True spirits were known to be difficult to kill. Of course, with Ning Fan's current magic power, it was not difficult to refine an ordinary true spirit to death.
What was really difficult to kill were the mutated true spirits. They usually required special methods to eliminate them. They were extremely difficult to deal with.
Ning Fan had once encountered the mutated true spirit of the Dragon Horse Clan. At that time, the hearts of the sixteen Dragon Horse Crown Princes were connected. He actually needed to capture all of them before he could kill them. As for the Dragon Horse True Spirit, even the Divine Refining Cauldron could not eliminate it. It was really shocking.
In order to deal with the Dragon Horse True Spirit, Ning Fan had no choice but to buy the Complete Explanation of the Chaotic Kun True Spirit from the Heaven Piercing Cult to find a solution. Eventually, he refined the sixteenth prince into a pill and consumed it. His cultivation base improved tremendously.
Mutated true spirits were just too rare. Ning Fan had only seen them once since he started cultivating. Today was his second time seeing them.
Ning Fan had seen through the background of the Zhen Wu Old Turtle from the very beginning. What he cultivated was a mutated true spirit. That was why there were so many of them.
Child and Mother True Spirits!
According to the Complete Explanation of the Chaotic Kun True Spirit, a demon who cultivates this type of true spirit must first cultivate a strong mother spirit. Then, the mother spirit would give birth to tens of thousands of child spirits. On the day of success, if the child spirits did not die, the mother spirit would not be destroyed. If the mother spirit did not die, the child spirits would not really die even if they die. They could still return to their true bodies and be resurrected after a long period of cultivation.
The Zhen Wu Old Turtle came here with his clone. His mother spirit had not arrived yet. Thus, he only brought a few thousand child spirits with him. With Ning Fan's current magic power, it was not impossible to refine these few thousand child spirits to death. However, it would not be easy either. It would take him at least a few hundred years to refine them. Besides, these child spirits would not really die. Even if he refines all of them to death, he would not be able to refine a drop of Ten Thousand Spirit Blood.
Spending a few hundred years without any results was certainly not a bad deal for him. It was more practical to let this turtle go in exchange for something useful.
Life was like a drama. It all depended on one's acting skills.
Ning Fan refined the clone of the North Sea and the water in front of the giant turtle. However, he was just trying to scare it. In fact, he could not do anything to it. What was funny was that the turtle did not know the details of the Divine Refining Cauldron. Thus, it became cowardly as soon as it scared him. Ning Fan found this scene to be quite interesting.
"It would be great if I could take this old tortoise as a pet. It would make a good pair with Old Wu Ba. Hehe. Forget it. This old tortoise's true body is too strong. Moreover, his true body hasn't arrived yet. Even if his true body comes, I won't be able to do it with my current strength … "Ning Fan's thoughts were racing. His eyes that were looking at the giant tortoise had a hint of a smile.
For some reason, the tortoise felt a chill on its shell. Somehow, it felt that Ning Fan's smile was a little malicious. Inwardly, it made up its mind. As long as I can escape today, I will definitely avoid this little thief in the future. This thief's wood elemental power is just too terrifying.
…
After the gigantic tortoise paid a huge price, Ning Fan finally opened the wooden cage and released the spirit clone of the gigantic tortoise.
Looking at the giant tortoise's clumsy manner, Ning Fan's eyes flashed with even more joy. The Eight Frigid Hell Buddha also had the same smile on his face.
If Ning Fan also kills the Old Turtle Zhen Wu, he would really misunderstand Ning Fan as a devil lord. Luckily, Ning Fan finally found his conscience and let the old tortoise go. The sea of bitterness is boundless. Repent and you will be saved. Repent and you will become a Buddha on the spot … It seems like this High Immortal can still be saved?
"This matter is over. It's time for me to take my leave …" As soon as the gigantic tortoise left, the Eight Frigid Hell Buddha bid farewell to Ning Fan. Of course, before he left, he had to return the three treasures that he had been guarding to Ning Fan. That was what he had done.
Ning Fan did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Fellow Daoist, what do you mean? I've told you before that other than the jade wine pot, the other two items will belong to you. "
"In today's battle, I didn't contribute much and I already feel ashamed. If I accept High Immortal's reward, I'm afraid I really won't have the face to return to the Western Paradise. If High Immortal really feels that you owe me something, why don't you pay a visit to the Western Paradise some other day and tell me about the high-grade Dharma of the Chaotic Kun Sacred Sect? "
The Eight Frigid Hell Buddha suddenly changed the topic and made a request.
After hearing his request, Ning Fan smiled bitterly. "High-grade Dharma of the Chaotic Kun Sacred Sect? To be honest, I don't know anything about Dharma, let alone the high-grade Dharma of the Chaotic Kun Sacred Sect … "
"Hehe. High Immortal is really humble."
The Eight Frigid Hell Buddha did not care whether Ning Fan really did not know anything about Dharma or not.
It was fine if Ning Fan did not know anything about Dharma because he did! When Ning Fan keeps his promise and goes to the Western Paradise next time, he would definitely save him properly and use his supreme Dharma to change him back to the righteous path.
