Luo Shi's face was filled with nostalgia. He knelt for a long time without getting up.
While Luo Shi was kneeling on the ground, Ning Fan was secretly observing the sleeping Battle King.
A trace of green light flashed in his eyes. With his eyesight that was as one with heaven, he could vaguely see the chaotic Dao of War on the Battle King's body.
It was because of the existence of these chaotic Dao of War that the Battle King could not wake up …
These Dao of War were the result of the power of the Fourth Transformation Battle Art in the Battle King's body being forcefully dispersed.
It was Sen Luo who caused the Battle King to fall unconscious.
Sen Luo's attack was merciful. Otherwise, the Battle King would not have just fallen into a deep sleep. Instead, he would have died!
"If I can get rid of these Dao of War, the Battle King will be able to wake up. However, in order to get rid of these Dao of War, I need the help of a cultivator who has also cultivated the Fourth Transformation Battle Art … That's why the Luo Clan needs a cultivator who has cultivated the Fourth Transformation. That's also the reason why they value me so much … "
Ning Fan withdrew his gaze. He was already one hundred percent sure that there was no conspiracy behind saving the Battle King.
As for Luo Shi, his expression turned resolute as he stood up.
With a thought, he immediately brought Ning Fan to the side of the first of the nine black cauldrons.
There were a total of 26 drops of blood-red Dao Marrow in the first cauldron.
"This is a Low Grade Dao Marrow. If you consume a few drops, your physical injuries will be completely healed within a day. However, while the Low Grade Dao Marrow is good for healing injuries, its effect is only considered ordinary if you want to use it to improve the realm of your physical body … "
While Luo Shi was explaining, he took out a white jade bottle and kept all the 26 drops of Low Grade Dao Marrow in the first cauldron.
Then, he flew to the second cauldron and kept all the 21 drops of Low Grade Dao Marrow in it.
Then, he passed the white jade bottle to Ning Fan.
Feeling the vast energy inside the bottle, Ning Fan's eyes flashed with light.
Luo Shi's attitude towards the Low Grade Dao Marrow might seem indifferent, but it was because his cultivation realm was high and his vision was also high.
In fact, this Low Grade Dao Marrow was definitely a supreme treasure to a First Level Life Immortal Realm body cultivator.
In the Eastern Heaven Immortal World, the price of a drop of low-grade dao essence was about a billion dao gems. It was not inferior to the Life Immortal Dao Fruit, and it was often in a situation where there was a price but no supply.
Even though Ning Fan's injuries were extremely severe, if he consumes a few drops of Low Grade Dao Marrow, his injuries would be fully healed within a short period of time!
With a thought from Luo Shi, the two of them appeared before the third and fourth cauldrons.
Luo Shifu took out a green jade bottle and stored the Dao essence in the two cauldrons.
In these two cauldrons, there were a total of 19 drops of mid-grade Dao marrow!
"The healing effect of a mid-grade Dao marrow is weak, but it's not weak when used to raise the realm of the physical body."
After passing the green jade bottle to Ning Fan, Luo Shi led Ning Fan to retrieve the Dao Essence from the fifth and sixth cauldrons.
This was a high-grade dao marrow, and there were only nine drops in total.
"For body cultivators, the value of a drop of high-grade Dao Marrow is comparable to ten Void Abandoning Dao Fruits …"
Luo Shi only gave a brief explanation. Then, he passed the purple jade bottle that contained nine drops of High Grade Dao Essence to Ning Fan.
In the seventh and eighth cauldrons, there were a total of three drops of supreme-grade dao essence.
In the ninth cauldron, there was a fingernail-sized blood-red gem …
Luo Shi pointed at the last three cauldrons and said to Ning Fan.
"The energy contained in the supreme-grade dao marrow and that marrow crystal far exceeds your cultivation realm. With your current strength, there's no benefit for you to consume them. Instead, it will bring you harm instead. Besides, these items still need to be kept to treat the Battle King … Therefore, I can't give them to you. I hope you can understand."
"I understand."
Ning Fan kept the three pure bottles. He was already extremely satisfied. As for the last spiritual item, he did not have any intention to covet it.
As for the last spiritual items, he would need at least a cultivation realm above the Void Abandoning Realm to refine them …
Today's harvest was enough for him to digest for a long time.
Dao marrow, Dao fruit, pills, Dao crystal … The Luo Clan had given him too many things!
Luo Shi's Dao sense moved. He brought Ning Fan out of the Dao Marrow Secret Realm and directly appeared outside Ning Fan's cave dwelling.
