"Ninth-level puppet?" Yinyuelian stood up, holding the feather fan and said with a surprised smile, "Junior brother, are you sure?"
"I have never fought before, so I dare not say anything," Ji Ning said.
"Junior brother, you are just being humble. Let's go and let senior brother see it." Yinyue immediately led Ji Ning down the Immortal Palace and came to the open space.
…
Many disciples from the Fangcun Mountain lineage gathered outside the clearing, and even Xiaoqing and Uncle Bai arrived because Ji Ning had sent a message to them mentally before, telling them that he wanted to challenge the ninth-level puppet. Xiaoqing and Uncle Bai both took a break from practicing and came to watch the battle.
"Master Ji Ning is going to challenge the eighth-level puppet again? He has defeated the eighth-level puppet nine times before, right?"
"Maybe challenge the ninth-level puppet!"
"How can a ninth-level puppet be so easy to challenge!"
"We have so many disciples, and some monsters have been here for tens of thousands of years, but they haven't been able to defeat the ninth-level puppet."
The disciples discussed quietly.
Some disciples even asked Xiao Qing and Uncle Bai: "Kong Qing Snake, Bai Shui Ze, which level of puppet does Master Ji Ning want to challenge?"
"Sister Xiaoqing, don't tell them, just tell me."
After all, after these thirty years, Xiaoqing and Bai Shuize have become very familiar with these disciples.
Bai Shuize smiled.
Xiao Qing raised her head and said, "You'll know just by looking at it."
In the distance, Ji Ning and Yinyue were talking. They had high status, and most disciples from the Fangcun Mountain lineage would not dare to talk to them.
"Wow." Yinyue waved her hand, and a puppet appeared out of thin air.
This puppet is white jade in color, with nine rings on its right arm, and its invisible aura is also very strong.
"Ninth level puppet!"
"It's the ninth level!"
"Uncle Ji Ning wants to challenge the ninth-level puppet!"
There was a sudden exclamation and excitement.
The days in Fangcun Mountain were so leisurely. Everyone is devoted to cultivating Taoism, so someone challenging the ninth-level puppet is enough to attract the attention of many disciples. Especially for this challenge... it was Ji Ning who had just been under the disciples of Patriarch Bodhi for thirty years and was his unofficial direct disciple. This naturally makes everyone more excited.
*******
In the battleground.
Ji Ning and the ninth-level puppet faced each other from a distance.
"This is your first time to challenge me. The body of a god and demon is only at the perfection level of the soul." The ninth-level puppet's eyes were faintly gleaming, and he looked at Ji Ning carefully.
However, Ji Ning knew that these ninth-level puppets were refined by Master Bodhi Ancestor, which was comparable to the pure Yang magic weapon, and both had spirituality and wisdom.
A Beiming sword appeared in Ji Ning's left and right hands: "Stop talking nonsense. Use your strongest swordsmanship."
"Hmph." The ninth-level puppet smiled coldly, and a wide heavy sword appeared in his hand, "Then I will play with you." As soon as he finished speaking, the ninth-level puppet made the ground shake with one step, and it had already reached Ji Ning. In front of you. The speed was so fast that Ji Ning's eyebrows moved. His feet only moved slightly, and the two swords in his hands rushed forward at the same time.
Hua Hua Hua~~~
The overwhelming shadow of the waves appeared out of thin air. Ji Ning's swordsmanship was already advanced enough to attract a large amount of blessings from the power of heaven and earth, and these strange phenomena appeared just now.
Waves of phantoms swept up, including Ji Ning's sword light.
clang! clang! clang!
The ninth-level puppet's heavy sword is extremely fierce and domineering. Every sword hit with huge waves!
Ji Ning's swordsmanship is more resilient and continuous.
The swordsmanship of the ninth-level puppet is even more fierce.
But under Ji Ning's continuous sword skills, the ninth-level puppet became unable to withstand it.
"You really have a chance. I can't defeat you unless I show some real skills." A heavy sword also appeared in the other hand of the ninth-level puppet.
