Chapter 104
"There's nothing we can do about it." Ning sighed worriedly.
If there was a way, Ning Chen wouldn't have spent so many days worrying about how to make Xie Tingyun happy.
Since the two of them have already torn apart the superficial peace, they might as well speak frankly.
Ning Chen said frankly: "Is there any way to go down to the endless abyss? I... the body I put there may not be dead now, but all life has been locked away."
Xie Tingyun raised his eyes in disbelief and said, "Are you sure? All life is locked away in the Endless Abyss. How can you resist the pressure from the Endless Abyss?"
"..." Ning Chen said, "Anyway, I was not dead when my soul left. But now that you say that, I am not sure."
Xie Tingyun: "..."
Ning Chen said calmly: "However, think positively. How could a great demon in the Silent Realm, who even has a demon heart in his body, die so easily under the pressure? He can hold on for a long time, right?"
"That's right," Xie Tingyun was silent for a while, then said calmly, "But... I'm not sure."
He had discussed and rehearsed this with the great masters in the cultivation world many times, and each time they had concluded that it was extremely difficult and risky, with the chance of survival being no more than 10%.
If you want to take something out of the Endless Abyss, you have to withstand the pressure from the Endless Abyss, you have to withstand the state of the Endless Abyss freezing all the spiritual energy in your body in a short period of time, and then go back and forth a whole time.
The combination of these two conditions has already created a fatal environment for killing monks.
Moreover, when Xie Tingyun jumped down, he didn't even reach the bottom, so he couldn't predict the actual depth of the ghost realm.
The deeper you sink, the greater the endless pressure you will feel, and vice versa.
The Endless Abyss has existed for so many years, and it's not that no one has ever thought about attacking it. However, even if they have made sufficient preparations beforehand, no one has succeeded in getting out alive in the end.
The experience of their predecessors made people in the cultivation world unconsciously choose to stay away from the Endless Abyss. Occasionally, there were cultivators who died within a few centimeters of the Endless Abyss, but most people chose to give up without any prior agreement.
There was no other way. They simply did not have enough strength to get the people inside out, so since they could not, they could only give up.
Ning Chen said, "Then I will go down, okay? According to the physical strength of the Silent Realm, he won't die immediately. Then, just like you did last time, put a shield on my soul and replace it with something else, don't use the forbidden formation, and then I will go down to get it?"
Xie Tingyun said softly, "But that body is already on the verge of death. Even if you bring him up, his sea of consciousness and inner palace will be breached by the resentful spirits in a moment."
The demon heart of that body cannot be used, and there is no time to soak it in the blood pool again. There is a fear that the demon heart of the dead main body will wither within fifteen days.
This body cannot be used as a backup either, because there are countless unimaginable vengeful spirits sleeping inside it.
Once you leave the Endless Abyss, you will wake up immediately.
In other words, after discussing for so long, there is still no result.
Either Xie Tingyun uses his own method, or he digs out Ning Chen's current evil heart.
Ning Chen lowered his head, looked at Xie Tingyun, and whispered, "It's okay. Use mine."
If we look at it from a God's perspective, since Ning Shen took over this identity and body
After the body,
The ultimate purpose of this body's existence is to be used for sacrifice.
It's no big deal.
After all, apart from Xie Tingyun,
He really has nothing to worry about here.
“…”
Xie Tingyun felt a splitting pain in his head, and all his nerves were breaking down due to excessive thinking and what was about to happen in the future.
He hugged Ning Shen silently.
＊
The next day, when Xie Tingyun woke up, he found that there was no one around him.
Ning Chen left at some point.
Xie Tingyun was stunned for a long while, and touched the empty space beside him in a daze. After he came to his senses, he withdrew his hand in unusual silence.
Today is the day when the Rock Secret Realm opens. The Rock Secret Realm is a heavenly-level secret realm, and its opening has attracted countless masters.
Xie Tingyun calmed himself down and went with Chengfeng.
I don’t know where Ning Chen went. Maybe something happened in the Demon Realm, so he went back first.
Anyway, even if the demon world is fine, Ning Chen is free to go wherever he wants.
Xie Tingyun did not bring any fellow disciples from the sect this time, as the difficulty of the Heavenly Grade Secret Realm was not suitable for them, and everyone knew that Xie Tingyun's goal this time was Qingpanjiao.
But they also included Elder Daoming and several Mahayana practitioners from other sects, who happened to be the fellow practitioners who had experienced the realm of resentful ghosts with them last time.
Xie Tingyun was not surprised at all. After arriving at the agreed gathering place, he nodded to all the practitioners as a greeting.
By the time they arrived at the entrance of the Rock Secret Realm, it had already been open for an incense stick of time. At this point, there were almost no monks waiting at the entrance of the secret realm. They had entered the moment the secret realm opened.
Green Pan Horn is not a very rare material. It is a kind of coiled horn that grows on the body of a tamed white deer. It has excellent toughness. The reason why Green Pan Horn is chosen as one of the materials for refining the Heavenly Sword is mainly because Green Pan Horn can absorb a large amount of spiritual energy in a short period of time. It is an extremely suitable material for breaking through the Heavenly Gate.
Therefore, Xie Tingyun and his companions seemed to be neither hurried nor slow, after all, no one was competing with them for the Qing Pan horn.
