Chapter 1295: Chapter 1295: Ten Suns Over the Bright Firmament, Fish Beginning Moon End
The identity of the Divine Crow involves ancient secrets. Although Ning Fan has some guesses, he does not intend to probe further.
However, the Dao methods circulating around the Divine Crow intrigued Ning Fan.
Is the unpredictability of Yin and Yang the so-called divine...
Those few words hide a sharp insight, as if they contain a powerful divine skill.
What’s more peculiar is that upon hearing these words, Ning Fan’s Yin Yang Transformation, Chaos Ring Art, Black Demon Technique, Liangyi Technique, and others all began to resonate mysteriously.
"Is there some kind of causality between the techniques I cultivate and the unpredictability of Yin and Yang here..."
"If only the boat of consciousness could stop here for a moment, allowing me to comprehend a bit," Ning Fan pondered in his heart.
Yet he could not say it out loud, for this consciousness realm was filled with endless unspeakables, and only a Reverse Saint could speak freely here.
Strangely, even without Ning Fan speaking, the boat of consciousness understood Ning Fan’s intention and truly stopped here, going no further.
...
"Oh? He’s actually stopped before the ’Yin Yang Unpredictable’?"
"Ahead is the ’Ten Suns of the Bright Dome,’ behind is the ’Fish Beginning Moon End,’ both are branches of the Reverse King Chi Guo Technique, but he chose the Yin Yang Unpredictable..."
While secretly sensing the changes in the consciousness realm, Nanke the Old Immortal was somewhat surprised.
This is the Enlightenment Tree Consciousness Realm. Anyone who consumes the Enlightenment Tea or Fruit has the chance to connect with the consciousness of the Enlightenment Tree, but not everyone has the qualification to enter the Reverse Realm and comprehend!
The Enlightenment Tree’s Consciousness Realm, from inside out, is divided into the ’Nine Reversed Realms,’ ’Eight Hundred Withered Realms,’ and ’One Hundred and Eight Thousand Path Realms.’
Among them, only with the permission of the Enlightenment Tree Ancestor can one connect consciousness to the Reverse Realm and Withered Realm, for they hold the Three World’s most forbidden secrets within.
In terms of the Path Realm, any Enlightenment Tree in the world can grant entry.
The average person, after consuming the Enlightenment Tea Fruit, will connect their consciousness primarily with the Path Realm.
Ning Fan was different, as he was specially permitted by Nanke to connect directly to the deepest part of the Reverse Realm.
"Is it because he saw some sort of cause and effect from the Nether Dust Divine Art that he paused here..."
"So be it. Although my master’s divine art aligns well with him, since the Nether Dust Divine Art was once recorded by Liangyi, it makes sense for him, as Liangyi’s disciple, to be interested in Yin Yang Unpredictable."
"You can only stop at one place per entry; that is the rule. Fortunately, this consciousness realm will have more chances to enter in the future, and one day he will encounter my master’s divine art..."
...
Ning Fan’s consciousness comprehended the various mysteries of the Yin Yang Unpredictable in this place.
As the insight deepened, emotions of desolation, sorrow, anger, and killing intent surged within Ning Fan’s mind. However, these were not Ning Fan’s personal emotions; they were the emotions of the Divine Crow projected onto Ning Fan.
But these emotions were not Ning Fan’s focus. With his cultivation, he could not glimpse the source of the Divine Crow’s emotions nor observe those unrecorded ancient causes and effects.
Moreover, he was not particularly interested in these great secrets.
So he bypassed the emotions of the Divine Crow and began observing other causes and effects that concerned him.
Countless fragments of cause and effect appeared before him,
ignoring the irrelevant parts.
The related parts were given focused observation.
...
In one scene of cause and effect.
"Second Divine King, may you calm your anger and find peace..." Nanke the Old Immortal said as such.
...
Another scene of cause and effect.
"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step; to reach high one must begin low. The unpredictability of Yin and Yang is difficult to hold like the sun and as hard to understand as darkness. Without the guidance of Senior Liangyi, it would be hard to glimpse its essence in a lifetime. The great path is too long, this life too short..." the Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor lamented.
