"I want to take a look around the cave, and I don't want anyone to disturb me! Those who are not involved, step down! "
The voice wasn't loud, but it contained a shocking killing intent. It was like countless claps of thunder exploding in everyone's ears.
Including Can Feng, everyone's face instantly turned pale.
Can Feng was afraid, extremely afraid.
Ning Fan approached him step by step. His aura force was as majestic as a mountain and he did not dare to resist it.
However, when he saw Ning Fan's appearance, he was immediately stunned. "You … You are Bai Mu? Bai Mu from the Light Wing Clan?! "
All of the Void Glimpse Stage cultivators were stunned. Initially, they were still afraid of Ning Fan. However, after hearing the identity of the person in front of them, all of them suppressed the fear in their hearts and did not leave in a hurry.
Everyone was hoping for luck, especially Can Feng.
He had once seen Ning Fan entering the city with his own eyes and felt his Void Inquiry Stage qi.
"This Bai Mu is clearly a Void Inquiry Stage cultivator. Why is his baleful qi so terrifying? Fake, it must be fake! "
"He is a Void Inquiry Stage expert and so am I. There's no need to be afraid of him!"
Can Feng kept convincing himself in his mind. Finally, he mustered up his courage and raised his hand. A ray of scarlet sword light pierced through Ning Fan's heart.
Ning Fan, however, did not even look at the scarlet sword light. Instead, he continued walking forward.
When the scarlet sword light was about to hit his body, a silver crack suddenly appeared three chi in front of him and a silver vortex appeared out of nowhere.
As the whirlpool retracted, the scarlet sword radiance was sucked into the whirlpool and lost its connection with Can Feng.
"White Wood! How dare you snatch my Intrinsic Flying Sword! "
Can Feng was enraged. Without hesitation, he rushed towards Ning Fan.
Halfway there, a silver vortex suddenly appeared in the air, and he was almost sucked into it.
Can Feng had a premonition that with his cultivation level, he would definitely die if he was sucked into the whirlpool!
All of a sudden, he retreated and stared at Ning Fan in shock. The vortex gradually disappeared.
Ning Fan was the one who removed the whirlpool. If Ning Fan wanted to kill him, he would have already died …
"I've spared you twice, there won't be a third time."
Ning Fan's tone was extremely indifferent. He walked past the crowd and went straight to the cave.
All of Can Feng's hair stood on end. He knew that Ning Fan was not joking. If Ning Fan was willing, he would have already died twice!
Every level of the cave abode was protected by a formation light and guarded by demonic puppets.
The formation light of the abode on the 500th floor was roughly at the Low Grade Mortal Void Realm. Inside the abode, there was also a Void Glimpse Stage demon puppet guarding it.
Ning Fan slowly approached the formation light. He lifted his finger and pointed at it. Without using any ability, the formation light directly collapsed.
He had to rely on his physical body to break through the formation, and there was no need for him to use any divine abilities!
The Void Glimpse Stage spiritual puppets that guarded the abode were extremely violent. They would risk their lives to fight anyone who entered the abode.
Generally speaking, one could only enter the abode by destroying the puppet.
However, with just a glance from Ning Fan, the puppet suddenly revealed a look of fear, not daring to attack Ning Fan at all.
Ning Fan did not kill Can Feng nor did he subdue his spiritual puppet.
He had promised Tan Tianyan that he would not kill anyone, and he would definitely do it.
He didn't take away the Demon Puppet of Palace of Origin. The Old Primitive Emperor had given him an opportunity, and if he were to snatch the puppet away, it would seem like he was biting the hand that fed him.
"This Bai Mu has such a terrifying physical body! One finger could shatter the Mortal Void Formation Light! If he wants to kill me, he only needs to casually point his finger! "
"Moreover, what a strange divine ability he has. Just a look from him actually made a Void Glimpse Stage demon puppet feel fear!"
"I can't afford to offend Bai Mu!"
Can Feng was terrified as he clasped his fists towards the cave dwelling. Not daring to stay any longer, he flew downwards in a flash.
How could he still dare to provoke Ning Fan?
Ning Fan had spared his life twice. If he still doesn't know when to stop for the third time, he will certainly die!
All the Void Glimpse Stage cultivators held their breaths in an instant.
