The ancient devil puppet's aura force which was comparable to She Kong's aura force shocked everyone present.
Under its aura force, the entire starry sky trembled. No one dared to make a sound!
The strongest expert here was only at the Mid Nascent Soul Realm. Within a short period of time, no one could tell that the cloaked ancient devil puppet was not a living person.
If they knew that the old monster She Kong who suddenly appeared in front of them was just a puppet, they would probably be even more astonished.
Ning Fan moved forward step by step, entangling the puppet's strings with his fingers. The ancient devil puppet followed behind him obediently.
When the two elders of the Heavenly Ghost, Yuan Zong and the other two true immortals saw this scene, they were all shocked.
They did not know what the ancient devil puppet was but they could vaguely tell that Ning Fan and the ancient devil puppet had a master-servant relationship.
Ning Fan was the master while the ancient devil was the servant!
Even though they could not understand why a dignified old monster with She Kong's cultivation base would obey Ning Fan who was only at the Ghost Profound Realm!
At this moment, Ning Fan's Early Ghost Profound Realm cultivation base was exposed in front of everyone without any concealment.
The five true immortals did not know Ning Fan. All of them began to guess his identity and background.
It was hard for them to imagine what kind of terrifying background Ning Fan had to have the qualifications to have a servant at the She Kong Realm!
"One breath!"
Ning Fan's cold voice sounded like the voice of an undead spirit from the netherworld. It resounded once again and entered the ears of the two elders of the Heavenly Ghost and the other true immortals.
As soon as his voice fell, the ancient devil puppet took a step forward. The devil qi around his body was monstrous. Countless cracks of the laws of the starry sky were left behind by his step!
The great momentum was crushed by the ancient devil puppet with a single step. The destructive force went towards the two elders of the Heavenly Ghost and the others!
Under the destructive force, the five true immortals coughed out blood and were forced to retreat. They did not have the strength to resist at all. Each of their faces was filled with fear.
Only then did they remember that Ning Fan had only given them three breaths to make a choice. Either be a slave or die!
At such a chaotic moment, how could they have the time to think about Ning Fan's identity and background?!
"I'm a true immortal after all. How can I be a slave to a mere Ghost Profound Realm cultivator like you …" The old ancestor of the Zheng Family harrumphed angrily. He took out an immortal talisman from his sleeve and slapped it on his chest. Then, his body turned into a ray of light and fled ten billion li * (500m per li) in just a breath!
He was arrogant by nature. He knew that he was no match for She Kong Lao, but he was not willing to become someone else's slave.
Ning Fan's expression was as cold as before. He hooked the puppet string with his finger and the ancient devil puppet beside him suddenly raised its fist and hurled a punch at the direction where the old ancestor of the Zheng Family had escaped!
Streaks of blood-red Ancient Demon talismans filled the starry sky!
A fist projection covered in crimson lightning flashed across the distance of five billion kilometers before crashing into the body of the Zheng Family Patriarch!
Bang!
In the dark starry sky ten billion miles away, blood-red lightning suddenly shook the world and rumbled endlessly!
After the fist energy killed the Zheng family's ancestor, it turned into endless lightning. Even from ten billion miles away, the blinding blood color could be seen!
The ancient devil puppet's face was expressionless. It took a step forward and instantly vanished without a trace. At the next moment, it returned to its original spot and handed over the primordial spirit and storage pouch of the Zheng Family's old ancestor to Ning Fan.
"Two breaths!"
In front of the remaining four True Immortal realm enemies, Ning Fan kept the storage pouch of the old ancestor of the Zheng Family and searched his soul and memories on the spot.
This scene shocked the remaining four Perfected Immortal enemies!
The old ancestor of the Zheng Family was unwilling to be Ning Fan's slave. That was why he could not escape death …
If they refuse to be Ning Fan's slaves, they would probably end up in a miserable state …
Without waiting for Ning Fan to count to the third breath, the four Perfected Immortal realm enemies exchanged glances with each other. They suppressed the regret and unwillingness in their hearts and clenched their teeth. Then, they cupped their fists at Ning Fan and said.
"We're willing to be your slaves!"
If they refused to be slaves, what awaited them was death. They had no other choice at all.
Ning Fan did not waste time talking to the four of them. He spread his spirit sense and planted a Restrictive Thought in their Sea of Consciousness.
How would the four of them dare to resist? They allowed the Restrictive Thought to be planted in them. From now on, their life and death would be under Ning Fan's control …
They were filled with regret. They regretted why they attacked the Six Desires Sect for the 5500 tufts of spiritual herbs.
