Chapter 505 - The Sixth Revolution is Like Heaven; Turning Into a Butterfly And Seizing Heaven!

Chapter 505: Chapter 505: The Sixth Revolution is Like Heaven; Turning Into a Butterfly And Seizing Heaven!  
In the bottom of the seventh level of the pond, Ning Fan sat down on the mud in a meditative posture in deathly stillness.
His body was covered by black starlight which constantly healed the injuries on his body that were caused by the Soul Bathing Light.
Immersed in the divine light, his medicine soul was gradually forcing its way through the bottleneck of the Sixth Revolution.
Judging by the speed of its progress, he probably would still need some time to attain the Sixth Revolution.
In the Profound Yin World, Luo You was sitting leisurely outside the thatched cottage while calmly combing her long black hair.
She was worried that Ning Fan would not be able to endure the divine light of the seventh level at first. Now, however, her worries for him had already completely vanished.
Unconsciously, the young man who always needed her help and protection in the past had now grown into a dependable man…
This made her feel gratified but also a little dejected at the same time.
Her long hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall. Her expression was gentle and refined, like a young mistress stayed in her boudoir for a long time. There was not the slightest hint of allure in her appearance that she would display normally.
As for her eyes that were as deep as the ocean, they carried an indescribable emotion.
She put down her comb and touched her soft lips which were as red as a rose with her tender and slender fingers. Immediately, her cheeks blushed.

I remember when I was unconscious, that stinky little brat always kissed me and used his mouth to feed me the medicine…


He still said that he will protect me…

Even though she was asleep in the past, she could still feel and be aware of the things that happened in the outside world.
She remembered Ning Fan’s kindness. She remembered his gentleness. These put her heart in a mess as she felt perplexed and frustrated.
The reason why she helped Ning Fan in the beginning was for each other’s benefit. However, she could not deny the fact that some inexplicable feelings blended into their mutually beneficial relationship as time went by.
After she had regained her consciousness this time, there was a moment where the idea of opening up herself to Ning Fan crossed her mind. She wanted to get closer to him.
However, when she thought of the revenge she had to seek for the annihilation of her family, her heart gradually turned cold, eliminating all of the feelings within her heart.

Luo You ah, Luo You… You’re already not the big mistress of the Luo Family like you were in the past. The love and romance between men and women doesn’t suit you. Your existence is just for seeking revenge for your parents and clan members…

Luo You’s eyes slowly became calm. She went inside the thatched cottage and walked towards the dressing table. Standing in front of her bronze mirror, she raised her hands and gently undid the clothes buttons on her chest.
Her plain white dress which was made of soft silk fabric fell to the ground lightly.
She took off her tube top, exposing her soft and silky breasts.
She turned her back to the bronze mirror with her arms crossed tightly in front of her chests. Then, she turned her head back and stared into the mirror.
The lady in the bronze mirror had skin as fair as white jade which made her exquisitely beautiful and elegant. Her curvy, naked body would make countless men crazy.
On her pure white back, however, there was a horrible scar which was ghastly to see.
That pattern of that scar resembled a hideous spider.

Luo You, take a good look at this scar. Have you forgotten about the enemies who destroy your family and the pain of losing your loved ones?

Her long eyelashes were trembling when she was muttering to herself, as if she was in sorrow. However, she shed no tears in the end.
She was already not the weak and soft-heated mistress of the Luo Family of the past.
She made a firm resolution a long time ago to get her revenge. For revenge, she even did not hesitate to sacrifice the purity of her body by choosing the Yin Yang Transformation as her natal cultivation method and becoming a female devil lord who plucked men…
Unfortunately, fate played a little joke on her. Before she could taint her body, her primordial spirit was trapped inside the Yin Yang Locket.
Looking at the hideous scar, Luo You’s face slowly turned cold. She no longer revealed any emotion on her face, just like a wooden puppet.
She put on her clothes and stayed silent for a while. After that, she muttered again.

