Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 1062 The Power of the Heavenly Treasure
Ning Fa was startled upon hearing this. Tianbao was clearly referring to Yan Jingchen and the unfamiliar Nascent Soul cultivator.

But the question is, how do they know their exact whereabouts, and know that they are currently on Falling Star Island?
Luo Feixuan also looked serious: "It seems this is not a coincidence. They do have the means to accurately pinpoint your location."

Ning Fa frowned. Since Yan Jingchen was chasing him, then the possibility of using his clansmen to refine the Bloodline Pearl could be ruled out. So how did he locate him?
Ningfa immediately recalled his recent experiences to see if there was anything unusual.

Soon, his eyes snapped open, and with a flick of his right hand, he produced a special rhombus-shaped token—the very elder token that Qing Hong, the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Evolution Sect, had given him earlier.

Upon seeing this object, Ning Fa's expression turned grim.

In fact, a long time ago, Master Wuxin had given him a similar elder's token to facilitate his actions.

However, when Ning Fa met Qing Hong before, Qing Hong said that if he wanted to use the cross-sea teleportation array, he would need this special token, so Ning Fa didn't think much of it and just carried it with him.

Looking back now, this token was probably quite problematic.

Previously, I used it to teleport to Xingyuan Island, and not long ago, I used this token to search for relevant information at Tianyan Tower in Feixing City, the main city of Tianfei Islands. It is very likely that my whereabouts were exposed because of this.

If that's the case, wouldn't it mean that Qinghong and Yan Jingchen are in cahoots?

Could it be that his previous request for my help in refining the treasure was also a conspiracy, that he actually wanted to join forces with Yan Jingchen to deal with me?

Thinking of this, Ning Fa felt a chill run down his spine. He couldn't understand why Qing Hong would do such a thing.

Although this was just a guess, he had a gut feeling that it was very likely.

Seeing that Ning Fa's expression was off, Luo Feixuan listened to Ning Fa briefly explain his guesses and then said thoughtfully:
"I have seen Qinghong from afar a few times, and I can tell that he is not in a good state. His spiritual aura is unusually obscure and even has a hint of evil. It is possible that his eagerness to cultivate the shock transformation technique has affected his mind."

And Yan Jingchen is the reincarnation of the Daoist Yanyuan; perhaps he made a promise to help Qinghong advance to the Nascent Soul stage, in exchange for his assistance.

Upon hearing this, Ning Fa suddenly felt enlightened; this explanation made sense.

After all, Daoist Yanyuan was once the master of the Fuling Palace, so he naturally knew that all the Grand Elders of the Tianyan Sect were the masters of the Heart Palace of the Fuling Palace.

So it's not surprising that he sought out Qinghong to deal with him.

A cold glint flashed in Ning Fa's eyes as he looked at Tianbao Immortal Merchant and asked, "Fellow Daoist Tianbao, you should be able to handle that Nascent Soul cultivator, right?"

Tianbao Immortal Merchant said calmly, "You shouldn't need to pay extra for dealing with these two."

Upon hearing this, Ning Fa immediately smiled.

This undoubtedly shows that the Nascent Soul cultivator was no match for Tianbao, and the difference in strength should be quite significant.

Before long, two streaks of light appeared on the distant horizon, rushing toward this place at an astonishing speed.

In just a few breaths, the two had arrived in front of him; they were Yan Jingchen and the young man in the black robe.

Ning Fa stood with his hands behind his back, looking at them with a chuckle, appearing relaxed and even fearless.

Yan Jingchen and the other person's expressions changed slightly, and they immediately looked at Tianbao Immortal Merchant next to Ning Fa, as if they realized something.

Yan Jingchen frowned and said, "Fellow Daoist Tianbao, if you have already completed your deal with him, may you leave? I have a personal grudge to settle with him, and I remember that you have never interfered in the struggles of the cultivation world."

Tianbao Immortal Merchant said calmly, "I have already accepted his employment. If you attack him, I will consider you an enemy and will naturally take action against you."

"What!?"

Upon hearing this, both Yan Jingchen, the reincarnation of a former warlord, and the young man in black robes, now a Nascent Soul cultivator, were stunned and unable to maintain their composure.

As native cultivators of the Nine Dragons Sea, the shock they felt upon learning that Tianbao Immortal Merchant had been hired by someone else was far greater than that of Luo Feixuan.

Throughout this long history, countless powerful forces, including the once-prosperous Ziyin Immortal Dynasty, have tried to win over the Tianbao Immortal Merchants, but without exception, they have all been rejected.

Some even angered him, and he attacked them fiercely, resulting in the deaths of Nascent Soul cultivators.

It's unexpected that this mysterious figure would be hired by a Nascent Soul cultivator like Ning Fa; no wonder they've lost their composure like this.

