"This person is an old friend of mine. Can you spare his life?" Ning Fan sighed and asked.
Even though his friendship with Xue Kongzi was shallow, the latter had helped him before. He could not just watch him die without doing anything.
Sen Luo frowned. He did not like Ning Fan's request to him again and again.
However, when he thought that he still needed Ning Fan's help to fulfill his wish, he nodded and agreed to Ning Fan's request. With a cold expression, he transmitted his voice to the depths of the cave and gave some instructions.
Very soon, Xue Kongzi's cursing voice gradually stopped.
"I'll make an exception this time and agree to your request. However, there won't be a next time!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Sen Luo clenched his five fingers. The spatial power in his hand flowed and suddenly, a bloody primordial spirit appeared out of nowhere.
It was Xue Kongzi's primordial spirit!
In fact, the physical bodies of the cultivators and demon lords who were sucked into the black hole would be destroyed immediately. Their primordial spirits and demon souls would be sucked into the depths of the cave as nourishment for the resurrection of the Ancient God's Heart.
The primordial spirits of Elder Luo and the other Divine Void Realm experts had already perished while the demon souls of Chi Lian and the other demon lords had also perished.
If Ning Fan's request was a little slower, Xue Kongzi's primordial spirit would also perish.
Ning Fan was weak. It was already a miracle that he could save Xue Kongzi's life. It was impossible for him to save the others.
Sen Luo casually tossed Xue Kongzi's primordial spirit to Ning Fan and said coldly. "Follow me!"
Ning Fan caught Xue Kongzi's primordial spirit and sighed softly.
Even though Xue Kongzi was not dead, his injuries were extremely severe. Even if he had the chance to rebuild his physical body, his cultivation base would probably be greatly damaged.
Ning Fan took out a tuft of one million years old spiritual herb which had the effect of healing primordial spirit injuries. He circulated his magic power and instantly refined the spiritual herb into a medicinal liquid and sprinkled it on Xue Kongzi's primordial spirit.
Then, he used the Black Star Technique to temporarily seal Xue Kongzi's primordial spirit, suppressing all of his injuries and temporarily putting him into a state of unconsciousness. Then, he put him into his soul pouch.
At this moment, Ning Fan still had important matters to attend to.
After completing the agreement with Sen Luo and leaving this place, he would undo the seal on Xue Kongzi and wake him up.
Xue Kongzi had helped him once, and he had saved Xue Kongzi twice. The favor from back then had long been repaid, and he did not owe Xue Kongzi anything.
After keeping the severely damaged Ancient Devil Puppet, Ning Fan stepped on the flowing blood on the ground and followed behind Sen Luo, walking towards the depths of the stone cave.
His Spiritual Sense penetrated the walls of the cave and extended outwards. Gradually, his eyes revealed a slightly shocked expression.
This was the Ancient God's Cave of Time, located in the Quicksand Star Ocean.
But now, the entire Quicksand Star Ocean had been swallowed by a black hole.
Previously, the black hole had spread out from the direction of Quicksand Star Sea. First, it swallowed Quicksand Star Sea, and in an instant, it swept through the entire Quicksand Star Domain, swallowing all the humans and monsters in the battle, and all the living beings in Quicksand Star Domain.
Outside the cave was an endless black hole that was rotating counterclockwise. There were countless cultivation planet fragments floating inside the black hole.
This black hole was one of the natal worlds that Sen Luo Immortal King cultivated. It was very similar to Ning Fan's natal small chiliocosm – the Void Whirlpool Realm. Both of them were worlds used to display spatial abilities.
The difference was that the level of this world was much higher than the Void Whirlpool Realm. Moreover, the power of the Star River Burial Technique, which was performed using this black hole as a medium, was also far beyond that of the Void Whirlpool Technique.
Ning Fan had successfully cultivated the Void Whirlpool Technique, but he could only be considered as having just learned the basics of spatial abilities.
Sen Luo Immortal King's attainments in spatial abilities were the best in the entire Eastern Heaven. Ning Fan was no match for him.
The entire Quicksand Star Ocean was floating in the black hole world. It was a sea of golden starlight.
There were many broken immortal mountains floating on the surface of the sea. They used to be the nests of demons. The poisonous mist had long dissipated in the black hole world.
Under the sea of stars, there was a thick layer of reefs.
The Ancient God's Cave of Time was hidden in a secret place on the reefs.
There was originally a high grade illusory formation outside the cave. Even True Immortals might not be able to discover the existence of this cave. In the past, it was purely by chance that Lu Xin 'er discovered the existence of this cave.
The sea of stars was boundless. There was more than one ancient god's Cave of Time at the bottom of the sea.
Including the cave that Ning Fan was currently in, there were five other such caves!
There was a total of six caves in the sea of stars. However, only this cave had the densest time power. Hence, it could be called the Cave of Time.
There seemed to be some kind of connection between the six caves.
Every time an ancient heartbeat sounded, the six caves would tremble at the same time. The entire reefs and the entire sea of stars were trembling …
"Could it be …" Ning Fan scanned the locations of the six caves with his spirit sense and suddenly had a guess. He could not help but take a deep breath.
At this moment, he seemed to have understood something and retracted his spirit sense.
"You can tell? The entire Quicksand Star Ocean is transformed by the Six Orifices Divine Heart of the Flowing Sand Primogenitor. This person is proficient in the Technique of Time. He has preserved his divine heart by weathering it. Thus, his divinity is not damaged and his heart power is inexhaustible … The six caves that you see are all the heart apertures that this person has opened … The Flowing Sand Primogenitor is a Six Orifices Ancient God. When he was alive, he could seal the flow of time in the entire Quicksand Star Region with just a finger. Despite being an Immortal King, he was able to erase the Dao Attainments of an Immortal Emperor, making the Immortal Emperor fearful! "
Seeing that Ning Fan had seen through the clues of the Quicksand Star Ocean, Sen Luo explained. His eyes were filled with fiery red light.
What he wanted was the Flowing Sand Primogenitor's unparalleled power of time. Time was time and the World Plane was emptiness. If he could control both the power of time and space at the same time, he would have a chance to destroy the Heaven Suppressing Bell!
Ning Fan's eyes turned solemn. Sen Luo's words confirmed his guess.
The entire Quicksand Star Ocean was transformed by the ancient god's heart. The so-called Cave of Time was just a divine aperture that the Flowing Sand Primogenitor had opened on his heart …
The Cave of Time had three levels in total.
In the first level, there was a sea of blood. The blood of all living beings in the entire Quicksand Star Region was in this place!
Countless primordial spirits, medicine souls, demon cores, magic treasures and storage pouches were floating in the sea of blood. All of them were being devoured by the sea of blood bit by bit.
Mu Tu was setting up a formation above the sea of blood. The grade of the grand formation that he set up was so high that Ning Fan could not see through it.
Other than Ning Fan, the little demoness and Xue Kongzi, all the members of the Quicksand Tribe, the cultivators of the Alliance and the demon tide army were all dead …
Sen Luo was a ruthless person. If it wasn't because Ning Fan was useful to him, he would not spare Xue Kongzi, let alone Ning Fan and the little demoness. He would kill all the enemies in front of him without showing any mercy!
As soon as he saw Sen Luo, Mu Tu's expression immediately changed. He hurriedly went forward to greet him.
When he saw that Ning Fan still had some treasures, Mu Tu was slightly surprised. However, when he saw Ning Fan following closely behind Sen Luo, he tactfully did not ask any questions.
"Greetings, Master!"
"Mm. How long will it take for you to finish setting up the Heart Offering Formation? " Sen Luo's eyes flashed with cold light. He stared at Mu Tu coldly as if he would kill Mu Tu without any hesitation if the formation took longer than he expected.
As soon as he saw Sen Luo's gaze, Mu Tu was greatly shocked.
"Two hours! In another two hours, I will certainly finish setting up the grand formation! "
"Mm. Very good. Quickly set up the formation! "
As if he was very satisfied with Mu Tu's answer, Sen Luo did not say anything else. He brought Ning Fan along and continued flying towards the second level of the Cave of Time.
Seeing that Sen Luo did not punish him, Mu Tu heaved a long sigh of relief. His expression was as terrified as one could imagine. It was no longer as solemn and dignified as when he was in the Quicksand Clan.
Ning Fan's gaze swept past Mu Tu and then looked at Sen Luo. His brows were slightly knitted together.
In his senses, Mu Tu was Sen Luo. However, there were some similarities between them …
"He's my second primordial spirit." Sen Luo only gave a brief explanation and kept his mouth shut.
Ning Fan's expression froze. He was surprised once again.
It was hard to imagine that Mu Tu, who was Sen Luo's second primordial spirit, would be afraid of Sen Luo like a tiger.
One could imagine just how heartless and cold-blooded Sen Luo was. He did not even have any feelings for the second primordial spirit that he had cultivated.
This person was ruthless to others but he was even more ruthless to himself …
The second level of the Cave of Time was a boundless golden lake.
The lake was filled with extremely dense time power. Hundreds of golden lotuses were growing on it.
The moment Ning Fan saw the lotuses, his eyes widened in shock!
"Ancient God Heart Lotus!"
He had seen this item before in an ancient book.
He did not know where this item grew. Currently, it no longer existed in the Four Heavens and Nine Worlds.
The only thing he knew was that this item had an indefinite appearance and the name of the Ancient God Heart Lotus. Besides that, it also had the effect of greatly increasing a cultivator's magic power!
The only way to identify this lotus was to observe the unique Dao Marks on it.
There was a strict requirement for plucking this lotus. It was said that only those who were proficient in the Three Flowers Converged Prominence Technique of the ancient gods could pluck this lotus!
If the first flower was also cultivated to the Grand Perfection Stage, the cultivator would not be qualified to pluck this lotus. Once the cultivator touches this lotus, the lotus would definitely wither!
There were hundreds of Ancient God Heart Lotuses in this place. Among them, more than ten of them had already withered, as if they had been plucked by someone …
According to Ning Fan's estimation, if he could devour all of the Ancient God Heart Lotuses in this place, his magic power would receive an extremely terrifying increase!
"You want this lotus again?" Sen Luo frowned. He looked displeased.
He really did not like people who did not know when to stop or when to back off.
Seeing Sen Luo's displeasure, Ning Fan sighed slightly and shook his head. "Even though this lotus is good, it is not something that I must obtain. I will not ask for things that I shouldn't."
Ning Fan did not know whether Sen Luo cared about these Ancient God Heart Lotuses or not. He did not want to anger Sen Luo for some inanimate objects and delay the little demoness's detoxification.
Seeing that Ning Fan was very sensible, Sen Luo's expression softened and he sneered. "This lotus is useless to me, but it is quite useful to you. It can greatly increase your magic power. Unfortunately, you can't take this lotus away! If it isn't a cultivator who has cultivated the First Flower to the Grand Perfection Stage of the Three Flowers Converged Prominence, don't even think about taking this lotus away. Touching it will cause the lotus to wither; swallowing it will cause a backlash. I don't want to cultivate the boring Three Flowers Converged Prominence Technique and I have no interest in this lotus. Mu Tu and the three gods have not cultivated the First Flower to the Grand Perfection Stage of the Three Flowers Converged Prominence. Those withered lotuses were caused by them carelessly touching it. I want this lotus but I can't take it! The weak can't get what they want! "
"In other words, these Ancient God Heart Lotuses are useless to Senior? If I can take them away, will Senior have any objections? "Ning Fan's eyes flashed and asked.
"If you can take them away, it will be considered as your fortune. Anyway, you don't have to ask me to help you! With my cultivation base, even if I don't cultivate the Three Flowers Technique, I can still pluck this lotus forcefully. However, I don't want to help you! "
"I don't need Senior's help. As long as Senior doesn't blame me for taking the lotus, it's fine. Ancient God Dao, Three Flowers Converged Prominence! Human Lotus, appear! "
As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Fan's expression turned serious. He suddenly stomped on the ground and a lead-colored lotus bloomed on the ground. Suddenly, it turned into millions of lead-colored lotus shadows that circled around his body.
Then, Ning Fan turned into a few shadows and flew towards the surface of the golden lake. He moved at lightning speed and plucked all the Ancient God Heart Lotuses.
