No one knew how long the true body of the Minluo Treant had been trapped in the Dark Sparrow's Grave.
He was just a Void Fragmentation Realm demon cultivator. His lifespan should have come to an end a long time ago.
Fortunately, the Mingluo Dryad had created a heaven-defying method to transform his body into a tree. He had completely cultivated into a tree and lost the possibility of turning back into a human.
Ming Luo extracted his demon soul and cultivated countless incarnations, using them to move around in Dark Sparrow's Grave.
Because his main body had degenerated into a tree, his divine abilities were greatly reduced, but his lifespan wasn't evergreen. After enduring for a long time, he could still advance through growth.
As time passed, Treant Min Luo's cultivation increased day by day. Eventually, his true body 'grew' to the level of an independent demon.
Although his true form was a rogue demon, he was a rogue demon that couldn't move or transform. His roots were rooted in Dark Sparrow's Grave, and he would never be able to leave it.
If he burned his demon soul and risked his life to escape, Ming Luo would be able to leave the Dark Sparrow's Grave in a very short period of time, but he would certainly turn into ashes after that.
There might be a way for Ming Luo to turn back into a demon tree and leave the Dark Sparrow's Grave, but unfortunately, Ning Fan didn't know about it.
The Heavenly Dao was fair. The Mingluo Treant had survived countless years with his tree body, so the chance of him transforming into a demon again was naturally slim.
The only thing he could do was to bring the clone of Ming Luo Treant out of the grave.
This was an imitation of Bone Sovereign's method. Bone Sovereign had cultivated his True Soul Incarnation, but his main body couldn't leave the Demon Sinister Forest. Hence, he used his True Soul Incarnation to sneak out.
Ning Fan followed suit. He only needed to concoct some Low Grade Sixth Revolution True Soul Pills for Ming Luo to help him condense a True Soul Clone in the shortest time possible.
Ming Luo Treant's true soul was different from Bone Sovereign's. Bone Sovereign's true body was unharmed while his true soul could move freely in the outside world after leaving the Demon Sinister Forest.
Ming Luo's main body, on the other hand, had degenerated into a tree. His clone could not be too far away from his main body. Otherwise, it would be like a fallen leaf that would never be able to return to the branch and could only wither and die …
Ming Luo's True Soul Doppelganger could only move within the radius of fifty million miles of Yue Country.
In the Dark Sparrow's Grave, Ning Fan told Ming Luo all the plans and both of them made an agreement.
After that, Ning Fan took the nine Void Fragmentation Realm beast corpses from Ming Luo's hands as well as a large number of spiritual herbs that were ten thousand years and above. Then, he bid farewell and left.
He did not take Bright Sparrow away immediately.
Ming Que and Min Luo Treant had been separated for many years. Now that they were reunited, they would definitely have a lot of things to talk about.
Jing Jing returned to Seven Apricot City alone. Seeing the changes in Seven Apricot City, Ning Fan gradually relaxed.
The people of the Seven Apricot Four Clans were organized into the Seven Apricot Branch Temples by Su Yan and Yue Lingkong.
It was divided into the Refining Hall, Alchemy Hall, Physique Cultivation Hall, Sword Cultivation Hall, Demonic Cultivation Hall …
The Three Black Demon Armies became the Black Demon Hall.
Sinister Sparrow Sect submitted to Seven Apricot City and became Sinister Sparrow Palace.
The Fire Cloud Sect submitted to Seven Apricot City and became the Fire Cloud Hall.
All the major sects were still in their old locations. It should be said that the current Yue Country after the merger was the sphere of influence of Seven Apricot City.
Ning Fan did not ask about the matters related to the development of his forces. Instead, he let his women be in charge of it. He trusted them very much.
In the Cauldron World, the Ning family's female guard was also building the interface like wildfire.
Everyone had their own things to do. Of course, there were also a few extremely bored women who passed their days leisurely.
For example, Zhi He, Mu Xiao Huan, Bai Su, Feng Xueyan …
Ning Fan stood in the middle of the snowy Seven Apricot City. Looking back at the mortal world, he felt as if he was in a dream.
He could finally have some peace and stay in Seven Apricot City for a period of time. There were no battles or battles. There was only peace and tranquility.
"Starting from the Void Refinement Realm, the advancement of each level is extremely difficult. An ordinary Void Glimpse Stage cultivator would need at least one thousand years to break through to the Void Inquiry Stage. Those with slightly inferior innate talents might need several thousand years. Those with slightly inferior Dao Comprehension might not be able to attain the Void Inquiry Stage in their entire lives … "
"I want ten years to reach the Void Inquiry Stage!"
