Grasping Evil - Chapter 204

Chapter 204

His eyes were fixed on the young man who suddenly appeared without a sound like how a ghost would, making his face dark . On his gloomy face was also a trace of fear deeply hidden inside him .

Zhou Ming… He was the killer of Xiang Liao’s brother… He was the powerful devil who could kill a Peak Nascent Soul Realm expert!

Why is he here?!

Such immense Violent Qi… This man is just an Early Nascent Soul Realm cultivator . There’s no mistake… Can he really kill a Peak Nascent Soul Realm expert?

The Violent Qi which their enemy didn’t conceal made each and every one of the Nascent Soul Realm experts of the Xiang Clan to feel anxious .

Even Xiang Liao was shocked inside… Despite the countless carnage he had been through, he felt that he could still not match Zhou Ming!

Dread filled his heart . The atmosphere of the hall turned sober . After contemplating all the possible scenarios he could think of, his lips curved into a smirk .

So what if he killed Luofei? I, too, possess the power to kill him!

As a matter of fact, no one knew that Xiang Liao had reached the final bottleneck of reaching Spirit Severing Realm!

Similarly, no one knew that his plan of annihilating the Pill Cauldron Gate was actually an excuse for him to snatch all the human cauldrons and Dao Fruit so that he could prepare to break through his bottleneck!

Once he attains the Spirit Severing Realm, the External Endless Sea would have a new Spirit Severing Realm expert other than the ten Spirit Severing Realm experts of the top ten sects and the three Spirit Severing Realm rogue cultivators! The Xiang Clan would become one of the most powerful forces in the External Endless Sea . And then, he would be able to occupy some of the islands in the External Endless Sea and rule them!

At least, this was the aspect that Zhou Ming was not a match for him!

He, Xiang Liao, was a Peak Nascent Soul Realm expert that was close to breaking through to the Spirit Severing Realm expert!

“Zhou Ming… Hmmph! You sure you want to help the Pill Cauldron Gate?! I have yet to get even with you for killing my brother and now you still want to make trouble for yourself for helping them?! Hahaha, you’re being ridiculous! Do you think our Xiang Clan is weak and is easy to bully? Being unable to distinguish between cheese and chalk is the fastest way to get yourself killed in the External Endless Sea! If you’re sensible enough, then get lost!”

Xiang Liao no longer put Ning Fan within his eyes!

“You want me to get lost? With just you? It’s not enough!” Ning Fan displayed a contemptuous smile at him .

“You’re courting death!”

Xiang Liao was infuriated and took a big step forward . The aura emanated from his eyes became more intimidating and the primordial power around his body surged wildly as if he was a celestial being from the heavens!

As his aura intensified, it spread all over the auction hall, increasing the air pressure as if the atmosphere itself was being compressed by the power of heaven and earth . Everyone at the scene began to suffocate and gasped for air . Those who know the situation were greatly shocked .

Judging from Xiang Liao’s aura, it seems he has reached a state where his power has merged with his heart . In other words, this Xiang Liao has discovered the bottleneck of the Spirit Severing Realm! Rather than saying that he’s a Peak Nascent Soul Realm expert, it would be more accurate to consider him as… a Half-Step Spirit Severing Realm expert!

When he took another step forward, it was as if his foot was stomping on everyone’s Hearts of Dao, echoing a loud bang!

Meanwhile, the other sixteen Nascent Soul Realm experts of the Xiang Clan held their magical treasures in their hands and readied their battle stance . They planned to make a joint attack on Ning Fan after their old ancestor makes a move to attack him, killing him in a single blow!

Xiang Liao opened his mouth wide and nine tiny cauldrons reflecting blood light flew out from inside it . As they soared into the sky, each of every one of them enlarged, turning into magical treasures that emitted the might equivalent to a High Supreme Grade magical treasure . Anyone who stood below them could feel a pressure like that of Mount Tai falling down on them . Their power was peerless!

