After attaining the Crippled Divine Spirit Body, what Ning Fan obtained was actually not all benefits. While the qualities of his primordial spirit, Sea of Consciousness and physical body were greatly improved, it also brought him some helplessness.
Ning Fan was a Three Apertures Ancient God. Theoretically, he could obtain eight times the medicinal effect of the pills he consumed. However, for some unknown reason, after attaining the Crippled Divine Spirit Body, the effects of a small number of pills were greatly reduced.
Among a hundred types of pills, there would basically be one or two types of pills whose effects would be greatly reduced.
Under normal circumstances, a pill Ning Fan consumed was equivalent to eight times the effect of an ordinary person. However, if he encountered those types of pills whose medicinal effect was reduced, he would usually need to consume several or even tens of pills to achieve the same effect as an ordinary person …
The reason why the medicinal effect of those pills would be reduced seemed to be because some of the ingredients in those pills contained medicinal ingredients that were beneficial to the Crippled Divine Spirit Body.
Golden Marrow Corydalis, Extreme Jade Immortal Ginseng, Silver Leaf Yin Zoysia, Ten-leaf Purple Essence, Hundred Tribulations Star Luo …
Up until now, Ning Fan had discovered more than ten types of medicinal ingredients. As long as the pills he consumed contained one of these medicinal ingredients, more than ninety percent of the medicinal effect would be directly absorbed by the Crippled Divine Spirit Body and be used to slowly evolve towards the Postnatal Divine Spirit Body that was still far away.
The Crippled Divine Spirit Body was very capricious.
It didn't care whether the owner of the body took the pill to heal or to cultivate. As long as the pills were beneficial to it, it would forcefully swallow them and snatch them to improve the cultivation speed of the Crippled Divine Spirit Body …
Because the medicinal effect of the pills that were weakened were only one percent, Ning Fan could easily find the same type of pills to replace them when he was recuperating or cultivating. Even though the process was a little troublesome, it did not affect his cultivation and healing.
Unfortunately, the Immeasurable Pill that was used to break through the bottleneck of the Eternal Immemorial Realm contained the Ten-leaf Purple Essence. Unfortunately, it was very difficult to find a substitute for the Immeasurable Pill. It was the most commonly used cultivation method by the ancient cultivators. Hence, every time Ning Fan consumed the Immeasurable Pill to break through to the Eternal Immemorial Realm, more than ninety percent of the medicinal effect would be taken away by the Crippled Divine Spirit Body.
If he was lucky, he could even pick about ten percent of the medicinal effect of the Immeasurable Pill from the gaps between the teeth of the Crippled Divine Spirit Body and use it to cultivate towards the Eternal Immemorial Realm.
When Ning Fan was unlucky, he might not even be able to absorb half of the medicinal effects of an Immeasurable Pill. In some cases, he might not even be able to absorb one percent of the medicinal effects …
The medicinal effect would be taken away by the Crippled Divine Divine Spirit Body.
If he had a surplus of Immeasurable Pills, Ning Fan would not mind spending most of the medicinal power to improve his crippled divine spirit body while only using a small portion of the medicinal power to improve his cultivation base.
Unfortunately, the number of Immeasurable Pills he had was very limited. Under the weakening of the medicinal power, the progress of his cultivation in the Divine, Demon and Devil Realms was very slow.
Immeasurable Imurable Sect Immeasurable Fan's Heart.
The Sea Spirit and Demed Yang Sect of Divine of Sect, Realm of the Fan of the Meng he,
Imurable Imurable Pills that Stage Sea of Sect Realm Of Sect, Since hand Happened. The Meng Meng. and Immeasurable Meng
Pill had had Pills. had Pills. was Pill Realm.
The most popular pill in the Illusionary World was the Lower Grade Immeasurable Pill, which belonged to the Nine Transformations Golden Pill. The Middle Grade and Upper Grade Immeasurable Pills belonged to the Nine Transformations Emperor Pill and the Ten Transformations Ancestor Pill respectively. They were extremely rare, and the recipe was never passed down.
A low-grade Immeasurable Pill could help a peak Thought-Shattering Realm cultivator convert one tribulation's worth of magic power. If it was used by a new Immortal Venerable, two pills would be needed to increase one tribulation's worth of magic power. If it was used by a First Tribulation Immortal Venerable, the number of pills would be doubled — four pills. If it was used by a Second Tribulation Immortal Venerable, the number of pills would be doubled …
Ning Fan had obtained a total of six thousand and seven hundred Immeasurable Pills. All of them were Low Grade Pills. What kind of concept was this amount of Immeasurable Pills?
If an ordinary peak Thought-Demolisher were to absorb five hundred Infinity Pills, he'd be able to convert five hundred tribulations into magic power and become a new immortal monarch.
6,700 pills were enough for He Clan and Meng Clan to nurture 13 new Immortal Venerables.
However, due to the fact that the debilitated body of a deity was too stubborn, the amount of Immeasurable Pills he consumed on his body could only allow his cultivation base to produce around 100 tribulation magic power.
There was still a huge gap between his cultivation base and five hundred tribulations magic power …
According to this cultivation speed, he still needed another twenty-six to seven thousand Immeasurable Pills to break through to the Eternal Ancient Realm in all three of his cultivation bases.
Twenty-six to seven thousand Immeasurable Pills … Hehe …
Immortal emperor level forces like the He Clan that had a huge amount of Immeasurable Pills were only a minority. Most of the other immortal emperor level forces only had the same amount of Immeasurable Pills as the Meng Clan.
