Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 1133 Wang Min's Sacrifice, Lingluo Dharma Body

Inside the Qianyuan Mountains, on that majestic spiritual mountain with a fifth-grade superior spiritual vein, sits a cluster of jade palaces that resemble a fairyland.

Inside the main hall, in the spacious hall, Ning Fa sat behind a jade table, rubbing his temples.

The relentless killing over the past two months had left him feeling somewhat exhausted.

After all, the three major sects, including the Wushi Demon Palace, are ancient forces with a long history. When he arrived with his men, these sects had already activated their protective mountain formations, and it took him a lot of effort to break through them.

Moreover, there are many loyal cultivators within these sects, but for Ning Fa, anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy.

Therefore, along with the destruction of the three major sects, many sect cultivators were also buried with them.

Ning Fa showed no leniency in this regard.

Putting aside his own family, the Huayu Sect was completely innocent. Just because he was implicated, if it weren't for the protection of Xuyuan Jushi and others, their fate wouldn't have been much better.

Therefore, these three major sects, who dare to aid and abet evil, must be prepared for such consequences.

Of course, he couldn't kill all the cultivators from the three major sects.

His strategy towards these cultivators was the same as that of the Qian Yuan Merchant Alliance cultivators: he placed restrictions on all Core Formation and Nascent Soul cultivators, and even tightened his control over them more strictly than the Qian Yuan Merchant Alliance cultivators.

Ning Fa would not easily lift the restriction, because the loyalty of sect cultivators is usually higher.

As for the arrangements for these people, Ning Fa planned to incorporate them all into the Qian Yuan Merchant Alliance, or more precisely, the current Changning Merchant Guild, to fill the vacancies left by the deceased.

Of course, these people were all forcibly suppressed by him. Even with the restrictions placed on them, it was hard to guarantee that trouble wouldn't arise, and there were even those who harbored hatred and sought revenge.

But for Ningfa, none of this mattered; he couldn't let fear of retaliation prevent him from taking action.

Moreover, he does not intend to let the Ning family or Huayu Sect take the lead in managing things in the short term; they still need to focus on cultivation.

Ningfa then looked at the pile of things on the jade table and couldn't help but smile.

There are nearly a hundred storage rings on this table, and they are all top-of-the-line with the largest storage capacity.

Each of these storage rings contains spiritual resources enough to drive a Nascent Soul cultivator wild with desire.

This is the treasure trove of the five major forces: the Gu family, the Qian Yuan Merchant Alliance, the Wu Shi Demon Palace, the Tai Qing Sect, and the Yuan Cha Sect.

Although it does not represent all the assets of these five major forces, it contains the majority of their essence, including the personal assets of the ancient venerable avatars who died in battle, the Venerable of Ten Thousand Fiends, the God Lord of Slaughtering the Moon, and other Nascent Soul cultivators.

Their total value is difficult to measure in spirit stones, including nearly fifty top-grade spirit stones alone.

This made Ning Fa marvel at the profound resources of these powerful forces. He had originally thought that the human race might have already used up all their top-grade spirit stones in the previous operation.

In addition, there are tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones, countless mid-grade spirit stones, and low-grade spirit stones are not even qualified to be placed in these storage rings.

In addition, there is a dazzling array of spiritual items of various grades, including pills, talismans, magic weapons, spirit ores, spirit herbs, and spirit flowers, which are too numerous to count. Those that can be specially treasured are at least of the third grade or higher.

The combined value of these things far exceeds that of those spirit stones.

For example, there are thirteen pieces of various spiritual treasures and prototypes of heaven-reaching spiritual treasures, not counting those that were destroyed during Ningfa's attack.

There are also various fifth-tier spiritual items, such as array restrictions, talismans, spiritual herbs, spiritual medicines and other spiritual materials, totaling nearly a hundred kinds. Many of these spiritual materials were originally thought by Ning Fa to have long been extinct in the human realm.

This broadened his horizons and delighted him, as many of the things were extremely useful to him.

For example, many of them are high-level pure elemental spiritual objects, and some are even innate elemental spiritual objects. They can not only replenish the divine lightning source he lost before, but also enhance the source of the divine lightning source.

Moreover, this doesn't even include the vast array of cultivation techniques and classic texts from the five major powers, whose combined value is astonishing, and naturally, Ning Fa accepted them without hesitation.

