Chapter 496 The Lost Decade (6K)
Kong Ning was taken aback by Zhu Yan's proposal.
He froze in place.
Return to hometown?
It has been decades since he left the earth.
Not to mention that things have changed in his hometown, even when he was in his hometown, Kong Ning didn't have many friends.
As an orphan for two generations, Kong Ning's life on Earth can't be said to be terrible, but it's definitely not too wonderful.
There are only a few people who are familiar with each other, but it is not necessarily true that it is better to have more relationships.
In the previous life, Kong Ning was just a fatherless, fragile and sensitive person with a slightly withdrawn personality.
Traveling to Shanlan County in this life, the reason why she has become both right and left-handed and good at dancing is also a rebound in a certain sense.
He had no parents or mother in his previous life, and he had low self-esteem and was inferior to others since he was a child.
In this life, I finally had my parents, and my father still had martial arts from his family, so I have been working hard to prove myself and live the kind of life that I most envied in my previous life, with both parents, a happy family, and a happy life.
Although it was finally discovered that all that was just a ridiculous dream, not real at all.
But the ten years of life in Shanlan County are real for Kong Ning.
Everything he experienced made him change from that frail and lonely orphan to a strong character who now truly has close friends and is able to grit his teeth in the face of chasing and killing monsters from all over the world.
Live well on the land of Shenzhou, even if you are hunted down by monsters all over the world, you don't feel lonely.
Now go back to my hometown... what can I do?
Go back and pretend to be a ghost, show your holiness in front of people, and make a good show of yourself?
Or go to those enemies who hated and offended when they were young, and take revenge?
However, in peacetime, what kind of enemy could a little orphan offend?
Most of them are nothing more than a few white eyes, or intentional or unintentional ostracism, after many years and across two worlds, just go back to revenge for this little grudge?
Kong Ning shook his head and said: "I have no nostalgia for my hometown, and there is no need to go back."
Now on the land of Shenzhou, the situation is strange, killings and catastrophes are about to occur, and the world is in chaos.
Kong Ning is in the middle of it, he must seize all the time to strengthen his own strength, how can he have time to go back to his hometown for vacation.
In the future, if the world is clear and the evils recede, you can consider taking Wan'er Caiwei and the others back for a stroll.
Now, there is no time.
But just after Kong Ning finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something and changed his words.
"No... Maybe I should go back..."
Kong Ning looked in the direction behind him. Although the weird mist did not chase after him, the scene he saw at the weird Fengling Ferry before was too horrifying.
If it hadn't been for Zhu Yan's timely rescue, Kong Ning would have lost his mind and soul.
The stone tablet engraved with the words of the hometown, and those strange ghosts that came to Kongning inexplicably... Could it be that these things have something to do with the earth?
Thinking of the night watchman mistaking Kong Ning for an old fairy from the fairy world, and the many legends on the earth that are the same as Shenzhou and the fairy world...
Kong Ning suddenly felt that if he went back to Earth at this time, he might really find something.
Dinghaishenzhen, Qingqiu Jiuwei, Yunmengze, Kunlun Mountain, etc. have exactly the same names, no matter how you think about it, there may be some connection between the two worlds.
When Kong Ning thought of this, his eyes became firmer.
He looked at Zhu Yan and said, "Let's take a walk, I think my hometown may hide some kind of secret."
Many legends on the earth have come true on the land of Shenzhou.
Even the customs of the two places are very similar.
Kong Ning felt that this might not be a coincidence.
And Zhu Yan didn't talk nonsense, seeing that Kong Ning had changed his mind, he threw the blue dragon sword in his arms over from a distance, and said.
"A drop of primordial spirit blood from the holy envoy is needed."
Yuanshen blood, which is different from the blood of the flesh, is completely a condensed body of spirit and breath.
Even a drop of loss is a great damage.
But Kong Ning didn't hesitate, and went out of his body directly, and came to the Azure Dragon Sword.
I saw the azure blue dragon sword clang out of its sheath, directly cutting through Kong Ning's primordial spirit.
A drop of primordial spirit blood splashed out lightly and landed on the blade of the Azure Dragon Sword.
Afterwards, the dragon sword returned to its sheath, turned into a beam of sword light and flew back into Zhu Yan's arms.
Zhu Yan embraced the blue dragon sword, Shen Xin felt it, as if confirming the location information.
However, this silence lasted for half an hour.
Half an hour later, when Zhu Yan opened his eyes again, his eyes were full of confusion.
"Unable to find location information..."
Zhu Yan was perplexed and puzzled: "Somewhere, it seems that there is some power that blocked my comprehension."
