Grasping the Evil
Chapter 1122: Mind Like a Waterfall, Fiendgod’s Calamity
Ning Fan temporarily has no time to deal with those prisoners.
As for the spoils of war...
Most of the different race don’t use magical treasures, and they rarely carry storage pouches when traveling. Most of their wealth is hidden in their riverbed estates. With this, although Ning Fan killed quite a few in this battle, the loot obtained wasn’t much.
Capturing the Sixteenth Prince of the Dragon-Horse, Ning Fan did not seize an Innate Treasure, but devoured the opponent’s Innate Dragon Fire.
Capturing Aflo, Ning Fan hasn’t had time to search her body yet; she seems to have hidden her Golden Bow within her Dantian, which might be a decent magical treasure...
Capturing Emperor Yuan Dan, Ning Fan not only gained an extra-large expensive pill but also acquired Emperor Yuan Dan’s storage pouch.
As a member of the Eastern Celestial Cultivator, Emperor Yuan Dan retained the habits of Eastern Celestial Cultivators, carrying his storage pouch while traveling — a win for Ning Fan.
Ning Fan does not think much of Emperor Yuan Dan’s skills.
But Emperor Yuan Dan’s storage pouch was surprisingly rich!
[Heavenly Emperor’s Qi Breaking Needle]: Ancient relic of the Heavenly Court, Innate Lower Grade, in half-damaged state, its power is one-tenth of its original. This treasure was used by Emperor Yuan Dan to sneak attack Ning Fan previously. According to this treasure’s claims, Emperor Yuan Dan is only its second master; its first master was once the ruler of the Ancient Heavenly Court — the Heavenly Emperor.
[Demon-Sealing Sword]: Half-damaged Innate Lower Grade magical treasure, its power is one-tenth of its original. This treasure claimed to be the sword of Demon Lord Mo Zhong from the Demon-Sealing Peak.
[Dark Star Dart]: In the category of hidden weapons, Innate Treasure, half-damaged, its power is one-tenth of its original. This treasure claimed to be a concealed weapon of the Dark Clan’s ancestor An Yuanchen, given to Emperor Yuan Dan by the Dark Clan for certain reasons.
[Ancient Demon Dragon Bone]: Claimed to be a remnant of Ancestral Dragon Zhuli’s bone, its spirit is lost, rendered useless...
[Azure Phoenix Essence Blood]: Claimed to be the blood of Ancient Great Demon Qingling, its spirit is lost...
[Primordial Pill Demon Shard]: Even without using the Communication with All Things technique, Ning Fan recognized it; this was something given to Emperor Yuan Dan by Senluo.
[Ancient Demon Tentacles]: Appears to belong to a certain Ancient Great Demon named Worm Xie, left behind after death, appearing somewhat filthy, its spirit is lost...
[Drifting Desire Immortal Pill]: A superb Ninth Revolution Golden Pill that allows cultivators to experience momentary divine ecstasy, forgetting all troubles...
With the convenience of Communication with All Things, Ning Fan could directly converse with inanimate objects, gaining a wealth of intelligence.
It surprised Ning Fan that a mere Seven Calamity Immortal Emperor like Emperor Yuan Dan possessed such an abundant collection. Although many of these treasures are half-damaged and cultivation materials are mysterious waste, the origins of these miscellaneous items are indeed vast, too varied.
Seeing that half-damaged Demon-Sealing Sword, Ning Fan recalled the time Senluo borrowed the Demon-Sealing Ranking from Emperor Yuan Dan. These two items are treasures of the Demon-Sealing Peak; it seems Emperor Yuan Dan has close ties with the Demon-Sealing Peak...
The remnants of the Heavenly Emperor’s Qi Breaking Needle are in Emperor Yuan Dan’s possession, and in the storage pouch is An Yuanchen’s reward... Ning Fan thought of the battle against the Heavenly Emperor’s corpse with the Dark Clan; Emperor Yuan Dan, indeed, has deep ties with the Dark Clan...
As for those miscellaneous things, while opening Ning Fan’s horizons, they also left him quite speechless.
Emperor Yuan Dan seems to collect things based solely on their notoriety, preserving anything with a significant origin regardless of its utility... seems like a collector’s hobby?
Unfortunately, these collections, from today on, all belong to Ning Fan.
