"Are you ready?" The river demon gradually showed a serious look and asked solemnly.

"Yes." Ning Fan nodded, his eyes focused, and his aura was completely restrained at this moment, not letting out any trace of it.

His eyes revealed a will, ready to counter the will of the orb.

That will is very strong, almost obsessive.

The old river demon showed a hint of appreciation in his eyes, waved his hand, held up the Orb of Will, and made a secret with his fingers.

It was an orb of will that he spent hundreds of millions of years condensing, but he gave it to Ning Fan without hesitation, just because he liked it so much.

The orb was spinning in mid-air. When it turned tenth circle, it suddenly erupted like a volcano, bursting out with the power of will that shook the world.

The entire Heavenly Dao trembled violently because of that powerful will.

Under the control of the old river demon, that will pressed heavily on Ning Fan. For a moment, Ning Fan immediately felt like he was being suppressed by countless mountain peaks, almost suffocating!

Fortunately, this will was not malicious, only kind. It did not make Ning Fan's Qi and blood flow stagnant, but instead increased the speed of Ning Fan's Qi and blood flow by more than a thousand times.

Ning Fan's skin turned red and steam began to emit. His body was under a high load, but his eyes were always as clear as water.

It was only at this moment that Ning Fan was convinced that the old river demon really had some good intentions and was showing goodwill to him, so he looked at the old river demon with slightly less guarded eyes.

Opening his mouth and swallowing, Ning Fan directly swallowed several Life Immortal Dao Fruits on his knees into his belly to refine them, and then took out other Dao Fruits and refined them.

He took a lot of Life Immortal Dao Fruit from Shenxu Pavilion and left many to the little demon girl, there are still nearly 700.

Seven hundred Life Immortal Dao Fruits, even with the increase of Yin Yang Lock, it would take one or two years to absorb them all with Ning Fan refining them with all his strength.

Now, with the blessing of the will of the orb, Ning Fan's Qi and blood flow increased a thousand times, and it took only one day to refine all the Life Immortal Dao Fruits!

It's a pity. Maybe Ning Fan has taken too many Life Immortal Dao Fruits, and the effects of the Life Immortal Dao Fruits are getting worse towards the end.

When the last Life Immortal Dao Fruit is swallowed, the efficacy of the medicine is only one-tenth of the original...

For more than four days, there are few monks like Ning Fan who have eaten the Life Immortal Dao Fruit until it is almost useless...

Although Ning Fan is an ancient god with three orifices and has eight times the refining effect of ordinary people, after devouring all the Life Immortal Dao Fruit, his mana has only increased by 30%.

Ning Fan gave 10 of the True Crossing Dao Fruits to the little demon girl. There are still 48 left.

After giving up the Dao Fruit, Ning Fan gave 2 to the Little Demon Girl, one to the Bird God Son, and there were still 9 left.

Next, Ning Fan spent another two days ingesting all the Du Zhen and She Kong Dao Fruits, and then he slightly touched the bottleneck in the middle stage of Du Zhen.

If the Dao Fruit swallowed this time were converted into Dao Crystals, its price would definitely be over one trillion, and even the eternal monks would not be able to take it lightly.

The Dao Fruit worth trillions of Dao Crystals only allowed Ning Fan to touch the bottleneck of the middle stage of transcending the true state. The efficacy of this medicine was really worth its price, which made Ning Fan dare not compliment it.

It is rare for a true cultivator to be like Ning Fan, who can devour a large number of the Immortal Immortal Dao Fruit. Naturally, there are not many forces that have the ability to simply use the Dao Fruit and elixirs to cultivate powerful True Immortals in batches, which is simply a waste of resources.

For true immortals, the role of Dao fruits and elixirs is more to break through small bottlenecks, and secondarily to improve cultivation.

The main way for true immortals to improve their cultivation is not to swallow external objects. Instead, they sit cross-legged and meditate, absorbing the Tao power and spiritual energy between heaven and earth. They meditate carefully, comprehend the Tao from heaven, and enhance their inner Tao enlightenment.

That process must require thousands, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years of hard work, which is very time-consuming.

Therefore, among the Duzhen monks, there may be monks whose bones are hundreds of thousands of years old, but among the Shekong monks, there are very few monks whose bones are less than one million years old...

"For true immortals, the medicinal effect of Dao Fruit is a bit weak..."

Ning Fan sighed slightly, then raised his head and looked towards the old river demon and the Orb of Will.

For three days in a row, the old man River Demon has been manipulating the Orb of Will to help Ning Fan refine heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Now he is showing signs of fatigue. It is obvious that helping Ning Fan has taken a huge toll on him.

The size of the Will Orb is only three-quarters of its previous size, and a quarter of its power has been used up.

"How about it? After refining so many Dao Fruits, how sure are you of hitting the mid-term bottleneck of Duzhen?" The river demon laughed and asked.

"Less than 50%...a bit low..."

"Fifty percent is still low? You are worthy of being a monk who can build a real bridge. You really dare to say that... Do you still have Dao Fruit? If you still have it, I will continue to help you refine it and simply use up the power of this orb. Anyway, this

The orb was refined by me out of boredom when I was guarding the river. It is of little use to me, but it is of great use to you." The river demon said very boldly.

"The Dao Fruit on this junior's body has been used up, but there is something else, which is more potent than the previous Dao Fruit, and I just want to use the power of the orb's will to refine it."

After saying this, Ning Fan pinched the special finger technique, and a dark light flashed from his dantian, and a dark star fruit flew out.

"Hiss! It's actually the Dark Star Fruit unique to the Dark Yuan Sect! This thing is extremely rare in the fantasy world, and you actually own one!" The river demon's eyes immediately trembled, and when he looked at Ning Fan's expression, he became a little solemn.