No matter what, he could not sit and watch an High Immortal of the Chaotic Kun Sacred Sect fall into the abyss of the devil path!
Without giving Ning Fan the chance to refuse, the Eight Frigid Hell Buddha took his leave again. He tore open the void and left the world of the Heavenly Diagram.
"This …"
Now that things had developed to this stage, Ning Fan also felt a huge headache. He would rather give Eight Frigid Hell Buddha two gifts than go to the Western Paradise to talk about Dharma.
He was a good devil cultivator. Why would he talk about Dharma? If his devil heart was damaged before he could finish talking about Dharma, it would really be a great loss for him.
Unfortunately, the Eight Frigid Hell Buddha did not even give him a chance to refuse. Wasn't this forcing him to do something he didn't want to do?
Either way, it was a one-sided agreement made by the Eight Frigid Hell Buddha. Ning Fan did not agree to anything either. Thus, he did not really have to do this.
"Forget it. If I have the chance to go to the Western Paradise, I'll look for some other things and give them to this person to end today's karma. It's better not to talk about Dharma … "
Ning Fan let out a sigh. Then, he began to observe the world of the Heavenly Diagram again.
Everyone's divine senses were either dead or gone. Ning Fan was the only one left in this world.
He had already obtained the three treasures. Logically speaking, there was no longer any meaning for him to stay here any longer.
However, he was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he sat cross-legged in this world unhurriedly and began to cultivate.
A few days later.
An illusory star appeared in Ning Fan's right eye. With the power of the Water Sovereign that he devoured from the Great Water Sovereign, Ning Fan officially activated the cultivation of Water Yin Yang.
The Water Yin Yang was classified into the Devil Yin Yang in his right eye.
Since this was not a conventional cultivation method, the condensation of the Water Yin Yang was not complete. He still needed a large amount of Fierce Element Crystals to cultivate before he could officially cultivate the Water Yin Yang.
A few more days passed.
Another illusory star appeared in Ning Fan's left eye. Using the small amount of True Martial Title that he had devoured, Ning Fan cultivated the True Martial Yin Yang. However, it was also not complete. He would need a large amount of cultivation to truly condense it.
Another ten days passed.
Ning Fan completely absorbed the small amount of Rain Sovereign's power that he had devoured. Then, he drank all the immortal wine in the jade wine pot.
After doing all this, the power of Ning Fan's Rain Sovereign skyrocketed by more than fifty percent. It was completely unlike the power that a person who had just cultivated the Rain Sovereign possessed!
Yu Long prostrated himself in front of Ning Fan, not even daring to breathe loudly! Ning Fan's Rain Sovereign was too powerful. For the first time, Yu Long felt an oppressive aura that was no less than that of his master, True Monarch Northern Sea!
This unlucky Yu Long was the one that Ning Fan had captured. In order to truly subdue this Yu Long, he released this dragon.
Because of this, Yu Long could clearly feel Ning Fan's increasingly powerful rain intent as it stood beside Ning Fan!
It instinctively wanted to submit to Ning Fan's power. However, its loyalty to True Monarch Northern Sea that was ingrained in its bones did not allow it to do so!
"Are you willing to follow me?"
Suddenly, Ning Fan opened his mouth and asked Yu Long.
Yu Long trembled and hesitated. It knew that as long as it nods its head, it would be able to survive. However, it could not bring itself to do so no matter what.
Survive?
That kind of thing was actually not important to it. It was not a living being in the first place. It was just a part of True Monarch Northern Sea's ability. To it, life and death were never important.
The only important thing was its master. Only … its master!
* Roar *
Yu Long answered Ning Fan with his actions!
With the horns of the Rain Dragon on its head, it unleashed all of its abilities and charged head-first at Ning Fan!
It launched a sneak attack!
While Ning Fan was distracted by his question, it finally mustered its courage and launched an attack at Ning Fan, hoping to kill him in a single blow.
"Is this your answer …?"
Ning Fan's eyes did not have the anger of being ambushed. Instead, there was only pity and sympathy.
In the end, all of his pity and sympathy turned into ruthlessness.
He easily blocked Yu Long's sneak attack and restrained it with his divine lattice of wood.
This time, he no longer showed any mercy. Instead, he activated the power of his divine lattice to devour and kill Yu Long completely.
The entire killing process lasted for three days. Three days later, Ning Fan opened his palm and activated his Rain Palm Position. The rain intent of heaven and earth instantly gathered at the center of his palm and formed an illusory rain dragon.
It was not the rain dragon of True Monarch Northern Sea. Instead, it was the rain dragon that Ning Fan cultivated after devouring his opponent's rain dragon. It was not a living being but a divine ability.
"It's a pity … that you followed the wrong master."
Looking at the rain dragon in his hand, Ning Fan sighed softly. This dragon was not the previous one after all. He admired the loyalty of that dragon but he could not use it in the end.
When he closed his palm, the rain dragon turned into rainwater and flowed through his fingers.
