Within the space of the copper pagoda, Ning Fan found a place to enter seclusion to stabilize Jie Xue's cultivation base. This seclusion lasted for nine years.
During these nine years, Miao Yan often came to Ning Fan's place for seclusion to ask about his recent situation. She was very concerned about him who suddenly went into seclusion.
Nine years' time was enough for Miao Yan to figure out some things, namely that Ning Fan was not an expert who could go against Saints as she had imagined him to be.
When he met Miao Yan again, Ning Fan had already put on the ghost mask again. Even so, Miao Yan could still see some clues from their daily interactions.
During the nine years that he spent stabilizing his Jie Xue cultivation base, Ning Fan's qi fluctuated between high and low. When it was high, it was even comparable to the First Tribulation Immortal Venerated. When it was low, it was just like a Mid True Crossing Realm junior … This was really strange.
Miao Yan could not figure out Ning Fan's true cultivation base. However, she could tell that no matter how high Ning Fan's cultivation base was, it would not surpass the first eternal tribulation. At most, he would be a First Tribulation Immortal Venerable …
"Could it be that Fellow Daoist Zhao's true cultivation base is the same as mine? Both of us are only at the first Immortal Calamity … If that's the case, how did he kill thousands of Immortal Venerable corpses with a single sword strike? Did he use some kind of secret technique? In the Cultivation World, is there such a secret technique that allows one to fight against ten thousand? "
I can't figure it out …
However, Miao Yan did not probe further. Everyone had their own secrets. Ning Fan had saved her several times and she would not purposely pry into his secrets.
It had been ten years since the two of them entered the copper pagoda with the eyeball monster.
Coincidentally, the space of this copper pagoda could only last for ten years. Not long after Ning Fan came out from his seclusion, the entire space of the copper pagoda showed signs of collapsing.
"Stinking brat, you've finally come out! Hmm? Your aura seems to have improved a lot … "
"Since that's the case, let's change to another copper pagoda. I'll help you complete the last step of bloodline fusion!"
With a flash of grey light, the strange eyeball appeared in front of Ning Fan. Its eyes scrutinized Ning Fan for a long time. In the end, it brought Ning Fan and Miao Yan away from the space of the copper tower and returned to the outside world.
Not long after everyone exited the tower, a cracking sound could be heard. Countless cracks appeared on the copper pagoda as it had used up all of its power. The space within it was also completely destroyed, making it impossible to enter.
Ning Fan thought to himself. If I use up all the time within the copper pagoda, it will be destroyed, huh?
After destroying one pagoda, there were still 20 unsealed copper pagodas left.
This time, the eyeball monster brought Ning Fan and Miao Yan to the front of a ten-floored copper pagoda. Ning Fan glanced at it and saw a row of Divine Seal Characters carved on the door of the copper pagoda.
"Sealed within this pagoda for a hundred years."
The nine levels of the pagoda were sealed for ten years, and the ten levels were sealed for a hundred years.
That handwriting still carried the domineering intent of looking down on the entire world. However, this time, Ning Fan had already become the Barbarian God. When he looked at those words again, he was actually not afraid of the terrifying aura force contained within them at all.
He was already the God of the Barbarian Tribe and possessed the might of the thirty-six Punishment Mountains. Now, he could easily suppress most of the Second Step Barbarian Cultivators with the power of Punishment. Even though the power of punishment could not harm any race other than those who were Berserker Cultivators, it had a strong resistance against the pressure from the outside world.
Perhaps this line of words was really left behind by the Great Emperor of Mourning Death who looked down upon the entire world. However, as long as this aura force was still limited to the Second Step, Ning Fan would not be intimidated at all!
The eyeball monster brought the two of them into the bronze pagoda. Miao Yan's injuries had yet to fully recover after staying in the bronze pagoda for ten years. Thus, she had to find a place to go into seclusion to recuperate.
Ning Fan, on the other hand, was different. He was brought to a desolate desert within the space of the bronze pagoda by the eyeball monster.
