Wisps of golden light overflowed from the Life Pearl, intertwining and intertwining, and the shadow of a giant tree faintly appeared.
Moon Goddess narrowed his eyes slightly, with a smile on his lips, and waited.
At this time, the first thunderstorm was brewing in the sky, and it hit the Life Pearl heavily. When the two touched each other, majestic air waves surged in all directions, and actually swept the Chang family members away.
Chang Gaocen is the soul of the Three Tribulations. He was not greatly affected by this thunder tribulation and could barely stand. However, the situation of other Chang family members was not optimistic. After he saw the wave of energy passing by, the one that looked like two The fragile life bead that can be crushed with fingers is still floating in the air, surrounded by shadows of dense strings of words from the Heavenly Book. There are some cracks on the life bead, but it is not completely broken.
He was extremely shocked, and suddenly understood that this little clam demon was probably not a simple little clam demon, but at least a powerful reincarnation of the soul. However, Chang Gaocen had been operating in Jiuzhou for so many years and had seen countless powerful souls. , I have never felt a similar atmosphere.
So, who is it?
At this moment, he suddenly felt a warning, not coming from the center of the accident, but behind him, the cold feeling was like a sword that deceived all his senses and reached his vitality.
Chang Gaocen looked back subconsciously, but another thunder catastrophe broke out in the calamity cloud. This thunder calamity was more powerful than before, and Chang Gaocen couldn't help but want to avoid it.
But the strange thing is that the thunder tribulation struck silently, without the power of the initial collision, as if it was sucked directly into the Life Pearl.
This happened again, and this change actually made the Moon Goddess let out a hint of "Eh".
"Don't you want to wake up?" Moon Heavenly Lord murmured.
He raised his eyes and focused on his surroundings. He first saw Chang Gaocen, and then looked deeper into the night behind him.
Yuezhi Tianzun said, "It seems... you and I came at the wrong time..."
Chang Gaocen tried to identify who the figure in the night was, but he couldn't figure it out anyway. At this moment, a breeze blew, and Chang Gaocen was swept away irresistibly.
It is the power of Tianzun.
"What do you think?" Moon Heavenly Lord asked.
"This is her choice, I won't interfere." A deep voice sounded in the depths of the night, and the emotion could not be heard.
But Yue Zhi Tianzun smiled, "You have worked so hard to bring a person from there to Jiuzhou, are you really willing to let her indulge in reincarnation? If she cannot wake up until the end of her life, then this child will completely disappear in reincarnation. .Are you willing?"
The voice in the night was silent for a long time.
Until a tall figure walked out from the depths of the night. He was wearing a robe with dark earth patterns. His eyebrows were like swords and his eyes were like stars. He was cold but not cold, distant but not ethereal. The mountains stood in the distance. This was Qin Keyuan's true appearance, not Ying Ming.
He looked at the Heavenly Lord of the Moon with his hands behind his back, without the respect of the lower-level monks, but he said, "The Heavenly Lord of the Moon is a Heavenly Lord, and even the power of the Heavenly Lord cannot awaken her. I don't know how to awaken the Yuan Shen of the Three Tribulations. It's better to Give her the choice in exchange.”
Moon Heavenly Lord squinted at him, suddenly smiled, and folded his hands in front of him, "Then I am looking forward to it."
His eyes finally fell on the life bead, "This fate is my promise, and I will never fail to promise it."
Before he finished speaking, the whole person disappeared in mid-air like moonlight.
Qin Keyuan stared at Zhao Ning's Life Bead in the air for a long time. Because of the departure of the Moon Goddess, the power that awakened Zhao Ning's heart that was blessed on the Life Bead was also pulled away. The calamity cloud came in a hurry and left suddenly.
Only the cold wind remained in the dark night.
"Zhao Ning, what makes you reluctant to wake up for so long?" He murmured and asked, looking up into the distance. He knew it had nothing to do with the Liang family, Xi Yuan and Chang Jinghuan, so it was because...
Qin Keyuan's heart tightened, and he closed his eyes slightly. After a long time, he raised his hand and waved, and the life pearl was sent to the sky by silver light, in the direction of Angaogou of Zhuojiang River.
Zhao Ning woke up. She was floating along a piece of driftwood. She had no body. She was like an invisible veil hanging on the branches of the driftwood.
She remembers everything that happened before, remembers the arrival of the Moon Goddess, and remembers the Moon Goddess saying it was time for her to wake up.
wake up? Why wake up?
She is living in this world soberly, clearly aware of everything that has happened around her in the past seventeen years. She is not asleep. She still has things to do, so why should she wake up.