Every Gold Core Realm expert at the scene spurted blood . Their expressions hardened in shock and were all rendered gravely injured! Although they were just indirectly hit by the residual power from the battle of magical techniques, the qi and flow of blood within their bodies were disrupted . None of them had the thought of staying any longer in the auction! Zhou Ming truly was powerful but this Xiang Liao seemed to be stronger than him… If the nine gigantic cauldrons smashes onto the ground, a thousand li within the oasis would be flattened!

Only Nascent Soul Realm experts dared to stay and watch the battle . However, all of them prepared their magical treasures to defend themselves . Within their minds, they were speculating what the outcome would be of the battle between Zhou and Xiang .

All of them thought that Zhou Ming would definitely lose as Xiang Liao was already a Half-Step Spirit Severing Realm expert . The total magic power he had was at least 5000 units, making him undefeatable by any ordinary Peak Nascent Soul Realm experts! Aside from that, the nine cauldrons were mysteriously powerful and no one had any idea of what their full potential were…Anyhow, it would still be extremely difficult for Xiang Liao to kill Zhou Ming . Everyone was curious why Zhou Ming did not run away knowing that he himself could not match Xiang Liao… But none of them urged Zhou Ming to flee . To them, the best result would be Zhou Ming going all-out and hurting Xiang Liao while suffering grievous injuries . The seventy Nascent Soul Realm experts would then take advantage of the situation and rob him of what he had!

They were expecting Zhou Ming’s defeat!

However, a few seconds later, everything had gone out of their expectations! Their intentions to take advantage of him were bound to be only wishful thoughts!

Ning Fan made a move at the same time the experts from the Xiang Clan launched their attacks!

He took a step in mid-air but what others saw was just his afterimage . Within an instant, he had made nine steps in total . Every step he made was comparable to pounding on heaven and earth, making the entire oasis to quake uncontrollably . On the ninth step, a sword of heaven and earth emanating an overbearing aura sent out a shockwave spreading raging sword qi in every direction . Xiang Liao’s Half-Step Spirit Severing Realm aura was dispersed!

In his eyes, the so-called Half-Step Spirit Severing Realm aura was not even worth mentioning!

The other Nascent Soul Realm attackers were taken by surprise . 11 Early Nascent Soul Realm experts spat out blood and fell down on the ground, critically injured! Among them, 4 Mid Nascent Soul Realm experts and 1 Late Nascent Soul Realm expert managed to withstand his attack using their own respective defensive techniques with great effort . Despite that, each of them looked haggard . Their plan to make a combined attack on Ning Fan was forcefully stopped! Now, all the old monsters of Xiang Clan who had always behaved superciliously gasped in astonishment!

As for Xiang Liao, his face was also filled with surprise . At his current cultivation realm, he only managed to barely comprehend the power of heaven and earth . To wield a sword congealed from the power of heaven and earth, it was absolutely out of his capabilities! He never expected that Zhou Ming could summon a sword from the invisible power of heaven and earth in his ninth step! This kind of technique… He only witnessed it before from genuine Spirit Severing Realm experts!

Apart from surprise, his eyes flashed with envy and hatred . He envied Ning Fan for having the ability to display a Spirit Severing Realm technique while being only at the Early Nascent Soul Realm!

Ning Fan knew what Xiang Liao was thinking, especially his hatred and jealousy . The next second, cold light flashed across Ning Fan’s eyes and the lightning star on his glabella twinkled . A trace of blood lightning,  carrying heavenly might, shot out to Xiang Liao’s eyes and blinded him for a moment, distracting his focus from attacking Ning Fan with the nine cauldrons!

When the blinding flash faded and his vision regained its clarity, Ning Fan was already holding a long whip in his hand .

The red lightning whip made Ning Fan look like he was not holding a long whip but …heaven’s lightning bolt! He was like the master of lightning!

Every strike he made was fast, hitting the nine cauldrons directly . Every strike caused lightning bolts to flash in the blue sky!

