Inside the grand hall.
“Are you really going out for cultivation training?” Elder Yan, the Sect Leader, was genuinely reluctant. This young man had inherited the Eternal Axe from the Ancestor. If he were to be killed by someone out there, it would be a tragedy.
However, seeing Lin Fan’s excited expression, Elder Yan knew there was no changing his mind.
“No, Sect Leader, I’ve stayed in the Sect long enough. My current cultivation has hit a bottleneck, and I need a chance to break through,” Lin Fan replied.
After all, he was meant to wander the vast world. How could he stay cooped up in the Sect forever? Besides, his current strength hadn’t reached the peak yet. Although life in the Sect was rich and fulfilling, he still felt uneasy.
If one day the calamity that befell the Holy Demon Sect were to strike their Sect, he would regret it forever.
In the past, he hadn’t taken his cultivation seriously, just enjoying himself day by day. Now, for Lin Fan, it was essential to improve his cultivation while still enjoying life.
Elder Yan knew he couldn’t persuade him anymore and finally agreed reluctantly.
“You can go for training, but you must wait until tomorrow before leaving.” The Sect Leader planned to discuss with the senior elders afterward. Lin Fan was now a treasure of the Sect, and his safety had to be ensured at all costs.
Lin Fan glanced at Elder Yan and finally nodded. “Alright, then I will leave tomorrow.”
After chatting a bit more with the Sect Leader, Lin Fan shouldered his axe and headed toward Wuming Peak.
Having obtained the divine Eternal Axe, Lin Fan didn’t want to be too low-key. If there was a chance to show off, he had to take it. He couldn’t hide it forever, after all.
As Lin Fan walked through the Sect, disciples who passed by looked at him curiously.
“Senior Master, that axe looks so powerful,” one disciple exclaimed in awe.
Lin Fan smiled slightly. “It’s okay, I received it from the Sect Leader’s inheritance.”
“What?” The surrounding disciples were stunned. The Sect Leader’s inheritance? Did that mean the Sect Leader had already chosen a successor?
But soon they became puzzled. Since when had the Sect’s inheritance ever involved weapons? Could the Senior Master be lying?
“Senior Master, can we touch it?” The disciples, eyeing the massive axe on Lin Fan’s shoulder, became curious.
Although the axe looked ordinary, the glowing patterns on its surface clearly indicated it was no ordinary weapon.
“No way. This axe only recognizes me. Even the Sect Leader tried to touch it and was repelled. For your own safety, better not to touch it.” Seeing the envious looks on the younger disciples’ faces, Lin Fan couldn’t help but feel delighted. This was the taste of life!
“Woah…”
The surrounding disciples gasped in amazement. “Only Senior Master Lin could possess such a treasure.”
“Yeah, last time in the Outstanding Prodigy Contest, Senior Master Lin took first place. Now he has such a divine weapon. Truly a blessing for our Sect!”
Hearing the younger disciples’ praise, Lin Fan’s heart soared.
“I don’t believe it…” Just then, a figure suddenly stepped forward from the crowd and reached toward the massive axe on Lin Fan’s shoulder.
Lin Fan looked at the person, slightly puzzled. Who was this guy, and why was he so bold?
Bang!
The moment Lu Yan touched the axe, a brilliant light flashed from it, sending him flying backward.
The surrounding disciples watched in astonishment.
“Who is that guy? Senior Master already said not to touch it, yet he still tried.”
“Who knows? Senior Master Lin has never lied to us. He should’ve known better and saved himself the trouble.”
“Maybe he wanted to impress Senior Master Lin. But Senior Master treats everyone equally. Such a petty trick won’t work on him.”
Lu Yan, pushed back helplessly by the unstoppable light, stood up from the ground. In his calm eyes flickered a hint of hatred.
In the grand hall.
“Are you really going out to train?” Sect Master Yan was genuinely reluctant to let him go. This kid had inherited the Eternal Axe from the ancestor. If he were to be killed outside, it would be a tragedy.
But seeing the excitement on Lin Fan’s face, Sect Master Yan knew it was impossible to refuse.
“No, Sect Master, I’ve been in the sect long enough. My cultivation has reached a bottleneck, and I need a breakthrough opportunity,” Lin Fan said.
