Chapter 372 Dao Soul Lock
Battle of Dan City.
For the cultivators in the Central Region, this is a turning point.
In the following years, two geniuses who had reached the level of Divine Transformation appeared in the Central Region and emerged victorious from challenges from the Upper Region.
On the spiritual internet, some cultivators called Chu Ning's battle at that time the Battle to Change the Destiny of the Central Region.
Chu Ning's battle changed the fortune of the Central Region, overpowering the Upper Region, which led to the subsequent victories.
This statement is of course nonsense. The reason why these people from the Central Region were able to win is because of their strong personal strength.
But on the spiritual network, this statement was recognized by many people, which showed one thing: Chu Ning’s prestige in the Central Region was very high and a personal cult had already been created.
For this reason, Chu Ning specially published an article on Lingwang to clarify, saying that the victory was due to the strength of these Taoists themselves, and it had nothing to do with him, and he hoped that everyone would not attribute it to him.
However, a subsequent analytical article by Lingwang Baixiaosheng brought him to the forefront again.
On the Significance of the Battle of Chu Ning Dan City
Bai Xiaosheng mentioned one point in this article. Since the battle of Dan City, the geniuses in the Upper Domain no longer acted so recklessly, and after being defeated once, they did not allow others to challenge them again. A big part of the reason was because of Chu Ning.
Chu Ning is in the Nascent Soul stage. The geniuses from the Upper Domain cannot challenge Chu Ning, but Chu Ning can challenge these geniuses from the Upper Domain, which puts the geniuses from the Upper Domain into a passive position.
If they go too far and arouse public anger, I'm afraid Chu Ning will challenge them.
With the strength displayed by Chu Ning, except for those saints and princesses, other geniuses are no match for Chu Ning.
Chu Ning, with his own strength, changed the situation of the battle for luck between the geniuses of the Upper and Central Regions.
As soon as the article came out, all the cultivators in the Central Region expressed their approval, which once again raised Chu Ning's prestige.
"That's a bit too much. This is not the way to flatter someone."
Chu Ning logged into the spiritual network and sent a private message to Yun Anlan.
After a while, Yun Anlan replied: [This is the request of your Danta Association, and your leader has agreed.]
What is the Danta Society’s request?
Chu Ning hesitated. Was Danta trying to build momentum for himself?
"Master, is it too high?" Chu Ning came to the main peak and said to the Master with a wry smile.
"It's just the thing, it's not exaggerated, and it's good for you."
Xie Jingxing smiled slightly. The know-it-all on Lingwang was from Sihai Trading Company. This article was indeed written by Sihai Trading Company at Danta’s request. He had read it before publishing it and found no major problems.
"Master, you know I am a low-key person. I don't want to be so high-profile."
Chu Ning was somewhat helpless. Xie Jingxing snorted, "You are still keeping a low profile. Do you know what your nickname is outside now?"
"What?"
"Chu Kuang Ren!"
Chu Ning: “?”
What does the madman have to do with me? I don’t write a diary.
The world has misled me so much.
"Master, I have damaged my image for the sake of the sect."
"Don't be so ungrateful. Those flying swords must have been taken from the sword pool of Wuliang Sword Mountain."
"Um."
Chu Ning admitted it directly. He was not surprised at all that the sect leader could guess it. It would be strange if he couldn't guess it.
"When you first revealed these flying swords, Helian Weizong questioned me, and I directly retorted, 'If I don't build momentum for you and portray you as a hero of the Central Region, do you think Wuliang Jianshan will be so easy to talk to? The flying swords in this sword pool are their lifeblood.'"
"The sect master has good intentions, and I am ashamed."
"Danta would do this for his own reasons, but this is not a bad thing for you."
"Since you know about this, I am not worried. You love and care for me, so I feel relieved."
Chu Ning flattered him, chatted for a few words, and then left the main peak.
…
…
Three months later.
Chu Ning opened his eyes in the cave, and the next moment his clone appeared outside the mountain formation.
"Elder Qin, why are you here?"
Chu Ning was a little surprised to see Qin Libang. He was in Tangshan, and generally few people came. Even if the sect leader wanted to find him, he would just send a message directly.
"The Sect Master asked me to inform you to go to the main peak."
Qin Libang said with a smile, and Chu Ning nodded: "Okay, I will go with Elder Qin now."
As the two flew through the air, Chu Ning asked curiously, "Elder Qin, is there something important?"
