Ning Fan had no idea how many people were eyeing him right now.
To be honest, he was not really interested in the so-called reward of the Heavenly Diagram. Did he lack cultivation methods and abilities? Did he lack magic treasures? Not really. One should know that he had yet to learn all the powerful abilities that he had obtained from the Heavenly Diagram. Moreover, he had a bunch of magic treasures that he could not use. He did lack some pills and Dao Fruits that could increase his cultivation base but it was not a must for him.
He did not value the reward of the Heavenly Diagram.
However, it was not a reason for others to snatch his things!
He was a disciple taught by the Old Devil Sect! As the sect master of the Black Devil Sect, he had always been the one who snatched other people's things. Since when did it become others' turn to snatch his things?!
Ning Fan's eyes flashed with cold light. He stared at the Sovereign Heavenly Diagram above the cloud valley, waiting for what would happen next.
The Sovereign Heavenly Diagram in the sky became brighter and brighter. The contents of the diagram became richer and richer. Other than the Immortal Rain Father, the Mountain and Rivers Pavilion began to appear.
When the light reached its peak, Ning Fan suddenly felt an endless suction force that sucked him into the Heavenly Diagram!
The strange thing was that the diagram only seemed to have an endless suction force on him. It did not affect outsiders like the sludge monster at all.
"Brother Hero!" The sludge monster panicked. She did not know much about the Sovereign Heavenly Diagram. How would she know what was going on? When she saw Ning Fan being sucked into the diagram, she thought that he was in danger.
She did not care about her own safety and flew towards the diagram, wanting to enter it to save Ning Fan. However, how could she enter the diagram? Instead, the diagram's vast immortal spirit qi shook her body, almost shattering her mud body. She spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell from the sky.
"Big Brother Hero, don't let anything happen to you … It's all my fault. If I didn't take a bath here, you wouldn't have accidentally drunk my bathwater and broken through to the Palm Realm." The Sludge Monster was in tears.
She did not understand what had happened!
She only knew that she was severely injured when she tried to approach the Sovereign Heavenly Diagram. As for Ning Fan, he was sucked into the diagram. If that was the case, wouldn't his injuries be even worse and he would be trapped in the diagram until his death?!
Obviously, she did not have the cultivation base to save Ning Fan. Judging from how easily she was injured by the diagram, even a great cultivator from the ancient times might not be able to do anything to it.
"Master! I have to look for Master. Master must have a way! "
The Sludge Monster didn't even bother to wipe the blood off his face. He hurriedly left the Cloud Valley to seek help from Omniscient Old Man.
At first, when Omniscient Old Man heard that Ning Fan was in trouble, his eyes were filled with madness. How could he still care about the pile of immortal materials?
However, after that, the sludge monster explained the reason why Ning Fan was sucked away by the Sovereign Heavenly Diagram. Hearing this, Omniscient Old Man's madness disappeared, and he calmed down. He then stared at the Sludge Monster speechlessly.
"Feng Zhe, oh Feng Zhe, I told you to read more books, but you didn't listen. Your Brother Hero is fine, he's doing great! If he was lucky, he could get three rewards for free. If he was unlucky, he would at most be robbed of some treasures, and his life would not be in any danger. Alright, this old man still has business to attend to. Don't disturb me before I'm done with this waste! Go down! "
"But Master …"
The Sludge Monster wanted to say something, but its face suddenly hurt.
It turned out that Omniscient Old Man had thrown a tattered ancient book at her face.
It was unknown how long this ancient book had existed. The book was stained with a lot of oil, vegetable juice and dried rice grains. It seemed like someone had used it to fill the dishes.
"Go! Read this book properly. After you finish reading it, you won't have to worry about that brat anymore! After you finish reading it, when that brat comes out from the Heavenly Diagram, teach him to read it too. I'm really impressed by rogue cultivators like you. You don't even know a fart, but you still dare to cultivate to the Sovereign Heavenly Diagram and pry into the origin of Dao … "
The Sludge Monster lowered its head and looked at the grease-stained book. She was in so much pain from being smashed!
Through the greasy stains, she barely recognized the name of the book and was shocked.
Dao Scripture!
No, no, no, it can't be. Isn't Dao Scripture a supreme treasure that only Fourth Step Immortal Emperors can master?! How could Master have a Dao Scripture?! How could he allow a little cultivator like her to read such a precious scripture?!
"Master, please don't joke. Dao Scripture is an item of the Fourth Step. Without the permission of the person who wrote it, no one can read it. The Dao recorded in it can't be cultivated by others. It belongs to the person who wrote it. I don't know who the person who wrote it is, and I haven't gotten his permission. Even if I open this book, I'm afraid I'll only see a blank page. It's no different from reading a Wordless Heavenly Scroll … "The Sludge Monster only felt that the Dao Scripture in her hand was heavy and extremely hot.
"Don't worry. This isn't the real Dao Scripture. It's a fake Dao Scripture. The person who wrote it isn't a Fourth Step Immortal Emperor. He's still one step away from breaking through. However, he's unwilling to take this step. Even if the Main Sect forces him to, he wouldn't do it. Even if his adopted son forces him to, he still wouldn't do it. So … this is actually a fake Dao Scripture. It's not as valuable as you think. It's also not a Wordless Heavenly Scroll … "Omniscient Old Man turned around. The Sludge Monster couldn't see his expression, but she could feel that his tone was sad and lonely.
"Fake Dao Scripture? What's that? I've never heard of such a thing. "The Sludge Monster was confused.
"…" Omniscient Old Man remained silent. He did not explain to the Sludge Monster what the Fake Dao Scripture was. Instead, he suddenly turned around with a blank expression.
