Mei Chen was still sleeping, while Ning Fan escaped into the Yuanyao world and entered the dark gold pagoda.
In the seven-story pagoda, Ning Fan waved his hand to summon ninety-nine black stars, bathing in the starlight in the sky.
Then he took out a sixth-level wound medicine, drank it, closed his eyes, and began a long process of healing.
Within the Dark Gold Pagoda, Ning Fan had been sitting there for three years before his injury healed, and only half a month had passed outside.
He slowly breathed out a sigh of relief and opened his eyes. His black eyes were like abyss, with no trace of emotion visible.
Recalling the killing of the Bone King half a month ago, it suddenly seemed like a dream.
"The Bone Emperor is a powerful enemy, and he is also the first Sui Xu that I have killed, but he is by no means the last one... Although Sui Xu is strong, he is already the most powerful person in the first step of cultivating the Tao, but he can also be killed! Han Nitian, I am walking towards you step by step..."
Ning Fan closed his eyes and looked inside, and found that the evil aura was much stronger.
Although Emperor Nirvana committed suicide, the cause of his death was due to his fight with Ning Fan, so Ning Fan was more or less contaminated with evil spirits.
Ning Fan seemed to have some realization, and he suddenly remembered a common saying in the world.
'I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me'... After killing people, they are contaminated with evil spirits. There is a principle of cause and effect in this.
"Cause and effect... If you can cut off the cause and effect, you can kill people without being infected by evil spirits... The last time I broke through to see the void, I was attacked by the fire-wielding giant because I had committed too many killings in my life and was infected with evil spirits. Too much evil spirit..."
"For four days, those true immortals and immortal emperors must have been unable to avoid fighting. They destroyed stars and killed billions at every turn. The people they killed must have been countless times more than me. But they were not challenged by the law of heaven. Presumably they did not Most people have ways to cut off cause and effect and avoid evil spirits."
Ning Fan said to himself. He just thought about these things and had no intention of erasing the evil spirit.
These evil spirits all come from killings, but the killings he committed. I have never regretted it, so there is no need to hide it.
"I have walked my way, and it is my way. There is no need to regret it."
His thoughts gradually calmed down and he began to flip through the storage bag. Among them are many trophies from this battle.
Five million golden elixir rosary beads, five thousand god-transforming rosary beads, twelve void refining rosary beads, and one rosary that shatters the fifth heaven of void...
There are countless damaged and undamaged magic weapons, and countless tattered storage bags are filled with elixirs that have been grown in the seventh area for countless years.
Ning Fan glanced briefly and made a preliminary estimate. Among these batches of elixirs, there are nearly 50 elixirs that are one hundred thousand years old, more than 3,000 elixirs that are fifty thousand years old, and more than 70,000 elixirs that are ten thousand years old. Countless thousand-year-old elixirs...
These elixirs were enough for Ning Fan to squander.
What concerned Ning Fan the most was the loot captured from the Bone Emperor.
In addition to the gold pen, the Bone Emperor's storage bag was also gloriously captured by Ning Fan.
There are a lot of good things in the Bone Emperor's storage bag, and there is even a seventh-level low-grade healing elixir.
Ning Fan thought for a moment. It’s better to leave this pill to Mei Chen.
Although Mei Chen needs to take at least a seventh-level high-grade medicine to heal her injuries, this low-grade elixir will still help her heal a little.
In addition to this elixir, there are many other elixirs in the Bone Emperor's storage bag.
Among them, there are actually four ghost beads from the first level of Shattering Void.
Ning Fan guessed. These four Void-Shattering Rosary Beads must have been acquired by the Bone Emperor when he unified the seventh region.
It is conceivable what horrific killings the Bone King committed in the seventh area back then. Even the Shattering Void Ghost killed four people...
Putting away the elixir and rosary beads, Ning Fan's eyes fell on the golden pen and the earth's brilliant fire.
The earthly glow fire book is attached to the golden pen, and the golden pen was accidentally picked up by the Bone King at the entrance to the eighth area.
