Chapter 889: Two Years Ago
This thousand star chart is not something that can be remembered after two glances.
The stars on it are slowly rotating according to certain laws all the time, if it is just rote memorization, it can be said that it is useless, and it will only add countless troubles to yourself when condensing the star pill.
It is necessary to remember with the soul and engrave it into the depths of the sea of knowledge, not just on the surface, but on the actual rules.
This is extremely draining, Nangong Fan just wrote down the hundred or so stars closest to the core and completely lost his spirit, the whole person was drowsy, and there was a dead silence in his pupils.
He was tired, more tired than the two big demons in a day.
"It's a pity, but it's supposed to be a scene that happens every night, so don't panic too much. Nangong Fan sat on the ground, "But my soul is tempered in that void world, and even the most important human soul among the three souls, I have to give a little hint to 'myself' who is now in a trance." β
As he spoke, he left a line of writing on the ground with his fingers and fell asleep.
......
"Hmm!"
With a mutter, Nangong Fan woke up from his slumber. He had just opened his pupils, and he was full of confusion.
He hadn't slept so comfortably for a long time, and who could sleep peacefully since he stepped into the treacherous rivers and lakes? No matter what, he had to keep an eye on his mind, lest he would be in a different place without knowing anything. Even most practitioners are accustomed to meditating instead of sleeping. However, when the mind is tired, it is better to sleep deeply.
After a while, Nangong Fan woke up from his confused state.
"Why did I just fall asleep?"
He touched his cheek and had to sigh that he was so fat. fell into a deep sleep in the jungle, let alone him, even the spiritual path cultivators did not dare to act like this, and the slightest negligence was divided by the demon beast five horses.
Nangong Fan's fingertips touched a stone, and he subconsciously looked down. The whole person almost jumped up in fright, "Hmm... Got a word?"
He looked at it for a moment, and his face grew strange.
"Right here, don't leave?"
"Who the hell are you! What are you talking about, do I want to lose face?"
Nangong Fan was indignant, using this to cover up the fear in his heart. After all, this person can leave such a string of words while he is asleep, and it doesn't take much effort to solve himself by the way.
From this point of view, this person probably has no malicious intent, otherwise he probably wouldn't have seen the sun today.
"Speaking of the sun..."Nangong Fan raised his head, the sun was hanging high in the sky, obviously at noon at this time, "Have you slept for so long?"
A little glint appeared between his eyes, which was a part of the Thousand Stars Chart that was deeply engraved into his heart.
"It seems that I remembered that it took me too much to fall asleep with this star map. β
Nangong Fan took a deep breath, and for some reason, he really didn't have the slightest intention of leaving here. However, he still didn't have the slightest intention of admitting defeat, "There are no demon beasts here... There is also the formation that trapped me, and I can't leave if I want to. Let's see what the hell you're going to do!"
He knew that change would only happen at nightfall, and at the thought of this, he immediately meditated on his knees.
Now that you've made a decision, let's take this opportunity to practice well!
......
The tail of the sun still hangs high in the western sky, and night is just about to fall. Nangong Fan opened his eyes.
"The night is coming. β
At this moment, he was not sure if the night was the only requirement to trigger the manifestation of the star map, but at this moment, he also understood the importance of the star map.
Five points of excitement, five points of anticipation.
The night completely covered the earth, and under Nangong Fan's concentration, he finally saw it clearly this time.
The giant trees shrank dramatically in the starlight, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into fist-sized trees. Vaguely, it seems to be echoing with the stars in the sky.
Fly!
All the giant trees that had become smaller flew up in the starlight, and soon they were pieced together into a magical starlight map.
At this time, Nangong Fan suddenly had a little memory in his mind.
Yesterday, under the Thousand Stars Chart, he looked up at the starry sky like this, and engraved the stars into the depths of his sea of consciousness little by little. At first, everything went well, and it can be said that in a few breaths, the main star and the two nearest stars were deeply imprinted, but then the speed became slower and slower.
After all, the number of two or three stars is still relatively rare, and it will naturally be much easier to make them independent of each other and self-contained. And once the number increases, the more messages to be engraved, so to speak, multiply.
"Yesterday there were more than 100 stars, and today it is estimated that 50 is the limit. And if you want to remember all these more than 1,000, I don't know how long it will take. β
Nangong Fan licked his lips and stared at the starlight in mid-air slowly dispersing.
He suspected that if it were to reach the number of hundreds, perhaps it would take a night to just imprint the position of one. In that case, you might have to stay here for a few months.
"Is it worth it?"
Nangong Fan suddenly set off a little memory in his mind, and he realized at this time that his memory was not gone, but it was covered with dust for some reason, as long as he encountered the corresponding scene, he would naturally be inspired to open part of his memory.
His heart was shocked, and at the same time he carefully pondered the memories that surged up at this momentβ
If the star realm exceeds three hundred stars, it will not be able to transform into an ordinary spirit, and can only move forward on that rugged road.
