At this moment, Ning Fan had no idea what kind of major event was happening on the North Boundary River. His mind was still in the Demon Seeking Tablet's inner world.
The ancient bronze ship sailed on the Defying World Sea, and the baleful aura on the ship soared into the sky. That baleful qi originated from the Nine Tribulation Immortal Emperor Lord Canghai and the ghost slaves that Ning Fan had just killed.
However, this baleful aura was only an illusion created by this place, and it instantly dissipated.
Even the magic treasure storage bag that Lord Blue Sea left behind after his death turned into light and dissipated.
It was as if he had never existed in the first place.
Ning Fan knew. At this moment, all he could see were illusions.
Whether it was the clouds in the sky or the sea under his feet … everything was difficult to bring him a sense of reality.
"But there are also some things that give me a sense of reality. The enlightenment tea of the demoness was so real. It is also true that I ate Lord Vast Sea and all the ghost slaves to increase my cultivation level … "
"So, why is it that swallowing the illusory man can raise my cultivation …?"
"The Devil-Meeting Tablet has existed in the Crape Myrtle North Palace for a long time. I'm afraid I'm not the only one who has come here. I'm very curious. Am I the only one who is raising my cultivation level here, or is it the same for everyone …? "
He couldn't figure it out.
Since that was the case, he might as well ask.
"Is there anyone who can answer my questions?"
Ning Fan raised his eyes to the sky and said to the empty sky.
It was as if he was asking the Demon Meeting Tablet itself, but it also seemed as if he was asking the illusory sky.
The sky seemed to have answered his question.
Unfortunately, that voice was too far away, as if it was separated by an endless cycle of reincarnation, difficult to hear clearly.
Shi Gandang: "???"
Shi Gandang said, "Senior, are you crazy? Why is he talking to the sky? No, that's not right! Could it be that there were other old monsters hidden here? It wasn't just Lord Vast Sea's attack! Yes! Senior must be talking to that hidden person! "
The more Shi Gandang thought about it, the more nervous he became. He acted as if he was facing a great enemy, but he didn't know that all of this was just his delusion.
"I can't hear Heaven's answer clearly …" Ning Fan remained silent for a while and asked the Defiant Mortal Sea another question.
Ni Chen Hai seemed to have answered Ning Fan's question.
But the voice was too far away, so he couldn't hear it clearly.
Shi Gandang: "???"
Shi Gandang said, "Could it be that the enemy isn't hiding in the sky, but in the Inverse Dust Sea? What should they do? A drop of Inverse Earth Seawater was as heavy as a mountain. Only Cang and the people of the Dragon Palace would dare to hide in the sea. Apart from them, only Saints would dare to do so. Could it be that the person who came was a Saint?! Hiss! "
Shi Gandang sucked in a breath of cold air. At this moment, his paranoia rose to an unprecedented level, and drops of cold sweat kept coming out.
Finally, he could no longer endure the fear in his heart and asked in a low voice.
"Senior, may I ask … may I ask Senior, are there any other powerful enemies hiding nearby? Could it be that we really can't escape today? "
"???" Ning Fan didn't understand why Shi Gandang would ask such a question.
However, he still explained a little.
"Little friend, you worry too much. Now that Lord Canghai is dead, there's no one else besides you and me here. "
Because Shi Gandang insisted on not letting Ning Fan address him as Fellow Daoist, Ning Fan was no longer polite this time.
"Since that's the case, may I be so bold as to ask? I wonder … who was Senior talking to just now? "Shi Gandang asked.
"With this sky, with this sea. Unfortunately, their answers were too far away and I couldn't hear them clearly … "Ning Fan said regretfully.
"???" Shi Gandang expressed that he didn't understand what Ning Fan was talking about.
Ning Fan was also too lazy to explain.
He casually found a seat on the ship and sat down. Then, he took out the fragments of Versatile Knowledge and studied how to repair them.
This was the mental world of the Devil Meeting Stele. Without its permission, it would be very difficult for Ning Fan to bring items from the outside world into this place.
Fortunately, the Devil Meeting Stele acquiesced to everything.
"Senior seemed to have taken out something from his storage pouch … Was it my misconception …?" Shi Gandang muttered to himself.
He couldn't see the fragments of Versatile Knowledge, just like how he couldn't see Ning Fan's true appearance.
From Shi Gandang's perspective, the current 'Zhang Dao' was sitting in front of a bronze table. Both of his hands were empty and he was fiddling with a pile of invisible things.
"Master didn't lie to me. This Senior's actions are really strange …"
"Although I'm very curious about what this Senior is doing … I think I shouldn't disturb Senior."
On the ancient bronze ship.
Shi Gandang was wholeheartedly controlling the ship.
Ning Fan was multitasking, studying the fragments of Versatile Knowledge.
Why did he have to multitask?
It was because he needed to pay attention to the situation in the real world.
Last time, he focused all of his attention on the Devil Meeting Stele, causing his physical body to behave rudely in the outside world. For example, he slept with the Xin Yi Lady and tasted the wine …
This time, Ning Fan was prepared for it.
Part of his attention was focused on the condition of his physical body.
"Mm. Fortunately, I was prepared this time. That's why my physical body didn't act recklessly in the Star Order Palace. Instead, I sat in front of the Devil Meeting Stele and meditated …"
"I heard from the demons of the Star Order Palace that it's very difficult for those who enter the Devil Meeting Stele with their consciousness. Therefore, even if their physical body behaves rashly, they don't have to blame themselves …"
"Things that others find difficult to do are already done by me after entering the Devil Meeting Stele for the second time …"
"As expected of me …"
Ning Fan seemed to be muttering to himself.
It also seemed like he was talking to the fragments of Versatile Knowledge in his hands.
"So, I'm already so powerful. Why are you still unwilling to serve me as your master? I'm very curious why you reject me so much. "As expected, he was talking to the fragments.
"The reason why I can't communicate with this sky and this sea is because we are too far apart. I can't talk to you because of your refusal."
"You're clearly just a broken magic treasure but you have a will that far surpasses other magic treasures. Your abilities really astonish me. I even tried to use the Myriad Things Recognition Technique to forcefully restrain you. However, I still couldn't restrain your will. "
"Should I say that my mastery of the Myriad Things Recognition Technique isn't enough or that your will is too strong?"
