Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 829 Nascent Souls Gather
Ning Fa thought to himself, "Here it comes," and immediately said, "Senior Brother Xuanpo, please speak freely."

Xuanpo said in a deep voice, "Junior Brother Changning, do you know the details of the Heavenly Melting Fire Swamp?"

Xuanpo then recounted the origins of the Heavenly Melting Fire Marsh, which were consistent with what Murong Zhaoxue had said.

Finally, he continued, "The fifth-order restriction of the Heavenly Melting Fire Swamp now has thirty-six array eyes."

We speculate that the ancestor Yanyuan tampered with these array cores.

Furthermore, there should be something left behind by the ancestor hidden somewhere in the array, probably a special kind of stone tablet treasure. This item should be very important for us to find the location of Yaori Peak.

We have also prepared a special magical artifact that can detect whether there is any aura related to this object within a certain area.

However, one must enter one of the array's cores to activate it. We divided these thirty-six cores into four areas, so four people are needed to go to each one.

As far as we know, the Tianyan Sect is about to launch an operation.

Their large-scale recruitment this time was aimed at gaining complete control over these thirty-six array points, thereby achieving their goal of controlling the Heavenly Melting Fire Marsh's restrictions.

Given your current status, you can conveniently join us. Junior Brother Chang, Junior Brother Zhu, and Junior Sister Feng also happen to have nominal identities in the Five Spirit Sea.

"Then each of you four can choose one array eye in one area and go there, but it's best to choose the array eye in the center of the area."

As soon as he finished speaking, the other three cultivators, two men and one woman, stood up and gave Ning Fa a friendly smile.

Ningfa was not surprised to hear about this task.

Murong Zhaoxue had previously analyzed with him that the palace was very likely to ask him to carry out this task, which wouldn't be too troublesome.

Ning Fa nodded: "Okay, I understand."

Xuanpo flicked his right hand, and a black compass-like magic artifact and a jade slip flew to Ningfa's front.

The jade slip contains instructions on how to use this ritual implement.

Ning Fa glanced at them briefly, then put the two items into his storage ring.

Next, Xuanpo gave Ningfa a detailed introduction to the other members of the Punishment Hall, and the group chatted for a while.

At this moment, Gu Huai hesitated slightly and said, "Senior Brother Xuanpo, I heard that Thunder Prison Mountain seems to have sent quite a few people this time. This is a bit unusual. It doesn't seem to be just to help Tianyan Sect. Is there any specific news from You Palace?"

Upon hearing this, the others also changed their expressions and looked at Xuanpo.

Xuanpo's eyes also showed a hint of solemnity as he said in a deep voice, "I was just about to talk about this."

I received confirmation from the Netherworld Palace that Thunder Prison Mountain has mobilized a significant number of personnel this time, including its current mountain lord and Yan Jingchen.

These words immediately caused an uproar in the hall, and many Nascent Soul elders changed their expressions.

Hu Lie's fierce eyes flashed with fear as he exclaimed, "How could this be? I remember twenty years ago, the Palace Master personally attacked and severely injured Yan Jingchen."

How could he possibly recover completely in such a short time? And he even dares to come out again?

Ning Fa looked at Murong Zhaoxue in surprise.

This was the first time he had ever heard of the name Yan Jingchen.

Murong Zhaoxue moved her lips slightly and introduced the person to him through telepathic communication.

It turns out that Yan Jingchen is a Supreme Elder of Thunder Prison Mountain who has risen rapidly in the last hundred years and is extremely powerful.

Two Nascent Soul elders of the Fuling Hall have already died at his hands, and neither of them were ordinary elders, including the previous Lei Zi of the Punishment Hall.

Lei Zi, on whom the Punishment Hall had placed high hopes, was killed by Yan Jingchen within the time it takes to drink a cup of tea; not even his Nascent Soul could escape.

According to Murong Zhaoxue, although Yan Jingchen is also at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, he is stronger than Xuanpo and has extremely high potential.

Moreover, the cultivation method is special and extremely effective against lightning cultivators.

He has been identified by Lei Yushan as the next mountain lord, and is also a major threat to Fuling Hall.

It can be said that currently, only the Palace Master, True Lord Tianxu, can surpass him in the Fuling Palace.

Even the elders of the Fuling Hall admitted that once Yan Jingchen advanced to the late Nascent Soul stage, even the Heavenly Ruins True Monarch would likely be no match for him.

The other Nascent Soul elders reacted so strongly upon hearing that he had come again this time.

Xuanpo's eyes flashed as he said, "According to the information from our spies in Thunder Prison Mountain, it seems that because our Fuling Palace has concentrated a large amount of resources and manpower in the Five Spirit Sea for so long, it has aroused the vigilance of Thunder Prison Mountain."

They also guessed that our purpose might be related to the Heavenly Meltfire Marsh, which is why they mobilized a large number of people this time.

However, there's no need to worry too much. The Palace Master and the fellow Daoists of the Nether Palace will stop them. We just need to find the sealed Sun Peak.

Everyone nodded, but some Nascent Soul elders were still worried, clearly sensing that this mission would not be so simple.

Ning Fa couldn't help but be curious.

It sounds like Yan Jingchen's current strength is even greater than that of an average lower-level cultivator.

So, compared to him, who is stronger?

After chatting for a while, Xuanpo called Ningfa aside and gave him some private instructions.

He laughed and said, "Junior Brother Changning, you've just formed your Nascent Soul, yet you still possess such talent."

Once you've completed this task, your mission will be over. Don't risk coming with us to Sunrise Peak anymore, as the journey may be fraught with danger.

