Forge your destiny into a sword, slash your soul and ascend to immortality

Chapter 66 It’s all a plan
This sword strike certainly caused Qing Xingdeng to suffer more injuries, but it also made him face the choice between life and death.

Without hesitation, he used the last trump card that every [Life Extension] master would use when facing a life-or-death situation.

That is to burn your lifespan in exchange for powerful magic power!

[Qing Xingdeng] was born in the powerful Divine Dynasty [Jingyun Shrine], and is a true disciple of the [Zhaixing] lineage.

He condensed the perfect Dharma image, and when he was promoted, he refined the purple pupil [lifespan], which could increase his lifespan by one day and two seconds every day.

Including various elixirs and secret methods for prolonging life, he has accumulated a rich lifespan of nearly three hundred years.

When he burned his lifespan, a powerful life force suddenly burst out, like a surging tide, instantly drowning the injuries caused by Jing Qian!
Although he was fatally injured, he recovered quickly under the nourishment of this vital energy.

At the same time, he transformed into a blood-red light and fled towards the north at a high speed.

[Qingxuandeng]'s lifespan was being consumed at a rapid rate, and the strand of black hair on top of his head had begun to slowly fade and turn yellow.

He did not want to fight any longer, but just flew away with all his strength. His condition was too bad, and he just wanted to escape as soon as possible.

And in the deep sea below him, there was also a figure, following closely behind him at a speed that was no less than his escape light.

Jing Qian still hasn't given up on hunting down Qing Xingdeng!

Even though the opponent's injuries have recovered a little, the loss of Dharma image and [Spiritual Inspiration] still cannot make up for his lost combat power.

Jingqian did not lose the possibility of winning.

With the [Sumeru] destiny, he always has a way to retreat and take the initiative, which gives him strong confidence.

The two of them chased and fled, traveling all the way through the vast blue sea.

Using a ninth-grade to hunt down a seventh-grade one is truly a reversal of offense and defense, turning the tide in Tiangang's favor!

However, as time goes by, Jingqian's probability of success is gradually decreasing.

The [Qingxuandeng], which is flying, is trying its best to adjust its own magic power and reshape its own Dharma image.

He only needs to initially condense the Dharma image, and all his life and longevity skills will come back.

Then, it will be his chance to turn around and kill Jing Qian!
At this moment, a clear and pleasant bird song suddenly came from the sky, entering the eardrums of Qingxingdeng and Jingqian.

Jing Qian felt that something was wrong, so he decisively gave up the pursuit and escaped into the void.

The [Green Lantern] had nowhere to hide and fell into the sea.

But then he saw a beam of emerald light falling directly on his shoulder, freezing him in the air and making him unable to move.

The escaping light took the form of a graceful divine bird with red feet and a white beak.

The divine bird is only two feet long, but it exudes a profound magical aura.

However, the [Green Lantern] that it stepped on was completely unable to struggle and stood blankly in the air.

I only heard [Qingxuandeng] shout angrily:

"Zhushou, let me go, what are you doing?"

"I am the master of Life Island. Can you kill me?"

However, the divine bird did not answer. Instead, it opened its beak and spit out a thick crimson-purple [Life Fire].

The raging [Life Fire] fell straight down, burning [Qing Xingdeng]'s body fiercely, burning his skin and flesh, and making him scream wildly!
"Zhu Shou, you are seeking death!"

"My sect will never let you go!"

But the divine bird didn't care and just spit out one [Life Fire] after another, burning the [Green Lantern].

"Ahhhh!"

The unprepared [Life Fire] burned his body and almost burned the [Green Lantern] to ashes!
This purple [Life Fire] comes from the sixth-grade [Life Stove] in the [Hunzhou] government office, and can be regarded as the strongest [Life Fire] in [Hunzhou].

Naturally, it also has the strongest magical effect and power.

In the [Life Fire], the body of [Qing Xingdeng] gradually crystallized, and his flesh, blood, soul and magic power were refined into a three-inch long glazed green lamp.

Then, the divine bird twisted its magic power into a thin rope, threaded the green lamp around its neck, and flew high.

