Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 1159 Repaying the Distant Star
The Vast Ocean, Mount Wanxing, is where the original Star Luo Hall of the Tian Shu Alliance was located.

Unlike the ruins of the other eight sects of the Tian Shu Alliance, the palaces, pavilions and towers of the Xing Luo Palace are mostly intact.

At this moment, the mountain gate was deserted and quiet.

Ning Fa flew directly to the back of Wanxing Mountain, which was also the forbidden area of ​​Xingluo Palace. The entire back mountain was shrouded in a hazy starlight magic shield.

Two figures hovered at the entrance. One of them was an old Taoist priest dressed in a gray long robe with a gaunt face. This man was none other than the long-unseen Tianyi Jushi.

The other one, dressed in a star-blue robe and exuding an air of otherworldly grace, was none other than Xingxuan Zhenren, the chief cultivator of the Xingluo Palace.

The two looked at Ning Fa, who stood opposite them with his hands behind his back. Tianyi Jushi smiled bitterly and shook his head repeatedly.

Although his appearance hadn't changed much, he was emaciated, with many wrinkles on his face, giving the impression that he was on his deathbed and his life force had been severely depleted.

Although Master Xingxuan maintained a relatively calm expression, his tightly clenched hands trembled slightly.

Ning Faru's tangible intent to kill had already firmly enveloped him.

In that operation a hundred years ago, Master Xingxuan also played an important role, impersonating Fairy Yuanxing to respond to Ningfa and reassure him to participate in the operation. Therefore, he was also someone Ningfa was determined to kill.

At this moment, Layman Tianyi coughed violently, spitting out a mouthful of pus and blood.

He shook his head and smiled bitterly, then looked at Ning Fa with a pleading expression and said, "Fellow Daoist Ning, could you please give this old Daoist a little face and spare Xing Xuan's life?"
This is not just for the old Taoist priest himself, but also for all of us humans.

To be honest, all these years, I have been studying the ancient star stele. I have no other wish than to unravel its mysteries before I die.

For this reason, the old Taoist priest has already sacrificed most of his remaining lifespan.

With the help of Fellow Daoist Xingxuan, we have made some progress. Give us a little more time, and perhaps we can unravel some of its mysteries.

At that time, we will pass on everything we have come to understand to our fellow Daoists.

"If Fellow Daoist Ning is still uneasy about us, he is welcome to search our souls."

Ning Fa looked at him coldly and said, "Fellow Daoist Tianyi, I only ask you, did you know anything about that operation a hundred years ago?"

Upon hearing this, Tianyi Jushi was speechless, and the bitter smile on his face deepened.

Ning Fa said expressionlessly, "Although you stood by and did nothing that time, you did protect my Ning family members once before, so I won't do anything to you. I will also preserve the inheritance of your Tianhong Palace."

"But Fellow Daoist Tianyi, please refrain from further words. Xingxuan is destined to die today!"

Upon hearing this, Tianyi Jushi's expression stiffened, and then he let out a deep, helpless sigh.

The hope that had been shining in Master Xingxuan's eyes vanished instantly. He first bowed deeply to Layman Tianyi, then slapped his chest with his palm.

His life force quickly dissipated, and his body fell, crashing heavily to the ground.

Master Tianyi glanced at it, shook his head, and then waved his hand, opening the Starlight Dharma Shield.

He flashed to Ning Fa's side, trembling as he pulled out an ancient, azure stone tablet from his robes. He took one last, reluctant look at it, then produced a jade slip and handed both items to Ning Fa.
"This jade slip contains some insights I gained from studying this ancient stele. I hope it will be helpful to Fellow Daoist Ning."

After saying this, Tianyi Jushi transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the distance.

In a mysterious space shimmering with azure starlight, there is a starlight prison, trapping a beautiful little girl dressed in a starlight dress.

The little girl lay on a stone bench, looking weak and listless. Her little hands twitched slightly, and she mumbled something.

"Ningfa, Ningfa, when will you come to save this fairy? This fairy is truly living a life worse than death."

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly pinched her small hands twice rapidly, then stood up abruptly, staring intently into the distance with eyes full of surprise.

The next moment, a flash of lightning appeared, and a handsome figure suddenly appeared in this space; it was Ning Fa.

Fairy Yuanxing cheered, "Ningfa, you've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you for so long!"

Seeing that Fairy Yuanxing was safe and sound, Ningfa breathed a sigh of relief and then waved his hand with a smile.

With a deafening roar, the starlight cage was instantly shattered.

Ning Fa arrived in front of Fairy Yuanxing, flicked his right hand, and a bright blue round bead and an ancient star disk flew to her. They were her original form, the Heavenly Star Bead, and another treasure of the Star Luo Palace, the Myriad Star Disk.

