The Quasi-Saints of the foreign races returned to the ruins of the Heavenly Shadow Clan. After inspecting the Sealed Tower, they came to a conclusion. The Immortal Sovereign Seal that was 99% intact was no longer possible to be destroyed. In this way, the second invasion plan that the foreign races had prepared for tens of millions of years after invading the Eastern Heaven previously had finally become a piece of paper.
The seal had been repaired and it was stronger than any time in the past hundreds of millions of years! For a long time to come, not only would the Celestial Emperor Stage beings be unable to come out of the water to wreak havoc, but even the low-grade beings would find it extremely difficult to come out of the water!
The chaos of the foreign races in the Eastern Boundary River was finally settled!
In this war that had lasted for tens of years, Ning Fan's contribution was undoubtedly the greatest! Slaughtering an Immortal Emperor Realm expert, killing a Half-Step Saint Realm expert, subduing a lightning infant, repairing the seal, destroying the Blood God and making it even darker … News of Ning Fan's latest achievements spread to the Eastern Heaven like snowflakes. Countless people were shocked by Ning Fan's latest achievements.
Ning Fan was actually so powerful that he could even destroy an ancient great cultivator?!
Many people began to discuss this in private. More of them began to frantically inquire about the details of this war. Ning Fan was not aware of all these. Even if he knew, he would not care.
Once again, he returned to the surface of the sixth stream of water. He stepped on the water and bathed in the sunset scenery of the Boundary River. Looking at the Immortal Sovereign Seal that was almost undamaged, he let out a long sigh of relief.
"The chaos of the foreign races in the Eastern Boundary River has finally come to an end. I wonder if the chaos in the other three great Heavenly Worlds has also been settled … "Ning Fan looked at the direction of the Northern Heaven along the sixth stream of water and pondered.
* Crack *
Suddenly, Ning Fan felt a tearing pain in his Sea of Consciousness. It was Niu Manshan's true spirit that was separating from his body bit by bit.
Under the intense pain, Ning Fan could barely stand still and directly fell to the surface of the water. He endured the pain and slowly separated from Niu Manshan's true spirit.
Due to his weakness, Niu Manshan was lucky enough to fall into a deep sleep, avoiding having to share half of the pain with Ning Fan. In this way, Ning Fan almost had to bear all the pain of his true spirit being separated.
The entire process of the True Spirit separation lasted for a full eight hours.
The sun set below the surface of the river and the dusk turned into night.
After a long time, Ning Fan finally exhaled a mouthful of turbid qi and forced out a true spirit that was countless times smaller from his Sea of Consciousness.
Niu Manshan's True Spirit.
The size of Niu Manshan's true spirit was different from the size it had when it launched a sneak attack on Ning Fan. Currently, Niu Manshan's true spirit could no longer maintain the size of a human due to the exhaustion of its power. Just like the true spirit of Geng Wu which fled in a sorry state, both of them had shrunk to the size of an ant.
Niu Manshan, who was as small as an ant, was sleeping soundly in Ning Fans palm. His breathing was weak, but his snores were very loud and full of energy.
Did Niu Manshan really run out of energy? He's actually so full of energy …
However, he did not intend to wake Niu Manshan up. Instead, he took out a few Ninth Revolution Emperor Grade healing pills, extracted their medicinal power and injected them into Niu Manshan's true spirit body.
These Nine Revolutions Emperor Pills were the treasures in Geng Wu's body. They were seized by Ning Fan after the battle. Now, they were the most suitable to be used to treat Niu Manshan.
If it weren't for these pills, Niu Manshan would have to sleep for at least several hundred years before he could wake up. However, after using pills, Niu Manshan's Ant True Spirit grew bigger and bigger. In just the time it took for an incense stick to burn, it had grown to the size of a fist.
After another incense stick's time, the True Spirit had returned to the size of an adult and had finally awakened.
"At least you still have a conscience. You know how to help me recover my strength. You're really worth teaching!"
Niu Manshan stretched his body comfortably. Then, he took a deep breath of the fresh air on the surface of the Boundary River.
It's so refreshing and nostalgic. This is the taste of freedom! How many years has it been since I last breathed the air on the surface of the water?! It's almost a billion years! I've finally left the damned bottom of the Boundary River!
