Clay figurines …
Ning Fan nodded and kept Xiang Bozi's advice in mind. Then, his eyes swept across the plants on the wooden island. He felt that every single blade of grass and tree had an indescribable sense of transcendence, as if it was incompatible with all the noise in the outside world.
The rustling sound of the wind blowing through the pine forest was mixed with the vague sound of a bell that seemed to be near and far.
Every time the sound of the bell reverberated in Ning Fan's Sea of Consciousness, his mind would become clearer and his cultivation base would improve a little. Even though the improvement was not much, it was enough to show that the sound of the bell was extraordinary.
The only thing that made Ning Fan frown was that the bell actually had the intention of advising people to avoid the world. Ning Fan was not bewitched by the bell because of his high cultivation base. If ordinary true immortals were here, they would probably have the thought of converting to Buddhism as soon as they heard the bell. They would abandon everything in the mortal world and choose to enter the Buddhist Gate.
"What a powerful bell. It's my first time seeing such a level of Buddhist ability since I started cultivating the Dao." Ning Fan praised.
"This bell contains the power of the Absolute Leakage Connection, one of the six abilities of the Buddhist Gate. Most of the high-level Buddhist cultivators live in the Western Heaven. There are almost no Buddhist cultivators in the Eastern Heaven who have cultivated the Absolute Leakage Connection. It's normal that you have never seen this ability before." Xiang Bozi explained with a smile.
"The six abilities of the Buddhist Gate?" Ning Fan was slightly stunned.
He did not know much about Buddhist cultivators. It was his first time hearing this term.
"The six abilities of the Buddhist Gate are the Heavenly Eye Connection, Heavenly Ear Connection, Mind Connection, Destiny Connection, Divine Feet Connection and Absolute Leakage Connection. The Heavenly Eye Connection cultivates the Dharma Eye Connection while the Heavenly Ear Connection cultivates the Spiritual Sense Connection. The Mind Connection can peek into a person's heart. The Destiny Connection can see the changes of samsara in the past and the present. The Divine Feet Connection can generate the power of hundreds of millions of dharma bodies. The Absolute Leakage Connection can cut off all the entanglements in the world. Mu Song's bell contains the power of the Absolute Leakage Connection. If your cultivation base is not strong enough, you will definitely convert to Buddhism after hearing this bell and abandon the mortal world. "
Xiang Bozi explained while leading Ning Fan to the center of the wooden island.
It wasn't that he couldn't fly, but that Daoist Mu Song had a strange temperament. He didn't like people flying in his territory. Xiang Bozi had come with a request, so naturally, he wouldn't violate the taboo.
The wooden island was not big. It was just a small island with a radius of ten li * (500m per li). Looking from the outside, it looked like a ferocious tiger hiding in the sea of stars.
The island was filled with Luohan Pines which were hundreds of ancient pines that were several tens of zhang tall. the center of the center.
From time to time, some mud men would emerge from the surface of the pine forest and attack Ning Fan and Jian Wushuang without hesitation.
In the beginning, these clay figurines all had the cultivation base of Void Shedding. Thus, they naturally could not stop Ning Fan and Xiang Bozi from advancing. Thus, they were easily killed by them.
However, as time went on, even the Thought Shattering Clay Man began to appear. "Fan and," Memory Li "," Li "and said." Ling "Ning," Ling., "Ning Li" was "Ling" Ning, Ning said.
Ning "Feng King" Fan was able. "King" Fan 'Ling "Ning of Fan is.." Ning "Ning Dong as. as, said Jiang Ling" Ning "Ling" Ning said. had.
Naturally, the difference in strength between them and Ning Fan was just too great. Thus, they were still easily killed by Ning Fan. However, Ning Fan still wore a solemn expression.
"This is the power of the [Mind Connection]. It can predict the thoughts of the opponent and make decisions in advance during a battle." Xiang Bozi explained.
"It's the power of the [Mind Connection]. It can predict the thoughts of the opponent and make decisions in advance during a battle. It has endless uses." Xiang Bozi explained.
"It's the six abilities of the Buddhist Gate again, huh? In other words, these mud men can see through my thoughts with the power of the [Mind Connection]? "Ning Fan's eyes narrowed.
He did not want to let a group of mud men see through his thoughts.
"Hehe. The [Mind Connection] can only be effective when there is a huge gap between our cultivation bases. It can see through all your thoughts. With your Immortal Venerable cultivation base, even a Third Level Quasi-Saint Buddha cultivator would not be able to see through your thoughts. These mud men can only predict your next attack at most. They can't do anything else. "Xiang Bozi explained.
"I see."
Knowing that the [Mind Connection] would not be able to see through his thoughts, Ning Fan felt relieved. If everyone could see through his thoughts, the [Mind Connection] would be too terrifying.
