At dusk, the night breeze blew through the bamboo forest, and the bamboo leaves rustled. The sun fell between the mountains and rivers, revealing only a fragment of its afterglow.
Qing Dai led the way at the front while Ning Fan followed behind her at a slow pace.
He didn't ask any questions about Master Qingdai. He just felt the faint longing and sadness in the bamboo forest.
When he first entered the Thought Sifting Bamboo Sea, he did not pay attention to Xiang Feizhu.
Now that he was stepping into the depths of the bamboo sea, he could feel that each of the Lady Xiang Bamboo here was filled with a trace of sorrow …
From time to time, Qing Dai would move forward in small steps. Sometimes, she would transform into a beam of light and travel thousands of miles.
Ning Fan followed closely behind her. Gradually, they were already one million li * (500m per li) away from Si Luo City.
The Xiang Fei Bamboos here were obviously much thicker than those in other places. Occasionally, there would be one or two Xiang Fei Bamboos that contained a very faint Bamboo Divine Intent.
The deeper he went, the more Xiang Fei Bamboos that contained the Divine Will of Bamboo.
This was a bamboo forest that was rarely visited by people. The ground was piled with thick bamboo leaves.
In the deepest part of the bamboo forest stood a gigantic Xiang Fei Bamboo!
Qing Dai stopped in front of the gigantic bamboo while Ning Fan's eyes turned cold.
From this giant bamboo, he felt a heavy sense of oppression!
The Divine Intent of Bamboo contained within this giant bamboo was unimaginably vast, and it was absolutely a first-grade Bamboo Intent!
Under this boundless bamboo intent, Ning Fan felt as if his body was about to be assimilated and turned into a Xiang Fei Bamboo.
A dark-gold snowy light flashed in his eyes as he urged the power of the Memory Concept to resist the pressure of the first-grade Bamboo Intent.
"Junior Lu Bei greets senior."
Ning Fan cupped his fists at the gigantic bamboo. He could tell that the Divine Intent of Bamboo was just unconsciously given out by the gigantic bamboo. It did not have any malicious intent.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to resist the First Grade Bamboo Intent of the giant bamboo even if his Memory Intent Realm had reached the Second Step because he did not have a deep understanding of the Memory Intent Realm.
Since Qing Dai brought him to see this giant bamboo, it was very likely that this giant bamboo was Qing Dai's master.
"Second step Concept? That's right … I'm Qingdai's master. Qing 'er, you go back first. I have something to say to Lu Bei. "
"Yes." Qing Dai didn't dare to disobey her master's order. She bowed to the giant bamboo and left.
Before she left, she secretly sent a voice transmission to Ning Fan. "Big Brother Lu, she is my master. My master is a good person. You don't have to be afraid. She won't make things difficult for you … trust me. "
Qing Dai turned into a rainbow and returned to Si Luo City.
After Qing Dai left, a layer of faint green light suddenly appeared on the giant bamboo.
Within the green light, a beautiful woman in green with a slightly illusory figure walked out from the giant bamboo.
She looked to be in her thirties. Her appearance was mature and beautiful. Her brows were clear and cold, and there was a hint of majesty hidden within.
She was dressed in a green silk dress, and her hair was coiled up high with a green jade hairpin inserted into her hair bun.
Her aura was oppressive, and there was even a faint imperial aura flowing within her body. Her bamboo will was even more powerful.
However, she did not have a trace of magic power in her body. Her entire body was nothing more than an illusory remnant soul. It was as if his soul would dissipate at any moment …
"I'm Youhuang … I asked Qing 'er to find you because I want to ask you about Mu Luo's whereabouts."
"Secluded Bamboo!"
Ning Fan's expression visibly changed. Obviously, he had heard of this name before from the Ming Luo Tree Spirit.
The Ming Luo Tree Spirit once wanted to ask Ning Fan to look for Youhuang. However, he did not finish his sentence and just let out a long sigh …
As for Mu Luo, it was the name of the Ming Luo Tree Spirit. The tree spirit had also told Ning Fan about this.
Even though Ning Fan did not know the relationship between Youhuang and Mu Luo, he could vaguely guess that Youhuang was an extremely important person to Mu Luo.