Did the Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor also connect to this consciousness realm at some point...
And did he seek the guidance of Liangyi Saint about the Dao methods in this place...
...
"Is this the record of your esteemed past? To hide the Ancient Country Divine Skill in the consciousness realm, only those with fate can behold it. That I can see it..." a Dust Realm youth named Hui Shi was once here, astonished at the Divine Crow’s defiance of norms and ascension to the sky.
...
"Yin Yang Unpredictable can testify to the divine... But if becoming a god costs me the loss of my spirit platform and eternal solitude of the Oblique Moon Three Stars, then I would rather not take this Nikong Road..." said a young man in purple, not yet known as Zidou.
Nikong...
Did Master Zidou once give up the path to godhood here?
...
"Is Yin Yang Unpredictable called divine? I don’t understand, but not understanding is appealing; using it to show off must be very impressive! It’s decided! I’ll secretly... learn this person’s Dao method! After all, power comes and goes, but being impressive is a lifetime affair!" The not-yet-saint Liangyi revealed a smile like a chrysanthemum.
And ultimately, relying on the methods secretly recorded here, he established the Liangyi Sect and created a series of divine technique secrets like the Taiji Genesis and Termination Realm.
...
So that’s how it is, no wonder I’m so concerned about the Yin Yang Unpredictable in this place...
It’s not that this Divine Crow’s Daoist thought moved me, but the underlying cause is all these various causes and effects?
The Liangyi Saint secretly recorded the Divine Crow’s Dao methods, which eventually led to the Liangyi inheritance, after which the Black Evil and White Evil heritages flowed into the Dreamland Realm.
The Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor, having benefited greatly from the Liangyi Saint’s guidance, created the Yin Yang Transformation, Chaos Ring Art, etc., all of which are linked to this place.
The path I cultivate can be said to originate from here!
Or perhaps, all Dao methods in the world once originated from here, and to the Great Dao, this Divine Crow is qualified to be called an ancestor.
"In the Taiji Genesis and Termination Realm, the Life Realm can drastically enhance power, the Termination Realm can achieve eternal existence, and the fusion of life and termination can reach the ultimate of cultivation—the so-called ultimate, could it possibly be the four words Yin Yang Unpredictable..." Ning Fan mused.
Yin Yang Unpredictable, what does it mean to be Yin Yang Unpredictable...
Under the immense medicinal power of the high-grade Enlightenment Tea Fruit, Ning Fan, suddenly enlightened, understood the scene of the Divine Crow gazing down upon the galaxy.
Was the Divine Crow really looking at starlight?
No, that’s not right. To its eyes, a star is no longer a star, the world is no longer a world!
It perceives the essence of the Dao!
Boom!
It was as if a great bell sounded directly next to Ning Fan’s ear, abruptly halting his insights and transforming them into a moment of sudden enlightenment.
So in the consciousness within the realm, Ning Fan’s eyes suddenly snapped open.
For a moment, the world before his eyes appeared entirely different: No longer were all things with form, nor did any vibrant colors remain.
The world was reduced to black and white, only for the white to vanish, consumed entirely by black, like the entire world was plunged into an eternal night at that moment.
The next moment, the world collapsed into a dark plane, like a pitch-black screen.
Suddenly, the screen lit up, and thus the structures and essences of all things in the universe transformed into lines of text and data on the screen. He stood outside the screen, observing the world, feeling that everything he saw was the vastness of the Dao, with profound and obscure runes and Dao traces everywhere, baffling and yet unable to suppress the shock within!
In his eyes, the Yin and Yang Qi occupied their respective positions, seemingly coexisting yet separate, but eventually, they calmed down.
Thus the unbelievable scene before him disappeared, and the forms of all things returned to normal in Ning Fan’s eyes.
Ning Fan closed his eyes, then opened them again, trying to comprehend the Divine Crow’s gaze, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t regain the strange state he was just in.
"What was the scene I just saw? Could it be the unpredictability of Yin and Yang..." Ning Fan mused to himself.
