Grasping the Evil-Chapter 978: Two Strands of Karma
Every world has a Heavenly Dao, and every Heavenly Dao has its soul.
The Dao-Soul Clan, born with the world and responding to its destiny, controls the cycles of the Heavenly Dao, divided into four realms: Mortal, Immortal, Emperor, and Saint.
The Mortal Realm corresponds to the first step of cultivation; the Immortal Realm corresponds to the cultivation of Fate Immortal and True Immortal; the Emperor Grade twelve levels correspond to the Eternal Nine Calamities and Quasi-Saint Third Grade; the Saint Grade corresponds to the Saint Realm.
According to Daoist Wood Pine’s ancient records, the relationship between the Dao-Soul Clan and the demon race is essentially one of yang and yin.
The Dao-Soul Clan is acknowledged by the Great Dao, is yang, and it is said that the Heavenly Dao of the Three Great Realms is all governed by the various Dao-Soul Clans. In addition, more than half of the Land of Dreams is also controlled by the Dao-Soul Clan.
The demon race, not acknowledged by the Great Dao, is yin. They are not qualified to govern the Heavenly Dao of the Real Realms, only to govern a small portion of the Land of Dreams’ Heavenly Dao...
Ning Fan’s eyes showed a hint of reminiscence. Speaking of which, Li Xiaoxiao, who had quite a grudge with him, was once the Heavenly Dao Soul of the Rain Immortal World...
Li Xiaoxiao governs the Heavenly Dao of the Rain Immortal World. Her true form is a demon and possibly even Fu Li.
The Black Cat governs the Heavenly Dao of the Fan Family Wildlands. The Fan Family Wildlands was originally a piece of land in the Barbaric Wilderness Realm, and its Heavenly Dao belonged to the Real Realms...
The Jiuli Clan is an extremely unique Dao-Soul Clan that can enhance its cultivation by devouring other Dao Souls. Ning Fan has picked up quite a bit of Quasi-Saint Carp Meat, most of which could help the Black Cat improve its cultivation, but could not help the Black Cat enter the Adult Stage...
Ning Fan browsed through the ancient book in his hands, his brow slightly furrowed.
Unlike the demon race, entering the Adult Stage is quite troublesome for the Dao-Soul Clan. First, the cultivation and bone age must meet the requirements for adulthood. Secondly, a specialized Soul Awakening Ritual must be held. An immature Jiuli cannot transform, and its soul blood does not have the ability to delay Dao annihilation. To save the Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor, first, the Black Cat must enter the Adult Stage!
The Black Cat’s bone age and cultivation have long been qualified for adulthood; only a Soul Awakening Ritual is needed to reach adulthood. But this is also the most troublesome part...
The process of the Soul Awakening Ritual is not problematic as it is detailed in the ancient books. The troublesome part is that during the ritual, at least one innate rank clan Dao-Soul Ritual Vessel must be used; without the vessel, the ritual cannot be completed.
The Ritual Vessel is an extremely special type of magical treasure, mostly used for holding rituals, varying among different clans. When Ning Fan was young, he obtained many Offering Vessels of Ancient Demons, but most were low-grade vessels.
High-grade ritual vessels are mostly preserved within each clan’s temple as treasured items passed down through generations, and it’s rare for high-grade ritual vessels to circulate outside.
Ning Fan felt a bit troubled. Where can he find a Jiuli clan Dao-Soul Ritual Vessel, and it must be of the innate rank...
Innate magical treasures between heaven and earth are already scarce, and among them, innate ritual vessels are even fewer. The Jiuli Clan is a force of the Real Realms, not in the Dreamland Realm. The chance of finding a Jiuli innate ritual vessel in the Dreamland Realm is extremely slim...
Ning Fan’s eyes showed bitterness.
It’s so hard to see a glimmer of hope to save the Ancient Chaos, only for this hope to be so slim, nearly nonexistent...
"Master... I know... where the vessel is..." Suddenly, the voice of Little Kitten came from within his Heart Spirit, having just awakened from a coma.
