The latest update!
"Hmm..." Big Yellow Bear looked at Old Ancestor.
"He's dead, he died a long time ago, in that great calamity. He would have found you if he were still alive, wouldn't he? Letting you drift outside for billions of years, this little bear clearly guessed it, but didn't want to believe."
Bang! Bang!
A drop of tears fell to the ground, kneeling on the yellow-haired big bear's whole body trembling, and let out a painful howl: "Ahhh——"
The wailing sound also made Ji Ning feel heartbroken.
"Master, master, master..." The big yellow bear yelled crazily with its head raised, and San Shou Dao Ren was like a parent to it.
After a long time, the big yellow bear knelt down and said: "The little bear was too presumptuous earlier."
"Alright." The old ancestor instructed, "You return to the Star Plucking Mansion for now, you still can't leave the Star Plucking Mansion."
"Yes." Huang Mao Da Xiong replied respectfully, and then suddenly vanished into thin air, only to reappear once again in the Water Palace.
Ji Ning was moved by the emotions of Shui Fu's spirit and San Shou Dao people, but he also found some doubts. Since Huang Mao Da Xiong is the spirit of Shui Fu, why does he feel like a living being? Can even cry? Even Lao Zu said that they can't leave Ze Xing Fu for now, will they be able to leave Shui Fu in the future?
However, the spirit of the Water Palace has been in the Water Palace for billions of years and has never left. Even if it could leave, it would probably be a very, very long time from now.
"Ji Ning." The old ancestor looked at Ji Ning, "San Shou is dead, I will replace him to teach you the way, are you willing to take me as your master.
Ji Ning immediately knelt down: "Disciple greets Master!"
"Uh-huh."
The old ancestor revealed a hint of a smile, "From today on, you will be a formally acknowledged disciple under my gate. When you transcend the calamity and become an immortal, you will then become my personally taught disciple."
"Yes." Ji Ning replied respectfully.
"There are very few rules under my roof, just two."
"One must not go against."
"Secondly, without my permission, you are not allowed to tell others that I am your master." The old ancestor said, "If you disobey me, the light punishment will be for me to strike and kill you, causing your memory to be confused and reincarnated. A heavier punishment would be for me to directly cause your soul to scatter, and an even heavier one... would be to let your soul suffer the pain of being burned by true fire forever."
"Disciple understands."
"When can you be considered a true disciple of our ancestor?" asked Ji Ning.
"The opportunity has arrived, it's only natural." Lao Zu smiled, "If you can catch up with your senior brother's skills, you can also speak freely outside."
Ji Ning muttered to herself.
Senior Brother?
He is the first among many fellow disciples, even White Robed Jiang Jun and other senior brothers are inferior to him, it's not easy to reach Eldest Senior Brother's strength.
"As for whether you will be good or evil in the future, I won't interfere too much, as long as you follow your heart." said Lao Zu.
"Yes." Ji Ning replied.
"Come forward, come before me." The old ancestor instructed.
Ji Ning was taken aback for a moment, then immediately followed up, walking along the steps and directly to Lao Zu's side.
Very suddenly——
Laozu suddenly pointed his finger and it landed on Ji Ning's brow, a simple touch but Ji Ning couldn't react in time, the finger had already touched her brow.
"Hmmmmmm"
Ji Ning's whole body went soft and she sat down on the steps, closing her eyes and just sitting there.
Lao Zu smiled as he looked at Ji Ning, then closed his eyes and stopped paying attention.
This is a deserted corridor. The walls on both sides of the corridor are full of various swordsmanship patterns. Those swordsmanships have come to life, demonstrating the mystery of swordsmanship.
Ji Ning walked along this corridor, looking at the constantly moving sword techniques on both sides.
"The level of swordsmanship is generally less than three feet, and it's still at the first move of the Three Feet Sword." Ji Ning walked on.
He forgot why he came here.
Forget the past.
He just knew to keep walking down this corridor deeper and deeper.
The ever-changing swordsmanship on the two-layered corridor wall even departed from the corridor wall, surrounding Jin Ning and making him feel infinite mystery.
"Here, I have already demonstrated the power of the Three Feet Sword's second form."
Ji Ning continued walking.
After walking for an unknown period of time, this corridor wall seemed to have displayed all the swordsmanship in "Jian Dao" in front of Ji Ning with unparalleled fineness. Originally, Ji Ning thought that his understanding of swordsmanship was already high enough, but now he found it was not detailed enough! Whether it was evil, overbearing, arrogant, reclusive, or ferocious... all kinds of swordsmanship were on display.
"At this point, it is already at the level of the third move of the Three Feet Sword."
Don't know how long I've been walking.
"At this point, it has already reached the level of the seventh form of the Three Chi Sword. Ji Ning continued to move forward, and a large number of sword techniques were continuously absorbed by Ji Ning, making his foundation even more solid. Although he had long since reached the level of the seventh form, now Ji Ning's understanding of the 'Sword Dao' has clearly increased by a lot."
It has been a long time since then.
"It's already the eighth level of Sanzhang Sword." Ji Ning felt the difficulty, felt the effort, and countless sword techniques around him were constantly conveying various mysteries to Ji Ning.
Ji Ning was constantly absorbing it.
His pace in the corridor also slowed down.
"The Ninth Form of the Three-Foot Sword."
The swordsmanship is increasingly profound and immeasurable, every style of swordplay around him can rival the "Three Chi Sword Ninth Style", and there are countless styles of swordplay around him. Although Ji Ning couldn't comprehend them, the fundamental mystery of these swordplays was deeply imprinted on his soul.
Continue walking forward, and it has already far exceeded three feet of sword.
If there is a sequel to Three Feet Sword, the swordsmanship in the later part can be compared to the tenth and eleventh moves of Three Feet Sword.
