Once the title was confirmed, the fact that Ning Fan and the Pill Sovereign would be in charge of the Rain World together almost immediately became a fact. No one was allowed to question it.
From then on, Li Cangtian no longer called himself the Pill Sovereign, but the Li Sovereign. His real name was Li Cangtian, and Emperor Li was his master's title, which he had inherited.
Ning Fan called it sin. The word 'sin' referred to one's introspection and self-questioning.
After Ning Fan and Li Cangtian decided to declare themselves as sovereigns, some old monsters who were good at adapting to the situation cupped their fists and congratulated them.
Ning Fan, on the other hand, waved his hand, signaling everyone not to be in a hurry to congratulate him.
"Among you, there are some trusted aides of the Rain Emperor, and I don't trust them. Four princes, please find these people and let Senior Li plant a restriction on them. "
"As for the Nine Great Hall Masters, a few of them need to be replaced."
"I'll return to Yue Country and go into seclusion. I'll have to trouble Senior Li to handle everything."
Ning Fan cupped his fists at Li Cangtian with a smile. Then, he sent a message to Yun Bushu via telepathy. Stepping on the Sin Li Mountain, he directly returned to Yue Country, leaving all the mess to Li Cangtian to handle.
The cultivators of the Rain World who were present at the scene were left speechless. Since ancient times, there were only a few Divine Sovereigns who would neglect their proper duties like Ning Fan.
Of course, no one dared to criticize him in public.
Li Cangtian was stunned. Then, he looked at the direction where Ning Fan had left.
Li Cangtian knew that the reason why Ning Fan was in such a hurry to return to Yue Country was probably related to the search for his mother.
Perhaps Ning Fan had already found his mother and was in a hurry to return to Yue Country. Or perhaps something had happened to his mother …
Yun Bushu's eyes widened. Ning Fan's voice was still echoing in his ears.
"I have a favor to ask Third Uncle. If my father returns to the Rain Palace, tell him that I've found the person he's been searching for. She's currently safe and sound. "
Yun Bushu did not expect that Ning Fan would actually address him as Third Uncle and Yun Tianjue as his father. Ning Fan's tone was no longer as distant as before, which really made him feel incredulous.
What he did not expect was that Ning Fan had actually found the person that Yun Tianjue had been looking for.
Ning Qian!
"Could it be that Ning Qian is trapped in the forbidden area? Could it be that Ning Fan broke into the forbidden area just to save my mother? "
Yun Bushu's eyes were filled with joy, excitement, sorrow, and anger.
He was happy and excited because Ning Qian had been found safe and sound. To his Big Brother Tian Jue, it was a piece of good news.
He sighed because Yun Tianjue had already lost his memories and his seven emotions. Although he was persistently searching for someone, he didn't even know who he was looking for.
He was furious because Ning Qian was actually trapped in the Rain Emperor's Forbidden Land. Could it be that it was the doing of the Rain Emperor?
For a moment, the last trace of disappointment that Yun Bushu felt due to the death of the Rain Emperor gradually disappeared.
The Rain Emperor had really brought this upon himself, and couldn't bear it!
Yun Qingge looked at Ning Fan's back as he left. He wanted to say something but hesitated.
She had a question to ask Ning Fan.
She wanted to ask Ning Fan where did the Rain Sovereign Token come from.
The Rain Sovereign Token should have disappeared along with her father. Why would it be in Ning Fan's hands? Why?
If she knows where Ning Fan found the Rain Sovereign's Token from, perhaps she might be able to find her father's remains.
Yun Qingge did not know that his father was still alive and was currently trapped in the Lost World Tower.
She secretly made up her mind that if she had the chance, she would look for Ning Fan and ask him about the doubts in her heart.
Now was not the time to ask about it. Yun Qingge could tell that Ning Fan had something important to deal with since he was in a hurry to return to Yue Country.
She would ask about the doubts in her heart later.
The four imperial princes identified the trusted aides of the Rain Emperor in the crowd, and handed them over to Li Cang Tian to plant a restriction on them. Li Cang Tian would then be in charge of their lives.
The new Emperor had just been appointed, so all the trivial matters were handled by Li Cangtian.
The announcement of the Rain Emperor's death, the fake news, as well as the news of the new Emperor's ascension to the throne, all of these also needed to be handled properly.