"You know? Where’s the vessel!" Ning Fan slightly stirred.
"Can’t accurately sense... but can faintly feel... somewhere hidden in this starry sky... is the Jiuli Ritual Vessel..."
Ning Fan pondered, his expression mixed with joy and worry.
Joyful that there was a Jiuli innate ritual vessel within Eastern Heaven; worried that the Black Cat could only vaguely sense its existence and couldn’t detect where it was specifically.
"Can you determine approximately where in Eastern Heaven your sensed Jiuli Ritual Vessel might be?" Ning Fan asked.
"I’m sorry... Black Evil spirit sense is insufficient... cannot perceive the entire Eastern Starry Sky..." The Black Cat felt deeply remorseful.
"So, if your spirit sense could cover Eastern Heaven, you might be able to perceive where the vessel is located..."
Ning Fan’s eyes flashed with resolution, he put down the ancient book, quickly left the Sutra Pavilion, returned to the meditation room, sat cross-legged on a mat, and flipped his hand to summon the Black Cat.
By this time, the Black Cat had eaten all the Quasi-Saint Carp Meat after awakening, and her wilting aura had returned to normal, her cultivation had notably improved.
There was also quite a lot of Quasi-Saint Blood and Meat energy stored within her body, slowly being refined, causing her cultivation to steadily and stably increase.
Ning Fan summoned the Black Cat and immediately merged with her, his cultivation surged to the level of the Second Calamity of the Eternals. Then, he performed the Heaven Prying Rain Technique.
In an instant, light rain descended on Mu Island, spreading outward from the center of Mu Island to the entire Eastern Heaven, and soon, all of Eastern Heaven was enveloped in Ning Fan’s spirit sense!
As for Ning Fan himself, his aura was calm and balanced, seemingly just meditating, without any fluctuations in his aura.
"This is..." Both Daoist Wood Pine and Xiang Mingzi were slightly startled at this moment.
This rain...
They could perceive this rain seemed man-made, yet they couldn’t perceive that Ning Fan’s spirit sense was hidden within the rain.
No traces to be found!
Ning Fan had once entered the Golden Sky Black Earth Painting, virtually inflated his cultivation, and experienced what higher-level rain techniques were like. With this experience, his current rain techniques were becoming more natural, clearly performing the technique on Mu Island, clearly not far from Daoist Wood Pine and Xiang Mingzi, yet neither could detect the source of the rain technique!
Even these two Quasi-Saints couldn’t perceive this, others definitely couldn’t either and would likely assume this sudden rain was just a common rain brought by some powerful Master. Even so, it was enough to leave people astonished.
The rain covering Eastern Heaven, what a great gesture! To change the entire weather of Eastern Heaven, one must at least have Quasi-Saint cultivation!
"I don’t know which old expert is responsible for this rain..." Daoist Wood Pine slightly pondered.
A few days ago, there was also a rain covering the entire Eastern Heaven... it should be the same person.
Today’s rain seems more natural than the rain four days ago. It appears the old monster’s Divine Skills have improved...
Back then, when Ning Fan roared amid the rain, only a few sects heard the roar. Daoist Wood Pine didn’t hear it, so he naturally didn’t know this rain was caused by Ning Fan.
Xiang Mingzi also didn’t know, yet he seemed thoughtful as he swept his spirit sense in the direction of Ning Fan...
Ning Fan appeared to be meditating, with no fluctuation in aura around him. Could this rain be caused by this little guy...
Hmm, it must indeed be this little guy. The last rain, and this time as well... could this technique be the Heaven Prying Rain Technique of the Rain Ancestor? Looking across the Four Heavens, no one could master this technique, yet this child managed to learn it. Such aptitude truly befits the title of Rain Immortal Monarch.
Having never underestimated Ning Fan, Xiang Mingzi once again held a higher regard for him.