Ningfa plans to take only the most valuable and useful items with him, leaving the rest behind.

Thinking of this, Ningfa took out a sound transmission talisman and said something.

Soon after, several cultivators entered the main hall. They were Ning Zhongyuan, Ning Hongye, Ning Zonglie, Ning An, and other core members of the Ning family.

The group of people all looked as if they were in a dream.

Although Ning Fa's intention was clear—to have the Ning family replace the Gu family and take over the Qian Yuan Business Alliance, now known as the Changning Business Firm—they still found it hard to believe.

Ning Fa smiled slightly: "Elder, Ninth Uncle, Uncle Lie, Xiao An, you should stay here in the Qian Yuan Mountains and cultivate well. Don't worry about anything else."

After I leave, I will completely seal off the Qianyuan Mountain Range to prevent any villains from seeking revenge.

"Your most urgent task is to break through your cultivation level as soon as possible. Our Ning family's strength is still too weak; we don't even have a single Nascent Soul cultivator. How can we manage such a large trading company and so many businesses?"

Ning Zhongyuan looked ashamed, then said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, Xiao Fa, we will definitely work hard to cultivate in the future."

Ning Fa nodded. He believed that with cultivation on this fifth-grade high-quality spiritual vein and with so many precious resources to assist, even a pseudo-spiritual root like a four-spiritual root could potentially cultivate to the Core Formation stage, let alone those with dual or triple spiritual roots.

Then, Ning Fa looked at Ning An, who still had long, snow-white hair, and a trace of heartache appeared in his eyes. He said in a deep voice, "Xiao An, your father will definitely solve your spiritual problem."

Ning An shook his head with a wry smile: "Father, there's no need to take this matter too seriously."

My only wish now is to see my mother as soon as possible.

I haven't heard from her in so long, and I'm really worried."

Ning Fa nodded: "You don't need to worry about your mother's safety. You should be able to see her soon."

This was another important purpose of his trip to Kowloon, as the month and time of Yin in the year were fast approaching.

Afterwards, Ningfa spoke a few more words to the group before getting up and going to another hall.

Inside the hall, a beautiful woman with white hair sat cross-legged on a jade bed. This woman was none other than the long-unseen True Lord Tianyou.

Upon seeing Ning Fa arrive, True Monarch Tianyou stood up, looking at him with a complex expression, and shook his head with a sigh:

"I never imagined that a kid who was just a Core Formation stage more than two hundred years ago would grow to this level in such a short time."

By a twist of fate, I ended up finding Qinghe a good husband.

Ningfa looked at her with a smile.

Speaking of which, the experiences of Tianyou Zhenjun were also quite bumpy.

Not to mention her love-hate entanglement with Donghua Zhenjun, the former Grand Elder of Huayu Sect, she was also controlled by Yuanchamen and turned into a puppet because of her daughter Ouyang Qinghe.

Later, he was rescued by Liyue using special methods, but he was implicated and captured by the Yuancha Sect, becoming the incarnation of the Luyue God.

Fortunately, the consciousness of True Lord Tianyou did not dissipate, so there was still a chance to salvage the situation.

With Ning Fa's current supernatural powers and powerful divine soul, he can naturally reverse the situation and ultimately restore Tianyou Zhenjun's freedom.

Ning Fa had no intention of sparing Lu Yue Shenjun's life.

This woman has caused quite a bit of trouble. If she hadn't told the Ancient Venerable about her daughter, things might not have come to this.

Ning Fa, who hated her intensely, naturally had no intention of sparing her life. After rescuing Tian You, he killed her directly.

Even more surprisingly, True Lord Tianyou benefited from the misfortune, absorbing a significant amount of the original power of God Lord Luyue, directly breaking through to the late Nascent Soul stage in cultivation, and inheriting some of the special divine abilities of his original body, thus greatly increasing his strength.

Ning Fa took out a storage ring and tossed it to True Monarch Tianyou, saying with a smile, "There are some pills in this storage ring that should be of great use to you. I am about to head to the Nine Dragons Sea, and I will need you to stay here."

“I will take good care of her,” True Monarch Tianyou replied, then hesitated slightly, “And Qinghe…”

"Don't worry, I will bring Qinghe back with me next time I come back," Ning Fa said in a deep voice.

Next, Ningfa went to another side hall.

