Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 1109 The action begins

At this moment, Huangfu Jin flipped his right hand and took out another item, a slightly illusory blue compass.

Ning Fa raised an eyebrow, because he was very familiar with this object; it was the Star Compass, only a projection of the compass.

Ning Fa wasn't too surprised when Huangfu Jin took out this thing.

Because when he first met Huangfu Ziyue, they went to Canglong Island to steal treasure together, and Huangfu Ziyue had taken out this item then.

Huangfu Ziyue had said this was the last piece, but now it seems she was clearly lying to him.

"You should have seen this before from Xiaoyue; it's a projection of the Star Compass. If you encounter any danger, this should be able to help you."

Huangfu Jin said in a deep voice.

Ning Fa paused for a moment. In any case, the Zi Yin clan had truly treated him well.

He couldn't help but ask curiously, "How did the Ziyin Clan obtain this Star Compass? Why are there only these projections now?"

Huangfu Jin's face showed a look of nostalgia and regret: "This Star Compass was obtained by our third-generation ancestor from Lord Shenmu. It should be a replica of some kind of powerful and heaven-reaching spiritual treasure."

At that time, our clan obtained two pieces in total, one of which disappeared when an ancestor unexpectedly perished.

The other piece suffered irreparable damage during our battle with the demon army, forcing us to create multiple projections, each for single use only.

Ning Fa suddenly realized that the Star Compass in his hand must have belonged to that ancestor, but he didn't know why it ended up in Cangyuan and was obtained by Dugu Huan.

At this moment, Huangfu Jin's eyes flashed, and he suddenly asked, "Why did you keep using the essence-locking technique when you were cultivating with Xiaoyue?"

Ning Fa was caught off guard by the question, and he frowned as he looked at Huangfu Jin.

In order to enhance his Devouring Essence Innate Divine Power, he had also practiced dual cultivation with Huangfu Ziyue many times over the past ten years.

But he doesn't want to leave offspring casually now, so he has been using the technique of locking his essence. He didn't expect Huangfu Jin to ask him so directly.

Huangfu Jin sighed again: "I hope you will think about it again. If you continue to refuse to leave bloodline descendants in my clan, then if you want to become the clan leader in the future, it will be difficult for the other clan members to believe in you."

Ning Fa frowned and said, "I never said I would become the patriarch of the Ziyin Clan in the future."

Huangfu Jin stopped talking about it and said with a serious expression, "Do you know that my clan only has two of these Star Compass projections left?"

Besides the one I'm wearing, the one you're holding originally belonged to Xiaoyue. She was worried about your safety, so she asked me to give it to you.

There is another matter: if anything were to happen to me during this operation, I hope you would assume the position of patriarch of our Ziyin clan.

Without waiting for Ning Fa's reply, Huangfu Jin got up and left.

Ning Fa frowned. Zhu Yan and Huangfu Jin's words, which carried a sense of entrustment, made him feel uneasy, and worry arose in his heart.

He glanced at Tianbao Immortal Merchant, who was meditating with his eyes closed, and felt a little more at ease.

He always felt that if Tianbao Xianshang were to unleash his true power, he should be no weaker than top-tier powerhouses like Gu Zun and Yuan Zun.

With himself and Huangfu Jin by his side, even if they encountered any danger, they should still be able to escape.

Just then, Tianbao Xianshang suddenly opened his eyes.

Suddenly, a look of doubt flashed across his usually indifferent face, and his eyes gleamed with a blinding light, clearly indicating that he was using some powerful eye technique to survey his surroundings.

After a while, the strange phenomenon on his face disappeared, but there was still a hint of confusion in his eyes.

This made Ning Fa tense: "Fellow Daoist Tianbao, what's wrong?"

But before he could finish speaking, Tianbao Xianshang's figure suddenly blurred and disappeared from the cabin.

Ning Fa was truly alarmed.

"What's going on? Why is Tianbao Immortal Merchant acting so strangely?"

Fortunately, Tianbao Immortal Merchant returned not long after.

He had regained his composure and said, "Don't worry, I just sensed a special aura and went to check it out. It seems it was just my imagination."

Without offering any further explanation, he closed his eyes and resumed his cultivation.

Ning Fa breathed a sigh of relief.

But what he didn't know was that hundreds of miles behind the spirit ship, in a cloud...

There was a barely visible transparent figure wearing a silver mask; it was none other than Yuan Zun, the president of the Nine Immortals Society.

He was supposed to preside over the ceremony to communicate with the upper realm and attract the experts of the sea monsters, but instead he appeared here, seemingly secretly following Ning Fa and the others.

