Chapter 415 Strange Land (4000)
This hourglass couldn't help but bring back Jiang Ming's distant memories.
a long long time ago,
On his first trip to Jinguan City to pick up his junior sister and bring her back to the sect, he and Luo Xiaoqing explored a secret realm of the Qi Refining Stage.
When fighting the final BOSS in the secret realm, the Mist Flying Lian, Jiang Ming could have relied on his skills to slowly kill it.
result,
Suddenly an hourglass appeared.
A time limit was added to the secret realm.
This forced Jiang Ming to temporarily change his strategy and adopt the method of exchanging injuries for injuries. After sacrificing a piece of thigh meat, he snatched away Mi Wu Fei Lian's savings of many years.
Before leaving the secret realm, he even made an international friendly gesture to the people who were monitoring the secret realm.
They're being called upon... Could it be that they're here for this?
Zui Qingfeng took out a gourd of wine and took a sip:
"My friend, do you remember?"
If Jiang Ming was a god, he guaranteed that Zui Qingfeng would vomit out all the wine in his stomach and let him drink it back.
But he was only at the Golden Core stage, so he could only nod:
"Yeah, I remember now."
Zui Qingfeng blinked his eyes, as if remembering something, and clarified:
"Let me be clear in advance: I have no ill intentions from the beginning to the end."
As he spoke, he waved his sleeves, and the scene of Jiang Ming in the secret realm suddenly reappeared in front of his eyes.
Just after Jiang Ming made a friendly gesture and left the secret realm, the hourglass ran out.
However, the secret realm did not collapse.
Obviously, this hourglass is just an hourglass.
"Look, I just saw that you still had some strength left, so I wanted to give you a little provocation... Even if you didn't have a trump card, I would still help you."
Jiang Ming narrowed his eyes when he heard this.
There is no need to guess from Zui Qingfeng's attitude, he must have a request.
Otherwise there would be no need to explain so much.
Zui Qingfeng continued to chatter, trying his best to prove that he was very friendly:
"I'm stopping you now only because I have something to ask of you. Don't worry, you're all disciples of Zhengdao Peak. As a casual cultivator, I wouldn't dare risk being hunted down by the Wanfa Xianzong and harm you."
Jiang Ming waved his hand:
"Okay, senior, let's get down to business."
Zui Qingfeng saw this and said bluntly without any further ado:
"My friend, I have a great opportunity here, do you want it?"
"Tell me."
"My friend, do you know the current state of Heavenly Dao?"
Jiang Ming is not only a member of the Cultivation Alliance, but also has two fragments of the Heavenly Dao in his body. Naturally, he knows:
“Is it constantly breaking apart?”
Zui Qingfeng nodded.
This is common sense in the world of cultivation. After all, the battle for the Dao is a fight for the fragments of the Heavenly Dao.
He paused, then asked:
"What will happen after the Heavenly Dao is broken?"
"not sure."
Speaking of this, Zui Qingfeng looked a little disappointed:
"As people under this Heavenly Dao, we have long been closely connected with the Heavenly Dao. If the Heavenly Dao is incomplete, we naturally cannot become Dao."
The road after becoming a god has long been blocked.
This is also the reason why all sects in the cultivation world are now in peace.
The end of the road is the transformation into a god.
No matter how much you fight or compete, you will never reach the stage of enlightenment.
Why fight then? Just go home and lie down.
"It's not just a realm. The Heavenly Dao is like a barrier to this world, maintaining order internally and resisting foreign invasions externally."
Zui Qingfeng sighed:
"If the Way of Heaven is completely shattered, what will follow is world disorder, foreign invasions, suffering, and ultimately, complete destruction."
Jiang Ming frowned:
"Then why don't you go and repair the Heavenly Dao?"
"It can't be repaired. If it could be repaired, the five major immortal sects would have joined forces to repair it long ago. Why would they fight over the fragments of the Heavenly Dao? Isn't it just to accumulate more power before the chaotic world comes?"
Zui Qingfeng shook his head and sighed:
"The God of Transformation is truly powerless to restore the Heavenly Dao."
These people did not blame the five major immortal sects for being selfish.
If the Heavenly Dao truly cannot be repaired, then the five great immortal sects will become the first line of defense against changes in the heaven and earth and foreign invasions.
It would be better if they were stronger.
"So can I practice it during the Enlightenment Stage?"
Jiang Ming frowned even more tightly.
Xin Budao, the leader of the Xiudao League, told him that the laws of nature can be repaired.
Although he never said how to repair it, he was just constantly busy with something and asked his disciples to collect the fragments of the Heavenly Dao.
But if Zui Qingfeng didn't lie, then is there any way for Xin Budao to advance to the realm of enlightenment?
"To be honest, I'm not too sure, but it's more promising than reaching the God Transformation stage after all."
