After 100 years of leatherworking, I have become a giant in the magic sect.

Chapter 228 227. Ancient Boat Journey, Ten Thousand Stars Furnace (5.4K words - please subscribe)
The black crane pulled the ancient bronze boat slowly into the air.

The invisible shackles that bound this world were also gradually tightening and breaking.

Song Yan stood in front of Gu Zhou's cabin, it was raining outside.

heavy rain.

The rainstorm was as heavy as the ocean.

In this world of short days and long nights, the prosperity of thousands of years ago has been destroyed, leaving only the barely surviving people gasping for breath. Monks from all over the world have been tirelessly searching for a way to transcend, but they don't know that everything is in vain.

Song Yan rummaged through his storage bag but found that he didn't bring any wine. He smiled at himself for a moment.

At this moment, falling into drunkenness may not be a bad choice.

The Ascension Order bestowed by the old man made it less likely for him to get into trouble, at least on this ancient bronze boat.

He murmured softly, "The vast sea is crossed by a raft, and the black hole swallows the flowing light. Why fear the cold wind? I wear the clouds as my clothes. They all talk about the old hometown, and they have long forgotten the nine twists and turns. The sword energy is across the autumn, and the stars fall into the wine cup."

"You seem to be in a good mood."

The man in green came from the side.

If Song Yan had been so close to the Lord of Heaven and Earth before, he would have run away long ago.

But now, in the strangest of things, the enemies who once fought to the death, hunted each other, and played chess as chess pieces, now have to live in harmony.

Song Yan said: "You know too little about me."

"Oh?" Di Cunxin stood beside him, and as he looked down at the world that was getting farther and farther away, his expression was full of coldness and complexity.

At most, Song Yan left his hometown, but he completely gave up his own world.

He should be the one who suffers the most here.

Song Yan said: "It was a coincidence that I stepped into the Xiuxuan world. If nothing unexpected had happened, the burial tomb should have been left here. But this time I am far away from this place. It really brings back memories, and my heart is shaken. I am ashamed."

"The heart of Tao is shaking?" Emperor Cunxin's mouth twitched when he heard this. He wanted to laugh, but held it back.

He probably knew everything the kid beside him did.

This kid's firm faith in Taoism is unmatched at the time, and few can compare to him throughout the ages.

If his spiritual heart were to collapse, that would be really weird.

The emperor thought for a moment and understood Song Yan's intention: Tianqi Sword Palace is a righteous sect, and this kid deliberately pretends to be righteous here, and at the same time uses words like "the heart of Taoism is shaking" to try to prove that he is not qualified, so that he wants to keep a low profile and stay away from right and wrong.

Thinking of this, the Emperor smiled again, and then said: "He has achieved the state of incarnation in a short time, saving other people 3,000 years of time. With such a secret treasure, he certainly wants to keep a low profile. But I wonder if Envoy Ning is interested in this treasure."

After that, he paused for a moment, smiled and said: "You have been cultivating for so many years and have experienced so many things. You don't think that Tianqi Sword Palace is really a famous and upright sect that would not covet precious treasures, right?"

Song Yan was panicked.

But there is no solution to this problem.

He made the breakthrough on someone else's territory, and it was impossible to hide such a thing from the other party.

The emperor wanted to know everything about him.

And now, the emperor obviously wants to make a fuss about this matter.

However, although he was panicking, he also understood one thing - he could never admit to this even if he died.

However, at this moment, the emperor was obviously trying to threaten him, so he wanted to see what the other party was going to do first.

So Song Yan neither admitted nor denied it, but instead asked in a voice-over: "What do you think?"

The emperor smiled deliberately.

He looked at Song Yan with a smile, and then said, "No matter."

Song Yanmu's attempt failed and he failed to get any information from them.

Di Cunxin didn't say anything else, but looked at him with a smile, snorted and chuckled, then left.

Song Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, but for a moment he couldn't figure out what the emperor was planning.

