Volume 9: The Chronicles of Winged Snake Lake Chapter 4: A Sigh of Loss

  The black-robed, raven-haired Temple Master sat cross-legged on the jade bed, and suddenly a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "This little guy, it seems he has successfully joined the Yinglong Guard, and he's back so soon."

  At this moment, Ji Ning and Mu Zizhao had already entered the Black-and-White Academy, both of them flying in mid-air.

  "Big brother, I'll come to your place early tomorrow morning," said Mu Zishuo.

  "Go back and cultivate in seclusion, wait until the cultivation is completed, and then go to execute the task, it's not too late." Ji Ning said, they had long been prepared, waiting for the power of the Yuan liquid to be upgraded, and immediately went out to kill that sinful and evil Daoist cultivator.

  Whoosh! Whoosh!

  Ji Ning steered a small boat, while Mu Zixiao controlled his Dragon Head Warship puppet, and they flew towards their respective islands.

  Flying in the sky.

  "Big Brother of the North Sea."

  "Has Beiming's junior brother returned? Last time I went to his place, I found out that he had gone out for a trip."

  From Hei Bai Academy flew to Bei Ming Peak, just ran into six ordinary servant disciples and one formal disciple.

  "That's Beiming Peak." Ji Ning pointed to the mountain peak below from the boat, it was already evening at this moment, the sunset was setting in the west, and the remaining light was also sprinkled on Beiming Peak, looking ethereal and beautiful. "Xiao Qing, you are my spiritual beast, there are many forbidden places in Hei Bai Academy that cannot be trespassed, today you will obediently cultivate in the quiet room, do not go to other places to cause trouble for me, do you understand?"

  "Don't worry, master." Qingqing had been exceptionally excited since entering the Black and White Academy.

  Ji Ning smiled.

  The boat plunged down immediately.

  A figure emerged from the North Ming Peak's mansion, and it was indeed the six servants who had stayed in the North Ming Peak with Ji Ning - Meng Yan, Yun Lu, Yun Zhou, Wang Wei, Wei Fang, and Ming Zhang.

  "Brother Ji Ning." The six of them all came to greet him.

  "Junior Brother Ji Ning, you've returned so quickly, have you joined the Yinglong Guard?" Yunlu looked at Ji Ning with sparkling eyes. As a born beauty, she naturally attracted many admirers. Among Ji Ning's followers, aside from her brother Yunzhou and Meng Yan, the other three all had intentions of pursuing her.

  Not to mention other disciples on Mount Tumalo.

  *sigh*...

  Having been used to seeing the disciples and followers, when Yunluo saw Jining, she suddenly thought to herself: "Compared to Master Jining, those people are just inferior! Humph, my Daoist partner may not be as good as Master Jining, but at least I should reach half of his level. Those people can't even compare to a fraction of Master Jining's abilities."

  "En, I've joined Yinglongwei." Ji Ning smiled and said.

  "Brother Muxi."

  The six people said in unison.

  Ji Ning nodded and pointed at a green-clad girl following beside him: "This is my spiritual beast Qingqing, you all meet her."

  "Elder Sister Qing." Everyone, including Yunluo, showed respect because they felt the powerful demonic aura emanating from Qing. That was definitely a high-level demon of the Wanxiang realm, while they were just Zifu cultivators... Qing did it on purpose, intending to intimidate these people.

  "All right, withdraw, Uncle Bai. Arrange a quiet room for Qingqing," Ji Ning said after which he immediately walked alone towards the quiet room.

  "As soon as he returned, he practiced diligently, no wonder he's such a genius." Yunlu looked at Jining and nodded, "The Daoist partner I'm looking for must also be as diligent as Brother Shi."

  In the quiet room, a string of bright pearls is inlaid on the dome, shining in the vast quiet room.

  Jing Ning sat cross-legged on the exquisitely carved jade bed in the quiet room.

  "Let's get started."

  Ji Ning flipped his hand, and a jade bottle appeared in the palm of his hand. He placed it in front of him, opened the stopper, and a rich aroma of heavenly yuan energy wafted out from within. The jade bottle contained about 6,000 kilograms of yuan liquid. As soon as he opened the stopper, the dense and rich heavenly yuan energy began to dissipate. Just taking one breath made him feel refreshed and invigorated.

