Ning Fan moved stealthily in the underground cave. He didn't know how far he had walked, but at the end of the dark tunnel stood a giant silver door.
The gate was a hundred thousand feet tall, and there were twelve silver stone lions standing outside.
However, when Ning Fans figure appeared and approached the stone lions, the dull eyes of the twelve stone lions turned to Ning Fans and emitted a cold murderous intent.
It was as if he would be killed by the twelve stone lions if he went any closer to the giant door.
Ning Fans heart shuddered. If he was not wrong, these twelve stone lions were the product of some kind of formation.
It was built here because it was infused with the power of the formation to protect the gate and attack all trespassers.
Each of the twelve stone lions emitted the qi of a first heavenly layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm!
Once attacked by the twelve stone lions, even if it was the Rain Emperor, he would probably suffer some injuries.
These stone lions couldn't be brought away or moved away. The fact that they were sculpted in this place gave Ning Fan a great shock.
"The Rain Emperor who built the Blood Dragon Pool was so generous! He actually used twelve Void Fragmentation Realm stone statues to protect him during his seclusion. You should know that even the current Rain Palace only has eleven Void Fragmentation Realm experts, including the current Rain Sovereign … "
After calming himself down, Ning Fan halted his steps and no longer dared to approach the giant door without permission.
It was rumored that ever since the Red Cloud Rain Emperor, there had already been three generations of Rain Emperors who had not been able to enter this place to cultivate.
There must be a reason behind this.
Regarding this reason, Ning Fan had already guessed it before entering the underground cave.
Ning Fans eyes swept across the twelve stone lions and finally landed on an inconspicuous groove on the giant door.
The groove was only the size of a palm, as if something had to be inserted to open the giant door.
Without this object, even if the stone lions didn't attack the visitor, the visitor wouldn't be able to open the giant door.
Ning Fan patted his storage pouch and took out a silver token.
That token was precisely the Rain Emperor's Token that he had obtained from the eighth floor of the Lost World Tower!
The third level of the Blood Dragon Pool was a cultivation ground specially prepared for the Rain Emperor. Why is it that no one can enter the Red Cloud First Generation
When he saw the indent, he already had a guess. The size of the indent was exactly the same as the Rain Sovereign's token. Most likely, all of this was related to the Rain Emperor's Token!
After Hong Yun, there were already three generations of Rain Emperors who had lost their Rain Emperor's Badge.
Now that this item had fallen into Ning Fan's hands, he wondered if he could open the cultivation treasure vault that even the three generations of Rain Sovereigns could not open!
"Whether it's true or not, we'll know once we try! If I still get attacked by the stone lions with this token, I will immediately use the Heaven Deceiving Cloak to escape. Even though these stone lions have the strength of a First Heavenly Layer Void Fragmentation Realm expert, they might not be able to detect my whereabouts. "
Ning Fan made up his mind and stepped into the attacking range of the stone lions.
Vigilance rose in his heart. The moment the stone lions showed any signs of attacking, he would immediately retreat in stealth.
The moment Ning Fan stepped into the attacking range of the stone lions, the killing intent of the twelve stone lions locked onto him.
However, when the empty gazes of the twelve lions landed on the Rain Emperor's token, their killing intent immediately disappeared.
Amidst the rumbling sounds, the twelve stone lions actually knelt on their knees and lowered their heads to Ning Fan's direction.
After they kowtowed, twelve ancient and stiff voices came out.
"Greetings … Divine … Emperor …"
Ning Fan's eyes lit up with joy.
As expected, the key to opening the third level of the Blood Dragon Pool was this Rain Emperor's Token!
But in the next moment, Ning Fans eyes widened in shock. When the twelve stone lions knelt down, there was an indescribable pressure pressing down on Ning Fans.
That pressure did not have any malicious intent.
That pressure was produced by Void Fragmentation Realm experts who knelt down.
When one's cultivation base reached the Void Fragmentation Realm, he or she already had a connection with the Heavenly Dao and was about to become an immortal.
Not everyone could accept the kneeling of a Void Fragmentation Realm expert. If one's aura was not strong enough, he or she might even be kneeled to death by a Void Fragmentation Realm expert!
Even an Early Void Refinement Realm expert would probably die from kneeling to the twelve Void Fragmentation Realm stone lions.
Even a Peak Void Refinement Realm expert would not be able to avoid getting injured!
Ning Fan continuously took one hundred steps back. However, the aura force which was as vast as the sea was getting closer and closer to him.
This scene was similar to the scene when he went up the Bright Moon Tower in the Northern Desert City of the Luo Yun Tribe.
He was subdued by the aura force, comprehended the Aura Force Ascension Technique and comprehended the Sovereign Shadow's ability …
"Sovereign Shadow!"
Ning Fan stopped moving. His eyes shone with golden light and a golden shadow that was several zhang * tall appeared behind him.
At the moment when the golden shadow appeared, Ning Fan's body was enveloped in golden light. He took a step forward and stepped into the aura force without any fear.
"Break!"
