Chapter 199: The Sword Approaches! Immortal Slaying Realm, Open! (Part 2)
" he wondered aloud.
His thoughts drifted to Little Dragon Maiden, or more specifically, the Heaven Observing Mirror in her possession.
"It's said that the Heaven Observing Mirror, as the town-protecting treasure of the Ten Thousand Flowers Holy Land, not only possesses formidable offensive and defensive capabilities but also has the unique ability to observe the entire Immortal Martial Continent when activated, except for areas with special restrictions," Lin Fan explained.
"If I could borrow it and study its operating principles, perhaps I could develop my own Eye Technique or spell to observe others from a distance," he mused.
"With that, I could keep track of my disciples' movements in real-time and know if they encounter trouble or need help."
Lin Fan stroked his chin, and after a moment, he decided to give it a try.
"If it works, it'll be amazing!" he exclaimed.
He called for Little Dragon Maiden, and with a smile, he said, "Let's make a deal, shall we?"
"What do you want?" she asked, her eyes narrowing in suspicion.
"You're still so young. My master told me not to casually interact with you guys, or I'll be tricked!" she said, her voice filled with caution.
Lin Fan's face turned black with frustration.
What has the Ten Thousand Flowers Saintess been teaching her?
"Don't jump to conclusions. You're just a child!" he exclaimed.
"To you humans, I am indeed a child. But in terms of age, I'm so old that even your grandmother would find me ancient. If we count from the moment I hatched from my egg..."
"I'm older than the founding ancestor of the Moon Embrace Sect!"
"Huh?"
A few simple words from her left Lin Fan feeling a bit dazed.
"Who have you been hanging out with lately?"
"Fan Jianqiang, your second disciple. What about it?"
Sure enough!
Lin Fan's eyes darkened.
My little sister, why did you go and learn from Fan Jianqiang? What were you thinking?!
He was speechless and puzzled, "Why did you go and play with him?"
"Is there a problem?"
"Fan Jianqiang is so fun, interesting, and wise. I've chatted with him a lot recently, and I feel like I've improved tremendously!"
"I feel that if I were to face my past self from before this period, I could beat ten of them!"
Little Dragon Maiden tilted her head back, brimming with confidence.
She even felt like Lin Fan was the one with the problem.
What kind of talk is this? It's as if he's looking down on his own disciple.
This is definitely the influence of that bad uncle!
Lin Fan's mouth twitched uncontrollably.
Alright, now it's me who's in the wrong.
Go ahead and learn from that dog, and not say a word!
One who can beat ten of himself? That's not wrong, even if he hasn't gotten stronger, he's become more cunning. But still, for the dignified Little Dragon Maiden to play like this, is it really okay?
Tsk!
"Enough of this bickering," Lin Fan said, shaking his head. "I want to make a deal with you. What do you say?"
"What deal? I'll have you know, I'm very smart, so don't even think about tricking me," Little Dragon Maiden said, her face filled with suspicion.
Lin Fan hesitated, then explained, "It's just that my Moon Embrace Sect has a second realm, and it will be opened soon. Do you want to go and play in it?"
"Really?"
Little Dragon Maiden's eyes lit up with excitement. "I want to go!"
"Wait!"
Suddenly, her face turned suspicious. "You're not trying to negotiate with me using this, are you?"
Lin Fan coughed awkwardly.
Why do I feel a sense of shame, as if I were tricking an innocent girl?
"Of course, we need to discuss the terms. But think about it, you're not a member of my sect, and for any sect, a realm is an extremely important existence, even considered as their foundation," Lin Fan explained.
"Why should I take an outsider like you to play in our realm?"
"In other words, since you've enjoyed the benefits, it's only natural that you should give something in return."
"You... you beast! I'm still so young, and you want me to give something in return?" Little Dragon Maiden's voice grew more cautious.
Damn!
Why is Fan Jianqiang teaching her this?
