Chapter 465: Temple Panruo
“Yes.” Liu Ming said respectfully, then he turned to bid farewell to Feng Zhan and Xin Yuan.
“President Feng, thank you for your care in Changfeng Association.” Liu Ming bowed while cupping his fist to Feng Zhan and said politely.
“Guest Liu, you don’t have to be polite. It’s you who contributed to the Changfeng Association. Since Guest Liu has a good relationship with the Middle Sky Continent’s Taiqing Sect, it might be a chance for you this time. I will naturally not keep Guest Liu here. “Feng Zhan smiled slightly.
“Brother Liu still has a long way to go to the Middle Sky Continent this time. I don’t know when I will see you next time. Take care.” Xin Yuan said solemnly.
“Brother Xin, take care and goodbye.” Liu Ming cupped his fist toward them.
While talking, the woman in white robe had already walked to the door. She waved one hand to lift up Liu Ming, then they soared into the sky and went away.
…
A month later, on a small island in the South Sea Region, in a very secret mountain range.
The place was surrounded by clouds and bushes. It was obviously a place that was off the beaten track. It was also rumored to be a forbidden place for a secret sect in the South Sea Region.
At the end of a winding path at the foot of the mountain, a group of four people were standing in the depths of a stone cave of ten meters tall, in front of a giant door that was densely engraved with blue spirit patterns.
Two people in front were chatting. One was a young woman with long hair over her shoulder and a white robe; the other was a middle-aged man who wore a tall hat and white robe.
The very young couple behind were Liu Ming and Jia Lan.
“Sect Master Li, this time I want to ask for your sect’s help again to use this teleportation array.” The woman in white robe saluted the middle-aged man and said.
“Miss Yu Qing, you don’t have to be polite with me. Miaoyin Nunnery has a close relationship with our Earth Spirit Sect. A hundred years ago, the two sects of you and I had an alliance agreement, so it is just an easy task to use this teleportation array.” The middle-aged man revealed a smile.
“Sect Master Li is being polite. Activating this ancient teleportation array will cost you a lot of high-grade space crystal stone. I’ll thank you again for helping us.” The nun thanked the man in white robe again.
The middle-aged man also smiled in return. He took out a token from his waist and shook it slightly.
“Puff“!
A blue light shot out from the token and flashed into the stone door.
After the spirit patterns on the stone gate flashed wildly for a few times, it slowly opened amid the rumbling sound, and a dark corridor was faintly visible.
“There are a lot of enchantments here, please follow me closely, two little friends. If you take one step wrong and trigger the enchantments, it will be troublesome.” The middle-aged man told Liu Ming and Jia Lan. He raised his hands, and a white light shot out and brightened the cave.
“Thank you senior for reminding.”
The two nodded hurriedly and followed up after hearing that.
As soon as the four people entered, the stone door behind them immediately closed with a flash of the spirit patterns, recovering to its usual state.
After walking through a hundred meters long corridor that sloped downward, the space in front of them became wide.
There was a hall of a few acres in size. There were some unknown symbols engraved on the surrounding walls. These seemed to be the enchantments set by the Earth Spirit Sect.
In the corner of the hall, there was an array of thirty meters in size. The array was densely engraved with spirit patterns, and there were some strange ancient characters on it. There were several grooves around, which should be used for the upper grade crystal stone.
“Please.” The middle-aged man motioned the three to walk into the array, then he took out a few black crystal stones and put them into the grooves around the array one by one.
“When this array is activated, there will be some spiritual power fluctuations. You two try to restrain your spiritual power to prevent accidents.” The woman in white robe reminded Liu Ming and Jia Lan.
The two were stunned hearing that, and they nodded.
After the middle-aged man placed the crystal stone, he took out a disc with one hand. He threw it out, and it hovered above the ancient array.
Then there was a humming sound from the ancient array, and a huge spiritual wave burst out, shooting out several dazzling green lights from it.
Liu Ming closed his eyes subconsciously and concentrated his mental power desperately. He felt that a powerful spiritual force gathered around his body, and then he became hot. His vision became blurred, then he disappeared in the array.
After a while, Liu Ming opened his eyes in dizziness and found that he had already appeared in another hall. The woman in white robe and Jia Lan were standing beside him.
The main hall was quite spacious. The floor was made of gray boulders. A dozen stone pillars were densely embedded with shining gems, illuminating the hall clearly.
But in such a spacious hall, there was only an old monk with white hair sitting on a futon at the exit.
The monk was wearing a robe. His eyes were closed. As he was chanting, he kept counting the beads.
Liu Ming couldn’t sense the slightest spiritual power, and he couldn’t help feeling a little surprised.
At this time, Senior Nun Yu Qing stepped forward slowly. She put her hands together, bowed respectfully to the old monk, and called “Master’s Junior”.
However, the old monk remained expressionless. He wasn’t moving with his eyes closed; he was chanting Buddhist scriptures softly.
