Mei Chen was still asleep. Ning Fan, on the other hand, went inside the Yuan Yao World and entered the dark golden pagoda.
On the seventh floor of the pagoda, Ning Fan summoned ninety-nine natal black stars with a wave of his hand and basked under the starlight that filled the sky.
Then, he consumed a Sixth Revolution vulnerary pill and closed his eyes to begin the long recovery session.
Only after sitting inside the dark golden pagoda for three years did his injuries be fully healed. In the outside world, only half a month passed.
Ning Fan slowly let out a deep breath and opened his eyes. His black eyes were like two endless abysses. Not a single hint of emotion was visible on his face.
He recalled killing Bone Sovereign half a month ago and felt like it was a dream.
“Bone Sovereign was a strong enemy as well as the first Void Fragmentation Realm expert that I killed with my own capabilities. However, he definitely isn’t the last one… Even though Void Fragmentation Realm experts are strong as they are the strongest beings in the First Step of Cultivation, they can still be killed! Han Nietian, I’m gradually approaching your level …”
Ning Fan closed his eyes and inspected his body internally. He discovered that his baleful qi intensified by a great deal again.
Even though Bone Sovereign committed suicide, his death was due to the battle with Ning Fan. Thus, Ning Fan more or less would be stained with some baleful qi.
All of a sudden, he remembered a common saying from the mortal realm and seemed to gain an enlightenment.
‘I don’t kill Bo Ren but Bo Ren died because of me…’ Getting affected by baleful qi after killing someone. The ultimate principle of karma actually lies within it.
“Karma… If I can sever the karma, I can then prevent myself from being affected by the baleful qi after killing someone… When I broke through to the Void Glimpse Stage last time, the reason why I would be attacked by Giant Zhi Huo was because I’ve taken too many lives in my life and gained too much baleful qi…”
“In the Four Heavens, those true immortals and immortal emperors probably are unable to avoid conflicts and fights. When they fight, stars will be destroyed and millions upon millions will die. The number of people they’ve killed must be countless times more than mine… However, they aren’t banished by the Heavenly Dao. I suppose many of them possess the methods to sever the karma and avoid the baleful qi.”
Ning Fan muttered to himself. He was just thinking about these things and did not actually have the thoughts about erasing his baleful qi.
His baleful qi all originated from the killings he had committed in the past. However, he never regretted the lives he had taken. Thus, there was no need for him to hide it.
“The path that I’ve walked is my Dao. There is no need to regret it.”
He slowly readjusted his thoughts and began inspecting his storage pouch. He gained many spoils from the battle.
Five million Gold Core Realm sense beads, five thousand Divine Transformation Realm sense beads, twelve Void Refinement Realm sense beads and one Fifth Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm sense bead…
There were plenty of broken magic treasures as well as magic treasures that still remained intact. Besides, the countless ragged storage pouches were filed with innumerable spiritual herbs that had grown in the Seventh Region for countless years.
Ning Fan scanned across them and made a rough estimation. Just one hundred thousand years old spiritual herbs alone, there were fifty tufts of them among this batch of spiritual herbs. Apart from that, there were three thousand plus tufts of fifty thousand years old spiritual herbs, seventy thousand plus tufts of ten thousand spiritual herbs and an inestimable amount of one thousand years old spiritual herbs…
These spiritual herbs were more than enough for Ning Fan to spend them lavishly.
What intrigued Ning Fan the most was none other than the items he obtained from Bone Sovereign.
Other than the golden pen, he had even gloriously seized Bone Sovereign’s storage pouch.
There were indeed many excellent items inside that pouch. There was even a Low Grade Seventh Revolution vulnerary pill.
After giving it some thought, Ning Fan eventually decided to save this pill for Mei Chen to eat.
Even though Mei Chen needed to consume at least a High Grave Seventh Revolution vulnerary pill in order to be fully recovered, this Low Grade Seventh Revolution pill was still quite useful to her recovery.
