Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 1112 A glimmer of hope

Outside that valley, at the bottom of the ocean where the Five Spirits Sea and the Thunder Sea meet.

A flash of inspiration followed, then calm returned.

Su Wanwan looked at the broken, black, nail-like magic weapon in her hand, feeling like crying. Clearly, she had failed again in her attempt to break the valley's restriction.

"Hmph, I refuse to believe it!" She snorted, picked up a recovery pill, put it in her mouth, and began to regulate her breathing to prepare for the next attempt.

But not long after, her expression suddenly changed, and she immediately took out the mysterious little mirror from her bosom.

The surface of the small mirror was shimmering with spiritual light, as if it was about to be activated, which greatly surprised Su Wanwan.

"What's going on? Is Xiao Jing going to give out information again? But it's only been a little over ten days since Xiao Jing last gave out information, and there's still a long time before a month is up."

Su Wanwan's eyes widened in shock.

She has possessed this mysterious little mirror for over two hundred years, and it has always provided information to her monthly without exception.

That's why Su Wanwan was so surprised to see Xiao Jing about to be activated again, and it seems that this time Xiao Jing's unusual behavior is even more intense than before.

"Little Mirror, could it be that you finally take pity on your master and are going to give me good news, allowing me to enter this valley?" Thinking of this, Su Wanwan's eyes lit up with anticipation.

Sure enough, writing began to appear on the surface of the small mirror, and this time, there was only one message.

"You are about to encounter the most important opportunity of your life. Head to Green Crystal Island in the Sea Clan region immediately and activate your Sky-Breaking Shuttle. You must arrive within three hours."

Upon seeing the message on the small mirror, Su Wanwan was first taken aback, then her pretty face was filled with excitement.

"The most important opportunity in my life? Could there be some treasure on that Green Crystal Island that allows me to enter this valley?"
Xiaojing, you're so amazing, I love you to death!

Su Wanwan picked up Xiao Jing, kissed her hard, and without hesitation, touched the storage ring.

A flash of silver light appeared in front of her, revealing a silver shuttle about two zhang long.

After Su Wanwan flew into it, the silver shuttle tore through the void on the seabed and disappeared.

Meanwhile, in that mysterious space within the forbidden area of ​​the Star Luo Palace.

Imprisoned by the vines, the Fairy of the Distant Stars looked utterly dejected. She plopped down on the ground without a care for her image and let out a long sigh.

"Oh no, it's all over. Ning Fa is definitely doomed this time."

Waaaaah, this fairy actually quite liked him, and now that he's dead, how am I supposed to recover from my injuries? My life is so miserable…”

Just then, as if sensing something, Fairy Far Star stood up abruptly, her eyes shining brightly as she stared ahead.

There, the water shimmered and transformed into a slightly illusory round mirror, exactly like the mysterious bronze mirror.

Upon seeing the mirror appear, Fairy Far Star's face was filled with surprise.

"Mi Lingjing! How dare you come here?"

The words "The situation is urgent. That person is in imminent danger. My power is not enough to save him directly. You must take action" appeared quickly on the surface of the small mirror.

"You actually know Ning Fa too?" Fairy Yuanxing was surprised. She immediately guessed that the "person" that Mi Lingjing was talking about was Ning Fa.

Then a look of realization appeared on her small face: "This fairy has forgotten that your essence has also been severely depleted."

No wonder when I was divining for Ning Fa before, I always felt that besides his lightning body shielding him, there was another mysterious connection that I was somewhat familiar with. It turns out it was you.

"It seems you noticed him a while ago, and you must have realized that Ningfa has a way to restore your original state, right?"

But then her little face was filled with distress.

"This fairy knows that his situation is not good and wants to save him."

"But as you can see, I'm trapped here by those old guys from the Star Luo Palace. My power is sealed, and they've even impersonated me to lure Ning Fa into a trap. I can't save him even if I wanted to."

The words reappeared on the surface of the small mirror: "I can allow you to use the power of the Heavenly Star Pearl for a short period of time, which should last for an hour. Have him go to Green Crystal Island immediately."

