Chapter 77: 72. Pursuing the Remnant Enemy (1)
Translator: 549690339
Yan Ling had stayed in the Imperial Capital for a full seven years. She had been raised as a little demoness. To the Demonic Sect, demonesses were not called demonesses, but saintesses. These saintesses had to have special physiques and beautiful looks, and they could cultivate the special techniques of the Demonic Sect.
Seven years ago, she was only 11 or 12 years old. She appeared in the Imperial City’s Willow Lane with fireworks and was full of strangeness and curiosity. The past was so oppressive that she could not breathe. It was so oppressive that she felt as if she was about to become a demon. She wanted to escape, so she became a spy to the Demon Cult. Then, she came to the prosperous city of Wind and Smoke, learned the four arts, and secretly learned the foundation of the Demon Dao cultivation method.
However, she was not the best Saintess, nor was she the worst. She was neither high nor low, never in the limelight, nor would she be entrusted with important tasks. She was just an ordinary little demon girl of the Demon Sect.
The story after that was very cliché.
A righteous young girl who was undercover in the Demon Cult had encountered a prince who was hiding his identity on the streets of the Imperial City.
She had already forgotten how they met.
Perhaps it was a heavy rain in midsummer, and the two of them went to hide from the rain.
Perhaps they saw a stick of candied haws on the street and reached out to take it.
Perhaps she was injured while carrying out a demonic mission and was being hunted down, and he happened to hide her.
In short, they knew each other.
The demoness and the prince were both young and weak. They both lived in depression and didn’t have many friends. After a while, they became familiar with each other. This friendship lasted for three years. Three years later, the two of them rolled on the bed and were framed. This was the end of the story.
Yan Ling’s thoughts returned.
She thought of that old friend of hers. The royal family was indeed full of dragons and phoenixes. Three years had passed since they last met, and in three years, he had gone from an ordinary handsome youth to a legend whose name shook the Imperial Capital and even the Northern Lands-Prince Shenwu.
How could life be like the first time they met? After three years of not seeing each other, you were no longer you. Three years ago, she could still pretend to be a sister and give a few pointers and care. Three years later, things had changed. It was as cold as this deep winter, as the world changed. Was it because my heart changed easily, or did we never have any interactions? Everything was just a dream, like dew and lightning?
He is Prince Shenwu. ‘
A disciple recalled and said in a very certain tone.
” Are you spouting nonsense because you think I’m easy to bully? ” Yan Ling said coldly.
As she spoke, a cold aura emanated from her body.
She Imew that the more she argued, the darker it would be, so she did not explain.
The disciples fell silent.
However, a female disciple suddenly said, ‘”‘ Yan Ling, you’re indeed a demoness who has been in the Demonic Sect. You can lie without thinking. When he fought General Nangong, Hero Zhao and I saw him from afar. At first, we couldn’t remember, but now it’s getting clearer. He’s Prince Shenwu. ‘ Yan Ling snorted coldly but did not answer.
The female disciple mocked, ” Prince Shenwu has inherited the legacy of Thunderclap Temple, but he’s cruel and heartless. Everyone in the north knows about his heresy. What does he want to do by appearing here? ” Senior Sister
Yan, shouldn’t there be a limit to how much you can protect your lover?”
Yan Ling sighed softly. ” If he is really Prince Shenwu, he can crush us like ants. How can I protect him? ‘
When she said this, another disciple was unwilling. ” Senior Sister Yan, I heard that Prince Shenwu had only just obtained the ancient inheritance of Thunder Sound Temple. He was able to deal with General Nangong’s 30,000-strong army mostly because of his celestial device. If he used up his celestial device, his trump card would be gone, and his strength would be much weaker. How amazing was a person like him who relied completely on inheritance? How can you say that we are ants to him?”
” That’s right. Our Green Cliff Manor’s Sword Prince is the true Heaven’s Favorite. In my heart, Sword Prince is much stronger than this prince who relied on enlightenment. ‘
The disciples started arguing.
Lu Feng, the leader of the Green Cliff Manor, listened quietly and thought about the cause and effect. He thought about some details. After all, he was an experienced person. His expression changed a few times and he suddenly said, “Take off your outer clothes and change into new clothes. Immediately return to the entrance of Mount Meru. This opportunity…l can’t get it!”
