Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 962 Reasons and Cooperation

Ning Fa was somewhat surprised, not expecting that Ning Daozhen had discovered him from such a distance.

Moreover, he saw through his disguise at a glance, yet he still acted as if he had nothing to fear.

Ning Fa thought for a moment, then flew towards it with his own escape light.

Before long, Ning Fa also arrived at the top of the small mountain. The two stood several feet apart, looking at each other with a look of surprise in their eyes.

In Ning Fa's view, although Ning Daozhen was only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, the true essence within his body was extremely strange, giving him a faint sense of threat. Clearly, Ning Daozhen was definitely not an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator.

Ning Daozhen was even more surprised, after all, the two of them had grown up in the Ning family and had known each other since they were both at the Qi Refining stage.

He simply couldn't believe that Ningfa had grown to this level in just a hundred years.

Therefore, Ning Daozhen always suspected that Ning Fa was like him, a reincarnation of a highly skilled cultivator, and that he might even be more powerful than Ning Fa in his previous life.

"Why are you here?"

The two of them asked the same question at the same time.

Ning Daozhen looked Ning Fa up and down, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

"It is quite strange that you, now a high-ranking figure in Cangyuan, have suddenly come to Aisa City, which is behind Tianli."

Do you know that the Tianli people want to kill you right now? You've surpassed Wang Xuance on their kill list and are now number one.

If the Tianli people find out that you have suddenly appeared behind their lines, they will likely abandon the front-line battle and spare no effort to completely annihilate you.

At this point, Ning Daozhen seemed to have thought of something, and a half-smile appeared on his face.

"Let me guess the reason. For someone as important as you to come here in person, and to Aisa City no less, the answer is quite obvious."

You must be planning to break through the defensive barriers of the Wanling Mountains, right?

In this way, the beasts in the Wanling Mountains will be able to rise again, and the rear of the Tianli people will be set on fire.

"Tsk tsk, that's a really good idea."

Although Ning Daozhen revealed the purpose of his visit in one sentence, Ning Fa's expression remained unchanged.

He stood with his hands behind his back, looking calmly at Ning Daozhen, yet exuding a powerful aura, and said indifferently, "Give me a reason not to kill you."

Although he had some connection with Ning Daozhen, Ning Daozhen had now joined Tianli's side, so Ning Daozhen was now an enemy to him.

To prevent news of his trip from leaking, he would not hesitate to kill him.

Upon hearing this, Ning Daozhen raised an eyebrow and looked at Ning Fa with a sudden coldness: "What, judging from your expression, you seem to think you've got me cornered?"

After he finished speaking, a layer of blood-red flames suddenly ignited around him, his aura surged, and a powerful spiritual pressure suddenly erupted, which was definitely not comparable to that of an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator.

However, Ning Fa remained calm and said indifferently, "I will give you ten breaths."

Upon hearing this, Ning Daozhen was furious. He glared at Ning Fa with eyes that seemed to be spitting fire. Finally, he took a deep breath and said coldly, "Hmph, don't think I'm afraid of you!"

Although you are quite famous now, my strength is beyond your imagination.

"But now is not the time for us to fight. If your goal is truly to break the restrictions of the Wanling Mountains, then we can cooperate."

"Oh?"

Ning Fa looked at him with a slight change in expression, then a sudden thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately asked:

"The defensive barriers of the Wanling Mountains were breached before, prompting the Tianli Temple to seal off the entire mountain range. Was that something you and those ancient spirits were up to?"

Ning Daozhen said frankly, "That's right, that's exactly why I said we can cooperate."

Ning Fa frowned at him: "Haven't you already joined Tianli? Why are you doing this again?"

Upon hearing this, a cold glint appeared in Ning Daozhen's eyes.

"What 'seeking refuge'? It's all just pretense and pretense."

One important condition that Tianli promised us has been delayed and has not been fulfilled.

Since they are unjust, I can certainly be unjust as well.

Ning Fa looked at him thoughtfully: "So you joined forces with those ancient spirits to try to break the restrictions of the Wanling Mountains for revenge? I don't really believe that."

"Of course not."

Ning Daozhen shook his head.

At this point, a strange look suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"You Cangyuan people should know by now that the Tianli people have been busy dealing with the demonized beasts in the Wanling Mountains for the past ten years."

But what you probably don't know is that the Tianli people weren't just busy with this one thing during this period.

Ning Daozhen paused deliberately at this point.

Ning Fa said calmly, "I don't like people beating around the bush. Just say what you have to say."

Ning Daozhen frowned slightly, gave a soft snort, and continued, "The Tianli people are taking advantage of this opportunity to deal with the savage beasts of the Wanling Mountains, and at the same time, they are preparing to forge a special treasure."

This treasure is no ordinary object; it's a replica of a Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure. "What? A replica of a Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Fa's expression tightened, and he could no longer maintain his composure.

Ning Daozhen sneered: "Heh, that's just an ordinary imitation of the Tongtian Lingbao."

