Chapter 650: First-Class Mortal Fortune
The Old Yuan Emperor shook himself, transforming into the appearance of Cheng Huang, cursing all the way as he walked out of the Earth Yuan Palace, flying away from Tianyuan City. No one knew where he went.
Many in Tianyuan City who knew the identity of ’Cheng Huang’ witnessed ’Cheng Huang’ escaping from Tianyuan City.
The Old Yuan Emperor was transferring the murder scene of Cheng Huang!
Ning Fan said nothing and sat across from Tan Zixin in the Yangxin Hall, waiting for the Old Yuan Emperor’s return.
"Now, do you still think I’m a good person?" Ning Fan asked Tan Zixin with a smile.
"I don’t know..." Tan Zixin shook her head, still feeling shocked by the previous scene.
A Void Fragmentation cultivator from the Four Heavens died before her eyes; it was impossible for her not to be shocked.
But initially, she was too concerned about Ning Fan’s safety and forgot to be shocked.
Ning Fan was an evil sect, and if he harbored killing intent, he wouldn’t hold back at all, with no hesitation.
As for her, could she be considered Ning Fan’s accomplice now...
She didn’t know...
But in the future, when Ning Fan wields the Taigong Fishing Rod and the Ten Steps Kill One Dragon, she would definitely be the accomplice, as it was she who refined that magical treasure.
"That... the Taigong Fishing Rod is for you to fish for dragons... do you understand?" Tan Zixin said very seriously.
"Hmm, I understand. The Taigong Fishing Rod can fish for dragons, it can also slay dragons, and it can deal with the yellow dragon that bullies people too much. I’m really looking forward to a great battle to test the divine skills and power of the Taigong Fishing Rod." Ning Fan said seriously as well.
"That’s not what I mean... sigh, you just don’t understand." Tan Zixin felt a little depressed.
She really wanted to lament to the Taigong Fishing Rod: You were a graceful beauty, but why did you follow the villain?
The Taigong Fishing Rod was supposed to be a rod for fishing dragons, but in Ning Fan’s hands, it would one day become a treasure for slaying dragons...
"Haha, sorry to keep you waiting, this old man has returned."
After a long time, in the Yangxin Hall, the escape light of the Old Yuan Emperor flashed as he returned to the hall.
Today, the Old Yuan Emperor wasn’t dressed as a fisherman, but only wore a worn-out gray robe, looking very simple.
As he stepped into the Yangxin Hall, every step he took caused Ning Fan’s spirit to tremble slightly.
That trembling originated from the Lifedeath Dao Pattern above the spirit.
The Old Yuan Emperor had nearly comprehended life and death years ago, and every step he took carried life and death together.
The reason he was stronger than Ning Fan’s rogue devil was due to his comprehension of the Dao of Life and Death... which the rogue devil’s comprehension was currently almost nonexistent.
This mystery, Ning Fan could see, but those who had not united their spirit with the Dao absolutely couldn’t see it, and Tan Zixin naturally couldn’t see or feel the terrifying presence of life and death from the Old Yuan Emperor at this moment.
"Senior Tan truly deserves to be someone half a step into the path of the immortal, setting life and death with a single step, truly remarkable." Ning Fan praised as he stood up.
"This old man is only older than you by so many years, with a deeper comprehension of the Dao of Life and Death than you, it’s only natural. With your talent, it is only a matter of time before you surpass this old man after a thousand or ten thousand years. Among the outstanding talents of this generation, you are the most outstanding I have ever seen, especially your mindset, which greatly resonates with this old man. That Cheng Huang was killed well, killed delightfully! If this old man had as few ties in the Demon World as you do, I would have long grasped and killed that Cheng Huang with my own hands! What does the Dragon Child of the Huanglong Clan count for! If this old man hadn’t been injured, already an Immortal, even the Clan Leader of the Huanglong Clan would have to fear me threefold!"
The Old Yuan Emperor’s eyes gleamed with a sharp light, and he suddenly became high-spirited.
But when he thought of his own injuries, with little hope of reaching immortality, he sighed and shook his head, looking somewhat desolate.