Luo You is already dead. The current Luo You will never become enamored of anyone. Never…

…
Ning Fan was not aware of the titillating scene which had happened in the Profound Yin World.
He sat there without moving a single muscle for five days straight. The faint golden divine light shone on his face, illuminating the outline of his firm and persistent face.
He had hair that was as black as ink and long eyebrows that nearly reached his temples. Meanwhile, the blood-red star on his glabella was giving off a demonic light.
He did not have a mediocre appearance and wasn’t peerlessly handsome either but he could make others feel at ease.
All of a sudden, Ning Fan opened his eyes which looked like two dark abysses.

After being tempered by the Soul Bathing Light for five days, my medicine soul has already reached the maximum limit of the Peak Grade Fifth Revolution. If I take the Liancheng Pill and the Soul Washing Lotus at this moment, I believe my medicine soul can break through to the Sixth Revolution in one single try.

Ning Fan’s tone of voice was flat but it contained a strong conviction.
There was an old saying that planning is in the power of men but the outcome lies with Heaven. Ning Fan had made lots of preparations for attaining the Sixth Revolution Pill Refinement Realm.
The Pill Sovereign gave him guidance on pill refinement techniques for one hundred years in the dream, helping him clear off all the obstacles in his way to the Sixth Revolution Pill Refinement Realm.
He got him a Liancheng Pill which would give him an additional boost to go through the bottleneck.
He managed to borrow the Soul Washing Pond from Pill Island to be his location for attaining the Sixth Revolution.
Furthermore, he even chanced upon a Soul Washing Lotus. If he still could not achieve the breakthrough even with all these, it would be a little too unreasonable.
The sound of flowing water which filled his ears made him feel even more peaceful and quiet.
He took in a gentle breath and took out the Liancheng Pill and Soul Washing Lotus. After pondering for a while, he decided to take the Liancheng Pill first.
This pill was concocted by the former palace lord of the Scarlet Heaven Palace but it was turned into a defective pill upon its completion.
Luckily, the little pill devil had a heaven-defying ability to turn the defective pill back to normal. However, it only contained sixty to seventy percent of the original power of a common Liancheng Pill.
The power of the pill dispersed within Ning Fan’s body. Immediately, his medicine soul began throbbing.
He closed his eyes, feeling the changes that were happening to his medicine soul. After he had taken the pill, a few hundred tiny vortexes seemed to have appeared on his medicine soul.
The small vortexes were absorbing the nearby medicine soul power. Moments later, the medicine soul power which was originally loose and scattered around began gathering together with the vortexes as the center.
Each of the vortexes was like an indestructible city. They trapped the medicine soul power within to prevent them from scattering.
The several hundreds of vortexes responded among each other, just like a few hundreds of cities lighting up their beacons to signal each other.
Ning Fan suddenly opened his eyes. This time, they were flashed with a mild surprise.
This Liancheng Pill did not change the intensity of his medicine soul power. However, it caused his medicine soul to change qualitatively. It was like an upgrade, a solidification.
After experiencing the qualitative change, his chances of attaining the Sixth Revolution Pill Refinement Realm was without a doubt increased!


Liancheng Pill
[1] uses the soul as cities and connects them in a chain of beacons…It is an excellent pill! Unfortunately, the medicinal ingredients for concocting this pill are too difficult to get. Otherwise, I can make a few pellets more and have greater chances in attaining the Sixth Revolution.