Of course, not all Emperor Yuan Dan’s collection is garbage; there are good items among them too.
[Origin Qi], two strands! This is something Emperor Yuan Dan spent countless years collecting, never willing to use — now it’s a boon for Ning Fan.
Ning Fan pondered; currently, he no longer needs Origin Qi as a trump card and can directly devour it to enhance his cultivation. Refining Immeasurable Pill is merely a regular cultivation method for Eternal Cultivators; Origin Qi is one of the few treasures that can rapidly raise the Eternal Ages Cultivation Level...
[Heavenly Peach Branch], one hundred roots, [Heavenly Peach Blossom], thirty-three petals, [Heavenly Peach Fruit], eight pieces, [Heavenly Peach Tree], one tree!
Whether it’s peach branches, peach blossoms, or peach fruits, they are all products nurtured during the growth of the Heavenly Peach Tree. Consuming and refining them can significantly boost a cultivator’s Medicine Soul or be used to craft supreme Wood Element magical treasures.
Among them, the Heavenly Peach Tree is the most precious, a divine tree comparable to the Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree. After Emperor Yuan Dan’s years of offerings, though not a magical treasure, it already possesses power equivalent to an Innate Inferior Grade Treasure. This tree has great potential, much like the Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree; when cultivated properly, it can serve as a Saint’s protective magical treasure, not lacking in strength.
Ning Fan hesitated not one bit, immediately planting the Heavenly Peach Tree in the Shennong Hundred Herbs Garden, alongside the Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree.
[Curse Gourd], one!
This item was used by Emperor Yuan Dan to entice Ning Fan; having captured Emperor Yuan Dan, this treasure naturally belongs to Ning Fan.
"Not sure if this treasure could be the Vital Essence Gourd..." Ning Fan activated the Divine Blood within to sense the gourd, after a few breaths, showing disappointment.
Too bad, this treasure is not the Vital Essence Gourd.
This result was expected; the Vital Essence Gourd is not easy to find. Already mentally prepared, although disappointed, Ning Fan only sighed for a moment before returning to normal.
Though this treasure is not the Vital Essence Gourd, it is indeed a rare Innate Inferior Grade Treasure, possessing exceptionally potent curse power; if wielded by someone adept in curse techniques, it can double the effect of their curses...
Suddenly, within Ning Fan’s mind emerged the ugly visage of Wu Laoba.
Wu Laoba’s Black Fortune, its curse effect is already strong; if this treasure were given to Wu Laoba, doubling Wu Laoba’s curse power... hmm, this item indeed has use, using it as refining material would be a waste.
After sorting through the spoils of war, Ning Fan gazed at the boundless river, feeling somewhat troubled.
His warship was shattered by other race powerhouses.
Boundary River’s magnetic force is intense, even an Immortal Emperor’s spirit sense can’t spread too far here; without a warship for transportation, even someone as strong as an Immortal Emperor will find it tough to navigate Boundary River.
"Thankfully, my divination skills have slightly improved, just enough to use the Treasure-searching Compass to locate the coordinates of heaven and earth in Boundary River. With the Treasure-searching Compass, despite losing the warship, I can barely move above Boundary River..."
"Those powerhouses of different race were driven away by me, and should not return promptly. They’d likely first find ways to counter my Flooded World Bottle, planning accordingly before seeking revenge. For the time being, I don’t need to worry about those different race Immortal Emperors chasing me, but if they do return one day, they’ll surely bring backing... by then, relying on the Flooded Bottle for victory will be... very challenging!"
As Ning Fan was contemplating, his expression suddenly changed.
Suddenly, a sinister feminine laughter echoed from the depths of his Sea of Consciousness, eerily terrifying!
"Little thief, you’ve been careless! Being invaded without noticing, hahahaha! So the inheritor of Ancient Chaos, who is feared in Eastern Heaven, is merely this competent!"
Ning Fan slightly sensed his Sea of Consciousness, his expression instantly darkened.
At this moment, within his divine spirit sea, there was surprisingly a black-clad woman about the size of a speck of dust!
When did this dust-sized woman invade his sea of consciousness? He hadn’t sensed it at all! This was truly unbelievable, considering his perceptive abilities were not much weaker than that of a Quasi-Saint. If this dust-sized woman could infiltrate his sea of consciousness, she could certainly invade a slightly weaker Quasi-Saint’s as well... What an impressive woman, he had never even heard of her before!