And where that road leads, no one knows yet.
"In that case... Am I just going to have to engrave 300 stars?"
It is indeed a good thing to have a full sleep once the soul is exhausted, but for many days in a row, it has been so boring, and it is actually an extremely cruel thing.
Nangong Fan naturally retreated slightly, even if he suspected that this miraculous Thousand Star Map might be the road that no one had taken, but he still wanted to move forward on the path of his predecessors.
After all, the five realms of the mundane, the spiritual, the sacred, the Shinto, and the condensation are extremely mature, and as long as they are gifted enough, they can move forward bravely on this path. Why go down the unknown path?
What's more, there are thousands of stars in front of him, and the ghost knows if there are 10,000,000,000,000 stars on that road, and the mundane realm only has a longevity of 10,000 years, and ordinary people can't live that long, and those who can live for 8,000 years are considered extremely long-lived people. In such a short period of time, it is simply impossible to condense so many stars.
"Let's remember the star map of the three hundred stars first!" Nangong Fan immediately made a decision, if he couldn't find a way out in the future, he would talk about other things.
Anyway, being idle is also idle.
At this point, the Thousand Stars Chart is fully unfolded in mid-air.
Nangong Fan immediately concentrated his attention, used his divine thoughts to pull the stars to be recorded, and memorized every autobiography and revolution in his heart, so as to leave an imprint on his mind.
Before the sky was completely bright, Nangong Fan sat on the ground with a pale face.
"Forty-three... The speed has dropped dramatically even more than I had imagined. β
Nangong Fan took a deep breath, he didn't care if the ground was clean or not, and suddenly slumped on it, at this time he just wanted to sleep well.
......
Before the sun moved to the middle position, Nangong Fan came to his senses with a refreshed face.
In this way, even 300 stars may take ten days and half a month. β
He silently analyzed the situation in front of him, and suddenly a look of surprise appeared in his pupils.
"Speaking of which, such a boring process is not without progress in cultivation. At the very least, I can feel that it seems to be a little longer than yesterday, and at the same time, it seems to be a little more sober than in the morning.
Nangong Fan is happy in the midst of hardship, remembering that the star map is already an inevitable thing, and he is extremely satisfied to be able to make other progress in it. In this regard, he decided to time it tonight to make the surprise bigger.
"If you don't cultivate these days, it's actually not much of a problem. β
He licked his lips and stood up from the ground, deciding to find a way out while the star map was hidden during the day.
As soon as he raised his leg, he lowered his pace again and frowned deeply, "What if you can't go back to this point after leaving this area, and you happen to be able to observe the star map at this point?"
Thinking of this, he gave up the idea of looking for a way back at this moment, and at least had to wait for the three hundred stars to be remembered before trying. If you miss out on this kind of creation, you may not be able to get it again. At least, for him who couldn't see what was hidden in it.
When night fell, he opened his pupils suddenly, looked up at the sky that had shown starlight, and silently waited for the star map to unfold.
......
In the blink of an eye, five days have passed.
At this time, not long after the sun just brightened, Nangong Fan completely woke up from his sleep.
In the process of memorizing the star map, not only did he remember those shining stars, but it was also a great tempering for his soul. Not only has it become more resilient, but even its resilience has improved dramatically.
He touched the tip of his nose and smiled bitterly, "Sure enough, people are forced out." β
Remembering the star map for a full week, he had already memorized more than three hundred stars at this time, and the first goal was successfully achieved, and it was up to him to decide whether to continue or not.
A rare trace of fear flashed between Nangong Fan's pupils at this time, not to mention the rest, just the whole person's mind was exhausted, and he fell asleep directly. The first two times I felt very novel, especially the moment of awakening, the satisfaction of being full of soul cannot be described in words.
But after getting used to it, you can feel the bad feeling after the load of the divine soul very clearly, like a blunt knife falling on the divine soul, although it is not fatal, but it is even more uncomfortable.
"It's really not human. β
Nangong Fan spewed out a mouthful of saliva, he knew that his spirit was more tenacious, and his recovery efficiency had also been greatly enhanced, which could be seen from the fact that it was only early in the morning.
But he still doesn't want to go on like this, who wants to endure it.
He jerked up from the ground and decisively left the area he hadn't left for a week.
With the star map of three hundred stars, he was already satisfied, and now it was time to leave. Not to mention continuing to look for Guangye, at least you have to find other races. At that time, it is much more convenient to go to a distant place, or to go back to a small mountain village.
What's more, after staying in this mountain field for so long, his mouth is about to fade out, and he can't wait to taste the delicious food.
"Bang!"
Just a few steps away, Nangong Fan crashed headlong into an invisible barrier.
This was truly invisible, not even a little fluctuating, he hadn't noticed it before.
He was dizzy, and it was not easy for him to come back to his senses.
"I'm imprisoned?" Nangong Fanne said, until this time he didn't see where the barrier was.