Even the powerful Can Feng had been scared off, so who would dare to stay here and try their luck?
No one dared to stay here any longer, and they didn't say a word before heading to the next level.
Since Ning Fan had taken away this level of the abode, they certainly would not be able to get it back. Thus, they could only go to the next level to try their luck.
Ning Fan ignored Can Feng and the others. He was already a Void Fragmentation Realm expert. There was no need for him to lower himself to the same level as these juniors.
Yao Ming stood guard outside the dwelling respectfully while Ning Fan began to search inside the dwelling.
The stone walls on both sides of the road were embedded with moonstones for illumination.
At the end of the dwelling was a green stone wall that was as smooth and clean as a mirror.
The stone wall was covered with moss. Ning Fan flicked his sleeves and swept it away, revealing the words of the demon race below.
Ning Fan scanned through the words. These words of the demon race were written by an ancestor of the Yuan Chi Clan. It briefly recorded his life.
At the end of the words, there was a groove that was just big enough to fit the ancient golden jade that Tan Tianyan gave him.
Ning Fan took out the ancient jade and pressed it into the stone wall. Then, he reached out his palm and touched the cold demon words. Then, he closed his eyes.
The scenery in front of him changed one after another. It was as if he had entered a dream and became another person.
In this dream, his name was Tan Boyan. He was born in the ancient Demon World.
His innate talent was extraordinary. When he was young, he attained the Vein Opening Realm, Harmonious Spirit Realm, Core Formation Realm, Nascent Soul Realm, Divine Transformation Realm, Void Refinement Realm and Void Fragmentation Realm …
His life was very boring. Other than cultivation, there was nothing else he could do.
Before he died, Tan Boyan's cultivation base was at the Fifth Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm.
After cultivating to this level, he only had one understanding about life and death.
"Fish are born in water and die in water. Grass and trees are born in soil and die in soil. Humans are born in the Dao and die in the Dao."
Living for the Dao and dying for the Dao. This was the life of this old ancestor.
The dream was very long and it included Tan Boyan's entire life. However, to Ning Fan, it only lasted for ten breaths.
Ning Fan opened his eyes and took out the ancient golden jade from the groove. Then, he kept it in his sleeve for the time being.
His eyes were a little blank. "Humans are born in the Dao and die in the Dao … They are born for the Dao and die for the Dao."
After a while, Ning Fan's eyes regained their clarity. With a flash, he left the dwelling and flew towards the 499th floor.
In every floor of the heavenly dwelling, there was a teleportation formation that led to the upper and lower floors.
In just a few moments, Ning Fan passed through the teleportation formation and arrived at the 499th floor.
He spread his spirit sense and immediately flew towards a certain direction.
The dwelling of the 499th floor was built at the bottom of a lake.
Currently, there were two groups of cultivators fighting on the lake for the dwelling.
Both groups were mainly made up of Void Glimpse Stage cultivators. Each of them had a Void Inquiry Stage cultivator as their leader.
One of the groups of cultivators was Can Feng and the others who came down from the 500th floor.
The other group of cultivators had a total of fifteen Void Glimpse Stage cultivators. The Void Inquiry Stage cultivator was also slightly stronger than Can Feng. His surname was Zhu and he was a burly man.
As for the reason, it was naturally because Can Feng had lost his natal magic treasure.
"Can Feng, you are not a match for me. Quickly retreat and this dwelling will belong to me!" The burly man with the surname Zhu sneered.
"Bullshit! If it wasn't because my Fire Spirit Sword was taken away by someone else, I wouldn't be a match for you! Zhu Jun, if you know what's good for you, hurry up and give up the dwelling. Otherwise … "
Just as Can Feng was about to say something ruthless, he suddenly shuddered and saw an extremely familiar ray of travelling light approaching him.
That travelling light dispersed and a white-robed young man walked out of it. It was Ning Fan.
"It's Bai Mu!" Everyone's expression changed.
The expressions of the burly man with the surname Zhu and the other cultivators changed because of contempt.
The expression of Can Feng and the others changed because of fear.
Just now, he had witnessed Ning Fan's powerful means and he took the initiative to give up the dwelling.
