"What kind of power is preventing me from opening my eyes …"
The sound of the chains clashing gradually disappeared. Ning Fan pondered for a moment.
The moment the sound of the chains clashing rang out, he felt a chill run down his spine. It was as if he was a lone boat in the middle of a vast ocean, surrounded by towering waves. If he wasn't careful, he would drown in the ocean.
There was a will within the chains, the will of the heavens. It was as if if he went against this will, his dao, his everything, would be erased by the will of the heavens!
It was the will of the heavens that rejected his Dao!
Adherence to the Dao!
The people of the Yin World couldn't open their eyes because they couldn't obtain the approval of the Heavens. The Heavens didn't allow the people of the Yin World to see the scenery of the Yang World. Only the lucky Yin World people who obtained the approval of the Heavens and had sufficient talent could open their eyes.
Initially, Ning Fan did not know about this, but now, he had a guess.
Could it be that the reason why he couldn't open his eyes wasn't because he didn't have enough aptitude, but because he cultivated Dao Persistence, which was not tolerated by the heavens and earth?
Du Zhen, Shedding Void, Thought Shattering … Each of the three realms of the True Immortal Realm required the cultivator to give up the obsession in his heart. Cultivators needed to abandon the mortal world in order to embark on the path of immortality. Buddhist cultivators should not have any obsessions in their hearts. If they did, they would enter a demonic barrier. Every single aspect of cultivation requires one to discard one's obsession. However, Ning Fan was unwilling to do so. Instead, he chose the Dao of Reluctance.
Heaven asked cultivators to let go of their obsessions. That was why there were no True Bridges on the True Illusion River that belonged to Dao Enforcers.
If the people of the Yin World were existences that were not recognized, then the people of the Yin World who cultivated the Dao were unprecedentedly not recognized. It was naturally extremely difficult for them to open their eyes!
"If that's the case, it's not surprising that I can't open my eyes … Is it because the heavens don't approve of it?"
From the looks of it, in order to open one's eyes, one must first obtain the recognition of the heavens as much as possible.
It was no wonder that Daoist Mu Song insisted on cultivating the ancient Buddha. The ancient Buddha was an existence recognized by the heavens. What he sought was most likely the approval of the heavens to reduce the difficulty of opening his eyes.
Ning Fan remained silent for a while. He possessed the cultivation base of four elements. Other than the Tribulation Sense Cultivation Base, the other three elements belonged to the power that Heaven and Earth did not recognize.
As for his Dao, it was an anomaly that was rejected by the world. If it were Mu Song, he would most likely give up his cultivation of the three elements of God, Yao, and Devil in order to obtain the approval of the Heavens. He would give up on the Dao and follow the will of the Heavens. In this way, the difficulty of opening his eyes would be reduced and he would be able to walk step by step from Yin to Yang …
However, Ning Fan was not Mu Song. He would not give up his Dao just to open his eyes.
"The heavens don't approve? What if I have to go against the will of the heavens and force my eyes open?"
Ning Fan turned his hand and took out Li San's left eye. Just like what he did before, he made the eye turn into a lotus flower and swallowed it.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths … eight breaths!
With the experience of swallowing the white lotus the first time, he only used eight breaths to absorb a trace of extreme Yang from the white lotus this time.
Before his eyes, the world seemed to have been washed, and then another scene appeared. This scene was what Li San saw when he opened his eyes, and it remained in his left eye until now!
In the image, it was a village with mountains on one side and a river on the other. The population of the village was not large, and beside a small river at the entrance of the village, there was a bald old man fishing by the river.
Beside him was a bamboo basket. There were already a few fishes caught in the bamboo basket. The old man looked at the river with eyes as deep as the starry sky.
"Today, people fish, but in the future, the heavens fish for me … This is karma!"
The old man suddenly let out a sigh.
When he let out this sigh, two more karma scenes appeared on his body at the same time, as if they were guiding two completely different paths.
"Today, people fish, but in the future, the heavens fish for me …" Ning Fan muttered to himself. This sentence fully explained the law of karma and samsara.
Speaking of which, the scene in Li San's left eye was a man who died of thirst in the desert. Before he died, he longed to be reincarnated as a fish in his next life.
The scene in Li San's left eye was the scene of the old man fishing … Come to think of it, the scenes that both of them saw seemed to be related to fish …
Karma … Could it be …
Ning Fan had a guess in his mind, but he was not completely sure.
Similar to the scene he saw when he took the lotus for the first time, the scene this time also only lasted for three breaths before disappearing.
When he finished watching the second scene, the mysterious dripping sound of water resounded again. Then, it was followed by the woman's call. Each call sounded as if it was right beside his ears. After that, it was the sound of the chains clashing against each other, trying to stop Ning Fan from opening his eyes.
