Chapter 547 Is This Person Sick?
Surrounded by clouds and mist.
Above the clouds, mountains, rivers, and continents are all suspended.
This is the heavenly realm!
The celestial realm is above the sky.
Boom! Suddenly, there was a sound of thunder, but it was only below the clouds.
Lightning and thunder.
It rained heavily.
In the heavy rain, a thousand-foot-long dragon roared up and, like thunder in the endless dark abyss below, it cut through the rain curtain and rushed into the clouds.
The momentum was magnificent and shocking! However, just when the dragon was only a hundred feet away from the clouds, a sword slashed out from a mountain above the clouds.
This sword was placed across the top of the dragon's head, stopping the dragon's rising momentum.
Roar! The dragon roared, and the torrential rain turned into water arrows that shot upwards, trying to pierce the sword.
Millions of water arrows were fired at the same time, but they were extinguished by the sword energy when they were ten feet away from the long sword, and not even a drop of water was left.
At the same time, the sword's intent was also directed at the dragon.
The thousand-foot-long dragon was cut in half by the sword, and fell downwards, disappearing into the darkness below.
However, just three breaths later, the dragon came back again.
This time, his body became three thousand feet long and he charged towards the sword fiercely.
"Stubborn and reckless!"
A cold voice resounded from the mountain peak, and the long sword that was lying across the clouds no longer emitted sword intent, but instead slashed directly at the dragon.
The dragon was frightened and its body was frozen, unable to move.
Just as the sword was about to fall, a shocking roar suddenly came from the darkness below. The roar made the sword tremble, change direction, and strike the left side of the dragon a thousand feet away.
On the mountain peak above the clouds, a middle-aged man opened his eyes, and his pupils passed through the clouds and fell into the endless darkness.
"You have crossed the border of the Abyss Beast Territory!"
The middle-aged man's cold voice rang out, but there was no response in the endless darkness, and the dragon took advantage of this guy to return to the darkness below.
There was a trace of anger on the man's face, but he soon closed his eyes.
At the same time as the dragon sank into the darkness, a transparent mayfly flapped its wings and flew into the clouds.
…
…
A stone bridge.
Countless mayflies flew over the stone bridge, but were soon crushed.
But even so, the mayflies under the bridge still flew onto the stone bridge one after another, as if there was something about the stone bridge that attracted them.
Not afraid of death.
There was only a mayfly, lying motionless on the surface of the river.
After thirty breaths.
The quiet water surface suddenly became rippled, and a bloody mouth appeared, swallowing the mayfly on the river surface in one gulp.
…
…
Thirty miles of river bank.
A three-meter-long black snake was lying on the grass on the shore and shivering. Not far away from the black snake, Chu Ning was sitting on the ground with a melancholy look on his face.
He was also puzzled.
Did he have an indissoluble bond with the black snake in this life? He was swallowed by this guy Lao Hei in Sanqing Mountain, and then traveled to the Ninth Realm.
Now he entered the sky realm in the form of a mayfly and was swallowed by a black snake. If he had not reached the limit of his life span and regained consciousness while being swallowed by the black snake, he would have most likely become the food of the black snake.
It would be embarrassing if it got out that he was a powerful late-stage Spirit Transformation expert and died at the hands of a black snake that hadn't even established a foundation.
"The difficulty of the Mayfly Transformation lies here. No wonder even the Immortal Demon King, who learned the Mayfly Transformation, only performed two transformations."
Chu Ning smiled bitterly. The risk of this mayfly transformation was too great.
"Get lost."
Looking at the black snake lying in the grass and shivering, Chu Ning scolded it in an unpleasant manner. However, this remark sounded like music to the ears of the black snake, whose intelligence had not yet been fully awakened. Its body slid quickly in the grass, and in the blink of an eye it slipped into the water and disappeared.
Where is this place? Chu Ning knew that this place was most likely the Heaven Realm, but the Heaven Realm was very large, and he had to figure out where he was in the Heaven Realm.