Ning Fan held the blood wine gourd in his hand. Ten years was the time needed for the blood wine to be brewed!
He placed the blood essence of the nine Void Fragmentation Realm ferocious beasts into the Xuan Wei Blood Gourd. Ten years later, when the blood wine is brewed, all of this blood wine would be a great help to Ning Fan's breakthrough to the Void Inquiry Stage!
"It will take ten years for the wine to be brewed. During these ten years, I still have many things to do. For example, improving my cultivation method, improving my spirit sense and also … preparing to resist the Void Inquiry Stage heavenly tribulation! "
"Before that, I must first concoct the True Yang Pill and True Soul Pill and bring Xiao Hei and the Ming Luo Tree Spirit back to Seven Apricot City …"
Ning Fan began to concoct the True Yang Pill and True Soul Pill.
Both of them were Low Grade Sixth Revolution Pills. It was not easy for Ning Fan to concoct them.
During the day, Ning Fan went into the dark golden pagoda to concoct two types of pills.
When night fell, he returned to Seven Apricot City to rest and accompany the girls for a good night.
After a month, Ning Fan had concocted two True Yang Pills and twenty True Soul Pills. Then, he returned to the Demon Sinister Forest and the Dark Sparrow's Grave.
Ten days later, when he returned to Seven Apricot City, he brought back two people and a sable.
Ming Luo's True Soul Avatar had the cultivation base of the Fifth Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm. He promised Ning Fan to protect Seven Apricot City, but he did not like the clamor of Seven Apricot City. Thus, he stayed alone in a barren mountain a thousand li away.
Mu Xiaoliang was one of the three souls of Mu Weiliang. Soon, she became good sisters with Zhi He and Mu Xiao Huan. They were as close as sisters.
From then on, Mu Xiaoliang joined Seven Apricot City's casual eating and drinking team.
The three souls had been found, and all that was left was Mu Weiliang's seven spirits …
Mei Chen did not appear in her human form. Instead, she stayed in Seven Apricot City as a small sable.
She would stay in Ning Fan's empty room during the day. When Ning Fan returned at night, she would leave angrily. She did not want to meet Ning Fan face to face, as if she was still in a fit of pique.
Others only thought that the small sable was Ning Fan's demon pet. Only Su Yan and a few other girls knew Mei Chen's true identity. She was a Void Fragmentation Realm demon cultivator.
Ever since Seven Apricot City had the protection of Mei Chen and Ming Luo, Ning Fan felt more at ease and gradually got used to the life in Seven Apricot City.
His heart gradually calmed down. This kind of calmness was something that he had never felt before when he stepped into the bloody sea of cultivation.
He stayed in Seven Apricot City for ten years!
Ten years of silence, ten years of peace, ten years of tranquility and ten years of companionship.
He had not killed a single person for ten years. He had almost forgotten that he was once a devil lord that rampaged across the Rain World.
Every day, Ning Fan would only spend half a day cultivating and concocting pills. The other half of the day would be spent in meditation.
Occasionally, he would disappear for a few days to half a month, burying his head in the pagoda to cultivate.
Sometimes, he would stay in Seven Apricot City for more than ten days in a row.
Ten years had passed in the outside world and half of the time in the pagoda had been spent. Ning Fan had cultivated in the seventh floor of the dark golden pagoda for more than four hundred years.
During the time he spent cultivating in the pagoda, Ning Fan resumed his cultivation of the Black Devil Art as a fire elemental cultivation method. At the same time, he carefully cultivated the cultivation method of the Divine Sovereign of the Rain World – the Sovereign Rain Primordial Art as an ice elemental cultivation method.
He concocted the Void Consuming Pill to consume the Void Fragmentation Realm Dao Fruit. However, he did not consume it immediately. Instead, he waited for the Blood Wine to be brewed before consuming it.
He used the flesh and blood of nine Void Fragmentation Realm ferocious beasts to concoct Fierce Cultivation Pills. However, the gigantic bodies of the nine ferocious beasts were only enough to concoct nine Fierce Cultivation Pills.
Ning Fan also used the corpses of the Realm Beasts to concoct the tenth Fierce Cultivation Pill.
The quality of this tenth Fierce Cultivation Pill was obviously ten times better than the previous nine pills. After all, the energy contained in the flesh and blood of the Realm Beasts was far beyond that of the Void Fragmentation Realm ferocious beasts.
He consumed ten Fierce Cultivation Pills in succession and began to concoct pills to eat the Sense Beads of Void Refinement Realm and Void Fragmentation Realm ghosts.
Ning Fan's spirit sense was improving day by day. However, no one knew exactly what level his spirit sense had reached.
