Chapter 675: Burial Immortal Clan
One day later, Ning Fan suppressed his internal injuries, his complexion slightly recovering.
Though the injuries were not fully healed, his mana had completely restored. At this moment, even facing the Seventh Apricot, he could fight and win.
"It seems your injuries are no longer a concern, and thus, I can leave with peace of mind," Wei Xuan said with a comforting smile.
"Senior is leaving? Won’t you enter the Heavenly Court ruins with me?" Ning Fan was surprised.
"No, I brought Chu and Gu from the lower realms, firstly to help you kill the Moksha Emperor, and secondly to deliver some items to your master in the Sword World, assisting him in the final step of unsealing the Dao Soil," Wei Xuan explained.
"I see," Ning Fan understood, knowing the old man was busy unsealing the Dao Soil to cultivate Dao Fruit.
Given this, he naturally wouldn’t stop Wei Xuan and the others from heading to the Sword World.
"If Senior sees my master, please convey a message: ’The one who betrayed the master has perished by the hand of Ning Fan. Please convey my condolences...’
After speaking, Ning Fan closed his eyes.
He knew that in the old monster’s heart, there was always an indelible sorrow about Han Nietian’s betrayal.
He hated Han Nietian, yet had never been able to deliver a fatal blow to him...
To outsiders, the old monster was decisive in killing, but to his disciples, even to the rebellious ones, he was kind and lenient.
Ning Fan firmly believed that with the old monster’s former cultivation and status, finding a powerful protector wasn’t difficult.
If he truly wanted to kill Han Nietian, merely issuing an order might make the strong figures of Black Demon Sect defy the heavenly rules to execute Han Nietian in the lower worlds.
If he truly wanted Han Nietian dead, he would’ve let the gold-eyed sword cultivator act; to him, not to mention Han Nietian, even a Fate Immortal, or an ordinary Crossing Truth Realm True Immortal would not be hard to kill...
The old monster simply was unwilling...
He was always waiting for Han Nietian to turn back, always giving him chances...
The greater the expectation, the larger the disappointment.
He always refused to restore his cultivation, with an indelible sorrow in his heart... until Ning Fan appeared, giving him hope and reigniting his fighting spirit.
He wanted to restore his cultivation, to protect Little Mei, to shield the sky for Ning Fan.
But at this moment, Han Nietian descended upon Seven Apricot, shattering the old monster’s expectations and wounding his heart once more.
Ning Fan knew that by killing the Moksha Emperor, although he could undo a knot in the old monster’s heart and avenge a grudge, it also brought him sorrow.
Because Han Nietian, until his death, never realized his mistake, nor turned back.
Wei Xuan sighed, nodded, then took out a jade scroll and handed it to Ning Fan.
"This scroll has some introductions to the Thirty-Three Heavens of the ancient Heavenly Court, which might be useful to you. I had also prepared some things to aid you in breaking through the Void Fragmentation, but it seems they won’t be needed... Once inside the ancient Heavenly Court, be cautious. As long as you don’t cause a major calamity, with a rogue devil at hand, you shouldn’t be in danger."
Upon Wei Xuan finishing his words, the rogue immortal named Chu stepped forward, casually patting Ning Fan on the shoulder, "I am Chu Jiangnan. You’re pleasing to my eyes. If someday you come to True Flame Star, make sure to find me for a good drink!"
The rogue immortal named Gu also stepped forward, nodding to Ning Fan, being sparing with his words, yet in his eyes, there was no lack of approval, "Old Han was not in vain to have a disciple like you. If you ever come to North Heaven and encounter trouble, you can seek me at the North Heaven Ten Thousand Swords Sect."
Being willing to help the old monster even when he was down and out, they must be old acquaintances, so Ning Fan dared not neglect them, cupping his hands in response.
Then, Wei Xuan and the other two went all the way down to the Lower Fragmented Realm, heading towards the Sword World.