After regaining consciousness, he had the memory of Mayfly's short life and saw the scene where the dragon was killed by sword energy and finally retreated into endless darkness.
At the same time, I also understood why the old senior transformed himself into a mayfly to come in.
The teleportation array of Zifu leads to the Abyss Beast Realm. If one is teleported to the Abyss Beast Realm, one may not be qualified to enter the Heaven Realm. While staying in the Abyss Beast Realm below, one's method of transforming demonic energy may not be able to hide from those terrifying existences.
In the abyss beast realm, there is a high risk of death, and the only way is to go to this heavenly realm.
But it was obvious that the human cultivators of the Cang Tian Realm would not go to the Abyss Beast Domain. If he went from the Abyss Beast Domain to the place where the human cultivators of the Cang Tian Realm lived and crossed the cloud layer, he would be afraid that his identity would be exposed. And according to the third brother, the predecessors of the Ninth Realm had stirred up the situation in the Cang Tian Realm back then. He was afraid that the consequences of exposing his identity as the Ninth Realm would be more dangerous than revealing himself as a disciple of the Shan Sect in the Ninth Realm.
In the Ninth Realm, at least there are the Saint Master and the elders of the Danshan Sect to support him, but there is absolutely no such thing in the Cangtian Realm.
"According to what the old man who was fishing said, Shan Zong has also appeared in Cang Tian Realm. Let's first ask if there are any Shan Zong seniors in Cang Tian Realm. If there are, I can find a backer for myself. It's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree."
Chu Ning didn't expect Shanzong to have a sect address. Shanzong was the same as other sects. Every member of Shanzong existed independently. They entered the gate of Shanzong with great aspirations. It was impossible for them to gather together to fulfill their aspirations.
Chu Ning's spiritual sense spread out, but after a while his brows furrowed. The distance of his spiritual sense was only 70% of the original, which was reduced by 30%.
"The spiritual energy of heaven and earth here is obviously richer, so why is the divine consciousness restricted?"
Chu Ning whispered, and after thinking for a moment, he decided to find someone to ask and understand the situation first.
Ask for directions.
It's a technical job.
This wait lasted for three months.
Chu Ning finally waited for a suitable cultivator here.
A cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
A cultivator at this level can be easily killed by himself. If something goes wrong, the opponent will have no chance to escape after being killed.
Those at a lower level probably don’t know much about the Heaven Realm.
His strength was absolutely amazing, which was why he did not show up to ask questions when facing the Jindan and Huashen cultivators passing by in the past few months.
"Fellow Daoist, please stay."
Sima Li, who was flying, trembled, and the next moment his body turned into a rainbow light and quickly fled into the distance.
Sima Li finally stopped after thirty breaths. With his escape skills, this distance was enough to leave behind cultivators of the same level.
However, the next moment, Sima Li's face turned as bitter as a bitter gourd. When he turned around, a respectful smile appeared on his face.
"Senior, what do you want?"
Looking at the young man who appeared behind him, Sima Li was certain in his heart that this man was definitely in the late Nascent Soul stage, otherwise he would not have been able to follow him so easily.
Chu Ning looked at the middle-aged man with interest. He ran away the moment he heard his voice. He was either a coward or a man with a story.
Seeing Chu Ning remained silent, Sima Li's heart sank, and he explained, "Senior, to be honest, I was chased by my enemies. I thought you were a helper sent by the enemies, so I didn't dare to stay. I was disrespectful to you, and I am willing to be punished."
"You don't have to do this, Daoist friend. It's me who frightened you."
Chu Ning was very humble, which made Sima Li feel relieved. Fortunately, this senior was still easy to talk to.
"Senior, are you from a small world?"
Sima Li took the initiative to speak, and Chu Ning narrowed his eyes slightly: "Oh, how did you know?"
"The aura on your body is different. Only those who come from the small world and have not been immersed in the pool of transformation will have this aura."
Judging that the other party might be from a small world, Sima Li roughly guessed why the other party called him.
This is to find out about the situation in the heavenly world.