He still could not open his eyes. However, this time, after the sound of the chains, Ning Fan actually heard some other sounds. It seemed to be the voices of two children conversing …
Obviously, it was not useless for him to keep consuming the carp's eye. There was still some use for it.
"This woman has a strong heart. Unfortunately, the Great Dao is merciless. I'm afraid that she will have to wait for nothing. We, the Dao Children of the Holy Sect, have been guarding this snow valley for countless years. However, we have never seen the souls of the dead of the snow valley of the mortal grade return to the True World. This woman has waited for forty-two cycles of samsara. Her physical body has turned into ashes and her spiritual sense has turned into green smoke. However, her infatuation is still there. I really don't know what kind of person could make her yearn for him so much … "This was the voice of one of the children.
"It's hard to wake the dead, let alone a dead person without any immortal foundation. This snow valley is a mortal grade. The owner of this coffin is naturally a mortal. It's very difficult to return to the True World. I heard from master that the living being sealed in this coffin is not a human but a butterfly from the Mortal World. This butterfly does not have any cultivation base. However, master said that this butterfly had committed a serious crime with its mortal body. It angered that existence in the Ancient Desolate Mountain and was killed by that existence with the Third Sun of the Desolate Sword. Tsk tsk tsk. A mere mortal butterfly actually attracted the attention of an Immortal Sovereign and was even killed by the Third Sun of the Desolate Sword. Do you believe this? Master also said that in the end, even that existence in the Purple Mountain Dou Hai took action and took back the body of this butterfly from the Third Sun of the Desolate Mountain Dou Hai. If it wasn't for that, this butterfly would probably not even have ashes left … "This was the voice of another child.
"Master is really old and muddle-headed. What right does a mortal butterfly have to be killed by a Fourth Step Immortal Sovereign? What right does it have to be saved by another Immortal Sovereign?! If it's the legendary Nine Butterflies of the Vast Expanse, it might still be possible. But it's just a mortal butterfly … Hehe … "
"Anyway, this is something that happened forty-two cycles ago. It's too long ago. Who knows if it's true or not? Moreover, since master said this, it's even more unbelievable. It's most likely false. Who doesn't know that our master is a cultivator of the Hong Jun Sacred Sect who loves to talk nonsense the most? If it wasn't because he loved to talk nonsense too much and offended the Hong Jun of this generation, he wouldn't have been punished to the Snow Valley to reflect on his mistakes … By following such a master, even we can't raise our heads in front of our senior and junior brothers. "
"That's right. I really regret having such a master. Just the day before yesterday, master still said, 'There is a type of living being in this world whose strength lies in its ordinariness and ordinariness. It's because ordinariness and ordinariness are the Yin side of immortals. If a mortal can possess extreme Yin, even though Yang cannot resist it, a mortal can kill an immortal! Yin or Yang, which one is superior to the other? '… Sigh. Master is already hopeless. A mortal can kill an immortal … * Cough * * Cough *. A mortal does not have any cultivation base. What right does he have to kill an immortal? In my opinion, master has read too many books in his life and he has damaged his brain … Master even said … "
That was the end of the voice. The two children seemed to be still talking about their master. However, Ning Fan could not hear the rest of their conversation.
Ning Fan sucked in a breath of cold air. The things he heard this time seemed to be … quite extraordinary!
Hong Jun Sacred Sect … Snow Valley … Women … Forty-two Reincarnations … Butterfly … Ancient Desolate Mountain … The Third Sun of the Desolate Sword … Purple Mountain Battle Ocean …
The conversation between the two children seemed to be related to extremely terrifying secrets! Even if Ning Fan could not understand the specific meaning of their conversation, he could guess that these words were not ordinary. It was definitely not something that the cultivators of the Illusory World could say.
Is this a conversation between the people of the Illusory World?!
Could it be that the butterfly was referring to me? Or perhaps it was referring to something else …
What kind of place is the Snow Valley? What does the Hong Jun Holy Sect refer to?
Why would he, Ning Fan, know about these secrets? Could it be that the conversation between the two children was part of the scene that he saw after he opened his eyes?
Karma. Karma … Could it be …
What Ning Fan was especially concerned about was the last sentence that the two children said.
'Master also said that there is a type of living being in this world whose strength lies in its ordinariness and ordinariness. Because ordinariness and ordinariness are the Yin side of immortals. If a mortal can possess extreme Yin, even though Yang cannot resist it, a mortal can kill an immortal!'
Mortals were Yin while immortals were Yang. This was also the correspondence between Yin and Yang.
