Chapter 47: Chapter Secret

The Immortal Lord of Dark Moon, former Lord of the Mirror Domain.

The Mingjing Domain is located in the extreme north of the Canglan Domain. The Dark Moon Sect was founded by the Dark Moon Immortal. The Dark Moon Sect was the most prosperous sect a thousand years ago. Every genius in the sect has the ability to stand on their own.

Before she fell into evil, the Dark Moon Immortal Venerable was a very benevolent and kind person. She had personally solved many major problems in the world. Whenever there were famines or floods, she would always order the disciples in the sect to go down the mountain to rescue. In those days, the name of the Dark Moon Sect was definitely the most famous in this mortal world.

During the years she was in power, she saved countless people, but no one expected that the Dark Moon Immortal, who had reached the tenth level of Sainthood a thousand years ago, would suddenly draw the Blood Soul Capture Array in the far north, attempting to sacrifice the entire Mingjing Realm with blood, use their souls and flesh, and forcibly tear apart this world and open the door to the other world.

She was the strongest person a thousand years ago. If she had not had the desire to rule the world, she should have been the emperor of the entire Canglan Domain.

But it was precisely because of her behavior that all the former saintly monks in the Canglan Domain finally chose to unite to encircle and suppress her. After that battle, every domain lord was seriously injured, but fortunately, everything of the Dark Moon Immortal was finally completely destroyed.

It is also because the major domain masters retired due to injuries that the major forces have changed and entangled again over the years, and finally the world was divided into five parts, transformed into the four domains of east, west, south, and north and Zhongzhou. There is no real domain master in each domain, and the major sects check and balance each other, and when facing other domains, they will unite against the enemy.

At this moment, Jiang Li had a dim crescent mark on his forehead.

....................................

Jiang Li's Yueji sword had been broken. He moved his fingertips slightly, and soon a spiritual sword forged with spiritual energy appeared in his hand.

But the appearance of this sword made the eyes of the five people in front of him tremble even more. The dark blue spiritual sword with the dark flame burning on it was also recorded in ancient books. It was the sword of qi, Yue'an, which belonged to the Dark Moon Immortal Venerable.

But why did all this appear in the hands of a small cultivator from the Xuantian Dao Ji Sect? !

Unfortunately, Jiang Li had no intention of explaining to them. He just walked forward slowly with the sword in his hand. The sword in his hand flickered with a dark blue light. The light was not scorching, but rather cold enough to chill people to the bone.

It was as if winter had suddenly descended upon the dense forest. The grass and trees had all frozen into hard blocks. Jiang Li's footsteps slowly rang out one step at a time. Qin Shushen, who was standing in front of him, had only one thought in his mind: Run! Run! Run quickly!

His body turned around in an instant, his essence and blood burned, turning into a stream of blood. This was a unique blood escape method of the evil cultivator. Moreover, the speed at which his essence and blood were burned was such that even an ordinary spiritual cultivator might not be able to stop it.

What's more, his four bodyguards appeared at the same time, all of them blocked Jiang Li's way and would never give Jiang Li a chance to get past.

They are Qin Shu's protectors. If they fail to protect Qin Shu, the final price will definitely be more painful than death!

Jiang Li said nothing and slowly raised the spirit sword in his hand. The four people in front of him had already formed a spiritual energy shield. Their cultivation was all in the late stage of overcoming the minor tribulation. If they really wanted to stop an ordinary first-level Spirit Transformation cultivator, they would definitely have a chance. They had even joined forces to kill a second-level Spirit Transformation cultivator.

But unfortunately, the person standing in front of them was Jiang Li.

The dark blue spirit sword in his hand flew out in an instant, releasing a dazzling light. The flickering flames on the spirit sword eroded the spiritual shields of the four people in an instant. Their shields cracked and collapsed in an instant, and Jiang Li's sword accurately slashed across their necks. After one sword, the four people's heads fell to the ground in unison, but there was no trace of blood. The dark blue flames on the Yue An sword had frozen all the flesh and blood on their necks.

Jiang Li raised his eyebrows slightly, and the blood-colored light in front of him was about to disappear in the depths of his sight, but he just raised his hand, and the sword of Qi was pinched in his hand again, and the sword pierced through the blood-colored light in an instant.

Jiang Li walked forward slowly and came to Qin Shu, who had fallen to the ground, with blue flames burning on his chest and gradually freezing.

