Chapter 5656 I guess this is the truth behind the resurrection of spiritual energy. …
The first year of the Reiki Recovery, June 20th, noon, Juying Pavilion Conference Room.
Juying Pavilion approved an office space for the "Enlightenment" project. After returning from the land of war, Ning Changkong immediately held a brief meeting with the participating teachers, made some sharing and arranged the follow-up arrangements.
After the brief meeting, Ning Changkong, who was exhausted and in low spirits, was taken to the exclusive lounge by Bai Xian and a box lunch prepared by the Hundred Birds tribe was stuffed into his hand.
Ning Changkong opened the lid and sipped the hot soup slowly. Jin Wuyuan was the chef, so he was quite casual about the cooking. When he returned to the Hundred Birds, he would have to eat medicinal food again, so he had to prepare himself mentally.
Bai Xian sat down opposite him with a strange look on his face. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Do you know those three children?"
"I guess so. They are quite famous in the academy." Ning Changkong said vaguely.
Gu Minghui and Wen Qingsheng were accepted as apprentices by Chi Zhaoming and Zuo Langning respectively, and they are indeed influential figures on campus.
Bai Xian came closer and asked: "Did you make that child's feather pendant?"
Ning Changkong took two bites of rice without appetite and looked up at him: "Why do you say that?"
Bai Xian said as a matter of course: "You have already charged it, how come it is not the rune you designed?"
Ning Changkong was puzzled: "The internal energy structure of the feather is not damaged. If you are a little more careful, as long as the spiritual power attributes match, you can charge it. Why can't it charge?"
Bai Xian looked even more puzzled: "How do you know that its structure is intact? And how do you know what its internal structure looks like? - You can't even transform into wings. This feather must belong to Feng Qingwu!"
This is still possible. Ning Changkong slightly widened his eyes: "I have met these kids once before when I was on a mission, otherwise why are they so familiar with me?"
Phoenix should be a big shot to these human children, but they did not show the expected nervousness and awe, and even asked questions directly, which really seemed like they had seen her before. Bai Xian recalled carefully.
Seeing Bai Xian wavering, Ning Changkong took the opportunity to pursue him. He quickly organized his words: "They and I have met once before, and they are also related to the feather pendant. I was curious today and went to follow the scent of the feathers to take a look. I didn't expect to run into an attack."
Bai Xian's suspicions were finally dispelled. He put a piece of food into Ning Chang's empty bowl with his chopsticks and said, "Your action is really misleading. Charging other people's magic weapons is usually something that only the person who made the magic weapon dares to do..."
"It's basic common sense to use ready-made feathers, bones and other materials to engrave runes without destroying the internal structure." Ning Changkong muttered unhappily, "Although these are not my feathers, they are phoenix feathers after all. I can understand the structure. It couldn't be more natural..."
As he spoke, his expression changed:
Oh no, could Yue Jingting also guess in this direction?
That afternoon, at the headquarters of the Foreign Affairs Bureau.
When Ning Changkong brought Bai Xian into Chi Zhaoming's office, Yue Jingting and Zuo Langning were already there.
The three of them and the demon recounted the entire process in detail, tacitly concealing the fact that Li Bo called him "Junior Brother" - Ning Changkong didn't think that Yue Jingting was being kind, but felt that he had already told Chi Zhaoming about it in advance, and there was no need to waste words on it.
When talking about the "things that do not belong to Phoenix" mentioned by Ning Changkong, Ning Changkong only said that he had felt Phoenix's breath when the Tongshan illusion collapsed, and suspected that he had stolen something, causing the illusion to collapse, but he didn't know what he had stolen.
Zuo Langning couldn't help but ask, "Why is Gu Minghui called 'Dragon'?"
Chi Zhaoming sighed, knowing that he could no longer get away with it, so he slowly began to speak: "Ten years ago, the teacher led a team to explore the Longyuan fantasy land where Yinglong was sleeping, and Gu Minghui's parents were both in the team."
Zuo Lang shrank back, the "teacher" Chi Zhaoming was referring to was her father.
"According to my information, it should be the soul fragment of Yinglong that possessed one of his parents. After they returned home, perhaps because Gu Minghui's soul fluctuations were similar to Yinglong, it attracted the fragment of Yinglong, which made him carry the aura of Yinglong."
