"..."

The subsequent plot development was not much different from what Lin Fan had anticipated.

As the Golden Horn Beast approached, the Earth side did everything in their power.

All sorts of high-tech weapons were deployed, but to no avail.

In the end...

Luo Chengzhu made a powerful move, almost sacrificing himself to successfully possess the beast.

The Earth was saved.

However, no one knew that this was all thanks to Luo Chengzhu's efforts.

"..."

"Huh...huh?!"

Lin Fan and Song Yunxiao had not ventured too close to the Earth, which was Lin Fan's intention.

Despite the Earth's attempts to contact them multiple times, Lin Fan had not responded.

Song Yunxiao, witnessing the situation, exclaimed in surprise, "So..."

"Is its Divine Soul strength really that weak?"

"In that case, I should have been able to easily defeat it, right?"

Song Yunxiao had witnessed Luo Feng's strength firsthand.

A Martial Artist and Mentalist?

While impressive to those on Earth, in the eyes of a Ninth Stage Cultivator, it was nothing extraordinary.

At the very least, Song Yunxiao had a hundred ways to effortlessly defeat Luo Chengzhu.

"That's true."

Lin Fan smiled, "But under normal circumstances, without any prior intelligence, unless one is desperate, who would take such a risk?"

"That's right."

Song Yunxiao nodded, "Unless I was forced into a corner, on the brink of death, I would never take such a risk."

"After all, who could have imagined that such a colossal being would have such a weak Divine Soul?"

Lin Fan spread his hands, "Who's to say otherwise?"

"Well, let's go. It's time to meet him."

"..."

"Who?!"

Luo Feng turned abruptly, his eyes flashing with vigilance as he stared at the two unexpected visitors who had suddenly appeared in his home.

"Who are you?!"

"Be careful, be very careful!"

Baba Tower frantically shouted, "Their internal energy fluctuations are intense, especially the one on the left. It's off the charts, almost impossible to detect!"

"And their energy is peculiar, unlike any cultivation system I know of."

"You must be cautious. If they make a move, you won't stand a chance."

"Not even the Golden Horn Beast could stop them!!!"

Luo Feng's mind and body trembled.

"Why are you here?"

He cautiously asked, "Earlier, was the person in the Golden Horn Beast's light you?"

"Yes."

Lin Fan nodded, openly admitting it.

Luo Feng's heart skipped a beat, "Then why are you here?"

Suddenly, a terrifying possibility crossed his mind, "Did you lure the Golden Horn Beast here?!"

In an instant, he categorized the two before him as enemies!

Enemies he would never let off the hook.

"No."

Understanding his misconception, Lin Fan smiled, "Forgive my frankness, but with my strength, I wouldn't need the Golden Horn Beast to deal with the Earth."

"..."

"Indeed."

Luo Feng heaved a slight sigh of relief.

After all, the situation was quite frightening.

If such an enemy existed, even with all his might, it might be futile. The power gap was immense!

"Then why are you here?"

"To find you."

Lin Fan didn't hide the truth, "We are from another world, you can think of it as... another universe?"

"By chance, we arrived here and discovered that the Golden Horn Beast was a threat to the Earth."

"So, we came to take a look."

"If you could handle it yourselves, that would be for the best. If not, I could step in."

"But it's clear that you, especially Luo Feng, have shown exceptional potential, with outstanding character and talent."

"..."

Luo Feng, instead of feeling flattered by the praise, became even more vigilant.

"You're looking for me?"

"Why?"

"I want to take you as my disciple."

For the first time, Lin Fan was being straightforward.

Compared to people in the real world, he preferred being direct in this secret realm dungeon.

"I'll teach you more profound cultivation methods and pass on a more powerful heritage."

"!!!"

"Nonsense!"

Luo Feng's mind echoed with Baba Tower's whispers, "What more profound cultivation methods and powerful heritage?"

"The Inkfall Star Heritage is already powerful, and I can provide you with further guidance."

"Don't listen to him. I sense ulterior motives. He's definitely up to no good!"

"..."