Above the desert, smoke rose up to the clouds. There were also scattered pyramids scattered on the desert. Outside those pyramids, there were many ancient statues with the bodies of sphinxes and human faces.
Ning Fan felt that this scene was very familiar. It was as if he had seen it somewhere before.
That's right. I've seen it before during the Great Calamity of Sen Luo. It was the scenery of the Quicksand Star Region.
Ning Fan still remembered that he had comprehended a trace of the Great Dao of Time in the Quicksand Star Region. It was the power to control time.
He was still there, refining a fragment of the Yin Fusion Pearl. He remembered that it was the tenth Yin Fusion Pearl, the strongest among the ten Yin Fusion Pearls …
What was different from the Quicksand Star Region was that the pyramids here were all empty. They did not exist in temples.
"The power of time in this place is very strong … This place wasn't originally a desert … It's the power of the Dao Law of Time that changed the landscape of this place …" Ning Fan muttered to himself. He gently closed his eyes. He could feel the breathing of the Dao Law between the mountains and seas.
The Dao Law could also breathe. Everything was alive … This was the world in the eyes of barbarians.
When Ning Fan closed his eyes, he seemed to be able to see the changes in the landscape of this place. Once, there were mountains and seas in this place.
There was once a powerful cultivator who had comprehended the Dao Law of Time in this place. When he had a slight comprehension, the vast ocean turned into mulberry fields. The land turned into quicksand at his fingertips with just a thought …
Who was that powerful cultivator? He had no way of knowing. Perhaps, he was the Great Emperor Dao Wang that the eyeball monster mentioned.
"Alright, alright. What's so interesting about a barren desert? Stop looking. Let's get down to business. Come out, [Small Memorial Archway]! "
The eyeball monster shot out a ray of grey light. After the grey light faded, a seven hundred zhang * tall stone archway appeared in the desert out of nowhere. It had four pillars and three doors. It had the texture of white jade in the mortal world. It was round and smooth but it did not look like an ordinary stone. It gave off a strong immortal qi.
In the Cultivation World, memorial archways were very common. Some large sects loved to build such archways outside their mountain gates to suppress the spiritual qi of the sect.
Even in the mortal world, such buildings could often be seen outside many tombs and temples.
However, the archway in front of them did not look like the archways of ordinary sects. Faintly, it gave off a trace of Innate Qi.
A mere stone archway was actually an Innate Magic Treasure! This eyeball monster's wealth was indeed very rich. Sure enough, the small iron cage was not the only Innate Magic Treasure.
However, this name is really unpleasant to the ears … Small iron cage and Small Memorial Archway. What kind of lousy names are these …
"Qian, Zhen, Kan, Gen, Kun, Xun, Li, Dui …" The eyeball monster chanted a divination incantation. Then, the stone archway lit up with rays of treasure light.
The treasure light spread widely enough to envelop the entire space of the copper pagoda.
As a result, all the spiritual qi in the space of the copper pagoda was forcibly gathered by the stone archway. Its effect was more domineering than any Spirit Gathering Formation.
"This treasure can absorb spiritual qi from all directions for my use. If you establish a sect and set up this treasure in your sect, the effect of your disciples' cultivation will definitely increase by more than ten times. Hehe. This magical treasure is not bad, isn't it? "The eyeball monster proudly showed off.
It's indeed not bad, but it's not very useful … Ning Fan thought to himself.
In the Cultivation World, there were not many people who were willing to absorb the spiritual qi of Heaven and Earth to cultivate. It was fine for low-grade cultivators, but if those high-grade cultivators only went into seclusion, they might not be able to advance a small realm even after thousands of years. Only by relying on external resources could they quickly improve their cultivation base.
Of course, this did not mean that meditation was not important. Naturally, there would be great risks if one wanted to compete for opportunities in the Cultivation World. There were plenty of powerful cultivators who were willing to spend a million years in seclusion. If he has this treasure, he would only need one hundred thousand years to achieve the same result. This item was not completely useless.