"Who are you, and why have you invaded my sea of consciousness!"
Ning Fan observed his sea of consciousness internally, though surprised, he remained calm.
This woman, though stealthy, seemed to have low cultivation—after all, being the size of a grain of dust, how formidable could she be?
If an ordinary Immortal Emperor’s sea of consciousness was infiltrated by this woman, it would likely cause panic; strong as they are, the sea of consciousness is still a vulnerable area.
But Ning Fan was different.
His divine spirit sea had long been fortified like an ironclad bastion, capable of withstanding attacks from Twelve Nirvana Magical Treasures without injury. Just a mere speck of dust entering would do no harm to his sea of consciousness.
"You ask who I am? Hehe, listen well, my name is Yinji, the one and only Dust Immortal between heaven and earth. Due to an agreement with the Elemental Elixir Emperor, I willingly acted as his disciple and followed his commands! You’re utterly detestable, daring to plot against Senior Yuandan and capture him! If you know what’s good for you, release Senior Yuandan immediately, and I may spare your life! Otherwise, hmph, I’ll destroy your sea of consciousness, causing it to collapse and kill you!" the dust-woman threatened.
This woman was associated with Elder Yuandan? Ning Fan was slightly surprised by her words.
Unexpectedly, though Elder Yuandan lacked strength, he had a remarkable subordinate capable of infiltrating his sea of consciousness without a trace, something not likely to be matched during the Era of Decline. Not even Quasi-Saints or Ancient Great Cultivators could accomplish such a feat, as perception had always been one of Ning Fan’s strengths, keeping even Quasi-Saints at bay if he remained vigilant.
"You’re threatening me. Do you realize I hate being threatened by others?" Ning Fan remarked indifferently. Though this woman had unusual skills, if she were an enemy, he wouldn’t hold back.
"Hmph! Enough talk, just tell me, will you release Senior Yuandan or not? Otherwise, I’ll take action for real!" the woman, frustrated by Ning Fan’s lack of response, said angrily.
"If you want to take action, then go ahead and try."
"Hmph! You forced my hand; I normally don’t take lives, but since you’re courting death, I’ll send you off... Primordial Yin Thought Sting!"
The dust-woman condensed all her Yin energy into a fine needle and stabbed fiercely toward Ning Fan’s sea of consciousness.
Her cultivation wasn’t high, but this piercing was indeed formidable. Unless one had fortified their sea of consciousness, even an Immortal Emperor could be injured, with their sea of consciousness being penetrated.
Unfortunately, this stab couldn’t pierce Ning Fan’s sea of consciousness at all...
"Im-impossible! You are merely an Eternal Immortal Venerable; how can your sea of consciousness be so robust? You..." The woman’s expression changed dramatically.
Let alone an Eternal Immortal Venerable, even among the Immortal Emperors, how many could compare to Ning Fan in terms of the durability of their sea of consciousness!
This person is simply a monster!
"You’ve had your turn, now it’s mine..."
Ning Fan urged the Chaos World Purple Rosy Light, sweeping through the sea of consciousness, effortlessly knocking the dust-woman unconscious, ejecting her from his sea of consciousness, and capturing her.
Looking at the black-clad woman in his palm, the size of a speck of dust, Ning Fan couldn’t help but marvel at the wonders of creation. Thanks to his extraordinary eyesight, he could clearly see such minute beings, which ordinary Masters perhaps couldn’t perceive.
She was an extremely beautiful woman, albeit... only the size of dust.
Her tiny form wasn’t due to any divine skill shrinking her, but she was naturally so!
If Ning Fan’s Tianren Eye Power was correct, she was a dust particle that gained enlightenment; her type of dust was likely the incense ash commonly found in temples...
This woman managed to infiltrate Ning Fan’s sea of consciousness without anyone noticing, ranking her infiltration abilities first in all Eastern Heaven!
Of course, her strength was somewhat insufficient. Even if she invaded Ning Fan’s sea of consciousness, she couldn’t harm him in the slightest. But... if she were to invade other Immortal Emperors’ sea of consciousness, though far from capable of killing them, she might cause severe damage to their sea of consciousness...
If utilized properly, this woman was a veritable weapon, capable of catching even a Quasi-Saint off-guard...
