Grasping the Evil-Chapter 851: Goblin Ancestor’s Cave Mansion

The Commercial Pavilion’s main pavilion spans tens of thousands of miles, entirely shrouded in a pale silver Mist Sea.

This pale silver mist can obstruct spirit sense perception and slow down escape light speed, acting as a natural barrier for the Commercial Pavilion.

Most of the cultivators coming and going can only slowly fly through the mist, and even Fate Immortal cultivators cannot widely spread their spirit sense in the mist. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

At the center of the Mist Sea lies a massive vortex, above which float numerous floating cities.

That is where the main pavilion of the Commercial Pavilion is located. Beneath the vortex is the forbidden zone deep within the Mist Sea.

The Mist Sea on the ground is referred to by the Pavilion’s cultivators as the First Layer of the Mist Sea, where the density of the mist is sufficient to hinder the spirit sense perception of Fate Immortal cultivators.

Beneath the vortex, there are also the second, third, and fourth layers of the Mist Sea... Few in the outside world know the exact number of layers, making it a secret of the Godly Void Pavilion.

In the Second Layer of the Mist Sea, there floats a suspended island named Dongming Island, upon which are built eight treasure vaults.

Ning Fan walked leisurely through the mist, each step seemingly treading on the veins of rain and mist Dao traces in this place.

The mist parted self-consciously as he approached, as if respectfully welcoming his arrival.

Along the way, some cultivators who witnessed this strange scene were all shocked and changed their expressions drastically.

Yet, when seeing that the figure walking in the mist was Ning Fan, they all felt relieved.

The Rain Immortal Monarch Ning Fan possesses a mystical Divine Skill that can make rain and mist submit... Who in the Dongming Star Domain doesn’t know of this today?

Every cultivator of the Godly Void Pavilion gazes at Ning Fan with varying degrees of awe.

Some unmarried female cultivators, in particular, often gaze at Ning Fan with a bit of admiration and shyness.

None of this concerned Ning Fan, who continued to travel, flying all the way to the center of the Mist Sea, descending towards the cultivation city where the main pavilion of the Commercial Pavilion is located.

The mist here is extremely dense, the air moist, yet carrying a sense of stagnation and stuffiness.

Upon landing in the cultivation city, Ning Fan did not linger but simply took out the token given by Xiang Mingzi, casting a mnemonic toward the direction of the main pavilion to announce his arrival. He then immediately leaped into the vortex of the Mist Sea below.

He came here with two purposes: one was to go to the treasure vault on Dongming Island in the Second Layer of the Mist Sea to access the cultivation materials there; the second was to enter the Fourth Layer of the Mist Sea and place the Immortalization Stele in the Tablet Nurturing Pool there for nourishment over a thousand years.

Entering the treasure vault requires the Pavilion Master’s token; entering the Tablet Nurturing Pool also requires the Pavilion Master’s token.

Ning Fan did not have the Pavilion Master’s token but had a token given by Xiang Mingzi, which had almost the same effect, allowing him free access to these forbidden areas. The cultivation materials in the Commercial Pavilion were also his to take at will.

Informing the Commercial Pavilion was merely a matter of courtesy. However, just as Ning Fan cast the mnemonic, four streaks of light flew hurriedly out from the main pavilion, calling out to Ning Fan.

"Immortal Monarch, please wait, the Four Elders of Ciming have something to say to you!"

Upon hearing this, Ning Fan immediately halted his descent, pausing mid-air above the Mist Sea.

The four streaks of escape light approached rapidly, transforming into the appearance of four elders, each of whom was a Peak Crossing Truth Realm cultivator.

"The Four Elders of Ciming greet the Rain Immortal Monarch!" Each of the four old monsters smiled and clasped their fists in salute to Ning Fan.

Ning Fan slightly hesitated, clasping his fists in return salute and asking in surprise, "The four elders have stopped me; what guidance might you have?"

Having stayed at the Ancestral Pavilion for three months, Ning Fan had somewhat heard of the Four Elders of Ciming.

Currently, all the strong above Shedding Void in the Commercial Pavilion were busy repairing the Heaven Suppressing Bell, leaving mundane affairs unattended, making these four the highest authorities in the main pavilion of the Commercial Pavilion. Naturally, Ning Fan would not be overly dismissive of them.

"Hehe, I am Xun Ci, these three are respectively Daoist Zhao Mingzi, Daoist Wux Wangsun, and Daoist Qux Dongting... The four of us are the current leaders of the main pavilion of the Commercial Pavilion. The reason we stopped you, Immortal Monarch, is that we have a request."

Among the four, an elder with a head full of gray hair explained to Ning Fan with a slight smile.

"Oh? What is Elder Xun’s request?" Ning Fan’s eyes slightly flickered as he inquired.

With his personality, he naturally wouldn’t agree to others’ requests easily, but he could at least listen.

"Hehe, Immortal Monarch came here today, presumably to enter the treasure vault on Dongming Island?" Xun Ci asked with a smile.

"Indeed, that is so."

"To be candid, there’s been a slight issue with the Dongming Island treasure vault..."

Xun Ci sighed with a bitter smile, taking out a jade scroll and handing it to Ning Fan. The jade scroll contained a portion of his spirit sense, recording the event of Dongming Island sinking into the Fourth Layer of the Mist Sea.

After taking the jade scroll, Ning Fan’s spirit sense delved into it, and long after, he withdrew his spirit sense, his brows slightly furrowed.

He had arrived at rather an unfortunate time... Dongming Island, which had always floated in the Second Layer of the Mist Sea, unexpectedly sank into the Fourth Layer last night...

"Is Elder Xun’s request related to this matter?" Ning Fan asked.

"Exactly. I’ve heard, Immortal Monarch, that your divine skills are astonishing, with many restraining powers over rain and mist. I boldly wish to ask you to enter the Fourth Layer and relocate Dongming Island back to the Second Layer... The fog in the Fourth Layer is too strong; even we at the Peak Crossing Truth Realm cannot enter. Even Shedding Void cultivators, if they enter rashly, will have their cultivation suppressed by ninety percent, making it difficult to relocate Dongming Island back to the Second Layer... If not for sensing your arrival, I would have most likely already sent someone to the Heavenly Prison to request the assistance of the Fragmented Thought Senior... I hope Immortal Monarch would kindly lend a hand and assist the Commercial Pavilion in relocating Dongming Island. This item, consider it a token of my gratitude, and I hope Immortal Monarch won’t divulge the intelligence contained within it..." Xun Ci smiled bitterly, took out another jade scroll, and handed it to Ning Fan.

"Elder Xun certainly has great confidence in me... To entrust me with what only a Fragmented Thought Elder can accomplish..." Ning Fan couldn’t help but chuckle, thinking that Xun Ci indeed held him in high regard.

After taking the second jade scroll and scanning it with his spirit sense, Ning Fan’s eyes immediately flickered.

This second jade scroll was Xun Ci’s gift of gratitude, and it astonishingly contained one of the great secrets of the Godly Void Pavilion—secrets regarding the Mist Sea.

These secrets were rarely known to outsiders, generally only known to a very few old monsters of the Godly Void Pavilion.

Ning Fan put away the jade scroll, and when he looked at Xun Ci again, his eyes carried a mix of playful and solemn respect.

"Elder Xun gives me such a generous gift, and I am at a loss for how to repay..." Ning Fan looked at Xun Ci with a smile that was not quite a smile.

"Haha, even if I don’t give this information, I fear others would be willing to gift it to the Immortal Lord to forge good relations with him," Xun Ci laughed heartily.

"...Fine, since I’ve already accepted the elder’s gift, I, Ning Fan, will do my utmost to move Dongming Island back to the second level... Farewell!"

Ning Fan looked deeply at Xun Ci, his figure flickered, and he flew toward the Mist Sea whirlpool.

The second jade scroll given by Xun Ci contained secret information about the Mist Sea.

Only two or three hundred people in the Godly Void Pavilion had the qualifications to know this information.

The Mist Sea is an ancient secret land, consisting of nine layers, a cave mansion left by the former Ancestral Emperor from the Eastern Heaven—Ancestral Demon of the East.

The first layer of the Mist Sea is on the surface, while the other eight layers are in the Earth Abyss beneath the whirlpool.

The mist from the second to fourth layers can only be used for defense, not for cultivation, and is the floating place of Dongming Island.

The spiritual energy is extremely dense from the fifth to eighth layers, only slightly weaker than the Heavenly Prison, and is the cultivation place for many Shedding Void Realm old monsters and Fragmented Thought Elders of the Godly Void Pavilion.

The ninth layer is the location of the Ancestral Demon’s cave mansion, where there are no items, only some bizarre stele engravings.

The words on those steles are ancient and difficult to discern, and no one can understand them.