Aside from the pill, there were also many other pills in the pouch.
In fact, there were four ghost sense beads at the First Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm.
Ning Fan guessed that these four Void Fragmentation Realm sense beads must be something that Bone Sovereign obtained when he ruled over the Seventh Region in the past.
It was imaginable how terrifying the massacre which Bone Sovereign had committed in the Seventh Region in the past as he even killed four Void Fragmentation Realm ghosts…
After keeping the spiritual herbs and sense beads, Ning Fan’s gaze fell upon the golden pen and the Earth Blazing Flame.
The Earth Blazing Flame was originally attached to the golden pen which Bone Sovereign chanced upon at the entrance of the Eighth Region.
The number-one Heavenly Cold Qi and Earth Vein Demonic Flames were actually attached to this golden pen by someone… What exactly is the origin of this golden pen?
It’s a golden pen that an immortal has used before. It isn’t a high-graded magic treasure in the first place. However, after infusing it with the cold qi and spiritual flame, its power was activated, enabling it to produce golden runes with unfathomable power to attack the user’s enemies. It’s indeed an unusual weapon.
“Little You Er, do you remember where this golden pen comes from?”
“Let me think about it carefully…” In the Profound Yin World, Luo You was locked in contemplation. She rarely behaved like him.
She flipped through the memories within her mind. She just felt that she had heard about this golden pen somewhere before but she could not remember it at the moment.
When her eyes shifted to the Earth Blazing Flame and Mending Heavenly Heart, that piece of information suddenly rose within her mind!
“Heavenly Cold Qi and Earth Vein Demonic Flames… That’s it! This is one of the rune pens of the Golden Rune Palace!”
“Golden Rune Palace?” It was Ning Fan’s first time hearing that name.
“Golden Rune Palace is an ancient force located in the Southern Heaven Immortal World. It was annihilated by someone tens of millions of years ago. That’s why I couldn’t recall it just now… I only managed to remember it when I noticed the heavenly cold qi and earth flame.”
Luo You paused for a while as if she was trying to dig out her past memories. After a while, she continued, “Golden Rune Palace is a sect of rune cultivation. The members of the sect were skilled in creating and drawing runes. Every one of them had a golden pen. It isn’t just an item for creating runes but also the identity tokens of the members of the Golden Rune Palace. They wouldn’t be able to enter the historical remains of the Golden Rune Palace if they didn’t have the golden pen with them… Trying looking at this golden pen. Does it have a name and position?”
Upon hearing what Luo You’s said, Ning Fan carefully scrutinized the golden pen. Then, he saw some ancient inscriptions at one end of the pen.
“Deacon of the Golden Rune Palace’s Treasury – Zhuo Jie…” Ning Fan uttered.
“*Chuckle* My younger brother surely has great luck. Even though the Golden Rune Palace was annihilated, there were still one hundred and eight treasuries that remained sealed in its historical remains. If you ascend to the Southern Heaven Immortal World one day and head to the historical remains of the Golden Rune Palace, you can take out the treasures in the treasury which Zhuo Jie guarded in the past. That is a treasury that an immortal looked after. I suppose there are many excellent items there.” Luo You chuckled as she spoke.
“Other than acting as a magic treasure that produces runes, what else can this golden pen do? In that case, if I have a chance to head to the Southern Heaven Immortal World, I’ll really need to pay a visit to the Golden Rune Palace.” Ning Fan nodded and said.
“It’ll be better for you to possess a cultivation base at the True Immortal Realm if you really want to go to the Golden Rune Palace… The waters in that place are quite murky. You might end up dead in the historical remains if your cultivation base is weak. Do you know why the Golden Rune Palace was annihilated in the past?” Luo You stopped smiling and said with a serious expression.
“Why?”
“The progenitor of that Golden Rune Palace was the painter of the second painting out of the four ancient paintings! The reason why the Golden Rune Palace was annihilated was because it carried the secrets of the four ancient paintings!”
