Ning Fan brought Yu Chong 'er to the cloud mountain of the Scarlet Heaven Territory. At the same time, he took out a cloth bag and kept the hundreds of thousands of cloud lion puppets. He did not even spare a glance at the cultivators of the Scarlet Heaven Palace.
His name was the palace lord of the Scarlet Heaven Palace. However, everyone in the palace was Yun Jinghong's trusted subordinates. None of them could be used.
These puppets could be put to good use. It would be a good choice to leave them to Yue Country as guards.
At ninety thousand zhang * (3.33m per zhang) high in the sky, the escaping light streaked across the vast sky. Beside their ears was a sea of clouds while below their feet was a cultivation city the size of an ant.
Because the cloud lions had gone out of control, all the cultivators in the Scarlet Heaven Territory had moved to other countries. The vast territory was slightly desolate and uninhabited.
An hour later, a ninety thousand zhang * (3.33m per zhang) tall cloud mountain appeared in front of them. Countless cloud palaces and cloud towers were built on the top of the mountain.
Ning Fan kept his escaping light and landed on the peak of the mountain with Yu Chong 'er. They stood outside a giant door.
There were four large golden words written on the signboard of the door: Scarlet Heaven Cloud Palace!
This was the Scarlet Heaven Palace. Due to the chaos caused by the cloud lions, no cultivators dared to stay in the palace. All of them had taken refuge in other countries.
"We're here …"
Ning Fan looked at the empty palace with his hands clasped behind his back. Looking at the ninety thousand zhang * (3.33m per zhang) tall sea of clouds, he let out a sigh.
At ninety thousand zhang * (3.33m per zhang) tall, red-crowned cranes were flying in the sky. It was as if they could touch the sky just by raising their hands.
"Fifty years ago, when I was still in Wu Country, I thought that the one thousand four hundred zhang * (3.33m per zhang) tall Ning Bi Mountain was the highest mountain in the world …"
"Now, I'm standing on the ninety thousand zhang * (3.33m per zhang) tall cloud mountain. However, I know that there are countless mountains that are higher than this mountain …"
"At the end of the path of cultivation, who will be the peak … Immortals are people who stand on the mountain. However, I don't know how high the mountain must be in order to see the Great Dao of immortality clearly and ascend to immortality in a single step …"
Yu Chong 'er stood behind Ning Fan and stared at his back. At this moment, she felt that he seemed to have merged with the sea of clouds and his temperament was like an immortal.
She was slightly stunned and could not help but look at Ning Fan a few more times. When she realized it, her face turned red and she lowered her head while biting her lips.
"Ning Fan, thank you … Previously, in the Blood Dragon Pool, I almost lost my life trying to retrieve the Blood Dragon Moss. Thank you for saving me … I have brought the Blood Dragon Moss back to my clan and fed it to my mother. My mother's illness has been cured … Thank you … I will certainly repay your kindness."
"I saved you once, and you gave me the Heaven Deceiving Cloak. You don't owe me anything, so there's no need to repay me. It's a good thing that your mother can recover from her illness. The tree may desire peace, but the wind won't stop … It's a blessing to be able to be filial to your parents while you're still alive. "
"Miss Yu has already sent me to the Scarlet Heaven Palace. Should I return to the Serene Heaven Palace or stay in my Scarlet Heaven Palace for the time being?"
"I have to return to the Serene Heaven Palace, otherwise big brother will scold me." Yu Chong 'er stuck out her tongue and chuckled softly. She stomped her foot on the ground, and a five-veined immortal cloud appeared.
"When I think of how to repay you, I'll come find you. I, Yu Chong 'er, never owe anyone a favor. I will definitely repay you to your satisfaction! "
"Is that so? Then I'm looking forward to it." Ning Fan replied with a smile.
"Then … I'll take my leave first …"
Yu Chong 'er rode the immortal cloud and left. Her heart actually felt a little reluctant to part with him.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it … Why am I reluctant to leave … I must be sick …"
"Last time, he asked for my Heaven Deceiving Cloak … He seems to be very fond of Profound Divinity Spiritual Equipment … Why don't I ask my master for a Profound Divinity Spiritual Equipment and give it to him as repayment?"
...
