Almost everyone saw the treasure light. However, other than the Nether Sea Immortal King, no one else could see what was inside the treasure light.
The others could not even sense the grade of the treasure. They could only vaguely guess that Ning Fan had obtained some kind of extra reward after lighting up the ten million crystals on the monument.
"The item that this young man obtained is probably a treasure with a high grade. It's at least a Peak Immortal Treasure. It might even be a Low Nirvana Acquired Heavenly Treasure …" Some old monsters guessed.
Ning Fan withdrew his palm and stood quietly in front of the monument. His expression was still as calm as an ancient well, but his heart was filled with turbulent waves!
He walked down the altar and left it for others to use. Soon, all the participants had finished participating in the competition.
Standing below the altar, Ning Fan scanned his storage pouch with his spirit sense. His heart still could not calm down. The treasure light that shot into his storage pouch was actually an extraordinary item!
It was a silver-colored mask with a ferocious appearance like an evil ghost.
The mask contained a vast amount of power and boundless mystique!
This was a Spiritual Equipment, a Connate Spiritual Equipment!
It was a spiritual equipment that was nurtured by heaven and earth. It was not something that could be forged by humans!
Only Eternal Ancient Realm cultivators were qualified to refine an innate spiritual equipment into their body! Each of the innate spiritual equipment possessed heaven-shaking abilities!
Innate spiritual equipment was much rarer than innate magical treasures. Naturally, it was countless times rarer than the innate purple gourd in the Profound Yin World.
If this item is exposed to the old monsters of the Eastern Sky, Ning Fan could imagine how many Eternal Ancient Realm old monsters would come to him for it …
Compared to magical treasures, spiritual equipment had two advantages and one disadvantage.
The disadvantage was that most of the spiritual equipment was used as support. Very few of them had great destructive power.
As for the advantages, firstly, using a spiritual equipment did not require any magic power.
Secondly, once the grade of the spiritual equipment reaches a certain level, once it recognizes its master and refines it into the body, it would be impossible to snatch it away. When the master dies, the spiritual equipment would perish along with him. It was much more loyal than magical treasures, unlike magical treasures which could change owners after their master dies.
Ning Fan had mixed feelings about obtaining this innate ghost mask for free.
He was happy because this treasure was listed as an innate treasure. If he could refine it, his strength would certainly increase tremendously.
He was worried because he obtained this treasure in public. There were countless experts present. Many of them could tell that this ghost mask was an innate spiritual equipment.
"If someone sees clearly that the treasure I've obtained is an innate spirit equipment, I'm afraid it won't take long for a disaster to befall me …"
Ning Fan's brows were tightly knitted together. If someone else sees this item, he would rather hand it over to protect himself than offend countless old monsters at the Eternal Ancient Realm of the Eastern Heaven for this Innate Spiritual Equipment.
Of course, if he could refine this Spirit Equipment into his body before the Ten Thousand Ancient Realm monsters came knocking on his door, he would be able to dispel the covetous thoughts of others.
After all, high-grade Spiritual Equipment that had acknowledged its master couldn't be seized.
However, this was an innate spiritual equipment. Even though Ning Fan was the ancestor of the Fu Li Sect and he had a spirit inside his body, it was still very difficult for him to make such a high-grade spiritual equipment acknowledge him as its master.
While Ning Fan was deep in thought, an old but kind voice suddenly entered his ears. It was the voice of the Nether Sea Immortal King.
"Don't worry, little friend. I'm the only one here who can see the Connate Ghost Mask. In fact, the moment this treasure appeared, only immortal emperors could see it clearly. Even with my cultivation base, I can barely see the outline of the Connate Ghost Mask. Don't worry. Since you've obtained this ghost mask, it's your fate. I won't take it away from you and I won't allow anyone to do so. You can refine it without worry. The fourth round will be your chance to refine the ghost mask. "
Ning Fan's expression changed slightly. He looked at the Nether Sea Immortal King's direction and saw the latter's satisfied smile.
This time, he could even see the Nether Sea Immortal King's appearance clearly. It was a handsome white-haired young man! Of course, that was just his appearance. It was not the Nether Sea Immortal King's real age …
Since the Nether Sea Immortal King was willing to let Ning Fan see his appearance, Ning Fan was qualified to do so.
"With the Nether Sea Immortal King's cultivation base, if he wants to seize my Innate Spiritual Equipment, there's no need to talk so much nonsense. He could just attack me forcefully. How can I refuse? Since he said that he won't take my ghost mask, he definitely won't. Besides, he's the great elder of the Killing Palace and has an Immortal King Realm cultivation base. Perhaps he also has an Innate Ghost Mask. That's why he doesn't like my ghost mask … "
Ning Fan recalled Wu Chen and the other ghost-masked assassins and thought that most of the elders of the Killing Palace had their own ghost masks.
