Chapter 1117 - Return to Xuan Ning Island

If this fruit were used as the main ingredient, supplemented with some precious auxiliary materials, it could be used to refine the legendary Profound Life Immeasurable Pill, which would amplify both of its effects.

Legend has it that consuming one Profound Life Immeasurable Pill is enough to increase one's lifespan by at least a century and significantly boost the success rate when breaking through major realms.

For the Core Formation realm, the success rate would be at least eighty percent; for the Nascent Soul realm, at least fifty percent; and even for attempting Spirit Transformation, it would add at least a twenty percent chance.

Therefore, this is definitely a dream-come-true elixir for cultivators.

However, the growth conditions for this spiritual fruit are said to be extremely harsh, and it has been extinct in the Human Realm since ancient times. It's unexpected that the Sea Race would possess a Profound Life Immeasurable Fruit Tree.

"With such a spiritual fruit, the Sea Race would surely keep it a closely guarded secret. How did you find out about it?" Ning Fa couldn't help but ask curiously.

Su Wanwan, however, smiled mysteriously, "That involves my little sister's secrets. But I can tell you with certainty that it absolutely exists.

Moreover, this Profound Life Immeasurable Fruit Tree wasn't cultivated by the Sea Race all along. It was brought out by the first batch of Sea Race Spirit Transformation cultivators who entered Mi Tian Valley after it first underwent an anomaly. The Sea Race also spent considerable resources to secretly cultivate it."

Ning Fa seemed to understand, realizing that the Profound Life Immeasurable Fruit Tree had originated from Mi Tian Valley.

That place had been influenced by Profound Heaven Spirit Treasures for who knows how many years, so the existence of such a natural spiritual fruit wasn't that strange.

Ning Fa then gave Su Wanwan a deep look, certain that this woman held significant secrets, to be able to obtain such information.

However, he always acted according to his principles. This woman had saved his life, and he would not harbor any ill intentions due to greed.

He then asked curiously, "For a spiritual material of this caliber, the Sea Race would surely employ high-grade array formations and have Spirit Transformation cultivators guarding it year-round. Would it be too naive for just the two of you to attempt to steal this fruit?"

Jin Hao nodded obsequiously in agreement, "Senior Ning, what you said is absolutely correct.

That place is indeed heavily guarded by the Sea Race, not only with fifth-grade array formations but also with a Spirit Transformation cultivator permanently stationed there.

Furthermore, that location is connected to the Sea Race's main stronghold via a teleportation array, allowing for the swift arrival of a large number of high-level Sea Race cultivators for support.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for just the two of us to succeed.

However, fellow Daoist Su provided crucial intelligence. In about half a year, something major seems to be happening within the Sea Race.

All of their Spirit Transformation cultivators will be gathered at their main stronghold, and it's likely that the Sea Race Spirit Transformation cultivator guarding the Profound Life Immeasurable Fruit will be no exception.

This way, the two of us will have an opportunity to infiltrate and steal the fruit.

Although that fifth-grade barrier is powerful, fellow Daoist Su possesses many treasures, and I also have a unique innate divine ability that is quite effective at breaking barriers. It should be sufficient to enter.

However, this is merely our best-case scenario, and the actual situation might differ significantly.

Even if the guarding Spirit Transformation cultivator leaves, they would likely leave behind some high-level power to guard it, such as a late fourth-grade Sea Race cultivator.

Despite our preparations, we don't have much confidence.

But if Senior Ning were to join us, the situation would be vastly different."

Su Wanwan immediately nodded as well, "Brother Ning, with your current strength, even if the Sea Race has Spirit Transformation cultivators guarding it, obtaining that Profound Life Immeasurable Fruit would be effortless.

Although you have advanced to the Spirit Transformation realm, the Profound Life Immeasurable Pill should have some effect on your breakthrough to the mid Spirit Transformation stage, and it can also extend your lifespan.

