Chapter 699: Red Plum Falls, Shattered Seventh Realm
Ning Fan did not immediately harvest the more than a hundred Shattered Void Cauldrons he captured.
He already knew that as long as he obtained the token left by Fu Linglong, he could succeed as the Master of the Blood Slave Garden and have every Flower Demon in the Blood Realm willingly become a Cauldron Furnace.
Since the issue could be resolved peacefully, Ning Fan naturally wouldn’t forcefully violate the female cultivators here.
The Master of the Blood Slave Palace mulled over her thoughts, bit her silver teeth, and indeed took Ning Fan to the secret area.
She could see that Ning Fan’s strength surpassed hers and naturally restrained female cultivators, having the power to sweep through the Blood Realm singlehandedly.
Resistance was an unwise move. Since the other party wanted to go to the secret area, the Master of the Blood Slave Palace certainly wouldn’t stop him.
If Ning Fan truly overcame the fierce creature within the secret area and obtained Fu Linglong’s token, he would be the Lord of the Blood Realm.
At that time, without Ning Fan’s command, the Master of the Blood Slave Palace would also bring the Flower Demons here to serve Ning Fan, becoming his Cauldron Furnace.
If Ning Fan wasn’t a match for the fierce creature and died in the secret area, he naturally wouldn’t trouble the women here anymore.
Why not take Ning Fan to the secret area and enjoy the benefits?
"What do you think my chances are of becoming the Lord of the Blood Realm?" Ning Fan asked calmly.
"One in nine to survive." The Master of the Blood Slave Palace replied just as calmly.
What she said was still putting it nicely. In her eyes, Ning Fan was indeed not weak, but he was certainly not a match for that Life Immortal fierce creature.
"What is your name?"
"Number One."
"I see..."
While speaking, the Master of the Blood Slave Palace took Ning Fan straight to the rear garden of the Blood Slave Palace.
It was a garden sealed with blood lines, and as the two reached a rockery, the Master of the Blood Slave Palace changed her hand gesture, making the rockery disappear to reveal a hole beneath it.
"This is the master’s retreat, and the fierce creature is inside... The master’s relics are also inside," the Master of the Blood Slave Palace said calmly.
Ning Fan did not immediately enter the hole but used the Mind Reading Technique to read through the woman’s thoughts completely.
Upon learning that the woman was not lying, Ning Fan nodded and said, "Wait here for me."
With that, his body turned into an Escape Rainbow and flew directly into the hole below.
The Master of the Blood Slave Palace gently shook her head and sighed, "If you really manage to bring out the master’s token, you will be my master, but you won’t succeed. That fierce creature is not something you can beat..."
The hole was bottomless; Ning Fan didn’t reach the ground until he flew for an unknowable amount of time.
Three sides were without a road, only in front was a passageway one zhang high.
The ground was paved with blue stone, and the walls on both sides were embedded with moonstones for lighting.
In front of the passageway, there was an extremely dangerous aura, faintly discernible...
"A thousand zhang ahead, there’s a bronze hall, and that peak Life Immortal fierce creature is there. You wait here; I’ll handle this battle!"
Within his heart, Luo You’s voice echoed.
Ning Fan was silent for a moment, activating the power of the Yin Yang Locket to release Luo You from the Xuan Yin Treasure.
Today, Luo You was draped in light pink elegant clothes, over which she wore a white gauze robe, revealing her gracefully curved neck and clearly visible collarbones.
The hem of her dress flowed like moonlight on the ground, trailing more than three feet, her three thousand strands of azure hair casually tied with a white headband.
Without deliberate dressing, she emanated a uniquely ethereal elegance.
Luo You cast a casual glance back at Ning Fan with a bewitching smile, "Give me ten breaths."
She only needed ten breaths to destroy the fierce creature here. Such confidence!
Ning Fan nodded, fully trusting Luo You’s strength.
Luo You’s spirit was now completely restored, allowing her to exert a trace of Crossing Truth Realm’s power.
Such strength was enough to crush the fierce creature here.
With a single light step, Luo You’s supple body suddenly turned into wisp upon wisp of mist and dispersed.
Next moment, a beast’s wretched howl was heard echoing from the front of the passageway.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths...
On the eighth breath, Luo You’s gentle voice reached out from the front, "Silly brother, you can come over now."
