Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 1041 Ning Daozhen's True Identity
"It seems you already know about our affair."

Ning Daozhen sighed, his face full of helplessness.

Although he possessed an Immortal-Slaying Pearl, judging from Ning Fa's fearless demeanor, it was clear that Ning Fa could still employ the same bizarre methods as before to avoid the Immortal-Slaying Pearl's damage.

Once you use it, there's absolutely no room for recourse.

Ningfa snapped his fingers and said casually, "I did accidentally overhear your conversation, so now you can think about what your last words are. If you don't have any, then you can go in peace."

Xiao Han's face turned ferocious as he roared, "Do you think we'd wag our tails and beg for our lives? Don't even think about it!"
Furthermore, the Nine Immortals Society already knows you possess the Heavenly Puppet, so prepare to face their relentless pursuit from now on!

Xiao Han's voice stopped abruptly before he could finish speaking.

At this moment, Ning Fa pointed out with his right index finger, and a spiraling pillar of lightning shot out, directly shattering the man's head.

Ning Fa then looked at Ning Daozhen and Dan Hongzi and said calmly, "Gentlemen, it's time for you to go and accompany him on your journey."

Dan Hongzi smiled bitterly and looked at Ning Daozhen.

At this moment, Ning Daozhen's expression did not change much. He suddenly said, "Why don't you listen to me before deciding whether to kill us?"

Ning Fa narrowed his eyes slightly: "Tell me about it."

This was because Ning Daozhen had left him some leeway beforehand, so Ning Fa patiently listened to what this person had to say. He was also very curious as to why Ning Daozhen did this.

Ning Daozhen looked solemn and slowly said, "Do you know my true identity?"
In reality, I am a direct descendant of the founder of the Blood Heaven Sect, the Blood Heaven Ancestor, who was actually the reincarnation of a disciple of the Blood Hong Mountain in the Spirit Realm.

Long ago, a major upheaval occurred in our human realm. At that time, many experts from the spirit realm descended to the mortal world, and Blood Heaven Ancestor was one of them.

This major upheaval is also why the primordial energy of our human realm has changed drastically, preventing cultivators from ascending to the upper realm.

It was because a mysterious race from the spirit world once escaped to our human realm carrying an unimaginable treasure.

That treasure was far beyond anything a Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure could compare to; it was the legendary Realm-Opening Treasure—the Profound Heaven Spiritual Treasure.

As Ning Daozhen recounted his story, Ning Fa's expression shifted in shock.

He already knew the basics of what Ning Daozhen said next. This was basically consistent with the information left by Ancestor Jue Lei and what Baili Ming had told him, and even more specific in some aspects.

"Finally, these experts from the lower realms and the remnants of that mysterious race fought a great battle in a place called Mitian Valley in the human realm."

I don't know the final outcome, but a wisp of the Blood Heaven Ancestor's remnant soul escaped from it, and eventually he founded the Blood Heaven Sect on the Tianwu Continent.

He had always been preoccupied with the Mitian Valley, because the mysterious race's Xuan Tian spiritual treasure might still remain there, and this secret was only known to the core descendants of our lineage.

After Ning Daozhen finished speaking, he looked at Ning Fa, who seemed to be deep in thought.

He frowned and asked, "Do you know about these things?"

Ningfa stroked his chin: "I do know a little."

Ning Daozhen and Dan Hongzi were shocked.

After all, what Ning Daozhen was talking about was the highest-level secret in this world, which even ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators would probably find difficult to know.

Ning Fa knew about this, which shocked them even more.

Ning Daozhen suddenly seemed to realize something and asked incredulously, "Could you also be a descendant of someone from the Upper Realm?"

Ning Fa didn't reply, but he did understand why Ning Daozhen had said that, and he couldn't help but sneer:

"You're trying to use this secret to save your life? But as far as I know, Mitian Valley is extremely dangerous."

Even though the Nine Immortals Society already knew of its existence, they still couldn't get inside after so much time, so what's the use of telling me this?"

"You know quite a lot. You even know that the Nine Immortals Society is plotting to get here." Ning Daozhen looked Ning Fa up and down in shock, and Ning Fa seemed even more unfathomable to him.

"But do you know that when people came from the upper realm, it wasn't just Blood Heaven Ancestor who escaped with his life?"

There are also a few other powerful individuals who founded the Nine Immortals Society, which is why the Nine Immortals Society has remained the strongest force in the human realm for so many years.

Upon hearing this, Ning Fa's pupils contracted slightly. He really didn't know about this, but it seemed very possible.

“That Mitian Valley is indeed extremely dangerous, but after escaping from Mitian Valley, the Blood Heaven Ancestor has been trying to find a way to return there.”

Moreover, he had an advantage that the Nine Immortals Society and others did not have: the assistance of the Blood River. It was precisely because of the Blood River that the Ancestor was able to escape from there.

The reason he founded the Blood Heaven Sect was to use the sect's power to create a special treasure, hoping to re-enter the Mitian Valley.

However, he was unable to complete it before his death, and this half-finished treasure was hidden in the Blood River before his passing. Currently, only I know how to retrieve this treasure.

"If you spare the two of us, I will retrieve that treasure from the Blood River and refine it completely, then I can help you go to the Mitian Valley to obtain that Xuan Tian Spiritual Treasure."

After hearing Ning Daozhen's words, Ning Fa's heart was filled with turmoil.

If he hadn't seen the information about Ancestor Jue Lei and his conversation with Baili Ming, he would most likely have thought Ning Daozhen was talking nonsense.

Ning Daozhen's words did indeed stir his heart, after all, the Xuan Tian spiritual treasure that might exist in Mi Tian Valley had an unimaginable allure.