"Cookie Brother, what did you see in that old man with green hair’s memory? Tell me, please. I’m very interested in the Ancient Demon Abyss! Maybe one day I’ll ascend to the Ancient Demon Abyss, after all, I am a dan... "
Little Bright Sparrow was chattering nonsensically, but before finishing her words, she was embraced by Ning Fan, who covered her small mouth with a hand.
Ning Fan gazed upon her with a reproachful look. If Little Bright Sparrow revealed her identity as a demon in this place, it might invite trouble.
The old man in a gray cloak twitched his cheek, seemingly somewhat unable to accept Ning Fan holding Little Bright Sparrow like this.
Upon hearing her mention ascending to the Ancient Demon Abyss, even more so.
What a joke, she was such a noble... how could she ascend to such a filthy place as the Ancient Demon Abyss!
"You wish to know information about the Ancient Demon Abyss, I can tell you, but remember not to speak recklessly anymore, understood?" Ning Fan admonished.
"Mm... remembered..." Being half-embraced and half-held like this by Ning Fan, Little Bright Sparrow felt her heart racing, her cheeks flushing red.
"Look at this then, these are the fragmented memories of that rogue devil."
Ning Fan released Little Bright Sparrow, pointing a finger at her brow, transmitting a series of fragmented memories into her divine sense.
He then took out the jade scroll given by Wei Xuan, immersing his spirit sense into it.
"So this is the Ancient Demon Abyss... Even though Ancestor Zhao He is a Heavenly Demon at the Crossing Truth Realm, the Zhaohe Sect is just a minor force within the Ancient Demon Abyss... The Ancient Demon Abyss is truly powerful..."
Little Bright Sparrow continually exclaimed in shock, drawing the attention of the on-site old monsters of the Void Fragmentation realm, especially the masters of the Demon World, who listened very intently.
The Ancient Demon Abyss was incredibly mysterious; even the four rogue devil ancestors of the Demon World knew very little about it.
They didn’t have Ning Fan’s boldness, searching the memories of the strong figures from the Zhaohe Sect...
Ning Fan paid no heed to Little Bright Sparrow, as long as she didn’t recklessly reveal her identity as a demon, she could say whatever she liked.
His heart and mind were fully immersed in the jade scroll given by Wei Xuan, silent in contemplation after reading it.
Within the Heavenly Court ruins, many demonic beasts roamed, but they were not worth much attention.
What needed caution was the Burial Immortal Clan!
The ancestor of the Burial Immortal Clan was rumored to be a mighty figure formed from the grievances of an immortal corpse from the ancient Heavenly Court.
During his lifetime, he established the Burial Immortal Clan with his own hands, dominating above the Thirty-Three Heavens.
Immortals die without burial, thus came the Burial Immortal Clan.
The clan housed many strong figures of the Void Fragmentation realm, with Nine Ancestors and Eighteen Kings, all of whom were at the rogue immortal rank.
The Burial Immortal Clan practiced corpses’ Qi, studied corpse arts, and refined corpse poison, often seeking ancient Heavenly Court corpses to devour.
Entering the Thirty-Three Heavens, do not kill the strong figures of the Burial Immortal Clan lightly. Killing one person might provoke the siege of countless clan members.
This was Wei Xuan’s warning...
Passing through the sealed gate allows entry to the First Celestial Realm. Others must wait for the seal to break, but those holding a Void Sky Token can ignore the seal and enter the First Celestial Realm ahead of time.
The First Celestial Realm has two Heavenly Gates, both leading to the Second Celestial Realm, and both are guarded by the Burial Immortal Clan, requiring payment of Dao Crystals to pass.
From the Second Celestial Realm to the Third Celestial Realm, there are three Heavenly Gates.
The higher the celestial realm, the more Heavenly Gates there are, and the wider the domain becomes.
Putting away the jade scroll, Ning Fan tapped his storage pouch and took out a red copper token engraved with ten sun engravings.
This is the Void Sky Token, a keepsake from the ancient Heavenly Court, which allows entry into the sealed gate and certain special forbidden grounds within the ancient Heavenly Court.