As Zui Qingfeng spoke, he felt a little melancholy.
As a veteran incarnation, he understands the despair of having no future much better than the younger generation.
After all, they were at the end of the road, and if they looked up, they could see the wall blocking it.
Seeing this, Jiang Ming knew he couldn't get anything out of him, so he changed the subject:
"So the opportunity you mentioned is related to the Way of Heaven?"
Zui Qingfeng took a sip of wine and felt a little more energetic:
"Well, after the Heavenly Dao was broken, we old guys like us who have reached the God Transformation stage thought that since we have nothing to do anyway, we started to research whether there are other ways to repair the Heavenly Dao."
After a pause, he continued:
"Until a few hundred years ago, we accidentally discovered a strange place that may have been created by the shattering of the Heavenly Dao."
"The time sequence there is completely chaotic. If you enter it at a certain point in time, you can even see your future self."
"So magical?"
"Well, actually, even us old guys don't quite understand the underlying principles... because it's so bizarre. All we can say is that the universe is so vast that nothing is impossible."
"so?"
"Do you want to meet your future self?"
"But what does this have to do with restoring the Heavenly Dao?"
"Although time is chaotic and intertwined in that strange place, but..."
Drunk Qingfeng's eyes sparkled:
"In that chaotic space and time, the previously complete Heavenly Dao will intersect and overlap with the people of the future, piecing together two completely different time and space! Do you understand?"
In other words, in that chaotic time and space, would he be able to advance to the stage of enlightenment in the future under the complete Heavenly Dao of the past?
Jiang Ming instantly connected all the things:
"So, you want to meet me in the future when I achieve enlightenment? And ask him if he has any way to save the Heavenly Dao?"
"You are quite confident."
Zui Qingfeng laughed:
"But you guessed right, so we've been searching for talented people everywhere just to give it a try, and I've taken a fancy to you."
"Then why not cooperate with Dazong and bring in more talents directly? Wouldn't the chances be better that way?"
Zui Qingfeng shook his head:
"In that strange place, time is extremely chaotic, and the overlap of the past and the future doesn't always occur. From our observations, it happens about once every two hundred years, so this opportunity is very precious."
Zui Qingfeng shook his head:
"Also, the laws of this strange land are fragile and can't withstand any disturbance. Too many people might trigger time turbulence. If you go in now, you might be half buried in the ground when you come out."
"We, the gods, need to ensure your safety inside, lest you get lost in the chaos."
"Five gods, each with one junior, can accommodate a maximum of ten people. This is the rule we have figured out."
"How about it, my friend? Are you interested? Although not everyone can achieve enlightenment under the complete rules, being able to see your future self once would be enough to benefit you greatly."
Jiang Ming fell into deep thought after hearing this.
Somewhat exciting.
If the laws of nature are destined to be broken, then this is indeed a good opportunity.
Putting everything aside, he still wanted to see what his future would be like.
However, Jiang Ming was a family man after all, so he asked one more question:
"Is it dangerous?"
Zui Qingfeng patted his chest and assured:
"Don't worry, young friend. In the past eight hundred years, we've tried three times, and everyone has returned alive. This is because everything happened only in that strange place. If anything unexpected happens, we just need to escape from that place."
"So, among the three waves of people, has anyone achieved enlightenment?"
"There was one person... but unfortunately, what we saw was his state after death."
"What do you mean?"
Speaking of this, Zui Qingfeng still shook his head with some regret:
"Hearing the truth in the morning, I die in the evening."
Just one step away! If only I could see someone who has attained enlightenment alive...
Jiang Ming understood immediately after hearing this.
It means breaking through and achieving enlightenment at the cost of one's life.
The result was only a future corpse.
"However, even so, that kid also saw the way forward from his future self and gained a lot."
Jiang Ming nodded.
After all, if you know that you can achieve enlightenment in the future, then you should know how incredible your talent is.
Definitely full of confidence.
Well, it’s just like a little boy from an island country who traveled to the future in a time machine and found out that his wife was Shizuka.
Moreover, Jiang Ming felt that although these gods were mainly trying to restore the Heavenly Dao, they also had the intention of witnessing the Dao Enlightenment Stage with their own eyes and thus gaining insights.
After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Ming asked:
"How long does the trip take?"
When Zui Qingfeng saw this, he knew that the boy was moved.
However, not many people can resist the curiosity of taking a glimpse into the future.
He smiled and said:
"It takes about twenty days to go back and forth. We have to rush over to that strange land in the next few days."
Jiang Ming nodded.
It just so happens that if everything goes well, I can still catch up with the trial of the Hehuan Sect.
"Junior brother..."
Yan Ruoqi suddenly pulled Jiang Ming's sleeve, then looked at Zui Qingfeng:
"I'll go as well."