Speaking of which, his Mind Reading Technique was somewhat similar to the [Mind Connection] of the Buddhist Gate. He wondered if the Great Emperor Ancient Chaos had taken reference from the Buddhist Gate when he created this ability.
After walking along the pine forest for about three li, a Holy Virtue Divine Art Stele suddenly appeared at the side of the path.
The tortoise beast that was carrying the stele was vivid and lifelike. Vaguely, it was a demon corpse of the Tortoise Clan that had died countless years ago. However, the baleful qi that came rushing towards him could still be felt!
The baleful qi was too strong. Ning Fan could almost immediately tell that this tortoise beast that had died countless years ago had a cultivation base comparable to a Sixth Tribulation Immortal Emperor when it was alive!
This Daoist Mu Song was really generous. He actually used an Immortal Emperor Demon Corpse to carry a stele!
The stele on the tortoise beast's back was ordinary. There was nothing special about it. There were only two simple words on it.
[World Deception]!
These two words were written in wild cursive. They were written with demon blood. Even now, the words were dark red as if blood could seep out from them.
The words were filled with arrogance and domineering aura. They were like sharp swords that could not be ignored by others.
On the back of the stele, there was a line of small words.
'I have been domineering for half of my life. Heaven is unfair, so I will be fair! There are evils in the world, so I will eliminate them! '
The inscription was Venerated Mu Nanzun. The date was the year 934620,000 of the Heavenly Emperor's Calendar.
Ning Fan had no idea who Venerated Mu Nanzun was. However, he had heard of the Heavenly Emperor's Calendar before. It was the calendar that was set by the Heavenly Emperor when the ancient Heavenly Court was first built a billion years ago.
A thousand years was like a snap of a finger in the cultivation world. Therefore, the calendar of the ancient Heavenly Court only used ten thousand years to record the years. Even though the ancient Heavenly Court had been destroyed a long time ago, many cultivators in the later generations still used this calendar.
The date of the inscription was about sixty million years ago.
"Venerated Mu Nanzun was Mu Song's common name before he became the Heavenly Emperor. This stele was erected by him when he was still a quasi-emperor. "Xiang Bozi explained.
Ning Fan's eyes slightly moved. When that Daoist Mu Song was still a quasi-emperor, he had already killed an immortal emperor of the Turtle Clan. So, he erected this stele here? He's really a ruthless character.
When he turned his head to look at the two words' World Deception ', Ning Fan felt that these two words were sharp and domineering. It was imaginable how domineering Daoist Mu Song was before he became a sovereign.
When he recalled the arrogant words' Heaven is unfair, so I will be fair ', Ning Fan seemed to see the image of a Daoist who ruled the world and enforced justice on behalf of Heaven.
It turned out that the two words' World Deception 'meant to sweep away all the evils of the world …
After a long time, Ning Fan followed Xiang Bozi into the depths of the pine forest. After walking for a while, he saw the second Holy Virtue Divine Art Stele.
This stele was just an ordinary stone stele made of a tortoise carrying a stele. It was not a real demon corpse.
The two words' World Avoidance 'were engraved on the front of the stele. It was less murderous but more otherworldly.
There was also a line of words engraved on the back of the stele.
'In my twilight years, I was stuck at the bottleneck of the Eighth Tribulation Realm, unable to advance to the Ninth Tribulation Realm. Because I went to the Western Heaven, I listened to the Buddha's voice and comprehended the true meaning of World Avoidance. I washed away all my sharpness and stopped caring about worldly affairs. Then, I cultivated to the Peak Emperor Realm.'
The inscription was Great Emperor Zhang Mu. The date was 272.26 million of the Western Heaven Calendar.
Needless to say, Great Emperor Zhang Mu was most likely the title of Daoist Mu Song's Sovereign Immortal Emperor.
As for the Western Heaven Calendar, it was another calendar. After the ancient Heavenly Court was destroyed, Buddhist cultivators lived in the Western Heaven. Since the beginning of the calendar, it had been three hundred million years.
The date of the inscription on the stele was about thirty million years ago.
"This stele was erected by Mu Song when he was at the Peak Nine Tribulation Realm." Xiang Bozi explained.
Ning Fan looked at the second stele with a frown.
Even though the first stele was domineering, it dared to complain about the unfairness of the world. It was not hard to imagine that Daoist Mu Song was a cultivator who took the rise and fall of the world as his own responsibility.
Even though Ning Fan was not that kind of person, he had always had some respect for cultivators who cared about the world.
However, this second stele was filled with negative Dao Aura of avoiding the world. Ning Fan especially disliked the word 'World Avoidance'. In his life, whenever he encountered difficulties, he would always face them head-on. He would use force to overcome force and never give in.