After a while, his soft voice came out: "Don't show yourself so easily again. Tianbao Xianshang's spiritual sense is very sharp. This time he almost discovered you."

“I know without you saying it, but it seems that even though this Holy Envoy has been severely injured, he is still not to be underestimated. Is your plan really reliable?” Another hoarse voice came from inside him.

Yuan Zun smiled and said, "Don't worry, this Six Paths Meteorite Formation was originally prepared for him. Even if he unleashes his late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, he won't be able to escape."

"You truly deserve to be called the most outstanding person in this world. To be able to come up with such a brilliant plan, I must say I admire you." The voice chuckled.

However, Yuan Zun narrowed his eyes slightly: "You've guessed wrong. The one who came up with this plan is someone else. You were asleep before, so you didn't know about it."

"Oh, could it be that ancient venerable one who is as famous as you?" The hoarse voice suddenly became interested.

"It's not him either. This person is coming too. You'll see him soon, so just stop here and wait for him."

Yuan Zun chuckled lightly, but there was no smile in his eyes; instead, a hint of apprehension appeared.

……

About half a month later, Ning Fa and the others finally arrived in the heart of the sea tribe, which was Yilan Island, where the interdimensional passage was located.

When they were still more than a thousand miles away from the island, Ningfa and his group stopped.

There are many defensive barriers surrounding Yilan Island, so we must not alert them and wait for definite news from the rear before taking action.

And so, everyone waited patiently for two days.

Then they heard the aged yet resonant voice of Master Jizhao reach the ears of the others.

"The news is confirmed. The two Nascent Soul cultivators of the Sea Demon race have appeared. There are at most two Nascent Soul cultivators of the Sea Demon race stationed on Ilan Island at the moment. Let's make our move!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Fa and the other six flew out from the empty clouds and rushed towards Yilan Island with great momentum.

Soon, the outer defensive barriers in front were triggered layer by layer.

However, perhaps the sea creatures were very confident in the innermost defensive barrier, so the outermost barriers were only at the fourth level.

Moreover, their focus was on exploration, and they were as fragile as paper in front of Ning Fa and other top human experts, and were broken through in no time.

A mournful howl rang out, and numerous streaks of light flew out from the direction of Yilan Island, led by two Nascent Soul cultivators. One of them had the lower body of a sea-blue snake, while the upper body was that of a voluptuous and alluring woman, whose long, curly hair was actually coiled into long, thin sea snakes.

The other was an old acquaintance of Ningfa, who looked like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy. He was none other than the sea race god-turner, Kailandil.

The two Nascent Soul cultivators looked at the seven human powerhouses who were attacking them with expressions of shock and anger.

"Damn it, how come so many human Nascent Soul experts are coming to kill us!" the alluring sea race female Nascent Soul cultivator gritted her teeth.

Kylandil frowned, then, as if realizing something, immediately said, "This is bad! The humans' previous announcement about communicating with the upper realm was a conspiracy. Their real goal might be to destroy our interdimensional portal!"

The alluring woman reacted immediately, her face first filled with shock and anger, then she sneered, "Humans are really grasping at straws in their desperation. With just these seven people, even if we don't activate the instantaneous teleportation of the Sea Heart Formation, they won't be able to break through!"

"Don't underestimate the enemy. Since the human race has made such a big show of force, they must have something to rely on."

Immediately activate the Sea Heart Array's instantaneous teleportation to allow the others to return.

"If we can annihilate these seven people here, the human race will be severely weakened!" Kylandil said decisively.

The alluring woman nodded, and with a swift movement of her right hand, a peculiar blue round plaque appeared in her palm.

Driven by his magic, the surface of the round plaque immediately shimmered with blue light, transforming into a round mirror that spun rapidly upwards.

It quickly landed on the light barrier formed by the Great Array in the Heart of the Sea, creating a deep blue vortex.

The vortex spun rapidly and grew larger and larger, eventually reaching a size of tens of feet, emanating intense spatial fluctuations.

Both Kylandil and the alluring woman couldn't help but smile, but their smiles quickly froze.

Suddenly, the area within hundreds of miles centered on this place became dark, as if night had fallen.

The next moment, a powerful beam of starlight fell from the sky and landed precisely on the outer light wall of the Sea Heart Array, quickly forming a starlight crystal on its outer surface.

At the same time, the vortex began to vibrate violently, and the spatial fluctuations it emitted became very unstable.

"Not good!" Both Kailandil and the other two changed their expressions drastically and flew into the sky without hesitation. At the same time, they unleashed their magical treasures and divine powers, bombarding the starlight crystal without holding back.