“The four ancient paintings again?” Ning Fan sounded surprised.
“All the four ancient paintings are specially created and they contain the Great Dao… The first painting out of the four is called the ‘Immemorial Fisherman’s Mino Painting’. It contains the ‘Great Dao of Life and Death’. If you obtain the Immemorial Fisherman’s Mino Painting at your current level and comprehend the Dao of Life and Death within it, seeing through life and death, ascending to the heavens and becoming an immortal to you will be as easy as lifting your hands!”
“The second ancient painting is called ‘Golden Sky Black Earth Painting’. It contains the Great Dao of Yin and Yang and it can help a true immortal to see through yin and yang and the true and the false, enabling them to fully grasp the truth of cultivation. This will in turn provide them a chance to become an immortal emperor! Of course, since you are a cultivator of the Yin Yang Transformation, if you obtain the Golden Sky Black Earth Painting, it will surely be greatly beneficial to your cultivation.”
Luo You sighed gently. She also tried to search for the Golden Sky Black Earth Painting in the past. If she were to have gotten the painting, she would not have needed to settle for the second best option which was by cultivating the Yin Yang Transformation in order to get her revenge.
“One who obtains the Immemorial Fisherman’s Mino Painting will be able to ascend to the heavens and become an immortal? One who obtains the Golden Sky Black Earth Painting will be able to become an immortal emperor?”
Ning Fan felt slightly surprised. The Immemorial Fisherman’s Mino Painting sounded still reasonable. The Golden Sky Black Earth Painting, on the other hand, definitely could make countless true immortals fight over it just for obtaining the chance to become an immortal emperor!
Could the reason why the Golden Rune Palace was annihilated had nothing to do with the members of the palace but merely because they possessed the secret…?
Moreover, since it was unknown where the Golden Sky Black Earth Painting is currently, many True Immortals would probably be targeting the historical ruins of the Golden Rune Palace.
The golden pen in Ning Fan’s hands was a key that could unlock one of the one hundred and eight treasuries. If some true immortals find out about it, would they try to seize it from him forcibly…?
“That is to say that, it’ll be inappropriate to show it to anyone if it’s unnecessary, right?” Ning Fan asked.
“Yes. Keep this pen first for now. It is indeed a strong magic treasure as it can draw and produce golden runes. However, it’s involved with the secrets of the four ancient paintings. It’s best not to use it randomly.” Luo You said.
“I understood. I’ll just keep it properly for now. As for the Golden Rune Palace… I’ll visit it if I have the chance in the future. If I don’t have a sufficient cultivation base, I don’t want to go to the Golden Rune Palace to get myself killed…”
Ning Fan took out the cold qi from the golden pen and stashed it into his pouch.
Looking at the floating golden spiritual flame and black cold qi in front of him, one corner of Ning Fan’s lips curved upward.
“After devouring the two masses of cold qi and spiritual flame, I’ll have the complete collections of the twenty-four types of heavenly cold qi and earth flames. The grade of the Yin Yang Devil Flame from the combination of all the flames will probably be equivalent to a High-Level Seventh Grade Immortal Void Flame. Be it pill refinement or magic technique, it was extremely beneficial.
Ning Fan calmed his mind down and began assimilating the last two types of heavenly cold qi and earth flame.
While he was slowly refining the Earth Blazing Flame and Mending Heavenly Heart, the left part of his body felt like it was burning as raging golden flames rose whereas the right part of his body seemed to have frozen as it became a black ice statue.
Another six months passed on the seventh floor of the dark golden pagoda. Ning Fan suddenly opened his eyes. Everything, be it the golden flame or the black ice, was absorbed into his body.
He then rose to his feet and abruptly raised his hand. A mass of fear-inducing black flames floated on the center of his palm.
The black flames were clearly the combination of countless low-grade spiritual flames and cold qi. However, its power was comparable to that of a High-Level Seventh Grade Immortal Void Flame!