The top-ranked sky frost and cold air, the top-ranked demon fire of earth veins, were actually attached to this golden pen... Where did this golden pen come from?
This is a golden pen used by an immortal. The magic weapon itself is not of high grade, but after being filled with cold air and spiritual fire, it can activate its power and draw unpredictable golden talismans to attack the enemy. It is truly extraordinary.
"Xiao You'er, can you remember where this gold pen came from?"
"Let me think about it carefully..." In the Xuanyin world, Luo You rarely fell into deep thought.
She flipped through the memories in her mind, thinking she had heard of this golden pen somewhere, but she couldn't remember it for the moment.
When her eyes were fixed on Earth Bright Fire and Bu Tian Xin, she suddenly thought about it!
"The cold air of the sky, the demonic fire of the earth veins...yes! This is one of the talisman pens of the Golden Talisman Palace!"
"Golden Talisman Palace?" This was the first time Ning Fan had heard of the name of the Golden Talisman Palace.
"The Golden Talisman Palace is an ancient force located in the Southern Immortal Realm. It was destroyed by humans tens of millions of years ago, so my sister couldn't remember it for a while...it wasn't until she saw the frost and fire in the sky that she recalled it."
Luo You paused for a moment, as if trying to remember, and then continued, "The Golden Talisman Palace is a talisman cultivating sect. The disciples of the sect are good at making and drawing talismans. Everyone has a golden pen magic weapon. The golden pen is not only a tool for making talismans." , and it is a token of identity as a member of the Golden Talisman Palace. Without a gold pen, you cannot enter the ruins of the Golden Talisman Palace... Look at this gold pen, is there someone’s name and position marked on it?”
Hearing this, Ning Fan looked at the gold pen carefully and saw a line of ancient inscriptions at the end of the gold pen.
"Deacon of the Treasury of Jin Fu Palace...Zuo Jie..." Ning Fan read.
"Giggle, my brother is really lucky. Although the Golden Talisman Palace was destroyed, there are still 108 treasuries in the ruins that are in a sealed state. If my brother one day flies up to the Southern Immortal Realm and goes to the ruins of the Golden Talisman Palace, with this golden pen You can take out the treasures from the treasury that Zuo Jie guarded back then~ Those are the treasures guarded by an immortal, there must be a lot of good things." Luo You chuckled.
"In addition to being a magic weapon for drawing talisman, does this golden pen have such a use? So, if I have the opportunity to go to the Nantian Immortal Realm, I must go to the Golden Talisman Palace." Ning Fan nodded.
"If you want to go to the Golden Talisman Palace, you'd better have a true immortal cultivation level before going...The water in the Golden Talisman Palace is a bit deep, and if your cultivation level is low, you may die in the ruins. Do you know that back then, the Golden Talisman Palace Why was it destroyed?" Luo You stopped teasing and said seriously.
"Why?"
"The founder of the Golden Talisman Palace was the person who painted the second of the Four Ancient Pictures! The Golden Talisman Palace was destroyed because it was involved in the secrets of the Four Ancient Pictures!"
"Another Four Ancient Pictures?" Ning Fan was surprised.
"The four ancient pictures are all specially made ancient pictures, containing the Great Way... The first ancient picture is called the 'Ancient Fishing Capsule Picture', which contains the 'Path of Life and Death', similar to your level of cultivation. If you obtain the Ancient Fishing Capsules Figure, if you understand the way of life and death, it will be easy to overcome life and death and ascend to immortality!"
"The second map in ancient times. Its name is the 'Golden Sky Black Map', which contains the Yin and Yang Dao. It can help true immortals break through the reality of Yin and Yang, understand the truth of Dao, and gain the opportunity to become an Immortal Emperor! Of course, you are a practitioner of Yin and Yang transformation , if you get the Jintianhei map, it will definitely be of great benefit to your practice of Yin and Yang changes."
Luo You sighed lightly. She had also looked for the Jintianhei map back then. If she could get this picture, she wouldn't settle for the next best thing and choose the yin and yang transformation to practice revenge.
