The black clouds dispersed, revealing an old man in black robes.
His hair was as white as silver and he was bony. However, his body carried a heavy aura. It was not sharp but it was as heavy as a mountain. It was as if he could shatter the heavens and the earth with just a punch or a finger.
His old eyes that were supposed to be cloudy were as sharp as an eagle's.
On his glabella, half an illusory black star shone faintly!
Just by standing there, he had a kind of natural Dao Aura!
A trace of magnetic force caused the magnetic force in the deep sea mine to become chaotic. That magnetic force pierced into Ning Fan's Sea of Consciousness. Even if it was not intentional, it still caused his spirit sense to feel a slight pain.
Early Divine Transformation Realm … Xu Rushan!
Ning Fan's expression was as calm as still water. This person gave him an extremely strong sense of pressure. It was as if the person standing in front of him was not a person but a mountain!
The power that pierced his spirit sense was clearly the magnetic force. It was extremely extraordinary.
It was because the half black star on his glabella was extremely similar to the Immemorial Devil Star!
This person did not possess the Immemorial Divine Devil Veins but he had condensed half of the Immemorial Devil Star. Even if it was just half, it was enough to prove that this person was extremely talented!
Ning Fan pondered about the purpose of this person's visit without any fear.
This Xu Rushan was indeed powerful. His strength alone was enough to defeat all Nascent Soul Realm cultivators in the External Endless Sea. In terms of aura force, he was much stronger than the inanimate Stone Warrior.
Of course, this person's strength should be on par with the Stone Warrior. His aura force was still external and his strength was still weaker than the female corpse. Even if Ning Fan fought him alone with the help of the Yuan Yao World, he had a thirty percent chance of killing this person. Of course, the probability of dying in his hands was not low either … A Nascent Soul Realm cultivator against a Divine Transformation Realm cultivator would either win or die … Thirty percent chance of winning and seventy percent chance of dying!
Starting from the Late Nascent Soul Realm, every step forward would be a world of difference.
As for Xu Rushan, he was an existence that was one level higher than Ning Fan!
This person came to look for him with a strange attitude.
He asked for a favor and promised to give him fifty drops of Mother Earth Nether Milk.
With 500 units of magic power, Ning Fan could even try to break through the bottleneck of the Peak Nascent Soul Realm and truly step into the Grand Cultivation Realm.
As for this person who was a Divine Transformation Realm cultivator, if he did not know that Ning Fan was a Fifth Revolution Pill Master, then he must have come for the secret realm of the broken world.
Only the Secret Realm of the Broken World was worth it for him to use his Divine Transformation Realm cultivation base. It was because Divine Transformation Realm experts were not allowed to enter this secret realm. As the strongest expert below the Divine Transformation Realm, Ning Fan was the most reliable force he could rely on!
However, this Xu Rushan had been hiding here for quite a long time. He should have appeared when Su Yao and the others were in danger. After all, as one of the ten sects of the Outer Endless Sea, he wouldn't let the Biyao Sect Leader be humiliated in the Pleasure Devil Ocean.
However, Ning Fan's appearance had dispelled his original intention of saving them.
There were two reasons why he did not immediately help Ning Fan and the others to eliminate the enemies.
Firstly, it was to observe Ning Fan's strength to see if he had the qualifications to rope him in.
Secondly, he wanted to borrow Ning Fan's hands to kill someone. Because of this, Ning Fan had to bear the great enemy of the Black Buddha Sect!
After searching through the lotus' memories, Ning Fan found out that a certain Spirit Severing Realm old monster of the Black Buddha Sect would come to the Pleasure Devil Sea in a few days' time … It was for the so-called Spirit Severing Realm cauldron auction!
This matter was extremely secretive. Only sects like the Black Buddha Sect were qualified to know about it. Moreover, before Ning Fan came here, he did not even know about the existence of a good item like the Spirit Severing Realm cauldron. What he needed to pay attention to was that the Spirit Severing Realm expert of the Black Buddha Sect who came late would most likely come back to seek trouble after knowing that the experts of his sect had been killed.
Xu Rushan probably wanted to use the threat of the Black Buddha Sect to threaten him …
The so-called request of this person was actually just a form of coercion and temptation.
"Oh? Senior Xu has something to ask of me. May I know what it is? I would be happy to listen to it. "Ning Fan smiled and cupped his fists at Xu Rushan with a calm expression.
* Hiss *
Xu Rushan's expression remained the same. However, he secretly took a deep breath.
This Zhou Ming is really calm. Facing the pressure of my Spirit Severing Realm and the magnetic force, he is actually so calm.
One should know that other Peak Nascent Soul Realm experts could not even calm their minds when they are three thousand zhang * (3.33m per zhang) away from Xu Rushan!
However, this Zhou Ming was calm and composed when he was five hundred zhang * (500m per zhang) away from him.
