Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 983 Sword Formation Completed
Three months later.

Previously, in that cave deep in the Wanling Mountains.

Sang Wen and the others were sitting cross-legged in the hall, cultivating.

The group glanced into the depths of the cave from time to time, their eyes filled with worry.

For the past three months, Ningfa has remained in that quiet room deep inside the cave, without ever coming out.

However, the occasional thunderous sounds terrified them.

But there has been no movement these past few days, which makes them a little worried. Could it be that Ning Fa has encountered some kind of problem in his cultivation?

Ji Lianxing's stunningly beautiful face was filled with undisguised worry.

In recent days, her master Shen Xinlan has sent messages to inquire about her several times. She felt that if she delayed any longer, Shen Xinlan might become suspicious.

Just then, a slight sound of footsteps was heard.

Everyone immediately turned around and saw Ning Fa, dressed in a black robe and with a handsome appearance, walking over with a faint smile on his face.

Everyone was both surprised and delighted.

Upon closer inspection, a look of surprise appeared in their eyes.

Although Ning Fa's cultivation level appeared unchanged at this moment, his aura had become even more profound.

Although he appeared calm, he gave the group the feeling of facing an endless, deep sea, instilling in them a sense of awe.

Clearly, Ning Fa has made considerable progress in cultivating his special supernatural abilities over the past three months, and it is no small feat.

"Fellow Daoist Ning, are you ready?" Ji Lianxing asked immediately, her expression brightening with joy.

Ning Fa nodded with a smile.

A hint of excitement couldn't help but appear in his eyes.

The Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation Sword Formation was more difficult to cultivate than he had anticipated. Fortunately, with the boost from the Five Elements Thunder Body, he finally succeeded in cultivating the sword formation to its initial stage within three months.

He only briefly tested the power of this sword formation, and he was amazed, finally realizing that the Five Qi Returning to Origin Sword Manual was not an exaggeration at all.

Ning Fa estimated that with this sword formation, his strength should already be comparable to that of a true high-level cultivator.

This naturally boosted his confidence in his previous plan.

Ning Fa suppressed the turmoil in his heart, smiled slightly at Sang Wen who was looking at him with concern, and then said, "Fellow Daoist Ji, you may begin."

Ji Lianxing took a deep breath, then lightly stood up and walked out of the cave.

Ningfa also put his hands behind his back and slowly followed.

Meanwhile, on the southwestern edge of the Qige Mountains in Tianli, there is a canyon that is hundreds of miles long and more than ten miles wide, which has been known as Black Wind Canyon since ancient times.

Because the southwestern edge of the Qige Mountains is constantly shrouded in a natural barrier called the Black Calamity Hurricane, even a Nascent Soul cultivator might not be able to escape if he is accidentally trapped inside.

However, the Black Wind Canyon was minimally affected by the Black Calamity Hurricane, making it a necessary route into the Qige Mountains.

At this moment, in a secluded place somewhere above the canyon, a cave has been carved out.

In a stone hall in the center of the cave sat two women and one man, namely Huangfu Hong, Shen Xinlan and Pei Nanshu.

The atmosphere was silent, and all three of them could not hide their anxiety.

Pei Nanshu frowned and said slowly, "Three months have passed and that kid still hasn't come. We can't keep waiting here. Otherwise, if this goes on for too long, I'm afraid Xu Yuan will become suspicious."

Although Huangfu Hong wore a mask and her expression was not visible, her phoenix eyes flashed with a cold light.

Shen Xinlan rubbed her temples with a headache and said helplessly, "That kid has already found a few Thousand Soul Grasses, but he thinks they are too young and insists on getting one that is at least five thousand years old, so he refuses to leave."

He has now ventured alone into the depths of the Wanling Mountains for over twenty days, and no one knows what his situation is.

Upon hearing this, Pei Nanshu frowned even more deeply.

Just as he was about to say something, Shen Xinlan's expression suddenly changed: "My disciple contacted me; there should be an update."

As she spoke, the woman flipped her right hand and produced a black oil lamp. The light intensified, transforming into a blurry, indistinct female face, from which a soft, alluring voice quickly emerged:
"Master, Ning Fa has returned from the depths of the Wanling Mountains, but he was attacked by more than a dozen fourth-tier savage beasts and is now seriously injured."

Therefore, we need to stay in the mountains for a while longer until he recovers somewhat before we can return.

After saying that, the illusory female face disappeared.

At this moment, the expressions of the three great cultivators suddenly changed.

Pei Nanshu said with a happy expression, "Great! In that case, we don't need to stay here and defend ourselves. We can contact the Tianli people and go deep into the Wanling Mountains to kill this kid completely."

As he spoke, he tried to get up, but Huangfu Hong reached out and pressed him down.

Her eyes flickered, and she slowly said, "Since this kid is seriously injured, wouldn't it be more than enough for the three of us to kill him?"
If that's the case, there's no need to notify the Tianli people anymore.

After all, that kid has quite a few secrets. Do you really want to share them equally with the Tianli people?

Pei Nanshu's expression shifted immediately, and he sat down again, stroking his long beard, his eyes gleaming, clearly tempted. Shen Xinlan also raised an eyebrow: "Sister Huangfu makes a lot of sense."