"There's something evil here. β
He muttered, then gently stretched out his palm.
Sure enough, there was an invisible barrier in front of us. Judging from the weight of his head before, trying to break it with his own strength is tantamount to a dream.
Nangong Fan caressed the barrier with his palm and slowly moved. Soon he was walking a full circle.
The barrier is circular in shape, confined to the small area inside.
"It seems that I am forced to memorize all the star charts!" Nangong Fan thought of the handwriting on the palm of his hand after waking up the first night, and suspected that someone had once again laid a trap in this natural maze.
"Good guy, it's really good for me!"
As long as Nangong Fan thought of the feeling of being depleted, he had a splitting headache.
But the man had to bow his head under the eaves, and after a tentative circle, he had to fall back to the same place.
"Hey, you let me remember, I don't. I'd like to see, what can you do with me?"
Nangong Fan crossed his knees on the ground and said angrily.
Or did he have some kind of suspicion and wanted to test something?
"It's safe here, anyway, so I'll retreat here and wait until I can break down the barrier. β
Nangong Fan's mouth was full of confidence, but in fact, his heart was empty.
He knew that he had a lot of food in his ring, but in his memory, holding on for another two or three months was the limit, and if he really consumed it like this, he would only suffer in the end.
When the black curtain came, even if the starlight fell on him, he still didn't open his eyes and look at the star map, he could only clearly see that a little spiritual light was gathering around him, and it was being absorbed into his body little by little, turning into his own power.
In the blink of an eye, it was dawn.
When the first rays of sunlight hit this slightly empty place, Nangong Fan suddenly opened his eyes.
He lowered his head for the first time, his palm swiped slightly, and he could only vaguely see the handwriting left a week ago, and there was no new trace. At the same time, the spirit and spirit are at the peak of the state...
Nangong Fan muttered in his mouth, "I don't have that feeling... I really didn't look at the star chart last night. Am I really wrong?"
He was testing something, and he seemed to have doubted who had left the handwriting. Or maybe you realized that you didn't observe the star map on the first day, and the next day you suddenly knew the importance of these things, and memorized a hundred of them, which is an extremely eerie thing.
However, everything was dust, and he did not see the depths.
Nangong Fan sighed faintly, looked up at the sun who had just revealed his figure, and sat down cross-legged.
The aura is stirring, and the sun is gathering.
Suddenly, there was a little roar in his dantian, and his whole body trembled.
When everything is calm, the sun has only one tail left, and the night has a tendency to descend again.
It wasn't until the black slowly climbed into the void that Nangong Fan finally opened his eyes, his face was full of strangeness, "Although, fighting with the cat demon in front of me and running for my life, I can feel the extremely obvious progress... But just broke through to the peak, and the foundation is still extremely solid, which is really..."
He didn't know what to say for a moment. He didn't even know if he should be happy or not, this breakthrough was too weird, and he wasn't ready for it at all.
"However, after the breakthrough, the Divine Soul has increased a little insignificant, so I guess the efficiency of the Star Map can be a few points faster, right?"
Nangong Fan thought about the food in his purse, but he finally relented.
Mainly here, in addition to inscribed the star map to enter the sea of knowledge, there is only a boring way of cultivation, in comparison, he feels that it is better to completely remember this star map.
Not to mention whether to take this path that no one has succeeded on today, it is enough to increase knowledge.
The star map is not only as simple as the star map, but also a part of the truth of heaven and earth. No matter how you look at it, the pros outweigh the cons.
Nangong Fan started this night and started his boring and torturous journey again.
......
Nine days ago.
On the only avenue leading to the outside world in the small mountain village, a small donkey appeared, and on top of it sat Guang Ye, who was going to the town to learn information.
Of course, whether he went to the town or not, only God knows.
Speaking of which, the night before, Nangong Fan had just left this small mountain village that had only existed for a long time because of its remoteness, and if it was according to the time of the two, they should actually meet on the road.
He looked complacent. rode the crappy little donkey back to his yard.
In front of the door, there was a village girl standing, carrying a lunch box, her face full of anxiety.
"Hey, little Nizi, I'm back, you don't have to come to deliver food anymore. Guangye bared his white teeth.
"Village Chief!" the girl breathed a sigh of relief, "the man you asked me to take care of..."
"It's okay, you go first!" Guang Ye shook his head.
The girl's face was slightly red, she nodded, put down the lunch box in her hand, and left with three turns in one step.
Guang Ye's pupils twitched slightly, looking at this uninhabited courtyard as if he was smiling, and murmured softly, "This kid is brave enough, no wonder he can have such cultivation at such a young age!" However, it's time to teach you a lesson." β
Then he scratched his head, turned his head to look in the direction he had returned, and then opened the courtyard and entered it.
Faintly audible.
"Nangong Fan, Nangong Fan. It actually involved two great gods in a big battle outside the sky two years ago...?"