Generally speaking, cultivators from small worlds would appear around the Transformation Pond when they entered the Cangtian Realm, but there were some exceptions where they would appear in other places in the Cangtian Realm.
"Senior, have you discovered that your spiritual awareness here is not as extensive as in the small world you are in?"
"Yes, fellow Daoist, can you help me solve this doubt?" Chu Ning nodded.
"Senior, this is because you came from a small world. The spiritual energy in your body contains impurities, which is incompatible with the Heavenly World. As long as you soak in the Huachi and wash away the impurities in your body, there will be no such problem."
"Then where is this pond?"
"There are more than ten Huachi in the Cangtian Realm, and the nearest one is a month's journey away."
Sima Li pointed out the direction to Chu Ning and introduced some things about the Cangtian Realm to Chu Ning in great detail, like a dedicated tour guide.
The division of cultivation in the Cang Tian Realm is the same as the Nine Realms before the Spirit Transformation, except that there is no Return to Void Realm in the Cang Tian Realm. Above the Spirit Transformation is the Cave Void Realm, and after the Cave Void Realm is not the Cang Tian Realm as Chu Ning imagined, but the Cang Tian level.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
As for why the word "level" was used instead of "realm", Sima Li was not sure. At his level, he could not touch the powerful people at the blue sky level.
In fact, the Cang Tian Realm is so large that many cultivators may never meet a Cang Tian-level strongman in their entire lives.
The strong men of the Cang Tian level have a long lifespan, and one retreat is equivalent to the entire life of a cultivator below the Divine Transformation stage.
In the Cang Tian Realm, Cang Tian-level strongmen rarely show up. According to Sima Li, he has never heard of a Cang Tian-level strongman taking action in his entire life.
"Thank you for letting me know, fellow Taoist."
Chu Ning expressed his gratitude and raised his right hand, and a bottle of medicine appeared in his hand.
"It's just a token of gratitude. There's a sixth-grade elixir inside. Fellow Daoist, don't refuse it."
"How can this be possible?"
Sima Li said he was sorry, but the excitement on his face betrayed him.
Sixth-grade elixirs are not cheap in the Cangtian Realm. With his strength in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, it's not that he can't afford them, but if he buys them, all his accumulation over a hundred years will be drained out.
Generally, if a casual cultivator like him who has no sect background wants to buy sixth-grade elixirs, he will find a few casual cultivators to buy it together. After buying a bottle of elixir, the few cultivators will divide it among themselves according to their investment.
"Take it, you deserve it."
"Then I will be disrespectful to refuse."
Sima Li accepted the medicine bottle and did not look at the medicine inside. Instead, he pondered for a moment and said, "If you want to go to the Huachi, I can accompany you. I have a good friend who works in the Huachi."
"Okay, then I'll trouble you, fellow Taoist. What's your name?"
"Junior Sima Li, what is your name, senior?"
"Ji Yang."
…
…
Fifteen days later, Chu Ning's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he immediately asked Sima Li beside him, "Among the enemies you mentioned, is there one riding a black cloud mount?"
"That person is called Black Cloud Old Demon." After Sima Li answered, he suddenly asked in confusion: "Senior, how do you know?"
"They are already here."
Sima Li was stunned after hearing Chu Ning's answer, and looked around cautiously: "Senior, this is my own grudge, I will not involve you. As long as you continue in this direction, you will reach the Huachi."
After saying that, Sima Li was about to use his escape technique to leave. He wanted to escape before Black Cloud Demon and others surrounded him.
Sima Li's actions made Chu Ning look at him with admiration. With a "senior" like him by his side, if he were Sima Li, he would not run away. Using the "senior's" hand to kill the enemy would be the best option.
Sima Li's behavior either shows that he is a cunning person who has a deep understanding of people's hearts and is taking a strategy of advancing in order to retreat, or he is really a simple person who doesn't think so much at all.
After spending fifteen days together, Chu Ning knew that Sima Li was a casual cultivator, but how could a casual cultivator be so simple? In the end, Chu Ning let Sima Li leave, and he continued on his way.
