Chapter 89: Enraging the King, the Fate of the Heaven's Chosen, and Lin Fan's Strength - The W Word (Part 2)
.."
"I barely managed to glimpse a corner of her future, and I instantly suffered backlash. Even the corner of her future I saw was instantly erased."
"In my opinion, with nine cows, she probably has one!"
"Hehe."
"Xiao Jie? To fight until the end, the difficulty..."
Another light laugh.
The meaning was clear, and no more words were needed.
...
Boom!
A silver pillar of light shot straight into the sky.
When the light faded, the familiar architectural style of the Southwest region came into view.
Only then did Wu Xingyun and the others slightly relax.
"That's quite unexpected." Li Changshou whispered, "The Xiao family's headquarters didn't chase after us?"
"It is indeed strange. The Clan Headquarters is not weak, and they should have the means to search for our traces, so why haven't they appeared yet?" Medicine Matriarch also found it peculiar.
Although she didn't speak much or take action on this journey, she had already prepared herself.
If there's danger, I'll fight with all I've got first!
I'll do my best to protect Xiao Ling'er and Wu Xingyun and the others.
As for myself, at worst, I'll just fall back into slumber.
But I never expected our return to be this smooth.
Wu Xingyun pondered, "Could there be some issue over there that's keeping them busy?"
"That's also a possibility." Duan Qingyao nodded slightly, "But no matter what, the fact that we all returned safely is the best outcome."
"Once we're back in the Southwest Region, we won't have to fear the Xiao family anymore."
Although the Xiao family is strong, they wouldn't dare launch a large-scale attack, or else they'd be seeking death.
Even if they send a few of their peak experts, Moonseizing Sect isn't overly afraid.
There's also the Liu family to rely on! The Liu family's strength is not far behind the Xiao family, and they are the local power. There's no reason to fear them.
Moreover, they can't arrive that quickly!
Wait for a period of time?
The Elders are all eagerly awaiting.
After waiting for some time, what will Moonseizing Sect look like?
...
After a few more days of travel, Xiao Ling'er and her group finally returned to Moonseizing Sect.
The moment Xiao Ling'er saw Lin Fan, her heart filled with joy, but immediately, she was startled.
"Master?"
"Your cultivation...?"
Before this, Lin Fan had been slowly climbing in the Third Primordial Spirit Energy Realm.
When Xiao Ling'er left, Lin Fan was only at the seventh level.
But at this moment, Xiao Ling'er was astonished to discover that Lin Fan's cultivation had surpassed her!
She was still a bit short of reaching the Third Heavenly Cavern Realm, but Lin Fan had already attained the Third Heavenly Cavern Realm!
And all of this had happened during her journey and return?
This...
It's too fast!
"Oh, you mean cultivation?"
Lin Fan chuckled lightly, "I've been quite lucky these days, with several moments of enlightenment. It's been a bumpy road, but I've barely managed to reach this stage."
"The realm is unstable, merely a temporary state."
Hearing this, Xiao Ling'er was stunned, while Elders like Wu Xingyun were both shocked and overjoyed!
Although it was unbelievable, moments of enlightenment aside, but several times at that, the Sect Master's rapid cultivation progress was indeed a reason for joy!
"Hiss!!!"
"Your Master is indeed no ordinary person!"
"It seems my previous guess was mostly correct. He... seems to possess an Innate Martial Soul!"
In Xiao Ling'er's Sea of Consciousness, Medicine Matriarch exclaimed, "Perhaps even he himself hasn't noticed, or maybe he hasn't fully awakened yet, but it's definitely an Innate Martial Soul!"
"Innate Martial Soul..."
Xiao Ling'er was a bit puzzled, "Master, I've heard you mention it before, but I've never fully understood. What exactly is an Innate Martial Soul?"
"The so-called Innate Martial Soul," Medicine Matriarch took a deep breath before continuing, "You can understand it as someone born with the aptitude for cultivation."
"Throughout history, few can compare to this type of person in terms of suitability for cultivation."
"For ordinary people, cultivating and comprehending the Dao is extremely difficult. Even those with exceptional comprehension abilities often require a significant amount of effort..."
"But those with Innate Martial Souls find it as easy as eating and drinking. It's like water flowing into a channel, effortlessly attainable, even while sleeping, sudden enlightenment may occur."