Could this be the world after opening one’s eyes that Daoist Wood Pine talked about?
No.
The world described by Daoist Wood Pine seemed more like a one-way switch between the realms of creation and annihilation, rather than the coexistence of creation and annihilation. I’ve entered the perspective of annihilation before when I activated the Chi Guo Unbeatable, and saw the unattainable world from there, but just now, I saw the co-existence of creation and annihilation in my eyes.
With a higher-dimensional gaze, overlooking the essence of all things in the world...
Is this wonderful state the ultimate realm of Yin-Yang Unpredictable?
"It’s still hard to comprehend..." Ning Fan sighed inwardly.
So he did not linger, instead silently reciting in his mind: The consciousness vessel can continue forward, there seems to be something else that catches my attention ahead.
But this time, the consciousness vessel did not respond to Ning Fan’s expectations.
"So that’s it, entering once can only stay in one place..." Ning Fan muttered, realizing the rules of this consciousness realm.
Indeed, there are rules in this consciousness realm.
But just now, when Ning Fan briefly entered the realm of Yin-Yang Unpredictable, he saw the essence of this consciousness realm...
At that time, he saw various runes, Dao traces, data, though hard to understand, he could remember some parts.
A few runes, with my third realm of Tianren, I can vaguely guess the meaning...
If I do this, then like that...
Thus Ning Fan extended his finger and began to scribble in the air of the consciousness realm, not even knowing what he was writing.
...
"Hmm? What is this child doing?" Nanke the Old Immortal did not know that Ning Fan had briefly entered the realm of Yin-Yang Unpredictable before.
So, in Nanke’s puzzled, bewildered, speculative, and shocked expression.
Finally, a mutation occurred.
A Divine King Rock Spear, brimming with a murderous aura, appeared out of nowhere in the consciousness realm and suddenly struck towards Ning Fan.
"Hmm? Wrote the wrong thing? Could it be triggered the alert mechanism of the consciousness realm..."
Ning Fan furrowed his brow, retreated swiftly, dodging the strike of the Rock Spear.
The Rock Spear missed its mark, instead hitting the consciousness realm, forming a spatial passage, and then it stopped attacking, slowly dissipating, as if it had completed its mission.
"Don’t know where this passage leads..."
"From this, it seems I didn’t write the wrong data; indeed, I have altered the rules here, causing this spatial passage to appear, leading to another area."
Regarding the essence of this consciousness realm, Ning Fan could only understand a limited amount, so he tried randomly, and unexpectedly succeeded?
"Then let’s use this spatial passage to explore other areas..." Ning Fan observed for a while, seeing no danger within the passage, so he leaped in, abandoning the consciousness vessel, starting to roam like a runaway beast...
...
"This boy... Could he have a way to rewrite the rules of the consciousness realm?" Nanke the Old Immortal was shocked.
This child isn’t a Reverse Saint, so how can he do what only the Divine King could do in the past!
Did he trigger a spatial passage by chance? Even if by chance, it’s too defying...
And the spatial passage this child just opened seems to lead to the Dao realm. In the Dao realm, there are many True Realm cultivators whose consciousness is connected inside, won’t this cause any trouble...
It should... not.
After all, those who enter the Dao realm have their consciousnesses transformed into Yin-Yang fish, all beings are fish, no one recognizes anyone else, and fighting holds little meaning...
Probably, perhaps, won’t cause trouble...
...
Almost at the same time Nanke the Old Immortal sensed something amiss.
Another long-suffering victim from Ning’s previous actions just wanted to laugh uproariously.
"Good, good, good, finally someone feels the pain I suffered! This boy is a troublemaker! You think he will follow your arrangements, but in reality, he only acts on instinct!"
"But to be fair, this boy really has some skills, even able to mess with the rules of the Enlightenment Tree Consciousness Realm; indeed, worthy of the trouble nurtured jointly by me and Zidou!"
Seeing Nanke the Old Immortal possibly getting trapped, Chiwei Demon Lord only felt schadenfreude, not showing any sympathy.
