Yun Ruowei's appearance was the same as it was in the past. She wore a simple blue dress, her eyes were as clear as a spring, and her smile was tranquil.
She was still barefooted and wore a bracelet on her wrist with a silver bell hanging from it. When the wind blew, the sound of the bell was very pleasant.
"You're willing to help me find the jade? What I'm looking for is a piece of Blue Bridge Jade Pendant. It belongs to my elder sister … I'm looking for the jade but in fact, I'm looking for my elder sister … I know that she's not dead. I know … "After hearing that Ning Fan was willing to help her, Yun Ruowei no longer hid the truth and revealed an expectant expression.
She was just a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator while he was a Void Refinement Realm cultivator. With Ning Fan's help, it should be easier to find the jade pendant.
"Is your elder sister the little winged demon that I saw in your dream that year?" Ning Fan asked.
"Yes …" Yun Ruowei hesitated for a moment before deciding to answer truthfully.
"I remember, her name is Ning Qian …"
"Yes …"
"She and Yun Tianjue are …"
"The two of them are … Dao companions … The elder sister went missing a thousand years ago and Yun Tianjue forgot about her a thousand years ago … Before the elder sister went missing, she had just given birth to a son for Yun Tianjue less than a month ago … But I don't know what happened after that, but both the elder sister and the child went missing overnight … After that, the life tablet of the child shattered and he should be dead. Although she didn't die, she should have fallen into a predicament … She shouldn't have died, but I couldn't find her even after searching for a thousand years. Where exactly is she … What exactly happened in the past … Yun Tianjue didn't protect my elder sister well. He didn't even protect his own child. What's worse is that he completely forgot about my elder sister after she went missing. He didn't even remember who Ning Qian was … He is a heartless and heartless person! "
Yun Ruowei no longer hid anything from him. She even told him some of her secrets through telepathy. Her eyes were filled with sadness and indignation.
She hated Yun Tianjue's fickleness and was unwilling to stay in the Rain Palace any longer. That was why she joined the Southeast Cultivator Union.
In the past, she could not bear to hurt Ning Fan. It was only because Ning Fan's smile was somewhat similar to her elder sister's. Hence, she felt sympathetic towards him …
"…" Ning Fan remained silent, but his heart was not at peace. Could he be the child who died with Ning Qian and Yun Tianjue …
Yun Tianjue had forgotten his love for a thousand years. Ning Qian had gone missing a thousand years ago. If he was the child who had died back then, how could he still be alive today …
Yun Ruowei wholeheartedly believed that Yun Tianjue was a heartless person. However, Ning Fan did not think so. He believed that Yun Tianjue was a person who had deep feelings.
Perhaps Yun Tianjue wouldn't even blink if he wanted to annihilate a sect or a country, but he was definitely not someone who would ignore the life and death of his wife and children …
Ning Qian's whereabouts were unknown, Yun Tianjue had forgotten everything, and the mysterious death of that child … Something must have happened a thousand years ago …
Ning Fan gently closed his eyes. Perhaps he would be able to find out everything about this confusing mystery after finding Ning Qian's whereabouts.
The only clue left to find Ning Qian seemed to be the Blue Bridge Jade Pendant …
"I promise to help you look for the jade. However, I have a question. Why did you come to the Ning Clan of Hai Ning to look for the jade? Could it be that there are some clues in this place?" Ning Fan asked.
"There aren't any clues … Originally, I followed the Southeastern Cultivators Alliance to Seven Apricot City. However, when I passed by Hai Ning, I sensed a trace of intent realm qi in this city. It's elder sister's qi … That intent realm qi was very faint, extremely faint. However, it actually didn't disappear even after a thousand years. Moreover, it carried a deep sorrow … Elder sister must have experienced something heartbreaking in Hai Ning! Otherwise, she wouldn't have left behind a sorrow that wouldn't disappear even after a thousand years! "
"However, I have already asked the cultivators of the Ning Clan of Hai Ning … The Ning Clan of Hai Ning only has a history of a thousand years. Moreover, there isn't anyone in the Ning Clan who has lived for more than a thousand years. No one knows if a female winged demon had come to this place a thousand years ago …"
Yun Ruowei revealed a disappointed look.
