One day after Ning Fan had left the Yang Heaven Palace, Ning Fan returned to the cloud mountain in the Scarlet Heaven Realm.

When the cultivators of the Scarlet Heaven Palace saw Ning Fan on top of the cloud mountain, each of them was as silent as the cicadas in winter. They bowed to him with their utmost respect, without daring to slight him, even though the seventh prince had said several times not to allow anyone to be respectful toward Ning Fan.

However, Ning Fan’s name shook the entire Heavenly Cloud Country today. Which low-levelled cultivator would still be bold enough to disrespect him?

“Welcome, Palace Lord…”

A few hundred revered elders and divine messengers of the Scarlet Heaven Palace came out to receive Ning Fan cordially. Ning Fan, however, just darted a glance at them and then said with an indifferent tone.

.

“Go away.”

With just a single look, he made all the revered elders and divine messengers there break out in a cold sweat as his eyes still contained the piercing and fearsome aura force of defeating all the other eight palaces!

Ning Fan then headed to the palace located in the belly of the mountain. No one dared to stop or disturb him.

Once he entered the palace, he went straight to the Scarlet Heaven Rain Stele.

The stele contained an extremely thick rain intent. It was the best place for him to master the rain technique.

At this moment, his white robes were besmeared with blood. The injuries he suffered were very serious.

Even though he had defeated Yun Ling using his Black Tempest Rupture Art, he was also hurt by Yun Ling’s Rain Sealing Pagoda.

That Yun Ling was just a common Absolute Void Stage expert. Despite that, he still managed to inflict such damage to Ning Fan.

He had to admit that if he were to face an Absolute Void Stage expert who had converted their unital magic power to yuan, his chance of winning would not be large.

And, if he were to face a Void Fragmentation Realm, he could only put on a fight against them by using his trump cards like heavenly tribulation puppets.

He did not have time to heal his wounds now. He just hurriedly took a Sixth Revolution vulnerary pill and started getting busy with his work immediately after that.

He sat down in a meditative posture below the rain stele and raised a finger to point at the direction in front of him. Nine faint silver light masses appeared instantly.

Each of the light masses contained an incomplete set of the rain technique.

Thus, the nine light masses contained nine sets of the rain technique in total.

The Rain of Vast Heaven, the Rain of Yang Heaven, the Rain of Scarlet Heaven, the Rain of Vermilion Heaven, the Rain of Complete Heaven, the Rain of Serene Heaven, the Rain of Profound Heaven, the Rain of Altering Heaven, the Rain of Great Heaven…

The rain techniques of all the nine heavens were all in his hands. Next, all he needed to do was to cultivate the Rain Ancestor’s famous technique – Heaven Prying Rain.

As long as he successfully learns the Heaven Prying Rain, it would not be difficult for him to enveloped the entire Central State with his Absolute Void Stage spirit sense. He could then start searching for the person he wanted to look for within the vicinity of Central State.

At this moment, Ning Fan only had a single thought in mind. It was this thought that drove him to defeat the eight other palaces and study their rain steles…

I must find my mother!

In order to achieve that objective, he would not mind how many trump cards he had to reveal or how many people he would offend.

Recalling the memories of the Weeping Blood Forest, Ning Fan closed his eyes in silence.

When he opened his eyes again, his expression already became calm. He then muttered to himself.

“There are three requirements for the cultivation of the Heaven Prying Rain. Firstly, one must possess the power of the divine, the demon and the devil race!”

“Secondly, one must successfully comprehend the nine sets of rain techniques of the rain steles and master them!”

“Thirdly, fusing the Nine Heavens Rain into one and using it. And that will be the Heaven Prying Rain!”

“I possess the power of the three races and I’ve obtained the nine sets of rain techniques. Moreover, I’ve already mastered the Scarlet Heaven Rain which belongs to the third heaven. Next, I will learn the rain techniques of the other Eight Heavens in proper order…”

Ning Fan opened his mouth and inhaled, swallowing the third light mass into his abdomen.

After that, he waved with his palm and held the first light mass at the center of his palm to learn it.

Even though the severe injuries on his body had yet to heal, Ning Fan paid no attention to them at all. The shadows of his fingers were moving rapidly as he was bitterly cultivating the Vast Heaven Rain Technique from the first light mass.

One month later, he had successfully learned the Vast Heaven Rain Technique. He swallowed the light mass and pulled the second light mass into his palm to comprehend it.

After he had learned the Scarlet Heaven and Vast Heaven Rain Techniques, he only spent twenty days learning the third set of rain techniques.

When he had completely mastered the first three types of rain techniques, he tried to display the Vast Heaven and Yang Heaven Rain simultaneously and fuse them into one.

