Grasping the Evil-Chapter 977: Yin and Yang

The voices of the two Carp Kings, using Great Divine Power, echoed throughout the Three Thousand Painted Realms around Ning Fan.

Both of these Carp Kings only had the cultivation of a Second Calamity Quasi-Saint, but when their voices combined for some reason, it exuded an overwhelming aura, causing severe pain in Ning Fan’s ears, humming and resounding!

So powerful, just what kind of monstrous creature is hidden deep in the Pictorial Realm, such that its mere voice can cause my eardrums pain!

Comparable to ancient great cultivator!

It must be understood that Ning Fan, at this moment, had four aspects of cultivation elevated to the peak of the Nine Tribulations, his body filled with power, completely not inferior to a First Order Quasi-Saint, yet still somewhat unable to bear the impact of this voice’s might...

"Immortal Emperor, is this calling out to me... what does it mean to extinguish a clan’s fate, could it be related to the Black Cat transforming into a bow... What force is this Dao Carp Lineage, in my cultivation journey, it is the first time I’ve heard of this name, are these White Carp and Black Carp all belonging to the Dao Carp Lineage..."

Ning Fan’s gaze slightly flickered.

The two voices, though strong, were full of fear. Ning Fan knew that these two voices were definitely not afraid of him but were afraid of his little kitten.

The little kitten had already transformed into a Black Bow, which seemed like a mere illusion and not a physical entity. Even so, it gave Ning Fan a heart-pounding sensation, a feeling he had only experienced when first facing the God-Extinguishing Shield!

It was the imposing pressure of a Heaven-Opening Artifact!

The Black Bow transformed by the little kitten was likely a shadow of the Heaven-Opening Artifact!

The only confusing part for Ning Fan was the strange familiarity he felt towards this Black Bow.

It seemed, he had seen this bow somewhere, yet seemingly... never seen it before...

He was very sure that in his lifetime he had never seen this bow, was this strange familiarity merely an illusion...

"Immortal Emperor, calm your anger, this bow must not be opened, it must not be opened!"

The voices of the two Carp Kings pleading for mercy continued to sound, yet the Black Cat maintained a completely indifferent attitude. Only now thinking of begging for mercy? Too late! Mere Dao Carp dared to deceive her master, she will not let this matter rest easily!

"Give me the flesh and blood of the Dao Carp I swallowed, to form the string of the Royal Bow!"

The voice of the Black Cat came out, and the Black Bow she had transformed into suddenly flashed with black light, forming a bowstring.

The bowstring was formed from the Dao Carp flesh she previously swallowed. The strings and arrows of the Royal Bow require the sacrifice of certain things to be gained; if no price is paid, the bow cannot be opened to kill!

"Without sacrificing, nothing can be gained... The way of this bow somewhat resembles the Sha Lan Sect..." Ning Fan had a look of recollection, suddenly remembering that in the Immemorial Fisherman’s Raincoat Painting, he promised Old Ancestor She Lan to kill the Sect Master of Western Heavenly Path...

Yes, this cause and effect will have to be repaid one day, but unfortunately, today is not the time to go to the Western Heaven...

As the bowstring transformed, the expressions of the four Quasi-Saint Carp Generals changed dramatically. Finally, they sensed the lethal threat on the Black Bow.

The feeling was like having a knife’s edge pressed against their throats, and then the knife’s edge slowly pierced in, such deepening oppression was suffocating...

"What kind of bow is this! This bow must be extremely terrifying; otherwise, with the pride of two kings, it would be absolutely impossible to bow their heads to this fox!"

The four Quasi-Saint Carp Generals sensed danger, and without another word, attempted to escape, but unfortunately, where could they escape to.

"Give me the Essence of the Sun and Moon I have swallowed for seven million years, to form the Liangyi Seven Stars Arrow!"

As the Black Cat’s voice fell, her aura suddenly weakened significantly. The weakened part transformed into an arrow light intertwined with black and white, swirled around the Black Bow into a circle, amidst the arrow shadow, faint starlight emitted...

Then, with just a thought from the Black Cat, the black and white arrow autonomously flew to the bowstring, opening the bow!

This Black Bow opened entirely by the will of the Black Cat, needing no assistance from Ning Fan.

Ning Fan slightly furrowed his brows, with his sight, how could he not discern that to materialize a black and white arrow, the Black Cat actually sacrificed the power of her own Dao Spirit’s source, causing its rank to drop...

