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

Chapter 230 229. Forbidden Ancient Scroll, Arrived at the Sword Palace (5.3K words - Please subscribe)
Inside the ancient boat, there was silence. The crosswind from the void hit the boat, bringing a loud noise that made people feel as if they were in the raging sea. The disappearance of three of the nine cranes made the ancient boat's voyage no longer stable.

During the bumpy ride, Song Yan stared at the Star Raft Market that was getting farther and farther away.

His mind flashed with the image of the gates of hell opening and bones dragging people out, and then he also flashed with the image of a terrifying monster swallowing up the sky and devouring the city.

All kinds of horrible scenes appeared and disappeared, coming quickly and going even faster, and he was completely unable to see clearly how all this happened.

Song Yan stared out the window in a trance.

Farther away, six black cranes were obviously shocked and were fleeing in panic, while the three severed chains were dancing wildly backwards in the empty wind, occasionally hitting the solid wall on the side of the boat, making a "click-click" sound.

This sound made the quietness, deathly silence and creepiness in the cabin even more apparent.

In Song Yan's eyes, this distant darkness was no longer empty, but became crowded and creepy.

Being invisible does not mean it does not exist. Instead, it means that one may be unable to detect a crisis due to lack of ability or weakness.

The invisible starry sky evil spirit is hiding in this "invisible"
It's there!

Maybe it has always been there!
It may pop up anywhere at any time!

Song Yan was not afraid as he had seen life and death many times before, but his whole body was tense and his mind was full of thoughts about the disaster he had just witnessed in the downtown area.

Suddenly, Hua Linglong's voice came to his ears.

"Pity."

Song Yan found the voice quite pleasant to hear in this situation, so he asked, "Are you still thinking about the stone slab?"

"Yes." Hua Linglong replied frankly, and then said, "Brother Song, we are really at a disadvantage for not knowing how to read. The words just now must contain some kind of strange charm, which needs to be understood by looking at the words. Look, we saw the words, but did not understand their meaning, so naturally there is no way to understand the charm. Alas."

Song Yan said: "Let's learn it after we go to the Sword Palace."

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice suddenly fell from the sky.

"Junior brother, have you never learned the Starry Sky Language?"

Song Yan stood up in a hurry and saluted, saying, "Senior sister, we all came from the marginal world. We have not only never learned this starry sky language, but we have never seen it before."

After saying that, he suddenly realized something, slapped his head, and said, "Oh, right, Senior Sister. Just now when we were on the boat, we saw a flying black slate outside through the window. There were some strange words on the slate, but it was a pity that they disappeared as quickly as they appeared. Haha, we were just regretting that we didn't understand those words, so we talked about this star text."

"Black slate?"

brush!
The middle-aged female cultivator floated down and appeared beside Song Yan, saying, "Junior brother, do you still remember the words on the stone tablet?"

Song Yan said: "Of course I remember."

Immediately, his spiritual consciousness moved slightly, and the mysterious energy in the cabin condensed, forming the words that appeared on the stone slab.

Ning Yunmiao raised her eyes and looked at the words quietly, reading them softly.

“When the gates of hell open, don’t disbelieve it.

The door is cracked, giving you a glimpse into the underworld.

Skeleton hands indicate a happy fate.

Before the hand arrives, the soul is already frozen. "

After finishing reading, Ning Yunmiao also revealed a somewhat solemn expression, then he raised his hand and waved it, and the words in the mysterious energy were instantly destroyed.

"It's a deceptive and evil practice! I thought it was a star disaster, but now it seems to be a man-made disaster. When I return this time, I will report it to the sect and investigate the matter!"

pat.

patter
pat pat
The strange black stone slab rolled on the dense earth. Its weight in the void was like a ball of waste paper, flying up and down in the windy streets.

A green-armored poison cultivator who was hiding in a hidden formation suddenly looked up at the stone slab flying overhead, his eyes gleaming with brilliance. He raised his hand and grabbed the black stone slab, muttering, "It seems a bit mysterious. I think it flew out of a ruined shop. The ghost gate is open, don't you believe it? The door is cracked and you can see into the underworld. Hmm, is there some kind of skill hidden in it?"

After a brief observation, he felt that the text was mysterious and he could not understand it for a while, so he said with joy: "Sure enough, the place of disaster is the place of opportunity."

As he was speaking, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

He quickly glanced down and saw that the center of the formation under his butt had turned into a deep black pool at some point, and below it was a pale white palm that was rapidly expanding like a spiral and rising up.

The hand twisted, climbed, intertwined, and overlapped, like a terrifying dahlia.

The green-armored monk wanted to escape, but it was too late.

