Ning Fan quietly left Liangyi Star and went to find multiple soul-sealing techniques.
He imagined dozens of possible situations, but he never expected that the secret technique he wanted would be in such a place.
Gu Yu Xing Hai, Ghost Bird Sect!
The Ancient Rain Star Sea is one of the many star seas in the northern sky. It is a wonder to have a sea in the starry sky. What is even more strange is that this sea has never stopped raining since ancient times. Many water practitioners love to come here. Sea of Stars, comprehend the way of rain.
Above the Ancient Rain Star Sea, there is another sect, which was established by the powerful Bird God Son of the North.
Que Shenzi is a great legend in the North. This man only became a spirit at the age of sixty. At first, his brothers thought he was a loser. But then, the Bird God Son formed an elixir at the age of seventy, gave birth to a baby at the age of eighty, became an immortal at the age of two thousand, went to the real world for another two thousand years, and gave up the void for another four thousand years, less than 10,000 years before and after, he can be called a generation of wizards.
Rumor has it that Que Shenzi's path to spiritual cultivation was smooth sailing. The only setback was when he violated the laws of the Four Seas Sect before he gave up his life, and was demoted to the nine lower realms by the Four Seas Sect.
At that time, the Siming Sect punished the Bird God Son. Unless he broke through the void period in the lower realm, he would never be able to return to the upper realm.
However, this is the most outrageous thing about Que Shenzi!
As we all know, the cultivation resources in the nine realms of the lower realm are poor. It is difficult to cultivate to a loose immortal in the lower realm, let alone to cultivate to Shekong. This is simply impossible!
The Siming Sect set the requirement of "no return to the upper realm without breaking thoughts". The original intention was not to let the Bird God Son return to the upper realm.
But in the end, no one expected that Que Shenzi would break through the Shekong Realm in the Rain Realm! Forcibly obtained the opportunity to return to Beitian!
When the Bird God Son returned to Beitian as the Great Power of Shekong, the whole Beitian was shocked, and the Siming Sect became silent! Si Ming Sect knew that they had made a mistake! A person who can cultivate to the realm of Shekong in the lower realm, as long as his luck in this life is not too bad, can at least cultivate to the realm of the Immortal Emperor in the upper realm, and he will definitely be an extremely powerful Immortal Emperor in the future!
All of a sudden, the incident about Que Shen Zi caused a sensation in the entire north of the sky. Even the Immortal Kings and Emperors did not dare to underestimate Que Shen Zi.
Everyone knows that when Que Shenzi returns to the north this time, he will definitely soar into the sky and rise strongly!
as expected!
Thousands of years later, Que Shenzi broke through the middle stage of Shekong!
After another thousand years, Que Shenzi broke through to the late stage of Shekong!
In another thousand years, Que Shenzi has reached the peak of Shekong's cultivation!
The circle of true immortals in Beitian are all speculating on how many years it will take for Que Shenzi to break through Suinian and then march into eternity.
However, something happened that left everyone speechless.
In order to understand the bottleneck of broken thoughts, Que Shenzi went to the wilderness. After returning, his cultivation stopped at the peak of Shekong forever, and he never made any progress.
One level of cultivation has been stuck for five million years!
Will a person who can break through Shekong in the lower realm be stuck in the bottleneck of broken thoughts for five million years? This is too unbelievable.
Some old monsters who know something about the wilderness secretly guessed that something happened to the Bird God Son in the wilderness and damaged his foundation, right? If this is the case, there is an explanation for the difficulty in making progress in cultivation.
It's not that there is no eternal ancient monster who proposed to repair the foundation of the Bird God Son for the purpose of making friends with the Bird God Son.
But the strange thing is that Que Shenzi actually flatly rejected the kindness of all the eternal monsters and ruined the face of others. In the end, no one was willing to help Que Shenzi anymore.
Later, as the years passed ruthlessly, the prodigy Que Shenzi who once shocked the entire Beitian finally became a laughing stock in Beitian.
Many old monsters from Beitian who were also stuck in the bottleneck of Sui Nian saw that Sui Nian was hopeless in this life, so they often ridiculed the Que Shen Zi for fun in order to find their inner balance: Look, Que Shen Zi has such an incredible talent, so it is not impossible to break through Sui Nian. ? It's normal that we can't break through.
No one knows that the reason why Bird God Son has been stuck in the bottleneck of broken thoughts for five million years is because he was kidnapped and died while traveling in the wilderness, so all his talents were wasted.
Five million years later, the Bird God Son was no longer himself, but the person who took over the body borrowed the Bird God Son's body and moved around in the north...