One has to know that even Pill Sovereign only possessed one-fourth of the Pure Yang Flame and it was just equivalent to a Mid-Level Seventh Grade flame.
After combining all the heavenly cold qi and earth flames that he had gathered, the grade of Ning Fan’s flame was much higher than Pill Sovereign’s!
“Next, it’s time to repair the puppet, Zhi Huo.”
Ning Fan kept the black flames into his body and took out a fiery-red figurine that was riddled with holes from his pouch.
Looking at the serious damage which the figurine had taken, Ning Fan could not help but smile bitterly.
Bone Sovereign really was strong and formidable. Even though his cultivation base had fallen to the First Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm, he could still nearly destroy Giant Zhi Huo with a single attack.
If he were at his peak, I’m afraid he wouldn’t be any weaker than Moksha Sovereign.
“Fortunately, the puppet wasn’t completely destroyed. There are still chances to repair it. However, the immortal jade required to repair a Void Fragmentation Realm puppet isn’t a small figure…”
After Ning Fan had given several billion immortal jade to the people of the Yellow Spring Demon City to defend their city, he did not have much immortal jade left.
Even so, he still had Dao Crystals which were equivalent to tens of billions of immortal jades. Hence, they were more than enough to repair a Void Fragmentation Realm puppet.
“Let’s begin…”
Ning Fan tossed the figurine into the air and it grew immediately, turning into a ten thousand zhang* (3.33m per zhang) tall fire giant.
Afterward, Ning Fan started to establish the grand formation for repairing a puppet on the ground, surrounding the giant’s body.
Doubtlessly, it would take quite some time for him to repair Giant Zhi Huo.
…
Ning Fan had spent almost four years in the dark golden pagoda. In the outside world, only half a month had passed.
Mei Chen had already woken up during this period of time.
Clad with an unlined garment, she sat at the head of her bed, staring at the light evening rain outside the window.
She still remembered how shocking she felt the moment she heard of Bone Sovereign’s death after she woke up half a month ago!
“This stinky man… Even though he’s a shameless man, he’s risked his life to fight Bone Sovereign for me and the Yellow Spring Demon City… Why is he so nice to me…?”
“He clearly is just at the Void Glimpse Stage. Wasn’t he scared to fight a Void Fragmentation Realm expert?”
Now, Mei Chen’s injuries were already stabilized fully and she had recovered her cultivation base at the First Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm. However, if she wants to regain her power at the Third Heavenly Layer, she must consume a High Grade Seventh Revolution pill.
Mu Xiaoliang was keeping Mei Chen company by her side. After hearing Mei Chen heave a sigh, she rested her chin on her hands, looking rapt and touched.
“Elder Sister Mei Chen, Ning Fan is very nice to us. What should we do in order to repay him?”
“Indeed. How should we repay him? Is it possible that I really have to be his demon pet to repay him?” As soon as Mei Chen thought of that idea, chills immediately ran across her body.
“Bah. I’d rather die than be his demon pet!!!”
When Mei Chen was muttering to herself, a voice suddenly resounded from outside, making fun of her.
“Little Black, you’ve become disobedient again. If you don’t be my demon pet, whose demon pet do you want to be? I’m going to be angry if you become someone else’s demon pet.”
Wearing a set of white robes, Ning Fan walked into the room with his lips curving upwards.
After leaving the Yuan Yao World, he had already taken away all the sense beads in the Yellow Spring Demon City. Only then did he come to visit her in a leisurely mood.
As soon as they saw Ning Fan, Mu Xiaoliang became so shy that her face instantly blushed while Mei Chen’s cheeks turned so black like the bottom of a pan.
“I’ll not be your demon pet even if I die!”
“Why do you hate me so much?” Ning Fan continued teasing her.
“It’s a must! You’re too shameless!” Mei Chen answered straightforwardly.
