Ancient demons refine their bodies, ancient demons cultivate their thoughts, and ancient gods cultivate their laws.
Ning Fan could guess that the realm of the ancient demon must be closely related to the strength of the spiritual mind, but he did not know the specific name of the realm.
One by one, the demon cultivators from Sikong Island fled into the sky and looked at Ning Fan standing on the bow of the silver boat. They did not dare to show their anger and were extremely frightened.
The look he looked at Mingque was extremely respectful.
In particular, one of the dark-skinned young men looked at Mingque with even more respect and respect from the bottom of his heart.
The boy's bone age was only fifteen, and his cultivation level was only at the tenth level of Pulse Channeling. However, because he was a feathered demon with wings on his back, he could fly and came to greet Mingque.
But he flew at the farthest position among the crowd, obviously because of his low status, he was not qualified to worship Mingque at close range.
Ning Fan glanced at the thousands of demon cultivators on the demon island, and when he glanced at the boy, he paid attention for a moment. This young man gave Ning Fan a strange feeling, but he couldn't tell what the specific feeling was.
"Welcome back to the island owner and the high priest! I wonder why the island owner is traveling with Master Ming and others?"
Several older Demon Island masters walked out of the crowd and asked Mingque cautiously. Ning Fan has such a bad reputation that they won't rest assured unless they ask him about his purpose.
"Venerable Ming is the elder brother of the owner of this island, and he is a powerful fifth-level bakery master. For the sake of the owner of this island, he will never harm any plant or tree on Sikong Island. You can rest assured, there is no need to be so afraid. his."
Mingque's words clearly reached the ears of countless demon cultivators on the demon island. As soon as they heard that Ning Fan was not an enemy, but Mingque's brother, all the demon island monks' hearts dropped, and they were all very happy.
"It turns out that Venerable Ming is the elder brother of the island owner, a friend rather than an enemy... Haha. That's good, that's good."
Yes, that's good. If Ning Fan is an enemy rather than a friend, there is a possibility that there will be a bloodbath on Sikong Island, and no one will be able to escape alive on the island.
Who is Ning Fan? That was a ruthless person who could suppress even the Youhai Demon Clan. Naturally, a mere Sikong Yao Island would never dare to provoke Ning Fan.
While each Demon Island monk breathed a sigh of relief, they looked at Ning Fan with even more respect.
I saw that the monks from Demon Island were so respectful to Ning Fan. Mingque nodded with satisfaction and then gave instructions to the old man named Qu behind him.
"Grandpa Qu, the owner of this island will give you ten days to prepare all the items needed for the 'ancestral sacrifice'. After ten days, the owner of this island will formally accept the power of inheritance through the ancestor sacrifice ceremony. There must be no mistake." She said in a childish tone. The words were quite majestic.
"Ten days? Yes!" The old man surnamed Qu did not dare to neglect and immediately ordered people to prepare sacrifices.
And all the demon cultivators on the demon island. As soon as he heard that Mingque was about to receive Sikong's inheritance, he immediately cheered.
Letting Mingque accept Sikong's inheritance is the expectation of all demon cultivators on Demon Island. In the past, the old man named Qu did not dare to let Mingque accept the inheritance because Mingque was still weak in cultivation and worried that she would not be able to withstand the power of the inheritance.
However, now that Mingque has Ning Fan as protector, the success rate of accepting the inheritance is naturally very high, and there is no need to worry about many safety issues.
Only the dark-skinned boy, when he heard that Ming Que wanted to accept Sikong's inheritance, he immediately stopped him loudly, "No! You can't accept the inheritance!"
"How brave! You are a demon slave guarding the statue of the princess. You dare to be rude to the island owner. What crime should you be punished for!"
Hearing the young man's arrogance. Immediately, many masters of Golden Elixir and Nascent Soul scolded him harshly.
"Okay, okay! A bunch of bad old men are bullying a young man. Are you ashamed? Let's all leave. I want peace and quiet!"
