Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 1162 Ascension
Ningfa arrived at a mountain peak, where a beautiful figure in a white dress was waiting for him; it was none other than the White Phoenix Fairy.

As Ning Fa slowly flew towards her, smiling, Fairy Bai Feng suddenly had a premonition that this parting might be the last time she saw him.

Her robes fluttered as she bit her lip and asked, "Senior Brother Ning, are you planning to ascend to immortality?"

Ning Fa was taken aback, not expecting that Fairy Bai Feng had guessed it, and then nodded.

Bai Fengxianzi's beautiful eyes immediately filled with reluctance, and she flew forward to give Ning Fa a gentle hug.

Ning Fa hugged her tighter, and after a while, he took out a storage ring and handed it to Fairy Bai Feng: "I'll be waiting for you in the Spirit Realm."

With that, Ningfa drifted away.

Ning Fa originally intended to go directly to the Ning family's territory on the other side of the Changning Mountains, where there are still some Ning family members, mainly of mortal blood.

He had previously sent Fairy Wanlan and Ning Zhongjiu, the second elder of the Ning family, here to handle some matters, and he needed to go over and give them some instructions.

Suddenly, Ningfa sensed something and changed direction, flying towards another mountain.

On the towering mountain, hundreds of feet high, were lush green bamboos. In the heart of the bamboo forest was a small courtyard, where a beautiful and pure-looking woman was leisurely watering flowers. This woman was none other than Liu Qinghui.

At this point, she had already advanced to the late stage of Core Formation.

She is also the head of the Danfeng Peak of the Huayu Sect, holding a high position and great power. However, she generally does not like to participate in sect affairs and often stays alone on this bamboo mountain. Therefore, Ning Fa did not see her in the main hall just now.

Hearing footsteps, Liu Qinghui turned around and saw Ning Fa suddenly appear. The flower pot in her hand slipped to the ground, and her eyes immediately filled with tears.

A hint of emotion flickered in Ning Fa's eyes as he couldn't help but recall the days he spent living with Liu Qinghui on the Ning family's small bamboo island.

At this moment, Liu Qinghui rushed over like a whirlwind, and Ning Fa did not refuse, pulling her into his arms.

After a tender moment, Liu Qinghui, her face still flushed, suddenly asked, "Will I see you again in the spirit world?"

Ning Fa nodded, and with a flick of his right hand, several bottles of pills appeared: "Take these pills; they should help you break through to the Nascent Soul stage. I hope you can also advance to the Deity Transformation stage and ascend to the Spirit Realm in the future."

Liu Qinghui didn't look at the pills, but instead looked at Ning Fa with a sense of loss. Then she flipped over and pinned Ning Fa to the ground, gritting her teeth as she said, "I haven't had enough yet, let's have some more!"

After a long time, Ning Fa left and arrived at the Ning family's territory in the Changning Mountains.

After giving Ning Zhongjiu some instructions, he went to another courtyard.

A woman in red armor was carving a wooden sculpture with a dagger. The sculpture depicted a handsome man, lifelike, and looked exactly like Ning Fa.

As if sensing something, she suddenly stood up and looked back. When she saw Ning Fa, who had suddenly appeared and was looking at her with a smile, she burst into tears and ran towards him, throwing herself into his arms: "Ning Fa, Xiuying has finally seen you again!"

This woman was Ning Xiuying, who was already at the mid-stage of Core Formation.

Looking at this woman, Ning Fa was filled with emotion. Ning Xiuying was the first woman he had ever met since he transmigrated here, and she held a special place in his heart.

After a tender moment, Ning Fa left Ning Xiuying a pile of cultivation resources and instructed her, "Xiuying, cultivate diligently."

Ning Xiuying hugged Ning Fa's arm tightly, tears streaming down her face, and nodded heavily.

……

To the west of the Cangyuan Immortal Cultivation Realm lies the Immortal Sea.

In the boundless sea, Ning Fa suddenly appeared. He looked at the endless sea, a slight smile playing on his lips, and then slashed forward with his right hand.

Amidst the roar, a massive spatial rift appeared, and Ning Fa flew directly into it.

Not long after, Ningfa appeared on a special island.

This place is located on the outskirts of the ancient fairy island.

Ning Fa spread his divine sense, and then, as if he had discovered something, he suddenly frowned and his figure disappeared in an instant.

Ancient Immortal Island, Inner Island, Lei Hong Road.

At this time, all that remained were ruins and rubble; the original checkpoints of Leihong Road had long since become a wasteland.

