Chapter 180: The Burden
"You're waiting for me outside. ”
In front of the door, Yang Ningfeng said to Yang Tiedan.
"Yes. ”
Yang Tie bent down and stood by the door.
After hesitating for a moment, Yang Ningfeng gently pushed the door in.
In the room, there was silence, and the Great Elder in gray and white clothes was sitting directly on the ground, sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, as if meditating.
When he walked into this room, Yang Ningfeng felt that a trace of energy was like a spider web all over every part of the room, and he knew that when he entered this room, it was impossible for any conversation of the people in the room to pass out of this room.
"Great Elder!"
Yang Ningfeng walked up to the Great Elder and bowed respectfully.
"Hehe, here, please take a seat!"
The Great Elder also smiled slightly, his closed eyes slowly opened, and a pair of pupils did not have the slightest cloudy color unique to the old man, but were unusually deep and full of wisdom.
Yang Ningfeng nodded respectfully, and then sat directly on the ground, sitting opposite the Great Elder.
This room is very simple, so simple that there is no furniture in the room, not even tables and chairs, it is empty, you can only sit on the ground, it is estimated that this room is also one of the places where the Great Elder usually retreats.
"Great Elder, you urgently summoned me back, but you told me to do it?" Yang Ningfeng stopped beating around the bush, and asked straight to the point as soon as he sat down.
"Definitely. ”
The Great Elder nodded: "You should have thought of what happened just now, it was a small test for you, but it wasn't what I meant, it was what they meant, and of course, it was also a competition between you and Tang Chong." If you lose, don re-go, tie or you win, then you go. I'm relieved now that you won...... You should have reached the peak level of the second stage candidate by now, right?"
"Hmm. Yang Ningfeng hesitated slightly, then nodded again, he had already shown his cultivation unreservedly in the battle with Tang Chong, with the ability of the Great Elder, how could he not see it? Even if he didn't fight Tang Chong, Yang Ningfeng felt that the Great Elder could know the moment he stepped into this room.
"It's really rare, it's really rare to be able to cultivate to this level without using the resources of our Heavenly Dragon Sect at all, but I have high hopes for you, your current strength is not enough. The Great Elder was very pleased and appreciative: "I have been in the Heavenly Dragon Sect for so many years, you are the most talented disciple I have ever seen, a little higher than Chu Qianyi. ”
"The Great Elder has overestimated me!" Yang Ningfeng said respectfully. He knew in his heart that it wasn't really how demonic his talent was, it was because he had adventures that others didn't have, although he also felt that he was a genius, but if he really cultivated with his own talent, he would definitely not reach the level of waiting for the product now, although he was a disciple of the Heavenly Dragon Sect and had not used the resources of the Heavenly Dragon Sect yet, but the resources he had were no worse than the Heavenly Dragon Sect!
Of course, the existence of the sword spirit, the matter of the blood tiger space, he would never say it to the Great Elder.
"You don't have to be humble, but no matter how high your talent is, your current strength is indeed second to none among the younger generation, but I also said just now, I have high hopes for you, so your current strength is really insignificant, so you don't need to be humble, let alone proud. The Grand Elder shook his head.
"I am willing to listen to the guidance of the Great Elder, and I am also willing to accept the cultivation of the Great Elder!" Yang Ningfeng's face became solemn. The Great Elder actually said that, so calling him back this time is probably related to improving his strength.
"I can't talk about guidance and cultivation, what I'm doing is just for the Heavenly Dragon Sect. ”
The Great Elder sighed lightly, and after pondering for a while, he said: "You have entered the Ancient Talk Pavilion, you should also know that the Chongyuan Continent is no longer the Chongyuan Continent that had the era of Emperor Rank powerhouses before, and now the most powerful Continent is just the Saint Rank Strong, and the rest of the people have disappeared, life and death are unknown, including our sect master." ”
Yang Ningfeng listened quietly and no longer answered.
