The Strongest System - Chapter 300

Chapter 300: Just A Punch

p>”Holy sh*t! Flying with this Roc is simply a big scam!”

Just then, two shadows appeared on Nameless Peak.

To think that they had expended so many resources to summon this Roc, just for it to flap its wings a few times, fly through the voids, and dump the both of them right here and nothing else.

What kind of a lousy deal was that? But on the bright side, at least the Roc was pretty speedy. In the blink of an eye, they had already arrived at Glory Sect. Hopefully, everything was fine.

However, when Lin Fan started to survey his surroundings, his face changed immediately.

“Brother Lin, this…!” Xinfeng had yet to recover entirely from the amazement of the Roc. However, when he saw Brother Lin’s stoned expression, he was taken aback. Looking around at the desolate state of Nameless Peak, Xinfeng’s expression turned grim as well.

Could it be all too late?

“Ergou! Where are you guys…!!!” Lin Fan’s relaxed mood had disappeared entirely. What replaced it was a look of total anxiousness.

When he caught sight of a body laying nearby, his face turned pale as well.

That was…Mie Qiongqi!

Mie Qiongqi laid in a pool of blood, his life and death indeterminate. And just as Lin Fan stepped up to check it out, a breeze blew by. A pink fabric blew by.

His blood turned cold.

His right hand trembling, he picked it up.

This was a pouch…

This was his own disciple’s pouch…!

Having lost every bit of his consciousness, Mie Qiongqi suddenly regained a final brief moment of lucidity before death. Briefly opening his eyes and looking at the figure standing before him, he could barely breathe out the words, “Mas…ter…”

“Mie Qiongqi! Where are the others…!” Lin Fan asked him hurriedly. But Mie Qiongqi lost his consciousness before he could even reply.

“Brother Lin, his injuries look extremely grave. If he isn’t treated in time, he’s going to die at this rate.” Stepping forth and checking Mie Qiongqi’s body, Xinfeng said.

Suddenly, a horrifying aura emanated from the main hall in the distance.

Lin Fan grit his teeth, his face fiercer than ever before. A ball of fire was burning in rage within his heart.

“Brother Lin…” Xinfeng had wanted to say something, but before he could do so, he caught sight of Lin Fan, and his heart stopped for a moment.

Lin Fan’s broken left arm was regenerating rapidly.

This was a horrifying aura that was emanating from the main hall area.

However, what was even more horrifying right now was the aura that was being emitted from Lin Fan.

BOOM!

The whole Nameless Peak started vibrating continuously.

Lin Fan’s right fist clenched really, really tightly. Already fused with the Eternal Arm, the aura of his right hand exploded with a boundless amount of energy.

Lin Fan disappeared instantly from the spot as he dashed towards the main hall.

…

Zhang Ergou was hugging on tightly to his dear little junior sister. The aura in the skies was simply too strong. It felt like it locked on to them without any room for escape.

“Urgh…”

And what was even more devastating for the Glory Sect disciples was the fact that the Grandmaster and the others were coughing out blood. The chains that were starting to fuse in the skies had disappeared entirely.

“I told you so. Given your situation, there’s no way you can fuse those energy grid line chains. Just wait there quietly for your deaths.” Looking at Yan Hongyu and the others, Han Yongyi let out a cruel smile.

Yan Hongyu and the other elders sat down crippled on the ground, their breathing was even weaker right now.

Over. It was all over.

“Grandmaster…!” Looking at the Grandmaster, Senior Elder Wuya shook his head with a broken heart. There was no longer any hope left.

All the disciples of Glory Sect were breaking down right now. They were getting closer to death by the second.

“Well, little one. You can go and die now.” Laughing coldly, that palm strike of boundless powers descended down upon the skies.

Zhang Ergou’s face was white as a sheet. He could sense the terror of this single palm strike. Hugging on to his little junior sister tightly, he shut his eyes tightly in the face of death.

“MASTER, ERGOU CAN NO LONGER SERVE YOU…!” Zhang Ergou screamed at the top of his lungs in despair.

“BIG SENIOR BROTHER…!” Laying in a pool of blood, Feng Bujue and Tian Yu struggled to raise their hands. Their hands could only tremble as they struggled to reach even that inch closer to Zhang Ergou. But it was all no use. They had no strength right now.

Everyone else in Glory Sect closed their eyes in the face of hopeless despair. This was going to be a massacre.

Yan Hongyu and the other elders could only feel their hearts being ripped apart.

“WHO DARES TO TOUCH MY PEOPLE…!”

And just then, a single roar of wrath rang through the skies. This roar was so strong that the entire Heavens seemed to be shaking from it.

BOOM!

A loud explosion ensued.

Lin Fan’s speed surpassed everything else right now. Appearing before Zhang Ergou, he threw out a punch and completely negated the oncoming attack.

When Zhang Ergou heard this voice, he opened his eyes momentarily. Looking at the back view in front of him, he could not help but roar out emotionally.

“MASTER…!!!”

The young, little broken and fragile soul, Cai Zhiqiao bawled at the top of her voice as well upon seeing who it was. She could not stop crying out for her master as well.

“It’s Junior Master Lin…!”

“Junior Master Lin’s back to save us!”

“Junior Master Lin…!!!”

Looking at that familiar back view, all the disciples of Glory Sect erupted out in emotional shouts as well.

Looking at who it was, Grandmaster Yan and the other Senior Elders could not believe their eyes as well. To think that the long-gone Lin Fan would return right at this very moment!

Looking at Zhang Ergou and Cai Zhiqiao safe and sound, Lin Fan’s heaved a sigh of relief as well.

“Master…!” Laying in their pools of blood, Feng Bujue and Tian Yu called out feebly. Hope began to rise like a bubble in their desolate hearts.

Lin Fan nodded his head. It was good, it was all fine now. As long as they were fine, that was all that mattered right now.

In his heart, the Saint Devil Sect was the most important thing to him. He would not allow anyone to trample on this home in his heart.

“Lin Fan, you…” When Senior Elder Wuya felt this horrifying aura that was emanating from Lin Fan, his heart skipped a beat.

Looking at the weakened masses, Lin Fan stepped forth.

“Leave it all to me. You guys just watch carefully.” He told everyone before turning his gaze up to the skies.

To the Glory Sect disciples, Lin Fan’s back view was especially sturdy and dependable right now. With his hair being lifted by a gentle breeze, Lin Fan’s mighty figure was extremely bedazzling.

“Whoever comes at me today shall die.” Lin Fan’s eyes gleamed with boundless light as he gazed straight at the figures in the skies.

“Hmph. Big words there. Fair enough. Since you came courting death, you have no one else to blame for it.” Looking at Lin Fan, Han Yongyi’s face let loose a cold smile.

Waving his hand, a Senior Elder behind him with a vicious looking face darted towards Lin Fan.

“Be careful, Junior Master Lin…!” Looking at the scene before them, the Glory Sect disciples shouted out in worry.

Yan Hongyu and the others were extremely worried as well. All of these were greater celestial full cultivation beings who possessed immense powers.

Even though Lin Fan was back right now and this reignited a bit of hope within them, this was only a thin thread of hope. Against these many people, what he could do seemed to be limited as well.

“Hais, you shouldn’t…!” Wuya sighed and shook his head. Perhaps this was truly the end of Glory Sect’s lineage today.

However, just as the thought crossed Wuya’s mind, he was stumped completely by the scene that unfolded before him.

It wasn’t just he who was stumped. Everyone from Glory Sect. Every single person from top to bottom, was stumped for words.

BOOM!

A punch… Just a single punch.

The Senior Elder from Jiuxiao Sect who had descended from the skies lost his entire head with a single punch from Junior Master Lin. Suddenly, the sky turned silent. Everyone held their breaths as their hearts could not stop thumping.

“Ah…!”

After that momentary silent, the entire skies erupted with cheers.

Chapter 301: We…Won!

p>”Did you guys…see that?!? Junior Master Lin is simply too strong!” A disciple shouted exclaimed out excitedly.

“I saw it! I saw it!” Some of the other disciples in could only stare wide-eyed at this, speechless.

“Power be to Junior Master Lin…!”

“Long life to Junior Master Lin…!”

To these disciples who had barely grazed through death’s door, Lin Fan’s blazing punch had completely given them hope for life once more.

Zhang Ergou and the others were equally stumped as well. Since when did their Master turn THIS strong?!? Blowing off the head of a greater celestial full cultivation being with just a single punch?!? That was bloody terrifying!