Ning Fan was quite satisfied with the effect of the pill. After he had fully assimilated the power of the Liancheng Pill, he continued to take the Soul Washing Lotus.
It was a green lotus flower that was almost completely transparent. It was so crystal-clear that the veins of its leaves and petals were visible.
When he placed it near his nose and sniffed it, he could smell a unique delicate fragrance that made his mind and soul feel refreshed.
After taking it, the green lotus flower turned into a fresh and cooling qi which enveloped his medicine soul. It made him feel as if a cool breeze was blowing against him.
Ning Fan then pulled himself together and focused on assimilating the qi from the lotus flower. The assimilation process took ten days.
As the reinvigorating qi was completely assimilated, the barrier between him and the Sixth Revolution medicine soul became thinner. It would only need one final step and the barrier would be broken.
His medicine soul power was leaking like overflowing water in a river. It gradually became too much for that barrier to hold. Ning Fan mustered his energy, trying to push through the barrier and attain the Sixth Revolution.
However, seconds before he was about to achieve the breakthrough, a strange heavenly Dao power suddenly rose in heaven and earth and struck him.
All he could feel was a sharp pain in his medicine soul. The medicine soul power which he had been accumulating all this while to go through the barrier was all shattered by the heavenly Dao power…
The heavenly Dao actually did not allow him to achieve the Sixth Revolution Pill Refinement Realm!
This stage was as difficult as ascending Heaven. Countless Fifth Revolution Pill Refinement Masters were stuck at this stage, being stopped by the heavenly Dao which rendered their attempts to attain the Sixth Revolution unsuccessful.
Ning Fan’s expression was filled with surprise. He had never expected that the saying which said the Sixth Revolution is like Heaven actually referred to the hindrance from the heavenly Dao at the final stage of breaking through to the Sixth Revolution!

It’s beyond my expectation that the heavenly Dao would actually appear and obstruct me from my advancement…

Ning Fan frowned. His expression turned slightly serious. However, he immediately recovered his best state for cultivation in the next second. He kept all his emotions away and maintained his calmness.
He sat there for another one whole day to accumulate his medicine soul power again.
One day later, he activated his medicine soul power and tried to push through the bottleneck of the Sixth Revolution once more. However, he encountered the obstruction from the heavenly Dao again which caused him to fail another time in the end.
The second day… The third day… The fifty-seventh day!
Even after Ning Fan had failed fifty-seven times consecutively, he still could not get through the barrier of the Sixth Revolution. Every time when he was close to succeeding, the heavenly Dao would emerge and stop him.
He finally understood how difficult it exactly was to attain the Sixth Revolution. Luo You did not lie to him. Breaking through to the Sixth Revolution Pill Refinement Realm was much harder than breaking through to the Void Refinement Realm.
On the fifty-eighth day, Ning Fan stopped recharging his medicine soul power.
On the fifty-ninth day, he was still sitting on the same spot without moving at all.
The sixtieth day came. Then, the sixty-first… On the ninety-fifth day, Ning Fan suddenly opened his eyes. He made another attempt to attain the Sixth Revolution Pill Refinement Realm but he still failed in the end.
This time, however, at the moment he failed, he waved his hand and captured a strand of heavenly Dao power.
That strand of power dispersed between his fingers quickly but he managed to vaguely hear a voice from the heavenly Dao. That eternally immutable voice was constantly muttering something.
Ning Fan calmed himself down and closed his eyes, trying to forget everything in front of him. Then, he entered a

non-self
[2]
state.
The ninety-sixth day arrived. Then, the ninety-seventh… On the one hundred and fourteenth day, Ning Fan seemed to have become one with the heavenly Dao. He finally could listen to that voice clearly.

The souls of pill refinement cultivators were born in heaven and earth and they travelled from the past to the present.


The Dao of Pills is a reverse path. It seizes the fortunes of Heaven. That is why Heaven relinquishes it.


If one does not have the resolve to seize Heaven, they can never transform their souls. And they will not succeed in the Dao of Pills!

