The ancient clan’s army was annihilated, with no survivors. The moment Lin Fan’s celestial realm dissipated, the will of the Ancient Saint World had already sensed it.
Fury, boundless fury.
All beings in the Ancient Saint World noticed thunder flashing in the void, as if the world was ending.
They didn’t know what had happened, as such a situation had never occurred before.
The eight supreme beings of the ancient clan sat leisurely on their thrones, smiling faintly at the message conveyed by the will of the Ancient Saint World.
For the other seven supremes, this had nothing to do with them.
However, for the supreme of the ancient clan in Lin Fan’s region, it was a burning rage.
Even the deaths of Despair Marquis and Mighty King had not enraged him so much.
But now, the situation was different. The ancient clan’s army, boasting a million soldiers, ten commanders, and countless captains, had all perished in the Water-Fire Secret Realm. How could this not infuriate the supreme of the ancient clan?
The supreme’s wrath made all the kings tremble.
Though they held high status, they knew that in the eyes of the supreme, they were but ants.
If one of them died, the supreme could create more kings.
The newly appointed Mighty King, enjoying boundless power, now trembled and prostrated on the ground, his once domineering head buried deep, not daring to look up.
The void trembled, and a whip appeared, lashing at the Mighty King.
Each strike caused the void to explode, and the Mighty King’s spirit seemed to dissipate.
“Find this human and bring his head to me,” the supreme roared after hundreds of lashes, shaking the Mighty King’s palace to near collapse. The Mighty King trembled in fear and nodded hastily.
“As you command, Supreme. I will find this human.”
When the void calmed, the Mighty King stood up, his fearful expression turning grim.
“Find him. If you fail, you will all die,” the Mighty King raged. He hadn’t expected a human to annihilate the ancient clan’s army, an immense disgrace to the clan. If not avenged, they would be mocked by the world.
“Yes, King,” countless ancient clan members prostrated, trembling as they nodded.
…
“Yun Sect is just ahead,” Elder Yun He pointed to a void in the distance as a group flew through the depths of the void.
Lin Fan looked ahead. Though it seemed empty, he knew the Yun Sect must be deeply hidden.
Otherwise, if it were easily discovered, the ancient clan would have attacked long ago.
As they approached, Elder Yun He clapped his hands, and mana surged, causing the void ahead to split open.
“All sects in the Ancient Saint World are deeply hidden, but many have been discovered and annihilated by the ancient clan,” Elder Yun He said, leading Lin Fan and the others through the rift.
In an instant, the scenery changed.
No longer empty, it was now a picturesque landscape with clear waters, lush mountains, and the fragrance of flowers—a true paradise.
Lin Fan looked up, realizing this was not within the Ancient Saint World but a separate dimension.
Lin Fan marveled at the thought of which great being could have the power to create such a dimension.
Elder Yun He, noticing Lin Fan’s curiosity, proudly explained, “This celestial realm was created by the founding ancestor of Yun Sect with immense power, attached to the Ancient Saint World. Without Yun Sect’s unique mana, no outsider can enter.”
“A celestial realm?” Lin Fan was stunned. Could it be that Yun Sect existed within the celestial realm of a great being?
If that great being died, would the celestial realm collapse?
But Lin Fan thought this unlikely. However, he didn’t ask further, as Elder Yun He didn’t elaborate.
Magnificent golden buildings floated in the void, connected by pathways.
At that moment, a beam of light flashed from afar and appeared before Lin Fan in an instant.
“Who goes there?” A young man, at the mid-stage of the Azure Sky Realm, appeared before Lin Fan. Seeing Elder Yun He and the others, he smiled with relief. “Elder Yun He, you’ve returned. I’ll notify the sect immediately.”
The young man took out a green flute, blew it, and then put it away.
“Elder Yun He, was your journey to the Water-Fire Secret Realm successful?” the young man asked curiously.
Those of their strength rarely had the chance to venture out unless led by an elder or reaching the Divine Sky Realm. Otherwise, they could only cultivate within the celestial realm.
“Nine deaths and one life,” Elder Yun He replied.
The young man’s expression changed. Looking around, he saw only half of those who had left had returned, his face darkening.
He knew his fellow disciples must have perished.
“Lin Fan, let’s head to the main hall,” Elder Yun He said.
“Alright,” Lin Fan nodded.
As Lin Fan and Elder Yun He left, the young man who had greeted them looked curiously at Lin Fan’s departing figure.
