A mountain full of cattle?
Ning Fan had never heard of this name, so naturally he didn't know what grudge this person had with Immortal Emperor Zi Dou.
If Emperor Jin Heng were here, with his understanding of the secrets of Jiehe, he might know the whole story, but Ning Fan didn't know anyway.
The seal tower outside is still swaying, which is proof that Emperor Jin Heng and others are determined to destroy the seal tower. Unfortunately, Niu Manshan strengthened the defense of the seal tower countless times with just a wave of his hand, and did not intend to give Emperor Jin Heng and others a chance to break the tower.
When talking about the grudges from back then, Niu Manshan couldn't let it go no matter what. Seeing that Ning Fan really didn't know about it, his anger subsided slightly, and with a cold face, he cut out the complicated things and told them to Ning Fan.
It is said that on the day when a certain ancient emperor attained enlightenment, God's will transformed him into a sword and cut off half of his palm, transforming him into a clan of beetles, which was the beginning of the beetle clan.
The beetle skin patterns of the beetle clan are extremely powerful, but for some unknown reason, this clan has never been able to give birth to a true saint from ancient times to the present, and those with the highest cultivation level are only quasi-sages.
From ancient times to the present, the strong men of the Tianniu clan have been looking for the method of becoming a saint. In order to give birth to a saint, this clan has served countless saints and rebel saints, just to seek a future.
It's a pity that no saint or counter-sage is willing to help this tribe give birth to a saint; everyone said that if you want to help the Tianniu tribe give birth to a saint, the cost is very high.
After several twists and turns, this clan finally attached itself to the notorious Immortal Emperor Zi Dou. Because of Immortal Emperor Zi Dou's words, he said that he intended to pay a price to help this clan give birth to a saint, but it required the Tianniu clan to wait patiently for him. This matter can only be done after the intruders in the Purple Dou Immortal Domain have been pacified.
[Now there is an invasion from the Tribulation Clan in Nichen Sea, and the war is not over yet. After repelling the invaders, I will enlighten a saint for your Tianniu tribe. 】This is the promise made by Immortal Emperor Zi Dou back then!
So the Tianniu clan waited patiently, and waited until the Zi Dou Immortal Realm was destroyed. In the end, Immortal Emperor Zi Dou died before he could help this clan give birth to a saint.
Countless powerful men from the Tianniu tribe died in battle to protect the Zi Dou Immortal Realm; only a handful of powerful Tien Niu tribe men were ordered to guard the Jiehe Sealing Tower for the Zi Dou Immortal Emperor early on, so they were not buried with the Zi Dou Immortal Realm.
The very few strong men of the Tianniu Tribe have always abided by their contract with the Immortal Emperor Zi Dou. Their bodies turned into sealing towers to guard the boundary river, and their true spirits turned into loyal guards, guarding the sealing towers and suppressing foreign races.
Even if the Zi Dou Immortal Realm is destroyed, even if the Zi Dou Immortal Emperor falls, even if countless years pass by, those powerful Tianniu people always firmly believe that the Zi Dou Immortal Emperor has not forgotten them. Maybe Immortal Emperor Zi Dou had some kind of plan before his death to fulfill his promise back then and help the Tianniu tribe give birth to a saint.
However there is no…
All expectations only ended in disappointment.
A billion years have passed, and the true spirits of the long-horned beetles guarding the sealing tower of the East Boundary River have grown old and died one after another. Their immortal life has been exhausted, and they have been wiped out by the catastrophe. Only the sealing tower transformed by their remains remains, forever guarding the Boundary River.
Niu Manshan is the last member of the Tianniu tribe. If he also dies, the bloodline of the Tianniu tribe will be cut off...
Unlike other Tianniu clan members, he did not believe in the Immortal Emperor Zi Dou, not from the beginning. He has advised his tribe countless times to leave the Purple Dou Immortal Domain, return to the Tianniu Tribe’s clan, and give up their illusory wish to become a saint, but the Tianniu Tribe doesn’t listen! So he could only watch helplessly as his clan members passed away one by one for a far-fetched agreement...