Ning Fan looked at Yu Chong 'er's fleeing light and revealed an indescribable smile.
He used the Mind Reading Technique to see through Yu Chong 'er's thoughts.
"Is this little girl going to give me a Profound Divinity Spiritual Equipment? Then I'm really looking forward to it …"
He withdrew his gaze, turned around, and walked into the Scarlet Heaven Cloud Palace. There was not a single cultivator in the empty palace. The defensive formation light was still on.
As the palace lord of the Scarlet Heaven Palace, he had the palace lord's token, so he could directly enter the palace.
Even though the palace was empty, the chaos caused by the Cloud Lion Clan had already been settled. Presumably, all the cultivators who left would return to the Scarlet Heaven Territory soon.
He did not care whether there was anyone in the palace or not.
Even though he was the palace lord of the Scarlet Heaven Palace, he did not care about the affairs of the palace at all.
The only thing he was concerned about was how much benefits the palace lord of the Scarlet Heaven Palace would receive.
As far as he knew, each of the palace lords of the nine great branch palaces was in charge of a territory. They could take and use the magic treasures and pills in their territories at will. They could also read the cultivation methods and secret manuals in their territories at will.
Even though all the cultivators of the Scarlet Heaven Palace had fled, it was just to show Ning Fan's strength and temporarily leave. The treasury and the scripture pavilion were still there.
The treasury and the scripture pavilion were protected by layers of formation light. However, Ning Fan could enter them at will with the palace lord's token.
Even without the palace lord's token, he still had the Wind Mist Finger. What formation light could stop him under the immortal formations?
He first entered the treasury of the Scarlet Heaven Palace. To the cultivators of the Scarlet Heaven Palace, all the items in the treasury could be exchanged with contribution points.
Every year, the cultivators of the Rain Palace would be given contribution points which could be considered as their salary. If they complete the missions of the Rain Palace, they could obtain additional contribution points.
However, Ning Fan, the palace lord, did not need to pay any contribution points. He could take and use the treasures in the treasury at will.
There were a total of 5.5 billion immortal jade, 72000 tufts of spiritual herbs that were ten thousand years old and above, 400 bottles of Fifth Revolution Pills, 3 bottles of Sixth Revolution Pills, 4000 Four Marks Immortal Clouds, 70 Five Marks Immortal Clouds, 4 Six Marks Immortal Clouds …
There were twelve thousand magic treasures that were at the Nascent Soul Realm and above, more than seven thousand spiritual equipment that was at the Profound Jade Realm and above, 500 Nascent Soul Realm spiritual puppets, 42 Divine Transformation Realm spiritual puppets and 1 Void Glimpse Stage spiritual puppet …
Of course, he would take all of these items away. It was his privilege as the palace lord.
As for how the divine envoys and revered elders of the palace cultivate after taking these items away, what did it have to do with him? After all, they were all Yun Jinghong's subordinates.
When he left the treasury, it was already a little empty.
He entered the scripture pavilion. There were many cultivation methods and magic techniques of the Rain Palace in this place. There were also many pill recipes.
Ordinary cultivators of the Scarlet Heaven Palace would need to spend contribution points to read them. However, as the palace lord, he could read these magic techniques and pill recipes at will.
The lowest cultivation method in this place was at the Spirit Grade while the highest was at the Mid Grade Mortal Void Realm.
As for pill recipes, the highest was at the Mid Grade Sixth Revolution.
Only the main palace of the Rain Palace had pill recipes of higher grades. In order to read the magic techniques and pill recipes of the main palace, even the ninth palace lord would have to spend contribution points.
Naturally, Ning Fan would not be interested in the low-grade cultivation methods and pill recipes. He only made a copy of all the high-grade jade slips and took them away.
The only thing that Ning Fan was slightly interested in was a scroll that introduced how to create a low-grade Cloud Lion.
Just like that, Ning Fan had almost swept through the entire Scarlet Heaven Palace.
"* Giggle * … How are you here to be the palace lord? You're obviously here to be a bandit cultivator. Do you really want to scrape three feet of the ground before you stop?" In the Profound Yin World, Luo You teased him.