"Grandfather... don’t worry, your injuries can definitely be healed! Senior Bai, he can surely heal you!" Tan Zixin’s eyes reddened all of a sudden.
"Silly girl, Grandfather has long seen through life and death, why would I cling to my own life and death. To be able to save your life, Grandfather would die without regret, I am only worried that after my death, the Earth Yuan Palace would decline..."
Suddenly, the Old Yuan Emperor turned serious and said to Tan Zixin, "Zixin, you go out first, I have something to say to Young Friend Bai."
"Yes..." Tan Zixin looked pleadingly at Ning Fan, her eyes asking Ning Fan to do everything in his power to heal the Old Yuan Emperor’s injuries.
Ning Fan gave her a reassuring look, and she then walked out of the Yangxin Hall, standing quietly outside, waiting for the diagnosis result.
"Does Senior have something to say to me? Is it related to Miss Zixin?" Ning Fan asked with a smile.
"Haha, young friend, what do you think of this old man’s granddaughter?" The Old Yuan Emperor also smiled meaningfully.
"She is very nice, but perhaps not fated with me. Senior should know that I am a cultivator from the Rain Immortal World, and my main cultivation isn’t with demons." Ning Fan said without changing his expression.
"Sigh, in the future, does young friend not intend to ascend to the Land of Demons..." The Old Yuan Emperor revealed a regretful expression.
In fact, he didn’t have much confidence that Ning Fan could heal his injuries.
But he valued Ning Fan’s strength and character and wanted, before his death, to entrust the entire Earth Yuan Palace to Ning Fan’s care.
In the future, if Ning Fan ascends to the Land of Demons, he could also take care of the descendants of the Earth Yuan Palace, at least help Tan Zixin ascend...
However, Ning Fan’s meaning was also very clear, he is a cultivator from the Rain Immortal World, and would eventually return to the Rain Immortal World, not staying long in the Demon World.
His main cultivation isn’t with demons, and the place of ascension would most likely not be the Land of Demons in the upper realms.
The Old Yuan Emperor’s request, Ning Fan could not agree to.
"Let me first diagnose Senior’s injuries, please sit down." Ning Fan reseated himself, extending two fingers, dark spirit force of medicine soul entwining them, pressing onto the Old Yuan Emperor’s wrist.
The dark soul force seeped into the Old Yuan Emperor’s body, thoroughly inspecting the injuries within.
Ning Fan’s gaze grew increasingly serious, whereas the Old Yuan Emperor felt another wave of shock in his heart.
"This young man is actually a Sixth Revolution Pills Master!"
A Sixth Revolution Pills Master is even rarer than ordinary old monsters of the Void Fragmentation realm.
For Ning Fan to attain such high realms in both cultivation and dan refinement within the limited bone age, the Old Yuan Emperor was caught off guard.
"May I ask young friend, how are my injuries?" The Old Yuan Emperor’s eyes uncommonly carried a hint of admiration.
"Very serious, the demon soul’s Yin and Yang are separated and can’t be united. Even if forcibly united, it would leave some blemishes, and these blemishes would make it impossible for Senior to become an Immortal in this life, but it can ensure life without worries." Ning Fan said with a frown.
He had a way to use the Yin Yang Locket’s Yin-Yang reconciliation power to forcibly fuse and reunite the Old Yuan Emperor’s demon soul.
But if it were forced, although the Old Yuan Emperor could save his life, due to the blemishes on the demon soul, he would find it difficult to become an immortal in this life.
If there were another ultimate Yin-Yang treasure, temporarily lent to the Old Yuan Emperor to repair the blemishes on the demon soul, then all hidden troubles could be resolved...
The Yin Yang Locket is a treasure of an immortal emperor and shouldn’t be shown easily.
If he could fish up the Yin Dragon and Yang Dragon, obtaining the Yin-Yang Dragon Pearl...
Ning Fan’s eyes flashed subtly, as if he had a plan.
The Old Yuan Emperor, however, was somewhat incredulous.