Zhao Ning was sitting on the driftwood, her mind wandering unconsciously, chewing two words in her mouth.
"Zhao... Ning..."
"What does this name mean?" Zhao Ning murmured to herself.
After a moment, she answered herself hesitantly, "Shouldn't it be me?"
She was lost in thought for a long time, probably unable to find the answer, and would rather let her thoughts go.
But the morning sun rose, and the sunlight enveloped the rolling rivers. Zhao Ning could see the nearby scene clearly. The mountains were arranged in front of each other, and a large river meandered through the mountains. There were obvious changes in the landform of Daze, which made Zhao Ning Almost instantly, it was recognized that this was Zhuojiang.
Angaogou is a reed marsh in the middle and upper reaches of the Zhuojiang River. You can see this reed marsh as the river floats out of the mountains. However, entering the reed marsh, Zhao Ning felt something was wrong here.
It's very quiet here, and the breath of the surrounding creatures is also very light. When you look up at the sky, you feel a strange barrier. So the deeper you go, the more it feels like you have entered a secret realm that is isolated from the outside world.
But Zhao Ning did not hesitate. She still used her weak demon power to drive the driftwood deeper. She wanted to get the Wuxiang Tian Fern Flower.
If Granny Luo mentioned the Wuxiang Heavenly Fern Flower, Zhao Ning didn't understand why a magical elixir that could reshape spiritual bones could last longer for her. She couldn't figure out the relationship between this elixir and the Demonic Barrier of the Heaven. , now she finally understands that she has nothing to do with the Demonic Barrier in the Heaven, and its real function is to allow herself, as a soul, to reshape her physical body, so that she can "get it longer."
Zhao Ning knew that Granny Luo must not be an ordinary mortal. During the time she stayed in Yuanming Village, Zhao Ning met too many "ordinary people" beyond her knowledge.
There is no road in the reed swamp, but the river does not lose its direction because of the thick reeds. The river carries the driftwood to the east.
Zhao Ning pushed aside pieces of reeds until a few days later, she pushed aside the last one and finally saw the real "ditch" of Angaogou.
It was a long, narrow and bottomless ditch. The water rushed into the ditch. Because it was "bottomless", there was no sound of water falling to the ground, and the ditch was not filled up by the continuous river water.
The driftwood floated to the edge of the ditch, and finally fell into the ditch unsurprisingly. The falling speed was so fast that the condensed soul could no longer catch the driftwood, so it could only curl up into the life bead again, and was wrapped in the Anan by the current. Deep in Gaogou.
It had been many days since Zhao Ning noticed that the falling force had eased. Zhao Ning had never seen such a realm before. It was surrounded by water. The stone walls on both sides were washed by the light and translucent, but there were countless ice crystal-like spiritual flowers. Blooming on the rock wall, they are completely transparent and glowing with fluorescence. The entire depth is not an abyss, but like a holy land fabricated by light.
In shock, Zhao Ning floated to one side of the rock wall to touch a spiritual flower, but with this very light touch, the spiritual flower turned into a stream of water and merged into the water, as if it had never grown before. , and there are no traces of roots remaining on the rock wall.
The Wuxiangtian Fern Flower must be here.
She did not dare to touch those spiritual flowers that would break when touched. She was floating in the water, feeling the power conveyed by the water flow. There must be the breath of the Wuxiang Tian Fern Flower hidden in them.
However, before Zhao Ning could find the Wuxiang Tian Fern Flower, she suddenly noticed a strange aura hidden deeper, which was the breath of a monster.
The next moment, a big wave appeared in the calm water, and a shadow, faster than lightning, rushed straight towards Zhao Ning. Fortunately, Zhao Ning was extremely vigilant and managed to avoid the impact of the monster.
Only then did Zhao Ning see the true appearance of the shadow clearly. It was a transparent crystal eel, nearly ten feet long, with fluorescence flowing on its body.
But it has no intelligence and no signs of cultivation. It just relies on instinct to attack the strange aura that invades the territory.
Zhao Ning drove Chen Tianshu, and the golden handwriting flowed. The moment before the crystal eel was about to touch her, the crystal eel paused.
"I want to find the phaseless fern flower to reshape my body. Can you help me?" Zhao Ning used her demonic power to convey her will.
Gou Chen Tianshu concubines all the demons. Even though Zhao Ning is unable to exert its true effect, the crystal eel meekly obeys her words.
So, Zhao Ning followed the crystal eel and swam farther away.
The area in this crystal water was very large and the ravines were twisted. After the crystal eel brought Zhao Ning to one place, it just circled in place.