“Senior sister, who is that?” the young man asked.
“A human prodigy. If not for him, we might have all died at the hands of the ancient clan.”
“Indeed, junior brother. If you had seen his power, you would have been terrified.”
…
The young man listened to his seniors’ accounts, his mouth agape, eyes shining with admiration.
Meanwhile, Fang Weifeng was seething with resentment. Breaking free from Wei Tian, he flew off alone.
Wei Tian watched Fang Weifeng’s departure, frowning slightly before relaxing.
“Senior brother is furious, but I hope he doesn’t seek death,” Wei Tian thought. He was already convinced, no longer daring to oppose Lin Fan.
In his eyes, Lin Fan was inhuman, incredibly powerful.
Even the top disciple, Liu Hen, couldn’t compare to this human’s monstrous strength.
In the main hall.
Lin Fan stood face to face with a man.
This middle-aged man, dressed in white like a frail scholar, exuded an ethereal yet authoritative aura.
Yet, this man was the Yun Sect’s sect master, who had endured 188 spiritual storms during his celestial tribulation.
In Lin Fan’s eyes, the Yun Sect master’s cultivation surpassed even the Mighty King’s.
At the eighth level of the Divine Sky Realm, the Earth Spirit Pill stage.
“Truly a human prodigy. Your strength is astonishing. Thank you for saving my disciples,” the Yun Sect master said, his eyes seemingly piercing through everything, as he clasped his hands in gratitude.
“Sect Master Yun, you’re too kind. Elder Yun He and the others gave me the artifacts from the Water-Fire Secret Realm to help me through my tribulation. I hope you won’t blame them,” Lin Fan said.
“Elder Yun He did the right thing. A few artifacts are a small price to pay for saving a human prodigy. If it were within Yun Sect, we would spare no effort, even at the cost of the entire sect,” the Yun Sect master said.
Lin Fan, hearing the sincerity in the Yun Sect master’s words, felt a deep respect.
Coming to a good sect like this, resting here for a while wasn’t a problem.
“Alas, I didn’t expect the ancient clan to discover us. I need to investigate this matter. Elder Yun He, arrange accommodations. Once I’ve figured this out, I’ll receive you properly.”
“Yes, Sect Master.”
…
Fury—an endless, boundless fury.
All living beings in the Gu Sheng Realm noticed thunder flashing across the void, as if it were the end of the world.
They didn’t know what had happened, for such a situation had never occurred before.
The eight supreme beings of the ancient clan sat calmly on their thrones, and upon receiving the message from the will of the Gu Sheng Realm, merely smiled indifferently.
For the other seven supreme beings, this matter had nothing to do with them.
However, the supreme being of the ancient clan from Lin Fan’s region was furious.
Even the deaths of Despair Marquis and Wei King had never enraged him so greatly.
But now, the situation was different—the ancient clan’s army, said to number a million strong, with ten commanders and countless captains, had all perished in the Water-Fire Secret Realm. How could this not provoke the supreme being’s wrath?
When the supreme being raged, all the kings trembled with fear.
Though they held high status, they knew they were but ants in the eyes of the supreme being.
If one died, the supreme being could create many more.
The newly appointed Wei King, enjoying his boundless power, now knelt on the ground trembling, his head buried deeply into the earth, too afraid to lift it.
The void trembled, and a whip appeared, lashing toward the Wei King.
Each strike caused the void to explode, and the Wei King’s soul nearly scattered, as if it might vanish entirely.
“Find this human for me. Bring me his head!”
After hundreds of lashes, the supreme being roared furiously, shaking the Wei King’s palace so violently it nearly shattered. The Wei King trembled in terror, hastily nodding.
“Yes, Supreme One. I will certainly find this human.”
When the void calmed, the Wei King stood up, his fearful expression shifting to one of deep gloom.
“Find him! If you fail to locate this human, you will all die,” the Wei King growled. He hadn’t expected a mere human to destroy the entire ancient clan’s army. To the ancient clan, this was an unforgivable humiliation. If it were not avenged, the world would mock them endlessly.
“Yes, my lord!” Countless ancient clan members knelt, trembling as they nodded.
…
“This is where Yun Sect should be,” said Elder Yunhe, pointing toward the empty void ahead as a group flew through the air.
Lin Fan looked forward. Though the space ahead appeared empty, he knew Yun Sect must be deeply hidden.
Otherwise, the ancient clan would have already attacked long ago.
