Swallowing the Stars: The Wind Sword Master.

Chapter 87 The Domain of Wind

early morning.

A dazzling purple fighter jet took off from the Mingyue residential area and soared into the sky at an altitude of 10,000 meters.

The fighter jet sped up and soon disappeared as a streak of purple aurora, leaving a thin line in the middle of the crimson sky.

"Brother, are we going to the Australian continent?" Ning Qianqian was particularly excited. They were about to go to the wilderness area, and it was her first time leaving the base city.

"Yes, let's go there. I just came back from there, and the environment is really nice." Ning Ze lay lazily on the purple sofa, with Shu Yi holding his arm beside him, her eyes also full of anticipation.

He had originally planned to stay at home for a couple of days, but the constant stream of visitors to his home annoyed him, so he decided to take his family and leave the base city for a couple more days. He would then go back after discussing his appointment with Hong.

Standing in front of the canopy, looking at the churning clouds outside, Ning Hua couldn't help but sigh, "I never imagined I'd one day be sitting in a fighter jet." Turning his head, he asked curiously, "How much does this fighter jet cost?"

"Using money as an analogy isn't quite right," Ning Ze explained. "This is the most advanced Primordial Intelligent Fighter in the Limitless Martial Arts Academy, capable of withstanding King-level monsters. I exchanged it for 60 Stars from the academy master. The Grass and Wood Spirit you just used costs 1.5 Stars, so the price starts at least at 1200 billion Chinese Yuan. It's priceless; even 5000 billion wouldn't be enough to buy it."

"Money is useless. I spent the equivalent of five trillion to buy this fighter jet. No one else could afford it. The owner of the museum will not sell it to outsiders."

"So expensive?" Ning Hua's expression was one of astonishment; she was completely stunned by the terrifying number.

These warriors and martial artists earned a billion in ten years, and it would take them fifty thousand years to buy a single fighter jet.

This would be even more remarkable for ordinary people. A billion people working for a year would only earn a total of 30 trillion yuan. One fighter jet is equivalent to two months' worth of revenue for the entire country.

Ning Qianqian was completely stunned. She opened her mouth wide and blinked repeatedly. After a while, she excitedly shouted, "Brother, I want to take a picture here!"

"Just pretend we're in our car, take as many pictures as you want, as long as you don't take any of mine." Ning Ze waved his hand lazily.

"Sister-in-law, come and take a picture for me." Ning Qianqian ran over and pestered Shu Yi to take a picture, which she planned to post on her social media account.

Ning Ze turned to Wu Hao and Zhang Ran and asked, "You two seem ready?"

Wu Hao said cautiously, "I have prepared some, but I'm not sure if it will be enough."

"Is this enough? Take a look." Ning Ze smiled and raised his hand. A virtual screen appeared in front of him, showing a list of exchange items. There were a total of six plant spirits, four of which were priced at 1500 billion Chinese yuan and required 5000 million contribution points, while the other two were worth 2000 billion Chinese yuan and required 6600 million contribution points.

Wu Hao breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the price. Fortunately, he had enough money. The price was a bit higher than he had expected, but it was good that he could buy it at all. It was normal for it to be a little expensive.

The Limitless Martial Arts Academy has a purchase price for the Spirit of Plants, but they have never received it. Those who do receive it either treasure it as a precious gem or barter it with other items.

"Jiang Fang is also planning to buy a plant spirit; what do you mean by that?"

"Sister Fang?" Ning Ze pondered for a moment. The last time they met, she rolled her eyes at him, and he hadn't seen her since. He didn't know how he had offended that woman. "Sister Fang, of course you can buy it. What did she do after leaving the training camp?"

"I don't know about that. But she wanted to buy herbal spirits to nourish her body, maybe she was injured?" Wu Hao guessed.

"Injured?" Ning Ze thought back for a moment. The two of them had been fighting for so long, and he must have been injured countless times. He recovered quickly and got up to continue fighting. Jiang Fang certainly couldn't absorb cosmic energy while fighting, so she was also gritting her teeth and fighting him. Could she have been injured at that time?

"No need for the money, Sister Fang has helped me a lot, I'll just give her one. What do you think? Which one do you want to buy?"

Ning Ze felt a little guilty, guessing that he might have been a bit rude because he was drunk that day, so he didn't think about asking for money.

"I choose the heart of a thousand-year-old willow tree," Wu Hao said, pointing to the second design.

"I choose the thousand-year-old black ginseng," Zhang Ran also made his choice.

Ning Ze nodded slightly, and three wooden boxes flew out of another cabin, one flying to Zhang Ran and the other to Wu Hao.

"Thank you, sir!"

"Thank you, sir!"

The two men accepted the wooden box with great excitement and expressed their gratitude.

Ning Ze nodded slightly, then dialed Jiang Fang's contact number, but no one answered after two attempts. He turned around and asked, "Where is Sister Fang now?"

"I don't know either, but she transferred the money to me," Wu Hao replied.

Ning Ze hesitated for a moment, then said, "I see... then you should give her this red privet."

"Okay. I'll definitely deliver it to her." Wu Hao agreed immediately.