"… Who am I … What's the Fake Dao Scripture …?"
"…" The Sludge Monster was speechless. She knew that her master's illness was acting up again. She wouldn't be able to get any more information from him.
She lowered her head and flipped through the Fake Dao Scripture. Sure enough, it wasn't a Wordless Heavenly Scroll. It wasn't a Dao Scripture that had reached the Fourth Step.
There were no records of any divine abilities or cultivation methods in this book. It only recorded some scattered insights and theories about Dao. In the past, the Sludge Monster would have a headache whenever she reads a book. Now that she was reading this book, she naturally found it boring.
Although it was boring, she still understood what Ning Fan was going through from the few words in the book.
"It turns out that the Sovereign Heavenly Scroll won't endanger Brother Ying's life. I'm relieved now …" The Sludge Monster heaved a sigh of relief and closed the Fake Dao Scripture. Then, she ran back to the Cloud Valley to wait for Ning Fan to come out of the scroll.
As expected, she was still not interested in reading the book. I think it's better to let Brother Ying read it …
A long time after the Sludge Monster left, Omniscient Old Man suddenly put down the immortal materials in his hands. He raised his head and glanced at the direction of the Cloud Valley.
Even though he said that he would not care about Ning Fan's heavenly scroll, deep down, he was still a little worried …
"There shouldn't be anyone who can snatch something from that brat. However, if there's a mishap … Humph! If anyone dares to do anything to my junior brother, I'll pay him back ten thousand times! I'll let him die ten thousand times! "
…
Inside the Sovereign Heavenly Scroll, there was a world that was formed by immortal qi. It was extremely lifelike.
When Ning Fan was sucked into the heavenly scroll, he did not panic at all. It was because the Lord Ant was explaining to him in real time in his Sea of Consciousness. Thus, he knew that there was not much danger in this matter.
The bestowal of the heavenly scroll was carried out inside the scroll. Unrelated people would not be able to enter it. Naturally, there was no way for them to interfere. Those who could come here to snatch Ning Fan's reward could only be those who were related to the Rain Immortal Master.
Inside the Heavenly Scroll World, there was a drizzle that never melted all year round. In the depths of the rain curtain, there was a towering statue of a giant immortal that had existed since ancient times.
The Rain Immortal Father!
That statue was not made of soil or metal. Instead, it was made of rainwater. The height of the statue was the same height as the height of the heavens and earth!
The statue was shaped like an old man who was sitting cross-legged in meditation with his eyes tightly shut. However, when Ning Fan was three thousand zhang * (3.33m per zhang) away from him, the statue suddenly let out a loud rumbling sound and opened its eyes. That pair of eyes were emotionless, devoid of spirit and intelligence.
It was a pair of empty eyes without any signs of life. Obviously, the owner of the statue, the first Rain Immortal Father, had already fallen long ago. Only the statue of the rain was still in this world.
"Divine Spirit … Moreover, it's Divine Father … But what is a Divine Spirit …?" The statue of the rain opened its mouth blankly, speaking in a language that even it did not understand.
It was not the real Rain Immortal Father. The real Rain Immortal Father had already died in the long river of time. It had seen through Ning Fan's identity as a divine spirit but it could not remember what this identity represented.
The Immortal Spirit Clan and the Divine Spirit Clan were like fire and water. If it knew that Ning Fan was the number one enemy of the Immortal Spirit Clan, it would certainly not give him a reward.
Fortunately, it did not know.
It was precisely because it did not know that the Sovereign Heavenly Map descended and it appeared in this place.
Even though it did not know, it still found Ning Fan to be an eyesore after all. It was almost instinctive.
At first, Ning Fan was worried that something unexpected would happen after his identity was seen through. However, when he saw that the statue of the rain did not show much hostility other than revealing his identity in the beginning, he felt relieved for the time being and decided to wait and see.
"So, should I just do nothing and wait for it to give me a reward?" Ning Fan asked the Ant Lord in his Sea of Consciousness.
"Mm. The treasures bestowed by the Sovereign Heavenly Map are divided into one hundred grades. The first grade is the highest grade and the hundred grades are the lowest. There are also hundreds of different containers such as boxes, vases, chests, urns, cauldrons, pots and jars which are used to store different treasures. Different containers can store different types of treasures. With your innate potential, you might be able to get something that is above the fiftieth grade. However, even if you get a treasure of that grade, don't be in a hurry to open it later … "The Ant Lord paused and gritted her teeth.
"Why?"
"Humph! Didn't you get a huge amount of merit points from me? You will be able to use it later … Damn it! If it wasn't because our minds are connected, why would I tell you how to use the merit points?! " The moment the Ant Lord mentioned the merit points, she became angry. If she knew that the merit points would eventually benefit Ning Fan, she wouldn't have been so frugal in the first place!
Just as Ning Fan was about to ask why the merit points were used, a sudden change occurred!
The statue of the rain statue suddenly chanted an ancient scripture. Then, its body shone brightly. After that, the rainwater in the world began to gather at Ning Fan's location rapidly, forming three huge water balls!
The three water balls spun in mid-air. As they spun, they condensed and eventually turned into different forms. At the same time, the rain statue disappeared!
"Take care …" Those were the last words the statue of the rain statue said before it disappeared. There seemed to be a hint of sarcasm in its words.
Ning Fan knitted his brows and looked at the three rewards. All three of them were marked with introductory words.
The first water ball became the Cursed Wooden Chest. The treasure grade was ninety-eight!
The second water ball became the Paper Bag that Fell into the Latrine Pit. The treasure grade was ninety-six!
The third water ball became the Paper Bag that Fell into the Latrine Pit. The treasure grade was ninety-six!