Judging from this, the title of 'the strongest person below the Spirit Severing Realm' was indeed well-deserved.
The more Xu Rushan looked at Ning Fan, the more he felt incredulous.
From Ning Fan's body, he could sense demon blood, corpse qi, devil qi, sword qi and many other kinds of qi. From this, it seemed that this person had learned a lot of different things.
Among the different kinds of qi, there seemed to be a few that gave Xu Rushan a sense of danger.
In other words, the Ning Fan in front of him seemed to be harmless, but in reality, he could even hurt him if he went all out.
If that was the case, it was understandable that he was not afraid of Xu Rushan.
Xu Rushan's expression did not change. With a probing heart, he stepped on the air step by step, closing the distance between him and Ning Fan.
400 zhang * (3.33m per zhang), 300 zhang * (3.33m per zhang). When he was only three hundred zhang * (3.33m per zhang) away from Ning Fan, Xu Rushan stopped and his eyes turned cold!
Being so close to Ning Fan, his aura force fell on Ning Fan's body without any reservation. However, Ning Fan did not even bat an eyelid and still had a calm smile on his face.
On the contrary, the closer Xu Rushan got to Ning Fan, the stronger the sense of danger he felt!
Moreover, an absurd feeling rose in his heart. If he was ten zhang * (3.33m per zhang) closer to Ning Fan, he was afraid that his life would be in danger!
"Hiss! Not only does this man have the means to hurt me, but he also has the means to kill me! "
Xu Rushan slowly withdrew his aura force. His eyes were solemn.
At this moment, he no longer had a trace of arrogance towards Ning Fan. It was as if he was looking at someone of the same generation.
He cupped his fists at Ning Fan and replied.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, good composure! Good technique! "
Only Spirit Severing Realm cultivators could make him cupped his fists. Below Spirit Severing Realm, Ning Fan was the first one!
"Hehe. Senior Xu is too courteous. You haven't answered my question yet. May I know what is senior's request? Could it be related to the Secret Realm of the Broken World? "
"This is a secret. Fellow Daoist Zhou, please dismiss the irrelevant people first …" Xu Rushan glanced at the female corpse and shook his head.
This woman did not have any trace of magic power, but she could step on the air.
It was a little strange, but she was most likely Ning Fan's concubine. A mere woman should not listen to a man's discussion.
"She is not an outsider … I have already dismissed the outsiders." Ning Fan's smile did not diminish.
Su Yao and Yu Long who he had met a few times were outsiders, but the female corpse was not.
"If that's the case, I won't be shy anymore. Why don't you come to my Heavenly Dwelling Magical Treasure and have a chat? "
Xu Rushan took out a palm-sized golden house and gave it a pat. That golden house expanded in the wind.
He gestured for Ning Fan to enter, but Ning Fan shook his head.
"Let's talk here. If anyone tries to eavesdrop, just kill them!"
Xu Rushan's expression did not change. He chuckled and kept the golden house. His heart, however, was filled with astonishment for three times.
The first astonishment was that a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator like Ning Fan was not surprised to see a Heavenly Dwelling Magical Treasure. One should know that this treasure was not something that ordinary Spirit Severing Realm cultivators could possess. It was given to him by Venerable Giant.
The second astonishment was that Ning Fan had such a strong vigilance. He actually did not enter the Heavenly Dwelling Magical Treasure of others. Moreover, he seemed to have a deep understanding of the Heavenly Dwelling Magical Treasure and knew that it could be used to set up a formation to attack the enemy.
The third astonishment was that Ning Fan's words were filled with dense killing intent. He was a cultivator who had experienced the Blood Sea and was decisive in killing.
With such strength and temperament, he would most likely succeed if I entrust this matter to him.
Sigh … It seems like I can only entrust this matter to him. Otherwise, I won't be able to gather 200 Wild Beast Demon Cores even if I kill him … Venerable Giant is desperately urging me …
Xu Rushan and Ning Fan did not talk much. However, after probing, observing and analyzing Ning Fan's actions, he had a basic understanding of Ning Fan's character and strength.
He hesitated for a moment. Then, he patted his storage pouch and took out a dark golden jade slip.
There were three golden patterns carved on the jade slip. One of them had already been broken. This golden pattern was called 'Jade Slip Fragment Pattern'. It was used to prevent others from peeking into the jade slip. Not even Spirit Severing Realm cultivators could break this golden pattern.
Three golden patterns meant that this jade slip could only be read three times. After three times, the golden patterns were all gone and the jade slip was broken.
Since one of them had already been broken, it was naturally Xu Rushan who read it.
Other than Xu Rushan, no one else had read it before. It was enough to show how precious this jade slip was.
Moreover, Ning Fan could faintly smell a trace of devil qi from the jade slip. Just a trace of it was enough to cause Ning Fan's completely stabilized Nascent Soul to crumble!
