The Ancient Devils cultivated their bodies, the Ancient Demons cultivated their thoughts, and the Ancient Gods cultivated their techniques.
Ning Fan could guess that the cultivation level of an ancient demon must be closely related to the strength of one's spirit sense. However, he did not know the specific name of the cultivation level.
Each of the demon cultivators of Si Kong Island flew into the sky and looked at Ning Fan who was standing at the bow of the silver boat from afar. They did not even dare to breathe loudly in fear.
He looked at Bright Sparrow with an abnormally respectful gaze.
In particular, one of the dark-skinned youths looked at Bright Sparrow with reverence and respect from the bottom of his heart.
The youth's bone age was less than fifteen and his cultivation level was only at the tenth level of the Vein Opening Realm. However, because he was a winged demon, he had wings on his back and was able to fly. He came to welcome Bright Sparrow.
However, he was flying at the back of the group. Obviously, it was due to his low status that he was not qualified to worship Bright Sparrow at such a close distance.
Ning Fan's eyes scanned across the tens of thousands of demon cultivators on the demon island. When his eyes landed on the young man, he paid attention to him for a moment. This young man gave Ning Fans a strange feeling, but he couldn't tell what it was exactly.
"Welcome back, Island Lord, High Priestess! May I know why Island Master is traveling with Revered Ming and the others? "
A few older experts of the demon island walked out from the crowd and asked Bright Sparrow cautiously. Ning Fan's notoriety was too great. They would not feel at ease if they did not find out his purpose for coming here.
"Revered Ming is this island lord's elder brother. He is a Fifth Revolution Biscuit Refinement Master. Out of respect for this island lord, he will definitely not harm a single blade of grass or tree of Si Kong Island. You don't have to be so afraid of him."
Ming Que's words were clearly heard by countless demon cultivators on the demon islands. As soon as they heard that Ning Fan was not an enemy but Ming Que's elder brother, all the cultivators of the demon island felt relieved. All of them felt extremely relieved.
"So it turns out that Revered Ming is the elder brother of the Island Lord, a friend and not an enemy … Hehe, that's good, that's good."
Yes, that's good. If Ning Fan is Si Kong Island's enemy and not a friend, he might just massacre everyone on the island. There certainly would not be a single survivor on the island.
Who was Ning Fan? He was a ruthless being who could even suppress the devil clan of the hidden ocean. A mere Si Kong Demon Island naturally would not dare to provoke him.
Each of the cultivators of the demon island heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, the way they looked at Ning Fan became even more respectful.
Seeing how respectful the cultivators of the demon island were to Ning Fan, Ming Que nodded her head in satisfaction. Then, she turned to Old Man Qu behind her and instructed him.
"Grandpa Qu, I'll give you ten days to prepare everything needed for the 'Ancestral Sacrifice'. Ten days later, this island master will use the Ancestral Sacrifice Ceremony to officially accept the power of inheritance. There must be no mistakes. "Her tone was young, but her words were quite dignified.
"Ten days? Yes! "Old Man Qu didn't dare to be negligent and immediately ordered people to prepare the sacrificial items.
When all the demon cultivators on the demon island heard that Bright Sparrow was about to receive Sikong's inheritance, they immediately cheered and danced.
Letting Bright Sparrow accept Sikong's inheritance was the hope of all the demon cultivators on the demon island. In the past, Old Man Qu didn't dare to let Bright Sparrow accept the inheritance because her cultivation was still weak. He was worried that she wouldn't be able to withstand the power of the inheritance.
However, now that Ming Que had Ning Fan to protect her, the success rate of her receiving the inheritance was naturally extremely high. There were many safety issues that she did not need to worry about.
Only the dark-skinned youth immediately stopped Ming Que loudly when he heard that she wanted to accept Sikong's inheritance. "No! You cannot accept the inheritance! "
"How dare you! You are just a demon slave who is responsible for guarding the princess statue. How dare you be rude to the island master? Do you know what punishment you deserve?! "
As soon as they heard the arrogant words of the youth, many Gold Core Realm and Nascent Soul Realm experts immediately reprimanded him sternly.
