"Master, in the maze set up by Masters divine power, a sneaky enemy has been trapped. He looks like a young boy." The handsome youth named Xiao Qi continued, "But his strength is astonishingly powerful, even one of Masters spiritual beasts, Black Needle, was killed by him. I almost lost my life too."
The man in black frowned: "Oh? So fierce?"
"Hes incredibly powerful. The enemy must also be a cultivator of both internal and external energy, probably at the Innate Completion level as well. Only Master can take him down."
"When Master Big Brother unleashes his Drunken Dragons Saliva, no matter how formidable he is, hell definitely end up dazed and helpless."
One by one, they flattered him on the side.
The man in black robes glanced at this group of fellow disciples: "Just one enemy who came to commit a crime, and you are all helpless! Humph, the master is now refining the treasure, no distractions allowed. You six have done nothing well, so take it upon yourselves to go and torment these innate spirits, also helping the master refine the treasure."
"Yes, Master." The six men and women responded in unison, then each picked up various torture instruments from the ground and walked towards those innate spirits.
These bound and abandoned innate spirits are almost all from the Yan Mountain region. As for other places, there are very few innate spirits left, because most were tortured to death long ago, and even those who havent died yet - only a few dozen remain - are on the verge of dying.
"Refine your breath and body at the same time? Innate perfection? Id like to see that." The man in black robes snorted, then strode out quickly.
……
"The three talents are the foundation." Ji Ning, who was protected by the water and fire lotus flowers around him, sat cross-legged, muttering to himself while looking at the large array around him, "The five elements of water and earth are the main ones... The source of change is in these several directions."
A huge array model naturally formed in his mind, and the subtleties of the array operation were all explained.
Ji Ning immediately stood up.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In an instant, it transformed into a phantom and changed direction several times in succession. The faster the degree, the greater the pressure on this formation, and the more it can be seen that the formation is virtual or real.
"This formation is more mysterious than I thought." Ji Ning shook his head, "If I saw the formation flags or formation disks, I would quickly understand the mysteries of this formation." It was clear that this was a large-scale formation controlled by a Zifu Disciple, and perhaps the Zifu Disciple had not been able to come and deal with him due to some special reason.
But Ji Ning was clear that it was only a temporary separation, and once they were separated, the true strength of the Zi Fu Xuan would be revealed, and with the help of the maze, he would almost certainly die.
"We must break through."
Time was pressing, and Ji Ning was also exerting his full effort to comprehend the formation under this intangible pressure. His understanding of the Way of Formations was also constantly improving. Fortunately, he had a foundation from his past life, the strength of his soul in this life, and the insights into formations left behind by the Scattered Immortal. The combination of these three aspects allowed him to make astonishing progress. However, if he wanted to break through the grand formation set up by the Purple Mansion Realm cultivators... he still had a long way to go.
The grand formation of the Purple Mansions repairman is to be broken by force, and it must be forcibly broken! Those at the same level are naturally not possible, even if its the True Person of the Ten Thousand Images, its probably very difficult. As for Ji Ning, theres no doubt that he can only think of a way to decipher the secrets of the formation method, which is the only way to easily break through the formation. Wanting to break through by force? Its far too inferior.
"Hmm!" The black fog in front seemed to have lightened a bit, and a black figure could be vaguely seen in the distance, watching Jin Ning who was sitting cross-legged. "Controlling water and fire? That protective lotus flower seems quite extraordinary."
Wow!
The man in black was now holding a porcelain bottle with one hand, and had pulled out the stopper. The bottle was releasing waves of fragrance that could make peoples hearts drunk. This bottle must be hiding Drunken Dragon Saliva. If Drunken Dragon Saliva is drunk directly, even the True Person of Myriad Images would fall down drunk. Of course, its also difficult to get the True Person of Myriad Images to drink it, as he can smell it out with just one sniff.
The Drunken Dragons Saliva was just a faint scent, but as soon as you smelled it, even the Innate Spirits would almost immediately fall into a coma. As the Eldest Senior Brother, he had been given this Drunken Dragons Saliva by Master, which allowed him to quietly capture so many Innate Spirits.
"Down, down, down!" The black figure looked at Ji Ning with anticipation.
"Huh?"
Ji Ning, sitting cross-legged, felt a fragrance waft into his nostrils, and suddenly his body went limp and his head spun. However, the Primordial Divine Body he had cultivated through the "Vermilion Heaven Diagram" was far superior to that of ordinary divine bodies, and he didnt know how much stronger it was. Although he faintly felt dizzy, as soon as the divine energy in his body circulated, he quickly resisted this feeling.
"Which little man is playing tricks behind our backs!" Ji Ning shouted loudly as he jumped up.
"Haha, as expected, the innate body of a divine demon is indeed hard to get drunk. A black-robed man walked over from afar, "The innate spiritual body of a divine demon has already become a divine demon itself, and its no easier to get drunk than a Zifu cultivator who has cultivated his Qi. Thats why all the innate spirits I caught in Yanshan were Qi-innate."
"The Refining Qi of the Anterior Heaven, once heard, would immediately collapse, and if the Dan Tian were to be abandoned, there would be no power to resist. However, the Divine Demons Refining Body is different, even if the Dan Tian were to be destroyed, it could still grow back, making it extremely difficult to control. Moreover, its also extremely difficult to torture to death the Anterior Heaven of the Divine Demons Refining Body." The black-robed man sighed to himself.
