Above all spirits

Chapter 131 The calm before the storm

Chi Xian'er frowned slightly as she looked at Ji Ning, her expression and spirit remaining completely unmoved.

When faced with an overwhelmingly powerful being, lying is not an easy thing.

Or perhaps he's a master con artist.

Or perhaps he truly believes that the people he knows can pose a threat to him.

But all concerns were ultimately defeated by the arrogance of the Seraphim.

He said calmly.

"The frog at the bottom of the well."

"The Seraphim Church is the faith church of the Seraphim God Clan in the Upper Realm. You should know that even in the Upper Realm, the Seraphim God Clan is one of the top beings, and we have never heard such arrogant words."

"I really don't know where you, a person from the lower realm, get your confidence from."

"I hope that we will meet again soon as you said, and that you can maintain this confidence."

Chi Xian'er stopped trying to persuade her, spread her wings and took to the sky, leaving Crimson Flame Star together with the white light from before.

This is the end.

Everything around seemed to have returned to normal.

The sound of voices gradually came into view.

"Holy crap! What's with that weird wind again?! Where's it coming from?!"

"I just arranged my fruit, and it's scattered all over the floor again."

Strange things happen every year, brother.

"Besides, the weather is unpredictable and changes frequently, which is quite normal."

"Don't overthink it, it's not a big deal."

The previously invisible ring had blocked the sight of Chi Tong and Chi Xian'er from the view of the passing crowds.

When Ji Ning and his group made contact with them.

Its scope of effect also includes them.

Perhaps due to their physical constitution and identity as non-divine beings, after being covered by the Ring of Invisibility, the group could no longer hear the sounds of the surrounding crowd.

It's as if we're completely isolated from the world.

Until now, Chi Xian'er has left.

They then regained their "freedom".

But this freedom brought them no comfort whatsoever.

Su Xiaoqian was the first to break the unusual silence.

"How about... we go find Brother Gu first?"

Ji Ning remained silent.

Shang Wenqing remained silent, helping the shadow guard to his feet and feeding him various pills. The medicinal fragrance emanating from them was easily noticeable, and each of these pills was quite valuable.

But this is just a delaying tactic.

Although the Shadow Guard's right side was burned black.

However, it is not difficult to see the golden sparks in the cracks.

The medicinal power and the saintly energy within him were still locked in a tug-of-war with the Blazing Heavenly Fire.

"This can't go on like this!"

Perhaps because Su Xiaoqian had only known Bai Qing'er for a day and didn't have much of a bond with her, she recovered relatively quickly.

But Shang Wenqing, and especially Ji Ning.

For the past two weeks, he has been almost inseparable from Bai Qing'er.

These past two weeks have been more fulfilling than ever before for him.

Ji Ning loosened his clenched fist, not using his domineering aura to repair himself, and spoke hoarsely, still in pain.

"you're right."

"Uncle Shang, Shadow Guard, thank you."

"Let's go together to the imperial city. If we're talking about which library on the entire Crimson Flame Star is the best, it must be the one belonging to the dominant power on this star."

"Brother Gu is definitely still looking for a cultivation method for Qing'er."

"As for the Shadow Guard, there should be a way to treat him as well."

"it is good."

Shang Wenqing felt a little heavy-hearted, though he couldn't quite put his finger on why. Unlike Ji Ning, he wasn't as naive. Although he was on Gu Yun's side, he would often weigh the pros and cons.

Other circumstances don't really matter.

For Gu Moshi, who was estimated to possess pseudo-innate strength, none of this was a big deal.

It doesn't matter if I place a small bet or a small amount of chips.

But it's different now.

That is a god.

Unlike a lone demon.

The gods have always been a unified whole.

Most importantly, they don't care about the demon's immortality.

Because the gods are the same; they are immortal in the upper realm and indestructible in the lower realm.

He had also heard of the Seraphim Cult and the Seraphim Temple.

Very strong.

It is not something that can be done by ordinary forces.

This time, choosing sides... it seems like we're risking everything.

...

"Werner, do you think water magic might be more suitable for girls?"

Gu Yun had already toured the Crimson Flame Royal Family's library, and having also explored Canglan Star before, he considered all the cultivation techniques that seemed somewhat suitable.

"Oh, don't worry about it. Let her choose for herself. This girl is quite talented. Just choose one she likes. Cultivation techniques are just a transition. When she goes to the Upper Realm, she will still need to rely on soul techniques or powers."

Gu Yun nodded.

"That's true."

"In the Gamma Dimension, you still have to use soul matter to fight; relying on qi is a bit too low-level."

"I wonder if assimilating the Master of Power can temporarily grant me access to his research and application experience. If so, that would be best, as I can then pass on some of the powers I've recorded to Qing'er."

Werner said with some surprise.

"Have we reached the third stage of the assimilation power you mentioned?"

"We arrived a long time ago. What else do you do besides sleep and watch shows every day? I tried it out on the way after I got the Soul Control device."

"Hey, hey, hey, slander! I'm suing you for slander!"

Werner retorted guiltily, saying that he could be considered an incarnation of Gu Yun now, and his strength was fixed at about 70-80% of Gu Yun's strength. He knew all the skills, but his proficiency was not high.

Why bother working hard? Just lie down and it's all over.

Gu Yun ignored him and continued speaking.

"It's a pity that we can't cross-reference them. We're not that strong yet. If we don't understand them well enough, we can only use templates."

"That is to say, apart from the original body's powers that can be shared, when I assimilate and manifest the Star Moon Demon template, I can only use the powers it possesses plus the powers I myself have. I cannot use the powers of other templates."

"Holy crap, that's pretty awesome. If you assimilate a Master of Power, you'll be set for life."

"It's hard to say. Su Xiaoqian's success was due to the assimilation of her soul. Assimilation of the Star Moon Demon didn't grant me the demon's memories. The Power Master probably stores knowledge through memories, which is quite difficult."

"besides."

"Leaving aside memory, there have been precedents, so I feel that as long as we find the right method, it will be fine."

“I didn’t encounter this in the Upper Realm before, but I found it in the Lower Realm. Assimilation cannot assimilate intentions, not even imperial intentions. I estimate that even mortal intentions might not work.”

Werner pondered for a moment, then said.

"I don't quite understand '意' (meaning/intention). From what you've said, the principle seems to be a way to materialize the content of one's insights after they have been realized. Could it be that '意' itself actually exists after assimilation?"

"It's just that you don't have his experience, his memories, or his insights, so you can't recreate his meaning."

Gu Yun nodded in agreement.

"That's what I think too. In short, it's a bit of a pity that I can't assimilate the power of the will. This means that I can only rely on myself to condense the imperial will and can't directly assimilate the imperial will of others."

"Ok?"

"Ji Ning?"

Gu Yun, who had just come out of the imperial city, saw Ji Ning talking with Xiao Li from afar.

But I sensed that his mood wasn't quite right.

Gu Yun's eyelids twitched.

He had a bad feeling.
