Night without Borders

Chapter 224: The Terror of Twin Trees Village [Two Chapters in One]

The night is misty, in Shuangshu Village, a red spring is flowing, the leaves of the black and white trees are rustling in the warm wind, and outside the village are large fields of thriving crops.

"Old immortal, you are here again." At the entrance of the village, Old Man Liu was grinning. He looked honest and simple, with a ruddy face, and was eating from a porcelain bowl.

Although Cao Qianqiu is the incarnation of pure yang consciousness, he has restrained the scorching sun light and looks no different from a flesh and blood body, with shiny silver hair, slightly glowing face, and loose feathered clothes.

"Yeah." He nodded, looked at Old Man Liu, and then glanced at the old yellow dog lying at the gate of the yard. With his experience, he could easily detect that this was an old hunter in a remote area.

Old man Liu smiled and said, "Have you eaten yet? Why don't you come into the courtyard and eat something? Your complexion is getting better and better. I'm sure you will live a long life."

Cao Qianqiu glanced at him. What he pursued was immortality. Did he want him to "die young"? Except for Li Qingxu, all his disciples were over a hundred years old.

Old Liu slapped himself and said, "I'm sorry, old immortal, I said the wrong thing. I hope you will live forever."

Cao Qianqiu was strong and overbearing, but there was no need for him to argue with a village elder. He looked at the forty or so households in the night. There were blue bricks and gray tiles, and smoke rising from chimneys. They looked ordinary.

He reached out and touched the black and white trees at the entrance of the village to make sure that they were not dead trees coming back to life, but just new trees that had just grown.

Afterwards, he measured the area on foot and walked a long circle along the village. From time to time, he heard the crowing of chickens and barking of dogs, and the atmosphere of life in the remote village was very strong.

The only unusual thing was that a mutant squirrel with fur as white as red satin was practicing martial arts with a young child, and both of them were making humming and hawing sounds.

The red squirrel swung its fists, swung its legs, dodged and flicked its tail in a very professional manner, with spiritual wisdom already flowing within its body.

Cao Qianqiu captured its "thoughts" and found that it had a strong fighting spirit.

"After all the ups and downs, I will rise up, and I will also take out that person's nest in the future!" This is the belief that supports the red squirrel to improve itself and strive to move forward.

Cao Qianqiu returned to the village entrance, looked at Old Man Liu, and said, "Tell us more about the bloodstained kite incident that you experienced in your childhood."

Finally, he soared into the sky and disappeared into the dark night sky!
……

In Kunling territory, the atmosphere is very tense and the ultimate battle is about to begin.

On certain roads, veterans who are at the forefront of the field have arrived, and master-level figures have appeared, attracting the attention of countless people in the Night Fog World.

Such a grand scene has not appeared for many years.

At the same time, this also means that there is a problem on the plateau outside the third Jedi, otherwise why would it alarm the big shots from more than one road?

All universities and colleges made intensive arrangements and dispatched spacecraft to send their disciples away, and would recall them after the disturbance of this incident died down.

Shanhe Academy, the residence of Qin Ming and Xiao Wu, has fresh green bamboos, shining golden vines, and a sparkling blue lake in front of the door. The two were fishing for five-colored dragon carp, and then had a barbecue to entertain Ling Yu, Xin Youdao and several acquaintances as a farewell dinner.

"We should be reunited in Kunling soon, right?"

"It's hard to say. The atmosphere this time is not right. There are too many experts here."

During the dinner, Qin Ming gained a lot. He learned a lot from Ling Yu about the new methods researched by his master, which gave him great inspiration.

Among them, the one that interested him the most was the Tianguang Fairy Lotus.

The light of the sky is the mud, the flesh and blood are the soil, and a pure yang seed is planted, which is then sharpened into a lotus of light of consciousness on the path to immortality, and finally grows into an immortal lotus.

This is a model new method that thoroughly combines the new life path and the immortal path. It is quite extraordinary and unique.

What Qin Ming cares about is not the power of this new method, but its ability to change a person's mental temperament.

He could control his flesh and blood and change his appearance, but his mental aura was difficult to change. Now this new method provided him with a way of thinking, making it entirely possible for him to become another person.

