Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 846 The Real Treasure

"This is the Phoenix Flame Nirvana Fruit!" Su Wanwan exclaimed with delight.

Ning Fa's eyes also lit up with delight.

But when he looked around the fruit tree, he could see a layer of light that seemed almost transparent, occasionally flashing with wisps of spiritual light.

He sensed a very strong restrictive force from it.

Ning Fa seemed to be deep in thought. It seemed that this fruit tree was protected by a restriction, which explained why the fruits had been preserved to this day.

He then looked up and his eyes lit up with a strange light.

At the very top of this peculiar fruit tree, there were two unusual-looking Phoenix Flame Nero Fruits.

They were a size larger than the other fruits, with a golden-red surface and wisps of mysterious flame runes that emanated from them and disappeared into the air, making them look quite enigmatic.

At this moment, Su Wanwan exclaimed with delight, "Those two are Phoenix Flame Nirvana Fruits with a medicinal age of ten thousand years! That's wonderful!"

After saying that, she immediately looked at Ning Fa and put on a pitiful expression: "Brother Ning, you wouldn't bully a weak woman like me, would you?"

As we agreed beforehand, we're going to split any treasures we find here equally!

Ning Fa couldn't help but chuckle and said, "When have I, Ning Fa, ever gone back on my word? But these Phoenix Flame Nirvana Fruits aren't so easy to obtain; it seems there are special restrictions around them."

After hearing Ning Fa's assurance, Su Wanwan immediately felt relieved. She patted her ample chest and smiled with her eyes crinkling, "I'm so glad Brother Ning helped just now. I'll take care of this little restriction."

As soon as the woman finished speaking, a small, golden nail appeared in the blink of an eye.

She gave a soft shout, and the golden nail shot out, growing to over a foot long in the light, before firmly anchoring itself to the transparent barrier.

The barrier instantly surged with crimson flames, and its terrifying spiritual pressure increased dramatically, as if it were about to launch a counterattack.

But then, thin, golden rays of light, like cracks, shot out from the tip of the golden nail.

Immediately afterwards, the power that was about to erupt from the restriction was suppressed, and even the entire restriction's protective aura began to show crack-like golden patterns.

Ning Fa couldn't help but glance at Su Wanwan; this woman possessed quite a few strange and powerful treasures.

Soon after, with a sound like shattering glass, the protective barrier broke into pieces and dissipated into the air.

Su Wanwan glanced at Ning Fa with a smug look on her beautiful face, then eagerly flew forward.

But at this moment, Ning Fa's expression suddenly changed, and he looked around with a strange light in his eyes.

Because at the very moment the restriction shattered, he felt his Star Compass react.

This undoubtedly indicates that there should be another hidden restriction within this space.

Thinking of this, Ning Fa couldn't help but activate his Moon God Heart and use his divine sense to explore the space, but he found nothing unusual, and a look of confusion appeared in his eyes.

But he trusted his Star Compass, after all, this treasure had never disappointed him before.

Seeing that Su Wanwan had already flown to the Nero fruit tree, his expression returned to calm, and he followed suit.

At this moment, Su Wanwan carefully used a crimson curved blade to remove all four fruits from the Nero Fruit Tree and placed them in a jade box.

As the four fruits were picked, the entire fruit tree was instantly engulfed in flames and reduced to ashes.

"Hehe, this harvest is quite substantial. Not only are there two Phoenix Flame Fruits with a medicinal age of ten thousand years, but the other two are also around three thousand years old."

Su Wanwan said with a delighted expression.

She then pushed two of the jade boxes toward Ning Fa and said with a grin, "Fellow Daoist Ning, it's perfect that we each have two. You don't mind, do you?"

Ning Fa smiled and put the two fruits away, then asked, "What are your plans next? Will you continue exploring this Heavenly Molten Swamp?"

Su Wanwan's excited expression vanished, and after thinking for a moment, she shook her head: "No, after all, the Heavenly Molten Fire Swamp is quite dangerous, and there are so many cultivators of the same level."

I'm not as powerful as Brother Ning, so it's best to stop while I'm ahead.

I plan to return immediately, find a place to spend some time consolidating my cultivation level, and then embark on a long journey, while I'm at it to find the items you need.

At this point, Su Wanwan gave him a coquettish glare.

Ningfa nodded and said, "That's fine then. Let's part ways here. I still need to explore this Fire Swamp further."

The two then left the lava cave.

Su Wanwan smiled at Ning Fayan, and with a burst of red and blue light emanating from her body, she flew into the sky.

After confirming that Su Wanwan had flown far away, Ning Fa's eyes flashed with a strange light, and then he re-entered the lava cave below.

Inside the deep hall, Ningfa immediately took out a broken blue compass.

Then a tiny blue star flew out from it, drifting aimlessly into the sky and disappearing from sight.

Immediately, a layer of mysterious blue light appeared around Ning Fa's body, and then disappeared.

The next moment, Ning Fa appeared in a peculiar place. It looked like a closed cave, only a dozen or so feet long and wide, with no entrance or exit.

