Ning Fan simplified the matter of obtaining the ten Ming Luo puppets to the few Ming Luo priests. Of course, he did not tell them about the fact that he had killed the Returning Essence Tree King to avoid scaring the Underworld Raja Race.
He briefly told the story of how he met the Min Luo Treant. He only said that the Min Luo Treant was trapped in the Rain World, and did not mention anything about the Dark Sparrow's Grave.
Gu Luo, Xu Luo, and the other priests all had tears in their old eyes. They wouldn't cry when the Underworld Luo Clan was bullied.
When one hundred thousand of their clansmen perished because of Qing Dai, they would never be able to enter the reincarnation cycle.
However, when they heard that the last Tree Emperor was still in the mortal world, they could not help but cry tears of joy.
Their ancestors were still alive and with them … Now it was all good.
Gu Luo suggested heading to the Rain World to rescue the Tree Emperor, but this suggestion was rejected by Xu Luo and the other priests.
The Last Tree Emperor had been unable to escape for so many years. Clearly, it was extremely difficult for him to escape.
With their insignificant cultivation, not to mention the fact that it was impossible for them to go to the Rain World, even if they went there, they would definitely not be able to save the Tree Emperor. Instead, they would expose the fact that the Tree Emperor was still alive.
The matter of rescuing the Last Tree Emperor could only be discussed at length.
At this moment, their top priority was to quickly summon all the members of the Nether Rakshasa Clan in the Si Luo Bamboo Sea to return to the clan and attend the funeral of the ten Void Refinement Realm ancestors …
Night gradually fell. In the Illusory Graveyard in the center of Si Luo City, a huge wooden frame was set up and a bonfire was lit.
The so-called Illusory Grave was the burial ground of the Nether Raja Clan's past clansmen.
Countless Underworld Luo clansmen rushed back to Si Luo City from all over the Bamboo Ocean. Underworld Luo clansmen were busy everywhere in the city, preparing for the funeral of their ten ancestors.
Gu Luo, Xu Luo, and the other priests, along with Qing Dai, the Grand Priest, were all busy preparing for the funeral.
Ning Fan, on the other hand, seemed to have nothing to do and began strolling around the city.
Now, all the members of the Ming Luo Clan knew that Ning Fan was a Void Inquiry Stage cultivator and a friend of their clan. Therefore, no one stopped him from walking freely in the city.
The Illusory Grave was lit with incense of various colors. Even if Ning Fan walked to the western part of the city, he could still smell the strong scent of incense.
He walked alone in the night sky lit up by the bonfire. His heart was unprecedentedly peaceful.
He had heard about Qingdai's past from the six priests.
A thousand years ago, when Qing Dai was still young, her mother, who was the High Priestess, died at the hands of the Cedar Clan.
Within a thousand years, a total of one hundred thousand members of the Nether Sieve Clan sacrificed their own cultivation base to condense a Cultivation Pill for Qing Dai to consume at the cost of having their souls scattered and never being able to enter the cycle of reincarnation for eternity. It allowed Qing Dai to finally break through to the Void Glimpse Stage …
The 100,000 Underworld Asura Clan members didn't hesitate to give up their lives for the Underworld Asura Clan to prosper, but for the sake of retrieving their ancestor's remains. They didn't want their ancestor's remains to wander outside …
The ten Ming Luo spiritual puppets all had Void Glimpse Stage cultivation base. To the Ming Luo Clan that had fallen into decline today, they were a powerful combat force.
If these ten Void Glimpse Stage spiritual puppets were used to protect the Nether Luo Clan, given Qing Dai's puppet techniques, it would definitely be enough to turn the Nether Luo Clan into a first-rate force in the Azure Cold Country again. They would no longer be bullied by the other tree clans …
However, the people of the Underworld Siever Clan were very, very stupid. They undid the puppet formation of the ten puppets and destroyed the ten puppets, leaving only ten ordinary corpses without any combat power.
Then, he buried the corpses of these ancestors …
"They are stupid … but I don't dislike it …"
The night breeze was slightly cold. Ning Fan closed his eyes and recalled the past of the Hu Clan in Yue Country.
