Chapter 724: Distributing the Spoils
In terms of strength alone, the Demon King was not the most powerful existence Jiang Ning had encountered.
But because of those two superb spiritual weapons, for Jiang Ning, who did not have a good weapon in his hand, it was indeed very restrained.
Jiang Ning originally thought that with his own ability, coupled with the cultivation results of this period of time, even if he didn't have a dual sword, he could still find a way to kill the Demon King, but he didn't think that the other party not only had almost invulnerable defense ability, but even his recovery power was so perverted.
After all, in the end, Jiang Ning still had to use the power of the Yuan Shen that he was most unwilling to use before, so he used the nine-story small tower to cooperate with Jiang Ning's self-quasi-divine level Yuan Shen to kill the Demon King.
This battle, no matter at any level, is a victory for Jiang Ning alone.
But for himself, Jiang Ning actually felt that he had lost.
It was probably because the crooked reasoning of the master Tong Fatzi had been said for too long and too many times, so that it was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Jiang Ning always felt that if he couldn't kill the enemy with his conventional combat power, then there would be a problem in the battle.
This time, fortunately, the other party's Yuan Shen was not so powerful, and after all, he borrowed the Yuan Shen to kill him, but if the other party happened to have a superb spiritual weapon used to defend against the attack of the Yuan Shen, instead of a superb spiritual weapon to attack the Yuan Shen, Jiang Ning could only ask Kapok for help when he escaped.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that this girl Kapok had been making trouble with himself recently, and wanted to make himself aware of her importance.
But in fact, Jiang Ning has never ignored the importance of kapok to himself, otherwise he would not have traveled thousands of miles from Nantang to come here in order to save Kapok from Hideyuki Yamada.
It's just that he also knows that between him and Kapok, the views on the matter of 'Kapok to Jiang Ning' are not the same in terms of degree, and the two do not give in to each other, coupled with the arrogance in Jiang Ning's heart and Kapok's mind to temper his cultivation, this is the great drama of Jiang Ning's solitary confrontation with the last four tribulations.
Of course, Jiang Ning will not be dissatisfied with Kapok because of this, he can't accept Kapok's heart, he already has a lot of guilt, if this can make her breathe a little bit, Jiang Ning is also happy.
After running over and recalling the nine-story small tower, Jiang Ning first wiped out all the remnants of the soul destroying spirit of the Demon King in the supreme spirit weapon soul destroying catalogue that had hovered in the air after losing its master, and then immediately planted his own primordial spirit brand in it, and retracted it into the Mud Pill Palace in an instant.
The nine-story small pagoda is not a spiritual weapon, let alone a Xuanhuang treasure or something, it is just a strange product of Jiang Ning's star power after advancing to the law domain, if you really want to say it, it should be a part of Jiang Ning's cultivation, but for some reason, there is clearly not the slightest soul imprint or any other way to recognize the lord in it, but the small pagoda can be controlled as a magic treasure as you like, and it can be directly used as a magic treasure to fight the enemy!
He had heard of the True Element Condensation before, only
It is just a means of using energy, condensing the true element to an extremely rich level, and it will naturally become solid, and then it will have the possibility of shaping.
But the nine-story small tower is not that simple at all, Jiang Ning has also tried to use star power to recondense a small tower, according to his current cultivation, he does have this ability.
However, after the small tower is condensed, it is just a small tower of star power, at most, it can control it to smash people or release the energy in it directly after exploding, injuring opponents, etc., but it has no function of even a little bit of this small tower at the moment.
If Jiang Ning really wanted to set it, he would rather think that it was a spirit of his own!
The spirit of the Warm Heart Divine Tree is made through the medium of the symbiotic contract, plus the star power and blood true element in Jiang Ning's body, to be precise, it should be an imitation of the spirit phase, but the gap between this imitation and the genuine product is almost negligible, but in a certain aspect, the imitation is just an imitation after all, and it can never be genuine, unless the Warm Heart Divine Tree is willing to give up its origin and consciousness, and completely integrate itself with Jiang Ning's spirit, otherwise, Jiang Ning's warm heart appearance will always be a fake.
But the nine-story small tower is different, this is Jiang Ning's spiritual appearance born through his cultivation of star power, so no matter what its strength is, what kind of function it has, it is all genuine, just for this point, the meaning of the nine-story small tower to Jiang Ning is far more important than the warm soul phase.
