"G-greetings, Senior!"
The old man had slaughtered his entire life and was used to seeing life and death, but in front of the young man before him, his words were actually trembling and he was terrified!
Just a wisp of this young man's aura made the old man feel like he was suffocating.
That aura contained more than ten million Gold Core blood seas. The heavy murderous aura caused the Gold Core in the old man's dantian region to shatter!
He could not imagine that such an expert actually existed in this world!
Although the old man could not see the young man's face clearly, he vaguely felt that the aura was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
The trace of doubt in the old man's eyes did not escape the young man's detection.
He took a step forward and dispersed his aura. His gaze swept past the old man and the young man. Immediately, the old man felt like he had been completely seen through.
"You recognize me?"
The young man was slightly surprised. He noticed a slight fluctuation in the old man's eyes.
This young man was none other than Ning Fan. When he was in the Luo Yun Tribe, he changed his name to Lu Bei. After returning to the tribe, he continued to use the name Zhou Ming.
"No, I don't dare. How could I be acquainted with Senior Zhou …"
From Ning Fan's voice, the old man was even more certain that the person in front of him was Zhou Ming who had traveled together with him on the Heaven Evading Ship!
In a moment of panic, he accidentally called out 'Senior Zhou'. In an instant, the old man's expression changed drastically. He wanted to slap himself a few times.
How stupid! This person was definitely the invincible fiendish devil Zhou Ming. He had disappeared for twenty years and had suddenly reappeared. He definitely didn't want anyone to know. If he accidentally let his tongue slip and recognized Zhou Ming's identity, Zhou Ming might just kill him to silence him.
"Are you an old friend? I also feel that your aura is somewhat familiar … En, I remember now. I met you on the Heaven Evading Boat."
Ning Fan muttered to himself. He seemed to have recalled that there was indeed such an old man on the Heaven Evading Ship in the past.
Although he was infamous, he was not a person who would kill indiscriminately, and it was even more impossible for him to silence others just because they recognized him.
Although he didn't have the intention to kill, his infamous reputation from twenty years ago still lingered in the Outer Endless Sea. Of course, the elderly man was afraid of Ning Fan.
"I'm ashamed. Junior Sun Buyi indeed had the fortune to meet Senior on the Heaven Evading Ship that year …"
The elderly man felt slightly relieved. Based on his impression of Ning Fan, Ning Fan would never waste his breath on killing people.
Since Ning Fan had asked him a question, the elderly man would certainly not die.
"Sun Buyi, huh? I have something to ask you. If you can satisfy me, I will naturally reward you." Ning Fan's tone was extremely indifferent. However, the elderly man immediately became terrified.
"If Revered Ming has any questions, please feel free to ask. I will definitely tell you everything I know. How would I dare to ask for a reward?"
What a joke!
I'm already lucky to be able to stay alive from Ning Fan's hands. Why do I still need a reward? Sun Buyi didn't even dare to think about it.
"I wonder what Venerated Ming wants to ask …" Sun Buyi was a little uneasy. He was afraid that his answer would displease Ning Fan.
"Do you know when I will enter the Broken World Secret Domain?"
"Junior understands …"
"How long has it been since I left? What happened in the Endless Sea?"
"Replying to predecessor, it has been twenty-one years and nine months since you left the Endless Sea. As for the big events in the Endless Sea, I haven't cultivated in seclusion for years, so I know more or less. It's just that there are too many things that I know. If I were to say them one by one, it would inevitably delay Senior's time. Please allow this junior to imprint the memory in the jade slip for Senior's reference … Of course, if Senior insists on letting this junior narrate, this junior is also very willing. "
"There's no need for that. It's better to imprint the memory in the jade slip. It has been twenty-one years, huh? I suppose a lot of big events must have happened … "
Ning Fan's eyes were filled with worry. There were two forces in the Endless Sea that he was most concerned about.
One of them was the Pleasure Devil Island where Xu Qiuling was and the other was the Green Jade Immortal Island that Yin Suqiu joined.
Mm, there seems to be another one … Ning Fan was also a little concerned about Bei Xiaoman's safety.
"Yes! Since Senior has given the order, this junior will immediately imprint the memory in the jade slip! "
Sun Buyi did not dare to be negligent. He immediately patted his storage pouch and took out a jade slip. He carefully recalled the memories of the past twenty years and imprinted them into the jade slip one by one.
