From the Valkyrie to the Endless - Page 149

This inevitably made her wonder, why did the powerful Buddhist who had reached the realm of creation come to this star to preach and still fear the Nine Nether Saint King?

Shen Qing moved forward again and soon made another discovery. He found several books about ancient times. These books all mentioned a term that Shen Qing had heard of before, Star Palace.

She had heard from the self-proclaimed white-haired woman that the name of the Star Palace meant being born with the moon. In the future universe, the Star Palace still existed and had become a pillar of humanity.

Today's ancient history is too incomplete. If she wants to know more details, she will have to slowly dig out the secrets herself.

The old man at the door was still standing there, motionless, dozing with his eyes closed, morning dew hanging between his snow-like brows.

Shen Qing walked straight to the old man and asked softly, "With your cultivation in formation, why are you trapped in this small city?"

A master of formations in the Gangsha realm can set up a large formation and even kill Guiyi Zhenjun across two realms. In this era, this is already a top-level combat power.

"My time is coming. This quiet place is perfect for burying my bones."

"If you have something to say, please speak frankly. I am old and don't want to guess those roundabout ways."

157. Chapter 157: Red Blood Molten Star Array

157.

Seeing that the old man's reaction was dull, Shen Qing did not make any detours or play tricks, and said frankly:

"Senior, your attainments in the art of spiritual formations have reached perfection, so I would like to learn a thing or two from you."

"Why should I teach you?"

The old man still closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, looking uninterested, and said indifferently:

Having lived to his age, he has seen through many things. Human hearts are too unpredictable. He has heard or seen countless tragedies of masters and apprentices turning against each other, and even brothers killing each other.

If a disciple who has been cultivated with great efforts accidentally encounters a rebel, it will be an unbearable pain, and all the accumulation of a lifetime will be wasted. Instead of making oneself full of holes at the end of life, it is better to enjoy the old age alone and have peace and quiet.

"Since the senior is unwilling to accept disciples, I also have no intention of becoming their disciple."

Shen Qing shook her head slightly. In terms of strength alone, an old formation master was not worth her attention. She called him "senior" because as a spiritual formation master, she admired his attainments in formation.

It is too absurd to worship the dead as your teacher.

Hearing this, the old man opened his eyes, glanced at Shen Qing, changed his posture, put one hand behind his head, closed his eyes again, and waved his hand:

"Since you don't want to be my disciple, there's no need to say more. Why should I waste my time and energy on someone I just met by chance?"

Shen Qing did not move, and said calmly:

"The spiritual patterns that a formation master has comprehended are the result of his life's hard work. Senior, are you willing to let them go to waste and disappear from the world?"

These words undoubtedly touched the old man. He opened his eyes, sat up straight, and looked at Shen Qing. Finally, his face became serious:

"Even if I pass on the spiritual pattern to you, how long can you live? Even if I pass on the spiritual pattern to you for a few more years, what's the point?"

"I can make the spiritual patterns of the predecessors continue to exist in the world tens of thousands of years later. Your name will be remembered in the future generations."

Hearing this, the old man suddenly burst into laughter, almost unable to control himself. After a long time, he restrained his laughter, raised his finger and set up a layer of spiritual formation around him, blocking the surrounding detection.

This place is already the Middle-earth. There is even the golden body of the Nine Nether Saint King in Feiyun City. The saying "there are gods above our heads" is not just empty talk. We must be careful with every word and action.

After setting up the spirit array, the old man looked solemn and said slowly: "Girl, do you know how long the star under our feet can live?"

"What do you mean?" Shen Qing frowned slightly.

Five continents were outlined on the map. The four regions of east, west, south and north were like stars surrounding the moon, surrounding the Middle Earth in the center. The locations of the seventy-two capital cities were clearly visible, like seventy-two shining stars, and the Imperial Capital was the most obvious one among them.

From the perspective of a spiritual formation master, Shen Qing could tell at a glance that this was a formation with extremely astonishing power, and Dijing was the center of this spiritual formation.

The seventy-two capital cities in the world vaguely condensed into a large formation. Shen Qing had heard about this matter before. Seeing this scene, she was not surprised. She cast a puzzled look at the old man, waiting for his next words.

