[Ten Billion Rain Divine Clone]: An ancient life-saving divine ability obtained from the last glacial cave abode. It was the technique that made the Water Sect's Eight Disciples famous. When facing certain death, this technique could allow one to split into billions of clones and escape. The deeper one's comprehension of the water element, the harder it would be to kill the clones created by this technique.
[Ten Lions Ten Elephants Pill]: A semi-finished Ten Transformation Ancestral Pill. It seems to be a pill that strengthens the physical body, but its effects are unknown.
[Rusty Iron Box]: A strange iron box that ordinary low-grade Innate magic treasures can't break. It seems to have the aura of the Water Palm Master.
[Connate Magic Treasures]: Eight in perfect condition; two half-destroyed.
As soon as he returned to the Myriad Saints Pass, he went into seclusion to study the loot he got from this trip.
He'd obtained quite a lot of spoils from this trip, and he'd obtained eight intact low-grade Natural World Magic Treasures. To ordinary immortal emperors, eight Innate Magic Treasures were enough to drive them crazy. However, to Ning Fan, these Innate Magic Treasures were only fit to be used to refine divine liquid regardless of whether they were in good condition or not.
From the abode of the eldest of the eight disciples of the Water Sect, Ning Fan also obtained a scroll of a divine ability called [Ten Billion Rain Spirit Clone]. When he was in the Glacial Immortal's Cave, Ning Fan did not look at this jade slip in detail because he felt that he did not lack any divine abilities. Even if this was a scroll of an ancient Grand Cultivation Realm divine ability, it would most likely be useless to him.
However, after taking a closer look, he discovered that Ten Billion Rain's avatar wasn't as useless as he had imagined.
If this technique was successfully cultivated, one could shatter one's body into billions of avatars at the moment of certain death. At that time, as long as one of the avatars managed to escape, one's life would be saved. It was extremely practical.
Many of the enemies Ning Fan had fought before knew similar abilities to escape for their lives. Ning Fan had never cultivated this kind of ability before. Now that he had obtained this technique, he could make up for one of his shortcomings.
This was the shortcoming of escaping techniques.
Considering that there were heaven-defying monsters like the Blood God Geng Wu in the Eastern Boundary River, Ning Fan did not mind learning more life-saving techniques to deal with the possible dangers.
The [Ten Lions Ten Elephants Pill] was the semi-finished product of the Ten Transformations Ancestral Pill that Ning Fan obtained from the Glacial Immortal Cave. Using his innate ability that allowed him to communicate with all living things, Ning Fan directly talked to the pill and asked for its name. Unfortunately, the spiritual intelligence of the pill was too low. Ning Fan was unable to ask about its specific medicinal effects. He could only roughly guess that it was a type of pill that could strengthen one's physical body.
Strengthening the physical body?
Ning Fan shook his head. His physical body was already extremely strong. Because the foundation of his physical body was too high, even if he consumed this pill, the effects would not be too obvious.
After all, this was just a semi-finished pill. If it was the real Ten Transformations Ancestral Pill, Ning Fan might have a higher expectation.
At this moment, what he was looking forward to more was the mysterious rusty iron box.
It was an iron box that emitted the Qi of a Water Realm Master. Ning Fan had no idea what was inside the iron box.
He was very curious about what exactly was sealed inside the iron box. Why was it able to emit the Qi of the Water Immortal Realm? Besides, the iron box was extremely sturdy. Even ordinary Innate Magical Treasures could not break it. This made Ning Fan even more certain that this iron box was extraordinary.
Just what kind of characters were the eight children of the Water Sect? They were unrivalled elites who had once worked together to defeat the East Sky Ancestor Emperor! Since the Eastern Sky Ancestor Emperor was able to unify the Eastern Sky in that ancient era, he had to be a great cultivator from ancient times. Since the Water Sect's eight disciples were able to defeat such an existence, they naturally couldn't be ordinary people.
The Immortal Realm Master … It was not impossible for outstanding individuals like the eight disciples of the Water Sect to cultivate the Water Immortal Realm. Otherwise, how could they defeat the Eastern Sky Ancestor Emperor?!
"Perhaps what is sealed inside this iron box is the inheritance of the Water Immortal Realm of the eight disciples of the Water Sect. What's more, there might be a Dao Fruit of the Water Immortal Realm directly sealed inside!"
When he thought of this possibility, Ning Fan could not help but feel a little excited even with his temperament.
He had already cultivated the Wood Immortal Realm and used it to cultivate the wood godhead. Then, he became the Father God of Wood.
If there was really a Dao Fruit of the Water Immortal Realm in this iron box, he had great confidence that he could cultivate another Water Immortal Realm and the Water Immortal Realm. If he was lucky, he could even become the Father God of Water in this era that was lacking in divine beings and rule over all water cultivators!
