Chapter 286: Chapter 286 The Opening of World Passage!
Three days passed by in a flash.
The third Immorial Divine Weapon was finally completed and it was also augnted with 18450 traces of "Hardness" Spirit Seal.
However, when Ning Fan got out of the Yuan Yao World, he imdiately began to gather different kinds of ancient formations aside from Spirit Seals which cost him countless immortal jade in order to turn each of them into high quality formation compasses. Because of that, all his wealth was nearly expended!
Nobody knew why he needed the formation compasses. Although he did not have sufficient immortal jade to create them, he still managed to gather thousands of different types of formation diagrams.
The female corpse was following him from behind. After Lu Wan’er went out from her secluded ditation, the number of won following behind him increased to two while he was travelling around the nine divisions of the Second World to gather the formation diagrams.
Having the dragon corpse as the driver, the speed of the Golden Fla Chariot was nearly on par with the speed of a Void Refinent Realm expert!
In an instant, it could travel one hundred thousand li* and in a single day, it could move 30 million li*.
Within one year, Ning Fan had gone to every single division. Occasionally, he would take action and plunder their immortal jade. As a matter of fact, without needing him to plunder, the rulers of the demon cities where the Golden Fla Chariot went would automatically present gifts to him when they noticed that the driver of the chariot was a Half-Step Void Refinent Realm refined corpse.
As such, while Ning Fan was travelling, he was gathering formation maps and producing the formation compasses using immortal jade to perfect his third Immorial Divine Weapon.
This divine weapon could be said to be the weapon in which he spent the most effort.
On the fifth year after the battle on the Cloud Platform, Ning Fan rode on the Golden Fla Chariot to return to the Luo Yun Province because he had received a notice from Lu Daochen that the World Passage has been initiated!
Lu Wan’er was at a loss for words.
Ever since Ning Fan ended his seclusion, she had been staying together with Ning Fan for more than a year while accompanying him to travel nearly every part of the Second World.
However, the journey was too boisterous. At first, there was only the female corpse who interfered with the "wonderful thing" between the two of them. Afterwards, Ning Fan actually let all the won in his Cauldron Ring out and placed them in the Golden Fla Palace within the chariot for them to breathe so fresh air and kill their boredom.
Lu Wan’er knew that they were all Ning Fan’s female cauldrons. But she was unaware that the way Ning Fan treated his cauldrons was not strict at all. As for those cauldrons, she wondered where Ning Fan captured them from. Each and every single one of them were loyal and devoted to him so much so that they were willing to consider themselves as the female guards of the Ning Family...
Towards his enemies, Ning Fan was cold and rciless but towards his loved ones, he was not stingy at all.
Along the journey, he had also collected a lot of pills. Those of high grades were shoved into Lu Wan’er’s pouch while those of lower grades were distributed to the Harmonious Spirit Realm and Gold Core Realm cauldrons.
Moreover, there were nurous alluring won who needed to break through the bottlenecks of their cultivation pleading Ning Fan to practice dual-cultivation with them...
Due to dual-cultivating with his cauldrons, creating the formation compasses and so other reasons, there would at most be one night out of ten where Ning Fan could spend ti with Lu Wan’er.
"Isn’t your harem a little too large..." Lu Wan’er muttered, as if she was complaining.
"They’ll co in handy in the future... I have this hunch!" Ning Fan gave her a slight smile.
The higher one’s cultivation level, the deeper insights they have towards the interactions between heaven and mankind. Therefore, in lots of tis, the intuitions of higher level cultivators would always co true.
Lu Wan’er did not argue with him. She knew that Ning Fan might have a lot of won by his side, but those who really moved his heart were only a few.
Aside from that, judging by what she had seen, she could imagine how many bloodsheds that Ning Fan had gone through in order to obtain so many female cauldrons with such cultivation levels.
"If I am not by your side, they would be able to keep you company for ..." Lu Wan’er sighed. She had spent quite so ti with the female corpse now and she knew that the latter’s importance to Ning Fan was not any weaker than hers.
However, even though Ning Fan owned more than one thousand female cauldrons, there was not a single one of them who truly understood Ning Fan’s heart. The female corpse did not have high intelligence. It was difficult for her to console Ning Fan when he was worn out.
