Chapter 60: Chapter 59: Using Heaven and Earth as the Board, All Living Things as Pieces

Swish!

Ning Xunqiu lightly raised his arm, and the Little Jade Sky Streaming Light Galaxy surged according to his will, with two Demon Swords immediately submerging into the Star River.

Then, he swiftly inserted the "Sword of Chaos" from deep underground into the Galaxy, its three-meter size shrinking accordingly.

Subsequently, these sword artifacts were drawn into Ning Xunqiu’s Spiritual Acupoint Heaven and Earth.

There, Ning Xunqiu’s Primordial Spirit appeared, indistinguishable from himself, with a blazing Great Sun suspended behind his head, holding a Great Seal in his hand, and the Little Jade Sky Streaming Light Galaxy transformed into an ethereal ribbon, winding around the body of the Primordial Spirit.

"What an amazing Divine Technique," Ning Xunqiu commented with satisfaction, but then his brow furrowed slightly, "Unfortunately, it consumes too much Magical Power. Just accommodating three Demon Swords exhausted all my Magical Power."

However, this doesn’t impact much.

His strength does not solely rely on Magical Power; this Divine Technique, "Little Jade Sky Streaming Light Galaxy," is extremely effective against Magical Treasures or other Divine Techniques, hitting its target instantly.

Its speed is such that even if the opponent is prepared, it is difficult to evade.

Ning Xunqiu exited the Spiritual Acupoint Heaven and Earth, observing his surroundings, and saw an expanse of empty void.

Cyan Mountain Heaven and Earth, expanded tenfold, appeared much more spacious and empty, necessitating the intake of land and seawater from outside.

The task is ten times greater than before!

"Senior Brother, do you need my help?"

Gao Fei Xue’s voice came, arriving gracefully with the spiritual weapon, Chaotic Heaven Silk.

Her posture was like that of a fairy stepping out from an ancient painting, elegant and otherworldly. Her black hair cascaded like a waterfall to her waist, gently dancing in the wind, adding an ethereal beauty.

As a Qi Cultivator, she exuded an aura of transcendence, as if untouched by the mundane world.

Ning Xunqiu recalled his previous life focused on cultivation, serving as a General at Guanjiangkou, with little time spent with his Junior Sister and neglecting the education of his daughter Ning Yu.

Such cultivation was not what he truly pursued.

"Junior Sister, you came at the right time," Ning Xunqiu said with a gentle gaze and a smile, "Cyan Mountain Heaven and Earth has expanded tenfold; let’s go outside together to draw in water."

"Alright," Gao Fei Xue agreed happily.

The two moved with a single thought, leaving Cyan Mountain Heaven and Earth, appearing in the small courtyard of Purple Bamboo Mountain.

"So this is Purple Bamboo Mountain... Junior Sister seems eager to meet a few of your unusual friends, Senior Brother..." Gao Fei Xue said curiously, her spirit still like that of a young girl.

"A talking panda, a stone monkey, and dancing carp..." she whispered, imagining the forms of these strange beings, a delightful smile appearing on her face, "Just the thought of it seems quite amusing."

Hearing this, a hint of guilt arose in Ning Xunqiu’s heart: "I’ll introduce them to you later."

Gao Fei Xue was sheltered by the Top-Rank Spiritual Weapon, Chaotic Heaven Silk, and with both of them inseparable, safety in the East Sea was no longer a concern.

They swiftly left Purple Bamboo Mountain, one opening a gateway to Cyan Mountain Heaven and Earth, leading the waters of East Sea to flow into Cyan Mountain Heaven and Earth in torrents.

Repeating the process twice, the Ten-mile Continent in Cyan Mountain Heaven and Earth had become surrounded by shimmering waters, a spectacular sight.

Ning Xunqiu noticed that his Junior Sister was already exhausted, and feared that adding more soil would deplete her strength further.

This Ten-mile Continent was already sufficient for the cultivation needs of Cyan Mountain’s people, needing no further expansion.

While taking a brief rest in the Zi Xia courtyard, they casually caught some fresh sea shrimp from the sea, while Ah Qing brought a plump sheep.

The three gathered to enjoy this rare leisurely time.

After all, Ning Xunqiu spent most of his time immersed in cultivation at Cyan Cloud Peak, making such gatherings rare over the past seven years.

