Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 822 People from the Heavenly Evolution Sect Arrive

"Fellow Daoist Lu, you flatter me."

Ning Fa gave a faint smile.

Then he extended his right hand, which was gleaming with lightning.

With a deafening roar of thunder, the enormous hand of lightning vanished into thin air.

Lu Hanyou's dark blue flying sword had dimmed its spiritual light, clearly indicating that its spiritual power had been greatly damaged and it had suffered serious injuries.

At this point, Ningfa also gained a preliminary understanding of his own strength.

His earlier prediction was indeed correct; his current strength has indeed reached the level of a Grand Cultivator.

He defeated Lu Hanyou, who had mastered the second level of sword intent, in one move. It can be said that his strength was among the best of cultivators of the same level.

Onlookers might have thought he had been preparing for a long time and had given it his all, but in reality he was just making a casual move.

He didn't even use his natal magic weapon or supernatural powers; it was purely a suppression of magic power.

This overwhelming dominance over ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators is indeed something only a Grand Master could achieve.

The many Nascent Soul cultivators watching from a distance, apart from the Morning Dew Fairy, were all dumbfounded, even Cangya, Mingguang, and Duanming.

They had considered that this Junior Brother Ning might be even stronger than they imagined, capable of defeating Lu Hanyou, but it should have been a tough battle.

They never expected that Ning Fa would defeat his opponent so cleanly and decisively with just one move.

Lu Hanyou had already used his second level of sword intent.

This undoubtedly shows that Ning Fa's strength far exceeds their imagination and is incomparable to ordinary early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

Thinking of this, Cangya, Mingguang, and Duanming exchanged glances, all seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.

After their initial shock, the three Nascent Soul cultivators from the Sword Cauldron Sect all turned extremely pale.

Their sect originally intended to use this opportunity to give the Wangyue Sect a warning and to give their exceptionally talented junior brother Lu a chance to make a name for himself, but they never expected it to turn out this way.

If this gets out, how will their sect save face?

The withered pine master of the Haiyun Sect had a face as black as charcoal.

Not only because the Wangyue Sect has gained such a powerful Nascent Soul cultivator, but also because their sect's strength has unsurprisingly fallen behind the Wangyue Sect, making them the last among the four sects.

It was also because of the bet he had just made with the Fairy of Morning Dew.

Sure enough, a sweet laugh rang out.

"Fellow Daoist Kusong, then I'd like to thank you in advance for your fourth-tier iron crystal."

Venerable Kusong immediately looked pained, because even he would need to spend decades to refine some fourth-order iron crystals.

However, as a Nascent Soul cultivator, he could not break his promise, so he flicked his right hand and threw a black square box toward Fairy Morning Dew.

The Fairy of Morning Dew accepted it with a beaming smile, looking quite pleased with herself.

The other two Haiyun Sect cultivators beside her looked terrified, secretly glad that they had refrained from betting with her.

The old man with the goatee looked even more serious.

Their Haiyun Sect also has four Nascent Soul cultivators: two in the middle stage and two in the early stage.

Their strength was originally superior to that of the Wangyue Sect.

However, Ning Fa has now displayed such formidable strength that it is no exaggeration to say he can be considered a mid-stage Nascent Soul expert.

In that case, the strength of the Wangyue Sect would pose a great threat to their Haiyun Sect.

But then he remembered that True Monarch Cangya, a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, seemed to be nearing the end of his life.

Thinking of this, he felt secretly relieved, but some worries still lingered in his heart.

After all, Ning Fa has only just formed his Nascent Soul, yet he has already demonstrated such potential and strength. Wouldn't he be even more formidable in the future?

"Fellow Daoist Su, then this old man will thank your sect for the Golden Spirit Profound Liquid."

After his initial surprise, True Monarch Cangya smiled broadly at Su Mo.

Su Mo took a deep breath and forced a smile, "I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Ning to be a cultivator with both physical and magical cultivation and a lightning spiritual root. Junior Brother Lu's loss was not unjust."

The other Nascent Soul cultivators nodded in agreement. They had also seen this point, which was why Ning Fa was able to use brute force to overcome skill and directly break through Lu Hanyou's second layer of sword intent.

At this moment, Ning Fa and Lu Hanyou flew to the front of the group, and the way everyone looked at Ning Fa immediately changed.

Cultivating both body and spirit is much more difficult to advance, but its combat power is far superior to that of other cultivators of the same level. This is even more exaggerated than that of sword cultivators, as evidenced by the battle just now.

The fact that Ningfa also possesses the Lightning Spirit Root further demonstrates his extraordinary potential.

Lu Hanyou looked bitter and said in a muffled voice, "I'm sorry, everyone, I'd like to take my leave first."

After saying this, he left hastily without waiting for the reactions of his fellow Sword Cauldron Sect members.

Su Mo frowned slightly, but didn't say anything more, since Lu Hanyou would hardly have the face to stay any longer.

At this moment, the Fairy of Morning Dew stared intently at Ning Fa with her beautiful eyes and chuckled, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Ning, for winning this invaluable fourth-order iron crystal for me."

As she spoke, her small, fair hand picked up the black square box and shook it.

The withered pine monk standing to the side looked even darker.

Ning Fa couldn't help but chuckle, while also feeling quite puzzled.

Before this, he had sensed the woman's bet through his divine sense, but he hadn't expected her to have such confidence in him; this woman was no ordinary person. "Haha, everyone, let's go back to the hall and continue our discussion. The Golden Glow Secret Wine that our Wangyue Sect specially prepared hasn't been served yet."