The nine cauldrons were as heavy as mountains . However, the Lightning Whip was imbued with the red lightning from the Heavenly Tribulation that carried the might of the heavens . Facing such a powerful whip, what could the nine cauldrons do?

The magical treasures were actually forged after the Immortal Treasure, Nine Cauldrons . In Ning Fan’s eyes, however, the treasures were flawed .

With the insight of an Immortal Emperor, while these nine cauldrons are of Supreme Grade, they had some defects . It would not be difficult to break them!

Weak, too weak… Blindly adding unnecessary spiritual minerals into the magical treasures in order to pursue higher grades . The outcome of the fusion is similar to trying to draw a tiger but ending up with the likeness of a dog . It sure is a laughingstock!

“I’ll crush you!”

Continuous strikes of the whip were whipped out, carrying lightning with them!

On the ninth strike, the cauldrons cracked!

Everything seemed to have happened in just a short instant . They could only see nine shadow whips striking the cauldrons . The impact of the strikes warded off the pressure from the nine cauldrons and sent them all flying into the sky in return!

Every strike of the whip were accurately struck on the weak points of cauldrons . Countless cracks formed on the surface of the cauldrons whenever a strike hit . The spirituality of the magical treasures reduced greatly and broke into pieces!

The nine cauldrons were crushed!

Xiang Liao lost his composure when he saw the complete set of High Supreme Grade magical treasures, the Nine Cauldrons, got destroyed so easily by the young man and his whip!

This can’t be happening! His whip is only a Mid Supreme Grade magical treasure, not a Peak Supreme Grade treasure . Why does his whip contain such power!

Before he could figure out an answer, something happened which he could have never imagined!

When the nine cauldrons disintegrated into nothing, nine flashes of blood lightning like those of the Heavenly Tribulation found their way into Xiang Liao’s dantian . Without giving him time to react, each of them bombarded his Nascent Soul . At that very moment, Xiang Liao felt cold fear ran through his bones and the fine hair on his arms stood up!

His Nascent Soul was meticulously protected since he wore spiritual armor to protect his Nascent Souls . However, the defensive armor only managed to block the first flash of lightning and then got pulverized . The remaining eight pounded on his Nascent Soul in succession without rest . The tiny face on the miniature Nascent Soul had the same expression as Xiang Liao – eyes wide in horror!

What are these lightning?! My Peak Profound Jade Spiritual Armor can’t even withstand the first flash of lightning!

“Now I get it! This must be the secret art of attacking the Nascent Soul! It’s the special lightning technique of the Zhou Clan in the Internal Endless Sea! You really are from that clan! Detestable! Truly detestable! My Nascent Soul is already half-step away from becoming a Primordial Spirit…Even if it is struck by the lightning of the Zhou Clan, it is impossible to… . Argh!”

His Nascent Soul was now at its initial stage of becoming illusory, fusing the power of heaven and earth into it . He was at the verge of sacrificing his Nascent Soul into a bodiless Primordial Spirit, fortifying its defenses for more than a hundred times . In this manner, he wouldn’t have to be afraid of the Zhou Clan’s Nascent Soul Realm secret art of lightning pounding on his Nascent Soul!

But what happened next was still beyond his anticipation!

When the second blood red lightning blasted on his Nascent Soul, it inflicted a huge damage on him, making him cough a mouthful of light golden blood belonging to his Nascent Soul . His aura was deteriorating!

Xiang Liao hurriedly retreated, planning to weaken the lightning using the power of heaven and earth . However, before he could hold his feet steadily, the third flash of lightning struck!

Each of the strikes caused him to stagger a few steps backward, aggravating his injuries!

Once the last flash of lightning struck, his face was deathly pale and was coughing out blood incessantly . Doubtlessly, he was in a grievous condition!

He was completely bewildered that this blood red lightning whip was even stronger and ferocious than the secret art of the Zhou Clan!

