Chapter 235: Seventy Years Across Time (Part )
"continue."
Jiang Mo said bluntly, and he continued his journey, leaving the foggy deep lake.
In the next few years, Yousha followed them closely. The two of them traveled from west to east, starting from the Taklimakan Desert and ending at the Kubuqi Desert. The eight major deserts in the country were the must-go routes for their exploration.
In 2005, on the edge of the Tengger Desert, close to the border area, Jiang Mo found the "Daytime Pure Fire" in a remote Gobi Desert. It was a cluster of Qi-like light surging with high-temperature flames.
At night, the climate in the desert was extremely cold. Beside the campfire, Jiang Mo sat in meditation. Frost-silver Qi flowed out from his fingertips, slowly forming words that were imprinted on the paper in his palm.
"How long will this time be?"
Yousha was sitting opposite, holding a bottle of foreign wine in her hand, sipping it in small sips, staring at the campfire with a dazed look, looking charming.
"At least seven or eight years, at most more than ten years."
Jiang Mo's fingertips stopped suddenly. Everything that needed to be explained was written in the letter. He folded the letter lightly. A white light appeared on his palm and the letter made of Qi disappeared in an instant.
"Aren't you going back to retreat?"
Yousha had no interest in this deserted ghost place with hundreds of miles of land. She had not yet figured out how to spend the long years.
"."
Jiang Mo shook his head slightly and explained the reason: "The fusion of the five qi may be more terrifying than I imagined. Once it gets out of control, it will cause irreparable disaster to the sect."
"Besides, the Reverse Life that I practiced has helped me transform several times in the past sixty years. My Xuan Ming has been promoted step by step. This time it is the sixth level. I can't tell what will happen, and I don't want to worry my disciples. Therefore, it is most appropriate to choose this natural and dangerous place for retreat."
"Good luck. Want some?"
Yousha opened the purple crystal tied to her chest, took out the red wine stored inside, and handed it to Jiang Mo.
"I never drink."
Jiang Mo smiled faintly and declined. He looked out at the starry night sky, feeling relaxed and happy.
"."
Silent all night.
The next day, they went to an isolated underground place. Jiang Mo set up tactics all around them. The white sea of fire swayed and formed a forbidden zone for life.
Yousha set up a tent in the distance. Fortunately, during her travels over the years, she passed through many towns in the desert and had intermittent supplies of fresh water and dry food, so she didn't have to worry about this temporarily.
In her silver-gray eyes, a slender figure gradually walked away and disappeared in the white sea of fire.
This is the end.
Jiang Mo began a new retreat with the goal of integrating the Five Qi into his body and ascending to the Mysterious Destiny.
Let’s talk about the other side. It was November 1997, 11, in the autumn.
Lu family.
Lu Jin's face was as cold as ice, and his anger was so overwhelming that the air in the entire backyard froze in an instant.
A young woman was being held high in the air by his hand, her eyes filled with fear. She didn't understand how this elderly man could have such terrible power. Even though she struggled desperately, it was of no avail.
"When did it start?"
"grandfather."
The voice stopped abruptly. As Lu Jin's right hand gradually increased in strength, the woman almost suffocated and her face turned purple.
"When did you, a filthy creature, take over my granddaughter's body?"
"Where did you take her?"
Lu Jin's eyes flashed coldly and he shouted harshly.
He had been busy with family affairs in recent years. Recently, he heard that his granddaughter was pregnant, so he came here to visit her. However, he never thought that the dirty ghost had taken away his granddaughter's body without anyone knowing.
"I. I. said."
The woman felt like her throat was about to break, and she used all her strength to utter these words with difficulty.
"."
Lu Jin let go and felt the new life growing in the woman's belly. He frowned, unable to tell whether the baby was contaminated or not, or if the baby was the carrier of this dirty thing.
The more he thought about it, the more murderous intent he became, and the marble floor exploded in an instant.
The mysterious will hidden in Lu Qingning's body was horrifying. Even the leader of the organization did not feel as oppressive as the old man in front of him.
Feeling the chilling murderous intent, she said in panic:
"Sorry, old man. I didn't mean to hide it. Your granddaughter did something not long ago."
"?"
As Lu Jin's knife-like eyes swept over her, the woman trembled with fear and hurriedly told the whole story.
"I am a good friend of your granddaughter. When I was being hunted, she took the risk to accept me and let me live in her body."
"Not long ago, she was in a car accident and died on the spot. Before she lost consciousness, she asked me to help save the baby in her belly."
Car accident?
What a car accident!
When Lu Qingning was young, she followed me to visit my master's school and was doted on by all the elders, especially Senior Brother Zhuge, who even personally forged a protective magic weapon for the child. How could a car accident take her life!
Lu Jin's face darkened as he realized the lie. He lowered his big hand and grabbed the woman's throat. He ignored her pleas and began to chant an ancient spell.
"what!!!"
Instantly, the woman let out a shrill wail, blood oozed from her eyeballs, and every muscle in her body was contracting and trembling, especially the consciousness deep in her brain, which was tortured and almost perished. "I have no patience. If you deceive me again, I have enough means to make you live a life worse than death."