Fairy Yuanxing hugged the Heavenly Star Pearl and the Myriad Stars Disc with a joyful expression, then looked Ning Fa up and down as if she were seeing him in a new light, and exclaimed, "Young Ning, you've really made something of yourself now."

Ning Fa smiled and said in a deep voice, "Fairy Yuanxing, you've been saying you want me to help you recover from your injuries. How exactly can I help you?"

The Fairy of Distant Stars stroked her chin with her small hand, somewhat embarrassed: "To be honest, I don't know either. I just feel that you can definitely do it. Maybe it's because of yourself, or because of the special treasure you possess. Why don't you think about it some more?"

As she spoke, she looked at Ningfa with anticipation.

Ning Fa's heart stirred, and he immediately thought of the Crossing Origin Heavenly Book.

He first looked at the Heavenly Star Pearl, especially at a very obvious crack inside it, but the Heavenly Book did not react.

He then focused his attention and looked carefully at the Fairy of the Distant Stars.

"Hey Ningfa, what are you doing? It's very impolite to stare at a girl like that!"

The Fairy of Distant Stars hurriedly covered her body with her small hands, her little eyebrows furrowed together, and said unhappily.

At this moment, a glint of light flashed in Ning Fa's eyes.

The Book of Crossing Origins reacted, and not just in a normal way, but the special rune representing the Profound Heaven Spiritual Essence also stirred.

Ning Fa was surprised, but despite the extreme value of this Xuan Tian Ling Yuan, he did not hesitate and said, "I think I know how to help you. You should return to your original body first."

Fairy Yuanxing was overjoyed and transformed into a beam of starlight, disappearing into the Heavenly Star Pearl.

Ning Fa breathed a sigh of relief and immediately activated the rune on the Heavenly Book. Then, his right hand, which was flashing with a special white spiritual light, gently covered the Heavenly Star Pearl.

As the spiritual light slowly flowed in, the Heavenly Star Pearl immediately shone brightly, and the crack inside it healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, returning to its original state within three breaths.

Furthermore, dozens of mysterious star-blue runes have appeared inside the Heavenly Star Pearl, giving it a mysterious and ethereal aura.

At this moment, the white light in Ning Fa's hand slowly faded away, and the Xuan Tian Ling Yuan changed from sixty points to forty points.

The Heavenly Star Pearl flashed, and the Fairy of Distant Stars reappeared.

She had grown a bit more by now, but she still looked like a little girl. Her face was full of surprise, and she couldn't help but rush over and give Ningfa a big kiss, then she ran away a little embarrassed.

"Ningfa, how did you do that? It's amazing! Not only did you heal my injuries, but you also made me stronger than ever before!"

She looked at her little hands, somewhat incredulous.

Ning Fa smiled slightly: "That's my secret."

The Fairy of Distant Stars gave him a coquettish glare, then continued to happily examine her body, muttering, "Fantastic, fantastic! This fairy can finally travel far away!"

At this moment, as if she had just remembered something, she hurriedly said, "By the way, Ning Fa, besides me, there was another person who helped you back then. She also put in a lot of effort, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to help you back then. Since you can help me recover from my injuries, you should be able to help her as well."

"Oh? Who is she?" Ning Fa asked curiously.

"Her true form is the Mi Ling Realm. She escaped to your human realm with me back then."

This guy has always been cunning. Although he has some history with you, he has never dared to show himself to you.

"A hundred years ago, I was trapped, and it was thanks to her that I told me you were in danger and that she temporarily restored my powers, enabling me to help you."

Ning Fa was surprised, not expecting there to be such a hidden story behind it.

He immediately asked, "Where is Mi Lingjing now? I'm going to find her."

Fairy Farstar tilted her head: "That guy is always mysterious. Give me a little more time to confirm her location."

As she spoke, Fairy Yuanxing closed her eyes slightly and kept making hand seals.

Not long after, she opened her eyes again and gave a location: "I've found her. Just go here to find her."

Ning Fa nodded and then asked, "Fairy Yuanxing, what are your plans next?"

You just said you come from the spirit world. Are you perhaps going back to the spirit world?

Why not come with me? I'll ascend to the Spirit Realm in no time.

The Fairy of Distant Stars was first surprised, then she made a hand gesture and seemed to understand something, looking at Ning Fa with some shock:

"Young Ning, you are even more capable than I thought. It seems you have broken the barrier that sealed off the human realm."

After saying that, she shook her head again: "However, this fairy does not intend to return to the Spirit Realm now. I need to go to another special realm first to find a treasure that this fairy once lost before I will return to the Spirit Realm."

"Don't worry, once I arrive in the Spirit Realm, I will find a way to sense you and will come to visit you, my friend."

Ning Fa nodded, not insisting.

