Grasping the Evil-Chapter 833: Rain World’s Cultivators

This gesture almost exhausted Ancient Chaos’s entire lifetime of Dao prowess!

He directly severed all of Ning Fan’s delusions, only then could Ning Fan feel relieved, the sense of crisis that arose suddenly faded away...

And Ancient Chaos, wounded by that shred of delusion, seemed as if the phantom had been punched heavily by something, becoming increasingly illusory with an indescribable sense of decline...

Ning Fan’s expression was full of shock. Since his journey in cultivation, he had never encountered a name so forbidden that it could neither be thought of nor mentioned!

To cut off that shred of delusion, Ancient Chaos was gravely injured!

What exactly does the Master of Calamity Thought represent?

You cannot think of it, cannot mention it, cannot express it!

If Ancient Chaos hadn’t intervened to save him, that shred of delusion in Ning Fan’s mind would have been enough to kill him a thousand times over!

"If your cultivation is inadequate, certain heavenly secrets are beyond your reach. You must have experienced this... I can’t tell you too much, some answers you must pursue yourself step by step... From this moment on, you must never think of those four words again... Remember, the Four Heavens and Nine Realms of the Divine Clan, the Two Realms of Awakened Dreams of the Demon Clan, the Nine Abysses of the Demon Clan, these are the final refuges left by the Immortal Emperor... and also the last hope of us Zidou Cultivators... Born in the Four Heavens and Nine Realms, you are fortunate, yet also unfortunate..."

"Here, you will comprehend the cultivation technique, condense the Nascent Star, and complete the first step of cultivating this technique. Once the star is formed, I will assist you in cultivating the First Yin Yang..."

Ancient Chaos pointed his finger to his brow, suppressed his internal injuries, sighed regretfully, and the phantom gradually disappeared.

In the vast Tomb Palace, only Ning Fan remained, only the flickering lights of the palace lamps, only those twenty-seven bronze statues.

"Is it that without sufficient cultivation, one doesn’t even qualify to know certain secrets..."

Ning Fan let out a bitter laugh, if his guess was correct, those four words ’Master of Calamity Thought’ are the greatest secret in this world.

With his current cultivation, he is far from qualified to touch this secret.

All he can do is cultivate step by step, grow stronger step by step, and then he will have the qualification to unveil this mystery...

Sitting cross-legged beneath a bronze statue, after a brief meditation, Ning Fan took out the Chaos Ring Technique jade slip and began to read it carefully.

Gradually, Ning Fan started to understand why the Chaos Ring Technique is hailed as ’first in attack among ten billion Great Emperors.’

Any cultivator, as their cultivation improves, can continuously cultivate Fiendgod stars.

Divine stars are located at the brow, demon stars at the left eye, and devil stars at the right eye, with a maximum of nine that can be cultivated.

Ordinary cultivators can only specialize in one type of star, either divine star, demon star, or devil star.

The practitioners of the Chaos Ring Technique must base their cultivation on Yin Yang Transformation, simultaneously cultivating stars of the three races, and ultimately, cultivate twenty-seven Fiendgod stars in one fell swoop.

To ordinary people, Fiendgod stars are merely one type of Divine Skill among many, certainly not considered a trump card.

But to practitioners of the Chaos Ring Technique, every Fiendgod star is an invaluable treasure.

Each star is used to cultivate a type of Yin Yang.

Twenty-seven stars represent the cultivation of twenty-seven types of Yin Yang.

For example, the Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor, the First Yin Yang he cultivated was ’Demon Carp Yin Yang’ in the demon Yin Yang.

At the instant he cultivated Demon Carp Yin Yang, he completely mastered the Taoist method rules contained within Demon Carp Yin Yang, becoming a Control Position Great Emperor with the Control Position Path ’Demon-Sealing Dao Principles’!

The Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor cultivated twenty-seven Yin Yang, a total of twenty-seven Control Positions Path.

He is a Control Position Immortal Emperor, mastering twenty-seven positions in total!

Aside from him, any other Immortal Emperor can only master two or three paths at most.

In this Era of Decline, control position Emperors among Immortal Emperors are exceedingly rare, and no control position Emperor has simultaneously cultivated a second control position path...

With twenty-seven control position paths, Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor is undeniably first in attack among ten billion Immortal Emperors.

"If I cultivate twenty-seven control position paths, achieving the status of Immortal Emperor, even ordinary Initial Saints would be no match for me! There would likely be no rival in the Four Heavens and Nine Realms!"

"This Chaos Ring Technique has only been cultivated by Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor, and I am the second practitioner..."