“Is that so? So it turns out that you aren’t willing to be my demon pet. Now it really gives me a headache… Originally, I thought of a method that could directly bring you and Weiliang out of the Demon Sinister Forest and let both of you see the world of the living. However, you aren’t willing to be my demon pet. In that case, I can’t bring you out with me…” Ning Fan deliberately sighed dejectedly.
“What?! Do you actually have a method to enable the ghosts and demons in the Demon Sinister Forest to leave this place?! How is this possible?!”
Mei Chen was shocked. The Demon Sinister Forest was a land of Nine Yin and it was a nether world where the ghosts and souls resided. The ghosts in the nether world could not go to the living world outside. Otherwise, they would certainly turn into ashes and die.
Even if they were brought out by hiding within a heavenly dwelling space, they could only stay within that space and never leave it.
Even if Bone Sovereign wanted to exit the Demon Sinister Forest, he also needed to take great pains in order to condense a true soul clone…
Now, Ning Fan was saying that he actually had a way to directly bring ghosts out of the Demon Sinister Forest. This was really too unthinkable.
Mei Chen certainly would not believe it if it were someone else who told her that. However, Ning Fan never made an empty promise. If he said he had a way, then he really must have one.
Dear God, Mei Chen really wanted to leave the Demon Sinister Forest to see the world outside. She yearned for this chance more than those ghosts in the forest.
In the entire Demon Sinister Forest, she was the only demon creature – netherworld sable. She enhanced her cultivation through devouring ghosts. Unlike the other ghosts who had died once and seen the beautiful and dazzling world outside, Mei Chen had never left this spooky and foul forest for her entire life!
She really wanted to go out and see the world. However, when she heard Ning Fan’s tone that sounded like he was threatening and tempting her at the same time, she felt especially discontented.
Obviously, Ning Fan was using her desire to get out of the forest as a condition to make her surrender willingly and be his demon pet. It made her feel particularly unhappy because she did not like being threatened.
Mei Chen gritted her silver tenth and glared at Ning Fan angrily.
“Are you threatening me?! If I refuse to be your demon pet, you won’t bring me out of the Demon Sinister Forest forever, right?! You’re shameless!”
Ning Fan sighed and shook his head. He was just joking with Mei Chen.
“I was just kidding. I’ve obtained an ancient pill recipe. It’s for refining a Low Grade Sixth Revolution pill called True Yang Pill. It’s specially meant for ghosts like you. Once a ghost consumes it, it allows them to condense some Yang Qi within them. Even if they leave the Demon Sinister Forest, they will certainly not vanish into ashes.”
“I’ll naturally be extremely happy if you agree to be my demon pet. If you aren’t, I won’t force you either. For the sake of our friendship, I’ll help you concoct this kind of pill no matter what. However, if I bring you out of Demon Sinister Forest, I hope that you can promise me one thing – help me protect my family… As an exchange, I’ll find ways to help you search for a High Grade Seventh Revolution vulnerary pill which will heal your injuries completely, enabling you to regain your cultivation base at the Third Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm…”
“I’ll go and have a look around the Seventh Region. Have some rest…”
Ning Fan let out a gentle sigh and turned around to leave the room, walking toward the light evening rain.
Mei Chen looked stunned. All of a sudden, a hint of emptiness filled her heart.
Somehow, when Ning Fan talked to her like he was dealing and pleading to her, she actually felt downcast and distant from him.
She was rather Ning Fan behaving shamelessly toward her and teasing her playfully than being cool to her…
If I knew that it would be so upsetting, I’d directly promise him to be his demon pet!
“Stinky man! If I refuse to be your demon pet, won’t you beg me to do so…?” Mei Chen muttered and gently bit her lips.
Mu Xiaoliang looked at Mei Chen in confusion. She did not understand why she would sigh disappointedly.
“Shouldn’t Elder Mei Chen be happy since she can leave the Demon Sinister Forest without needing to be Ning Fan’s demon pet? Why would he sigh? I really don’t understand it…”
Based on Mu Xiaoliang’s pure and naïve intelligence, she was unable to understand a woman’s complex emotions.