Then, he patted his storage pouch. Two illusory shadows of a turtle and a snake suddenly flew out from the pouch and circled around Ning Fan's body.
Then, the illusory shadows of the turtle and snake transformed into two bone-tooth flying swords that emitted the qi of the sea!
These two bone-tooth swords were the strongest treasured swords among the Mid Grade Innate Magic Treasures. When the two swords were used at the same time, they could fight against High Grade Innate Magic Treasures. They were extremely powerful!
They were the Turtle-Snake Dual Swords that he snatched from the giant turtle. No, it was not accurate to call them the Turtle-Snake Dual Swords. They were actually the Titled Weapons of the True Martial Titled Cultivators – True Martial Broken Sword!
Ning Fan did not attach much importance to magic treasures. However, magic treasures that had reached High Grade Innate Magic Treasures would be an exception.
A magic treasure of this level could greatly increase his combat power. With this treasure, he would have a hint of confidence even when facing the true body of a Second Level Quasi-Saint!
"Good sword! It's just that it's a little cowardly and slippery. It's too similar to your previous master. This is not good … "Ning Fan praised the True Martial Broken Sword and criticized it at the same time.
Tortoise Sword: Master's criticism is right!
Snake Sword: Master's criticism is reasonable!
Tortoise Sword: Master will enjoy immortal happiness forever!
Snake Sword: Master will live as long as the heavens!
As soon as the connection was established, Ning Fan could easily hear the flattering voice of the True Martial Broken Sword. These two swords are really interesting. They actually know how to flatter their master. Their intelligence is really high …
"From today onwards, the two of you are my swords. It's common for magic treasures to change owners in the cultivation world. Since you're with me, you can forget about your previous master. "Ning Fan said again.
Tortoise Sword: Previous master? That cowardly old tortoise is not my master!]
Snake Sword: From today onwards, I will only recognize Lord Ning Fan as my master!
Tortoise Sword: Master is so handsome! You're the most handsome man in the history of True Martial Realm!
Snake Sword: Ah, master is looking at me. He's looking at me! He must like me!
Tortoise Sword: Nonsense! I'm the one that master likes!
Snake Sword: How dare you! How dare you snatch master from me!
Tortoise Sword: I'll cut you!
Snake Sword: I'll cut you!
Ding ding ding. Dang dang dang!
The Tortoise Sword and Snake Sword actually fought each other in order to snatch Ning Fan.
"…" Ning Fan was so embarrassed that he was speechless.
Did the two female flying swords fall in love with him? Did they fall in love with each other so much that they became enemies?
Cough cough cough …
Why didn't anyone tell him that these two swords were female? Isn't it normal for two swords to have one male and one female?
Ning Fan waved his hand and stopped the fight between the two swords. Previously, he thought that these two swords had high spirituality and were very interesting. Now, however, he felt a headache.
If these two swords suddenly abandon their enemies and fight on their own when facing enemies in the future, Ning Fan would be in danger.
It seems like these two swords still need some time to get used to each other before they can be put to good use …
Ning Fan kept the two swords and checked the other two rewards of the Heavenly Map.
Among the three rewards of the Heavenly Map, he had already drunk all the immortal wine in the jade wine pot. Only the Heavenly Dao Box and the paper bag were left unopened.
Ning Fan first opened the paper bag.
Inside the paper bag was a drawing made of animal skin. The paper was yellowed. It was unknown how long it had been there. However, there was still a faint smell of ink lingering in his nose.
Between the ink stains, there was demonic qi of the Third Step. Obviously, this drawing was drawn by an unknown Saint of the Demon Race.
Ning Fan recognized the words on the drawing. It was the ancient demon language. Below the description of the words, there was a drawing of the skeleton of a huge fish. Countless heavenly ingredients and earthly treasures were cast on the fish bones. The weak fish bones were forcefully refined into an extremely powerful magic treasure. Each of the fish bones seemed to have turned into an Innate Treasure Sword.
"So it's the Bone Sword Forging Drawing of the Flying Sting Clan. The fish demons of this clan like to forge their own fish bones into Innate Flying Swords. When they fight against their enemies, their bone swords are really powerful. Unfortunately, you're not a fish demon. This forging drawing is useless to you. "Seeing that Ning Fan had opened a useless item, the Ant Lord was instantly overjoyed.
"…" Ning Fan was speechless. He forgot to block out the Ant Lord's noise due to a moment of carelessness and this fellow began to clamor again. How annoying.
Seeing that the drawing was useless, Ning Fan casually kept it and opened the Heavenly Dao Box. As soon as he opened it, the shining light of fortune in the box made him unable to open his eyes.
After a long time, the light of fortune faded a little. Only then did Ning Fan see what was inside the box. It was a purple ore that was engraved with Heavenly Dao Lines. The shape of the ore was like a baby who was sitting cross-legged in meditation.
"What kind of ore is this?" Ning Fan asked the Ant Lord. After all, the Ant Lord was a saint who had vast knowledge and experience.
"It's actually the [Absolute Fusion Stone]! Little ant, your luck isn't bad. "The Ant Lord gritted her teeth unwillingly. Her tone was as sour as it could be. Since Ning Fan was lucky this time, she became unhappy.