What kind of lightning is that?! It’s not the lightning casted using magic techniques! Instead, it’s like the lightning that was forcibly taken from the Heavenly Tribulation!

Wait… Heavenly Tribulation?

When the two words surfaced in Xiang Liao’s mind, his eyes glinted in understanding .

*sucks in cold breath*

He now understood!

The reason that Zhou Ming’s Lightning Whip was so powerful was because he refined it using the lightning of the Heavenly Tribulation!

For common cultivators to experience the Heavenly Tribulation, they would either hide themselves from it or resist it face to face . But this Zhou Ming was even more fierce, he faced the Heavenly Tribulation of Lightning and obtained the lightning element to refine his weapon!

He is a true devil cultivator that chose the Path of Defiance! Cultivators like him only exist in ancient times!

Xiang Liao did not even have the slightest arrogance left in him! Now, he saw Ning Fan as the most formidable enemy in his life . He must not fight him!

At the face of Ning Fan, his pride as the old ancestor of the Xiang Clan became insignificant!

Face the Heavenly Tribulation and control its lightning… This person, I must not offend him!

“Let’s attack together!” His voice carried a hint of panic . He intended to order his subordinates to surround Ning Fan, giving him more time to flee . But the sixteen Nascent Soul Realm experts stood straight at their original spots like wooden puppets . None of them obeyed his order!

“Seal!” Ning Fan lifted his finger and performed Body Seal!

A silver light shone on the tip of his finger, forming a light circle which rippled in every direction, separating into innumerable threadlike rays of light . The limbs of the Nascent Soul Realm experts from the Xiang Clan were bound tightly, restricting their movement!

Shockingly, Xiang Liao discovered that his body was tied up by countless fine silver threads which were difficult to be seen with the naked eyes . It was why he could not move a single hair of his body! Even if he mustered all his strength to struggle, it would at least take him a single breath of time to break free from this technique!

The only way to free myself on the spot is no other than… self-sacrifice!

When everyone was sealed, Ning Fan changed his whip into the Separation Slayer Sword . He raised the sword to eye level and drew an illusory circle in the air!

This circle was like the circle of life . Smooth and swiftly, the circle was formed and a powerful sword qi surged on the tip of his sword . At the same time, every sealed expert including Xiang Liao felt excruciating pain in their hearts!

This was the Fourth Sword of his Nascent Soul, Heart Drawing Sword!

As the experts felt pain in their hearts like they were being torn apart, they could also feel a sword drilling its way out of their hearts, piercing their bodies from inside out . It emanated the might of a Peak Nascent Soul Realm sword technique . Eleven Early Nascent Soul Realm experts and four Mid Nascent Soul Realm experts were torn into shreds at the same time, leaving a thick mist of blood in the air . None of them were able to defend themselves against the sword technique . None of them weren’t even able to escape from the technique using their Nascent Soul .

The Late Nascent Soul Realm expert detonated his physical body in order to escape from the fine threads that bound his limbs . Although his Nascent Soul managed to flee away, Ning Fan threw his Separation Slayer Sword at him . It was like a tracking missile, stubbornly following everywhere the Nascent Soul went . However, the Nascent Soul failed to outrun the sword and within seconds, the sword pierced through the miniature body of the expert, rendering him unconscious . With the Nascent Soul in the middle of the sword, it returned to Ning Fan’s hands .

In just a brief moment, fifteen experts were now dead and the sole Late Nascent Soul Realm expert was caught!

Without any further hesitation, Xiang Liao bit the tip of his tongue . He intended to dispel the Body Seal at the expense of using the self-sacrifice technique . Even after taking damage from the Heart Drawing Sword, he was not dead yet…

Humans would die without a heart, but Nascent Souls were different! Besides, even if a Peak Nascent Soul Realm expert had his heart injured, he could still be energetic like a lively dragon and an active tiger .

