The reason why he came to this bamboo forest was to go into seclusion to refine the Sense Bead and break through to the late Gold Core realm!
This quiet bamboo forest was suitable for setting up a Nascent realm grand formation – Winding Path to Seclusion!
Last time, Ning Fan used hundreds of thousands of immortal jades to set up the Void realm grand formation, Mountain River Reverse. Although the formation was successful, its power was far from being able to kill a Void Fragmentation expert. The reason was that although the formation eye was set up correctly and the formation diagram was complete, the immortal jades and immortal ores used to power the formation were too little.
Using hundreds of thousands of immortal jades to set up a Nascent realm grand formation was just right. That was why Ning Fan didn't plan to set up a Void realm grand formation in the Third Region. He only spent 200 thousand immortal jades to set up a Nascent realm grand formation.
It might not be as profound as a Void realm grand formation, but because it was a complete formation, its power could even kill a late Gold Core expert!
Bing Ling and Yue Ling hadn't fully recovered from their injuries and their combat strength wasn't high. It was better for them not to show themselves in such a dangerous place. As for the small sable, it used its medicinal power to break the seal and restore its peak Gold Core realm cultivation after wasting countless thousand years of spiritual herbs.
He looked at Ning Honghong and Mu Weiliang with a hint of pleading and teasing.
"I'll have to trouble you two fairies to look after my life and death."
"Bah! You still won't tell me your real name at this juncture? Since you're a living person, you naturally can't be the ghost Zhou Ming." Ning Honghong lifted her chin.
"Oh, sorry. I'm a little too immersed in my role. My name is Ning Fan."
Ning Fan winked at Mu Weiliang. Mu Weiliang couldn't help but feel shy. Then, he smiled and began to set up the formation in the bamboo forest.
Ning Honghong's expression turned strange when she heard Ning Fan's name.
"Your surname is Ning?"
She finally understood why Ning Fan was surprised when he heard that her surname was Ning.
However, compared to the shock that followed, this little bit of shock was nothing.
"You, you, you know how to set up a Nascent realm formation!"
When Ning Fan selected 216 formation eyes in the bamboo forest, he moved his spirit sense and the formation diagram appeared on the ground. Ning Honghong's face was filled with surprise while Mu Weiliang's mouth was slightly open.
This Ning Fan really knows too many things! Not only did he know how to refine Third Revolution Pills, what was even more heaven-defying was that he knew how to set up a Nascent Soul Grand Array!
His bone age was no more than 17 years old, but his cultivation base was already at the late Harmonious Spirit realm. His spirit sense had even reached the intermediate Gold Core realm. At the same time, he was also a Third Revolution Dan Master and a Nascent Grade Formation Master!
Ning Honghong gently breathed in. This was the first time she looked at Ning Fans face to face. She vaguely felt that she was wrong to underestimate Ning Fans before.
"I've been dead for a few thousand years. Back then, I was invincible in Wu Country and established the Ning Clan in Haining. I was so glorious that I thought I had seen all the elites in the world. I didn't expect there to be such a monstrous figure like you in this world …"
Ning Honghong praised softly. When her words fell into Ning Fan's ears, he almost made a mistake on the formation diagram and fell down.
"You said that you are the old ancestor of the Ning Family in Hai Ning County of Wu Country?" Ning Fan's expression was extremely strange. Ning Honghong whom he had taken advantage of was actually the soul of his old ancestor?
"So what if I do? What? Do you dare to be dissatisfied?! "Ning Honghong stretched out her long nails and playfully threatened Ning Fans.
"No, I'm not dissatisfied. I'm just a little surprised …"
Ning Fan lightly coughed and put away his strange expression.
So what if Ning Honghong was the old ancestor of the Ning Family? At first glance, this girl was a virgin. She certainly wouldn't have any children and certainly wouldn't be related to him by blood …
"Uh … why am I thinking about this …" He shook his head and continued to arrange the formation.
While arranging the formation, he asked about Mu Weiliang's background. He didn't know what this girl's identity was in the past …
"Sister Weiliang doesn't have any memory of her previous life. When I was patrolling in the Red Clan, I accidentally picked her up …" Ning Honghong explained to Ning Fan.
Mu Weiliang's expression turned gloomy when she said that she didn't have any memory of her previous life.
"Is that so … It doesn't matter. The memory of one's previous life isn't necessarily a happy one. It's fine to forget it."
Ning Fan gently patted Mu Weiliang's beautiful hair to comfort her. Then, he continued to arrange the formation, which made the little girl blush again.