Those hands quickly grabbed his legs, waist, arms, and neck, entangled his body, and fixed his soul.
The hands became more and more numerous and denser. The green-armored poison cultivator struggled frantically, but no matter what strength he used, he could not slow down the speed of those hands.

Soon, the hands wrapped around him, and the pale, bony hands tightly grasped every part of his body.

The poison cultivator was held by the white hands all over his body, and his struggle gradually slowed down.
Only a pair of eyes filled with extreme fear were left staring outside in despair.

But, the next moment, those eyes were also submerged by the white hands that came from behind.

puff!
The green-armored poison cultivator was dragged into the deep black pool.

"When the gate of hell opens, believe it. When the gate cracks, peer into the netherworld. The white bone hand is a sign of happiness. Before the hand arrives, the soul has already solidified."

Hua Linglong murmured with a look of regret, "It's so weird, it's better not to understand! Fortunately, we don't recognize the starry sky text, otherwise it would really be a stain on our eyes!"

Although she said so, she secretly sent a message to Song Yan, saying sadly: "Brother Song, it's such a pity, this technique looks very powerful. If we can recognize the starry sky text, understand the charm of it according to the content, learn the technique quietly, and then spit it out, that would be better. Alas, now, we have missed a great opportunity.

I am so stupid. I have seen similar texts when I was exploring the void ruins, but I just thought that these texts were temporarily useless and gave up. I should have studied them more. I am so stupid."

Song Yan glanced at Hua Linglong. He naturally knew that Hua Linglong had also smelled the righteous aura of "Tianqi Sword Palace", so she began to spit on evil, but whispering to him meant that she was getting close to him, so he comforted her: "More trouble may not be a good thing. If you really understand the stone tablet, it may not be a blessing."

If you can't eat grapes, of course you say they are sour.

In fact, he also wanted to take a look.

After all, this stone tablet is obviously related to the scene of "the gates of hell open and the white bones captivate people".

Even if you don't learn it, it's good to have a few in case of emergency.

Song Yan's heart suddenly moved, and he asked through his mind: "Linglong, is the "Law of Dragon Burial" yours, or did the Emperor do it on purpose?"

Hua Linglong recalled: "I found it in the void and kept it in the hands of Shan Shi. Later, the emperor deliberately thought that this skill would allow you to kill the Heavenly Demon Dragon for him, so he gave it to you.

Perhaps, he knew that this technique could not be practiced, so he specially added some sweetness in the beginning to let you taste it first, but, how could Brother Song be fooled. "

Song Yan was stunned and asked, "Did you really find it from the void?"

Hua Linglong said: "To be precise, it is deep in the void ruins of the ancient times."

She recalled briefly and continued, "Now it seems that at that time, the Level 5 Xuan Xiu Land next door had just been completely destroyed, otherwise I would not have seen the Land of the Underworld just leave."

Song Yan said: "Do you know more about the "Law of Dragon Burial"? "

Hua Linglong said: "This method is too weird, and the resources required are impossible to obtain, so I gave it to Shanshi, hoping that she would have a chance to figure it out. But the Emperor deliberately gave it to you through Shanshi, hoping to kill the dragon with a borrowed knife. As for the rest, I don't know much.

However, now it seems that copying the inscriptions on dragon tombs and the inscription-eating syndrome mentioned in "The Law of Dragon Burial" might also be a method of practicing the writing of the Lesser Heavenly Dao.

It has survived in the ruins of the fifth-level Xuan Xiu land and there must be a story behind it.

Brother Song, this "Law of Dragon Burial" may be our chance.

We might as well enter the Tianqi Sword Palace first. We can't tell whether this sword palace is good or evil, and we can't tell whether it treats us well or badly. With this technique as a backup, we will always have another way out."

Song Yan coughed lightly and stopped transmitting his thoughts. Instead, he said, "Linglong, how can you covet such evil magic? Now that you have entered the Sword Palace, you should concentrate on asking questions about the sword. Can't you see through the past? It's time to turn back! Stop it, Linglong!"

Hua Linglong: ?????
She looked at Song Yan in astonishment as he suddenly took out a jade slip and headed towards the control layer on the top floor of the ancient boat.

Flower Linglong:
"Brother Song, you."

After saying that, Hua Linglong sighed softly, looking thoughtful, and then said with shame: "Maybe Brother Song is right, the past should be put aside."

Ancient boat control layer.

Song Yan respectfully handed over the jade slip that recorded the "Dragon Burial Law" and said, "Sister, I found this jade slip accidentally in my original world. It was extremely rare. But after I drank the soup that you gave me that day, my mind became clear and I felt that this thing was filthy, so I wanted to throw it away.