The fragments of Versatile Knowledge did not respond.
However, Ning Fan could feel that the other party was listening to him.
"Fine. I've already come to the heart of the Devil Meeting Stele according to your request. It's about time for you to tell me the purpose of coming here. "
There was still no response.
"This ancient bronze ship seems to be bringing me to a certain Dao Fruit Conference. Is that place your purpose? "
Even though there was no response, Ning Fan could feel that the other party's heart seemed to have been touched.
There were ripples.
"Do you really want to bring me to that Dao Fruit Conference?" Ning Fan's question was 30% doubtful and 70% certain. He had already vaguely come to a conclusion.
The Versatile Knowledge Fragment's touch deepened.
"Is there something you need there?"
The other party's heart did not change.
Therefore, Ning Fan guessed wrongly.
"Is there something or someone you want to see?"
The ripples in his heart deepened a little but it was just a little.
"What is it?"
The ripples slowed down.
"So it's a person!"
The ripples intensified!
"Interesting." Ning Fan chuckled. He had a feeling that he had found Versatile Knowledge's weakness.
Then, the smile on his face disappeared and his expression turned cold.
"The Devil Meeting Stele was unwilling to talk to me but it still prepared hot tea for me. It was not lacking in manners and it did not make things difficult for me in its heart. Therefore, I guessed that it had its reasons for ignoring me and not wanting to see me. I don't mind this matter but I feel deeply regretful. "
"But you are different. Even if you don't say anything, I can feel that you don't approve of me. "
"Could it be that you mind my identity as an immortal cultivator? After all, you also have the position of one of the four divine treasures. If you are unwilling to submit to me because of this matter, I can understand. But if you don't want to submit, why did you guide me to the heart of the Devil Meeting Stele? "
"I followed your instructions and came to this place. If you don't say anything, it won't be right. I want to repair you but I don't necessarily need you. To me, you are just an external object that is a magic treasure. If I can't repair you, I can sell you to the Heaven Reaching Sect and earn some Heavenly Dao Gold. A broken piece of the Heaven Opening Artifact should be able to fetch a high price … Or, I can directly exchange you for a large amount of Dao Comprehension Tea and invite the owner of the Devil Meeting Stele to taste the tea. Wouldn't that be better? "
The more Ning Fan spoke, the more he was tempted.
Perhaps it would be a good idea to sell Versatile Knowledge's fragment and exchange it for some useful things.
"Humph! I am the leader of the four divine treasures. You actually want to sell me in exchange for tea leaves?! " Versatile Knowledge's fragment finally spoke.
It no longer pretended to be crippled and broken.
Its tone and emotions were no different from a living person!
It was finally angered by Ning Fan to the point of speaking!
"You're finally willing to speak? If that's the case, let's sit down and have a good chat … "Ning Fan had just suggested to sit down and have a chat.
At the next moment, something strange happened.
Rays of purple starlight suddenly emerged from the fragments and gathered together, turning into an illusory old white ape that landed on the ship.
That white ape was the appearance of Versatile Knowledge after he transformed into his demon form!
What was even more amazing was that this old ape had three ears on each side of his head.
It was actually the demon form of the legendary Six-Eared Macaque!
"It can actually transform into the demon form of an ancient species …" Ning Fan was slightly surprised.
"Wrong! This appearance is not a transformation. It's my original appearance! "The white ape corrected him angrily while sitting on the other side of the same table.
"Original appearance?" Ning Fan was a little bothered by the white ape's words.
The white ape did not explain further and just snorted coldly.
"Humph! You forced me to show myself because you want to know the reason why I am unwilling to acknowledge you as my master. Since that's the case, I might as well tell you directly. I have an old master and I won't acknowledge a new one. Whether you are an immortal cultivator of Zi Dou or a fart cultivator of Zi Wei, it's none of my business! Even if you are a human or a ghost, I will not acknowledge you as my master! "
"You better change your attitude. If you are not polite, I don't mind selling you …" Ning Fan shook his head. Without any warning, his eyes suddenly turned cold.
A huge aura force suddenly gushed out, like an ancient divine spirit or an ancient devil lord.
Shi Gandang who was on the same ship was already scared silly by this monstrous aura force. This was even under Ning Fan's deliberate control, making all the aura force avoid Shi Gandang. Even so, Shi Gandang was still scared silly.
However, the white ape who was in the center of the aura force was actually calm and composed. He looked at Ning Fan with a mocking expression and allowed Ning Fan's aura force to penetrate his illusory body. It actually did not affect his body at all.
"There is indeed something strange about your body. No wonder even the master recognition technique can't do anything to you …" After Ning Fan said that, his expression returned to normal. The aura force just now was just to test him.
"You don't need to test me, and you don't need to beat around the bush about my abilities. You won't be able to learn my abilities! "The white ape said proudly.
…
The scene slightly changed to Shi Gandang's point of view.
He saw Ning Fan joking with the air at times. Sometimes, his expression turned cold and he spoke harshly to the air. Sometimes, his words carried a threatening tone, saying that he wanted to sell the empty copper table for tea. Finally, he suddenly became angry and released a supreme aura force, causing Shi Gandang to lose his balance and almost fall down.
"What kind of aura force is this?! It is actually more terrifying than anyone I have ever seen in my life! "
"What kind of explosive temper is this?! He can even erupt with such anger towards the air! "
"As expected, I still can't understand Senior's behavior …"
"Although I can't understand it, I still feel that it is very powerful!"
…
The scene changed back.
"Sure enough, Fellow Daoist has cultivated some kind of divine ability that allows you to be unafraid of external objects. That's why my methods were ineffective against Fellow Daoist. However, why do I feel that Fellow Daoist's method is very similar to the feeling of invincibility that Lie Yukou gave me? "Ning Fan asked with a faint smile.
The calm change of expression made it seem as if the person who released the aura force just a moment ago was not him.
"Oh? You have met Lie Yukou before? "White Ape cleverly changed the topic.
Deep down, he was actually a little surprised. "This brat has such sharp eyesight. He actually noticed that I used the Unparalleled Nation Holding ability!"
Ning Fan did not continue the conversation.
Then, he asked, "Tell me, why did you ask me to come here?"
He was planning to seize the initiative of the conversation.