The cultivator who carved this jade slip had such a strong devil qi!
At least in the Endless Outer Sea, Ning Fan had never seen any cultivator who had such terrifying devil qi.
He did not take the jade slip immediately. Instead, he shook his head. Obviously, he knew that this jade slip was related to a significant matter.
Once he read it, he would not be able to erase the responsibility regardless of whether he agreed to Xu Rushan's request or not.
"Senior, please tell me about this matter first. Otherwise, this matter is of great importance. I dare not be reckless!"
"Oh? Fellow Daoist being so cautious is enough to show that you are a person who can entrust important matters to me … * Sigh * To tell you the truth, this matter is indeed related to the Secret Realm of the Broken World. Speaking of which, it is just to hunt for the demon cores of Wild Beasts. But … * Sigh * The number of demon cores to be hunted is really a little … a little too big and the deadline is really too rushed … "
"Number? Deadline? " Ning Fan muttered to himself. If the matter that Xu Rushan asked him to do was to hunt for demon cores, there was no need for him to go through so much trouble. What kind of huge number would make Xu Rushan lose his composure like that?
"The Secret Realm of the Broken World opens once every fifty years. Every time it opens, forty people can enter and it can last for a year to allow cultivators to enter and hunt for demon cores. This time, due to the urgency of the situation, the secret realm is forced to open half a year in advance. Thus, the secret realm is not stable and it can only last for half a year … Within half a year, I must gather two hundred demon cores of Wild Beasts! If I may be so bold to ask, Fellow Daoist, are you confident in killing two hundred Wild Beasts within half a year?! "
"Half a year! Two hundred demon cores? Kill two hundred Wild Beasts! Senior Xu, you think too highly of me! "
Ning Fan's eyes finally flashed with a hint of surprise.
He did not expect that Xu Rushan would ask him to kill two hundred Wild Beasts within half a year. Doesn't this mean that once I enter the Secret Realm of the Broken World, I have to kill one Wild Beast that is comparable to a Divine Transformation Realm expert every day? I'm afraid it's still not enough …
Killing two hundred Divine Transformation Realm experts … If Ning Fan had such strength, he would have already slaughtered his way into the Internal Endless Sea and become a lord instead of entering the Secret Realm of the Broken World.
Ning Fan remained silent for a while and did not express his opinion. Xu Rushan, on the other hand, became a little anxious.
He had finally witnessed Ning Fan's strength. He could even give him a sense of danger. It was definitely not an exaggeration to say that Ning Fan was the strongest person below the Divine Transformation Realm!
Ordinary Peak Nascent Soul cultivators who could kill a Wild Beast before entering the secret realm were all experts. In the past, Xu Rushan could only purchase around ten demon cores from tens of Peak Nascent Soul cultivators every time the secret realm was opened.
However, this time, he must obtain two hundred demon cores in one go. Otherwise, he would lose his life!
Other than asking for Ning Fan's help, he really did not place any hope on anyone else. The other Peak Nascent Soul cultivators, including the descendants of the seven venerated beings of the internal sea, were not as strong as Ning Fan.
As a Divine Transformation Realm cultivator and the trusted aide of Venerated Giant, one of the seven venerated beings of the internal sea, Xu Rushan rarely lowered his head to others. Today, however, it was his first time smiling at someone.
"Hehe. Fellow Daoist Zhou Ming, if you help me this time, I will owe you a great favor. If you are in trouble in the future, I will definitely come to your aid even if I have to climb a mountain of swords or go through a sea of flames. I can swear on my Great Heart Devil Oath for this! Moreover, if you accomplish this task, one of the seven venerated beings of the internal sea will look favorably upon you. Even if you enter the internal sea, you will be considered to have a great backer. Of course, if you find it difficult to hunt two hundred demon cores, I will think of other ways to hunt tens of demon cores from others. But at the very least, Fellow Daoist needs to hunt one hundred and fifty demon cores. As a reward, other than exchanging one drop of Mother Earth Nether Milk for each demon core, I will give Fellow Daoist an additional fifty drops of Nether Milk. Two hundred drops of Nether Milk is equivalent to two thousand units of magic power. With this Nether Milk, Fellow Daoist can easily break through to the Peak Nascent Soul Realm! "
"…"
Ning Fan remained silent but his eyes were burning with passion.
He still needed to consider this matter carefully. Xu Rushan might look humble and humble when he asked for help, but if he agrees to help but fails to fulfill his promise, Xu Rushan would probably go mad and vent his anger on him.
Even if the number of two hundred Wild Beasts was reduced to one hundred and fifty, it was still not a small number.
Even though these Wild Beasts were just fake Wild Beasts and it was not difficult for Ning Fan to kill them individually, who knew if the Wild Beasts lived in groups in the secret realm?