Lin Fan smiled helplessly, "Baba Tower, speaking ill of others behind their backs is not a good habit."

Luo Feng was taken aback and stared at Lin Fan.

Baba Tower screamed and quickly hid, afraid to show himself again.

“The Inkfall Star Heritage is indeed impressive and can offer you much assistance."

Lin Fan smiled, "However, for true powerhouses, the Inkfall Star Heritage and even the Inkfall Star Lord himself are insignificant."

"I believe your Earth has undergone a great transformation, but some ancient cultures should have been preserved."

"For example, have you heard of Cultivators?"

"Have you heard of the legendary Cultivators and Immortals who could effortlessly create and destroy worlds?"

Luo Feng, still in shock, turned to Lin Fan, his expression complex, "Cultivators...?"

"Yes."

Whoosh! Baba Tower appeared.

This time, everyone could see him, and he exclaimed in disbelief, "This is impossible!"

"My search of Earth's information revealed that Cultivators were merely legends!"

"Oh? A male?"

Lin Fan was slightly taken aback but then smiled.

A male representation meant this was the 'original work'?

If it was an anime adaptation...

Hehe, then it wouldn't be Devil Baba Tower, but rather Seductress Baba Tower!

Tsk tsk tsk.

"What's with that look?"

Baba Tower was on guard.

But Lin Fan smiled and said, "I just thought of something interesting. As for why you think Cultivators are just legends, mere figments of the imagination, I can't explain that either."

"Anyway, there must have been a lot of things that happened during that process."

"But what I can tell you is that Cultivators and the cultivation system are definitely not just legends. They are real."

"And now, here I am, standing right before you."

Luo Feng had already guessed as much.

But at this moment, he couldn't help but exclaim in awe.

Baba Tower's projection even came closer and examined Lin Fan up and down, "Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!"

"You're really a Cultivator?"

"No wonder I couldn't analyze your cultivation system. I didn't even know what level you were at, I could only detect the immense energy fluctuations within you, indicating your formidable strength!"

"So, can Cultivators really do the things they're said to be capable of in the legends?"

Lin Fan nodded, "They can do even more."

"If they can't, it's because their cultivation and strength aren't high enough."

"If one is truly powerful enough, even crossing through time and fate would be within their grasp."

"!!!"

"Unimaginable."

"Would you mind showing us a little something?" Baba Tower was genuinely intrigued.

He wasn't a living being but a super AI, a system, and he was quite capable.

He could analyze a person's emotions.

For instance, at this moment, he could tell that Lin Fan harbored no ill intent, so he became more proactive, even wanting to pull Lin Fan over for a thorough check-up if he didn't resist.

Unfortunately, that was obviously impossible.

"How dare you!"

Song Yunxiao frowned, "Do you think my master is a street performer?"

What did he mean by showing off? In his eyes, this AI was like offering wine as a penalty for not accepting the wine of respect.

My master came to recruit me personally, what a great honor!

In our lineage, are there any weaklings? And yet you still pick and choose, and you don't believe it? This is a complete reversal of the heavenly order!

"No problem."

But Lin Fan calmly said, "No problem." He then smiled and added, "This isn't a big issue."

"However, this isn't the right place to demonstrate, and the timing isn't suitable either."

"Why don't I take you to where Cultivators reside and show you around?"

"..."

"Agree to it, quickly agree!"

Devil Baba Tower whispered eagerly.

"..."

"Can we come back after going there?"

Luo Feng asked.

"Of course," Lin Fan replied.

He understood Luo Feng's concern.

And precisely because of this, he admired Luo Feng.

If an ordinary person with Luo Feng's current strength and status...

Hey! Who cares about others? I'll do as I please!

I want to protect 'my' Earth! But Luo Feng is different; he is sincere.

"If you're worried, you can send the Golden Horn Beast with me."

"Don't you have a Golden Horn Beast clone?"

Lin Fan suggested, "One clone can stay, and the other can go."

"This way, you can rest assured."

"..."

"Then I'll go with my main body."

Luo Feng finally agreed.

As for becoming a disciple... Luo Feng was already tempted.

