After being touched by Ning Fan's finger, the snow-white beast let out a shrill roar. It no longer dared to attack Ning Fan. It turned into a ray of snow-white light and tried to escape.
Of course, Ning Fan would never let it escape. He pointed at the sky and stopped the beast in its tracks.
Then, he flicked his sleeve and the beast flew into his hand. Upon closer inspection, he found out that it was a palm-sized white tiger.
This white tiger was not a living creature. It was formed by the baleful qi in the spiritual equipment.
Even though it was captured by Ning Fan, the white tiger was still brandishing its claws and fangs with a fierce expression.
Ning Fan shook his palm and shattered the white tiger's shadow. With a flash of light, an ancient dark silver armguard appeared in his palm.
The length of the armguard was just enough to cover Ning Fan's forearm. It felt cold to the touch and contained a sharp killing qi.
The armguard was carved with images of mountains, seas and strange beasts. It was well-made.
Its texture was extremely sturdy. The material used to make this armguard was definitely not ordinary …
Not only did the armguard have an astonishing defense, but it also contained a killing qi that attracted Ning Fan's attention.
If he refined this armguard, the power of his punches would increase by a terrifying amount.
"Master said that this spiritual equipment was made by a spiritual equipment master in the Heaven Immortal World. The material used was the tusk of a Heavenly Demon White Tiger. White tigers are responsible for killing. The Heavenly Demon White Tiger has killed countless people and its baleful qi is very strong … Even master couldn't suppress the baleful qi of this spiritual equipment. However, I think you should be able to suppress it … You are so powerful …" Yu Chong 'er said with a red face.
"You really think highly of me … An armguard made from the tusk of a White Tiger … Thank you for giving it to me. I like it very much."
Ning Fan touched the armguard. It turned into a ray of white light and flew back to the brocade box. Then, he kept the brocade box into his storage pouch.
"It's good that you like it … Then, I will leave first. Master will scold me again if he can't find me for a month …"
Yu Chong 'er stuck out her tongue and left reluctantly on her Five Lines Flowing Cloud.
Logically speaking, she had given Ning Fan the Heaven Deceiving Cloak, the Insect King's blood and the White Tiger Armguard. She had already repaid her debt …
But why was she still reluctant to part with him?
"Damn it … Yu Chong 'er, you must be sick. That's why you can't bear to leave the Scarlet Heaven Palace …" Yu Chong' er muttered to herself.
"Miss Yu, please wait." Ning Fan suddenly spoke.
"Wh … What's the matter …" Yu Chong 'er turned around shyly.
"These body refining pills are the devil pills of the devil race. They can enhance the body refining cultivation base of the Jade Life Realm. I concocted them in the past and the Rain Palace doesn't have them. If Miss Yu doesn't mind, please accept these medicinal pills. I'm sure they will be of great help to you in breaking through to the Second Level of Jade Life Realm. "
Ning Fan smiled faintly and took out an exquisite storage pouch. With a flick of his finger, he tossed it to Yu Chong 'er.
Since Yu Chong 'er had given him something, he naturally needed to return the favor. Even though these pills were not as precious as the Profound Divinity Spiritual Equipment, they could still be considered as a token of appreciation from Ning Fan.
"This … This …" Yu Chong 'er caught Ning Fan's storage pouch from afar. Her face was as red as a persimmon.
She did not expect that Ning Fan would give her something in return. She was completely unprepared and did not know how to reply to him.
Her heart was in a mess. She put away the storage bag and ran away like a rabbit.
This time, she was very sure that she was really sick …
They actually did not dare to speak to Ning Fan anymore.
It was too embarrassing …
...
Just as Yu Chong 'er left, Ning Fan received a golden message-transmitting flying sword. It was a message from the Rain Sovereign himself.
"Ten days later, I'll go to the Rain God Palace."
The Rain God Palace was the main palace of the Rain Palace. It was located in the Tenth Level of the Heavenly Cloud Realm and was personally guarded by the Rain Sovereign.