This voice reverberated in Ning Fan’s Sea of Consciousness for a long time. Then, Ning Fan opened his eyes suddenly. His eyes were solemn and determined, as if he had discovered a new insight.
Pills were products that were created using the heavenly ingredients and earthly treasures combined with the spiritual power of heaven and earth. By seizing the fortunes of heaven and earth, cultivators could increase their cultivation levels and possess the strength to defy Heaven. Therefore, speaking from this sense, the Dao of Pills was a path that was against Heaven.
In order to successfully make a Sixth Revolution Pill, a Sixth Revolution Pill Refinement Master would need to seize the resources from heaven and earth.
Thus, if a pill refinement master did not have the determination to go against Heaven, they definitely could not break through to that level.
But what did it mean by transforming one’s soul…?
Could it be that when a person attains the Sixth Revolution Pill Refinement Realm, they would need to transform their medicine souls into other forms like what Venerated Pill did?
If that was the case, what Ning Fan’s medicine soul should turn into…?

The Sixth Revolution is like Heaven. Then, I will seize Heaven! However, how should I do that…? How do I transform my medicine soul into another form…?

Ning Fan closed his eyes, forgetting about the passage of time.
Suddenly, a scene appeared before his eyes.
There was once a butterfly which was not afraid of the astral wind and flew to the Heavenly Court with its mortal body.
There was once a butterfly which did not fear an immortal emperor. It sacrificed its butterfly body in order to destroy one of that immortal emperor’s eyes.
There was once a butterfly which had no fear for Heaven!

I was… a butterfly…
Ning Fan opened his eyes. His medicine soul power which was as dark as ink suddenly gushed out from his body like a vast black ocean and filled heaven and earth.
When Ning Fan willed it, his black medicine soul power turned into millions of black butterflies.
He rose to his feet. His snow-white robes made him stand out conspicuously among the massive flock of butterflies.
His eyes were as deep as the ocean. He now had full confidence that he could achieve the breakthrough to the Sixth Revolution Pill Refinement Realm this time!

I want… the Sixth Revolution!

The barrier that was preventing his medicine soul from advancing into the Sixth Revolution literally broke at this moment when his medicine soul turned into butterflies. There was no longer any force stopping him from attaining the breakthrough.
When the heavenly Dao power fell upon him, the millions of black butterflies which his medicine soul transformed into danced in the air and soared upwards. Each of them darted into the heavenly Dao power, literally crushing the heavenly Dao power by sacrificing themselves!
At this moment, what kind of determination would be crazier than that of the butterfly in his previous life?
He did not have a unique physique. Neither did he have unmatched foresight and wisdom. However, he had this resolve that even an immortal emperor or Heaven could not stop or suppress!
Bang
A powerful pitch-black medicine soul carrying Low Grade Sixth Revolution aura force dispersed from Ning Fan’s body.
He turned into a ray of light and flew upwards rapidly. He dashed past the sixth level, the fifth level… the first level and eventually went out of the Soul Washing Pond. As he stood in midair, his aura force swept across the entire Pill Island!
At this moment, countless black butterflies mysteriously appeared on the island.
Some low grade pill refinement cultivators did not understand the appearance of such an unusual phenomenon. As for the pill cultivators who had extensive knowledge, they had already sensed the terror of those black butterflies.
The black butterflies were actually transformed by a medicine soul!
And the qi of this medicine soul belonged to Ning Fan! This power had reached the standard of the Low Grade Sixth Revolution!

Gosh! Revered Ming’s pill refinement realm has really broken through to the Sixth Revolution. This is just too unexpected!
Countless cultivators of Pill Island cried out in surprise.
Su Yan and Ming Que were cultivating in their own rooms. When they sensed this familiar medicine soul qi, the both of them smiled at the same time.
They had always believed that Ning Fan could attain the Sixth Revolution Pill Refinement Realm… He had indeed done it!
From today onwards, he would be the eighth Sixth Revolution Pill Refinement Realm of Rain World.
From today onwards, even Void Fragmentation Realm old monsters had to be polite to him because of his identity as a Sixth Revolution Pill Refinement Master!
Four months flew by. Venerated Pill had already recovered twenty to thirty percent from his injuries. He was having his seclusion in his stone chamber to heal his injuries.
When he sensed that every part of Pill Island was full of black butterflies, his eyes were filled with amazement. He was much more surprised than anyone on the island!
Not only did he feel that Ning Fan had attained the Sixth Revolution Pill Refinement Realm, but also discovered that Ning Fan’s medicine soul aura force had become unimaginably strong. It even made his dragon form medicine soul shiver slightly in fear!
Even though the butterflies were weak and small, they had an extremely stubborn and unstoppable madness!
What astonished Venerated Pill the most was that Ning Fan’s medicine soul power was at least thirty percent stronger than his even though he had just broken through to the Low Grade Sixth Revolution!

