In this place, the Evil Dao had almost crushed the Righteous Dao, and the Evil Dao was constantly killing each other.
It wasn't strange to see ruins of sects on the ship. The only thing that made Ning Fan sigh was the countless tombs in the green mountains and clear waters.
Zheng Country was in chaos due to the addition of demons. Many cultivators died every day, but there would always be people who would erect tombs for them.
This was the tradition of Zheng Country's cultivators. If they had the strength to spare, they would erect tombs for dead cultivators.
Yin Suqiu didn't like the atmosphere of Zheng Country. She hated the scene of constant fighting. However, Ning Fan's gaze was fixed on the tombs.
No one knew if the person buried in the tombs was a man or a woman.
No one knew if the person buried in the tombs was a Vein Opening junior or a Gold Core old monster.
Everything they pursued in their lives would be after death. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
Zheng Country might be in chaos, but this tradition made Ning Fan sigh with emotion and envy.
While they were alive, they would erect tombs for them after death. The cultivators of Yue Country and Song Country couldn't compare to this kind of open-mindedness.
Therefore, in Ning Fan's eyes, each of the desolate tombs became a wonderful scenery. His state of mind was faintly improved.
Once you enter the cultivation world, you wouldn't know when you would die. Even if you were a high and mighty Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, you might encounter an extremely powerful Spirit Severing old devil and die unknowingly.
Who wouldn't die in this world? But what was harder than death was having someone erect a tomb for you after death.
If the flowers die, I'll bury them. If I die, who will bury them?
"What can you see from these tombs? Are you planning to dig them up?" Yin Suqiu looked at Ning Fan with a strange gaze.
"Am I really that prejudiced against you?" Ning Fan felt helpless. He closed his eyes and said solemnly.
"Relatives may still grieve, but others have already sung. What's the point of dying? Let's just leave our bodies to the mountains … Zheng Country has the Great Dao of Life and Death, but this Dao is beyond my understanding. I can't comprehend it … but the desolation and loneliness of this mountain is very beneficial to me …"
Ning Fan's words made Yin Suqiu ponder. Ning Fan was unfamiliar and unreachable to her.
Yin Suqiu stood between the Righteous Dao and Evil Dao. She was already quite conceited. But what Ning Fan saw was the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.
He cultivated in the day, listened to the flute in the evening, and looked at the grave at night.
After comprehending the demon blood, Ning Fan had learned all five hundred types of minor demonic techniques. Starting from the simplest Fire Sense Technique, he began to cultivate diligently.
The sound of the flute in the evening calmed his Heart Devil.
Under the dim light of the night, the desolate graves made Ning Fans Divine Intent of Rain even more lonely.
Four and a half months of travel in Zheng.
During this journey, the most noteworthy thing was Ning Fans improvement in demonic arts.
Five hundred kinds of little yao arts, such as Fire Spirit Art, Water Spirit Art, and other five elemental spirit arts. There were also slightly more complex Ice Spirit Art and Melting Spirit Art. There was also the extremely practical Blood Reading Technique, as well as the most commonly used Possession Technique by demons and ghosts.
They were called little yao arts, but each yao art had a high requirement. The lowest grade was ling level.
Psychic power was already difficult to learn, and demons would only be faced with a choice when they reached the Golden Elixir realm, to transform into a human, or to retain their demon bodies. Of course, the True Spirit Fey Race had powerful bloodlines, so they could have both. But for the ordinary Fey Race, they had to make a choice.
As for the Fey Race that could transform into a human, they had to be at least at the Golden Elixir realm. This was the initiation period for them to learn little yao arts.
These little yao arts were complicated and simple. Their power was not comparable to Core or Nascent Spirit Arts, but each and every one of them was not to be underestimated. Every little yao art was passed down by an ancient demon.
Among them, there was the principle of turning complexity into simplicity.
Demonic arts focused on the speed of hand seals, which was different from magical arts. Only when one was not proficient in using magical arts, would he need to make hand seals. Once he reached the proficient level, he could release magical arts with a flick of his fingers. But there was an essential difference between demonic arts and magical arts.
Magical arts were used by a cultivator to transform the magical power in his body into offense and defense.