Perhaps he could occasionally hunt a lone beast. However, if he wants to hunt two hundred of them, he would most likely encounter a group of Wild Beasts. A group of ferocious beasts that were comparable to Divine Transformation Realm experts … Just the thought of it made his scalp tingle.
If he could bring the stone warrior and the female corpse into the secret realm, it would be much easier. However, experts above the Divine Transformation Realm could not enter the secret realm … Thus, he would probably have to rely on himself.
Should he agree to it or reject it?
If he rejects it, he would miss the opportunity to obtain more than two hundred drops of Nether Milk!
Two hundred drops of Nether Milk would be equivalent to two thousand units of magic power. If he completes this task, he would be considered to have completed one-fifth of the path to the Divine Transformation Realm!
As for Xu Rushan's favor … To be honest, Ning Fan really did not think that an Early Divine Transformation Realm cultivator's favor was valuable.
While Ning Fan was thinking, the female corpse was quietly pulling the corner of her clothes while Xu Rushan was feeling nervous.
It would be great if he could enter the secret realm. It would not be difficult for him to kill the fake Wild Beasts. However, Divine Transformation Realm cultivators could not enter the secret realm …
It was rare for a Divine Transformation Realm cultivator like him to appear in the Endless Sea in just a few thousand years. If he were to miss this opportunity and look for others, Xu Rushan would not have the confidence …
He was a Divine Transformation Realm expert and one of the thirteen experts of the External Endless Sea. However, in front of 'Venerated Giant', he could easily destroy him with just a flick of his finger …
"I need to understand the habits, strength and methods of the Wild Beasts first before I can confirm if I have the ability to kill two hundred Wild Beasts. Before that, I would like to take a look at Senior Xu's jade slip. Of course, even if I have seen it, I can't guarantee that I will definitely agree to it. Thus, it is up to Senior to decide whether to let me have a look at the jade slip. "
Blue veins twitched on Xu Rushan's forehead. This Zhou Ming is really too indecisive.
However, if he were to put himself in Ning Fan's shoes, he would probably be even more cautious and hesitant than Ning Fan.
"Take it! Remember, do not reveal the contents of the jade slip. Otherwise, even if you are a Divine Transformation Realm cultivator, I will still hunt you down to the ends of the world! "
"Senior, don't worry. My mouth is the most reliable … Mm! What a strong spirit sense! "
Ning Fan pressed the jade slip on his glabella and his eyes narrowed.
As soon as he probed the jade slip, an incomparably ferocious spirit sense surged towards his face!
Within this spirit sense, there was a domineering black spirit sense. The spirit sense was ferocious and masculine. As soon as it appeared, Ning Fan's nascent soul felt like it was about to collapse. His heart felt like it was being pressed down by Mount Tai.
He took a few steps back while the blood and Qi in his chest churned. However, he still couldn't get rid of the ferocious spirit sense. Rain Intent flashed in his eyes. Within a thousand li, the black snow stopped and light rain fell. Ning Fan stopped retreating!
"Divine Rain Intent!" Xu Rushan's eagle-like pupils shrank!
On the eighth step, Ning Fan's Divine Rain Intent had already dissolved the domineering spirit sense in the spirit sense.
Xu Rushan couldn't imagine that Ning Fan who had yet to reach Divine Transformation Realm had already condensed a spirit sense!
Moreover, he only took eight steps back under the domineering spirit sense of the Venerated Giant. One should know that even Xu Rushan was forced to take seven steps back by the furious Venerated Giant's spirit sense when he first touched the jade slip. Moreover, Ning Fan himself only took seven steps back because he had used his spirit sense to defend himself.
This person really hid his strength well. If he released his spirit sense from the beginning, he would only take three steps back …
If it was in the past, Xu Rushan would probably want to dissect Ning Fan to find out his secrets.
Now, he couldn't wait for Ning Fan to become stronger. The stronger he is, the greater the chance of success in obtaining demon cores from him.
He remained silent and waited for Ning Fan to read the jade slip.
As for Ning Fan, he frowned and remained silent after reading it.
The person who imprinted the jade slip and the owner of the ferocious spirit sense was one of the seven venerated beings of the internal sea, 'Venerated Giant' Ju Qing of the Giant Devil Clan!
The first sentence in the jade slip was a curse.
"Little Shan 'zi, I'm telling you! Half a year! If you can't gather 200 demon cores to save my little Xueyan's life within half a year, I'll twist your head off! "
Feng Xueyan, the daughter of Venerated Giant of the Giant Devil Clan, was suffering from an acute illness and she needed demon cores to save her life.
As her illness worsened, she would need at least … 200 demon cores this time!
Venerated Giant had given his order! If Xu Rushan couldn't gather the demon cores by then, he would be prepared to lose his head! (To be continued.)
