After being frightened by Ning Fan's ability, how would that elderly tribulation messenger still dare to attack Ning Fan?
Not only did he not dare to attack Ning Fan, but he also showed a terrified expression. He immediately flew up from the peak of Li Mountain and landed in front of Ning Fan. He half-knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Ning Fan.
"Fan Lianyun, the Fan Family's Calamity Emissary, did not know the identity of the Upper Realm's Calamity Venerables and attacked without reason, offending them. Please forgive me, Calamity Venerables!"
Even though Ning Fan's current appearance was just a barbaric bull, the elderly tribulation messenger did not dare to offend him.
Ning Fan's strength terrified him. However, what terrified him even more was Ning Fan's identity as the Tai Cang Tribulation Spirit …
In Fan Lianyun's eyes, Ning Fan possessed the Calamity Blood. Thus, he was the Calamity Spirit of Tai Cang. He was an existence that he could not afford to offend no matter what!
"Fan Clan's Tribulation Emissary … Upper Realm Tribulation Venerable …"
Ning Fan pondered over the message of the elderly calamity messenger and fell into deep thought.
He was pulled into a mental illusion by the Heavenly Dao Purple Lock. The people and things in the illusion were all deductions and illusions of the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial Wilderness. They did not truly exist.
This calamity envoy named Fan Lianyun should be an ancient cultivator from the Immemorial Desolate Land …
Everything in front of him was an illusion. Although it was an illusion, it contained some ancient secrets …
"What's a Tribulation Lord of the Upper Realm? What was the Fan family? What are Calamity Messengers? "Ning Fan asked expressionlessly, trying to pry some ancient secrets from Fan Lianyun.
"Tribulation Venerable must have just awakened his Jie Blood, so he must have many questions about the Wilderness. In the Wildlands, any living being that had awakened their tribulation blood would become a tribulation spirit of the Grand Firmament. Once they ascended to the Upper Worlds, they would become tribulation lords of the Upper Worlds. The Fan family was the largest family in the Wilderness. They obeyed the orders of the Tribulation Venerables of the Upper Realms and ruled the Wilderness. We cultivators of the Fan Clan are the Tribulation Emissaries of the Lower Realm. We cultivate the Tribulation Sense Technique and are responsible for raising barbarian slaves. The Patriarch of the Fan Clan is the Barbarian Ancestor. He has been cultivating the Tribulation Technique for a million years. I think it won't be long before he can cultivate the Tribulation Blood and become a Tribulation Venerable of the Upper Realm! "Fan Lianyun answered respectfully.
Ning Fan remained silent for a while.
"The Savage Desolation Ancient Domain was once the place where the Tribulation Spirit of Tai Cang in the Upper World raised barbarian slaves … No wonder this Savage Desolation Ancient Domain is related to tribulation in every aspect, yet it doesn't seem like it …"
"The head of the Fan family is the Barbaric Ancestor. The Barbaric Ancestor Scripture advises barbarians to submit to adversity. It must be because he wants to help Tai Cang Tribulation Spirit to raise a batch of docile barbarian slaves …"
"There are no longer any Tribulation Emissaries or Fan Clan left in Ancient Savage Wilderness Domain … But why …?"
Ning Fan turned his head and wanted to ask Fan Lianyun some more questions, but he saw that Fan Lianyun's illusory body suddenly dissipated little by little and turned into light spots before disappearing …
The reason why the Heavenly Dao created the Ancient Desolate Illusory Realm was just to imprison Ning Fan's mind and prevent him from removing the Dao Illusion of the stone bridge. However, it was not willing to let Ning Fan know too many ancient secrets.
This was also a kind of protection that the Heavenly Dao gave to the junior cultivators … There were some ancient secrets that cultivators who had yet to enter the True Realm would definitely die if they heard it. Without the corresponding strength, they wouldn't be qualified to know about it.
From now on, it would be very difficult for Ning Fan to find out more ancient secrets from the Illusory Realm. Any ancient living beings that he inquired about would have their illusory bodies dissipate …
"Forget it. I'll head north to the Yellow River first and use the water of the Yellow River to dissolve the purple locks!"
"Once the purple locks are dissolved, I will be able to leave the Illusory Realm …"
Ning Fan lowered his bull head and carried the Heavenly Dao Purple Locks that were as heavy as Li Mountain on his back.
With his slow speed, he could only travel half a li in a day. In a year, he could only travel less than 200 li.
The distance between Li Mountain and the Yellow River was ten thousand li. With his barbaric bull body and the weight of the purple locks, he had no idea how long it would take for him to walk.
