From the Valkyrie to the Endless - Page 148

A moment later, along with the loud and clear cry of a baby, the sky above the general's mansion was filled with rosy clouds, which gathered into a heavy divine power, descending from the sky and landing between the bedrooms.

155. Chapter 155: Master of Formation

155.

Seeing the rosy glow covering the sky, Zhao Yingnan straightened his expression and immediately stepped into the bedroom.

The surging spiritual energy surged in the room, filled with colorful rays of light, as if one was in a fairyland.

"Congratulations General!"

In the bedroom, a middle-aged woman came up holding a newborn baby girl, her face full of joy.

With this innate origin, the baby girl's future cultivation path will be ten or even dozens of times faster than that of ordinary people, and it will be easier to break through bottlenecks.

Just as the cultivators outside General Zhennan's Mansion guessed at this moment, this child was destined to be a dragon among men in the future when he was born.

"Ah."

Zhao Yingnan's reaction was a little cold. He glanced at the baby in the woman's arms, without looking at it any further, he walked straight past and walked into the house.

The elixir soon took effect, helping Ji Jingyu replenish his vitality and expel the remaining foul blood in his body. His originally pale face gradually regained its rosy color.

"How do you feel?" Zhao Yingnan asked with concern in his eyes.

"She's not that delicate. It's nothing serious." Ji Jingyu shook his head, threw back the quilt, got out of bed, walked into the inner room, and changed his clothes.

The bodies of cultivators are already much stronger than those of ordinary people, and with the help of elixirs to strengthen their bodies, giving birth is naturally not a life-and-death experience for ordinary women.

"What do you think Yu'er will become in the future?"

Her question received no response. Zhao Yingnan stood aside with his hands behind his back, staring at Zhao Yu in Ji Jingyu's arms, his brows furrowed, without any joy on his face.

Seeing this, Ji Jingyu's eyes flashed with doubt: "Husband, I see that you don't seem very happy?"

"Don't think too much. How could I be unhappy?"

Looking at his daughter's slightly closed eyes in his arms, the expression in his eyes became more and more complicated.

As one of the few top powers on this planet, he knows some secrets unknown to ordinary people very well, just like reading the lines on the palm of your hand.

In this world, there is no such thing as a born evildoer or a peerless genius. They are nothing more than the reincarnation of a strong man or a saint.

Among these geniuses and monsters today, if we go back a million years, every one of them would have been a peerless powerhouse who dominated the universe.

The strange phenomenon from the sky should have been a good sign, but Zhao Yingnan would rather his daughter was an ordinary person. That was better than the current situation where even though he was holding Zhao Yu in his arms, he still couldn't tell whether the girl in his arms was his daughter or not.

Ji Jingyu didn't have as many thoughts as Zhao Yingnan. He looked at Zhao Yu's soft face with a slight blush and murmured to himself:

"It is auspicious that this child will become a great monk in the future."

"Monk..."

He knew very well that this child's future might exceed many people's expectations.

The border of Middle-earth.

The murderous aura on Shen Qing's blade was smoothed out a lot. He sheathed the blade, and the sharpness gradually faded. His mood also calmed down a lot.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, we're here."

Lu Jin's voice was heard outside the car, and the car shook slightly and slowly stopped.

Shen Qing raised his hand, lifted the car curtain and got out of the car. As soon as he looked up, what came into his sight was a city with an ancient atmosphere.

Feiyun City, the history of this ancient city can be traced back to tens of thousands of years ago, when the Holy King Jiuyou had just appeared in the world not long ago, and the current kingdom of God had not yet been established. Demons and aliens were still wreaking havoc on this land.

After paying the entrance fee, the caravan slowly entered the city, stopped in front of an inn, and began to rest.

After stepping into Middle-earth, what impressed Shen Qing the most was the various complicated taxes, as if taxes were levied on everything.

Going out hunting, collecting herbs, digging for spiritual mines, and even discovering caves left behind by ancient monks all require taxes to be paid, and the share of taxes collected is extremely large, almost accounting for one-third or even half.

Compared to the Southern Region, the spiritual energy in Middle-earth is certainly more abundant, but the taxation is also much heavier.

"The caravan needs to restock supplies first. Fellow Daoist Shen, would you like to go shopping with me in the market?"

After settling the caravan, Lu Jin extended an invitation.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, please make yourself at your own convenience. I have some personal matters to attend to, so I will not be able to go with you."

After snooping around on the street for a while, Shen Qing found the largest library in Feiyun City. Most of the books collected here were ordinary ancient books, some superficial cultivation methods, some profound secret books, and the notes of cultivation experience of the predecessors, which were not stored here.

Therefore, this library was deserted. Most of the people coming and going here were ordinary mortals or some practitioners who could not be considered serious cultivators. This was exactly what Shen Qing wanted.

The gatekeeper of the library was a white-haired old man wearing a loose white robe. His hair and beard were all white, and the skin on his face was wrinkled, full of traces of the passing years. He sat on a recliner in front of the door, dozing off with his eyes squinted.

At this moment, Shen Qing's spiritual perception has far surpassed that of ordinary people. She can sense the old man's background, a cultivator who has reached the perfection of the Gangsha realm and is nearing the end of his life. He has an extremely strong aura of spiritual patterns on his body.

