Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 1096 Primordial Spirit Forbidden Scroll, Meeting Deployment
"Tian Sheng was being reckless in this matter. After all, the rumors had been rampant, and Tian Sheng was just curious, so he wanted to test the strength of this Fellow Daoist Ning."

However, he has always been impulsive and didn't handle things properly. Consider this top-grade spirit stone as an apology to Fellow Daoist Ning.

As he spoke, Yue Long flicked his finger, and a beam of light flew to Ning Fa's front, revealing a thumb-sized, deep blue spirit stone that emitted an extremely rich spiritual energy. It was clearly a top-grade water spirit stone.

Ning Fa scanned it with his divine sense and, confirming that nothing had been done, put it away without any hesitation.

Although he could produce a lot of top-grade spirit stones at any time, it would still consume high-level source points.

He suddenly realized that the Nine Immortals Society didn't really believe the rumor, so they deliberately let Tian Sheng test his strength.

After all, the Nine Immortals Society, with its profound foundation, might not be afraid of him having any means that could threaten a Nascent Soul cultivator.

However, for some reason, looking at Yue Long's calm expression, Ning Fa had a vague feeling that Tian Sheng might have other purposes in testing his strength this time.

At this moment, Xuan Yi Divine Lord also looked at Ning Fa. His originally icy expression softened a bit, and a hint of interest appeared in his eyes.

He looked Ning Fa up and down, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said, "Ning Fa, your strength is indeed impressive. According to Fellow Daoist Jizhao, you are indeed qualified to be our peer."

"Thank you for your help, Fellow Daoist Xuan Yi." Ning Fa also bowed and expressed his gratitude.

Xuan Yi nodded slightly, then suddenly said, "I didn't expect that besides lightning magic, your swordsmanship is also so outstanding. You have already reached the third step, which is very rare. I will give you a chance to go to our sect's Sword-Holding Cliff to comprehend it."

Without waiting for Ning Fa's reply, Xuan Yi went straight to the row of seats in front of him and sat down.

That day, Old Monster Sheng glared fiercely at Ning Fa, but finally dared not cause any more trouble and sat on the other side with Yue Long.

The other Nascent Soul cultivators in the hall looked at Ning Fa with a completely different expression. Their original suspicion disappeared, and their eyes were filled with solemnity and apprehension.

Without a doubt, Ning Fa already possesses such strength. Once he truly advances to the Nascent Soul stage, his strength will undoubtedly surge, leaving them far behind.

Soon another man, dressed in black armor and exuding a menacing aura, walked in.

Upon seeing him, Ning Fa raised an eyebrow; this person was none other than Huangfu Jin, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Huangfu Jin merely glanced at Ning Fa with a calm expression before finding a seat and sitting down. Immediately, a voice transmission reached Ning Fa's ears.

"Let's talk after this meeting."

Ning Fa withdrew his gaze, which suited him perfectly.

Then an old man with a deep blue complexion, looking like a zombie, walked in.

Ning Fa also recognized this person; it was none other than the old ghost Xinghai from the Rakshasa Immortal Cultivation World.

The man first scanned the hall, then glanced at Ning Fa with a strange expression, grinned, and walked towards a familiar Nascent Soul cultivator.

Then three more Nascent Soul cultivators arrived.

Although Ning Fa did not recognize the three people, he guessed that they should be Nascent Soul cultivators from the Great Qin Dynasty.

Because the imposing middle-aged cultivator at the head of the group bore a resemblance to Lu Caifu, he was clearly her grandfather, Lu Chenyuan, one of the five Nascent Soul cultivators of the Qian Yuan Business Alliance.

This person ranks third in the Qian Yuan Merchant Alliance, and is already at the peak of the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

The other two were a young cultivator with a swirling demonic aura, a handsome yet effeminate appearance, and a faint bloodshot look in his eyes.

There was also an elderly Taoist robe with an air of otherworldly grace, carrying a peach wood sword. Judging from the aura Ning Fa sensed, he was even more imposing than most of the Nascent Soul cultivators in the hall.

These three were clearly quite famous, and the other Nascent Soul cultivators in the hall greeted them one after another.

Ning Fa also confirmed the identities of the other two people. The young man with demonic energy was none other than Li Wujiu, the master of the Great Qin Wushi Demon Palace.

The venerable old man with an air of otherworldly wisdom was none other than Dao Hong Zhenren, the sect leader of the Great Qin Taichu Sect.

Lu Chenyuan looked at Ning Fa and gave him a friendly smile, to which Ning Fa responded with a smile as well.

The meeting had not yet started, and it seemed that they were still waiting for Master Jizhao, who had not yet arrived.

