Chapter 248: Chapter 215 Labyrinth Breakthrough_1
Ji Yuanqing entered the grand hall, his clothes ragged and unchanged, his expression one of urgent concern as he said,
“Alliance Hierarchs, I heard on the way that a formidable enemy is approaching. Is it a being from the Three Great Heavenly Realms?”
Upon hearing this, Fire Spirit didn’t hide anything and said,
“Yes, a million-strong army, led by six Immortal-class warships.”
Ji Yuanqing’s aged eyes trembled greatly, his complexion changed as he said,
“This matter is of great importance, please imdiately inform the Lord of the Heavenly Realm!”
However, a hint of doubt flashed in Fire Spirit’s eyes. Was Ji Yuanqing overly concerned?
She spoke indifferently,
“I will report it.”
Yet Ji Yuanqing answered anxiously,
“Alliance Hierarch… if possible, could you take to et the Lord of the Heavenly Realm? I have a great secret that I must report to the Lord personally!”
Hope filled his eyes!
He had understood the origin of the First Heavenly Realm and was even more aware of the mission his clan bore on their shoulders.
But with their powers, they were utterly incapable of completing the mission now!
Moreover, the First Heavenly Realm was in grave danger.
Now his only hope was that the Lord of the Heavenly Realm had past ties with the First Heavenly Realm!
Only then could he use the power of the Lord to safeguard this realm, and show the path back to the hidden clanspeople who had fled…
Hearing this, Fire Spirit’s brow furrowed as she turned to Mu Qianning and said,
“Qian Ning, what do you think?”
Mu Qianning too pondered for a mont before saying,
“This elder’s identity seems quite complex. Many in our Hall of Celestial Generals have benefited from the Immortal Dao Palace in Huangtian State… I think we can!”
“Perhaps, he could provide information valuable to Senior Li as well.”
Fire Spirit nodded then imdiately said, “Alright, co with us!”
Upon hearing this, Ji Yuanqing was ecstatic to the extre!
…
It wasn’t long before.
Fire Spirit and the others had already arrived outside the small mountain village.
“Hiss, this place…”
No sooner had they landed than Ji Yuanqing’s face changed!
This place was anything but ordinary.
If it had been before, even upon seeing this small village, he might have assud it was the residence of soone great, but now, he could sense that the aura here, and the Saint Path he had glimpsed in those ancient space-ti fragnts…
Were very similar!
He felt even more certain in his heart!
“Let’s go.”
Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning imdiately led him inside.
…
anwhile.
In the small courtyard.
A group of disciples were busy with their own tasks.
Ever since Li Fan took them out for a barbecue and field trip, their cultivation levels had been improving rapidly.
Long Zixuan ca close several tis to catching fish.
Qing Chen was still sweeping the floor, but now he emanated even more of an immortal aura; just as a giant black spider spewed out its web, his broom was almost instantly in sync, catching it seamlessly!
Lu Rang was even more extre; he had secretly kept so “at Lingzhi,” brought it back, ground it into powder, mixed with his own blood, and used it as fertilizer for his grass!
This made the grass appear even more frightening, with almost every leaf showing blood-colored veins.
Moreover, along the edges of the leaves had erged a layer of pale, transparent leaf tissue, just like blades of a sword!
The aura occasionally emitted made even Nan Feng and Zi Ling, who had broken into the Immortal Realm, feel utterly alard.
“Too terrifying, that grass… was already nourished by the ashes of the Immortal King of the First Heavenly Realm, and now it’s gained Primordial Essence…”
Gong Ya wore a look of complexity on her face:
“Could we really be nurturing an Immortal King?”
After returning to the small mountain village and having her Dao fully replenished and her cultivation level consolidated, she was now formidable enough to be called a Demon Monarch. Yet, the thought of that potted plant filled her with trepidation.
Even Xinning murmured to herself:
“A single blade of grass, capable of cutting down an Immortal… It’s unimaginable how a plant could grow to such an extent.”
Celestial Master Lin Jiu Zheng was advancing at an astonishing speed, his cultivation level improving by leaps and bounds each day. He had recently reached the initial phase of the Daluo Golden Immortal realm.
