White Thunder Sect, forbidden area behind the mountain.
Within the forbidden ground, there was a stone cage cave dwelling. This cave dwelling was the place where the Thunderfall Realmlord entered closed-door seclusion.
Outside the cave, more than twenty cultivators of the Pure Thunder Sect were guarding this place. The disciples guarding this place were all above the Semi-God Realm.
Meanwhile, the three Void Refinement Stage guard commanders were sitting in a pavilion at the side, drinking wine with green plums and discussing current affairs.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Fellow Daoists, have you heard? The tenth grade Extreme Thunder Realm, as well as the seven ninth grade Thunder Realms in the vicinity of the Extreme Thunder Realm have all entered a state of emergency. It's said that the Eight Great Thunder Realms have been thrown into chaos. No one knows what exactly happened to make those powerful cultivators so flustered … "
"This old man has also heard about this matter. It is said that something has happened to the Supreme Thunder Palace and they are currently looking for someone. As for who exactly they are looking for, even they themselves don't know … How ridiculous!"
"Hehe, those powerful cultivators must have encountered some big trouble, but what does that have to do with us? Void Refinement Realm cultivators like us only need to eat, drink and live a carefree life. We shouldn't meddle in other people's business … "
"That's right, drink, drink! The days of guarding the stone gate are really leisurely! "
Just as the three of them were leisurely drinking wine, all of a sudden, a cold berating voice entered their ears. It carried a vast pressure, directly shattering their wine cups and causing them to vomit blood and be heavily injured.
"Humph! I asked you to guard the Realm Lord's pass, and this is how you guard! "
As soon as they heard this voice, the three mountain guards turned pale with fright. Not bothering to wipe the blood off their faces, they ran out of the pavilion in panic. When they saw who it was, they cursed inwardly and immediately clasped their hands in salute.
"Guardian Commanders Zhou Wen, Lu Bing, and Yu Chong greet the Patriarch of Law Enforcement!"
There were a total of four people. Other than the three Human Profound Realm old ancestors, there was also a silver-haired cultivator who wore a ghost mask.
As for the person who berated the three of them, it was the brown-robed man named Xuan. This person was the law enforcement ancestor of the White Thunder Sect. He had always been strict with his subordinates and there was no one in the White Thunder Sect who didn't fear him.
When the other disciples saw that their leader was being punished, they were afraid that the Law Enforcement Ancestor would punish them as well.
"Humph! Consider yourselves lucky that I have no time to punish you today! Forget it, you guys can leave for now! "
The brown-robed old man coldly snorted and dismissed the disciples.
The disciples who were in charge of guarding the mountain hurriedly retreated as if they were granted amnesty. However, before they left, they more or less glanced at Ning Fan curiously.
The brown-robed old man had a cold and emotionless face to everyone, but in front of Ning Fan, his face was full of smiles.
They were very curious about who exactly was Ning Fan that made the old ancestor treat him with such respect.
Ning Fan's eyes flickered slightly. He had heard the conversation between the three commanders just now.
Something big seemed to have happened in the Three Thousand Thunder Realm, causing all the realms to be on lockdown … However, all of this seemed to have nothing to do with him …
"Ancestor Xu is in seclusion inside the stone chamber. Fellow Daoist, you can enter on your own. We will wait outside."
After the brown-robed old man finished speaking, he took out a token and struck it at the stone wall.
Immediately, the stone door of the stone chamber rumbled open, revealing a pitch-black passageway.
Ning Fan remained silent for a while. In the end, he stepped into the stone door alone. The moment he entered the stone chamber, the stone door automatically closed.
The two copper lamps on the stone walls suddenly lit up. The dim and swaying light left mottled shadows on the walkway.
"Little friend, this old man has been waiting for you for a long time … you have finally come …"
Suddenly, a hoarse voice of an old man was heard from the depths of the stone chamber, carrying a hint of gratification.
Ning Fan's eyes slightly narrowed. The one who spoke was a late Ghost Profound cultivator. His qi was filled with dense Death Qi, indicating that he was not far from death …
This person was the only remaining disciple of Lightning Emperor Tai Su – Xu Yanzong!
