Chapter 749: Zhi Tian Yin
The nine Demon Immortals led by Ren Jiu fled to the Jade Sea. Ning Fan didn’t chase them, he simply closed his eyes, recalling the inscription in his mind.
...The Beidou Dust Calamity Extinguisher, remnants become emperors, Lu Sheng Tianhuang, stealing Heaven’s Will. Xianhuang Sanqian Yin, realizing the seven seals, refining the heavens into the hand, transforming the hand into the seal. Sweeping the Purple Immortal, defeating the Northern Emperor, unmatched against Mo Zhong, abandoning Heaven’s Will Seizure, establishing the Slaughter Hall, commanding the galaxies, guarding the Big Dipper Blood Realm...
The seizing of Heaven Seizing Seal refers to the Will of Heaven Seizure.
The word "heaven" refers to the process of refining heaven into the hand and transforming the hand into the seal.
Seven-layered hand seals require refining seven layers of the sky!
Zhi Tian, is to use one’s divine skills, refining into heaven, and then transforming to the hand.
Ning Fan suddenly opened his eyes, seven types of divine skills flashed within, seven-colored heavens appeared successively above his head!
The first sky, a blood-red sky, formed by condensing Evil Qi.
"Fuse sky into evil, refine evil into the hand, this seal is named, ’Evil Seal’!"
The second sky, a thunderous sky.
"Boom sky into thunder, refine thunder into the hand, this seal is named, ’Cloud Thunder Seal’!"
The third sky, a cyan sky under the curtain of rain.
"Drench sky into rain, refine rain into the hand, this seal is named, ’Yu Yin’!"
The fourth sky, a sky of sword sense.
"Slash sky into sword, refine sword into the hand, this seal is named, ’sword seal’!"
The fifth sky, a sky of raging fire.
"Burn sky into fire, refine fire into the hand, this seal is named, ’Huo Yin’!"
The sixth sky, a sky formed by the power of life.
"Open sky into life, refine life into the hand, this seal is named, ’Birth Seal’!"
The seventh sky, a sky formed by the power of death.
"Bury sky into death, refine death into the hand, this seal is named, ’Death Seal’!"
The seven-colored heavens collapsed in succession, the seven-layered hand seals consecutively changed color.
In essence, Ning Fan’s creation of Zhi Tian Yin is vastly different from Heaven Seizing Seal.
The seven-colored hand seals merged into one, transforming into a black and white hand seal, in an instant, half of Ning Fan’s mana was almost consumed.
The power of the hand seal nearly reached the strength of an Enlightenment Strike!
Compared to Heaven Seizing Seal, Zhi Tian Yin does not exhaust all mana in one go.
In terms of power, Zhi Tian Yin refined Ning Fan’s seven divine skills into the hand, its power surpasses Heaven Seizing Seal.
At this moment, Black Blaze Heavenly Lord and the nine Demon Immortals had already fled to the depths of the Jade Sea.
Ning Fan’s gaze flashed with Rain Intent, the cyan rain curtain crazily dispersed, within just a few breaths, it covered the entire Jade Sea.
He pinpointed the location of Black Blaze Heavenly Lord and his companions!
Suddenly raising his hand, a palm strike descended, the whole Big Dipper Blood Realm fiercely trembled!
In the next instant, Black Blaze Heavenly Lord and the others found themselves overshadowed by a vast black-and-white hand from above.
The giant hand descended!
Half of Jade Sea was leveled by this palm!
Black Blaze Heavenly Lord and the nine Demon Immortals, without time to react, all perished under Ning Fan’s palm!
"What a shame..." Ning Fan sighed slightly, the state of Unity of Heaven and Man vanished at this moment.
He initially intended to create the eighth and ninth palms using the state of Unity of Heaven and Man, but it seems impossible now.
Dispelling the Dao Image, Ning Fan scanned over the Fate Immortals with the surname Mo, and the eight Fate Immortals, clasping his hands expressed his gratitude.
"Thank you all for your help, I am a Disciple of Slaughter Hall, Ning Fan."
His gratitude was to the eight who rushed to aid him.
Though he hardly required their assistance, as others’ goodwill is to be respected, Ning Fan thanked them nonetheless.
"Wh...what! You are Ning Fan, the first in the recent grand competition!"
The Mo surname Fate Immortals and others all changed their expressions dramatically.