After pondering for a while, Ning Fan returned to the belly of the mountain to go into seclusion.
Ten days later, he would go to the Rain God Palace to meet the Rain Sovereign.
Before that, he planned to refine the White Tiger Gauntlet first.
The White Tiger Gauntlet was filled with baleful qi. Ordinary Void Fragmentation Realm experts would not be able to suppress the baleful qi and refine the spiritual equipment.
With Ning Fan's baleful qi and the aura force of his Fu Li ancestral blood, it was a piece of cake for him to suppress this spiritual equipment.
The defensive effect of this spiritual equipment was secondary. Its main function was to increase the power of his body techniques.
In just three days, Ning Fan had refined the spiritual equipment into his right arm. For the remaining days, he sat under the stele of the Rain Ancestor to comprehend the rain intent.
On the seventh day, a message-transmitting flying sword flew from the Profound Heaven Realm to the Scarlet Heaven Realm. It was a message from Yun Bushu to Ning Fan.
There was only one sentence in the message. "Hide your sovereign qi well. Be careful of Revered Ming."
After receiving Yun Bushu's warning, Ning Fan's eyes turned cold. He first suspected that Yun Bushu was testing him.
Then, he shook his head and denied this thought. He felt that Yun Bushu might have really seen through the sovereign qi in his body.
He still remembered that after he condensed the sovereign qi in the past, he was once tracked by a giant eye in the Profound Yin World.
Revered Ming was the Rain Sovereign's trusted aide and that giant eye was his Heavenly Eye.
In the past, when Ning Fan condensed the sovereign qi, he shocked the entire Rain World. Countless people were searching for the identity of the second sovereign of the Rain World … The Rain Sovereign was even more frantic in his search. He was looking for people who had a similar back view to that person and killed all of them.
Now, the Rain Sovereign was only afraid of Ning Fan because of his innate talent in cultivation. However, he was determined to kill that mysterious sovereign who had condensed the sovereign qi.
No one knew that person was Ning Fan. Not even Revered Ming knew about it.
Ning Fan had hidden his sovereign qi very well. Even when he met Chu Chang 'an, Yun Tianjue, Yun Jinghong, Yun Daoku and other Void Fragmentation Realm experts, they did not know that Ning Fan possessed the sovereign qi.
Yun Bushu was the only one who could see through Ning Fan's sovereign qi and gave him a warning … This Yun Bushu was quite capable.
"If Yun Bushu can really see that I possess the sovereign qi, the Rain Sovereign will certainly be able to as well … I'm going to meet the Rain Sovereign in three days. Just in case, I'll hide the sovereign qi for now …"
Ning Fan hid the sovereign qi in the Yin Yang Locket. This locket was an immortal emperor treasure which could block all senses. No matter how powerful the Rain Sovereign was, he would not be able to sense this sovereign qi.
He did not reply to Yun Bushu's message-transmitting flying sword. If he did, it would mean admitting the fact that he possessed the sovereign qi.
From the bottom of his heart, he believed that Yun Bushu was a friend who had gone through life and death with his father.
Deep down, however, there was still a sense of alienation …
It was not something that could be done in a short period of time if one wanted to truly trust someone.
On the tenth day, a group of revered elders of the Rain God Palace came to fetch Ning Fan to meet the Rain Sovereign.
All of these revered elders had Divine Transformation Realm qi. However, their expressions were dull. Upon closer inspection, each of them was actually a puppet refined from devil cultivators.
Ning Fan followed these revered elders to the Tenth Level of the Heavenly Cloud Realm. Along the way, he was deep in thought.
Is the Rain Sovereign purposely sending these devil cultivator puppets to receive Ning Fan to give him a show of strength …?
Does the Rain Sovereign want to say that if I betray the Rain Palace, I will be refined into a puppet of a devil cultivator …?
"If people don't betray me, I won't betray them … This show of strength is useless against me."
The Tenth Level of the Heavenly Cloud Realm, the Ruling Sky Realm!