Becoming the Father God of Wood brought Ning Fan a lot of benefits. Not to mention the super strong recovery effect, the fact that it could increase the power of his wood element magic treasures by a level out of thin air already made Ning Fan very excited.
If he could become the Father God of Water, putting everything else aside, just the power of the Bottle of Water Drowning the World in the future would no longer be at the Mid Grade Innate Realm. It would probably rise to the next level and reach the High Grade Innate Realm …
That level of power could probably even drown a Quasi-Saint Realm expert!
"Will there be a Dao Fruit of the Water Immortal Realm in this iron box?!"
Ning Fan activated the Seven Treasures Wondrous Tree with anticipation and carefully broke the seal on the iron box.
With a cracking sound, the iron box was opened. What entered Ning Fan's eyes was not a Dao Fruit of the Water Immortal Realm but a fingernail-sized pebble.
Isn't it a Dao Fruit of the Water Immortal Realm? Sure enough, a Dao Fruit of the Water Immortal Realm can only be found by luck. How could it be so easy to pick it up …
The higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment. Ning Fan shook his head. With the firmness of his Dao Heart, he instantly suppressed his disappointment. With a calm expression, he carefully examined the inconspicuous pebble in the iron box.
Even if it was not a Dao Fruit of the Water Immortal Realm, it was probably not an ordinary pebble since the eight disciples of the Water Sect kept it so carefully.
It was a black and grey pebble. It was a stone that Ning Fan had never seen before in the Age of Dharma Decay. When he touched it, he could feel a massive amount of water elemental power from the pebble. This pebble naturally contained a trace of Dao Fruit of the Water Immortal Realm. It was indeed extraordinary. If it is added into a Dao Tool magic treasure, it would probably greatly increase the water elemental attack power of the magic treasure.
"What kind of pebble are you?" Ning Fan asked the pebble.
[Buzhou Mountain Ridge, Buzhou Mountain Ridge, Buzhou Mountain Ridge …] The pebble tossed and turned but could only answer with this sentence.
Buzhou Mountain Ridge?
I feel like I've heard this name somewhere before …
Ning Fan frowned and tried his best to recall the origin of this name. Even though cultivators had a photographic memory, it was also because of this that the amount of information stored in their minds was too large. Even though they could remember some unintentional information, it would take them a lot of effort to recall it.
Not long after that, Ning Fan recalled where he had heard this name before.
In the past, in order to forge the Ocean Defying Sword, Old Wu had given Ning Fan a yellowed ancient book which recorded the blueprints of many Dao Tools with ancient diagrams.
[Barbarian Weapon Mountain Sea Axe. This axe can be ranked as one of the sixty-sixth grade weapons of the Holy Sect. However, it lacks the Ancient Country Wind Crystal, the Earth Material, the Buzhou Mountain Ridge and the Earth Giant's Tooth … I've spent my entire life trying to forge it. It's a pity.]
Yes! Yes! The Buzhou Mountain Ridge is a supreme immortal material that can be used to forge a sixty-sixth grade Dao Tool with ancient diagrams!
One should know that the original grade of the Ocean Defying Sword was just a ninety-eighth grade Dao Tool with ancient diagrams. Even though Ning Fan had used a lot of the Eternal Everlasting Rain to forge the Ocean Defying Sword, the Ocean Defying Sword he forged was only equivalent to an eighty-ninth grade Dao Tool with ancient diagrams …
Wouldn't an immortal material that can be used to forge a sixty-sixth grade Dao Tool with ancient diagrams be even more precious than the Eternal Everlasting Rain?!
Currently, Ning Fan only needed a small piece of the Buzhou Mountain Ridge. He did not have enough materials. Of course, he would not forge some Mountain Sea Axe that was a sixty-sixth grade barbarian weapon.
What he wanted to do was to forge this precious Buzhou Mountain Ridge into the Ocean Defying Sword!
The current Ocean Defying Sword was already extremely powerful after being embedded with the Heaven Goujade. If he fuses a piece of the Buzhou Mountain Ridge into it, its power would certainly be even more terrifying.
The only problem was that fusing the Buzhou Mountain Ridge into the Ocean Defying Sword had completely deviated from the blueprints of the sword. Without the guidance of the blueprints, it was not an easy task for Ning Fan to perfectly forge the Buzhou Mountain Ridge into the Ocean Defying Sword with his own forging techniques.
However, speaking of which, the blueprints of Dao Tools with ancient diagrams were all created by the predecessors. Since the predecessors could create Dao Tools with ancient diagrams without relying on blueprints, why couldn't Ning Fan use his own talents to find a way to add other immortal materials into the Ocean Defying Sword?