The eight of them were all Masters of Slaughter Hall, responsible for guarding the Blood Realm.
Although they resided in the Blood Realm long-term, they had heard of Ning Fan’s notorious reputation.
How could they have imagined that the one they aimed to rescue, to assist, was none other than the famed Ning Fan of Eastern Heaven.
They heard Ning Fan swept Eastern Heaven’s Chosen with Void Fragmentation realm, seizing first in the grand competition, during the event, he also challenged the sixty-fifth floor of the Tower of Heaven.
Previously, they would never believe a Fracture Summit Master could reach the sixty-fifth floor of the Tower of Heaven, dismissing such rumors as mere fabrications.
But now witnessing Ning Fan’s single palm annihilate nine Demon Immortals, none doubted Ning Fan’s prowess anymore.
"Uh...speaking of which...the palm imprint Ning Junior just performed indeed resembles the obligatory divine skill of our hall’s Slaughter Emperor—the Heaven Seizing Seal..." one Fate Immortal questioned.
"That is the hand seal divine skill Ning has created himself, not Heaven Seizing Seal. If you look closely, it’s rather easy to spot the difference." Ning Fan responded without changing his expression.
The major advantage of modifying Heaven Seizing Seal to Zhi Tian Yin is to avoid being considered the Young Emperor upon its usage.
"Indeed, the Heaven Seizing Seal is the consummate skill of successive Great Emperors, anyone learning this seal either becomes the Slaughter Emperor or the Young Emperor. Despite Ning Junior’s exceptional talent, he has only joined the Slaughter Hall for several decades, how could he have learned the Heaven Seizing Seal..." several Fate Immortals nodded.
"Speaking of which, Ning Junior being able to enter the Blood Realm, perhaps granted the Seven-Star Boat by the Slaughter Emperor?" another Fate Immortal inquired.
"Yes, some time ago I met with the deacon Fei He and the Great Emperor, the Great Emperor found my cultivation arduous, gifting me the Seven-Star Boat, permitting me to enter the realm and become an Immortal."
"I see..."
Several Fate Immortals exchanged a few pleasantries with Ning Fan before departing.
Those who recently broke through to the Immortal Position need immediate seclusion to solidify their foundation, they are tactful people and will not linger here to disturb Ning Fan.
They were unaware that Ning Fan had consumed thirteen Corpse Dissolution Pills, his realm was extremely stable, hence even without seclusion there was no issue.
After the departure of the eight Fate Immortals, Ning Fan cast a peculiar glance at Mu Weiliang and Zili, silently contemplating for a moment before speaking.
"You are actually the Purple Gold Twin Fiends? Why didn’t you tell me before?"
"What is the Purple Gold Twin Fiends?" Mu Weiliang was puzzled again.
"I don’t know." Zili shook her head like a rattle.
Perhaps, these two little girls were entirely unaware of their notorious name...
Returning to the residence, Ning Fan secluded himself for ten days.
Though his realm needed no solidification, his Dao Image required stabilization.
These ten days, naturally, saw Ouyang Nuan and others standing guard for Ning Fan.
After ten days, Ning Fan emerged from the room, finding his residence surrounded by countless Masters.
There were Masters from Plant Willow City, and also Masters from other cultivation cities and cultivation nations.
They came solely to gaze upon the newly ascended Immortal who slew nine Demon Immortals with a single palm—Ning Fan.
Ning Fan had no desire to engage with these people, only calling the Plant Willow City Lord Ren Li into the residence, dismissing all others.
"Brother, are you really an Immortal man!" Ren Li looked at Ning Fan in disbelief, having been companions with Ning Fan for fifty years, always aware Ning Fan was formidable, yet never imagined Ning Fan could be this powerful.
In Ren Li’s heart, Immortals were the paramount beings in this realm!
And Ning Fan’s palm strike that slew nine Demon Immortals, flattening half of Jade Sea...that palm, its strength made Ren Li’s heart pound, eternally etched in his memory, unable to fade!
Ning Fan smiled but did not answer, waving to produce a storage pouch, handing it to Ren Li.
"I am not accustomed to having others call me brother, but since you have done so for many years, take this storage pouch, its contents will suffice for you to cultivate to Divinity Transformation realm."