Could it be that he has taken a liking to this girl?
Is he playing the long game?
Beast!
As Lin Fan silently cursed, he said, "Don't jump to conclusions. Let me explain."
"I won't listen! Your explanation is just an excuse!"
"Can we not have a proper conversation?!"
"Who would be interested in a yellow-haired little girl like you?"
"What I mean is, if you want to go, then lend me the Heaven Observing Mirror for research! If you agree, I'll let you play in the realm!"
"This time, it's not just a martial realm, but a genuine Immortal realm!"
As he spoke of the realm, Lin Fan's mood improved significantly.
The development of the Wind and Cloud Realm has reached an advanced stage.
Disciples of the Second and Third Stages who have sufficient points to exchange for 'tickets' can now enter for trials.
It's a good opportunity for those seeking to refine their hearts in the mortal world or those pursuing dual cultivation in the martial and immortal arts.
Even those who simply desire great battles or wish to improve themselves will find it an excellent choice.
Smiling thrice, Yaya stays true to her word, overseeing the disciples of Moon Embrace Sect within the Wind and Cloud Realm, ensuring Lin Fan has no lingering concerns.
With the trial effects of the Wind and Cloud Realm, ordinary disciples of Moon Embrace Sect are no longer sheltered flowers. They can accumulate some real combat experience!
However, it's still not enough.
Hence, opening more realms is an urgent task.
After all, Moon Embrace Sect has many enemies, and ordinary disciples dare not be sent out casually, or they might never return, silent and dead.
Fortunately, Song Yunxiao is here, and he's almost ready. The second realm is about to open.
Logically speaking, as one of Moon Embrace Sect's current pillars, Little Dragon Maiden should have a spot in the exploration team.
But, cough.
For the sake of Moon Embrace Sect and the safety of all disciples, Lin Fan has no choice but to negotiate some terms.
Upon hearing this, Little Dragon Maiden lets out a sigh of relief, "Hey, you should've told me earlier!"
"I thought you were a weird uncle, but it's just about the Heaven Observing Mirror. It's not a big deal!"
"So, you agreed?"
Lin Fan's heart fills with joy.
"I didn't, I can't, it's impossible."
But Little Dragon Maiden immediately denies it thrice in a row.
"My master said the Heaven Observing Mirror can't be shown to anyone; only I can hold it."
"Let me research it? That's even more impossible."
Lin Fan: "???"
What are you talking about!
Damn, this is like the saying, 'Those close to cinnabar become red, and those close to ink become black.'
It must be Dog Sheng's influence!
Suppressing his urge to complain, Lin Fan says, "Then let's change the terms. I won't research it, you control it, and at the same time, use the Heaven Observing Mirror to help me find someone."
"And while you're operating it, I'll just observe, how about that?"
"You mean, I use the Heaven Observing Mirror to help you find someone, and you'll just watch from the side?"
"Yes!"
"That's acceptable!"
Little Dragon Maiden ponders, "My master didn't say it's okay or not, but it should be fine."
"After all, when I used the Heaven Observing Mirror to beat people up, you were all watching, so it should be fine for you to see it too."
"That's great!"
Lin Fan breathes a sigh of relief.
Even if I can't participate, watching is still good.
"Then let's go now..."
"Now? That's not possible. How do I know you're not tricking me?"
Little Dragon Maiden shakes her head, "I can agree to this exchange, but it has to be after entering and exiting Moon Embrace Sect's second realm."
"This is called being cautious!"
"Only by being cautious can we avoid being taken advantage of."
"You should understand this logic, right?"
Lin Fan: "..."
Well, no need to say more. Who taught these things? Do I even need to think about it?
But...
Dog Sheng, you better look closely! What have you been teaching?!
You're teaching so well!
Even your master is being tricked, right?
Lin Fan's mind is filled with complaints, but since the conversation has gone this far, he feels too embarrassed to continue arguing. He can only nod in agreement.