The wooden chest, the paper bag and the pot of urea were not the rewards. It was the things inside that were the rewards! However, the treasures' grades were so low. The things inside were obviously not good … No, even without looking at the grade of the treasures, Ning Fan knew that these rewards were not good!
Nonsense! A curse, a latrine pit and a pot of urea. Even an idiot would know that these rewards were trash!
"Hahahahaha …" The Ant Lord burst into laughter.
Why was he laughing?
Of course, it was to gloat!
The Ant Lord had lived for a long time. She had seen many people being rewarded by the Heavenly Map. However, no matter how low the rewards were, it would not be as low as Ning Fan's.
The rewards that Ning Fan received were definitely not normal! No, it was not appropriate to describe it as abnormal. How was this abnormal? It was obviously a joke!
How much did the rain statue left behind by the Immortal Rain Father hate Ning Fan for it to bestow such a lowly reward upon him?!
A cursed wooden chest?
One should know that in the rewards given by the Heavenly Map, the wooden chests were usually filled with various kinds of immortal materials. Could this chest contain materials that were used to forge cursed weapons? The kind that was used to forge demon blades and demon swords? The kind that would devour the host? Or the kind that would harm the host ten times for each slash? Hehe. This is really interesting!
A paper bag that fell into a latrine pit?
Just by listening to it, I can already imagine the scene! The blueprints inside the bag were probably already stained to the brim! I wonder if little ant Ning's hands would feel sticky when he takes out these blueprints! Speaking of which, what is this thing made from the blueprint? Could it be the blueprint of a gong tub? Hehe. I can't be sure. After all, I picked it up from a latrine pit!
The funniest thing was … there was actually a pot of urea!
Could it really be a pot of urea? Even if it contained the urea of a Fourth Step Immortal Sovereign, it was still not worth much! Speaking of which, what was the use of urea? Could it be that it could be drunk? Hehe. It seems like it could really be drunk! Isn't the Virgin Urea a great tonic?! If there really is a Fourth Step Virgin Urea in this world, it would probably be incomparably nourishing! Little ant Ning has made a profit. Little ant Ning has made a huge profit!
"I'm guessing that even though that rain statue doesn't remember what it means to be a deity, it still instinctively dislikes you. That's why it gave you such a reward. So it turns out that I'm not the only one who dislikes you? There are actually other like-minded people! "The Lord Ant said with a gloating tone.
"…"
"Don't be angry. If you get angry, my heart will ache." No. Actually, the angrier you are, the happier I am!
"… I'm not angry. Our minds are connected. I have already seen one of the uses of merit from your heart. Since that's the case, why should I be angry?"
It was absolutely impossible for Ning Fan to not be speechless after obtaining three trashy rewards.
Fortunately, his mind was connected with the Lord Ant. Even if the Lord Ant did not finish her words, he already understood what the Lord Ant meant by using the merit.
The reward of the Heavenly Map was not something that you had to take whatever the others gave you.
It was true for ordinary people.
However, there was a group of people who could cheat!
What could they use to cheat?
To take the merit points of a Saint!
The cultivators of the True World enforced justice on behalf of Heaven. They would be bestowed with merit points. There were countless uses of merit points. It was almost omnipotent. It could even forcefully raise the grade of the treasures rewarded by the Heavenly Map.
There was no other way. Merit points represented special privileges! It could even forcefully raise a person who did not have the potential to become a Saint of Virtue!
It was just that domineering!
It was just that special privileges!
It was just that they could do whatever they wanted!
"Damn it! If you have the ability, don't use my merit points to cheat! If you have the ability, take the urea pot that the rain statue gave you home and worship it! "The Lord Ant said with hatred.
"If I can cheat, why wouldn't I? Even though I'm not interested in the reward of the Heavenly Map, I dislike you taking pleasure in my misfortune even more. Sure enough, when you heard that I'm going to spend your merit points recklessly, you became depressed. We are very similar. Both of us are vile people who take pleasure in other people's misfortune. When I'm unlucky, you'll be happy. When you're angry, I'm actually quite happy too. "Ning Fan said with a smile.
"Don't be too happy! Even if you use my merit points to forcefully increase the grade of the treasure rewarded by the Heavenly Map, it will only benefit others! Don't forget that there will be others who will come to snatch your treasure later. You might not even be able to protect your treasure. Why waste your merit points?! "The Lord Ant said angrily.
"Whether I want to use my merit points or not is none of your business."
Ning Fan blocked off the Lord Ant's scolding. Then, he took out the Heaven Opening Jade Book and performed a hand seal on it.
All of a sudden, a ray of golden light shot up into the sky from the jade book. Then, it turned into ten thousand specks of light sand and sprinkled on the wooden chest.
His original eleven thousand and eight hundred Saint Merit Points were immediately reduced by one point.
As the golden light dispersed, the curse on the wooden chest gradually disappeared. At the same time, the quality of the wooden chest also began to change.
The grade of the treasure in the wooden chest had increased!
The cursed wooden chest turned into a Broken Fine Iron Chest. The grade of the treasure had risen to the ninety-seventh grade!
After opening it, one could obtain an entire chest of low-grade fine iron! Alright. Fine iron was just an immortal material used to forge low-grade magic treasures. It was useless to Ning Fan. Then, he would just raise its grade!
Once again, he used one point of Saint Merit Points!
The broken fine iron chest turned into a damaged mithril chest. The grade of the treasure was ninety-sixth grade!
Rise again!
An old Geng Gold Chest! Ninety-fifth grade!
Rise again!
An ordinary immortal jade chest!
Rise again!
A dim Dao Crystal Chest!
Rise again!