All Yin and Yang things in the world could go against each other. This was the conclusion that Ning Fan had obtained after cultivating the Great Dao of Yin and Yang for many years. Fire could boil water dry while water could also extinguish fire. The Yin side and the Yang side might not necessarily be superior to each other. What the master of the two children said made a lot of sense. If a mortal resides in Yin while an immortal resides in Yang, a mortal with extreme Yin can also kill Yang. Theoretically, it was true. However, when people first heard it, they would feel that it was ridiculous.
A mortal can kill an immortal … Can a mortal really kill an immortal?
Somehow, when he thought of this question, Ning Fan recalled the scene in the Ancient Heavenly Court where the butterfly's wings destroyed the eye of the palm of love in his previous life.
If a mortal can possess extreme Yin, even though Yang cannot resist it, a mortal can kill an immortal …
If a mortal can possess extreme Yin …
This sentence kept resounding in Ning Fan's mind. It completely swept away the slight waver in his Dao Heart after he met Mu Song.
When he saw that Mu Song and Sen Luo could open their eyes but he could not, it was not that he did not doubt his own aptitude.
When he saw that Mu Song could open his eyes and see the scenery of the Yang World but he could not, he did feel regretful.
When he saw that the Heaven's Will prevented him from opening his eyes, he did feel resentful and wanted to fight against the Heaven.
However, this resentment was extinguished when he heard this sentence.
If a mortal can possess extreme Yin …
Ning Fan seemed to have seen a brand new path of cultivation. A path that was different from all the cultivators in the Illusory World.
The Illusory World was the Yin side of the three great True Worlds. The cultivators in the Illusory World were the citizens of the Yin World. The only way out was to follow the will of the Heaven and cultivate step by step from Yin to Yang. Step by step, they would become a citizen of the True World. In order to attain the Third Step, this was certainly the path that the citizens of the Yin World must take.
However, what if Ning Fan did not take this path?
If he insisted on walking in the Yin World and living in the Yin World, what would happen if he walked all the way to the Extreme Yin World?
What if he insisted on not opening his eyes and continued walking on this path with his eyes closed?
If he opened his eyes, it would be a path.
If he closed his eyes, it would also be a path.
"I really want to know what kind of expert the master that the two children mentioned is. Just a few words from him could make me feel enlightened all of a sudden. He certainly isn't an ordinary person. "Ning Fan thought to himself.
"The sound of dripping water, the woman's call and the conversation between the two children are highly likely to be part of the scene after I open my eyes. Even though I haven't opened my eyes yet, I can hear more and more voices. Does this mean that the more carp eyes I devour, the closer I will be to opening my eyes? Mm. Let's see what kind of effect there will be after I consume the third carp eye. "
Ning Fan did what he did before and consumed the third carp eye. It was Li San's right eye.
This time, what appeared in front of him was still the scene of the old man fishing. It turned out that the scenes contained in Li San's left and right eyes were the same. However, the perspective was different!
The perspective of Li San's left eye was the old man fishing while the perspective of his right eye was the fish in the river.
When Ning Fan saw the old man fishing again and heard the old man saying 'If I fish today, the heavens will fish me in the future' again, Ning Fan's feeling was different from before.
Ning Fan's eyes became blank for a moment. For a moment, he actually felt that he had merged into the scene and became the old man fishing, looking at the fish in the river with a complicated expression. At the same time, he also felt like he had become the fish that the old man had caught and was struggling desperately on the hook …
In just three breaths of time, he seemed to have experienced the life of the old man fishing and also the life of the fish in an instant.
After three breaths of time, the scene disappeared. Ning Fan was still sitting there blankly. His eyes … were flashing with green light!
He seemed to have been possessed by a devil. It was as if he could not distinguish whether he was the old man fishing or the fish or … both of them at the same time!
The feeling of enlightenment became stronger and stronger. At a certain moment, Ning Fan suddenly woke up from the devil's trance and came to a realization. His entire body was drenched in sweat and his heart was still pounding!
What … happened to him just now? Wait. Why are there … Carp scales on the back of my hand?!
Ning Fan sucked in a breath of cold air. Only now did he realize that in just a few breaths of time, a trace of power of the Dao Carp Lineage had appeared in his body!
With just a thought, fish scales appeared on his body. With another thought, all the fish scales returned to his body.
"Why is there an additional power of the Dao Carp Lineage in my body?!"
Ning Fan's expression became extremely solemn. He realized that the additional power of the Dao Carp Lineage was fusing with the demon blood in his body, causing a new type of demon carp blood to gradually appear in his demon blood. The blood of the demon carp was very thin but it really existed!
The Dao Hun Clan and the demon race had a corresponding relationship of Yin and Yang. Their powers could devour and fuse with each other under certain conditions. As the additional Dao Carp Lineage was too weak, it was assimilated by Ning Fan's demon blood and turned into his demon blood.
