As soon as this thought popped up in his mind, he could not extricate himself from it.
Even though Ning Fan did not know what the seven pieces of crystals were, he could guess that they were powerful enough to reverse the flow of time in the Lost World Palace. The value of those crystals was enough to shake the entire Rain World!
No, it was even more valuable … The crystals gave Ning Fan a feeling that the power contained within them was supreme, just like the power of samsara. It was definitely not something that he could touch …
Because it was untouchable, it further proved that these crystals were a great opportunity!
Ning Fan placed his palm on the spatial barrier in front of him, estimating the possibility of breaking it.
The spatial barrier between the seventh floor and the eighth floor was built to prevent Void Fragmentation Realm cultivators from passing through. Its sturdiness was enough to defend against the attacks of any Void Fragmentation Realm old monsters. Even though Ning Fan had the Wind Mist Finger which allowed him to borrow a trace of samsara power, he would not be able to melt this spatial barrier without several years of hard work.
Ning Fan's Wind Mist Finger was enough to break an Immortal Void Realm grand formation.
Even he found it difficult to break it. Ordinary Void Fragmentation Realm old monsters would not be able to enter the eighth floor at all. In the Rain World, no one could steal the seven pieces of crystals.
Ning Fan's mind raced. He still had ten years to stay in this place. It would not be difficult for him to spend a few years to break the barrier.
However, will there be other dangers in the eighth floor … It would be unreasonable if the seven pieces of crystals were placed here without any protection.
Purple light flashed in Ning Fan's left eye. After a long time, he confirmed that there was no protective formation on the eighth floor.
His eyes scanned across the hundreds of ancient statues and he seemed to be deep in thought.
These statues seem to be decorations. However, are they really just decorations …?
No. That's not right!
Ning Fan bit the tip of his tongue and sacrificed a mouthful of blood essence to strengthen his Fu Li Eye.
This time, he could vaguely see the internal structure of the statue that was closest to him through the spatial barrier.
It was not a statue!
All of these statues were puppets that were in a sealed state!
Besides, if Ning Fan was not mistaken, each of the puppets here was … a Void Refinement Realm being!
* Hiss *
Ning Fan could not help but be shocked by the generosity of the Lost World Palace.
There were hundreds of Void Refinement Realm puppets in the Lost World Tower. Even if a Void Fragmentation Realm expert of the Rain World managed to enter the eighth floor, even a Void Fragmentation Realm old monster might not be able to withstand the joint attacks of hundreds of Void Refinement Realm experts.
When he thought of this, he suddenly fell into silence. His fiery emotions gradually calmed down.
He could imagine that once he enters the eighth floor and takes away the crystal, all of the spiritual puppets would be alerted, causing them to release their seals. At that time, there would be hundreds of Void Refinement Realm puppets attacking him at the same time. It would be difficult to guarantee his survival!
Was it not worth it to take such a huge risk for this unknown crystal?
Even if Ning Fan obtained this crystal, it would be impossible for him to use the crystal to reverse time without the formation of the Lost World Tower.
However, Ning Fan could vaguely feel the enormous energy coming from the crystal. If I can devour one piece … Even if it's only one piece …
Ning Fan was confident that his magic power could break through to the Mid Divine Transformation Realm. Once all three of his powers reach the Mid Divine Transformation Realm at the same time and combine them into one, it would not be difficult for him to break through to the Late Divine Transformation Realm! There was even a sliver of a chance for him to reach the peak of the Soul Formation stage!
The opportunity was right in front of him, but along with the great opportunity came great risks.
Ning Fan struggled in his heart. He looked at the seven stone platforms and pondered.
"What are the chances of me stealing the crystal?"
Looking at the hundreds of puppets, Zhang Xuan counted silently. There were a total of 343 puppets in this batch.
Among them, each of the 49 puppets seemed to be responsible for guarding the crystal on one of the stone platforms.
Does this mean that if Ning Fan only takes away one piece of crystal, he would only be attacked by 49 puppets?
With that thought in mind, the risk seemed to have been reduced to one-seventh of the original risk.
