Chapter 350 Goodbye Jiang Zuo
Fishing in Sword Pond.
This was Chu Ning's first attempt at fishing directly in the Sword Pond in ten years.
The fishhook fell into the giant sword, and countless fish swam towards the fishhook. Chu Ning pulled the fishhook back and looked at the fish on the hook with regret on his face.
The spiritual sword, which is still of the top-grade magic weapon level, is not his target.
"Use more of the energy of controlling things."
The old man spoke at the side, and Chu Ning nodded. This time, he gave the fishhook five times the original power of controlling objects.
The fishhook was thrown towards the giant sword again, and many fish swam over instantly, but just when these fish approached the fishhook, they suddenly scattered in an instant.
This situation was as if one was suddenly frightened.
Chu Ning squinted his eyes and looked at the sword pool. In the vast waters of the sword pool, a thousand feet away, there was a giant shark swimming slowly towards him.
The giant shark was dozens of feet long and seemed to be swimming very slowly, but after a few breaths it reached the fishhook.
A spiritual sword of the Yuanqi level equivalent to the Divine Transformation Realm.
Chu Ning held the fishing rod tightly with his hand and stared at the giant shark without blinking, watching the giant shark suck the fishhook into its mouth in one gulp.
In an instant, Chu Ning's fishing rod was pulled straight, and a huge force came, making his palm numb.
Even if a spiritual sword of the Yuanqi level is caught on the hook, it does not mean that it can be successfully fished out.
A spiritual sword of this level already has its own consciousness. If you want to fish it out of the sword pool, you have to rely on your own ability.
The energy of controlling objects in Chu Ning's body was continuously transmitted to the fishhook through the fishing rod and fishing line. After coming into contact with the energy of controlling objects, the restless giant shark calmed down a little.
But as soon as Chu Ning pulled the fishing line, the giant shark began to shake its body wildly again.
"Isn't this much Imperial Qi enough?"
Seeing that the giant shark was still not under control, Chu Ning was also a little shocked. The power of the weapon he had just released was enough for him to refine twenty spiritual swords of the highest grade magic weapon level.
Does a Yuanqi-level spiritual sword require so much control energy? However, Chu Ning was just shocked. He understood a truth: the more you pay, the greater the reward.
The more Yuanqi-level spiritual sword requires to control the weapon, the more powerful it will be when he controls it.
The Qi of Controlling Equipment doesn't cost any money. If it's gone, it will just take some time to continue converting it.
After a while, one percent of the energy in Chu Ning's body was drained away, and the giant shark finally calmed down completely.
Chu Ning carefully pulled the fishhook and pulled the giant shark out of the sword pool, and then immediately put the giant shark into the fish basket.
The opening of the fish basket, which was only one foot wide, could accommodate the giant shark that was several dozen feet long.
The fish basket has its own secrets inside. Just like a storage bag, the opening looks small, but inside the opening there is a formation like the Universe in the Sleeves.
After taking back the fish basket, Chu Ning glanced at the giant shark in the basket. As soon as the giant shark entered the basket, the other fish that were swimming recklessly, all avoided the giant shark.
After catching a giant shark, Chu Ning struck while the iron was hot and started casting the hook again.
Next, octopus, manta ray, marlin...
Each of the figures is over ten feet long, and they are all Yuanqi-level spiritual swords.
This fishing journey lasted another thirty years.
During this period, the energy in Chu Ning's body was exhausted several times and then replenished.
In the fish basket, the number of Yuanqi-level spirit fish finally exceeded two hundred.
This day.
Chu Ning continued to cast the hook as usual, waiting for the fish to take the bait.
However, after a while, Chu Ning's pupils shrank. Thousands of feet away from the fishing hook, a huge black shadow was slowly approaching. Wherever the black shadow passed, huge waves rolled up and all the fish retreated.
"What level of spirit sword is this?"
Although he couldn't see the black shadow clearly, Chu Ning was shocked by its size that was over a thousand feet tall.
After fishing for so many years, Chu Ning has also gained experience that the stronger the spirit sword, the larger the fish it transforms into.
"It seems you can't fish anymore."
The old man appeared beside Chu Ning again, looking at the black shadow in the sword pool, his expression became serious.
In the following decades, the old man no longer stayed by Chu Ning's side and no one knew where he went.
"Reel in the hook."
Hearing the old man's words, Chu Ning pulled the fishhook up without any hesitation. And at the moment the fishhook was pulled up, Chu Ning seemed to hear an unwilling roar.
The roar came from the dark shadow in the sword pool.
The roar made Chu Ning's body tremble, and he couldn't control the spurt of blood. The fishing rod in his hand broke into several pieces.
"Is this black shadow a spiritual sword at the Return to Void Realm level?"
Chu Ning looked at the old man in disbelief, and the old man nodded: "The spirit swords in the sword pool devour each other. Over the years, you have fished away many spirit swords at the Yuanqi realm, which attracted the attention of spirit swords of higher levels. After all, you are also stealing food from their mouths."
