A Body Of Nine *Zhang and Nine *Chi
Therewas a ‘shackle’ on the heart of every cultivator known as the Dao Heart.
Evil cultivators tried to break the shackle and rebuild it again for their lifetime’s cultivation while ancient cultivators were desperate to strengthen that shackle.
However, everyone did not need to toil in reality. One only needed to persist in one’s Dao.
The spiritual qi in Song Country might not be as thick as that of Yue Country but its size was twice the size of it. According to Ning Fan’s estimate, the journey to the northern boundary of Song Country would at least need three months.
Within that three months, the cultivators of Song Country had inspected their ship forty-one times. Every time that happened, Ning Fan would order Bing Ling to show the cultivators the jade locket they got from Song Jun. Therefore, no one dared to put the voyage ship in a difficult position.
In the past three months, the Red Flower Old Demon had tried to ambush their ship seven times. The demon acted cautiously andonly attacked using her spirit sense or demonic arts every time.
Demonic arts differed from magical arts being a special technique that could only be used if the caster possessed Demon Veins. And, the power that was used to fuel the technique was not magic power but mind power!
The cultivation of a demon was separated into body cultivation and arts cultivation. For body cultivation, the demon would normally maintain its demon form. Even if it had broken through Gold Core Stage, it might not be able to shapeshift into human form. It would keep its demon form as the body of a demon was obviously stronger than a human body.
As for arts cultivation, it cultivated the demonic arts that was inherited from the memories of the bloodline. These spirit sense arts which could only be casted using mind power, was no different from normal magical techniques. However, some special demonic arts could be attached to one’s body, attacking one’s Sea of Consciousness. It would be very troublesome to withstand such attack.
Real demon cultivators were rare in the Rain World. Therefore, this Red Flower Old Demon’s background was really interesting.
When the demon attacked the ship by surprise for the first time, the demon was at a distance of 500 li from the ship. She casted a number of Core Realm demonic artswhich were probing attacks to test the defense of the voyage ship. With the Nascent Realm Low Grade defensive formation, her attacks were meaningless.
During the second time, she stayed 800 li away from the ship. This time, she was much more cautious than before. She used seven types of Nascent Realm Low Grade demonic arts and managed to pierce a hole on the ship’s grand formation. However, the shadow of the Starlight Sword flew out from Ning Fan’s glabella. Ning Fan stood on the demonic sense of the of the old demon. Then, all the demonic arts that were casted by the demon were incinerated to nothingness by Ning Fan.
That surprised the old demon. She was inwardly shocked as the young Harmonious Spirit cultivator possessed the Sword of Soul Burning.
During the third time, the demon distanced herself a thousand and a hundred li away from the ship. At that range, Ning Fan’s spirit sense was not able to sense her. However, it was the old demon’s maximum limit for her spirit sense… After all, the old demon’s spirit sense was still better than Ning Fan’s.
This time, the old demon did not hold back. She casted a Nascent Realm Middle Grade demonic arts, also known as the ‘Demon Starfall’. It borrowed the power of the starlight, fusing it with her demonic arts. Its power was extraordinary and it was her ultimate technique.
Within a few breaths time, the grand formation of the ship was crushed! However, the crushing of the formation did not shock Ning Fan. Instead, Ning Fan’s eyes turned cold.
“Three times! You have already exceeded the limit of my patience. If there is the fourth attack, you will regret it!”
Suddenly, a slightly dark spirit sense as though there were dark shadows of swords spread out from Ning Fan’s mind. It went towards the demonic arts to break the ‘Demon Starfall’.
Demonic arts were well-known for the difficulty in defending against them although their power might not compare to magical arts of the same level… Ning Fan used his sword sense to scan through the demonic arts and tore the spirit sense within the arts.
