Ning Fan pushed the stone door open and the divine intent within it began to dissipate.
The divine intent contained too much helplessness and unwillingness. It was most likely left behind by the Founding Ancestor when he passed away. However, because of the formation light, it had been passed down to this day and dissipated when the stone door was opened.
Is this the sorrow of a peak Spirit Severing expert?
Ning Fan stood in the divine intent for a long time. When the divine intent completely dissipated, he withdrew his gaze and started to collect the treasures.
The pond of Burning Blood was kept in the Cauldron Ring and the storage pouch was picked up by Ning Fan.
The storage pouch was sealed with the Ten Thousand Words Incantation.
Ning Fan could break the Ten Thousand Words Incantation with the Eastern Ocean Bell, but he was concerned about why there was a seal in the storage pouch.
Powerful cultivators would leave a spirit sense imprint on the storage pouch to prevent the storage pouch from being stolen by low level cultivators.
However, this imprint would dissipate along with the death of the cultivator.
The seal in front of him was specially sealed with the power of the Ten Thousand Words Incantation in order to prevent it from dissipating after death. This room was left behind by the Founding Ancestor as a gift for his descendants. Otherwise, he wouldn't need to strengthen the stone room with the formation power to prevent the spirituality of the Burning Blood from dissipating and the storage pouch from turning into ashes.
Leaving it for his descendants and planting a seal meant that the seal wasn't aimed at the cultivator who picked up the storage pouch but the item inside …
With a thought, Ning Fan was startled. The storage pouch was slightly trembling. There was something inside!
What's inside? Ning Fan scolded.
Oh? A mere Harmonious Spirit cultivator actually discovered the existence of a Rogue Devil! Hehe, quickly let me out. I've been trapped here for too long, too long!
Rogue Devil?!
Ning Fan was secretly shocked.
The so-called Rogue Devil was a powerful devil at the ninth layer of the Void Fragmentation realm, similar to Rogue Immortals. Rogue Immortals were those who failed the True Immortal Tribulation while Rogue Devils were those who failed the Heavenly Devil Tribulation.
Even though a Rogue Devil couldn't become a Heavenly Devil, its strength wouldn't be something that a ninth layer Void Fragmentation realm cultivator could resist. Rumor has it that when a Rogue Devil cultivates to the extreme, it would have a second chance to become a Heavenly Devil …
To think that a rogue fiend would be sealed within the storage bag!
However, if there really was a Scattered Demon sealed inside, it would have died long ago. The Wei Founding Ancestor's lifespan was long enough for the Scattered Demon to run out and die dozens of times.
Then, this scattered demon shouldn't have formed when he sealed the storage bag.
Most of the time it had gained sentience was within tens of thousands of years.
The time it took to cultivate was probably close to a thousand years.
Only in this way could he not die.
He didn't know what this scattered devil's true form was, but it was very likely that it was a seal that the Wei Dynasty's founding ancestor had placed in his bag of holding. Over time, it had gradually gained sentience.
If an Artifact Spirit Dharma treasure was abandoned for too long, it could turn into a demon.
A Fifth Revolution Pill could turn into a Pill Devil by chance.
Even corpses could become Corpse Demons.
Let's not talk about the species of this devil for now.
If this devil was really a loose devil, then why couldn't he escape the seal of a mere storage pouch? That was something worth discussing.
Did this loose devil gain sentience on its own and mutate into a devil? Or was it the result of the Wei Dynasty's founding ancestor's nurturing?
Ning Fan's eyes turned cold. He suddenly realized that the magical treasure in his dantian, the All-Heaven Relic, had a faint connection with the loose devil in the storage bag.
Ning Fan's eyes flashed when he sensed the dense pill fragrance coming from the devil's body.
In an instant, he had figured out all the mysteries!
For the first time, he deeply admired the Wei Dynasty's Founding Ancestor's amazing talent!
The Wei Dynasty's Founding Ancestor purposely nurtured a devil!
Judging from the pill fragrance, this devil was actually a Pill Devil!
The Wei Dynasty's Founding Ancestor must have prepared a Fifth Revolution Pill in advance and planted a Devil Raising Talisman in it.
Just like the talisman in the body of the little Pill Devil Bright Sparrow that was destroyed by Ning Fan.
The Wei Dynasty's Founding Ancestor existed even longer than the mysterious True Immortal who raised Bright Sparrow. It should be during the establishment of the Rain World.
Before his death, he cared about the safety of the country of Wei, so he decided to raise a Pill Devil for his descendants. The Devil Raising Talisman that he left in the body of the Pill Devil was different from that of the mysterious True Immortal.