"Please spare me... spare me... spare my life. I am the disciple of the Second Elder of the Blood Soul Sect. I can give you a lot of spirit stones, a lot of women, and everything you want!!!" Qin Shu's voice couldn't stop shaking. At this moment, he could only watch the fireworks freeze his body.

At this moment, Jiang Li stood in front of him, looking down at him condescendingly. After a second or two, he suddenly smiled.

"Will you continue to practice evil cultivation in the future?" he asked.

“I won’t do it anymore!! I won’t do it anymore!!”

"If I forgive you this time, can you promise not to kill anyone again?"

"Of course!! I'm a beast!! I'm worse than pigs and dogs!! Spare my life, I'll work like a slave for you, I have more than 10,000 spirit stones on me, I'll give them all to you! All of them!"

"I will definitely turn over a new leaf!! From now on, I will pray for the dead souls and keep vigil every day!!"

Jiang Li's expression seemed to hesitate for a second, but the next second, he laughed again, "Do you want to know why I became like this?"

Qin Shu's eyes became more and more panicked, "No!! No!! I don't need to know!!"

"No, how about I tell you...otherwise you must be very upset, right?" Jiang Li said, and suddenly felt a touch of moisture on the tip of his nose. It was raining.

Even though Qin Shu didn't want to hear it, Jiang Li still wanted to say it again.

After all, this secret has been in his heart for a long time.

"Four years ago, I entered the Zhongzhou Secret Realm. But the moment I entered, I was called by a voice. I was called to the deepest part of the Zhongzhou Secret Realm, and then... I picked up a flower."

"That voice bewitched me into eating the flower, and then I learned that the Dark Moon Immortal Venerable had indeed died, but she had left a trace of consciousness in this secret land of Zhongzhou, hoping to return again one day."

"Her consciousness is hidden in that flower. After I ate that flower, her consciousness was hidden in my mind. Whenever my cultivation level exceeds the foundation-building stage, the flower will manipulate my spiritual energy to gradually erode my consciousness."

Jiang Li's voice was filled with resentment at this moment.

"Four years! For four whole years, I could only rely on constantly tempering my soul and body to improve my strength, but I didn't dare to make any progress in my cultivation. This is why I was able to beat you in the Foundation Establishment Stage. Do you understand now?"

He kicked Qin Shu hard in the face, venting his resentment for the past four years.

But Qin Shu still had to put on a smile. His body was almost frozen, but the flames were still on. He looked at Jiang Li and shouted hastily, "Please spare my life. I, I must be more valuable alive than dead. I have more than 10,000 spirit stones in my storage ring..."

"It's the same if I kill you and then take it away. That little formation can be easily broken."

Jiang Li lowered his head and looked at him. At this moment, Qin Shu's consciousness had become a little unclear. He looked at Jiang Li with resentment, "Then you, then what did you say just now..."

"Killing a person who knows he is going to die is not satisfying. Killing a person who thinks he may have a chance to survive is very satisfying."

Jiang Li finished speaking and looked at the other person's wide-open eyes. But at this moment Qin Shu could no longer close his eyes. His eyes just stared at the sky, dead.

Jiang Li turned around slowly. The rain that had just fallen had now become very heavy. Not far in front of him stood Bai Sheng in a purple dress. Perhaps because she had run back in too much of a hurry, her purple dress was stained with a lot of mud.

Jiang Li looked at her calmly.

At this moment, his eyes were no longer gentle, nor did they hold those playful lights. He just asked quietly, "How much did you hear?"

Bai Sheng stared at his eyes blankly. After a second or two, she bit her lips lightly.

"I... heard everything."

"Junior Sister Bai Sheng." Jiang Li walked towards her step by step. Bai Sheng's body did not move. She bit her lip lightly and said, "Senior Brother Jiang Li, are you going to kill me too?"

Only the dead can keep secrets best.

To Jiang Li, the consciousness of the Dark Moon Immortal on his body is a hot potato that he cannot avoid. However, to those cultivators who have already reached the Mahayana and Supreme Saint levels, what is buried in his body is the most precious treasure.

The sword of the Dark Moon Immortal, the spiritual weapon of the Dark Moon Immortal, the formation diagrams and alchemy that the Dark Moon Immortal studied in the past, the swordsmanship and formations of the Dark Moon Immortal, are all hidden in the Dark Moon Immortal's consciousness.

They have a way to obtain the memories of the Dark Moon Immortal, but this method will come with a price.