"Dark Yuan Sect?" Ning Fan was slightly surprised. It was obviously the first time he heard this name.

"The Dark Yuan Sect is an immortal sect in the ancient immortal realm. It's not surprising that you don't know this sect... I didn't expect that you actually have the Dark Star Fruit. The Dark Star Fruit is not easy to refine... The power of this Orb of Will, I...

It can last for ten days at most. I wonder if ten days will be enough to help you refine this Dark Star Fruit..."

"Let's try it first!"

The river demon waved his hand, and the power of will in the orb increased again, pressing down on Ning Fan.

Ning Fan would not waste the pressure of his will. Without saying a word, he immediately swallowed the Dark Chen Fruit into his mouth again, refined it into his Dantian, and began to refine the fruit.

The process of refining the Dark Chen Fruit was obviously as difficult as the river demon expected.

It would take others at least thousands of years to refine a Dark Star Fruit. Although Ning Fan was extremely talented and had the Will Orb to help him, in the past ten days, he had only refined one-tenth of the Dark Star Fruit...

After ten days of consumption, the power of the Orb of Will was exhausted, turning into specks of lake light and dissipating.

"I thought that I would be able to refine at least one or two Dark Star Fruits this time, but it seems that my expectations were a bit high..." Ning Fan said with a bitter smile.

For ordinary monks, one Dark Star Fruit can improve the Taoist practice for 400,000 years. For Ning Fan, the three-aperture ancient god, one Dark Star Fruit can improve the Taoist practice for 3.2 million years.

One-tenth of the Dark Chen Fruit can improve the Taoist practice for 320,000 years.

At this moment, Ning Fan was fully confident of breaking through the bottleneck in the mid-term stage of Duzhen and crossing the second holding bridge.

He stood up slowly, cupped his fists towards the river demon and thanked him. "Thank you very much! Senior, I will repay you for your help today!"

Thanks, of course it was the river demon who helped him refine the Dao Fruit and the Dark Chen Fruit.

"Haha, I don't care about your repayment! But if one day, you can see through the truth of the dream world, I may really have a small matter, and I need your help... If that day comes, I will make a request. Little friend

But don't refuse..." the river demon said half-jokingly.

Ning Fan couldn't understand what the river demon meant, and he didn't understand what it meant to see through the truth of the dream world.

However, he wrote down the words of the river demon. If one day, he really sees through the truth of the dream world, he will naturally come to find the river demon, listen to the river demon's request, and try his best to help.

"Okay! Go to Duzhen Bridge quickly, and break through the middle stage of Duzhen Bridge in one fell swoop! You have been staying in Tiandao for a long time this time, and you will leave here soon. Don't waste the time of crossing the bridge."

The river demon laughed, and after taking a deep look at Ning Fan, his body swayed and he flew into the first real illusory river again.

Ning Fan glanced in the direction of the First River, withdrew his gaze, turned around, walked towards the Second River, and stepped onto the second bridge!

The moment I took this step, I was still weighed down by the will of countless rivers.

The will of the water in the second True Illusion River is several times stronger than that of the first True Illusion River, but now Ning Fan's strength has also been several times stronger than before. Therefore, although it was difficult to move on the second bridge, it was still slow but steady.

Walk forward step by step.

With every step forward, Ning Fan's cultivation level will increase by one point.

The moment he stepped onto the other side, Ning Fan's cultivation level was a matter of course. After breaking through the middle stage of Du Zhen, the total mana of his body was comparable to that of a monk in the late stage of Du Zhen, and it was many times higher than the ordinary monks in the late stage of Du Zhen!

Exhaling a breath of turbid air, Ning Fan raised his head and looked at the world around him, only to see that turbulent flow of space had appeared within the Heavenly Dao, apparently trying to expel him from this place.

"It's time to go..."

Ning Fan cupped his fists and saluted to the First River, raised his hand, opened a dark passage in front of him, stepped in, and left.

...

Half a month has passed since Ning Fan entered the interior of Heavenly Dao to transcend his true nature.

During the past half month, Liu Yan and Xian Loli stayed in Mangu, waiting for Ning Fan to return.

Every day when Xian Loli wakes up, she loses her memory of Liu Yan, which gives Liu Yan a headache.

Fortunately, Ning Fan had already left a photo on the jade slip, which contained fragments of memories of his life with Liu Yan and Xian Loli.

Every day, Liu Yan will show these photos to Xian Loli to let Xian Loli understand that she is not the enemy.

"Liu Yan, why hasn't dad come back yet? Xianxian misses dad..."

Like a monkey, the fairy loli ran up the tree, swaying her feet, chewing thunder pills, and looking at the sky in a daze.

When Ning Fan was away, she would be in a daze every day and miss Ning Fan.

"It's almost...Senior Duzhen, whether he succeeds or fails, half a month has passed and it's time to come back..."

Liu Yan stood guard under the tree, looking at Xian Loli, fearing that Xian Loli would slip out of Man Valley and encounter danger when Ning Fan was not around.

Although she has long known that Xian Loli's strength is comparable to that of the old monster in Shekong, and she will not encounter much danger in the wilderness...

However, after decades of getting along with each other, she, Ning Fan, and Xian Loli had a family-like bond. The feeling was very intoxicating and made Liu Yan a little reluctant to let go, but she also understood that this kind of family affection was just false.

, she has no family relationship with Ning Fan or Xian Loli.

Boom!

In the clear sky, a muffled thunder suddenly exploded, and several demon cultivators emerged from the light, holding ancient demon sacrificial weapons, and came to this barbaric valley.

There were three demon cultivators who came here, two of them were demon cultivators from the True Dragon Clan in the early stage of Duzhen, and the other one was a purple-armored dragon demon in the early stage of Shekong.