The three ancestors of the Ning Clan, on the other hand, were trembling in fear. They were not sure if they would anger this Nascent Soul Realm female cultivator if they could not give Yun Ruowei a satisfactory answer.
"All of you can leave now … Miss Yun, come with me. I will bring you to look for clues in the Ning Clan. Mm … If Miss Qing is willing, you can also come with me. "
Ning Fan dismissed the three ancestors of the Ning Clan. The three old men immediately bade farewell and left as if they had just been pardoned. They also announced to the entire city that no one was allowed to stop Ning Fan no matter where he wanted to go.
After the three ancestors of the Ning Clan left, Ning Fan brought Yun Ruowei and Ning Qingqing to search the entire Hai Ning City.
Ning Fan spread his spirit sense far and wide, covering a radius of four hundred thousand li * (500m per li).
Previously, he did not notice it. However, after Yun Ruowei's reminder, he really sensed an extremely faint sorrow intent realm in Hai Ning City …
That sorrow intent realm was very faint. Its power was obviously weak but it was unforgettable and would not disappear even after a thousand years.
Ning Fan was stunned. The qi of this intent realm was exactly the same as that of his mother in the illusory realm …
"I have already searched the entire Hai Ning City. There isn't a single trace of my sister inside and outside the city …" Yun Ruowei sighed in disappointment.
"Your sister had come to the Land of Wu a thousand years ago. She was filled with sorrow there … Even though Hai Ning City was affected by her sorrow intent realm, it wasn't the place where she was truly heartbroken … In the past, when she passed by this place, she was merely passing by … The saddest place isn't here …"
With Yun Ruowei's ability, she could only sense a trace of sorrow intent realm from the land of Hai Ning City and determine that it was left behind by her sister a thousand years ago.
However, with Ning Fan's ability, he could follow this sorrowful qi and find the place where the sorrow was the strongest …
Will there be any clues over there …?
Even Void Fragmentation Realm old monsters of the Rain World might not necessarily be able to distinguish the intensity of the sorrow and find the source of it.
However, Ning Fan could because he had comprehended the Memory Intent Realm which was the Second Step Intent Realm. In terms of understanding the power of intent realms, he was even higher than Void Fragmentation Realm cultivators!
"Follow me!"
He suddenly used the escaping light of void teleportation and carried Yun Ruowei and Ning Qingqing. Then, he moved forty thousand li * (500m per li) to the north towards Hai Ning City.
He landed on the ground. The place where he landed was a desolate mountain and demon forest that was enshrouded in blood mist. It was called the Weeping Blood Forest. It was a famous place for cultivators in the Land of Wu. There were many bloodthirsty winged demons living there. Many cultivators in the Land of Wu loved to come here to hunt demons and cultivate.
Outside the Weeping Blood Forest was the place where the sorrow intent realm was the strongest!
"It's the qi of my sister's intent realm! It hasn't dispersed for a thousand years! Could it be that Elder Sister is in this Weeping Blood Forest?! "Yun Ruowei exclaimed in surprise.
"This Weeping Blood Forest has a circumference of five thousand li * (500m per li). There are many mortal cities where wars often break out. Many orphans are homeless and homeless. The Ning Family often finds some orphans from this place to adopt … I've checked the records of the slaves in the clan. In the past, you were also picked up in this area …" Ning Qingqing lowered her brows and said to Ning Fan as if she was recalling her memories.
"Is that so …?"
Ning Fan let out a soft sigh. Sensing the strong sorrowful qi in this place, he already had some guesses about his origin. Without saying anything else, he brought the two ladies and walked into the Weeping Blood Forest quietly.
Stepping over rotten leaves and dried branches, stepping over muddy swamps, there was not a single demon beast that dared to stop Ning Fan along the way.
In the deepest part of the Weeping Blood Forest, there was a small pond that was only one zhang * (3.33m per zhang) wide. The water of the pond was as red as blood.
Ning Fan stopped at the edge of the pond.
This pond did not contain any spiritual qi. It was just an ordinary pond. No cultivators or demon beasts would pay attention to it.
However, Ning Fan could feel the sorrow intent realm in this pond that could not be dispelled.