"You are unique... Besides, aren’t you leaving with ?"
The World Passage had been opened. After entering the Third World, Ning Fan should leave this place right away after fulfilling his promise.
He was willing to bring Lu Wan’er with him. However, he was reluctant to let Lu Wan’er be away from her ho only to stay inside the Cauldron Ring which was dim without natural sunlight every single day.
But if he leaves Lu Wan’er in this world, he could not feel assured that nothing would happen to her. He had killed so many people and now, all the beings in the Second World knows that Lu Wan’er was his woman. He was worried that soone might seek revenge on her...
"The current
do not have the qualifications to follow you on your journey and walk by your side. I will only beco a burden to you... I want to stay here and cultivate the spirit augntation technique. About my safety, you can be rest assured. I have the protection of my brother, master and even Elder Sister Wu Yan... As for Sister Wu Yan, do you really have ways to help her?"
"Mm..." Ning Fan did not intend to speak much. He still could not set his mind at ease in regards to the matter of Lu Wan’er’s safety.
"Let
tell you a secret. I’m sure you won’t be worried anymore... Do you know why the Spirit King Palace hopes to rope my master in?" Lu Wan’er’s large round eyes sparkled.
"Hmm? I feel strange about this too. The reputable Spirit King Palace will actually take a fancy to a Mid Divine Transformation Realm Demon General? Not only Wu Yan but also that haughty Imperial Concubine Zi seem to be extrely dreadful towards your master."
"Imperial Concubine Zi said that the Lord Spirit King has set his eyes on my master’s talents in spirit augntation. Within one hundred years, they will send soone to guide my master to the Land of Demons and grant him a ’Second Grade Star Land’. Besides, they promise that within one thousand years, they will help him attain the Life Immortal Realm by any ans necessary! Hehe. Therefore, not even the prince of the Demon World would dare to offend my master as he possesses such status... The Life Immortals in the Upper World could break free from the limitation of lifespan. There is no end to their longevity. They are beings who are also feared by the Void Fragntation Realm old monsters in the mortal world... If my master breaks through to the Life Immortal Realm, I will then ask him to help you eliminate that evil Emperor Moksha and avenge you!" Lu Wan’er spoke in a serious manner.
"Life Immortal Realm... Talents in spirit augntation..." Ning Fan’s eyes narrowed slightly. He could not understand why the Spirit King Palace would value Lu Daochen’s spirit augntation technique. However, if what Lu Wan’er said was true, it seed that she would be much safer staying by her master’s side.
Each of my enemies are all way stronger than my own cultivation level. Perhaps soday I would die because of my failure in defeating them.
Lu Daochen, however, is a popular person who is being regarded highly by the Spirit King Palace. Moreover, Lu Wan’er’s potential in spirit augntation is not weak too. Presumably, it won’t take long before her talents are spotted by the Spirit King Palace and she would also be given the opportunity to beco an immortal.
If that’s the case, having her stay by my side would in turn bury her opportunity in becoming an immortal.
Regarding the feuds that I created in the past... Once the news about Lu Daochen being recruited by the Spirit King Palace is widely publicized, even the True Spirit Races from the Upper World won’t be daring enough to touch the demons of the Luo Yun Tribe anymore.
The mbers of the Ice Owl Race would not hurt Lu Wan’er and offend Lu Daochen just for the sake of a Divine Transformation Realm junior as it would only establish a heavy enmity with the Spirit King Palace!
Let’s just take the bossy Imperial Concubine Zi for example. No one dares to lay a finger on such supercilious woman. That just proves how prestigious the Spirit King Palace is.
"Spirit King Palace... It just strengthens my will to abduct Imperial Concubine Zi and save Wu Yan. I will only let Wu Yan return to the Spirit King Palace alone this ti. As such, she won’t need to be imprisoned for ten thousand years. As for the disappearance of Imperial Concubine Zi, I must make it a mystery that can’t be solved! Then, with Lu Daochen’s protection within this Second World as well as Wu Yan’s help from the external side, Wan’er’s safety would be guaranteed. Besides, it is very likely that she would break through to the Life Immortal Realm in just hundreds or thousands of years..."
