Chapter 461: Lin Fan's Tribulation! The Nine Supreme Lords: It's Just Licking, Right? (Part 1)
October 27, 2024
"Quickly, disperse!"
Lin Fan's face paled, and he urged everyone to scatter.
He himself didn't feel afraid. With his current strength, if he couldn't pass the tribulation to become an immortal, that would be truly bizarre.
But the heavenly tribulation was a terrifying force, and the more people within its range, the more terrifying it became. It would even strike everyone together, so they had to disperse quickly.
Everyone was aware of this, and naturally, no one dared to delay, quickly scattering.
...
Boom!
Lin Fan faced the heavenly tribulation without panic.
"Sigh, it seems my guess was right."
"Once we shared our cultivation, I couldn't suppress it anymore, and it forced me to undergo the tribulation. After the tribulation, I can probably only stay for a few more years before being 'sent away'?"
"It seems I need to quickly settle the 'aftermath' then."
"Wait, what do you mean by aftermath?"
The heavenly tribulation proceeded as expected.
It was a standard tribulation.
With Lin Fan's current strength, it was natural that he wouldn't be struck down by the tribulation.
Therefore, there wasn't much risk.
As he bathed in the thunder tribulation, using its power to further enhance his physical body, he also fell into deep thought: "Some matters must be decided quickly."
From a distance, everyone watched Lin Fan undergo the tribulation, their hearts filled with admiration.
Xiao Ling'er smiled, and said softly, "Master has successfully passed the tribulation, that's wonderful."
Ya Ya nodded, not one for many words, but her joy was evident.
Fu Ning Na and Tian An exchanged a glance, their excitement mixed with a hint of disappointment.
Their master would soon ascend after the tribulation. What about us... wouldn't we have to part ways with our master? Ji Chitong watched, and watched...
After a long while, she sighed softly, her heart whispering, "You've passed the tribulation and ascended, but I'm still lingering in the First Realm. This life, I fear I'll grow old and die in the lower realm."
Gu Xinglian was happy for Lin Fan.
But she also felt a bit embarrassed.
Those nearly four years...
Even if she forced herself not to think wildly, she couldn't help but remember it.
However, if it was about passing the tribulation, she was ready.
She could immediately attract the heavenly tribulation by unleashing her cultivation.
But she wanted to wait a little longer.
She'd deal with it later...
Shi Hao witnessed all this, feeling excited for Lin Fan, but also a bit downcast.
He touched his chest.
But soon, his eyes lit up with determination.
...
The rumbling of the heavenly tribulation gradually ceased.
The tribulation clouds slowly dispersed.
Lin Fan had successfully passed the tribulation.
Now, he could be called an 'Earth Immortal'.
This wasn't a realm, but specifically referred to the period after a Ninth Realm cultivator passed the tribulation and before their ascension.
"Master!"
The disciples gathered around, all excited.
They chattered away, full of joy.
Lin Fan smiled, listening to their stories.
Long Ao Jiao, barely conscious, coldly huffed and rolled her eyes at Lin Fan, "Don't get too happy too soon, I was just careless!"
"Wait till we meet again, and see if I don't pee on your head!"
She left.
Mainly, her personality couldn't accept being weaker than her peers.
So, she decided to leave and 'work hard' until she surpassed Lin Fan...
"Everyone did a great job," Lin Fan praised his disciples.
Then, he turned to Gu Xinglian, "Also, thank you."
"..."
Gu Xinglian rolled her eyes, "It's me who should thank you."
Ji Chitong, sensing something between the two, didn't say anything, just smiled slightly.
She was merely repaying a debt of gratitude.
Hmm...
"We'll discuss the details later."
Lin Fan spoke softly, "Ling'er, where are the others?"
Xiao Ling'er explained their previous decisions, arrangements, the troubles they encountered, and the solutions they found, as Lin Fan listened and nodded repeatedly.
"Excellent, you've done well."
"But now, there's no need to worry. Call them back."
"Yes, Master."
Xiao Ling'er and the others happily went off to work.
Only Lin Fan, Ji Chitong, and Gu Xinglian remained.
Gu Xinglian naturally knew about Ji Chitong and Lin Fan, though not everything, but she was aware of their... ahem.
I'm the third wheel here!
Now, the three of them were left, staring at each other, how awkward!
