As Ning Fan got closer to him, the astonishment in Zhou Nan's eyes grew stronger.
Actually, Zhou Nan had also thought that Miss Zixin who had never been interested in men would suddenly pay attention to Ning Fan because Ning Fan was different from ordinary people.
However, he did not expect that Ning Fan had actually cultivated the Dao Light of Life and Death!
Currently, there were only three rogue demon old monsters in the entire Demon World who had cultivated this light.
Ning Fan was the fourth one!
Even though Ning Fan's current cultivation base was just at the Void Inquiry Stage, Zhou Nan did not dare to underestimate him.
A cultivator who could cultivate the ability of a rogue demon would certainly have a bright future!
"Miss Zixin's eyes are really sharp. Everyone only knows that Bai Mu is a puppet cultivator but they didn't know that he is actually so amazing. He actually cultivated the Dao Light of Life and Death …"
Zhou Nan stood up and walked out of the abode step by step, and his expression carried a hint of kindness.
"Little Friend, are you here to take the cave residence from me?"
What Zhou Nan meant was to use the cave residence as a bait to test Ning Fan's ability.
He was holding a treasure which was personally refined by Tan Zixin. Its grade was not high but it could emit a trace of Yin and Yang power. Therefore, it was quite extraordinary.
It was the magic treasure that Tan Zixin gave him. She wanted to use it to test if Ning Fan had a way to break the formation.
Ning Fan's eyes turned solemn. He did not expect that the person who occupied the hundredth floor of the cave residence would be the dignified great elder of the Origin Palace, Zhou Nan.
In Ning Fan's opinion, Zhou Nan had a cultivation base at the Fourth Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm. He was totally capable of fighting for the top twenty caverns and fighting for the Essence Clear Pill.
However, Zhou Nan avoided the fight and chose to occupy the hundredth floor instead. It was really unreasonable.
Perhaps, Zhou Nan was just too embarrassed to fight for the top twenty caverns with his peers since he was the great elder of the Origin Palace.
Excluding Ning Fan and Zhou Nan, there were a total of 47 Void Fragmentation Realm experts who entered the Immortal Ascension Tower this time.
Ning Fan was already mentally prepared that he would definitely have to fight against Void Fragmentation Realm old monsters if he enters the first hundred floors of the cave residence. Thus, he was not too surprised at this moment.
"I just want to enter the cave residence to have a look. I'll leave after that. I won't fight for it. I wonder if the great elder can do me a favor and let me in to have a look."
Facing Zhou Nan, Ning Fan, of course, would not be so arrogant as to attack him.
Zhou Nan was startled, then he smiled and said, "It's just a cave abode, it's naturally very easy. If Little Friend is willing to receive an attack from this old man, not to mention letting Little Friend take a look at this cave abode, even giving this cave abode to Little Friend is not impossible. Of course, you don't have to worry. This attack of mine only has Void Inquiry Stage strength. Even if you can't withstand it, you won't be hurt too badly. Hehe. Little Friend, are you willing to receive a Void Inquiry Stage attack from me? "
Ning Fans eyes flickered, and after a moment, he nodded and said: Good! Great Elder, please make a move! "
If it was just a Void Inquiry Stage attack from Zhou Nan, it would naturally not be difficult at all.
If Zhou Nan harbored ill intentions and had ulterior motives, Ning Fan also had the means to protect himself. Thus, it was impossible for him to be injured by Zhou Nan.
He was already somewhat certain that the reason why Zhou Nan appeared in the hundredth floor of the abode was probably because of him.
However, Ning Fan didn't know what Zhou Nan's intention was. Was it good or bad?
Zhou Nan nodded with a smile and took out a flying sword that was half red and half blue from his sleeve.
This sword was called the Dual Extremities Sword. It was a Mid Grade Mortal Void flying sword.
This sword could activate a trace of the power of Yin and Yang to attack the enemy. Besides, the more the two extremes of Yin and Yang were separated, the stronger the power of this sword would be.
"Little Friend, be careful. This sword has a trace of Yin and Yang power. Even though it is a Mid Grade Mortal Void treasure, you mustn't underestimate it. Activate! "
Zhou Nan suppressed his magic power and raised his hand to summon the sword.
He did not lie. The destructive power of this sword was only at the Void Inquiry Stage.
Ning Fan's eyes flashed and he looked at the flying sword.
As soon as the flying sword was summoned, it immediately split into two. One of them was red while the other was blue. Both of them slashed at Ning Fan from two completely different directions.