The memory of a cultivator was already far beyond that of a mortal. They could almost never forget anything they saw. Besides, Ning Fan only asked about the big events. Thus, imprinting these memories was just a trivial matter to Sun Buyi.
In just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he had imprinted all the trivial matters.
Then, Ning Fan flicked his sleeve and the jade slip in Sun Buyi's hand disappeared into thin air. In an instant, it appeared in Ning Fan's hand.
Sun Buyi had never seen such a technique in his life. He was extremely shocked.
This was not the technique of a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator at all. It seemed like he had borrowed the power of teleportation!
"Venerated Ming has broken through to the Divine Transformation Realm?! But twenty years ago, he had just formed his Nascent Soul. How did he achieve the Divine Transformation Realm after twenty years?! "
Ning Fan did not know that Sun Buyi was shocked. He scanned the jade slip with his spirit sense and found out that it contained the things he wanted to know. He nodded his head in satisfaction. Then, he patted his storage pouch and took out a bottle of pills. He tossed it to Sun Buyi as a reward.
Then, he took a step forward. With a flash of purple smoke, he disappeared without a trace!
"What a fast speed! This is Venerated Ming! I actually saw Venerated Ming himself! " After Ning Fan left, the young man at the side finally regained his breath from the heavy pressure. His eyes were filled with excitement.
As for Sun Buyi, he was astonished once again.
"Teleportation! It really is teleportation! He has returned. He … has achieved the Divine Transformation Realm! Twenty years … He used twenty years to achieve the Divine Transformation Realm! "
The astonishment in his heart had reached its peak. However, when Sun Buyi lowered his head, his expression changed greatly again.
"This is … a Nascent Transformation Pill! The pill that Venerated Ming gave me is actually a Fourth Transformation Nascent Transformation Pill! "
Sun Buyi's eyes were filled with excitement. He immediately kept the pill bottle like it was a treasure and cupped his fists in the direction where Ning Fan had left.
"Thank you for your generous gift, Venerated Ming!"
Today, the two of them were searching for ores in the deep sea. First, they were ambushed by the Reef Beasts. Then, they saw Ning Fan's return. Even though it was more daunting than dangerous, they no longer had the mood to search for ores.
The two of them sighed with emotion. Then, they immediately turned into rays of travelling light and left the sea region. As for announcing their encounter with Ning Fan, they did not dare to do so at all.
"An old friend, huh …"
Ten thousand li * (500m per li) away, Ning Fan was standing in the deep sea. The seawater was separated in a strange way. No sea beast dared to come close to him.
Ning Fan did not have much of an impression of Sun Buyi at all. However, the word 'old friend' touched his heart.
As for the Nascent Transformation Pill that he gave to Sun Buyi, it was just one of the countless pills that he had obtained from killing others along the way. It was not worth mentioning at all.
A single Nascent Transformation Pill was enough to cause a bloodbath in Yue Country in the past.
To the current Ning Fan, a single Nascent Transformation Pill was just an item of little value.
"Perhaps the next time I see Bei Yao and the other girls, they will just be my old friends …"
Holding the crystal clear Gu King Token in his hand, Ning Fan recalled the scenes that happened in the Star Palace.
The Gu King Token had been kept and the beauties had gone far away. Ning Fan then returned to the External Endless Sea. He no longer disguised himself as Lu Bei. Instead, he removed his disguise and turned back into Zhou Ming.
The female corpse and Yue Lingkong also temporarily went back into the Cauldron Ring to rest. The two of them had exhausted a lot of their strength while fleeing from the pursuit of the Realm Beast. They had also sustained some injuries. It was time for them to rest and recuperate.
"Endless Sea, I, Ning Fan, am back!"
Ning Fan's eyes flashed. He pressed the jade slip that Sun Buyi gave him to his glabella and closed his eyes to carefully browse through the changes that had taken place in the past twenty years.
The memories played in front of his eyes. After the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, Ning Fan opened his eyes. His eyes were filled with coldness and he continued browsing.
"Alliance of Ming Assassins! The Divine Transformation Realm old ancestor of the Ying Zhou Immortal Island secretly colluded with the Divine Transformation Realm experts in the internal sea to establish an assassin organization. Just to assassinate me, huh …? "
Ning Fan's eyes were filled with disdain. This mere Alliance of Ming Assassins was not worthy of his attention at all.
Divine Transformation Realm old ancestor, huh … Ning Fan had lost count of how many Early Divine Transformation Realm experts he had eaten in the External Endless Sea.