"As soon as I tried to interpret the information in the spirit blood, I saw a strange jar devouring all spirits..."
Zhu Yan looked at Kong Ning and said, "Has the envoy seen this jar?"
As he said that, Zhu Yan tapped his finger, and a pitch-black crock appeared out of nowhere in the air.
Kong Ning looked in his eyes, speechless in his heart.
He couldn't be more familiar with this broken earthen jar...
"This is the Spirit Devouring Jar..."
Kong Ning said slowly: "The chief culprit who brought me to Shenzhou. I didn't expect that it would be fine if he took me to Shenzhou, but he still doesn't allow me to go back?"
Does this broken jar really have some kind of self-awareness?
But even if it has self-awareness, why does it prevent Kong Ning from going back?
The more the Spirit-swallowing Magic Jar prevented Kong Ning from going back, the more Kong Ning confirmed that there was some kind of secret hidden on the other side of the earth.
After Kong Ning roughly explained the legend of the Spirit Swallowing Demon Jar, Zhu Yan finally understood.
"I see……"
Holding the edge of the deck, he stood up with difficulty, and said, "But I can try to crack it. Although this tank can stop me for a while, it cannot stop me forever."
"I will send the envoy back to the present world first, and after bypassing the interference of this earthen pot and deciphering the location information of the hometown in the blood of the envoy's primordial spirit, I will look for the envoy."
At this moment, Zhu Yan's complexion has recovered a lot.
He stood up straight, and said: "The world is dangerous, and demons gather together, and I hope the envoy will be solemn."
The friendship between men has always been simple.
Even the words of caring seemed so stiff.
But Kong Ning was moved in his heart.
He looked at the dark cabin, and didn't ask Zhu Yan about the troubles and sufferings he had suffered in these years.
There are some things that everyone knows in their hearts, but it is too hypocritical to say them.
In the end, Kong Ning only left a hard farewell sentence.
"Treasure each other."
The process of returning to the present world was extremely smooth.
The Qianlong treasure ship drifting in the void dimension can quickly reach the present world as long as it has an accurate coordinate anchor point.
Zhu Yan sensed a single strange thing, and directly took Kong Ning through nothingness and landed in the wilderness.
With the sound of the dragon's chant, Kong Ning, who was stepping on auspicious clouds, descended from the sky, and what he saw was a huge monster taking a bath in the mountains.
The monster was in the shape of a pitch-black bison, ten feet high, standing like a hill in the lake among the mountains, stirring up the water in the lake.
In the meantime, there are several beautiful and beautiful banshees around the huge bison, playing and playing in the water, having a great time.
If it weren't for Zhu Yan's Qianlong treasure ship following the breath, who would have thought that this absurd and lustful demon king would be a strange thing crawling out of the abyss of the country of death?
The group of cold, dead, emotionless and strange creatures can all pretend to be impeccable and deeply involved in the play when they play roles.
This is also one of the most terrifying things about weird things.
But Kong Ning's falling from the sky stunned the monsters playing in the lake in the mountains.
The buffalo stood up even more furiously: "He Fangxiao is young! Dare to spy on Grandpa Niu taking a bath!"
However, after looking at Kong Ning's face, the buffalo turned around and fled in an instant.
I don't see the spirit of the demon king anymore, and at the critical moment of life and death, it shows a bit of cold and withered numbness, which is the true color of strange things.
However, the wives and concubines of the Demon King didn't have time to observe the abnormal state of their own king.
After seeing Kong Ning's face clearly, they all yelled in horror.
"It's the Spirit Devourer!"
"Soul Devourer!"
The five banshees all flew in all directions, running as fast as the pitch-black bison.
The husband and wife are originally birds in the same forest, and they fly separately when the catastrophe is imminent, which is very vividly interpreted by them.
However, sword energy descended from the sky, and the light of the pitch-black Soul-Suppressing Sword swept out, and the five fleeing banshees were all cut off by the sword energy and died on the spot.
Only the fastest bison, with good cultivation, was at the peak of Yuanshen Realm.
Kong Ning had no choice but to send a ghost to kill him at the end of the valley.
Is it just that monsters at the peak of the Yuanshen Realm will also be parasitized by strange things...
Kong Ning's expression was slightly ugly.
The columbarium has always said before that the higher the cultivation level, the easier it is to be corroded by the abyss of the dead country.
Most of the weird things that Kong Ning has encountered for a long time are above the level of disgust.
Now, even the mountain demon kings in the Yuanshen Realm will be parasitized...
The more one understands deeply, the more serious the corrosion of the abyss of the dead country is, the more serious it is than imagined.