But, I thought of the Bitter Sea Dragon Skeleton and the Sky Dragon Corpse, and felt that this tablet might have some unclear relationship with the dragon, and it should be of some use to my Tianqi Sword Palace, so... oh... I'm sorry for letting Senior Sister pollute my eyes."

Reacher glanced at him with a half-smile.

Ning Yunmiao took the jade slip and scanned it with his spiritual sense. His face changed with anger and he said, "Evil thing!"

After saying that, she passed it to Lei Che who was standing next to her.

Lei Che took it and looked at it. Xiao Xiao's expression suddenly became serious, and he asked in a deep voice: "Song Yan, where did you get this?"

Song Yan told the whole story that the jade slip came from the ruins of the fifth-level Xiuxuan land.

Ning Yunmiao frowned and said, "The female cultivator you protected so well actually wants to practice this method?"

Song Yan said: "I beg you, Senior Sister, to give her a bowl of soup so that she can change her ways."

Ning Yunmiao thought about it, raised his hand and waved out a light spot, which contained a bowl of "Nine Nether Blood Lotus Soup".

Song Yan took it, thanked him, and then asked curiously: "Senior Sister, what exactly is this evil thing?"

Ning Yunmiao stood up and stood in front of the void.

She was extremely powerful, but she was wearing linen clothes and straw sandals. As for her ordinary appearance, Song Yan was sure that it was intentional. After all, she could change the world, so her appearance could be whatever she wanted. She was ordinary, but Ning Yunmiao deliberately made herself ugly, not wanting to show her "beauty". Song Yan followed naturally.

Ning Yunmiao said: "The Small Heavenly Dao Characters actually have another name, called .箓.

The practice of "The Law of Dragon Burial" should be a forbidden talisman.

Some people say that there is a connection between star disasters and forbidden talismans.

In short, this kind of thing harms others and yourself, and it is unlucky to come into contact with it. "

"Lian?"

Song Yan nodded slowly and said, "Senior Sister, I have learned your lesson."

Ning Yunmiao suddenly said in a stern voice: "If I ever find out that you are secretly practicing these evil things, no matter where you run to, I will personally kill you!"

Song Yan was stunned and looked at Ning Yunmiao in astonishment.

No one had ever said this to him.

He felt a strange and complicated feeling in his heart, then bowed and said deeply: "Junior brother, I will never touch these things."

Ning Yunmiao's expression softened, and he raised his hand and took out another jade slip, handing it out, saying, "We will arrive at the sect soon. Junior brother, please read this jade slip first and learn some Starry Sky Text. This will save you some time."

"Thank you, senior sister."

Song Yan bowed again and turned to leave.

Practice cabin.

Song Yan pointed to the bowl of "Nine Nether Blood Lotus Soup" and said, "Drink it, it will cleanse your inner demons."

Hua Linglong stared at the thick porridge, said "thank you", then took a deep breath, walked forward, drank the soup quickly, and then sat cross-legged.

These days she has understood one thing: she must purify herself before she has a chance to truly join the Tianqi Sword Palace.

Although she was afraid, she had to drink the soup.

Sure enough, not long after, she began to frown, as if she was enduring it hard.

After a while, her eyes opened wide, and the pitiful look of a little woman disappeared instantly. Her eyes became bloodthirsty and gloomy, with the unique sense of superiority of a hunter, and a silver bell-like laughter rang out.

"Stop struggling and just be my slave."

“Die! Die! All of you die, ahahahahahaha!”

"You all should be proud that you can contribute to my refining of this treasure."

"Resist?"

"I felt a little guilty at first, but now it seems pointless!"

"Dead, hehe, guilt or something, I'm lying to you, idiot."

"Justice means the constraints of rules, which can only make people weak. I abandoned this thing a long time ago."

For a long time.
Hua Linglong's eyes regained clarity, and they became deeper. The original ray of light completely disappeared, and turned into pure cold darkness. She suddenly remembered something, her eyes wrinkled, tears flowed down, and then she clenched her fists and said: "I am deeply sinful. What did I do in the past? I..."

As she was talking, she stopped and looked up at Song Yan who was not far away.

A sigh sounded in her mind.

"Forget it, I'll think of a solution later."

Manipulate layers.

Lei Che glanced at Ning Yunmiao.

The latter was closing his eyes in disgust, as if he had seen something extremely filthy.

Reacher smiled.

Ning Yunmiao said: "You are actually pretending, you are hopeless!"

Lei Che said: "Birds of a feather flock together, and things of a feather flock together"

Ning Yunmiao frowned and asked, "Does Song Yan have a grudge against you?"

Lei Che asked back: "Do you have a karmic relationship with him?"