He has just attained the Sixth Revolution but his medicine soul has actually become so powerful!?

Regardless of his injuries, Venerated Pill turned into a ray of light and went out of his stone chamber in awe.
Just as he soared into the sky, he saw Ning Fan standing in midair. The both of them exchanged glances.

Fellow Daoist, are you willing to swap some battle soul techniques with this old man…?
Venerated Pill gritted his teeth. He wanted to find out whether or not Ning Fan’s medicine soul was thirty percent stronger than his…

Your injuries…
Ning Fan said with concern.

These are just some physical injuries… We are just using our medicine souls to fight. Therefore, it won’t aggravate these physical injuries! Fellow Daoist, please exchange battle soul techniques with me!
Venerated Pill insisted.

Alright!

Ning Fan also did not want to reject Venerated Pill’s request. Immediately, he moved one thousand zhang (3.33m per zhang) away and stood facing the latter.
He also wanted to find out how strong his medicine soul had become after breaking through to the Sixth Revolution.
Venerated Pill patted his head and his soul transformed into a black dragon which spat out fierce black flames at Ning Fan.
Ning Fan’s eyes scanned across the flames and became as cold as lightning instantly. His black medicine soul rushed out from his body, transforming into millions of black butterflies. His aura force gave Venerated Pill a jolt.

Incinerate!

Ning Fan just muttered a single word. However, every butterfly lit up themselves in flames and flew at the black dragon.
Each of the butterflies had an unstoppable persistence. They were wild enough to compete with the entire world!
Bang
The black dragon collided against countless black butterflies. The outcome was the black dragon being literally obliterated while there was still half of the entire group of butterflies all over the sky!
Venerated Pill’s eyes widened in shock. Through this exchange, he surprisingly realized that Ning Fan’s medicine soul was not just thirty percent stronger than his. In fact, Ning Fan’s medicine soul was twice as strong as his!

Only those pill refinement masters who were on the verge of breaking through to the Mid Grade Sixth Revolution will possess such powerful medicine soul… Could it be that this young man’s medicine soul is already comparable to those pill refinement masters who are at Half-Step Mid Grade Sixth Revolution even though he has just attained the Sixth Revolution Pill Refinement Realm?! What a terrifying innate talent he has in pill refinement!

Venerated Pill’s eyes flashed with a hint of dejection. It was the helplessness of completely losing to Ning Fan.
Even though he had expected that Ning Fan would surpass him after breaking through to the Sixth Revolution, he did not imagine that Ning Fan would exceed him so much.
Countless cultivators of Pill Island who were witnessing that battle of medicine souls between the two of them were flabbergasted.
Their island lord, the pill refinement grandmaster who was ranked seventh out of countless pill refinement cultivators in Rain World, was actually completely defeated by Ning Fan in terms of medicine soul power?!

Master…


Brother Biscuit!

Su Yan and Ming Que flew into the sky one after another. Both of them wore a happy and excited look on their faces.
The reason they were happy was certainly because Ning Fan had attained the Sixth Revolution Pill Refinement Realm.
However, Ning Fan’s keen senses still managed to detect a hint of worry in their expressions.
Before Ning Fan could even talk to the two of them, Venerated Pill made a sigh suddenly.

