Ning Fa was already meeting with Luo Feixuan in a pavilion in Sky Citadel City.
"Junior Sister Luo, I wonder what important matter you have for me?"
Ning Fa smiled faintly, a strange feeling stirring in his heart as he looked at the woman's unreal beauty.
Other Nascent Soul cultivators, like Ming Guang, couldn't help but be somewhat restrained and in awe when they saw him, but Luo Feixuan showed none of that.
He also felt instinctively that the matter she wanted to discuss with him today was likely extraordinary, otherwise, he wouldn't have wasted his time.
Sure enough, the words she spoke as soon as she opened her mouth shocked him.
"Senior Brother Ning, have you met anyone from Brilliant Moon Palace before?"
Ning Fa's gaze suddenly sharpened as he stared intently at her. "What makes you say that, Junior Sister?"
Luo Feixuan didn't answer, but smiled faintly, then tapped her forehead with a finger.
A hazy, moon-white light began to emanate slowly from her body, and a special aura spread out.
Ning Fa's expression flickered. He was extremely familiar with this aura; it was the unique Soul Mark fluctuation of the Moon God Art.
What surprised him even more was that, judging from this fluctuation, her cultivation realm of the Moon God Art was definitely extremely high.
At that moment, the air in front of Luo Feixuan rippled like water, and a silver full moon floated out, a complete Moon God Heart.
Ning Fa stood up abruptly, his eyes fixed on the full moon, unable to hide his shock.
Luo Feixuan's Moon God Heart was crystal clear, like a solid object, giving people a sense of indestructibility. When he probed it with his divine sense, it felt like hitting a giant mountain.
This was clearly the Moon Soul Crystal Core, the second stage of the Moon God Heart, a realm that even Ning Fa hadn't reached yet.
He had been planning to reach this realm after absorbing and refining the Soul Nurturing Divine Spring.
But Luo Feixuan, who had only formed her Nascent Soul a few years ago, had not only cultivated the Moon God Art, but her Moon God Heart had already reached this stage. How could Ning Fa not be incredibly surprised!
Just then, Ning Fa's expression suddenly changed, feeling something in his Storage Ring vibrating wildly.
As if realizing something, Ning Fa suddenly looked up at Luo Feixuan, his face filled with disbelief.
Then, a flash of spiritual light appeared in front of him, revealing a white brocade box with several Barrier Talismans affixed to it.
The brocade box, along with the Talismans on it, was shaking non-stop, as if the thing inside was frantically trying to get out.
With a thought from Ning Fa, the Talismans flew off, and the lid of the box opened, revealing an ancient and exquisite Jade Hairpin.
The Jade Hairpin released a burst of spiritual light and flew out, swooping to Luo Feixuan and circling around her, as if extremely happy, showing great sentience.
"You are... Ancestor Zhuo Yue of Brilliant Moon Palace?"
Ning Fa finally reacted, blurting out in astonishment.
A hint of surprise appeared between Luo Feixuan's brows. She raised a slender hand, took the Jade Hairpin, and gently stroked it, a look of reminiscence in her beautiful eyes.
Then, she put away the Jade Hairpin and looked at Ning Fa with surprise. "My Suyu Hairpin is actually with you?"
After a moment of consideration, she continued, "I forgot that Senior Brother Ning also has another identity as the Fu Ling Hall Master.
Yan Yuan Daoist obtained this Suyu Hairpin when I fought him, and he was the Hall Master at the time. It seems he left this item in the hall, which is how you were able to obtain it."
Ning Fa looked at her, shaken.
At this moment, he finally confirmed that Luo Feixuan was indeed Moon Chasing Immortal, the Brilliant Moon Palace Ancestor who had fought Yan Yuan Daoist, forcing the once-great Yan Yuan Daoist to resort to the extremely dangerous method of reincarnation.
This also explained the peculiar phenomenon when Luo Feixuan formed her Nascent Soul in the Sky Furnace Fire Marsh, and why she had cultivated the Moon God Heart to such a profound level.
Because the cultivation of the Moon God Heart is known to have four major stages: Moon God Heart, Moon Soul Crystal Core, Lunar Nascent Soul Nurturing, and Immortal Moon Body.