"Is the senior's hatred towards Immortal Emperor Zi Dou because Emperor Zi Dou did not have time to fulfill his promise? Therefore, whenever Zi Dou Immortal cultivators enter this tower with the intention of repairing the seal, you kill them. Is this revenge?" Ning Fan sighed and asked.
It can be inferred that Immortal Emperor Zi Dou did not intend to deceive the Tianniu clan. In that situation, even the Zi Dou Immortal Emperor himself fell, and the entire Zi Dou Immortal Domain was destroyed. How could he care about the sanctification of the little Tianniu clan...
After all, it was Zi Douxian Xiu who defeated the Tianniu clan.
If Niu Manshan repeatedly retaliates because of this, although Ning Fan can understand it, he cannot agree with it.
"Hmph! Don't think of me, the Tianniu clan, as a treacherous villain! The Zi Dou Immortal cultivators who died on the top of the tower here were all ancient monks, and they were all deserving of death, or people controlled by the thoughts of calamity. That year , I have not really determined to betray the Purple Dou Immortal Realm. These people came to the top of the tower not to repair the seal, but to tear it open and cause trouble to the dream world, so they were killed by me! So did I. In recent years, I have become disheartened and truly determined to break the seal and escape from this place... In the Age of Ending Law, no Zi Douxian cultivator has the ability to go down to the boundary river and come here to repair the seal, so I have never killed anyone. Which Dongtian monk? In the past 100 million years, you are still the Dongtian monk who has entered this place, and you are also the only descendant of Zi Dou who was almost killed by me!"
When it comes to attacking Ning Fan, Niu Manshan doesn't feel any guilt, but only feels deep disappointment - disappointment in the Immortal Emperor Zi Dou.
Niu Manshan continued to tell the story. He no longer wanted to abide by the contract and guard the boundary river for Zi Dou Immortal Emperor.
The seal of the Zi Dou Immortal Emperor not only sealed the Jiehe alien race, but also sealed the true spirits of the Tianniu tribe such as Niu Manshan. They could not leave the seal tower for the rest of their lives unless the Immortal Emperor's seal was destroyed. It was by chance that Niu Manshan was able to escape from the seal tower once without the Immortal Emperor's seal being damaged.
It was because Niu Manshan walked out of the sealing tower this time that the Tianying clan was completely destroyed, and they all died at the hands of Niu Manshan!
It is a pity that Niu Manshan had just walked out of the sealing tower and was in an extremely weak state; he was also besieged by the quasi-sages of the alien race, including the blood god Gengwu. Even though Niu Manshan showed great bravery and killed several quasi-sages of the Tianying tribe. , even more severely injured the blood god Genghei, but those alien quasi-sages saw the opportunity, jointly seriously injured, and destroyed the seal tower.
The sealing tower was the embodiment of Niu Manshan's body and was its foundation. Once the tower was destroyed, Niu Manshan's true spirit was implicated and disappeared into thin air.
This dissipation is not death, but sleep. If someone can repair the seal tower, Niu Manshan can wake up again with the space in the tower.
Niu Manshan did not hide these things from Ning Fan and informed them all.
After hearing these stories, Ning Fan sympathized with the Tianniu tribe's plight. But sympathy is sympathy, and he will not give up repairing the Immortal Emperor's seal just because of this reason.
"Having said so much, how can the senior allow the junior to repair the seal here? Mingren will not tell secrets. If there is really no room for negotiation on this matter, there is no way that the senior will talk nonsense with the junior! Set out your conditions. If the juniors are within their means, we can still discuss it." Ning Fan said straight to the point.
"Forget it, at this point, it would be too much for me to take Qiao again. As long as you agree to my three requests, I will allow you to repair the Immortal Emperor's seal here!"
"any request!"
"First, you need to help me escape from this tower!"
"This...senior is controlled by the Immortal Emperor's seal. Unless all seals are destroyed, he cannot escape. It is impossible for junior to destroy all the seals on the East Boundary River and help senior escape. I'm sorry that junior cannot agree to this request!" Ning Fan refused.
"Hey, who told you that if you want to escape from here, you must destroy all the Immortal Emperor's seals? If so, how did I go out and slaughter the Tianying Clan if the Immortal Emperor's seals were not completely broken last time?"
"That means there is some way to escape despite the Immortal Emperor's seal?" Ning Fan was surprised.
