Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 1059 Yuejun Informs, Tianyi Takes Action

"The Celestial Merchant Tianbao is looking for me?" Ning Fa was suddenly startled.

This was indeed unexpected for him, after all, this Heavenly Treasure Immortal Merchant was extremely mysterious and had existed in the Nine Dragons Sea for who knows how many years.

Throughout Kowloon's history, many famous and influential figures have made deals with him.

In a way, he can be considered a great wonder of this world.

When he went to Qiyuan Island in the Thunder Sea, it was by chance that he made a deal with Tianbao Immortal Merchant, which allowed him to obtain the crucial Five-Colored Divine Soil.

Now he's taking the initiative to ask me to do a deal. Could it be that I have something he desperately needs?

Upon hearing that the Heavenly Treasure Immortal Merchant was currently in the Haoqiong Sea, Ning Fa's heart skipped a beat.

Could he be the savior the Fairy of Distant Stars was talking about?

Ning Fa immediately said, "There's no time to lose, let's set off right away."

Luo Feixuan nodded and smiled, then left with Ning Fa.

……

Tianli Wumeng Mountain is the sacred mountain of the Tianli people and the location of their sacred temple.

Inside a secluded chamber deep within the mountaintop, thick ice mist filled the air.

At the center was a strange five-colored spiritual flower, several feet tall. At this moment, the flower closed, and light shone brightly within, as if something was being conceived.

Just then, with a strange buzzing sound, the spiritual flower gradually unfolded, revealing the figure of a woman curled up.

He slowly opened his eyes, then stood up, revealing a flawless naked body. Judging from his appearance, he was none other than Ling Yuqing, who should have died in the Mingyuan Heavenly Pool.

Her face was initially blank, but then, as if she had thought of something, her beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief and confusion.

Then, with a gentle wave of her hand, a set of clothes flew in, and after she was fully dressed, she left the secret room.

Outside the hall, another beautiful woman sat at her desk, but she was frowning slightly. Although she was holding a book, she seemed preoccupied and couldn't concentrate on reading it at all. This woman was Ling Yue.

Seeing Ling Yuqing come out, she was overjoyed and ran over quickly: "Mother, you have finally woken up."

Now, the soul flames of the three holy sorcerers, Su Rihe, Meidanlun, and Aroye, have been completely extinguished. The tribe is now in a state of panic, awaiting their mother's intervention.

Ling Yuqing remained calm and said, "I already know about this matter. Yu'er, make your preparations. You will set off for Da Qin immediately tomorrow. People from Huiyue Palace will meet you in the Yun Duan Mountains."

Ling Yue was startled. She opened her mouth to say something, but Ling Yuqing did not allow her to refuse at all and turned around to walk towards another secret room.

There was a complex array that had been fully set up. After Ling Yuqing activated it, a dusty gray water mirror appeared at the center of the array.

A flash of spiritual light appeared on its surface, revealing the figure of a man.

He was handsome and looked quite young; he was none other than Shen Cizhou of Huiyue Palace, who should have died as well.

"You're finally awake. Tell me what exactly happened at the Abyss Heavenly Pool."

It actually caused my Shadow Moon clone to perish silently, without even having time to synchronize its memories with my main body.

Shen Cizhou gave the order in an unquestionable tone.

Ling Yuqing shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Although it was my true form that entered the Mingyuan Heavenly Pool, I have no memory of what happened in that palace at the top of Mount Ling. It must be because of the special restrictions of the Mingyuan Heavenly Pool."

However, I am certain of one thing: my true form was killed by Ning Fa.

"Ningfa?"

Shen Cizhou frowned, then said thoughtfully, "It really was him. No wonder my lunar crown mark is still there..."

But he still found it somewhat difficult to understand:
"With that World Spirit's help, how could Ning Fa possibly harm you?"

Ling Yuqing's beautiful eyes flickered, and she slowly said, "I suspect it's very likely because of Si Chenxing."