Ning Fan could feel that even though the sun and moon were changing and time was passing in the Illusory Realm, only a few moments had passed in the outside world …
The scorching sun was high in the sky and he was moving forward. The north wind was howling and he was moving forward. Day and night were changing but his footsteps had never stopped.
Only a few moments had passed in the outside world, but fifty years had passed in the Illusory Realm!
After fifty years of trekking, Ning Fan finally arrived at the bank of the Yellow River. Looking at the muddy river water that was surging like a dragon, he frowned and remained silent.
Rumor has it that a liter of clear water from the Yellow River could dissolve the Heavenly Dao Purple Locks. However, how could there be any clear water in this river that was filled with countless silt?
Green light flashed in Ning Fan's eyes. The reason why the Yellow River was muddy seemed to be not just because of the silt.
The river water seemed to contain a will that could pollute the lives of the common people. It was because of this will that the silt was attracted to the river, causing the water of the Yellow River to become muddy …
"Hmm? There's a cultivator under the river … "
Ning Fan's eyes flashed. He lifted his hoof and stomped heavily.
With his strength, a stomp from the barbaric bull form was enough to trample millions of li of mountains and rivers into ruins. However, due to the protection of the will, the water of the Yellow River actually negated the force of Ning Fan's stomp.
This stomp only caused the river to change its course …
"Cultivator under the river, come out and see me!" Ning Fan said in a deep voice.
In the dragon palace at the bottom of the Yellow River, a barbaric dragon that was in seclusion was startled when it heard that the river had changed its course. It immediately broke out of the water and transformed into a white-bearded old man. He landed in front of Ning Fan.
He was also a Tribulation Emissary of the Fan Clan. His duty was to guard the Yellow River.
His eyes were burning with anger. He was angry because someone from the Barbarian Wilderness had stepped on the Yellow River and caused it to change its course!
However, when the white-bearded old man realized that it was Ning Fan who did that, he was immediately shocked and showed a terrified expression.
The white-bearded old man felt a suffocating pressure from Ning Fan's body. That pressure came from the tribulation blood in Ning Fan's body!
"This barbaric bull is actually the Tai Cang Tribulation Spirit!"
The white-bearded old man swallowed his saliva and knelt on the ground in fear and trepidation. He did not dare to meet Ning Fan's eyes.
"Fan Yuqi, the Tribulation Emissary of the Fan Clan, greets the Venerated Tribulation of the Upper World! May I know what orders Venerated Tribulation has for me? "
"Let me ask you, how can I make the Yellow River clear?!"
"Erm … Venerated Tribulation wants to use the clear water of the Yellow River to dissolve the shackles?" The white-bearded old man was slightly stunned and then said with a bitter smile.
"If Venerated Tribulation has come for this matter, I have to tell you a piece of bad news. The water of the Yellow River will never be clear …"
"Why?"
"Because this Yellow River is formed from a trace of tribulation intent left behind by that lord. It has the will to pollute everything. As long as the will isn't extinguished, the Yellow River will never be clear …"
Fan Yuqi's expression immediately turned fearful when he mentioned 'that lord'. Fortunately, this was just an illusion. Otherwise, he would lose his life just thinking about that lord with his current cultivation base …
Ning Fan's expression immediately changed. Other than the Lord of Tribulation Intent, who else could it be that was unimaginable …?
The river water contained the will of the lord of tribulation intent to pollute everything.
The Heavenly Dao Purple Shackles on Ning Fan's body also contained the will of Immortal Emperor Zi Dou …
"Actually, it's not that there's no clear water in the Yellow River. It's said that the source of the Yellow River has water that's as clear as a mirror … However, it's extremely far away. Even if I fly with all my might, it will still take me a few months to reach the source of the Yellow River. Now that Venerated Tribulation is carrying a heavy shackle, I'm afraid that it'll take a long time for him to reach there … Moreover, it's said that the lord left behind an extremely strong will at the source of the Yellow River. Ordinary living beings can't even get close to the source of the Yellow River … "The white-bearded old man added.
Ning Fan remained silent for a while. After dismissing the white-bearded old man, he walked along the Yellow River alone.
The source of the Yellow River was extremely far away. Even a Mid True Crossing Realm cultivator would need a few months to reach there.
If it was Ning Fan who carried the purple shackles on his back, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to reach the source of the Yellow River without millions of years.
Fortunately, this place was an illusory realm. Even if he spent millions of years in the illusory realm, it would only be a moment in the outside world.