Did you have something on him and want to use it to threaten him?
Do you think that we are from the same world and will be in the same sect in the future, so you want to recruit him as your younger brother?
However, cooperating with Di Cunxin is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger. Just as Di Cunxin understands Song Yan, Song Yan also understands Di Cunxin very well.

The sky and the earth gradually became the size of beans, then the size of ants, and then slowly turned into a black dot.

Song Yan was about to return to the training room arranged for him by Envoy Ning when he saw a white shadow coming from afar.

That figure was none other than Tianzun.

When he got closer, Tianzun said, "Thank you very much, Brother Song."

Song Yan said: "You're welcome."

Tianzun smiled, and then said: "Envoy Ning said that he wants to speed up, and asked you to store the secret realm in the Qi room, otherwise it will be completely shattered during the acceleration process, and the people inside will be torn to pieces by the turbulent flow."

Qi room? A place to store secrets?
Song Yan was stunned.

Sure enough, there are many new things.

He said, "Thank you for leading the way."

Tianzun smiled and said, "What's the use of Tianzun or not? It's just that I'm the king of a small hill. Why don't you just call me Linglong? I know Brother Song better than he thinks."

Looking at her smile, Song Yan was stunned. This smile actually made him feel a bit of Hua Linglong and Long Muyun's aura, which was very familiar and close.

Hua Linglong turned around, and the two of them went one in front and one behind, heading towards the depths of the ancient bronze boat.

Qi room.

It is an ancient bronze room.

The walls of the room were engraved with complex patterns that looked like some kind of heavenly writing.

In the center, there is a dark and dense rock the size of an egg suspended.

The mysterious energy is so rich that it is beyond imagination, lingering here like a dream dragon.

At some point, Envoy Ning's voice was heard here.

"Little guy, that is the core of a star after the complete annihilation of the world. This room can store many secret realms. Just put your own secret realm in it."

Song Yan bowed slightly towards the height, then raised his palm slightly and took out the secret realm of the formless ancestral vein that was attached to the main space, turning it into a ball of misty light hanging in his hand.

He could see through the light and see Tang Ningxin, Wang Susu, Su Yao, An Li, Yu Xuanwei, and even Ling Xiaoxiao, Princess Xi, Tang Xiaokong, Tang Yanfen and others.
These old friends could see the entire sky blocked by Song Yan's face, and they all bowed.

Song Yan stretched out his five fingers slightly, watching the ball of light drift away, go to the vicinity of the star core of Nirvana, and then revolve around the star core.

He sensed it carefully and found that this room was extremely mysterious. It looked like no more than the size of a room, but it was like Mount Sumeru hidden in a mustard seed.

What caused all this were the small heavenly characters around the bronze chamber walls and this annihilated star core.

The core of a star that had completely destroyed the world was used to make the material for a cabin. Song Yan could only sigh with emotion, and for a moment he felt shocked, as if "an ant looks at the blue sky, and a summer insect sees the four seasons."

There is anxiety, tension, and fear, but ultimately there is also a glimmer of hope and joy for a bigger world.

In the world that Emperor Yu Cunxin had in mind, he might have been a well-deserved old demon, but in this new world, he was just a young man.

"Little guy, stop looking and return to the cabin quickly. The Five Spirits Heavenly Demon Palace is nearby. If you don't speed up and they see you, there will be another fierce battle. By then, even if the aftermath is affected, you will be reduced to ashes."

Envoy Ning's voice of reminder sounded again, "There are some small gifts in the cabin, so I'll take this opportunity to get to know you two little friends."

Song Yan bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you, Your Excellency."

Song Yan returned to the training cabin.

Hua Linglong went with him.

Hua Linglong came here with Song Yan and is also dependent on Song Yan.

The "two young friends" mentioned by Envoy Ning did not include Hua Linglong.

On the table in the cabin, there was a bowl of soup, the color of which was somewhat similar to eight-treasure porridge.