White Ape's eyes narrowed. He could see through Ning Fan's intention. Thus, he planned to continue to change the topic and seize the initiative to strike Ning Fan's arrogance.
However, he heard Ning Fan say, "If you don't answer me, I will immediately leave this place with my consciousness. I will no longer take the boat to go to the Dao Fruit Conference."
"Ah … This …" White Ape was instantly tongue-tied. He could not even utter half of the three hundred and sixty insulting words that he had thought of in an instant.
"Then, that's it. Farewell." Seeing that White Ape still did not respond to him, Ning Fan got up and left. In a flash, his body turned into countless light spots, as if his consciousness was going to return to his body at the next moment.
"Aiya. Fellow Daoist, please wait. We can talk things out! It's my fault. Uh, no, no, no, it's my little monkey's fault. I apologize to Great Immortal. Great Immortal, please wait! "
The light spots around Ning Fan's body condensed. He smiled faintly and sat down again.
He thought to himself, Sure enough, I've caught this old demon's weakness.
"This time, Fellow Daoist, are you sure that you will talk nicely to me?" Ning Fan asked with a smile.
"I'm sure, I'm sure. I only ask that Great Immortal take this boat and accompany Little Monkey to a place. After that, if Great Immortal wants to stay or leave, it's up to you." White Ape smiled apologetically.
Just as he finished smiling apologetically, he suddenly had the misconception that he was blessed with good fortune.
Why do I feel that I used to smile helplessly at this person in front of me? Where did I do that?
Was it really an illusion?
Wait, this feeling …
In his memory, a certain supreme existence whose face could not be seen clearly said, [The world calls me Hongjun, but this is not my real name. Forget it. Today, I will use the name of Hongjun to preach the Dao to everyone. It's just that the law cannot be passed on to six people …]
The Six-Eared Macaque White Ape: [Senior, please have mercy! Leave me here to listen! Please don't chase me away, Senior.]
A certain supreme existence: [When I said that the law cannot be passed on to six people, it was just a metaphor. I'm not talking about you. Speaking of which, Fellow Daoist White Ape, there is still a karma between us. Do you really not remember it …]
A certain white ape: [I'm finished. I actually owe Ancestral Master Hongjun karma. I'm finished! Could it be that today is the day I die …]
A certain supreme existence sighed: [It seems like you really don't remember it …]
I remember now!
"I've really experienced a similar situation! But where exactly did it happen … My memory is muddled. Is it really because my magic treasure body was broken? Sigh. I can't think too deeply about it. The more I think about it, the more my head hurts … "
The white ape shook his head and withdrew all the random thoughts in his mind. When he looked at Ning Fan again, he only felt that he was ridiculous.
"Speaking of which, did I almost treat this kid as a certain supreme existence in my memory just now …?"
"This kid's cultivation base is just a little bit weak. How could he possibly be that kind of supreme existence? I didn't expect that after my magic treasure body was broken, even my intelligence has been reduced … "
The white ape criticized Ning Fan in his heart but he still put on an apologetic smile on his face. This was the result of being manipulated by Ning Fan when he had a weakness. He finally accepted his fate.
The white ape said, "Esteemed Immortal's foresight is divine. This little monkey admires you very much! Just like what Esteemed Immortal has predicted, this little monkey indeed has some personal reasons for guiding Esteemed Immortal to come here. I want to achieve it before my spirit sense dissipates … "
Ning Fan said, "Dissipate your spirit sense? So you didn't intend to be restored by me from the beginning? You've already prepared yourself for your spirit sense to dissipate and your magic treasure to turn into scrap metal? "
The white ape said, "Ah … This is a misunderstanding, Esteemed Immortal! I'm wrongly accused, Esteemed Immortal! Allow me to quibble. Ah no. Explain … "
Ning Fan said, "There's no need to explain. Whether Fellow Daoist is willing to be restored by me or not is your freedom. However, if you're not willing, you could have said it clearly from the beginning. Why did you create trouble with your own willpower, causing me to fail nearly a hundred times and wasting countless immortal materials? That's your fault. "
The white ape said, "I'm wrongly accused! Esteemed Immortal failed nearly a hundred times. The first forty-two times were because you weren't familiar with the technique! For the next thirty-three times, Esteemed Immortal's technique became more and more skillful. However, you still haven't reached the threshold of the Purple Myrtle Dou Number. Thus, it was difficult for you to connect the karmic sequence between the fragments and failed again and again … During the last nineteen times, Esteemed Immortal gradually comprehended the profundity of the technique. This little monkey had no choice but to create trouble … "
Ning Fan said, "So you still created trouble in the end."
The white ape said, "It's just nineteen times. Esteemed Immortal is magnanimous. I believe you won't be calculative with this little monkey …"
Ning Fan said, "Fellow Daoist, you're wrong. My master once said that you must be calculative with every single coin that you have to be calculative with. If Fellow Daoist had been straightforward from the beginning and didn't want to be restored by me, I would have definitely given up. In that case, I wouldn't have failed even once. At the end of the day, the responsibility for all the failures lies with you. "
The white ape said, "I'm wrongly accused, Esteemed Immortal …"
Ning Fan said, "Fellow Daoist, you just said that you owe me the money for the restoration materials for a hundred times. How are you going to repay me?"
The white ape said, "How can there be a hundred times?! Even if Esteemed Immortal is right and all the responsibility lies with me, there are only a total of ninety-four times … "
Ning Fan said, "Fellow Daoist, you might not know this but this is the calculation method that my master passed down to me. When I encounter a difficult mathematical problem, I can always use estimation as a substitute."
The white ape said, "Esteemed Immortal, you must be joking. It's just three simple numbers. How could it be difficult to calculate? Why would I need to estimate it …"
Ning Fan said, "If Fellow Daoist thinks that my estimation is wrong, I can estimate it again … 42 plus 33 plus 19 … Is it equal to two hundred times?"
The white ape said, "I understand. I understand. Esteemed Immortal, you don't need to estimate it anymore. A hundred times it is then. This little monkey will definitely compensate Esteemed Immortal! Are you satisfied with this, Esteemed Immortal? "
Ning Fan asked, "How?"
