Without a doubt, this white-robed young man who had secretly descended to the Tree World was none other than Ning Fan.
Among the Nine Realms, the Tree Realm belonged to the Lower Three Realms, but it was much stronger than the Rain Realm.
In the Tree World, there were more than two thousand cultivation countries. Each of them was governed by the three sovereigns of the Tree World. Liu Haoyue, who Ning Fan had met once before, was none other than the Snow Willow Devil Sovereign.
The Tree World was huge, almost twice the size of the Rain World.
At this moment, Ning Fan had just descended with the help of the jade slip from the Rain Gate. He was now standing in an area with a sea of trees. His surroundings were filled with endless ancient trees that towered into the sky. However, he had no idea where he was in the Tree World.
Five tiny sword spirits were circling around Ning Fan. All of them had been implanted with the Sword Seal of Life and Death. They had already been subdued by Ning Fan.
Although the five little girls were not willing to be subdued by Ning Fan, they did not dare to disobey the sword restriction. They could only serve Ning Fan as their master in frustration.
The first sword spirit was named Jingjing, dressed in a golden robe.
The second sword spirit was named Mo Mo, and she wore a green robe.
The third sword spirit's name was Shui Shui, and she wore a blue robe.
The fourth sword spirit was named Flower, and she was dressed in red.
The fifth sword spirit was called Tong Tong. She was a little stutterer and wore a yellow shirt.
"Humph, Big Sister will not surrender sincerely. This is just a fake surrender. Don't be too proud!" Jingjing said fiercely.
"Hmph, if you dare to lock Second Sister in the sword pouch again, Second Sister will teach you a lesson!" Mo Mo said fiercely.
"Humph, humph, if you want to learn Third Sister's sword technique, give me 100 trillion Immortal Jades first!" Shui Shui said fiercely.
"Hmph, there seems to be fighting sounds in the west, but Fourth Sister won't fight for you!" Huahua said fiercely.
"Hmph … Hmph … Hmph …" Little stutterer Tong Tong glared at him fiercely, unable to form a complete sentence.
The five little girls had a fierce expression on their faces, but Ning Fan acted as if he didn't see it.
He raised his head slightly and looked to the west across the sea of trees. He had just landed in the Tree World when he heard the sounds of fighting.
He spread out his Divine Sense slightly and immediately sensed that there was a group of cultivators fighting to the death in a tree valley 400 kilometers to the west.
"I can get some information from these cultivators."
Ning Fan waved his sleeve. Ignoring the resistance of the five sword spirits, he kept them into the sword pouch on his waist.
It was a cloth bag embroidered with silver sword patterns. It was hung next to the storage bag and was specifically used to store flying swords. Many sword cultivators loved to carry a sword pouch with them. Ning Fan used a sword pouch to store the five sword spirits.
After keeping the five little girls back into the sword pouch, Ning Fan's figure flashed. He directly leaped across a great distance and silently appeared in the tree valley that was four hundred li * (500m per li) away.
This was an extremely secluded tree valley located in the depths of the sea of trees, rarely visited by people. However, today, there were more than ten bandits surrounding three lone cultivators, and they were engaged in a shady business of killing and seizing treasures.
These bandits were at least at the Harmonious Spirit realm, and the strongest among them was an early Gold Core cultivator.
Although the outfits of these bandits were all different, they all had a silver flower pattern on their clothes, which seemed to be the emblem of a certain bandit cultivation force.
The cultivators who were besieged were an early Harmonious Spirit girl and two peak Harmonious Spirit old men.
The girl was wearing a yellow robe, with a faint demonic power of a tree monster around her body. Being besieged by bandits, her breathing was disordered and her face was tense.
The two peak Harmonious Spirit old men stood in front of the girl to protect her. They seemed to be the girl's elders. They were obviously seriously injured, but they still protected the girl to prevent her from being harmed by the bandits.
The two peak Harmonious Spirit old men risked their lives like ferocious tigers on the verge of death. Their remaining power caused the bandits' expressions to change slightly, and they didn't dare to approach them rashly. However, under the siege of the bandits, the two old men's injuries became more and more serious.
The Gold Core bandit squinted his eyes. He wasn't in a hurry to kill the two old men. He just smiled coldly and ordered the bandits beside him.