"Brother, are you leaving!" Ren Li’s face changed, showing traces of reluctance in his eyes.
Towards the storage pouch in his hand, he had absolutely no greed!
He was no longer the rebellious youth of the past, but he would never forget that fierce glance from Ning Fan.
"Hmm, it’s time to go. You have good aptitude and character. If you train diligently, it’s not impossible to become an Immortal in this life. Cultivate well!"
Ning Fan, like an elder, patted Ren Li’s shoulder and encouraged him.
Then, with a wave of his sleeve, a breeze passed through, and he, along with Ouyang Nuan and the others, disappeared in an instant.
In the empty courtyard, soon only Ren Li was left.
"..." Ren Li stood silently, remaining in the same spot for a long time.
He was born an orphan, with no parents, and no one had ever taught him what he should do.
If he hadn’t met Ning Fan, he might have spent his whole life as a roughneck and a hooligan.
But on that day, he saw Ning Fan’s eyes, the eyes of a true strongman!
Yet Ning Fan, such a powerful figure, did not take offense at him or kill him out of anger.
At that moment, he couldn’t guess Ning Fan’s level of cultivation, but he was sure that Ning Fan was stronger than anyone he had ever seen.
On that day, he learned one thing: A true strongman does not bully the weak!
So, he took Ning Fan as his example, honing himself diligently, hoping that one day he could stand on the same level as Ning Fan.
Thus, he kept striving, finally cultivating to his current level, becoming the City Lord with the responsibility to protect Plant Willow City.
With Ning Fan gone, he felt as if he had truly lost an older brother.
"Big Brother is a true strongman... his strength is not just about his cultivation..." Ren Li seemed to understand something and turned to leave.
He decided to become a true strongman, just like Ning Fan!
This turn led to the emergence of nine generations of Young Emperors in the future...
...
Before leaving The Blood Realm, Ning Fan visited Pojun Star Palace to bid farewell to the Slaughter Emperor.
Ning Fan knew that once he left The Blood Realm, he might not return for many years.
He rode the Seven-Star Boat all the way, leaving The Blood Realm.
When he returned to Blood Sea Star, Ning Fan discovered that Wei Wuzhi had already stayed outside for fifty years.
Seeing him again after fifty years, Wei Wuzhi’s eyes were filled with shock!
Part of the shock was at Ning Fan’s cultivation having reached the Human Profound Peak.
And nine parts of the shock were about Ouyang Nuan already being with Ning Fan...
"Little Nuan, was it that rascal Ning Fan who forced you! As your master, I will take care of him!"
Wei Wuzhi raised his hand, ready to summon his Dao Weapon to suppress Ning Fan.
Ouyang Nuan blushed, wondering how she could explain to her master.
Should she say she was willing, not forced? How could she speak such words?
Unable to speak such embarrassing words, all she could do was stand in front of Ning Fan as a human shield, not giving Wei Wuzhi a chance to act.
After a scene, Wei Wuzhi reluctantly accepted the reality.
He also understood his disciple’s feelings, but knowing that his own disciple had been... it was always unsettling.
"Rascal, there’s thirty years left until the Supreme Pill Sacred Domain opens, and I must take Little Nuan back to the Sect to prepare for it. Hmm... if you sincerely beg this old man, I will generously give one of the Medicine Sect’s trial slots to you, allowing you to accompany Little Nuan into the Sacred Domain." Wei Wuzhi said with an awkward expression.
"The slot for the Supreme Pill Sacred Domain..."
Ning Fan’s eyes sharpened.
He was no longer the novice from the Eastern Heaven, and he understood the Supreme Pill Sacred Domain.
The Sacred Domain, worthy of the word ’Sacred’, referred to the legendary Third Step practitioner—the Saint!
The so-called Supreme Pill Sacred Domain was said to be an ancient land of medicine gathering ground created by a Saint specializing in Alchemy Dao.
It contained countless precious spiritual medicines, naturally.
It was also said that within the Supreme Pill Sacred Domain, there were relics left by many Pill Saints...
The Supreme Pill Sacred Domain only appeared once every ten thousand years. Since it was an ancient fragmented interface, those with cultivations exceeding Crossing Truth could not enter, otherwise, the interface would collapse.
Also, because the medicinal aura in this realm is extremely thick, without a Medicine Soul of at least a six-revolution or higher, entering the Sacred Domain would mean being assimilated into medicine.