The most important thing is that Xie Tingyun wanted to stay with Ning Chen for a while longer, so the time agreed with fellow practitioners was moved up a little later.
What he didn't expect was that Ning Chen got up very early for the first time and disappeared long ago.
However, when they entered the secret realm and began to look for the tamed white deer, the black ring on Xie Tingyun's finger suddenly began to heat up.
The pitch-black ring turned into a flexible magic breath, hooked Xie Tingyun's hand and rubbed it, and then very humanely changed into an arrow, pointing Xie Tingyun in a direction.
No one except Xie Tingyun noticed the magic breath ring in his hand that had gathered its aura. Daoming, who was walking behind Xie Tingyun, said unawarely, "Fellow Daoists, think it through. Forcing yourself to advance will greatly damage your own spiritual roots and cultivation foundation. Once you shoot an arrow, there is no turning back."
Kong Ling snorted coldly and said, "What Xie Tingyun can do, why can't I do it? I want it, so why do you care if I turn back?"
"The main thing is that we are the only ones who can do this. If we rely solely on Fellow Daoist Xie, what will we do if we fail? Moreover, I will always feel uncomfortable if Fellow Daoist Xie and Fellow Daoist Tianxiao have to pay the price."
"Let's do this with more people.
_[(，
That's good. I'm already so old, I don't need to turn back any more."
"..." Daoming laughed, "My fellow Taoists, we live and die together."
Xie Tingyun led the way in front. He fed the evil spirit a little spiritual energy, and then followed the direction of the arrow that the evil spirit transformed into.
About a cup of tea later, Xie Tingyun saw a familiar figure leaning against a tree, with a pitch-black sword in his hand standing at his feet. The tassel on the handle was hooked on Ning Shen's hand, asking him to take care of himself.
However, Ning was so focused on talking to the tamed white deer at his feet that he had no time to pay attention to the sword tassel.
The tamed white deer was a strong and suspicious creature that could climb and run well. However, at this moment, it lay at Ning Chen's feet, lowered its head unusually docilely, and allowed Ning Chen to carefully cut off a section of its horn without thinking.
After Ning Chen finished cutting, he put the Qingpan Horn into the storage ring with satisfaction, then touched the tamed white deer and said, "Thank you very much."
The tamed white deer spoke in human language: "Thank you too. This is my reward to you."
Afterwards, they watched the trained white deer turn around and walk into the forest, carrying its half-lame little white deer in its mouth, and disappeared quickly and gracefully from everyone's sight.
Ning Chen saw Xie Tingyun and his group coming, and just wanted to say hello to Xie Tingyun, but he stopped himself before the words came to his lips.
The people in the cultivation world love to use collusion with the demons as an excuse to accuse others. There are still people around Xie Tingyun. He took a quick look and found that they were all familiar faces who came out of the ghost realm last time.
...Familiar faces won't work either, as they are all old and smart. They seem very friendly to him in the realm of resentful ghosts, but that may not be the case outside.
Ning Chen coughed lightly, straightened his back slightly, put his hand on the handle of Bu Nian's knife, and said to Xie Tingyun in a pretentious tone: "Saint Xie, long time no see. Has it been a long time since I have picked a fight with you?"
Xie Tingyun: "..."
Daoming: “…”
Long time no see means you two were living in the same place a few hours ago.
He was looking for trouble, saying that he had gotten up early to come to the Rock Secret Realm, and that he had reached some conditions with the Tamed White Deer, but he had easily obtained the Green Pan Horn, and it was highly suspected that he was going to give it to Xie Tingyun.
However, Daoming also realized that the reason Ning Chen did this was probably because he was wary of the group of Mahayana practitioners next to him who he was not very familiar with, and he couldn't help but feel a little amused.
After all, the fact that the Demon Lord was secretly hidden by Xie Tingyun in Yunfeng Pavilion for a few days was kept secret from most people. Only those of them who were discussing the matter in the meeting hall at the time knew the inside story, and no one else knew about it.
It's understandable that they want to be cautious and don't want to expose their private relationship.
However, it seems that the Demon Lord is unaware that his reputation in the world of cultivation is rather subtle.
Especially the few Mahayana practitioners who came this time, they can almost be said to be the main force that tends to favor the Demon Lord.
But it is understandable that the Demon Lord does not know.
Xie Tingyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but when he saw Ning Chen's serious look, he put away his unconscious smile and said, "It's been a long time since we last met. What's the matter, Master Demon? I'm in a bad mood today, so I urgently need to come to Xie to vent."
Ning Chen nodded, thinking that Xie Tingyun was really smart and had already made up an excuse unconsciously.
Ning Chen said: "One-on-one, all irrelevant people please leave immediately."
Taking the Qingpan horn is a small matter. The most important thing is that Ning Chen has not had the chance to use his new sword these days.
The knife forged by Xie Tingyun himself!
A new knife for him!
At least you can unsheathe it once before you die?
No matter what, it was fitting that Bunian's first battle was with his forger. There could be no more wonderful fate than this.
Ning Chen picked up Bu Nian and calmly brushed off the tassel of the sword that was only close to him. He said in his mind: "Can you act like a magic sword?! Be serious and majestic, understand? Don't be like a childish kid."