The white ape said, "As long as Esteemed Immortal listens to my guidance, I can let Esteemed Immortal's cultivation base improve tremendously in this place. Just like how you devoured Lord Cang Hai and the others in the past, you can improve your cultivation base out of nowhere! "
Ning Fan asked, "Then, how much can Fellow Daoist help me improve my cultivation base?"
The white ape said, "At least five hundred tribulations of magic power! No, at least one thousand tribulations of magic power! "
Ning Fan shook his head and did not answer.
The white ape only knew that Ning Fan was not satisfied with the number of one thousand tribulations of magic power. Thus, he hesitated if he should increase the price.
Ning Fan, however, changed the topic. "Fellow Daoist, please tell me why I can improve my magic power in this world. Is this a special case for me or does everyone who entered this world in the past have such a benefit? "
The white ape said, "Of course, everyone has such a benefit …"
Ning Fan said, "I'll say the ugly words first. If Fellow Daoist still has any lies to say, I will turn around and leave immediately. I won't stay any longer."
The white ape could not help but choke on his words. Then, he recalled that Ning Fan seemed to have the mystical ability to communicate with all living beings. In addition, Ning Fan had a deep mind. If he continues to lie, it would be extremely easy for him to see through him …
Thus, after a moment of silence, he said helplessly, "All of these are Fellow Daoist's special case."
"Since it's my special case, you can't guarantee how much my cultivation base will improve in this place. Because you don't have any experience in this aspect at all. "
"This …" The white ape could not refute. Just now, when he said that he could help Ning Fan improve his cultivation base by one thousand tribulations, it was completely nonsense.
He only guessed that Ning Fan could improve his cultivation base by around one thousand tribulations after seeing Ning Fan suddenly gain a hundred tribulations cultivation base out of nowhere.
However, all of these were just guesses after all. They were not convincing at all.
Therefore, it was a lie when he said that he could guarantee Ning Fan's cultivation base to increase to one thousand tribulations. He could not guarantee anything at all.
"Before I remind you of this lie, I won't consider it as a lie. However, I don't want to hear any lies in the following conversation. Tell me, why am I the only one who can improve my cultivation base in this world? "Ning Fan was a little surprised.
In the beginning, he really thought that everyone had such a benefit and could improve their cultivation base in the Devil Slaying Stele.
The white ape laughed dryly. "Hehe. That's because only High Immortals dare to eat the Myrtle Myrtle Dao Art in this world … Others can't do it. Naturally, they won't get such a benefit."
Ning Fan said, "You mean …"
The white ape said, "That's right. Everything in this world is transformed by the Myrtle Dao Art …"
Without waiting for the white ape to finish speaking, Ning Fan stood up and walked to the railing of the copper ship. He stretched out his hand and broke off a large piece of copper from the railing. Then, he chewed it and swallowed it. In this mental world, there were some things that would disappear as soon as Ning Fan touched them. There were also some things that were difficult for him to cross the True Void Barrier to touch. However, if he used some techniques, he could still make contact with them.
Shi Gandang was dumbfounded. "He's eating the ship! He's eating the ship! "
The white ape was also dumbfounded. "High Immortal's teeth are really good … Even though this ship is just an illusion, if you can see through its True Void, its hardness is comparable to a Twelve Nirvana Postcelestial Magic Treasure …"
Ning Fan said, "Everything in this world is transformed by the Myrtle Dao Art. Eating this piece of copper can be considered as me eating the Myrtle Dao Art. However, my cultivation base didn't improve at all. Can I assume that you're lying to me? "
The white ape was speechless. "How would I dare to lie to you, High Immortal?! High Immortal, you're too impatient! Listen to me first! "
"Actually, it's like this."
"Everything in this world is transformed by the Myrtle Dao Art. However, different objects have different structures of the Dao Art. Can Fellow Daoist understand this point?"
Ning Fan said, "Yes."
The white ape said, "The same material but different structures will result in a huge difference in the nature of the object. The Dao of Wood can be condensed into graphite but it can also be condensed into diamond. In terms of composition, graphite and diamond are the same. However, their nature is very different … "
The white ape was trying to use the knowledge that Ning Fan understood to explain to him.
Ning Fan asked, "The Dao of Wood can condense diamond?"
As he was speaking, Ning Fan opened his palm and circulated the Dao of Wood. In an instant, a piece of wood was condensed in his hand.
"Teach me how to transform it." Ning Fan passed the piece of wood to the white ape.
Shi Gandang was shocked. "He knows how to make wood?! I have never seen a wood with such a pure Dao law! "
The white ape was speechless. "This piece of wood of yours can't turn into diamond … There are too many impurities."
Ning Fan said, "But you just said that you can transform it. So, you're lying to me again? "
The white ape cried. "I'm not! I'm not lying! Don't talk nonsense! "
Ning Fan said, "Then, make one for me."
The white ape cried even harder. "I don't know how to do it, Exalted Immortal. I really don't know how to do it! I don't know how to use the Dao of Wood! I'm knowledgeable and knowledgeable. I'm unparalleled in the world. However, knowing is one thing. Whether I know how to use it or not is another thing! If I want to know everything and master everything, why would I be a magic treasure? Why don't I become an Immortal Sovereign?! "
Ning Fan said, "You said that you know but you don't know how to use it. I can't judge whether what you said is true or not."
The white ape was stunned at first. Then, he sighed and understood.
He condensed his spirit sense and formed an illusory jade slip and passed it to Ning Fan.
The white ape's face was filled with helplessness. "This is the method to condense the purified Dao of Wood into diamond. You're proficient in the Dao of Wood. You'll know whether it's true or not with just one look … I can only say that the Dao of Wood can really condense into diamond. However, the conditions are extremely harsh. The most important thing is to separate and purify the Dao of Wood … Next time, just tell me what you want. Don't say that I lied to you again …"
"If I say that I want something else, will you give it to me?" Ning Fan's eyes lit up.
"Of course I will. It just happens to be enough to compensate you for a hundred times." The white ape nodded.
"I see …" Ning Fan nodded but he did not say much about the matter of compensation.
He sent his spirit sense into the jade slip and found out that the content written inside was very profound and complicated. Just the matter of separating the components of wood and purifying the Dao of Wood was far from what he could do with his current strength.
However …
Even though the content inside was difficult to understand, it was not fake.
As a wood deity, Ning Fan could still judge whether it was real or fake.