Ji Ning was staring at the black-robed man in the distance, holding a pair of swords, extremely cautious because the mans approach gave him an intangible pressure... That was the overbearing aura of a Divine Spirit Body Refiner, obviously the man had already activated his divine power and was in a state where he could strike at any moment.
"Are you saying that youve captured a congenital spirit?" Ji Ning stared at him.
The man in black robes answered ambiguously, with a hint of a smile, looking at Ji Ning: "If Im not mistaken, you should be the young master Ji Ning of the Ji family."
"Huh?" Ji Ning was startled.
This is an era where communication relies on shouting and transportation relies on running, a tribal era. Only some high-ranking members of the tribes know the great name of Ji Ning. Even if they do know, when they see Ji Ning, they generally cant recognize him...
"It seems I wasnt wrong." The man in black sighed, "Throughout the entire Yan Mountain region, at such a young age and with such an appearance, hes already a congenital spiritual being, and is even considered to be congenitally perfect by my fellow disciples. Probably only someone like Ji Ning Gongzi, who can kick down a city wall with one foot, would be able to surpass him."
"You know quite a lot." Ji Ning looked at him.
The man in black sighed, "Of course I have to know a lot. Under the orders of my master, I need to capture a large number of innate spirits in the Yan Mountain area. I must first understand and gather intelligence on the various innate spirits in the Yan Mountain region. If I dont investigate beforehand, I might accidentally kick an iron plate and fall. For example, your father, Ji Yichuan... He was already innately complete a long time ago. I even suspect hes already a Purple Mansion cultivator. I wouldnt dare to capture someone like him."
"Now that Ive figured out the inside story, I can grab one accurately. Until now, so many congenitally born spirits have gone missing in Yanshan, but no one knows who is behind it." The black-robed man looked at Ji Ning, "At such a young age, with strength like this, theres only you in the entire Yanshan, let alone here being the territory of the Ji familys Western Manor, you are indeed from the Ji familys Western Manor."
Ji Ning was shocked.
How many innate spirits have gone missing in Yanshan? How could I not know myself?
Actually, these things have just happened recently. Capturing congenital spirits must be quick, and they must be taken away suddenly. By the time the other party realizes it, it will probably take a few days. Even if the entire clan makes a decision, there will still be some time. So we must frantically and quickly capture a large batch, and cannot do it slowly. Once the major powers of Yanshan react and set up an ambush, it will be dangerous.
"Nearly a hundred congenital spirits have gone missing in the Yanshan area." The black-robed man looked at Ji Ning, "Because this place is close to the Ji clan, the Ji clan has lost more, a total of twenty-four. There are those directly under your Ji clan, as well as some tribes under your Ji clans banner. Your Ji clans territory is so vast that Im afraid you havent even come up with an accurate number of missing congenital spirits yet."
Ji Ning was shocked.
Jis family, unexpectedly, has lost so many congenitally gifted spirits?
"Your Ji familys Western Manor has also lost some people, Ill report a few names, and you should know them." The black-robed man said, "Ji Wuyu, Ji Shan, Wa Kun, Zhen Tu, Meng Yu, these five are all directly under your Ji familys Western Manor, you should recognize them."
"Ah!"
Ji Nings face turned white.
Ji Wuyu…… is the son of Ji Lie, the most excellent son of Ji Lie. The Ji Lie and Di Zong systems had been fiercely competing for the position of the next master before, and Ji Wuyu was one of the most active ones. Ji Ning once had a period when she didnt like this person very much.
Ji Shan is a young, innate spiritual being from the Western Ji Clan. Although he isnt the leader, the Western Ji Clan has high expectations for him, after all, he bears the surname Ji and belongs to the direct lineage.
Wa Qiong was a newly promoted innate spiritual being who had been trained and absorbed by the Western Manor of the Ji family. When Ji Ning was in the city of the Western Manor, he had seen Wa Qiong several times. Every time Wa Qiong saw Ji Ning, he would slightly bow his head and call out "Young Master Ji Ning".
Shaking the earth, he is one of the twenty commanders of the Ji clan!
Mola... Mola... Mola!!!
"Master Meng Yu!" Ji Nings heart trembled.
Master Meng Yu is actually teaching himself archery skills, and this is one of the five people he is most familiar with.
Five people.
Everyone is familiar, after all, I grew up in Xifucheng since childhood. The group of innate spirits inside Xifucheng, which one havent I seen? Every year at the Piaoxue Temple gathering, I can see this group of people, and Im too familiar with them. They are my clansmen for this life! There are those I have been hostile to, those who are my direct descendants, those with whom I have some connections, and even the archery master who taught me how to practice archery!
"Y...ou..." Ji Nings face turned pale.
"You all know, haha." The black-robed man suddenly shouted loudly, "Ji Wuyu, Ji Shan, Wa Kun, Zhen Tu, Meng Yu, your Ji familys young master Ji Ning is inside the big array! Your Young Master Ji Ning will also come to accompany you soon! Hahaha..."
The sound was very loud and directly entered the distant mountain belly.
