Along the way, they went deeper.
That road was created by the mysterious black ball, the Divine Pill. It was formed by interweaving dao laws that surpassed the second step.
Xin Yinu and Jiu Xiaojiu went deeper into the Star Order Palace. Unlike Xin Yinu, Jiu Xiaojiu's heart was filled with uneasiness and fear.
The deeper they went into the Stellar Order Palace, the more intense the collision between the purple and yellow energies became. The degree of collision was like hundreds and thousands of Immortal Kings and Immortal Sovereigns fighting in the void. It was terrifying and no one dared to provoke them.
Further ahead, there were floating corpses floating in the void from time to time.
There were human corpses, demon corpses and devil corpses.
There were corpses with low cultivation level and corpses of Immortal Emperors and Quasi-Saints.
There were corpses as small as dust and corpses as huge as the sea of stars.
There were corpses that were less than a hundred years old and ancient corpses that had been dead for hundreds of millions of years.
Every corpse more or less maintained the complex expression they had when they died: fear, amazement, joy and satisfaction.
When Jiu Xiaojiu observed carefully, she realized that these floating corpses were not real. They were like mirages.
"These corpses are really horrifying …" Jiu Xiaojiu said with a trembling voice.
"There was once a pool in the Star Order Palace called the Lightning Transformation Pool. It was used to reproduce the Origin Thunder Sea. Those who were killed by the Lightning Transformation Pool would be remembered by the pool. When the fated ones came, the corpses would appear and the lightning would welcome them. Now, although the Lightning Transformation Pool is no longer there, the Origin Thunder Sea is still here. That's why it looks like this, "Xin Yinu explained.
"What a special welcoming ceremony … Does that mean that Senior and I are being welcomed by this invisible Origin Thunder Sea? If I could choose this welcoming method, I would rather not … "Jiu Xiaojiu said coldly.
"You're thinking too much … The Origin Thunder Sea is not welcoming us. The path of the corpses is a circle. The one at the center of the circle is the one who is welcomed by the lightning. "Xin Yinu raised her finger and pointed at the depths of the Star Order Palace.
"Senior Ning is indeed here, right? You're indeed worthy of being welcomed by the lightning … "Xin Yinu was full of admiration.
After flying for a long time, the two finally reached the end of the road.
A snowy mountain floated in the core of the Star Order Palace. There was snow that never melted in the mountain. The moment Little Jiu Jiu and Little Jiu Fang stepped onto the mountain, they felt endless sorrow. It was as if they were in mourning, as if they were in deep sorrow.
"Who dares to trespass on the Little North Pole Mountain!"
Almost as soon as the two women set foot on the mountain, several beams of starlight flew out from the mountain and landed on the ground, turning into Star Demon Giants that were a thousand feet tall.
These Star Demon Giants seemed to be the guards of the snow mountain. Seeing that there were strangers trespassing, they came out to stop them. The only strange thing was that when these Star Demon Giants spoke, they did not dare to be too loud. Instead, they spoke softly and carefully, as if they were afraid that they would disturb something if they were too loud.
One should know that the Star Demon Giant's normal voice was comparable to thunder.
"Hmm? It's you? "Among the few Star Demon Giants, an old Star Demon with a beard that reached the ground recognized Xin Yi Nu.
He was the leader of the Star Demons and his Daoist title was Dark Star Child. His cultivation level had already reached the Half Step Quasi-Sage Realm.
The Star Demon Clan was naturally arrogant. As the leader of the Star Demons in this place, Dark Star Child was even more arrogant. Even though he recognized Xin Yi Nu, his eyes were still cold and arrogant.
"It's Senior Ning's mysterious black ball that brought us here." Xin Yi Nu did not mind his tone and explained calmly.
"Eh? It's actually Lord Black Ball who brought you here? * Cough * * Cough * I didn't know that an esteemed guest had come to visit. Please forgive me for not going out to welcome you. " After hearing her words, Dark Star Child's heart skipped a beat. He was greatly frightened. His usual arrogance was gone and his tone instantly became extremely polite.
"Lord Black Ball?" Jiu Xiaojiu felt a little funny.
He felt that the Star Demons' change from arrogance to deference was funny, and he also felt that the way the Star Demons addressed the mysterious black ball was funny.
