Chapter 146 reappears
Yan Chixia stood up, walked to him, reached out and placed her hand on his wrist, closing her eyes to sense it for a moment.
After a moment, he released his grip and nodded slightly.
"Eighty percent of the Nascent Soul power was consumed, but the foundation was not damaged."
"A few days of rest will be enough to recover."
He took out a pill from his sleeve and handed it to Zhou Ning.
"Taking this 'Rejuvenation Pill' will help you quickly restore your Nascent Soul power. After taking it, go into seclusion for three days."
Zhou Ning took the pill and swallowed it.
A warm medicinal power spread through my body, and the fatigue and weakness gradually subsided.
The nascent soul in the dantian began to absorb the medicinal power more rapidly, and the purple-gold light gradually brightened.
"Master, I heard the voice of the Heavenly Demon deep in the North."
Zhou Ning sat down on the prayer mat and recounted his trip to the north in detail.
Void rifts, humanoid shadows, fierce battle, whispers of the demons...
After listening, Yan Chixia remained silent for a long time.
He walked to the window with his hands behind his back, gazing at the distant mountains outside with a deep look in his eyes.
"The Heavenly Demon can now communicate with you across the void. This indicates that the constraints of the Heavenly Dao's laws are rapidly weakening. The time we have left may be even less than we anticipated."
He turned around and looked at Zhou Ning.
Are you scared?
Zhou Ning thought for a moment and said, "This disciple is not afraid. But this disciple feels a lot of pressure. The Heavenly Demon is too strong, and this disciple is not its match yet."
Yan Chixia nodded.
"The fact that you recognize this shows that your Dao heart has not become arrogant despite your increased strength. This is a good thing."
"Breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage is your most pressing matter right now. Take a good rest and adjust your mindset."
Zhou Ning nodded, returned to his residence, sat cross-legged on the bed, and continued to probe the jade slip containing the Nascent Soul chapter with his divine sense, studying it carefully.
"First, stabilize your cultivation at the late Nascent Soul stage, then consider the Deity Transformation stage."
In the days that followed, Zhou Ning spent his days cultivating in the back mountains, nurturing his nascent soul, and practicing swordsmanship.
He practiced the "Demon-Slaying Technique" repeatedly, infusing each sword strike with righteous energy to maximize the damage the sword energy inflicted on the demons.
He mastered sword control to a higher level, and all six flying swords could be arranged into complex sword formations in the air under the control of his divine sense.
His cultivation level is steadily improving.
The mid-stage Nascent Soul realm has been completely stabilized, and the bottleneck in the late-stage Nascent Soul realm has begun to loosen.
He knew that if he had more time, he could break through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
But just then, news came from the north.
On this day, Zhou Ning was meditating on the back mountain when he suddenly felt the communication jade talisman in his arms getting slightly warm.
He took out the jade talisman and infused it with a wisp of true essence.
Han Wei's voice echoed in his mind, tinged with anxiety:
"Young Master Zhou, the rifts in the North have reappeared. This time, they are the same as before, only larger. Three rifts appeared instantly without any warning, catching us completely off guard."
Zhou Ning felt a chill run down his spine, put away the jade talisman, and rushed towards the back mountain.
"Master, the north is in dire need of help!"
Yan Chixia was practicing his sword when he heard his words. He sheathed his sword and his expression turned serious.
"Three rifts appeared simultaneously? Are the extraterrestrial demons about to launch a full-scale attack?"
Yan Chixia then said, "I'll go with you."
The two left Lanruo Temple and sped northwards.
Han Wei's anxious voice still echoed in their ears from the communication jade talisman, while Zhou Ning and Yan Chixia had already rushed out of the Lanruo Temple's mountain gate.
The sky over the North was more gloomy than usual.
Dark clouds hung low, as if pressing down on the mountaintop, making it hard to breathe.
A faint stench permeated the air. Unlike the demonic aura of the Black Mountain Demon, this aura was more ancient and carried an indescribable eeriness.
Zhou Ning followed closely behind Yan Chixia.
His mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivation made him as fast as lightning, but Yan Chixia was even faster, like a streak of azure light.
"The three rifts appeared simultaneously; the extraterrestrial demons are serious this time."
Yan Chixia's voice came from ahead, carrying a hint of solemnity.
"Zhou Ning, you go to Qingfeng City. Leave Luoxia Town and Cangmang Mountain to me and Xuanzhenzi."
Zhou Ning nodded: "Disciple understands. Master, please be careful."
The two parted ways on the way, and Zhou Ning headed towards Qingfeng City alone.
From Qingyun Mountain to Qingfeng City, it's a distance of a thousand miles.
Zhou Ning traveled day and night, pushing his mid-Nascent Soul cultivation to its limit. His figure was like a purple-gold lightning bolt, speeding along the official road.
He arrived in Qingfeng City in less than two days.
The scene in the city was worse than he had expected.
In the sky, there was still that huge black crack that looked like a vertical eye, with dark clouds churning inside and strange objects frequently appearing. Every now and then, clumps of black objects would rush out of the crack.
Some of them looked like humans, some like beasts, and some like a cloud of smoke, as they frantically attacked the defensive line set up by the Demon Suppression Guards on the city wall.
On the city wall, Han Wei was leading his guards in a valiant resistance.
His body was covered in wounds, and the sleeve of his left arm was torn, revealing bruises underneath. But he still stood at the front, brandishing his long sword and cleaving a dark figure that lunged at him in two.
The guards had suffered heavy casualties, and several young guards lay in pools of blood, their fate unknown.
"Young Master Zhou is here!" a guard shouted when he saw Zhou Ning.
Zhou Ning drew his Qingfeng sword, and with a flash, rushed into the group of shadows!
"cut!"
A streak of purple-gold sword energy shot out from the tip of the sword, like a giant purple-gold dragon, heading straight for the group of black shadows.
With his mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivation fully activated, his sword energy, imbued with righteous spirit, naturally countered the shadowy figure.
Wherever the sword energy passed, the dark figures screamed in agony and vanished into black smoke.
Zhou Ning unleashed sword strike after sword strike, the purple-gold sword energy weaving into a net in the air, slaying the dark figures approaching the city wall one by one.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and the nascent soul power within his body was being rapidly depleted, but he dared not stop.
On the city wall, the guards were greatly encouraged when they saw Zhou Ning arrive. They raised their weapons and fought against the shadowy figure.
Han Wei rushed to his side, panting, and said:
"Young Master Zhou, there's something big in the crevice. A humanoid shadow just came out, but we fought it back with all our might. It will definitely come out again."
Zhou Ning nodded, his gaze fixed intently on the crack.
He could sense an extremely powerful evil aura surging deep within the crack, stronger than the clone he had encountered before.
"Lord Han, you and the brothers hold the city walls, I'll deal with that big guy."
Han Wei hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Be careful."
Zhou Ning flashed and rushed towards the crevice.
He stood directly below the crack, concentrating all his Nascent Soul power at the tip of his sword, and unleashed the ultimate move of the "Demon Slaying Technique".
A dazzling purple-gold light shone on the Qingfeng Sword.
The light grew stronger and brighter, like a small sun, dispelling all the surrounding darkness.
"come out!"
A massive purple-gold sword aura shot out from the sword tip, heading straight for the crack.
"boom!"
The sword energy struck the crack, producing a deafening explosion.
The crack trembled violently, and the black mist at its edges began to dissipate.
