The rubies in the eyes of the twelve sphinxes were called Scarlet Essence Stones, which were unique to the Quicksand Tribe.
This stone contained extremely powerful True Yang energy and could be absorbed by second-step cultivators who cultivated True Yang energy.
This stone could also be used to refine treasures and set up formations.
These twelve sphinx statues were arranged according to the formation. When they were combined, it would be an absolute killing formation. Even a Void Shedding Cultivator would not be able to break into this formation.
If a cultivator below the Sky Renhuang Realm tried to barge into the clan temple without a token, he or she would be killed by the red light in the eyes of the twelve statues.
Ning Fan stood in the sky and looked down at the twelve giant statues. He had a feeling in his heart.
If he did not show the token that Mu Tu had given him and chose to barge into the pyramids, he would definitely be attacked by the twelve colossi.
"You don't seem to be from the Quicksand Clan! Why have you come to the clan temple? "
A few interrogative voices came from the pyramid.
At the same time, seven traces of Profound Ghost spirit sense spread out from the pyramid and swept towards Ning Fan.
These seven people were from the Quicksand Clan, who were guarding the clan temple. Among the seven, there was even a mid-stage Ghost Profound expert.
These people had been guarding the clan temple for a long time. Thus, they did not know what was happening in the outside world. They also did not know that Ning Fan had joined the Demon Suppressing Alliance as the fifth alliance leader.
Ning Fan patted his storage pouch and took out the token in his hand.
In an instant, the seven temple guards were shocked. "Guest token!"
At the next moment, the ferocious glint in the eyes of the twelve giant statues disappeared. The seven priests of the Quicksand Clan hurriedly came out of the clan's temple and greeted Ning Fan with cupped fists. Their expressions were extremely respectful!
As soon as they saw the token, even though the seven of them knew that Ning Fan was not a member of Liu Sha, they still did not dare to offend him.
The token that Mu Tu gave Ning Fan was a token that only the guest elders of the Quicksand Clan could possess.
With this token, even if Ning Fan was not a member of the Quicksand Clan, he could still enjoy the treatment of an elder in the clan.
Ning Fan's eyes flashed. He did not expect that Mu Tu would give him such a useful token. Now that he knew the origin of the token, he was slightly surprised but his expression did not show it.
"I want to enter the clan temple alone to kowtow to the ancestral statue and ask for the jade slip of a forbidden technique. I don't want anyone to disturb me." Ning Fan ordered indifferently.
"Yes!"
Naturally, the seven priests did not dare to disobey Ning Fan's order.
Every member of the Quicksand Tribe who came to ask for the jade slips of the forbidden technique didn't want others to see their jade slips.
The forbidden technique jade slip was the life-saving trump card of every Quicksand clansman. How could they let outsiders know about it?
None of the oracles thought that Ning Fan was going to be a gentleman on the roof. They only thought that Ning Fan did not want others to know what kind of ability the jade slips he obtained contained.
Ning Fan nodded his head in satisfaction. He walked into the pyramid alone while the seven oracles waited respectfully outside.
This was the place where the golden bodies of the Quicksand Tribe's leaders were enshrined. There were thousands of temples in the tower, but only 500 temples had the golden bodies of incense.
Of the more than five hundred Quicksand Clan elders, only ten or twenty of them had incense flames continuously growing in their golden bodies. As for the others, their incense flames had stopped growing a long time ago. They had already been forgotten by the people of the world. No one consecrated them, no one revered them, no one worshipped them.
Among these twenty people, Daoist Flowing Sand had the most incense sticks.
This person reversed ten thousand years of time with a single finger, causing an ancient Immortal Venerable's cultivation to be reduced by ten thousand years. This had once shocked the entire Eastern Heaven Immortal World.
The number of Eastern Sky cultivators who worshiped and worshiped him was not few.
After nine million years of accumulation, the number of incense sticks he had was not much less than the old ancestor of the Yao Family.
Walking past the temples, Ning Fan held the demon puppet in his hand and waved his hand to take away the incense stick power from the golden statues of the deceased.
No matter how many incense sticks there were, Ning Fan would take them whenever he could. Of course, he would not waste them.
Every time he took away a person's incense stick, Ning Fan would light up a stick of incense and bow to the deceased whose incense was stolen.
Since the deceased had already passed away, it was useless to keep their incense sticks. Taking them away would not harm his Dao Heart.