This Black Cat truly regarded him as the master; naturally, he would also regard her sincerely as a footman.

Between him and these Dao Carp, there was no deep hatred, if attacking these Dao Carp would cause the Black Cat’s rank to drop, he would rather let these Dao Carp escape.

And what puzzled Ning Fan was that this black and white arrow also gave him an oddly familiar feeling...

This black and white arrow contained pure power of the Dao Source of Yin and the Dao Source of Yang! And the operational trajectory of these two Dao Sources was somewhat similar to the cultivation technique Yin Yang Transformation, as for the starlight in the arrow shadow, for some unknown reason, it seemed somewhat similar to the Slaughter Hall’s Reverse Big Dipper technique...

The starlight seemed to plunder others’ fate...

"Strange, could this black and white arrow have some connection with Ancient Chaos and the Big Dipper Immortal Domain..." Ning Fan pondered slightly.

The next moment, the Black Bow opened!

The moment the bow opened, Ning Fan’s gaze suddenly contracted; even with his sight of the Second Realm of Tianren, he could not clearly see the afterimage of the black and white arrow leaving the string.

The speed at which this black and white arrow left the string was too fast! This speed seemed enough to transcend time and space, already beyond the comprehension of the second step of cultivation, giving people a profound sense that there was no way to evade!

"Not good!"

Feeling the black and white arrow leaving the string, the expressions of the two Carp Kings changed drastically, and the four Quasi-Saint Dao Carp who hurriedly attempted to flee suddenly had their scalps tingle in that instant!

No arrow shadow could be seen shooting in, but, Carp Four at this very moment, let out the first scream, his massive fish body suddenly bizarrely enlarged, indescribable pain surged throughout, striking down upon him, as his body expanded to the limit, then suddenly like a balloon, with a bang, directly exploded!

Flesh and blood scattered!

Then from his remnants, a strange black and white arrow light darted out, flickered once, and disappeared again.

"This... this... what kind of arrow is this! When did it get shot into Carp Four’s body!" The remaining three Quasi-Saints broke out in cold sweat.

Even more inexplicable for them was that with Carp Four’s death, they felt their own fate had weakened slightly...

No, to be precise, it wasn’t their personal fate that had weakened, but rather... clan’s fate, the fate of the entire clan!

Fate is heaven’s recognition, if a person’s fate isn’t high, then life won’t be smooth, if a clan’s fate isn’t high, then the whole clan cannot prosper, cannot produce peak powerhouses.

The three Quasi-Saints could only vaguely sense that the arrow just now had oddly weakened the Dao Carp Lineage’s fate, but they couldn’t see deeper meaning.

Only the two Carp Kings realized it accurately.

The arrow just now, killing Carp Four was a small matter, the trouble is, it directly took away about five hundred colors of the Dao Carp lineage’s tribal fortune!

"It’s tragic, it’s really irreparable now! The Carp Saint has been exhausting his efforts for countless years for our lineage, spending ten rounds of time, to strategize and obtain one hundred thousand colors of tribal fortune from the cracks between various clans. Now you and I have lost five hundred colors of tribal fortune in one go, the Carp Saint will definitely be enraged! In this way, even if we are lucky enough to return to the Real Realm one day, it will be difficult to escape severe punishment..."

Thinking of the ruthless and heartless nature of the Carp Saint, madness appeared in the eyes of the two Carp Kings, and at this moment, following Carp Four, Carp Three’s fish body similarly started to expand!

This Carp Three, unexpectedly also had that black and white arrow shot into his body at some unknown time!

No, we cannot let Carp Three die again. Losing five hundred colors of tribal fortune would at most be a crime of imprisonment, but if we lose more than a thousand colors, I’m afraid we’ll be crippled of seven-tenths of our cultivation once we return to the Real Realm!

"Jiuli Malicious Spirit! You’ve gone too far in bullying! You destroy five hundred colors of tribal fortune of my Dao Carp lineage, this enmity cannot coexist under the same sky, never shall rest until death! Roar!!!"

The two Carp Kings didn’t know what price they paid, but they directly broke all the chains on their bodies, temporarily relieving themselves from the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Iron’s restraint, and charged out madly toward where Ning Fan was, the frenzied killing intent nearly froze the sky of the three thousand layers of the Pictorial Realm at the same time!