"It's settled then. After exiting the second realm, I'll borrow the Heaven Observing Mirror once."
"Of course! I never deceive anyone." Little Dragon Maiden smiles mischievously, feeling delighted.
As if someone would like to deceive others!
"By the way, does the second realm have a name?"
"Of course it does."
"What is it? Tell me quickly."
"This second realm... is called Immortal Slaying."
Immortal Slaying Realm!
...
"Immortal Slaying Realm."
"After perfectly clearing the Wind and Cloud Realm and completing some side quests, I finally accumulated enough points to exchange for it. From the introduction, it seems like the benefits should be even greater than the Wind and Cloud Realm, right?"
Song Yunxiao mutters to himself, feeling both nervous and excited.
By now, he is no longer a novice in the cultivation world.
With the accumulation of his experiences and the rewards from previous tasks, he has reached the Fourth Cave Heaven Realm, not exceptionally powerful, but in a small place, he can hold his own.
His understanding of cultivation has improved immeasurably.
He now comprehends many principles that he was clueless about before.
"From the introduction, the Immortal Slaying Realm is a small world, naturally not comparable to the Immortal Martial Continent. But on second thought, if it's a realm of the caliber of the Immortal Martial Continent... even if I could afford it, I wouldn't be able to explore it."
Exploring the Immortal Martial Continent? With Moon Embrace Sect's current strength, they might be the ones being explored. If they were to enter such a 'realm,' they'd likely be sensed by the stronger beings there and treated as foreign demons, leading to immediate annihilation.
They wouldn't stand a chance!
"Moreover, although the Immortal Slaying Realm is small, it's still a complete small world, and it belongs to the same category as the Immortal Martial Continent. The resources within should mostly be compatible. The achievements of their development over the years, the techniques and secrets created by their ancestors, could also provide us with some inspiration."
"So... I'm really looking forward to it."
...
The next day.
At the realm's entrance.
The exploration team gathers.
From Moon Embrace Sect, Lin Fan, Xiao Ling'er, Fan Jianqiang, Wang Teng, Zhu Rou Rong, Fire Cloud, Su Yan, Song Yunxiao, and Second Elder Wu Xing Yun arrive.
In terms of external personnel, Fire Deity Sect's Fire Kunlun, Qin Royal Manor's Lian Sheng, and Ten Thousand Flowers Holy Land's Little Dragon Maiden will be heading there.
Additionally, Ao Bing and the Fire Qilin are also included.
As for the others, they will not be going for now.
If there's a shortage of manpower, we can draw lots again.
It's worth mentioning that Long Aojiao is currently at a critical moment in her closed-door cultivation, and it's said that she's about to break through to the next small realm.
Buzz~
The entrance to the Wind and Cloud Realm spins continuously, with Fifth Elder Duan Qingyao sitting cross-legged beside it, silently guarding the entrance.
At this moment, they are all curious.
"Begin."
Lin Fan looks at Song Yunxiao, who lightly nods.
"The realm..."
"Open!"
Boom! The space trembles.
It's as if something is forcibly 'opening' and expanding!
Another vortex slowly appears, parallel to the entrance of the Wind and Cloud Realm.
But this entrance is even more profound and astonishing!
Almost everyone, except for Lin Fan and Song Yunxiao, shows a look of shock on their faces, unable to calm down for a long time.
It's hard for them to imagine how a small Fourth Realm cultivator like Song Yunxiao could possess such means, opening one realm after another, and these realms are complete small worlds! The previous Wind and Cloud Realm was said to have a special treasure.
What about this one?!
Could it be that this treasure contains a pile of small worlds?
But they don't dare ask.
Everyone has their own secrets, and these secrets are often their biggest trump cards. Why would they answer if you ask?
Even if they ask, they won't get a response.
They are all experienced, and they know how to keep their secrets.
Only Little Dragon Maiden has a curious expression, wanting to speak but stopping herself.
"Everyone, let's go in."