Even though everyone was well aware that the Rain Sovereign was killed by Ning Fan, they could not tell others about it.
"To the public, we can say that the Rain Sovereign accidentally entered the forbidden area and was harmed by the corpse beasts," some cultivators of the Rain World suggested.
If he announces to the public that Ning Fan had killed the Rain Sovereign and usurped the throne, it would inevitably cause the cultivators of the Rain World to panic.
Some things, it was enough for everyone to know …
After the death of the Rain Sovereign, the Rain World would normally be plunged into chaos. However, due to Ning Fan's sudden ascension to the throne, no one dared to create chaos in the blink of an eye.
From now on, the Rain World belonged to Ning Fan.
None of the Void Glimpse Stage cultivators in the Rain World dared to make Ning Fan their enemy.
Some of the old monsters gradually began to harbor hope in their hearts. The death of a weak and incompetent Rain Emperor, who was jealous of the virtuous and capable, and the arrival of a new Rain Emperor who was aggressive and had a bright future ahead of him, should be a good thing for the Rain Realm.
With the speed at which Ning Fan rose to power, his future would certainly be boundless. The Rain World might be able to get rid of its awkward position of being the weakest in the Nine Worlds.
Everyone had their own thoughts. Yu Chong 'er, on the other hand, had pure thoughts.
She was happy and slightly disappointed.
She was happy that Ning Fan was safe and sound. That was good enough.
She was disappointed that Ning Fan had actually become the new Rain Sovereign. His status was revered and it gave her a feeling that he was too high to reach.
Gradually, she began to feel a little inferior … However, she did not realize that she was feeling inferior.
She felt that she must be sick. Otherwise, why would she feel unhappy when she saw Ning Fan ascending to the Sovereign Realm?
It was obviously a good thing. Why would she feel unhappy? Why …
...
Ning Fan rode on Nie Li and left the Heavenly Cloud State and the Middle State.
He quietly returned to Yue Country. With Nie Li's speed, he would return in a day.
Under Li Cangtian's blockade, the news of the Rain Sovereign's death and the new Rain Sovereign's succession had yet to spread in the Rain World.
When Ning Fan rode on Nie Li back to Yue Country, the cultivators of Yue Country naturally did not know that he had already become the new Rain Sovereign.
However, when they saw Nie Li under Ning Fan's feet, all of them were shocked.
Nie Li's aura force was too strong. It was so strong that no one dared to look at it directly.
Even though ordinary cultivators knew that Nie Li was strong, they could only guess that it was above the Divine Transformation Realm.
However, Ming Que, Su Yan, Mei Chen and the other women knew how terrifying it was.
"Is this the Nie Li that Ning Fan subdued …?" Mu Luo who was sitting opposite You Huang and drinking wine at the bottom of the Dark Sparrow's Grave suddenly had a flash of light in his eyes. Then, he let out a sigh.
Ning Fan was able to subdue such a powerful demon beast with his Origin Returning Realm cultivation base. Indeed, he was not someone that ordinary people could compare with …
"Hmm? The Nie Li that killed the Vine Sovereign … Interesting. Little Fanfan is actually riding on Nie Li in public. Isn't he afraid that the Rain Sovereign will know about it …? "
"The thoughts of the Ancient Chaos' inheritor are really hard to guess … It will be very interesting to pester this person for a lifetime."
In the Godly Void Pavilion, the little demoness was leisurely enjoying her tea. Suddenly, she let out an evil smile.
"This … Where did you get this huge bird from?! It's so powerful! "When Ning Fan rode on Nie Li back to Seven Apricot City, Ming Que was the first one who came out to greet him and exclaimed.
However, when she saw Ning Fan's extremely serious injuries, she asked worriedly. "Such heavy injuries. What happened?"
"Screech!" Nie Li was a little displeased when she was called a huge bird. Moreover, she could feel that Ming Que also had an extremely strong True Spirit Bloodline which made her even more displeased.
All the existing True Spirits were the enemies of the Fu Li Clan.
"This Immemorial Dark Sparrow is my friend. You can't attack her." Ning Fan squatted down and stroked Nie Li's neck to comfort her.
"Screech …" Nie Li let out a low cry and agreed.