He immediately got to work.
In the next few months, Ning Fan spent all his time studying this matter.
In the beginning, the process of adding the Buzhou Mountain Ridge into the Ocean Defying Sword did not go smoothly. This was because even though the Buzhou Mountain Ridge possessed the power of the Water Sovereign, it was still a mountain after all. As for the main material of the Ocean Defying Sword, the Eternal Inextinguishable Rain, it was the sea.
How could it be so easy to merge a mountain and a sea into one?
Later on, however, Ning Fan suddenly recalled the scenes when he became the Barbarian God. He recalled the mountains and seas in the eyes of the barbarians …
As for the barbarians, they cultivated by imitating the ancient divine beings.
Hence, when Ning Fan creatively fused a trace of divine power into the Ocean Defying Sword, the power of the mountains and seas between the Eternal Inextinguishable Rain and the Buzhou Mountain Ridge achieved a balance.
A brand new Ocean Defying Sword was forged by Ning Fan!
It was still a beautiful sword with a dark blue body that flowed like water. However, what was different was that there were some Mountain and Sea Lines on the surface of the sword that was like waves.
The Ocean Defying Sword was originally an incomparably beautiful sword. Now that it was embedded with more than one thousand pieces of Heaven Goujade and the Mountain and Sea Lines, it became even more beautiful.
Ning Fan was not a fan of appearances. It was not important whether the Ocean Defying Sword was beautiful or not. He was more concerned about the power of this sword.
After fusing with the Buzhou Mountain Ridge, the power of this sword was already equivalent to an ancient map Dao Weapon of the Eightieth Grade. When its power skyrocketed, it was not any weaker than a real Mid Grade Innate Magic Treasure. Moreover, its power could be considered as above average among Mid Grade Innate Magic Treasures!
One had to know that Dao Weapons could grow together with their masters!
Currently, Ning Fan was only at the Immortal King Realm but he could already make this sword display the power of a Mid Grade Innate Magic Treasure. In the future, when Ning Fan's cultivation base becomes higher, it would not be impossible for this sword to reach the High Grade Innate Magic Treasure!
Unknowingly, the Ocean Defying Sword had already become Ning Fan's most important attack method.
However, there was also a problem.
That was … after fusing with the Buzhou Mountain Ridge, the Ocean Defying Sword somehow became heavier …
This greatly exceeded Ning Fan's expectation because the Buzhou Mountain Ridge that was fused with the Ocean Defying Sword was not a heavy material. According to the thinking of mortals, the mass of a material should be conserved. After fusing with the Buzhou Mountain Ridge, the Ocean Defying Sword should still be seven stars in weight.
However, the reality was that … the weight of the Ocean Defying Sword had more than doubled, reaching the terrifying weight of eighteen stars!
This did not conform to common sense at all. However, cultivation itself was something that went against common sense. The theories of mortals were not applicable.
The weight of eighteen cultivation planets … With such a heavy flying sword, it would be even more difficult to control it with spirit sense. Wielding the sword and slashing it would also consume a lot of strength.
If Ning Fan could swing the Ocean Defying Sword that was seven stars in weight for more than a thousand times with his own strength, he could only swing the eighteen stars sword fifty to sixty times before his strength would be exhausted …
This gave Ning Fan a headache. The Sea Calming Divine Needle was so heavy that it was hard to use it while the Ocean Defying Sword had increased in weight, increasing the difficulty of using it. Improving the strength of his physical body was an urgent matter now.
Unfortunately, how could it be that easy to improve the strength of one's physical body?
Ning Fan shook his head. It was a good thing that the Ocean Defying Sword's power and weight had increased tremendously. He should not be dissatisfied with it.
As such, after Ning Fan finished forging the Ocean Defying Sword, he began to refine Innate Magic Treasures and cultivate the Ten Billion Rain Spirit Clone … As for the Ten Lions and Ten Elephants Pill, Ning Fan threw it to a corner and did not pay much attention to it.
After a few more months, Ning Fan successfully cultivated the Ten Billion Rain Spirit Clone. Only then did he consume the Ten Lions and Ten Elephants Pill with the thought that it was better than nothing.
He really did not have high expectations for this pill.
However, reality played a joke on him!
The Dao Fruit of the Water Sovereign Realm that he was looking forward to did not appear.
The Ten Lions and Ten Elephants Pill that he neglected gave him an unexpected surprise!
After consuming this pill, Ning Fan's physical defense did not improve but his strength skyrocketed, more than doubling!
This greatly surprised Ning Fan. One should know that his current physical body was already stronger than most of the immortal emperors. With such a strong foundation, it could actually double his strength. This Ten Lions and Ten Elephants Pill was a little incredible!
It was clearly just a half-completed pill. How could it be so heaven-defying?