"According to our agreement, I've already brought Senior out of the Sealed Tower. I hope that Senior can also keep your promise and won't hurt any Purple Dipper Immortal Realm cultivators recklessly in this life." Ning Fan looked at Niu Manshan who was filled with happiness and sighed deeply. Air was something that those who had it would not cherish. Sure enough, some things had to be lost before one could understand how precious they were.
"Don't worry. I've already sworn the Great Karma Oath. How can I possibly go back on my word? Alright, alright. Our deal is done. Quickly give me your broken sword. I'm going to depart for the Western Heaven now. "
"Depart for the Western Heaven now? Why are you in such a hurry?" Ning Fan was surprised. However, he still kept his promise and passed the Fate Severing broken sword which contained the lotus sword intent to Niu Manshan.
"Hehe. Aren't I in a hurry to go to the Western Heaven to see my old lover … * Cough * I mean, to go to the Western Heaven and challenge all the major Buddhist sects? I've been guarding the Sealed Tower for nearly a billion years. During this long period of time, I couldn't even find a single opponent. Sigh … The Western Heaven is still better. Each of those Buddhist sects is unfathomable. I'm sure I'll be able to find quite a number of opponents who are on par with me in the Western Heaven. "Niu Manshan pretended to be serious and said.
The corner of his mouth twitched. Inwardly, he complained: Old Uncle Niu, you've already spilled the beans, alright? Stop hiding it. The truth is that you're in a hurry to go to the Western Heaven to see your old lover!
"I wonder if she's still in this world … After all, a billion years have passed. Since ancient times, how many cultivators could live for more than a billion years … It's difficult. It's just too difficult." Niu Manshan suddenly thought of something and began to sigh.
Ning Fan did not know who the old lover that Niu Manshan was talking about was. Naturally, he would not say anything to comfort him. He just looked at Niu Manshan with a poker face and let him sigh for a long time. In the end, Niu Manshan glared at Ning Fan. "Old Senior is sighing here. Don't you know how to comfort him? Boring. Really boring. Alright, alright. Let's part ways here. You can go and find your companions in the Eastern Heaven. I'm going to the Western Heaven. The waterway that leads to the Western Heaven should be the third waterway … "
* Chi *
Before Niu Manshan could finish his words, his entire being had already shrunk into a ray of light between heaven and earth and disappeared without a trace.
"Senior, wait a moment. Don't you want the cuttlefish dumpling and your adopted son …" Niu Manshan acted in a hurry. He left too quickly! Before Ning Fan could even open his mouth, he swallowed his words helplessly.
Niu Manshan had clearly asked him to help him find his adopted son. He even wanted to use more cuttlefish meat to make cuttlefish dumpling. However, he actually left just like that before he could do all these things …
Sure enough, compared to old lovers, adopted son and cuttlefish dumpling, none of them are important, right?!
Ning Fan waved his hand helplessly and rested for a while. Then, he stood up from the water surface and planned to leave.
Unfortunately, before he could leave, there was another ray of light flashing towards him from afar. Who else could it be other than Niu Manshan who had returned using the same route he came from?
Niu Manshan returned to Ning Fan's front with an ashen face. He was extremely unhappy, as if he had encountered something bad.
"Senior, why did you come back? Aren't you in a hurry to go to the Western Heaven? "Ning Fan was surprised and asked.
"I can't go anymore! The world passage to the Western Heaven has actually been sealed by another Immortal Sovereign! "Niu Manshan said in a displeased tone.
"The seal of another Immortal Sovereign? What do you mean?! "Ning Fan's expression darkened.
"Humph! You'll understand after you see it with your own eyes! Quickly help me think if there's any way to open the world passage! "
* Chi *
Niu Manshan waved his hand. A ray of light swept over and carried Ning Fan away from his original spot.
It was the unique escaping technique of the Heavenly Bull Clan. Its speed was unimaginably fast. With Ning Fan's maximum speed, he would need at least one to two days to fly from the Sixth Water Path to the Third Water Path. However, Niu Manshan only needed a few hundred breaths to fly from the Sixth Water Path to the Third Water Path.
The speed of an ancient great cultivator had actually reached such a level!
Ning Fan was certain that his speed was definitely comparable to some weaker Quasi-Saints. However, compared to Niu Manshan, his speed was simply insignificant.
