The Strongest System - Chapter 383

Chapter 383: Super Duper Strong Right Now

p>Lin Fan raised his hand gently. In the boundless void, the energy grid line chains swirled around in a circular motion like agile snakes.

Ooooooooooooooooooom.

Suddenly, Lin Fan’s house seemed to be encompassed by a massive energy barrier.

Everyone on Nameless Peak’s faces changed immediately as they turned towards the Master’s house immediately.

“That energy…!” With the highest cultivation state, Mie Qiongqi’s sensitivity towards energy levels was the strongest as well. The moment Lin Fan summoned his energy grid line chains, he could already sense this boundless sea of energy.

At this moment, the house where their Master was residing within seemed to be contorting gradually. This was a mirage that was formed by the explosive amount of energy.

“Master, what’s wrong?” Zhang Ergou asked in extreme bewilderment.

“Nothing. This is the Master’s powers. To think that Master would be this strong. All of you, look up.” Mie Qiongqi pointed above the house.

The sky was being distorted as well, forming a black vortex of energy whirlpool. Within it, the energy grid line chains swam like eels.

“Energy grid line chains…” Looking at the scene, Mie Qiongqi was stupefied.

Within the black vortex, the amount of energy grid line chains was so dense that it was beyond anyone’s imaginations.

Strong. Simply too strong!

Just how did Master do it?!

As a greater celestial, Mie Qionqi’s comprehension of energy grid line chains was already pretty deep right now.

The more energy grid line chains one possessed, the stronger the person was. As for him, he could only congeal energy grid line chains of ‘Unkillable Indestructible’.

There was just a total of two chains.

But for him, he had been gradually strengthening the power of those two chains.

He understood the difficulty in all of these. Even with that peerless inheritance of Unkillable Indestructible, the grand path of the energy grid line chains was still an extremely tough one to partake in.

But looking at the massive amount of energy grid line chains in that vortex right now, how could he not be shocked at it?!

Suddenly, the entire Glory Sect shook.

Looking in the distance, Grandmaster Yan’s face was solemn as well.

“Grandmaster, look at that…!” Senior Elder Wuya exclaimed in astonishment. The black vortex that was gathered above Nameless Peak was giving him a repressed feeling.

This was the suppression of absolute power.

“That lad is getting more terrifying than ever. That simply isn’t human at all!” A deep shock could be seen through Senior Elder Wuya’s eyes.

All the other Senior Elders nodded their heads in agreement. But at the same time, they were heartened. After all, this lad was a disciple of Glory Sect. The stronger he was, the better for them.

“I’ve never ever once looked at him as a human.” Grandmaster Yan lamented, “How else could anyone gather this number of energy grid line chains? Look at us. How many have we gathered over a hundred years?”

Hearing this, all the other Senior Elders nodded helplessly. Comparisons would definitely just serve to kill them. It was most appropriate to say that this lad wasn’t human at all.

Within the house…

Lin Fan smiled. His smile was more radiant than ever.

“Holy sh*t. This system is indeed getting sicker and sicker!” Lin Fan remarked. To think that he would gather this many energy grid line chains just by sleeping for one year. If he had slept for eighteen years, wouldn’t he be out of this world right now?!

“All of you, come over.” Lin Fan curled his finger as the void trembled violently. One by one, those wild energy grid line chains turned extremely obedient and gentle, swimming around Lin Fan.

“438 energy grid line chains?! How the hell should I handle them?”

After contemplating for a moment, Lin Fan decided.

He would fuse them into his body to strengthen his physical body to an extreme point.

The Eternal Arm only had a mere 100 energy grid line chains, yet its powers were impossible to deny. In fact, it was practically an invincible existence.

‘100 energy grid line chains fuse to left arm.’

As he curled his finger, the energy grid line chains swimming around Lin Fan surged towards Lin Fan’s left arm as though they had found a home.

Coiling around one by one, they entered Lin Fan’s arm.

“Feels alright…” Stretching out his left arm, he drew a line gently in the void, causing a gap to tear open instantly.

‘Fuse to left leg.’

‘Fuse to right leg.’

‘Fuse to body.’

Every single part of his body had now been fused with 100 energy grid line chains. With the remaining 38 chains, Lin Fan thought of the Eternal Donger. Should he strengthen his own donger? But that was just a thought. If he had to use that portion of his to attack someone, he might as well kill himself.

‘Fuse to brain.’

Suddenly, Lin Fan’s body was wrapped around by the energy grid line chains. The countless energy grid line chains flew orderly to all parts of his body.

At the same time, the black vortex in the skies began to disappear gradually.

Lin Fan sat down cross-legged, closing his eyes and slowly sensing the changes in his body. 438 energy grid line chains had fused with all parts of his body. Each of these parts were filled with incredible power.

In fact, Lin Fan could not help but think that if he didn’t control his power while using True Origin Crushing Kick on an enemy, he would definitely smite the opponent to dust immediately. That didn’t seem like an impossible scenario at all.

‘If that’s the case, then I might be able to just stand a chance against the onslaught of the Beast Spirit World.’ Lin Fan had a lot of things on his mind right now.

Beast Spirit World. Heaven’s Will. All of these unknown things were filling his mind with doubts. He had an inexplicable feeling that it wouldn’t be long before all of these things would arrive at Dongling Continent.

But, Lin Fan wasn’t afraid. Now that he had fused with 438 energy grid line chains, wouldn’t he be wasting his year of sleep if he didn’t crush all these enemies?

The pressing matter on Lin Fan’s mind right now was how to grow this Mythical Parasol Tree completely.

The Mythical Parasol Tree had successfully evolved into a seedling with Chicky’s Nirvana. But due to the battle with the big ancient demon, which had caused it to expend way too much lifeforce, its development had been stunted. In fact, it still hadn’t fully healed up even after an entire year.

Perhaps, it was time for him to make a trip to the Manhuang Land to check out if there was any way to salvage this.

The girl who had passed him the Mythical Parasol Tree, Huang Linger, had seen this coming. The look in her eyes when she handed him the Mythical Parasol Tree was clear as day.

Night and day exchanged places.

Next day…

…

Everyone on Nameless Peak was extremely joyous. This was because the Master they had long thought of to be dead has revived.

“Master, there’s still one last dish! It’ll be here in a jiffy!” Feng Bujue shouted out from the kitchen. Lin Fan was pretty stunned right now. Since when had Feng Bujue turned into a cook?!

“Ergou, what’s up with this guy?” Lin Fan asked.

“Master, what?” Chomping down on the dishes, Zhang Ergou looked at his Master in bewilderment, not knowing what he was referring to.

“I’m asking you how does he know cooking now?” After picking up some of the food, he found that the taste was pretty decent when it entered his tummy. If he had not witnessed this for himself, he would not have believed this.

“Junior Brother is really skilled in cooking! Ever since you passed away, everyone had been in a really bad mood. Hence, he started picking up cooking. Everything else aside, his skills are really nothing short of superb. The thing we look forward most to daily other than cultivating is definitely mealtime.” Zhang Ergou replied with a look of happiness.

Lin Fan did not reply, but accepted the fact silently in his heart.

As for Gong Bingye, he too did not know what to do with her. However, he noticed that she didn’t seem to be harboring any plans or intentions, so he just let her be.

After all, he had two little disciples here right now. There would be some things he would require Gong Bingye to teach them in the future. Otherwise, a man such as himself would find it difficult to raise up those issues.

“Master, when are you bringing your wife back?” Munching on her meal, Cai Zhiqiao turned to Lin Fan with her big, innocent eyes.

“Eh?” Lin Fan was stunned. Before he could even recover, a single person entered his mind.

Xuan Yunxian.

“That’s right, Master! In the year you’ve been dead, she has always come by every single month. Each time, she would linger for a pretty long period of time. I don’t think she even knows that you’re revived as of now.” Zhang Ergou continued.

Lin Fan fell into deep thought immediately. That was right! His revival was only known to Glory Sect right now. She probably had no idea.

“Let’s just eat first.” Lin Fan waved his hand dismissively, shaking off the topic. Seemed like he would have to make a trip there eventually.

…

Chapter 384: The Small Differences Between The Two Small Disciples

p>Lin Fan had adjusted his mentality recently, and was no longer in a rush to head out into the outside world. After all, now that he had taken in two small disciples, he ought to train them up properly.

On the training grounds of Nameless Peak, two figures darted around like butterflies, their Blood Qi rumbling. Even though these two disciples were female kids, Blood Qi was still a prerequisite for a good foundation.