In order to protect his clan, Hu Fengzi didn't hesitate to disperse his soul and transform it into a cultivation pill …
The 100,000 members of the Underworld Siever Clan didn't hesitate to disperse their souls in order to retrieve their ancestor's remains and bury them …
There was never a lack of smart people on the path of cultivation. Any old monster who had gone through a sea of blood was an intelligent person.
On the path of cultivation, there was always a lack of stupid people. Despite knowing that it was impossible, despite knowing that there was a mountain of knives and a sea of fire in front of him, for the sake of protecting his obsession, he still did not hesitate to die. He did not betray justice, even if there were millions of people, he would still go forward!
They knew that everything they were doing was meaningless but they still stubbornly searched for a result!
They knew that going against the Heavens would lead to trepidation at every step but they still smiled for her sake. They would rather betray the Heavens than betray them!
Those who were too smart and calculative would usually not be happy.
The faces of Zhi He, Mu Xiaoliang and the other girls appeared in front of Ning Fan's eyes. Suddenly, he smiled knowingly.
If these silly girls had his protection, perhaps their hands would not be stained with blood for the rest of their lives and they would live happily ever after.
Great wisdom appears to be slow-witted, great skill appears to be clumsy, great sound is silent, great elephant is formless, great abundance is like rushing, great debate is like being slow, great generosity is like being bent, great accomplishment is like being incomplete …
This was the purest Great Dao!
When a superior scholar hears the Dao, he must diligently follow it. When a mediocre scholar hears the Dao, he must either live or die. When a lowly scholar hears the Dao, he must laugh. If he does not laugh, he will not be able to attain the Dao!
The people of the world laughed at the stupidity of the Underworld Raja Clan, but they didn't know that the Underworld Raja Clan's actions were in line with human ethics and compatible with the Great Dao.
If everyone could understand the Underworld Raja Clan's Dao, then this Dao wouldn't be considered a Great Dao.
Ning Fan took out the Blood Wine Gourd and gulped down a mouthful of wine. Then, he suddenly turned his head to look at the huge bonfire in the center of Si Luo City. His eyes became deeper and deeper.
The extreme of the Great Dao was the opposite!
The extremity of Great Reality turned into nothingness!
Throughout Ning Fan's path of cultivation until now, he had seen the void as void in the beginning. Later on, he saw the void as not void and in the end, he still saw the void as void.
However, at this moment, his eyes were clearly looking at reality, but the will in his eyes was illusory!
He had gradually comprehended the Void and Corporeal Intents. His comprehension of the Void Pierce Stage was already sufficient and he had almost completely comprehended the Absolute Void Stage!
He looked at the bonfire in the Illusion Grave from afar and watched as the corpses of the ten Void Refinement Realm old ancestors were gradually burned into ashes.
He saw the three hundred and twenty thousand members of the Underworld Raja Clan kneeling on the ground. Their eyes were filled with tears as they sincerely prayed and offered sacrifices to the bonfire.
"My Underworld Raja Clan was born as a tree. Our roots are rooted in the ground. Where our roots are is our country! Our country can be destroyed, our roots can be burned, our bodies can be destroyed and our Dao can vanish. Only our ancestors are not to be bullied or defiled by others! "
"After ten thousand years of calamity, the bones of our ancestors were scattered. Thinking about it makes my heart ache! Our descendants are unfilial. I swear that I won't be satisfied until I kill ten thousand of them! "
"Our descendants swear in the Illusion Grave that even if all three hundred and twenty thousand members of our clan die, we will definitely kill ten thousand of them! If we violate this oath, we shall be killed by the heavens! "
That vast oath was powerful and resonant, causing ripples to form in Ning Fan's heart.
Under the bonfire, Qing Dai, who was dressed in luxurious clothes, danced around the bonfire barefooted and prayed devoutly.
Her eyes were filled with nostalgia for her ancestors. Her dancing posture was just too beautiful. She was just like a dancing green butterfly …
The corner of Ning Fan's mouth curved into a smile. He lifted the gourd of blood wine and drank a few mouthfuls of it.
His eyes became clearer as he watched Qing Dai's dancing posture.
Her dancing posture was real while her nostalgia for her ancestors was illusory.
The bonfire was real while the voices of the oath that melted in the bonfire were illusory.
The corpses of the ten ancestors were real. When their corpses turned into ashes in the blazing flames, the sorrowful cries of the ancestors that reverberated across the entire Si Luo City were illusory.