Ling Yu introduced this method. Burying the seed of pure yang into the flesh and blood was equivalent to combining with the light of heaven. No matter what kind of technique was practiced, the spiritual aura would change accordingly.

Qin Ming was thoughtful. This did not seem to be difficult for him, because his Tianguang had already been integrating with his divine wisdom and consciousness.

He tried it on the spot, and planted the spiritual light of his accumulated consciousness that had not yet been integrated into the "soil" of flesh, blood, and celestial light.

Then he began to explore and start to practice the method.

How overbearing is his heavenly light? After being illuminated by it every day, the accumulated spiritual light of consciousness has long possessed pure yang energy and is not afraid of this kind of tempering at all.

Therefore, he skipped the difficult breeding stage that others had to go through directly without any difficulty.

Moreover, he also incorporated divine wisdom, and the effect seemed to be even better.

Ling Yu was dumbfounded. He just briefly explained it, and then saw the other party practice it successfully.

You must know that his teacher felt that this method was a bit rough, not very sophisticated, and relatively difficult to practice.

Moreover, Ling Yu himself was only in the process of progress. He had just buried the Pure Yang Seed deep in the soil of flesh, blood and heavenly light, so it was difficult for him to do anything yet.

At this moment, he was extremely shocked.

Tang Jin came and was also surprised after seeing this scene. Why was her master's new method not difficult at all in the hands of the black and white mountain boy?

Master Wu's eyes widened in shock, and he said, "There is no threshold, and he was able to master it directly? And he figured it out by himself based on the general idea."

Afterwards, Tang Jin personally taught him the specific formula and asked him to refine and perfect the new method - planting fairy lotus in heavenly light.

Qin Ming evolved on the spot, all his consciousness and spiritual light condensed in the flesh and blood and the light of the sky. A heart lotus appeared, and then condensed with the light of the sky, able to cut out an astonishing beam of light.

Inadvertently, he developed a killer move!

"This..." Tang Jin felt a little regretful. Such a genius should have been brought to her teacher at the beginning. She was naturally suitable for the new method.

Then, she frowned even more and asked, "Why does your Tianguang Xianlian have a mysterious glow and is more powerful than it should be?"

"I have also integrated the divine wisdom into it." Qin Ming said.

"Can three paths be cultivated together?!" Even Master Wu was shocked. He had heard of people who cultivated two paths at the same time, but this was the first time he encountered such a powerful person who was strong in all areas.

Qin Ming shook his head and said, "Alas, I can only take the new life path. I have been 'kidnapped'."

Even so, everyone present was stunned. They were tied up only because his Tianguang power was too overbearing.

It took them a long time to come back to their senses.

During the meal, Tang Jin remained restrained and did not ask about the news of the demon Yao Yi.

Qin Ming was quite generous and sketched out Yao Yi's appearance and showed it to them.

The Purple Eyed Crow said, "Now the outside world is going crazy. He beat Cao Qianqiu in the same field. The materials in the secret world have been sent to the desks of major sects. He is regarded as the next generation of demon god and will be targeted and studied by people from all walks of life."

"People are afraid of becoming famous just like pigs are afraid of getting fat. Becoming famous at a young age is not a good thing." Xiao Wu said. If the demon species really exists, it will be difficult for them to survive.

The others nodded as well. Without the protection of the ancestor, how could the young demon species possibly grow up? It would definitely die young.

Afterwards, the atmosphere was relaxed.

……

"We should go too!"

At Shanhe Academy, huge spaceships, one after another, set sail and flew into the night sky.

"Aren't we in the upper hand? Why are we retreating?" someone asked puzzled.

"There must be a deeper meaning behind the decision made by the university's top management." Some people looked solemn.

Qin Ming and Xiao Wu were on the same spaceship, and their destination was the neighboring dynasty - Dayu.

After boarding the spaceship, Qin Ming spent a high price to buy some more escape parachutes and shared them equally with Xiao Wu.

"Brother, is it really that serious?" Wu Yaozu looked strange. He didn't expect that Brother Ming was so afraid of death and had a severe fear of heights.

"Do you still remember how I met you? Falling from the sky!" Qin Ming sighed. He had a psychological trauma and he had fallen from the sky more than once.