In the other dimension, Jing Qian was hiding in the dark and watching. He saw clearly that the [Qing Xingdeng] was burned to death. [Shijie Jie] captured new information from the lamp:

【Inspiration: Retreating Sea Lights】

[Requirements for suppression: Appearance of gods and ghosts, appearance of spiritual treasures]

【Life span burden: 2 ke/day】

The identity of the divine bird is naturally self-evident.

At the Hunzhou government office, the owner of the maritime affairs office celebrated his birthday by condensing the [Jingwei] Dharma image, crossing the vast sea, killing the [Qingxingdeng], and refining it into a [Lingji], which he took for himself.

From then on, Zhu Shou also had a ladder to ascend to the realm of [Fu Ling], and he no longer had to let Ling Mingji take the lead.

……

On [Suorishikijima], the reconstruction of [Sutanuki Shrine] has been completed.

However, the temple has changed greatly in shape after reconstruction, and even the gods enshrined in it are completely different.

The once agile civet cat has disappeared, replaced by a giant golden toad that is two meters tall.

This golden toad is exactly the same as the golden toad in the small temple at the end of Hunzhou Sea City, except that it is a little bigger.

In front of the golden toad stood two people, one of whom was Li Ji, the civil affairs manager of Fanghai City.

Standing in front of him was his immediate superior, Li Yuan, the owner of the civil house who had condensed the [Six-Life Golden Toad] Dharma image.

Li Yuan then said:
"Li Ji, this [Life Island] is now in your hands. I have filled the [Life Stove] with the [Python Ointment] from the [Li Long], which is enough to last for two hundred years."

"You must seize this opportunity, determine your [Lifespan] as soon as possible, and advance to [Life Extension]."

"This time, Zhu Shou's calculation went wrong, and it actually caused the sinking of [Jiangzhu Island]. However, as for our civil house, it was completely unharmed."

"This [Qishishi Island] was originally intended to be ours. Just focus on running it well. The Civil Affairs Department will give you the greatest support!"

Li Ji bowed deeply and said:
"Yes, my lord!"

Two dogs fight, play off.

The competition between [Qishishi Island] and [Jiangzhu Island] can be described as a lose-lose situation. Everything behind it is a calculation!

Jing Qian hid in the dimension and witnessed with his own eyes the entire process of Zhu Shou refining the [Green Lantern] into [Spiritual Machine].

Besides being shocked, I also gained a deeper understanding of the situation in [Hunzhou].

Under the control of the government office, everything that exists is subject to laws and rules.

But beneath the water, the struggle between them is life-and-death and extremely dangerous.

Even if one is as strong as the [Yanshou] monk, who controls [Spiritual Power], controls [Life Island], and even has a powerful master background, he still cannot guarantee his own safety.

Who would have thought that the dignified [Longevity Extension] was nothing more than a precious material for refining weapons in the eyes of the homeowner!

And in Jingqian's previous life, the reality was the same.

When a person's power or wealth exceeds a certain limit, ordinary rules, or even laws, cannot restrain him.

Even the most popular stars may become their playthings.

However, in this world where great power belongs to oneself, everything is more obvious and intuitive.

If one lacks strength, all external additions are illusory.

Jing Qian couldn't help but have a stronger desire to improve his strength!
Within the life monument space, he looked at the soul of [Qing Xingdeng] outside the safe zone, and for a moment he was quite touched.

This immortal has been a sharp sword hanging over his head since his rebirth, and was once the biggest threat to his life.

But now, the other party died in front of him in such a dramatic way.

Judging from his cultivation alone, the other party has undoubtedly surpassed the crocodile dragon and become the strongest among his food.

The knowledge and information in his mind are undoubtedly priceless!
It can be predicted that he will have to get along well with the other party for a long time in the future.

Next to Qingxuandeng, the crocodile dragon's aura was less than 30% of its peak.

In the past three months, Jing Qian has been working day and night, fighting every night. It is only a matter of time before he completely kills the crocodile dragon.

He could say with great confidence that his experience in killing people of higher levels was absolutely the best in [Hunzhou].

And these valuable experiences will be converted into his spiritual accumulation.

Jing Qian jumped out of the [virtual world], dived into the ocean, and rushed towards the distance.

While his cultivation had certainly grown considerably during his trip to [Hunzhou Island], the broadening of his horizons had opened his eyes to a more realistic world. He desperately needed a break, so he might as well return!
It has been delayed for so long that the Jing Building in Haishi might have been completely built and is just waiting for him to return and open for sale.

