Evil cultivators spent their entire lives building and breaking the shackles. Mystic cultivators spent their entire lives strengthening the shackles.
But in reality, people didn't need to live that tiring. They just needed to stick to their own Dao.
The spiritual qi in Song Country wasn't as good as Yue Country, but it was twice as big as Yue Country. According to Ning Fan's estimation, it would take at least three months to reach the northern boundary of Song Country and enter Zheng Country.
In these three months, the cultivators of Song Country had inspected the ship forty-one times. But every time, Ning Fan would ask Bing Ling to show the jade token to the cultivators. Because of that, no one dared to make things difficult for the ship.
In these three months, the Red Flower Old Demon had ambushed the Seven Apricot Old Ship three times. The old demon was very careful. It always used spirit sense attacks and demonic arts to ambush the ship.
Demonic arts were different from magical arts. It was a special kind of art that could only be used with demon veins. What provided the energy wasn't magical power but … mental power!
Demonic cultivation was divided into body cultivation and technique cultivation. Body cultivators usually maintained their beast form. Even if they broke through to the Gold Core realm, they might not be able to transform into a human and retain their beast form because the body of a demonic beast was obviously stronger than a human body.
On the other hand, technique cultivators usually cultivated the inherited racial demonic arts from the bloodline memory. Although this kind of spirit sense magical art was cast with mental power, its effect wasn't much different from ordinary magical arts. However, some special demonic arts could attach themselves to the body and attack the sea of consciousness, which was extremely troublesome to deal with.
However, orthodox demonic cultivation was extremely rare in the Rain Immortal World. The origin of the Red Flower Old Demon seemed to be questionable.
During the first ambush, the old demon was five hundred li away from the ship. He used dozens of Core realm demonic arts to attack the ship as if he was probing. However, the result was that his attack was easily blocked by the Nascent Level Lower Grade Defensive Formation of the ship.
During the second ambush, the old demon was eight hundred li away from the ship. He was more cautious and used seven Nascent Realm Low Grade Demonic Arts to finally break a hole in the formation. But immediately, a starlight sword shadow flew out from Ning Fan's glabella. It stood on the old demon's demonic sense and burned all the demonic arts into nothingness.
This greatly surprised the old monster. He secretly thought that this Harmonious Spirit junior actually had the Soul Burning Sword.
Therefore, during the third sneak attack, the Old Demon was a thousand and one hundred li away. Ning Fan's spirit sense couldn't sense the Old Demon's spirit sense at this place. In the end, the Old Demon's spirit sense was still stronger than Ning Fan's.
This time, the old demon did not hold back at all. He used some kind of Nascent Realm Middle Grade spell called Demon Star Fall. It borrowed the power of starlight and integrated it into the spell. Its power was quite extraordinary and it was the old demon's trump card.
In just a few breaths of time, this technique broke through the formation light of the ship. However, Ning Fan's eyes immediately turned cold.
"Three times! You have already touched my bottom line. If there is a fourth time, you will regret it! "
A faint black spirit sense swept out from the top of Ning Fan's head like ink-colored sword shadows, breaking the Demon Star Technique.
Demonic Technique was known for being strange and difficult to defend against. However, its power was not as strong as a low-grade magical technique. With a sweep of his sword sense, the spirit sense in the Demonic Star Technique was easily crushed.
The tactic collapsed on its own!
"This is … Sword sense?! Not good. Sword sense is the natural enemy of demonic technique. How could such a junior have sword sense? Moreover, his sword sense is very unusual. What is that sword qi? It actually made me, a dignified Nascent Soul Realm demon, feel deeply afraid. "
At this point, Red Flower Old Demon's fear of the Seven Apricot Voyage Ship deepened. She reckoned that the success rate of attacking the ship and snatching the three girls was less than fifty percent. Feeling helpless, she stopped pursuing the ship.
Ning Fan, on the other hand, revealed a slight look of pity.
This Nascent Soul Realm demon was actually a female demon.
He had no interest in asking why the female demon tormented women. However, it would be a wonderful thing if he could capture this female demon as his cauldron.
Unfortunately, this female demon was very cautious. Her spirit sense and teleportation speed were both faster than Ning Fan. She did not approach the ship and only used her demonic technique to sneak attack and probe from afar. After knowing that she had no confidence of winning, she immediately gave up.