If he could obtain one thousand and seven hundred Immeasurable Pills by annihilating an immortal emperor level force, Ning Fan would need to annihilate another sixteen immortal emperor level forces to gather enough pills for his cultivation base to break through to the Eternal Ancient Realm …
Annihilating sixteen immortal emperor level forces …
This was just like a fantasy. Did he really think that immortal emperor level forces were cabbages that could be found everywhere?!
"If it wasn't because the debilitated body of a deity was so stubborn, it certainly wouldn't be so difficult for us to break through to the Eternal Ancient Realm. How can I obtain such a large amount of pills …? "
"It's not very practical to annihilate immortal emperor level forces. Could it be that I have to find the medicinal ingredients myself and concoct the Immeasurable Pills?"
Ning Fan's frown deepened.
Immeasurable Pills were the supreme treasures of cultivation in the Eternal Ancient Realm. They were strategic resources. Very few cultivators in the Eternal Ancient Realm would sell them. Most of the cultivators in the Eternal Ancient Realm would immediately refine and consume the Immeasurable Pills once they get their hands on them. Only immortal emperor level forces would store a certain amount of Immeasurable Pills in their warehouses in order to strengthen their forces. Of course, it was impossible for them to store too many of them. After all, the cultivation of the immortal emperors of each clan also required a large amount of Immeasurable Pills.
Immeasurable Pills were Nine Revolutions Golden Pills. There were many Nine Revolutions Golden Pill Refinement Masters in the Great Humble Clan. That was why each clan had a considerable amount of pills in reserve. The number of cultivators in the Eternal Ancient Realm was also far more than the number of cultivators in the Four Heavens.
In the Four Heavens Immortal World, the amount of Immeasurable Pills that the Immortal Emperor Level forces had was actually not as much as the Meng Clan. Due to the scarcity of Immeasurable Pills, the difficulty of breaking through to the Eternal Ancient Realm for the cultivators in the Four Heavens was far higher than that of the cultivators in the Great Humble Clan.
If the cultivators in the Four Heavens wanted to break through to the Immortal Venerable Realm, they could not rely on the forces behind them. They could only rely on their own luck to accumulate enough Immeasurable Pills. They could either search for the medicinal ingredients and ask the few Ninth Revolution Golden Core Pill Refinement Masters of the Four Heavens to concoct pills or search for the cave dwellings of ancient cultivators and occasionally find some Immeasurable Pills …
It was because the Ninth Revolution Golden Core Pill Refinement Masters could concoct Immeasurable Pills that they had unimaginable appeal to the cultivators in the Eternal Ancient Realm. In the past, the sect master of the Pill Sect could organize a huge Anti-Ning Alliance with his True Immortal Realm cultivation base. This was the proof of his appeal.
As for the pill recipe, Ning Fan had it.
The Heaven Reaching Cult did not sell the pill recipe of the Immeasurable Pill to the cultivators in the Illusory Dream World. Fortunately, Ning Fan had obtained the pill recipe of the Low Grade Immeasurable Pill when he annihilated the He Clan. Thus, he did not lack this item.
In terms of pill concoction technique, Ning Fan was still not good enough to concoct the Ninth Revolution Golden Pill. However, the Great Humble Clan did not lack pill refinement masters. He could just capture a Gold Core Realm pill refinement master to concoct pills for him.
Medicinal ingredients were the most troublesome part.
In order to concoct a Immeasurable Pill, one would need to consume hundreds of types of five million years old spiritual herbs and four types of innate spiritual herbs as the main ingredients.
The four main ingredients were Ten-leaf Purple Essence, Profound Essence Rehmannia, Five Radiance Cloud Dew and Eight Hundred Million Yin Heavy Wood.
The other medicinal ingredients were still easy to find. No matter how rare they were, one could always find some of them. Only the Eight Hundred Million Yin Heavy Wood was the hardest to find.
As the name suggested, the Eight Hundred Million Yin Heavy Wood was a Yin Heavy Wood that had been formed for more than eight hundred million years. Only at this age could it attain innate medicinal power and become the main ingredient of the Immeasurable Pill.
It took eight hundred million years for it to have the chance to take shape. It was not hard to imagine how rare it was. Every time eight hundred million Yin Heavy Wood was excavated in the cultivation world, no matter how big or small it was, it could be sold at a sky-high price. It could even cause Immortal Venerables, Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors to go crazy over it. If it's a slightly larger Eight Hundred Million Yin Heavy Wood, it would be enough to trigger a war between some Immortal Emperors' forces …
It seems like it's also very difficult to concoct pills by myself …
It seems like I can't be in a hurry to break through to the Eternal Ancient Realm …
Several days later, in the Southern Border Grasslands, Tamu Tribe.
Ning Fan had committed three major crimes in the Wood Flame, Sky Flame and Stone Flame consecutively. His unimaginable achievements had not only shaken the Three Flames but also spread to the entire Great Bei Grassland. As a result, the people of the Great Bei Grassland were extremely afraid of the Ghost Face Ferocious Tide that appeared on the Three Flames Continent.
He was afraid that the ghost masked cultivator would leave the Three Flame Continent and return to the Great Bei Prairie after he was done messing around.
According to the rumors, the ghost-masked cultivator had first killed Bai Lu Enlightened Being at the Dabei Plains, then went to the Tri-Flames Plains to kill the two Martial Monarchs, He Zu and Meng Zu. Who could guarantee that the ghost faced cultivator would not return to the grasslands to cause trouble?
Apart from the Celestial Emperor of the Holy Mountain, there were only the Five Emperors of the Middle Continent and a few Sixth Tribulation Celestial Emperors who lived in seclusion.