Ning Fa raised his eyebrows slightly and soon arrived at the end of Lei Hong Road. Although the inheritance hall was still there, it had also completely collapsed.

Ning Fa raised his right hand and slashed again, creating a hazy spatial rift. Ning Fa stepped into it and arrived at the hidden spiritual realm of Lei Hong Road.

This is also where he and Lei Hong first met.

Ningfa quickly searched the area and found no trace of Lei Hong or Lei Ming, except for signs of intense fighting.

Ning Fa narrowed his eyes slightly and then got up to search the other areas of the inner island.

Soon, Ningfa stopped atop a mountain shaped like a tortoise, a look of surprise in his eyes, and then he uttered a few words.

Soon, two streaks of light flew out from it.

A handsome young man in a blood-red robe, and a kind-faced old man in a Taoist robe with a divination symbol.

It was Ning Daozhen and Dan Hongzi.

"You're actually here," Ningfa exclaimed in surprise.

Ning Fa let them go at Mingyuan Tianchi back then, and then there was no news of them. Could they have been hiding on the ancient immortal island all this time?

Ning Daozhen looked at Ning Fa with a complicated expression, recalling the first time he met Ning Fa. At that time, Ning Fa was still a well-known good-for-nothing in his family. He never expected that after hundreds of years, Ning Fa would become the number one cultivator in the human realm, able to turn the world upside down with a flick of his wrist.

Dan Hongzi asked respectfully, "Senior Ning, have you come to Ancient Immortal Island to eliminate those remnants of the ancient immortals?"

Ning Fa nodded: "That's exactly right."

Ning Daozhen said in a deep voice: "About three months ago, the spiritual energy of this world changed. The restrictions that bound those ancient immortals on the ancient immortal island inexplicably failed. They seemed to be summoned and broke through the boundary one after another, including the two from Lei Honglu."

Ning Fa was slightly surprised, not expecting that the restrictions binding these ancient immortals were actually related to the sealing of the human world's spiritual energy by the Yan Yue Mirror.

Since that's the case, let's leave it at that for now.

He then looked at Ning Daozhen and the other person. At this time, he was already at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, while Dan Hongzi's cultivation was slightly lower, still at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

To be honest, his relationship with Ning Daozhen was rather complicated; they were both friends and enemies, but they were more like friends.

So Ningfa still asked, "What are your plans next?"

Ning Daozhen said in a deep voice, "The Ancient Immortal Island will no longer be open. Now it has become a rare place for cultivation. We plan to cultivate here in seclusion until we reach the Nascent Soul stage, and then we will directly cross over to the Spirit Realm."

"At this point, ascension to immortality is already possible in the human realm, so why risk smuggling yourself across?" Ning Fa asked in surprise.

Upon hearing this, Dan Hongzi wore a bitter smile, while Ning Daozhen shook his head: "Both of us paid a great price for our reincarnations. Even if we advance to the Nascent Soul stage, our lifespans won't increase much. Therefore, we can't wait until we reach the late Nascent Soul stage. We must risk sneaking into the Spirit Realm to increase our lifespans by taking advantage of the richer spiritual energy there." Ning Fa was somewhat surprised. After a moment's thought, he waved his right hand, and two bottles of pills flew to them.

"This Mysterious Forbidden Pill should be of some help to your situation. I hope we will have the chance to meet again in the Spirit Realm."

Before he could finish speaking, Ning Fa's figure vanished abruptly.

Ning Daozhen held the pill, his expression complex.

……

Tianli Immortal Cultivation Realm, Sacred Temple.

Inside the main temple, there was a cold, dark coffin containing the body of a graceful and elegant woman.

She was none other than Ling Yuqing, the previous Moon Lord of Tianli.

Beside the black coffin sat a woman in a white dress with exquisite features and an ethereal beauty, sitting cross-legged on a futon.

She is Ling Yuqing's daughter, Ling Yue.

At this moment, Ling Yue seemed to sense something, opened her beautiful eyes and looked ahead. A tall and handsome figure suddenly became solid from being blurry; it was Ning Fa.

He looked at Ling Yue with a calm yet complicated expression.

Ling Yue stood up, her eyes misting over, and said softly, "Ning Fa, you've finally arrived."

Ning Fa calmly asked, "Are you now the new Moon Lord of Tianli?"

Ling Yue nodded, a hint of sorrow in her eyes.

About a year ago, Ning Fa returned as a deity, and after news of the massacre in the Great Qin spread, Ling Yuqing passed the throne to Ling Yue and died by severing her own meridians.

