Chapter 189 I Am Enough
Ning Ruoxi had never seen a secret realm that was so monotonous. There was nothing else in it except the starry sky.
Dong Huaqing pondered and said, "Of course I can, but my ancestor disciplined me very strictly. After so many years, I still haven't explored the secret realm completely."
"Thank you so much, Master." Ning Ruoxi thanked Dong Huaqing.
This month, Dong Huaqing was not in a hurry to return to the Tianxuan Mountains because it was near the end of the year and he wanted to stay in the Xiandao Sect.
There may be no such thing as Chinese New Year for monks. Even if there is, they have forgotten about it deep in their bones.
But it is different for the disciples of Xiandao Sect with low cultivation. They have just joined the sect and still have the custom of celebrating the New Year like the mortal world.
Hua Jianyue simply dismissed the disciples. Those who wanted to go home for the New Year were allowed to go back, and those who did not want to go back were allowed to stay in the sect, and each of them was rewarded with a spiritual meal.
Ning Ruoxi looked at the sect decorated with lights and colors. These were not done by the elders, but were done spontaneously by some young disciples.
For monks of high level, these are red tape and are usually not taken seriously.
I remember that the last time Ning Ruoxi celebrated the New Year, she was in Sanxi Village in the Western Regions.
On New Year's Eve, Hanami Yue gathered all the "old acquaintances" from the sect at Tianxiang Peak to drink and eat together. Fan Li and Shangguan Jun were also among the invited guests.
Ning Ruoxi was also present at the dinner table.
Fan Li and Shangguan Jun both looked at Ning Ruoxi with mixed feelings. Their former junior sister had now reached a point beyond their reach.
We are drifting further and further apart from each other...
…….
After the Chinese New Year, Dong Huaqing returned to the Tianxuan Mountains, and Ning Ruoxi also settled in the back mountain of Tianxiang Peak.
On weekdays, only Xia Ran and Nan Chengwen would come. Hua Jianyue came less often. After all, he was the sect leader and some things needed to be handled by him personally.
What Ning Ruoxi usually does is to meditate.
"In addition to the Way of Ice, perhaps I can comprehend the realm of the Way of the Sword..." It is feasible to dual-cultivate the realm of the Way.
Just like Mo Chen, he used the Dao of Divine Calculation and the Dao of Strength in the Dao domain at the same time during battle.
For Yu Mo Chen, the way of divine calculation is the main attack, and the way of strength is the auxiliary, using the way of strength to increase the attack power of the way of divine calculation.
Ning Ruoxi had this idea but was stopped by Lin Shuang, "Disciple, the dual cultivation realm can indeed enhance your strength in the short term, but it will have disadvantages when you cultivate to the realm of Immortal Venerable in the future."
"Master, what are the drawbacks of this?"
"The realm of Immortal Venerable is to transform the realm of Tao into the Great Dao, and what we need to do is to unite our bodies with the Dao. If you have cultivated multiple realms of Tao, what you need to do then is to destroy the other Great Daos and leave only one, so that you can unite your bodies with the Dao."
"Each avenue is very pure. When you merge your body with an avenue, you can only keep one avenue power in your body. Otherwise, you cannot merge with the avenue and break through. If you want to break through, you can only discard the excess avenue power in your body."
The power of the Dao is easy to get rid of, but the realm of the Dao is different. To get rid of the realm of the Dao is tantamount to destroying one's own cultivation, which may damage the foundation of the Dao.
The foundation of Taoism is particularly important. If it is severely damaged, it will be impossible to make a breakthrough in this lifetime.
Ning Ruoxi had no choice but to give up the idea of comprehending the realm of Tao.
"The jade slip that the black figure left for me said that the two Heavenly Secret Pearls together can help me avoid the detection of the Heavenly Dao. We can give it a try." Ning Ruoxi took out the Heavenly Secret Pearl. There was no change in the Heavenly Secret Pearl and it was still blue.
Ning Ruoxi said tentatively to the Heavenly Secret Pearl: "Help me to shield the Heavenly Dao from investigating me."
A golden light shot out from the Tianji Pearl. Ning Ruoxi did not sense any dangerous aura in the golden light, and the golden light fell from above Ning Ruoxi's head.
Ning Ruoxi tried it and found that even if the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Cards left her body, her breath would not leak out.
“It actually worked!”
Lin Shuang looked at this scene in amazement, "This Tianji Pearl is really a rare treasure. It can predict and conceal the aura and so on."
Ning Ruoxi was about to speak when her spiritual sense detected Nan Chengwen rushing towards this side anxiously, probably something had happened.
"Junior Sister Ning, something happened!" Nan Chengwen shouted loudly before he arrived at the cave.
"What's wrong?" Ning Ruoxi took the initiative to walk out of the cave to greet Nan Chengwen.
Nan Chengwen quickly recounted the troubles that Hua Jianyue had encountered, "Junior Sister Ning, the new monarch of the Fengling Dynasty ascended the throne a few days ago, and they sent people to look for cultivators of the Way of Music, hoping that these cultivators could play music at the coronation ceremony."
"The eldest brother was afraid of offending the Fengling Dynasty, so he went to the coronation ceremony, but after the coronation ceremony he was detained in the Fengling Dynasty."
"Why did the new monarch detain Senior Brother Hua?" Ning Ruoxi knew the Fengling Dynasty.
The Fengling Dynasty governs half of the Southern Region, and the Xiandao Sect is also within this area.
There are strong people in the Tribulation Period and many in the Mahayana Period in the dynasty. In short, the Fengling Dynasty has the strength to control half of the Southern Region.
"My eldest brother is the most accomplished musician in the art of music among all the musicians going to the coronation ceremony. The king wants to keep my eldest brother in Fengling Dynasty as his professional musician."
Ning Ruoxi raised her eyebrows, "Is there such a ridiculous thing?"
"Junior Sister Ning, you don't know that there is a huge difference between a dynasty and a sect. The most difficult thing to understand is the heart of the emperor. Moreover, the infighting within the dynasty is extremely serious, and they are fighting in secret. The conflicts between disciples in our sect are just minor fights compared to that." Nan Chengwen said with a bitter face.
"The Fengling Dynasty thinks that our Xiandao Sect is easy to bully. They only have a late Mahayana cultivator in charge, so they dare to make such demands on our eldest brother. They are sure that the Xiandao Sect will not dare to resist. They don't care whether our eldest brother is the sect master in the Xiandao Sect or not. They only care about their own selfish interests."
"What is the cultivation level of the strongest person in Fengling Dynasty?" Ning Ruoxi asked Nan Chengwen.
Nan Chengwen shook his head. "I don't know about that. Anyway, there must be cultivators in the Tribulation Crossing Stage."
“Yes.” It was estimated that there were also cultivators at the peak of tribulation in the Fengling Dynasty, but it was unknown how many there were.
"It's okay. I'll go to Fengling Dynasty and bring Senior Brother Hua back."
"This... Junior Sister Ning, do you know any other cultivators who are transcending tribulation?" Nan Chengwen was worried that it would be too risky for Ning Ruoxi to go alone. If there were cultivators who were transcending tribulation to help, they would be able to calm the situation.
Ning Ruoxi looked at Nan Chengwen and said, "Brother Nan, this matter cannot end well."
If the Fengling Dynasty is not taught a lesson, they will secretly deal with the Xiandao Sect in the future.
Since ancient times, it has been difficult to guard against hidden arrows.
There is only one way to make the Fengling Dynasty behave itself, and that is to beat them into behavior.
"I don't need any help. I am enough on my own."
"I am no longer the powerless Ning Ruoxi of the past..."
