Within a day, Ning Fan decided to stay in the Dragon Deciding Valley for the time being. After bidding farewell to Yu Bai and the others, he dismissed the guests and stayed in his room alone.
Yu Chong 'er was still full of complaints. Whenever she was free, she would quarrel with Ning Fan. However, Ning Fan was obviously preoccupied and did not pay any attention to her.
Outside the room, the bright moon hung high in the sky.
Inside the room, Ning Fan sat alone on a cushion with a jade slip in his hand. He was shocked.
That jade slip was the information he obtained from Snow Country.
Not long after Elder Chu and Yun Tianjue obtained the Sovereign Sound Flying Sword, the news that shook the entire Middle State had spread across the entire country.
The ancestral statue had a strange phenomenon. Golden rays of light covered the sky. A new sovereign was born!
In the Rain World, many forces had mobilized all their forces to find out the whereabouts of the new sovereign.
Some of them were plotting against the new sovereign in order to welcome him.
Some of them were preparing to assassinate the new sovereign to please the Rain Sovereign.
"Assassinate …"
Ning Fan frowned. He just condensed his sovereign qi. He did not have the intention to compete with the Rain Sovereign for the throne at all. However, it seemed like the tiger had the intention to harm the man.
Things were developing in the direction that Ning Fan was most worried about.
The Rain Sovereign could not tolerate Ning Fan. If he finds out that Ning Fan had the sovereign qi, he might … kill him.
Fortunately, Ning Fan had refined the Heaven Deceiving Cloak. This treasure had the effect of shielding him from heaven's secrets.
In addition, the sovereign qi itself could shield him from divination. Ordinary people would not be able to divine Ning Fan's whereabouts.
Unless it was an expert who was proficient in divination like Dong Xu who had the blood of a True Immortal, he would only be able to divine some clues.
Dong Xu would not harm Ning Fan. However, he did not know if there were any experts in the Dao of Divination like Dong Xu in the Rain Palace …
Ning Fan's eyes darkened. He had to be on guard against this.
From today onwards, he must not display his sovereign qi in front of others.
Not only that, he also needed to find a way to protect himself as soon as possible to prevent others from divining his whereabouts.
"After I condensed my sovereign qi, I created a sovereign qi technique which instantly killed a Void Refinement Realm ferocious beast. However, I did not expect that this technique would have to be temporarily sealed after being used once … I have just thought of the name of this technique. It's really a pity that it has to be sealed now."
Ning Fan smiled bitterly and shook his head. A sovereign qi to suppress an immortal and a sovereign qi to suppress a Void Refinement Realm!
This technique was majestic and domineering. However, it could not be shown to others unless … Ning Fan had a Void Fragmentation Realm expert to protect him!
Yun Tianjue was a member of the Rain Palace after all. Besides, he was not related to Ning Fan at all. Ning Fan was afraid that he would not be able to ask him to protect him.
Since Mei Chen was still in the Demon Sinister Forest, it was unlikely that they would be able to invite her.
The only person Ning Fan could rely on was probably Luo You.
"I've been too busy with mundane affairs lately. I should help Little You 'er recover her soul as soon as possible. Without a Void Fragmentation Realm guardian, I can't feel at ease … "
Ning Fan's mind became more and more restless. He had a feeling that something bad would happen tonight.
Ever since he obtained the purple Karmic Luck, his perception of the Heavenly Dao had become even more acute.
It was indeed not normal for him to be so uneasy. It was better to help Luo You recover as soon as possible.
With a thought, Ning Fan's figure gradually faded and reappeared in the Profound Yin World.
He had obtained many good things on this trip.
The Heavenly Frost Cold Qi ranked third, the Divine Cold Soul, a sixth-grade Void Fire that was stronger than the Earth Vein Demonic Fire, the Serene Palace Buddha Fire, 120 bottles of dragon blood, a Divine Transformation Realm Dao Fruit … It was a pity that the Blood Demon was not a real living being. Otherwise, he would have obtained a lot of Dao Fruits from this massacre.
