The sinister wind carried a rancid smell and was vaguely toxic, which was enough to harm some Shattering Void monks, but naturally it could not harm Ning Fan.
The sound of rattling chains was heard, and then, more than a dozen corpse demons with green skin rushed out, their limbs were tied by chains. The mineral materials used in the chains were quite good, but they had already been broken by rust. , it can be seen how old it is.
"It's this kind of corpse demon again..."
These corpse demons were almost identical to the corpse demons used by the Evil Sheep Division of the Tamu Tribe that day. They were all demonized corpses of monks who had been killed by medicine. The only difference is that the corpse demon in the mine here strangely carries a layer of extremely weak Buddha light.
Ning Fan keenly noticed that this Buddha's light was not caused by the exercises practiced by those corpse demons during their lifetime, but by absorbing the body-refining power of the Nirvana Mother Ore here.
During the days he stayed in the Tamu tribe, Ning Fan roughly studied the characters of the Tamu tribe. With the monk's photographic memory, although he was not too proficient, he was enough to understand the ancient books of the Dabei tribe.
He had read through the ancient books of the Tamu tribe, learned about many elixirs and ores that belonged exclusively to the Tamu tribe, and naturally had some understanding of the nirvana stone. Among the Dabei tribe, Nirvana Stone is one of the few items used to refine the body, and it contains a body-refining power called Nirvana's Qi. It can even be used to practice a variety of Buddhist magical powers.
In this way, it is not difficult to understand why these corpse demons have weak Buddha light.
The cultivation level of the zombie demons in the mines here was not high, and most of them only had the cultivation level of refining and shattering the void. Ning Fan opened his mouth and spit out demonic fire, which directly burned all the zombie demons into ashes. After his cultivation level was reduced, Ning Fan's current mana was unable to lift the Nihai Sword, which weighed seven stars! Since then, the demonic fire that has reached level 11 has become his normal attack method.
After destroying the zombie demon, Ning Fan walked into the mine. This was a hidden mine in a first-level evil domain. It was located within a space formation. Even if some Shekong monks passed by this place, they might not be able to discover this mineral vein. of. But naturally it couldn't be hidden from Ning Fan's discernment.
The treasure search compass shows an extremely dense group of light points, declaring how huge the reserves of Nirvana Stone are here. According to Ning Fan's estimation, if the mining is completed. At least tens of thousands of one-star nirvana stones can be collected here.
One-star is the lowest grade of nirvana stone. The quality of this vein cannot be said to be too high. Occasionally there are some two-star nirvana stones, but never too many.
Mining ore is extremely time consuming. Ning Fan naturally did not intend to waste time here. Instead, he went directly to the depths of the mine, squatted on the ground, pressed a palm on the uneven cold ground, and directly absorbed the Nirvana breath of the mineral veins here! This kind of direct and brutal behavior is likely to cause indelible damage to the mine veins, but it is not something Ning Fan cares about.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths... The stone walls of the mine began to crack and weather, after a hundred breaths. Collapse suddenly.
Ning Fan walked out of the ruins of the mine a little disappointed. He had absorbed the maternal energy of tens of thousands of one-star nirvana stones, but it only improved the ancient demon's body refining skills by a very small amount, and he still had not broken through to the ninth nirvana of the heavenly demon. , it’s really a pity.
You must know that the mother energy of tens of thousands of one-star nirvana mother stones is enough to create a life-immortal-level body cultivator, but it is still not enough for Ning Fan to break into the ninth nirvana of the heavenly demon. This shows how difficult it is to break into the ninth nirvana of the heavenly demon. .
"That's all, one mineral vein is not enough. You can absorb other mineral veins, and you can always break through the Ninth Nirvana. I have a treasure hunting compass in my hand. As long as there are other hidden mineral veins in this fierce area, they will not be hidden from my search..."