Moreover, I have already prepared all the other auxiliary materials needed to refine the Profound Life Immeasurable Pill. As soon as we obtain the fruit, we can immediately start refining.

After all, the sooner the fruit is used after being picked, the better its effects in the pill.

There should be quite a number of fruits on that tree, enough to refine at least two batches of pills.

With my pill-refining skills, I should be able to produce several pills. At that time, you only need to give one pill each to Brother Jin and me.

After all, such a pill is only effective the first time it's consumed; its effects cannot be stacked."

After speaking, Su Wanwan and Jin Hao looked at Ning Fa expectantly.

Compared to Ning Fa, who had already advanced to the Spirit Transformation realm, the Profound Life Immeasurable Pill would be of far greater use to them, serving as the most crucial aid for their own attempts to reach the Spirit Transformation realm.

Ning Fa's eyebrows slightly rose.

In reality, the Profound Life Immeasurable Pill wouldn't be of much use to him.

His advancement conditions were vastly different from ordinary cultivators, and his lifespan was already immense. Adding a few decades wouldn't hold much appeal.

However, he could keep the pill for those close to him.

With this thought, Ning Fa's heart grew heavy.

He changed the subject and asked another crucial question: "What exactly is happening in half a year that would cause so many high-level Sea Race cultivators to gather together?"

"I'm not entirely sure, but I suspect it might be a ritual they intend to perform to communicate with the Ancestral Sea, possibly related to Mi Tian Valley," Su Wanwan said with some hesitation.

A sharp light flashed in Ning Fa's eyes. He was currently in dire need of Origin Points, so the Spirit Transformation cultivators of the Sea Monster and Beast Races were not a threat but rather lambs to the slaughter.

Perhaps he could take this opportunity to slaughter a large number of Sea Race Spirit Transformation cultivators and replenish his Origin Points.

Furthermore, he couldn't allow the Sea Race to successfully perform their ritual to communicate with the Ancestral Sea. After all, this communication seemed to be unusual, especially at this sensitive juncture, and they couldn't be allowed to succeed easily.

"What do you think, Brother Ning? Should we head there immediately? Half a year will pass quickly. As soon as the Sea Race makes any move, we'll act," Su Wanwan said with some urgency.

Ning Fa, however, shook his head, "I must go to a certain place first.

You two tell me the specific location, and then go to the vicinity of that place to gather information.

If the Sea Race makes any unusual moves, contact me through this Moon Transmission Rune. I will be able to sense it even if I am far away."

"Moreover, these two talismans can also block an attack from a Spirit Transformation cultivator for you."

As he spoke, Ning Fa's eyes glowed with a moon-white spiritual light, forming two crescent-moon-like talismans that merged into the palms of the man and the dog.

"Okay," Su Wanwan said a location, and then left with Jin Hao.

On the spirit boat, Jin Hao wagged his tail frantically, looking at Ning Fa and saying, "Senior Ning, you must come! We're counting on you."

Ning Fa smiled faintly. He had forgotten to ask Jin Hao about his experiences over the years. He would ask next time they met.

At this moment, he looked at the five eyes of Yan E still suspended before him. A sharp light flashed in his eyes, as the Heavenly Book in his Sea of Consciousness was already reacting violently.

It seemed this Giant Spirit Race was quite special, lacking a Nascent Soul. Its essence should all be contained within these five eyes.

With a wave of his hand, he gathered the five eyes, still burning with spirit flames, into his palm. With a flip of his hand, the five eyes vanished.

Concurrently, the Heavenly Book in his Sea of Consciousness flickered:

[A Spirit Eye from a fifth-tier early stage Giant Spirit Race provides thirty points of fourth-tier Origin Points to the Heavenly Book.]

[An Origin Spirit Eye from a fifth-tier early stage Giant Spirit Race provides eighty points of fourth-tier Origin Points to the Heavenly Book.]

Ning Fa's eyes lit up with joy. Of Yan E's five eyes, excluding the central main pupil, the other four each provided thirty points of Origin Points, while the central main pupil provided eighty points, totaling two hundred points of fourth-tier Origin Points.

