Chapter 1029: A Huge Loss

Lin Fan’s current strength was much greater than it had been three years ago.

All of this was truly thanks to the Future Immeasurable Buddha.

Within that tri-temporal realm, Lin Fan had engaged in a fierce battle with the Future Immeasurable Buddha. Countless divine techniques had been unleashed, and through it all, Lin Fan’s own divine abilities had advanced to an extremely high level.

Eventually, after suppressing the Future Immeasurable Buddha, its divine consciousness had also granted Lin Fan a vast amount of experience.

A single finger pointed forth, yet it contained the ultimate essence of sword cultivation—an attack impossible to evade, sealing off the surrounding space and time itself.

The Five Elements Sword Intent ranked twenty-first among the supreme sword cultivation techniques of the Heaven and Earth Sect. When Lin Fan fused them into a single sword intent, it had become incredibly powerful.

Even the top divine techniques of the Heaven and Earth Sect would likely be no match for it.

“You…” the Ghost-Sunder Ancestor showed a look of alarm. His entire body, wrapped in this sword intent, felt as though his spiritual power had been severed, entering a momentary void.

His spiritual energy seemed frozen, unable to circulate.

At that moment, Qiu Zhan Yu and Golden Mushroom instantly reclaimed the Celestial Net.

Ding!

A single finger landed on the Ghost-Sunder Ancestor’s forehead. To him, it was terrifying. Drops of sweat rolled from his forehead.

“Wait,” the Ghost-Sunder Ancestor spoke, his eyes revealing infinite fear. He realized that this opponent before him was no ordinary foe—his strength was beyond his own.

“I can’t wait,” Lin Fan’s lips curled into a faint smile. With a flick of his finger, ripples spread outward in waves.

The Ghost-Sunder Ancestor’s eyes widened suddenly. His body trembled slightly as a strand of sword intent pierced directly from Lin Fan’s finger into his very being.

No one understood what had just happened.

Qiu Zhan Yu and Golden Mushroom gazed at the scene unfolding in the void, puzzled and uncertain.

They had no idea what Lin Fan and the Ghost-Sunder Ancestor were doing.

Crack!

Suddenly, in the silent void, a sharp sound rang out.

It was like shattered glass—clear, crisp, and heart-stopping.

“How is this possible? I, the Ghost-Sunder Ancestor, have dominated my era. How could I perish here?” The Ghost-Sunder Ancestor felt deep resentment. As a Golden Immortal expert, he had roamed the heavens and earth, his cultivation unparalleled.

He had come here only upon hearing from Luo Li that there was a supreme Immortal artifact here.

Yet he never expected to die here.

Lin Fan folded his hands behind his back, glanced at the Ghost-Sunder Ancestor, and then turned directly, walking toward Qiu Zhan Yu and Golden Mushroom.

“Big Brother, he…” Qiu Zhan Yu looked nervously at the Ghost-Sunder Ancestor in the void, unsure of what had just occurred.

Crack!

Suddenly, the Ghost-Sunder Ancestor’s face cracked open, and like spreading cracks, his body began to shatter, piece by piece, floating into the void.

Beneath his robes, his body also began to break apart. Then, ten thousand sword beams pierced through his form, bursting outward, illuminating the heavens and earth.

The Ghost-Sunder Ancestor’s body became like an exploding ball of light, so brilliant that none could bear to look directly.

Boom!

With a deafening explosion, the mighty Ghost-Sunder Ancestor truly vanished into oblivion.

Lin Fan’s current strength is far superior to what it was three years ago.

All of this is truly thanks to the Future Infinite King Buddha.

In the realm of the Three Lives, Lin Fan and the Future Infinite King Buddha engaged in a fierce battle, unleashing countless divine powers, which also allowed Lin Fan to cultivate his own abilities to an extremely high level.

After finally subduing the Future Infinite King Buddha, the divine consciousness left behind also brought Lin Fan a wealth of experience.

With a single finger pointed, it contained the supreme essence of the sword path, leaving no room for evasion, and even the surrounding space-time was sealed off.