As they drew closer, Elder Yunhe struck his palm forward, releasing his spiritual power. The void ahead split open.
“In the Gu Sheng Realm, all sects are deeply hidden. However, many sects were discovered by the ancient clan and subsequently destroyed,” Elder Yunhe explained, leading Lin Fan and the others into the rift.
In an instant, the scenery before them changed.
It was no longer empty, but a lush paradise filled with blooming flowers, singing birds, and flowing streams—a true celestial paradise.
Lin Fan looked up. This place didn’t seem to be within the Gu Sheng Realm, but rather a separate dimension.
He marveled inwardly—what a mighty cultivator must have created such a space.
As if sensing Lin Fan’s confusion, Elder Yunhe proudly explained.
The ancient clan’s army was annihilated, with no survivors. The moment Lin Fan’s cave heaven dissipated, the will of the Ancient Saint Realm had already sensed it.
Fury, boundless fury.
All living beings in the Ancient Saint Realm noticed thunder flashing in the void, as if the world was ending.
They didn’t know what had happened, for such a situation had never occurred before.
The eight supreme beings of the ancient clan sat leisurely on their thrones, and upon receiving the message from the will of the Ancient Saint Realm, they merely smiled faintly.
For the other seven supreme beings, this had nothing to do with them.
However, for the supreme being of the ancient clan in Lin Fan’s region, it was a different story—he was seething with rage.
Even the deaths of Despair Marquis and Mighty King had not enraged him so much.
But now, the situation was different. The ancient clan’s army, boasting a million soldiers, ten commanders, and countless captains, had all perished in the Water-Fire Secret Realm. How could this not infuriate the supreme being of the ancient clan?
When a supreme being is enraged, all kings tremble in fear.
Though they held lofty positions, they knew that in the eyes of the supreme being, they were nothing but ants.
If one of them died, the supreme being could easily create more kings.
The newly appointed Mighty King, who had been enjoying immense power, now trembled as he prostrated on the ground, his once-dominant head buried deep in the earth, not daring to look up.
The void trembled, and a whip appeared, lashing out at the Mighty King.
Each strike caused the void to explode, and the Mighty King’s soul seemed to disintegrate, as if it could dissipate at any moment.
“Find this human and bring his head to me,” the supreme being roared after hundreds of lashes, shaking the Mighty King’s palace to the brink of collapse. The Mighty King, trembling in fear, quickly nodded.
“As you command, Supreme One. I will find this human.”
When the void calmed, the Mighty King stood up, his fearful expression shifting to one of gloom.
“Find him. If you fail, all of you will die,” the Mighty King fumed. He couldn’t believe that a single human had annihilated the ancient clan’s army. For the ancient clan, this was an immense disgrace. If it wasn’t avenged, they would be mocked by the world.
“Yes, Your Majesty,” countless members of the ancient clan prostrated on the ground, trembling as they nodded.
…
“Up ahead is the Cloud Sect,” Elder Yunhe pointed to a patch of void in the distance as a group of people flew through the depths of the void.
Lin Fan looked up. Though the area ahead seemed empty, he knew the Cloud Sect must be deeply hidden.
Otherwise, if it were so easily discovered, the ancient clan would have attacked long ago.
As they drew closer, Elder Yunhe clapped his hands, and a surge of mana caused the void ahead to split open.
“In the Ancient Saint Realm, all sects are deeply hidden. However, many sects have been discovered by the ancient clan and subsequently annihilated,” Elder Yunhe explained before leading Lin Fan and the others through the rift.
In an instant, the scenery before them changed.
No longer was it an empty void, but a picturesque landscape of mountains, clear waters, and the fragrance of flowers—a true paradise on earth.
Lin Fan looked up, realizing that this place was not within the Ancient Saint Realm but rather in a separate dimension.
Lin Fan marveled inwardly, wondering which great being possessed the power to create such a dimension.
Elder Yunhe, noticing Lin Fan’s curiosity, proudly explained, “This is the cave heaven created by the founding ancestor of the Cloud Sect, attached to the Ancient Saint Realm. Without the unique mana of the Cloud Sect, outsiders cannot enter.”
“A cave heaven?” Lin Fan was stunned. Could it be that the Cloud Sect existed within the cave heaven of some great being?
If that great being were to die, would this cave heaven collapse as well?
However, Lin Fan thought this was unlikely. But since Elder Yunhe didn’t elaborate, Lin Fan didn’t press further.
Magnificent golden buildings floated in the void, connected by pathways.