Song Yan stared at the soup, a hint of hidden vigilance flashing in his eyes.

In the new realm, the role of "Yu Shou Dao Guo" is no longer about "lifespan", but more about "trial and error" and "true name".

As his wisdom began to work, information emerged.

[You took the "Nine Nether Blood Lotus Soup". You felt that it was looking for your inner demons, trying to draw them out and help you get through them, so that your mind would be free of distractions. However, your mind was already free of distractions, so this soup did not work. You felt like you had tasted a bowl of thick eight-treasure porridge.]

Song Yan withdrew his gaze, and a strange feeling emerged in his heart.

This "little gift" actually is a little gift.

There was no pit at all, which really made him hard to adapt to.

He picked up the "Nine Nether Blood Lotus Soup" and glanced at Hua Linglong on the side.

He did not give this useless resource to Hua Linglong, but put it to his mouth, tasted it carefully, and then ate it in big mouthfuls, and then sat cross-legged in the center of the training room.

After a moment, he suddenly frowned and started talking wildly as if he was in a nightmare.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!! Kill you bad guys!"

"One wrong step and I'll fall into evil! It's my fault, all my fault!"

"Why? We were so close to saving this country, why?!"

Not far away, Hua Linglong fell into silence.

She really understands Song Yan very well.

So, at this moment, her heart was filled with a strange feeling.

She glanced silently at the "little gift".

With her vision, she could naturally guess that this little gift was a treasure that could "help people dig out their inner demons, resolve their inner demons, and increase the purity of their souls." It was extremely rare. If she could take this treasure, it would also allow the three corpses to have a better fit.

But, Song Yan's inner demon is "failed to kill the bad guys" and "failed to save the country"? ? Hua Linglong's heart was moved, and she murmured to herself: "Could it be that I have always misunderstood him? Is he only longing for light?"

Just as he was thinking about it, Song Yan's eyes suddenly became bloodshot, tears streamed down his face, and he burst into a roar.

"With my sword, I will slay all the evil demons!"

Flower Linglong:
She lowered her head silently and said to herself: "This Song brother is really interesting."

Song Yan really couldn't tell whether he was a good person or not.

He no longer had the confidence to know who was a good person, nor did he have the courage to stop being wary of others.

So, he can only assume that everyone is a bad person.

Based on this inference, it is obvious that the evil of Tianqi Sword Palace is not just on the surface.

Because whether it is the old man named Ning Daozhen, or the senior Gu Mohan who was sitting cross-legged in the sea of ​​suffering and trying to purify his obsession with the sea, or this bowl of "Nine Nether Blood Lotus Soup" without any "condiments" added, they all show that Tiantian Qijian Palace does not look bad.

So, in order to survive in such a force, he began a brief performance.

The "Nine Nether Blood Lotus Soup" was a gift from the Supreme Envoy, so its effect must be very strong, so his performance could not be faked.

At least if Envoy Ning saw it, he would have a preliminary understanding of his character.

He was just a monk who was forced into the evil world by mistake, and who was determined to do good and long for light.

At first, Song Yan felt that he was really like that.

But after a long time, he could no longer tell the difference.

After a long time, Song Yan opened his eyes again. He looked at the tears on his cheeks, raised his hand to wipe them away, and glanced to the side, only to see Hua Linglong sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed, meditating. She seemed to be indifferent to what was happening outside and did not move.

Just as he was about to stand up, Hua Linglong suddenly opened her eyes, stood up, clasped her fists and said, "Brother Song was yelling and crying, laughing and crying just now, but now your eyes are much clearer, congratulations."

Song Yan said: "I never thought this soup would have such an effect, but..."

Hua Linglong cooperated very well and acted as a supporting role, saying, "Just what?"

Song Yan said: "It's a bargain for me."

Hua Linglong asked: "Why?"