Not to mention the fact that one of the Five Emperors of the Middle Continent had been beaten half to death by Sovereign Tu, even the Celestial Emperor of the Sacred Mountain at his peak was quite fearful of the words' ghost-faced cultivator '.
To be able to kill Immortal Emperors, and to be able to kill two of them, how could he be ordinary?
How could an Immortal Emperor be so easily killed?
One should know that even a Seventh and Eighth Tribulation Immortal Emperor would find it difficult to kill a Sixth Tribulation Immortal Emperor. Immortal Emperors were known for being difficult to kill. Even if they were no match for them, they could still escape. Was his real cultivation base really just the Venerated Immortal Realm that was rumored in the outside world? Countless experts expressed their doubts. Obviously, they did not believe it.
They were more willing to believe that Ning Fan was an Immortal Emperor who had reached the Peak Eighth Tribulation or even the Ninth Tribulation Realm. That was why he could come and go as he pleased in the Three Flame Continent. That was why the three Flame Lords could not do anything to him. That was why the two Immortal Emperors could not even run away from him!
Since this devil could come and go as he pleased in the Three Flame Continent, he could also come and go as he pleased in the Sacred Mountain! After all, the overall strength of the Sacred Mountain and the Three Flame Continents were basically equal.
Those Immortal Emperors of the Sacred Mountain who had been living like princes all year round began to panic. Countless mausoleum guardians of the Sacred Mountain were sent out to secretly collect all the information about the ghost-faced cultivator in order to deal with any mishaps …
However, most of the panic was concentrated in the circle of the major forces. In a small place like the Southern Border where one could easily forget about it, they actually did not have much of an idea about the terror of the ghost-faced cultivator.
The existence of an ancient being was too far away from their lives. Besides, no one thought that a terrifying existence like the ghost-faced cultivator would attack a small force in the Southern Border.
Would an eagle prey on ants on the ground?
Hehe …
After the first round of the mausoleum seizing competition ended, all the tribes in the Southern Border returned to their normal lives. The second and third rounds basically had nothing to do with them.
The martial law imposed on the ghost-faced cultivator had nothing to do with these small tribes.
They should eat and drink. Why should they care about other people's business?
If they had the leisure time, they might as well hurry up and complete the lightning sacrifice quota of each tribe and hand over the lightning to the holy envoys who came to collect the lightning.
A storm swept across the entire Great Bei Region. However, it did not affect the lives of those small tribes.
Most of the tribes in the Southern Border were still living peaceful lives with occasional small fights. The only tribe that was not living a leisurely life was probably the Ta Mu Tribe that was plagued with bad luck.
In the past, the Ta Mu Tribe was bullied by the other tribes because they had offended Great Emperor Lou Tuo.
Later on, because of the arrival of an external cultivator, the Ta Mu Tribe suddenly rose to power and actually showed signs of becoming the number one force in the Southern Border.
Unfortunately, not long after that external cultivator came, he destroyed the Punishment Ring and became a sinner. He even colluded with the master of the Blood Martial Weapon and went on a killing spree outside Liu Li City in the Middle State. Several Immortal Emperors were severely injured and more than ten Immortal Venerables and Immortal Kings were killed …
Ning Fan ran away.
The master of the Blood Martial Weapon was captured.
The Ta Mu Tribe became Ning Fan's scapegoat.
Ever since Ning Fan's death, the Ta Mu Tribe had been condemned by various parties. They claimed that the Ta Mu Tribe was the accomplice of that evil external cultivator. They should be punished severely just like the master of the Blood Martial Weapon.
There was even a group of cultivators from the Holy Mountain who came to the Ta Mu Tribe to punish them with anger. However, just as they were about to announce the punishment, an unexpected Immortal Emperor suddenly came to the Ta Mu Tribe. Under his protection, the Ta Mu Tribe did not suffer any punishment from the Holy Mountain. They were just given a verbal warning by the people from the Holy Mountain.
That Immortal Emperor who came to protect the Ta Mu Tribe was actually … Great Emperor Lou Tuo!
Among the five emperors of the Middle State, Tian Du, Bai Hua, Gu Ling and Buddha Sob were all severely injured by the master of the Blood Martial Weapon when they were chasing after Ning Fan. Only Emperor Lou Tuo who had left Liu Li City in advance was smart enough to avoid the disaster.
Everyone in the world knew that Emperor Lou Tuo had been suppressing the Ta Mu Tribe for many years.
However, no one expected that when the Ta Mu Tribe was in danger, it was Emperor Lou Tuo who spoke to the envoys from the Holy Mountain and protected the Ta Mu Tribe.
The simple and honest people of the Ta Mu Tribe soon forgot about Emperor Lou Tuo's bullying in the past and began to thank him for saving their lives.
Outsiders, on the other hand, secretly guessed that Emperor Lou Tuo must have a scheme for his unreasonable actions. As for what his scheme was, no one knew. In short, no one would think that Great Emperor Lou Tuo who had been bullying the Ta Mu Tribe for many years would suddenly find his conscience and become the protector of the Ta Mu Tribe.
All in all, with Emperor Lou Tuo's protection, even though the Ta Mu Tribe was being condemned by the public, they did not face any major disasters.
Not far away from the Ta Mu Tribe were dozens of short mountains.
Emperor Lou Tuo was sitting cross-legged and meditating on the peak of one of the mountains at the center. He was comprehending the profound laws of heaven and earth. Outsiders were not allowed to climb this mountain.
Ever since he showed up to protect the Ta Mu Tribe that day, Emperor Lou Tuo had been staying here. He meditated day and night without meeting anyone and no one dared to disturb his peaceful cultivation.