"Hehe. Little Friend, please consume some low-grade dao marrow and go into seclusion to heal your injuries. I will stand guard outside the pass for little friend. After you've recovered, I'll bring you to another place … "
Luo Shi's expression suddenly changed halfway through his words. He patted his storage pouch and took out a purple jade sound tablet.
After making a hand seal towards the sound tablet and listening to the voice transmission, Luo Shi's expression immediately turned solemn and apologetically said to Ning Fan.
"I'm sorry. The Godly Void Pavilion is urging me to return as soon as possible. The restoration of the Heaven Suppressing Bell is of great importance. I'm afraid I can't bring you to that place. This is Little Friend's Tomb Keeper Token. It is enough to prove your identity. If you have the time, you can go to Ghost Weapon Sect and look for Ghost Weapon Old Ancestor to make the Star Defying Devil Armor … This old man has already informed Ghost Weapon Old Ancestor before. He owes me a favor and is willing to make a devil armor for you. "
Luo Shi took out the token and a storage pouch and passed them to Ning Fan.
After briefly explaining to Ning Fan, he hurriedly sent out his spirit sense to the five Void Abandoning Realm experts of the Luo Clan and left the Broken Halberd Peak without a trace.
After Luo Shi left, Ning Fan scanned the storage pouch with his spirit sense. After pondering for a moment, he kept the pouch.
This storage pouch contained all the fragments of the Star Defying Boulder that he had destroyed that day.
Even though the Star Defying Boulder was broken, it could still be smelted and used to forge the Star Defying Devil Armor.
Luo Shi told Ning Fan that there was only one person who knew how to forge the Star Defying Devil Armor in the entire Eastern Sea Star Region. He was the sect master of the Ghost Weapon Sect, an eighth grade sect in the Eastern Sea. People called him the old ancestor of the Ghost Weapon Sect and he had an Early Void Abandoning Realm cultivation base.
The Ghost Weapon Sect was a treasure refinement sect and the old ancestor of the Ghost Weapon Sect was a senior figure in the world of treasure refinement.
His treasure refinement technique was superb. Even some Thought Shattering Old Monsters in the Eastern Heaven Immortal World would occasionally visit him and ask him to forge their magic treasures and divine weapons.
Unfortunately, the old ancestor of the Ghost Weapon Sect had an eccentric personality. No matter how high the cultivation base of the visitor was, he would not forge a magic treasure for the visitor as long as he disliked the visitor.
Because of his personality, he had offended many Thought Shattering Old Monsters. However, because he had a powerful immortal king as his backer, no one dared to do anything to him even if they were dissatisfied with him …
The old ancestor of the Ghost Weapon Sect once owed Luo Shi a favor. Three days ago, Luo Shi sent a message to him, hoping that he could forge a Star Defying Devil Armor for him. He had already agreed …
Luo Shi's original intention was to bring Ning Fan to the Ghost Weapon Sect personally. Unfortunately, something came up and he had no choice but to leave first.
"Forging the Star Defying Devil Armor, huh …" Ning Fan's eyes flickered.
If he could forge a Star Defying Devil Armor, he would not mind going to the Ghost Weapon Sect alone.
However, before that, he still had other things to attend to.
Luo Xiao was in seclusion, trying to break through to the Late Ghost Profound Realm with a drop of diluted Dao Marrow.
Wang Meng was also in seclusion, using his years of accumulation to heal his injuries.
Ning Fan also needed to go into seclusion. Not only did he need to heal his injuries, but he also needed to borrow countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures to improve his cultivation base.
His magic power cultivation base and his ancient devil cultivation base!
As soon as he returned to his cave residence, Ning Fan immediately went into the Profound Yin World and consumed a drop of Low Grade Dao Marrow.
Ning Fan spent half a day refining that drop of Low Grade Dao Marrow.
After half a day, the severe injuries on his body had almost healed by half!
"What a shocking healing effect!"
Ning Fan's eyes lit up. He consumed another drop of Dao Marrow and rapidly refined it. Half a day later, all of his injuries were completely healed.
The healing effect of the Low Grade Dao Marrow was extremely good. Besides, after refining two drops of Dao Marrow, Ning Fan could clearly feel that his ancient devil cultivation base that had just broken through to the next level had improved once again …
After pondering for a moment, he seemed to have made up his mind. He placed the white jade bottle in front of him and continuously extracted drops of Low Grade Dao Marrow from it and began to refine them.
One day, two days, three days …
On the twenty-fourth day, Ning Fan opened his eyes. He had already refined all 47 drops of Low Grade Dao Marrow!