What he could not understand was why Ning Fan came to the 499th floor to mess with them when he had already occupied the 500th floor.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, why did you come here …?" Can Feng asked cautiously.
"I want to enter this dwelling to have a look around. I don't want anyone to disturb me! Those who have no business here, retreat! "
Ning Fan repeated what he said on the previous floor.
This time, he did not release any baleful qi when he said those words.
Therefore, the burly man with the surname Zhu and the others did not even have the slightest bit of fear in their hearts. All of them burst into laughter.
"Isn't this Bai Mu who has been hunted by Half-Step Void Refinement Realm cultivators for a year? He actually asked us to retreat. What a joke! Haha! Even though he has a Void Inquiry Stage cultivation base, I'm afraid any of us Void Glimpse Stage experts are enough to defeat him, right? "
"Saying that we are unrelated people? In my opinion, Bai Mu is the most unrelated person here. Weaklings don't have the right to occupy a dwelling!"
The burly man with the surname Zhu and the others were laughing. However, Can Feng and the others could not laugh at all.
Before their laughter subsided, Ning Fan had already waved his sleeve. He did not attack them with a killing blow. Instead, he just casually waved his sleeve.
It was a gentle wave of wind but it seemed to contain a tremendous force. With just a single blow, the burly man with the surname Zhu and the others felt a sharp pain in their chests and were sent flying away by Ning Fan.
"H-How is this possible?!"
The burly man with the surname Zhu and the 17 Void Glimpse Stage experts got up from the ground. The way they looked at Ning Fan was as if they were looking at a ghost.
As for Can Feng and the others, they secretly mocked the burly man with the surname Zhu and the others. They no longer fought for the dwelling on the 499th floor. Instead, they turned around and flew towards the 498th floor.
Why didn't they return to the 500th floor?
They did not know why Ning Fan still wanted to occupy the 499th floor even though he had already occupied the 500th floor. Without Ning Fan's permission, they did not dare to simply seize the dwelling that Ning Fan had occupied before. Thus, they could only continue to go to the lower floors to fight for opportunities.
Ning Fan's gaze swept across the burly man and the others. His eyes narrowed slightly.
"Why are you still here?"
As soon as the burly man and the others heard Ning Fan's words, cold sweat broke out on their foreheads. Without saying a word, they chased after Can Feng and the others and flew towards the 498th floor.
Even a fool could see that Ning Fan's strength far surpassed everyone on the scene. Who would dare to fight against him for the dwelling?
After all, there were 500 dwellings. If they can't get this one, they would just take the next one …
Ning Fan raised his hand to break the restriction. A single gaze from him scared the puppets away. He then walked to the end of the dwelling and took out an ancient golden jade from his sleeve, embedding it into the wall.
Ning Fan pressed his palm on the cold stone wall and closed his eyes. The scenery in front of him changed.
It was the memory of another Old Ancestor Yuanyi.
This person's name was Tan Ziyu. His cultivation base had stopped at the Sixth Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm.
This person's innate talent was poor. When he was young, he was abandoned by his clan and ended up in a mortal country. After that, he was adopted by a powerful aristocratic family in that country.
This person had never cultivated before the age of 30. He dedicated his entire life to that aristocratic family and led an army to battle like a mortal.
Even though his innate talent was poor, he was still a member of the Yuanyi Clan after all. His physical body was far stronger than a mortal's and his strength was astonishing.
However, it was difficult to change the situation. His country was defeated and he was trapped at the riverside. Even so, he would rather die than cross the river and commit suicide.
Coincidentally, an old man from the Yuanyi Clan happened to pass by. He took pity on him and kept his soul back to his clan. Then, he reconstructed his physical body and taught him his demon cultivation method.
From the old man's point of view, even though Tan Ziyu's innate talent was poor, he had a spirit that ordinary people could not compare to. Thus, he might not necessarily be destined for the Great Dao.
Tan Ziyu had cultivated to the Six Shattering Realm with his poor innate talent. Before he passed away, he only had one sentence to say about life and death.
"I'm a hero in life and a hero in death!"
Tens of breaths later, Ning Fan withdrew his palm and kept the ancient golden jade. His eyes were filled with contemplation.
Tan Ziyu's understanding of life and death was obviously different from Tan Boyan's.