Bai Xian nodded: "Based on what I saw today, it is indeed a fragment of Yinglong."
Yue Jingting reacted quickly. He said thoughtfully, "On the night of the Lantern Festival, Senior Brother... Li Bo made a special effort to lure the tiger away from the mountain and knock down Gu Minghui and his group. Was it just for the Yinglong fragment on his body?"
Let's get to the point. Ning Changkong spoke slowly: "The gate of the Tongshan Illusion happened to be opened on the night of the Lantern Festival. I have always suspected that the concentration of spiritual energy when the spiritual energy was just revived should not be enough to attract the Tongshan Illusion to appear in the world..."
Chi Zhaoming raised his eyes slightly and met Ning Changkong's cold gaze.
He continued, "I used the rhetoric of 'destroying the bridge after crossing it' and found that Li Bo looked strange. I suspected that maybe Li Bo used Yinglong's aura to forcefully open the Tongshan illusion on the night of the Lantern Festival."
Ning Changkong leaned forward slightly: "But the Tongshan illusion has already collapsed, so there is no question of crossing the river and then destroying the bridge. So I am suspicious..."
Before he finished speaking, everyone in this circle already had an idea in their minds.
——Where else could it be? Of course it was the Dragon Abyss Fantasy Land.
Chi Zhaoming knew that he could no longer fool the fans, so he had to talk about the past in a roundabout way:
That day, they entered the Longyuan Illusionary Realm, but they did not stay there. Instead, after some investigation, they mistakenly entered another half plane, where they were in danger.
"That's where Li Bo stayed behind to cover the rear. We all thought he died there until he reappeared a few years later." Chi Zhaoming said solemnly, "I think he must have had some adventure there, so he wanted to use Yinglong's aura to open the Longyuan Illusion and enter it again."
Transmitted to a new demiplane? This is consistent with the death of Master Zuo and the injuries caused by the chaotic flow of time and space described by Bai Xian.
Chi Zhaoming briefly explained the relationship between the Longyuan Academy Treasure House and the Longyuan Illusion. Zuo Langning couldn't help but ask, "Can we still open the Longyuan Illusion now?"
Bai Xian was the first to answer, "It's no use. They didn't stay in there for long before the dragon bone energy started to deplete rapidly. It barely held on until everyone got out, but it was all gone. Now we can only wait for the Dragon Abyss Illusion to approach the real world again."
"Maybe it can be opened like the Tongshan Illusion." Ning Changkong suddenly spoke.
Although he did not have time to look through the entire formation in the basement of the Sengoku Bank, he had some impression of it.
Chi Zhaoming and Bai Xian had already guessed this, while Zuo Langning and Yue Jingting believed in Ning Changkong's formation. For a moment, everyone started thinking based on this premise.
Chi Zhaoming broke the stagnant atmosphere and said softly, "I want to talk to Mingqi-kun alone."
Soon they were the only two people left in the office.
"How confident are you?" Chi Zhaoming asked.
Ning Changkong narrowed his eyes and said, "I took a few glances that night and I remember about 40% to 50% of it. Give me some more time and I'm about 70% to 80% sure I can recover it."
"However, before I start to restore the formation, you must first tell me - which demiplane did you go to and what did you see?"
Ning Changkong stared at Chi Zhaoming and asked word by word, "Is it related to the revival of spiritual energy?"
"...I am very sorry to hand you over to the demon clan, Jinsong." Chi Zhaoming said sincerely.
In such a panic situation, he was able to remember 40% to 50% of the information after just one glance. He is truly talented.
Ning Changkong knocked on the table impatiently: "I'm talking to you about serious matters. There's no point in playing the emotional card."
"I know, I know." Chi Zhaoming rubbed his brows, organized his words, and spoke slowly:
"I... don't know what a demiplane is called."
Ning Changkong listened quietly, picturing the scene in his mind:
In the dim night, in the boundless demiplane, the air was filled with aura so thick that it was almost suffocating.
Faint rumbling sounds were heard from afar, and the earth seemed to be shaking slightly, which made people wonder: Will earthquakes also occur in the demiplane?
