Chapter 1287: Chapter 1287: Once Entered the Immortal Clouds, Unreturnable

The Chiwei Flower blooms on the Chiwei Star.

Like the Ziwei Flower that blooms with six petals, Chiwei also blooms into six methods, all of which starkly oppose the Ziwei Six Paths.

Method one: [Chiwei Demon Spirit Dao Scripture].

Unlike the Immortal Spirit Scroll in the Ziwei Immortal Emperor’s hands, this Demon Spirit Dao Scripture has no pitfalls because it was written by Chiwei himself.

Method two: [Chiwei Dou Shu Thirteen Layers].

From Ning Fan’s perspective, this is entirely based on Ziwei Dou Shu, modified to add a thirteenth layer on top of what was initially present.

The first twelve layers aren’t much different, mostly teaching how to seek fortune and avoid disaster... but the thirteenth layer teaches how to become the great calamity and terror of the world...

"The thirteenth layer is interesting, but unfortunately, it needs to be cultivated sequentially..." Ning Fan mused to himself.

Method three: [Myriad Stars Falling, Unyielding Red].

Ziwei cultivates to guard the stars; Chiwei cultivates for the downfall of the stars, strikingly contrary, while also transforming the stars into eyes and ears. This technique is divided into Duowen Chapter, Guangmu Chapter, Zengzhang Chapter, Unlimited Chapter.

When all four Chapters are combined, it becomes Unyielding Red.

Method four: [Chiwei Thunder Method].

Unlike Ziwei’s Thunder Method, which requires the cultivation of purple qi, Chiwei’s Thunder Method does not require the refinement of qi, hence in comparison to Ziwei’s version, this method is somewhat weakened.

It’s not weakened in power, but in other aspects, which only practice will reveal... The benefit is avoiding pitfalls by not refining qi.

Method five: [Chiwei Extreme Domineering Spear].

According to the Chiwei Demon Monarch, Ziwei’s Great Emperor Blade mastery was his own insight which was merely plagiarized by the opponent. After having been cut down and many long years of unwilling solitude, he did not fall into silence, instead reclaiming and refining all his techniques, creating a version more powerful than the original... such a move...

This something or other spear is stronger than the Great Emperor Blade, the only issue being that the name of this technique is perhaps not well chosen.

The Chiwei Demon Monarch himself felt the name was quite domineering, and hearing it seemed fine; he thought Ning Fan’s own dirty mind made everything sound indecent.

"If I use this technique in the future, I shall simply not call it by its full name..." Ning Fan thought to himself.

Method six: [Chiwei Flower Blooms, Eternal Chi Ming].

Unlike the funeral flower parties like the Ziwei Immortal Emperor, the Chiwei Demon Monarch is a steadfast flower-planting advocate.

"Both Ziwei and Chiwei are flowers. Born as flowers, they don’t think about planting but instead bury themselves out of fear. Heh, no comment..." Chiwei remarked.

This technique is divided into two parts: the first part teaches how to gather a thousand flowers and seize others’ three flowers; the second part teaches how to plant flowers, spirits, the Dao, and eternity.

If this technique were used to cultivate the Qinglian Soul Flower of the Sword Ancestor, the day of his return to the world would not be far...

"I just wonder if Chiwei’s methods can be used to restore the unrivaled Duowen..."

To avoid loopholes and prevent being transmitted out of the settlement space, Ning Fan did not choose Ziwei’s methods as a reward, keeping the trial time frozen at that moment.

Though having obtained the Chiwei Six Paths, it was an unexpected gain unrelated to the trial’s rules.

Though without Ziwei’s methods in hand, Chiwei’s Star Method includes the Duowen Chapter... it seems it could also be used to restore the unparalleled Duowen.

Just unsure whether Ziwei plagiarized Chiwei, refining the Ziwei Four Sacred Artifacts, or Chiwei plagiarized Ziwei, writing the four Chapters of the Star Method...

"Rest assured, this art can be used to restore the unparalleled Duowen." Chiwei saw through Ning Fan’s thoughts and transmitted his voice.

As for who plagiarized whom, it was not explained.

...

So Ning Fan decided to fix the unrivaled Duowen first.

What he needs to do is as hard as ascending to heaven, thus he needs more power.

Ning Fan: "Duowen, you won’t still wholeheartedly seek death, will you?"

Duowen: "Of course not! Since the Immortal Emperor intends to rewrite the fate of my lord, I shall fully assist you! However, I have one concern..."

Ning Fan: "Speak freely of any matter."