"This girl is the cauldron that the young lord has taken a fancy to. Don't harm her life. Capture her and bring her back to the young lord. As for these two old men, don't delay any longer. Just kill them! In this Earth Abyss Kingdom, the young lord's orders are absolute. All sects and clans are like ants to him! "
"Yes!"
Under the Gold Core bandit's order, more than ten Harmonious Spirit bandits immediately showed their trump cards. One after another, they attacked the two old men with their magical treasures. They avoided the girl and didn't attack her.
Under the fierce attack of the magical treasures, one of the old men was cut into two by a Spirit Realm flying sword in a flash.
The other old man was hit in the chest by a bronze hammer. He flew backward like a kite with a broken string. He vomited blood and fell to the ground. He was barely breathing and wasn't far from death.
"Uncle Xu! Uncle Qin! "The girl revealed a sorrowful expression. Her knees went soft and she fell to the ground.
Looking at the bandits who were approaching her step by step, the girl revealed a look of despair.
Her clan was only a Harmonious Spirit force, but the bandit cultivators in front of her all had powerful backgrounds.
She wasn't a match for these bandits, and she didn't dare to resist. It should be said that no one in the Earth Abyss Kingdom dared to resist these bandits.
She was going to be captured by these bandits and brought to their young lord as a cauldron.
She wasn't willing. She wasn't willing! But in this cultivation world where only the strong were respected, what could she do even if she was unwilling.
Just as the girl was in despair, the space in the tree valley suddenly rippled slightly.
A white-robed young man suddenly appeared in the tree valley. No one could see how he arrived.
When the Harmonious Spirit bandits saw the sudden appearance of this white-robed young man, they attacked him without hesitation.
"Kill all the passersby!" The Gold Core bandit ordered indifferently.
They couldn't see through the white-robed young man's cultivation. Even the Gold Core cultivators couldn't sense a trace of his Qi.
No one asked why this young man appeared here. Why would these bandits ask for a reason to kill someone?
The white-robed young man's expression was cold. He didn't even look at those Spirit Level magical treasures that were attacking him.
The girl looked at the young man's back with a numb expression and sighed bitterly.
She thought that she was innocent of provoking the young lord of these bandits and being captured as a cauldron. Now, it seemed that this white-robed young man who suddenly appeared was even more innocent. He was going to be killed by these bandits without any reason. How pitiful …
The girl couldn't see through the young man's cultivation. Seeing that the young man was surrounded by more than ten Harmonious Spirit cultivators, she naturally believed that the young man would die for sure.
"Even a peak Harmonious Spirit cultivator will die if he is besieged by these bandits …" As soon as the girl's voice faded, her eyes suddenly widened in disbelief.
Those powerful magical treasures turned into countless flowing lights and attacked the white-robed young man. However, they suddenly couldn't move forward even half an inch!
The space around the white-robed young man seemed to have frozen. All the magical treasures were forcefully stopped in mid-air.
In the next moment, without any warning, all the magic treasures turned into ashes and were annihilated!
During the whole process, the white-robed young man didn't even lift his hand. He had already broken through the siege of all the Harmonious Spirit cultivators!
"Who are you?! We are from the Soaring Flower Valley of the Earth Abyss Kingdom … "
The early Gold Core bandit saw the young man's strength and thought that this white-robed young man was actually a Nascent Soul cultivator.
For a moment, he naturally didn't dare to attack the young man again. However, he wasn't afraid of the young man. He arrogantly announced the power behind him, hoping to intimidate the young man.
However, the young man's eyes were like a bottomless abyss. There wasn't a single ripple in them. He wasn't frightened by the name of the Soaring Flower Valley of the Earth Abyss Kingdom at all.
He didn't even give the Gold Core bandit time to finish his words. He only slightly released his magical power and the space shook.
What kind of vast magical power was that? In front of such magical power, even a Gold Core or Nascent Soul cultivator was just a speck of dust!
In just an instant, all the bandits were smashed into minced meat and died a violent death!
"How, how is this possible?!" The young lady and the dying old man stood rooted to the ground in shock. They couldn't believe what they had just seen.
