Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 825 Heavenly Melting Fire Swamp
Ning Fa immediately felt a chilling sword intent rushing towards him, even somewhat unrestrained.

Moreover, it was extremely powerful; others might not even notice it, but he felt as if he were in the midst of a raging storm.

The opponent had clearly used a powerful sword intent, and at a very high level, unlike Lu Hanyou before.

It should be extremely close to the third level of swordsmanship, the state of "Sword Heart Without Immaculateness".

Ningfa immediately stared at the man with a blank expression.

The others were somewhat confused, but they also vaguely sensed that something was off between the two.

True Monarch Mingguang frowned slightly and transmitted his voice to Ning Fa, "Junior Brother Ning, who is this...?"

But before he could finish speaking, a sudden sound of wind and thunder rang out.

A dazzling silver lightning emanated from Ning Fa's body, his aura surged, and his eyes shone brightly like lightning, shooting out dazzling lightning that disappeared into the void.

With a loud bang, it was as if an invisible gale had swept by.

The one-eyed cultivator couldn't help but take a step back, and chaotic aftershocks of lightning still raged around him.

The man's one eye revealed a hint of horror.

In this unspoken confrontation, he was clearly defeated.

The cultivators from the other two sects were shocked to realize that the two had unknowingly exchanged blows.

Compared to the surprise mixed with delight of True Monarch Mingguang and the others, the Sword Cauldron Sect cultivators, including Su Mo, were utterly astonished.

If he could barely accept Ning Fa's decisive defeat of Lu Hanyou before, this time it was different.

This one-eyed cultivator was no ordinary person; his name was Mo Rong.

This person was originally the second Nascent Soul stage cultivator of the Sword Cauldron Sect.

However, he felt that the increase in power brought about by advancing to the mid-stage had actually affected his understanding of the sword path.

So he gouged out his left eye, reducing his cultivation level back to the early Nascent Soul stage.

He also vowed not to break through to the middle stage until he had fully comprehended the third level of sword intent.

This is why Su Mo, a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, had to call him senior brother.

Besides the fact that Su Mo broke through to a higher realm after him, it was also because Mo Rong's strength was higher than that of an average mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. At least Su Mo didn't think he could defeat this senior brother.

This senior brother Mo Rong was aloof and had few disciples in the sect who could catch his eye.

However, Lu Hanyou, the newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivator from the Sword Cauldron Sect, was an exception; for some reason, he suited his temperament very well.

When Lu Hanyou was still in the Core Formation stage, he had received guidance from Mo Rong many times. Although Mo Rong did not formally accept Lu Hanyou as his disciple, he actually regarded Lu Hanyou as half a disciple.

Therefore, Su Mo was not too surprised that Mo Rong would take action against Ning Fa, who had defeated Lu Hanyou.

To his surprise, even with his senior brother Mo Rong's strength, he suffered a loss in his covert confrontation with Ning Fa.

Doesn't this mean that Ningfa's strength might even surpass Mo Rong's?
That would also mean that he could very well surpass him, which means that Ning Fa's strength is likely to be much stronger than that of an average mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

This was truly unbelievable to Su Mo, even inconceivable.

After all, Ningfa has only been in the Nascent Soul stage for a short time, less than two years at most.

Even if he cultivates both physical and magical powers, it shouldn't be this exaggerated.

Su Mo's expression immediately became extremely solemn.

He understood that he had to reassess Ning Fa's strength, which might even affect the sect's strategy against Wangyue Sect.

The fact that the Moon Gazing Sect has gained such a powerful Nascent Soul cultivator as Ning Fa, who has just formed his Nascent Soul, poses a considerable threat to their Sword Cauldron Sect.

On the contrary, True Lord Mingguang's face was filled with barely suppressed joy.

Only then did he realize that Ning Fa's strength was far beyond his expectations. After all, he knew very well how formidable Mo Rong was, unlike Lu Hanyou from before.

