Immortal Jade, Nascent Soul Realm!

The Immortal Jade that Ning Fan asked for was exorbitant but with the death of Mo Xisheng and the heavy injuries Baimen Sect suffered, Each of the old monsters were convinced that Ning Fan could easily kill them.Immortal Jades are precious, but life was irreplaceable…Only a few old monsters managed to pay the Immortal Jade that Ning Fan ‘asked’ on the spot. The others could not gather the required amount with what they had on their hands. However, Ning Fan allowed them to use Third Revolution Medicinal Pills, Spirit Vessel Magical Treasures or Nascent Level Cultivation Methods as replacement. But even if Gold Core Realm Cultivators had Nascent Level Cultivation Method, they would have regarded it as their trump card. Whereas the Spirit Vessel Magical Treasure are rare and would’ve been their most prized magical treasure. As for Third Revolution Medicinal Pills… Medicinal Pills are forever insufficient, who would be willing to take it out.After such comparison, the Immortal Jade would be the ‘cheapest’ in value. If they don’t have enough, these old monsters could forgo their pride and ‘ask’ from the small sects that are attached to their sects.This was Ning Fan’s original intention. By asking exorbitant price, the Seven Sects would then extort their subordinate sects, one cycle after another.He did not kill each and everyone of them even if he could do it… The reason being that if he were to slaughter all of the top cultivators of Wei’s Seven Sects, Rain Palace would certainly come… Ning Fan was not afraid of Wei but Rain Palace was too powerful and he was not crazy enough to go against the them that had Void Fragmentation Realm Experts in it.He came here with identity of Yuanjue Valley’s Old Ancestor. This identity allowed him to kill Mo Xisheng after he murdered the disciples of Yuanjue Valley and under the pretense of revenge, Rain Palace could not meddle having such justification. The killing of several hundred Harmonious Spirit Realm Cultivators was for the sake of creating a foundation in intimidating and weakening the foundation of the Seven Sects. It was for the purpose of creating an environment where Yuanjue Valley can develop after his departure from Wei. The Rain Palace only cared for Gold Core Realm experts, hence the reason why Ning Fan had spared them.There’s no enmity between Ning Fan and these old monsters… But in the end, he was there to amass wealth and minimize the trouble that may be caused after he obtained what he needed.He stood with his hands behind his back for ten whole days and only released several Early Gold Core Realm Cultivators that paid the required Immortal Jade.These Early Gold Core Realm Cultivators immediately spread shocking news in Wei after they left!Six of the Seven Great Sects’ Old Ancestors were imprisoned and one was even killed! The perpetrator was Yuanjue Valley’s Nascent Soul Realm Old Ancestor that had returned from his thousand year journey!Many Second-rate sect’s old ancestor had joined the Seven Sects, and these sects also wanted to redeem their old ancestors, hence they brought all their Immortal Jade to redeem each of their old ancestor!Suddenly, a lot of cultivators rushed towards Yuanjue Valley and each of them was exceptionally careful when they’ve reached the place. After they saw the scene of the Six Sect’s Old Ancestors being so timid in front of Ning Fan, they were all in massive shock after seeing such a scene!The Mid and Late Gold Core Realm Cultivators were redeemed ten days later. The ones remaining  was the Six Sect’s old ancestors.Each of them had to pay 200,000 Immortal Jade, and the Bai Men Sect that had enraged Ning Fan had to pay 400,000 Immortal Jade.Ning Fan’s eyes were shut throughout the process. Whereas Hou Lian and Zong Ze handled the exchange process from the side.One person at a time!35 early stage, 13 mid stage and 8 late stage cultivation realm, totaling 1.86 million immortal jades and several inventory pouches were filled to the brim with immortal jades.Zong Ze and Hou Lian had never seen such a massive amount of Immortal Jade in their entire lives that even those old monster-level characters would be shaken by this.If the six old ancestors paid all the required Immortal Jade, then Ning Fan would sweep away 3.26 million Immortal Jade from Wei!“3.26 million…. But it’s probably not enough…” Ning Fan was moved with such massive amounts of Immortal Jade, but he also knew that these Immortal Jade was not worth mentioning with his current identity, and massively insufficient for the Lost World Palace cultivation…Not enough, 3.26 million plus the tens of thousands of Immortal Jade I currently possess. It would only amount somewhere around 4 million. But it’s probably not enough for me to cultivate in the Lost World Palace for a long period of time.For Gold Core Realm Cultivators to possess ten thousand Immortal Jade, they would be considered to be rich. For Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators, they had to have several million Immortal Jade to be in the ‘rich’ category. This was the norm, since each Nascent Soul Realm old monsters had the ability to flatten a Low-Grade Cultivation Country and plunder several millions