Zhao Ning vaguely guessed that it was probably the time of the Ruins, and every powerful casual cultivator who had news began to prepare. This may also be the reason for the grandeur of the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce this time.
In the remaining days, Zhao Ning did not participate in the excitement. She returned to the Qingxiao Sect, closed the cave, and explored the drop of "blood of ancient ferocious beasts."
In the House of Silent Spirits, Zhao Ning was sitting cross-legged in the main hall. The blood beads were hovering quietly in front of him. When he turned his right hand, a spiritual light flashed through him. The bones of the ancient god were leaning on his arms.
From that day when the Star Spirit Ruins broke through the barrier to activate the power of the bones, Zhao Ning knew that the bones were extraordinary and definitely not the bones of the Yuan Shen. He could feel the three thousand avenues in the Star Spirit Ruins. Because of its appearance, there is a sense of surrender.
She touched the remains with her fingertips and relied on the secret transmission of the six spiritual sources of Taixu. The five senses and six consciousnesses gathered in the visualization. In a mysterious state, she vaguely sensed countless flashes of lightning around her, until Zhao Ning captured the ancient light in one lightning. The word "break" in thunder pattern.
Zhao Ning instantly understood that these flashing lightnings were countless gathered ancient thunder patterns.
Suddenly he opened his eyes and pinched "break". The thunder light gathered in all directions until it landed on the drop of blood. The outer membrane of the blood drop shattered, and a majestic and vast force floated away. In an instant, the entire House of Silent Spirits was swaying, and only the bones of the ancient god in Zhao Ning's hand glowed with a faint fluorescence, creating a silent space.
But then, the drop of blood seemed to be sentient, and it came directly towards Zhao Ning. There was no evil or murderous intention, but it felt like an ant that was unable to contend.
All of Zhao Ning's movements were restrained by the oppression. Seeing the drop of blood shoot directly to the center of her eyebrows, her fingertips trembled slightly. This was to forcefully contend with the oppression and seek the opportunity to cast the spell.
But before Zhao Ning could break free, the bones of the ancient god were lying in front of Zhao Ning. The blood touched the bones without splashing at all. The drop of blood blended into the bones visibly with the naked eye, and Zhao Ning could see it spreading on the bones. Complex and mysterious blood lines appeared, but they were swallowed up by the fluorescence of the bones.
The coercion dissipated, and the Silent Spirit Mansion returned to silence. Zhao Ning intuitively told Zhao Ning that there had been subtle changes in the bones.
The remains were hovering in front of her, as if inviting Zhao Ning to raise her hand to hold them.
For a long time, Zhao Ning followed the feeling and held the remains. At that moment, the entire Jingling Mansion was shaken. Zhao Ning suddenly heard the sound of several dragon roars. She was startled and suddenly looked towards the inner hall and placed it on the elevated The Dragon Roar Whip actually transformed into several ancient dragons, each one corresponding to the shadow of the dragon Zhao Ning was looking for, and they merged directly into the bones, with bloody lines appearing and disappearing, and several Dragon Roars coiling around until Finally, the bones trembled, instantly pulling Zhao Ning into a mysterious realm.
In the void, there is a desk and a futon, surrounded by ancient thunder patterns in all directions, and countless golden restrictions on the outside are intertwined and flashed by.
At a certain moment, this place looked like a towering library.
She felt as if she was approaching the desk, and saw the shadow of the immortal sitting in front of the desk, holding a pen and moving quickly on the paper.
"... When the God's Tomb comes out, the sword array is divided into seven points, two points enter my hand, three points enter the clear sky, and two points enter the ninth heaven..."
At this moment, there seemed to be a loud voice in Zhao Ning's heart. This sentence was the annotation of the fragmentary scroll of Taiyi Heluo Sword Formation. The person in front of him was... the previous generation's master of Silent Spirit Mansion?
However, when Zhao Ning looked intently at the immortal's appearance, he could not see anything. Instead, he could see the unbroken words on the paper through the shadow.
"...The Taiyi River Luo Sword Formation participates in the changes of the Great Dao. The changes will cause the heaven and earth to overturn, the stars and rivers to reverse, and the world to reset. It is created by the reverse view of the reincarnation of the world. It is a heaven-slaying method and a formation of the Great Dao."