Sure enough, there was still a huge gap between him and a true expert of the Second Step. In front of an ancient great cultivator, his insignificant speed might not even be enough to escape with his life …
Niu Manshan brought Ning Fan to the White Tiger Pass of the Third Water Path. This was the last pass of the Third Water Path. If they go further, it would be the long World Passage that leads to the Western Heaven.
Ning Fan did not even participate in the operation to recover the White Tiger Pass. Naturally, he did not go to the [West Heaven Realm Passage] which was further behind the White Tiger Pass.
If Niu Manshan did not bring Ning Fan all the way to the end of the West Heaven Realm Passage, Ning Fan would not even know that the entrance of the West Heaven Realm Passage had already been sealed by a massive sealing power!
In between the water and the sky, there was a sealing power that emitted a desolate and decaying qi. It had sealed the entrance of the West Heaven Realm Passage. Even with Niu Manshan's strength, he actually could not break the seal and go to the Western Heaven.
Ning Fan's eyes were covered with green light. The more he looked at the desolate seal, the more shocked he became.
This is not an ordinary seal!
This is an Immortal Sovereign Realm seal! It was created by another Fourth Step Immortal Sovereign other than Immortal Sovereign Zi Dou!
"Which Immortal Sovereign sealed the West Heaven Realm Passage?!" Ning Fan sucked in a breath of cold air.
He did not expect that when he used Immortal Sovereign Zi Dou's seal to deal with the foreign races in the World River, someone also secretly set up another Immortal Sovereign's seal and sealed the West Heaven Realm Passage …
"This is the seal of the Primordial Ancient Immortal Sovereign. However, it was not done by the Immortal Sovereign himself. Not even a Fourth Step Immortal Sovereign has the ability to interfere with the Illusory Dream World that Immortal Sovereign Zi Dou set up. I'm afraid that someone in the Illusory Dream World obtained the seal bestowed by the Primordial Ancient Immortal Sovereign through some unknown channel and used its power to seal the West Heaven Realm Passage. "Niu Manshan said.
"Primordial Ancient Immortal Sovereign …" It was not Ning Fan's first time hearing the name of this Immortal Sovereign. He frowned deeply.
He really wanted to know why the seal of the Primordial Ancient Immortal Sovereign would appear here and seal the West Heaven Realm Passage.
What he was sure of was that the Dark Race and the Devil Conferral Summit were definitely behind the chaos in the World River. Could it be that the cultivators of the Primordial Ancient Immortal Domain were also behind this?
"Little Friend, you're quite capable. Do you have any way to destroy this seal?!" It was Niu Manshan's first time addressing Ning Fan in such a polite manner. His purpose was actually to meet his old lover …
"Senior, you must be joking. The seal of the Primordial Ancient Immortal Sovereign in this place is fully intact. How could I possibly have the ability to destroy it?" Ning Fan smiled bitterly.
Ninety-nine percent of the Purple Dipper Seal could already seal more than ten Quasi-Saints of the foreign races to death in the East World River. A fully intact seal of the Primordial Ancient Immortal Sovereign was definitely not something Ning Fan could destroy.
"You have the eyesight of a cultivator at the Second Level of the Heaven Being Realm. You can't even see the weakness of this seal?" Niu Manshan asked in surprise.
Ning Fan was not too surprised that Niu Manshan could see through his Second Level of the Heaven Being Realm. He shook his head and said. "The seal of this place has no weakness. If we want to destroy it, we can only wait for the seal's power to be depleted to a certain extent over a long period of time … "
Not good!
Ning Fan suddenly thought of something. His face darkened and he said to Niu Manshan. "Let's not talk about the seal of the West Heaven Realm Passage for now. Senior, please bring me to the Sixth Path to find out what's going on! The Sixth Path connects to the Northern Heaven. I wonder if there's also such an ancient seal on the North Heaven Realm Passage … "
Niu Manshan nodded his head and activated his ability. In just a few hundred breaths' time, he brought Ning Fan back to the Sixth Path and went straight to the entrance of the North Heaven Realm Passage at the end of the Sixth Path.
As Ning Fan had expected, the entrance of the North Heaven Realm Passage was indeed sealed by the ancient seal. Moreover, the power of the seal here was actually a few times stronger than the one at the entrance of the West Heaven Realm Passage!