Some people said that Emperor Lou Tuo was planning a big game of chess. He wanted to ruthlessly scheme against the Ta Mu Tribe. That was why he was staying here.
There were also rumors that Emperor Lou Tuo was just waiting for someone in this mountain range.
Today, an uninvited guest appeared in the mountains not far away from the Ta Mu Tribe. He ignored Emperor Lou Tuo's ban and climbed this mountain.
It was a silver-haired cultivator with a ghost face. The moment he climbed to the peak of the mountain, Emperor Lou Tuo opened his eyes and slowly rose to his feet. He cupped his fists at the ghost-faced cultivator.
Recently, he had heard many things about this ghost-faced cultivator. It was impossible for him not to know about it.
The others did not know who this ghost-faced cultivator was. However, he was good at scheming and he had some guesses …
"Fellow Daoist is finally here. It has only been a few months but Fellow Daoist's name has already spread across the two regions. Countless old monsters of the Three Flames and the Sacred Mountain are unable to eat and sleep in peace. I have already expected that Fellow Daoist would have extraordinary means but I have still underestimated you. Fellow Daoist's means are not just extraordinary. They are simply world-shocking. If I'm not mistaken, Fellow Daoist's current strength should already be above mine, right? "
Emperor Lou Tuo's eyes narrowed slightly and said with a smile.
Deep inside his heart, however, he was not as calm as he seemed on the surface. Instead, he was filled with turbulent waves.
He could feel an extremely heavy pressure coming from Ning Fan's body right now …
"You knew that I would come?" Ning Fan gave Emperor Lou Tuo a meaningful look.
The reason why he passed by the Ta Mu Tribe was because he wanted to see if this force that had some karmic ties with him would be punished because of him.
However, he did not expect to see Great Emperor Lou Tuo here.
"I wasn't completely sure that Fellow Daoist would come. I just wanted to try my luck to see if I could meet the ghost-faced cultivator who has risen to fame today. That's why I stayed in the Ta Mu Tribe. I would like to apologize to Fellow Daoist and ask for your forgiveness. "Emperor Lou Tuo said with a smile.
"Forgiveness? Heh. You used me to get rid of that troublesome disciple of yours and caused me to have no choice but to form karmic ties with the Dead Emperor. This debt doesn't seem to be something that can be resolved with just an apology, right? "Ning Fan asked meaningfully.
"Fellow Daoist must be joking. Of course, I won't expect Fellow Daoist to forgive me with just a few words. However, if I give this to you, it will be enough! "
Emperor Lou Tuo flipped his hand and took out a jade box that gave off a fiery aura and passed it to Ning Fan.
Ning Fan's eyes flashed with ruthlessness. He received the jade box and scanned it with his spirit sense. Then, he was slightly surprised.
There were actually four complete innate fire spirits!
They were not the problematic fire spirits that Emperor Lou Tuo had extracted from his own cultivation base. Instead, they were the newly born fire spirits that Lou Tuo had refined for countless years but had yet to devour and refine!
Ning Fan had devoured an innate fire spirit before this. If he devours these four spirits, the grade of his devil flames would have a great chance to rise from the Twelve Abstinence Grade to the innate devil flames!
This old man Lou Tuo was really generous in asking for his forgiveness …
"It's not enough!" Ning Fan said indifferently.
Emperor Lou Tuo's eyes narrowed slightly. Then, he laughed and said. "I was just using someone else to do my dirty work. I just schemed against Fellow Daoist once. Fellow Daoist really has a big appetite. Forget it. If Fellow Daoist thinks that it's not enough, I still have other compensations that I can give you. In addition to this, it will be enough! "
Then, he took out another jade box and gave it to Ning Fan.
Ning Fan scanned the second jade box with his spirit sense. To his surprise, the second jade box contained fifty Mid-Grade Immeasurable Pills!
The medicinal power of a Mid-Grade Immeasurable Pill was equivalent to one hundred Low Grade Immeasurable Pills!
The price of fifty Mid-Grade Immeasurable Pills was equivalent to the total value of five thousand Low Grade Immeasurable Pills. In fact, it was even slightly higher!
To any ancient force, this item was a rare and valuable item. It was enough to create ten new Immortal Venerables! To Ning Fan now, it was still useful. However, it was still not enough to erase the scheme he had in the past!
"Once? No. You schemed against me a total of three times. You used someone else to do your dirty work three times. Killing Bai Lou was just one of them … "
"The first time I used someone else to do my dirty work was when I just arrived here. You tried to make things difficult for me in the Ta Mu Sect. At that time, you insisted on removing my, Zang Yue's, veil, and made things difficult for me regarding the punishment. In the eyes of others, you were the one who bullied a junior and a weak Ta Mu Sect without caring about your status. It was a sign of your narrow-mindedness and hatred towards external cultivators. However, that was just your disguise. Your tolerance is far greater than what others imagine you to be. You are also more shrewd than what others imagine you to be. This is the first time you put on a disguise. When you schemed against me, you also schemed against Great Emperor Gu Ling … I don't know why you wanted Gu Ling to be the peacemaker of this matter. Perhaps, you just wanted Gu Ling to say the words' five-colored medicine soul 'from his mouth to achieve some unknown goal … "
Lou Tuo's eyes flashed with a strange light as if he did not expect that Ning Fan could see through so many things.