Then, he smiled and said, "Didn't you say you couldn't find the way back? Don't worry at all. If it really doesn't work, take a spaceship to that area, and you can jump home in one leap."

"You know what, that's actually a good idea!" Xiao Wu nodded.

On that day, a large number of spaceships set sail and flew towards the three major dynasties: Yu, Qian and Rui.

Because Kunling is located between them, and due to the existence of many Jedi, no party dares to occupy it.

Xiao Wu looked back and said, "Why do I feel like I'm leaving for good? Alas, I just got familiar with an area, but I have to leave it again in a hurry."

The night fog was thick, and the spaceship was flying across the sky. Qin Ming and Xiao Wu entered the territory of Dayu that day. This time they did not pick "Tianhua" and other things halfway, so they went at a faster speed.

……

Under the inky night sky, Shuangshu Village was peaceful and nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

However, in the night sky, black fog was surging, and in the deep sky, Cao Qianqiu had disappeared there for a long time. There was an indescribable aura in the air, which disturbed some night birds.

Occasionally, when a more intelligent bird of prey passes by, its feathers will stand up and it will instantly change its flight path and dare not approach this area.

Some stupid birds are unaware and will fall silently if they fly into this area.

On this day, the villagers did pick up some dead birds as a snack.

In fact, this is only the area that people can see. In the place that cannot be seen, it is extremely terrifying and horrifying because Cao Qianqiu is crawling out in the black fog.

He seemed to be in an invisible tunnel.

Although he is a pure yang spirit, he looks no different from his real body and is covered in blood, which means that his pure yang spirituality is being lost.

This was his second time here, and he hit a wall again.

Moreover, this time he withdrew even faster!

I'm afraid no one could have imagined that Cao Qianqiu's face was now pale, and when he looked back, his face was twitching. He was quite fearful and even a little uneasy.

Behind him, something seemed to appear, and although it was moving slowly, it seemed to be chasing him.

His hands were curled with long hair, which was shiny black and stained with blood. It was obviously not his own hair, but was stuck to him when he was crawling in the invisible tunnel in the night fog.

He was originally a pure Yang spirit, and his palms could emit beams of light like the sun, but now, his face was gloomy and his brows were furrowed. As he walked forward in the tunnel, his five fingers were corroded and emitted white smoke, as if they were being burned. There was a movement behind him, and his face suddenly changed. The moment he turned back, his pupils shrank even more, and he rushed forward quickly.

At this moment, his face actually turned slightly pale. This kind of expression would never be seen on him on normal days. He had clearly suffered a huge loss here today!
Finally, Cao Qianqiu climbed out of the tunnel, rushed out of the night fog, and came to mid-air. He was actually staggering because he was seriously injured.

One of his feet seemed to have kicked a strange golden plate, and the toes of the pure yang spirit were broken and covered in blood.

In addition, he had a rusty spear stuck in his body, which made his steps unsteady and he did not pull it out immediately, but chose to rush away.

“Old immortal, you can really fly!” Below, beside the fire spring in Shuangshu Village, old man Liu screamed in surprise.

At this moment, Cao Qianqiu looked at him deeply, without stopping or attacking anyone, and flew away in the night sky like a strange bird.

He did not hold up the bloody sun, his body just glowed slightly. He was much more low-key than when he came, and he was in a hurry, as if he was fleeing!

"The old immortal seems to be bleeding. Why does he look like a bloody kite?" Old Man Liu looked out from behind.

"Uncle Liu, look, the fire spring is brighter again." said the village chief Xu Yueping.

The fire spring gushed out and flowed into the fire field outside the village, nourishing all the crops, turning them bright red.

Old Man Liu said, "Last time, it was also because of his arrival that our fire spring became more active. If it continues like this, it will soon become a level 2 fire spring."

"That person is truly a god. I never thought I would see someone who can fly in my lifetime!" Xu Yueping exclaimed, looking in awe at the direction where Lao Cao left.

"But... the gods are bleeding!" Yang Yongqing said in a trembling voice, full of fear, looking at the night sky. It turned out that what Old Liu said about the blood-stained kite incident in his early years was true.

……

Cao Qianqiu flew away, but he always felt that there was something chasing him from behind, but he could not see it or touch it. It was not until he was three thousand miles away that the throbbing and uneasiness in his heart gradually disappeared.