Jiang Li played chess with himself every day, occasionally receiving so guidance from Li Fan; he, too, had stepped into the realm of the Daluo Golden Immortal.
“Woof!”
anwhile, Wu Dade was fighting with Little Black Dog, but lately, everyone had noticed that Wu Dade’s physical body had beco incredibly tough, to the point that perhaps even a Daluo Golden Immortal could not injure him!
This shocked even Lu Rang, who exclaid:
“Damn, who knew getting bitten by a dog could have such benefits??”
He was itching to try it out and even considered going over to fight with the dog himself.
But after thinking it over, he gave up on the idea.
That black dog was far too aggressive when biting!
Furthermore, perhaps due to a hearty diet, Little Black Dog’s size was growing; it had already reached the size of a dium dog.
Dugu Yuqing was deeply engrossed in practicing calligraphy. He had grasped the basic strokes such as dot, vertical, left slanting, and right slanting, and his progress was trendous.
“Today, you’ll write the first character with multiple strokes.”
Li Fan ca over with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yuqing’s eyes sparkled with excitent; the first character with multiple strokes?
He had been waiting for this day for far too long!!
“Combine all the basic strokes you’ve practiced into the first character.”
“Eternity!”
Li Fan picked up the brush, and as the tip touched the paper, each stroke was in regular script!
Bold and square, irresistibly vigorous!
A dot, as if adorning the Heavenly Dao!
A horizontal stroke, as if spanning the heavens!
A vertical stroke, as if it were a sword opening the heavens!
…
The character “eternity” appeared!
All disciples turned their heads in unison!
At that mont, they all felt so variation in the Dao!
“It’s as if so Dao has been fixed in place by the Master’s character, immutable…”
“Each stroke, capable of nailing the Dao in place?”
“What kind of swordsmanship is this, it feels like it’s traversing ti and space…”
Everyone was astounded!
As for Dugu Yuqing, he was utterly enraptured!
A dot, a horizontal stroke, a vertical stroke, a hook, a left slant, a right slant…
“So all the strokes I’ve been practicing daily, when combined, turn out to be such a terrifying Sword Dao…”
He murmured, his eyes ablaze with fervor!
He had found the direction for his breakthrough.
Indeed, with just one step forward, he could cross the threshold.
But, he took a deep breath and suppressed this impulse!
Ever since the last ti he witnessed Nan Feng imnsely transcending and attaining Immortality under the pressure of a Celestial Monarch and an Immortal, he understood sothing.
Understanding the Dao through combat could make one stronger!
Such an opportunity was the best there was.
He decided to wait.
“Thank you, Master! Yuqing has benefited imnsely!”
He bowed towards Li Fan.
“No need for thanks,”
Li Fan smiled, returned to his chair, picked up his teacup, and took a sip, followed by a sigh.
He was still worried.
Worried about butterflies!
He owed a girl nad Yun Xi a swarm of butterflies, having only given her two.
If a month later she ca knocking and he couldn’t produce them…
Then his identity as a transmigrator would likely be exposed.
Absolutely dead at.
And when he checked the System for various butterflies, they all required completing respective tasks to obtain them.
For example, the first type of butterfly was beautifully comparable to the two he had previously given to Yun Xi, a gorgeous golden color, but the task was:
“Maze Puzzle: How can one guide a small boat from the starting point to the destination safely? Please draw out a path following the rules!”
The System provided a map with many star-like obstacles in the way, along with ti and spatial constraints.
Li Fan held the task map provided by the System, pondering.
“What’s wrong, Senior Li?”
At this mont, Mu Qianning’s voice ca from outside.
“Co in.”
Li Fan spoke.
Imdiately, Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning walked in.
“Reporting to Senior Li, outsiders from other Heavenly Realms have arrived, and I fear they intend to do us harm!”
Fire Spirit reported directly.
Another fight?
Li Fan was used to it by now and asked directly, “How strong are they?”
Mu Qianning said, “Reporting to Senior Li, there are about six formidable individuals, less than the last ti!”
Last ti, eleven Celestial Monarchs had co.
Ultimately, they all disappeared without a trace, but Fire Spirit, Mu Qianning, and the others understood that they must have been dealt with by Senior Li’s disciples.