"Alright, alright! A group of old men are bullying a young man. Don't you feel ashamed? All of you, disperse now. This island master wants some peace and quiet! "
As soon as Bright Sparrow gave her order, no one dared to reprimand the dark-skinned youth anymore. The group of cultivators on the demon island dispersed one after another. Even the group of Divine Transformation Realm slaves that she had captured began to get busy, preparing for the Ancestral Sacrifice Ceremony that would take place ten days later.
When the dark-skinned youth saw that he had escaped a calamity, he heaved a huge sigh of relief. He looked at Bright Sparrow gratefully and gritted his teeth, as if he wanted to tell her something.
However, Bright Sparrow did not pay any attention to this youth at all. Her eyes were only focused on Ning Fan. Thus, she naturally ignored his expression.
After dismissing all the old men, Bright Sparrow happily held Ning Fan's hand and led Su Yan to tour the Si Kong Demon Island.
"Brother Biscuit, can you accompany Bright Sparrow to play on the island for a few days?" Bright Sparrow pleaded with a soft voice. Her expression was naive and innocent. None of the dignified aura that she had when she gave orders to the demon cultivators in the past could be seen.
In the past, Bright Sparrow was just a naive little pill devil. Now, after going through the trials of life and death in the Endless Sea, she already knew how to read people's minds. Moreover, after becoming the island lord of Si Kong Demon Island, she accumulated the dignity of an island lord. At the same time, she also developed a two-faced personality.
However, no matter what, she would always be the naive and lively pill devil in front of Ning Fan. She would never change.
"Alright."
Ning Fan naturally would not reject Bright Sparrow's request. However, before he left, he gave the dark-skinned youth a meaningful look and sent him some instructions using his secret voice transmission.
When the youth heard Ning Fan's instructions, his expression immediately changed. He was a little scared but he quickly nodded his head, not daring to reject Ning Fan's order.
As for Ning Fan, he spent two consecutive days on the Si Kong Demon Island with Bright Sparrow and Su Yan.
During these two days, Ning Fan asked Bright Sparrow many questions related to the ancient demon realm without holding back. However, he did not get any satisfactory answers.
There was nothing he could do about it. Bright Sparrow was completely clueless about things like 'ancient demons' and 'ancient devils'. She did not know any information at all.
Even though there was a small amount of ancient demon power in her body, she had no idea where this power came from.
However, Ming Que told Ning Fan that she had once dreamt of a power similar to that of an ancient demon.
The obtaining of this power seemed to be closely related to the 'Ancestral Sacrifice' of each major demon race. One needed to obtain some kind of 'demon blood imprint' through the Ancestral Sacrifice in order to truly obtain this power. However, Ning Fan did not know the details.
As a matter of fact, even though Bright Sparrow's body had some ancient demon power, she did not have that special demon blood imprint. Thus, she could not be considered as a true ancient demon.
The Ancestral Sacrifice was different from the ordinary sacrificial ritual of the demon race. It could only be carried out with the help of a special item left behind by an ancestral demon.
This time, Bright Sparrow needed to carry out the Ancestral Sacrifice in order to obtain Si Cang's inherited power.
As for the item left behind by the ancestral demon, it was the gigantic statue of a goddess.
Even though Ning Fan did not manage to figure out the name of the ancient demon realm and the cultivation method, he more or less understood some things.
In order to obtain the Fu Li Demon Blood and become an ancient demon, he would need at least one item left behind by the ancestors of the Fu Li Race. Besides, through the Ancestral Sacrifice Ceremony, he could obtain a special power similar to the ancestral talisman of the devil race. Only then could he become a true ancient demon.
Unfortunately, the Fu Li Race had been extinct for a long time. Perhaps there were no longer any items left behind by the ancestors of the Fu Li Race in this world. Even if Ning Fan figured out the method to become an ancient demon, he would not be able to cultivate into an ancient demon.
After understanding this, Ning Fan no longer asked any more questions about ancient demons. He simply accompanied Bright Sparrow to play for two days.
Two days later, under the strong request of Old Man Qu, Bright Sparrow began to enter seclusion to cultivate so that she could obtain the inheritance in her best condition.
The place where she cultivated in seclusion was a quiet and cold pond. It had the miraculous effect of refining her demon power.
