Ning Fan did not give an immediate answer.
To him, whether it was Wisdom King or Marquis White Robe, they were just titles. It didn't matter which one he chose.
However, when he thought about it carefully, the Rain Sovereign purposely sent a Void Fragmentation Realm expert to bestow him with a title. It seemed like he was making a mountain out of a molehill …
There must be some deep meaning between these two titles.
"King Ming … Marquis White Robe … I see …"
There was nothing wrong with these two titles. The only difference was the difference between the two titles: King and Marquis.
In the mortal world, the king was the ruler and the marquis was the minister. In the Cultivation World, even though it was not so particular, the Rain Sovereign had purposely sent someone to bestow Ning Fan with a title and let him choose between the Royal Nobles. Thus, Ning Fan could not help but think about it further.
When he thought of the Rain Sovereign's character, Ning Fan vaguely guessed that the Rain Sovereign was testing him with his title.
It was also Ning Fan's fault for being too high-profile while cultivating the Devil Path. It was inevitable for him to arouse the Rain Sovereign's suspicion.
The Rain Sovereign was worried whether Ning Fan would become the next Yun Tianjue or Thunder Sovereign Bu Zhou. He was worried whether Ning Fan would break free from his control and become the next sovereign of the Rain World, usurping it …
Ning Fan was quite confident that if he chooses the title of King Ming, the Rain Sovereign would suspect him of having wild ambitions. Then, the Rain Sovereign would suppress and kill him …
"The Rain Sovereign's vision is too narrow … It's just a mere position of the Rain World's Divine Emperor. What's there to fight for …"
Ning Fan's heart was filled with disdain. His ambition was not in the Rain World but in the Four Heavens. He did not have the intention to fight for power with the Rain Sovereign at all.
If he became enemies with the Rain Emperor one day, it would definitely not be for the sake of a power struggle, but for some other reason.
After seeing through the Rain Sovereign's thoughts, even though Ning Fan disdained the Rain Sovereign's character, he would not choose the title of King Ming anymore as it would only make the Rain Sovereign suspicious.
Currently, his biggest enemy was Moksha Sovereign of the Devil World. There was absolutely no need for him to provoke a groundless calamity just for a title.
Moreover, he did not like the title of King Ming at all.
Zhou Ming was only his pseudonym, so he was naturally unwilling to be called Wisdom King. Even if he were to be conferred the title of King, he should be conferred the title of King Ning, shouldn't he?
After making up his mind, Ning Fan said to Yun Daogu with an indifferent tone. "The Rain Sovereign really thinks highly of me. He actually sent a Void Fragmentation Realm expert to bestow me with a title. I'm really flattered … By the way, which title does Fellow Daoist Yun think is better for me?"
"Cough cough cough … It's Fellow Daoist Zhou's choice of title. This old man doesn't dare to interfere," Yun Daoku said with a dry smile.
"Is that so … Then I choose Marquis White Robe." Ning Fan said in a seemingly casual manner.
"Marquis White Robe? Fellow Daoist, are you really going to choose Marquis White Robe?! "Yun Daoku was a little excited, a little relieved.
Fortunately … Fortunately, Ning Fan chose the title of Marquis White Robe!
If Ning Fan chooses the title of Ming King, Yun Daoku would have to obey the Rain Sovereign's order and 'secretly' plant a sinful imprint on Ning Fan to suppress the growth of his cultivation base.
Just like how the Rain Sovereign personally sealed Yun Tianjue's cultivation base in the past, he sealed Ning Fan once again …
Originally, Yun Daoku held a grudge against Ning Fan. He really hoped that Ning Fan would choose the title of Ming King and then plant a sinful imprint on Ning Fan.
Now, however, Yun Daoku was already terrified by Ning Fan's Void Ignition Technique. How would he still dare to plant a sinful imprint on Ning Fan?
If the sinful imprint fails and Ning Fan uses another immortal technique to instantly kill him, then he, Yun Daoku, would really die in vain …
"Fortunately, this young man chose the title of Marquis White Robe. In this case, I don't need to fight him anymore … This is great. This is great …"
Ning Fan noticed the subtle expressions on Yun Daoku's face and sneered inwardly. The choice of this title is indeed filled with evil intentions.