If they knew that the Six Desires Sect had such a strong backer, how would they dare to provoke them? How would they end up as slaves?
The faces of the old ancestor of the Zhao Family, the old ancestor of the Wang Family and the two elders of the Heavenly Ghost were filled with regret.
Yuan Zong's face was still filled with disbelief. Until now, he still could not believe that Ning Fan actually had a Void Shedding Servant following him.
All of a sudden, Yuan Zong seemed to have discovered something extremely shocking. His expression changed greatly as he stared at the ancient devil puppet.
The two elders of the Heavenly Ghost and the others also noticed the strange behavior of the ancient devil puppet. Their eyes were filled with astonishment once again.
"Master, this senior is …" Yuan Zong calmed himself down. As if he was trying to ascertain something, he pointed at the ancient devil puppet beside Ning Fan and inquired.
"A puppet!"
Ning Fan did not conceal the identity of the ancient devil puppet.
Due to Ning Fan's sudden appearance earlier, none of them had the time to see through his identity.
At this moment, Yuan Zong and the others could vaguely tell that the ancient devil puppet was not a living person.
Since that was the case, there was no need for them to conceal the identity of the ancient devil puppet.
"What?! It's really a puppet! A puppet that is comparable to Void Shedding Servant?! "All of a sudden, the expressions of Yuan Zong, the old ancestor of the Zhao Family, the old ancestor of the Wang Family and the two elders of the Heavenly Ghost changed greatly.
Ning Fan, however, continued to search the soul of the old ancestor of the Zheng Family without any change in his expression. After searching all of the memories of the old ancestor of the Zheng Family, Ning Fan used a secret technique to refine the primordial spirit of the old ancestor of the Zheng Family and kept it into his soul pouch.
"Divine Blast Technique! Could Master be … "The expressions of the old ancestor of the Zhao Family, the old ancestor of the Wang Family and the two elders of the Heavenly Ghost changed. They recognized that the primordial spirit that Ning Fan refined was the secret version of the Divine Blast Technique!
Tens of years ago, when Ning Fan first entered the Eastern Heaven, his name shook the entire Eastern Heaven with the Divine Blast Technique.
The old ancestor of the Zhao Family and the others were quite far away from the star region where Ning Fan was. Thus, they did not pay much attention to Ning Fan. Neither did they recognize Ning Fan's appearance. However, they had vaguely heard of Ning Fan's name.
Now, as soon as they saw the Divine Blast Technique, they could vaguely guess Ning Fan's identity.
For a moment, the four of them wore extremely strange expressions. Sometimes, they would even sigh deeply.
Who would have thought that a Void Fragmentation Realm junior who had just joined the Slaughter Palace a few decades ago would actually become their master after a few decades?
Who would have thought that Ning Fan could cultivate from the Peak Shattering Realm to the Early Ghost Profound Realm in just a few decades and even possess a Void Shedding Puppet …
Even Yuan Zong did not expect Ning Fan to be at the Early Ghost Profound Realm today.
Seven years ago, Ning Fan was only at the Peak Mortal Profound Realm.
Yuan Zong also did not expect that Ning Fan would have a Void Shedding Puppet in his hands, which allowed him to easily resolve the great calamity of the Six Desires Sect.
For the first time in his life, Yuan Zong felt that he could not see through a Life Immortal Realm cultivator. He felt that Ning Fan was too profound and unfathomable.
...
As soon as the old ancestor of the Zheng Family died, the Zheng Family became a place without a master.
Under Ning Fan's order, Yuan Zong and the other four True Immortals acted aggressively and destroyed the Zheng Family, completely erasing their name from the Eastern Heaven.
All the cultivators of the Zheng Family, Zhao Family and Wang Family were planted with a Mental Seal and merged into the Six Desires Sect! The two elders of the Heavenly Ghost also joined the Six Desires Sect as a guest elder!
The seventy-four thousand cultivation planets in the entire Six Desires Star Region were all incorporated into the Six Desires Sect's sphere of influence!
The Six Desires Star Region was unified!
Under Ning Fan's strict order, Yuan Zong and the others did not reveal the fact that Ning Fan had become the master of the Six Desires Star Region.
Within the territory of the Six Desires Star Region, the memories of every cultivator who saw the ancient devil puppet attack were all erased by Ning Fan.
Ning Fan did not want others to know that he possessed an ancient devil puppet that was comparable to She Kong and he also did not want them to know that he had become the master of the Six Desires Star Region.
If these two matters were to spread out, Ning Fan would once again attract the attention of countless old monsters in the Eastern Heaven, just like how he did ten years ago.
At this moment, Ning Fan did not want to attract anyone's attention because what he wanted to do next needed to be done in a low-profile manner.
