Chapter 521: The World Creating Stone, Giant Zhi Huo

After Ning Fan freed Hong Yi’s corpse, he held it in his embrace and swiftly headed toward the right wing of the palace while stepping on the lightning diagram.

No bronze pillar could be found in the right wing of the palace. Instead, only an ice bed made out of cold jade was placed in the middle of the large empty hall.

On the bed, an illusory female primordial spirit was sleeping.

At the same time, various strange green runes were densely interwoven over that female primordial spirit.

It was none other than the other half of Hong Yi’s primordial spirit.

The runes seemed to have the ability to seal primordial spirits, stubbornly sealing her cultivation base while continuously rendering her unconscious without allowing her to wake up.

The unconscious lady’s brows were tightly knitted together and it seemed like she was in pain. Clearly, she was not comfortable under the effect of the runes.

“These runes… are the divine technique runes of the ancient divine race! Is it possible that the runes on this lady’s body are the sinful seal which Hong Yi previously mentioned?!”

Sinful seal!

Ning Fan had heard of it before! After killing the Fourth Prince of the Rain Palace out of anger, the White-Robed Sword God, Yun Tianjue, was planted with the sinful seal which had restricted his cultivation base at the First Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm for countless years.

If it was not because he forcibly broke through the sinful seal himself, he definitely would not be able to attain his current cultivation base that was at the Fourth Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm!

However, even Yun Tianjue at his best would have to spend many years to break the sinful seal.

The other half of Hong Yi’s primordial spirit was grievously injured and unconscious. If she had to rely on herself to break this seal, she would definitely not be able to do so no matter what.

“A sinful seal, huh…? A seal from an ancient divine technique. This Rain Sovereign is quite extraordinary. However, even if it is an ancient divine seal, it still can’t withstand the erosion of the samsara power… Erase!”

Ning Fan approached the ice bed and placed Hong Yi’s corpse down. Then, using his palm that was already covered with golden purple mist, he carefully pressed against the chest of the unconscious primordial spirit.

The tenderness he felt from his palm made him slightly lose his concentration. However, he immediately put up a grim look and activated his Wind Mist Technique, cautiously eroding the seal following the network of runes.

*Zi Zi Zi*

The sinful seal that even Yun Tianjue had a headache dealing with was actually so fragile in front of Ning Fan. All ancient divine runes on the primordial spirit were slowly disappearing.

It took him a while to erase all of the ancient divine runes, completely destroying the sinful seal.

There was a natural enemy to every existence in the world. When the samsara power fell into Ning Fan’s hands, it actually became his strongest weapon that could break all kinds of locks and seals.

“I’ve also retrieved the primordial spirit…”

Looking at the pale white face on the other half of Hong Yi’s primordial spirit which was still unconscious, Ning Fan felt a wave of anger rising from within him again.

It was really strange for him to feel this kind of anger. He secretly muttered the heart sutra of the Yin Yang Transformation to make his heart as calm as still water, suppressing all of his negative emotions. Afterward, he regained his neutral and calm expression.

He then walked out of the Thunder God Palace on the lightning diagram, carrying Hong Yi’s physical body in his left hand while holding the other half of her primordial spirit in his right.

He had perfectly accomplished the missions that Hong Yi had entrusted to him. However, he took quite a long time to retrieve her corpse and primordial spirit. It had already been at least six hours since he entered the palace.

When Ning Fan walked out of the large entrance gate of the Thunder God Palace, he did not hear any sound of battle from outside.

As soon as he exited the palace, he saw a lady standing outside the large gate with a cold expression while trampling upon the corpse of a giant ape. Who else could it be other than Hong Yi? As for the giant ape beneath her feet, was not it Ti Hun, the creature that had betrayed its master?

Ning Fan had once again deeply understood Hong Yi’s strength and ferocity. Although it had only been several hours, she managed to kill a giant ape at the First Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm. Her combat power was truly incredible.

When she saw Ning Fan finally get out of the Thunder God Palace, she frowned with impatience and said, “You’re too slow! I thought you had already died inside the palace!”

“Are you worried about me?” Ning Fan teased.

