke through to the fourth calamity of all time the moment he woke up!
Ning Fan was slightly surprised, but soon understood the reason.
Loyal servant Luo Shi, as soon as the War King fell asleep, he specially arranged the secret realm of Tao Marrow. With the Tao marrow continuously produced, the War King's body is nourished. Over the long years, the War King has absorbed an unknown amount of Tao marrow. Although he has not yet awakened, his cultivation has improved. It is reasonable to break through the fourth calamity in all eternity. middle.
If it were just like this, it wouldn't be enough to surprise Ning Fan, but soon, Ning Fan was moved again, because the momentum of the War King was still rising after breaking through the four tribulations, all the way to the peak of the four tribulations, and then Breaking through the bottleneck of the Five Tribulations!
The Immortal King of the Fifth Tribulation of Eternity!
And the momentum kept rising, and finally... it reached the peak of the Immortal King, and then it stopped growing!
"Finally... woke up. Is it you who saved me?"
The War King's physical body suddenly stood upright, and he opened his eyes for the first time in 45 million years!
His gaze was wild and domineering, but also had the usual boldness of Dongtian monks, making him feel like a hero in the world. When he turned to Ning Fan, his eyes softened a lot and turned into a look of gratitude.
Although the War King was asleep, he could still sense a little bit about the outside world. He could vaguely remember that it was the young man in white who saved him, but he could not perceive the specific process clearly.
If Ning Fan can save himself, no matter whether Ning Fan is good or evil, he will be his benefactor, Rahu. As long as he does not violate his principles, he, Rahu, will owe Ning Fan a life!
"The junior was not the only one who saved the senior, but also senior Luo Shi, and several other fellow Taoists. Even the Luo family monks also contributed a lot..." Ning Fan answered truthfully.
"Little friend, there is no need to be modest. Although I am asleep and don't know the details, you are the one who surrendered to my witch god. This is correct, right?" Luo Hu slowly landed in the center of the altar and looked at the witch god who stood respectfully aside with deep meaning. .
He was slightly aware of the external affairs. The reason why he was rescued was that Ning Fan was the one who contributed the most. This was unmistakable.
Others naturally have to be grateful, but Ning Fan definitely deserves the first credit, and this is undisputed.
Luo Hu is a very straightforward person and doesn't like nonsense. He has written down the kindness of Ning Fan to survive, and he will repay it one day!
Ning Fan nodded. He did surrender to the Witch God. He didn't have to deny this.
"Luo Hu, you finally woke up..." The Witch God looked at the Witch God complicatedly and sighed.
If Luo Hu doesn't wake up, at the moment when he is on the verge of death, the Witch God can swallow Luo Hu and resurrect him instead. This is something that Luo Shi and others don't know.
Without Ning Fan's intervention, the War King would be swallowed by the Witch God at the weakest moment of his life in the near future... Unfortunately, Ning Fan intervened in the matter, and the Witch God could not swallow Luo Hu. He could only be controlled by Rahu once again.
"You are my Witch God, assimilate with me. I have been sleeping for a long time, but I have also accumulated for a long time. If I assimilate with you, I have the confidence to break through the Immortal Emperor Realm in a very short time! I am you, and you are me, Why do we have to separate from each other? Come back, join me and dominate the east sky!" Luo Hu said again.
"...Okay, I promise to merge with you! From today on, there is no war king, no witch god, only the war witch Rahu!"
The Witch God sighed. He had already been defeated by Ning Fan and had agreed to Ning Fan's surrender. At this moment, he would no longer reject Luo Hu's proposal.
The witch god walked towards Rahu step by step. Luo Hu also strode towards the Witch God. The moment the two collided, they merged into one in a burst of dazzling light... Fighting against the Witch God, Luo Hu completely woke up!
He still looks like a black-faced man, and is still dominated by Luo Hu, but his cultivation level has skyrocketed again at this moment!