"Yes! But this method requires a high price, but with your help, the price I pay can undoubtedly be reduced a lot. How about, will you agree to this request?"
“…”
Ning Fan frowned and remained silent.
If Niu Manshan could be rescued without destroying the Immortal Emperor's seal, Ning Fan would not be unable to agree to this request.
The question is...will Niu Manshan take revenge on Zi Douxianxiu after escaping from the seal tower and the boundary river?
There is no doubt that Niu Manshan hates Zi Douxianxiu. If this person regains his freedom, will he go to the east to kill...
"I know what you are worried about. Next, is my second request. I can swear an oath from my inner demons. As long as I regain my freedom, I will never take revenge on the descendants of Zi Dou; of course, small-scale Revenge is still necessary. Once I am free, I must kill one billion Zi Dou descendants to vent my anger! Do you agree with this request?"
"Impossible!" Ning Fan's eyes turned cold and he refused without even thinking.
How could he let Niu Manshan go on a killing spree in the Four Heavens and Nine Realms!
"Eight hundred million! Eight hundred million is enough. I am willing to be generous and not kill all the descendants of Zi Dou. It is already very generous. You must know that the entire Tianniu clan died because of Zi Dou Immortal Domain. Zi Dou Douxian Emperor broke his promise, doesn't he need to pay some price?" Niu Manshan said dissatisfied, blaming Ning Fan for his ignorance.
It's just 800 million people dead. What's that big deal? He has already given in. If Ning Fan still refuses to agree, he will not give him face!
"No!" Ning Fan refused coldly.
"Six hundred million!"
"no!"
"Five billion!"
"Not even one! If after you are rescued, you harbor a desire for revenge against Zi Douxian Xiu, I will never let you go!" Ning Fan sneered.
"What a shame, you don't have any sincerity in negotiating, let's just drop this matter!"
"That's good. In that case, I will go to other seal towers to repair the seals. There are three seal towers on the sixth road, and this is not the only one! But if this happens, senior will never be able to help you get out of trouble, and even junior will try to stop it. Senior, get out of trouble!"
"How dare you threaten me! You are seeking death!" Niu Manshan was furious. He hated being threatened the most. He raised his hand and used spatial skin patterns to capture and kill Ning Fan.
Ning Fan sneered. He knew from a very young age that if he wanted to negotiate with others on an equal footing, he must have equal strength. He dared to talk nonsense to Niu Manshan just because he had that ability!
laugh!
Niu Manshan's space skin pattern has been sucked into another space!
With the help of Niu Manshan's spatial suction, Ning Fan approached Niu Manshan in an instant and slashed him with his sword.
"hateful!"
This time Niu Manshan was more alert and dodged quickly without being stabbed by the Yuanyuan Broken Sword. Even so, cold sweat broke out on his forehead again because he was almost stabbed by the lotus sword intent.
After one move, Niu Manshan's anger subsided slightly and he glared at Ning Fan with gritted teeth.
If he couldn't kill Ning Fan, he would definitely eat Ning Fan alive to satisfy his hatred. Then he would put down his worth as a great ancient cultivator and make a deal with Ning Fan, the Immortal King.
"I can agree to the first request of the senior, but the junior also has a request. After the senior is out of trouble, he must stay with the junior for three thousand years! Within three thousand years, the junior will plant a ban on the senior as a restraint; after three thousand years, the junior will let go Senior is free, but senior must also promise not to kill a Zi Dou Immortal cultivator indiscriminately in this life!" Ning Fan in turn made a request to Niu Manshan.
"Impossible! Who am I? How can I take orders from you! Not to mention three thousand years, even three hundred years, not even thirty years!"
"In this case, let's both take a step back! I can promise to help senior get out of trouble, and senior must promise not to kill any Zi Dou Immortal cultivator indiscriminately after freedom. If you can't agree to this request, it is absolutely impossible for junior to let senior out of trouble. !" Ning Fan knew that Niu Manshan would never surrender to him, so he gave way to the trail slightly.