In this place, Ning Fan didn't need to worry about the consumption of time. However, he couldn't cultivate in the illusory realm either.
He buried the bull's head and walked along the river with heavy steps.
In a year, he would travel no more than two hundred li.
In a hundred years, he would travel no more than twenty thousand li.
In ten thousand years, he would travel no more than two million li.
Ning Fan had forgotten how long he had walked, how much blood and sweat he had left behind and how many years he had gone through.
The passage of time in the illusory realm was meaningless to the improvement of his cultivation base.
After a hundred thousand years of traveling alone, Ning Fan still hadn't seen the source of the Yellow River.
After a million years of hard work, Ning Fan still hadn't seen the source of the Yellow River.
Five million years later, a large snowy mountain finally appeared in front of Ning Fan.
The source of the Yellow River was in the valley surrounded by snowy mountains!
Outside the valley, there was a strong will that forbade anyone from entering the valley to search for the source of the Yellow River.
If it was Ning Fan in the past, he certainly wouldn't be able to resist such a strong will.
However, in the illusory realm, Ning Fan had turned into a barbaric bull and carried heavy chains on his back, trudging arduously for five million years.
Five million years of hardship did not bring any improvement to Ning Fan's cultivation base. Instead, it continuously tempered Ning Fan's indomitable will.
He used his bull's horns to hit the invisible will barrier outside the valley.
His footsteps became slower and it became more difficult for him to walk. At the same time, he was being suppressed by the wills of Immortal Sovereign Zi Dou and the Lord of Tribulation Intent, making it difficult for him to even breathe.
However, he still didn't stop moving. The obsession in his eyes had already become indestructible after five million years of hard work!
"I want to enter the valley!"
Against the will power of the two peerless experts, Ning Fan stepped on the snow that was up to his knees. He gritted his teeth and walked stubbornly into the valley!
What entered his sight was an icy lake that was filled with frigid qi. This icy lake was the source of the Yellow River!
The water of this icy lake was crystal clear. However, the coldness of the water made Ning Fan shiver uncontrollably.
When Ning Fan approached the lakeside and got close to the lake, he was shocked.
He saw a tree at the center of the icy lake. It was an ice tree that was rooted at the bottom of the lake!
The appearance of the ice tree looked like a bodhi tree but it wasn't exactly the same. The branches of the tree were filled with six-edged white flowers that gave off a cold fragrance.
Just by smelling the fragrance of the white flowers, the Heavenly Life Green Qi in Ning Fan's body actually increased a little!
His cultivation base of the Unity of Heaven and Man had improved!
This increase was fake. It was an illusion in the illusory realm. If he gets out of the illusory realm, the amount of Heavenly Life Green Qi would still be the same as before.
Even so, Ning Fan was still shocked. He guessed that this ice tree was most likely the great fortune that Que Shenzi mentioned in the past. It could raise the cultivation base of the Heavenly Life Realm!
He didn't expect that Ning Fan could actually turn into a barbaric bull and meet this tree in the illusory realm …
"Hmm? The barbaric bull of the lower world can actually withstand the will of the Tribulation Lord and come to the Chen Tree … "
A woman's voice that sounded unfamiliar yet familiar suddenly came from Ning Fan's back.
That voice carried a coldness that kept people a thousand miles away but it didn't carry any hostility.
Ning Fan's heart skipped a beat for no reason. He turned around and looked at the person who spoke.
What he saw was a lady in red dress standing on the snow-covered land beside the ice lake.
That lady's qi was extremely strong. It was even stronger than Xiang Bozi's qi. There were red lightning crackling around her body!
Her eyes and lips were blood-red. She was wearing a red dress. Standing in the snow, she looked like a beautiful red plum blossom.
That lady's appearance was very similar to Hong Yi's but there seemed to be some differences …
"Hmm? You also have tribulation blood in your body … Are you also the Tai Cang Tribulation Spirit? "
Only then did the lady in red notice the tribulation blood in Ning Fan's body. She couldn't help but reveal a look of interest.
"Interesting … I didn't expect that there is another Tai Cang Tribulation Spirit who intends to betray the Tribulation Lord and steal the Chen Flower other than me … You little bull are very interesting …"
The lady in red robes approached Ning Fan. She reached out her cold and smooth palm and stroked Ning Fan's ox spine.
Ning Fan looked at the lady in disbelief. The lady's appearance gradually overlapped with the image of Hong Yi in his mind …
"You are Hong Yi?!"