"Since Fellow Daoist has chosen the title of Marquis White Robe, then I have to announce another order from the Cloud Sovereign. Hehe. Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Zhou. The Rain Sovereign has already conferred you as one of the nine palace lords of the Rain Palace. You will be in charge of the Scarlet Heaven Palace and obey the orders of the Seventh Prince. The token of the Scarlet Heaven Palace Lord and the reward for being conferred the title of Marquis are all in this storage pouch. Fellow Daoist, please kindly accept them. "
Yun Daoku smiled apologetically. At the same time, he took out a white storage pouch that was weaved from the threads of rain and dew and passed it to Ning Fan.
The quality of this storage pouch was extremely high. Even if it receives a Void Refinement Realm attack, it might not break. The rewards inside must be precious items.
Ning Fan received the storage pouch and kept it directly. He did not even check the contents in front of Yun Daoku and said coldly. "Fellow Daoist Yun, is there anything else?" His intention to send the guest away was already obvious.
"Nothing. Nothing … Hehe. I have something else to do. I won't stay any longer. I'll leave now. Marquis White Robe, please stay. You don't have to send me off … "
Yun Daoku could not help but smile apologetically. He was eager to leave the Giant Devil Clan, a place where he would get into trouble, as soon as possible.
He was a dignified Void Fragmentation Realm expert. When had he ever lowered his voice to anyone? However, he was really scared out of his wits by Ning Fan today.
That Void Ignition Technique would forever be a nightmare in Yun Daoku's heart. He would never be able to erase it.
Yun Daoku politely cupped his fists at Ning Fan. Then, he turned around and was about to leave but Ning Fan stopped him.
"Fellow Daoist, please wait."
* Thud *
Yun Daoku's heart skipped a beat. He cursed his bad luck inwardly. He did not know why Ning Fan stopped him. He was a little afraid but he did not dare to show any dissatisfaction on his face. He forced a smile and said. "Marquis White Robe, do you have any other orders? Please tell me clearly. I will do whatever you say as long as it's within my capabilities. "
"Fellow Daoist, you don't have to be nervous. I just wanted to tell you one thing." Ning Fan was obviously smiling but Yun Daoku felt a chill.
"What is it …?"
"Actually, my real name isn't Zhou Ming but Ning Fan. Please tell the Rain Sovereign that I like the title Marquis White Robe very much. I've been living a carefree life all my life and I'm not used to being an emperor or a sovereign. However, if I'm forced into a desperate situation, I can't guarantee that I won't do anything crazy. If the Rain World doesn't betray me, I won't betray the Rain World. My ambition isn't in the Rain World! "
When Ning Fan's words entered Yun Daoku's ears, it was like a sudden clap of thunder, deeply shocking him!
Yun Daoku was not surprised by Ning Fan's real name. To cultivators, a name was just a form of address. Who didn't have a few aliases?
What shocked Yun Daoku was Ning Fan's tone and expression.
Ning Fan's words seemed to be illogical. However, Yun Daoku understood that Ning Fan was laying his cards on the table to the Rain Sovereign.
His ambition wasn't in the Rain World. He was not greedy for the position of a Void Fragmentation Realm sovereign being at all!
There was a crazed obsession in his words. This obsession could turn anyone who stood in his way into ashes!
At this moment, Yun Daoku actually felt a sense of danger from Ning Fan once again.
Even if he was a First Heavenly Layer Void Fragmentation Realm expert, once he becomes Ning Fan's enemy, he would die without a burial place!
"You can leave now!"
Ning Fan flicked his sleeves to send him off. Yun Daoku suddenly snapped back to his senses. He cupped his fists repeatedly and left in a hurry.
The moment he turned around and left, Yun Daoku clenched his teeth and swore that he would never offend Ning Fan again in his entire life!
Even though Ning Fan's current cultivation base was still lower than Yun Daoku's, he did not dare to underestimate him.
Yun Daoku had a strong feeling that Ning Fan would grow to a point where he could only look up to him one day!
* Hiss *
All of the Giant Demon Clan cultivators were dumbfounded. What did they just see?
A dignified Void Fragmentation Realm expert, Enlightened Being Dao Ku, actually apologized to Ning Fan with a smile and was actually under Ning Fan's command!
As for the others, when they heard that Ning Fan had been conferred the title of Marquis White Robe and Scarlet Heaven Palace Lord by the Rain Sovereign, each and every one of them was overjoyed. This was truly a joyous occasion. They had to celebrate it properly!