Mingque gave a casual order, and immediately no one dared to reprimand the swarthy young man. The demon island monks dispersed one after another, and even the gods-formation slaves she captured became busy. Start preparing for the ancestor sacrifice ten days later.
Seeing that he had escaped unharmed, the dark-skinned young man breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Mingque with gratitude and gritted his teeth, as if he wanted to tell Mingque something.
But Mingque didn't pay attention to the boy at all. He only had Ning Fan in his eyes, so he naturally ignored the boy's expression.
After dismissing all the bad old men, Mingque happily picked up Ning Fan and led Su Yan to visit Sikong Yao Island.
"Brother Pancake, would you like to play with Mingque on the island for a few days?" Mingque begged softly, with an innocent expression that showed no trace of the majesty he had given to the demon cultivators before.
Back then, Ming Que was just a simple little alchemy demon. Now, after being tempered by life and death in the Endless Sea, he has already learned how to distinguish people's hearts. After becoming the master of Sikong Island, he has accumulated the majesty of the island master and also has a sinister personality.
But no matter what, in front of Ning Fan, she will always be the innocent and lively Dan Mo she was back then and will not change.
"good."
Naturally, Ning Fan would not refuse Mingque's request, but when he left, he looked at the dark-skinned young man with deep meaning, and conveyed his message into the secret, and gave the young man some instructions.
When the young man heard Ning Fan's order, his expression immediately trembled. He was a little scared, but he nodded hastily, not daring to refuse Ning Fan's order.
Ning Fan, along with Ming Que and Su Yan, spent two days playing on Sikong Yao Island.
During the two days, Ning Fan asked Ming Que many questions related to the ancient demon realm without hesitation, but he did not receive satisfactory answers.
There is nothing that can be done about it. Mingque is completely confused about things like 'ancient demons' and 'ancient demons', and has no information at all.
Although there is a little ancient demon power in her body, she has no idea where this power comes from.
However, Mingque told Ning Fan that in her dreams, she had dreamed of a power similar to that of the ancient demon.
The acquisition of this kind of power seems to be closely related to the 'ancestral sacrifices' of the major demon clans. It is necessary to obtain some kind of 'demon blood mark' through ancestor sacrifices before one can truly gain power, but the specific method is unknown.
In fact, although Mingque has some ancient demon power in his body, he does not have the special demon blood mark, so he cannot be regarded as a true ancient demon.
Ancestral sacrifices are different from ordinary demon sacrifices. Special ancestral demon relics must be used to carry out the sacrifices.
This time, Mingque needs to perform an ancestral sacrifice to obtain Sicang's inherited power.
And the ancestral demon relic used in her ancestral sacrifice was the huge statue of the goddess.
Although he didn't figure out the name of the ancient demon's realm or its cultivation methods in the end, Ning Fan more or less figured out some things.
Ning Fan has the blood of Fuli Demon. If he wants to return to his ancestors and become an ancient demon, he needs at least one relic left by Fuli's ancestor. And through the ancestral sacrifice ceremony, they can obtain special powers similar to the ancestral symbols of the demon clan. Only then can one become a true ancient demon.
But it is a pity that the Fuli clan has been extinct for a long time, and there is no chance that there will be any relics left by Fuli's ancestors in the world. Even if Ning Fan figured out how to become an ancient demon, he still wouldn't be able to cultivate into one.
After understanding this, Ning Fan stopped asking the ancient demon any more questions and simply spent two days playing with Mingque.
Two days later, at the strong request of the old man named Qu, Mingque began to practice in seclusion. In order to obtain the inheritance in the best condition, it can no longer be played.
The place where she retreats for cultivation is a quiet cold pool, which has the miraculous effect of tempering demonic power.
Ning Fan was not at ease when Ming Que was soaking in the deep pool alone, so he asked Su Yan to take a bath with Ming Que. Take care of the sparrows by the way.