He had just heard, Ning Fan actually said he has a way to help his demon soul reunite! To help him preserve his life!
Although forcefully uniting the demon soul might leave flaws, making immortality unattainable for him,
for the old Yuan Emperor, who was supposed to die, just being able to preserve his life is already a gain.
"Young friend, do you really have a way to unite my demon soul?!" The old Yuan Emperor’s gaze was more solemn than ever. If he stayed alive, he could take care of the Yuan Hall himself, and Ning Fan wouldn’t need to intervene.
"Indeed, if I could fish out the Yin-Yang Dragon Pearl in the dragon-fishing competition, fully restoring the senior’s demon soul would be simple. However, I am not completely sure if I can fish out the Yin Dragon and Yang Dragon... Anyway, the task of healing the senior’s injury should be arranged after the dragon-fishing competition. Should I not be able to fish out the Yin-Yang Dragon Pearl, I will have no choice but to use forceful methods to merge the senior’s demon soul. Otherwise, delaying for another hundred years will only endanger the senior’s life."
After speaking, Ning Fan raised his palm, and a black demon fire surged from his palm.
The demon fire split, surprisingly separated into cold air and flames, then, with Ning Fan’s mind, melded once more.
What he displayed was the power of harmonizing the opposites of Yin and Yang.
This was to convince the old Yuan Emperor that he was not lying, that he had means to heal him.
After hearing Ning Fan’s words and seeing the separation and fusion of ice and fire in his palm, after a brief silence, the old Yuan Emperor suddenly laughed heartily, with great joy.
"I now firmly believe that you can help save my life. As for fishing out the Yin-Yang Dragon Pearl and completely restoring my demon soul, it’s a pleasant surprise. So I still have a chance to become immortal... Hehe, I’ll follow your advice, and heal me after the dragon-fishing competition."
The old Yuan Emperor believed every word Ning Fan said but was not confident about Ning Fan fishing out the Yin-Yang Dragon Pearl.
No one has fished out the Yin-Yang Dragon Pearl for millions of years, and it’s likely Ning Fan won’t either...
Forget it; no matter. Without the Yin-Yang Dragon Pearl, it’s fine. Just being able to stay alive is a gain.
"Senior, take care to recuperate and restore some spirit energy. After the competition, I will return to treat your injuries. I still need to prepare for the dragon-fishing competition, so I will take my leave first."
"I will not see you off. I will issue orders that if you need anything, you can directly go to the Yuan Hall treasury and take whatever you need. No one will bar your way."
"Alright."
Ning Fan walked out of Yangxin Hall, feeling slightly relieved.
Being able to aid the old Yuan Emperor, he considered the favor from the Yuan Emperor Jade repaid.
Outside Yangxin Hall, Tan Zixin anxiously awaited. Seeing Ning Fan emerge, she immediately came forward and asked nervously,
"Is the senior done diagnosing my grandfather’s injuries?"
"Yes."
"How was it..." Tan Zixin’s palms were so tense that they sweated.
"Not very optimistic..."
Before Ning Fan finished his sentence, Tan Zixin almost fainted with a black vision.
Her greatest fear was that her grandfather was beyond cure, and ’not very optimistic’ almost shattered all her hopes.
"I haven’t finished... I can at least keep the old Yuan Emperor alive."
Ning Fan supported Tan Zixin’s slender wrist, which felt cold and smooth; her skin was indeed very fine.
"Ah? You can keep my grandfather alive!" Tan Zixin’s spirits revived at once, and she burst into laughter, not minding her wrist being grasped.
"Indeed, if in this competition I can fish out the Yin-Yang Dragon Pearl, I could even help the old Yuan Emperor’s demon soul recover, restoring his hopes of immortality. However, even if I can’t fish it out, I can at least save his life."
"Thank you, thank you, thank you..."
Tan Zixin was already too moved to speak; after four hundred years of waiting, Ning Fan finally came with help to save her grandfather’s life.
If there’s a chance, he might even help her grandfather regain hope for immortality...
For four hundred years, she’d lived every day in regret. At this moment, her heart knot truly untangled.