Blame it on Nanke’s previous evaluation of Chi Guo Unbeatable, which displeased Chiwei greatly.
How dare you act like Chi Guo Unbeatable is inferior to Taiji Genesis and Termination!
Could Chiwei tolerate this?
Disregarding Chi Guo Unbeatable equates to disregarding Purple Wei Dao. Sure, he himself also disregards Purple Wei, but it’s a bit much for others to do it!
Ultimately, though Purple Wei Daoism and Chiwei Daoism are different streams, they share the same source. If you disdain Purple Wei Daoism, in a roundabout way, doesn’t that also imply disdain for my Chiwei Daoism?
Therefore, Chiwei was only too happy to see Nanke’s predicament and couldn’t bother to give a warning.
...
Ning Fan was apparently unaware that he had stirred up "small" trouble once again.
After passing through the long spatial passage, the passage closed and returned to normal.
At this moment, Ning Fan appeared in a Dao realm filled entirely with a sea of fire, and upon arriving at this realm, his consciousness lightened again, and then his entire consciousness shape shifted from human to fish.
He became a Yin-Yang fish with a white body and black eyes.
Besides him, there were three other Yin-Yang fish in this fiery Dao realm, contemplating.
Upon seeing a new fish appear, the three fish glanced over; seeing Ning Fan was only the size of an Immortal King fish, they immediately lost interest, no longer paying attention to Ning Fan, and continued to contemplate the Dao of fire in this realm.
"Even we Immortal Emperors find it hard to comprehend, yet this mere Immortal King fish thinks it can grasp the profound method of the Pure Realm Fire Lotus here, truly overestimating oneself." The three Immortal Emperor Yin-Yang fish thought to themselves.
Once transformed into fish in this place, none recognise each other. Upon entering the consciousness realm Dao realm area, no matter if you are a Saint, the mighty unknown force would assimilate you into the shape of a Yin-Yang fish.
Once transformed into a Yin-Yang fish, one’s existence is hidden, no one knows who others are.
The Dao realm is equally filled with unspeakable entities, making it difficult for the fish to communicate.
Occasionally, Yin-Yang fish might attack each other. But even if some fish are killed, only a small portion of consciousness is lost, without causing severe damage, making it hard to know the attacker, leaving no path for revenge.
Ning Fan had no intention to engage in conflicts with strangers... strange fish.
Evidently, the three Immortal Emperor fish in the distance also had little interest in fighting with Ning Fan. As long as Ning Fan doesn’t cause trouble, why waste precious Enlightenment time on pointless matters? You should know that most people feed on low-grade or mid-grade Enlightenment Fruits, with weak effects, even managing to connect to the consciousness realm, it’s hard to stay here for long.
A moment of enlightenment is worth a moment of gold!
The remaining Enlightenment duration of the three Immortal Emperor Fish isn’t that much, the most having only a few hours left.
Ning Fan, however, was different. The Enlightenment Tea Fruit he consumed was of extremely high grade and in large quantities, currently with a remaining duration of four hundred and thirty days.
Unfortunately, Ning Fan had to guard the Northern Barbarians Kingdom in three days to fight the next wave of Immeasurable Tribulation Spirits, and couldn’t stay here for too long, making it somewhat a waste of the Enlightenment duration.
"This realm is abundant with fire elements and retains some kind of Immortal Emperor Divine Ability, but it isn’t the focus of my current comprehension. Time is tight, I can’t waste too much on this. Senior Nanke wanted me to connect to the consciousness realm, probably to help me cultivate the Taiji Genesis and Termination Realm, can’t forget the main task..."
Ning Fan didn’t plan to stay long in this Dao Realm.
So, with a thought, he grew two fins on the sides of his fish body, using them as hands, and began scribbling randomly in the air.
With previous experience, this time when Ning Fan altered the rules, he didn’t change them too drastically.
This time, instead of a Divine King Rock Spear descending above him, a transport vortex suddenly appeared, pulling him inside before disappearing...