Who, after being influenced by Chinese culture, wouldn't want to cultivate?

Who wouldn't want to fly through the skies and travel the earth, roaming the North Sea and dwelling in the Southern Wilderness?

Although Luo Feng could do these things now, the feeling was different...

After all, those were Immortals!

"I want to go too, I want to go too!"

"Immortals, a whole new concept to me, is so fascinating!"

Devil Baba Tower also expressed his desire to go.

Lin Fan didn't stop him.

Luo Feng also agreed.

For Lin Fan, Devil Baba Tower couldn't stir up much trouble.

Mainly...

Where exactly was the Immortal Realm?

For Baba Tower, it was a 'primitive' place.

There wasn't even an internet connection.

He couldn't find any electronic devices, not even for causing mischief.

You, an IT expert, going to an ancient place without electricity...

Hey.

What use could he be?

...

Luan Yue Sect.

The place seemed shrouded in mist.

But in reality, it was the Immortal Qi that had misted.

Taking a breath, one felt refreshed and invigorated.

After just a few breaths, Luo Feng clearly felt his strength improving!

"Oh my god!" Baba Tower exclaimed. "Luo Feng, your physical strength has increased by more than one percent in just one minute!"

"And it's still growing. I estimate that even if you do nothing, as long as you stay here long enough, your physical strength will increase by more than fifty percent!"

"This..."

"Is this the Immortal Realm?!"

Luo Feng was stunned. "Such a huge improvement?"

"You're right," Song Yunxiao nodded. "This is indeed the Immortal Realm."

"Do you see this mist? It's everywhere, right? But in fact, this is Immortal Qi!"

"You've never been exposed to the cultivation system, nor have you absorbed Immortal Qi before, so the change is significant."

"Fortunately, your strength is decent, and your physical strength is barely passable. Otherwise, after a few breaths..."

It wouldn't be a matter of getting stronger; it would be instant death.

Luo Feng: "..."

Baba Tower: "?!?!?!"

"Luo Feng, bring some Immortal Qi back. I want to research it! I must research it!"

"If it can be artificially synthesized..."

"We're rich, we're rich!"

"Once it can be artificially synthesized, we won't do anything else. Just selling Immortal Qi will make us a fortune!"

"We can even hire a couple of super bodyguards for you..."

He was getting carried away, but Lin Fan poured cold water on his enthusiasm, "It's a nice thought."

"But reality is harsh."

"I don't know how advanced your technology is, but Immortal Qi isn't that easy to analyze, let alone artificially create.

"However, you can give it a try."

"But—"

Lin Fan spread his hands, "If we're not related, why should I help you?"

Devil Baba Tower turned to look at Luo Feng.

Show off his skills? At this moment, he wouldn't show off even if he wanted to! The mere presence of Immortal Qi was enough to explain many things.

So, they didn't bring up the matter of showing off his skills again.

Moreover, Baba Tower was certain that Lin Fan was truly powerful.

At least, he was much stronger than the Inkfall Star Lord, and there was no need for them to deceive Luo Feng and himself.

At least, for the current stage of Luo Feng, he didn't deserve such deception.

Since it was like this...

Then, what the other party said had more than a ninety percent chance of being true.

He really wanted to take on an apprentice!

Although he didn't know why he wanted to take Luo Feng as his disciple, perhaps... he saw potential in his cultivation talent? With this thought, Baba Tower immediately said, "Luo Feng, agree to it!"

For Baba Tower, there were many things to consider.

But in the end, it all came down to the word 'interest'.

Or perhaps...

Why not do something beneficial? Why not agree?

Luo Feng was still pondering.

Finally, he raised his head and said, "If I were to take you as my master, what responsibilities would I have to shoulder?"

"And must I cultivate immortality, and not continue with my previous cultivation system?"

"Do I have to stay here all the time?"

He also wanted to cultivate immortality.

But he had to consider the various practical issues as well.

"The responsibilities are the same as those of any other sect disciple," Lin Fan smiled, "I won't be too demanding of you."

"As for the cultivation system, you can decide for yourself."

