Chapter #165. The Secret of the Golden PagodaZhao Ran, Zhao Ze, and Chong Ye lay sprawled on the ground, foam trickling from their mouths. Baiyin's performance had truly taken a toll on their mental and psychological states. Coupled with Baiyin's forceful reading of everything within their minds, the trio had finally succumbed, unconscious and in a miserable condition."It seems like they will genuinely be traumatized if they see you, especially witnessing your absurd performance, friend," remarked Tian Fan, nonchalant.Baiyin just laughed upon hearing Tian Fan's words."What's your next move now?" Baiyin inquired again."From the memories of Zhao Ze and Zhao Ran, I can at least begin to guess the rough outline of their plan. Unfortunately, neither of them knows the precise and detailed plan of the Zhao family elders," Tian Fan explained."But I sense some oddities and irregularities here. Somehow, I feel there's something else, and there's a possibility of someone else behind the sc
Chapter #166. Returning to the Xingguang World."WHOOSH" The golden pagoda gleamed brightly, its nine floors now emitting a dazzling light that stunned anyone that see it. Shortly after, a beam of light began to emerge from the ninth floor of the pagoda where the final test was held.The light moved slowly and steadily, eventually stopping not far from the gates of the golden pagoda.Emerging from behind the light was Tian Fan, his bright face appearing now in front of Baiyin."It seems from the look on your face that you have good news to share," remarked Baiyin casually.Tian Fan simply nodded in response to the black dragon's question."I had a feeling!" replied Baiyin nonchalantly. "It looks like the upper world should prepare for the arrival of a new genius from the Xingguang world," he continued.Tian Fan just smiled in response to his friend's statement."How long have I been inside this golden pagoda?""Only six months! To be exact, 179 days, and forty sticks of incense!" answ
Chapter #167. Critical SituationTian Fan sat on one of the chairs with five other people seated directly across from him.The five individuals gazed sharply in Tian Fan's direction. Both Tian Fan and the five individuals in front of him remained silent, waiting for someone to initiate the conversation.Observing the silence from the five individuals, Tian Fan took the first step to speak. Despite facing two individuals in the saint realm, two in the sky realm, and a beautiful woman who had encountered him in the bathing tub within the Emperor's realm, Tian Fan remained composed."Ladies, gentlemen, and everyone, please forgive this incident, and pardon me for not introducing myself earlier. My name is Tian Fan from the Eastern Continent," he calmly introduced himself."However, before this junior explains, may I ask if you all are related to Senior Zhuting?" Tian Fan inquired."Kid, it's not your time or place to ask questions," sneered the man in the middle sky realm.The middle-age
Chapter #168. JealousyAfter conversing for a while and fulfilling previous promises, Tian Fan then bid farewell from the Wang family's residence.Tian Fan refused to stay longer because there were things he had to do. He also asked Wang Dunrui to inform Zhuting about the bracelet that was now in his possession, leaving some pills he made for his fellow student's family.Tian Fan promised to attend the meeting place to accompany Wang Bian there.After asking for directions from Wang Dunrui, Tian Fan went on to his main destination on this central continent.Just a couple of incense sticks later, he arrived in front of a magnificent old house. Two guards stood tall at the entrance gate of the grand mansion.("So, this is the house where Mother was raised.") Tian Fan murmured softly, feeling a bit touched.Tian Fan slowly walked towards the gate, where the two guards, upon seeing his arrival, immediately inquired."Young master, can we help you?" one guard respectfully asked."Is this t
Chapter #169. Embarking on a Grand Plan"KABOOOMM!"An elder and his subordinates were thrown against the wall due to a powerful strike by someone seated in the Zhao family's grand chair."How could they disappear just like that? Have you found the person who opposed Zhao Ze in that ancient tomb?" demanded the elder."Not yet, patriarch! Although we know the name of the young man, there's no member from the Tian family or their branch families with the same name as the young man," replied another elder."Our spies didn't find any clues about the young man. However, it's certain that he isn't from this central continent," answered another patriarch."So what's the progress on finding the Chaos Stones?! Have they been located?!" questioned the patriarch once more."Our elders sent to the sect masters confirmed that the geniuses disciples didn't find the Chaos Stones in the ancient tomb. However, there's good news from the western and southern continents. Their search in the ancient city
Chapter #170. Emperor XiandiDespite a previous minor incident, Xiao Long, Xiao Shilin, and Sima Du finally met with the three major families who came to the Xiao family residence.Especially after discovering that Tian Fan was actually a part of the Xiao family, the three major families had no hesitation in forming an alliance with the Xiao and Sima families.The five major families gathered in the main hall of the Xiao family. From their expressions, it was evident they were elated because all five families agreed to create an alliance. Moreover, this alliance was highly beneficial for all parties involved.With Tian Fan spearheading this alliance, although fundamentally it was just a regular cooperation, the presence of Tian Fan and the bright prospects ahead led the Zhu, Wang, and Yu families to form deeper ties with the Xiao family.Furthermore, the three families were all "cheated" by the Zhao family and its allies, and Tian Fan emerged as the savior for these families."Grandfa
Chapter #171. Heading to Zhang Empire.Observing Xiao Shilin's alertness, Patriarch Zhu just smiled faintly at him. He then took out a token from behind his clothes a sky-blue token adorned with a pentagram engraving.Seeing it, Xiao Shilin widened his eyes."The elite continent protectors, formation division," Xiao Shilin murmured softly."Correct. I apologize for keeping this a secret! Actually, the Zhu family is also one of the ancient families. We've just kept it hidden from the world. Only a handful of people know about our family's origins because our duty is to protect the continent from the appearance of the demon king, Xiandi," Patriarch Zhu explained."Young man, tell us what you know!" Zhuna interjected.Tian Fan glanced at Xiao Shilin for guidance. Xiao Shilin, seeing Tian Fan's gaze, nodded in approval.Tian Fan then recounted what he knew, starting from the events related to the Zhao family to how he obtained the chaos stone.Zhuna and the others were stunned by Tian Fan
Chapter #172. Retaliated threefold.Shortly after, a distinct aura of impending death focused on Tian Fan. Zhao Pi and Zhao San, witnessing Tian Fan's arrival, immediately displayed their hostility and grudge towards him.Not to be outdone, Tian Fan also emitted his own aura of impending death towards Zhao Pi and Zhao San, staring intensely at them. Tian Fan conveyed silently but forcefully through his lips, a message read by Zhao Pi and Zhao San, who stood several steps away from where Tian Fan stood."Tonight, you will experience my retaliation, I will repay you threefold for what you did to me!" Tian Fan's lip movement conveyed this message to Zhao Pi and Zhao San.Zhao San's emotions flared up instantly, but Zhao Pi, beside him, swiftly restrained his movements with his hand."Be patient! There will be a time for us to teach him a lesson. Right now, the most crucial thing is to fulfill your father's assigned task! Remember, your father warned not to fail this simple task," Zhao Pi