"Let's go to the Ninth Path!" Ning Fan said again.
Niu Manshan followed Ning Fan's instructions and brought him to the entrance of the South Heaven Realm Passage.
This place was also sealed by the ancient seal. The power of the seal was not as strong as the entrance of the North Heaven Realm Passage. It was only comparable to the entrance of the West Heaven Realm. Even so, it was enough to prevent ancient great cultivators from passing through.
"This is troublesome …" Ning Fan's face darkened. After a long while, he let out a long sigh.
There were people whom Ning Fan cared about in the East Heaven. Likewise, there were also people in the North Heaven. According to rumors, the chaos in the North Heaven was the most serious among the four heavens. Ning Fan was very worried about the safety of Bei Xiaoman and the other women …
Settling the chaos in the Eastern Heaven Realm was supposed to be a joyous event. Ning Fan planned to go to the North Heaven as soon as possible after settling the chaos in the Eastern Heaven.
Initially, he thought that as long as he wiped out the foreign races in the Eastern Heaven Realm, he would be able to clear the path to the North Heaven. However, he did not expect that the mastermind who controlled the chaos in the Eastern Heaven Realm this time had actually set up a second layer of protection at the entrances of the World Passages of the various Heaven Realms – the seal of the Ancient Immortal Sovereign.
In this way, even if the cultivators of the West, South and East Heavens could calm the chaos in their own realms, they would not be able to pass through the seal and support the other Heaven Realms …
The Four Heavens were completely cut off!
The Purple Dipper Seal separated the foreign races from the cultivators of the Four Heavens while the Ancient Immortal Seal also separated the Four Heavens …
I saw the future. A terrifying future … The Four Heavens will be isolated. There will be a great war in the North Heaven … After that, the Spirit King will die. He will die in the hands of the Western Demon Ancestor … Ling Er who was eaten by the Spirit King will also die.
Everything was going exactly as Nalan Zi's prophecy! Isolated! Isolated! The word 'isolated' was not referring to the obstruction of the foreign races. Instead, it was referring to the Ancient Immortal Seal that separated the Four Heavens!
"Ahhhh! Who was the one who placed such a hateful seal at the entrance of the World Road?! How am I going to head to the Western Heaven now?! Abbess, it's not that I don't want to look for you. It's just that the Immortal Sovereign's seal is too powerful. "Niu Manshan let out a long sigh.
Ning Fan's expression, on the other hand, was filled with uncertainty. No one knew what he was thinking.
The seal of the Immortal Sovereign of the Ancient Immortal Sovereign was not something that a mere Immortal King like him could break.
However, he must go to the Northern Heaven! The appearance of the Ancient Immortal Seal further highlighted the abnormality of the chaos in the Four Heavens' World River. The water behind the scenes was too deep! As the center of the chaos, how dangerous would the Northern Heaven be?!
"So, I have to find another way …" Ning Fan thought to himself.
Ning Fan could only think of one method that could allow him to travel freely in the Four Heavens while ignoring the Ancient Immortal Seal.
The Ancient Immortal Devil Cavity!
The Ancient Immortal Seal could give ancient great cultivators like Niu Manshan a headache. However, in the past, Daoist Xuanwei who was at the Half-Saint Realm could withstand the Ancient Immortal Seal and directly open the Devil Cavity to fly from the Northern Heaven to the Eastern Heaven …
If Ning Fan could cultivate the Ancient Devil Cavity, it would certainly not be difficult for him to go to the Northern Heaven. Even if it was just the half-baked Ancient Devil Cavity of Daoist Xuanwei, it would be enough for him.
Unfortunately, he did not have the half-baked Devil Cavity cultivation method in his hands. All he had was the authentic cultivation method that was unimaginably harsh …
How troublesome!
"Fine, fine, fine. I won't go to the Western Heaven for the time being! I don't believe that the person behind the scenes will still seal the passage of the world forever after the chaos in the Four Heavens ends. Once they achieve their goal, they will definitely open the passage. I will just wait for the time being! "Niu Manshan said helplessly.
Niu Manshan could wait but Ning Fan could not!
However, Ning Fan did not say anything about this matter. His expression was filled with worries, which made Niu Manshan criticize him in his heart.