Ning Fan’s mind was flooded with thoughts. In the end, he did not persuade Lu Wan’er to leave with him.
Since she is able to peacefully cultivate under the aegis of her brother and master, there is no point in making her follow
wandering from place to place and endure hardships.
Being able to stay together with one’s family is truly a bliss...
"Family..." Ning Fan bitterly smiled. Staying together with his family was just a wishful thought to him.
It seed that he was destined to lead a busy life full of adventure.
The female corpse remained silent all this ti while sitting on a bluestone outside the Golden Fla Place doing her embroidery.
anwhile, Mu Xiaohuan was chewing on a small biscuit with her eyes open wide while looking at the pattern of the embroidery in a daze...
It was a picture of two butterflies. One of them looked ordinary, as if it were looking for a place of peace and serenity while the other one was half black and half white...
When Ning Fan noticed that pattern, a hint of nostalgia surged within his heart.
"Lu Wu, Star Palace, dicinal Garden... I wonder if there is anything that could allow the female corpse to regain a bit of her mories or recover a little of her intelligence in the Third World..."
A ray of golden light flashed past the sky above the province, moving straight to the southern part of it.
Half a month later, the Golden Fla Chariot landed on the southern region of the Luo Yun Province. It was an area that bordered with the territory of the Feng Yun Tribe called Extre Autumn Field.
The Extre Autumn Field was actually a field covered in snow. Rows of demon guards who were clad in thick marten coats and heavy armors were stationed there. As soon as they noticed the arrival of the chariot, nearly ten thousand of them had a change in their expressions. Every single one of them put down their weapons and cupped their fists.
"I am Feng Han, a Demon General from the Feng Yun Tribe1. Greetings to General Bei from the Luo Yun Tribe!"
Among the ten thousand troops, there were four hundred Nascent Soul Realm Demon Soldiers. The one leading them was an Early Divine Transformation Realm general.
The Feng Yun Tribe was ranked third among the nine divisions. In the past, the Demon Generals of that tribe used to put on airs when facing anyone from the Luo Yun Tribe.
However, ever since the battle on the Cloud Platform, the reputation of the Luo Yun Tribe was greatly increased because of Ning Fan. Besides, there were quite a number of demons who suggested to adjust the rankings of the demon tribes by making the Luo Yun Tribe as the first division, replacing the position currently held by the Pure Fla Tribe. However, their suggestions were rejected by Lu Daochen with a laugh.
In the past, the Early Divine Transformation Realm general Feng Han would never show a friendly face towards any generals of the Luo Yun Tribe.
Today, however, he felt fear that was so strong that it was suffocating since he was standing right in front of the Golden Fla Chariot.
A Half-Step Void Refinent Realm refined corpse of a black dragon?! A refined corpse at such a powerful cultivation level is just responsible for pulling the chariot?!
Feng Han was obviously afraid of the black dragon. A single collision with that creature was all it takes to send him to hell.
Without needing Ning Fan to reveal his face, Feng Han was already exceptionally respectful towards him.
The female cauldrons had long been kept by Ning Fan into his Cauldron Ring.
Now, there was only Lu Wan’er following behind him. Yes. The female corpse was also kept by him.
Ning Fan lifted the golden curtains of fire and took a look outside of the chariot. His single glance made the aura emanated by all the demon soldiers including Feng Han to shrink for a mont.
That look on his face was not fierce but it had the supre prestige of a high-level being.
Feng Han’s mind suddenly had a wrong impression that the person who was standing in front of him was not the Early Divine Transformation Realm Ning Fan but an old ancestor of a True Spirit Race with unfathomable cultivation level!
The first benefit the four drops of ancestor blood brought Ning Fan was making him give off a terrifyingly intimidating aura towards the demon race.
Feng Han cupped his fists and lowered his head, not daring to et Ning Fan’s eyes again. He then uttered with great respect, "The venerated demons from the Upper World and the Honorable Demon Generals of the nine divisions are all waiting at the western region of the Extre Autumn Field for your arrival. The ancient formation has already been completed. Everything needed for the sacrificial ceremony has been prepared. Now, the only thing left is the map pieces in your hands. After that, you can then ascend the World Passage and enter the Third World!"