"Can you ascend to immortality with the Ancient Fishing Capsule Map? Get the Golden Sky and Black Map. Can you become an Immortal Emperor?"
Ning Fan was slightly shocked. The Ancient Fishing Capsule Map was just that, but the Golden Sky and Black Map would definitely make countless true immortals fight for the chance to become the Immortal Emperor!
No wonder the Golden Talisman Palace was destroyed, and everyone was innocent. The crime of having a jade...
And now that the whereabouts of Jin Tianhei's map are unknown, many map-seeking immortals will surely target the ruins of Jinfu Palace.
The golden pen in Ning Fan's hand can open one of the 108 treasuries in the ruins of the Golden Talisman Palace. If some true immortals find out that he holds the golden pen, I wonder if they will snatch it...
"That is to say. If it is not necessary, shouldn't this gold pen be taken out and shown to others?" Ning Fan asked.
"Well, let's put this pen away for now. This golden talisman that can outline is indeed a powerful magic weapon, but it involves the secrets of the four ancient pictures. It's best not to use it casually." Luo You warned.
"I understand. Let's put this gold pen away for now. As for the Golden Talisman Palace... I'll go there when I get the chance. If I don't have enough cultivation, I don't want to go to the ruins of the Golden Talisman Palace and die..."
Ning Fan took out the cold air from the gold pen and immediately put the gold pen away.
Looking at the golden spiritual fire and black cold air dancing in front of him, the corners of Ning Fan's mouth slightly raised.
"After devouring these two groups of cold spiritual fires, I gathered twenty four kinds of sky frost and earth fires. The yin and yang demonic fire that was fused must be comparable to the seventh-level top-grade fairy and void fire, both for alchemy and for alchemy. Casting spells will be of great benefit!”
Ning Fan calmed down and began to refine the last two types of heavenly frost and earthly fire.
Along with the refining of the Earth's Radiant Fire and the Bending Heart, the left half of Ning Fan's body seemed to be burning, rising into raging golden fire, while the right half of his body seemed to be frozen, condensing into a black ice sculpture.
On the seventh floor of the pagoda, another six months had passed. Ning Fan suddenly opened his eyes, and all the golden fire and black ice were absorbed into his body.
He suddenly stood up and suddenly raised his hand, a ball of terrifying black fire leaping in his palm.
This black fire is obviously the fusion of countless low-level spiritual fires and cold energy, but its fire power is comparable to the seventh-level high-grade immortal fire!
It should be noted that even if the Pill Emperor holds a quarter of pure Yang Fire, it is only equivalent to a seventh-level mid-grade flame.
Ning Fan fused all the heavenly frost and earthly fire, and the flame level was even higher than that of the Pill Emperor!
"Everyone come down, it's time to repair the fire puppet."
Ning Fan put the black fire into his body, patted the storage bag, and took out a fiery red doll riddled with holes.
Looking at the serious injuries suffered by the puppet, Ning Fan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
The Bone King is really powerful. He was injured and fell to the level of Shattered Void, and he was able to half-destroy the fire-wielding giant with one blow.
If the Bone Emperor were at his peak, he would probably not be much weaker than the Nirvana Emperor.
"Fortunately, this puppet has not been completely destroyed, and there is still a possibility of repairing it. However, if you want to repair a Shattered Void Puppet, the amount of immortal jade required is not a small amount..."
Ning Fan gave Huangquan Demon City billions of immortal jade to defend the city, but he had very few immortal jade left.
But he still has Dao Crystals, which are equivalent to tens of billions of immortal jade, which is more than enough to repair Shattered Void Puppet.
"let's start..."
He sacrificed the doll, and the doll immediately grew in the wind and turned into a huge flaming giant.
Ning Fan surrounded the giant's body and began to arrange a large formation on the ground to repair the puppet.
It must take a lot of time to repair the fire-wielding giant.
...
Ning Fan spent nearly four years in the Dark Gold Pagoda, and only half a month passed in the outside world.
