"At that time, not only will we, the human race of the Nine Dragons Sea, face a calamity, but the other cultivation realms will as well.
I think this is very likely an important reason why the Tianshu Alliance was willing to reach a reconciliation with the Zi Yin clan before.
After all, if even Zhuang can see these astrological anomalies, there's no reason why the people of the Star Luo Palace couldn't predict them."
Hearing this, Ning Fa couldn't help but look at the Demon Lord with a shocked expression.
One reason was that he didn't expect the Demon Lord to be so proficient in divination, and the second was that he didn't expect the Sea Clan's troubles to be so serious.
The Demon Lord smiled and explained, "Ning, my friend, you also know that Zhuang was imprisoned for hundreds of years before. With my magic power sealed, I had plenty of time to study this divination technique, and I have achieved some small success."
Ning Fa nodded and couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "But how could the Sea Clan suddenly have such strength to set off a catastrophe in the entire human realm?"
After all, from what Ning Fa knew in the past, although the Sea Clan was distributed in many cultivation realms of the human realm, the strength of the strongest Nine Dragons Sea Sea Clan branch was only comparable to that of the Nine Dragons Sea human race.
The Demon Lord also looked solemn and slowly said, "According to Zhuang's speculation, it is very likely related to that mysterious Ancestral Sea."
Ning Fa couldn't help but furrow his brow.
If that was the case, it would be especially bad news for him.
At this moment, the Demon Lord looked into the distance with a solemn expression and suddenly said, "Ning, my friend, do you know what Zhuang's long-cherished wish is?"
Ning Fa pondered for a moment and replied, "Everyone knows that the Demon Lord's long-cherished wish should be to unify the Demon Sea Alliance and end its division."
The Demon Lord nodded, but sighed and said, "In fact, this is not my long-cherished wish, but my great-grandfather's.
Few people know that my great-grandfather was Tian Chu, the Demonic Lord, the last leader of the Demon Sea Alliance.
Back then, under the Tianshu Alliance's scheme, the Demon Sea Alliance was divided, and my great-grandfather was also betrayed by the Demonic Sect within the alliance. He was seriously injured and eventually died in depression.
This was his greatest regret and shame in his life, because the Demon Sea Alliance existed in name only in his hands.
His dying words were that he hoped that his descendants could inherit his legacy and reunite the Demon Sea Alliance.
And his last words were passed down to me from generation to generation, and I have also been determined to fulfill my great-grandfather's long-cherished wish since I was a child.
For this goal, I even did not hesitate to become a pawn in the hands of others.
But in the end, I realized that a pawn is just a pawn and cannot be put on the stage.
Even if I have made many efforts and have even come close to unifying the Demon Sea Alliance.
It's just Kyōka Suigetsu. In reality, this is just a contest on the chessboard between those Nascent Soul cultivators behind the scenes.
And the purpose of that Nascent Soul cultivator who controls my pawn behind the scenes is only to use my unified Demon Sea Alliance to force other Nascent Souls.
In the end, he got the promise of other Nascent Souls as he wished, and I, the pawn, was abandoned by him and even became a prisoner."
After hearing these words, Ning Fa couldn't help but look surprised, and his heart was filled with waves.
He had never heard of such secrets before.
It turned out that there was a Nascent Soul cultivator behind the Demon Lord supporting him, but that Nascent Soul's purpose was not to support him in unifying the Demon Sea Alliance.
He was just using him to get other Nascent Souls—most likely the Nascent Souls of the Tianshu Alliance—to agree to some conditions.
In the end, he got his wish, and the Demon Lord was abandoned.
This made Ning Fa feel a burst of shock, and it made him even more eager to advance to Nascent Soul.
After all, even a figure like the Demon Lord can only become a pawn in the hands of a Nascent Soul cultivator, who can be discarded at will. Therefore, it is difficult to speak of freedom without becoming a Nascent Soul.
Just then, the Demon Lord said something that surprised Ning Fa even more.
He turned around to look at Ning Fa with a solemn expression and said, "Ning, my friend, do you know that Zhuang could have left the Moluo Space long ago, but the reason why I stayed here for so many years is to wait for you."
Ning Fa was even more surprised.
His arrival in the Moluo Space through the Ancient Demon Altar was completely accidental. How could the Demon Lord know that he was coming here? Could it be that he divined it as well?
The Demon Lord looked into the distance with his hands behind his back and said slowly, "Zhuang has had many opportunities and adventures in his life. Among them, the most profound impact on me was the two transactions I made with that mysterious Heavenly Treasure Immortal Merchant in my early years.
One of the transactions is a key reason why I have such cultivation.
In the other transaction, I obtained a divination treasure from him, from which I obtained a hexagram about myself.
The hexagram shows that I will have two major calamities in my life.
One of them has already been fulfilled, that is, I was captured and imprisoned for hundreds of years, but I managed to save my life.
And this second calamity is even worse than the first.
The hexagram shows that I will be on the verge of death in this calamity, and it will happen when I advance to Nascent Soul.
Therefore, although I have been staying in the Moluo Space these years, using the pure demonic energy here to fully recover from my injuries, and I am qualified to attack Nascent Soul.
But I have never dared to act, because I have been waiting for someone who can help me break this calamity.
In fact, the fundamental reason why I learned divination is also to deal with this calamity of mine, that is, to find someone who can help me.