Left the mine here. Ning Fan continued to control the compass, searching for treasures and hunting beasts in the first-level evil domain. The Fierce Territory Continent is divided into ten levels according to the degree of danger. Level one is the weakest. Naturally, it has been experienced by more people. It is a good thing on the surface. The area had been plundered for a long time, but Ning Fan still used the power of the treasure search compass to find a few hidden places, found a lot of elixirs, fairy materials, and even a hidden Buddhist cave, which was a certain place. The caves left here by ancient Buddhist monks.
Written records were left in it. Now Ning Fan can understand these words. From these words, he discovered some interesting things.
Words such as "...Holy mountain gambling, the winner is indistinguishable, the eternal stone sits on it, thousands of chants will fade away..." and other words.
Another example is "...the saint's soul is scattered, and his thoughts are transformed into a mountain, and there is a secret elixir in it. Those who are destined to open the mountain can get the elixir, and those who are not destined to enter the tomb have no way..."
Many texts mention the word "Holy Mountain". According to these written records, the Dabei people have a holy place called the Holy Mountain, which was transformed from the saint's thoughts. There are secret elixirs hidden in the mountain, all of which were refined by the saint during his lifetime. It is no trivial matter. …
These words made Ning Fan unconsciously think of the tomb-keepers of the Holy Mountain mentioned by the man with the giant sword earlier. The Holy Mountain is the holy land of the Dabei people, but not everyone in the Dabei people knows about the existence of the Holy Mountain, at least. The monks in the Tamu tribe don't know what the Holy Mountain is. Maybe Tagli knew it, but didn't tell Ning Fan. Presumably, he also had reservations about the clan's secrets...
But for Ning Fan, secrets such as the Holy Mountain are not what he cares about. What he was most concerned about was finding the Jiuli sacrificial vessel. These texts did contain written records of the sacrificial vessel, but Ning Fan was stunned.
"...After the saint died, his thoughts were transformed into the mountain. His good corpse sought countless sacrificial vessels from various tribes to sacrifice to his master. The evil corpse sought out the evil realm and became a thief. He stole all the sacrificial vessels and wanted to destroy the holy mountain but could not enter. Finally, he decided to gamble Make an appointment, draw boundaries and govern..."
According to written records, the saint who collected herbs had cultivated the good and evil corpses during his lifetime, and became a saint by beheading three corpses. After the saint's death, the two corpses had a dispute. The good corpses found countless sacrificial vessels from various tribes and wanted to sacrifice and collect herbs. The saint, but the evil corpse took away all the sacrificial vessels, not wanting the saint to receive sacrifices after his death...
According to written records, the so-called tenth-level evil domain is the territory of the evil corpse of the saint, while the Dabei tribe and the holy mountain are the territory of the good corpse...
Ning Fan frowned slightly. The tenth level ominous domain was the domain of the evil corpse of the saint. Most of the sacrificial vessels sought by the good corpses were taken away by the evil corpses. If among those stolen sacrificial vessels happened to be Jiuli sacrificial vessels, then whether the sacrificial vessels of the Jiuli clan Are they really in the territory of the evil zombies - the tenth-level evil domain?
Another point is, after the death of the saint, whether his good corpses and evil corpses still live to the present era, or have been annihilated in the long river of time... If they are not dead, then this Dabei clan and the tenth level evil domain are somewhat extraordinary. Well, it is not impossible to have the good and evil corpse of a saint sitting there... this possibility is not impossible.
If you think about the good and evil corpses killed by the Immortal Emperor, they have the strength of ancient great cultivators. If the good and evil corpses of the medicine-gathering saint here really survive to this day, I am afraid they will not be weaker than the good and evil corpses of the Immortal Emperor...
"These ancient cultivating texts are limited after all. If you want to truly find out where the sacrificial weapon is, you need to continue to collect information. Fortunately, I have a lot of medicine soul stones on my body. I can get more after completing the mission here. In this way, I can find out where the sacrificial weapon is." The stay in the Holy Land will also be longer..."