Generally speaking, only the Four Heavens True Immortals have the qualification to possess this token...
"Still have to wait two more days for the seal to open, so boring." Bright Sparrow muttered after reviewing the intelligence on the Ancient Demon Abyss, feeling rather bored.
"Then, let’s head to the Heavenly Court’s relics first."
Ning Fan wrapped his right arm around the small frame of Little Bright Sparrow, summoned a copper token with his left hand, and with a flash of light, both of them instantly passed through the sealed gate and entered the First Celestial Realm.
"Void Sky Token! A token that allows direct entry into the Heavenly Court! Nieyun Rain Emperor actually possesses such an item!"
"Even among the Four Heavens, this item is only held by monsters above the rank of True Immortals, and he actually has it!"
Exclamations of shock arose from all directions, even the gray-robed elder cloaked in a cape felt some surprise.
None of this concerned Ning Fan.
He put away the Void Sky Token, released Little Bright Sparrow, already in the First Celestial Realm.
Upon arrival, Little Bright Sparrow immediately lifted her nose and sniffed around eagerly, her eyes filled with excitement, "So many delicious things! Over here, and over here, they’re everywhere! Let’s go find some food!" The little girl started drooling.
"Hmm, wait. I’ll search for the location of the Heavenly Gate first."
Ning Fan closed his eyes, with azure-colored rain intent rising around him, he cast the Heaven Prying Rain Technique.
Wuxie had given him three years to ascend to the Thirty-Three Heavens, even mentioning to spare no effort. Ning Fan had already speculated that each of these Thirty-Three Heavens must be tremendously vast, or there would be no need to spend so much time.
"Wow, it’s raining!" Bright Sparrow exclaimed as she watched the drizzling rain filling the sky, reminding her of the days at the Dark Sparrow’s Grave when the rain was dense.
The rain curtain stretched far into the distance; with Ning Fan’s current cultivation, he could perform the Heaven Prying Rain Technique to cover the entire Rain Immortal World with rain!
But the First Celestial Realm was evidently more expansive than the Rain Immortal World. With Ning Fan’s rain technique, not only did he fail to detect the boundaries of the First Celestial Realm, but he also couldn’t find the location of the two Heavenly Gates.
Within the range of his perception, there were at least thousands of demonic or devil beasts above the Void Fragmentation realm.
More were some emaciated, black-armored masters holding long spears who isolated themselves for cultivation here.
These people were likely the Burial Immortal Clan that Wei Xuan had mentioned!
Ning Fan stopped the rain technique, furrowing his brow.
For a moment, he didn’t know which direction to go to locate the Heavenly Gate leading to the Second Celestial Realm.
Might as well follow Bright Sparrow; her keen nose might sniff out the Heavenly Gate’s location.
"Little girl, can you try to sniff out where the Heavenly Gate is?"
"Heavenly Gate, what’s that?" Little Bright Sparrow asked, puzzled.
"Never mind, let’s take it one step at a time. You lead the way to find treasures, and should we encounter any Burial Immortal Clan members also treasure hunting, we could ask them where the Heavenly Gate is. If they guard the gate, collecting Dao Crystals for information shouldn’t be difficult."
Ning Fan retrieved the Ancient Golden Sword, riding it with Bright Sparrow to travel.
He took pills to heal wounds while Bright Sparrow guided them to find treasures.
Most of the demonic and devil beasts they encountered along the way had Second Heavenly Layer of Void Fragmentation Realm cultivations, and any who blocked the road to attack were easily slain by Ning Fan; their corpses handed over to Nieli for devouring.
After devouring the flesh and essence of a rogue devil and numerous powerful figures, Nieli showed signs of breaking through to the Seventh Apricot cultivation.
With Bright Sparrow guiding the way, Ning Fan discovered many hidden ancient Immortal abodes.
These dwellings were of ancient origin, and their contents had long been unusable; occasionally Ning Fan found half-destroyed Immortal treasures, but he barely glanced at them.
However, he found plenty of Dao Crystals; combined with the 32 storage pouches he previously acquired, he had amassed over 3 million Dao Crystals.