Ningfa stroked his chin and slowly said, "I need to perform a soul search on you to confirm the truth of what you say."

“Okay,” Ning Daozhen readily agreed. Ning Fa then unceremoniously clapped his right hand several times, placing a restriction on Ning Daozhen, and began searching his soul.

After about an hour, Ning Fa slowly removed his hand from Ning Daozhen's head. Ning Daozhen let out a muffled groan, his face turning even paler.

Ning Fa's expression changed drastically.

He discovered that the man's soul was in an extremely strange state, like broken willow catkins, very incomplete, but fortunately his memories of his reincarnation were still very clear.

What Ning Daozhen just said was indeed true.

Moreover, he also learned that Ning Daozhen's other purpose in wanting to obtain the Soul-Deriving Divine Spring was to repair his soul injury.

Ning Daozhen only managed to reincarnate successfully through a very costly method, but his soul was also severely damaged, and he couldn't recall some key memories.

For example, how to obtain that treasure and its complete crafting method from the Blood River.

Therefore, in addition to cultivating his primordial soul and spiritual essence, he also wanted to obtain the Divine Spring of Soul Derivation in order to repair his soul injuries and restore those crucial memories.

At the same time, Ning Fa also learned the whole story of how they got in touch with the Nine Immortals Society, mainly because of Xiao Han.

It turns out that the Blood Heaven Sect had another secret: after escaping, the Blood Heaven Ancestor had tried to enter the valley again.

Although he returned in defeat, he did manage to bring out a dying member of the Puppet Spirit Clan.

The Puppet Spirit Clan left behind a legacy within the Blood Heaven Sect, including the "Heavenly Puppet Treasure Scripture."

Xiao Han was the most talented puppeteer in the Blood Heaven Sect in all these years, so he received the complete inheritance of the "Heavenly Puppet Treasure Scripture".

For years he had been staying in a secret ruin of the Blood Heaven Sect, trying to forge another powerful Heavenly Puppet.

This site is connected to another site of the Blood Heaven Sect in Tianwu, which has long been controlled by the Nine Immortals Society. The two sites can communicate through certain special means.

Ning Daozhen and the others had known this for a long time, but out of fear of the Nine Immortals Society, Ning Daozhen had never dared to alarm them.

Later, the situation changed. The matter of Mingyuan Tianchi escalated, and with the intervention of Nascent Soul cultivators, Ning Daozhen and the others felt a sense of crisis.

At this time, Ning Daozhen originally planned to find that Nascent Soul cultivator, Old Ghost Xinghai, from the Rakshasa Immortal Cultivation World and make a deal with him in exchange for permission to enter.

However, Xiao Han had already taken it upon himself to contact the Nine Immortals Society, and the person who answered the call was Ying Zhen.

Xiao Han not only told Ying Zhen about the Mingyuan Heavenly Pool, but also wanted to tell him about Ning Fa's possession of a spiritual Heavenly Puppet after learning that the other party was extremely interested in it.

Fortunately, Ning Daozhen discovered their communication in time through the restriction and interrupted it, which led to a big argument with Xiao Han.

However, after Ying Zhen and the others arrived, they became very concerned about the matter and kept pressing them for answers.

Finally, Ning Daozhen proposed this compromise, saying he would tell Ying Zhen when they arrived at Mingyuan Tianchi.

His original intention was to give Ningfa a chance to live, but it turned out that this gave him a chance to live instead.

The main reason why Xiao Han harbors such hostility towards Ning Fa is not because Ning Fa stole Hei Yu, but because of Zhuo Qing.

Back in the Blood Heaven Sect, Xiao Han had always been extremely infatuated with Zhuo Qing.

However, he later sensed that Zhuo Qing treated Ning Fa differently, and even helped Ning Fa in Yingyue Valley instead of interfering with him.

Therefore, Xiao Han harbored great hostility towards Ning Fa and took this opportunity to retaliate directly, which led to a big argument between Ning Daozhen and him.

Thinking of this, Ning Fa couldn't help but ask Ning Daozhen with some curiosity, "You don't really not want to deal with me because we're cousins, do you?"

Soul searching is not omnipotent, after all, it can only obtain the memories that the cultivator has experienced, and cannot detect their deeper thoughts.

Ning Daozhen barely managed to stand up and said calmly, "It's very simple. This is the revelation that Xue Tian Changhe gave me before. It made me realize that if I were to deal with you, there might be very serious consequences, so I have always avoided becoming your enemy."

Ning Fa was taken aback; he hadn't expected it to be for this reason.

In Ning Daozhen's memory, the Blood River was a mysterious object from the Spirit Realm, and its rank was extremely high, beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators.

The Blood River in the human world is just a projection of it; it even exists in many realms. I never expected it could have such a mysterious omen.

Ning Fa then looked at Dan Hongzi and smiled, "Fellow Daoist Dan Hongzi, is there anything you'd like to say to me?"

Dan Hongzi gave a bitter smile: "Since you have already searched Ning Daozhen's soul, you should know that he and I have always been on the same side."

Moreover, if you spare my life, there is one advantage: I can serve as a warning to that ancient immortal.

After all, my cultivation of the Primordial Soul Splitting Technique is much higher than yours, so in some ways, I am closer to that ancient immortal than you.

Therefore, I was able to know about his movements much earlier, and I was even more likely to be the first person affected by that ancient immortal.

Therefore, I also serve as a shield for you. What do you think of this reason, Fellow Daoist Ning?

Upon hearing this, Ning Fa narrowed his eyes slightly. This reason was quite convincing, and he had now decided to spare the lives of these two.

"I can spare your lives, but you must allow me to place a soul-binding restriction on you."

Ningfa looked at the two of them and said.