At this moment, Ning Fa also heard a voice transmission in his ear. After listening, Ning Fa cupped his hands to thank Wen Yuchen, who was not far away. It was Wen Yuchen who had just introduced him to the other Nascent Soul cultivators in the hall.

These Nascent Soul cultivators came not only from the Nine Dragons Sea, the Great Qin, and the Heavenly Martial Realm, but also from six other cultivation worlds.

There are nearly thirty known cultivation worlds in the human realm, of which about nine have Nascent Soul cultivators.

Ning Fa also showed a look of admiration.

There were fifteen Nascent Soul cultivators in the hall at that moment, which was an astonishing number.

Moreover, Ningfa believed that the number of human Nascent Soul cultivators who had not yet arrived was certainly no less than this number.

In other words, the number of Nascent Soul cultivators in this world should be over thirty, which is quite a large number.

After all, at this moment, the combined number of Nascent Soul cultivators from the sea race and the demon race was only about twenty, which made Ning Fa sigh inwardly, realizing that the human realm's foundation was indeed quite strong.

It is truly remarkable that so many Nascent Soul cultivators could still be born after the primordial energy of heaven and earth has been sealed for so many years.

It seems that in its former glory, the human realm was probably one of the more powerful realms among the lower realms, where the spirit realm was located.

Currently, if the combined strength of the human race in this world were to be increased, it would not be inferior to that of the sea monsters, and in fact, it might even have an advantage in terms of higher-level power.

The problem is that as long as the sea creatures' interdimensional passage remains open, they can continuously receive reinforcements.

Judging from the information we have received, the Haiyuan Realm seems to be extremely powerful. If this continues, the situation will definitely be extremely unfavorable for the human race in that realm.

Moreover, the human race in this world is scattered across various cultivation realms, making it extremely difficult for them to travel between each other. Only high-level cultivators are qualified to cross over to the Nine Dragons Sea, so it is difficult to unite their forces into one.

Furthermore, it's hard to guarantee that other Nascent Soul cultivators in the cultivation world wouldn't be interested in contributing to the fight against the sea race.

After all, in their view, the mountains and roads were too high and the threat from the sea creatures might not reach their doorstep.

Therefore, this should be the main reason why the Tian Shu Alliance convened this meeting: to form a united front.

Not long after, an old man in black robes walked silently into the hall and came to the high platform in front of everyone. He was none other than Master Jizhao of the Taichu Sect.

The Nascent Soul cultivators in the hall immediately composed themselves, as the meeting was about to officially begin.

Master Jizhao looked around, a smile appearing on his old face, and slowly said, "Apart from other fellow Daoists who are not yet able to attend, all the fellow Daoists who can come should be here."

To be honest, this number is more than I expected.

But before the formal meeting begins, let us first sign our true names on the main scroll of this Primordial Spirit-Forbidden Scroll.

As Master Jizhao spoke, he flicked his right finger, and a golden scroll appeared in a burst of light.

It slowly unfolded, its surface covered with mysterious blood-red runes that were even slowly writhing. An astonishing aura of malevolence emanated from it, startling all the cultivators in the hall.

"What? It's actually the main scroll of the Primordial Spirit-Forbidden Scroll? Shouldn't your Primordial Sect have used it all up long ago?"

Suddenly, a Nascent Soul cultivator, who was as fat as a ball and like a mountain of flesh, sat up straight, his fat jiggling wildly, and exclaimed in surprise.

Many other Nascent Soul cultivators also frowned deeply.

Master Jizhao said without changing his expression, "The strategy we are discussing to deal with the enemy is of great importance. If it is leaked, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Therefore, as a precaution, and also out of responsibility for the human race of this world, I ask for your understanding, fellow Daoists.

Ultimately, this is just a high-level spirit contract; as long as one doesn't violate its terms, it won't have any negative impact.

Upon hearing this, although the Nascent Soul cultivators' expressions softened, their brows still furrowed slightly.

Because the main scroll of the Primordial Spirit Forbidden Scroll of the Primordial Sect can be said to be one of the most famous high-level spirit contracts in this world, with a grade as high as the fifth-grade superior.

In other words, if the above constraints are violated, even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator could be killed by this powerful spiritual contract.

That's why all the Nascent Soul cultivators feared it like a tiger.

At this moment, a sharp voice came: "Fellow Daoist Jizhao, you are wrong about this."

We, your comrades, have come here to help Kowloon Sea. How can you treat us with such petty intentions?
Although this is just a spirit contract, it is far too domineering. Liao has never had the habit of signing his name on such spirit contracts.