When the Wangyue Sect first moved to Jinshui Marsh, his father, Cangya, had commented on many Nascent Soul cultivators from the other three sects, and he had specifically mentioned this Mo Rong.

It is said that although this person is only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, if he goes all out, Ming Guang will be forced to flee in less than ten moves.

Suppressing his surprise and shock, Mingguang used his divine sense to introduce Mo Rong's identity to Ningfa.

Ning Fa's expression was somewhat strange. He clearly sensed that his senior brother Mingguang was being overly polite and enthusiastic, even showing a slight sense of awe.

Meanwhile, Luo Feixuan, dressed in a white dress and as pretty as an orchid, looked at Ning Fa with a glint of surprise in her starry eyes.

The other Core Formation cultivators from the Wangyue Sect also looked excited, as if they were proud of their achievement.

For a moment, neither side spoke, and the atmosphere was awkwardly silent, even slightly tense.

Just then, two beams of light flew in from the distance.

Before long, a total of more than ten cultivators flew to the two sects. They were cultivators from the Tianshui Sect and the Haiyun Sect.

"Fellow Daoists, we apologize for being late."

A silvery laugh rang out, and a beautiful young woman in an apricot-yellow Taoist robe, with a languid and charming demeanor, covered her mouth and chuckled. It was none other than the Fairy of Morning Dew.

She even glanced at Ning Fa, a hint of a smile in her beautiful eyes, as if thanking him for helping her win that fourth-tier iron crystal last time.

"We've only been here a short time either," Su Mo said with a smile to the two people.

The arrival of these two sects also eased the tense atmosphere caused by the previous secret confrontation between Ningfa and Mo Rong.

Mingguang and Ningfa greeted each other, while Mingguang secretly introduced two other Nascent Soul cultivators who were somewhat unfamiliar to Ningfa.

The leader of the Haiyun Sect was a Nascent Soul cultivator named Xi Hao, a burly man in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, dressed in a red robe and with bronze-colored skin.

The other old man in gray robes, whose face was covered with deep wrinkles, was named Ku Chen and was also at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Both of them are also the Grand Elders of their respective sects.

Su Mo looked at Ku Chen with some surprise and said, "Fellow Daoist Ku Chen, I have long heard that you went into seclusion a hundred years ago in preparation for breaking through to the later stage of the realm. I did not expect that you would also be involved this time."

Ku Chen coughed, shook his head and smiled in a hoarse voice, looking like he was very old.

Ning Fa narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling that Ku Chen was definitely not as he appeared.
He could vaguely sense that the other party's magical power was exceptionally strong. Although Cangya and this old man were both at the peak of the mid-Nascent Soul stage, Ning Fa felt that Ku Chen should be more powerful than Cangya.

At this moment, Xi Hao sighed: "I don't know what exactly happened in the Falling Star Sea. The Heavenly Evolution Sect is also trying to cover it up."

However, it is certain that the journey will be extremely dangerous, and we fellow cultivators from different sects must unite as one.

Su Mo, Ming Guang, and the others all nodded.

At this moment, a strange light flashed in the eyes of the Fairy of Morning Dew, and she smiled and said, "That place is definitely dangerous, but it also holds great opportunities."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression immediately changed and they looked at her.

Su Mo seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes lit up immediately. He said, "I remember that Fairy Chaolu's elder sister seems to hold an important position in Tianque City. Could it be that Fairy Chaolu has received some news?"

Fairy Morning Dew immediately covered her mouth and giggled: "Fellow Daoist Su is indeed well-informed."

Yes, my sister did send me some news a few days ago, which was related to the Falling Star Sea.

Although not much was said, it is already certain that it is at the bottom of the Dead Spirit Abyss in the Fallen Star Sea.

This place was an important location of the Xuanhuo Sect, a powerful sect in our Nine Dragons Sea, tens of thousands of years ago, and was called Tianronghuozhe.

