However, the Immortal Bone was the symbol of becoming an Immortal Heavenly Emperor, so many experts only cultivated the Immortal Bone. Those who could completely cultivate the Immortal Golden Body were extremely rare.
In the realm of the Immortal Heavenly Emperor, the more immortal parts he could cultivate, the stronger he would be, and the higher his future achievements would be.
This was also why Ding Ning guessed that the Watercloud Stone was the same as the Immortal Stone, formed after being contaminated with the aura of an Immortal expert's corpse.
However, this was only a guess. There was no evidence to prove it, and there were still some unexplainable parts. At least, he could not understand why this genuine Immortal rank finger bone did not pose any threat to him.
Gentle, yes, it was a gentle feeling. It was not as sharp as the half-step Immortal rank corpse, which would crack his body and collapse his sea of consciousness.
Was it because the real Immortal rank corpse had restrained its sharpness? Or was it because too much time had passed and the essence had been lost?
Ding Ning took a deep breath, and his eyes revealed a hint of passion. No matter what the reason was, he did not intend to let go of this finger bone, even if it was used as nourishment for the Dragon-taming Tree.
Collect!
Ding Ning originally thought it would be very troublesome, or even encounter some unpredictable danger, but it was surprisingly smooth. With just a thought, the finger bone entered the spiritual medicine ring without any obstruction.
This made him heave a long sigh of relief. He tried to use the finger bone as nourishment for the Dragon-taming Tree, but the spiritual medicine ring did not listen to him at all. It opened up a separate space to store the finger bone.
Since it did not work, Ding Ning did not force it. He looked at the place where the finger bone was, and thought that it would be great if this finger bone could continuously produce Watercloud Stone.
Greedily looking around again, and seeing that there was really nothing left to plunder, he turned around and left in satisfaction.
After meeting up with Ling Yun and the others, Ding Ning shook his head at Ye Yingying, who was full of expectation. Ye Yingying was a little disappointed, but she did not have any doubts. She still did not give up and wanted to try her luck with another ant tribe that was also expelled from the desert.
Ding Ning already planned to go to the forbidden area, so he did not want to waste time. He shook his head to show his refusal. Although Ye Yingying was disappointed, she did not dare to force him.
Along the way, everyone quickly returned to the place where the Wolf Riders were. Since they were out of the desert, the Wolf Riders no longer had the obligation to protect the Sacred Maiden Tribe. Moreover, they also needed to obtain a number to compete for a place in the first round of the competition.
Thus, the two sides parted ways. Although the Eighth Junior Sister and the Little Junior Sister didn't want to be separated from the Lang Kui brothers, they also knew that there was no reason to stay. After reluctantly bidding farewell to them, they turned back to look at each other as they walked.
"Okay, don't look at them anymore. They're all gone. If you really like them, I'll find a way to negotiate with the Sacred Maiden Tribe after we get out and ask them to be your wives."
Ding Ning looked at Lang Kui and Lang Kui, who were in a daze, and teased them.
Lang Kui and Lang Yu blushed, scratched the back of their heads in embarrassment, and smiled awkwardly. It seemed that they did not object to Ding Ning's arrangement.
Looking at Lang Rong, who was also looking at him eagerly, Ding Ning could not help but shake his head and smile bitterly. It was not that he favored one and discriminated against the other, but a woman like Ye Yingying was not a good match for Lang Rong.
If he did not guess wrong, Ye Yingying would never give up the ant serum so easily. It was very likely that she would take some of the Sacred Maiden Tribe to explore the ant nest secretly. It was a problem whether they could get out alive. If he made a promise to Lang Rong now, it would only harm him. Therefore, he could only turn a blind eye to Lang Rong's expectant eyes.
Lang Rong seemed to understand Ding Ning's meaning. His eyes became dim, and he drooped his head weakly. In fact, how could he not know what kind of person Ye Yingying was?
He knew what kind of person Ye Yingying was. It was just that things like feelings were so inexplicable that it wasn't up to him to decide.
"Hey! If possible, I will try my best to help you. "
Ding Ning looked at Lang Rong's pitiful look, and finally, his heart softened. He speechlessly patted Lang Rong's shoulder and comforted him.
"Thank you, Young Master!"
Lang Rong suddenly raised his head as if he had been injected with chicken blood. His face was full of surprise.
Although Ding Ning could not bear to hurt him, he still kindly reminded him, "That also depends on you. Whether you can make her fall in love with you or not. I can help you propose marriage to the Sacred Maiden Tribe, but if she does not like you, I can't force her against her will."
Lang Rong bit his lips, and his expression was uncertain. After a moment, he raised his head, cupped his fists, and pleaded, "Young Master, I want to beg you …"
"Go. If I don't let you go, I'm afraid that even if you don't say it, you will still be unwilling in your heart."
Although he was extremely unwilling, Ding Ning still decided to let Lang Rong protect Ye Yingying. Regardless of whether this relationship had any results, even if he was covered in cuts and bruises, it was Lang Rong's own choice.
Lang Rong turned over and dismounted from the wolf. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Ding Ning three times. He refused Ding Ning's good intentions of letting him lead a portion of the wolf cavalry, and left alone to chase after Ye Yingying.
"Young Master, can Lang Rong do it alone?"
Lang Yu said worriedly.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Although Ding Ning seemed to have done nothing, he had secretly let Fifth Jin follow Lang Rong. In the periphery of the desert, Fifth Jin was enough to do whatever he wanted. It was not a problem for him to protect Lang Rong.