"Scrape three feet of the ground … It seems like you're right. The belly of this Cloud Mountain seems to be empty. I wonder what's hidden inside … "
Ning Fan smiled disapprovingly. His title as the palace lord of the Scarlet Heaven Palace was just an empty title. As long as Yun Jinghong was in the Scarlet Heaven Palace, he would not be able to truly control the palace.
So what if he had to scrape three feet of the ground? After all, he was going to scrape Yun Jinghong's territory.
Ning Fan used his Earth Escape Technique and dived into the belly of the Cloud Mountain.
The belly of the ninety thousand zhang * (3.33m per zhang) tall mountain was hollowed out and built into an extremely spacious palace.
Both sides of the mountain walls were embedded with moonlight stones which emitted a faint light to illuminate the place.
The palace was surrounded by Peak Mortal Void Realm formation lights. Only those with the token of the palace lord could enter this place.
"Oh? Is this the place where the previous palace lords of the Scarlet Heaven Palace went into seclusion …? "
Ning Fan walked into the palace. There were forty-nine stone chambers in the palace. In the middle of the main hall stood a gigantic ancient tablet.
The ancient tablet was nine hundred zhang * (3.33m per zhang) tall. Its entire body was snow-white and it emitted an extremely faint cloud light. The four corners of the tablet were engraved with mysterious runes. Four ancient divine characters were written on the surface of the tablet.
The Scarlet Heaven Rain Tablet!
Ning Fan walked closer to the gigantic tablet. The closer he got to it, the more he could feel the irresistible dampness. His clothes became wet without any reason.
That dampness was very familiar to Ning Fan. It was the Rain Intent Realm. However, it was slightly different from the Rain Intent Ning Fan had comprehended.
The cultivation base of the owner of this intent realm was rather terrifying. He had merely carved four words on the ancient monument and left behind a trace of intent realm power. It was unknown how many years had passed but it was still able to render an expert like Ning Fan unable to resist the nourishment of the rain intent.
"The cultivation of the person who carved this tablet is far above me in the past …" Luo You said with a solemn expression.
"When you were at your peak, you should have been a True Immortal of the Renunciation Realm, right? The person who carved the tablet was stronger than you. What level of cultivation did he have? "
Ning Fan's eyes swept across the stone wall at the side. There were ancient words engraved on the stone wall. It was an introduction to the giant monument.
This giant monument was called the Rain Monument. It was left behind by the ancestor of the Rain World — — the Rain Ancestor. Each of the nine great sub palaces had a Rain Monument.
It was rumored that one of the nine Rain Tablets contained a divine art of the Rain Ancestor. The reason why the Rain Tablets were left behind was to allow the later generations to comprehend this art.
Unfortunately, after the Rain Ancestor, no one in the Rain World was able to comprehend this technique.
"No one has ever learned this technique … How difficult is this technique …?"
Ning Fan's face turned serious and he continued to stare at the stone wall.
According to the records on the stone wall, the technique left behind by the Rain Ancestor was called "Heaven Peeking Rain". It was a type of sensing magic technique.
The sensing range of a cultivator's spirit sense was limited. However, some secret techniques could extend the range of their spirit sense by tens of times, hundreds of times or even more.
In the past, when Ning Fan was in the Sinister Sparrow Sect, he accidentally entered the state of the unity of heaven and man and displayed the Spirit Roaming Ten Thousand Li Away Technique. Even though he was just a Harmonious Spirit Realm cultivator, he was able to stretch his spirit sense into an extremely thin thread and extend it out of the Rain World and into the Northern Heaven Immortal World.
The Spirit Roaming Ten Thousand Li Away Technique was an extremely powerful sensing ability. Even the spirit sense of a True Immortal Realm cultivator might not be able to successfully cultivate this technique.
With Ning Fan's current cultivation base, he certainly could not display the Spirit Roaming Ten Thousand Li Away Technique for the second time. Previously, he had almost died under this technique.
In the Star Palace, he was once chased by the Realm Beast. That Realm Beast had fused its spirit sense with the world of the entire Star Palace, allowing its spirit sense to spread to every corner of the Star Palace.
Even though sensing abilities could not be used to kill people, it was definitely a powerful ability.
According to the records on the stone wall, when the Rain Ancestor was at his peak, he had once entered the Northern Heaven Immortal World. With a technique called the Heaven Peeking Rain, his spirit sense covered countless star regions in the entire Northern Heaven, shocking several immortal emperors!
