Chapter 42: The Soul Pool Opens
The cold wind blew on Duan Ling's body, and the original surprise turned into a blow. He suddenly felt that his whole world had become dark, as if everything had lost its appeal to him.
He hadn't opened his mouth for three days, and Xiaopan knew that he was hurt, so he naturally accompanied him silently by his side for three days. During these three days, he thought of many people and many things. thought of how he lived alone in Xiaotian Mountain, and how he followed Duan Ming into the Genting Sect by chance.
"Why am I cultivating immortals?" Duan Ling suddenly realized that he had embarked on this path and didn't know what the reason was, maybe it was because he was envious of those magical spells, maybe it was because he wanted to live a little longer, or maybe he just went with the flow when he encountered it.
"Xiao Pan, why are you cultivating?" Duan Ling asked as he sat under a big tree and looked towards Xiao Pan beside him.
"I don't know, big brother. Xiao Pan, who was quietly accompanying Duan Ling, heard him finally speak, and knew that Duan Ling's mood must have improved a little.
"But the eldest brother's question is too profound. Xiao Pan thought with a confused expression. It never thought about why it cultivated, it only knew that it had all the inheritances in its mind from the day it was born, and it was just cultivating day by day according to the inheritances in its mind.
"But big brother, in my memory, my home seems to be in the Wanzhang Mountain, and when you enter the Spirit Pool, I will go to the Wanzhang Mountain to have a look. If I don't cultivate, I won't be able to enter Wanzhang Mountain. I think I practiced, maybe to go home. ”
"What about me, what am I for?" Duan Ling fell into confusion.
The figures of all the people in the Yunding Sect flashed in his mind, and he thought of Wang Hu and Qing Shui, if he didn't cultivate, Wang Hu and Qing Shui would have killed him a long time ago. He thought of Los Angeles again, that was the place where he and Chen Susha confirmed their relationship, and where he blocked a slap for Chen Susha, a slap that almost killed him.
He thought of Wang Pang and Zhou Ning, and thought of how he had frustrated Zhou Ning's spirit in the Yunding Sect. If he didn't practice, perhaps Wang Pang would suffer endless torture until he died.
"I have to practice, I'm weak, I can't protect my friends, I'm weak, I can't save my life. Duan Ling felt that he already had a hazy answer in his heart.
"It's not just Chen Susha in my world. I still have relatives and friends, and I can't bear to leave them. And Chen Susha is just a passerby in my life, maybe it once made my heart move and make my heart ache, but I can't change anything anymore. ”
Duan Ling's figure leaned against the tree, although he had understood all the truths, he was still uncomfortable in his heart, and the more he wanted to forget, the clearer it became. He closed his eyes as if he had fallen asleep, and remained motionless, and the day passed like this.
The fog in the lake became thicker and thicker, the water rolled faster and faster, and the plume of smoke became more condensed. Where it meets the sky, there are streamers of light passing down the pillar of smoke.
"Big brother, the Spirit Pool is about to open. Xiao Pan saw the pillar of smoke with a streamer, and reminded Duan Ling, who was leaning against the tree with his eyes closed.
"It's not about forgetting, it's about facing it, it's just a hurdle in my life. Duan Ling opened his eyes, and there was already a lot less decadence in his eyes.
He looked at the pillar of smoke with a more resolute look on his face, no matter what, he had to be mortal in this spiritual pool.
"Big brother, go ahead, and when the Spirit Pool is opened, you can enter it. But you have to be quicker, it turns on and offs quickly. ”
"Xiaopan, why do you know so much?" Duan Ling was a little surprised.
"I don't know, but I just seem to know in my head. ”
"But how do we get out?"
"As long as a certain amount of time has passed, all the life in the Avatar Pool will be teleported. Big brother, although I don't know how this spiritual pool was formed, the inheritance in my mind tells me that it was created by rules. ”
Duan Ling nodded, this kind of technique could indeed only be created by the supreme power of rules.
"Small plate, I'm going. If you encounter danger in Wanzhang Mountain, don't force yourself, and when I come out, I can accompany you to take a look. Duan Ling touched Xiao Pan's head.
Xiao Pan nodded towards Duan Ling, and with a flap of his wings behind him, he flew into the sky and disappeared in an instant.
Duan Ling walked towards the crowd and found the place where the monks of the Genting Sect practiced. Leading the team this time were the Grand Elder of the Genting Sect, Zhuo An, and the Elder of the Dan Sect, Luo Qinghan.
When Luo Qinghan saw Duan Ling, she just nodded at him, she had a good impression of Duan Ling, and she didn't ask how he got here.
Several disciples sitting cross-legged on the ground noticed Luo Qinghan's gaze and looked behind them. When they found that Duan Ling appeared in the place where their gaze was directed, everyone had an extremely surprised look on their faces.
On the day of departure, Duan Ling did not come with them, which also showed that Duan Ling's cultivation at that time had not yet reached the eighth vein. But now Duan Ling actually appeared here so suddenly, which really shocked them. In more than two months, how did he break through the Du Mai, and how did he come here in such a short time?
