Chapter 494: Ancient Demon(1/2)
Ancient demons refine their bodies, ancient demons cultivate their thoughts, and ancient gods cultivate their laws.
Ning Fan could guess that the realm of the ancient demon must be closely related to the strength of the spiritual mind, but he did not know the specific name of the realm.
One by one, the demon cultivators from Sikong Island fled into the sky and looked at Ning Fan standing on the bow of the silver boat. They did not dare to show their anger and were extremely frightened.
The look he looked at Mingque was extremely respectful.
In particular, one of the dark-skinned young men looked at Mingque with even more respect and respect from the bottom of his heart.
The young man's bone age was only fifteen, and his cultivation was only at the tenth level of Pulse Channeling. But because he was a feathered demon, he had wings on his back, so he could fly and came to meet the bright sparrow.
But he flew at the farthest position among the crowd, obviously because of his low status, he was not qualified to worship Mingque at close range.
Ning Fan glanced at the thousands of demon cultivators on the demon island. When he glanced at the boy, he paid attention for a moment. This boy gave Ning Fan a strange feeling, but he couldn't tell what it was.
"Welcome to the island owner, the high priest has returned! I wonder why the island owner is traveling with Master Ming and others?"
Several older Demon Island masters walked out of the crowd and asked Mingque cautiously. Ning Fan had such a vicious reputation that they would not be reassured unless he asked him about his purpose.
"Venerable Ming is the elder brother of the island owner, and he is a powerful fifth-level bakery master. For the sake of the island owner's face, he will never harm any plant or tree on Sikong Island. You can rest assured, there is no need to be so afraid.
his."
Mingque's words clearly reached the ears of countless Demonic Island cultivators. When they heard that Ning Fan was not an enemy, but Mingque's brother, all the Demonic Island cultivators' hearts dropped, and they were all very happy.
"It turns out that Venerable Ming is the elder brother of the island owner, a friend rather than an enemy... Haha. That's good, that's good."
Yes, that's good. If Ning Fan were an enemy rather than a friend, there might be a bloodbath on Sikong Island, and no one would be able to escape alive on the island.
Who is Ning Fan? He is a ruthless person who can suppress even the Youhai Demon Clan. Naturally, a mere Sikong Demon Island would never dare to provoke Ning Fan.
Each Demon Island monk breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time looked at Ning Fan with even more respect.
Seeing that the monks from Demon Island were so respectful to Ning Fan, Mingque nodded with satisfaction and then gave instructions to the old man named Qu behind him.
"Grandpa Qu, the owner of this island will give you ten days to prepare all the items needed for the 'ancestral sacrifice'. After ten days, the owner of this island will formally accept the power of inheritance through the ancestor sacrifice ceremony. There must be no mistake." She said in a childish tone.
His words were somewhat majestic.
"Ten days? Yes!" The old man named Qu did not dare to neglect and immediately ordered people to prepare the sacrificial objects.
When all the demon cultivators on Demon Island heard that Ming Que was about to receive Sikong's inheritance, they immediately cheered and cheered.
Letting Mingque accept Sikong's inheritance is the expectation of all demon cultivators on Demon Island. In the past, the old man named Qu did not dare to let Mingque accept the inheritance because Mingque was still weak and worried that she would not be able to withstand the power of the inheritance.
However, now that Ming Que has protector Ning Fan by his side, the success rate of accepting the inheritance is naturally very high, and there is no need to worry about many safety issues.
Only the dark-skinned boy, when he heard that Ming Que wanted to accept Sikong's inheritance, he immediately stopped him loudly, "No! You can't accept the inheritance!"
"How brave! You, a demon slave guarding the statue of the princess, dare to be rude to the island owner. What crime should you be punished for!"
As soon as he heard the young man's arrogance, he immediately got a lot of golden elixirs, and the Nascent Soul master sternly reprimanded him.
"Okay, okay! A bunch of bad old men are bullying a young man. Are you ashamed? Let's all leave. I want some peace and quiet!"