"So fast!"
Ning Fan’s eyes showed slight shock as his form blurred and disappeared from where he stood.
In the next instant, he appeared inside a huge bronze hall.
In the bronze hall, long-burning lamps lit all four sides, with murals carved on its walls.
In the center of the bronze hall, Luo You stood elegantly atop the head of a giant beast that had long since perished.
Before Ning Fan could clearly see the beast’s appearance, the beast suddenly flashed with light and transformed into a blood-red talisman, its spiritual light dim.
Then, the talisman ignited spontaneously without fire, instantly burning to ashes.
"Rune Beast!" Ning Fan’s eyes showed slight vigilance. If his guess was correct, the so-called fierce creature of the secret area was a Rune Beast.
The Talismanic Art is profound and vast. A skilled talisman master could casually draw a talisman to summon demons to attack enemies.
Many grand masters favored using Rune Beasts to guard their abodes.
"Brother’s vision is keen; this fierce creature was indeed a Rune Beast."
Luo You gently descended, and with a slight tap of her delicate foot, floated to Ning Fan’s side.
Her face was slightly pale, indicating that killing this Rune Beast wasn’t as easy as it seemed, after all, Luo You was just in the form of a primordial spirit now.
"Are you alright?" Ning Fan looked at her with concern.
"I’m fine, just slightly tired from exerting the power of the primordial spirit, but it’s nothing serious... Ahead, that stone chamber should be Fu Linglong’s retreat. I can sense a corpse of a Shattered Thought Realm expert inside... I’ll use this corpse to resurrect."
"Alright."
The two moved forward, passing through several bronze halls and reaching a stone chamber in the secret area.
The stone chamber could not be opened from the outside and could only be forcibly blasted open.
The stone chamber’s defense was extremely robust, and Ning Fan’s strength couldn’t blast it open at all.
Luo You again expended a considerable amount of the primordial spirit’s power to shatter the stone chamber open.
The stone chamber was not big, containing only an ice bed, a bookshelf, and a jade table.
On the ice bed lay a woman in a bloody garment, exceptionally beautiful, but just a corpse.
The owner of this corpse is precisely the former Blood Realm Master who perished 6.4 million years ago — Fu Linglong!
Perhaps due to borrowing the chill of the ice bed, this female corpse has not decomposed even after six million years.
Within the stone chamber, another stone door was open.
On the other side of the stone door was a massive stone hall, and inside the hall was a gigantic blood array!
That blood array was a Teleportation Formation that led directly to the Eastern Heaven Immortal World!
Luo You walked to the side of the ice bed and removed the storage pouch from Fu Linglong’s waist, handing it directly to Ning Fan without looking.
"The token of the Blood Realm Master is most likely in this storage pouch. If you acquire it, you can succeed as the Blood Realm Master and freely command the flower demon cauldron furnace here."
Luo You glanced at the jade scrolls on the bookshelf, lightly sighed after viewing their contents, "They’re all tales and anecdotes related to the Immortal Emperor, not much use... It seems Fu Linglong intended to retreat here to become an emperor, but unfortunately, something went awry, and she died here..."
Ning Fan also looked at the jade scrolls here, shaking his head, noting they contained nothing useful.
Examining the storage pouch, it held many empty pill bottles, and from the remaining fragrance of the pills, it was evident these bottles once contained at least Nine Revolutions Elixirs.
Alas, they were all consumed by Fu Linglong...
No cultivation technique, no magical treasure, no Dao Crystals.
However, there was one Blood Jade Token that caught Ning Fan’s attention.
On the Blood Jade Token was carved a single character... Kill!
Just this one character made Ning Fan’s expression change.
The killing intent contained within this token was immensely strong!
"This is... the elder token of the Slaughter Hall! Foolish brother, this time you’ve truly stumbled upon a treasure... but this treasure is also a hot potato..." Luo You looked at Ning Fan with a smirk.
"What do you mean?" Ning Fan asked with a frown.
Luo You, reluctant to part with the Blood Jade Token, sighed and handed it back to Ning Fan, explaining its benefits.
All the Heavenly Decrees of the Four Heavens immortal world are set by the Four Oceans Sect.
The Four Oceans Sect is a power beyond the Four Heavens, encompassing tens of thousands of forces beneath it.
