Ning Fan was not interested in the so-called Ancient Immortal Emperor's Cave.
Unfortunately, Emperor Shenkong, who held the title of deputy alliance leader, invited him in every possible way and insisted on dragging him to visit the ancient emperor's cave.
The Void Emperor and others at the banquet were also very interested and strongly invited Ning Fan to go and have a look. They claimed that there were many secret treasures and divine pills sealed in the cave. After Ning Fan left, some of them could be separated and given to Ning Fan.
This made Ning Fan very curious. Why were the Immortal Emperors here so enthusiastic and unanimously inviting him to go to the ancient emperor's cave to share the treasures hidden in the cave?
Could this be a conspiracy with ulterior motives?
Will these immortal emperors lead him to the ancient emperor's cave and join forces to murder him?
This conspiracy theory flashed in Ning Fan's mind, but was immediately suppressed by Ning Fan, who laughed and shook his head.
He has experienced too many calculations over the years, so when something happens, he often thinks the worst. However, the boundary river is currently in chaos, and these Dongtian Immortal Emperors should not betray Dongtian at the same time and plot against him. Therefore, this conspiracy theory is not very likely at all. He is just overthinking it.
The motives of these Dongtian Emperors were very simple. They probably just wanted to borrow flowers to offer to Buddha and take treasures from other people's caves to please him.
Or perhaps, there are some treasures in the cave that cannot be accessed by the abilities of Shen Kong Emperor and others, so they want to use his power to a certain extent.
After figuring out the key points, Ning Fan finally casually agreed to the invitation from Emperor Shenkong and others, but did not explicitly agree to go to that cave with the emperors on a certain day.
This was a disguised form of perfunctory. Ning Fan was more concerned about the battle situation on the Ninth Road and did not want to pay attention to the Ancient Emperor's Cave for the time being.
In a blink of an eye, three days passed.
It is a crisp autumn weather in Jiehe right now. On this day, four Immortal Emperors including the Void Emperor, the Shenkong Emperor, the Red Camel Emperor, and the Minghe Boy suddenly came to see him and invited Ning Fan to visit the ancient emperor's cave.
Ning Fan was speechless and wondered why these people were so interested in the Ancient Emperor's Cave? Seeing that it was too perfunctory, I had no choice but to nod and accompany the Four Emperors on a trip.
The Ancient Emperor's Cave mentioned by the Four Emperors is not too far from Wansheng Pass, less than half a day's journey by water. The cave is located behind the Wansheng Pass, within the protection range of the formation, and its geographical location is very safe. If you go here to explore, there is no danger of being ambushed by aliens.
The cave is located in an independent space. Because of its age, a tiny space crack opened not long ago, which happened to be found by the emperors.
This is an extremely ancient cave space that has existed for an unknown number of years, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within it has become somewhat decayed. However, the strange thing is that the power of the formation in the cave still retains two or three points, and has not been completely annihilated by the years, which is quite magical.
Ning Fan was not interested in the Ancient Emperor's Cave at first, but after seeing the peculiarities of this cave, he finally became somewhat interested.
The landform of the cave space is an endless glacier. On top of the glacier, eight huge icebergs tower into the sky, standing straight like eight huge guards.
On every iceberg, an ancient emperor once opened a cave here. This is indeed an ancient emperor's cave space, but it is not owned by a single ancient emperor, but jointly owned by eight ancient emperors.
According to the research of Emperor Shenkong and others, these eight Immortal Emperors should be figures from the same era as the Eastern Heaven Ancestral Emperor. The eight of them were brothers from the same sect, and were called the "Eight Sons of the Water Sect" by their contemporaries. It seemed that there were many ancient books in Dongtian that mentioned these eight ancient emperors.
Where this title came from is unknown to future generations.
According to records in ancient books, the most glorious achievement of these eight people in their lives was that they worked together to defeat Emperor Dongtian, a great figure in the world, using their magical power of water.
