The Fate of Eternal Life

Chapter 62 Ruthless Dao Fruit: Tampering with the Grand Duke!

"It's nothing, I'm just a little panicked."

Ning Qing's dry laughter reached Ye Fan's ears, drawing a suspicious look from him.

"Wait, do you know her background? Or do you know something else..." Ye Fan thought of the big black dog's strange behavior, and a blazing light flashed in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Ning Qingyi couldn't help but look over again.

The little girl, about three or four years old, looked like a delicate porcelain doll, with long eyelashes that were incredibly endearing. She played happily with Jiang Tingting, the two girls getting along very well. Even the Black Emperor became their mount, letting them do whatever they wanted.

To anyone who looks at it, the scene is beautiful.

But to Ning Qing, it was like dancing on a grave—his grave, no less—which was anything but cheerful.

"Don't ask anymore. All I can tell you is that this little girl has an extraordinary background. Treat her well, and you won't go wrong." Ning Qingyi sighed, but her tone was very firm.

Seeing his expression, Ye Fan knew he wouldn't get anything out of him, so he said, "This girl is indeed very extraordinary. The first time I met her was three years ago, when she..."

Ye Fan recounted in detail how he met Xiao Nannan, and how he nearly died during the escape from the Bronze Immortal Palace, and how Xiao Nannan gave him a seven-colored stone to save his life.

"...She was almost dead, so I vowed then and there that I would take good care of this child." Ye Fan said earnestly, but his eyes couldn't help but drift towards Ning Qingyi.

Upon seeing this, Ning Qing couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Don't look. Some things change once you know them. In short, just do good deeds and don't worry about the future!"

Ye Fan was speechless. Just then, Jiang Tingting walked over with Xiao Nannan.

"Master, I want to take Xiaonannan to Yaochi for a stroll," Jiang Tingting said happily.

"Big brother, I want to go out and play with the big sister." The little girl blinked and looked at Ye Fan, her little mouth pink and cute.

Ye Fan said, "Go ahead, but don't go too far."

The little girl nodded vigorously, but when she saw Ning Qingyi, she suddenly froze, biting her finger and staring blankly.

"Big brother, who is he?" The little girl was a bit confused. "I feel like I've seen him somewhere before."

Ning Qing felt a sudden alarm, as if she were hearing the words of death.

Ye Fan said softly, "This is my older brother's good friend."

Jiang Tingting proudly introduced, "Little girl, this is my master!"

Ning Qingyi's tense body gradually relaxed, and he tried to soften his tone: "Hello little girl, from now on you can treat me as your big brother too."

"No!" The little girl refused decisively, making Ning Qing's heart skip a beat: "There's only one big brother!"

Ning Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and Jiang Tingting also said, "Little Nannan is right. Little Nannan and I are good friends, so I should call Master Uncle!"

The little girl nodded seriously and said, "Uncle!"

Ning Qingyi felt relieved and smiled, "Calling me Uncle is fine too. Alright, Tingting, you take Xiaonannan and have a good time exploring Yaochi. But there are a lot of people coming to Yaochi lately, so remember to call me if you run into any trouble... Never mind, here you go, and here you go to Xiaonannan."

As soon as he finished speaking, two artifacts flew out from his sea of ​​consciousness: a small cauldron and a lapis lazuli pagoda, each strung together with a rope and placed on the two men.

"I understand. Thank you, Master!"

"Thank you, Uncle!"

Ye Fan, who was standing to the side, stared wide-eyed at the sight of the two artifacts: "You're giving these two things to them?!"

"Young Ye, what are you surprised about?" The big black dog looked at him suspiciously. Its dog nose could detect that these two things were extraordinary.

"Cough cough, it's nothing." Ye Fan quickly covered it up. This big black dog was a greedy creature who would rather die than be caught. If he found out the truth, something bad might happen.

Ning Qingyi said, "Safety is the most important thing. Black Emperor, keep an eye on them and make sure nothing happens. Yaochi has been in a bit of a mess lately."

Black King barked, its face full of arrogance: "Who am I? In Yaochi, I'm no different from anyone else in my own home. I'd like to see who dares to lay a hand on me. I'm leaving."

With a swagger, Hei Huang walked out of the hermitage, preparing to take Xiao Nannan and Jiang Tingting to stroll around the Peach Garden and soak in the Jade Pool Spring.

Inside the hermitage, only the two of them remained.

"Ye Fan, let me see your Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron," Ning Qingyi said earnestly.

Ye Fan was also very magnanimous, and a small cauldron immediately flew out from his sea of ​​consciousness.

This cauldron is extraordinary. It is entirely yellow, with three legs and two handles. It is simple and natural, and faintly conveys the feeling of the beginning of heaven and earth and the natural way of the Tao.

It is not very big, even small, but it gives people a sense of grandeur and magnificence. It is not like a vessel, but like a world.

Within the cauldron, an even thicker twin azure lotus floated, rooted in the primordial chaos. It was none other than the Chaos Azure Lotus Imperial Weapon and the transformed Yan Ruyu.