Song Yan laughed at himself and said, "I was unable to save those people in the past, and the inner demons that followed were a kind of punishment for me. But now, they have been easily resolved because of a bowl of soup. Isn't it a good deal for me?"

Hua Linglong looked at him strangely.

Song Yan, however, looked up into the distance, his eyes clear and filled with a noble spirit.

For a moment, Hua Linglong couldn't tell whether it was true or false.

Each of her three corpses was telling her "This boy is extremely cunning, cunning, and cunning", but she really could not find any evidence that the boy in front of her was cunning.

The highest point of the ancient bronze boat is a triangular formation.

Triangle, three seats, but only two people sitting there.

One of them was Envoy Ning, and the other was the butcher-like monk.

The butcher laughed and said, "As expected of someone who came from such a poor and remote place, he is capable of handling things."

Envoy Ning shook his head slightly and said, "The Nine Nether Blood Lotus Soup is a substance that can cleanse the inner demons. Didn't you see that the Xuanhuang cultivator surnamed Di didn't even dare to touch it? He was either too cautious or had a lot of experience and knew what it was, so he didn't dare to drink it in front of me, lest I see his dark side."

The butcher put away his smile and said, "Daoyou Yunmiao, you have never seen those independent worlds outside the star field. The words "brutal" and "cunning" cannot describe the cultivators there.

It’s not their fault, it’s just that the environment is such that they can’t survive without being cunning.

The three people who were able to ride on the Nine Cranes Boat were all at the top of the original world.

Especially this kid surnamed Song, he obviously didn't get along with Di Cunxin. But he was able to jump around under Di Cunxin's nose and board this boat, which was really not easy.

If we were in their shoes, neither you nor I would be able to do it.

So I find it hard to imagine that such a person would actually... Ha, ha ...

The envoy Ning's name is Ning Yunmiao. He said calmly, "When he took the Nine Nether Blood Lotus Soup, he didn't hesitate. Do you think a cunning person would dare to drink the medicine given by others so easily?"

The butcher shook his head slowly and murmured, "I can't see through it."

Ning Yunmiao smiled and said, "Daoist Lei Che, what is there to be confused about? True and false, false and true, many things in the world are never that complicated.

After going through thousands of journeys, you will eventually return as a baby; after being deeply rooted in the mud, you will eventually bloom as a white lotus.

This boy has a good character and deserves to join my Tianqi Sword Palace."

The two were talking when they suddenly stopped talking at the same time and their expressions changed slightly.

A human-shaped shadow appeared in front of the Nine Cranes Ancient Bronze Boat at some point in time. The shadow was vague and ethereal, forming a huge outline, with five bright spots of light like lanterns floating around it.

There are different outlines in the light spots, and they exude the aura of the five elements.

Lei Che said: "The Five Spirits Heavenly Demon Palace has a really sharp nose, they can smell this."

Ning Yunmiao said: "Speed ​​up! This trip is only to recover the dragon skeleton and the corpse of Senior Gu Mohan! We can't let them get to us!"

The butcher nodded.

A voice echoed in the void.

"The dragon skeleton remains."

Whoosh!
The golden flames in the cracks of the ancient bronze boat suddenly grew stronger, and the speed of the boat increased again.

The phantom said no more and raised his hand. The spirits of the five elements each performed their duties and the surrounding space structure began to distort, giving off a strange feeling.

Lei Che frowned and said, "Daoist Yun Miao, you concentrate on controlling the air boat, and I will deal with him."

Boom!

Bang! !

The violent sound was like rolling thunder.

Song Yan didn't know what was happening outside for a moment and could only barely maintain his balance.

After a long time, the bumpy feeling disappeared, and Ning Yunmiao's voice came from above.

"It will take about 30 years to return to the Wanjian Star Region. You should practice quietly in the practice room."

Song Yan and Hua Linglong stood up and saluted, saying respectfully, "Yes, Your Excellency."