"Five hundred colors of tribal fortune, what does it mean..." Ning Fan was slightly moved, not understanding what the black cat did, causing the vicious creatures in the depths of the Pictorial Realm to erupt with such insane killing intent.

The black cat was indifferent to the killing intent of the two Carp Kings. Although her level was not high, if she put her life on the line, she might not necessarily fail to kill these two Carp Kings!

"Sacrifice another seven million years of Essence of the Sun and Moon... kill!"

With the sound of the black cat, her breath severely weakened again. At the same time, Carp Three’s body completely burst, dying with a final breath!

The tribal fortune of the Dao Carp lineage weakened by another five hundred colors!

"No!!!"

The two Carp Kings’ eyes were blood-red, and they had only reached the 2980th layer, still far from where Ning Fan was.

They lost one thousand colors of tribal fortune from the Dao Carp Clan, the Carp Saint would not easily forgive them...

Unforgivable, unless they kill Ning Fan and this Jiuli, they swore not to return to being fish!

"Sacrifice another seven million years of Essence of the Sun and Moon... form the third arrow!"

Black cat’s tone was already somewhat breathless, it was obvious that making three shots continuously was not an easy burden.

As she finished speaking, Carp Two’s body began to expand, reaching the extremity in an instant.

Carp Two’s fish face twisted in fear, wanting to resist but could do nothing, only exploding into fragments of blood and flesh in the air...

The tribal fortune of the Dao Carp lineage reduced by another five hundred colors!

"Fifteen hundred colors! With the personality of Lord Carp Saint, how would he spare our lives!" The two Carp Kings in frenzy had resolved to die, this time, they wanted to burn the jade and stone alike, and kill Ning Fan and black cat in the Pictorial Realm!

"The last arrow..."

The black cat’s voice trembled a bit, she couldn’t bear the immense consumption of the Royal Bow’s shadow.

After all, what she commanded was the fragmented Heavenly Dao of the primitive and wild, even though she had commanded it for countless years, she hadn’t absorbed much of the Essence of the Sun and Moon... this time, to vent a breath of evil for Ning Fan, she was utterly determined to use up all the power accumulated over countless years.

"Enough. There’s no need to shoot the fourth arrow, let’s go."

Ning Fan suddenly reached out his hand, touching the black bow lightly, with the gentle stroke, the black cat could no longer maintain the bow form, reverting to her cat shape, her body became illusionary, noticeably weakened by the previous three arrows.

The black cat’s Dao Soul level nearly dropped below the realm of the Secondary Emperor Soul, if the fourth arrow was shot, although she might kill another Carp One, it would inevitably degrade the black cat to fall completely from the realm of Dao Soul.

Not worth it!

"Master, didn’t you say to leave none alive..." Black cat was still quite displeased, it was really unwilling to let those who schemed against the master Dao Carp go.

But that’s the master’s order, if the master doesn’t allow her to shoot the fourth arrow, even if a Saint forces her, she would definitely not shoot the fourth arrow!

"Here, this is the spoils of war obtained by Black Evil Sect using the Ninth Technique..."

Black cat shook her tail, immediately three light spheres appeared in front of Ning Fan.

Each of the light spheres had five hundred colors, resplendent and eye-catching, Ning Fan saw this thing for the first time, not knowing what it was, yet he faintly felt it was absolutely no ordinary thing.

"This is..." Ning Fan still wanted to ask what this was, when over there, the black cat had already fainted from being too weak.

Indeed, not letting her forcibly shoot the fourth arrow was correct...

Although the Jiuli Clan subdued the Dao Carp, the little kitten’s level was too low, killing across ranks was not as easy as it appeared...

"Enough, you rest first."

Ning Fan flipped his hand, taking the black cat and three light spheres back into the Xuan Yin Treasure, after thinking for a while, he also collected the blood and flesh of the three dead Carp Generals and Carp Eyes along the escape route of the various Carp Generals.

The Carp Eyes were naturally needed by Daoist Wood Pine, those fish flesh, maybe they could be fed to the little kitten, perhaps after supplementing them, she wouldn’t be so weak.

"The little kitten can no longer fight, with my own cultivation, I should not stay here for long, it’s better to leave the Pictorial Realm quickly..."

Thinking of this, Ning Fan urged his speed to the maximum, turning to flee towards the first layer of the Pictorial Realm.