Ji Ning was immersed in the ocean of 'Sword', walking through the corridors, his mind completely filled with countless sword techniques, and more profound sword techniques flashed through his mind. Although he didn't understand, the baptism of countless sword techniques made Ji Ning very familiar with these mysteries.
Long time no see.
It was as if thousands of years had passed when Ji Ning finally saw the end of this passageway, a vast expanse of gigantic sword light.
Ji Ning didn't know why he walked over there, nor did he know whether he should stop. Just like that, he walked to the end of the corridor and his body entered that vast expanse of sword light.
"Boom~~~~~"
The vast and endless mystery surges up in my heart.
The vastness of the sword path, all the mysteries were fully grasped by Ji Ning. The countless sword techniques that had flashed through his mind in the corridor earlier also made Ji Ning's heart even closer to the 'Sword Path'.
"Huh?"
Ji Ning suddenly felt a surge of energy and opened his eyes.
Only then did he see himself sitting on the steps, and on the cushion above the steps was the old ancestor wearing a loose Taoist robe. The old ancestor opened his eyes and smiled at Ji Ning.
"This, this..." Ji Ning looked around, everything felt unreal.
After a long while, the memories of decades past finally resurfaced from the depths of his mind, and the subtleties of countless sword techniques were suppressed by Jing Ning to the deepest part of his soul.
"Master, I...I..." Ji Ning looked at Lao Zu with trepidation, feeling as if he had gone through thousands of years, and it took him a while to recover his memories of the past few decades.
"What's wrong with you? Didn't you just take a nap?" said Lao Zu with a smile.
"Master, how long did I sleep?" Ji Ning asked.
"It won't take even the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn." said Lao Zu.
"But I...I feel like I've spent ten thousand years." Ji Ning couldn't help but say.
Lao Zu said: "I merely used the 'One Dream, One Thousand Years' technique to let you truly experience a complete 'Sword Path', from the beginning of Sword Path to its great completion."
A dream for thousands of years.
That feeling was indeed like a dream, as if I had lost all ability to think, only knowing to stupidly keep walking in the corridor.
"It's just letting you experience what it's like to fully grasp the 'Way of the Sword' once, your swordsmanship realm hasn't improved much after all," said Lao Zu.
Ji Ning clearly understood that this 'One Dream for a Thousand Years' was of great help to himself.
Although I can still only wield the third form of the Three Chi Sword, my understanding of swordsmanship has solidified greatly, and I have a vague sense of the path ahead... Even fully grasping 'Sword Way' has become a hazy feeling.
The path of immortality is like crossing a river by feeling for stones.
But having a general sense of this road, walking will naturally be faster.
"Thank you, Master." Ji Ning knelt down and said.
"I only lent you a hand, what achievements you can make still depends on yourself." The old ancestor lightly pointed, and a stream of light directly flew into Ji Ning's mind.
Ji Ning felt a large amount of information flooding into his mind.
It wasn't until after a good half day had passed that Ji Ning finally came to.
"Beiming Jing"? "Chi Ming Jiutian Tu" in four volumes? Ji Ning felt the cultivation method contained within his divine soul.
The first volume of the "Diagram of the Nine Heavens and the Bright Sun", Post-Heaven, Pre-Heaven, Purple Mansion.
The second volume of Hongming Jiutian Tu, Wanxiang, Yuanshen, Fanxu.
Volume 3: Heavenly God Volume!
Volume 4: The True God Volume!
"The 'Chi Ming Nine Heaven Chart' was created by Chi Ming, and this method has also been praised by Nüwa. It is indeed a rare method that can be cultivated to the level of true divinity." The old ancestor said, "As for the 'Bei Ming Jing', it is a water-based cultivation method, which was created by the Carefree Patriarch, and can be cultivated all the way to the Great Luo Patriarch."
"The two are tempering the body and tempering the energy; afterwards it will be your foundation method." said Lao Zu.
"Yes." Ji Ning was overjoyed.
The Classic of Northern Qi?
The founder of the Carefree Path? Just by hearing it, I know it's the most top-notch Qi-refining sect in the Three Realms.
"The Body Refining Sect and the Qi Refining Sect are not particularly precious in the Three Realms." The Old Ancestor said calmly, "But Spiritual Abilities and Secret Techniques are much more precious."
The Northern Ming Jing's method is such that even the Great Xia Emperor didn't have it, and only Bodhi Lao Zu at this level dares to say it's not precious.
"Our Fangcun Mountain has two Taoist palaces, which include Wanxiang, Zhenfa, Kuiwu, Jian Dao, Daodao, Taiji, Leifa, Lianhua... and many other schools of thought. It's just a matter of whether you have the ability to learn them." The old ancestor said calmly, "The Tao cannot be lightly transmitted. If you want to learn, you must have the talent for learning."
"Disciple understands." Ji Ning said respectfully.
"Go, study the Tao in peace on Fangcun Mountain. When you have enough strength one day, you can come down from the mountain and return to your Great Xia world." The old ancestor said, "On the day you leave the mountain, I will give you two great gifts."
"Master, what level is considered strong enough?" Ji Ning asked.
"The time will come when I'll tell you." said Lao Zu.
Ji Ning was speechless for a moment.
Let yourself bury your head and learn the way, without even saying when you can come out of the mountain.
"Go." The old ancestor said calmly with his eyes closed, "Without my permission, you are not allowed to come in and disturb me."
"Yes." Ji Ning immediately left obediently.
After Ji Ning left, Lao Zu finally opened his eyes and shook his head softly: "It's been a long time, but I still can't help but ramble on in front of my disciple. Thinking about San Shou, thinking about that great calamity back then, my heart is still in turmoil."