Ning Yunmiao's voice came again: "Song Yan, I have a good impression of you. Since you have obtained my grandfather's order of ascension, you will become his registered disciple. My name is Ning Yunmiao, you can just call me Senior Sister."

Flower Linglong:
Song Yan said: "Yes, Senior Sister."

Ning Yunmiao said: "You haven't entered the Xuanhuang realm yet, so you can just use my sect's basic method to build your foundation. I will give you the introductory chapter, and you can read it. When you really enter the door, it will save you some effort."

As soon as he finished speaking, a jade slip fell from the sky and landed in Song Yan's hands.

Song Yan probed with his spiritual sense and took a quick look, then he saw five big words: "The Secret of the Furnace of Ten Thousand Stars".

The inner chapters are obviously incomplete, only recording the first method: Morning Star to Lead Fire.

All disciples of our sect can, at the time of the sun and moon alternations, ascend the bipolar sword platforms to collect the fire of the sun and the moon, and practice the "Ten Thousand Stars Furnace Art" to refine these two fires into "boundary power".

It is difficult to balance yin and yang, and sword energy is often raging. One needs to use secret small heavenly Dao characters to suppress oneself in order to avoid going astray.

Seeing this, Song Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At the beginning, he was still worried about whether he should use his omnipotent wisdom to practice "The Secret of the Ten Thousand Star Furnace", because the emperor wanted to know him inside and out. If he concealed his abilities at this time, when compared with others in the future, people would think that he really had hidden a secret treasure.

If he openly practiced at a very fast pace at this time and insisted that he was a genius once in a lifetime, then perhaps he could make more sense.

However, since this "Ten Thousand Stars Furnace Art" requires climbing the "Two-Polar Sword Platform" and needs the "Secret Small Heavenly Dao Characters" to suppress it, he cannot cultivate it.

Ning Yunmiao gave him this method just to let him master the method of collecting the fire of the moon and the sun in "The Ten Thousand Stars Furnace" in advance.

Song Yan thought for a moment and then began to practice with his omnipotent wisdom.

He must be a genius, otherwise he would be guilty of possessing a treasure and would have no way out.

Time flies, and thirty years have passed in a flash.

Boom!
There was a dull sound of an empty boat landing.

There were clear sounds of empty space and strong whistling wind coming from outside the boat. Even though the ancient boat had excellent sound insulation, it was unable to block those sounds.

Song Yan opened his eyes.

Ning Yunmiao's voice floated over: "How is it?"

Song Yan stood up and said respectfully: "Senior Sister, this method is very wonderful. I can't wait to find the Bipolar Sword Platform to try it out."

Ning Yunmiao smiled and said, "This method needs to be mastered through practice. You won't get anything out of it if you just practice it in seclusion for thirty years. Well, just follow my example and show me your understanding of the fire-collecting method."

Song Yan followed his words, moved his mind slightly, adjusted his breathing, and in an instant, a strange suction force appeared around his body. The force was neither fast nor slow, and extremely moderate, as if it was picking up something in the void.

After a moment, Ning Yunmiao's laughter was heard again.

This time, there was more praise in her laughter.

"As expected of someone that Grandpa has his eyes on, it's truly amazing that he can reach this level with just a jade slip without even reaching the Bipolar Sword Stage. This is worthy of praise."

Song Yan bowed and said, "Thank you for your praise, Senior Sister. It was just a fluke."

After that, he asked again: "Are we there yet?"

Ning Yunmiao said: "We had a fight with the Five Spirits Demon Palace before, and we lost some supplies. Now we are at a Star Raft Market for Casual Cultivators two or three years away from the Wanjian Star Region. We will do some shopping and then set off again after we have replenished our supplies.

You guys stay in the ancient boat and don't go anywhere. Although no one dares to mess with the ancient boat of my Wanjian Star Region, if you little guys go to the deck, you may be taken away by someone. Just look at it from the window, it can also increase your experience. "

Song Yan said: "Yes, Senior Sister."