[Wave] With his destiny and magic power fully activated, he rushed towards the north.

Although several months had passed and Su Min'er might not be there anymore, dead or alive, he still had to go back and take a look to feel at ease.

It is still 100,000 miles to [Jiangzhu Island], but his speed in the sea is more than five times faster than in the dimensional void. If he swims faster, he can arrive within ten days.

Traveling ten thousand miles a day was a speed that ordinary [Dragon Elephant] cultivators couldn't even imagine.

When Jing Qian entered this new sea area, he suddenly found countless sea brothers whom he had never met before.

He visited each of their homes, eating and taking things with him.

The joy of harvest cannot be told to outsiders!
Killing and burning all the way, the ninth-grade [White Fang] mermaid was blown away like rain and wind!
The effect is naturally extremely significant:

[Wave] (Purple Eyes 1.7/10)!
Even though it delayed him for a while, as his [Wave] destiny continued to be recast, his swimming speed became faster and faster.

However, for some reason, as he continued to advance, the number of sirens was decreasing rapidly.

In the past few days, I could meet a good friend and give him some gifts every few hundred miles.

But later on, the frequency of sirens' appearances dropped significantly, to the point where they almost disappeared completely.

At first, Jing Qian thought that someone was passing on the message behind his back, but when the boundless sky above the sea began to gradually change color, he finally realized that the Yin Year had arrived!
Jing Qian's expression instantly became solemn. He stopped wandering around and swam straight towards [Jiangzhu Island].

The so-called Yin year is a unique astronomical phenomenon in this world, and the reason behind it is unknown.

But the horror of this Yin Year, whether recorded in the Jing family's inheritance or described in A Bao's Ten Days Talk, is still fresh in his memory.

On this vast ocean, most of the time, there is a peaceful and stable scene.

The sun rises and the moon sets, clouds appear and disappear, and there is occasional drizzle and breeze, which are also common changes and not worth mentioning.

These normal years are called Yang years.

Correspondingly, a Yin year will come every four or five years at the least, and seven or eight years at the most.

During this year, the sun and moon do not appear, day and night cannot be distinguished, grass does not grow, and livestock cannot breed.

The entire vast ocean will be shrouded in an invisible haze, and the sky will become dark and dreary for a whole year.

Under this haze that obscures the sun and moon, the tidal force changes dramatically, and the entire ocean will be swept by endless waves that will last all year round.

Terrifying waves of hundreds or even thousands of meters will block almost all maritime shipping.

Only the bravest and strongest sailors can sail in the Yin year.

What’s more important is that in the haze, there are ghosts lurking. They are invisible and intangible, but extremely ferocious, and they feed on the souls of living people.

After the ghost devours the soul, it will occupy the body and turn it into a corpse, wandering in this dark haze.

Even the weakest ghost has the cultivation level of the ninth level [White Fang].

When possessed by a Yin Ghost, a flesh and blood creature can be directly promoted to a whole level and become a more powerful Yin Corpse.

Even a powerful seventh-grade [Blue Blood] demon, if possessed by a parasite, can go one step further and become a [Purple Eyed] ghost that dominates a hundred thousand miles of sea.

It’s just that the higher the level of cultivation a creature has, the harder it is to be parasitized.

In every Yin Year, the countless terrifying ghosts are the public enemy of all living things.

If you have some skills, you may be able to resist a few attacks, but otherwise, you can only hope for the best.

For ordinary mortals, if they want to avoid disaster, they can only get the illumination of [Life Fire] to dispel evil spirits.

Therefore, only a large island with a burning [life stove] can become a human settlement.

Beyond the coverage of [Life Fire] is a desperate place where all living things are lurking in danger.

Although Jing Qian is skilled and brave, he still has to be cautious about such a terrible natural disaster.

This is the first Yin Year he has experienced since his rebirth, so he still needs to be cautious in everything.

After three days of rapid travel, Master Jingqian returned to [Jiangzhu Island].

At this moment, the Yin Year has completely arrived!
The vast sea has changed its appearance and become extremely violent.

The huge waves covered the sky and the sun, sweeping everything on the sea into the abyss.

Jing Qian, who controls the power of [Waves], can clearly sense that there is terrifying energy surging in this vast ocean.