Immediately, the small mirror transformed back into a wisp of spiritual light, ignoring the cage, and flew to the blue orb floating on the high platform dozens of feet away, disappearing directly into it.

Suddenly, a blue light flashed across the surface of the bead, and countless star-blue runes flickered wildly.

The Fairy of Distant Stars immediately felt the sealed power within her body rapidly returning. Her pretty face was full of joy, and with a casual wave of her hand, a blade of starlight condensed directly severed the cage in front of her.

With a flash of starlight, she flew to the bead and pointed her slender index finger at it.

The bead suddenly shot out a dazzling starlight into the sky, like a star trail.

Fairy Yuanxing blinked and snorted, "Miling Realm, of the few of us who escaped to this realm back then, you were the most cunning."

What do you mean 'your power can't directly save Ning Fa'? I'm afraid you're just afraid of the power within Ning Fa.

So even though he had known about Ningfa for a long time, he never dared to confront him directly.

With your abilities, you should have been able to foresee this crisis long ago, yet you didn't take any action to warn him. It seems you just wanted to test the power within him.

Now that they see Ningfa is in critical condition, they're asking me to take action again, hoping I'll bear the risks.

"Hmph, this fairy isn't as hesitant as you."

With that, Fairy of Distant Stars disappeared into the star path.

……

On the other side, Hei Yu also knew the situation was urgent, and without saying a word, he immediately carried Ning Fa on his back and ran away.

At the same time, the golden triangle pattern on his forehead spun wildly, revealing a pattern resembling a spirit ship.

Immediately afterward, the black feathers flashed with spiritual light and transformed into a small spirit boat, carrying Ning Fa as it sped westward at great speed.

At the same time, the six-dimensional meteorite array also fully erupted.

The area of ​​several hundred miles covered by this formation has turned completely black, and an unimaginable terrifying spiritual pressure is erupting wildly, stirring up a black spiritual tide that seems to destroy the world and is frantically devouring everything around it.

Although Black Feather's speed was comparable to that of a top-tier spirit bird, it was only slightly faster than the speed of the black spirit tide, leaving it no choice but to flee for its life.

Just then, a hundred miles to the north, Yan Jingchen's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and he murmured, "How could he still be alive after all this?"

He instantly transformed into a streak of black and white lightning and vanished.

Not far away, Yuan Zun also spotted Ning Fa, who had escaped.

His eyes were also full of surprise, because he knew that even for himself, escaping from the eruption of the Six Paths Meteorite Array would be extremely difficult.

At this moment, he hesitated, wondering whether he should chase after them as well.

He sensed that Yan Jingchen's obsession with Ning Fa wasn't simply about killing him, but likely because Ning Fa possessed a treasure he needed.

But at that moment, Yuan Zun's expression suddenly changed.

At this moment, within the black halo that covered an area of ​​hundreds of miles, two beams of light shot out and flew in different directions.

Within one of the rays of light was the ancestral beast Huan Yu.

At this moment, its only remaining eyes were closed, and its once golden body seemed to have turned into a gray-white stone, its breath barely perceptible.

The other ray of light resembled a long golden box, its surface covered with mysterious patterns, and it had a pair of golden wings on the left and right sides. With a flap of its wings, it sped eastward at an extremely fast speed.

Yuan Zun's eyes lit up, and he ignored Ning Fa, immediately chasing after the golden box.

……

the other side.

A spinning black and white ball of lightning suddenly appeared in front of Hei Yu. Caught off guard, Hei Yu collided with it and was blasted backward.

Ten feet away, a tall young cultivator suddenly appeared, with striking long black and white hair, his whole body swirling with black and white lightning. A smile appeared on his face as he said lightly, "Ning Fa, it's been a long time." "Yan Jingchen!..." Ning Fa, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, barely opened them. Upon seeing the person in front of him, his heart sank instantly.

He wouldn't be surprised if a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Tian Shu Alliance, the Nine Immortals Society, or the Qian Yuan Merchant Alliance appeared here.