Kong Ning, who was standing next to the bison's corpse, inspected carefully, but found nothing.
After the death of a creature corroded by strange things, there is nothing abnormal about the corpse, and it looks the same as that of an ordinary creature after death.
Judging from this corpse, it can't be seen that it was parasitized by strange things.
But Kong Ning could sense the weirdness in it.
Because there are no demons manifesting...
All creatures beheaded by Kong Ning, no matter good or evil, will turn into Kong Ning's ghosts after death and let Kong Ning envoy him.
But after the bison died, no ghost appeared.
Its soul has long been replaced by strange things.
But now it seems that Kong Ning does not have the ability to kill and refine strange things into ghosts.
So where do these weird things go after death?
Dissipate directly?
Or...returned to the abyss of the dead country?
Kong Ning frowned and looked into the distance, silently flipping through the memories of those banshees.
The memory fragments of these banshees are not complete.
But after sketching each other, they can still barely describe a general situation.
This is not the Great Lake of the Northland, or even on the land of Shenzhou, but a vast island in the East China Sea.
It's just that the island is so big that it's almost a piece of land.
Its vertical and horizontal area is not weaker than that of the Asiatic continent in the previous life.
However, in the vast Divine Continent, this vast land surrounded by the sea can only ride on islands.
I didn't expect that I would return to the present world again and run to such a remote location...
The Youquan dragon head of Qingqiu country, won't go crazy, right?
In order to prevent Kong Ning from leaving the Northland Daze before, it even showed up to fight the Three Hatred Demon Immortals.
But now Kong Ning has come to the East China Sea quietly...
Kong Ning felt that no matter what the motives of the dragon head of Youquan were, his first priority might be to find a way to go to Qingqiu country to explain.
To save the trouble that Youquan Longshou thought that Kong Ning broke the contract and came to find Kong Ning.
Or... waiting in place?
The Youquan dragon head seems to have a way to locate Kongning, and it can travel through the underworld.
Maybe Kong Ning will wait a little longer, and the eight-tailed demon fox or monk Zhizhen will come to the door...
Kong Ning sighed, and continued to look through the memories of the banshees.
But the more he looked back, the more astonished his expression became.
Because in the memory of these banshees, he saw an extremely strange thing.
Ten years have passed since the Northern Daze Rebellion!
Ten years ago, the Lord of Devouring Spirits appeared in the Great Lake of the Northland, stirring up the situation, silently killing all the monsters on Dishang Island and Dihe Island, and sweeping away all the power of stars in the two star palaces.
Then he invited Mr. Kui Shan to fight against Mr. Kui Shan under the moon.
However, at the critical moment, the rumored Three Hate Fairy appeared, preventing this shocking battle and bringing the terrifying truth.
It turns out that the Six Desire Heavenly Demon in the ancient legend has already come to the world.
And this means that the Heavenly Demon of Six Desires, who came to kill the heaven and earth, has married the Demon Lord of Devouring Spirits!
And then, an unknown true fairy came to the world to fight against the Three Hate Demon Immortals in order to protect the Spirit Swallowing Demon Lord.
At the end of the war, tens of thousands of Beidi Daze were killed and injured.
Although Mr. Kui Shan activated the star array in time, the power of the true immortal is so powerful that many demon soldiers and demons will still be frightened to death by the breath of the true immortal battle.
After this battle, the Spirit Devourer Demon Lord disappeared without a trace, and his aura could no longer be found on the Divine Continent.
But not long ago, it was said that after the fortune teller of the previous generation passed away, his disciples will inherit the fortune teller's mantle and reappear in the world.
And the first thing this young fortune teller did when he came out of the mountain was to go to Kunlun. With the help of the Kunlun twins, he would comprehend the secrets of heaven and find out the whereabouts of the spirit-swallowing demon lord who had disappeared for many years.
The Yaomo Dao, which had been silent for ten years because of the disappearance of the Spirit Devourer, became a sensation again as the news spread.
There are even rumors that the Lord of Devouring Spirits disappeared because he went to look for those legendary true immortals.
After all, in the Daze of the North, there was already a true immortal who came to the world to help the Lord of Devouring Spirits.
Now that the Three Hate Demon Immortals and the Six Desire Heavenly Demons have come to the stage one after another, perhaps those otherworldly true immortals who only exist in legends will also come to the world one by one...
There is also a small country in the East China Sea, a woman who is suspected of being a cat demon walked out, claiming to be a follower of the spirit-swallowing demon lord. With one's own power, he destroyed six monster kingdoms in a row. Wherever he went, the monsters were terrified. Even the great master of the Zifu sent by Yunmengze was defeated and fled, claiming to be invincible.