A dazzling Bright Sun Stone Chest!
Rise again!
Rise again!
Rise again!
In the beginning, it only required one point of Saint Merit Points to upgrade the grade of the treasure chest.
However, when the grade of the treasure rose to the seventieth grade, it would require two points of Saint Merit Points to upgrade it again.
After the sixtieth grade, it would require five points of Saint Merit Points to upgrade it.
After the fiftieth grade, it would require ten points.
After the fortieth grade, it would require twenty points.
After the thirtieth grade, it would require fifty points.
After the twentieth grade, it would require one hundred points.
After the tenth grade, it would require two thousand points of Saint Merit Points to upgrade the grade of the treasure.
After spending nearly two thousand points of Saint Merit Points, Ning Fan only managed to upgrade the first treasure to the tenth grade. It would be too expensive to upgrade it again. Ning Fan did not plan to spend all of his Saint Merit Points. God knows if there would be another situation like this in the future where he would need Saint Merit Points to exercise his special privileges!
Speaking of which, where was the cursed wooden chest in front of him? Only the Heavenly Dao Box of Immeasurable Fortune was left!
Ning Fan used the same method and spent another two thousand points of Saint Merit Points to upgrade the map bag that fell into the latrine pit to the tenth grade – the Map Bag of Superlative Workmanship!
After spending another two thousand points of Saint Merit Points, the stinky urea pot was upgraded to the Jade Wine Pot of the Rain Giant!
There were still more than five thousand and eight hundred points of Saint Merit Points left in the Heaven Opening Jade Book. Since Ning Fan did not have any concept of Saint Merit Points, he was very generous and did not feel any heartache. Even if he kept some of the Saint Merit Points, it was just for the occasional need in the future. It was not because he was reluctant to use it.
Ning Fan was very satisfied with the result of the upgrade. Originally, he was not interested in the reward of the heavenly map. But now, he was a little interested.
The Heavenly Dao Box seemed to contain some kind of immortal material. It actually emitted a little High Grade Innate Qi. Could it be a material used to forge High Grade Innate Magical Treasures?
Inside the map bag, there was monstrous Demonic Qi circulating. The reason was unknown and he did not know what kind of map it contained.
Ning Fan did not know what kind of powerful wine was contained in the jade wine pot. Just a trace of wine fragrance wafted out and it made Ning Fan's Rain Sovereign Realm improve a little. It was actually some kind of immortal wine that could increase the power of the Rain Sovereign Realm!
Putting aside the materials and the map, Ning Fan was determined to get the immortal wine. To him who had just broken through to the Middle Realm of the Rain Sovereign Realm, it would be extremely beneficial.
Ning Fan tried to open the Heavenly Dao Box, the map bag and the jade wine pot, but he realized that it was extremely difficult to open them. It turned out that the higher the grade of the treasure box, the stronger the restrictions on it. It was not an easy task to open them in a short period of time. Even with Ning Fan's cultivation base, he still needed a long time to open them.
Ning Fan tried again, wanting to keep the three items into his storage pouch. However, he realized that he could not do it. It was as if he could not keep the treasures before the enemy arrived. Only after the enemy arrived would the Sovereign Heavenly Map allow him to keep the treasures.
Sure enough, I can only wait for the enemy to arrive.
Ning Fan's eyes flashed with a wooden light. Then, he sat down cross-legged on the ground as if nothing had happened, protecting the three treasures.
After waiting for an unknown period of time, the world of the Sovereign Heavenly Map suddenly rippled. Then, the formation marks of the Descent Ceremony emerged continuously and spread across heaven and earth.
At the moment when the formation marks were completely completed, an ear-piercing dragon roar resounded across heaven and earth. A gigantic dragon that was condensed from green rainwater broke through the formation light and charged towards Ning Fan!
This rain dragon was too massive. It was holding a green dragon pearl in its mouth. That dragon pearl alone was already as large as an emperor-grade cultivation planet, let alone the entire body of the dragon!
Ning Fan's eyes turned slightly solemn. This rain dragon gave him a tremendous pressure. However, the source of the pressure was not from the body of the rain dragon but from the top of its head. There was an elderly man standing there with a faint smile on his face. His eyes were half-closed.
The elderly man's body was illusory. He was also condensed from the rain. His entire body had already become one with the rain! Based on this point alone, Ning Fan's current cultivation base was obviously far inferior to the elderly man.
"I wonder which Fellow Daoist has drawn the Sovereign Heavenly Map to me. I am True Monarch North Sea. I have specially come to this world to congratulate Fellow Daoist for ascending to the Sovereign Realm!"
Although the old man's words were polite, his eyes were not polite at all. There was a hidden iciness in them. It was obvious that he had come with ill intentions and was not here to congratulate!
Perfected Lord Beihai had descended following the guidance of the Heavenly Map, and the process of his descent was similar to a point-to-point teleportation. He wasn't sure where he had been teleported to, but he had the vague feeling that he was still in the Northern Heaven, not some other plane.
"In other words, the old monster who cultivated the Rain Palm and drew down the Sovereign Heavenly Diagram is a cultivator from the Northern Sky, just like me? Strange, I've never heard of any eccentrics in the lands of the Northern Heaven who cultivate rain like me. The Fish Lord's Dao is related to rain, but although he is strong, he has not been able to grasp the position for some reason. The person who cultivated the position of Rain shouldn't be him, but who could it be! "
True Lord Beihai arrived on the dragon. He stood on the dragon's head and looked down slowly.
He wanted to see who had done it!
If he hadn't seen it, he wouldn't have known, but the moment he saw it, he was shocked!