Demonic arts, on the other hand, were used by the Fey Race to connect the Heaven and Earth, borrowing the magical power of the Heaven and Earth. And the link between the Fey Race and the Heaven and Earth was finger seals!
In the beginning, Ning Fan's hand seals were extremely slow. He would need ten breaths of time to cast one of the simplest Fire Spirit Art.
But as time went by, Ning Fan's hand seals became more and more proficient. From ten breaths of time to three breaths of time to one breath of time.
He would stand in the morning breeze with his eyes slightly closed while his hand seals were changing rapidly.
Even the simplest Fire Spirit Art required more than ten finger seals. But Ning Fan could complete it in just a breath of time.
His finger shadows were so fast that Suqiu was speechless. She was afraid that he was the fastest cultivator she had ever seen in her life.
When the finger shadows were faster, Ning Fan felt that his connection with the Heaven and Earth was getting closer.
The reason why he cultivated demonic arts in the beginning was to cultivate both the Divine, Demon and Devil Arts at the same time. His magical power had reached a bottleneck and his body refining technique could not break through the third level of the Colossal Bone Secret Arts. But it was a good time for him to cultivate demonic arts and increase his demonic power. Although his magical power could not be increased, the demonic power that he cultivated would obviously increase the quality of his magical power after fusing with his magical power. It was much richer than other cultivators of the same realm. The power of the magical arts he cast would also be stronger.
But what Ning Fan cared about the most was that cultivating demonic arts might not be as simple as increasing his demonic power. The feeling of becoming one with the Heaven and Earth was too mysterious.
Rumor has it that the Immortal Emperor of one billion worlds was a peerless demon.
Among the Four Heavens and Nine Worlds created by the Immortal Emperor, demonic arts were undoubtedly closer to the Heaven and Earth.
As time passed, Ning Fan was undergoing a transformation.
He began to cultivate the Camellia Scripture. Although he had the Winged Demon Bloodline, his demonic power had not yet stabilized.
He possessed ice and fire magical power and a lightning star was condensed on his glabella. Unknowingly, he already possessed the three elements of water, fire and metal. It would not be an exaggeration to call him a Three Spirit Cultivator.
Since he cultivated demonic arts, he was not willing to cultivate the three elements of water, fire and metal. Instead, he wanted to choose between wood and earth.
Metal, wood, water, fire and earth. He had already mastered three of the five elements. The Camellia Scripture was a wood spirit demonic art. By cultivating this art, Ning Fan would possess four spirits and be comparable to a Four Spirit Cultivator!
Four spirits … Those who could master the four elements were all cultivators above the Nascent Soul Realm without exception.
The hardest part of forming a Nascent Soul for ordinary people was to comprehend the five elements and condense the five spirits. They had to condense the Void Veins of the other four elements above their own veins and combine them into one to form a Nascent Soul.
By cultivating the Camellia Scripture, Ning Fan would possess four spirits. If he could find an earth attribute evil art that was more powerful than the Colossal Bone Secret Arts, he would certainly be able to cultivate the last element, the earth element!
In this way, he would possess all five elements and form a Nascent Soul. He would need at least a hundred years less to comprehend the Heavenly Dao compared to ordinary cultivators! After forming the core, it might not take too long to form a Nascent Soul.
This thought was deeply rooted in Ning Fan's mind after he learned about the power of the Yin Yang Devil Veins.
The Colossal Bone Secret Arts was a fire attribute body refining art. If he wanted to change to a stronger earth attribute body refining art, Corpse Devil Transformation, would that be great?
Only by burying a corpse in the ground would one know the power of earth. In this way, he would possess all five elements!
Previously, he regretted that he couldn't cultivate the Corpse Devil Transformation because he couldn't condense the corpse vein.
But now, he only needed enough corpse qi to fuse with the Yin Yang Devil Veins. Then, he would be able to attach the corpse vein ability to the Yin Yang Devil Veins.
Thus, when he was in Zheng, he was also looking for graves.
Unfortunately, none of the graves in Zheng Country contained a Nascent Soul cultivator. The corpse qi was not enough to activate the corpse vein ability.