"Look at this again."

The ancient book has about seventy or eighty pages, which record the arrangement methods of various spiritual arrays. Many of the spiritual patterns can be clearly seen not to belong to this era at all. This is an array book left over from ancient times.

When he turned to one of the pages, Shen Qing stopped and suddenly looked up at the map above, his expression slightly changed:

"Red Blood Molten Star Formation..."

The locations of the seventy-two continents on the map were exactly the same as the spiritual formations recorded in the ancient books in her hands.

The ancient formation master, whose cultivation has reached the realm of spiritual enlightenment, can refine stars by setting up formations at will. The Red Blood Melting Star Formation is one of them. It can melt the entire star and take out the star core for one's own use.

The Holy King Jiuyou wants to swallow the star under his feet.

Thinking of this, Shen Qing frowned, realizing something was wrong. The Holy King Jiuyou was a god of incense and worship, and losing these believers on the stars would have an extremely huge impact on him, and he himself would even completely perish.

"When I was young, I explored the ancient secret realm and accidentally found this ancient book. Later, I traveled all over the Middle Earth and the four regions of the world, surveying and recording the spiritual patterns of various continents. After going through 72 continents, I made this discovery."

"The Holy King Jiuyou is about to make a stunning move. He will use the flesh and blood of all the creatures on the planet to pave the way for him to ascend to godhood and become the first true god since ancient times."

"Can the incense god still exist after there are no believers?"

Shen Qing was a little puzzled. She didn't feel much sense of urgency. Judging from the results in later generations, it was obvious that the Holy King Jiuyou did not do it in the end.

But it will gradually decline in the future generations, which must be related to the Nine Nether Saint King.

"not dead?"

Shen Qing was stunned, and then her eyes changed slightly. She had never thought that the Nine Nether Saint King was still a living being.

The power of incense and vows is no different from a deadly poison to cultivators, but this is only for humans. For creatures of other races, there are ways to avoid these effects, such as the ghost clan's unique technique of splitting the soul.

This is something Shen Qing has never thought about.

The old man looked at Shen Qing, as if trying to see some hesitation in her expression.

“For me, of course.”

To his disappointment, Shen Qing answered without any hesitation.

"Tens of thousands of years later, this star will still exist. I will naturally fulfill what I promised you today."

After thinking for a long time, the old man reached into his arms again and took out a palm-sized booklet:

"This summary of the art of formations contains all of my life's hard work. If you can use it, take it."

Shen Qing's eyes lit up slightly, and he bowed and thanked her: "Thank you, senior."

This is what she wanted to hear most.

"For this spiritual pattern, I watched the sunrise on the top of Wu Jue Peak for more than sixty years. Now, three hundred years have passed in a flash..."

For a moment, the old man sighed and fell into memories. After a moment, he came back to his senses and said slowly:

"With my cultivation level, I can barely refer to the formation diagram and try to set up an ancient teleportation formation to send you away from this planet."

Seeing Shen Qing opening his mouth to speak, he waved his hand and said, "No need to rush to refuse."

"May I ask your name, Senior?"

"My surname is Yang, my given name is Jiong, and my nickname is Taoist Yangji."

158. Chapter 158 It is important for people to know themselves

2023-09-12

Yang Jiong, a Taoist of the highest pole.

This title made Shen Qing's eyes move, and he thought of the Yang family in later generations, and couldn't help but ask:

"Does the senior have any offspring?"

Yang Jiong shook his head and sighed. When he was young, he mostly traveled around and had no intention of getting married and having children. After experiencing many ups and downs, he became increasingly exhausted physically and mentally, and his desire to start a family and build a career faded even further.

"I just made a mistake in my words, please don't blame me, senior."

Shen Qing apologized and suppressed the doubts in his heart, thinking that it might just be a coincidence.

At this time, it is still at least 20,000 years away from the future Great Xia, so the chance of meeting the ancestors of the Yang family is too small.

"There is no need to talk about these empty words. I am unwilling to pass on my teachings to you. As you said, it would be a waste of all the enlightenment I have gained in my life to be lost in the underworld."

Yang Jiong didn't care, he lay back in his chair again, closed his eyes and said:
