Chapter 155: The Truth of the Past, You're the Real Flower~! Little Dragon Girl and the Battlefield (Part 2)

"

"Oh?"

Lin Fan understood, "So, Ning Qiaoqiao was indeed your arrangement?"

"I didn't arrange it, but she is indeed the first test." Gu Xinglian didn't hide it and spoke openly, "With her temperament, she would definitely provoke a conflict."

"So, all I did was discreetly change the order of the menial disciples guarding the mountain."

"As long as you came when she was on duty, with her temperament, someone among you would inevitably clash with her."

"And if you can't even defeat her, you won't be able to enter the Flower Sanctuary, nor will you be able to take away the Moonswallow Immortal Technique."

"I understand."

Lin Fan was secretly startled.

Although it seemed like a casual remark, Lin Fan realized that Gu Xinglian had revealed two crucial pieces of information.

First, she was familiar with everyone in the Flower Sanctuary, even the temperament of a lowly menial disciple.

Second, she knew when he and his group would arrive, or at least she could pinpoint a specific time frame.

But Xiao Ling'er was the protagonist template, the Heaven's Will Person, and any divination or prediction related to her would be incredibly challenging!

In other words...

The person conducting the divination and prediction must be extraordinary.

No wonder she was a 'Saint Sovereign' of her domain.

"In that case, this cause and effect can be considered resolved."

Gu Xinglian stood up, "I have other matters to attend to."

"Until we meet again?"

Lin Fan and the other two also stood up, clasping their fists in unison, "Until we meet again."

"..."

...

Soon after, the three of them left the Flower Sanctuary.

Looking back, the Flower Sanctuary remained unchanged, without any signs of disturbance.

Ning Qiaoqiao leaned against the mountain gate, taking a nap.

Everything seemed peaceful and leisurely.

The three of them remained silent, quietly departing.

This trip to the Flower Sanctuary didn't bring any grand waves or seemingly insurmountable crises. Everything appeared calm.

It could be described as smooth sailing.

However, for Lin Fan, Xiao Ling'er, and Huo Yun'er, their experiences in the Flower Sanctuary during this short period had left a profound impact.

Even...

Their understanding of the entire Immortal Martial Continent was shaken.

The Flower Sanctuary was so formidable! No wonder even top-tier forces dared not show the slightest disrespect towards the Sanctuary.

No wonder in daily life, whenever anyone mentioned the Sanctuary, they were extremely cautious, and any negative remarks about the Sanctuary were avoided like the plague.

It turned out... the truth behind the initial incident was so shocking!

Lin Fan, however, managed to remain relatively calm.

After all, he had seen a lot and could recover quickly.

But for Xiao Ling'er and Huo Yun'er, the impact was indeed overwhelming.

Therefore, in the short term, he didn't rush to act, allowing them time to calm down and recover.

"Teacher,"

Xiao Ling'er asked Medicine Grandma in her Sea of Consciousness, "Have you ever fought against someone from the Sanctuary?"

"..."

"No." Medicine Grandma sighed, "I only know of the Sanctuary's strength, but I've never had the fortune of facing them in battle. At the brink of life and death, I still didn't have the chance to fight them, which might not be a bad thing."

"But now that I think about it, not having such an opportunity might also be a blessing."

"..."

Xiao Ling'er understood.

The Sanctuary was too powerful.

Even a menial disciple from the same generation possessed such strength, so the outer disciples would undoubtedly be even stronger!

But the problem was, even if they could defeat the menial and outer disciples, what would it accomplish?

What sense of achievement could it bring?

They might not even be able to defeat the inner disciples.

As for the direct disciples...

She currently had almost no chance of winning, right?

Not to mention the Saint Sons and Saint Daughters...

"However, I can continue to grow stronger. One day, even if it's the Saint Sons and Saint Daughters of the Sanctuary or the divine children of Immortal Ancient Clans, I won't fear them!"

Xiao Ling'er encouraged herself.

After hearing this, Medicine Grandma couldn't help but praise, "Well said! You must have this kind of unwavering courage to never give up!"

"Moreover, you didn't lose!"

"Your environment is vastly different from theirs, but you might not be weaker than them now."

"If placed in the same environment, you might be able to compete with the Sanctuary's direct disciples and Saint Sons!"