When the cultivation levels of the two peak immortal kings were superimposed, they immediately gained the aura of a quasi-emperor. Quasi-Emperor. That is, as long as you survive the ninety-five tribulations and complete the soul-melting of the emperor's energy, you can truly become an immortal emperor! The amount of mana is almost the same as that of the Six Tribulations Immortal Emperor. The only difference is just a golden soul that is fused with imperial energy!
"The War King has actually half-stepped into the realm of Immortal Emperor and is on the verge of becoming an Emperor!" Ning Fan was greatly moved.
The comatose and dying War King has greatly improved his cultivation as soon as he wakes up, and is on the verge of becoming an emperor... If this comes out, Dongtian will probably be shocked again.
"...Forty-five million years have passed since I slept. A lot of catastrophes, big and small, have been accumulated over the years. Of course, there are also the ninety-five catastrophes of breaking through the imperial realm, but the matter of becoming an emperor has not been fully prepared. These ninety-five catastrophes have not been fully prepared. The Five Calamities can only be put aside for the time being. The benefits of sleeping this time are not small. Now it seems that I owe Sen Luo a huge cause and effect. Back then, he must have seen that my witch god practice was on the wrong path, so It was only then that while breaking up my cultivation, they sealed my catastrophes at great cost, so that I could sleep peacefully for tens of millions of years. Otherwise, Luo Shi and the others alone would not be able to stop these calamities. It is stronger than a natural disaster. And without this deep sleep, the level of synchronization between me and the Witch God would not be as high as it is today... Sen Luo, Sen Luo, what kind of person are you? It was you who brought the disaster, but now it is you who help me have the chance to become emperor..."
Luo Hu sighed.
If he can wake up, the person he is most grateful to is Ning Fan, and if he is expected to break through to the Immortal Emperor, the person he is most grateful to is Sen Luo.
Sen Luo, Sen Luo...huh? Sen Luo, is he already dead?
Once your cultivation reaches the quasi-emperor realm, many things that concern you can be sensed to a certain extent. Sen Luo is actually dead...
It seems that this kindness cannot be repaid.
No, it's not that he can't repay... Luo Hu suddenly realized.
Back then, Sen Luo insisted on going his own way, provoking the Dark Tribe and making enemies of the world for the sake of a woman, and even harmed his mentor and Shenxu Pavilion. Sen Luo must have felt guilty in his heart. This guilt seemed to be returned to him, Luo Hu.
Sen Luo helped him become emperor because he wanted to add a peerless immortal emperor to Shenxu Pavilion to make up for the regret that he could not protect Shenxu Pavilion for his master.
Luo Hu owes Sen Luo a huge debt of karma. If he wants to repay it, the best way is to replace Sen Luo and become the guardian of Xu Pavilion in this life...
"So that's it. It turns out that when you broke up my cultivation, you had calculated this. After all, it was you who helped me become emperor. If the guardian of God Xuge is your last wish, then this last wish... I, Rahu, will bear it for you. Down!"
In this way, he and Sen Luo are connected by cause and effect, and neither owes anything to the other.
As for Ning Fan...
"Little friend, Luo should be very grateful to you for saving Luo's life, but at this moment, there is still a catastrophe to be overcome, so it is inconvenient to talk to you more. Can you wait for a moment, and then we can talk in detail after I have overcome the tribulation! "Luo Hu slightly cupped his fists at Ning Fan and said seriously.
"Senior, please help yourself. This junior also has some urgent matters at hand and must retreat immediately." Ning Fan was naturally referring to the suffering of She Kongxin.
He has been suppressing this heart tribulation for half a day. At this moment, his heart is beating wildly and it is difficult to suppress it. It has reached the limit and can no longer be suppressed. He must immediately retreat to survive the tribulation.
If not, he would be very willing to see how Luo Hu survived the great and small tribulations. Judging from Luo Hu's tone, those are the major and minor catastrophes that have been accumulated for 45 million years. According to the ancient monks, there is a small catastrophe every nine hundred years and a major catastrophe every nine thousand years...
Luo Hu has to survive at least 50,000 minor tribulations and 5,000 major tribulations!
It should be noted that the power of the monks' major and minor catastrophes will become stronger every time... Ning Fan really wants to see how Luo Hu will survive so many catastrophes in the future. It must be an extremely spectacular scene.