"The Sect Master didn't tell me, so I don't know either."
"So mysterious?"
Chu Ning was a little curious. What did the Sect Master want to talk to him about? Even Elder Qin didn't know? Main Peak.
Seeing Chu Ning coming in, Xie Jingxing said directly: "There is a secret realm of ten thousand furnaces in the Dan domain. The longer you stay in this secret realm, the greater your progress in alchemy will be."
"The Secret Realm of Ten Thousand Furnaces?"
"Well, this time Danta will choose to open the Ten Thousand Furnaces Secret Realm. There are only a few places available, and you happen to be one of them. Now follow me to the entrance of the secret realm."
"So eager?"
Shouldn't I give myself some time to prepare? "Danta will make a temporary decision. This secret realm is not dangerous, so there is no need to make any preparations."
Xie Jingxing seemed to know what Chu Ning was thinking and gave an explanation.
"Then disciple, please go back to the cave to get something. I don't even have a storage bag with me."
"Storage bags are not allowed into the Wanlu Secret Realm. There is no need to go back. Just follow me."
Xie Jingxing raised his hand, and a flying boat landed outside the main hall of the main peak. Chu Ning was silent for a few breaths, and finally nodded and followed his sect master onto the flying boat.
…
Thinking of Tangshan.
Chu Ning's real body opened his eyes, glanced at the storage bag beside him, and finally took out the spiritual network pass from it.
His intuition told him that the sect master's behavior was a little strange, and even if he wanted to let him enter the Wanlu Secret Realm, he shouldn't be so anxious.
After entering the spiritual network, Chu Ning took a few glances and his expression turned completely cold.
An hour later, Chu Ning's real body left Nian Tangshan for the first time.
…
…
Fire Lotus Mountains.
The mountains are red, the clouds in the sky are also red, and the entire mountain range is scorched earth, without a trace of green.
"The entrance to the Wanlu Secret Realm is right here. Inside this Wanlu Secret Realm are the alchemy marks of alchemy masters from all generations in the Dan Domain, including the Saint Master. Any mark will help your alchemy attainments. Learn from it and don't waste this opportunity."
Xie Jingxing reminded Chu Ning that every alchemist in the Dan Domain would be recorded by the Wanlu Secret Realm and turned into a Dan Mark when they were taking the sixth-grade, seventh-grade, or even grandmaster assessments.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
By entering the Wanlu Secret Realm, you can capture these elixir marks and see the detailed process of these predecessors' elixir refining. If you are lucky, you can even put yourself in the perspective of the alchemist, which is equivalent to experiencing the process of refining high-level elixirs. This is of great help to improve your alchemy level.
"Master, rest assured, I will definitely cherish this opportunity."
"Um."
Watching Chu Ning walk into the mountains, until his figure disappeared in the depths of the mountains, the smile on Xie Jingxing's face faded.
"Master, I'm afraid Chu Ning will be resentful towards you if he finds out about this."
Qin Libang appeared at the side, looking a little worried. Xie Jingxing shook his head slightly and said, "When Chu Ning finds out the truth, he will blame me. I can only bear it. At least, I can't let Chu Ning know about this at this time."
This matter involved both the Soul Palace and the Jiuxiao Holy Land, and he knew Chu Ning. Once he knew about this, he would never let it go. It was not that Danshan Sect would not protect Chu Ning, but he was afraid that Chu Ning would be too impulsive and the matter would end up in a state of disarray.
The sect has old seniors in charge, but the Jiuxiao Holy Land also has strong men in the Dongxu Realm. As for the Soul Palace, it is even more so. As the leader of the five upper domains, the three palace masters are all strong men in the Dongxu Realm.
He didn't know why the Soul Palace intervened, but the Jiuxiao Holy Land was trying to lure Chu Ning into taking action, so he had to stop it.
For this purpose, he contacted the Danta Society and asked them to open the Wanlu Secret Realm and send Chu Ning into the secret realm. As long as Chu Ning did not go on the spiritual network and stayed in the Wanlu Secret Realm for dozens or hundreds of years, the purpose of the Jiuxiao Holy Land would fail.
…
…
Taiyuan Domain.
Taiyuan Peak.
On a certain mountain peak, Zhao Qin was lying on a rattan chair with a dull expression. If you look closely, you can see that his trouser legs are empty.
On the huge rock on the mountain outside the courtyard, an old man with an angry face stood in front of Ouyang Tingjing.