With the power of the 47 drops of Low Grade Dao Marrow, his ancient devil cultivation base had actually advanced by more than one-third towards the Sixth Heavenly Layer of the Ruling Star Realm …
"This is just a Low Grade Dao Marrow. If it's a Mid Grade Dao Marrow …"
Ning Fan's eyes flashed slightly. He took out another green jade bottle.
There were a total of 19 drops of Mid Grade Dao Marrow in this green jade bottle.
Ning Fan bent his palm and summoned a drop of Mid Grade Dao Marrow. He swallowed it and refined it bit by bit.
It took him ten days to refine a single drop of Mid Grade Dao Marrow.
However, the energy contained in this drop of Mid Grade Dao Marrow was more than ten times that of a Low Grade Dao Marrow.
Four months later, Ning Fan refined the twelfth drop of Mid Grade Dao Marrow. On this day, his ancient devil cultivation base broke through to the Sixth Heavenly Layer of the Ruling Star Realm!
Another two and a half months passed. Ning Fan had already consumed the remaining 7 drops of Mid Grade Dao Marrow.
Currently, his ancient devil cultivation base had already advanced one tenth towards the Seventh Heavenly Layer of the Ruling Star Realm …
At this moment, there were still 9 drops of High Grade Dao Marrow in Ning Fan's hands. They were placed inside the purple jade bottle.
After stabilizing his ancient devil cultivation base, Ning Fan immediately began to refine the High Grade Dao Marrow.
Refining the first drop of High Grade Dao Marrow directly took Ning Fan one month. Moreover, this speed was only achieved by relying on the Profound Yin World's amplification …
Three months later, Ning Fan refined the third drop of High Grade Dao Marrow. His ancient devil cultivation base naturally broke through to the Eighth Heavenly Layer of the Ruling Star Realm.
Another six months passed. Ning Fan had completely refined all the High Grade Dao Marrow. His ancient devil cultivation base had already reached the peak of the Ruling Star Realm!
On the ground of the Profound Yin World stood a one hundred thousand zhang * (3.33m per zhang) tall devil god. His body was constantly emitting extremely terrifying aura force.
This was an ancient devil whose cultivation base had reached the peak of the Ruling Star Realm. With just the strength of his physical body, he could rival an Early True Crossing Realm old monster!
"After the Ruling Star Realm, it would be the Heavenly Devil! The Heavenly Devil is an existence that is equivalent to the True Crossing Realm! I'm still a distance away from becoming a Heavenly Devil … "
As soon as he finished speaking, the giant ancient devil's eyes flickered and he turned back into his white robes. He was none other than Ning Fan.
He had already consumed all the Dao Marrow. As for his physical body, he had also cultivated to the peak of the Ruling Star Realm.
The current strength of his physical body was enough to withstand all magic treasures and abilities below the True Crossing Realm.
With his dual cultivation of magic and body, Ning Fan could definitely be considered as a strong expert within the Early True Crossing Realm!
"This is just the improvement of my ancient devil cultivation base. After that, it's my magic power!"
Ning Fan adjusted his breathing in the Profound Yin World for a few days. Then, he began to refine pills one after another.
He was a Three Apertures Ancient God. Consuming a pill was equivalent to others consuming eight pills.
After six months, Ning Fan had refined a total of 122 Nine Transformations Lead Pills. However, his cultivation base only advanced by one-fifth from the Late Ghost Profound Realm.
Three months later, Ning Fan had refined all the Silver Pills and Gold Pills in his hands. However, there was still a huge gap between him and the Late Ghost Profound Realm.
"The effect of these pills is a little lacking …"
Ning Fan was slightly disappointed. After adjusting his breathing, he began to refine the Life Immortal Dao Fruits.
There were a total of 74 Life Immortal Dao Fruits. Among them, the Human Dao Fruits were slightly worse, with 62 of them. The Ghost Dao Fruits were slightly better, with 12 of them.
A year later, Ning Fan had refined all the Dao Fruits. However, he was still a little bit away from the Late Ghost Profound Realm.
Another year passed. Ning Fan had refined all the Truth Purification Dao Fruits including the ones he had obtained previously.
Currently, he had broken through the Late Ghost Profound Realm and was one-sixth closer to the Peak Ghost Profound Realm.
Currently, there were only four Void Shedding Dao Fruits left in his storage pouch.
"With my Three Apertures Ancient God Body, I can only refine these Dao Fruits to this extent. If it's someone else, I'm afraid the effect would be even worse … However, if I can refine these four Void Shedding Dao Fruits, it won't be difficult for me to break through to the Peak Ghost Profound Realm in one go!"
Ning Fan's eyes were resolute. He raised his hand to grab the first Void Shedding Dao Fruit and began to refine it. It took him a year to refine it.