According to rumors, as long as one successfully cultivates this technique, even if one only has a Void Refinement Realm spirit sense, they would still be able to cover the entire Middle State with their spirit sense!
"The magic technique inherited in the Rain Monument … is actually the Heaven Peeking Rain! The Heaven Peeking Rain allows one to see through the entire Northern Heaven with a light rain. This is the reason why this technique got its name! It's the technique that made the Rain Ancestor famous in this generation! "Luo You seemed to have heard of this technique before. She was rather shocked.
"Silly little brother, quickly get closer to the Rain Monument and send your spirit sense into it. Try and see if you can comprehend this technique! Once you do, it will be extremely beneficial to you! "Luo You urged.
"Since the creation of this technique in the Rain World until now, no cultivator in the Rain World has been able to successfully cultivate it. I don't think I can comprehend it … According to the records on the stone wall, if I fail to comprehend this technique, I will suffer a backlash from the Rain Monument and my Sea of Consciousness will be severely damaged … If I fail to learn this technique, I will certainly suffer severe injuries from the backlash. However, if I manage to successfully cultivate this technique …"
Ning Fan revealed a struggling expression.
If he managed to cultivate this technique, with his current level of divine sense, even if he couldn't cover the entire Rain World, he would still be able to cover the entire Middle Prefecture.
If he covered the entire Middle State with his divine sense, he might be able to find Ning Qian in one go …
She was in the Middle State!
Even if the chance of learning this technique was only one in a billion, even if he might be severely injured by the backlash from the Rain Monument, he did not care at all!
"Let me see how difficult it is to learn the Rain Ancestor's divine ability that no one in the Rain World can comprehend!"
Ning Fan took a deep breath and walked to the bottom of the Rain Monument. Looking at the nine hundred zhang * (3.33m per zhang) tall monument, he stopped in his tracks.
He closed his eyes and sent his Divine Sense into the Rain Monument.
An extremely dense Divine Intent of Rain rolled towards his spirit sense. In just an instant, the spirit sense that Ning Fan sent into the Rain Monument was completely shattered. He felt an intense pain in his Sea of Consciousness. His chest felt as if it had suffered a heavy blow and he was sent flying several hundred zhang * (3.33m per zhang) backwards. His body smashed heavily against the stone wall, causing his bones and tendons to break!
"Did he fail …?" Luo You sighed softly. It seemed like Ning Fan was not fated to learn this technique.
She wanted to comfort Ning Fan but she realized that his current expression was extremely complicated.
There was confusion, surprise, astonishment and even a hint of joy in his eyes.
"Perhaps I can learn this technique … The reason why no one can learn this technique is not because it is difficult to understand. The biggest reason is that this technique requires one to cultivate the power of the divine, demon and devil races at the same time in order to use it!"
"The Rain Ancestor is not a pure divine cultivator … Due to some fortuitous encounters, the Rain Ancestor's body possesses the power of the three races at the same time! The first condition to learn this technique is to fuse magic power, demon power and devil qi into one! No one in the Rain World fulfills this condition … Therefore, since the Rain World was established, no one has been able to learn this technique … "
"The reason why I was injured by the Rain Monument was because the Rain Intent I comprehended has yet to reach the minimum requirement to practice this technique … The Rain Intent I comprehended in the past belongs to the Divine Intent, not the Demon Intent nor the Devil Intent … However, the Rain Ancestor's Rain Intent contains the Divine Intent of Rain, the Rain Devil Intent and the Rain Demon Intent …"
"This technique is divided into nine parts. What is inherited in this monument is only one of the nine parts …"
Without saying much, he sat cross-legged under the Rain Monument. With a wave of his hand, he summoned the ninety-nine natal black stars and used their starlight to heal his wounds.
One day, two days … On the seventh day, Ning Fan suddenly stood up. All of his injuries had been healed.
He looked at the Rain Monument and sensed the veins of the rain will on it. After a long silence, he sent out his Divine Sense into the Rain Monument again.
This time, he was once again sent flying by the Rain Monument, but he only flew back a few hundred meters before he stabilized his body. The injuries he suffered were not as serious as the first time.
