Ning Fan kept the golden flame chariot and the dragon corpse. Then, he walked side by side with Lu Wan'er. Facing the gazes of the group of demons, he remained calm and composed.
Seeing Ning Fan's arrival, all the demon lords rushed forward and cupped their fists. Their eyes were filled with respect. If Ning Fan's Wind Mist Finger that killed Wang Xiao was already enough to make all the Severed Demon Realm experts wary, then this Half-Step Void Refinement Realm dragon corpse made them shudder in fear.
The Earth Generals of the Lie Tu Tribe were especially enthusiastic. Due to the fact that he had placed a bounty on Luo Yun's head and attempted to assassinate Ning Fan, he naturally spared no effort to please Ning Fan in order to protect himself. He even ceded tens of millions of li * (500m per li) of land to the north of the Boundless Plain to Luo Yun. As such, Ning Fan did not want to kill this person.
"Haha, General Bei is finally here. We have been waiting for you for a long time. I heard that General Bei is traveling around the Nine Divisions in search of ancient formations. I wonder what they are used for. If you have any orders, I can help you collect some. "
The nine Demon Sealers welcomed him at the same time, giving Ning Fan enough face.
Ning Fan cupped his fists in return and shook his head indifferently towards the Earth Generals fawning over him.
"It's fine. I've already gathered most of the formation diagrams that should be gathered, so there's no need for General Earth to trouble yourself."
As for the use of the formation diagram, he laughed it off and did not expose it. The Earth General was tactful and did not ask any further.
Ning Fan's gaze swept across Lu Daochen and Lu Jiefen. The former was smiling meaningfully at him, while the latter, after exchanging greetings, immediately turned around and returned to the ranks of the Cleansing Flame Tribe.
Ning Fan flashed a friendly smile at the former but his eyes turned solemn when he looked at the latter.
Ning Fan naturally knew what Lu Daochen was hinting at. Lu Daochen hoped that Ning Fan would keep his promise and save Demon Marshal Lu Wu in the Third World.
What caught Ning Fan's attention was Lu Jiefen.
The aura of this person today gave Ning Fan a strange feeling …
In the past, Lu Jiefen was at the Late Stage of the Deity Transformation Realm. Relying on the power of the Bestowment Star, it was difficult for him to meet a worthy opponent in the Late Stage. However, he was still weaker than Wang Xiao, so there was nothing to worry about.
As for the current Lu Jiefen, there was an extremely obscure aura on his body. This Qi actually gave Ning Fan a sense of danger.
That qi was very familiar. Ning Fan had sensed it a few times from Chu He, Ying He and the other experts of the Demon Sealing Sect.
The unique aura of the members of the Demon Sealing Sect!
"This Lu Jiefen is indeed closely related to the Demon Sealing Hall. Today, he seems to have used some kind of secret technique to increase his strength … It seems like the Purifying Flame Tribe and the Demon Sealing Hall have planned a lot for the Star of the Celestial Emperor."
Thoughts flashed across Ning Fan's mind, but his facial expression remained unchanged.
The Broken Realm Secret Realm was first discovered by the Giant Demon Clan, but the Demon Sealing Sect sent a secret report to the upper realm. Only then did the Demon Spirit Land know about it, and the demon clan was sent down to open the path to the lower realm.
Demon Sealing Hall. The two words' Demon Sealing 'seemed to be hinting at something.
The Demon Sealing Palace and the Pure Fire Division … Ning Fan had no idea what the two of them were planning. However, he was not afraid of the Demon Sealing Palace playing any tricks with his many trump cards.
"Lu Jiefen … No matter what, I must obtain the Third Realm's Star of the Heavenly Emperor!"
Ning Fan shifted his gaze away and followed Lu Daochen into the Luo Yun group.
Although Lu Daochen was smiling, there was a rare hint of seriousness on his face.
"I'll leave General Lu to you!" Lu Daochen transmitted.
Then, he patted his storage pouch and took out a silver jade box that was covered with dust.
Ning Fan scanned it with his spirit sense. Immediately, his eyes turned cold and he kept the jade box.
Inside the box, there was an ancient silver key that was tightly sealed.
He deduced that this item was the key to the Star Palace!
This item was the key to subduing the Imperial Star. It was even more important than the map of the world. Lu Daochen naturally would not give it to Ning Fan without waiting for the opening of the world passage.
Now, however, the only thing Lu Daochen could do was to trust Ning Fan. He entrusted this item to Ning Fan and hoped that Ning Fan would keep his promise.
"Don't worry!" Ning Fan's reply was just two words but it was loud and clear.