Each type of those rain techniques could broaden Ning Fan’s senses up to a vicinity of seventy million li* (500m per li).

However, if he combines two types of the rain techniques into one, he could sense things that were at least at three hundred million li* (500m per li) away.

Unfortunately, there seemed to be an unbreakable barrier between the two types of rain techniques, disabling them from fusing with each other.

Ning Fan sighed dejectedly and gave up fusing the rain techniques for the meantime. Right after that, he started learning the rain techniques of the six remaining heavens. With the foundation that was established from his previous experience, the cultivation of the remaining rain techniques became a lot easier.

He only used twelve days to master the Vermilion Heaven Rain, seven days to master the Complete Heaven Rain and three days to master the Serene Heaven Rain.

As for the Profound Heaven Rain, Altering Heaven Rain and Great Heaven Rain, he only spent one day each.

After two and a half months, Ning Fan finished mastering the remaining eight types of rain techniques, making him successfully complete the cultivation of all the Nine Heavens Rain Techniques.

Only the final step was left before he could master the Heaven Prying Rain – fusing the Nine Heavens Rain into one… Would he be able to succeed this last step…?

“Lonely Heaven Rain!”

With a grim expression, Ning Fan suddenly performed hand seals to display the Vast Heaven Rain which rapidly drained away his magic power.

In an instant, light rain began falling upon the vicinity of seventy million li* (500m per li) around the Scarlet Heaven Cloud Mountain and every tree and bush became within Ning Fan’s senses.

Ning Fan inhaled deeply and changed his hand seals.

“Twin Heaven Rain!”

He attempted to fuse the Yang Heaven Rain into the Vast Heaven Rain, making them into one. However, it was still a failed attempt.

“You failed again, huh… Indeed, the Rain Ancestor’s technique can’t be mastered so easily.” In the Profound Yin World, Luo You made a gentle sigh.

Ning Fan gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly. He was reluctant to accept the result… He had already obtained the Nine Heavens Rain Technique but he could not fuse all of them into one…

Even though he knew that his mother was in the Central State and he would have a chance to relocate her as long as he succeeds in fusing the Nine Heavens Rain, he could not master that technique completely…

He just could not accept it!

He suppressed his frustration after failing to display the technique and consumed some pills to recover his magic power.

One day later, his magic power was restored to ninety percent. He tried to combine the rain techniques together but he still could not succeed.

One day. Two days. Three days…

One month passed, two months went by and then three months…

In the fourth month, Ning Fan finally succeeded in fusing the Vast Heaven Rain and Yang Heaven Rain into one!

The moment the two sets of rain techniques combined, the range of the drizzling rain extended to three hundred million li* (500m per li) around the Scarlet Heaven Realm.

Ning Fan almost saw all the living beings beyond the vicinity of three hundred million li* (500m per li)!

However, just as he was about to see everything clearly, the barrier between the two sets of rain techniques appeared once again. Ning Fan felt a sharp pain in his Sea of Consciousness as he coughed out blood suddenly. He failed to accomplish the fusion of the rain techniques again…

“The Nine Heavens Rain can’t be fused together… I can’t use this technique to find her…” Sorrow flashed within Ning Fan’s eyes before he closed them.

He had already become extremely skilled with the Nine Heavens Rain but he still could not command them to fuse into one.

It was not because his comprehension was not good enough but because his rain intent was too weak…

In the past, Ning Fan combined his Divine Intent of Rain, Devil Intent of Devil and Demon Intent of Fu li into one and created the Second Step of Intent Realm – Memory Intent Realm.

However, by looking at the three intent realms individually, the grade of his original rain intent realm still stopped at the Eighth Grade.

The Heaven Prying Rain was extremely heaven-defying. It fused its intent with the rain and used the rain to pry upon the heaven. If one’s rain intent is not powerful enough, they would not be able to pry into the heavens…

Unless Ning Fan increases the grade of his rain intent realm and practices it to a higher level, he would never be able to fuse the Nine Heavens Rain into one…

“Ning Fan… Don’t be discouraged. Since you aren’t able to display the Rain Ancestor’s technique with your current rain intent, then find a way to improve your rain intent. With absolute faith and sincerity, one can even cut open metal and rocks… One day, you will master this technique. I have confidence in you. Regarding the progress of cultivation, haste does not mean speed…” In the Profound Yin World, Luo You comforted him. It was uncommon for her to act so seriously.

“I understand…”

It might be easy for one to understand the logic of what he experienced but it was hard to dispel the sorrow in him.

In the world of mortals, if someone’s relative passes away, everyone would understand the fact that a dead person cannot be brought back to life. Therefore, they would repress their grief and accord with the inevitable loss.