To be able to defeat such outstanding figures as Dong Tian Zu Di, even if you have to fight with many people, is enough to be proud of. The eighth son of the Water Sect is quite capable, but unfortunately, no matter how powerful he is, he cannot withstand the passage of time. The Eight Emperors finally fell in the long river of time, leaving only eight caves that remain to this day, witnessing the changes in the world, which is sad.
On each iceberg, there are a large number of formations with unpredictable power. The eight icebergs have different colors due to different owners. The eight colors and eight-color icebergs complement each other here, which is quite magnificent.
Among the eight icebergs, five have been broken through by Shen Kong Emperor and others, and the treasures have been taken out. Unfortunately, there are still three icebergs that are beyond the scope of ability of Shen Kong Emperor and others, and they have not been able to break through them to this day. Instead, because of the formation. France, each suffered a lot.
In this way, these people have their thoughts. Anyway, they couldn't take away the treasures of the last three icebergs, so they might as well borrow flowers to offer to Buddha and give them to Ning Fan.
Of course, if there was any treasure among them that Ning Fan didn't like, they wouldn't mind sharing it. Ning Fan eats meat and they drink soup, which is not bad!
"Brother Ning has a great reputation. We have admired him for a long time, but we have no way to make friends with him. With Brother Ning's ability, it will be easy to break through the formations of the last three caves. As long as Brother Ning breaks through the formations, the treasures of the last three icebergs will be mined. Whatever is useful to Brother Ning will belong to Brother Ning!"
If it is something that is useless to brother Ning, hehe... You, Yama in White, are extremely powerful, have a big family and a big business, and your vision is extremely high. There must be many things that you don't like, so you should let us get some soup...
Emperor Shenkong and others all put on extremely generous expressions, as if Ning Fan had gotten a huge advantage by bringing him here.
This left Ning Fan speechless.
He finally understood why these people were so diligent and wanted to invite him to come here to have a look.
It turns out that I want him to contribute and then follow him to gain some benefits...
Emperor Shenkong and others led the way, leading Ning Fan to an iceberg exuding black energy.
This is the weaker formation power among the last three icebergs, and it belongs to the third son of the eight sons of Water Sect.
As soon as Ning Fan and his party approached the iceberg, countless black ice spikes suddenly appeared out of thin air and attacked Ning Fan and others.
Even though they are old, those ice spikes still retain one or two points of power, enough to injure the weak Immortal Emperor.
Even though Shen Kong Emperor and others had already experienced the power of this ice spike, they were still a little confused by this ice spike at this moment. Fortunately, the Emperor of the Void, the Emperor of the Divine Sky, and the Red Camel Emperor were all characters of the seventh or eighth calamity; Minghe Boy was at a disadvantage because he only had six calamities. Even though he was prepared for it, he was still accidentally killed by one of them. The ice spike broke through the defensive magical power and pierced the left shoulder.
The Minghe boy was shocked and immediately pulled out the black ice thorn without any hesitation. Even though he moved quickly, a large amount of black pus and blood leaked out from the wound, which was extremely rancid.
Minghe boy also turned pale because of the attack of this mere ice spike, and he was actually seriously injured!
Even if the power of the Ancient Immortal Emperor's formation was greatly reduced, it could still easily hurt the Mo Fa Immortal Emperor. Is this the difference between today's people and the ancients...
"Everyone, please step back and I will deal with these ice spikes." Ning Fan sighed and said to Minghe Boy and the others.
This statement was indeed made out of good intentions. Although these immortal emperors wanted to use him to break the formation, he did not want the other party to suffer too much damage.
The more these people are injured, the more strength the Jiehe Allied Forces will lose. The overall situation is the most important thing, and he doesn't mind blocking all dangers here for these people.
It's a pity that his good intentions seemed a bit harsh when it fell on the other party's ears.
"Brother Ning, you are looking down on us too much. Brother, you are extremely powerful, and we are not weak either! Why are you afraid of these black ice spikes! If you back off, don't mention it again!"