"How was it?!" Ye Fan said with some pride, "If I hadn't possessed an Emperor-level artifact and had some good fortune, I wouldn't have been able to obtain this Root of All Things Mother Qi, nor would I have been able to enter the Fire Domain to refine artifacts."

Ning Qingyi examined it carefully and exclaimed in amazement, "As expected of the legendary divine material, the Primordial Primordial Qi Root, even the nine divine metals alone cannot compare to this material. The cauldron you forged has limitless potential."

Ye Fan couldn't help but smile and asked, "By the way, where's your 'weapon'?"

Ning Qingyi's Sea of ​​Wheels also released two weapons: a Dao Tribulation Golden Heart Lamp and a Divine Mark Purple Gold Immortal Bell.

"This is Dao Tribulation Gold, Divine Mark Purple Gold!" Ye Fan was somewhat surprised, then examined it closely and even sensed the aura of the Fire Domain Fire from the Heart Lamp: "You also refined artifacts in the Fire Domain?! And the seventh level of flame!"

Ning Qing nodded, acknowledging this.

Ye Fan was somewhat puzzled: "You passed on the Daoist scriptures to me, so you should understand the principle of 'one weapon can break all laws,' so why didn't you refine a powerful weapon?!"

Ning Qingyi said, "Indeed, the Wheel Sea Vessel is a vessel that carries the Dao. In ancient times, those who aspired to the path of the Emperor often only refined one great vessel, which would then transform into an invincible imperial weapon after they attained enlightenment."

Ye Fan nodded. This was true of most Heavenly Venerables and Emperors throughout history; the weapon they used to prove their Dao accompanied them on their journey of growth, ultimately becoming the weapon of an invincible world.

"However, for me, the vessel of the Sea of ​​Wheels is not merely a carrier of the Dao, but a protector, nurturer, and guide to the attainment of the Dao!" Ning Qingyi said calmly, revealing his inner thoughts: "The Heart Lamp constantly polishes the Dao Heart, the Immortal Bell chants the Heavenly Sounds of the Great Dao, and I myself will become the strongest vessel!"

Ye Fan suddenly realized, thinking of Ning Qingyi's almost invincible physical body, and felt the same way: "That's right, even a Great Perfection Saint Body can catch an Emperor Weapon with bare hands, which shows that what is invincible is the person, and the most important thing is the cultivator himself." "However, people are different and their paths are different. Perhaps for you, nurturing a Cauldron of All Things Mother Qi will allow you to achieve the Dao in the future."

Ye Fan chuckled: "Don't worry, I will definitely forge an invincible weapon to suppress the heavens and the earth!"

Seeing Ye Fan utter such "arrogant words," Ning Qingyi smiled slightly, about to say something more, when a sudden feeling arose in her heart, and her expression immediately darkened.

"What's wrong?" Ye Fan noticed the oppressive atmosphere emanating from him, then realized what was happening and asked, "Did something happen to Xiao Nannan and the others?"

Ning Qingyi sneered: "Fine, fine! There really are some blind fools who dare to mess with me. It's like provoking the Grand Duke Jupiter."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Luofu Cauldron spontaneously revived in the nearby Jade Pool Pure Land, radiating countless rays of light and auspicious colors, with a misty haze, exuding a majestic holy power that attracted countless divine thoughts.

Immediately, all the important figures visiting Yaochi turned their attention to that direction.

"Come on, let's go there!"

Ning Qingyi transformed into five-colored divine light, while Ye Fan used the Heavenly Pivot Steps to rush towards the place suppressed by the Luofu Cauldron. At the same time, many important figures set off for this place.

"Tingting, what happened?!" Ning Qing asked without even looking around as soon as she arrived at the scene, because the Luofu Cauldron had been activated on its own initiative, which was obviously Jiang Tingting's doing.

"Master!" Jiang Tingting's eyes were red, clearly very angry. "Master, they're bullying us!"

Ning Qing glanced at the little girl and saw that she was riding on the Black Emperor, looking confused. She felt a little relieved. While looking her over, she asked, "Black Emperor, what happened?"

"Woof! It's actually a great sacred artifact!" Black Emperor's eyes widened. He was just about to play dumb to fool the enemy, but suddenly a great sacred weapon appeared, almost scaring his heart out.

At this moment, there were four people standing opposite each other, clearly from the same sect. There were two elderly people, a man and a woman, both at the Great Perfection of the Dragon Transformation realm, and a young couple, who were at the Great Perfection of the Four Extremes realm.

The woman was in her early twenties, with a beautiful face and graceful figure. At this moment, her face was pale, clearly shocked by the holy might.

The man was tall and slender, with a handsome face, wearing a purple-gold crown, with black hair flowing down his shoulders, and carrying a black and white holy sword on his back, as unfathomable as the deep sea.

Ye Fan took Xiao Nannan off Hei Huang's back, bringing Hei Huang back to his senses. He chuckled and said, "Ning kid, you've come at the right time. These people from the Yin-Yang Sect want to kidnap your disciple and Xiao Nannan and make them some kind of Yin maidens!"

