Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 852 Heavenly Treasure
However, this Sun Peak has not reappeared for nearly 10,000 years.

Later, through some clues, Fuling Hall deduced that Yaori Peak was actually sealed inside the Heavenly Melting Fire Swamp by the great divine power of the Daoist Yanyuan.

At this moment, Ning Fa suddenly looked up, his face filled with shock.

He was currently located on the mountainside of this giant mountain.

This is a huge plaza paved with ancient red stones. Further up, the mountain splits into three adjacent main peaks, each hundreds of feet apart.

The summits of the three mountains were shrouded in mist, obscuring the view.

However, one can see that above these three mountain peaks, there is a colossal red tower floating in mid-air.

This giant tower was over a hundred feet tall, with dense crimson lightning swirling around it. There were also many large cracks on its body, which were very conspicuous, making it look like it had been severely damaged.

Above the giant tower, a massive vortex, more than ten miles wide, was slowly rotating. A thick pillar of crimson fire shot out from the center of the vortex and poured into the spire of the colossal tower.

Even from such a distance, Ning Fa could easily sense the terrifying fire elemental power contained within the crimson pillar of fire emanating from that enormous vortex, and the deep, rumbling sound that made one's heart tremble could be heard from time to time.

Such a magnificent sight left Ningfa utterly shocked.

He stared intently at the crimson lightning tower, his eyes gleaming with divine light.

He could feel an extremely terrifying spiritual pressure from the tower, far exceeding any magical artifact he had ever seen before.

Compared to this, the Taiyin God-Slaying Banner in his hand was like the difference between a small stream and a vast ocean.

This is definitely a spiritual treasure, and not just any ordinary one. It is very likely the legendary... Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure!

The thought flashed through Ning Fa's mind, instantly making his mouth dry and his heart pound.

Unexpectedly, the people of Fuling Hall had been right; Daoist Yanyuan had indeed placed a Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure on Yaori Peak.

Ning Fa took a deep breath, suppressing the surging excitement in his heart, and stared intently at the cracks on the crimson lightning tower. Suddenly, a guess formed in his mind.

He roughly understood why Daoist Yanyuan had placed this Heaven-Reaching Treasure here.

Because Raita clearly has both lightning and fire attributes, and it was badly injured.

It is highly likely that Daoist Yanyuan intends to use the pure fire elemental power of the Heavenly Melting Fire Marsh and the Sun Peak to repair the tower.

That's why he tampered with the restrictions on this Fire Swamp, actually transferring the essence of fire spirit power from the Heavenly Melting Fire Swamp here to repair this treasure.

No wonder Madam Qingxia was puzzled before, feeling that the restrictions of the Heavenly Melting Fire Swamp were much weaker than she had imagined.

Thinking of this, Ning Fa couldn't help but sigh inwardly. This Daoist Yanyuan was truly generous, but it was definitely worth it for a Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure.

Ning Fa breathed a sigh of relief, then glanced at the huge plaza where he was now.

There were many damaged areas here, with traces of a battle remaining, suggesting that a fierce fight had taken place. Furthermore, there were remnants of the battle on the mountain paths leading to the three main peaks.

Ning Fa's eyes flickered slightly. It seemed that the cultivators from Fuling Palace and Leiyu Mountain had engaged in a brief battle here and then headed towards the three mountain peaks.

This made Ning Fa a little strange. Why didn't these people fly?

Suddenly, a thought struck him, and a flash of silver light appeared on his body as he prepared to take flight.

Immediately afterwards, he felt an immense force pressing down on him, and the pressure grew stronger as he flew higher.

Ning Fa flew down again, understanding in his heart that this Sun Peak also had a powerful anti-flying restriction.

It seems that the only way to approach the crimson lightning tower is through these three main peaks.

So which main peak should we choose to climb?

Ning Fa flipped his right hand and took out the identity token of the Fuling Palace again, but he still couldn't contact Murong Zhaoxue.

He frowned slightly, then carefully examined the square.

Suddenly, his expression changed. He saw a three-way intersection in front of the square, leading to the three mountain peaks.

At the edge of the leftmost fork in the road, he sensed a special spiritual energy mark, which was Murong Zhaoxue's unique spiritual energy mark.

Ning Fa's face lit up with joy, but just as he was about to go over, his expression suddenly darkened, and he pointed his right hand sharply in a certain direction, where a blinding bolt of lightning shot out.

With a loud "bang," the seemingly deserted corner suddenly rippled like water, and then a man and a woman appeared from there.

The man appeared to be around thirty years old, dressed in a light gold robe, with a cold and stern expression.

The woman was wearing a blue dress, had fair skin, and a beautiful face.

Both of them were actually at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Surrounding them was a ring that seemed to be woven from emerald green branches, enveloping them and shimmering with a hazy green glow.

Ning Fa's attack was also blocked by this green halo, which looks quite extraordinary.

At this moment, both of them looked at Ning Fa with surprise, clearly not understanding why Ning Fa was able to see through the concealment ability of their rare treasure.