Boom~~~Boom~~~~
I saw two heavy swords waving. For a moment, it was like a huge wind wheel, and even a huge vortex of waves appeared in the sky above the ninth-level puppet! The huge whirlpool shadow obviously represents the extremely powerful power of heaven and earth. The sword power of this ninth-level puppet is obviously more fierce and domineering! And with a strangulating power! Completely suppressing Ji Ning!
"Sword Travels in Three Realms!" Ji Ning was suppressed and his swordsmanship suddenly changed.
The Jianyou Three Realms that had been modified and perfected in seclusion was immediately put into use. Under the two dazzling sword lights, there were two black swimming dragons. The two black dragons swam, entangled with each other, and rushed towards each other.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
The three intersections of sword light.
Suddenly everything came to a standstill.
The ninth-level puppet and Ji Ning passed each other, standing back to back. The ninth-level puppet was motionless, while Ning put away the Beiming Sword in his hand.
There is a hideous wound on the chest of the ninth-level puppet!
In the previous three encounters, it was obvious that Ji Ning's swordsmanship was a little faster. Even though it was just a little bit faster, it had already decided the outcome.
The ninth-level puppet looked down at his chest, and the wound on his chest disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"You win." The ninth-level puppet turned to look at Ji Ning, "You defeated me in the first fight. You can enter the ninth floor of the Immortal Palace."
"Yuxin, this is my junior brother, I deserve to win against you." Yinyue walked over.
"Junior brother? The disciple accepted by the ancestor?" The ninth-level puppet looked at Ning in surprise.
"The more disciples who defeat you, the closer you are to freedom. You should be happy. Well, it's time for you to go back to where you went." Yinyue waved her hand and put away the ninth-level puppet.
"Junior brother, congratulations." Yinyue looked at Ji Ning and smiled, "Let's go, let's enter the Immortal Palace."
"Yes." Ji Ning nodded.
Immediately followed Yinyue into the Immortal Palace.
The disciples of Fangcun Mountain watched this scene blankly, watching Ji Ning and Yinyue enter the Immortal Palace together.
"Won!"
"I actually won!"
"Master Ji Ning defeated the ninth-level puppet."
"What a domineering swordsmanship, what a terrifying swordsmanship."
"Uncle Master, you are truly a peerless swordsman."
Everyone was amazed.
"It's only been thirty years."
"It has only been thirty years since Master became a disciple of the Patriarch. Thirty years ago, Master barely defeated the fourth-level puppet. In just thirty years, he has already defeated the ninth-level puppet. I have been on the mountain for nearly a million years. "The six-armed demon surrounded by flames said in a low voice, shaking his head and sighing. "You humans have really ridiculously high levels of understanding."
"I am a human being. I have been climbing the mountain for thousands of years, but I have never defeated a ninth-level puppet."
"Even the immortals may not be able to defeat the ninth-level puppet. After thirty years... no wonder he was accepted as a disciple by the ancestor."
"The ancestor's direct disciple is amazing."
"Sister Xiaoqing, how about asking Master to give me a sermon sometime?"
"Brother Bai, your master's swordsmanship is really good, but I have doubts about my swordsmanship. When will your master give us some advice?"
There were various discussions.
Xiaoqing and Uncle Bai were also very happy.
******
To defeat the ninth-level puppet in thirty years, ordinary disciples of the Fangcun Mountain lineage marveled at him and thought it was incredible. But for a direct disciple like Old Devil Silver Moon, this was within expectations.
Ji Ning and Yinyue were walking on the stairs of the Immortal Palace, walking up the wooden steps.
"Junior brother can defeat the ninth-level puppet in thirty years. It's really remarkable." Yinyue smiled, "Now the ordinary disciples below are shocked and excited by it."
"It's okay." Ji Ning didn't feel like there was anything to be proud of.
With the guidance of my master, Patriarch Bodhi, and the guidance of the Shuifu Xingchen Palace, I often sit on the netherworld jade bed in the Shuifu Meditation Room, and meditate in the environment of the Bodhi Meditation Formation... Thirty years? His original goal was to defeat the ninth-level puppet within decades.