Sigh Originally, Fellow Daoist’s new breakthrough should have been a delightful matter. But there is a bad news that I need to tell you…


Bad news?


Mm. During the four months when you were in the pond, I received Dong Xu and Ju Qing’s message-transmitting flying sword from the Giant Devil Clan. They were asking me to lend them a hand… I’m afraid that the Giant Devil Clan has encountered some trouble.


The Giant Devil Clan has faced some trouble!?
Ning Fan’s eyes were filled with concern. The joy and happiness he felt after achieving the breakthrough dissipated.
Xu Qiuling, Yue Lingkong and Fen Chi were still at the Giant Devil Clan. If the clan had faced trouble, would the three of them be in danger? And there was still his little sister-in-law, Feng Xueyan…

You don’t have to worry. Although the Giant Devil Clan encountered some trouble, it isn’t a crisis of life and death…
Venerated Pill wanted to continue but he hesitated in the next second.

Please tell me what exactly has happened to the Giant Devil Clan.
Ning Fan’s expression became slightly less tense after hearing that it was not a life and death crisis.
That’s right. Anyhow, the Giant Devil Clan still had the Eight Ancestors protecting them from the shadow. And Yue Lingkong was a Void Refinement Realm. The Giant Devil Clan would not face a life and death crisis at all unless it was a Void Fragmentation Realm expert who wanted to attack them.
Other than a madman like Ning Fan, there was not a single cultivator below the Void Fragmentation Realm who could suppress the four devil clans of the hidden ocean.
Besides, it was obvious that the Void Fragmentation Realm old monsters were busy in their own cultivations. It was impossible for them to be interested in the Giant Devil Clan.

The trouble that the Giant Devil Clan is facing is only related to a single person… Now, there are countless forces of the internal sea gathering at the Giant Devil Clan to request for that person…


Who’s it?


The daughter of Ju Qing, Feng Xueyan! There are rumors which claim that Feng Xueyan is the devil concubine of the Giant Devil Clan and she has the ability to decipher the scripture on the devil slate. Moreover, the Giant Devil Clan is rumored to have one piece of the devil statue slates… Countless forces gathered at the clan, threatening Ju Qing to hand over his beloved daughter and the devil slate.


The ability to decipher the devil statue slate!?
Ning Fan was so angry that he laughed.
He had extracted the devil qi of the four devil slates and became an ancient devil. The slates were already useless.
It’s laughable that there were still people who were completely in the dark fighting against each other over the slates. Now, they even went to cause trouble to Feng Xueyan.
Someone really did not know their place. Even with his toe, Ning Fan could guess that the Ghost Eye Clan and King Lan Ling definitely had a hand in it.
After all, they were the two forces who were the most eager to get the slates and decipher them in the internal sea.
As for the other minor forces, they certainly did not have the slightest idea that there were still eight ancestors who would not die of old age behind the Giant Devil Clan’s back. They probably just wanted to get a small share out of this by following the majority.
Be it the eight ancestors of the Giant Devil Clan, King Ling Lan or Marquis You Gui, none of them was good.
Ning Fan could not wait to find out how terrified those people would be when he set foot in the Giant Devil Clan with his current cultivation realm!
As for Feng Xueyan, he without a doubt would keep her safe!
He wanted to find out who dares to lay a finger on her when he was around!

[1] Liancheng Pill (Chinese: 连城丹) Pinyin: lián chéng dān) For Lian (连 lián), it can be an adverb, a verb, an adjective, a noun or even a preposition. In this context, I think it’s verb and adjective meaning is much more suited. As a verb, it means connect, link or join. As an adjective, it means connecting. For cheng (城chéng), it means a city or town.
[2] Non-self (Chinese: 无我 Pinyin: wú wǒ) I discovered that this should be a term used in Buddhism. This doctrine means that there is no unchanging, permanent self, soul, or essence in phenomena. In my own perspective, I think it basically means forgetting about yourself completely. You can find out more on Wikipedia.