For experts like the Nether Sea Immortal King, their ghost masks were mostly of the Innate grade.
This time, Ning Fan's guess was wrong.
In the Killing Palace, every cultivator on the She Kong Realm had a ghost mask. Most of the cultivators in the Du Zhen Realm also had a Ghost Mask Spiritual Equipment.
However, other than the Slaughter Emperors of the past, no one else could have an Innate Ghost Mask!
This Innate Ghost Mask was a secret treasure. It was also a symbol of one's identity!
The Nether Sea Immortal King did not tell Ning Fan about this. Thus, Ning Fan did not know about it for the time being.
The Nether Sea Immortal King did not tell Ning Fan that the last time someone obtained the recognition of the Blood Sea Altar and was given an Innate Spiritual Equipment was more than six million years ago.
At that time, there was an elder of the Killing Palace called Fu Linglong. She obtained the recognition of the altar by chance and obtained an Innate Ghost Mask.
Later on, Fu Linglong died. Her Innate Ghost Mask self-destructed at the same time when she died and her elder token was lost …
Fu Linglong was once the hope of the Killing Palace. However, she failed to break through to the Eternal Ancient Realm and died …
"After six million years, another Young Emperor has finally appeared in this world … However, this Young Emperor has come too late. Venerated Sovereigns don't have much time left. I wonder if we can avoid this calamity of the Blood World … If the descendants of the Big Dipper Race can survive … "
Feeling worried, the Nether Sea Immortal King stopped smiling. He slowly stood up and said with a serious expression.
"The third round of the grand competition has ended. Quickly record the results. The fourth round will begin in two hours! The venue of the grand competition has been changed to the Blood Prison! The ten participants will choose a cell of their own in the Blood Prison and enter seclusion. For every day that they stay in the Blood Prison, their score will increase by one hundred thousand points! There is a limit to the number of points you can get in this round. You can only get three million points at most! "
"Elders, quickly follow me to seal the Blood Sea Altar and lift the seal on the Blood Prison!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Nether Sea Immortal King immediately led the other twenty-two elders to seal the Blood Sea Altar again. Then, they rushed to a blood valley not far away from the Killing City.
The blood valley was empty. The sky was filled with blood mist. Outside the valley, there were countless experts of the Slaughter Palace guarding it.
When the Nether Sea Immortal King arrived, all of them acted at the same time. Gradually, an oval-shaped blood-red light gate appeared out of nowhere in the empty blood valley.
That light gate led directly to the Blood Prison!
"I didn't expect the fourth round of the grand competition to be held in the Blood Prison. Moreover, the interval between the fourth and the third round is only two hours."
"The Blood Prison … is the place where the traitors of the Slaughter Palace are imprisoned. The intensity of the baleful qi inside is not something that ordinary people can withstand. Even some of the True Crossing Realm True Immortals of the Slaughter Palace don't dare to stay in there for more than ten days. As for the Life Immortals of the Slaughter Palace, they can forget about staying in there for a day … As for the Void Fragmentation Realm … Hehe … I'm afraid they can't even enter the gate of the Blood Prison … "
Ning Fan scanned the blood stele with his spirit sense. His score had already reached 24.27 million points. He did not even bother to look at the remaining points.
He casually sat cross-legged on the ground to calm the rising baleful qi in his body.
After experiencing the massacre in the Yao Sect Star Region, his baleful qi was enough to deter Peak Ghost Profound Realm cultivators.
Now that his baleful qi had increased by more than ten times, even Mid and Late True Crossing Realm cultivators would be slightly intimidated by his baleful qi.
As for ordinary Profound Realm cultivators, they probably could not even withstand a single glance from Ning Fan.
Two hours passed quickly. Such a short period of time was only enough for Ning Fan to slightly stabilize his baleful qi.
Qian Tuzi and the others received the Nether Sea Immortal King's order to bring Ning Fan and the other nine participants to the blood valley where the Blood Prison was located.
As for the old monsters of the Eastern Sky who came to watch the competition, they hurried to the outside of the blood valley. They did not dare to enter the blood valley without permission and only watched the competition from the outside.
The Blood Prison was an important place for the Slaughter Palace. Without the permission of the Slaughter Palace, outsiders were not allowed to step into the blood valley, let alone enter the blood prison. Otherwise, they would be killed without mercy.
Other than Ning Fan, Chi Zhen and Yu Kun, the rest of the participants were all rogue immortals. Moreover, they were the kind of rogue immortals who could fight Early Profound Realm experts.
The rules had already been announced by the Nether Sea Immortal King himself. There was no need for Qian Tuzi to mention it again.