"Rain in the Nine Heavens, encompassing one realm, clouds are my eyes, rain is my spirit... That day in the downpour, without using the black cat’s power, I could initially cover the entire Eastern Heaven with my spirit sense. Now, naturally, it can be done even more easily. Encompassing one realm, encompassing one realm..."
Ning Fan’s spirit sense seemed to merge with the entire starry sky of Eastern Heaven. At this moment, he was one with the black cat, and the scene he saw, the black cat could also see.
The black cat couldn’t search for the ritual vessel’s whereabouts throughout the Eastern Heaven, but Ning Fan could help her do it!
Not here either, not here...
Godly Void Pavilion, Slaughter Hall, Extreme Thunder Palace, Qianqiu Sect, Medicine Sect... The black cat’s spirit sense blended with Ning Fan’s, merged into the rain, sweeping over one starry sky after another, yet could not find the location of the ritual vessel.
Pill Sect, Danxia Star.
In the grand hall, the Sect Master of the Pill Sect was receiving guests. In recent days, many Old Monsters of Eastern Heaven accepted his invitation to come to the Pill Sect, intending to join the Anti-Ning Alliance. However, many other old monsters were still observing or on their way to the Pill Sect.
After some pleasantries, the Sect Master called on disciples to escort these guests who had traveled from afar to rest.
"In another twenty days, the conference will convene. Once the alliance is formed, I will no longer need to fear that Ning Fan brat. Hmm... The four Immortal Venerable I invited, Ancestor Sun of the Sun Family has already arrived, and the one from the Wang Clan is on his way. Ancestor Han considers the reward too low; if I add some incentive, I might be able to invite him. Only Ancestor Wu... why, to this day, hasn’t he given me a definitive answer? Never mind, even if he doesn’t come, I have three Immortal Venerables on my side, especially Ancestor Han, who is said to have broken through to the realm of the Second Calamity of the Eternals..."
Thinking about the formidable lineup of the alliance, the Sect Master of the Pill Sect felt relieved. Who would have thought that within a mere hundred years, that Ning Fan brat could reach this stage, possessing the terrifying cultivation to slay Deyun Ancestor?
Alas, he is still just a grasshopper after autumn, won’t be jumping for much longer!
As the Sect Master of the Pill Sect was sneering, he suddenly shivered inexplicably, realizing that outside the hall, it had started to rain heavily.
"This rain... stretches across the starry sky, with no end in sight! Truly don’t know which senior displayed such divine skills, it’s truly incredible!"
The Sect Master marveled and continued to set up alliance matters, unaware that everything he did was within Ning Fan’s awareness.
"Pill Sect..."
A cold light flickered in Ning Fan’s eyes. Twenty days later, at the Pill Sect’s alliance meeting, he would definitely not miss it.
He would certainly capture all attending enemies in one swoop!
In the Eastern Heaven Southern Cang Snow Domain, where heavy snow fell year-round in the starry sky, on this day, the snow suddenly turned to rain.
At this moment, in the snow domain, a giant snow gate suddenly appeared out of thin air. As it opened, an unruly elder with a bare upper body, wearing a beast-skin skirt, stepped out, his muscles bulging with explosive power.
Following behind the elder was a woman in a feathered cloak holding an umbrella.
"Strange, why did my Southern Clan’s snow formation suddenly bring rain, is it some old monster altering the weather? Moreover, why do these raindrops carry a breath that makes my heart tremble..."
This elder exuded an imposing aura without anger, carrying the presence of a First Order Quasi-Saint!
Few knew that this elder was Ancestor Tashi of the Barbarian Sect, one of the Four Divisions - Witch, Plague, Gu, and Barbarian - of the Southern Clan.
"Ancestor must be joking. With your noble cultivation, only facing an Ancient Great Cultivator could possibly cause a heart-stirring feeling. This rain has no lethal force, why should it make heart tremble?"
"...Can’t say for sure, maybe this rain is concocted by the Old Undying of the Dark Clan? Ancient Great Cultivators, hmph, nowadays, it’s not impossible..." The elder replied with a frown.
"The Old Undying of the Dark Clan?" The umbrella-holding woman was puzzled.