"Absolute Fusion Stone?"
Ning Fan raised his eyebrows but he did not ask the Ant Lord what it was.
His mind was connected with the Ant Lord. As soon as the Ant Lord thought of this item, he could read all the information about it from her mind.
The Absolute Fusion Stone! It was a unique ore that was ranked thirty-ninth among all the Absolute Fusion Ores in the True World! It was the key material to synthesize High Grade Innate Magic Treasures!
In the True World, it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens to forge a High Grade Innate Magic Treasure. Even those Third Step Refinement Masters had a success rate of less than one in a thousand.
In other words, a High Grade Innate Magic Treasure would need to be refined more than one thousand times in order to succeed. Moreover, that was the success rate of a top-grade Grand Master Refinement Master!
Refining a High Grade Innate Magic Treasure once would require countless immortal materials and an endless amount of time. When the consumption rate was increased to one thousand times, even a saint would not be willing to attempt it recklessly.
This was the reason why High Grade Innate Magic Treasures were rare.
It was too difficult to obtain High Grade Innate Magic Treasures through the process of refinement. Thus, the cultivators of the True World found another way to obtain this item.
That was through synthesis!
With the help of a special synthesis formation and the Absolute Fusion Stone and many other immortal materials, the cultivators of the True World could synthesize several Mid Grade Innate Magic Treasures into a High Grade Innate Magic Treasure. Of course, the failure rate of this synthesis was not low!
Similarly, if one had several High Grade Innate Magic Treasures, he could also try to synthesize a Supreme Grade Innate Magic Treasure. However, the failure rate would be much higher and the amount of Absolute Fusion Stones needed would also be much higher.
"This stone can help me synthesize a Supreme Grade Innate Magic Treasure?" Ning Fan was very tempted. If he had a Supreme Grade Innate Magic Treasure, he would even dare to challenge ancient great cultivators!
"Dream on! You only have a Fusion Stone. You can't synthesize a Supreme Grade Innate Magic Treasure, alright?! A single Fusion Stone is only enough to synthesize a High Grade Innate Magic Treasure. "The Ant Lord mocked.
"It's not bad to synthesize a High Grade Innate Magic Treasure. I already have the broken True Martial Sword which is comparable to a High Grade Innate Magic Treasure. If I synthesize another one, I will have two of them. When I face my enemies, I will have a great chance of winning even if I have to face the Rain Master himself with two High Grade Innate Magic Treasures! "Ning Fan was very optimistic.
"It's not that I want to discourage you but you are thinking too simply about the matter of synthesis. Putting aside the fact that the failure rate is extremely high, the timing, location, luck and manpower are all indispensable. Moreover, it's impossible for you to obtain the [Innate Synthesis Formation]. That is a secret formation of the ancient sacred sect of the True World! Even in the ancient sacred sect, not everyone is qualified to know about this formation. You don't even know about the formation and you actually want to synthesize magic treasures. What wishful thinking! "
"I don't know about the formation but you do. Isn't that enough? As a saint of the Hong Jun Sacred Sect, you must know about this formation. "Ning Fan said smilingly.
"Of course I know about it. But why should I tell you … Damn it!" The Ant Lord gritted her teeth in anger. She really hated this kind of mental connection.
Does it matter whether she tells Ning Fan about the formation or not?
Ning Fan could directly know everything in her mind. Why should she take the initiative to tell him?!
"Very good. I have already memorized the formation." In just slightly more than ten breaths, Ning Fan had memorized the complicated Innate Synthesis Formation without any mistakes.
This greatly surprised the Ant Lord. She had spent an entire day to memorize such a complicated formation. Isn't it a little too fast for Ning Fan to memorize it?!
"Even if you know about the formation, you won't be able to gather all the materials. Even though you're lucky enough to obtain the main material of the synthesis, the Absolute Beginning Fusion Stone, you still lack a few other supplementary materials. Those supplementary materials are all rare and precious items that can only be found in the True World … "The Ant Lord was still unwilling to give up and said sarcastically.
"I don't have them. I can buy them."
"With whom?!"
"With the Heaven Reaching Sect."
"Damn it! If Third Senior Brother finds out that you bullied me, he certainly won't sell anything to you! "The Ant Lord was furious. Wasn't the sect master of the Heaven Reaching Sect her Third Senior Brother …?
"Hehe. Then I won't let him know."
Ning Fan no longer talked nonsense with the Ant Lord. He set up the Ancient Country Trading Formation in the Heavenly Diagram World.
This time, he wanted to buy a lot of things. Other than the materials needed to synthesize High Grade Innate Magic Treasures, he also wanted to buy the few items that the giant tortoise mentioned …
Thinking about those secrets that the giant tortoise had told him, Ning Fan could not help but raise his head and look at the Heavenly Diagram World.
His gaze did not seem to be looking at the world itself at all. Instead, it was as if he was looking at some delicacies.
The Ant Lord who had a mental connection with Ning Fan began to feel uneasy. Since their minds were connected, she naturally knew what Ning Fan wanted to do.