It was a very strange feeling. Although it was the first time the three of them met each other, it felt as if they were very familiar with each other. Ning Fan asked himself that it would be difficult for him to encounter such a strange thing in his life. Entrusting each other's safety to a stranger in a strange place.
Perhaps, they knew each other in their previous life …
Ning Fan was able to detect the 7000 formation eyes of the Mountain and River Reverse Formation. Therefore, the Winding Path Formation only had 216 formation eyes. Naturally, it wasn't a problem for Ning Fan.
Ning Fan placed immortal jades and immortal ores at the positions of the formation eyes. With a sweep of his spirit sense, he connected the formation eyes one by one in just half an incense worth of time. The terrain was connected and the formation was completed!
If other Nascent Realm Formation Masters were to see the speed of setting up the formation, they would surely be shocked.
After the grand formation was completed, Ning Fan found a place with the strongest earth fire. He cut open the earth vein with his sword, drew out the earth fire and began to concoct pills.
Ning Honghong and Mu Weiliang were sitting leisurely, watching Ning Fan's skillful concoction technique with an amazed expression.
'Profound Dark Pill' was a Third Revolution Pill. When consumed together with the Gold Core Sense Bead, it could purify the evil and ghostly power of the Sense Bead.
The five hundred years worth of pills in the Green Clan's vault was more than enough to concoct hundreds of Profound Dark Pills. The only problem was that Ning Fan could only concoct a hundred Third Revolution Pills at the same time. He was afraid that he would need a few more batches before he could concoct enough pills.
Three days had passed. Ning Fan had opened twelve batches of pills. Except for one that was destroyed, the other eleven batches were barely successful. A total of 1100 Profound Dark Pills were concocted.
It couldn't be helped. Even if Ning Fan had the concoction technique of an Immortal Emperor, he couldn't guarantee success every time he concocted a Third Revolution Pill.
The higher the grade of the pill, the lower the success rate.
The pills had been concocted. All that was left was to refine the power of the Sense Bead. Ning Fan sat cross-legged and adjusted his magical power. After half a day, he finally recovered to his peak condition and began to refine the Sense Bead one by one.
The mental power of the Gold Core Sense Bead was too strong. At this moment, Ning Fan was so focused that he couldn't even hear the sound of the wind outside.
There were still seven days left before the end of the sect assessment.
...
The Winding Path Leading Formation was a Nascent Realm grand formation. It could be set up by borrowing the terrain of the bamboo forest. Compared to attacking the enemy, it was more important for protection and concealment.
The twists and turns were hard to find. In the past few days, the experts of Green Clan had searched the bamboo forest several times, but they couldn't find Ning Fan and the others hiding here.
Ning Honghong and Mu Weiliang were praising the grand formation. On the other side, the Great Elder of Green Clan, Qing Lengshan, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
On the fourth day, the experts of Green Clan had searched thousands of miles of the Third Region, but still couldn't find any trace of Ning Fan!
"Trash! A bunch of trash! You can't even find a single person. What's the use of keeping you?! "
Qing Lengshan's late Gold Core aura swept across the entire clan. The experts in the hall felt a chill down their spine. Even the other late Gold Core elders had a change of expression.
"Great Elder, perhaps this person isn't in the Third Region anymore. He's a living person. It's easy for him to enter the Fourth Region or return to the Second Region."
The second elder, Qing Hengxing, a burly man with a rough and cold demeanor, said.
"En, that makes sense." Qing Lengshan's expression changed. Then, his mouth curved into a sneer.
"Has the refinement of the Immortal Execution Order been completed?!"
"Reporting to Great Elder, the refinement has reached the last step. But … are we really going to use this treasure to eliminate a mere Zhou Ming? This Immortal Execution Order is something that our Green Clan uses to deter the other clans."
The Third Elder Qing Wuwei, a middle-aged man with a short beard, said with hesitation.
"Idiot! As long as we kill this man and gain the favor of the Bone Emperor, our Green Clan will be able to advance to the Nascent Soul realm. It'll be a piece of cake for us to break through to the Fourth Region!"
Qing Lengshan harrumphed coldly. He disdained the short-sightedness of the experts in the hall.
In the Land of Nine Yin, the Eighth and Ninth Region no longer existed. The Bone Emperor of the Seventh Region was the king! Who would dare to attack Green Clan if they could please the king?
It was funny that these ghosts didn't have enough vision. No wonder they couldn't become the Great Elder.
"The refinement of the Immortal Execution Order is about to be completed. Can you collect a trace of Zhou Ming's Qi?" Qing Lengshan asked indifferently.
