Hermit Wuxin continued, "Fellow Daoist Ning, you don't need to worry too much about the Tianshu Alliance. Over ten thousand years ago, when they overthrew the Zi Yin Immortal Dynasty, the Hall Master of Fu Ling Hall at the time, Yan Yuan Daoist, single-handedly held off two Ancestors from the Zi Yin Immortal Dynasty. Because of this, the Tianshu Alliance promised that they would tacitly allow Fu Ling Hall to exist and would not use the full might of the Tianshu Alliance to strike at Fu Ling Hall. This is also why, for a long time, Lei Prison Mountain has actually been suppressed by Fu Ling Hall, yet the Tianshu Alliance has never intervened to help. This is also why, this time, even though Yan Jingchen knew Fu Ling Hall's deployment long ago and wanted to capture them all in one go, he didn't invite other sects from the Tianshu Alliance. Instead, he only invited some forces from outside the Tianshu Alliance. Therefore, if you, Fellow Daoist Ning, become the Hall Master of Fu Ling Hall, you will only have Lei Prison Mountain as a major enemy, and Lei Prison Mountain's influence doesn't extend to our Five Spirits Sea."
Upon hearing this, Ning Fa suddenly understood. He had previously wondered why he hadn't seen any personnel from other sects of the Tianshu Alliance at Sun Peak. So this was the reason. He couldn't help but ponder, the Tianshu Alliance was indeed one of his concerns. After all, it was the most powerful force in the entire Nine Dragons Sea. It was highly probable that the Tianshu Alliance had Spirit Transformation cultivators. He just wasn't sure if both Taichu Gate and Pure Sword Pavilion had Spirit Transformation cultivators, or if only one of them did. If he had to bear the pressure from the Tianshu Alliance as the Hall Master of Fu Ling Hall, he definitely wouldn't agree. Now that this concern was gone, he found it much more acceptable.
However, the problem was that he was not a native cultivator of the Nine Dragons Sea. Now that he had achieved Nascent Soul Formation, he would definitely need to find a way to return to Cangyuan, especially since the situation in Cangyuan was critical. Although controlling Fu Ling Hall was part of his plan, in his plan, that was something that should happen hundreds of years later, at least after he had resolved his worries in Cangyuan. If he had to become the Hall Master of Fu Ling Hall now, it would truly be difficult.
With this thought, Ning Fa spoke directly, "Fellow Daoist Wuxin, do you know about the Cangyuan Cultivation World?"
Hearing Ning Fa's sudden question, Hermit Wuxin was startled. A flicker of surprise crossed his eyes as he slowly said, "The Cangyuan Cultivation World, I do know a little about it. It is a cultivation world located extremely far to the east of our Nine Dragons Sea. Over ten thousand years ago, our Nine Dragons Sea had a long-distance teleportation array connected to the Cangyuan Cultivation World. However, during the war to overthrow the Zi Yin Immortal Dynasty, this teleportation array was also destroyed, and the two cultivation worlds lost contact. Fellow Daoist Ning, why do you suddenly mention the Cangyuan Cultivation World now...?"
Ning Fa stated frankly, "That's right. I, Ning, am not a native cultivator of the Nine Dragons Sea, but I hail from the Cangyuan Cultivation World. I came here by chance. So now that I have achieved Nascent Soul Formation, I want to find a way to return to Cangyuan, as there are people and matters I care about there. By the way, I also want to ask if your sect knows of any other methods to travel to the Cangyuan Cultivation World?"
As he spoke, Ning Fa looked at Hermit Wuxin with anticipation. This was why he had frankly revealed his origins from Cangyuan. He believed that if there were other means to travel to Cangyuan, the Heavenly Evolution Sect would know. However, to his great disappointment, after Hermit Wuxin's surprise subsided, he slowly shook his head.
"I'm afraid I will have to disappoint you, Fellow Daoist Ning. As far as I know, the Nine Dragons Sea currently only has a long-distance teleportation array controlled by the Sea Race that can directly reach Cangyuan. However, this teleportation array is directly controlled by the Sea Race's Tidal Council, and we human cultivators definitely cannot use it."
Ning Fa's face immediately fell with disappointment. If even Hermit Wuxin didn't know of any other way to return to Cangyuan, then his hopes were slim. He didn't think Hermit Wuxin was trying to trick him into becoming the Hall Master of Fu Ling Hall, because at his level of cultivation, there was no need for such a thing. However, Ning Fa had not completely lost hope, as he still had Fairy Yuanxing as his last hope. Fairy Yuanxing had once said she had a way for him to return to Cangyuan, and he hoped it was true.
At this moment, Hermit Wuxin said again, "I didn't expect you, Fellow Daoist Ning, to be from another cultivation world. But in my opinion, your search for a way back does not conflict with you becoming the Hall Master of Fu Ling Hall. After all, being the Hall Master doesn't require you to handle everything personally. The most important thing now is that Fu Ling Hall needs a new leader, and this new leader must be powerful enough to lead Fu Ling Hall through its difficulties and give hope to the disciples in the hall. It can be said that in the entire Nine Dragons Sea, no one is more suitable than you, who possesses the Five Elements Thunder Body. So the key question is, if you truly find a way back to Cangyuan, will you still come back?"
Ning Fa's expression shifted upon hearing this. Hermit Wuxin then smiled faintly, "Although Fu Ling Hall suffered heavy losses this time, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse. Ordinary sects and forces are definitely no match for Fu Ling Hall. I believe it can bring you many conveniences, and the foundation within Fu Ling Hall is also extraordinary. For example, Fu Ling Hall inherits a special spiritual treasure of Ancestor Juelei, which can only be activated if one possesses all five types of Divine Thunder of the Five Elements. I imagine that in your hands, it should be able to unleash greater power. And there is another matter. In fact, Ancestor Juelei once left a special handwritten record at our Heavenly Evolution Sect and gave instructions."
