Chapter 281: Heavenly Spirit Bead
Towards the looming light, Zhang Ling went with his sword, and within a few snaps of his fingers, he came to the front of the two handsome peaks, and there was a faintly shining pearl between the two cliffs.
The most important thing is that his father-in-law Zhang Qian was also next to the Lingzhu, but these were just projections of the past, and Zhang Qian couldn't notice Zhang Ling's arrival, but Zhang Ling was also very surprised when he saw this scene at this time.
"This spirit bead is really my father-in-law's, what is he doing here?" Zhang Ling frowned, because he felt that Zhang Qian's behavior at the moment was very strange.
At this time, Zhang Qian was standing next to the spirit bead, looking back at the figures of Zhang Ling and Yu'er in the distance, smiling, and muttering: "I didn't expect that I put the spirit bead here in advance, not only to isolate the outside world, so that those who have been looking for me can't find my traces, but also attract the people I want to see the most." ”
Listening to Zhang Gan's self-talk, Zhang Ling's face became even more puzzled, but from the eyes of his father-in-law looking at him, he had already sensed that Zhang Qian had recognized himself.
"Could it be that my father-in-law recognized me at the beginning, and it was intentional to trap me and Yu'er in the enchantment the next day?"
Just when Zhang Ling was puzzled, he saw Zhang Gan input a trace of vitality into the spirit bead again, "Although you are my righteous son, it is indeed the best choice to pass on my body cultivation to you, but before that, I also have to see if you are suitable to be my Zhang Gan's successor, this should be the first test for you, right?"
After Zhang Qian injected a piece of vitality into the spirit bead, the spirit bead moved, and a ray of light flew into the air from the inside during the rapid rotation, and then formed a transparent net, and then quietly fell to Zhang Ling and Yu'er's resting place.
"Could it be that this is the invisible barrier that trapped me and Yu'er in the first place?" Zhang Ling couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when he saw a transparent net of true qi instantly enveloping the top of his and Yu'er's heads.
"Zhang Ling, it seems that your father-in-law recognized you from the very beginning, and it was also intentional to set up an enchantment in advance to test your cultivation. ”
Not only was Zhang Ling surprised by the scene in front of him, but even the old man in the sea was secretly frightened, it turned out that this Zhang Qian really laid out a big game of chess before he died.
"If you can pass my test tomorrow, I will pass on my cultivation experience to you in the shortest possible time, as for whether you can successfully enter the Wufu Cliff depends on your ability, as for my body skills, it is too early to pass on to you, if you can really worship me as a teacher, and there will be me as a master in your heart in the future, I think you will definitely return to this place again, and when the time comes, this gift I have carefully prepared for you will be yours." ”
Zhang Ling was secretly shocked by his father's plan, but at this time, Zhang Qian spoke again, he looked at Zhang Ling's figure in the distance, and there was both love and hope in his eyes.
"Father-in-law......"
When Zhang Ling saw Zhang Gan's expression at this time, he instantly understood the good intentions of his stepfather many years ago, and his eyes couldn't help but have tears, if he had discovered this spirit bead earlier, maybe Zhang Qian would not have died.
Zhang Qian looked at the riverside tree in the distance, and found that Zhang Ling and Yu'er were asleep, so he turned to face the spirit bead, and then sat cross-legged in mid-air, palm after palm to the spirit bead to transmit true qi and vitality, the volume of the spirit bead is gradually getting larger, and the spiritual power contained in it is getting stronger and stronger.
"This Heavenly Bead was found on the Falling Dragon Mountain when I went to your hometown, and I felt that I had an inexplicable connection with this bead, and it was also this bead that allowed me to survive the serious injury, and even allowed me to directly ascend to the Holy Realm when I was at the peak of the Spirit Realm.
But there are pros and cons to this bead, it has helped me improve the realm, but it is also absorbing my cultivation and vitality all the time, if I want to control it, I must transcend the holy realm, but now I am a crippled me, how difficult is it to reach the Nirvana realm in a short time? ”
Zhang Ling stood beside Zhang Gan, he heard every word Zhang Gan said very clearly, at this moment, his mood is really difficult to describe in words.
"It turns out that you didn't exhaust your vitality and cultivation because you taught me skills, but because of the sacrifice of this Heavenly Bead, you died and died, why didn't you tell me this before I left?"
Zhang Ling's eyes were slightly red, and when he looked at Zhang Gan, there was both gratitude and remorse, and his tone of voice trembled a little.
"Zhang Ling, this father-in-law of yours is really a hero, in the face of his own grievances and hatred, he is willing to give up his cultivation and even his life, this spirit is difficult to find a few people in the world, don't be too sad now, since you are really as he expected, come here today, why not let him make a last wish, let this spirit bead become a part of his own strength?"