Of course, if Ning Fan establishes a certain force, this item would be even more useful. It could strengthen all the disciples of his sect and speed up their cultivation. Hmm … If this item is placed in the Profound Yin World and given to the human cauldrons, it should be able to make their cultivation base skyrocket …
If it was in the past, the improvement of the cultivation base of the human cauldrons would not bring much benefit to Ning Fan. But now …
Ning Fan looked at the Inverse Relic in his dantian and his eyes flashed with an undetectable light. Perhaps this stone archway will also be of great use …
"Alright. I have already gathered the spiritual qi from all directions. It shouldn't be difficult for me to help you fuse the four types of bloodlines."
The eyeball monster displayed its ability confidently. The entire desert was instantly shrouded by layers of grey light. No one could see what was happening inside.
Time passed by slowly. One day passed. Two days passed … In the blink of an eye, one month had passed.
The grey light on the desert gradually dispersed. It had only been a month but the eyeball monster seemed to have exhausted a lot of its energy. Its expression was no longer as confident as before. Instead, it was filled with dejection.
"I can't fuse them! I can't fuse them at all! It's actually so difficult! This won't do. Your Jie Xue is too domineering … "
"Let me take a rest first. Then, we will try again!"
The eyeball monster rested for a few days before it recovered to its peak state. Then, it displayed its ability again, causing the grey light to envelop the entire land. In the blink of an eye, three months had passed.
"I failed again! I don't believe it. Let's try one more time! "
Six months had passed …
"I still can't fuse them! Let's try again! "
Three years had passed …
"Damn it! Ancient Chaos is a liar! Didn't he say that fusing the bloodlines is easy? Why is it so difficult?!"
After failing countless times, the eyeball monster finally lost his temper and began to curse Ancient Chaos.
The eyeball monster had seen Ancient Chaos before. He even heard about the past of Ancient Chaos who had fused the bloodlines of the ancient god, ancient demon and ancient devil.
The process of Ancient Chaos's bloodline fusion was not difficult. Thus, the eyeball monster mistakenly thought that it would not be too difficult for Ning Fan to fuse four types of bloodlines.
Unfortunately, he had completely underestimated the difficulty of Ning Fan fusing four types of bloodlines!
If Ning Fan only had these three bloodlines, it would not be difficult for him to fuse them. After all, the power of these three bloodlines came from the same source. All of them were the power of the Defying Earth Realm.
However, Ning Fan had the power of the Tai Cang Jie Ling in his body. It was a power that belonged to the Mortal World which was incompatible with the power of the Defying Earth Realm!
"Damn it. Let's try again …"
The eyeball monster wanted to pull Ning Fan to fuse his bloodlines again. However, Ning Fan refused with a bitter smile.
"There's no need. I have already figured out the reason why I can't fuse my bloodlines. With the current condition of my bloodlines, I'm afraid the result will be the same even if I try one thousand times or ten thousand times. I will still fail. Now is not the right time to fuse the four types of bloodlines … "
In the end, the eyeball monster left reluctantly. It went to find a place to rest in seclusion and replenish the primordial qi that it had consumed in the past few years.
As for Ning Fan, he sat cross-legged on the desert. He looked at the four types of bloodlines in his body with a solemn expression.
To the inheritor of Ancient Chaos, fusing bloodlines was extremely important. Different bloodlines would more or less repel and restrain each other.
The four types of bloodlines were like four countries that had joined forces. They were united in name but they were not united after all. Only when they were truly united could they unleash their greatest power.
If Ning Fan could fuse the four types of bloodlines, he would no longer be a divine cultivator, a devil cultivator, a demon cultivator or a tribulation cultivator. There would only be one type of cultivation base in his body which included the bloodlines of the four races. His strength would be greatly improved.
Unfortunately, even with the help of the eyeball monster, the fusion of the bloodlines still failed.
"There are three reasons why I can't fuse the four types of bloodlines. Firstly, there is a huge barrier between the power of the Mortal World and the Defying Earth Realm which makes it difficult for them to coexist. In order to break this barrier, I need some external forces … "
The Ancient Returning Fruit suddenly appeared in Ning Fan's mind.
