Chapter 772: Senior Brother, You Were Wrong!

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

He had lived for hundreds of years and was one of Godly Void Pavilions three hundred disciples, known for being a True Immortal at that. Yet, he died at the hands of Ning Fan, a mere Fate Immortal!

Whether it was the cultivators from the Flowing Sand Clan, from the Alliance, or from Godly Void Pavilion, at this moment, each and every one stood gazing at the sky, varying degrees of shock marking their expressions.

Ning Fan initially intended to Soul Search but discovered a special prohibition planted in his divine sense, making the retrieval of memory impossible.

Abandoning his plan to Soul Search, he raised his hand to kill, sealed Xu Nians Spirit and stored it into a Soul Bag.

At the site where Xu Nian fell, crimson Dao light flickered, coalescing into a scarlet Dao Fruit.

The Enlightenment Dao Fruit!

The price of such an Enlightenment Dao Fruit ranges around a trillion Dao Crystals, and theyre generally not sold at market...

After this Enlightenment Dao Fruit took shape, countless old monsters revealed looks of greed and fervor, but none attempted to seize it.

Mux Tu dared not make a move, the True Immortal of Godly Void would not act, and the three True Immortals at the initial stage of Enlightenment from the Alliance believed themselves unable to snatch this Dao Fruit from Ning Fans grasp, thus dared not make a move either..

Ning Fans displayed prowess after slaying Xu Nian fully matched that of the initial stage of Enlightenment.

This strength, achieved without borrowing foreign aid, already rivals Enlightenment.

Furthermore, the three Enlightenment phase of the Alliance knew that Ning Fan possessed the powerful trump card of Divine Blast Technique...

Only individuals like Xu Nian, who held themselves in high esteem, would dare to make difficulties for Ning Fan.

Xu Nian was a disciple of an Immortal Emperor, protected by the Immortal Emperor, and typically, even when encountering Shedding Void Stage folk, he maintained an arrogant demeanor.

Before he struck, he hadnt inquired much about Ning Fans information nor did he consider the Ghost Profound Early Stage Ning Fan worthy of notice.

He was recently Enlightened, yet unsettled in his realm. Ning Fan, on the other hand, might already be the First Below Enlightenment in all of Eastern Heaven.

His background was likely not more profound than Ning Fans. His Mana was not necessarily substantially more abundant than Ning Fans. His Dao was undoubtedly not as formidable as Ning Fans.

Ning Fan had his own Dao; the gap between him and Xu Nian wasnt vast.

Xu Nians death at Ning Fans hand was no surprise.

Xu Nian might have been a weaker party within the initial Enlightenment stages, while Ning Fan killing Xu Nian didnt imply he could slay other initial Enlightenment cultivators.

Having collected the Enlightenment Dao Fruit and Xu Nians storage pouch, Ning Fan swallowed an expensive pill to recover Mana and then descended towards the ground.

Step by step, heading towards the direction of the little demoness.

The Flowing Sand Clan cultivators, upon seeing Ning Fan approaching, retreated like avoiding tigers and wolves, none dared to bear resentment towards Ning Fan; the previous incident of Ning Fan slaughtering Flowing Sand Clan members was no longer dared to be mentioned.

Among the Alliance cultivators, there was still a minority resisting Ning Fans sudden rise to Alliance Hierarch.

However, after Ning Fan killed Xu Nian, none dared to say he was unqualified to be Alliance Hierarch.

Though Ning Fan hadnt broken through Enlightenment, his standing was thoroughly equal to Enlightenment.

Seeing Ning Fan approaching, the little demoness immediately greeted him with a bright smile.

"Unexpected, husband, that you are so formidable, even able to slay Xu Nian... Xu Nian is one of Godly Void Pavilions three hundred disciples; his death may bring considerable trouble." Despite her smile, the little demoness tone harbored some concern.

"Hmm." Ning Fan responded blandly.

If trouble approached, trouble it would be; havent less troubles come his way?

Shenkong the Great Emperor was an Immortal Emperor, proud of his status would never personally step forward to trouble Ning Fan.

The time of an Immortal Emperor was valuably precious; why waste it on a Ghost Immortal junior?

Thus, even if Shenkong the Great Emperor sent people after Ning Fan, it would be at most Enlightenment or Shedding Void.

Of course, Ning Fan wouldnt be intimidated.

"Do you know the Shenhao Twin Emperors, husband?" The little demoness beautiful eyes flickered; she asked stealthily.