“Since when did this lad turn this overpowered…?” Senior Elder Wuya mumbled in disbelief. Grandmaster Yan looked at Lin Fan with equally shocked eyes. He could feel the horror of that single punch. If he himself was in the position of that man, he might end up in the same state.

Towards that, Grandmaster Yan felt a little dampened. If only Lin Fan had returned earlier…

Hais.

But Yan Hongyu shook his head right after. How were there so many things in this world which could go the way they willed it to?

‘Ding…congratulations on killing greater celestial full cultivation being.’

‘Ding…experience points +800,000,000.’

…

Tossing the corpse in his storage sack, Lin Fan then looked up once more.

Han Yongyi was frowning right now. That had not gone the way he had expected it to. Behind him, the other Senior Elders shuddered momentarily as well. They could feel the horror seeping within them. Even though that punch looked to be extremely normal, they could sense an unstoppable force that was surging through it.

Lin Fan could see through Han Yongyi right now. That black mist that was coiling around his body resembled what happened to Liang Yichu. He was taken over by something. But Lin Fan could not make out what it was.

But none of these mattered to Lin Fan. After all, all of them must die.

“Not bad, lad, not bad…” Han Yongyi gave off a cold laugh without a single bit of fear. However, just as he did that, something shocking happened.

“I don’t wish to waste my time talking anymore. All of you can go and die.” Lin Fan glared at Han Yongyi coldly before throwing out a punch.

Suddenly, a massive amount of energy erupted from Lin Fan’s body. The energy from his right arm collided non-stop with the void around it. Small explosions occurred around Lin Fan’s right arm as he passed through the sky. Those black sutras gave off a gleaming bright light.

“Go and die…!” Lin Fan roared in anger. His single fist was enough to destroy the Heavens as he caused the void around him to rip apart destructively.

Feeling this massive energy surging towards them, the Senior Elders behind Han Yongyi’s back were turning pale as well.

“Insolent…!” Han Yongyi yelled out in anger as well. All the dark energy he had taken within his body was now being released as he was covered in denser and denser black mist. This aura was frightening to behold.

Lin Fan’s fist approached. That overpowering fist shone brightly, bathed in a golden light. This was a fist that was infused with both True Energy and the power of the energy grid lines, strong enough to wreck the entire Heavens.

Roaring in anger, Han Yongyi used both of his hands to defend against the punch. However, he realized in horror that he could not block it entirely.

BOOM!

That mighty fist was unstoppable, holding onto Han Yongyi within it in an instant.

“Argh…!”

A tragic cry rang out from the chaotic skies.

All the Glory Sect disciples looked up into the skies, wondering what was happening within that mess.

Grandmaster Yan and the others were also looking at the sky in equal shock. They could feel the immense amount of energy within that single punch, causing their hearts to be thumping right now.

Lin Fan stood there looking coldly. He could not help but raise his evaluation of Han Yongyi.

To think that he could still survive that single punch.

“Argh…impossible…!” Han Yongyi’s voice permeated through the skies. As the bright light started clearing, all the disciples looking up at the skies could not help but gasp.

Like the incarnation of a demon lord, that mighty Han Yongyi had lost half of his body with that single blow. Fresh blood was spraying down from the sky, and the scene was extremely gory to behold.

Lin Fan frowned. Seemed like he had to take note of his limits from now on. If he were to blow the other half of the body apart as well, then he would have nothing to smelt out of it anymore.

Yan Hongyu and the others were just stumped beyond words right now. To think that Lin Fan would grow to such a level…!

“Ah…! Junior Master Lin is too strong!”

“Junior Master Lin, kill him!”

‘Glory be to Junior Master Lin…!”

“Thank goodness Junior Master Lin is around, or we’d be dead right now!”

While cheering, all the Glory Sect disciples could not help but feel relieved as well. This was too close for comfort! Too close!

“Grandmaster…!” The numerous Senior Elders of the Jiuxiao Sect looked in horror as the blood in the faces was draining rapidly. To think that the invincible Grandmaster they revered would have half of his body blown off with a single strike! How was that possible?!?

They wanted to run, but something horrifying happened in that instant.

Leaping from where he was, Lin Fan appeared right before them.

“Hmph, since you guys came, all of you shall stay here then.”

Piak!

With a single slap, a Senior Elder of Jiuxiao Sect cried out in agony before dropping down from the skies heavily.

‘Ding…congratulations on killing greater celestial full cultivation being.’

‘Ding…experience points +800,000,000.’

‘Ding…congratulations on leveling up.’

‘Lesser celestial middle level. (10,000,000/3,000,000,000).’

…

“Wow! Look at Junior Master Lin! He killed that person with a single palm slap!”

“Junior Master Lin is too domineering!”

“Ha! Kill off Glory Sect? Do you guys have what it takes with Junior Master Lin around?!?”

Looking at the bodies dropping down from the skies one by one, the Glory Sect disciples were exhilarated beyond words. They felt like their hearts could explode from this excitement right now.

“To think that Junior Master Lin would be strong to this extent!” Zong Hentian stared dumbfoundedly at the bodies dropping down from the skies one by one. He had entered a petrified state of shock as well.

Lu Yan gripped his fist tightly. He had wanted to prove to this man that it was his mistake for not selecting him in the past. However, looking at what was happening right now, he had realized that it was all wishful thinking on his own part. How laughable his earlier thoughts seemed right now.

All the Jialan Peak disciples were filled with emotion right now. On the one hand, they were extremely heartbroken that their Peak master had died. But on the other hand, they were extremely riled up watching these people who had caused the death of their master fall one by one.

“Don’t kill me…!” One of the Senior Elders of Jiuxiao Sect was shivering from head to toe, looking at the sight of this person that was even more like a death god than a death god itself.

“Hmph. To think that you’re a greater celestial being. Even your sect’s disciples had more guts. You ought to die!” Lin Fan replied in disdain.

Piak!

Yet another slap and the Jiuxiao Sect’s Senior Elder swung down towards the ground like a kite broken off from its thread.

‘Ding…congratulations on leveling up.’

‘Lesser celestial upper level. (100,000,000/4,000,000,000).’

After killing off all the Senior Elders, Lin Fan turned around and looked straight at Han Yongyi.

“You’re the only one left now. I’ve got to see just how much capability you’ve got now to destroy MY Glory Sect.” Lin Fan hollered in anger. That overbearing presence of Lin Fan repressed Han Yongyi’s heart with immense pressure.

“Grandmaster…!” Just then, Xinfeng ran over from the distance. Looking at that figure in the skies, he did not know what to feel as well.

“HAHA! You wanna kill me? Not so easy…! I shall have the entire Glory Sect accompany me in my burial today!” Screaming in rage, a black mist surged up into the skies as a sinister aura let loose from his body.

“He wants to self-destruct!” Looking at what was happening, Senior Elder Wuya exclaimed out in shock.

“HAHA…! Don’t think that you can win! Everyone in the Xuanhuang World must die…!” Han Yongyi continued with his maddened cries. He had reached the epitome of his aura, ready to explode at any moment.

“Hmph. Dumbfck…!” Lin Fan snorted coldly before flashing over to Han Yongyi’s side.

“You…!” Han Yongyi glared at Lin Fan with unbelievable hatred.

“Go and self-destruct on your own.” Lin Fan touched Han Yongyi’s half body and continued shouting.

“Get the fck into my Heaven and Earth Smelt!”

And just like that, Han Yongyi’s body disappeared miraculously from the skies without a single trace left. Standing from the skies, Lin Fan looked down at the entire Glory Sect and opened his arms wide.

“We…won…!”

One by one, these words spread through the ears of the Glory Sect disciples. Everyone followed with a cheer.

“WE WON…!!!”

The disciples were hugging one another and crying out emotionally. They had thought that they would die right then and there. To think that Junior Master Lin would appear and turn the tides.

…

Chapter 302: Momentary Peace Before The Great Calamity

p>‘Ding…congratulations on killing greater celestial full cultivation being.’

‘Ding…experience points +1,500,000,000’

‘Ding…congratulations on smelting 16 energy grid line chains.’

Lin Fan did not expect that Han Yongyi’s energy grid line chains had reached an astonishing number of 16. No wonder Glory Sect nearly fell to this man. With his sneak attack on Grandmaster Yan, he just single-handedly held down the entire Glory Sect right after.

Lin Fan looked around at the fellow disciples. Some of them were agitated while others sorrowed. Lin Fan let out a sigh as well. Even though he still made it in time, there were still casualties of war who could not be saved.

“Master…!” Looking at Lin Fan, Zhang Ergou cried emotionally.

Lin Fan nodded his head before reaching down to fondle Cai Zhiqiao’s little head as well.