Ning Fan was naturally worried about Bright Sparrow soaking in the pond alone. Thus, he asked Su Yan to accompany her in the bath and take care of her while she was at it.
As for Ning Fan, he returned to the guest house on the demon island. He was also preparing for the ancient demon inheritance ceremony that would take place eight days later.
The guest house that he was staying in was not far from the quiet pond where Bright Sparrow and Su Yan were in seclusion. If anything happens to the two ladies, Ning Fan could come to their aid at any time.
It was a guest house that was built by hollowing out a gigantic tree. It was surrounded by demon-spotted bamboos, which were unique to Si Kong Island. They emitted a refreshing fragrance of bamboo leaves.
In the bamboo forest outside the guest house, a dark-skinned young man was standing respectfully. He had been waiting for Ning Fan outside the guest house for two days. He was the young man who dissuaded Bright Sparrow from accepting the inheritance that day.
When Ning Fan arrived at the guest house, the young man's body immediately trembled. His expression was a little fearful. Obviously, he was afraid of Ning Fan.
"S-Greetings to Revered Ming." The young man knelt on the ground with a thud and kowtowed to Ning Fan a few times.
"Mm." Ning Fan casually flicked his sleeve. A gust of wind was generated from his sleeve and he helped the young man to his feet.
Two days ago, Ning Fan told the young man to wait for him at the guest house because he had something to ask him personally.
As soon as the young man heard that Ning Fan had something to ask him, how would he dare to be negligent? Even though his cultivation base was low, he had lived in the Internal Endless Sea after all. He had heard many rumors about Ning Fan's cold-bloodedness in killing people. Thus, he was afraid of Ning Fan to the core.
Originally, he was one of the demon slaves who guarded the princess statue. Thus, he was not allowed to leave his post without permission.
However, when some deacons and elders heard that Ning Fan wanted to see him, they immediately relieved him of all his duties and ordered him to wait for Ning Fan at the guest house. They did not assign him any other tasks anymore.
There were even a few elders of the demon island who told the young man that if Ning Fan asks him any questions, he must tell him everything he knows. Even if Ning Fan asks him about the secrets of the demon island, he must not hide anything from him.
The young man's heart was filled with anxiety. He did not know what Ning Fan wanted to ask him by summoning him here.
When he thought that he was facing a great devil lord whose name shook the entire Rain World, he became even more nervous. His legs even began to tremble a little.
"Don't be nervous. I have something to ask you. You just need to answer me truthfully. If you answer me truthfully, I won't harm your life. Instead, I will give you some pills."
"Pills?! Yes. Senior, please ask me anything you want. I will certainly tell you everything I know! " As soon as he heard that there would be pills as a reward, the young man's eyes immediately burned with passion. His fear towards Ning Fan also lessened a little.
With the young man's lowly identity as a demon slave, Ning Fan could just directly search his soul and memories if he wanted to know something. There was no need for him to ask unnecessary questions.
No one would care about a mere demon slave no matter what kind of harm he suffers. This was the cruel reality of the cultivation world.
For example, there were always demon slaves who mysteriously disappeared recently but no one seriously investigated them.
If it were other devil cultivators who wanted to know something, perhaps they would directly search the young man's soul and memories.
However, Ning Fan was not that cruel. Moreover, he even promised to give the young man a reward for answering his questions. This made the young man excited and he could not help but feel that Ning Fan was not as cold-blooded and heartless as the rumors in the outside world said.
"What's your name? What position do you hold on Si Kong Demon Island? "
"My name is Lin Yu. I'm one of the demon slaves who guard the princess statue." Lin Yu said respectfully.
"Why did you stop Ming Que from carrying out the ancestral sacrifice inheritance that day? And … "Ning Fan paused for a moment and his expression suddenly turned fierce." Where did you get the beast tooth pendant on your neck?! "
Ning Fan paid some attention to the young man that day. Now that he was inspecting him from a close distance, he realized that there was an extremely weak trace of ancient demon power in the young man's body. This power came from the beast tooth pendant on the young man's neck.