Yu Qing was not surprised at all. After another salute, she led Liu Ming and Jia Lan out of the hall from the old monk.
At the same time, a few clear crisp bell sounds came from a distance. Looking around, in the yellow courtyard wall, the simple gray-white stone steps were connected to several smaller temples.
After Liu Ming quietly released a wisp of mental power, he was surprised to find that there were only a dozen monks in the entire temple, but they were all mortals without exception.
When they walked out of the gate of the temple, Liu Ming couldn’t help but look back. He saw a camphor wood plaque on the gate of the temple with the words “Temple Panruo” written on it.
But outside the temple, there was an endless black land.
Senior Nun Yu Qing raised her hand, released a light blue paper crane, and then launched a symbol.
The paper crane uttered a clear chime. With a white light flashed on its body, it immediately increased in size. The inch size paper crane became one hundred meters long. It was a giant bird with a red cap and blue and white patterns.
After the three of them jumped on the paper crane, Senior Nun Yu Qing’s figure flashed and landed on the head of the paper crane lightly, then she made a gesture.
Hearing the chirping of the paper crane, it immediately flapped its wings. It cast a hurricane and soared into the sky, carrying them to a certain direction.
…
Half a month later, over a miniature mountain range stretched by more than ten emerald green peaks, a blue and white paper crane flashed by, leaving a white cloud mark in the sky.
The paper crane didn’t fly in a straight line. Maybe it was deliberately avoiding some sects or lively cities. Sometimes, it detoured to west and east to the deserted mountains and ridges that were inaccessible.
Therefore, on the way, apart from occasionally encountering a few low tier cultivators who were riding on their spiritual weapons on the way, they didn’t encounter anyone. They didn’t meet groups of cultivators that Liu Ming originally imagined.
Obviously even in the Middle Sky Continent, cultivators were relatively rare as compared to mortals. Besides, this place wasn’t so peaceful as it seemed on the surface. Otherwise, for a Real Pellet State powerhouse like Yu Qing didn’t have to be so cautious.
Senior Nun Yu Qing sat on the head of the paper crane with her eyes closed. She rarely talked to them along the journey. She was just meditating quietly most of the time.
Jia Lan, dressed in a pale yellow shirt, sat cross-legged beside Liu Ming, silently looking at the scenery below.
Whether it was the green hills and boulders that were stacked up below, or the clear and pleasant trickle, or the wild beasts and birds that foraged in the mountains and forests; they seemed to be able to attract her attention.
Liu Ming’s gaze swept over her delicate face, then he smelled the faint scent of the woman, and he couldn’t help but smile a little bitterly.
After he left Changfeng Association with Senior Nun Yu Qing that day, he went to Qingshui Nunnery to live for two days.
During this period, Senior Nun Yu Qing was actually very interested in Jia Lan. After testing her aptitude deliberately, she unexpectedly discovered that Jia Lan was not a pure succubus physique, but the sky succubus physique that was very similar to the succubus physique.
Although the difference between the two was only one word, their function was worlds apart.
Succubus physique could suppress people of the same or even low tier cultivation level, but when facing a strong enemy of higher level, its effect would be greatly weakened. Therefore, although it was also an extremely rare spiritual body, it still had shortcomings.
Although this sky succubus physique was very similar to the succubus physique on the surface, and it was easily mistaken for the later, it actually had a few incredible effects. If the person cultivates the suitable technique, he could maximize the power of illusion, killing the enemy with an invisible force.
And this kind of spiritual body was extremely rare in the Middle Sky Continent, Senior Nun Yu Qing also learned from an ancient record. She also happened to know that a certain Taiqing Sect’s elder had a technique that has no successor, and this technique was suitable for this spiritual body.
Later, after learning that Jia Lan did not formally become the disciple of any elders of Qingshui Nunnery, she directly took her from Nun Miao Xin and brought her to Taiqing Sect along the way.
Although the nun in green robe was very reluctant to give away Jia Lan, she knew that this was a rare opportunity for Jia Lan. After a conversation, she agreed and gave Jia Lan a few spiritual weapons.
In this way, it became Senior Nun Yu Qing set off with the two of them.
While getting along on this road, Jia Lan never showed signs of remembering the past in front of Liu Ming, and she showed an indifferent attitude to Liu Ming.
This naturally made Liu Ming helpless.
…
Two months later, in an uninhabited desert, a man and two women were walking forward.
The desert in front was like an endless yellow sea. Under the sunlight, golden light spots could be seen. A strong wind would come sometimes, stirring up a yellow sand mist that could obscure the sky.
“This smoky sea sand area was set with a flight restriction enchantment due to some ancient seals, but we only have to walk for half a day to the place where the next long-distance ancient teleportation array is located.” The woman in white robe walked in the forefront while explaining to the two of them.
Liu Ming couldn’t help but wonder where the teleportation array in the desert would lead, but he didn’t ask much and followed behind silently.
Jia Lan curiously asked the woman in white robe about the Middle Sky Continent.