"Hiss! What’s with that Immortal King Fish! It can actually teleport freely within the Dao Realm! Could it be holding the Holy Sect Command Token? But isn’t this token only held by a few Desolate Saints? Could this fish actually be a Desolate Saint!" The three Immortal Emperor Fish were both shocked and terrified!
It’s fortunate we didn’t do anything disrespectful to this Desolate Saint Fish just now, otherwise...
Uh, it seems like it wouldn’t have been a big deal anyway, even if killed by this Desolate Saint Fish, it’s just a return to consciousness with a lost precious Enlightenment opportunity.
Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid...
...
After a transportation, Ning Fan Fish arrived at a water-abundant world.
There were six Immortal Emperor Fish and two Immortal King Fish comprehending here.
The arrival of Ning Fan did not draw much attention, but when Ning Fan was dissatisfied with this Dao Realm and chose to teleport away, all the fish found it hard to remain calm.
"What’s the situation! A dignified Desolate Saint Fish, why would it come to a Middle Thousand Dao Realm for enlightenment! Probably went to the wrong place, right? Just like that, it’s teleported away?"
...
One teleportation after another, Ning Fan went through many Dao Realms, startling many poor little fish.
In the Enlightenment Tree Consciousness Realm, there are 108,000 Dao Realms, most being Small and Middle Thousand Dao Realms, with very few Grand Thousand Dao Realms.
Ning Fan passed through over a thousand Dao Realms but only encountered three Grand Thousand Dao Realms, and the Dao methods in these realms were of no help to his cultivation of the Taiji Genesis and Termination Realm.
During the teleportations, he even entered repeat Dao Realms, clearly being random teleportations.
Yet there was no other choice, Ning Fan had limited understanding of the Enlightenment Tree Consciousness Realm, barely able to alter some rules, already reaching the limit of his abilities, unable to freely choose the Dao Realm he wanted to visit.
Even so, when Ning Fan realized the problem and revised the rules again, he made subtle changes, incorporating cause-and-effect data influences and weights into the random teleportations.
This instantly increased the chance of being teleported into relevant Dao Realms.
Two hours later, Ning Fan finally stumbled upon a world rich in Yin-Yang Qi!
This realm was just right for cultivating the prerequisite skill for the Taiji Genesis and Termination—Liangyi Four Symbols!
But what caught Ning Fan’s attention was the scenery of this realm, which felt familiar!
This was a Dao Realm filled with endless white fog, filled with endless Yin-Yang Qi, with hundreds of Yin-Yang Fish comprehending and cultivating, including even Initial Saint Fish.
The scenery made Ning Fan think of a painting!
The second of the Four Ancient Paintings, the Golden Sky Black Earth Painting!
The content of the Golden Sky Black Earth Painting, wasn’t it just a large blank canvas, with only two Yin-Yang Fish drawn?
It really does look similar.
Ning Fan initially thought this resemblance was just a coincidence, but when he observed the cause-and-effect, he was surprised to find that the ancestor of the Golden Talisman Palace had once connected consciousness to this Dao Realm!
The so-called Golden Sky Black Earth Painting was merely a depiction made by the ancestor of the Golden Talisman Palace after comprehending the Tao of this realm!
And when Ning Fan attempted to comprehend the Tao of this realm, an ancient voice, which could not be spoken of anyway, sounded in his consciousness, guiding him subtly.
"The unpredictability of Yin and Yang is called Immortal, integrating with my Immortal Spirit then harmonizing with light and dust."
?
This sentence seems...not quite right...
Ning Fan furrowed his brows on his fish head, pondering.
The Yin-Yang Qi in this Dao Realm was indeed abundant, but it always felt like...the divine skills inherited in this realm had issues, couldn’t be learned randomly...
Previously, hearing the Divine Crow speaking of the unpredictability of Yin and Yang as gods, Ning Fan’s Tao had a positive reaction.
But upon hearing this sentence, he felt a chilly illusion on his Tao, as if learning the Dao of this place would lead him into a huge trap.
"In that case, I can only refine Yin-Yang Qi in this realm, without learning any of the excess Divine Skills..." Ning Fan thought secretly.