Lin Fan smiles slightly.
"Good!"
They enter one after another.
Soon, they find themselves in the ten-thousand-meter-high airspace of the Zhu Xian World.
"This aura..."
Fire Kunlun and Lian Sheng, the two 'elders', exchange a glance, instantly seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
"Indeed, it's another complete small world!"
"Although not too big, the rules are complete."
"There's even an Ascension Path!!!"
"But the resources are too scarce."
"However, if in the future, the Moon Embrace Sect encounters an unstoppable calamity, they can relocate the entire sect into this small world, close the entrance, and seal themselves in!"
"Unless the opponent has an astonishing secret technique to find this small world in the endless void and open the entrance, otherwise, it's safe!"
"Even after entering, it's not necessarily miserable, and they can still cultivate normally, ascend, and become immortals!"
"This is truly... enviable."
Amidst their astonishment, Fire Kunlun can't help but express his envy.
He's been in the Fire Deity Sect for so many years, and they don't have such a realm!
"I'm envious too. Even if Prince Qin is here, I'd still be envious." Lian Sheng expresses that not only you, but even Qin Royal Manor would be envious!
If they had such a small world, why would Qin Royal Manor need to go through so much trouble?
If they can't provoke them, can't they just hide?
Just hide in the small world, and who's afraid of Empress Zhou and her group?
"If this news gets out, the Moon Embrace Sect will undoubtedly become the target of everyone's arrows."
"Yeah."
Lian Sheng sighs, but suddenly notices Fire Kunlun staring at him: "Why are you looking at me?!"
"Do you think I'd blabber?"
Fire Kunlun withdraws his gaze: "You'd better not."
Lian Sheng glares.
What a guy.
"There's a fight going on below."
Lin Fan speaks up.
At this moment, he sits cross-legged on the Fire Qilin's head.
The Fire Qilin is covered in raging flames, and these flames are not weak, almost comparable to some lower-ranked exotic fires. They can burn a Fifth Realm cultivator to death in a short time! But at this moment, Lin Fan sits on the Fire Qilin's head, and those raging flames don't burn or scorch him.
The Fire Qilin lowers its eyebrows and eyes, looking very docile.
But when no one is paying attention, this guy is winking and making faces at Ao Bing.
"Master, my fire is stronger than yours. Aren't you jealous?"
Ao Bing rolls her eyes in annoyance.
"Just wait until we get back to the Spirit Beast Garden, and you'll see how I'll deal with you!"
"..."
"Oh? There's a fight going on below."
"Similar to a sect competition?"
"The Green Cloud Sect? This cultivation sect is not bad, with a complete inheritance, but their strength is not strong."
They observe the situation below with their divine sense, scrutinizing every detail.
But Lin Fan, with a single glance, realizes that the time in the Zhu Xian Realm at this moment should be during the 'Seven Sects Martial Gathering', which is when the protagonist 'Little Zhang' will gradually attract attention.
It's at this moment that his fate wheel will start turning.
"Oh."
Lin Fan sighs inwardly: "It's a pity that Qiu Yong Qin is not here."
"Otherwise, he would have a lot in common with Little Zhang."
"However, let's first clarify Song Yunxiao's task."
He immediately transmits his question.
"Master."
Song Yunxiao replies instinctively: "The main task is to investigate 'Little Zhang's' village annihilation and uncover the truth."
"After that, kill the Beast Deity and the Ghost King."
"The rest are side quests like Exorcising Demons and Upholding the Dao, and Perfect Match."
"Oh?"
Lin Fan nods: "I see."
For him, this task is incredibly simple.
He doesn't even need to investigate.
The answer is already in his mind.
But since the task requires investigation, he might as well do it.
No big deal.
As for killing the Beast Deity and the Ghost King~
He's not sure what realm these two are in.
He knows their realm in the book, but relative to the Immortal Martial Continent's cultivation system, he needs to see it to know.