However, this time, he was not happy at all . Instead, he was instilled with surprise and terror! His silver hair was stained with blood . He looked battered and exhausted like an unkempt dog! His pupils slit in fear like a snake in anxiety!

Dead… They are all dead!

The experts he brought to the Pill Cauldron Gate were all dead within half a breath!

In just a blink of an eye, he has killed 17 Nascent Soul Realm experts of the Xiang Clan and put me in this state! This Zhou Ming really is unfathomable! A Lightning Whip that can crush a cultivator’s Nascent Soul by just striking at their magical treasures! Heart Drawing Sword technique! This man’s technique sure is strange but powerful! Moreover, he shows no mercy whenever he kills! Who else can be his opponent under the Spirit Severing Realm?!

If I don’t flee now, there won’t be another chance!

“Teleport!”

Xiang Liao made up his mind . All of a sudden, he shot out a thin cold, needle-like object towards Ning Fan and blinked away to escape!

He deeply realized that this Zhou Ming was not an expert that he could defeat himself . Furthermore, he was very certain that if he flees away, even Spirit Severing Realm experts might fail to catch him, let alone Zhou Ming!

At that moment, every spectator thought that nothing would be more shocking than what they had just witnessed!

Xiang Liao, whom they had put their hopes on to defeat Zhou Ming suffered serious injuries from him . Out of the 16 Nascent Soul Realm experts of the Xiang Clan, 15 of them were now dead and the last one was held captive!

Zhou Ming! This is the wild and merciless devil, Zhou Ming! He is just as powerful as how he was in the Hill of Death!

Now, the usually arrogant and disdainful Xiang Liao is forced to flee away!

Ning Fan opened his palm and attempted to grasp the incoming object but it went inside his body through it . Soundlessly, it turned into a fine, sharp pin and pierced right at his Nascent Soul!

Ning Fan’s expression changed .

This magical object truly is bizarre!

Aside from that, this magical treasure carried an extremely familiar smell belonging to a female whom he had met before in the past!

The pin was as thin as hair . No magic power was also able to prevent it from puncturing his Nascent Soul . Without further contemplation, Ning Fan activated the Yin Yang Locket . The locket vibrated and glowed brightly, releasing a force that stopped the pin . Yin Yang Locket was undoubtedly the best protection for his Nascent Soul! Nothing could penetrate through the magical treasure that once belonged to an Immortal Emperor!

It was only then could he have a good look on what had gone into his body . It was just an inch-long silver needle… It was a needle used for embroidery…

A very dangerous but useful magical treasure! It may not look much but it’s a High Supreme Grade magical treasure!

If it was not for his Yin Yang Locket, Ning Fan would have been most likely injured if not dead, as his Nascent Soul would have been pierced through, leaving a hole in his miniature body .

The fragrance given out by the needle really did seem familiar to Ning Fan… However, he just could not remember the person who carried the same fragrance .

After Ning Fan was distracted by the needle, Xiang Liao was now nowhere to be seen . With Ning Fan’s current speed, he would not be able to catch up to him… Other than Spirit Severing Realm experts, who else could chase after a Peak Nascent Soul Realm expert who was desperately running away to save his life?

His eyes turned clear as he took out a stone statue from his storage pouch . He tossed it lightly into the air without attracting any unwanted attention from the crowd and gave an order in a cold tone .

“Stone Warrior, bring me his complete corpse!”

“Yes!” Stone Warrior’s reply was so faint that only Ning Fan was able to hear it .

As for the people in the hall, they still had yet to pull themselves together .

Xiang Liao… escaped!

None of them knew that Xiang Liang would still be caught by Stone Warrior after a short while .

After a brief moment of intense life-and-death battle, the auction hall was left with only the sound of breathing .

Zhou Ming! This man sure is ferocious! Even though he wasn’t able to kill Xiang Liao, but he still managed to hurt him and eliminate 16 Nascent Soul Realm experts… Judging from his current power, he could simply overpower the entire External Endless Sea!