It was not the first time he heard that this fruit had the miraculous effect of fusing bloodlines. Even a cultivator who had never cultivated the Yin Yang Transformation could fuse many types of bloodlines with this fruit.
If he could find some Ancient Returning Fruits, he might be able to break the barrier between the bloodlines of the Divine, Demon and Devil Race and the Tribulation Bloodline.
"Secondly, the divine, demon and devil bloodlines are too weak while the tribulation bloodline is too strong. I'm afraid that only when the four types of bloodlines achieve a balance in power can the fusion be completed …"
The tribulation bloodline was already very strong. Next, he needed to focus on cultivating the bloodlines of the divine, demon and devil races.
"Thirdly, I have yet to see the essence of the four races' bloodlines clearly. The difference between the bloodlines of the four races is ultimately due to the difference in the Dao. The divine cultivates their heart, the demon cultivates their spirit and the devil cultivates their blood. The heart, spirit and blood are just the surface. The real difference is the difference in their views towards the Dao … Moreover, the understanding of the Dao of the Tribulation Spirit is completely different from the three races … "
From different perspectives, one would see the world differently. This was something Ning Fan understood after learning the Mountain and Sea Incantation.
There was still a long way to go before he could fuse the bloodlines of the four races. There was no need for him to be anxious. With Ning Fan's current abilities, he was quite confident in killing Yin Mo. Of course, it would be best if he could improve his cultivation base to the next level.
Ning Fan had a large number of heavenly ingredients and earthly treasures that could improve his cultivation base. However, he needed a lot of time to devour and refine them.
He had cultivated the Yin Yang Rain and the Yin Yang Battle but he had yet to complete the last step of the Chaotic Loop Art – completely devouring and absorbing the power of the two great yin and yang to improve his cultivation base.
Now that he had the Sealed Time Tower, he had sufficient time to complete the cultivation that he could not complete in the past.
Unfortunately, before Ning Fan could start his cultivation, Candle Bow's incessant chatter resounded in his mind.
"Master, let me out. I can't take it anymore. I want to take revenge on that eyeball monster!"
"Master, my wise master. Your Little Bow is being bullied. How can you remain indifferent? That eyeball monster is not bullying me. It is slapping your face! "
"Slapping Master's face is the same as slapping Little Bow's face. I can't take it anymore. I really can't! Little Bow is bold enough to challenge Master to battle. I must teach that damn eyeball monster a lesson and help Master vent his anger! "
You just want to vent your anger for yourself, don't you … Ning Fan shook his head.
At first, he wanted to punish Candle Bow properly and make it shut up. However, after thinking for a while, it did not seem like a bad idea to let Candle Bow suffer some losses in front of the eyeball monster. This Candle Bow indeed needed some fixing.
"Are you sure you want to fight that eyeball monster?"
Ning Fan bent his palm and took out Candle Bow. He asked with a profound tone. "Yes.
I'm very sure! It's just a broken eyeball. How dare it lock me in the smelting furnace and almost melt me … Humph! That damn eyeball! Wise and great Master, please give Little Bow a chance to take revenge! "Candle Bow said angrily." Fine.
If you want to go, then go. I won't stop you. "Ning Fan loosened his grip.
"Thank you for your kindness, Master! Master, you are really good to me. You are even willing to agree to such an unreasonable request. Little Bow's heart was really clouded by lard and my eyes were blind to betray you in the past. Hehe. Little Bow will go and find that eyeball monster to deal with. Master, please wait for my good news! "
Candle Bow was overjoyed. As Ning Fan loosened his grip, it directly turned into a ray of light and flew away ferociously. It was going to find trouble with the eyeball monster.
This Candle Bow is really stupid. It doesn't know that the eyeball monster has a Seven Tribulation Immortal Emperor Realm cultivation base. With its strength, provoking it at its doorstep is simply courting death …
It will probably be taught a terrible lesson … Maybe it will be more obedient after that.