  Ji Ning's divine soul was extremely powerful, his innate talent was extremely high, and his foundation was extremely solid. His cultivation speed was also astonishingly fast. An ordinary Wanxiang True Immortal might not be able to accumulate enough 'yuan force' to break through to the Yuan God stage even after cultivating for hundreds of years. But Ji Ning would have more than enough even if he cultivated slowly, in just a few decades.

  It can be convenient like this.

  These six thousand kilograms of yuan liquid are equivalent to Ji Ning's bitter cultivation for at least six years and at most ten years.

  "Drink." Ji Ning opened his mouth and the yuan liquid instantly flew into his mouth.

  Zifu space.

  In the deepest part of that endless ocean of yuan force, the 'source' began to surge out with a huge amount of extremely pure yuan force. At this time, the entire ocean of yuan force started to rotate slightly, and the surface of the ocean naturally began to rise continuously. As it rose, the ocean also condensed into grains of essence, countless essences condensed.

  Whoosh whoosh whoosh! Countless essences began flying towards the sky.

  The high sky of the Purple Mansion has myriads of stars, Taiyin Star and Taiyang Star. These stars are rotating in an extremely mysterious orbit... They resonate with the real stars existing outside, which is why they move like this. As the saying goes, "movement brings life", only after the stars in the Purple Mansion move can they truly give birth to the pure 'primordial force of the myriad phenomena realm'.

  "Wah wah wah~" Countless essences flew into the high sky and were immediately swept into the Star Array.

  Innumerable stars are slowly moving, the essence is being squeezed out, flying into all the stars, mainly gathering in the two stars of Taiyin and Taiyang.

  The stars are moving eternally, without any fatigue, and each star has a gravitational pull and repulsive force on others, keeping the volume of all stars fixed. They cannot grow even slightly! After absorbing more and more essence of the universe, these stars with fixed sizes will also undergo a qualitative transformation to some extent.

  "Boom!"

  These scattered starry essence forces have clearly become even more refined!

  "The Wanxiang period is over." Ji Ning secretly rejoiced, "After consuming nearly 2,000 kilograms of yuan liquid, we have reached the Wanxiang period. Continue!"

  It's been a long time again.

  This time, however, it was enough to refine more than 3,000 kilograms of yuan liquid, and the countless stars in the Zi Fu only underwent another qualitative transformation.

  "It's finally in the later stage of Wanxiang!" Ji Ning opened his eyes and looked at the jade bottle in front of him. There was still over 1,000 kilograms of yuan liquid left inside the jade bottle, but this amount was clearly not enough to reach the perfect state of Wanxiang. Based on previous experiences, it seemed that from the later stage of Wanxiang to the perfect state of Wanxiang, at least 4,000 to 5,000 kilograms of yuan liquid would be needed!

  "It's actually still the most difficult to achieve perfection from the spiritual embryo to the yuan spirit, this step requires tens of thousands of kilograms of yuan liquid." Ji Ning sighed.

  It's hard to say, but have you been going around killing some of the real people from Wanxiang?

  He who lives in a glass house should not throw stones at others.

  It's possible that you might run into a low-key True Immortal, or perhaps one with precious treasures on them. Either way, it could lead to your own demise! Therefore, killing other cultivators is usually only done in special circumstances where there's no choice, and if someone takes the initiative to walk the path of slaughter, even if they're arrogant for a time, they'll ultimately meet their end.

  "No rush, I'm not yet proficient in the way of the Tao or the sword's epiphany. It's still too early for me to break through to the Yuan Shen Dao person." Ji Ning immediately began to reflect on his own swordsmanship and continued to ponder.

  Time flies, and before you know it, dawn breaks.

  Early morning.

  The wooden son has arrived.

  "Senior brother, senior brother." Mu Zixiao's spirit was vigorous and his words were full of momentum. "I cultivated all the way to the Wanxiang Round Completion with one breath, and there is still a lot of yuan liquid left over."

