Chapter #148. The White Lotus GroupTian Fan drew his sword from its sheath, directing it towards the people who had been pressuring him earlier."Pressure your aura at me again! I guarantee my sword will be covered in the blood of those who dared to challenge me!" Tian Fan exclaimed loudly, emanating a killing aura.Everyone there was incensed seeing Tian Fan boldly challenging everyone present."He's got guts, but unfortunately, he doesn't measure himself or the situation," remarked one young man sitting in a corner of the inn.Some individuals who had been pressuring Tian Fan with their auras from the beginning suddenly stood up. The young men from several major sects immediately prepared to attack Tian Fan. Being at the initial and middle Emperor levels, they felt the need to defend their pride because Tian Fan's challenge was clearly aimed at them."You're so arrogant, challenging us! Especially when you're alone!" said one of the young men who had earlier exerted his aura agains
Chapter #149. Xiao and TianToday was the day the ancient tomb was opened. All young men and women from major, intermediate, and minor sects, young lords and ladies, as well as independent cultivators, flocked to the entrance of the ancient tomb.According to circulating rumors, the ancient tomb was the burial site of a late-stage immortal. However, some believed it belonged to a cultivator whose realm surpassed that of an immortal.Tian Fan emerged from his room with a calm and composed demeanor. As he stepped out, he noticed Manager Zu standing in front of his room."Good morning, Master Fan.""Good morning, Manager Zu. It seems I should congratulate you first on your cultivation advancement," Tian Fan said warmly."All thanks to the pills from Master Fan, Zu should be the one expressing gratitude," Manager Zu replied politely."Master Fan, Zu has done what you asked for. Here are their replies," Manager Zu said softly, handing a letter to Tian Fan.Tian Fan read the message and smi
Chapter #150. Ancient TombTian Fan and the Tian Tse group approached a tent built to the west of the ancient tomb. Many cultivators with the Zhao symbol were present inside the tent.(Hmm, looks like there are some smart individuals in the Zhao group too. I need to be a bit cautious.)Tian Fan could deduce this because he had read books on war strategy, and what the Zhao coalition group was doing was one of those strategies. By displaying their strength at the outset, they sought to crush the psychological defenses of other groups, making them more wary of the Zhao coalition in the future.Tian Tse entered the tent, where sect disciples, young masters, and misses were gathered. Besides them, there were several elders accompanying them."The awaited one has finally arrived. Welcome, Young Master Tian Tse," said one of the young men sitting at the highest spot in the tent."It seems we arrived the latest. Please forgive our delay," Tian Tse said with authority."You act like someone im
Chapter #151. Show offFinally, Zhao Ze's group was forced to fight against the swarm of beasts, including the hundreds of black bee beasts. As Tian Fan had suspected, Zhao Ze and his elite team had special weapons to counter the horde of beasts.Reluctantly, they ventured into the dark forest to reach their first goal. Tian Fan and the others grimaced at what they saw; it was clear that Zhao Ze and his group intended harm upon them."Let's move! Don't waste the efforts of Young Master Zhao in clearing the way for us," said Tian Fan, nonchalantly.This statement was met with wry smiles from everyone. They quickly followed behind Zhao's group.The contrast was stark. Zhao's group suffered many casualties among their hired guards and cultivators, leaving only the core team and elites from the three families surviving the onslaught of the beasts.In contrast, Tian Fan's group moved forward smoothly, without a single member being injured.Zhao's group finally arrived at their first destin
Chapter #152. Map FragmentZhao Ze went berserk and prepared to attack Tian Fan, but the remaining elite guards held him back. Despite Zhao Ze and the two remaining guards launching an attack on Tian Fan, they hesitated to win the fight, especially now that Tian Fan's group outnumbered theirs. Additionally, with Zi Han and Tang Bin defecting, along with two other companions, it automatically weakened them further.Finally, Zhao Ze and the others chose to leave after Zhao Ze's elite guards spoke to him."I'll let you go for now. At least, I'll disrupt your family's plans with this place," murmured Tian Fan.After Zhao Ze's group left, Tian Fan and the geniuses in his group joyfully harvested the spirit plant, Balakacida, from the grassy field. They evenly distributed the acquired spirit plants, ensuring fairness in the harvesting process.Balakacida plants serve as meridian openers. When a cultivator consumes these pills, they can open fifty to a hundred closed small meridians.Moreove
Chapter #153. The Hidden TempleEveryone rejoiced at what Tian Fan had conveyed. After some arrangements by Tian Fan, they finally set off towards the Hidden Temple.However, this time, only Tian Fan and the geniuses from the sect departed to continue the journey. The rest were asked to wait and seek their own fortunes within the ancient tomb.It wasn't without reason that Tian Fan was reluctant to bring too many people. From the notes he had made based on his mother's riddles, there was a slight hint of the danger along the route to the Hidden Temple.Therefore, he chose to travel with just a few people those who had reached the Sky Realm.Tian Fan and the ten geniuses from various sects, clans, and ancient families sprinted towards the west, taking a different route from Zhao Ze and his group.After an incense stick's worth of travel, Tian Fan finally stopped at a place filled with tall grass that matched their height.(It turns out to be just as my mother's message described.)"Bro
Chapter #154. The Importance of a PhysicianAfter recuperating their strength, Tian Fan and the others began to step into the hidden temple.Tang Bin, filled with enthusiasm, hurriedly stepped forward into the temple courtyard.Click"Uh..."Tang Bin accidentally triggered a trap in the front yard of the hidden temple by stepping on a stone.Swing swing swing swingHundreds of arrows swiftly shot towards Tang Bin. Caught off guard, he could only stare, astonished, as the barrage of arrows aimed at him with incredible speed.Thud thud thud! UGHHWhoosh whoosh whooshTian Fan swiftly leaped, positioning himself in front of Tang Bin, twirling his sword at a rapid pace to deflect the hundreds of arrows aimed at him.Successfully deflecting all the arrows, he immediately turned towards Tang Bin, noticing three arrows firmly lodged in Tang Bin's body, precisely in his vital organs."TANG BIN!" Heng Yan and Heng Jian shouted simultaneously.Tang Bin staggered, on the verge of collapsing to t
Chapter #155. The Forging King"Hey kid, quickly get up and head east now!""Elder Baiyin? What's there?" Tian Fan asked Baiyin, the black dragon, through telepathy."You'll find out soon," Baiyin quickly replied.Tian Fan immediately hurried toward the direction Baiyin indicated and soon arrived at a place with a high cliff."It's indeed the place," Baiyin communicated telepathically."Elder, please explain to me what this is," Tian Fan asked, curious."This place, this tomb, is a small world left behind by my first master, who was also the discoverer of the Xingguang world.""Kid, I'll borrow your body for a moment!" Baiyin impatiently said.Without waiting for Tian Fan's permission, Baiyin's spiritual consciousness had already entered Tian Fan's consciousness, taking over."How can this be, Elder?" Tian Fan exclaimed in shock.Now in his subconscious, he could see Baiyin controlling his body. Even though he could feel his body moving, Tian Fan couldn't control it."Don't be afraid