"… The second time you used someone else to do your dirty work was during the first round of the written test when I was seizing the mausoleum. You first destroyed my results and then used the Stone Flame Volcano to suppress me. At that time, I just thought that you were trying to make things difficult for me by hook or by crook. Later on, I understood it. When you schemed against me, you might not have set up a trap for the Heaven Capital. You knew that the Heaven Capital Capital was looking for someone who could see a perfect result. Thus, you destroyed my results … Because my results in the written test were zero, the others rarely paid attention to me. The only one who paid attention to this matter was the Heaven Capital Great Emperor who thought that he had hidden himself well … You also gave me an Innate Fire Spirit. It seemed like you were going to kill me but you might have purposely left me a chance to escape … I don't know what you are plotting against the Heaven Capital Great Emperor. If it wasn't for your scheme, the Heaven Capital Great Emperor probably wouldn't have sent me an invitation to the Ancient Buddha Gathering. You might be the one behind this … I'm guessing that the Ancient Buddha Gathering is also part of your scheme. However, the one you schemed against is not me but Heaven Capital. Unfortunately, I missed the Ancient Buddha Gathering because I had other important matters to attend to. It seems like some of your secret plans have failed … "
Lou Tuo let out a soft cry of surprise. He did not expect that Ning Fan would also be able to figure out the scheme of the Heaven Capital Great Emperor.
"… Then, for the third time, you used me to get rid of Sha Bai Lou. You continued to build up my reputation in order to arouse Sha Bailou's interest in killing me. However, that foolish man didn't even know that all of this was just a scheme of yours to kill him with a borrowed knife … It was a great scheme of yours to get rid of the reincarnated spirit body of the Death Emperor … I don't know how you formed the karmic ties with the Death Emperor. I only know that you dragged me into this without permission and transferred your karmic ties to me. Or perhaps, what you are afraid of is not the Death Emperor's scheme but the Flame Ancestor in his body! "
Lou Tuo frowned slightly but he did not refute Ning Fan's words. After a long time, he smiled bitterly and said, "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from Fellow Daoist … You're right. I didn't get someone else to do my dirty work once. Instead, I did it thrice. Since Fellow Daoist already knows everything, it would be rather embarrassing for me to deny it. "
"Compared to the other supreme beings, you seem to be the most afraid of the Flame Ancestor." Ning Fan said meaningfully.
"Hehe. How can I not be afraid? Being targeted by an existence like the Flame Ancestor, no matter how many lives I have, it won't be enough." Emperor Lou Tuo laughed and changed the topic.
"Could it be that the destruction of your cultivation base by Immortal Concubine Zang Yue in the past was also an outcome that you deliberately created? You would rather destroy your own cultivation base to avoid the Flame Ancestor's scheme, huh … You're really a cruel and merciless person. You can even be so cruel to yourself. "
"… Hehe. Compared to becoming a part of someone else's reincarnated spirit body, I would rather be a free and unfettered Six Tribulation Immortal Emperor forever. Perhaps one day, I will die due to the great heavenly tribulation because my cultivation base can no longer improve. However, dying a natural death like this is still better than being puppets like the Death Emperor and the Light Buddha. Do their cultivation bases really belong to them? Heh … If I wanted to, the Flame Ancestor wouldn't have chosen the Death Emperor as his body in the past. The current master of the Sky Flame would probably be me. However, I don't want to lose my freedom. Thus, I made use of Immortal Concubine Zang Yue and destroyed my own cultivation base. After that, all the schemes that I've been plotting for countless years are just to survive in the gaps of this grassland. I'm meat on someone else's chopping block. What can I do? If Fellow Daoist has been schemed against by a powerful being that you can't resist, you can more or less understand my feelings. Speaking of which, you seem to be a part of the scheme of a certain supreme being of the Great Inferiority. This Great Inferiority Grassland, this Sacred Mountain, these three flames and the entire Supreme Pill Sacred Region are full of schemes between people. It's sad and lamentable … "
"Fellow Daoist, do you know that one of the five venerated beings of the Great Inferiority Grassland is called Ah Feng? Her profession is a songstress and she takes pleasure in manipulating the sorrow and joy of the people. Do you know how many people in this grassland are just created by her illusory technique? They aren't real but they don't know it! Do you know that even the master of the Blood Martial Weapon who was once the strongest person of his generation and was equally famous as the Death Emperor and the Light Buddha was just created by a single illusory technique of that songstress?! Do you know that the songstress had already set her eyes on you the moment you stepped into the Supreme Pill Sacred Region?! Supreme Ten Bees isn't a good person! "
"… There's another person among the five venerated beings of the Great Inferiority. He takes the name Ox Ghost and makes vats as his profession. He mingles in the streets and his real purpose is to comprehend the Dao of Reincarnation from the round mouth of the water vat! If he just wants to comprehend the fortune of heaven and earth by himself, he will be harmless to others. However, he is not a good person at all! Fellow Daoist seems to have a disciple who was born in the Southern Border, right? When that disciple of yours was young, he witnessed his mother dying under the Stone Flame Volcano with his own eyes. He has a monstrous hatred towards the Stone Flame Volcano and because he hates his own cowardice and incompetence, he split his personality … Do you know that this is actually the result of Supreme Ox Ghost's deliberate actions?! There will be a day when that disciple of yours achieves his Dao and dies after being plucked by that old man Ox Ghost. Isn't that sad?! "