No one knows what the Ancestral Demon wrote in his cave mansion.

This is the information Xun Ci gave to Ning Fan.

Ning Fan is quite interested in the Ancestral Demon’s cave mansion. If he has the ability to enter the ninth layer of the Mist Sea, he will certainly explore the cave mansion...

"Elder Xun, why did you give the information about the Ancestral Demon’s cave mansion to the Rain Immortal Monarch? Do you think he has the ability to enter the ninth layer?" Elder Wux Wangsun asked in confusion after Ning Fan left.

"Hehe, Daoist Wu, you’re joking. How could this old man expect the Rain Immortal Monarch to enter the ninth layer... Throughout history, only the Shenhao Twin Emperors could enter the ninth layer; even Immortal Kings couldn’t step in. The oppressive force is too strong, forcing entry would only result in severe injury... Only Eternal Immortal Venerables can step into the eighth layer... Only Fragmented Thought Elders can step into the seventh layer... With the Rain Immortal Monarch’s ability to subdue the rain, he’ll most likely reach the sixth layer. For him, the sixth layer is an excellent place for cultivation. This old man gave him the jade scroll, intending to be the first to inform him of this secret as a gesture of goodwill," Xun Ci smiled, leading the other three elders back to the Main Pavilion.

The four of them did not believe Ning Fan could enter below the sixth layer, yet they were all confident in Ning Fan’s ability to move Dongming Island back.

They thought they didn’t underestimate Ning Fan, but apparently, they still did...

...

Once entered the Mist Sea whirlpool, it was equivalent to entering the second layer of the Mist Sea.

The mist in the second layer of the Mist Sea is naturally denser than on the ground. Here, even Crossing Truth Realm cultivators cannot fully exert their power; their cultivations and spirit senses are greatly suppressed.

In the second layer, there are also scattered mist beasts. These mist beasts have low intelligence and cultivation, at most reaching Divinity Transformation.

Ning Fan comprehended the Rain Yin Yang, nurturing a thread of Palm Position Power within, greatly subduing the rain and mist.

Upon entering the second layer, he was not suppressed at all. Instead, his presence caused the mist beasts hiding in the thick fog to tremble in fear...

In the eyes of those low-intelligence mist beasts, Ning Fan was not a cultivator, but rather a drop of rain—a rain that could dominate all rain and mist paths of the world!

With their meager cultivation, Ning Fan could obliterate their existence with a mere thought... They were extremely terrified of Ning Fan!

"So this is the former floating position of Dongming Island..."

Ning Fan stopped his escape light at a certain place in the second layer and spread his spirit sense far and wide.

Amidst the thick fog, there were clearly traces of a manmade formation, likely the original position of Dongming Island.

"Just need to enter the fourth layer and move Dongming Island back here to fulfill Xun Ci’s request..."

Ning Fan’s gaze flashed, and he immediately descended downward.

Suddenly, two small mist beasts darted out in front of him and accidentally collided with him.

These two mist beasts were only the size of a fist, with cultivation equivalent to the Harmonious Spirit level.

They were playing chase, and unluckily bumped into Ning Fan, this unrivaled fierce star...

One of the mist beast’s claws was sharp and even left a blood mark on Ning Fan’s face...

"Howl... Howl..."

The two low-intelligence mist beasts, realizing the great trouble they had caused, immediately got flustered, trembling all over, their demon eyes full of fear and unease.

Though their intelligence was low, they understood they could have triggered a great danger by scratching Ning Fan’s face!

They might be wiped out with a thought by Ning Fan, the nemesis of their rain mist clan!

"Mist beasts, huh..."

Ning Fan glanced briefly at the two mist beasts, touched the blood mark on his face, and with a flash of black star light, the wound instantly vanished.

When he looked at the two small beasts again, there was inquiry, thought, surprise, but no killing intent.

He was not a person of wanton slaughter and wouldn’t act on a killing impulse because of the small beasts’ unintentional mistake.

The only thing that surprised him was that these mist beasts’ claws could penetrate his Heavenly Demon Physical Body defense and leave a blood mark on his face...

The reason they could injure him was not because the paws were particularly sharp... but because these small beasts’ claws inadvertently triggered a thread of the power of the grand force of heaven and earth, breaking his Heavenly Demon Physical Body defense...

"Do not fear... you may go."

With a wave, Ning Fan conjured a breeze from his sleeve, sending the two beasts far away.