"...I have been observing the sword formation for several thousand years. I imitate the vicissitudes of the Heluo sword. It can steal the sky. However, to practice this sword, you need at least four fragments of the scroll. By using the fragments, you can visualize the changes of the Heluo and the vicissitudes of the sea. Understand the true meaning of the sword.”
"...This sword is a method of Yuan Ling, but it must not be used by gods or humans."
At the end of the last word, the surroundings suddenly expanded to the periphery, and the desk and futon disappeared. After a few breaths, a vast dojo appeared in front of Zhao Ning's eyes.
But he saw the shadow of the immortal standing up, raising his hand to hold it, and a strange sword appeared in his hand. It was said to be strange because it looked like a wooden sword carved by ordinary people.
The immortal moves with his sword, and with each rise and fall of the sword, the outside of the dojo will appear as mountains and rivers change, and day and night change. As his movements become more and more frequent, until the afterimages of the Taoist paths finally stay in the dojo, the outside seems to have experienced vicissitudes of life.
Zhao Ning knew that this was an immortal's interpretation of the vicissitudes of the Heluo Sword, but there was no remaining scroll of the Taiyi Heluo Sword Formation, so he could only observe the shape of the sword.
At this moment, Zhao Ning suddenly realized that she was stupid. The changes in the surrounding world were the Taiyi Heluo Incident. She stretched out her hand and wanted to follow the immortal to practice swordsmanship, but what appeared in her hand were the bones of the ancient god. She thought As soon as he moved, the ancient god's bones suddenly changed. The dragon's body became the handle, and the bones became the sword, forming a shadowless divine sword.
Zhao Ning held the sword and moved with the immortal, passing by each move. The changes in Heluo seemed to be in the sword and in the heart.
Until the end, the immortal's afterimage suddenly disappeared into the void. He condensed his body for a moment, suddenly knelt down, and his mind fell back.
On the main couch, Zhao Ning suddenly emitted a burst of spiritual energy.
It was too reckless. The immortal had warned that there must be at least four sword formations in order to appreciate the vicissitudes of Heluo's sword. She only relied on a fragment of the scroll obtained from Wangxian Death City to try to practice swordsmanship with the immortal, so this injury was inevitable.
After a while, Zhao Ning stood up straight, holding the divine sword in his hand. The sword body was crystal clear and transparent, and the hilt was surrounded by dragons. It was of no quality and no restrictions. However, Zhao Ning knew that this sword was definitely beyond the level of a cultivator's weapon refining level. .
Zhao Ning didn't know whether this was an inheritance from an immortal or a chance fusion of the three. She could sense that this sword was inseparable from the Palace of Silent Spirits, and it became her destiny when the barrier was broken through the ruins of the Star Spirit.
With a movement of his hand, the Shadowless Sword disappeared.
Zhao Ning didn't move for a long time, and then thought about the Taiyi River and Luo Sword Formation. She suddenly appeared in the towering library, raised her hand, and the remaining scrolls unfolded in front of her eyes.
The immortal's annotation came into my eyes. Due to my recent experience, this annotation was gradually completed in the first volume. As the remaining volumes unfolded piece by piece, the shadow of the changing mountains and rivers and the image of the vicissitudes of the sea reappeared in my eyes, like floating streams surrounding the condensed land. Spreading it from top to bottom, she brushed it piece by piece, until finally, Zhao Ning was shocked to find that the fragment was not one part, but three parts.
One point comes from Wangxian Death City, and the other two points are...
...It is the inheritance of immortals.
Just like when Zhao Ning noticed the strangeness in the library, she bowed solemnly and thanked the immortal across the endless river of time... for granting him eternal life.
Chapter 299
"Zhao Ning!"
Outside the cave, Ji Xiu shouted. As soon as Zhao Ningfu left the cave, Ji Xiu grabbed Yukong and carried him outside the sect.
"What's the matter, are you so obsessed with the emperor?"
Ji Xiu laughed at her, "Have you forgotten that today is the day of the trial meeting hosted by Shi Yueze, and we agreed that we would support him."
Zhao Ning counted the days and had been imagining the remaining scrolls of the Taiyi River and Luo Sword Formation in the House of Silent Spirit for dozens of days. Time passed by as if it only took a blink of an eye.