Although the significance of having a good Blood Qi was reduced due to the help of Lin Fan’s system, that was only because his cultivation state in Dongling Continent right now was like a god with amazing foresight.

Looking at his little Zhiqiao training up her Will of the Sword, Lin Fan couldn’t help but think back to Cangling Continent.

Even though he had already understood the reason why he was striving so hard to get stronger, revenge was still revenge. He would never let the grudge of his sect’s destruction just disappear like that.

‘The Grandmasters of the nine great sects, Yan Emperor, Heaven Queen, all of you better wipe you’re ases clean and wait for Yours Truly’s return.’

“Master, am I really strong now?” Cai Zhiqiao had just completed level two of the mental skill, Will of the Sword. With that, she scurried over to Lin Fan with her butt twerking, looking at her Master in anticipation.

Lin Fan sobered back up and chuckled, fondling the head of his little Zhiqiao, “Not bad, continue to work hard.”

Upon receiving the praise and Lin Fan’s head fondling, the profession of a Trainer began to do its work as well.

Zhiqiao’s skills of comprehension received yet another massive booster.

Even though training up and cultivating these skills were all a piece of cake for Lin Fan, it was still a pretty remarkable achievement for a kid of Zhiqiao’s age to do all of that.

Obtaining the cultivation state of precelestial middle level at that tender age, her future was practically limitless.

“But you need to learn from your junior sister. Cultivation isn’t about working for three days and resting for two days. You need to persevere consistently.” Lin Fan smiled.

“Yes, understood.” Upon hearing her Master praise her junior sister, Zhiqiao got jealous. Pouting her lips, she took up her long sword and scurried towards the training grounds to continue cultivating.

Even though she was just a tiny little human being, when she swung the sword, she did have quite the stance. The flash of the sword was bright and dazzling. Sure, it could be improved, but her future was definitely bright.

Zhiqiao’s heart was feeling indignant right now. She was the senior sister! How could she lose to her junior sister?

Sipping on his tea and observing the two on the training grounds, Lin Fan could not help but nod his head in approval.

Zhiqiao, this little kid… Be it potential or luck, she used to be extremely average. But now, things were different. Her luck was promising to the Heavens.

As for that little kid, You Jiuling, Lin Fan could not help but acknowledge that with or without his help, she would also become a somebody someday.

Ever since the first time they met, he could tell of her amazing luck. As for her potential, it was tip top as well.

In fact, she was even comparable to Mie Qiongqi.

But to Lin Fan, potential was worth nothing. After all, everyone in Saint Devil Sect, as long as they were under him, would receive a free potential boost.

For example, Zhang Ergou’s potential was equivalent to a pile of dogsht in the past. But right now, it was in tip-top condition as well.

As for luck though, that was something harder to determine. And, You Jiuling’s fortune did seem much favorable than Cai Zhiqiao’s.

But it didn’t matter. As long as Lin Fan was alive, no one would get to bully either of them anyways.

Once the training was over, both Cai Zhiqiao and You Jiuling arrived beside Lin Fan.

Lin Fan was ready to impart some skills to the both of them.

Since Cai Zhiqiao preferred sword techniques, he naturally imparted her Firmament Sword. At the same time, he gave her Nirvana Finger, True Origins Crushing Kick, and Roc’s Breath.

Even though Roc’s Breath was an offensive skill by right, it also had the additional effect of helping one absorb the True Energy of Heaven and Earth.

As for You Jiuling, Lin Fan gave her Faceless Sky Demon, Dragon King’s Hegemony, and True Origins Crushing Kick.

You Jiuling preferred skills that were domineering and bold. These were the skills which Lin Fan felt that he could impart down to them. The others were a no-no.

Blood Sea was an evil skill. He was afraid that they might veer down the wrong path. As for Demon City in a Palm, that was even more sinister, and definitely unsuitable for them.

All the other skills were fine. Additionally, they could even master the skills up to three levels higher than their original maximum levels.

If they could reach a state where they were well versed in them, they would definitely unleash devastating effects that were not to be underestimated.

…

“You guys train well by yourselves. I’ll head out for a bit.” Opening a gap in the voids, Lin Fan stepped right into it.

He should really make a trip down to Xuanjian Sect. Otherwise, he would truly be letting her down.

With Lin Fan’s cultivation state right now, he could easily rip through the void and travel through it at a horrifying speed. However, the higher the speed, the more damage one took from the energy torrents within the voids.

But to someone like Lin Fan, the damage dealt by the energy torrents in the voids were practically nothing at all.

Treading a hundred miles with every step wasn’t out of the tables. But what Lin Fan did not expect was that just something small such as imparting of skills would bring forth the sin of comparison of the two kids.

“Junior sister, I told you. Master loves me the most!” Looking at You Jiuling, Cai Zhiqiao smiled happily while pointing up a single finger, as though she was indicating her victory for this round.

“Master loves me too!” You Jiuling replied, not willing to lose.

“Hehe, but Master imparted four skills to me! You’ve only got three! That’s because he loves me the most, which is why he gave me one more!” Cai Zhiqiao replied happily.

Looking at her gleeful senior sister, You Jiuling pouted her lips, “But, Master just praised me. He just told you to learn from me and train properly without being lazy!”

These words seemed to have a big impact on Cai Zhiqiao as her face turned into one of defeat immediately. However, she regained her smile once more not long later, “But Master gave me four skills!”

“Oh, senior sister, my cultivation state is higher than yours. You’ve entered the sect earlier than me, yet you’re below me in cultivation state. I’m sure Master adores me more because of this!” You Jiuling replied.

“Hmph, so what! I don’t care! And I’m sure Master wouldn’t either!” Cai Zhiqiao raised her head and tossed it to the side. Even though she said that she doesn’t care through words, it did matter quite a bit to her.

“Who says Master wouldn’t mind or care? With a higher cultivation state, I’m sure Master likes me more!” A smile of victory appeared on You Jiuling’s exquisite features.

“No, he doesn’t! He just fondled my head only, but he didn’t do the same to you!” Cai Zhiqiao replied indignantly.

“But my cultivation state’s higher!”

“But Master imparted four skills to me!”

“But my cultivation state’s higher!”

“I’m Master’s first…”

“But my cultivation state’s higher!”

…

“Boohoo! Junior sister, you’re a bully! I’ll never play with you again!” Suddenly, Cai Zhiqiao burst out into tears. Taking up her longsword in one hand and wiping her tears with the other, she ran off into the distance, apparently heartbroken.

“I’ll never play with you EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER again!”

You Jiuling gave off a look of satisfaction. However, looking at the back view of her senior sister, she couldn’t help but feel sad as well. Suddenly, she recalled the words of Sister Gong, “Even though you’re the junior sister, you need to remember that your senior sister’s still young. Hence, you need to protect her well from now on.”

“Senior sister, wait for me! I’ll never make you angry again!”

…

If Lin Fan knew that his two little disciples were arguing over something such as him imparting skills, he would definitely flip over his belly laughing.

Cute. Simply too cute!

…

Much had happened in the span of this one year.

Today was the date of Xuanjian Sect’s Grandmaster ascension ceremony. And of course, the new Grandmaster was none other than Xuan Yunxian.

Since Xuanjian Sect and Glory Sect did not have many connections together, they naturally did not inform Glory Sect of this affair.

While Xuan Yunxian might have visited Lin Fan regularly in Glory Sect, the fact remained that he was still gone from this world. She did not want to use this as an excuse to get closer to Glory Sect.

Although, the previous Grandmaster of Xuanjian Sect did secretly wish that Glory Sect would be present for this ceremony. After all, the presence of Glory Sect would definitely firm up their position as a sect. At the same time, sects which harbored ill intents towards them would definitely be careful to think twice as well.

But Xuan Yunxian did not want to do things that would betray the trust between the both of them. After all, the reason why she loved Lin Fan wasn’t because he was from Glory Sect.

She did not want to rouse any baseless rumors out of that.

Thus, the previous Grandmaster did not press on the issue and invited a few sects they had closer ties with instead.

Chapter 385: Daddy Watches Over Me (1)

p>”These girls from Xuanjian Sect are truly beautiful indeed! Even those junior sisters of our Heaven and Earth Sect pale in comparison to them!” A young man, who was elegantly charming, looked at these girls of Xuanjian Sect who were passing by with a gleeful look.

“Brother Huang, you’re the Big Senior Brother of Heaven and Earth Sect! If you’re interested in any one of them, you can let your Father know and have him propose a marriage. What issue would there be with that?” Another equally suave young man was checking out these female disciples keenly as well.