"Reporting to Great Elder, the collection of Qi in the bamboo building of the medical center has been completed."
The Fourth Elder Qing Yun, a handsome young master, reported respectfully.
"Very good. Set up the altar and prepare to kill this man! "
Qing Lengshan flicked his sleeve and led the experts of the clan to an ancient altar.
"All those years ago, I'd once used an Immortal Execution Token to annihilate the Fang Clan's peak Golden Core Realm Grand Elder, causing the Fang Clan to decline. I never imagined that I'd actually use the Immortal Execution Token once more to annihilate a mere Zhou Ming!"
He sneered. He couldn't wait any longer. However, he seemed to have thought of something and ordered.
"In addition, Second Elder, Third Elder, bring some people to the Third Region to search for Zhou Ming. If the Immortal Execution Order is activated, this man will certainly die. There will be four great sword shadows in the place where he will be killed. If this man is still in the Third Region, you can take back the spiritual herbs. Of course, if anyone dares to keep the spiritual herbs for themselves, humph! I still have two Immortal Execution Orders in my hand! "
Qing Lengshan swept his eyes across. No one dared to show any dissatisfaction.
...
In the grand formation of the bamboo forest, Ning Fan continued to refine the power of the Sense Bead. His spirit sense was advancing from Intermediate Gold Core realm to Late Gold Core realm.
In just twenty-three days, he had improved his spirit sense to such an extent. If this news were to spread back to Yue Country, everyone would be shocked.
"Just a little bit more. It seems like there are still a hundred Sense Beads left."
Ning Fan smiled faintly. He had only refined four hundred Sense Beads and he was about to break through to Late Gold Core realm.
Soon, just a little bit more. I just need to break through this bottleneck.
Ning Fan's eyes were like torches. He held his breath and concentrated, preparing to break through the spirit sense realm with all his might.
However, at this moment, a sense of crisis spread throughout his body without any warning. His eyes were filled with anger and he spurted out a mouthful of blood. His spirit sense was scattered and he failed to break through. A force of backlash attacked his Sea of Consciousness, causing him to feel pain as if his spirit sense was being torn apart.
He looked at his chest in shock. There was a bloody hole that appeared out of nowhere, but strangely, there wasn't a single drop of blood.
Just when he was about to break through, an illusory sword shadow came out of nowhere and slashed his chest!
"There are still sword shadows!"
He stood up abruptly and waved his Separation Slayer Palm. He turned around and blocked one of the illusory sword shadows, but the other sword shadow was hard to defend against. It pierced through Ning Fans abdomen, leaving a bloody hole.
* Puff *
Ning Fan's face turned pale. More and more sword shadows came from all directions, making Ning Fan tired of dealing with them.
The two girls were originally guarding Ning Fan. Their beautiful faces turned pale when they saw Ning Fan's spirit sense failed at the critical moment and was slashed by thousands of swords.
They recognized the origin of the sword shadows, which made them even more shocked.
"Immortal Execution Order! What did you do to offend the Great Elder of Green Clan? Why did he use this order to hunt you down? Ning Fan, let us help you! "
The two girls moved, wanting to help Ning Fan block the sword shadows, but the next moment, they were even more shocked.
Dozens of illusory shadows of Green Clan were standing in the air above the sea of bamboo forest, attacking the grand formation with all their might.
"Don't worry about me. You two go and control the grand formation. Don't let them break it. Humph! Immortal Execution Order, Green Clan! Is it Green Clan that plotted against me?! "
Ning Fan's eyes revealed a trace of ruthlessness. He raised his head and saw four illusory sword shadows outside the grand formation in the sky, locking him down from all directions. Countless sword shadows came from the four swords.
He was shocked. These four swords were very famous even in the memory of Ancient Chaos.
Four Immortal Execution Swords!
The four sword shadows seemed to have existed since the ancient times, locking the vast sky. Even though they were just illusory shadows, they still emitted an aura of vicissitudes and destruction. The air was mixed with a faint smell of blood. That smell of blood was formed by the blood of countless Immortals and Gods!
The so-called Immortal Execution Order could actually transform into four illusory shadows of swords, using endless sword Qi to kill the person locked down by the order!
If it was in ancient times, it wouldn't be four illusory shadows of swords that could kill Immortals and Gods, but the real Four Immortal Execution Swords!
Outside the formation, the second elder Qing Hengxing and the third elder Qing Wuwei led dozens of Green Clan experts to surround the sea of bamboo.