The mysterious True Immortal nurtured the pills in the Dark Sparrow's Grave and left a talisman that recognized the owner of the pill. He wanted to raise the little Pill Devil like Bright Sparrow as a pill. When the pill was completed, he would destroy the devil soul in Bright Sparrow's body and obtain a Ninth Revolution or higher grade pill.
However, the Wei Dynasty's Founding Ancestor was different. He planted the Devil Raising Talisman, but there were some changes to it.
The talisman had a disadvantage. Once the talisman was planted, the pill would become invalid.
However, there was an advantage. After the talisman was planted, the pill devil would gain sentience and become a devil after tens of thousands of years. Whenever the devil's cultivation base improved, the power of the talisman would increase along with the devil's cultivation base. As a result, even if the devil became a Loose Devil or a Heavenly Devil, it would never be able to break the talisman with its own means. It could only become the devil pet of the devil cultivator, obeying the devil cultivator's orders and becoming a hired thug.
The Wei Dynasty's Founding Ancestor raised a Loose Devil by chance.
When he finally managed to raise the devil, he couldn't control it and died tens of thousands of years before the devil gained sentience.
It was feasible for a True Immortal to raise a devil.
However, for cultivators in the seventh realm who had yet to become immortals, it was like a mirage.
In ancient times, many cultivators raised demons. However, those who could raise demons and successfully control them were at least Perfected Immortals.
Here were the three major problems of raising a devil.
First, the probability of raising a devil was too small. It was like killing a cultivator and obtaining the Dao Fruit. It was purely a matter of luck.
Some people succeeded after raising a devil. Some people might not even be able to become a devil after consuming one hundred Fifth Revolution Pills.
There were three factors that could influence a pill to become a devil. The first was the grade of the pill, the second was the terrain, and the third was the Devil Raising Array.
It wasn't that the higher the grade of the pill, the higher the probability of becoming a devil. On the contrary, if the grade of the pill was too high, it wouldn't have any sentience and wouldn't be able to become a devil. If the grade of the pill was too low, it wouldn't have enough spirituality and wouldn't be able to become a devil. The Fifth Revolution was the best grade to raise a pill devil.
As for the terrain, the Hill of the Founding Ancestor was more prone to devils than the Dark Sparrow's Grave. However, the Dark Sparrow's Grave had a special use for the remains of the Immemorial Dark Sparrow, which was chosen by the mysterious True Immortal.
As for the Devil Raising Array, the grand formation laid by the Wei Dynasty's Founding Ancestor was at the Mortal Void Realm, while the one in the Dark Sparrow's Grave was at the Immortal Void Realm, which was slightly better than the one here.
The rate of forming a pill devil was low. Therefore, in order to raise a pill devil, one had to use a large number of Fifth Revolution Pills.
A True Immortal could produce a large number of Fifth Revolution Pills, but it wasn't easy for cultivators in the seventh realm.
The second problem was that the time needed to raise a devil was too long!
For example, for a pill devil, it would take tens of thousands of years to turn into a devil. A True Immortal had an endless lifespan and could wait. Ordinary cultivators, even Void Fragmentation Realm experts, could only live for tens of thousands of years. Before a pill devil could take shape, the devil cultivator would turn into a pile of soil and die.
Even if that cultivator succeeded in becoming an immortal during the hundreds of thousands of years that he had been waiting for the devil head to take shape, the devil head that he raised had just become a devil. If he started cultivating now, it would take tens of thousands of years before he could reach the Void Fragmentation Realm. Without a Void Fragmentation Realm devil, what was the use of a True Immortal?
The third problem was the Devil Raising Talisman itself.
Some ancient cultivators had yet to become immortals, but they also raised devils for their descendants to use after hundreds of thousands of years.
With the help of the talisman, the devil cultivator could only control a devil that was one realm higher than his or her own.
If a Void Fragmentation Realm expert raised a rogue devil, his or her descendants could control the devil with their Void Refinement Realm cultivation base to protect the clan from decline.
However, the talisman would gradually weaken with the passage of time, and its control over the devil would become weaker and weaker.
However, the strength of the devil would become stronger and stronger as time passed.
In ancient times, many cultivators raised devil protectors. However, when the talisman weakened and the clan head's cultivation base wasn't strong enough to control the devil, the devil would break free from the talisman and counterattack, destroying the entire Xiu Clan!
To a certain extent, raising a devil had its own risks.
