Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 880 The Beauty Is Not Here
Tianyan Daoist hoped that those who would obtain it later would, in consideration of the possessions he left behind and the explanation of this earth-shattering secret, pass on his lineage.

This suicide note naturally fell into the hands of Ancestor Jue Lei.

This was of great help to Ancestor Jue Lei, and it was not simply a matter of knowing this earth-shattering secret.

Because he knew the location of the final battle in Mitian Valley, it meant that he was very likely to obtain the Xuan Tian Ling Bao (mysterious heavenly treasure) there.

This is naturally an unimaginable opportunity.

After all, if he could obtain and refine this treasure, he might be able to ascend directly to the Spirit Realm with the powerful might of the Xuan Tian Treasure.

Therefore, to express his gratitude to this Daoist Tianyan, he found a nominal disciple and eventually helped him establish the Tianyan Sect, so that the Daoist Tianyan's legacy could be passed down.

Next, Ancestor Jue Lei began to plan his entry into the Mitian Valley.

However, the entrance to that place was filled with terrifying spatial turbulence and gaps, which even he felt was extremely dangerous at the time, given his cultivation level.

Ancestor Jue Lei had been preparing for this for hundreds of years, and finally left this handwritten letter for the successor who also possessed the Five Elements Thunder Body and became the master of the Fuling Hall.

The meaning of the Thunder Ancestor was that if he failed and perished in Mitian Valley, he hoped that this successor would have a chance to try again.

The handwritten note ended there, but Ning Fa's heart was in turmoil. Only now did he realize that the great change in the primordial energy of the human realm was due to this reason.

Before he actually formed his core, he went to a mountain range called Moyang Mountain to obtain Xuanhuang Qi. He happened to meet Ning Daozhen and fought against an ancient demon with him.

Ning Daozhen had briefly mentioned this secret before, which was roughly consistent with what Ancestor Jue Lei had mentioned, but Ning Daozhen was unaware of the deeper secret.

Ning Fa now understands, and he even knows what the Xuan Tian Ling Bao is.

That is—the Mysterious Heavenly Moon Mirror.

Back in Yingyue Valley, Ning Daozhen and his group caused trouble and eventually broke through the boundary wall with the Tianli Immortal Cultivation World. In a fit of madness, that demon descendant self-destructed his Tongtian Spiritual Treasure.

In the midst of the crisis, Ning Fa was rescued by Zhuo Qing, who sent him to a peculiar place within the Moonflower Heaven Forbidden Zone, where he learned of the existence of the Profound Heaven Moon Mirror.

And this Xuan Tian Yan Yue Mirror is the legendary Xuan Tian spiritual treasure.

Of course, that place only contained a sliver of the Xuan Tian Yan Yue Mirror's projection, yet it still greatly benefited Ning Fa's Crossing Origin Heavenly Book.

Ning Fa was puzzled at first, wondering how their small human realm could be connected with such a treasure.

Now, combined with the records of Ancestor Jue Lei, it is clear that the Xuan Tian Ling Bao that was brought to their human world by the mysterious race of the spirit world is the Xuan Tian Yan Yue Jian!
Ning Fa's eyes flashed. It seemed that Ancestor Jue Lei had disappeared after going to Mitian Valley. He wondered if he had finally obtained the Xuan Tian Treasure and ascended to the Upper Realm.

Ning Fa couldn't help but become very curious about the Mitian Valley, after all, how could he not yearn for such a top-tier treasure?
But now we can only think about it, since even with the cultivation level of Ancestor Jue Lei back then, he felt that place was extremely dangerous.

It's not something he can consider right now; he should at least wait until he reaches the Nascent Soul stage before even considering it.

After a long while, Ning Fa finally suppressed his turbulent emotions and took out the spiritual treasure left behind by Ancestor Jue Lei, the "Zhou Tian Lei Yan Jing".

After a full day of exploration and initial refinement, Ningfa finally gained some familiarity with the treasure.

I also understand why Master Wuxin said that this spiritual treasure can only be used by cultivators with the Five Elements Thunder Body.

To activate this treasure, one must not only possess all five elements of divine lightning, but also master them at least to the third level.

In addition, one must open at least one Thunder Sea Divine Treasury within the body, which can only be activated by the innate divine thunder within the treasury. Therefore, it can basically only be used by cultivators with the Five Elements Thunder Body.

Ning Fa was also delighted, because although he was not yet fully familiar with the Zhou Tian Lei Yan Mirror, the few supernatural abilities he had figured out had already made him very happy.

It can be said to be both offensive and defensive, and its power is far superior to that of the Five Flame Lamp.

Now he has another magical treasure, which greatly increases his strength.

Ning Fa breathed a sigh of relief and murmured, "It's time to head to Yuheng Sea."

……

Three months later, in the Jade Balance Sea, at the Illusionary Jade Islands.

“Fellow Daoist Ning, that Jade Island ahead should be where those three fellow Daoists live.”

The three of them—one skilled in both alchemy and magic, and the other two adept at talisman making and weapon crafting—are quite renowned in our Illusionary Jade Islands. I never expected Fellow Daoist Ning to be acquainted with them.”

Two streaks of light could be seen flying through the air toward an island ahead.

Besides Ning Fa, there was also a man in his forties wearing a crane robe and exuding an air of majesty, who was clearly at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

"Many thanks to Fellow Daoist Pu for your help, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to find these three fellow Daoists so easily." Ning Fa said with a smile, expressing his gratitude to the man.

This cultivator in the crane robe was named Pu Cheng, an elder of the Illusionary Butterfly Palace. He had also gone to the Heavenly Melting Fire Swamp and thus met Ning Fa.

When Ningfa arrived at the Illusionary Jade Islands via the teleportation array, he happened to meet this person.