“HAHA! Brother Li, your words make sense indeed. The both of us are young. It shouldn’t be an issue for us to propose anyone and take in concubines of our own.” Huang Yuanlong laughed.

Both of them come from distinguished backgrounds, and were both the young masters of great sects. They were practically second in authority of the entire sect.

And that, of course, was due to the fact that their fathers were the Grandmasters.

“Well, Xuanjian Sect is an all-female sect after all. If they don’t look for any backing soon, they might truly not make it in the long run. I heard that they were trashed by an evil being just recently. In fact, their entire defense formation was destroyed! If not for the fact that a mysterious man had appeared to aid them, they might not even exist right now!” Huang Yuanlong continued.

“Is that true, Brother Huang? But then again, it wouldn’t be strange if you think about it. While the Grandmaster of Xuanjian Sect is pretty old right now, she doesn’t have to choose the next Grandmaster right here and now. Well, I think that she must have been injured gravely during that battle, and has no choice but to stay behind the scenes.” Li Cangmang replied.

The two of them stood outside the Main Hall of Xuanjian Sect. As though they were picking these girls for themselves, their eyes flared fervently with lust.

They had no intentions of entering the Main Hall at all. To them, everything that was going on inside was extremely boring. Or rather, it was even a waste of time.

They might as well stay here and admire the beauties.

“Hey, Brother Huang. Don’t you think that guy looks extremely arrogant? To think that he’s surrounded by this many beauties!” Looking in the distance, Li Cangmang was displeased.

They had been standing around for quite some time, yet, they didn’t even get to hit on any chicks. To see that guy being surrounded by this bevy of beauties was definitely frustrating.

Looking over, Huang Yuanlong frowned as well. He then curled into a smirk, “Brother Li, let’s go and size him up. We’ll see his background.”

“Senior brother, today’s the ascension ceremony of senior sister! The rouges that you handed us last night were absolutely brilliant! They’re of much higher quality than those I used to use!” A female disciple who was circling around Liu Linfeng called out.

“Of course! That was made for me by my Daddy! He says that that’s called a perfume, not rouge!” Smelling the fragrant scent on his body, Liu Linfeng’s face was filled with happiness. However, the thought of his Daddy who had passed away saddened him.

“Brother Liu, since when did you have a Daddy?!” Lei Yifeng of Daozhong Sect was absolutely astounded. Back in the past, he always knew that Liu Linfeng was a sissy boy. So be it if he were feminine, but to think that he was still so cocky even while being a sissy.

And what was with this dead father and all now?! Lei Yifeng was totally exasperated.

“Brother Liu, you’re really fabulous! This perfume is simply too good!” Xing Yueyu was a disciple of Daozhong Sect as well, and had always been following around Lei Yifeng. However, ever since she used Liu Linfeng’s perfume, it was as though she had turned completely and betrayed Lei Yifeng, acting like complete sisters with Liu Linfeng. In fact, she even got a few bottles from him.

“That’s of course! Oh, right, Brother Lei. Do I need to report to you that I’ve got a Daddy? Oh, you’re really big now, eh?” Liu Linfeng tossed Lei Yifeng a side glance and said in his sissy tone.

The surrounding junior sisters began to giggle. It was as though Liu Linfeng and Lei Yifeng had born grudges for their past eight lives or something, and had to quip at one another the moment they met.

Lei Yifeng twitched his mouth, not wanting to argue back.

“Oh, I wonder how do I address all of you. I am the young master of Heaven and Earth Sect, Huang Yuanlong. This here is the young master of Mountain Sea Sect, Li Cangmang.”

The both of them cupped their fists and called out with a confident smile, as though they wanted to be a part of this group. At the same time, they couldn’t stop nodding in approval as they cast their gazes at the surrounding female disciples.

Not bad. Really decent indeed.

Looking at them once, Liu Linfeng ignored them entirely and continued conversing with his junior sisters, heading towards the Main Hall.

Huang Yuanlong and Li Cangmang frowned, evidently displeased.

Looking at the two of them, Lei Yifeng hurried over to Liu Linfeng, “Brother Liu, you’re totally not giving them any face! These two are not the young masters of just any weak sects! You might get into trouble for this!”

“Huh…trouble? I’m afraid of nothing. Daddy is watching over me. No matter where in this world, no one would dare to bully me! Look at you living like a coward! How pathetic!” Liu Linfeng replied.

Lei Yifeng was thoroughly exasperated right now. This bloody retard! But then again, this should be nothing much, so he didn’t put it in his heart.

…

“Brother Huang, isn’t that guy being too brazen?” Li Cangmang said fuming.

“Hmph, I know the guy beside them. That’s the Big Senior Brother of Daozhong Sect, Lei Yifeng. As for the other guy, his cultivation state is only so-so, nothing spectacular. But I wonder what’s his background. THAT is what we’ve got to check.” Huang Yuanlong’s eyes were sinister, evidently bearing a grudge over this. However, it didn’t matter. There was no rush about this. He would take his sweet time.

…

The ascension ceremony of Xuanjian Sect was spectacular indeed. After all, this was a grand affair for the sect. Even poor sects would try their best to make this event as grandeur as possible.

Outside the Main Hall, they were having a tribute ceremony to pray for good fortune from the Heavens.

“Yunxian, from here on forth, you will be the 138th Grandmaster of Xuanjian Sect. Everything would depend on you in the future.” The previous Grandmaster handed a symbolic ceremonial saber over to Xuan Yunxian.

“Yes.” Xuan Yunxian nodded her head.

Looking at all this, the previous Grandmaster heaved a sigh of relief.

The ceremony was about to end soon.

All the Grandmasters of different sects who had arrived for the ascension ceremony were gathered as well, deep in discussions.

Liu Linfeng stood behind Xuan Yunxian, looking evidently bored. He was especially displeased with the fact that all the other Grandmasters seemed to be looking at his Master with eyes that were far from friendly.

“Grandmaster Xuan, congratulations on your ascension. Oh, my dear son has mentioned something to me earlier that I think would greatly boost the relationship between our two sects. But I wonder if Grandmaster Xuan would give her blessings.” The Grandmaster of Heaven and Earth Sect spoke up.

“Please continue.” Xuan Yunxian was all smiles.

A sect’s position and strength were not only determined by their talents, but also by their relationship with the other sects.

Heaven and Earth Sect and Xuanjian Sect were situated not too far from one another. Besides, their previous generations had a pretty chummy relationship.

“Yuanlong, tell Grandmaster Xuan about it yourself.” The Grandmaster of Heaven and Earth Sect said casually.

Huang Yuanlong, who was standing behind his father, cupped his fists together and greeted.

“Grandmaster Xuan, I’ve taken a liking to that junior sister, and would hope to take her as a partner. I implore you to give us your blessings.” Huang Yuanlong pointed to a female disciple who was talking with Liu Linfeng earlier on.

The moment Li Cangmang heard his Brother Huang speaking up, his eyes sparkled as he headed up as well, “Grandmaster Xuan, I’ve taken a liking to THAT female disciple and would like to implore you to give us your blessings as well.”

Liu Linfeng, who was standing behind Xuan Yunxian, was startled for a moment, before he flew into a rage. His face was especially flushed red when he saw the gleeful and smirking faces of these two.

As for the two female disciples who were chosen, they were completely caught dumbfounded. They had not expected something like this to happen at all!

Xuan Yunxian was stunned for a moment as well, apparently taken aback by the matter and confused by it, “Yunling, Yunyan… the both of you, come out.”

“Grandmaster…!” The both of them stood out, an innocent and dazed look on their faces. How did this happen? They cast their glances at Liu Linfeng, hoping he would take a stand for them.

The previous Grandmaster patted the back of Xuan Yunxian’s palms unknowingly.

Xuan Yunxian looked at her Master before asking, “The two of you… Do you agree?”

“We…we…!” The two of them were panicking right now. Even though they were living a carefree life in the sect, they did know of some affairs here and there.

And just as the two of them were caught at a loss, Liu Linfeng stood out.

Chapter 386: Daddy Watches Over Me (2)

p>”I’ll reply for my two junior sisters… No.” With that, Liu Linfeng stepped forth and looked at the two men in disdain.

“Hmph. How about you two take a piss and look at your reflection in it? With your looks, you dare to taint my junior sisters? You guys truly think you’re worthy?” Liu Linfeng snorted contemptuously.