Ning Fan did not have the time to deal with these good things at the moment.
He patted his storage pouch and took out 207 Spirit Consolidating Pills. All of them were concocted in the Lost World Tower.
With a flash, he entered the thatched cottage in the Profound Yin World. Luo You was still sleeping on the bed. Her primordial spirit was still rather illusory.
Such a fragile body could not withstand the medicinal power of a Fifth Revolution Pill.
If she consumes too many Spirit Consolidating Pills at once, it would probably damage her primordial spirit.
Even though he desired Luo You's help, he could not bear to let her get hurt.
Ning Fan gradually gave up on the idea of forcefully waking Luo You up. He kept most of the Spirit Consolidating Pills, leaving only 12 of them. He dissolved them with clean water and helped the sleeping Luo You into his arms. Then, he carefully fed the medicinal liquid to her cherry lips.
Ning Fan was not a despicable person. However, he would not let Luo You, his benefactor, get hurt just because of an unknown danger.
"Bitter …"
In her sleep, Luo You's brows knitted together as if she was unwilling to drink the pill because it was too bitter. Then, she willfully spat out some of it.
Ning Fan's eyes revealed a strange expression. This Luo You was an expert at the same level as Yuan Yao. She was at least a True Immortal Realm expert. A dignified True Immortal Realm expert, yet she behaved like a delicate young lady when she was sleeping. It was really unimaginable.
Perhaps, many years ago, Luo You was also a young mistress of an aristocratic family. Her ten fingers did not have to do any dirty work.
However, he did not know why such a delicate young mistress would choose to cultivate a shameless cultivation method like the Yin Yang Transformation. Moreover, she even took the risk to obtain the Yin Yang Locket's acknowledgement.
"Cold …"
Luo You's primordial spirit became even more illusory. Her body became even colder. She gently hugged her shoulders and shivered slightly in Ning Fan's arms.
Under her snow-white clothes, her fair neck gave off an alluring fragrance. Below her neck, two voluptuous mounds could be vaguely seen …
A trace of lustful power spread out from Luo You's body, nearly bewitching Ning Fan's mind.
Ning Fan quickly adjusted his state of mind and no longer dared to peek at her alluring body.
Looking at Luo You's pure and flawless sleeping face, his heart softened. He took out several types of ten thousand years old spiritual fruits with a sweet and sour taste and mixed them into the medicinal liquid, making the originally bitter medicinal liquid taste sweet.
"Drink it. It's not bitter anymore."
As if he was coaxing a child, he fed her the medicinal liquid again.
After tasting the slightly sweet medicinal liquid, Luo You obediently drank it and no longer resisted.
Her illusory primordial spirit became more and more solid.
Her cold and delicate body gradually regained some warmth.
After helping Luo You wipe off the medicinal liquid from the corner of her mouth, Ning Fan placed her back on the bed and covered her with a thin blanket. His palm gently caressed her sleeping face. He did not know what he was feeling.
This lady had accompanied Ning Fan throughout his journey and they had gone through countless dangers. Without her, Ning Fan would probably have died a few times already.
In the past, the weak Ning Fan needed her protection time and time again.
Today, Ning Fan could already protect himself and travel freely in the Rain World. This time, it was Ning Fan's turn to protect Luo You.
* Rumble *
While Ning Fan was taking care of Luo You, the earth and mountains in the Profound Yin World suddenly shook.
Ning Fan was shocked. An extremely uneasy feeling shrouded his heart.
Immediately, he rushed out of the thatched cottage and looked at the dusky sky of the Profound Yin World. His expression changed greatly.
Above the blue dome of heaven, a pitch-black crack suddenly appeared. That crack eventually turned into a gigantic pitch-black eyeball.
The eyeball had just been formed. It was still empty and had no focus. It could not see Ning Fan's face clearly.