Thinking of the sufferings her grandfather endured for her, Tan Zixin was momentarily overwhelmed with both joy and sorrow. Her eyes tinged with tears as she leaned into Ning Fan’s embrace and cried softly.
Moments later, she realized her behavior was extremely discourteous and reckless, lowly exclaimed, wiped away her tears, leapt from Ning Fan’s embrace, her face red as blood, and lowered her head in shame.
It was so impolite, truly very impolite...
Due to overwhelming emotions, she unintentionally ran into Ning Fan’s arms to cry...
"Um... Senior Bai, I apologize for staining your clothes with my tears..." Tan Zixin said apologetically.
"It’s no bother. Tears of joy are perfectly normal among people. I still need to prepare for the dragon-fishing competition, so I’ll proceed ahead. After the competition, I’ll come again to assist in healing the old Yuan Emperor. Farewell."
Ning Fan gave her a slight nod and turned to leave.
His eyes remained clear, showing no desire toward Tan Zixin.
In his heart, only thoughts of the dragon-fishing competition occupied his mind.
Watching Ning Fan’s departing back, Tan Zixin’s water-like eyes held gratitude and a trace of indefinable emotion.
"Thank you..."
...
Ning Fan returned to Demon River Palace, and soon, Li Long completed the tasks Ning Fan entrusted, bringing back a large amount of pills and valuable treasures.
"Spending six hundred fifty billion immortal jade from a trillion, three hundred fifty billion remain. I traversed all the demon cities within a hundred thousand billion miles. Purchased 954 Sixth Revolution Pills, 35 Seventh Revolution Pills, 107 Qilin Vines, 53 Biyue Flowers, 77 Coagulation Herbs... All these are supreme treasures for restoring spirit souls."
"Here is the detailed account. Please, master, review, proving I did not embezzle a single piece of immortal jade."
Li Long stood with his fists together, respectfully bowing.
His heart felt slightly shocked; in just three days, he vaguely felt Ning Fan had grown much stronger again.
And at this moment, Ning Fan seemed to possess some secret treasure. This treasure gave Li Long, a Seventh Shattered Realm master, an instinct to not defy.
Defying that treasure might lead to instant death at its hands...
Three days earlier, he hadn’t felt such an intense crisis emanating from Ning Fan.
Three days later, Ning Fan unexpectedly holds enough power to instantly kill him; it’s truly astounding.
"No need to check the account. You volunteered to serve me, and I trust you. It’s been a tiring few days, so take a good rest. The dragon-fishing competition is coming; aim for a good result."
"Yes! I will take my leave first!"
Li Long, having traveled countless demon cities in three days, purchasing many valuable treasures, was indeed exhausted and needed a good rest.
After Li Long left, Ning Fan transformed and entered the Xuan Yin Treasure, quietly stepping into the thatched cottage, not interrupting Luo You’s cultivation, silently placing the storage pouch beside her, leaving the silent maiden, he departed.
Returning to the outside world, it was amidst the vast night darkness.
When dawn breaks, the dragon-fishing competition will commence in Tianyuan City.
He left the house, standing in the courtyard, hands behind, under the night, standing for long.
In his mind, he recalled the life-and-death steps of Tan Tianyan.
In Tianyan’s steps, there was an innate power over life and death, already treading upon it, standing above life and death.
This is the step one should have when about to become immortal!
Huayu stood outside Ning Fan’s quarters for a long time before finally bringing a tray of spirit fruits and wines to see Ning Fan.
This time, she did not intend to offer herself to him. She knew that even if she did, Ning Fan might not want it.
She brought spirit wine and spirit fruit to wish Ning Fan success in tomorrow’s Dragon Fishing Competition.
But she had only just stepped into Ning Fan’s quarters when she halted.
She saw Ning Fan standing in the courtyard, surrounded by an aura as vast as the Dao itself, seeming to have the power to decide life and death with a single thought.
Knowing Ning Fan was contemplating something, she dared not disturb him.
Meanwhile, the little demoness sat idly in her boudoir, her spirit sense wandering in and out of Ning Fan’s quarters.