The Immortal Moon Body stage has a very magical ability, which is to reincarnate with complete memories, living a second life.
"Could it be that you had already cultivated to the Immortal Moon Body stage, which is why you were able to reincarnate?" Ning Fa couldn't help but blurt out.
Hearing this, Luo Feixuan, who had been calm and composed, suddenly raised her eyebrows, and an aura of supreme majesty emanated from her.
She looked at Ning Fa in disbelief. "You even know about the Immortal Moon Body and its accompanying reincarnation ability?
Only the core disciples of our Brilliant Moon Palace are qualified to receive this kind of inheritance, and it is a Soul Mark inheritance, which cannot be passed on to others at all.
And you are definitely not a Brilliant Moon Palace disciple, so how did you find out?"
At this moment, Ning Fa finally calmed down from his shock.
"Ning Fa obtained the Moon God Art technique by chance, and the information about the Immortal Moon Body was also obtained from it.
As for how I obtained it, that is Ning Fa's secret, and I must ask for forgiveness for not being able to disclose it."
Even if Moon Chasing Immortal was powerful in the past, she has now reincarnated as Luo Feixuan, and is currently only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Even if she has cultivated to the Moon Soul Crystal Core stage, that alone is far from enough to make Ning Fa afraid.
As for how Luo Feixuan knew that he was the current Fu Ling Hall Master, that was not surprising, because this matter was no longer too confidential.
Luo Feixuan gave him a deep look, and did not dwell on this point, saying slowly:
"That's right, I am indeed Moon Chasing Immortal, the Spirit Transformation Ancestor of Brilliant Moon Palace ten thousand years ago, now reincarnated as Luo Feixuan.
I must thank you, Fellow Daoist, for your help in the Sky Furnace Fire Marsh, which allowed me to successfully advance to the Nascent Soul realm and restore all my memories. Therefore, I have no malice towards you."
After speaking, she continued to ask, "Then, Fellow Daoist Ning, can you answer my question now? Have you met any Brilliant Moon Palace cultivators before?"
After her identity was revealed, Luo Feixuan's address to Ning Fa naturally changed.
Ning Fa frowned slightly, and after a moment of thought, a figure immediately appeared in his mind.
This person was none other than Shen Cizhou of the Brilliant Moon Palace.
The last time Great Qin sent cultivators to Cangyuan for aid, he was the only one from the Brilliant Moon Palace.
Was Luo Feixuan referring to him? Why was she so eager to confirm this?
Seeing that Ning Fa didn't answer, Luo Feixuan said indifferently, "That person has tampered with you."
Hearing this, Ning Fa couldn't help but be shocked.
At this moment, Luo Feixuan pointed her jade hand at the Moon God Heart in front of her. Immediately, the round moon rippled with a circle of moon-white light, surging towards Ning Fa, stopping about ten feet away from him.
Startled, Ning Fa wanted to Teleportation away, but at that moment, the Moon God Heart in his body seemed to be stimulated, also throbbing and emitting a bright white light.
At the same time, Ning Fa suddenly noticed something was wrong. He discovered that the outermost layer of the white light emitted by his Moon God Heart had a faint black shadow.
When these black shadows appeared, Ning Fa also felt an unusual sensation, as if his soul was covered in dust.
Ning Fa's expression changed drastically in an instant. His Moon God Heart had actually been tampered with, and he hadn't noticed it at all.
Although it seemed that the strange black shadow only served as a Soul Mark, Ning Fa still couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
"Fellow Daoist Ning should have noticed something amiss, right?" Luo Feixuan said with a faint smile.
Ning Fa's expression was very unsightly. He took a deep breath and immediately said, "Not long ago, I did meet a core elder of the Brilliant Moon Palace named Shen Cizhou. It is said that he is a strong contender for the next Palace Master of the Brilliant Moon Palace."
"Shen Cizhou..." Luo Feixuan murmured this name, then nodded slightly.
"As expected, it was him. It's not much different from what I guessed before."
"Who exactly is he?" Ning Fa couldn't help but ask.