"Uh."
Zui Qingfeng shook his head:
"I only have one spot here... Actually, Yan Ruoqi, I thought about taking you there before, but I found that my friend is more talented than you."
Yan Ruoqi did not give up:
"Can I replace someone else?"
Zui Qingfeng shook his head in embarrassment:
"Of course not. The other gods will definitely trust their own judgment more."
"Sister, do you really want to go and see it?"
"I just want to go with you..."
Jiang Ming laughed.
I never realized that my senior sister was so clingy before:
"Xiaoqin still needs your care."
Upon hearing this, Yan Ruoqi knew that she definitely couldn't go with them.
But I will be separated from my junior fellow apprentice for nearly a month!
Somewhat reluctant.
But she is not a child after all, so she won't pester him.
He also knew that his junior brother would feel more at ease if she stayed with Xiaoqin in the Hehuan Sect.
So she nodded:
"Well, Junior Brother, go ahead and don't worry. I will take good care of Xiaoqin. Be careful."
Jiang Ming smiled and touched her, then took out a piece of jade:
"Hmm... Come, give this to Luo Xiaoqing and have him go find the people from the Desire Pavilion and the Red Dust Tower."
"what is this?"
"This is a plan and contract that's almost 100% convincing. I was originally supposed to negotiate with these two organizations today, but now I have to hand it over to Luo Xiaoqing."
Hearing this, Yan Ruoqi suddenly felt a little guilty:
"I'm sorry, Junior Brother, I delayed you..."
"Sister."
Jiang Ming interrupted her and stroked her silky hair:
"You are more important than anything else. Keep this in mind and tell me if you have any problems. Okay?"
Yan Ruoqi pursed her lips, feeling the throbbing in her heart, and nodded:
"it is good."
"Well, that's it, Senior Sister. Be careful on your way back, and explain my situation to Xiaoqin... By the way, tell her that I'm safe and not to worry."
"it is good."
Yan Ruoqi opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something.
Seeing this, Jiang Ming turned around and looked at Zui Qingfeng:
"Senior, can you please leave for a moment?"
Zui Qingfeng's eyes twitched when he heard this.
At his age, he has long lost interest in these things.
However, looking at the two people bidding farewell to each other, I can't help but sigh that true love in the world is so beautiful.
Unfortunately, it had been so long that he had forgotten what his Taoist partner who died before reaching the golden elixir stage looked like.
Who wasn’t a handsome young man full of vigor and vitality in the beginning?
Zui Qingfeng took a big gulp of wine and disappeared, leaving only a faint voice:
"Okay, then hurry up... Don't worry, I won't peek at you."
Jiang Ming glanced at him.
There are Dzi beads, so you can’t see them even if you want to.
Zui Qingfeng had just disappeared when Jiang Ming felt a moist, soft, yet slightly cool touch on his lips.
A pair of small hands also tightly embraced his neck.
Senior sister, I still like to take the initiative.
But that’s all.
The two of them just exchanged a long kiss to say goodbye.
……
Perhaps because they wouldn't be able to meet for a long time, Yan Ruoqi lingered longer than ever before, as if he wanted to use up all his tenderness in advance.
Unfortunately, the conditions did not allow it, so she could only do these routine intimate things.
Ok,
Now in Yan Ruoqi's eyes, this is just the most basic.
But Xiaoqin would still make her blush if she was kissed.
This gap...
"Are you all right, little friend?"
Yan Ruoqi knew that it was time to say goodbye.
Her little tongue still lingered on Jiang Ming's lips, and she reluctantly withdrew it.
"Junior brother, be careful. Xiaoqin and I will be waiting for you in the Hehuan Sect."
"Okay, senior sister."
Jiang Ming was at a loss whether to laugh or cry:
"It's just a trip out, nothing special. Didn't Senior Zui say it's safe?"
"Ah."
Yan Ruoqi's pretty face showed obvious reluctance. She thought for a moment, then suddenly whispered softly in Jiang Ming's ear, a gentle breeze blowing past:
"I'll practice more... my workaround techniques and wait for your return."
Jiang Ming's breathing stopped.
If you use this to test the cadres, they won't want to leave.
"Senior, that's enough."
Zui Qingfeng suddenly appeared beside Jiang Ming, put his hand on his shoulder, and said teasingly with a smile:
"Then my friend Yan, I will lend your Taoist partner to you for a while."
Yan Ruoqi looked at him:
"Please take good care of me, senior."
If it were not for the inappropriate threat,
She might even add: If anything happens to my junior brother, my goal in life will be to hunt you down to the ends of the earth.
"rest assured."
Zui Qingfeng waved his hand and disappeared with Jiang Ming.
Yan Ruoqi stopped for a while, finally sighed, turned around and left.
Always felt,
It will be colder in the coming period...