The Ruling Sky Realm was located at the center of the Heavenly Cloud Country. The other nine realms surrounded the Tenth Level, forming a circle around it.
Along the way, there was an endless stream of travelling light heading towards the Tenth Level of the Heavenly Cloud Realm. All of them wanted to go there and watch the show.
During the half a year that Ning Fan had been in seclusion, the news of him sweeping across the eight palaces had spread across the entire Rain World.
Today, Ning Fan had truly become a powerful figure in the Rain World. Few cultivators below the Void Fragmentation Realm dared to go against him.
Even those Grand Void Realm cultivators would probably have to be polite to him.
There were hundreds of cultivation cities in the central region of the Ruling Sky Realm. The one at the center was called the Ruling Sky City.
The Ruling Sky City was built ninety thousand zhang * (3.33m per zhang) above the sea of clouds. There were divine envoys of the Rain Palace guarding the area within one million li * (500m per li).
Arriving at this place, the Divine Transformation Realm puppets that led the way had already completed their mission and left silently.
Ning Fan left those Divine Transformation Realm puppets behind and flew ninety thousand zhang * (3.33m per zhang) above the sea of clouds, landing outside the Ruling Sky City.
The moment he landed, a group of cultivators with sharp auras immediately blocked his way. They were the city guards of the Ruling Sky City.
Even though there were only nine cultivators in this group, eight of them were at the Half-Step Void Refinement Realm.
The person leading them was even a Void Glimpse Stage cultivator!
As soon as the nine guards saw Ning Fan's appearance, they immediately spoke respectfully. "The Rain Sovereign has given an order. If Marquis White Robe is here, you can enter the Ruling Sky City to meet him."
"Got it."
Ning Fan entered the Ruling Sky City alone. It was a turtle-shaped giant city. There were not many cultivators guarding the city. The cultivators who occasionally guarded the city were all at the Divine Transformation Realm.
After entering the Ruling Sky City, Ning Fan stepped on the sea of clouds. He could faintly sense an extremely vast demonic qi from the ground of the clouds in the city.
The soul of a First Heavenly Layer Void Fragmentation Realm turtle demon was residing in the entire Ruling Sky City!
Most likely, this turtle demon existed as a guard of the Ruling Sky City … The Rain Sovereign sure is generous. He actually got a Void Fragmentation Realm turtle demon to guard the city …
In the central area of the Ruling Sky City, there was a giant gate with three words written on it – Ruling Sky Gate.
The person guarding the gate was an elderly man in embroidered robes. His cultivation base was at the Absolute Void Stage. He sat on a cloud tree beside the giant gate with his eyes closed. His expression was extremely cold and arrogant.
As soon as he saw Ning Fan's arrival, the elderly man immediately stood up and revealed a rare smile. "I'm the palace lord of the Rain God Palace, Han Song Zi. Greetings to Marquis White Robe. Marquis White Robe, please wait for a moment. I will open the Ruling Sky Gate right away … Lord Rain Sovereign and the four Void Fragmentation Realm experts have been waiting for you in the Rain God Palace for a long time."
"Do I still need to go through this giant gate to enter the Rain God Palace …?"
Ning Fan's gaze swept across the giant gate. After a few glances, he realized that it was the entrance to a small chiliocosm.
The defense of the Heavenly Cloud Ten Realms was impregnable. Even though the Ruling Sky City was heavily guarded, the Rain Sovereign still hid the Rain God Palace in a small chiliocosm. It was enough to show how cautious and suspicious the Rain Sovereign was.
Han Song Zi just smiled in response to Ning Fan's question. He did not answer him. He activated a golden token and the giant gate immediately opened with a rumbling sound.
Inside the giant gate was a vast and boundless void world.
Inside the void world, there was a majestic palace that shone with dazzling golden light. It was none other than the Rain God Palace!
"Marquis White Robe, please follow me."
Han Song Zi took the lead and went into the giant gate.