Now the situation was already very clear, it was Shen Cizhou who had tampered with him. Although it was a bit unbelievable, this person was the only possible candidate.
No wonder when he saw him before, Ning Fa felt that this person was unfathomable, and even he couldn't see through him.
A trace of solemnity also appeared between Luo Feixuan's brows.
"According to my guess, the current Shen Cizhou is very likely the reincarnation of Lord Liuchen from ten thousand years ago. He was also the Palace Master of the Brilliant Moon Palace in my previous life.
At that time, his Moon God Heart had also cultivated to the stage of Great Completion of Lunar Infant Nurturing, so it wouldn't be surprising if he barely reincarnated."
"Lord Liuchen?" Ning Fa was shocked when he heard this name.
This time seeing Luo Feixuan had really given him too many surprises.
If Shen Cizhou was really the reincarnation of this Nascent Soul cultivator, then his Moon God Heart must have reached a very high level. No wonder he was caught without even realizing it.
At this moment, Luo Feixuan's eyes flashed, and she suddenly asked, "Fellow Daoist Ning, since you obtained my Jade Hairpin, did you also obtain anything else from Yan Yuan Daoist?"
Ning Fa's heart stirred, and he instantly realized what Luo Feixuan was referring to, but he frowned, "Senior, please be more specific."
Luo Feixuan smiled, "The previous life is already in the past. Now I'm only at the Nascent Soul Realm, so it's better for us to interact as equals. As for what that is—"
Speaking of this, Luo Feixuan's eyes suddenly became sharp, and she said word by word, "That thing is the Primordial Realm Pearl."
"Primordial Realm Pearl?" Ning Fa looked puzzled, then shook his head.
"In fact, Yan Yuan Daoist didn't leave anything in the hall. This Jade Hairpin was also obtained by Ning under chance circumstances. There is nothing else besides this, let alone the Primordial Realm Pearl you mentioned."
Luo Feixuan stared at Ning Fa closely, then her expression suddenly became calm, "Since there isn't, then forget it.
But Fellow Daoist Ning, you do have another troublesome matter, because you have been targeted by Liuchen, and I'm afraid your future will be unpredictable.
At that time, your Moon God Heart is very likely to be directly devoured by him, even along with your soul."
Ning Fa's eyebrows furrowed immediately, then he shook his head and said, "Shen Cizhou is already dead. This is what I witnessed with my own eyes. As for what exactly happened, please forgive Ning for not being able to tell you."
Luo Feixuan was first surprised, then shook her head and smiled, "Just the fact that the Moon Coronet Mark on Fellow Daoist Ning's Moon God Heart is still there is enough to show that he is not dead, so he will find you sooner or later."
Hearing this, Ning Fa couldn't help but be skeptical.
At this moment, a look of reminiscence appeared in Luo Feixuan's beautiful eyes, and she slowly said, "In the previous life, Yan Yuan Daoist and I fought fiercely for that Primordial Realm Pearl, resulting in both of us being seriously injured.
Just when I was in seclusion in a secret place to heal my injuries, Liuchen suddenly arrived, wanting to devour my Moon God Heart.
At that time, I realized that Liuchen was no longer the original Liuchen.
In fact, his primordial spirit had been contaminated by that powerful Ancient Immortal—the Soul Fiend, and even broke through all the taboos of cultivators who practiced the Moon God Art, which was to devour the Moon God Heart of others.
And this behavior would attract a special curse, which would cause the person who acted to be burned to death in the boundless moon fire, and not enter reincarnation.
But perhaps because of the strange Soul Fiend contamination, Liuchen somehow broke through this taboo.
At that time, I realized why some elders in the palace had mysteriously fallen before, and I, the person with the highest cultivation in the palace besides him, was also coveted by him all along.
At that time, he finally found the opportunity, so he didn't hesitate to attack me, but he still underestimated my strength. In the end, I used a life-risking technique to perish together with him.
I didn't expect that now the two of us have been reincarnated, and it seems that his path of reincarnation is much smoother than mine.