"Furthermore, you've already found your own path, and the future lies ahead!"

"Teacher,"

Xiao Ling'er interrupted, "Do you remember your promise to me? You said that when I reached the Sixth Profound Fate Realm Third Stage, you would tell me everything about your past and the truth."

"Now, I've reached the peak of the Fourth Stage. With my full power, I can even fight against Sixth Stage cultivators. When I break through to the Fifth Stage, defeating some Sixth Stage powerhouses will be effortless. At that time, can you tell me the truth?"

"You..."

Medicine Grandma fell silent.

After a long while, she said, "Let's talk about it when you reach the Sixth Stage."

"Teacher, I promise I won't act rashly. I just want to know what happened in the past."

"Or... who is your enemy?"

Medicine Grandma remained silent.

"..."

After repeated questioning, she finally spoke, "The cause and effect involved are too significant. When I said I'd tell you at the Sixth Stage, it's not because you possess the power of the Sixth Stage but because you've truly reached the Sixth Stage and become a powerhouse."

"Only then can you possibly shoulder such a massive responsibility."

"Even..."

"If you reach the Sixth Stage and hastily involve yourself in this matter, it will still be as difficult as ascending to the heavens."

"!"

Although Xiao Ling'er had mentally prepared herself, hearing these words still made her heart tremble.

Even if she reached the Sixth Stage, it would still be incredibly challenging.

With her current abilities, reaching the Sixth Stage might not grant her the power of the Seventh Stage, but it would be close.

If she could obtain another Unearthly Flame during this time, she would undoubtedly possess the power of the Seventh Stage.

Even this, still so difficult?

What about the teacher's enemy, in the end...

"Sanctuary?"

Xiao Ling'er held her breath.

"That's not the case." Medicine Grandma smiled, "I'm not that shameless. If the opponent were a sanctuary, I would never mention this matter, and you wouldn't even know I have any enemies."

She indicated that she wasn't that shameless or brazen.

Sending her disciple to deal with a sanctuary?

Isn't that just sending her to her death?

"However, although it's not a sanctuary, the power they possess far exceeds that of an ordinary top-tier sect. So, you still need to grow."

"Alright."

Seeing Medicine Grandma unwilling to reveal more, Xiao Ling'er had no choice but to settle for a lesser request: "Teacher, when I reach the Seventh Stage, should I be able to start making your physical body, right?"

"I'm not far from the Sixth Stage. The Seventh Stage, I imagine, wouldn't take too long."

"Then, why don't you tell me what materials are needed to forge your physical body? I can start preparing them in advance."

"This..."

"Alright."

This time, Medicine Grandma didn't refuse: "To forge a physical body that can perfectly revive my remnant soul, the types of materials required are numerous, but most of them aren't too difficult to obtain. Spend a bit more money, and you can buy or trade for them."

"But three are not included in this list."

"The first one, Bodhifruit."

"Bodhi Fruit is the fruit of the Bodhi Tree, a divine herb in the Western Region’s Great Buddha Sect. It takes ten thousand years to cultivate, ten thousand years to bloom, and another ten thousand years to bear fruit. Each time it bears fruit, there are at most nine."

"Just one can grant a mortal extraordinary talent and wisdom."

"Extraordinarily precious, they fight fiercely over it internally, even to the death. It's not easy to get one."

"Bodhi Fruit, huh?"

Xiao Ling'er secretly noted it down.

Although difficult, she would never give up.

"The second one, Crystal Flame."

"..."

Xiao Ling'er was surprised.

She had never heard of Bodhi Fruit, but Crystal Flame was very familiar to her.

"The top-ranked Unearthly Flame—Crystal Flame?"

"That's it."

Medicine Grandma sighed, "My divine soul is severely damaged, and Crystal Flame has a miraculous effect on nurturing the divine soul. It can even warm and nourish the physical body, making it capable of nurturing the divine soul."

Gulp.

Xiao Ling'er swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Then... what's the third one?"

"A still active and complete Eighth Realm great being's corpse."

"Female."

Medicine Grandma coughed dryly, "Though strictly speaking, either gender is fine, but I'm a woman and have no intention of becoming a man."