If the information of the little demoness was right, this person should have lived for more than fifty million years … Is his cultivation base really only at the Ghost Profound realm …
Ning Fan walked towards the depths of the stone chamber with vigilance in his heart.
At the end of the stone chamber was a stone chamber. The light in the chamber was dim. A skinny old man who was as thin as a match was sitting cross-legged on a praying mat.
The old man's eye sockets were deeply sunken. His eyes were turbid, detached and listless.
His body was emitting dense Death Qi. It was hard to imagine that he was a living person.
The moment Ning Fan saw the old man, the lightning star on his glabella immediately felt boiling hot, as if it had sensed something from the old man.
In an instant, Ning Fan understood how this Late Ghost Profound old man could live for more than fifty million years.
This person was indeed a Late Ghost Profound cultivator, but he wasn't a living person … so he hadn't died yet …
"So he's … a puppet …" Ning Fan muttered to himself.
This thin and small old man was Xu Yanzong. He was a puppet, a puppet personally created by Lightning Emperor Tai Su.
The strength of this puppet might not be strong, but because it was made by an Immortal Emperor, its body was concealed by the lightning power left by Lightning Emperor Tai Su. Even those with profound cultivation base like Space Renhuang and Broken Thought might not be able to see through this person's identity.
The reason why Ning Fan could see through this person's identity was because of the Tai Su Lightning Star on his glabella. It allowed him to see through the concealment of the lightning power in the old man's body.
"Hehe … Little friend is indeed the owner of the lightning star. You've actually seen through this old man's identity … As you can see, this old man is indeed a puppet personally made by Lightning Emperor … Puppets aren't living beings. Naturally, they won't have a limit on their lifespan and won't be troubled by the Heavenly Tribulation. However, nothing in this world can escape the erosion of time … This old man has tried his best to delay the decay of this puppet, but this puppet still has no choice but to decay … This old man's lifespan has reached its limit. Fortunately, little friend is still here … "
"This old man knows that little friend has a lot of questions in your heart. I'll answer them one by one …"
"The reason why this old man knows that little friend is from Rain World is because someone told me that once the Dao of Lightning Emperor is extinguished, little friend will come …"
"Little friend, you don't have to ask me who that person is. It's useless even if you ask … I also don't know the identity of that person. I only know that his origin is very mysterious and his cultivation base is extremely terrifying. He's an old monster that even Lightning Emperor regards as his senior …"
Xu Yanzong let out a few dry coughs. The Qi of Death in his eyes was getting heavier and heavier. Speaking these few words seemed to be exhausting his strength.
He was thinking about the identity of the mysterious expert that Xu Yanzong mentioned.
There was once a mysterious expert who told Xu Yanzong that there would be a cultivator from Rain World who would come to find him after Lightning Emperor Tai Su's Dao was extinguished …
That mysterious expert was someone that even Lightning Emperor Tai Su regarded as his senior … Who could that person be … Was there such a terrifying figure in the Four Heavens?
Even if that person was a Quasi-Saint, it didn't seem to be enough for Lightning Emperor Tai Su to regard him as his senior …
"Two hundred years ago, Lightning Emperor's Dao was extinguished, causing the Dao of Lightning of Heaven and Earth to lose its ruler … At that time, countless old monsters in the Four Heavens traveled thousands of miles to Three Thousand Thunder World in search of the Dao Fruit of Sovereign, but to no avail … Hehe, of course, they couldn't find it because the Dao of Lightning Emperor was extinguished and didn't form the Dao Fruit of Sovereign … However, ever since then, this old man knew that little friend would definitely come … This old man purposely spread some information in the Eastern Heaven, thinking that with little friend's ability, you would naturally have a way to obtain the information and come to find this old man …"
"This old man knows the purpose of little friend's visit … There's an astrolabe hidden in this old man's puppet. That astrolabe shows the location of True Lightning World … However, that astrolabe is a little special. Before Lightning Emperor placed it in this old man's puppet, the Tool Spirit had already been extracted …"
"An ordinary astrolabe naturally doesn't need a Tool Spirit, but the astrolabe of True Lightning World can only be controlled by a Tool Spirit … because the location of True Lightning World is too special. It's not in an ordinary starry sky …"
"The Tool Spirit … is … my … disciple …"
"That Tool Spirit used to be my disciple … Recently, she seemed to have encountered some trouble … I hope that little friend can treat her well … If you can spare her, try not to kill her … If you can take care of her a little, I won't have any regrets even if I die …"
"Little friend … I hope that you can complete the task that Lightning Emperor entrusted to you … save True Lightning World … and break the seal of True Lightning World …"
Xu Yanzong felt like he had completed the most important task in his life. He had waited for fifty million years and Ning Fan had finally arrived. Then, he told Ning Fan everything.