They couldn't imagine what cultivation realm this white-robed young man was at. He could kill a Gold Core Realm cultivator just by releasing his magical power!
Neither Gold Core Realm nor Nascent Soul Realm cultivators could do it … Could it be that this white-robed young man is actually a Divine Transformation Realm old monster?!
Just as the young lady and the injured old man were thinking about it, the white-robed young man flicked his sleeve and captured the Gold Core Realm cultivator's soul in his hand. Then, he searched his soul and memory.
After that, his figure flashed and disappeared without a trace without looking at the young lady and the others.
"Thank you for saving my life, Senior!"
The young lady sincerely knelt in the direction where the young man left. She kowtowed a few times before getting up to take care of the injured old man.
Of course, she didn't know that the white-robed young man had a cold personality. He didn't do it to save her but just to ask for directions.
"The Earth Abyss Kingdom, huh …?"
Ning Fan appeared on the top of a giant tree with a sway of his body. He wore a thoughtful look on his face.
Among the two thousand cultivation countries in the Tree World, the Earth Abyss Kingdom was a Void Grade Cultivation Country. It was located in the Northern Tree Sea of the Tree World.
The Tree World was divided into the North, South, East and West Tree Seas. In the North Tree Sea, the Earth Abyss Kingdom could be considered as a famous country.
The group of bandits that he killed belonged to the Soaring Flower Valley of the Earth Abyss Kingdom.
The Soaring Flower Valley was a bandit force. It was said that they had a Void Refinement Realm cultivator as their leader. Within the Earth Abyss Kingdom, there were very few people who dared to offend the people of the Soaring Flower Valley.
Ning Fan was naturally not afraid of the Soaring Flower Valley. A lowly bandit force like this could not make him feel any fear at all.
From the Gold Core Realm bandit's memories, Ning Fan learned that his destination, the Fire Tree Clan, was located in the West Tree Sea. It was extremely far away from the Earth Abyss Kingdom. He would need to travel across half of the Tree World to get there.
The Tree World was huge. If Ning Fan wants to go to the Fire Tree Clan, he would first need to find a complete map of the Tree World.
He pondered for a moment. After a while, he displayed his Void Teleportation Technique. With a single step, he flew towards the largest cultivation city in the Earth Abyss Kingdom.
The largest trading city of the Earth Abyss Kingdom, the Vast Cold City!
In the Gold Core Realm bandit's memory, the Vast Cold City was the largest cultivation city in the Earth Abyss Kingdom. The city was ten thousand zhang * (3.33m per zhang) tall and the area was ten thousand li * (500m per li) wide. There were countless cultivation shops in the city. Countless cultivators of the Earth Abyss Kingdom would come to this city to purchase items.
It was said that there was nothing that could not be bought in the Earth Abyss Kingdom. Tens of thousands of years ago, a Void Fragmentation Realm Dao Fruit was once sold in the Earth Abyss City. It had shocked the entire Tree World!
Naturally, good items like the Void Fragmentation Realm Dao Fruit were not something that one could come across every year. They could only be found by luck but not by searching for them.
Ning Fan retracted his travelling light and landed outside the northern gate of the Vast Cold City. He paid some immortal jade and directly entered the city.
The reason why he entered the city was to purchase a map.
He did not look nervous at all. He did not feel any pressure sneaking into the Tree World.
His gaze swept across the city. Most of the cultivators in the city were tree demons but there were also tree devils. At the same time, there were also many human cultivators who cultivated wood elemental cultivation methods.
Water cultivators were the most common in the Rain World while wood cultivators were the most common in the Tree World.
In the Tree World, there were Profound Cultivators, Demon Cultivators and Devil Cultivators. Moreover, it was not like the Rain World where Profound Cultivators were respected and Devil Cultivators were regarded as a disgrace.
There was no need for Ning Fan to deliberately conceal his identity when he was traveling in the Tree World.
Not long after Ning Fan entered the city, he suddenly frowned and halted his footsteps after walking on a bluestone street.
He saw a middle-aged scholar following him from afar. Ever since Ning Fan entered the city, he had been following him.
"What's the matter?"
Ning Fan turned around and stared at the middle-aged scholar coldly without any extra expression.