In the side hall, a young woman with a graceful figure and stunning beauty, dressed in a pleated skirt adorned with a hundred flowers, sat regally on a jade chair.

Although her expression was calm, she could not hide her nervousness. Upon seeing Ning Fa arrive, she immediately stood up, gave a graceful bow, and said with a light smile, "Greetings, Senior Ning."

Ning Fa glanced at her and thought to himself that this woman's beauty was among the top three of all the women he had ever seen.

He smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Wang, I heard that you have been waiting for me to tell you something important these past few months. May I ask what it is?"

Wang Min immediately said, "Senior Ning should know that the reason I married Gu Ying was entirely because he forced me with his treacherous scheme. I had no choice but to agree for the sake of my master's safety."

I have something to report, concerning an important secret of the Gu family.

They possess a mysterious dual cultivation technique that allows them to draw upon the woman's spiritual energy to nourish their own.

Ning Fa raised his eyebrows.

He had searched the souls of the Ancient Venerable's avatar, the Ancient Eagle, and many core members of the Ancient Clan, so he naturally knew this information. The cultivation technique was called "Luan Feng He Yuan Jue" and was currently in his storage ring.

He believed that Wang Min was aware that he knew about this matter, yet still dared to bring it up, and his intentions were worth pondering.

Because of his possession of the Five Elements Thunder Body, it is now known to most high-level cultivators, if not everyone.

Therefore, this exercise also had an effect on him.

In other words, he could replace Gu Ying in dual cultivation with Wang Min, absorbing her spiritual power to strengthen his own spiritual body.

“I am well aware of this matter. Aren’t you afraid that I will drain your spirit as well?” Ning Fa asked meaningfully, his hands behind his back.

Wang Min stared intently at him, undaunted, her eyes even carrying a hint of eagerness.

"I hate Gu Ying and the Gu family to the bone. I am extremely grateful for your help in avenging me and I would like to repay you with my life."

So even if all my spiritual power is taken by you, senior, I will do it willingly.

Ning Fa looked at her with slightly narrowed eyes.

When Gu Ying searched Gu Ying's soul, he was deeply impressed by Wang Min, believing that she was extremely intelligent.

Therefore, Ning Fa simply does not believe Wang Min's claim that she would willingly offer up her spirit and sever her spiritual path simply out of gratitude.

“I don’t like beating around the bush. Tell me your real purpose,” Ning Fa said, his smile fading.

Wang Min looked slightly embarrassed, but quickly said firmly, "Senior has keen insight. This humble woman does indeed have other requests."

I know that the senior possesses the legendary top-tier spiritual body—the Five Elements Thunder Body.

If you were at the same cultivation level as me, practicing that dual cultivation technique might be helpful for your breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage.

However, now that the senior has broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, practicing this technique again will not be very effective, and the enhancement to the senior's spiritual body should be negligible.

But if I advance to the Nascent Soul stage, the situation will be different.

I possess the Dream Luo Spirit Body, which is rare and belongs to the upper-class spirit body, but it is not considered the most outstanding.

What the world doesn't know is that after a cultivator with the Dream Luo Spirit Body advances to the Nascent Soul stage, their spirit body may undergo a transformation, with a certain possibility of advancing to the legendary Spirit Luo Body.

Although this spiritual body cannot compare to the Five Elements Thunder Body of the predecessors, it is definitely one of the top Dao bodies.

"At that time, when we cultivate that dual cultivation technique together, it should greatly benefit your spiritual body."

Upon hearing this, Ning Fa's expression finally changed.

He was very familiar with the reputation of the Lingluo Body, and in some ways it was even slightly better than Ning An's Seven Luminaries Body.

Legend has it that this spiritual body is also known as the Five Elements Dharma Body, which is born with the five elements spiritual roots combined, but is completely different from ordinary cultivators with the five spiritual roots.

Cultivators with this Dao Body can only manifest one type of spiritual root at lower realms, so their cultivation aptitude is no different from that of a Heavenly Spiritual Root, and their cultivation speed is extremely fast.

And when breaking through the legendary Void Refinement Realm, the advantage is even greater.

At that time, the other four spiritual roots could be revealed, which was much better than ordinary cultivators using various methods to complete their false spiritual roots.

There is a special bonus when breaking through to the Void Refinement stage, which can increase the chances of success by at least 30%, which is already quite remarkable.