“Feng…!” The moment Xuan Yunxian heard this, she frowned.

“Master, don’t worry! What do they take Xuanjian Sect for? A place where they can take anything they like? The two of them look especially shady, with the looks of a rat. One look at them and I know that they can’t be anything good. Our junior sisters would definitely be trampled upon if they were to follow these two back!” Liu Linfeng could not be bothered with these two men.

“Kid, what are you talking about!” Suddenly, Huang Yuanlong stood out and lashed at Liu Linfeng, pointing his finger at the latter.

He had not expected this kid to insult them in front of all the masses!

“Hmph.” Liu Linfeng tossed him another glance of disdain, entirely disregarding his existence.

“Good…GOOD! Seems like our sect is worth nothing in the eyes of Xuanjian Sect, eh?” The Heaven and Earth Sect’s Grandmaster’s face was grim right now.

“Grandmaster Xuan, seems like it doesn’t matter whether we’re here or not, eh? Fair enough. But don’t blame us if we do not lend you any bit of assistance should Xuanjian Sect require any in the future, eh?” The Grandmaster of Mountain Sea Sect replied coldly.

“Hmph, my Daddy watches over Xuanjian Sect! Who needs to look for you guys for help? Don’t think too highly of yourselves!” Even though Liu Linfeng’s voice was extremely sissy sounding, his disposition right now was extremely domineering and imposing in the eyes of his junior sisters.

“FENG…!” Xuan Yunxian had no choice but to raise her voice, evidently slightly riled right now.

“Very good, Grandmaster Xuan. Don’t say that I’m not giving you any face then. Your disciple here has been raining insults over us time and again today. Fine, I’ll teach him a good lesson, so that he’ll know some discipline. This is just in case he heads out there one day with that arrogant attitude and finds himself dying without even knowing how or who he had offended!” The face of the Grandmaster of Heaven and Earth Sect was grim right now. He was almost ready to strike.

Lei Yifeng was completely stumped. He had not expected Brother Lin to be this brash! To think that he would just lash out at the Grandmasters of two great sects! That was extremely brazen!

But soon after, he began worrying as well. Even though the two of them were always squabbling, there was still friendship after that many years of knowing one another. While there might be no danger of death, Liu Linfeng might not be able to escape the physical pain that was incoming.

“Ho? You wanna whack me? Do you think you’ve got what it takes? Daddy’s watching over me. You better be careful that you’re not the one who’s hung to be whacked by my Daddy instead!” Liu Linfeng took back a few steps before pointing at the Grandmaster of Heaven and Earth Sect and lashing out.

“INSOLENT…!” The Grandmaster of Heaven and Earth Sect was totally riled right now.

“Please show some mercy!” Xuan Yunxian was stunned, as she hurriedly spoke out to diffuse the situation.

BAM!

Suddenly, a bright flash of light shot out from the Grandmaster of Heaven and Earth Sect onto Liu Linfeng.

A bright protective barrier appeared, protecting Liu Linfeng within it and completely absorbing the attack of the Grandmaster of Heaven and Earth Sect.

“Hmph, to think that you’ve got a treasure protecting you. That’s why you dare to get to impertinent eh?” His face turned really cold.

Looking at this, Xuan Yunxian heaved a sigh of relief. She was really worried for a moment there. Taking yet another few steps back, Liu Linfeng’s heart was thumping furiously. Looking at the locket on his neck, he felt relieved.

“Hit me, and I assure you that no one in this world will be able to protect you anymore!” Liu Linfeng pointed his finger at the Grandmaster of Heaven and Earth Sect once more. He then tilted his head up into the skies and wailed.

“DADDY! I’m being attacked! He’s going to kill me! Please save me, Daddy…!!!”

…

Everyone who had come to attend the ceremony was completely stupefied right now, bewildered by the scene before them.

Was this disciple of Xuanjian Sect just a bloody fool?!

“Feng, what’s up with this?” Looking at the way Liu Linfeng was behaving, Xuan Yunxian could not help but feel pained.

Yunling and Yunyan looked at their senior brother blankly as well.

Didn’t senior brother say that his Daddy was dead? Why was he seeking the help of his Daddy now then?

Just what was wrong with senior brother?

The previous Grandmaster of Xuanjian Sect was caught at a loss as well. Seemed like the affairs of this day might not be able to end so smoothly after all.

Both Heaven and Earth Sect and Mountain Sea Sect were in no bit weaker than Xuanjian Sect. If they were to really turn the tables, what should the disciples of Xuanjian Sect do in the future?

“To think that a lunatic exists within Xuanjian Sect. Do you think that you’ll be saved just by crying like that?” Huang Yuanlong spat out as he looked at Liu Linfeng contemptuously.

“Hmph, and I thought how great Xuanjian Sect was. To think that all they did was to nurture a retard.” Li Cangmang added on.

…

Xuan Yunxian’s face was pale right now, “Feng, he’s already dead…”

“No! I went to look at him half a year ago! I could feel and sense his presence! He told me that if I were to ever be bullied, all I’ve got to do is scream out for him and he’ll watch over me!” Liu Linfeng replied resolutely.

“Hais, Feng, you…” Naturally, Xuan Yunxian could not believe these words.

Liu Linfeng looked at the Grandmasters of Heaven and Earth Sect and Mountain Sea Sect, “You guys are dead…!”

“Daddy, hurry up! If you don’t come, I’ll really be walloped to death!”

…

“Insolent…TRULY INSOLENT!” Both of the Grandmasters were truly incensed right now. As for the other Grandmasters present, none of them spoke up. All of them just remained seated quietly. After all, this was none of their business.

All they had to do was to eat their popcorn and enjoy the show.

“Both Grandmasters, please calm down. My disciple he…” Just as Xuan Yunxian was about to try and explain everything, something changed.

The sky changed.

BOOM!

Everyone was startled by the suddenly crackling sound in the sky, as a thick thunderbolt circled around like an electric dragon.

A pitch-black vortex suddenly appeared right above the sky of Xuanjian Sect. A terrifying power could be felt within the vortex, causing everyone’s heart to shudder.

“What’s that?”

“Why did something like that happen?”

…

Everyone was completely stunned as they stared at the pitch-black vortex, trying to understand the situation right now.

“HAHA! Daddy is here! With Daddy’s light protecting me, how dare you guys think of hitting me! You’ll surely cry later!” Looking at the sky, Liu Linfeng laughed out excitedly.

Xuan Yunxian looked at Liu Linfeng, her face changing rapidly. She still couldn’t believe that this was caused by Liu Linfeng.

…

At the moment within those boundless void…

A shadow was hidden. Looking at the situation below, he couldn’t help but laugh out madly with his hands covering his stomach. Just as Lin Fan was preparing to head down to Xuanjian Sect, he heard his cheap son, Liu Linfeng shouting out.

With that, he couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Towards Liu Linfeng, Lin Fan was really pretty speechless as well.

This kid didn’t use to be like this at the start. To think that he had turned even whinier after being trained up. If not for the fact that Lin Fan had seen so many things before, he might have been shocked to death.

Perhaps this had something to do with personality.

But, Lin Fan was pretty pleased indeed with Liu Linfeng’s actions.

If he didn’t act so cockily knowing that he had the backing of Yours Truly, how else would Liu Linfeng survive out there in the world?

But since that was the case, Lin Fan would follow suit to make this a good show. It was time to give these so-called sects a good scare as well.

Curling his fingers, all 438 energy grid line chains shot out from his body massively. They then coiled around, forming an energy grid line dragon, and coursed through the Heavens and Earth while howling wildly.

…

Liu Linfeng took a stride forwards. Flicking his robes with an extremely sissy voice, he shrieked, “All of you better open your eyes wide! Daddy’s here!”

BOOM!

Suddenly, an energy grid line dragon appeared from the black vortex. The formidable aura that was being emitted was explosive, repressing the masses.

“How could this be…?!”

Everyone’s gazes were fixated at the sky, completely stumped by the scene before them.

Chapter 387: If I Say You Can, You Can.

p>Looking at the black vortex up in the void, Liu Linfeng was momentarily stunned as well.

“Daddy…isn’t this way too crazy?!” Liu Linfeng was startled by the ferocity of the vortex.

Under the repressing aura, both Grandmasters of Heaven and Earth Sect and Mountain Sea Sect were feeling their hearts thumping furiously. In fact, it was so formidable that they could hardly muster up any courage to resist this.