With a flicker of Rain Intent in his eyes, his spirit sense instantly merged with all the dense fog in the Second Layer of the Mist Sea.

Closing his eyes, Ning Fan could still clearly identify all the hidden Mist Beasts in this area through his spirit sense in the mist.

The cultivation levels of these Mist Beasts might be low, yet they could more or less harness a trace of the power of dominance.

Though the power they harnessed was not much, it was enough for them to slightly protect themselves when faced with powerful Masters...

"The power of dominance... Is this an innate ability the Mist Beasts here are born with..."

Ning Fan’s gaze slightly tensed as he pondered silently.

After a long while, he finally rolled up his escape light and flew toward deeper layers.

In the Third Layer of the Mist Sea, a Crossing Truth Realm cultivator would be suppressed by ninety percent of their cultivation level upon entering, yet this layer failed to slow Ning Fan’s escape speed in the slightest.

In the Fourth Layer of the Mist Sea, even a Shedding Void Cultivator would find their cultivation level suppressed by ninety percent upon entering. However, at this layer, there was no sign of suppression on Ning Fan’s cultivation at all.

He was a practitioner of Rain Yin Yang, holding a trace of the Palm Rain Power within him.

Only he suppresses the rain and fog; when would the rain and fog ever suppress him!

In the Fourth Layer of the Mist Sea, Dongming Island had already sunk all the way to the bottom.

At the bottom of the Fourth Layer, there was an array light membrane that blocked any cultivator trying to enter the Fifth Layer.

This array light membrane was extremely formidable, only cultivators who mastered the Pass-Through Mnemonic could pass through the formation light and enter the Fifth Layer.

The Pass-Through Mnemonic was what Xun Ci had informed Ning Fan about through a jade scroll.

Without the Pass-Through Mnemonic, even Ning Fan, a Thought-Shattering Cultivator, would not be able to easily pass through this array light membrane.

Being blocked by this array light membrane, Dongming Island naturally sank to the bottom, unable to continue descending to the Fifth Layer.

Gazing at the enormous island before him, as well as the eight treasure vaults on the island, Ning Fan paused in silence for a moment before forming a mnemonic and directly performing the Instant Shift.

In an instant, the enormous Dongming Island flickered and suddenly vanished from the Fourth Layer, reappearing directly above the Second Layer.

This Dongming Island was unexpectedly shifted back to the Second Layer by a single Instant Shift from Ning Fan!

Not hasty to enter Dongming Island’s treasure vault to retrieve treasures, Ning Fan was presently more interested in the Goblin Ancestor’s Cave Mansion in the Ninth Layer of the Mist Sea.

At the moment Dongming Island returned to its place, Xun Ci and others far away in the Main Pavilion of the Commercial Pavilion all smiled knowingly, showing admiration.

Indeed, Ning Fan did not disappoint and moved Dongming Island back.

After moving Dongming Island back, Ning Fan’s figure flickered, escaping towards another direction in the Fourth Layer.

In that direction was a Land of Demons sealed by a hidden formation, precisely the Tablet Nurturing Pool.

Using a token to open the array light, Ning Fan reluctantly placed the Immortalization Stele into the Tablet Nurturing Pool for nourishment. After resealing the array light, he turned and left.

Once its energy was depleted, it would require a thousand years of nourishment, within which Ning Fan could no longer use the Immortalization Stele.

This item would temporarily return to the Godly Void Pavilion for nourishment...

Upon leaving the Tablet Nurturing Pool, Ning Fan immediately utilized the Pass-Through Mnemonic to enter the Fifth Layer of the Mist Sea.

As soon as he entered the Fifth Layer, the twenty-six old monsters cultivating there all opened their eyes, seemingly sensing Ning Fan’s direction.

The lowest cultivation level among these old monsters cultivating here was the Initiate Realm of Shekong, while the highest was even at the Late Stage of Shekong!

Those cultivating here were old monsters of the Godly Void Pavilion who had been in seclusion for years, indifferent to external rumors, solely focused on cultivation.

The only task given to them by the Godly Void Pavilion was cultivation... Over time, they would become the peak force of the next generation in the Godly Void Pavilion.

"What! Ghost Profound Peak-Stage! How is it possible! How could a cultivator at Ghost Profound Peak-Stage have the ability to enter the Fifth Layer of the Mist Sea! Could this person be hiding their cultivation! Humph, truly putting on airs!"