If it was so heaven-defying, why didn't the eight disciples of the Water Sect eat it in the past? Instead, they sealed it and kept it?
Ning Fan could not figure it out.
Of course, he did not know that this Ten Lions and Ten Elephants Pill was not something that belonged to the Illusory World. Instead, it was a pill that had drifted to the Illusory World from the True World.
Even though it was just a half-completed pill, that pill refinement master had used the lives of ten half-Sage Saint realm lion demons and ten half-Sage Saint realm elephant demons to concoct this pill.
The reason why it was only a half-completed pill was not because that pill refinement master was not capable enough. Instead, it was because the true Ten Lions and Ten Elephants Pill could not be concocted using Half-Saint realm materials. Instead, it needed Half-Saint realm materials!
Even though that pill refinement master had superb pill concoction techniques, he was just a First Level Half-Saint. Naturally, he did not have the ability to hunt twenty Half-Saints to concoct the pill.
Thus, this pill could only be a half-completed pill.
However, it still had an extremely heaven-defying medicinal effect!
The eight disciples of the Water Sect obtained this pill by chance and were shocked by it. It was not that they did not want to eat it but they did not dare to.
This pill could greatly increase the strength of a cultivator's physical body. However, the process of increasing one's strength was extremely dangerous. If one's physical body was not strong enough, not only would they not be able to obtain any benefits from the pill, but their bodies would also directly explode due to the medicinal effect. It was extremely dangerous.
Even though the eight disciples of the Water Sect possessed great abilities, they were not experts in body refinement. Their physical bodies were not as strong as Ning Fan's. Thus, they naturally did not dare to consume this pill.
Ning Fan, on the other hand, was different. Not only did he have a strong physical body, but his recovery rate was also very high. Thus, he did not feel much danger when he consumed this pill … However, he could not understand why the eight disciples of the Water Sect did not consume this pill.
In short, this pill allowed Ning Fan's strength to skyrocket. It was a good thing. After his strength had doubled, Ning Fan was pleased to find that he could use the Sea Calming Divine Needle with ease. Besides, it was no longer difficult to wield the Ocean Defying Sword that had increased in weight to eighteen stars …
Everything was developing in a good direction.
In his spare time, Ning Fan wanted to continue cultivating the Lang Ya Heavenly Hook Jade. Unfortunately, without Aphrodite's tears, his cultivation progress was extremely slow. He could not help but miss the days when Aphrodite was by his side.
Of course, this kind of nostalgia had nothing to do with love. What Ning Fan missed was the large amount of tears of the mermaid …
"Unfortunately, this lady has given me some guidance. Even if she is still here, I can't go against my principles to bully her and seize the tears of the mermaid."
"Speaking of which, what exactly is the mysterious seed that was nurtured in my primordial spirit that day … With this seed in my body, the samsara power in my body is increasing day by day. It has actually reached the point where I can condense a ring …"
Ning Fan activated the samsara power in his body and a purplish-golden ring appeared on his fingertip.
The Sun of Samsara in his body would slowly grow along with his daily cultivation.
Currently, the amount of samsara power he had was only the size of a ring.
According to Ning Fan's estimation, if he cultivates for another few thousand years, his samsara power would probably be enough to condense a halo the size of a bracelet.
If he cultivates for a few hundred thousand years, he would probably be able to condense a halo the size of a headband.
According to the current growth rate, he might even be able to condense a gigantic halo the size of the Sacred Beginning Halo after cultivating for a few hundred million years.
Of course, he was too lazy to wait for a few hundred million years to cultivate a mere Sacred Beginning Halo. Too many things could be done in a few hundred million years. Even though the mysterious seed could increase his samsara power, the speed of its growth was really too slow for Ning Fan.
This was really better than nothing …
* Ding ding ding *
Before Ning Fan entered the Profound Yin World for his seclusion, the Sound Transmitting Jade Talisman given to him by Divine Space Emperor and the others suddenly emitted a faint sound.
Ning Fan frowned slightly. He knew that it was Divine Space Emperor and the others who were outside contacting him. Before he went into seclusion, he had told the others not to disturb him. Since the other party took the initiative to contact him, something must have happened in the Myriad Saints Pass.
"It seems like there's some important military news …"
Ning Fan stopped his seclusion and sent out a series of hand seals towards the Sound Transmitting Jade Talisman. Divine Space Emperor's anxious voice immediately came from the jade talisman, confirming Ning Fan's guess.
"This is bad! This is bad! Brother Ning, don't go into seclusion anymore. A great disaster is upon you! The foreign races have actually sent two Half-Step Saints to attack my Myriad Saints Pass! One of them is the famous Myriad Saint Dragon King of the ninth path while the other one … is a real ancient devil! "
