#484 - Chapter 492: Clues of Returning to the Fairyland
“We're almost there.”
The Lord of Nanshan revealed a smile.
“Ning'er, because of Xiyue, you may become the target of public criticism and be attacked. You must act cautiously within the Northern Mountain Holy Sect.”
“Your talent is strong, ranking among the top throughout the entire history of the human race.”
“Such talent is likely to attract assassination attempts from other races. Before breaking through to the Universe God realm, cultivate as discreetly as possible.”
The Lord of Nanshan instructed.
Even in the Northern Mountain Holy Sect, he couldn't completely protect Jiang Ning.
Moreover, after sending Jiang Ning there, he would return to Nanshan Kingdom and couldn't stay in the Northern Mountain Holy Sect as his backer.
The Great Luo Universe, the ten peak races.
To allow their races to go further, there existed competitive and hostile relationships between them.
Assassinating the top geniuses of each other's races was a common occurrence.
Therefore, top geniuses from various races often fell.
“As expected, the trip to the Northern Mountain Holy Sect won't be too peaceful.”
“When the time comes, many bored people will come looking for trouble.”
Jiang Ning smiled wryly.
However, he didn't regret agreeing to this marriage and coming to the Northern Mountain Holy Sect with the Lord of Nanshan.
Compared to the trouble it brought, the gains from entering the Northern Mountain Holy Sect would be enormous.
After all, it was already difficult to obtain sufficient resources in the Four Directions Starfield.
“Uncle, rest assured, I know what to do.”
Jiang Ning nodded.
“Mm.” The Lord of Nanshan smiled with satisfaction.
“In the Myriad Formation God Mansion, I met a monstrous young man who single-handedly killed dozens of Universe True Gods.”
That scene was too shocking for him, leaving a deep impression in his heart.
Then, he patted Jiang Ning on the shoulder and said, "I hope you can surpass him one day."
The wild boy left a severe psychological shadow in the Lord of Nanshan's heart. Once he thought of him, he couldn't help but feel fear.
Naturally, he hoped that his son-in-law could surpass the wild boy one day, allowing him to get rid of his psychological shadow.
However, the Lord of Nanshan probably never dreamed that...
The wild boy who gave him a psychological shadow was his son-in-law, Jiang Ning.
“Killed dozens of Universe True Gods!”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning pretended to be shocked, exaggeratingly widening his mouth.
“Uncle, the wild boy is not old, yet he has the strength to kill dozens of Universe True Gods. I'm afraid I can't surpass him.”
Jiang Ning shook his head.
He didn't expect that one day someone would ask him to surpass himself.
“You don't need to be discouraged either. The path he cultivates is not the path of laws, but a cultivation path that has disappeared for a long time.”
“Remember, no matter how powerful other cultivation paths are, they are all ultimately minor paths.”
“Only the path of laws is the ultimate path for cultivators, with infinite potential.”
“It's not like you have no hope of surpassing him.”
“You are also a monster standing at the peak of the human race, so why fear others? Believe in yourself.”
The Lord of Nanshan laughed.
Rumble!!!
Suddenly, the entire universe warship shook violently.
The Lord of Nanshan's expression changed drastically.
“Not good, let's go!”
He hurriedly pulled Jiang Ning away from the universe warship.
Just after escaping the universe warship, it exploded.
Boom!
With a loud noise, the universe warship exploded like a star, erupting with incomparably brilliant light.
“Who dares to commit violence in the Northern Mountain Starfield? Do you really not want to live?”
The Lord of Nanshan's eyes were filled with killing intent, and his expression was extremely ugly.
Jiang Ning was also stunned. He was attacked just as he arrived at the Northern Mountain Holy Sect.
Moreover, it was the son of the Third Elder, Heavenly Punishment Venerable God.
Who on earth did this?
Chirp chirp chirp...
In the starry sky, endless darkness surged.
Covering all the light.