Duowen: "The Ziwei Four Sacred Artifacts combined are comparable to a Heaven-Opening Artifact; even though you’ve obtained all the materials needed for restoration, with your Artifact Refining Technique, it seems somewhat lacking..."

Ning Fan: "Oh? You, who are not a Heaven-Opening Artifact, think that the difficulty of restoring yourself is comparable to that of a Heaven-Opening Artifact... As expected..."

Ning Fan had long suspected, with Duowen’s talents, he must possess the abilities of the other three Sacred Artifacts. Now that the other party revealed this without directly saying it, how could Ning Fan not understand the deeper meaning?

Once this unparalleled Duowen is restored, even if it’s not truly a Heaven-Opening Artifact, it will surely be infinitely close to one...

Were it not related to his lord, with Duowen’s character, he would never reveal all his cards and disclose everything; this indicates his willingness to sincerely cooperate.

Duowen: "Who does the Immortal Emperor intend to have repair me?"

Ning Fan pondered for a moment and then understood the answer.

Chi Yi, who aided him in refining the supreme Innate Flooded Bottle, would suffice for this task.

However, Chi Yi had already consumed a great deal of power just to repair the Flooded Bottle, and a strand of his heart spirit was sent out to heal... If she’s to repair the nearly Heaven-Opening Duowen now, wouldn’t the consumption be even greater...

Ning Fan was still indecisive when he noticed in the Crimson Mountain Fighting Sea, suddenly a meteor fell to the ground, then flowers bloomed where it landed, yielding fruit from which a girl named Chi Yi emerged.

Good heavens...

Ning Fan was still contemplating whether to take action or not when the Chiwei Demon Lord had already sent someone over!

And it wasn’t just a remnant of consciousness that was sent, but an entire living person!

Isn’t this against the trial rules? Oh, right, this is Chiwei’s realm, not the trial world... Once again, Chiwei Demon Lord exploited a loophole!

"Master, a voice told me that you needed help and asked if I was willing to come here..." Chi Yi explained cautiously.

The master clearly instructed her to rest well after leaving, but she still disobeyed the order and came running over, acting heedlessly. What if the master becomes annoyed...

"Thank you."

Ning Fan extended his hand and gently rubbed Chi Yi’s little head, while Chi Yi showed a dazed expression, not understanding whether this gesture was praise or punishment. Is the master angry, after all? But the master said thank you, so it should mean he’s not angry...

Though Chi Yi was still somewhat weak, since she was already here, Ning Fan wasn’t in a hurry to send her back.

The last time she repaired the Flooded Bottle, Chi Yi only used a remnant of her consciousness, thus bearing a heavy burden. But this time with her whole person here, repairing another Flooded Bottle wouldn’t be a big loss for her.

However, if what needed repair was something like the suspected Heaven-Opening Artifact...

"You are still too thin..." Ning Fan said affectionately, eyeing Chi Yi.

Chi Yi was brought back by Ning Fan after he repelled the Fire Fish Immortal, and it hadn’t been long since she returned home, so she hadn’t been well-nourished yet. Otherwise, even if it were a real Heaven-Opening Artifact that needed repairing, the damage wouldn’t be significant.

"Chi Yi will work hard!" Chi Yi blushed lightly as Ning Fan’s gaze swept over her body.

Indeed, the master thinks she’s too thin, which is why he doesn’t ask her to warm the bed?

From today onwards, she has to work hard to gain weight!

"You used to be an Eternal Immortal Venerable, right?" Ning Fan asked.

"I don’t remember..." Chi Yi responded painfully, the more she tried to recall her past, the more her head hurt.

"Then don’t try to remember."

Ning Fan sighed slightly. This girl was trapped inside the Fire Fish Immortal for many years, severely injured, her memories fragmented, her cultivations are not what they once were.

Yet, because she held the Title of Divine Craftsman, she lacked the former memories related to Artifact Refining Technique, Mechanical Techniques...

Ning Fan was pondering when he suddenly felt something off about the emotions of the Three Saints serving him.

The Three Saints’ gazes fell on Chi Yi, each with a different expression.

Chi Biaonu felt ashamed, whereas Saint Taibai and Heaven-Sealing Sect Master looked utterly horrified.

What’s going on... Shame can be overlooked, but horror? Why are two Saints, one in the Initial Saint realm and the other in Nirvana Saint realm, afraid of an injured Immortal Venerable?

The Third Realm of Tianren activated, revealing the cause and effect.

All Three Saints know Chi Yi; it turns out his Chi Yi is somewhat of a small celebrity.

Chi Biaonu felt ashamed because he had to stand by during the critical tribulation Chi Yi faced in the past, being the Clan Leader of the Crimson Panther Clan, thus causing his shame.