"The injury to fellow Taoist Minghe was just an accident. Instead, fellow daoist should be more careful. These black ice spikes are extremely powerful and are one of the secret skills of the eight disciples of Water Sect. As long as dozens of ice spikes attack at the same time, seven calamities will be over." Even the Immortal Emperor of the Eight Tribulations will be hard to resist. If we join forces, we can achieve even greater success!"
"Fellow Taoist, don't underestimate the enemy!"
Emperor Shenkong and others all frowned, feeling that Ning Fan looked down on them too much and actually asked them to step back. Although they came to please Ning Fan on this trip, who among them is not a proud person, and who would want to be looked down upon by Ning Fan.
Ning Fan frowned and saw that the Four Emperors insisted, so he stopped trying to persuade him. Facing the countless ice spikes coming towards him, he held up the Seven Treasures Tree high and brushed it thousands of times.
In an instant, hundreds of black ice spikes were easily maxed out by the light of the Seven Treasures. The process should not be too easy.
Emperor Shenkong and others' eyes widened, their mouths were open and they couldn't close their mouths for a long time.
One moment they were blaming Ning Fan for looking down on them, and even said that the attack of dozens of ice spikes was enough to make the Immortal Emperor of the Seven Tribulations and Eight Tribulations unable to resist. The next moment, Ning Fan told them with the facts: To him, these ice spikes were simply nothing. Insignificant, thousands of ice spikes can be destroyed with a raise of your hand...
In an instant, the pride of Emperor Shenkong and others were shattered, and they all felt a deep sense of frustration and powerlessness in their hearts.
They knew that there was a gap between themselves and Ning Fan, but they didn't expect that the gap would be so big that they were like an insurmountable chasm between them!
"...It seems that Brother Ning can easily break through the formation here alone. We really don't have to take action. The younger generation is to be feared, the younger generation is to be feared..." The Void Emperor seemed to have aged millions of years in an instant and said bitterly.
Emperor Shenkong and others were all like frosted eggplants, unable to show any momentum in front of Ning Fan.
Seeing that he had beaten the arrogant and arrogant Four Emperors of Dongtian into this state with his casual attack, Ning Fan sighed even more, not wanting to hurt the self-esteem of the Four Emperors too much. He smiled a little and comforted the four emperors a little, and the four emperors just regained their spirits.
However, the next formations were all broken by Ning Fan alone.
Black Ice Mountain's formation has a total of nineteen levels. The first level is the attack of Black Ice Thorn, which was broken by Ning Fan in just a few hits.
The second level is the water poison attack. Ning Fan possesses the power of poisonous yin and yang and is not afraid of the poison at all. On the contrary, Emperor Shenkong and others suffered terribly under the attack of water poison. If Ning Fan had not rescued him, they would have almost caused trouble. A life was lost.
The third level of formation transformed into a water giant with the cultivation level of the Six Tribulations Immortal Emperor. He was easily killed by Ning Fan's Seven Treasures Mystical Tree. Emperor Shen Kong and others were shocked to the point where they were so cold that they looked at Ning Fan as if he were a ghost.
The fourth level formation transformed into a huge wave that covered the sky and flooded the entire glacier. The force of the water was so strong that the Four Emperors were almost unable to stand, and their magic power was in chaos. However, Ning Fan casually took out an unknown thin black iron needle. , just pointing a thin needle, all the waves evaporated in an instant...
The fifth level of formation…
The sixth level of formation…
The seventh level of formation…
Emperor Shenkong and others gradually became numb. In their eyes, all formations that were extremely dangerous were broken by Ning Fan. Ning Fan's endless methods were enough to deal with all situations, which dazzled them and finally convinced them.
If they were shocked when they first saw Ning Fan's true strength, after seeing it more often, they felt accustomed to it and thought it should be like this.
Quietly, Emperor Shenkong and others changed their names, no longer calling him Brother Ning, but calling him Brother Ning. Facing Ning Fan, they did not dare to rely on their superiority and seniority; regarding this trip, they did not dare to have any petty thoughts of fishing in troubled waters.