Compared to dealing with the Alliance of Ming Assassins, Ning Fan was more concerned about the Pleasure Devil Immortal Island. It was not because of that Mother Earth's heart but because of Xu Qiuling's injuries.
When he entered the secret realm of the Broken World that day, he deduced that Xu Qiuling had thirty years to live. Now that twenty years had passed, Xu Qiuling's injuries had already begun to act up. In another ten years, she would certainly die.
Fortunately, Ning Fan had already returned. Moreover, he had the Black Star Healing Technique that could heal living people. Basically, there was no injury that Ning Fan could not heal for cultivators below the Void Refinement Realm.
With him around, not only would Xu Qiuling not die, but her cultivation base would also improve tremendously with the help of her injuries.
Before entering the Broken World, Ning Fan could only heal Xu Qiuling's injuries. Now, he could even help her cultivation base improve rapidly.
When he browsed through the jade slip again, there were only two things that made Ning Fan's expression change.
One of them was the information about the Lost World Palace of the Penglai Immortal Island. The tower lord of the southern tower, Bei Xiaoman, had almost succeeded in her seclusion to attain the Divine Transformation Realm!
The other information was about the Green Jade Immortal Island.
Three years ago, the Mid Divine Transformation Realm old ancestor who had been hiding in the Green Jade Immortal Island all this while had returned to the Void!
Returning to the Void was when a cultivator died at the end of their lifespan.
Ning Fan once speculated that the reason why no devil cultivators from the External Endless Sea dared to lay their hands on the female cultivators of the Green Jade Immortal Island must be because this sect had a great hidden strength.
The information confirmed Ning Fan's speculation. The Green Jade Immortal Island had always been guarded by two Divine Transformation Realm experts. One of them was in the dark while the other was in the light!
The one in the light was an old lady whom Ning Fan had met half a time ago.
The one in the dark was a senior Divine Transformation Realm expert.
As soon as this senior Divine Transformation Realm expert died, the Green Jade Immortal Island did not have any new Divine Transformation Realm experts to replace her. It was already a little insufficient to guard the Green Jade Immortal Island with just one Divine Transformation Realm expert.
The female cultivators of the sect were all great human cauldrons. Countless devil cultivators were staring at the Green Jade Immortal Sect with saliva dripping from their mouths. There were even a few devil cultivators who had abducted more than ten female cultivators of the sect …
In the past three years, the Alliance of Ming Assassins had also begun to suppress the Green Jade Immortal Sect. The reason was because there was a rumor that the vice sect lord of the sect, Yin Suqiu, was Zhou Ming's woman!
Yin Suqiu had successfully formed her Nascent Soul and even obtained the inheritance of the Ruins of End's old ancestor from the Bi Yao Sect. Her cultivation base was almost at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm and she was only half a step away from the Spirit Transformation Realm.
The rise of Yin Suqiu's status in the Bi Yao Sect naturally aroused the jealousy of a certain female cultivator. Thus, her relationship with Ning Fan was exposed.
Once this was exposed, it would be disastrous! The Alliance of Ming Assassins had already decided to kill Yin Suqiu!
Fortunately, Yin Suqiu had never left the sect and had been cultivating in seclusion. Hence, no one had the chance to attack her.
The coldness in Ning Fan's eyes intensified.
Putting aside Yin Suqiu, the actions of the Ming Assassin Alliance had angered Ning Fan.
"Suqiu is currently in seclusion. She's fine for the time being … Humph. I'll save Qiuling first. After that, I must personally see what gives the Alliance of Ming Assassins the right to covet my woman!"
Ning Fan shook his body. In just a flash of purple smoke, he had already completely vanished from sight and drifted towards the Pleasure Devil Immortal Island.
It seemed like he had to do some things as soon as he returned.
If the outer seas were not stained with blood, some people would not learn to be obedient!
…
On the Black Tortoise Star in the Northern Heaven Void World, a cold lady who was standing on a purple crystal sword was flying towards the Sea of Clouds.
The Void World was the medium-sized world where the Tablet Master Immortal Emperor lived. The lady who was standing on the sword was wearing a small robe. Her soft shoes gave off a fragrant scent. Her body was surrounded by colorful sword qi. She was none other than the beloved disciple of the Tablet Master Immortal Emperor – Bei Li.
Bei Li had just come out from her seclusion and she hurried to the Sea of Clouds to help someone attain the Spirit Severing Realm.