The person who came was actually Yan Jingchen, which was really unexpected. Moreover, this person had already reached the Nascent Soul stage.

He had not seen this person again in the ten years since the war with the two sea monsters began.

The Tian Shu Alliance was unaware of this and even put him on their wanted list, believing that he had fled out of fear of battle.

I never expected that the other party has already advanced to the Nascent Soul stage. Even though Yan Jingchen is the reincarnation of the Daoist Yanyuan, this speed is really too fast.

Ning Fa even suspected that the Tian Shu Alliance might be funding Yan Jingchen's advancement to the Nascent Soul stage, and that the wanted notice for him might be just for show, since the Tian Shu Alliance was well aware of the grudge between him and Yan Jingchen.

The fact that Yan Jingchen has suddenly appeared here is definitely not a coincidence. It means that he is very likely aware of this conspiracy and is a participant in it.

This person truly lives up to his reputation as the reincarnation of Daoist Yanyuan. After enduring so many years of forbearance, he unleashed his power in one fell swoop, striking at the heart of the matter.

"Hand over the Primordial Bead, and I can give you a dignified death and allow you to return to the cycle of reincarnation. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Yan Jingchen stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly.

Ning Fa took a deep breath. Although he had experienced many ups and downs over the past two hundred years, this time he felt a profound sense of despair.

My current condition has only recovered to less than 20%, and I only have 300 third-order source points left, which is not enough to use the True Form Imprint again.

The Five Elements Divine Thunder's origins have all suffered a significant drop in power, and it's uncertain whether they can even barely use the Chaos Divine Thunder.

Even if it could be used, its power would probably not be comparable to before, and it would not be able to kill Yan Jingchen, who had already reached the Nascent Soul stage. It would also be very likely that it would disintegrate due to the exhaustion of the divine lightning's origin.

But it's impossible to make him surrender without resistance.

Ning Fa used his right hand to collect the black feather that had transformed into a spirit boat beneath him. Then, with a flick of his right hand, he took out the Star Compass and activated the anchor point teleportation runes within it, which was an anchor point he had buried near Yilan Island.

He hadn't even had the power to activate the compass when he first escaped.

Yan Jingchen snorted coldly, flicked his right hand, and instantly the dazzling black and white spiritual light transformed into a lightning chain that rushed towards Ning Fa.

But Ning Fa had already disappeared in a streak of star-blue light.

"Star Compass... It seems you really are a member of the Ziyin clan, you even have such a treasure."

Yan Jingchen narrowed his eyes slightly, not too surprised. Given his status, he naturally knew that the Ziyin Immortal Dynasty had such a peculiar spiritual treasure as the Star Compass.

But he immediately sneered, "Unless you fly ten thousand miles away, you won't be able to escape this time."

As he spoke, his eyes lit up with a black and white light, and soon a smile appeared on his face. He then flew rapidly in one direction.

At this moment, Ningfa appeared nearly a thousand miles to the northwest.

But the next moment, he felt a powerful divine sense lock onto him.

Without hesitation, Ning Fa sped off in the northwest direction. At the same time, he flicked his right hand, and a third-tier puppet beast resembling a black panther flew out.

Ningfa then activated the Star Compass, sending the second anchor point into the puppet beast's mouth. The puppet beast immediately flew off in the opposite direction, due south, as he intended to place the second anchor point.

This time, using the Star Compass will require a one-month cooldown period.

The black panther puppet vanished in a streak of black light. At the same time, Ning Fa immediately activated his lightning escape technique, his figure flashing as he flew several miles away.

To Ning Fa's dismay, he had only flown three hundred miles when a black and white lightning bolt caught up with him at a speed far exceeding his own. Within the beam of light, the cold smile on Yan Jingchen's face was clearly visible.

Just as he was about to catch up with Ning Fa, Yan Jingchen's entire body transformed into a bolt of lightning and suddenly disappeared.

Ning Fa sighed inwardly and had no choice but to activate the Star Compass again. The next moment, he appeared eight hundred miles to the south.