Ning Yunmiao said, "Grandpa has distributed so many Ascension Orders, but after so many years, not a single one has been able to reach the Vast Sea Region with an Order. Do you think there is a karmic connection between him and me?"

Lei Che said in a deep voice: "Because of this, this boy is not simple. He is definitely not what he seems on the surface. At least Hua Linglong has already lost to him. As for the emperor's intention..."

He paused for a moment and said, "He is quite a tough character."

These days, the two watched the performances of Hua Linglong and Di Cunxin at the same time.

Hua Linglong took the "Nine Nether Blood Lotus Soup", and ended up revealing her ugly appearance. Her pure evil nature at the last moment was clearly seen by Lei Che and Ning Yunmiao.

The inner demon is the inner demon. Evil is the inner demon, and good can also be the inner demon.

Hua Linglong is the type who gave up kindness and thus embarked more firmly on the path of evil cultivation.

As for the Emperor, he would rather die than drink the "Nine Nether Blood Lotus Soup", but instead took the "Inferior Soul Cleansing Nirvana Pill" and "Source Purification Pill" that he had exchanged from the Star Raft Market, and endured the intense pain. Now he has forcibly eliminated his past evil and allowed his soul to be initially repaired, thus meeting the entry standards of the Tianqi Sword Palace.

Three years later.
Wanjian Star Region
Vast sea area.

The six-crane empty boat slowly descended.

The vast ocean is the desert.

Before, when Song Yan heard the mysterious old man talk about the "Tianqi Sword Palace in the Vast Sea Region", he simply thought that it was a more powerful place for cultivation, and the environment was a large desert, and there were more powerful monsters and dangers in the desert.

But now, he realized how wrong he was.

Not only him, Hua Linglong also looked down at the unbelievable scene below her feet with her beautiful eyes wide open, like a country bumpkin entering the city.

Although the vast sea is a desert, the sand here is not all sand. A considerable part of it is a secret place.

There are mountains in this desert, but those mountains are not mountains, but the heaven and earth.

Every grain of sand reveals a secret place; every mountain reveals a world of its own!

Looking around, it seems endless.

The secret realms, heavens and earth in it are simply innumerable.

Just like when humans who believed in the geocentric theory first glimpsed the vast universe and saw the stars as numerous as the grains of sand in the Ganges, they originally thought that the earth beneath their feet was everything, but in fact, it was just an extremely tiny grain of sand.

At that moment, at this moment.

At this moment, Song Yan's heart was filled with shock.

Ning Yunmiao glanced at him and said, "Junior brother, your life secret realm can be stored inside the sect, and it does not need to be exposed to the outside like these secret realms in the wild.

The sect has sufficient mysterious energy and abundant resources. The secret realms can be connected to each other, and you can also go to other worlds through teleportation arrays.

There are countless mortal worlds and countless small sects in the world, which constitute an extremely large world.

Those who have a karmic connection with the junior brother only need to practice peacefully, and they will have a chance to leave the secret realm in the future."

Song Yan tilted his head, with an expression of shock that could not be concealed. He looked at Ning Yunmiao and said, "Senior Sister, why? Why did Elder Ning give me the Immortal Order?"

Ning Yunmiao smiled and said, "Do you think you are unique?"

Song Yan shook his head and said, "How is that possible?"

Ning Yunmiao put away her smile and said word by word: "You are wrong, you are unique."

These abrupt and straightforward words exploded like thunder in front of Song Yan!

His heart skipped a beat, his hair stood on end, his hands and feet felt cold, and he was so frightened that he almost drew his sword and fought to the death.

It is easier to know a person’s face than to know his heart; there is thunder hidden in silence.

He had already prepared himself to explode at any time and die together with others.

However, before he drew his sword, Ning Yunmiao smiled and said, "My grandfather likes to travel the starry sky and visit friends far away. If he feels that he has a connection with someone, he will give out the Ascension Order regardless of the realm.

Those places are far away from the Wanjian Star Region and are mostly barren. As a result, after so many years, no one has been able to come here. Do you think you are unique?"

Song Yan froze his hand in mid-air as he prepared to draw his sword, then he patted his chest naturally and said, "I'm really excited to receive such praise from Senior Sister."

Ning Yunmiao smiled and said, "Junior brother, the character of the female cultivator you brought here does not meet the requirements of our sect. You can either take her into the secret realm and let her concentrate on cultivation, but she must abide by the sect's rules and regulations and not act recklessly. Or, I will give her some resources and let her go to the vast sea to seek opportunities on her own."

Song Yan said: "I'll talk to her."

Hey!
The Six Cranes Ancient Boat landed on a spacious stone platform.

Ning Yunmiao said: "I will wait for you for an incense stick of time."