This made Ning Fan sigh slightly. Perhaps, he could only wait until he formed his core in the Endless Sea and seek for a Nascent Soul Body to absorb the corpse qi there.
Demonic art, corpse art … Ning Fan himself didn't know whether he would become a demon or a corpse devil in the future. Would he bare his fangs and brandish his claws, or would his body rot like the black corpse.
He didn't care about any of these. He only cared about strength.
It had been nine months since he left Ning City. The Seven Apricot Voyage Ship crossed the border and sailed into Wei Country.
There were many Zen cultivators and temples in Wei Country.
What surprised Ning Fan the most was that he finally knew the reason why so many low-ranked cultivation countries were plagued by demons.
"So it's Fellow Daoist Zhou Ming. I'm sorry for not recognizing you … Fellow Daoist, don't you know that Great Jin is currently facing waves of demons? A hundred thousand demon soldiers are wreaking havoc in Great Jin? Why must Fellow Daoist enter Great Jin at this time?" An early Gold Core cultivator on the Seven Apricot Voyage Ship said to Zhou Ming.
This Zen cultivator wore a green kasaya and held a Buddhist staff in his hand. He was eight feet tall, but he was as thin as a monkey and had a monkey face.
He addressed Ning Fan as Zhou Ming because Ning Fan had been using a fake name ever since he entered Wei Country.
Now that he was far away from Yue Country, he might offend those ancient sects and ruthless people in the Endless Sea in order to cultivate. That was why he couldn't use his real name.
As for this Zen cultivator, he was saved by the ship when it passed by a hill in Wei Country. En, it was by chance. The one who saved him was Yin Suqiu. Since Yin Suqiu had taken action, Ning Fan couldn't ignore her.
The demon chaos in Wei Country was beyond Ning Fan's imagination. Not only were there Gold Core Realm demons, but there were also Nascent Soul Realm demons.
However, Wei Country was adjacent to Great Jin. It had received help from the experts of the Rain Palace's branch palace. There were also a few Nascent Soul Realm cultivators of the Rain Palace chasing after the Nascent Soul Realm demons in Wei Country.
This Early Gold Core Realm Zen cultivator brought along a group of young monks to deliver something back to his sect. However, they were besieged by a group of demons on their way back. There were three Gold Core Realm demons among them.
The young monks under him were all dead. He was the only one who managed to survive and was saved by Yin Suqiu.
This Zen cultivator was somewhat thick-skinned. Once he was saved, he immediately stayed on the Seven Apricot Voyage Ship. He could see that there were old ancestors like Yin Suqiu and Jing Zhuo here, so he begged Yin Suqiu to 'bring' him back to his sect.
His name was Hou Lian. However, Ning Fan felt that this Zen cultivator was not called thick-skinned?
His disciple was dead, but he was still alive and he still had the nerve to smile.
He hugged the thigh he saw and was as timid as a mouse … How could it not be thick-skinned?
Or, why not call him monkey-faced? Who asked Hou Lian to have monkey-like eyebrows?
Hou Lian didn't know that he had been labeled as a thick-skinned and shameless person by Ning Fan. He kept telling Ning Fan about the drastic changes in Wei Country.
After knowing the situation of Wei Country and understanding a little about Great Jin, Ning Fan couldn't help but frown.
He wanted to come to Great Jin and borrow the teleportation formation to go to the Endless Sea. However, there was a demon tide in Great Jin and the demon soldiers were in chaos …
Demon soldiers … It was very difficult for the demon race to unify unless there was a general. Since there were demon soldiers, there must be a general. Could that general be the crimson-scaled man … Li Ban?
If that's the case, would there be a problem if he brought the Flower Demon into Great Jin?
He must go to Great Jin. As for the Flower Demon … If he brought the Flower Demon with him, the Demon General might know that he must not keep the Flower Demon. He would rather abandon the cauldron and kill it in Wei Country for peace.
While Ning Fan was hesitating, a dark demonic wind came from the clear sky and approached the Seven Apricot Voyage Ship from the front.
There were more than ten demons. Among them, there were four Gold Core experts and one of them was even a Late Gold Core expert!
Hou Lian's expression changed drastically!
They are here!
Could it be because of the All-Heaven Relic?