"So bored, so bored, not seeing Little Fan Fan every day makes me feel like I’m rusting... Hmm? What’s Little Fan Fan doing? Contemplating life and death?"
The little demoness suddenly perked up, focusing intently on Ning Fan.
Unaware that two women were watching him, Ning Fan’s mind was solely immersed in Tan Tianyan’s life-and-death steps.
His spirit sense was clear, and suddenly he stepped forward.
This step seemed ordinary, but as his foot landed, ripples of black and white spread.
As the ripples expanded, every plant affected within the courtyard either wilted and died or grew more lush and vibrant!
However, the ripples suddenly collapsed, forcing Ning Fan’s eyes open, he withdrew his step, showing a hint of regret.
"This step, with my current realm, I cannot yet take..."
He stood until dawn, not moving a single step further.
Unbeknownst to him, this step had simultaneously shocked the hearts of two women.
Huayu, with her lowly realm, was not too shocked, only moved by Ning Fan’s ability to reverse the life and death of plants.
The little demoness, however, of extremely high realm, if not for cultivation of the Void Sutra and loss of her realm, should be at the peak of Void Fragmentation.
Although her comprehension of the Dao of Life and Death was not as deep as Old Yuan Emperor’s, her divine skills all stemmed from the upper realms, making her slightly superior.
She naturally understood the significance of Ning Fan’s step!
"Treading upon life and death! He actually nearly did it!"
Even she herself hadn’t managed to tread upon life and death, hence her desire to seek The Immemorial Fisherman’s Raincoat Painting and take that step!
Upon taking that step, she would formally enter the Life Immortal realm!
When Ning Fan was at Vein Opening stage, she was already at the peak of Void Fragmentation.
Now she was still not immortal, yet Ning Fan had caught up with her, equally striving toward treading upon life and death... How incredible!
"Although Little Fan Fan hasn’t taken the step, just attempting it is amazing... Tsk tsk tsk, this generation’s inheritor of Ancient Chaos really has monstrous talent... If I don’t strive to cultivate, I won’t fulfill my ancestors’ will to properly trouble him in the future... Such a bother..."
Nights end, and the morning arrives.
Above Tianyuan City, eight Yuan Hall Void Fragmentation suddenly appeared, tearing open a spatial crack in the immortal abode.
In the sky, a huge water pool with purple ripples suddenly manifested!
On all four sides of the pool, four jade platforms appeared out of nowhere.
This pool was invisible from below, only visible from above.
The pool’s bottom was inside the immortal abode!
This pool is the Dragon Rearing Pond, with waters spanning a million miles, its bottom hiding demon dragons!
The pool water contained Territorial Light of Separation, apart from dragons nurtured by secret techniques, none could enter the Dragon Rearing Pond.
Above the waters, there were five hundred small islands prepared for the five hundred cultivators attending!
The waters were still sealed by a formation array, not yet opened.
"The Dragon Fishing Competition is about to begin!"
Within Tianyuan City, countless old monsters opened their eyes at this moment, flying to the sky!
Each old monster either headed toward the four jade platforms as spectators or stood outside the Dragon Rearing Pond’s formation light, readying their fishing rods to fish for demon dragons in the pond.
Numerous old monsters took seats on the four-sided jade platforms, while only Yuan Hall cultivators and the various palace demon emperors could sit on the northern platform.
This time, the ten purple-gold seats were fully filled, except for the Ape Emperor’s seat, nine were taken!
The ten demon emperors of the Demon World came all at once!
These demon emperors used the teleportation formation within the realm, crossing the Land of Demons to Yuan Hall.
The teleportation formation within the realm costs a hundred billion immortal jade to transport one person, but can teleport across the entire Demon World range.
The demon emperors previously absent at the Ascension Tower grand competition now gathered at Yuan Hall, naturally wanting to see the current celebrity of the Demon World—Ancestor Baimu!
On the northern platform, also sat two low-key individuals, one a white-haired girl whose appearance wasn’t exceedingly beautiful but rather delicate, her gaze shockingly ancient.