Among countless forces, the Western Heavenly Jade Pond, the Godly Void Pavilion of the Eastern Heaven, the Lost World Palace of the Northern Heaven, and the Zifu Academy of the Southern Heaven are the largest.
The old monster is a deacon of the Four Heavens, considered part of the Four Oceans Sect.
Though the Four Oceans Sect is powerful, it does not mean it can rule over everything in the Four Heavens.
For example, in the Eastern Heaven Immortal World, the Slaughter Hall does not abide by the Heavenly Decrees set by the Four Oceans Sect.
The Slaughter Hall is also a power outside the worldly affairs, rumored to have a Slaughter Emperor with unfathomable strength.
The Slaughter Hall seldom recruits disciples, accepting only one every millennium, and those chosen are invincible among their peers.
Every Slaughter Hall disciple who walks the world is a tyrannical star of misfortune.
The elders of the Slaughter Hall wield great power; with the elder token, they can summon one hundred True Immortal killers from within the sect at any time.
Elders of the Slaughter Hall do not gain their position through appointment but through mutual assassination.
If you can kill the previous elder and seize the elder token, you become an elder of the Slaughter Hall!
With Fu Linglong’s elder token in hand, Ning Fan is counted as an elder of the Slaughter Hall, with the authority to summon one hundred True Immortal killers from the hall!
Accompanied by a hundred True Immortals, Ning Fan could almost sweep through most forces in the Eastern Heaven Immortal World.
From this perspective, the elder token is undoubtedly an invaluable asset.
However, if others were to learn that Ning Fan possesses the elder token, countless would pursue and hunt him for it.
After all, simply by killing Ning Fan and seizing the token, they could become an elder of the Slaughter Hall.
From this angle, the token is undoubtedly a curse.
After hearing Luo You’s explanation, Ning Fan was both tempted and helpless.
Though the token is good, it’s not something he can possess at the moment.
If he were to rush to the Slaughter Hall now and use the token to summon True Immortals, countless Slaughter Hall disciples might immediately eradicate and seize it from him.
"So this token can only be looked at, not used..." Ning Fan shook his head in resignation.
"The elder token has another use," Luo You continued.
"What use?"
"If you join the Slaughter Hall and voluntarily present the elder token, you can gain merit for offering the token, receiving a personal reward from the Slaughter Emperor! Tsk, the Slaughter Emperor of the Slaughter Hall is one of the top Immortal Emperors in the Eastern Heaven Immortal World. If he bestows you with a chance encounter, it could benefit you for a lifetime."
"Oh, so the elder token has such a use as well?"
Ning Fan looked at the Blood Jade Token in his hand, remained silent for a moment, and then spoke, "Enough, the use of this token is not what concerns me now. With this token, I can subdue all the cauldron furnaces of the Blood Realm, which is sufficient... How about you, Little You Er? Will you use this corpse to resurrect here?"
"Yes, that’s my plan... I need some pills to speed up the merging of my primordial spirit with the corpse."
"That’s easy."
With a wave of Ning Fan’s sleeve, dozens of bottles of pills appeared on the jade table beside him.
Ning Fan looked at Luo You, hesitating to speak.
Luo You’s primordial spirit was fully restored, and she had found a perfect corpse, along with pills to accelerate the return of her spirit to her body... She was on the verge of resurrection.
If she succeeds in reviving, she will leave, won’t she...
Luo You turned her gaze away, avoiding Ning Fan’s eyes, hiding a thread of reluctance in her heart.
In the end, she must leave, quietly seek opportunities, and steadily progress to a higher realm, waiting until many years later, when she reaches a sufficient level to avenge her clan...
Her enemies are too strong, and she does not wish to burden Ning Fan with any troubles.
"This corpse isn’t low-level. If I use it to resurrect, my cultivation will likely be restored to the Shedding Void Realm, though resurrection will take longer. At least ten years to fully revive. I will seal this secret land and cultivate here for ten years, after which you shall come find me... is that satisfactory..."
"Very well, there are many Shattered Void Cauldron Furnaces in the Blood Realm. If I absorb them all, my cultivation should increase significantly, and I will need a fair amount of time to cultivate as well. Ten years later, I’ll come for you."
Ning Fan cast an apologetic glance at Luo You, turning to leave the secret place.
He understood that due to his low cultivation, Luo You wasn’t revealing her suppressed concerns to him.