He had already decided to steal the joss flames of the entire Eastern Heaven on a large scale. It was not a good thing to attract too much attention.
The total savings of the Zhao Family, Wang Family and Zheng Family amounted to about four hundred billion Dao Crystals. All of them were used by Ning Fan to purchase one million years old spiritual herbs.
The outside world was widely rumored that the Six Desires Sect had found a powerful backer who forcefully subdued the three great True Immortal Realm forces and unified the entire Six Desires Star Region.
However, no one knew who the backer of the Six Desires Sect was.
In the blink of an eye, one year had passed.
In the Profound Yin World, Ning Fan sat down with his legs crossed and cultivated diligently. Once he did so, he cultivated the Three Flowers Converging Prominence Technique.
During this one year, Ning Fan had refined a total of 8400 tufts of one million years old spiritual herbs.
Beside him was a lead-colored lotus flower. The lead-colored lotus flower had twelve petals, and each petal was lead-colored.
The Three Flowers Converging Prominence Technique had been completely cultivated to the Great Perfection Realm of the first flower.
With a single thought from Ning Fan, one million lead-colored lotus shadows densely covered the entire area. Even an Early True Immortal Realm True Immortal would find it difficult to break through the powerful defense of the lotus.
Looking at the lotus shadows that filled the sky, Ning Fan smiled in satisfaction. He kept the lotus shadows and slowly stood up.
"Since I have already cultivated the first flower to the Great Perfection Realm, I should be able to start cultivating the second flower. Unfortunately, one of the prerequisites for cultivating the second flower is to possess ancestral grade divine blood … "
"Forget it. I can't force myself to have ancestral grade divine blood. I can put the cultivation of the second flower aside for now. As for the trip to the Supreme Pill Sacred Region, I need to make a good plan … "
There were still about ten years before the opening of the Supreme Pill Sacred Region. He had an appointment with Ou Yangnuan. Ten years later, he would go to the Medicine Sect and accompany her to enter the Supreme Pill Sacred Region.
He would never forget this matter.
He had enough time to rush to the Hundred Herbs Star Region where the Medicine Sect was located.
Along the way, he would pass by thousands of star regions and there would be plenty of opportunities to steal joss flames.
Moreover, he would also pass by the Quicksand Star Region along the way.
Quicksand Star Region, Quicksand Secret Place, Ancient God's Cave of Time … This was a secret place that Lu Xin 'er told him about. There was a great fortune hidden there.
Ning Fan's eyes turned slightly solemn. If he passes by the Quicksand Star Region, he must enter that Ancient God's Cave of Time and search for a good fortune.
He patted his storage pouch and took out the Joss Flame Demon Puppet. Looking at the puppet, Ning Fan fell into deep thought.
The Joss Flame Demon Puppet could steal the joss flames of others. Since it was damaged, its power was greatly reduced.
If it steals the joss flames of living people, it could at most steal the joss flames of True Enlightenment Realm cultivators.
However, if it steals the joss flames of the dead, it could barely steal the joss flames of a Void Abandoning Realm cultivator.
The old ancestor of the Yao Family was a Void Abandoning Realm cultivator. However, because he had fallen a long time ago, Ning Fan easily took away the joss flames that he had collected from the golden body of the temple.
If the old ancestor of the Yao Family was still alive, Ning Fan would never be able to steal his joss flames no matter what.
After keeping the Joss Flame Demon Puppet, Ning Fan scanned the Cauldron World with his spirit sense and then his sword pouch.
Within the sword pouch, the five little girls were meditating with their eyes closed, comprehending the way of the sword. After not seeing each other for seven years, their auras had grown.
In the Cauldron World, Mu Weiliang had yet to come out and Zi Li was still breaking through in the demon cocoon.
Withdrawing his spirit sense, Ning Fan shook his head with a smile. These little girls are all busy with their work.
With a flash, he left the Profound Yin World and returned to the Six Desires Sect. Outside the forbidden area of the Six Desires Sect, only Yuan Zong was left.
One year ago, the old ancestor of the Zhao Family, the old ancestor of the Wang Family and the two elders of the Heavenly Ghost were all sent by Ning Fan to various star regions to collect 'Medicine Soul Stones'.
The Medicine Soul Stone was a special kind of ore. When an Alchemist refined it, it could replenish the consumed Medicine Soul Power.
There were too many Ancient Era's Immortal Medicines in the Extreme Dan Sanctuary, and the medicinal qi was too strong. When cultivators entered, they would need to use the power of their medicine soul to resist the medicinal qi at all times.