Half a month later, Meichen had already woken up.
She was wearing a single coat, sitting on the bedside, staring blankly at the misty rain outside the window.
She still remembered how shocked she was when she woke up half a month ago and heard the news of the Bone King's death!
"Although this stinky man is a bit shameless, he fought tooth and nail for me, for Huangquan Demon City and the Bone Emperor... Hey... why does he treat me so well..."
"It's obvious that he's just peeking at Suixu, but he goes to fight Suixu to the death. Isn't he afraid?"
Meichen's injuries have now been completely stabilized. Restored to Shaoxu First Level Cultivation. But if you want to restore the cultivation level of the third level of Shaoxu, you have to take a seventh-level high-grade elixir.
Mu Xiaoliang stayed with Meichen. Hearing Mei Chen's sigh, he immediately held up his cheeks with his bare hands, showing an expression of fascination and emotion.
"Sister Meichen, Ning Fan is so kind to us, how can we repay him?"
"Yes, how can I repay him? Do I really want to be his demon pet and repay him?" Mei Chen thought this way. Immediately I felt chilly all over.
"Bah, I would rather die than become his demon pet!!!"
While Mei Chen was talking to herself, a teasing voice suddenly sounded.
"Xiao Hei, you are not good again. If you don't want to be your demon pet for me, who do you want to be your demon pet for? If you become your demon pet for someone else, I will be angry."
Ning Fan was dressed in white and walked into the house with the corners of his mouth raised.
After he left Yuanyao world. I have taken away all the rosary beads from Huangquan Demon City and came here leisurely.
As soon as he saw Ning Fan, Mu Xiaoliang's face turned red with embarrassment, while Mei Chen's pretty face turned black.
"I won't let you become your demon pet even if I die!"
"You hate me so much?" Ning Fan continued to tease.
"It's necessary! You're so shameless!" Mei Chenxin said bluntly.
"Really? It turns out that you don't want to be my demon pet, which is a headache... I originally thought of a way. We can take you and Wei Liang directly out of the demon forest and see the outside world, but you But you don't want to be my demon pet, so I can't take you away..." Ning Fan sighed deliberately.
"What! You actually have a way to make the ghosts and monsters in the Demonic Forest leave the Demonic Forest?! How is this possible!"
Mei Chen was shocked. The Demonic Ghost Forest is a land of nine yins, belonging to the underworld where ghosts live. Ghosts in the underworld cannot go to the outside world of yang, otherwise they will turn into ashes and die.
Even if you hide in the cave space and are taken out, you can only live in the cave and never leave the cave for even half a step.
Even if the Bone Emperor wants to leave the Demonic Forest, he still needs to spend a lot of time to condense the true soul clone...
It's really incredible that Ning Fan has a way to lead ghosts directly out of the Demonic Forest.
If other people said this, Mei Chen would not believe it, but Ning Fan always spoke truthfully. If he said there was a way, there must be a way.
It's a pity that Mei Chen wanted to leave the Demonic Forest and see the outside world more than those ghosts.
She is the only monster in the Demonic Forest - Huangquan Marten. She practices by swallowing ghosts. Unlike other ghosts, she has died once and has seen the colorful world outside.
Mei Chen has never left this smoky ghost forest in her whole life!
She really wanted to go out and take a look, but she felt particularly unhappy when she heard Ning Fan's half-threatening, half-seductive tone.
Ning Fan obviously wanted to take her away as a condition to make her surrender and become a demon pet. This made her very unhappy. She didn't like being threatened.
Mei Chen gritted her silver teeth and stared at Ning Fan angrily, "You threaten me?! If I don't make you a demon pet, you will never take me out of the Demon Ghost Forest, right! You are shameless!"
Ning Fan sighed and shook his head. He was just joking with Mei Chen.
"I'm just joking. I obtained an ancient elixir recipe, which is a lower-level sixth-level pill. It's called the True Yang elixir. It's specially given to ghosts like you. Once you take it, you can condense some Yang in your body. Qi, even if you leave the Demonic Forest, you will never be wiped out in ashes."