"… There's another person among the five venerated beings of the Great Inferiority. He took the name of Medicine Master and gave alms to all living beings while he was still alive. He was respected by countless people of the Great Inferiority and offered incense for many years. It has been passed down from generation to generation and became a custom in this place. That person has a kind appearance but an evil heart. He is not worthy of being called the good corpse of a saint. The Radiant Buddha is only his reincarnated spirit body and a stepping stone for him to return to the cultivation world. Have you heard of this rumor? Back then, Immortal Concubine Zang Yue entered the Supreme Pill Sacred Region and beat the Radiant Buddha who had a shallow cultivation to the point of half-death. After the incident, not only did the Radiant Buddha not hate Zang Yue, he even cultivated his body as a Buddha and fell in love with that evil woman. When that evil woman perished along with the Ancient Heavenly Court in the outside world, the Radiant Buddha sadly rushed out of the Sacred Mountain. It became a popular story for a period of time … The people of the world even wrote a poem to praise the Radiant Buddha. Hehe, it was praising the Radiant Buddha for being a Buddha cultivator but having feelings. Unfortunately, unfortunately, the so-called infatuation with Zang Yue was just a facade. He only coveted Zang Yue's special cultivation technique. that's all. After Zang Yue died and his plan failed, he naturally became depressed. He actually never took half a step out of the Sacred Mountain Mausoleum. However, this depression has nothing to do with any bullsh * t feelings! "
"… One of the Five Supremes conspired against the Fire Spirit Race that was sealed underground. On the surface, he conspired against the Sword Ancestor of the Skyflame Corpse Mountain. The Death Emperor was his puppet and the Tri-Flames were his toys. Countless Tri-Flames elites who obtained the Golden Flame Ancestral Token were all within his calculations. His hand even extended from the Tri-Flames to the grassland. In order to become a saint, he did not hesitate to betray the Southern Alchemy Saint. After the Southern Alchemy Saint died unexpectedly, he made a bet with the Medicine Buddha. The two of them divided the Supreme Pill Sacred Region and created the structure of the Tri-Flames and the Sacred Mountain. What a pity, what a pity. He schemed against this old man but was cleverly avoided by me. He could only settle for the second best and chose to possess the Death Emperor. He schemed against the Sword Ancestor but that Sword Ancestor was transcended by you, causing the matter of obtaining the Sword Ancestor's Supreme Sword Dao to go up in smoke. What a satisfaction, what a satisfaction! The two most shameful miscalculations of the first Flame Ancestor in his life happened to the two of us. Isn't it great?! "
"The Tri-Flames and the Sacred Mountain are just a chessboard for the four Supremes. They are competing and fighting to see who can obtain the Southern Alchemy Saint's relic in the end. They are the first to break through the Ancient Grand Cultivation Realm and the first to become a saint! What a pity, what a pity. These four people are actually still within the Southern Alchemy Saint's calculations. The Southern Alchemy Saint died miserably. There is no record of this in the history of Da Bei, but I still found out the cause of his death through some channels! The Southern Alchemy Saint was born in the Desolate Ancient Immortal Realm of the Origin World. He was the messenger sent by the Desolate Ancient Immortal Realm to retrieve the number one Immortal Emperor of the Primordial Era — the Sword Ancestor's corpse! Unfortunately, the Southern Alchemy Saint failed to retrieve the Sword Ancestor's corpse. Instead, he was severely injured by the Sword Ancestor. In his weakened state, the Evil Corpse betrayed him, causing the Dao Mountain to collapse. Even the Supreme Pill Sacred Region he created was lost in Immortal Emperor Zi Dou's Illusory World. However, how could the Southern Alchemy Saint be willing to accept that? Hence, he plotted and schemed. He wanted to take revenge. It's fine if the Flame Ancestor is living an ignoble life. However, if he covets to become a saint, then one day, he will fall into the trap set up by the Southern Alchemy Saint before his death! "
"Cultivation, cultivation, cultivation … What exactly is this' truth '? Each and every one of them is a hypocrite. Is it possible for them to cultivate the true 'truth'?! I don't believe it but I don't have the right to criticize them because I am also one of those hypocrites. I am a despicable person who lives an ignoble life and uses unscrupulous means. "
"Now, I have told Fellow Daoist many secrets. I'm sure they will be helpful to you. Can you treat this as my third compensation to Fellow Daoist?! "
Emperor Luo Tuo no longer said anything. Instead, he stared at Ning Fan deeply, waiting for his answer.
Ning Fan's expression remained unchanged but his heart was in turmoil. In the past, he felt that there was a layer of mist in the Da Bei Clan that he could not see through. However, with Emperor Luo Tuo's reminder today, he immediately understood where this mist came from.
So that's how it is …
It turns out that every single plant and tree in the entire Da Bei Clan is being schemed by the Saints and Quasi-Saints of the Da Bei Clan!
With such complicated schemes and people's hearts, it was truly a terrifying place.
Ning Fan suddenly felt a little bored.
He actually could not bring himself to hate Lou Tuo who was a true despicable person who dared to speak the truth.
Even though Emperor Luo Tuo had used him, he always had a sense of propriety and never crossed Ning Fan's bottom line. Now that he told Ning Fan the truth and gave him compensation, it helped Ning Fan to clear up the mist in front of him. Given Ning Fan's style of doing things, he was already too lazy to deal with Lou Tuo.
This person's intelligence is like that of a demon. He even knows Ning Fan's character very well …
This person is also good at seeking fortune and avoiding calamity. The fact that he could survive the schemes of many supreme beings from the ancient times until today was enough to prove his capabilities.
This person is even more ruthless and decisive. In order to protect himself, he was even willing to destroy his own Dao Cultivation foundation like a warrior cutting off his own wrists. Such courage is not something that ordinary people can have.
This person can be said to be the most outstanding person below the many supreme beings. In Ning Fan's opinion, this person's innate potential is much higher than the Light Buddha and the Dead Emperor.