“Master, please hurry and save the junior brothers!” Zhang Ergou carried on hurriedly.

Lin Fan came before Tian Yu and Feng Bujue and checked out their wounds. While deadly, at least they still had a single breath left within them.

Now that the lifeforce of the Mythical Parasol Tree had been used once by him, he couldn’t use it as abundantly as he’d like to right now. But to bring some of it out into cultivating some pills should be possible.

Opening his palm, medicinal herbs started to float onto his palm.

‘Pills Through Thought.’

One by one, the medicinal herbs danced within the flame on his palm. After that, a large number of pills flew out from it. Taking two of them out, he fed them to Tian Yu and Feng Bujue. The effect was good indeed, as the two disciples took a turn for the better gradually.

The Mythical Parasol Tree was a godly object indeed.

“Ergou, hurry and take this pill over for Mie Qiongqi.” Lin Fan ordered.

“Yes!” Zhang Ergou nodded.

“Master, please save Whitey and Sister Gong!” Zhiqiao cried out.

Lin Fan looked at the Snow Lion in Cai Zhiqiao’s embrace. It was injured pretty badly, but it was fine because beasts had a strong lifeforce to begin with. Additionally, the bloodline of the Snow Lion was starting to show signs of it returning to its ancient roots, increasing the lifeforce even further. Lin Fan then placed a pill within its mouth, allowing the cub to slowly recover.

“Sister Gong?” Upon hearing this, Lin Fan was puzzled for a moment, wondering just who this Sister Gong was. But looking at the person laying in a pool of blood, Lin Fan took a second take.

Why was this person so familiar looking?

That was right! It was that fella from the Mo City!

But how did this person end up in the Glory Sect? Furthermore, how was she so chummy with Zhiqiao right now?

Lin Fan’s brain was tinkering nonstop. Could it be that this person had smuggled into Glory Sect based on his identity and some made up story to make use of the sect for her own profits?

Thinking this, he contemplated whether or not to save her. Perhaps he should just lie to Zhiqiao. After all, a momentary pain was better than keeping a wolf in their own midst.

“Master, please hurry up and save Sister Gong! I’m only okay because she pushed me away!” Looking at Whitey beginning to recover, Cai Zhiqiao’s mood improved slightly. However, she was still extremely sad over Sister Gong’s state.

Lin Fan nodded his head and fondled Cai Zhiqiao’s head. Forget it, he would save her first before asking her to leave the sect.

He looked down at Gong Bingye’s peerlessly beautiful face. She was pale as a sheet right now. That petite body of hers was filled with a hole that pierced through her body entirely. In fact, he could even see her internal organs moving.

‘Seems like you’ve got pretty good luck indeed for the wound to have missed your vital organs.’ Lin Fan could not help but praise her good luck. It was just that close a shave.

After placing a pill in her mouth, Cai Zhiqiao stayed by her side to keep guard over her.

Lin Fan then came over to Grandmaster Yan and the other Senior Elders to hand them the pills.

“This will help your wounds recover faster.”

Receiving the pill, Grandmaster Yan shook his head gently, “Hais, it’s no use. Our wounds are too…”

Before he could even continue, he was astonished. To think that the lifeforce of this pill would be so strong! That was entirely unthinkable!

This could put up a strong fight with those godly pills that were made just for recovery of injuries!

But Lin Fan had barely put in any effort into making these! How could he have produced such miraculous pills within such a short period of time?

Could it be that the herbs he used were valuable beyond measures? But that was not the case either. They had seen the herbs he used; they were all ordinary. Even the most precious amongst them was a mere Linghua Plant.

Unable to understand at all, all of them swallowed the pills eventually. As the lifeforce spread out within their bodies, their injuries began to heal gradually.

“Just what sort of adventures have you been up to outside all this while, lad! Goodness, haven’t you grown way too fast?” Senior Elder Wuya’s pale face began to flush back with redness. Towards Lin Fan’s strength right now, he was just beyond surprised.

To think that he had saved Lin Fan from his grave injuries obtained in Cangling Continent… And that was just half a year ago.

In just a mere 6 months, he had grown to this terrifying state?

“Hais, so what if I’ve grown stronger? I’ve still caused the sect to sustain some considerable losses.” Lin Fan said regrettably.

“Hais, junior sister…” Thinking back of their junior sister of Jialan Peak’s death, all of them shook their heads in pain.

“What happened?” Lin Fan asked.

Wuya shook his head and related the news of Jialan Peak’s Senior Elder’s death to Lin Fan. After hearing it, Lin Fan was silent as well as he looked over at the Jialan Peak disciples.

Mu Bingyan’s dazed expression was especially heart wrenching.

Lin Fan walked towards the direction of the Jialan Peak disciples. Some of the female disciples who caught sight of Lin Fan greeted him as Junior Master courteously.

Lin Fan nodded his head to each greeting in acknowledgment before he finally came to Mu Bingyan.

“My condolences. Jialan Peak will depend on you from now on.” Lin Fan did not know what else he could say, but he could empathize with this same pain of losing a dear one.

“Yes, thank you Junior Master.” Mu Bingyan nodded her head. Lin Fan could tell that there were still tears waiting to flow out from her eyes. But as the Peak Master of Jialan Peak right now, she knew that she had to be strong for the others.

“If there’s anything you require in the future, feel free to look for me at Nameless Peak.” This was all that Lin Fan could say. As for the path in the future, it all depended on Mu Bingyan herself.

But Lin Fan knew that this event would cause changes within Glory Sect from top down. This would serve as motivation for every single disciple in the sect to work and push themselves even harder.

In the face of absolute power, all of them now knew how helpless and minuscule they were.

Lin Fan was no longer concerned with matters like being the strongest person within the sect. The main issue now was to get to the bottom of all these events.

…

For Glory Sect, the events this time around might be a great impact, but to Xinfeng, it was practically a hard knock on his head. It was such a tough knock that he did not even know what the future held anymore.

“Brother Feng.” Looking at the dumbfounded Xinfeng standing quietly at one side, Lin Fan did not know what he should say either.

“It’s okay, Brother Lin. I understand.” Xinfeng nodded his head. He knew that this was Jiuxiao Sect’s own tribulation.

“From this day on, Jiuxiao Sect would have to depend on you.” Lin Fan knew that after the events this time around, Jiuxiao Sect would most likely fall from their place as a top sect into one of the inferior sects.

This would be an immense blow to any single sect: having all their strongest powerhouses slain overnight.

For the Jiuxiao Sect of today, Xinfeng was most probably the strongest person within right now. But with just that strength of his, it would be tough for anyone to sustain the entire sect.

“I know. No matter what, I would not allow Jiuxiao Sect to perish just like that. I’ll stay strong. But all I want to know is why the Grandmaster had turned that way.” Xinfeng could not figure out how his respectable Grandmaster had turned as such.

“All I can tell you is that they’ve been devoured by a sinister dark force. However, I do not know the true source of it as well. But, I will continue my search for the true origins of this matter.” Lin Fan replied.

“Yes, Brother Lin. I’ll be heading back to the sect then. As long as Jiuxiao Sect does not perish, we will take responsibility for this matter in the future.” Xinfeng was feeling slightly heartened. At least his Grandmaster was still the person he had remembered in his heart. He had only turned this way under the influence of a dark being. Otherwise, this would be a terrible blow for Xinfeng’s heart.

“Remember to let me know if you need anything.” Lin Fan patted Xinfeng’s shoulders.

“Yes.”

…

After Xinfeng left, Glory Sect entered a state of restructuring as well.

The construction Earth Demons began their hard work. As for the disciples who had died in the war, their bodies were buried as well. All of them had died protecting the sect. As such, their tablets would be placed in the sect’s Hall of Glory.

This was the final bit of recognition Glory Sect could accord them.

…

Chapter 303: Totally Envious

p>Nameless Peak…

Lin Fan and the others were standing still, looking at the scene before them in wonder.

Just what the hell was going on?

Mie Qiongqi’s body was floating in midair. An energy grid line chain swam around his body. Entering the void from one side of his body, it reappeared on the other side. Coiling round and round, it went on and on.

“Ergou, what happened?” Lin Fan asked in confusion at the scene before him.

Zhang Ergou shook his head, equally stumped, “Master, I’ve got no idea too. All I did was feed the pill to Junior Brother! Immediately after that, a violent whirlpool erupted from within him, coiling him up. He has been floating up in midair ever since.’