It was the third year that Ning Fan stayed in Seven Apricot City. A vast spirit sense quietly swept across the four hundred thousand li * radius of Seven Apricot City.
In the entire Yue Country, other than Mei Chen and Ming Luo, no one else noticed this Divine Sense sweep past.
"Grand Void Grade spirit sense … This young man's cultivation base is just at the Void Glimpse Stage but his spirit sense has actually improved to such a level!" In the desolate mountain, Ming Luo's eyes were filled with shock.
After the improvement of his spirit sense was completed and his cultivation method had also reached a bottleneck, Ning Fan began to concoct True Void Pill, Wondrous Sound Pill and other Sixth Revolution Pills that could increase his magic power.
He had obtained a large amount of spirit herbs from the Demon Sinister Forest and the Dark Sparrow's Grave, enough for him to squander for ten years.
He would refine dan in the day and return to Seven Apricot City to rest at night. Time passed day by day. His Fa Li increased bit by bit and his alchemy skills also improved bit by bit.
His medicine soul was extremely strong to begin with, and it was not far from the Mid Grade Sixth Revolution medicine soul.
In the seventh year of the outside world, a vast medicine soul power suddenly appeared in Seven Apricot City.
In a barren mountain thousands of miles away, the Minluo Treant was shocked once again.
"Mid Sixth Revolution Pill Refinement Technique! This young man's bone age is still young but his alchemy skills have already reached such a high level! "
After spending more than four hundred years in the tower, Ning Fan had almost used up all the fifty thousand years and one hundred thousand years old spiritual herbs he had. After concocting a Void Inquiry Pill that could increase his Void Inquiry Stage comprehension, he no longer concocted any other pills.
For the remaining time, he no longer entered the tower. Instead, he stayed in Seven Apricot City and Yue Country. He picked up the Dao of Formations and began to make Mortal Void Realm formation discs.
All of these discs were grand defensive formations prepared for transcending the Void Inquiry Stage heavenly tribulation.
He refined the Star Positioning Plate again and integrated many formations into it. It was also to prepare for transcending the heavenly tribulation.
Ning Fan knew that he had completely offended the Heavenly Dao. The heavenly tribulation this time would be extremely terrifying. He would not find it strange even if a Void Fragmentation Realm heavenly tribulation befalls him.
In the last three years, Ning Fan used a large number of Dao Crystals to make one hundred Mortal Void Grand Formation discs.
There were only two thousand Dao Crystals left which was equivalent to ten billion immortal jade.
When these one hundred discs were activated at the same time, the formation light that they emitted was extremely terrifying. Even an old monster at the First Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm would not be able to break the formation light in a short period of time.
Ning Fan distributed the powerful magic treasures that he had obtained from killing for many years to the ladies, leaving only a majority of the magic treasures that were slightly inferior. He was prepared to discard all of them in order to transcend the heavenly tribulation …
Time passed day by day. Ten years had passed and the blood wine was brewed.
For ten whole years, Ning Fan lived a peaceful life in the snow of Seven Apricot City.
For ten whole years, Ning Fan's hands were not stained with blood and he did not kill a single person.
Ten years of preparation was just to break through to the Void Inquiry Stage!
After the blood wine was brewed, Ning Fan gave his ladies some instructions and left Seven Apricot City alone.
He did not want to repeat Old Devil's mistake. He would not transcend the heavenly tribulation in Seven Apricot City.
Since he knew that the heavenly tribulation this time would be extremely terrifying, he wanted to find a secluded and spacious place to set up one hundred layers of Void Rank grand formations and transcend the heavenly tribulation alone!
Ning Fan traveled all the way to the south. After passing through more than ten cultivation countries, he finally arrived at the Southern Gazing Sea of the Rain World.
The Endless Sea was located in the extreme east of the Rain World while the Southern Gazing Sea was located in the extreme south of the Rain World.
Yue Country was located in the southeastern continent of the Rain World. To a cultivator at Ning Fan's level, it would not take him too much time to travel from Yue Country to these two sea regions.
There were not as many cultivators in the Southern Gazing Sea as there were in the Endless Sea. The sea region was extremely vast but there were rarely any cultivators cultivating there.
After Ning Fan arrived at the Southern Gazing Sea, he traveled all the way to the south. Eventually, he chose a deserted island with a radius of one million li * (500m per li) and set up one hundred layers of Mortal Void Grand Formations on the island.
He sat cross-legged on the peak of a lone mountain on the deserted island and adjusted his condition. Once he was in his best condition, he would consume the Void Fragmentation Realm Dao Fruit, blood wine and Void Inquiry Pill in one go and break through to the Void Inquiry Stage!
