37, Chapter Thirty-Seven(1/3)
In fact, after asking Chu Jinxiao to step aside, Ning Ji hesitated for a moment whether he had spoken too harshly.
But this thought only fleetingly passed away. After it rose in the bottom of his heart, it was quickly brushed away like dust. Ning Ji suppressed his emotions and desires, waited until the wave of enthusiasm passed, and closed his eyes to practice.
The lights in the room were on all night until daybreak the next day.
Birds were chirping outside the window. It had been raining for many days, and the entire Donghai Mansion was shrouded in a layer of gloom. At this time, it was rare to see sunny days.
The gentle sunlight shone on the window coffin. Ning Ji withdrew his gaze, lowered his head to investigate, and found that his cultivation, which had stayed in the perfect state of the late Nascent Soul for a long time, had actually loosened up a bit.
It is not easy to break through from Yuanying to become a god, and it is unheard of for someone as young as Ning Ji.
Yuntian was eager for quick success because he had no hope of becoming a god, but after his death, he never imagined that someone could break through without the help of external forces.
Ning Ji has always practiced with only a sword in his hand.
By the time he reaches this state, the sword's heart has already become clear.
Therefore, no matter how much benefit Chu Jinxiao gained and how envious the Zulong Tomb was, he never gave it a second thought.
When you cultivate your true nature, you cultivate your original mind.
If you can't even keep your heart, it's better to just give up.
After he stood up, the fatigue from a night of practice was naturally lifted off his body.
The brilliance in the inner elixir circulates and repairs the body, making Ning Ji's brows relax a lot.
When Kong Ling woke up this morning, he faintly felt that there seemed to be something different about Ning Ji.
The man was still dressed as before, his ghostly face remained unchanged, but his aura seemed to have changed.
It seems that in addition to the coldness and loneliness, there is something more... majestic that makes people's hearts palpitate.
Although Kong Ling is now a clone, he himself is also a great cultivator of the Yuan Dynasty. To make him feel like this, Ning Ji is - a breakthrough?
He opened his eyes wide in disbelief.
He was shocked when he saw the man looking over as if aware of his gaze. Kong Ling quickly looked back pretending to be nonchalant.
This egg released spiritual consciousness from time to time, and Ning Ji was used to it. He only glanced at the other person and then looked away.
At this moment, the disciple waiting outside knocked on the door.
"Your Majesty, Zhenri Zhenjun invites you to come to the main hall to discuss matters."
In the past few days, following the trace of the escaped disciples, many sects in the East China Sea that had colluded with the demons were traced. Ning Ji knew that today's meeting was to deal with the liquidation of those sects.
He paused at his fingertips and lowered his eyes, thinking that he would be leaving Donghai Mansion after today, and it happened to be that he also went to bid farewell today.
After staying here for many days, his realm has loosened, and it's time to break through. It's time to return to Jianfeng.
With this thought in mind, while the disciples were waiting outside the door, he still said: "I understand."
Kong Ling's ears perked up and shined brightly after hearing these words.
Ning Ji frowned as he left, glanced at it, and took the egg with him.
It's boring, but that's a thing.
…
Su Fengyan still didn't come today.
After testing Su Fengyan on the day of hiding the sun, he became suspicious of him. However, there was no need to expose these things openly.
After everyone had arrived, Zhan Ri distributed the names of those who had been thoroughly investigated over the past few days to his disciples.
There are hundreds of sects, big and small, who are connected with the demons.
The East China Sea was simply a devil’s cave before!
He looked ugly.
Ning Ji took a look and was a little surprised.
He originally thought there would be dozens at most, but he didn't expect there to be twice as many.
Xie Yuqing put down his tea cup and said: "These sects have attached themselves to the Virtual Acting Sect in recent years, and the Virtual Acting Sect has turned to the Demon Clan. Naturally, they are no exception."
Ning Ji nodded thoughtfully.
Xie Yuqing looked at him and said, "Does the Sword Master want to participate in this matter?"
Participate in this matter and destroy the demon clan?
Ning Ji's brows paused, not to mention that the world of cultivation currently does not have the ability to take action against the demons. Even now, just relying on the incident in the East China Sea to launch a war is not the way to hide the sun.
Before there is a complete solution, Hidden Sun will not take the lead.