Zhang Ergou was nearly scared to death as well, thinking that he might have harmed his Junior Brother. Even though Junior Brother Mie may have been cold to most people, Zhang Ergou could tell that that was just how he was on the outside. He was actually really warm on the inside. Just the way he sacrificed himself to rescue their little junior sister was enough for anyone to tell.

This aura was really damn strong…!

Lin Fan frowned. The aura being emitted from Mie Qiongqi was really strong. It was as though a mysterious force was surging through his body.

As for the energy grid line chain, it was slowly wrapping itself onto Mie Qiongqi’s body.

Bloody hell, he had just left for a short while. How did this happen in such a short period of time? To think that he was walloped to his last breath moments earlier, and yet now, he was crossing such a huge bottleneck!

“Evidently, Senior Brother Mie is undergoing a breakthrough! But how is he still unconscious right now?” Tian Yu was frowning as well. This was the first time he was seeing such a situation.

But Lin Fan knew that the skill Mie Qiongqi carried was an absurdly overpowered one.

‘Unkillable Indestructible.’

Just the name itself was tell-tale of how bullsht this skill was. Lin Fan wanted to learn this skill for himself as well. Unfortunately, Mie Qiongqi was the only one who knew how to cultivate it, but he was unable to teach it.

Towards this, Lin Fan was pretty frustrated as well. Seemed like this was a skill that might be dedicated to a single person. But oh well, Mie Qiongqi was a disciple of Saint Devil Sect after all. No matter what, he was Lin Fan’s own.

What Saint Devil Sect lacked right now was someone strong to hold the fort.

And Mie Qiongqi was exactly the guy with the potential to do so.

Suddenly, a massive aura erupted from Mie Qiongqi, causing everyone’s heart to reverberate. The void around him turned chaotic beyond measure.

“Kill…!”

Mie Qiongqi shouted out fiercely with a domineering force. That single ‘kill’ word seemed to possess a thousand emotions within it. The faces of Zhang Ergou and the other disciples changed immediately. Within their consciousness, dozens of images began to appear.

Lin Fan coughed gently. Within Mie Qiongqi’s ‘kill’ word was a strong mental aura. Those with a weak cultivation base would find themselves immersed in a series of hallucinations.

In a daze, Zhang Ergou and the others finally sobered up with Lin Fan’s thunder like cough rumbling within their consciousness.

“Master, is Junior Brother Mie alright?” Zhang Ergou asked worriedly. Just what were those images in his consciousness just now? He was nearly lost within those hallucinations of the killing aura.

“He’s alright, but you guys were nearly not. Alright, let him continue to shout on his own. All of you go and move out to let the Earth Demons repair our place.” Lin Fan replied.

“Oh.” Nodding their heads, everyone else carried on to get busy, ignoring the floating Mie Qiongqi.

From afternoon till night, Mie Qiongqi continued with his ‘Kill…Kill…Kill…!’

Looking at his Junior Brother Mie in midair, Feng Bujue could not help but sigh, “Say, Big Senior Brother, what do you think is wrong with Junior Brother Mie? Why does he keep going on about killing and killing and killing? Do you think he’s dreaming about some enemy or foe right now?”

Zhang Ergou blinked his eyes, “Who knows. But Junior Brother Mie is not young anymore. Perhaps this is just that puberty stage thing that Master was talking about?”

“What’s puberty?” Feng Bujue asked in confusion. He had no idea what this new term his Master came up with meant.

“How would I know? According to Master, it means that his hormones are exploding.”

“And what’re hormones?”

“Go and ask Master yourself. I’ve got no idea, gosh! Master has asked for me to make a trip over to his place later. Just follow me along then.” Zhang Ergou dismissed Feng Bujue away. Gosh, wasn’t Junior Brother Feng just annoying? This guy just couldn’t stop with his questions.

Late at night, the Earth Demons were burning the midnight oil as well. Judging from the cling clang sounds coming from the bottom of the hill, these guys were trying to make good use of time as well.

Now, the only headache for Lin Fan was this Gong Bingye. Just how did this woman pop up in here? Furthermore, by the looks of it, she seemed to be really chummy with Zhang Ergou and the others!

Bloody hell, just what the hell happened to this place in the months when he was gone?

“Master, I’m here.” Zhang Ergou stopped outside his house and whispered gently.

“Yes, get the hell in.” Lin Fan shouted.

Even though Zhang Ergou did not know the exact reason why his Master had summoned him, his hunches were pretty accurate most of the time. It must be the matter about Miss Gong.

Lin Fan did not bother beating around the bush and got straight to the heart of the matter, asking about Gong Bingye’s situation around here. Zhang Ergou replied his questions accordingly, reporting to him about the happenings and changes of Nameless Peak for the past few months as well.

By the time Zhang Ergou was done, Lin Fan was feeling pretty exasperated.

Bloody hell! Through history, he had only heard of men kidnapping village women to be their wives. This was the first bloody time that a girl had come knocking on the door herself.

“Erm, Master, actually, Ergou here has something to say. Just that I’m not sure if it’s appropriate…” Zhang Ergou stammered here and there. He seemed to have a lot on his mind, but did not know how to voice them out.

“Speak your mind then. Stop being a sissy.” Goodness, just a few months in and this Zhang Ergou was acting like a little sissy. Did he change his sex?

“Well… Master, you see… the thing is, our sect is rapidly expanding right now. And you’re not getting any younger, you know? Actually what we need right now is a Mistress of the sect. The best is if you could pop out a Young Master within this year as well. I’ve evaluated her with all the other junior brothers. All of us agree that she’s a peerless beauty with a perfect figure as well. In the words of my home’s old folks: A woman with a huge bum can rear many kids…” Before Zhang Ergou could finish his words, he found himself the target of a killing aura locked onto him. In a moment of shock, he found himself booted with a heavy kick on the butt straight out of the door.

“Get lost! Seems like you’re getting out of hand without me personally TRAINING you for a long period of time, eh?” Kicking Zhang Ergou’s butt, Lin Fan scolded him, albeit a little jokingly.

Zhang Ergou cried out in pain and scurried out. Upon hearing the word ‘training’, he was scared stiff. Rubbing his butt in pain, he continued to run on.

“Alright, alright. You can let me know if you don’t want to. You don’t have to kick my as. But seriously, as your specially appointed Big Senior Brother of the sect, I’ve really checked her out properly with my junior brothers! She’s really pretty decent!”

“You still wanna continue…?”

“No, no, no! I’ll shut up…!” Breaking into a sprint, Zhang Ergou ran off with his bum swaying as he ran.

Next day…

Mie Qiongqi’s shouts continued through the entire night. It was until morning when another massive aura erupted from within his body. Two energy grid line chains clanged onto one another loudly in the skies.

Zhang Ergou, who was still deep in his sleep, was shocked out of bed by this loud sound. Turning his eyes towards the sound, he was completely stupefied.

At this moment, Mie Qiongqi was like the monk in Journey to the West, albeit a darker version. Bald, with the clothes of his upper body ripped off, his upper torso was imprinted with countless pitch black runes and markings. Those two energy grid line chains intertwined with one another and coiled around his body, energy flowing on them rapidly.

Shining brightly, both of them then swam into Mie Qiongqi’s body.

“Bloody hell, that’s even flashier than me.” Lin Fan squinted his eyes. He could not deny that this short transformation of Mie Qiongqi was pretty cool.

Just then, Mie Qiongqi’s eyes shot wide open. A bright light swept out across the lands with him as a center, causing the void to vibrate gently for a moment.

Comprehending the power of energy grid lines, fusing them into energy grid line chains.

He had completed the path to a greater celestial.

“He had just barely stepped into the path of a greater celestial being, and he already has two energy grid line chains? That’s a little too fast, isn’t it?!? Bloody hell, isn’t Unkillable Indestructible way too overpowered and heavenly defying?” Lin Fan’s heart tugged a little in envy.

How many people had to craft their own energy grid line chains after entering the greater celestial state and slowly comprehending the way of the energy grid lines?

And this man could just craft two chains overnight just like that. Furthermore, by the looks of it, those two energy grid line chains seemed a little special.

When Mie Qiongqi finally landed on the ground and regained consciousness, his face turned into a look of excitement the moment he caught sight of his Master. However, when he tried to call out to Lin Fan, all he could do was hoarsely make some sandy sounds.

“Ah…ah…!” Mie Qiongqi pinched at his own throat, realizing that he had lost his voice.

“Alright, stop ‘ah’-ing. You’ve been ‘killing’ for an entire night now. Even if your throat were made of steel, it’d be killed off as well.” Lin Fan waved his hand in acknowledgment.

Mie Qiongqi had no recollection of anything that had happened. All he knew was that his power level had spiked up dozens of folds.