With Ning Fan's cultivation base, it was naturally impossible for him to withstand a Void Inquiry Stage attack.
"This flying sword isn't weak. The separation of the two extremes of Yin and Yang can actually increase the power of the sword …"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Fan reached out both of his hands and directly grabbed the two flying swords.
That move of his really frightened Zhou Nan.
One should know that even though the grade of the Dual Extremities Sword was not high, it was extremely sharp. Ordinary cultivators at the Third Level of the Golden Body Realm would not dare to casually catch it with their hands.
If one's physical body was not strong enough, their palms would most likely be cut off by the flying sword if they try to catch the swords with their hands.
"Little Friend, be careful!"
Zhou Nan exclaimed. His original intention was not to hurt Ning Fan. He was just testing him.
Just as he was about to save Ning Fan, his eyes suddenly widened.
The moment Ning Fan stretched out both of his hands, the power of the flying swords that were originally unparalleled immediately decreased greatly.
The reason why their power was greatly reduced was because Ning Fan managed to make the Yin and Yang of the swords return to harmony by just a casual move.
Since the Yin and Yang could no longer be separated into two extremes, the power of the swords naturally decreased.
After their power was greatly reduced, the two flying swords that were like dragons were easily caught by Ning Fan and combined into one flying sword.
"I have already withstood Great Elder's attack. I wonder if I can enter your cave residence to have a look." Ning Fan tossed the flying sword back and looked at Zhou Nan meaningfully.
"Of course you can. Little Friend, please come in and have a look."
Zhou Nan heaved a sigh of relief. He thought that Ning Fan's means were really not weak. He was worried about Ning Fan for nothing.
However, looking at Ning Fan's meaningful expression, could it be that he had already seen through the test this time?
Zhou Nan kept the Dual Extremities Sword and recorded what happened just now into the Shadow Bearing Jade Slip. Then, he fell into deep thought.
I wonder if Miss Zixin will be satisfied with the result of this test.
"Speaking of which, the reason why Bai Mu didn't occupy the cave residence is probably because he wants to enter it to have a look. I suppose he wants to see the stone carvings inside?"
"This young man has cultivated the Dao Light of Life and Death. From today onwards, his name will certainly be known throughout the Demon World. It is said that the Dao Enlightenment of Life and Death of the previous Yuanchi ancestors are hidden inside the stone carvings … Could it be that this young man came for this Dao Enlightenment? "
"Unfortunately, without the Primitive Emperor Jade in hand, he won't be able to see the Dao Enlightenment of the stone carvings …"
Zhou Nan shook his head with a smile and inadvertently scanned the interior of the cave residence with his spirit sense.
What he saw was incredible. He was completely petrified.
He saw that Ning Fan had already embedded the golden ancient jade into the groove of the stone wall. His palm was placed on the stone wall and he was carefully comprehending it.
"The Primitive Emperor Jade! This jade is definitely the Primitive Emperor Jade. It has always been in the hands of the previous Primitive Emperor. Why is it in this young man's hands?! "
"That's right. The previous Primitive Emperor must have lent this jade to this young man! However, I don't know how Bai Mu got to know the previous Primitive Emperor and what is his relationship with him. How did he manage to borrow the Primitive Emperor Jade?! "
"You should know that there were many experts in the palace who wanted to use the jade to comprehend the Dao. However, all of them were rejected by the previous Primitive Emperor. The previous Primitive Emperor said, 'Those who aren't my eyes don't have the qualifications to comprehend life and death'. Could it be that this Bai Mu is the person whom the previous Primitive Emperor likes?! "
Of course, Zhou Nan would not think that Ning Fan stole or snatched this jade.
Who was the previous Primitive Emperor? He was the best in the Demon World. Who could snatch or steal from his hands?
Since Ning Fan came with the jade, he naturally gained the favor of the previous Primitive Emperor.
Zhou Nan's impression of Ning Fan changed once again.
A person who could make the previous Primitive Emperor look at him in a different light was certainly not an ordinary person. Zhou Nan must not neglect him.
After ten breaths, Ning Fan kept the ancient jade. After a moment of silence, he walked out of the cave residence.
There was one more Dao Mark of Life and Death on his primordial spirit.
As soon as he saw Ning Fan walking out, Zhou Nan took half a step forward, cupped his fists and said apologetically.