Lu Jin looked at his granddaughter's body, his heart bleeding.
The woman knelt on the ground in a panic, gasping for breath. Her body underwent subtle changes, her bones squirmed, and scales grew, but they were quickly suppressed.
The remaining sanity made her instinctively cowardly, and she didn't have the courage to challenge the old man.
"We were very good friends. She knew that I was being hunted and took the initiative to give me the protective magic weapon. In the end, we both died."
"I'm sorry I can't protect her, isn't it?"
"Snapped!"
Before he could finish his words, Lu Jin, unable to control his anger, slapped him.
The burning pain made the woman's body tremble. She lowered her head, her eyes dodged, and she was extremely scared.
"Old, old sir, don't kill me."
"The baby in my belly is still alive, please"
"Really. For Qingning's sake."
The woman knelt on the ground, kowtowed and begged bitterly.
"Who killed her?"
Lu Jin was filled with depression. He couldn't get over the death of his granddaughter for a while, even though it was her wish to help her friend.
"Old man, I can't tell you. They have done something to me. If I touch the taboo, my memory will be instantly cleared."
The woman hurriedly explained that she dared not lie again. She was really afraid of the old man, who had the power to take her life at any time. If anything happened to her, the baby in her belly would definitely be in danger.
"."
"Go get a prenatal check-up now."
Lu Jin did not kill the man and let him go for the time being. He wanted to find out what was going on with the baby in her belly.
A year later, the child was born and named Lu Linglong by the parents. She was very healthy and the woman was responsible for breastfeeding and care.
1999, autumn, night.
The woman who got in touch with her companions, before leaving, considered Lu Linglong's genetic innate ability, and the earlier it awakened, the smaller the side effects would be. She directed and acted in a tragedy, then her soul left her body, fled with her companions, and left a letter to Lu Jin.
2000, spring.
Lu Jin brought the baby back to his master's sect, but his uncle was still traveling outside.
Even though he knew that there was something wrong with Linglong's bloodline, he was helpless. Even Cheng Zhen didn't dare to try to reconstruct the body easily. The child was too young and her soul was extremely fragile.
That night.
He sought help from Senior Brother Zhuge again, and the two of them entered the inner scene together and found the answer. When they came out, they sighed with disappointment. The facts were consistent with what the woman said. As for the murderer behind the scenes, he also died in a dispute overseas in the past two years.
In the year 2005, Lu Jin's grandson Lu Lin embarked on the path of Qi training. He admired the Trinity Mysterious Sect, passed the test of the Illusion Forest, and was accepted as a disciple by Cheng Zhen.
A few years later, a squinty-eyed boy from Wuhou Village came to Sanyi Gate with his father Zhuge Gong to visit Zhuge Yu.
The arrogant little boy was distracted for a moment when he saw the senior whom his father admired. But under his father's urging, he greeted him politely and respectfully.
2010 years.
In the border desert, in the area sealed by the barrier, there was a deafening explosion. Yousha witnessed a miraculous scene: the five qi intertwined, water and fire blended, earth and wood grew, and golden light condensed into a human form.
The transformation deep in the white sea of fire seemed to have successfully taken a step forward.
From that day on, until several months had passed, the strange phenomenon dissipated and the underground fell into silence again.
Located inside the barrier, it is a completely chaotic energy, with no trace of human figures. Time has lost its meaning here, but all things maintain their eternal movement and gathering.
The chaotic energy flickered, like breathing, and Jiang Mo's new body was slowly being born.
In 2012, the Mayan prophecy of the end of the world did not come, and the world continued to turn while people talked about it after dinner.
Under the desert, Jiang Mo achieved the fusion of the Five Qi, quickly woke up for a while, and then turned to a new practice, ascending the Xuanming stage. This was another iconic milestone in the triple rebirth. Every time he ascended the stage, a drastic transformation would occur.
This is the fundamental reason why Jiang Mo, who has undergone several evolutions after the 1950s, no longer belongs to the human species in Yousha's eyes.
The fiery silver egg membrane wrapped around the old body, life and death cycle continued, the five internal organs contained magical powers, and Jiang Mo evolved rapidly.
Early 2015.
The white sea of fire went out and the barrier collapsed. Yousha realized that Jiang Mo had come out of seclusion. She walked out of the tent and looked into the distance, eager to see this miracle that she had been waiting for ten years.
The frost silver egg membrane that was the focus of his sight quickly dimmed, turned into ashes and dissipated repeatedly, and the young man who was sleeping in it woke up.
Jiang Mo, still wearing a black robe as usual and sitting cross-legged in front of the campfire, seemed to be interested. Before he could open his mouth, Yousha told him the news he wanted to find out.
"ten years."
"."
"Well, thank you."
Jiang Mo smiled knowingly. His body and mind felt an unprecedented peace. This major breakthrough was just like the time when he first entered the third level on the ice field.
Spanning seventy years, he once again broke through the bottleneck on the path of cultivation and reached an unprecedented height.