“Don’t you want your mouth anymore?” Hong Yi smiled coldly. If Ning Fan dared to utter nonsense once again, she would certainly tear off his mouth.

“…”

Ning Fan decided to keep quiet. Hong Yi was really moody. Who knows if he would provoke her again by saying something wrong?

He quietly passed the corpse and the other half of Hong Yi’s primordial spirit to her. Then, he quietly observed her, trying to see how she would deal with them.

If he was not mistaken, Hong Yi was going to resurrect the corpse and allow her primordial spirit to return to her original body.

To low-level cultivators, resurrection was extremely mysterious. However, when cultivators reached Ning Fan’s level, the so-called resurrection was actually not really that mysterious.

Cultivators with great capabilities could use certain secret techniques to repair their organs, broken limbs and even use special means to reconstruct their physical bodies.

Some devil cultivators who were skilled in corpse seizing techniques could even revive themselves through seizing the bodies of the living.

For experts at Hong Yi’s level, as long as they still had a trace of their primordial spirits left in this world, they had lots of methods to reconstruct their bodies and revive themselves.

“Primordial Spirit Unity!” Hong Yi put her body down. She then lifted her finger and gently placed it on the glabella of the other half of her primordial spirit.

That primordial spirit immediately opened her eyes with a vacant expression. When she saw Hong Yi was the one standing in front of her, she gently smiled and made a gentle step forward to unite with her.

*Howl*

A strong gust of wind blew through the air. The aura force produced from the fusion of Hong Yi’s primordial spirits was too powerful.

This process lasted for three whole days. Three days later, Hong Yi successfully combined with the other half of her primordial spirit. She shifted her blood-red eyes to her own corpse. After pondering for some time, she said with determination.

“The act of fusing primordial spirits is simple. However, perfectly returning one’s primordial spirit to their physical body is difficult. My primordial spirit has been separated from my physical body for far too long. In addition, my primordial spirit also underwent a troublesome situation as I split it into two halves. One half of it was sealed by the sinful seal, being put into ten thousand years of slumber whereas the other half was divided into ten thousand tufts of lightning grass that were hidden across the world. But even so, the lightning grasses also encountered their own problems…”

“Fortunately, Zhou Chen and the others are loyal to me. They have searched for various heavenly ingredients and earthly treasures that are good for nourishing one’s physical body and primordial spirit for me. As long as I can bring this body out of the tomb and return my primordial spirit to my body with the help of those items, I can truly be reborn in no time!”

Hong Yi muttered to herself. In just a brief moment, she had made up her mind to leave the tomb with her body.

“She actually wants to bring an item out of the Sovereign Tomb!” Ning Fan was slightly surprised. However, when he thought about it in another perspective, he no longer found it strange.

Every cultivator who possessed the thunder jade tokens could enter the Sovereign Tomb. However, no one could bring out anything from within the tomb.

But Hong Yi’s case should be a special one. She personally built the Sovereign Tomb. She was the one who put in all of the undead spirits, ingredients and treasures in here. Thus, she certainly could take anything she wants out of here.

The feeling the current Hong Yi who now had a complete primordial spirit gave Ning Fan was vastly different from before.

In Ning Fan’s eyes, the current Hong Yi seemed to have once again become the master of the Sovereign Tomb and the life and death of all undead spirits inside the tomb were now under her control. She could either choose to kill or spare them if she willed it.

“You’ve retrieved my corpse and the other half of my primordial spirit. Thus, I want to give you a reward. There are countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures in the Sovereign Tomb. I kept all of them here in the past. I’ll pick out the most precious of them and show them all to you. You can choose to take three of them with you as a reward from me!”

As soon as Hong Yi finished speaking, she clawed at the sky. The entire Sovereign Tomb began to tremble violently.

All of a sudden, be it the Outer Region, the Central Region or the Divine Region, the undead spirits in every place began to shiver in fear!

They could instinctively feel that the master of the Sovereign Tomb had truly returned!

The entire Sovereign Tomb was under the control of Hong Yi’s consciousness. When Hong Yi clawed at the sky, countless treasures and items flew to the area outside the Thunder God Palace as if they had been infused with spirituality.