"I cannot see clearly... The fog here is too thick. Even we Shedding Void Realm old monsters can only extend our spirit sense a thousand Zhang outward, and our sight can only penetrate a Zhang or so distance... We cannot make out this person’s appearance, though their aura seems unfamiliar... Could they be a newly joined Shedding Void Realm old monster?"

"In the Fifth Layer of the Mist Sea, there are only twenty-six optimal spiritual qi spots... With his arrival, he will inevitably compete with one of us for a seclusion cave mansion..."

Upon thinking about this, the expressions of the twenty-six Shedding Void Realm old monsters in seclusion became indeterminate.

Their gaze towards Ning Fan also carried a tinge of outsider hostility...

What surprised them was that Ning Fan did not linger long in the Fifth Layer, nor did he have any thoughts of competing for the twenty-six cave mansions of the Fifth Layer.

As soon as he entered the Fifth Layer, Ning Fan swiftly headed towards the Sixth Layer of the Mist Sea.

"What! This person is actually heading to the Sixth Layer! Could it be he actually possesses Peak of Shekong cultivation level!"

"Without a Peak of Shekong cultivation level, entering the Sixth Layer of the Mist Sea recklessly would directly result in being repelled by the fog!"

Their gazes shifting, Ning Fan directly charged into the Sixth Layer of the Mist Sea without being repelled.

"This person is indeed a Peak of Shekong Cultivator! No... Even a Peak of Shekong Cultivator would cautiously enter the Sixth Layer, never as easily as this... Could he actually be a Fragmented Thought Elder!" the twenty-six old monsters all speculated.

In the Sixth Layer of the Mist Sea, the fog was no longer silver but red, a light red like vermilion.

There were fourteen naturally formed red fog cave mansions in the Sixth Layer of the Mist Sea. Only two of these cave mansions were unoccupied, while the other twelve all had Peak of Shekong cultivators in seclusion.

At the moment Ning Fan arrived, the twelve Peak of Shekong all opened their eyes simultaneously.

"Ghost Profound Peak Stage? No, it should be the hidden cultivation at the Peak of Shekong... Is this Daoist also here to cultivate? Fortunately, there are still two cave mansions vacant on this level, so there won’t be a fight over them..."

The old monsters settled down, each closing their eyes and returning to their cultivation state.

A few breaths later, these old monsters simultaneously opened their eyes, one after another leaving their cave mansions, gazing towards the direction of the seventh layer!

In their incredulous expressions, Ning Fan stepped into the seventh layer of the Mist Sea!

"This person... is actually a Thought-Shattering Cultivator! No mistake, to enter the seventh layer, one must undoubtedly be a Thought-Shattering Cultivator!"

"The spiritual energy in the seventh layer of the Mist Sea is three times that of the sixth layer. Cultivating there is extremely fast..."

All twelve Peak of Shekong Cultivators revealed envious expressions, envious that Ning Fan could enter the seventh layer to cultivate.

In the seventh layer of the Mist Sea, Ning Fan finally felt the difficulty of taking a step forward.

Although he had cultivated Rain Yin Yang, it was not unsealed, arriving at this layer, his cultivation was nearly completely suppressed by the mist power of this layer.

The mist in the seventh layer was black, in the swirling black mist, nine cave mansions appeared indistinctly on this layer.

Of the nine cave mansions, four were vacant, while the other five were occupied by Thought-Shattering cultivators.

Among the five Thought-Shattering, four were Initiate Stage, one was Intermediate Stage. The moment Ning Fan arrived, the five all opened their eyes but shook their heads slightly and closed their eyes again.

"Once this person entered the seventh layer, their cultivation was completely suppressed, unable to move a step... It seems likely that this person is a cultivator who has just stepped into the Thought-Shattering Realm, with an unstable realm... What a pity, an unstable Thought-Shattering realm is unable to cultivate in this layer’s cave mansion. After suffering enough, this person will likely retreat back to the sixth layer..."

However, to their disbelief, Ning Fan did not retreat back to the sixth layer.

A few breaths later, the Rain Star between Ning Fan’s brows unsealed, and a burst of unimaginable rain mist power exploded from his body.

At this moment, the mist power of the entire seventh layer of the Mist Sea seemed to obey Ning Fan’s command!

Once Ning Fan unsealed the Rain Yin Yang power, he immediately disregarded all mist power and charged towards the eighth layer of the Mist Sea!