“‘Senior Brother! You’re not wearing clothes! Shame, shame!” Zhiqiao was wearing her animal styled pajamas as she rubbed her half sleepy eyes.

Mie Qiongqi shrugged his head awkwardly before breaking out in a laugh.

All smiles, Lin Fan nodded his head heartedly.

“Alright, I’ll head over to the Grandmaster for a bit. You guys go and get busy on your own.”

He had just received a summon over by the Grandmaster. He garnered that something must be up. As for Gong Bingye, he would deal with her matters after her injuries had healed completely.

Chapter 304: Not Much, Just Half

p>Even though the losses for Glory Sect this time round were considerable, they were still much better than Jiuxiao Sect. Jiuxiao Sect’s state was akin to having the entire sect destroyed entirely.

Grandmaster? Dead.

Senior Elders? Dead.

All of their strongest powerhouses were all dead. The burden on Xinfeng’s shoulders would be really heavy from now on.

As brothers, they had to help as much as they could. And even if they couldn’t, they still had to find a way to help out of their own losses.

Presently at the Grandmaster’s Peak, some of the Senior Elders of Glory Sect gathered with grim looks on their faces. They were supposed to be beings in a state where nothing much could affect their moods. But the events this time round had shattered even those steely hearts of theirs.

“Lin Fan, for the sect to be able to tide through the dire circumstances this time round, your credit is second to none. Is there any request you’d like to make?” Yan Hongyu inquired.

Lin Fan’s credit was the greatest of them all. If he had not returned in time, Glory Sect might have truly been desecrated with not a single survivor remaining.

For this, Yan Hongyu blamed himself as well. This was all because he did not put up any precautions against Han Yongyi, leading to those disastrous outcomes.

“Grandmaster, Senior Elders. We can discuss the matter of rewards later on. But right now, I want to know the reason why Xuanhuang World was divided into two. It was evident that the Grandmaster and the other Senior Elders of Jiuxiao Sect were invaded by some evil being. A being like that who could possess a greater celestial full cultivation being must be far from ordinary.” Lin Fan asked without holding back. He knew that the Grandmaster and the others must know something about it at least.

As one of the top sects of the entire Dongling Continent, they must know of many secrets compared to others. No one in this world would decide to expend so much effort just to split Xuanhuang World into two for no reason. Also, that amount of strength wasn’t something any of these people present could possess. In fact, even Lin Fan, who had fused with the Eternal Arm, did not possess such capabilities.

At the same time, Lin Fan’s mind was filled with doubts. Even though being a greater celestial full cultivation was considered the peak of powers in this Xuanhuang World, but how could it be that case?

Let alone the mere Eternal Arm, that evil being must definitely possess more power than any greater celestial full cultivation being!

Also, now that the Eternal Arm and Eternal Donger had already made their appearance, where were the other body parts? And how many of them were there?

Everything. Every, single, thing, was a puzzle.

Yan Hongyu and the other Senior Elders glanced at one another before taking in a deep breath. Flicking his robes, a mysterious rock flew out of his sleeves. The rock looked extremely normal, with nothing special about it. However, a bright light screen suddenly emerged from it.

“Everything we know right now, you shall know soon as well.” Yan Hongyu continued.

Looking at the projection formed by the light of this rock, Lin Fan frowned.

On the screen was displayed an image of Xuanhuang World, perfect as it was, before it was split into two. A figure stood in the image, mighty and strong, with an aura of superiority.

“Even if we have to retreat continuously… The last sacred grounds of mankind shall not be easily trespassed!”

Suddenly, the figure grew larger than ever. Even though it was just a projection, Lin Fan was visibly shaken by the invisible aura that this image of the man was giving off. If he were present at that very moment, he would have most likely disintegrated into dust and dirt immediately.

With just a single punch, the Heavens rumbled. The energy grid lines began reversing, and with a single ray of bright light, Xuanhuang World was split entirely.

As though it had expended all its energy, that mighty figure started breaking apart. Six broken shards flew out in all directions and disappeared entirely.

Lin Fan identified what those six shards were. They were the Supreme Being Token Shards.

He stared at this projection for a really long time, unable to recover back to his senses.

He had already obtained one of the token shards right now. However, even the punch he had witnessed earlier in the token shard was nowhere near the power of this punch in the current projection.

In fact, even the Eternal Arm would definitely be no match for it.

Lin Fan was silent right now. After obtaining the Eternal Arm, he had thought that he was practically invincible. But he gradually realized how miniscule he was in the face of that power he had just witnessed as well. And the most shocking revelation was that there were still unknown dangers that laid awaiting outside the Xuanhuang World.

“And this is all that we know right now. Glory Sect has been established for 10,000 years, and we’ve been trying to seek out the truth behind it all. Our ancestors had spent countless years researching, but none of them could get to the root of it all. Perhaps the truth would only reveal itself after all six of the Supreme Being Token Shards are gathered…” Yan Hongyu continued.

“As for those evil beings who were able to invade the human body, there have been no records of such things. Hence, we’ve got no idea at all as well…”

…

“Grandmaster, this is not the urgent matter at hand. I suppose we’ve still got time to deal with it all. Let’s discuss the pressing matter right now.” Lin Fan’s originally solemn look had now dissolved.

“This time around, to make the trip of tens of thousands of miles from Jiuxiao Sect back to Glory Sect, I made use of a tribute. With that, I used up half of Jiuxiao Sect’s treasure vault. I feel that even though Glory Sect’s losses were considerable, we did not lose as much as Jiuxiao Sect did. Therefore, my request is for Glory Sect to donate half of our treasure vault over to Jiuxiao Sect as compensation.” While Lin Fan was going on with his sentence, he took keen notice of the look on the Grandmaster and the Senior Elders’ faces.

The moment he got to the part of donating half of Glory Sect’s treasure vault, the expressions of everyone turned into a pained one. It was as if someone wanted to cut a piece of their flesh away.

This was the treasure vault they were talking about! This place was filled with treasures that they had accumulated painstakingly over generations!

To lose half of it all in an instant, anyone would be heartbroken!

If it were just one or two, Yan Hongyu would have waved his hand dismissively and agreed instantly to show the generosity as the Grandmaster of a gigantic sect. However, giving half of it away was akin to robbing him of his life.

“Hais, why did I bother asking? I knew that all of you guys would definitely agree for sure with me after all. As I recalled, even at the brink of Jiuxiao Sect’s destruction, the guardian spirit within the treasure vault handed over all the treasures within the vault in an act of self-sacrifice. Upon knowing that I was rushing back to rescue Glory Sect, do you guys know what the treasure guardian spirit said to me?” Looking at everyone present, Lin Fan’s face gave off a look of shocked respect.

“What did he say?” Yan Hongyu and the others were curious. They knew of the treasure guardian spirits too. These were a bunch of selfish and greedy spirits who viewed their treasures as their lives. No one could be thirstier for treasures than them.

“He said that Glory Sect has been a bosom sect of Jiuxiao Sect for many generations! Even if he had to give up all of his treasures, he had to ensure the success of the tribute! And if that wasn’t enough, he was willing to sacrifice even his own life as a tribute! Guys, look at that! Is it too much to give Jiuxiao Sect half of our treasure vault for such kinship? No, right? If it were me, I couldn’t even wait to rush there right now to return this act of gratitude!” Lin Fan’s acting skills had risen again as his voice quivered, as though he was about to cry.

Yan Hongyu and the other Senior Elders looked at one another. An invisible current seemed to be passing through their eyes right now.

Yan Hongyu, ‘What should we do? This lad wants an entire half, gosh!’

Wuya, ‘Giving his heart away to the outsiders, how I wish I could kill him with a single slap right now. But we don’t seem to be his match anymore.’

Yan Zhanwen, ‘My heart is hurting right now. I don’t wish to think more about this.’

Lu Mingyang, ‘All the treasure guardian spirits in this world share the same pattern. Could the one back at Jiuxiao Sect really be this different?’

Yan Hongyu, ‘F*ck it. To give or not to give?’

Wuya, ‘Forget it. Since the lad has already put it this way, it’s obvious that he has already placed his entire heart on that brother of his at Jiuxiao Sect.’

Every one of them sighed deeply in their hearts.

“Cough…” Yan Hongyu retracted his eye contact and then coughed slightly. He then looked over at Lin Fan, “That’s right! Since Jiuxiao Sect has already done so much, the Glory Sect mustn’t let them down as well. Half then. I’ll hand you my token. Head over to the treasure vault yourself later and pick out the treasures with our guardian spirit.”