"If there are only 49 Void Refinement Realm puppets attacking me, I might be able to fight! I also have a large number of spiritual puppets with me. Among them, there are even three Void Refinement Realm puppets. These puppets might be able to stop me for a while. However, if they are attacked by 49 Void Refinement Realm puppets, they will definitely be severely damaged … "
"The puppets guarding the seven stone platforms are the same. However, the seven pieces of crystal correspond to the seven floors of the Lost World Tower. The flow of time on the seven floors is different. I'm afraid that the energy contained in the crystals is also different. The crystal that is responsible for slowing down the flow of time on the seventh floor must be the strongest one! If I only take away one piece of crystal, I naturally want to take the strongest one! However, if I steal this crystal, it will definitely cause the seventh floor to lose the effect of time cultivation … However, this is also the benefit of taking away the crystal of the seventh floor! "
"The probability of being discovered is the lowest if I take away the crystal of the seventh floor. After all, the seventh floor is a floor that only Void Fragmentation Realm experts can enter. However, Void Fragmentation Realm experts of the Rain World rarely come to the Lost World Tower to cultivate. Naturally, no one will notice that the effect of time slowing has disappeared."
"Even if there is a loophole in the plan and some Void Fragmentation Realm expert discovers it, causing the seventh floor to lose its effect of cultivation, it will still be something that will happen many years later. Who would be able to guess that I'm the one who stole the crystal?!"
"Even if they can guess it, I'm afraid that I would already have the strength of a Void Refinement Realm expert or even a Void Fragmentation Realm expert by then. Moreover, I have a close relationship with the Lost World Palace. Why would the Lost World Palace hold me responsible for a piece of crystal of the silver tower in the lower world?! This crystal is certainly precious in my eyes. However, in the eyes of those immortals, it's probably not worth mentioning … The puppets guarding the crystal are only at the Void Refinement Realm. This is the biggest proof! If this crystal is enough to make immortals drool over it, the Lost World Palace would naturally be worried that some immortals would come to the lower world to steal the crystal. Thus, the puppets that they set up would not just be at the Void Refinement Realm … "
Hundreds of thoughts flashed across Ning Fan's mind as he weighed the pros and cons. What seemed to be an extremely bold action gradually became feasible after various analyses.
He had many spiritual puppets and the Star Positioning Plate. At the moment when he takes away the crystal of the seventh floor, he would immediately turn around and flee. With the help of the spiritual puppets, his chances of successfully escaping would be at least fifty percent!
If his speed is a little faster and attains the Void Refinement Realm, he could use a self-damaging secret technique to further increase his speed. Then, his chances of successfully stealing the crystal would increase by at least ten percent!
Ning Fan stretched out his Fu Li purple wings and calculated inwardly. If he engraved 180,000 spirit seals on his wings, it would not be difficult for him to advance from the Half-Step Void Refinement Realm to the Void Refinement Realm!
"Sixty percent is still a little low … However, I still have the Mourning Life Imprisoning Technique which specializes in restraining all kinds of spiritual puppets. Even though I can't subdue the Void Refinement Realm spiritual puppets with my current cultivation level, I should be able to stop the puppets for a while and make them lose their senses for a moment … In this case, my chances of success are seventy percent."
Seventy percent chance of success … It's worth it to gamble on the chance of attaining the Peak Divine Transformation Realm!
Ning Fan's eyes flashed with determination. He had already made up his mind to steal the crystal of the seventh floor!
What he needed to be wary of was the secret technique of the Lost World Palace's puppet fusion. If the forty-nine Void Refinement Realm spiritual puppets fuse into a Void Fragmentation Realm spiritual puppet, it would be difficult for Ning Fan to escape. Once he discovers that the spiritual puppets are showing signs of fusion, he must immediately interfere with them using magic techniques!
A thorough, bold and slightly crazy plan gradually took shape in Ning Fan's mind.
There are countless choices in life. If one makes a wrong choice, his entire clan will be wiped out.
However, if one is afraid of everything and runs away from everything, he will never have the chance to be superior to others.
If the odds of success are high, it will be an opportunity. If the odds of success are low, it will be a risk!
Ning Fan began to make thorough preparations.
In the first year, he engraved 180,000 spirit seals with the word "Speed" on his Fu Li wings, allowing his maximum speed to break through the Early Void Refinement Realm.
