The Fate of Eternal Life

Chapter 14: Exquisite Movements of the Great Saint Wei Yi
Ning Qingyi returned to the palace where he stayed and took out the spoils he had gained.

The fairy Linglong with nine holes lay in the palm of his hand, emitting bursts of divine sounds and flowing with five-colored divine light.

Legend has it that there are two divine objects in the world that possess the incredible potential to capture the Dao patterns of heaven and earth: one is the divine purple gold that can connect with spirits and immortals, and the other is the Xian Linglong. Unfortunately, the Xian Linglong is impractical. It can only be transformed into an immortal scripture when nourished by immortal energy in the immortal world, and is meaningless in this world.

This is a treasure that was born into this mortal world by mistake!
But Ning Qingyi knew that in addition to using fairy energy to nourish Xian Linglong, there was another possible way in the mortal world.

That is to nourish Xian Linglong with immortal matter!
By absorbing it from those who have lived a second or third life, or from those who have the reincarnation seal, and obtaining enough immortal matter from their bodies, the fairy Linglong may also bloom.

Of course, these are all world-class figures, and none of the ones Ning Qingyi can meet now can be provoked, let alone taking their lives.

In addition, there is a relatively easier source, which is the elixir of immortality!
Each immortal elixir is transformed from a dead immortal and contains immortal essence in its body. If it is continuously watered with the immortal elixir, I believe Xian Linglong will be able to play immortal scriptures.

But honestly, Ning Qingyi possessed the phantom of the Gate of Eternal Life, which could also extract the precious laws from the elixir of immortality, so he didn't need Xian Linglong to do anything unnecessary. Furthermore, he already had an Unbeatable Golden Body, which, if he could cultivate it, would be enough for him to dominate the immortal world. The immortal scripture nurtured by Xian Linglong was merely the icing on the cake.

So what Ning Qingyi needed was just the possibility brought by Xian Linglong capturing the Dao patterns of heaven and earth.

The trip to the Fire Territory allowed Ning Qingyi to confirm one thing, that is, the shadow of the Gate of Immortality in his body would react to strange objects that contained the true meaning of immortality.

At the same time, he also had a feeling that the Gate of Immortality was absorbing the laws of the Immortal Dao, thereby further improving itself. So, if he used the Immortal Linglong, could he carry the shadow of the Gate of Immortality and capture its true meaning?
Ning Qingyi put Xian Linglong into the Sea of ​​​​Glorious Wheel. As soon as it entered, this rare treasure underwent strange changes.

I saw Xian Linglong first floating above the sea of ​​​​glory, with light of different colors overflowing from the nine holes, interweaving together to form a colorful mist, which suddenly fell straight down and landed in the sea of ​​​​wheels, absorbing the divine power of the sea of ​​​​wheels.

The halo came into contact with the divine power of the wheel sea, and with a bang, a fairy-like rain of light rose up. It was so gorgeous and brilliant that it made people's hearts uneasy and unable to control themselves.

"Sure enough! The Wheel Sea, baptized by the Gate of Eternal Life, has undergone a deeper transformation. Fortunately, I sealed it with the Primordial Boundary Light just now, otherwise there might have been a huge flaw left."

Ning Qingyi was a little excited. Could it be that his wheel sea was close to becoming an immortal? Xian Linglong had received enough nourishment and was about to evolve into an immortal scripture!
But his excitement soon subsided, because after careful observation, he found that except for the fairy-like rain of light that would burst out when Xian Linglong was about to overflow, there were no other strange phenomena.

He was somewhat unwilling to give up, so he seized the opportunity to take out Xian Linglong. Then a shower of light like a fairy burst out and fell on his shoulders.

The next moment, Ning Qingyi entered the Tao.

He was in a state of ecstasy, his mind was empty, and he only saw scenes of birth and death, and images of reincarnation. In a trance, a sea of ​​life and death appeared before his eyes, sparkling with light.

"Boom!"

The sound of the great Dao came out from the Xian Linglong, like the sound of Huang Zhong Da Lu, which entered his body, awakening his ears, making him realize and giving him great inspiration.