His identity as the master of the Pure Light Palace was inherited from the previous master. Zhenri Zhenjun has been seeking stability in everything these years, and he wants to be the king of success.
Although the demons have caused public outrage this time, most of the measures will be to handle it lightly, completely clean up the East China Sea, and order the other eight sects to take over in turn.
If it goes straight to the Demonic Realm, it is not covering up the sun.
Besides, now is not a good time.
Those people have their own thoughts and are thinking about the Ancestral Dragon Treasure, but they are just a bunch of people.
After hearing this, Ning Ji shook his head, raised his head and said, "I have recently felt that I need to break through, and maybe I will return to Jianfeng tomorrow."
Xie Yuqing didn't expect him to break through. He was stunned for a moment and then smiled and said, "Congratulations, Lord Sword."
The lobby was smoky, which was the only thing worthy of congratulations.
The breakthrough was actually within Ning Ji's expectation.
He has been here for many years due to the backlog of fire poison, and now it is just a matter of course. Seeing this, he nodded and said: "Thank you to the host for helping me many times these days."
"If necessary, the host can just ask."
Ning Ji was not used to owing favors, so now that he was leaving, he spoke up.
Xie Yuqing had known that he was like this. When the discussion was finished, he suddenly said: "I have never been to Jiejian Peak. It is said that the scenery there is extremely beautiful."
"What do you think, Sword Master?"
Ning Ji thought for a while and pursed his lips and said, "Jiejian Peak is always ice-colored."
"But it would be a wonderful thing if I thanked the original poster for coming to discuss Taoism." His brows relaxed a little under his ghostly expression.
Xie Yuqing chuckled: "Jian Zun, did you really invite me?"
Ning Ji raised his eyes and looked at him: "Why are you not sincere?"
His eyes were indifferent, obviously he sincerely invited him to discuss Taoism. Xie Yuqing paused in his heart, and suddenly started laughing again.
"good."
As Ning Ji said, after clearing the East China Sea, he will not move his troops for the time being.
Among the remaining people there were many aggrieved militants, but with one word from the sun, that person was silenced.
"The dangerous banquet in the Demon Lord Tower has already reached the Great Consummation stage of the Nascent Soul, and is only one step away from becoming a god."
"We were caught off guard now and our vitality has been severely damaged. If we do it again..."
Before he finished speaking, several people already understood.
Ling Wen didn't speak, and the elder who suggested attacking the demons had no choice but to sit down.
Seeing this, Zhanri reassured him: "Don't worry, Elder Mingquan, this time is just a temporary measure. I will remember the fact that the demons caused us to lose many elite disciples in my heart. I will not move at this time, but sooner or later I will let him return the favor."
return!"
He gave the promise and everyone felt at ease.
Ning Ji stayed because he wanted to resign.
As the discussion ended and people left, the hall became quiet. Zhan Ri raised his head and asked, "Sword Master, is this...?"
Ning Ji said directly: "Now that those remnants have been caught, the palace master may still be busy for some days. I am not feeling well, so I will take my disciples back to Yuqing Sect first."
When he mentioned Chu Jinxiao, everyone was hesitant.
However, because of a previous misunderstanding, several people did not dare to mention the matter of Zulong Tomb at this time.
They lost the opportunity, and now they have to watch Ning Ji lead the others away if they don't want to be blamed.
Zhan Ri had known this for a long time, so he was not surprised. He wanted to carve up the East China Sea, so it was a good thing that Ning Ji was not around. However, what surprised him was that Ning Ji said he was not feeling well.
"What happened to Sword Master's body?"
"Is it fire poison...?"
So far, no one knows what adventure Ning Ji had in the Ancestral Dragon Tomb. When he was killing the remnants of the Xuyan Sect, he only heard that his cultivation level had recovered. Now that he heard Ning Ji say that he was not feeling well, he couldn't help but ask.
He was thinking in his mind, and everyone in the palace was also worried about it.
Ning Ji raised his eyes and glanced at him, how could he not know what he was thinking, so he just said lightly: "Thank you for your concern, Lord Hall, but it's just these few days - I feel that I am about to break through."
Feeling like a breakthrough.
These words were spoken in the silent hall, which was truly shocking.
To be continued...