Once the power of one's medicine soul was depleted, it would be difficult for them to resist the Saint realm's medicine qi. It was extremely dangerous.
Therefore, the cultivators who entered the Extreme Dan Sanctuary would usually carry a large number of Medicine Soul Stones to replenish their medicine soul power at any time.
Moreover, there were many secret sealed places in the Extreme Dan Sanctuary. The seals of the secret places could only be broken by using enough Medicine Soul Stones. In order to enter the sealed secret places to search for opportunities, one would need to spend a large number of Medicine Soul Stones.
There were still ten years before the opening of the Extreme Dan Sanctuary. Many forces in the Eastern Sky were purchasing Medicine Soul Stones on a large scale. Without certain connections, one would not be able to buy Medicine Soul Stones at all.
Most of the Medicine Soul Stones on the trading planets were already sold out. In the Eastern Sky, the Medicine Soul Stones were currently in a state where there was a demand but there was no supply.
Ning Fan naturally did not have the time to buy Medicine Soul Stones himself. Perhaps Ouyang Nuan would prepare some for him. However, he still decided to prepare some himself. The more the better.
Anyway, the matter of purchasing Medicine Soul Stones had already been handed over to his subordinates. There was nothing wrong with preparing a few more.
"Yuan Zong greets Master!"
As soon as he saw Ning Fan walk out of the forbidden area, Yuan Zong immediately stepped forward and cupped his fists. His expression was full of respect.
From being polite and friendly to being respectful and humble, then to being awed and impressed. Yuan Zong's attitude towards Ning Fan changed again and again.
In the past, Yuan Zong only acknowledged Ning Fan as his master because of the ancestor's will. Now, even without the ancestor's will, Yuan Zong was also willing to acknowledge Ning Fan as his master.
One year ago, Ning Fan controlled the Shedding Void Puppet and forcefully saved the Six Desires Sect from disaster. He unified the Six Desires Star Region and won Yuan Zong's respect.
"Dispense with the formalities. How's the collection of Medicine Soul Stones going?"
"Master, Zhao Jian, Wang Ling, Chi Tian Gui and Yan Tian Gui are gathering Medicine Soul Stones in various star regions. Currently, they have already collected several thousand pieces …" The four names Yuan Zong mentioned were the names of the four true immortals who had surrendered to him.
"Only several thousand pieces, huh? It's a little too little. Normally, when people enter the Extreme Dan Sanctuary, they would bring more than one hundred thousand Medicine Soul Stones with them … Within ten years, they have to prepare at least one hundred thousand Medicine Soul Stones. Naturally, it's better if they can collect more. Ten years later, all of you will meet me at the place where the Extreme Dan Sanctuary will be opened. Then, hand over the Medicine Soul Stones to me. "
Ning Fan gave Yuan Zong and the others a strict order, ordering them to collect more than one hundred thousand Medicine Soul Stones within ten years.
After that, Ning Fan left the Six Desires Star Region alone …
A few months after Ning Fan left, the old ancestor of the Zhao Family, Zhao Jian, suddenly sent a message to him.
"Good news! Good news! I've found an ancient secret place of cultivators by chance in the Stone Creek Star Region. There is actually an entire mine of Medicine Soul Stones in it! I've made a preliminary estimation. If we excavate all the Medicine Soul Stones in the mine, we'll be able to excavate at least a few million of them. The total value is more than three hundred billion Dao Crystals! Yuan Zong, quickly tell this good news to Master! "
"… Master has already left the Six Desires Star a few months ago." Yuan Zong told Zhao Jian about Ning Fan's order.
"Uh … Master is actually not on the Six Desires Star?! Fine. Inform the others to come to the Stone Creek Star Region. We'll work together and excavate all the Medicine Soul Stones in this mine. Ten years later, we'll certainly give Master a pleasant surprise. We'll also make a great contribution! "
...
Ning Fan did not know that as soon as he left the Six Desires Star, he had obtained a mine of Medicine Soul Stones that was left behind by an ancient cultivator.
The current him was only thinking about stealing incense.
In the past few months, Ning Fan had flown past hundreds of low-grade and mid-grade star regions while riding on the Blood Lotus Spirit Equipment.
During that time, he had taken action several times. He used the ghost mask to conceal himself and used the incense demon puppets to steal the incense from the clan temples of twelve Du Zhen forces and eighty-seven Life Immortal forces.
It was his first time stealing incense on a large scale. Most of the incense he stole were from the living.
The total amount of incense from those forces was not even one ten-thousandth of the incense from the progenitor of the Yao Family!
This little amount of incense was far from enough for Ning Fan to break through to the next cultivation level.