These dwellings also housed some rare spiritual medicines, with ages ranging from 50,000 to even 200,000 years.
For Ning Fan, spiritual medicines were currently useless; he had no time to delve into dan refinement techniques.
Bright Sparrow wanted to eat these medicines, so Ning Fan gave them all to her.
"Cookie Brother, it smells so good! So incredibly fragrant! I smell something incredible in this direction, there must be plenty of good things!"
Bright Sparrow suddenly pointed northeast, bursting with excitement.
"Is that so? Then let’s go take a look." Ning Fan casually smiled.
Strangely enough, throughout this journey, he hadn’t encountered a single Burial Immortal Clan power figure, leaving no chance to ask for directions.
Yet, in the direction Bright Sparrow pointed, Ning Fan faintly sensed several powerful auras, akin to the Burial Immortal Clan people.
If they headed in this direction, they would likely find someone to ask about the way.
The Ancient Golden Sword’s swift speed was comparable to rogue immortals; as they raced ahead, halfway across instantly covering millions of miles.
In the distance, a blood-red light soared to the sky, stirring an uncomfortable sensation within Ning Fan.
The sword light raced toward the blood-red light, and as they neared, Ning Fan halted the sword light, vaguely perceiving an ancient altar below.
On the altar, Burial Immortal Clan members donning black armor were being slain continuously in what appeared to be a sacrificial ritual.
Blood-red light soared into the sky above the altar.
All around the altar, countless rare spiritual medicines were arranged.
Numerous Burial Immortal Clan members chanted ancient scriptures, bowing down deeply.
"Ah, these pill treasures have owners... seems I can’t eat them." Little Bright Sparrow showed a disappointed look.
"Hmm, these spiritual medicines are sacrificial items of the Burial Immortal Clan; without necessity, they’re not worth a conflict with the clan..."
Ning Fan entered the ancient Heavenly Court seeking the Undying Tree to save Mu Weiliang.
If possible, he wished to avoid causing trouble and antagonizing the local force — the Burial Immortal Clan.
If he killed any member of the Burial Immortal Clan, it would provoke retaliation from the entire clan.
The Burial Immortal Clan was filled with powerful figures, including the Nine Ancestors and Eighteen Kings... If pursued by 27 rogue immortals, Ning Fan wasn’t confident he could protect himself.
"Hmph! Who goes there, unaware this is my clan’s forbidden ground and must not be intruded upon?"
black-armored men of Void Fragmentation realm ascended, completely surrounding the Ancient Golden Sword.
Among these 12, the weakest had Fifth Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm cultivation, while the strongest was a bald man of the Crumbled Void Seventh Layer.
These 12 men, being the strongest in this place, seemed to be the guardians here.
Ning Fan cupped his fist toward the bald man with Fracture Level Seven cultivation, saying, "I am merely passing through and have no intention of spying."
"Is that so... it appears you are outsiders!" The bald man’s eyes flashed with contempt, a cold smile upon his face.
"Indeed, I am a foreign cultivator. I wonder if you have a map of the First Celestial Realm. I am looking for the Heavenly Gate leading to the Second Celestial Realm." Ning Fan’s expression remained unchanged, ignoring the man’s disdain.
"Oh? You want a map of the First Celestial Realm?"
The man rolled his eyes and laughed heartily,
"That’s easy to arrange. One million Dao Crystals per map. If you are willing to pay, I’ll sell you a map. If not, you can wander aimlessly in the First Celestial Realm. Let me tell you something, among the Thirty-Three Heavens, the First Heaven is the smallest, but even it is as vast as twenty chiliocosms. Even if you have a map and know the location of the Heavenly Gate, it will take you at least half a month to get there from here. Without a map..."
The man raised three fingers and sneered, "It will take at least three years for you to find the Heavenly Gate!"
As a member of the Burial Immortal Clan, the man always looked down on foreign cultivators. Seeing Ning Fan in a hurry, he naturally attempted to rip him off.