After learning that Ning Fa was looking for Chu Nianyao and the other two, he, being a local strongman, easily found out where the three were currently living on Qiongyu Island, and even personally brought Ning Fa there.

The reason he was so enthusiastic was quite simple.

Because he was well aware of Ning Fa's strength, and that he was even treated as an equal by several great cultivators of the Tianyan Sect, he naturally spared no effort in taking the opportunity to befriend Ning Fa.

Ning Fa was naturally happy to agree, as it saved him a lot of trouble. "Since Fellow Daoist Ning is reuniting with his old friends, then this old man will not disturb you any longer."

However, if Fellow Daoist Ning has time later, please come to my residence for a gathering. I will certainly host a banquet in your honor.

Pu Cheng smiled broadly and spoke to Ning Fa. Then, he cupped his hands in greeting to Ning Fa and transformed into a streak of light, disappearing into the distance.

Ning Fa smiled; he had a very good impression of Pucheng.

Not long after, in a pavilion on Qiongyu Island.

"What! Nianyao has already left?" Ning Fa asked in surprise.

Two other people were sitting opposite Ning Fa: a round-faced young man and a burly man in black. They were Qi Ran and Liang Song, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.

The two of them appeared to have changed little, and their cultivation levels remained at the early and middle stages of Core Formation.

The two men stared at Ning Fa, their eyes still filled with shock.

They could hardly believe it; after decades, Ning Fa had actually succeeded in forming his Nascent Soul, leaving them in a daze.

At this moment, Qi Ran gave a wry smile and said, "That's right, Fellow Daoist Ning... no, Senior Ning, you've come at an inopportune time."

About three years ago, a mysterious woman suddenly came to the door, saying that she had come to pick up Fellow Daoist Chu on the orders of his mother.

The mysterious woman then produced a keepsake from her mother, so in the end, Fellow Daoist Chu left with her.

Upon hearing this, Ning Fa was taken aback. He hadn't expected such a thing to exist. It sounded like Chu Nianyao's parents were still alive.

He first waved his hand and said, "We are old acquaintances, there's no need to be so formal as to call me senior. It's better to just call me fellow Daoist."

After saying that, he quickly asked, "Where did Nianyao go?"

Qi Ran shook his head and said, "That woman was being very mysterious, refusing to say much, and was urging me to hurry up."

Based on my and Lao Liang's assessment, it's highly likely that Fellow Daoist Chu's mother has also advanced to the Nascent Soul realm.

Because that mysterious woman possessed extremely high cultivation, having already reached the Nascent Soul stage, and addressed Fellow Daoist Chu's mother as "Master."

At this moment, Liang Song also said in a deep voice: "Before leaving, Fellow Daoist Chu was also worried that Fellow Daoist Ning would come looking for her. She said that after confirming the news of her parents, she would definitely come back to Qiongyu Island."

Therefore, Fellow Daoist Ning, you might as well leave us a means of communication. Once Fellow Daoist Chu returns, we will inform you.”

Ning Fa frowned slightly, then nodded, and with a flick of his right hand, took out a white bead about the size of a thumb, handed it to Liang Song, and said, "When the time comes, as long as Fellow Daoist Chu crushes this bead, I will know."

Liang Song nodded and accepted it. Then he and Qi Ran looked at each other, hesitant, as if they wanted to say something but were not sure how to speak.

Ning Fa raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Qi Ran coughed lightly and said, "To be honest, Fellow Daoist Ning, our Qiongyu Island has been coveted by a late-stage Core Formation cultivator."

At first, he tried to rent it from us by force but failed. Recently, he seems to have found a connection with a disciple of a Nascent Soul elder in the Illusionary Butterfly Palace.

Not long ago, that disciple gave us an ultimatum, ordering us to move out within a short period of time.

Actually, it wouldn't matter to us if we went to another place, but we're worried that Fellow Daoist Chu might not be able to find us when he comes back, so..."

Ning Fa suddenly realized, and he immediately said, "Tell me the information about that Nascent Soul Elder."

Qi Ran was overjoyed and immediately said a name.

Without saying a word, Ning Fa took out a communication talisman and explained the general situation.

Not long after, a flash of fire appeared in front of him, and another communication talisman returned.

“Fellow Daoist Ning, it’s just a small matter. And if those two young friends need it, I can make the decision. They only need to pay one million spirit stones to buy Qiongyu Island directly.”

Upon hearing this, Ning Fa couldn't help but smile slightly. Pucheng was indeed giving him a lot of face.

Although Qiongyu Island is not large, it has a third-order spiritual vein and is located in the core of the Illusionary Jade Islands in the Jade Balance Sea. Normally, it would be impossible for a mere million spirit stones to buy it.

Qi Ran and Liang Song were both surprised and delighted; they never imagined they would have the opportunity to completely buy Qiongyu Island.

Although a million spirit stones is a large sum for a Core Formation cultivator, both of them are wealthy individuals and could naturally afford to pay that amount.

At this moment, Liang Song looked at Ning Fa with some hesitation: "Fellow Daoist Ning, it would be better if we could continue to rent this place. There's no need to buy the island."

Ning Fa smiled and shook his head: "Since Fellow Daoist Pu has said so, then you should prepare these spirit stones. When the time comes, disciples from the Illusionary Butterfly Palace will come to complete the formalities. Don't worry about anything else. Besides, you also need to wait for Nian Yao to return for me."

Upon hearing this, Qi Ran and Liang Song were relieved and overjoyed.

Finally, Ning Fa chatted with Qi Ran and Liang Song for about an hour, learning about their experiences over the years, before taking his leave.

In the air, Ning Fa suppressed his worry for Chu Nianyao, looked south, and thought to himself, "It's time to go to the Jinchuan Islands."