"You are the Holy Maiden of my clan, having broken through to the Timeless Realm, it’s time you learned some secrets... but then again, it’s not something easily summed up. Wait until that old thing, Nan Tianhua, comes out of seclusion, then he’ll personally explain to you. I wonder if that boy from Zhao Family can successfully ’invite’ that Rain Immortal Monarch here, hmm... trusting Lv Wen’s words is questionable... How can the Rain Immortal Monarch be the same person as the Ancient Great Cultivator who swept across the Barbarians... if he’s not..."
The elder gave a defiant cold snort, transmitting his words, causing the umbrella-holding woman to frown slightly.
Rain Immortal Monarch, Ning Fan...
Ancient Great Cultivator, Zhao Jian...
They are probably not the same person; if the Rain Monarch did have the cultivation of an Ancient Great Cultivator, he wouldn’t be so afraid of the Dark Clan...
Forget it, better handle this matter cautiously...
"This Southern Cang Snow Domain actually hides a passage to the Southern Clan..."
"And what those two just discussed..."
Ning Fan’s eyes narrowed slightly, from the Quasi-Saint elder’s words it seemed, the Dark Clan also had an Old Undying rivaling Ancient Great Cultivators...
As for the later transmitted voice, it was inaudible...
The rain continued to pour steadily. Within the Three Thousand Thunder Realm, in a certain Sixth Level Thunder Region, an elder in a blue robe looked up at the drizzle, fiddling with a compass in his right hand. The compass depicted three eyes, each of his movements seemed to deduce something.
"...94, commerce exchange unsettled, illness brings joy... Looks like that Rain Monarch won’t be easily swayed. Ah, for that girl’s sake, perhaps a humble approach with the Rain Monarch might be necessary. Whether he is Zhao Jian or not, this is unknown; fortune and misfortune are hard to distinguish, even if he’s not... sigh... everything was within my calculations, except this child, whom I miscalculated... Never expected in this world, there was someone even I, Chongming Phoenix Emperor, couldn’t fully discern..."
The elder in the blue robe didn’t perceive anything peculiar about the rain, nor did Ning Fan care much for him. Ning Fan’s spirit sense merely brushed over him and moved on.
"Not within Extreme Thunder Palace either..." Ning Fan wondered inwardly, deliberately dispersing his spirit sense towards major forces, considering that if the Jiuli Ritual Vessel existed, it would most likely be in the hands of a major force.
"No, not here either... there is nothing there... not here either..."
The black cat’s breath grew slightly hurried. Taking advantage of Ning Fan’s divine skills, her spirit sense surveyed the entire Eastern Heaven, yet found the burden of such scrutiny hard to bear.
Ning Fan remained as calm as usual, already accustomed to the massive consumption of the rain technique. Now, he had further cultivated the Wood Yin Yang technique, which carried the advantage of endless vitality. Even if he didn’t actively replenish his mana, the mana consumed within his body would recover at an astonishing speed on its own.
If he were to duel with an Immortal Venerable of the same level, there would likely be few who could match him in terms of mana endurance.
"Found it!" the black cat suddenly exclaimed joyfully.
Following the direction of the black cat’s spirit sense, Ning Fan emitted his own spirit sense, and his gaze immediately focused.
Supreme Pill Sacred Domain!
The direction pointed out by the black cat’s offering vessel was actually directly facing the entrance of the Supreme Pill Sacred Domain!
"Could it be... the Nine-Li sacrificial device that Little Kitten sensed is actually inside the Supreme Pill Sacred Domain?"
Ning Fan furrowed his brows.
In that case, everything would return to the starting point. This Supreme Pill Sacred Domain was still a place he could not avoid going to...
Whether it was for the possibly existent Heaven-opening Spiritual Medicine, or... for the Nine-Li sacrificial device!
"It’s raining again..."
In the Yuan Dan Starfield, within the Supreme Pill Divine City.
