C6 For Tomorrow!
"Ahem, ahem, oh... Heavenly Venerate Wuliang, this old man came from a very distant place and passed by this place. When he saw the golden light shining here, he came here to take a look. Since I can calculate, I knew that a child was born here, so I wanted to see it for myself." The old Taoist in linen clothes scratched his head in embarrassment and laughed awkwardly.
"Senior, to be honest, my grandson was indeed just born. However, two days ago, he was injured by a mysterious expert and his Ren and Du Meridians were destroyed. I'm afraid that he is not fated with you." Ming Zhendong was also baffled. Wasn't the matter of his grandson being crippled by a mysterious person strictly confidential? How did this old Taoist know?
"Bring him here quickly and let me take a look." It seemed that the old Taoist was quite anxious to see this child.
"Alright, please wait a moment." The old marshal walked into the inner hall and came out with the child in his arms.
The old Taoist in linen clothes took the child and stretched out his hand to hold the child's hand. After a while, he stroked his beard.
"Eh? The physique of the five elements, the power of the Immortal World, interesting. He destroyed the meridians of others but didn't take their lives. He is indeed ruthless, hahaha... Although it seems to be impossible, it is not impossible. Although I came a step late, I haven't reached the point of being unable to do anything. Boy of the Ming family, let me ask you. Answer me honestly." At this moment, the attitude of the old Taoist in linen clothes seemed to have changed 180 degrees. Sometimes, he would frown, and sometimes he would laugh, giving people the feeling that he was crazy.
"Mm, Senior, what do you want to know?" The old marshal asked suspiciously.
"I said that the channel has the ability to heal your grandson. Do you believe me?" The old Taoist stared at Ming Zhendong as if he was trying to see through something.
"Senior, you are so powerful. Of course, I believe you. However, I am not related to you, so how can you help me?" If the old Taoist could really cure Lang'er, then it would be great. However, if a crazy old man said that he had the ability to cure Lang'er's injuries, then at least there was a historical record in Profound Heart Continent. No one had ever heard of a person who could cure Ren and Du Meridians.
"Okay, as long as you listen to my arrangements, it is not impossible to cure this child. When I came here, I deduced that fifteen years is a big obstacle. After fifteen years, this child will have an opportunity. If he can persevere, he will be able to turn the danger into a blessing. Otherwise, he will definitely die. Ming family brat, do you dare to take a gamble?" The old Taoist said indifferently.
"Lang'er had already lost his future. Now that he has the chance to be saved by Senior, there is hope for him to recover his meridians. Why would I not dare?" It was reasonable. He had no hope at all, but now that he had a chance to recover, although the hope was slim, he would still try his best for the Ming family.
"Okay, let's start with fate. Has this child taken a name yet?" It seemed like a boring topic, but it was indeed asked by this old senior.
"It is called Bright." Although the mad old Taoist priest asked a boring question, the old marshal still answered.
"The name does not match the child's fate. It needs to be changed. Right now, I hope that the child can live past tomorrow. If not, the child's name will be called tomorrow. At the same time, I hope that he can live past one tomorrow after another. And the biggest number in the number is nine. It will last for a long time, so it's better to call it Ming Jiutian." The old Taoist priest seemed to be talking to himself, but the three of them felt that it was very reasonable. For a moment, no one refuted him.
"Alright, since it is Senior's name, then Bright's name will be Ming Jiutian from now on. He will live for tomorrow." The old marshal also felt that the name had a profound meaning. He only hoped that his grandson could live past one tomorrow after another like the name.
"The problem of fate has been solved. Now, we will solve the problem of fifteen years. Just now, you all mentioned the inner core of the Flame Beast. The Flame Beast's inner core indeed has the effect of repairing the meridians, but it is only limited to adults. This child is too young, and his meridians are weak. If the Flame Beast's inner core is used to treat him, the meridians will be destroyed, and the body will explode. Hmm … It seems like this is the only way. Wait for a moment …" After saying that, the space began to spin, and the old Taoist priest disappeared from where he stood.
Seeing the old Taoist priest disappear in the blink of an eye, the three of them felt very surprised. The old Taoist priest looked crazy, but his strength was very strong. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was the strongest person in his life.
"That old Taoist is really powerful. He actually hit two of my brains. I didn't even notice it. Luckily, it was just two of my brains. Otherwise, I wouldn't even know how I died." At this moment, Dongfang Qing still felt a lingering fear in his heart. Since he was young, he had never felt such pressure from anyone.
"Don't worry. He won't kill you. Those who can tear space apart are no longer from our realm." The old marshal said thoughtfully. Because the Ming family had a secret scripture of the Immortal Realm. It was not an Immortal Realm cultivation technique, but a record of the humanities and geography of the Immortal Realm. When Ming Zhendong was young, he would read it as if it was a fairy tale.
With another turn of the space, it seemed that the old Taoist had returned. However, when the space appeared again, the old Taoist did not appear. Instead, a few purple lightning bolts as thick as a bowl struck the ground in the hall. Instantly, the earth shook and the mountains shook. After the lightning, there were a few space fragments left behind.
"Eh … What is this?" Dongfang Qing was curious, but he was also worried about the danger. He did not dare to touch it directly. Instead, he pulled out his sword to pick it up. "Dingdang …" The sword was easily cut into three pieces. Dongfang Qing also opened his mouth wide in fright. Although his sword was not the best divine weapon in the entire continent, it was at least forged from Heavenly Mountain Cold Iron. Not only was it extremely sharp, but it was also abnormally hard. However, the sword was actually cut into three pieces just like that.
"Brat, it seems that you are not stupid enough to touch it with your hands. Otherwise, your life will be in danger." Just as he finished speaking, the old Taoist priest walked out of the spatial passageway.
However, his current appearance was even more unsightly than when he first came. His messy hair was still smoking, and his originally fair face was now covered in dust. The three of them wanted to laugh, but they didn't dare to, afraid that this crazy old Taoist priest would attack them if he got angry.
"Senior, what are you doing?" Ming Zhendong looked at the old Taoist priest's appearance and wanted to laugh, but he still couldn't help but ask.
"Nothing. I haven't fought for a long time, and I don't know what to do. In the end, I used a little too much strength and touched the spatial wall. I was struck by the lightning formed by the rules. Oh right, I have already taken the Rank Nine Flame Beast's inner core from you." As he spoke, he raised the inner core in his hand to show it to the three of them.
The energy waves emitted from the inner core could be felt. The power of a Rank Nine Demon Beast was definitely not something that the three of them could fight against, but it was easily killed by this old Taoist priest. Not only that, he was not injured at all after being struck by the lightning of the spatial wall. The old Taoist priest's strength made the three of them reevaluate him.
"Senior, you said that you were struck by the lightning of the spatial wall. Are you alright?" The old marshal also dropped his jaw in shock. In the Immortal World's Secret Manual of the Ming family, even an Immortal Monarch Level would be seriously injured if he was struck by the lightning of the spatial wall. Outsiders might not know, but Ming Zhendong knew.
“It’s a small matter, a small matter. I feel that it’s too weak to scratch it. I’ve already taken the Flaming Beast’s inner core. I’ll go back and refine a Flaming Breaking Pill. I’ll come back tomorrow.” Seeing the old Daoist priest’s nonchalant attitude, the old marshal was sure that this senior priest was definitely a master with extraordinary strength.