"Great Immortal, look. The method of turning wood into stone is so exquisite. It should be enough to compensate for ten times of refining materials, right?" The white ape smiled apologetically.
"This jade slip wasn't created because of compensation. It was created because I asked it casually. Therefore, it can't be considered as compensation." Ning Fan explained seriously.
"But … Forget it." The white ape was convinced.
The white ape said tactfully, "Continue talking about the structure of this world."
Ning Fan nodded his head in satisfaction.
Indeed, in order to subdue a rascal, one must be even more rascally and shamelessly than the rascal.
The white ape said, "Everything in this world is formed by the Purple Myrtle Dao Technique. However, the minute details are vastly different. For example, when it comes to creating humans, the components of humans are mostly the same. However, there are differences between each of them. Err …"
The white ape did not dare to continue speaking.
He was afraid!
He was afraid that Ning Fan would make him create a human on the spot!
What kind of ghost can he create?!
Ning Fan asked, "Did you just say, create a human?"
The white ape burst into tears. "I really won't … I won't lie about this."
Ning Fan's senses were extremely sharp. He could tell the truth from the white ape's expression and heartbeat.
Since he knew that the white ape was not lying, he no longer pestered him endlessly.
Thus, he waved his hand and said, "You don't have to lecture me anymore. Even though I'm interested in the knowledge you're talking about, it's not the most important thing right now. Just tell me, which things in this world can increase my cultivation level and which ones can't. Are there any hidden dangers if I use this method to increase my cultivation level? Are there any other benefits in this world? Since you said that I'm the only one who can increase my cultivation level in this world, others won't have such benefits if they come here. Then, what are the other people's intentions in coming here? The Devil Meeting Stele is located at the core of the Star Order Palace. Obviously, this stele is extraordinary. It must be of great use to the Zi Wei Immortal Realm cultivators in the past. What is that great use?! And … "
The series of questions made the white ape's head hurt.
He did not want to reveal too many secrets of the Devil Meeting Stele to Ning Fan.
However, Ning Fan's series of questions had almost exposed everything about the Devil Meeting Stele.
If he dares not to answer, Ning Fan would definitely see through him.
If he tells Ning Fan the truth, it would be the same as revealing all the secrets of the Devil Meeting Stele.
How should he choose?
How should he choose?
* Sigh *
In the end, the white ape told Ning Fan everything about the Devil Meeting Stele.
Only now did Ning Fan know that the inner world of the Devil Meeting Stele could actually connect different spaces and reincarnations!
In the era when the Zi Wei Immortal Realm still existed, only the Sacred Son of the Zi Wei Immortal Realm was qualified to enter this stele and accept the test set by the Zi Wei Immortal Emperor.
The content of the test would be randomly selected from millions of scenes from the ancient memories, and the question would be that.
The Sacred Sons who participated in the test would play different roles and complete different experiences. In the end, they would be evaluated.
If they could pass the test, they would obtain different levels of benefits according to the degree of success.
Even if they die in battle in this world, they would only lose a trace of their mind. Their lives would not be in danger. There was no need to worry about their safety.
The only benefit that the Sacred Sons could obtain was the inheritance of the Zi Wei Dao Art.
However … the Zi Wei Dao Art was also divided into different grades.
According to the legends, the true form of the Zi Wei Immortal Emperor was a Crape Myrtle Flower.
The Crape Myrtle Flower bloomed with Crape Myrtle Star.
The flower had six petals.
Each petal was a type of Dao Art.
"In other words, if I can pass the test of this world, I can obtain six types of Immortal Emperor Dao Arts?" Ning Fan's eyes lit up.
He was a little interested in the Immortal Emperor Dao Arts in this world.
"It's not six. It's just one of the six. Of course, it's also possible that the result of the High Immortal Realm test isn't good and you won't be rewarded with any Dao Art." The white ape explained nervously.
He had no choice but to explain!
If Ning Fan only gets one type of Dao Art in the end and asks "Why aren't there six? You lied to me", wouldn't he be finished again?!
The white ape continued, "Speaking of which, I didn't lie when I guided High Immortal to this place. If Fellow Daoist obtains any of the Dao Arts in this world, it will be greatly beneficial to repairing Unparalleled Rumors. After all, the broken fragments need the Zi Wei Dao Art to reconnect them. If Fellow Daoist uses your half-baked Zi Wei Dao Art to repair them, even if you succeed in the end, you will only be able to restore half of the original power of the magic treasure or even less. "
Ning Fan said, "But you didn't want me to repair you from the beginning."
The white ape said, "Ah, this …"
Ning Fan continued, "I'm very curious. Why do you have the determination to die and why do you insist on coming here to meet someone?"
The white ape was stunned. Then, he smiled bitterly. While laughing, he could no longer hold on. In the end, sorrow came from his heart and turned into tears.
"My story is very long …" The white ape closed his eyes and said sadly.
"Oh. Then let's not talk about it. I don't like to touch other people's sad memories. "Ning Fan decisively cut off the white ape's words.
The white ape whose words were stuck in his throat. "???"
He thought to himself, Why is this brat in front of me not playing by the rules?!
In the beginning, he did not want to talk to Ning Fan.
Now, however, he had done so and lost all his face. What else could he do?
As long as Ning Fan asks, he would be more than willing to tell him about his past!
Only God knew how many years he had kept this in his heart! He did not even tell any of the little demons in the North Pole Palace who knew him!
To pour out one's heart, one would need a suitable trash can. Ah, no, a suitable tree hole.
You can't talk to people you know.
You can't talk to people who don't understand you.
You can't …
In short, Ning Fan was quite suitable.
As long as Ning Fan asks, he would definitely tell him!
However, Ning Fan … refused to ask!
He couldn't possibly take the initiative to tell him, could he?
Forget it …
I have a story but you don't even have wine. I won't tell you anymore. I won't tell you even if you beg me to tell you in the future!
"Speaking of which, the test in this place will be randomly selected from millions of ancient memories. How would you know whose memory I will get? If I don't get Zhang Dao's memory but someone in another space-time, how would you know that I can bring you to meet the person you want to meet? "Ning Fan continued to ask.
The white ape's random thoughts immediately stopped.