Ning Ze nodded slightly, and another wooden box flew over as well. He turned to look outside the fighter jet, which had already stopped. "We can consume the spirit of plants when we get back tonight. Today, you can take my parents for a trial."

"We will definitely protect Madam Li and Miss Ning!"

The fighter jet slowly descended to the top of a mountain in a continuous mountain range.

Ning Ze led everyone out of the cabin. "Dad, you take Mom and my sister to train. Xiao Guai and I will stay here and keep an eye on things." He turned around and said, "If anything happens, just send me a message."

"Don't worry, Dad is now as strong as a war god." Ning Hua seemed very excited. Now he's not just in the wilderness area, the whole of China can't contain him anymore, he's going to conquer the Australian continent!

Ning Ze was somewhat amused and exasperated. His physical attributes were indeed at the level of a War God, but a War God who couldn't exert force and whose movements weren't precise enough was arguably the weakest War God. He probably couldn't even defeat a War General; that was a harsh reality.

He winked at Wu Hao and the other man, meaning that they shouldn't look for monsters that were too powerful, but rather find some stupid ones to get used to first.

Wu Hao and Zhang Ran understood and nodded to assure each other that there would be no problem.

Then, Ning Hua took the lead, and the five of them headed straight down the mountain. The mountain was covered with blue stones and there were no monsters.

"How about we sit down? I was in a rush last time I came, so I didn't get a good look around."

"I'll listen to you."

Ning Ze smiled slightly, pulled Shu Yi towards the edge of the mountain, and the two jumped onto a rock standing upright on the cliff edge, then sat down.

Shu Yi lay in Ning Ze's arms, gazing into the distance, where a sea of ​​lush green forest stretched before her eyes.

The mountains here are not very high, and the terrain is relatively flat. The view is vast, and you can even see a slight curve. A white stream meanders into the distance, passing through dense forests and disappearing from sight.

A gentle breeze ruffled Ning Ze's hair, bringing a touch of coolness. He looked at the beautiful natural scenery before him and a smile appeared on his lips. He felt refreshed and carefree.

"What a nice view."

Shu Yi smiled brightly. Having always lived in the base city, she had thought that her first time venturing into the wilderness would be filled with savagery and desolation, and would be thrilling. She never expected that she would be enjoying the scenery on this dangerous Australian continent.

She shifted her body slightly to make the position more comfortable and relaxed.

The two of them watched each other quietly, exchanging a few words occasionally, like a pair of celestial lovers on a mountaintop.

Time has lost its meaning at this moment.

Ning Ze felt more relaxed than ever before. Without realizing it, he seemed to hear the whispers of the wind. Without looking, he could easily feel the swaying of broad leaves several kilometers away.

His mind gradually relaxed, merging with the wind and drifting along. The wind was everywhere, and gradually the surrounding environment seemed to be fully visible, giving rise to a sense of control.

Ning Ze gradually came to his senses, a strange feeling rising in his heart, "Is this a domain?" He slowly closed his eyes, and a transparent light shield suddenly appeared around him, enveloping the two of them.

With a thought, Ning Ze did not use his mental power, but the branches of the trees in the distance suddenly lifted up, followed by a stone flying up. He controlled a tree rat to fly up, its two big eyes filled with confusion.

"What is this?" Shu Yi asked softly.

"field."

"Just like your Sword Domain?"

"It's not quite the same. This domain should be the same as Master Hong's domain." Ning Ze smiled slightly. It was truly an unexpected stroke of luck. He hadn't deliberately tried to comprehend the domain, but suddenly he had mastered it.

"So now that you're in two fields, aren't you even more skilled?" Shu Yi asked happily, tilting her head up.

Ning Ze nodded slightly. "That's true."

[Host: Ning Ze]

[Realm: Planetary Level 1, 45.7% (Martial Artist); Planetary Level 1, 15.9% (Mentalist)]

[Insight: Wind Domain (Level 1) 256/10000000]

[Cultivation Skills: Gene Energy Cultivation Method "Five Hearts Towards Heaven"; Guiding Technique "Seven Techniques of Spiritual Wind"; Visualization Method "One Sword Seals the Heavens"]

【战斗技能：《风影》行之奥义（一阶）73869/10000000；《风剑绝尘》剑之领域（一阶）369819/10000000；《旋风劲》意境963939/1000000】

After just one glance, Ning Ze was overjoyed. He had not only grasped a new area of ​​knowledge, but he had also discovered a new way of cultivation.

低头看了一下通讯手錶，他心中推算着，「我静静地坐了2个小时，从行星级一阶45.6%提升到行星级一阶45.7%，2个小时0.1%。之前我12个小时才提升0.3%，也就是4个小时才提升0.1%。放鬆的修炼速度是我正常修炼的2倍！」

For a moment, Ning Ze was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.

Previously, he had been working hard and relentlessly to cultivate, never daring to relax for a moment. But now, this tense feeling has become an obstacle to his cultivation.

Now that he has relaxed his mind and body, all parts of his body actively absorb cosmic energy. It's no longer just the five hearts in the "Five Hearts Facing the Sky" technique; his cultivation speed has directly doubled.

Ning Ze narrowed his eyes slightly, a smile of satisfaction playing on his lips.