Ning Fan's character was cunning and cunning. However, if the other party did not disappoint him, he would not break his promise.
Lu Daochen nodded his head in satisfaction. Then, he raised his head and looked at the illusory blood door in the sky.
"The world passage is about to open … When this blood door completely solidifies, you will combine the nine diagrams into one and draw out General Lu's qi to open this door! You should know the map of the Star Palace … I'll leave everything to you! "
"Mm."
As Ning Fan arrived, the sacrificial ceremony began.
On the formation map that was inscribed in advance, hundreds of thousands of demon beasts were sacrificed. As they screamed, they turned into blood light and fused into the giant door.
Nearly one hundred priests from various tribes bowed and kowtowed to the giant statue of a six-legged golden beast at the center of the formation. At the same time, they chanted ancient scriptures.
Nearly ten thousand ancient demon sacrificial tools were placed at the formation's eyes. As the formation was activated, all of them lit up with white light.
A vast aura force spread out from the six-legged golden statue, spreading across hundreds of thousands of li * (500m per li).
Under this aura force, each of the Nascent Soul Realm experts found it hard to maintain their composure. Only by bowing and kowtowing could they dispel the aura force. As for the Divine Transformation Realm demon generals, they could not remain calm in the face of this aura force.
However, when this aura force reached the Luo Yun Tribe, Ning Fan took a step forward. The purple star flashed and he clenched his five fingers, crushing the aura force and protecting Lu Wan 'er from being invaded by it.
This scene attracted the attention of many experts of the demon race. However, before they could ask anything, a heavy rumbling sound suddenly resounded in the sky. At this moment, the giant blood-red door solidified and a crack appeared on it!
The reason why it was not fully opened was because the world map was missing!
Ning Fan knew that it was time for him to act. Once the world passage is opened, it would be difficult for him to return to the Third World. He did not know when would be the next time he would be able to meet Lu Wan 'er again.
"Go … This time, only master, elder brother and General Lu Ao of the Luo Yun Tribe will enter the Third World. The other generals will stay in the Luo Yun Tribe. You don't have to worry about my safety."
Although Lu Wan 'er was smiling, her eyes were filled with deep reluctance. She knew that the moment Ning Fan steps into the Third World would be the time for them to part.
She tried her best not to cry. However, her shoulders were trembling.
"Hurry up and go. Do you really want to see me cry?!"
"If all the grudges are settled … I will return!"
Ning Fan's eyes flashed with determination. With a single step, he turned into purple smoke and soared into the sky!
Standing in front of the giant door, he patted his storage pouch and took out the nine world maps. His eyes flashed with determination.
The nine incomplete maps were originally broken. However, as Ning Fan exerted his palm force, the cracks on the nine maps actually showed signs of merging into one.
As the nine maps merged into one, a ray of golden light shot out from the incomplete maps and entered the giant door.
Within that golden light, there was a vigorous aura force. Even though it was not as strong as the six-legged golden statue, it had already reached the Void Refinement Realm. At the moment when the golden light emerged, a golden mark appeared on the foreheads of the nine Severed Demons at the same time. Then, it flashed and disappeared.
"General Lu!" Lu Daochen's old eyes became a little blurry. His voice was filled with excitement. This qi belonged to his former master, Lu Wu!
As for the other Severed Demons, their expressions were filled with reminiscence, sighing and other different expressions. Only Lu Jiefen's eyes revealed a hint of greed!
"If I can obtain the Star of the Heavenly Emperor, the part of my Pure Flame Body will certainly break through to the Half-Step Void Refinement Realm. Once my clone merges with my true body in the outside world, I will be able to advance to the Void Refinement Realm! I will dominate the internal sea and the nine divisions will also be invincible! "
The golden mark on Zhu Jiefen's forehead flashed and disappeared.
At the next moment, the giant door opened!
Behind the giant door was a boundless void space!
In the void space, rays of starlight paved a path. The end of the path was connected to the void space. Above the void space, there was a vast maze formed by the starlight!
"What is that?!"
Each of the demons took a glance and saw the scene on the other side of the giant door. Their expressions changed drastically.
Isn't the Third World supposed to be the world where the Demon Marshal is in slumber? Isn't it supposed to be made up of the Wild Continent and the giant sleeping egg?
The Sleeping Egg was a method used by the experts of the demon race to seal themselves in the egg. They couldn't cultivate and could only sleep. However, it had a heaven-defying effect that could almost erase the passage of time. Moreover, there were many ancient demons who sealed themselves in the egg. Even after countless years, they still retained their original bone age!
Logically speaking, Demon Marshal Lu Wu should be sleeping in the demon egg, shouldn't he?