Seeing the two of them so shocked, Ning Fa's smile deepened, and he felt that the extremely high price of hiring Tianbao Immortal Merchant was now more acceptable.

At this moment, Yan Jingchen took a deep breath and immediately said, "Fellow Daoist Tianbao, no matter what Ning Fa uses to persuade you, I can still offer the same price, or even a higher one."

Tianbao Immortal Merchant shook his head: "What I need, you don't have, and even if you did, you're too late."

Yan Jingchen's face immediately turned extremely ugly.

He never expected that such an unexpected variable would arise.

The young man in black robes beside him also frowned and secretly transmitted his voice, saying, "Since this person already has Tianbao's help, let's just let this matter go."

A fierce glint flashed in Yan Jingchen's eyes: "Now is the best time. If we give him more time to grow, I'm afraid even I won't be able to do anything to him."

"That way, you hold Tianbao off, and I'll go all out to take down this kid as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, the young man in the black robe frowned even more deeply.

He absolutely did not want to fight against such a terrifying figure as Tianbao, after all, there were more than one or two Nascent Soul cultivators who had died at Tianbao's hands.

Despite his self-confidence and belief that he could overcome any obstacle, he did not think he would be a match for Tianbao.

In particular, the legendary Heavenly Treasure Immortal Merchant cannot be viewed as a normal cultivator; the restrictions imposed on Nascent Soul cultivators in this world seem to be nonexistent for him.

For example, he can unleash his full power without any worries, and without having to consider the loss of vital energy in his body, which would shorten his lifespan.

"What are you afraid of! I just want you to hold him off. With that rare treasure to help you, you should be able to hold him off for a while."

At this moment, Yan Jingchen gave another cold snort and transmitted his voice.

The young man in the black robe's eyes flickered, and he finally nodded slowly: "Alright, then so be it. You should hurry as well."

He laughed heartily, "I have long heard of Fellow Daoist Tianbao's extraordinary strength. Today, I, Tu Li, will experience it for myself."

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his right hand, and a palm-sized white Dharma wheel flew out, spinning rapidly above his head, radiating a mysterious white spiritual light.

At the same time, a unique white Dharma wheel appeared above Tianbao's head, also spinning rapidly.

The next moment, Tianbao and the young man in black robes vanished mysteriously. Ning Fa merely frowned slightly as he looked at Yan Jingchen. He immediately understood the other party's plan and sneered, "It seems you think you've got me cornered."

At this moment, Yan Jingchen was releasing intense black and white lightning all over his body, with countless black and white electric balls floating and swirling around him, exuding an extremely dangerous and powerful aura.

His long black and white hair was also dancing wildly. With two thunderous sounds, two lightning spears, one black and one white, appeared in front of him.

The spearhead trembled violently, unleashing countless black and white runes that emanated an extremely powerful aura; it was clearly a pair of top-grade spiritual treasures.

He said in a booming voice, "I know you possess the Five Elements Thunder Body. If you were at the same level as me, I would be somewhat wary of you."

"Now, even if I have to pay a certain price, it's not impossible for me to win you over."

Ning Fa laughed heartily: "How could you possibly understand the power of the Five Elements Thunder Body! Fellow Daoist Luo, you don't need to make a move, I alone am enough to deal with him!"

Before he finished speaking, Ning Fa's figure rapidly rose to several zhang in height amidst intense purple lightning, revealing that he had activated his Divine Firmament Dharma Form.

Furthermore, mysterious and magnificent armor quickly appeared on the surface of the Dharma Image, and a lightning rune resembling a sharp sword on its chest also lit up rapidly. In the end, the Divine Firmament Dharma Image turned into a deep purple color.

Behind him, a purple lightning wheel spun rapidly, with surging lightning bursting out like a thunderstorm, as if he were standing on the top of a sea of ​​lightning, and the terrifying aura he exuded was also increased several times over.

Faced with a formidable enemy like Yan Jingchen, Ning Fa did not hesitate to unleash his strongest form, the first transformation of the Divine Firmament Dharma Image.

At this moment, his spiritual pressure was no less than that of Yan Jingchen.

Luo Feixuan, who had already flown more than ten feet away, couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise in her beautiful eyes.

Yan Jingchen's expression changed as he realized he had seriously underestimated Ning Fa's strength, and that the cultivation technique he practiced was of an extremely high grade.

This made him even more wary, and he was determined to take down Ning Fa today, otherwise the chances would be even smaller in the future.

With a roar, his entire body transformed into intensely bright black and white lightning, merging into the two lightning spears in front of him. The spears intertwined and spun rapidly, hurtling towards Ning Fa.