There were tales of people bringing out a Nine-Turn Emperor Elixir from the Supreme Pill Sacred Domain, and others finding half of an ancient Alchemy Dao secret technique...
Some even reportedly consumed a walking million-year-old spiritual herb within the Supreme Pill Sacred Domain, entered as a Human Profound Initial Stage, and after a thousand years of closed cultivation, they fully refined its medicinal power and reached the Initial Stage of Crossing Truth...
For Alchemists, the Supreme Pill Sacred Domain represents an unparalleled allure, signifying great opportunity.
Only the Alchemy Sects of the Eastern Heaven Immortal Realm qualified to enter the Supreme Pill Sacred Domain in search of chance. Slots were divided based on power strength; the stronger sects had two slots, the weaker, one. The weakest needed to share slots with several forces, often resulting in bloody competitions...
The title of a Saint’s medicine gathering land alone was enough to drive countless Alchemists mad.
Seeing Ning Fan deep in thought, Wei Wuzhi showed impatience, assuming Ning Fan was deliberating whether to ask for his help.
Ouyang Nuan looked at her master with displeasure, feeling her master was too stingy, always making things difficult for juniors despite being an elder.
Urged by his precious disciple’s glare, Wei Wuzhi felt extremely awkward and sighed deeply,
"Alright, alright, let’s not waste words. Remember to come to the Medicine Sect in thirty years! I will take you and Little Nuan to the Sacred Domain! Originally, Little Nuan was supposed to enter the domain with her clan, Qiu Lu, but, hmph!"
Mentioning the clan, Wei Wuzhi’s eyes flickered with a hint of cold light.
Without dwelling much on the topic, Wei Wuzhi gave Ning Fan a few more words of advice.
Three days later, Wei Wuzhi left Blood Sea Star with Ouyang Nuan, returning to the Medicine Sect.
With Ouyang Nuan leaving, Ning Fan felt somewhat empty inside.
After spending fifty years together, to part like this was indeed a bit hard to get used to.
Mu Weiliang and Zili temporarily returned to the Cauldron Ring. Returning to Blood Sea Star, Ning Fan once again found himself alone.
He made a trip to Slaughter City, inquiring about the Eastern Heaven’s secrets during the past fifty years.
Fifty years had passed, and the excitement of the grand competition had long faded, with Ning Fan forgotten by the Slaughter Hall cultivators.
Of course, not everyone had forgotten about him.
Just after returning to the Disciple Quarters and before he could clean the thick dust, Fei He arrived sinisterly.
"Human Profound Peak! Good, good, good!"
Seeing Ning Fan’s Human Profound Peak cultivation, Fei He was overjoyed.
Finally, he could begin implementing his plan!
Finally, he could remove his facade of hypocrisy!
"Hehe, Ning Fan, do you still remember the million-year-old spiritual herb and the Corpse Dissolution Pill I gave you?"
With a cold chuckle, Fei He changed his spirit sense, and Ning Fan’s expression turned to horror, his complexion instantly turned pale, and he fell to the ground in pain.
Looking at Fei He with shock and fear in his eyes!
"Fei... Elder Fei! What did you do... to my body!"
"Nothing much, just transferred some of the corpse poison from my body to you. From the moment you ingested the corpse poison, with a single thought, I can put you to death! Don’t even think about neutralizing the corpse poison! This poison is incurable, a toxin I painstakingly cultivated! Unless you break through to True Immortal, you cannot resolve it! Of course, there is one way to remove it, if you listen to me, I don’t mind helping you draw out the toxin!"
Fei He showed his ghastly white teeth, smiling creepily.
"What does the elder need Ning Fan to do!" Ning Fan gritted his teeth and asked.
"It’s simple, I have a plan currently in motion, and in three years, I need you to help eliminate Yao Qingyun!"
"Wh-what! Junior’s cultivation is low, how can I be a match for Qingyun Elder!" Ning Fan appeared extremely frightened.
"What are you afraid of! I will help sabotage her! Hehe, you even get a beauty for free, why not do it!"
Fei He chuckled sinisterly, casually tossing down a pill and a jade scroll, and walked out of the room with a cold sneer.
Meanwhile, Ning Fan’s gaze gradually cooled, with none of the pain remaining on his face...(to be continued.
