Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 1144 Lingxu Sword Pavilion, Reunion with Family

"This kid is a real freak. In my memory, the clansman of the Hongyuan Clan who possessed the Five Elements Thunder Body seemed to be about the same when he first entered the Nascent Soul stage."

But that's the pride of the Hongyuan Clan, and this kid actually dares to compare himself to him..."

Huan Yu, still in his golden bull-beast form, stared at Ning Fa with shock on his bull-like face, then his eyes flickered as if he were pondering something.

The Demon Lord's face showed a hint of emotion as he continued to unleash sword shadows, reaping the lives of the sea race cultivators.

"Speaker, you can't die! Let's hold him off for now, you go first!"

At this moment, the sea creature god-level being carrying three long spears took a deep breath and shouted.

Immediately afterwards, he threw three spears at Ningfa and charged at him with a death-defying spirit.

The other two Nascent Soul cultivators exchanged glances, their faces showing a do-or-die attitude. They mustered their remaining strength and activated their magical treasures to fly towards Ning Fa.

Dario was in tears, but he knew he couldn't waste this precious chance to escape. As he flew backward, he crushed a special round crystal.

It exudes a powerful spatial force, clearly indicating that it is a spiritual object similar to spatial teleportation.

It was enveloped in a rich blue light, its silhouette appearing and disappearing within it.

But before it completely disappeared, a phantom of a full moon appeared in the blue water, and an arc-shaped crescent blade mark was imprinted on its back.

Dario then disappeared, and then Ningfa sensed Dario appearing thousands of miles away through the tracking marker.

Ning Fa sneered, not in a hurry to pursue and kill this person. He would kill the three Nascent Soul cultivators of the sea race and the elite sea race cultivators around them first.

As Ning Fa activated his True Form Imprint once more, a purple-tinged figure appeared before him once more.

After the purple lightning dissipated, Ningfa's aura returned to its peak.

However, he felt a pang of heartache, because this time he had consumed a full 600 fourth-tier source points, which was obviously because the Void Transformation Slash had just consumed a lot of his Supreme Gold Divine Thunder Origin.

Seeing the three Nascent Soul cultivators from the sea race rushing towards him like moths to a flame, Ning Fa's face revealed a sinister smile.

After advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, he had no intention of allowing the sea race to continue to exist in this realm; today, he was going to unleash a massacre.

With a thunderous roar, Ningfa vanished in the lightning, followed shortly by the scream of a sea creature's Nascent Soul cultivator.

On the other side, after seeing Dario escape, the ancestral beast Huanyu's bull eyes darted around, then it opened its mouth and spat out a golden talisman with an ancient design, completely different from the talismans of the human world.

It then transformed into a shower of golden fragments, enveloping Huan Yu within them, and the beast's figure vanished without a trace.

Sixty breaths later, with the last sea race Nascent Soul cultivator carrying three long spears having his head severed and his nascent soul extracted by Ning Fa, all three sea race Nascent Soul cultivators perished.

But the numerous elite sea creature cultivators around them forgot their fear at this moment, as if they had fallen into madness, and desperately attacked Ning Fa.

Ning Fa looked at the sea race cultivators rushing towards him like madmen, snorted coldly, shrugged his shoulders, and once again activated the Divine Firmament Dharma Form.

Immediately, the man and his Dharma form charged into the large group of sea creature cultivators like tigers among sheep. Wherever they went, the sea creature cultivators fell like wheat being harvested, leaving behind only limbs and fragments, and rivers of blood.

Whether they were third- or fourth-tier sea creatures, they all perished upon contact. Even the nascent souls of those fourth-tier sea creatures could not escape and vanished in the lightning.

An hour later, the place had become a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, where thousands of high-level sea race cultivators had died tragically, including more than fifty fourth-level sea race members.

The other sea creature cultivators suddenly realized what was happening and retreated in a frenzy, replaced by uncontrollable fear. They no longer cared about anything else and fled in all directions.

A flash of purple lightning revealed Ning Fa's figure once more.

At this moment, he was covered in blood, all of it the blood of his enemies.

He squinted at the fleeing sea creature cultivators. Although he was still alive, he had no intention of chasing after them.

Because he sensed that the tracking mark he had previously placed on Dario had stopped, seemingly because Huan Yu had caught up with it.

Ningfa immediately decided to give chase. Besides Dario, a Nascent Soul cultivator in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, he didn't want Huanyu to have all the wealth and status of the Tide Council's president.

He always felt that the mysterious mythical beast's covetousness towards the sea creatures was not as simple as he claimed.

Thinking of this, Ning Fa shouted to the Demon Lord not far away, "Demon Lord, let's retreat first."

As he spoke, Ning Fa pointed upwards, and five-colored lightning surged, instantly forming a lightning array more than ten feet in size.