He was a man who roamed the vast world; how could he stay in the sect forever? Moreover, his current strength wasn’t at the top yet. Although his life was still rich, he felt uneasy.
If the tragedy of the Holy Demon Sect were to happen to the Holy Sect one day, he would truly regret it.
In the past, he didn’t take cultivation seriously, just playing around every day. But now, Lin Fan knew he had to improve his cultivation even while enjoying life.
Sect Master Yan knew he couldn’t persuade him and finally agreed reluctantly.
“You can go out to train, but you must wait until tomorrow to leave.” Sect Master Yan planned to discuss this with the Grand Elder. Lin Fan was the treasure of the sect, and no matter what, his safety had to be ensured.
Lin Fan glanced at Sect Master Yan and finally nodded, “Alright, I’ll leave the sect tomorrow.”
After chatting with the sect master for a while, Lin Fan shouldered his axe and headed towards Nameless Peak.
Having obtained the divine weapon, the Eternal Axe, Lin Fan didn’t want to be too low-key. When it was time to show off, he had to show off. He couldn’t hide it forever.
As Lin Fan walked through the sect, passing disciples looked at him curiously.
“Uncle Master, that axe looks so mighty,” a disciple exclaimed in amazement.
Lin Fan smiled slightly, “It’s just average. I got it from the sect master’s inheritance.”
“What?” The surrounding disciples were stunned. The sect master’s inheritance? Could it be that the sect master had already chosen the next successor?
But then they were puzzled. When had there ever been a weapon inheritance? Could Uncle Master be lying?
“Uncle Master, can we touch it?” The disciples looked at the giant axe on Lin Fan’s shoulder with curiosity.
Although the axe seemed ordinary, the shimmering light on it clearly showed it was no ordinary weapon.
“No, this axe only recognizes me. Even the sect master was repelled when he tried to touch it. For your safety, better not touch it.” Seeing the envious looks in the eyes of these junior disciples, Lin Fan felt quite pleased. This was what made life interesting.
“Wow…”
The surrounding disciples exclaimed in awe, “Such a treasure can only be owned by Uncle Master Lin.”
“Yes, last time in the Strongest Genius Battle, Uncle Master Lin won first place. Now he has such a divine weapon. It’s truly a blessing for our sect.”
Listening to the praises from his junior disciples, Lin Fan’s heart soared.
“I don’t believe it…” At that moment, a figure suddenly emerged from the crowd, reaching out towards the giant axe on Lin Fan’s shoulder.
Lin Fan looked at the person, slightly puzzled. Who was this guy, acting so recklessly?
“Bang…”
As Lu Yan touched the axe, a flash of light from the axe repelled him.
The surrounding disciples exclaimed in amazement.
“Who is this guy? Uncle Master said not to touch it, yet he still tried.”
“Who knows? Uncle Master Lin never lies. This guy didn’t believe him and got what he deserved.”
“Maybe he wanted to leave an impression on Uncle Master Lin. But Uncle Master treats us all equally. Such tricks are useless in front of him.”
Lu Yan, repelled by the irresistible light, got up from the ground. His calm eyes flickered with a trace of resentment.
Lu Yan was the guy Lin Fan had overlooked when selecting weeders from the servant disciples months ago. Now, after months, Lu Yan had broken through from the Houtian realm to the Xiantian realm with the help of a mysterious Buddhist bead, becoming an outer sect disciple.
“Junior, are you alright?” Lin Fan asked.
Lu Yan glanced at Lin Fan and then left.
“This guy…” Lin Fan shook his head helplessly. This disciple didn’t seem like a good person. Anyone who couldn’t get along with him surely wasn’t a good person.
“This guy is too arrogant.”
“Who is he? Do you know him? How could he be so disrespectful to Uncle Master Lin?”
“He seems to be an outer sect disciple promoted from the servant disciples last month. His name is something like Yan.”
…
Lin Fan didn’t want to think too much about it. He waved his hand, “Alright, everyone, disperse. I’ll be leaving the sect tomorrow for training. When I return, I’ll bring you some fun stuff.”
“Thank you, Uncle Master.”
The disciples were delighted and respectfully saw Lin Fan off.