It will make Jiang Li die.

After all, wanting that treasure is like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.

"Junior Sister Bai Sheng, why do you ask this?" Jiang Li was almost in front of her.

"Because Senior Brother Jiang Li's eyes are so cold."

Bai Sheng had never seen Jiang Li's eyes so cold.

In her memory, Jiang Li was always gentle. Even though he always said that gentle people would only become unhappy, in fact, he had always been like that. Bai Sheng liked to secretly look into his eyes when she was with him. Just looking into those eyes made her feel as if her body would warm up, making her want a sunny afternoon.

But at this moment, those eyes were so cold that they seemed about to freeze.

Jiang Li had already walked in front of Bai Sheng, but Bai Sheng did not dodge or avoid him. After a moment of silence, Jiang Li reached out and gently hugged Bai Sheng. Bai Sheng did not dodge, so he held her in his arms.

"There are some storage rings on the corpse. Junior Sister Bai Sheng, remember to take them all off. There are a lot of spirit stones inside."

"I should be unconscious for a few hours. Junior Sister Bai Sheng, please take me down the mountain and find a place to sleep first."

"I believe that Junior Sister Bai Sheng will keep the secret for me. The eyes you saw just now were not my eyes. How could I bear to be cold to Junior Sister Bai Sheng?"

His voice became so gentle again, but he seemed to be suppressing something. After a moment, Bai Sheng felt that he was suppressing the pain, because at this moment he was destroying his cultivation. He opened the switches of all the acupoints and spiritual veins, and tore them apart with extremely strong willpower. Then all the spiritual energy dissipated from the sea of ​​​​qi. His cultivation fell from the transformation of the spirit to the small tribulation, then to the Nascent Soul, the Core Formation, and finally returned to the early stage of foundation building.

After doing all this, Jiang Li was almost biting his teeth. Previously, he leaned on Bai Sheng's shoulder, not wanting her to see his pitiful posture with his facial features twisted together. Now that it was finally over, he suddenly felt very tired, so he closed his eyes and lay in Bai Sheng's soft arms with peace of mind.

Chapter 48: Chapter Proving Your Innocence

"If you don't let me return to this world, you will never be able to break through the foundation-building stage in this lifetime!"

"If I don't want a breakthrough, then I won't. Look, I've been doing fine for the past four years. I've been playing with the girls in the sect all day long. Aren't I happy? I don't have any big ambitions."

"Those women will only get further and further away from you. Sooner or later, their abilities will surpass yours, until you become as humble as dust in their eyes. You will no longer be able to look them in the eye. You will die in front of them and be forgotten."

"There will always be people who forget me, but there will always be new people who know me. Why? Are you angry? Who told you to choose me in the first place? Haha, you deserve it, you unlucky bastard!"

....................................

Jiang Li woke up in a daze.

When he woke up, he smelled a faint fragrance. When he opened his eyes, Bai Sheng's head was lying on his legs, and she seemed to have fallen asleep. Jiang Li looked at the sleeping face of the girl and raised his hand, wanting to poke Bai Sheng's face gently, but before his fingertips reached her, Bai Sheng's eyes had already opened, and a look of joy appeared in the next second.

"Senior Brother Jiang Li is awake."

"Yeah, it's okay."

Jiang Li sat up slowly, but couldn't help coughing twice.

It is not such a simple matter to abandon one's own cultivation. For a period of time after that, his body will become extremely weak, and his soul will become extremely weak because of the previous pain. At this moment, he is no different from an ordinary person.

"Where are we now?"

"In Meihua Town, in the mayor's house." Bai Sheng said softly, "Senior Brother Jiang Li has slept for six hours."

"It's been so long." Jiang Li couldn't help but cough twice. At this moment his face was still very pale and he looked very weak, as if his body had been hollowed out by alcohol and sex.

He took out some beef jerky from his storage ring and started to chew it. Bai Sheng placed a storage ring in front of him. There was a formation engraved on the storage ring, which required the owner's spiritual energy to open. However, this formation was only at the Xuan level. Jiang Li only used a little spiritual energy to open the ring easily.

There were a total of 10,000 spirit stones in the ring, piled up into a small hill. This was a considerable fortune. There was also a spirit sword, a book on evil cultivation techniques, and some elixirs in it, but there was nothing particularly valuable.

"Where are the bodies of those people?"

"It's all burned."