Ning Fan would not be able to capture a female demon like her unless she came to him on her own accord. If Ning Fan couldn't catch her, it was even more impossible for those Gold Core Realm cultivators of Song Country to catch her.
What caught Ning Fan's attention the most was that there was a demonic blood-red rune on the female demon's glabella. It seemed to be the script of the demon race.
Within the rune, there was a trace of blood-red Divine Intent. That Divine Intent contained an almost tyrannical killing intent. That blood-red Divine Intent did not belong to the female demon. It should be a powerful Spirit Severing Realm demon cultivator who planted the rune on the female demon's glabella.
This rune was somewhat similar to the Mental Seal. It was a method used by the ancient demon race to control their slaves. This rune also had another function. That was to activate a magical attack when the slave was in danger.
Perhaps the magical spell on the female demon's glabella was the life-saving technique of the old demon. Ning Fan did not have full confidence of defending against that magical spell. Therefore, he gradually put down the thought of capturing the female demon and making her his cauldron.
As for the ugly appearance of the female demon, Ning Fan automatically ignored it.
"Master said that everything will be the same even if the light is extinguished." Ning Fan said something extremely indecent with an extremely serious expression.
Since the female demon had given up on attacking the ship, Ning Fan did not have the ability to capture her. Therefore, the ship was temporarily peaceful.
For the past three months, Ning Fan had been cultivating day and night. He would only listen to Suqiu's flute at dusk. The sound of the flute could calm the Heart's Devil. It was very beneficial to him. After the last time, Suqiu no longer asked about Ning Fan's personal matters. She also did not reprimand Ning Fan anymore. However, she seemed to have something on her mind. She became serious again.
Ning Fan was cultivating the Colossal Bone Secret Arts. If he could successfully cultivate this technique, he would be able to transform into a ten zhang tall giant with the first realm of the Silver Bone. He might even be able to fight against an Early Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. His magical power had reached a bottleneck. He dared not cultivate it anymore unless he reached the Core Formation realm. Therefore, he could only cultivate his body.
The first realm of the Colossal Bone Secret Arts was called Vein Burning. It required the spiritual herbs specified in the manual to be made into a medicinal liquid. Under the control of magical power, the liquid would circulate in the immortal veins.
The spiritual herbs specified in the manual were all rich in Fire Spirit. Ning Fan happened to have all of them. After the fusion, the liquid would be like magma, bubbling and boiling. The medicinal power was dense and terrifying.
The moment this medicine entered the throat, it felt like it was on fire. When it entered the immortal veins, it felt like it was going to burn the immortal veins.
However, the Colossal Bone Secret Arts required this kind of burning pain. This kind of pain was unbearable for ordinary people. The black corpse had refined Tian Yi Zi into a corpse refiner before he could cultivate this technique.
The pain of this technique was comparable to the third Jade Royal Pill. However, Ning Fan frowned and did not make a sound. For a whole month, he did not make a sound even though his robe was drenched in sweat from the pain. He had endured the pain of the Jade Royal Pill. He could also endure the pain of the Colossal Bone Secret Arts burning his immortal veins.
What made Ning Fan feel pity was that if the pain was twice as painful, he could take the fourth Jade Royal Pill to relieve the pain and increase his body refining realm.
"It would be better if it was a little more painful …"
He frowned and endured the pain while sighing.
If these words were heard by the sects that cultivated the Colossal Bone Secret Arts, they would definitely vomit blood. Which cultivator of the Colossal Bone Secret Arts didn't consume a lot of numbing spiritual herbs to block the pain? Ning Fan was the first one to do so.
After a month, Ning Fan completed the Vein Burning Technique. He broke through the nine realms of the first level and officially entered the first realm of the second level.
This realm was enough for him to grow his body to three zhang tall. But this was not enough …
The second level of the cultivation technique was called Bone Forging. This step required the cultivator to convert the magical power in his body into flames and burn his bones.
Gold Core cultivators could condense their Gold Core and turn their magical power into Dan Fire to forge their bones. Harmonious Spirit cultivators could turn their magical power into fire if they were Fire Vein cultivators.
Other than that, other cultivators could only devour the spiritual fire from the outside world and absorb it into their body to slowly burn their bones to achieve the goal of cultivation.
It could be said that the more intense the burning, the faster the cultivation would be. Ordinary cultivators would need a year to several years to advance a realm. Gold Core cultivators and Fire Spirit cultivators would need at least half a year.