"I have indeed received your compensation. However, the way you pointed me out in the end was also because you wanted to use me to deal with some supreme beings, didn't you … Even though your Dao Foundation has been destroyed, your ambition to compete with those supreme beings for the fortune is still there … You are really a despicable person. "
Emperor Luo Tuo laughed heartily. He did not feel insulted by Ning Fan's words at all.
"From today onwards, the grudges between us will be written off. However, if you plot against me again, I can't guarantee that I will let you continue to live!" Ning Fan said expressionlessly.
"Haha. I can't guarantee that. However, I can guarantee one thing. Even if I plot against you again in the future and implicate you, I will certainly have a sense of propriety. I won't let the situation become so serious that I will become your enemy. "
"I hope you can do that."
"Fellow Daoist, if you have time, you can come to my Imperial Peak as a guest. I will certainly welcome you with open arms. Haha, this conversation with fellow Daoist has really made me feel very satisfied. "
"It's fine to be your guest as long as you aren't afraid of being implicated by my identity as an external cultivator. However, if I go to your Imperial Peak as a guest, I hope that Fellow Daoist can meet me in your true form instead of using a clone to talk to me. "
Ning Fan gave Emperor Luo Tuo a deep look and left in a flash.
He had already confirmed Ta Mu's safety and resolved the karma between him and Emperor Luo Tuo. There was no point for him to stay here any longer.
A long time after he left, Emperor Luo Tuo finally heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he smiled bitterly. "That young man really has terrifying eyesight. He could actually see through the clone of my Flame Ancestor Spirit Splitting Technique. * Sigh * I was too fearful of him. That's why I only dared to come here with my clone. I was afraid that he would be stubborn and ignore my attempt to make up for it and kill me. Now, it seems like such a backup plan is a little unnecessary. That young man's karma is very clear. As long as he doesn't cross his bottom line, it's not impossible to reconcile with him … "
"… To be able to kill two Sovereigns in a row, I'm afraid he's one in a hundred generations among the ancient Immortal Venerables … This kind of aura is really oppressive. My avatar's back is actually drenched in cold sweat. The successor of the Ancient Chaos Sect is really no small matter. The descendants of the Lie Origin Sect are really terrifying … "
"It's indeed the wisest decision to bury the hatchet with that young man. Next, let's see if that young man is more skillful or if that female singer has hidden her true strength better … That young man is wrong. In my entire life, the person I fear the most is not the Flame Ancestor but that female singer … "
* Bang *
A loud explosion resounded. Emperor Luo Tuo's body exploded into traces of fiery light and dissipated between heaven and earth.
At the same time, Luo Tuo's true body who was far away in the Middle State received the memory of reconciliation from his clone. He heaved a sigh of relief.
He was the person who hid the deepest among the five emperors of the Middle State. He was also the shrewdest person among them.
The shrewdness of the other four emperors could not be compared to his at all. They would never think that the ghost-faced cultivator who shocked the world would be Ning Fan. They also would not know that if they do not reconcile with Ning Fan now and resolve the karma, they would definitely face a great disaster in the future …
"Let's see which of the great emperors of the Middle State this young man will deal with first. Hehe. Those four idiots had already gone after that ominous star that day. Especially that idiot from the Hundred Flowers Sect. He originally had an alliance with that ominous star but he was actually stupid enough to betray the alliance … My choice is indeed correct. If I don't avoid the incident in Liuli City and attack this young man as well, with his ruthlessness, it's impossible for me to reconcile with him today. "
Night fell on the Middle State.
In the darkness of the night, a silver-haired man with a ghost-face arrived at the border of the Middle State.
He did not immediately enter the Middle State to seek revenge from the few great emperors of the Middle State. Instead, he went underground to look for the one hundred li * (500m per li) stone dragon that was abandoned deep underground.
It was the devil beast of Devil Son Meng Zhen.
It was the pitiful beast servant who had been forcefully controlled by Ning Fan's illusion technique and killed his master with his own hands.
Today, the one hundred li * (500m per li) stone dragon had yet to break free from the control of Ning Fan's illusion technique. It was in agony at every moment. It wished that it could die together with its master. It wished that it could avenge its master and kill Ning Fan. However, under the illusion, it was unable to sacrifice itself to its master, nor could it avenge its master. Because of the illusion, it had no choice but to obey the enemy's orders.
He could neither live nor die!
Ning Fan dived into the ground and arrived in front of the stone dragon. He who had already cultivated the Communication Technique of All Living Things Realm could easily hear the cries of sorrow in the stone dragon's heart.
"Do you still hate me? Do you hate me for killing your old master, Meng Zhen? "
Moo!
This was the roar of sorrow in the heart of the Hundred Li Stone Dragon. It was its resistance to the words "Master"!
It did not have an old master or a new master. It was also impossible for Ning Fan to be its new master!
In this life, it would only recognize Meng Zhen as its master! The king in its heart … was only Meng Zhen!
When he opened his eyes again, they were filled with coldness. "I have a piece of news to tell you. Not only did I kill the Devil Son Meng Zhen, but I also killed the Immortal Emperor of the Meng Family and imprisoned everyone in the Meng Family as incense slaves. Do you hate me even more now? "
Moo!
The Hundred Li Stone Dragon roared even louder! That sad roar contained deep feelings for the Meng family.
It was filled with … intense hatred for Ning Fan!