After pondering for a moment, Ning Fan's eyes flashed with determination and he went into the gate. Then, the giant gate closed up.
Ning Fan looked at the gate that was gradually disappearing in the void world. He fell into deep thought and secretly memorized the location of the gate.
If something unexpected happens, his Wind Mist Finger should be enough to tear open this void door and leave with ease.
Along the way, he had been thinking about the various scenarios when he met the Rain Sovereign.
Even though he was sure that he was useful to the Rain Sovereign and would not be in any danger, nothing was absolute in this world. However, nothing was absolute in this world, and there was nothing wrong with being careful.
If there was really danger, he could escape into Yuan Yao World and no one would be able to catch him.
The void in front of him was filled with a repulsive force, making it difficult for cultivators to move an inch in the void.
Han Song Zi laughed and took out the golden token. Suddenly, a golden bridge appeared in the void, connecting to the main gate of the Rain God Palace.
He walked across the golden bridge without any hindrance.
Without saying much, he followed Han Song Zi across the golden bridge and entered the Rain God Palace.
Inside the main hall, an old man in a silver dragon robe sat coldly on the throne.
Below them stood the four great Void Fragmentation Realm experts, a few princes, the palace masters and vice palace masters of the eight branch palaces and all the sect masters of the righteous sects in the Middle State.
Only those with great status would be able to enter the Rain God Temple!
As soon as Ning Fan entered the Rain God Palace, countless spirit senses immediately swept past him. They wanted to see what kind of abilities this Marquis White Robe who was famous in the Rain World had.
Ning Fan smiled faintly. He did not stop them nor did he reveal his aura force.
Other than sensing that he was at the Void Inquiry Stage, the people on the scene could not sense anything else. All of them were surprised.
"This Marquis White Robe's aura is so restrained! He can actually shield himself from our detection! "
Ning Fan's gaze swept across the sect masters of the various sects in the Middle State. When he saw that there were no Absolute Void Stage cultivators among them, he no longer paid any attention to them.
His eyes swept across the eight palace masters indifferently. Most of them were looking at Ning Fan with respect and fear.
Ning Fan shifted his gaze away and turned to look at the few Void Fragmentation Realm princes.
Among the princes, Yun Tianjue did not come.
The Seventh Prince Yun Jinghong's eyes carried a hint of fear that came from the bottom of his heart.
As for the Sixth Prince Yun Youmu, he was still squinting his eyes with a smile that he did not reveal.
When the Fifth Prince Yun Zhongyan saw Ning Fan enter, he only let out a soft snort.
As for the Second Prince Yun Xiaoxiang, his eyes were deep and his brows were slightly knitted. No one knew what he was thinking.
Only the Third Prince Yun Bushu felt slightly relieved when he saw that Ning Fan did not have any trace of royal qi in his body this time. He winked at Ning Fan and revealed a playful smile.
However, he secretly transmitted his voice to Ning Fan again. "Be careful of Revered Ming."
"Thank you."
Ning Fan replied to Yun Bushu using telepathy while his eyes swept across the four Void Fragmentation Realm experts.
Among the four Void Fragmentation Realm experts, Yun Daoku's eyes carried a hint of fear and dread when he looked at Ning Fan.
The Dragon Determining Valley Lord Chu Chang 'an, on the other hand, was frowning. His eyes were filled with hesitation when he looked at Ning Fan. No one knew what he was hesitating about.
The Pill Sovereign who had just returned from his travels was also here. He slightly spread out his medicine soul. When he sensed Ning Fan's Mid Sixth Revolution medicine soul, he revealed a satisfied smile.
The last person was Yu Chong 'er's master, the sect master of the Thousand Fantasy Sect, Yun Qingge.
This lady had a First Heavenly Layer Void Fragmentation Realm magic power cultivation base. At the same time, her body refinement realm was at the First Heavenly Layer of the Nirvana Realm.
She was wearing a large green cloak that tightly wrapped her delicate body. The cloak was green in color and there were patterns of clouds and mist engraved on it.