Ning Fan bent his palm and drew a bamboo leaf from one of the Xiang Fei Bamboo.
That bamboo leaf was real. However, as Ning Fan exerted his palm force, the bamboo leaf gradually turned into a cloud of illusory green qi.
As Ning Fan willed it, the illusory green qi turned back into the bamboo leaf again …
Illusory and real were decided by a single thought!
Ning Fan threw the bamboo leaf back into the soil. He closed his eyes and his body gradually faded in the darkness of the night.
Gradually, his physical body turned into nothingness, as if it had disappeared into the night!
That was the transformation of his physical body into nothingness. It was a complete transformation!
When he was at the Void Inquiry Stage, Ning Fan had also transformed his physical body into nothingness. However, he had not reached this stage yet!
At this moment, thanks to this trip to the Si Luo Bamboo Sea, his comprehension of the word 'void' was completely perfected!
As long as he had enough magic power, he could break through the bottleneck of the Void Pierce Stage and attain the Absolute Void Stage!
With a thought in his mind, his body gradually reappeared in the boundless night.
There was no sadness or joy on his face. He was calm and composed as if attaining the Absolute Void Stage was a matter of course and he was not surprised at all.
"Silly little brother, you have already broken through to the Absolute Void Stage. If you have enough magic power now, you can break through to the Absolute Void Stage in one go … However, I have to remind you that the biggest obstacle for you to break through to the Absolute Void Stage isn't comprehension or magic power but the heavenly tribulation … If you are not fully prepared, you must not go through the tribulation rashly. The heavenly tribulation this time will certainly be stronger than the previous one. There is an eighty to ninety percent chance that it will be the Yin Wind Tribulation!" Luo You chuckled in his mind and reminded him.
"I understand … Thank you."
Ning Fan returned a smile to Luo You. Usually, Luo You seemed to be indifferent to him. She purposely kept a distance from him and did not talk much with him.
However, every time she saw him in trouble, she would show concern and remind him.
Even though Luo You avoided him in all aspects, she was not necessarily heartless towards him.
After all, what kind of hatred did she have that could make her run away from her emotions like this …
* Boom *
The wooden frame of the bonfire in the center of Si Luo City suddenly let out a loud bang. It was shattered by a huge palm imprint that fell from the sky!
The ashes of the fire scattered in the night sky. The ashes of the ten Void Refinement Realm corpses also dispersed along with the wind.
In the vast sky above, the sneers of the three old men suddenly resounded.
"The Ming Luo Clan is really stupid! They clearly found the Void Glimpse Stage spiritual puppets of their ten ancestors but they destroyed them and cremated their ancestors … How stupid! "
"If there are ten Void Glimpse Stage experts in the Ming Luo Clan, I'm afraid we would have to lose more people after we massacred them today. However, the ten Void Glimpse Stage spiritual puppets have already been destroyed. There are only the Void Glimpse Stage high priest and two Void Inquiry Stage experts left in the Ming Luo Clan. They are not worth mentioning at all!"
"How dare a declining clan like the Ming Luo Clan kill the people of my Snow Pine Clan? They are simply courting death!"
Before the three sneers stopped, an army of nearly one million Gold Core Realm cultivators suddenly descended from the sky above Si Luo City!
These cultivators were divided into four clans with four huge flags – Snow Pine Clan, Stone Tree Clan, Thunder Cypress Clan, and Divine Joe Clan!
The three people who were sneering were the three ancestors of the Cedar Clan. They were all Great Void cultivators!
The fact that they managed to expose the matter of the Void Glimpse Stage spiritual puppets and so on showed that they had already investigated the background of the Underworld Luo Clan before they came to the Thought Sifting Bamboo Sea!
They had come prepared, and this time, they wanted to annihilate the Nether Raja Clan in one go!
Even that Lord, whose soul had turned into bamboo and whose life was no better than reincarnation, could not stop the four clans' determination to destroy the Underworld Net!
"Who is the madman who killed my child? Get the hell out here!" Beside the three Old Ancestors Snowpine, a middle-aged man dressed in a silver robe roared angrily.
He was a Void Pierce Stage cultivator and the current clan leader of the Snow Pine Clan. His name was Ao Wang!