They followed the orders of the Great Elder and searched the Third Region. However, they never thought that Zhou Ming would be so daring as to stay in the Third Region after stealing the spiritual herbs.
"Haha! After the Immortal Execution Order kills this man, we will retrieve the spiritual herbs. It will be considered as a great contribution!" Qing Hengxing sneered and attacked the Nascent Realm grand formation with greater effort.
His physical body was extremely strong, like iron bones. Each of his punches and palms could cause cracks to appear on the grand formation, causing the ground to shake violently and raising gusts of violent wind. Although it recovered quickly, the immortal jades in the eye of the formation were being consumed rapidly.
As soon as the immortal jades were used up, the formation would be broken!
Before Qing Hengxing finished his sneer, two beautiful figures were holding the immortal jades given by Ning Fan, replenishing the immortal jades in the eye of the grand formation.
One of them was a lady in red. Her eyes were filled with killing intent as she controlled the grand formation. In an instant, thousands of green lights flew out from the formation and turned into pieces of sharp bamboo leaves. Like dancing leaves, they swept towards the experts of Green Clan.
The Nascent Realm grand formation had the effect of killing!
Seeing that Zhou Ming still had companions controlling the grand formation, the four Gold Core experts were instantly killed by the formation light. The remaining experts also suffered different degrees of injuries.
Even Qing Hengxing, who had a strong physical body, had a bloody wound on his chest. He roared in anger, but when his eyes fell on the peerless beauty of the two ladies, a trace of lustful smile appeared on his face.
The two ladies controlling the grand formation had peerless beauty that he had never seen before in his life!
"Good, good, good! I didn't expect that Zhou Ming still has two beauties to protect him. However, he certainly won't be able to escape from the Immortal Execution. As for you two ladies, the grand formation will finally be broken! Hehe, both of you look pretty good. After breaking the grand formation, I won't let you two go easily. Tonight, I will let you two regret it! "
Qing Hengxing had a late Gold Core cultivation base. He was a rare ghost cultivator who refined his body. His combat strength was astonishing. As long as the grand formation was broken, he alone could easily subdue the two ladies!
As for the two ladies in the formation, their beautiful faces turned pale when they saw that the two elders of Green Clan were involved in the pursuit.
Ning Honghong's attack with the grand formation seemed powerful, but it was a sneak attack. Now that the ghosts were on guard, it wouldn't be easy to hurt them again.
Moreover, the attack just now had consumed one-tenth of the immortal jade of the grand formation. How many more times could such an attack be used?
The eyes of the two ladies fell on Ning Fan. Their faces were filled with heartache and pity.
At this moment, Ning Fan's body was riddled with thousands of bloody holes. His flesh was festering. They were afraid that he wouldn't be able to withstand the sword shadow for long.
"What should we do …"
Mu Weiliang and Ning Honghong looked at each other. They could see a trace of heartache and despair in each other's eyes.
However, at this moment, a trace of anger flashed in the eyes of Ning Fan who had not a single piece of flesh on his body. It turned into the determination to kill the Green Clan!
"Green Clan … I will remember this! After I break the Immortal Execution Sword Shadow, I will go and annihilate Green Clan! "
His words carried the killing intent of an Immortal Emperor. When it fell into the ears of the experts of Green Clan, including Qing Hengxing, they felt a trace of fear.
What level of killing intent was this?! Even the supreme Bone King did not have such a murderous aura!
However, this fear only lasted for a moment before it was suppressed by Qing Hengxing and the others. They weren't newbies who had just made their debut. How could they be scared away by a killing intent?
In the grand formation, Ning Fan's eyes were filled with determination. He took out the third Jade Royal Dan.
The time since the last time he took the dan was too short. This time, he would have to endure endless pain.
But Ning Fan had no choice. The Immortal Execution Sword Qi, even if it was just a phantom, gave him a life-threatening crisis.
Die from the pain or be slashed to death by the sword!
He took the Jade Royal Dan in one gulp. His flesh was destroyed countless times by the sword shadow. The silver light in his bones was getting stronger and stronger.
"I am Ancient Chaos! Immortal Execution Sword Shadow, do you dare to slash me?! "
This time, he used the Immortal Emperor's prestige of the Yin Yang Locket. It made the dignified sword shadow hesitate for a moment.
Ning Fan's eyes turned cold. He did something unbelievable.
He opened his mouth and swallowed the countless sword shadows into his stomach.
"If I don't die, I will refine the Immortal Execution Sword Qi. None of you will be able to escape!"