Perhaps, this woman was the love of Mu Luo's life …
"Has he mentioned me to you before …? Is he still well? Is he really still alive …?" Youhuang's expression was as calm as still water. All of her facial expressions had been dried by the wind of time.
However, under those calm words, there was a longing that could not be erased by life and death!
Longing for Mu Luo!
Ning Fan was vaguely sure that Youhuang and Mu Luo were a couple without a doubt.
He once heard that the sea of bamboo appeared after Mu Luo went missing.
He could imagine that after Mu Luo went missing, Youhuang must have been waiting for him at this place day after day until he died.
Mu Luo turned into an old tree. That was the Tree Transformation Technique that he created himself. It was a heaven-defying divine ability of immortality.
Youhuang turned into a sea of bamboos. The sea of bamboos was born because of her bamboo intent. It was infused with all of her longing … However, this divine ability was not the transformation of a tree.
Youhuang didn't know about the heaven-defying divine ability of tree transformation. She had already died during the long wait …
The remnant soul in front of him was the last trace of her fragrant soul that was attached to the Xiang Fei Bamboo. It had no magic power or divine ability. All she had was her longing for him day after day.
Mu Luo was old and Youhuang was dead …
As for this trace of Youhuang's remnant soul, it had already lost the possibility of entering the reincarnation cycle because of her stubbornness in staying in this world.
She couldn't leave this sea of bamboos. Once she leaves, this last trace of her remnant soul would vanish …
"Senior Mu Luo … is very good … but he can't leave the Rain World. He's trapped in the Rain World while I'm a cultivator of the Rain World."
Ning Fan sighed slightly and told her everything about how he met Mu Luo in detail.
Youhuang listened quietly. Her eyes were as calm as still water, as if nothing could disturb her mood.
However, her trembling hands that were hidden in her sleeves had betrayed her true feelings.
She was very excited … when she heard from Ning Fan that Mu Luo was still alive, she couldn't help but feel excited.
It was just that when she heard that Mu Luo couldn't leave the Dark Sparrow's Grave for the rest of his life and his incarnation could only move around Yue Country … Youhuang's eyes were finally filled with sorrow.
It was as if all her faith and hope had collapsed at this moment …
"Is he … not coming back …?"
"I've turned into a Xiu Bamboo here and waited for him in the wind and rain for two million years, just to see him again, but in the end, I can't see him anymore …"
"My remnant soul can't leave the sea of bamboos in this life … his old body can't leave the Dark Sparrow's Grave in this life … we'll never meet again …"
"The most beautiful thing in the world is to have a pair of lovers in one generation. The cruelest thing in the world is to miss each other but not to marry each other … "
Youhuang closed her eyes painfully. She just wanted to see Mu Luo again. Why was it so difficult?
The bamboos in the entire sea of bamboos began to wither and wither in the twilight.
Youhuang's remnant soul became more illusory and haggard because of sorrow.
The hollow bamboo had a soul residing in it. The soul was rooted in the heart of the bamboo. The reason why the remnant soul could ignore the reincarnation and reside in the bamboo was because of its persistence.
If the heart was sad, the bamboo would perish and the soul would die …
Happy to know each other again, sad not to be separated forever …
My heart was like a bamboo, longing for you to return. My body had turned into the sea and you didn't know …
That day, I closed my eyes in the fragrant mist of the bamboo palace and suddenly heard the mantra in your chanting.
That month, I shook all the sutras, not to release souls from purgatory, but to touch your fingertips.
That year, I turned into the everlasting sea of bamboos, not to have an audience with you, but to wait for the warmth of your late return.
That life, I endured two million years of loneliness and abandoned the next life, just to see you again in this life.
But we will never meet again in this life …
But you owe me happiness. What can you use to make up for it …
You still owe me a pot of wine and a promise …
Gradually, Youhuang calmed down her sorrow and regained her cold expression.
She slowly opened her mouth and said, "Fellow Daoist, can you promise me a request? Don't tell Mu Luo that my remnant soul is still in this world …"
After hearing Youhuang's request, Ning Fan was startled at first. Then, he seemed to have understood something and sighed softly.