Others didn't know what happened to the Bird God Son, but Ning Fan knew that he was the one who gave the Bird God Son a relief and killed the villains who took the Bird God Son away.
The only thing Ning Fan didn't expect was that the thing he was looking for this time was actually in the hometown of Que Shenzi, in this ancient rain star sea.
Right here, the Ghost Bird Sect in Beitian.
The Ghost Bird Sect in the Rain Realm is a small sect established when the Bird God Son was demoted to the lower realm. It is a branch of the lower realm.
The Ghost Bird Sect in Beitian is the true home of the Bird God Son and the main sect of the upper world.
Ning Fan couldn't describe how he felt at the moment.
There are many Beitian monks who come to Guyu Xinghai to build a cave and learn about Yuluo. These people usually stay in groups of twos and threes. When chatting, they will occasionally talk about Beitian's laughing stock - Que Shenzi.
"I heard that during the great catastrophe in the wilderness, the life tablet of the Bird God was also shattered. It seems that he died in that catastrophe. What a pity..."
"What a pity. Anyway, even if he doesn't die, he will only be stuck in the bottleneck of broken thoughts in this life, and he will not be able to survive forever."
"The dispute between the three palaces of the Palace of Relics has arisen again. This time the sects are fighting. The Ghost Bird Sect has no support from the Bird God, and only a female doll who is in the early stage of Duzhen is left in charge of the sect. I am afraid that she will not be able to keep her ranking in the second round that year... "
"Hey, life is impermanent. No matter how talented you are, you may become a pile of loess in the end. No matter how high your qualifications are, what's the use? It's better to enjoy yourself in the moment. Even if you die in the future, your life will not be in vain."
"What Brother Tao said is true!"
…
In those people's chats, Ning Fan heard about most of Que Shenzi's past deeds, and how he turned from a genius to a laughing stock.
No one knew that Bird Godzi lost his chance to become the Immortal Emperor because he was taken away from him.
No one knows that after the Bird God Son was taken away, he only wanted to die...
Ning Fan took out an urn from the storage bag and remained silent.
These were the ashes of Que Shenzi that he collected after he was freed from him. He had promised to send the ashes of Que Shenzi home, so now he would just do it on the way.
It's just the rain on this sea...
The feeling of rain is so familiar...
Ning Fan raised his head to look at the rain. The rain here was filled with the rainy meaning left behind by the Que Shenzi's insights. It was very similar to the rain in the Ghost Tomb of the Rain Realm's Ghost Que Sect, very similar...
But there is something different after all. The rain on this sea, in addition to Que Shenzi's usual perception of rain, also contains the sadness that cannot be erased from Que Shenzi's heart.
The rain here is very sad.
It contains the sorrow of the bird god who was unfortunately taken away from his body.
It also contains a trace of reluctance.
It seems that there is someone in this sea, someone that Que Shenzi cannot let go of even if he dies...
"Senior, I will take you home..."
Ning Fan stroked the urn and smiled.
He had sensed the rainy intention of the Bird God Son, and owed the Bird God Son a favor in preaching, so he came here today to return the favor.
The monks are at home all over the world, which can also be said to be homeless. After death, he can be buried in his hometown. If the Bird God Son knows someone underground, he may also be able to rest in peace.
…
The Ghost Bird Sect still has 120,000 god-transforming monks, six Mingxian, and one Duzhen.
The only Duzhen cultivator is Que Jiuniang, the leader of the Guique Sect in the early stage of Duzhen.
Que Jiuniang is the daughter of Que Shenzi. She is the bloodline left by Que Shenzi before he was demoted to the lower world.
At that time, Que Shenzi was a true immortal after all. As a true immortal, it was difficult to give birth to children, but Que Shenzi always had a way to do things that ordinary people could not imagine. He seemed to be angry with the Si Ming Sect: Aren't you going to demote me to the lower realm? Okay, I can go to the lower realm to play, but I want to leave a bloodline in the upper realm to help me guard the sect!
So Que Shenzi really left a daughter in the upper world and handed it over to the care of his subordinates before heading to the rain world.
In the main hall of the sect leader, Que Jiuniang held her hands on the window and looked at the waves outside the window and the year-round rain on the sea. Her beautiful face was full of bitterness.
Although she looks about seventeen or eighteen years old, she has long passed the sentimental girlhood and is already an old monster with a bone age of five million.
In the early days of her true journey, it was logically difficult for her to live for such a long time. Fortunately, she had many secret medicines for extending life and secret treasures to ward off heavenly tribulations left by her father, so she managed to survive until now.
But she was still emotionally touched by the rain outside the window.
Because the rain on this sea has the feeling of rain left by my father.
But why, the rain left behind by dad is so sad...
