Junior sister took first place again

Ning Jiasheng suddenly came back to his senses, and belatedly felt the powerful pressure emanating from the top expert in the sky, and suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of oppression in his heart.

She already knew one fact clearly, that is, all her secrets were completely exposed in those golden pupils that saw through everything.

Ning Jiasheng couldn't help but feel nervous, but he tried to remain calm on the surface and saluted to the Phoenix Clan in the sky.

The voice was respectful and firm:

"Your Majesty, I, Ning Jiasheng, mean no offense. I simply happened to obtain a golden feather in a secret realm, which left this demonic mark on the back of my hand. I don't know the origin of this feather, but I came here to seek answers in order to erase the demonic mark."

The Phoenix Clan in the sky listened to her words quietly, a hint of approval flashing in their eyes. His voice was like the sound of an ancient bell, melodious and profound:

"This feather belongs to me."

“. . . . . .”

Ning Jiasheng inexplicably felt a little embarrassed and wanted to ask him how to remove the mark, but he opened his mouth and no sound came out.

He accidentally took someone's things but didn't know how to use them. Now he had to ask for the password or something in front of the owner. Even someone as shameless and cruel as Ning Jiasheng felt a little embarrassed.

However, facing the former strongest man in the world, Ning Jiasheng didn't need to say anything. All her thoughts and emotions were clearly seen by the other party.

He looked at the half-blood who was trying to find a crack in the ground to crawl into in mid-air, and told her the answer she wanted with a bit of amusement.

"The fact that you survived and earned its recognition proves that you are exceptional and determined. The next time you make a breakthrough, you'll be able to summon it."

Doesn't that mean I have to hide from people before I reach the Nascent Soul stage?

But how could this be possible! She had to compete for those important resources on the Jindan realm map.

No matter whether you are fighting for it in person or snatching it from other disciples, you have to appear in front of others openly and win it with real strength.

Ning Jiasheng: “…”

Ning Jiasheng was silent for a moment, but still unwilling to give in, he asked, "Your Majesty, is there really no way to hide before this? Even if it's only for a few days or hours?"

"Or I'll give it back to you."

To be honest, Ning Jiasheng was actually a little reluctant.

It's not just because this feather is a unique treasure, but also because its appearance really appeals to Ning Jiasheng's aesthetic taste. Even if she can only hold it and look at it, she will like it very much.

The powerful and beautiful Phoenix simply shook its head and refused, "I can no longer take it back!"

Ning Jiasheng said in frustration, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty."

The Demon King smiled and sighed softly, "There's no need to apologize for this. Even I didn't expect a complete feather to exist in the world. You're lucky to have it."

Ning Jiasheng was even more confused when she heard this. She asked in confusion:

"Your Majesty, how did this feather end up in a place like Flame Ice Mountain?"

"besides--"

Ning Jiasheng bowed respectfully in the air as he spoke.

"Forgive me for being so presumptuous. What exactly happened in the Sun Palace three hundred years ago?"

The Demon King pondered in silence, lowered his head slightly, and stared at Ning Jiasheng with even deeper eyes for a long time.

Ning Jiasheng felt uneasy when he looked at her for so long, and she became a little nervous.

After a long while, he finally said, "Where is that child?"

He did not answer, but instead asked about the past that Ning Jiasheng had been trying to cover up.

This was something that even the master had never discovered the slightest clue about, but it was stated with certainty by a phantom.

Countless thoughts flashed through Ning Jiasheng's mind in an instant, but when he opened his mouth, he found he didn't know where to start.

The Demon King was waiting quietly in the sky. Ning Jiasheng forced himself to be extremely focused, sorting out his thoughts and thinking about what to say.

The truth must be told, but the way to tell the Demon King needs to be considered.

But just as Ning Jiasheng was organizing his words in his mind, the phoenix in the sky spoke, "No need to say more, I already know everything."

Ning Jiasheng gave a dry laugh, but before he could react, he heard a voice from above, suddenly becoming serious. "Improve your cultivation as quickly as possible. After you emerge from the Cangwu Secret Realm and reach the Spiritual Transformation Stage, come to the Sun Palace. By then, you'll understand everything."

Ning Jiasheng's heart sank slightly, and he bowed again, "Your Majesty, I dare not disobey you."

"only--"

She changed the subject and said with a wry smile, "You also know my true identity. If this mark on the back of my hand cannot be hidden, I will be greatly restricted."

At this point, Ning Jiasheng hesitated for a moment, pursed his lips, and said quickly: "My identity as a junior must not be revealed here and now."