"I'm naturally happy if you make me a demon pet. If you don't want to, I won't force you. For the sake of friendship, I will help you refine this elixir no matter what. But if I I will take you away from the Demonic Forest. I hope you will agree to my request and protect my family for me... In exchange, I will find a way to help you find a seventh-level top-grade healing elixir to help you completely recover from your injuries and restore your brokenness. The cultivation level of the third level of the virtual world..."
"I'm going to the seventh area to have a look, you have a good rest..."
Ning Fan sighed slightly, turned around and left the door, walking into the misty rain.
Mei Chen's expression was startled, and her heart suddenly felt empty.
For some reason, when Ning Fan spoke to her in a transactional and pleading tone, she felt alienated and lost.
She would rather Ning Fan be shameless and flirt with her than be unfamiliar with her...
If I had known I would be so upset, I might as well have agreed to be his demon pet!
"Smelly man, I won't agree to be your demon pet. Won't you beg me..." Mei Chen bit her lip gently.
Mu Xiaoliang looked at Meichen in confusion, not understanding why she sighed.
"You don't have to be a demon pet for Ning Fan, and you can still leave the demon forest. Shouldn't Sister Meichen be happy? Why does she sigh again?"
"not understand..."
With Mu Xiaoliang's simple mind. It is impossible to understand women's complex emotions.
...
Ning Fan held a bloody umbrella and walked alone in the dusk rain.
Bone Emperor's death, Ning Honghong's disappearance, Xiao Hei's alienation... all these things made him have mixed feelings.
He looked up at the rain, and gradually felt the sound of rain becoming annoying.
But when I walked to the ruins of the seventh area, I looked at the rainy battlefield with corpses everywhere. I also feel that the rain is not actually boring, but actually a bit depressing...
Ning Fan suddenly realized that it was never the rain that made people depressed and desolate, but people's mood.
Lines of rain fell from the sky. That trajectory is Yu's life.
Although Yuzhi's life is short, there are also joys and sorrows.
What mood a person is in can be seen in the rain.
There are countless great ways in the world, and everyone has his or her own way.
If you are in a state of enlightenment, you will surely be able to understand your own path from the rain.
Ning Fan has profound eyesight. He recalled the scenes of entering the Underworld Tomb.
"Back then, I thought that what the Bird God Son understood in the grave was the divine will of rain, but that was not the case. What the Bird God Son understood was the Tao..."
"There is a avenue in every different kind of rain. A drop of rain. It is enough to encompass all the emotions in the world, and it is enough to contain all the avenues in the world..."
"The circle formed by the raindrops is the avenue. The trajectory of the raindrops is the trajectory of the avenue."
Ning Fan's eyes gradually became clear and empty, and the drizzle falling in front of his eyes seemed to be frozen. The trajectory of each drop of rain was infinitely delayed, as if it was still.
He raised his palm to catch a raindrop and stared at it carefully.
He saw countless avenues in the raindrops, but he couldn't tell whether they were true or false.
All his mind was immersed in the raindrops in his palm, and the scenery in front of him changed, as if he was standing in a vast and boundless world of rain.
In this rainy world, above the endless sky, a huge golden ring hangs impressively.
Circle of heaven!
Standing in this rainy world, Ning Fan felt deeper.
It turns out that a drop of rainwater also has its own way of heaven, and the way of heaven is round!
It turns out that as long as you make your mind very small, even a drop of rain will seem as huge as the entire world.
If the mind becomes larger than the four heavens and nine realms, then looking at the four heavens and nine realms may be just a drop of rain.
"One flower, one world, one leaf, one Tathagata..."
"Is the world I stand in boundless and huge, or is it so small that it is just a drop of rain in the eyes of others..."
puff!
Ning Fan suddenly felt a pain in his chest and coughed up blood. He recovered his mind from the rain and his vision gradually returned to clarity.
The reason why he vomited blood was because what he understood was far beyond his realm, and it was simply not something he could see through now!