The spiritual swords in the sword pool continued to grow by devouring, and Chu Ning fished out more than 200 Yuanqi-level spiritual swords, so the spiritual sword rations for the Return to Void Realm would be much less.
"So this shadow is here to cause trouble for me."
"Well, if the fishhook is bitten, you will suffer the full force of the spirit sword, but now you are only slightly scratched by the sword energy."
The old man's words made Chu Ning's mouth twitch. He vomited blood just by being lightly scratched by the sword energy. If he was hit by the spiritual sword, he would be dead instantly.
Now that he was being targeted by a spirit sword in the Return to Void Realm, he could no longer continue fishing for spirit swords. Chu Ning glanced at the number of spirit swords in the fish basket and felt there was nothing to regret.
Over the past few decades, he has caught more than 200,000 magic weapon-level spiritual swords, and most of them are top-grade magic weapon-level. Even the entire Danshan Sect would find it difficult to collect so many top-grade magic weapons.
There are also 230 Yuanqi-level spiritual swords. Just using the Yuqi Jue (Technical Art) to control these spiritual swords requires a huge amount of Yuqi Qi to support them.
The power of the Weapon Control Technique lies in the fact that as long as enough weapon control energy is attached to a weapon, the weapon can be controlled.
However, he only used the Qi of Controlling Instruments as bait to fish up these spirit swords, and he had not yet used the Qi of Controlling Instruments to possess them. It would take a long time just to possess these spirit swords.
Contented.
Chu Ning looked at the old man and said, "Thank you for your care over the years."
"I've said before that I'm helping you just to fulfill my promise. You don't need to thank me."
"Senior, this is a promise made to the ancestors of our sect. It is a reality that I am indebted to you. I wonder if you can tell me my identity."
Seeing Chu Ning's sincere expression, the old man laughed out loud, and with this laugh, huge waves rolled up in the sword pool.
"You don't need to remember me, just remember this Infinite Sword Pond."
The old man's figure disappeared from the spot, and as the old man disappeared, Chu Ning looked above his head. The giant sword hanging in the sky released endless sword energy at this moment.
These sword energies come from all the spiritual swords in the sword pool.
These spiritual swords are excited, cheering, and welcoming the return of someone supreme.
Chu Ning's pupils shrank for a moment, and a possibility occurred to him: Could this senior be the Infinite Sword Pond? Or, could this senior be a supreme being in the sword pond?
"The kindness of the predecessors will be remembered in my heart."
After bowing deeply to the giant sword, Chu Ning put away the fish basket and turned his gaze to the pond. The next moment, he moved quickly and headed downstream of the pond.
Downstream of the pool is a waterfall, and under the waterfall is a huge whirlpool.
Seeing the whirlpool, Chu Ning jumped into it without hesitation.
…
…
"Where is this?"
Looking at the rushing river in front of him, Chu Ning was a little surprised.
Logically speaking, he should have returned to Wuliang Sword Mountain after coming out of the Sword Pond, but when he looked around, he saw a plain without any mountains.
This is not Wuliangjian Mountain.
Chu Ning chose a direction and flew away on his sword while his spiritual awareness began to spread in all directions.
After a cup of tea, Chu Ning stopped in a small town.
This small town has a population of hundreds of thousands, but there are less than a thousand cultivators, most of whom are Qi Condensation and Foundation Establishment cultivators.
"It shouldn't be like this. Am I no longer in the Demon Slayer Realm?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
As the third-ranked domain among the nine central domains, even if it is just a small city, it is impossible for the Demon-Slaying Domain to have only so many cultivators, and it is even more impossible that the strongest one is only in the late stage of foundation building.
Chu Ning spread out his spiritual sense and sensed the teahouses and restaurants in the small town for a long time. Then, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
He was really no longer in the Demon-Slaying Realm, but actually appeared in the Sword-Washing Realm.
The Sword Washing Domain is one of the sixty-four lower domains and is a lower domain affiliated to the Demon Slaughtering Domain.
"Will all disciples who enter the Sword Pond be teleported to the Sword Washing Area, or is my situation special?"
Chu Ning pondered for a moment and did not stay in this small town. Instead, he headed towards the largest city in Xijian Domain.
Sword Washing City.
The largest city in Xijian Domain, it is also the capital of the largest sect in Xijian Domain and the Xijian Dynasty.
Chu Ning suppressed his cultivation at the Jindan realm, and with a slightly changed expression he entered the city.
Almost all those who entered the city were sword cultivators, and each of them carried a spiritual sword on his back.
As the capital of the Xijian Dynasty, Xijian City is very prosperous. Even though the snow is falling, the streets are still crowded with people.
Chu Ning walked to the street and looked at the falling snowflakes with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
There shouldn't be any snow in this kind of weather.