"As soon as I was born, my father was relegated to the lower realm, so I never saw him in my entire childhood. When my father returned to Beitian, I was already a two thousand year old monk who no longer knew how to act like a little girl. , and fell into daddy's arms..."
"After dad came back from the Rain Realm, he has been in seclusion and practicing hard. He said that he would reach the top of the second step as soon as possible and shut up all the people who underestimated him at the beginning. He was too busy and had no time. He cares about me and doesn’t have much time to give me guidance on my cultivation... The occasional guidance is because I am too stupid to learn too much from it, so my cultivation speed has been slow..."
"Dad at that time cared very little about me, but I knew he had me in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have stormed into the Siming Sect headquarters in anger and demanded justice from the ancient Emperor Tongtian just because someone bullied me. …”
"But since dad came back from a trip to the wilderness, everything has changed... He no longer cares about the sect, the disciples, and me... He seems to be completely living in his own world, always traveling around. , forever missing...and in the end, he died in the wilderness..."
"Since dad first came back from the wilderness, the rain in this sea has been tinged with sadness. I know that dad didn't mean to ignore me. Something must have happened to dad, otherwise his rain will , not with unspeakable sorrow..."
"Dad, do you know? Without you, it would be really difficult for Xiaojiu to support the Ghost Bird Sect alone..."
Que Jiuniang was talking to herself, as if she was talking to the wind outside the window, the rain on the sea, or her father who would never come back.
Suddenly there was a gust of rain, followed by the wind outside the window, blowing on Que Jiuniang's face, making her feel cool and refreshing.
"The wind is blowing again..."
Que Jiuniang sighed, closed the window, and turned around.
Then I was shocked!
Behind her, a young man in white stood unexpectedly!
"Senior, who is he? Why did he break into the main hall of the Ghost Que Sect without permission!" Although Que Jiuniang's qualifications are not sensitive, she is not an idiot either. Since the other party can ignore the restrictions of the sect master's palace and break in directly, at least he has the cultivation level of Shekong. She cannot win, nor can the Ghost Bird Sect, which has lost the Bird God Son, offend him.
"Is your name Xiaojiu? Don't be afraid, Xiaojiu. I am your father's old friend. I came here today to send something and pick up another thing." Ning Fan had heard this woman claim to be Xiaojiu before. I thought this girl was called Xiaojiu, so I called her that.
"I, my name is not Xiaojiu...my name is..." Que Jiuniang wanted to explain her name, but then she thought, if the other person is really my father's old friend, then he can be considered an elder. The elder is called the junior Xiaojiu. , there seems to be nothing wrong with it.
"Forget it, it's okay for senior to call me Xiaojiu... Is senior really an old friend of my father's? I wonder what I call senior?" Que Jiuniang asked curiously.
My father was withdrawn and proud, and rarely made friends. When he returned from the wilderness, he never made friends with anyone.
So she was really surprised when Ning Fan claimed to be Que Shenzi's old friend, but she didn't doubt that Ning Fan was lying.
In today's Ghost Bird Sect, what is the value of letting a senior who is above Shekong lie against the Taoist conscience?
"My surname is Ning. It's okay if you call me Senior Ning." Ning Fan said with a smile.
"Your surname is Ning? Sure enough, I've never heard of it..."
"I have received favors from your father for many years, but the first time I actually met him was during the wilderness catastrophe... You haven't heard of me, it's not surprising."
"What? My senior and my father met during the Great Tribulation of the Wilderness!" Que Jiuniang felt pain in her heart and her eyes were red.
She vaguely guessed what Ning Fan was going to give when he came to the Ghost Bird Sect. It was probably his father's relic...
"Senior is here to give away my father's relics..."
"Yes, and no... I'm here to deliver your father's ashes..."
"What! Ashes!"
Looking at the urn that Ning Fan took out from the storage bag and feeling the unique scent of her father in the urn, Que Jiuniang's tears finally fell.
She took the urn, feeling sad and complicated inside. Due to emotions and reasons, Que Shenzi was lucky to be able to return to his hometown after his death, but Que Jiuniang was not happy. Even if her father's life card was broken, she always had a sense of luck, hoping that it would be a misjudgment of heaven. After all, although there were not many cases of accidentally breaking the life card in the world of cultivation, it was not unheard of.
But when she saw the ashes, Que Jiuniang knew that she had to face this reality.
Dad is really gone and will never come back...
"Senior Ning, your great kindness will never be forgotten by this junior! By the way, Senior Ning just said that he wanted to take something from my Ghost Bird Sect? Senior has a great kindness to this junior, this thing from the Ghost Bird Sect , whatever the senior likes, just take it, the junior will never say anything." Que Jiuniang wiped her tears and said gratefully.
