Chapter 869 The Invitation of Master Kongqing

Ning Fa remembered that there was still a group of Nascent Soul cultivators from the demon race and the sea race trapped in the Heavenly Melting Fire Swamp. Previously, the Venerable Kong Qing of the Heavenly Evolution Sect had invited him to join in the encirclement and annihilation.

The time I spent entering Yaori Peak was not long, so I should still be able to make it.

Thinking of this, Ning Fa used his escape light and flew swiftly eastward.

after one day.

On the eastern edge of the Heavenly Meltfire Marsh, crimson waves rolled, and dazzling yet extremely dangerous spiritual light of various colors spread for dozens of miles.

The figures of numerous high-level cultivators could be vaguely seen, along with various magical treasures flying about. A deafening roar echoed through the sky, indicating that many high-level cultivators were engaged in combat.

Among them, those with obvious alien characteristics are the demon beasts transformed from the demon race and the cultivators of the sea race.

The cultivators of both races were clearly at a disadvantage, fighting and retreating, while the high-level cultivators of the human race pursued them relentlessly.

After an unknown amount of time, the great battle was nearing its end. After leaving behind many corpses, the remaining members of the sea race and the demon race fled in their escape lights.

In a corner, with a scream, the nascent soul of a sea creature cultivator who was teleporting at high speed staggered out of the void under a strange white light.

Immediately, a golden net of lightning flew over and enveloped it completely.

Immediately, lightning flashed nearby, and a tall, slender figure appeared. He grabbed the sea creature's nascent soul, and with a flick of his right hand, the nascent soul vanished.

Ning Fa smiled, finally catching up with the last wave of battles between the human race and the sea race and demon race cultivators.

Including the one just now, a total of three Nascent Soul cultivators from the Sea Clan have died at his hands, one of whom was in the mid-stage and two in the early stage.

In this way, he gained another 400 Tier 3 Source Points, bringing his total to 900 Tier 3 Source Points, which exceeded his expectations.

Just then, a whooshing sound rang out, and Ningfa turned around to look.

The light receded, and the two cultivators, a man and a woman, slowly came to a stop amidst the radiant light.

They were a scholar in a long robe and a beautiful middle-aged woman with fierce eyes; they were two great cultivators from the Tianyan Sect, Master Kongqing and Madam Min.

The two glanced at the corpse of a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator from the sea race not far away, and a strange light flashed in their eyes.

Immediately, Venerable Kongqing smiled and said, "Thank you for your help, Fellow Daoist Ning. Otherwise, this battle would not have ended so smoothly."

At this moment, Madam Min, who was usually imposing and menacing, looked at Ning Fa with a warm smile, her beautiful eyes filled with undisguised curiosity.

Ning Fa smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Kong Qing is too kind. I only contributed a little bit of my own strength."

His attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, unlike the usual Nascent Soul cultivators who showed great awe when facing powerful cultivators.

Master Kongqing was not offended at all, and his smile widened. He said, "If Fellow Daoist Ning has nothing else to do, why don't you come with us to the deepest part of the Heavenly Melting Fire Swamp, the Ember Abyss Fire Cave?"

Although this place is little known, it is considered one of the most dangerous places in the Heavenly Meltfire Swamp.

Now, after being sealed for tens of thousands of years, the dangers within must be extraordinary.

However, there are also unimaginably precious spiritual objects inside the Abyss Fire Cave, including the Phoenix Flame Nirvana Fruit, and there will be a considerable number of them, and their medicinal age will be quite high.

And there should also be an even more precious Sun Fruit among them.

"If the three of us work together, we should be able to handle the dangers and reap considerable rewards. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Ning would be interested?"

Ning Fa had not yet reacted upon hearing this, but Madam Min, who was standing to the side, glanced at Venerable Kong Qing with a surprised expression, but did not say anything more.

Ning Fa raised an eyebrow, then smiled inwardly.

It seems that this Venerable Kongqing has completely regarded himself as a fellow cultivator of the same level, otherwise he wouldn't have extended such an invitation.

Ning Fa himself was well aware that after this trip to the Heavenly Meltfire Swamp, his true strength could no longer be concealed.

Kongqing Shangren had witnessed his actions twice, so he should have a certain understanding of his true strength, which is why he has such an attitude now.

For Ningfa, it was nothing of any concern.

After all, with his current strength, he no longer needs to hide his abilities as before. Revealing his strength might actually provide him with some unexpected advantages.

For example, now that Venerable Kongqing has invited him to the Ember Abyss Fire Cave, he definitely wouldn't know about this place if Venerable Kongqing hadn't made the invitation.

Ning Fa hesitated slightly, because the Blazing Sun Fruit was a precious fourth-grade high-quality spiritual fruit, which could probably enhance his Fire God Thunder Origin.

It was very attractive to him, so he was very tempted by Master Kongqing's invitation.

However, he already had other plans.

When he was guarding the red array eye and killed those sea race cultivators.

He once searched the soul of one of the sea creature cultivators and learned that about three thousand miles southeast of the Heavenly Melting Fire Swamp, there was a tungsten-iron crystal mine located on the seabed, which was controlled by the Golden Vortex tribe of the sea creatures.

This tungsten-iron crystal ore is an extremely rare fourth-order spirit ore, so the Golden Vortex Tribe attaches great importance to it and has several fourth-order sea creatures stationed there year-round.

So at that time, Ningfa set his sights on this tungsten-iron crystal ore vein.

The sea creatures' attention should still be on the Tianrong Fire Marsh, so he wants to take the opportunity to go there and plunder.

