Shui Yue Ke fell silent, if she didn’t have a deep hatred, she would definitely join Yan Ji Ning Cheng. But she couldn’t, she still had a deep hatred, and she had to find a place to shape her dao. If that day came, she would definitely fight her way up to the Nine Turning Sacred Dao Pond to avenge her sister Shui Yuexin.
“Senior sister Yan Ji, how about this. This place is still too close to the Nine Revolutions Sacred Dao Pond, let’s fly for a few months straight, if Ning Cheng still hasn’t woken up, I’ll look for a place to shape my dao.” Shui Yue Ke decided down, if Ning Cheng hadn’t woken up in a few months time, then I was afraid that it would be difficult to wake up.
Without the people from the Nine Turning Sacred Dao Pond chasing after him, it was enough for Ning Cheng to have Yan Ji to take care of him. With people from the Nine Turning Sacred Dao Pond after him, adding a her would be of no help. She did need to go and shape her dao. Without shaping her dao, how could she avenge her sister?
……
Furnace sand, not a material, but the name of a place.
Rumour has it that Furnace Sand got its name because a powerful Dan Saint once refined a potion here. The Dan Saint who was refining the pills destroyed a furnace of pills because he underestimated the difficulty of that one furnace. The materials for this potion were all composed of top-grade heavenly treasures, and this Dan Saint could no longer obtain the materials for such a potion. In a fit of rage, the Dan Saint smashed the entire potion furnace.
When that Dan Saint was refining the pills, he absorbed 90% of this piece of divine spiritual energy away. Later, when he smashed the furnace, the terrifying temperature in the furnace scorched this area into a barren land again.
It became a place with no spiritual plants and no life.
Only after countless years had passed did some life slowly return to this place, and some low-grade spiritual grasses appeared. But the divine spiritual energy here has always been incomparably poor.
Some cultivators who could not cultivate, or who were unable to advance in rank, slowly migrated to this place. Eventually, a settlement group gradually formed in this area. This group of people were all ordinary people with low or even no cultivation level.
In the Tai Su Realm, ordinary people without cultivation means death. So those ordinary people without cultivation, or some ordinary cultivators with low cultivation, would all gather together to live.
Furnace Sand is one such place, where there are many descendants of cultivators who cannot cultivate, or whose cultivation cannot be raised.
The whole Furnace Sand is like a countryside, with some irregular buildings built everywhere. Potion shops, spirit herb shops and magic weapon shops are also all incredibly simple. There were even some grocery shops here. If a cultivator suddenly came to Furnace Sand, he would definitely not believe that this was a place in the Tai Su Realm and would definitely think that this was a corner of the lowest cultivation realm.
In fact, this was indeed a place in the Tai Su Realm, just on the edge of the edge of the Tai Su Realm.
……
The sun is setting in the west!
A number of figures returned one after another from afar, these were ordinary people who had gone to the Black and White Mountain Range in search of cultivation resources as well as cultivators with low cultivation levels.
Those with high cultivation levels usually did not return every day, but stayed in the Black and White Mountain Range.
A woman in grey came from afar, the gradually sloping sunset dragging her figure long. Behind her back, there was also a sleeping man secured by a magic weapon sling.
Her hair was a little dishevelled by the evening breeze, and the slight disarray fell beside her veiled eyes, adding a little more softness to her beauty.
All those who lived in Furnace Sand knew this woman in grey, and knew her name was Yan Ji.
Yes, this woman in grey was none other than Yan Ji. After being with her for half a year, Shui Yue Ke left to forage for the earth to shape the path. Yan Ji had then taken Ning Cheng to a remote place until she arrived at Furnace Sand.
Furnace Sand had a lack of divine spiritual energy and strong people would not come over at all. To Yan Ji, this was the most suitable place for her to survive.
Counting up, Yan Ji had been in Furnace Sand for three years. In the three years, she had never left Ning Cheng alone. Even when she went to the Black and White Mountains in search of cultivation resources, she never put Ning Cheng down.
Thanks to that one Sacred Marrow Fruit, Yan Ji had advanced to the middle stage of the Life and Death realm even in this place where divine Spiritual Qi was incomparably scarce.
In Furnace Sand, Yan Ji’s cultivation level was not considered the highest, but she definitely belonged to the group of people at a high level. Very few people came to provoke her, and occasionally one or two ungrateful cultivators came over, but she did not hesitate to kill them.
Yan Ji had travelled alone from the starry sky to the void, from one star river to another, and had even come to the Tai Su Realm, and she had not relied on anyone for anything. With her own struggle alone, she was able to grow to the Life and Death Realm. The number of life and death kills she had experienced along the way was unknown. She was also incomparably experienced in combat, and she was not afraid of cultivators of the same rank, as long as they were not particularly unbelievable. It wasn’t as if she had never done it before, either.
With someone like her, coming to a corner like the Furnace Sands, she was naturally not afraid of some small foot soldiers.
Originally, Yan Ji was going to rush to the late stage of the Life and Death Realm before she was ready to leave the Black and White Mountain Range. However, recently she had felt that there seemed to be a fluctuation of aura on Ning Cheng’s body, and this fluctuation of aura was becoming stronger and stronger.
Not only was the aura fluctuation getting stronger, Ning Cheng’s flowery white hair was also gradually turning grey, and some of it even started to blacken.
It was because of these changes that Yan Ji felt that Ning Cheng might awaken, and it was only then that she took Ning Cheng away from the Black and White Mountain Range and returned to Furnace Sand.