"No, you are wrong. Me sending your father back and me wanting to take something are two different things. I sent your father back out of repayment and voluntarily; taking something away is a last resort. And for that, of course, if you take this thing away, I will give you some compensation in addition."
"Senior, this junior does not need compensation. You are a great favor to this junior..." Que Jiuniang stubbornly refused.
"Okay! It's a gift from the elders. Don't dare to refuse. If I want to give you something, just accept it." Ning Fan patted Que Jiuniang's head angrily, just like patting a child.
However, in reality, compared to Que Jiuniang, who has a bone age of five million years, Ning Fan is just a child.
However, in the world of cultivation, seniority has always been determined by strength. Now, even if Ning Fan meets old monster Suinian, he is still qualified to be his senior. Que Jiuniang does not suffer any disadvantage by calling him senior Ning Fan.
But Que Jiuniang still blushed.
She has never been touched so intimately by any man. Even her father has never patted her on the head because he is always busy and has no time to pay attention to her...
Ning Fan's patting on the head towards the younger generation actually made her feel a hint of...the care she had longed for from her elders.
"Senior Ning, ah no, Uncle Ning, what do you want from the Ghost Que Sect, I will take you to get it..." Que Jiuniang was happy in her heart, and she felt a little close to Ning Fan, and her uncle even called her.
Ning Fan was a little speechless. He had lived for so long and it seemed that he had never been called uncle... Forget it. I was called brother by Chunyang before. Let uncle be uncle. It's just a title. What's the big deal.
"I want a secret book."
"Oh, then I will take Uncle Ning to our ancestral sutra collection pavilion." Que Jiuniang said respectfully.
Therefore, in the shocked eyes of the disciples of the Ghost Que Sect, Que Jiuniang, who had never been close to men, actually brought a strange young man into the forbidden Ksitigarbha Scripture Pavilion within the sect!
Countless people are speculating about Ning Fan's identity. Is he the sect master's little sweetheart?
However, because Ning Fan asked Que Jiuniang not to reveal his identity, Que Jiuniang did not tell anyone who Ning Fan was. If anyone asked this question, she would glance at him with a sharp look, scaring the disciples in the sect so much that they did not dare to say anything.
"This must be the sect master's little love..." Those disciples became more and more convinced of this matter.
In the Scripture Collection Pavilion, Que Jiuniang dismissed the monks guarding the pavilion, and then took Ning Fan to select the classics here.
She originally thought that Ning Fan came here to choose some profound classics, but to her surprise, Ning Fan actually chose a useless book.
Multiple soul-sealing techniques!
This is an extremely superficial magical power book. No one, including Que Shenzi, has ever mastered this magical power.
Because the record of multiple soul-sealing techniques is too simple, only a dozen or so sentences!
Practitioners can only know brief information about multiple soul sealing techniques:
Cultivation requirements: Have three or more bloodlines.
Cultivation steps: Divide blood into three parts, seal two and keep one.
Regarding how to divide blood into three parts and seal two to preserve one, there are simple sealing techniques recorded in the classics, but there are no other records.
The sealing technique doesn't look very clever. Even a god-transforming monk can learn it after looking at it for a few times. But when it is actually used, the sealing technique seems to have no use.
What is even more troublesome is that although this multiple soul-sealing technique specifies that more than three bloodlines are required to practice it, it does not say what kind of bloodline is required, let alone what kind of training effect it will have after it is completed.
When he obtained this classic, Que Shenzi could vaguely see how extraordinary this classic was, but who knew that this classic contained too little information? No matter how enlightened Que Shenzi is, he still doesn't know where to start practicing this technique. He is also concerned that this technique is too incomplete and there may be hidden dangers in practicing it rashly, so he finally gave up on practicing this technique.
What even the Bird God Son cannot cultivate, ordinary Ghost Bird Sect disciples are even more unable to cultivate.
As a result, the multiple soul-sealing techniques that no one could master became a useless book, thrown in a corner and no one cared about it.
Que Jiuniang never thought that Ning Fan would ask for such a book, and worriedly said, "Uncle Ning had better not practice this book carelessly. Dad said that this book is incomplete, and I don't know what the effect will be after it is completed. Too many unknowns mean too many hidden dangers. If something happens to Uncle Ning because of practicing this book, Xiao Jiu will feel guilty for the rest of his life."
"Haha, don't worry Xiaojiu, this technique will not hurt my life. On the contrary, if I want to survive, I may have to rely on this book..." Ning Fan laughed and patted Que Jiuniang's head again.