His gaze penetrated the bottom of the pond. In the mud at the bottom of the pond, there was a blue jade pendant lying quietly …
Other than that, there seemed to be some broken stone chips at the bottom of the pond … When Ning Fan examined them carefully, he found out that they were the stone chips left behind by the demon cocoons of the demon clans …
He bent his palm and waved. The jade pendant at the bottom of the pond immediately broke out of the pond and flew into his palm.
The warm blue jade pendant was in the shape of a mandarin bird and there was a line of graceful writing engraved on it.
When the mountains have no edges and the heavens and earth merge, only then will I dare to be with you …
Yun Ruowei walked towards Ning Fan and carefully examined the blue jade pendant. Her beautiful eyes were filled with joy.
That handwriting was none other than Ning Qian's handwriting. This was Ning Qian's Blue Bridge Jade Pendant!
"I found it! But, where is my elder sister …? "
Yun Ruowei spread her spirit sense and scanned the area within a thousand li * (500m per li) of the Weeping Blood Forest. However, she could not find any trace of Ning Qian at all.
She's not here. She's not here … Other than that trace of sorrow intent realm, there is no trace of her qi.
The blue jade is here but Ning Qian is not here … She had once regarded this jade as her life. How could she leave it in this place?
"Ning Fan, I beg you. Help me find her!" Yun Ruowei helplessly grabbed Ning Fan's palm. It was not easy for her to find a trace of Ning Qian. Could it be that it was going to end just like that …?
"I'll try my best!"
The reason why he wanted to find Ning Qian was not only for Yun Ruowei but also for himself.
He held the Blue Bridge Jade Pendant and spread the power of his memory intent realm, enveloping the entire Weeping Blood Forest!
He took out piles of Min Luo Fruits which he obtained from the tree spirit. There were twenty of them in total and he consumed all of them!
After consuming the Min Luo Fruits, he did not seek to enter the dream realm.
He released his memory intent realm and did not seek to erase anyone's memories.
A single Min Luo Fruit could allow one to experience fifty years of dream realm. Twenty of them would be one thousand years!
He just wanted to see everything that had happened in this place for the past one thousand years!
He closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on the ground. The scenery in his mind changed rapidly.
The Min Luo Fruit could improve one's mental state in the dream realm. It could allow one to see the things that happened at the edge of one's memories.
Ning Fan had Hai Ning's memories. That was why he could find out that his surname was Yun in the Min Luo Dream.
Ning Fan did not have any memories of the Weeping Blood Forest. Thus, he could only use the memories of the forest to enter the dream realm!
The Min Luo Dream!
In the dream, Ning Fan was not alone but the entire Weeping Blood Forest. It was the Weeping Blood Forest from a thousand years ago!
He could neither move nor speak. He could only observe the living beings in the Weeping Blood Forest with his spirit sense.
He had become a piece of land and a forest!
A thousand years ago, there was no thick blood mist in the Weeping Blood Forest. There was also no pool of blood red water in the depths of the forest.
The sun rose and the moon set. Countless demon beasts were born and died in this forest. Countless cultivators from the Land of Wu entered this forest to slay demons and gain experience.
Ning Fan did not care about these demon beasts and cultivators. He had been waiting all along.
Until one day, a gentle lady wearing a light yellow dress stumbled into the Weeping Blood Forest while carrying a child whose body was as cold as ice.
"She is …" Ning Fan wanted to say something but he could not make a sound. He was just a piece of land.
She was Ning Qian!
Ning Qian's body emanated the aura of a Late Nascent Soul Realm demon power. However, she was severely injured and her face was pale.
Her eyes were bright like the moon and extremely beautiful. However, there was sorrow and despair in her eyes. Tears flowed endlessly.
"My … Child …"
Ning Qian fell at the end of the Weeping Blood Forest with a baby who was less than a month old in her arms.
The baby in her arms was wearing a festive cotton-padded jacket. His chubby little hands were still clutching the front of her clothes. He was unconscious and barely breathing.
Not long before his death, the baby's heart veins were shattered and his blood essence was sucked dry by someone … He was only hanging on to his life because he had consumed a high grade pill.
Ning Fan was shocked. Who was so cruel to suck the blood essence of a baby?!
Ning Qian's heart ached and her face became even paler.
She touched the cold body of the baby with her palm. Looking at the baby's breathing which was getting weaker and weaker, she held back her tears and smiled stubbornly. "I won't let you die … As long as I can revive you, I'm willing even if I have to give up my life!"