Ning Fan himself returned to the guest house on the Demon Island, also preparing for the inheritance of the ancient demon eight days later.
The guest house where he lives is not far from the deep pool where Mingque and Su Yan retreat. If anything happens to the two girls, Ning Fan can respond at any time.
This is a guest house built by hollowing out a giant tree. It is surrounded by Sikong Island's unique demon-spotted bamboo, which exudes the pure fragrance of bamboo leaves.
Outside the guest house, in the bamboo forest, stood a swarthy young man respectfully. He had been waiting for Ning Fan outside the guest house for two days. He was the young man who dissuaded Mingque from accepting the inheritance.
When Ning Fan came to the guest house, the dark-skinned boy immediately trembled and looked slightly frightened, obviously afraid of Ning Fan.
"Shen, see Master Ming." The young man made a plop. He knelt down on the ground and kowtowed several times to Ning Fan.
"Yes." Ning Fan casually rolled his sleeves. The wind came out of my sleeves and helped the young man up.
Two days ago, Ning Fan asked the young man to come to the guest house and wait for him. If he had anything to say, he would personally ask the young man.
When the young man heard that Ning Fan had something to ask, he didn't dare to neglect it. Although his cultivation level is low, he still lives in the inner sea. I had heard many rumors about Ning Fan killing people in cold blood, and I was afraid of Ning Fan to the core.
He was one of the demon slaves guarding the statue of the princess, and he could not leave his post without permission.
But as soon as some deacons and elders heard that Ning Fan was going to summon him, they immediately relieved him of all his duties and ordered him to wait for Ning Fan here in the guest house without assigning him any work.
There were even several demon island elders who told the young man that if Ning Fan asked him any questions, he must tell him everything. Even if he asked about the secrets of the demon island, there was no need to hide anything.
The young man was extremely uneasy. He didn't know what Ning Fan had called him to ask about.
When he thought that he was facing a big demon who was famous in the rain world, the young man became even more nervous and his legs started to tremble a little.
"Don't be nervous, I have something to ask you, just answer it truthfully. If you answer truthfully, I will not hurt your life, but will give you some pills."
"Elixir?! Yes, senior, if you have something to say, please ask. I will definitely tell you everything!" When he heard that there was an elixir as a reward, the young man's eyes suddenly became intense, and his fear of Ning Fan faded a bit.
As a young and humble demon slave, if Ning Fan wanted to know something, he could just search his soul and destroy his memory without asking any unnecessary questions.
No matter what kind of harm a mere demon slave receives, no one will care about it. This is the cruel reality of the cultivation world.
Just like there are demon slaves disappearing mysteriously recently, but no one is seriously trying to track them down.
If other demon cultivators wanted to know something, they might just search the young man's soul and destroy his memory.
But Ning Fan was not so cruel, and even promised to give the boy a reward for answering the questions. This made the boy excited, but he couldn't help but feel that Ning Fan was not as cold-blooded and ruthless as the outside world rumored.
"Who is your surname? Do you have any position on Sikong Yao Island?"
"This junior's name is Lin Yu, and he is one of the demon slaves guarding the statue of the princess." Lin Yu said respectfully.
"Why did you dissuade Mingque from carrying out ancestral sacrifices that day? And..." Ning Fan paused, and his expression suddenly became sharp, "Where did the animal tooth pendant around your neck come from!"
Ning Fan paid some attention to the boy that day, but now after closer inspection, he discovered that there was a very weak trace of ancient demon power in the boy's body. This power was radiated from the animal tooth pendant around the boy's neck.
"This animal tooth was accidentally picked up by this junior. I made it into a pendant by myself. It is definitely not stolen. Senior, please trust me! As for the reason why this junior dissuaded the island owner from accepting the inheritance, it is just because...just because..." The young man saw Ning Fan His eyes were sharp, and he immediately became afraid.
