Chapter 384
The original body would rather be straight than bend, just like the sword in his hand, so he must also use the sword in his hand to seek justice for the original body and use his sword to cut out the twists and turns.
Yuan Jing frowned and said, "Do you feel that the current situation in Feihong Continent is actually somewhat similar to that in Xuankun World?"
Ning Yan nodded: "You are right. Cultivate, cultivate. Most people only care about cultivating themselves and forget to cultivate their minds. They just keep fighting and competing. This is the case within the sects, between sects, and between Taoists and demons. If this continues, I estimate that this world will either decline in level or face the fate of destruction like the Xuankun world."
The two discussed what they should do. The most important thing right now was not to resolve the feud between Yuan Jing and Taiyi Sect, because Yuan Jing was still weak. Although it would be no problem to give him one or two years to challenge Zuo Wenlu, he could suppress Zuo Wenlu, but they did not forget that Zuo Wenlu was backed by Taiyi Sect. As a disciple valued by the sect, would he allow an outsider to provoke and suppress him?
It's simply impossible, and with that vicious female supporting role, Yuan Jing believes that as soon as he shows up, before he even reaches Taiyi Sect, he will probably be hunted down by the vicious female supporting role, who will want to get rid of him, the one who escaped the net.
So the important thing is the situation Ning Yan is facing. Ning Yan also said that he is now wanted by the Chixia Sect with a bounty on his head, and other sects will also give the Chixia Sect some face. Ning Yan will not ignore him if they meet him. Anyway, he is just a notorious demon who betrayed the sect and fell into the evil way. He can just deal with him and get a favor from the Chixia Sect. Why not do it?
After Ning Yan received the call from his lover, his mind became much calmer, and he said seriously: "I may be at the entrance of the Hopeless Sea on the Feihong Continent, and there will be someone waiting for me to fall into the trap."
"How come? Has your whereabouts been exposed?"
Ning Yan nodded: "When I went to buy this treasure ship, I met a few monks. One of them followed me until I left the city. I think he recognized me, but because of his lack of strength, he didn't dare to fight me. Then they are likely to report to the Chixia Sect. The head of the Chixia Sect, Lu, wants to get rid of me as soon as possible, for fear that I will reveal the good deeds of his precious son. So if he really knows my whereabouts, he will definitely send people to guard the entrance to the sea."
Yuan Jing said: "That means we can't go directly to Feihong Continent. Let me think about where else we can go."
Yuan Jing went over the plot from beginning to end again. Because it involves cultivation, which can take decades at any time, and even a retreat can take hundreds of years, so the plot is the longest, and it also involves the various adventures and experiences of the heroine and heroine.
"Got it!" Yuan Jing finally found a plot that could be used. "The plot says that the hero and heroine were chased by a demon once. The two fled into a dangerous place, but the demon was guarding the exit, so they couldn't get out. However, the hero and heroine couldn't be the protagonists without some luck, so they found a way through the dangerous place and entered an underground river. Following the underground river, the two finally entered an ocean. When they came out of the ocean, they realized that the place they had just been in was the Hopeless Sea. The two escaped from danger and successfully escaped from the demon."
Ning Yan frowned slightly and said, "You also said it was a dangerous place."
Yuan Jing patted him and kissed him, saying, "We are now in this world. This is not a peaceful world. We must go upstream. Besides, if we really encounter an invincible danger, we will enter the space."
Ning Yan's tense expression finally relaxed and he rubbed his face. He really needed to change his way of thinking. In his last life, he was the one who advised Yuan Jing. In this life, he was not as clear-sighted as Yuan Jing.
But Yuan Jing said that it was because Ning Yan was overly concerned about his safety. However, in this world of cultivation, crises are hidden everywhere, and they need to fight for their place in these crises.
Ning Yan finally smiled and said, "Okay, let's try our luck and see if we can find the underground river and get into the dangerous situation."
The three-tailed fox, standing alone at the bow, also cried out at this time, responding to the decision of the two. What's there to be afraid of in danger? With the three-tailed fox here, the three-tailed fox will definitely protect its master.
Ning Yan's face darkened and he gritted his teeth. Just wait for the day when his cultivation level surpasses that of Sanwei. He would find a chance to beat it up.
Sanwei suddenly felt cold, and he looked around suspiciously, but found nothing, so he threw it aside and jumped back to express his determination to his master that as long as he was there, his master didn't have to worry about anything.
So the treasure ship changed its course again. Yuan Jing could not accurately tell the location of the underground river and could only grope his way around.
After walking in the Hopeless Sea for several days and searching in that general direction for another half a month, he also fought with sea beasts dozens of times. Such battles allowed Yuan Jing's cultivation to move one step closer to foundation building. Ning Yan also honed his swordsmanship, making the original body's swordsmanship truly his own.
Ning Yan put away the treasure ship, and the two people and the beast stood outside an underwater whirlpool.
Yuan Jing looked at Ning Yan, then at Sanwei, took a deep breath and said, "Let's take a chance. Maybe there is an underground river behind this whirlpool." After checking many places, this one was the most suspicious.
Ning Yan nodded: "Okay, Yuan Jing, just get on my back and hold me tight, I'll take you down with me."
The three-tailed beast also waved its paw to support this action.