"You guys stay here and rest. If I haven't returned by the end of the competition, let Angel keep you guys and teleport you out of here."
The official contestants all had a teleportation mark on them. When the competition was over, these people would be teleported out automatically. The wolf cavalry and the others didn't have a teleportation mark on them, so they definitely couldn't be teleported out. Ding Ning wanted to explore the restricted area, but he was unwilling to take Ling Yun and the others to take risks. Therefore, if he couldn't make it back in time, he could only let Angel bring them back with the Heart of the Ocean.
The wolf cavalry naturally obeyed Ding Ning's words. Although Angel, Ling Yun, and the others were worried, they knew that they would only be a burden to him if they followed him. Moreover, based on his temperament, once he decided on something, he would not easily change his mind. They could only repeatedly remind him to be careful.
Ding Ning naturally agreed. He stepped on the scarecrow and went to the center of the desert alone. Although Fifth Jin was sent to protect Lang Rong, he still had the queen ant to show him the way.
The scorching sun shone on the golden gravel, and the bright reflection was dazzling. Ding Ning took out a pair of sunglasses and put them on his face. He released his divine senses to guide the way and directed the scarecrow to bypass the densely packed territory of the ant community. Along the way, it could be said that it was daunting but not dangerous.
After running for nearly ten hours without stopping, the sun was already setting in the west when he entered the center of the desert, and the sky was getting darker.
"Queen ant, where is the restricted area?"
When he arrived at the center of the desert, Ding Ning found that the strength of the ant tribe was getting stronger and stronger. Some tribes even had several seven-bars, and there were even more five-bars and more five-bars. Therefore, he didn't dare to rush around recklessly. He was patient and carefully avoided the territory of the powerful ant tribe in advance. He communicated with the queen ant quietly.
"No one knows where the restricted area is. At that time, I could enter the restricted area by accident. I only remember that it was a grain of white sand."
The answer of the queen ant confused Ding Ning. A grain of white sand? What the heck was that?
After the queen ant's detailed explanation, Ding Ning knew that the reason she could enter the restricted area was because she saw a grain of white sand.
At that time, she thought it was an insect egg and wanted to take it back as food. Unexpectedly, as soon as she touched that grain of sand, her vision blurred, and she appeared in the restricted area.
Ding Ning became listless like a deflated balloon. If he was in a spacious area, he could use his divine senses to find that grain of white sand. But where was this place? It was a vast desert. Although it didn't have many other things, it had a lot of sand. To find a grain of white sand in the desert was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Ding Ning had thought that the restricted area had obvious signs and it would be easy to find it. That was why he had come here excitedly. Now, listening to the queen ant, he knew that he had thought too much. If the restricted area was so easy to find, the tribes in the center of the desert would have rushed in without caring about anything.
Although the queen ant still remembered the approximate location of that grain of sand, looking at the vast sea of sand, Ding Ning had no hope of finding the restricted area. After so many years, with the flow of the sea of sand, no one knew where that grain of sand had gone. Maybe it was buried in the depths of the sea of sand.
But since he had come here, he couldn't go back without doing anything. Even if he couldn't find the restricted area, it would be good to find a piece of water cloud stone. Maybe if he was lucky, he could really find that grain of white sand. With this idea, Ding Ning released his divine senses to search inch by inch in the sea of sand.
It had to be said that this was a very laborious and energy-consuming process. The sand layer in the center of the entire sea of sand was 40 to 50 meters thick. It took him two hours to go through the sand layer with a radius of 10 meters from top to bottom.
The sun set and the moon rose. The dim and quiet sea of sand was sprinkled with a layer of bright moonlight. Ding Ning frowned tightly and gave up the search helplessly.
Although the queen ant gave him the approximate area of entering the restricted area, this area had a radius of several miles. It would take him a few days to go through it from the ground to the bottom to find that grain of white sand.
If he had enough time, he had enough patience to search slowly, but this was the competition site. A little more than two days had passed in three days, and he would be transmitted out in less than one day. Unless there was a miracle, it was impossible to find the entrance to the restricted area in such a short time.
Although it was a pity, Ding Ning did not feel too regretful. This time, he had made a lot of money and should be satisfied. After all, it was impossible for him to get all the benefits.
Searching for the white sand inch by inch consumed a lot of energy. Even Ding Ning felt mentally and physically tired after searching with full concentration for two hours. He simply clasped his fingers behind his head, lay on the sand dune, and looked up at the starry sky. He watched the bright starlight twinkling in the sky, and occasionally, a meteor streaked across the sky. The entire vast starry sky seemed to be a static picture suddenly disturbed and became vivid, which made him lose his mind.
If one were to take a closer look, they would find that the stars were actually not absolutely still. Instead, they were constantly moving along a mysterious trajectory at a speed that was almost imperceptible to the naked eye, outlining a dynamic Heavenly Cycle Star Chart.
Ding Ning's body shook, and he felt that the 720 star acupoints in his body seemed to have formed a strange resonance with the stars in the starry sky. His whole body suddenly emitted hazy starlight, and from the star acupoints of his 169 star nuclei that had not been extinguished, beams of starlight shot up into the sky and instantly connected with the stars in the starry sky.
Endless star power flowed into Ding Ning's body along the 169 beams of starlight, making him feel as if he was immersed in a warm sea of stars. Every pore on his body was cheering and madly swallowing the endless majestic starlight, turning it into pure stardew and entering his body.