Ning Fa, who had been on high alert, glanced around before relaxing and then fixed his gaze on the center of the place.

There stood a three-foot-high black stone platform, upon which lay a palm-sized crimson crystal tablet.

Mysterious patterns are engraved on the surface, with streaks of crimson lightning flowing along these patterns.

One can vaguely see inside, as if a mysterious golden spiritual flame is slowly burning, emitting a special spiritual aura.

Ning Fa's eyes gleamed with a strange light. He had never expected that such a mysterious crimson crystal tablet would be placed in this hidden place.

Although he didn't know what it was, the fact that it was placed in this hidden place indicated that this treasure was extraordinary.

Ning Fa sensed that this crystal tablet was not a simple magic weapon, but rather that there was a restrictive fluctuation mixed in with it.

Thinking of this, Ning Fa's expression suddenly changed. He suddenly remembered the item left by Daoist Yanyuan that Xuanpo, the Hall Master of the Punishment Hall, had asked him to find, which was related to the restriction that sealed Yaori Peak.

Xuanpo said that thing was shaped like a stone tablet, could it be this?

Ning Fa thought about it more and more and it seemed possible, but he couldn't help but feel strange, because didn't that Senior Brother Chang say that he had already discovered that special magic artifact?
Thinking of this, Ning Fajian frowned, a look of confusion appearing in his eyes.

He felt that this matter was not so simple, and even had a vague feeling that this thing might also be closely related to Yao Ri Peak.

If that's the case, then it's possible that Daoist Yanyuan left behind more than one magical artifact, and this crimson crystal tablet in front of us might be one of them.

Moreover, he hadn't detected this item before at the array's core, and it was placed in such a special location. If he hadn't possessed the Star Compass, he wouldn't have been able to find it at all.

Compared to the other magical artifact that was easily found, it was clear that Daoist Yanyuan valued this crimson crystal tablet more.

Thinking of this, Ning Fa couldn't help but reveal a strange light in his eyes.

If his guess is true, then this crimson crystal tablet in front of him is probably no ordinary object and could very well play a significant role within Sunrise Peak.

At the same time, Ning Fa's expression suddenly changed, and another thought suddenly popped into his mind:
Could it be that the treasure Su Wanwan mentioned was nearby, and the treasure she sensed was not the Phoenix Flame Nirvana Fruit, but rather this crimson crystal tablet?

Thinking of this, Ning Fa's eyes lit up, feeling that it was very likely, which made his gaze toward the crystal tablet burn with fervor.

But he didn't act rashly; instead, he looked around.

At the edge of the cave, there were seven strange black rocks, each engraved with different mysterious symbols and shimmering with a faint spiritual light.

Ningfa could sense a faint fluctuation of divine soul emanating from these symbols.

His expression turned solemn. If his guess was correct, then this mysterious place was likely set up by that Daoist Yanyuan, and these strange black rocks were probably not simple.

But since we've come all this way, how can we leave empty-handed?

Ning Fa thought for a moment, then controlled the Star Compass in his hand. Another blue star flew out from it, disappeared into the ground.

After the Star Compass absorbed the projection given to it by Yun Jin, its power was enhanced. This ability to directly enter the interior of the restriction can now be used twice within a month.

After confirming that the Star Compass could be activated at any time, Ningfa flicked his right sleeve, and black feathers appeared amidst a flash of black light.

Without hesitation, Hei Yu walked towards the platform and grabbed the crimson crystal tablet in his hand.

Just then, the mysterious symbols on the nearby black rocks shone brightly, emanating terrifying energy.

Ningfa, who was prepared, immediately activated the compass.

A layer of blue light emanated from him and Hei Yu before they disappeared.

Immediately, a terrifying black storm erupted within the cave, instantly annihilating everything nearby.

Ningfa and Heiyu appeared at the same time in the original hall.

Black Feather transformed into a streak of light and flew into Ning Fa's storage ring. Ning Fa's expression turned solemn, and a flash of silver lightning appeared on his body. After a thunderous sound, he instantly disappeared from the spot. He activated his lightning escape technique without hesitation.

Before long, Ningfa had completely distanced himself from the lava pit.

About two hours later, in the once quiet lava hall, the light and shadow blurred in a certain spot, and a figure appeared strangely.

This was a young man who looked to be no more than twenty years old. He was tall, with a broad back and a narrow waist. He wore a black and white robe, his eyebrows were like swords, and his eyes were sharp.

What's unusual is that this person has long, flowing hair, half black and half white, with thin streaks of silver lightning shooting out from his body.

An extremely powerful spiritual pressure emanated from this person, as vast as mountains and oceans, clearly indicating that he was a powerful expert at the peak of the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

The Nascent Soul expert looked around, a look of confusion in his eyes, and muttered, "Why did that special feeling just disappear here?"

The man stood there for a long time, then suddenly his expression changed, and he took out a black triangular token with a flip of his right hand.

A voice reached his ears: "My lord, the people of Fuling Hall have found the entrance to Yaori Peak."

The man expressionlessly put away the token, took one last look at the hall, and then vanished in a flash.
