The little girl willed the Immortal Cloud to descend and avoid interrupting Ning Fan from his the enlightenment. He stood upright in the rain silently for a long time.
It was desolation… but it seemed like this implication wasn’t enough to explain Que Shenzi’s path of Dao, and definitely not enough to integrate it into his Divine Intent of Rain!
“Let’s go to the fifth level…”
“Great! But the Pill Cookies you made aren’t enough for me…” The little girl avoided eye contact and chuckled.
“I will make the pills for you again after arriving in the fifth level!”
“Don’t you break your promise later!”
The little girl sounded slightly dispirited. Without the Pill Cookies, this place was extremely boring.
She leaped onto the Immortal Cloud and willed the cloud to move forward at lightning speed. There were Nascent Soul demonic beasts along the way, but when they smelled the trace of pill fragrance from the little girl, they seemed as if they had thought of something terrible in the past. They stayed dormant on the ground, afraid to move even a muscle.
The light of the cloud vanished into the huge pit that led to the fifth level. All of a sudden, the drizzle turned into winter cold rain.
Despite the extreme coldness, the rain had yet to freeze. Such a phenomenon certainly was beyond common sense.
No doubt it was rain. Even if it was an ice rain, it was totally different from ice!
Ning Fan’s eyes flashed. He began to feel that the ice rain in this level was unusual, it was unusual because it was endowed by the Divine Intent of Rain!
He recalled the magical technique he cultivated – the Ice Rain Technique. Although it was only a Spirit Level Magical Technique that was not worth mentioning, it coincided with the present scene.
He closed his eyes to gain more insight. Around him hid several Spirit Severing demonic beasts. Likewise, these demonic beasts were comprehending the Divine Intent of Rain while being drenched by the ice rain.
When Ning Fan entered the fifth level just now, each and every one of the demonic beasts revealed bloodthirsty eyes, but immediately, they withdrew their urge after being glared by the little girl.
They wouldn’t dare to do anything to Ning Fan anymore, but in their hearts, they looked down on this human. Any demonic beast that was above the Gold Core realm could shape-shift into human form. Although these demonic beasts had yet to transform, they already possessed the spiritual intelligence of humans.
“This brat is merely a Harmonious Spirit. But he can already gain enlightenment from Spirit Intent. Absurd…” An elephant-like beast spoke coldly in demonic language.
“But he’s protected by ‘that person’. We’d better not interfere in this matter.” Another demonic beast that looked like a rhinoceros said with concern.
These demonic beasts would certainly be peerless ferocious beasts if they were placed in the Rain Immortal World, but all of them dreaded the little girl.
And, just like what these demonic devils said, it wasn’t a smooth sailing process of enlightenment for Ning Fan.
For the first time, he wasn’t able to hear the insight of Que Shenzi from the rain.
The fifth level was like a watershed. The Divine Intent of Rain in this level began to change. The enlightenment in the fourth level became insignificant when it was compared with the enlightenment of fifth level.
“What’s missing…?” Ning Fan frowned, then the little girl prompted.
“Brother Cookie, is it done yet…? You said that you will make Pill Cookies for me. I’m getting hungry…”
“OK OK. I know…” Ning Fan opened his eyes reluctantly. Being unable to gain enlightenment plus being annoyed by this little girl, his mind had totally lost its calm.
He took out the Pill Cauldron of Xue Qing, then swung his sword at the ground to summon the earth fire, but he later discovered that he couldn’t draw out any earth fire as the Rain Intent of the fifth level was too strong.
In fact, it wasn’t because there was no earth fire. It was just that all the earth fire had been converted into rain water by the Divine Intent of Rain, seeping in the ground below.
“Haha, this brat is quite interesting… The Rain Intent here is so strong. How could he concoct pills without the earth fire…?” A white ape spoke sneeringly in demon language.
“How… how could this happen…? There’s no fire here… so how can Pill Cookies be made…?” The little girl showed an anxious look. While her mood was filled with worries, she had heard the cold sneer of the white ape.
She glared at the giggling white ape, gently raised her finger to gesture it over. “You, come over here. Make the earth fire for me. Or else I’m going to ask Grandpa to catch and roast you!”
When the white ape which was supposed to take pleasure in others misfortune heard the girl’s order, he looked so grief-stricken that his face turned as bitter as bitter gourd.
Immediately, he turned into a ray of light and raced towards the little girl in an ingratiating manner.
He slammed his palm at the pit of earth fire with a magical technique that carried the Divine Intent of Rain. After that, all the Divine Intent of Rain was dispersed.
Once again, the earth fire was stirred.
“Hehe, there’s earth fire now… Alright, Ape Darling, you can go and play now…”
“Yes, yes…”
When the imposing Spirit Severing Ape Devil was called Ape Darling by the little girl, instead of feeling discontented, he revealed a look of delight.
In Dark Sparrow’s Grave, as long as one became the ‘Darling’ of this little girl, they wouldn’t have to worry about being eaten by her anymore.
Each of the demonic beasts looked at the white ape in admiration. After all, the chance to please the little girl didn’t occur every day.
Ning Fan didn’t see any of these with his eyes, though any Qi of the demonic beast here could suffocate him.
His eyes focused only on the fiery pit, the slightly ignited earth fire.
Just now, when the white ape sent out a palm, his eyes glowed gradually.
It turned out that the Divine Intent of Rain was assimilation. Just comprehending it wasn’t enough. One had to activate it as well, using it to assimilate magical art, earth fire and every enemy that entered the domain of the Divine Intent of Rain.
A trace of insight slowly rose. Instead of concocting pills for the little girl, he performed a hand-seal with both hands, beginning to cast waves of the Ice Rain Technique.
In the tenth time, the rain still turned to ice.
In the one-hundredth time, some within the raindrops hadn’t formed ice.
In the one-thousandth time, half of them were finally in the form of rain.
After a thousand of trials, he closed his eyes. Finally, he could hear the sigh of Que Shenzi. That sigh was also assimilated to the Divine Intent of Rain and turned into rain drops. Before that, he wasn’t able to differentiate it from the rain, but right after, he could tell that the few drops were the insight of Que Shenzi in one glance!
“What is rain? I turn my palm and it becomes cloud, I turn my palm again it becomes rain!”
Despite it being only a few words from Que Shenzi, it enlightened Ning Fan, shaking off his last trace of dubiety.
