Nightmare Immortal Era

Chapter 120: Brave Retreat in the Rapids

In the ruins, Yang Ning and Su Xiao sat cross-legged, with spoils in front of them.

There were 16 storage bags, countless Peerless Grade, High Grade, Middle Grade, and Low Grade Mortal Weapons.

There were countless men's and women's clothes as well.

It was unclear why there were women's clothes in a male disciple's storage bag, and there were quite a few of them, and they had been worn before.

When they saw these things, both Yang Ning and Su Xiao had embarrassed expressions.

There were tens of thousands of tons of Obsidian Stones, equivalent to 600,000 taels of silver, in Myriad Saints Alliance currency.

There was a cultivation technique called "Six Yin People's Book," which was a method of cultivating mental power mainly used to control the Spirit Weapon, Six Yin Flying Kill.

Lastly, there was the Spirit Weapon, Six Yin Flying Kill.

"We'll split the Obsidian Stones in half!" Yang Ning said, "As for these Mortal Weapons..."

"I don't want them!" Su Xiao shook her head, "These are all your spoils, and I have no use for them. You need them more than I do!"

Yang Ning looked at Su Xiao. His judgment of whether someone was lying was not solely based on their expression.

He listened to their heartbeat, looked for sweat on their skin, checked if their skin temperature rose, examined if there were abnormal electrical signals inside their nose, and observed their brainwave signals.

But Su Xiao always passed with full marks.

In the world before Yang Ning transmigrated, he couldn't trust things like love anymore. His thoughts might have been too deeply influenced, to the point where he had a deep sense of wariness towards everyone.

This kind of mentality was normal on Earth, abnormality was the exception. However, in Extreme Eternal, it became an anomaly.

"Then take this back!" Yang Ning handed the Snow Soul Crystal Bracelet back to Su Xiao.

"You keep it, you need it more than I do!" Su Xiao also didn't want it.

"But I already have the Six Yin Flying Kill!" Yang Ning said, "And as you've noticed, I have many other things that can supplement my combat power, so I don't need the Spirit Weapon as much!"

The name of this Spirit Weapon was written in the secret manual, so Yang Ning didn't give it another name.

"Besides, if you give me the bracelet, how will you explain it to the sect when we go back?"

Su Xiao fell silent. This was indeed a problem.

She wanted to do more for Yang Ning, but she was limited by her status and resources, and there were very few things she could offer.

"Perhaps when we go back, I should reduce the time spent on climbing and socializing, and focus my thoughts on cultivation!" Su Xiao suggested.

The Six Yin Flying Kill looked more handsome than the Snow Soul Crystal Bracelet, but it wasn't as delicate, and its grade was lower.

It was only a Middle Grade Spirit Weapon, and although its shape was more suitable for flying, its flight speed was only 160m/s, and its carrying capacity was much lower than the Snow Soul Crystal Bracelet.

Most importantly, this Spirit Weapon couldn't change its size and its style wasn't suitable for rotation.

But because it was made of metal, it could be used as ammunition for the Dragon Sovereign Cannon. Yang Ning had the Peerless Grade Spirit Weapon, Moon Gold Wheel, countless Mortal Weapons, and the Six Yin Flying Kill, so he had ammunition for high, medium, and low levels.

After tidying up all the spoils, the two looked at the Purple Heart Stones on the ground.

"What should we do next? Should we continue?" Su Xiao asked.

After all, now they had two Spirit Weapons and an unknown number of White Jade Beads. Even if they encountered a large number of outer disciples, they would still have the power to fight.

"What do you think? How likely is it that many outer disciples will participate in this Mysterious Heaven Sect hunting activity, and what are the chances of us finding Mysterious Heaven Sect before them and obtaining the secret of the Purple Heart Stones from them?" Yang Ning asked.

"This" Su Xiao's face immediately turned dark.

She thought for a moment and said, "There are a total of forty thousand sects in the world. Even if each sect sends fifty disciples, there will be two million people participating in this hunt!"

"Wait, where did this data come from!?" Yang Ning asked, "How do you know that there are so many sects in the world?"

"It was compiled by our Celestial Phenomenon Department!" Su Xiao said, "The Celestial Phenomenon Department is responsible for distributing tasks under the First Heaven Sect, so we have access to information about all the sects. And in Extreme Eternal, there are also people from our First Heaven Sect within the Myriad Saints Alliance, and they also provide relevant data!"

Yang Ning was astonished, "You have people in Extreme Eternal and the First Heaven Sect?"

"Of course, they must have planted people in our sect as well. Isn't this a normal thing?" Su Xiao replied.

Well, that is indeed normal.

"So, can't you obtain the Supreme Dao Technique of Extreme Eternal through the mole?" Yang Ning asked again.

"I don't know about that!" Su Xiao shrugged. She was just an outer disciple who happened to have more information because of her Snow Jade Glass Body.