The speaker was a cultivator shrouded in green mist, his face obscured, but his spiritual pressure was comparable to that of Lu Chenyuan of the Qian Yuan Merchant Alliance, clearly indicating that he was at the peak of the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, far beyond the reach of ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.

The green mist he emitted was clearly highly poisonous, so there was no one around him, and everyone else kept their distance.

Upon hearing this, many Nascent Soul cultivators nodded in agreement, and these people were mostly from the cultivation world outside of Nine Dragons Sea, Great Qin, and Tianwu.

Before Master Jizhao could speak, Wen Yuchen had already stood up, a cold smile on his face:

"Fellow Daoist Liao, it seems you don't know him very well."

The sea race has gone to such lengths to open this interdimensional passage not just to annex our Nine Dragons Sea, but to rule the entire human realm! If everyone here thinks they're just here to help us, then why should we, the humans of the Nine Dragons Sea, bother to fight against the sea race's army? We could just run away, or even surrender to the sea race if necessary.

"It won't be long before the flames of war reach your Kunluo cultivation world. Then I'll see how Fellow Daoist Liao handles it!"

The poisonous mist surrounding the cultivator surnamed Liao flickered, and he remained silent for a moment, seemingly rendered speechless by the rebuttal.

At this moment, a golden light flashed in Yue Long's eyes, and he said, "The troubles of the sea race are not solely the responsibility of the Nine Dragons Sea. We, the human race of this world, must work together to have any chance of victory."

So those who think like Fellow Daoist Liao should save their breath. If you don't want to sign the main scroll of the Primordial Spirit Forbidden Scroll, you're welcome to leave now.

Lu Chenyuan of the Qian Yuan Business Alliance also smiled calmly and said:

"Our Great Qin cultivation world shares this opinion."

Furthermore, I would like to add that any human cultivators who did not contribute to this battle should not expect to receive any assistance from the three major cultivation worlds in the future.

We will refuse all forms of trade, as well as any updates regarding the spatial passage.

Upon hearing this, the Nascent Soul cultivators from other cultivation worlds were immediately startled.

Although Lu Chenyuan's words were calm, the threat was considerable.

Because these three cultivation worlds almost control the most top-tier spiritual resources in this world, not to mention the information about spatial passages, which are also controlled by these three cultivation worlds.

Seeing that the three major cultivation worlds had formed a united front, none of these Nascent Soul cultivators dared to voice any further objections.

At this moment, Ning Fa was examining the scroll floating in the air. He had long heard of this famous Primordial Spirit Forbidden Scroll.

The message consisted of only one short line, primarily binding those who left their true names on the premise that they must not betray humanity in any way during battles against other races, or face annihilation.

Although the words were few and even somewhat vague, the more restrictive the situation, the stronger the ability became, enough to prevent those who signed their real names from having any other thoughts.

At this moment, Master Jizhao had already raised his hand, and spiritual energy condensed as he filled in his true name on the Primordial Spirit-Forbidden Scroll.

Following that, Wen Yuchen, Fairy Linghua, Xuan Yi, and the Nascent Soul cultivators from Da Qin and Tian Wu also signed their real names.

Ningfa followed closely behind.

The other Nascent Soul cultivators hesitated for a moment, but eventually signed their real names as well.

Master Jizhao put the scroll away and smiled, saying, "Thank you all for your understanding."

Those fellow cultivators who arrived late at the Nascent Soul stage will also be asked to sign their real names on this scroll later. Now we can discuss the specific arrangements.

First, there's the interdimensional passage between the sea creatures, which is a major concern for us.

If we can destroy this passage, then with the strength of our human race, it is not impossible to defeat the two sea monster races.

The problem is that destroying this passage is extremely difficult.

Before this, Fellow Daoist Xuan Yi had already made a move to test the waters. He took advantage of the moment when the armies of the two sea demon races were mobilized and sneaked near the interdimensional passage.

However, Fellow Daoist Xuan Yi discovered that the interdimensional passage had extremely powerful restrictions, and it has been confirmed that it was reinforced by the power of the Ancestral Sea.

Based on Fellow Daoist Xuan Yi's perception, it would take at least five people of similar strength to work together to defeat him.

Moreover, the problem is that the restriction also has a very powerful spatial teleportation attribute.

While Fellow Daoist Xuan Yi was probing the attack, five Nascent Soul cultivators from the Sea Clan were teleported over in a short period of time, forcing Fellow Daoist Xuan Yi to retreat.

Judging from this, the sea race could even teleport all the Nascent Soul cultivators here in a short time.

Therefore, even if all of our human race's Nascent Soul cultivators were to gather together, it would be extremely difficult to destroy that interdimensional passage, and in fact, it might result in significant damage.