…
Ning Fan walked under the drizzling evening rain all alone with an open blood umbrella.
Bone Sovereign’s death, Ning Honghong’s disappearance and being alienated by Little Black… All these things made all sorts of feelings well up in his heart.
He raised his head and looked at the falling rain. Gradually, he found the sounds of the rain annoying.
However, when he arrived at the ruins of the Seventh Region and looked at the battlefield with corpses lying all over it accompanied with the drizzle from the sky, he felt that the rain actually was not annoying. In fact, it was a little depressing…
Then, Ning Fan suddenly realized that it was never the rain that made him feel annoyed or depressed. Instead, they were just human’s emotions.
The threads of rain fell from the sky and their trajectories were their entire journeys.
Even though the life of a rain was short, it also contained the joy of reunions and sorrow of partings.
Whatever a person is feeling, their emotions would then be reflected in the rain.
There were countless Great Dao in the world and everyone had their own Dao.
If one is in the mood of comprehending the Dao, they probably can also find out their Great Dao from the rain.
Ning Fan’s eyes became as deep as the ocean as he recalled the times when he first entered the Dark Sparrow’s Grave in the past.
“In the past, I thought that what Que Shenzi comprehended in the Dark Sparrow’s Grave was the Divine Intent of Rain. However, it actually was wrong. What Que Shenzi really learned was Dao…”
“Every different type of rain contains a Great Dao. A single drop of rain is enough to include thousands of kinds of emotions and Great Daos in the world…”
“The circular shape that a single raindrop has is the Great Dao and its trajectory is the path of the Great Dao.”
Ning Fan’s eyes gradually turned clear and empty. The raindrops that lightly fell down in front of his eyes seemed to have been stopped. The movement of every drop of rain was infinitely slowed, as if they had become static.
He raised his hand to hold one of the raindrops and observed it carefully.
From that drop of rain, he saw countless Great Daos. However, some of them were true and false, making it difficult to discern.
He immersed his entire state of mind into the raindrop on the center of his palm. The scenery before his eyes changed and he seemed to be standing within a world of rain that was vast and boundless.
Within this world where raindrops intersected each other, a gigantic golden ring was floating in the vast sky.
The Ring of Heavenly Dao!
As Ning Fan stood in this world of rain, he gained an even deeper insight.
It turns out that a single drop of rain also has the heavenly dao that belongs to me and that heavenly dao has a circular shape!
As long as one makes their heart extremely small, it will be as huge as a world when they are viewing a drop of rain.
If one makes their heart larger than the Four Heavens and Nine Worlds, it’ll just be similar to seeing a single drop of rain when viewing those worlds to them.
“A world in a wild flower and a Buddha in a leaf…”
“The world that I’m currently in, is it actually boundlessly huge or it is so small that it’s just a single drop of rain in others’ eyes…?”
*Puke*
Ning Fan suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest and started coughing out blood. He withdrew his state of mind from the rain and his eyes turned focused and clear slowly.
The reason why he coughed out blood was because the thing that he was trying to comprehend was far beyond his current level. It was not something that the current him could see through!
In order to know the original appearance of the world, I need to comprehend my own Truth of Dao…
And that is what those immortals are pursuing tirelessly!
“This silly younger brother. He actually wanted to comprehend the Truth of Dao from a single droplet of rain!? What a terrifying power of understanding! If it wasn’t because of having insufficient cultivation base, I’m afraid he could have obtained a great benefit from that session just now.”
“I wonder if he could gain the Truth of Dao when he has an adequate cultivation base in the future…”
In the Profound Yin World, Luo You clicked her tongue and praised. She was once again surprised by Ning Fan.
Ning Fan spread his hand, allowing the rain droplet on his palm to slide away without any reluctance.
The Great Dao that was contained in the rain droplet was not something that he could comprehend now.