The moment Lin Fan heard these words, he grinned, “Our Grandmaster is wise and magnanimous indeed.”

“Hmm.” Yan Hongyu nodded his head. Even though his face was solemn, his heart was pained beyond words. He was just putting on a strong front right now.

…

Chapter 305: So Bloody Wealthy!

p>The next day, all the color seemed to have drained from the skies, leaving only gray clouds. The mood on Earth seemed to be especially grim because of the dark skies.

From top to bottom, every single member of Glory Sect was in a grim mood as well. It was as though a rock was pressing down heavily on their hearts.

Standing together, the disciples formed a sea of black as they were all draped in black robes, surrounding Glory Sect’s Hall of Glory.

This was Glory Sect’s home for their valiant spirits. For the past 10,000 years, every single person who had died for the sake of the sect were laid in this final resting place.

The Hall of Glory was located on a peak far in the East. This peak was the same height as the Grandmaster’s Peak. This was Glory Sect’s most glorious location.

However, this glory could only be obtained post-death.

Lin Fan was standing in the front row together with the Grandmaster and the other Senior Elder, looking at the rows of tablets in front of them. Such was the fragility of young lives, to burn as brightly and as short-lived as fireworks. They themselves might have never expected their early demise either, and could have had so many wonderful things and plans awaiting them in the future.

“Master…” Mu Bingyan’s hands were trembling as she caressed that cold stone tablet. Every single word etched on it was like a sharp blade, carving wounds within her heart.

“Master…!” Mu Bingyan’s peerlessly beautiful face no longer had the flush of blood. It was as though her heart was ripped apart violently. This pain hurt, it really hurt…

Yet, she could not even let out a single drop of tear. She was now the Peak Master of Jialan Peak. She had to be strong, and lead her junior sisters to be even stronger.

“Master…” Mu Bingyan’s lips were quivering. She could no longer hold on as streams of tears flowed down from her eyes. She was a princess of a dynasty who was hunted down for her life back in her youth. Just as she had fallen in a frozen tundra awaiting death in her most desolate moment, a warm pair of hands stretched out and hugged her. She was then carried to this place called Jialan Peak, which was filled with warmth.

Here, Mu Bingyan did not think back about the past. All she wanted to do was to stay by her Master’s side silently. But now that her Master had left her, she could no longer hide her pain as she cried sorrowfully.

‘Master, Bingyan will fulfill your final wish. Please leave in peace.’ Mu Bingyan lowered her head as her tears splashed down onto the ground. For someone as cold as her, these were tears of a deep-rooted pain.

All the disciples of Jialan Peak sobbed silently as well. Their beloved Peak Master had left them.

The other disciples of Glory Sect lowered their heads and mourned in silence as well. This was for their fallen brothers.

“Glory Sect, a great sect with a 10,000-year-old history… Even though we’ve been through many trials and tribulations, all of you must remember this fateful day. 368 of our disciples have fallen defending the sect. All of them have served their duties to the sect with an immense contribution. Thus, they are specially inducted into the Hall of Glory. All of our future disciples and generations should do well to remember them.” Yan Hongyu called out loudly into the skies with a solemn expression.

His voice permeated the entire Glory Sect.

Looking at all this, Lin Fan was filled with emotion. Even though the cultivation bases of these disciples were not very high, all of them were worthy of respect.

Disciples clad in black robes carried these tablets into the Hall of Glory, propping them up in front of their chest with both hands. All of their faces were pained as they arranged these tablets properly within.

Lin Fan let out a sigh as he patted Chicky, who was on his shoulders. The generally lively Chicky was unusually quiet right now, with his head bowed down as well, only cawing softly.

It was as though Chicky was connected with Lin Fan’s heart. When Lin Fan was upset, Chicky too was upset.

‘Cuckoo…’

Using his small little head, he caressed Lin Fan’s cheeks, seemingly trying to comfort him.

Lin Fan came by Mu Bingyan’s side and comforted her softly as well, “Everyone is bound to meet with death one day. However, one’s death may be meaningless or filled with meaning. They have sacrificed their lives for the sect, and will be remembered through Glory Sect’s history. Junior Sister, don’t be too sad, and fulfill the will as the Peak Master of Jialan Peak, so that your master can rest well in peace.”

“Thank you, Senior Brother.” Mu Bingyan nodded her head, slowly regaining her spirit.

Lin Fan looked into the distant sky. He wondered how sad his Brother Xinfeng must be right now as well.

With the Grandmaster and all his Senior Elders dead, he was left to deal with everything alone from this point forth. With such a heavy responsibility pressing down on his shoulders, he wondered if his Brother Xinfeng could hold on.

‘Hais…’

Even though Xuanhuang World was a place where it was survival of the fittest and life was fleeting, the pain of having one’s close ones dying right before oneself was still beyond words to describe.

A few days later…

The masses had gradually recovered from the morose mood of the events, and had placed all their energies into the reconstruction of the sect. Numerous disciples had begun to return to their usual cultivation habits. In fact, they were way more motivated than before.

Perhaps the events that had passed had made them truly understand how small they truly were. It was a big impact on their hearts after all, and these disciples were determined to grow even stronger to be able to protect the sect.

While Lin Fan understood all this, he still felt that it was too late for him. If he had realized all this back in Cangling Continent, Saint Devil Sect might have been able to survive.

No matter the greatness of a sect, there would come a day when they were faced with the threat of falling, the threat of being destroyed.

But as long as he was alive, he swore to never let history repeat itself.

Gong Bingye’s injury was slowly recovering as well.

Lin Fan had intended to let her return at first. However, Zhiqiao, this little, kid was creating a huge fuss, crying and whining while Zhang Ergou and the others were putting in a good word for her from the side.

In the end, Lin Fan did not want to argue anymore, and allowed her to stay. ‘Take it as an extra outer sect disciple then.’

In the few months that Lin Fan was gone, Nameless Peak had undergone great changes. It was always bustling with people looking for goods and stuff, like any ordinary city marketplace.

And of course, these items were extremely well received in Glory Sect.

Lin Fan decided to let it be. However, looking at Gong Bingye, he did feel a little weird. In fact, he was pretty impressed with her.

She was a woman who dared to chase after what she wanted, and dared to dream.

But to think that she was dreaming of Yours Truly’s pure and virtuous body? Dream on indeed.

Who was Yours Truly? Yours Truly was a man who was destined to be the greatest character in the entire universe…

Alright, alright. Enough with the bullsh*t. It was time to head to the treasure vault first.

A treasure vault with Glory Sect’s 10,000 years of history must be extremely big. As for the treasures within, they must definitely be extremely priceless as well. Remembering the Grandmaster’s pained look, Lin Fan could make a guess at how extravagant this place must be.

Just the mere thought of it was causing him to be excited.

Not long later, Lin Fan arrived at the location of the treasure vault. It was situated in a secret cave under the Grandmaster’s Peak. The entrance was surrounded by an aura seemingly patrolling the place. This must have been setup by the Grandmaster to alert him of any intruders.

But holding on to the token given by the Grandmaster, Lin Fan was let through without any resistance, as the aura moved away from him.

‘So, this is the treasure vault?’ Standing in front of two doors, Lin Fan sized up the place. Looking up, he found two words etched on top of the door.

‘Treasure Vault.’

Lin Fan shook his head. Just what kind of world-class bloody idiot was the person who designed this place? Isn’t this just stupidity at its best? If some fool were to stumble across this place by chance, wouldn’t he be in luck? Even if he didn’t know what this place was, he would be able to tell by these bloody words etched right in. Bloody hell!

Just then, the token Lin Fan was holding on to floated gently up into the air. A bright beam of light shone on top of the door.

Boom. Boom.

The two doors slowly opened up as Lin Fan’s heart stopped for a second.

He could sense the aura of treasures…

It was thick…

Lin Fan entered, brimming with excitement. Looking at what was inside, his eyes were opened wider than ever.

Money slave! He was going to be a money slave…!

Packed densely on every single shelf, treasures were abundant. Even the aura of the vault itself was so dense and thick that it was almost solid. It seemed like a sticky mist.

Compared to Jiuxiao Sect’s, this was way classier!

The extreme west of the continent was a place scarce of resources. Seemed like it was right after all.

The place where Glory Sect was situated was full of resources and connections to other places. Hence, the treasures they obtained were naturally even more bountiful.

Chapter 306: Shooting Keeps You Healthy

p>Jiuxiao Sect was not the only sect in the far western side of Dongling Continent. Big or small sects, they numbered several dozens. The leader of all of them at one point, Jiuxiao Sect had lost every last bit of control.