Mingque gave an order casually, and immediately no one dared to reprimand the swarthy young man. The demon island monks dispersed one after another, and even the gods-formation slaves she had captured began to get busy. They began to prepare for the ancestor sacrifice ten days later.
The dark-skinned young man breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he had escaped. He looked at Mingque with gratitude and gritted his teeth, as if he wanted to tell Mingque something.
But Mingque didn't pay attention to the boy at all. He only had Ning Fan in his eyes, so he naturally ignored the boy's expression.
After dismissing all the bad old men, Mingque happily picked up Ning Fan and led Su Yan to visit Sikong Yao Island.
"Brother Pancake, would you like to play with Mingque on the island for a few days?" Mingque begged softly, with an innocent expression that showed no trace of the majesty he had given to the demon cultivators before.
Back then, Ming Que was just a simple little alchemy demon. Now, after being tempered by life and death in the Endless Sea, he has already learned how to distinguish people's hearts. After becoming the master of Sikong Island, he has accumulated the majesty of the island master, and also has a sinister personality.
But no matter what, in front of Ning Fan, she will always be the innocent and lively Dan Mo she was back then, and will not change.
"good."
Naturally, Ning Fan would not refuse Mingque's request, but when he left, he took a meaningful look at the dark-skinned young man and transmitted his message into the secret, telling him what to do.
When the young man heard Ning Fan's order, his expression immediately trembled. He was a little scared, but he nodded hastily, not daring to refuse Ning Fan's order.
Ning Fan, along with Mingque and Su Yan, spent two days playing on Sikong Yao Island.
During the two days, Ning Fan asked Ming Que many questions related to the ancient demon realm without hesitation, but he did not receive satisfactory answers.
There is nothing to be done about it. Mingque is completely confused about things like 'ancient demons' and 'ancient demons', and has no information at all.
Although there is a little ancient demon power in her body, she has no idea where this power comes from.
However, Mingque told Ning Fan that in her dreams, she had dreamed of a power similar to that of the ancient demon.
The acquisition of this kind of power seems to be closely related to the 'ancestral sacrifices' of the major demon clans. It is necessary to obtain some kind of 'demon blood mark' through ancestor sacrifices before one can truly gain power, but the specific method is unknown.
In fact, although Mingque has some ancient demon power in his body, he does not have the special demon blood mark, so he cannot be regarded as a true ancient demon.
Ancestral sacrifices are different from ordinary demon sacrifices. Special ancestral demon relics must be used to carry out the sacrifices.
This time, Mingque needs to perform an ancestral sacrifice to obtain Sicang's inherited power.
And the ancestral demon relic used in her ancestral sacrifice was the huge statue of the goddess.
Although he didn't figure out the name of the ancient demon's realm or the method of cultivation in the end, Ning Fan more or less figured out some things.
Ning Fan has Fu Li's demon blood. If he wants to return to his ancestors and become an ancient demon, he needs at least one relic left by his Fu Li ancestor. And through the ancestor sacrifice ceremony, he can obtain special powers similar to the demon ancestral talismans. Only then can he become a real ancient demon.
But it is a pity that the Fuli clan has been exterminated for a long time, and there is no fear that there will be no relics left by Fuli's ancestors in the world. Even if Ning Fan figures out how to become an ancient demon, he will not be able to cultivate into one.
After understanding this, Ning Fan stopped asking the ancient demon any more questions and simply spent two days playing with Mingque.
Two days later, at the strong request of the old man surnamed Qu, Mingque began to retreat for cultivation. In order to obtain the inheritance in the best condition, he could no longer play.
The place where she retreats for cultivation is a quiet cold pool, which has the miraculous effect of tempering demonic power.
Ning Fan was naturally not at ease when Mingque was soaking in the deep pool alone, so he asked Su Yan to accompany Mingque in the bath. By the way, he would take care of Mingque.
Ning Fan himself returned to the guest house on the Demon Island, also preparing for the inheritance of the ancient demon eight days later.
The guest house where he lives is not far from the deep pool where Ming Que and Su Yan are retreating. If anything happens to the two girls, Ning Fan can take care of them at any time.