"How could it be you! This was impossible! When you defeated the Immortal Stone, you were clearly not in the Rain Palm Position, but now you have! How long has it been? "
It turned out that this so-called Perfected Lord Beihai was actually the sect master of the Water Sect!
"So Fellow Daoist is called Perfected Lord Beihai? I thought it would be more appropriate to call you the sect master of the Water Sect. "
Even though it was his first time meeting the sect master of the Water Sect, he could still recognize him with the slight reaction from the Heaven Battling Jade Umbrella he was carrying!
"Hehe. You can call me sect master or Beihai. It's just an empty title. You can call me whatever you want. On the other hand, I'm very curious whether I should call you Fellow Daoist Ning Fan or Fellow Daoist Zhao Jian, an ancient great cultivator! Hehe. What a benevolent and righteous Zhao Jian. Everyone in the world thinks that you are an ancient great cultivator but I know that you are just a mere Immortal King Realm cultivator! I know that you have some capabilities. Initially, I didn't want to fight you on the eve of the grand competition. However, since we've met each other this time, I can only fight you! "
True Lord Beihai's spirit sense scanned the Heavenly Dao Box and the paper pouch below him. He did not know what was inside them, so they did not arouse his interest. However, when his spirit sense scanned the jade wine pot, he immediately sucked in a breath of cold air.
This … This is actually an immortal wine that can improve the Sovereign Realm of Rain! Even though he was a Titled Realm cultivator and not a Sovereign Realm cultivator, he had already come into contact with a trace of the origin of Dao Law when he reached his level. He could use the power of the origin of Dao Law. As long as they have the same origin, this item could greatly improve the power of his Titled Realm of Rain!
He was determined to get this item! As for the other two items, he did not really care about them. It would be great if he could snatch them but it would be fine if he could not. Ning Fan did not know but he knew that he was not the only Water Element Old Monster who would be moved by the Sovereign Heavenly Map in the entire Illusionary World!
Those people might also come!
He could ignore a single Ning Fan. However, if those people also come, he would have to make a choice. Otherwise, he would not even have the confidence to get his hands on the jade wine pot!
"Fortunately, I'm in the Northern Heaven and I'm the closest to Ning Fan. That's why I'm the first to arrive! I can snatch the jade wine pot before the others arrive. No matter how bold this Ning Fan is, he won't dare to go against me openly! "
True Lord Beihai did not plan to waste any more time!
With a thought in his mind, he directly rode on the giant rain dragon and crashed towards the ground where Ning Fan was standing! The power of the collision was like an imperial grade starfield falling on the ground. The rain intent was like Daozi, making Ning Fan's face hurt!
Ning Fan was inwardly shocked by the scene. He initially thought that after he broke through to the Sovereign Realm, the difference between his rain intent and True Lord Beihai's would not be too big. However, he did not expect that his opponent's rain intent was actually this strong!
It was at least 30% stronger than him!
Unfortunately …
His opponent's attack with rain was precisely countered by one of his treasures!
"Even though your rain intent is strong, I have the umbrella that you dream of! If you want to snatch my item, just this bit of rain intent is not enough! "
* Bang *
As soon as Ning Fan's voice fell, the rain dragon crashed into the ground. The entire world of the Heavenly Map shook violently. The ground gave out a loud rumble and shattered into countless pieces.
True Lord Beihai's eyes narrowed slightly. He did not believe that Ning Fan would be hurt by this bit of rain intent. After all, Ning Fan had the supreme treasure of rain cultivators that he dreamed of getting back!
As expected …
In the middle of the broken land, Ning Fan was holding a green jade umbrella. He was completely unscathed as he blocked all the falling rain. Not a single drop of rain could get close to him.
Behind him were three treasures that were also unscathed!
* Roar *
The rain dragon let out a furious roar. The rainwater in the universe immediately turned into immortal rain swords and shot towards Ning Fan.
However, none of the rain swords could hurt the corner of Ning Fan's clothes!
Rain was still rain. Even if it turned into swords, it was still rain. In the end, it would still be blocked by the umbrella.
The umbrella was the superior of rain. It was an absolute restraint!
"Humph! I didn't expect you to have such a high level of rapport with your magic treasures even though you have just obtained the Heaven Battling Jade Umbrella not long ago. You've actually become one with the umbrella. Unfortunately, you don't know that this Heaven Battling Jade Umbrella has been an item of my Water Sect for generations. Don't you think it's too arrogant of you to fight me with the item of my Water Sect?! Rain Technique, Umbrella Sealing Order! "
As True Monarch Beihai let out a cold laugh, something strange happened. At this moment, countless rain patterns suddenly appeared on the surface of the Heaven Battling Jade Umbrella. Those patterns were formed by raindrops when Ning Fan used the umbrella to block the rain!
Be it the ramming rain dragons or the immortal rain swords, they were all feints. True Lord Beihai's real purpose was to make those rain patterns land on the umbrella.
"Heaven Battling Jade Umbrella, come back now!"
As True Lord Beihai gave an order, the Heaven Battling Jade Umbrella immediately broke free from Ning Fan's hand and flew back to him.
This person actually forcefully seized the control of the jade umbrella from Ning Fan's hands with the Umbrella Sealing Order!
Ning Fan's expression changed. He looked rather shocked as if he did not expect True Lord Beihai to have such an ability.
Seeing Ning Fan's astonished expression, True Lord Beihai faintly felt that something was wrong. He was also good at sensing things. He kept feeling that Ning Fan's surprised expression was a little fake and it was not sincere.
Could it be …
True Lord Beihai glanced at the Heaven Battling Jade Umbrella that flew back to him as ordered. All of a sudden, he understood something. His eyes were filled with shock and coldness.