A total of 466 Ancient God Heart Lotuses belonged to him!
"The Grand Perfection Stage of the First Flower? It's impossible to cultivate the Grand Perfection Stage of the First Flower without billions of Dao Crystals. You are just an Early Ghost Profound Realm cultivator but you actually managed to cultivate this technique to the Grand Perfection Stage of the First Flower. It's really rare. "
Senluo's expression was still cold, but he gave a rare compliment.
His temperament was cold and indifferent. He would never praise others. However, it was rare for him to praise Ning Fan.
It was really because the Three Flower Technique burned too much money. Even a large power like the Godly Void Pavilion would not be rich enough to burn money to cultivate this kind of abnormal ability.
Cultivating the first flower required more than a trillion Dao crystals.
Cultivating the second flower required at least a hundred trillion Dao crystals.
No one knew how much it would cost or how many rare spiritual herbs it would take to cultivate the third flower.
The first flower was complete, and no one below the True Immortal Connate would be defeated.
The second flower was complete, and he was invincible throughout the ages.
The consummation of the third flower … would allow him to be invincible in the second step realm. As for the specific effect, no one had ever tried it.
For a force like the Godly Void Pavilion, there was no way they could come up with enough resources and money to produce a cultivator at the peak of the Three Flower Realm.
If one was only at the peak of the Two Flower Realm or the One Flower Realm, then it would be meaningless to cultivate this technique. It would not be of any use in battles over the ages.
After keeping all of the Heart Lotuses, Ning Fan made a leap and returned to the lakeside. He cupped his fists slightly at Sen Luo as a form of gratitude for his previous compliments.
He shifted his gaze to the side and looked at the golden lake. A thought flashed through his mind.
This golden lake was extremely special. It was like a cultivator's dantian, able to store and recover magic power.
"This is the 'Heart Origin' that can only be developed by a Three Apertures Ancient God. Once the Heart Origin is developed, the Ancient God's magic power can be doubled. At the same time, the recovery speed of the magic power of the Heart Origin is heaven-defying …"
Sen Luo remained silent for a moment. No one knew what he was thinking about. All of a sudden, his blood-red eyes flashed. He raised his hand and pointed a finger at Ning Fan.
Ning Fan was listening attentively to Sen Luo's explanation. When he saw Sen Luo's attack all of a sudden, his eyes turned cold and he hurriedly retreated. At the same time, he wanted to crush the jade slip in his sleeve to counterattack.
However, he immediately sensed that Sen Luo's finger didn't have any killing intent. Instead, it contained strands of blood-colored starlight. Sen Luo was trying to heal him with the Star Technique.
As his thoughts raced, Ning Fan no longer retreated nor did he resist. Instead, he allowed the scarlet light to enter his body.
The moment the finger light entered Ning Fan's body, a tearing pain immediately swept through his entire body. However, despite the pain, his internal injuries were recovering at an astonishing speed.
As the blood-colored starlight enveloped his body, Ning Fan seemed to have turned into a bloody man.
Ten breaths later, all the injuries left by the Star River Burial Technique were healed. He exhaled a mouthful of turbid qi. His limbs and bones were filled with inexhaustible strength.
The blood-red starlight not only healed Ning Fan's injuries but also improved the strength of his physical body by a tiny bit!
"Thank you, Senior, for helping me heal my injuries." Ning Fan cupped his fists to express his gratitude. However, his expression became more vigilant.
He did not believe that Sen Luo would be so kind as to spend so much effort to heal his injuries.
With Sen Luo's cold and detached personality, he would not do meaningless things.
"You should know that I won't help you without a purpose. I have already helped you heal your injuries. Besides, I can also help you refine all the Ancient God Heart Lotuses within two hours … If you don't have my help, you will need to spend a lot of time to refine these Heart Lotuses. Moreover, with your current cultivation base, you won't be able to completely absorb the medicinal power of these Heart Lotuses. "
"Since I have helped you once, you also need to help me once more. This isn't a discussion but an order. You don't have a choice! "
Sen Luo's aura was extremely stern. He did not allow Ning Fan to reject his request.