If his cultivation were higher, perhaps Luo You would ask for his help.
Luo You sighed softly, watching Ning Fan’s slightly lonely silhouette, remaining speechless for a long time...
...
When a sharp beast’s cry resounded from the secret land, the Master of the Blood Slave Palace remained dumbstruck.
When Ning Fan appeared in front of the Blood Slave Palace Master with the Blood Jade Token in hand, the Palace Master was shocked, her beautiful face changed dramatically, but she said nothing and immediately knelt before Ning Fan.
"The servant greets the master!"
Master!
As long as Ning Fan has obtained this Blood Jade Token, from today onwards, he will be the master of the Blood Realm!
And all the flower demoness cultivators in the entire Blood Realm will become Ning Fan’s personal Cauldron Furnace!
On that day, Ning Fan subdued the entire Blood Slave Garden.
The Seven Nations of the Blood Realm, totaling one hundred thousand female cultivators, all became Ning Fan’s Cauldron Furnace.
Though he had many Cauldron Furnaces, Ning Fan did not have time to replenish one by one.
For him now, replenishing from Divinity Transformation, Void Refinement Cauldron Furnace is almost useless.
The flower demons in the Blood Slave Garden were all transformed from Blood Burial Grass Demon.
Here, the flower demons are born with Nascent Soul cultivation, but also have shortened lifespans.
After becoming the master of the Blood Realm, Ning Fan’s first action was to place restrictions on all flower demons here and ordered all female cultivators of Divinity Transformation and Void Refinement to abolish their cultivation and re-cultivate.
Only through re-cultivation can they eliminate the issue of their lifespans.
As for over a hundred Void Fragmentation female cultivators, Ning Fan replenished from all of them to abolish their cultivation so they could re-cultivate.
Then, all ten thousand flower demons were collected by Ning Fan into the Cauldron Ring.
The Seven Nations within the Blood Realm were all collected by Ning Fan into the Cauldron Ring.
This Blood Realm is now desolate.
Ning Fan entered the Mysterious Yin World to go into seclusion, alone in the empty Mysterious Yin World, without Luo You accompanying him for the first time.
From now on, this girl would no longer accompany him.
After replenishing from over a hundred Shattered Void Cauldron Furnaces, the Yin Yang Transformation cultivation technique rose to the third level of the fourth realm.
It must be said, the Yin Yang Transformation started to reveal its powerful side gradually.
Ordinary cultivators of the Yin Yang Transformation replenishing from a Shattered Void Cauldron Furnace has effects equivalent to taking a Void Fragmentation Realm Dao Fruit, only able to enhance about one million units of magic power.
Converted to yuan magic power, it is only equivalent to 500 yuan magic power.
Some more powerful merit laws, replenishing from a Shattered Void Cauldron Furnace, maybe be able to boost two to three thousand yuan magic power.
Ning Fan replenishing from a Shattered Void Cauldron Furnace could enhance nearly 5000 yuan magic power.
With the miraculous effect of the Ancient God Heart Apertures, a Shattered Void Cauldron Furnace became 10,000 yuan magic power!
After replenishing all Cauldron Furnaces, Ning Fan’s magic power reached 4.3 million yuan magic power!
The Yin Yang Transformation is not comparable to ordinary dual cultivation merit laws!
If there were a thousand Shattered Void Cauldron Furnaces, Ning Fan is confident to cultivate directly to the Fracture ninth peak.
Unfortunately, Shattered Void Cauldron Furnaces are not cabbages; a place like the Blood Realm with more than a hundred Shattered Void Cauldron Furnaces is difficult to find another like it.
Even above the Four Heavens, Shattered Void Cauldron Furnaces are not easily obtained.
Ten years passed, Ning Fan re-entered the Blood Slave Palace ruins, entering the secret land to find Luo You.
Luo You had already dispelled the seal of the secret land, and now she had fully resurrected and refined her physical body, restoring her original appearance.
She sat atop the icy bed, quietly waiting for Ning Fan’s arrival.
She had to leave, but before leaving, there were things she wanted to leave for Ning Fan...
Ning Fan walked step by step into the rocky seclusion cave, feeling rather heavy-hearted.
Luo You was the girl who had accompanied him the longest, staying in the Mysterious Yin World, accompanying him through his challenges time and time again.