"Is it here?" Zhao Ning asked softly.
The crystal eel would not answer her, but it stretched its body, as if it was sleepy again, and gradually stopped moving and sank downwards, occasionally flicking its tail and turning its body.
With the help of the crystal eel, Zhao Ning waited in place for a long time. He didn't know how much time passed. Until one day, the soul sleeping in the life bead was awakened by a flash of fluorescence. The soul originally growing on the ditch walls on both sides The flower seemed to be touched by something and turned into a stream of water. These water flows converged in the same direction.
Zhao Ning followed and saw a colorless, shadowless and invisible spiritual flower condensing where the water flow gathered.
This is the Wuxiangtian Fern Flower. It turns out that the spiritual flowers growing in the entire ditch wall are part of it.
Zhao Ning used the Wuxiang Tian Fern Flower to reshape her body. It was probably because she had been a human for a longer period of time. The reshaped spiritual bones did not have the clam shell part. Her appearance was more like a human than a demon.
On the day when her physical body was reunited, the entire bottom of the ditch was dim. She opened her eyes and moved her hands and feet. She was not used to the physical body. She used her demonic power to transform into simple clothes.
Zhao Ning did not leave immediately. She searched in the ditch and saw the crystal eel again. It had just woken up from its sleep and noticed Zhao Ning. It swam over meekly and circled around her.
"Thank you, I'm leaving."
Jingyue couldn't understand her words, but he probably realized Zhao Ning's intention to leave, so he paused, looked at Zhao Ning from the front, and then handed his tail to Zhao Ning.
It seems to be saying, pull my tail and I will take you away.
Zhao Ning was stunned for a moment, then turned and smiled, "No, I can leave by myself. It's very dangerous up there, and the human monks are very greedy."
As she spoke, she raised her hand to slowly draw something in the water, until the last stroke fell, and the invisible thing condensed into a golden handwriting, which was a word in the Tianshu.
"Thank you for leading me to the Wuxiang Tian Fern Flower. I am alone and don't know how to repay you. Maybe this word can wish you success in this life."
The image of golden characters is Gou Chen's blessing falling into the body of the crystal eel, and the crystal eel feels a strange power spreading throughout its body.
At this time, Zhao Ning left the ditch against the current. It was not until dozens of days later that Zhao Ning finally re-entered the reed marsh.
The Clam Demon clan is naturally good at water and can swim in water. She walked slowly in the reeds, but she didn't walk for long when she heard the voice of the human monk.
"I heard that there is a strange beast in Angao Valley. If I can control it, it will definitely be a big help."
"Don't think about it. There are really strange beasts. It's your turn. Strange beasts are born second only to divine beasts. They are born with extraordinary power."
Zhao Ning didn't know whether they were talking about the crystal eels, but the pressure of their sweep of the reeds came through, at least they were building foundations.
She wanted to get around them, but it was too late.
In just a few breaths, several human monks had completely surrounded Zhao Ning.
"Where did this little clam monster come from? It's so smart."
"I heard that the Clam Demon clan can give birth to heaven and earth spirit beads. The spirit beads have been at least at the level of spiritual treasures since they were born."
These human monks were of extremely bad character, and they looked at Zhao Ning with a strange look and a disgusting look in their eyes.
Zhao Ning stood there, not afraid of this. She first tried to communicate, "The little demon is just passing by and has no intention of disturbing you. Can you let the little demon leave?"
It was replaced with laughter, mocking, condescending, and malicious.
"Okay, but please hand over your spirit beads."
Before he finished speaking, several people pounced on Zhao Ning. Before Zhao Ning could move, those people suddenly suffered a huge force of oppression, and large amounts of blood spurted out from their mouths.
Zhao Ning looked up, and at some point, a huge phantom of a seal appeared in the sky.
It seems familiar, it seems to be... the evil-dispelling cloud seal.
Sure enough, a female cultivator appeared, it was Ting Lan who she met by chance back then. She raised her hand and waved, and those people flew out instantly.
Ting Lan waved away the phantom of the seal treasure and appeared in front of Zhao Ning. He was obviously a calm character but now he could not restrain his excitement.
"Senior Zhao Ning... it's really you... so good... so good..."
She looked like she was about to cry.
But Zhao Ning only looked at her doubtfully. The name Zhao Ning told her back then was Liang Mo, not Zhao Ning, and she had never seen her appearance before.
Ting Lan suppressed her sobs and said, "I thought you were really trapped in Shixu. It's great that you came here anyway. Heaven has indeed not failed you."
Zhao Ning's expression faded.
She only asked softly after listening to Lan's mood slowly calm down.