This is another innate divine ability he obtained after advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, namely Lightning Leap, which evolved from Lightning Escape, or Lightning Teleportation.

Soon, Ningfa and the Demon Lord disappeared from sight.

Lightning suddenly appeared in the sky above the sea, thousands of miles away, and instantly formed a lightning array.

Ning Fa and the Demon Lord's figures appeared among them; it was he who used Thunder Leap three times in succession to reach this place.

The two immediately looked ahead.

Several miles away, a young man dressed in a light gold robe could be seen; it was none other than the ancestral beast Huan Yu.

He had now returned to human form, with a pale blue nascent soul floating in front of him. Judging from its appearance, it was none other than Dario, the chairman of the Tide Council. Its old face was twisted and ferocious, and it seemed to be neither alive nor dead.

Huan Yu, on the other hand, held a pale white bead in his hand, examining it closely as if it were a precious treasure.

Countless sword shadows flowed continuously on the surface of this bead, and even from a great distance, one could feel a powerful and profound sword intent.

Sensing the movement, he turned to look at Ning Fa and the other person, his face first showing surprise, then a look of apprehension flashing in his eyes, and he whispered:

"Truly worthy of the Five Elements Thunder Body, even I am envious of such a divine ability of instant teleportation."

Ning Fa stared intently at the white bead in Huan Yu's hand, his face full of surprise.

He was very familiar with this bead; he also had one, the Sword Soul Bead.

The one in Huan Yu's hand is extremely similar to the one in his hand in both appearance and aura.

Could it be that the key to that special place in the Illusory Light Realm that this demon spoke of is this Sword Soul Pearl?

The Demon Lord also stared intently at the bead, his eyes filled with undisguised delight.

At this moment, Huan Yu smiled slightly, flicked his finger, and the unconscious Dario Nascent Soul flew to Ning Fa's side: "I have long heard that Fellow Daoist Ning is very fond of this kind of Nascent Soul. I specially kept this guy's Nascent Soul for you."

Ning Fa didn't stand on ceremony. He grabbed it with his right hand and disappeared in a flash, but his gaze remained fixed on the white bead. He asked directly, "Fellow Daoist Huan Yu, is the key you mentioned the round bead in your hand?"

Huan Yu's smile deepened: "That's right, judging from your expressions, you two seem to have already recognized him."

This item is indeed the legendary Sword Soul Pearl, originating from the long-extinct Lingxu Sword Pavilion.

Later, Jian Ge became a high-level secret realm in your Nine Dragons Sea, and you could enter it with the Ten Thousand Swords Diagram.

However, about two thousand years ago, the Lingxu Sword Pavilion underwent a change and has never been opened again.

The real reason is that it has been integrated into the Illusory Light Heaven Domain. If you want to enter it again, the Myriad Swords Diagram alone is not enough. You must use the Sword Soul Pearl, which is a secret of this pavilion.

It took me a lot of effort to finally learn that the only remaining Sword Soul Pearl in the world was secretly kept by the sea tribe.

Hehe, it seems they also know some secrets about the Lingxu Sword Pavilion, so they're interested in getting inside.

Fortunately, the matter of Mitian Valley diverted their attention; otherwise, the secret within the Lingxu Sword Pavilion might have slipped through my fingers.

After he finished speaking, he looked straight at Ning Fa, a hint of expectation in his eyes.

After her initial surprise, Ning Fa quickly regained her composure.

Huan Yu clearly wanted him to go to Lingxu Sword Pavilion together; otherwise, if there really was some great opportunity, how could he be willing to share it with others?

"Fellow Daoist, why keep me in suspense? Just say what you have to say," Ning Fa asked directly.

Huan Yu's smile vanished, and he said in a deep voice, "As for what the secret is, please allow me to keep you in suspense for now. I cannot tell you until we actually enter the Sword Pavilion."

But this is an absolutely tremendous opportunity, enough to pave the way for you to advance to the Void Refinement stage.

However, going to Lingxu Sword Pavilion is extremely dangerous, and I am really not confident about going there myself.

Fellow Daoist Ning's supernatural abilities are far superior to mine, and with Fellow Daoist Zhuang, whose supernatural abilities are equally extraordinary, the three of us joining forces should be able to achieve great success in the Spirit Void Sword Pavilion.

So, how about it? Interested in joining us?
If you want it, you should decide quickly. I have already tried to enter the entrance to the Illusionary Light Realm once, and I know that the restriction is at its weakest every 180 years. At other times, even with the Sword Soul Pearl, it is difficult to enter.

With less than a year until the next one, I originally planned to give up this time and wait until my cultivation had improved a hundred and eighty years later before going in.

However, if the two of you can join forces, then we won't have to wait so long. We can try our luck this time, lest things get complicated, since the Illusory Light Heavenly Domain isn't entirely peaceful right now.”

After saying that, Huan Yu looked at the two of them with anticipation.

Ningfa thought about it briefly, but quickly decided to give up.

Huan Yu wouldn't even explain himself clearly, so how could he easily risk going to that dangerous place? Besides, he still needed to find a refuge for the Zi Yin clan and confirm the safety of Cheng Susu and the others.

Besides that, he also wanted to visit Mitian Valley.

After all, his real enemies, Gu Zun, Yuan Zun, and Yan Jingchen, were all in Mitian Valley. If they got their hands on the treasures in the valley, he would be in big trouble and he had to stop them.

Thinking of this, Ning Fa shook his head directly: "Sorry, I'm not interested in this matter. If it's 180 years from now, that's another story, but of course, you'll need to tell me the complete information."

Huan Yu couldn't help but show disappointment.

To Ning Fa's surprise, the Demon Lord simply said, "I will go with you."

Seeing Ning Fa's surprised look, the Demon Lord transmitted his thoughts to Ning Fa: "Fellow Daoist Ning, my Silent God Sword Body is not complete, which will directly affect whether I can advance to the Void Refinement stage in the future."

Although I don't know what the secret of the Lingxu Sword Pavilion he mentioned is, I do know that a special sword intent is sealed deep within the pavilion.

If I can absorb and refine it, my sword body may become whole again, so I can't miss this opportunity.

Ning Fa's surprise faded, and he nodded.

Huan Yu's spirits lifted: "Great! With Fellow Daoist Zhuang joining us, the two of us can also try our luck at the Spirit Void Sword Pavilion."

The three then decided to go their separate ways. Huan Yu, being quite sensible, took out Dario's storage shells and split them equally with Ning Fa.

After all, he could easily capture Dario, but Ningfa severely injured him, so he got the spoils. Anyway, he had already obtained the most important thing.

Ning Fa's lips moved slightly as he transmitted his voice, "This ancestral beast has a mysterious origin, Demon Lord, you must be careful."

As he spoke, Ningfa handed a storage ring to the Demon Lord.

He gained a great deal on this trip. Not to mention the Heavenly Book, he had basically acquired all the wealth of those sea creatures who had reached the God-level. Naturally, he had to share some of the benefits with the Demon Lord.

The Demon Lord nodded, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Ning Fa, and sword light emanated from his body as he followed Huan Yu away.

……

More than a month later, in the southeastern part of Kowloon Sea, deep in the desolate sea.

Three figures appeared in the sky above a seemingly ordinary deserted island: Ning Fa, Su Wanwan, and Jin Hao.

Seeing the familiar island, especially the tranquil lake in the center, Ning Fa's face showed a hint of excitement.

This is the entrance to the Ziyin clan's territory. This place is really hard to find. We passed through many illusion arrays along the way, which took a while, but fortunately we arrived in time.

At this time, there are still seven days left until the Yin month and Yin hour of the year.

"Brother Ning, why did you go through all this trouble to come to this remote island?" Su Wanwan looked around the island, which had hardly any demonic beasts, and asked with some doubt.

After Ning Fa separated from the Demon Lord and Huan Yu, he went to the island where the Xuan Sheng Wu Liang Fruit was planted and found Su Wanwan.

This woman's alchemy skills were quite remarkable. She used those Mysterious Life Limitless Fruits to refine three batches of pills, resulting in seven pills.

Jin Hao took one pill, she took two, and the remaining four pills, along with the three remaining Xuan Sheng Wu Liang Fruits, all went to Ning Fa.

Ning Fa originally intended to part ways with them, but Su Wanwan insisted on following him.

Because her cultivation has now reached the late stage of Nascent Soul, she needs to consider breaking through to the Divine Transformation stage next.

She feared she might not see Ning Fa again for a long time, so she begged Ning Fa to help her strengthen her nascent soul now, so that she would have no worries when she tried to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Su Wanwan had done Ning Fa a great favor, so Ning Fa naturally agreed.

However, helping her consolidate her nascent soul was not something that could be accomplished in a short time, so he simply took the person and the dog with him.

Before Ning Fa could answer Su Wanwan's question, Jin Hao barked and said with a fawning expression, "Fellow Daoist Su, don't be impatient. Brother Ning must have his reasons for doing this. Just do as he says."

Ning Fa couldn't help but smile. This Jin Hao was quite interesting. After figuring out his attitude, he seized the opportunity and changed "Senior Ning" to the more intimate "Brother Ning," and his words were extremely flattering.

"What Xiao Jin said is absolutely right, Fellow Daoist Su, just watch and see."

Ningfa chuckled and flew towards the lake in the middle of the island.

Jin Hao looked at Su Wanwan with a smug expression, barked once, and then followed.

Su Wanwan looked disdainful, but as she watched Ning Fa's retreating figure, she couldn't help but think of the intimate contact between them that Ning Fa had caused in recent days while helping her consolidate her nascent soul. Her pretty face flushed slightly, she spat lightly, and then flew away as well.

