Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 1016 Lu Caifu's Purpose
Even a brilliant and talented figure like Ancestor Jue Lei could only go to Mitian Valley with a do-or-die attitude, only to die tragically there.

What secret does the Mingyuan Heavenly Pool hold that can withstand the power of the Xuan Tian Spiritual Treasure and help cultivators ascend to the upper realm?
Ning Fa initially thought it was impossible, but considering the message left by the Ice Phoenix Clan's ancestor, Ice Chen, he realized it wasn't entirely impossible.

This Abyss Heavenly Pool is suspected to have been dropped into their human realm after a battle between two true spirits.

The remnants of this terrifying being might actually have a way to counteract the power of that Xuan Tian spiritual treasure.

After all, judging from the message left by Ancestor Jue Lei, that Xuan Tian spiritual treasure was not complete.

Lu Caifu saw Ning Fa's shocked expression but didn't think it was abnormal, since she had reacted the same way when she first heard the news.

But she didn't know that Ningfa had much more detailed information than she did.

At this point, a strange look appeared on Lu Caifu's pretty face.

"However, it seems that Senior Tianyi is not the only one who has obtained such a special divination regarding the Mingyuan Tianchi."

It seems that the high-level demon races in the Cloud Broken Mountains also noticed this, otherwise Yuan Ming, the ancestor of the Three-Eyed Heavenly Ape Clan, would not have personally come out and brought so many high-level transformed demon races with him.

I even feel that the Nascent Soul cultivator Kailandil from the sea race may not have come to Cangyuan simply to hunt down Fellow Daoist Ning. The real reason is probably because of this Abyss Heavenly Pool.

I have a feeling that other powerful forces in the cultivation world will likely send people this time as well.

Ning Fa was genuinely surprised.

What Lu Caifu said next surprised him even more.

The woman looked at him and smiled slightly: "I have been interested in the Nine Dragons Sea for a long time, especially the Fuling Palace within it."

Throughout its long history, the Fuling Palace has produced many brilliant and talented individuals, such as the recent Daoist Yanyuan, who almost single-handedly destroyed the powerful Ziyin Immortal Dynasty.

I never expected to actually meet the current head of the Fuling Palace. I am truly fortunate.

Especially Fellow Daoist Ning, who, like the founding patriarch of the Fuling Palace, Ancestor Jue Lei, possesses the extremely rare Five Elements Thunder Body.

Upon hearing this, Ning Fa could no longer remain calm, his pupils shrinking as he stared at the woman.

As he had predicted, the woman already knew his identity and even confirmed that he possessed the Five Elements Thunder Body.

But Ningfa quickly regained his composure.

This day will come sooner or later.

After all, if he wants to break through to a higher realm, he has to compete and fight, which inevitably leads to the exposure of his strength and thus attracts the attention of these top forces, who will then discover his secrets.

Fortunately, this day did not come too early. With his current strength, he was confident that he could hold his own even against a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Judging from Lu Caifu's attitude, this woman doesn't seem to have any ill intentions, but she definitely has ulterior motives.

Lu Caifu carefully observed Ning Fa, and seeing that he quickly regained his composure, a hint of admiration appeared in her beautiful eyes. She then said:

“Fellow Daoist Ning, there’s no need to worry too much. Actually, the reason I came to discuss this with you is largely because of your current status as the Palace Master of the Fuling Palace, and your potential to possess the Five Elements Thunder Body.”

Ning Fa thought to himself, "The main point is here." He immediately said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Lu, there's no need to keep us in suspense. Just say what you have to say."

Lu Caifu smiled and said, "Let me be clear: our Qian Yuan Business Alliance wants to cooperate with you."

Even when you return to Kowloon Sea and take charge of the Fuling Palace, our Qian Yuan Merchant Alliance can provide you with a lot of assistance to help the Fuling Palace, which has suffered a great loss of strength, to develop.

Of course, this aid isn't free; we hope that Fellow Daoist Ning and the Fuling Hall can do something for us when necessary.

Upon hearing this, Ning Fa raised an eyebrow and looked at the woman.

A thought flashed through his mind, and considering the actions of Great Qin and Tianwu in the Nine Dragons Sea, he frowned and said:

"You mean you want to develop our Fuling Palace into a vassal force of your Qianyuan Merchant Alliance, so that we can fight against the Tianshu Alliance in the future?"

Lu Caifu smiled approvingly: "It's really less effort to talk to smart people."

That's right, Fellow Daoist Ning can understand it that way.

Of course, I prefer to call it a cooperative relationship, as I believe it's a win-win situation.

After all, Yan Jingchen of Leiyu Mountain has risen to prominence, and his status in the Tian Shu Alliance will only increase in the future. Given the irreconcilable relationship between your two major forces, he certainly won't let your Fuling Palace go.

And we don't want Kowloon Sea to have only one voice, so we don't want established underground forces like the Fuling Hall to disappear.

Ning Fa couldn't help but laugh as he listened.

The Qin Dynasty truly hasn't given up on its desire to destroy the Nine Dragon Sea.

He already knew that the reason why the powerful Ziyin Immortal Dynasty collapsed so quickly was largely due to the efforts of the two major cultivation worlds, Daqin and Tianwu, who provided substantial financial support to forces such as the Tianshu Alliance.

Now they're actually giving funding to underground forces like the Fuling Palace, trying to cause trouble for the Tian Shu Alliance.

The core objective is to prevent the emergence of a unified power in Kowloon.