“Just where is this source of energy coming from?” The Grandmaster of Heaven and Earth Sect could feel his heart surging like a tsunami in the face of this weird occurrence. Even if he were to die right now, he would not believe that this massive energy was created by that retarded boy before him.

The same went for the Grandmaster of Mountain Sea Sect. He felt like a tiny ant in the face of this terrifying force.

All the other Grandmasters could no longer maintain their sideline positions as they stood up one by one, casting their gazes at this figure standing there.

Could it be that this tremendous energy was summoned by that silly boy there?

“Yunxian, this…!” The previous Grandmaster of Xuanjian Sect did not know what to say. Everything was happening way too quickly.

“I have no idea what this is either. Unless there’s a mysterious enemy that’s striking at us right now.” Xuan Yunxian asked in a daze.

…

“HAHA! Whack me? I’m telling you, my Daddy’s watching over me right now! The two of you better start trembling in fear!” Liu Linfeng shrieked out loudly.

“DADDY…!!!”

BOOM!

The energy grid line dragon that was coiling around the energy vortex howled wildly. Finally, it spiraled down rapidly towards Liu Linfeng.

“FENG, MOVE! IT’S DANGEROUS!” The moment Xuan Yunxian saw this, her face changed entirely.

“It’s alright.” Looking at the energy grid line dragon that was descending from the skies, Liu Linfeng did not have a single strain of fear. In fact, he was filled with anticipation.

…

BOOOOOOOM!

In that instant, a bright flash erupted, blinding everyone present. This flash was simply too dazzling, such that no one could see anything beyond it at all.

By the time the light dispersed, everyone was completely stumped by the scene before them.

Just what in the world was that?

“This…!” Xuan Yunxian looked at that massive figure that appeared behind Liu Linfeng and she shuddered, losing her balance. In fact, she might have fallen over if there weren’t anyone there helping her up.

“It’s him…!”

…

Liu Linfeng did not feel any changes happening to his body. But the moment he cast his gaze behind him, he was totally stunned. Finally, he screamed out emotionally.

“DADDY…!!!”

The energy grid line dragon finally formed into an illusory figure of Lin Fan, as he floated gently behind Liu Linfeng.

“Hmph, do you guys see it now? This is my Daddy! How dare the two of you act so boldly in front of me? I wonder where you get your courage from!” Raising his head tall, Liu Linfeng swept his robes and hollered out domineeringly.

“You…!” The faces of the two opposing Grandmasters changed. But, they watched the figure behind Liu Linfeng right now cautiously.

Just what in the hell was this? How could this happen?

…

“Do you see now, Master? I told you! Daddy’s watching over Xuanjian Sect! Who do we have to be afraid of?” Liu Linfeng chuckled.

Xuan Yunxian looked at the illusory figure behind Liu Linfeng. She then looked around in all directions, as though she was searching for something.

“COME OUT!!! I KNOW YOU’RE NOT DEAD!!!” Xuan Yunxian screamed out into the sky.

All the various Grandmasters who were here to attend the ceremony had no idea whom Grandmaster Xuan was talking to right now. They did not know what those words meant as well.

“COME ON OUT…!!!” Xuan Yunxian did not believe in this so-called protective barrier of Liu Linfeng. That was evidently created by energy grid line chains!

And if energy grid line chains were appearing, that meant that the person it belonged to must be alive!

But she had just gone to Glory Sect the month before. His body was still lying motionless within that crystal coffin!

Just what in the world was going on right now?

Xuan Yunxian was in a flurry and needed to find out!

…

Hidden within the void, Lin Fan let out a sigh. Damn! He had wanted to give Liu Linfeng a chance to act for a little bit. But seemed like he could no longer do so the way things were turning out.

Xuan Yunxian’s agitated and peerlessly beautiful face right now was urgent and worried.

At that moment, a figure appeared in the sky and gently floated down below.

Xuan Yunxian stared blankly at that slowly approaching figure, as though she could not believe her very eyes.

It had been an entire year. Day after day, night after night, each time a little bit of hope even rose in her heart, it would immediately be shattered the moment she caught sight of that lifeless body within the crystal coffin once more.

He was never coming back anymore.

But now that this person of her endless hopes and dreams had appeared right before her…was this reality anymore?

Lin Fan looked at Xuan Yunxian. Even though it had only been a single year for him, she had spent every day thinking of him, as though they were years.

Lin Fan did not know what else he could say. Eventually, he just smiled.

“Ah…haha! My apologies! I’ve just revived, so…” Before he could finish, a figure had thrown herself entirely within his embrace.

Caught surprised, Lin Fan was stunned for a moment. He then chuckled out briefly before holding onto her tender waist and patting her back. There was nothing more he could say right now.

Perhaps, one needed some time alone to take in a fact such as this.

“As long as you’re back…” At this moment, Xuan Yunxian carried zero airs of being a Grandmaster. The look of happiness on her face was just like a satisfied demure wife.

Standing at the sides, Liu Linfeng started wailing emotionally. Lei Yifeng stepped forth to try to console his good friend. However, the moment he walked over, Liu Linfeng hugged Lei Yifeng tightly and started sobbing on his shoulders.

Lei Yifeng’s jaws nearly dropped down to the ground…Brother Liu! Image! Our image…!!!

All the other Grandmasters present were equally lost.

What in the world was going on right now! Just what sort of relationship did Grandmaster Xuan share with this man?!

And who was this man to begin with?!

At this moment, the feeling of that formidable force earlier was still on their minds. That was a horrifying aura indeed.

“Alright, there’s so many people present right now. Today’s the day of your grand ascension. We can talk about other stuff later on. I’ll be here for a while.” Lin Fan spoke up.

“Yes.” Xuan Yunxian nodded her head and wiped her eyes. Noticing the gazes of the various Grandmasters, she flushed a little bit shyly.

“Daddy! You’re finally here! I’ve been bullied by these two!” Liu Linfeng ran up and hugged Lin Fan’s thighs, bawling out. Looking at Liu Linfeng who was at his thighs, Lin Fan chuckled out exasperatedly, “If you’re bullied, just fight back!”

“But, I can’t beat them!” Liu Linfeng replied.

“Oh, don’t worry. If I say you can beat them, you can.” Lin Fan replied casually.

“Okay!”

…

Lin Fan looked over at the two Grandmasters. Within that seemingly normal gaze, there was a frosty chill enough to send shivers down their spines.

The moment the two Grandmasters caught Lin Fan’s gaze, their hearts skipped a beat.

“Hmph, how dare you bully me? Eat my punch!” Liu Linfeng’s trust towards Lin Fan was blind and faithful. No matter how strong the opponent was, he threw a punch over.

BAM!

The Grandmaster of Heaven and Earth Sect flew far into the distance.

“HAHA! Let’s see if you still dare to bully me! Watch my punches!” Looking at the scene before him, Liu Linfeng was excited beyond words.

…

For the two Grandmasters, it was an extremely simple task for them to squash an ant like Liu Linfeng. However, at this moment, they did not dare to retaliate at all.

Even though that mysterious man did not strike at all, that gaze earlier had caused their blood to freeze. They could barely stir up any energy to resist this man.

They firmly believed that if they had retaliated, their lives would have ended entirely and completely in that very instant.

…

Special Translator Thoughts:

Hi guys, I’m sorry I’ve got to add in my translator notes in this manner because my message was so long that it exceeded the Translator Thought’s word limits.

Okay, back on the Premium situtation. So, I hope you guys know and understand by now that Qidian is actually paying for our translators without having anything in return. I know some of you may claim that ad revenue is something which they can earn money from, but let me assure you that the amount of money earned from ad revenue is far from enough to pay for the loss they are making. In the long term, Qidian’s webnovel side will simply be forced to shut down as with any other non-profiting company and there will be no one else to properly provide translations at an acceptable pacing. I understand the frustrations some of you may have regarding the translation quality and speed of certain novels despite being those translators being paid as well. But trust me when I say that I’ve spoken to them about it and I can say with utmost assurance that they are trying to do something about it to ensure that you are getting your money’s worth. But of course, the team is small for now and compared to the amount of problems they are facing, we really need to give them our faith and understanding that things will work out in the long run. While certain fan translations from the past may have worked out well in terms of speed and quality, Qidian is taking the tough road of trying to regulate the market to make it viable by forking out money on their end as an investment for things to pan out. Premium Program may not be a perfect project by all means, but it is still a good concept that was conceived that allows the Translators, Authors and Company to benefit together in the long term. Give them time to refine and work out the creases in the system and together, we can help build a better future for the scene.