At that moment, a beam of light flashed from the distance and appeared before Lin Fan in an instant.
“Who goes there?” A young man, at the mid-stage of the Azure Heaven Realm, appeared before Lin Fan. Upon seeing Elder Yunhe and the others, his face lit up with joy. “Elder Yunhe, you’ve returned. I’ll notify the sect immediately.”
The young man took out a jade-green flute, blew into it, and then put it away.
“Elder Yunhe, was your journey to the Water-Fire Secret Realm successful?” the young man asked curiously.
Those of their strength rarely had the opportunity to leave the sect unless accompanied by an elder or if they reached the Divine Heaven Realm. Otherwise, they could only cultivate within this cave heaven.
“It was a near-death experience,” Elder Yunhe replied.
The young man’s expression changed, and he looked around, noticing that only half of the group had returned. His face darkened.
He knew that many of his fellow disciples must have perished.
“Lin Fan, let’s head to the main hall,” Elder Yunhe said.
“Alright,” Lin Fan nodded.
After Lin Fan and Elder Yunhe left, the young man who had greeted them looked curiously at Lin Fan’s retreating figure.
“Senior Sister, who is that?” the young man asked.
“A human prodigy. If it weren’t for him, we might have all died at the hands of the ancient clan.”
“That’s right, Junior Brother. If you had seen his power, you would have been terrified.”
…
As the young man listened to his seniors’ accounts, his mouth hung open in awe, and his eyes sparkled with admiration.
However, Fang Weifeng was seething with resentment. He broke free from Wei Tian and flew off alone.
Wei Tian watched Fang Weifeng’s departure, his brow furrowed, but then he relaxed.
“Senior Brother is consumed by rage, but I hope he doesn’t do anything foolish,” Wei Tian thought. He had already accepted that he couldn’t oppose Lin Fan.
In his eyes, Lin Fan was no ordinary human—he was simply too powerful.
Even their senior brother, Liu Hen, probably couldn’t match this human’s monstrous strength.
In the main hall.
Lin Fan locked eyes with a man.
This middle-aged man, dressed in white robes, appeared as a frail scholar, his aura ethereal and elusive, yet he exuded an air of authority.
Yet, this man was the Cloud Sect’s sect master, who had endured 188 spiritual storms during his cave heaven tribulation.
In Lin Fan’s eyes, the Cloud Sect master’s cultivation was even stronger than that of the Mighty King.
At the eighth level of the Divine Heaven Realm, the Earthly Divine Pill stage.
“Truly a human prodigy. Your strength is astonishing. Thank you for saving my disciples,” the Cloud Sect master said, his eyes seemingly able to see through everything. He clasped his hands in gratitude.
“Sect Master, you’re too kind. Elder Yunhe and the others gave me the artifacts they obtained from the Water-Fire Secret Realm to help me through my tribulation. I hope you won’t blame them,” Lin Fan said.
“Elder Yunhe did the right thing. A few artifacts are a small price to pay to save a human prodigy. If it were within the Cloud Sect, we would spare no effort, even if it meant mobilizing the entire sect,” the Cloud Sect master replied.
Lin Fan observed the sincerity in the Cloud Sect master’s words and felt a deep sense of respect.
He had found a good sect. Resting here for a while wouldn’t be a problem.
“Alas, I didn’t expect the ancient clan to discover us. I need to investigate this matter. Elder Yunhe, arrange accommodations for them. Once I’ve figured this out, I’ll receive them properly.”
“Yes, Sect Master.”

“Find this human and bring his head to me,” the supreme being roared after hundreds of lashes, shaking the Mighty King’s palace to the brink of collapse. The Mighty King, trembling in fear, hastily nodded.
“As you command, Supreme Being. Your subordinate will definitely find this human.”
When the void calmed, the Mighty King stood up, his fearful expression turning dark and sinister.
“Find him. If you fail to locate this human, you will all die,” the Mighty King bellowed. He couldn’t believe that a single human had annihilated the ancient clan’s army. For the ancient clan, this was an immense disgrace. If not avenged, they would be ridiculed by the world.
“Yes, Mighty King,” countless members of the ancient clan prostrated, trembling as they nodded.
…
“Yun Sect is just ahead,” Elder Yun He pointed to a stretch of void in the distance as a group of people flew through the depths of the void.
Lin Fan looked up. Though the area ahead seemed empty, he knew that Yun Sect must be deeply hidden.