You would never know when the devil would break free from the talisman, and you wouldn't be able to grasp when to eliminate the devil before the talisman weakened to prevent future troubles.
Only True Immortals could completely ignore the three problems. Those who raised devils were usually True Immortals.
On the other hand, when a True Immortal raised a devil, the cultivation time of the devil wouldn't be as long as the True Immortal, and its strength would be far weaker than the True Immortal. As such, a devil wouldn't be useful in a battle between True Immortals. Usually, thousands of devils would be raised to form a battle guard to hurt a True Immortal of the same realm.
This was all that Ning Fan had learned from the memories he had gathered.
However, the Devil Raising Talisman that was arranged by the Founding Ancestor of Wei made him understand what it meant to be a genius.
The Founding Ancestor of Wei was an outstanding man, a man who was more outstanding than countless True Immortals!
The Devil Raising Talisman that was modified by him completely eliminated the drawback of the talisman weakening.
This was because the talisman was connected to the relic in his body by the Founding Ancestor!
As long as the relic wasn't destroyed, the Rogue Devil would never be able to break the talisman with its own strength. Moreover, the Rogue Devil wouldn't be able to break the talisman that was set up with the power of the relic.
If it dared to resist, it would be devoured by the talisman and die for sure!
Perhaps the reason why the Founding Ancestor raised the devil was because he predicted that Ning Fan would become a True Immortal one day.
It was also possible that the Founding Ancestor kept the devil because he knew that Ning Fan wouldn't be leaving this world for long.
No matter what the reason was, the Founding Ancestor was able to come up with the Relic Controlling Talisman to keep a Rogue Devil for the future generations of Wei. In terms of intelligence, many True Immortals couldn't compare to him.
There was nothing strange about this. If the Founding Ancestor had broken through the bottleneck of the Peak Spirit Severing Realm and become a Void Refinement Realm cultivator, he might have already become a True Immortal. His intelligence wasn't weak, but it was hard to defy the Heaven's Will … The Heaven's Will was destined for such a talented man to die at the bottleneck of the Peak Spirit Severing Realm.
That was why the Wei Founding Ancestor was so unwilling to accept it in the secret chamber where he died …
He was unwilling. With his talent, he would definitely be an influential figure if he could become an Immortal … Unfortunately, the Heaven's Will was too heartless.
Ning Fan sighed slightly. This was the reality of the cultivation world.
It didn't mean that one could become an Immortal with great talent. There was also the existence of 'opportunity'.
Wasn't it the same in the mortal world? It didn't mean that one could become famous with great talent. Among them, there was a 'hidden' existence.
The Heaven's Will didn't allow the Founding Ancestor to break through to the Void Refinement Realm, but it allowed him to successfully raise a devil.
It allowed him to leave a Rogue Devil for Wei Country.
However, the Founding Ancestor probably didn't expect that after his death, Wei Country would decline to become a low-grade cultivation country. There was no Spirit Severing Realm cultivator in the country who could break the formation light of the Founding Ancestor's Desolate Hill and obtain the inheritance.
He also didn't expect that the devil he raised had become a Rogue Devil after countless years. Even if one obtained the All-Heaven Relic and could control the Rogue Devil, one would need to have at least Early Void Refinement Realm magic power.
What he didn't expect was that the one who broke his formation light and obtained the Pill Devil was a foreign cultivator.
Somehow, the All-Heaven Relic was discovered by a novice monk and fell into the hands of Hou Lian. Then, it was fought over by the demon race and eventually fell into Ning Fan's hands.
The fourth layer of formation light of the Founding Ancestor's Desolate Hill was broken because Ning Fan had the Eastern Ocean Bell.
In the end, not only did Ning Fan obtain the relic, but he also obtained the storage pouch that contained the Pill Devil.
The Founding Ancestor didn't leave behind any magical treasures but a Rogue Devil that could overturn the structure of the Nine Worlds!
This Rogue Devil was ranked top thirty among the experts of the Nine Worlds. It wouldn't be difficult for it to kill Moksha Sovereign!
"In order to control this devil with the All-Heaven Relic, I only need to reach Early Void Refinement Realm in a hundred years … In other words, as long as my magic power reaches Early Void Refinement Realm, I can use this devil to dominate the Nine Worlds and kill Moksha Sovereign to avenge my master!"
Ning Fan's eyes shone brightly!
Void Fragmentation Realm in a hundred years was difficult!
Was it difficult to reach Void Refinement Realm in a hundred years?!