However, regarding the specific situation in the blood prison, Qian Tuzi still had to mention it.
Looking at the ten participants, Qian Tuzi revealed a serious expression that he had never shown before. He said, "The Blood Prison is an important place. There are seven floors in total. Some of the cells contain the traitors of the Slaughter Palace and are tightly sealed. You can neither enter nor spy on them. Once you spy on them, you'll have to bear the consequences! As for the other empty cells, you can freely choose to use them for your secluded cultivation. "
"Enter the blood prison!"
Under Qian Tuzi's order, Ning Fan and the other nine participants stepped into the oval door of light.
Inside the door was the first floor of the blood prison. The baleful qi there was terrifying. Even an Early Profound Realm cultivator would find it hard to endure.
Among the ten participants, five of them were immediately invaded by the baleful qi and fainted outside the door.
"Carry them away!"
Under Qian Tuzi's order, the cultivators of the Slaughter Palace carried the five unconscious participants away.
These five people naturally did not have any results in this round.
"Try to refine the ghost face in the blood prison!" While Ning Fan was walking on the first floor of the blood prison, the voice of the Nether Sea Immortal King echoed in his Sea of Consciousness.
The sound of water dripping could be heard from time to time on the dark and damp stone path.
On both sides of the path were blood jade cells. Some of them were empty while some of them were tightly sealed with the prisoners of the Slaughter Palace.
Ning Fan did not have the intention to spy on these prisoners. He did not want to cause any trouble. He just wanted to find a place with strong baleful qi to refine the ghost face spiritual equipment.
The ghost face spiritual equipment was an innate spiritual equipment. Its baleful qi was extremely strong.
The reason why the Nether Sea Immortal King changed the location of the fourth round to the blood prison was because he wanted to use the boundless baleful qi of the blood prison to help Ning Fan refine the ghost face.
Ning Fan did not believe that the Nether Sea Immortal King would be so kind to help a Void Fragmentation Realm junior.
He believed that the Nether Sea Immortal King must have a purpose for helping him refine the ghost face.
As for what the Nether Sea Immortal King's purpose was, Ning Fan did not know.
To Ning Fan, it was indeed better to refine the ghost face.
He had checked it repeatedly with his spirit sense. This ghost face had not been tampered with.
As such, refining an innate spiritual equipment would only bring him benefits and no harm.
The only thing he could do now was to take one step at a time. He would first refine the spiritual equipment and improve his strength.
However, there was one thing that he still could not figure out.
Why was the Nether Sea Immortal King so sure that a mere Void Fragmentation Realm cultivator like him could refine the innate spiritual equipment?
Only Eternal Ancient Realm cultivators would be able to refine an innate spiritual equipment …
"Could it be that the Nether Sea Deity King has found out that I have a spirit in my body and can refine Spiritual Equipment beyond my cultivation level?"
Ning Fan's eyes turned cold.
Well, it made sense. He was just a First Step Immortal King whereas the Immortal King of the Nether Sea was an Immortal King who had undergone the Fifth Tribulation of the ancient times. In front of the Nether Sea, he had almost no secrets to hide.
Fu Li Ancestral Blood, Mo Luo Ancestral Blood, Rain Lineage Divine Blood … Perhaps everything about him had been exposed to the Nether Sea Immortal King.
The Ghostface Spirit Equipment was a type of Spirit Equipment that concealed one's aura, shielded one's senses, and isolated the secrets of the heavens.
The innate ghost mask was even more powerful, it might be able to block the divination and prying of Immortal Kings or even Immortal Emperors.
With this thought in mind, Ning Fan's determination to refine the Innate Ghost Mask became stronger.
He had a lot of secrets on his body, and there were too many powerhouses in Eastern Sky. Today, the Nether Sea Immortal King saw through his secrets. In the future, who knows who will see through his secrets?
If he could refine the Innate Ghost Mask, it would be much safer for him to travel in the Four Heavens.
Since he had a spirit in his body, he was qualified to refine the Innate Ghost Mask. However, in order to truly refine it, he would need to find a place with strong baleful qi and suppress it with baleful qi to reduce the difficulty of refining it.
The first level of the blood prison was used to imprison prisoners at the First Step of Dao Cultivation. The baleful qi here was only enough to scare ordinary Profound Xuan cultivators. It was not enough to help Ning Fan refine the Innate Ghost Mask.
Ning Fan walked towards the end of the blood prison. At the end of the prison, there was a staircase that led to the underground. It must be the second level of the blood prison.
"* Cough * Cough * … Brother Ning wants to go to the second level of the blood prison?"
Chi Zhen and the others who had been following behind Ning Fan looked at him with a bitter smile.
