That night, five Profound Ghost cultivators mysteriously perished in the Chen Clan. At the same time, the newly promoted Chen Clan Elder, Chen Lingfeng, went missing.
This matter stirred up great waves on Planet Wu Lan. The Chen Family requested the Four Pavilions of Divine Void to investigate this matter. However, this request was ignored by the Four Pavilions of Divine Void Pavilions.
The Chen Family and the Lei Family were like flowers of the past. With the deaths of Chen Xuan and Lei Jinshi, they were destined to decline.
No one knew that the murderer was Ning Fan.
No one knew that Chen Lingfeng had already been plucked and locked up in the Profound Yin World's Repentance Palace.
In the vast starry sky, Ning Fan held the star compass of the Three Thousand Lightning Realms in his hand and flew at full speed, leaving the Eastern Sea Star Region.
His plan was to go to the Three Thousand Thunder Realm to find a person … That person was the only disciple of Lightning Emperor Tai Su who was still alive. He had once followed Lightning Emperor and appeared in Eastern Heaven Immortal World …
"Thunderfall World Lord … Xu Yanzong …"
Ning Fan murmured to himself as he sped along the way.
He had no idea how far he had escaped from the Eastern Ocean Star Region. Gradually, he had a feeling that he was being followed.
A green light flashed in Ning Fan's eyes. He could immediately tell that there were dozens of old monsters who were hiding their bodies and following him from afar.
The stalkers came from various forces. All of them were True Immortal old monsters of Du Zhen and She Kong realm. There were even some at the peak of She Kong realm …
Currently, Ning Fan's name as the successor of Ancient Chaos had spread across the entire Eastern Heaven. Perhaps no one would dare to openly deal with him. In the dark, there were many forces that harbored different intentions towards Ning Fan.
Exposing his identity as the descendant of Ancient Chaos did not only bring him benefits, but also a lot of hostility hidden in the dark.
Ning Fan's eyes turned grim. While he was flying, he performed a hand seal with all ten of his fingers. Immediately, purple mist spread across the starry sky.
Many old monsters who were following behind Ning Fan were engulfed by the purple mist and were immediately bewitched by the illusion technique.
Early Stage Du Zhen and Middle Stage Du Zhen cultivators lost their minds once they were bewitched by the illusion.
The old monsters at the late stage of Crossing Truth Realm and above were lost in the illusion technique for a moment before they recovered.
"That's a pretty decent illusory technique … But it's a pity that it's futile to think that you can get rid of us with this technique!"
Among the trackers, an old monster at the peak of Shechuan Realm snorted in disdain. With a wave of his hand, the purple mist was immediately dispersed by his palm.
However, after the purple mist dispersed, Ning Fan's figure was nowhere to be seen …
"Ran away?"
The expression of the peak Void Abandoning Old Monster changed. Immediately, dozens of clones appeared from his body and performed hand seals at the same time.
His Soul Consciousness, which was as vast as the sea, immediately spread out like a tide, almost covering an entire low-level star area.
Unfortunately, he could not find any trace of Ning Fan even after spreading his spirit sense to the extreme …
"Strange … With this kid's speed, there's no reason for him to escape such a long distance in such a short period of time … If he's hiding here, it's impossible for him to hide from the senses of my clone … Could it be that he has a Thousand World Treasure on him and he's hiding it in the treasure? Hmm … a dimensional treasure is indeed precious, but if he's the descendant of Ancient Chaos, it's not strange for him to have one … Sure enough, he's still hiding here! "
"Humph! This old man doesn't believe that you can hide in the space of the world treasure forever! "
The old monster snorted coldly and immediately flew to a nearby abandoned planet. He sat down cross-legged and meditated, but his Divine Sense was still locked on this Star Field.
Just like this old monster, the other stalkers also set up camps on the abandoned planets nearby, waiting for Ning Fan to show up.
Spring passed and autumn came. They had been waiting here for tens of years but Ning Fan had yet to show up … This was a story for the future.
These people did not know that the reason why Ning Fan displayed the purple mist was to block their vision. He then summoned the ghost face and left in stealth mode.
The innate stealth ability of the ghost face was naturally not something that these stalkers could discover.