Ning Fan’s divine skill revived the dust-woman and he spoke coldly,
"Elder Yuandan’s collection is now mine. Naturally, you belong to me as well. Yinji, from today, you are Ning Fan’s servant. However, I never force anyone. If you refuse to submit, I’ll respect your loyalty but will still grant you death."
The black-clad woman sank into profound conflict.
She had made an agreement to be loyal to the Elemental Elixir Emperor for life in exchange for him doing something for her.
Yet, over the years, the Elemental Elixir Emperor never seemed to care about her request, causing her immense disappointment, though she refused to breach the agreement herself.
She valued promises greatly, but now facing dire circumstances, she inevitably harbored some resentment towards the Elemental Elixir Emperor.
If the Elemental Elixir Emperor had honored his promise and helped her advance her cultivation, today she certainly could have pierced Ning Fan’s sea of consciousness and killed him, instead of being captured by him, waiting for a humiliating death.
Submit or not?
Who doesn’t cherish life; if for a worthy person, she was willing to sacrifice, but, was the Elemental Elixir Emperor truly worth it for her to die for...
"Senior Yuandan had promised me something, but he never fulfilled his promise. If you promise me one thing, I... I am willing to submit to you..."
"What is it?" Ning Fan was genuinely interested in recruiting this peculiar woman, so he wasn’t angered by her conditional demand.
"You, you..." The woman seemed a bit embarrassed to speak, biting her lip, blushing fiercely, she spoke her mind, "I want you to find someone for me!"
Finding someone?
"Who do you want to find?"
"I don’t know who he is, I don’t know what he looks like, I don’t even know if it’s a man or a woman. But, I remember the taste of his tears, unique, very bitter, very bitter, a hundred thousand times more bitter than the Kannan Sea of Suffering... Once, a single tear enlightened me, from a speck of incense ash, I gained awareness. I, I must repay him!"
To repay a kindness? Thus seeking someone? Ning Fan nodded, appreciating her sentiment.
Yet felt a bit troubled.
This dust-woman repeatedly said she wanted to find someone, but unfortunately, she couldn’t even ascertain who she was looking for, whether the person was male or female, human or demon.
She had never met the person she wanted to find.
She only remembered the taste of that person’s tears, transformed into a human shape by a single teardrop.
With only this bit of information, how could one search for someone? Ning Fan sighed softly; despite wanting to recruit this Dust Maiden, he truly couldn’t find the person she was looking for. Making rash promises was not his style; he wouldn’t promise something he couldn’t accomplish.
"I’m sorry, the information you’ve given is too scarce. With just the taste of tears... I fear I cannot find the person you’re looking for."
"Is... is that so... So, it’s indeed impossible to find them... You, being so much more capable than Elder Yuan Dan, yet lacking confidence to find him, while Elder Yuan Dan insisted he could help me find that person. He was clearly deceiving me, wanting me to serve him in vain..." The Dust Maiden was greatly disappointed; she almost forgot how many years she’d been searching for that person—a truly long journey. She really wished to find the one who had transformed her and express her gratitude.
Where could that person, whose tears were more bitter than the Sea of Suffering, be now? Or perhaps, they have long been obliterated by the passage of time...
"Consider whether you want to change your request: submit to me, and I’ll give you time to consider."
After speaking, Ning Fan casually placed the Dust Maiden into his sea of consciousness, planning to raise her like a fish within the vast ocean of his consciousness.
"Do you truly trust me so much, willing to let me live in your sea of consciousness?" The Dust Maiden was overwhelmingly moved.
While serving Emperor Yuan Dan, he never allowed her to enter his sea of consciousness. Yet, her cultivation specifically required residing within others’ consciousness... If it weren’t for Emperor Yuan Dan’s apprehension towards her, her cultivation wouldn’t be so low.
Ning Fan smiled without answering.
This was trust, but Ning Fan trusted not the Dust Maiden but his own strength. He was confident that even if he let the maiden into his consciousness, she couldn’t harm it in the slightest, nor could she peek into any of his memories.
Of course, Ning Fan wouldn’t explain this to the Dust Maiden.
He was happy to let the Dust Maiden misunderstand his trust, which could gradually grow into loyalty.
If he could genuinely make her loyal, and recruit her, even against a Quasi-Saint, Ning Fan could use her to slightly damage the Saint’s consciousness. Such a key move at a crucial time would be of infinite use...