He looked inside his body and discovered some mistakes and omissions in his invincible golden body, which were caused by his lack of deep understanding of the scriptures.

Although it is only a hidden danger now, it will become a weakness if it fights with cultivators who also practice the physical body scripture or are born with a treasure body. In addition, it will not be conducive to the future practice of the Invincible Golden Body.

Ning Qingyi used the Invincible Golden Body Technique to start repairing the minor deficiencies in his body.

Soon, the light rain dissipated, and Ning Qingyi exited this state. He felt a little unsatisfied and couldn't help but look at the Xian Linglong in his hand in surprise.

Obviously, Xian Linglong has not evolved the immortal scriptures, but being able to reflect herself and help others attain enlightenment is already extraordinary.

But this is just a pleasant surprise. The important thing is to verify another possibility.

Ning Qingyi took out the Luofu Ding and used the method of building instruments in the Taoist scriptures to practice the Xian Linglong and the Lunhai Divine Pattern together.

The monk Lunhai had the opportunity to smelt four weapons in total. The first one was used by him to build the Daojie Golden Heart Lamp, and the second one was this Xian Linglong.

With the example of building the Daojie Golden Heart Lamp before him, the process of refining Xian Linglong went smoothly. In three days, he had refined Xian Linglong into a rare treasure. Then he took the time to adjust his state, and when his spirit was complete and his energy was sufficient, he sacrificed Xian Linglong and rushed straight towards the phantom of the Gate of Eternal Life.

The shadow of the Gate of Eternal Life stood in the void. As was common sense in the past, even though Xian Linglong and the shadow overlapped in the sight, it still gave people the feeling that there were thousands of mountains and rivers between them.

He had anticipated this, so he was not surprised.

Immediately afterwards, Ning Qing chanted the small destiny spell, and the syllables of destiny sounded from Xian Linglong.

At this moment, his mind was extremely focused, and his lifespan was burning rapidly. One year, two years, three years...

"Communicate, connect! Carry...carry!"

Ning Qingyi's prayer echoed in the sea of ​​​​wheels. Soon, ten years of his life were burned out, but the Gate of Eternal Life did not respond at all.

Ning Qingyi continued to burn without any hesitation. Even if he failed, he didn't care!
Twenty years, thirty years, forty years...

The burning of his lifespan soon approached the planned fifty years. If other cultivators saw this, they would be stunned and think that there must be something abnormal between him and Ning Qingyi.

In The Great Ruler, life span is a priceless treasure. The miraculous medicines, elixirs, and secret methods that can prolong life are treasures that even the ancient emperors would pay attention to.

But Ning Qingyi did not feel the slightest regret, his heart was as hard as iron and continued to burn.

Forty-one years, forty-two years... When it burned to the forty-ninth year, the shadow of the Gate of Eternal Life finally trembled.

This magnificent, great, glorious and vast portal exuded an immortal aura, then trembled slightly, and a mysterious light poured into Xian Linglong.

Ning Qingyi was struck by lightning, his small destiny technique was interrupted, and Xian Linglong was no longer under his control.

A grand voice of destiny emanated from Xian Linglong and echoed in the sea of ​​​​wheels.

"Open up! Open up! Create the world!"

Ning Qingyi's mind trembled, and he felt a great power permeating everything, leaving him in a daze. When he came to his senses, he found that Xian Linglong had landed in the Lunhai Life Spring, constantly absorbing and exhaling the divine fluid.

what is that!
Is the Gate of Eternal Life sending me a message?
Ning Qingyi's mind was trembling. Although he really wanted to continue spying on the Gate of Eternal Life, he didn't expect that the Gate of Eternal Life would actually send him a message.

To open up and create the world.

What does this mean? Do you want to create your own world?

Ning Qingyi's mind raced.

He thought that in the world of immortality, the Gate of Immortality actually existed in a world inside, which was filled with divine objects. Treasures such as the Three Thousand Great Daos and the Three Life Stone were all sprayed out from this world.

So, is the Gate of Eternal Life's phantom truly just a phantom? It possesses all sorts of incredible abilities simply because its true essence is so high.

Ning Qingyi thought about it over and over again and soon made a decision.