"Hong Yi? No, I'm not Hong Yi. I'm the Red Yaksha … But the name Hong Yi isn't bad … "
The lady in red smiled seductively. She tapped the snow with the tip of her toes and landed lightly under the ice tree at the center of the lake like a red butterfly.
"The nutrients of the Chen Tree are the mortal fate of all living beings. The Chen Flower blooms once every five million years. After it blooms, it will fall … I'm close to opening the second gate of the Heavenly Being Realm and I need this flower. I'm afraid I can't let you have it, little bull …"
"Speaking of which, even if I let you have these Chen Flowers, you won't be able to take them away … You have never followed the Tribulation Lord before. Thus, you don't know that plucking the Chen Flower requires a special immortal art … If you don't know this immortal art, you won't be able to pluck the Chen Flower from the Chen Tree …"
"The Chen Flower belongs to me. All the water in the ice lake belongs to you … Originally, I wanted to take the lake water as well. However, judging from your appearance, it seems like you really need the lake water to dissolve … So, I'll let you have it."
As soon as the lady finished speaking, she did not look at Ning Fan again. Instead, she activated the tribulation sense power with her bare hands and formed a series of mysterious hand seals.
After forming hundreds of hand seals, she carefully reached out her hand to pluck the six-edged white flowers and put them into her mouth.
After consuming all of the white flowers, the red-clothed woman giggled and flew away.
However, before she left, she still gave Ning Fan a glance with interest. She was very interested in this little bull who trespassed into the snow valley …
She left. However, she did not know that Ning Fan had memorized all the hand seals she used to pluck the Chen Flowers.
If Ning Fan really follows Que Shenzi to search for the Chen Tree and pluck the Chen Flowers in the future, he would certainly use these hand seals.
"She's not Hong Yi. She's the Red Yaksha … The Red Yaksha. The Innate Lightning Spirit that I killed that day said that I'm the slave of the Red Yaksha. It said that both of us are traitors of the Tai Cang Tribulation Spirit …"
"Could it be that what I just saw was the scene where the Red Yaksha betrayed the Tai Cang Tribulation Spirit …?"
"The Red Yaksha … She must have some kind of relationship with Hong Yi …"
After the red-robed lady left, Ning Fan suddenly leaped into the icy lake.
The lake water was bone-piercingly cold. It made Ning Fan shiver uncontrollably as if he was being pricked by needles.
The water of the lake contained the willpower left by the Lord of Tribulation Intent. It turned into ice and eroded Ning Fan's Dao Heart.
Fortunately, Ning Fan was still carrying the Dao Lock of Immortal Sovereign Zi Dou's willpower. At this moment, the two types of willpower began to clash against each other.
The willpower in the icy lake was constantly being weakened. The willpower of the purple lock on Ning Fan's back was also weakening bit by bit.
After an unknown period of time, the purple lock on Ning Fan's back completely melted and collapsed. The willpower in the icy lake also dissipated completely …
At the moment when the purple lock collapsed, Ning Fan's consciousness returned to his body and left the illusory realm. He opened his eyes beside the True Illusion River.
The Heavenly Dao Purple Lock that was restraining him collapsed without any warning. The water of the True Illusion River flowed in reverse at this moment!
The Immortal Sovereign's willpower that was left in the river was disturbed by Ning Fan's action of breaking the lock!
The willpower that was suppressing Ning Fan's body immediately loosened. Ning Fan seized the opportunity. His eyes flashed with green light. Without saying a word, he began to peel off the Dao Illusion of the stone bridge.
The process lasted for a whole day. After one day, Ning Fan had peeled off one third of the Dao Illusion of the stone bridge. One third of the stone bridge had turned into a true bridge!
After one day, the willpower of the True Illusion River had already recovered to its original state. The pressure that was as heavy as a mountain pressed on Ning Fan's body once again, not allowing him to continue peeling off the Dao Illusion.
"This young man has actually built one third of the true bridge!"
Under the True Illusion River, the River Demon's eyes widened in shock. It was his first time seeing someone who could build one third of the true bridge on the True Illusion River!
At first, he did not believe that someone could build a bridge on the True Illusion River. However, at this moment, he had a hint of confidence in Ning Fan's ability.
"This young man might be able to set a precedent in the Illusionary World and build a true bridge on the True Illusion River …"
The water of the True Illusion River had already returned to its original state. At the center of the river, the second purple-golden whirlpool slowly appeared.
Suddenly, a purple-golden palm imprint flew out from the whirlpool and slammed heavily at Ning Fan.
The power of the palm imprint was already infinitely close to the Void Rending Strike!
