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
Chapter #156. Entering the Hidden TempleTian Fan opened his eyes, slowly sitting up while holding his still throbbing head. After a moment of calming himself, he began to survey his surroundings.Baiyin appeared seated on the ground, intensely observing him."Where did Ancestor Bozhou go?" Tian Fan asked softly."The master disappeared after giving you a gift!" Baiyin replied casually."A gift?""Hmm," Baiyin answered shortly."What?" Tian Fan inquired."Concentrate."Tian Fan then assumed a meditative posture, closing his eyes. Just after ten breaths, he reopened his eyes. He glanced back at Baiyin."Do you understand now?" Baiyin asked shortly."Yes," Tian Fan replied briefly, a wide smile spreading across his lips."In that case, let's leave here immediately! Don't forget to take everything with you," Baiyin reiterated."Of course, it would be foolish to leave behind such valuable items!" Tian Fan remarked quickly.He directed his hand towards the floating artifacts and boxes. Amo
Chapter #157. Chaos StoneTian Fan and Zhuting maneuvered swiftly through the traps along their path, managing to bypass a dozen traps within a quarter of an incense stick's burning time.Tian Fan pushed open the massive gate before them. As the gate swung open, at the far end of the room, five floating objects surrounded by a protective array came into view.Zhuting's eyes widened at the sight of the phoenix feathers and phoenix blood she sought. Meanwhile, Tian Fan focused on one object present, an item possibly sought by the Zhao family."Chaos Stone!" Tian Fan whispered softly."Brother , junior will take that item! You can have the rest," Tian Fan said straightforwardly."No, younger brother! I only need those two items. You take the rest. Besides, you're the one who showed me the way here," Zhuting retorted."The sword and the book align better with the elements you study. It's best if you take those. As for the phoenix feather and blood, it seems more fitting for you to keep th
Chapter #158. Eternal Pill and the Gateway to the Upper WorldTian Fan and the three beauties now sat facing each other, after a tense negotiation and a bit of allure regarding beauty, the initially tense three beauties melted and momentarily made peace."So, what did the Zhao family promise to the sect master and the elders of your clans?" Tian Fan asked the three beauties, who were blooming after receiving a bottle of Lou Han Ko potion from Tian Fan."Since I'm in a good mood and this is no longer a secret, let me explain," Zi Han spoke up.Tian Fan smirked sourly upon hearing Zi Han's narrative.(That flighty girl!)"So, the Zhao family visited our clan a long time ago and made an offer to our clan chief, who also happens to be my father. They invited us to cooperate in finding the hidden temple.""They also conveyed that if we find the Chaos Stone, they will exchange it for the Eternal Pill being crafted by the Grandmaster alchemists of the Zhao family and the Chong family!"