"Yin Yang Sect, Yin Woman." These two keywords reached Ning Qingyi's ears, instantly reviving some of his key memories. His killing intent descended, transforming into a tangible pressure that fell upon the people opposite him.

In that instant, the four people opposite were about to be crushed. The terrifying aura locked them in, as if the slightest movement would cause them to perish here.

"Good! Good! Good! What kind of people dare to bully me like this?" Ning Qingyi sneered, "The Yin Yang Sect, is it? Tell me, who gave you the audacity to mess with me?"

The two elders, both at the peak of the Dragon Transformation stage, changed color abruptly. One of them spoke up, "Who are you? Our sect leader is currently visiting the Queen Mother of the West at Yaochi. Don't make a mistake."

Ning Qing laughed immediately, and with a gentle wave of his hand, the Luofu Cauldron floated above his head. Its terrifying holy power caused blood to flow from his entire body: "It seems you don't want to explain yourselves. Self-inflicted trouble? If you utter those two words, after the Yaochi Conference, your Yin-Yang Sect should be prepared to have me come knocking on your door!"

"Humph!"

Ning Qingyi's lower abdomen heaved, his lungs throbbed, and his divine power was transmitted through the thirty-three tribulations of the Great Dragon Bone, converging into a Heavenly Dragon Sound that landed heavily on the four people in the arena.

"Wow!"

All four coughed up blood and slumped over, clearly suffering severe injuries. The young woman, in particular, fainted immediately.

The young man quickly activated his divine power, and a divine talisman on his body shattered. Soon after, a loud roar came from the horizon.

"Who dares to harm the holy sons and daughters of my religion!"

With awe-inspiring power, he appeared to be a powerful figure who flew down from the sky.

His hair and beard were all white. When he saw the four injured people in the field, his face turned ugly. He looked at Ning Qingyi opposite him with a very unfriendly expression. However, when he saw the Luofu Cauldron floating above Ning Qingyi's head, a trace of fear flashed through his heart.

"Young man, who are you?" asked the supreme master of the Yin-Yang Sect.

Ning Qingyi sneered: "He's smarter than your disciples and grand-disciples. He knows to look at who's on the other side before provoking them."

The Yin-Yang Sect's supreme expert's face grew increasingly gloomy: "Boy, do you really think you can run rampant in the Big Dipper just because you have a Great Sacred Artifact?"

Ning Qing retorted without backing down: "Old man, if the Great Saint Artifact isn't enough, then I'll use the Quasi-Emperor Artifact to suppress you."

With a slight wave of his hand, the Primordial Azure Pagoda flew out from the little girl's body, emanating wisps of immortal imperial might, as if it were about to crush eternity.

"It's him! Ning Qingyi!" The passerby finally realized what was happening, but there was no chance to speak for long.

"A descendant of the Lingbao Dao lineage, a quasi-emperor." Someone revealed his origins.

"He is! The leader of the Yin-Yang Sect, a living fossil who is about to step into the King Realm." Some people also recognized the identity of the Yin-Yang Sect member.

The supreme expert of the Yin-Yang Sect changed his expression again and again, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart: "Young friend Ning, I am Wang Yangzhan, the leader of the Yin-Yang Sect. I don't know how my Holy Son and Holy Daughter have offended you."

Ning Qingyi coldly said, "Your Holy Son and Holy Daughter want to turn my disciple into a Yin Maiden. Isn't that enough to provoke you?"

"Disciple, Yin Maiden?" The old leader of the Yin-Yang Sect was stunned. He first glanced at the little girl, then at Jiang Tingting, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Taiyin Body!"

These words immediately caused an uproar among those around them.

The old leader of the Yin-Yang Sect now fully understood the reason why the Holy Son and Holy Daughter had taken action. He was also extremely envious, for this was the Taiyin Body!
"Young friend Ning, you may have misunderstood. My teachings to the Holy Son and Holy Daughter may have been influenced by the fact that your sect's successor possesses the potential to become an emperor..."

"I don't care if you acted impulsively or harbored malicious intentions!" Ning Qing interrupted coldly, "If we weren't in Yaochi today, your Yin Yang Sect would be prepared to have your lineage severed if you dared to have any improper thoughts about my disciple and Xiao Nannan!"

Arrogant!

Too embarrassing!

The old leader of the Yin-Yang Sect laughed in fury: "What a quasi-emperor successor! Our sect has stood for hundreds of thousands of years, and today we are threatened by a mere cultivator at the Dragon Transformation Realm!"

"Master Wang is wrong!" Just as Ning Qingyi was about to speak, a young man stepped out from the crowd: "Tingting is a princess of my Jiang family, and also the bloodline of the current Taixu Saint. The Yin Yang Sect cannot desecrate her."

Ning Qing looked over and saw that it was Jiang Yifei.

The old leader of the Yin-Yang Sect changed his expression, his face turning pale and then red. In the end, he dared not utter any harsh words, and left in silence, angrily leading the four away.