Little Ball is not a human. What kind of lord is it?
"Shh. Esteemed guest, you mustn't speak loudly in this place. Senior Ning is currently comprehending the Dao in the mountain. You mustn't disturb him. "Dark Star Child advised anxiously.
It was as if disturbing Ning Fan's comprehension was a terrible thing.
"As expected, Senior is here …" Xin Yi Nu revealed a smile.
Then, she felt a little regretful.
"Even though Senior is here, he is at a crucial moment in his comprehension. In that case, it's inconvenient for me to enter the mountain and meet Senior." Xin Yi Nu sighed faintly.
"It's alright. It's alright. Senior didn't stop us Star Demons from observing him while he was comprehending the Dao. Since we Star Demons can enter the mountain to observe Senior's comprehension, an esteemed guest like Fellow Daoist naturally can also go. "Dark Star Child chuckled and led the two ladies into the mountain.
The path to the mountain was filled with snow.
In the deepest part of the snow, a snowy valley was formed.
Ning Fan stood in the snowy valley for a long time. He raised his right hand and pressed it on a short stone tablet. His eyes were focused.
There were no words on the front of the stone tablet or the back.
However, when Ning Fan's eyes were filled with green light and he looked at the stone tablet, he actually saw words that ordinary people could not see.
This tablet was actually personally erected by Immortal Sovereign Zi Wei in the past!
The words on it were also personally carved by Immortal Sovereign Zi Wei. Each of the ancient words contained the qi of the Saint Defier Realm!
[Devil Encounter Tablet]
[Erected at the Devil Encounter]
[Destroyed by a Thought]
[When the tablet is destroyed, the person survives]
[When the tablet is destroyed, the person dies]
[Devil Encounter Time]
"What is the meaning of this stone tablet? Why did Polylore, who couldn't be repaired, guide me to this place …"
"I've repaired Polylore, but I'm still lacking something. What exactly is it that I'm lacking …"
Recently, Ning Fan had been busy repairing Unparalleled Knowledge. The more times he failed, the more clues he gained.
Ning Fan who possessed the ability to communicate with all living things once tried to communicate with the fragment directly. However, when it came to matters related to repairing it, he received no response.
It was only until yesterday that he succeeded in communicating with the fragment.
[Ning Fan: May I know how I can truly repair you?]
[Polylore: Go to the Devil Encounter Tablet … Go to the Devil Encounter Tablet first …]
[Ning Fan: Where is the Devil Encounter Tablet located?]
[Polylore: Star Order Palace … Little North Pole Mountain …]
Thus, Ning Fan came to this place and found the Devil Encounter Tablet.
Even though he had found the tablet, he did not know what it was used for. He also did not understand the meaning of the words on the tablet.
He tried to communicate with the Devil Encounter Tablet using the ability to communicate with all living things.
However.
The Devil Encounter Tablet refused to talk to him.
It was not that the two of them could not communicate.
It was just that the other party was unwilling.
"Brother Tablet, since you are unwilling to talk to me, I have no choice but to use this method. Please forgive me if I have offended you."
Ning Fan placed his palm on the stone tablet and carefully sensed it.
Wisps of Mind Power invaded the stone tablet in an attempt to establish a mental connection with it.
Unfortunately, Ning Fan's mind power was bounced back again and again. It was not easy to enter the other party's heart.
Suddenly, Ning Fan had an illusion that the Devil Encounter Tablet in front of him was like a depressed and autistic young man who did not want others to peek into his heart.
However, the Devil Encounter Tablet did not use a forceful method to reject Ning Fan's mind power. It just bounced back gently.
From the looks of it, the Devil Encounter Tablet also had some contradictions in its heart. While it was autistic, it probably also desired to be understood by others.
Ning Fan had many guesses about the Devil Encounter Tablet's inner thoughts. Thus, even if the Devil Encounter Tablet rejected him time and time again, he still did not give up. Instead, he kept pestering it …
Finally, finally.
There was a gap in the Devil Encounter Tablet's heart defense, allowing Ning Fan to enter it.
…
"Is this the inner world of the Devil Encounter Tablet?"
Ning Fan's mind entered a world that was also covered in white snow.