If you want to know the true appearance of the world, you need to understand your own Taoism...
This is the tireless pursuit of those immortals!
"This silly brother actually wants to understand the truth from a drop of rain! What a terrible understanding! If it weren't for his lack of realm, I am afraid that he would have gained great benefits from this realization just now."
"I wonder if he will be able to comprehend the true meaning of Taoism in the future when he has cultivated enough..."
In Xuanyin Realm, Luo You clicked his tongue and was once again surprised by Ning Fan.
Ning Fan spread his hands and let the rain fall from his palms without lingering at all.
This rain and the great road contained in it are not something he can understand now.
Too much is not enough... If you force yourself to enlightenment, you will only destroy yourself. The mouthful of blood you coughed up is a warning.
Cultivation can only be done step by step and cannot be made rashly.
"Let's go and see the entrance to the eighth area..."
Ning Fan stepped through the ruins of the battlefield in the seventh area, walking in the dusk rain, moving forward.
After walking for who knows how long, Ning Fan stopped and stood at the end of the seventh area.
The first seven areas of the Demonic Ghost Forest are all separated by ghosts, but the seventh area and the eighth area are separated by a boundary-breaking light.
On the road leading to the eighth area, there is a layer of bright aurora standing there, like a huge mirror blocking it.
Ning Fan patted his storage bag, took out a mortal magic weapon, and threw it towards Aurora.
The moment it touches the aurora, the magic weapon immediately turns into ashes and dissipates...
Ning Fan frowned. This aurora was so terrifying that even the Void-shattering monks and Immortal Void magic weapons could be destroyed into ashes...
As long as this boundary-breaking light exists, Ning Fan cannot enter the eighth area no matter what.
It's a pity...The eighth and ninth areas of the Demonic Forest exist in the Ancient Heavenly Court and are inaccessible.
"That's all, so what if I enter the Ancient Heaven in advance. With my current level of cultivation, there will be many dangers in entering the Ancient Heaven. There is no need to rush for success. The matter of cultivating the Tao must be done step by step. Don't be greedy..."
Today's enlightenment in the rain really made Ning Fan's mood improve a lot.
"It's almost time to leave. Refining the True Yang Pill for Xiao Hei will not happen overnight. I still have a few elixirs on hand. I will probably need to leave the Demonic Forest to purchase the elixirs..."
"I've been out for half a month, so I should go back to tell them that they are safe. Then... go to the Underworld Tomb to see if I can bring the Underworld Tree Spirit out of the Underworld Tomb..."
"Although I have a way to bring Xiao Hei and Xiao Liang out of the underworld grave, I don't have much confidence in bringing out the underworld tree spirit at the moment... At most, I can only bring out his clone..."
"Let's go and have a look..."
Ning Fan returned to Huangquan Demon City, so it was better to go back and say goodbye to Mei Chen and Mu Xiaoliang for the time being.
...
In the Ghost Bird Sect, in the Hall of Merit, Meng Chu, the elder guarding the palace, stood there dumbfounded.
Beside him, Gui Quezi, the former leader of the Gui Que Sect, showed a wry smile.
He is already halfway to the level of Nascent Soul, and is only one long step away from officially conceiving a baby.
As soon as he came out of seclusion, he encountered something that made him laugh or cry.
In the Hall of Merit, Ning Fan's sect contribution has increased at an incredible speed, and finally exceeded the upper limit of the Merit Monument... and exploded the Merit Monument.
"Did that kid do anything earth-shattering when he entered the Demonic Forest this time? He probably killed the Void-shattering ghosts in the seventh area of the Demonic Forest... Otherwise, how could the sect's contribution exceed the upper limit... "
Gui Quezi laughed and shook his head. He was just joking and did not think that Ning Fan had the strength to kill the Shattering Void Ghost. That would be too incredible.
Unfortunately, the truth is often unexpected.
When he learned the truth about Demonic Forest and was shocked, it was already many years later... He could never imagine that Ning Fan, who had glimpsed Xu's cultivation, actually killed the Bone Emperor...