I am afraid that I cannot understand all of this at the moment. In this case, if the shadow of the Gate of Eternal Life needs a world, then I will give it a world.

It's not impossible in just this small world!
Ning Qingyi took out the Xian Linglong again and observed it carefully. He found that in addition to his own divine patterns, there were new mysterious patterns on the body of the instrument. They were very complicated and made people dizzy at the sight.

He activated it, but found that Xian Linglong was spontaneously absorbing the Dao patterns between heaven and earth, and then emitting bursts of divine sounds.

This is the sound of the Great Dao! The sound of the Great Dao that can help people realize the truth!

Ning Qing listened for a while and was surprised.

Then he thought of something and placed Xian Linglong in the Dao Ding of the Dao Palace. He saw bursts of heavenly sounds of the Dao rang out in the entire sky palace, and the divine patterns fell one by one, sank into the Dao Ding, and were absorbed by the immortal object.

"This is it!" Ning Qingyi was a little shocked. Originally, the immortal creatures in his Taoist palace needed endless Taoist patterns to nourish them in order to be born. Now with the help of Xian Linglong, the progress was accelerated many times.

He breathed a sigh of relief with some satisfaction, and then went into seclusion to regulate his breathing.

On the day he came out of seclusion, he visited Tianxuan Stone Workshop.

This stone archway is very easy to identify because in this holy city where every inch of land is valuable, this is the only stone archway with ancient vines climbing wildly, weeds everywhere, and even pheasants and rabbits can be seen.

Ning Qingyi looked at the words "Tianxuan" written on the mottled bronze plate, and then looked into the distance ahead.

Dilapidated stone steps, collapsed palace, and a hunched old man sitting on a piece of bluestone.

Ning Qingyi said nothing, walked forward, and said to the old man directly: "Senior, I want to buy some stone."

The old man trembled and said, "I am not worthy of the title of senior. I am just the gatekeeper of the stone workshop. As for stones, there are not many left here. Please help yourself, young master."

"Thank you, senior." Ning Qingyi followed suit and walked into the stone archway.

Although this stone archway was almost emptied, there were still quite a few fragments left. Considering that six thousand years had passed and it was still not empty, one wondered whether the old gatekeeper had gone there to dig for stones.

Ning Qingyi started searching. In the original novel, Taoist Chilong had found a dozen stones here, one of which produced the Human Yuan Fruit, but Ning Qingyi did not have such a keen eye, so he simply moved away a hundred or so stones, almost clearing out the entire stone archway.

"Senior, I want all of these." Ning Qingyi took out nearly a thousand kilograms of source.

The old man at the gate was stunned for a moment and said, "We don't need so many. There are no valuable stones here..."

Ning Qingyi said, "No need, I feel there will be treasures here."

He piled the stones into a pile, then sat next to the old man and began to concentrate on cutting the stones.

During the few days he spent in the Holy City, he would go to the stone workshop to watch people cutting stones when he had nothing to do. He understood some of the principles involved, so he started cutting slowly.

One piece, two pieces, three pieces...

Ning Qingyi cut more than thirty pieces of stone in a row, but all of them turned out to be waste. If an ordinary person saw this scene, he would probably be furious.

The old man at the gate couldn't bear it any longer and said tremblingly, "Sir, why don't you stop solving the puzzle? I'll return the extra energy to you."

Ning Qingyi shook his head and said, "No need, just sit down and relax, senior."

Hearing this, the old man who was guarding the gate could only watch quietly. Soon, a hundred or so stones were cut open, and a piece of ice and snow appeared in the middle, making his gambling stone less ugly.

When they had cut the last three pieces, Ning Qingyi suddenly said, "Senior Wei Yi, are you really planning to guard this stone archway in obscurity?"

The old gatekeeper didn't respond, as if he was deaf.

Ning Qingyi continued to cut the stone: "I have offended you, Senior. I am Ning Qingyi, I came from the ancient star of Honghuang. My master is Ge Hong, and I inherited the Taoist tradition of Lingbao Tianzun."