of Immortal Jade… But there were also many Nascent Soul Realm old monsters that spent all their assets in the Lost World Palace for cultivation…The Lost World Palace of the Endless Sea, the rumor was true that massive fortune must be spent every single day…Five days later, the Baimen Sect’s Old Ancestor left after paying 400,000 Immortal Jade.But the remaining five old ancestor had not fully paid the 200,000… as if they were waiting for something.That amount was their entire asset, they would naturally delay a day or two if they could avoid paying. They were waiting for the Rain Palace’s Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator!But the Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator of the Rain Palace was still busy dealing with the demons within Wei and was temporary stuck at the time.Hence, the five old ancestors couldn’t delay anymore and had to helplessly hand over the Immortal Jades… 200,000… they were officially broke. But compared to the 400,000 of Baimen Sect, they were considered to be lucky and compared to the dead Mo Xisheng, they were extremely lucky.Hence, Ning Fan now possessed 3.26 million Immortal Jade!As for Yuanjue’s Nascent Soul Realm Old Ancestor — Zhou Ming, his reputation was spread far and wide in Wei!This man had became a legend for the cultivators of  Wei.Zhou Ming left Wei’s Yuanjue Valley to journey across the world a thousand years ago. He then came back a thousand years later after he attained the Nascent Soul Realm and he alone subjugated the Wei’s Seven Sects during the disaster of Yuanjue Valley!This person’s methods and techniques were extraordinary. He even killed the strongest expert of Wei — Mo Xisheng in just a few exchanges! The whole Saint Mo Valley panicked and the Seven Sects’ cultivators were terrified with just a single word of his!This person was ruthless in killing, but he was tactful and did not annihilate the Seven Sects. This person handled matters smoothly and only asked for Immortal Jades to write off various faction’s enmities!Nobody was willing to believe that Zhou Ming took the opportunity to amass wealth, most people was willing to believe that Zhou Ming setting an example for Yuanjue Valley! Making Yuanjue Valley into a first-rate Sect and even… the number one sect of Wei!There were endless guesses and rumors about Zhou Ming’s identity.There were some cultivators that were curious on the cause of this incident — the All-Heaven Relic, and secretly guessed that Wei’s heirloom was in the hands of Zhou Ming!Nobody knew and nobody dared to ask. If the All-Heaven Relic is to have an owner in Wei, that person could only be Old Ancestor Zhou Ming.Other than the Seven Sects cultivators, many rogue cultivator experts too had come to visit Yuanjue Valley, wishing to join the sect. Furthermore, many second and third-rate influences came wishing to be Yuanjue Valley’s subordinate sects!For this, Zong Ze agreed after gaining approval from Ning Fan. He agreed on their allegiance and subordination!As for Zong Ze, he continue to hold the post of Sect Leader after willingly letting Ning Fan plant a Mental Seal on him.Yuanjue Valley became prosperous under Ning Fan’s influence in just half a month!The main hall was being reconstructed but Ning Fan had not left and silently stood outside of the hall.There was a reason for him staying there.The Desolate Hill of the Founding Ancestor of Wei.While Ning Fan was waiting, Zong Ze and Hou Lian were busy collecting information from various sects and channels about the Desolate Hill of the Founding Ancestor.It was where Wei’s Founding Ancestor was buried, therefore the place was filled with magical treasures, medicinal pills and his relic. It was also rumored that he was a Peak Spirit Severing Realm Cultivator. The cultivation method, medicinal pills and magical treasures he had must have been extraordinary. They would be extremely beneficial for the current Ning Fan.Rumor has it that this secret place has five floors, with each floor more dangerous than the last. Cultivators in the Vein Opening Realm would find it hard to enter the first floor, Harmonious Spirit Realm cultivators would find it difficult to stay on the second floor, Gold Core Realm  cannot stay on the third floor for too long, Nascent Soul Realm old monsters wouldn’t survive on the fourth floor and those in the Spirit Severing Realm would face danger on the fifth floor!The All-Heaven Relic was obtained from that place and there were still many treasures that were like that relic laid untouched.Non-Wei cultivators couldn’t enter, but with the sect master of Yuanjue Valley — Ning Fan would be able to enter!Within Yuanjue Valley, Ning Fan closed his eyes and looked into his Dantian with his divine sense. There was a golden purple relic quietly dormant in his Dantian.Under the relic’s Buddhist light, all divination below Void Refinement Realm would be hidden! This was truly a Supreme Treasure!After all information regarding the Desolate Hill of the Founding Ancestor had been gathered, Ning Fan decided to explore the place and take away all the treasures that Wei’s Founding Ancestor had left behind!But when he was about to leave, escaping lights from two Nascent Soul Realm cultivators  rushed towards Yuanjue Valley from a thousand miles away.Ning Fan was preparing to leave but his gaze became cold and halted his departure.Many Wei cultivator detected the two Nascent Soul Realm escaping lights and flew towards Yuanjue Valley.They were both Nascent Soul Realm cultivators of the Rain Palace. The reason why they went to Yuanjue Valley was to inquire about the extortion.One of them had the appearance of an Old Scholar while the other one was a beautiful woman. Both of them were Early Nascent Soul Realm cultivators!The Old Scholar’s strong sound transmission that had the power of the Nascent Soul Realm reached them from a thousand Li away way before their escaping lights arrived.