"Though this technique is powerful, its cultivation difficulty is exceedingly high. The first step requires cultivating the Yin-Yang Nascent Star; the second step requires devouring the power of Dao laws, refining it into stars, and cultivating the stars into ’Yin-Yang Stars’; the third step involves devouring the power of Dao laws and sacrificing the Yin-Yang Stars..."

"With my Dao Enlightenment of Unity of Heaven and Man, completing the first step is not difficult; but to complete the second step, devouring the power of Dao laws, the minimum requirement is to have Late Stage Enlightenment cultivation; the third step requires hundreds to thousands of years of seclusion, slowly sacrificing the Yin-Yang Stars..."

Ning Fan’s eyebrows suddenly furrowed, his current cultivation is far from reaching the minimum requirement for cultivating this technique—the Late Stage Enlightenment.

He has yet to break through the True Immortal Realm, it is still too early to cultivate the twenty-seven Yin Yang of the Chaos Ring Technique...

Yet breaking through the True Immortal Realm is far more difficult than breaking through the Heavenly Demon, the challenge lies in the understanding of the word ’True.’ Even with Ning Fan’s exceptional talent, without thousands of years of seclusion, he could forget about stepping into the True Immortal Realm...

Furthermore, even if Ning Fan enters the True Immortal Realm, he must cultivate to the late stage of the True Immortal Realm before he can complete the second step of cultivating the Chaos Ring Technique...

"With my current cultivation, cultivating the Chaos Ring Technique is indeed a bit early... However, Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor’s requirement for me was merely to condense the Nascent Star, completing the first step... The subsequent two steps, he seems to be willing to assist me..."

Putting away the Chaos Ring Technique jade slip, Ning Fan sat upright beneath the feet of twenty-seven bronze statues, facing the statue, unmoving as a meditation.

He was comprehending, comprehending the essence of the Chaos Ring Technique cultivation technique.

To open the Nascent Star, one must shatter the previous Fiendgod stars, and reshape the Nascent Star.

Shattering stars is easy, reshaping the Nascent Star is difficult, and the reshaped Nascent Star must contain a trace of the cultivator’s Daoist thought.

That Daoist thought must be the deepest emotion hidden in the heart.

Just like the Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor, in his cultivation of twenty-seven Yin Yang, each one contained an indelible sense of sorrow and yearning for loved ones...

"This Chaos Ring Technique requires emotions to generate thought, Dao to enter into stars... If I have no feelings in my heart, then there is no way I can cultivate this technique..."

Ning Fan revealed a contemplative expression, suddenly raised his head, and his gaze fell upon the twenty-seven bronze statues in front of him.

"Is Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor asking me to condense the Nascent Star beneath the statue, using his sorrowful emotion to enter into the star..."

Azure Spike flickered in his eyes, Ning Fan’s gaze seemed to penetrate the statue, seeing the deep sorrow embedded within the statue, feeling the past emotional agony of the Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor...

If it were not for that bone-deep sorrow, Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor would not be able to cultivate the Chaos Ring Technique...

The Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor personally slayed twenty-seven closest and dearest people, each death causing a deep pain in his heart.

His twenty-seven Yin Yang, each one, deeply contained the longing for loved ones.

This is a cultivation technique of emotions, only those with emotions can reach the peak.

Ning Fan’s mind twitched, and starlights appeared on his brow, left eye, and right eye.

Rain Divine Star, Fuli Demon Star, Mountain Demon Star...

Tai Su Lightning Star, Moluo Star...

Caressing the star point on his brow, scenes from the past immediately floated in front of Ning Fan’s eyes.

The first step of cultivating the Chaos Ring Technique is to shatter stars...

Ning Fan was full of reminiscence, suddenly concentrated, then his ten fingers swiftly formed a spell according to the Chaos Ring Technique’s cultivation method, and coldly commanded,

"Shatter the stars!"

Rain Star, shatter!

Thunder Star, shatter!

Mountain Star, shatter!

Fuli Star, shatter!

Moluo Star, shatter!

The star points on the brow, left eye, and right eye all shattered, immediately Ning Fan felt a pain in his chest, coughed up fresh blood, and his complexion turned gray and defeated.

Shattering stars signifies the loss of divine skills, next comes the need to reshape the Nascent Star, to restore the divine skills!

The process of reshaping the Nascent Star must incorporate the deepest emotions, Ning Fan’s first reshaped star should be the Rain Divine Star!

"I, Ning Fan, was born in the Rain Immortal World, my entire life will be that of a cultivator of the Rain Immortal World... The emotions embedded in this Rain Divine Star are naturally the most complex of all."