The Yuan Dan Emperor was originally in seclusion, but upon noticing the rain covering the starry sky outside, he couldn’t help but frown.
He was a pill demon, possessing the power of the medicine soul, and his perception was much sharper than ordinary people. He always felt that someone might be peering into the Supreme Pill Divine City through the rain; was it just an illusion...
"That Rain Monarch, as the inheritor of the Ancient Chaos, most likely carries the Yin Yang Locket! The Yin Yang Locket, heh heh, inside this locket, there should be the key to the domain passage, leading directly to the Sky Desolate Ancient Realm, and onward to the Real Realms. The ancient records state that this key cannot be obtained by anyone other than a Saint. This stone door is essentially a wasted door, drawing no real attention from the human or demon races. But I do not believe it; in my hand, I have a treasure. According to the ancient texts, it should be able to ignore the rules and extract the key from the Yin Yang Locket..."
The Yuan Dan Emperor flipped his hand, producing an ancient fossil, which seemed like amber, yet didn’t.
Within the translucent fossil, a butterfly wing was sealed, appearing to be a left wing, with a clean cut, as if severed by some sharp blade. On the surface, this butterfly wing seemed ordinary, like that of a mundane butterfly, but the unique aspect was the chilling Sword Intent emanating from the edge of the wing!
What a terrifying Sword Intent! Even with the Yuan Dan Emperor’s Immortal Emperor cultivation, facing this Sword Intent left him feeling cold to his bones. It was imaginable how formidable the person who left behind this Sword Intent must be; after countless years, just a trace of residual Sword Intent was enough to make an Immortal Emperor tremble with fear.
Another flip of his hand, and he stored away the fossil. No one knew about this. Not even Ning Fan, who had no idea that the Yuan Dan Emperor, during his seclusion, had looked at such things.
Why, after all, should he hide in the stone seclusion cave?
After thoroughly confirming the location of the Nine-Li sacrificial device, Ning Fan had to seriously craft his current plan.
Supreme Pill Sacred Domain, Ning Fan had no choice but to go. It was time to inform the Qianqiu Sect to gather more intel on the Supreme Pill Sacred Domain.
Hmm, the Six Desires Sect should be informed as well, to investigate together...
Although Ning Fan had clearly stopped the rain technique, as soon as his mind moved, inexplicably, a fine rain began to fall simultaneously outside the sects of the Six Desires Sect and the Qianqiu Sect. Within the fine rain, Ning Fan’s voice was directly transmitted to the subordinates of both sects!
He could actually transmit his voice across the entire Heavenly range, ignoring distance, the whole realm could hear his voice!
And only within the two sects’ range, did it rain! Ning Fan’s rain technique had reached such a refined degree, able to communicate across a whole realm through a thought!
"It’s... the Sect Master’s transmission! From how far is the Sect Master transmitting this voice!" Several of the Enlightenment-stage subordinates of the Six Desires Sect were all startled by Ning Fan’s methods. A hundred years ago, they pledged loyalty to Ning Fan; a hundred years later, Ning Fan returned to the East Heaven with an overwhelmingly powerful presence, and instructed them to gather intel on the Supreme Pill Sacred Domain. How could they dare not follow!
Compared to the Six Desires Sect, the subordinates of the Qianqiu Sect were much calmer, after all, they had already witnessed Ning Fan’s might firsthand.
Ning Fan came to Mu Island with only two purposes: to repair the God-Extinguishing Shield and to seek Daoist Wood Pine as an ally. Now, both purposes had been achieved; once he dealt with the last few spoils of battle, he planned to leave Mu Island.
After a round of inquiries, Ning Fan found out that those three five-colored light clusters were the clan fortune that the black cat had seized from the Dao Carp Clan.
Clan fortune was something Ning Fan didn’t know much about; it couldn’t be used to increase personal fortune, only to increase the fortune of a sect or clan.
When Ning Fan returned to the Qianqiu Sect and used this item, it could increase the sect’s fortune by fifteen hundred colors in a short time!
Of course, this clan fortune could also be applied to other powers.