When I first entered the Abyss Heavenly Pool, my main body asked her to teleport Ning Fa out of the pool to prevent him from accidentally dying inside and affecting the master's plans, but Si Chenxing refused.

So it's very likely that she considered Ning Faye as another candidate, and ultimately chose him.

Upon hearing this, Shen Cizhou's expression turned somber. After pondering for a long time, he slowly said:

"Tell Yuelong this news immediately, and tell him that Ningfa has obtained the secret of Tianchi."

"Huh? Why is that?" Ling Yuqing was somewhat puzzled.

"Although we don't know what the ultimate treasure in the Mingyuan Heavenly Pool is, it must be extraordinary and related to ascension to the upper realm."

Now that we know the treasure might be with Ning Fa, why doesn't Your Excellency take matters into your own hands and capture him, thus securing the treasure for yourself?

Shen Cizhou shook his head.

“Ning Fa is not as simple as you think. That old guy Tian Yi is paying close attention to him. Even a Nascent Soul cultivator would probably find it difficult to capture him easily.”

You don't need to worry about all that, just do as instructed.

With the treasure I gave you, even if Yue Long personally performs a soul search on you, he absolutely won't detect anything amiss.

Shen Cizhou gave a brief instruction and then ended the communication.

Meanwhile, in a secret room some distance away...

Shen Cizhou stood with his hands behind his back, first in silent contemplation, then with a cold laugh.

"Zhu Yue, now there are only two of us left in the Divine Moon Clan. We must settle this once and for all in this life."

I bet you've placed a lot of bets on Ning Fa, who possesses the Five Elements Thunder Body.

I originally intended to transform him into one of my Shadow Moon clones, but since he has become so deeply involved with the secrets of the Abyss Heavenly Pool, I will destroy him directly and extinguish your last hope.

As for the treasures in the Mingyuan Heavenly Pool, hehe, how could they compare to the supreme treasure of our clan?

"As long as I can devour you, I can enter the Valley of Heavenly Mist, regain my clan's treasure, and then what difficulty will there be in returning to the Upper Realm?"

Just then, a burst of black energy suddenly emanated from Shen Cizhou's body, and his face became ferocious and pained as he gritted his teeth and said, "Soul Demon, what are you doing!"

A hollow, empty voice replied in his mind:
"I just noticed you were getting a little carried away, so I'm reminding you not to forget our agreement."

"We are now one, what good would it do me to break my promise!" Shen Cizhou said angrily.

The voice chuckled softly, then fell silent.

……

Several days later, deep within the Yunhuang Great Swamp.

Inside the palace-shaped flying magic treasure sent by the Tianwu Immortal Cultivation Realm, the Nascent Soul cultivator Yue Long stood at the window looking at the fierce wind outside. His pale gold face was full of coldness, clearly indicating that he was in a very bad mood.

Yesterday, the entrance array to the Abyss Heavenly Pool finally closed, and the entire Heavenly Pool disappeared as a result.

In the end, only three people came out: Lu Caifu, Ye Zangfeng, and Xuyuan Jushi from Cangyuan.

It is clear that Ying Zhen has indeed died in the Mingyuan Heavenly Pool, a fact that was learned from the Nine Immortals Association several months ago.

Because his life tablet had been extinguished, even the special restriction left in his soul by Ying Zhen's grandfather, who was also the president of the Nine Immortals Society, did not take effect, and he was unable to detect who had attacked him.

Previously, these Nascent Soul cultivators had clearly sensed a huge tremor inside the Heavenly Pool, as if some dramatic change had occurred.

If it weren't for the fact that several Nascent Soul cultivators had died in the Heavenly Pool a long time ago, they might have been tempted to venture inside and explore.

Now that Tianchi is closed, its existence can no longer be detected.

Lu Caifu and the other two only had memories of the first three levels of Thousand Whirlpool Spirit Mountain, and had no recollection of what happened afterward. Although the Nascent Soul cultivators tried to search their souls, they found nothing.