Returning an incense stick to the deceased could be considered as a token of appreciation to them.
After walking through all the temples, Ning Fan had obtained a terrifying amount of incense stick power. All of them were placed in his golden statue of incense sticks.
The golden statue's appearance was exactly the same as Ning Fan's. The incense stick power it contained was enough for Ning Fan's magic power to increase by a few times.
This was the total amount of incense sticks left by the leaders of the Quicksand Tribe for more than five hundred generations. It was enough to save a Ghost Realm cultivator ten thousand years of arduous cultivation. To Ning Fan, however, it was still not enough to break through to the Mid Ghost Realm in one go.
It was too difficult to advance to the Ghost Realm.
After stealing all the joss flames, Ning Fan had achieved one of his objectives in coming to Quicksand Star Region.
Even though he had already obtained the Joss Flame, he was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he continued to walk towards the depths of the ancestral temple.
In the deepest part of the clan temple, there was a golden statue of the Quicksand Clan's first ancestor.
Ancestor Quicksand was an Immortal King of a generation. Ning Fan would not be able to steal his incense.
As the ancestor of a clan, the amount of Joss Flame Power he had accumulated was naturally extremely terrifying.
However, if he couldn't steal them away, Ning Fan would not covet them no matter how many joss sticks there were.
Most people entered the clan temple to pay their respects to the golden statue of the Flowing Sand Ancestor and ask him to bestow upon them a forbidden technique jade scroll.
Even though Ning Fan did not have the intention to worship the ancestral statue, he did not mind trying to see if he could obtain the jade slip of the forbidden technique from the statue.
If he could obtain a forbidden technique jade slip for free, it would naturally be a wonderful thing.
In the deepest part of the clan temple, there was a golden palace. Ancient incense burned in the palace, and the fragrance still lingered.
On the four walls of the palace, there were some ancient murals, describing the past events of the Quicksand Clan.
A giant golden statue was carved in the middle of the palace. It was the statue of an elderly man with three eyes.
There was a golden pupil on the glabella of that elderly man. He held a golden scepter in his left hand and a cobra coiled around his body. His right hand held a pearl.
That pearl was made of pure gold and it was even more dazzling than the other parts of the golden statue.
It was as if it wasn't a golden pearl, but a small, dazzling sun.
"Is this the golden body of the Flowing Sand Clan's first ancestor …?"
Ning Fan's eyes were filled with emotions. He took a sandalwood incense from the side and walked towards the cauldron in front of the golden statue. He inserted a stick of incense into the ashes in the cauldron. Then, he cupped his fists slightly and bowed to the golden statue of the Flowing Sand Clan's first ancestor.
He was not a member of the Flowing Sand Clan. Thus, he would not kneel to the first ancestor.
This cupping of his fists was just a way to remember the ancestors and to see if he could obtain the jade scroll of the forbidden technique with this incense and bow.
After bowing, Ning Fan quietly looked at the golden statue of the Flowing Sand Clan's first ancestor and waited patiently.
After he bowed, the joss flame power in the golden statue of the Flowing Sand Clan's first ancestor appeared out of nowhere.
That trace of joss flame power was naturally born from Ning Fan's admiration.
The moment the joss flame power appeared, the golden statue of the Flowing Sand Clan's first ancestor gave off a faint golden light. Gradually, that golden light became dazzling.
Traces of golden light condensed around Ning Fan and turned into golden jade slips that floated in the air.
These golden jade slips were still in an illusory state. They recorded the various forbidden techniques that the Flowing Sand Clan's first ancestor had learned in his life.
Very soon, the palace was filled with the shadows of hundreds of thousands of golden jade slips.
Ning Fan stood among the countless jade slips and his eyes were filled with amazement.
He thought to himself that the Flowing Sand Clan's first ancestor had such a powerful ability. He could actually use his own golden statue to leave behind opportunities for his descendants.
As long as Ning Fan took away one of the hundreds of thousands of jade slips, the rest of them would all shatter.
Anyone could only ask for a jade slip from the Flowing Sand Clan's first ancestor.
The hundreds of thousands of jade slips were too much for Ning Fan's eyes to take in.
These jade slips could not be checked accurately. Before obtaining them, one could not use spirit sense to sense the strength of the forbidden technique engraved on them.
If one were to use the naked eye to judge the strength of the forbidden technique in the jade slips, one could only judge the strength of the forbidden technique from the difference in the intensity of the golden light emitted from the jade slips.