This time, after summoning the ghost face, Ning Fan did not keep it away anymore. Instead, he walked in the Eastern Heaven Immortal World with the appearance of a ghost face with silver hair.
If he walks in the Eastern Heaven with his true appearance, it would be too eye-catching and he would soon attract the attention of various forces. Ning Fan did not want to be followed by hundreds of stalkers with malicious intentions wherever he goes …
The Three Thousand Thunder World was extremely far from the Eastern Sea Star Area. It would take an ordinary Early True Crossing Realm cultivator at least ten years to fly from the Eastern Sea Star Area to the Three Thousand Thunder World. Naturally, cultivators who have comprehended the Earth Shrinking Technique could reach the Three Thousand Thunder World in half a year at most.
The long distance gave Ning Fan the opportunity to cultivate the Golden Earth Light.
The golden light could reach one billion li * (500m per li) … This technique consumed a lot of magic power. Fortunately, Ning Fan could replenish it at any time.
In his lightning star, there were still two lightning strikes from the Sky Renouncing Strike. In his lightning diagram, there were still countless lightning fragments that could be refined to replenish his magic power.
However, he did not use any of them. Instead, he flew and devoured the spiritual items of the five elements to replenish his magic power.
In the main pavilion of the merchant pavilion, Ning Fan took away millions of traces of spirit flames, cold qi and spiritual lightning …
The grade of these spiritual items might not be high but they were perfect for his Great Five Elements Physique to devour and replenish his magic power.
Moreover, devouring these spiritual items of the five elements could not only replenish his magic power but also slowly increase the grade of his devil flame.
Without the rapid consumption of the Golden Earth Light, Ning Fan would not be able to devour the spiritual items of the five elements so quickly.
With the replenishment of his magic power, Ning Fan no longer needed to worry about the consumption of his magic power. Thus, he began to activate the Golden Earth Light recklessly and flew in the starry sky.
In the beginning, the momentum of Ning Fan's golden light was astonishing. Occasionally, he would even directly crash into a certain cultivation planet, causing those cultivators along the way to panic. They just thought that an ancient monster had descended on their planet.
Gradually, Ning Fan became more and more proficient in using the Golden Earth Light. He no longer lost control of it.
When he deliberately slowed down his speed, the momentum of the Golden Earth Light was no longer shocking.
The starry sky along the way was no longer torn apart by the golden light, creating a ten thousand zhang * (3.33m per zhang) ravine. The sound of his traveling light was also less whistling and piercing through the air. It was almost silent.
Ning Fan seemed to have turned into a ray of light, as if he no longer had a physical body … When the light traveled, it was naturally silent.
If others did not see a ray of golden light flashing across the sky, they would not notice that Ning Fan had flown past them …
Even though he deliberately slowed down his traveling light, he only spent a month to reach the Three Thousand Thunder Realm.
During this one month, he had devoured more than seven hundred thousand balls of spirit flames and spiritual lightning. The grade of his devil flame had improved from the Mid Grade Eight to the Peak Grade Eight.
There was still a small distance left before he could break through to the Ninth Grade. This distance could not be achieved by devouring spiritual items. He had to achieve the breakthrough through enlightenment.
The Eighth Grade Spirit Flame was a divine ability that Life Immortal Realm cultivators often used. As for the Ninth Grade Flame, it was also known as the True Flame. It was a flame that only True Immortals could control!
In order to cultivate the True Flame, one must at least reach the True Crossing Realm. However, not every True Crossing Realm cultivator had the ability to cultivate the True Flame …
"In order to cultivate the True Flame, I have to comprehend the word 'truth' and break through to the True Crossing Realm … The True Crossing Realm is still very far away …"
"I've arrived at the Lightning Region … This is the Three Thousand Thunder Realm …"
Ning Fan kept his traveling light and stood outside a star region where lightning was intertwining.
It was an Imperial Star Region named the Lightning Region. Unlike the other star regions, there were no cultivation planets in this region. Instead, there was a lightning continent floating in the sky.
The entire lightning continent was divided into more than three thousand Lightning Realms by the power of the realm. Therefore, outsiders often called the Lightning Region as the Three Thousand Thunder Realm.
The Lightning Realms here were divided into ten levels, which was very similar to the division of the ten grade sects in the Eastern Sea Star Region.
