Even though Ning Fan's injuries were severe, his aura made everyone in the Thousand Years Sect feel fear from the bottom of their hearts.
The few elders of the Thousand Years Sect had long regarded Ning Fan as the 'Old Ancestor's Spirit Manifestation'. Seeing that the Old Ancestor had given his order, how would they dare to disobey?
The few of them immediately ordered to prepare a stone chamber for Ning Fan to enter seclusion. No one was allowed to disturb him.
Outside the stone keep, countless spiritual wine and spiritual fire were offered. Incense was burned and prayers were offered, thanking the Elder Ancestor for appearing and saving the Thousand-Year Sect from its predicament.
At this moment, Ning Fan was busy recuperating. Naturally, he could not be bothered with the matters of the Qianqiu Sect.
Even an ordinary Life Immortal wouldn't dare to cross the Realm Breaker Ocean by force.
By relying on the Star Technique to protect his body, Ning Fan managed to do it. However, the injuries he suffered were too severe.
According to his estimation, even if he used the Star Technique to heal himself, he would need at least a few hundred years to fully recover.
It was obvious how serious the injury was!
If he has the healing speed of the Profound Yin World that was one hundred times faster than normal, his injuries would only take a few years at most to fully recover.
As soon as he entered the stone chamber, Ning Fan immediately went into the Profound Yin World and recuperated in there for three years.
Three years had passed and Ning Fan's injuries had mostly healed. His cultivation base had also recovered to the Late Nascent Soul Realm.
If he went into seclusion for another three years, he would be able to completely recover his cultivation.
When the first three years of seclusion ended and Ning Fan returned to the stone chamber, he heard some sighs coming from outside the chamber.
After listening to the discussion of the cultivators outside the stone fortress, Ning Fan roughly understood some things about the Thousand-Year Sect.
The Thousand-Year Sect's Fiendish Cultivators had originally thought that the Patriarch would appear and help the Thousand-Year Sect escape this calamity.
Who would have thought that as soon as the old ancestor manifested, he would run to the stone chamber to enter seclusion. This seclusion lasted for three years.
This made the elders of the Thousand-Year Sect suffer.
The Thousand-Year Sect was an inconspicuous little demonic sect on the Chaos Devil Planet. It was under the control of the Hundred Ghost Sect, a mid-grade cultivation country.
It was said that the Chaos Demon Star's Star Lord had fought with other Star Lords and was severely injured, requiring countless cauldrons to heal him.
Therefore, the entire cultivation planet and the seven thousand cultivation countries were searching for cauldrons above the Harmonious Spirit realm for the Star Lord to heal his injuries.
Those female devil sects only needed to hand over some Harmonious Spirit disciples and the task would be completed.
However, the Thousand-Year Sect was not so lucky. There was not a single Harmonious Spirit Evil Woman in the entire sect!
Since the sect couldn't provide human cauldrons, they could only go outside to catch them. Unfortunately, the entire Chaos Devil Star was busy catching human cauldrons. Any Harmonious Spirit female cultivator who was walking on the streets could be caught by someone.
The Thousand-Year Sect had been capturing them for several months, but they only managed to capture seven or eight Harmonious Spirit female cultivators. Moreover, all of these female cultivators had already lost their primordial yin …
The higher-ups wanted the Qianqiu Sect to hand over 50 perfect cauldrons. Sadly, the Qianqiu Sect could not hand them over at all.
If they couldn't hand it over, they could only buy cauldrons. Unfortunately, the entire cultivation planet was buying cauldrons. The price of a Spirit Harmonizing Cauldron was more expensive than a Gold Core Dao Fruit. The Thousand-Year Sect couldn't afford a few Spirit Harmonizing Cauldrons at all …
The higher-ups repeatedly extended the time limit, but the Thousand-Year Sect still could not hand it over.
Ning Fan had been in seclusion for three years and his superiors had already urged him seven to eight times.
This time, the higher-ups came again and said that if the Qianqiu Sect still couldn't hand over the cauldron, they would annihilate the entire sect …
"Patriarch, oh, Patriarch, please save our Thousand-Year Sect!"
More than ten Vein Opening Realm devil cultivators were crying and begging outside the stone chamber. Inside the chamber, however, Ning Fan's face was cold and indifferent. He was not moved at all.
He was neither a relative nor a friend of the Thousand-Year Sect. Why would he help them?
Now that he had just ascended to the Eastern Heaven, he had yet to figure out where he was and his injuries had yet to fully recover. Thus, Ning Fan did not want to get himself into unnecessary trouble.
No matter how these people cried and screamed, Ning Fan just treated them with indifference and remained unmoved.
Don't think that the Thousand-Year Sect was pitiful. From their way of doing things, one could tell that this was a devil sect that committed all sorts of crimes.