He didn't even need to reach Early Void Refinement Realm. He was afraid that when he reached Peak Spirit Severing Realm, he would have the strength comparable to a Void Refinement Realm cultivator. Then, he would be able to control this devil and fight against Moksha Sovereign!
Peak Spirit Severing Realm in a hundred years … This goal was more realistic than Void Fragmentation Realm and Ning Fan was confident that he could achieve it!
He closed his eyes and calmed his mind.
To him, this opportunity for revenge was far more important than dominating the Nine Worlds …
This opportunity was given to him by the brilliant Founding Ancestor of Wei.
This Devil Raising Talisman was unprecedented … There were countless Zen cultivators in the world but how many of them could come up with a talisman that could control a devil with a relic?
Just like in the demon race, there were only five hundred ancient demons who could comprehend and simplify the complicated demonic techniques and create Spirit Realm demonic techniques in the long river of time.
In the storage pouch, the Rogue Devil sneered and threatened Ning Fan with his strong cultivation base.
"Hehe. Little cultivator, this Rogue Devil advises you to let me go as soon as possible. Otherwise, when this old man's talisman dissipates and I break the seal, you will be the first to die!"
"Oh? Is that so? Now, I have a bad news for you … Your talisman will never dissipate because the relic that controls it is in my hands! Just stay in the storage pouch obediently and wait for the day I break through to the Peak Spirit Severing Realm. Then, you will become my devil! "
Ning Fan activated the All-Heaven Relic with all his might. Immediately, the rogue devil began to wail in agony under the tug of the relic.
Ning Fan's magic power was far from enough to control and kill this devil with the talisman. However, he could still make it suffer.
At this moment, the Rogue Devil was stunned and panicked. He started to cry and curse!
"Impossible! This is impossible! How can my talisman be controlled by you?! Argh! I will kill you! I will kill you! "
The Rogue Devil thought that the talisman would dissipate soon after tens of thousands of years of cultivation. He never thought that the talisman would not dissipate at all unless the relic was destroyed!
At this moment, he was afraid …
He was afraid that if Ning Fan really had enough magic power to control him, he would no longer be free …
A dignified Rogue Devil, an invincible existence among the Void Fragmentation Realm, was raised as a devil pet by a brat. Damn it! Damn it!
However, no matter how he cursed, Ning Fan would not let this devil go.
Raising a devil had nothing to do with good or evil.
This devil and Bright Sparrow were both Pill Devils. However, their meanings to Ning Fan were different. The former was just a hired thug while the latter was a little girl that he had a good impression of. She was someone close to him.
He was angry at the True Immortal who raised Bright Sparrow, but he was grateful to the Founding Ancestor who raised the Rogue Devil.
Ning Fan threw the storage pouch that contained the Rogue Devil into the most secretive red misty space in the Cauldron Ring. He looked at the cattail hassock where the Founding Ancestor of Wei had passed away, the robe that was left behind and the ashes on the ground.
It was Wei's Founding Ancestor who gave Ning Fan the chance to kill Moksha Sovereign.
He kept the robe, ashes and futon that were left behind by the Founding Ancestor and buried them in the stone chamber.
Suddenly, he recalled the Wordless Heavenly Book. He did not engrave the Founding Ancestor's name on the tombstone but left four words.
Sending the Sovereign to Death!
The name was too ordinary, but the person who was buried was a genius that shocked the world … Engraving a name that was forgotten by others would only make others look down on the person in the tomb.
This was the profound meaning of sending the Sovereign to Death … Ning Fan did not know that his current state of mind was exactly the same as the expert who wrote these four words.
That year, the Immortal Sovereign wore a purple robe and buried his good friend who no one knew his name.
Because no one knew his good friend's life, it was meaningless to write his name on the tomb.
He only wrote four words … Sending the Sovereign to Death.
The words were so domineering that the Immortals and Buddhas were shocked. It let people know that these words were written by the Immortal Sovereign for his good friend's funeral.
He did not need people to know the name of the person who was buried. He only needed to let people know that the person who was buried was once a genius that shocked the world! He was just teased and rejected by fate, but no one knew about it.
Today, these four words reappeared on the tombstone after countless generations.
The Founding Ancestor's name was not engraved on the tombstone, but it was engraved in the heart of the person who wrote it … Ning Fan decided to engrave this karma in his heart. In return, he would fulfill the last wish of the Founding Ancestor – to protect the peace of Wei Country while he was still alive.
Ning Fan's state of mind was filled with battle intent!
For the first time, he saw the hope of defeating Moksha Sovereign!
As long as he reached the Peak Spirit Severing Realm!