  "What's so proud of? I'm also perfect in every way!" Qing Qing said with wide eyes.

  "Are you already in the state of Wanxiang with just that little bit of yuan liquid?" Mu Zixiao asked in surprise, "You were at the same level as me before, just in the Wanxiang stage. I've consumed much more yuan liquid than you."

  Qing Qing pouted: "I spent 600 kilograms of yuan liquid to reach the late stage of Wan Xiang, and then spent another 4,500 kilograms of yuan liquid to reach the perfect stage of Wan Xiang. Obviously, I was already very close to the late stage of Wan Xiang before, stronger than you."

  Ji Ning sat on one side, drinking fruit wine and smiling as he watched this human and demon exchange blows.

  "Big brother, how about you?" Mu Zishuo sat down.

  "Wanxiang's later period." Ji Ning said with a calm smile.

  "Later stage?" Mu Zishuo was shocked, "How could it be the later stage already?"

  "Ning Er and I are both from Wanxiang's later generations." The white-haired man in white clothes who walked over from the entrance of the courtyard said.

  Muzi Shuo suddenly understood as soon as he heard it.

  Ji Ning must have given Yuan Liquid to Bai Shui Ze, as Bai Shui Ze had just reached the peak of the Violet Palace stage; otherwise, how could he suddenly reach the late stage of the Wanxiang Realm?

  "Bai Shu's mastery of the Array Dao is extremely high, so he can complete it in one breath with the help of Yuan Ye. If one's realm and Dao heart are not sufficient, then even with Yuan Ye, it would be useless." Ji Ning looked at Mu Zixiao, "Younger brother, do you want to go see your master? If not, then we'll set off today."

  "Not going." Mu Zi Shuo shook his head, "Brother, you didn't go see your master either."

  Ji Ning nodded slightly.

  Just said goodbye...

  It's been just over three months, and I haven't made much progress in swordsmanship either, so there's no need to see Master.

  "After finishing breakfast, we set off." Ji Ning said, "Everyone sit down, Uncle Bai, Xiao Qing, sit."

  Muzi Shuo, Qingqing, Bai Shu and Ji Ning sat around, chatting and eating.

  That day, at dawn, Ji Ning and the others once again left the Black and White Academy... This time, they would be leaving for a very long time.

  Ji Ning ran into many people on his way back to Hei Bai Xue Gong. Those with keen eyes naturally found out that Ji Ning had returned very quickly.

  "Whoosh."

  Jiulian waved her hand, and a mirror-like water surface appeared in front of her.

  Looking at one's own reflection in the mirror.

  "Hmm?" Jiulian slightly furrowed her brow, and the style of her blue robe began to change, even the floral patterns on her clothes were changing. As a magical robe, it could naturally change its appearance and color.

  After a long time, Jiulian finally smiled and waved her hand, and the mirror-like water surface in front of her dispersed.

  "Whoosh."

  A snow-white lotus flying treasure appeared, and Jiu Lian stepped on the snow-white lotus flower, directly breaking through the air and leaving his own mansion.

  A moment.

  Treading on the snow-white lotus flowers, Jiulian saw Bi Mingfeng in the distance. As he flew closer, he finally spoke up: "I heard that Master Qiuning has returned, I wonder if I can see him."

  The sound echoes on the top of Beiming Peak.

  Soon, a tall and dark man and a charming woman appeared, who were Meng Yan and Yunlu.

  Meng Yanlian bowed: "Jiulian Shijie, Ji Ning Shixiong returned yesterday, but left again early this morning." Yunlu looked at Jiulian Shijie standing on the snow-white lotus flower in mid-air, feeling as if she was a celestial being, and couldn't help but admire her. "Left?" Jiulian was taken aback.

  "When will you be back?" Jiulian asked.

  "I don't know." Meng Yan shook his head, "Brother Ji Ning said that this time he leaves, it's likely to be a long time before he comes back."

  "Long time no see?"

  Jiulian nodded slightly, a hint of disappointment flashing across her eyes, and then stepped on the lotus flower treasure to break through the air and disappear into the distant horizon.