Ning Fan frowned. Even though he did not know how he could help to become Sen Luo's Ancient God Vessel, he knew that it would be very dangerous.
If it wasn't for the little demoness, Ning Fan would definitely not agree to Sen Luo's request.
Today, Sen Luo actually made another request to Ning Fan. Frankly speaking, Ning Fan did not want to agree at all.
However, given the current situation, he seemed to have no other choice. He could either agree or fall out with Sen Luo.
Once they fall out, Ning Fan had the confidence to protect himself, but he did not have the confidence to cure the void poison of the little demoness …
"Senior, why don't you tell me what you need my help with?" Ning Fan said after pondering for a moment.
Sen Luo's expression became frighteningly cold when he saw Ning Fan dared to refuse his request. After a long while, he asked in a displeased tone.
"Junior, do you know what 'fireworks' are?"
"Fireworks?" Ning Fan was stunned. He was preparing himself to deal with Sen Luo's provocation.
Unexpectedly, the moment Sen Luo opened his mouth, he actually asked a question that was completely unrelated to the current situation.
"You don't know!" Sen Luo's killing intent suddenly gushed out like a tidal wave, as if he would kill Ning Fan if he said that he did not know.
"I know … Fireworks are a kind of item made by mortals. Once it is set off, it will be very beautiful. Mortals often set off fireworks during festivals and festivals. If there is a celebration, they will also set off fireworks …" Ning Fan did not understand what Sen Luo meant, but he still answered him.
"So it's an item made by mortals … No wonder I didn't get any of these things when I massacred the cultivation clans of 107 star regions in the past …"
Sen Luo sighed in a serious manner. He was born as a cultivator. He was arrogant and looked down on mortals, heavenly geniuses who were at the same level as him, the famous seniors and all dogmas and rules … Why would he care about what fireworks were?
Hearing Sen Luo's words, Ning Fan's expression changed. He thought that Sen Luo wouldn't be crazy enough to massacre the cultivation clans of 107 star regions just to find a firework, right?!
"She once said that she likes fireworks, especially those with lotus patterns … She said that she likes those ordinary things. Only by being ordinary can one be beautiful forever …"
Sen Luo's eyes were filled with reminiscence. After a long time, he regained his senses and said to Ning Fan sternly.
"Since you know what fireworks are, I'll give you a task. After you become my Ancient God's vessel, I'll arrange a safe place for you and give you enough time to make things like fireworks! Mm, fireworks with lotus patterns … A celebration? My return to the Divine Void Realm is indeed a celebration for the cultivators of the Divine Void Realm. So, I will need a large number of fireworks to liven things up! "
Sen Luo did not want to talk nonsense with Ning Fan anymore. His expression turned cold and he ordered Ning Fan. "Sit down with your legs crossed and consume the Ancient God Heart Lotus. I will help you quickly make this lotus flower! Remember to cooperate with me and don't waste my time! "
"Mm."
Ning Fan sat on the ground with his legs crossed and consumed an Ancient God Heart Lotus. While maintaining full vigilance, he quickly refined the Ancient God Heart Lotus with the help of Sen Luo Immortal King.
Ning Fan still found it hard to believe Sen Luo's request.
The second favor Sen Luo wanted him to do was to make fireworks …
Ning Fan had entered the Dao from the mortal world. Naturally, he knew what fireworks were. With his abilities, making fireworks was a piece of cake.
However, he did not understand why a cold-blooded and heartless person like Sen Luo wanted a large number of fireworks with lotus patterns …
As for the specific reason, he would not ask Sen Luo about it.
Anyway, this favor was very simple. Ning Fan did not mind doing Sen Luo a favor in exchange for his help in refining the Ancient God Heart Lotus.
If Ning Fan refined the Heart Lotus with his current Ghost Profound Realm cultivation base, he would waste at least seventy percent of the medicinal power, not to mention how much time he would have to spend.
Having Sen Luo's help was naturally great.
Two hours passed slowly. With Sen Luo's help, Ning Fan had refined all 466 Ancient God Heart Lotuses. His cultivation base had risen to the peak of Early Ghost Profound Realm!
He only needed a short period of seclusion and he would be able to break through to Mid Ghost Profound Realm!