"Don't worry, you can enter at any time."
Zhao Ning had participated in this trial meeting in Blazing City a hundred years ago. There was no time limit. Besides, to support the event, one had to go last. Only this event would be dramatic enough.
"What? Are you still busy?" Ji Xiu asked curiously.
Zhao Ning looked at the Patriarch Hall of the inner gate of Qingxiao Sect and asked, "I wonder...is there still my soul lamp in the Patriarch Hall?"
"The soul lanterns were all broken during the demonic chaos. The soul lanterns stored now are the soul lanterns that were replaced later." Ji Xiu followed Zhao Ning to the Patriarch's Hall, "You want to re-light a soul lantern." Lamp? It just so happens that when you came back twenty years ago, Hong Jie wanted to build a soul lamp for you, but you went into retreat as soon as you came back."
Ji Xiu entered the Patriarch's Hall first, followed by Zhao Ning.
In the center of the Patriarch Hall is the statue of the Patriarch, the Immortal Wind Taoist Bones, holding a fly whisk, looking far away at the thousands of years of Qingxiao Sect.
The hall is not square, but in the shape of a ring of columns. There are many grids embedded in the walls, all of the same size, all made of gold and jade, and a soul lamp is placed in each grid.
The soul lamp is like a transparent cylinder, no more than half a foot long and no more than three inches wide. It is engraved with guardian spirit patterns, and a little soul light rests inside like a candle.
"That's the place reserved for you." Ji Xiu pointed to the second person on the left side of the statue of the Patriarch.
The first one on the left belongs to Qin Keyuan. It was just that the master's uncle expelled himself from the sect, so this position was forever vacant.
After Ji Xiu finished speaking, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He frowned and stared at Zhao Ning, "Why do you suddenly have such an idea? Are you going to some dangerous place?"
Zhao Ning did not answer immediately. He pinched the magic weapon in his hand, turned his hand and pointed, and a pure white light from his fingertips penetrated into the second empty lamp on the left.
The soul light in the lamp flickers like a candle flame, small but bright.
After she seemed to confirm that everything was in order, she said to Ji Xiu, "You said, 'It's time to mend a soul lamp a long time ago.' Why don't you come here to mend it? Besides, next, it's time to go to the trial meeting of the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce. , where else can we go?”
Ji Xiu looked at her with disbelief, but Zhao Ning turned around and left calmly.
He chased after him, "Zhao Ning, don't go into danger again. That day at the Tomb of Ghosts and Gods, you followed that guy into the ninth heaven. We were extremely worried. That was the entrance to the ruins of time. Once you were lost, you couldn't go back." I can’t come back. Although my cultivation is not as good as yours now, you still have to call me uncle, and I promise that my senior brother will take good care of you."
Zhao Ning paused, smiled teasingly, and then saluted, "Yes, Uncle Ji!"
The two left the Patriarch's Hall. Ji Xiu didn't notice it from the beginning to the end. There was a jade pendant under Zhao Ning's soul lamp. The dragon pattern and tail were an ancient dragon pattern jade pendant.
In the northwest of Kyushu, there is a sign of great misfortune, and Zhao Ning finally wants to find out.
When Zhao Ning and Ji Xiu arrived at Guiyuan City, Guiyuan City was extremely noisy. The trial meeting for Yuanying and below was coming to an end. Some low-level monks who came out early were already exchanging their experiences in this trial, or , simply exchange the treasures obtained in the trial for what you need, and it was very lively for a while.
The Nascent Soul Trial has not yet begun, and low-level cultivators are not allowed to watch and participate. Therefore, most people's eyes are focused on Jindan Zhenren's trial tower.
The Golden Elixir Trial Tower in this conference is said to have ninety-nine floors, and each floor is more difficult than the previous one. Shi Yueze ingeniously brought the sword talent list routine of Bianzhou Cultivation World here, and announced it straightforwardly. This trial conference is looking for the number one monk in Kyushu!
This sentence instantly raised the atmosphere of the entire Kyushu Chamber of Commerce to the highest level. Some cultivators in seclusion even came out of seclusion immediately after receiving messages from their friends, wanting to try for the title of "Number One in Kyushu".