"Unfortunately, cultivation is such a cruel thing. You all attacked me first and wanted to kill me. Therefore, you all have to pay the price. You are very loyal which made me admire you. However, this admiration is not enough to make you work for me. I rarely have a deep conversation with people. This is my first time talking to a giant beast that I can't speak. I can always control you with my illusion technique and order you around for the rest of your life. However, I'm more willing to give you two other options to free yourself from this endless pain. Either you forget your old master and worship me as your new master or I will give you the chance to sacrifice yourself for your master. "
It was the first time Ning Fan broke free from the illusion technique since he controlled the Hundred Li Stone Dragon.
As soon as the one hundred li * (500m per li) stone dragon's illusory technique was broken, it regained its freedom. The first thing it did was to use every bit of strength in its gigantic body to ram towards Ning Fan with all its might.
Its intention could be seen through even without the Communication Technique of All Living Things Realm.
It did not choose the first option but the second one …
It was just a giant beast that could not understand human language. However, it had more integrity than many people in the cultivation world.
Even though both of them were enemies, Ning Fan still could not hide his admiration for this beast.
Unfortunately, he could not let the tiger return to the mountain just because he admired it.
If he shows mercy to it for a moment, it would probably incur the beast's crazy revenge at all costs …
If he still could not subdue this beast in the end, he could give it a dignified release.
He did not retaliate nor did he put up any defenses. Instead, he allowed the stone dragon to charge at him recklessly and stood firm in the collapsing ground.
He was unscathed.
The force of the stone dragon's charge was comparable to that of a Third Tribulation Immortal King. It could not hurt Ning Fan at all.
The Hundred Li Stone Dragon was shocked, bitter, and sorrowful.
It was not Ning Fan's match. It could not avenge its master. It was impossible …
Meng Zhen was dead. The Meng Family was destroyed. Its home was no longer there …
* Moo *
The stone dragon suddenly stopped attacking Ning Fan. Instead, for the first time since it was controlled by Ning Fan, it lowered its gigantic head and let out a low roar.
It did not lower its head because it was afraid of Ning Fan's submission.
It was just grateful for Ning Fan's mercy for allowing it to die in a dignified manner instead of being controlled by an illusion technique.
Ning Fan slowly closed his eyes.
Then, he heard a loud rumbling sound of the ground collapsing!
The stone dragon destroyed its own demon core! It lost all of its cultivation base! In the end, with its mortal body that had lost its cultivation base, it crashed into the underground rock stratum and died!
It sacrificed itself for its master …
It would never yield …
At this moment, the entire Middle Province was shaken by a strong earthquake. It shocked many people who lived near the border. However, the earthquake subsided very quickly. No one knew what caused the earthquake.
However, because of the earthquake, the ground that stretched for a hundred li * (500m per li) outside the border of the Middle Province collapsed. It seemed to be the result of the collapse of a large amount of underground rock stratum.
Some cultivators who were patrolling the border at night wanted to go underground to investigate. However, they could not reach the depth of the collapsed rock stratum and could only give up.
No one knew that in the depths of the underground, there was a ghost-faced cultivator who had a terrifying reputation. In the darkness, there were countless rock stratum, and he was pouring wine as a sacrifice for a fallen beast.
Then, Ning Fan breathed out a mouthful of devil flame and burned the giant corpse of the stone dragon. He buried the corpse in the fire, and the remains of the stone dragon disappeared in smoke.
Then, he opened his Fu Li Spirit Wheel and absorbed something from Heaven and Earth into his spirit wheel.
"If there is an afterlife, I will find a wise master."
"Speaking of which, with my ancient demon cultivation base, I am already qualified to cultivate the second spirit wheel of the Five Spirit Wheel Technique. Unfortunately, I haven't found a suitable place to cultivate … The environment required to cultivate the second spirit wheel is very harsh … "
Ning Fan's figure flashed and left the underground.
The night became darker.
The clouds and mist of the Bone Spirit Mountain covered the moonlight in the sky. A ghost-faced human figure stealthily sneaked into the mountain.
Just like that, he used the Chaotic World Purple Light to disrupt the layers of restrictive spells of the Bone Spirit Mountain and easily entered the depths of the mountain.
In the entire Bone Spirit Mountain, only the Great Emperor Bone Age could sense the arrival of the intruder!
In the forbidden stone room of the Bone Spirit Mountain, the Bone Spirit Emperor whose physical body was destroyed and only his primordial spirit was left shivering slightly. Then, he turned his head with a trace of fear.
Behind him, there was a silver-haired cultivator with a ghost-face!
"Ghost … Ghost Face Cultivator!"
Now that he had lost his physical body and his primordial spirit was severely injured, the cultivation base that the Bone Spirit Emperor could exert was only equivalent to that of an ordinary Five Tribulation Immortal King.
The other party was the ghost face cultivator who killed two emperors in a row and shocked the world!
"You have two choices. Become my Joss Flame Slave or die!"
Ning Fan's eyes were emotionless and emotionless.
Naturally, he would not be polite to the Bone Spirit Great Emperor who chased after him that day. He was already showing mercy by giving his Joss Flame Slave a way out!
"I … I have a condition. If you can withstand one of my attacks, I will agree to become your Joss Flame Slave. If you can't do it, I will never submit to you even if I have to die! "
The Bone Spirit Emperor's soul almost left his body. He forcefully suppressed the fear in his heart and tried to maintain his dignity as an Immortal Emperor. His eyes seemed to be calculating something, as if he was trying to find a chance of survival.
"Sure."
Ning Fan's tone was still emotionless.
However, his eyes that were glowing with green light instantly saw through all the secrets of the Bone Spirit Emperor.
"Heaven … Celestial Being Realm cultivator!"
The face of the Bone Spirit Emperor's primordial spirit was shocked. His fear towards the ghost face cultivator had risen to an unprecedented level …