There was no such thing as' World Avoidance 'in his life. He did not look at the second stele for too long. If he did, his Dao Heart might be contaminated by the World Avoidance Dao Intent on the stele.
The two of them continued to walk deeper into the pine forest. At the deepest part of the forest, they saw an ancient temple. Outside the temple stood the third stele.
This stele did not have a tortoise carrying a stele. Instead, it directly took a towering ancient tree, shaved off its surface and erected it as a wooden stele.
Two words were engraved on the front of the stele.
'World Isolation' …
On the back of the stele, a line of ancient and mysterious words was engraved.
'The Purple Star is on the left, the Big Dipper is on the right. When you open your eyes, it's a dream. When you close your eyes, it's emptiness.'
What does it mean? Ning Fan could not understand it at all.
It was signed by Daoist Mu Song and the time was' twelve million years after opening your eyes' …
This time, Daoist Mu Song did not use the Western Heaven Calendar to record the year. Instead, he used something that Ning Fan could not understand at all.
What does it mean …
"'Purple Star on the left, Big Dipper on the right. When you open your eyes, it's a dream. When you close your eyes, it's emptiness.' This sentence was the incantation that was engraved on the nine stone gates of Infinite Desolation. It is said that this sentence contained a divine ability left behind by an Immortal Sovereign. Many Immortal Emperors knew about this sentence. However, none of them could comprehend the true meaning of this sentence. In the past, Mu Song went to the Western Heaven. After he came back, he cultivated the World Isolation Meditation and broke through to the Peak Nine Tribulation Realm. However, he could not make any progress after that. Later on, he seemed to have comprehended something from this sentence and changed to cultivate the World Isolation Meditation. 'World Isolation' and 'World Isolation' were only one word apart but they were fundamentally different. After that, he successfully broke through to the Quasi-Saint Realm … "
Xiang Bozi seemed to recall the past and said with a nostalgic expression.
"I got to know Mu Song when we were young. Mu Song's innate talent was extremely high. No matter how hard I tried to catch up to him, my strength would always be slightly inferior to him. When he was hiding from the world, I was not as strong as him but the gap between us was still small. When he was hiding from the world, the gap between us was already huge. After he went into seclusion, I was no longer his match. Seven million years ago, I had a duel with him. During that battle, I used seventy percent of my strength while Mu Song only used thirty percent. In the end, it ended in a draw … "
When he said that, Xiang Bozi smiled bitterly. After not seeing Mu Song for seven million years, the gap between him and Mu Song had probably widened.
Moreover, he often suspected that Mu Song had already broken through to the Second Level Quasi-Saint Realm seven million years ago. Otherwise, how could he fight him to a draw with just thirty percent of his cultivation base …
Ning Fan was slightly speechless. He did not expect that Mu Song's strength would actually be so terrifying after cultivating the World Isolation Meditation.
Hiding from the world, seclusion …
If these three words were to be regarded as the three stages of Mu Song's cultivation, Ning Fan could understand the first two stages but he could not understand the third stage.
What is seclusion?
Were there such spells carved on the nine stone gates of Infinite Wasteland? He was busy killing Yinmo with the eyeball monster and did not pay attention to the Infinite Wilderness Stone Gate.
"What do you mean by the twelve millionth spring and autumn after opening my eyes?" Ning Fan asked again.
"Haha, this old man doesn't know the meaning of those words. If I could, this old man wouldn't be so much weaker than Mu Song," Xiang Bozi said with a bitter smile.
At this moment, the voice of an old-fashioned old man suddenly came from the meditation room in the ancient temple. It was cold and unapproachable.
"Xiang Bozi, is it? I haven't seen you for seven million years, yet you've come to this old man's place again. You want to lose to me again? Don't you feel ashamed? "
His tone was rather sharp, but Mu Song and Xiang Bozi were friends, so there was no harm in exchanging a few words.
Sure enough, Xiang Bozi wasn't angered when he heard this. Instead, he scolded with a smile, "I haven't seen you for seven million years, and my cultivation has improved greatly. It won't be as easy for you to defeat me this time."
"Is that so? Then I'll have to ask you for advice later. However, before that, can you send those unrelated people away first?! Ma! "
A sudden Buddha roar came from the meditation room and went straight to Ning Fan. It was just a 'ma' sound but it carried the aura force of dragons and tigers.
Even with Xiang Bozi's cultivation base, he felt a slight pain in his eardrums when he was affected by the Buddha roar.
Ning Fan, who was at the center of the Buddha roar, felt an unprecedentedly heavy pressure!
Strong! Extremely strong!