Now, for the Premium Program, there will be a burst release of chapters to come along with the inception of TSS into the project. I have just met with them today (For those of you who dont know, I’ve just arrived in Shanghai recently) and I have requested for even more chapters to be released than they had originally planned. This is the most I can do for you guys for now!

If I have to comment ONE bad thing about the Premium Program, it would be that with the mass release and availability of chapters, that would mean that I would have to spread my attention span across the comments of TONS of available chapters. As such, reading on your comments and interacting with you guys would definitely face an inevitable drop as well. But at the very least, I’ll make sure that MOST of my attention will be spent towards the latest chapters of BOTH locked and unlocked chapters. Hopefully that’ll help me keep up with you guys more!

So, that’s all I have to say about it guys! Thank you for staying with me all these while and always listening to my long rants! I’ll still be here as always, and if you need extra attention, there is always my discord where you can tag and reach out to me at any moment. Here’s hoping that you guys enjoy the chapters available tomorrow and lets wait to see what the future holds for us! Cheers!

Chapter 388: A Scene That’s Hard To Understand

p>With the silence of the entire place, the sounds of wallops were ever more piercing.

All the Grandmasters felt as though they were lying down on a bed of thorns. They couldn’t even bare to look properly at the two men who were being walloped on the ground right now.

At the very least, those two were Grandmasters of Heaven and Earth Sect and Mountain Sea Sect! To think that they would be rained with punches by a junior without even daring to retaliate at all? That would definitely be a laughing joke if this spread out!

“This…!” Looking at the scene before her, Xuan Yunxian was caught at a loss as well. No matter what, those two were Grandmasters of a sect. Wasn’t this a little…inappropriate?

“It’s alright, let them be.” Lin Fan waved his hand dismissively. Something like this wouldn’t result in any deaths. In fact, Liu Linfeng probably wouldn’t leave any bit of damage on these two at all.

Huang Yuanlong and Li Cangmang were totally dumbfounded right now. They could not understand what in the world was happening. How could this damned guy be whacking their Grandmasters to roll on the ground?

On the main seat, Lin Fan stood beside Xuan Yunxian. He then looked down at the masses below and coughed gently, “Yunxian is my wife. And me? I am Glory Sect’s Lin Fan. Now that Yunxian has become Xuanjian Sect’s Grandmaster, I hope that you guys can take care and watch out for them in the future. Lin Fan offers his thanks in advance.”

Lin Fan knew that Xuanjian Sect could neither be considered extremely strong nor weak. They were stuck in an awkward position of power. The sects in Dongling Continent were as many as the hair on a cow’s body, uncountable. Well, people might not know of many other sects, but they would have definitely have heard of Glory Sect.

Lin Fan knew that he couldn’t possibly keep watch over Xuanjian Sect all the time. Hence, he had to have these people submit to his power and understand their positions. That way, they would think twice before making any decisions at all.

And evidently, Lin Fan had looked down on the power of his own name.

The moment he said ‘Glory Sect’s Lin Fan’, everyone’s jaws dropped apart.

What was the hottest news that has been spreading across the entire Dongling Continent for this entire year? Of course, it wasn’t about any sects becoming stronger or any sects getting destroyed. It was all about Glory Sect’s Lin Fan sacrificing himself to take down the big ancient demon and saving the entire Dongling Continent in the process.

“Glory Sect’s Lin Fan…! Isn’t he dead?!”

“That’s right! But what’s this all about right now then?”

“I don’t know. I don’t get it at all!”

“But to think that Xuanjian Sect would have ties with Glory Sect! In fact, Grandmaster Xuan can be considered someone of Glory Sect right now!”

…

Everyone was deep in whispers. The news was like a hurricane, tearing apart the peace in their hearts. Their faces were filled with disbelief as well.

As for whether this was a bluff, they obviously guessed not.

No matter what, Xuanjian Sect was a medium sized sect. There was no way they would dare to take out something like this as a joke.

The Grandmasters of Heaven and Earth Sect and Mountain Sea Sect, who were being walloped by Liu Linfeng right now, were equally stupefied by the news.

After that, their hearts were filled with helplessness. If that was truly the case, this was someone they could never hope to offend in their entire lifetime!

Listening to these words, Xuan Yunxian’s cheeks flushed pink. At the same time, her gaze at Lin Fan was ever more loving and adoring.

The previous Grandmaster of Xuanjian Sect sighed helplessly. Since things had come down to this, what else could she say?

For some of the newer disciples of Xuanjian Sect, this was astonishing. They had not expected Xuanjian Sect to have such a backing! Even though they had entered later than the others, who didn’t know of Glory Sect’s name? This was practically a household name!

With such a backing, all of the Xuanjian Sect disciples were excited beyond words.

And with that, the ascension ceremony came to a fruitful closure.

After being walloped by Liu Linfeng, the Grandmasters of Heaven and Earth Sect and Mountain Sea Sect sat there quietly and obediently. Each time they crossed looks with Lin Fan, their hearts sank downwards as they gave him an awkward chuckle.

…

Night time…

Xuanjian Sect’s disciple residences…

The disciples who stayed near to Xuan Yunxian had all moved elsewhere for the night. Some of the disciples could not figure out why their senior sisters would move around and not sleep at their own places. This was really interesting indeed.

But, if they had experienced the events a year earlier, they would understand the reasoning behind these actions.

…

Within the house, a dim light lit up the place…

“Eh, Yunxian. Why have all the disciples outside left their own places?” Within the house, Lin Fan was soaking his feet in a bucket of water. The warm water was extremely comfortable right now.

Even though Lin Fan did not take a look outside personally, he was at a state of being where he could sense any and every bit of happening outside, down to the grass swaying with the wind. There was absolutely nothing that could be hidden from him.

Yunxian was stunned for a moment, not understanding either. However, when it finally hit her, her peerlessly beautiful face blushed with embarrassment.

Lin Fan had yet to understand, “Truly weird indeed. Yunxian, I can do it myself.”

The moment Lin Fan caught sight of Xuan Yunxian washing his feet for him, he couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. It did seem a little unbecoming for a Grandmaster of a sect to wash his feet for him.

“It’s okay, I’ll do it.” Xuan Yunxian’s tender fingers massaged Lin Fan’s toes gently. Her eyes looked at Lin Fan melancholically, as though she wanted to imprint his face right now into her heart forever.

“What’s wrong? Is there anything on my face?” Lin Fan asked densely and curiously.

“No, I just want to look at you properly and clearly and carve your looks into my heart. If you leave me one day, even if it takes a thousand years, I will search through the end of the world and find you.” Xuan Yunxian replied with a blossoming smile and a loving tone.

Lin Fan smiled without saying anything.

Taking time to accept, growing something from nothing… Emotions could blossom over time. This was something that Lin Fan firmly believed in.

Even when things might feel wrong at times, on second thoughts, they might not be that wrong after all. Perhaps, everything might have just been fate that was arranged by the Heavens.

…

The night turned darker as Xuanjian Sect fell entirely silent.

The lights in the house dimmed gradually as well.

Lin Fan laid at a corner of the bed quietly without budging an inch. What happened back then was a special circumstance. Now that he didn’t pop any pills, he did feel awkward to make any bold moves.

Xuan Yunxian laid at another corner silently, waiting patiently as well.

“Are you asleep?” Lin Fan asked.

“No.” She replied tenderly.

“Can you fall asleep?” Under the dim night sky, Lin Fan’s face blushed redder as well. He felt like he was the Big Bad Wolf, digging his way closer and closer each time.

“Yes.” She replied gently.

Shuffling his leg, Lin Fan slowly inserted his leg into her warm blanket and slowly budged ever closer. The moment his feet made contact with Xuan Yunxian’s tender skin, he stopped, as though waiting for something to happen.

“Oh, I’m just checking to see if you’re cold under the blanket.” Lin Fan explained.

As if.

If someone of a greater celestial state could be afraid of the cold, he or she could just jump down straight to hell…

“It’s actually pretty cold.” Yunxian continued shyly.

“Ah! I’m actually pretty warm right here! Let me go over and give you some of my warmth. I’ll leave once you feel better!”

One leg.

Two legs.

The entire body.

And with that, the both of them were snuggled under a single blanket.

To Lin Fan, this was a great improvement.

…

The previous Grandmaster of Xuanjian Sect had been pondering.

“That’s strange. Why’s there no sound this time round? But oh well, that’s good as well. We can finally get a good night’s rest. Seems like our sect’s going to tread on the fast track and soar from here on forth.” She thought reassuredly.