The inner world of the Devil Encounter Tablet was a snowy mountain. It looked very similar to the Little North Pole Mountain in the Star Order Palace but it was countless times bigger.
On top of the snowy mountain, the sky was covered in snow.
The snow was very cold. Even with Ning Fan's strong mental fortitude, he still felt a trace of coldness.
Far away on the mountain path, there was a vague figure standing in the snow.
When Ning Fan noticed the figure, he immediately chased after it.
"Sir, are you Brother Bei? Please stay and talk to me. "
However, the figure did not stop.
It was not willing to talk to Ning Fan at all.
Ning Fan chased after it while it ran further and further away as if it was escaping.
Seeing this, Ning Fan naturally did not plan to give up so easily. He chased after it at an even faster speed. Everywhere he went, he left deep footprints on the snow.
That vague figure was also running away on the snow. However, it did not leave any footprints on the snow.
It was as if there was some kind of intrinsic difference between it and Ning Fan.
Gradually, Ning Fan got closer to it. Only then did he see through the snow that the person he was chasing was actually not Brother Tablet.
Instead, it was a young lady.
It was a young lady who was wrapped in a fiery red cloak.
"So you are a lady. I apologize for my rudeness …" Ning Fan said apologetically.
Upon hearing his apology, the young lady stopped in her tracks as if she finally wanted to reply to Ning Fan. However, she soon let out a faint sigh as if she was worried about something. In the end, she did not turn her head back and continued to run towards the depths of the snow.
It was an unintentional sigh from her.
However, when it reached Ning Fan's ears, it was like a deafening sound. It made Ning Fan's mind agitated and he could not control himself.
Strange.
Just a casual sigh from the Devil Encounter Tablet could actually affect his mental state.
What was even stranger was that the closer Ning Fan got to the young lady, the more he felt a sense of unfamiliarity from her.
It was normal for them to be unfamiliar with each other. After all, today was Ning Fan's first time seeing the Devil Encounter Tablet.
What puzzled Ning Fan was that this sense of unfamiliarity seemed to be an illusion that the young lady deliberately created.
It was the first time they met. Why would she purposely create a sense of unfamiliarity between them? It seemed a little … unnecessary.
"What are you trying to hide? What are you afraid of …?"
Ning Fan frowned.
The reason he came to this place was because of Polylore Wushuang's hint. However, at this moment, he was a little concerned about the Devil Encounter Tablet itself.
The young lady's footsteps paused again. Then, she ran even faster …
At the same time, the snowstorm in the mental world of the stone tablet suddenly became countless times stronger.
Ning Fan's mind was swept away by the snowstorm. It made it difficult for him to chase after the young lady.
In the end, Ning Fan could only watch the young lady's figure disappear into the depths of the snow.
"Are you really unwilling to meet me? But if you are unwilling, why did you agree to let me enter with a trace of my mind …?" Ning Fan's frown deepened.
He was even more puzzled about the strange behavior of the young lady.
It was something that he could not ignore …
Even if it was not because of Polylore Wushuang, he still wanted to meet her. Otherwise, he would have a knot in his heart because of this matter.
The sound of the wind was very loud but there was no reply from the young lady.
Ning Fan pondered for a while and fell into deep thought. He did not withdraw his mind from the tablet even though the snowstorm was freezing his mind.
He looked around, trying to find the slightest trace of the young lady's escape from the snowy sky.
However, he could not find it.
If the young lady was unwilling to meet him, it would be difficult for Ning Fan to find her no matter what.
After all, this was the mental world of the young lady.
"Perhaps I can directly use the ability of all living things to make this mental world change its owner. Then, I can easily find that young lady. But if that's the case …"
Ning Fan sighed.
In the end, he did not use the ability to destroy the judgment of this mental world.
He did not want to do that.
"Perhaps, it's not that you are unwilling to meet me. You just don't want me to see you …" Ning Fan looked around in the snowstorm and muttered to himself.
The sound of the wind entered his ears. There was a moment of chaos. However, there was still no response from the young lady.
"You don't want me to see you but you're hiding somewhere in the snowstorm … and looking at me? Why is that? " Ning Fan was a person with sharp senses after all. Finally, he sensed a gaze from somewhere hidden in the snowstorm.