Yuan Lao naturally heard Zhang Gan's words, and at this moment, he also had admiration for this Zhang Ling's father-in-law, but the top priority was to let Zhang Ling know what he should do the most.
"Elder Yuan, you said that this spiritual bead was left to me by my father-in-law, but I still have a few questions that I can't figure out, since my father-in-law was already in the Holy Realm at that time, why don't you go to the Wufu Cliff to find the mastermind behind the scenes and have a happy battle?
And since I left, this spirit bead has been here for many years, among the five dynasties of Kyushu, there are so many monks secretly looking for treasures, why has it not been discovered?"
After Yuan Lao's reminder, Zhang Ling finally swept away his gloomy and sad emotions and re-energized, but in the face of the current situation, he still couldn't figure out a lot of things, so he asked Yuan Lao for advice, hoping that he could answer a question or two for himself.
Seeing that Zhang Ling's experience was still shallow, Yuan Lao smiled and patiently explained: "Zhang Ling, it seems that you still underestimate your father-in-law, since he made this decision, it must have been carefully considered, although he broke through to the Holy Realm through this bead at that time, but at that time he was already a one-armed and one-eyed disability, and he had just broken through to the Holy Realm, how could he be the opponent of the hidden master of the Wufu Cliff?"
It is better to put this cultivation of oneself in this spirit bead, pass it on to the most trustworthy heir, and when his heir grows up in the future, maybe there is a glimmer of hope.
I think maybe this Zhang Qian didn't think about who to find to be the heir at the beginning, or he had been waiting for someone destined in this mountain forest, so before you came, his speed of cultivating the spirit bead was very slow, because at that time, he still had a trace of hesitation, until you and Hongyu suddenly came here, and he recognized you for the first time, so he made this decision.
As for why no one has found out about this place, eighty percent is because Zhang Qian has laid a layer of prohibition in advance, after you leave, the monks below the Holy Realm may not be able to discover this place at all, and now in the entire Kyushu Five Dynasties, how many people can go to the Holy Realm and above the realm? Therefore, it is normal that this spirit bead has not been discovered until this moment, so you can refine it with peace of mind. ”
"I see. Zhang Ling finally understood a little after Yuan Lao's pointing.
"But I don't know anything about this Heavenly Bead, how can I make it a part of my own power?" Turning to face the Spirit Bead, he found that Zhang Gan's figure had entered the Spirit Bead, Zhang Ling was puzzled, he didn't know where to start at all.
"This Heavenly Bead is indeed as Zhang Qian said, it is a combination of pros and cons, if you want to control it, you have to be stronger than the spiritual power of the origin of the Spirit Bead, otherwise you will be eaten by it and suck your whole body dry.
However, it seems that there is a solution, that is, to find the corresponding thorough mirror, and the two can be used in a complementary way. ”
Seeing that Zhang Ling was questioning again, Yuan Lao continued to explain patiently.
"Thorough Mirror?" When he heard the three words of Thorough Mirror coming out of Yuan Lao's mouth, Zhang Ling was curious again.
"This Heavenly Bead and the Earth Penetrating Mirror are both extraordinary Dao weapons, the power of the two is one, and it can reach the power of the immortal weapon, I didn't expect this Zhang Qian to get this Heavenly Bead by chance. ”
Yuan Lao looked at the gradually growing Tongtianzhu in front of Zhang Ling's eyes, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he also had a trace of doubt about the true identity of this Zhang Qian, but he didn't tell Zhang Ling this.
"Then Elder Yuan, how on earth can I use the power in the Heavenly Bead without having the Penetrating Mirror?"
At this time, Zhang Ling asked the most critical question.
"You don't have to worry about this, before sacrificing this Babel Bead, Zhang Qian must have prepared everything for you, otherwise he wouldn't have exhausted all his cultivation and vitality to nourish this Babel Bead.
Now the spiritual power contained in this Heavenly Bead is already at the level of the Holy Realm, so before it evolves into an immortal weapon, you can also control the Heavenly Bead with the spiritual power of the Holy Realm left to you by Zhang Qian, because it is already full, and you don't dare to be interested in the cultivation of your body in the Void Realm, understand?"
"It turns out that my father-in-law sacrificed himself as a last resort, in order to fulfill me?
Since the spiritual power and vitality here are extremely abundant, then I will try to integrate the eight exercises here, and by the way, try to manipulate the spiritual power in this place to prepare for the future confrontation with others. ”
Zhang Ling finally understood what was going on at this moment, and was also shocked by the behavior of his father-in-law Zhang Qian, and his heart became more eager to improve the realm, so he came to the ground, sat down cross-legged, and tried to fuse the eight earth-level exercises inside the Tongtian Bead.
If he can succeed, then this Heavenly Bead will become his most handy magic weapon in the future, even if he meets a master of the Spirit Realm, he will have the power to parry.