"Many cultivators, including those from our four sects, are trapped here." Upon hearing this, the group of Nascent Soul cultivators were immediately taken aback, clearly familiar with the Profound Fire Sect mentioned by Fairy Morning Dew.

Ning Fa was deeply shaken.

He was also familiar with the Xuanhuo Sect, and even had a deep connection with it.

He possesses the sacred stone of the Xuanhuo Sect, as well as the severely damaged Five-Flame Lamp, which was one of the three great treasures of the Xuanhuo Sect.

He never expected that the Falling Star Sea was actually related to the Xuanhuo Sect!
But what exactly is this Heavenly Molten Fire Swamp? It doesn't sound like the Xuanhuo Sect's mountain gate.

At this moment, Mingguang exclaimed in surprise, "What? It's actually the Xuanhuo Sect?"

Although Xuanhuo Tianjun was a figure from tens of thousands of years ago, I had long heard of his fame.

Back then, the Xuanhuo Sect, Cangming Sect, and Lingxu Sword Pavilion joined forces and dominated an entire area of ​​the Nine Dragons Sea.

At that time, the Ziyin Immortal Dynasty was at its peak. Seeing the power of the three sects, it took action to eliminate them.

Although the three sects were eventually destroyed, they were also severely weakened and began to decline.

As a result, it was later jointly wiped out by the Tian Shu Alliance, the Yuan Shou Ancestral Court, and the Demon Sea Alliance.

I never expected that place would be related to the Xuanhuo Sect.

Moreover, I have some recollection of this place, the Lava Swamp, it seems to be…

Mingguang didn't continue speaking, but looked deep in thought.

At this moment, Su Mo's expression suddenly changed and he said, "If I remember correctly, this Heavenly Melting Fire Swamp was formed by Xuanhuo Tianjun using his great divine power to forcibly merge three large fire elemental abysses that were close to each other. It is a high-level fire spirit secret land and can be called an excellent treasure land for fire spirit root cultivators."

Upon hearing this, Mingguang immediately nodded and said, "That's right, I also remembered."

At this moment, Haiyun Sect Leader Hao asked in confusion, "Fairy Chaolu, although this Heavenly Melting Fire Swamp may be very important to cultivators with fire spirit roots..."

"But our four sects are mostly dominated by water or metal spiritual roots, so what important opportunities could that place possibly offer us?"

Fairy Morning Dew smiled mysteriously: "【Phoenix Flame Nirvana Fruit】, have you all heard of this famous spiritual fruit?"

Upon hearing this, Xi Hao's expression changed drastically, and he blurted out, "What! It's actually the Phoenix Flame Nirvana Fruit!"
Legend has it that if one consumes this fruit, one can experience a kind of spiritual rebirth, akin to the rebirth of a phoenix.

This kind of insight has an incredible effect on breaking through a cultivator's current bottleneck, and it is very effective even for Nascent Soul cultivators.

Furthermore, the older the Phoenix Flame Nymph Fruit is, the better this enhancement effect will be.

To say nothing of the distant past, there is the sect leader of the Muyang Sect, the number one sect in the Fengyang Sea area of ​​the central Five Spirits Sea.

It is said that it was because he consumed a Phoenix Flame Nirvana Fruit that was three thousand years old that he was able to advance to the late Nascent Soul stage in one fell swoop with the help of this fruit.

He became the fourth Grand Cultivator in our Five Spirit Seas, besides the Heavenly Evolution Sect.

Upon hearing this, the other Nascent Soul cultivators were even more excited. Even True Monarch Mingguang's eyes shone brightly, and his throat tightened, clearly indicating that he was also unable to calm his excitement.

At this moment, True Monarch Kuchen coughed and said with a weathered smile, "Actually, as far as I know, Fellow Daoist Huiyang's advancement to the late Nascent Soul stage was mainly due to another opportunity. He had already stepped one foot over the threshold of becoming a Great Cultivator."

However, we cannot deny the help provided by the Phoenix Flame Nirvana Fruit; otherwise, it is very likely that Fellow Daoist Huiyang would never be able to cross that threshold in his entire life.