Now that Luo You had resurrected, she was to leave, he felt reluctant, yet helpless.
He knew that his cultivation was too weak to help her or keep her.
And what he originally promised her was to help her resurrect and let her leave.
"Are you going to leave..." Ning Fan looked at Luo You with a bitter smile.
"Yes... Since there is a passage to the Eastern Heaven here, I will go there first, then to other realms seeking opportunities to enhance my strength."
"Where will you go?"
"I’m not sure... Wherever there are opportunities, that’s where I’ll go. Don’t worry, now I am only at the Shedding Void Realm, far from being able to exact revenge, I won’t risk my life recklessly... Come here, I have something to tell you..."
Ning Fan did not think further, sat on the ice bed, leaning against Luo You.
Just as he sat down, a soft and cold pair of lips approached.
"It’s time to part, leaving you something to remember... Isn’t your Stele of Sun and Moon missing the Second Yin Spirit? Take mine..."
Ning Fan’s gaze softened, he did not push away the cold person in his embrace, turning her over and pressing her down on the ice bed.
Through the thin garments, caressing Luo You’s cold soft waist, sliding beneath Luo You’s thin garments, roaming freely...
Suddenly, Ning Fan’s gaze became clear, frowning as he asked, "What’s with the wound on your back? It’s a serious injury, even after rebirth, the wound still remains..."
"Don’t ask, don’t ask anything... Ning Fan, don’t ask, just treat it as an eternal spring dream without awakening..."
No longer calling him silly brother, but calling him Ning Fan.
At this moment, Ning Fan, in Luo You’s eyes, was merely her beloved man, nothing else.
A sharp pain came, drops of red blooms stained the ice bed.
Luo You endured the pain, her long eyelashes withholding tears; she wasn’t a weak person, but at this moment, she forgot all grudges and burdens, willing to be weak for once.
This was just a dream...
Soft moans and whimpers echoed ambiguously within the rocky seclusion cave.
A very beautiful dream...
Who knows how many times it went on, Ning Fan suddenly felt a numbing softness in his body, his consciousness growing hazy.
He bitterly smiled, he had actually fallen into Luo You’s half-baked improved version of the Yin Plucking Finger...
Luo You didn’t have a Yin Yang Locket, but she was a cultivator of the Yin Yang Transformation, effortlessly learned some of Ning Fan’s secret techniques.
Ning Fan tasted the Yin Plucking Finger for the first time...
He knew, Luo You couldn’t bear to leave while he was awake, so she rendered him unconscious, left without saying goodbye...
"Little You Er..."
Ning Fan’s blurred gaze, watching Luo You dressed, looking at him reluctantly, reached out wanting to grab something, but ultimately couldn’t grasp it...
"Ning Fan, I hope we meet again in this life..."
In the mist, Ning Fan saw the determined back of a white-robed woman walking towards the teleportation formation and a teardrop falling onto the floor...
And then, he drifted into deep slumber...
He had reached the Sixth Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm, while Luo You had reached the Shedding Void Realm!
Luo You knew the Dual Cultivation technique and took the initiative to dual cultivate with Ning Fan, so Ning Fan faced no risk.
She gave her maiden gift to Ning Fan, causing his Mana to surge by a million yuan overnight.
In his dreams, Ning Fan’s Mana reached 5.3 million yuan.
The Yin Yang Transformation Cultivation Technique had reached the seventh layer of the third level.
The second Yin Spirit of the Stele of Sun and Moon was completed, but Ning Fan had no mood to look at it.
Upon awakening, he smoothly broke through to the Seventh Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm, casually dispelled his lightning tribulation, increasing his Mana to 5.5 million yuan, but Ning Fan felt no joy.
His heart felt empty as he stared silently at the spots of red plum on the ice bed.
Was the dream, after all, just a dream...
"Shame, shame, shame! Little Fan Fan can’t bear to part with the great beauty!"
"Shame, shame, shame! The great beauty can’t bear to part with Little Fan Fan either!"
"Shame, shame, shame! Little Fan Fan is still bare-bottomed even now!"
"Shame, shame, shame! Actually, Tong Tong also wanted to have a night of spring breeze with Little Fan Fan, but alas, she’s too young..."
"I... I... I don’t want to..." the little stammering girl blushed as she defended herself.