Although Fairy Farstar and her true form, the Heavenly Star Pearl, are definitely not ordinary treasures, he had already regarded Fairy Farstar as a true friend, so naturally he would not think of taking them for himself.

At this moment, Ning Fa said again, "By the way, Fairy Yuanxing, could you do me another favor and help me find someone?"

The Fairy of Distant Stars raised her small face: "This fairy is now terrifyingly powerful. Tell me, who do you want to find?"

"Yan Jingchen is the reincarnation of Daoist Yanyuan. You should know him; it was you who rescued me from his clutches back then."

Speaking of this person, Ning Fa's eyes flashed with a cold light.

He originally thought Yan Jingchen must be hiding in Mitian Valley, but later he found that the man had already escaped and was now hiding somewhere.

Before Ningfa ascends to immortality, this major threat must be dealt with first; otherwise, how can he feel at ease?

"piece of cake."

Fairy Far Star snapped her fingers, and then cast a series of spells towards the Heavenly Star Pearl with her small hand. A layer of hazy starlight shot out from it, within which countless images flickered, but for a moment the images could not be fixed.

Fairy Far Star raised an eyebrow: "Oh, little guy, you've been hiding your true colors quite well, but these tricks are no match for me."

As she spoke, she flicked her finger, and another beam of light shot towards the Heavenly Star Pearl.

Soon, the flickering images finally stopped, revealing a secluded space that looked like a cave.

A cultivator with long black and white hair was sitting cross-legged, his body surrounded by black and white lightning. It was Yan Jingchen.

The person seemed to sense something, suddenly opened his eyes, his face filled with surprise and uncertainty, and then disappeared in a streak of black and white lightning.

The image disappeared, and the Fairy of Distant Stars chuckled. With a flick of her small hand, a wisp of starlight condensed into a blue bead the size of a thumb at her fingertip.

She tossed it to Ningfa: "Ningfa, if you carry this, you'll be able to sense that person's location."

Ning Fa put the bead away, a chilling smile appearing on his face.

Then, as if he had just remembered something, he added, "By the way, Fairy Yuanxing, could you help me find another person? Her name is Fairy Lingzhi, and this is her portrait."

As he spoke, Ningfa unfurled a scroll, which depicted a young woman in a white palace dress, tall and slender, with a beauty that could rival the most beautiful women in the world—it was none other than Fairy Lingzhi.

When Ning Fa first entered the Nine Dragons Sea, he had a brief romance with her. Later, Fairy Lingzhi disappeared without a trace, seemingly taken away by people sent by her long-vanished parents.

However, Ningfa remained uneasy and planned to confirm the woman's safety before ascending to immortality.

Fairy Farstar rolled her eyes at him and muttered, "What a womanizer."

But she still made hand gestures again.

Soon, another scene appeared. It was a beautiful island with picturesque scenery. In a pavilion by the lake, a beautiful woman in a white dress was sitting on a bamboo chair, holding an ancient scroll. Her face was serene, but her beautiful eyes could not hide a hint of worry. It was Fairy Lingzhi.

Seeing that the woman was safe and sound, Ning Fa was overjoyed.

The scene shifts to another hall, where a middle-aged couple is having a gentle conversation. The couple bears a resemblance to Fairy Lingzhi and appears to be her parents. Their cultivation levels have clearly reached the Nascent Soul stage.

"So it was Chu Ruichuan and Cao Yunluo."

Looking at the two, Fairy Yuanxing was somewhat surprised, and then explained to Ningfa: "This Chu Ruichuan was originally a well-known rogue cultivator in Yuheng Sea, and a master of formations."

Cao Yunluo was the illegitimate daughter of a Nascent Soul elder in the Star Luo Palace. Later, the two had an affair, and Cao Yunluo betrayed the palace and escaped.

This woman possesses a special spiritual body that allows her to perform divination, rendering ordinary divination methods ineffective against her.

The old man Xingxuan valued her highly and asked me to locate her, but I liked the girl more, so I pointed her in a false direction.

I never imagined that your lover was actually their daughter.

Ning Fa raised an eyebrow, surprised that there was such a hidden story. No wonder Fairy Lingzhi's parents wanted to run away.

At this moment, Fairy Far Star handed him another blue bead: "You heartbreaker, do you have any other lovers you want me to help you find?"

Ning Fa smiled and said, "That's all."

Fairy Yuanxing smiled and waved her little hand at Ningfa: "Ningfa, then we'll meet again sometime."

As she spoke, amidst a dazzling array of starlight, Fairy Far Star, holding the Heavenly Star Pearl and the Myriad Star Disc, disappeared into the starlight.

Ning Fa breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know when he would see Fairy Yuanxing again.

He then grasped the round bead that pinpointed Yan Jingchen's location, a cold glint in his eyes.