The Five Elements Sword Intent, ranked twenty-first among the supreme sword techniques of the Heaven and Earth Sect, especially after being fused into a single sword intent by Lin Fan, became incredibly formidable.

Even the top divine abilities of the Heaven and Earth Sect might not be a match for it.

“You…” The face of the Nether Demon Ancestor showed panic, as his entire mana seemed to be severed under the enveloping sword intent, creating a blank period.

His entire mana felt as if it had solidified, unable to circulate.

At that moment, Autumn Slash Fish and Golden Needle Mushroom instantly reclaimed the Heaven Net.

Ding!

A finger pointed at the forehead of the Nether Demon Ancestor, causing him to break out in cold sweat, feeling an extraordinary terror.

“Wait,” the Nether Demon Ancestor spoke, his eyes filled with infinite fear, realizing that this person before him was no ordinary opponent, and even he might not be a match.

“Can’t wait,” Lin Fan smiled slightly, his finger pointing like ripples spreading out in circles.

The Nether Demon Ancestor’s eyes widened suddenly, his body trembling slightly as a sword intent directly penetrated from Lin Fan’s finger into his body.

No one knew what was happening.

Autumn Slash Fish and Golden Needle Mushroom looked at the scene in the void, filled with confusion.

They didn’t know what their big brother and the Nether Demon Ancestor were doing.

But the situation seemed somewhat bizarre.

Crack!

Suddenly, in the quiet void, a crisp sound rang out.

The sound was like shattering glass, clear and heart-wrenching.

“How is this possible? I, the Nether Demon Ancestor, who have dominated for a lifetime, how can I perish here?” The Nether Demon Ancestor was filled with resentment. He was a Golden Immortal, a powerhouse who roamed the heavens and earth, his cultivation earth-shattering.

He had come here after hearing Luo Li speak of a supreme immortal artifact.

But he never expected to perish here.

Lin Fan, with his hands behind his back, glanced at the Nether Demon Ancestor, then turned and walked over to Autumn Slash Fish and the others.

“Big brother, he…” Autumn Slash Fish nervously looked at the Nether Demon Ancestor in the void, unsure of what had happened.

Crack!

The face of the Nether Demon Ancestor suddenly cracked, then like fissures, it continued to split, piece by piece floating in the void.

And the body hidden beneath the clothes also began to crack, followed by thousands of soaring sword intents bursting forth, their light illuminating the heavens and earth.

The body of the Nether Demon Ancestor was like a ball of light about to explode, its radiance piercing, making it impossible to look directly at.

Boom!

With an explosion, the once fearsome Nether Demon Ancestor truly dissipated into thin air.

“Ding, congratulations on slaying the early-stage Golden Immortal, Nether Demon Ancestor.”

“Ding, experience increased…”

“Ding, obtained the supreme divine ability ‘Heavenly Nether Frost Art’.”

Lin Fan hadn’t expected to also acquire a divine ability, which he immediately took in hand.

This divine ability was not weak, but the Nether Demon Ancestor’s strength was lacking, having encountered Lin Fan, a freak. If it were someone else facing the Nether Demon Ancestor, they would likely have met their end.

Lin Fan mastered this divine ability, and within his body, another divine rune appeared.

With a flip of his palm, a surge of cold air erupted, capable of freezing even space, making it a formidable supreme divine ability.

“The Nether Demon Ancestor, just like that, is dead.” Feng Yanyun looked at the scene before her, so shocked she didn’t know what to say.

Lin Fan looked at Feng Yanyun and the elder beside her, somewhat puzzled, not knowing who these two were, and how Autumn Slash Fish and the others came to know them.

Autumn Slash Fish quickly explained to Lin Fan the events of the past few years.

After hearing this, Lin Fan was suddenly stunned, “Three years?”

“Yes, big brother, you’ve been unconscious for three years,” Autumn Slash Fish said.

“I curse that Future Infinite King Buddha, that bastard tricked me for three years.” Now that Lin Fan knew he had been unconscious for three years, his heart burned with rage.

Is this even human?

At first, he felt a bit of a gain after tricking and killing the divine consciousness of the Future Infinite King Buddha.