Yet, other Yin-Yang Fish in this realm clearly lacked this judgment, still desperately comprehending the divine skills of this place.
After all, the inheritance here was the supreme ultimate learning of the Hongjun Holy Sect! It’s said that once learned, one could be taken under Hongjun Ancestor’s tutelage, directly becoming a second-generation disciple, with hopes of attaining the Great Dao!
"Another new fish trying its luck...if it’s an Immortal King Fish, probably can’t even hear the name of this skill..." Among the fish, only a few Third Order Quasi-Saint Fish glanced in Ning Fan’s direction before paying no more attention.
Ning Fan also paid no mind to other fish.
All fish were the same, varying only in size, nothing worth watching.
"Next, let’s try to practice Liangyi Four Symbols, but must not forget the time, spending too long in this realm..." Ning Fan mused.
Just about to refine the Yin-Yang Qi, another voice directly echoed in his mind, using a chat method that even the unspeakable couldn’t interfere with.
Ning Fan’s Divine Sense Chat Room, initialized!
"Master, so many fish here! Makes Black Evil very hungry..." Black Evil drooled helplessly.
She is Jiuli, a cat, and cats eating fish is the most fundamental law of heaven and earth. This realm is simply paradise for her!
Even the master’s scent becomes tempting!
So tempting that she wants a lick...
"Don’t daydream! Come to think of it, how did your consciousness slip in here even though it was clearly my consciousness connection?" Ning Fan was surprised.
"Black Evil doesn’t know, wherever the master goes, Black Evil follows, unknowingly arrived here..." Black Evil would never admit she deliberately followed, she simply had to take the initiative like Chi Yi because hesitation only leads to defeat!
"Looks like when I altered the rules, there were some misoperations..." Ning Fan quietly learned his lesson.
It must be noted that bringing others into the consciousness realm is against the rules of this realm, and once discovered by the ancestor of the Enlightenment Tree...
It seems there’s nothing much anyway.
After Black Evil’s mind hacked into this realm, her consciousness merged into Ning Fan’s consciousness, causing Ning Fan’s fish body to suddenly grow significantly plumper, and from its fish mouth, the sharp teeth of the Jiuli Clan bizarrely sprouted, completing a unique fusion transformation.
"Not just Black Evil, I also hacked in. You connected with the consciousness of the Enlightenment Tree, and I am connected to your consciousness. If you round it up a bit, me hacking into this realm makes sense." The Ant Lord also felt greedy for the Yin-Yang Qi of this realm.
Her residual soul was very weak, but with enough Yin-Yang Qi consumed...
Moreover, wasn’t it the supreme ultimate Tao of the great Hongjun Ancestor that’s inherited here! She felt very interested!
So, she willingly merged into Ning Fan’s consciousness, very enthusiastic and proactive.
Upon absorbing the residual soul of the Saint, Ning Fan’s fish body instantly became ten times fatter, and a faint aura of the Saint surrounded him, making him look formidable!
The few Quasi-Saint fish that previously underestimated Ning Fan were so startled by his aura that their faces changed, and they quickly swam away, afraid to cultivate near Ning Fan: if the concentration of Yin-Yang qi around them was reduced, they might get eaten by Ning Fan’s Saint Fish in a few bites, losing more than they gain!
Thus, they gave up the best spots nearby to Ning Fan.
Ning Fan: "It seems I’ve scared the other fish again. Oh well... Since both of you are here, don’t tell me Duowen’s consciousness snuck in too?"
Duowen: "Forgive me, Immortal Emperor, as a secondary Heaven-Opening Artifact, I somehow got strongly rejected by the Enlightenment Tree Consciousness Realm. This realm seems particularly averse to the entry of magical treasures, with the stronger the treasure, the greater the repulsion. This is probably to prevent Enlightenment Immortal Cultivators from wielding treasures to cause unnecessary destruction..."
Duowen was full of regret, as he also wanted to sneak into this realm to gorge on Yin-Yang qi! But why was he left out of such a good thing? Truly, good men weep!
Dust Immortal Yinji: "Master, master! I have also entered! My consciousness is too tiny, and while following your consciousness, sneaked in through the cracks..."