If Mu Luo could break free from the shackles of the Dark Sparrow's Grave, if Mu Luo could turn back into a human from a tree, he could return to the Tree World and reunite with Youhuang, but it was too difficult …
If Youhuang wasn't a remnant soul, if she didn't attach her soul to the bamboo, she could also leave the Tree World and head to the Rain World to see Mu Luo again.
Under normal circumstances, they would never meet again in this life.
However, Ning Fan remembered that Mu Luo had once told him that if Mu Luo risked his life, he could burn his demon soul and leave the Dark Sparrow's Grave in a short period of time …
If Mu Luo knew that Youhuang was waiting for him here, he would certainly risk his life to return to the Tree World to meet her.
Therefore, Youhuang begged Ning Fan not to tell Mu Luo that her remnant soul was still alive.
She was worried that Mu Luo would do something stupid …
However, if she had to give up her life just to see Mu Luo once, she would definitely not hesitate to do so.
"No, I want to tell Senior Mu Luo that the woman he loves is still alive. Although it's only a remnant soul, we can still stay together in this life. "Ning Fan suddenly said.
"What?! You can't say that. If you say that, Mu Luo will surely … "Youhuang was shocked. Just as she was about to plead, Ning Fan waved his hand and said.
"Senior Youhuang doesn't need to worry. In fact, I have a way to let you meet Senior Ming Luo. It's a very safe way. No one will die."
"Impossible. I can't leave the sea of bamboo and Mu Luo can't leave the Dark Sparrow's Grave. We will never meet again …"
"No, there is a way. It's just that ordinary people can't think of it … Maybe they can think of it, but they can't do it. "
Ning Fan smiled faintly, took out the blood umbrella magical treasure and said. "I have a small chiliocosm spatial treasure here. If Senior is willing to leave the Tree World, I can move the entire sea of Ming Luo Bamboos within this spatial treasure and bring it back to the Rain World!"
Of course, most people wouldn't think of using this kind of trick to dig away the sea of bamboos that the secluded bamboo had turned into, and even the land was taken away.
Moreover, even if someone thought of this method, they wouldn't be able to move the entire sea of bamboo that covered an area of four million kilometers.
Ordinary cultivators from the Tree World couldn't even reach the Rain World.
An ordinary grotto-heaven magic treasure would not be able to contain the four million miles of bamboo sea.
Only a Small Chiliocosm Cosmos Treasure could contain the entire Sifting Bamboo Sea. However, there were not many Void Fragmentation Realm experts in the Nine Worlds who possessed a small chiliocosm cosmos treasure.
A small chiliocosm treasure contained a small chiliocosm. The realms of the Nine Realms were only at the level of a small chiliocosm. Generally speaking, only the mighty figures of the Four Heavens would have a small chiliocosm treasure.
It was already rare for a lower realm cultivator to have a damaged minor thousand treasure.
You Huang covered her red lips and stared at Ning Fan's blood umbrella in disbelief.
She was certain that Ning Fan's blood umbrella magic treasure was a rare small chiliocosm cosmos treasure which contained a small chiliocosm!
Ning Fan's method was feasible!
However, if he wanted to take away all of the land within four million kilometers, he would need a lot of magic power and cultivation.
Even a cultivator at the First Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm would only be able to cast their techniques within one million li * (500m per li).
With Ning Fan's current cultivation base, even if he goes all out, he could at most collect seven hundred thousand li * (500m per li) of the sea of bamboo in one go.
If he couldn't collect the four million miles of bamboo sea in one go, the remnant soul of the Youhuang would definitely dissipate …
In order to achieve a range of four million li * (500m per li), one must at least possess the cultivation base of the Void Fragmentation Realm …
Ning Fan's method was indeed feasible. However, as of now, he could not take away the entire Thought Sifting Bamboo Sea and he could not bring her to see Mu Luo.
"This method is very good, but your cultivation base isn't enough to move the entire Sifting Bamboo Sea … but I can wait. When you break through to the Fifth Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm one day, bring me to the Rain World to see Mu Luo …" You Huang sighed softly.