If a cultivator with the Five Elements Thunder Body becomes the Hall Master of Fu Ling Hall in the future, hand this special journal over to them.
According to him, this special journal can only be opened by cultivators with the Five Elements Thunder Body, so it likely contains special records about it.
"If fellow Daoist Ning becomes the Hall Master of Fu Ling Hall, then this old man can give you this journal."
Upon hearing this, Ning Fa's body trembled, and his eyes shone with divine light.
One of the main reasons he joined Fu Ling Hall was to obtain records about Ancestor Juelei, to see if there was any information on how he opened his internal Sea of Lightning Divine Treasury.
Now, it seemed that the journal mentioned by Hermit Wuxin was very likely to contain related information.
He hadn't expected that Ancestor Juelei would have placed it in the Heavenly Evolution Sect.
Seeing Ning Fa's interest, the smile on Hermit Wuxin's face deepened slightly.
As expected, Ning Fa didn't hesitate for too long before nodding, "Alright, in that case, I will take on the position of Hall Master of Fu Ling Hall."
Hermit Wuxin's eyes revealed a smile, and he nodded, "That's excellent. One month from now, fellow Daoist Ning, please head to Empty Bright Island.
This island is also the new sect mountain gate I've chosen for Fu Ling Hall. It's near a small Thunder Abyss.
The island has a sizable Fourth-grade Lightning Spirit Vein. Although it can't compare to Fu Ling Hall's previous mountain gate, Thunder King Island, it's still quite good.
I will send a message for all important disciples of Fu Ling Hall to gather at Empty Bright Island then. They are currently busy with the relocation.
At that time, I will also read Tian Xu's last words as the Hall Master of Heart Hall and officially announce fellow Daoist Ning as the new Hall Master of Fu Ling Hall."
Ning Fa nodded. Since he had made his decision, he wouldn't hesitate.
In fact, as he had just said, even if he found a way back to Cangyuan, he would definitely have to return to the Nine Dragons Sea in the future.
Compared to the Nine Dragons Sea, the Cangyuan Cultivation World was still too barren and could no longer satisfy the higher spiritual material demands after advancing to Nascent Soul.
The Nine Dragons Sea was a powerful cultivation world, second only to Great Qin and Tianwu. It was rich in resources, especially the Leiming Sea and the Five Spirits Sea, which were abundant in high-grade spiritual materials with Lightning and Five Elements attributes, respectively. This was very important to him.
Therefore, he would not give up on the Nine Dragons Sea, and controlling a major power in the Nine Dragons Sea would naturally be very beneficial to him.
Afterward, Ning Fa and Hermit Wuxin chatted for several more hours before Ning Fa got up to take his leave.
Before Ning Fa left, he hesitated for a moment and ultimately decided not to tell Hermit Wuxin that Yan Jingchen was the reincarnation of that Yan Yuan Daoist.
After all, this matter involved the Primordial Realm Pearl, and caution was necessary.
Furthermore, Ning Fa felt that keeping this secret might be an unexpected trump card, which could make Yan Jingchen wary of him.
If the news of his reincarnation as Yan Yuan Daoist were to leak, it could attract the attention of current Spirit Transformation cultivators.
However, because this matter concerned the Primordial Realm Pearl, Ning Fa would not easily reveal this information.
More than ten days later, Ning Fa, Mingguang, Cang Ya, and Luo Feixuan returned to the Moon Gazing Sect with a group of their disciples.
Soon, Luo Feixuan advanced to the Nascent Soul realm, becoming the fifth Nascent Soul Elder of the sect.
Moreover, the news of Ning Fa displaying his might in the Sky Furnace Fire Marsh, killing many Nascent Soul cultivators of the Sea Race and Demon Race, and becoming the number one Nascent Soul expert in the Golden Water Marsh, spread throughout the entire sect.
At that moment, the entire sect was filled with cheers and excitement.
True Monarch Cangya directly announced the distribution of a considerable amount of Spirit Stones to each disciple as a celebration, further amplifying the atmosphere to its peak.
For a time, the entire sect was adorned with lanterns and decorations, creating a festive atmosphere.
Upon his return, Ning Fa, who was already held in extremely high regard by many disciples as a Supreme Elder, secluded himself in his cave mansion.
In the quiet room of his cave mansion, the Source-Crossing Heavenly Book quietly floated.
The Third-Tier Origin Points on the Heavenly Book had decreased from the original thirteen hundred points to six hundred points.
Beside the Source-Crossing Heavenly Book, there was a jade slip and a milky white bead about the size of a fist.
This bead appeared ordinary, but upon closer inspection, one could vaguely see many white sword shadows rapidly flashing on its surface.
Just looking at it caused a stinging sensation in one's eyes.
At this moment, Ning Fa held a jade slip to his forehead, his eyes tightly closed, his expression changing from time to time.
After a long while, he put down the jade slip and opened his eyes, which were filled with shock.
He had just traced back the Nascent Soul realm cultivation methods of the Ancient Source Thunder Scripture and the Moon God Art.
In addition, he had also traced back the two fused Myriad Swords Diagrams into Sword Soul Beads, consuming a total of seven hundred Third-Tier Origin Points.
Ning Fa had just been reviewing the Nascent Soul chapter of the Ancient Source Thunder Scripture, and its content had shaken him greatly.
The power described in it made him find it somewhat unbelievable.
The cultivation of the Nascent Soul chapter of the Ancient Source Thunder Scripture also involved the Dual Cultivation of Body and Law.