However, there were no demon eggs in the Third World. There was only an endless void space and a maze of starlight. Why was that?
Even Qu Shun, Imperial Concubine Zi, Lu Jiefen and the others were astonished.
They were puzzled but they did not explain anything. Behind Ning Fan, there were already 49 rays of light soaring into the sky, heading straight for the Third World.
Only Ning Fan and Lu Daochen were not surprised because they knew the truth.
Ning Fan turned around and gave Lu Wan 'er a glance. Then, he clenched his fists and turned around, stepping into the path of stars!
The moment he stepped into the path of stars, he seemed to be guided by the starlight and entered a certain place in the Star Palace.
The remaining 49 people stepped into the path of stars one after another and spread out.
When the number of people who entered the palace reached 50, the giant door slowly closed.
"I won't be able to see it anymore …" Lu Wan 'er could no longer hold back her smile. She gently turned around to hide her tears.
"I will work hard in my cultivation to improve my Spirit Augmentation Technique and obtain the recognition of the Spirit King Palace. Then, I will obtain the chance to become an immortal just like my master … When that time comes, I will protect you and not let you wander around the world without anyone to rely on anymore … Ning Fan, I will wait for you … You must be safe …"
…
The starlight flashed past his eyes. Even if he used the Fu Li Eye to peek at it, he could not see the scenery behind it.
The speed of the starlight was too fast … It could travel at least six hundred thousand li * (500m per second) … This speed was six times faster than the current speed of the golden flame chariot! The golden flame chariot had already traveled one hundred thousand li * (500m per second). The speed of the starlight was probably comparable to that of a Half-Step Void Fragmentation Realm expert.
After being devoured by the starlight, the teleportation lasted for ten days. Ten days later, the starlight disappeared with a flash. Ning Fan glanced around and found that he had already appeared in a palace that was glowing with silver light.
The surrounding grass and trees were also silver in color.
Ning Fan placed his palm on the wall of the palace. Immediately, a strong rebounding force came from the wall, causing his qi to be greatly disrupted. He took tens of steps back and his eyes narrowed.
There was an extremely strong force on the wall that forbade anyone from touching it or passing through it.
That force was starlight!
This place is the Star Palace …
The path to the Star Palace was complicated and full of unpredictable dangers. However, Lu Daochen had once given Ning Fan a map of the Star Palace. Even though it was a rough map which was not accurate, the markings on it allowed Ning Fan to instantly understand where he was now.
"Is this one of the six courtyards of the Human Palace …?"
Ning Fan took out the jade slip that Lu Daochen gave him again and pressed it on his glabella. After identifying the map, he muttered to himself.
The Star Palace was a massive maze. According to Lu Daochen's division, it was divided into three areas from the outside to the inside – the Heaven Palace, the Earth Palace and the Human Palace.
The Human Palace was located at the outermost layer. There were six mazes in six directions which were called the six courtyards by Lu Daochen.
The Human Palace was located at the outermost layer. After passing through the six courtyards of the Human Palace, one would arrive at the three palaces of the Earth Palace.
At the end of the three palaces was the Heaven Palace. However, the structure of the Heaven Palace was extremely similar to the Heavenly Emperor's Medicinal Garden that Ning Fan saw in his reincarnation.
As for the place where Lu Shuai's remnant soul was trapped according to the red dot, it was in the Heaven Palace.
Ning Fan kept the jade slip and muttered to himself.
"I wonder where the others have been teleported to by the starlight …"
He scanned the area with his spirit sense. Just one of the six courtyards of the Human Palace at the outermost layer was already millions of li * (500m per li) in size. What was more troublesome was that the paths in this place were extremely complicated. There were also a lot of traps. With these traps, ordinary experts would not be able to fly at full speed at all. Moreover, they would have to be extremely careful with every step they take.
There was no one else within ten thousand li * (500m per li). Even though there were no signs of humans, Ning Fan found quite a number of thousand-year-old spiritual herbs in the maze. The oldest of the spiritual herbs had even reached ten thousand years of age which could be used to concoct Fifth Revolution Pills.
Spiritual herbs could not be endlessly aged just by nurturing them carefully. The maximum age a tuft of spiritual herb could reach depended on its species, density of spiritual qi, spiritual soil and spiritual spring water and many other factors.
Beside these spiritual herbs that were still growing, there was usually a thick layer of dust. All of them were spiritual herbs that were millions of years old. When they had reached the limit of their medicinal age, they eventually withered and turned into ashes because the spiritual qi in this place could not reach the required level.
"If I encounter these spiritual herbs, I don't have to miss them …"
The purple star in Ning Fan's left eye flashed. His perception power increased and he summoned the Fu Li Demon Wings. His speed was comparable to that of a Peak Divine Transformation Realm expert.