Even though Daoist Mu Song's cultivation base was not as terrifying as Yin Mo's, the pressure he brought to Ning Fan was much heavier than when he fought against Yin Mo.
After all, when he fought against Yin Mo in the past, it was the eyeball monster who took the lead. Ning Fan did not have to bear Yin Mo's pressure alone. This time, however, it was different.
It was as if there were billions of monks roaring at the same time. That roar reverberated in Ning Fan's Sea of Consciousness like thunder. In an instant, Ning Fan's face turned pale and black blood flowed out from his ears.
This roar might not be as powerful as the roar of the ancient great devil, but it was not much weaker than the roar that would weaken ten years later!
Under this roar, Ning Fan felt unbearable pain all over his body. The ancient devil cultivation base in his body, in particular, was showing signs of melting like the snow in the early spring!
What a domineering Buddha roar. It could actually dissolve the ancient devil power in Ning Fan's body with just a single roar!
"Wait! This Little Friend Ning is my friend. Today, I also have something to ask of you. Quickly stop! "
Xiang Bozi's voice became anxious. He suddenly flicked his sleeves, as if he wanted to sweep away the Buddha roar in heaven and earth to save Ning Fan.
Mu Song, on the other hand, let out a cold snort. He activated his ability and the power of the Buddha roar instantly multiplied. Even with Xiang Bozi's cultivation base, he could not disperse the Buddha roar around Ning Fan.
"This young man has violated two of my taboos. My wooden island doesn't welcome him! Since he is your friend, I will let him go and spare his life. You can bring him away. I won't help you with the matter that you're asking for! "
He actually did not care about his friendship with Xiang Bozi and directly chased him away. It was obvious that he was a loner.
Xiang Bozi smiled bitterly. He knew about Mu Song's taboos.
Mu Song did not like outsiders entering his island. Bringing Ning Fan here had violated his first taboo.
Mu Song did not like ancient devils. This was the usual attitude of Buddhist cultivators. He hated ancient devils. However, Ning Fan had the ancient devil qi on him. Thus, he had violated his second taboo.
* Sigh * At first, I thought that Mu Song would accept Ning Fan into the island for my sake. If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have brought Ning Fan here.
Xiang Bozi's smile became even more bitter. His original intention of coming here was not just for the Heaven Opening Stone. He also wanted to introduce Ning Fan to Mu Song, a senior. How could he not bring Ning Fan here?
One should know that even the dark races were wary of Mu Song. If Ning Fan was fortunate enough to gain Mu Song's favor and protection, the dark races would have to think twice before attacking Ning Fan again.
Xiang Bozi's original intention was to let Mu Song become Ning Fan's backer in the future. Now, however, it seemed like he had outsmarted himself.
"Forget it. I will bring him away first. Quickly withdraw your Buddha roar. Don't destroy his cultivation base …"
Just as Xiang Bozi's words left his mouth, he saw Ning Fan withstanding the might of the Buddha roar. Amidst the tens of thousands of sound waves, Ning Fan took a step towards an extremely tricky and strange direction.
It was just one step, but it left a dazzling golden footprint on the loose soil. Then it was the second step, the third step, step by step, step by step.
"This is … the Prestige Character Art of the Eastern Demon Ancestor!" Xiang Bozi's eyes immediately turned solemn.
Mu Song's soft exclamation also resounded from the monastery.
In just the blink of an eye, Ning Fan had already taken nine steps. After the ninth step, it was as if all the might of the Buddha roar had been crushed under his feet.
As he stomped on the ground, it was as if he was stepping on the veins of heaven and earth. Immediately, circles of ripples of Dao laws spread out, forming tremors that shook the ancient pine on the island. With a cracking sound, an opening was torn open amidst the roars of countless Buddhas.
All of a sudden, heaven and earth fell into silence. Mu Song's Buddha roar disappeared like smoke!
Ning Fan had actually broken Daoist Mu Song's Buddha roar head-on with his current cultivation base!
"Impossible! According to the rumors in the outside world, the Rain Sovereign is just a newly advanced Immortal Venerable. How is it possible for him to withstand a roar from my master?! "
The ones who exclaimed were the disciples of Daoist Mu Song in the monastery. All of them were either dressed like monks or daoists.
Among these disciples, the lowest cultivation base was at the Early Thought Fragmentation Realm while the strongest ones were even Immortal Venerables of all ages!
Other than these monks and daoists, there was also an outsider. He was an elderly man in black robes. At this moment, his expression was gloomy.
"Rain Immortal Monarch … Ning Fan! What is he doing here?! Besides, how did he withstand Senior Mu Song's roar?! That strange footwork just now … Could it be the legendary Prestige Character Art of the Eastern Demon Ancestor?! "