In a First Grade Lightning Realm, the strongest forces were Gold Core Realm, Second Grade Nascent Soul Realm, Third Grade Divine Transformation Realm, Fourth Grade Void Refinement Realm and Fifth Grade Void Fragmentation Realm.
A Sixth Grade Lightning Realm usually had a Life Immortal Realm, a Seventh Grade True Crossing Realm, a Eighth Grade Void Shedding Realm and a Ninth Grade Thought Fragmentation Realm.
Among the Three Thousand Thunder Realms, there was only one Tenth Grade Lightning Realm. That was where the strongest force in the Three Realms Lightning Realm – the Extreme Lightning Palace was located.
If the palace lord of the Extreme Lightning Palace was an Immortal Emperor, he or she would use the title 'White Emperor'. The current White Emperor was a female emperor named Lan Yunxian.
When Sen Luo was annihilated, this female emperor was also present. Ning Fan remembered that her motive was to take back the Thunder King Seal that was taken away by Sen Luo …
"The Three Thousand Thunder Realm is guarded by an Immortal Emperor. It's not good for me to expose my identity here. Otherwise, I'll definitely be spied on by the Immortal Emperor …"
"The Lightning Fall Realm is a Sixth Grade Thunder Realm. The realm lord, Xu Yanzong, is said to be a Late Ghost Profound Life Immortal Realm cultivator who has been in charge of the Lightning Fall Realm for four hundred thousand years … However, according to the information that Ah Ci gave me, this person had already been following Lightning Emperor Tai Su since fifty million years ago … If he really is a Ghost Profound Life Immortal Realm cultivator, how could he have lived for such a long time …? This is a little strange …"
Ning Fan pondered for a long time. Then, he shifted his gaze away from the Three Thousand Thunder Realm and looked at a high-grade cultivation planet not far away from the Lightning Fall Realm.
That high-grade cultivation planet was called the 'Demon Slaughter Planet'. The strongest force there was the 'Demon Ruler Sect' which was a space-rending force …
The Demon Slaughter Planet was very famous in the Eastern Heaven Immortal World. It was not because of the Demon Ruler Sect but because there was a realm gate built on this planet which led directly to the battlefield between the divine race and the demon race … The Savage Battlefield!
If Ning Fan intends to enter the Savage Battlefield, he would definitely have to go to the Demon Ruler Sect and open the realm gate with the Battle Order …
"Let's go to the Lightning Fall Realm and look for Xu Yanzong first!"
Ning Fan made up his mind and immediately flew towards the outer region of the Three Thousand Thunder Realm.
He only controlled his qi and traveling speed at the Mortal Profound Realm. In this way, he would not attract too much attention.
With the traveling speed of a Mortal Profound Realm cultivator, it would take him at least a few months to fly to the depths of the Lightning Fall Realm.
Even though the Lightning Fall Realm was located at the outer region of the Three Thousand Thunder Realm, he still spent nearly half a month to reach it.
...
Lightning Fall Realm, White Thunder Sect.
The Lightning Fall Realm was a Grade 6 Lightning Realm. However, it was quite famous in the Three Thousand Thunder Realm. It was because fifty million years ago, there was an Immortal Emperor who lived in seclusion here … His name was Tai Su!
The place where Lightning Emperor Tai Su lived in seclusion was long gone. However, in the Lightning Fall Realm, there was an ancient sect that had been passed down to this day.
That sect was called the White Thunder Sect. It was said that it was founded by an ancient cultivator who worshiped Lightning Emperor Tai Su.
Since the beginning of the White Thunder Sect's history, there had never been a True Nascent Soul Realm cultivator in the sect. Among the old ancestors of the sect, the one with the highest cultivation base was the lord of this realm, Xu Yanzong. People called him Heavenly Monarch Xu.
The current sect master of the White Thunder Sect was a female cultivator at the Fourth Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm.
The White Thunder Sect rarely recruited disciples from the outside. The entire sect had less than ten thousand disciples. To a Life Immortal Realm force, ten thousand disciples was just too little …
In the past, the huge White Thunder Sect was cold and cheerless. However, in the past few months, the White Thunder Sect was bustling with activity. There were many forces from the Sixth Grade Thunder World that came to the White Thunder Sect to make friends with the White Thunder Sect.