According to the introduction of various domains' forces that he had seen in Dan Domain before, Xijian Domain ranked fifth among the sixty-four lower domains, with four powerful masters in the God Transformation stage alone. As the most powerful dynasty in Xijian Domain, Xijian Dynasty even had a powerful master in the middle stage of God Transformation in charge.
Of course, this information is from two thousand years ago, and the old ancestor of the Xijian Dynasty who was in the middle stage of the Spiritualization Realm is probably no longer around.
Chu Ning’s spiritual sense followed the falling snow and finally arrived at the imperial city.
In the imperial city, four people were confronting each other.
One of them was surrounded by flying snow, and the flying snow in the entire Xijian City was caused by this person.
On both sides of the flying snow man stood two young men, both of whom were in the late Nascent Soul stage, and in front of them stood a middle-aged man.
The man wore a crown and exuded nobility.
Behind the man were hundreds of monks, holding swords and glaring at the three men.
"Why did the three of you come to our Xijian Dynasty?"
Long Jingdao looked at the three people in front of him. Although they were in the late Nascent Soul stage, the pressure from his Spirit Transformation stage had no effect on them.
Long Jingdao can be sure of one thing, these three people are not from Xijian Domain, Xijian Domain cannot train these three people.
Central Region? But behind their Xijian Region is the Slaughter Demon Region and the Infinite Sword Mountain. Apart from the cultivators from the Slaughter Demon Region, cultivators from other regions rarely set foot in Xijian Region, let alone come directly to the Imperial City to cause trouble.
"Nothing. I heard that you have been in the early stage of transformation for many years. I want to learn from you."
The young man in navy blue clothes spoke lightly, but Long Jingdao frowned. A late Nascent Soul stage cultivator wanted to challenge him?
This is really overestimating one's own abilities.
No matter how amazingly powerful the sect behind them is, the Nascent Soul is the Nascent Soul, and the Divine Transformation is the Divine Transformation, and there is an insurmountable gap between the two.
What's more, he has been in the early stage of transformation for a thousand years.
"Don't think too much. I am here to challenge you. If you win, I and the other two will turn around and leave. If you lose, there is no need for the Xijian Dynasty to exist."
Hearing the man's words, the cultivators behind Long Jingdao all had angry looks on their faces, and Long Jingdao's expression also darkened. No matter who these three people were, saying these words in front of a powerful god-transforming cultivator like him was already extremely arrogant.
A Jindan cultivator cannot be insulted by a Yuanying cultivator, not to mention that behind the Xijian Dynasty stands the Wuliang Jian Mountain.
"Then I will see what you are capable of."
Long Jingdao put his hands behind his back, and the aura of a true dragon permeated his body. The aura of a true dragon surged throughout the entire palace, and finally condensed into a long sword above his head.
The long sword is surrounded by golden dragons, exuding a domineering aura.
The Xijian Dynasty commands the entire Xijian Region, absorbing the luck of the entire region and condensing it into the aura of a true dragon. Any member of the Long family who is at the same level is invincible with the aura of a true dragon.
"How dare a mere little dragon act so arrogantly."
The man in navy blue clothes had a look of disdain on his face. He raised his right hand and a tripod appeared above his head.
There were many inscriptions engraved on the body of the tripod, and these inscriptions were shining brightly. The next moment, the sword above Long Jingdao's head seemed to be pulled towards the bronze tripod by an invisible force.
"Na Yun Ding?"
When Long Jingdao saw the bronze tripod, there was a look of disbelief in his eyes.
His long sword was condensed from the luck of the Sword Washing Domain and was not a real spiritual sword. This cauldron could absorb the long sword. Only the legendary treasure that could absorb luck could do that.
This kind of treasure has a unified name: Nayun.
"It seems you came prepared."
Unable to use the power of luck, the many powerful magics of their Long family could not be used. Long Jingdao understood that these people had come to him after careful planning.
"Now, it's your turn to take my sword."
The man in gorgeous clothes chuckled and raised his right hand. A purple sword hovered over the imperial city.
The next moment, the sword fell.
The imperial city was torn apart by sword energy. Long Jingdao's pupils shrank. This sword turned out to be a spiritual sword of Yuanqi level.
There is also the Nayun Ding and the Yuanqi-level spiritual sword.
A sense of fear began to grow in Long Jingdao's heart. It was not that he could not take the sword, but he was afraid of the power behind these three people.
"The Sword Washing Region is the territory of Wuliangjian Mountain. It is not your turn to act recklessly here."
Above the imperial city, the sky was torn apart, and a young man landed in the imperial city in one step.
"What a coincidence, I actually ran into this guy here."
Chu Ning, who was far outside the city, looked at Jiang Zuo falling from the sky with a strange look in his eyes.
Unexpectedly, the first acquaintance he met after coming out of Jianchi was Jiang Zuo.