For Jiang Ning, as long as his star power cultivation continued to grow, the power of the nine-story small tower would become stronger and stronger, and its functions would only increase.
If the symbiotic contract between Jiang Ning and the Warm Heart Tree is terminated on that day or the Warm Heart Tree dies directly, then the strength of the spirit in Jiang Ning's body will remain in that state forever, even if his cultivation is high, the quality of the spirit will not change.
And in the previous battle with the Demon King, Jiang Ning was also deeply aware of one thing, that is, even if it was only at the moment, the strength of his nine-story small tower was far better than that heart-warming appearance!
You must know that the Warm Heart Divine Tree has been seen by Jiang Ning in the Moon Country, the most powerful existence except for the Xia Ji Yuan God, just for cultivation, he had already entered the Heavenly Pattern Realm at that time, and now he has stepped into the Divine Elephant Realm that is about to produce qualitative changes, such a powerful ability, at least in Jiang Ning's eyes, is no worse than the 'Heavenly Dog Eating Moon' who was exhausted after using one move!
However, the Warm Heart Divine Tree's powerful Heavenly Pattern Realm Spirit Phase, when Jiang Ning came here, it was not as good as the Spirit Appearance of a mere Law Realm that he had awakened, which showed the high quality of that nine-story small tower!
He had thought about this matter many times over and over again, although it was just a guess, but after talking about it with the Warm Heart Divine Tree, he felt that his thoughts were about the same as the real situation, and it was precisely because of this that when the Demon King took out the Soul Destroying Catalog, he dared to release the ninth layer
The small tower and the superb spiritual weapon are put together.
Even if it doesn't work, with the strength of his own quasi-god realm, such a big gap, even if the other party has the best spiritual weapon in his hand, he can't help it.
If you really want to make an analogy, just a child, with a dagger in his hand, wants to kill the Yuandan master with his bare hands, isn't that a joke?
It's just that the result of this fight made Jiang Ning very satisfied, with the current strength of the small tower, it is not inferior to the ordinary best spiritual weapons, if he waits for himself to grow to the earth weapon, the heavenly pattern, and even the divine realm, then his nine-story small tower, I am afraid that it can compete with the innate spirit treasure, which is more than getting the three best spiritual weapons at the moment, which makes Jiang Ning feel happy.
In the cultivation world, the price of armor is often much more precious than weapons of the same level and of the same grade, just take the price as a calculation, in the auction house, ordinary armor equipment, under the same level, one can be exchanged for one and a half to two weapons of the same level, this is still the initial price set by the auction, and after the auction is over, the price ratio in the middle will be even greater!
But for Jiang Ning, this armor is of course extremely precious, but compared to the treasure armor, Jiang Ning still prefers the best spirit sword burning with black ghost fire!
If the two of them were fighting, the armor was on the Demon King, but the sword was in his hands, then it wouldn't take long for Jiang Ning to easily break through the defense on the Demon King, and he could easily kill it without the power of the Yuan Shen!
In ordinary people, defense is naturally more important, but in the masters, or masters who are confident in ensuring the safety of their lives and confident in being able to inflict enough damage, weapons obviously become more important.
To take the simplest example, those famous masters on the East Court Domain Continent rarely became famous with defensive spiritual weapons or magic weapons, and most of their names were called 'what sword', 'what what spear' and the like, but no one's name was 'what what shield' or 'what what armor'!
Even like Nangong Bird, the wooden tart and these people never carry any treasure armor or protective gear at all, except for the weapons they are good at using, it is a simple robe, and even some people even wear robes that are made of true yuan.
But this time, Jiang Ning still decided to honestly put the best spirit armor on it, this time the trip to the abyss, there is no turning back, although the passage back to Luoyan Valley is there, but Jiang Ning knows very well that the guy named Ji Congtian is only afraid that he is still there at the moment, that is a real god elephant master, even the most powerful kapok here, there is no way to survive from the other party's men, in addition to finding another passage back to the mainland in the abyss, a few people can only wait here to raise their cultivation to the god elephant realm, and then directly from the entrance of the Luoyan Valley to kill a bloody way out。
Of course, the Warm Heart Divine Tree has entered the realm of gods and elephants for a few years at most, and it's a big deal
Hideyuki Yamada is the same, he has been waiting here for a few years, and when the Warm Heart Divine Tree has successfully advanced, even if he is not Na Ji Congtian's opponent, there will be no problem in escaping from his hands.
