That's why he came all the way to the Sword Realm to stand up for the Heavenly Palace.

He never thought that coming forward this time would directly lead to him becoming Ning Fan's slave.

Xu Daozi didn't know the specific location of the secret place. He only knew the general direction, which was somewhere in the northern territory of Tianjiang.

Now that he knows that there is a great opportunity in that secret place, Ning Fan will not miss the opportunity.

Xu Daozi dispatched countless strong men from the Heavenly Palace to explore the whereabouts of the secret place. After a month, they finally found the secret place.

But no one expected that that secret place turned out to be a dangerous place!

When Xu Daozi led the Emperor and countless other experts into the secret place to investigate, something unexpected happened!

There was actually a killing sword array on the outskirts of the secret place, which killed everyone. Only Xu Daozi escaped.

That sword formation is an immortal formation!

Just one formation killed and injured all the monks on top of Tiandian Lianxu.

Tian Yiyunshui, who went with him, was directly buried under the sword array...

In the Ling Palace, Ning Fan looked at Xu Daozi who was kneeling on the ground, covered in blood. Hearing his report, Ning Fan's eyes were extremely solemn.

Emperor Ling also looked solemnly. Ning Fan did not hide the matter from Emperor Ling about his search for the second secret place of the Sword Ancestor.

The secret place is in the sword world. Even if Ning Fan wants to find an opportunity, he is not prepared to monopolize it.

After he leaves, this secret place should eventually belong to the Sword World and exist as the second place where the Sword Ancestor is tested.

"Is it a fairy formation-level sword formation... There are such powerful formations in the outer area alone. If it reaches the inner area... Ning Fan, this secret place is too dangerous, you don't want to go!" Little Dugu said nervously.

Ning Fan first sent people to search for the secret place, and told little Dugu that he would take Dugu with him to find opportunities.

The opportunity of the Sword Ancestor Secret Land is naturally more beneficial to sword cultivators.

Ning Fan is not a true swordsman, but Dugu is.

Ning Fan originally wanted to take advantage of this secret place to help Dugu break through the Void Refining, but now it seems that even if he wants to go to this secret place, he can't take little Dugu with him.

And Ning Fan already had some hesitation in his heart at this moment, wondering whether he should go to this secret place.

Xu Daozi only knew that there was a great opportunity in this secret place, but he did not see it with his own eyes, but only obtained the information from the magic weapon. It is difficult to distinguish between true and false.

If the secret land is not dangerous, Ning Fan wouldn't mind searching for it.

Now that he knew that the secret place was dangerous, and he didn't know what chance was, Ning Fan would only risk his life in a strange and forbidden place unless he was a fool.

"What you're saying is that it's okay not to go to this forbidden area."

Ning Fan's words made Xiao Dugu relax. Naturally, she didn't want to watch Ning Fan take risks.

Emperor Ling looked at the intelligence map in his hand and remained silent, but his expression became more and more solemn.

"The location of this secret place seems to be...the ruins of the Xia Kingdom millions of years ago! It is said that this secret place contains the secret of becoming an immortal, but it also contains great evils. The strongest men from the entire Xia Kingdom once came out.

There were 17 Loose Immortals alone, all of whom entered this secret place to explore the art of becoming immortals...but they all died in the secret place overnight! The Xia Kingdom was destroyed in one night!"

"Xia Kingdom... was destroyed in one night..."

Ning Fan's eyes suddenly flashed, as if he thought of something.

The Xia Kingdom... was destroyed in one night in order to become an immortal.

The emperor of the Xia Kingdom is the Xia Emperor.

Ning Fan had a suspicion in his mind: Could it be that Emperor Xia was the only one who survived among the strong men of Xia Kingdom?

The Xia Kingdom was destroyed because of seeking immortality, so why did Emperor Xia hate immortality so much? Is that so...

There is a secret to becoming an immortal in the secret place of Xia Kingdom, but 17 loose immortals were buried in it... This secret place must be extremely dangerous.

Ning Fan shook his head, even if it was for the secret of becoming an immortal, he did not want to enter this dangerous place.

The trip to the secret place. I just gave up.

It was a cool night, and Ning Fan was sitting in the yard outside his independent house, bathing in the wind and snow, with thoughts gradually rising in his mind.

He took Tianjiang as his betrothal and proposed to marry Dugu, but he was not prepared to consummate the marriage with Dugu at this time.

The technique that Dugu practiced was called "The Sword Ancestor Sutra". It is said that Dugu acquired it by chance during one of his travels.

It is not advisable for a girl who practices this technique to break Yuan Yin before she becomes a sword immortal.

Knowing this, Ning Fan would naturally not destroy Dugu Yuanyin's body just for the sake of temporary lust.

What surprised Ning Fan was that Dugu was too lucky.

After entering the Sword Ancestor's secret place in the Snow Territory for a trial, I was able to obtain the "Sword Finger" technique created by the Sword Ancestor.

When traveling abroad, you can also pick up the "Sword Ancestor Sutra".

Xiao Dugu's fate seems to be extremely destined to the sword.

"Little friend Ning, I have something to say to you."

Suddenly, a voice came from behind, with a hint of intimacy.

Ning Fan turned around and saw that Emperor Xia was coming. He cupped his fists and saluted, "Senior Xia has something to say, but it doesn't matter."

"I heard that you found the secret land of the Xia Kingdom. I wanted to tell you about the destruction of the Xia Kingdom."