Under the huge waves, [Jiangzhu Island] has completely sunk.

Jing Qian sank into the sea and searched around with [World Solution], but found nothing and there was no trace of Su Min'er at all.

He flipped out the Dingyuan, which was tied to the bottom of the sea, and sailed towards Hunzhou Island against the waves.

Sailing in a Yin year is an extremely dangerous and terrifying thing!
These huge waves, like angry beasts, suddenly rose from the deep seabed and swept across the vast sea with the force of a mountain.

Even if you are sailing on a high-quality treasure ship, the casualty rate is still frighteningly high.

Therefore, the next whole year was a quiet time with everything coming to a halt in [Hunzhou].

And above this vast ocean is a paradise for the brave.

It's numerous fun to fight the destiny!
Jing Qian was deeply touched by these words.

The difficulty of sailing in the huge waves is far greater than sailing through the sea by himself.

The ten-zhang treasure ship is like a lone leaf in the vast ocean, but it is under tremendous pressure all the time.

But under the power of the [waves], this ubiquitous pressure is transformed into kinetic energy to drive the ship.

At this time, the Dingyuan was like a nimble and clever fish, dancing gracefully among the huge waves.

He used every huge wave as a launch silo and landing pad for his ship.

Whenever a huge wave surged, the Dingyuan would take advantage of the momentum and rise with the waves until the wave reached its peak. The Dingyuan would then use the huge force to soar on the spot and straight into the gloomy sky.

When he falls again, he will choose another huge wave that is beginning to descend as a support.

The Dingyuan was so happy as it deflected and jumped between the huge waves!
The speed of movement is even faster.

Jing Qian stood on the deck, his eyes firm and fiery. He became one with the treasure ship, breathing together and facing the challenges of the vast ocean together.

The sea breeze was as sharp as a knife, hitting his face violently, but he was unaware of it. All his attention was focused on the constantly rising and falling, unpredictable waves.

The power of [Wave] fate lies not only in the magic power itself, but also in a wonderful state of breathing and sharing the same fate with the vast ocean.

The Dingyuan seemed to be given life. It was no longer just a treasure ship, but became a part of the vast ocean, dancing with the huge waves and walking with the storm.

As the power of the [Wave] fate continued to be released, the Dingyuan flew up and down at an increasingly faster speed. It was like a flash of lightning, weaving freely between the huge waves.

A journey of thousands of miles, starting from morning till evening, even faster than traveling by boat in a sunny year!
The sea is Jing Qian's real home. He fights against the heaven and earth alone in the wind and waves, but his will is as strong as iron and his heart of Tao becomes clearer and clearer.

This state of concentration was not broken until he encountered the ghost for the first time.

This kind of monster, which is unique to the Yin Year, still cannot escape the surveillance of [World Solution].

Across ten huge waves, Jing Qian saw a ray of magical light that was white with gray.

A Yin ghost parasitized on a giant blue shark and evolved into a powerful ninth-grade [White Fang] Yin corpse.

This Yin corpse travels through the sea, sinking to the bottom of the sea from time to time, hunting and killing various marine creatures.

Unlike the humans on the shore, they still need to use [Life Fire] to resist the evil spirits.

These marine creatures rely entirely on their population size to resist the invasion of evil spirits.

For marine life, even if the ghosts parasitize and kill at will for a whole year, it will not be able to shake the vast and endless population.

On the contrary, after the Yin Year is over and the Yin Ghosts disappear, the remains of the Yin corpses left behind will become precious medicine for marine creatures, giving birth to true high-grade [White Fang] mermaids.

Through the repeated Yin years, the ocean and the Yin ghosts have already formed a reasonable way of symbiosis.

In comparison, humans are much more passive.

Every member of the human race is a good cattle or horse with valuable output and should not be wasted.

Spending a large number of people to fill the consumption of Yin ghosts, only to end up with a useless Yin corpse, is an absolutely unacceptable loss-making business.

If you want the Yin corpse, just go to the sea and look for it.

Just like Jing Qian at this moment, when he found the location of the Yin corpse, he turned the bow of the boat without hesitation and attacked the Yin corpse.

The Dingyuan, moving at high speed, was like a cannonball, heading straight for the location of the Yin corpse.