However, the legendary Heavenly Pool treasure that was said to be related to their ascension to the Upper Realm was nowhere to be found, which was undoubtedly unacceptable to the Nascent Soul cultivators.

Yue Long could only urgently send a message to the rear, asking his own divination master to perform another divination in hopes of obtaining more information, but he also got nothing.

This naturally made the Nascent Soul cultivator, who stood at the pinnacle of the human realm, feel extremely bad.

After all, he has lived for two thousand years, and is only two or three hundred years away from the lifespan of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

If he cannot ascend to the upper realm, he can only turn into a handful of yellow earth. With his talent, how could he be content with that?
Just then, a sound transmission talisman transformed into a flame in front of him.

Upon hearing this, Yue Long's eyes immediately lit up with a bright light, and his face showed a look of surprise and delight.

Soon after, Yue Long, whose whole body was radiating golden light, slowly removed his hand from Ling Yuqing's head.

Ling Yuqing's face was pale, but she said calmly, "Since you have already searched my soul, you should know that what I said is true."

Although I don't remember all my final memories, nor do I know the ultimate secret of the Abyss Heavenly Pool, it is certain that Ning Fa obtained it.

Yue Long, who had been looking gloomy, was now beaming with joy and said with a smile, "Young friend Ling, you have done very well. You don't need to worry about your clan's affairs. From now on, our Nine Immortals Society will take care of your Tianli clan."

"Thank you, senior." Ling Yuqing said thank you and got up to take her leave.

At this moment, Yue Long could not hide his excitement. Ling Yuqing was not only alive, but had also told him this crucial information to only one person, which undoubtedly gave him a significant advantage.

Although he didn't know Ning Fa's whereabouts, that wasn't a problem for him.

Because he knew that Ning Fa had a sizable clan in Cangyuan, with quite a few members.

"Heh, how could you possibly control such a secret, you mere Nascent Soul cultivator? The mortal realm may be vast, but where can you possibly escape to?"

Yue Long sneered, then transformed into a golden light and disappeared.

Not long after, the Changning Mountains of Cangyuan became the ancestral home of the Ning family.

At the summit of a sacred mountain in the center, a large area of ​​clan buildings had been razed to the ground, replaced by a deep pit hundreds of feet wide.

Its surface has mysterious blood-red patterns that shimmer with a faint blood-red light, making it look exceptionally evil.

At this moment, there were nearly a thousand Ning family members around the deep pit. Most of them had disheveled hair and were injured. They were either tied up or had been placed under a restriction. They were like fish on a chopping board, lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

There were more than a dozen black-clad cultivators around, coldly watching over the group.

These people all possess extremely powerful spiritual pressure, at least at the Nascent Soul stage.

Just three days ago, these powerful cultivators suddenly appeared and captured all the members of the Ning family. In the past three days, many Ning family members who were still outside were also captured and brought back.

Most of the Ning family members looked terrified, and some of the younger ones couldn't help but sob softly, but an older cultivator immediately reprimanded them in a low voice:
"What are you crying for! Even if we die, we cannot dishonor the spirit of the Ning family. Our ancestor will avenge us in the future!"

In the center of the crowd were two Core Formation elders from the Ning family—Ning Zhongyuan and Ning Zhongjiu.

The two looked up at the terrifying figure in the air, clad in a dragon robe, who resembled a king who controlled the world, and a hint of despair appeared in their eyes.

They knew that this enemy was one that even Ning Fa might not be able to defeat.

"Zhong Jiu, my brother and I have finally come to this point..."

But as long as Xiao Fa is alive, our Ning family will not perish, and I believe that Xiao Fa will definitely avenge us in the future!

Ning Zhongyuan first sighed, then said with a firm expression.

Although Ning Zhongjiu remained silent, he nodded emphatically.

Just then, cries and screams rang out as the black-clad cultivators mercilessly pushed many members of the Ning family into the deep pit.