With her identity, she would not personally help someone to attain the Spirit Severing Realm unless she met an expert who could pry into their luck.
Previously, she went to the Sea of Clouds to help Ning Fan.
This time, it was to help her younger sister.
Her fourth sister, Bei Xiaoman, was about to succeed in her mortal severing today. She would leave her name on the Dao Stele and become a Spirit Severing Realm cultivator.
"Xiaoman has finally attained the Spirit Severing Realm. If that's the case, she should return to the Northern Heaven soon …"
Bei Li muttered to herself as if she was worried about something. One hour later, they arrived at the bottom of the three Dao Steles in the Sea of Clouds.
Below the Dao Steles, Yi Qing was sitting on pins and needles. He was sighing while confronting a lady in red robes.
The lady in red robes held a red whip in her hand. Her small face was delicate and pretty but her eyes were cold. She stopped Yi Qing and insisted on sparring with him …
She was the Fourth Mistress of the Lost World Palace – Bei Xiaoman.
Bei Xiaoman saw that Yi Qing had some skills and wanted to spar with him. However, how would Yi Qing dare to fight her?
She was the Fourth Mistress of the Lost World Palace … If she gets hurt, it would be troublesome.
As soon as he saw Bei Li, Yi Qing hurriedly retreated as if he had just been pardoned.
Bei Li sighed softly and frowned when she saw him. Then, she said indifferently.
"Xiaoman, you're messing around again. You have just attained the Spirit Severing Realm and your cultivation base has yet to stabilize. How can you spar with someone? Junior Brother Yi Qing did not fight with you because he was afraid that you would get hurt … "
"Humph! All of you are looking down on me! If it wasn't because of my physique and my young age, I wouldn't have just attained the Spirit Severing Realm! Besides, I can't blame Yi Qing for being too arrogant when I quarreled with him … In the three stages of the Mortal Severing Realm, every time I passed a stage, he would nag at me once. He would talk about how amazing a person called 'Ning Fan' was in the past and what kind of results he achieved in passing the stages … How annoying! "
"Silly girl. That Young Master Ning is really amazing. Junior Brother Yi Qing admires Young Master Ning from the bottom of his heart. He didn't mean to provoke you …"
Bei Li's eyes were filled with reminiscence as if she was recalling a young man.
"Young Master Ning … Hmm? Sister Li feels a little strange. Didn't you always look down on men? Why are you so polite to that Ning Fan and even addressed him as Young Master Ning? "
Bei Xiaoman placed her hands behind her back. Her red feet were gently tapping on the ground as she looked at Bei Li with great interest. Her eyes were filled with smiles.
"Sister, could it be that you've fallen in love with that 'Young Master Ning'? That won't do. No matter how strong he is, he is just a person from the lower world … "
"Pooh! Xiaoman, you didn't learn anything good in the lower world. You're getting bolder and bolder! I've only met Young Master Ning once. How could I fall in love with him?! "Bei Li's face turned red and rolled her eyes at Bei Xiaoman.
"Of course, I know that Sister Li is a proud and arrogant person. It's impossible for you to fall in love with a cultivator from the lower world … Why are you so agitated? Besides, I know someone from the lower world. In terms of talent, he is not inferior to your 'Young Master Ning'! "
"What do you mean by 'my Young Master Ning' … Who is the person you know? What's his cultivation base?" Bei Li's interest was piqued.
"His name is Zhou Ming. He's a stinky brat who bullies me every day! However, he is really talented and powerful. He has gone missing for twenty years. I have no idea where he has gone to. Humph! He must have gone to fool around with that wild woman. I'm so angry! "
Bei Xiaoman's face was filled with anger. However, even if 'Zhou Ming' had gone to fool around with that woman, what was there to be angry about? Didn't she dislike 'Zhou Ming'?
"Silly sister …" Bei Li seemed to have seen through Xiaoman's thoughts. She thought to herself, I'm afraid that my sister has taken a fancy to a cultivator from the lower domain. Is that person called Zhou Ming …?
"What's Zhou Ming's bone age like? Does he have any special talents? With your standards, you shouldn't be interested in outstanding talents below the Soul Formation Realm … "
"En, he is very powerful, definitely more powerful than your Young Master Ning! His bone-age is less than four hundred years old, but his cultivation base is already at the Late Nascent Soul Realm … Twenty years ago, when he went missing, he was at this cultivation base … "Bei Xiaoman was a little disappointed.