Alright, even Little Dust managed to sneak in, and her tiny consciousness integrated into Ning Fan’s body without causing any change to Ning Fan’s already large fish body.
Ning Fan: "That’s fine too, since you’ve come in, just eat more Yin-Yang qi and grow up quickly!"
Come to think of it, perhaps Senior Chiwei also wants to come in...
If his consciousness were to enter, my small fish body might not be able to hold him...
Chiwei: Don’t worry! I will not go! The mere Yin-Yang qi is useless to me, tasteless! Just being able to watch you fool around from afar... to see you cultivate seriously, is very satisfying for me. You’re doing quite well!
Ning Fan was taken aback.
He somehow felt that today’s Chiwei was acting strange, as if gloating but unclear about what he was amused with.
But he was too lazy to bother with it.
Thus, the silent and monotonous cultivation began.
The Dao begets One, One begets Two, Two begets Three, Three begets all things. All things carry Yin and embrace Yang, achieving harmony through Qi.
Yin-Yang is the fundamental concept for creating all things, and the Yin-Yang qi of this realm enhances most cultivation techniques and Divine Skills.
However, different people absorb Yin-Yang qi at different speeds.
The higher the compatibility and cultivation, the faster the refinement of Yin-Yang qi.
At this time, Ning Fan had fused with many consciousnesses, including the Ant Lord’s Saint-level consciousness; in terms of strength, he belonged to the top tier in this place. After all, there were only a few Initial Saint fishes, far away from him, without mutual interference.
And the techniques he cultivated, like Yin Yang Transformation, Chaos Ring Art, Black Demon Technique, Liangyi Technique, have a high compatibility with this realm’s Yin-Yang qi.
As a result, Ning Fan’s speed in absorbing Yin-Yang qi was comparable to that of the Nirvana Saint, truly startling.
Under normal circumstances, an Immortal King would need about 12 hours to absorb enough Yin-Yang qi to operate a single cycle within their body.
However, Ning Fan needed only 12 breaths of time!
Every 12 breaths, he could perform one cycle, refining a strand of Yin-Yang qi, even with the distribution among everyone, including the Ant Lord.
If it weren’t for the distribution... well, without the fusion of everyone’s consciousness, Ning Fan wouldn’t be absorbing this quickly, but rounding up, he still gained more.
And with the distribution, Ant Lord, the Black Evil Sect, and Little Dust all benefited greatly...
But Ning Fan felt his refining speed could further increase, so he decided to temporarily expand the chat room’s scale and included the Xuan Yin Treasure into the consciousness connection.
In an instant, the consciousness of tens of thousands of Cauldron Furnaces flooded in, making the chat room extremely lively with phrases like "Master defies the heavens" "Master, I miss you so much" "Master, it’s time to plow the fields" "Master, I want" appearing frequently, making the atmosphere quite discordant.
It wasn’t until the Ant Lord, as the Saint, intervened that the noisy women quieted down...
Though the Cauldron Furnaces were not powerful, they are numerous, and when tens of thousands of consciousnesses merged with Ning Fan’s consciousness, his fish body grew even fatter.
Fortunately, Nanke the Old Immortal turned a blind eye to this; if a normal person dared to cheat so blatantly, they would definitely be titled!
But why would Ning Fan’s women all be girl reincarnation shadows... Nanke thought Ning Fan’s cheating wasn’t completely unreasonable.
At this time, Duowen, still unaware that he was an outsider, continued to ponder any special methods to hack into this realm, feeling somewhat pitiable as he didn’t even realize where he lost...
After integrating with the Xuan Yin Treasure consciousness, Ning Fan’s speed of refining Yin-Yang qi increased again.
With just eight breaths, he could refine a unit of Yin-Yang qi!
Moreover, due to the numerous subordinate consciousnesses within, the primary consciousness didn’t even need to direct, as there was a continuous stream of Yin-Yang qi being refined, independently operating the cycle.
This was a bit excessive!
Letting the girls work while he lies down... Nanke the Old Immortal secretly watching, twitched the corners of his mouth, but he was helpless.