"this…"
Niu Manshan finally figured it out. It was Ning Fan's bottom line not to kill Zi Douxianxiu indiscriminately. He really couldn't understand what happened to Ning Fan, who killed hundreds of millions of people! For a powerful monk, it's just a trivial matter, okay? If it were someone else negotiating with him, they might not agree to this matter. Sacrificing hundreds of millions of people can repair the Immortal Emperor's seal and protect thousands of times more Dongtian monks. No matter how you look at it, Dongtian will make a profit.
However, Ning Fan refused to refuse this matter so stubbornly, and even did not hesitate to fight with him again...
This guy's principles are a bit too strong...
"That's all. I can swear an oath of inner demons, or even a great oath of cause and effect. If you save me from trouble, I will never kill any Zi Dou descendant indiscriminately." Of course, if the other party takes the initiative to provoke me, then Don't blame me for taking a reasonable action and killing him!
Hum! There are so many conflicts of interest in the world of cultivation. Even if I don't take the initiative, as long as there is a profit, there will still be Zi Dou descendants who don't know whether to live or die and come to trouble me...
Slowly kill these ignorant people, and one day we can kill a billion...
"The great oath of cause and effect?" Ning Fan was surprised. This was the first time he had heard of such an oath.
"This is an oath of a higher standard than the Inner Demon Oath. Even the third-step saint must abide by it. I have sworn this oath and will not violate it no matter what. Don't worry!" Niu Manshan explained.
"By the way, my second request is to kill one billion people. Since you don't agree, I have to make another request." Niu Manshan said again.
"Can."
"Although I have just woken up, I have collected some information through some channels. I am very interested in this Jiehe Chaos. I want to go to the West after getting out of trouble and meet the Buddha of this generation in the West. Let's fight. Don't worry, I won't go to the west to kill people randomly. There are so many sword intentions in the third step, and your lotus sword intention is just one of them, and it has a fate with Buddha. How about giving your broken sword to me? "
“…”
Ning Fan frowned and pondered slightly.
The lotus sword intention in the Fate-Destroying Sword is so precious, how could Ning Fan not know it. For an ancient major cultivator to value it so highly, it must be something other than an ordinary thing. The price of exchanging this item for seal repair is a bit high.
But it was just a foreign object, and Ning Fan was still willing to give it up. No matter what, he will not sit back and watch the people he values die in the Dongtian Rebellion.
"I can agree to this."
"Oh? You are so generous even if you agree to such a request!" Niu Manshan smiled brightly and raised his hand to take the Yuanyuan Broken Sword in Ning Fan's hand.
"Not yet! Repair the seal first, and then give you the broken sword!" Ning Fan avoided Niu Manshan's big hand and said calmly.
"What a trouble! Who am I? Would you regret taking your treasure? I have sworn a great oath of cause and effect!" Niu Manshan said dissatisfied.
"Your oath of cause and effect only included that you would not kill innocent people indiscriminately, but you did not say that you would definitely let me repair the Immortal Emperor's seal. I will give you this thing after the work is completed!" Ning Fan said on guard.
He put away the Broken Edge Sword, and at the same time secretly retained a very small trace of sword intent...
The small amount of sword energy retained is not enough to kill people, but if it is used for enlightenment, it is still possible. Although Ning Fan decided to give this thing away, he was still interested in the Lotus Sword Intent and decided to keep a trace of it and study it slowly.
"What a petty person! Anyway, next is my third request. I need a son to inherit the blood of my Tianniu clan! You can agree to this!"
"Inherited bloodline?" Ning Fan frowned.
For mortals, it is easy to have a son. If you have more children, you can have more children. Even if there is infertility disease, it may not be incurable.
But for monks, it is never easy to give birth to a son. The higher the cultivation level, the more difficult it is to give birth to an heir; the stronger the bloodline, the more difficult it is.
The bloodline of the Tianniu clan is naturally extremely strong, what's more, Niu Manshan is an ancient cultivator and has almost lost the ability to give birth to future generations.
Unless there is the help of the longhorn clan's sacrificial weapon, or another secret method is found to conceive an heir...
"Don't worry! We, the Tianniu clan, take things like parent-child adoption very lightly. I am not looking for a biological son, I just want to find an adopted son who matches the Tianniu skills and pass on the Tianniu bloodline. The Tianniu bloodline, It cannot be cut off in my hands, you must agree to this matter!"