She had to speak up, changing the topic to ease the awkwardness, "The World Heart, the sooner the better, why not now?"
"The World Heart?"
Ji Chitong was curious.
Lin Fan briefly explained their journey and the World Heart, and Ji Chitong listened, feeling enlightened, but also concerned.
"It's so dangerous..."
She worried for Lin Fan.
Lin Fan smiled, "It's inevitable, but luckily, my luck is good. Speaking of which, how does one use the World Heart?"
"I don't know."
Gu Xinglian shrugged.
"Huh? You don't know either?"
"Our Immortal Martial Continent has never obtained a World Heart before, the one in your hand is the first."
"..."
Just as Lin Fan was about to say something, he suddenly felt...
He understood!
A 'knowledge point' inexplicably appeared in his mind.
"Is this the Heavenly Dao? But it makes sense, after all, this is a great benefit for it."
Lin Fan released the Dao Treasure Bottle, and the World Heart, with its cracks, fell into his hands, and he gently caught it.
"Then, he bent down and placed it on the ground."
The two women were curious.
But before they could ask, the ground began to churn, 'devouring' the World Heart, and it sank deeper into the earth.
"Just like that?" Gu Xinglian was full of questions.
"Just like that."
Lin Fan smiled, "It should be the will of the Heavenly Dao."
At this moment...
Lin Fan could feel the closeness of the Heavenly Dao.
The sense of intimacy was incredible!
Is the protagonist the Heavenly Dao's favorite son?
At this moment, Lin Fan felt that the Heavenly Dao was treating him like a dear son, or even more like a dear brother, and perhaps... a father, cough, cough, cough.
This thought was somewhat blasphemous.
"..."
"Speaking of which, I can also sense that the Heavenly Dao seems to be thanking me."
Gu Xinglian slightly sensed it and smiled, but then slowly restrained herself.
She thought of Xu Weiyi.
Her master uncle, who had fallen before reaching the end.
"..."
Lin Fan fell silent as well.
"In any case, it's a good thing."
"If Master Xu is aware of this in the afterlife, he would surely be happy."
"Yes."
Gu Xinglian sighed.
"What's next?"
"Just wait?"
"Mhm."
Lin Fan nodded. "The World Heart will gradually sink into the Immortal Martial Continent and be slowly assimilated and devoured."
"This process will take some time."
"During this time, the Immortal Martial Continent will become larger, the spirit energy will become denser, spirit veins and rare treasures will increase, and it will be as if they appear out of thin air."
"The world barrier will also become stronger and more indestructible."
"The Heavenly Dao will grow accordingly..."
"In any case, there will be positive changes in every aspect."
"And all of this is happening quietly, so ordinary people might not even notice it."
"Oh..."
"But they might still feel it."
"For example, they might wake up one day and suddenly find their house collapsed."
"And the kitchen and bedroom might be inexplicably separated by several miles."
As Lin Fan explained, he couldn't help but think of the 'Spirit Energy Revival' genre of novels.
Generally, during the end of the Dharma era when the spirit energy revives, these are the kinds of changes that occur.
Speaking of which...
These changes are indeed similar to the spirit energy revival.
But there's not much of a problem with that.
After all, one is a spirit energy revival, and the other is a 'significant increase in spirit energy concentration', and the changes are similar, so it's reasonable.
"..."
"I'll be heading back first."
Gu Xinglian understood and bid farewell.
"After being away for five years, and with the Seven Immortals descending early, there are probably many matters to attend to in the Ten Thousand Flowers Sacred Land, and Master Uncle's funeral arrangements need to be made."
"Mhm."
Lin Fan nodded. "Since you have things to take care of, I won't keep you. See you again."
"See you again."
Gu Xinglian turned and left.
But... her 'old face' was slightly red.
In terms of appearance, she was naturally ageless, and on the contrary, she was still young, a beauty in her prime.
But in terms of age...
Cough, especially when compared to Lin Fan's age, the difference was still quite significant.
However, among cultivators, age is not something to be concerned about.
Unless one's lifespan is almost over, and they're about to die of old age.
"..."
"How did you get here?"
With no one else around, Lin Fan approached and held Ji Chitong's hand, slightly reproachfully: "You even fought to this extent..."
"I owe you, don't I?"
Ji Chitong seemed quite relaxed, and smiled: "Knowing that your sect is in danger, how could I not come?"
"You..."