But Ning Fan possessed the Black Demon Flame. His speed of burning his bones was ten times faster than Gold Core cultivators. After all, there was no other Gold Core cultivator in this world who could obtain an Earth Vein Demonic Flame to temper his bones.
The pain of the Black Demon Flame was more painful than the Vein Burning Technique, but it was not enough to help him consume the Jade Royal Dan.
This made Ning Fan feel pity again. He endured the pain and began to cultivate the second level of the cultivation technique.
Two months later, he had reached the peak of the ninth realm of the second level of the Colossal Bone Secret Arts. He could transform into a nine zhang giant. Once he broke through the third level, he could transform into a ten zhang giant!
However, the breakthrough of the third level and the subsequent cultivation would require the assistance of a special pill. The Third Revolution Pill was called Burning Blood Pill. It wasn't difficult to concoct this pill, but Ning Fans lacked something like this.
There were only three levels in the Colossal Bone Secret Arts. If he could obtain the Burning Blood Pill and concoct the pill, he could completely cultivate this cultivation technique and become a hundred zhang giant.
A hundred zhang giant was just like the terrifying giant that Bone Emperor had when he annihilated the Hu Clan!
The hundred zhang giant was just a drop in the ocean of Bone Emperor's Fiendgod Body Refining Technique, but it seemed to be the limit of the Colossal Bone Secret Arts. An ordinary body refining technique was still not enough for his Immemorial Devil Vein. If there was a chance, he would need to obtain the body refining technique of the Immemorial Fiendgod. Only then would he be able to reach the level of Void Fragmentation old monsters.
After dispersing the giant image, Ning Fan kept the Colossal Bone Secret Arts. He flipped his hand and took out another cultivation technique – Sword Finger.
Although this technique was incomplete, it should be more powerful than Bone Emperor's White Bone Giant Body. After all, this technique was left behind by the Sword Ancestor.
The Sword Qi left by that woman in the scabbard was enough to block Moksha Emperor's thousand zhang giant finger.
That woman used an ordinary long sword to slay all the Fiendgods.
If I break my sword, there will be no martial arts in the world. She was an arrogant woman, but also very powerful.
If Ning Fan could successfully cultivate the Sword Finger, he would certainly be able to grasp a powerful trump card. However, the requirement for cultivating the Sword Finger was too harsh. It required a thousand li of earth vein and spirit vein to cultivate the first finger. Once the finger was successfully cultivated, the thousand li of spirit vein would be destroyed!
Only Nascent Soul Sects in Intermediate Cultivation Countries would have that kind of earth vein. The earth vein and spirit vein were the foundation of the Nascent Soul Sects. It was what all the disciples of the sects relied on for cultivation. It was impossible for Ning Fan to devour it.
As such, he could only wait until he encountered a powerful spirit vein and act according to the situation.
Three months had passed. The trip to Song Country seemed to have come to an end.
The ship stopped at the border of Song Country.
One more step and they would leave Song Country for Zheng Country. However, Suqiu requested to disembark from the ship at this moment.
"I'm sorry. I still can't stand by and do nothing. I have my own Dao. But I know that you are not wrong because you have your own Dao. Our Dao is different. Why don't we work together?"
Suqiu gave Ning Fan a fairy-like smile for the last time and returned to Song Country.
Ning Fan sighed with emotion, but he wasn't too surprised.
If this woman could stand by and do nothing, then she wouldn't be her.
She was a troublesome woman, but worthy of respect.
"Revered Ning, what should we do now? It's not appropriate to leave Suqiu Xianzi alone." Jing Zhuo was hesitant. He knew that Ning Fan needed time and didn't want to waste it in Song Country. However, it's not appropriate to leave Suqiu in danger alone. It's not appropriate.
"She's right. I have my own Dao. If I watch her die, my Dao will shatter and my heart will die. Fellow Daoist Jing Zhuo, you don't have to show up this time. Just stay here and protect the girls on the ship. Don't let Red Flower Old Demon sneak attack them. I'll be back soon. It shouldn't take too long."
Killing intent flashed in Ning Fan's eyes.
He had promised Suqiu that he would protect her. He couldn't stand by and do nothing.
The reason why he cultivated the Colossal Bone Secret Arts was to put it to good use when Suqiu was alone.
If the old demon was a man, Ning Fan could use the Colossal Bone Secret Arts to mediate and save Suqiu.