"Well done." Jiang Li reached out and rubbed Bai Sheng's head, then reached out and took off Bai Sheng's storage ring. Not long after, he moved 5,000 spirit stones into Bai Sheng's storage ring. Bai Sheng's lips slightly opened, "I... don't need it."

"This is our joint profit. Junior Sister Bai Sheng, please keep it safe."

Seeing that Bai Sheng still wanted to refuse, Jiang Li smiled helplessly, "Think of these extra spirit stones as hush money. If Junior Sister Bai Sheng doesn't keep the secret for me... I will probably be caught and killed by the Sect Master."

Bai Sheng nodded heavily, "I will keep it a secret!"

Jiang Li pinched her face gently, "I haven't told you all the secrets yet."

"Can you... tell me?"

"I trust Junior Sister Bai Sheng, so it's okay." Jiang Li blinked at Bai Sheng, "But you have to speak softly, Junior Sister Bai Sheng, come closer."

Bai Sheng sat up straight obediently and moved his ear closer, so Jiang Li spoke in a low voice.

"Four years ago, I explored the secret realm of Zhongzhou. There was a legacy of the Dark Moon Immortal Venerable. But that legacy was not a benefit left by the Dark Moon Immortal Venerable to future generations. Her consciousness had been waiting in the secret realm of Zhongzhou, waiting for a destined person with enough talent to take over. But unfortunately, she met me. Her incomplete consciousness was suppressed by my sword power, so she could only hide in my head."

"But the problem is that I was bewitched and ate the inheritance mark she left behind. So as long as my cultivation exceeds the foundation-building stage, the inheritance mark will be triggered and will nourish her soul. At that time, her soul will surpass me and occupy my body."

"This is also the reason why I have been in the initial stage of foundation building for the past four years. I can't practice any further, otherwise my consciousness will be devoured by her."

"But if I don't practice, I will be easily suspected by others, so I always have to do something to hide their suspicion. It just so happens that Mu Bingning rejected me at the beginning, so I can pretend to be a reasonable reason and be hurt by love."

The hot air exhaled from Jiang Li's mouth fell into Bai Sheng's ears, and her body became numb. After a second or two, she asked in a low voice, "So... is it because of this?"

"But the bigger reason must be that Senior Brother Jiang Li still prefers sweet and soft girls." Jiang Li's tone soon became playful again. He gently bit Bai Sheng's ear. Bai Sheng immediately stepped back in fright, and his dark eyes soon became resentful again.

"So, Senior Brother Jiang Li...what should we do from now on?"

"In the future?" Jiang Li thought for a while, "If my sword power can go a step further, I will have a chance to continue suppressing her soul and cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage, but going any higher will be as difficult as ascending to heaven."

"But there is another way. We can look for the various legacies left by Dark Moon Immortal Venerable. Those legacies all have her power. Her power can also be used to suppress her inheritance mark. But we haven't found it yet... There is still a long way to go. Who knows what will happen in the future?"

"What was Senior Brother Jiang Li's cultivation level when he killed Qin Shu?"

"That is a secret treasure, but it can only be used a few times to forcibly improve my cultivation. But if I don't destroy my own cultivation, I will be occupied by her consciousness in an incense stick of time. That's why Junior Sister Bai Sheng thought my eyes were so cold at the beginning."

Jiang Li really liked the feeling of talking into Bai Sheng's ear, because he could see Bai Sheng's slightly red cheeks and trembling shoulders. She looked as cute as a little deer. He suddenly wanted to get close to her and give her a gentle kiss on the face.

After all, her cheeks are so cute.

In fact, he didn't like kissing, and the feeling brought by kissing was not as good as hugging, but for some reason, he really wanted to get close to her and give her a good kiss, so he suddenly stopped talking, struggling and hesitating in his heart. Bai Sheng heard that he was silent and turned her head subconsciously, and Jiang Li had just made a decision at this moment.

He kissed her gently. Bai Sheng was startled, and her face was still full of astonishment when she turned around. The next second, her pink lips were lightly touched. Although it retreated immediately, her cheeks turned red.

But Jiang Li was a little confused.

"Why did Junior Sister Bai Sheng suddenly turn around?"

Jiang Li innocently started to complain, but Bai Sheng stared at his face and uttered "you you you" several times, but she stammered and couldn't say anything. Her eyes became moist because of shyness, as if steam would come out of her forehead in the next second.

Jiang Li blinked at her and said, "Junior Sister Bai Sheng and I are very good friends, right?"