It was obvious that Ning Fan had developed an appetite for the Heavenly Diagram World after listening to the gibberish of the giant tortoise …
"Hey! Little Ant Ning! You mustn't believe that demon tortoise! I'm a dignified Saint but I've never heard that the Heavenly Diagram World can be eaten. How can you believe what that demon tortoise said?! If you insist on going about things the wrong way, be careful not to play yourself to death. You might even drag my scattered soul to die with you … "
"Hehe. Even if you've never heard of it, it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. You've also seen it. That old tortoise had personally eaten a large part of the Heavenly Diagram World. His words still have some credibility … "
Ning Fan, of course, would not listen to the Ant Lord's advice. He had his own judgment.
After activating the trading formation, Ning Fan did not go to buy the items immediately. Instead, he sent a few contact signals to Miss Ling who was in the Little Mountain World.
Unfortunately, the other party had not activated the Ancient Country Trading Formation yet. Thus, she did not receive Ning Fan's contact request.
Ning Fan shook his head with a smile. In order to use the Ancient Country Trading Formation to contact the other party, both parties must activate the formation at the same time.
The probability of this happening was too low. Thus, Ning Fan was just trying it out casually. He was already mentally prepared for the failure of the contact.
"I wonder if she has recovered the vitality that she lost previously …"
Ning Fan shook his head and cleared away the distracting thoughts in his mind. Then, he connected the ancient country's trading formation to the Heaven Reaching Church and quickly bought all the items he needed.
One had to admit that Ning Fan was very lucky. Among the supplementary materials used to synthesize Innate Magic Treasures, the Absolute Fusion Stone was the most precious one. It was also the only item that was prohibited from being sold by the Heaven Reaching Sect. If Ning Fan lacked the Absolute Fusion Stone, he would not be able to buy it no matter what.
He had already prepared all the materials, but he did not immediately begin to synthesize the High Grade Innate Magical Treasure.
First of all, to synthesize a High Grade Innate Artifact, one would need to prepare multiple Mid Grade Innate Artifacts. These Mid Grade Innate Artifacts had their own master and secondary masters. The final type of High Grade Innate Artifact would be closely related to the Mid Grade Innate Artifact used as the main material.
Ning Fan had not thought of what kind of magical treasure to use as the main material. Moreover, the success rate of synthesizing magical treasures was too low. Only when the timing, geography, luck and manpower were all perfect could the highest success rate be achieved.
This clearly wasn't the best place to synthesize, and the timing wasn't right either. He still needed to make some calculations and calculate an auspicious time.
Thus, he put aside the matter of synthesizing magic treasures and took out the few immortal materials and pills that the giant tortoise mentioned.
In his mind, he recalled what the giant tortoise had said earlier, afraid that he would miss something.
Little friend, you're asking about the secret of my powerful blood and Qi? Hehe, this is actually the same thing as me devouring the Heavenly Diagram. It's because I ate the Heavenly Diagram that my blood and Qi became vigorous.
You said that the Heavenly Diagram can't be eaten? Nonsense! I ate it and I'm still living well!]
[Secret? Of course, there must be a secret to devouring the Heavenly Diagram. Other than using the power of the True Martial Title, I also need to make other preparations! It's not like I was born with such a huge amount of blood and Qi. In the beginning, my blood and Qi were still very weak and the power of the True Martial Title was also very weak. At that time, I needed to make many preparations to devour the Heavenly Diagram. I didn't even dare to eat it raw …
You're asking me why I want to eat the Heavenly Diagram? Sigh, this is related to my dream. I don't want to tell you and you shouldn't ask me either. You just need to remember that I'm a tortoise with a secret. That secret is even more important than my life …
Ning Fan did not care about what the old tortoise's dream was at all.
He only cared about whether the method that the old tortoise told him was real or not.
Even though the old tortoise swore that his method was definitely effective, Ning Fan had never tried it before. Thus, he was still a little uneasy.
The Sovereign Heavenly Diagram contains the blood of the Great Dao. It's really delicious. Once you eat it, you'll definitely become addicted! I'm the most honest tortoise in the world. I've never lied to anyone! Don't blame me for not reminding you! Even though the blood of the Great Dao is delicious, you can't eat too much of it. Once you eat it, your luck will be tainted and you won't be able to wash it clean. You'll suffer bad luck in the endless reincarnations. Therefore, even the Saint Defier Realm and the True World don't dare to eat it recklessly. They even forbid this matter from spreading. But I'm not afraid! I don't care even if I have to face calamities and bad luck! In this life, I must bite the heavens to pieces and suck the blood of the Great Dao dry! Only then can I escape from this world and swim back to my hometown. I want to return to the huge water vat of the Skanda Temple …]
A tortoise with a dream, huh …
A tortoise that wants to go home …
For a moment, Ning Fan felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity towards the old tortoise. However, after that, it felt unfamiliar.
He kept having a feeling that there was something particularly familiar about the battle of the Heavenly Diagram.