He uttered the word coldly as if he had become a Void Fragmentation Realm sovereign expert after adding the Sovereign Shadow.
With the might of the Sovereign Shadow, it actually shattered the power of the twelve stone lions who knelt down and kowtowed.
"All of you, rise!"
"Yes!"
The twelve stone lions slowly rose to their feet. Once again, their spirituality was greatly reduced and they became ordinary stone statues.
Ning Fan looked at the Sovereign Shadow behind him and calmed himself down. If he did not condense the Sovereign Shadow, he would probably be injured and killed by the aura force.
The three Void Fragmentation Realm techniques were Incarnation, Soul Extraction and Sovereign Shadow.
The first two were the secret techniques that Ning Fan used the most.
The Incarnation Technique would first create a clone and devour it. The clone could then turn illusory into a real body and defend against many attacks. Moreover, the clone could also extend many secret techniques from the clone, such as the Black Tempest Soul Splitting Technique.
The Soul Extraction Technique would extract the souls of all living beings in the world to improve one's magic power. It was a secret technique that countless cultivators yearned to learn.
As for the Sovereign Shadow, it had a greater use.
The aura force of the Sovereign Shadow was one of its uses but it was not its true purpose.
The ultimate purpose of condensing the Sovereign Shadow was to refine the sovereign qi. However, it was not something that any cultivator could achieve.
When the sovereign qi is cultivated to a certain extent, it could devour heavenly lightning and earthly fire, block calamities and tribulations, conceal the heavenly secrets and immortal souls. It could also be used as a supreme offensive technique!
The Incarnation Technique focused on defense while the Soul Extraction Technique focused on support. As for the Sovereign Shadow … it focused on offense!
Ning Fan condensed the Sovereign Shadow but it did not have a trace of sovereign qi.
Rumor had it that among the eleven Void Fragmentation Realm experts in the Rain Palace, only the Rain Sovereign had completely condensed a trace of sovereign qi. Even Chu Changan who had served several generations of Divine Sovereigns only managed to condense half a trace of sovereign qi.
Even so, many people still respectfully addressed Old Man Chu as … Sovereign Chu!
The word 'sovereign' represented the sovereign qi!
A trace of sovereign qi was as light as cotton but it could suppress mountains and rivers.
If Ning Fan had a trace of sovereign qi and knelt down to the twelve stone lions, the one who would be injured would certainly not be him but the stone lions!
In the Nine Worlds, even an ordinary Void Fragmentation Realm expert would not be able to withstand the kneeling of a sovereign qi!
The reason why the Sovereign Rain Primordial Art given to him by Hong Yun was listed as the strongest cultivation method of the Rain Palace was because it recorded several secret techniques that utilized sovereign qi. When the Rain Sovereigns of the past condensed their sovereign qi and displayed their secret techniques, it would be difficult for them to find a match for those at the same level as them unless they were facing a sovereign expert!
Ning Fan stared at the Sovereign Shadow and fell into deep thought.
Currently, he did not have any sovereign qi. Other than using the Sovereign Shadow to block some of the aura force, he could not use it to attack at all.
To Ning Fan, sovereign qi was something that he could only hope to obtain.
If he condenses his sovereign qi at this moment, he would probably become a sovereign expert of the Rain World. It was just too ridiculous …
Without the obstruction of the stone lions, Ning Fan walked closer to the giant door. The door was also emitting a vast aura force. Fortunately, Ning Fan was not afraid of the aura force of the giant door with the help of the Sovereign Shadow.
With a flick of his finger, he inserted the Rain Sovereign Token into the groove. Immediately, the giant door let out a loud rumbling sound and slowly opened.
After keeping the Rain Sovereign Token, Ning Fan took a step into the giant door. In an instant, the giant door slowly closed.
No one knew that Ning Fan had entered the forbidden area that even three generations of Rain Sovereigns could not enter!
As far as the eye could see, this place was a splendid and magnificent palace.
This palace was only used for the cultivation of the past Rain Sovereigns.
In the middle of the palace, there was a circular pool that was only several zhang * (3.33m per zhang) in size. It was filled with dragon blood. It seemed to be used for people to soak in it and cultivate.
On the roof of the palace directly above the blood pool, there was a tiny hole that seemed to be connected to the first and second floors. It continuously drew the dragon blood of countless blood demons into this place.
Ning Fan's gaze fell upon the blood pool and he immediately took a deep breath.
This blood pool was filled with dragon blood!
There were probably tens of thousands of pots of it!
How much magic power would be contained in such a large amount of dragon blood?
This dragon blood was collected drop by drop from the Blood Dragon Pool.
If it was the era of the previous Rain Sovereigns, they would certainly not be able to accumulate so much dragon blood. Perhaps just half of the pool would be completely refined by the previous Rain Sovereigns.
Ning Fan was lucky. It had been three generations since the last Rain Sovereign came to the third floor of the Blood Dragon Pool. All of the dragon blood was accumulated here, waiting for Ning Fan to enjoy it.
Ning Fan stared at the pool of dragon blood. He was absolutely reluctant to use this pool of dragon blood to soak in it.