"You might not know this, High Immortal. Although there are millions of ancient memories here, most of them are related to the experiences of Immortal Sovereign Zi Wei before she attained the Dao. They are all the things that happened in the Defying Earth Realm. During that period, no matter which ancient memory you get, the person I want to meet is in her hometown … "
Halfway through his words, the white ape's sorrow was triggered again. He sighed and changed the topic subtly.
Even though he wanted to find a trash can to talk about his story, he did not want to talk about this part of the story.
"Speaking of which, High Immortal, eating the illusions of this realm might cause some trouble in the outside world."
"Oh? What kind of trouble? "Ning Fan was stunned. He did not dwell on the previous topic for too long.
Then, he thought of his physical body sitting in front of the Devil Meeting Stele obediently. He thought that it would not cause any trouble.
Thus, he was not too worried.
"It's just a possibility. It might not happen for sure! If there's no trouble in the outside world, High Immortal can't judge that I'm lying. I've already told High Immortal that this realm is formed by Zi Wei's Dao Art. It can connect different space-time and reincarnation. I heard that the three Star Lords of the Realm River had once followed the order of Old Ancestor River and used the connection characteristic of the Devil Meeting Stele to connect many sealing formations together to suppress a certain ominous land. The reason behind it is a long story … "
"Then, let's skip this part first." As expected, Ning Fan was not interested in the secrets of heaven and earth.
At least, he was not interested at the moment.
He just wanted to focus on passing the test of the Devil Meeting Stele and obtain the six types of Zi Wei Dao Arts. At the same time, he would bring Old Demon Polylore to meet the person he wants to meet and gain a wave of favorable impression from the person. Then, he would try to persuade him with reason (try to coerce him). Finally, he would gain his approval and successfully repair Polylore's divine weapon.
Even though Ning Fan said that he was not interested in Polylore, magic treasures were all external objects. It did not matter if he had one more or one less.
However, it also depended on the grade of the magic treasure.
The combination of the four divine weapons of Zi Wei was comparable to a heaven opening treasure. How powerful was a heaven opening treasure? In the past, Ning Fan could already defeat Old Ancestor Yin Mo with this treasure when he only had the sixth fragment. Even though he borrowed the power of the eyeball monster, it was undeniable how powerful a heaven opening treasure was.
It was different from the fragment of the God Destroying Shield.
What Ning Fan obtained was one-sixth of the God Destroying Shield which was a fragment. If Polylore is to repair it, it would be complete, one-fourth of it. Moreover, judging from his tone, it was the strongest of the four divine weapons!
Putting aside the fact that Polylore was very knowledgeable (cunning) and could casually take out a profound technique that could turn wood into stone, the fact that this treasure even had the divine ability of Yu Kou which was almost invincible was enough to make Ning Fan envious.
That Yu Kou seemed to have relied on one of the four divine weapons of Zi Wei to possess nearly invincible power.
However, Polylore was different. The abilities of the other divine weapons were directly in his hands! Perhaps when the divine weapons were first created, Polylore only had the ability of one type of divine weapon. However, the current Polylore already possessed the power of at least two types of divine weapons of Zi Wei!
Two out of the four divine weapons would make up half of it!
In other words, Polylore was at least equivalent to half a heaven opening treasure!
The reason why Ning Fan said 'at least' was because he felt that Polylore was very good at hiding his strength. If he didn't force him to reveal his trump card, he would never be willing to do so.
If he didn't forcefully use the All Living Things Recognition when he repaired the divine weapons, Ning Fan definitely wouldn't be able to tell that this pile of Polylore's fragments had the ability to resist the divine techniques of ancient divine spirits!
If it wasn't because of Ning Fan's repeated coercion, he didn't even plan to talk to Ning Fan.
If it wasn't because of Ning Fan's persuasion, he definitely wouldn't be willing to take out the secret technique that could turn wood into stone.
This old demon really liked to hide his strength.
I heard that in order to repel the group of devils on the Devil Conferral Summit, Polylore sacrificed his life and detonated the sea of origin lightning in the lightning pool of the North Pole Palace …
Hehe. This fellow was already almost invincible like Yu Kou. Even if he couldn't defeat the group of devils on the Devil Conferral Summit, how could he be forced to sacrifice his life? Even if he detonated the sea of origin lightning, he should still be in an invincible state and wouldn't die from the explosion.
Moreover, based on his unwillingness to be repaired by others and his desire to die, the reason why he detonated himself back then was probably because he was tired of living and wanted to commit suicide.
The problem was, why did he choose to commit suicide when the group of devils invaded the Devil Conferral Summit?
Could it be that it would be more handsome to die like this?
No. It shouldn't be such an absurd reason. Perhaps, this demon had a deeper level of consideration …
"With this demon's talent, he probably knows all the abilities of the other three divine weapons."
"If that's really the case, I just need to subdue Polylore and it would be equivalent to gathering all four divine weapons of the Zi Wei Divine Weapons.
"So …"
"How am I going to convince a magic treasure that only wants to die to be repaired by me obediently?"
"This demon is not afraid of death. A person like him should have very few weaknesses. When he detonated the lightning pool back then, it's impossible for him to only repel the group of devils on the Devil Conferral Summit. He must have also killed many of the lesser demons of the North Pole Palace. Originally, he had other methods to repel the intruders and also other methods to commit suicide. However, he chose to detonate the lightning pool which has a wide range of effects. It's obvious that he doesn't care about the lives of the other lesser demons. The lesser demons of the North Pole Palace all say that Polylore is a selfless person. However, this rumor is basically the same as the rumor of Zhao Jian being a kind person for ten lifetimes. It can't stand up to scrutiny. "
"The rumor can't be trusted. If I threaten him with the lives of the lesser demons of the North Pole Palace, he definitely won't give in. "
"Until now, I only know one weakness of his. His weakness is at the destination of the ancient bronze ship – the Dao Fruit Meeting at the North Pole Mountain. "
"If I get there, I might be able to think of a way to subdue this demon …"
Ning Fan's thoughts raced. In just a few seconds, he had thought of no less than ten possible methods to force Polylore to submit.
When the white ape met Ning Fan's faint smile, he faintly felt that Ning Fan was thinking of something bad even though he did not have any evidence.