"If you just want to find an adopted son, it's not difficult."
"In that case, you can be my son!"
Niu Manshan looked at Ning Fan with an expression like "you've made a lot of money, you brat" and "you haven't agreed yet".
Ning Fan was speechless.
He has a father and a mother, so why should he recognize another adoptive father?
"I have parents."
"Well, that's not possible. Our Tianniu clan has a rule that when we accept adopted children, we cannot accept people whose parents are still alive! No, no, no, you are not qualified to be my son! When your parents are dead, come to me to recognize your father! "
Niu Manshan said to Ning Fan with a look of disgust.
Ning Fan's face turned dark immediately. Can this Niu Manshan speak human language?
"Your parents are just dead!"
"Hmph! My parents are already dead, and they died fighting for the Purple Dou Immortal Realm! Even my adopted son, thirteen people died in the battle! Hateful, hateful!" Speaking of this, Niu Manshan I was so filled with hatred that I wished I could kill all Zi Douxianxiu.
But in fact, he must also be struggling in his heart to take revenge on Zi Douxianxiu.
With so many tribesmen dying to protect the Purple Dou Immortal Realm, is he really willing to destroy the world that the Tianniu tribe members fight to protect...
Ning Fan expressed great doubts.
From the beginning, he could vaguely see that Niu Manshan was not telling the truth about many things and was struggling in his heart. Otherwise, he would never waste time talking nonsense with this person.
If this person can devote himself to Zi Dou Xian Xiu, after getting out of trouble, he can undoubtedly add an extremely powerful fighting force to Zi Dou Xian Xiu.
Of course, if this person is released without restrictions, he may become a major disaster in the four worlds and nine realms. How to restrict it requires Ning Fan to work hard and balance...
"You, the Tianniu clan, are all loyal and loyal." Ning Fan sighed.
Ning Fan's words were out of sincerity and made Niu Manshan very comfortable. It's one thing that he doesn't like Zi Douxianxiu, but he is still very happy to hear other people praising his tribe.
"I originally wanted to accept you as my adopted son, but unfortunately, you do not meet the conditions. Let's change my third request. After I get out of trouble, you must promise to help me find some sons! I I don’t want you to help me in vain. Every time you find an additional son, I will give you some benefits, how about it!”
"Can."
Ning Fan calculated that among the weirdos under him, many of them seemed to have lost their parents. If Wu Laoba and others were asked to be Niu Manshan's sons, I don't know if Wu Laoba and others would refuse...
Now that the agreement was reached, Niu Manshan reiterated the treaty, high-fived Ning Fan and made a double vow of inner demons and cause and effect, making an agreement.
Then, Niu Manshan took the initiative to help Ning Fan and repair the Immortal Emperor's seal.
However, Ning Fan was not allowed to repair all the seals at once, but some were left unrepaired.
According to Niu Manshan, the Immortal Emperor's seal does not need to be repaired to a non-destructive state. It is enough at this moment to restrict all foreign races from entering the water.
If the seal is really repaired to a lossless state, on the one hand, Ning Fan will have to pay a huge price, and his cultivation may be damaged; on the other hand, a lossless seal will not allow Niu Manshan to escape...
Niu Manshan has longed for freedom from the outside world for a long time.
He doesn't want to die here, he also wants to continue his bloodline outside for the Tianniu clan.
The damage degree of the Immortal Emperor's seal had originally reached 86%. This time, Ning Fan repaired the Immortal Emperor's seal to 99% completeness in one breath, but did not repair the last 10%. He checked it out and found that repairing the seal perfectly would indeed cost him a lot, so he gave up as he was told.
The power of the seal is enough to barely protect Dongtian. There is no need to pursue perfection. Ning Fan is not the kind of person who puts his life on the line in pursuit of perfection.
Finally, Ning Fan's purpose of diving into the water was achieved!
At the moment when the seal was repaired to 99%, the expressions of all the powerful aliens changed and became furious!
Emperor Jin Heng and others outside the sealing tower were stunned at first, and then ecstatic!
"Dongtian, it's safe!" Emperor Jin Heng and others laughed happily. They didn't expect Ning Fan to be able to repair the Immortal Emperor's seal despite the danger of the ancient overhaul level. It's really incredible!