As Candle Bow left, the place returned to its usual tranquility. Ning Fan closed his eyes. His body was gradually covered with a layer of wet rain qi.
Gradually, the entire desert was filled with dark clouds. Not long after that, a drizzle fell from the sky.
The Rain Star on Ning Fan's glabella shone with a strange light. At this moment, it was unsealed on its own.
Ever since Ning Fan cultivated the Yin Yang Rain, his cultivation base would skyrocket once the seal was unsealed.
Ancient Chaos had once said that if he had the strength of a Late True Crossing Realm expert, he could completely absorb and refine the power of the Yin Yang Rain, allowing his cultivation base to skyrocket to the peak of the True Crossing Realm. At that time, the Yin Yang Rain would not need to be unsealed again and again. Instead, it would directly turn into Ning Fan's cultivation base.
Even though the current Ning Fan was not a Late True Crossing Realm cultivator, he was a Tribulation Spirit with Three Stars True Blood.
In terms of Tribulation Spirit's cultivation base alone, he was completely comparable to an Immortal Venerable who had experienced the first tribulation since the ancient times. It was not difficult for him to absorb the power of the Yin Yang Rain!
"This hundred-year-old copper tower can still stay for another ninety-six years. I wonder if it is enough for me to absorb all the power of the Yin Yang Rain …"
Ning Fan's entire body became more and more blurry, as if he had merged with the curtain of rain.
In the blink of an eye, ninety-six years had passed.
When the hundred-year-old copper tower was on the verge of collapse, Ning Fan walked out from the curtain of rain. His aura had obviously changed.
He was clearly standing there. However, those whose cultivation base was lower than his could only sense a misty drizzle when they scanned this place with their spirit sense. They could not detect his presence at all.
After ninety-six years of bitter cultivation, Ning Fan had only absorbed one-third of the power of the Yin Yang Rain.
Even so, with just one-third of the power of the Yin Yang Rain, Ning Fan's Ancient God Realm rose from the Mid True Crossing Realm to the Late True Crossing Realm!
If he absorbs all the power of the Yin Yang Rain, it should not be difficult for him to break through to the Peak True Crossing Realm!
"Ninety-six years is not enough. I need at least another two hundred years to finish devouring the Yin Yang Rain …"
It should be enough to enter two more hundred-year-old towers.
"Master, save me! Master, my good master … Ah! You actually let your dog bite me! You despicable eyeball! Ah! "
Suddenly, Candle Bow's miserable cry for help was heard from afar.
Ning Fan looked towards the direction of the voice and saw the scene of Candle Bow in his human form being chased by a group of giant silver wolves.
If one takes a closer look, they would realize that those giant wolves were all puppet beasts. They were not living beings. When they were chasing after Candle Bow, they did not have much killing intent. Instead, they seemed to be toying with him.
"Hehe. Go ahead and scream. Even if you scream until your throat breaks, no one will come to save you." The eyeball followed behind the group of wolves with a wretched smile.
Speaking of which, when Candle Bow first came to pick a fight with Ning Fan, he was easily subdued by the eyeball monster. Since then, he had been locked in the cave and was tortured by the eyeball monster. This trial lasted for ninety-six years.
Ninety-six years! It was not easy for him to escape from the cave of the eyeball monster but he was chased by a group of wolves again … Candle Bow wanted to cry but had no tears. He really regretted finding trouble with the eyeball monster in the past. This eyeball monster was too powerful. He could not afford to provoke it at all!
"Hehe. I've caught you! What a torturous little demon. Unfortunately, you are a little lacking in training. Hehe. Let this old man teach you a lesson on behalf of your master! Don't worry. It won't hurt this time. "Being surrounded by the wolves, the eyeball monster quickly grabbed Candle Bow. His laughter became even more wretched.
"No. No … Master, save me. His brain is not normal. He … He … He …" Candle Bow desperately cried for help like a young girl who was being bullied …
What have these two fellows been doing all these years … Ning Fan's forehead was full of black lines.
I feel that Candle Bow has left a huge psychological shadow in my heart. Is it my illusion …?
