Ling Fan began to arrange some matters.
He had now refined a Myriad Law Origin Pill, his magical power reaching its peak, immensely powerful. He laid down a formidable formation for Guansheng Cliff. Under the manipulation of the Golden Core cultivators, even a Quasi-Saint would find it difficult to breach.
At the same time, Ling Fan was uneasy about Jiangnan City, which was located in the Tianshan Domain. He dispatched a late-stage Golden Core cultivator from the Lingtian Pavilion to specifically protect the Lan Family Fort in Jiangnan City.
He also refined many top-grade pills for the cultivators of Lingtian Pavilion, held lectures, and answered questions for them. Although his cultivation was only at the Condensing Core stage, he possessed the experience of a Heavenly Venerate. Teaching these Golden Core stage cultivators was a trivial matter for him.
These matters were extremely easy for Ling Fan, done effortlessly. However, for the cultivators of Lingtian Pavilion, they were immensely beneficial.
After completing these tasks, Ling Fan prepared to take the demon horse and travel to the Jiucang Domain to see if this Creation Saint Assembly was real or not.
The toad, this persistent fellow, finally wore down Ling Fan, who had no choice but to agree to let this shameless creature accompany him.
...
The Wuzhou had three great Sacred Domains: the Zhanmo Sacred Land, the Feixing Sacred Land, and the Shenfeng Sacred Land.
The territories ruled by these three Sacred Domains occupied more than half of Wuzhou.
Other regions were remote, wild, and backward in martial arts. Even with the abundant martial virtue of the three Sacred Domains, they were somewhat unable to extend their reach.
Currently, the ten domains, led by the Jiucang Domain, were all preparing for the Creation Saint Assembly, aiming to unify the ten domains and form a fourth Sacred Domain to contend with the other three Sacred Domains.
All the powerful cultivators, giants, and ambitious figures qualified to participate in this grand competition were sharpening their skills, coveting the sole Saint Seat.
Jiucang Domain.
Nine great rivers converged from all directions into the center of this domain, hence its name.
The central martial city was called Jiucang City.
Among them, after the nine great rivers converged, they did not form any large lakes or seas. Instead, they all flowed into a bottomless cavern. For countless years, no matter how much water had flowed in, it had not filled this bottomless cavern.
This cavern was the Jiucang Sacred Cave.
This domain was extremely vast, and its martial arts were very prosperous compared to the other nine domains. It was almost comparable to the territories governed by the three Sacred Domains.
This Creation Saint Assembly was initiated by the Jiucang Domain. The place where that naturally ownerless Saint Dao was nurtured was also within the Jiucang Domain. Therefore, the major forces and powerful cultivators of the Jiucang Domain had the highest acclaim and greatest hopes in this Creation Saint Assembly.
"Boss, the martial arts in this Jiucang Domain are so strong. As soon as we enter this place, we can feel the suppression of martial arts, making us uncomfortable all over."
At the border of the Jiucang Domain, a person, a horse, and a toad stopped in mid-air. Ma Shenglong shook its head and stomped its feet impatiently. As a peerless great demon, it was very sensitive to such powerful martial arts aura.
Although it did not restrict it, it still made it very uncomfortable, like the dampness in rainy weather that makes people feel clammy and their pores blocked by the moisture.
In contrast, if they were in the Yaozhou, the demon horse would be like a fish in water, even more powerful.
Ling Fan felt the aura of this land and nodded, "Indeed, it is filled with a rich martial arts aura. No wonder it can nurture a naturally born Saint Dao."
The toad opened its eyes and said, "Is it that magical? Why can't I feel it!"
"That's because you're too weak," the demon horse retorted mercilessly.
"Damn it! I'm also a great demon lord at the peak of the Golden Core stage now! Who the hell is weak?" the toad retorted.
"Heh heh, you little toad dare to speak to me like this now. It seems you're a bit arrogant and need to learn what reverence is," the demon horse sneered repeatedly.
Ling Fan ignored these two and flew straight ahead.
Seeing that Ling Fan did not intervene, the two great demons immediately started arguing, and a battle was imminent.
From behind, earth-shattering sounds erupted, and rolling demonic winds blew. In the fierce demonic energy storm, two terrifying phantom images collided rapidly.
Not long after.
The demon horse proudly chased after them.
The toad, however, limped along. Its face bore a clear and distinct horseshoe print, its eyes were swollen into slits, and blood flowed from its nostrils. It hung its head dejectedly.
"Boss, look how cruel and ruthless Old Horse was! He stomped my handsome face like this."
The toad cried and complained to Ling Fan.
Ling Fan couldn't help but laugh at the toad's appearance.
At their speed, it took them about two days to traverse the edge of the Jiucang Domain and arrive at the most prosperous and powerful martial city, the place where the nine rivers converged, Jiucang City.
Jiucang City was built along the river. Nine great rivers flowed through it from various directions, finally pouring into the Jiucang Sacred Cave.
After Ling Fan and the others entered the city, the toad learned this information and its eyes lit up. "Boss, let's go and see that Jiucang Sacred Cave first. Wouldn't it be best if we could go in directly and take that Saint Dao!"
The demon horse sneered, "Little toad, do you think you're very clever? If that Saint Dao were so easy to obtain, someone would have taken it long ago. It wouldn't be waiting for you!"
The toad said, "That's not necessarily true! If others can't take it, it's because they lack ability. What kind of person is our boss? Can others compare?"
"Tch, you little toad, your strength is not much, but you're good at flattering."
The demon horse sneered.
Ling Fan also wanted to see the legendary Jiucang Sacred Cave. So, on a river, he rented a pleasure boat and drifted downstream towards the Jiucang Sacred Cave.
The further the pleasure boat went, the faster the current became. Soon, water mist filled the air ahead, and a rumbling sound, like ten thousand horses galloping, could be heard.
The surging river water turned sharply at the cavern, forming a waterfall thousands of feet high, cascading down with magnificent momentum and grandeur.
At the entrance of the waterfall ahead, many pleasure boats were moored. Clearly, they were also here to see the Jiucang Sacred Cave, just like Ling Fan and his companions.
The boatman stopped the pleasure boat at the entrance of the waterfall, refusing to go any further, fearing they would fall into this bottomless, strange cave.
Ling Fan walked to the bow and opened his Heavenly Demon Eyes. He saw a huge cavern ahead, bottomless. The waters of the nine rivers poured in from all directions and disappeared without a trace. Such a massive amount of river water seemed to evaporate into thin air.
The huge cavern was like a terrifying monster, opening its blood-red mouth, ready to devour people.
The demon horse said, "It's truly magnificent. The waters of these nine rivers are so vast and surging. Over the years, even a great ocean would have been filled, yet it cannot fill a cavern. Could it be that this cavern connects to other voids! Boss, can you discern the secret of this cavern?"
The demon horse asked for advice.
The mark of the Heavenly Demon Eyes in Ling Fan's eyes disappeared, and he shook his head, "I can't see anything for now. We need to go inside to know the mystery of the Jiucang Sacred Cave."
"Then we can only wait for the Creation Saint Assembly to be held," the demon horse said.
Ling Fan nodded lightly and was about to ask the boatman to turn back when a arrogant voice suddenly came from a pleasure boat next to them.
"Stop! Your mount is indeed extraordinary and divine. This young master likes it. I want it, name your price."