The Heaven Battling Jade Umbrella had clearly flown to his front but he did not use his hand to catch it. Instead, he made a sudden move. With a flick of his finger, several rain slashes flew out from his fingertips and bombarded the Heaven Battling Jade Umbrella.
At the moment he made his move, the Heaven Battling Jade Umbrella also shone with a ferocious light. The Umbrella Sealing Order on its surface shattered the rain patterns with a bang. Then, countless raindrops that turned into fine needles flew out from the umbrella and pierced towards True Lord Beihai.
If True Lord Beihai were to be careless for even a moment, he would be pierced by these rain needles. Although the power of these rain needles did not seem strong, they were imbued with a trace of Palm Rank poison. If he is really pierced by them, he would certainly suffer!
Fortunately, he did not have any carelessness.
Be it the rain needles or the jade umbrella, all of them were repelled by his slashes. The spiritual light of the jade umbrella dimmed a little and it flew back to Ning Fan. Obviously, the power of the rain slashes that True Lord Beihai casually threw out was not weak. It could even slightly damage a Mid Grade Innate Magic Treasure!
If this person goes all out, how powerful would he be?!
"It seems like I have underestimated you in the past. It's my first time meeting someone who can make the Umbrella Sealing Order lose its effectiveness. I really don't know what kind of demonic technique you used on this umbrella to make it so obedient that it even dares to disobey the orders of my Water Sect! "True Lord Beihai said coldly.
This time, he was really infuriated!
He had long known that the Heaven Battling Jade Umbrella was in Ning Fan's hands. However, he was not in a hurry to get it back because he was confident that with the Umbrella Sealing Order, he could retrieve it whenever he wanted.
However, reality gave him a hard slap in the face!
Ning Fan actually used some unknown method to make the Umbrella Sealing Order lose its effectiveness!
Now, other than killing Ning Fan for real, he could not think of any other method to perfectly retrieve the Heaven Battling Jade Umbrella!
Ning Fan could kill a Quasi-Saint Realm expert. If it's not necessary, he would not be bothered to provoke another enemy. However, if it's for the sake of the Heaven Battling Jade Umbrella … He really wanted to kill Ning Fan this time!
Ning Fan remained silent, turning a deaf ear to True Lord Beihai's exclamation. Inwardly, however, he was secretly feeling pity. True Lord Beihai actually saw through such a good opportunity to launch a sneak attack. Isn't this old man a little too cautious? Could it be that he is born in the year of the rabbit?
Compared to his cautiousness, his strength was still acceptable to Ning Fan. After all, True Lord Beihai did not come with his true body. It was just a trace of his divine sense. His strength was only about one-fifth of his true body, which was equivalent to a mid-upper level First Level Quasi-Saint Realm expert. Ning Fan was confident that he could win against him after a hard battle. However, the problem was that True Lord Beihai might not be the only one who came. If there are other experts at the same level as True Lord Beihai, things would be troublesome …
Both of them wanted to end the battle as soon as possible. Just as they were about to continue fighting, they suddenly stopped.
They had no choice but to stop because more people were coming. If they continue to fight now, wouldn't they be the fisherman who benefits from it?!
At this moment, the rain in the world of the Heavenly Diagram suddenly condensed into snowflakes.
Amidst the swirling snowflakes, a golden shadow appeared in a flash and turned into a giant Buddha, standing between heaven and earth!
That giant Buddha also came with his divine sense. His divine sense was not any weaker than True Lord Beihai's!
"Amitabha. The Heavenly Diagram's reward is given to those who are fated to get it. The fated ones haven't arrived yet and you two are already fighting each other. Aren't you a little too hasty? Oh? The first one to arrive is actually Fellow Daoist Beihai? Could it be that the one who drew the Heavenly Diagram here is a cultivator from the Northern Heaven? Otherwise, the first one to arrive should be Fellow Daoist Zhen Wu who is the strongest among the water cultivators in the Dream Realm! "The giant Buddha chanted the name of Buddha and said with a compassionate expression.
However, he himself probably did not believe that he was truly compassionate. If he really was compassionate, why would he bother to get involved in this mess and increase his negative karma?!
"Eight Frigid Hell Buddha!" True Lord Beihai's expression immediately turned unpleasant when he saw who it was.
Theoretically, the strength of the Eight Frigid Hell Buddha was almost on par with him. However, this Buddha was not a Buddhist Title but an Ice Palm Position! Using rain to fight ice, the result would be the rain turning into snow in this world. True Lord Beihai knew very well that unless his Title of Rain was far stronger than the other party's Ice Palm Position, he would definitely be at a disadvantage if he fought against him.
"Rain, snow, ice …" True Lord Beihai was not the only one who came. Ning Fan was already mentally prepared for this. Thus, he was not too surprised.
What moved him was this person's Dao of Ice and Snow. At this moment, Ning Fan seemed to have seen another reincarnation of rain, another kind of fate. Rain and cloud can be the source of each other. Rain, ice and snow seem to be the same as well … The three states of water are ice, water and cloud qi, aren't they?
Originally, Ning Fan thought that he had seen the path to Grand Completion of the Rain Palm Position and he thought that he had understood the rain. However, at this moment, he realized that he did not really understand the rain. What he knew was just superficial knowledge. The end of the superficial knowledge was the true source of the rain. Starting from that source, the rain could have countless lives. It did not have to turn into clouds and fall into the sea …
"Oh? Is this fellow Daoist the one who drew the Heavenly Diagram down? You look a little unfamiliar … "The Eight Frigid Hell Buddha was looking at Ning Fan below and his expression suddenly changed.
"There's actually an uninvited guest here!" Both he and True Lord Beihai were surprised. Obviously, the person who came next was not part of their plan.