"Alright, continue!" Yang Ning said.

"Okay!" Su Xiao nodded and continued, "At least for now, we can be sure that Mysterious Heaven Sect has three Spirit Weapons. And he was able to defeat my subordinates who were wielding Spirit Weapons, so he might have a Spirit Weapon himself, and it's probably of high grade. Even if we find him, we might not be able to defeat him!"

If there were no outsiders, she could have used the White Jade Pearl to bombard them recklessly. But now that so many people had entered, the sound of the White Jade Pearl exploding could be heard five kilometers away. She didn't believe that people from other sects wouldn't come to investigate after hearing the sound.

With this observation, not only was Mysterious Heaven Sect exposed, but the White Jade Pearl was also exposed.

Yang Ning had said that the White Jade Pearl could achieve such a great effect because it had never appeared before.

Now that it was exposed, the two of them had lost their biggest trump cards.

"So, the probability is very low?" Yang Ning said in a questioning tone, but his words were actually a statement.

"That's right!" Su Xiao nodded, "But I can rely on the power of the disciples from the First Heaven Sect. If we plan carefully, it is still possible to achieve it!"

"Forget it!" Yang Ning shook his head.

"Huh?"

"I said forget it, let's not fight anymore!" Yang Ning said.

"But..." Su Xiao was still a little unwilling. This was the Supreme Dao Technique after all!

"I fear greed in others, and others fear my greed!" Yang Ning said nonchalantly, "In my plan, there was never a place for the Supreme Dao Technique. I came here not just to verify what I have learned. As for the Supreme Dao Technique, if no one else is fighting for it, I might consider fighting for it. But now that everyone is fighting for it, it would be very dangerous for me to join the fight!"

"While we are alive, there is hope. Once we die, we have nothing!"

Su Xiao's eyes sparkled when she heard these words. If Yang Ning didn't know that Mysterious Heaven Sect was himself, he would probably be moved by his words.

But the reasoning was sound. Now is not the right time to find the Supreme Dao Technique. Who knows if there will be any amazing effects like heavenly flowers or golden lotuses when it appears? By then, even if they obtained it, they wouldn't be able to escape.

And he already had the Great Dragon's Image Technique. When he advances to the Qi Refining Stage, he can learn the Great Qi Luck Technique. There is no need to rush to find a third Supreme Dao Technique.

When he advances to the Qi Refining Stage, he will have more means and can come back to find it.

If the trend hasn't subsided by then, he can wait until the Spirit Law Realm, or even after becoming an immortal!

The famous traveler Kong once said, "Don't rush, we have plenty of time!"

"I support you!" Su Xiao nodded heavily and asked, "So, should we leave now?"

"No rush!" Yang Ning said, "Tell me about your problem!"

"My problem?" Su Xiao was initially stunned, then her face suddenly turned red. Did he figure out that I like him!? But then she turned pale again. But he likes You Ruo, will he reject me because of this?

Yang Ning asked, "I think this 'Snow Jade Glass Heart Sutra' is good, whether it's the practice of the Snow Jade Glass body or the focus on mental power. But it seems like your mental power is not very strong. What's the problem?"

"Eh," Su Xiao was speechless. Is this indirectly saying that I'm stupid?

But compared to him, I do seem quite stupid!

"I, I don't know," Su Xiao blinked her eyes. "Master Xin told me that Snow Jade Fairy practiced in this way!"

"Who is Master Xin?" Yang Ning asked.

"Master Xin's name is Xin Huafu. She is my master, but I have to reach the Qi Refining Stage to formally become her disciple!" Su Xiao said. "She also taught me the 'Snow Jade Glass Heart Sutra.' Is there a problem?"

This is what girls are like, outgoing.

If Xin Huafu knew that her disciple, whom she had taught for six years, doubted herself because of a man she had just met less than three days ago, she would probably be so angry that she would vomit blood!

"The scripture is not a problem, but the practice method is!" Yang Ning said. "Try practicing with me once!"

"Ah?" Su Xiao was stunned. What kind of talent is this? I just taught you last night, and today you not only mastered it, but you can also teach me?

Even if we are lovers, this is too much!

However, after practicing with Yang Ning once, it was Su Xiao who fell into self-doubt.

This new practice method seems to be better than the previous one. After practicing once, I feel much more clear-headed.

I never had this kind of feeling before!

"So, is my teacher deceiving me?" Su Xiao looked confused and innocent. "Why? Why would she do that?"

"Maybe she didn't deceive you, but because it's been too long, she doesn't know the true practice method?" Yang Ning said.

He felt that someone like Xin Huafu probably didn't deceive people, after all, Su Xiao had mentioned that she had no background.

But she still had four internal and four external bodyguards, as well as the title of "Snow Master." This could only be attributed to Xin Huafu's efforts.