"There's one thing that I need to apologize to Fellow Daoist … Previously, I was ordered by my mistress to test you with the Dual Extremities Sword. I hope Fellow Daoist can forgive me for offending you. However, Fellow Daoist can be at ease. My mistress has always been kind and generous. She definitely won't have any evil intentions towards you. "
Zhou Nan guessed that Ning Fan had most likely seen through the test.
In order to avoid any misunderstandings, it was better for him to explain himself.
"Since Great Elder has said so, I naturally won't take this matter to heart. I just hope that such a test won't happen again."
Ning Fan had seen through Zhou Nan's test. He also knew that the person who refined the Dual Extremities Sword was Tan Zixin.
He had met Tan Zixin once before and he had peeked into her mind. She was not a scheming and vicious person. This test probably didn't have any evil intentions.
Moreover, for the sake of the previous Primitive Emperor, he certainly wouldn't take this matter to heart.
However, it was better to avoid such tests. No one liked to be tested or schemed against by others.
"I still need to go to the lower level of the cave residence. I'll take my leave first!"
Ning Fan cupped his fists at Zhou Nan. Then, he turned into a ray of light and flew towards the lower level of the cave residence.
"Oh? Does he really not want this cave residence? "Zhou Nan was stunned.
From Zhou Nan's point of view, even though Ning Fan had cultivated the Dao Light of Life and Death, his cultivation base was still too low after all. At most, he could only use the Dao Light of Life and Death to sweep across the Void Pierce Stage experts.
With such strength, it wouldn't be difficult for him to snatch a cave residence in the four hundredth floor and above.
However, in the first one hundred floors, he could forget about snatching any cave residence.
Currently, the first one hundred floors were all occupied by Void Fragmentation Realm and Grand Void Stage experts. Without a cultivation base at the Grand Void Stage, it was impossible for them to compete for supremacy in this place.
"Could it be that this young man still has some trump cards? Is he confident that he can defeat a Grand Void Stage expert?"
As Zhou Nan thought about it, his curiosity was piqued. In a flash, he flew towards the ninety-ninth floor and quietly followed behind Ning Fan.
In the ninety-ninth floor of the Immortal Ascension Tower.
The person guarding this cave residence was an old man in black robes who was at the Grand Void Stage. He was from the Eastern Demon Sea and he was one of the twelve guardians of the Black Emperor of the Fang Wolf Palace.
This person was sitting cross-legged inside the cave residence. His eyes were ferocious and his right fingernails were stained with blood.
Previously, there were a total of four Grand Void Stage experts and seven Grand Void Stage experts who wanted to snatch this cave residence from him. However, all of them were defeated by him using the Broken Phase Art.
The Broken Phase Art was one of the best escape techniques of the Fang Wolf Palace. Coupled with his physical body which was close to the Nirvana Realm, he rarely had any opponents below the Void Fragmentation Realm!
The black-robed old man licked the blood between his fingers with a gloomy smile.
If it wasn't because of the Old Primitive Emperor's order not to kill innocent people in the Immortal Ascension Tower, he would have already killed a few people who tried to snatch his cave residence.
"Oh? Is there still someone else who wants to steal my cave residence? Hehe. Void Inquiry Stage cultivator. How reckless! "
The black-robed old man's body suddenly turned into a broken phase and shattered one after another.
At the next moment, his figure strangely appeared outside the cave residence.
The so-called Broken Phase Art was not about leaving an afterimage when one moved quickly. Instead, it was about separating one's physical body, allowing it to travel across space and appear in another place.
This technique was used for sneak attacks. Naturally, it was impossible to guard against it. It was difficult for the person being attacked to determine where the user of the technique would appear.
"Are you trying to snatch my cave residence?!" The black-robed old man looked at Ning Fan who was approaching him step by step and laughed loudly.
Then, he unleashed his unrivalled Origin Returning Realm cultivation base and pressed it down on Ning Fan.
His aura force covered the sky and earth, stirring up a strong gust of wind. All of a sudden, smoke and dust rose in all directions.
Ning Fan walked among the smoke and dust. The smoke and dust immediately split into two and made way for him.
"I do want to enter the cave residence to have a look."
His tone was indifferent. Then, his battle intent gradually rose to the sky.
When he reached the 99th floor of the cave residence, it was already impossible for him to conceal his cultivation base anymore.
If he only uses his Void Inquiry Stage cultivation base, it would be impossible for him to defeat cultivators at the First, Second or Third Destruction Realm!