Probably because Que Jiuniang was too short and too small, Ning Fan always inadvertently regarded her as a child and wanted to take a few pictures of her.
Ning Fan put away the multiple soul-sealing techniques. This was not the time to study this technique. He believed very much in Nalan Zi's three-life divination. No one could master this technique, but it did not mean that it was rubbish.
"Uncle Ning, don't pat me on the head all the time... This is not good..." Que Jiuniang protested weakly.
"Okay, I won't take pictures anymore. Haha, let's go, I took this book away, so I should give you some compensation."
"No, no need! My uncle just sent my father home and took away a useless book. How dare I accept my uncle's compensation..."
"Oh? Don't you want to break through Shekong one day and go further on the road of cultivation?" Ning Fan smiled.
"What! What uncle is going to give me can make this junior hopeless?" Que Jiuniang was stunned.
Her qualifications are so poor, it took five million years to reach the realm of transcendence, and she relied on all kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures left by her father. Can such a stupid qualification really be wasted?
She was very skeptical and very lacking in self-confidence.
"Qualification is not the most decisive factor affecting a person's achievement..." Ning Fan was about to comfort Que Jiuniang on the issue of qualifications, but as soon as the words came out, he felt inappropriate and stopped.
Que Shenzi is a person with outstanding qualifications. When others ridicule Que Shenzi, they often use the words Ning Fan just said. For Que Jiuniang, these words may not be comfort, but a kind of hurt...
"...Actually, I think your qualifications are quite good, but you just lack the guidance of a famous teacher. And you stay in the Ghost Bird Sect all year round to deal with secular affairs, and have no time to travel and gain experience, so your progress is slow." Ning Fan Another way of saying it.
"Uncle, don't be ridiculous, Xiaojiu's qualifications are very poor, not outstanding at all..."
"Haha, I heard you talking to yourself before, mentioning that you could feel a trace of sadness in the rain of this sea, but is this true?"
"Yes, yes..." Que Jiuniang couldn't help but blush again when she heard that Ning Fan had overheard her previous soliloquy.
"Did you know that among a million Beitian Yuxiu, there are not even five people who can feel this sense of sadness? Your understanding of divine will is naturally higher than that of ordinary people. This is the same as your father It's very similar. This is your advantage. You must learn to use it. Only in this way can you hope to break through the realm of Shekong."
"What? Among a million people, there are not even five people who can feel this sadness? Am I so powerful?" Que Jiuniang said in disbelief.
"So, you just lack the guidance of a famous teacher. If your father had not died five million years ago, maybe you would have given up all your life..."
"My father was killed five million years ago? What my uncle is talking about, I can't understand."
"Nothing, I'll take you to watch the rain."
"Ah? Look at the rain, no need, no need. This junior watches the rain every day and is already tired of it..." Que Jiuniang Ruoruo refused.
"The rain I show you is different from the rain you see yourself."
Ning Fan rolled up his sleeves, and in an instant, the two of them were no longer in the Sutra Pavilion, but somewhere in the endless sea of stars.
Que Jiuniang was so shocked that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear!
After all, she was also a Duzhen. She could not even see Ning Fan's movements clearly, and she was already carried by Ning Fan for countless distances.
During the movement, the ultimate speed for a moment was far beyond Shekong Escape Speed, and even far exceeded the speed of some Beitian Sui Nian that Que Jiuniang had seen!
"Isn't my uncle an eternal immortal? My father actually has such a powerful friend. This is unbelievable..." Que Jiuniang really wanted to ask Ning Fan about his cultivation, but she was afraid that it would be taboo, so she still He hesitated to ask more questions.
Ning Fan saw Que Jiuniang's doubts, but he didn't intend to reveal his own cultivation.
At this moment, he just wants to watch the rain!
He wanted to take his old friend's daughter to watch the rain, and return the kindness of God Son of God from preaching to God Son of Bird's daughter.
This matter is not only beneficial to Que Jiuniang, but also beneficial to Ning Fan himself!
According to Taoist Mu Song's understanding, there are three methods of opening eyes, one is the method of ruthlessness, one is the method of palming the Tao Fruit, and the other is the method of opening eyes.
At this moment, Ning Fan seemed to have discovered another method of palm positioning. His state of mind at this moment, for some reason, triggered the sublimation of Yu Yin and Yang... If it sublimates to the extreme, it will be the Rain Palm position!
When he was young, he heard an insight from the Bird God Son in the Ghost Bird Sect's Ming Tomb in the Rain Realm, and finally understood the meaning of rain.
Now, he brought Que Shenzi's daughter here to watch the rain. What he saw was not the rain, but himself back then, but the perfection of... the rain!
