Chapter 81: The Elixir of Immortality
"Legends are just legends after all, and I want to hear the full true story. ”
Ding Ning looked at Zhan Maha, who was smiling with emotion, glanced at the purple jade giant tree that was still intact in the battle, and said, "I want to know what is in here." ”
Zhan Maha restrained his smile, looked at Ding Ning with a strange gaze, and mocked slightly: "Since it doesn't matter what you are, then why do I need to tell you the true story?"
"It is necessary. Ding Ning laughed, he didn't look at Zhan Maha, but at Wu Zi who was sitting on the ground, and said, "We may not be your opponents, but we should be able to kill him before you kill us." ”
Zhan Maha glanced at Wu Yanzi with Ding Ning's gaze, and sneered, "Kill him?"
Ding Ning looked at him and said calmly: "Although I don't know why you have to take him here, but since you have been bringing him here and keeping him alive, there must be your reason." ”
Li Xixing and Hu Jingjing were stunned and couldn't help but glance at each other.
Wu Yunzi was also stunned, everyone didn't realize this before, and it wasn't until Ding Ning said such a thing at this time that everyone realized that Wu Xiaozi didn't seem to be of any use for this layout, and seemed to be a complete outsider.
However, secretly colluding with the mistress of the Great Qin Dynasty, opening the ancestral land is not something that needs to witness the glory, someone must be there to witness the matter, Zhan Maha will definitely not be bored to bring an irrelevant person here.
What's more, Wu Zi is the prince of the Wu Clan, and before he is completely 100% sure of getting the things in the ancestral land, it is definitely superfluous to have someone like Wu Zi by his side.
If it's too redundant, there's a reason.
"How old are you?"
Zhan Maha was silent for a moment, shook his head coldly, then looked at Ding Ning, and said very sincerely, "Let you live for more than ten years, who else in the world can beat you?"
Ding Ning's face did not change at all, and he said, "Reputation." ”
Shen Xuan suddenly became nervous, and he coughed up two mouthfuls of blood in a row.
He sensed that the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi around Zhan Maha had changed, but at this moment, Ding Ning turned his head to look at him.
He saw the meaning in Ding Ning's eyes and stopped.
There was a crackling sound.
There was only one voice, but the strange middle-aged man with flesh and whiskers connected to the purple jade giant tree on his body was instantly broken into countless pieces, and the purple-red slime and flesh-like fragments fell to the ground, and the human form could no longer be seen.
Before the voice sounded, a flying sword blooming with countless fine flowers turned into the middle-aged man's body and silently withdrew, flying to Ding Ning's side.
The giant purple jade tree trembled as if it had eaten pain.
Zhan Maha didn't look at the fragments flowing in the purple-red slime, nor did he look at the giant tree, but looked at Ding Ning's flying sword with an expressionless face.
Then he said: "This person used to be the first sword master in the heyday of Tianliang Kingdom in the past, the generalissimo of the Tianliang Army Tuoba had no worries, and the Peerless Wind and Rain Sword was invincible for a while, although you broke his Peerless Wind and Rain Sword, but at this time, he was only seven points at most in his heyday, and he lost his strain, so it is not the same." ”
Ding Ning nodded sincerely, "If it's the heyday... This man is indeed invincible for a while. ”
"When the weather is cool, although the outline of the city here may not be as big as Changling, the powerful cultivators will not be less than Changling, and even less than Changling when the Bashan Sword Field was in its heyday. Zhan Maha was not in a hurry at this time, and said slowly.
Li Xixing, Hu Jingjing and the others all thought of the stone beast that recorded many sword scriptures when they came, and they were sure in their hearts that what Zhan Maha said was indeed the truth.
Ding Ning didn't say anything, just looked at Zhan Maha, waiting for him to continue.
There was a moment of silence.
Zhan Maha didn't speak, just quietly looked at the giant purple jade-like tree.
"This...?"
Hu Jingjing exclaimed again.
There was no change in qi, but at this time, the purple jade giant tree not far from her, Ding Ning and the others was rapidly withering.
The purple fades.
The purple slime inside the giant tree was like a rotten one, oozing out of the tree grain.
The sparkling wood seeped out with the purple slime, turning gray and withered, no different from ordinary rotten wood.