Ning Fan only needed to take a glance at the cloak and he was very sure that it was a Profound Divinity spiritual equipment similar to the Heaven Deceiving Cloak.
With the cloak covering her delicate body, Ning Fan could not see Yun Qingge's specific clothes.
Her black hair was tied up in a slanted bun with a green jade hairpin. Her appearance was extremely beautiful and her mist was as light as the clouds and mist.
The way she looked at Ning Fan carried an inexplicable cold hostility.
"Have I offended this woman before …?" Ning Fan thought to himself.
However, no matter how hard he searched through his memories, he could not remember having any relationship with Yun Qingge.
It seemed a little strange for this woman to show hostility towards him.
Ning Fan's gaze eventually fell on the Rain Sovereign.
The Rain Sovereign was wearing a silver dragon robe embroidered with cloud patterns. His white hair was tied into a crown, making him look rather dignified.
Before Ning Fan arrived, the Rain Sovereign's expression had always been as cold as ice. However, at this moment, the Rain Sovereign was looking at Ning Fan with an extremely gentle smile.
The way he looked at Ning Fan was as if he was looking at his own descendant.
Behind the Rain Sovereign stood an elderly man in black robes with a cold expression.
That elderly man in black robes only had a Divine Transformation Realm cultivation base. However, his body was emitting a strong power of heavenly mystery. Obviously, he was extremely proficient in the Dao of Divination.
This person's left eye was as cold as a snake while his right eye was already blind.
This person was Revered Ming who had used the Heavenly Eye Technique to track Ning Fan …
"Hehe. So you are Ning Fan? Not bad. Really not bad. Your bone age is just 900 years but you have already cultivated to this level. In the future, you will certainly break through to the Void Fragmentation Realm and become a pillar of our Rain Palace! "
The Rain Sovereign's smile was extremely sincere. There was not a single flaw in his words.
However, Ning Fan was unmoved. He just cupped his fists politely like Han Song Zi. "Scarlet Heaven Palace Lord Ning Fan greets the Rain Sovereign!"
"Hehe. You don't have to be so courteous. To us cultivators, empty courtesy is meaningless …"
The Rain Sovereign suddenly changed the topic and asked. "As far as I know, you were born in a low-grade cultivation country – Yue Country. May I know who your master is? "
"Black Devil!"
Ning Fan's eyes turned cold and he only uttered two words indifferently.
All of a sudden, the entire main hall was filled with the sound of people inhaling cold breaths.
"Initially, I didn't believe the report from Revered Snow … This young man is actually that person's disciple!!!"
"Even though that person is severely injured and lives in seclusion in the lower world, he is still the lord of the Black Devil Country. He is also a figure who can summon wind and rain in the upper world … If Marquis White Robe is really that person's disciple, who among us dares to provoke him …"
"Black Devil … Black Devil … Sigh … We mustn't provoke him. We mustn't provoke him …"
Ning Fan saw the expressions of everyone in the main hall and sighed softly.
It was difficult to conceal the fact that he was the Old Devil's disciple. Many cultivators in Yue Country knew about it. However, only a few of them knew about the Old Devil's background.
If the Rain Sovereign wants to find out Ning Fan's identity, it would not be difficult.
If Ning Fan wants to lie, it would be meaningless. Besides, there was no need for him to lie.
This identity was a great deterrent to the cultivators of the Middle State and the Rain Sovereign …
No matter how much the Rain Sovereign envies Ning Fan, he would certainly be extremely fearful after knowing Ning Fan's identity.
Even if the Rain Sovereign wants to kill Ning Fan in the future, he would definitely not dare to let others know about it. He would definitely do it secretly …
The Rain Sovereign clenched his fists tightly. His heart was extremely restless.
During the ten years when Ning Fan returned to Yue Country and went into seclusion to seek the Void Inquiry Stage, the Rain Sovereign had already sent people to Yue Country to investigate Ning Fan's background.