Carp One fled all the way, not daring to look back, Carp Two, Carp Three, Carp Four’s deaths were like shadows covering his heart, that scene, was too terrifying! Unable to defend, certain death, in front of the divine skills of Jiuli, his First Order Quasi-Saint Dao Carp cultivation was utterly unable to resist!

"Can’t stop it, must flee..."

He desperately escaped to the depths of the Pictorial Realm, not knowing that the black cat had long fainted, and Ning Fan didn’t pursue, but instead fled out of the Pictorial Realm.

The two Carp Kings already held a firm intention to kill Ning Fan, yet unfortunately they hadn’t arrived before Ning Fan fled through the Pictorial Realm...

He’s a cunning lad, seeing the situation wasn’t right, he ran faster than anyone else!

"The brat is hateful! The brat is hateful, ah! Roar!!!"

The two Carp Kings roared to the sky, venting their discontent and anger, with this roar, the entire Pictorial Realm seemed to be washed away with oil paint by rainwater, the scenery wiped away a layer, undergoing changes.

In the originally empty Pictorial Realm world, countless bloody eyeballs suddenly appeared, not fish eyes, but human eyeballs, floating in the air, extremely strange.

Every eyeball was filled with blood strands, all were filled with the madness, hatred, and fear right before death!

These eyeballs are all from cultivators of the Gold Talisman Palace!

These eyeballs have existed in every layer of the Painting World since ancient times. After Ning Fan entered the Painting World, he also passed by these eyeballs countless times.

But unfortunately, Ning Fan couldn’t see these blood-red human eyes...

What Ning Fan didn’t know was that what Daoist Wood Pine wanted him to retrieve was actually these blood-stained human eyes he hadn’t seen, rather than the Dao Carp’s fish eyes...

...

Outside, in the Wood Palm Space Void.

Both Daoist Wood Pine and Xiang Mingzi had a shocked expression, as the Golden Sky Black Earth Painting hanging in front of them was trembling violently at this moment. Without a doubt, unimaginable activity had occurred within the Painting World!

"Could it be that Young Friend Ning Fan has actually stirred the two Dao Carp Kings in the depths of the Painting World! Otherwise, this painting could not possibly tremble like this!" Daoist Wood Pine exclaimed.

Recalling the terrifying nature of the two Dao Carp Kings, even with his cultivation, his expression couldn’t help but darken a bit.

Without the power of an Ancient Great Cultivator, it’s absolutely impossible to fight against two Carp Kings, not to mention that there are many powerful Carp Generals in the Painting World...

"Quick! We can’t wait any longer! We two must join forces to swiftly pull Young Friend Ning out of the Painting World!" Xiang Mingzi said urgently.

Daoist Wood Pine nodded, but his expression couldn’t hide a trace of disappointment.

Within the Painting World, the Sun Realm Eyes are many, but they are all hidden between heaven and earth. Only those cultivators who have opened their eyes can locate those Sun Realm Eyes.

If someone in the Painting World had opened their eyes, this painting would definitely display something, but it did not...

Did Young Friend Ning Fan not succeed in opening his eyes within the Painting World?

So, instead, this child has only one alternative to acquire a Sun Realm Eye, which is to kill a Dao Carp.

However, the grade of the Dao Carp’s carp eye is mostly too low...

With this thought, Daoist Wood Pine sighed again, "In the end, this child’s talent still falls short of Senluo... After all, Senluo once opened his eyes within this painting, his talent rivaling mine, but this child cannot do it. I originally thought that as the inheritor of the Ancient Chaotic Grand Emperor, it would be easier for him to open his eyes, but now it seems, ha, I have overestimated him..."

While Daoist Wood Pine sighed, he activated his Divine Skills and, together with Xiang Mingzi, attempted to pull Ning Fan out of the Painting World.

However, before the two could assist him, Ning Fan had already burst out of the Golden Sky Black Earth Painting and returned in front of them.

"Young Friend may not have opened his eyes, but his escape speed isn’t slow. In this way, Old Xiang and I won’t need to pay a price to save you, haha, it makes things easier."

Daoist Wood Pine seemed to be smiling, but his tone was rather dull. Whether it was an illusion or not, Ning Fan seemed to hear a hint of mockery in Wood Pine’s tone.

What does it mean to escape quickly... Why does this sound a bit awkward...