It seems the powerful Ziyin Immortal Dynasty previously put considerable pressure on Great Qin and Tianwu, hence their fear of another Ziyin Immortal Dynasty emerging. Thinking of this, Ning Fa couldn't help but laugh, "Did you also provide financial assistance to the Yuan Shou Ancestral Court and the Demon Sea Alliance?"

Lu Caifu naturally understood Ning Fa's meaning, and she chuckled and said, "Fellow Daoist Ning is indeed very clever, that's true."

However, the funding we plan to provide to your temple this time will exceed the level we would normally give them, which is mostly because of Fellow Daoist Ning.

To be honest, neither our Great Qin nor Tianwu wants the Nine Dragons Sea to see another Ziyin Immortal Dynasty.

The power that such a powerful immortal dynasty, which integrates the forces of a great cultivation world, can unleash is truly terrifying.

But actually, there is an even more important reason for us, Qian Yuan Business Alliance, which is that we want to do business.

After all, we started out as merchants, but the Tian Shu Alliance is keeping a close watch on our Qian Yuan Merchant Alliance, making it difficult for our forces to enter.

Furthermore, there are many resources in Kowloon that we urgently need, so we cannot give them up.

"If Fellow Daoist Ning is interested, then after the matter of the Abyss Heavenly Pool is resolved, we can discuss the details of the treaty. What do you think?"

After speaking, Lu Caifu stared intently at Ning Fa with her beautiful eyes.

Ning, on the other hand, looked thoughtful.

In reality, cooperating with the Qian Yuan Merchant Alliance is tantamount to becoming an inside agent in the Nine Dragons Sea. This doesn't really matter to Ning Fa, since he's not considered a cultivator from the Nine Dragons Sea, but he can't do it.

Because in reality, the Fuling Hall and the Tianyan Sect are one entity, one openly and one covertly.

If he agrees to cooperate with the Qian Yuan Merchant Alliance, I'm afraid the Tianyan Sect will be the first to not let him go.

Although the Tianyan Sect has always been independent and unruly within the Tianshu Alliance, it has always been ready to stand up to external enemies and hates internal strife even more than the Taichu Sect and the Wugou Sword Sect.

This external enemy does not only refer to alien races such as sea creatures and demons, but also includes other forces outside of the Nine Dragons Sea.

Moreover, Ning Fa did not want to become a subordinate force of other powers, not even the powerful Qian Yuan Business Alliance, so he could not easily agree.

But he couldn't just refuse, since the Supreme Elder of the Qian Yuan Business Alliance was right there.

Ning Fa pretended to think for a moment, then slowly said, "This matter is indeed quite relevant. I need some time to consider it, and I haven't been back to Kowloon Sea for a long time, so I don't know what the situation is like there."

Lu Caifu was unaware of Ning Fa's thoughts, but she appeared very confident and chuckled, "I believe Fellow Daoist Ning will make a wise choice."

The banquet ended, but the revelry in Zhenyou City did not.

Having waited in despair for so long, the Cangyuan cultivators were overjoyed to finally have their savior.

Therefore, the Cangyuan leadership took the opportunity to hold a celebration, allowing the Cangyuan people to vent their joy and express their gratitude to the cultivators from the Great Qin who came to their aid.

Furthermore, the Venerable Master Xuyuan subtly hinted that Venerable Lingjun, a Nascent Soul cultivator, would step in to coordinate the war between Cangyuan and the other parties, and at least be able to reclaim some of the occupied territories. This made the cultivators participating in the celebration even more excited.

Meanwhile, Ning Fa met Ji Lianxing at his residence.

"Ning Lang, I have followed you without hesitation, so you can't abandon me after taking advantage of me, okay?"

The alluring Ji Lianxing spoke tenderly to Ning Fa, then walked towards him step by step, her dress slowly slipping down with each step.

Ningfa stroked her fair, smooth face with his right hand and smiled, "This will be the wisest thing you've ever done."

With that, Ning Fa kissed her deeply, and their figures gradually overlapped.

After Ji Lianxing fell into a deep sleep, Ning Fa sat up, his face showing deep thought.

The Wushi Demon Palace and the Yuancha Sect are threats that cannot be ignored.

Although the mysterious and unpredictable Tianyi Jushi publicly expressed his goodwill towards him, it was impossible for him to rely on this as a shield, especially since it was a top-tier demonic sect like Wushi Demon Palace and Yuancha Sect.

The key issue is that these two major forces still have branch sects in Cangyuan. Judging from the information he has received these past few days, these two major forces, as well as the Taiqing Sect, intend to increase their manpower and influence in Cangyuan, which makes things even more unfavorable.

Especially considering the threat posed by the sea creatures, judging from their eagerness to kill him.

Now that they know where they came from, even if they are not afraid, they may still use means to deal with their sect and family in the future.

Therefore, having thought of this, Ning Fa had made up his mind to let the sect and family leave through the teleportation array at the Xuanhuo Sect ruins.

Just as Ning Fa was pondering, his expression suddenly changed, and he flipped his right hand to take out a special white circular token, from which Lan Dian's voice came out.

Ning Fa couldn't help but smile after hearing this; it was exactly what he wanted.

Lan Dian told him that Meng Ruoqi had completely repaired the teleportation array and had already tested it. The teleportation array could be used at any time, which was naturally great news for Ning Fa.

Ning Fa really wanted to go and see for himself, but with so many top experts from the Great Qin Dynasty here, and that Nascent Soul cultivator also present, he dared not act rashly.

Three days later, a group of cultivators from the Great Qin Dynasty, along with several powerful cultivators from Cangyuan, including Ning Fa, sped off southward.

Besides them, there were also the demons from the Cloud Broken Mountains, and these people were heading towards the Cloud Wasteland Swamp.