Bright Sparrow’s small mouth was agape in astonishment. Selling a map for a million Dao Crystals was outrageously expensive!
For these Burial Immortal Clan members, creating a map was extremely simple, just casually engraving a jade scroll would suffice.
And it could be sold for a million Dao Crystals!!!
It was clearly extortion!!!
"Cookie Brother, let me give him a beating. Once he’s scared, he’ll definitely give you the map for free!" Bright Sparrow waved her tiny fists and said.
"Beat him? Can you defeat him?"
"Uh... I can’t, but aren’t you here? Would you really stand by and watch me get bullied..." Bright Sparrow giggled.
Ning Fan shook his head with a smile. If it weren’t for the fact that saving Mu Weiliang was of utmost importance, with no room for error, he would never let himself get extorted for nothing... He was never one to suffer losses.
As of now...
Ning Fan flicked his sleeve, and a storage pouch containing a million Dao Crystals flew steadily into the bald man’s hand.
The bald man was slightly stunned. He only intended to toy with Ning Fan and never expected him to actually pay.
In his eyes, Ning Fan was a foreign cultivator with only a Shattered Sixth Rank cultivation. He himself was a Fracture Level Seven, so why fear a Shattered Sixth Rank cultivator or foreign cultivator?
Whenever the Ancient Heavenly Court opened, every foreign cultivator had to tread carefully, fearing to offend the Burial Immortal Clan.
Even rogue immortals had to gesture respectfully towards the Burial Immortal Clan, let alone a mere Shattered Sixth Realm like Ning Fan?
Who would dare offend the Burial Immortal Clan within the Thirty-Three Heavens?
The bald man never thought Ning Fan would be willing to spend a million to buy a map.
Holding a million Dao Crystals inspired greed in his heart.
"A million is too little. Give me two million Dao Crystals, and I’ll give you the map of the First Heaven."
"We agreed on a million; how did it become two million?" Bright Sparrow was a bit indignant.
"If you’re unwilling to pay, then leave. Of course, I won’t return that million either." The bald man taunted.
Ning Fan furrowed his brow but said nothing more and flicked his sleeve again, tossing another storage pouch to the bald man.
This storage pouch also contained another million Dao Crystals.
"I want the map." Ning Fan’s tone had grown colder.
"Another million Dao Crystals!" The bald man licked his lips, and the eleven strong members of the Burial Immortal Clan nearby looked at the bald man enviously.
Envy, such envy.
In their eyes, Ning Fan was a fat sheep ready to be slaughtered. But this fat sheep was monopolized by the bald man.
There was nothing they could do about it, as the bald man had the highest cultivation.
He naturally got the benefits first.
"I’ve changed my mind... the map will cost three million Dao Crystals! You still need to give me another million! Hmm, wait..."
Suddenly, the bald man looked at Bright Sparrow in disbelief, as if he had discovered something incredible.
He took out a blood-colored Jade Pendant, flashed it at Bright Sparrow, and when the jade emitted a faint glow, he was overjoyed.
"Haha! A demon! My luck is good; in this round of foreign cultivators, there’s actually a demon among them! The Nine Ancestors and Eighteen Kings have ordered that we must find a demon to help revive the progenitor! Wonderful, truly wonderful! This major credit has come right to me!"
The bald man put away the blood jade, coldly looking at Ning Fan as he said, "Boy, hand over all your Dao Crystals and that little girl beside you. Hmm, this Ancient Golden Sword isn’t bad either; give me that too, and I’ll give you the map!"
"You, you, you!" Little Bright Sparrow was too angry to speak.
She had encountered people who were unreasonably demanding, but never someone as ignorant of boundaries as the bald man.
Of course, the Burial Immortal Clan was notoriously arrogant, and in their eyes, foreign cultivators were just people to be bullied, nothing more.
A flash of killing intent appeared in Ning Fan’s eyes, but he suppressed it and pulled Bright Sparrow behind him, coldly stating, "I don’t want the map anymore. Farewell!"