Ning Fan hadn’t yet experienced the benefits of clan fortune, and didn’t pay much attention to it. What caught his focus were those five Quasi-Saint Carp Eyes.
Open the eyes... open the eyes...
Daoist Wood Pine had been deferential before but became critical afterward, seemingly because he couldn’t open his eyes, leaving Wood Pine disappointed.
From the tone of Wood Pine, his words hinted that Ning Fan wasn’t as good as Senluo...
Having cultivated for many years, Ning Fan’s heart was as steadfast as stone. He didn’t care whether his talent was higher or lower than Senluo, nor did he care about Wood Pine’s opinion.
Talent doesn’t determine everything... Moreover, Ning Fan vaguely felt that the reason he couldn’t open his eyes wasn’t solely due to insufficient talent; rather, it was more about being suppressed by external forces.
"I clearly am at the Second Realm of Tianren, yet I cannot open my eyes in the Pictorial Realm like Wood Pine and Senluo. After entering the Pictorial Realm, I fell into sixty cycles of dreams within it. If I hadn’t perceived the cause and effect, I might have been trapped in the infinite dream cycles of the Pictorial Realm..."
"Cause and effect are why I walked out of the Pictorial Realm, yet they are also what I doubted. Before entering the Pictorial Realm, the Yin Yang Locket within my body clearly had a tremor, sensing something within it. But after I entered, that sensing never appeared again, as if a force forcibly cut off the connection between that mysterious object and the Yin Yang Locket... Since that perception occurred, naturally there was cause and effect; between that mysterious object and the Yin Yang Locket, there was a cause and effect. But after I entered the Pictorial Realm, I only found the sixty causes and effects between me and Li Si, and didn’t find the cause and effect between the Yin Yang Locket and that mysterious object... At the moment I stepped into the Pictorial Realm, the cause and effect tinged by the Yin Yang Locket was severed... Whether this was done by someone, or for other reasons... Perhaps the trigger was the Yin Yang Locket itself, or perhaps, it wasn’t..."
Ning Fan recalled the sound of that water droplet, recalled the mysterious female voice, and felt a large stone pressing on his heart, making it difficult to breathe.
What was the origin of the owner of that voice...
Everything within the Pictorial Realm was a dream; was that voice his own dream, or the dream of the Carp Generals...
If only he could open his eyes upon entering the Pictorial Realm, could he then find out where that voice came from.
Open the eyes, open the eyes... Perhaps by opening the eyes, he could clarify the doubts in his heart...
Ning Fan entered the Xuan Yin Treasure and in the cave house of the Western Xuanyin Realm, he took out the first eyeball.
What he gave to Mu Song was Li Si’s left eye; this one is Li Si’s right eye.
With both hands flat, he merged the carp eyes in his palms; he could feel a tremendous power of pure Yang within this carp eye, which must be what Daoist Wood Pine coveted.
"According to Wood Pine’s words, there are four methods to extract the eye, seven methods to nurture it, and twelve methods to swallow the eye... Cutting the carp to extract the eye is a lower approach; it will damage the vision within the carp eye. To restore all seven visions, one must carefully nurture the carp eye before devouring it."
Ning Fan’s palm emitted a brilliant azure spike, using an endless flow of wood mana to repair the carp eye in his palm.
After an indeterminate period, Ning Fan suddenly flipped his hand and tossed the carp eye high, changing his fingers’ gestures and casting countless spirit sense at the carp eye.
The ordinary-looking carp eye suddenly sprouted like a seed, blossomed, and within just over ten breaths, completely unfolded into a white lotus.
"According to Senior Wood Pine, this lotus is transformed from the pure Yang vision within the carp eye. Once it becomes a lotus, it can only survive for twelve breaths. If unable to swallow the entire lotus within twelve breaths, the lotus withers and the carp eye is destroyed..."
Ning Fan’s gaze was exceedingly serious as he pushed the power of the Yin Yang Locket within his Dantian to the extreme, summoned the Liangyi Square Seal for protection, and then opened his mouth to swallow the white lotus.