"I know. Shenxu Pavilion hosts two emperors, one is Shenkong the Great Emperor, the other, Emperor Xu Kong." Seeing the little demonesss solemn look, Ning Fan answered in kind.

"Xu Nian was a disciple of Shenkong the Great Emperor, whereas I am one of Xu Kongs three hundred disciples, holding the rank of Young Pavilion Master of Shenhao. Shenkong and Xu Kong have never been harmonious. You killed Xu Nian, but I can protect you!"

The little demonesss eyes unusually became serious, trying to assure Ning Fan she could neutralize the trouble.

Though Ning Fan didnt need the little demonesss protection, he was nonetheless grateful for her intention.

The commotion caused by Xu Nians death gradually settled, cultivators reentered the golden palace to discuss matters concerning the monster tide.

Mux Tu argued with the little demoness several times, but when beaten, he conceded to her full strategic arrangements.

Amongst the Alliance Masters and Flowing Sand Clan cultivators, several were chosen as bait, tasked to draw out the primary force of the monster tide.

In the event the Thirteen Demon Kings appeared, elite forces of Shenxu Pavilion would emerge, responsible for vanquishing the Thirteen Demon Kings.

The highlight of this monster tide centered solely around the Thirteen Demon Kings.

Once the thirteen Enlightenment formidable hybrid demons died, the rest were nothing to fear.

The Thirteen Demon Kings rarely left the Flowing Sand Star Sea; sufficient bait was needed to lure them out.

With Mux Tu holding the Flowing Sand Clan Leaders status, he couldnt be used as bait.

All three Enlightenment alliance masters became bait, even Ning Fan, the fifth hierarch, was among the bait selection.

The little demoness voluntarily joined the bait group as well.

With this level of substantial bait, theres assurance it could draw out the Thirteen Demon Kings.

The great battle was scheduled for a month later, as the toxic mist in the Flowing Sand Star Sea dissipates for a day every month.

Waiting for the toxic mist to disperse is crucial to lure and eliminate the Thirteen Demon Kings.

With the plan set, many aspects required thorough preparation.

For seven days straight, Ning Fan scarcely saw the little demoness.

During these seven days, she deployed unknown means to uncover a dozen demon race operatives from within the Flowing Sand Clan and Alliance.

There were Void Fragmentation and Fate Immortal operatives, each divine sense bearing prohibitions, making Soul Search impossible.

Indubitably, a certain conspiracy lurkd behind this monster tide.

As for the conspiracys origin, even the little demoness and Ning Fan couldnt fathom a conclusion.

Ning Fan initially planned to question the little demoness, but as she remained unseen for seven days busy, he could only hold his inquiries.

During these seven days, Ning Fan stayed in Xuan Yin Treasure, refining Xu Nian and other strong figures Spirit, greatly boosting the power of Divine Blast Technique.

The Incense Flame power plundered from the Flowing Sand temple was entirely refined by Ning Fan.

This raid yielded slightly more Incense Flame power than the Ancestor of the Yao Clans incense flames.

Regrettably, all the Incense Flame power combined only augmented Ning Fans mana by several folds, yet insufficient to breach Ghost Profound Middle Stage.

Transitioning to Ghost Profound Middle Stage demanded immense mana, tripling the incense flames might enable a realm breakthrough.

The Second Step realms, every minor advancement required thousands, if not tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands years of cultivation.

Though incense flames were shortcuts for progress, it wasnt almighty.

"Reaching Ghost Profound Middle Stage still feels distant..."

On the eighth day, Ning Fan flickered away from Xuan Yin Treasure.

Outside, the night was cool as water.

Just returned to the outer palace, he noticed a faint breath inside his room.

Crossing the partition, approaching the bed, he found a young girl in black sleeping on his bed; her weary face visible beneath the veil.

This girl is precisely the little demoness who has been busy for seven days, and once shes finished with her tasks, she comes to bother Ning Fan.

She doesnt sleep deeply, and her alertness is quite good. As soon as Ning Fan enters the room, she wakes up, but lazily she chooses not to open her eyes.

Sensing Ning Fan approaching, a slight arc forms on the little demonesss lips, a mischievous smile, as if she is still asleep casually turning her body, causing the sheer garment to slip off her fragrant shoulder slightly, revealing a considerable amount of snow-white skin...

"Such a poor sleeping posture..." Ning Fans gaze sweeps past the exposed snow-white skin of the little demoness, shaking his head helplessly, pulling the thin blanket over her.