After he entered the city, the qi that he gave off was at the Early Nascent Soul Realm while this middle-aged scholar was just a Mid Gold Core Realm cultivator.
Since this middle-aged scholar was following him, he probably did not have any ill intentions.
When the middle-aged scholar realized that he was discovered by Ning Fan, he nervously approached him. Then, he gave Ning Fan a simple and honest smile. "Senior, please don't misunderstand me. I don't have any ill intentions following you. I just have something to ask you. It must be Senior's first time coming to the Vast Cold City …"
"So what if I am?"
"Since Senior has come to the Vast Cold City, I'm sure that you are here to purchase something. Even though my cultivation base is low, I know the one hundred thousand shops in the city like the back of my hand. As long as Senior pays me five hundred immortal jade, I'm willing to lead the way for Senior to any shop that you want to visit within today. "
As soon as the middle-aged scholar finished speaking, he became a little nervous. He did not know if Ning Fan was willing to pay five hundred immortal jade to hire him as a guide.
The Vast Cold City was extremely large. There were more than one hundred thousand shops in the city. If an ordinary cultivator were to visit every shop, he or she would not know how long it would take.
Therefore, there would often be Gold Core Realm rogue cultivators leading the way for others in exchange for payment.
The lifetime savings of a Gold Core Realm cultivator was about one hundred thousand immortal jade. The middle-aged scholar could earn five hundred immortal jade a day by leading the way. In a year, he could earn more than one hundred thousand immortal jade.
To Nascent Soul Realm old monsters, five hundred immortal jade was insignificant.
To some Gold Core Realm cultivators who were eager to shop, five hundred immortal jade was just a small amount of money.
To Ning Fan, five hundred immortal jade was just like a fleeting cloud …
He could save a lot of time by just spending five hundred immortal jade. Of course, Ning Fan was very willing to do so.
He patted his storage pouch and took out five hundred immortal jade, tossing them to the middle-aged scholar.
The middle-aged scholar kept the immortal jade and gradually calmed down. His attitude towards Ning Fan became even more respectful. "May I know what Senior wants to purchase in the Vast Cold City?"
"A map."
"A map, huh … If Senior only wants a map of the Earth Abyss Kingdom, you can purchase it with just a few thousand immortal jade. The Flowing Mist Pavilion at the north of the city sells it. If Senior needs a map of the Earth Abyss Kingdom and the ten countries around it, you will need to spend at least several tens of thousands of immortal jade. You have to go to the Qin Yi Pavilion to purchase it. If Senior needs a map of the other countries in the Northern Forest Sea, they can only be sold at the Han Yi Pavilion at the south of the city. May I know what kind of map Senior wants to purchase? "
The middle-aged scholar explained tirelessly. He seemed to be well-versed in this business.
"I want a complete map of the Tree World." Ning Fan said indifferently.
The middle-aged scholar was shocked when he heard Ning Fan's words. Then, he looked at Ning Fan with a strange expression. "Senior wants a complete map of the Tree World? Could it be that he was joking with the younger generation? Everyone knows that you can't buy a complete map of the Tree World. "
"Why? Could it be that there isn't a complete map of the Tree World in the Vast Cold City? "Ning Fan frowned. The middle-aged scholar's heart immediately turned cold.
The moment his eyes met Ning Fan's, the middle-aged scholar felt his heart palpitate. He could not withstand Ning Fan's devil might at all.
At first, he thought that Ning Fan was just an Early Nascent Soul Realm old monster. Now, it seemed like Ning Fan might still be concealing his cultivation base. Could he be at the Mid or Late Nascent Soul Realm?
The middle-aged scholar's cultivation base was not high but his eyesight was not weak. After sensing Ning Fan's terrifying devil might, how would he dare to offend Ning Fan? Instead, he became even more respectful.
The Tree World was divided into four great forest seas and each of them was ruled by the three great tree sovereigns. Each forest sea was heavily guarded and there was no complete map of the Tree World that was leaked to the outside world. This was common knowledge among the cultivators of the Tree World.
The middle-aged scholar did not understand why Ning Fan did not know about this common knowledge. However, after sensing Ning Fan's terrifying devil might, he did not dare to speak recklessly anymore. He thought to himself that Ning Fan was probably a cultivator from a clan who had never left the clan and rarely came into contact with the common knowledge of the outside world.