As soon as he took a step forward, he immediately turned into a trace of purple smoke and drifted ten thousand li * (500m per li) away.
Such an unscrupulous flight naturally triggered many traps. Rays of starlight arrows shot out from the hidden holes. With the perceptive power of the Fu Li Eye, Ning Fan could easily avoid the attacks of the traps by bending his body.
It was not difficult to avoid the traps. However, Ning Fan's heart was not calm.
In just one move, a sense of alarm rose in his heart.
Countless rays of starlight shot out from the surrounding walls of the palace. Each of them carried a great demonic intent. It was as if the starry sky was descending, making Ning Fan feel suffocated.
An irresistible ray of starlight wrapped around Ning Fan's physical body, as if it was imprisoning him. The starlight flashed and he was teleported back. In an instant, Ning Fan was actually teleported back to the starting point.
"Flight Restriction!"
Ning Fan's expression changed. Many mazes and ruins had similar restrictions. Once a cultivator tries to fly, he or she would be forcefully teleported back. The starlight in this place clearly contained a trace of domineering demonic intent. This demonic intent conveyed the intent of the Flight Restriction, forbidding anyone from flying in this place.
Ning Fan had never expected that there would be such a restriction in this Star Palace. If that's the case, does that mean I have to walk through this boundless Star Palace with my own two feet?
He tried to flap his wings again. However, the starlight that contained the demonic intent immediately pressed down on him. Under its suppression, Ning Fan was actually unable to fly even a little bit.
His eyes became unprecedentedly solemn.
"This Star Palace has been set up by someone with a demonic intent that forbids me from flying. However, I don't know if this demonic intent can be neutralized by the power of an intent realm of the same level. "
Ning Fan remained silent. He kept his Fu Li Wings and moved forward at a slow pace. However, his body was gradually enveloped by a trace of moist qi.
Inside the palace, it suddenly started raining in a small area without any warning.
The Divine Intent of Rain!
When the Divine Intent of Rain fell on his body, Ning Fan clearly felt that the power of the Flight Restriction had weakened significantly. When he summoned the Mountain Devil Intent and the Fu Li Demon Intent, the power of the Flight Restriction was no longer as obvious. Moreover, the current Ning Fan could barely fly at half of his original speed.
However, it was still far from enough for him to completely neutralize the power of the Flight Restriction with his current intent realm.
Even so, Ning Fan was sure of one thing – his Divine Intent could neutralize the demonic intent of the Star Palace. In that case, as long as his Divine Intent is strong enough, he would be able to suppress the demonic intent and fly in this Star Palace again!
Besides, he also noticed that the Divine Intent of Rain which was being suppressed by the demonic intent of the Star Palace was transforming and improving at a rapid speed.
"Interesting … Under the suppression of the demonic intent of this Star Palace, my Divine Intent of Rain is actually improving!"
Condensing the Divine Intent was just the first step. After comprehending the Initial Stage of the Divine Intent, a Divine Transformation Realm cultivator would fuse the Divine Intent into their magic techniques to greatly increase the destructive power of their magic techniques.
After condensing the Divine Intent, the cultivator would still need to cultivate the Divine Intent to Minor Accomplishment, Grand Accomplishment and Perfection Realm. Finally, the Divine Intent would enter the body and merge with the Void and Spirit!
Divine Transformation Realm cultivators no longer needed to improve their magic power to break through to the next realm. Many Early Divine Transformation Realm cultivators could not comprehend the Divine Intent in their entire lives. That was why they could not break through to the Mid Divine Transformation Realm.
In order to break through to the Mid Divine Transformation Realm, not only would one need sufficient magic power, one would also need to attain at least Minor Accomplishment in the Divine Intent. In order to break through to the Void Refinement Realm, one would need to attain Grand Accomplishment in the Divine Intent of Rain at least in order to comprehend the bottleneck!
Ning Fan's Divine Intent of Rain was just at the Initial Stage. He had never deliberately cultivated it before.
Today, however, under the suppression of the Star Palace's demonic intent, his Divine Intent of Rain seemed to be compressed and refined. It actually seemed to be driven to a higher level and was slowly approaching the Minor Accomplishment Realm!
This was a rare opportunity because the Star Palace was actually fused with the demonic intent of the Heaven Sovereign. Even though the demonic intent was broken, its aura force was still there. If Ning Fan could use the suppression as an opportunity to temper his Divine Intent, it would be a great opportunity for him to cultivate.
