Devouring the Stars: Reboot, Serpent of Eternity!

Chapter 434 Teaching

Orianna raised her hand and took the "right character card" into her palm.

"The Water Palace is great. It was built by a Chaos True God and prepared for his disciples to inherit his magical powers. It is a great opportunity in the Three Realms and can be ranked among the famous ones. But for me, it is useless."

With his other empty hand, he turned his palm upwards, and three dazzling crystals appeared in his palm, which he threw to Ji Ning.

Ji Ning hurriedly caught it, his body shaking with excitement... His mother was finally saved!

"Immortal, is this a life-extending elixir? How do I take it?"

"Medicine? No, it contains three methods of refining Qi. You can obtain it by sticking it between your eyebrows and letting your mind penetrate into it. If you use the methods inside to open up the Purple Palace, I will return the Water Palace Talisman to you. For the third-level methods, depending on the difficulty of the Qi refining method you choose, I will give you different additional rewards."

Under normal circumstances, Ji Ning would have been ecstatic. How could the method given by the immortal be bad?

At the moment, Ji Ning had no interest and looked a little anxious.

"Immortal, what about my mother? She doesn't have much time left."

"Ning'er, don't be greedy!" Yuchi Xue couldn't help but scold, and pulled Ji Ning back to her, stroking his head, "Ning'er, don't be willful, practice well with the immortal in the future, mother will leave temporarily, waiting for you to succeed in practicing Taoism and come to rescue mother."

Ji Ning pursed his lips and held on, completely hopeless.

Water Palace, can’t impress this immortal?

"Saving your mother has never been a difficult task. The reason I have been holding off on taking action is that I want you to remember how you feel right now - without power, you can't protect anything!"

"I saved your mother today, but your father and Ji Shi will be in trouble tomorrow. Who can save you again?"

"Five years later, the Ji family will be in trouble. Wanxiang Zhenren will attack. Can you stop them? Xuelong Mountain, a sect ruled by three great Taoists, is the culprit who killed your uncle Yuchishan and made your mother and father disabled. As a son, when can you go to Xuelong Mountain to avenge them? Shaoyan Clan has nine celestial immortals, countless scattered immortals and earthly immortals. Your mother's family, Yuchi Clan, was the one who wiped out the clan. As long as you dare to show the "Wind Wing Escape Technique" outside, you will be the remnant of Yuchi Clan and will be hunted down by Shaoyan Clan... Without power, what can you use to protect your father, mother, and the entire Ji Clan?"

For a moment, Ji Ning was stunned by the scolding.

For the first time, he realized that he was sitting on a powder keg and would be blown to pieces if he was not careful.

Yuchi Xue looked at her dazed son with heartache and gently stroked his head to comfort him.

She didn't blame Orianna for her harsh tone.

Moreover, she probably understood that the immortal valued his son very much, but he really disliked his son's temperament.

"Ning'er, Ning'er~" Yuchi Xue gently woke up Ji Ning, "Ning'er, mother hopes that you can live a happy and worry-free life. She also hopes that you can go further on the path of cultivation, at least not be as miserable as me and your father."

"Mother, is what the immortal said true?"

"Alas, Master Wansheng has great powers and can see the past and the future. I don't know about the Ji family disaster that will happen in the next five years, but everything else is true... But, Ning'er, forget it. The past is the past, and those grudges should be blown away by the wind."

'How can we just let it go like this?'

Ji Ning clenched his fists, feeling unwilling in his heart, but on the surface he showed no intention of disobeying his mother.

"Mother, I understand. I will make the right choice."

He turned around and knelt down to worship Orianna.

"Ji Ning thanks the Immortal for his enlightenment! Since the Immortal is willing to spend more time on me, if the Immortal does not abandon me, Ji Ning would like to take you as his master."

"Yes!" Orianna nodded in agreement.

Ji Ning was delighted, and just as he was about to kowtow, his body was frozen, and he heard the fairy girl in the red skirt continue to speak.

"As per your habit, you can just call me 'teacher'. I won't teach you anything in particular. I just want to see how far you can go. Therefore, I won't stop you from worshipping other masters."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the restraints on his body being lifted and he kowtowed.

"Student Ji Ning, hello teacher! Thank you for your appreciation!"

"Well, get up."

Ji Ning only had to kowtow once, and the emanating magical power lifted him up.

After paying homage to the teacher and getting closer to the immortal, Ji Ning's expression became much more relaxed. He had someone to rely on and his mother could be saved.

"Teacher, I don't know your name yet."

Oriana raised the right-handed symbol in her hand and smiled faintly, "The owner of this water palace has many titles, including Taoist Sanshou, Taoist Zhaixing, One-armed Divine Lord, Right-handed True God, etc. I also have several self-proclaimed titles, including the Queen Mother of All Spirits, the God of the Unborn World, and the Lord of All Saints. Usually, there are more powerful people in the Three Realms who call me by the Taoist name 'All Saints'."

Ji Ning was stunned and couldn't help but blurt out, "The Netherworld Taoist, the Infinite World God, the Lord of the Styx?"