If they were to be annihilated, then so be it. It had nothing to do with Ning Fan.
"I can only enter the Profound Yin World again after three more days. This time, I can stay for three years …"
"Since the completion of the second Yin Spirit, my Minor Five Elemental Physique has already broken through to the Major Five Elemental Physique. However, the five elements need to be perfected once again … After breaking through to the Major Five Elemental Physique, my physical body took the opportunity to break through to the Second Heavenly Layer of the Revered Devil Realm …"
"Besides, after the completion of the second Yin Spirit, I have also obtained a brand new Yin Yang Secret Technique … The Seed of Incense Flame. As long as I plant the Seed of Incense Flame in the human cauldrons that I subdue, even if the human cauldrons don't kowtow to my statue and offer incense to me, I can still slowly collect the power of incense … This Seed of Incense Flame is harmless to them but it is beneficial to me. These few days, I can enter the Cauldron World and plant the Seed of Incense Flame in my one hundred thousand human cauldrons … "
Ning Fan's body swayed and he entered the Cauldron World.
One day later, he finished planting the seeds and continued his seclusion in the stone chamber.
In the outside world, the Thousand-Year Sect was facing a calamity of life and death.
A few elders of the Thousand-Year Sect were kneeling in the main hall. Seven Nascent Soul Realm old monsters were sitting on the seats of honor!
These seven Nascent Soul Realm experts were devil cultivators from a mid-grade cultivation country. The one with the highest cultivation base among them was a Half-Step Divine Transformation Realm cultivator!
It was a man with a feminine appearance. He was wearing a bright red robe. He was holding a teacup and took a sip from it. Then, he said to the elders of the Thousand-Year Sect in a strange tone.
"It has been three years and you still haven't gathered fifty Melting Spirit Cauldrons. Hehe. How dare you …" This person's voice was extremely soft. It was neither a man nor a woman.
How could the elders of the Thousand-Year Sect have the guts to laugh at this old monster?
This human demon old monster was the sect master of the Hundred Ghosts Sect. Moreover, he was also the disciple of a Void Glimpse Stage old monster!
Even some Divine Transformation Realm old monsters from high-grade cultivation countries would have to be polite when they meet the sect master of the Hundred Ghosts Sect.
"Please calm down, my lord. It's not that we don't want to do our best. It's just that it's really difficult to find Melting Spirit Cauldrons at this critical moment …" A Late Gold Core Realm elder explained.
"I don't like those meaningless explanations. I only look at the results. In the past three years, I've sent people to ask for human cauldrons eight times. You refused eight times. Today is the ninth time and also the last time. I've come personally. If you still don't hand over the cauldrons, I don't mind annihilating your Thousand-Year Sect. "
The cold words of the sect master of the Hundred Ghosts Sect made all the cultivators of the Thousand-Year Sect break out in cold sweat.
The few elders exchanged glances with each other in despair. All of them were well aware that they absolutely could not hand over the cauldrons.
However, they were not willing to bow down and die just like that. Their old ancestor had appeared and was now in seclusion in the Thousand-Year Mountain!
The Late Gold Core Realm old monster Qian Qiu gritted his teeth and mustered his courage to say. "My old ancestor is currently in seclusion in the Thousand-Year Mountain. He will never allow anyone to annihilate the Thousand-Year Sect!"
"What?! Old Ancestor Qian Qiu! "
Upon hearing this name, even an arrogant person like the sect master of the Hundred Ghosts Sect was shocked.
The Thousand-Year Sect was a devil sect that was established four thousand years ago. The first sect master was Old Ancestor Qian Qiu.
Old Ancestor Qian Qiu was a ruthless person. Although he was at the Late Divine Transformation Realm, no devil cultivator below the Void Refinement Realm on the entire Chaotic Devil Star was a match for him!
It was said that the star lord of another devil star took a fancy to this person and wanted to take him as his disciple. However, he was rejected.
Even the sect master of the Hundred Ghosts Sect had heard of such a powerful person.
Therefore, when he first heard that Old Ancestor Qian Qiu was in the sect, his first reaction was fear.
However, on second thought, didn't Old Ancestor Qian Qiu die in a great battle four thousand years ago?
If Old Ancestor Qian Qiu was still alive, would he tolerate his sect being bullied by others?
"I'm not in the mood to joke with you. According to what I know, Old Ancestor Qian Qiu died four thousand years ago!" The sect master of the Hundred Ghosts Sect snorted coldly. The Late Gold Core Realm elder immediately felt a sharp pain in his chest and coughed out a mouthful of blood. However, his expression was still arrogant.