"Lu Daochen once said that if I obtain the Star of the Heaven Sovereign, I should be able to break through to the Mid Divine Transformation Realm. Therefore, in order to successfully break through to the Mid Divine Transformation Realm, I need to take this opportunity to cultivate my Divine Intent. The key of the Star Palace is in my hands. Other than me, no one else can obtain the inheritance of the Emperor Star. In this case, I don't need to hurry on with my journey … This is a great opportunity to use the Star Palace's demonic intent to temper my own intent realm! "
…
Divine Transformation Realm experts appeared one after another in every corner of the six courtyards of the Human Palace. When they saw the maze and the traps, their faces turned solemn.
Most of them entered the Third World to awaken the Demon Marshal or snatch the Star of the Heaven Sovereign from the Demon Marshal.
However, what they did not expect was that what appeared in front of them was a maze made of starlight.
What was even stranger was that each of the palaces was equipped with a demonic intent that forbade flying.
Fortunately, after summoning their demonic intent, most of them could fly at least one-tenth of their speed.
Concubine Zi's phoenix-like eyes looked gloomy outside a certain dilapidated palace wall of the six courtyards of the Human Palace. She had never expected that the Third World would be like this.
"Damn it! Why did the place where Lu Nie was sleeping become like this?! If that's the case, I don't know if I can still find enough ashes of the emperor herbs in this place … If I can't complete the mission given by the Spirit King, I will definitely die! "
Concubine Zi slowly took out a purple compass and sneered.
"My purple cuckoo demonic intent has already reached the Minor Completion stage. I can at least fly at half of my speed here! Hmph, let's find the other demon concubines first! As for the spiritual herbs in this place, they might not be able to satisfy the Spirit King since they are growing here. It's better to collect some … "
At the end of a certain deathly silent palace in the six courtyards stood a giant door that shone with silver light.
An Early Demon General was carefully walking alone. As he pushed the giant door open, he sighed inwardly.
"I didn't expect the Third World to be a maze. I also didn't expect this place to forbid flying. Fortunately, the place where I was teleported to seems to be closer to the center. Hmm … behind this door should be the central region. Hehe, if I can find the sleeping Demon Marshal Lu Wu and obtain the Star of the Heaven Sovereign before anyone else, even I will be qualified to break through to the Mid Divine Transformation Realm … If I can break through to the Mid Divine Transformation Realm, I will definitely be the strongest in the Nu River Tribe apart from the Demon Sealing Realm! "
This demon general was a member of the Nu River Tribe of the Fifth Division.
Coincidentally, he was teleported to the intersection between the Human Hall and the Earth Hall.
After pushing the heavy giant door open, he took a step inside. In the dim palace, there were several silver figures that were in deep sleep but were awakened by this person.
"Intruders of the Star Palace, die!"
Several silver figures uttered a shaky voice at the same time. At this moment, the Nu River Tribe's demon general's expression changed drastically.
"Divine Transformation Realm puppets! Why are there so many of them?! Ah! "
After a miserable shriek, the giant door closed.
Inside the Heaven Hall, the nine Demon Sealing Realm experts all had different expressions. They were teleported to this place by the starlight almost at the same time.
After all, they were old monsters that had cultivated for many years. After the unforeseen event, they immediately calmed down and began to think about the current situation.
On the other hand, Lu Daochen's expression changed. If he was not mistaken, this place should be the Heaven Hall that he had marked!
"Heaven Hall! According to my calculations, those who enter the Star Palace should be teleported to the Human Hall. Why are we nine Demon Sealing Realm experts directly teleported to the Heaven Hall … "
Roar!
A heavy bestial roar came through the giant sealed door of the Heaven Hall. However, a pressure that made Lu Daochen shiver came out and all his thoughts were interrupted.
That pressure brought along a black gale. When it blew, the nine Demon Sealing Realm experts were caught off guard. They lost their footing and flew backward.
If it wasn't for the giant sealed door, this bestial roar would have injured the nine Demon Sealing Realm experts severely.
"It's Master! No, that's not right! This is … "Lu Daochen's expression changed drastically.
There's no mistake. Lu Wu's remnant soul should be sealed in the Heaven Hall Token.
What exactly is hidden in this palace?!
"Lu Daochen! What are you hiding from us?! Why did General Lu's sleeping place become like this?! Could it be that the person imprisoned in this palace is … General Lu?! "
Lu Jiefen's eyes became unfriendly, but there was also fear in the unfriendliness.
Could it be that the sleeping Demon Commander Lu Wu had awakened?
But if he had awakened, why is the Death Qi in this palace so heavy? Could it be …
"General Lu is dead! And … "Lu Jiefen's expression changed drastically. (To be continued.)