But Jiang Ning thought about it, and felt that the other party might not have been waiting at the entrance of the Luoyan Valley, after all, he was a god elephant master, and there were so many subordinates here, obviously he had all the opportunities, and there were many things to do, but Jiang Ning didn't dare to take this risk, because if he went back, and if that guy was still there, then none of them would want to live.
Therefore, entering the real abyss and finding another exit in it is the only thing Jiang Ning and them have to do at the moment.
Jiang Ning didn't know how dangerous the abyss was, but he probably already had an estimate in his heart.
The strength of Ge Hong's remnant soul is so strong, it is just a fluke that he found a passage to the Yang Realm, and only then did he successfully leave the abyss, obviously, except for the three gates that are connected to the Yang Realm, it is not so simple to return to the Yang World from other places.
And, the passage in Luoyan Valley has been guarded by Ji Congtian and they can't pass, so if Jia Ning wants to go, they can only find Xudu or Shenmeng Mountain.
For Jiang Ning, the most ideal outlet is the capital of Xudu, after all, Shenmengshan is in the territory of the Dayan Dynasty, the westernmost part of the entire Dongting Domain Continent, first, he is not familiar with the place, he has never been there, these two come, the Dayan Dynasty is the real dictatorship of the dynasty, there is no shadow of the sect behind it, all the cultivation sects must submit to the dynasty to be able to get a trace of vitality, if they are not satisfied, then they will all be swept away by the army of Dayan, there, all the monks must be naturalized, registered, the government and the dynasty have backups, there is simply a hell for all cultivators who advocate freedom, If these people appear on the land of the Dayan Dynasty for no reason, I don't know what will happen at that time!
The paper strength of the Dayan Dynasty is only stronger than the current Southern Tang Dynasty, and on about the entire continent, only the Tianlu Dynasty in the north can wrestle with it, not to mention Jiang Ning, even if he throws his master Tong Zhi into it, then he has to honestly pick up his tail and be a man.
This abyss land is definitely a Longtan Tiger, just stepped in, and encountered such a catastrophe, if it weren't for Jiang Ning's strength being strong enough, Fang would have died, but the Dayan Dynasty is afraid that it is not a fuel-efficient lamp, especially when it involves the relationship between the dynasties, and it is even more difficult to deal with it than for them to escape back from the abyss.
Therefore, if it was possible, Jiang Ning would still prefer to find the capital city in this abyssal land, and then take advantage of this ghost gate to open it and secretly run back to the Yang Realm.
But Jiang Ning also knows that this kind of thing is easy to say, but it is as difficult as it is to do.
Thinking about that Ge Hong's remnant soul, how to say that it is also the peak strength of the Celestial Pattern, the strength in the abyss, I am afraid that it is a few points stronger than in the Yang Realm, but in the end, it is just that the lucky drop found a passage to connect to the Yang Realm by chance, this
was able to return to the yang, and after so many years, he has not been able to run out of the Xudu, Shenmeng Mountain or Luoyan Valley, thinking about it, there are also some unknown restrictions.
Otherwise, why could ordinary ghosts return to the Yang Realm in the three ghost festivals of Shangyuan, Zhongyuan, and Xiayuan, but they were high-level ghosts, but they couldn't do it anyway?
Just thinking about this trip is far from being comparable to what he has traveled in the Southern Tang Dynasty or participated in the Cloud City Competition, and his safety will probably be under a premise of not being guaranteed at all times, so Jiang Ning almost did not hesitate to wear the best treasure armor on it, in view of the fact that the little ash and white bamboo were all broken, Jiang Ning also branded his own Yuan Shen mark on the black giant sword, which can be regarded as completely taking it for himself, although this black giant sword is a hundred times heavier than the small ash and kapok he usually uses, and it is not suitable for Jiang Ning, who is on the fast sword path, but the quality of the best spiritual weapon is there, enough to make up for this weight shortcoming, and there is no choice at the moment, so he has to use it first, if he can find one or two forging masters in this legendary 'underworld', he doesn't mind paying some price to transform this black giant sword.