The entire sky was shrouded in endless darkness.
An unparalleled terrifying pressure pressed down on the Lord of Nanshan and Jiang Ning.
“This dark aura seems somewhat familiar…”
Jiang Ning suddenly understood.
It was similar to the aura of the source of darkness.
Instantly, Jiang Ning became extremely excited.
Finally… he found a clue to return to the Immortal Realm.
As long as he found the Abyssal Demon Realm, he could enter the Immortal Realm.
“Heavenly Punishment, that old bastard, killed my son, and I will also kill his son.”
“Lord of Nanshan, today this seat will kill you, so that the old Heavenly Punishment bastard can also taste the pain of losing a son, hahaha.”
In a series of laughter, a dark red giant figure walked out.
Jiang Ning and the Lord of Nanshan, in front of him, were like ants looking up at a giant dragon.
“Universe… Venerable God, you are the Blood Shadow Venerable God of the Dark Shadow Race.”
The Lord of Nanshan's face instantly turned pale.
Universe Venerable God?
Jiang Ning was shocked in his heart.
This was the first time he had seen a real Universe Venerable God.
Upon reaching the Universe Venerable God level, the numbers would sharply decrease, making them very difficult to encounter.
“Blood Shadow Venerable God, this is the territory of the human race, and even more so the territory of my Northern Mountain Holy Sect. Are you really not afraid of death by coming to kill me?”
The Lord of Nanshan said loudly.
Although the Dark Shadow Race was not one of the top ten peak races, they were still a very powerful race in the entire Great Luo Universe.
They were good at hiding in the darkness, were ghosts, and were natural killers.
“My Blood Shadow Flight Technique is unparalleled in the world. As long as I kill you, I will immediately escape. Your father can't catch up with me.”
The Blood Shadow Venerable God sneered.
“Go to hell!”
After all, this was the territory of the Northern Mountain Holy Sect, so he had to attack quickly and then escape.
If he was not careful, he might be left in the human territory.
Boom!
The terrifying killing move shattered the entire starry sky, and the entire world fell into endless darkness.
In front of the Blood Shadow Venerable God, the Lord of Nanshan showed no resistance.
This was the huge gap between a Universe Venerable God and a Universe True God.
Even escaping was basically impossible.
“It seems I can only rely on myself.”
Jiang Ning thought to himself.
He prepared to secretly use the Clear Picture cheat to instantly kill the Blood Shadow Venerable God.
However, at this moment, the starry sky was pierced open.
Countless black chains engraved with rune imprints flew out.
Entangling the Blood Shadow Venerable God.
“Blood Shadow, you dare to commit violence in the Northern Mountain Starfield, you are bold!”
An incomparably angry and majestic voice resounded throughout the entire starry sky.
“Father!”
The Lord of Nanshan was overjoyed and shouted loudly.
He didn't expect that at the critical moment, his father had finally arrived.
He also breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart.
In front of the Heavenly Punishment Venerable God, the Blood Shadow Venerable God was completely no match.
After all, one was at the peak of the Universe Venerable God realm, and the other was in the late stage of the Universe Venerable God realm.
The gap between their strengths was still very large.
Jiang Ning quickly put away the Clear Picture cheat.
Since someone had taken action, there was naturally no need for him to act.
“Damn it, Heavenly Punishment old bastard, you actually came.”
The Blood Shadow Venerable God gritted his teeth, filled with hatred.
The starry sky opened, and an old man with a burly figure, a majestic aura, and a face somewhat similar to the Lord of Nanshan walked out.
He stood there, with various laws of power surrounding him, sacred and awe-inspiring, like the light of the Great Dao.
His aura covered the universe, completely an ancient deity who had come from the creation of the world, powerful to the extreme.
It was the Heavenly Punishment Venerable God, the Third Elder of the Northern Mountain Holy Sect, a super power in the southern star system of the human territory.