Even though she did not like the members of the True Spirit Clan, she would treat Ming Que differently if she was Ning Fan's friend.
Ning Fan stood up and patted Ming Que's tiny head. "It's just a small injury. Don't worry about it … This Purple-Eyed Peacock's name is Zi Li. She's my demon mount. She's one of us. I'm going into seclusion. Tell the others about Zi Li and tell them not to panic. "
As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Fan kept Nie Li into his Cauldron Ring. With a flash, he returned to Si Fan Palace.
"It's a female, huh …" Hearing Ning Fan's relaxed tone, Ming Que felt relieved. She was no longer worried about Ning Fan's injuries. Instead, the corners of her mouth curved into a smirk and she stared at Ning Fan's back with a strange look.
After a long time, she clicked her tongue and sighed. "Brother Biscuit's really a heavy taste …"
Alright. She had already misunderstood him.
Ning Fan did not deliberately hide the existence of Nie Li.
If he wants to stabilize the Rain World, he would need the deterrence of Nie Li.
Only a few people in the Rain World knew what Nie Li was. Most of the cultivators only knew that it was a gigantic peacock with purple eyes and black feathers. They knew that this peacock was incomparably powerful.
Even if someone knew that it was Nie Li, Ning Fan would not care.
Even if someone guessed that he was Lu Bei who killed the Vine Sovereign based on this Nie Li, Ning Fan would not care.
The crime of killing the Vine Sovereign had already been erased by Wei Xuan and the others.
Even if this matter spreads out, there was no need for him to be afraid of anything. It would just increase his notoriety.
There was no need for him to hide or conceal anything anymore.
He was already the sovereign of the Rain World!
As soon as he returned to Si Fan Palace, Ning Fan immediately went to the Yuan Yao World.
At this moment, he only had one thing in mind and that was to save his mother from this calamity.
He stepped into the medicine shop and looked at the stone statue of the winged demon beside the green coffin with a smile.
She was Ning Fan's mother. He had saved his mother.
He slowly approached the stone statue and touched the cold skin of the winged demon. He felt a slight pain in his heart.
"I've heard of many secret techniques of the Devil Dao that can extract the blood of living beings. The bodies of living beings who have lost their blood would turn into stone while their souls would be sealed in stone …"
"That year, in order to save me, my mother had used up her last drop of blood. She should have died, but she was sealed into a rock by someone, saving her life. Who was the one who sealed her into a rock? Who was the one who placed her in the third level of the forbidden area?
Ning Fan had searched through the memories of the Rain Sovereign. There were a total of ninety million stone statues in the forbidden area of the third floor. All of them were the life sacrifices that the Rain Sovereign had once offered to the Cloud Lion.
The ninety million mortals, cultivators and demon beasts were all sacrificed by the Rain Sovereign. All of them retained their memories … except for Ning Qian!
Ning Qian was not the life sacrifice that the Rain Sovereign offered to the Cloud Lion!
Was it the Cloud Lion who captured Ning Qian and refined her into a stone statue?
Or was it someone else … For example, the powerful seven-colored old man?
Old Ancestor Dong Xu had once divined for Ning Fan and said that Ning Qian's fate had been changed by someone with great divine power … Could it be the doing of the seven-colored old man? Only immortal emperors would have the ability to change someone's fate.
Could it be him?
"I can't figure it out … But no matter what, my mother's soul did not disperse because of her petrification … It's a good thing."
"A thousand years ago, my mother had sacrificed all of her demon blood to save me. Today, I will repay her with my blood and help her break free from her petrification."
Ning Fan patted his storage pouch and took out a dark red pill bottle. He then consumed all the pills in the bottle.
This pill was called Blood Yang Pill. It was a Mid Sixth Grade Pill. It could replenish the qi and blood of a cultivator and increase their strength by thirty percent within a day.
Of course, this thirty percent was calculated based on the Second Level of the Golden Body Refining Realm. If the body refining realm of the person consuming the pill was higher than the Second Level of the Golden Body Refining Realm, the increase would be greatly reduced.
The reason why Ning Fan consumed the Blood Yang Pill now was naturally not to increase his strength.
He just wanted to replenish his qi and blood.
He wanted to use his own blood to save his mother.