"With my cultivation, it is indeed not enough for me to collect the entire Sifting Bamboo Sea in one go. However, if a large formation was set up and the power of the formation was used to cast spells, this problem could be easily solved. Senior Youhuang can rest assured, I have full confidence in this matter. "
"The only problem is that this formation covers an area of four million kilometers. It's too wide, so it's not suitable to set it up. Furthermore, the requirements for the formation were strict and there was no room for error. Therefore, if I want to perfectly set up the formation and cover the entire Sifting Bamboo Sea, I will need a long time. "
"When this formation is completed, I will use this umbrella to collect the entire Sifting Bamboo Sea and bring it back to the Rain World so that the two of you can reunite. This way, I can repay Senior Mu Luo's kindness in protecting my hometown. "
Ning Fan kept the blood umbrella and looked at the secluded bamboo with a faint smile.
You Huang used to be the previous Bamboo Sovereign of the Bamboo Palace. He had a calm temperament. However, after hearing Ning Fan's plan, he could not help but feel a little happy.
At first, when she heard that Mu Luo had gone missing, she only waited for a long time.
Two million years later, when she found out from Ning Fan that Mu Luo was still alive, she was extremely excited. She thought that the result she had been waiting for had finally arrived.
However, when she heard that she would never be able to see Mu Luo again, she began to feel sad again.
Now that Ning Fan had a way to bring her to Mu Luo, she was naturally very happy.
After a brief moment of joy, she remembered that the reason why she asked Ning Fan to come here today was to bestow him a fortune.
Mu Luo was a demon cultivator, while the Underworld Sifter Clan was a tree demon.
You Huang, on the other hand, was a divine cultivator.
She was almost the divine cultivator with the strongest bloodline in the history of the Tree World. Coincidentally, the Bamboo Ancestor bestowed her with his blood which allowed her to condense half a drop of divine blood. She had a bright future ahead of her …
However, for Mu Luo, she gave up some of her cultivation base, fortune, life and bloodline and turned into a sea of bamboo to wait for Mu Luo's return …
She could no longer use any of her magic power.
However, she had once possessed half a drop of the ancestral blood of an earth god after all. With the connection between the ancestral blood, she sensed a drop of ancestral blood that had yet to be refined from Ning Fan's body …
It was the natal blood rain that the Rain Ancestor had bestowed upon him!
If Ning Fan refines this blood rain and turns it into his divine blood, You Huang would not be able to sense it.
Unfortunately, Ning Fan had yet to refine this blood rain. That was why she could barely sense it.
"The reason why I asked you to come here today was to give Mu Luo face. I wanted to help you refine the ancestral blood of the divine race … Now that you are willing to help me meet Mu Luo, I will certainly help you refine this blood to repay this kindness!"
You Huang's eyes were solemn and firm. Ning Fan, on the other hand, was slightly stunned.
Before he came here, Qing Dai had told him that her master would bestow him some fortune.
Even though Ning Fan was already mentally prepared, he did not expect that the fortune that You Huang would bestow upon him would actually help him refine the blood rain of the Rain Ancestor!
If Ning Fan's rain intent breaks through to the first grade, he would be able to refine this drop of blood rain with his own ability.
Currently, his rain intent had yet to reach the first grade. However, with You Huang's help, he would naturally be able to refine the blood rain.
Ning Fan was busy preparing for breaking through to the Void Pierce Stage. As soon as his spiritual puppets were repaired, he would begin to break through to the Void Pierce Stage.
Refining the blood rain was not part of his plan. If refining the blood rain was included in his plan, he did not know how much his cultivation base would increase.
Perhaps, this time, he would not only be able to break through to the Void Pierce Stage but also the Absolute Void Stage in one go …
If his cultivation base breaks through to the Absolute Void Stage in one go, the other problem would no longer be a problem …
With Ning Fan's Absolute Void Stage cultivation base after breaking through, his magic power was almost infinitely close to the Void Fragmentation Realm with the help of his incarnation and Soul Extracting Technique.
With this level of magic power, the difference in cultivation base between him and a Void Fragmentation Realm spiritual puppet would not be too big. Thus, the lifespan consumed by using the Life Imprisoning Technique would be greatly reduced …
It would be fine if the heavenly tribulation does not appear this time.
However, if it does appear …
"I wonder if I can break through to the Absolute Void Stage in one go!"