He controlled the criminal law of the Northern Mountain Holy Sect and possessed unparalleled strength.
“Hmph.”
The Heavenly Punishment Venerable God snorted coldly.
He used a move and mercilessly killed the Blood Shadow Venerable God.
Scaring him to the point where he didn't even have the courage to fight back.
Blood Shadow Flight Technique!
Without the slightest hesitation, the Blood Shadow Venerable God directly used the secret technique to escape.
He was extremely fast, and even the powerful Heavenly Punishment Venerable God couldn't catch up.
“Blood Shadow, consider yourself lucky to have run fast.”
“You dare to assassinate my son, this old man will kill every single person from your Blood Shadow Race I see.”
As the elder of the Punishment Hall, the Heavenly Punishment Venerable God had a fiery temper.
“Greetings, Father, thanks to your timely arrival, otherwise the consequences would have been disastrous.”
The Lord of Nanshan cupped his hands respectfully.
“Hmph, although you escaped this time, this matter cannot be left at that.”
“This Blood Shadow guy was able to ambush you as soon as you came back, which shows that he obtained intelligence.”
“It can be seen that a traitor has appeared among the people around me. We must find him.”
The Heavenly Punishment Venerable God said angrily.
He hated guys who bit the hand that fed them the most.
“A traitor?”
“But that's right, it's impossible to accurately find myself without an insider.”
The Lord of Nanshan's expression was extremely ugly, but he quickly restrained himself.
“Father, this is Jiang Ning, I have brought him here.”
The Lord of Nanshan hurriedly introduced Jiang Ning to his father, the Heavenly Punishment Venerable God.
“Greetings, Elder Heavenly Punishment.”
Jiang Ning hurriedly cupped his hands and saluted.
As expected of the Punishment Hall Elder of the Northern Mountain Holy Sect, his strength was too powerful.
Only in this way could he deter the disciples of the entire Northern Mountain Holy Sect and maintain the dignity of the Punishment Hall.
If Jiang Ning and the Heavenly Punishment Venerable God fought, he still had self-awareness and was not his opponent.
Of course, if Jiang Ning used the Clear Picture cheat, it would be enough to instantly kill him.
“Good.”
After sizing up Jiang Ning, the Heavenly Punishment Venerable God nodded with satisfaction, “As expected, he is a man of talent.”
“Use your full strength and make a move.”
The Heavenly Punishment Venerable God condensed a palm and suppressed Jiang Ning.
Obviously, the Heavenly Punishment Venerable God wanted to test Jiang Ning.
After all, Gu Xiyue was his most beloved granddaughter.
Naturally, not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry could be her husband.
“Mm.” Jiang Ning nodded seriously.
The Chaos Control Realm burst out with full force.
Condensing a towering giant sword and slashing towards the palm.
Boom.
With a single sword strike, the palm itself was extinguished.
“Good fellow, I used a palm with the power of a Universe Void God, yet you were able to resolve it so easily.”
“The strength of your battle power is unbelievable.”
The Heavenly Punishment Venerable God was startled.
After all, Jiang Ning's name as a genius was all hearsay, and it was inevitable that there was some exaggeration.
When he personally witnessed that Jiang Ning really had such powerful battle power, the Heavenly Punishment Venerable God was naturally shocked.
The Lord of Nanshan was not shocked, after all, he had personally seen Jiang Ning's horror
Allowing his father to test him.
“I heard that your comprehension is very strong. This is the control-level divine power 《Connected Star Sword Technique》. How much time can you spend comprehending it?”
The Heavenly Punishment Venerable God directly passed a control-level divine power to Jiang Ning.
A line of text immediately appeared in his mind.
【You are in serious observation, activating the second-learning cheat, comprehending 《Connected Star Sword Technique》 to the peak!】
Although he had already comprehended it to the peak, Jiang Ning didn't dare to act too unbelievably.
So, he pretended to comprehend for an hour.
“Elder Heavenly Punishment, I have already successfully comprehended it.”