Forget it, Daoist Wood Pine is known for his sarcasm. This was something Senior Xiang Mingzi had warned me about, so there’s no need to pay too much attention to Wood Pine’s tone.

Xiang Mingzi was quite satisfied with Ning Fan. Two Dao Carp Kings had already mobilized, yet Ning Fan was still able to safely escape from the Painting World, indicating that this child was extraordinary.

"Well, did you successfully bring out what Old Wood needed?" Xiang Mingzi asked with a smile.

Unlike Daoist Wood Pine, he had full confidence in Ning Fan.

"I brought it out, but I’m not sure if this item is indeed the eye that Senior Wood Pine needs..."

Ning Fan didn’t mind Wood Pine’s coldness, flipping his hand to take out an eyeball.

Wood Pine immediately paused, unexpectedly Ning Fan, without opening his eyes, actually brought out a Sun Realm Eye, indeed, he must have slain a Dao Carp...

Haha, the Dao Carp’s eye grade isn’t as good as the cultivators of the Gold Talisman Palace. In terms of grade, the eyes of the Gold Talisman Palace cultivators rank as middle-ranked, while the eyes of ordinary Dao Carps can only be considered low grade. Only a Quasi-Saint cultivated Dao Carp’s eye can reach middle-ranked, barely on par with an ordinary eye of a Gold Talisman Palace cultivator. Haha, even if this child’s cultivation inflated within the Painting World, it’s impossible for him to kill a Quasi-Saint Dao Carp. Dao Carps are so difficult to kill, and Wood Pine has firsthand experience of this...

The eye Ning Fan obtained was probably just a low-grade Sun Realm Eye.

Forget it, the fact that this child managed to obtain a low-grade eye is already very rare, I will reluctantly make a move for him once...

Wood Pine took the eye handed over by Ning Fan with a hint of disappointment and casually probed it with his spirit sense.

With this probe, his initially calm demeanor immediately turned to shock. This eye... is actually middle-ranked!

"Did you open your eyes? Did you see the tens of thousands of eyeballs floating in the Painting World?" Wood Pine said in surprise.

"Open eyes? Floating tens of thousands of eyeballs?" Ning Fan paused slightly, how could he possibly know there were tens of thousands of eyeballs floating in the Painting World.

"You... didn’t see them? Indeed, you didn’t open your eyes, so, did you snatch this eye from a Quasi-Saint Carp General..." Wood Pine set aside the previous condescension.

Although Ning Fan hadn’t opened his eyes, being able to enter the Painting World with his Eon-old Tribulation Cultivation and seize a Quasi-Saint’s eye is considered exceedingly rare.

At least... Xiang Mingzi couldn’t accomplish such a feat...

"Good! Being able to bring back a Sun Realm Eye is enough to exchange for my action once. I certainly won’t sit by and ignore your feud with the Dark Clan!"

Daoist Wood Pine flipped his hand to store the eye away, unaware that Ning Fan had five more of these eyes. He also didn’t know that Ning Fan killed a total of three Quasi-Saint Dao Carps on this trip!

Of course, strictly speaking, those three Dao Carps were not killed by Ning Fan, but by the Black Cat...

Ning Fan didn’t bring out all six eyeballs. Since the eye was valued so highly by Wood Pine, it surely had great use. Presenting one to get Wood Pine to take action was already enough; the rest could be kept for the time being...

Seeing Wood Pine finally agree to help Ning Fan, Xiang Mingzi breathed a sigh of relief—thus, the goal of coming to Mu Island was completely achieved.

Xiang Mingzi was in a good mood, and Wood Pine, having obtained a Sun Realm Eye, was also delighted. He uncharacteristically set up a banquet on Mu Island to warmly host Ning Fan and his party.

During the banquet, a natural discussion of Dao ensued between the group. Ning Fan, able to exchange cultivation experiences with two Quasi-Saints, gained a lot, and as the wine reached its midpoint, the conversation naturally shifted to the Sun Realm Eye.

Wood Pine, not withholding information, explained to Ning Fan the marvelous uses of the Sun Realm Eye, only then did Ning Fan realize that he hadn’t used the method Wood Pine had expected to retrieve the eye...

Xiang Mingzi was also greatly astonished. It was only today he learned that the correct Palatial Void method was to open one’s eyes... No wonder the Dark Clan had used an unparalleled divine skill to rob him of his sense of sight back then—it turned out they were attempting to destroy his potential to open his eyes...