Da da da da…
Light footsteps sounded in the forest.
Two figures, one in front and one behind, were moving extremely quickly on the winding mountain path paved by the morning light.
Xia Ji was in the front, and a beautiful nun was slightly behind him. She was dressed in a white monk robe, and her long hair was wrapped in a hood. Her two white fox tails were straightened in the wind.
Even though they were moving at high speed, the man and fox could still talk calmly without boiling blood. In terms of strength, Huixin had already reached the Transcendence Realm. Moreover, he was a two-tailed Transcendence Realm fox demon, so he was not weak.
“Although Mount Meru has many exits, there are only two exits nearby unless you take a detour,” Huixin said.
The first one in the north had already been sealed by the tiger clan.
The second one was at the foot of the mountain of Thunderclap Temple, where many martial artists were confronting the monks in the temple.
Once those people find out that Your Highness is in an alliance with us, they will definitely speak nonsense and distort the truth. It will be very disadvantageous to Your Highness.
“Therefore, we have to rush to the mountain pass in advance to chase those people away and seal the entrance to prevent the martial artists in this mountain from escaping.
“It will take five days to get to the entrance from here. Your Highness and I will hurry over. Although it will be fast, we can’t guarantee that we will be safe.”
However, there is still the reclusive Northern Eagle Tribe to the east of this place. With Your Highness and my speed, we only need half a day’s journey to reach it.
If we ride on the eagle demon and head west from the sky path, we can cross these towering mountains and reach the entrance of Mount Meru in less than a day. This is the safest way.”
There was still some time before they reached the Eagle Clan, so Xia Ji waved behind him.
Huixin flashed a few times and appeared beside Xia Ji, walking alongside him.
“Huixin, I want to ask you something,” Xia Ji asked.
The beautiful nun hurriedly said, ” Your Highness, there’s no need to be so polite. Although I address you as Your Highness, I actually consider myself a disciple. Please speak frankly. ‘
“In this world, strength and power, who is stronger and who is weaker?”
Huixin pondered for a moment and immediately understood what this person was asking.
He was asking about the power system of this world.
He was asking about the power structure of this world.
No matter how intelligent His Highness was, he had never lived for more than five hundred years like him.
The beautiful nun sorted out her thoughts and said.
“It is said that in the Middle Ages a thousand years ago, the division of power was very simple.
The first to the fourth realm were the fourth level of Houtian body tempering.
It was not difficult to break bones, muscles, skin, warm acupoints, and meridians, break stones, and pull strong bows.
However, these four realms were mainly to prepare for the Connate Realm. Then, from the fifth stage to the eighth stage, it was the fourth level of the Xiantian Qi Refinement realm.
At this moment, his orifices were producing true qi, flowing through his meridians and connecting them one by one.
Flying flowers and picking leaves can also hurt people, and every blade of grass and tree can be used as a weapon.
Supreme Soul Reversion is the ninth realm and also the highest realm. At this moment, your True Qi is already magnificent, your Life Spirit is stable, and the comprehension of ‘intent’ has become the pursuit of many experts.”
Xia Ji listened quietly. Huixin knew more than a human general who had only lived for a few decades.
The beautiful nun paused for a moment before continuing.
‘ But five hundred years into the Modern Age, the first great revolution in power came.
Mysterious skills are born,
It changed everything.
When ordinary martial arts were cultivated to the ninth level, it would still be called Force Qi. Even when the ninth level, Return to Soul, reached perfection, it would at most condense some faint shadows.
However, when one cultivated to the ninth level of the Xuan cultivation, one could condense a Dharma. The Dharma was like a real thing, and it was not something that a phantom could compare to. The power that the Dharma increased was even more powerful.
As such, those who could condense Dharma Power and those who could not were two completely different levels.
In the hundred years after that, the various major forces fought tor the Xuan cultivation method, but after that, it calmed down a lot.
According to the division of the Middle Ages, the Law was equivalent to the tenth realm.
This realm required more effort than the first to the ninth realm. In addition, it required sufficient mental strength to push the mystic cultivation to the ninth realm.
Xuan techniques themselves are also very rare..”
