Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 1060 Pursuit by a Powerful Enemy, News from Tianbao

Tianyi Jushi frowned as he looked at the two newly arrived Nascent Soul cultivators.

Yue Long looked at the two of them, but his expression was rather unpleasant.

"How did you know?"

Star Skeleton Old Ghost glanced at the many Ning family members in the deep pit below and chuckled, "Fellow Daoist Yue Long, your information network is truly impressive."

"If it weren't for the secret report from the rear that Ning Fa had suddenly appeared in the cultivation world of the Nine Dragons Sea, making me realize that there must be something fishy about Ning Fa, that kid might really have fallen into your hands."

"What? That kid is in the Nine Dragons Sea?" Yue Long was startled, wondering why their Nine Immortals' spies in the Nine Dragons Sea hadn't reported this news in time.

He glanced at the two of them and snorted coldly, "It's just in time for you two to arrive."

He then looked at Tianyi Jushi: "Old Daoist Tianyi, even if you take out this Hun Tian Pan, do you think you can withstand the combined efforts of the three of us?"

As far as I know, the price for activating this treasure even once is not light. You are already quite old; I'd like to see just how much of its power you can unleash!

Just then, another voice came: "It's quite lively here. It seems I'm a little late."

Suddenly, a large ink-wash character flew over and transformed in a flash into a cultivator resembling a middle-aged Confucian scholar—it was none other than Venerable Lingjun.

He glanced at the situation, moved closer to Tianyi Jushi, but not completely aligned with him, clearly indicating his stance. Then, with a faint smile, he said:
"Fellow Daoist Tianyi, it seems you have more information than we do. Could you tell us why you are so determined to protect young friend Ning?"

If you can't explain yourself clearly, then I can only assume that your Tianhong Palace intends to keep Ning's secrets for yourself.

“Indeed, I have the same question,” Star Skeleton Old Ghost echoed.

The four Nascent Soul cultivators all turned to look at Tianyi.

Tianyi Jushi couldn't help but sigh: "Actually, there's nothing wrong with saying this."

The old Taoist priest had previously divined that young friend Ning was carrying great fortune, and that the hope for us Nascent Soul cultivators to ascend to the upper realm might fall on young friend Ning.

His discovery of the secret within the Heavenly Pool confirms the old Taoist's deduction.

Do you think this kind of opportunity can be forcibly seized?
Therefore, the old Taoist priest doesn't want you to sever your relationship with him too much, to the point that there's no room for reconciliation later, and even to prevent the old Taoist priest and others from benefiting from his ascension to the upper realm.

"Hmph, what a load of nonsense! Do you think your words will make us give up the pursuit of Ningfa?" Kailandil sneered.

Yue Long and Xinghai Laogui also frowned, clearly not convinced by these words.

Tianyi Jushi glanced at Kailandil and said meaningfully, "Given your status, you should know that our human realm may face a great calamity in the future."

And the culprit is very likely the sea creatures.

Do you really intend to share this secret with the sea creatures?

Upon hearing this, Kailandil's expression changed slightly, while Yue Long and the others seemed to be deep in thought.

In their cultivation world, high-level divination masters have indeed received such divination results.

Yue Long said coldly, "Tianyi, don't even think about sowing discord at this time."

Even if there is some great calamity, that's a matter for the future.

Right now, the most important thing for us is to capture Ning Fa.

"If you don't give us a satisfactory explanation, I'm determined to kill all these Ning family members today. I must extract a Bloodline Pearl from them!"

Master Tianyi stroked his long beard and slowly said, "How about this? Let me first go and talk to young friend Ning to see if he can share what he obtained in the Mingyuan Heavenly Pool with us."

"If he refuses, then whatever you want to do, I will not care."

"Are you kidding me? Go find him first, then all his stuff will be yours!" Yue Long sneered.

Tianyi Jushi said calmly, "To be honest, even if you really obtain the Bloodline Pearl and are able to trace his location, you will most likely be unable to do anything to him, and will instead inevitably become his mortal enemy."

The old Taoist priest and young friend Ning have some acquaintance. If he can reason with him and appeal to his emotions, he should be able to persuade him to share the method of ascension.

If you don't believe me, we can sign the Taiyi Divine Contract.

If that doesn't work, then the old Taoist will have no choice but to take action himself. In any case, the old Taoist won't stand by and watch you lay a hand on his people.

"Hehe, let me make this clear first: once this old Taoist's Hun Tian Pan is activated, it's not something you can just take back whenever you want."

Upon hearing this, Yue Long and the others couldn't help but change their expressions slightly when they recalled the rumored strange and unpredictable power of the Hun Tian Pan.

“Oh, the Taiyi Divine Contract, I can agree to it,” Venerable Lingjun said first.