"Opening your eyes is the correct way to cultivate the Palatial Void, and is simultaneously a step that must be taken to reach the Second Rank of the Quasi-Saint..."

Mu Song sighed and looked at Xiang Mingzi, who was also a bit gloomy, thinking no wonder he couldn’t step into the second rank of Quasi-Saint; it turned out the issue lay here...

"The so-called enlightenment is not as simple as its surface meaning; it requires seeing the other side of the world. Every world has two sides, the Yin side and the Yang side. The world we are in is the Dreamland Realm, and what we usually see is actually... just the Yin side of the Dreamland Realm..."

Ning Fan, Xiang Mingzi, Wu Laoba, and the group of Mu Island Sect Members showed expressions of confusion to varying degrees, listening seemingly understanding yet not fully. On this, Mu Song could only express deep helplessness, as these people had not seen the Yang side of the world with their own eyes, and listening to his explanation would naturally seem abstract.

"... In short, we, the people of the Dreamland Realm, are essentially people of the Yin world, the part of the world not acknowledged by the Heavens, unable to live in the Yang world unless... one can open their eyes in the Yang world."

They couldn’t understand! Wu Laoba scratched his ears and cheeks, knowing that what Mu Song said was precious, yet he just couldn’t grasp it...

"Everything has Yin and Yang, brightness and darkness, like people have shadows, leaves have roots. The people of the Yin world cannot be said to be nonexistent; they are just unable to be recognized by the great Tao... We, cultivators of the Dreamland Realm, if we wish to become Saints, must not only seek completeness but also move from Yin to Yang... However, this step is extremely difficult..."

Senior Mu, don’t talk about becoming Saints, that’s too distant! Talk about breaking through the Second Calamity of the Eternals! I’m more interested in that!

Wu Laoba secretly complained internally, yet naturally didn’t dare to speak his thoughts aloud.

"In the Dreamland Realm, there are three clans: God, Yin Yang Transformation, and Demon, and these three clans are not acknowledged by the great Tao... so, I switched to cultivating Buddha..."

What? The three clans are not acknowledged by the great Tao? How come I’ve never heard of this!

Wu Laoba looked at Mu Song skeptically, secretly thinking perhaps the spiritual wine was too strong, intoxicated Mu Song, and he started talking nonsense?

"There was once a sect called the Gold Talisman Palace, whose Golden Talisman Ancestor was said to have significant connections with the Dao Soul Clan. Most of the disciples within this sect could open their eyes and see the Yang world within the Yin world... Such eyes that have seen the Yang world for themselves mostly retained scenes of the Yang world, called the ’Eyes of the Yang World’. Later, the Gold Talisman Palace encountered an unknown incident and was obliterated, and the sect’s treasure—the Golden Sky Black Earth Painting—fell into my hands after several transfers. This painting is filled with extremely powerful Yin Yang power, which can aid cultivators in perfectly integrating their Spirit and Emperor energy, increasing the success rate of breaking through the Immortal Emperor bottleneck. Naturally, what I value more are the countless ’Eyes of the Yang World’ hidden in the painting... It’s a pity you haven’t opened your eyes, otherwise, you should be able to see the countless bloody eyeballs floating in the Pictorial Realm..."

Mu Song sighed slightly, determined that Ning Fan’s aptitude was inferior to Senluo, unable to open his eyes in the Pictorial Realm, which served as proof.

"The Eyes of the Yang World can help cultivators open their eyes and help those who have already opened their eyes see more scenes... It’s a pity you didn’t acquire more eyeballs from the Pictorial Realm, otherwise, you could use some for yourself, which would be beneficial..." When saying this, Mu Song observed Ning Fan’s expression and saw him showing a look of regret, unable to help but shake his head secretly.

It seems this child indeed only got one eyeball from the Pictorial Realm... If this child had more eyeballs, he might try to obtain them...

Ning Fan’s face was full of regret, but internally, he sighed, thinking that Mu Song could be a strong ally but not someone to deeply befriend. Interactions with him should have some reservations, unlike the casual manner with Xiang Mingzi.