"This demon blood of the Carp Lineage is very thin but it actually contains a trace of the power of the Palm Realm!"
Ning Fan carefully sensed the additional bloodline of the Carp Lineage in his body. There's no mistake. This trace of bloodline does indeed contain the power of the Palm Realm.
After consuming the carp eye and seeing the scene after opening its eyes, Ning Fan could actually cultivate a trace of the power of the Palm Realm. This was really unbelievable!
It seems like the method of opening the eyes that Daoist Mu Song mentioned is true. This method can really help cultivators cultivate the Void Realm of the Palm Realm …
However, there was one thing that Ning Fan could not understand.
He did not gain any benefits from consuming Li Si's single eyeball.
When he consumed Li San's left eye, he also did not gain any benefits. However, after consuming his right eye, he gained some benefits. Why was that?
Could it be that I have to consume both eyeballs at the same time in order to gain any benefits? No. That's definitely not the case. Didn't you see how happy Mu Song was when he obtained a single carp eye? From this, I can tell that even if I only have a single carp eye, I can still gain some benefits.
"After consuming Li San's left eye, the scene I see is the old fisherman's point of view while the scene in my right eye is the fish's point of view … The old fisherman and the fish … Two karmic ties …"
Ning Fan gently closed his eyes and recalled the scene in Li San's eye. It was as if he had once again become the old fisherman and the fish …
Today, people fish, but tomorrow, the heavens fish me … These words kept echoing in Ning Fan's ears. Suddenly, Ning Fan opened his eyes as if he had understood something.
That old man was not fishing for a fish!
He was fishing for himself!
This strange thought suddenly appeared in Ning Fan's mind and he could not get rid of it anymore.
This old man was fishing for himself. He was fishing for him to become a fish in his next life and meet with him in his next life …
This scene seemed to contain a profound understanding of the Great Dao. Unfortunately, Ning Fan could not figure it out no matter how hard he tried. Thus, he could only give up on it.
However, there was one thing that Ning Fan was sure of. The benefit he obtained from the carp's blood was definitely related to the feeling of being a fisherman and sometimes being a fish.
"Swallowing the carp eye is to see the scene of others. If I can comprehend it, I will be able to gain some benefits from it. However, this kind of benefit is still incomparable to the benefit I get from opening my eyes and looking at my own scenery. It's as difficult as ascending to the heavens to cultivate my own Void Mastery Realm based on the scenery of others. "
"I'm a Persistent Cultivator. It's harder for me to open my eyes compared to others. Fortunately, I have swallowed the extreme Yang in three carp eyes. I'm already much closer to truly opening my eyes. If there's enough extreme Yang, I have the confidence to forcefully open my eyes even if the sound of the chains stops me … I just don't know how much extreme Yang I need to truly open my eyes."
Ning Fan turned his hand and took out the fourth eyeball. He swallowed it according to the method he used before. It was Li Er's left eye. After that, he swallowed Li Er's right eye.
The scene in Li Er's left eye was a temple. There was a water vat in the temple and a monk was feeding the carp in the water vat.
The scene in Li Er's right eye was the same as his left eye. However, the perspective was different. One was the monk's perspective while the other was the carp's perspective in the water vat.
At a certain moment, the monk even exchanged glances with the carp in the water vat. At that moment, Ning Fan had an extremely strong feeling.
The monk wasn't looking at the carp but himself!
As expected, after experiencing the monk's perspective and the carp's perspective respectively, Ning Fan once again cultivated a trace of the Carp Clan's demon blood in his body. Even though the bloodline was thin, it still contained a trace of Palm Realm power. No one should underestimate this trace of bloodline.
After all, Ning Fan could cultivate nine types of Demon Yin Yang Qi. When the conditions are right in the future, he could just cultivate one Carp Yin Yang Qi. For now, he didn't need to care about the Carp Clan's demon blood.
There was only one thing that mattered the most to him right now – to open his eyes!
After absorbing the extreme Yang in the fourth carp eye, Ning Fan did not hear any more sounds. However, he saw the existence of the chains for the first time!
Everything around him seemed to have turned into nothingness and no longer existed. Ning Fan was clearly still in the Profound Yin World but it was as if he was standing in a barren void. Above the void, there were twelve illusory stone bridges standing in front of him.
When he absorbed the extreme Yang in the fifth carp eye, those illusory stone bridges … became solid in front of him!
Each of the twelve stone bridges emitted a different divine light, giving people a vast and untouchable feeling of holiness.
"Can you see these stone bridges?"
Ning Fan asked the void next to him.
In fact, it was not the void but the place where the black cat was lying. It was the Profound Yin World.