The three experts at the Peak Nascent Soul Realm in the third room could not calm themselves down! They clearly knew that they had never once underestimated Ning Fan’s potential . However, from what they had just witnessed from the battle, it was still out of their expectations . The three of them did not have tremendous amount of magic power like Xiang Liao . Their techniques were undeniably weaker than his . If they were to get into a fight like that with Ning Fan, they would be… Having their Nascent Souls being struck by Ning Fan’s Lightning Whip… Having their hearts destroyed by Ning Fan’s Heart Drawing Sword… If they were not mistaken, only the strongest among the three of them could escape through the self-sacrifice technique like Xiang Liao . The other two would certainly die!

They would certainly be overwhelmed with fear if they knew that Ning Fan dispatched Stone Warrior to pursue Xiang Liao . A Spirit Severing Realm spiritual puppet was something that they had never imagined to own! A cultivator who had a spiritual puppet like that was enough to intimidate the top ten sects in the External Endless Sea!

Qing Huazi who drew his sword to fight Ning Fan for the Nascent Soul Realm Dao Fruit had cold sweat dripping off his face . His robe was entirely drenched in sweat .

It’s dangerous! Far too dangerous! If the experts of the Xiang Clan did not come in time to raid the sect, I would have fought Zhou Ming out of impulse . In the end, I would have ended up like those Nascent Soul Realm experts who died a dog’s death . There’s no way I could fight back against such a formidable enemy .

Ling Guiku was inwardly astonished . As Ning Fan said, he was the Revered Ku[1] of the Revered Four in the Sinister Sparrow Sect who went missing for many years!  When Ning Fan revealed his true identity, he suspected that Ning Fan was most likely born in Yue Country and the latter must have some relations with the Sinister Sparrow Sect . It was also the reason why Ning Fan would save him . He thought that he, with his current cultivation realm of the Mid Nascent Soul Realm, is considered as an exceptional personage that could be found once in a million years in Yue Country .

One thing that troubled him was Ning Fan’s bone age . There was no mistake . Ning Fan was three hundred and forty years old . But three hundred years ago when he was still at Yue Country, he had not heard of a heavenly prodigy called “Zhou Ming” . . .

Anyway, it was not something he could surmise after all .

The auction would still be forced to end early because of Ning Fan who was going to buy out every item that was to be auctioned if the Xiang Clan did not come to cause trouble . However, their presence was quite advantageous to Ning Fan . After multiple experts from Xiang Clan were killed in battle, no one dared to be so ignorant to oppose Ning Fan in possessing all the Nascent Soul Realm cauldrons and Dao Fruit himself .

“The auction is over . Any person who have nothing to do with the Pill Cauldron Gate shall leave Mo Nan City immediately! I, Zhou Ming, want to enter into secluded meditation here . Every Nascent Soul Realm expert who stay here will be regarded as allies of the Xiang Clan! None of you will be spared! Black Armor, kill them!”

The next moment, Ning Fan spread his sword sense and swept the entire place! Meanwhile, he released the black refined corpse which wore a black armor!

Countless Gold Core and Harmonious Spirit Realm cultivators of the Xiang Clan who were still guarding outside the city fell in battle when the dark sword sense engulfed them! Those who survived by luck would be peeled and eaten alive by the black corpse!

*sucks in cold breath* This Zhou Ming has sword sense and a Nascent Soul Realm refined corpse too!

He wants us to leave! I think we better leave for good!

No one dared to disregard Ning Fan’s order even though they were at the Nascent Soul Realm too… Although they might have come for nothing as they haven’t gotten anything from the auction, the extreme battle still managed to open their eyes to the absolute power at the Peak Nascent Soul Realm level . Each and every one of the Nascent Soul Realm experts forced a smile on their faces and cupped their fists towards Ning Fan before leaving!

In the Endless Sea, only the strongest experts would be respected!