"Ordinary cultivators learning a supreme art, from understanding it to practicing it, perfecting it, and integrating it into their foundation, requires a tremendous amount of energy and time."
"But for those with Innate Martial Souls, they might grasp it with just a glance, and then effortlessly apply it. They might even see through the strengths and weaknesses of the art with a single look, and then take it a step further, improving and strengthening it!"
"It can even lead to a broader understanding. After seeing this supreme art, they can create their own, even more powerful art based on it!"
Medicine Matriarch paused before adding, "If I were to exaggerate a bit, it's like... there's no supreme art that those with Innate Martial Souls can't learn, and no realm they can't break through!"
"Σ(⊙▽⊙“a?!?!
Xiao Ling'er was shocked.
"Ah?"
"Innate Martial Souls are so powerful?"
"If given enough time, won't Master become invincible in the world?!"
Too powerful!
If Xiao Ling'er weren't a transmigrator, she would have definitely exclaimed in awe. Her current ability was already impressive, but with an Innate Martial Soul, it's simply invincible!
"Not necessarily..."
But Medicine Matriarch spoke with a hint of mystery, "There's another physique even more astonishing than Innate Martial Souls."
"It's said that Innate Martial Souls are just a part of that physique, a prerequisite."
"What physique is that?"
Xiao Ling'er was even more curious and yearned for it.
That physique was too powerful, right?
"Chaos Physique!"
"However, the Chaos Physique is only a legend, and if I'm not mistaken, your Master, as long as he lives long enough, can easily suppress all enemies!"
"!!!"
Xiao Ling'er was stunned.
She didn't ask further about the power of the Chaos Physique, fearing that it might diminish her motivation to strive.
The gap was too vast!
"Congratulations, Master."
Although Xiao Ling'er was shocked, she was more delighted by Lin Fan's progress and 'special ability'.
"Just luck, pure luck."
Lin Fan smiled lightly.
In fact...
During these days, he had secluded himself, diligently cultivating.
With Xiao Ling'er's abundant supply of high-quality pills and the shared affinity, his cultivation speed was like a thousand miles a day!
Currently, he had already reached the Fourth Realm's fourth level!
The third level was still slightly hidden.
In truth, he had long wanted to display his cultivation advancement to the Fourth Heavenly Cave Realm, at least one minor realm higher than Xiao Ling'er, right?
Otherwise, it wouldn't look good!
But he never found a suitable opportunity.
After all, Xiao Ling'er's cultivation skyrocketed after taming the Unyielding Flame, and without any extraordinary encounters or opportunities, it wouldn't make sense for his own cultivation to surge suddenly.
So, he waited until now.
During this time, the four elders were away, the first elder was busy with sect affairs, and Lin Fan also had some rare 'leisure' days, so he took this opportunity to 'enlighten' himself several times, consecutively breaking through...
It was only logical!
That's why, as soon as Xiao Ling'er and the others returned, they witnessed this scene.
At this moment, Lin Fan's mood was excellent.
Although the cultivation he displayed wasn't his true strength, his genuine cultivation was indeed improving!
At the Fourth Heavenly Cave Realm's fourth tier, combined with the growth of several other disciples during this period, if he could share Xiao Ling'er, Fan Jianqiang, and the other four's combat power, Lin Fan could instantly surge to the Fifth Firmament Realm, possessing the cultivation and combat prowess of the Fifth Finger Mystic Realm!
If he were to use all means...
Lin Fan felt that he should be able to compete with a Sixth Firmament Realm cultivator, crossing a major realm.
Even if the opponent was at the second or third level of the Sixth Firmament Realm, he should be able to fight and win!
After some casual conversation, Xiao Ling'er expressed that she wouldn't be leaving the Moonseizing Sect for the next period; instead, she would cultivate and refine pills simultaneously, striving to enhance her strength as much as possible.
And at all times, she would be ready to help Firecloud with her matters in about half a year.
As well as...
The three-year agreement in about a year!
By then, it should be even more perilous.
But Xiao Ling'er was confident that she could cut down her opponent from the clouds.
"Good."
Lin Fan naturally smiled and nodded in agreement, then said to the four elders, "Elders, you've worked hard. Go to the treasure vault and take a few more pills. Rest and cultivate for a while."
"Recently, the sect has been quite peaceful, so there isn't much for you to do."
"Yes, Sect Master."
They all retreated.