"I've escaped! A trace of my primordial spirit has actually escaped! Hahaha! Young Master of Emotions, you've miscalculated. Your Third Mountain can't crush me to death after all! Unfortunately, this trace of my primordial spirit can't come out for too long. This is my only chance to escape with the help of the Heavenly Diagram. There's not much time left. Seems like I have to end this battle as soon as possible! "
It was an elderly man with a red face. Ning Fan recognized whose primordial spirit he was the moment he saw him!
He was actually the primordial spirit of the Drowning Great Emperor!
When he kept the Drowning Realm Bottle, he had seen a trace of the Drowning Great Emperor's primordial spirit that was hidden inside.
He remembered that the primordial spirit of the Drowning Great Emperor claimed to be the eleventh ranked primordial spirit of the Drowning Great Emperor. Its cultivation base was only at the Peak Immortal King Realm.
However, the primordial spirit of the Drowning Great Emperor was different. It was much stronger than the primordial spirit of the Drowning Great Emperor in the past. Its cultivation base was at the Half-Saint Realm. Of course, compared to True Lord Beihai and the Eight Arctic Hell Buddha, the primordial spirit of the Drowning Realm Half-Saint Realm did not seem to be a threat. However, that was just on the surface! Somehow, the sense of danger that the Drowning Great Emperor gave Ning Fan was even stronger than the two of them. It was really strange!
"Hmm? Why does this young man have the qi of the Drowning Realm Bottle?! Could it be … Could it be …? "
The Drowning Great Emperor saw Ning Fan at first glance. His face was filled with surprise and joy!
"The Heavens are helping me! I didn't expect that I would not only obtain three treasures in this trip but also find the Drowning Realm Bottle! With this bottle in hand, the day when I break through the suppression of the Third Mountain is just around the corner! Hahaha! The Drowning Realm Bottle, oh the Drowning Realm Bottle. Why aren't you returning to your position after seeing your master?! "
The Drowning Great Emperor was overjoyed. He performed a hand seal and was about to forcefully recall the Drowning Realm Bottle.
However, the result made him feel awkward …
The Drowning Realm Bottle did not respond.
The Drowning Realm Bottle … had betrayed its real master and only recognized Ning Fan as its master!
"This is really interesting! What kind of demonic technique did you use on my bottle to make it insist on betraying its master?! "As soon as the Drowning Great Emperor arrived, he had already tasted the shock that True Sovereign North Sea felt earlier. Thus, he asked coldly.
Ning Fan, of course, would not be foolish enough to reveal the truth and tell the Drowning Great Emperor that he had obtained the Drowning Realm Bottle's loyalty through chatting with him.
His expression turned slightly unpleasant. Even though he was already mentally prepared for the arrival of many enemies, he still felt unprecedentedly serious when he was really surrounded by three powerful enemies.
If he were to fight one of the three clones alone, he would have a high chance of winning. However, if he were to fight one against two, it would be difficult. If he were to fight one against three, it would be a problem for him to even protect himself.
Moreover, judging from the tone of the Eight Frigid Hell Buddha, the strongest expert of the water element in the Illusionary World had obviously not arrived yet.
If that person comes again, it would not be easy for him to protect the three treasures this time. He might have to use some of his trump cards …
"It's actually the Drowning Great Emperor who has come personally. We juniors are really lucky to have the chance to witness the glory of an ancient great emperor. Fellow Daoist Ba Cold, how about we stop fighting for now? I know you are not interested in that jade wine pot. What you are interested in are the other two items. Let's work together and get rid of the others before Fellow Daoist Zhen Wu arrives. After that, we will divide all the treasures. Isn't that a wonderful thing?! " True Sovereign North Sea actually suggested to work together. However, his target was not the Drowning Great Emperor. Obviously, he looked down on the Half-Saint Realm cultivation base of the Drowning Great Emperor's clone!
"That's great!" The Eight Frigid Hell Buddha agreed. Similarly, he did not mention the Drowning Great Emperor at all. It was obvious that he also excluded the Drowning Great Emperor from the bottom of his heart. He had no choice. He was an ancient Buddha while the Drowning Great Emperor was an ancient devil ancestor. Buddha and devil had always been enemies since ancient times. How could they work together?
"Work together? Hahaha! Only the weak will gather together. I prefer to travel thousands of li alone! Not to mention that there are only you juniors here, I have nothing to be afraid of even if there are thousands of troops in front of me! "
The Drowning Great Emperor did not bother to talk nonsense with True Monarch Beihai and the Eight Frigid Buddha at all. He suddenly put his palms together and the entire world of the Heavenly Painting was instantly drowned by the monstrous waves!
"This person is clearly just a Half-Step Sage Realm cultivator. Why is it that a casual attack of his is so powerful?! This doesn't make sense! "True Monarch Beihai and the Eight Frigid Buddha's expressions changed. They knew that they had underestimated the true strength of the Drowning Great Emperor! They had really underestimated the strength of an ancient great emperor by using the cultivation base of the Dharma Ending Era as the standard!
"The Drowning Spirit Clone is actually able to use the Drowning Realm Technique which is not any weaker than the Drowning Vase! If my true self comes here and kills people with the Drowning Vase, wouldn't it be even more terrifying?! " Ning Fan's eyes became even more solemn. He no longer cared about the fact that the Drowning Vase had yet to be repaired. At once, he took out the Drowning Vase and absorbed all the waves within one thousand zhang * (3.33m per zhang) around him, preventing any of them from getting close to him.
The Drowning Vase constantly let out a sorrowful wail. Obviously, it was extremely difficult for it to face such a powerful water attack head-on since it had yet to be repaired. Its spiritual light became dimmer and dimmer.