If all goes well, he could not only harvest a considerable amount of tungsten-iron crystals, but also obtain a sum of third-tier source points. Therefore, this temptation was even greater for him.

Ning Fa thought for a moment and replied, "Thank you for the invitation, Fellow Daoist Kong Qing. I am indeed very interested, but I have important matters to attend to and need to leave for three days. I wonder if you can wait for me?"

Master Kongqing did not hesitate for long and nodded, saying, "Three days is fine. My senior sister and I have also exhausted some of our energy and need to recuperate."

"Then let's wait for Fellow Daoist Ning to return, and then we'll go together."

Ning Fa chuckled, cupped his hands in greeting to the two, and then transformed into a dazzling silver streak of light, speeding off towards the east.

After Ning Fa disappeared into the horizon, Madam Min finally couldn't hold back any longer and frowned slightly, saying, "Is this Fellow Daoist Ning really that powerful?"

I think my junior brother has completely come to treat him as someone of the same level as us.

In the battle just now, Fellow Daoist Ning displayed quite impressive strength.

However, within our Five Spirit Seas, there are also several fellow cultivators at the mid-Nascent Soul stage who are capable of achieving this level.

Upon hearing this, Venerable Kongqing shook his head and said with a serious expression, "Senior Sister, this Fellow Daoist Ning's strength is far beyond your imagination."

In the battle just now, he didn't use much of his strength at all, which is why you have this idea, Senior Sister.

However, when I went to support that formation's core, I saw him make a move from afar, and the strength he displayed then was much greater than it is now.

Qi Yan, who was highly regarded by the Demon Court and was arrogant, was also killed by him cleanly and swiftly. I even suspect that he may not have used his full strength at the time.

Therefore, I deduce that although his cultivation level is only at the initial stage, his true strength should be enough to rival ours.

This is incredible. I even did some research beforehand and confirmed that this Fellow Daoist Ning had indeed only advanced to the Nascent Soul stage a few years ago, yet he possessed such strength.

In my memory, it seems that only the Demon Lord Zhuang Mingxiao could achieve this level so soon after forming his Nascent Soul.

"Hehe, who knows, this Fellow Daoist Ning might become the second Demon Lord in the future."

"Demon Lord!" Upon hearing this, Madam Min couldn't help but show a look of shock.

She never expected that her junior brother would speak so highly of Ning Fa, comparing him to the universally acknowledged unparalleled Demon Lord.

……

Meanwhile, in a lava swamp area somewhere in the Heavenly Melting Fire Swamp, a group of cultivators emerged from a hidden exit. They were none other than the Nascent Soul cultivators from the four sects of the Golden Water Swamp.

Besides Mingguang, Luofeixuan, Kuchen, and Fairy Chaolu, others included the Grand Elder Cangya Zhenjun of the Wangyue Sect, as well as the Sect Master of the Jianding Sect and other cultivators who had been trapped deep in the Tianrong Fire Swamp. Clearly, they had all escaped.

Everyone wore smiles, clearly having gained a considerable amount of wealth in the depths of the swamp.

However, it was obvious that True Monarch Cangya's face was somewhat pale, as if he had consumed a lot of vital energy.

His expression suddenly changed, and he couldn't stop coughing repeatedly.

Mingguang, who was standing next to him, was startled. He stepped forward and gently patted his back, asking with concern, "Father, are you alright?"

The other Nascent Soul cultivators also looked over.

Cangya Zhenjun waved his hand and forced a smile, saying, "I was already nearing the end of my life, and I was seriously injured by the attack of two Nascent Soul cultivators from the Sea Clan. I'm afraid my days are numbered."

But what comforts me is that not only did Fei Xuan successfully advance to the Nascent Soul stage, but Junior Brother Ning also displayed extraordinary abilities. This puts my mind at ease after I leave.”

Upon hearing this, True Lord Mingguang couldn't help but show a sorrowful expression.

At this moment, the dignified-looking Sword Cauldron Sect Master with a thick, short beard flashed his eyes and asked, "Is that Fellow Daoist Ning really that powerful?"

Upon hearing this, the other Nascent Soul cultivators from the three sects, who had never seen Ning Fa make a move before, also showed a change in expression.

The wrinkled True Monarch Kuchen solemnly said, "Fellow Daoist Ning's true strength should be even greater than we described before."

Furthermore, based on information we received from fellow Daoists of the Tianyan Sect whom we met before, Daoist Ning displayed tremendous power while guarding the array's core.

Even Qi Yan, a mid-stage transformed demon beast highly valued by the Demon Court, was directly killed.

I'm afraid his true strength is already second only to a Grand Master, and might even be comparable to a Grand Master who has just advanced.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, if I may be so bold, you are no longer a match for Fellow Daoist Ning. The title of the number one cultivator in our Golden Water Marsh should now belong to Fellow Daoist Ning."

Upon hearing this, everyone was startled, and their expressions varied.

The Nascent Soul cultivators of the Sword Cauldron Sect all frowned deeply. The dignified Sect Master of the Sword Cauldron Sect first furrowed his brows slightly, then said calmly:

"In any case, I must personally experience Fellow Daoist Ning's supernatural abilities, otherwise I will not be willing to hand over the title of the number one cultivator in Jinshui Marsh so easily."

In fact, this person was not only concerned with his own reputation, but also with the Sword Cauldron Sect.

Once Ning Fa is acknowledged as the number one cultivator in Jinshui Marsh, it is undoubtedly equivalent to acknowledging that Wangyue Sect has also become the number one sect in Jinshui Marsh.

Then the corresponding rights and interests would have to be redistributed, which he was naturally unwilling to accept.

Upon hearing this, True Monarch Kuchen smiled faintly and said no more.