At this moment, his face turned gloomy. The injury he suffered today was even worse than last time. His foot was really broken. If this were to get out, the old guys on the road would definitely laugh to death!

"Ah, Senior Cao!" someone exclaimed.

In fact, Cao Qianqiu had already sensed that there was someone in the distance.

His expression was indifferent. He pointed a finger, and with a bang, a beam of blood shot out. Suddenly, a beam of pure yang consciousness exploded.

Obviously, he was also a master who could travel with his spiritual consciousness. He was definitely a well-known figure, but he was killed instantly by him.

He looked indifferent, he was injured and didn't want anyone to know.

Soon, he began to heal his wounds. There was an inexplicable energy entangled in his body, which made him very annoyed. He couldn't get rid of it for the time being, but as for his appearance, he seemed to have recovered.

It was at this moment that he pulled out the rusty spear and held it in his hand. It was not until this moment that he gradually began to smile.

This spear is invaluable!
However, when he thought of that area, his face turned grim again. All the experiences made him angry and depressed, and he wanted to go back immediately and fight again.

Cao Qianqiu gathered his thoughts and became cold and tough again. His sleeves were no longer torn and pure yang light shone through his body.

When he set out on the road again, he was like a blood-red sun across the sky, illuminating everything, and heading straight towards Kunling City 20,000 miles away.

"Hiss, Cao Qianqiu is back again. He has returned from Black and White Mountain. This time he is very high-profile. Is he seeking revenge?!"

Along the way, when he passed by some cities, he flew away without disguising himself, shaking the vast night sky. The thick night fog was violently swirling and was burned away.

For a moment, the bloody sun hung high in the sky, illuminating the road.

However, when he passed by a desert, his pure yang consciousness suddenly went out, and Lao Cao fell suddenly and hit the ground.

With a bang, a huge deep pit appeared.

Cao Qianqiu was immediately furious. How could he fall into the air? This shouldn't have happened to a pure Yang spirit.

"Is it because of the desert? Even if it is, it shouldn't be like this!" He thrust the rusty spear into the ground.

However, in the end, he staggered out of the desert, his face as gloomy as water. Countless bizarre scenes appeared in his consciousness and eroded his mind.

It was not until he ran thousands of miles on the ground that he got rid of this state.

Cao Qianqiu set out on the road again, still using the light of his consciousness to illuminate the night sky.

After flying for thousands of miles again, he suddenly fell into a pitch-black abyss. He felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, feeling the chill to his bones.

In a place like this, even he felt a little apprehensive.

In the end, he had a piece of pure yang flesh and blood grabbed by a skinny claw in an illusory state.

"What happened? Cao Qianqiu was traveling, and his pure Yang consciousness aura was 'extinguished' several times during the journey. It disappeared inexplicably. Is there something wrong?"

Naturally, countless people were paying attention to him along the way. After gathering the information, people were surprised to find that Lao Cao had "fallen into the air" and almost had an accident in some special areas.

Cao Qianqiu was furious. He seemed to be possessed by bad luck. He fell into the air five times in a row. Moreover, each time was more serious than the last. He encountered something inexplicable and his life was threatened.

When he was very young, his master once told him that when traveling in the night fog world, no matter how high your cultivation level is, even if your achievements are as great as those of nature, you cannot be too high-profile, otherwise something bad will definitely happen.

Cao Qianqiu always kept his master's instructions in mind. However, when he reached the top, he thought that nothing could threaten him. As long as he did not venture into special places or enter the depths of the night fog world, he could travel freely on the earth under the endless night.

However, today he was educated again and again, which reminded him of his master again.

The old man who pioneered the road back then eventually returned to his soul in the night fog, his death unclear.

Cao Qianqiu still didn't believe it, so he set off again. Ahead of him, there was a thick night fog. It was originally an ordinary place, but today he felt terrified here.

In the night fog, an old wooden house stood there quietly and deadly, causing him to fall into the air. He was inexplicably wrapped in a strange mist and dragged into the house.

"Too deceiving!"

Cao Qianqiu was angry. He had experienced more air crashes in that day than in his entire life, and he was often caught in inexplicable crises.