Moreover, the chaotic yin qi in the Profound Yin World made it even harder for the eyeball to see Ning Fan's face clearly.
Even so, the eyeball still managed to see Ning Fan's blurry figure!
"I found you! The new Divine Sovereign! "
* Hiss *
A cold qi poured down from his head and spread to his entire body.
Ning Fan's expression changed greatly. He recognized what this pitch-black eyeball was.
The Heavenly Eye!
According to rumors, when the divination technique is cultivated to its peak, one could open the Heavenly Eye. If the Heavenly Eye is opened, one could even peek at the heavenly secrets that were concealed by others.
Judging from the words of the owner of the Heavenly Eye, this person was obviously coming for Ning Fan!
His goal was to become the new Divine Sovereign of the Rain World!
His eyes were filled with killing intent!
His intentions … are not good!
After thinking for a while, Ning Fan gradually realized that even though the pitch-black eyeball was the Heavenly Eye Technique, it seemed to have yet to be cultivated to perfection. The eye was lifeless and he could not see his appearance at all.
Judging from the aura force of this pitch-black eyeball, the owner of this technique seemed to be a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm cultivator. His cultivation base was similar to that of a Dong Xu Realm cultivator but slightly stronger.
Ning Fan's heart sank. It seemed like this mysterious cultivator who used the Heavenly Eye Technique to spy on Ning Fan was a revered elder of the Rain Palace who was proficient in divination.
He was probably following the order of the Rain Sovereign to investigate his whereabouts so that he could kill him!
Thinking of this, Ning Fan felt even more fortunate.
The timing of this mysterious revered elder to spy on Ning Fan was not good. It happened to be when Ning Fan entered the Profound Yin World.
The Profound Yin World was a medium-sized world. Other than Ancient Chaos, no one had ever entered it before. Since Ning Fan was staying here, the owner of the Heavenly Eye would certainly not know where Ning Fan came from and where he was.
If Ning Fan did not enter the Profound Yin World tonight, the owner of the Heavenly Eye would probably see through Ning Fan in the Dragon Deciding Valley.
At that time, even if he could not see Ning Fan's appearance clearly, he would certainly find out Ning Fan's identity through the terrain of the Dragon Deciding Valley.
Two tigers cannot live on the same mountain. Ning Fan, the new sovereign of the Rain World, would probably be killed immediately!
The purple luck was indeed not bad. It helped Ning Fan avoid calamity by pursuing good fortune.
Just as Ning Fan expected, since the Heavenly Eye could not see Ning Fan's appearance clearly, it tried to see the surrounding terrain.
The owner of the Heavenly Eye knew the terrain of the Rain World like the back of his hand. As long as Ning Fan is in any place in the Rain World, he would be able to determine Ning Fan's whereabouts through the terrain. At that time, he would certainly send a few Void Fragmentation Realm experts to assassinate Ning Fan!
Unfortunately, this place was the Profound Yin World. It was a world that the owner of the Heavenly Eye had never seen before.
"M-A medium-sized world! There's no mistake. This place is a medium-sized world treasure! "
The owner of the Heavenly Eye was a little shocked.
He could not see Ning Fan's appearance clearly nor could he see his cultivation base. The only thing he could see was Ning Fan's rough figure.
He could tell that this place was a medium-sized world. However, he could not imagine what kind of expert would possess a medium-sized world treasure!
Even in the Rain Immortal World, the entire world was just a small chiliocosm.
This Profound Yin World was bigger than the entire Rain Immortal World. Even true immortals might not necessarily have a medium-sized world treasure. Normally, only immortal emperors were qualified to possess such a supreme treasure and use it to control the life and death of a world!
Strange! Strange!
The owner of the Heavenly Eye was puzzled. Wasn't the person he wanted to find and kill the new Divine Sovereign of the Rain Immortal World? Why would he track a mysterious expert who possessed a medium-sized world treasure?
"Who exactly are you?! What are you trying to do to my Rain Immortal World?! "A cold and old voice resounded from the Heavenly Eye, interrogating Ning Fan.
