Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 932 Finding a Place to Heal
Bai Muqing's face paled, and his aura became disordered.

Her delicate brows furrowed tightly, and she said to Su Rihe with a wry smile, "That person has already escaped six hundred miles away, which is beyond the maximum range of my current Spirit-Seeking Eye."

Upon hearing this, Su Rihe's face turned ashen, but he still refused to give up, saying, "Let's keep chasing in the direction you last sensed!"

At this moment, more than 600 miles away, a streak of light flashed across the sky and landed on the hillside of an inconspicuous low mountain, revealing Ning Fa's figure.

His eyes were dim, his face was pale, and he even seemed weak, clearly indicating that he was severely depleted of his vital energy.

Because he had just used the Illusionary Blood Escape technique from the Illusionary Demon Step.

This escape technique greatly increases escape speed by burning the body's essence and blood. Because of the Heavenly Rank of the Illusionary Demon Step, this Illusionary Demon Blood Escape is also the top-level blood escape technique.

Ning Fa originally intended to escape three hundred miles away and then use some means to maneuver.

He then discovered that as the distance between him and the two people behind him increased, the eerie eye above his head also became fainter.

Ning Fa immediately understood that as long as he was beyond a certain distance, the mysterious gaze's pursuit of him should disappear.

Therefore, Ning Fa simply burned his essence blood again and used the Illusionary Demon Blood Escape, escaping six hundred miles in one breath.

Until the mysterious eye above his head finally disappeared completely, and the eerie feeling of being locked on also vanished.

This relieved Ning Fachang. He didn't continue to flee, but instead planned to find a secluded place to heal his wounds first.

After all, using the Illusionary Demon Blood Escape twice in a row had severely depleted his vital essence.

It was thanks to his dual cultivation of body and magic that he was able to persevere, and because of the enhancement from his lightning body, his physical cultivation level was also very high.

Ning Fa casually found a spot on the mountainside, and with a flash of sword light, a simple cave was quickly carved out.

Ningfa plunged inside, then immediately used a boulder to block the entrance.

Then, Ningfa set up a high-level concealment formation, and only then did he feel a little relieved.

He immediately slapped his hand in front of him, and several pill bottles appeared in the air.

Ningfa poured all the pills into his mouth at once, especially the clean bottle.

One drop of special essence blood within it has now transformed into the shape of a miniature whale, which appears to be very intelligent and exudes extremely powerful blood energy.

Ningfa looked at it, his eyes flashing.

This is a drop of the heart essence of a fourth-tier Vast Ocean Thunder Whale, a top-tier body-refining spiritual item. If it were put at an auction, it would definitely fetch a price of over five million spirit stones.

This was obtained from Sun Xiong's storage ring when Ning Fa killed him in the Heavenly Melting Fire Swamp. Sun Xiong was a cultivator who practiced both physical and magical arts.

This is even more precious to him at this moment, and should be able to restore about 70-80% of the essence and blood he has consumed.

Thinking of this, Ning Fa no longer hesitated and swallowed it directly. Then he sat cross-legged and regulated his breathing with a faint blood-red light flashing around him.

And so, Ningfa, oblivious to everything else, continued to recover on this nameless hill.

Meanwhile, the war between Cangyuan and Tianli was escalating.

Despite the ten years of peace, Cang Yuan never slackened his efforts, and the front lines were well prepared.

However, Tianli's army was extremely powerful, and with the assistance of a powerful force like the Ten Thousand Bones Sect, many strongholds on the front lines faced great pressure.

In particular, several powerful cultivators were unable to come to the rescue due to other important matters, so after Huangdang Mountain fell, the other two frontline strongholds, Luohun Mountain and Qiyun Mountain, were also successively breached.

Later, the Cangyuan frontline army also began a strategic retreat, slowly gathering towards Tianyu City, clearly intending to use this fortified city to resist the enemy.

In the midst of the fierce war, the name Ningfa gradually gained prominence.

Most of the garrison at Huangdang Mountain had previously escaped and joined other garrison forces.

These people had all witnessed Ning Fa's formidable strength, so they naturally spoke of it with great enthusiasm when they met with others.

Because of the Star Ranking, the name Ning Fa is not unfamiliar to most of the high-level cultivators in Cangyuan.

However, because Ningfa had been missing for over fifty years, many people believed he had perished.

The others who heard the news were surprised to find that Ning Fa had not only returned after achieving Nascent Soul stage, but also possessed such astonishing strength.

After all, the cultivators who had previously participated in guarding Huangdang Mountain all said with certainty that although Ning Fa was only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, his strength had definitely reached the level of a great cultivator.

Although it sounds like a complete fantasy, the fact that so many Nascent Soul cultivators have said it has made others skeptical.

However, later, when the Grand Elder of the Heyi Sect, Fairy Biwu, who held considerable prestige among the high-level cultivators of Cangyuan and ranked among the top twenty on the Xuan Ranking, personally confirmed the matter, most people finally believed it and were overjoyed and excited.

In such a difficult time, the return of a strongman like Ning Fa is naturally an inspiring thing.

Especially considering Ning Fa, a powerful cultivator with extraordinary potential, who is only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, his future strength is unimaginable. It was precisely this that restored some morale to many high-level cultivators who were pessimistic about the war situation.