"Mm. The western region, huh. You’ll drive the chariot for . Lead the way!"
Ning Fan’s words startled everyone at the scene. He wanted Feng Han to be his driver. That actually was beyond Lu Wan’er’s anticipation.
Thousands of demon guards of the Feng Yun Tribe were stunned. However, they did not regard Ning Fan’s words as a humiliation. In stark contrast, they considered it as an opportunity. Each and every one of them looked at Feng Han with a hint of admiration and envy.
As for Feng Han, his facial expression was filled with excitent. Without any hesitation, he moved one step forward, cupped his fists and agreed to Ning Fan’s request.
"Yes!"
In fact, his eyes were blazing with enthusiasm. He had never expected that he would have the honor of riding on the Golden Fla Chariot.
The Golden Fla Chariot which was pulled by a Half-Step Void Refinent Realm black dragon moved with incredibly high speed which no one could see clearly with their naked eyes. It was said that whichever demon city it arrived, no one would know when it ca nor when it went. Moreover, among the nine divisions, its unbelievable speed beca widely spread making it almost like a chariot that would only appear in fairy tales. Feng Han had been dreaming to experience a ride on the chariot to witness how fast it could actually go.
The Feng Yun Tribe mainly cultivated the elent of wind. As for Feng Han, the main attribute he cultivated was speed. Despite him being just an Early Divine Transformation Realm expert, he already possess speed equivalent to that of a Mid Divine Transformation Realm expert.
Feng Han had imagined that if he could take a ride on the Golden Fla Chariot even only once, it would certainly be very beneficial to his comprehension of speed.
Therefore, he did not think it was a sha to drive for Ning Fan but... it was an honor to do so instead!
Lu Wan’er was left speechless once more.
She did not know why her husband was able to command a Demon General from an enemy tribe like his own subordinate and make the latter take heed of his instructions without any objections.
What made her truly be at a loss for words was seeing how Feng Han was actually wearing an enthusiastic look on his face, as if he could not wait to drive the chariot for Ning Fan.
"Ning Fan, you have figured out that Feng Han wanted to take a ride on the Golden Fla Chariot in order to gain so insights at first glance, right?" Lu Wan’er’s bright eyes blinked. She was a woman of intelligence. Therefore, she instantly understood why Ning Fan would say those shocking words just now.
"I didn’t think that much... If he were to refuse, I would then have a reason to kill him and seize his treasures. Recently, I’m running out of immortal jade..."
Ning Fan shook his head and laughed. No one knew whether what he said was true or not.
If Lu Wan’er had known about his deeds in the Demon Sinister Forest, she would then find out how benevolent Ning Fan was in this Land of Slumber.
The massacres he committed were not many actually.
Well, there was no way he could have slaughtered more demons. Each of the Honorable Demon Generals were astute. Like the Earth General, in order to resolve his previous offenses, he took the initiative to give Ning Fan a large sum of compensation amounting to hundreds of millions of immortal jade as an apology. As such, regardless of how atrocious and ferocious Ning Fan was, he would find it pointless to annihilate the Lie Tu Tribe...
In the western region of the snowfield, an extensively large formation that continuously stretched to hundreds of thousands of li* of mountains could be seen in the distance.
Outside the formation stood countless demon cultivators, making them look as thick as stalks in a field of flax. There were innurable demon beasts hanging upside-down within the formation. They were the offerings prepared for establishing the formation. Aside from that, there was a massive but indistinct light portal which glowed in a dark red color suspended in midair.
The light portal was still yet to activate as the only thing that was missing was the complete map.
As a matter of fact, the nine pieces of the map had concealed a trace of Lu Wu’s qi which was the final key to unlocking the portal.
The closer they got to the portal, the closer they were to the mont where they would have to part with each other. Reluctance began to fill Lu Wan’er’s heart. Once Ning Fan enters the portal, perhaps he would not be able to go back to the Luo Yun Province in a short period of ti.
"Ning Fan..." Lu Wan’er really wanted to ask Ning Fan to stay here together with her forever. However, she knew that Ning Fan still had many important things to do.