That's right. That's right …
There was indeed something that felt familiar. That unlucky Great Water Emperor had been bullied by the tortoise twice.
When Old Wu Ba refined the Water Bottle for the first time, he had already killed a Great Water Clone.
This time, the old tortoise spat out a water prison again and imprisoned the Great Water Clone.
This Great Water Emperor's fate is really incompatible with that of a tortoise …
Suddenly, Ning Fan's eyes narrowed and then relaxed. He seemed to have thought of something but it also seemed like he was just letting his imagination run wild.
"Is it a coincidence …? Or maybe it isn't … If that's the case, then my soft-heartedness towards this old tortoise can be explained … Otherwise, even if it's troublesome to kill his clone, I would still plot against him to teach him a lesson … If that's the case, is this old tortoise's hometown in my future or in my … past …?"
Ning Fan muttered to himself. His words seemed to be a little strange.
Not long after, Ning Fan cleared his mind and used the method that the old tortoise taught him to cook a hotpot with various spiritual herbs.
The iron pot was temporarily refined using a special immortal ore.
The spiritual herbs and the soup were steaming hot and oddly fragrant.
When the soup was boiling, Ning Fan carefully peeled off a fragment of the world of the Heavenly Diagram and threw it into the pot.
It was strange.
As soon as the fragment of the world was thrown into the pot, it immediately turned into a blood clot and was slowly cooked by the soup.
Cooking it in such a manner destroyed the components of the Great Dao Blood in the blood clot and damaged its nutrients.
However, there was nothing he could do about it. Without special treatment, Ning Fan was not a monster with blood and Qi. His body would directly explode and he would die if he ate the Great Dao Blood.
Even someone as strong as the old tortoise also ate it carefully in the beginning.
Even though the nutrients in the blood clot were severely damaged, Ning Fan still felt like his internal organs were burning when he swallowed the blood clot!
Luckily, this kind of backlash was still within Ning Fan's control. Not long after, he digested the blood clot and his blood and Qi improved significantly!
"The Sovereign Heavenly Diagram can actually be eaten!" The Lord Ant was so shocked that she could not close her mouth. This was completely different from her experience. Could it be that everything she knew in the past was wrong?
"Hmm? This is … "
After swallowing the blood clot, black qi suddenly rose from Ning Fan's body!
That black qi was none other than his black luck!
Eating the Sovereign Heavenly Diagram and refining the Great Dao Blood was too heaven-defying. Of course, it would attract endless black luck to him.
Needless to say, the old tortoise Zhen Wu who had eaten the Sovereign Heavenly Diagram for so many years was certainly a turtle with bad luck.
Now, the question was, would Ning Fan become a cultivator with bad luck after eating the Sovereign Heavenly Diagram for so many years …?
Hehe. Wasn't he already a cultivator with bad luck a long time ago? It's just that his luck was not obvious. It was so dark that he looked like a person with normal luck.
However, that was not the case.
He was a member of the Fu Li Clan, the clan with the dirtiest luck!
No matter how many colors his umbrella of luck was added to it, its essence was still extremely dark.
Then, here came the question.
Was the increase of black luck scary to a Fu Li Demon Ancestor like Ning Fan?
But what was there to be afraid of?! The more black luck he had, the stronger his luck would be. That was exactly what he wanted!
Originally, Ning Fan already had seven colors of his immortal luck. Now that his luck had increased tremendously, the eighth color of his immortal luck was gradually showing signs of appearing. However, it was just a sign. It was still far away for him to completely condense the eighth color of his immortal luck.
It's not enough. It's still not enough …
The amount of luck needed to attain the eighth color of his immortal luck was just too huge. The increase of this amount of black luck was just a drop in the ocean …
"I wonder if my luck can increase to the eighth color of my immortal luck after eating all of this Heavenly Diagram World … If that's the case, it would be an unexpected gain."
"However, there's one thing that I don't agree with. That old turtle kept saying how delicious this Heavenly Diagram World is. However, when I eat it, the taste is actually no different from duck blood boiled in the mortal world … It's just ordinary. "
Of course, compared to the ant soup that tasted like feces, this blood boiled in the mortal world was definitely a delicacy.
Ning Fan could even drink big bowls of ant soup. Would it be difficult for him to eat duck blood boiled in the mortal world?
It was impossible.
While Ning Fan was devouring it, the world of the Heavenly Diagram World finally collapsed …
…
In the Northern Heaven, the Northern Sea Star Region.
There was a star sea that ran through the starry sky of the Northern Sea Star Region. Because it contained boundless time power, it was called the Time Sea by the cultivators of the Northern Heaven.
The Lost World Palace was built in the depths of the Time Sea.
There were also immortal islands with Lost World Towers floating above the Time Sea.
As the second round of the grand competition of the Lost World Palace drew closer, more and more cultivators arrived at the Time Sea. On this day, a young man in white robes suddenly arrived. He was riding a small dragon that was condensed from rainwater.
That rain dragon was too small. It was only three zhang * (3.33m per zhang) long and it looked ordinary.
