Destiny is ashes

Chapter 63 Return to Huaixu Realm
"Mystical power, it's amazing." After testing his sickness sword finger again, An Jing exclaimed: "Even if I don't have sickness, I can stimulate my blood energy to become a flying sword."

“Although its power is slightly inferior to that of a pistol-level sword case, and it is a bit damaging to the finger meridians, but in the future when my physical fitness is stronger and my blood is more vigorous, I may not need any hidden weapons and can perform this technique anytime and anywhere!”

"This is the convenience of the techniques derived from supernatural powers. They are as flexible as your hands and feet."

Observing the pit left by the sick sword finger with calm eyes, the sword spirit smiled and said: "After all, all destiny and magical powers come from 'heaven', which is the side of the great road of the world."

"Compared with the magical powers of destiny, the magical powers cultivated by acquired practitioners may be more powerful and more sophisticated and effective, but they are mostly inferior in terms of 'universal compatibility'."

"It's like a person observing birds and creating his own wings. He can fly faster, more steadily, and higher than birds. He is the strongest of all wings."

"But human wings are only one aspect of 'all wings' after all, not the whole."

“As far as I know, many of the original founders of the sects were people with magical powers who held onto their fates. They analyzed their magical powers and turned them into spells and methods to pass them down, which then led to an entire great inheritance that was even more powerful and sophisticated than the original fates.”

"But this was just the beginning. Soon, the way of Qi training surpassed the shackles of fate and magical powers, and various magic inheritances that had nothing to do with fate were created."

“But similarly, this ‘expansion and supplement of inheritance’ can also strengthen the ‘fate magical power’. The same is true of the wings magical power. At first, it can only fly, but later it can fly extremely fast, as fast as the Golden Crow and the Great Peng Bird. Later, it can even break through the boundaries and travel through the void…”

At this point, the sword spirit's tone was also filled with emotion: "After thousands of years of twists and turns, Huaixu has now returned to the source of cultivation based on fate."

"However, this time the carrier is not Qi training, but martial arts."

"Everything starts all over again... The Great Dao is reincarnation, and reincarnation is also the Great Dao."

An Jing could understand the sword spirit's feelings. For an immortal sword like him that had lived for a long time, he could probably witness the evolution and reincarnation of the great Dao with his own eyes.

But for him, all this just made him feel proud: "So, if I can use my magical powers to achieve various effects in the future, I can also establish a sect, leave my own heritage, and even become the founder of a sect!"

"Well... maybe."

The Fuxie Sword Spirit responded simply, perhaps perfunctorily, or perhaps also as a cautious acknowledgment, but An Jing didn't care about that. He just laughed and continued to prepare his future backup food.

The time he spent in the other world would soon be over, and he would return to Huaixu Realm and travel through the mountains and forests.

At that time, he had no time to hunt prey and leave traces for people to chase.

Taking advantage of the extra time, An Jing roasted more than ten pounds of dried pork, as well as a large amount of nutrient-rich symbiotic rhizomes.

The two pairs of pig tusks were also carefully cut off by An Jing and collected - the essence of the spirit beast could definitely be used as some kind of elixir or material for refining weapons, and could be sold for some money.

Compared to all the resources on the two pigs, these were just bits and pieces of the puzzle, but now he didn't care about wasting them and only wanted to take the essence.

If other wild animals discover these, it will be considered a gift from nature.

The sun sets in the west and the evening clouds disappear.

The heavy rain has stopped, and An Jing's time in the other world is coming to an end.

In the last quarter of an hour, An Jing left the cave and ran as fast as he could towards the foot of the mountain and the wasteland outside the forest, in the direction of human habitation.

It was no coincidence that the two tooth pigs went to the cave to take shelter from the rain. It should be an area for the surrounding wild beasts to rest and hide. If you kill the tooth pigs, their flesh and blood will also attract other wild beasts.

I will most likely only stay in Huaixu Realm for one day, which is too short. The wild beasts attracted by the blood and flesh of the tooth pig are most likely still wandering around. In this case, I should stay away from them as much as possible.

At this time, An Jing was in excellent condition and was running very fast. Wherever he passed, birds flew everywhere and the wild beasts in the mountains and forests were frightened and confused.

Even a ferocious beast that is absolutely confident in its own strength will not act rashly when it is unclear about the situation and expose its flaws.

When encountering an accident, the first reaction of both the tiger and the hare is to "get away".

Of course, soon, as the ferocious beasts sensed An Jing's aura and the smell left behind was not "strong", they would naturally become angry and hunt down the humans who had invaded their territory.

But by then, An Jing had already left this world.