After consuming the Blood Yang Pill, Ning Fan's face turned red. He flicked his sleeves and a gust of wind swept up the winged demon statue. Then, he flew to a quiet pine forest in the Yuan Yao World.
There was a pond in the forest which was just big enough to contain the stone statue.
Ning Fan placed the stone statue into the pond. Then, he took out countless immortal jades and spiritual ores to determine the formation eye of the pond and set up a grand formation.
This formation was very similar to the Ten Thousand Spirit Blood Formation in the third level of the forbidden area.
The grand formation in the third level of the forbidden area was set up by extracting the blood of living beings. It was called the Ten Thousand Spirit Blood Formation.
This formation was set up by reversing the spirit. It was called the Reverse Spirit Blood Formation. Its function was also the opposite. It was to turn magic power into blood and return it to the people in the formation.
Just like the Ten Thousand Spirit Blood Formation, this formation was also a Peak Immortal Void Realm grand formation. It had a total of ninety thousand formation eyes.
After the grand formation was set up, a blood-red six-pointed star formation mark immediately appeared on the ground.
The light of the formation mark, however, was moving in the opposite direction.
"There is good and there is bad in this world. If you borrow something, you have to return it. I have to return the blood that I owe! "
Ning Fan walked into the blood formation step by step towards the pond. His face was as pale as a piece of paper.
He wanted to disperse his blood and return it to his mother!
During the trip to the Middle State, Ning Fan was severely injured. However, he did not have the time to treat his injuries at all.
Even though he had taken some pills to suppress his injuries, setting up a Peak Immortal Void Realm grand formation consumed too much of his mental and physical strength. Moreover, his injuries worsened.
Currently, it was not suitable for him to disperse his blood.
However, Ning Fan was unwilling to wait any longer!
He walked to the edge of the pond and bit his finger. The blood on his finger turned into silk threads and wrapped around the stone statue. Gradually, it formed a massive blood cocoon with the stone statue in the center.
This was the demon cocoon technique of the demon race. It could isolate the heavenly secrets and protect the remnant soul from dispersing.
After creating the blood cocoon, Ning Fan sat cross-legged at the edge of the pond. He placed a finger on his glabella and took out the Separation Slayer that he had not used for a long time.
All this while, he had neglected to refine his magical treasure. This treasure was no longer suitable for Void Fragmentation realm battles.
However, it was enough to release his blood.
* Chi *
Ning Fan rolled up his sleeves and cut his right arm with the sword. His blood flowed along his arm and dripped into the pond, forming circles of red.
* Drip, drip, drip *
Ning Fan looked at the pond that was gradually dyed red and felt relieved.
His blood flowed out drop by drop. However, the medicinal power of the Blood Yang Pill made his body produce blood rapidly, replenishing the lost blood rapidly.
One day, two days, three days … ten days passed. The pond had turned dark red.
Ning Fan no longer dripped his blood. A trace of black starlight wrapped around his left index finger and wiped it on his right arm. The wound immediately healed.
The blood was enough.
However, the stone statue in the demon cocoon still needed countless years to absorb the blood to gradually remove its petrification.
Ning Fan stayed in the cocoon for a thousand years before he woke up.
Ning Fan didn't know how long he would stay in the cocoon … ten years, a hundred years or even a thousand years.
Ning Fan took out countless treasures that could stabilize one's soul and save one's life and threw them into the pond.
No matter what, as long as he was here, his mother would never die.
One day, his mother would revive and wake up.
"It's easy to repay the blood, but it's hard to repay the kindness … but my heart is finally at ease."
After saving his mother, setting up the blood pond and forming a blood cocoon to protect her life, Ning Fan's guilt had finally been repaid.
At this moment, his mind was unprecedentedly clear.
His magical power was already enough to reach the Void Fragmentation realm, but he couldn't resolve the knot in his heart.
At this moment, Ning Fan's heart was at ease, enough to reach the Void Fragmentation realm!
"The Void Fragmentation realm doesn't need to break the void, but the falsehood in the cultivator's heart. Only by comprehending the truth and falsehood and understanding life and death can one become an immortal. The first step of cultivation is still the Dao Heart. "
"What is falsehood?!"
Ning Fan's eyes lit up. His figure flashed and returned to Si Fan Palace.