The level has changed. In the past, during the apprentice stage, he focused on improving his physical fitness, and he did need to push himself to work hard in cultivation.

He has now reached the planetary level, unlocked his attribute abilities, and more importantly, comprehended nature, adjusted his cultivation state to integrate with nature, making cultivation extremely enjoyable!

"This place is so beautiful. I want to take some photos too." Shuyi really wanted to capture the scenery here.

"Take the pictures if you want. After that, I should take you to a match. Having good physique but not being able to fight is not enough." Ning Ze agreed with a smile.

Shu Yi kept adjusting the angle to take pictures, and even pulled him to take a group photo.

Ning Ze certainly wouldn't refuse; this was his wife, not his sister. Just as he finished posing for the first photo and was about to take the next one, his communication watch suddenly rang.

"The curator? He finally contacted me."

Shuyi calmed down and took dozens of photos, which was about enough.

The video call was connected.

"The curator."

"Are you in Australia?" Hong asked, looking at the plants around him, all of which had broad leaves.

"Yes, is there something you need, Master? When can I take office?"

"No one's looking for you?"

"I escaped here, and I can't even have peace at home," Ning Ze said with a wry smile.

Hong smiled slightly and explained, "The martial arts school never forces anyone to stay."

The Limitless Martial Arts Academy never forces martial artists to join; even within the Academy's management and training camp, other factions can be joined.

Ning Ze was somewhat amused and exasperated. So that was why he hadn't talked to him. He had been training at the martial arts school since he was a child; how could he possibly join another organization? He didn't want to deal with those troublesome matters; it was best for him to focus on his training.

"I've turned misfortune into a blessing; I happened to be out relaxing and gained some insights into this field. I'm truly grateful to you."

Hong was stunned for a moment, and the corner of his mouth twitched. He had already comprehended the domain?

He fell silent for a moment. Of course, he had said so much during their conversation, and things were better then, at least Ning Ze was in a different field of understanding.

Now, things are much better. The basic conditions have indeed been met. He has become a planetary-level powerhouse, and his essence, energy, and spirit have become unified to a certain extent, which is a prerequisite for using the domain.

But state of mind is completely unnecessary.

Ning Ze would never grasp the concept of an infinitely large heart that can encompass everything.

Hong's voice was somewhat stiff. "How did you come to that conclusion?"

"How did you come to this realization?" Ning Ze pondered for a moment. "To be honest, I don't know either." He pointed to the vast forest in front of him and said, "I suddenly realized it while looking at the forest."

Hong's face was expressionless; it was truly difficult to maintain composure when he was with this young man. "What attribute? Wind Domain?"

"Yes, the Wind Domain." Ning Ze nodded.

"How's your strength?" Hong asked with concern.

Ning Ze replied directly, "The two domains reinforce each other, and with their consistent attributes, their power is amplified, so they should have become much stronger." As for how much stronger they had become, he had no idea, as he hadn't compared them with anyone else.

Hong was at a loss for words. Upon hearing this, he immediately understood that this was not simply a matter of becoming much stronger.

His cultivation level was one rank lower than Thor's, but he won every fight thanks to his domain. Now, Ning Ze has also comprehended a domain, and can even combine it with his sword domain—the power is incredible…

"Your current strength should be close to Thor's. If you're interested, you can have a match with him."

Ning Ze's eyes lit up, and he asked with slight hesitation, "Is this convenient?"

"Hehe, he'll be happy to spar with you." A smile appeared on Hong's lips. It's lonely at the top. The two of them have been invincible for a long time. It would be a great fortune to be able to fight against another strong member of their own clan!

"I've made some progress in my cultivation, and I want to stabilize it before I go." Ning Ze had just mastered the new cultivation method, and he wanted to explore it further.

"That's up to you," Hong said casually before asking, "When do you want to take over as inspector?"

"Early next month, I guess? I just broke through to the planetary level, and I want to experience it properly, explore my body's potential, and adapt to the wonders of this new realm," Ning Ze replied.

"September 1st? That's feasible. Luo Feng will officially assume his post then."

"Then let's do it on September 1st. One social engagement is enough." Ning Ze set the date directly. He really disliked banquets, not only because they were troublesome, but also because of the alcohol involved.

Upon hearing this, Hong Yi immediately understood. Everyone else hoped to take over in a glorious way, but only Ning Ze regarded this kind of thing as a trouble. He sighed inwardly, thinking that his rapid progress was inseparable from this kind of personality.

"Would you like to try your luck at Ruins No. 9? It's one of the most familiar ruins to humans, and it should be quite easy for you. If you succeed, you can even get a set of Black God armor. With your talent, you might even get something else."

"Ancient ruins? Let me check my cultivation progress. If I have time, I'll go explore them." Ning Ze was a little curious about the ruins, but at his level, he could go anywhere he wanted, so he wasn't in a hurry.

"Alright. You can continue your cultivation."

Hong found it quite amusing after saying this. Ning Ze and the other person clearly looked like they were on vacation, yet they had already grasped the domain. If it were Thor, he would probably cry out, since the other person had been struggling for years without gaining any understanding.