With Ning Fan's cultivation level, it didn't take long to plunder the entire first-level ferocious domain continent. Then he searched all the nearby first-level continents before entering the deeper second-level dangerous areas.
Occasionally, he would meet some humble monks who had entered the fierce realm to experience, but Ning Fan did not meet these people and flew directly past them.
There are very few good things in the low-level evil realm. It was already rare to find a low-level nirvana vein before. After that, no hidden mineral veins were found. Some mineral veins were found on the surface, but they had all been mined. There were not many nirvana stones left, and they were all defective products. Ning Fan searched more than ten second-level and third-level continents, but did not find a few hidden places. He occasionally entered some hidden ancient caves, but they had also been evacuated... However, along the way, he completed a lot of tasks. .
There are 51 human-level tasks, and he has completed 47 of them. There are 11 prefecture-level tasks, and he has completed 4 of them.
Most of the remaining tasks can only be completed by entering the level 4 or above evil domain. For the monk Shekong, the level 4 evil domain is already very dangerous. Looking at the grasslands of southern Xinjiang, few people dare to enter.
Naturally, Ning Fan is not afraid. His skills are not comparable to those of the Shekong monks. After entering the level four ominous realm, the treasure hunting compass suddenly showed several hidden light spots. Obviously, the higher the level of the fierce domain, the more secret places that have not been discovered. The more good things are hidden...
Just as soon as he entered the fourth level of the fierce realm, he was locked by several arrogant auras. It was not the vicious beasts here, nor the corpse demons, but living people who locked him.
Soon, four black spots quickly flew towards the horizon. Landed around Ning Fan. These four people are dressed very strangely. They are different from the nomadic attire of the Dabei tribe, and they are also different from the outer cultivator attire of the man with the giant sword. They are all wearing black armor with overwhelming demonic energy. Their cultivation level is not high. They all have the cultivation level of transcending the true spirit, but The four black-armored monks walking here seemed to be extremely afraid of the ferocious beasts and corpse demons here, and they did not dare to attack the four black-armored monks.
"Are you the guardian of the tomb of the Holy Mountain, or a foreign monk?"
The four black-armored guards noticed Ning Fan's outer attire and asked in a deep voice. Murderous intent was already faintly revealed, as if Ning Fan would take action immediately if he answered incorrectly.
Ning Fan was naturally not afraid of the four Duzhen, and said calmly, "I am a foreign monk."
Although he has good intentions towards the Dabei tribe, if the monks here kill him, he will still fight back. With his method, he can kill four Dabei Duzhen in this deserted place. Silent and silent, no one can find out the cause and effect.
"It turns out they are foreign cultivators, huh." The murderous aura of the four black-armored cultivators actually subsided. It seemed as if Ning Fan only answered the tomb-keepers of the Holy Mountain before they took action.
But there was more or less disdain for outside monks in his tone.
One of the monks took out an animal bone magic weapon. After confirming that there was indeed a punishment ring in Ning Fan's body, they ignored Ning Fan and turned around to leave.
Ning Fan frowned slightly, these four black-armored monks did not seem to be cultivators from the Dabei tribe...
After the four people left, Ning Fan began to search this fourth-level continent, doing small tasks while looking for nirvana veins.
Not to mention, he actually found a mineral vein of two-star nirvana stone. Unfortunately, the reserve was not much, only about a thousand yuan. As before, Ning Fan directly sucked up the nirvana breath of the entire mineral vein, but let him Disappointingly, this bit of Nirvana's aura was still not enough for him to break through the Nine Nirvana Heavenly Demon.
Ultimately, the level of the Two-Star Nirvana Stone is too low.
Ning Fan continued to search other level four ferocious continents. During this period, he found three more hidden mineral veins, two three-star mineral veins and one four-star mineral vein.
After sucking up these mineral veins, Ning Fan found that the bottleneck of his Heavenly Demon Nine Nirvana had been loosened, and he could break through almost at any time. However, he always felt that something was missing, and he always felt that he was almost a little bit...
