Chapter 1620: Chapter 66: Another Conversation with the Martial Saint, the Remarkable Ji Xuan!
National Master Mansion.
At the dining table.
Jiang Ning suddenly paused with something in hand.
"Dongling Marquis, how about coming here to have a seat and drink some tea?" A gentle and familiar voice rang in his ear.
"It’s him!!" Jiang Ning’s mind flashed with a thought, and the figure of the Great Xia Martial Saint appeared in his mind.
"Ah Ning, what’s the matter?" Liu Wanwan suddenly asked.
Hearing this, Jiang Ning returned to his senses and looked at his sister-in-law.
"Sister-in-law, I need to go out for a while, the Martial Saint is looking for me."
Hearing this, Jiang Li, who had just put down his bowl and chopsticks, suddenly had his pupils slightly constricted.
The words "Martial Saint" are a myth, a legend.
Jiang Yiming’s eyes also revealed slight surprise.
Then, Jiang Ning stood up, bid farewell to a few people, and went to look outside the hall.
The Martial Saint wanted to see him.
Although the words were gentle and his opinion was asked.
But he knew, this was the respect the Great Xia Martial Saint now gave him, and not a reason for his own pride.
The Martial Saint wanted to see him, and he had no reason not to see him.
A thought flashed in his mind, and he took a step forward, instantly disappearing from the spot.
When his figure appeared, he was already outside the National Master Mansion, and then he walked towards the outskirts of the city.
A few breaths later, his figure appeared outside the Royal Capital.
The formation covering the entire Royal Capital now seemed like nothing before him, unable to sense his comings and goings.
After leaving the Royal Capital, his speed increased, and in just a dozen breaths of time, he arrived at the peak that thrusts into the clouds like a Divine Sword.
Landing on the peak, he looked up at the night sky overhead.
This was his third time coming to this place, and compared to the first two times, this time he could clearly feel the difference in the space above.
Seeing ripples fluctuating in the void, he sensed another world above in the Mingming.
"That feeling should be the entrance to the Grotto Heaven." He murmured to himself.
Feeling the fluctuations overhead, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
"Shangyang Cave Heaven..."
At that moment.
Suddenly, a will descended from the void overhead.
With the descent of this will, the void also fluctuated.
The next moment, this fluctuation enveloped him.
He could clearly feel that facing this fluctuation was no longer as powerless as before.
His heart feeling told him that with just a slight struggle, he could break free from the enveloping space fluctuation.
"Completely different from before!" A thought flashed through his mind.
He did not resist but instead allowed the fluctuation to envelop him.
The void changed, the world turned upside down.
He saw himself traversing layer upon layer of space, his body quivering as time and space changed.
The top was not a dusky night, but a clear sky.
A great sun hung high above, it was noon.
The familiar straw hut lay ahead.
Within the straw hut, there was an aura that secretly astonished him.
In the previous two times, he did not have this feeling, but this time, across the straw hut and the wall, he could sense the overwhelming aura ahead.
"It seems, the gap between him and me is closing!"
"The gap was too wide before, like a frog at the bottom of a well, unable to see the vastness of the world."
"Now being able to see the vastness of the world shows that my progress during this period has indeed been significant."
He silently thought, stepping towards the straw hut.
Crossing the threshold, the scene remained the same as the last time he saw it.
An old man with white hair and a slight hunch sat in the straw hut, in front of him was a red mud small stove, with a pot of tea brewing on it.
The pot was bubbling at this moment, with boiling steam rising like smoke and mist.
"Greetings, Senior!" Jiang Ning respectfully saluted the old man in front of him.
"Very good!" The old man looked at Jiang Ning, nodding with satisfaction: "The curse, nowadays should pose no threat to you, right?"
"Senior’s sharp eyes, this young man indeed no longer fears the Curse Killing Skill." Hearing the elder’s words, Jiang Ning admitted frankly.
He understood that the old man before him had oppressed the world for over eight hundred years, being the towering mountain over all Cave Heaven Blessed Lands, keeping the Immortal Dao strongmen of the Cave Heaven Blessed Lands from daring to leave easily for over eight hundred years.
He also brought over eight hundred years of peaceful prosperity to the world.
If not for this old man reaching the end of his life, the world would still maintain peaceful prosperity.
Seeing Jiang Ning’s attitude, the old man nodded again.
"Sit!" He gestured for Jiang Ning to sit down in front of him.
"Thank you, Senior!" Jiang Ning cupped his hands in gratitude.
"Let me!" Watching the old man pick up the teapot to pour into the teacup in front of him, he immediately stood up, wanting to take the teapot with a respectful attitude.
"No need to be so polite!" The old man shook his head at Jiang Ning.
Seeing this, Jiang Ning sat down again, not insisting.
Gurgling —
Tea water, clear with a tinge of green, gradually filled the teacup.
Steam rising, making faces appear blurred.
"I wonder what Senior is looking for me for today?" Jiang Ning asked.
"Just wanted to see you, to check if my previous feeling was correct!" The old man looked at Jiang Ning, with a touch of wistful emotion in his eyes.
Then, he saw Jiang Ning’s doubt and faintly smiled.
"Who would have thought, the Dongling Marquis, seemingly at death’s door in the eyes of the world, has now stepped into the First Grade Unity Realm."
"Did Senior see it?" Jiang Ning said.
"Yes!" The old man nodded, as if it were only natural: "Though your means to conceal your aura are quite profound, at the Unity Realm, where divine power merges with the particles of flesh and blood within, I could still sense it."
"However, rest assured, there are not many in this world who can achieve this insight!"
"I am one, the Sect Hierarch of the Yellow Heaven Sect is one, the temple master of Qingxu Temple is one, the abbot of the Vajra Temple is one, apart from these few, there are no more than three martial artists in the world who can see through your disguise."
