Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 1042 The Final Challenge

Ning Daozhen paused for a moment: "Okay, but I hope you can promise that if we cooperate with you to obtain that treasure, you must lift our restrictions at that time, otherwise I would rather kill myself now."

Ning Fa thought about it and decided that if he could really get that treasure, it wouldn't hurt to release the two of them, so he nodded in agreement.

Then Ningfa cast a spell, placing a restriction on the souls of the two people.

Dan Hongzi wore a wry smile, but also breathed a sigh of relief.

Ning Daozhen suddenly said, "Ying Zhen, what do you plan to do? Killing him will cause a lot of trouble."

“It’s come to this point, I definitely can’t let him live,” Ning Fa said with a chilling murderous intent.

Ning Daozhen thought for a moment and said, "I know a secret technique that might be able to shield the soul imprint of Ying Zhen's grandfather. You can leave this person's nascent soul to me."

Ning Fa was moved and immediately instructed Ning Daozhen to begin casting the spell.

Not long after, in a blood-red altar built by Ning Daozhen, Ying Zhen's nascent soul was devoured by the raging blood flames emanating from the altar.

Ning Daozhen carefully sensed it, then nodded to Ning Fa and said, "It seems that the technique has worked. I did not sense that the soul imprint being applied to me."

Ning Fa also breathed a sigh of relief; it was better that it could be resolved this way.

Then Ning Fa walked to the ancient well with a smile on his face. This time, no other accidents occurred. Ning Fa successfully took out all the Soul-Deriving Divine Spring from the ancient well and filled more than a dozen clean bottles.

It seems that with so many Soul-Deriving Divine Springs, his Moon God Heart should be able to cultivate to the Moon Soul Crystal Core stage.

Ning Fa thought for a moment and tossed two of the clean bottles to Ning Daozhen, since he still needed this man to heal his soul injury and obtain that treasure.

As for the cultivation method of the primordial soul and the Dharma body, he had already learned about it when he searched the soul just now.

At that moment, a flash of light appeared in the air, and a door of light slowly emerged.

Ning Fa and the others stayed in place for several hours to recover before stepping inside.

In a flash, Ning Fa found himself in another place, and immediately began to look around warily.

After all, it seemed that the trials of Thousand Whirlpool Spirit Mountain had all ended, and it appeared that he would soon be facing the Abyss Ancestor, which made him nervous.

Ning Fahuan glanced at him, a strange look appearing in his eyes.

He was hovering low above a lake, and a hundred feet ahead of him stood a magnificent and extremely luxurious white palace.

Ningfa immediately realized that this must be the mountaintop lake and palace he had seen on the third floor.

Two whooshing sounds came from beside him, and Ning Daozhen and Dan Hongzi appeared. The three of them then flew forward cautiously and soon arrived at the entrance of the palace.

This is a white jade plaza, about a mile long and wide, with a pair of palace gates several meters high in front of it, now fully open.

However, the entrance to the palace was shrouded in a distorted, seven-colored glow that divine sense could not penetrate, making it seem impossible to enter.

"It seems that, like the third level, we can only enter this palace after the time limit has expired," Dan Hongzi said, stroking his beard.

The three of them then closed their eyes and began to meditate in a corner of the square.

Just then, rain and mist suddenly fell from the sky, and this rain and mist contained unimaginable pure spiritual energy.

Upon touching it, Ning Fa felt his magical power and spiritual power rapidly recovering, and even the injuries sustained by Ning Daozhen and the other person were quickly improving.

About a day later, a flash of spiritual light appeared in the sky, and several more figures emerged from it.

It was three sea creature cultivators: Frigga, Hathaway, and Lor, along with Lu Caifu. Beside her was a masked man in black, also a cultivator from the Qian Yuan Merchant Alliance, who was clearly Lu Caifu's bodyguard.

After appearing in the air, the two groups glared at each other, their tension palpable.

But then a protective glow appeared, forcing both sides to cease their attacks. Soon after, smiles appeared on their faces, clearly indicating that they had all gained something from the previous trials.

Soon they arrived at the entrance of the palace. Upon seeing Ning Fa and the others, the three sea creature cultivators' expressions changed.

After all, they hadn't seen Ning Fa on the third floor before, and were even more pleased to think that Ning Fa might have perished somewhere.

However, there are clearly restrictions in place, so they can't take action and can only glare angrily at Ning Fa.

"I knew that with Fellow Daoist Ning's abilities, he wouldn't perish so easily, and he arrived so early, so he must have gained a lot."

Lu Caifu floated over, looked Ning Fa up and down, and smiled faintly.

Ning Fa smiled and exchanged a few pleasantries with him, then glanced at the masked man.

This person's eyes were icy cold, as if they had no emotions.

Although they hadn't fought, Ning Fa could already sense that this person was extremely strong.

More people arrived later, but their numbers were significantly reduced.

The Yun Duan Yao Clan is now down to just Feng Zhao, Jin Yao, and Yuan Gang, while the Rakshasa Immortal Cultivation World is down to just two. The Great Qin cultivators, on the other hand, have a larger number of members.

Ye Zangfeng of Lingxiao Sword Pavilion, Lin Wuji of Wushi Demon Palace, Cang He of Taiqing Sect, Mei Chongli of Yuancha Sect, Shen Cizhou of Huiyue Palace, Lu Caifu, and the masked guard, along with a cultivator from Zichen Palace, totaling eight people. In addition, the two remaining Holy Witches of Tianli, Su Rihe and Mei Danlun, as well as Tianli Moon Lord Ling Yuqing, also appeared here.