She was the rogue devil ancestor from the Fox Palace... the Old Fox Emperor! To see Ning Fan who comprehended Lifedeath Dao Light, she personally came to Yuan Hall!
The other was a red-robed elder from the Crimson Hall... the Old Red Emperor!
He too came for the sake of Ning Fan.
The Old Yuan Emperor also appeared low-key, sitting between the two rogue devils, keeping order in such a grand scene requires his presence.
"Elder Tan, you indeed have sharp eyes, being able to see the uniqueness in this child, befriending him ahead of time... I heard your granddaughter is close with this Baimu..." the Old Red Emperor said without expression.
"Heh heh, Elder Tan has always been keen-eyed, you know that... Years ago, the three of us went to the Life Immortal relic, found three treasures, each choosing one. At the time, you chose the Crimson Sky Gold Crown, I took the Water-Calming Immortal Sword, both believing we’d taken the strongest treasure from the relic. Yet Elder Tan chose the most inconspicuous Grotto-Heaven Pearl... tsk tsk tsk, who would have thought that this Grotto-Heaven Pearl was not an ordinary Superior Cave Heaven Treasure..."
The Old Fox Emperor spoke in an ancient voice, looking at Tan Tianyan with some envy.
Within the Grotto-Heaven Pearl, was sealed the lifetime insights of a Life Immortal, all acquired by Tan Tianyan, hence his half-step into the path of immortality.
The pearl itself was an exceptional magical treasure of the immortal abode.
Inside the pearl was not just one high-grade Immortal Abode’s Magical Space, but infinite nascent realms!
If a rogue devil of the same level is trapped within the Grotto-Heaven Pearl, without certain means, it is utterly impossible to escape this pearl’s entrapment.
"Heh heh, when have I, an old man, ever been so sharp-eyed? I merely act spontaneously in all matters. When I first met Ancestor Baimu, I didn’t know he was so formidable; I just felt a connection with him, so I bestowed a little chance upon him. Who would’ve thought, this would bring me great fortune in return...When I first encountered the Grotto-Heaven Pearl, I likewise didn’t know its power. It happened during an ancient ruins exploration—you two old friends were injured while saving me, so how could I argue with you over an immortal treasure? Thus, I took the least of them, the Grotto-Heaven Pearl, never expecting that this pearl would just happen to be an extraordinary treasure..."
The Old Yuan Emperor smiled slightly and said no more.
The Old Crimson Emperor and Old Fox Emperor exchanged glances and both smiled helplessly.
"Look, Ancestor Baimu is here!"
Someone was the first to shout from above the jade platforms on all sides.
In an instant, everyone’s gaze was directed toward a certain direction in the sky.
In that direction, Ning Fan, followed by the respectful gaze of the dragon at his side, was stepping across the heavens!
"He’s not Baimu!" On the eastern jade platform, in an inconspicuous position, sat a man cloaked in a cape.
His eyes flashed with a greenish glow, filled with infinite wickedness.
"Once Lord Cheng Huang meets up with me, I will reveal your identity publicly! Speaking of which, why hasn’t Lord Cheng Huang contacted me yet..."
The cloaked man wore a perplexed expression.
He was supposedly a demon servant of Cheng Huang, but merely nominally so, and hadn’t planted any restrictions, leaving limited means to contact Cheng Huang.
The only Communication Compass he possessed had yet to receive any response from Cheng Huang...
"Wait! Wait until Lord Cheng Huang joins me, then I will reveal your identity... Alone, for now, it’s best to keep a low profile."
He knew his own worth; though relying on the Green Sun Physique, he had broken through to the Second Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm in just a few millennia.
Yet, all of his cultivations were increased through absorption, leaving his energy flimsy and his combat strength so low that even ordinary Broken First Layer Cultivators were unbeatable.
The most he could rely on was his realm, to bully a few Void Refinement Realm cultivators.
He quietly awaited Cheng Huang’s arrival, unaware that Cheng Huang had perished, never to arrive.
"It’s Senior Baimu..." Standing behind the Old Yuan Emperor, Tan Zixin’s bright eyes suddenly glimmered with interest.