As he ran, as the three sword beams around the Broken Sword of Divine Sea disappeared, An Jing felt a pulling sensation that came from his soul, or even from a more essential part.

Silver light lit up and transformed into extremely complex and mysterious runes and sword marks, surrounding his entire body.

The next moment, An Jing disappeared.

All that remained were the extinguished ashes in a distant cave, and the processed bones and flesh of two tusk-like pigs.

Embryonic world.

In the cracks of time and space, An Jing, who was just a ball of light, saw a mountain range made up of silver light marks. That was the "spherical space" with a radius of one mile, centered on the origin point where he was first teleported to the other world.

"This is the place I can choose to descend."

Through the broken sword, An Jing realized that he could choose to land at any point in this spherical space-time with a radius of one mile, whether in mid-air or underground.

As long as he can bear it, his body can break the stone and he can transfer himself into the rock.

An Jing couldn't do it now, and he only had ten breaths to make a choice.

After a little thought, he chose to descend into a hidden ravine deep in the forest.

Huaixu Realm, the mountains and forests surrounding Xuanming Manor.

At sunset, the dark golden twilight paints the mountains and fields.

Silently, a dim silver light created a sword mark in the empty darkness, and the sword mark expanded into a door. An Jing took a step and appeared deep in the impenetrable forest.

An Jing had already observed the terrain around Xuanming Manor during his daily training. The moment he returned to Huaixu Realm, he determined his position and immediately exerted force, and his figure disappeared among the shadows of the trees.

After breaking through his inner breath and awakening his spiritual roots, An Jing's physical fitness has been strengthened in all aspects, with his strength, speed and perception abilities greatly improved.

Even with a lot of supplies on his back, he could still jump over a two-meter-high rock in one leap, and even in the complex terrain of the mountains and forests, he could still travel three meters in an instant.

In fact, as long as he infuses his legs with internal energy and performs the Xuan Step, An Jing can not only easily avoid all obstacles along the way while running at full speed, but also do so without making any sound.

In just half an hour of running at full speed, An Jing flew nearly ten miles. His face did not turn red and he did not breathe hard. He only consumed some of his internal energy, and he could continue running at this full speed for more than an hour.

And An Jing's decisive actions did help him avoid a lot of trouble.

Wow.

Half a quarter of an hour after An Jing returned to Huaixu, accompanied by the subtle sound of stepping on grass leaves and dead branches, two brown-armored soldiers emerged silently from the shadows of grass and trees.

"Strange, no traces?"

The pattern on the armor seemed to blend in with the jungle. The young soldier checked the surrounding vegetation but did not find any signs of animals. He wondered, "The formation clearly detected the presence of a medium-sized human-beast."

"Perhaps it is a fierce beast like the Cloud Leopard that has the ability to hide and float in the air."

Another soldier with a steady voice was also observing the surrounding situation. The armor on his body was gradually changing from dark green to brown. This was obviously a kind of color-changing spiritual armor that could simulate the surrounding environment.

The calm soldier also didn't find any clues, but his tone didn't change, as if he had gotten used to it. "Although the area around Xuanming Valley has long been blocked by a large formation to prevent the spread of the demons, even wild beasts entering and leaving will be discovered."

"But the 'Demon Monitoring Array' is only sensitive to demonic energy. As long as ordinary spirit beasts and fierce beasts are fast enough, they can enter and exit at will before the array reacts."

"Look."

At this moment, the soldier found a piece of crushed leaves and dead branches, bent down and sniffed carefully: "Something has been here, but it is not a monster, nor a demon."

"The breath is pure and clear, with the fragrance of some plant. It should be some kind of spiritual beast."

"Do you want to pursue her?" The other one, who was obviously a newcomer, asked with an eager tone.

In response, the more experienced sergeant sighed, "It's not a monster, why chase it? We, the Demon Prisoners, are not the Five-Colored Armor Guards. It would be useless to catch such a spirit beast, and it would delay our patrol duties."

"Besides, what if he really catches up with me?"

The words were not yet finished, but the meaning was quite clear. The young soldier thought about his own strength, the strength of the spirit beast and the salary of himself and others, and had to admit that the old ones were still the best: "Then let's..."

"We drove away a ferocious beast that had trespassed into the blockade area." The old soldier said, "In order to protect the integrity of the formation, two loyal demon-prisoning guards fought a fierce battle with it and used up a lot of replenishing pills."

"It can be done this way!" The young sergeant suddenly realized: "I see!"

The two demon-prisoning guards left.

A few more hours.

The sun has set and the waxing moon is in the sky.

Under the light blue moon veil, a red-armored soldier like a ghost walked out from the shadows of the trees.