"However, this third material is, in fact, the easiest to obtain. At worst, it just takes some time."

"I believe with your strength and growth rate, this won't be a problem."

"It's the Bodhi Fruit and Crystal Flame that you mustn't rush."

"They are inherently rare."

Medicine Grandma sighed softly, "Bodhi Fruit is extremely important in sanctuaries, and Crystal Flame is the top-ranked Unearthly Flame. Based on the clues I obtained in my lifetime, it should also be in some sanctuary."

"So, you mustn't be anxious about helping me forge a physical body."

"Otherwise..."

Xiao Ling'er held her breath.

Then nodded, "Yes, Teacher."

"The disciple remembers."

She felt a bit numb at the moment.

Before this, she had indeed thought it would be very difficult, even as difficult as ascending to the heavens, but she had never thought the difficulty would be this high.

Without mentioning others, just a Crystal Flame alone is enough to make most people feel hopeless.

Not to mention, there's also the Bodhi Fruit.

"However, Teacher, please rest assured, the disciple will never give up and will do everything to help you return!"

"I naturally trust you."

Medicine Grandma smiled, "You are the child I've watched grow step by step. If I don't trust you, who else would I trust?"

"However, you don't need to feel too much pressure."

"Actually, you aren't completely alone."

"However, you're not yet suitable to contact them. After you step into the Seventh Stage, I will naturally guide you to meet them."

"And they will do everything to assist you."

"Yes, Teacher."

"I will work hard!"

"..."

The two women seemed to be silent for a long time.

Lin Fan felt the time was about right, so he said, "We should hurry back as soon as possible. After all, Gu Xinglian's words, which must have another meaning."

"We must be cautious."

"Yes, Teacher."

Both women's faces slightly changed.

"Also."

Lin Fan emphasized, "Since you already know, I won't hide it from you. I am indeed just a Straw Dummy, a kind of external body technique, rather special."

"Even if I'm killed, it won't affect the true me at all."

"Therefore, if something unexpected happens, you should leave first, and I'll stay behind."

"Don't hesitate."

With these words, Xiao Ling'er and the other naturally wouldn't argue, nodding in agreement.

It was at this moment.

All three frowned simultaneously.

"Someone is chasing us."

Their divine perceptions all detected someone pursuing them at an extremely fast speed.

However, their strength wasn't too formidable?

"For now, move horizontally. It's better to avoid trouble."

With Gu Xinglian's warning, Lin Fan couldn't help but 'shrink' a bit. Although he didn't know what was happening, it's better to avoid trouble if possible.

They immediately moved horizontally.

But the pursuer in the rear wasn't willing to 'let them go' and also chased over.

"What are you running for?"

It was a young girl, with a mischievous look, wearing a white long dress, smiling brightly, "I'm not looking for trouble, I just need to ask for directions."

"Ask for directions?"

Lin Fan protected Xiao Ling'er and the other woman behind him, smiling lightly, "Miss, if you need to ask for directions, you've come to the wrong person. We are all outsiders, just passing through."

"Passing by?"

The girl tilted her head, observing them for a moment before saying, "That's a shame."

"Oh, have you heard of the Dragon King?"

"Dragon King?"

The three of them were taken aback. "What Dragon King?"

"The Dragon King, of course."

The girl spread her hands.

"..."

"The legendary king of the Dragon Clan?"

"Oh dear, no, no. Recently, there's been talk of a 'Dragon King' outside, and I've even heard about it at home, so I wanted to go and see if it's..."

"Oh, anyway, have you heard of it?"

Lin Fan and the two girls exchanged glances, then shook their heads. "We've never heard of it."

"What a pity."

"By the way," the girl giggled, "My name is Little Dragon Girl."

"Could I trouble you to inform me if you come across any clues about the Dragon King?"

What a forward little girl.

Lin Fan muttered, pondering her identity and whether to take on this task.

Before he could say anything, Little Dragon Girl threw him a conch shell, saying, "This is my communication talisman, I made it myself, and it's different from others."

"Just speak to the conch shell, and I'll be able to hear you."

"Oh dear."

"Someone is chasing after us."

"I won't keep you any longer. If you find any clues about the Dragon King, please let me know. Farewell."

Little Dragon Girl came and left just as quickly.