At this moment, Huangfu Hong looked at her and said, "The key issue now is to find out exactly how serious that kid's injury is."

Although your disciple has exceptional talent, he has only recently advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, and his strength is far inferior to Ning Fa's.

Therefore, her assessment that the injuries were too severe is very likely not Ningfa's true condition.

If Ningfa's injuries aren't too serious, then we'd better not take any risks and stick to cooperating with the Tianli people.

After all, such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is unlikely to come again, so we can't let this kid get away this time, or there will be endless trouble later.

Upon hearing this, Shen Xinlan smiled and said, "Sister, you don't need to worry about that. I'm confident I can confirm the boy's true situation. Just wait and see."

……

Meanwhile, deep within the Wanling Mountains, above a mountain peak, Ning Fa and Ji Lianxing floated in the air.

Ji Lianxing put away the black oil lamp and looked at Ning Fa with a worried expression:
“Fellow Daoist Ning, Shen Xinlan will definitely use the Spirit Possession Technique to possess my body to confirm your true situation.”

Shen Xinlan's cultivation method is special, and her spiritual senses are extremely sharp. At that time…

Although Ji Lianxing didn't finish her sentence, her meaning was already quite clear.

Ning Fa smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm confident in doing this. Fellow Daoist Ji, just do what we agreed on."

With that, he turned and flew downwards, quickly returning to the quiet room deep inside the cave.

Ningfa sat cross-legged and then focused his consciousness into his sea of ​​consciousness.

The Moon Goddess's Heart was still floating quietly, but the white flames on its surface had increased considerably compared to before. However, it seemed to be suppressed by an invisible force, and the burning intensity was not excessive.

As Ning Fa thought for a moment, the invisible force that had been binding these white illusory flames was released by most of it, and the white illusory flames on the surface of the silver moon suddenly intensified.

At this moment, a layer of white flames also shone around Ning Fa's body, causing him to show a ferocious and painful expression.

After a long while, the white flames around him slowly faded away. At this time, Ning Fa's face was ashen, and his spiritual energy had greatly weakened.

But his eyes remained calm, and as he turned his right hand, a special black ball of energy appeared—the demonic energy that Zhuo Qing had given him.

With a slight sway, wisps of demonic energy began to attach to Ning Fa as if they possessed a spirit, and soon his body was surrounded by billowing demonic energy.

Combined with his current weakened state, anyone would look at him as if he were seriously injured, and clearly by a demon from the Wanling Mountains.

Ningfa checked himself over and nodded in satisfaction. Then he sat cross-legged and waited quietly.

About an hour later, first came the sound of light footsteps, then Ji Lianxing's soft voice came from outside the quiet room: "Fellow Daoist Ning, are you available now?"

"Didn't I tell you not to bother me lately?" Ningfa said impatiently.

"Fellow Daoist, please calm down. I have prepared a secret elixir of demonic essence for you from our Wushi Demon Palace, which should greatly benefit your injuries."

As Ji Lianxing spoke from outside the room, she took out a transparent bottle containing a bluish-black liquid. Although the cap was not yet open, a refreshing fragrance wafted out.

Then, with a creak, the door to the quiet room opened.

Ji Lianxing immediately looked at Ning Fa, who was sitting upright in the room. Although her expression was normal, a strange light flashed in her eyes as she looked at Ning Fa, who was pale and weak.

"Thank you," Ning Fa said, only uttering that one sentence.

Then the bottle in Ji Lianxing's hand flew away, and the door to the quiet room closed.

Ji Lianxing stood outside the door, paused briefly, and then walked back as if nothing had happened, with a slight smile playing on her lips.

Meanwhile, Ning Fa's breathing was rapidly recovering, his complexion was gradually improving, and a smile was also appearing on his lips.

Although he was smiling, his eyes were filled with icy killing intent.

After he learned that Huangfu Hong, Shen Xinlan, and Pei Nanshu were plotting against him.

Ning Fa's original plan was to find a way to return to Cangyuan first, and then take revenge after he advanced to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

However, once Ning Fa obtained the innate Five Elements Qi, he changed his plans.

Because once he can master the Five Elements Heavenly Sword Formation, with the assistance of Baili Ming, Hei Yu, Lan Dian, and Xiao Bing, he will be able to achieve his goal.

Although it's far from enough to wipe out Huangfu Hong and the other two, as well as those high-level Tianli cultivators, there's still a good chance of killing just Huangfu Hong, Shen Xinlan, and Pei Nanshu.

After all, once he reaches Cangyuan, it will be much more difficult for him to kill these three people.

After all, they all have powerful backers, especially the Wushi Demon Palace, which is not only the number one sect in Cangyuan, but also has the number one ranked Xuan Ranking member, Old Ghost Mo.

Ning Fa even felt that Xu Yuan Jushi might stop him from killing these three people.

After all, every great cultivator is extremely precious to Cangyuan now.

Judging from the way Xu Yuan Jushi acts only from Cang Yuan's perspective, he should try his best to save the lives of these three people.