Ning Fa did not continue his attack. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and glanced at the emerald green ring. This treasure was definitely no less powerful than the Taiyin God-Slaying Banner. Then, with a chilling tone, he questioned, "Who are you people? Why are you hiding here so suspiciously?"

Upon hearing this, the man looked utterly astonished.

Because Ning Fa appeared to be only at the early Nascent Soul stage, yet he dared to be so impolite to the two mid-Nascent Soul cultivators.

The beautiful woman stared intently at Ning Fa, her eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty.

Seeing that the two did not answer, Ning Fa became impatient and said in a cold tone, "If you don't answer, don't blame me for being impolite!"

The man looked utterly bewildered, then flew into a rage. How dare this mere early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator threaten them like this!
However, his companion grabbed him, and the woman, her face grave, said to Ning Fa in a deep voice:
“Fellow Daoist, we have no ill intentions and just came here by chance.”

Now that such a valuable treasure is before us, we should refrain from unnecessary fighting, especially since many cultivators have already advanced ahead of us.

As she spoke, the woman pointed with her right hand towards the crimson thunder tower above.

Ning Fa's expression softened, and he carefully examined the two of them before letting out a cold snort: "Don't choose the same mountain peak as me!"

After saying that, he sprinted towards the leftmost mountain peak at lightning speed.

Ning Fa did not choose to fight these two because he sensed that they were extremely powerful, definitely not ordinary mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, and they also seemed to possess extraordinary treasures.

Although he was confident that he could still take down the two of them, the situation here was still unclear.

Especially since there might be a fierce battle later, it is not advisable to act rashly and waste one's magical power and spiritual energy.

On the other side, the couple remained in the square.

The man said angrily, "Senior sister, why did you stop me just now? You're just a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stage, how dare you be so arrogant!"

The beautiful woman slowly shook her head: "No, you are no match for him, and even if the two of us join forces, it might be the same."

The man looked on incredulously: "How is this possible? The two of us together, plus this Qianmu Ring, are more than enough to contend with even a powerful cultivator."

At this point, he suddenly frowned and said, "Could it be that this person is hiding his cultivation level and is actually a great cultivator?"

The beautiful woman's eyes flickered as she said, "He should be at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm."

Junior brother, don't forget the Mind-Clearing Technique I cultivate. It allows me to make a general judgment about the strength of other cultivators.

Upon seeing this person, my Mind-Clearing Technique was automatically triggered.

Therefore, I could sense that this person's true strength was probably no less than that of the senior brothers and sisters in our sect who had reached the later stages of cultivation.

Therefore, this person's strength is very likely to have reached the level of a great cultivator.

Even if we joined forces, we could contend with them, but it wouldn't be worth such a risk.

The man was stunned, still unable to comprehend it, and said, "Only at the initial stage, yet his strength is comparable to a great cultivator? How is that possible?"

"How is that impossible?"
Don't forget Shen Cizhou from our sect, and the prodigies from other sects in the Great Qin Dynasty. They were all capable of fighting against great cultivators at the early Nascent Soul stage.

This person is very likely also a monstrous being.

If that's the case, then he is very likely from one of the most powerful sects in Kowloon Sea, the Taichu Sect and the Wugou Sword Sect.

However, I didn't sense a strong sword intent from him, which suggests he might be from the Primordial Beginning Sect.

The beautiful woman spoke slowly.

The man was taken aback: "Even the Primordial Beginning Sect has been alerted?"

After saying that, he hesitated slightly and said, "Previously, the Fuling Palace and Leiyu Mountain had already sent many people up, and it can be said that all the experts were sent out."

Now that we have such a prodigy, it's probably going to be difficult for the two of us to take advantage of the situation. Perhaps we should…”

Before he could finish speaking, the beautiful woman shook her head resolutely: "We can't leave!"

Don't forget, besides investigating the situation in Kowloon Sea, we have another important mission in coming to Kowloon Sea: to find clues about the Old Ancestor Zhu Yue.

Since the Moon Chasing Ancestor came to the Nine Dragons Sea tens of thousands of years ago, her last communication with the sect was a fierce battle she had with the mysterious Lord of the Fuling Hall, Daoist Yanyuan, in the Nine Dragons Sea.

Ultimately, Daoist Yanyuan was seriously injured and forced to flee, while the Ancestor was also seriously injured and needed someone from the sect to send him medicine immediately. However, the Ancestor then disappeared without a trace.

Clearly, the disappearance of the ancestor is inextricably linked to Daoist Yanyuan, and since Yaori Peak was secretly sealed by Daoist Yanyuan, perhaps clues about the ancestor can be found within it.

So we can't leave this time. Who knows if we'll be able to come back in after we leave?

Upon hearing this, the man's expression shifted slightly, then he nodded in agreement and asked, "Then which way do we go?"

The beautiful woman slowly surveyed the three mountain peaks, finally pointing to the far right, thus avoiding the peak Ning Fa had chosen.

The wooden ring in front of the two swayed slightly, and their figures disappeared as well, disappearing to the right like a gentle breeze.