"Black Devil doesn't understand. What stone bridges are there?" The black cat yawned lazily. She did not see any stone bridges in this place.
It was the scenery of another dimension. She could not see it but Ning Fan could.
"Is this a scenery that only I can see …?" Ning Fan thought to himself.
* Clang * * Clang *
The twelve stone bridges were connected from end to end. Ning Fan tried to fly towards the first stone bridge. As soon as he moved, he heard the sound of chains clashing. Gradually, dark red chains appeared on his body and bound him.
The closer he got to the stone bridge, the tighter the chains bound him. They almost sank into his flesh.
One hundred zhang *, ninety zhang *, eighty zhang * …
Even with Ning Fan's cultivation base that was comparable to an ancient Immortal Venerate, he could only fly to seventy zhang * away from the stone bridge. If he gets any closer, his flesh would be crushed by the chains and he would be severely injured. The chains were not real. They were the images of the will of Heaven which prevented Ning Fan from approaching the stone bridge.
"Back off!"
"Back off!!"
"Back off!!!"
"Residents of the Yin World, you have no right to ascend the Origin Bridge with your body to atone for your sins!"
On the body of the first stone bridge, a stone eye suddenly opened and stared at Ning Fan with indifference and mercilessness. It was the guardian of the Origin Bridge. Its true form existed in the three great true worlds. What appeared in front of Ning Fan was just a projection.
If a cultivator opened his eyes and summoned this bridge, it would appear in the form of a projection. Ascending the Origin Bridge was a special benefit for the residents of the Yang World. They could obtain the blessing of Heaven by ascending the bridge. The cultivators who opened their eyes for the first time could also see the projection of the Origin Bridge.
Bridge God Gu Jiang felt very depressed. Which Illusory World is this? I have no idea. There are hundreds of billions of Illusory Worlds. Who can remember where this place is?
Who is this cultivator from the Yin World? I have no idea. I am the Bridge God Gu Jiang. There is no way I would know a Yin cultivator from the Illusory World.
This young man seems to have never opened his eyes before. Why is there so much extreme Yang in his body? The Upper World actually sensed it and made me mistakenly think that someone in this world has opened his eyes again. That was why I eagerly sent my projection here.
This young man has never truly opened his eyes. There is no doubt about it. If he opens his eyes, the extreme Yang in his body will gradually transform into the [Breath of the True World] which is unique to the cultivators of the True World. Even if it is the first time he opens his eyes, a small amount of extreme Yang will complete the transformation. However, this young man does not have the Breath of the True World in his body at all! Humph! This time, I really made a huge mistake!
A cultivator who has never opened his eyes actually deceived me into sending my projection here! Bridge God Gu Jiang felt that his intelligence had been greatly insulted.
Besides, this young man has the Dao Soul Blood Shackles on him. There is no doubt about it. Only cultivators who have committed the ten great sins would be bound by these Dao Soul Blood Shackles. It is the rejection of Heaven. Judging from the number of these shackles, this young man has committed at least the fourth, fifth and sixth of the ten great sins. The Dao Hun Clan has set up a heavenly rule. Cultivating stubbornness is the fourth sin, consorting with demons is the fifth sin and refusing to accept the Heavenly Mandate is the sixth sin. I wonder which sin this young man has committed. No matter what, he is undoubtedly a sinner …
Humph! A sinner cannot be placed on the Origin Bridge!
Bridge God Gu Jiang stared at Ning Fan coldly as if he was giving him a warning. He had already made a huge mistake by mistakenly sending down the projection of the Origin Bridge. If he lets another sinner on the bridge and this matter spreads out, he would be punished by the three upper sects and the Dao Hun Clan.
"What is the Origin Bridge? What does it mean to be a sinner? "
Ning Fan was not angered by Bridge God Gu Jiang's warning. Instead, he asked in a very calm manner.
"Humph! I am the Bridge God of the Origin Bridge. Who do you think you are? Do you think you have the right to ask me questions?!" Gu Jiang said angrily.
Ning Fan's eyes turned slightly cold. This Bridge God seems to be a little too arrogant.
The Origin Bridge and the Bridge God in front of him were just projections. They were the product of the condensation of the Dao Origin Power. They were not real entities. They were somewhat similar to the Yin Phoenix in the Yin Yang Square Seal.
Ordinary cultivators would not be able to hurt this Origin Bridge or the projection of Bridge God Gu Jiang. It was only because Gu Jiang saw that Ning Fan's cultivation base was not high that he dared to be arrogant.
