Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 905 Reunion with Wu Hong
Soon after, the airship stopped at a location on the mountainside of Binghua Mountain.

Below them was a white stone plaza, more than ten miles long and wide, in which stood a magnificent palace.

This is one of the teleportation halls of the Ice Spirit Palace, which contains a teleportation array built with the help of the Spirit Pivot Pavilion, providing direct access to Shenwu City in the southern part of the Martial Kingdom.

After waiting there for a while, another Nascent Soul stage elder from the Ice Spirit Palace arrived, along with more than ten Core Formation cultivators.

These people were naturally surprised to see Ning Fa.

After another introduction, the group entered the hall.

As the central teleportation array flickered several times, the group disappeared one after another.

Shortly afterward, in another solemn hall.

Deep within this main hall, there were seven teleportation arrays arranged in a row, all emitting a faint white light and in an activated state.

Not far away, there was a group of armored cultivators guarding the area. Their leader was a woman in red armor who looked heroic and was clearly at the peak of the Core Formation stage.

The woman sat behind a desk, her delicate brows slightly furrowed, looking somewhat absent-minded, and glancing at the palace entrance from time to time.

Not long after, a series of steady footsteps were heard, and a tall, muscular, bald man strode in. He was a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator.

Upon seeing this person arrive, the woman in red armor immediately stood up, her eyes showing nervousness.

Her Foundation Establishment stage subordinates also looked over with curiosity, and many of them also showed anticipation.

The bald, burly man strode up to the woman in red armor and said casually, "Senior Sister Wu, the new Star Ranking is out, where are you ranked..."

At this point, the bald, burly man chuckled and stopped talking.

The woman in red armor was immediately enraged. She raised her right hand, which was glowing with crimson light, and said angrily, "At a time like this, you're still keeping me in suspense! Speak up!"

The bald, burly man chuckled and touched his bald head before saying seriously, "Congratulations, Senior Sister Wu, you've ranked eighty-seventh on the Star Ranking this time."

According to past practice, you are entitled to a drop of diluted Kunxia Secret Water from Ling Shu Pavilion.

Although it's diluted secret water, with Senior Sister's aptitude and the sect's assistance, her chances of forming a Nascent Soul are quite high.

Upon hearing this, the woman in red armor seemed relieved, her previously tense face finally relaxed, and a smile blossomed on her face.

Entering the Star Ranking is not only a symbol of strength and status, but also brings substantial benefits.

The Star Ranking still lists 150 Core Formation cultivators, divided into six levels:

The top ten, the eleventh to thirtieth, and finally, every thirtieth place forms a tier.

Cultivators who enter the list for the first time, as well as those who make a leap in the Star Ranking for the first time, can receive a precious spiritual item from the Spirit Pivot Pavilion.

If it is on the verge of breaking through to a higher realm, then this spiritual item is very likely a breakthrough spiritual item; otherwise, it may be a high-quality magic weapon or an ancient treasure that has not yet recognized a master.

Once you reach the fourth level, you will be eligible to receive a Nascent Soul Spiritual Object from the Spirit Pivot Pavilion. The higher the level, the more precious this Nascent Soul Spiritual Object becomes.

Even the most ordinary diluted Kunxia Secret Water can only increase the chances of Nascent Soul formation by less than half a percent, which is still extremely tempting.

The best Nascent Soul spiritual items from the Spirit Pivot Pavilion can even increase the probability of Nascent Soul formation by about 15%.

However, only those in the top two ranks of the Star Ranking and recognized by the Spirit Pivot Pavilion as having potential have a chance to obtain such a precious item.

It can be said that the Ling Shu Pavilion's rewards have played a significant role in the fact that the Cangyuan cultivation world has been able to produce so many Nascent Soul cultivators over the years.

This is why the woman in red armor was so nervous earlier.

Because in previous Star Rankings, she had been hovering around the 90s, which was still at the fifth level, and she was not qualified to obtain a Nascent Soul Spirit Item.

So even though she was fully capable of reaching the Nascent Soul stage, she held back and even continued to lead dangerous missions on the front lines.

Furthermore, she had a premonition that her ranking on the Star Ranking would improve after killing a fellow Tianli cultivator six months ago.

And now it has indeed come to pass.

In this way, with this drop of diluted Kunxia Secret Water, plus the Nascent Soul Spiritual Item that can be obtained from the sect,

Then she would have about a 10% chance of successfully forming a Nascent Soul, which is quite a high probability.

Thinking of this, the woman in red armor was immediately in a good mood and said with a smile, "Thank you for your trouble, junior brother. I'll treat you to a good meal later."

By the way, show me the latest star rankings.

The bald, burly man chuckled and handed a jade slip to the woman in red armor.

Just then, a buzzing sound suddenly came from behind, and everyone immediately turned around to look.

One of the seven teleportation arrays was shining brightly, clearly indicating that someone was about to be teleported over.

The woman in red armor, holding the jade slip, said in a deep voice, "This is a teleportation array to the Ice Spirit Palace. It seems the Ice Plains Alliance has sent people to provide support." With that, she immediately walked towards it, and the bald, burly man followed.

Several figures appeared amidst the intense white light of the teleportation array; they were Ning Fa, Ye Xuanqing, and others.

"Wu Hong (He Tao) of Shenxin Sect greets all the seniors of Bingling Palace."