With less than a stick of incense, Black Ice Mountain's nineteen-fold formation was destroyed by Ning Fan.
Ning Fan entered the cave of Black Ice Mountain and searched a lot, finding more than ten bottles of elixirs, including two Nine-turn Emperor Pills, but unfortunately more than half of the elixir's power was lost; he found three magic weapons, all of which were half-damaged innate magic weapons; I found a jade slip with magical powers, which records a magical power called water attack.
Eternal years have passed, but these elixirs and magic weapons have not been completely spiritually exhausted. This fact makes Ning Fan extremely surprised. This is extremely rare among the ruins of ancient monks he has seen. The Eighth Sons of Water Sect seem to be very good at preserving things.
The half-destroyed innate magic weapon can be used to burn the divine liquid.
Although more than half of the elixir's potency has been lost, it is still possible to still take it. Of course, these elixirs are of little use to Ning Fan.
Ning Fan looked at the River Burial Technique and found that it was not a powerful magical power. It was not even one-tenth as powerful as the River Burial Technique. Even if he learned it, it was just one more magical power integrated into the cross halo.
Ning Fan decided to keep the magic weapon for his own use and share the elixirs with everyone. As a result, no one from Shen Kong Emperor and others wanted Ning Fan's elixirs.
It's not that these pills are bad, it's that they don't want or dare to take advantage of Ning Fan anymore.
Seeing that the Four Emperors were determined not to accept these elixirs, Ning Fan did not force himself. He only printed four copies of the magical jade slips and gave one to each person.
Then he ignored the four people and walked around the cave alone for a second time, trying to see if there was anything missing. This turn, no matter what, Ning Fan was suddenly surprised and stopped in front of a strange ice sculpture.
This is a strange statue, carved from black ice, placed in the deepest part of the cave, with no known purpose.
When he searched the cave for the first time, Ning Fan was focused on the magic weapons, elixirs, and jade slips in the cave, and did not notice this strange statue.
It was only during the second investigation that he noticed this strange statue, and he noticed that there seemed to be a pool of weathered grass ash left in front of the statue.
Ning Fan knelt down and carefully observed the grass ashes. He found that these grass ashes were actually the remnants of the weathered futon.
This statue is not finished, only the beginning. It can barely be seen that this is a statue of a woman, because she is as long as her waist. Unfortunately, the face is not well carved, and the body is not well carved. However, there are still traces of the power of incense on the statue, which has obviously been used. The owner of the cave manor bowed earnestly.
Although the woman's body is not well carved, judging from the general shape of the statue, the woman's lower body should not be carved into legs, but intended to be carved into a fish tail.
A woman whose upper body is human and lower body is fish?
In Ning Fan's mind, Avro's voice suddenly appeared, and he secretly thought that the statue he wanted to carve was a mermaid woman?
Then here comes the problem. Why did the owner of this cave, the third son of the eight sons of the Water Sect, carve such a statue of a mermaid, and why did he worship her.
Seeing Ning Fan actually staring at this weird statue, Emperor Shenkong and others were surprised and said,
"What's wrong with this statue? Did fellow Taoist see some mystery in this statue?"
"No, not really. I just think it's a bit strange to have such an unfinished statue of a woman in a cave," Ning Fan replied.
"Isn't this strange? The five caves we broke through before all had a statue of a woman whose appearance and body could not be seen clearly. This woman is probably the teacher of the eight sons of the Water Sect, so she can make them sincerely worship her."
"Are there other caves too..."
Ning Fan shook his head, suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, turned around and walked out of the cave.
The moment he walked out of the cave, he seemed to feel that the statue woman with no facial features from behind him smiled at him - a smile that was chilling to the bone.
He turned back sharply and stared at the statue with a frown.
"Is there really something wrong with this statue?" Emperor Shenkong asked, checking the statue repeatedly, but of course nothing could be found.
"Be careful, I don't think something is right here..." Ning Fan said.