“Ah…!”

“Ahhhhh…! AHHHH…!!!”

And just then, a series of sounds rang through.

The previous Grandmaster sighed exasperatedly. Seemed like this was going to be yet another sleepless night…

“Gentler…that’s a little too deep…!”

“Ah, right. Right. It’s my bad.”

“Yup, just like that. That’s very comfortable. Are you tired up there? Do you want me to be on top so that you can lie down and rest?”

“It’s alright. This way, you’ll feel better.”

“Actually, I read a book previously…”

“What book?”

“Erm…, well, there’s actually a picture within the book of…of you behind me…”

“Behind? What behind? Oh, oh! Then let’s give that a try!”

“Yes…”

Piak piak…

PIAK PIAK PIAK PIAK PIAK…

Under the night skies, two figures meld together into one. Long hair swaying, sweat pouring down like rain… They were filled with whispers as they moved into all sorts of positions and poses…

The way of the Yin and Yang was innumerable. Tonight, it went all the way to the climax…

Chapter 389: Old Black Dog Finds His Fated Person

p>In a blood coloured world, the entire place was dark red. There was a river that was wide and boundless like an ocean. At the far ends, a figure was seated cross-legged, surrounded by a blood bubble.

As though it had a life of its own, the boundless Blood Sea gushed into the body of that figure rapidly.

BOOM!

In that instant, the Blood Sea was split into two. The figure opened its eyes suddenly, as a blood colored flash of light shot out, piercing through the entire Blood Sea to the Heavens and Earth.

“Finally, I can communicate through the source of the Blood World.”

“I’ve already fulfilled your wish. It’s time for you to hold up your end of the bargain.” At that moment, a voice boomed out from the void across the entire Blood World.

This black robed person was the 12th Level Master of Blood Kill Sect. He or she had made a trade with this mysterious person a year ago. Now that this mysterious person had helped him/her to communicate with the Blood World and understand its source, that could be considered a fulfilled trade.

“Acting mysterious and the likes… If there’s anything you want, come out here and tell me yourself.” The voice of the Blood Kill Sect Grandmaster was neutral, and one would be unable to discern the person’s gender from it at all.

“Are you trying to renege on your end of the bargain?” The voice boomed out once more.

“So what if I am? What can you do about that? You’re far too naïve.” The Grandmaster laughed coldly. Turning into a streak of light, he/she broke through the barrier of the Blood World and exited the place.

The void was silent. The mysterious person was not angry because of this at all, as though this was all within his/her calculations.

“Hmph…” A cold snort permeated the Blood World before dissipating slowly into nothingness.

…

Dongling Continent, Blood Kill Sect Level 12.

The Blood Kill Sect Grandmaster grasped his/her hands tightly together, feeling the massive amount of energy that was surging through his/her body. At the same time, it was a grand thing for him/her to be able to communicate through to the Blood World’s source. Every single past generation of Grandmasters had tried to communicate to the Blood World, but no one succeeded.

The only puzzling thing right now was this: Who is that mysterious person?

Even though the mysterious person’s powers were extremely powerful, he/she was unable to present his/her physical body.

This was the conclusion of the Grandmaster after countless experimentations. Hence, the Grandmaster decided to make use of such a circumstance to take advantage of it first. As for the mysterious person’s request, naturally, the Grandmaster would delightfully ignore it.

…

After a few days of Xuanjian Sect’s hospitality, Lin Fan left the place. As for Xuan Yunxian, he had already come to terms with it. At times, he even felt that the feeling was pretty nice. Well, he would get used to it sooner or later.

There were still a few places left on the Seven Saint Treasure Map that Lin Fan wanted to search at. Given his current cultivation state, his speed at traversing through the void was extremely fast. Hence, he did not have to waste much time.

‘Destroyed Grounds.’

This was one of the remaining places of the Seven Saint Treasure Maps.

The Destroyed Grounds was one of the most dangerous places in the entire Dongling Continent. There was not a single bit of lifeforce to be found in this place, which remained desolated without boundaries. Even the sky itself was gray and dark there, filling one with a repressed feeling.

Sects would not even bring their disciples over here to train up. After all, this was a desolated piece of land without a single treasure. Other than the few ferocious beasts that were present, there was nothing else to be gained from a place like this.

Looking at the desolated place before him, Lin Fan was feeling helpless as well.

This bloody old dog Seven Saint, he was really good at hiding things, wasn’t he? Every single place he hid things at was funny and weird. Lin Fan wondered where the next secret chamber would be built at in this place.

But based on that pissy character of the Seven Saint old dog, the treasure must naturally be hidden in the most dangerous place.

“Chicky, take a good sniff and find where the secret chamber of that dog lies!” Lin Fan released Chicky from his storage.

Landing on the ground, Chicky sniffed left and right. He then leaped off wildly into the distance.

“Even though Chicky doesn’t look like it, he IS pretty useful.” Looking at the fleeing figure, Lin Fan could not help but comment in acknowledgment. Then, he followed after Chicky without thinking too much, with his thousand feet a step speed.

“How did this Destroyed Grounds form?” This was the serious question that Lin Fan was thinking about along the way. But, as he cast his gaze into the distance, he was stunned.

There was a group of mountains about a million feet tall that had been leveled by some unknown force.

‘GRAWHHHHHHHHHHHH…!’

Suddenly, a beast burst out of the ground and lunged at Lin Fan with its mouth wide open.

Lin Fan did not mind this too much. With his current physical body state, all he had to do was to continue forth and let the beast collide with him for the beast to be destroyed entirely.

Not too long later, Chicky came to a stop at a deep location.

Along the way, Lin Fan had encountered multiple beasts. To any normal people, these beasts would be strong enough to suppress them completely. But to Lin Fan, these were like ants.

“What the hell is up with this magnificent looking place?”

He was stumped by the sight before him.

The void was pitch black, with lightning crackling across it. A thunderbolt streaked through the Heavens and Earth, as though it was like a deep crevice of Hell, sending chills down one’s spine.

This was a natural occurrence formed by the Destroyed Grounds, and it had existed for a long time without disappearing.

‘Cuckoo…!’ Chicky looked at Lin Fan while pawing below, as though telling him that the secret chamber was right below.

Seeing this, Lin Fan could not help but feel exasperated. Seemed like this old dog Seven Saint was using the same trick over and over again. He loved to have the secret chambers hidden underground.

Lin Fan placed his palm on the ground, and True Energy poured out of it. With a gentle press, the entire place rumbled violently as the ground caved in. Instantly, the figure of Chicky and Lin Fan were lost within it, swallowed down.

…

Lin Fan checked out his surroundings. Indeed, it was as Chicky said, the secret chamber was definitely here. There was a stone gate that was sealed shut. The secret chamber must definitely lie within.

Beside the stone gates, bones laid scattered everywhere. Evidently, there must have been people who had visited this place in the past. However, for some unknown reason, they had passed away here. However, looking at the state of the white bones, they seemed to have been chewed on. It was as though these guys were murdered by some weird, mysterious beast.

BAM!

This stone door was like air to Lin Fan as he sent it flying with a single kick.

But the moment he entered the secret chamber, he frowned.

While the layout was exactly the same as before, there was nothing hidden in this place. Not only were the jade white bones gone, so was the box that was supposed to be laid on the stone table.

At this moment, Lin Fan took out the Seven Saint black dog from his storage.

“Seems like you’re in luck. The ‘fated’ person you’ve been waiting for should have been here already.” Lin Fan chuckled to the black dog.

The black dog shrugged its head. Those eyes were no longer filled with malice. In fact, they seemed to be recalling something.

‘Eh…?’ Suddenly, Lin Fan felt it.

From the unknown, a mysterious force was connected to the black dog.

“You deserve death.”

HOLY SHT! The black dog started talking!

“Holy fck! He turned into a spirit…!” Lin Fan was startled, evidently not ready for this.

Listening to these words of the black dog, Chicky cried out loudly and sent a claw flying towards the black dog.

The domineering look of Chicky was akin to telling the black dog that he should mind his tone.

The black dog’s body slammed into the walls. Then, it stood up, and the ferocity in its eyes returned once more, “Pitiful fella. Now that the doomsday of Dongling Continent is approaching, you won’t be able to act that way for much longer.”

“Old dog, even though I don’t understand what you’re saying fully, by the sounds of it, you seem to be living quite a good life now eh? Even though I don’t know who that ‘fated’ person is, how about you bring him over to meet me?” Lin Fan chuckled once more.