But now, knowing he had been unconscious for three years, Lin Fan almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Another three years wasted.

If these three years had been spent slaying powerful beings, how much stronger would his cultivation be now?

Perhaps he would have already reached the Heavenly Sovereign realm.

Regret, deep regret, even the urge to brutally kill the Future Infinite King Buddha.

He sighed, venting his frustration.

Enough! Enough!

Now that things have come to this, what more can he say.

“Thank you,” Feng Yanyun spoke. If she had seen Autumn Slash Fish and Golden Needle Mushroom before, she would have dared to keep them, but now, with Lin Fan, she had no such thoughts.

Because she knew that this person before her was not someone a small Maple Forest City could bind.

Lin Fan nodded, not saying much.

Seeing this person so indifferent towards her, Feng Yanyun felt a bit awkward but dared not show any dissatisfaction. Although she was the ruler of Maple Forest City, in the eyes of such a powerful being, she was merely an ant.

“What do you say, will you continue to roam with me, or stay in Maple Forest City?” Lin Fan asked.

“Of course, we’ll roam the world with big brother. Now that big brother has slain Luo Li, Maple Forest City will be safe in the future,” Autumn Slash Fish said with a smile.

“Yes, Maple Forest City now has the ability to protect itself. In these three years, we’ve established martial arts schools here. Although not everyone practices martial arts, we’ve produced quite a few capable students,” Golden Needle Mushroom said.

Lin Fan smiled, “I didn’t expect you two to accomplish so much in these three years. But rest assured, since this is your hometown, I won’t stand idly by.”

At that moment, Lin Fan flipped his palm, and the Primordial Seal Technique was instantly activated.

With a finger swipe, a sword intent merged into it.

The Primordial Seal Technique enveloped the entire Maple Forest City, and even incorporated a sword intent from Lin Fan himself, powerful enough to slay even a Golden Immortal.

“This place has been sealed by me. Even if enemies come in the future, there won’t be any major issues,” Lin Fan said.

“Thank you, big brother,” Autumn Slash Fish and Golden Needle Mushroom naturally felt the strength of the formation enveloping Maple Forest City.

Even they might not be able to withstand it.

Feng Yanyun was even more grateful, wishing she could offer herself, though Lin Fan would not be interested.

“Big brother, where are we going now?” Autumn Slash Fish asked.

Lin Fan hesitated for a moment, unsure of where to go.

“Let’s return to the sect first. It’s been three years, they might think I’m dead,” Lin Fan said.

Lin Fan’s current strength is far superior to what it was three years ago.

All of this is truly thanks to the Future Infinite King Buddha.

In the Three Lives Space-Time, Lin Fan and the Future Infinite King Buddha engaged in a fierce battle, unleashing countless divine abilities, which also allowed Lin Fan to cultivate his divine abilities to an extremely high level.

After finally suppressing the Future Infinite King Buddha, this divine consciousness also brought Lin Fan a wealth of experience.

With a single finger point, it contained the supreme essence of sword dao, leaving no room for evasion, even the surrounding space-time was sealed off.

The Five Elements Sword Intent is the 21st ranked supreme sword dao divine ability of the Heaven and Earth Sect, especially after Lin Fan fused it into a single sword intent, it became even more monstrous.

I’m afraid that even the top divine abilities of the Heaven and Earth Sect might not be its match.

“You…” The Nether Fiend Ancestor’s face showed panic, his entire mana seemed to be severed under the envelopment of this sword intent, actually entering a blank period.

His entire mana seemed to solidify, unable to operate.

At this moment, Autumn Slayer Fish and Golden Needle Mushroom instantly reclaimed the Heaven and Earth Net.

Ding!

A finger point on the Nether Fiend Ancestor’s forehead was terrifyingly abnormal for him, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

“Wait.” The Nether Fiend Ancestor spoke, his eyes revealing infinite terror, he realized that the guy in front of him was no ordinary strength, even he was not his match.

“Can’t wait.” Lin Fan’s lips curled into a smile, his finger point spread out like ripples in water, one circle after another.