That's why there are also rumors in the demon world, saying that in the ten years since the Lord Devourer disappeared, he found a peerless genius who is rare in ten thousand years, and he must be cultivated to become a talent...
Flipping through Kong Ning's memories of the Banshee, she was dumbfounded.
What the hell is going on with this!
Didn't I just slip around in the mist and be rescued by Zhu Yan?
It's only been a few days, right?
How come back to the present world? Ten years have passed?
Could it be that the dimension of nothingness is different from reality and the passage of time?
But when I returned from Lingruo Temple before, the passage of time in the void dimension was exactly the same as in the present world.
Or is there something weird out of the mist?
Kong Ning felt that he closed his eyes and appeared in the mist, but in fact he has been in the mist for ten years?
Then what happened to him during the ten years he was in a coma in the mist?
That group of evil ghosts, standing on the ruined wall of Fengling Ferry, waited for him for ten years?
Kong Ning had a strange expression, and suddenly felt an extremely absurd feeling in his heart.
Although only ten years have passed, this feeling of changing things and changing people is too bad.
Isn't this the ten-year version of Lan Keshan?
Is the time in the world of mythology so casual?
Aware of inappropriate emptiness, he subconsciously checked his own condition.
I was too busy fleeing for my life on the Qianlongbao boat and chatting with Zhu Yan before, so I didn't have time to pay attention.
But now that he found himself in the mist for ten years, Kong Ning suddenly noticed the strangeness.
It's impossible for that group of evil ghosts to have been waiting for him at Fengling Ferry for ten years, right?
As soon as Kong Ninglue realized it sincerely, he immediately discovered the strangeness.
First of all... the group of evil spectrums are gone!
The group of evil genealogy of unknown origin that he carried close to his body disappeared without trace and went to nowhere!
Then there was the Soul Lost Bell... The biggest gift that the night watchman gave to Kong Ning before he left, the powerful fairy weapon that was said to be able to suppress the enemy regardless of the difference in the realm of Taoism, also disappeared.
Fortunately, the soul-suppressing sword of the intercourse with life is still there, and the spirit-swallowing pot in the dantian is also as usual.
Otherwise, Kong Ning might really go crazy.
Losing two great treasures one after another... Damn, could it be that he was already searched when he was unconscious in the mist?
Taking a closer look, Kong Ning's expression became even more exciting.
Because at this time, he suddenly discovered a strange thing.
The demon power flowing in his body seemed to have undergone a qualitative change.
First of all, it is the nature of the demon power, it is no longer frenzied and violent, but has become cold and silent, with a gloomy air.
Although one can control one's mind with a single thought, it is indeed no longer demonic power.
Instead, it turned into a strange and cold force that Kong Ning had never heard of.
After Shen Xin realized it, Kong Ning thought, and his soul came out of his body.
Fortunately, the demon power in the body has changed, but the primordial spirit remains unchanged.
Only vaguely, Kong Ning seemed to realize that the primordial spirit had become afraid of light and fond of darkness.
Standing under the scorching sun now, he even had the urge to hide under the shade of a tree.
Obviously, for a cultivator of his level, even magma and raging fire are nothing, let alone a mere sunshine... huh? Wait, realm!
Kong Ning, who finally came to his senses, was stunned.
At this moment, his spiritual power is flowing, his soul is condensed, his body is perfect, his body is full of blood, and his energy is unlimited. The purple air is connected with the breath of heaven and earth.
With every movement of hands and feet, it seems to be integrated with the heaven and earth, and all the spiritual energy between the heaven and the earth is like an arm.
Is this... the Purple Mansion Realm? !
An impeccable body, an immortal body... What the hell is this not the Purple Mansion?
But when did I testify to the Purple Mansion? I do not know how?
Kong Ning was dumbfounded.
It stands to reason that after proving the way to the Purple Mansion, mana power will skyrocket, and people will be able to sense and understand supernatural powers, and the spiritual realm of the whole person, and even the practice of supernatural powers, will be qualitatively improved.
But now he is still the same as before, his mana is still so much, it has not increased, but it has just become another kind of cold, silent, gloomy power.
There is not even the connection between heaven and man, nor the realization of supernatural powers. The spiritual realm and supernatural powers of the whole person seem to be no different from before.
This is also the reason why Kong Ning has not found any abnormalities.
But under Shen Xin's perception, Yuanshen has indeed condensed the three flowers on the top and the five qi in his chest, and turned into a complete Zifu fairy...
Could it be that during the ten years he was in a coma in the mist, some supreme power helped him break through the Purple Mansion Realm that he could not break through originally?