The White Thunder Sect was just a Grade 6 force. It was not worth the attention of the other Grade 6 forces.
However, no one expected that a disciple of a Realm Lord of a Grade 7 Lightning Realm would fall in love with the sect master of the White Thunder Sect a few months ago and wanted to take her as his concubine!
The Realm Lord of a Grade 7 Lightning Realm must be a cultivator from the Du Zhen Realm.
Since that person was a disciple of the Du Zhen Realm, the White Thunder Sect naturally did not dare to reject his request.
In the eyes of others, it was the fortune of the White Thunder Sect for that person to fall in love with the Void Fragmentation Realm's sect master.
However, just like a person who drinks water, only one knows whether it is warm or cold … The sect master was not satisfied with this marriage, but there was nothing she could do …
"The Profound Thunder Realm is a Grade 7 Lightning Realm. The Realm Lord of the Profound Thunder Realm is a dignified Peak Realm Lord of the Du Zhen Realm. It is said that he is only one step away from attaining the Void Renunciation Realm … Our White Thunder Sect cannot afford to offend the Profound Thunder Realm! That disciple of his is lustful and unscrupulous. He is not a good match for you. We naturally know about this … However, you must marry this person. Otherwise, my White Thunder Sect will probably be destroyed because of you! "
In the main hall of the White Thunder Sect, three Human Profound Realm old ancestors were sitting on the highest seats. One of them, an old man in brown robes, was talking to a lady below him with a deep voice.
Below him, a blue-robed lady who was at the Fourth Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm stood. Her figure was graceful and her face was delicate and pretty. Her beautiful eyes were filled with despair …
Her name was Liu Yan. She was the current sect master of the White Thunder Sect. During one of her trips, she met the disciple of the Profound Thunder Realm Lord by chance and was chosen by him …
"Liu Yan, you can't change this no matter whether you are willing or not! You are the sect master of the White Thunder Sect. When you need to sacrifice yourself for the sect, you must do it without hesitation! This is your responsibility! "The old man in brown robes reprimanded her again.
Liu Yan's pretty face was pale. She bit her lips with her pearly white teeth. Finally, she mustered her courage and raised her head. Her eyes were filled with sadness. "I want to see my master … I want to know if he has also agreed to this marriage …"
As soon as they heard Liu Yan's words, the expressions of the three Human Profound Realm old ancestors changed. They wanted to say something but hesitated.
Liu Yan's master was the Realm Lord of the Fallen Thunder Realm … Xu Yanzong!
"Is my master unwilling to see me …? Has he also agreed to sacrifice me to protect the White Thunder Sect …?" Liu Yan laughed at herself.
"No. It's not that the Realm Lord doesn't want to see you. It's just that …"
One of the Human Profound Realm old ancestors was about to tell Liu Yan something but his words were interrupted by the old man in brown robes.
"Enough! She's just a Void Fragmentation Realm junior. Why do you need to explain to her?! This matter has been decided … Who is it?! "
The old man in brown robes suddenly stood up and looked towards the outside of the main hall with a solemn expression.
Outside the main hall, a white-robed young man slowly walked into the main hall. He had a head full of silver hair and a ferocious silver ghost mask. The qi that was emitting from his body was at the Early Human Profound Realm …
The three Human Profound Realm old ancestors were shocked when they saw that this person was able to enter the main hall of the White Thunder Sect without making a sound.
The sect protection grand formation of the White Thunder Sect was a Profound Ghost Grand Formation. No one in the Human Profound Realm could enter the main hall of the White Thunder Sect without triggering the grand formation.
However, this person was able to do it …
Liu Yan was slightly stunned. She turned her head and saw a silver-haired young man with cold eyes walking towards her step by step.
The qi of this silver-haired young man was very cold. It was so cold that it made one's hair stand on end … However, the strange thing was that Liu Yan didn't feel afraid when she saw this person. Instead, she felt an inexplicable closeness to him.
That closeness was indescribable. In the past, she would only have such a feeling when she was facing her master.
She didn't expect that she would also feel this closeness when she was facing this unfamiliar Human Profound Realm senior …
"Who are you?! Why have you come to my White Thunder Sect?! "
Among the three Human Profound Realm old ancestors, the brown-robed old man took a step forward. His eyes were cold and he asked in a deep voice.
