Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 1052 Reunion with the Demon Lord
Thinking of this, Ning Fa couldn't help but recall his amazing gains in the Mingyuan Heavenly Pool.

Innate Thunder Essence, Soul-Deriving Divine Spring, Taiyi Divine Water, Myriad Spirit True Liquid...

With the help of these things, he was very confident that he would cultivate the Divine Firmament Dharma Form to the true first stage of transformation in a not-too-distant time, and also cultivate the Heart of the Moon God to the second stage—the Moon Soul Crystal Core.

If he could advance to the late Nascent Soul stage, his strength would be vastly different from what he is now.

I'm afraid that even when facing a Nascent Soul cultivator, they would have the ability to truly protect themselves without having to rely on a trump card like the Great Annihilation Immortal Pearl.

A day later, the group arrived at a majestic sacred mountain, where they could see numerous beams of light moving in and out.

With a slight sweep of his divine sense, Ning Fa discovered the auras of over a thousand cultivators, with a high proportion of them being high-level cultivators and relatively few being Qi Refining cultivators.

Ning Fa couldn't help but think to himself that the remaining forces of the Zi Yin clan were indeed not weak.

Before long, the group arrived at the summit of the mountain, where a solemn and majestic black palace stood on a huge black jade plaza.

"Brother Ning, your great-uncle is waiting for you inside," Huangfu Ziyue said with a smile.

Ningfa nodded and calmly followed him toward the palace.

After all, with his current cultivation level and the trump cards he had, he was no longer so afraid of ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators, especially since the opponent was seriously injured.

Moreover, before even approaching this sacred mountain, he had already secretly released a blue star from a star-traveling array, ready to escape at any moment.

Soon, Ning Fa arrived at the main hall of the palace, led by Huangfu Ziyue.

A young cultivator with jet-black hair and dressed in a black dragon armor sat upright in the center of the main hall.

His face was incredibly handsome, as if carved by a knife and axe, and he exuded a strong aura of menace. His sharp eyes radiated a fierce pressure as he glared at Ning Fa without any politeness.

Ning Fa suddenly felt as if he were being targeted by an ancient ferocious beast.

He frowned slightly, then met his gaze without changing his expression, releasing his powerful spiritual pressure without restraint.

Huangfu Ziyue and Zhuo Qing, who were standing next to him, seemed unable to bear it and took two steps back. Their beautiful eyes also revealed a hint of horror as they looked at Ning Fa.

Although they knew Ning Fa was very strong, they did not expect him to be this strong.

Even though they weren't ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators, they still felt an overwhelming sense of power upon close contact.

The clash of their auras felt so real that it sent shockwaves through the center of the hall.

Ning Fa's face paled slightly, and he took several steps back. Then, the black-armored youth suddenly withdrew his surging aura.

Ning Fa also let out a soft sigh of relief, his body swayed slightly before he straightened up again, and with his expression unchanged, he cupped his hands and said, "Junior Ning Fa greets Senior."

Ning Fa, however, seemed to be deep in thought.

It seems that the injuries of his great-uncle Huangfu Ziyue are far more serious than he imagined. He can no longer even maintain the Nascent Soul realm and is now only at the half-step Nascent Soul level.

Otherwise, even with his strength, he wouldn't be able to stand up to a Nascent Soul cultivator in perfect condition like this.

The young man in black armor looked Ning Fa up and down, a strange look appearing on his slightly pale face.

He nodded and said, "As expected of someone Ziyue has chosen, to have such cultivation at such a young age is truly remarkable. Let me introduce myself, I am Huangfu Jin."

"Huangfu Jin?" Ning Fa quickly recalled the information he had previously learned about the Ziyin Immortal Dynasty, but there was no such person.

"Senior Huangfu, how can I possibly be of service to you?" Ning Fa asked, getting straight to the point.

Huangfu Jin smiled faintly: "It seems that Ziyue and the others have already told you about the matter, but before you help, I need to confirm whether you are qualified."

As soon as he finished speaking, Huangfu Jin flicked his right hand, and a pale purple longsword appeared in a cloud of black light.

This sword is about seven feet long, and its surface is covered with dark purple rust. It has no spiritual energy fluctuations and looks like ordinary iron.

"If you can activate this sword, it means you are qualified," Huangfu Jin said calmly.

Ning Fa frowned slightly.

Huangfu Jin is putting on a rather arrogant attitude.

Seeing Ning Fa standing with his hands behind his back, he showed no intention of going forward to try.

Huangfu Ziyue, who was standing next to him, looked at him apologetically and whispered, "Brother Ning, I'm sorry, that's just how my great-uncle is."

As she spoke, she immediately looked at Huangfu Jin and quickly transmitted a message to him.

Huangfu Jin gave a soft snort, then reluctantly opened his right hand.

Suddenly, a golden light flashed, and a golden lightning ball began to bounce in his hand.

The lightning power emitted by this lightning ball was completely different from ordinary lightning, possessing a supreme and sublime aura, causing the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth to surge towards it uncontrollably.

Upon seeing this, Ning Fa's eyes lit up, and he stared intently at him, his heart filled with excitement.

What Huangfu Jin held was definitely the Innate Supreme Wood Divine Lightning, and it was not an ordinary Innate Divine Lightning. It also had the aura of a source. He could feel the Supreme Wood Divine Lightning in his body cheering and yearning.

If he can absorb and refine it, it is very likely that it will replace those spiritual objects with the highest wood attribute, thus allowing him to open up the third Thunder Sea Divine Treasury.

Huangfu Jin smiled faintly, "My injuries are extraordinary. Only if you can activate this sword can you prove that you are qualified to help me. Otherwise, there is no need to waste time."