"Is he Senior Baimu? Why does he give me such an oddly familiar feeling..." Standing behind Sovereign Qu, there was a youth called Prince Qu Shun.
He had just successfully accomplished Void Refinement months ago and was now a Void Glimpse Stage cultivator.
However, with his Void Glimpse Stage, he still had to address Ning Fan as Senior.
He naturally didn’t know, this widely noticed Baimu before him was someone he was quite familiar with...
Baimu and Lu Bei from the Luo Yun Tribe, they were the same person...
"Baimu!"
He Shixiu’s gaze deepened.
All the gathered cultivators’ eyes were fixed on Ning Fan. As for him, the mysterious old monster bearing the surname He, no one paid him any heed.
Even those Demon Emperors who knew his true identity weren’t paying much mind to him.
This gave him a feeling of being overshadowed by Ning Fan, leaving him rather displeased.
"Daoist, don’t forget the purpose of this trip..." Yun Youmu sighed, slightly reminding him.
He was Ning Fan’s servant and couldn’t reveal Ning Fan’s prowess to He Shixiu.
However, he also didn’t wish to see He Shixiu recklessly offend Ning Fan and die, so he spoke up as a reminder, attempting to redirect He Shixiu’s attention.
"You’re right, my mind was preoccupied with Baimu, almost forgetting our real objective... We came here for the Yin-Yang Dragon Pearl, I’ve brought an item from within the Qiongdao Sect, with this, within a short time, my fortune will approach purple. If there are indeed Yin Dragon and Yang Dragon here, they will surely only be caught by me!"
Theoretically speaking, Void Fragmentation cultivators could cultivate a purple fortune, but those with actual purple fortune were extremely rare, especially in the lower realms.
Dragon fishing requires technical skills and also fortune requirements.
Without fishing skills, it is naturally insufficient to catch a dragon.
Without fortune, no matter how high the fishing skills are, it’s in vain.
There are countless talented individuals in the world, but most suffer from bad fortune, leading an uneventful life.
There are countless ordinary people in the world, but if they seize the time, they can become astonishing, soaring to great heights!
Fortune is also a kind of grand Dao!
"I am determined to catch the most Demon Dragons at this event, and as for that Baimu... his fortune is too weak compared to mine!"
He Shixiu took out a four-colored Treasure Bead, which presented itself in green, cyan, blue, and purple hues.
He shone the bead toward Ning Fan, making a judgment.
The bead had no reaction; Ning Fan’s fortune must indeed be below green.
Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, Purple—the green fortune is the ’fourth grade of ordinary fortune’.
For a dignified Void Fragmentation cultivator to have fortune in the fourth grade of ordinary, this truly drew He Shixiu’s disdain.
He naturally didn’t know, Ning Fan’s apparent fortune was black, so the bead couldn’t measure any fortune.
But Ning Fan’s real fortune was actually purple, the first grade of ordinary fortune!
Among ordinary fortunes, no one’s fortune surpassed purple!
Ning Fan’s fishing skills might not be the highest here, but in terms of fortune, he was indeed unparalleled here!
"Doesn’t seem like there are as many high-fortune individuals as I imagined..."
Ning Fan approached the formation light outside the Dragon Rearing Pond, his gaze swept over the crowd, slightly surprised.
He originally thought all Void Fragmentation cultivators could cultivate purple fortune; it seemed to be merely his assumption.
Cultivating fortune is not such an easy feat.
He could see through fortune, the strongest fortune here was at most blue, the second grade of ordinary fortune.
Theoretically speaking, everyone who advanced to Void Fragmentation had the chance to possess purple fortune.
But reality clearly differs significantly from theory.
"Heh, since most Daoists have arrived, let this old man explain the rules of the Dragon Fishing Conference..."
Elder Zhou Nan stood, cupping his hands toward the cultivators in all directions.
PS: Tweaking the setting for purple fortune, don’t want it to be too prevalent. Fortune can be lost and regained through cultivation; it will be detailed later. In this conference, only the main character will possess purple fortune. (To be continued.