Ning Fan closed his eyes and released the power of his five-colored medicine soul. He used the power of his medicine soul to sense the strength of the forbidden technique in the jade slips.
The perception ability of the five-colored medicine soul was extremely powerful. It was far beyond the perception of spirit sense.
With the perception of the five-colored medicine soul, Ning Fan could vaguely judge the strength of the forbidden technique in these hundreds of thousands of jade slips.
Among these jade slips, there were Void Fragmentation Realm jade slips, Human Profound Realm and Ghost Profound Realm jade slips and even Crossing Truth jade slips.
Even the strongest forbidden technique did not exceed the destructive power of a Peak Crossing Truth attack …
"A Peak Crossing Truth attack, huh? It seems to be somewhat useful …" Ning Fan fixed his eyes on a golden jade slip. Just as he was about to take it, he suddenly frowned and withdrew his hand that was stretched out halfway.
Ning Fan opened his eyes and scanned through the countless jade slips. Then, his gaze landed on an inconspicuous jade slip at the corner.
The golden light on the jade slip was very weak. Normally, only the jade slips containing Void Fragmentation Realm abilities would emit such a weak light …
Even though the light was weak, this jade slip gave Ning Fan a very strange feeling.
Compared to the other jade slips, there seemed to be something different about this jade slip …
After hesitating for a moment, Ning Fan waved his hand and kept this jade slip which had a weak light. He gave up on the Peak Crossing Truth attack jade slip.
The moment he took this jade slip, the shadows of the other jade slips all dispersed and disappeared.
Everyone could only obtain one jade slip of the forbidden technique from the Flowing Sand Primogenitor. No one could get a second one.
Ning Fan held the jade slip in his hand and spread his spirit sense into it.
Then, his eyes turned strange.
The forbidden technique recorded in this jade slip was much weaker than what he had imagined. It was called 'Great Void Light Prison'. It was a type of heavenly abode sealing ability.
Once this jade slip is activated, it could summon a heavenly abode cage that was formed from the rays of the sun and trap the enemy within it.
This ability could at most trap Origin Returning Great Void Stage cultivators. It could not even trap a First Heavenly Layer Void Fragmentation Realm cultivator.
This jade slip was useless to Ning Fan … Theoretically speaking, that was the case.
Ning Fan carefully scanned through the contents of the jade slip. Suddenly, his eyes turned cold as if he had discovered something.
Without any hesitation, he crushed the jade slip which he had just obtained and activated the forbidden technique in this clan temple.
With his current cultivation base, he naturally did not need to worry about any changes caused by the Great Void Divine Technique.
The reason why he crushed the jade slip and activated the divine technique was just to confirm one thing.
If there was nothing special about this Great Void Light Prison, then he must have sensed it wrongly.
If there was really something special about this Great Void Light Prison, perhaps the fortune hidden in this jade slip was far more valuable than that Peak Crossing Truth attack.
At the moment when Ning Fan crushed the golden jade slip, a faint golden light swept across every corner of the palace.
Ning Fan's eyes turned slightly serious. He took a step forward and disappeared from his original spot. With the help of the golden light, he went into the space of the Great Void Light Prison.
It was a heavenly abode that shone with dazzling golden light. The scorching sun hung high in the sky and golden clouds covered the sky.
As soon as Ning Fan entered this space, he immediately spread his spirit sense crazily, covering the entire heavenly abode.
After sensing for a while, Ning Fan suddenly raised his head and looked straight at the dazzling golden sun.
If he is a mortal, he certainly would not be able to look at the sun directly.
However, with Ning Fan's cultivation base, he naturally had the ability to restrain the sunlight. Why would he be afraid of the sun's glare?
As he looked at the sun, Ning Fan's tightly knitted brows slowly relaxed and he nodded with satisfaction.
Then, he stepped on the golden clouds and soared into the sky, turning into a ray of escaping light and dashed towards the scorching sun!
The closer he got to the sun, the hotter he felt. When he was ten thousand zhang * (3.33m per zhang) away from it, he could no longer go any closer.
If he continues to get closer, he might be burned by the sunlight even with his current cultivation base.
Seeing this, Ning Fan's eyes flashed. He was even more certain that there was a fortune hidden in this place.
How could a mere Origin Returning Forbidden Technique create such a powerful fake sun?