His finger drew a line in front of him, slowly cutting open the void, revealing the dark void below.
Ning Fan did not say much and stepped into the void.
He looked at the boundless void and recalled the previous reality. He seemed to have gained some enlightenment.
"One step is falsehood while the other is reality … Falsehood and reality are decided by a single thought."
"Right here, Void Fragmentation Realm!"
Ning Fan was severely injured and he did not have the time to create a formation disc to block the heavenly tribulation. However, he was not afraid of any heavenly tribulation. At the crucial moment, he could use Nie Li or even the rogue devil. Why would he be afraid of the heavenly tribulation?
He did not concoct any pills that could increase his chances of reaching the Void Fragmentation Realm.
However, he had absolute confidence that he could reach the Void Fragmentation Realm. His comprehension of the void could already distinguish between falsehood and reality with a single thought!
Along the way, he saw longevity as nothing, and he saw fame and fortune as nothing.
He regarded his obsession and the love in his heart as reality.
This was Ning Fan's true self!
To distinguish between falsehood and reality was to find his own Dao!
Ning Fan knew that his Dao was to guard the obsession in his heart. That was all.
The Great Dao of the Heavens was dispensable. It could exist or perish.
The Immortal Emperor Throne was not what he wanted. It was like throwing away an old shoe.
"The path that I have walked is my Dao. The person in my heart is my reality! "
"I want to reach the Void Fragmentation Realm!"
Ning Fan stood in mid-air. His aura force was like a violent gale that spread across the void and rose steadily.
The magic power in his body seemed to have turned into an invisible hand, tearing the bottleneck of the Void Fragmentation Realm bit by bit.
This process constantly affected his injuries. The pain made Ning Fan's mind clearer.
No joy or sorrow. His mind was as still as water. This was the most suitable state of mind for breaking through to the next cultivation level.
* Rumble *
The void in his surroundings suddenly gave off a loud cracking sound. Countless golden cracks appeared.
At this moment, Ning Fan's aura force naturally broke through the bottleneck.
His cultivation base was now at the First Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm!
After his cultivation base improved, his magic power had increased by a whole two thousand yuan.
However, Ning Fan did not show any hint of joy. To him now, it was not difficult to reach the Void Fragmentation Realm. It was reasonable for him to improve his magic power.
His eyes stared at the golden crack. A strong sense of danger was spreading from that place.
It was a very familiar qi … It was the qi of the Heavenly Dao of the lower world.
"Is she the one who sent the tribulation to me …?" Ning Fan's eyes gradually turned solemn. If the heavenly tribulation this time was far beyond his cultivation base, he would naturally borrow the power of Nie Li and the rogue devil.
Immediately, however, Ning Fan's eyes relaxed.
The sense of danger from the crack was similar to the previous heavenly tribulation when he broke through to the Absolute Void Stage.
It seemed like the Heavenly Dao did not increase the grade of the heavenly tribulation this time.
* Rumble *
Billions of golden lightning bolts suddenly shot out from the countless golden cracks in the void.
A ring shadow that was half black and half white suddenly appeared in the void.
Amidst the ring shadows, a displeased female voice rang out.
"Tsk. Why is it sending the tribulation to you again … A normal Sovereign Lightning Tribulation definitely won't be able to kill you. Humph!"
After saying that, the woman did not speak a second time.
The golden lightning bolts that filled the sky turned into golden dragons. They hovered in the sky while letting out deafening roars.
"A normal Sovereign Lightning Tribulation, huh …?" Ning Fan calmed himself down.
A cultivator would need to go through three tribulations to break through to the Void Fragmentation Realm.
During the Sovereign Lightning Tribulation, cultivators who had the luck could condense sovereign qi.
The Yin Wind Tribulation was a tribulation that they had to go through.
As for the third tribulation, it varied from person to person. Most of them had the luck which was a reward from the Heavenly Dao.
Ning Fan did not have a good relationship with the Heavenly Dao. Thus, he did not expect the Heavenly Dao to reward him with anything.
As long as the difficulty of the heavenly tribulation did not increase, it was already a good thing.
In that case, he could also go through the heavenly tribulation without borrowing the power of Nie Li.
* Rumble *
A thunderclap resounded. Billions of dragon-shaped golden lightning bolts struck at Ning Fan at the same time …