However, on this evening, Qiu Yongqin came to find Lin Fan, expressing his determination to venture out and explore.
"Sect Master."
He knelt on one knee, his expression solemn: "Disciple is a revenger, living for vengeance. Although the sect is a good place, I yearn to temper myself in the outside world and search for my enemy's traces."
"But, as long as I am a Moonseizing Sect disciple, I will forever remain one."
"No matter where I am, as long as the sect needs me, with a single command from the sect, even if I'm at the ends of the earth, I will return at the first opportunity."
"Please, Sect Master..."
"I understand."
Lin Fan wasn't surprised by Qiu Yongqin's request.
Protagonists like him, who start as weak and become strong, are destined to venture outside the sect.
Because their template dictates that they must explore the world, seeking various encounters and opportunities.
Otherwise, relying solely on that jade bottle, it would be challenging to compete with other protagonist templates.
Take that scoundrel, Gou Sheng, for example.
And...
That Long Aotian!
These two are unique among protagonists; they can remain in one place, and without any opportunities or encounters, they can maintain their 'invincibility,' with their strength steadily rising.
In comparison, Qiu Yongqin, a 'late-blooming weakling' protagonist, undoubtedly faces a more challenging path.
But...
They encounter many opportunities! They even have more than one exclusive instance.
Therefore, venturing out and exploring the wild is their best option for growth.
So, Lin Fan smiled lightly, "Everyone has their unique encounters and paths."
"My path, your path, and all our paths, are different."
"What you need to do is choose the path you most want to take, embark on it, and then, without hesitation, take big steps forward, always moving, always advancing."
"Even if, in the end, this path is severed, you must continue the immortal path."
"That's all."
Qiu Yongqin was deeply moved.
He hadn't expected Lin Fan to agree so readily. After all, he had been nurtured by the sect until now, yet he had hardly repaid them in any form.
But now, he wanted to leave.
Under normal circumstances, wouldn't any leader of a power refuse such a request? Otherwise, if everyone acted this way, how could the sect develop?
But their sect master agreed! He even encouraged Qiu Yongqin to stick to his path and take big steps forward?!
This...
"Thank you, Sect Master!"
At this moment, Qiu Yongqin's heart was filled with mixed emotions and surging passion.
He even felt like staying in the Moonseizing Sect, thinking, "A gentleman dies for the one who understands him."
It was then that Lin Fan stretched out his hand.
Whoosh.
A white jade bottle flew through the air and landed in Qiu Yongqin's hand.
"Inside are Consolidation Pills, Primordial Pills, Heavenly Cave Pills, and some Fifth Finger Mystic Pills."
"It should be enough for your cultivation up to the Fifth Firmament Realm."
"But remember, don't flaunt your wealth. When you're outside, don't let anyone know you have these high-quality pills; otherwise, it will be extremely dangerous!"
"As for the rest..."
"Our Moonseizing Sect is still in the development stage, and we don't have many resources. After you finish these pills, remember to return, and at that time, you should be able to receive more pills."
"Regarding artifacts, our sect only has standard treasures, which aren't suitable for your journey outside."
"The Moonseizing Sect has many enemies, and if you reveal your identity outside, you might be targeted by them, which is too dangerous. So, you'll have to acquire them yourself."
After saying this, Lin Fan took out a storage bag and handed it to Qiu Yongqin: "Inside is one million essence stones, not much, but as you know, our sect is poor, and as the sect master, I have to consider everyone. One million is the limit."
"Take it. When you're outside, don't let yourself down. Remember, don't be impulsive when facing difficulties, adhere to the sect's rules, fight if you can win, and..."
"If you encounter any grievances outside, you can always return. The sect will always be your home."
(Chapter End)
"Right, I also copied down the core rules of our Moonseizing Sect for you. Memorize them and then destroy the copy."
"If you find someone outside who meets the conditions for taking in disciples, you can bring them back when you have the time."
"..."
At this moment, Lin Fan was 'incessantly talking,' as if he were giving instructions to a child about to leave home for a long journey.
Qiu Yongqin held the storage bag and the jade bottle, which should have been light, but at this moment, he felt they weighed a thousand jun. He...
Almost couldn't hold them up anymore.
His actions felt like he was betraying the sect and running away!
Not only did the Sect Master not blame him, but he even personally gave him such precious pills and ten thousand essence stones! Furthermore, he thought of him so much and earnestly advised him...