Ning Fa shifted his gaze from the golden lightning ball to the purple iron sword not far in front of him. He unleashed his full divine sense, carefully examining the sword, but found nothing unusual. He let out a soft breath, and his body instantly burst forth with dazzling purple lightning. Amidst the thunderous roar, his figure rapidly grew taller, becoming over ten feet in size, as he activated his Divine Firmament Dharma Form.

In any case, he is currently in the heart of the Ziyin clan's territory and is facing Nascent Soul cultivators, so it's best to be cautious.

After Ning Fa activated his Dharma form, the other three looked at him with surprise, even Huangfu Jin was no exception.

He couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment, "Such a powerful lightning-attribute celestial avatar is comparable to the Thunder Emperor Battle Body in the Thunder Emperor's Manual. This kid is truly a freak. How did he cultivate to this level in such a short time?"

As the Divine Firmament Dharma Image stepped toward the purple iron sword, the three of them became extremely focused, their eyes even revealing barely concealed tension.

As expected, Shenxiao Faxiang grasped the purple sword.

The next moment, the rust on the surface of the purple sword began to slowly peel off, revealing purple runes that resembled lightning, with astonishing electric light flowing within them and even bursting out.

Intense purple lightning formed a purple thunder dragon around the sword and the Divine Firmament Dharma Image, emitting thunderous roars. The phenomenon was extremely astonishing.

Upon seeing this scene, Huangfu Ziyue and Zhuo Qing were immediately filled with excitement.

The purple light then dissipated, the strange phenomenon vanished, and Ning Fa's figure reappeared.

He looked at the three of them with some surprise; their reaction seemed a bit too much.
However, the thought that he might be able to help Huangfu Jin recover from his injuries and return him to the Nascent Soul stage came to mind.

In this way, the Ziyin clan has regained their support, so their reaction is not surprising.

"I wonder if I meet the requirements?" Ning Fa asked with a smile.

Huangfu Jin looked him up and down with a strange glint in his eyes, then burst into laughter, which lasted for a while before subsiding.

"Good, very good, you are indeed qualified."

"And if you help me, I can give you this Innate Supreme Wood Divine Thunder Seed."

"When can we proceed? To be honest, I'm pressed for time and need to return to Kowloon Sea immediately," Ning Fa said in a deep voice.

"It's alright, you can leave here first, because my recovery requires some preparation and it won't be done so quickly. You just need to go to the agreed location when the time comes."

Huangfu Jin said calmly, and then casually tossed the golden lightning ball directly in front of Ning Fa.

Ning Fa looked at him in surprise. Did this person trust him so much?
He gave him the reward before he even made a move.

Huangfu Ziyue looked at him with her beautiful eyes and said with a light laugh, "Brother Ning, you don't know this, but if you want to help your uncle recover from his injuries..."

The prerequisite is that you must refine this innate lightning seed so that you can activate the innate supreme wood divine lightning.

This is also an essential part of restoring my great-uncle's injuries, so you can keep this innate lightning seed.

Of course, the prerequisite is that you need to sign a spiritual contract with us first to ensure that you will not go back on your word.

After all, Brother Ning knows how precious this innate lightning seed is; we only have this one left. I hope you can understand.

Ning Fa suddenly realized something, but he felt a little strange, because judging from his aura, Huangfu Jin was clearly cultivating an extremely powerful demonic art.

Logically speaking, it should be extremely afraid of the innate Wood Divine Thunder, yet it still needs it to heal its injuries.

However, in any case, it would be great to get our hands on this innate lightning seed first.

Ning Fa couldn't help but think to himself that he was incredibly lucky. He had just had a great harvest at Mingyuan Tianchi, and now, having just arrived at Jiulonghai, he had this opportunity.

Thinking of this, a sense of vigilance suddenly arose in his heart, and he thought to himself:

"As the saying goes, the way of Heaven is balanced. I can't always have such good luck, so I must be careful in this matter."

But of course he wouldn't be foolish enough to refuse. After Huangfu Ziyue took out a fourth-order spirit contract and Ning Fa confirmed that there were no problems, the two of them signed their names on it, and Ning Fa directly put the innate lightning seed into his pocket.

After chatting for a while and agreeing on specific contact details, Ningfa couldn't wait to leave.

Huangfu Ziyue and the others did not try to stop her, and the woman led him away from the main hall.

Before long, the two arrived at the summit of another sacred mountain, where they saw surging lava erupting from the mountain. Above the crater, a crimson light array could be seen swirling slightly.

"The restrictions on the first level of the Demonic Space are still in the hands of the Heavenly Evolution Sect. For the sake of secrecy, Brother Ning, you should go through here."

This is also the entrance we came from; you can return to the Heavenly Meltfire Marsh from here.

But you should be careful, as that area is now occupied by the sea race and demon race. However, with Brother Ning's current cultivation level, you should have nothing to fear.

Huangfu Ziyue smiled.

Ning Fa nodded, but just as he was about to fly towards the light array, Huangfu Ziyue unabashedly grabbed his arm:
"Brother Ning, don't worry, there is another person traveling with you, and you know this person too."

Ning Fa was puzzled at first, then looked in another direction as if he had sensed something.

A streak of incredible light shot towards them, arriving in a few flashes.

The figure of a middle-aged cultivator dressed in a cloud robe with a handsome and refined appearance appeared, his eyes, as calm as a lake, looking at Ning Fa with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Ning, it's been a long time since we last met."

Ning Fa was startled; this person was none other than the Demon Lord—Zhuang Mingxiao.