She was quirky and full of energy.

Not long after, she disappeared, leaving the three of them with puzzled expressions. Lin Fan quickly picked up the conch shell.

Soon, someone was chasing them. After confirming the direction, they quickly left.

"..."

Could this be the reason for Gu Xinglian's warning?

"Dragon King..."

They continued on their journey.

Lin Fan, however, was deep in thought.

"How much do you know about the Dragon Clan?"

"I know a bit," Huo Yun'er said thoughtfully. "Nowadays, there are indeed still Dragon Clans on the Immortal Martial Continent, but none of them are 'True Dragons'. They are all descendants of the Dragon Clan."

"To put it bluntly, they are mixed bloodlines."

"It's said that the Dragon Clan is naturally promiscuous, and so each of the nine dragon children is different."

"Therefore, the Dragon bloodline has spread widely. On our Immortal Martial Continent, there are over eight hundred varieties of Dragon Clan descendants and sub-dragon species."

"But if we're talking about True Dragons, they should have gone extinct on the Immortal Martial Continent over a million years ago, right?"

"At least, that's how it's recorded in the ancient books of our Fire Virtue Sect."

"It seems that over a million years ago, the True Dragon Clan had an ancestor who continued the Immortal Path, opened the Immortal Gate, and led all the True Dragon descendants in tribal ascension."

"There are also the True Phoenix and Qilin Clans who achieved such feats."

"Oh?"

Lin Fan had never heard of this before.

"Even tribal ascension? Won't they be targeted by the Heavenly Dao?"

"Yes!"

Xiao Ling'er, after being informed by Medicine Grandma, responded, "The prerequisite is that the opener of the Immortal Gate has the strength to withstand all consequences and heavenly tribulations."

"Only then can they lead all their clansmen in tribal ascension, but achieving this is very, very difficult."

"It seems that in the vast history of the Immortal Martial Continent, there have been fewer than 'ten' people who have accomplished such a feat, and without exception, they were all Twelve Tribulation Scatter Immortals."

"And..."

"It's not that only Twelve Tribulation Scatter Immortals can achieve this, but only the Twelve Tribulation Scatter Immortals among them are capable of doing so."

"Oh?"

Lin Fan raised an eyebrow. "I remember that after the Ninth Ascending Immortal Realm, one can ascend, right?"

"The subsequent realms are Human Immortal and Heaven Immortal?"

"Yes." Xiao Ling'er nodded. "As far as I know, it's like that."

"In that case, tribal ascension is very difficult."

Lin Fan stroked his chin, deep in thought.

One must have at least the strength of the 'Eleventh Realm Pinnacle' or even the 'Twelfth Realm' to accomplish this? Moreover, strictly speaking, after the Ninth Realm, one enters the 'Immortal' realm.

The gap between these realms is immeasurably vast.

"Tsk."

"However, it's still early, why think so much? We'll see when the time comes."

"If it can be done, naturally, the entire sect will ascend, and all will rise to heaven."

"..."

As they talked, they flew a great distance.

The area near the Flower Sanctuary is quite special, with no large immortal city, so they couldn't use a formation to return in a short time. They had no choice but to fly for a while and borrow a formation in the nearest large immortal city.

But after flying for half a day, Xiao Ling'er slightly raised her eyebrows.

"Master, it seems there's a battle three thousand li southwest of here."

"Should we...?"

"No need, it's better to mind our own business."

Lin Fan responded, but his mind wandered. "However, it's hard to avoid this, isn't it? After all..."

"Gu Xinglian, a saint-level figure, wouldn't have warned us for no reason."

"In other words...?"

He pondered for a moment, then extended his divine sense, quietly sensing the battlefield.

After a moment, he suddenly stopped.

"Master?"

The two girls were puzzled.

But Lin Fan frowned. "Let's go!"

The two girls: "?"

What happened to not getting involved?

Seeing the two girls' confusion, Lin Fan sighed. "Just now, I suddenly thought that if it's so easy to avoid, why would Gu Xinglian bother to remind us?"

"Then I realized, it's unavoidable."

"We can't avoid it."

He turned and headed towards the battlefield.

The two girls exchanged glances and hurriedly followed.

Xiao Ling'er was already prepared for a big battle.