This investigation was not important but the Rain Sovereign did not dare to ignore the result.
Ning Fan was Old Devil Han's disciple. Moreover, he was a disciple whom Old Devil Han regarded as his own son!
With this identity and background, even the Rain Sovereign would not dare to touch Ning Fan recklessly …
When the Rain Sovereign came out of seclusion this time, Yun Xiaoxiang reported the matter of Ning Fan sweeping through the eight palaces. The Rain Sovereign just nodded his head with a cold expression, indicating that he understood.
Even though he was narrow-minded, he still knew what was good for him.
Even if the Old Devil was severely injured, he was not someone whom the Rain Sovereign could afford to offend just because of his identity as the master of the Black Devil Clan.
"Unless I find out that this young man is the one who stopped me from becoming an immortal, I can't casually make a move against him …"
This was exactly what the Rain Sovereign was thinking at the moment!
Everything would depend on Revered Ming's investigation … If Revered Ming detects a trace of his sovereign qi from Ning Fan's body …
The Rain Sovereign's expression turned cold. If that's the case, he would still secretly kill Ning Fan even if he has a powerful background!
No one could stop him from becoming an immortal!
The Rain Sovereign waved his hand and stopped the discussions in the main hall. Then, he said to Ning Fan with a polite smile. "I'm just asking casually. I don't mean anything else. Your master's identity is special. Today's question will become the secret of my Rain Palace. It will not be leaked. Marquis White Robe, don't worry. "
"The reason why I summoned Marquis White Robe to meet me today is naturally because I have something to ask of you. I want to borrow your Inextinguishable Fire Body. However, before that, I would like to ask you to pass the four tests. This is the rule of the Rain Palace. The tests will be conducted by the four Void Fragmentation Realm experts. I wonder if you are ready? "
After confirming Ning Fan's identity as his master, the Rain Sovereign began to address him respectfully. Obviously, he was very afraid of the Old Devil.
"Mm. I'm ready." Ning Fan replied indifferently. He was not worried about the four tests of the Heaven, Earth, Profound and Yellow Stages.
After he revealed his identity as the Black Devil Clan, the Rain Sovereign's hostility towards him had obviously diminished.
The tests were just a formality which was dispensable.
However, the Rain Sovereign seemed to attach great importance to the four tests this time. Could it be that he has some other purpose in these tests?
Ning Fan's gaze shifted to Revered Ming who was standing behind the Rain Sovereign. When he saw a four-sided compass hidden in his sleeve, his heart suddenly turned cold.
Before this, Ning Fan had already inquired about the four tests. The tests of the Heaven, Earth, Profound and Yellow Stages would be conducted in four different heavenly dwelling spaces. The outsiders would not know the specific process of the tests.
The compass in Revered Ming's hand was marked with the words' Heaven, Earth, Profound and Yellow Stage '. It seemed like it could sense the entire process of the tests …
After connecting the dots with Yun Bushu's reminders, Ning Fan suddenly understood.
The Rain Sovereign setting up the four tests was a lie. His real purpose was to let Revered Ming examine the sovereign qi inside Ning Fan's body!
There must be many dangerous tests in the four tests this time which would force Ning Fan to use all of his means and have no choice but to use his sovereign qi …
"Unfortunately, the sovereign qi has already been hidden by me. You guys are destined to not be able to find anything!"
Ning Fan took a step forward. At the same time, Chu Chang 'an who was among the four Void Fragmentation Realm experts also took a step forward.
"The first test is the Heaven Stage. I will personally preside over it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Chang 'an's Void Fragmentation Realm aura force swept across the place. He lifted his finger and pointed at the space in front of him. The space in front of him immediately shattered, revealing a door of light.
"Opening the heavenly dwelling with a palm!" The eyes of many Void Refinement Realm experts in the palace burned with excitement. There were not many occasions where they could see a Void Fragmentation Realm old monster display this technique with their own eyes.
"Marquis White Robe, please follow me into this heavenly dwelling space to accept the first test!"