Saint Taibai had it worse; caught by Dao Barbarian Mountain and defeated by Chi Yi, trapped under her Mechanical Techniques, becoming a stepping stone for Chi Yi’s fame in the Firstly, pierce the body with the pin and draw the marks...

Heaven-Sealing Sect Master also owed immense karma to the Divine Artisan State, and Chi Yi, being a Titled Divine Craftsman, was akin to a creditor coming to collect...

"Is this... coincidence? Or had Senior Chiwei been setting this up for countless years?" Ning Fan wondered, somewhat shocked.

The game between Reverse Saints started a hundred cycles of reincarnation ago, with things being calculated clearly this early?

"I’m not as divine as you think; I am not Purple Dou, who can only observe the developments of destiny. But I found the developments interesting, hence calculated slightly against these Three Saints," Chiwei’s voice transmitted.

Finding labor to manage one realm is real.

As for why it was these three, it was prepared for Ning Fan.

But this was merely a casual tactic, whether it would become useful someday or not was uncertain to Chiwei, nor did it matter. Yet Ning Fan actually dared to face destiny and come to rewrite the script of destiny.

Thus, it was no longer a casual tactic, but a brilliant move laid across hundreds of cycles of reincarnation.

"The Fourth Step, so terrifying..." Ning Fan’s gaze became solemn.

This wasn’t about the level of strength, but a stark difference in viewpoint. While he struggled within one lifetime of reincarnation, someone at the Fourth Step had already prepared responses across thousands.

In the past, the Ziwei Demon Lord chose self-abandon under immense pressure like this...

If there’s no winning chance from the start, Ziwei wouldn’t dare play, nor have the courage to flip the board.

Ning Fan: "Senior Chi..."

Chi Biaonu: "Senior, do not address me with such disrespect! Please follow the other senior’s example and call me Little Chi instead!"

Ning Fan: "Then, Little Chi, being the Clan Leader of the Crimson Panther Clan, you should have plenty for nourishing Crimson Panther Ancestral Blood, right?"

Chi Biaonu: "Rest assured! This matter is taken care of by me!"

Ning Fan was surprised.

He hadn’t yet stated his request, but the other party understood fully?

"This is the Immortal Apricot produced by the Nether Dust Southern Wilderness Ancient Divine Tree, a sacred healing item, enough to resolve the injuries Chi Yi suffered and restore her to her peak state!"

"This bottle contains the ancestral blood of our Crimson Panther Clan, with twelve drops remaining, yet to be granted to descendants, all now belong to Chi Yi, enough to make her advance further!"

"This blade is a supreme innate magical treasure of our tribe, the Chi Fury Blade. It is also presented to Chi Yi as a gift!"

As a result, Chi Yi received a pile of gifts but dared not accept them indiscriminately, instead looking at Ning Fan with a nervous expression.

"Take them. This is a generous gift from your Clan Leader. A gift from an elder cannot be refused!" Ning Fan smiled, genuinely without any desire for Chi Yi’s treasures.

But Chi Yi was still reluctant. The Chi Fury Blade was just another top-grade innate magical treasure she wasn’t interested in. The twelve drops of ancestral blood didn’t matter either; she wasn’t very interested in the strength of her bloodline and felt that the ancestral blood would be better sent to the master. As for the Ancient Dao Immortal Apricot, it was extremely precious. Although her memory was damaged, she vaguely remembered that this item was valuable even to Saints...

How could she be worthy of eating it... it should be given to the master!

"This is your karma, how could it be added to me? Open your mouth!" Ning Fan saw through Chi Yi’s little thoughts and commanded.

So Chi Yi obediently opened her mouth, and a large Immortal Apricot was stuffed in. Her cheeks puffed up as she chewed with difficulty.

A trace of the sour yet grand medicinal power of the Immortal Apricot surprisingly turned into a bit of sweetness as she chewed...

The strands of medicinal power transformed into her soul. This was a potent medicine power enough to delay extinction, now used to repair the injuries within Chi Yi’s body.

Her cultivation was gradually recovering.

Her injuries were slowly being mended.

Some memories she should have forgotten began to flow back slowly.

Images streamed through her fragmented memories, and for a moment, she remembered her master, Gongshu Saint.

Back then, she was still a little crimson panther, but she hadn’t always been raised under her master’s care.

She had an old master, and it was that old master who requested Gongshu Saint to adopt her, the little crimson panther.

Lord of the Clouds: [People say not to show off in front of an expert, and indeed only you can repair this Mountain and Sea Axe.]