Because that is the lair of the sea race, based on our past experience, the sea race can use the power of the ancestral sea in times of crisis, which can greatly enhance the combat power of the Nascent Soul cultivators in their lair.

In fact, there have been several times in history when our Kowloon Sea Clan had attacked the Sea Clan's lair, and it was because of this that we were defeated and forced to retreat each time.

With the demon race also keeping them occupied, the sea race was able to recover its strength.

Upon hearing this, Ning Fa's expression turned solemn.

He had asked Master Jizhao about this issue before, but the other party refused to say more at that time, obviously because the main volume of the Primordial Spirit Forbidden Scroll had not yet been signed.

Now he realized that Xuan Yi had already tested him, which meant the situation was very bad.

The other Nascent Soul cultivators in the hall also looked rather grim.

At this moment, an elderly man dressed in a straw raincoat and hat, resembling an old farmer, spoke in a hoarse voice:
"So, does that mean destroying that interdimensional passage is basically impossible? If things continue like this, won't we all just be slowly waiting to die?"

Master Jizhao slowly said, "So it is Fellow Daoist You."

To win this battle, we must destroy that interdimensional passage at any cost, no matter how difficult, but it is not impossible.

We have been trying to find a solution. Whether it is the Star Luo Palace of our Tian Shu Alliance, the Tian Hong Palace of the Great Qin Dynasty, or the Locking Star Platform of Tian Wu, we have been doing our best to divine and deduce the weakness of that restriction.

If we can break the instantaneous teleportation ability of that restriction, we will have a way to destroy that restriction.

However, due to the obscuring of heavenly secrets by the power of the Ancestral Sea, there has not been much progress so far.

However, what is certain is that when the sea race sends reinforcements through the interdimensional passage again, it will be when the power of the ancestral sea and the restriction are at their weakest. At that time, we will have a good chance of deducing the weakness of the restriction.

"At that time, as long as we find a way to lure away a large number of sea creatures at the Nascent Soul stage, we have a certain chance of destroying it."

Upon hearing this, the hall fell silent.

At this moment, a gaunt old monk in a gray robe turned the prayer beads in his hand, his white eyebrows slightly furrowed, and said:

“Fellow Daoist Jizhao, doesn’t this mean that we can’t act immediately and must wait for the second wave of reinforcements from the sea race?”

Even the old master Jizhao couldn't help but smile bitterly: "So it's Zen Master Yuanyi. It's been five hundred years since we last met."

That's right, just as you said, there's no better way.

Fortunately, based on our current divination results, the interdimensional passage has a certain limit; it cannot transport late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, and even ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators cannot be transported too many times.

After the second teleportation by the sea race, their numbers will at most be equal to the number of our human race's Nascent Soul cultivators, so we can still handle it.

As long as we can destroy that inter-border passage, we won't be afraid of a protracted war with them, even if they send reinforcements.

Therefore, the attitude of the other major race in our human realm—the demon race—is extremely important.

After all, besides the Nine Dragons Sea Demon Court, there are also the Myriad Demon Sea and the Cloud Break Demon Clan, two other major branches of the demon race, which together have a considerable number of Nascent Soul demon cultivators.

If we can win them over, it will undoubtedly tip the scales of victory in our favor.

Therefore, this is also a major focus of our meeting.

As he spoke, Master Jizhao looked at Yue Long and Lu Chenyuan.

Yue Long said calmly, "We have already sent people to contact the Wan Yao Sea Demon Clan, and the Nine Dragons Sea Demon Court has done the same."

The Demon Sea Clan has not yet expressed its opinion and remains neutral, clearly wanting to observe the situation of the conflict between our two clans before making a decision.

Lu Chenyuan smiled and said, "The same applies to the Yun Duan Demon Clan."

Fortunately, their attitude softened after our Qian Yuan Merchant Alliance provided them with some top-tier spiritual items that they desperately needed.

If we can successfully destroy that interdimensional passage later, we'll have a good chance of persuading them.

As soon as the two finished speaking, many Nascent Soul cultivators in the hall relaxed.

Master Jizhao nodded: "Very good. Then our next topic is how many cultivators from your respective cultivation worlds should be sent to provide support, and their specific arrival time..."

The following meeting focused on very specific strategic deployments, as well as the battle merit exchange system, requiring other cultivation communities to contribute a certain amount of resources.

When the interests of the major cultivation worlds were involved, the Nascent Soul cultivators all spoke up, some even with very strong attitudes, making the hall very lively.

The meeting lasted for three days and three nights before finally adjourning.

Ning Fa returned to his residence as usual.

As darkness fell, he quietly left again, heading towards the southern edge of Zhenhai City.

He wanted to meet with Huangfu Jin.