Yuan Jing jumped onto Ning Yan's back nimbly, hugged Ning Yan's neck tightly, and stuffed Sanwei into his arms. After getting the signal, Ning Yan dived into the whirlpool. The two people and the beast suddenly felt dizzy. It was not a pleasant feeling, just like being thrown into a washing machine, being tossed back and forth and squeezed by the whirlpool. If it weren't for Ning Yan and Sanwei's protection, Yuan Jing would never have been able to pass through the whirlpool and would have been squeezed to pieces.
An unknown amount of time had passed before he suddenly felt his body lighten. Yuan Jing fell from Ning Yan's back into his arms. Ning Yan took out a pill and asked Yuan Jing to take it. Yuan Jing quickly sat cross-legged on the ground to regulate his breathing and recover. Ning Yan and Sanwei checked the surrounding environment to protect Yuan Jing.
Just because he is the weakest one, Yuan Jing is more eager to improve his strength. He can't rely on Ning Yan and Sanwei to protect him every time.
The underground river was very dark, but there was a gleam of scales in the water, and there were glowing plants on the walls on both sides. From the upper side one could see the whirlpool above their heads. Occasionally, fish from the sea would be brought down by the whirlpool, and even if they survived they would be knocked dizzy. Then something in the underground river would stir for a while, and blood would appear on the water surface, and the sea fish would be eaten.
Ning Yan and Sanwei saw clearly that the things in the water were densely packed. They were a kind of piranhas with very sharp teeth. They surrounded them and devoured a large sea fish in just a few seconds. The fish did not even have time to struggle, and in the end only a very clean skeleton was left.
Ning Yan felt a little cold on his back. If he hadn't remained calm and controlled his body, if he had fallen into the dark river instead of the shore, they would probably have been surrounded by the dense group of piranhas.
The shore was not very safe either. There were also noises all around, but before they got close, they were dealt with by Ning Yan's sword energy and the three-tailed beast's claws. Yuan Jing must not be affected. This was the common wish of the man and the beast.
Suddenly, the spiritual energy around him surged, and Yuan Jing opened his eyes and said quickly: "I'm about to break through, and I can't control it anymore."
Ning Yan was surprised, but also very happy: "Just focus on breaking through, Sanwei and I will guard here."
As he spoke, he set up formations around Yuan Jing, including a spirit gathering formation and a defense formation, to prevent everything here from being attracted here. While he and Sanwei were in a hurry, some fish slipped through the net and ran in to disrupt Yuan Jing's breakthrough.
Yuan Jing nodded and quickly scattered a handful of spirit stones around him. At the same time, he took out the foundation-building pill and swallowed it. This was not his first time to build a foundation, so of course there were foundation-building pills he had refined before in the space. The spiritual energy here was extremely rich, so he could focus on breaking through with confidence.
Perhaps it was the previous squeezing in the vortex that made the spiritual power in Yuan Jing's dantian more condensed, so this breathing adjustment reached the critical point of breakthrough, and the spiritual energy rushed into his dantian uncontrollably. After deciding to break through, Yuan Jing consciously attracted this spiritual energy, and the spiritual power in his dantian also formed a vortex, squeezing towards the center madly.
An unknown amount of time had passed, but the Dantian had expanded a lot because of this movement. Finally, the first drop of spiritual liquid condensed in the center of the Dantian vortex. This was the symbol of successful foundation building. The spiritual power turned into liquid. With this beginning, more and more spiritual power turned into drops of spiritual liquid. When the spiritual energy in the Dantian was consumed, the process did not stop. The spiritual energy outside was still injected into his Dantian and converted into the spiritual power he needed, and the spiritual power continued to condense into liquid.
When this process was finally over, Yuan Jing discovered that his cultivation had stopped at the peak of the early stage of foundation building, and he was only one step away from being promoted to the middle stage of foundation building. If he told others about this speed, probably no one would believe it. Of course, if Yuan Jing didn't have some cheats, it would be impossible for him to have such a fast speed if it was his first time practicing.
He stopped and did not continue practicing. He decided to spend some time practicing the tempering method Ning Yan gave him. This was because he was practicing too fast. Although his physical strength was also improving, it was obviously not keeping up with the speed of his spiritual power cultivation. If this continued, his physical strength would become a drag, and this shortcoming was particularly evident in him.
As for his state of mind, that was the thing he didn't have to worry about the least. His current state of mind was above that of the Nascent Soul, and his soul power was fully released, comparable to that of the Divine Transformation. The travels through so many worlds and the absorption of the origins of the worlds were not in vain.
When he opened his eyes, he saw that the corpses of various unknown creatures in the defensive formation were almost piled up into a mountain. Yuan Jing waved his hand to remove the formation and said to Ning Yan and Sanwei: "Thank you for your hard work in protecting me."
Ning Yan smiled and said, "It was a pleasant kill. Perhaps soon it will be your turn, Yuan Jing, to protect me."
"That's great." This means Ning Yan is about to reach the Nascent Soul stage.
Yuan Jing tidied himself, then let Sanwei squat on his shoulder, and walked hand in hand with Ning Yan to the other side of the underground river. The rest of the journey was much quieter, because most of the people were attracted by the rich spiritual energy when Yuan Jing broke through, and became the souls of Ning Yan's sword and Sanwei's claws. The rest did not dare to approach these two killing gods.