“Then I agree as well.” Old Ghost Xinghai’s eyes flashed as he spoke.

"I have no objection either," Yue Long said, looking at the Hun Tian Pan in Tianyi Jushi's hand.

“Alright, then I will too…” Kailandil wanted to say something, but Tianyi Jushi interrupted him.

Tianyi chuckled and said, "Fellow Daoists, do you really intend to share this opportunity with the sea race?"

Kelandil's expression immediately changed.

"I, the Venerable One, will be the first to object," Venerable Lingjun said in a chilling tone.

Yue Long and Xinghai Laogui also looked at Kailandil thoughtfully, and a dangerous aura began to rise from their bodies.

Kylandil frowned deeply, then his body radiated blue light, and his figure transformed into a wave, instantly appearing more than a hundred feet away, disappearing in a few flashes.

"So good."

Tianyi Jushi chuckled, then took out an ancient scroll.

But before he began to write, Yue Long said calmly, "I have one more condition: this timeframe must be within one year."

"If you can't get the secret out of that kid, you can't stop us."

After a moment's thought, Tianyi Jushi nodded and said, "Okay."

Then he wrote a passage on the scroll, and several Nascent Soul cultivators signed their names on it after reading it.

The scroll suddenly transformed into a burst of spiritual light, from which several mysterious runes flew out, landing on the individuals before disappearing.

"Time is of the essence, I must set off immediately."

Tianyi chuckled and said, before he could finish speaking, he disappeared without warning in front of the several Nascent Soul cultivators.

The Nascent Soul cultivators were completely unaware of this, and their expressions changed slightly.

……

The Tianfei Islands are the third largest archipelago in the Haoqiong Sea.

Although located in a remote area, the archipelago is exceptionally prosperous due to its abundance of a highly versatile third-tier spirit ore—Feibo Star Stone—along with some equally precious associated ores. It was nearing evening, and near Flying Star City, the main city of the Tianfei Archipelago, the sky was still filled with countless streaks of light as numerous cultivators made their way to Flying Star City.

Among the many streaks of light, two figures were mixed in.

They were a middle-aged man with a sallow complexion and a woman in a white dress who was somewhat attractive; they were Ning Fa and Luo Feixuan in disguise.

At this moment, their cultivation levels were only mid-Foundation Establishment and early Foundation Establishment, making them inconspicuous among the many escape lights.

Ning Fa glanced back, still shaken, and frowned, saying, "How could Yan Jingchen know our whereabouts? Moreover, not only did he chase after us himself, but he also brought a Nascent Soul cultivator with him!"

Just two days ago, Ning Fa and Luo Feixuan used the Tianyan Sect's cross-sea teleportation array to directly teleport to Xingyuan Island, the largest island in the Haoqiong Sea.

This is also the location of the mountain gate of Xingluo Palace, one of the nine major sects of Tian Shu Alliance, and the entire Haoqiong Sea is controlled by Xingluo Palace.

Then Ning Fa and Luo Feixuan immediately flew towards the Tianfei Islands.

It's not that there are no teleportation arrays within the Tianfei Islands, but rather that this archipelago is quite special, and the Xingluo Palace does not allow anyone else to use the teleportation arrays that lead directly to it.

Even if Ning Fa holds the elder's token of the Tianyan Sect, it won't work. Of course, if it were the Taichu Sect or the Wugou Sword Sect, that would be a different story.

This wouldn't have been a big deal in itself, but the key issue is that Ning Fa and Luo Feixuan had only been away from Xingyuan Island for a short time when a powerful enemy came after them.

It was Yan Jingchen, and there was also an unfamiliar Nascent Soul cultivator.

Ning Fa was naturally shocked and furious. After all, he and Luo Feixuan had used disguise techniques to conceal their whereabouts on their way to Haoqiong Sea, but they did not expect to be caught up by Yan Jingchen.

He wasn't too afraid of the two formidable enemies.

After all, he is no longer the same as before, especially now that the Heavenly Book of Crossing Origin has two true form imprints of runes and so many high-level source points, he can definitely hold his own against a Nascent Soul cultivator.

But Luo Feixuan came up with a better idea.

Ning Fa recalled the methods Luo Feixuan had used before and couldn't help but show a hint of surprise. He looked at her and said, "Fellow Daoist Luo, your methods are truly unbelievable. You were able to easily deceive even a Nascent Soul cultivator."

It turns out that Luo Feixuan had previously used a very magical divine thought incarnation technique to create a divine thought incarnation for each of them.

They lured Yan Jingchen and the Nascent Soul cultivator in another direction, while they slipped away and quietly arrived at the Tianfei Islands.

Luo Feixuan smiled calmly: "Once your Moon Goddess Heart is cultivated to the Taiyin Infant Nurturing stage, you will be able to do this easily as well."