"Just because of what!"
"Just because I was guarding the statue of the princess one night, I saw some 'unclean things' under the statue. It seemed to be some kind of monster. It swallowed several monster slaves and escaped into the statue. And. The animal tooth on the pendant was picked up at that time and was left by the monster. The junior is convinced that there must be a monster alive in the statue. If the island owner rashly accepts the inheritance of the statue, it may be dangerous. ..." The young man's tone was trembling, but his expression was sincere and showed no signs of hypocrisy.
"monster?"
Ning Fan frowned. Could any monster survive among the beautiful statues?
The statue was filled with the power of countless incense. Even Ning Fan's spiritual thoughts could not break into the statue. What kind of monster with such powerful powers could actually enter the statue.
Recalling the day he entered the Demonic Island, Ning Fan noticed the strange twinkling in the statue's eyes and suddenly became silent.
Thinking again that the monster would leave behind a tooth with the power of the ancient monster... Ning Fan suddenly focused his eyes.
"Is there an ancient demon alive in that statue?!"
Ning Fan glanced at the young man's pendant beast tooth, and felt a hint of aura from the beast tooth.
If there really is an ancient demon in the statue, then this ancient demon must still be an ancient demon in the realm of Chongxu...
"Here is a bottle of second-level elixir that can help you break through the spirit-melting realm."
Ning Fan patted his storage bag, took out a bottle of elixir, threw it to the young man, and told him to leave.
When the young man saw the elixir in the bottle, he immediately showed surprise and thanked Ning Fan profusely before leaving.
Ning Fan fled away and went to the statue of the princess to investigate for a long time, but he was still unable to intrude his spiritual thoughts into the statue. He could not find out any details about the ancient demon, but he really found some traces of the powerful Void Chong in the statue. Remaining breath.
The aura is extremely light and cannot be detected by ordinary people. Only Ning Fan, a high-level alchemist with keen perception, can detect it.
There was a very faint aura of the ancient demon in that aura.
"There is indeed an ancient demon inside the statue. This ancient demon is hiding in the statue, and outsiders cannot enter the statue. Unless the statue is smashed, he cannot be forced out... Mingque still needs the statue to obtain the power of inheritance, naturally Don’t smash the statue. In that case, if this ancient demon doesn’t show up on its own initiative, I won’t be able to meet it.”
"I wonder if this ancient demon will bring about changes when Mingque accepts the inheritance in eight days... The ancient demon in the Chongxu realm should not be underestimated... If he has no intention of harming Mingque, I will not bother Take action against him. But if he dares to cause any trouble... he will die!"
...
In the statue, wrapped in a ball of pure white incense power, a monster in the form of a white tiger is lurking and practicing.
The demonic beast exuded an aura of Chongxu level, as if it was in a false slumber, and its mouth was stained with blood and fur from swallowing a living person.
"Damn it, there seem to be two masters on the demon island. Their aura is not too weak. Fortunately, they don't seem to have discovered my existence yet. But it seems that I can't easily leave the statue and eat living people. ..”
These two masters naturally refer to Ning Fan and Su Yan.
Although this white tiger is strong, it seems to be quite timid.
His realm is obviously higher than that of Su Yan and Ning Fan, but he seems to be extremely afraid of them.
"It seems that the inheritance of ancestral sacrifices will officially begin on Demon Island. Alas, although I can hide in the statues and use the power of incense to practice, I cannot directly swallow the power of these incense. These incense are all dedicated to the owner of the statue. Generally speaking, , only the owner of the statue can absorb the power of incense. But..."
Bai Hu suddenly sneered.
"The person who accepted the incense inheritance this time is the island owner of this demon island. He is just a junior who transforms into gods, and is very easy to deal with. After this junior absorbs the incense inheritance from the statue, I can indirectly obtain the incense by eating this junior again. The power. In eight days, the inheritance will begin, and then I will take action against that junior!"