Ning Fan looked at the sword pouch thrown to the side and felt speechless.
While he was sorrowful here, the five little ones were causing a ruckus.
But thanks to their mischief, Ning Fan’s mood improved considerably.
"Be quiet, you all are too noisy."
"Hmph! The great beauty shouted so loudly and you didn’t mind, but you mind when we speak softly, you’re favoring beauty over friends!" the little ones protested.
"..."
Ning Fan was too lazy to argue with the little girls, and only then did he turn his attention to the changes in the Xuan Yin Treasure. What he saw made his eyes tremble.
The time allowed to stay in the Xuan Yin Treasure had increased to one year.
The power of the Stele of Sun and Moon was now comparable to a Life Immortal Realm strike!
Putting on his clothes, Ning Fan took out the crystallized Purple Sun Force from his storage pouch, his eyes glinting.
If he devoured the Third Yang, the Xuan Yin Treasure would continue to upgrade, and the power of the Stele of Sun and Moon could also continue to rise!
At present, the power of the Stele of Sun and Moon was enough to instantly kill an Immortal.
If it continued to escalate...
It might even be difficult for an early Human Profound Life Immortal to withstand a single strike from the Stele of Sun and Moon!
Once the Purple Sun Force was entirely devoured, the time allowed within the Xuan Yin Treasure extended to three years in one go!
As for the power of the Stele of Sun and Moon...
Ning Fan tested it, and using the stele technique once would deplete all his Mana, but it was enough to directly seriously injure a Life Immortal at the initial stage of the Human Profound.
If Luo You hadn’t given him the second Yin Spirit, he naturally wouldn’t have been able to devour the third Yang Spirit.
Luo You worried for him, so she helped enhance the power of the Stele of Sun and Moon to increase his self-preservation power?
Ning Fan fell silent once again.
After three months, Ning Fan completely stabilized his realm at the Seventh Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation, before stepping into the teleportation formation to the Eastern Heaven Immortal World.
Unexpectedly, during transmission, the teleportation formation encountered a slight mishap...
This teleportation formation needed several years of rest after each activation before it could be perfectly activated again.
Neither Ning Fan nor Luo You knew this.
After Luo You left first, Ning Fan, not waiting several years, commenced the transmission, and there was a slight deviation in the teleportation location...
Unintentionally, Ning Fan found himself transported into a sea of Territorial Light of Separation!
Afer sea of Territorial Light, even an Immortal would certainly die if they fell into it.
But Ning Fan...
He was rendered speechless as he, surrounded by 8,800 black stars for protection, forcibly charged through the light sea of Territorial Light of Separation!
At the moment he broke through the sea, Ning Fan was gravely injured and on the brink of death. He saw only a vastness of galaxies before his eyes went dark, and he plunged onto a black Cultivation Star.
The star was named Chaotic Demon Star!
This star region was called Chaotic Demon Star Sea!
On Chaotic Demon Star, there were over seven thousand cultivation kingdoms.
Within a small demon sect in a low ranking cultivation kingdom, several Golden Core demon practitioners were kneeling before a demon statue.
"Alas, my Qianqiu Sect cannot gather enough cauldrons required by the upper kingdom; destruction is imminent, begging the ancestral spirit for guidance, grant Qianqiu a way to survive..."
Several Golden Core elders kowtowed towards the demon statue, followed by dozens of Harmonious Spirit realm cultivators petitioning the statue.
Suddenly, a demonic light descended from the sky, crashing into the ancestral temple of Qianqiu Sect.
A hole was smashed into the hall, and the ancestral image was shattered.
A blood-soaked, demonic aura-surged white-robed youth, with bizarre black star light flickering all around him, appeared in the hall, coldly staring at everyone present.
"Has the ancestral spirit manifested?" A group of Qianqiu Sect demon practitioners looked incredulously at the white-robed youth.
Could this white-robed youth be their ancestor—Thousand Autumn Ancestor?
Has the spirit truly manifested?!
"Greetings to the ancestor!"
The hall was instantly filled with countless joyful and tearful voices.
Ning Fan’s bones were shattered, and he was barely breathing, unable to even muster his Golden Core power.
He looked coldly at the people, not knowing why they called him ancestor, but he commanded, "Prepare a rocky seclusion cave, this old one is going into seclusion immediately!"