He was the one with the highest cultivation base among the three of them. He was at the Mid Human Profound Realm. As he took a step forward, the boundless aura force of the Mid Human Profound Realm immediately pressed down on the newcomer!
"You don't need to know who I am … I'm here to look for someone."
Ning Fan raised his hand and made a grabbing gesture. He didn't use any ability but the aura force of the brown-robed old man immediately collapsed. He coughed out blood and was forced to retreat.
* Hiss *
The three Human Profound Realm old ancestors including the brown-robed old man felt their blood run cold.
They were convinced that Ning Fan was definitely not an Early Human Profound Realm expert! He was definitely hiding his cultivation base! He was at least at the Peak Human Profound Realm!
If he didn't have a Peak Human Profound Realm cultivation base, how could he break the aura force of the brown-robed old man so easily?!
"May I know who you're looking for?"
The way the three Human Profound Realm experts looked at Ning Fan became fearful and their tone became much more respectful.
In the cultivation world, strength was everything. Ning Fan's strength was obviously much higher than theirs. How would they dare to be rude to him?
"I'm looking for Xu Yanzong …"
As soon as Ning Fan's voice fell, even Liu Yan was slightly shocked.
He actually came to look for her master …
The expressions of the three Human Profound Realm old ancestors suddenly became strange.
The brown-robed old man recalled Xu Yanzong's reminder. After a slight hesitation, he cupped his fists and asked.
"Are you from the Rain World of the Lower World …"
* Boom *
An unimaginably terrifying aura force immediately spread out from Ning Fan's body and pressed down on the brown-robed old man!
"Who told you this?!" Ning Fan's eyes flashed with coldness.
The fact that he was a cultivator of the Rain World was rarely known in the Eastern Heaven. But a mere Mid Human Profound Realm expert in front of him could actually expose it!
The others couldn't feel Ning Fan's aura force, but the brown-robed old man who was at the center of the aura force shivered from the bottom of his heart!
He looked at Ning Fan in disbelief. He couldn't believe that the young man in front of him could emit such a terrifying aura force!
If he wasn't Human Profound Realm … he was at least Ghost Profound Realm or even higher!
He couldn't see through this person's true cultivation base!
But judging from this person's attitude, he really came from the Rain World!
"Fellow Daoist, please calm down. It was the Realm Lord who told me that someone from the Rain World would come to find him!"
The brown-robed old man revealed a panicked expression and looked at Ning Fan in fear. He explained using telepathy, fearing that Ning Fan would misunderstand him if he explained too slowly.
The two Human Profound Realm old ancestors could not feel Ning Fan's aura force. Naturally, they didn't know how terrifying Ning Fan was. They didn't understand why the brown-robed old man would be so afraid of Ning Fan.
Liu Yan's beautiful eyes were slightly shocked. Just at the moment when Ning Fan released his aura force, she actually felt a strange yet familiar lightning power from Ning Fan's body, causing some strange ancient scenes to appear in her mind …
In those scenes, she wasn't a person but a magical treasure's spirit …
"Did Xu Yanzong tell you about it?" Ning Fan's eyes slightly narrowed and retracted his aura force.
The brown-robed old man immediately relaxed his body and smiled apologetically. "Yes … It was the Realm Lord who told me about it. He said that someone from the Rain World would come and want to see him … He is approaching the Returning Ruins and he can't meet anyone. But if someone from the Rain World comes, he can meet them … "
"Is that so …" Ning Fan frowned.
This unknown Xu Yanzong seems to have some remarkable abilities. He actually predicted that I would come to find him …
Moreover, the brown-robed old man also mentioned another matter … Xu Yanzong was approaching the Returning Ruins …
"Fellow Daoist, please follow me to the back of the mountain to meet the Realm Lord." The brown-robed old man smiled apologetically.
"Alright. Lead the way!"
Under the guidance of the three Human Profound Realm experts, Ning Fan left the main hall and walked towards the back of the mountain.
However, just as they left the main hall, Ning Fan suddenly turned his head and looked at Liu Yan. His eyes were filled with confusion.
"Why is there a trace of Lightning Emperor Tai Su's aura on this girl …?"