"I’ll be back!" Ning Fan stroked her cheek and gave her a gentle smile.
A ray of golden light pierced through the horizon and flashed by in the sky. Eventually, it turned into a golden chariot and landed on the snowfield.
At the mont when the chariot arrived, all the demon cultivators present were awestruck.
"Look! The chariot is really being pulled by a Half-Step Void Refinent Realm black dragon! The rumors are true! This General Bei must never be provoked!"
"Exactly! A Half-Step Void Refinent Realm refined corpse... That corpse alone is more than enough to annihilate any of the nine tribes... Lu Bei has the refined corpse. The Luo Yun Tribe has Lu Bei. In other words, we must not offend the Luo Yun Tribe!"
Each and every one of the demons held their breaths in dread as all their eyes were fixed on the chariot. Besides, quite a number of them noticed that the person who was driving the chariot at the front was actually the general from the Feng Yun Tribe, Feng Han.
The Honorable Demon General of the Feng Yun Tribe, the Wind General made a forced smile. The mighty prestige ofGeneral Bei from the Luo Yun Tribe was more than enough to make any ordinary Divine Transformation Realm being to drive the chariot... Unfortunately, it was the good-for-nothing general from his own tribe. Seeing his own general driving the chariot for Ning Fan, he could only smile awkwardly.
Wu Yan’s eyes revealed a hint of admiration. When she saw Ning Fan and Lu Wan’er walking out from the chariot side by side, the admiration in her eyes grew, containing a trace of envy.
Will there be anyone who could accompany
to travel to the ends of the earth on a Golden Fla Chariot?
Will there be anyone who would kill six Divine Transformation Realm beings on the Cloud Platform out of anger just because I am hurt?
"He said that he will help . Will he keep his promise?"
Imperial Concubine Zi’s phoenix eyes turned gloomy. She could hardly maintain her composure after seeing a Half-Step Void Refinent Realm refined corpse of a black dragon in person.
"This kid actually has such a powerful refined corpse. Detestable... If that’s the case, I can’t easily take action against him in the Third World!"
Prince Qu Shun’s eyes brightened with interest. If there is anyone from the Demon World at the scene, they would definitely be stunned to find that the prince has actually revealed a raging battle intent against that man!
"This Lu Bei will be my formidable rival in my path of asking the Dao! He... isn’t just an ant!"
The potential that Qu Shun had been holding back was not any weaker than Ning Fan’s. Besides, if he really displays all of his hidden techniques and fight a life and death battle against Ning Fan now, he has 70% confidence in winning!
After all, he was an expert at the Peak Divine Transformation Realm. Moreover, he was one of the most outstanding beings among the experts at the sa cultivation level as him.
The most ruthless thing he had ever done was beating up a Half-Step Void Refinent Realm old monster until he was in a grievous state!
Currently, the hostility that Qu Shun had towards Ning Fan had reduced as he gradually saw the latter as a worthy foe.
A formidable opponent was a person that must be surpassed in a fair and straightforward manner. When it cos to competing with people like that, Qu Shun would definitely not use any underhanded tactics!
"Unfortunately, you have just attained the Early Divine Transformation Realm. Besides, your main cultivation power which is magic power is only at the Half Step Divine Transformation Realm. The current you won’t be able to defeat
at all... I will give you enough ti to grow and improve yourself. Soday in the future, when you reach the sa level as , I will have a fair fight with you!"
The competitive look on Qu Shun’s face gradually faded. It was then replaced by an extrely domineering look. One could only notice his lips moving without emitting any noises.
At this mont, the Divine Transformation Realm experts from the Demon World who were standing behind Qu Shun solemnly straightened up their bodies.
They had received a command from Prince Qu Shun through telepathy!
"Competing for the Star of the Celestial Emperor is our top priority. However, if you can avoid hurting Lu Bei, then do so... I have a feeling that I will et this kid again soday in the future! I want to let him stay alive until that ti and defeat him with sheer strength and power. Then, I shall use his defeat to strengthen my heart of victory which has not been broken even after one hundred battles! He is qualified enough to be my strongest adversary in my journey on the nine worlds!"