Upon seeing this, Ning Fan felt guilty. His opponent was clearly just a vase. However, after going through a few life-and-death situations, he still could not bear to let this vase worsen his injuries. After the incident with the God Exterminating Shield, deep in his heart, he had already unconsciously regarded this vase as a companion who would share life and death with him. Thus, he naturally could not bear to hurt it.
Seeing that the Drowning Vase was on the verge of being destroyed, Ning Fan had no choice but to put it away again. As a result, the surrounding waves immediately rushed towards him again. The Drowning Great Emperor even used the Water Escape Technique to ignore the impact of the waves and dashed towards Ning Fan!
The Drowning Great Emperor's body was emitting demonic blood steam. It was the blood steam of the first stage of Ancestral Atavism!
"Give it to me! Otherwise, die! "
The Drowning Great Emperor said arrogantly. He did not put Ning Fan in his eyes at all!
Did he know who Ning Fan was? Why would he care who Ning Fan was?! Which one of the devil ancestors who came from the Devil Conferral Peak was not arrogant?!
He had the Ancestral Atavism in his hands. If anyone provokes him, he would completely return to his ancestral atavism and kill all the juniors in front of him! In the past, even Zhang Qing could not kill him. These juniors in front of him were nothing!
Ning Fan's eyes were filled with pity.
In the past few years, he had relied on the Drowning Great Emperor's vase to save his life several times. As the saying went, when drinking water, one should remember its source. It was not that he did not have any gratitude towards the Drowning Great Emperor. However, all of this gratitude was erased the moment the Drowning Great Emperor unleashed his killing intent towards him.
The one who helped him was the Drowning Vase and not the Drowning Great Emperor. He could treat the Drowning Great Emperor as his comrade, but he really could not have any good feelings towards the Drowning Great Emperor.
Since he was an enemy, he would not show any mercy!
* Boom *
Under the deep sea, amidst the turbulent undercurrents, Ning Fan summoned the Ocean Defying Sword and slashed at the Drowning Great Emperor, forcing him to retreat.
"Could this sword be …" The Drowning Great Emperor stabilized his body and vaguely recognized the Ocean Defying Sword. At once, he was enraged!
How could he not be enraged?!
Even if he used his toes to think, he would know how Ning Fan created the Ocean Defying Sword. He must have used the Eternal Inextinguishable Rain in his vase!
Those were his things. All of them were his things. However, Ning Fan had taken advantage of them in the end. His killing intent towards Ning Fan instantly skyrocketed by ten times, a hundred times!
In the deep sea, there was also a pair of eyes that noticed the qi of the Ocean Defying Sword.
It was the Eight Frigid Hell Buddha!
At first, he was still hostile towards Ning Fan. However, the moment the sword appeared, he actually felt a sense of protection towards Ning Fan.
Why?
Because it was the sword of a high-grade disciple of the Chaotic Kun Sacred Sect!
The Chaotic Kun Sacred Sect was the ancestor of all Buddhist cultivators in the world. It was the holy land in the hearts of all Buddhist cultivators. The person who wields this sword is no different from the true Buddha in the hearts of true Buddhist cultivators!
As for the Eight Frigid Hell Buddha, even though he was not a kind person, he had always claimed to be an orthodox Buddhist cultivator! How could an orthodox Buddhist cultivator allow their Buddha to be harmed by others?!
He, the Eight Frigid Hell Buddha, would not dare to snatch the treasures of the Buddha today! If this matter is spread out, how would he continue to live in the Western Heaven? His goal had changed. Today, he wanted to protect the Buddha here!
As a result …
When the Great Water Emperor charged at Ning Fan again, the Eight Frigid Hell Buddha suddenly stood in front of Ning Fan, making him feel puzzled.
"Oh my Buddha! This disciple was late. Please forgive me, Buddha! "
As soon as he finished speaking, the Eight Frigid Hell Buddha replaced Ning Fan and fought against the Great Water Emperor!
True Monarch North Sea was speechless.
He was extremely speechless. Even though he already knew that the temporary alliance of the cultivation world was not trustworthy, he did not expect that the Eight Frigid Hell Buddha would betray him in a split second and 'join forces' with Ning Fan.
"???" Ning Fan was speechless.
Ning Fan only felt puzzled.
He who was connected to all living beings could clearly sense the kindness and malice of others.
What the hell … Just a moment ago, the Eight Frigid Hell Buddha did not hide his hostility towards him at all. Why did he suddenly change his mind and become incomparably respectful towards him?
Moreover, why did he address him as … Buddha …?
I'm the same as the Great Water Emperor. We're both ancient devils. Erm … I don't think they have anything to do with the Buddha … Isn't this misunderstanding a little too subtle …?
Just as the Eight Frigid Hell Buddha and the Great Water Emperor were engaged in a fierce battle, the seawater that the Great Water Emperor summoned suddenly began to decrease rapidly, as if it was being devoured by some living creature!
In just a few breaths' time, the seawater that flooded the entire world was drunk by that gigantic creature!
* Burp *
A tortoise that was ten times larger than the Rain Dragon let out a burp that was even louder than the void storm.
The stench that it exhaled directly blew the Great Water Emperor and the Eight Frigid Hell Buddha several hundred thousand zhang * (3.33m per zhang) away!
"You guys fight slowly. I won't disturb you nor will I snatch your things. I've just drunk enough water. Now, I'm going to eat the Heavenly Map! I'll make this clear first. I don't care how you guys mess around. However, if you snatch my Heavenly Map and eat it, I'll eat all of you! "
The current Great Emperor Zhen Wu had arrived!