"It's still a little bit worse. It's not just about cultivation, it's about something else..."
Ning Fan thought for a while and decided to continue searching the fourth-level continent to find the nirvana veins. During this period, two more groups of black-armored monks came to question him, and they all left arrogantly after learning that he was not the guardian of the tomb of the Holy Mountain.
The fourth-level continent near the southern Xinjiang grassland was almost searched by Ning Fan, but no mineral veins were found.
Just when Ning Fan almost decided to enter the deeper fifth-level ferocious continent, suddenly on a fourth-level continent, the compass reacted violently.
"This is…"
Ning Fan's eyes lit up.
There is a nirvana stone mine hidden in this fourth-level continent, and the grade of this nirvana stone is not low. According to Ning Fan's estimation, it is at least a five-star ore vein, and there may even be a few six-star ores in it!
"Speaking of which, I just have a prefecture-level mission. It requires finding ten six-star nirvana stones..."
Ning Fan looked through the copy of the prefecture-level mission and thought to himself. Ten six-star nirvana stones are of great help in refining the body, but the mission rewards are also very generous. For missions above the prefecture level, the rewards are often not medicine soul stones. And the reward for this mission is actually an innate soul-replenishing elixir!
And it’s one that Ning Fan hasn’t gotten yet!
For a prefecture-level mission, the reward is actually an innate elixir. It should be said that this reward is very generous. This shows that the person who issued the mission has a great background. He can easily obtain the innate elixir, and he is extremely thirsty for the six-star nirvana stone, otherwise he would not be given such a big prize...
But unfortunately, the tribal competition is approaching, and this task is extremely dangerous. The Shekong monks in the southern grasslands do not dare to take risks for the innate elixir...
According to Dabei people's understanding, the six-star nirvana stone is often guarded by extremely powerful evil creatures, and it is not easy to succeed even with a single thought. Although the benefits of this task are extremely high, the risks are also extremely high. One mistake can lead to death...
Even the man with the giant sword who thinks highly of himself firmly believes that without the cooperation of three late-stage and peak Shekong masters, they would not be able to obtain the six-star nirvana stone here...
"This is a good mission, so there are six different types of innate soul-repairing elixirs..."
Ning Fan raised his hand and tore open the space formation here, entering a secret space. The yin energy in the space is extremely heavy. It is still a mine, but the entire mine is sealed in this space.
There are many skeletons outside the mine, some of them were dressed as nomads, and some of them were repairing their clothes. They are all skeletons from many years ago, and they turn into ashes when touched...
"The Yin Qi here is very strong, but the strange thing is that this mine is not like other mines I have seen. It is occupied by corpse demons... No, it's not that there are no corpse demons, but the corpse demons here are too good at hiding!"
The early stage of broken thoughts…
With Ning Fan's rain perception, he directly sensed the cultivation level of the corpse demon here. Just as he was about to sense the hiding position of the corpse demon, a gust of wind suddenly came from behind for no reason.
Ning Fan walked out of the mountain of corpses and sea of blood. His reaction was extremely fast. Before the black shadow behind him could sneak up on him, his body had turned into a golden light, and he suddenly appeared a hundred steps away, easily dodging the sneak attack.
Click, click, click...
The person who sneaked up on Ning Fan was a fat corpse demon. Every time he made a move, the chains on his body would collide and make a sound.
The corpse demon looked numb and showed no expression. He missed a single blow and rushed directly towards Ning Fan.
Ning Fan did not panic, and opened his mouth to spit out eleven demonic fires, making the whole space suddenly resound with the sound of wind and thunder. The demonic fire spread and turned into a sea of fire, sucking the corpse demon into it.
The corpse demon had extremely low intelligence and did not dodge. He allowed the demonic fire to completely burn him, and his whole body suddenly emitted thousands of Buddha lights. He actually withstood the damage of the demonic fire and burst out of the sea of fire.