...
Tens of millions of li * (500m per li) away from the deserted island, there was a gloomy cave residence that was filled with piles of white bones on a certain island.
Inside the cave residence, three scantily clad female cultivators were surrounding a crystal ball magic treasure, peeking at the scene that was tens of millions of li * (500m per li) away.
If there were Void Refinement cultivators who had lived in the Southern Gazing Sea for a long time, they would definitely recognize who these three female cultivators were at first glance and would definitely not dare to provoke them.
These three female cultivators were the infamous' Three Fairies Feng Luan 'of the Southern Gazing Sea. They were all demonic women with the demonic bloodline of the Phoenix Clan, and they were the three overlords of the Southern Gazing Sea!
The yao arts that the three females cultivated were extremely vicious. They needed to eat large numbers of males to increase their cultivation.
Among the three women, one of them was at the Absolute Void Stage while the other two were at the Void Pierce Stage.
Even though the demon power of the three women was weak due to eating humans repeatedly, their strength was still not to be underestimated. When the three of them joined forces, they had once killed a few Void Refinement Realm experts of the Rain World.
Later on, the three women were ordered by the Rain Palace not to leave the Southern Ocean Sea for the rest of their lives. They were only allowed to kill within the Southern Ocean Sea.
Because of the three immortals who liked to eat men, few cultivators were willing to come to the Southern Gazing Sea to cultivate.
The three immortals had not tasted the flesh of a Void Refinement Realm male for many years …
"This white-robed man looks quite handsome. If the three of us can capture him, we can pluck his flesh first before we eat and kill him!" A Void Pierce Stage female demon looked at Ning Fan in the crystal ball and licked her red lips with her fragrant tongue, as if she was looking at a plate of delicious food. Her beautiful eyes flickered with dark green light.
"We can't. Didn't you see it? The one hundred layers of formation light that he set up on the barren island are all at the Mortal Void Realm! Putting aside the fact that he could get his hands on so many Mortal Void Realm formation discs, he must be someone with a strong background. Just the fact that he has the protection of these one hundred layers of formation light means that we definitely won't be able to break through the formation light and capture him! "Another Void Pierce Stage female demon said worriedly.
"I'm not afraid. The reason why this person appeared in the Southern Gazing Sea and set up one hundred layers of Mortal Void Realm formation light on the barren island is probably because he wants to transcend his tribulation. Heh. This person's cultivation base is just at the Void Glimpse Stage. He is probably going to break through to the Void Inquiry Stage and transcend his tribulation. It's just a Void Inquiry Stage tribulation but he actually prepared so many formation discs. This is enough to prove that this person is an extremely cowardly person. It also means that his combat power is low … As long as the three of us wait for him to complete his tribulation, regardless of whether he succeeds in breaking through to the Void Inquiry Stage or not, he will definitely be severely injured and slack off. When that time comes, we can suddenly launch a sneak attack and capture him without spilling a single drop of blood. Whether he dies or cuts into pieces, isn't it all up to us?! "
As soon as the female demon of the Absolute Void Realm said that, her eyes flashed with dark green demonic light and she licked her lips.
She had been living in the Southern Gazing Sea for a long time and had never stepped into the continent of the Rain World. Thus, she did not know Ning Fan's identity.
Even if she knew, she would not be afraid of a Void Glimpse Stage male given her Absolute Void Stage cultivation base. Given her unscrupulous personality, she would not be afraid of any force either.
"Let's wait for him to transcend his tribulation! The moment he completes his tribulation will be the moment of his death! He's just a Void Glimpse Stage cultivator … Hehehe … "The female demon of the Absolute Void Realm sneered coldly. She did not put Ning Fan in her eyes at all.
...
On the summit of a lone mountain on the barren island, Ning Fan suddenly opened his eyes which glinted with cold light.
"Interesting. I have only stopped killing for ten years and the Void Refinement Realm cultivators in the Rain World have already forgotten about my ferocious name …"
Ning Fan spread his spirit sense four hundred thousand li * (500m per li) but he did not discover any human figures within his range. However, he could vaguely feel that he was being spied on.
He closed his eyes and carefully sensed his surroundings. He could vaguely sense that the ones who were spying on him were three Void Refinement Realm cultivators.
When he took a closer look, he realized that the three auras were clearly the auras of women. They did not conceal their killing intent towards Ning Fan at all.
"Three human cauldrons that came to my doorstep, huh? That's good. It saves me the trouble of catching human cauldrons."
"After I successfully transcend my tribulation, I will use the cultivation bases of these three women to help me stabilize my Void Inquiry Stage cultivation base!"