After dealing with the small interlude of Yin Ji, Ning Fan didn’t linger here. Instead, he activated the Treasure-searching Compass, set the geographical position, ignored the magnetic interference, and flew back to Lingyun Pass.
How could the warship’s speed compare to Ning Fan’s? The journey that took several hours was completed in less than the time for a stick of incense to burn on the return.
Seeing Ning Fan move freely across the Boundary River without using the warship, all the gatekeepers at Lingyun Pass were shocked.
But even more shock was yet to come: Yuan Dan Emperor, who searched for treasure alongside Ning Fan, was directly dealt with by him!
Ning Fan had no intention of hiding this affair; with an Immortal Emperor inexplicably missing, others would inevitably inquire. Instead of waiting for questions, it was better for him to explain first to avoid misunderstandings.
Ning Fan publicly declared the whole story of capturing Yuan Dan Emperor and reported it to the Taiyuan Ferry.
To prove that he had no choice but to take drastic measures against Yuan Dan Emperor, Ning Fan also compiled a large amount of jade scroll recordings, sending them entirely back to Taiyuan Ferry. With irrefutable evidence, everyone knew Ning Fan acted in self-defense by defeating Yuan Dan Emperor, so naturally, no one would blame Ning Fan for this. Others would only be angered by Yuan Dan Emperor’s betrayal of the alliance, collusion with other races, and disloyalty to Eastern Heaven; who would blame Ning Fan for slaying a traitor?
Yuan Dan Emperor’s disciples were all apprehended; upon investigation, it was verified that these people also participated in Yuan Dan’s conspiracy. This was intolerable to people like Emperor Cang, and in a public outrage, these people were executed by the angry cultivators of Eastern Heaven.
And as Ning Fan’s feats of capturing two Immortal Emperors of different races gradually spread, the whole Boundary River was stirred, and Ning Fan’s name became even more renowned!
Ning Fan didn’t reveal that among the captured two Immortal Emperors of different races, one was a Nine Tribulations Immortal Emperor. If the world knew Ning Fan managed to capture even a Nine Tribulations Immortal Emperor, they would directly question their existence.
As the saying goes, moderation is key; Ning Fan didn’t want to overexaggerate the incident. Besides, he did not capture Aflo in a fair duel but used a bewitching technique cleverly.
There’s nothing worthy of boasting about.
After dealing with trivial matters, Ning Fan informed all cultivators at Lingyun Pass that he was going into seclusion, and others shouldn’t bother him unless necessary.
On the first day of seclusion, Ning Fan interrogated Yuan Dan Emperor and conducted a Soul Search to extract memories. Nobody knew what Ning Fan found out after prying open Yuan Dan Emperor’s secrets.
On the second day of seclusion, the Dust Maiden Yin Ji gave her answer; she was willing to relinquish to Ning Fan. She changed the condition; she was willing to call Ning Fan ’Master’ but refused to have Ning Fan impose a slave restriction.
Ning Fan didn’t have the capability to impose a slave restriction on such a tiny Dust Maiden. The slave restriction is too complex; imposing it on Yin Ji would be like painting a grand mountain-and-river picture on a grain of dust.
At such a micro level, even Ning Fan couldn’t manipulate his Mana to lay down such intricate restrictions.
Fortunately, Ning Fan’s Mind Reading Technique allowed him to observe people’s hearts, knowing full well that Yin Ji was a woman of her word; if she promised loyalty, she wouldn’t renege; even if she did, Ning Fan was confident he could suppress her, with nothing much to worry about.
With her true submission, it meant she had no further ties to her previous master.
Therefore, when Ning Fan decided to execute Yuan Dan Emperor, although Yin Ji was reluctant, she didn’t plead for Yuan Dan Emperor. She believed in the way of Buddhism, which speaks of karma and the cycle of cause and effect—Yuan Dan Emperor brought this upon himself, and she naturally understood.
Yuan Dan Emperor’s true form was not an Immeasurable Pill, nor any pill beneficial for cultivation improvement, which left Ning Fan quite disappointed.