"That's my master. Otherwise, how do you think I found you?"

For a moment, Ji Ning was almost overwhelmed by the joy that suddenly surged in his heart.

God!

Their titles all have the suffix "World God", which should refer to the same realm. So, the teacher he just worshipped and Nuwa are at the same level?

This is a real thigh!

However, the teacher seems to dislike his own temper?

Ji Ning was helpless.

Having lived two lives, he could always see through such little things, especially since Teacher Wansheng never shied away from his thoughts.

"Teacher, my mother?"

Orianna pointed her finger, and a beam of warm jade light entered Yuchi Xue's body. Then, a twelve-petal green lotus bloomed and closed under Yuchi Xue, wrapping Yuchi Xue in the lotus bud.

"Familiar?"

Ji Ning looked at the green lotus of energy that enveloped his mother, and suddenly countless insights surged into his heart. The teacher's questions were mixed in with the insights, and were very clear, preventing him from completely immersing himself in the comprehension of the green lotus.

"Familiar, teacher. This is very similar to the scene when I broke through the innateness."

"You have good foresight. I have helped your mother shed her mortal body and gain the innate divine and demonic body. The few ailments of her mortal body will naturally disappear."

"Teacher, could you please help my father again?"

"We will talk about your father later. You have created a simple lotus method. This blue lotus will be a source of inspiration to you. How much you can learn from it depends on your own luck."

Orianna's voice receded like the tide, and before Ji Ning could respond, he was completely occupied by the insights that continued to arise in his mind.

Looking at Qinglian, I was intoxicated.

In just a dozen breaths of time, the energy green lotus dissipated.

Yuchi Xue felt the powerful and vibrant divine body, his eyes full of disbelief. The powerful gods and demons who practiced the "Chi Ming Jiu Tian Tu" and entered the innate realm were no more than this.

He quickly got down from the recliner and bowed to Orianna.

"Yuchi Xue, thank you for rescuing me, Master."

"Well, go to the yard. Your husband has been waiting for a long time."

Yuchi Xue glanced at Ji Ning, who was still in the process of contemplation, and said with relief, "Master, I'll leave Ning'er in your care. He has a soft personality and doesn't like to fight. Please be more tolerant and encourage him in the future. Also, the disaster of the Ji family in five years..."

"I will tell Ji Ning about this matter. It will be a test for him. I will take Ji Ning away. If anything happens, you can go to Winged Snake Lake to look for him."

After saying that, she didn't want to talk any more, she flicked her red sleeves and moved away with Ji Ning.

……

Not long after, Ji Ning woke up and found that he was no longer in the room.

In the wild, the night sky was full of stars. Looking at the surrounding environment, Ji Ning recognized that this was the island in the middle of Winged Snake Lake.

"woke up?"

Ji Ning looked in the direction of the voice and saw the teacher he had just worshipped, a graceful girl in a red dress.

Ji Ning stood up, bowed, and asked, "Teacher, how is my mother?"

"I already have a body of an innate god or devil, and I am as healthy as you, so there is naturally no problem."

"Teacher, when can I go back to see my mother?"

"After I tell you something, you can go back. You don't need to practice with me all the time. Is there anything else you want to ask?"

Ji Ning hesitated for a moment and said, "My father, and the disaster that the Ji family will face in five years?"

"Your father's matter is not urgent. He can live for a long time without using his Purple Mansion combat power. I hope to witness you grow into an extremely powerful person in the Three Realms and even in the Primal Chaos, rather than a useless person who is raised in captivity and has to go back to his parents after being wronged... Five years later, the Wanxiang Master of Snow Dragon Mountain will attack, and you have to help the Ji family survive the disaster. This is my test for you. If you can really do it, I will give your father a chance to climb the immortal road again."

"Yes, teacher, I understand. I have another question. Is the Snow Dragon Mountain Wanxiang Zhenren coming here because of my parents' past?"

"No, it's because a vein of Yuanshi was discovered around Wanjian City, which attracted the covetousness of the Yanshan branch of Xuelong Mountain."

"Yuanshi ore vein?" Ji Ning's heart trembled, knowing its value very well.

His eyes rolled, and he thought that since he already knew it was near Wanjian City, could he find it and mine it in advance, and hand it over to the Great Xia Dynasty to avoid this disaster?

How could Oriana not see through Ji Ning's thoughts? She sneered and said, "The Yuanshi veins are not natural. They were formed by a Yuanshen Taoist who broke through to the Earthly Immortal level and set up a large formation to gather the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth for a long time. Five years later, he will come out of retreat. Do you dare to look for the veins in advance and destroy his chance of becoming an Earthly Immortal? He doesn't dare to get angry with Daxia, but you, the Ji family, are asking for trouble. If he wants to retaliate against you, no one can say anything."

Ji Ning shrank his head, smiled awkwardly, and quickly gave up the idea.

I already have enough enemies, so I'd better just wait for five years.

In five years, he grew from a congenital being to someone who could compete with Wanxiang Zhenren?

With an immortal teacher to guide your practice, this shouldn't be a difficult challenge.

Ji Ning bowed slightly, "Teacher, I'm fine."