To think that they didn’t even have a single powerful being to reign in these guys. It was a terrible plight that Jiuxiao Sect was in.

Now that the time was opportune, all the resources and land previously owned by Jiuxiao Sect looked so alluring and tempting to the other sects.

That was clearly ‘taking someone’s life while they’re sick.’

Even though they wouldn’t go to the extent of destroying Jiuxiao Sect entirely, wasn’t it too much to exploit them into giving up everything now that they were defenseless?

Survival of the fittest indeed. Jiuxiao Sect had reigned as the overlord for a long period of time, and while they had the chance, everyone wanted to snatch over that position.

The moment all of these sects heard of the news about Jiuxiao Sect’s situation, they gathered to come up with a plot to overthrow it.

Finally, the seat of the overlord of the sects in the far west was up for grabs.

However, some of the Grandmasters of smaller sects were worried. They questioned, “Everyone, Jiuxiao Sect’s ally is the great Glory Sect. Would we get into trouble for doing this?”

‘HAHA! Don’t worry about that. Do you guys know why Jiuxiao Sect is in this desolate state right now? Let me tell all of you. The reason behind Jiuxiao Sect’s fall is because they attacked Glory Sect! From Han Yongyi down, all the Senior Elders have perished in the hands of Glory Sect. With that said, do you guys think that Glory Sect are still allies with Jiuxiao Sect?”

“Furthermore, I’ve heard news that the Peak Master of Glory Sect’s Jialan Peak had died in the war as well. These two sects are most likely filled with hatred for one another right now!” One of the Grandmasters laughed cheerily.

Upon hearing this, everyone else was reassured immediately. This was a fine piece of meat that was dangling right in front of their mouths right now! If they gave up on this, the same opportunity might not present itself again!

After that, they began discussing how to split up Jiuxiao Sect’s resources amongst themselves. To them, Jiuxiao Sect was already dancing in the palms of their hands.

…

Glory Sect…

“Holy sht…HOLY SHT!” Looking at the bright and dazzling treasures, Lin Fan gulped his saliva down.

The number of treasures right now was blinding his eyes indeed.

Lin Fan casually picked up a murky black rock.

‘Ding…congratulations on discovering Extinguishing Rock.’

‘Extinguishing Rock: Possesses the essence of energy grid lines. Able to increase the speed in which one cultivates energy grid line chains.’

To think that even such an unseemly item was so precious! Lin Fan could not help but feel impressed with Glory Sect’s wealth.

‘This seems like a pretty decent item indeed. Now that Mie Qiongqi’s a greater celestial, this should give him a nice boost.’

Just as Lin Fan was about to place the Extinguishing Rock into his storage, a shadow flashed by.

Suddenly, the Extinguishing Rock flew out of Lin Fan’s hands as well.

“Who are you? Why are you here at the treasure vault?” Just then, the treasure guardian spirit floated gently in midair, looking at Lin Fan warily. To a treasure guardian spirits, anyone who entered a treasure vault with a purpose of not depositing an item was definitely a bad person.

‘You’re the treasure guardian spirit around here?”” Lin Fan glanced at him. Why the hell did he look the exact same as Jiuxiao Sect’s treasure guardian spirit? Could these guardian spirits all look the same?

‘That’s right, I’m the guardian spirit of the treasures here. Eh? You’ve got the Grandmaster’s Token? Did the Grandmaster allow you in to take the treasures? Alright, alright, what the hell do you want? Hurry up and get the hell out after taking it.” The treasure guardian spirit said in a cold attitude. The way he looked at Lin Fan was extremely unfriendly.

Every year, there would be a few days where the treasure guardian spirits would be in a bad mood as such. That was because each time people came by, the guardian spirit would lose a few treasures within the vault.

“The Grandmaster has allowed me to take off half the treasures here.” Lin Fan surveyed the treasures around him and nodded his head in satisfaction. Not bad, all of these were valuable indeed.

The moment Lin Fan finished his words, the treasure guardian spirit exploded.

“WHAT! WHAT DID YOU SAY?!? HALF? DO YOU WANT TO TAKE MY LIFE AS WELL?” The guardian spirit was entirely enraged. His expression towards Lin Fan changed as well. Far from being unfriendly, he was now looking at Lin Fan as though Lin Fan had murdered his parents.

Lin Fan side glanced at the guardian spirit and shook his head, “Compared to the guardian spirit back at Jiuxiao Sect, I’m truly disappointed in you.”

“You…you…! How dare you insult be as being inferior to my younger brother! I…i…!” The moment the guardian spirit heard this, he was so angry he barfed out.

Lin Fan was stunned as well. He had seen before people spewing out blood. But looking at treasure guardian spirits puking out treasures was still quite a sight indeed.

And what surprised Lin Fan even more was the fact that this guy was brothers with the treasure guardian spirit back at Jiuxiao Sect! What a laughable situation this was.

“Guardian spirit, allow him to take half.” Suddenly, a voice boomed out from the voids.

“GRANDMASTER…!” Upon hearing the voice of the Grandmaster, the guardian spirit could not stop shouting. However, right now, Grandmaster Yan was not in the mood to give a sht about him. After all, the Grandmaster’s heart was feeling even more pained than the spirit’s.

“NOOOOOOOO…!” The treasure guardian spirit tilted his head back and screamed in anguish. One by one, treasures were being puked out of his mouth.

“Holy fck! Hiding so much precious stuff…!” Lin Fan was dumb stricken. He had thought that the treasures in within the vault were more than enough. But looking at the rate the spirit was spurting out these treasures, there should be way more than this!

“Do you really want to take my treasures?” Having finally shot it all out, the spirit looked at Lin Fan in anger as he clenched both of his fists.

“Yes, that’s right.” Lin Fan nodded his head seriously. Was this spirit going to take on a fight with him?

“Alright, you can take them. But I’ll be watching you from the sides!” The treasure guardian spirit replied in a huff.

Lin Fan shook his head. This bloody f*cktard…! Bloody hell, he thought the spirit was going to duke it out with him!

Lin Fan then began to rummage about, specifically looking out for those special looking treasures.

Just then, Lin Fan’s eye caught sight of a transparent sphere. Within this sphere, a purple light was swirling inside continuously.

Lin Fan placed the sphere in his palms.

“This is a bad item. It’s probably the worst thing there is in this treasure vault! This here at the side is much better!” The moment the guardian spirit saw this lad picking up the sphere, his heart spiked in pain.

Looking at the spirit who was floating nearby with his jaws agape, Lin Fan chuckled, “Hais, seems like you’re a good guardian spirit after all. Of course, I can’t just take all the good stuff, right? Since this is the trashiest, I’ll keep it then so that you won’t feel too heartbroken!”

Bloody hell! If not for the system’s verification, he might really have been taken in by this spirit.

Purple Energy Rejuvenation Pill. To think that this guy would say that such a precious item was a piece of trash! What a load of bull!

‘Urgh…!’

Suddenly, the guardian spirit began to spray out again once more. He realized that this was the first time he had experienced such pain ever since he was formed. In fact, he was feeling so gutted that his organs, if he had any, were about to spill out.

Just then, the guardian spirit realized that this darned lad had picked up yet another item. He then hurried and said immediately, “Oh, this is great! This is the best item in the entire treasure vault! If you take this, I would be extremely heartbroken!”

Stunned for a moment, Lin Fan chuckled and sighed.

‘Bloody hell, wasn’t this guardian spirit kind of devious?’

Playing dirty tricks like these. Even though the treasure Lin Fan was holding on to was pretty strong, it required constant sacrifices from its user. So, it wasn’t that decent after all. Now that the guardian spirit was making it out to be some heaven-defying object, he was pretty smart as well, wasn’t he?

The guardian spirit felt that he had understood Lin Fan’s thoughts. Now that he was making out this item to be a good treasure, he didn’t believe that Lin Fan wouldn’t take it.

Who else in this world was better than he was at verifying treasures? Just this man and he dared to challenge the experience of a guardian spirit in recognizing treasures? Asking for it seriously.

“Alright, since that’s the case, I won’t take it then. I can’t allow you to be heartbroken after all.” Lin Fan replied gleefully.

“Ah, no…no…! Actually, you can have it! Even though it breaks my heart, it’s all good as long as you’re happy!” The spirit was stunned at Lin Fan’s reply as he stammered.

“Nah, it’s fine. There are so many treasures anyways. I don’t really have to insist on that. I think this here is good as well.” Lin Fan had spotted yet another treasure.

Looking at what it was, the guardian spirit exclaimed out in shock, “Shit, that’s extremely precious! That’s…!”