Unfortunately, he is also very busy.
As a result, Ning Fan temporarily left the Taoist Secret Realm and returned to the outside world. The war king Luo Hu stayed in the secret realm of Tao Marrow to survive the tribulation.
As soon as he returned to the outside world, Luo Shi and others immediately gathered around him and asked about the progress of the matter.
Lu Wen, Wu Laoba, and Yun Lei, who were seriously injured, could only suppress their injuries slightly. He is still waiting for news about Ning Fan outside the secret realm, naturally because he is concerned about the progress of this matter.
Ning Fan did not elaborate on the process of surrendering the Witch God, but only said that he successfully revived the King of War. Now the King of War is undergoing a catastrophe in a secret realm, having accumulated tens of millions of years of catastrophe. The power is extraordinary, and Luo Shi and others are advised not to enter the secret realm to observe the tribulation, lest they be affected by the tribulation.
After that, Ning Fan became a hands-off shopkeeper and escaped into the Xuanyin world for seclusion.
His promise with the Luo family has been fulfilled, the King of War has been rescued, and the rest of the matter will be handled by the Luo family.
When Luo Hu woke up, he was overcoming the catastrophe that had accumulated for tens of millions of years. Of course Luo Shi and other monks who have not entered the eternal realm dare not enter the secret realm to observe the tribulation.
Lu Wen, Wu Laoba, and Yun Lei's eyes lit up, and without too much hesitation, they joined forces and entered the secret realm to watch the War King overcome the tribulation.
It is a rare opportunity to watch an Immortal King who has accumulated tens of millions of years of tribulations go through tribulations. Who knows, but the three of them can gain their own insights from it? Compared with gaining enlightenment, the matter of retreat and healing can be temporarily postponed until the war king's tribulation is completed. It’s not too late to retreat to heal.
Wu Laoba, a loyal servant, took out a very high-grade video jade slip and prepared to tell the details of the war king's tribulation. Record it and show it to Ning Fan.
The master has something urgent to do and has lost the opportunity to observe the disaster. As the most loyal servant in the world, he naturally has to do something for his master...
If you want to record the process of the dignified Immortal King's tribulation, you need a recording jade slip, which is of an extraordinary grade. This jade slip requires at least 100 billion Tao crystals to buy in Dongtian.
Seeing that Wu Laoba spent so much money just to let his master watch the video of the Immortal King's tribulation, Yun Lei and others were filled with emotion and gave Wu Laoba a very unfair evaluation.
Wu Laoba, your loyal servant! This person's loyalty can be seen by the sun and the moon, and he has the legacy of ancient justice!
If Ning Fan heard this comment from Wu Laoba, he would be speechless. If Luo Shi is said to be a loyal servant, he agrees. If Wu Laoba is said to be a loyal servant, he can only laugh...
…
It's a pity that Ning Fan is destined not to hear this comment.
As soon as he entered the Western Realm of Xuanyin, Ning Fan released the suppression of Shekong's Heart Tribulation. At the moment when he liberated his Heart Tribulation, the phantoms of its four real bridges immediately appeared in the sky.
Below the four real bridges is the gurgling river. In the river, there is a very blurry reflection below the first real imaginary bridge.
Ning Fan swayed and appeared on the First Illusion Bridge, holding on to the railing and looking at the blurry reflection in the river.
As the calamity in his heart continued to deepen, those reflections gradually became clearer, and they turned out to be the scene where Ning Fan had answered people's promises again and again since he started practicing Taoism.
"Elder Ruoning promised to fight for the Hu family three times... I am willing to spend my life's cultivation at the cost of not entering reincarnation, condense a cultivation elixir, and give it to the elder! I was planning to leave this thing to Hu Ming... .But it seems that after all, he is too young to take on a big responsibility..."
"Xiu Dan! You have done too much for the family..."
"I have no regrets! Elder Ning, just say, do you agree or not?"
"That's all. If I can cultivate the elixir, I, Ning Fan, promise that I will fight for the Hu family three times in my lifetime!"