"I grew up in the mortal world, this rain carries my longing for it."

"I was humiliated in the All Pleasure Sect, this rain bears my unwillingness from my weakest times..."

"In the snow and wind of the Seven Apricot, I received the paper crane and the warmth my master gave me..."

"I cultivated in the Rain Immortal World, became a demon there, witnessed the storms of the mortal world, and tasted the flavor of bloody rain..."

"Naturally, within the rain is my sorrow... that sorrow, feeling pity for my tumultuous fate; that sorrow, for my master’s betrayal by his disciple, a lifetime of emotional suffering; that sorrow, for my father’s memory being erased, my mother turning into a statue, and my brother wandering in reincarnation..."

"Naturally, within this rain is the longing I cannot erase through endless lifetimes... within this rain, there are too many people I care about..."

It was as if a voice quietly emerged in Ning Fan’s heart...

Let it turn into a drizzle that flies everywhere, I have put down roots, willing to wait for all eternity...

Ning Fan murmured to himself, his emotions turned into thoughts, blending with the Dao, merging bit by bit into the misty rain of the past and slowly into his brow.

Between his brows, the first nascent star gradually took shape once again!

That was the Rain Divine Star, containing deep emotions within Ning Fan’s heart. This star could devour the Dao principles of rain, slowly cultivating... the Yin-Yang of Rain!

Reshaping the Rain Star took a total of three days.

Remarkably, during this reshaping of the Rain Star, Ning Fan actually imbued the Heaven Prying Rain’s divine skill within it.

On the fourth day, Ning Fan began reshaping the Thunder Star.

"Half of the thunder in my heart is thanks to the red long dress, the other half, left by Tai Su... Towards the red dress, I am more filled with yearning; towards Tai Su, I am grateful yet guilty..."

"Without Tai Su, I would most likely already have died from the Corpse Seizing Sect of Moro the Great Emperor, becoming a slave of Moluo."

"I promised the Lightning Emperor Tai Su that I would visit the True Lightning World located somewhere in the Eastern Heaven, this I will fulfill..."

Strands of thunder, infused with Ning Fan’s heavy emotions, gradually reconstructed into a fresh nascent Thunder Star.

This process lasted four days, the power of the Tai Su Lightning Diagram was resealed by Ning Fan within the Thunder Star.

There were only two stars in his brow, somewhat fewer than ordinary cultivators.

However, these two stars were infused with all the emotions from the depths of his heart, fundamentally different from ordinary stars.

On the eighth day, Ning Fan started reshaping the Fu Li Demon Star.

The Fu Li Demon Bloodline was formed based on his Winged Demon bloodline. And the Winged Demon bloodline was the only gift his mother left him...

"My mother was a Winged Demon; I take pride in being a Winged Demon myself. Based on the Winged Demon bloodline, I cultivated the Fu Li Demon Bloodline. Fu Li is a taboo of heaven and earth... yet Fu Li once helped me defile my fortune, sparing me from being schemed against... So in my heart, I have always held a bit of gratitude for the Fu Li Race..."

"The Fu Li Race has been extinct for a long time. If there is ever a chance, I, Ning Fan, will take revenge on behalf of the Fu Li Race as one of their own! By this act, repay the kindness to the Fu Li Race!"

Reshaping the Fu Li Demon Star took six days. Ultimately, Ning Fan’s left eye was left with only a purple-black star point.

On the fourteenth day, Ning Fan began reshaping the Moluo Star.

The Devil Intent of Evil Mountain he comprehended was based on Moluo, so by the end of reshaping, only a devil star remained in his right eye.

"Moluo is Ning Fan’s enemy! In this star, Ning Fan has instilled his hatred!"

"Had it not been for the downfall, I would not have nearly become a devil slave; had it not been for Moluo, the Lightning Emperor Tai Su would not have been destroyed..."

"Someday, I, Ning Fan, will surely step into the Ancient Demon Fourth Abyss, both for myself and the Lightning Emperor Tai Su, swearing to settle the debt with Moluo the Great Emperor!"

After seven days, fueled by hatred alone, Ning Fan reshaped the Moluo Star.

One day, this star will become a powerful weapon for his revenge against Moluo!

On the twenty-first day, Ning Fan finally completed reshaping the nascent stars!

He initially planned to continue using the Cultivation Technique of the Celestial Corpse Transmutation Tome to cultivate a Corpse Demon Nascent Star.

It was at this moment that the voice of Ancient Chaos gently echoed through the Tomb Palace.

"Four nascent stars already? There’s no need for so many, the remaining power of this old man is only enough to condense a Fierce Origin Crystal, to help you cultivate the first Yin-Yang Star..."