His eyes were filled with gratification. He could finally die peacefully and follow his old master – Lightning Emperor Tai Su. He had been living in loneliness and exhaustion for the past fifty million years.
His eyes gradually turned dim. The death qi that he had been suppressing was finally no longer suppressed.
He could finally be free …
The death qi spread. The body of the puppet that he made with spiritual wood immediately decayed bit by bit. Eventually, it turned into ashes on the ground.
Among the ashes, an ancient star compass that was made of red jade fell out.
Ning Fan looked at everything in silence. He was powerless to stop it … Even a puppet with Ghost Profound Realm cultivation base would find it hard to live for fifty million years … This puppet had already reached its limit after enduring for so long. To it, continuing to exist was a kind of torture …
His originally cautious heart had now turned into a sense of melancholy, turning into a bit of a sigh.
After waiting for fifty million years … This puppet could be considered as having completed its task loyally. Perhaps it could die without any regrets …
"Senior, don't worry. I will definitely find a way to break the seal of True Lightning World in my lifetime!"
Ning Fan cupped his fists and bowed to the ashes on the ground. Then, he took out the Red Jade Star Compass from the pile of ashes.
After pondering for a while, he finally built a grave in the stone chamber and buried Xu Yanzong's ashes in it.
There were only four words on the tombstone – Death of the Lord.
After doing all this, Ning Fan finally had the leisure to carefully examine the Red Jade Star Compass.
This Red Jade Star Compass was completely different from an ordinary star compass. Not only was it different in appearance, but it was also different in essence.
Ning Fan could not tell what the difference was with just a few words.
This Red Jade Star Compass gave Ning Fan a strange feeling. It was as if the starry sky indicated by this Red Jade Star Compass was another starry sky. It was in the Eastern Heaven, but at the same time, it was not in the Eastern Heaven …
"Hmm? There's actually a lightning power seal on this star compass. Does it need to be unsealed before it can be used …? "
Ning Fan pondered for a moment. He did not walk out of the stone chamber but directly unsealed the lightning power seal on the star compass.
Ten days later, Ning Fan finally finished unsealing the star compass. He kept the Red Jade Star Compass and left the stone chamber.
Outside the stone chamber, there were still three Human Profound Realm old ancestors waiting for him. However, at this moment, all of them had more or less some injuries on their bodies …
"The Realm Lord still passed away in the end …"
The moment the stone chamber was opened, the three of them immediately felt the dense death qi inside. Their expressions turned gloomy and they sighed softly.
The three of them had long known that Xu Yanzong was approaching the Returning Void. All along, they had been hanging by a breath, waiting for Ning Fan's appearance. Now that they knew that Xu Yanzong was already dead, they were not too surprised.
Ning Fan, on the other hand, was slightly surprised when he found out that the three of them were actually injured. However, he did not ask about the reason for their injuries. Instead, he asked about other things.
"How many disciples does Realm Lord Xu have?" Ning Fan's question was a little abrupt but he had no choice but to ask.
The Red Jade Star Compass was very special. It needed a tool spirit to indicate the location of the True Lightning World.
According to Xu Yanzong, his disciple was the tool spirit of the Red Jade Star Compass … Ning Fan naturally had to obtain this tool spirit.
After hearing Ning Fan's question, the three Human Profound Realm old ancestors' expressions turned unnatural.
The brown-robed old man hesitated for a long time and said with a slightly unnatural expression. "There is only one disciple of the Realm Lord. She is the current sect master of our White Lightning Sect … Liu Yan …"
"Only one? Then it should be her … Ask Liu Yan to come and see me." Ning Fan's mind involuntarily recalled the lady he saw in the main hall of the White Lightning Sect.