“You won’t have the chance to meet him. After all, you’re not too far from death. These two strains of consciousness that you have obtained from me? You can have them. As for the other secret chambers, you don’t have to go anymore. After all, I’ve already retrieved every single last one of them in the past year you were gone. My might is not something you can imagine…HAHAHA!”

Instantly, after the black dog finished its words, its body began to expand rapidly.

“Hoho. Self-destruction of the consciousness? Boring.” Drawing a circle in the void, Lin Fan tossed the black dog into those endless void.

It exploded soon after. But by then, it was none of Lin Fan’s business.

…

“No matter what, this Seven Saint old dog is an Ancient Being. But what’s up with all this Ancient stuff? Xuanhuang World did not have an Ancient period at all in its entire existence. Evidently, none of these belong to this world.” Lin Fan was silent for a moment. This was the point he could not get at all. Recalling everything that had happened so far, he thought up of a single possibility.

The cultivation states being restricted.

Everyone from Dongling Continent being unable to breakthrough to a higher state.

The barrier between Heaven and Earth.

This barrier should be the final reason for all of this.

“Bloody hell. F*ck all this thinking. We’ll go one step at a time.” The moment he thought of all this complicated stuff, his head hurt. It was better to live life without much worries and troubles.

Chapter 390: You Wanna Get To F*ck the Ground Once More?

p>And with that, the Seven Saint Treasure Map came to an end. Lin Fan had not expected the Seven Saint to bloody be able to find a fated person. He did not know who this person was, to be so unlucky and misfortunate to meet with such a tragedy.

But to Lin Fan, perhaps that old Seven Saint had been pushed to the edge by him. As such, he just took anybody who passed by, regardless of their potential or luck, dragging him/her into cultivation immediately.

Seemed like it was the right move for the Seven Saint to split up his consciousness and spread them across the various forbidden grounds. After all, this ensured the highest rate of success.

But to Lin Fan, none of these mattered. So what if he managed to find someone to devour for himself? If he were to bump into this person, Lin Fan would still slap him to death easily.

But, looking at the Mythical Parasol Tree, he couldn’t help but sigh.

The aura of this thing was still really vibrant just a while ago. But as time passed, it was now withering. If he couldn’t find a way to save it, the tree might really die in his hands.

And of course, Lin Fan was more than satisfied with the mystical effects of the Mythical Parasol Tree.

Absorbing the True Energy of Heavens and Earth automatically and converting them into experience points, causing him to gain experience points on the go.

‘Seems like it’s time to head to the Manhuang Area.’ Exiting the underground, Lin Fan floated in the air and looked over the entire Earth.

“Save…me…”

Suddenly, a weak and feeble voice appeared within Lin Fan’s mind.

This voice seemed to have appeared once before. But now that it was reappearing, Lin Fan was definitely wary about it.

‘Just how in the world do you expect me to save…’

Lin Fan was at a loss for what to do. Ever since he had received that little strain of consciousness of the Heaven’s Will, he would always feel a strange ominous feeling in his heart from time to time. It was as though something big was about to happen.

‘Oi, oi! You’re a really irritating fella! Stop saying things halfway all the time! How do you expect me to help you like that?’ Lin Fan was really exasperated. He wasn’t interested in things like these that kept giving questions as though they were part of a big puzzle.

But no matter how much Lin Fan called out to it, that voice that had appeared never replied.

Shaking his head helplessly, he then opened up a space in the void and headed towards the Manhuang Area.

The Manhuang Area existed on the boundaries of Dongling Continent. It was a reclusive place where hardly any humans could enter.

…

“Holy lady, everyone’s having troubles holding them back anymore…”

At this moment, an exceptional young lady was standing atop a gigantic tribute altar. On the tribute altar laid a humungous statue, that seemed to be looking over the rest of the world.

The holy lady looked at her tribesmen before nodding her head gently and looking into the distance.

It was a massacre out there. The rise of the blood aura has stained the entire Heavens and Earth.

The Manhuang Tribesmen were gathered at this instance, looking at the evil beings in front of them with a solemn expression. These evil beings had no body of their own, looking at the tribe with lustful eyes. Within those evil beings stood members of the Manhuang Tribe who had been slain. These people were holding on to their weapons, targeting their own tribesmen.

Spirits. These were evil beings of the 9 Realms. They specialized in absorbing the soul and essence of a man before possessing and taking control of them.

Huang Linger stood atop the tribute altar. Looking at these evil beings, she looked pretty dejected.

“Will the future hold true?” Huang Linger was a little lost right now. She could look into the future and see what would happen.

Yet, she had failed to predict this scene right before her.

“Hand over your holy lady, and I shall spare the Manhuang Tribe! Otherwise, all of you shall be leveled into the ground!” Just then, a man of an elegant disposition was standing behind these spirits, looking down at everything in disdain.

If Lin Fan were here, he would definitely be shocked. Wasn’t this bugger Chen Xuan?! The man who had thought that he was the strongest in this entire universe, yet was whipped like a little girl by Lin Fan!

Looking at the situation before him, Chen Xuan’s lips curled into a smirk.

His past year spent in the Nine Spirits Realm had been especially nourishing. With his power level, he was practically unrivaled in his time there, taking down anyone he met.

He had already retrieved the two Supreme Being Token Shards there. At the same time, he had ruled over the entire place and had recruited countless spirits for his own use.

And even more exhilarating was the fact that he had incidentally communicated through to the source of the Nine Spirits Realm. He even obtained the recognition of the source, and as such, his cultivation state rose even higher.

Upon returning to Dongling Continent, the first thing he wanted to do was to seek revenge on the man who had humiliated him. However, he was ordered by that fella who referred to himself as Heaven’s Will to bring back the holy lady of the Manhuang Tribe.

To Chen Xuan, what was the Manhuang Tribe? With his current strength, he could annihilate them with a flip of a palm.

But things would get too boring if they happened too quickly at times.

Thus, Chen Xuan summoned out those evil spirits and had the Manhuang Tribesmen kill one another. All he did was sit quietly to observe. This was simply enjoyable to Chen Xuan.

In Chen Xuan’s eyes, he was someone who was chosen by the Heavens.

Boosted by the luck of the Heavens, he was mighty and unparalleled. To him, the failure one year ago was nothing but a trial.

“Tribesmen, do not be afraid!” Looking at the situation before her, Huang Linger revealed a look of worry. She then closed her eyes gently to chant.

Suddenly, the sky rumbled. A mysterious force gradually began to take shape from the unknown.

A mysterious well appeared in the sky.

This was a mysterious ancient well which could boost the power of the Manhuang Tribesmen. However, Huang Linger discovered in shock that the well floating in the skies suddenly crumbled into dust, before disappearing entirely.

How could the mysterious ancient well that she had obtained through prayers disappear just like that?! That was impossible…!

As long as the Heaven’s Will lived, so would the ancient well!

…

Looking at the scene before him, Chen Xuan sniggered, “Oh, holy lady. Let’s not waste time on these futile struggles. Just surrender and stop your needless struggles.”

Even though Chen Xuan did feel suspicious about the Heaven’s Will’s orders to bring back the holy lady of the Manhuang Tribe, he did not bother himself too much with this.

If he had any bit of concerns towards this shadow who had referred to itself as Heaven’s Will in the past, it was now converted into complete faith.

Thinking back, he used to be a really ordinary man. However, ever since he was chosen by this Heaven’s Will and trained for 100 years, he had obtained this incredible cultivation state. This was practically unbelievable.

“If you want to take away our holy lady, you’ll have to do it over our dead bodies!” The brutish looking Manhuang Tribesmen formed a circle around the tribute aura and protected the holy lady within.

Looking at their dead tribesmen who had revived, they were filled with terror as well. However, they would have to protect their holy lady no matter what, and not allow the other party to have their way.

“Hmph, a bunch of ants. Kill…!” Chen Xuan laughed coldly before sweeping his robes and ordering casually.

Looking at the sight before her, the holy lady could no longer maintain her composure.

At this moment, she saw the future…

Bodies laid streaking all over the place. The Manhuang Tribe had disappeared entirely from the face of the world.

“Oh ho, you want to get to f*ck the ground again?”

And just then, a loud voice boomed out through the skies.

Huang Linger looked up into the skies. The moment she saw who it was, her heart skipped a beat. The moment Chen Xuan heard this voice, he was equally puzzled, wondering who it was.

But when he saw the figure in the skies, he was totally incensed.

‘It’s him again…!’