"Big Brother Biscuit, you're so cool! What kind of magic did you use earlier? Could it be an Immortal Art? You actually scared that Yun Daoku to such an extent! Teach me, I want to learn too! "
Ming Que happily jumped into Ning Fan's arms and looked at him pleadingly.
A single magic technique was able to frighten a Void Fragmentation Realm expert. This magic technique is really too powerful. I must learn it!
"You can't learn it …"
Ning Fan patted Ming Que's head and scanned the ruins within ten thousand li * (500m per li) with his eyes. His face was filled with satisfaction.
Most of these ruins were created by the Void Ignition Technique, so its power should be very good.
This time, the Void Ignition Technique that Ning Fan created was a type of Void Flame level fire control technique.
Ning Fan did not integrate the power of samsara into this magic technique. Instead, he integrated another type of power into it.
Obsession! Or perhaps … Faith!
Ning Fan integrated the determination to ignite the moonlight into the magic technique, causing the Void Ignition Technique to almost reach the level of an Immortal Art.
Without that crazy determination, the destructive power of this technique would at most be equivalent to the Mortal Void Realm.
The destructive power of the Void Ignition Technique was indeed very terrifying. However, Ning Fan helplessly realized that his current cultivation base was completely insufficient to use this technique as he wished.
The grade of the magic technique was too high and Ning Fan's cultivation base was not enough.
If he forcefully uses it, he would either be injured by the backlash or lose control of the magic technique. The black flame butterfly that he summoned would destroy both him and his enemies.
Ning Fan could only make the black flame butterfly flap its wings three times at most. It was impossible for him to flap it a fourth time.
The destructive power of the butterfly's wings thrice could scare Yun Daoku but it definitely could not kill him.
With Ning Fan's current cultivation base, he would not be able to kill a Void Fragmentation Realm expert no matter what. It was funny that Yun Daoku was too timid. He did not know that Ning Fan had yet to completely master this technique.
"I can keep the Void Ignition Technique as my trump card. I shouldn't use it unless I have no other choice, unless my cultivation base reaches a higher level …"
Ning Fan looked inside his body. During the few months when his separated soul entered the Sovereign Tomb, his body had already recovered by seventy to eighty percent with the help of the Black Star Technique.
Currently, Ning Fan only needed to consume the Seven Revolutions Life Returning Pill that the Thunder Sovereign gave him and his injuries would be completely healed.
Once his injuries are fully healed and he handles some trivial matters, he could then leave …
"Big Brother, don't you need to explain to my sisters why your real name is' Ning Fan '…?" Xu Qiuling reminded him.
"It's time for me to explain it properly. All of this has to start from a low-grade cultivation country. It's a very long story …"
Ning Fan smiled faintly. He reached out his hand and grabbed at the wind and snow. Countless ice and snow condensed into houses, snow mountains and ice rivers.
In an instant, the ruins within ten thousand li * (500m per li) were rebuilt by Ning Fan's magic technique!
However, the style of the houses and the terrain of the mountains and rivers were not the original terrain of the Giant Devil Clan. Instead, they were the mountains and rivers of Wu Country and Yue Country.
The mountains and rivers had long been engraved in Ning Fan's heart …
"Let's talk inside …"
...
In just half a month, the name of an unknown cultivator had spread across the Rain World!
'Marquis White Robe' … Ning Fan!
'Scarlet Heaven Palace Lord' … Ning Fan!
Even though the name was unfamiliar, no one dared to underestimate this Marquis White Robe who was newly conferred by the Rain Sovereign.
It was because this Marquis White Robe was none other than 'Revered Ming' Zhou Ming who made countless experts of the Rain World tremble with fear upon hearing his name!
Countless cultivators began to spread a song crazily, reminding the low-grade cultivators in their sects not to provoke this Marquis White Robe!
After those cultivators who survived the battle of one hundred sects returned to the eight hundred cultivation countries, they spread Ning Fan's terrifying devil name everywhere.
The Scarlet Heaven Palace Lord, slaughtering one hundred sects with blood!
When White Robe appears, the world will be covered in white mourning dress!
It was obviously an elegant title. However, when it fell on Ning Fan's head, it became filled with dense killing intent. It almost had the miraculous effect of stopping a child from crying.