Moreover, within that palm imprint was a willpower that was above everything. It would not allow anyone to go against it.
Ordinary cultivators would naturally find it difficult to resist the palm imprint, let alone the willpower contained within it.
However, Ning Fan had gone through five million years of bitter cultivation in the illusory realm and continued doing the same stupid act … His willpower was already indestructible.
With his current strength, it was not impossible for him to block the Void Rending Palm Imprint!
"Rain Yin Yang, unseal!"
"Battle Yin Yang, unseal!"
Ning Fan performed a hand seal with all ten of his fingers. His aura force instantly reached the peak of the Du Zhen Realm!
The Initial Completion of the Rain Yin Yang gave Ning Fan the ability to control the rain of heaven and earth.
The Initial Completion of the Battle Yin Yang gave Ning Fan the ability to control the battle intent of heaven and earth.
At the moment when Ning Fan unsealed the Battle Yin Yang, the River Demon's expression suddenly changed. He clearly felt that some kind of power in his body had disappeared out of nowhere. Upon closer inspection, he realized that he did not lose any of his power.
What he did not know was that the power that disappeared was called battle intent. It had been seized by Ning Fan.
It was the weakening of the willpower! Of course, he did not understand it!
That palm imprint originally contained the willpower left behind by the Immortal Sovereign. However, as Ning Fan unsealed the Battle Yin Yang, the willpower in the palm imprint was also weakened.
Ning Fan turned his hand and sent a palm strike at the purple-golden palm imprint.
When the two palms collided, Ning Fan was immediately sent flying like a kite with a broken string. He spurted out blood and was sent flying. As for the purple-golden palm imprint, it completely collapsed!
As soon as the palm imprint was destroyed, billowing illusory mist immediately rolled towards Ning Fan.
Ning Fan's expression changed slightly. He tried to avoid the mist but he was still a step too late. The mist invaded his mind.
"Second Illusion!"
Within the mist, an indifferent voice that was like the Great Dao resounded. It was the voice of the Heavenly Dao itself.
As soon as the voice fell, Ning Fan lost control of his mind once again and was trapped in the illusory realm of his mind.
What entered his eyes was still the ancient and desolate world. However, this time, Ning Fan was not a barbarian bull but a barbarian fish.
He was a barbarian fish that was kept in the Grand Firmament Tribulation Pond.
In the tribulation pond, he was not the only barbarian fish. There were thousands of other barbarian fish. All of them had purple-golden scales.
Layers of restrictions were set up in the tribulation pond to prevent any barbarian fish from escaping.
At the bank of the pond, ten or so tribulation envoys were guarding the pond. Each of them had a cultivation base above the Crossing Truth Realm.
"Hehe. The Barbarian Fish Clan sure has the guts to offend the Tribulation Venerables of the Upper World. I'm afraid they won't be able to live for long."
"The formation of the tribulation pond will kill thousands of barbarian fish every day and offer their souls to the Tribulation Venerables of the Upper World for them to enjoy … I heard that the souls of barbarian fish are extremely delicious. Unfortunately, our status is too low and we don't have the chance to enjoy them …"
The words of the tribulation envoys were heard by countless barbarian fish who had a blank expression on their faces.
The barbarian fish in the pond had already succumbed to their fate. They had long forgotten how to resist.
The grand formation of the tribulation pond would kill thousands of barbarian fish every day. Even though there were many barbarian fish in the pond, they would all be eliminated one day.
In order to survive, the only way was to escape from the grand formation of the tribulation pond. There were many barbarian fish who tried to escape from the formation but none of them could break the formation's light.
All of the barbarian fish who tried to escape were already dead … Now, no barbarian fish dared to escape from the formation. All of them were struggling to survive.
The barbarian fish that Ning Fan had transformed into was also trapped in the tribulation pond. Unlike the other barbarian fish, Ning Fan was naturally unwilling to wait for death in the pond.
Even though transforming into a barbarian fish was just an illusion, Ning Fan's main body would also be implicated if his fish body dies in the illusion.
Ning Fan tried to break free from the illusion as soon as he entered it. If he wants to return to his body, he must break free from the blood pond …
"Am I trapped by the illusion again … Last time, I broke free from the purple lock and disrupted the will of the True Illusion River. I seized the opportunity to strip away one third of the Dao Illusion. This time, if I can break free again, I might be able to disrupt the will of the river again … "
"The thing that imprisons my mind is this grand formation of the tribulation pond. If I break this formation, I will be able to break free!"