After all, Ning Fan didn’t force them; on the contrary, the girls willingly insisted on attaching themselves...
"Unfortunately, in the Unspeakable World, I cannot use the All Things Communication Technique. Otherwise, having a good chat with the Miss of the Consciousness Realm might further increase the refining speed..."
"If only I could modify the rules and lift the Unspeakable’s restrictions on me..." Ning Fan secretly calculated the possibility.
After thinking a bit, he realized that the scale of data to modify was too large. Considering his understanding of this consciousness realm, a slight mistake would easily backfire, not worth the loss.
Let’s just leave it for now.
...
Within the Consciousness Realm, many Yin-Yang fishes were stunned by the anomalies on Ning Fan: This fish clearly wasn’t seriously refining the Yin-Yang qi, yet the Yin-Yang within his body continued to increase at an astonishing rate. This cheating was too blatant!
"Who is this person, who can so blatantly defy the Enlightenment Consciousness Realm’s rules and cheat..." An Initial Saint Yin-Yang fish watched Ning Fan’s behavior in secret, reporting the matter to the consciousness realm through its mental link.
However, the consciousness realm made no response, leaving it puzzled.
"This fish seems to have the Initial Saint aura, but the aura is just from the Saint’s residual soul, merely a facade! Once this fish reaches the limit in refining Yin-Yang qi, I’ll swallow it whole and reap the benefits! I need ten thousand Yin-Yang qi, but I’ve only refined seven thousand and time is running short. If this fish refines three thousand, I’ll make my move to seize it..." A Third Order Quasi-Saint Yin-Yang fish nurtured devious thoughts.
"This fish is strange, but it’s unrelated to me. To me, the most important thing now is obtaining the flawless Saint Road. If I wish to bypass the group of rebellious Saints undisturbed, I can only tread the Immortal Spirit Path and gain the Ancestral Power Talisman’s insights... However, I have my own strategy; if I eliminate the flaws of the Daoist Methods here, filling the void with my own understanding, then even upon entering the Immortal Spirit, I can minimize the disadvantages..." A Yin-Yang fish on the verge of becoming a Saint glanced once in Ning Fan’s direction, then retracted its deep purple gaze.
It had more important matters to scheme, unwilling to bother with a façade-wielding, inexplicably cheating Immortal King fish.
Every Yin-Yang fish had its own thoughts, yet Ning Fan seemed detached and solely immersed in his enlightenment.
With the girls’ help in absorbing Yin-Yang qi, he only needed to transform the refined Yin-Yang qi with the Liangyi Four Symbols Technique...
One hour later, Ning Fan refined over 300 Yin-Yang qi.
Eight hours later, the number of Yin-Yang qi within Ning Fan reached 3000.
The further it went, the more proficient the girls became in refining Yin-Yang qi, each gradually improving their cultivation levels as well. Everyone was gaining benefits, extracting from this realm’s Dao gateways as much as they could.
Then suddenly, a fish shadow carrying the power of seven thousand Yin-Yang qi abruptly swam over, aiming to bite Ning Fan.
"Thank you for refining three thousand Yin-Yang qi, I’ll take it now!" This was a Third Order Quasi-Saint fish, who wanted to utter harsh words but was interfered by the Unspeakable, left speechless.
But Ning Fan understood his meaning.
Mere theft murder isn’t a big deal, it’s just for survival, nothing shameful...
Ning Fan didn’t blame the Quasi-Saint fish’s greed because... he too was eyeing the seven thousand Yin-Yang qi the fish had.
So he counter-swallowed, opening a deep abyssal mouth ten times the size of the other’s, consuming everything from this fish all at once.
"Thank you, stranger." Ning Fan thought to himself.
With the Yin-Yang qi in his body reaching ten thousand, his cultivation in the Twenty-Seven Yin-Yang also saw significant advancement.
At this moment, all eyes of the Yin-Yang fish in this realm were drawn to him, showing expressions of astonishment...
"This fish’s mouth actually grew the Nine-Tail Fox’s teeth..."