"My high hopes for you are not just that I hope that your strength can rush to a certain height, but I hope that you can become the hope of the Heavenly Dragon Sect, I hope that you can find the sect master, if you can't find it, you can bravely take on the heavy responsibility of the sect master and become the new sect master of the Heavenly Dragon Sect. The Great Elder's face also became serious.
These words surprised Yang Ningfeng, he didn't expect that the high hopes that the Great Elder said were so heavy, and he suddenly felt the weight on his shoulders, extremely heavy.
"Don't you feel like a heavy burden?" the Great Elder said with a smile when he saw Yang Ningfeng's expression suddenly become solemn.
"Definitely. Yang Ningfeng nodded solemnly.
"The burden is heavy, it is pressure, but it is also motivation, I hope you don't refuse, the current Tianlong Sect...... My hope is only in you, and if you fail, the Heavenly Dragon Sect will be finished. The Great Elder said.
"What about Chu Qianyi?" Yang Ningfeng suddenly asked.
Chu Qianyi was the most outstanding disciple of the Heavenly Dragon Sect and the founder of the Heavenly Dao Sect.
"He is indeed a peerless genius, whether it is talent, ability and strength, in fact, he should have been the best person to take over as the sect master. Between you and him, if you start at the same time, you will be a little stronger than him, but now that he has grown, you are still weak and pitiful compared to him now. It's just that this person is too crazy and conceited, and at the same time his ambition is too big, so big that no one can control it, and he can't control it, the position of the sect master of the Tianlong Sect is no longer in his eyes, he wants to be the overlord of the world, the first person in the mainland. ”
There was a trace of regret in the eyes of the Great Elder: "Such a person, if the Heavenly Dragon Sect falls into his hands, it is definitely not the blessing of the Heavenly Dragon Sect, and the Heavenly Dragon Sect can only become a tool for him to conquer the world, even if he succeeds and becomes the first person in the mainland, the Heavenly Dragon Sect will eventually be destroyed by him and directly wiped out." ”
Yang Ningfeng was silent! He was asking himself, if his own strength also reached the point of being like Chu Qianyi, would he also have such great ambitions?
"You also have ambitions, and you also want to be the first person in the mainland, but if you become the first person in the mainland, the way you treat the Heavenly Dragon Sect will be completely opposite to Chu Qianyi. If you become the first person, the Heavenly Dragon Sect will be even stronger and more prosperous, and you will become the god of the Heavenly Dragon Sect. The Great Elder looked at Yang Ningfeng, his eyes were like electricity, and he seemed to see through the thoughts in Yang Ningfeng's heart at this time: "This is my intuition, but I trust my intuition, so I chose you instead of him." ”
"The Great Elder's love has been taken to heart, and if that day really comes, I believe that I will never let the Great Elder down. ”
When the Great Elder said this, he didn't need to be modest, since he had become a disciple of the Heavenly Dragon Sect, he should take on the responsibility of a disciple of the Heavenly Dragon Sect, since the Great Elder had placed such a big responsibility on him, then all he had to do now was to accept it bravely.
What he said was a statement.
The Great Elder smiled, smiling very happily, he knew that Yang Ningfeng had accepted his arrangement, accepted this responsibility, and took over this burden.
"As the saying goes, the stronger the strength, the greater the responsibility, but in other words, since I put such a big responsibility in your hands, of course, I must do everything possible to use all resources to improve your strength, otherwise, the weight of this responsibility will directly overwhelm you. It's not to scare you, if I announce to the public now that you are the successor of the sect master of the Heavenly Dragon Sect, I dare to say that you will not live for more than three days. The Great Elder said.
"The disciple understands. Yang Ningfeng nodded. This was the first time he had so respectfully proclaimed himself a disciple in front of the Great Elder, because he had already decided to take on this heavy responsibility, he was only at this time, at least in his heart, that he was a true disciple of the Heavenly Dragon Sect at this time.
