Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 108: A Delicate Heart, Strong Figures Gather from All Directions!

Chapter 108: Chapter 108: A Delicate Heart, Strong Figures Gather from All Directions!

Ning Xuan had not forgotten his mission. After eradicating Wu Ming and his two companions, he set off again. This time, no one stood in his way.

「Half an hour later.」

Looking at his Senior Sister leaning against a rock, nodding off like a drowsy chick and still drooling, Ning Xuan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Only she could be so blithely carefree, he guessed. No, that’s not right! There was also Little White, who had caught the bug from her!

Ning Xuan stepped forward and shook Wawa awake.

Wawa opened her bleary eyes, naturally wiped away the drool, and made room to the side. "Junior Brother," she said naturally, "come sleep with us."

THUMP!

Little White was bumped off the rock by Wawa. It rolled several times, its dog-like eyes wide open in utter confusion.

"Senior Sister, where are their Storage Rings?" Ning Xuan asked Wawa.

Wawa asked with a dazed, cute expression, "What Storage Ring?"

"It’s a ring like this one," Ning Xuan explained, showing her his own. "It has space inside to store things. They were King Realm Martial Artists, so they definitely all had Storage Rings."

Ning Xuan was already losing hope. Wawa took the ring he showed her and examined it from all angles, looking puzzled. "Oh! I didn’t see any of those!"

Little White stood up on its hind legs and began to gesture with its paws. First, it made a fist. Then, its paws came together before it spread them as far apart as possible. It was probably trying to make a gesture of a large embrace, but it underestimated the length of its paws, lost its balance, and toppled backward.

Ning Xuan, however, understood. Little White meant that his Senior Sister had blasted those guys with a single punch, and their Storage Rings had shattered to pieces along with them.

What more could I say? Despite her delicate appearance, my Senior Sister’s combat power is absolutely terrifying! Even King Realm cultivators couldn’t withstand a single punch from her! It looks like I need to speed up my cultivation and get stronger, or who knows who will be protecting whom! Ning Xuan felt a wave of pressure.

"Here."

Just then, Wawa handed the Storage Ring back to Ning Xuan, her stunning face full of hope, as if to say, Praise me! Praise me!

Ning Xuan probed it with his Divine Sense and found that the Storage Ring’s space had expanded more than tenfold.

The corners of his mouth twitched. "Senior Sister, you’re really amazing!"

The compliment was sincere, but so was the helplessness that came from the bottom of his heart. He was after Element Crystals, damn it!

Thinking of Element Crystals, and then of his Senior Sister’s capabilities, an idea struck Ning Xuan, and he immediately put it into action.

Ning Xuan took out an Element Crystal and asked hopefully, "Senior Sister, can you find more of these?"

Wawa looked at it with curiosity. "What is this?" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"This is an Element Crystal. It contains energy that can help me cultivate," Ning Xuan explained. "It’s excavated from Element Veins. Element Veins are classified into Twelve Grades; the higher the grade, the more powerful the energy!

"This one is merely from a Fifth Grade Element Vein. Above the Ninth Grade are the Heavenly Grade, Divine Grade, and Holy Grade! The energy from a Heavenly Grade Element Vein is something like this..."

Ning Xuan was just about to simulate the energy of a Heavenly Grade Element Vein.

Wawa moved her fair hand from the rock and patted the dust off it. "There’s an Element Vein like you described not far from here," she said.

"What?"

Wawa stood up and pointed. "It’s over there."

"Let’s go!" Ning Xuan pulled her up and began to run.

"WOOF... GACK..." BANG!

Little White had just opened its mouth when it got a mouthful of dust. It instinctively closed its eyes, losing its sense of direction and slamming squarely into a large rock, which cracked from the impact. Tumbling through the fractured stone and wobbling a few times like a drunkard, Little White finally got its bearings and hurried after them.

Several miles away, before a mountain face, Ning Xuan activated the Chaos Ancestral Dragon Scripture and looked at Wawa with a questioning gaze. If there really was an Element Vein here, at such a close distance, it would be impossible for him not to be able to sense and absorb its energy.