Lin Fan sighed: "You don't owe me anything anymore."
"I don't care."
Ji Chitong refused to listen: "I believe I do owe you, and I can't repay it in this lifetime."
"Hmph."
"I'm leaving."
She tried to leave, but Lin Fan pulled her back, not letting her go.
"If you want to go, at least heal your injuries first, and leave after you're fully recovered, right?"
"Go to my secret room and fully recover before leaving, or else, I won't let you go."
"..."
"Okay."
Ji Chitong agreed.
After that, Lin Fan stretched and found Shi Hao, who was healing his injuries.
"Master."
Shi Hao opened his eyes, his expression unreadable.
"I came back late. Blame me."
"No, it's not your fault, Master."
Shi Hao smiled: "This is because... "
"So what?"
"I've come this far, and even without that bone, I can still become an ancestor!"
"Once upon a time, without that bone, I was still able to suppress all enemies."
"Moreover, I have a feeling..."
"That bone, it brings endless benefits, but at the same time, it's also a hindrance, a shackle!"
"It will help me grow and increase my combat power, but it will also make me more and more dependent on it."
"If this goes on for too long, perhaps..."
He shook his head lightly: "So, I even feel that this is a fortunate event."
After a pause, he continued: "As for the vital energy, I can cultivate it again."
"As for the Cave Heaven after the sacrifice..."
"I will definitely be able to cultivate it again!"
"!"
Lin Fan looked at Shi Hao deeply.
He had intended to comfort him, but he didn't expect that Shi Hao didn't need his comfort at all.
Moreover, he had even thought ahead to this step!
In the later stages, the Supreme Bone indeed becomes a shackle...
One can only say, no wonder he's the Emperor of the Vast Heaven?
Lin Fan sighed in his heart, and then instructed: "Cave Heaven..."
"Ordinary people have nine Cave Heavens. You surpassed the Extreme Realm and achieved the tenth Cave Heaven, which is the Cave Heaven Divine Ring."
"Now, the tenth Cave Heaven has been sacrificed..."
"Do you think you can break through the Extreme Realm and cultivate the eleventh Cave Heaven?"
After chatting for a while, Lin Fan left lightly.
Shi Hao was the template for the Emperor of the Vast Heaven. The Emperor of the Vast Heaven had fought countless battles and was never inferior to anyone.
And what he relied on was never that bone!
Moreover, the Emperor of the Vast Heaven was too unique, and Lin Fan didn't want to, and couldn't, influence his own path.
This encounter was both a crisis and an opportunity for him.
Just then, Lin Fan couldn't explain it clearly.
He could only hint at it indirectly, and the rest was up to him to comprehend! Once he understood...
He would surely reach new heights!
...
"The eleventh Cave Heaven?" Shi Hao asked, raising his hands with his palms facing upwards, gazing at them as he fell into deep thought.
"The human body has nine major orifices, and after opening them, they can serve as nine Cave Heavens, or be likened to nine 'external dantian'."
"Previously, I suppressed my realm and forcefully cultivated, reaching the Extreme Realm, then surpassing it and unifying the nine Cave Heavens to cultivate the tenth Cave Heaven - the Cave Heaven Divine Ring."
"But now, with the Cave Heaven Divine Ring sacrificed, my nine major orifices are almost ruined. In this situation, can I still cultivate and restore them, or even cultivate the eleventh Cave Heaven?"
"... "
He clenched his fist.
The force wasn't strong, but it was effortless and natural.
"Why not?"
"My Supreme Bone was taken, and my Supreme Blood was drawn out, yet I can still regenerate. How much more so for a mere Cave Heaven?"
"... "
He raised his hand and slowly slid it towards his chest.
The Supreme Bone was right there!
But now, the Supreme Bone was shattered, reduced to fragments.
However...
Shi Hao faintly discovered that the shattered Supreme Bone seemed to have the intention to reassemble and recover! The speed was slow, but it was undoubtedly happening.
"It's... regenerating on its own?!"
Shi Hao was further astonished by his own constitution, but soon, he smiled: "But... how can I be bound by a mere bone?"
"So..."
"Huff!"
He took a deep breath, and then his eyes gleamed: "Let's start from here!"
Hmm!
A muffled hum.
Shi Hao forcefully stopped the Supreme Bone's recovery.
Then, he even used his own power to scatter the Supreme Bone!