Gongshu Saint: [Less flattering words! I won’t shortchange your payment by a single penny! Speaking of which, where did you get this axe from, and its owner has been looking for it. The karma here is enormous, be careful not to bring disasters upon yourself...]

Lord of the Clouds: [Thanks for the reminder, I’ll be cautious.]

Gongshu Saint: [Now that the axe is repaired, who are you planning to cleave? You wouldn’t repay kindness with enmity and cleave me, would you?]

Lord of the Clouds: [No, I’m going to cleave destiny.]

Gongshu Saint: [Are you... serious?]

Lord of the Clouds: [Yes, so I want to entrust this little panther to you.]

Gongshu Saint: [Nonsense! Why are you throwing your pet at me! Do I look idle to you!]

Gongshu Saint: [Wait, don’t rush off. I don’t even know your name or where your dwelling is. How do I find you afterward to return this panther!]

Gongshu Saint: [At least tell me what this little guy is called, how to raise it, and if there are any food restrictions...]

Memories surged back, transforming into a silent tear, flowing from Chi Yi’s bewildered eyes.

The master entrusted her to the mentor, but the master never returned...

The mentor said the master had fallen and would not return, but she refused to believe it! So she followed the only clues from the master, searching all the way.

The Mountain and Sea Axe was originally a treasure of the Barbarian Clan, so she found the Barbarian Clan and joined the Barbars but still couldn’t find him.

She established countless merits for the Barbarian Clan, and her only wish was to see the Ancient Kingdom’s God-Destroying Shield, as that God-Destroying Shield gave her a familiar feeling, like the master’s aura...

But when she finally borrowed the God-Destroying Shield to see it, she was left disappointed, finding no clues.

Thus, she requested to leave the Ancient Barbarian Realm to wander. The Barbarian God didn’t ask the reason but permitted her.

The Barbarian God only thought she was wandering to gain enlightenment, yet he did not know she wandered merely to find the master...

"Master..." Chi Yi suddenly burst into tears, hugging Ning Fan tightly.

Finally, she found you...

But Chi Yi’s memory didn’t last long. Even the Ancient Dao Immortal Apricot only allowed her to recall the past temporarily, then she forgot everything...

Chi Yi let go of Ning Fan baffled, wondering why she impulsively took such a liberty with the master.

"Is this... inconceivable?" Ning Fan frowned.

A massive amount of inconceivable force interfered with Chi Yi recalling past events. What on earth did this little girl experience before? Was she injured by a Reverse Saint, or got involved in a Great Secret of Heaven and Earth...

"Why did you suddenly just now..." Ning Fan wanted to ask what Chi Yi had briefly remembered.

Chi Yi blushed, thinking Ning Fan was asking about the hug.

"Chi Yi doesn’t know..."

She didn’t know. What could he do about it?

Nonetheless, through the Third Realm’s eyes, Ning Fan saw a strand of karma related to himself from Chi Yi’s recent behavior.

In Chi Yi’s vast and distant past, a certain karmic thread tied to him existed, though its specifics were unclear.

...

Merely relying on Chi Yi, refining the Ancient Dao Immortal Apricot would take a long time, so Ning Fan took action, channeling the divine spirit power into Chi Yi to help her refine the apricot.

Unfortunately, some issues arose during the refining, and after a sequence of indescribable events omitted, Chi Yi finally managed to completely refine the Ancient Dao Immortal Apricot.

"Next time, don’t make a fuss! This item’s level is extremely high, and if the refining goes wrong, the backlash won’t be light..." Ning Fan had no choice but to extend his finger and gently poke Chi Yi’s forehead as a form of punishment.

"It’s not like I was making a fuss..." Chi Yi said innocently, holding her head, feeling regretful that the Ancient Dao Immortal Apricot was already refined.

The Ancient Dao Immortal Apricot did not restore Chi Yi’s memory, but it did allow her personality to recover somewhat... At first glance, the little girl seemed like an innocent, cute little white rabbit, but if you were to cut open this rabbit...

Well, it’s better not to cut it open, because you won’t be able to put it back together again.

It wasn’t a little white rabbit in the first place; it’s a Crimson Panther, after all!

Ning Fan then took out twelve drops of Crimson Panther Ancestral Blood: "This time, don’t make a fuss, remember that..."

"The master has commanded, Chi Yi dares not disobey!" Chi Yi said earnestly.

However...

The development of the situation quickly added 120,000 words of indescribable content...

"Did you do it on purpose, or was it an accident..." Ning Fan sighed.

Thinking of Chi Yi’s heavy past, which likely involved his own cause and effect, he really couldn’t bring himself to get angry with this little girl.