Hearing this, Li Fan relaxed, as he had been worried about his disciples getting injured last ti, yet they all returned unhard!
This ti, he wasn’t worried at all.
“Who wishes to go?”
Li Fan asked outright.
“Master, I will go!”
Dugu Yuqing was as energized as if he’d had an adrenaline shot and was the first to volunteer. He was in dire need of such a grand battle to help him break through to the Immortal Realm!
“Master, I want to go too!”
Long Zixuan and Qing Chen also volunteered!
“How can I miss out on this kind of action?”
Lu Rang grinned broadly!
Jiang Li, Wu Dade, and Lin Jiu Zheng couldn’t help themselves. Last ti they weren’t strong enough to go, but they couldn’t miss this opportunity again and thus volunteered.
In the end, all the male disciples expressed their desire to go.
“Are you all a bunch of fight maniacs??”
Li Fan couldn’t help but worry slightly; if things continued this way, wouldn’t his group of disciples end up like an underworld gang??
Wouldn’t that make him an underworld boss??
“Go on then, go on,”
Li Fan didn’t object, thinking of it as letting them get so exercise.
At the sa ti, he couldn’t help but look at Nan Feng, Zi Ling, Gong Ya, and the other female disciples with relief.
This ti, these female disciples had finally refrained from causing trouble.
Seeing this, Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning completely relaxed as well.
Last ti, eleven Celestial Monarchs made their move and were dealt with, so this ti it must be a sure win.
“By the way, Senior Li.”
At this mont, Fire Spirit continued, saying:
“Outside, there’s an old man from Huangtian State nad Ji Yuanqing who wishes to see you. He says he has sothing to report!”
Upon hearing this, Li Fan was puzzled for a mont. An old man?
Wanting to see him?
Could it be another enthusiast of books and paintings?
“Alright, let him co in.”
Li Fan said.
Mu Qianning turned and walked out of the courtyard.
Outside the courtyard, Ji Yuanqing stood gazing at the courtyard before him in a daze.
Wu’er Xianting!
He was left speechless by the terrifying Dao rhythm and principles emanating from within.
“This place…”
“It’s too terrifying.”
If he were rely an insignificant Golden Immortal, it might be different, but by virtue of that Stone Command, he had grasped many secrets unknown even to figures at the level of Immortal Kings.
And here, this aura…
Was countless tis more powerful than the Saint Path revealed in the fragnts of ti and space from countless eons ago.
“Senior Ji,”
At this mont, Mu Qianning had already co out and said:
“Senior Li has agreed to see you.”
Upon hearing this, Ji Yuanqing took a deep breath and imdiately strode forward into the courtyard!
The mont he stepped into the courtyard, Ji Yuanqing’s entire body trembled imnsely!
The impact this courtyard had on him…
Was too dreadful.
As he entered, a hen among the chickens suddenly lifted its eyes to glance at him.
The branches of the peach tree dipped slightly.
In the pond, the tail of a goldfish swished gently.
At that mont, Ji Yuanqing felt as if he was being thoroughly scrutinized by a supre being!
The Stone Command concealed in his bosom even began to feel warm!
“Is a terrifying existence inspecting the Prival Stone Mandate?”
Ji Yuanqing was shocked, his body stiffened, and he dared not move an inch!
He knew the Stone Command was left by a being who stood atop the Saint Path; even Immortal Kings were likely unable to scrutinize it…
But in this courtyard…
There seed to be hidden many…
Unimaginably formidable presences!
He felt his heart tremble.
anwhile, Li Fan was also looking at Ji Yuanqing, asking, “Elder, what brings you to seek out?”
There was a hint of confusion in his eyes.
The man’s attire was so tattered… completely beggarly!
He couldn’t possibly be here to beg, could he?
Upon hearing the question, Ji Yuanqing looked over at Li Fan.
Shock flashed through his aged eyes. How could it be a young man?
Before arriving, he imagined the “Lord of the Heavenly Realm” countless tis in his mind. He had thought it would either be an old man with an aura of transcendence or a majestic Immortal Monarch striding like a dragon…
But he never expected to et soone so young, so affable—a youth!
This… could this be the Lord of the Heavenly Realm?