Ning Fan stood ten thousand zhang * (3.33m per zhang) away from the scorching sun. He raised his hand and summoned the Memory Severing Dao Sword, slashing at the golden sun!
The dark golden sword light slashed vertically and the scorching golden sun was directly split into two!
The golden sun collapsed!
At the moment when the golden sun collapsed, the entire heavenly abode collapsed along with it. The broken pieces of space were extremely sharp. Even a First Heavenly Layer Void Fragmentation Realm cultivator would not dare to touch them.
Ning Fan did not dodge or evade despite the countless pieces of space piercing his body.
When those pieces of space reached his body, they all disintegrated on their own. None of them could hurt Ning Fan.
Ning Fan's eyes were fixed on the direction where the golden sun was destroyed!
At a certain moment, an extremely scorching golden line suddenly pierced through the sky and fled towards a certain direction.
Ning Fan's expression suddenly changed. Without saying a word, he stepped on black flames and used the Black Devil Escape Technique, directly appearing in front of the golden line. He directly raised his hand and slammed it down!
Boundless magic power turned into a powerful palm imprint and blasted against the golden line.
The golden line shook violently and its light weakened a little. However, it continued to change its direction and fled towards another direction.
"You can't escape!"
Ning Fan pointed his finger at the sky and forcefully stopped the golden line in mid-air.
Then, he leaped forward and appeared beside the golden line. He then forcefully pointed his finger at it.
"Quickly show your true form!"
As soon as he pointed his finger, the golden line shook violently again and its light completely weakened.
The golden light trembled and turned into a crystal fragment. Within the fragment, there was a faint golden light flowing …
Ning Fan held the crystal fragment in his hand. Just as it touched his hand, his entire arm suddenly burst into flames!
This crystal fragment contained a terrifying amount of True Yang power. Its temperature was too high.
The True Yang power contained in just a fragment was enough to incinerate Ning Fan to death!
Without any hesitation, Ning Fan raised his hand and activated the Yin Fusion Secret Technique to restrain the True Yang power in the fragment.
Gradually, the chaotic True Yang power in the crystal fragment calmed down and it became cold to the touch.
The Yin Fusion Technique was an incomplete secret technique that Luo You taught Ning Fan. It had a special effect on restraining True Yang power.
After suppressing the True Yang power in the fragment, Ning Fan fixed his eyes on it and examined it.
After a long time, he came to a conclusion. This fragment should be one of the fragments of a certain crystal pearl.
It was just a fragment of a pearl but it contained such terrifying True Yang power.
If it's a complete pearl, the True Yang power it contained would probably be much stronger than an Innate Treasure.
The space of the heavenly dwelling had completely collapsed. Ning Fan was engulfed by the golden light and reappeared in the golden hall of the clan temple.
Holding the crystal fragment in his hand, Ning Fan raised his head. Eventually, his eyes fell on the golden statue of the Flowing Sand Ancestor.
In the statue's right hand, there was a pearl that shone like a small sun.
"Perhaps the Quicksand Primogenitor once obtained a powerful orb, and the crystal shard in my hand is one of the shards of that orb …"
"It's a pity that my main cultivation isn't the True Yang Divine Ability. Devouring the True Yang Energy is useless. Otherwise, I could refine this crystal fragment and increase my strength by a lot …"
After keeping the crystal shards, Ning Fan walked out of the clan temple step by step.
Just as he walked out of the clan temple pyramid, a sound transmitting flying sword flew over from afar. It was a sound transmission from Mu Tu.
"The Godly Void Pavilion's Young Pavilion Master has personally brought people to reinforce my Quicksand Star Field. He wants to lead my Quicksand World's cultivators and quell the Quicksand Demon Tide in one fell swoop. Now he is discussing with this old man about the deployment of the war! Fellow Daoist Ning, as the Fifth Alliance Master, you have the obligation to participate in this discussion. Come to the Golden City as soon as possible! "
As soon as he heard Mu Tu's telepathic message, Ning Fan's eyes turned gentle.
The young pavilion master of the Godly Void Pavilion, wasn't she Xiao Qianci …
Had she also come to the Quicksand Star Region?
It seemed like a hundred years had passed since they parted ways in the Rain World.
Perhaps, she had already broken through to the Early Mortal Profound Realm …
"I wonder if she has heard about my news and came for me or if she really just came to quell the chaos caused by the demons in the Eastern Heaven …"
Ning Fan stepped on the blood lotus and sped towards the direction of the Golden City …