Ning Fa paused for a moment. Ling Yuqing had offended him too much; he could not allow her to live in the world.

She was also very clever. She committed suicide and passed the throne to Ling Yue, clearly hoping to use her relationship with Ling Yue to make him show leniency and let Tian Li off the hook.

Ling Yuezhen raised her head slightly, her eyes filled with undisguised tension as she looked at Ning Fa, for Tian Li's fate rested on Ning Fa's decision.

Ning Fa pondered for a moment, then quickly made a decision.

He looked at Ling Yue and said in an unquestionable tone: "Hand over the Holy Temple Scepter and the Qian Tian Disc, cede 40% of the territory, and all Nascent Soul cultivators in Tianli must have restrictions placed on them by the Ling Shu Pavilion. The same applies to Nascent Soul cultivators who have advanced within the last thousand years. All fourth-tier resource points within Tianli must also be taken over by Cang Yuan."

Although Ning Fa's actions did not completely wipe out Tianli, they essentially killed any possibility of Tianli's resurgence.

Ling Yue breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, her beautiful eyes filled with gratitude, and she bowed deeply to Ning Fa.

"Thank you for your mercy, Brother Ning."

When she looked up again, there was nothing in front of her.

Ling Yue's expression turned serious, and a tear rolled down her cheek.

……

One month later.

In the world of cultivation, there is the He Yan Sect.

This sect is also the sect of Zhu Yan, the Nascent Soul cultivator who once made a pact with Ning Fa.

Late at night, in a secret chamber deep within the He Yan Sect, two Nascent Soul cultivators, one tall and one fat, bowed deeply in gratitude to a silver-armored cultivator before them, their faces beaming with joy.

"Thus, I have fulfilled my promise to Fellow Daoist Zhu. Farewell."

Ning Fa smiled slightly, and his figure suddenly blurred.

In the Twilight Moon Immortal Cultivation World, on a certain secluded island.

"Nianyao, cultivate diligently. I will be waiting for you in the Spirit Realm."

As soon as he finished speaking, a blinding bolt of lightning shot into the sky and disappeared in an instant.

A beautiful woman in a purple dress stared with red and swollen eyes in the direction where the light had disappeared. Beside her, a middle-aged couple gently embraced her, their eyes filled with surprise and joy.

Six months later, in Mitian Valley.

At this time, the entrances and exits around Mitian Valley have been remodeled by Ning Fa, and only specific people can enter.

Most of the Ning family members, along with Ning Fa's wives, concubines, and relatives, have already moved to Mitian Valley.

With most of the aftermath settled, Ningfa could now ascend to the Spirit Realm with peace of mind.

Inside the valley, Cheng Susu, Ning Shaohong, Meng Ruoqi, Wei Shiqin, Yun Ying, Ouyang Qinghe, and other women all looked at Ning Fa with teary eyes.

Not far away, the Ning family members, led by Ning Zhongyuan, Ning Zhongjiu, Ning Huarong, Ning Hongye, and Ning Zonglie, were also looking at Ning Fa with reluctance.

Ning Fa looked at them with deep emotion.

He had already said many words of farewell, and now that he didn't want to add to the sorrow of parting, he smiled slightly at everyone and transformed into a beam of light, flying into the air.

There, Zhu Lingyun, Luo Feixuan, Le'er, and Lan Dian were waiting for him.

Ning Fa unleashed the Moon Mirror, which shone with golden and silver light. Countless golden and silver moon shadows flickered wildly, causing the void to tremble violently, like a boulder falling into a lake and creating huge waves. Gradually, a huge, pitch-black rift tore open in the void, shimmering with a faint blue light and radiating extremely strong spatial power, its destination unknown.

Although Ning Fa himself could ascend normally, others could not, so he had to use the Moon Derivation Mirror to activate a spatial passage and sneak into the Spirit Realm.

Ningfa glanced around again, taking one last look at the magnificent landscape.

He felt a pang of emotion, wondering if he would ever have the chance to return to the human world.

But the thought of ascending to the magnificent Spirit Realm soon filled Ningfa with a surge of heroic ambition.

He laughed heartily, "I'm off!"

Before he finished speaking, a burst of lightning erupted around him, engulfing everyone and sending them flying into the passage, where they quickly disappeared.

In the blink of an eye, the passage disappeared.

The crowd below was already blurred with tears, and the Ning family members knelt down and shouted:
"Respectfully sending off the Ancestor to his ascension!"
