Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 875 Sword Soul Bead Space

Ning Fa calmed himself down, carefully put away the two jade slips, and then looked at the sword soul bead floating in the air, his eyes filled with contemplation.

He did not rush to comprehend it, but instead closed his eyes and regulated his breathing for several hours. After his soul recovered to its peak state, he put a wisp of his divine consciousness into the sword soul bead.

In that instant, Ning Fa felt a booming sound explode in his sea of ​​consciousness, and then he arrived in another strange space.

There seemed to be no sky or earth here, only a vast expanse of white.

Ningfa could see what appeared to be a small, floating island in the far distance ahead.

But he was somewhere far from that island, and between them, heavy snow was falling from the sky.

A bone-chilling cold emanated from the heavy snowfall; it was not ordinary icy cold, but rather a piercing sword intent.

These heavy snowflakes were formed from extremely fine sword energy!

Ning Fa slowly surveyed everything, a look of shock appearing in his eyes.

This Sword Soul Bead is indeed extraordinary. This space should be similar to the Moon God Technique's "Cage of the Full Moon" divine power, a special kind of soul space.

Even with Ning Fa's current spiritual power, he was unable to detect the boundaries of the Sword Soul Pearl's space, and his divine sense did not dare to delve too deeply.

The closer he got to the island, the more terrifying sword intent emanated from it, making him feel deeply threatened even with his strength.

This deeply moved Ning Fa.

This Sword Soul Bead is definitely more mysterious than he had imagined. The sword cultivator who condensed this Sword Soul Bead must have comprehended the sword intent to an extremely high level. He is very likely a Nascent Soul sword cultivator!
No wonder tracing the origin of this Sword Soul Bead requires so many source points.

Ningfa did not act rashly, but looked at his waist.

At that moment, a white rope tied him around the waist, with the other end of the rope disappearing into the air.

Ning Fa tried to move forward, and sure enough, he felt a binding force coming from the rope, making him unable to move.

Ning Fa hesitated for a moment, then flicked his finger to release a lightning ball spell, but there was no reaction in the air.

Ning Fa then unleashed other spells, even attempting to summon his magical artifacts, Blue Lightning, and Little Ice, but all of them failed.

Ning Fa wasn't too surprised, his eyes showing a thoughtful expression.

Since this Sword Soul Bead is used to help cultivators condense sword intent, it's normal that some ordinary methods cannot be used here.

It is highly likely that one must first comprehend the sword intent before one can use it as a means to move within this space.

The first hurdle is to cut the rope that is blocking his way.

Ning Fa seemed to be deep in thought.

As far as he knew, sword intent was divided into six realms: Condensing Sword Intent, Sword Soul's First Cry, Sword Heart Immaculate, Heaven and Earth as Sword, Sword Domain Expansive, Selfless and Swordless.

Ning Fa estimated that he would need to comprehend the first level of sword intent, "condensing sword intent," before he could sever this rope.

To reach the small island ahead, one needs to comprehend a higher level of sword intent in order to deal with the heavy snowfall formed by the sharp sword energy.

"Condensing the sword into intent..." Ning Fa murmured.

This is the first level of sword intent. Although it is only the initial stage of sword intent, it is still very difficult to comprehend.

It is no exaggeration to say that only one in a hundred sword cultivators can comprehend the first level of sword intent.

According to Ning Fa, the key to comprehending the essence of sword condensation lies not only in having a sword in hand, but also in having a sword in one's heart.

Before the sword tip moves, the sword energy has already condensed. The sword energy is tempered with willpower, giving formless killing intent a tangible body.

While most high-level cultivators know the key to comprehending sword intent, knowing it and being able to do it are two completely different things.

Ningfa was now completely clueless.

Just then, he suddenly sensed something and abruptly turned to look to his right.

Not far from him, a black-robed cultivator of similar stature suddenly appeared, but his face was indistinct, with only a pair of cold and ruthless eyes, and a white rope was also wrapped around his waist.

Immediately afterwards, an inexplicable aura emanated from the black-robed cultivator, and then a white, misty light sword suddenly formed in front of him.

In a flash of inspiration, the sword was unleashed in an instant.

At the same time, the rope around his waist was also cut off.

Ning Fa stared wide-eyed, not blinking.

The black-robed cultivator glanced at Ning Fa indifferently, and then his figure slowly dissipated.

Ning Fa let out a long sigh of relief, his eyes gleaming.

Before the black-robed cultivator disappeared, he received a strange message.

This black-robed cultivator is called "Sword Puppet." He can appear once every ten days to demonstrate the process of condensing sword intent.

After the tremor subsided, Ning Fa couldn't help but smile slightly.

The Sword Soul Bead uses this method to help cultivators comprehend sword intent, which is naturally much better than blindly figuring it out on their own.

Ning Fa closed his eyes and carefully recalled in his mind the process of the black-robed cultivator condensing a longsword and cutting the rope, as well as the changes in the surrounding sword energy that he felt during the process.

After an unknown amount of time, Ningfa suddenly opened his eyes.

A surge of energy appeared before him, seemingly about to condense into something, emanating a sharp and imposing aura.

But before long, the energy churned and dissipated on its own. Ning Fa's face turned pale, and a trickle of blood even escaped from the corner of his mouth. He took a deep breath, and with a thought, he disappeared directly from the Sword Soul Pearl's space.

The next moment, he returned to his quiet room, his divine light now slightly dimmed.

Having been inside the Sword Soul Pearl for only a few hours, he had already consumed nearly half of his spiritual power.