The woman in red armor and the bald, burly man both bowed respectfully with their hands clasped in a fist salute.

At this moment, Ning Fa first looked around curiously, then his gaze settled on the woman in red armor, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

He knew Wu Hong of the Divine Heart Sect, and they even had a certain degree of friendship.

When the goddess Zhu Lingyun wanted him to accompany her to Gray Luo Island, she promised to provide Ning Fa with a batch of precious spiritual items. The person the goddess sent to make contact at that time was Wu Hong.

Unexpectedly, the first acquaintance Cang Yuan met upon his return was her.

At this moment, Wu Hong also felt Ning Fa's gaze and couldn't help but look up.

Upon seeing Ning Fa, who was smiling at her, she was stunned, as was the bald, burly man; both of them had expressions of utter disbelief.

The cultivators of the Ice Spirit Palace naturally knew what was going on, and immediately smiled without saying a word.

"You, you, you are Ning Fa? Didn't you already perish?" Wu Hong pointed at Ning Fa, speechless.

Ning Fa smiled and said, "Fellow martial artist, I encountered an accident before and was unfortunately trapped in a place for a long time. I have finally returned now."

It seems that Fellow Martial Artist's cultivation has advanced further, reaching the nascent infant stage. I, Ning, wish you a successful Nascent Soul formation.

Wu Hong and the bald, burly man still looked incredulous, but when they noticed Ning Fa's cultivation level, their eyes widened even more.

Wu Hong exclaimed in shock, "Fellow Daoist Ning, no, Senior Ning, you... you're already a Nascent Soul cultivator?"

"By chance and a bit of luck, I managed to successfully form my Nascent Soul," Ning Fa said with a calm smile.

Wu Hong took a deep breath, her expression gradually regaining its composure, but the look in her eyes showed that she was still not recovered from the shock.

After all, Ning Fa was no ordinary person. His previous momentum could be described as being at its zenith, ranking first on the Star Ranking alongside Wang Xuance of the Taiqing Sect.

Moreover, the crucial point is that Ning Fa is significantly younger than Wang Xuance, which further illustrates his formidable potential.

At that time, Ning Fa was already considered to have strength close to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator. Now that he has returned after forming his Nascent Soul, how strong is his true strength?
At this moment, Ning Fa couldn't wait to ask, "Fellow Martial Daoist, do you know what the situation of Huayu Sect and Ning Family has been like these past few years?"

After saying that, Ning Fa couldn't help but show a nervous look in his eyes.

After all, Shenwu City is very close to the Yunxi Mountains of Xu Kingdom, and because of him, Elder Ning Zhongyuan of the Ning family is also acquainted with Wu Hong, so Wu Hong should know quite a bit about it.

Wu Hong's face froze for a moment, and a look of difficulty flashed in her eyes, as if she didn't know how to say it.

Upon seeing this, Ning Fa's expression darkened, but he remained calm and said, "What exactly is the situation, Fellow Martial Artist? Please speak freely."

Wu Hong gave a wry smile and pondered for a moment before saying, "Senior Ning, there's no need to worry too much. As far as I know, both the Huayu Sect and the Ning family are currently able to maintain their current situation, but... the situation is indeed not very good right now."

Upon hearing this, Ning Fa's face immediately darkened, a sharp, cold light flashed in his eyes, and an astonishing aura of killing intent suddenly emanated from his body.

The sheer intensity of this malevolent aura instantly made the entire hall feel as if it were standing on the edge of an abyss of ice.

But in the blink of an eye, this malevolent aura vanished without a trace.

Mu Nianfeng, Ruan Bingxin, Ye Xuanqing, and other Nascent Soul cultivators from the Ice Spirit Palace stared at Ning Fa in astonishment, their eyes flashing with shock and apprehension.

Just moments before that murderous aura was revealed, even those with their cultivation levels felt a sense of dread.

This shocked them. Just how many cultivators did Ning Fa have to kill to have such a strong murderous aura?
People like Ruan Bingxin and Ye Xuanqing had witnessed Ning Fa's previous attacks and knew that Ning Fa was definitely not an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator.

Meanwhile, the other Ice Spirit Palace cultivators, such as Mu Nianfeng, were filled with astonishment, only then realizing that the former top of the Star Ranking was indeed no ordinary person.

In fact, although Ning Fa had only been a Nascent Soul cultivator for a little over ten years, the number of Nascent Soul cultivators who had died at his hands was quite large, numbering more than a dozen.

Furthermore, there were many mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators among them, and some of them were even stronger than others of the same level.

Not to mention that when he was still in the Core Formation stage, he killed even more Core Formation cultivators, so it's understandable that he had such a heavy aura of malevolence.

At this moment, Ning Fa had regained his composure and calmly asked, "What exactly is the trouble, Fellow Martial Daoist? Please tell me."

Wu Hong's bitter smile deepened: "I don't know how to begin. Anyway, Senior Ning is back now and should be able to find out the details soon. I believe these troubles will be easily resolved."

"And rest assured, senior, as far as I know, most of the key figures from both the Huayu Sect and the Ning family are still alive."

Ning Fajian frowned slightly. He could tell that Wu Hong seemed to have something she couldn't say, so he didn't ask any more questions. What the woman said also put him at ease.

Anyway, he was going back soon, and he wanted to see what trouble the Huayu Sect and the Ning family were facing.