"Although the old ancestor has died, we have been worshipping the devil statue every day and have already summoned the old ancestor's spiritual body back. The old ancestor had already manifested three years ago and is now in seclusion in the back mountain! I, Old Ancestor Qian Qiu, will never allow you to annihilate the Thousand-Year Sect! "
"Haha, haha!"
The sect master of the Hundred Ghosts Sect suddenly burst into laughter.
What did he hear just now? There was actually such a ridiculous thing in this world!
This bunch of idiots from the Thousand-Year Sect actually managed to make the old ancestor manifest after worshipping the devil statue. This was too ridiculous!
Manifest? He, Old Ancestor Qian Qiu, was not an Immortal Emperor. How could he make use of the golden temple to manifest?
Only a few Immortal Emperors knew a thing or two about the great divine power of manifesting and descending upon the world.
Judging from the confident tone of the Thousand-Year Sect members, it seemed like there was really someone impersonating Old Ancestor Qian Qiu and was in seclusion at the Thousand-Year Mountain.
However, there was no need to ask to know that the person could only be an impersonator.
Old Ancestor Qian Qiu was already dead. This was an indisputable fact. Manifesting and whatnot were all nonsense.
As for the impersonator …
He had hidden at the Thousand-Year Mountain for three years and did not dare to stand up for the Thousand-Year Sect. He was most likely a liar who had not even formed his Nascent Soul.
"Interesting, interesting. You, lead the way! I'll go to the stone gate of the Thousand-Year Mountain right now and meet your 'old ancestor'! I'm going to annihilate the Thousand-Year Sect anyway, so let's start with your 'old ancestor'! "
The sect master of the Hundred Ghosts Sect sneered and led the other six Nascent Soul Realm cultivators to the stone gate at the back of the mountain under the lead of a few elders.
After being ridiculed by the sect master of the Hundred Ghosts Sect, the elders of the Thousand Years Sect lost their confidence.
The reason why they were certain that Ning Fan was the manifestation of their old ancestor was because the incident that day was too shocking.
A ray of devil light descended from the sky and turned into Ning Fan who was covered in devil qi … All of this was too coincidental!
At that moment, Ning Fan's aura was unparalleled and it was not any weaker than the legendary Old Ancestor Qian Qiu.
That was why they firmly believed that the senior from the Devil Dao who descended from the sky was the manifestation of their old ancestor.
Now that the sect master of the Hundred Ghosts Sect said it, they began to doubt whether their old ancestor was real or not.
If he was real, why did he not pay any attention to the Thousand-Year Sect after entering the stone gate for three years?
Legend had it that Old Ancestor Qian Qiu was a devil lord who killed without batting an eyelid. He was never bullied by anyone. He was the only one who bullied others …
* Hiss *
The few old men sucked in a cold breath at the same time.
It can't be!
Could it be that the old ancestor in the stone gate was really a fake?!
At this moment, the few elders were not the only ones who had doubts.
The Harmonious Spirit Realm and Vein Opening Realm disciples also had doubts.
Today, the sect master of the Hundred Ghosts Sect had threatened to annihilate the Thousand-Year Sect but the old ancestor still didn't come out to protect the sect … Could it be that he was not the real old ancestor?
Soon, they arrived at the back of the mountain.
The sect master of the Hundred Ghosts Sect and the other six Nascent Soul Realm cultivators stood proudly outside the stone gate, staring at it coldly.
Especially the sect master of the Hundred Ghosts Sect. His arrogant eyes were filled with mockery.
He wanted to kill their old ancestor in front of the people of the Thousand-Year Sect and laugh at their foolishness. Then, he would slaughter the entire sect!
"You have been hiding in the stone gate for three years. Are you still not going to show yourself? Quickly come out and accept your death! "
The sect master of the Hundred Ghosts Sect shouted coldly. However, no sound came from the stone gate.
Each of the disciples of the Thousand-Year Sect immediately showed an embarrassed and resentful expression.
The sect master's words were a blatant provocation. If the person in the stone gate was really their old ancestor, he would have come out and killed all the intruders regardless of their background.
Unfortunately, there was no movement inside the stone gate.
It's not the old ancestor. It really isn't …
Looking at the embarrassed expressions of the disciples of the Thousand-Year Sect, the sect master of the Hundred Ghosts Sect laughed mockingly and continued speaking to the stone gate.
"It seems like you are not the real Thousand-Year Sect Master. I'll give you three breaths to get out of the stone gate. Don't force me to break the stone gate! "
"One breath!"
"Two breaths!"
"Three breaths!"
With every breath that the sect master of the Hundred Ghosts Sect took, the despair in the hearts of the people of the Thousand-Year Sect grew.
After three breaths, the sect master of the Hundred Ghosts Sect made a grabbing motion with his five fingers. A black ball of light appeared in his palm.