"You can switch to cultivating immortality, or you can continue with your previous system and use the immortal cultivation system to enhance yourself."

"Even if you're confident enough and don't want to learn about the immortal cultivation system at all, that's fine too."

"Restricting freedom is absurd."

"Moon Embrace Sect has many disciples, and there are numerous direct disciples. Most of them are out there exploring."

"Huh?"

Luo Feng slightly furrowed his brows as he listened.

Was there a problem?

At least, it sounded perfectly fine.

But...

It was because it sounded too good to be true.

There were no restrictions, no outrageous demands. Then why take me as a disciple?

Is this a joke?

Lin Fan could roughly guess his doubts, so he smiled and said, "When I take on a disciple, I only consider fate."

"I see that you have a connection with me, and your temperament suits my taste, so I naturally want to give you a helping hand."

"But if you're unwilling, I won't force you."

"However, this opportunity is only available once."

"If you miss it..."

"...you might never get another chance."

Previously, Song Yunxiao had already conducted a 'test'.

In simple terms, these secret realm dungeons had 'boundaries'.

They weren't as vast as the original! Lin Fan guessed that these dungeons only extracted a 'portion' of the original and turned it into a 'stage'.

So, these dungeons were actually just 'one stage' each.

For Luo Feng, perhaps this dungeon would end after he defeated the Golden Horn Beast and developed for some time.

What about the continuation?

There was no continuation!

It was like the upper limit was locked.

To put it more bluntly, it was like having an entire universe, but the secret realm dungeon only contained a small part of that universe.

One could spend their entire life and never escape.

But what if the creatures within the dungeon broke through?

Lin Fan didn't know about that.

However...

Luo Feng genuinely 'liked' it.

"I..."

After much consideration, Luo Feng said with a heavy heart, "I'm willing to take you as my master, and I also want to cultivate immortality."

"But my main body will likely have to stay on Earth."

"After all, I can't just disappear."

"So, if I take you as my master, for a long time, I can only have the Golden Horn Beast's clone stay in the sect."

"No problem!"

Lin Fan smiled, "The Golden Horn Beast is also very good. If it can cultivate immortality..."

"...and with its special physique, I'll teach you the Kunpeng Art."

"Don't say it, don't say it!"

"The Golden Horn Beast cultivating the Kunpeng Art, it feels very promising, a perfect match~!"

"The Kunpeng Art?"

Luo Feng muttered, "In the North Sea, there is a fish called Kun. No one knows how many thousands of li it is in size. When it changes into a bird, it is called Peng. No one knows how many thousands of li its back is in size. When it flies, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky..."

"Is it the Kunpeng from ancient poetry?"

"Yes, that Kunpeng."

Lin Fan said, "To say which is stronger between Kunpeng and the most powerful Golden Horn Beast, I might not be able to tell, but if the Golden Horn Beast can cultivate the Kunpeng Art and reach a certain level..."

"...its combat power and speed will definitely be greatly enhanced!"

If Lin Fan remembered correctly, the Golden Horn Beast should be one of the top ten Star Beasts in Luo Feng's universe.

This 'top ten' wasn't because there were only ten Star Beasts, but because these ten were the strongest and most ferocious.

But Kunpeng was also one of the top ten ferocious beasts in the myriad realms.

So, who was stronger and who was weaker could only be determined after a fight.

As for now, emmmm...

It was hard to say.

"There's one more thing."

"Your side is a technological universe."

"But I've heard that to the east of the Three Thousand Continents, beyond the Endless Great Wall, there's a Mechanic Clan, very powerful. Perhaps, you might be interested in the Mechanic Clan."

"The Mechanic Clan?!"

Luo Feng didn't react much, but Baba Tower took off immediately.

"That's amazing!"

"Luo Feng, we must visit the Mechanic Clan!"

"That place must be incredible."

"It will be very beneficial for both of us!"

Baba Tower left some things unsaid.

He realized that this so-called Immortal Realm was too primitive, without even a single electronic device, even though his abilities were strong and the signal transmitter he carried was powerful.