"Well, so I called you back this time to improve your strength, and I plan to let you enter the Thousand Cloud Tower. The Great Elder said, "But the Qianyun Pagoda is only open for the first time, and only nine disciples who are no more than twenty-seven years old and whose strength is not lower than the eighth rank of Wang Pin cultivation can enter. However, there are many disciples of the Heavenly Dragon Sect, and there are many geniuses, and there are more than nine people who are not more than twenty-seven years old but whose strength is above the cultivation of the eighth rank of Wang Pin, so, for the sake of fairness, the Thousand Cloud Pagoda will start to open the Demon Sand Realm before it is opened, and all the disciples who meet the conditions and want to enter the Thousand Cloud Pagoda can participate, and whoever can come out alive and score in the top nine will be qualified to enter the Thousand Cloud Pagoda, and the sect has already decided that the Demon Sand Realm will be opened the day after tomorrow, if you don't come back today, I plan to send someone to bring you back!"
"Demon Sand Realm!" Yang Ningfeng's eyes narrowed: "I will definitely enter the top nine." ”
"Well, it's okay to be in the top nine when the Demon Sand Realm comes out, it doesn't matter if you take the first place or not, but it's different after entering the Thousand Cloud Tower, but how it is, you will naturally know when the Thousand Cloud Pagoda opens. ”
As he spoke, the Great Elder suddenly flipped his wrist, and a small jade brocade box appeared in the palm of his hand, and then handed it to Yang Ningfeng.
"What is this?" Yang Ningfeng was stunned and reached out to take it, but he didn't open it immediately.
"This is the Jin Xuan Hun Heavenly Pill. ”
The Great Elder said, " Just now I won a bet with Tang Chong's master, Elder Gu, on the battle between you and Tang Chong, but it is useless to you, only those who have cultivated the Nine Turns Golden Body Formula can take it, and it can increase the cultivation of a hundred years within three years after taking it, it was obtained by Elder Gu in an ancient ruin when he was young, and it has always been regarded as a treasure, more important than his life, but none of the apprentices he accepted were cultivating the Nine Turns Golden Body Technique, so he never used it, but this time he knew that there was a person by your side who cultivated the Nine Turns Golden Body Technique, plus he was also very fond of you, saying that it was a bet, it was actually a sign of his support for you。 ”
"Such a valuable thing...... Great Elder, thank Elder Gu for me and Tie Gu, and if I have the opportunity, I will thank him in person. ”
Yang Ningfeng suddenly felt that the jade box in his hand was suddenly heavy, a pill that could increase people's cultivation for a hundred years, it was definitely the level of the legendary elixir elixir!
But although this Dan is precious, he did not push back, he accepted it generously, accepted Elder Gu's kindness, accepted Elder Gu's support, and at the same time, he was indeed very eager to improve Yang Tiedan's strength, he had no good way for the time being, but with this Dan, it was different.
He carefully put the jade box into the purple spirit space, and then asked, "Great Elder, where is Xiao Jin?"
"He's in retreat right now. The Great Elder knew that Yang Ningfeng would definitely ask this, and said, "You can't meet him for the time being!"
"Retreat, how long is the retreat?" Yang Ningfeng was stunned.
"Maybe, his monkey god bloodline seems to be fully awakened, and it is very likely that he will not be able to get out of the customs until he is fully awakened. The Great Elder said.
"That's good...... Great Elder, then I'll go back first!"
Yang Ningfeng felt very disappointed that he couldn't meet Xiao Jin right away, he really missed this little guy, but when he learned that the bloodline in his body might all awaken after this retreat, he was happy for Xiao Jin again.
"Okay, the day after tomorrow, I will send someone to take you to the entrance of the Demon Sand Realm. Also, you are now a dragon disciple and already have your own place to live, and someone will take you there when you go out. ”
The Great Elder nodded, his eyes slowly closed, and in an instant, he seemed to have entered a state of meditation.
Yang Ningfeng stood up, bowed deeply to the Great Elder, and bowed out of the room!