The Nether Fiend Ancestor’s eyes suddenly widened, his body trembled slightly, a sword intent directly penetrated from Lin Fan’s finger into the Nether Fiend Ancestor’s body.

No one knew what had happened.

Autumn Slayer Fish and Golden Needle Mushroom looked at the situation in the void, filled with confusion.

He didn’t know what his big brother and the Nether Fiend Ancestor were doing.

But looking at the situation, it seemed a bit strange.

Crack!

Suddenly, in the quiet void, a crisp sound was heard.

The sound was like shattering glass, crisp and heart-trembling.

“How is it possible, I, the Nether Fiend Ancestor, who has dominated for a lifetime, how could I fall here.” The Nether Fiend Ancestor was unwilling in his heart, he was a Golden Immortal powerhouse, dominating heaven and earth, his cultivation was earth-shattering.

He came here after hearing Luo Li speak of a supreme immortal artifact here.

But he never expected to fall here.

Lin Fan’s hands were behind his back, he glanced at the Nether Fiend Ancestor, then turned directly and came to the side of Autumn Slayer Fish and the others.

“Big brother, he…” Autumn Slayer Fish nervously looked at the Nether Fiend Ancestor in the void, he didn’t know what had happened.

Crack!

The Nether Fiend Ancestor’s face suddenly cracked, then like cracks, it continuously split, piece by piece floating in the void.

And the body hidden under the clothes also began to crack, then ten thousand soaring sword intents directly burst out from the body, beams of light illuminating heaven and earth.

The Nether Fiend Ancestor’s body was like a ball about to explode, the light penetrating, making it unbearable to look directly.

Bang!

With an explosion, the ferocious Nether Fiend Ancestor truly dissipated into smoke.

“Ding, congratulations on slaying the early Golden Immortal Nether Fiend Ancestor.”

“Ding, experience increased…”

“Ding, obtained the supreme divine ability ‘Heavenly Nether Fiend Cold Skill’.”

Lin Fan didn’t expect to actually drop a divine ability, then directly took it in hand.

This divine ability was not weak, but the Nether Fiend Ancestor’s strength was not great, encountering Lin Fan this monster, if it were someone else facing the Nether Fiend Ancestor, they would probably only meet their end.

Lin Fan learned this divine ability, and the divine ability runes within his body increased by one.

With a flip of his palm, cold air surged, even space could be frozen, it was also a supreme divine ability that could be shown off.

“The Nether Fiend Ancestor, he actually died just like that.” Maple Beauty Cloud looked at the scene before her, so shocked she didn’t know what to say.

Lin Fan looked at Maple Beauty Cloud and the old man beside her, somewhat puzzled, not knowing who these two were, and how Autumn Slayer Fish and the others came to know them.

Autumn Slayer Fish immediately told Lin Fan about the events of the past few years.

After hearing this, Lin Fan was suddenly stunned, “Three years?”

“Yes, big brother, you’ve been unconscious for three years.” Autumn Slayer Fish said.

“I curse that Future Infinite King Buddha, that guy actually tricked me for three years.” Now that Lin Fan knew he had been unconscious for three years, his heart was burning with rage.

Is this even human?

At first, he felt a bit of a gain after tricking and killing that divine consciousness of the Future Infinite King Buddha.

But now that he knew he had been unconscious for three years, Lin Fan almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Another three years wasted.

If these three years had been spent slaying powerhouses, how strong would his cultivation be now?

Perhaps even that so-called Heavenly Monarch Realm would have been reached long ago.

Regret, deep regret, even the impulse to viciously kill the Future Infinite King Buddha.

He sighed, venting his dissatisfaction.

Forget it! Forget it!

Now that things have come to this, what more can he say.

“Thank you.” Maple Beauty Cloud spoke, if she had seen Autumn Slayer Fish and Golden Needle Mushroom before, she would have dared to keep them, but now with Lin Fan, she had no such thoughts.

Because she knew, the person in front of her was definitely not someone a small Maple Forest City could bind.

Lin Fan nodded, not saying much.