Even though they were just standing at the entrance of the staircase, they could feel the terrifying baleful qi in the second level.
Even Chi Zhen did not dare to touch the baleful qi in the second level.
"Mm. The four of you will stay in the first level. "
Ning Fan was not interested in the four participants behind him. He walked all the way down to the second level of the blood prison.
Even ordinary Early Ghost Profound Realm experts would find it hard to endure the baleful qi in the second level of the blood prison.
Chi Zhen and Yu Kun glanced at each other before shaking their heads in self-ridicule. Each of them found an empty cell on the first floor and went into seclusion.
The other two Itinerant Immortals endured the pain of being devoured by the baleful aura. They gritted their teeth and searched for an empty cell on the first floor.
The two of them had only been in closed door cultivation for two hours before they were unable to endure the baleful energy in this place, and they had no choice but to leave the Blood Prison and give up on the fourth round of the competition.
Yu Kun persisted in the first floor for a day while Chi Zhen persisted for two days. Eventually, all of them left the blood prison except for Ning Fan.
Ning Fan was the only one who stayed in the blood prison for a long time.
...
Even an ordinary Du Zhen would not dare to enter the third floor of the Blood Prison.
The baleful qi in this place was still not enough to affect his body and mind.
In the fourth level of the blood prison, the baleful aura was strong enough to intimidate ordinary Sher Kong!
The baleful aura here was even stronger than Yao Qingyun's!
Even Ning Fan found it hard to endure the baleful qi in this place!
When he first entered the Blood Sea Star, Yao Qingyun's baleful qi had easily devoured his body.
Now, his baleful qi had greatly increased. Even though it was still inferior to Yao Qingyun's, the gap between them was no longer as huge as before.
Traces of blood-red appeared in Ning Fan's eyes. He bit the tip of his tongue and forcefully suppressed the baleful qi that was invading his body, keeping himself awake.
He did not continue to go down. The baleful qi in the fourth floor was already so powerful. The baleful qi in the fifth floor was definitely not something that he could resist!
He found a cell on the fourth floor and sat cross-legged on the ground. Then, he patted his storage pouch and took out the silver ghost mask.
The ghost mask was cold to the touch. It was a bone-piercing cold.
The moment he held the ghost mask, his palm began to freeze. Blood-red ice crystals began to form on it.
"What a cold baleful qi!"
Ning Fan tried to melt the blood-red ice crystals with his Yin Yang Flame. However, he realized that he could not do it at all!
This blood-red ice was not ice of the water element. It could not be melted by the power of the five elements.
"So I can only resist it with baleful qi …?"
Ning Fan closed his eyes and calmed himself. Traces of earth baleful qi flowed from his body to his right arm.
Gradually, his frozen right arm began to melt.
Ning Fan heaved a sigh of relief and looked at the silver ghost mask. His eyes became more and more solemn.
He had to use all of his strength just to touch this spiritual equipment.
The difficulty of refining this spiritual equipment was probably far beyond his expectation.
The purple star in his left eye flashed. A vast and mighty ancestral demon aura spread out from his body.
He had the ancestral bloodline of the Fu Li Clan. His bloodline had a spirit!
At the moment when the ancestral aura of the Fu Li Clan spread out, the innate ghost mask trembled slightly. The coldness lessened and it seemed to have become much more docile.
Ning Fan took a deep breath. He used the baleful qi in the fourth floor to suppress the ghost mask and the bloodline of the Fu Li Clan to raise his hand and put the ghost mask on his face!
All of a sudden, an unimaginable blood-red cold qi spread out from Ning Fan's body and spread to the entire fourth floor of the blood prison!
The fourth floor of the blood prison turned into a world of ice in an instant. Every corner was sealed by blood-red ice!
Those who were imprisoned in the fourth floor of the blood prison were the True Immortals of the Slaughter Palace who had committed serious crimes and had their cultivation base crippled.
Even though their cultivation base was crippled, their baleful qi was still present.
Even though the cells were protected by various seals, they could still vaguely feel the extremely terrifying baleful qi outside the cells. It was as cold as ice and impossible to resist!
"What kind of baleful qi is this?! How could it be so cold?! It can actually penetrate the seals of the blood prison and pierce into the cells! "
Each of the True Immortal prisoners who were restrained by the blood-red chains had a drastic change of expression.
They had never seen such terrifying baleful qi in their lives!
Perhaps … Perhaps … Only Lord Sha Di could possess such terrifying baleful qi!
At the moment when he put on the ghost mask, his eyes turned blood-red. He stood up abruptly and his black hair danced wildly in the air!
As the baleful qi spread, the dancing black hair eventually turned into a head of dazzling silver hair! (To be continued.)
