- Chapter 164 1 (1/2)
The legacy of the founding ancestor!
The battle between Zhou Ming and the two Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators was like a thunderclap, quickly spreading across Wei.
Meanwhile, Ning Fan quietly left Yuanjue Valley amidst various rumors.
He didn’t kill the Old Scholar. He would only be equally matched against him even if he had gone all out. If he wanted to kill the Old Scholar, he needed to sacrifice his blood essence to do so or even… use the stored attack of the Demon General!
It was not worth it no matter which option he chooses and aside from that, he would anger the Rain Palace if he really killed the Old Scholar. It’ll only cause him unnecessary trouble.
Scaring the Old Scholar off was enough, he did not need to go all out on such a minor matter.
He didn’t take notice of the matter in Wei anymore and arrived at the Desolate Hill of the Founding Ancestor in the heart of Wei.
It was a peaceful mountain range shaped like a magnificent dragon with the topography hiding a formation that was hard to detect.
Ning Fan hesitated slightly deep within the mountain range. The formation had already assimilated with Heaven and Earth that it couldn't be easily detected. The grade of the formation was -- Mortal Void.
Wei’s Founding Ancestor must have arranged the formation just before he died. The earth veins linked together towards his eternal resting place under the effect of the great formation.
Ning Fan was quick to find the entrance of the mountain range due to the information he had gathered earlier.
There was an opening of a dangerous crevice on a dragon shaped hill which leads directly towards the earth vein. There were several Wei cultivators gathered at the entrance with treasure hunting and training in mind.
These cultivators weren’t able to go into the deeper levels, but the Spirit Herbs and Spirit Ores that could be found at the outer areas was enough to make them excited. These resources in particular, were of extraordinary quality as they emitted buddhist light.
At the entrance, there were cultivators trying to gather companions to seek for opportunities within the earth vein.
Those that gathered companions at the last minute were mostly rogue cultivators. Cultivators that belonged to sects would move together without having to form a new team.
Ning Fan looked at the entrance and wasn’t the least bit interested in forming a team.
He had spent too much time in Wei so he needed to acquire the Founding Ancestor’s legacy as quickly as possible.
He closed his eyes and probed his divine intent into the earth.
There was many intertwining limestone caves and canyons deep within the earth enveloped with dense fog. Those who carelessly venture into the cave would certainly be lost. The earth vein was dangerous as those cultivators who had died in the past would become ghosts and there were also demon beasts that were born in the caves.
That is only the first level… There’s a path that leads to the second level located in the inner level of the first level. The second level is much more confusing and narrow, with only a few Harmonious Spirit Realm Cultivators searching for treasures in there.
There are several Gold Core Realm cultivators in the third level. It didn't look like they were looking for treasures, but using the pressure of the Founding Ancestor to improve their Body Refinement Technique instead. These Gold Core Realm old monsters felt cold sweat drip down from their backs after Ning Fan’s divine sense swept through them. They were slightly shocked but couldn’t understand the reason why.
No humans were present in the fourth level. Ning Fan searched the small area of the fourth level with his divine intent but he could no longer search deeper.
The fifth level had became much more mysterious…
The Wei’s Founding Ancestor was a Peak Spirit Severing Realm cultivator and was a strong existence in the Rain World. He founded the Wei Country and slept eternally in this place… This kind of cultivator should have left an extraordinary legacy behind.
Compared to other cultivation countries, Wei was incredibly uncommon to be able to preserve its Founding Ancestor’s desolate hill…
Ning Fan then immediately moved towards the entrance.
A teenage girl wearing yellow garments stood at the entrance was looking slightly hesitant but she then blocked Ning Fan’s path. Her white teeth bit her lips while her nervous little face didn’t dare to look Ning Fan in the eyes.
“Th… that…” the teenage girl’s voice was as tiny as mosquito stuttered a little.
She was originally already shy and Ning Fan’s handsomeness only caused the girl to panic.
“Yes?” Ning Fan said indifferently.
“That… Do you want to form a team with us and enter the first floor of the earth vein to search for treasures…” she carefully said. She had a clean appearance, with smooth silky skin, had a cultivation base of the Fourth Level of Vein Opening Realm, she also had pure eyes and was somewhat immature. It was painfully obvious that she had just entered the cultivation world recently.
This immaturity was you would take pity on and together with her looks, many young masters would certainly want to look after her. But for Ning Fan, this girl was just average. He wouldn’t spend another second to mingle with this girl.
“Sorry, I prefer to go solo…”
“Bu… But the first floor of the earth vein is extremely dangerous!” She anxiously said. But Ning Fan walked away further and deeper as if he couldn’t hear anything and vanished into the earth vein.
Having been rejected by Ning Fan, she bit her lips with her white teeth, feeling slightly frustrated and suddenly a pressuring voice came from behind.