As the saying goes, going beyond one’s limit is as bad as falling short… If he forces himself to comprehend the Dao, he would end up killing himself. The mouthful of fresh blood that he coughed out just now was evident enough to serve as a warning to him.
Indeed, matters regarding cultivation had to be done progressively and it could not be rushed rashly.
“Let’s check out the entrance of the Eight Region…”
Under the drizzling evening rain, Ning Fan walked forward all the way, passing by the ruins created by the earlier battle in the Seventh Region.
After some time, Ning Fan stopped walking and stood at the end of the Seventh Region.
The first seven regions of the Demon Sinister Forest were separated by the levels of ghosts. However, the Eighth Region was blocked by a territory separation light.
On the way leading to the Eight Region, a dazzling light barrier stood in the middle. It looked like an enormous mirror that was standing in the way, preventing anyone from entering it.
Ning Fan took out a Mortal Void Grade magic treasure from his storage pouch and tossed it at the light barrier.
As soon as the treasure touched the light, it immediately dissipated into ashes…
Ning Fan frowned. The light barrier was extremely scary. It could even be a Void Fragmentation Realm expert or an Immortal Void Grade magic treasure would also be turned to ashes…
As long as the territory separation light barrier still existed, Ning Fan would not be able to enter the Eight Region no matter what.
It’s such a pity… The Eight Region and Ninth Region are situated in the Ancient Heavenly Court. However, it seems like I won’t be able to enter now.
“Fine. What can I do if I enter the Ancient Heavenly Court earlier? With my current cultivation base, it must be pretty dangerous for me to enter the Ancient Heavenly Court. Well, there is no need to be in a hurry to succeed. The matters regarding cultivation should be taken step by step and one must not be clouded by greed…”
The Dao comprehension in the evening rain today really improved Ning Fan’s state of mind by a great deal.
“It’s about time to leave. Concocting the True Yang Pill for Little Black isn’t something that can be done within one day. Besides, I still lack a few types of spiritual herbs now. I probably need to stock up some spiritual herbs again after leaving the Demon Sinister Forest…”
“I’ve been out for half a month. I also should return to let them know that I’m safe. Then, I’ll make a trip to the Dark Sparrow to see if I can bring Min Luo Treant out of it…”
“Even though I have a way to bring Little Black and Xiaoliang out of the forest, I don’t have much confidence to bring Min Luo Treant out of the Dark Sparrow’s Grave at the moment… At most, I can only bring his clone out…”
“I will try to figure it out again when I go there…”
Ning Fan returned to the Yellow Spring Demon City to say goodbye to Mei Chen and Mu Xiaoliang temporarily.
…
In the Hall of Merits of the Sinister Sparrow Sect, the elder guarding the hall, Meng Chu, was petrified, standing there still with his jaw dropped.
Beside him, the former sect master, Gui Quezi, wore a bitter smile on his face.
He was already a Half-Step Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. All he needed was a long secluded cultivation to officially form his nascent soul.
Just as he got out from his seclusion, he encountered something that he did not know whether he should cry or laugh at.
Within the Hall of Merits, the contribution points of Ning Fan’s division were rising at an unimaginable speed and it eventually went beyond the maximum limit of the tablet of merits, causing the tablet to explode.
“Did he do anything shocking again after entering the Demon Sinister Forest this time…? Is it possible that he has killed the Void Fragmentation Realm ghosts in the Seventh Region…? Otherwise, why will his contribution points break the maximum limit…?”
Gui Quezi shook his head and smiled. He was talking in a joking manner. He did not really think that Ning Fan had the capabilities to kill a Void Fragmentation Realm ghost. That would be too unimaginable.
Unfortunately, things are always unexpected.
When he found out the true incidents that happened in the Demon Sinister Forest and was shocked by it, it had already been many years… He could never imagine that Ning Fan, who was only at the Void Glimpse Stage, had actually managed to kill Bone Sovereign…