In an instant, a black and white lightning tornado formed, its thunderous roar piercing the sky, its power terrifying beyond measure.

The Divine Firmament Dharma Image also held aloft a five-colored thunder sword about ten feet long, its surface shimmering with intense five-colored thunder.

The white and red colors were particularly dazzling, as they represented the Supreme Gold Divine Thunder and Supreme Fire Divine Thunder, which he had cultivated to the Innate Realm.

Under his frantic urging, the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) surged and rushed towards his thunder sword like a tide, causing the sword's power to increase dramatically.

With a thunderous roar, the Divine Firmament Dharma Image, wielding its sword, transformed into a streak of light and slashed wildly at the oncoming black and white tornado.

The two clashed, first pausing, then a deafening roar erupted, and a terrifying surge of spiritual energy instantly swept outwards, reducing all the surrounding mountains, rocks, vegetation, and land to nothing.

After the commotion subsided, the Divine Firmament Dharma Image and the black and white lightning scroll were nowhere to be seen.

Only vague figures could be seen flashing rapidly within a range of tens of miles, accompanied by bursts of violent sounds. The aftershocks of fierce battles rippled out from time to time, making Falling Star Island seem like the end of the world.

The two fought so fiercely and rapidly that even Nascent Soul cultivators with slightly weaker strength could hardly see the whole scene.

Luo Feixuan floated in the air, her beautiful eyes flashing with white light. With her powerful divine soul, she could clearly grasp the entire process of the two's battle.

She was well aware of how strong Daoist Yanyuan was, but what truly impressed her was Ning Fa's formidable strength in their battle, which made her take him even more seriously.

Ten breaths later, a strange buzzing sound came from somewhere in the air.

Immediately, a burst of spiritual light appeared there. First, the white Dharma wheel flew out, and it shattered in a flash of spiritual light. Then, a huge object fell out of it.

It was a gigantic white snake, tens of feet long, with the key feature being that its lower body was a snake, while its upper body was that of the young man in the black robe.

At this moment, his appearance also changed drastically. His naked body was covered with white scales the size of copper coins, forming ancient and wild scales.

It has a single white horn on its head, and a white snake phantom that seems to ride the clouds behind it, exuding a powerful spiritual pressure at the Nascent Soul level.

But at this moment, he was in a miserable state. His entire body was completely out of control and flew backward, smashing a small mountain several miles away that was a hundred feet high, before he could barely regain his footing.

It could be seen that it supported itself with one hand, barely straightening up. Its huge snake body was covered with dripping wounds, and its mouth was full of blood. It looked ahead with a look of fear.

There, the Celestial Merchant Tianbao slowly emerged.

At this moment, his whole body shone with golden light, and in front of him was a long golden ruler. The golden runes on the surface of the ruler flowed rapidly, and with each tremor, it scattered patches of golden light.

The spiritual pressure it emitted was far stronger than that of any spiritual treasure; it was clearly a heaven-reaching spiritual treasure.

With a slight lift of his right hand, the golden ruler instantly transformed into a massive object several meters in size amidst a burst of golden light, and conjured dozens or even hundreds of illusory images.

As soon as Tianbao Xianshang's hand fell, it crashed down towards Tu Li amidst a terrifying roar of spiritual energy.

With another deafening roar, Tu Li shot out from a halo of light that resembled a golden sun, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Half of his snake tail was severed, and his aura plummeted.

His face was contorted in a ferocious grimace, and his serpentine remains violently thrashed through the air as he fled into the distance at an astonishing speed.

With a thunderous roar, Ning Fa and Yan Jingchen appeared one after the other, both looking somewhat disheveled.

Yan Jingchen stared at the golden ruler in Tianbao Immortal Merchant's hand, his pupils suddenly contracting, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "The Measuring Ruler! This treasure is actually in your hands!"

Before he finished speaking, he had already transformed into a streak of black and white lightning without hesitation, escaping at the same speed.

Tianbao remained expressionless, pointed forward again, and the golden ruler shot out numerous shadows, continuing to pursue the two fleeing figures.

In the blink of an eye, Yan Jingchen's figure was shattered within the golden ruler shadow, but then thousands of incredibly thin black and white electric threads shot out from it and disappeared into the void in an instant.

However, the golden ruler-shaped shadow also multiplied into countless forms, disappearing into the void in pursuit.

On the other side, the young man in black robes had completely transformed into a hundred-foot-long giant snake, its mouth wide open, as if becoming a boundless vortex, swallowing the numerous foot-sized shadows that were blasting towards it.

The vortex then spun rapidly, exploded with a deafening roar, and unleashed a terrifying spiritual tide that swept outwards, causing the heavens and earth to change color.

Then a white light flew out like a stray dog ​​and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