This is a bit awesome!
Although due to Ning Fan's limited cultivation, the power of the demonic fire has been reduced a lot, but after all, it is the Eleventh Demonic Fire. It is of such a high level that it cannot be intercepted by just any early-stage Suinian. But this corpse demon only relied on the blessing of Buddha's light to directly resist the demonic fire with its physical body without being damaged. This is enough to show that its physical body is terrifying.
The cultivation level of this corpse demon, even if it has not reached the middle stage of Broken Thoughts, is probably not much different!
As soon as the corpse demon came close, he immediately punched boldly. The power of the punch immediately shook the heaven and the earth, making the entire space unstable. Ning Fan is unafraid. He is an ancient demon who has half-stepped into Nirvana. If the opponent fights with his body, why should he be afraid?
Bang!
A punch was exchanged, and the sound of gold and iron colliding was heard, which was enough to show that the bodies of both parties were hard. The huge force spread, Ning Fan took ten steps back, and the corpse demon also took ten steps back.
Relying on the Buddha's light to protect his body, the corpse demon was almost undamaged by this punch, but Ning Fan's fist bones were broken. In terms of physical strength alone, Ning Fan was almost the same as the corpse demon, but the corpse demon's Buddha's light supernatural power was extremely powerful. It's awesome, otherwise this corpse demon would also suffer some injuries.
Fortunately, black fire suddenly ignited on Ning Fan's fist. In the black fire, the damage was healed almost instantly, and he was able to fight with the zombie demon's fist again!
boom! boom! boom!
It's not that Ning Fan can't use a more powerful trump card to instantly kill the zombie demon here, but he is an ancient demon after all, and he has the arrogance of the ancient demon in his bones. When the physical gap is not big, if he can't rely on the ancient demon's body to overwhelm the opponent, he can't be considered a real ancient demon!
And this time after hitting the target, Ning Fan unexpectedly discovered that the one line that was always short of breaking through the Nine Nirvana Demon was being completed bit by bit.
"I see..." Ning Fan had a clear understanding.
The ancient demons love killing and are born war madmen. The only difference he has is not the difference in cultivation, but the need to make a breakthrough in battle.
This kind of breakthrough cannot be achieved with the help of external forces. You have to fight with your body, go through hardships, and get rid of this last bottleneck!
So Ning Fan obviously had more powerful means to kill the corpse demon, but he was not in a hurry, and simply fought hand-to-hand with the corpse demon here. The fight caused the space to collapse, and Ning Fan even forgot his original purpose of coming to this space, which was to collect the five-star and six-star nirvana stones.
This battle lasted for three days. During these three days, his ancient demon blood was on fire. He could feel that he was getting closer to the realm of the Nine Nirvana Demon every day.
No matter how strong the corpse demon's defense is, it will still suffer from aggravated injuries in the fight. Ning Fan was different. Every time he was injured, he was reborn from the fire. As a result, the corpse demon's injuries became more and more serious, while Ning Fan always maintained his prime state. Under the decline of one and the other, the corpse demon was eventually defeated by Ning Fan. Anyone who kills with his body alone!
And Ning Fan also completely broke through the ninth nirvana of the demon at the moment when he killed the corpse demon!
In the early days of killing Suinian, it was no longer a big deal for Ning Fan. But only the physical body of the ancient demon is used to kill it, without using the calamity blood cultivation, without using any magic weapon, and without using the power of the yin and yang principles of gods, demons and demons. But it is rare.
"Is this the power of the Ninth Nirvana of the Demon!"
After a natural breakthrough, Ning Fan could feel the growth of his body, which was quite terrifying. If he had to fight the corpse demon for three days before the breakthrough, he was confident that he could defeat the corpse demon within an hour after the breakthrough!
The battle ended. Only belatedly, he realized that the space here had been destroyed by him. A mine had already been torn apart, and the ore fragments were floating in the dark void...