Especially since that Heavenly Melting Fire Swamp has been sealed for tens of thousands of years, the medicinal age of the Phoenix Flame Nirvana Fruit stored there must be incredibly high.

"If we could obtain one, it would indeed be of great benefit to us Nascent Soul cultivators in our breakthrough."

Upon hearing this, the Nascent Soul cultivators became even more excited, and they even lost their usual composure in front of their disciples.

After all, once one's cultivation reaches the Nascent Soul realm, advancing further is extremely difficult, otherwise, eight or nine out of ten Nascent Soul cultivators wouldn't be stuck at the initial stage.

So how could one not be excited upon first hearing about such a rare and precious fruit?
Ningfa was equally tempted.

Although he is different from ordinary cultivators, this spiritual fruit may not play a significant role in his breakthrough.

However, he vaguely sensed that the enlightenment he had gained, akin to the rebirth of a phoenix, should bring him tremendous benefits at the level of his soul.

Then, the group of Nascent Soul cultivators excitedly pressed Fairy Chaolu for more details.

However, the woman had a bitter smile on her face and spread her pale hands out.

"That's all I know. I estimate we'll only get more specific information once we reach Tianque City."

However, don't be too happy yet, after all, it seems that the danger in the molten swamp that day was not small.

However, it has trapped many Nascent Soul cultivators, including those from the Five Spirit Seas, the sea race, and the demon race.

The crowd nodded, but there wasn't much fear in them.

After all, which one who can become a Nascent Soul cultivator hasn't gone through countless trials and tribulations?

Upon hearing news of this treasure, even without their fellow disciples being deeply involved and the Tianyan Sect urging them, they would certainly have risked going there.

As they talked, they walked toward the main hall behind them.

Shortly afterward, a large teleportation array in the center of the main hall flashed continuously, and the cultivators from the four sects disappeared one after another.

Before long, the group arrived at Bilun Island, more than 100,000 miles away, which is also the core island of the Sun Wheel Archipelago.

Without delay, the group continued to teleport through the island's teleportation array.

Over several days, the group traveled by teleportation or short-distance flight multiple times.

With the final teleportation, after a flash of white light, Ning Fa and the others arrived in an unfamiliar, spacious hall.

Besides the teleportation array beneath their feet, there were four other teleportation arrays not far away.

Furthermore, judging from the residual magical energy fluctuations, they were clearly activated not long ago.

Ning Fa also breathed a slight sigh of relief. Along the way, they had already traveled millions of miles away from Jinshui Marsh.

We have finally arrived at Tianque City.

He was very interested in this city because he had long heard that Tianque City was one of the largest cities in the entire Kowloon Sea.

Because it had to fight against the sea race and the demon race, the city's defenses were so strong that few other cities could match them.

The Tianyan Sect has deployed numerous forces in this city, with at least one Grand Master stationed there year-round.

In addition, Tianque City can also be considered the top-tier market town in Kowloon Sea.

After all, the area near Tianque City is home to the most densely populated Spirit Abyss region in the entire Five Spirit Sea, where various high-grade Five Elements spiritual materials are produced in abundance.

If he hadn't met Su Wanwan, he would have come here to try his luck.

"Junior Gao Xu of Tianyan Sect pays respects to seniors Jin Shuize."

At this moment, a young cultivator dressed in white armor quickly walked over to the main hall, clasped his hands in a salute to the group of Nascent Soul cultivators.

"Thank you for your hard work, seniors. Please follow me."

After speaking, the man smiled and led the way, his demeanor neither humble nor arrogant, befitting a disciple of a major sect.

The group hadn't gone far when another buzzing sound came from behind them, and another teleportation array lit up with white light.

After the light dissipated, more than ten cultivators dressed in bright red robes appeared.

"Why are the Wanyu Sect people here too?" Mingguang Zhenjun frowned and whispered to Ningfa.