At the moment the voice fell, the Chaotic Ancient Phantom reappeared within the Tomb Palace.

Compared to twenty-one days ago, his demeanor was noticeably withered, the figure was so ethereal as if it would vanish at any moment.

Within these twenty-one days, he exhausted most of the power within the phantom, condensing an item.

It was a crystal burning with flames! Containing almost boundless energy within it!

"This is... the Fierce Origin Crystal! And its grade is heavenly!" Ning Fan’s eyes immediately shook.

The Fierce Origin Crystal is an essential item for completing the second step of the Chaos Ring Technique cultivation. The Chaos Ring Technique records a divine skill known as ’Fierce Origin Technique,’ which can condense the power of Dao Laws into crystals.

The crystal formed by the power of Dao Laws is named Fierce Origin Crystal and is generally categorized into low grade, middle-ranked, high grade, and finest ranked.

The Fierce Origin Crystal containing the Dao Laws of fire can only be used to cultivate Fire Yin-Yang and similar Yin-Yang.

The Fierce Origin Crystal containing the Dao Laws of thunder can only be used for cultivating Thunder Yin-Yang and similar divine skills.

The four levels of Fierce Origin Crystals can each be used to cultivate a specific type of Yin-Yang Star, but there is also said to be an even higher-grade Fierce Origin Crystal, listed in the heavenly grade, that can be used to cultivate any type of Yin-Yang Star without inherent properties, although it requires a huge cost to condense.

The Fierce Origin Crystal in the hands of the Chaotic Ancient Phantom, for instance, is of heavenly grade, containing a nearly terrifying power of Dao Laws.

If Ning Fan could refine this Heavenly Grade Fierce Origin Crystal, his first Yin-Yang Star could be cultivated in one step!

This is the precious treasure that the Chaotic Ancient Phantom, despite self-damaging his phantom body, at great cost, wished to gift to Ning Fan!

"Take this!"

With a flick of his finger, the Chaotic Ancient Phantom sent the Heavenly Grade Fierce Origin Crystal as a fiery light flying straight towards Ning Fan.

Ning Fan caught the Fierce Origin Crystal and gazed at the crystal in his hand, his eyes filled with shock.

Looking again at the Chaotic Ancient Phantom’s ethereal form, his heart filled with warmth, as well as a sense of unwillingness...

"For Senior’s phantom body to be weakened, to condense a Heavenly Grade Fierce Origin Crystal for me, he must have already hurt his foundation..."

"Hehe, since you are this old man’s disciple, the old man must condense a Heavenly Grade Fierce Origin Crystal for you; this is the tradition of my sect, the Fierce Origin Sect. Should your future disciple require this, you should also deplete your Dao practice to condense a Fierce Origin Crystal for him."

The Chaotic Ancient Phantom’s eyes showed a look of reminiscence. Back in the year when he was young, his master also depleted his own Dao practice to condense a Heavenly Grade Fierce Origin Crystal for him, aiding him in his cultivation...

The Fierce Origin Technique was a supreme skill created by his master, capable of condensing laws.

Apart from being used for cultivating the Chaos Ring Technique, the Fierce Origin Crystal has naturally more uses...

"Swallow this crystal, and this old man will assist you in refining it. In doing so, you can cultivate the first Yin-Yang in a very short time!"

"With your cultivation level, you originally could not cultivate the first Yin-Yang, but with the old man’s assistance, you will find a method to succeed! Once it’s done, you can utilize the power of the Yin-Yang Star, even explosively achieving the Mana of the Late Stage Enlightenment!"

"You now have four nascent stars. Have you decided which nascent star you want to refine into a Yin-Yang Star?"

The Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor asked slowly.

The Heavenly Grade Fierce Origin Crystal is different from ordinary ones, capable of cultivating any type of Yin-Yang Star.

Ning Fan now has four nascent stars, offering four choices.

His first Yin-Yang could be the Rain Yin-Yang, the Thunder Yin-Yang, the Fu Li Yin-Yang, or the Moluo Yin-Yang.

With his cultivation, even if he cultivates the first Yin-Yang, he cannot become an Immortal Emperor, but he can incorporate a trace of the power of Dao Laws in his divine skills, causing their power to surge dramatically when attacking!

Ning Fan remained silent for a moment, his expression gradually resolute, having made a decision.

He was a cultivator of the Rain World, so his first Yin-Yang should be centered on rain.

"Junior wishes to cultivate the Rain Divine Star into Rain Yin-Yang! Because I am a cultivator of the Rain World!"