That lady gave Ning Fan a strange feeling. There was actually a trace of Lightning Emperor Tai Su's qi in her body … Now that he thought about it, that lady should be Liu Yan, the tool spirit of the Red Jade Star Compass.
"This …" The brown-robed old man immediately showed a troubled expression.
Another Human Profound Realm old ancestor asked with a bitter smile. "I wonder why Fellow Daoist is looking for Liu Yan. Could it be that you have taken a fancy to this lady?"
"No. I'm looking for her for another important matter. "
"Hehe. I see … It's good that you didn't take a fancy to this lady …" That Human Profound Realm old ancestor heaved a sigh of relief.
The brown-robed old man also regained his senses and said to Ning Fan with a bitter smile. "I'm afraid it will be a little difficult for Fellow Daoist to see Liu Yan. A few days ago, the Profound Thunder Realm Lord had already sent his men to forcefully take her to the Profound Thunder Realm … We wanted to stop him but we were too weak and suffered some injuries instead … Now, I'm afraid this lady is about to reach the Profound Thunder Realm …"
"What do you mean?!" Ning Fan frowned. Why would his tool spirit be taken away by someone else?!
"* Sigh * Liu Yan's life is really tough … Who asked her to be taken by the disciple of the Profound Thunder Realm Lord, Yu Jizi? I'm afraid she's like a sheep entering a wolf's den. She won't be able to escape death … It's very difficult for those women who have been plucked by Yu Jizi to live past the second day … Forget it. There's no hope for Liu Yan to return. It's time for us to appoint a new sect master …"
The few Human Profound Realm old ancestors sighed with emotion. They did not notice that Ning Fan's expression had already darkened.
He did not care how indifferent the few Human Profound Realm old ancestors of the White Thunder Sect were to Liu Yan's life and death.
However, the moment he took over the Red Jade Astrolabe, Liu Yan had already become the tool spirit of his magic treasure. She was the guarantee for him to go to the True Thunder World …
Not just anyone had the right to touch his Artifact Spirit!
"The Profound Thunder World, huh … For the sake of that Liu Yan, I'll make a trip there."
Ning Fan's eyes flashed. With a sway of his body, he immediately turned into a rainbow and left the White Thunder Sect. The direction he was heading towards was the Profound Thunder World.
The eyes of the three Human Profound Realm old ancestors immediately widened. Could it be that Ning Fan was going to the Profound Thunder World to snatch Liu Yan?!
"This man is at most a Life Immortal Realm expert. If he offends the Profound Thunder Realm Lord, he will certainly die … It's really unwise to offend the Profound Thunder World for a mere Liu Yan!"
"* Sigh * I can only hope that he won't anger the Profound Thunder World and vent his anger on us …" The three of them thought without any backbone.
In the Thunder Fall World, a thousand li * (500m per li) away from the White Thunder Sect.
In a certain barren mountain, a barefooted little girl with a head full of silver hair and dressed in white robes was walking towards the White Thunder Sect. She was about six or seven years old. She was plucking wildflowers, weaving flower garlands, and humming a sweet song as she walked towards the White Thunder Sect.
She did not walk fast and there was no trace of qi of her cultivation base on her body. However, some of the ferocious beasts in the barren mountain were fearful of her.
It was this innocent and naive little girl who had once defeated all the ferocious beasts in the mountain with a smile. Her strength was extremely terrifying …
"Little Qianqian is too fierce. Little Youyou is too long-winded. Little Qingqing is too old-fashioned. Little Rourou is too pretentious … It's better for me to come out alone to have some fun …"
"En … What is this Thunder World called again … En … Thunder Fall World … It seems to be this name … Eh? It smells so good! I'm so hungry! I really want to eat it! What's that smell?! "
The little girl suddenly raised her head and looked at the direction where Ning Fan had gone. Her saliva flowed out from her mouth and her big eyes flashed with faint lightning.
"Quietly follow him!"
The little girl tapped the ground with her toes, and her body immediately turned into a bolt of lightning, instantly disappearing from where she stood!
