Jining flew slowly in the direction of the Endless Sea. Perhaps due to the power of the Seven-Star Formation Illusion, he did not encounter any danger along the way. After several months of flight, Jining is now close to the edge of the Kunyun Central Continent.
Jining landed on an island. The island was not that big because it was close to the Endless Sea, which also made the island's aura of heaven and earth extremely rich. Perhaps because of this, many human monks appeared on the island. It can only be seen from the ruins of the ruins that a tragic battle took place here.
His spiritual consciousness felt that there was a large Fangshi on the island, so he walked towards the Fangshi. The island is lined with green trees, mixed with the salty sea breeze, which makes Jining feel relaxed and happy.
"There are trees in the south and grass in the north, and my heart longs for them; how can I fly across the endless sea; immortals are ruthless, but they also miss lovesickness; the vast years make it even worse!" A sad voice sounded in Jining's ears.
Jining saw an old man with white beard and hair and a ravaged face sitting on the coastal rocks and singing softly. He was fishing with a fishing rod. The old man's cultivation level was not high, he was just a junior foundation-building monk.
Jining's consciousness glanced at the old man holding the fishing rod. He was curious and walked over.
"Old sir, what kind of fish can be caught without a hook?" It turned out that Jining's spiritual consciousness discovered that the old man's fishing rod did not have a hook, so he asked.
The old man glanced at Jining and replied with a smile on his face: "Why is the fish willing to bite the golden hook? It's all because it's bait. Fish are robbed because of bait. However, how many cultivators are involved in it just for the sake of bait? Where is the danger?"
Jining remembered that he was about to enter Kunwu's secret realm, but what the old man said had another meaning. Somewhat surprised, he then asked: "What the old gentleman said is absolutely true, but both cultivators and monsters need food. How can they maintain a seven-foot body without food?"
After hearing this, the old man looked at the endless sea, sighed and said: "Natural selection, survival of the fittest. Who makes them weak? But no matter who you are, you need to exercise restraint. The sea of desire is boundless, and greed will also make the greedy. Lost in the endless sea of desire."
"Looking at this friend, you came from the Endless Sea. I wonder if you know the current situation in Nanzhou?" the old man then asked.
After hearing this, Jining shook his head and said that he came from Eastern Africa to South Africa. After hearing this, the old man had a dark look on his face. Then he continued fishing by himself.
Jining looked at this weird old man a little strangely, but he didn't want to disturb him anymore, and then headed towards Fang City. Jining learned from other monks that this island was called Liuheng Island. Back then, human monks fought a life-and-death battle with monsters on this island.
The human monks finally guarded the island, and later some of the island-defending monks finally stayed, gradually turning Liuheng Island into the prosperous island it is today.
Because of that war, only monks and few mortals were left in this city. When Jining stepped into Fang City, Jining could feel with his spiritual consciousness that the highest cultivation level in this Fang City was only the cultivation level of Dzogchen in the alchemy stage, which was only slightly higher than himself.
Jining walked into the market and saw a dazzling array of various cultivator shops, but most of them were materials from low-level monsters in the sea, which were of little use to him.
After walking around Jining, we found an inn to stay at.
It has been almost ten years since he was in the Endless Sea this time. Although he has rarely interacted with people since his cultivation, he still feels a little more at ease about returning to a place where humans live.
"Boss, would you like a jug of good wine?" Jining called to the store, and soon the store clerk brought a jug of wine and a few side dishes. Jining poured himself a drink quietly.
"Friend, can you invite Bimou for a drink?" A voice rang in Jining's ears, and then Jining saw a middle-aged monk sitting on the opposite table. His table was already filled with wine bottles. It seemed that He is a greedy person. This middle-aged monk's cultivation level is not high, he is only in the middle stage of foundation building.
He looked at Jining with a smile and said: "Wine is the water for forgetting your worries! What fun is there in drinking alone?", and then sat down at Jining's table minding his own business.
"My surname is Bi, Xiuyu, and I am a monk from Kunyun Qilianbao! Seeing this friend meet me, he should be a fellow Taoist who just came to Liuheng Island. I am not bragging about Bi, although Bi's cultivation level is not high, But he knows a lot of things! At the same time, Bi is also a person who likes to make friends. As long as this friend buys Bi a few drinks, Bi will definitely tell him everything!" the middle-aged monk continued.
Jining smiled and asked the store to bring a few jugs of old wine.
"My friend, do you know that there have been several major events in Kunyun Continent recently, the biggest of which is of course the opening of the Kunwu Secret Realm. I heard that this secret realm will be opened in a few years, no more than ten years at most." The young monk began to talk.
It also made Jining aware of the changes in the Yunshan Ranking, as well as the fact that Holy Son Haotian gave up entering the Kunwu Secret Realm and prepared to attack the Nascent Soul.
The middle-aged monk surnamed Bi, as he said, had a wide range of interests. He talked for several hours and still didn't have enough to say. He only said goodbye to Jining when it was getting late outside.
He also invited Jining to his residence for a chat, and Jining politely came back to bother him when he was free. The monk surnamed Bi left in low spirits.
After the monk surnamed Bi left, Jining returned to the inn room, placed a restraint with the seven-star array, and fell asleep. When Jining woke up, it was already noon on the second day. Jining thought about how long it would be before the Kunwu Secret Realm was opened, so he prepared to walk around the Central Continent. See if you can find any books about ancient writing.
Otherwise, he would have no clue about Shanhaizhu, and he would not be able to practice the four levels of skills behind the Brahma Mingwang Jue given to him by the Holy Son of Mingwang.
Jining stepped out of the inn and prepared to continue walking around the city to see if he could find anything else.
"Old sir, do you have any ancient literature books here?" Jining asked a shopkeeper selling secret techniques.
"Haha, my friend, you have really found the right place. We have many ancient classics in our store, but the price is a bit high and they have not been found by anyone who knows the goods." The old man in the Qi training period with white beard and hair began to brag.
In the end, Jining saw only some pseudo-modern classics. Seeing how difficult it was for the old man to open a shop here, he chose one of these classics and bought it.
After recovering this pseudo-ancient classic, Jining continued to search for it in the market.
"Fellow Daoist Ji, we meet here again today. What a fate!" Yesterday, a middle-aged monk named Bi asked Jining with a smile.
At the invitation of the middle-aged monk named Bi, Jining came to his residence. I'm just a little surprised that his residence is not in Fang City, but in a secret place outside Fang City.
It's a quiet place, but the residence is extremely simple, just a thatched cottage.
"Fellow Daoist Ji, I like to travel, so I stay out for a long time. It doesn't take me too long to come back here, so my residence is a little simpler!" explained the monk surnamed Bi.
As a simple ascetic, Jining himself is a simple person, but he doesn't care about such a simple residence. Follow "Youdu Literature" on WeChat, chat about life, and find close friends~