The Demon King pondered for a moment, "This feather was lost in a great battle."

Ning Jiasheng raised his head and looked at him.

The Demon King seemed to be lost in memory and continued:

"As for the demonic mark, it is the trace left in your body by the power contained in the feather. Although you have gained its recognition, your Jindan realm cultivation level cannot conceal it no matter what."

"However, as a disciple of the Xuanling Sect, you should have some understanding of the formations of Yuhua Peak."

Ning Jiasheng opened his eyes wide. How could a disciple of Xuanling Sect hide the demonic markings?

She said weakly, "Actually... I'm a swordsman."

The Demon King knew what Ning Jiasheng was thinking without even looking. He chuckled and said, "I know. I also know that your master is the renowned Qinglian Immortal."

Then you should also know that I only know simple sword formations, and I don’t have much understanding of the complex formations of Yuhua Peak.

Ning Jiasheng said silently.

The Demon King listened to her complaints with a smile. He didn't explain, but seemed to think of something happy. He said with a slightly raised tone, "Anyway, I've told you the method. When you can do it depends on your understanding."

"Learning a formation is always easier than advancing to the Nascent Soul stage. With your talent, it shouldn't take much time if you put in enough effort."

As the Demon King finished speaking, Ning Jiasheng suddenly received an extremely complex magic array in his sea of consciousness.

Ning Jiasheng felt dizzy after taking a look, just like when he saw Senior Brother Yan’s horoscope.

Ning Jiasheng quickly gathered his thoughts and exited his sea of consciousness, bowing sincerely to the Demon King once again, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The Demon King nodded slightly, smiling in the wind, "This feather is a destiny for you. It will gradually awaken as you grow. You must discover and control it as soon as possible."

"Especially for the eyes and ears on your body, this feather will be very useful."

Ning Jiasheng was shocked. The Demon King even knew the dormant inner demon.

This was something she had not expected.

Upon seeing this, the Demon King reminded Ning Jiasheng, "Don't worry about what the demons do. Just focus on your cultivation. No matter what happens in the future, don't waver in your determination to improve your cultivation. Only then will you be the winner in the final battle."

“Only then will we have a chance to make up for the regrets left along the way.”

Ning Jiasheng bowed and said, "Junior, please accept my instruction."

She realized that the feather in her hand was not just a treasure that could simply improve her cultivation, but had now become a heavy expectation and responsibility.

Ning Jiasheng nodded heavily, took a deep breath, and said firmly again, "I will live up to your majesty's trust. I will quickly control this feather and devote all my energy to cultivation. In the future, I will definitely slay the evil demon and will not allow the demons' plot to overthrow the Five States to succeed."

The phoenix head moved gracefully, and the Demon King nodded. His figure began to blur, and the flames around him gradually subsided.

"Go ahead. You still have a long way to go. I hope you can stay true to your original intention. The responsibility of humanity has rested on you alone since three hundred years ago."

After saying that, the Phoenix's figure completely disappeared in the flames, leaving Ning Jiasheng standing alone in the ice cave, and a snow monster huddled in the corner of the barrier.

Ning Jiasheng stood in the frosty ice cave, with complex emotions surging in his heart.

She frowned and whispered, "What do you mean it was tied to me three hundred years ago? Ah Sheng didn't even exist back then. I hate it when you in the world of immortal cultivation say things half-heartedly."

The words of the Demon King seemed to still echo in her ears. The awakening of power and the weight of responsibility made her feel a little uneasy, but more of it was an indescribable excitement.

Ning Jiasheng looked down at the demonic pattern on the back of his hand. The dazzling light seemed to tell of its extraordinary origin.

It is the legacy of the Phoenix clan, represents the trust of His Majesty the Demon King, and is also a guide for her future.

Ning Jiasheng reorganized her thoughts and decided to leave the ice cave first and find a safer place.

If she wants to learn the magic circle as quickly as possible, she may have to break it first and then build it.

After all, only the powerful demon race has no distinction between territories.

Thinking of this, Ning Jiasheng removed the barriers and formations around him and walked out of the ice cave.

Seeing this, the snow monster suddenly jumped up and followed her.

If she moves, it means her chances of leaving are getting bigger and bigger!

Ning Jiasheng walked out of the ice cave. The blizzard in front of her had stopped, and the unchanging scenery of half of the Flame Ice Mountain appeared before her.

She took a deep breath of the cold, fresh air and felt her spiritual power become more abundant and purer than before.

He grabbed the snow monster and put it into the storage bag, then disappeared instantly.
