Chapter 554 556 Way to Survive
In the underground secret room of the new house in the outer city of the safe zone, Rong Xianxian flashed and entered the foggy space.
The finished wooden house that Rong Xianxian had ordered earlier has been delivered. It uses spiritual wood that contains spiritual energy. The logs are polished and have a mortise and tenon structure. The wood has a fresh fragrance and beautiful grain. The texture of the wood is very solid. The craftsman who built the wooden house has excellent craftsmanship and built it to be exquisite and solid. The whole house is integrated without any traces of splicing.
The total area of this wooden house is about 200 square meters, with bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens, study rooms, practice rooms and storage rooms. The overall layout of the house was designed by Rong Xianxian herself, and is almost the same as the layout of their home in Chongzhou.
Rong Xianxian also specially asked someone to build a wine cabinet exactly the same as the one in Chongzhou's home. In the wine cabinet were placed the two jars of wine that Ning Qingyun's collection had brought from home by Rong Xianxian. Of the wine in the cabinet that Ning Qingyun had once collected, only these two jars were left.
Rong Xianxian looked at the room which was almost exactly the same as Chongzhou's, feeling a mixture of emotions in her heart. She came to the bedroom and saw Ning Qingyun lying quietly on the bed. His injuries had long been healed, but he was still unconscious.
Rong Xianxian had already made all the necessary preparations, but she was still nervous before the event. She didn't know what Qingyun's current spiritual state was, and whether she could wake him up.
Rong Xianxian took out the soul-guiding wooden thorn that had been sacrificed long ago and stabbed it into Ning Qingyun's arm, successfully transferring her soul into Ning Qingyun's body and finding the sea of consciousness. Rong Xianxian discovered that Ning Qingyun's sea of consciousness was different from the sea of consciousness of the captives she had experimented on. The sea of consciousness of those captives, whether wide or narrow, had flickering light, but although Ning Qingyun's sea of consciousness was very broad, it was gray and looked lifeless.
Rong Xianxian was in a panic. Her sea of consciousness was like a desert. She stumbled and wandered in it, round and round, searching every corner of it, but she did not sense the breath of any soul.
No wonder Ning Qingyun couldn't wake up. This sea of consciousness was empty, without any breath of soul. Even if the soul was injured and fell into dormancy or deep sleep, there shouldn't be no breath at all. What was going on? Where did Qingyun's soul go?
Logically speaking, Qingyun's soul should still be in the body, otherwise, the physical body would not be able to maintain its current state.
Rong Xianxian searched around in her sea of consciousness without giving up. Suddenly, a flash of lightning came towards her head. "Ah!" Rong Xianxian felt a tearing pain in her soul and body. She trembled with pain. At the same time, her eyes went black and the world was spinning. In this situation, Rong Xianxian made a prompt decision and retreated.
"Where is this? Am I not dead?" Ning Qingyun looked at the old man with white hair and beard in front of him in a daze.
"You are not dead yet, but you won't live much longer." The white-haired old man said, stroking his beard.
"What do you mean, senior?" Ning Qingyun asked puzzledly.
"If I hadn't discovered the abnormality of the Sky-Splitting Disk and thrown the Soul-Attached Stone into it, you would have been killed long ago." said the white-haired old man.
"Sky-Splitting Disk, Soul Attached Stone?" Ning Qingyun recalled the scene he saw in the dark room of the Sky-Splitting Disk.
“The Soul-Attached Stone was originally a magical ore that could help divine weapons generate spirits. My great-grandfather added the Soul-Attached Stone when he was refining the Sky-Splitting Disk. Unfortunately, when the Sky-Splitting Disk was formed and born, it was punished by heaven and was congenitally incomplete. The Soul-Attached Stone was also stripped out. In your previous life, you encountered a great change in heaven and earth that you would never encounter according to common sense. The domain was reborn, and the way of heaven was flawed. You activated the Sky-Splitting Disk to reverse time and space, but unfortunately, you were eventually discovered by the way of heaven, which led to the black thunder that will destroy your soul.” The white-haired old man said with great emotion.
"If discovered by the Heavenly Dao, will the reversed time and space be affected?" Ning Qingyun asked anxiously.
"You are worried that the reborn person will be discovered by the Heaven. Don't worry, it is you who will bear the consequences of defying the Heaven and changing your fate. It will have no impact on the reborn person." The white-haired old man sighed and shook his head.
The Sky-Splitting Disk was sealed for tens of thousands of years before a new owner was chosen. Ning Qingyun had incredible talent, and even in the fairy world he was a genius picked out of a million. Unfortunately, his attempt to change his fate was retaliated by the heavens, and his foundation was destroyed. He feared that he would not be able to follow the right path of cultivation.
"That's good that there is no impact!" Ning Qingyun ignored the old man's sigh and breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that it would not affect Rong Xianxian.
“With your qualifications, if you had embarked on the path of cultivation, you could have enlightened your mind and attained enlightenment, gained powerful strength, and even transcended the cycle of life and death and maintained eternal youth. However, you chose to help others and ended up in this situation where you are about to die. Don’t you regret it?” the white-haired old man asked him.
"I don't regret it. If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have been killed by Gong Hanyu in her previous life. I owe her this. Besides, if I lost her, what would be the point of me enlightening my mind and staying young forever?" When Ning Qingyun reversed time and space, he saw what happened to Rong Xianxian in her previous life. She felt so helpless and sad, so collapsed and desperate. At that time, he finally understood why Xianxian was so determined not to return to him.
"Oh, another lovesick guy!" The white-haired old man had no idea what he was thinking about, and looked at Ning Qingyun with a complicated expression.
Ning Qingyun looked around, as if it was shrouded in a layer of fog. Apart from the white-haired old man in front of him, he could not see anything clearly.
"Senior, where am I now? Who are you? Why did you save me?" Ning Qingyun asked belatedly.
“You are now in the Sky-Splitting Disk, which was made by the great master of my sect. If there was no Sky-Splitting Disk, you would not have suffered the backlash of Heaven. Given this cause and effect, I cannot just stand by and watch you die. I have come here with this strand of mental power attached to the Soul-Attached Stone to show you a way to survive.” The white-haired old man said, twirling his beard.
"A way out, senior, do you mean that I still have a way out?" Ning Qingyun couldn't help but get excited after hearing what the white-haired old man said.
“That’s right. The Soul Attached Stone was originally a part of the Sky-Splitting Disk. It was only because the Sky-Splitting Disk was too against the will of Heaven that the Soul Attached Stone was stripped out of the Sky-Splitting Disk by Heaven. Previously, the Sky-Splitting Disk was struck by the Heavenly Punishment Thunder and was almost scrapped. Under such circumstances, I threw the Soul Attached Stone into the Sky-Splitting Disk’s phantom with an attitude of giving it a try. I didn’t expect that the Soul Attached Stone would actually reintegrate with the Sky-Splitting Disk, bringing your severely damaged soul into the Sky-Splitting Disk.” The white-haired old man said with great emotion.
Therefore, the original purpose of the white-haired old man was to save the Sky-Lie Disk that was almost scrapped.
"Then how can I leave here and return to my body?" Ning Qingyun has realized that he is now only a conscious body, so he has a feeling of floating and lost.