However, the starlight crystal was like a mirage in water; their attacks passed right through it and couldn't actually reach it.

In just over ten breaths, the azure vortex stopped spinning, and the instantaneous teleportation was terminated.

"As expected, the human race was well-prepared. They actually have the ability to disrupt the instantaneous teleportation of the Sea Heart Formation! Quickly, bring the others back!"

Kylandil's face turned ashen, and his eyes revealed undisguised fear.

The alluring woman immediately took out a special seashell and crushed it violently.

Suddenly, a peculiar wave rippled out from it, spreading to the infinite distance.

However, she remained calm and said, "The human race has probably just temporarily sealed the teleportation ability using some unknown means. The defensive power of the Sea Heart Formation is still there, so there's no need to be afraid of them!"

Kylandil took a deep breath to calm himself down, but his eyes were still heavy.

Because the human race was clearly well-prepared this time, he felt that the human race might already have a way to deal with the Sea Heart Formation.

But there's no point in thinking about it now; all we can do is try our best to hold on.

Soon, Ning Fa and the other six had quickly cleared the outer barriers of Yilan Island, and before them lay Yilan Island, which was shrouded by the Sea Heart Formation.

One could see that the group of sea creature cultivators on the island, led by Kailandil and the alluring woman, all had solemn expressions and were ready for battle.

"You lot think you can break the Sea Heart Formation? Don't even dream about it!"

"Since you dared to trespass here, don't even think about going back. The rest of my clan's Nascent Soul cultivators are returning; you have no chance of escape!"

The sea creature woman sneered.

Master Jizhao merely glanced at the sea creatures before turning to Ningfa and the others and saying in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoists, let's proceed according to plan."

The others nodded and flew off in different directions, landing in different areas on the outskirts of Ilan Island.

Then he took out a large number of array flags, array plates and other array-setting tools from his storage ring and began to quickly set up the array.

"Oh no! It seems the humans are trying to use an array to destroy the Sea Heart Array!" The alluring woman, who had just been arrogant, suddenly changed her expression.

Kylandil's heart skipped a beat. Just as he had expected, the humans had indeed come prepared this time.

He took a deep breath and immediately said, "We must destroy them, otherwise if they really destroy the interdimensional passage, we will be sinners of the sea race!"
Don't hesitate any longer! Immediately use the power of the Ancestral Sea to temporarily raise our cultivation level!

As soon as he finished speaking, Kylandil raised his hands, tilted his head back, and uttered a series of mysterious incantations.

The alluring woman hesitated.

Although one can borrow the power of the ancestral sea in the heart of the sea tribes to temporarily elevate oneself to a minor rank, this comes at the cost of sacrificing one's own potential.

But as Kylandil said, this is the only way things can be now.

She immediately raised her hands and uttered the same incantation.

About fifteen minutes later, a blinding blue light suddenly flashed above the heads of the two sea creatures at the Nascent Soul stage. A blue spiritual spring seemed to appear out of the void, pouring down on them from head to toe, and their aura surged accordingly.

When the blue light dissipated and they reappeared, their auras were several times stronger than before, and both sea race cultivators had reached the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

"Go!" Kailandil shouted and flew towards Ningfa. The alluring woman immediately followed, along with more than ten fourth-tier sea creatures and more than thirty third-tier sea creatures from Yilan Island.

Clearly, in their view, eliminating just one person would be enough to destroy the great formation that the human race planned to set up, and Ning Fa, the weakest of them all, was naturally the breakthrough point.

At this moment, Ning Fa was setting up one of the array's key points at lightning speed.

He remained expressionless as he watched the swarming sea creature cultivators approach.

Because everyone had anticipated this situation during the previous discussions and guessed that the other party might come for him, they were prepared for it.

He gestured to the Heavenly Treasure Immortal Merchant beside him not to make a move, and then calmly took out two items.

They were black chains with congealed bloodstains on them.

There was also a pure gold talisman with a palace-like design drawn on it.

Both objects exuded astonishing spiritual pressure. Ning Fa's entire body of magical power surged towards them, and the two objects immediately shone brightly with spiritual light.

The black chain transformed into a serpent, whistling through the air and landing a moment later on the head of the alluring woman.

The alluring woman's expression changed slightly, and a magical artifact shaped like a coral curved blade shot out from her hand, attempting to sever the chains.

But with a loud bang, the magical artifact was sent flying back. Then, the chains instantly lengthened wildly, transforming into a black cage that surrounded the alluring woman.

The cage resounded with loud bangs, emanating astonishing fluctuations of spiritual energy. Clearly, the woman was attacking desperately, but she couldn't break through the chains' defense for the time being.