But if you look into the distance, you will find that the majestic black shadows that block out the sky are not mountains, but a huge machine in operation. The machine is so huge that it exceeds the limit of vision and it is almost impossible to see the whole picture at a glance.
And if you look up to the sky...
"Countless passages to fantasy worlds suspended in mid-air - can you imagine that scene, Jinsong?" This was a secret that had not been made public, and Chi Zhaoming, who was sharing it with others for the first time, was visibly excited.
Ning Changkong narrowed his eyes. Among them, there should be the Yaochi illusion, and even the people from the Alien Bureau might have encountered danger in the Yaochi, so Bai Xian said that "the aura of the Yaochi is particularly strong" on them.
"We entered this place through the passage of Longyuan Fantasy Realm. The sky is filled with gorgeous fantasy shadows, and there is a huge--" Chi Zhaoming suddenly stopped.
"What?" Ning Changkong raised his eyebrows.
"——Black shadow." Chi Zhaoming muttered, "I don't know what it is. When Li Bo came to me later, he seemed to say it was 'remains', but I don't know what the remains were either..."
Ning Changkong asked: "What did Li Bo say to you when he came to see you?"
Chi Zhaoming took a deep breath and said slowly:
"He said that the spiritual energy there is so dense because of that machine, which draws spiritual energy from the real world into that demiplane."
"——He has a way to modify the operation of the machine and pour the enriched spiritual energy into the real world."
This is the truth of Reiki revival.
Ning Changkong drank the half-cooled tea in silence. He was not surprised that Chi Zhaoming believed Li Bo's words.
The spiritual energy is so abundant that it can almost condense from the air, and the huge machine spans the sky and the earth. Any cultivator who sees it will probably have similar guesses.
He pondered for a while, then said, "Take me to the Treasure Pavilion again some other day, and I'll study how to replicate that formation and use the Yinglong aura of Gu Minghui and Long Gu to open the Dragon Abyss Illusion."
Ning Changkong had a hunch that the key to the main quest should be in that mysterious demiplane.
Chi Zhaoming was surprised: "I thought you wanted a piece of the pie no matter what."
Although the aura of Yinglong is stronger in the treasure pavilion, setting up a formation there is equivalent to handing over the formation to humans.
If possible, Ning Changkong also wanted to set up a formation in Jinwu Garden. Unfortunately, Jinwu Garden had set up a mother formation for transporting people between the human world and Penglai, so he couldn't take the risk.
He snorted and said arrogantly, "Do you think I won't tamper with the formation? Even if I give you the complete blueprint and let your people draw it, I still have to be there in person to activate the formation."
This way, if he died, it would be convenient to hand over the method of opening the illusion to someone trustworthy.
"I am quite familiar with the level of human formation cultivation. Even if Dean Qiu cracks it himself, I am afraid he will not be able to break the safety I designed."
Chi Zhaoming sighed: "It is true that the disciple is better than the master."
Before he could sigh in regret over Lin Jinsong running off to work for the demon tribe, Ning Changkong spoke first, "Let's settle it this way. I'll design the formation, and Yue Jingting will draw it."
He trusted the character of the second senior brother and they had a past relationship. Ning Changkong was confident that he could shake his mind and make him not completely stand on the side of Chi Zhaoming and humans.
"But..." He carefully recalled the situation that day and told Chi Zhaoming his hidden worries, "I'm worried that the energy of 'Opening the Door' is a bit difficult to deal with."
The conversation was over. Ning Changkong did not hide anything and told Phoenix everything about opening the door and the strange slogan "The gods are dead, the eternal night is coming".
Now, when I think back to this slogan and combine it with the word “wreckage”…
Chu Qingge said softly: "I always feel that the living conditions of the gods are not very optimistic."
Ning Changkong sighed: "Hasn't it been confirmed that one of them is dead? That's Yinglong."
"Cefu Yuangui" records: "Yinglong opened up the earth and gave people land to live in in the long run", which means that Yinglong opened up the earth and allowed people to own land to live in.
The phoenix can only be said to be a mythical beast, while Yinglong is a true existence with the divinity of the creator god.
Chi Zhaoming: "It takes time to draw up the battle formation. As for the energy, we will slowly plan... As for the slogan you mentioned, I have some impression of it."
"——Do you know about a cult organization in the West called 'Eternal Night Society'?"