Of course, after advancing to the Void Refinement stage, the advantages of this kind of spiritual body will be greatly reduced, making it far inferior to his Five Elements Thunder Body, a late-stage spiritual body.

However, it is still remarkable, since very few cultivators can achieve the Refinement of Emptiness.

Ning Fa never expected that Wang Min's Mengluo spirit body could actually transform into this legendary Dharma body.

If it's true, it would be of great help to him, because the Spirit Luo Body is very compatible with him.

He had previously taken the time to study that dual cultivation technique carefully, but after a closer look, he lost much interest in it.

This technique might be extremely effective for male cultivators with ordinary spiritual bodies, but it probably won't be of much use to him.

Moreover, this technique has many limitations, and he didn't want to do anything too insidious, so he didn't plan to let his clansmen practice it.

However, the woman's sudden mention of this made Ningfa somewhat understand her purpose.

Thinking of this, Ning Fa's eyes flashed with a white light, and Wang Min immediately felt that he had been seen through.

She was startled at first, then looked at Ning Fa with a calm expression.

At this moment, Ning Fa's expression changed.

After he carefully probed with his divine sense, the Heavenly Book of Crossing Origins in his sea of ​​consciousness stirred and revealed a message:
"Tracing the origins of the Dream Luo Spirit Body to the Spirit Luo Dharma Body requires 800 fifth-tier Source Points."

The strange look in Ning Fa's eyes faded, and his face revealed undisguised surprise.

What Wang Min said was true; her Dream Luo Spirit Body could indeed advance to the Spirit Luo Dharma Body.

If that Phoenix Harmony Technique truly possesses such powerful abilities, then cultivating with Wang Min should significantly strengthen my spiritual body.

This is not about improving the origin of divine lightning, because the origin of divine lightning cannot be improved indefinitely. Once a certain threshold is reached, there are conditions for advancement, such as the other two divine lightnings stuck at the peak of the fourth tier: the supreme earth divine lightning and the supreme fire divine lightning.

However, it should enhance the power of the innate divine abilities brought by the Five Elements Thunder Body.

This was enough for him to help Wang Min advance to the Nascent Soul stage and to advance her spiritual body to the Spirit Luo Dharma Body.

This gain may even be greater than the massive resources seized from those five major powers.

Ning Fa looked intently at Wang Min. Seeing his expression, Wang Min knew what was going on and said frankly:
"As I've made it clear, all I'm pursuing is advancing to the Nascent Soul stage."

Due to my spiritual nature, advancing to the Nascent Soul stage is much more difficult for me than for ordinary cultivators, and under normal circumstances, it is simply impossible.

However, with the help of experienced people, there should still be a certain degree of success.

As long as you can help me advance to the Nascent Soul stage, I'd be willing to give you my entire spiritual body.

Even if my cultivation path is severed, reaching the Nascent Soul realm is enough for me.

Ning Fa paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "You are quite frank."

Okay, I promise you.

But I need to place a restriction on you first, after all, I don't want my efforts to be in vain. That should be alright, right?

Wang Min was not surprised but delighted, and smiled sweetly: "Thank you, senior. Please do as you wish."

Moreover, I've long heard that although you are a womanizer, you treat your female confidantes very well.

"If I could be one of them, I would be extremely honored."

At this point, a hint of allure appeared on the woman's stunningly beautiful face.

Ning Fa smiled.

He doesn't accept just any woman.

Although this woman is exceptional in both appearance and talent, he currently only views her as someone he is making a deal with.

Ning Fa then raised his hand and placed a restriction on Wang Min before leaving the side hall, leaving Wang Min alone in the main hall.

Wang Min's pretty face first showed a hint of sadness.

She was still unwilling to give up her spirit body, but when she thought about how she could gain the Nascent Soul realm in exchange, she felt it was all worth it.

Not long after, Ningfa arrived at a cave more than a thousand feet underground in the depths of the Qianyuan Mountains.

Inside the cave, countless chains bound a disheveled young man in mid-air. Wisps of eerie blue flames spewed from the surrounding void, scorching his body and causing him to roar in agony with a ferocious expression.

This person was Gu Ying.

Ning Fa curled his lips into a cold smile, watched for a moment, and then got up and left.

Soon after, almost all of the hundreds of restrictions on the entire Qianyuan Mountain Range were activated, sealing off the area.

Ning Fa quietly left the Great Qin and headed back to the Nine Dragons Sea.