It was obvious that there was no aura of cultivation, but its speed was comparable to the early stage of Shedding Void! No one knew anything about this.
Grade Seven Thunder World, Profound Thunder World, Heavenly Moon Sect.
Inside the Heavenly Moon Sect, red silk and colorful brocade were hung everywhere, and the sound of bells, cauldrons, and harps could be heard endlessly.
Today was a joyous day for the Heavenly Moon Sect. Yu Jizi, the Sect Master of the Heavenly Moon Sect, was going to marry his 252nd concubine today.
For ordinary cultivators, marrying a few concubines was a trivial matter that was not worth mentioning in the cultivation world. There was no need to hold a grand banquet.
However, Yu Jizi was different. He was a person who loved extravagance. Even if he was marrying a concubine, he would make it known to the world and invite fellow daoists from all over the world to congratulate him.
He was the personal disciple of the Xuanlei Realmlord. Others naturally had to give him face. Also, every time someone came to congratulate him, the gifts couldn't be too meager.
Streaks of light flew over. They were all guests who had come to congratulate him.
In the main hall of the Heavenly Moon Sect, Yu Jizi was wearing a red wedding robe. His face was glowing as he received the guests who came to congratulate him.
Yu Jizi was an early Spirit Profound Realm cultivator. Those who were qualified to be invited by him had to be at least a Life Immortal.
Almost all the reputable sect masters in the Profound Thunder World had been invited by Yu Jizi.
In the main hall, most of the old monsters were conceited. They only came because of Yu Jizi's identity. None of them had the intention to curry favor with Yu Jizi.
However, there were also some cultivators who were good at currying favor with Yu Jizi. Once they had the chance, they would immediately put on a smiling face and curry favor with Yu Jizi.
"Haha, Brother Yu, I have nothing to congratulate you on today's joyous occasion. Here is a small token of my appreciation. I hope Brother Yu will accept it!"
"Congratulations, I heard that Brother Yu's new concubine is the sect master of a grade six Thunder World … Tsk tsk tsk, Brother Yu's luck with women is not shallow. I admire you!"
"Speaking of which, why hasn't Brother Yu's concubine appeared yet? Let me see what kind of beauty she is to be able to make Brother Yu fall in love with her. "
Yu Jizi couldn't help but blush when he heard the compliments. He was extremely proud of himself.
When he thought that he would be able to taste Liu Yan's wonderful taste after today, a certain part of Yu Jizi's body immediately became hot.
The only regret was that the cultivators who went to kidnap Liu Yan were a little slow and had not returned yet.
However, there was no hurry. After calculating the time, those people would bring Liu Yan back in a little while.
Rumble! Rumble!
Suddenly, a deafening sound of thunder came from outside the Heavenly Moon Sect.
When he heard the sound of thunder, Yu Jizi immediately clapped his hands and laughed. He couldn't be more familiar with the sound of thunder. It was the sound of the Thunder Chariot!
The Thunder Chariot was a flying magical treasure unique to the Three Thousand Thunder World. It was extremely fast and only some cultivators with high status were qualified to own it.
Relying on the fact that his master was the lord of the Profound Thunder World, Yu Jizi obtained a low-grade Thunder Chariot.
In order to bring Liu Yan back as soon as possible, Yu Jizi deliberately gave the Thunder Chariot to a few of his subordinates.
At this moment, the sky outside the Heavenly Moon Sect was gloomy. Dark clouds covered the sky and muffled thunder could be heard from time to time.
In the midst of the lightning, four Late Ghost Profound old monsters were riding a Thunder Chariot that was dazzling with lightning, speeding towards the Heavenly Moon Sect.
In the Thunder Chariot, there was a woman with despair in her eyes. She was Liu Yan.
At this moment, her pretty face was pale and she was wearing a bright red wedding dress. That was the wedding dress that the three old ancestors of the White Thunder Sect had prepared for her …
"If Master knew that I was kidnapped by a villain, he would definitely not sit idly by. Even if he knew that the other party was a seventh grade force, he would not be afraid … However, Yu Jizi sent people to kidnap me this time, but Master did not step out of the stone chamber at all. He did not care about what happened to me. There is only one reason for this … Master must be so weak that he cannot step out of the stone chamber anymore …"
"Master … is the only person in this world who cares about me …"
"Other than Master, no one in the White Thunder Sect cares about my life or death … If Master can't save me, then no one in this world will save me … no one will care about me anymore …"
Boom!
