宁无成,天地界的强者,生前已经精心布置了自己的窑洞.
他预料到,在他死后,他的山洞必然会吸引游客,而他对这些游客的期望最多就是一个武圣修士.
如果有武圣来了,他那还带着充沛生命力的残魂,足以轻易压倒他们.
毕竟,天地境和武圣境之间的差距,就像一道不可逾越的鸿沟一样巨大.
按照他的计划,只要不发生意外,他就可以抓住前来探索的人的身体,夺回自己的生命,这要归功于他强大的生命精华.
然而,现实却像一记沉重的打击一样击中了他.
确实有武圣到来,但他们灵魂的力量却让人无法理解.他曾经引以为傲的附身术,连他们识海的门槛都触不到.
这是不可想象的.就算是壮年,他也不敢声称自己可以镇压这样的灵魂!
难道这就是武圣的灵魂吗?还是他死得太久了,这个时代的武圣竟然如此强大?!
"你刚才说什么?"方媛冷漠的目光扫过来.
太慢了...我明明已经攻击过你了...
宁无成心想,但很快意识到,或许是自己的攻击在对方眼中太弱了,就像蚊虫叮咬一样,连普通人都察觉不到...
宁无成虽然尴尬,但反应很快.他的面部表情瞬间从凶狠变成了震惊,几乎就像换了帧一样,然后又恢复了友好的模样.
"咳咳,我只是说今天天气很好.我以为我应该出去走走..."
说着,宁无成夸张地动了动四肢,似乎试图显得很活跃.
You're a ghost without a body—what are you even moving for...
Fang Yuan found this amusing but didn't expose it. Previously, he had cleared so many enemies too quickly, leaving many questions unanswered. Now he had a ghost in front of him who could help clarify things.
"This friend, may I ask your name?" Ning Wucheng tentatively asked.
Fang Yuan ignored his inquiry and instead threw out a question: "Where is this place?"
Seeing that Fang Yuan was so indifferent, Ning Wucheng felt displeased but didn't dare show it. He answered somewhat confused: "This... this is naturally my cave..."
"I think your brain's not too clear from being dead for so long. I'm asking which realm this is." Fang Yuan furrowed his brow, his tone slightly impatient. "I ascended from the lower world, and I'm not familiar with this world. I need you to explain it to me."
"Ascended from the lower world?" Ning Wucheng was momentarily stunned, his eyes flashing with disbelief. "Is this really possible...?"
"Why? You seem surprised by this?"
"Mm." Ning Wucheng nodded. "I've only seen a few fragments in ancient texts about the ascension from the lower world..."
At this point, he inwardly marveled. No wonder this Martial Saint was so different from the usual ones—he had ascended from the lower world.
Tsk, the power of a Martial Saint from the lower world is outrageous.
Fang Yuan raised an eyebrow. This made sense, as no one had ascended from the lower world for nearly ten thousand years.
"Then, have you heard of an organization called 'Heaven'?" Fang Yuan continued to ask.
"I've never heard of it." Ning Wucheng shook his head.
This was strange. From the notes left by the Pope, it seemed there was indeed an organization called 'Heaven' in the upper world. Yet no one here seemed to know about it...
Could it be that I ascended to the wrong place? Is there more than one location in the upper world?
"Alright then, continue telling me about this world." Fang Yuan pressed on, dismissing his doubts for now.
"Alright..." Ning Wucheng respectfully responded and began explaining in detail.
This world was called "Four Heavens" and was divided into four great continents: East Divine Continent, West He Continent, South Zhan Continent, and North Ju Continent.
The North Ju Continent was further divided into twenty-five domains, each vast beyond the size of the most powerful nations of the lower world.
Fang Yuan was currently in the "North Domain," one of the twenty-five, located at the northernmost point of North Ju Continent, a very remote place.
No wonder that female demon had complained about this place being a backward region, but even so, this land was far more prosperous than the lower world.
It seemed it was time to revive the glory of his "Great Xia" here.
Seeing Fang Yuan lost in thought, Ning Wucheng felt bitter. After waiting so many years, he was now facing a monstrous Martial Saint—he'd failed to make a profit.
What should he do now...
Possessing the body was definitely out of the question. The immediate priority was to trick this disaster away and continue waiting for the next lucky person.
"Ahem..." Ning Wucheng rubbed his hands and forced a flattering smile. "Do you have any other questions? If not, I'm going to return to my jade slip and rest."
As he spoke, he pointed to another jade slip. "This 'Nine Palace Star Pivot Array Diagram' is a token of our meeting. I just hope you can help me close my coffin lid when you leave..."
Ning Wucheng looked like a fox trying to please a tiger, afraid that a single wrong move might cause Fang Yuan to destroy his remaining soul.
But unexpectedly, Fang Yuan suddenly changed the topic, his gaze sharp like a blade as he stared at him:
"Just now... you wanted to possess me, didn't you?"
"Huh?" Ning Wucheng froze. Fang Yuan's directness made him feel awkward.
"If you dare to lie, your coffin..." Fang Yuan lightly tapped the coffin, producing a dull echo, "It might not hold up."
"Yes." Ning Wucheng had no choice but to admit it, "My lifespan is running out, and my potential is limited. I had no choice but to resort to this plan. Who could have known..." He stole a glance at Fang Yuan, "Your soul is so powerful..."
"Since you wanted to possess me, why did you set up so many traps in your cave?" Fang Yuan asked again.
"Isn't it to create a sense of reality? It would look too fake otherwise..." Ning Wucheng awkwardly smiled. "Also, I'm a Heavenly Earth Realm cultivator. Not just anyone is worthy of becoming my body. I had to test you..."
"I see..." Fang Yuan nodded. This old man had high standards.
"Then hand over your 'World-breaking Technique,' and I'll spare your life." Fang Yuan's eyes gleamed coldly.
"World-breaking Technique? No problem!" Ning Wucheng hurriedly agreed, and a jade slip flew out from the bottom of the coffin. "Friend, please take a look. This is my ultimate technique..."
Before he finished speaking, the jade slip landed in Fang Yuan's palm.
Fang Yuan immersed his mind into it and found that it was indeed a technique called "Zhou Tian Qiao Cang Method"!
Another great gain!
"Not bad." Fang Yuan nodded lightly, and then his eyes turned cold.
Now that he had what he wanted... it was time to finish this!
Zheng—
The Earth Sword suddenly shot out from his body, and the surging sword Qi immediately surrounded Ning Wucheng's spiritual body!
"This... Martial Saint!" Ning Wucheng screamed in terror, his scholarly image gone. "Didn't you say... you would spare me if I handed over the technique?"
Fang Yuan smiled coldly, "I lied."
He lifted a finger, and the sword Qi tightened immediately. "Hand it over—still die!"