Keiko and Bachichosa watched from the side, and they were also envious at the moment, the best spiritual weapon, that is the best spiritual weapon, placed in any third-rate sect on the mainland, it is enough to be used as a heavy weapon in Zhenshan, even in the top sects such as Qingxuan and Lanque Sect, there are very few existence of the best spiritual weapon, and there are only about Tong Zhi and their peak master-level existence, everyone is willing to have one in their hands, and some have even cultivated to the peak of the Tianwen Pattern, and there is not a superb spiritual weapon in their hands.
But right now, Jiang Ning already has three pieces in his hands, not to mention both offense and defense, there is actually a superb spiritual weapon specially used to attack the Yuan Shen, which is really drooling!
But they also knew in their hearts that if it weren't for Jiang Ning and Kapok, they would probably not even be able to survive this catastrophe, let alone get any top-grade spiritual weapons, and even if it wasn't for the little bee who chose to follow Keiko at that time, I was afraid that Jiang Ning and Kapok Ten ** would not appear here at the moment, if they had bad intentions at this time, it would definitely be them who were unlucky.
Of course, as far as Jiang Ning's understanding of Yamada Hideyuki is concerned, although he is a foreigner, and he is not a good person, but at least he is true to his word, and he will not take revenge, so he did not hide it at the moment, and in front of so many people, he stripped the corpse of the demon king, in addition to the three superb spiritual weapons, there is also an armband with the power of space, obviously, it must be some kind of spatial spiritual weapon that belongs to this abyss.
Jiang Ning knew that there must be some treasures hidden in the armband, but no matter how he used the Yuan Shen, Star Power or True Yuan, he couldn't open the armband, so he directly threw it to Kapok not far away and glanced at her.
Kapok naturally knew that Jiang Ning was going to try it by himself, and he didn't say much at the moment
After passing the armband, she injected evil force into it, and sure enough, a storage space nearly ten zhang square appeared in her field of vision.
She didn't rush to see what was hidden in the armband, but looked up at Jiang Ning and said, "It's open, do you want me to take out the contents for you?"
Jiang Ning smiled and nodded.
It's not that he covets the things in the armband, and he doesn't want to give Kapok at all, but the Demon King is just a peak of earth weapons, and there are actually three top-grade spiritual weapons to protect it, and there is a rather large space spirit weapon for storage, which is obviously not ordinary, first, he wants to see, is there any clue about the Demon King, these two come, resource resources, useful can be called resources, Kapok is a ghost cultivation, and the cultivation needs are not the same as Jiang Ning, what he wants she may not need, what she wants, may not be useful to him, so, take it out and see, whoever is useful to him, who will take it, that is the most correct and reasonable decision。
Kapok has been following Jiang Ning for so long, and naturally understands his son, so there is nothing uncomfortable in his heart, and besides, after all the things were taken out, the armband was directly thrown by her son Little Bee by her, and she didn't mean to be polite to Jiang Ning at all.
The little bee happily wrapped the arm around his arm, the storage spirit weapon of the yang realm is not convenient for them to use, and it is extremely precious, Jiang Ning has only made one for Kapok, Hong Er and Chu Chengcheng so far, and the storage space of each is very limited, and the total space is not as large as the current armband, no wonder the little bee is happy.
"Thank you, mother, thank you, father!" the little bee smiled sensibly, making a grimace at each of them.
Jiang Ning didn't care about this, but just set his eyes on the pile of things.
A few dim-toned, strong-smelling stones, a palm-sized, colorful, but still dark-toned glass bottle, what was contained in the bottle could not be seen clearly from the outside, but only a glimpse of yellow, even if the first layer of the green electric pupil was opened, it could only be seen that it was a mass of liquid.
In addition, a small black book, a small yellow book, an octagonal box made of sunken wood, and a whole bunch of different sizes, different colors, dense soul fire!
The moment the soul fire appeared, it was included in it by the fast-eyed kapok with Li beads, because the refining speed of the soul fire of the purple skeleton king was a little slow, resulting in the soul fire that had been saved in the later area, and it was not purified until now, although Jiang Ning wanted to use these soul energy to raise the Yuan Shen to the Divine Elephant Realm in a short period of time, in this way, the Yuan Shen would be nourished in turn, and his cultivation speed would also increase the speed of improvement, but the Kapok side did not say that he was slacking off, and he was naturally embarrassed to say anything.
