Chapter 251 Shen Luoyan's Invitation
Time flies, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Ning Daoran is 173 years old this year. Although he is getting older, he still looks like a teenager.
At this time, the time of intensive practice has reached 250,000 years.
It is also time to strive for a higher level of Changqing Jue and derive a more complete Changqing Jue. After all, Changqing Jue is the real cornerstone of his cultivation.
Inside the cave, he sat cross-legged, slowly entering a state of intensive cultivation of time. His mind sank slightly, and he transformed into a savage sitting quietly in the wilderness.
[In the first year, you began to try to deduce a more complete Evergreen Secret, but you still had no clue. You left the mortal world and went to the mountains to look for what you wanted.]
[In the 84,000th year, an autumn rain fell. You sat quietly on a dead tree, listening to the sound of raindrops hitting the leaves. Deep in your heart, you felt calm, as if you had turned into a green tree, enduring the wind and rain with the world. The confusion in your heart was also diluted a little at this moment.]
[146,500 years. After years of practice, you have become a part of the jungle. Your body is covered with vines, your face is covered with moss, and even hares build nests in your arms. You have achieved the great harmony between man and nature.]
[Until one day, a hungry jungle wolf snuggled up to you, pretending to join you, and then took advantage of your meditation to swallow a hare in one gulp. You slapped it to death with one palm, and your state of mind was slightly shaken.]
[In the past 24600 years, the world has gone through countless dynasties, but the mountains and forests have continued to repeat themselves year after year]
[You hear the roar of machinery, see overwhelming flying machinery flying through the air, and see a large number of shells exploding around you, but you don't move at all]
[You also see a huge mushroom cloud rising from the nearby mountains, and the light of destruction covers everything]
[Thousands of years later, you can even see radiation-mutated giant beasts running rampant in the mountains. Amid the roar of engines, humans hiding in the mountains manipulate dozens of feet high mechas to fight the giant beasts.]
[When civilization disappears, when the giant beasts turn into huge skeletons across the mountains, when the mechas lie rusty under the trees]
[You finally understand in your heart that the so-called evergreen is eternal! ]
[You have derived: Eternal Evergreen Art. Heavenly Grade Top Grade]
[Eternal Youth Secret. Heavenly Grade Top Grade (Twenty-first Floor)]
[Time remaining for intensive practice: 54,244 years]
…
"call……"
Ning Daoran woke up from his time of intensive cultivation and immediately felt a majestic and lush energy spreading from deep within his body. This was a power completely different from the ordinary Changqing Jue. Although it was also wood-attributed spiritual power, it had undergone a qualitative change and belonged to a higher level of existence.
Evergreen, the name sounds very cool!
At this time, Ning Daoran's body was constantly being transformed by the Eternal Green Art. The strength of his wood-attributed magic power had increased by at least 30% compared to before, which could be described as a qualitative leap.
In addition, after obtaining the Art of Eternal Youth, one's lifespan is also greatly improved!
Although the skill was only upgraded by one level, his life span increased by 250 years. With the effect of the longevity pill, his total life span reached a terrifying 2,480 years! It was no problem for him to outlive the old ancestor who had reached the state of transformation.
Ning Daoran felt the changes in his cultivation a little bit. Although the Changqing Jue had been transformed into the Eternal Changqing Jue, it was only an improvement in the "skill" and had a very limited effect on his own cultivation. However, even so, his magic power had improved a lot, and he was getting closer and closer to the middle stage of the Golden Core.
Before the age of two hundred, one must enter the middle stage of the Golden Core!
Although the speed of breaking through the levels is not fast, it is important to be steady so as not to be stuck in a certain realm for years without being able to make any progress. With his current progress, entering the Nascent Soul stage is only a matter of time.
Ning Daoran slowly stood up and brushed off the dust on his body. His entire temperament changed slightly due to his acquisition of the Eternal Youth Art.
"Old Deer, pack up and prepare to return. We are going back to White Dragon Fairy City!"
Some time ago, a few paper figures brought back news from the White Dragon Fairy City.
The news that Jianjia Sanren was roaming around the Tianluo Sea and was being hunted down by a Yuanying stage cultivator had spread, and everyone knew about it.
Besides, the fact that Master Ning Zhen had been out to sea and had not returned did not attract other people's attention. After all, for cultivators, especially those who had reached the Golden Core stage, a few years passed in the blink of an eye, and it was common for them to stay outside for a few years because of chance.
As for the Xu family, it is said that the ancestor of the Xu family has been in seclusion since returning to his ancestral land, and no news has been heard from him.
At this time, the opportunity to return to Bailong Immortal City has matured.
…
"set sail!"
An hour later, the White Deer set sail and began its return journey westward.
The sky is high and the sea is vast, and the breeze is gentle.
Ning Daoran sat at the bow of the boat, in a good mood.
At this time, the supply of True Blood Pills is sufficient, and he does not have to worry about them for a short period of time. He has already made up his mind. After returning to Bailong Immortal City, he will take orders, refine more formations, and make good use of the many cultivators in Bailong Immortal City.
So, ten days later.
The White Deer sailed against the wind and waves and returned very smoothly. Although it encountered two golden winds, Ning Daoran was quick-witted and changed the course early to avoid them, saving even the need for a wind-avoiding talisman.
The tranquility on the boat lasted until the evening two days later.
“Shua——”
A ray of moonlight cut through the waves and almost instantly approached the White Deer. Although Ning Daoran had released his spiritual sense, the opponent came too fast and he had no time to avoid it.