It should be that young lady looking at him through the snowstorm.
"Fine …"
Ning Fan shook his head.
Even though he had sensed the location of the young lady, he did not chase after her in the end.
Since she was unwilling to meet him, he would not force her. He simply sat cross-legged in the mental world of the young lady and began to comprehend on his own.
Seeing that Ning Fan no longer chased after her, the young lady seemed to heave a sigh of relief. At the same time, she seemed to feel … regret.
The young lady's figure turned into snowflakes and returned to the mental world of the young lady.
The snowflakes fell on Ning Fan's long hair, shoulders and palms. Then, they melted in his palms.
It was like that young lady passing by Ning Fan's mental world.
The young lady did not show up again.
However, Ning Fan could feel her gaze from every single snowflake in this place. She deliberately kept a distance from him.
"It's really … a pity." Ning Fan sighed.
He did not know what he was feeling regretful about.
He just felt that his heart had become empty in an instant. It was so empty that it made him feel lonely.
As he sat cross-legged in the snow, he felt as if a thousand lifetimes had passed in just an instant.
When he regained his senses, he realized that the season in this mental world was no longer midwinter. Instead, it had become … spring.
Everything began to recover. Plants and trees began to grow.
An ant crawled out of the soil and passed by Ning Fan's feet. It was so familiar yet so strange. When Ning Fan stretched out his hand to touch it, it turned into specks of light and disappeared like melting snow.
"You don't even want to let me come into contact with an ant here, huh …"
Ning Fan stood up and walked aimlessly on the mountain path of Spring Mountain.
At the end of the mountain path was the ocean.
Spring was warm and flowers were blooming. Everything was coming back to life. It was the mating season again. The male sea turtle lay on the body of the female sea turtle and let out a satisfied sound. However, as Ning Fan got closer to it, the male sea turtle seemed to have sensed something and let out a terrified shriek. Then, he abruptly released all of his sexual energy and escaped into the ocean.
The female sea turtle was so angry that she kept cursing.
"That male sea turtle is really ugly. It's so ugly that it's comparable to Old Wu …" Ning Fan said inexplicably.
He continued to walk aimlessly along the shore.
All of a sudden, a scene of a sandpiper and a clam fighting against each other appeared in front of him.
When he got closer, he realized that it was not a sandpiper and a clam fighting each other. Instead, it was a crane fighting against a clam.
When the crane sensed Ning Fan's approach, it instantly became absent-minded. Then, it hurriedly left the mussel and flew far away.
Ning Fan looked at the direction where the crane went and pondered. When he regained his senses, he did not even know where the mussel went.
He continued to move forward.
Ning Fan came to the end of the shore. There, a wild boar was fighting against a wild dog.
Ning Fan did not care about it and chose to move forward in another direction.
There was another mountain in front of him.
On the mountain slope, there was a damaged ox cart.
On top of the ox cart, there was an old wine gourd.
It was clearly his first time seeing this ox cart and this wine gourd. However, Ning Fan strangely and skillfully jumped onto the ox cart. Then, he untied the wine gourd and gulped down a large mouthful of wine.
When the spicy wine entered his throat, it felt like the sky was round and the earth was round. It was as if the endless Great Dao was flowing through his mouth.
"The taste … is not bad …" Ning Fan praised.
All of a sudden, the world in front of him spun!
The trace of his consciousness that had entered the Devil Meeting Stele had finally reached its limit. It began to withdraw from the stele.
His consciousness returned to his body!
The scene returned to the Star Order Palace, the Little Arctic Mountain and the snow valley.
Ning Fan's true body was still in the snow valley. However, he was not standing in front of the Devil Meeting Stele. His palm was also not pressed on the stele.
The feeling in his hand was not the cold texture of the Devil Meeting Stele.
It was …
Softness.
Hmm?
This is …
When Ning Fan regained his senses, the scene in front of him made him extremely shocked.
What exactly happened after his consciousness entered the Devil Meeting Stele?
Why is he not standing in front of the Devil Meeting Stele right now? Instead, he is lying on the body of a strange girl and pinching her softness? Hmm?
It's really soft.
"Wu wu wu wu wu …" Jiu Xiaojiu really wanted to cry!