However, ten breaths later, Chu Ning stopped and looked at the black clouds blocking the way ahead.
The dark clouds rolled in and quickly spread all around, feeling extremely depressing.
"Your Mightiness……"
"roll!"
Without waiting for the old man in the black cloud to finish his words, Chu Ning shouted softly, and the black cloud instantly dissipated for the most part, revealing the panicked expressions of the three old men.
"Senior, please calm down. The three of us are just... just passing by."
The three of Black Cloud Demon were extremely terrified. They sensed through their spiritual sense that Sima Li was with this man not long ago. When they arrived, they found that Sima Li had already run away, so they prepared to capture Sima Li's accomplice and force him to tell them his whereabouts.
Although Sima Li's realm is only the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, he has mastered a technique of escape and his speed is extremely fast. Unless one is a cultivator in the late stage of the Nascent Soul, once he uses the technique of escape, no one can catch up with him.
The three of them never imagined that the person with Sima Li would be a powerful god-transforming master.
In fact, it is not the fault of the three people, Black Cloud Demon, for they sensed that Sima Li had run away.
Since he ran away, he must have known that he was no match for the three of them. This also made them estimate the strength of the young man next to Sima Li to be below the middle Nascent Soul stage.
The three of them were filled with fear and speechlessness at the moment. Maybe Sima Li was sick.
With such a strong person by your side, why are you running? Aren't we the ones who should run?
Your running away caused us to misunderstand.
Chu Ning smiled. He suddenly thought of a possibility. Sima Li was not retreating by advancing, nor was he being simple-minded. Instead, he had another better solution.
This trick is called killing with a borrowed knife.
…
Thousands of miles away.
Sima Li also showed a triumphant smile on his face.
He understood the temperaments of the three Black Cloud Demons. Given their temperaments, if they found out that he had escaped, they would definitely go out of their way to cause trouble for Senior Ji, and the end result would be a complete failure.
After spending fifteen days with this Senior Ji, he felt more and more that his original judgment was wrong. This Senior Ji was very likely a great master who had reached the state of Divine Transformation.
Although most of the cultivators coming from many small worlds are in the Nascent Soul stage, there are also a few in the Spirit Transformation stage.
His plan could be said to be perfect, because Senior Ji was unable to vent his anger on him.
"Forget it. After all, Senior Ji was used. I will send a message to my friend in Huachi and ask him to take care of Senior Ji."
Sima Li whispered, took out a paper crane from the storage bag, and gestured on the paper crane with his right hand. After a dozen breaths, the paper crane turned into a ray of light and floated in a certain direction.
After doing all this, more than ten breaths later, Sima Li checked his surroundings and breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he realize that his entire lower body was wet.
Oh my god, it’s a good thing that I remedied the problem in time, otherwise I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to stand here intact now.
Just now, he felt himself being locked by a breath.
He was very familiar with this aura; it was exactly that of Senior Ji.
As a casual cultivator, being able to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage naturally requires some extraordinary qualities. When Sima Li was in the Golden Core stage, he swallowed a special elixir that made him extremely sensitive to scents.
Even though Senior Ji had concealed his aura, he was still able to catch a glimpse of it.
This time, he was even more certain that this Senior Ji was at the Spirit Transformation Realm. He was able to eliminate the three Black Cloud Demons so quickly and find him, which could not be achieved by someone other than the Spirit Transformation Realm.
He said this deliberately for Senior Ji to hear.
After he let the paper crane fly away, Senior Ji's aura disappeared. It was obvious that his final remedy had worked, otherwise he would have been in great danger.
This Senior Ji obviously reacted and came to find me.
It’s not a good place to stay for long!
Sima Li turned into a rainbow light and disappeared in another direction.
After Sima Li disappeared, Chu Ning appeared at the place where Sima Li disappeared. Looking at Sima Li's departing back, Chu Ning smiled and said, "What an interesting little guy."