Before he could even finish, Lin Fan had already kept the item.

The spirit floated in midair, staring dumbly at Lin Fan. Unable to control himself, he then began spurting out more. One by one, those glowing treasures danced across the air.

Lin Fan did not want to choose anymore. With a wave of his hand, half of the treasures were swept within his storage sack.

And Lin Fan knew his limits as well. When he asked for half, he meant half. He wouldn’t sneak in even a single treasure more than that.

At the same time, he no longer wanted to look at that guardian spirit in the air, who was still spewing out stuff. He walked out straight away.

“Treasure guardian spirit, take care of your health. You seem to be shooting out a little too much.”

At some places within Glory Sect, dull moans echoed out.

‘Ahh…!’

At this moment, the treasure guardian spirit was not the only one shooting stuff out. On some of the peaks, some couples have gathered to ejaculate out different stuff.

Chapter 307: Just Kidding

p>Time would fly and leave everything behind.

Glory Sect had eventually returned to the peaceful state it was in before. As for the disciples, they were buried deep in self-cultivation.

Within that battle, many talented disciples with hidden potential had unleashed them entirely in the face of the sect’s darkest moments.

Starting with Lu Yan, who had risen from the ranks of the servant disciples; even though his cultivation base wasn’t too high, that mysterious fighting style he had employed, and the power he unleashed, had everyone looking at him entirely differently from before.

As for Meng Hao and Jian Wudi et cetera, the fighting strength they let loose was in no way lesser than the inner sect disciples. In fact, they were probably even stronger than Zong Hentian.

So, who was the number one within Glory Sect right now then?

Of course, it was none other than Lin Fan. This was a fact that was openly acknowledged by everyone within Glory Sect. After all, all of them had witnessed for themselves the happenings of that day.

One by one, the Grandmaster and the Senior Elders were forced back, even nearly losing their lives.

However, the moment Junior Master Lin arrived and went ham, he had turned the tides around instantly in the palms of his hands. This level of power was way too terrifying!

As such, Lin Fan’s image within the sect was as high as the Heavens right now. He was unofficially the God that many disciples were revering in their hearts.

…

Nameless Peak…

Mie Qiongqi had already kept himself locked up in self-cultivation for an entire month. To Mie Qiongqi, the benefits of having 2 energy grid line chains right now were extremely great. Based on just cultivation base alone, Mie Qiongqi was the highest in the entire Glory Sect.

The mysterious skill, Unkillable Indestructible, had brought Mie Qiongqi to a path of absolute dominance.

Ever since Lin Fan obtained the Mythical Parasol Tree, he had been gaining experience points by the second.

Now that an entire month had passed, Lin Fan’s cultivation base had broken through to a lesser celestial full cultivation as well.

Lin Fan right now could even level up while sleeping. In no time to come, he would definitely be able to enter that greater celestial state he wanted.

By then, he could be able to comprehend the power of energy grid lines and start on gathering energy grid line chains.

Just then, Chicky ran into his room from outside clucking happily. At the same time, Zhiqiao was chasing after him while muttering something.

“Master! Why does Chicky always bully Whitey? He is always pressing on Whitey down onto the ground!” Zhiqiao was hugging on to Whitey tightly while reporting to Lin Fan.

‘Cuckcuckoo!’

Chicky leaped up onto Lin Fan’s shoulders and shrunk his body, shaking his head furiously as though he was refuting Zhiqiao’s words.

Lin Fan was in the middle of sipping tea when he spat everything out upon hearing Zhiqiao’s complaint. He looked at Chicky in some disbelief and finally, his expression changed into one of contempt.

His heart was screaming, ‘You…you beast…! You wouldn’t even let someone so young go…?!?’

Even though the Snow Lion cub was a female, it was underage, and had yet to go through puberty! To think that Chicky would…would…!

Hais…

Lin Fan threw a look of shade at Chicky. Turning around, he then replied helplessly, “Ah, Zhiqiao. That’s not bullying. They’re just having some friendly intercour…interaction!”

Lin Fan did not know how else to put it, so he had to explain it in that manner. After all, it wasn’t wrong. Chicky and Whitey were having a friendly interaction alright.

Just that the interaction was a little…indecent.

“OH…” Zhiqiao could not understand all this these at all, so she just nodded her head in agreement.

Coiled around tightly in Zhiqiao’s arms, Whitey was shivering profusely. The moment her eyes locked with Chicky’s, she was filled with immense fear.

Looking at Whitey’s terrified face, Lin Fan sighed helplessly as well, ‘What a beast indeed! Look how badly Chicky has scarred her!’

Chicky looked at Lin Fan as well, flicking his head away in the other direction. He then leapt down from Lin Fan’s shoulders proudly and ran out.

“Master, I’d like to bring Whitey out to play!” Looking at Chicky running away, Zhiqiao prepared to head out to look for Gong Bingye as well.

“Okay.” Lin Fan nodded his head. Now that a month had passed, it was time for him to make his way over to Jiuxiao Sect. He had already received the news from Xinfeng that he was preparing to take over the position of the new Grandmaster of Jiuxiao Sect.

This was a big event in Lin Fan’s eyes. Naturally, he had prepared his gift for Xinfeng as well.

The moment Zhiqiao left, Mie Qiongqi entered his house.

“Master, I’ve reached a bottleneck in my cultivation. I’d like to head out for further training.” Mie Qiongqi requested.

Lin Fan surveyed Mie Qiongqi properly from head to toe and sighed out. Indeed, this man was a rare talent.

Even though he was only at a greater celestial lower level, he was still holding on a lot of unreleased potential within his body. This aura was dense and thick. He was probably the strongest of any other greater celestial lower level right now.

Just based on those two energy grid line chains alone, he was already way stronger than many other people.

As for Mie Qiongqi’s request, Lin Fan naturally allowed it. After all, other than Lin Fan, the strongest fighting power in Saint Devil Sect right now was definitely Mie Qiongqi.

Next day…

Mie Qiongqi left the peak and sect earlier than Lin Fan. Lin Fan, on the other hand, made his way over to the Grandmaster to request for a battle ark.

The moment Yan Hongyu caught sight of Lin Fan, that pleasant mood he originally had turned sour immediately. His breathing became especially hurried the moment he heard Lin Fan’s request for the battle ark. It was as though he could have fainted at any moment from a stroke.

Not only did this lad take away half of the treasure vault, he was now asking for his very own battle ark?

Even though Yan Hongyu did not reject outright, he finally relented after Lin Fan’s constant persuasion techniques, and took out his cherished battle ark.

The moment he took out his battle ark, his heart was filled with a sharp pain and reluctance.

“I can take it out for you, but you must remember to return it to me!”

…

The moment Lin Fan thought of the Grandmaster’s heartbroken face as he handed over the ark, he couldn’t help but chuckle.

Just then…

The Glory Sect disciples found that the skies were starting to darken. Raising their heads, they exclaimed out in surprise.

That was the sect’s battle ark!

Standing atop the battle ark, Lin Fan’s face was extremely satisfied. He couldn’t complain about this magnificent ark that gave off a strange glow under the gleaming sunlight.

Furthermore, the Grandmaster’s battle ark was even faster in terms of speed compared to the battle arks of the Senior Elders.

The moment the Senior Elders on each peak caught sight of the floating ark, they rushed to the Grandmaster’s Peak in shock.

There, they found the Grandmaster standing frozen solid. His eyes were filled with sorrow as he stood rooted where he was.

“Grandmaster, you’ve given your battle ark to that lad?!?” Wuya asked hurriedly.

He knew that the battle ark was the most cherished possession of Grandmaster Yan.

Taking in a deep breath, Yan Hongyu replied, “LENT. Not given. LENT.”

Wuya exchanged glances with the other Senior Elders. The Grandmaster did not seem to be taking this really well.

That battle ark which was a few thousand feet wide floated quietly in the sky. It did look a little strange with just one lone man standing on it.

Looking down, Lin Fan pursed his lips into a smile. This feeling was simply too great!

“Is anyone keen on joining your Junior Master Lin for a field trip outside!” Lin Fan shouted down.

Looking at one another, the disciples of Glory Sect raised their hands excitedly.

“Me, Junior Master Lin! I’ll go!”

“Take me along, Junior Master Lin! I know how to cook!”

“I can warm your bed for you…!”

…

Looking at their excited faces, Lin Fan let out a big grin.

“I WAS JUST KIDDING HAHA! BYE!”

With that, the runes on the battle ark glowed brightly as it disappeared into the edge of the skies.

The excited disciples looked at the skies blankly.

“BIG LIAR…!!!”