Some are happy, while others are sad.

In the southern part of the Wu Kingdom, there is a mountain range that stretches for 100,000 miles, called the Nanheng Mountain Range, which contains many spiritual veins.

In the center of the Nanheng Mountain Range, there are many fourth-order spiritual veins, making this mountain range a well-known cultivation ground of the Yunhuang Alliance.

Originally, this mountain range belonged to the Shenxin Sect, the strongest sect in the Yunhuang Alliance. Later, due to the war, the Yunhuang Alliance lost most of its territory, so the Shenxin Sect also gave up this Nanheng Mountain Range.

The Heavenly Sword Sect and the Harmony Sect did the same; these spiritual vein dojos were also planned and allocated by the elders' council according to battle merits.

Among them, those sects that were able to obtain spiritual vein dojos in the Nanheng Mountains were basically quite strong.

The three strongest sects in Xu Kingdom—Tianyang Sect, Juding Sect, and Feixing Sect—have now moved to the Nanheng Mountains.

The Tianyang Sect, in particular, acquired more than a dozen spiritual mountains in the core area of ​​the Nanheng Mountains, three of which were even fourth-order spiritual veins.

Although it cannot compare to what it was like in the Xu Kingdom, it is already quite good compared to other forces under the current circumstances.

After all, the Tianyang Sect not only has the top expert Tianyang Zhenjun, who is ranked on the Xuan Ranking, but also the fourth-level alchemy master Baidan Zhenjun.

Especially in the last few decades, not only has True Monarch Bai Dan advanced to the mid-Nascent Soul stage, but his alchemy skills have also taken a big step forward, advancing to the fourth-grade mid-level alchemist, and he can even barely refine some legendary fourth-grade high-level pills.

That's why even those great cultivators treated him with respect.

Even without going to the front lines to participate in the battle, Bai Dan Zhenjun could gain a great deal of military merit simply by refining pills.

As a result, many independent cultivators, as well as cultivators whose sects or families had been destroyed, came to seek refuge with the Tianyang Sect.

Therefore, the Tianyang Sect is now even stronger than before.

However, in recent days, the Tianyang Sect has been in a quiet, even subdued, atmosphere.

The disciples who remained were all very cautious, not daring to speak loudly. They hurried around the sect, their faces filled with worry, especially when passing a certain spiritual peak, they would avoid it.

This spiritual peak is called Miaodan Peak, which belongs to the Second Elder of Tianyang Sect, Baidan Zhenjun, and is currently the best spiritual peak in Tianyang Sect's spiritual veins.

This is enough to show the status of True Monarch Baidan in the Tianyang Sect. In many cases, even True Monarch Tianyang has to follow his wishes.

However, recently, True Lord Baidan has been in a very bad mood and often takes his anger out on some disciples. Many disciples have been unlucky enough to be severely punished by him, including his personal disciples.

Everyone in the Tianyang Sect knew the reason, and while they were worried, they also became even more silent, which led to the current situation.

On this day, a roar came from a pavilion with carved beams and painted rafters, green tiles and red eaves, atop Miaodan Peak.

"What does it have to do with me that your Zhou family is causing trouble for the Ning family? Did I instruct you to do that?"
If you can't produce any evidence and dare to spout nonsense again, I'll kill you right now!

Get out of here and keep your mouth shut!

Not long after, a middle-aged cultivator in a long robe hurriedly walked out of the pavilion.

This person was at the late stage of Core Formation, but his originally handsome face was now filled with panic, and his body was trembling uncontrollably.

After a long while, he let out a long sigh and flew south absentmindedly.

At that moment, an elderly man was pacing back and forth restlessly inside the building.

The old man was dressed in fine clothes, with a dragon and elephant jade belt around his waist. His index fingers were adorned with all sorts of precious spiritual rings. His face was rosy and delicate like a baby's, and his long white eyebrows drooped down.

Although he was short and stout, he exuded great power and grace in every gesture.

This old man was none other than the Hundred Pill True Monarch.

But he, who always valued cultivating his inner strength, looked irritable at this moment.

After pacing around the room a few times, he looked at the boy who was barely daring to breathe, glared at him, and shouted angrily, "Who told you to bring that person here? Remember this, you're not allowed to bring such irrelevant people in front of me again! Get out!"

The boy felt as if he had been granted a pardon, and quickly bowed deeply before leaving.

However, the irritability in Bai Dan Zhenjun's heart was still difficult to alleviate. He would take out a palm-sized jade plate from time to time to look at it. After confirming that it really had no reaction, he became even more disappointed and irritable.

Just then, a whooshing sound rang out, and a tall figure walked in.

The man was dressed in black, about forty years old, with a full forehead and a hooked nose. He had an imposing and majestic presence, and the spiritual pressure emanating from him was clearly at the peak of the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

He is none other than the Great Elder of the Tianyang Sect, Tianyang Zhenjun, and also a top expert ranked forty-third on the Xuan Ranking.

Upon seeing the arrival of True Monarch Tianyang, True Monarch Baidan breathed a sigh of relief, but complained, "Senior Brother, why did you take so long? I was waiting for you to discuss things."