To Second Step cultivators, the power of incense was a great method to increase their cultivation level.
Therefore, Second Step cultivators in the Four Heavens would usually build their own golden temples for people to worship and collect incense.
These Second Step cultivators would take their own incense once every ten years or even hundreds of years. Thus, they basically could not steal too much incense from the living and could not accumulate any incense at all.
Unlike the progenitor of the Yao Family who had been dead for millions of years, his incense had also accumulated for millions of years.
"As expected, I still have to take advantage of the wealth of the dead …" Ning Fan sighed softly and decided to steal the incense from the dead.
The cultivation world was cruel and selfish. The death of a person was like an extinguished lamp. No matter how revered a person was, he or she might gradually be forgotten after death.
It was just like the past sect masters of the Six Desires Sect. Most of them had the cultivation base of a True Immortal Realm cultivator but none of them had unparalleled achievements. Thus, they could not be revered by others for generations to come. Once they die, their incense would also be cut off.
Only the progenitor of the Yao Family, who was a heaven-shaking and earth-shattering figure who created the Spirit Explosion Technique and injured an immortal emperor with his empty cultivation base, was still worshipped and revered by the cultivators of the Eastern Heaven for millions of years after his death.
Ning Fan summed up his experience in stealing incense.
If he wanted to steal, he would steal the incense of the dead. Moreover, he had to steal the incense of the dead who were famous throughout the world when they were alive.
Since his Incense Demon Puppet was damaged, Ning Fan could only steal the incense of the dead at the Empty Shedding Realm at most.
The old ancestors of the Empty Shedding Realm who were famous throughout the world were basically from various high-grade star regions.
From the star region where Ning Fan was now to the Hundred Herbs Star Region, he had to pass through a total of eleven high-grade star regions.
Among these eleven star regions, only four of them had produced a famous Empty Shedding Realm great expert like the progenitor of the Yao Family.
After the four great experts of the Empty Shedding Realm had fallen, their incense had not been cut off until now. Some of them had at least accumulated two million years worth of incense while some of them had accumulated eight to nine million years worth of incense!
If he wanted to steal, he would steal the incense of the four dead experts!
"Among the four of them, the closest one was born in the Quicksand Star Region. He was the clan leader of the Quicksand Clan in the 476th generation. People call him Daoist Quicksand. Before he died, his cultivation base was already at the peak of the Empty Shedding Realm. The reason why this person's name shook the Eastern Heaven and his prestige did not diminish in the past was very simple … This Daoist Quicksand was one of the few experts who had comprehended the secret technique of time in the history of the Eastern Heaven Immortal World! His most famous achievement was reversing ten thousand years of time with a single finger, reducing the cultivation base of an ancient Immortal Venerable by ten thousand years! "
"The Quicksand Star Region, huh? It seems like there are quite a lot of things that I have to do in this star region."
Ning Fan patted his storage pouch and took out the star compass of the Quicksand Star Region. Then, he flew towards the star region at full speed.
Half a year later, Ning Fan had flown past more than one thousand star regions and arrived at the Quicksand Star Region.
As soon as he entered the Quicksand Star Region, the demonic qi that filled the entire star region instantly made Ning Fan's eyes turn cold!
In the starry sky, there were broken limbs and corpses of fallen beasts floating everywhere!
Some of the low-grade cultivation planets had already been destroyed by someone …
As his thoughts raced, Ning Fan could vaguely guess that a huge change had probably happened in the Quicksand Star Region …
Far away from him, hundreds of gigantic ice beasts were desperately chasing after a group of cultivators.
That group of cultivators had a total of seven people. All of them were at the Life Immortal Realm. The strongest among them was an old monster at the Late Human Profound Realm. He was riding on a gigantic blood-red demonic bird!
The seven of them fled all the way, looking extremely miserable!
There were more than five hundred Giant Ice Beasts chasing after the seven of them.
Each of them had qi that was comparable to a Rogue Immortal Realm cultivator!
Among them, there were twenty-two gigantic beasts whose qi was comparable to the Profound Mortal Realm!
The body of the beast in the lead was nearly as large as a low-grade cultivation planet. Its qi had already reached the Ghost Profound Realm!
As soon as the seven cultivators who were fleeing for their lives saw Ning Fan, they immediately rushed towards him, looking like they wanted to ask for help.
Ning Fan frowned. He did not like to get involved in other people's disputes.
Suddenly, Ning Fan's gaze fell on the cultivator who was riding on the blood-red demonic bird.
Then, he withdrew his expression and flew towards that group of people. He actually had the intention to help them.
"I owe this person a favor on the Shaoze Star in the past. Today, I will help him!"