Instantly, the five Thought-Shattering old monsters all stood up in shock, looking incredulously towards the direction of the eighth layer!

"Eternal Immortal Venerable! This person is indeed an Eternal Immortal Venerable! If not, this person would never be able to step into the eighth layer of the Mist Sea!"

"The aura of this Eternal Immortal Venerable is so unfamiliar, even though we have closed door cultivation here for millions of years, we shouldn’t fail to recognize this person... Could it be that this person is a Newly Ascended Immortal Venerable?"

This doubt arose not only in the minds of the five Thought-Shattering old monsters on the seventh floor but also in the minds of the four Eternal Immortal Venerables on the eighth floor.

In the eighth layer, there were five cave mansions in total, but only three Eternal Immortal Venerables were in closed-door cultivation here.

Seeing Ning Fan’s arrival, the three Eternal Immortal Venerables immediately all walked out of their cave mansions to welcome Ning Fan, clasping their fists with extreme politeness,

"Daoist Friend, you seem unfamiliar. Are you a Newly Ascended Immortal Venerable? What may we call you?"

"Junior Ning Fan, I greet the three Immortal Venerables." The three Immortal Venerables treated Ning Fan politely, so naturally, Ning Fan would not be arrogant and politely returned the salute.

Upon hearing Ning Fan refer to himself as junior, the three Immortal Venerables were all stunned and thought to themselves that Ning Fan was most likely a Newly Ascended Immortal Venerable, not yet accustomed to the status of an Immortal Venerable, hence referring to himself as junior.

The three were not overly assuming, affirming in their hearts that Ning Fan was an Eternal Immortal Venerable and naturally still referred to him as a Daoist friend.

After a brief exchange, Ning Fan also learned the names of these three Eternal Immortal Venerables.

Among the three Immortal Venerables, the old man dressed in black was named Cloud Thunder Celestial Venerate, possessing the cultivation of the Second Calamity of the Eternals.

The other two Immortal Venerables both possessed the cultivation of the First Calamity of the Eternals.

After a simple introduction, the three Immortal Venerables returned to their cave mansions to continue their closed-door cultivation.

Ning Fan did not choose to cultivate in a cave mansion on the eighth layer. His intention was for the demon ancestor’s cave mansion on the ninth layer of the Mist Sea.

When Cloud Thunder Celestial Venerate and the others perceived Ning Fan heading straight for the ninth layer, they all smiled slightly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Any Immortal Venerable or Immortal King capable of entering the eighth layer would undoubtedly, out of curiosity, attempt to break into the ninth layer of the Mist Sea.

However, it’s a pity that only the Shenhao Twin Emperors have the strength to enter the ninth layer of the Mist Sea. Even an Immortal King of the Fifth Calamity of the Eternals attempting to rush in would result in nothing but being repelled.

They had all tried entering the ninth layer themselves, but unfortunately, with their Immortal Venerable cultivation, they could not succeed.

From their view, Ning Fan certainly would not enter either... After all, Ning Fan was but a ’Newly Ascended Immortal Venerable’.

Newly Ascended Immortal Venerable sounds good, but it is, in fact, a Zero Tribulation Celestial Venerate, one who has not yet undergone the baptism of the ’Tribulation of Measure’.

The First Calamity of the Eternals is not the weakest realm among Immortal Venerables; the weakest is the Zero Tribulation Celestial Venerate, which when put nicely, is a Newly Ascended Immortal Venerable.

"I wonder how many breaths this person can withstand in the ninth layer. Back when I first stepped into the Timeless Realm, I also attempted to enter the ninth layer but could only withstand three breaths before being repelled..." Cloud Thunder Celestial Venerate muttered.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths... Ten breaths passed, and Ning Fan was still not repelled, the expressions of the three Immortal Venerables began to change from calm to unrest.

Twenty breaths, thirty breaths, forty breaths... After a hundred breaths, Ning Fan still had not returned to the eighth layer, the expressions of the three Immortal Venerables had turned to shock and amazement!

Eventually, Ning Fan was not expelled by the mist power of the ninth layer!

Cloud Thunder Celestial Venerate and others gasped collectively, looking incredulously towards the ninth layer of the Mist Sea!

"Could it be that Daoist Ning is not a Newly Ascended Immortal Venerable, but an... Immortal Emperor!"

"If not, how could he have the strength to enter the ninth layer of the Mist Sea! He is indeed an Immortal Emperor! When did such a Great Emperor appear within the Eastern Heaven!"