As far as I know, that heaven-reaching spiritual treasure is called the Nine-Part World-Suppressing Pagoda.

This treasure originally belonged to the ancient Tianli people, but it was damaged in a later great war. Therefore, the Tianli people have a complete inheritance of how to make this treasure.

The replica they've created is said to possess at least 50% of the power of the original.

Although these nine World-Suppressing Towers were not ranked highly in the previous Heavenly Treasures, they are still Heavenly Treasures after all. The power of the imitations that can reach 50% of their original power is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary treasures.

"It's no exaggeration to say that once this treasure is completed, if your Cangyuan doesn't have a treasure of the same level, you definitely won't last long."

“The Nine-Part World-Suppressing Tower… a replica possessing 50% of the power of the complete tower…” Ning Fa murmured to himself, his gaze darkening.

Although Ning Daozhen is currently on the opposing side, Ning Fa has a feeling that what he said might be true, which would be terrible news for Cang Yuan.

The Blood Dawn Banner magic weapon that Cang Yuan originally prepared is probably no match for these nine replicas of the World-Suppressing Towers.

Ning Fa immediately glared at Ning Daozhen with eyes like swords: "Then what does this treasure have to do with your attempt to break the restrictions on the Wanling Mountains?"

Ning Daozhen's lips curled up slightly: "Of course, this is very relevant, because the place where the Tianli people refined that treasure is near the Wanling Mountains."

The reason for this was that the Tianli people wanted to use the restrictive power of the ancient Five Elements Overturning Spirit Trapping Array to refine this treasure.

Our previous actions were primarily aimed at pinpointing the location where the Tianli people were forging that treasure.

Ning Fa's eyes flashed upon hearing this, and he asked in surprise, "You and those ancient spirits are after that replica of the Heavenly Treasure?"

Ning Daozhen immediately shook his head.

"No, only the Tianli people can activate that treasure. Even if we snatch it, it won't be of any use to us."

However, the Nine-Part Suppressing Pagoda is an extremely rare magical artifact capable of harnessing the full power of the Five Elements. To forge it, the most crucial material is—the innate Qi of the Five Elements.

Hearing this, Ning Fa's expression remained unchanged, but a thought suddenly struck him.

At this moment, Ning Daozhen continued, "These innate five elements are extremely rare. It is very difficult to obtain them in our lower realm. They are genuine fifth-order materials."

However, the Tianli people have a special method to refine them. Over the past ten thousand years, they have accumulated a considerable amount of innate five elements Qi, with the aim of creating replicas of these nine world-suppressing towers.

And this innate Qi of the Five Elements is our goal.

After Ning Daozhen finished speaking, Ning Fa appeared only to be moved, but his heart was in turmoil.

This is because the innate five elements are extremely important to him.

If he wants to unleash the extremely powerful Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation Sword Formation, one of the necessary conditions is that the Five Elements Swords must contain the innate Qi of the Five Elements.

Ning Fa has already met the other three conditions for using this sword formation. If he could also obtain the innate five elements Qi, he would be able to immediately cultivate this powerful sword formation technique.

Upon thinking of this, Ning Fa was immediately intrigued. Ning Daozhen, unaware of Ning Fa's thoughts, smiled and said, "Well, you should also be interested in this innate five elements of Qi, right?"
After all, you have also cultivated the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder, a supreme wood-type divine thunder. If you can obtain the innate qi of the wood attribute, it will definitely greatly enhance the power of your Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder.

Moreover, it can also disrupt the forging of this powerful treasure by the Tianli people, thus achieving two goals at once.

"Are you inviting me to cooperate?" Ning Fa suppressed the turmoil in his heart and asked with narrowed eyes.

Ning Daozhen smiled and nodded.

"Why? It seems you've already cooperated with those ancient spirits?" Ningfa asked again.

"I only cooperated with these annoying guys out of necessity, but now that you've appeared, it's naturally a better choice."

After all, we do have some connection, haha, don't forget, we're actually cousins.

If you agree to cooperate, then I can get rid of them.

Ning Daozhen said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Ning Fa's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and a murderous intent rose in his heart.

Regardless, his primary purpose in infiltrating Tianli's rear this time was to break the restrictions of the Wanling Mountains and enter the mountains to search for the Thousand Soul Grass.

Now that Ning Daozhen has discovered his identity, the risk is still considerable.

Moreover, this was only Ning Daozhen's side of the story. He wanted to capture the man directly, search his soul, and then place a restriction on him.

If what he said was true, I could have gone to that treasure-refining place to try my luck.

Ning Daozhen seemed to sense something. His smiling face suddenly furrowed, and he snorted coldly, "It seems you are really confident in your strength, huh? You actually thought of attacking me!"

"Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that innate Qi is extremely important to me, and your involvement greatly increases my chances of success, I would definitely test your strength today!"

As Ning Daozhen spoke, something appeared as he flipped his right hand.

It was a fist-sized, blood-red bead, shimmering with mysterious blood-red runes, and a terrifying spiritual pressure that seemed capable of destroying the world emanated from it.