That young man seemed to be a rain cultivator. However, the rain intent around him also made him look ordinary. He did not seem to be an expert.
The young man's body was faintly discernible with clouds. Perhaps it was because of the clouds that the young man looked ordinary.
The young man sat on the rain dragon and flew close to the surface of the Time Sea. He was flipping through an old and tattered book. He looked extremely serious as if he was deeply attracted by the content of the book.
"Dao Law, Sovereign Position, Source of Dao Techniques, Dao Orthodoxy … It turns out that my divine lattice is actually of a higher grade than the Dao Orthodoxy. No wonder I could easily suppress those water cultivators … There are five innate spirits – Gods, Devils, Demons, Ghosts and Immortals. The Gods are the first of the five spirits, followed by the Immortal Spirits, Devil Spirits, Demon Spirits and Ghost Spirits …"
The young man was none other than Ning Fan. The old book he was reading was the Fake Dao Scripture that the sludge monster had given him.
Even though it was just the Fake Dao Scripture, its content almost covered the entire structure of the cultivation world. It was a great theoretical book. Throughout his journey, Ning Fan's cultivation base improved too quickly. However, his Dao Cultivation was too crude. Most of the time, he had to feel the stones to cross the river. He had to be careful with every step he took.
Only when he read this book did he realize how many detours he had taken in the past.
In the past, his Heart Devil was Zhihe. In order not to sever his emotions when he was forming his core, he even had a scene where they were separated by life and death …
Silly girl. How could I bear to hurt you? Even if you are my Heart Devil and I can form my core with a gentle wave of my hand, I still can't bear to do so …
However, this Heart Devil has to be severed eventually. Do you understand …
In order to exchange ten years of innocence for you, I am willing to overturn the heavens. Do you understand …
In order to keep your heart untainted, I am willing to sweep away all the dust in the world. Do you understand …
In order to keep your Heart Devil alive, I am willing to erase my emotions, sever my intent, give up my heart and eliminate my thoughts … I am willing to go against the heavens! I will learn from the ancient heaven-defying cultivation and go against the heavens! I will not retreat even if I die a hundred times! Do you understand?!
I-I don't understand … Have I seen you before?
You don't need to understand … Because you are my Heart Devil that I can't get rid of …
Cough cough cough …
Recalling the mushy words of love when he was young, Ning Fan's face suddenly turned red and he coughed awkwardly.
So I was also like this in the past …
One should know that this Fake Dao Scripture recorded more than one thousand methods to retain one's Heart Devil and form one's core easily.
If I had read this book in the past, I wouldn't have to do so many heaven-defying things and form my core in just a few days …
After feeling embarrassed, Ning Fan suddenly shook his head and smiled.
Actually, there was no need to feel embarrassed.
It was a waste for a person to be young if he was not absurd. Now that he was reading it, he was really moved and made up his mind. Since that was the case, how could he deny the determination of a young man with his mature eyes …
Ning Fan swept away the distracting thoughts and kept the Fake Dao Scripture. Then, he took out another ancient jade slip and sent his spirit sense into it to read it seriously.
This was the item that Omniscient Old Man gave him before he left the Earth Abyss. The contents of the jade slip were all the secret arts and abilities of the Heaven and Earth Sect …
Omniscient Old Man wanted to help Ning Fan cultivate these secret arts in the beginning. However, Ning Fan had to leave the Earth Abyss for some matters. Thus, Omniscient Old Man simply gave up his responsibility and let Ning Fan explore and cultivate them on his own.
While he was reading the jade slip attentively, a ray of fiery light suddenly broke through the waves and approached him from afar.
That fiery light was none other than a Fifth Nirvana Houtian Fire Gourd.
Everyone in the world knew that Ning Fan was very interested in gourd magic treasures. When he saw that it was a gourd magic treasure, he took a second look at it.
Then, he retracted his gaze.
This treasure was not the Qi and Blood Gourd that he had been searching for so long …
Interestingly enough, when the fire gourd saw Ning Fan looking at it, it immediately felt displeased. Then, it made a turn and attacked Ning Fan, as if it wanted to teach him a lesson.
It turned out that it was a fire gourd with a spirit. Moreover, the spirit had a bad temper and it hated it the most when others looked at it with disdain.
Behind the fire gourd was a scholarly cultivator who was panting heavily. He desperately chased after the gourd but he could not catch up to it no matter how hard he tried.
As soon as he saw the gourd attacking Ning Fan, the scholarly cultivator became anxious. "Grandpa Gourd, I beg you. Don't hurt people anymore, alright?! I can't afford to pay for the medicine anymore! "
"Humph!" The gourd snorted coldly in an extremely arrogant manner. It completely ignored the scholar's words.
Then, the gourd was burning with raging flames. Its ox qi rumbled as it smashed towards Ning Fan.
Then …
Ning Fan lightly caught the gourd in his hand. In an instant, all the flames were extinguished.
"Hiss! So strong! "The scholar's expression changed. He seemed to be shocked by Ning Fan's terrifying cultivation base.