"…"
Ning Fan would not answer. He was not stupid.
The owner of the Heavenly Eye could not see his appearance clearly and could not determine where he was. He might not even be certain that Ning Fan was in the Rain Immortal World.
The owner of the Heavenly Eye did not have any ulterior motives when he asked the question. In fact, he just wanted to find out Ning Fan's voice.
With his voice around, it would be much easier to track Ning Fan.
Ning Fan was not a fool. Before he destroys the Heavenly Eye of the owner of the Heavenly Eye, he would not make a sound!
That's right. He wanted to destroy this person's Heavenly Eye. He wanted to completely destroy this person's immature Heavenly Eye to prevent any future troubles!
It would be troublesome to avoid being spied on by this Heavenly Eye the next time Ning Fan leaves the Profound Yin World.
He wanted to destroy this Heavenly Eye. Moreover, he could not use any of the methods he had used in the past to prevent the owner of the Heavenly Eye from finding out Ning Fan's identity.
He could not use the Wind Mist Finger and the Wind Snow Finger.
He could not use the Five Burial Dragon Techniques and the Three Fire Palms.
All of his secret techniques and abilities could not be used.
However, Ning Fan still had a method that could destroy the Heavenly Eye without exposing his identity.
The Immortal Subduing Technique!
The Heavenly Eye came for the sovereign qi in the first place. Thus, there was no need for Ning Fan to conceal his sovereign qi.
Using the sovereign qi to kill the Heavenly Eye and let the owner of the Heavenly Eye suffer the consequences of his own actions was the best choice.
From today onwards, Ning Fan would never display his sovereign qi in front of anyone. Who would know that the person whom the Rain Sovereign personally sent to track and assassinate was actually him?!
Ning Fan took a step in the void. His body shone with golden light and his sovereign qi soared.
As soon as the sovereign qi appeared, Ning Fan's killing intent locked onto the Heavenly Eye. In an instant, the Heavenly Eye was delighted at first. Then, it was filled with shock and anger.
It was delighted because it really did not track down the wrong person. The sovereign qi that Ning Fan condensed was definitely condensed with the help of the Sovereign Rain Primordial Art. From the perspective of the Heavenly Eye, Ning Fan had a great relationship with the Rain Palace after all. Otherwise, it was impossible for him to possess the primordial art that was passed down from generation to generation by the Divine Sovereigns.
The owner of the Heavenly Eye was even more certain that Ning Fan had ulterior motives and was plotting something against the Rain Palace.
However, as soon as this joy appeared, it immediately disappeared. It was because the owner of the Heavenly Eye discovered to his horror that Ning Fan actually had the intention to destroy his Heavenly Eye.
Jiang Yi wanted to withdraw his Heaven Eye. However, he was shocked to discover that while it was easy for the Heaven Eye to enter the Profound Yin World, it was impossible for it to leave!
He couldn't withdraw his Heaven Eye!
This was not strange at all. This person had used the Heavenly Eye Technique to spy on Ning Fan. Ning Fan did not know about it at all. Thus, he was able to enter the Profound Yin World.
However, Ning Fan was the lord of the Profound Yin World after all. If he controls this world and prevents the Heavenly Eye from leaving, how could it come and go as it pleases?!
"You can't break my Heaven Eye! I am the revered elder of the Vast Heaven Palace of the Rain Palace — Revered Nether! I'm a close subject of Prince Xiao Xiang, the number one Celestial Master of the Rain Palace, conferred by the Rain Sovereign himself. You can't shatter my Heavenly Eye! Otherwise, you will suffer the revenge of the entire Rain World! "
"…" Ning Fan remained silent, but his lips curved into a sneer.
So this person is Revered Ming. Ning Fan seemed to have heard of this name in Great Jin before.