With that thought in mind, the middle-aged scholar could not help but explain patiently.
"Senior, you should know that the three sovereigns of the Tree World each occupy the east, west and south of the three great forest seas. They are not connected to each other. The maps of the three great forest seas are rarely leaked to the Northern Forest Sea for sale … The map of the Northern Forest Sea which covers the largest area in my Vast Cold City is also the map. Besides, this map is only sold in the Limitless Pavilion. It has always been sold to old monsters who are at the Peak Nascent Soul Realm and above … "
"The map of the Northern Forest Sea is extremely expensive. A copy of it usually costs one million immortal jade. Normally, only Divine Transformation Realm old monsters and some powerful great cultivators can afford it …"
As soon as the middle-aged scholar finished speaking, he secretly studied Ning Fan.
In his memory, there were also some Nascent Soul Realm old monsters who wanted to buy the map of the Northern Forest Sea. However, they would usually give up after hearing that the map cost one million immortal jade.
However, Ning Fan was different. His expression did not change at all when he heard that the map cost one million immortal jade as if it was insignificant to him.
"This person is definitely not an ordinary Nascent Soul Realm old monster! Perhaps … this person's true identity is a Peak Nascent Soul Realm great cultivator! "The moment the middle-aged scholar thought about it, he became even more astonished.
After listening to the middle-aged scholar's introduction, Ning Fan fell into silence and began to ponder.
Initially, he wanted to buy the map of the entire Tree World in Vast Cold City. Only now did he realize that it was impossible for him to buy it.
The Tree World was divided into four great forest seas. Each of the three sovereigns occupied a forest sea as their territory. They did not allow outsiders to spy on their territories and strictly limited the sale of the map.
Only the Northern Forest Sea did not have a Tree Sovereign. Therefore, it was not difficult to buy the map of the Northern Forest Sea.
"Forget it. I'll buy the map of the Northern Forest Sea first. Lead the way to the Everlasting Pavilion! "
Ning Fan made up his mind with just a glance. The middle-aged scholar was shocked once again.
He could not imagine that Ning Fan would really spend one million immortal jade to buy the map of the Northern Forest Sea!
In the middle-aged scholar's long life, buying the map of the Northern Forest Sea was definitely the biggest deal he had ever made!
"This junior will follow Senior's order. I'll bring Senior to the Everlasting Pavilion now!"
...
In the Soaring Flower Valley of the Earth Abyss Kingdom.
In a large hall in the depths of the valley, a black-robed young man stood with his hands clasped behind his back. His eyes were filled with anger as he stared at the dismembered corpses of the bandit cultivators.
"There is actually someone in the Earth Abyss Kingdom who dares to offend my Soaring Flower Valley. He is simply courting death! This Young Lord wants to see which audacious person dares to kill my Young Lord Soaring Flower's subordinates! "
The black-robed young man patted his storage pouch and took out a small silver mirror. It was actually a Mid Grade Mortal Void Treasure.
Even though it was just a Mid Grade Mortal Void Treasure, it was very extraordinary. The mirror actually contained a trace of qi left behind by a Void Fragmentation Realm expert.
The black-robed young man waved the small mirror and shone it at the dismembered corpses. All of a sudden, Ning Fan's figure was reflected in the mirror.
"He is in the Vast Cold City of the Earth Abyss Kingdom! This person could kill Gold Core Realm cultivators with just his qi. His cultivation base is at least at the Early Divine Transformation Realm. I have heard of cultivators who are at the Mid Divine Transformation Realm and above in the Northern Forest Sea but I have never heard of this person before! Is this person just an Early Divine Transformation Realm ant … Humph! The Vast Cold City is not far away. I will personally take action and kill this Divine Transformation Realm ant! The lord of the city is just a Void Glimpse Stage cultivator. Coincidentally, I also have some old scores to settle with him! "
The black-robed young man took a step forward. In a flash of Void Inquiry Stage light, he flew towards the Vast Cold City.
He was actually a Void Inquiry Stage cultivator!
In a Void Grade Cultivation Country like the Earth Abyss Kingdom, he was definitely a devil lord who ran amok!
Whoever provokes him would die! (To be continued.)