Ningfa waited patiently by the lake, and seven days later, the Yin month and Yin hour finally arrived.

He suddenly stood up, looking at the tranquil lake before him, his eyes filled with barely concealed excitement.

With a thought, lightning burst forth behind him, revealing a cyan lightning tree with arcs of electricity swirling on its surface and mysterious purple tree patterns.

As the purple tree patterns shone brightly, the once calm lake surface began to tremble, and a purple light suddenly appeared in the water, which then formed the shape of an ancient purple gate.

Ningfa was overjoyed and finally felt relieved.

"You all wait for me here."

Before he finished speaking, Ning Fa had already transformed into a beam of purple light and disappeared into it.

The next moment, Ning Fa arrived in a mysterious, purple-hued space. Not far away, on a sacred mountain, sat a vast array of jade palaces. This was the ancestral land of the Zi Yin Sect.

Ning Fa scanned the area with his divine sense and immediately detected a series of familiar figures. A great weight was lifted from his heart. As he flew rapidly, he couldn't contain his excitement and let out a long roar.

The people here were immediately alarmed, and dozens of figures flew out from the pavilions on Mount Ling and flew towards Ning Fa.

The two sides soon met. Upon seeing Ning Fa, who was imposing and exuding a powerful spiritual pressure at the Nascent Soul stage, hovering in front of them, the newcomers were all excited and their eyes were filled with tears.

A beautiful figure rushed into Ningfa's arms like a swallow returning to its nest, tightly hugging his waist, and cried out in anguish, "Husband, you're finally back..."

Ning Fa looked at Cheng Susu in his arms and felt as if his heart was being torn apart.

Although Cheng Susu's appearance was still as beautiful as ever, her black hair had turned gray, her eyes were covered with a thin layer of gray mist, and her cultivation level had dropped from the late stage of Core Formation to the middle stage. Moreover, her soul fire was also very weak. If this continued, she might not even be able to maintain her middle stage cultivation level. This was obviously caused by excessive worry.

Ning Fa could hardly imagine how Cheng Susu had spent the past hundred years, worrying about herself while also worrying about their son Ning An.

Ningfa put his arm around her and gently patted her back: "I'm sorry, Susu, I made you worry again. I will never let you suffer like this again..."

Don't worry, Xiao An is fine too. I've rescued him, and you'll be able to see each other again soon.

Cheng Susu choked up and couldn't speak.

Not far away, Cheng Ziyi, Ning Shaohong, Wei Shiqin, Meng Ruoqi, Yun Ying and other women were also in tears, but they all had genuine smiles on their faces.

With Ningfa back, they regained their sense of direction.

Dressed in a black robe and still looking like a young man, Baili Ming's eyes were filled with emotion, and he muttered to himself:

"I used to joke that this kid was the chosen one, and it seems that it really is true."

A mere century has passed, and not only did he not die, he actually advanced to the Nascent Soul stage. If he isn't the chosen one, then who is?

Besides Ning Shaohong and the others who were already on Xuan Ning Island, there were also Xiao Yu, Ouyang Qinghe, Xia Xinlan, Duanmu Ling, more than a dozen members of the Ning family, and Ning Fa's two disciples, Wen Hui and Liu Ruohong.

They escaped to Kowloon Sea using a teleportation array right after the incident, thus narrowly escaping death.

They were all moved to tears when they saw Ningfa return.

It took a while for everyone's excitement to subside.

Ning Fa turned to look at the other side, where the Zi Yin clan members were led by Huangfu Ziyue and Zhuo Qing.

"Brother Ning, you're finally back."

Huangfu Ziyue stared intently at Ning Fa with her bright eyes, a tear streaming down her beautiful face.

Zhuo Qing stood beside her, looking at Ning Fa with equally intense emotions in her eyes.

Behind the two women were six other Nascent Soul cultivators and more than twenty Core Formation stage Zi Yin clan members, all looking at Ning Fa with complicated expressions.

There were many details of that operation, which were later leaked by the Sea Clan. So they knew long ago that Huangfu Jin, the guardian deity of the Ziyin Clan, sacrificed himself to help Ning Fa. Therefore, when they saw Ning Fa now, they couldn't help but think of Huangfu Jin.

Ning Fa looked at them solemnly and said in a firm voice, "Rest assured, everyone, I, Ning Fa, hereby promise that I will uproot the Tian Shu Alliance and help the Zi Yin Clan rebuild the Immortal Dynasty!"

Upon hearing Ning Fa's promise, Huangfu Ziyue trembled violently, tears streaming down her face.

The other members of the Ziyin clan also wept with joy. Someone took the lead, bowed deeply, and shouted in unison:

"Meet the clan leader!"