One should know that this fire gourd was not an ordinary magic treasure. Even an Early Shedding Void Realm old monster would not dare to take a strike from the gourd with his bare hands, let alone extinguishing the immortal flames of the gourd.
There was only one reason why Ning Fan could do this. He was stronger than an Early Shedding Void Realm expert. At the very least, he must be at the Late Shedding Void Realm!
"Hmm? This gourd … "Ning Fan suddenly frowned. Logically speaking, a mere Fifth Nirvana Postcelestial Treasure was not worth his attention.
And yet, there was an aura within the gourd that he didn't like, and yet was very familiar with!
It was actually the qi of Great Sovereign Luck Wielding. Ning Fan would never forget this qi no matter what!
Ning Fan took a deep look at the gourd in his hand. Then, he glanced at the scholar who was flying towards him and understood everything.
It turned out that this scholar had been tricked by the Fate Wielding Thearch. That was why there was a faint aura of the Fate Wielding Thearch in his body.
Within the Four Heavens, the Fate Controller Great Emperor had schemed against countless people. It wasn't strange for someone in the Northern Heavens to be schemed against.
Ning Fan was not a person who liked to meddle in other people's business. He also did not have the kindness to save a scholar whom he met by chance from his scheme. He was curious if it was just a coincidence that the person who was schemed against by the Great Emperor of Fate appeared in the Lost World Palace's Grand Competition.
Or could it be that the Great Emperor Master of Fate, who was far away in the Southern Heaven, was actually paying attention to the Lost World Palace's grand competition and had even made arrangements for it?
"Junior Sun Liang greets Senior. I'm not afraid of Senior laughing at me. Junior's gourd is a little disobedient. It always likes to run around and hurt people. Fortunately, Senior is fine. Otherwise, I would really be too ashamed to show my face. I hope Senior can forgive me if I have offended you. " The scholar said with fear and trepidation. He was only at the Early Crossing Truth Realm. When facing a 'Old Ancestor She Kong' like Ning Fan, he already needed to be careful. Moreover, he had almost hurt Ning Fan just now. He was afraid that Ning Fan would seek revenge from him.
"A disobedient gourd? Hehe. Interesting. If that's the case, remember to keep a close eye on your magic treasures in case you 'accidentally' hurt others again. "
Ning Fan looked at the scholar with a faint smile. He emphasized the word 'accidentally' as if he was implying something.
As soon as Ning Fan said that, the scholar's expression changed drastically. Just as he was about to explain himself, Ning Fan suddenly muttered to the gourd as if he had gone mad. After muttering to himself, he threw the gourd back to the scholar.
"Sun Liang, is it? Behave yourself."
Under the scholar's gloomy gaze, Ning Fan gave him a warning in a light voice and left on his dragon.
"Am I thinking too much? If this person sees through my scheme, he probably won't let me go and it's even more impossible for him to return the gourd …"
The scholar's heart was beating like a drum. Suddenly, he thought of something and sneered. After making sure that Ning Fan had gone far away, he reprimanded the gourd. "You already knew that this person is strong, didn't you?! I clearly told you that you are only allowed to attack cultivators who are below the Crossing Truth Realm. However, you purposely attacked this person and nearly caused me trouble! I should have told you not to be anxious. You must endure your hunger! "
"Humph!" The gourd seemed to only know how to snort coldly. It had a bad temper and ignored the scholar.
Seeing that, the scholar also felt a headache. He tried to persuade the gourd with kind words. "Grandpa Gourd, I know you are hungry and you want to eat some powerful cultivators. However, you have to endure it. Endure it, understand? If you don't listen to me, I won't be able to help you recover to a higher level. Do you want to be a Postnatal Magic Treasure forever? Don't you want to turn back into the 'Man-Eating Gourd' that dominated the Southern Heaven?! Listen to me. Eat some low-levelled cultivators first. Eat them silently. After you recover some of your level, you will eat those She Kong and Suan Nian old monsters. Do it step by step. Don't be anxious. "
"… Alright." The gourd remained silent for a long time. Finally, it made a sound of agreement. It seemed like it was convinced by the scholar.
Seeing that the gourd was convinced, the scholar heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he brought the gourd to look for the next prey that was left alone …
…
"The Man-Eating Gourd, huh … It turns out that the gourd didn't want to attack me. Instead, it wanted to eat me. Hehe. It sure has some guts."
On the rain dragon that was moving far away, Ning Fan's eyes flashed with an undetectable coldness. However, he quickly retracted it.
If it wasn't because he was a little concerned about the qi of the Great Emperor Fate Master and wanted to see what would happen next, he might have already killed Sun Liang.
Of course, even if he didn't do anything, Sun Liang would not live for long.
With Ning Fan's attainments in the Dao of Divination, it was not difficult for him to see the fate of a cultivator in the Crossing Truth Realm. With just a glance, he could tell that Sun Liang's face was filled with death. He would definitely die within a month.
Sun Liang was going to die because of the Great Emperor Fate Master's scheme …
However, I don't know what benefits the Great Emperor Fate Master Fate Master could gain from this and whether this matter is related to the grand competition of the Lost World Palace …