Half of the Black and White Mountain Range was black clay, and the other half was white clay. This mountain range was only ten thousand miles away from Furnace Sand, and although there were not many High Grade Divine Spirit Grasses in it, there were some not-so-weak High Grade Demonic Beasts because of its vastness.
The distance between the black and white mountain range and Furnace Sand is almost nothing, and there have not been many demonic beasts coming to Furnace Sand, simply because the divine spirit qi of Furnace Sand is too weak, so weak that even the lowest level of demonic beasts are not willing to come over.
If Ning Cheng was to awaken, then he definitely could not continue to stay on her back. Yan Ji was afraid that if there was danger in the Black and White Mountain Range, she would not be able to take care of Ning Cheng for a while, so she brought Ning Cheng back to Furnace Sand in a hurry.
As soon as she entered Furnace Sand, Yan Ji felt that something was not right. It had only been less than two months since she had left Furnace Sand, and there were many unfamiliar faces here. And their cultivation levels were not weak, and she saw several Eternal Realm powerhouses. A few of them even had cultivation levels beyond the Eternal Realm, and she could not tell what the other party’s cultivation level actually was; it should not be weaker than Shaping Dao.
Yan Ji even slightly regretted coming out of the Black and White Mountain Range, but she quickly saw the situation clearly. These people seemed to have come for the Black and White Mountain Range, as people kept entering it, completely ignoring the fact that it was dark.
Yan Ji hurriedly lowered her head and hurriedly walked into the furnace sand.
The messy buildings in some of the better places on the outskirts of Furnace Sand had long since been razed, replaced by some cave mansions that looked much more luxurious. When she arrived at her own place, Yan Ji found that hers had likewise been razed.
Yan Ji did not dare to ask what was going on, and she sped up to leave the place. She was only slightly relieved when her divine sense swept up a group of people who lived in Furnace Sand all year round. These people had had to move away from their original places because their dwellings had been levelled by outsiders. Some of them had sad faces, probably because someone close to them had been killed by the outsiders. It looked as if these outsiders, too, were not killing off all the people.
“Uncle Yu? Why are there many more outsiders?” Yan Ji quickened his pace and came to the side of an old man in the crowd while asking in a small voice.
Uncle Yu’s name was Yu Cai Feng, with a cultivation level of the Star Gathering Realm. This was still because he had been born in the Tai Su Realm and had used divine Spirit Qi to cultivate since he was a child. Otherwise, with his qualifications, I was afraid that it would be difficult for him to even form a domain, let alone Nirvana.
It was just that if he didn’t break through, his longevity would soon reach its peak. With Yu Cai Feng’s ageing meridians and bones, and being in a place like this where there was almost no divine spiritual qi, it would be extremely difficult to break through.
For a cultivator who has not cultivated before and has only just started to cultivate with divine spiritual qi, that standing height is definitely much stronger than that of a cultivator who cultivates with spiritual qi. Divine Spiritual Qi is not omnipotent, it makes you stand even higher, there is also a time when it loses its effect.
Yu Cai Feng sighed and said in a low voice, “I heard that a Dan Furnace was found in the Black and White Forest, this Dan Furnace was left behind by that Dan Saint back then, that Dan Saint’s Dan Furnace wasn’t broken back then. These people came here to look for this Dan Furnace. Some people also say that inside the Dan Furnace is a world with many treasures ……”
Yu Cai Feng sighed as he spoke, “It will be difficult for us to survive here in peace in the future.”
After saying this, he lowered his head and did not reply to Yan Ji’s words again.
Yan Ji’s heart sank, this was the last thing she wanted to see. She had long been content in her heart as she led Ning Cheng here in a peaceful life. These strong outsiders were looking for the Dan Furnace left behind by the Dan Saint, so how could she remain here?
Yan Ji looked back at Ning Cheng who was still not awake behind her, and she knew that she had to go. The lotus jade piece she wore on her chest was gradually fading, if no strong people came here, she didn’t really care. Once a strong person came here and the fact of her Heavenly Fragrance Body was exposed, it would be a disaster.
Just at that moment, a killing intent blasted over with a harshness to the extreme point. Yan Ji had experienced too many lives and deaths, and when this killing intent came over, her scalp exploded a little. At this moment, she did not have time to think about anything more, all her astral energy coalesced, and her entire body turned into a shadow, vanish from the side.
“Boom ……” An explosive killing intent fell, and Yan Ji’s divine sense swept that it was a sword light, which cleaved through the group of people she was in. A mist of blood splashed up, and apart from some cultivators with stronger cultivation levels, most of them disappeared in this sword light.
Yu Cai Feng, who was still sighing before, was also long gone, apparently having fallen in this sword light.
The few people who survived were like birds of prey, so they dared not turn around to say anything, and they all stirred up all their star energy and rushed into the distance.
Yan Ji similarly stirred up his star energy, almost pulling out his most powerful evasion technique, and rushed out diagonally. Faced with such a ruthless person who killed without any reason, what else could one do but to get away as soon as possible?
“Brother Xiong, didn’t you just say that it was possible that the Yin Yang Dan Furnace was not in the Black and White Mountain Range, but in Furnace Sand instead?” A man in a golden cultivator’s robe asked, looking at another brocade clad male cultivator beside him with a smirk.
After asking, he also pointed at the huge gully that had just been split by the sword light, “When I went down with this sword, if there were any treasures down there, there would definitely be breath spilling out, while the truth is that there is nothing but mud down there.”
It looked like he had just slashed out that sword in order to see if there were any treasures down there. As for the hundreds of people that he had casually killed, he didn’t even bother to mention them.
The man who was called Brother Xiong, however, stared at the direction where Yan Ji had fled and said with a frown, “Why do I feel that something is not quite right?”