Yue Long, suspended in the air, watched all this with a cold expression. A glint flashed in his eyes, and he whispered:
"That kid has quite a bit of luck; he actually found an ancient teleportation array and plans to teleport his clansmen and sect to another cultivation world."

Unfortunately, the teleportation array malfunctioned at the last minute, forcing these people to return.

The key issue is that they don't know where the teleportation array is located. The only way to get there is another short-distance teleportation array, and the other end of that array has been destroyed.

Hmph, so what if you go to other cultivation worlds?
With so many of your clansmen here, it's enough to refine a top-grade Bloodline Pearl. Even if you run to the ends of the earth, I will find you.

At this moment, nearly a thousand members of the Ning family had been pushed into the deep pit. All the blood-red patterns on the surface of the pit lit up, and for a moment, the pit was filled with blood-red light, exuding an eerie and evil aura.

A cruel smile appeared on Yue Long's face as he raised his right hand to lower it.

Just then, his expression suddenly changed, and he looked ahead.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration appeared, and in the blink of an eye, a figure went from blurry to solid, revealing an old Taoist priest with somewhat gray hair.

He was dressed in a patched blue robe, his hair was messy, and he looked unkempt. His face was peculiar, and although he had a smile on his lips, he gave people a slick and unserious feeling.

"It's you! Tianyi!" Yue Long exclaimed in surprise upon seeing this person, a hint of apprehension appearing between his brows.

The visitor was none other than the mysterious Hermit Tianyi.

"Fellow Daoist Yue Long, it's been a long time."

Tianyi smiled and said, then looked down at the Ning family members in the deep pit below, and said with lingering fear, "Thank goodness, the old Taoist didn't arrive too late."

"Fellow Daoist Tianyi, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to stop me?" Yue Long said coldly.

Tianyi sighed: "That's right, I can't let you kill these Ning family members."

A cold glint suddenly flashed in Yue Long's eyes: "I'm determined to kill these Ning family members. I advise you not to meddle in other people's business."

Master Tianyi smiled helplessly, then turned his right hand over and took out a palm-sized blue disc.

The surface of the disc was covered with mysterious star patterns, and hundreds of tiny points of light, like stars, floated on it, connected by delicate filaments of light.

These tiny stars move in a mysterious pattern, and just looking at them can make you feel dizzy.

"This is... the Hun Tian Pan! You actually brought out this heaven-reaching spiritual treasure?"

Upon seeing this treasure, Yue Long was startled, his eyes filled with apprehension.

Although the human realm they inhabited had undergone great changes in the primordial energy of heaven and earth, it had once been glorious in ancient times, so to this day, it still possesses quite a few heaven-reaching spiritual treasures.

Among the various types of spiritual treasures, there are naturally differences in strength and rank.

This Hun Tian Pan from Tianhong Palace is an extremely rare mid-grade Tongtian spiritual treasure.

Once a treasure reaches the level of a Heavenly Treasure, even a difference in grade is like a chasm, enough to bridge the gap in cultivation levels between cultivators.

Even though Yue Long himself possessed a Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, it was only of low grade, far inferior to the Hun Tian Pan, which was renowned among the Nascent Soul cultivators.

“Fellow Daoist Yuelong, this matter concerning Ning Fa is of great importance. This old Daoist cannot stand by and watch you slaughter his people.”

Although this old Taoist's supernatural powers are not as great as Fellow Daoist Yue Long's, with this treasure, Fellow Daoist Yue Long should be unable to do anything to me, so there's no need to waste your energy."

Tianyi Jushi chuckled and said.

"Oh, what if we join in?"

Just then, a voice came.

Two points of light appeared in the sky, and after a few flashes, they were right in front of me.

An old man resembling a zombie appeared, none other than the Star Desolate Old Ghost, and a handsome young sea creature, none other than the sea creature's god of transformation, Kailandil.

The two stood beside Yue Long, looking at Tian Yi with a shared sense of righteous indignation.