Just as he turns to leave the room, the little demoness rubs her sleepy eyes, sits up from the bed, stretches comfortably, no longer pretending to sleep.

She initially planned to show off her body and tease Ning Fan a little, not expecting Ning Fans resolve to be so steadfast, completely unaffected by the temptation.

"I heard from Elder Luo that my husband is looking for me?" the little demoness asks with a smiling squint.

Elder Luo is precisely the Peak Crossing Truth Realm fellow who accompanied the little demoness this time.

"Yes. That Mu Tu has some issues, so be cautious. If Im not mistaken, hes hiding his cultivation level; his true cultivation is Initiate Realm of Shekong."

"Initiate Realm of Shekong! Indeed..." Upon hearing this, the little demoness is first slightly startled, then her delicate brows knit tightly, her expression extremely serious.

After a long while, the little demoness relaxes her brows, with a flick of her hand, producing a teacup from nowhere, sipping Spiritual Tea, smiling and looking at Ning Fan.

"Are you concerned about me?"

"Cant I be concerned about you? In the midst of life and death ordeal, we were a real couple. A days marriage means a hundred days of grace..." Ning Fan asks with a smile.

"Cough cough cough..." Upon hearing Ning Fan mention the life and death ordeal, the little demoness almost chokes on her tea, and despite her thick-skinned nature, her ears naturally flush slightly.

In the illusion of life and death ordeal, she served Ning Fan with the girl in the red long dress more than once...

Though it was just an illusion, her relationship with Ning Fan is already far from pure, isnt it?

The night breeze blows through the window lattice, creating a somewhat flirty and awkward atmosphere.

Seeing the little demoness somewhat shy, Ning Fan chuckles and changes the subject.

"Is there any grudge between the Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor and the Godly Void Pavilion? You once said that because I am the inheritor of Ancient Chaos, you would be entangled with me. Because I am the inheritor of Ancient Chaos, there will eventually be a battle between us... On that day, you publicly revealed my identity as an inheritor of Ancient Chaos, and all the cultivators of Godly Void Pavilion changed their expressions dramatically... I want to know the reason."

"Do you really want to know?" the little demoness gives a crafty smile.

"Yes."

"This is one of the secrets of Godly Void Pavilion, not to be leaked, but if you want to know, naturally Ill tell you secretly. But theres a question I want to ask you first, do you remember the third favor you owe me and havent repaid yet..."

"I remember, if youve thought about the third thing you want me to do, you can tell me, and Ill fulfill your wish." Ning Fan says frankly.

"Hehe, I really didnt pick the wrong person. I havent thought of the third thing yet; when I have, Ill let you know. Now, let me tell you about the relationship between the Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor and the Shenxu Progenitor..."

At this, the little demoness sits up hugging her knees, the night breeze blows, her skirt flutters slightly, revealing her fair ankles and delicate snow-white feet.

"The Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor and the Shenxu Progenitor, they were both enemies and friends, yet the Shenxu Progenitor harbored feelings for Ancient Chaos... Such feelings were naturally unrequited, and later, the Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor fell in a battle, and afterwards, the Shenxu Progenitor spent her life in solitude... The Progenitor had a last wish: For future Godly Void inheritors, if they meet the inheritors of Ancient Chaos, either entangle for life in a passionate affair to fulfill her wish; or a life and death duel, even if unable to guard each other, at least prove that Godly Void is not inferior to Ancient Chaos..."

"When I was in the lower realms, I encountered your masters wifea lady of Han Yuanji. Shes the Yin Yang Evil Vein, with a remarkable understanding of this vein, she could be considered an inheritor of Ancient Chaos... Shes a woman, and Im also a woman, so theres no way for us to guard each other for life in a passionate affair, thus only a duel of life and death remains. I originally intended to wait until her cultivation was stronger, then have a life and death duel with her. Unexpectedly, Han Yuanji was momentarily careless, leaving her half alive... Hence, I temporarily reside in Rain Immortal World Yue Country, Han Yuanji wants to save her, thus he needs to find another inheritor of Ancient Chaos. He found you, and I also found you."

"Hehe, does my husband wish to entangle with me for life or... have a life and death duel!"

After saying this, the little demoness puts on a serious face, her expression appearing quite solemn.

Ning Fan remains silent the whole time, listening to the little demonesss story.

Upon hearing the little demonesss question, he smiles and shakes his head.

This question doesnt need answering, does it?

He wont become enmies with the little demoness, wont have a life and death duel with her.

Entangling for life seems pretty nice, though sometimes this girl can be really annoying...