The person in front of him was so indifferent, Maple Beauty Cloud felt a bit awkward, but dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction, although she was the ruler of Maple Forest City, in the eyes of such a powerhouse, she was just an ant.

“What do you say, will you continue to wander with me, or stay in Maple Forest City?” Lin Fan asked.

“Definitely wander the world with big brother, now that big brother has slain Luo Li, Maple Forest City will be safe from now on.” Autumn Slayer Fish said with a smile.

“Yes, Maple Forest City now has the ability to protect itself, in these three years, we two have opened a martial arts school here, although not everyone practices martial arts, many capable students have emerged.” Golden Needle Mushroom said.

Lin Fan smiled, “I didn’t expect you two to accomplish so much in these three years, but rest assured, since this is your hometown, I won’t stand idly by.”

At this moment, Lin Fan’s palm flipped, the Origin Sealing Technique was instantly unleashed.

With a finger swipe, a sword intent was integrated into it.

The Origin Sealing Technique was unleashed, enveloping the entire Maple Forest City, then integrating a sword intent of Lin Fan himself, this sword intent could even slay a Golden Immortal powerhouse, it was sufficiently powerful.

“This place has been sealed by me, even if enemies are encountered in the future, there won’t be any major problems.” Lin Fan said.

“Thank you, big brother.” Autumn Slayer Fish and Golden Needle Mushroom naturally could feel how powerful the formation enveloping Maple Forest City was.

I’m afraid even they might not be able to withstand it.

Maple Beauty Cloud was even more grateful, wishing she could offer herself, but Lin Fan wouldn’t even glance at her.

“Big brother, where are we going now?” Autumn Slayer Fish asked.

Lin Fan was momentarily hesitant, where to go, he really wasn’t too sure.

“First, return to the sect, haven’t been back in three years, might have been considered dead.” Lin Fan said.

Lin Fan’s current strength is far superior to what it was three years ago.

All of this is truly thanks to the Future Infinite King Buddha.

In the realm of the Three Lives, Lin Fan and the Future Infinite King Buddha engaged in a fierce battle, unleashing countless divine abilities, which also allowed Lin Fan to cultivate his skills to an extremely high level.

After finally suppressing the Future Infinite King Buddha, the divine consciousness left behind also brought Lin Fan a wealth of experience.

With a single finger point, it contained the supreme essence of swordsmanship, leaving no room for escape, and even the surrounding space-time was sealed off.

The Five Elements Sword Intent is the 21st ranked supreme swordsmanship divine ability of the Heaven and Earth Sect, and after Lin Fan fused it into a single sword intent, it became even more formidable.

Even the top divine abilities of the Heaven and Earth Sect might not be a match for it.

“You…” The Nether Demon Ancestor’s face showed panic, as his entire mana seemed to be severed under the enveloping sword intent, creating a blank period.

His entire mana felt as if it had solidified, unable to circulate.

At that moment, Autumn Slash Fish and Golden Needle Mushroom instantly reclaimed the Heavenly Net.

Ding!

A finger pointed at the Nether Demon Ancestor’s forehead, which was terrifying for him, as beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

“Wait,” the Nether Demon Ancestor spoke, his eyes filled with infinite fear, realizing that the person before him was no ordinary opponent, and even he might not be a match.

“Can’t wait,” Lin Fan smiled slightly, his finger pointing like ripples spreading out in circles.

The Nether Demon Ancestor’s eyes widened suddenly, his body trembling slightly, as a sword intent directly penetrated from Lin Fan’s finger into his body.

No one knew what was happening.

Autumn Slash Fish and Golden Needle Mushroom looked at the scene in the void, filled with confusion.

He didn’t know what his big brother and the Nether Demon Ancestor were doing.

But the situation seemed a bit strange.

Crack!

Suddenly, in the quiet void, a crisp sound was heard.

The sound was like glass shattering, crisp and heart-wrenching.

“How is this possible? I, the Nether Demon Ancestor, who has dominated for a lifetime, how can I fall here?” The Nether Demon Ancestor was unwilling, he was a Golden Immortal powerhouse, dominating heaven and earth, his cultivation earth-shattering.