Ao Chen, the young lord of the Snow Song Sect whom Ning Fan had killed, was his son!
The Cedar Clan and the other three Tree Clans descended abruptly, mobilizing a million cultivators.
Among them, there were 30 Void Refinement cultivators!
There were 11 Void Glimpse Stage cultivators, 7 Void Inquiry Stage cultivators, 6 Void Pierce Stage cultivators and 6 Absolute Void Stage cultivators!
All the high level cultivators of the four clans were mobilized to participate in the bloodbath of the Underworld Luo Clan. Only the low level cultivators were left in the clans!
Qing Dai, Gu Luo, Xu Luo, the other priests and the three hundred and twenty thousand members of the Underworld Luo Clan raised their heads and looked at the one million cultivators in the night sky. Their eyes were filled with rage!
Their ritual to worship their ancestors was destroyed by the cultivators of the four clans!
The ashes of their ancestors were scattered by the four clans and it was difficult to retrieve them!
Even though they knew that the other party had a large number of experts, the members of the Underworld Luo Clan were still filled with righteous indignation. Immediately, hundreds of members of the Underworld Luo Clan ignited their demon cores and demon nascent souls and soared into the sky, wanting to perish together with the cultivators of the four clans!
They could endure being cursed, bullied and ridiculed by others. They did not care.
However, their ancestors were bullied and their ashes were scattered by others. How could they endure it? How could they endure it?!
"You've gone too far!"
Ao Wang, the clan leader of the Snow Pine Clan, sneered coldly in the sky. He stomped on the ground with the tip of his foot and an ocean of void immediately appeared in the night sky. He lifted his finger and pointed. The physical bodies of the hundreds of members of the Underworld Luo Clan who soared into the sky exploded, turning into blood mist and dissipating in the air!
"How dare mere Gold Core Realm and Nascent Soul Realm ants fight against me? You're simply overestimating your own strength! Currently, the only ones in the Underworld Luo Clan who can make me look them in the eye are the two Void Inquiry Stage cultivators. Even your Void Glimpse Stage High Priest Qing Dai is just an ant in my eyes! "
"I'll count to three. If the Void Inquiry Stage maniac who killed my son still doesn't show himself, I'll immediately order a bloodbath of the Underworld Luo Clan!"
"One!"
"Two!"
Before Ao Wang could count to three, a sword chime that sounded like a dragon's roar suddenly resounded in the sky!
In the night sky, a white-robed young man who was stepping on a huge black sword formed by his sword sense suddenly appeared in the night sky.
Before Ao Wang could see the young man's face clearly, the young man and the sword sense beneath his feet actually shattered at the same time!
For an instant, Ao Wang seemed to have seen the white-robed young man turn into black robes strangely. However, it was also like an illusion and he could not see it clearly.
At the next moment, a sword sense that was as black as ink swept across the night sky. Before the one million Gold Core Realm cultivators of the four clans could react, they were already killed by the sword sense. In an instant, two to three hundred thousand cultivators had died!
The old ancestors of the four clans were all Absolute Void Realm experts. The Snow Pine Clan had three Absolute Void Realm experts while the other three clans had one each.
The six Absolute Void Realm experts acted at the same time and blocked the sword sense that swept across the night sky. Only then did they prevent more low-grade clansmen from dying.
The six of them suppressed their anger. Before they could attack the white-robed young man, they saw countless black shadows suddenly appearing beside Ao Wang.
The ink shadow shattered and condensed, forming a vast killing force that strangled Ao Wang within the ink shadow!
When the black shadows dispersed, Ning Fan who was dressed in white robes held Ao Wang's primordial spirit in his hand. His eyes were filled with boundless baleful qi as he coldly glanced at the cultivators of the four clans.
With just a glance, even the six Absolute Void Realm experts of the four clans felt an unconcealable sense of fear!
"I am Lu Bei. I am the one who killed the young clan leader of your Snow Pine Clan. What can you do to me?!"
As soon as Ning Fan finished his words, the entire vast sky fell into dead silence!
At the next moment, a Void Refinement Realm cultivator who had just returned from the North Tree Sea suddenly exclaimed!
"He is Lu Bei! He is the madman that the Vine Sovereign has captured! He actually escaped to my East Tree Sea! "