In the Rain Palace of the Middle State, a few palace lords of the Rain Palace's branches said to the elderly man sitting on the throne unwillingly.
"Your Majesty Rain Sovereign! That Ning Fan is a devil cultivator who has killed countless people. It's fine if you confer him the title of a marquis but how can you confer him the title of the Scarlet Heaven Palace Lord?! If this person comes to the Middle State in the future, won't he be on equal footing with the cultivators of our Profound Gate?! "
"Your Majesty Rain Sovereign! This person was rude to you. How dare he say something like 'If the Rain World doesn't betray me, I won't betray the Rain World'! This young man must be punished with a small punishment! "
"Your Majesty Rain Sovereign …"
Each of the palace lords' dissatisfaction was directed at Ning Fan.
The Rain Sovereign did not pay attention to their complaints and remained silent.
His ears were still echoing with Ning Fan's words that Yun Daoku had reported to him.
"If the Rain World doesn't betray me, I won't betray the Rain World!"
"My ambition is not in the Rain World!"
The Rain Sovereign's expression was filled with uncertainty. He muttered to himself. "This young man doesn't seem to have the intention to usurp the throne … However, the human heart is unpredictable … However, this young man still has a great use …"
The Rain Sovereign's eyes gradually darkened. No one knew what he was thinking about.
...
In a country at the border of the eight hundred cultivation countries, a white-robed, middle-aged sword cultivator with one arm was walking alone in a cultivation city.
He was Yun Tianjue. He had just returned from a certain historical site. Originally, he found a fragment of the Immortal Extermination Sword but it was destroyed by the guardian void beast. It made him very unhappy.
Whoever provokes Yun Tianjue who was unhappy would die!
All of a sudden, Yun Tianjue stopped outside an inn and listened to the conversation inside with slight interest.
"Have you heard? That Revered Ming's real name is Ning Fan. Now, he has been conferred the title of the Scarlet Heaven Palace Lord of the Rain Palace and obtained the title of Marquis White Robe."
"The Scarlet Heaven Palace Lord massacred one hundred sects. Once White Robe appears, the world will be covered in white mourning dress! This Marquis White Robe must never be provoked! "
"This Ning Fan even dares to threaten the Rain Sovereign …"
All of a sudden, Yun Tianjue's cold brows relaxed slightly. His mood actually became a little better.
"So his name is Ning Fan … Ning Fan …"
...
In the Ning Clan in Hai Ning of Wu Country, a young lady in green robes was cultivating in the mountain. Suddenly, a servant hurriedly reported to her from outside the stone door.
"Miss Qing, I've found Ning Fan's whereabouts!"
"Have you found him …?" Ning Qingqing stopped circulating her qi. Her face was cold and emotionless. However, there was a hint of joy hidden deep in her eyes.
Have I finally found him …?
"Look, Miss Qing! These are all the information about Marquis White Robe, Ning Fan … "The servant passed all the information she had collected to Ning Qingqing.
Ning Qingqing ran out of the stone door and received the jade slips expectantly. However, when she scanned through the information, her face was filled with disappointment.
"It's not him … This isn't him as well …"
"In the past, he was just a mortal … How could he be a Void Refinement Realm cultivator …?"
Ning Qingqing sighed faintly. Her eyes were filled with disappointment.
"Will I never be able to repay the kindness he showed me in the past …?"
...
In Seven Apricot City in Yue Country, a young lady who looked like she was sixteen or seventeen years old was flying a kite in the snow alone. She was wearing a snow-white fox fur coat. Her facial features were plain and clean. She was missing someone.
All of a sudden, a servant hurriedly ran towards her while holding a piece of information.
"City Lord Zhihe, we have the information about Young Master!"
"Is there more information about Brother Fan …?"
The young lady's heart suddenly skipped a beat. She threw the kite away and took the jade slip. After reading the content, her eyes curved into a crescent smile. However, it turned into sadness.
"Brother Fan … Can you come back before I form my core …? I don't want to forget you … I can't bear to cut off my Heart Devil because it's you …"
That silly little girl in the past was actually close to forming her core and had even become the city lord of Seven Apricot City and Ning City!
She was waiting for Ning Fan's return in her hometown. Waiting for the sound of the wind chimes of Ling Lan to come back …
No matter how many years she has to wait …