Everyone who saw Duan Ling had their own guesses in their hearts, and these speculations made Duan Ling even more mysterious in their hearts.
A moment later, in the midst of everyone's exchange of ears, everyone turned their eyes to Duan Ling as others discussed.
"How did he do it in two months?"
"Could it be that he already knew that he could break through in two months and practice while hurrying?" It's just that the person who said this couldn't even convince himself of this reason.
"He's here too?" Although Zhou Ning kept his eyes closed, all the voices around him couldn't escape his ears, he opened his eyes and looked at Duan Ling behind the crowd, a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"It's just right to be here, just in time to kill you in the Spirit Pool, but it saves me a lot of trouble. Zhou Ning smiled happily, what could Duan Ling do if he broke through the Du Pulse, it was just an ant that had just broken through, it was still not enough to see in front of him, this time he didn't have to worry about anything anymore.
At the same time that Zhou Ning looked at Duan Ling, Duan Ling also saw Zhou Ning's gaze at him, which was unconcealed with murderous intent, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was even colder.
"Come on, if you want to kill me, let me see if you have the ability. Duan Ling looked at Zhou Ning, and the eyes of the two of them looked at each other in the air, making this calm atmosphere instantly become tense.
All the disciples knew about the contradiction between Duan Ling and Zhou Ning, and they also knew that Senior Brother Zhou Ning would definitely make a move against Duan Ling in the Spirit Transformation Pool this time.
"It's a pity, although he is a genius, he has a grudge with Senior Brother Zhou Ning, and this time he even dared to come to the Spirit Pool, do you think that Senior Brother will let him go?"
"After all, this person is young, and he actually appeared early, and this time he will definitely fall in the spirit pool. ”
"But no, if you wait for the senior brother to enter the spirit pool, he will have a certain chance to appear again, and now he will fall sooner or later. ”
"Quiet down. Great Elder Zhuo An spoke at this time, and his late stage cultivation dispersed, immediately suppressing everyone's voices.
"This junior brother, although he has not had much contact with him, does not seem to be simple. A handsome man who was closer to Zhou Ning smiled at Duan Ling, as if he had become extremely interested in Duan Ling. He looked at Zhou Ning again, and then continued to turn his head and close his eyes, he was Du Tianyu of the Yunding Sect.
There is also Chen Susha, when she looked at Duan Ling, there was complexity in her eyes, but the complicated color had dissipated in an instant, and was replaced by a firmness, she firmly believed that her choice was not wrong.
Duan Ling looked at everyone's eyes in his eyes, Zhou Ning's coldness, Du Tianyu's interest, Chen Susha's determination, everyone's sighs and ridicule. He sat down slowly, and he no longer cared about everyone's eyes.
The streamer on the smoke column became stronger and stronger, and the streamer seemed to flow down the smoke column from the sky, but it was not transmitted to the lake, but was stored in the smoke column. Streamers of electric snakes flew in the smoke column, which seemed to have become a container for storing the electric snake streamer.
The water of the lake was tumbling even more violently, as if a fire was getting stronger and stronger under the bottom of the lake, and it was about to boil the whole lake.
Above the sky connected by the pillars of smoke, several dark clouds began to converge, shrouding the lake in shadow. At the moment when all the dark clouds converged, an extremely thick thunderbolt slashed directly into the pillar of smoke, and the flying electric snakes were attracted to the thunder and lightning as if they were attracted, making it even thicker.
"Everyone, please note that there will only be a few breaths to open this time, and you must rush into the spirit pool at the fastest time. Luo Qinghan said to everyone.
The crowd sitting on the ground got up one after another, and in excitement and nervousness, they watched the thunder and lightning rushing down from the smoke column.
"I want to be extraordinary, I want to be the strongest in my family. ”
"I must get out of the ordinary, whoever stands in my way will die. ”
"I want to be extraordinary, I want my name to spread throughout Nanling. ”
......
One by one, voices shouted loudly in everyone's hearts, looking at the thunder and lightning that was falling rapidly, everyone's eyes were blazing, and everyone couldn't help but clench their fists.
The boiling surface of the lake suddenly became calm, and a straight line cut a ravine on the surface of the lake with the pillar of smoke as a dot. A large amount of water in the ravine kept tumbling and pushing away on both sides, as if to split the lake directly into two petals.
The ravine grew wider and wider, and many monks stepped on their flying swords and rose into the air, their eyes fixed on the cracks in the lake. At the bottom of the crack, the lake was still boiling, but the real bottom of the lake was still hidden under the water.
At this time, the thunder and lightning in the smoke pillar are getting thicker and thicker, until finally a thunder and lightning giant axe is formed, the giant axe goes straight down with the smoke pillar, the speed is getting faster and faster, and the electric snake on it is swirling, with the domineering power of the earth-shattering stone directly on the ravine, the axe just extends along the ravine, in a deafening sound, the ravine instantly fell thousands of zhang, the bottom of the ravine, a faint white light lit up, a moment later, the ravine has been covered by all the light.
"It's now. I don't know who shouted. I saw that many monks stepping on flying swords in mid-air flew away like arrows from the string, and for a while, there were already dense figures in the ravine.