The true form of Yuan Dan Emperor was a kind of pill called "Immortal Thought Pill." Through Yuan Dan Emperor’s memories, Ning Fan learned that Yuan Dan Emperor was originally an Immortal Thought Pill crafted by Saint Nan Yao during his lifetime, and after his death, the Immortal Thought Pill mutated into a pill demon, resulting in Yuan Dan Emperor.
Immortal Thought Pill was merely a Ninth Revolution Golden Pill, but as Yuan Dan Emperor continued cultivating, his level continually rose, and the pill’s grade was no longer comparable to back then.
It had long advanced to Nine-Turn Emperor Elixir and was even on the verge of stepping into the Ten Revolutions Ancestor Pill rank!
The pill’s potency was so vast that even Ning Fan was moved; while he initially felt some disappointment, sensing the pill’s immense power changed his mindset.
After extinguishing Yuan Dan Emperor’s spirit consciousness and then further refining it, Ning Fan finally refined the pill into his body. As its power spread through his body, Ning Fan’s spirit sense cultivation began to skyrocket!
Subsequently, he gained another opportunity to break through to the Eternal Four Thoughts Realm!
Within the spiritual cultivation of eons, there are four major realms, each deeper than the last. The lowest threshold is called—"Mind Like a Waterfall"!
Again attempting to break through to the Waterfall Realm spirit sense, Ning Fan inevitably remembered Emperor Butcher.
He recalled the scenes of sharing the Ancient Buddha Dao Fruits with Emperor Butcher, remembered the moments of attempting to break through to Waterfall Realm spirit sense.
"What a pity, Mind Like a Waterfall is indeed too early for you... Don’t lose heart, there will be opportunities in the future to gradually break through. With my talent, back then, I failed to break through Mind Like a Waterfall over a hundred times. If you succeed at once, I would have no face to endure it."
Emperor Butcher’s words still echo, Ning Fan’s expression dimmed, yet he refocused, swept away distractions, and concentrated on breaking through.
Being distracted at such a critical moment is dangerous, and Ning Fan dared not be careless.
The first time Ning Fan attempted to surge into the Waterfall Realm divine sense, he ended in failure.
Today is the second attempt, and this time, Ning Fan has absolute confidence that he will succeed because he has directly swallowed a large Immortal Thought Pill with the cultivation of a Seven Tribulation Immortal Emperor!
He will succeed!
This time, he will definitely succeed!
Qingling, watch closely, this time, I will succeed!
Yinji, residing within Ning Fan’s vast sea of consciousness, witnessed the entire process of Ning Fan’s sea of consciousness shattering and regrouping.
She saw Ning Fan’s divine sense threads continuously expanding, gradually transforming into a waterfall torrent!
She saw Ning Fan’s spirit sense suddenly escalating, within half a day, the divine sense had increased more than tenfold from before!
Roar!
Ning Fan let out a long howl, the vast awe of the divine sense spread from the place of seclusion, dispersing towards the entire Lingyun Pass.
Such divine sense pressure was no longer akin to what an Immortal Venerable could possess; it was even more formidable than most Immortal Kings!
The immense medicinal power of the Immortal Thought Pill allowed Ning Fan to break through to the Waterfall Realm divine sense, his divine sense surged more than tenfold, yet, this was not the endpoint!
The medicinal power of the Immortal Thought Pill had only been partially utilized, the remaining power continued strengthening Ning Fan’s spirit sense, causing his spirit sense cultivation to move from the unstable breakthrough of the Waterfall Realm, gradually stabilizing, and then... starting to slowly step into the next realm of Four Thoughts Realm!
The Eternal Four Thoughts Realm, the first stage is Mind Like a Waterfall, the second stage is Mind Like a Stream.
Ning Fan’s spirit sense grew stronger, gradually surpassing the scope of an Immortal King, reaching the level of an ordinary Sixth Calamity Immortal Emperor!
He began relying on his strong divine sense to charge into the Stream Realm spirit sense, but this time, he failed.
One failure, two failures... After failing several times, Ning Fan gave up on this matter, knowing that his current spirit sense cultivation was still insufficiently prepared unless he obtained another one or two large Immortal Thought Pills, otherwise he wouldn’t succeed in breaking through the Stream Realm spirit sense...
"What a pity, an Immortal Thought Pill as delicious as that of the Elemental Elixir Emperor, I’m afraid it’s impossible to find a second one in the world... This successful breakthrough is probably unrepeatable."
Ning Fan expressed a slight regret.