Shen Qing had enough reasons to suspect that the old man in front of him was most likely a spiritual array master at the Tongzhen level, who had comprehended his own spiritual patterns from the heaven and earth.

After standing in front of the door for a while, Shen Qing finally did not rush forward to disturb them. After paying the entrance fee, he stepped into the library first.

It won’t be too late to communicate with this formation master after she has finished reading the information stored in this pavilion.

As soon as he stepped into the door of the library, Shen Qing smelled a very strong scent of agarwood, which permeated the entire attic and was refreshing.

A layer of faint spiritual patterns is attached between the floors, which has the effect of removing dust, repelling insects, avoiding fire and preventing moisture.

Shen Qing walked slowly past the bookshelf, roughly scanning the books above with his mind, collecting information that interested him.

It would undoubtedly be very time-consuming to read all these books one by one. Such a large amount of information not only needs to be memorized, but also needs further understanding.

From ancient times to the present, there have been more than trillions of creatures in the world. The history of the Central Dynasty is only more than 20,000 years. The royal family of the previous dynasty did not respect the gods and attempted to rebel. They were punished by the Nine Nether Saint King and were wiped out. This gave the Central Dynasty an opportunity to gain a foothold.

With such a long history, even if the information recorded in this library is just a drop in the ocean, it is still quite complex.

While sorting out this information, Shen Qing also had to spend a lot of effort to understand the meaning of some ancient characters, which was as difficult as relearning a language.

There are three floors in the attic. The books on the first floor are the most read by ordinary people. Most of them are some simple breathing techniques, as well as boxing and kicking skills, which are very simple martial arts internal skills.

Apart from these, most of them are biographies or folk stories, and the contents are not of much reference value.

Half a day passed in the blink of an eye.

This is a manuscript left by an ancient monk named Cang Yun Dao Ren. From the information revealed in it, it can be seen that the cultivation level of Cang Yun Dao Ren is not very high, but he has just entered the fourth level. The carrier of this travelogue is also just ordinary spiritual paper. After years of wear and tear, it has become a little damaged.

[Shenhuo calendar, 5873. I traveled thousands of miles northwards. I occasionally saw smoke of war. I saw a mortal kingdom fighting. There were cultivators living in the clouds, grabbing the bloody energy to refine treasures. I ran into an old friend. Because I was short of money, I shamelessly accepted some elixirs and talismans. I wrote them down first and will return them later.]

[Shenhuo calendar, 5896. Invited by an old friend, I traveled miles to attend the wedding of his eldest son. On the way, I heard about the Tianjiang Palace, and turned to inquire about the news. In the end, I did not participate due to time constraints. Later, I heard that there was a huge change in the Palace of Immortals. Three True Gods fell, and more than True Lords of Guiyi fell. There were only a few survivors below the True Lords. I was lucky to escape.]

…………

[In the 6185th year of the Divine Fire Calendar, after saving for a long time, I finally gathered enough money for the teleportation to the outer domain and arrived at the nearest star, called Ziyun Star. Because of the heavy Yin Sha Qi on this star, the imbalance of Yin and Yang, and the scarcity of living creatures, before the teleportation array was opened, most of the people on this star were women. Now it has become a place for many cultivators to hone their Yin Sha Qi.]

[In the 6186th year of the Divine Fire Calendar, I encountered a -year-old corpse while traveling. It had amazing cultivation and was already intelligent. I almost had its Yang energy sucked away. After this incident, I realized that my Yang energy was weakening, and my words and actions were different. I became more feminine, and it even affected my character. I decided that Ziyun Star was not suitable for long-term stay, so I decided to leave as soon as possible.]

…………

[In the 6487th year of the Divine Fire Calendar, the deadline was approaching, and he chose a day to return to his homeland. He was shocked to hear that the Star Lord, the Great Saint of the Vast Sea, had made an appointment to fight a powerful enemy from outside the domain in the starry sky. He immediately asked a senior to protect and watch the battle. The battle lasted for two days, and the body of the Great Saint of the Vast Sea was worn out more than times. In the end, his holy source was exhausted and he died. The nine rings of the Star Palace were damaged, and more than half of the star domain collapsed. The passage to the outside world was cut off for the most part.]

Taoist Cang Yun was not keen on spiritual practice. He had a life span of thousands of years, and he spent most of his time traveling around and seeing the mountains and rivers. If not for this, he might have had a chance to step into the fifth level and unlock the divine treasure in his body.

It is precisely because of this that this biography depicts a world for Shen Qing that is completely different from the present.

In the era when Taoist Cang Yun lived, there were countless teleportation spirit formations on this star that led to other star regions, and creatures from other star regions would often come here to exchange what they had.

It is still unknown whether the Saint King Jiuyou was born in that era, but judging from the content of the book, there was no shortage of true gods or even great saints on this planet in that era. They stepped on the sun and the moon, the sea of ​​stars flowed at their fingertips, and their power reached the sky.

This travelogue also records the fall of the true god and the tragic scene of the great sage shed blood in the starry sky, which completely condenses what a cultivator sees, hears, and feels in his entire life.

This travelogue contains a lot of information about the stars outside the universe. It is not of much use to Shen Qing now, but perhaps it can be used in the future.