Ah Qing looked at her Sect Leader Senior Brother, clearly sensing his inner anxiety, as if an ominous shadow was constantly pursuing him, making her hesitate to disturb easily.

Ning Xunqiu was under immense pressure.

He rewrote his life in the Qingxu Realm, each moment a peak challenge, beginning with a True Dragon for proving the Dao, countering with the East Sea Dragon King, with an Ancestral Dragon overhead; yet he himself was just a minor cultivator with a century of Dao Practice, unable to win any bit.

"Senior Brother, is there anything Ah Qing can help you with?" Ah Qing said while eating grilled meat.

"There is indeed a small matter," Ning Xunqiu pondered for a moment, then seriously looked at Ah Qing, "I want you to take the Spirit Weapon Dragon-slaying Sword and go to Zhiyu Country to adopt some orphans and bring them back."

"Then, teach them reading and the technique of condensing Source Blood."

The Battle Spirit Divine Technique of the "Red Lotus Demon Slayer Guard" — Red Flame Giant God, could contend with True Dragons.

This was his core battle strength.

In previous lives, the Human Race wasn’t the key to avoiding great tribulation, and he decided against going to Li State; he needed to cultivate his own troops in advance.

This small task could be entrusted to Ah Qing.

"Uhm, uhm," Ah Qing nodded seriously, familiar with such things.

Hearing this, Gao Fei Xue called over the Big White Goose: "Ah Qing, remember to take Big White when you go out."

"Ga-ga~" the Big White Goose responded, flying excitedly from the edge of Taiping Lake.

"Ji-ji~" the Flame Sparrow flapped its wings, puffing its round belly, indicating its desire to go out too.

"Alright," Ning Xunqiu nodded in agreement.

Gao Fei Xue silently watched from the side, relieved to see that Ning Xunqiu’s nature remained unchanged.

Big White Goose and Xiaoxiao appeared the day after they started trying to cultivate on the Path of the Martial Lord; previously, Ning Xunqiu could barely disguise it as being the "Child of Destiny."

But this Divine Technique of "Reverse Cause and Effect" was profound and inscrutable, needing no further explanation.

Understood.

After the meal.

Ning Xunqiu slowly rose, gazing far, looking from a high point over all of Cyan Mountain Heaven and Earth.

"This layout... why does it seem so familiar—" he murmured, slightly furrowing his brow, "Duan Hong and the Profound Flood Dragon? Divine Land and the Four Seas?!"

"Island and sea... exactly the same."

"Their battle with the Ancestral Dragon has never ceased, using heaven and earth as a chessboard and all things as chess pieces..."

"Beyond Divine Land, there are Nineteen Continents; above the Four Seas, there are endless islands. Are they still in a dominant position?"

Realizing this, Ning Xunqiu was overjoyed.

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend, things have become simpler."

"Henceforth, this sea shall be named Sea of Ruins."

Words Become Law.

Ning Xunqiu ascended Cyan Cloud Peak, sat in meditation, beginning to digest the fruits of this life’s experiences.

He had learned his lesson from the "possessed" incident and dared not continuously rewrite the Demon Sword Life.

...

...

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, ten days passed.

Ning Xunqiu extracted a Glimmer of Green Pine from the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Evergreen Pine Tree, prepared supplementary herbs, and began refining "Cyan Pine Pill."

Three hours later, the flames in the Small Pill Furnace slowly subsided, and nine smooth cyan pills floated out, emitting a faint glow.

Ning Xunqiu gently sniffed the aroma of the pills, evaluating: "The medicinal properties are Middle Grade."

His alchemy skills couldn’t improve remarkably in such a short time.

But...

He inwardly praised: "The Divine Technique Little Jade Sky Streaming Light Galaxy proved to be extraordinarily effective in refining essence during alchemy."

Ning Xunqiu took three "Cyan Pine Pills."

Just as he exited Cyan Mountain Heaven and Earth.

"Qingyun! Qingyun!"

A Seven-Colored Spirit Dove flapped its wings, hurriedly flying over, with Bailing’s anxious voice following:

"Something’s wrong! Something’s terribly wrong! Rumor has it that the East Sea Dragon Palace and Star Sea Divine Palace have already set up a Grand Array, and are refining the Three Immortals of Jade Sky!"

Hearing these words, Ning Xunqiu’s face revealed a hint of shock.

I haven’t even made a move yet?

Unexpected developments?!