It saves you the trouble of mining.
Ning Fan selected ten six-star nirvana stones from the countless broken ores and put them away, while the remaining ores were taken for refining and absorption.
Because the nirvana stone here was of a higher grade, Ning Fan spent a lot of time refining it. It took more than twenty days to complete the refining. The effect is also quite obvious. Relying on these nirvana auras, Ning Fan not only directly stabilized the cultivation level of the Nine Nirvana Heavenly Demons, but also made the Ancient Demon's cultivation level improve a little, almost 1% towards the tenth Nirvana.
This improvement is already very impressive. After all, if an ancient demon wants to achieve such improvement, it cannot be achieved without tens of thousands of years of hard work. It can be seen from this that the nirvana stone of the Dabei tribe is very helpful for body cultivation.
Having seen the effects of high-level nirvana stones, Ning Fan was very interested in searching for other nirvana veins. Unfortunately, this trip took too much time. Xiaobi's time in southern Xinjiang was approaching, and he could no longer waste time here. . Moreover, the southern border is too small, and the highest level of the evil domain here is only level four. There are no higher-level evil domains. The evil domains below level four have also been explored by Ning Fan...
Another point is that the level of the evil domain near southern Xinjiang is too low and there are no innate elixirs, let alone soul-tonifying innate elixirs. This also made Ning Fan a little helpless.
"When you have time in the future, let's enter the advanced evil realms in other places..."
Ning Fan stood up from the void and decided to leave the mineral space. However, it took a lot of effort to leave.
The magnetism of the Fierce Territory Continent is very strange, which also makes it extremely difficult to locate the previous coordinates in the endless void and return to the outside world once some hidden spaces are broken. Of course, it is also difficult for the outside world to find the coordinates and enter.
Fortunately, Ning Fan had a treasure-hunting compass, and he could search for everything in the sky and on the ground. After a lot of effort, he was able to locate the cut-off point in space, and finally walked out of this broken space.
As soon as he came out of the outside world, Ning Fan immediately discovered that there were actually two groups of people fighting near here. The surrounding space was all sealed, and he could only enter but not exit!
The two parties fighting were on one side the man with the giant sword and the red-haired woman whom he had seen in the Evil Sheep Department, and on the other side were dozens of murderous black-armored monks who were besieging the two men with the giant sword.
On the side of the black-armored monks, the lowest are true immortals with a true cultivation level, and among them there are three at the peak of Shekong. The man with the giant sword and the red-haired woman were both at the peak of Shekong's cultivation. They were both seriously injured at this moment. They were obviously besieged by the black-armored monks, and due to the blockade of the surrounding space, they were unable to even escape from here. We have been fighting here for an unknown number of days.
Ning Fan's sudden appearance shocked all the black-armored monks. The red-haired woman, with a look of survival in her eyes, turned around and fled towards Ning Fan, and even shouted deliberately,
"Junior Brother Ning! We are also the guardians of the tombs of the Holy Mountain. Come and help our senior sister to kill the Three Flame Armored Guards!" He yelled and ran away, and even ran directly behind Ning Fan!
The red-haired woman shouted and dodged, which directly caused Ning Fan to enter the black-armored monk's murderous lock.
"Hmph, is this man also the guardian of the tomb of the Holy Mountain? Kill him!"
Immediately, many black-armored monks turned around and attacked Ning Fan, not giving Ning Fan a chance to defend himself.
Ning Fan's eyes turned slightly cold. Before he could figure out the situation, he seemed to have been dragged into the muddy water by this red-haired woman!
"My name is Dolan, and I am the daughter of the Immortal Emperor of the Holy Mountain. I know you are a Tamu foreign cultivator! If you save me once, I will thank you again!"
Dolan gritted her teeth tightly. If it was not a matter of life and death, with her arrogant personality, she would never disdain to ask for help in a low voice... (To be continued.)