"Chi Yi doesn’t dare anymore..." Chi Yi didn’t want to lie, she only said she doesn’t dare anymore.

However, Ning Fan felt that this little girl would dare next time.

Just hope that others don’t follow the little girl’s example...

The Black Evil Sect, already following the example: "..."

At this moment, the Black Evil Sect was utterly impressed by Chi Yi, admiring her to the point of prostration. It turns out that to win over a master, you don’t need too many steps, just a bit of accident...

Feels like I could do it too!

Ning Fan, seeing through the thoughts of the Black Evil Sect: "..."

...

A single Ancient Dao Immortal Apricot restored Chi Yi to her peak state.

Twelve drops of Crimson Panther Ancestral Blood, plus some indescribable factors, elevated Chi Yi’s cultivation all the way to the level of a Seven Calamity Immortal Emperor, almost on the verge of breaking through to the Eight Tribulations.

And when Ning Fan also gave Chi Yi a Zi Relic, Chi Yi completely broke through the Eternal Eight Tribulations.

For ordinary Immortal Venerables, breaking through each realm is a near-death experience, but Chi Yi had no such worries.

Not to mention that she had a master protecting her, and there were three Saints guarding the place. Even just relying on her mechanical techniques to add some divine craftsman mechanisms here, she was able to attract and then shatter all the heavy Tribulation of Measure.

"This little girl really is remarkable..." Ning Fan remarked, watching Chi Yi easily crush the Tribulation of Measure.

"Chi Yi is indeed remarkable. Back when she was just at the Immortal Venerable Realm, she gave Daoist Taibai a hard time, let alone now that she’s reached Immortal Emperor." Chi Biaonu praised in agreement with Ning Fan.

"The heir of the Divine Artisan State truly lives up to their reputation!" The Heaven-Sealing Sect Master praised as well, naturally to agree with the senior Holy Heart.

With the atmosphere building up to this point, even Saint Taibai, who had been on the receiving end, had to say a few words.

"Such vast mechanical power, my defeat back then was not in vain! I, Bai Zhaoju, am willing to call this girl the number one of the Three Worlds in mechanical techniques!"

No choice but to speak!

Back then, he was defeated by Chi Yi, and though he was the victim, cause and effect aren’t calculated like that.

One Chi Yi was already enough trouble, but now Chi Yi even has a backer in the Reverse Saint senior, and thinking of this, Saint Taibai only felt deep regret, wishing he could sever ties with his past self.

Ning Fan: "Senior Chi..."

Chi Biaonu: "Senior, please give me a way out, call me Little Chi."

Ning Fan: "Alright, Little Chi, I thank you on Chi Yi’s behalf for your generous gift."

Chi Biaonu: "Not at all, just a token, not worthy of being called generous."

Seeing that Ning Fan was quite satisfied with his gift, Chi Biaonu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Offering up the Ancient Dao Immortal Apricot was indeed painful, but compared to incurring the cause and effect of the Reverse Saint, it was nothing.

Chi Biaonu felt relieved, but Saint Taibai and the Heaven-Sealing Sect Master were increasingly anxious.

Sharing the burden of cause and effect among three people would result in less loss, but Chi Biaonu was the quickest to seize the opportunity and the most decisive in action, even offering up heavy treasures like the Ancient Dao Immortal Apricot without a second thought...

It should be known that back then, to obtain this Immortal Apricot, Chi Biaonu formed cause and effect with several Saints... He truly was generous!

"So be it, delaying would lead to complications, I am the one most deeply entangled with Chi Yi in cause and effect..." Saint Taibai took a deep breath, repeatedly hesitating before finally quelling his greed, making up his mind.

Just as he was about to offer up his treasure, he was overtaken by the Heaven-Sealing Sect Master.

Seeing this, Saint Taibai was exceedingly anxious, lifting his hand to tear open one of his realms to extract a galaxy, trying to block the Heaven-Sealing Sect Master’s advancing steps.

However, Saint Taibai was merely an Initial Saint, how could he stop the Heaven-Sealing Sect Master who was at the Nirvana Saint level.

Witnessing the Heaven-Sealing Sect Master transforming with a single finger into an ancient glacier, the glacier and galaxy clashed, as if two epochs were battling, resolved in the blink of an eye, leaving the galaxy to shatter into icy fragments.

Then, in Saint Taibai’s unwilling gaze, the Heaven-Sealing Sect Master offered a salute and took out stacks and stacks of treasure chests made of Heavenly Dao Gold, displaying them in front.

"Back in the day, when I attained Dao, I was greatly indebted to the Divine Artisan State, today I pay back what I owe to someone with fate!"