He remembered that when Revered Snow came to Great Jin's aid, it was because Revered Ming had predicted that there would be a demon tide in Great Jin. Moreover, it was probably because he had predicted the relationship between Li Ban and the Demon World that Revered Snow did not dare to kill Li Ban in the end.
Revered Ming was the number one heavenly master of the Rain Palace. He was probably the only expert who could barely condense his Heaven Eye.
In other words, as long as Ning Fan destroys Revered Ming's Heaven Eye, no one would be able to see through Ning Fan's heavenly secrets anymore!
That's good enough!
Ning Fan's eyes flashed with cold light. He would not fall into the same trap twice. Revered Ming would not have a second chance to spy on Ning Fan!
He pointed his finger. Golden sovereign qi soared into the sky and turned into a gigantic golden mountain. Then, it crashed heavily at the Heaven Eye.
The sovereign qi technique that was powerful enough to kill an Early Void Refinement Realm ferocious beast was used to suppress a mere Heaven Eye.
In just an instant, the entire gigantic eye in the sky was blasted into a mist of blood by the golden mountain.
Seeing that the strange phenomenon of the Profound Yin World was gradually disappearing, Ning Fan relaxed his brows.
This time, it was really a close call.
The Heaven Eye Technique was originally a technique that only Trigram Immortals could cultivate. He did not expect that a mere revered elder of the Rain Palace would actually have such a shocking innate talent in divination.
Since this person has such a unique skill, he must be highly valued in the Rain Palace.
I wonder if the Rain Sovereign would fly into a rage after Ning Fan destroyed his Heaven Eye.
"Rain Sovereign!"
Ning Fan's eyes darkened. For the first time, he hated someone he had never met before.
What does it have to do with him that I condense my sovereign qi?!
Even if I become a sovereign, can't there be two sovereigns in the Rain World?
The three sovereigns of the Sword World and the nine sovereigns of the Devil World. Which one of them is the strongest? As for the Rain Sovereign … Come to think of it, the reason why this person suppressed Elder Chu might not be because of his identity as a member of the demon race or because he was afraid of Elder Chu's half trace of sovereign qi!
When that time comes, his position as a sovereign would be shaken.
What a jealous and capable Rain Sovereign!
One day, I will settle this score with him!
…
In a secret chamber of the Rain Palace of the Middle State, a black-robed old man was sitting on a cushion. His left eye was open while his right eye was closed. His fingertips were moving rapidly as if he was performing divination.
Outside the secret chamber, countless experts were standing guard. Among them was even the Rain Sovereign!
They were waiting for the black-robed old man to find out who the new sovereign is. If he is not one of them, it would be best to eliminate him as soon as possible!
This black-robed old man was the revered elder of the Vast Heaven Palace – Revered Ming!
"The sovereign qi of a sovereign can conceal the heavenly secrets. Revered Ming's Heaven Eye has just been awakened and it hasn't stabilized yet. Is it too much to ask him to perform divination on that person now? "The Rain Sovereign frowned and felt slightly uneasy.
"Don't worry, father. The Dark Lord is my subordinate, and I know his ability. In the Rain World, his divination ability is unparalleled. That mysterious sovereign has just condensed his sovereign qi and it isn't stable yet. He might not be able to completely conceal the heavenly secrets. It shouldn't be difficult for Revered Ming to divine his appearance, voice and origin. However, if we find out his identity, I'm afraid father will have to make a decision as soon as possible … "
Yun Xiaoxiang reminded.
The so-called "make a decision as soon as possible" was naturally to eliminate the dissident as soon as possible to avoid raising a tiger that would cause future trouble.
The Rain Sovereign nodded and said no more.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, an earth-shaking and mountain-shaking sound suddenly resounded in the secret chamber.
Immediately, an old man's miserable cry was heard.
The Rain Sovereign's expression changed. He knew that the divination had a result. However, he felt that the noise was a little too big, so he immediately pushed the door open and entered.
As soon as he entered, his expression changed immediately.
He saw Revered Ming's left eye open, which was filled with hideous and painful traces of blood. His right eye was completely shattered and black blood was gushing out!