At this moment, True Lord Cangya smiled with a radiant face.

Anyone could see how good the Azure Cliff True Monarch was at this moment.

The three Nascent Soul cultivators from the Sword Cauldron Sect exchanged glances, all seeing the other's helplessness. They hadn't expected that today they would end up benefiting the Moon Gazing Sect.

However, it was not appropriate to leave directly at this point, otherwise people would say that he couldn't accept defeat, so he could only fly back to the main hall.

Soon after, cheers erupted throughout Tianyue Peak.

Clearly, the disciples of the Wangyue Sect also knew the outcome of the battle, and were naturally overjoyed.

After all, the Wangyue Sect had always been the undisputed last place among the four sects, as evidenced by the previous Four Sects Grand Competitions.

Now that this newly promoted Nascent Soul Ancestor has so powerfully defeated the Nascent Soul sword cultivator of the number one sect, Sword Cauldron Sect, they are naturally filled with pride and excitement.

The ceremony continued, and after enjoying the Golden Glow Secret Wine, the Nascent Soul cultivators exchanged their cultivation experiences.

Ningfa's eyes lit up; this kind of communication was very important to him.

The other Nascent Soul cultivators were also very serious, after all, opportunities to exchange ideas with so many fellow Nascent Soul cultivators are rare.

Then everyone held a small exchange meeting.

As evening approached and the ceremony was about to end, the Nascent Soul cultivators from the other three sects got up to leave. Suddenly, everyone's expressions changed slightly as they looked towards the outside of the hall.

A moment later, a dazzling golden light appeared at the entrance of the main hall.

After the golden light slowly dissipated, a golden-armored man over nine feet tall and powerful appeared. His aura was so palpable that it seemed to emanate the powerful aura of a peak early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

Upon seeing this person appear, everyone in the hall was startled.

Su Mo, the True Monarch of the Sword Cauldron Sect, suppressed his surprise and smiled, "Fellow Daoist Lü, it's been a long time. Could it be that you've also come to attend Fellow Daoist Ning's Nascent Soul Ceremony today?"

The faces of True Monarch Cangya and the others couldn't help but show joy.

Cangya then explained to Ning Fa via telepathy: "Junior Brother Ning, this is Elder Lü Yang, the Law Enforcement Elder of the Tianyan Sect."

His master was Kong Qing Shangren, one of the four great cultivators of the Tianyan Sect, so this Fellow Daoist Lü held a high position within the Tianyan Sect.

Ning Fa suddenly realized, and couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

Although he knew that the Tianyan Sect was powerful, he was surprised to learn that it actually had four great cultivators. It was indeed extraordinary.

The man in golden armor greeted everyone in the hall one by one, then his gaze settled on Ning Fa.

A glint of gold flashed in his eyes, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and then he laughed:
"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Ning on successfully forming your Nascent Soul and becoming one of our cultivators. Moreover, the power of your blood and qi is truly extraordinary. You must be a practitioner who cultivates both the physical body and the spiritual body. That is truly rare."

Ning Fa thought to himself that this person seemed to have cultivated a special pupil technique, but he still gave a polite reply.

At this moment, Lü Yang looked at everyone again, his expression becoming serious.

"Mr. Lü has come here today on important business."

Since everyone is here, it saves me the trouble of going around to notify them one by one.

The situation in Tianque City is tense. Both the Sea Clan and the Demon Clan have accelerated the dispatch of reinforcements, making the situation in Tianque City critical. We hope that fellow Daoists from the four sects can send manpower to assist us.

After saying that, he added tactfully, "The situation is quite serious this time, so please send more people from the four sects."

Everyone in the hall was shocked and looked at each other, all sensing that something was amiss.

Su Mo tentatively asked, "Fellow Daoist Lü, could it be related to the sealed Spirit Abyss discovered in the Fallen Star Sea?"

Upon hearing this, everyone else's expressions changed.

The golden-armored man hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "Fellow Daoist Su is indeed well-informed."

However, I cannot say more about this matter; you will all find out in due time.

Alright, I need to head to the Sunwheel Islands to inform my fellow cultivators there, so I'll take my leave now. Farewell.

After saying this, Lü Yang clasped his hands in a fist salute to the crowd and then left.

As soon as Lü Yang left, the main hall fell silent, and everyone had different expressions.

Ning Fa couldn't help but wonder what was going on with the sealed Ling Yuan.

Su Mo's expression turned somewhat solemn as he said, "Judging from this, the number of people sent by our four sects cannot be too small."

After all, there are quite a few people eyeing our precious land, Jinshuize.

If we outwardly comply but inwardly defy, it might incur the displeasure of the Heavenly Evolution Sect, which would be disastrous.

The others nodded slowly.

Subsequently, the three Nascent Soul cultivators from the three sects also left in a hurry, leaving only the four Nascent Soul cultivators from the Moon Gazing Sect in the hall.

It was clear that Cangya, Mingguang, and Duanming all had somewhat solemn expressions on their faces.

At this moment, Cangya smiled at Ning Fa and said, "I also want to congratulate Junior Brother Ning on displaying his divine power, which has also made our sect famous far and wide."

Mingguang and Duanming also offered their congratulations.

Ning Fa made a few modest remarks, then asked curiously, "Senior brothers, what is the Lingyuan that Fellow Daoist Su mentioned about the Fallen Star Sea being sealed? It seems to have caused a great commotion among the three major races."

Upon hearing this, True Monarch Cangya's eyes flickered slightly, and he slowly said, "Actually, we don't know much about this matter either."