After refining the first fruit, Ning Fan began to refine the second one, the third one, the fourth one …
At the moment when all the Void Shedding Dao Fruits were refined, an extremely powerful magical force spread out from Ning Fan's body. It turned into a huge wind dragon and soared to the sky.
At this moment, the bottleneck of the Peak Ghost Profound Realm was broken through!
"Finally, I've reached the Peak Ghost Profound Realm!"
Ning Fan suddenly stood up. His aura soared to the sky. This aura was even stronger than most of the Early Crossing Truth cultivators!
Although his cultivation realm was at the Peak Ghost Profound Realm, the total amount of magical force in his body had almost reached the peak of the Early Crossing Truth Realm!
At this moment, Ning Fan's combat strength was almost comparable to an Intermediate Crossing Truth cultivator under the dual cultivation of Body Immortal Dual Cultivation. And this was without using his trump card!
After completely stabilizing his cultivation base, Ning Fan left the Profound Yin World in a flash.
It had been eight years since he had entered the Profound Yin World!
For second-step cultivators, eight years was too short. It was just a short period of seclusion.
However, during these eight years, Ning Fan's cultivation base had skyrocketed thanks to the countless fortuitous encounters of the Luo Clan!
His magic power had advanced by two levels, reaching the peak of the Spirit Xuan realm!
The Ancient Devil's cultivation had advanced four levels, reaching the peak of the Eighth Firmament of Si Chen!
"In another two years, the Ancient Tomb Competition will begin. I haven't obtained the inheritance of Ancient Chaos, the Star Defying Devil Armor, and the first transformation of the War God Art …"
Ning Fan's face was filled with shame. The Luo Clan had treated him so well and helped him improve his cultivation base greatly. If he didn't cultivate the War God Art well, how could he be worthy of their generous gifts …
Ning Fan took out the battle crystals that were piled up like a mountain and sat cross-legged in the cave. His mind gradually merged with the battle intent of Broken Halberd Mountain.
Three months later, the number of Natal Battle Fires in his body had increased to nine.
It was only now that he had truly mastered the first transformation of the battle art.
However, if he wants to master the second transformation, the number of Natal Battle Fires would at least reach ninety-nine …
Moreover, he had once again reached the limit of Natal Battle Crystals during this cultivation. He needed a battle to achieve a breakthrough.
Now that he was already a tomb keeper, he could go to the fourth to sixth floors of the Divine Tomb at any time if he wanted to fight. He could even enter the last three floors to search for the inheritance of Ancient Chaos!
Along the way, he could also go to the Ghost Weapon Sect and hand over the fragment of the Immemorial Star Defying Devil Armor to the old ancestor of the Ghost Weapon Sect so that he could refine the Star Defying Devil Armor …
With this plan, Ning Fan removed the formation and walked out of the cave.
As soon as he walked out of the cave, he saw Wang Meng standing outside with a face full of smiles.
"Wang Meng greets Master! Master has been in seclusion for eight years. During these eight years, you must have reached the limit of Natal Battle Crystals again. Do you need me to accompany you in battle to help you break through the bottleneck?! "
When he said this, Wang Meng's face was filled with a respectful smile. However, Ning Fan could still see a hint of complacency from the corner of his eyes …
"Oh? Interesting. That day, you were severely injured by me but you still have the courage to fight me? "Ning Fan looked at Wang Meng meaningfully. Green light flickered in his eyes.
With his eyesight that was as good as the Union of Heaven and Man, Wang Meng was almost naked in front of him without any secrets.
After eight years, this Wang Meng had actually stepped into the Crossing Truth realm in a low-key manner! Moreover, the number of War Flames in his body had already reached 99!
Not only did his cultivation base increase tremendously, but he had also cultivated to the Second Transformation of the War God …
However, the current Wang Meng was deliberately hiding the number of War Flames in his body and suppressing the qi of his cultivation base, afraid that Ning Fan would see through his intentions.
Although his face was smiling, his heart was eager to have a battle with Ning Fan.
During these eight years, he had lived an extremely happy life.
No one would have thought that after Wang Meng was brutally beaten by Ning Fan, he seemed to have gained a great understanding of the word 'fight'. He even had his own understanding of the word 'fight'.
Battle. What is battle? Battle is a fight! In a fight, one must not only know how to hit others but also know how to be beaten.
Knowing how to be beaten would reduce injuries! Knowing how to be beaten would save one's life!
This was all the insights that Wang Meng had gained after being beaten up by Ning Fans one on one.
What a painful insight …
However, this insight opened up a new path and gave him a new interpretation of the word 'battle'.
Battle, not only must one know how to attack, one must also know how to defend!