The Heaven Eye was shattered!
"Yun Ming, what exactly happened?! Why did your Heaven Eye shatter?! Did you see clearly who that person is?! "
The Rain Sovereign was shocked. Revered Ming was his right-hand man. Although he wasn't strong, his divination skill was definitely the best in the Rain World. The shattering of the Heaven Eye was like cutting off one of the Rain Sovereign's arms!
"It's him, it's him …" Revered Ming's expression was filled with fear and resentment.
The Heaven Eye was shattered. He secretly swore that he must find other ways to find this person and make him suffer a fate worse than death.
"It's him!"
The others might not know who Revered Ming was talking about, but only the Rain Sovereign knew. As soon as he heard Revered Ming's words, his eyes revealed fear.
It's that person!
One hundred thousand years ago, before the previous Rain Sovereign passed away, he had left behind a divination using the Life Soul Technique. This divination was nurtured in the Heavenly Fate Pool and it possessed unfathomable divination abilities.
The current Rain Sovereign had taken out this divination to predict the future of the Rain World.
No. He claimed that he was predicting the future of the Rain World but that was not the case.
What he had predicted was whether he could become an immortal in this lifetime!
The answer was no!
Because the current Rain Sovereign would die and the cause of his death would be the death of an expert who was at the peak of the Nine Worlds within a thousand years!
In the divination, the Rain Sovereign only saw the back of that person. Just the back of that person almost shattered his primordial spirit.
The Rain Sovereign had predicted that this person's magic power was boundless. He had once made up his mind to find this person.
He had once sensed a trace of rain intent from this person's qi. In the deepest part of his qi, there was a trace of Rain Divine Veins.
Therefore, the Rain Sovereign thought that this person was the descendant of one of the Seventh Princes of the Rain Palace. He had once searched for this person among the eight hundred cultivation countries.
At that time, Yun Bushu had gone to Ning Fan to find this person.
Of course, the Rain Sovereign would not be kind to this person.
In the past, the descendants of the divine children that he had found from the eight hundred cultivation countries were either secretly eliminated or had their immortal veins destroyed, turning them into cripples.
Unknowingly, Ning Fan had already avoided that calamity a long time ago.
It was because of his previous divination that the Rain Sovereign was so nervous about the birth of a sovereign being in the Rain World this time.
He had a hunch that the sovereign being born this time was the mysterious expert that he had seen in the divination in the past!
This person would kill him, the dignified Rain Sovereign, in the near future.
In order to prevent that from happening, he must be one step ahead and eliminate this person!
Therefore, Revered Ming risked his Heavenly Eye to find this person.
Unfortunately, Revered Ming did not manage to see Ning Fan's appearance, qi, voice, cultivation base, origin and abilities clearly in the end.
The only thing he could see was Ning Fan's blurry figure.
That figure was exactly the same as the nemesis of the Rain Sovereign's divination. It was definitely the same person!
"I-We must find this person … Puff!"
Revered Ming spurted out blood and fell unconscious on the ground.
The Rain Sovereign's mind trembled. His nemesis had finally appeared.
"Use the power of the eight hundred cultivation countries to find this person and kill him!"
The Rain Sovereign's expression turned cold. He casually threw out a jade slip. What was imprinted on it was a blurry figure that looked extremely similar to Ning Fan.
"This … There is only a blurry back view. How are we going to find this person? Moreover, this person can condense sovereign qi. He is most likely a Void Fragmentation Realm expert. How can we kill him … "One of his trusted revered elders said with difficulty.
"Then, we will kill everyone who looks like this back view! Even if that person is a Void Fragmentation Realm expert, we must also eliminate him! "The Rain Sovereign said coldly.
Within a thousand years, he would probably die in the hands of that person.
Since it was a matter of life and death, how could the Rain Sovereign be careless? Even if he had to sacrifice everything in the Rain World, he must eliminate this person.