She might be working hard for her own benefit, after all, having a disciple who is a natural Snow Master might give her more leverage when seeking resources.

But precisely because of this, she wanted to cultivate Su Xiao well.

"So that's how it is?" Su Xiao believed him.

Mainly because throughout this journey, Yang Ning had given her too many shocks. From extracting hearts to using poison, long-range combat, and even being able to use her own Spirit Weapon, he was better at everything she had practiced since childhood!

There was a feeling that he knew everything and could do everything right.

Even if he said now, "Wipe your neck and you'll become invincible," Su Xiao would probably be willing to try it!

"So, should I practice this from now on?" Su Xiao asked.

"Not only that!" Yang Ning said. "Think about what your title is."

"Natural Snow Master?" When she mentioned this title, Su Xiao still felt a bit embarrassed, mainly because the person in front of her was too powerful, making her feel unworthy of such a grand title.

I am a natural Snow Master, then what is he, a natural Thunder Master?

"That's right, since you are a Snow Master, naturally you should cultivate in an environment with snow. Does your practice environment have snow?" Yang Ning asked.

This was something he had researched himself. The effectiveness of this sutra is better in a cold environment.

It doesn't have to be actual snow, you can even practice in a refrigerator, but this is just to highlight the identity of the Snow Master.

Even the practice must be done in snowy weather, which instantly raises the level of style.

"No, not at all!" Su Xiao shook her head. So, after all these years of cultivation, everything I've done was wrong?

"After you go back, try practicing the technique I gave you in an icy and snowy environment. The effect should be quite good!" Yang Ning smiled.

"Mhmm!" Su Xiao nodded. She was initially quite affectionate, but as soon as going out was mentioned, her mood became resentful.

"So, how should I find you after I go out?"

"Why do you need to find me?" Yang Ning asked. "We are just passing acquaintances. After going out, we will each go our separate ways! You can be the Snow Master you were born to be, and I can be the carefree wanderer I am. We shouldn't have any further connection!"

"How can it be like this!" Su Xiao suddenly became anxious, but she couldn't express her true feelings because of her concerns for You Ruo.

After thinking for a while, Su Xiao said, "You are my lifesaver. How can I disregard your kindness? You must give me a way to repay you. Otherwise, my Dao heart will be restless in the future!"

"Uh," Yang Ning was taken aback, then nodded. "Since it concerns your Dao heart, it is indeed a problem!"

"Mhmm!" Su Xiao nodded heavily, not thinking of any suggestions.

After all, there was a person of extraordinary intelligence by her side. He must have a solution.

"Do you know if you have heard of a mobile phone?" Yang Ning asked.

"Mobile phone?" Su Xiao thought for a moment. "It seems to be something that has become popular in the Extreme Eternal Sect?"

"Yes, it is a communication tool. As long as you have one, no matter how far apart we are in the Extreme Eternal World, we can communicate with each other. When you go out, find a user named Bai Qi, that will be me!"

"Okay!" Su Xiao nodded heavily. Mobile phone, Bai Qi, I remember!

Yang Ning smiled and pushed ten Purple Heart Stones to Su Xiao. "It's time to go!"

"Mhmm!" Su Xiao nodded, then took out the Snow Soul Crystal Bracelet and made a cut on her finger.

The Extreme Eternal Formation recorded blood information, so even if her Purple Heart Stone was lost, as long as she took someone else's Purple Heart Stone, she would return to the same location she came from.

Thinking of something, Su Xiao hurriedly asked, "But now there are only six left, what about you?"

"Don't worry, I have enough!" Yang Ning smiled and took out four Purple Heart Stones from his storage bag, reassuring Su Xiao.

"That's good!" Su Xiao patted her chest, then arranged the ten Purple Heart Stones in a circle, covered them with Qi and blood, and activated them.

She wanted to say something else, but this teleportation array didn't have an activation time. In just an instant, she disappeared from the ruins.

Yang Ning let out a sigh of relief. He really wasn't good at getting along with girls, especially the ones who liked him. The watery gaze made him forget how to walk.

"What should we do next, start fighting?" Deep Blue asked. "Two million people, that's two million Purple Heart Stones!"

"I've said it before, while others are greedy, I am fearful. While others are fearful, I am greedy!" Yang Ning waved his hand. "Let's go back first, break through the Qi Refining Stage, and then we'll see!"

"I thought you were just fooling that girl!" Deep Blue said.

When the master's cultivation level was high, even his own artificial intelligence couldn't tell if he was telling the truth or lying.

"This is not a trick. I have always treated people with sincerity!"

"Is that so, Bai Qi?"

"Of course!" Yang Ning nodded. "Am I not Bai Qi? Besides, this is a rule of the sect. How could I dare to disobey?"

"Hehe."

"I'm going to delete the data!"

"Father, spare me!"