After making such a huge mistake, Gu Jiang was already in a bad mood. He wished that he could immediately return to the True World. However, every time he sent a projection, he would need to wait for one hour before he could retract it. If a cultivator who had opened his eyes stepped onto the bridge within this one hour, he would have completed his task and he would be able to get some merit points when he returns. However, the person who summoned the projection of the Origin Bridge was a sinner who had not opened his eyes …
He was a sinner who had not opened his eyes …
Sending a projection to a cultivator who had not opened his eyes was considered a mistake. When he returns, he would have to deduct at least five hundred merit points. That was five hundred merit points! Gu Jiang's heart was bleeding.
If he lets another sinner step onto the bridge, it would not be as simple as deducting five hundred merit points. He would have to deduct at least two thousand merit points! Humph! I must not let this sinner step onto the bridge!
Gu Jiang did not have a good impression of Ning Fan at all. Thus, his tone was naturally as bad as possible. Since he knew that Ning Fan would not be able to hurt him, he naturally did not put him in his eyes.
Just as he was about to withdraw his projection after one hour, he suddenly felt an extreme sense of danger, causing his stone eyes to be filled with terror.
At this moment, Ning Fan took out the Memory Severing Dao Sword and slightly raised the tip of the sword at the direction of the stone bridge.
Logically speaking, that Dao Sword was not a high-grade sword technique. However, Gu Jiang felt a sense of danger from it.
There's no mistaking it. This sinner is using some kind of extremely terrifying sword technique. He can actually threaten the projection of my Dao Origin with his Immortal Venerate cultivation base!
"Are you sure that I don't have the right to ask you questions?"
Ning Fan did not want to waste his breath on the Bridge God anymore. If the Bridge God still spoke arrogantly, he might as well kill him with a single slash.
Gu Jiang was stunned by Ning Fan's straightforward and decisive style! It was his first time seeing such a rude and unreasonable cultivator of the Yin World who actually swung his sword at the Bridge God of the True World in such a matter-of-fact manner!
Speaking of which, what Gu Jiang sent down was just a projection. If the projection is destroyed, his true body would at most suffer some injuries. It would not be life-threatening.
However, there was a rule from the higher-ups. As the lofty Bridge God, if he is injured by a cultivator of the Yin World, it would be regarded as a disgrace to the Dao Hun Clan and he would have to deduct at least five thousand merit points!
No way! How can I do this?! Merit points are my lifeblood. How can I deduct it?!
Thus, the Bridge God Gu Jiang changed his attitude from arrogance to humility. His tone instantly became amiable, as if he had just met his own father.
"Little sinner, ah no. My little friend from the Yin World, let's talk this out. Hehe. Don't use your weapons. It will hurt our friendship. Isn't it just a few questions? Alright, alright. I'll answer them. I'll answer them. "
Thus, the Bridge God Gu Jiang rambled on and on, telling Ning Fan all the information about the Origin Bridge. Of course, he did not mention a single thing that was related to the secrets of the True World. He had always been abiding by the rules set by the higher-ups.
Seeing that Gu Jiang was tactful, Ning Fan kept his Dao Sword and listened carefully. It was his first time hearing about the existence of the Origin Bridge in this world.
Opening one's eyes was a path that must be taken in order to become a True Saint. All cultivators who open their eyes are qualified to summon the projection of the Origin Bridge. However, even a True Saint might not be able to walk through all twelve Origin Bridges!
In fact, opening one's eyes was also divided into twelve levels. For example, Daoist Mu Song had already ascended the first Origin Bridge. The reason why he desired the Eye of the Yang World so much was because he wanted to absorb the extreme Yang and ascend the second Origin Bridge as soon as possible.
It was because only by ascending the first Origin Bridge could one break through to the Second Level Quasi-Saint Realm. Only by ascending the second Origin Bridge could one break through to the Third Level Quasi-Saint Realm!
Even for cultivators who were not at the Quasi-Saint Realm, ascending the Origin Bridge would also bring great benefits. For example, the benefit of ascending the first Origin Bridge was that it could help cultivators cultivate their own Palm Void Realm bit by bit! If a cultivator can reach the end of the first Origin Bridge and take the seventy-seventh step, he could even break through the bottleneck of the Second Level Quasi-Saint Realm …
"I didn't expect that I would actually summon the projection of the Origin Bridge without opening my eyes … What kind of heaven-defying luck is this …"
Ning Fan was slightly speechless. He had a feeling that his luck had improved by more than just a little after subduing Old Wu.
Old Wu was a star of calamity that would last for ten thousand years. If others get close to him, they would definitely be tainted with bad luck. Could it be that Ning Fan's luck would increase instead of decreasing when he gets close to him? Was it because he was a Fu Li Cultivator?
"Each Origin Bridge is seventy-seven steps long," Yang Qi said. Every step I take will bring me great benefits. Others have to open their eyes to see the Origin Bridge. I, on the other hand, have the chance to ascend the bridge without opening my eyes … "
The only troublesome thing was that Ning Fan's body was bound by chains. It seemed like he was still a sinner who was not allowed to get close to the Origin Bridge by the Great Dao.
