Chapter #179. Easy"Baiyin put his finger to Tian Fan's forehead, stunned as he witnessed each fragment of memories from the elder that he had previously sent to the small world."What place is that? It seems heavily guarded. What's going on there?" Tian Fan queried, frustrated."It appears they've taken simultaneous action!" Tian Fan exclaimed angrily."It'd be best if you hurried back to the central continent first," Baiyin advised."Yeah, you're right, buddy.""I'll make some preparations first. There might be many guests coming in soon. I'll need your help, buddy," Tian Fan explained."Sure thing! The more people, the merrier. I'm excited because I can showcase my performance to a larger audience. I'm tired of performing only for those prisoners!" Baiyin expressed enthusiastically."Performance? What kind of performance are you talking about?" Tian Fan asked, courius."The Dragon Dance and Elephant Trunk Dance, HAHAHAHA!" Baiyin chuckled loudly.Tian Fan rubbed his forehead upon h
Chapter #177. After a Long TimeTian Fan shot off towards the place in his memory that he obtained from the elder he had previously fought. He furrowed his brow upon arriving at his intended destination because it turned out that the place he was looking for wasn't there.He traversed the forest area once more, yet the result remained the same. Undeterred, Tian Fan continued to search again and again, though the outcome persisted. Finally, he fell silent for a moment, starting to contemplate."It's impossible if the elder's memory is wrong. Everything in his recollection is vivid; it can't be an illusion," he muttered to himself.Tian Fan widened his eyes at his own words."Illusion?""Right, this is an illusion!" he exclaimed cheerfully.Swiftly descending from his flying position, he started to tread on the ground, his eyes scrutinizing every detail of the forest before him. His gaze squinted as he noticed something peculiar."Indeed, this is an array of illusions," he murmured soft
Chapter #181. UnveiledTian Fan sat beside his grandmother. Among the four individuals Tian Fan had rescued were Tian Yuwen, his father, and Xiao Ren, the eldest child of Xiao Long and Xiao Tao. The other two were members of other key families within the larger family circle.Now, they all sat facing each other. Tian Yuwen continued to gaze at his son with a bewildered expression, a stark contrast to Tian Fan, who had been staring sharply at his father and the other three individuals.Tian Fan's gaze made the room incredibly tense. Xiao Tao, the grandmother, who noticed the tension between father and son, immediately spoke up."Dear, why have you remained silent this whole time without saying a word?""Are you unwilling to greet your biological father and your mother's older brother?" Xiao Tao asked softly, only to be met with Tian Fan's blank expression."Dear, why are you silent and not responding?""If you're upset with your father, express it! Don't harbor hatred in your heart!" s
Chapter #182. BeginningFive sticks of incense later, Tian Yuwen and the other three had finished the treatment from Tian Fan. They shuddered in horror at the bath they used being filled with thin worms. Even after leaving their bodies, the worms still wriggled within the tub."How could those worms enter our bodies when we are all cultivators?" Xiao Ren exclaimed, still shocked by what was inside his body."Uncle, I once found an ancient book about this. It's a book on dark healing, about how to paralyze someone, even resurrect them from death," Tian Fan explained."That's what your father and I were investigating back then! We both found out that the Zhao family was behind all of this. They planned to take over the Xingguan world to return to the upper world," Tian Yuwen said seriously."So, that's what caused mother's injury and subsequent death?" Tian Fan asked coldly."For that, your father won't hide it from you, son. Your mother was injured by a secret strike from the Zhao fami
Chapter #183. HistoryThe Xiao family residence became bustling, grabbing the attention of everyone, as for a full day, the sky above the Xiao family's dwelling was incessantly covered with black clouds and thunderous baptismal lightning.This naturally raised question marks among the sect masters, elders, other prominent family heads, and patriarchs who witnessed this extremely rare event from a distance.From the bolts of lightning alone, it could be calculated with certainty. There were now four people ascending to the immortal realm, twelve ascending to the saint realm, and dozens rising to the Tianzun realm.With this number, the Xiao family's strength equaled that of the major sects in the central continent."This is truly the first time in history that dozens of people have ascended in a single day.""What's crazier is that the Xiao family now possesses nine immortal realms, equivalent to the power of our Heavenly Dragon Sect!" exclaimed the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Dragon S
Chapter #184. The Youngest Grandmaster AlchemistTian Fan opened his eyes, finding his father and two grandfathers looking at him with concern."Are you awake, son?" Tian Yuwen asked softly."You're so foolish. If he opened his eyes, that means he's awake!" Xiao Long teased."Hey, hey, don't call my son foolish! He's not foolish, just inexperienced in expressing himself as a father!" Tian Fang defended his son."And what word would be appropriate to describe your son, then?" Xiao Long retorted."Well, if that's the case… semi-foolish might still be applicable!" Tian Fang remarked, immediately eliciting a sour expression from Tian Yuwen."Just keep mocking me until you're satisfied. It seems both of you are in cahoots to tease me!" Yuwen retorted to his father and father-in-law.Tian Fan, witnessing this, just chuckled at the comical behavior of his two grandfathers in taunting his father."It seems you're quite pleased to see your father being teased and bullied by your two grandfathe
Chapter #185. RestoreXiao Long sat in his chair, staring intently at the imperial prime minister and the grandmaster alchemists seated beside him. He couldn't fathom the presence of the Zhang imperial elites before him, as their arrival at his residence seemed to harbor ulterior motives, accompanied by an exceptional display of arrogance.They seemed to have some motivations driving them, granting them the audacity to arrive at the Xiao family residence with an exceptionally arrogant demeanor.The imperial entourage, led by the prime minister, the crown prince, and Princess Zhang Li, arrived just moments before Xiao Long and his group. Their purpose for visiting the Xiao family home was to confront Tian Fan, who had allegedly besmirched the crown prince's reputation, disrupted the imperial banquet, trespassed into the crown prince's private area, and insulted him.Furthermore, the crown prince leveled serious accusations against Tian Fan for boldly claiming to be a Grandmaster Alchem
Chapter #186. Equivalent?The Xiao family, the Tian family, and representatives of the major sect in the capital, confirmed Tian Fan's words. A day after the meeting at the Xiao family's residence, they headed to the imperial palace.Just the news of their visit to the palace alone caused a stir in the empire, and it grew even more chaotic after learning the true identity of Tian Fan. It truly gave the emperor a headache. It turned out Tian Fan was a direct descendant of the Xiao and Tian families. Coupled with his extraordinary achievements and status as an alchemist, it truly angered the emperor against the crown prince."Grandmaster Alchemist, what about the truth behind the youth's pill? Is it indeed the Honesty Pill?" the emperor asked seriously."To be honest, I've only recently learned about this pill, but five out of the whole batch have been tested, and indeed, the pill forces someone to speak the truth. Otherwise, it causes a severe headache and internal discomfort if the pi
