Chapter 92: Nine Soul-Snatching Scrolls
As time went on, cold sweat began to break out on Su Qingwu's forehead.
To fight against the invisible resistance arising from the darkness, not only spiritual power is consumed, but also consciousness.
Now the mysterious stone bottle is in the sea of consciousness. Whenever her consciousness is about to be exhausted, the stone bottle will spontaneously emit a layer of spiritual light to replenish it.
The condensation of the seal lasted for a whole day and night.
After hundreds of failures, Su Qingwu finally realized something.
When you break the existing physical limits, a lot of resistance will be dissipated in that instant.
On the 999th attempt, success was finally achieved!
The Dharma seal was formed smoothly, and at that moment, a huge suction force formed from the landscape painting.
The newly formed seal was instantly sucked into the scroll, and then the entire scroll flew into the air.
Su Qingwu stared at the scene, his eyes full of curiosity.
The mountains and rivers that were originally visible in the scroll slowly disappeared, and were replaced by nine golden cages.
After these cages appeared, a layer of dazzling golden light slowly emerged from the entire painting, lingering around and condensing without dispersing.
Su Qingwu was puzzled and was about to convey his thoughts to Xuanqing, when at this moment, some information related to this object appeared in his sea of consciousness.
The Nine Soul-Seizing Scrolls can collect the souls of all living beings in the world. Once one is inside the scroll, he or she will be controlled by the owner of the scroll for the rest of his or her life and cannot resist.
This treasure has now automatically recognized its master.
As for the grade, just like the mysterious stone bottle, it is currently unknown.
Upon hearing the news, Su Qingwu was extremely shocked.
Aside from its power, this treasure can be said to be both good and evil, and its origin is unknown.
When asked Xuan Qing, there was no specific answer.
After a long time, she calmed down, stretched out her hand and waved at the scroll, which instantly flew in front of her.
No matter what its origin is, it is a rare treasure after all. If you encounter a strong enemy in the future, it will definitely come in handy.
After putting away the treasure, Su Qingwu remembered the promise she made to her classmate Ru.
Now that the time was almost up, she immediately left the Yuqing Mirror space and went to the outside world.
At noon that day, the two of them headed west from Baihua Valley according to their original plan.
After about three incense sticks passed, we arrived at the Linghe Sect's sphere of influence.
There were many beast-raising industries nearby, so Su Qingwu stopped here for a while and spent two hundred spirit stones to buy a small fire beast. He then sold all the useless things he got from the enemy and earned ten thousand spirit stones.
The Linghe Sect focuses on taming beasts. The closer you get to the mountain gate, the louder the roars of various beasts and birds.
Along the way, Su Qingwu encountered many beast-controlling monks, each of whom was followed by spirit beasts of varying sizes and shapes.
After a long time, she discovered a problem.
There was a hint of fear in the eyes of these spirit beasts when they looked at her.
She couldn't help but think of the boy's expression when she bought the Fire Beast. It was only after the contract was signed that he became closer to her.
If one or two of them are like this, it may be accidental, but if all of them are like this, it is enough to explain some problems.
After Su Qingwu performed the Tongxuan Xixi Jue, no cultivator or spirit beast or demon beast could tell her true level of cultivation. With only the fourth level of Qi Refining realm that she displayed, it was impossible for them to feel afraid.
To put it another way, even if the true state of mind is revealed to the outside world, it shouldn't be like this.
Among the many spirit beasts she encountered, there were a few in the late second stage or even at the peak, and their realm alone was higher than hers.
However, these spirit beasts also showed a sense of fear.
Because of this, some beast-control monks noticed her, but they didn't say anything, they just looked at her curiously.
After much thought, Su Qingwu could only attribute this change to the Nine-Capture Soul-Snatching Scroll.
After all, this treasure had never encountered a similar situation before it recognized its master.
On the side, Nian Ru also discovered something.
Although she was curious, she did not ask.
As a casual cultivator, she has been practicing all the way through hard work and she knows very well what to ask and what not to ask.
......
Going west from Linghe Sect and passing through a lush ancient forest, you will reach the Danxia Sect's sphere of influence.
This school is both familiar and unfamiliar to Su Wen.
After a thousand years, she came here again, but her heart was not at peace.
The revenge taken during one's lifetime has not been taken, and the hatred hidden deep in one's heart will always exist.
Su Qingwu knew Xiao Suwen's concern. After discussing with Nianru, they found an inn nearby, stayed there for a few days, and inquired about some information.
In the end, it was learned that Su Wen's enemy Ning Feng had achieved the perfection of the Golden Elixir eight hundred years ago and successfully went to the upper realm.
However, most of Ning Feng's descendants did not have a good ending.
Over the past few hundred years, nearly 80% of the people have died in various revenge killings or accidents, and the remaining 20% seem to have changed their identities.
Anyway, nowadays, no one in the Danxia sect has ever claimed to be the descendant of Ning Feng.
This elder who has ascended to the universe many years ago does not have a good reputation in this world.
There is a rumor that he did too much evil and although he has not yet received retribution himself, part of the retribution has already been suffered by his descendants.
When he heard the news, Su Wen was silent for a long time.
She could probably guess where these rumors came from.
She was harmed by this man in the past, and many cultivators in Danxia Sect knew about it. It was normal for some fellow disciples to reveal some things to the outside world after this beast ascended to heaven.
As for what happened to her descendants, whether it was karma or someone's secretive actions, she was happy to see it happen.
A thousand years have passed, and the Danxia School is no longer what she remembered.
Su Wen looked from a high place and found that the overall layout had changed a lot.
The mountain where she once lived has been flattened and turned into a bamboo forest.
As for the place where Ning Feng originally lived, although it is still preserved, it now looks very desolate, overgrown with weeds and no one takes care of it.
None of the disciples this man accepted in his early years had a good ending, and the inheritance they left behind has long been lost.
The enemy has gone to the upper realm, and Su Wen has no intention of taking any revenge against the Danxia Sect.
Not to mention that she is not strong enough now, even if she is strong enough, she will not do this.
Every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor. In the past, except for Ning Feng, the rest of the Danxia sect just watched the victim die without helping. It can also be said that they were trying to protect themselves.
Anyway, I don't have any big grudge against her.
Su Wen told Su Qingwu exactly what was in his mind.
After he had said it all, the resentment that had arisen in his heart as he returned to his hometown and recalled his past experiences dissipated a lot, and he regained his calm.
......
During the few days in the Danxia sect's territory, Nian Ru knew that Su Qingwu was busy, so she did not disturb him. She wandered around the various towns alone during the day and returned to the inn at night to meditate and practice.
On the fifth day, the two reunited and set off for the Loose Cultivator Alliance.
On the way, they encountered several groups of monks fighting. Some of them were short-sighted and took action first, but were easily defeated by Su Qingwu, who took the opportunity to obtain some spoils.
As night fell, the two arrived at their destination.
The Loose Cultivator Alliance was established in a stretch of undulating mountains. The leader of the alliance was in the late Jindan stage of cultivation and was also the most powerful person in the alliance.
The five deputy leaders are all in the Jindan stage.
The remaining members' cultivation levels are all below the Golden Core level.
Arriving at the Loose Cultivator Alliance means that the original agreement has been fulfilled.
Nian Ru knew that she was able to return safely all the way because of Su Qingwu's presence, so she wanted to repay him.
After much thought, he finally took out the secret map he had...