This could be reflected especially when the three Peak Nascent Soul Realm experts left their room wearing skin-deep smiles and praised Ning Fan with great ceremony with the intention to create positive impressions before they left .

“Fellow Daoist Zhou Ming really has astounding means! I’m Liu Wei, a rogue cultivator in the External Endless Sea . If Fellow Daoist is free in the future, you are welcome to visit the Empty Island . We can enjoy spiritual tea together . ”

“Admirable, admirable! This poor monk is Xuan Jizi . I am a Feudal Ranking Elder of the Heaven Exploration Sect which is one of the top ten sect . If Fellow Daoist happens to visit Heaven Exploration Immortal Island next time, just let me know . I’ll definitely make sure the sect is spick and span when you come!”

“Hehe . Fellow Daoist Zhou has good skills! I am Lim Sushan . I am a member of the Lim Clan in the Internal Endless Sea . If Fellow Daoist comes to the Internal Endless Sea, remember to visit my place…”

Ning Fan just lightly nodded his head to respond to their formalities .

Tens of breaths later, the entire Mo Nan City became empty . Not a single shadow of a foreign cultivator could be found staying in the city, other than the members of the Pill Cauldron Sect and… the innumerable corpses of the Xiang Clan cultivators .

Ling Guiku was full of questions . He wanted to have a conversation with Ning Fan . But Ning Fan did not give him the chance to speak .

“Fellow Daoist Ling, please prepare a safe place for me to stay . I am exhausted . I need a place to take a good rest . ”

“This…Yes!” Ling Guiku had no guts to utter any unnecessary words .

Resting was just a façade . In fact, he intended to remove the needle that was still within his body . Although it was now temporarily controlled by the Yin Yang Locket, it would still bring danger to him if he did not expel it right away…

A Peak Nascent Soul Realm expert should never be underestimated . If he did not have Stone Warrior by his side, he might still be able to defeat Xiang Liao but he could never finish him off .

Besides, he would have been seriously injured or died under the sneak attack of the needle without the protection of the Yin Yang Locket .

Unlucky for Xiang Liao, Ning Fan had the help of Stone Warrior . It would be futile to run away from Ning Fan .

However, Ning Fan did not show the presence of Stone Warrior before anyone’s eyes . It was because he didn’t want to attract attention from the Lost World Palace . If the Lost World Palace figured out that the disappearance of Stone Warrior was related to Ning Fan, he would bring himself another unwanted trouble, though he was not afraid at all .

He was a person who disliked troubles .

Throughout his journey to Mo Nan, despite the setbacks he encountered, the overall outcome was good .

The human cauldrons are now in my hands . The Dao Fruit is in my hands too . After Stone Warrior returns, I will adjust my body’s condition to its peak state . Then, I’ll pluck the newly bought females and break through to the Mid Nascent Soul Realm!

“Mid Nascent Soul Realm! It’s slightly beyond my anticipations to achieve this stage so quickly!”

Ning Fan’s eyes sparkled with hope but at the same time, he had worries deep inside .

My cultivation realm increases too fast . My state of mind is not able to catch up with it… Increasing the level of the state of mind is a troublesome matter after all .

State of mind… It would be good if I have Min Luo Fruits now… Min Luo Fruits… I wonder how the little girl, Bright Sparrow is doing…

…

In the Ying Country, a small little girl hopped on a Fourth Grade Immortal Cloud while hugging a shaggy soft silver ball . A few Nascent Soul Realm rain beasts followed beside her .

When Ning Fan thought of her, she unconsciously sneezed .

“Aiyaya . It must be grandpa scolding me again… Hmmph! But no worries! Grandpa can never leave the Dark Sparrow’s Grave and certainly he would not be able to catch up with me, let alone whack my butt! Since I have so many rain babies to protect me, I don’t think something bad will happen . I want to go to the island that I dreamt of . I want to understand what ‘Si Cang[2]’ is . I wonder if it’s a delicious biscuit… Why would I dream of her every day…”