The promise in this scene was Ning Fan's promise to protect the Hu family in the Yue Kingdom when he was in spiritual cultivation. Later, he did exactly this.
The Hu family, Hu Fengzi, was such a long memory. If he hadn't seen the past in this reflection, Ning Fan would have almost forgotten the Hu family, a small force as small as a grain of rice.
But the only thing I can't forget is Hu Fengzi. In order to protect his family, I can't forget that this man was willing to disappear into ashes and not enter the reincarnation. He turned into a repair pill and exchanged Ning Fan's actions three times to protect the Hu family.
That was the first time Ning Fan encountered such a person in his early days of practicing Taoism. He was willing to be wiped out in order to protect others.
Is it worth it...
Back then, Ning Fan had asked himself that question, and the answer he came up with was, so what if it was worth it, and so what if it wasn't worth it.
The world has long forgotten Hu Fengzi, even the tribesmen he desperately protected. Time has passed, and in today's Yujie and today's Yue Kingdom, no one may remember that there was once an insignificant monk who, in order to protect The family made a dramatic decision.
It can be called heroic!
Rain comes from the sky and falls to the ground. It nourishes vegetation and nourishes living beings... The reason why it is called rain is not water or river. It's not the lake or the sea, because...it has its own way.
It nourishes the grass and trees, and it is not a reward from the grass and trees. There is no value or unworthiness, it is just the way. So he did it.
Just because the Tao is like this, there is no turning back!
Ning Fan looked at the reflection in the river and Hu Fengzi in the reflection, seeming to have a clear understanding.
The four realms of Shekong, the four real bridges, the reflections under the square bridges...I'm afraid that every time I suffer a mental tribulation, I will see part of the reflection in the river clearly.
The monk Duzhen builds the bridge over the river, and the monk Shekong builds the shadow under the bridge. The so-called shadow. It’s obsession, it’s vanity, it’s something that God doesn’t approve of.
Hu Fengzi's Tao once moved Ning Fan, so that the Tao practiced by Ning Fan invisibly carried some shadows of Hu Fengzi.
Let go of emptiness, let go of emptiness, it is precisely to let go of these irrelevant shadows that you can make a breakthrough...
The first step is to see the reflection in the true phantom river. The second step is to give it up...but that is the path that ordinary monks take, not Ning Fan's path.
Ning Fan has already gained some understanding of his own path to emptiness. His way is different from others. His way requires persistence, perseverance and perseverance!
He didn't say much. Continuing to look at the reflection in the river, more reflections appeared under the first bridge.
The reflection in the second scene is the past of Ning Fan running rampant among the nine tribes of the Lu clan.
That year, he promised Luo Yun to seal the demon Lu Daochen and bury his master Lu Wu. Then he did this with the prestige of Luo Yun Lu Bei.
Ning Fan still can't forget the old man's hunched back watching the portrait of his master, lonely but without regrets.
Luo Yun sealed the demon Lu Daochen and worked hard all his life just to accomplish one thing, which was to bury his master Lu Wu. Just to fulfill this wish, I will give everything and have no regrets.
It can be called a model of cultivation!
"The reflections I saw during this first calamity seemed to be related to promises..." Ning Fan pondered slightly.
The timing of his heart calamity this time is the time to fulfill the promise of the Luo family and remember the promise of the Slaughter Hall. Could it be that his first heart calamity of Shekong must be based on the word 'promise'...
In the river, a third scene of reflection appeared, which was his promise to kill the emperor, protect Beidou's descendants, and protect the Killing Palace.
The reflection in the fourth scene is about the Ying Noro family.
There are many more reflections, and all of them are promises to others, ranging from promising others a pill or medicine to promising others to sacrifice their lives. In Ning Fan's life, most of the promises he made have been completed, but there are also many promises that are still in progress and cannot be fulfilled temporarily due to factors such as his cultivation level.
However, every promise actually emerged in the water, becoming the reflection of the First True Bridge, and also became the obsession in Ning Fan's heart.