He came here after hearing Luo Li mention that there was a supreme immortal artifact here.

But he never expected to fall here.

Lin Fan, with his hands behind his back, glanced at the Nether Demon Ancestor, then turned and walked over to Autumn Slash Fish and the others.

“Big brother, he…” Autumn Slash Fish nervously looked at the Nether Demon Ancestor in the void, unsure of what had happened.

With an explosion, the fearsome Nether Demon Ancestor truly vanished into thin air.

“Ding, congratulations on slaying the early-stage Golden Immortal Nether Demon Ancestor.”

“Ding, experience increased…”

“Ding, obtained the supreme divine ability ‘Heavenly Nether Cold Skill’.”

Lin Fan hadn’t expected to also obtain a divine ability, which he then directly took in hand.

This divine ability was not weak, but the Nether Demon Ancestor’s strength was not up to par, encountering Lin Fan, a freak. If it were someone else facing the Nether Demon Ancestor, they would likely have met their end.

Lin Fan mastered this divine ability, and within his body, another divine ability rune appeared.

With a flip of his hand, cold air surged, capable of freezing even space, making it a respectable supreme divine ability.

“The Nether Demon Ancestor, he’s really dead,” Feng Yanyun looked at the scene before her, so shocked she didn’t know what to say.

Lin Fan looked at Feng Yanyun and the elder beside her, somewhat puzzled, not knowing who these two were, and how Autumn Slash Fish and the others knew them.

Autumn Slash Fish quickly explained the events of the past few years to Lin Fan.

After hearing this, Lin Fan was suddenly stunned, “Three years?”

“Yes, big brother, you’ve been unconscious for three years,” Autumn Slash Fish said.

“I curse that Future Infinite King Buddha, that guy actually tricked me for three years,” Lin Fan, now knowing he had been unconscious for three years, was burning with anger.

This is just inhuman.

At first, he felt a bit of a gain after tricking and killing the divine consciousness of the Future Infinite King Buddha.

But now, knowing he had been unconscious for three years, Lin Fan almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Another three years wasted.

If these three years had been spent slaying powerful beings, how strong would his cultivation be now?

Perhaps he would have already reached the Heavenly Lord realm.

Regret, deep regret, even an impulse to viciously kill the Future Infinite King Buddha.

He sighed, venting his dissatisfaction.

Enough! Enough!

Now that things have come to this, what more can he say.

“Thank you,” Feng Yanyun spoke up. If she had seen Autumn Slash Fish and Golden Needle Mushroom before, she would have dared to keep them, but now, with Lin Fan, she had no such thoughts.

Because she knew that the person before her was definitely not someone a small Maple Forest City could bind.

“Of course, we’ll wander the world with big brother. Now that big brother has slain Luo Li, Maple Forest City will be safe from now on,” Autumn Slash Fish said with a smile.

“Yes, Maple Forest City now has the ability to protect itself. In these three years, we’ve established a martial arts school here. Although not everyone practices martial arts, we’ve produced quite a few capable students,” Golden Needle Mushroom said.

Lin Fan smiled, “I didn’t expect you two to have done so much in these three years, but rest assured, since this is your hometown, I won’t stand idly by.”

At that moment, Lin Fan flipped his hand, and the Origin Sealing Technique was instantly unleashed.

With a finger swipe, a sword intent was integrated into it.

The Origin Sealing Technique enveloped the entire Maple Forest City, and then Lin Fan’s own sword intent was integrated into it. This sword intent was powerful enough to slay even a Golden Immortal powerhouse.

“I’ve set up a seal here, so even if you encounter enemies in the future, there won’t be any major problems,” Lin Fan said.

“Thank you, big brother,” Autumn Slash Fish and Golden Needle Mushroom naturally felt the strength of the formation enveloping Maple Forest City.

Even they might not be able to withstand it.

Feng Yanyun was even more grateful, wishing she could offer herself, but Lin Fan wouldn’t be interested.

“Big brother, where are we going now?” Autumn Slash Fish asked.

Lin Fan hesitated for a moment, unsure of where to go.