Currently, seventy zhang * (3.33m per zhang) away from the First Origin Bridge was already Ning Fan's limit. If it was Mu Song, he might not be able to get any closer to the First Origin Bridge with his Second Level Quasi-Saint Realm cultivation base and the chains on him. If he goes all out, he should be able to move a few steps on the First Origin Bridge while wearing the chains …
"The projection of the Origin Bridge won't be wrong every time. I wonder if I will have such a chance the next time. Without these chains, with my current cultivation base, I would be able to walk the last seventy zhang * (3.33m per zhang) and ascend the First Origin Bridge. As for how far I can walk on the bridge, I have no idea … "
It would be great if I don't have these chains.
However, without these chains, Ning Fan would have probably opened his eyes the moment he entered the Painting World with his innate potential. After opening his eyes, he could summon the projection of the Origin Bridge at any time. Then, ascending the bridge would not be considered as a rare opportunity.
Forget it. I'll just carry the chains with me. With the God Exterminating Shield, I should be able to offset some of the damage from the chains …
Seeing Ning Fan mumbling to himself, the Bridge God Gu Jiang muttered to himself.
"Eh, this brat is behaving strangely. Don't tell me he wants to climb the bridge? No, that's impossible. He has a lot of Dao Soul Blood Chains on him. This number is enough to stop weaker second rank Quasi-Sages from ascending the Origin Bridge. This brat must have … "
Before he could finish, something happened that made his jaw drop.
The surface of Ning Fan's body suddenly shone with rays of golden light. He forcefully entered within sixty zhang * (3.33m per zhang) of the Origin Bridge while enduring the damage inflicted by the Dao Soul Blood Shackles.
"What a powerful protective magic treasure! It was at least a middle-grade connate Dharmic treasure! Otherwise, with this kid's cultivation, he definitely wouldn't be able to advance six hundred feet! "
Middle grade Innate Enchanted Treasures were rare even in the three Great True Worlds.
Gu Jiang was greatly surprised. With Ning Fan's cultivation base, it was really rare for him to possess a Mid-Grade Innate Magic Treasure.
However, 600 feet should be this child's limit, right? Just as Gujiang was thinking about that, he realized that Ning Fan had walked forward to 500 zhang *, 400 zhang *, 300 zhang * …
"Three hundred feet! Could it be that this kid is using a high-grade Connate Dharma treasure?! "
Gujiang's expression changed.
Even he did not have a high-grade Connate Dharma treasure. Now, he was a little envious of Ning Fan's wealth.
However, even if he has a high-grade Connate Dharma treasure, he would definitely stop at 300 zhang * (3.33m per zhang) …
Ning Fan continuously shortened the distance between him and the Origin Bridge. 200 zhang * (3.33m per zhang), 150 zhang * (3.33m per zhang) …
Even though the God Exterminating Shield was a heaven opening treasure, it was not a complete one after all. When it was 100 zhang * (3.33m per zhang) away from the Origin Bridge, it could no longer completely negate the damage inflicted by the Dao Soul Blood Shackles.
If he continues to advance, he would certainly suffer severe injuries …
"100 zhang * (3.33m per zhang)! The weapon this kid is using must be a supreme-grade Connate Dharma treasure! "
Gujiang's eyes burned with passion.
A supreme-grade Connate Dharma treasure was something that even Saints desired. He did not expect that a mere Venerated Immortal of the Illusory Dream World would actually possess such a supreme treasure. It really made him jealous.
Unfortunately, he was just a projection. He could not kill others and seize their treasures. Otherwise, he could … Sigh! What a pity!
Forget it. Even if this kid has a supreme-grade Connate Dharma treasure, so what? His cultivation base is not high after all. If he wants to ascend the first bridge, he will definitely suffer severe injuries.
He is a sinner after all. He mustn't ascend the bridge. Otherwise, two thousand merit points will be deducted!
"Little friend, please wait! If you go any further, you will be heavily injured. The Dao-soul Blood Shackles were tools of torture formed from the will of the heavens and earth. Normally, they wouldn't cause any harm, but they wouldn't allow sinful cultivators to open their eyes and approach the Origin Bridge. So you can't … "
Gu Jiang was still trying his best to persuade Ning Fan but Ning Fan completely ignored his advice. With a leap, he had already crossed the last one hundred zhang * (3.33m per zhang) and stepped onto the first bridge of the origin, standing on the first step!
Bang!
It was the sound of blood mist bursting out from Ning Fan's body. As expected, he was severely injured!
Wu!
The sound of a horn suddenly rang out around the Origin Bridge!