"This Devil Slaying Stele is of great significance to the myriad of races in the North Border River. If High Immortal devours the Dao Art of Zi Wei here, it will very likely cause some unforeseen events. High Immortal, don't ask! I also don't know if there will be any unforeseen events or what will happen. After all, this has never happened before. Since ancient times until now, no Saint Child of Zi Wei has ever dared to devour the Dao Art of this place … "
"I understand. I will pay attention to the outside world. If there are any unforeseen events, I will immediately detach my consciousness from this world to avoid triggering a deeper disaster. "Ning Fan promised.
"No, no, no. High Immortal, you've misunderstood! That's not what the little monkey meant. What I mean is … No matter what happens in the outside world, High Immortal, you don't have to care about it. There's no need for you to detach your consciousness and leave this world for some trivial matters. You should know that the test of the Saint Child of Zi Wei is a once-in-a-lifetime event. From the moment High Immortal picked up the Immortal Emperor's letter, the test has already begun. Once you detach yourself from it, you won't be able to get the reward of the Dao Art of Zi Wei … "
"You won't be able to reopen the test and meet the person you want to see, right?" Ning Fan directly exposed the white ape's intention.
"That's right! Yes! Ending the test will not benefit Upper Immortal or me. So, as for what to do … Hehe, Upper Immortal, you should know. "White Ape smiled apologetically.
"I understand … I will consider your suggestion carefully. I will not leave this world easily. But if you lie to me … "
"No, no! On this point, the Exalted Immortal can rest assured! I can make a Great Heart Devil Oath about this matter … "The white ape made a solemn vow. In his heart, he thought, I'm just a broken magical treasure. I don't even have a heart. I'm not even afraid of death. I have a Heart Devil, I'm afraid of a Heart Devil Oath.
"Go ahead."
"Ah, this … I'm just being polite. Fine, I'll swear the most venomous oath. "
White Ape did not swear the Great Demon Oath.
Ning Fan did not believe it either.
White Ape only had one weakness. The Great Oath of the Heart Demon was useless against it.
As soon as the oath was made, the two of them had a pleasant conversation.
Of course, in Shi Gandang's eyes, Ning Fan was happily chatting with the air.
"I can't understand it … but it's really powerful!" Shi Gandang exclaimed from time to time.
…
Was there really no change in the outside world because of Ning Fan?
The myriad of races that were in a mess had already explained everything.
Even Old Ancestor River Bo who was in a deep slumber due to severe injuries was awakened by the chaos.
Under the order of Old Ancestor River Bo, the three Celestial Lords temporarily put aside the mending of the heavens to investigate and prevent the situation from getting worse.
This matter could only be verified. It was impossible to deduce it from the heavenly secret!
Ning Fan's heavenly secret could not be deduced. How could he deduce it when there was only chaos?!
Without a choice, Lie Yukou, Qu Ping and the Great Kun of the Northern Sea had no choice but to rush to the scene of the incident with solemn expressions.
To be more precise, Qu Ping was the only one who had a solemn expression.
Lie Yukou was a person with facial paralysis for ten thousand years. Even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, his expression would not change. Even though the Great Kun of the Northern Sea was in chaos right now, it was still under his control. Thus, he would not show any unnecessary emotions.
As for the Great Kun of the Northern Sea …
She was not concerned about the chaos in the Realm River at all. She only felt unhappy. One should know that she had been busy mending the heavens recently and did not even have enough to eat. Today was the important day where she only had one meal every ten days. It took her a long time to finish her work and was just about to eat …
However, the mission came!
She was afraid that she would directly miss the important meal that she had to eat every ten days!
How could she not be angry?!
Whoever was angry would be angry!
The first scene of the incident was the Water Ghost Clan of the myriad clans in the Realm River.
The Great Kun of the Northern Sea was extremely displeased!
He was even more displeased than the last time he met Ning Fan!
"There's no need to investigate further. I already know the truth! Other than Ning Fan, who else would hide and cause trouble in the Realm River?! There is only one truth … The murderer is Ning Fan! Let's go back and eat! Let's go home and eat! " In the Water Ghost Clan, the Great Kun of the Northern Sea did not listen to the narration of the incident from the cultivators of the Water Ghost Clan at all.
Then, he turned around and wanted to go back to his cave residence for another meal.
Seeing the Great Kun of the Northern Sea being so certain, Lie Yukou's eyes moved slightly. He waved his hand and calmed the cultivators of the Water Ghost Clan who were discussing among themselves. Then, he asked calmly, "Do you have any evidence?"
Before he had any evidence, he would not make any judgment.
He only believed in the truth.
Old Ancestor Qu Ping let out a long sigh.
According to his understanding of the Great Kun of the Northern Sea, she always acted according to her intuition. She probably did not have any evidence.
However, he felt that the instinct of the Great Kun of the Northern Sea was right. He also felt that the incident in the Realm River was definitely related to Ning Fan.
In order to destroy the Zi Wei Star which was suppressing the sea qi, one must at least be a Quasi-Saint Realm being. Moreover, that person must be a powerful being among the Quasi-Saints.
The Northern Sea God counted and found that there were only a few Quasi-Saints. He could roughly eliminate them by using the method of elimination. Among them, the most suspicious person was Ning Fan.
Of course, there were a few other people who were suspicious but Qu Ping eliminated them one by one.
First of all, it could not be Old Ancestor Eye Devil who was guarding the battlefield in the Realm River.
That person was being monitored day and night by the spies in the Realm River. Thus, there was no time for him to commit the crime. Besides, that person had always been a flamboyant person. If he really wanted to destroy the Zi Wei Star, he would certainly attack with great fanfare. He would shout while destroying the star as if he was afraid that the whole world would not know about it.
Also, it could not be the Omniscient Old Man who committed the crime.
The Omniscient Old Man's actions were ten thousand times more flamboyant than Old Ancestor Eye Devil.
Moreover, if it really was the Omniscient Old Man, he wouldn't have only destroyed the North Star in the sealed grounds. Every time that person attacked, he would use a powerful move. With a casual strike of his crane claw, the entire Water Ghost Clan, along with a few other Water Creatures nearby, would disappear from sight.
There was no such thing as a first and second crime scene.
Similarly, it couldn't have been done by the group of devils from the Demon Conferral Summit.
When it came to suppressing the Death Qi, the demons were on the same side as the Ten Thousand Races in the Border River. They would not destroy the North Star at this critical juncture, even if they really coveted the Way of the North Star.