In the second year, Ning Fan spent 500 million immortal jade to ignite all thirty thousand star lamps in the Star Positioning Plate and activated its strongest defense!
In the third year, Ning Fan took out 25 Divine Transformation Realm spiritual puppets, the black dragon refined corpse and three Void Refinement Realm spiritual puppets. He carefully repaired the damage of all the spiritual puppets to ensure that they were in their peak condition.
From the fourth year to the seventh year, Ning Fan continuously eroded the spatial barrier of the eighth level with his Wind Mist Finger.
The barrier which was strong enough to defend against Void Fragmentation Realm attacks gradually cracked under his relentless attacks.
The barrier leading to the eighth level became thinner and thinner. On a certain day, it became as thin as a piece of paper which could be broken with a single poke.
Ning Fan kept his Wind Mist Finger. He only needed to take a light step and he would be able to completely cross the barrier and enter the space of the eighth level!
Once he enters, he would have to face a huge gamble where he had a seventy percent chance of success and a thirty percent chance of death.
Even with Ning Fan's cold and indifferent personality, he felt slightly nervous. However, it was not a bad thing. An appropriate amount of nervousness could make one more focused.
With the Star Positioning Plate in his hand and the 29 refined spiritual puppets following behind him, Ning Fan took a deep breath and stepped into the space of the eighth level with a single step.
His forehead was slightly covered with beads of sweat. His footsteps were filled with probing.
If this first step leads to any unforeseen events, he would immediately take a step back and return to the seventh level to be safe.
* Dong *
The sound of Ning Fan's footsteps reverberated in the ten thousand zhang * (3.33m per zhang) spacious palace. However, it did not lead to any attacks. Judging from the situation, Ning Fan was safe until he touched the crystal.
After his body completely passed through the barrier, Ning Fan became two hundred percent vigilant. He carefully observed his surroundings and walked towards one of the seven stone platforms.
The crystal on that stone platform had the strongest energy fluctuation.
That crystal was the treasure which could slow down time in the seventh level!
Standing in front of the stone platform, Ning Fan gently flapped his Fu Li Wings. He was ready to retreat and escape back to the seventh level at any time!
His palm was just half an inch away from touching the crystal.
If there are no disturbances in the ten thousand zhang * (3.33m per zhang) palace, Ning Fan could escape in an instant.
After this instant, he might live or die …
At this moment, Ning Fan could still regret his decision and retreat. However, if he runs away, this opportunity to break through to the Peak Divine Transformation Realm would vanish like smoke in thin air …
Every step above the Divine Transformation Realm was extremely difficult. Ning Fan would not have the chance to encounter a crystal grade treasure which he could use to break through to the next level every time …
If I gamble, I would have a thirty percent chance of dying.
If I don't gamble, what cultivation base would I use to fight against Moksha Sovereign after ten years?!
Ning Fan's eyes flashed with determination and he muttered to himself.
"Even if I only have sixty percent, fifty percent or even forty percent chance, I still want to gamble. I can't let my master be hurt by that evil disciple again!"
* Ding *
Ning Fan's fingertip touched the crystal. When the crystal touched the stone platform, a faint sound was heard.
At the moment when the sound was heard, Ning Fan grabbed the crystal and flapped his wings without hesitation. He flew towards the passage of space that was one zhang * (3.33m per zhang) away and fled at full speed!
At the same time, the seals on the 49 statues that were guarding the stone platform were broken after countless years of silence. They regained their ability to move!
At this moment, the 49 spiritual puppets emitted Void Refinement Realm aura force. All of their killing intent locked onto Ning Fan.
"Seal!"
The 49 spiritual puppets uttered the same word in unison.
Forty-nine traces of void power turned into forty-nine layers of pitch-black gigantic walls, sealing off all of Ning Fan's escape routes!
They were not joking around. They really wanted to kill the person who stole the crystal!
"The person who steals time shall die!"
That's right. The power contained in those seven crystals was exactly time!
An unprecedented sense of crisis descended upon Ning Fans body.
If he could not escape from the 49 layers of seals, he would be blasted into ashes by the 49 Void Refinement Realm spiritual puppets in the next moment!
A thread of life and death!