Those few stenching stones, under the analysis of Jiang Ningqing's electric pupils, can indeed see a bit of goodness, but what is contained in them is pure evil energy, which is not for Jiang Ning himself
What is the use, so Kapok stretched out his hand very unceremoniously, and after sucking all those stones away, he laughed softly: "I want these things." ”
Jiang Ning spread his hands to show that he had no opinion on this, and then picked up the glass bottle on the ground, because he had seen it with his eyes before, Jiang Ning knew that if this thing was at least not touched, it would be no danger to himself, so he unscrewed the cap of the bottle generously at the moment, and glanced inside, just a glance, and he buttoned the bottle stopper again.
Inside the glass bottle was some viscous yellow liquid.
If Jiang Ning wanted to say what this thing looked like, then the first thing he thought of was the corpse water flowing out of the dead body!
But that thing was obviously much more powerful than ordinary corpse water, Jiang Ning only smelled it slightly, and he felt a little dizzy in his head, and even some of the power of the Yuan Shen that was deliberately released and ready to be carefully observed was sucked and submerged into the yellow viscous liquid.
"This thing, could it be the so-called Yellow Spring Water in the old legend?" Keiko said with some horror.
Obviously, even on the island of Shikoku, there is a legend about the Yellow Spring.
Jiang Ning smiled and shook his head, "It shouldn't be, Huangquan is said to be a river across the prefecture, this yellow liquid is so viscous, how can it flow when it is put into the river?"
Keiko was dumbfounded, "That's right, then tell me, what is this thing?"
Everyone shook their heads, only Hideyuki Yamada said: "Although it's not yellow spring water, it's probably inseparable from the so-called yellow spring, right?"
Jiang Ning smiled, didn't speak, just handed the thing to Kapok in a muffled voice, no matter what this thing was, in short, it didn't have much to do with his cultivation, but it was Kapok, since the Demon King had a place to get this thing, maybe the Kapok, which was also a big ghost, might as well be useful, so he might as well take it first.
Jiang Ning picked up the black and white books at the same time, and handed the black book to Kapok, while he himself held the white book, and the two of them looked through it.
The text on the book is not the text that Jiang Ning had guessed before, if it were, it would only be given to Hideyuki Yamada to translate, but now that I think about it, the existence of the text is proficient, I am afraid that even in the Huangquan Prefecture, it is not an ordinary person, although this demon king does not seem to be an ordinary person, and his status in the abyss is not simple, but he must be only a junior or the second generation in his own race, maybe he has already understood the text at the moment, but it is still a little unqualified to further contact things related to the text。
Of course, Jiang Ning still maintains this skeptical attitude on this point, maybe it's just that their family or the force he is in feels that he doesn't have the ability to save things related to the martyrdom at the moment, so he doesn't have the cheats written directly in the funeral script.
The writing here is no different from the contemporary writing on the Dongting Domain Continent, Jiang Ning naturally recognizes it, Kapok was just a peasant woman before her death, although she had not received any decent education
Education, but after all, after becoming a big ghost, the power of the Yuan Shen has soared, and the ability to learn things has also improved many times, and it is not difficult to learn the common words on the mainland, and it is naturally able to understand it at the moment.
"This is a martial arts cultivation method!" Kapok held the black book and looked up at Jiang Ning and said with a smile: "I don't know how many times better than the soul control technique, I'll take it!"
Jiang Ning nodded with a smile, handed over the white book in his hand to Kapok's hand, and said with a smile: "This is the construction method of matching the combat method and several spells, and it also needs to be completed by borrowing evil power, it is useless to me, you can take it too!"
At that moment, in front of everyone, apart from the corpse of the Demon King, there was only one thing, the octagonal box.
As soon as Jiang Ning beckoned, the octagonal sunken wood box flew to the palm of his hand.
"Hopefully there's something that works for me. Jiang Ning said a little helplessly, he was desperate to improve his cultivation at the moment, and Kapok knew this very well.
The lid of the box had not been lifted yet, because of the weight of the box, Jiang Ning already knew clearly that part of the contents of the box had been taken away.
The lid of the sunken wood was slowly lifted, and a faint smell passed out from the octagonal wooden box, Keiko and Yachikusa subconsciously pinched their noses, but it was the kapok standing next to Jiang Ning, probably because he had suffered too much, so he didn't even frown at the moment.