"Dongtian is safe, but you must die!!!"
It was the angry voice of the foreign great priest, echoing throughout the ruins of the Tianying Clan!
The chaos in the East Boundary River has come to an end with the restoration of the Immortal Emperor's seal!
The alien race's plan to cause chaos in Dongtian has since become a piece of paper!
How can we not hate it!
The alien chief priest was almost going crazy!
He imagined countless situations when he came to the Tianying Clan, but unexpectedly, as soon as he came to the Tianying Clan, he found that the other party had already repaired the Immortal Emperor's seal!
This repair is so fast! Could it be that...that Niu Manshan actually took the initiative to help the visitor repair the seal!
How can this be!
Didn't Niu Manshan hate Zi Douxianxiu to the core?
Why did you take the initiative to help Zi Douxian Xiu!
Could it be that the person Zi Douxian Xiu sent to repair the tower was someone who was extremely good at evasion, and he actually directly persuaded Niu Manshan to help repair the seal!
"Who is it! Who has ruined this big thing for me? I want to cut him into pieces!"
The roar of the foreign great priest, carrying the terrifying pressure of the second-level quasi-sage, was like the sky overturning the sea, pressing down on Emperor Jin Heng and others below.
A moment ago, Emperor Jin Heng and others were still overjoyed.
The next moment, his face turned pale with horror!
Because the alien army has arrived!
Not only are the foreign great priests with second-level quasi-sage cultivation coming, but behind the foreign great priests, there are several quasi-sages with an aura as strong as the sky, sealing this place with no way to escape!
"I'll die if I wait!"
"Fortunately, I died a worthy death, a worthy death!"
"I have been selfish all my life. I never thought that one day I would die for the sake of the prosperity of the world. Hahaha, very good, very good! You have lived up to my lifelong practice!"
Emperor Jin Heng and others suddenly laughed loudly. Even though their faces turned pale under the fierce power of the foreign great priest, they still laughed without fear.
They came to the bottom of the water only after they were well aware of it. Seeking benevolence and getting benevolence, so what's the point of complaining!
"Suffer death!"
The great alien priest waved his hand, and all the quasi-sages behind him rushed toward Emperor Jin Heng and others.
In the sealing tower, Ning Fan, who sensed this, was about to take action when suddenly a few sighs came out of thin air from the uninhabited water.
"Hey, I didn't expect that I and I, the quasi-sages of Dongtian, have cultivated the Tao for a lifetime, but instead cultivated the bloody nature. We are always wary and cautious, but we are not as good as these juniors who can see through life and death. You have done a good job, you can retire! The next thing can be left to us old immortals!"
Suddenly there was a violent light coming from the bottom of the water!
In the light, Xiang Jiezi, Taoist Mu Song, Old Man Houtu and several quasi-sages of the Nan tribe appeared in front of everyone!
As the quasi-sages of Dongtian, they were finally driven by their sense of responsibility and came to the bottom of the most dangerous boundary river!
One by one, the Immortal Emperor, Immortal King, and Immortal Lord of Dongtian who did not participate in this operation appeared under the water, and they all came with the Quasi-Sage of Dongtian!
Among them, there were actually the girls of Dongtian headed by Zhan Yue, as well as Wu Laoba and other subordinates that Ning Fan had subjugated!
"Where is that little guy!"
Zhan Yue's cold gaze, with a hint of imperceptible anxiety, swept over the ruins of the Tianying Clan.
After realizing that Ning Fan was in the seal tower and his breath was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Bold! A mere quasi-sage from Dongtian actually dares to act so recklessly at the bottom of our boundary river. Don't you want to live?"
An alien first-level quasi-sage roared and rushed directly in the direction of Zai Yue.
Zhan Yue snorted disdainfully, and a Moonlight Pilian with the aura of a first-level quasi-sage suddenly shot out, beating the alien quasi-sage to the point where he fell back in a panic, vomiting blood slightly, and was shocked.
"Quasi Saint! When did you appear among the Quasi Saints of Dongtian? Who are you!"
"You ask who I am? Listen up, I am the concubine of [Eastern Yama], Zangyue! You want to touch that little guy, I am very angry!"