Or is it that the group of ghosts in Fenglingdu took away the magic weapon of Kong Ning and helped Kong Ning break through the Purple Mansion at the same time?
But why did those bastards help Kong Ning?
The writing on the stone tablet is the writing of the ancient earth... Are those ghosts and ghosts really empty and peaceful?
But they helped Kong Ning, and later showed malice towards Kong Ning. If Zhu Yan hadn't come so fast, Kong Ning would have died at Fengling Ferry... What's the situation?
Or is it a group of people who helped Kong Ning in the mist, and another group of people who hurt Kong Ning at Fengling Ferry?
Kong Ning stood where he was, his thoughts were confused, and he was in a daze.
The more I think about it, the worse it gets.
The lost ten years made him foolish.
The huge gap between this situation and his own situation is even greater than when he opened his eyes and realized that he had traveled through time.
After all, Kong Ning, who is a strange thing, has already searched all kinds of methods and confirmed that he cannot prove the Tao of Zifu.
The way he used to plunder the spirit energy of the living beings by means of the Spirit-swallowing Magic Jar, and forcibly practiced, was the end when he reached the pinnacle of the dreadful state.
Further on, it was pitch black and there was no road to speak of.
But now he just passed out in the mist for ten years, and somehow he proved to the Purple Mansion?
Although the emptiness of the Purple Mansion is clear, I can clearly feel that I am different from other Purple Mansions.
But this is still Zifu!
Once you reach the Zifu Realm, you can continue to increase your mana and refine your supernatural powers.
Even if there is no increase in realm, but relying on the accumulation of mana, it can still disrupt the world...
For a moment, Kong Ning couldn't even tell which was a good thing and which was a bad thing for him to lose the two magic tools of the Lost Soul Bell and the Qunxie Spectrum, and to prove his way to the Zifu.
The main reason is that the purple mansion came too strangely and evilly.
Even the monster power in the body has changed its nature...
Kong Ning subconsciously felt uneasy.
Kong Ning, who was standing in the wilderness, had a gloomy face, and the center of his brows was almost torn by himself.
Still haven't figured out why.
For ten years, he really felt nothing.
If he hadn't repeatedly confirmed that the memories of these banshees were real, he would have suspected that he was dreaming.
Now standing alone on the wilderness, looking around, Kong Ning is subconsciously at a loss, not knowing where to go.
"Forget it, let's see how Wan'er and the others are doing..."
Kong Ning frowned.
Before that, he kept ghosts in Daze in Beidi and Hejian Mansion in Zhou State.
And these ghosts, no matter how far apart they are, as long as they are in the same dimensional world, Kong Ning can sense them and even control them.
After Kong Ning returned, his mind is buzzing and messed up. After much deliberation, it is better to get in touch with Wan'er and the others first.
However, after Shen Xin sensed Kong Ning, he was immediately stunned.
His mind can still sense the existence of the ghosts left behind in the far away place.
But now, he can't control those ghosts to speak and do things, and all the instructions they send out disappear midway, as if the distance is too far away.
But when I was in Beidi Daze before, I could also control the ghosts in Hejian Mansion remotely.
Could it be...
"The price of the Purple Mansion Realm?" Kong Ning's complexion changed slightly, and he called out the ghosts again to confirm.
It was found that once the ghosts were more than 10,000 miles away from him, they could not be remotely controlled.
Fortunately, the ghosts still follow Kong Ning's will, they will fly back by themselves, and they will not rebel because of the distance.
But Kong Ning's magical ability to remotely control ghosts regardless of distance is gone.
For Kong Ning, this is a real weakening.
It's just that Kong Ning discovered the reason after careful research.
It was the metamorphic spiritual power in his body...
The icy cold power surging in the meridians is different from all the demon power, mana power, and spiritual power that Kong Ning knows.
It was this spiritual power that had completely changed after he attained enlightenment to the Purple Mansion, which caused Kong Ning to lose the power to remotely control demons and ghosts.
And in a trance, Kong Ning felt a familiar aura.
The gloomy and cold feeling of the spiritual power in my body seems to be very similar to the tangible things in the underworld...
Kong Ning, who realized this, suddenly had an absurd guess.
During the ten years he was in a coma, he must have been transformed into the same group of evil ghosts...
PS: I have a cold, otherwise I feel like I can write more...
In the future, it should be Dazhang. I heard from old authors that Dazhang has many benefits. I don’t know what the benefits are, but I still obeyed.
And it feels smoother to write the big chapter.
If it weren't for the fact that I have been suffering from a cold for the past few days, I should be able to start with 6,000 words a day.