Ah!
It was Gujiang's cry of grief. The sinner ascended the bridge. Ahhh! Two thousand merit points flew away!
Don't walk on the bridge, don't do that!
'Sir, you're a sinner. If you cross the bridge, I'll deduct 2,000 yuan. For every step you take, I'll deduct 500 yuan!'
Gujiang felt a little regretful, vaguely feeling that something was wrong.
This sinner kid shouldn't have the ability to take a second step on the bridge. I don't think so.
…
* Wu *
In the sky above the wooden island, the sound of a horn suddenly resounded. It was ancient and sorrowful. It reverberated between heaven and earth as if it was everywhere. No one could detect where the sound came from.
As soon as the sound of the horn was heard, the entire wooden island began to snow. The temperature plummeted as if it had fallen into the middle of winter.
"Hmm? Where did the sound of the horn come from? "Old Wu and the other weaker experts could not understand why it was snowing all of a sudden.
The weather recently was really strange. It rained one moment and then it snowed the next …
Xiang Bozi was slightly shocked. The snowflakes that filled the sky were really shocking. Vaguely, there was a force that was enough to freeze the Dao Origin Power in his body.
Fortunately, the sound of the horn did not have any evil intentions. Otherwise, even if he was a First Level Quasi-Sage, he would also be frozen into an ice sculpture by the sound of the horn!
"What kind of horn is this? What terrifying power! Could it be that some old monster of the Eastern Sky has obtained a new magic treasure and is testing its power?! "Xiang Bozi said in shock.
"No. This sound of the horn is not made by others. It's the sound of heaven!" Mu Song said excitedly.
"The sound of heaven? What does it mean?" Xiang Bozi was puzzled.
"It's literally what it means." Mu Song did not intend to explain further. His heart was filled with raging waves.
It's actually the sound of the Frozen Horn! Who was the one who opened his eyes and caused the strange phenomenon of the Origin Bridge to ascend the First Bridge of the Origin?!
The sound of heaven is within the range of the wooden island. The person who caused the phenomenon must be nearby. Could it be …?
No. It's impossible! This young man clearly did not open his eyes. There is no trace of the qi of the True World in his body. However, who else could it be other than him …?
"I've misjudged him! Even though Sen Luo opened his eyes in the past, he did not have the ability to ascend the First Bridge of the Origin. I also went through a lot of difficulties before I managed to ascend the First Bridge of the Origin. After that, after countless years, I only managed to take 14 steps on the first bridge. "
Out of the 77 steps on the first bridge, he only managed to take 14 steps. This was the gap between Mu Song and the Third Level Quasi-Sage Realm.
If the person who ascended the bridge is really Ning Fan, then this young man's potential is unimaginable!
* Wu *
The sorrowful sound of the horn suddenly blew across the starry sea around the wooden island like the cold wind in midwinter. In an instant, it froze the entire starry sea into ice.
At this moment, two cultivators, one old and one young, were approaching the wooden island. As soon as they saw the aura of the cold wind, their expressions changed slightly.
The old one was the Plague King, Lv Wen. His cultivation base was not as profound as Mu Song and Xiang Bozi. Thus, he could not feel the terror of the cold wind which was enough to freeze the Dao Origin Power.
The young man was dressed in red robes. He had cold brows and eagle-like eyes. His thin lips which seemed a little harsh were now wide open. It seemed that he was too shocked to say anything for a moment.
"Why is there the sound of the Frozen Horn on the wooden island?! Old Ancestor once said that only cultivators who have opened their eyes can cause the sound of heaven. Could it be … that it was caused by Daoist Mu Song?! "
This young man in red robes was the second young emperor of the Barbarian Tribe, one of the four tribes of the Southern Clan. With his identity in the Southern Clan, he had also heard of such secrets.
"Sure enough, this Mu Song has hidden his strength well. He cannot be underestimated. Since he can ascend the Origin Bridge, he is most likely a Second Level Quasi-Sage. We must not offend this person during this trip. As for that Ning Fan … Humph! If he is really a great cultivator from the ancient times, I will naturally invite him to the Southern Clan politely. However, if he isn't … "The young man in red robes smiled coldly. If Ning Fan is not a great cultivator from the ancient times, he would not be polite anymore. Impersonating a cultivator of the Southern Clan was a great crime. He would certainly not let him off lightly!
When Lv Wen saw the cold expression on the young man's face, he could not help but break out in cold sweat for Ning Fan.
Inwardly, he prayed. "Oh, my sworn brother. I have asked you about it. You said that you have a way to deal with the people from the Southern Clan. Could it be that you are really a great cultivator from the ancient times? If you aren't … Sigh. This is really troublesome. It's really troublesome …"