"You may think that this strange tree gave him life. Zhan Maha opened his mouth, looked at the giant tree that began to quickly turn into rotten wood, shook his head indifferently, and said, "However, the truth is the opposite, it is he who gave this tree vitality. ”
While the rest of the people were still shocked and dazed, Ding Ning seemed to have already guessed the answer, looked at the rapidly decaying tree, and said, "So this tree is just like a prison cell for him, imprisoning him here?"
"He leaves the tree, and the tree and he will really die. ”
A hint of cruelty appeared at the corner of Zhan Maha's mouth, and his voice was slightly cold: "The purpose of his existence here is to kill everyone who tries to reach the final truth here. ”
Ding Ning said naturally: "Then what is the truth that you used to be cold in the past, and what is really contrary to the legend?"
Zhan Maha sneered slightly: "It's not a redemption from the plague, it's just a massacre caused by choice from beginning to end. ”
Ding Ning looked at him calmly and said, "I would like to hear it in detail." ”
Zhan Maha sank his eyelids, "Tianliang originated from the ancestral mountain, the ancestral mountain has many spiritual veins, and Tianliang naturally slowly rose from the wasteland and became the first male country outside this pass." It's just that it is only strong for a hundred years, and one day a meteorite fell outside the sky and fell on this ancestral mountain. ”
Ding Ning nodded and said, "This is it?"
Zhan Maha bowed his head indifferently, and continued: "The common meteorites in the desert contain many treasures such as heavenly iron, which are only used for refining, but this meteorite contains the medicinal power that makes people flesh and bones, and when it is smashed into the spiritual vein, it turns into a fountain of immortality. However, the most amazing thing is that there is also a strange thing born in this meteorite, which makes the cultivator not only achieve great progress in cultivation, but also have an almost infinite lifespan, such as true immortality. ”
"Longevity is endless, such as true immortality?"
Hearing such words, not to mention Li Xixing, Hu Jingjing, and Wu Yunzi, even Shen Xuan was shocked and speechless again.
The elixir of immortality only exists in legends, if a cultivator is truly immortal, then with endless cultivation, what kind of cultivation experience will he accumulate, and what kind of existence will he become?
However, at this time, Ding Ning spoke calmly and said, "Is it the same as Tuoba Wuwu, the owner of this peerless wind and rain sword, like turning into grass and trees?"
Zhan Maha withdrew his gaze from the giant tree that had completely decayed, and said, "Similar. ”
Ding Ning thought about it seriously and said, "So in the past, some people in Tianliang wanted to use the things born in that meteorite to become immortal beings, while some people in Tianliang thought that this was against the harmony of heaven, because of their different choices, and eventually led to rebellion and massacre?"
Even though he had a very high opinion of Ding Ning in his heart, seeing that Ding Ning thought about such a thing very easily as easily as he pulled out a cocoon, the shock in his heart became stronger and stronger.
He nodded and said indifferently: "At that time, the meteorite fell and formed the Fountain of Immortality, which was a source of blessing from heaven for Tianliang, but it was also a huge change, and the Tianliang Emperor naturally blocked it at that time, and not everyone could approach it, so when the things born in the meteorite were discovered, the first thing that could not help but use it was the Tianliang Imperial Family." ”
"Since it is like an elixir of immortality, even if the body becomes like a non-flesh body, it is not a very terrible thing for a cultivator. Ding Ning looked at Zhan Maha and said, "The emperor used it, and the people below did it, presumably because this elixir of immortality is not so good, I'm afraid there is anything bad?"
Zhan Maha glanced at Ding Ning deeply, did not deny it, and said slowly: "It's just that that thing is like a living being, using that thing, although it can be immortal, even if it is seriously traumatized, it can recover quickly, but some of your consciousness will disappear, and there will be more different consciousness... To put it simply, there will be a drastic change in temperament, as if you have become a completely different person. ”
Hu Jingjing gasped, felt a little cold on his body, and unconsciously approached Li Xixing.
"It's like becoming someone else, like being in one's own past has completely changed, the feelings and opinions about friends, relatives, and even lovers around you have changed, familiar people have become strangers, even enemies... This is indeed a terrible thing, and it is naturally unacceptable to the vast majority of people. Ding Ning took a deep breath and said slowly.
Zhan Maha sneered and said, "The point is that it is acceptable to some people. ”