Wawa was equally puzzled, but she soon exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, these stones can form invisible lines! And they have the ability to block energy!"

Ning Xuan tentatively asked, "A Formation?"

"Formation... what a fitting name! Junior Brother, you’re so smart!" Wawa looked at Ning Xuan with an expression of pure admiration.

Ning Xuan immediately asked, "Can you break it?"

Wawa didn’t say a word. She blinked her bright eyes, then suddenly stretched out a slender, jade-like finger and pointed at the empty air in front of them.

Immediately, Ning Xuan saw the entrance to a cave appear. A dense wave of energy washed over him.

Ning Xuan was utterly speechless.

My Senior Sister Wawa doesn’t even know what a Formation is, yet she casually broke it! Is the Nine-Orifice Exquisite Heart really that terrifying?!

Ning Xuan took a deep breath, thanked his beautiful and kind-hearted Senior Sister, and ducked inside.

If word of the Nine-Orifice Exquisite Heart’s miraculous abilities got out, it would probably tempt even the top experts. My current Cultivation Realm is still too weak! I have to get stronger, and quickly. Otherwise, how can I possibly protect my Senior Sister?!

Outside, an excited Little White tried to rush in. But just as it leaped, Wawa snatched it by the tail. She then swung it back and forth like a large white rat.

"Junior Brother needs this stuff. If you dare touch any of it, I’ll roast you, you hear?"

Terrified, Little White immediately clamped its small paws over its mouth and nose.

Ning Xuan ventured deep into the Element Vein and soon confirmed it was an Eighth Grade Element Vein. The Formation outside must have been deliberately set up by some powerful expert to keep it hidden. For whatever reason, that person never returned. Perhaps they encountered a powerful enemy and perished, or maybe something else happened... Who cares! Ning Xuan felt no guilt whatsoever. He immediately sat down cross-legged and began to devour the energy.

Now that he had stepped into the Human Realm, Ning Xuan activated the Chaos Ancestral Dragon Scripture and used his Gluttonous Divine Vein. His absorption ability was countless times more terrifying than before. He had delved over a thousand feet deep into the mine, but as he activated his cultivation technique, not only did the energy leaking from the cave entrance reverse its flow and surge inward, but a fierce gale also began to rage. The crowns of the giant trees, regardless of which way they faced, all bent toward the cave entrance. The CRACKING of wood was endless. Directly in front of the cave, even giant trees as thick as water buckets began to tilt over, their roots being torn from the ground.

The devouring force was terrifyingly absolute.

The consequence of this was that powerful experts in the vicinity noticed the anomaly and began converging on the location from all directions. Soon, figures appeared in the distance from several directions. Their gazes shifted between Wawa and the cave entrance.

"Little doll, who is inside? Is it that Ning Xuan?!" an elder called out from a distance.

Wawa looked surprised. "How do you know my name?"

The elder was taken aback and didn’t know how to respond.

"You’re surrounded," another elder spoke from a different direction, his voice thick with killing intent. "We don’t wish to be harsh with a lady. Why don’t you save us the trouble and dig out your Nine-Orifice Exquisite Heart yourself?"

As he spoke, a towering mountain materialized in the void, radiating a boundless and majestic crushing force.

"I don’t want to fight you all," Wawa said, looking up at the mountain and speaking to the elder in a placating, negotiating tone. "How about you just wait? When my Junior Brother comes out, you can let him fight you. Okay?"

Beside her, Little White nodded vigorously, then repeated the gesture it had made for Ning Xuan earlier. This time, it managed not to topple backward initially, but when it covered its face with its front paws at the end, it still couldn’t keep its balance.

Someone wondered, "What does that mean?"

"It’s saying that I’m too ferocious," Wawa explained. "If I make a move, you’ll all die very ugly deaths."

"Impudent beast! You know nothing of our power!" an elder snorted coldly, thrusting out a hand to grab Wawa.