"I found this beast tooth by accident. I made it into a pendant on my own. I didn't steal it. Please believe me, Senior! As for the reason why I stopped Island Lord from accepting the inheritance, it was because … Because … "When the young man saw Ning Fan's fierce eyes, he immediately became afraid.
"Because of what?!"
"It's because I was guarding the princess statue one night. However, I saw some 'unclean things' below the statue. It seemed to be some kind of demon creature. It devoured a few demon slaves and entered the statue in a flash. The beast tooth pendant on the pendant was picked up at that time. It was left behind by that demon creature. I believe that there must be a demon living inside the statue now. If Island Lord accepts the inheritance recklessly, you might be in danger … "The young man's voice was trembling but his expression was sincere. There was no hint of pretense.
"Demon creature?"
Ning Fan furrowed his brows. How could there be a demon living in a perfectly fine statue?
The statue was filled with endless power of joss flames. Even Ning Fan's spirit sense could not penetrate into the statue. What kind of demon was so powerful that it could actually enter the statue?
Recalling the day when he entered the demon island, Ning Fan noticed that the eyes of the statue flickered strangely.
Then, he thought that the demon would leave behind a beast tooth that contained ancient demon power … Ning Fan's eyes suddenly narrowed.
"Could it be that there is an ancient demon living inside the statue?!"
Ning Fan's eyes swept across the beast tooth pendant of the young man and felt a trace of Void Pierce Stage Qi from it.
If there is really an ancient demon inside the statue, it must be a Void Pierce Stage ancient demon …
"Here is a bottle of Second Revolution Pills. It can help you break through to the Harmonious Spirit realm."
Ning Fan patted his storage pouch and took out a bottle of pills. He threw it to the young man and asked him to leave.
As soon as the young man saw the pills in the bottle, he immediately revealed a look of surprise. After thanking Ning Fan profusely, he left.
Ning Fan, on the other hand, went to the princess statue to investigate for a long time. However, he still could not penetrate the statue with his spirit sense. He could not find out anything about the ancient demon but he could really sense the residual qi of a Void Pierce Stage expert in the statue.
That qi was extremely faint. Ordinary people would not be able to sense it. Only High Revolution Pill Masters with sharp senses like Ning Fan could sense it.
That qi contained an extremely faint ancient demon qi.
"There really is an ancient demon inside the statue. This ancient demon is hiding inside the statue. Outsiders can't enter the statue. Unless I destroy the statue, I won't be able to force him out … Ming Que still needs the power of inheritance from the statue. Thus, I naturally can't destroy the statue. In that case, if this ancient demon doesn't show up on his own, I won't be able to meet him. "
"I wonder if this ancient demon will cause any changes when Ming Que receives the inheritance eight days later … An ancient demon at the Void Pierce Stage can't be underestimated … If he doesn't have the intention to harm Ming Que, I won't bother to attack him. However, if he dares to cause any trouble … he will certainly die! "
...
Inside the statue, a demonic beast in the form of a white tiger was hiding and cultivating under a ball of pure white joss flame power.
The demonic beast's body emitted a Void Pierce Stage aura force. It seemed to be taking a nap. Its mouth was stained with the blood and fur of a living human.
"Damn it. There seem to be two experts on the demon island. Their qi is not much weaker than mine. Fortunately, they haven't discovered my existence yet. However, it seems like I can't leave the statue and eat living humans easily … "
The two experts were obviously referring to Ning Fan and Su Yan.
Even though this white tiger was strong, it seemed to be rather timid.
Its cultivation level was obviously higher than Su Yan and Ning Fan's but it seemed to be extremely afraid of them.
"It seems like the Primogenitor Ceremony is about to officially begin. * Sigh * Even though I can hide inside the statue and borrow the joss flame power to cultivate, I can't directly devour the joss flame power. These joss flames are all for the master of the statue. Normally, only the master of the statue can absorb the joss flame power. But … "
The white tiger suddenly chuckled coldly.
"The one who is going to receive the joss flame inheritance this time is the island lord of this demon island. He's just a Divine Transformation Realm junior and is extremely easy to deal with. After this junior absorbs the joss flame inheritance from the statue, I will eat him again and indirectly obtain the joss flame power. The inheritance will begin eight days later. At that time, I will make my move on that junior! "