There was a lot of noise in the old wooden house. Finally, Cao Qianqiu used a rusty spear to tear open the doors and windows, and then rushed out, with Chunyang blood constantly flowing.

This time, he was seriously injured.

"Senior Cao seems to have fallen again and experienced an inexplicable dangerous incident."

Along the way, someone said in shock.

Because Cao Qianqiu was traveling in a high-profile manner, every time the bloody sun went out, something must have happened, but people could see it from afar and even feel the fluctuations of his angry consciousness.

"It is normal that the essence of the night fog world cannot be fully understood. If it were understood by people, it would be abnormal." An elder said.

Some people even said bluntly: "Even if a master-level figure is on the road, he must keep a low profile, otherwise something bad will happen!"

When Cao Qianqiu fell into the air for the eighth time, his face turned pale, because this time he landed in a dense forest, a place he knew.

After his master inexplicably passed away in the night fog and his body was never found, he built many cenotaphs in various places, and this was one of them.

The old tombs were all covered with weeds and had even collapsed and become level with the ground, but he still recognized it at a glance. He had fallen at the original location of the ancient tomb.

This time, Cao Qianqiu did not feel any danger, but he was even more fearful. It seemed that some unknown force was entangled with him.

Could it be that he had not yet escaped the influence of the Black and White Mountains? However, he had already escaped 15,000 miles!
The tenth time, when he was traveling in the night sky, he inexplicably encountered a meteorite wrapped in light from outer space, which hit him. If it were any other master, he would have exploded.

After all, this huge meteorite plus the extraterrestrial light are enough to drill through the earth and cause it to sink on a large scale.

However, Lao Cao held on. His pure yang spirit was shattered and then quickly reassembled. He was furious and horrified. Everything was out of his control.

He wondered if this misfortune would last forever.

Cao Qianqiu is conceited and stubborn. Even after his temper flared up, he still did not change and started on his high-profile journey again.

When he passed by a rumored underworld, something unexpected happened again. It was said that some divine creature died here and turned into cold underworld soil.

Cao Qianqiu was torn apart by an unknown force and dragged underground.

He fought here for most of the day before he could see the night fog world again. At this time, he was covered with wounds, and the light of his pure yang consciousness was dim.

After Lao Cao fell thirteen times in a row, he finally stopped. He no longer traveled with the blazing sun across the sky, but flew towards the Kunling area in a low-key manner.

During the last thousands of miles of the journey, Cao Qianqiu encountered no more accidents. The journey was smooth and peaceful. He was silent. Had he been taught a lesson by the night fog world?

Or was it that he was attacked in the area of ​​Black and White Mountains, and only gradually got rid of the influence after escaping 18,000 miles?

Cao Qianqiu finally arrived in Kunling City in a low-key manner, sparking heated discussions.

"Did you have an accident on the road?" Sun Taichu came in person after hearing the news and asked in a serious manner.

"I almost died!" Cao Qianqiu said in a deep voice. He was extremely dissatisfied. The journey was really too hard. He was just rushing on the road, but accidents happened again and again.

Sun Taichu said: "The Night Fog World is vast and boundless, with too many unknowns and mysteries. There are some things that even we cannot see clearly. Don't be too superstitious about the power at hand!"

……

Dayu, Qionghua City, is extremely prosperous, with busy streets.

"Boss, your business is really good. The food is so unique." Xiao Wu praised and stopped in front of a stall. There were all kinds of rock sugar spiritual fruits and bear paws. He shouted, "Give me a string of rock sugar turtles."

"This is pickled with honey, it's called turtle honey!" the boss corrected.

After a while, Qin Ming and Xiao Wu each gnawed on a string of candied turtles and began to familiarize themselves with the city. After all, they might have to live here for a while.

Two days later, a piece of news came like a huge explosion, breaking the tranquility of Qionghua City and stirring up huge waves in the entire night fog world.

The ancestors of various paths took action in Kunling territory, and broke into that plateau. The ground sank and even the third Jedi seemed to be flattened.

However, there has been no follow-up since then.

The entire Kunling area seemed to be plunged into complete silence, and the thick night covered all areas.

On that day, many experts went in to explore, and there seemed to be blood, and none of them returned.

The land of Kunling was completely quiet and silent, while the entire night fog world was boiling!