At this moment,
He couldn't help but think of his deceased parents.
His eyes welled up with tears.
It was only at this moment that he realized, in this world, apart from his parents, the Sect Master treated him so well, unselfishly and always thinking of him!
He...
Must repay the Sect Master and the sect well.
He must not let the Sect Master and the sect down!
At this moment, he made a solemn vow in his heart.
He must repay the sect and the Sect Master well.
And he must never betray the sect.
Otherwise, he would suffer the cruelest punishments and the most painful experiences before dying!
"Sect Master."
"Disciple..."
"Will remember!"
Watching Qiu Yongqin leave with tears in his eyes, Lin Fan felt a bit embarrassed.
"Cough."
"Did I go too far with this?"
He could roughly guess Qiu Yongqin's thoughts, and that was why he felt embarrassed.
After all, he wasn't really unselfish.
Strictly speaking, he was making an investment, and wasn't investment for the sake of returns?
After all, he was the protagonist template...
Shouldn't he invest more?
But from Qiu Yongqin's perspective, he was probably seen as unselfish, like a sincere father figure.
This was a misunderstanding.
For Lin Fan, it could be considered a beautiful misunderstanding.
Therefore, he naturally wouldn't actively clear it up.
As for what happens later...
Who can say for sure?
Three days later.
Lin Fan called the Grand Elder Su Xinghai to discuss matters.
"Grand Elder."
"I see our Outer Sect disciples are growing steadily. Most are already at the Fifth Level of the First Stage of Opening the Mystic Gate, right?"
"The Sect Master is correct."
Mentioning this, Su Xinghai's face lit up with a smile, and he felt amazed!
Because...
The method of taking in disciples was too 'unconventional.'
Whether it was other sects or the Moonseizing Sect in the past, they would select disciples based on talent, admitting them in order of their talent, and the number of disciples admitted depended on the resources available.
But now, it was completely unconventional.
The main focus was on breaking the rules.
Firstly, people from the 'four major surnames' could be admitted directly as long as their talent wasn't too far off, prioritizing their admission.
Then there were those who met other conditions...
Such people were rare, so it wasn't easy to recruit them.
But there were still a few occasionally.
For example, those with mysterious fiancees or those betrayed by their fiancees...
This unconventional method of taking in disciples seemed unreliable.
Even now, Su Xinghai couldn't figure out why Lin Fan was doing this, or what the connection was between these conditions, especially the surnames, and taking in disciples.
He didn't understand!
But he followed the instructions.
However, the facts so far proved that Lin Fan was right.
Although they didn't strictly adhere to talent in taking in disciples, these four major surname disciples who were prioritized for admission did not perform poorly!
They weren't the best or the most powerful in their cohort, but they were definitely not bad!
At least compared to other disciples with slightly better talent, their cultivation progress was on par or even slightly better.
Especially those who met more than one 'priority admission' condition, their progress was even faster!
Su Xinghai couldn't figure out why this was so.
Ultimately, he could only speculate that it was the power of 'spirit.'
For example, those with mysterious fiancees might work harder to be worthy of their fiancees.
Those betrayed by their girlfriends might persevere through gritted teeth to seek revenge.
Lin Fan didn't know what Su Xinghai was thinking, but after receiving a positive response, he smiled and said, "That's good."
"Since that's the case, we can move on to the next step."
"Let's establish the task and reward system as soon as possible."
"Those at the Fifth Level of Opening the Mystic Gate can gradually start helping with some minor tasks."
"We must be clear about rewards and punishments."
"The sect will cultivate them, but they can't just take without giving back."
"Yes, Sect Master."
Su Xinghai had already had this intention and immediately responded, "Shall we follow the rules we discussed earlier?"
"Um."
"Also, temporarily clear out two mountains in the Inner Sect, set up formations, and put some low-rank demon beasts and spirit herbs in there for the disciples to use as a trial ground. You can control the difficulty."
"Sect Master, rest assured. I'll handle this."
The Grand Elder smiled and took on the task.
Cough, don't scold me, the author also wants to update more, but with over a hundred thousand words and daily updates of ten thousand words, I'm really drained.
How about this, let's have an incentive plan?
For every thousand monthly votes, I'll add ten thousand words, and for every additional patron, I'll add another ten thousand words?