With a light toss, the ball of light immediately hit the stone gate of the Thousand-Year Mountain at an astonishing speed!
With a loud boom, the entire Thousand-Year Mountain collapsed and the stone gate shattered!
The disciples of the Thousand-Year Sect immediately turned pale.
Was this the power of the sect master of the Hundred Ghosts Sect? This power was not much weaker than a Soul Formation old monster!
The sect master of the Hundred Ghosts Sect closed his eyes and said indifferently, "You're the one who didn't come out of seclusion. Don't blame me for being ruthless. Now that you've been destroyed along with this mountain, you won't have the chance to come out of seclusion anymore."
In his opinion, he had destroyed the Thousand-Year Mountain with a single strike. The old ancestor of the Xi Bei Sect who had not even formed his Nascent Soul would definitely die in this round of attack.
Next, it's time to annihilate the Thousand-Year Sect …
Just as he was thinking about this, his eyes suddenly widened and he looked at the ruins of the Thousand-Year Mountain in disbelief!
The other six Nascent Soul Realm cultivators also wore shocked expressions.
Amidst the smoke and dust, a white-robed young man walked out from the ruins with a cold expression.
The cultivation base that he revealed was at the Late Nascent Soul Realm.
However, there was an aura force on his body that made the Nascent Soul Realm of the sect master of the Hundred Ghosts Sect tremble uncontrollably!
"Old ancestor! It's the old ancestor! The old ancestor is not dead! He must be the real old ancestor! "The disciples of the Thousand-Year Sect immediately shouted.
All of their shouts entered Ning Fan's ears but it did not cause any ripples in his heart.
He stared coldly at the sect master of the Hundred Ghosts Sect. He really did not care whether this person could annihilate the Thousand-Year Sect or not.
However, this person actually dared to attack his place of seclusion. He was really courting death!
"Calm down! This person must be carrying some kind of secret treasure that can increase his aura force. That's why he has such a terrifying aura force. His cultivation base is only at the Late Nascent Soul Realm. It's not worth mentioning at all … "
The sect master tried his best to calm his mind. However, he did not have the right to do so in front of Ning Fan.
Just as his voice fell, he suddenly saw Ning Fan's eyes flashing with cold light.
"My current cultivation base is indeed not worth mentioning. However, killing all of you is not as difficult as pinching an ant to death."
Ning Fan raised his hand and made a suction force. A vast suction force immediately drew the sect master of the Hundred Ghosts Sect to him.
Facing that suction force, he who was a dignified Half-Step Divine Transformation Realm cultivator could not resist it at all!
Ning Fan grabbed his neck and lifted him up high. His eyes were still cold.
Meeting Ning Fan's merciless eyes, the sect master felt a chill from the bottom of his heart. He wanted to break free from Ning Fan's evil grasp but he could not do so at all. His heart was filled with fear!
"You … You're not at the Nascent Soul Realm! You're definitely not a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator! It's impossible for a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator to take me down so easily! "
"Did I say that I'm a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator? Die! "
Ning Fan's eyes turned cold. He clenched his fist and broke the sect master's neck. His hand was full of blood.
The sect master's nascent soul tried to escape from his corpse but was caught by Ning Fan's palm again.
"Y-You can't kill me! My master is one of the seventeen devil guards under the Star Lord. You can't … "
Ning Fan was not interested in this person's background at all. Without saying anything, he directly searched his soul and memories.
In just a moment, he obtained a large amount of information from the sect master's memory.
Then, he swallowed his nascent soul mercilessly.
When the other six Nascent Soul Realm cultivators saw how terrifying Ning Fan's strength was, killing a Half-Step Divine Transformation Realm cultivator was as easy as pinching an ant, they fled in terror.
Sword light flashed in Ning Fan's eyes. His black sword sense swept across the sky and reaped the lives of the six cultivators with ease.
Don't you think it's too late to leave?!
The entire Thousand Years Sect fell into dead silence!
Ning Fan's strength made them feel awe and fear!
"Old Ancestor is mighty!" With a loud bang, all the cultivators of the Thousand Years Sect knelt down and kowtowed to Ning Fan.
Ning Fan did not pay attention to them. Whether they live or die had nothing to do with him.
"I want to continue my seclusion here! All of you, retreat! "
As he raised his hand, the rubble of the Thousand Years Mountain that had collapsed suddenly turned into a mountain again.
Without saying anything, Ning Fan flew into the stone chamber.
A few days later, he entered the Profound Yin World again to heal his injuries.
...
In the Chaotic Devil Country, an old man with Void Glimpse Stage cultivation base looked at the life token in his hand that had been broken into two halves. He was enraged!
"Who can tell me?! Why did my disciple die in a mere low-grade cultivation country?! "
"Investigate!" (To be continued.)