Ten thousand jugs of dragon blood brewed into blood wine would be equivalent to fifty million units of magic power.
It was highly possible for him to break through to the First Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm after devouring the entire pool of dragon blood!
From this blood pool, Ning Fan could almost see the hope of ascending to the heavens with a single step. However, a moment later, he seemed to have noticed something. Immediately, a bucket of cold water was poured over his head. He did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Destroyed … even though there was a lot of dragon blood in this pool, it was all destroyed by this pool.
There was a great formation set up in the blood pool, and all of the dragon blood was converted into bath water, so it could no longer be used to brew wine.
Ning Fan could only choose to take a bath in this place. It was impossible for him to refine the dragon blood and attain the Void Fragmentation Realm!
Even if Ning Fan's Dao Heart was firm, he could not help but feel a little shaken.
When a cultivator who had been cultivating painstakingly and longing to reach the Void Fragmentation Realm suddenly saw the hope of breaking through to the Void Fragmentation Realm, how joyous would that be?
When he found out that his joy was for naught, how sad was that?
However, his Dao Heart only wavered for a moment before it was stopped by Ning Fan.
He gazed at the pool of blood in silence, pondered carefully, and then came to an understanding.
To a Divine Transformation Realm or Void Refinement Realm cultivator, the blood wine brewed from this pool of dragon blood had the hope of breaking through to the First Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm.
However, to the Rain Sovereign who was at the Void Fragmentation Realm, the magic power contained in this pool of dragon blood was perhaps insignificant.
The Rain Sovereign who built this Blood Dragon Pool must have spent so much effort to build this pool of blood for bathing. It was certainly not just for bathing.
With Ning Fan's intelligence, he immediately guessed that this blood pool must be of great importance to the Rain Sovereign's cultivation!
That purpose was even more important than breaking through to the next level of cultivation. Therefore, this dragon blood was not used to brew wine but to build a pool!
Ning Fan made up his mind and scanned the palace with his eyes as if he was searching for something.
In this palace, other than this blood pool, there were also many good things.
On an ancient shelf, there were many jade slips and ancient books. Ning Fan flipped through them one by one. To his surprise, he found out that the jade slips here were the cultivation experiences of cultivators. Not only did they come from the Rain World, but there were also those from other worlds as well. Moreover, there were even the experiences of ancient immortals.
The focus of these experiences were all Sovereign Shadow and Sovereign Qi!
Other than that, Ning Fan also found piles of immortal jade at the end of the palace and … Dao Crystals!
A Dao Crystal was equivalent to five million immortal jade.
There were at least one thousand Dao Crystals in this place which was equivalent to five billion immortal jade!
Apart from that, the engravings on the walls of the palace were filled with pictures and words.
When Ning Fan looked at them carefully with his spirit sense, he found out that the pictures and words recorded the experiences of the previous Rain Sovereigns when they cultivated the Sovereign Shadow and condensed their sovereign qi.
At the end of the palace, Ning Fan found a stone platform with a round crystal enshrined on it.
As soon as he saw the crystal, Ning Fan's eyes turned cold.
This crystal was actually the Inheritance Crystal that could only be found in the Four Heavens Immortal Worlds!
The Inheritance Crystal could directly pass on the cultivation experiences of cultivation methods and secret techniques to the cultivators of the later generations.
As for how much inheritance one could obtain, it would depend on the cultivator's innate talent and comprehension ability.
A bold guess rose in Ning Fan's mind.
Everything in this place was related to the Sovereign Shadow and Sovereign Qi. Could it be that the purpose of building the blood pool was to help the previous Rain Sovereigns condense their sovereign qi and become sovereigns?
If that's the case, could Ning Fan use the resources here to condense his first trace of sovereign qi?!
In the Rain Palace, there was only one Rain Sovereign who could condense sovereign qi. From today onwards, would there be another Ning Fan?!
Ning Fan's eyes were filled with excitement. If everything was as he had guessed, the blood pool existed to condense sovereign qi. Without a doubt, bathing in the dragon blood was much more cost-effective than directly increasing his magic power.
Whether it was as he had guessed, he would know once he examined the crystal.
Ning Fan wanted to see what kind of inheritance the previous Rain Sovereigns had left behind in this place.
He pressed his palm on the crystal.
At the next moment, countless memories were transmitted into his body from the crystal.
In his Sea of Consciousness, he seemed to hear a voice that was teaching him.
"I am the Demonic Cloud Rain Sovereign. I set up the Dragon Pool for the future Rain Sovereigns to condense sovereign qi …"
After hearing this voice, countless memories flowed into Ning Fan's Sea of Consciousness like tidal waves.
Ning Fan's eyes became even more fervent. Among those memories, it even included the entire cultivation method of the Sovereign Rain Primordial Art.
In the end, he was able to confirm one thing: this place was indeed prepared for the purpose of gathering the Monarch Qi.
If he can condense a trace of sovereign qi, he could completely suppress an Early Void Refinement Realm cultivator even if he was a Divine Transformation Realm cultivator!