Bei Li shook her head and said, "A Nascent Soul Late Stage at four hundred years old? That's not bad. However, compared to Young Master Ning, who reached the Soul Formation stage at three hundred years old, he's still a little lacking."
"Who said that! Although that Zhou Ming is a Late Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, he has even killed a Divine Transformation Realm cultivator before. Moreover, he is a Fifth Revolution Pill Refinement Master! "
As soon as he finished speaking, Bei Xiaoman immediately became complacent. It was as if the four hundred years old Fifth Revolution Pill Master was not Zhou Ming, but her.
"A Fifth Revolution Pill Master! In that case, this Young Master Zhou is indeed very talented … Is he a genius of the Dao of Alchemy? "Bei Li pondered.
"You are not allowed to call him Young Master Zhou! You don't even know him! You go and look for your Ning Fan. Zhou Ming is mine! "
Bei Xiaoman was like a little kid, causing Bei Li to feel pity and a headache at the same time.
It would be good if this sister of mine is more mature …
He had only casually mentioned Young Master Zhou, and this silly sister of his was already starting to get jealous.
Has this silly sister fallen in love with that Zhou Ming? If that's the case, it will be troublesome.
"Xiaoman, you should know that you have an engagement with the 'Ximen Clan' … Speaking of which, where is your Yuan Yao Jade?! Don't tell me you gave it to Zhou Ming?! "Bei Li's beautiful eyes turned serious. This was a serious problem.
"The Yuan Yao Jade is with the Stone Warrior for safekeeping … As for the Ximen Clan … I won't marry them!"
Bei Xiaoman lied. Both the Yuan Yao Jade and the Stone Warrior were lost.
"Silly sister, even if you don't marry into the Ximen Clan, it's still impossible for you to be with that Zhou Ming …"
Bei Li wanted to persuade her again. Suddenly, a tyrannical Void Shedding Realm aura descended from the sea of clouds along with purple rays of light.
Immediately, both of them revealed a surprised expression.
"Mother! Why are you here? "
"Naturally, I'm here to give you an item to help you slay the scarlet dragon …"
Within the rays of light, Yuan Yao took a step forward. She was like a fairy that had descended from the heavens and stood aloof from the world.
There seemed to be some injuries on her body. However, before her two daughters could ask anything, Yuan Yao flicked her sleeve and took out a black crystal, handing it to Bei Xiaoman.
"Man Er, after you return to the Rain World, refine this crystal and you will definitely be able to slay the scarlet dragon. Then, you will no longer have to worry about the 'Gui Vein Bloodthirst'. You don't need to suppress the killing intent of the Gui Vein by killing people anymore … "
"Thank you, mother!"
Bei Xiaoman hugged Yuan Yao, feeling incomparably happy. She wanted to slay the scarlet dragon even in her dreams.
Month after month, this was indeed a difficult task …
"By the way, what were you guys talking about just now?" Yuan Yao asked casually.
"We were talking about which genius is more outstanding! I like Zhou Ming but big sister likes Ning Fan! "Bei Xiaoman stuck out her tongue and acted coquettishly to Yuan Yao.
"What do you mean I like Ning Fan …" Bei Li did not like to talk much. She did not have the strength to defend herself.
The conversation between the two of them, however, made Yuan Yao sink into contemplation.
"Genius, huh … I'm afraid Ning Fan and Zhou Ming can't be compared to that person …"
"Who can't be compared to?" Bei Xiaoman was in the lower world while Bei Li had just come out from her seclusion not long ago. Both of them did not know about a huge rumor in the Northern Heaven.
"Currently, almost all the geniuses in the Northern Heaven have been subdued by a young man … That person was born in the lower world but he defeated Zi Chuan and killed Lin Su with just his Divine Transformation Realm cultivation base. He fought against the Realm Beast alone and bathed the sea of stars in blood … His name is Lu Bei … I'm afraid he's the most outstanding person among the geniuses of this generation …"
Yuan Yao recalled the past but she tried her best to hide her facial expression, pretending that she did not know 'Lu Bei'.
"Strange? With mother's status, how could she praise a Divine Transformation Realm cultivator from the lower world … "Bei Xiaoman and Bei Li found it hard to believe.
However, the three of them did not know that the strongest genius that they were arguing about was actually the same person!
That person had already quietly returned to the Endless Sea and was preparing to stir up a storm again! (To be continued.)