However, feeling his spirit sense being more than twenty times stronger than before, Ning Fan still smiled in satisfaction.
Previously, with his relatively weak divine sense, he could rely on the Ice Rain Technique, perceiving not much weaker than a Quasi-Saint. Now with the surge in divine sense, his sensory ability has naturally increased, likely sharper than some First Order Quasi-Saints.
With the enormous increase in spirit sense, although his cultivation hasn’t increased, his combat strength, mana consumption, and the handling of divine skills have all seen significant improvements.
Having devoured the body of the Elemental Elixir Emperor, Ning Fan then refined his two Origin Qi.
Ning Fan’s divine spirit body was exceptionally strong, so directly refining Origin Qi posed no significant difficulty, the refining speed was incredibly astonishing.
The two strands of Origin Qi went down, Ning Fan’s Fiendgod cultivation wildly surged by hundreds of tribulations worth of mana, reaching the threshold of a thousand tribulations, and triggered the first Tribulation of Measure since Ning Fan’s breakthrough as an Eternal Immortal Venerable.
If successful, it could accomplish the Eternity’s First Tribulation Fiendgod cultivation!
Perhaps due to Ning Fan cultivating the Divine Spirit Dao, despite only being a single Tribulation of Measure, its power was even more terrifying than others’ five Tribulation of Measure!
As stormy red clouds appeared over Lingyun Pass, as stout red lightning capable of injuring a Five Tribulation Immortal King fell from the sky, the entire pass was alarmed.
The direction of the lightning tribulation locked towards Ning Fan’s place of seclusion, undoubtedly, Ning Fan’s cultivation had broken through!
The world knew that Ning Fan’s rise in the Eastern Heaven was extremely rapid, from a first step of cultivation, he swiftly ascended to the newly ascended Immortal Venerable realm, it hadn’t taken long at all.
How much time had passed, and Ning Fan was about to become a First Calamity Immortal Sovereign, how could one not be astonished, this cultivation speed was excessively terrifying. Those newly ascended Immortal Venerables who couldn’t even touch the bottleneck of the First Calamity in millions of years should really find a tofu to smash themselves!
More terrifying was the power of this lightning tribulation, was this a single Tribulation of Measure? How could its power be so formidable, hundreds upon thousands of heavenly tribulation attacks descended, each capable of injuring a Five Tribulation Immortal King, claiming to destroy heaven and earth wasn’t an exaggeration.
Such powerful lightning tribulation could annihilate any Eternal Immortal Venerable, but to Ning Fan, it was trivial.
Ning Fan activated the Eternal True Body, soared into the sky, shattered the endless tribulation clouds, and within ten breaths, crossed the Tribulation of Measure.
Thus, the breakthrough concluded!
Ancient Chaos Blood Wine, newly ascended Immortal Venerable.
Ancient Demon Cultivation, newly ascended Immortal Venerable.
Calamity Blood Cultivation, True Blood Three Stars.
Ancient God Cultivation... Eternity’s First Tribulation!
"At the bottom of the Boundary River, there is an endless supply of Eight Hundred Million Years Yin Chen Wood, capable of crafting numerous Immeasurable Pills. If I obtain these Yin Chen Wood, I can become even stronger. If the different race truly can restrain my Flooded Bottle, with my current cultivation level, encountering ten or more Immortal Emperors attacking, there would be no chance of victory..."
Ning Fan cast his gaze towards the vast water region, having made a resolution.
Now with his divine sense greatly enhanced, although the magnetic interference of Boundary River on his divine sense still exists, it is not as severe as before.
Perhaps, it’s time to take the risk and venture to the river bottom, since lingering on the water surface is a danger, it might be better to go against the tide...
Of course, if truly diving to the river bottom, some necessary disguises are needed, Ning Fan certainly won’t foolishly dive into the underwater world with the identity of an Eastern Celestial Cultivator.
This action carries risks, but if the identity of that Aflo is truly as noble as shown in the memory of the Elemental Elixir Emperor, then even if encountering dangers and surrounded by the different race underwater, he has sufficient means to escape, safety need not be overly concerned...
No risk, no reward!
"I have matters to attend to outside, you all stay within the pass, if any different race Immortal Emperor attacks, immediately burn incense in prayer, notify me, and I will rush back in the shortest time!"