"Hey, little brat! It's me who can't see Little Mistress, alright? It's me who should be crying, alright? Why are you acting like me? You look like you have just eaten shit and your parents have just died? It's not like you can't see Little Mistress! Could it be that you can empathize with my pain? "Niu Manshan was touched and patted Ning Fan's shoulder.
The corner of Ning Fan's mouth twitched. He swatted away Niu Manshan's dirty hand and ignored him. Nonsense. It would be strange if he paid attention to Niu Manshan who doesn't know how to chat.
"Oh, that's right. I seem to have asked you to help me find a foster son …" You finally remembered about your son?
"Oh, there's also the cuttlefish dumpling. After we return, I will make you a delicious meal of Fusang Immortal Country …"
Unfortunately, Ning Fan who was currently filled with worries did not want to reply to Niu Manshan's words.
"I will stay in the Eastern Heaven for the time being. Come, come, let me live in your body again …"
"No!" Ning Fan finally opened his mouth and rejected Niu Manshan's suggestion.
What a joke! His divine physical body had so many secrets. Previously, he allowed Niu Manshan to possess his body because he wanted to bring him out of the Sealed Tower without anyone knowing. There was no need for that now. Why should he let Niu Manshan live in his body?
What if he spied on his divine secret?
What if he spied on his intimate relationship with his wives?
"Humph! What a petty man! If you don't want to live in my body, so be it. Do you think I really like living in your body?! You have an aura similar to Wu Xiaoyu. Aren't you just trying to conceal your bloodline of the Tai Cang Tribulation Spirit?! "Niu Manshan said self-righteously.
Ning Fan raised his eyebrows and thought to himself that Niu Manshan's eyesight was really sharp. He had already deliberately concealed his identity but Niu Manshan was still able to see through his identity.
Unfortunately, Niu Manshan did not seem to be able to see through his identity as an ancient divine being. After all, ancient divine beings were things from the previous Cultivation Era. It was not strange that Niu Manshan did not know about them.
That was also the reason why Ning Fan could not let Niu Manshan continue living in his body. Otherwise, even if Niu Manshan did not know about the ancient divine beings, he would be able to see through some problems sooner or later …
Ancient divine beings were the biggest taboo in the world. Compared to this, the exposure of his identity as the Tai Cang Tribulation Spirit was not important at all.
"Don't worry! I can see that you are not of the same race as the members of the Jie Clan in the Mortal World. Jie Clan's bloodline is just a subsidiary of many bloodlines. Considering that you are the successor of Ancient Chaos, it is not strange at all for you to have four types of bloodlines. Ancient God, Ancient Demon, Ancient Devil and Jie Clan's bloodline. You are even stronger than your master by cultivating four types of bloodlines at the same time. No wonder you possess the terrifying magic power of thirteen thousand and five hundred Tribulation Tribulations Realm even though you have just reached the Immortal King Realm. If your cultivation base in all four types of bloodlines reaches the level of ancient great cultivators, who in the Dharma Ending Era would be your match? I'm afraid you would even be able to kill Saints who are at a higher level than you … "Niu Manshan clicked his tongue and praised.
Then, he changed the topic. "However, isn't the purity of your magic power a little too low?"
"Purity of magic power?" It was Ning Fan's first time hearing about this concept.
"Hehe. One look and I can tell that you don't have the proper inheritance of an ancient clan. You don't even know this concept of cultivation. Why do you think cultivators in the Dharma Ending Era are weaker than ancient cultivators of the same level? The decline of the Dharma Ending Era divine abilities is one of the reasons. But the most important reason is that the purity of the magic power of cultivators in the Dharma Ending Era is far inferior to ancient cultivators. Your thirteen thousand and five hundred tribulation magic power is more than enough to scare cultivators in the Dharma Ending Era. It is also enough to fool half-baked ancient cultivators. However, if you face a true expert among the ancient cultivators, even if the quantity of their magic power is not as good as yours, they can still crush you with the advantage of the purity of their magic power … Sigh. You won't understand this no matter how much I explain it. Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go back quickly. I am hungry. "
So you want me to go back to eat squid balls?
However, a ray of light flashed between the sky and the water. The two of them immediately disappeared from where they stood. A few hundred breaths later, the two of them found the mountain pass where Zang Yue and the others were at – the sixth path, the Black Tortoise Mountain Pass.