Under this arrangement, the arena in Guiyuan City was replaced with the "Number One Monument in Kyushu". The base was a square platform, with nine levels in each side. The body of the monument was held up by the mythical beast Bixi, which was a hundred feet high.
Everyone who participates in the trial will be listed on the monument. Even if they can't compete for the title of "Number One in Kyushu", being on the list is something worth being excited about.
So the trials for cultivators under the Nascent Soul went through seven or forty-nine days. To this day, there are still several layers of the trial tower glowing with fluorescence.
These lighted floors indicate that there are still people inside who are undergoing trials at this moment.
Zhao Ning learned about this trial tower for the first time. Listening to the various conversations around him, he also understood everything.
The 30th floor of the Trial Tower is the highest peak that can be reached during the Qi Refining Period. The 60th floor of the Trial Tower is the highest place that can be reached during the Foundation Establishment Period. The 61st to 99th floors of the Trial Tower are based on the level of the Golden Elixir. Arrival, generally speaking, high-grade golden elixirs can probably reach the highest level.
At this moment, everything below the sixty-ninth floor was dark, and only the ninety-ninth floor was still lit. Judging from the surroundings, there should be two people on the ninety-ninth floor, and they seemed to be competing for the first place.
"If you are a true cultivator, you should go to the 100th floor!" This sentence was always howled by the cultivators who were watching.
Ji Xiu smiled and said, "This is what Shang Xia said casually when he heard about Shi Yueze's trial arrangements. It seemed like a slander. Shi Yueze chewed it twice, so he just said it directly before the trial meeting started. Speak words of encouragement to everyone.”
"Is that really the 100th floor?" Zhao Ning asked strangely.
"Yes. The hundredth floor is not the floor for the Nascent Soul Trial." Ji Xiu understood very well. "This floor is hidden in a certain space in the tower. It was opened by the Tianyuan Zhongyu bottle. Unless the Nascent Soul realm Or the great luck cannot be activated. Therefore, they will not be able to enjoy this 'true monk'."
"That's not necessarily the case." Zhao Ning said mercilessly. He raised his hand and pointed. Ji Xiu's expression was stunned, but he saw the light from the 99th layer flowing down like a waterfall, suddenly lighting up the entire trial tower.
"What's going on? What happened?"
"Could it be that you really reached the 100th floor?"
"Quick, go and see the No. 1 Monument in Kyushu, the No. 1 Real Person is about to be replaced!"
"..."
At this time, Shi Yueze's voice came from high in the sky, "The Yuanying trial has begun. If you are interested, you can enter the trial tower. There is no time limit or number of people in this trial. You can win the trial treasure. Refining ends on its own.”
As soon as he finished speaking, several streams of light flashed through Guiyuan City. The streams of light were mixed with casual and scattered coercion. The noisy crowd fell silent for a moment, and they all lowered their heads and respectfully sent the ancestors into the trial tower.
Ji Xiu and Zhao Ning, who were not affected, were looking at the No. 1 monument in Kyushu. The first position on the monument was still shrouded in white light, and they were switching to the new No. 1 person in Kyushu.
Ji Xiu teased, "Speaking of this great fortune, we have to talk about that boy Shang Xia. Is it possible that he wants to be in the limelight again?"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, his expression paused, "Who is this?"
The first person on the monument is engraved - Chengxuan's journey to the south of the world of cultivation.
Ji Xiu has been traveling around Kyushu for hundreds of years and has never heard of such a person. He glanced at Zhao Ning. He didn't know how he could know about Zhao Ning, who was already practicing hard.
Zhao Ning didn't care, "This means there is someone else outside."
After the words fell, Shi Yueze suddenly appeared, raising his hands and putting them on their shoulders, "What are you talking about?"
Ji Xiu was slightly startled and raised his chin, "Who is this Nandu?"
"I heard that he is an elder from a small sect in Chengxuan Cultivation World. It is said that he has been practicing for three to four hundred years. He should have accumulated a lot of experience this time." Shi Yueze didn't take it to heart and only focused on greeting him, "The Nascent Soul Trial has begun. , go inside and experience it?”
"Of course. But what exactly is your trial treasure?" Ji Xiu was extremely curious about this.