Unless necessary, he truly didn’t wish to start a war with the Burial Immortal Clan. He just wanted to peacefully save Mu Weiliang.
But he could not possibly hand Bright Sparrow over to them!
"Leaving! Hmph! I was planning to let you off, but since you’re ungrateful, don’t blame me for being impolite! Everyone, attack! Kill the foreign cultivator and capture the little demon girl alive for a reward!"
Upon the bald man’s order, eleven strong members of the Burial Immortal Clan surged forward towards the ancient sword.
Ning Fan closed his eyes, and upon opening them again, there was a flicker of cold light.
He had endured again and again today, but these Burial Immortal Clan members had touched his bottom line!
Turning, he transformed into black attire.
Raising his hand, he performed the Soul Extraction Technique.
Ning Fan’s cultivation instantly reached the peak of the Fracture Seventh Level, and within a moment, he transformed into a shadowy figure.
The entire sky was enveloped in shadow, darkness becoming pervasive!
In an instant, all eleven strong members of the Burial Immortal Clan were covered by the shadows!
Seven Pulverize Fifths, four Pulverize Sixths simultaneously let out screams of extreme terror!
Their bodies were slowly shredded by the shadows, turning into a rain of blood and fragments, raining down from the sky!
Their spirits, in an instant, perished within the Black Turbulent Separation Art!
"Do you dare kill members of the Burial Immortal Clan! Are you not afraid of the Nine Ancestors and Eighteen Kings’ vengeance?" The bald man trembled all over.
At this moment, he felt the boundless killing intent in Ning Fan’s eyes, potent beyond comprehension!
This was a murderous Demon Lord; he had thought he encountered a fat sheep, but little did he know, this person was a fierce tiger in sheep’s clothing!
"If I kill everyone here, who will know you were killed by me!"
Ning Fan waved his hand, collecting the storage pouches of the 11 Burial Immortal Clan experts, the dark shadows dispersing as they rolled towards the bald man.
The bald man trembled violently, and without a word, attempted to escape.
He had already realized he was no match for Ning Fan, even an ordinary Void Fragmentation Eighth Level couldn’t hope to escape unscathed from Ning Fan’s hands!
He wanted to leave, but a golden vortex suddenly appeared beneath his feet, causing them to sink in, leaving no way to escape.
The next moment, the dark shadow attacked, enveloping him.
Amidst a heartrending scream, he was torn apart into countless pieces by the dark shadow.
His Spirit was then captured by Ning Fan, destroying this soul remnant.
Thus, the map was obtained, wasn’t it quite simple?
Ning Fan’s cold gaze swept over the Burial Immortal Clan below, totaling several hundred people, including one or two of the Void Fragmentation realm, all of whom looked at Ning Fan with trepidation.
Many began forming spirit sense, attempting to send out message-transmitting flying swords to inform the Nine Ancestors and Eighteen Kings to execute Ning Fan.
Ning Fan would not give them the chance.
The sword sense formed into a barrier, enveloping everyone within it, allowing no one to send messages outside.
An enormous golden vortex suddenly appeared on the altar floor, sucking hundreds of Burial Immortal strongmen into the Swirling Void Realm, obliterating them within it.
Dao Fruits, storage pouches, and the flesh essence of countless strongmen...
These strongmen’s flesh essence was absorbed into the Cauldron Furnace world by Ning Fan, placed before the massive demon cocoon formed by Nieli.
After these strongmen died, they each emitted a strand of corpse qi, floating in the air, which Ning Fan refined one by one.
This was an unexpected gain, as this corpse qi could gradually improve Ning Fan’s corpse devil physique.
Initially, he thought the Heavenly Court would have overwhelming corpse qi, but it turned out it had been seized by the Burial Immortal Clan...
By obliterating these experts, Ning Fan collected 300,000 Dao Crystals, totaling 3,300,000 Dao Crystals.
The numerous rare Spiritual Medicines on the altar were all taken by Ning Fan and given to Bright Sparrow to consume.