“Which ‘friend’ pretended to be Wei’s Nascent Soul Realm cultivator and caused trouble in Wei!”The voice had a hint of special intent hidden behind it, as if it was the autumn rain that was bound to come.The voice carried with it green sound wave that vibrate every hundred Li, causing the color to deepen and the Rain Intent to get stronger.After ten vibrations, that green sound wave exerted pressure on where Ning Fan stood. Immediately, the thousand zhang land around Ning Fan collapsed under the power of the sound wave that was imbued with Rain Intent.Some Gold Core Realm rogue cultivators who had recently joined Yuanjue Valley that stood behind Ning Fan felt slight suffocation and quickly backed away from the sound wave attack with expressions full of shock.Ning Fan’s gaze sharpened under this sound wave. This sound wave is undoubtedly a technique, one that imitates the great divine ability of the ancient cultivators — Spirit Speech. Whereas that Rain Intent was an imitation of the genuine Rain Divine Intent!But this Divine Intent is incomplete and illusory, and is by no means real. It does not have the Old Scholar’s comprehension imbued within it, and if compared to Ning Fan’s Divine Intent, it was just a mere imitation and worlds apart from the genuine one.Even so, Ning Fan was secretly surprised at the Rain Palace’s vast resources.Both the Old Scholar and the beautiful woman were undoubtedly Nascent Soul Realm cultivators from the Rain Palace. The  purpose of their visit must be regarding the extortion that he had committed.This sound wave had power but it should only be a test, a test to gauge my strength.Even if the Old Scholar only possessed a fake Divine Intent, but he still managed to increase its power via a magical technique. The average Early Nascent Soul Realmcultivators wouldn’t be able to receive it easily.The Rain Palace was the peacekeeper of the Rain World. They probably used a divine material called ‘Divine Intent Stone’ to cultivate fake Divine Intent on their subordinate cultivators. Only such material could allow a cultivator to inherit divine intent and mass produce strong fighters.The Rain Palace is a force not to be trifled with. Even the Old Scholar is as strong as the Black Corpse, a Peak-Early Nascent Soul Realm cultivator…But it was impossible to subdue Ning Fan with just the power of the sound wave attack alone.“Shatter!”Rain Intent flashed inside Ning Fan’s eyes as rain suddenly drizzled within a thousand zhang. Dark clouds quickly covered the sun and the skies in a hundred li, with the moon then appearing on the same sky and shining bright moonlight upon the land!When the moonlight imbued the rain with its power, the fake Rain Intent and the sound wave dispersed.Whereas the Old Scholar was shocked, not because his technique was broken, but because something else!“The Rain Divine Intent! The genuine Rain Divine Intent! Impossible! Only the divine messengers of the Rain Palace could grasp that Divine Intent, could he be an ally of the Rain Palace?!”Ning Fan’s qi suffused in the rain and made the beautiful woman’s expression change.This qi feels extremely familiar. It’s similar to the mysterious Nascent Soul Realm cultivator that battled the demoness half a month ago… Unquestionably! The beautiful woman was skilled in a secret technique which allowed her to identify qi!“Old Song, this person is the mysterious Nascent Soul Realm cultivator from the great battle half a month ago! I am a hundred percent sure!”“What?!” The Old Scholar’s expression became cold once more.Half a month ago, he had seen the ruins of a battle between Nascent Soul Realm experts and he had deduced that the defeated demoness was Demon Lieutenant Zhifeng.The Nine Folds Purple Tornadoes Technique and the Teleporting Flying Sword of Demon Lieutenant Zhifeng had given the Old Scholar a headache… But that mysterious Nascent Soul Realm cultivator was able to defeat Zhifeng in just a short amount of time… The Old Scholar thought, even if I can defeat Zhifeng, it would probably last longer than a hundred breaths and I would certainly be hurt in the process.If this person is the mysterious expert that had defeated Zhifeng, he is probably stronger than me…Who’s this person?!Zhou Ming, Zhou Ming… this name is very unfamiliar… Was there such a Nascent Soul Realm expert in the southeastern continent of the Rain World?Disclaimer: We have used the term ‘Spirit Speech’ for the moment taking inspiration from another novel wherein the power/skill is similar based on context.