The Thunder Chariot landed heavily outside the main hall of the Heavenly Moon Sect, causing countless gravel to fly up.
The four Late Ghost Profound old monsters got off the Thunder Chariot and opened the door to let Liu Yan out.
Their cold eyes were locked on Liu Yan. If Liu Yan had the thought of escaping, they would certainly stop her.
How could a mere Fourth Heavenly Layer Void Fragmentation girl escape from their palms?
"Go in! The sect master is waiting for you! If you dare to resist and anger the sect master, the White Thunder Sect will certainly be annihilated! If you dare to commit suicide, your master will certainly die with you! "The four old monsters said in a deep voice.
Liu Yan clenched her fists unwillingly. She naturally did not know that her master was already dead.
If she was alone, she would rather commit suicide than marry Yu Jizi.
However, these four old monsters threatened her that if she dared to resist and commit suicide, the White Thunder Sect and her master would bear the wrath of the Profound Thunder World for her …
She was unwilling … but she did not dare to disobey …
She might never be able to escape from the evil clutches of Yu Jizi for the rest of her life after stepping into the main hall. If she was lucky, she could still survive after being toyed with. If she was unlucky, she might be toyed to death or be rewarded to a servant by Yu Jizi …
"There's no way to escape … I can only accept my fate …"
Liu Yan closed her eyes. Two streams of tears rolled down her cheeks as she walked into the main hall step by step.
Her appearance was delicate and pretty. Her figure was like a willow branch swaying in the wind. The most attractive thing about her was her seemingly delicate body and her eyes that were obviously weak but had a hint of stubbornness.
As soon as she entered the main hall, the eyes of many old monsters in the hall immediately lit up.
Yu Jizi's eyes were even more scorching as if they were ignited with flames.
If it wasn't because of the inappropriate occasion, he really wished that he could strip Liu Yan naked and eat her up.
Suppressing the fire of lust in his heart, Yu Jizi licked his lips and gave a meaningful glance to the master of ceremonies beside him.
The old man understood his meaning. He immediately cleared his throat and cupped his fists towards the old monsters in the main hall.
"Today is a joyous day for the Sect Master of Heavenly Moon Sect. All of you have come from thousands of miles away to congratulate him. On behalf of my Sect Master, this old man would like to propose a toast to all of you!"
This old man was one of the four great protectors of the Profound Thunder Realm Lord. He was an Intermediate Crossing Truth Realm cultivator who was sent by the Profound Thunder Realm Lord to protect Yu Jizi.
The old man raised his wine cup. Naturally, the old monsters present didn't dare to be negligent. They all raised their wine cups in front of them and gestured from afar.
Liu Yan smiled bitterly. The joy of others was great, but for her, it was great sorrow and misfortune.
The maidservant beside her handed her a cup of wine. With a quick glance, she could tell that there was something in the wine …
She didn't refuse or resist. She just closed her eyes and drank the wine in one gulp.
As soon as the wine entered her stomach, a gush of hot air immediately rushed out of her lower abdomen and ran rampant in her delicate body. Her pale face immediately turned abnormally red and her delicate body began to go limp …
Sure enough, the wine was laced with that kind of medicine …
Liu Yan closed her eyes bitterly. The old monsters beside her also filled their cups with wine.
The old man nodded with satisfaction. He put down the wine cup and was about to say something. Suddenly, the entire mountain peak where Heavenly Moon Sect was located shook violently!
At this moment, the Sect Protecting Grand Formation of Heavenly Moon Sect was shattered by a palm strike!
Outside the main hall, a white-robed young man with a ghost face and silver hair walked in step by step with a cold gaze!
The moment she saw this white-robed young man, Liu Yan's heart that was originally filled with despair was suddenly filled with some hope …
The moment she heard the young man's words, she was sure that this person was here to save her. Tears of grievance immediately flowed out …
"I'm sorry, she is my Artifact Spirit! I … want to take her away! "