"Speaking of which, every cultivator sees their own scene when they open their eyes... When I opened my eyes back then, I saw a scene of a woodcutter chopping pines and comprehended the source of wood, thereby creating my own Palatial Void. As for Senluo’s child, he reportedly saw a scene of a woman feeding eagles with her flesh... the specific image, however, he hasn’t mentioned, only he knows..."

Woodcutter chopping pines...

Feeding eagles with flesh...

Ning Fan silently pondered, if he used up the five eyeballs he had, he wondered if he could open his eyes and see his own scene.

After listening to the teachings, mostly everyone hadn’t gained much insight from Mu Song, except for Ning Fan and Xiang Mingzi, who occasionally showed thoughtful expressions.

After the banquet, Ning Fan made a request to Daoist Mu Song, wanting to look at the various ancient tomes on Mu Island.

Daoist Mu Song had collected many lost ancient tomes, and quite a few were related to Buddha Talisman and Symbol of Devil Raising, along with many cultivation technique classics, which could verify the first volume of Ning Fan’s self-created Dao Scripture. Anyway, since he was at Mu Island, Ning Fan naturally wanted to look at those ancient tomes. This wasn’t a big deal, and Daoist Mu Song agreed to Ning Fan’s request.

However, Dao Crystals had to be paid to see the books!

Daoist Mu Song was skilled at accounting and took Dao Crystals not for large profits but to avoid owing Ning Fan any karmic debt, which was also a kind gesture.

Ning Fan didn’t have many Dao Crystals, but not too few either, making sure he definitely had enough for reading. Mu Song was indeed an outstanding figure in Eastern Heaven; his collection included many rare tomes, greatly enhancing Ning Fan’s knowledge.

The collection even included records on the Dao Soul Clan!

"... The Dao has Spirit; those who take the Spirit from Yang are called Dao Soul, and those who take the Spirit from Yin are called Demon Soul..."

"... The Dao has Form; those who take the Form from Yang are called Buddha, and those who take the Form from Yin are called Demon..."

"... The Dao has Mind; those who take the Mind from Yang are called Abandoned, and those who take the Mind from Yin are called God..."

"... The Dao has Dust; those who take the Dust from Yang are called Ghost Servant, and those who take the Dust from Yin are called Pluck..."

"... The Dao has..."

Afterward, there seemed to be more text, but because it was a fragmented tome, it couldn’t be seen.

Ning Fan silently pondered, linking this book with Mu Song’s words, appearing to have gained insight into the God, Yin Yang Transformation, Demon, and other clans.

Buddha Talisman and Symbol of Devil Raising correspond; one cultivates Buddha Talisman, one cultivates Symbol of Devil Raising, could they be a relationship of Yang and Yin?

Dao Soul, Demon Soul... Ghost Servant, Pluck... Could they also be a relationship of Yang and Yin?

As for the Abandoned that corresponds with God cultivators, what’s that...

The back of the ancient tome even introduced the Dao Soul Clan, including a special introduction to the Jiuli.

Concerning his own Little Black Kitten, Ning Fan certainly cared deeply and carefully read through the introduction focused on the Jiuli Clan.

The introduction wasn’t detailed, but there was a sentence that drastically changed Ning Fan’s expression, showing a serious look.

"... Of everything in the world, according to some knowledge, there are Five Grades of Extreme Yang Items that can extend the period of Dao extinction: one is the Shangqing Lotus Leaf, two the Ancient Dao Immortal Apricot, third the Primeval Fusang, fourth the Jiuli Soul Blood, fifth the Breath of the Reverse Saint..."

Ning Fan’s heart pounded, unexpectedly finding a method to save the Ancient Chaotic Grand Emperor in the ancient tomes here!

Shangqing Lotus Leaf, Ancient Dao Immortal Apricot, Primeval Fusang, these three are legendary treasures, the first time Ning Fan heard of them.

The Breath of the Reverse Saint refers to the Fourth Step Immortal Emperor exhaling a breath, allowing a person destined to die to extend life, of course Ning Fan couldn’t find an Immortal Emperor to breathe on Ancient Chaos...

But the Jiuli Soul Blood...

This book records that taking a drop of adult Jiuli Soul Blood can delay the Dao extinction period by a thousand years!

Ning Fan didn’t know that the blood of his own Little Black Kitten was still of such great use!

If he got a drop of Little Black Kitten’s soul blood... it should be not too harmful to her...

But then comes the problem...

This Little Black Kitten seems not to be an adult yet...(To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets; your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