“Let’s return to the sect first. After three years of absence, I might have been considered dead,” Lin Fan said.

Lin Fan hadn’t expected to gain a divine art from the battle, but he immediately took it into his hands.

This divine art was not weak by any means. However, the Ghost-Sunder Ancestor himself had been rather mediocre. He had met Lin Fan, a true monster. Against anyone else, the Ghost-Sunder Ancestor would likely have been the one to end their life.

Lin Fan learned the technique instantly. Within his body, another divine rune appeared among his collection.

With a single palm strike, cold energy surged forth, capable of freezing even space itself. It was indeed a supreme divine art worth possessing.

“Ghost-Sunder Ancestor… actually died like this,” Feng Yan Yun stared at the scene before her, astonished beyond words.

Lin Fan looked at Feng Yan Yun and the old man beside her, puzzled. He had no idea who these two were or how Qiu Zhan Yu and the others had come to know them.

Qiu Zhan Yu quickly explained everything that had happened over the past few years.

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan’s expression changed abruptly. “Three years?”

“Yes, Big Brother. You’ve been unconscious for three whole years,” Qiu Zhan Yu said.

“Damn it! The Future Immeasurable Buddha! That bastard wasted three years of my life!” Upon realizing he had been unconscious for three years, Lin Fan’s fury burned hot.

Was that guy even human?

At first, he had felt like he had gained something by defeating the Future Immeasurable Buddha’s divine consciousness.

But now, knowing that he had lost three entire years, Lin Fan nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Another three years wasted.

If those years had been spent defeating powerful foes, how formidable would his current cultivation be?

Perhaps he would have already reached the Heaven Sovereign realm by now.

Regret surged within him. He even felt the urge to hunt down and utterly destroy the Future Immeasurable Buddha.

With a sigh, he tried to vent his frustration.

Well then! Well then!

There was nothing he could do about it now. What else was there to say?

“Thank you,” Feng Yan Yun spoke up. Previously, if she had seen Qiu Zhan Yu and Golden Mushroom, she would have dared to detain them. But now, facing Lin Fan, she had no such thoughts.

Because she knew that this man was definitely not someone who could be bound by a small city like Feng Lin.

Lin Fan nodded slightly but said nothing more.

Seeing how cold she had been toward him, Feng Yan Yun felt a sense of embarrassment but dared not show even a hint of displeasure. Though she was the ruler of Feng Lin City, to someone of this level, she was no more than an ant.

“You guys, what do you plan to do? Will you continue traveling with me, or stay here in Feng Lin City?” Lin Fan asked.

“Of course we’ll follow Big Brother and explore the world. Now that you’ve killed Luo Li, Feng Lin City should be safe,” Qiu Zhan Yu smiled.

“That’s right. Feng Lin City now has the ability to defend itself. During these three years, we’ve established a martial arts academy here. While not everyone practices martial arts yet, many capable students have emerged,” Golden Mushroom added.

Lin Fan chuckled. “I didn’t expect you two to accomplish so much in just three years. But don’t worry, since this is your hometown, I won’t stand idly by.”

At that moment, Lin Fan flipped his palm and instantly activated the Primordial Sealing Art.

With a flick of his finger, a strand of sword intent merged into the seal.

The Primordial Sealing Art spread out, enveloping the entire Feng Lin City, further infused with a strand of Lin Fan’s sword intent. This sword intent alone was powerful enough to kill even a Golden Immortal expert.

“This place is now sealed by me. Even if enemies come in the future, there won’t be any major problems,” Lin Fan said.

“Thank you, Big Brother,” Qiu Zhan Yu and Golden Mushroom could clearly sense the immense power of the formation covering Feng Lin City.

It was likely something even they themselves wouldn’t be able to resist.

Feng Yan Yun was overwhelmed with gratitude, almost to the point of offering herself, though Lin Fan would never consider such a thing.

“Big Brother, where are we going now?” Qiu Zhan Yu asked.

Lin Fan hesitated for a moment, unsure of where to go next.

“Let’s return to the sect first. I haven’t been back in three years. They might have already assumed I was dead,” Lin Fan replied.
