Lord of the Starry Sky

After Grandma Tao said a word, she became silent again.

Shen Jian looked thoughtful.

He thought of the long black cloth banner that Granny Tao and the old man in gray robe were fiercely fighting over.

The black flag was originally embroidered with a dark gold peach blossom, but because of the old man in gray robe, it now fell on Shen Jian's left wrist.

After trying to figure out the power and artistic conception, Shen Jian had a vague understanding of some methods of Netherworld Dao.

That black flag didn't show much fighting power.

The founder of Netherworld Dao, the only magic weapon left in that mansion, Shen Jian felt that he could not underestimate it.

Perhaps the value of that magic weapon is reflected in practice rather than fighting.

What Granny Tao said seems to confirm this.

Of course, it is also possible that the value of this black flag is reflected in the Nether Recall spell, which is not directly combatable.

Shen Jian still needs to continue to figure out the secrets involved.

"The soul beads of the Netherworld Patriarch were not found here. Do you have any clues elsewhere?" Shen Jian asked.

Granny Tao would naturally not answer such a question.

Pang Hai looked confused: "I don't know. According to Senior Tao, after so many years, every place that can be found has been found, or it has been destroyed.

This time, the Peach Blossom Secret Realm is an extremely secretive place, which is why it has been preserved for so many years and no one has found it. Senior Tao, the most orthodox direct descendant, has spent a lot of time and effort to find clues.

No soul beads have been found here, and I really can’t think of anywhere else to find them. "

"Is it possible that it fell into the hands of others, or..." Shen Jian looked at Pang Hai: "It has been destroyed and no longer exists in this world?"

Fatty Dahai’s face looked even more bitter than eating Coptis chinensis: “…it’s not impossible.”

"Is there any alternative?" Shen Jian asked.

"According to what Senior Tao said, it is difficult and cannot be solved at this stage." Pang Hai shook his head: "Finding the soul beads of the ancestor is the fastest and most effective way. Other methods will only make the hope even slimmer."

Shen Jian patted him on the shoulder and expressed deep sympathy: "Come on."

Pang Hai showed a smile that was uglier than crying.

"That black flag may help you two make great progress quickly. No matter what, it is always a good thing for you." Shen Jian said.

Pang Hai was not so optimistic: "I hope so, but how can there be a free lunch in this world?"

Shen Jian nodded: "That's true."

The same principle applies to the Netherworld Calamity on his left wrist.

However, he had other methods.

Shen Jian's right hand hung by his side, his fingers gently pinched.

Tianhai and his party rested in Shuanghe City for some time. In addition to the treatment and recuperation of the wounded, Shen Jian, Pang Hai, Director Li and others also had to be questioned by relevant federal government staff.

The main target is naturally aimed at the people in the Netherworld.

First, it was over the Shushan Mountains, and then here in the Snow Mountains of Northern Xinjiang. In just a few months, the Netherworld Dao continued to appear and cause chaos.

Although most of those Netherworld monks have been executed, there may not be any conspiracy among them, and they appear one after another for different purposes, but their actions still seem to be provocative.

Such actions obviously attracted the attention of the federal government.

In the coming time, the government will definitely further crack down on the Netherworld and raise the level of already stringent supervision again.

For Shen Jian and Pang Hai, it's good that they didn't reveal their flaws.

Ancestor Shenglong greeted Shen Jian and others before returning to Jinghua City with Song Dian.

His social circle is basically in Beijing, and he has little contact with Tianhai City.

On the contrary, everyone in Tianhai saw the kindness of the Yuanying Ancestor to Shen Jian, and the teachers just paid it back. When Hu Wei and other students saw it, they were inevitably even more envious.

Tianhai University naturally also has ancestors in the Nascent Soul stage.

But that's the school's relationship.

These ancestors at the Nascent Soul stage take care of their students because they are students of Tianhai.

However, Patriarch Shenglong's care for Shen Jian was Shen Jian's personal relationship, so the difference goes without saying.

That is to say, people like Liu Cheng, who are almost equivalent to Director Li's disciples, are better off. The relationship with Director Li, other than the teachers and students of the school, is to a certain extent his own.

But Director Li is not the ancestor of the Nascent Soul Stage after all.

At the peak of his golden elixir stage, he might have a chance to conceive a baby, but there is definitely no hope at the moment.

The difference between the Nascent Soul stage and the Golden Elixir stage always exists objectively.

In terms of weapon refining, medicine refining, civil affairs, governance, etc., there may not be that big a difference.

However, for a category such as martial arts monks, which is mainly measured by combat effectiveness, the difference in realm strength has a very intuitive impact on the distinction between high and low status.

For Taoist Shenglong himself, the change brought about by whether he is Venerable Shenglong or Ancestor Shenglong is extremely obvious.

At least if he was still a Jindan-level venerable, as a student of the prestigious Tianhai school, Hu Wei and others would not be so envious of Shen Jian.

A few days after the master and apprentice of Patriarch Shenglong left, the teachers and students of Tianhai University also embarked on their way back to school.

This time they came in, it seemed a bit anticlimactic and ended hastily.

But Director Li and other teachers are quite satisfied.

Although the sudden incident forced the suspension of their originally planned activities, the incident itself was a good experience for the students who entered the snow-capped mountains this time.

Difficult to simulate, difficult to repeat.

This in itself is the most rare, and it is also the goal of their trip to the mountains.

The experience was extraordinary, and even better was that there was no real fatal accident. Director Li really couldn't ask for more.

If there is any flaw, it is that except for Shen Jian and Pang Hai, most of the others just watched and did not really participate personally.

But having said that, if most people are really involved, I'm afraid they won't be able to make it out of the snow-capped mountains alive.

From this aspect, Director Li had to lament Shen Jian's fate.

After returning to school, the main job of Director Li and other teachers is to further hone these students so that they can learn from this experience and truly grow and progress.

After the results of the final exam at the end of the year came out, it turned out that their internship was very effective.

All students from the Martial Arts Department of Tianhai University who participated in the activity obviously benefited from it.

It is not surprising that he is the best among the best in each grade, so his outstanding performance in the final exam is not surprising, but everyone has obviously further expanded his lead.

After final exams, it’s time for a new year.

Everyone can have a pleasant winter vacation and have a good New Year.

Shen Jian, on the other hand, went into seclusion to study after the final exam, without even bothering with his grades.

The spiritual fire in the cauldron in the dantian burned blazingly, fiercely and vigorously, yet seemed light and breezy.

Everything fell into place.

As the fourth spiritual fire in the cauldron lit up, the fourth spiritual pattern appeared on the surface of the cauldron. Shen Jian's cultivation success took a step further, reaching the fifth level of the foundation building stage.