Tan Boyan was a typical ascetic cultivator. He was born to cultivate the Dao and he would cultivate the Dao even in death.
However, Tan Ziyu was different. He had his own persistence. Even though his innate talent was poor, his achievements were higher than Tan Boyan's.
To Tan Boyan, there was no difference between life and death. He obtained it from the Dao and returned it to the Dao. He had no sorrow or joy.
To Tan Ziyu, there was no difference between life and death. When he was alive, he was renowned throughout the world. When he died, he would become a hero among ghosts.
"Everyone's understanding of life and death is different. If I can observe the Dao of Life and Death of the five hundred Yuanyi old ancestors, it will be very beneficial to me."
Ning Fan inspected his body and realized that the Life and Death Qi in his body had increased slightly after he finished observing the two stone walls.
It was a process of integrating the life and death of others into his own body.
Ning Fan did not say much. In a flash, he passed through the teleportation formation and entered the 498th floor.
He spread his spirit sense and chose the right direction. Then, he immediately flew towards the abode on this floor.
This abode was built on the crater of a volcano.
Outside the crater of the volcano, there were three groups of cultivators engaged in a chaotic battle.
Two of them were the Void Glimpse Stage teams led by Can Feng and the burly man surnamed Zhu respectively.
The other group of cultivators only had two people. They seemed to be a pair of twin brothers. Both of them had Void Inquiry Stage cultivation bases.
"Give it up. This abode belongs to me!" Can Feng laughed loudly.
"Humph! This abode should belong to me!" The burly man surnamed Zhu sneered.
"Wrong, wrong, wrong. This abode should belong to us, Old Men Feng and Old Men Lei!" The pair of old men laughed sinisterly.
While the three groups of cultivators were engaged in a chaotic battle, a white-robed young man suddenly appeared in the middle of the battle.
"I want to enter this abode to have a look. I don't want anyone to disturb me! Those who have no business here, back off! "
As soon as they heard what he said, Old Men Feng and Lei burst into laughter.
"What an arrogant kid. Why should I back off just because you say so?!"
"Bai Mu! He is Bai Mu, the disgrace of the Light Feather Clan. I didn't expect him to be so arrogant even though he is weak! "
Before the two of them could finish laughing, they were already injured internally by Ning Fan with a wave of his sleeve. Then, they fell heavily to the ground like kites with broken strings.
Crawling up from the ground, Old Men Feng and Lei's faces were filled with shock.
"This person either has an unrivalled cultivation base among the Void Inquiry Stage experts or he is a Void Pierce Stage expert who has concealed his cultivation base. The two of us are definitely no match for him!"
"Let's go!"
Old Men Feng and Lei did not say anything else and ran towards the 497th floor.
As for Can Feng, the burly man surnamed Zhu and the others, they were complaining incessantly in their hearts.
"This Bai Mu is too much. He has already occupied two floors of the abode. Why does he still want to snatch our abode? He's going too far!"
"So what if he's going too far? His strength is obvious. We are not his match at all … Forget it. Let's just give this abode to him!"
"Shameless! How shameless! This Bai Mu is obviously so strong. Why didn't he go to the lower floors to snatch the abode? Instead, he is making things difficult for us."
"Forget it. Let's go to the 497th floor. I hope Bai Mu doesn't come here again!"
"If he comes to the 497th floor to snatch the abode again, I will … I will go to the 496th floor!"
* Chi *
Rays of travelling light whistled across the sky and headed towards the 497th floor.
Ning Fan did not pay attention to them. His eyes flashed and he dived into the lava, entering the volcanic cave.
This cave dwelling gave him an unusual feeling.
The cultivation base of the owner of this cave was not high. He was just at the Fourth Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm.
However, his comprehension of the Dao of Life and Death was much deeper than that of the previous two cave dwellings. It was enough to move people's hearts.
It was because this person's comprehension of the Dao of Life and Death was filled with emotions.
This person did not die for the Dao nor did he die for his reputation. Instead, he passed away in meditation in this cave just to save a woman.
"If it weren't for you, life and death would be meaningless!"
"If I can save you from samsara, why would I regret death?! Why would I be afraid of death?! "
"We are born in different worlds but we die in the same cave!"