Ning Qian looked at the quiet pond in front of her and revealed a determined expression.
She bit her finger and endured the excruciating pain. Then, she suddenly performed a hand seal and condensed her blood into threads. She used the threads to form a cocoon and sealed the baby in it. Then, she took off the blue jade pendant she was wearing and placed it inside the blood cocoon.
"Your father said that this is the Demon Cocoon Life Sealing Technique of the ancient demon race. It can isolate the heavenly secret and lock the chance of survival inside the demon cocoon …"
Ning Qian's face became even paler. It seemed like she was straining herself to use this technique.
"They sucked your blood dry. I'll give you my blood. You must come back to life. Come back to life …"
Ning Qian hugged the demon cocoon gently and carefully as if she was hugging a baby.
She bit her finger and pressed it on the coarse demon cocoon, smearing it over and over again.
Her wounds rubbed against the coarse demon cocoon. The pain was excruciating but she didn't care.
"I won't let you die. I won't let anyone hurt you …" Ning Qian revealed a pale smile and smeared the demon cocoon with her blood again and again.
One day, two days … On the tenth day, all ten of Ning Qian's fingers were covered with wounds and her blood was almost drained.
She stared at the demon cocoon in her arms in a daze and continuously channeled her demon power into it.
The demon cocoon emitted a faint red light after being filled with her blood. However, it could not stop the baby's life force from fading away.
Ning Qian shed tears of despair. She was sad and helpless. Her tears fell on the demon cocoon and melted into a few drops of blood.
She immediately wiped away her tears in a panic and bit her finger again, wanting to replenish her own blood at the spot where the blood had melted.
However, there was no more blood in her meridians … If she was a mortal, she would have already died. However, for Nascent Soul cultivators, as long as their Nascent Soul was not destroyed, they would still be alive.
"There's no more blood. What should I do …"
She looked anxious. Suddenly, she thought of something. She took out a small and sharp flying sword and pierced it into her heart.
"I still have … heart blood … Fortunately, fortunately …"
Her heart was shattered. Ning Qian's cultivation base began to fall from late Nascent Soul to middle stage, early stage … Even her Nascent Soul began to become unstable …
She didn't have time to care about her injuries and cultivation base. She just took out a jade bottle and collected the heart blood drop by drop before smearing it on the demon cocoon.
However, even after smearing the heart blood, the baby in the demon cocoon was still walking towards death.
One day, two days … On the third day, Ning Qian held the demon cocoon with trembling body. She looked at the red light that was gradually disappearing from the demon cocoon and felt the breath that was getting weaker and weaker. She was in so much pain …
On the fourth day, the baby stopped breathing completely … and died …
"No —"
Ning Qian's voice was hoarse. Her tears had dried up and her body was trembling uncontrollably. It was as if her soul had been pulled out and she had lost the whole world …
"Mother won't let you die! Mother won't let you die!!! "
Her dim beautiful eyes were filled with sorrow that couldn't be dispersed.
She looked at the spinning world in a daze as if she was going crazy … She couldn't lose this child! She couldn't!
Her eyes were always soft and gentle, but at this moment, there was an indelible persistence!
No one could take her child away!
As long as she could get the child's life back, she was willing to pay any price!
Chi!
The flying sword pierced into her dantian and pierced through her Nascent Soul. Ning Qian couldn't feel the pain anymore. Her eyes were empty as she smeared the blood of her Nascent Soul on the demon cocoon.
That was the life blood of a Nascent Soul cultivator. When the blood ran out, it would be the moment of her death!
"I beg you … give me back my child …"
"I beg you …"
"I … I beg … you …"
Ning Qian begged and prayed helplessly. Her soul was about to dissipate and she only hoped that her child could be revived before her soul dissipated.
At this moment, Ning Qian had lost all her cultivation and died in an instant. However, her persistence as a mother was something that even the Heavenly Dao couldn't erase!
She dispersed the demon blood and the blood mist covered the entire Weeping Blood Forest. Even the water in the pond was dyed blood red.