When he returned to Nameless Peak, Lin Fan immediately put the giant axe into his backpack and began rummaging through his belongings.
“Hehe, thinking I’ll leave tomorrow? Impossible. I can see through such delaying tactics at a glance.” Lin Fan had already realized that the sect master wasn’t planning to let him leave.
At first, Lin Fan might have believed the sect master would let him go, but after obtaining the Eternal Axe, he knew they wouldn’t let him leave.
After all, they wanted to ensure his safety, but staying in the sect all the time was boring. How could he not go out and see the world?
Thinking back to the last time he followed the sect to the Misty Snow Peak, his cultivation had skyrocketed. It was like a rapid ascent, without any chance to prepare.
Therefore, anyone who tried to stop him from leaving would have to face his wrath.
But considering the strength of the sect master and the others, Lin Fan had no hope.
At this moment, Lin Fan opened a chest, packed some clothes and daily necessities, and then immediately headed to the Alchemy Peak.
When traveling outside, it was essential to be well-prepared.
Lin Fan was now a celebrity at the Alchemy Peak, so no one stopped him. He swept through, collecting many herbs he saw. After gathering enough herbs, he returned to Nameless Peak.
Lin Fan called over Cai Zhiqiao, Zhang Er Gou, and others, instructing them to take good care of the peak while he was away.
Cai Zhiqiao was naturally reluctant to see Lin Fan leave, but thinking that her teacher promised to bring her something upon his return, she happily nodded.
“Alright, I’ll be off now. All of you, cultivate well and take good care of your junior sister.” Lin Fan waved at them and descended Nameless Peak. When he reached the mountainside, he instantly entered a state of invisibility and ran towards the sect gate.
“Junior, are you okay?” Lin Fan asked.
Lu Yan looked at Lin Fan and then left.
“This guy…” Lin Fan helplessly shook his head. This disciple clearly wasn’t a good person. Anyone who couldn’t get along with him must be no good.
“How arrogant!”
“Who is he? Do you know him? He was so disrespectful to Senior Master Lin.”
“He seems to be an outer sect disciple who was promoted from the servant disciples last month. His name is something with ‘Yan.'”
…
Lin Fan didn’t dwell on it. He waved his hand. “Alright, you all can disperse now. This Senior Master will be leaving the Sect tomorrow for cultivation training. When I return, I’ll bring you all something fun.”
“Thank you, Senior Master.”
The disciples were delighted and respectfully sent Lin Fan off.
After returning to Wuming Peak, Lin Fan immediately put the massive axe into his bag and began rummaging through his belongings.
“Hehe, making me wait until tomorrow to leave? Absolutely impossible. Such a delaying tactic can’t fool me for a second,” Lin Fan had already seen through the Sect Leader’s intentions.
Initially, Lin Fan might have believed the Sect Leader would let him go, but after obtaining the Eternal Axe, there was no way the Sect would allow him to leave.
After all, they were just trying to ensure his safety. However, staying in the Sect all the time was extremely boring. If he didn’t go out and see the world, how could he progress?
Just like last time, when he went with the Sect to Piaomiao Snow Peak, his cultivation had risen rapidly, almost too fast to keep up.
Therefore, anyone who tried to stop him from going out would have to face his resistance.
However, considering the strength of the Sect Leader and others, Lin Fan had no hope at all.
At this moment, Lin Fan opened his trunk, packed a few clothes and daily necessities, and immediately rushed toward Danding Peak.
When going out, one must be well-prepared.
Lin Fan was now a celebrity at Danding Peak, so no one stopped him as he entered and exited. He swept through the area, collecting quite a few medicinal herbs. When he had gathered enough, he returned to Wuming Peak.
Lin Fan called over Cai Zhiqiao, Zhang Erdou, and others, informing them he would be going out for some training and telling them to take good care of the mountain.
Hearing that Lin Fan was leaving, Cai Zhiqiao naturally felt reluctant. However, thinking about the teacher saying he would bring her something when he returned, she finally nodded happily.
“Alright, I’m off first. All of you must cultivate diligently and take good care of the little junior apprentice,” Lin Fan waved at them and then went down Wuming Peak. When he reached halfway down the mountain, Lin Fan instantly activated his invisibility state and ran toward the mountain gate.