"You dont say anything, should I take it as you voluntarily intend to entangle with me for life? This isnt something Im forcing upon you using the third condition." the little demoness cunningly smiles.

"Alright."

Ning Fan nods, then adds, "Its rumored that Godly Void Pavilion has two forbidden grounds, one being Tomb of the Gods, commonly called the Divine Tomb, housing countless fiendgod inheritances; the other is Godly Void Heavenly Prison, commonly called the Heavenly Prison, where countless Eastern Heaven criminals are imprisoned..."

"Do you wish to enter the Divine Tomb for the second inheritance of Ancient Chaos Grand EmperorChaos Ring Decision?" the little demoness smiles wisely, seeing through Ning Fans intentions at once.

"Yes." Ning Fan is momentarily stunned but doesnt deny it.

"The Divine Tomb has nine layers, the first three layers house numerous one-star to three-star fiendgod inheritances, open to all Four Heavens cultivators. Anyone can enter as long as they pay enough Dao Crystals to seek the fiendgod cultivation method they desire. The fourth to sixth layers house numerous four-star to six-star fiendgod inheritances, only open to Godly Void Pavilions internal cultivators, requiring sect contributions to enter. The seventh to ninth layers contain fiendgod inheritances above seven-stars; such critical grounds, even I have only one chance to enter, having obtained the complete inheritance of Void Scripture... You cant enter... unless you..."

The little demoness sighs lightly, leaving the sentence unfinished.

Chaos Ring Decision is a nine-star fiendgod cultivation method, Ancient Chaos Grand Emperors strongest attack skill.

This inheritance must be hidden beneath the seventh layer. That depth Ning Fan cant access... unless...

Ning Fan asks, "Unless what?"

"Godly Void Pavilion has the Shenhao Twin Emperors, each overseeing a forbidden ground in my pavilion. Shenkong the Great Emperor oversees the Divine Tomb, while Emperor Xu Kong oversees the Heavenly Prison... Unless you gain Shenkong the Great Emperors favor, allowed to enter below the seventh layer, or hold the Ancestor TokenGodly Void Token, otherwise even if you have Immortal Emperor cultivation, you cant enter the seventh layer..."

The little demonesss eyes reveal a slight apologetic look.

If she hadnt called Ning Fan her husband, Xu Nian wouldnt have given Ning Fan trouble; Ning Fan wouldnt have had to kill Xu Nian and offend Shenkong the Great Emperor.

Perhaps she could, with her means, make Shenkong the Great Emperor ignore Ning Fans responsibility.

Unfortunately, she never had any means to make Shenkong the Great Emperor favor Ning Fan, allowing him entry to the depths of the Divine Tomb.

Upon hearing this, Ning Fan furrows his brow and sighs,

"Without Shenkong the Great Emperors permission, unable to enter the depths of the Divine Tomb to seek Chaos Ring Decision inheritance, what a pity..."

"If you separate from me, or simply become my enemy, cut off my head and present it to Shenkong the Great Emperor, he should regain good favor towards you~" the little demoness giggles.

"..." Ning Fan is speechless looking at the little demoness.

How could he, for a cultivation method, cut off her head, kneel for glory?

"The battle will arrive in over twenty days, before that you should rest well, it looks like there will be more for you to handle later. Im leaving now..."

Ning Fan turns to leave, seemingly intending to give his residence to the little demoness for some rest.

Seeing Ning Fans calm as water demeanor, the little demoness smiles proudly; she knew she wouldnt pick the wrong person.

How could Ning Fan be someone who goes against his heart for profit?

Hes too stubborn, too obstinate; there are few things in this world likely capable of making him bow his head.

"Wait. Husband should also be careful of Mu Tu... he might not just have Initiate Realm of Shekong cultivation... he could be, very dangerous!"

Just as Ning Fan is about to exit the room, the little demoness suddenly reminds.

"Alright, I will be careful!"

...

Within the Flowing Sand Realm, Mu Tu supports himself with a Golden Scepter, standing in the boundless night of the desert.

In this unnoticed place, a frenzy gradually emerges in his murky eyes!

"Godly Voids people have already pursued, my time is running out... actions, need to be pushed forward!"

"Senior brother, this time you were truly wrong! You were mistaken!"

"This time, I will surely destroy Godly Void Pavilion, destroy Heavenly Prison!"

"Misty rain... I will let you see the blooming magnificence of Eastern Heaven Immortal World once more! That restricting Heaven Suppressing Bell, I will personally destroy it!"

"Whoever blocks, dies!"