While I haven't yet reached that level, it's one of the abilities I've retained from this reincarnation.

Upon hearing this, Ning Fa's heart stirred. It seemed that the reincarnation method of the Moon Goddess Technique was even more mysterious and powerful than he had imagined.

At this moment, Luo Feixuan stared intently at him and suddenly asked, "Is Yan Jingchen the reincarnation of Daoist Yanyuan?"

Ning Fa was taken aback: "You actually figured it out?"

Luo Feixuan said calmly, "I fought a fierce battle with him in my previous life. He was extremely powerful and forced me to use all my skills. Naturally, I was deeply impressed by his soul aura. Even if he is reincarnated, I can recognize him at a glance."

"Why is he so determined to hunt you down, even going so far as to recruit a Nascent Soul cultivator as an ally?"

At this point, Luo Feixuan's eyes had become very sharp.

Ning Fa frowned: "Fellow Daoist, please speak frankly if you have any thoughts."

"Is that Primordial Realm Pearl on you? Is that why Yan Jingchen is relentlessly pursuing you?" Luo Feixuan asked directly, staring intently at him.

Ningfa wasn't surprised; instead, he stroked his chin and didn't answer for a moment.

At this moment, Luo Feixuan smiled and said to herself, "You don't need to be nervous. Now that I have been reincarnated, the most important thing is to deal with the threat of Shen Cizhou. The Primordial Realm Pearl is secondary."

Moreover, we could perhaps cooperate on this item. After all, your goal is likely to ascend to the upper realm with it, and taking me along shouldn't be too difficult.

Upon hearing this, Ning Fa frowned.

He had consulted Si Chenxing about this, who was now sleeping in his Primordial Bead.

He did indeed consider using the Primordial Realm Pearl to take others with him to ascend to heaven. Si Chenxing's answer was yes, but the conditions were extremely harsh.

If Luo Feixuan can really help him meet these conditions, then what's wrong with bringing her along?
Luo Feixuan didn't press further. Instead, she glanced at the nearby Flying Star City and asked with some confusion:
"Why did you insist on coming to the Tianfei Islands? Now that you've discovered a powerful enemy nearby, shouldn't you immediately return to the Five Spirit Sea?"

"I'm here to find someone, someone who is very important to me," Ning Fa said, and then walked towards the city gate not far away.

Luo Feixuan's eyes flashed, and she followed.

Not long after, Ning Fa emerged from a seven-story pavilion in the city called Tianyan Tower, a hint of joy in his eyes.

The Tianyan Tower is an asset of the Tianyan Sect, with branches on all the major islands of the Nine Dragons Sea. In addition to selling spiritual items, it is also used for intelligence gathering.

Ning Fa had just used the elder's token of the Tianyan Sect to obtain important intelligence about the Tianfei Islands recently.

One crucial piece of information is that the mysterious Celestial Merchant has recently been spotted on Falling Star Island in the Celestial Jade Islands, and two people have already conducted business with him there.

This made Ning Fa even more certain that Tianbao Immortal Merchant was very likely the savior that Fairy Yuanxing had mentioned.

"Let's go to Falling Star Island."

Ningfa muttered something under his breath and immediately headed towards the city gate.

Meanwhile, on a deserted island thousands of miles away.

Two figures, whose appearances were identical to Ning Fa and Luo Feixuan, vanished like bubbles.

"Damn it, we've been tricked!" Yan Jingchen said, his face ashen.

Beside him was a young cultivator who looked somewhat frail, dressed in a black robe, with delicate features and an icy expression.

Strangely, his pupils were unusually vertical, and there was a serpent pattern on his forehead that resembled a serpent riding the clouds, making him look somewhat eerie.

His powerful spiritual pressure was far greater than Yan Jingchen's, making him a Nascent Soul cultivator.

His vertical pupils revealed a look of astonishment: "It's truly unbelievable that such a divine thought avatar technique could even deceive me."

"Fellow Daoist Yan Yuan, this Ning boy you're pursuing is truly extraordinary. No wonder you even asked me to join you."

"I've already said it, Daoist Yanyuan is dead. I am now Yan Jingchen. Don't call me by that name anymore."

Yan Jingchen frowned and said with dissatisfaction, showing no politeness whatsoever even though the other party was a Nascent Soul cultivator.

The Nascent Soul cultivator, however, was not offended at all. Instead, he looked him up and down and exclaimed:
"Even now I can't believe it. I never thought that the famous Daoist Yanyuan would actually be reincarnated."

If it weren't for your help, our lineage would have had no chance of escaping from the Demon Court, and I wouldn't exist today.

You said back then that we should not forget your kindness in saving our lives and that we, your descendants, should repay you in the future. It seems that you were already planning to reincarnate back then and preparing for today.

Such foresight truly impresses me.