"Very good, I will tell you next. Listen carefully. I want to talk to you about your cultivation. First, take out the three inheritance crystals I gave you."

Ji Ning looked solemn and said nothing. He did as he was told and took out three sparkling crystals and held them in his palm.

“In the three inheritance crystals, there are three methods to open up the Purple Palace.

The choice is yours. No matter which one you choose, as long as you open up the Purple Palace, I will return the 'Right Character Card' to you so that you can refine it and inherit the benefits of the Water Palace.

However, I hope you won’t regret your choice later.

among them--

The third method is to open up the Purple Mansion with your own strength. With your current realm, I will give you some Yuanye, and you will soon be able to become a Purple Mansion cultivator... The Qi Refining cultivators in the three realms all use this method, so there is nothing much to talk about.

The second level method uses the power of treasures to assist in opening up the Purple Mansion. This method is more obscure and has requirements on qualifications, but after you have mastered it, the strength of your Yuan Force when you have just entered the initial stage of the Purple Mansion will be comparable to that of the Perfect Purple Mansion. When you have practiced to the late stage of Earthly Immortal, with the strength of your Yuan Force, you can deal with the Celestial Immortals for a few moves.

The first-class method is the "Red Bright Nine Heavens Diagram" for refining qi, which can compete with the innate gods and demons of the same realm. The earthly immortals who have cultivated with this method are equivalent to the gods and demons who have returned to the void, and can compete with the celestial immortals. Their Yuanli is even more surging than the magic power of celestial immortals. After surviving the celestial immortal calamity, their combat power is comparable to that of the gods. "

As she was talking, Orianna noticed that Ji Ning had a blank look in his eyes and was hesitant to speak.

Realizing the problem, Orianna couldn't help but hold her forehead, and pointed a point, transmitting the detailed explanation of the following cultivation realm to Ji Ning's mind.

Ji Ning pondered over it and compared it with his cultivation realm, and finally realized the power of the second- and first-class Qi Refining methods.

The second-class Qi training method is equivalent to the body training method of ordinary gods and demons.

The first-class Qi-refining method is equivalent to him practicing the "Red Bright Nine Heavens Diagram", and his foundation is the most solid among those in the same realm.

At the same time, based on Ji Ning's experience, he could guess that the difficulty of practicing the two methods was definitely not low... If it were an ordinary time, it would not be a big deal, but now he only had five years.

Orianna noticed that Ji Ning frowned and chuckled, "It seems that you have figured it out. Within five years, you must enter the Purple Palace, enter the Water Palace, and obtain the treasures in the Water Palace to have a chance to defeat Wanxiang Zhenren. I am looking forward to it. What will you choose?"

"I chose a second-rate Qi Refining Method, quickly cultivated to the Purple Palace Realm, and after entering the Water Palace, my combat power was too low, so I couldn't pass the test and obtain the winning treasure?

I have chosen a high-level Qi Refining Method, but I have been unable to comprehend the final barrier, and I cannot open up the Purple Palace, and I cannot refine the 'Right Character Plate'. Is the Wanxiang Zhenren attacking, and he wants to defeat Wanxiang with his Xiantian?"

Facing the teacher's teasing, Ji Ning looked solemn, deeply aware that this was a decision that would determine his fate.

A green shadow flew over, and Ji Ning subconsciously used it to find that it was a green gold bracelet.

"I have a habit of teaching my disciples not to waste time on accumulating energy. As long as you have achieved the level of enlightenment, you can ask me for some treasures that can help you accumulate energy. This storage bracelet contains enough essence to help you cultivate to the Purple Palace, and the best human-level treasures needed to practice the second-level Qi Refining Method."

"Okay, leave now. Don't look for me until you reach the Purple Mansion. Once you enter the Purple Mansion, I will come to Winged Snake Lake to meet you."

After saying this, the girl in the red dress disappeared into the night.

Ji Ning looked around blankly, sighed, put the lapis lazuli bracelet on his wrist, knelt down towards the place where Orianna was before, and kowtowed nine times.

After getting up, Ji Ning walked on the lake and went home.

On the island in the middle of the lake, the figure of the girl in the red dress reappeared. She looked at Ji Ning's receding back and shook her head slightly.

"This child may indeed be as talented as the master said, just like Luo Feng, but his determination to cultivate the Dao is far behind... In the future that I have seen and intervened in, if I give him a harmonious and beautiful living environment, his motivation to cultivate the Dao will be greatly reduced, and he will just follow his temperament."

"Luo Feng is a very pure person. He just wants to become stronger, climb up endlessly, and protect his family, the earth, and the human race."

"Him, Ji Ning? As long as your senior sister is alive, you don't even want to leave the Three Realms. You even think that a lifespan of 180,000 Chaos Eras is enough?"

"My master asked me to try to guide him, to use his experiences to understand life... Humph, I'm almost pissed off at the future I see!"

Orianna held her forehead and complained.

However, she did not notice that since she entered the "mortal" level of her mental strength, the traces of life on her body became heavier and heavier, and she was truly living, no longer cold and emotionless, like a program.