This is a guest house built by hollowing out a huge tree. It is surrounded by Sikong Island's unique demon-spotted bamboo, which exudes the pure fragrance of bamboo leaves.
Outside the guest house, in the bamboo forest, stood a swarthy young man respectfully. He had been waiting for Ning Fan outside the guest house for two days. He was the young man who dissuaded Ming Que from accepting the inheritance.
When Ning Fan came to the guest house, the dark-skinned boy immediately trembled and looked a little frightened. He was obviously afraid of Ning Fan.
"Come on, Lord Ming." The young man made a plop. He knelt down on the ground and kowtowed several times to Ning Fan.
"Yes." Ning Fan casually flicked his sleeves, feeling the wind in his sleeves, and helped the young man up.
Two days ago, Ning Fan asked the young man to come to the guest house and wait for him. If he had anything to say, he would personally ask the young man.
When the young man heard that Ning Fan had something to ask, he didn't dare to neglect him. Although his cultivation level was low, he lived in the inner sea after all. He had heard many rumors about Ning Fan killing people in cold blood, and he was afraid of Ning Fan to the core.
He was originally one of the demon slaves guarding the statue of the princess, and could not leave his post without permission.
However, as soon as some deacons and elders heard that Ning Fan was going to summon him, they immediately dismissed him from all duties and ordered him to wait in the guest house here for Ning Fan to come, without assigning him any work.
There were even several demon island elders who told the young man that if Ning Fan asked him any questions, he must tell him everything. Even if he asked about the secrets of the demon island, there was no need to hide anything.
The young man was extremely uneasy. He didn't know what Ning Fan had called him to ask about.
When he thought that he was facing a big demon who was famous in the rain world, the young man became even more nervous and his legs were trembling a little.
"Don't be nervous, I have something to ask you, just answer it truthfully. If you answer truthfully, I will not hurt your life, but will give you some pills."
"Elixir?! Yes, senior, if you have something to say, please ask, I will tell you everything!" As soon as he heard that there was an elixir as a reward, the young man's eyes suddenly became intense, and his fear of Ning Fan faded a bit.
As a young and humble demon slave, if Ning Fan wanted to know something, he could just search his soul and destroy his memory without making unnecessary inquiries.
No matter what kind of harm a mere demon slave receives, no one will care about it. This is the cruel reality of the cultivation world.
It's like there are demon slaves disappearing mysteriously lately, but no one is seriously trying to track them down.
If other demon cultivators wanted to know something, they might just search the young man's soul and destroy his memory.
But Ning Fan was not so cruel, and even promised to reward the young man for answering questions. This made the young man excited, and he couldn't help but feel that Ning Fan was not as cold-blooded and ruthless as the outside world rumored.
"What's your surname? Do you have any position on Sikong Yao Island?"
"This junior's name is Lin Yu, and he is one of the demon slaves guarding the statue of the princess." Lin Yu said respectfully.
"Why did you dissuade Mingque from carrying out ancestral sacrifices that day? And..." Ning Fan paused, and his expression suddenly became sharp, "Where did the animal tooth pendant around your neck come from?"
Ning Fan paid some attention to the boy that day, but now after closer inspection, he discovered that there was a very weak trace of ancient demon power in the boy's body. This power was radiated from the animal tooth pendant around the boy's neck.
"This animal tooth was accidentally picked up by this junior. I made it into a pendant by myself. It is definitely not stolen. Senior, please trust me! As for the reason why this junior dissuaded the island owner from accepting the inheritance, it is just because...just because..." The young man saw Ning Fan
His eyes were sharp and he immediately became afraid.
"Just because of what!"
"Just because I was guarding the statue of the princess one night, I saw some 'unclean things' under the statue. It seemed to be some kind of monster. It swallowed several monster slaves and escaped into the statue.
The animal tooth on the pendant was picked up at that time and was left by the monster. The junior is convinced that there must be a monster alive in the statue. If the island owner rashly accepts the inheritance of the statue, it may be in danger.
..." The young man's tone was trembling, but his expression was sincere and showed no pretense.
"monster?"
Ning Fan frowned, could any monster survive among the beautiful statues?