Ning Fan's original intention was to let Niu Manshan show himself openly and introduce him to the cultivators of the Eastern Sky who had contributed the most in defeating Blood God Geng Wu.
However, Niu Manshan was unwilling to expose himself in front of others.
On this point, he had the same stubbornness as Aphrodite. He could promise not to kill Zi Dou's descendants recklessly, but he was unwilling to get along with them and meet them.
In the end, he still had a trace of resentment towards Immortal Sovereign Zi Dou …
"You can go in by yourself. Don't tell anyone about my existence. I can just stay outside the Black Tortoise Mountain Pass … "
Niu Manshan's figure became fainter and fainter. He hid his figure between the sky and the water, hiding in the boundless night. Before his figure disappeared, there was an indescribable loneliness and desolation.
If he was unwilling to do so, even the quasi-sage of the Eastern Sky would not know that he was here.
He could hide his body but he could not hide the loneliness in his heart.
The Heavenly Bull Clan had been annihilated. All the members of the clan had died for Zi Dou's Immortal Cultivation. Only him, the last member of the Heavenly Bull Clan, was left. He was living in the vast mortal world without any kin. How lonely was that?
Ning Fan let out a sigh. He could understand the emotions that Niu Manshan was carrying. However, he could not personally experience that kind of heaviness. If there was a day when he lost everything, he would also be alone and would also be at a loss towards the secular world. Perhaps, he would be like Niu Manshan and have such a lonely back view …
The people of the world only knew that each and every one of Zi Dou's Immortal Cultivation was incomparably heroic and heroic. Who could understand the bitterness and sacrifice behind it?
Just like the chaos in the Realm River this time. Even though the casualties of the Eastern Sky's cultivators were not as severe as expected because of Ning Fan's intervention, there were still a large number of cultivators who died in the battle …
When a human dies, it is like a lamp that goes out. The Samsara Wheel will be blown and reignited. When an immortal dies, it is like a thought that scatters, never to return in this life …
Ning Fan remained silent and activated the Fu Li Spirit Wheel in his palm. The number of heroic souls that he could absorb was just a small number after all. Most of them died outside of his ability …
"Daddy is back!" Suddenly, a joyful figure flew out from the Black Tortoise Mountain Pass and went into Ning Fan's arms.
Following that, one figure after another flew out from the boundless night sky with a look of concern on their faces.
Zang Yue, Little Demoness, Ouyang Nuan, Yao Qingyun …
Old Wu, Zhu Er, Heavenly Crow Dog, Earth Devil, Iron Crow …
Emperor Cang, Luo Hou, Lv Wen, Yun Lei …
"Haha! What did I say? Brother Ning will definitely be fine! "
"He's back! It's great that he's back! "
"Our great hero is back! Eh? Where's the promised beauty? Why didn't he bring her with him? Could it be that he's hiding a mistress in his house? "
"Let's start the banquet! Tonight is a joyous occasion. We won't go home until we're drunk! "
Great hero?
Ning Fan could not help but laugh. How did a devil lord like him suddenly become a hero …?
If he had a choice, he would rather be a villain, an ambitious and ruthless person or even a great villain. He was used to being feared by others. On the contrary, he was not used to being admired and respected by others …
Even if most of the admiration and respect came from the bottom of their hearts … he was still not used to it.
When he became the Divine Sovereign of the Rain World in the past, even though the cultivators of the Rain World obeyed his every order, they were only afraid of his strength.
Today, however, it was different. Very different.
He was no longer the young man who took revenge when he first entered the path of cultivation in the past.
He was becoming more and more like a purple dipper immortal cultivator …
"Senior Xiang said that the entire Eastern Sky will wear white clothes for three months after ten days for the cultivators who died in the battle in the Realm River. During this period, we are not allowed to drink alcohol for three months. However, Senior Xiang also said that tonight is not within the range of the ban. We should welcome the return of the heroes and hold a banquet for ten days! Senior Ning, please get drunk with me! "
"Senior Ning, please get drunk with me!"
More and more cultivators of the Eastern Sky began to shout loudly. Ning Fan could only smile bitterly and was dragged into the banquet in the Black Tortoise Mountain Pass by the crowd.
It's hard to refuse such great hospitality …