Instantly, the white lotus turned into a blazing white light, which Ning Fan directly devoured into his abdomen. In a moment, a scorching pain, as if he had swallowed a branding iron, emerged intensely from his belly.
This is the pure Yang vision within the carp eye. Only the people of the Yang World can safely absorb it. The people of the Netherworld, if absorbing it forcefully, face great danger; even with Yin Yang Locket and Liangyi Square Seal as protective Yin Yang magic treasures, Ning Fan still found the pain unbearable. Yet he disregarded the pain and insanely absorbed the extreme Yang.
Ignoring the burns inside his body, Ning Fan was reckless, only seeking to consume the white lotus within twelve breaths, willing to pay a bit of the price!
One breath, two breaths, three breaths... nine breaths!
If Mu Song discovered Ning Fan took only nine breaths to consume the first white lotus, he would surely be astonished. You must understand that even Mu Song, when he first devoured the Yang Eye White Lotus, took eleven breaths and was directly burned through his organs by the extreme Yang within the lotus!
Of course, that was because Mu Song lacked a body-protecting magical treasure. When he devoured the Yang Eye White Lotus the second time, he crafted the Liangyi Square Seal to restrain the seed’s extreme Yang.
Ning Fan, however, was different. He not only received Mu Song’s Liangyi Square Seal but also possessed the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Treasure Yin Yang Locket and inherently had a fierce nature. The time he took was less than Mu Song’s.
Once the extreme Yang was swallowed, the scenery in front of him, as though washed by water, revealed a different scene.
The scenery of the Xuan Yin Treasure vanished from Ning Fan’s view!
He was clearly still sitting within the Xuan Yin Treasure; to Black Cat, Ning Fan was indeed still sitting there, but the scene Ning Fan saw was one that Black Cat couldn’t perceive.
As if in another space-time!
"This is the scene Wood Pine spoke of, it’s a pity this isn’t my scene but one that Li Si saw in the past..."
The scene that Ning Fan saw was a boundless desert, within which a man dressed in Western Region attire lay faintly breathless upon the sand, gradually nearing death under the roasting sun.
"Thirsty, so thirsty..."
"If there’s a next life... I want to be a fish, spend my life in water, then I won’t die of thirst..."
With Ning Fan’s eyesight, he instantly saw that two lines of causality appeared on the man’s body, linking him to something unknown...
"Two causalities..." For a moment, Ning Fan’s gaze became bewildered.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths...
After three breaths, this scene disappeared like water washing away, and the scenery of the Xuan Yin Treasure reappeared before Ning Fan’s eyes.
Was this the scene in Li Si’s eyes...
What does this scene mean...
It’s a pity that Li Si’s left eye was given to Mu Song. I wonder if the scene in the left and right eyes is different...
Drip-drip, drip-drip, drip-drip...
After using one carp eye, Ning Fan suddenly noticed the dripping sound echoed again beside his ears.
Soon after, came the call of a woman’s voice.
"Little Butterfly, stop sleeping, wake up quickly."
"Little Butterfly, stop sleeping, stop sleeping."
"If you sleep longer, you’ll miss the once-in-a-decade Chao Yue of Primeval Mountain..."
Chao Yue, what is that...
With a slight contemplation, Ning Fan, upon consuming one carp eye, not only saw Li Si’s scene but also heard an additional phrase. What mystery lies within...
The woman’s voice drew nearer, almost as if she was about to appear before Ning Fan.
Ning Fan’s gaze solidified as he speculated that this calling woman might be the scene he sees upon opening his eyes...
It seemed he was one step closer to opening his eyes. What if he continued devouring the carp eyes...
This thought had barely emerged when, for the first time, Ning Fan heard the sound of chains, clinking and clanging from an unknown origin.
Once the sound of chains resonated, the imminent feeling of opening his eyes immediately vanished completely!
The sound of chains clearly intended to prevent him from opening his eyes! (To be continued.