Ningfa nodded, but that wasn't what he really thought.

He definitely needs to go and see this Sunrise Peak.

If there really is a heaven-reaching spiritual treasure among them, and if there is an opportunity, he wouldn't mind showing his strength to snatch it.

After the gathering ended, Ning Fa parted ways with Murong Zhaoxue and returned to his residence in Xiuhe Lane. It was already the next morning.

Ningfa had only rested briefly at his residence when a knock came at the door.

True Lord Mingguang walked in.

Upon seeing Ning Fa, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Junior Brother Ning, you've finally arrived."

The gathering convened by the Tianyan Sect has been brought forward; it will begin in a few hours.

Let's go, let's hurry to the council hall in the city.

"I don't know what the Heavenly Evolution Sect is trying to do, they're not in a hurry to organize people to rescue people from the fire swamp."

Ning Fa's eyes flickered slightly. At this moment, he naturally knew why the Tianyan Sect had gathered so many people.

The two then got up and walked towards the center of Tianque City.

As Nascent Soul cultivators, they had the right to fly at low altitudes within the city, so it wasn't long before the two of them arrived in front of a majestic white palace, riding on their escape light.

The palace was bathed in shimmering light, its atmosphere solemn and imposing.

At the same time, numerous streaks of light flew towards this place from all around, clearly all of them Nascent Soul cultivators.

The two entered the hall and found it to be incredibly spacious, with towering white jade pillars carved with dragon patterns.

In the center of the hall were hundreds of jade chairs, each occupied by a cultivator, numbering over a hundred.

These people either possessed powerful spiritual pressure or had obscure auras; none of them seemed easy to mess with, and they were all Nascent Soul cultivators.

Even Ning Fa was somewhat dumbfounded.

To be honest, he had never seen so many Nascent Soul cultivators gathered together.

You should know that in the past, Nascent Soul stage monsters were like dragons that never appeared, and it was rare to see them on ordinary days.

I've seen so many all at once.

Indeed, one can only come into contact with cultivators of a certain level once they reach a certain level of cultivation.

Moreover, this is because the cultivation world of Jiulonghai is much stronger than that of Cangyuan.

For example, the Yunhuang Alliance, one of the four major forces in the Cangyuan cultivation world, has only seventy or eighty Nascent Soul cultivators in total.

So many Nascent Soul cultivators have been mobilized from just the Five Spirits Sea. Although some came from other seas, it's impossible for all the Nascent Soul cultivators from the Five Spirits Sea to be here. It's estimated that only the majority have arrived so far.

In addition to the number of powerful cultivators in the Five Spirits Sea, it can be said that the overall strength of the Five Spirits Sea alone is stronger than that of Cangyuan.

At this moment, Ningfa suddenly looked to one side.

A handsome, effeminate-looking cultivator with a bewitching peach blossom mark on his forehead was looking in his direction, a cryptic smile playing on his lips.

This person was none other than the Bloodlust Old Demon of the Myriad Desires Sect, who had previously clashed with Ning Fa.

Beside him, besides the beautiful female cultivator and the fat-headed male cultivator, there were three more Nascent Soul cultivators, also dressed in the robes of the Myriad Desires Sect.

Ning Fa glanced at the demon calmly, then casually shifted his gaze to the right.

His expression changed slightly.

There sat six Nascent Soul cultivators dressed in black robes, behind which were strange patterns of numerous intertwined black tentacles supporting them.

These Nascent Soul cultivators all exuded a special aura, and their spiritual fluctuations were quite different from others.

Ning Fa's eyes flickered slightly. Judging from the patterns on the backs of these cultivators, they should be cultivators from the Thousand Souls Palace in the Blood Thunder Sea.

Ning Fa immediately thought of Su Yu and that Soul Lotus, not expecting to encounter the cultivators of the Thousand Souls Palace so soon.

Moreover, there happens to be a woman among these six Thousand Souls Palace cultivators. Could she be Su Yu's master, Madam Mingluo?
At this moment, Mingguang transmitted his voice through divine sense, saying in a surprised tone, "I didn't expect the Thousand Souls Palace to send people over as well. Moreover, both sects have mobilized so many people. It seems that they really value that Phoenix Lotus Nirvana Fruit."

Ning Fa's heart skipped a beat, wondering if these two major demonic sects also knew something?

He immediately asked, "Senior Brother Mingguang, do you know the cultivators from both sects?"

“I only recognize some of them, such as the Bloodlust Demon, the Bone Fiend Evil Lord, the Blood Soul Demon, and Lady Mingluo,” Mingguang replied.

Ning Fa couldn't help but think to himself, "What a coincidence."

The woman among the Thousand Souls Palace members, with her alluring figure, long hair piled high, and face veiled in black, was indeed Lady Mingluo.

Just as Ning Fa was pondering, Ming Guang said again, "Come on, Junior Brother Ning, let's go over there."

With that, Mingguang led the way.

The two quickly sat down in two empty seats on the left, surrounded by Nascent Soul cultivators from the other three sects of Jinshui Marsh.

The others looked at the two of them, nodded in acknowledgment, and their expressions were somewhat solemn.

Although they did not yet know the purpose of the Tianyan Sect, judging from this commotion, what the Tianyan Sect wanted to do was not simple.

At this moment, Ningfa casually glanced in three directions.

Three cultivators, two men and one woman, nodded slightly to him.

These were the three fellow clansmen from the Hall of Punishments whom he had met just last night; they were carrying out the same mission as him.

The group waited a while longer, and during this time, dozens more Nascent Soul cultivators arrived.