Ning Fa couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile. It seemed that comprehending sword intent was not something that could be done overnight.

But it doesn't matter. He believes that with the existence of the Sword Soul Pearl, he will be able to comprehend the sword intent sooner or later.

Ning Fa breathed a sigh of relief and spent several more hours recovering his soul.

He then took out the Formless True Source he had obtained from entering the Heavenly Melting Fire Swamp, as well as the few Blazing Sun Fruits, and began to absorb them one by one to enhance his Divine Thunder Origin.

Inside his quiet room, five-colored lightning flashed incessantly, appearing extremely mysterious.

A full day later, the strange phenomenon disappeared, and Ningfa reopened his eyes, his eyes filled with divine light, and a smile appeared on his face.

His trip to Tianrong Fire Marsh was worthwhile; aside from other gains, his Five Elements Divine Thunder skill improved significantly.

His Supreme Fire Divine Thunder and Supreme Water Divine Thunder have both been upgraded from the original mid-grade of the third rank to the high-grade of the third rank, and the Supreme Fire Divine Thunder is even not far from the peak of the third rank.

The weakest of the Earth Divine Lightning is close to the level of a high-grade third rank.

As for the Supreme Wood Divine Thunder, it had already reached the peak of the third tier. The next step would be the Innate Divine Thunder, which requires a special Innate Thunder Seed. Therefore, Ning Fa had previously exchanged for a very small amount of Wood Element True Source.

He had already reached the Supreme Gold Divine Thunder of the Innate Divine Thunder. After absorbing some Golden Phase True Source, the sea of ​​thunder within his divine treasure expanded slightly, which could be considered a minor improvement, since the grade of Supreme Gold Divine Thunder was already too high.

At this moment, Ning Fa stood up, and with a wave of his right hand, several transmission talismans that had been blocked by the cave's restrictions flew to his front.

Ning Fa glanced at them and couldn't help but shake his head and smile. These communication talismans were basically sent by Ming Guang and Cangya.

After all, he had been in seclusion for several days as soon as he returned, and the two were worried about whether they had sustained any injuries.

Moreover, these days, other Nascent Soul cultivators have frequently visited the Wangyue Sect, all drawn by his reputation. Among them are some famous Nascent Soul cultivators, whom Cangya finds difficult to refuse.

Ning Fa looked thoughtful.

He was wondering if it was still necessary for him to stay in the Wangyue Sect.

After all, if he becomes the master of the Fuling Hall, there seems to be little point in him staying in the Wangyue Sect.

However, the Fuling Hall is an underground force in the Nine Dragons Sea, and there are many things it cannot do, while the Wangyue Sect can.

In particular, the Wangyue Sect now has a very mature business network, with branches on some major islands in the Thunder Sea and the Five Spirits Sea. Expanding to other sea areas in the future will not be too difficult.

This is precisely what Ningfa values.

Ning Fa pondered for a moment and decided to have a proper talk with True Lord Cangya at the appropriate time.

Although he wouldn't directly tell Cangya that he was about to become the Lord of the Fuling Palace, he would state that he was an elder of the Fuling Palace to see how Cangya would react.

If Cangya can accept it, I can continue to stay in Wangyue Sect.

If Cangya objects, Ningfa will not force him.

With that thought in mind, Ningfa left the meditation room and flew towards the main peak.

He returned at dusk, a faint smile playing on his lips.

As he expected, even though he declared himself an elder of the Fuling Hall and that the Fuling Hall was currently facing a major calamity, the situation remained unchanged.

However, Cangya showed no intention of letting him leave; on the contrary, he earnestly requested Ningfa to stay in Wangyue Sect.

After all, Cangya has lived for a thousand years and sees things very clearly.

Ning Fa's current strength and potential will eventually make him a big shot in Kowloon Sea, so what if Ning Fa has other identities?
As long as Ning Fa can still acknowledge that he is an elder of the Wangyue Sect, that's enough.

As Ningfa approached the cave, he discovered three figures—two men and one woman—standing respectfully in front of the cave entrance.

Ning Fa couldn't help but smile; these three were his disciples.

"Greetings, Master!" Inside the cave hall, Wen Hui, Fang Han, and Zhou Qing bowed respectfully to Ning Fa.

At this moment, they could not hide their excitement and joy, and their hearts were filled with pride.

In recent days, as Ningfa's reputation has grown, his three disciples have naturally risen in status as well.

The other disciples in the sect were exceptionally enthusiastic towards the three of them, and even the senior uncles who were in the Core Formation stage treated them very well.

Some Core Formation elders even approached them privately and bestowed upon them spiritual items that were extremely precious even to Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Even Zhou Qing and Fang Han, who were nominal disciples, were no exception.

This has made them feel like they're floating on clouds these past few days.

Ning Fa glanced at them and said with a faint smile, "Not bad, your cultivation has improved a little. It seems you haven't relaxed your cultivation these days. These spiritual artifacts will be your reward."

After saying that, he flicked his finger, and a burst of light flashed in the air.

A black spear and a blue longsword appeared in front of Fang Han and Zhou Qing respectively. Judging from the spiritual light they emitted, they were both high-quality spiritual weapons.

Fang Han and Zhou Qing were both surprised and delighted. After bowing in gratitude, they each put away the spiritual artifacts in front of them and said loudly, "Thank you, Master!"

They then tactfully took their leave, as it was clear that Ning Fa wanted to speak with Wen Hui alone.