Jiang Ning stretched out his finger, and sword intent condensed into a divine sword.
With a single sword strike, nine stars appeared in the sky, connected in a row, and killed towards the starry sky.
Rumble~
The entire starry sky was vibrating from a distance.
Nine stars continued to fall, forming a series of explosions.
“Small success realm… only an hour, indeed extremely high comprehension, infinite potential.”
Looking at Jiang Ning using the 《Connected Star Sword Technique》, the Heavenly Punishment Venerable God was greatly surprised.
For him, learning a control-level divine power in an hour, even if it directly reached the peak realm, was a very easy thing.
This was because his realm was already at the peak of the Universe Venerable God.
And Jiang Ning was only a controller, this kind of amazing comprehension was simply a miracle.
If the Heavenly Punishment Venerable God knew that Jiang Ning had comprehended it to the peak realm in just an instant, he would probably be scared to death.
“Good, very good, I really didn't misjudge you.”
“As long as you don't fall, there is absolutely no problem in standing at the peak of the universe in the future.”
The Heavenly Punishment Venerable God laughed happily.
“Elder Heavenly Punishment is too kind, this junior still needs to cultivate diligently.”
Jiang Ning said modestly.
“Ning'er, you don't need to call me Elder Heavenly Punishment in the future, it seems very distant. Just like Xiyue, call me Grandpa.”
The Heavenly Punishment Venerable God smiled slightly.
Obviously, the Heavenly Punishment Venerable God recognized Jiang Ning's identity as his grandson-in-law.
“Respectfully obeying is better than declining, Grandpa.”
Jiang Ning called respectfully.
Afterwards, the Heavenly Punishment Venerable God took Jiang Ning to the Northern Mountain Holy Sect.
And the Lord of Nanshan returned to Nanshan Kingdom.
……
Northern Mountain Holy Palace, inside a luxurious palace.
An effeminate man with powdered face and rouged lips, more enchanting than a woman, had a gloomy face.
Angrily smashing things.
“Useless things, actually failed, and didn't kill that toad who wants to eat swan meat.”
The enchanting man with rouge was the son of the Northern Mountain Holy Sect master, the young sect master Zhou Tianyi.
It was he, this young sect master, who leaked the Lord of Nanshan's whereabouts.
Letting Blood Shadow ambush and attack the Lord of Nanshan and Jiang Ning.
To create an accident and kill Jiang Ning, this love rival.
He had pleaded with the Heavenly Punishment Venerable God many times, and even his father had come forward.
But they were all ruthlessly rejected.
The Third Elder and the Sect Master had conflicting ideas, so naturally they wouldn't let their granddaughter marry his son.
Besides, the Heavenly Punishment Venerable God also suspected that Zhou Tianyi's purpose in marrying his granddaughter was not pure.
Naturally, it was impossible to send Gu Xiyue into a fire pit.
In order to dispel Zhou Tianyi's thoughts, he hastily arranged a marriage for Gu Xiyue, choosing Jiang Ning as her fiancé.
Otherwise, no matter how strong Jiang Ning's talent was, he wouldn't have arranged the marriage so hastily.
The biggest reason was to find a son-in-law to get rid of him.
"Gu Xiyue is crucial to my cultivation. I must have her, no matter what."
"As for her fiancé… he’s nothing more than a country bumpkin from a remote starfield. Before the North Mountain Holy Sect, he's just an ant. I'll find an opportunity to get rid of him."
"A mere Human Supreme Realm brat. Making him die silently shouldn't be too difficult, right?"
The flamboyant man, Zhou Tianyi, chuckled coldly.
PS: Damn, I don't dare sleep in at my mother-in-law's house. I have to get up early, and I'm too embarrassed to take a nap. I was coding just now, and my eyes were so sleepy I couldn't keep them open.
Muddled and confused, I slowly squeezed out four thousand words, sob sob sob~