"Master, are we going to let this matter go? I cannot swallow this anger!"
"Elder Huo, I am also angry. Zhao Qin is your direct disciple and also an extremely outstanding disciple of Taiyuan Peak. If possible, I would also like to chop Qian Zhen to pieces."
There was also a chill in Ouyang Tingjing's eyes. Qian Zhen attacked his Taiyuan Peak's talented disciple, and it was a fatal move, directly crippling Zhao Qin's legs. As the sect leader, he was also angry.
But he is the leader of Taiyuan Peak, and he has to consider the entire Taiyuan Peak.
Qian Zhen's attack on Zhao Qin was completely in line with the rules of this challenge. As for his ruthless attack, it did not violate the rules.
This situation has never occurred before, because before each challenge, there are strong people from the sect protecting them and able to stop them in time.
But this time, Jiuxiao Holy Land had clearly set a trap for Zhao Qin, luring Zhao Qin away from Taiyuan Peak. When he was challenged, there was no strong person from the sect accompanying him.
"Zhao Qin was implicated by Chu Ning. Jiuxiao Holy Land wanted to use Zhao Qin to lure Chu Ning out. The leader of Danshan Sect has already informed me that he will ask the Saint Master in Danyu to refine the Nine Revolutions Resurrection Pill for Zhao Qin, so that Zhao Qin's legs can be reborn."
The old man fell into silence. When one reaches the realm of transformation, it is not difficult to regenerate severed limbs, but the legs of his disciple were tainted by the Dao Soul Lock unique to the Soul Realm, and could never be restored.
Only the top-grade Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill among the eighth-grade pills can remove the Dao Soul Lock, but looking at the entire Central Region, the only one who can refine the top-grade Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill is the Saint Master in the Pill Region.
But that senior saint master hasn't shown up for thousands of years. Even if the leader of Danshan Sect came to ask for help, no one can guarantee whether he can refine it.
The old man and Ouyang Tingjing both knew that the reason why the leader of Danshan Sect was so concerned was because Zhao Qin was targeted by Jiuxiao Holy Land entirely because of Chu Ning.
Qian Zhen wanted to use Zhao Qin to force Chu Ning to take action, but the leader of Danshan Sect obviously did not intend to let Chu Ning take action, so he went to ask the Saint Master for help.
"Chu Ning can't be blamed for this."
Although the old man was angry because his disciple's legs were broken, he did not lose his mind.
"I estimate that the leader of Danshan Sect will not let Chu Ning leave the sect before the end of this challenge period."
Ouyang Tingjing could guess Xie Jingxing's behavior, and if he were in his place, he would do the same thing as Xie Jingxing.
But just as Ouyang Tingjing finished speaking, his expression became strange, and the old man's expression also changed two breaths later.
Taiyuan Peak, a figure is coming towards the peak.
Did I guess wrong? Ouyang Tingjing was surprised. Danshan Sect actually asked Chu Ning to come to Taiyuan Peak.
"Master Ouyang, I am here to meet Zhao Qin."
When Chu Ning arrived at the top of the mountain, he also saw Ouyang Tingjing and the old man. He did not know the old man, but he had seen Ouyang Tingjing.
"Zhao Qin is in the yard, go ahead."
Ouyang Tingjing nodded, and Chu Ning politely bowed to the two of them before walking towards the yard.
“You’re here.”
Zhao Qin saw Chu Ning and smiled: "Now you are right, I was beaten up. You can wait until you break through to the middle stage of the Spiritualization Realm, and then you can avenge me."
"This leg won't heal?"
Chu Ning looked at Zhao Qin and asked, "Is the first legless god finally going to be born?"
"Get lost!"
Zhao Qin rolled his eyes at Chu Ning. Chu Ning stared at Zhao Qin with some disdain: "You haven't listened to a word I said in all these years, and you fell into someone else's trap?"
Chu Ning only knew from the spiritual web that Zhao Qin's legs were crippled by Qian Zhen. This news was revealed on the spiritual web by someone from Jiuxiao Holy Land, but the specific details were not available on the spiritual web.
Neither Taiyuan Peak nor Zhao Qin responded on the spiritual network, and the people from Jiuxiao Holy Land simply said categorically that there was no possibility of Zhao Qin's legs recovering.
"I couldn't help it."
Zhao Qin smiled bitterly: "It's too embarrassing, I won't say anything."