The baby in the demon cocoon's breathing gradually calmed down. In his sleep, he suddenly laughed in a childish voice. It was unknown what kind of sweet dream he had …
Ning Qian revealed a pale smile. She had saved her child from the hands of fate …
In this way, even if her soul dissipated, she wouldn't have any regrets …
The baby sucked on his finger and was still giggling. How could he understand that he was about to lose his mother?
Ning Qian's heart started to ache. She wanted to accompany this child and watch him grow up day by day …
It was a pity that she might not be able to live to that day …
She took out a blood-red Thunder Grass from her storage pouch and planted it beside the pond. Then, she placed the demon cocoon in the pond.
"Mother can't bring you back to the Rain Palace. It's too dangerous there … I'll leave this Thunder Grass with you. With the help of the qi of your demon cocoon, she might have a chance to become your demon companion … Thunder Grass, oh Thunder Grass. If you can borrow the demon force of my son to transform, you will become my son's demon companion. Remember to protect him for a lifetime … If that day comes, you will be called Ning Honghong …"
Ning Qian's qi almost dissipated. She looked at the pond with sadness and reluctance.
"My child, my child. Remember, your surname is Yun. Don't hate father. He has only forgotten about us temporarily … When he remembers everything, he will definitely come to find you and bring you home … "
"I'm sorry … from now on, mother can't take care of you anymore …"
Ning Qian ignited the last trace of her Nascent Soul. A faint blood light rose around her body. She used the last trace of her strength to escape from Wu Country and headed towards a certain direction.
She wanted to see Yun Tianjue one last time before she died.
She didn't have the mood to care about those enemies.
She also didn't want to ask why Yun Tianjue lost his memory.
She just wanted to tell Yun Tianjue at the last moment of her life that their child was still alive in Wu Country …
...
The dream continued.
After an unknown number of years, this demon forest was called the Weeping Blood Forest because of the blood-like red mist.
Countless cultivators of Wu Land came here to train, but Ning Qian never came again.
After accompanying the demon cocoon for dozens of years, the Thunder Grass beside the pond was nourished by the demon cocoon's demonic energy and started to transform.
This Thunder Grass was originally the primordial spirit of a peerless expert. It transformed into a red-clothed woman.
As soon as it transformed, it had the terrifying cultivation of Peak Nascent Soul Realm.
The woman stared blankly at the pond, forgetting about her past. The only thing she remembered was the reminder of a woman.
From then on, she was Ning Honghong. From then on, she had to protect the demon cocoon in the pond.
She started to cultivate diligently and built the Ning Family in Hai Ning of Wu Land.
She didn't know how long she had to protect the demon cocoon. All she did was hunt demonic beasts and collect their blood. She smeared it on the demon cocoon and replenished the vitality of the baby inside.
In the past, the baby whose bloodline was extracted lost all its cultivation aptitude, but its life was preserved.
One year, the sealed gate of the Ancient Heavenly Court was opened.
Ning Honghong entered the gate and tried to find some spiritual items to nourish the baby. However, she died in the Ancient Heavenly Court. A trace of her soul drifted into the Demon Sinister Forest from the entrance of a grand formation …
Spring passed and autumn came. Year after year … One day after a thousand years, the demon cocoon broke. A ray of blood light carried the baby and landed in a mortal town five thousand li * (500m per li) away from the Weeping Blood Forest …
Three years later, the mortal town was destroyed due to war. A cultivator of the Ning Family who passed by took away a few orphans …
...
Awakening from a Thousand Years Dream!
Ning Fan consumed twenty Min Luo Fruits and sat in the Weeping Blood Forest for ten days.
Ten days later, he opened his eyes and fell into a long silence.
"Have you found my sister's whereabouts?!" Yun Ruowei asked anxiously.
“...”
Ning Fan didn't say much. He just took out a Pure Bottle Magic Treasure and squatted beside the pond, collecting all the blood-red water.
He took out another Pure Bottle and used his magic power to collect all the blood mist within a thousand li * (500m per li).
He jumped into the muddy bottom of the dried pond and picked up all the broken shells of the demon cocoon. Then, he carefully kept them in the jade box.
He tied the blue jade pendant with a green rainbow thread and wore it around his neck. The green rainbow thread was an extremely precious material for refining treasures. It could even be used to refine immortal treasures …
"I'm sorry … I couldn't find her …"
"I'm sorry …"