This far exceeded his expectations.

After all, based on the Heavenly Book's previous absorption of Sea Race Nascent Souls, he had thought it would only provide a hundred points of fourth-tier Origin Points for absorbing a Spirit Transformation cultivator's Nascent Soul.

He hadn't expected Yan E to directly provide two hundred points. He wondered if it was because the Heavenly Book was particularly fond of the Giant Spirit Race.

With this, the two hundred points of fourth-tier Origin Points he owed the Heavenly Book were now cleared.

Ning Fa couldn't help but give a wry smile, as he still owed the Heavenly Book one thousand points of third-tier Origin Points and one hundred points of fifth-tier Origin Points.

The third-tier Origin Points were manageable, but he had no idea how he would repay the fifth-tier Origin Points. He couldn't possibly go and obtain the Nascent Souls of Void Refinement cultivators from the Sea Monster and Beast Races, could he?

However, Ning Fa had a faint feeling that he might find a surprise at the Sea Race's lair.

Next, Ning Fa spent just over ten days to fly across the entirety of the Five Spirits Sea and the Chiyang Sea.

With his current Divine Soul strength and deliberately concealing his presence, it would be difficult for even a late Spirit Transformation cultivator to detect him.

As he passed by, the original Human Race islands and immortal cities had already been occupied by the Sea Monster and Beast Races.

Ning Fa even discovered quite a few Human cultivators being herded like pigs and sheep by the Sea Monster and Beast Races, or reduced to miners in labor camps. They looked utterly miserable.

Ning Fa didn't rush to act, as the news of his advancement to Spirit Transformation could not be exposed yet. He had to achieve the greatest possible results.

Furthermore, his top priority was not these alien races, but his enemies.

Soon, Ning Fa flew to the Haoqiong Sea Domain, where Human cultivators finally began to appear.

The Haoqiong Sea Domain and the Yuanyang Sea Domain were the only two sea domains among the Nine Dragons Sea's nine great sea domains that were controlled by the Human Race.

Although maintaining these two sea domains had cost the Human Race immense resources and the lives of cultivators, these two areas had also consumed a significant amount of the Sea Monster and Beast Races' energy, making them well worth it.

Not long after, Ning Fa saw a magnificent and sturdy city, indistinguishable from the previous Zhenhai City. Even in the sky, there were nine great stars, forming the Nine Palaces Vast Star Array.

To avoid alerting the enemy, Ning Fa did not easily use his Spiritual Sense to investigate.

However, according to Su Wanwan's intelligence, this new Zhenhai City was usually guarded by at least three Human cultivators in the Spirit Transformation realm. In critical moments, Human cultivators in the Spirit Transformation realm scattered across other immortal cultivation worlds could rush to their aid within a short period.

Upon arriving at the Haoqiong Sea, Ning Fa thought of the Star Luo Palace and the Tianshu Alliance, and hatred surged in his heart.

He had secretly vowed to uproot the Tianshu Alliance, the Qianyuan Merchant Alliance, and the Nine Immortals Association. He would not let any of his enemies escape.

Ning Fa bypassed the city and, not long after, finally arrived in the depths of the Qianmo Sea.

He saw two islands less than fifty miles apart. One resembled a crane spreading its wings, and the other resembled a coiled ancient turtle.

These two islands were also important nodes of the natural Illusion Array that concealed Xuan Ning Island.

Entering through the gap between these two islands, and then proceeding sixty miles further to find a specific location, one could enter Xuan Ning Island.

Soon, Ning Fa approached the specific location, but he suddenly stopped his escape light, his eyes flashing with cold light as he looked ahead.

Although the sea area ahead looked no different from other places, with nothing but an endless expanse of sea and blue skies, Ning Fa could clearly see array formation patterns hidden in the void.

The area around the entrance to Xuan Ning Island was clearly set up with a hidden alert array, and it was of a high grade.