The person who came was a woman wearing a dark blue flowing cloud skirt, with a bun on her head and an exquisite white jade hairpin. There was a flame mark between her eyebrows. One could tell at a glance that she was not someone to be trifled with.
What's even more terrible is that her Nascent Soul aura is much more terrifying than the Nascent Soul aura of the Xu family's ancestor! Of course, the most terrifying thing is that Ning Daoran knows this person! This woman is the one who chopped Ning Daoran with a knife in Qingzhou City and almost wiped out Ning Daoran's soul with a touch of knife intent.
"you……"
Ning Daoran crossed the five fingers of his left hand and instantly pinched out two third-grade top-grade speed talismans. At the same time, he sacrificed the Lingpu Cave Heaven and was about to put the entire Bailu into the Lingpu Cave Heaven.
Everything was done to prepare for escape! "Don't be afraid, we are one of us."
Shen Luoyan stared at him with her beautiful eyes and said, "I am the owner of the Immortal Killing Tower. My name is Shen Luoyan. I am in the late Nascent Soul stage. The last time I was in Qingzhou City was because I killed the imperial court's guarding martial immortal. So I tried to test you with my sword. I hope you don't mind."
That knife strike, and the subsequent pursuit, didn't seem like a test at all!
However... Ning Daoran had witnessed the hunting ability of the ancestor of the Xu family. In comparison... it seemed that Shen Luoyan really let him go at that time. Otherwise, even if he had the Wood Escape Technique and Earth Escape Technique at the level of returning to nature, he might not be able to escape the hunting ability of this late Nascent Soul monster!
If you think about it carefully, what Shen Luoyan released was not water, but the sea.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"you……"
Ning Daoran frowned.
"Can I have a word with you?" Shen Luoyan smiled calmly, "I am an old friend of your great-grandmaster Lin Qing'er. Before she died, she once asked me to not be an enemy of the descendants of the Chaos Sect even if I don't take care of them."
"good."
These words made Ning Daoran feel at ease.
Of course, there is no way to feel uneasy. I am at the mercy of others. If Shen Luoyan really wants to kill him, Ning Daoran might be dead within three moves.
…
Inside the cabin, there are exquisite rooms.
Only Ning Daoran was sitting opposite Shen Luoyan.
Big Dumb Deer, Little White, Little Blackie and the others stayed on the deck. Although they were all nervous, they all knew that their strength could not influence the current situation.
Especially Xiaobai, her brows were furrowed tightly. She knew Shen Luoyan, the owner of the Killing Immortals Tower, who was considered one of the strongest cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness Cultivation World, and a dual cultivator of both magic and body! The Killing Immortals Tower was a very mysterious organization. It was neither an enemy nor a friend of the court. It always maintained a neutral state and attracted a large group of killers. There was a killer list and a bounty list.
It is considered the most mysterious organization in the entire Eastern Wilderness, but it does not have too much ambition.
Otherwise, with what the Aries Demon Queen had done, Shen Luoyan would have already rushed to the Five Sacred Mountains and twisted off the heads of the five demon kings. For her, who was in the late Nascent Soul stage, flattening the Five Sacred Sect would be a piece of cake.
"The ancestor of the Xu family hunted you down three years ago, and I have already reprimanded him."
Shen Luoyan's eyes were as beautiful as water, and she said, "You don't have to worry. He shouldn't embarrass you again. Of course... that may not be the case. People's hearts are hard to predict. There are always things I can't see."
“…”
Ning Daoran trembled all over. If he wasn't worried at this time, something strange would happen.
Shen Luoyan's words undoubtedly told him that she knew that Jianjia Sanren was Ning Daoran!
This also means how terrifying the intelligence system of the Shixian Tower is, and they even know this.
"don’t worry."
Shen Luoyan raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "There are only two or three people in the entire Immortal Killing Tower who know these secrets of yours. They are all my confidants. Without my order, these secrets of yours will not be revealed."
Ning Daoran frowned: "So, why didn't Lord Shen kill me? Is it because my master Lin Qing'er is an old friend of yours?"
"That's not the case."
Shen Luoyan narrowed her beautiful eyes: "Lin Qing'er and I do have a friendship, but it's not so close that I can protect her descendants. The reason why I kept you is simply because you, Ning Daoran, are a good seedling for the Nascent Soul stage, and a rare genius in my Eastern Wasteland Immortal Cultivation World. It would be a pity to get rid of you."
She smiled meaningfully, "I came to see you today precisely for this matter. Ning Daoran, are you willing to join the Immortal Killing Tower? Don't worry, the Immortal Killing Tower is an extremely lazy organization. There are no meetings, no restrictions on practice, and everything is up to you. After joining the Immortal Killing Tower, you will be divided into assassin levels, with the highest level being gold and silver medal assassins, and the offerings are quite generous. You can join the Immortal Killing Tower with your real name, or with a false identity such as Jianjia Sanren, there are no excessive requirements."
"Master Shen..."
Ning Daoran frowned and said cautiously: "If I refuse to join the Immortal Killing Tower, will you kill me?"
"Won't."
"Then I refuse. I don't want to join any organization for the time being."
Shen Luoyan was slightly disappointed. He raised his hand and handed over a jade talisman, saying, "Keep this. You can use this jade slip to view some information about the Immortal Killing Tower. If you change your mind in the future, come to the Immortal Killing Tower to find me."
Shen Luoyan stood up and said, "Let's go. I still have a lot of things to do."
"Farewell, Master Shen!"
Ning Daoran escorted him all the way to the deck, and then saw Shen Luoyan's figure breaking through the wind and disappearing in the blink of an eye. It was too fast. This old monster in the late Nascent Soul stage was so terrifying! (End of this chapter)