Unlike me, who only recovered my memories when I advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, he should have known about the previous life very early, so he was able to enter the Brilliant Moon Palace early and hold a high position.
Moreover, judging from some of the information I had previously, the Brilliant Moon Palace has become much weaker in recent years, and high-level experts in the palace have fallen one after another, presumably due to his poisonous hands."
Ning Fa frowned deeply as he listened. This actually involved the legendary strongest Ancient Immortal.
And his name was Soul Fiend, which was also very appropriate. He could even contaminate the primordial spirit of a Soul Transformation cultivator who practiced the Moon God Art and whose soul was stronger than ordinary Soul Transformation cultivators, which showed how terrifying the Soul Fiend was.
Just then, something occurred to him, and he couldn't help but ask, "If that's the case, we were in a secret realm together before, and he had plenty of opportunities to attack me, so why didn't he? Why did he only plant this Moon Coronet Mark on me?"
Luo Feixuan's eyes flickered. "I think his ultimate goal is probably still me...
Because in my previous life, my Moon God Heart was already close to the Immortal Moon Body stage. Therefore, my Moon God Heart after reincarnation will be very special, and it will have an extraordinary influence on people like you who are just starting to cultivate the Moon God Art.
When I advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, my aura leaked out, and you happened to be nearby, so your Moon God Heart was contaminated with some of my aura. It's very likely that he noticed something because of this.
So, he wants to play the long game. When you meet me, he'll be able to find out my location."
After hearing this, Ning Fa couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. If that was really the case, then this Shen Cizhou was truly terrifying.
"You're telling me all this because—" Ning Fa suddenly said, already vaguely guessing Luo Feixuan's purpose in seeking him out.
Sure enough, the woman nodded. "That's right. I've told you so much to make you understand that this Shen Cizhou is our common enemy.
Although my cultivation strength in my previous life was not weaker than his, he has gained all the advantages in this life, obtaining all the resources in Brilliant Moon Palace. I'm afraid his strength is much stronger than mine.
If he really comes looking for me, I'm afraid I won't be his match alone, so I need the help of Fellow Daoist Ning.
With the two of us joining forces, we should have some power to contend with him.
Otherwise, once he devours me, I'm afraid his Moon God Heart will likely truly advance to the Immortal Moon Body. At that time, all of you who cultivate the Moon God Art will not be able to escape your doom."
As expected, Ning Fa thought to himself.
At this moment, a flash of lightning suddenly struck his mind, and an idea popped up:
Could the crisis that Fairy Yuanxing spoke of be from this Shen Cizhou, rather than those Transformation God cultivators?
It wasn't impossible. If that was the case, it would be easier to accept.
But if that was really the case, then his savior should be Luo Feixuan in front of him. Why did Fairy Yuanxing tell him to go to the Haoqiong Sea Area?
But no matter what, he still had to believe Fairy Yuanxing's words and had to go there immediately.
As for Luo Feixuan's proposal to join forces, Ning Fa only pondered for a moment before immediately saying, "Okay, I promise you.
But I have important matters to attend to right now and must go to the Haoqiong Sea Area immediately. You wait for me to return."
Luo Feixuan shook her head. "The situation is critical. It's best if I act with you from now on, no matter where you go.
Moreover, I also have a way to help you cultivate to the Moon Soul Crystal Core stage as soon as possible, so that you can better fight against him."
Ning Fa couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. This was a good thing.
But he still harbored a sense of vigilance in his heart. After all, you couldn't completely trust the words of this kind of reincarnated old monster.
At this moment, Luo Feixuan seemed to have thought of something and said again, "Oh, right. More than a decade ago, I happened to encounter that Heavenly Treasure Immortal Merchant and made a deal with him.
Unexpectedly, he asked me about your whereabouts, saying that he had a deal he wanted to do with you. If I saw you, he told me to pass it on to you.
And he will be in the Haoqiong Sea Area for the next hundred years. You can go see him.
After all, judging from the history of the Nine Dragons Sea, everyone who has traded with the Heavenly Treasure Immortal Merchant has gained no small benefits, and there are very few who are actively sought out by him. It seems your opportunity has come."