After a round of elimination, only Ning Fan had the strength, motive and time to commit the crime.
Now, all they needed to do was to collect evidence and then they could arrest Ning Fan Hehe, arrest my ass! Old Ancestor Qu Ping did not think that the myriad of clans in the World River would dare to capture Ning Fan.
Aren't you afraid that the Realm River will be overturned by that Renegade Crane again?
Therefore, no matter how much they investigated, it was impossible for them to find any results. In the end, they would probably just settle the matter hastily.
Sigh, what an eventful time.
"Do you have any proof?" Seeing that the Northern Sea's Great Kun did not answer, Lie Yukou asked again.
If the Great Kun of the North Sea did not answer, according to his character, he would ask again and again at the same interval.
"Stop asking. It's so annoying. I don't have any proof, alright? But my intuition tells me that the murderer is Ning Fan! If you believe me, go and arrest him immediately! He should still be hiding in the North Star Palace! Go quickly. Don't disturb me when I go home for dinner! "As soon as he finished speaking, the Northern Sea's Great Kun turned into a ray of blood light and flew back to his cave residence.
He did not give Lie Yukou any chance to ask him to stay at all.
"Intuition can't be trusted." Looking at the disappearing traveling light of the Northern Sea's Great Kun, Lie Yukou shook his head.
He overruled the judgment of the Northern Sea's Great Kun.
He also did not care if the Northern Sea's Great Kun had escaped in advance.
It was enough for him and Qu Ping to handle this matter.
Then, he ordered his men to bring all the witnesses of the Water Ghost Clan to him.
He asked.
"Did any of you see who destroyed the North Violet Star?"
"Milord, we saw it! The North Star that was sealed here was destroyed by a phantom that appeared out of nowhere! "
"Phantom? What kind of phantom? "Lie Yukou continued to ask.
"There is a recording restriction around the area where our clan is sealed. Everything that happened here is recorded in this jade slip. Please have a look, Lord!"
The cultivators of the Water Ghost Clan presented the recording jade slip.
Lie Yukou scanned the jade slip with his spirit sense. After a long time, he withdrew his spirit sense and his expression finally changed.
When Qu Ping saw that, he was instantly shocked. How could he not know that something had gone beyond Lie Yukou's control? That was why he had such an expression.
"Who exactly is the murderer?! Isn't it Brother Ning? "Qu Ping asked.
He could not tell whether he was relieved or nervous at the moment.
If the murderer was Ning Fan, Lie Yukou would not feel that it was out of his control.
After guessing that Ning Fan was not the murderer, Qu Ping heaved a sigh of relief. From the bottom of his heart, he did not want to antagonize Ning Fan too much. He cherished the brief Dao discussion and friendship they had.
However, if Ning Fan was not the murderer, who else could the murderer be?!
"Take a look at this jade slip …"
Lie Yukou handed over the jade slip.
Qu Ping scanned it with his spirit sense. After a while, his expression changed drastically.
The scene was recorded in the jade slip.
When the incident happened, an illusory figure appeared out of nowhere at the place where the Water Ghost Clan was sealed.
That illusory figure was condensed from the Myrtle Myrtle Dao Technique!
That illusory figure's specific cultivation base could not be seen. However, every move it made was surrounded by the supreme Myrtle Dao Technique. It was profound and unfathomable!
Who exactly was it that had actually learned the Myrtle Dao Technique in secret and cultivated it to such a high level?!
That person did not conceal his qi at all. Thus, he was also captured and sealed in the recording jade slip.
That qi did not match Ning Fan's.
Moreover … it did not match any of the residents of the Yin World in the Illusory Dream World!
That person had the Yang World Qi that was unique to the cultivators of the True World!
The place where the Water Ghost Clan was sealed was set up by three Star Lords. However, it could not hold on for too long in the hands of that illusory figure. In just a few attacks, the seal was broken.
After that … the ten plus Myrtle Stars in the sealed place were directly devoured by that illusory figure!
It did not destroy them but devour them!
The Myrtle Star was filled with endless Dao Techniques. Who actually dared to devour this star?!
What great capabilities!
However, there was one thing that was strange.
That illusory figure was destroying the seal and devouring the Myrtle Star while speaking in a language that no one could understand.
"You're just a mere evil ghost. How dare you stop me?!"
"Since you know that I'm Zhang Dao, the disciple of the Chaotic Kun Sect, you should know what kind of capabilities I have!"
"Stand down! Otherwise, once I use my Ocean Defying Sword, you will certainly die! "
"If that's the case, I won't show any mercy."
"I have a sword that can overturn the sea and slash a thousand mountains! Prepare to die! "
"The murderer is actually the disciple of the Chaotic Kun Sect, Zhang Dao!"
"Wait, who is Zhang Dao?"
Qu Ping was confused.
He looked at Lie Yukou, trying to see what kind of expression the latter had on his face.
In the end, he only saw confusion in Lie Yukou's eyes.
Lie Yukou also did not seem to know the disciple of the Chaotic Kun Sect, Zhang Dao.
Damn it! Damn it!
Who exactly is this Zhang Dao?!
Why did he attack the Northern Border River and destroy the seal that suppresses the baleful qi?!
"According to Lord River Earl's deduction, the murderer is in the Northern Heaven … We can't find his exact location." Lie Yukou seemed to be stating a fact.
"Is there any other way to find the whereabouts of this person?" Qu Ping asked in a deep voice.
Before Lie Yukou could answer, an urgent report came.
"Bad news! The sealed land of the Blue Waves Clan is under attack by an unknown figure! The Myrtle Star in the sealed land is in imminent danger! Requesting for reinforcements from the three Star Lords! "
Hearing that, Patriarch Qu Ping's eyes immediately turned cold.
On the other hand, there was a hint of surprise in Lie Yukou's eyes.
"This Zhang Dao actually dares to show himself in public. He's really arrogant!" Qu Ping said coldly.
"Let's go to the Blue Waves Clan," Lie Yukou said indifferently.
With just a step, he disappeared without a trace from the Water Ghost Clan.
Patriarch Qu Ping's figure also swayed and followed. Obviously, he planned to join forces with Lie Yukou to take down this Zhang Dao.