When I first met Ning, my friend, I already had a vague feeling in my heart that you might be one of the candidates, but I wasn't sure.
And in recent years, as my injuries have fully recovered, my divination skills have also improved.
In my several divinations, they all showed that I was about to wait for the person who could help me, and as a result, you came, Ning, my friend.
So there is no doubt that you are the one who can help me overcome the Nascent Soul calamity."
After the Demon Lord finished speaking, Ning Fa was once again shocked.
He hadn't expected the Demon Lord to have made two deals with the Heavenly Treasure Immortal Merchant.
Moreover, it seemed the Demon Lord's divination skills were extremely high, at least at the fourth level.
Coupled with his extremely high level in formations, it was no wonder the world held him in such high regard.
Was he truly the one who could help him overcome his tribulation?
At that moment, Ning Fa understood something, because in his previous conversations with the Demon Lord, he knew that the Demon Lord possessed a Hidden Thunder Spiritual Body.
So, his Transformation God tribulation might be related to his spiritual body. Therefore, it was understandable that he divined that he could help.
At this time, the Demon Lord smiled and said, "Zhuang will naturally not let Ning help for nothing. Zhuang can make a great oath with my heart demon.
As long as you can help me safely pass this Transformation God tribulation, Zhuang will owe you a great favor.
In the future, if you need anything, Zhuang will go through fire and water, even if there is a life-and-death crisis."
Hearing this, Ning Fa couldn't help but reveal a thoughtful expression.
The Demon Lord's favor was very heavy, especially considering that once he advanced to the Transformation God stage, he would be far from comparable to ordinary Transformation God cultivators.
Moreover, Ning Fa had always admired the Demon Lord's life deeds, so helping him with this favor wouldn't hurt.
Thinking of this, Ning Fa said, "Demon Lord, you are too kind. Since Ning can help, I will naturally not be stingy.
I wonder when the Demon Lord plans to start attacking the Transformation God stage. If it is in the near future, it may be a bit troublesome, because I need to go to a certain place immediately."
Hearing Ning Fa's agreement, the Demon Lord immediately smiled, "Then Zhuang will thank you in advance, Ning.
Don't worry, Zhuang is not going to attack the Transformation God stage now.
Before that, I still need to make some preparations, and I also need to deal with some unfinished matters, which may take another ten or twenty years."
Hearing this, Ning Fa felt a slight relief in his heart. This time was very generous.
Next, the two agreed on some contact details, and Ning Fa couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
He didn't expect that this time, just after arriving at the Nine Dragons Sea, he had reached agreements with both of them.
One to help recover from his injuries, and the other to help advance to the Transformation God stage. He had truly become a key person.
Three days later, the two finally flew out of the Sky Furnace Fire Marsh, and an endless blue sea reappeared in front of them.
"Ning, then let's say goodbye here. Zhuang is going to the Wuye Sea." The Demon Lord smiled gently.
Ning Fa cupped his hands in salute and flew away from the boat.
The Demon Lord also smiled at him, and the wooden boat disappeared into the sky in a flash.
Ning Fa didn't waste any time and immediately found a deserted island nearby.
He formed strange hand seals with both hands, and his whole body was immediately surrounded by a layer of hazy white light, making it impossible to see his figure.
After a long time, the phenomenon disappeared, and Ning Fa's face was pale, and his divine soul was greatly depleted.
He had just used a secret technique to forcibly contact Hei Yu. Fortunately, he finally got in touch with him and obtained some key information.
First of all, regarding the problem of that teleportation array, it was indeed Wen Xiuxin who was behind it.
She suddenly activated the hidden Profound Fire Sect restriction there, trapping Hei Yu and others. Then, this woman directly destroyed the teleportation array.
Moreover, for some reason, the God-Banning Token that Ning Fa gave to Meng Ruoqi didn't seem to have much effect on her.
Just when everyone's situation was critical, Zhu Lingyun suddenly woke up. She cracked the restriction and killed Wen Xiuxin.
Ning Fa couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, and he was also filled with lingering fear. He was still careless and almost caused a catastrophe. Fortunately, there were no major problems, and Zhu Lingyun even woke up because of it.
"Qianmo Sea..."
Ning Fa murmured this name, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face.
After Hei Yu's investigation, these people were in this special sea area called Qianmo Sea.
The surrounding sea area had a special environment, and they did not dare to venture in rashly.
In addition, although Zhu Lingyun had awakened, her condition was not good because she had forcibly killed Wen Xiuxin. Therefore, everyone was lurking on another nearby island.
Ning Fa was no stranger to the Qianmo Sea.
It did not belong to the nine sea areas of the Nine Dragons Sea, and should be considered a desolate sea, located in the northwest of the Nine Dragons Sea.
Its special feature was that this sea area seemed to have been a battlefield for ancient cultivators.
There were still many natural dangers, strange phenomena, and powerful restrictions left behind. Even for Nascent Soul cultivators, it was very dangerous to enter its depths.
Moreover, due to the previous battles between experts, the local spiritual energy environment had been greatly damaged.
Either it was a spirit-depleted land, without any spiritual energy, or the spiritual energy was extremely violent, making it impossible to absorb and refine. For cultivators, it was like a desert, so it was also called the Qianmo Sea.
There were no special spiritual objects produced in it, so it was generally ignored.
He didn't expect the Profound Fire Sect to set up the other end of the teleportation array in the Qianmo Sea, which was really unexpected.