"I wonder how the other senior brothers and sisters are doing? How long did it take to defeat the ninth-level puppet?" Ji Ning asked curiously.
"Among the many direct disciples of the master, you are considered normal." Senior Brother Yinyue said with a smile, "There are many direct disciples. Those who were extremely strong when they became disciples are not included. Those who were very weak when they became disciples... Including you, there are ten of them. Two of them. The shortest one was more than a year, and the longest one took more than 13,000 years."
Ji Ning was shocked: "The shortest time is just over a year? The longest time is more than 10,000 years?"
After all, he was accepted as his direct disciple by the ancestor, which took more than 10,000 years. It's a little too outrageous.
And more than a year is too exaggerated.
"There are a total of nineteen disciples under the master. Seven of them were very strong when they became a disciple, and there are twelve others who are weak." Yinyue said. "Among them, the Ninth Junior Brother has a very high level of understanding. The master's incarnation traveled around the ancient world. He met this Ninth Junior Brother. The Ninth Junior Brother was still an ordinary child at that time, and he liked painting the most. The master just gave him a pointer at that time. Ninth Junior Brother has never The young boy who had practiced enlightened himself overnight and understood a complete Tao, 'The Way of Ink Painting'. Then the master took him to Fangcun Mountain, and in more than a year, the ninth junior brother defeated the ninth-level puppet."
Ji Ning blinked.
A young child who has never practiced drawing? Enlightenment of a complete Tao in one night?
Defeated the ninth-level puppet in more than a year?
"Then there are the third senior brother and the sixth junior brother." Yin Yue said, "Both of them only spent a few years, and they didn't practice much when they first became disciples. However, they both came from extraordinary backgrounds, and the third senior brother was born with great luck. , is a golden crow conceived on the sun star. The sixth junior brother is also extraordinary, he is a spiritual monkey conceived and born from the Sky-Mending Stone left by Empress Nuwa."
Ji Ning was shocked.
The spirit monkey bred by the Sky-Mending Stone reminded Ji Ning of the story recorded in a book on the small world 'Earth'. He didn't know that this so-called spirit monkey was somewhat similar to the one recorded in that story.
"From now on, it will take decades of cultivation." Yin Yue said, "In short, the human race has extremely high understanding, and there are also worlds such as Third Senior Brother and Sixth Junior Brother that have given birth to beings of extraordinary origins, and their understanding is also extremely high."
"Master's disciples, those who defeated the ninth-level puppets within a hundred years are all from the human race and from extraordinary backgrounds."
"Like my demon race, there are many masters under my sect. For example, I practiced for more than three thousand years before defeating the ninth-level puppet. There are also those who are later than me. The overall understanding of the demon race is much worse than that of the human race."
Ji Ning nodded.
The demons have poor understanding, and the gods and demons have even worse understanding! However, God also made up for it. The human race has a life span of 500 years in the Zifu stage and 800 years in the Vientiane stage. But the demon clan is different. Some great demons with innate creatures can live for thousands of years, and great demons in the Vientiane stage can even live for more than ten thousand years. As for the life span of gods and demons, it is even more outrageous. Gods and demons are basically immortal, and they are not even affected by three disasters and nine calamities. However, their understanding is also pitifully poor, and they may not even make any progress in billions of years.
"The senior brothers and sisters under the master are all extraordinary. Some have amazing backgrounds or amazing opportunities. It is because of the inheritance of Sanshou Taoist that I can become a disciple of the master." Ji Ning understood that he was considered ordinary among the master's disciples.
But the difference between me and them is... I am a disciple of Patriarch Bodhi and Taoist Sanshou.
His own magical power, the 'Star Picking Hand', was what Taoist Sanshou relied on to conquer the ancient world. Not even Ancestor Bodhi could possess this level of magical power.
"The ninth floor has arrived."
Yinyue walked to the ninth floor and said with a smile, "After junior brother chooses the ninth floor's method, he can go to the Three Realms Palace! As long as he learns one of the magical powers and secrets in the Three Realms Palace and practices them to the extreme, He will definitely be able to travel across the three realms and become a famous figure in the three realms."