This surprised Ning Fa somewhat. Ling Yuqing was one thing, but Su Rihe and Medanlun were not considered outstanding among this group of powerful individuals.

However, it is clear that Ling Yuqing knows more about the secrets of this place than others, so it cannot be judged by common sense.

These people were all injured and in very poor condition, but soon the special rain and mist reappeared, allowing these cultivators to recover quickly.

Ning Fa flew towards a person, who was a handsome, blue-robed cultivator with an unusual appearance—it was none other than Xu Yuan Jushi.

When Master Xuyuan saw Ning Fa, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Fellow Daoist Ning, it's so good that you're here. I was worried that something might have happened to you."

Ning Fa also had a smile on his face. Judging from the difficulty of this third level of the spiritual realm, it was truly not easy for Layman Xuyuan to pass through.

He didn't ask much about Xu Yuan Jushi's gains, and Xu Yuan Jushi was the only Cang Yuan cultivator to reach the third level.

However, Master Xuyuan told him not to worry, as he was very confident that among the Cangyuan cultivators who entered the Mingyuan Heavenly Pool, apart from True Monarch Yuchan who was seriously injured, no one had perished.

After talking with Layman Xuyuan for a while, Ningfa looked around at the cultivators.

Feng Zhao, Jin Yao, and Yuan Gang all had smiles on their faces, clearly indicating that they had likely obtained the Myriad Spirit Elixir during the trial.

This made Ning Fa's heart itch with desire. He coveted this item, as well as the Taiyi Divine Water that might exist in the hands of the sea race cultivators.

Feng Zhao and the other two seemed to have noticed Ning Fa's gaze and glared at him fiercely as well. Clearly, if it weren't for the restrictions in this place, they would have already made a move.

Ning Fa sneered inwardly; he would settle this score sooner or later.

The crowd noticed that the cultivators from the Tianwu Immortal Cultivation World had not yet appeared, which surprised many people. They were clearly very surprised, but most of them were gloating.

Several hours later, the seven-colored light at the entrance of the palace suddenly disappeared. The many cultivators gathered at the entrance immediately looked up, their expressions a mixture of excitement and tension.

After all, they all understood that the Ancestral Master they were about to meet was an absolutely terrifying figure beyond imagination.

For a moment, no one dared to step forward. Then, Ling Yuqing's eyes flashed, and she took light steps into the hall. Su Ri and Mei Danlun followed closely behind, and soon the three of them disappeared into the hall.

The others exchanged glances and cautiously followed.

The space inside this hall is much larger than it appears from the outside. Even with the powerful divine senses of many Nascent Soul experts, they cannot detect the end of the hall at all; there are only rows of majestic and solemn jade pillars carved with dragons.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Ling Yuqing, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped.

A hundred feet ahead, a trapezoidal white jade platform appeared, and above it, a light blue broken blade, only a foot long, floated silently.

The broken blade did not gleam, and its specific grade could not be discerned, but an unimaginable and terrifying pressure emanated from it, directly assaulting the souls of the Nascent Soul experts.

It made them feel like a mountain was pressing down on their heads, and even made them feel like they couldn't breathe.

Everyone's expression changed upon seeing this; it was undoubtedly an unimaginably precious treasure.

Upon seeing the blade, Ning Fa's pupils suddenly contracted. At this moment, the Heavenly Book of Crossing Origin was already violently vibrating in his sea of ​​consciousness, and the reaction was even stronger than when he saw the mysterious drop of water before.

What kind of treasure is this that could elicit such a strong reaction from the Heavenly Book of Crossing Origins?
"Could this be... a Heaven-Reaching Treasure?" A Rakshasa cultivator shrouded in black mist asked in a hoarse voice.

The others didn't respond immediately, but their eyes were all gleaming.

Given their strength and status, they all possess magical treasures, and perhaps more than one.

Therefore, it is easy to tell that this treasure is definitely not comparable to a spiritual treasure, so it can only be a heaven-reaching spiritual treasure.

A strange light flashed in Lu Caifu's beautiful eyes as she stared intently at the broken blade and said softly, "I'm afraid this is not an ordinary Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure."

The others were taken aback upon hearing this, after all, Lu Caifu's identity was extraordinary.

The Qian Yuan Merchant Alliance must possess a Heavenly Treasure, and there are even rumors that there are several. Lu Caifu should have seen such treasures, so her words should not be unfounded.

Many people's eyes revealed greed, and they couldn't help but wonder if the reward for the final level of the Thousand Whirlpool Spirit Mountain was this extraordinary Heavenly Treasure.

Thinking of this, their hearts immediately burned with excitement.

Just then, the azure broken blade trembled slightly, followed by a change in spiritual light, and the figure of a man in blue robes appeared.

His long hair cascaded down his shoulders, and his face was extremely handsome. He slowly opened his eyes, and his pair of azure eyes swept over everyone in the hall. Then, his brows furrowed, as if he was puzzled.

Immediately, a chilling voice echoed in everyone's minds: "Who are you? Why are you here?"

Everyone's expression changed; they all sensed something was wrong.

What's happening here?
Is this blue-robed youth the spirit of the broken blade, or is he the Abyss Ancestor?
But why did he seem completely unaware that they were there?

At this moment, Lin Wuji's eyes flashed, and he bowed and said, "Senior, we are trial participants who came to the Mingyuan Heavenly Pool for the trial. Only after passing the trial can we meet you, senior."

Upon hearing this, the blue-robed youth frowned even more deeply, and said with anger, "The Abyss Heavenly Pool was closed long ago. I have no idea why it has reopened!"