She could not understand why Ning Fan who was in the middle of comprehending the Dao would suddenly press down on her and pinch her here, here and here!
She wanted to ask Ning Fan if he was taking advantage of her on purpose. However, she did not have the chance to do so because her mouth was sealed.
The kind that was sealed with his mouth.
After being tasted by his mouth, he even praised that the taste was not bad.
At the side, the crowd of Star Devil Clan was dumbfounded.
Besides that, there was also a slightly strange expression on her face. Xin Yiniu?
"Senior, I know that you were in the middle of comprehending the Dao just now and everything you did was unintentional. So, you don't have to be too bothered by it." Xin Yiniu comforted him indifferently.
…
After being informed by the crowd, Ning Fan finally knew what had happened just now.
When his consciousness entered the Devil Meeting Stele, Cang Xing Zi and the others led Xin Yiniu and Jiu Xiaojiu to this place to observe Ning Fan comprehending the Dao.
At first, Ning Fan's comprehension was still peaceful. His body stood upright like a statue and did not move at all.
However, after a while, Ning Fan's body began to wander aimlessly. He walked around the Little Arctic Mountain in a disorderly manner.
The crowd naturally did not dare to disturb Ning Fan who was walking aimlessly. They just quietly followed Ning Fan and observed him in secret.
After that, Ning Fan suddenly leaped onto Xin Yiniu's body and pressed her down on the ground. His actions were as rough as jumping onto an ox cart.
Fortunately, even though Ning Fan's actions were crude, he did not do anything that was out of bounds to the Xin Yi lady.
On the contrary, Jiu Xiaojiu, who was at the side, suffered.
After Ning Fan pushed the Xin Yi Lady down, Jiu Xiaojiu became extremely anxious. She wanted to pull Ning Fan away and save her beloved Senior Xin Yi Lady. However, Ning Fan pushed her down and took her place instead.
His hands moved up and down, pinching her softness.
It infuriated Jiu Xiaojiu so much that she wanted to scold Ning Fan for acting like a hooligan.
However, it was immediately sealed by his mouth and was ruthlessly tasted. Then … he was praised that the taste was not bad.
"This is actually a misunderstanding …" Ning Fan did not know how to explain the misunderstanding.
Jiu Xiaojiu was so angry that her entire body was trembling. Unfortunately, she was timid and timid. At this moment, Ning Fan had already sobered up and did not seal her mouth again. She calmed down and did not dare to blame Ning Fan for his rudeness.
She pretended to be arrogant and said, "Senior, it was an unintentional action. This little girl doesn't mind at all."
As a matter of fact, she had already determined that Ning Fan's behavior was definitely to humiliate and take revenge on her!
Forget it, forget it, don't be angry, don't be angry! He couldn't beat him even if he was angry! Angering oneself to death would be a blood loss! A good woman does not fight with a devil! In short, with this, the karma between us can be considered even, right?! This fellow has already treated me like that. Even if I don't give him the wine as an apology, I won't owe him anything!
However, I am still so angry!
"Oh right. From what Fairy Xin Yi said just now, you purposely came to the Star Order Palace to give me the wine?" Ning Fan's tone was apologetic.
He did not mean to be frivolous. Even though he did not like Jiu Xiaojiu, she had done something rude after all. Besides, he was concerned about the relationship between Jiu Xiaojiu and the Fish Master. Thus, he felt even more apologetic. He really did not want to hurt the relationship between him and the Fish Master because of this lady.
He did not intend to accept any gift of apology from Jiu Xiaojiu in the first place. Now that something like this had happened, it was even more impossible for him to accept any gift. The reason why he asked this question was actually to reject her gift so that she would not continue to trouble herself with the wine.
“！！！”
However, Jiu Xiaojiu was shocked.
However, she misunderstood his intention.
Jiu Xiaojiu only thought that Ning Fan's question was because he wanted to ask for the wine that she brewed on the spot. Therefore, she was very shocked.
She thought to herself: Great Senior Ning, you have already treated me like that but you still don't plan to write off the karma between us?! Isn't this enough?! Isn't it enough to satisfy you?! You still want me to brew wine for you? Wine? Compensation? Sin?
Is this alright?
This is not good!