There were precious spiritual medicines, magic treasures, pill recipes, spirit minerals and cultivation methods…

There were nearly ten thousand pieces of treasures and items floating in midair.

When Ning Fan took a closer look at them, he found one hundred thousand years old spiritual herbs, fiendgod cultivation methods and even the Bu Zhou Secret Art which Hong Yi cultivated in the past…

According to what Hong Yi said, he could take away any three items that he liked among them. Well, she really was being generous to him!

“Hurry up and pick what you want!”

“Huh? This is… I want that ball of spirit flame!” Ning Fan suddenly saw one thing among the treasures that filled the sky. Without hesitation, he instantly pointed at it and made his first choice.

“You want the Arctic Flame? This flame is just an Earth Vein Demonic Flame and it is ranked fifth among the twelve flames. Are you sure you need this spirit flame?” Hong Yi reminded me.

“Mm. I am sure. This Arctic Flame might not be precious but it has a unique meaning to me!” Ning Fan smiled faintly. Being able to get the Arctic Flame in the Sovereign Tomb was indeed a welcomed surprise.

If he got the Arctic Flame, he would only lack the Mending Heavenly Heart and Earth Blazing Flame to complete his collection of Heavenly Cold Qi and Earth Flames.

“Very well. You’ve chosen the Arctic Flame. Now, you can choose two other items as your reward. What else do you want?” Hong Yi uttered indifferently.

“There is no need to rush. Let me look at them carefully.”

Ning Fan spread out his spirit sense and scanned across each and every one of the items and treasures.

Even though there were many things here, he did not find many things which were really necessary to him.

Ning Fan casually browsed through the treasures. After a while, his eyes suddenly turned serious. He then said with his finger pointing at an item.

“I want this item.”

“It’s the World Creating Stone! You have a good eye. This stone is much more precious than that Arctic Flame. You’ve chosen your second item. Now, you can only choose one more.” Hong Yi said calmly.

Ning Fan’s eyes scanned across many items but he could not find anything else that could really move him.

He shifted his gaze away, no longer looking at those treasures and items. Instead, his eyes fell on the corpse of the giant ape beneath Hong Yi’s feet.

“I want this corpse.” This is the corpse of a Void Fragmentation Realm beast. Be it for brewing wine or concocting Fierce Cultivation Pills, it was extremely valuable.

“Ti Hun’s corpse, huh…?” Hong Yi hesitated for a second. It was unusual for her to behave this way. Afterward, she nodded and said, “Alright! Ti Hun has betrayed me at the end of the day. Since you want its corpse, there is no harm in giving it to you. Let’s leave!”

When Hong Yi gently lifted her finger, the Arctic Flame, the World Creating Stone and the giant ape’s corpse were kept inside a storage pouch which flew to Ning Fan’s hand.

When she flicked her sleeve, both of their figures gradually faded away within the tomb. They were now leaving the Sovereign Tomb.

Ning Fan clung tightly to the storage pouch in his embrace as the scenery before his hand transformed. When he reopened his eyes, his separated soul had already returned to his true body.

The storage pouch that contained the Arctic Flame and the other items were still in his embrace. However, Hong Yi, who was sitting opposite to him naked, was no longer in his room… She has probably already left…

Ning Fan felt a hint of emptiness inside. This feeling was difficult to let go. It was similar to the feeling of your best friend which you had spent days and nights with suddenly leaving you without saying goodbye…

“I must have met her somewhere before…”

“Perhaps she was Ning Honghong which is why I would feel so close to her… Perhaps I’ve already met her even before that…”

Ning Fan shook his head, dismissing his various thoughts to calm his mind. No matter what, he had already repaid the favor to Hong Yi. He now had finished one of his matters in the internal sea.

Before he had time to deal with the Arctic Flame and the other rewards, a massive magic power from his separated soul suddenly spread throughout his entire body!

This time, the cultivation base of his separated soul sharply rose with Hong Yi’s help, reaching five hundred and fifty thousand units.

The moment his separated soul returned, the amount of magic power it had also fused with his true body’s magic power.