Emperor Xia's golden eyes dimmed, with a hint of sadness, as if he was remembering the scene when his country was destroyed and his family was destroyed.

"Senior, you are here to persuade me not to go to that dangerous place to find immortals? Senior, don't worry, I have decided not to go to that forbidden place..."

Ning Fan spoke in general, but was interrupted by Emperor Xia with a wry smile.

"No, I am here to ask you to go to that forbidden place."

"Why?" Ning Fan's eyes instantly became solemn.

With Emperor Xia's strength and personality, he rarely used the word "Qiu".

He said "ask", and what he asked for was naturally no small matter.

If Ning Fan were asked to enter the forbidden area, the purpose would never be to seek immortality.

Emperor Xia himself disdained becoming an immortal. If he wanted to, he could now surpass the Immortal of Destiny and become a true immortal, but he didn't want to.

"What's the reason... you'll know when I tell you a story."

Emperor Xia showed a look of reminiscence and began to sort out the memories from millions of years ago.

It’s a very long memory, but it’s so unforgettable...

"A long time ago, in the land of Sword World, there was a powerful country of sword cultivators called Xia Kingdom. The Xia Kingdom has been passed down for hundreds of generations and gradually declined. Even so, it is still the number one force in the Sword World."

"That year, a prince was born in the Xia Kingdom. His name was Xia Wuyou. He was a natural swordsman, a genius that only happens once in a million years in the Xia Kingdom. It took ten years to merge spirits and forty years to form a marriage.

Dan, a hundred years of Nascent Soul, another two hundred years to transform into a god, another two hundred years to refine the void... After another thousand years of cultivation, he has already reached the level of a loose immortal..."

"After the death of the late emperor, Xia Wuyou naturally inherited the position of Emperor Xia. He had a childhood sweetheart named Meng Bingyun. When he was sixteen years old, the two became Taoist couples. Meng Bingyun's birth was not easy.

She is beautiful, but she loves Xia Wuyou very much. Xia Wuyou was arrogant and looked down on Meng Bingyun, and eventually became obsessed with practicing Taoism. She did not even look at Meng Bingyun for decades..."

Speaking of this, Emperor Xia's eyes showed a trace of sadness, and he closed his eyes in pain. After a long time, he continued.

"It only took Xia Wuyou 1,500 years to cultivate all the way to Sanxian. He is too qualified, too arrogant, and too eager to become an immortal. He wants to become an immortal and sacrifices his life to seek truth. He thinks he has the ability to become the Immortal Emperor.

Qualifications... He is too proud. Perhaps it is because of this pride that it is difficult for him to understand the true meaning of life and death, and he has never been able to take the step of becoming an immortal... He has been in the realm of Sanxian for thirty thousand years.

.”

"Meng Bingyun has always been ignored by him, but she has no complaints against him. She always accompanies him and enlightens him. To be honest, although Meng Bingyun is not beautiful in appearance, and his qualifications are not as good as Xia Wuyou's, but he is still worthy of a hundred thousand years.

He met a swordsmanship wizard. During the 30,000 years since Xia Wuyou stopped becoming a loose immortal, Meng Bingyun gradually cultivated to the realm of loose immortality. One step ahead of Xia Wuyou, he took the step that would lead to life and death...

.”

"Xia Wuyou felt extremely humiliated and was unwilling to accept it. He boasted that his qualifications far exceeded Meng Bingyun, but he lost to Meng Bingyun on the road to becoming an immortal. How could he be calm? He became even more distant from Meng Bingyun. He longed to become an immortal even more.

, almost to the point of becoming obsessed...until one day, a secret place was unearthed in the Xia Kingdom...the Sword Ancestor Secret Place! Within it, the secret of becoming an immortal is hidden!"

"When he learned that there was a secret to becoming an immortal in the secret place, the entire Xia Kingdom was excited. Especially Xia Wuyou, who was eager to become an immortal. He was so thirsty that he went crazy. Without any hesitation, he wanted to spend all the money in the Xia Kingdom.

A strong man. Explore the secret of becoming an immortal in this secret place. On the day he was about to leave, Meng Bingyun appeared in front of him covered in blood and told him that it was very dangerous in the secret place. She

She went to explore the road in person and almost died inside... She begged Xia Wuyou not to go..."

"Xia Wuyou was deeply touched. He couldn't imagine that Meng Bingyun, who had been neglected and ignored by him, would go to a strange and secret place to explore the way for him... She came back covered in blood. There was no time to heal her wounds, just to tell him

, the secret place is dangerous, don’t go there.”

"However, the temptation to become an immortal was too great... In the end, Xia Wuyou ignored Meng Bingyun's reminder and went his own way, leading all the strong men of the Xia Kingdom into the secret place of the Xia Kingdom... That day, the strong men of the Xia Kingdom

Almost all were killed or wounded. No matter how talented Xia Wuyou is, he is still just a loose immortal. He should have died in a secret place..."

"But when he was about to die, Meng Bingyun saved him and saved him with his own life... It was a bone-chilling sword lake. Meng Bingyun rescued him, but he himself sank into the sword lake forever.

In the middle... her last gaze was still looking at Xia Wuyou longingly, gently apologizing to him... 'I'm sorry, Wuyou, I can't stay with you anymore, I'm sorry'..."

"She shouldn't be the one apologizing... Become an immortal, become an immortal! What did Xia Wuyou seek in the end when he sought immortality? He had no idea what he wanted! When he knew and understood,

But also lost forever..."