With this insight, Wang Meng actually broke through the bottleneck of the Second Transformation of the War God and successfully cultivated it!
Borrowing this momentum, he once again stepped onto the True Bridge. For the fourth time in his life, he stepped onto the True Bridge and crossed it!
The word 'crossing' referred to stepping on the True Bridge and crossing the long river of the Great Dao.
Any cultivator would only have nine chances to fail on the True Bridge in their life, hence the name 'Nine Crossing True Bridges'.
If a peak Ghost Profound cultivator failed to break through the True Bridge nine times in a row, he would never have another chance to break through the True Bridge in his life.
Every time a True Immortal of the True Bridge broke through a small realm, he would have to cross the True Bridge again.
If an early True Crossing Realm cultivator failed eight times on the True Bridge before breaking through to the True Crossing Realm, he would only have one chance to fail.
If he succeeded, he would break through to the intermediate True Crossing Realm. If he failed, he would be stuck at his current realm forever …
This was the cruelty of the True Crossing Realm. Everyone only had nine chances to fail and they must break through to the Shedding Void Realm before failing all nine times.
Unfortunately, the difficulty of crossing the True Bridge was extremely high. Only one out of a hundred people would succeed.
Therefore, there were only a few True Immortals who succeeded in crossing the True Crossing Realm. There were many cultivators who were stuck at the True Crossing Realm for their entire life.
Let's not talk about Wang Meng anymore.
Wang Meng's innate talent was only average. He had been relying on the Eight Extremities Combat Physique to cultivate until now.
The first time he suffered a setback was in front of Ning Fan. He lost all his face and was beaten mercilessly.
It was this beating that enlightened Wang Meng.
He who failed to cross the True Crossing Realm four times did not fail on his fifth attempt. Instead, he succeeded and stepped into the True Crossing Realm!
Breaking through to the Second Transformation of his Battle Art and breaking through to the True Crossing Realm was a blessing in disguise. Naturally, he was extremely happy. These eight years were the best eight years of his life.
The only thing that made him slightly unhappy was the Restrictive Spell in his Sea of Consciousness.
It wasn't easy for him to become a True Immortal old monster and cultivate the Second Transformation of his Battle Art. He was supposed to be famous in a region, but he couldn't get rid of his identity as Ning Fan's servant.
Ever since he succeeded in crossing the True Crossing Realm, Wang Meng had been keeping a low profile. He kept the matter of his breakthrough a secret.
Every day, he would wait outside of Ning Fan's cave, waiting for Ning Fan to come out of seclusion, hoping to have a battle with him.
"With my current early True Crossing Realm cultivation base and the Second Transformation of the War God, my strength can be considered as above average in the entire Early True Crossing Realm. As long as Ning Fan doesn't use that punch that day, he might not be able to defeat me! During these eight years, I have thought about it repeatedly. The punch that day might just be a coincidence. I'm afraid that I won't be able to use it a second time. If that's the case, I might not lose to him in a battle! "
"If we fight again, I will naturally make an agreement with him. If I win, he must remove the Restrictive Spell in my Sea of Consciousness and return my freedom."
"He doesn't know that I have already broken through to the Second Transformation of the True Crossing Realm. Due to his arrogance, there's a high chance that he will agree to my condition."
"If I win him, I can remove the Restrictive Spell in one go. From then on, I will be like a fish in the sea, and walk proudly in the Eastern Heaven! If I lose to him, hehe … perhaps, I will be able to receive another beating and comprehend something. Perhaps, my strength will improve tremendously! "
Wang Meng's mind was racing, but his face was still full of smiles.
Ning Fan was a wise man. Although he didn't know the specific thoughts of Wang Meng, he could vaguely guess that Wang Meng was disloyal because his cultivation base had improved tremendously.
"If master needs someone to accompany you in the battle, I am willing to recommend myself! However, I want to make a bet with master. If I win, master must remove the Restrictive Spell on me. Of course, my cultivation base is low. How could I be a match for master? I will most likely lose this bet. "
Wang Meng's every word was spoken in a respectful tone.
Occasionally, his eyes would purposely reveal a hint of admiration. Those who didn't know would think that he was very respectful towards his master.
"A bet? I don't have any opinion on it. But if you lose, what else can you give me?"
Ning Fan smiled faintly and looked at Wang Meng. No matter how one looked at it, that smile was somewhat horrifying.
"Uh … what if I lose?" Wang Meng was startled. He had never thought of this question before.
"If you lose, I want one of your hands! Do you dare to fight?! "Ning Fan's expression suddenly became stern.
Although Wang Meng was picked up from the streets, but since he had a disloyal heart, he must be punished!