Even if he reveals his Void Fragmentation Realm qi, he would not have much chance of winning against cultivators at the Fourth or Fifth Destruction Realm.
As such, the only thing he could do was to fight them with all his might!
No matter what, he wanted to gain the Dao Insights of the first one hundred floors of the cave residence and make the number of Dao Marks of Life and Death on his primordial spirit exceed five hundred!
"Hmm? You seem to have some ability to resist my aura force. However, hehe. You are just a Void Inquiry Stage ant after all. In my eyes, you are just too weak. I don't need half a breath to defeat you! "
As soon as the black-robed old man finished speaking, he smirked and took a step forward. Suddenly, his body turned into pieces and disappeared.
There was not a trace of qi nor a trace of his body. His body just vanished into thin air just like that.
He did not dare to take Ning Fan's life because of the old Yuan Emperor's order. However, he intended to severely injure Ning Fan with a single blow.
He was a wolf. A wolf. His nature was cruel!
Great Elder Zhou Nan who had followed them secretly saw the black-robed old man using the Broken Phase Art of the Wolf Fang Palace. His eyes immediately turned cold.
"Not good! This Broken Phase Art is extremely powerful. Given his Primordial Returning Realm cultivation base, there are few people below the Void Fragmentation Realm who can defend against his sneak attack! Bai Mu will most likely be severely injured by his attack! Bai Mu is valued by the old Yuan Emperor and Miss Zi Xin. No matter what, I must save him! "
Just as Zhou Nan was about to help Ning Fan, his hand suddenly stiffened in mid-air. His eyes were filled with astonishment.
At this moment, Ning Fan's body suddenly gave off an extremely powerful aura force. His cultivation base had obviously reached the First Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm!
At this moment, Ning Fan's eyes were as cold as water. All of a sudden, he reached out his right hand and made a grabbing motion in the air.
On the right side where there was no one, the black-robed old man's miserable figure was pulled out by Ning Fan.
Ning Fan pressed the back of the black-robed old man's head with his index and middle fingers while his other three fingers gripped the old man's neck tightly, making him unable to struggle at all.
Then, his body suddenly leaned forward and forcefully pressed the old man's head to the ground in front of him, smashing it!
"You … You're actually a Void Fragmentation Realm old monster! I was wrong. I shouldn't have harbored evil intentions towards Senior. Please forgive me, Senior! " The black-robed old man's body trembled. In Ning Fan's hands, he was like a little chick without any strength to struggle at all.
He begged in panic. However, it was already too late.
With a loud bang, the ground within the 99th floor of the heavenly dwelling was completely shattered!
The entire heavenly dwelling was already on the verge of collapsing!
Ning Fan loosened his grip and stood up. He stepped on the ruins on the ground and walked into the cave dwelling in front of him. He no longer looked at the black-robed old man.
At this moment, the black-robed old man's skull was completely shattered. His face was deformed and he was coughing out blood as he fainted on the ground.
His head was deeply pressed into the ground by Ning Fan like an ostrich.
His Sea of Consciousness was completely shattered. It was unknown whether he could reform his Sea of Consciousness and cultivate his spirit sense again!
If it wasn't for the fact that he was extremely heavy-handed, Ning Fan wouldn't have destroyed his Sea of Consciousness.
The destruction of a cultivator's Sea of Consciousness was like gouging out a mortal's eyes.
This person only had himself to blame for everything.
"Is this Bai Mu's true strength?! This young man really hid his strength well! With his strength, I'm afraid even an ordinary First Destruction Realm cultivator wouldn't be a match for him! "
"There are a total of 29 cultivators at the First Destruction Realm and above this time. In other words, this young man can at least get to the 30th floor of the cave dwelling!"
"Bai Mu of the Light Feather Clan. Everyone has underestimated this young man. Void Fragmentation Realm cultivation base, Nirvana Realm physical body, Dao Light of Life and Death … After this grand competition, this young man's name will certainly resound in the Demon World! If we can recruit this young man and nurture him carefully, he will certainly become a rogue demon in tens of thousands of years! The foresight of the Old Yuan Emperor and the young lady is really sharp … "
After tens of breaths, Ning Fan walked out of the cave dwelling. He looked at Zhou Nan's direction and flew towards the 98th floor without saying a word.
Zhou Nan sighed. In a flash, he continued to follow Ning Fan.
He wanted to see with his own eyes whether Ning Fan could get the first thirty floors of the cave dwelling. (To be continued.)