Even if I, Jiu Xiaojiu, am beaten to death by you and die by the roadside, I will never brew wine for you again! Wine!
Thus, she wanted to bravely reject Ning Fan's shameless request.
However, when the words reached her mouth, they actually turned into 'I am very willing to brew wine for Senior. Please don't reject me'.
I have no other choice!
At this moment, Ning Fan was looking at her with an apologetic (malicious) expression. His stare made her hair stand on end. She really did not dare to say anything that might anger him in front of his face.
She was too cowardly!
She was suffering from paranoia!
This was a terminal illness that was incurable!
…
In the end, with Ning Fan's help, Jiu Xiaojiu easily gathered a large amount of Heavenly Dao Violet Qi from the Star Order Palace and used it to brew wine.
Inwardly, she was frantically rejecting Ning Fan. She did not want to brew wine for Ning Fan as an apology. However, her body was acting like a lackey. Every time she opened her mouth, she would say 'Senior, please accept my apology'.
Why?!
Why am I the one apologizing to him?!
Why isn't he the one apologizing to me here and there?!
Jiu Xiaojiu fell into deep self-doubt and self-denial. Then, she left the Star Order Palace in a daze.
The person who left with her was Senior Xinyi.
"Thank you for 'sacrificing yourself' to save me just now …" Xinyi thanked her.
She was thanking Jiu Xiaojiu for not caring about her own safety when Ning Fan was pressing her down on him.
She was really brave.
It was hard to imagine that such a cowardly little girl would have such a brave side.
"Ah. You're welcome. Senior, please don't mind this. It's my honor to be able to help Senior. As long as Senior survives the disaster, my sacrifice will be worth it. "Jiu Xiaojiu comforted herself.
"Actually, it might be better if you didn't save me just now. What a pity …" Xinyi said with a hint of regret.
Who knows what she is regretting?! What is it?!
Could it be that it is a pity that I could not repay my benefactor with my body in one go?
If that is the case, wouldn't my sacrifice be meaningless?!
Jiu Xiaojiu felt suffocated.
"But I still thank you for your kindness. To repay you, I will accompany you to brew wine. You can order me whenever you need to use your magic power. This is my way of thanking you. "Xinyi thanked her.
"…" No. You really don't have to accompany me! It's not convenient for me to poison Ning Fan's wine if you stay by my side.
Forget it. I don't have the courage to poison him anyway.
I'll just be a happy coward.
"Thank you for your help, Senior." Jiu Xiaojiu said politely.
"Mm. Generally speaking, this is still a win-win situation." Xinyi smiled faintly.
Hence, Jiu Xiaojiu knew that she was probably going to be used as a tool again. Alas.
…
After Jiu Xiaojiu and Xinyi left, the Little Arctic Mountain returned to its usual silence.
The star devils naturally did not dare to be as noisy as Jiu Xiaojiu. They only dared to watch quietly from the side.
The small ball of divine pills circled above the snow valley, protecting Ning Fan from the beginning.
"Although I haven't figured out the reason why Polylore Wushuang asked me to enter the Devil Seeking Stele …"
"Should I enter the Devil Seeking Stele again?"
Ning Fan's eyes flashed. He had made up his mind.
He decided to enter the Devil Seeking Stele with his consciousness again to find out what was going on.
However, this time, he gave an additional order to the star devils.
No one else was allowed to watch the stele anymore.
What if someone was treated like this by him again while he was comprehending the Dao …
"However, when I think about it carefully, what I saw in the Devil Seeking Girl's consciousness vaguely coincides with what is happening in the outside world. Why is that …"
"That mysterious feeling is like … something that I've been pursuing in the past but I couldn't succeed in the end."
Open your eyes!
When he thought about it carefully, what he saw and heard when his consciousness entered the Devil Seeking Stele felt like he had just woken up from a dream. It was as if what he saw there was the real world after he had opened his eyes. The Dao Comprehension, frivolity and all the experiences he had were actually a dream.
It was a very strange and mysterious feeling.
"Could this be the reason why Polylore Wushuang guided me to do this …?"
Ning Fan guessed but he could not verify it.
After driving away the star devils, he finally took a light breath and pressed his palm on the Devil Seeking Stele.
"Mind invasion!"