"Nearly a year ago, the Nine Dragons pulled the coffin to the ancient star Honghuang. I was fortunate enough to follow the coffin to the ancient star Beidou. However, I was very unlucky at that time. The place where I crashed was actually the ancient forbidden land."

The old gatekeeper shuddered and looked surprised.

"Ah, it seems that this junior is very lucky, this is the Human Yuan Fruit!"

Ning Qing looked at the stone that had become much thinner, and saw a slight pink color seeping out on the stone surface. A fragrance, like orchid and musk, was refreshing and intoxicating to the core.

He did not hide it either. He took out the great sacred weapon, put it into the container containing the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill and put it into the Luofu Ding, and then took out a sealed Nine Wonderful Immortal Holy Fruit.

"Where were we talking about?"

"They said you fell into an ancient forbidden land."

Gatekeeper, no, Great Sage Wei Yi said slowly.

"Senior Wei Yi, do you believe what I said?" Ning Qingyi felt a little depressed. He originally thought that the other party would be stubborn and ignore him.

"Nine Wonderful Immortal Elixir..." Wei Yi did not answer Ning Qingyi's question, but asked: "How did you escape? If you only rely on this great sacred weapon in your hand, it is impossible to pick the sacred fruit."

Ning Qingyi shook his head and said, "Of course it's not my strength, but the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin seems to have suppressed the entire forbidden area, making the taboos there dare not reappear."

"Don't dare to show up..." Wei Yi was a little dazed, his eyes were wandering, as if he saw the scenery six thousand years ago.

"After coming to the Beidou cultivation world, I inquired about many things about the ancient forbidden land, and thus learned about the Tianxuan Holy Land's attack on the ancient forbidden land six thousand years ago. By chance, I learned some things about the three heroes of Tianxuan in the past. I passed by you several times and suspected that it was you, so I came to confirm it."

Wei Yi said, "You are not afraid of making a mistake. A fruit of the Nine Wonderful Immortal Medicine, even one from a branch, is still a rare treasure."

Ning Qingyi replied, "You are joking, Saint. It's just a piece of fruit. I was planning to give it to you as a filial gift. If you want it, I have more."

Ning Qing took out several more fruits without blinking.

Even though Wei Yi had already become a Great Sage, he couldn't help but be stunned at this moment: "You didn't take away all the magical medicines in the ancient forbidden land, did you?"

Ning Qing smiled shyly: "Lucky luck, the fruits of the Nine Wonderful Immortal Sacred Fruits happened to be ripe, so I took them all."

"What luck..." Wei Yi couldn't help but sigh. His eyes were wandering and no one could tell what he was thinking at the moment.

Perhaps he was thinking that if the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin had come in the past, would the Tianxuan Holy Land succeed in attacking the ancient forbidden land, or would it still be reduced to ashes, and would its glory still be washed away by the wind and rain?

Ning Qingyi didn't dare to disturb Wei Yi's thoughts. He waited for a long time before hearing the old saint's voice.

"Why did you come to see me?" Wei Yi asked.

Ning Qingyi said, "I am willing to offer the Nine Wonders Immortal Elixir as a price, and ask Saint Wei Yi to be my protector."

Wei Yi shook his head and said, "I am already old. Even if I get the Nine Wonderful Immortal Elixir, it will be useless. So I'm sorry, I can't agree to it."

Ning Qingyi was not discouraged and said, "There is one more thing. I want to explore the ancient forbidden land. I am willing to pay for the magic medicine and ask for the saint's protection!"

Wei Yi was silent, a terrifying aura gradually rising from his body, pressing down on Ning Qingyi, as if to crush him.

The powerful saintly aura flowed like a chaotic mist, which made him tremble with fear, but he still did not retreat, but looked at him bravely.

This made Wei Yi a little dazed, as if he was thinking about something that happened six thousand years ago.

"Never mind. Come find me when you want to go. I'm tired today, so you go first."

"Thank you, senior!" Ning Qing was overjoyed. Apparently, it was possible to explore the ancient forbidden land again. He left the Nine Wonders Immortal Fruit behind and ran away.

Only Wei Yi was left staring at the Nine Wonderful Immortal Fruit in a daze.