Ning Fan looked at the river under the real bridge. Gradually, he heard the sound of the vast avenue from the endless river. The sound was very vague. It turned out to be the monk Shekong who must have heard the sound when he was going through the tribulation of his heart. Kongtianyin!
"Look back, look back, look back...Come and follow my path to the infinite crossing, the four illusions and four annihilations, step into the sky, leave the ground and the Yiyan Sect..."
In the river, there was suddenly a fire that shot up into the sky. The fire turned into a withered palm. The dry hand seemed to be about to decay at any time, but it gave Ning Fan a thrilling feeling, as if he could hold all the ways in the world in his palm. , can ban time, space and years!
That withered palm does not seem to exist in reality, but exists in the reflection in the river, and it came into being with the appearance of the reflection!
The reason why that withered palm appeared was not for anything but to wipe out Ning Fan's shadow reflected in the river!
If this shadow is erased, Ning Fan will be able to achieve the Tao of emptiness and enter the early stage of emptiness. However, if the mind of understanding the Tao is damaged, it will be difficult to achieve the Tao!
Just because if you are an ordinary monk, giving up your obsession is not a big deal, but Ning Fan is different. He is not an ordinary monk. His Tao cannot be given up lightly, especially giving up the promises that are related to the heart of the Tao.
Ning Fan had a thrilling illusion. If he let this withered palm erase the reflection in the river, his Taoist heart would change. From then on, his temperament would change drastically, and he would no longer be a man of promises!
What kind of withered palm is this? It has such a terrifying power of annihilation and can change the human heart!
Ning Fan has read through many Mu Dao classics, many of which record the Shekong Heart Tribulation. However, after looking through Mu Dao classics, Ning Fan has not found any record of the appearance of withered palms. Other monks who want to break through Shekong also need to hear the Heavenly Sound of Shekong, but the contents of the Heavenly Sound are mostly concise and easy-to-understand words, which directly point out the flaws in the monk's way and make up for them. There is never any Shekong Heavenly Sound, such as Ning Fan's words are so obscure and difficult to understand.
Not to mention that when someone is going through a mental tribulation, a flaming withered palm will appear and try to obliterate the reflection!
In an instant, Ning Fan realized that this obscure and incomprehensible Shekong Tianyin, as well as this extremely dangerous withered palm that could tamper with the monk's Taoist heart, were most likely the exclusive 'benefits' for cultivators... dangerous benefits!
We must not let this withered palm erase the shadow in the river!
Ning Fan's expression changed drastically. Without any hesitation, he opened the shadow of the God-Destroying Giant, slammed into the river, and rushed directly towards the withered palm!
He does not allow anyone to tamper with his Taoist mind, and he does not need others to set the path for him to break through Sekong. His path is not to give up, and there is no need to erase his reflection in the river. This palm has ulterior motives. It wants to destroy his reflection and destroy his Taoist heart. Don't even think about it!
Bang!
There was a loud noise, but it was the collision of the God-Destroying Giant, and it collided with the withered palm in the reflection...
"Look back, look back, look back...Come and follow my path to the infinite crossing, the four illusions and four annihilations, step into the sky, leave the ground and the Yiyan Sect..."
The withered palm was hit by the God-Destroying Giant, but there was no damage at all. However, the golden flame body of the God-Destroying Giant... was actually slapped with a withered palm, causing a dent, and the golden flames tended to be extinguished. Ning Fan, who was hiding in the body of the God-Destroying Giant, coughed up a mouthful of blood and was hit hard by the withered palm from across the God-Destroying Giant. His insides were on fire!
The power of that withered palm is so terrifying that not even the Aegis-Destroying Shield can completely defend against the huge power of the palm!
After the confrontation with this withered palm, Ning Fan was finally convinced of the origin of this withered palm... Sure enough, there was the will of heaven in this withered palm. It was a withered palm sent down from heaven. He wanted to destroy Ning Fan's reflection in the river, but Ning Fan was not allowed to do so. Fan, take the road of giving up without giving up!
Turn back, turn back, turn back...
If you don't look back, I, the heaven, will force you to look back!
If Heaven is destroyed and you practice cultivation, this path will be blocked! (To be continued.)