Ning Fan did not say anything else. Once again, he sat cross-legged on the Rain Monument to heal his wounds.
This time, the healing process only took four days!
After his injuries were healed, Ning Fan stood up again and stared at the Rain Monument in silence for a long time.
This time, he was not in a hurry to sink his Divine Sense into the Rain Monument. Instead, he closed his eyes to feel the rain intent of the Rain Ancestor.
The Divine Intent of Rain must have a merciful heart, allowing the Rain Intent to bless all living things.
The demonic intent of the rain had to have a bewitching heart, causing the curtain of rain to cover the common people.
The Demonic Rain Intent must have the heart to kill, causing the rain to flood into a river …
Ning Fan stood in front of the Rain Monument and carefully sensed it. The battle lasted for ten days!
The aura around his body changed rapidly. Sometimes, he was merciful like a deity, sometimes, he was cold-blooded like a devil, and sometimes, he was as evil as a demon …
On the eleventh day, Ning Fan suddenly opened his eyes and sent his Divine Sense into the Rain Monument for the third time.
This time, he was not repelled by the Rain Monument!
This time, an ancient and vicissitudinous voice resounded in his ears, as if it was imparting the Dao!
"There is rain in the Nine Heavens. My thoughts are connected to a world. The clouds are my eyes and the rain is my thoughts. Heaven and Earth are integrated into my heart. This is the Rain of Heaven Peeking …"
"The Rain of Heaven Peeking is divided into nine heavens. The rain of the third day is called the Rain of Scarlet Heaven …"
All of a sudden, streams of information flowed into Ning Fan's Sea of Consciousness.
Luo You revealed a faint smile. Ning Fan had actually comprehended the Rain of Heaven Peeking Technique, even if what he comprehended was just one-ninth of the complete technique …
The corner of Ning Fan's lips curled up slightly. He closed his eyes and stood in the palace at the belly of the mountain. Then, he suddenly formed a series of hand seals.
Once, twice, thrice …
Another half a month passed. He did not know how many times he had performed the finger seals in the belly of the mountain, and he was getting more and more proficient.
The cultivators who had left the Scarlet Heaven Territory had long since returned.
The cultivators of the Scarlet Heaven Palace had already returned and discovered that the treasury had been ransacked …
No one expected that Ning Fan would be practicing the Rain Technique in the belly of the mountain.
However, all of a sudden, the Scarlet Heaven Territory with a radius of seventy million miles started to rain.
"That's strange. The Heavenly Cloud Nation is protected by a grand formation. No rainwater can fall into the formation. Why would it suddenly rain in our Scarlet Heaven Territory …?" Countless cultivators were puzzled.
Inside the belly of the mountain, Ning Fan's eyes were as deep as a bottomless pond. His hands kept forming hand seals.
He was the one who made the rain!
His Great Virtual Realm spiritual will could only detect movements within 400,000 li.
But at this moment, his eyes seemed to be able to see everything within a seventy million mile radius!
All the clouds above the Scarlet Heaven Territory were his eyes!
The rain that would fall seventy million kilometers in the Scarlet Heaven Territory was his will!
Even a Void Fragmentation Realm cultivator could only sense a million li. However, Ning Fan could clearly sense the scenery within seventy million li!
The only flaw of this technique was that after using it once, all of his magic power would be drained.
Powerful divine abilities would always consume a lot of magic power.
"Silly little brother, if you complete this technique, you might even be able to make rain fall in the entire Middle State … The Rain Ancestor's Heaven Peering Rain is indeed very powerful …" Luo You praised.
"Mm. Next, I'll go and complete this technique. According to the stone wall, the cultivators of the nine palaces are not allowed to comprehend the Rain Steles of the other palaces. If I want to comprehend the Rain Steles of the other palaces, I must fulfill a precondition! "
"If I defeat the palace lords of the other eight palaces, I will be able to comprehend the Rain Steles of the other eight palaces!"
"I want to learn this technique and spread rain across the entire Middle State … Find her!"
* Chi * A ray of travelling light rushed out of the belly of the mountain and headed towards the other eight palaces with an intense battle intent!
He wanted to challenge the other eight palaces with his identity as the palace lord of the Scarlet Heaven Palace. He could only win! (To be continued.)