"Cookie Brother is so violent, but I like it." Bright Sparrow, chewing on the Spiritual Medicine, had a contented appearance, speaking with a cheerful tone.
"Let’s go, I’ve already learned the location of the Heavenly Gate, let’s head there directly. Killing the Burial Immortal Clan people like this will surely cause quite a disturbance in the Thirty-Three Heavens."
Ning Fan took a deep look at the altar, the blood light gradually dissipating, yet it left him with an endless sense of foreboding...
Clearing his mind, Ning Fan stepped onto the ancient sword, heading straight for the Heavenly Gate.
...
In the First Celestial Realm, within an ancient forbidden land, a gaunt old man clad in golden armor suddenly flew into a rage.
The ground beneath him was full of extremely profound blood-red runes.
He slapped his storage pouch, pulling out hundreds of shattered soul plates.
Among these soul plates were sacrifices meant for the First Ancestor, as well as guards sent to the altar.
They were dead, all of them!
"Hmph! Within the First Celestial Realm, the highest demonic or devil beasts are three layers into the Void Fragmentation realm, how could they have the strength to attack the altar! The murderer, could it be an outsider cultivator!"
The golden-armored old man’s eyes flashed with killing intent, his rogue immortal aura soaring to the sky.
"If it weren’t necessary for me to guard this forbidden land and protect the awakening of the First Ancestor, I would certainly step forward and find out who’s so bold to kill my Burial Immortal Clan people!"
His gaze darkened, raising his hand to send out countless message-transmitting flying swords.
The contents of the message were simple: order all Burial Immortal Clan members within the First Celestial Realm to kill any outsider cultivator on sight!
"Such mere outsider ants dare provoke my Burial Immortal Clan, hmph!"
The golden-armored old man sneered coldly, closed his eyes again, and began forming an extremely mysterious spirit sense between his fingers.
...
In the Upper Shattered Domain, the sealed gate finally opened!
A number of old monsters of the Void Fragmentation realm, who had been waiting for a long time, swarmed into the First Celestial Realm.
Upon entering the First Celestial Realm, all of them showed incredulous expressions.
But at the gateway, many Burial Immortal strongmen were already standing guard. As soon as they saw people entering the realm, they immediately launched deadly attacks.
"Impossible! Although the Burial Immortal Clan has always looked down upon us outsiders, they wouldn’t attack us so easily. Why do they draw swords against us when the Heavenly Court opens this time!"
"Could it be that someone foolishly killed the Burial Immortal Clan folks, angering them!"
"Who is it!"
"Who else... Only Nieyun Rain Emperor, who entered the First Celestial Realm ahead of time with the Void Sky Token!"
One old monster after another sighed repeatedly, while some also expressed complaints against Ning Fan.
They had strength in numbers, and with seven rogue devil level old monsters present, they naturally weren’t harmed by the Burial Immortal Clan.
Now that enmity with the Burial Immortal Clan was formed, there was naturally no need to be lenient.
Everyone made a move, and soon wiped out this batch of Burial Immortal strongmen.
But the expressions of each old monster were very grim.
Forming a feud with the Burial Immortal Clan made this entry into the Ancient Heavenly Court extremely perilous...
"Rumors say there are Nine Ancestors and Eighteen Kings in the Burial Immortal Clan, with each of the first 27 levels of the Celestial Realms having one rogue immortal ancestral king... To avoid falling into danger alone, I suggest we split into seven teams, each led by a rogue devil level ancestor, exploring for opportunities separately. Thus, even if attacked by the celestial realm kings, it wouldn’t be too dangerous... What do you fellow Daoists think of my suggestion?" an old monster proposed.
"This suggestion is certainly good... We have no objections."
Each low-level Void Fragmentation chimed in agreement, but their faces were full of sighs.
Following a rogue devil level ancestor naturally posed very little risk, but any treasures found would most likely be claimed by these ancestors.
This entry into the Ancient Heavenly Court in search of opportunities might not yield much benefit...
The speed of treasure hunting would also greatly slow down due to the continuous attacks by the Burial Immortal Clan.