But soon, Yan Jingchen caught up with him again, like a leech clinging to a bone.

"Am I, Ningfa, truly destined to perish here today?"

The thought popped into Ning Fa's mind, but a fierce glint quickly flashed in his eyes.

"Even if it means death, I will destroy the Primordial Bead and prevent Yan Jingchen from succeeding!"

And so, the two engaged in a chase, one pursuing the other.

Half an hour later, Yan Jingchen caught up again.

"Stay here!" Yan Jingchen shouted, summoning a pair of black and white thunder halberds that traced an arcane trajectory as they hurtled towards Ning Fa.

Ning Fa forcefully activated the Divine Firmament Dharma Form amidst the blinding lightning, and unleashed the Heavenly Tribulation Sword to clash with it.

With a loud bang, Ning Fa spat out a mouthful of blood, but he used the momentum of the impact to continue flying south.

"Damn Five Elements Thunder Body!" Yan Jingchen snorted.

Given Ning Fa's current state, he should have been able to defeat his opponent with this attack, but the effect was greatly reduced due to the Five Elements Thunder Body's restraint on him.

"I'd like to see where you can run to!"

The two flew nearly a thousand miles in pursuit, but this time Ning Fa stopped because he could no longer fly.

At this moment, he was barely breathing, with more than a dozen deep, bone-revealing injuries on his body. His magical power, spiritual consciousness, and vital energy were all depleted, and he was practically on his last legs.

Not far away, Yan Jingchen watched him calmly, not in a hurry to make a move. A strange smile appeared on his face as he said lightly:
"To be honest, I still admire you quite a bit."

If this were in my past life, I might have taken you as my disciple.

But your biggest problem is that you're too soft-hearted.

If I were you, I wouldn't care about the big picture or the crisis of the clan. I would definitely find a way to kill me, Qinghong, and Tuli to eliminate future troubles, and then hide away to try to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

We cultivators are defying the heavens. Cultivation is the only foundation; everything else is just a mirage. As long as we are alive, what does it matter if our clan is destroyed?
"Ha, I've said enough. Now hand over the Primordial Bead, and I'll allow you to end your own life and return to the cycle of reincarnation. I hope you'll be wiser in your next life."

Although Ningfa was in a state of despair, his expression remained calm, though there was a hint of loneliness in his eyes.

It seems my path of cultivation has come to an end.

He has too many regrets, but the victor is king and the loser is villain; he accepts it.

Ning Fa then closed his eyes, intending to mobilize all the essence of the Five Elements Divine Thunder for a desperate strike.

But just then, a hurried female voice rang in his mind.

"Ningfa, don't rush to fight to the death, you still have a chance to live! Now head to Green Crystal Island, five thousand miles to the southeast, and I'll try to hold this person off!"

Ning Fa's eyes snapped open. The voice belonged to Fairy Yuanxing, but for a moment he didn't know whether he should believe her.

After all, he had communicated with them before this operation, and the other party's reply was that he would be safe from harm, but he ended up in a life-or-death situation.

At this moment, Yan Jingchen, seeing that Ning Fa had not made a move for a long time, had lost his patience and was about to make a move with a flash of lightning in his hand.

But just then, a burst of starlight appeared out of nowhere above his head, enveloping him, and Yan Jingchen vanished from his spot in an instant.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and leave! Don't you trust this fairy?"
Oh, by the way, those old guys from the Star Luo Palace tricked you using my identity last time, but this time it really is me, so you'd better leave quickly!
I can only hold him off for about an hour. If you haven't escaped by then, today will truly be your death anniversary!

The voice of the Fairy of Distant Stars was full of anxiety.

"Star Luo Palace..."

Ning Fa suddenly realized what was happening and felt a chill run down his spine.

This time, the other party was really well prepared. They probably had already noticed my previous contact with Fairy Farstar and had been holding back. This time, they even anticipated that I would ask Fairy Farstar for help.

Ning Fa felt a surge of hatred rise in his heart again. Without saying a word, he released the black feather again, letting it carry him swiftly towards the southeast.