Shattering it!
The process was excruciating, but Shi Hao didn't even flinch, not even making a sound, until he completely shattered the Supreme Bone into powder, then refining and absorbing it through his physical body... His aura instantly plummeted, as if he was on the brink of death.
But Shi Hao's eyes shone even brighter.
"With the Supreme Bone absorbed and the Supreme Treasure Art still usable, the Supreme Blood nourishes my physical body..."
"Once I recover, I'll become even stronger, stronger than before..."
He struggled to sit up, comprehending and cultivating anew.
With single-minded focus, he broke through the Extreme Realm once more!
...
The Moon Embrace Sect has returned to a state of tranquility."
The direct disciples, the Heavenly Pig, the Ancient Turtle, and the others were mostly in a state of recovery.
Those who had fled for safety, including various disciples and branches, were also on their way back.
The Spirit Beast Garden needed repairs...
At first glance, the Moon Embrace Sect seemed unusually quiet, as if deserted.
Meanwhile, the entire Immortal Martial Continent was in an uproar! The appearance of the Willow Deity didn't go unnoticed.
Those with low cultivation levels might not have seen or sensed it, but those with higher cultivation couldn't help but feel the astonishing fluctuations.
The Willow Deity's direct suppression of the Immortal Realm shocked everyone.
However, the Willow Deity's identity was unique, and almost no one on the Immortal Martial Continent knew of her.
So...
They were shocked, but they didn't know how powerful or formidable she was.
In comparison, the defeat of the Seven Immortals was even harder for them to accept.
Heaven Splitting Sect.
The Witch grinned, her teeth showing. Shocked as she was, she couldn't help but feel excited: "That little rascal actually... survived?"
"That Moon Embrace Sect, they really are..."
"But this is truly wonderful."
After saying this, she suddenly covered her mouth, like a thief, and returned to her cave residence.
The Heaven Splitting Sect's leader's eyes gleamed: "Moon Embrace Sect..."
"What a formidable Moon Embrace Sect!"
"They seemed doomed, but who would've thought that the Moon Embrace Sect would have such a terrifying woman to awe the Immortal Realm? Could the Immortal Martial Continent finally have some autonomy?"
"Too perfect!"
"A brilliant move!"
...
"Cheers!"
In the Vast Heaven Sword Palace, Huang Tian Jianzun cheered loudly.
Zhou Qi...
was from the Vast Heaven Sword Palace's upper realm.
The moment Zhou Qi hung up, he had already sensed it.
Initially, he was astonished and worried for the Moon Embrace Sect and the Immortal Martial Continent.
After all, if an upper realm messenger came down and was defeated by a lower realm person, how could the upper realm and its forces ignore it? If they got angry, it would be the end of the world!
But then, the Willow Deity suddenly appeared!
Shocked as he was, Huang Tian Jianzun couldn't help but feel excited.
"After years of struggle, I never thought that in the end, some young juniors would accomplish everything."
"Truly..."
"Tsk!"
He muttered to himself, his praises unending.
...
Even those who knew the inside story of the Seven Immortals' descent were thrilled!
The Nine Sacred Lands were the most excited!
And soon, they became even more excited.
Because Gu Xinglian personally contacted them, informing them that the Heaven Repair Pavilion had been brought back and was just undergoing a period of rest.
This made them so excited they couldn't sleep.
They clamored:
"The Moon Embrace Sect, Lin Fan?"
"The Immortal Martial Continent... has produced a monster!"
"With such a monster, how can our Immortal Martial Continent not flourish?!"
"Prepare gifts, prepare grand gifts!"
"Our Holy Master wants to personally visit the Moon Embrace Sect to express gratitude and congratulations!"
"Good!"
The nine Sacred Masters and Holy Mothers were in a group chat.
But as they chatted, the Heavenly Demon Palace's leader, Li Canghai, suddenly said: "But gifts, congratulations, and gratitude don't seem enough."
"In my opinion..."
"This Sacred Land position should have one more seat!"
"... "
The Black and White Academy's leader, Yi Xing, pondered: "In terms of strength, since they can slay the Seven Immortals, they must be above us."
"In terms of Celestial Prodigies..."
"Cough, I'm embarrassed to even say it."
”
"When it comes to heritage, the Moon Embracing Sect has a female immortal who can suppress the entire immortal realm.