Otherwise, if it were so easily discovered, the ancient clan would have attacked long ago.
As they approached, Elder Yun He clapped his hands, and his mana surged, causing the void ahead to split open.

Lin Fan looked up, realizing that this was not within the Ancient Saint World but in a separate dimension.
Lin Fan marveled inwardly, wondering which great being had the power to create such a dimension.

Those of their strength rarely had the opportunity to venture out unless led by an elder or if they reached the Divine Sky Realm. Otherwise, they could only cultivate within this cave heaven.
“It was a close call,” Elder Yun He replied.
The young man’s expression changed, and when he looked around, he noticed that only half of those who had left had returned. His face darkened.
He knew that those senior brothers and sisters had likely perished.
“Lin Fan, let’s head to the main hall,” Elder Yun He said.
“Alright,” Lin Fan nodded.
As Lin Fan and Elder Yun He left, the young man who had come to greet them looked curiously at Lin Fan’s retreating figure.
“Senior Sister, who is that?” the young man asked.

In an instant, the scenery before them changed.
No longer was it empty, but instead, a picturesque landscape of mountains, clear waters, birdsong, and fragrant flowers—a veritable paradise on earth.
Lin Fan looked up, realizing that this was not within the Ancient Saint World but rather a separate dimension.
Lin Fan marveled inwardly, wondering which great being had the power to create such a dimension.

Golden, resplendent houses floated in the void, connected by pathways.
At that moment, a beam of light suddenly flashed from the distance and appeared before Lin Fan in an instant.
“Who goes there?” The person who appeared before Lin Fan was a young man with a cultivation level at the mid-stage of the Azure Sky Realm. Upon seeing Elder Yunhe and the others, his face lit up with joy. “Elder Yunhe, you’ve returned. I will inform the sect immediately.”
The young man took out a jade-green flute, blew into it, and then put it away.
“Elder Yunhe, was your journey to the Water-Fire Secret Realm successful?” the young man asked curiously.
Those of their strength rarely had the opportunity to leave the sect unless accompanied by an elder or if they reached the Divine Sky Realm. Otherwise, they could only cultivate within this celestial realm.
“It was a narrow escape,” Elder Yunhe replied.
The young man’s expression changed, and he looked around, noticing that only half of those who had left had returned. His face darkened.
He knew that those fellow disciples had likely perished.
“Lin Fan, let’s head to the main hall,” Elder Yunhe said.

In his eyes, this human Lin Fan was simply inhuman—he was too powerful.

“Yes, Sect Master.”
…
In Lin Fan’s mind, that seemed almost impossible. But he didn’t ask further—since Elder Yunhe hadn’t explained more, he decided not to press the matter.
Golden palaces floated in the void, connected by bridges.
Suddenly, a beam of light shot from the distance and in an instant appeared before Lin Fan.
“Who goes there?” A young man stood before Lin Fan, his cultivation at the middle stage of Qing Tian. Upon seeing Elder Yunhe and the others, his face lit up with joy. “Elder Yunhe, you’ve returned! I’ll report immediately.”
The young man took out a jade-green flute, blew into it briefly, then put it away.
“Elder Yunhe, was your mission in the Water-Fire Secret Realm successful?” the young man asked curiously.
The ancient clan’s army was annihilated, with no survivors. The moment Lin Fan’s cave dissipated, the will of the Ancient Saint World had already sensed it.
Fury, boundless fury.
All living beings in the Ancient Saint World noticed thunder flashing in the void, as if the world was ending.
They didn’t know what had happened, as such a situation had never occurred before.
The eight supreme beings of the ancient clan sat leisurely on their thrones, and upon receiving the message from the will of the Ancient Saint World, they merely smiled faintly.
For the other seven supreme beings, this had nothing to do with them.
However, for the supreme being of the ancient clan in Lin Fan’s region, it was a different story. He was seething with rage.
Even the deaths of Despair Marquis and Mighty King had not enraged him so much.
But now, the situation was different. The ancient clan’s army, boasting a million soldiers, ten commanders, and countless captains, had all perished in the Water-Fire Secret Realm. How could this not infuriate the supreme being of the ancient clan?
When the supreme being was enraged, all the kings trembled with fear.
Although they held lofty positions, they knew that in the eyes of the supreme being, they were nothing but ants.
If one of them died, the supreme being could create more kings.
The newly appointed Mighty King, who had been enjoying boundless power, now trembled and prostrated on the ground, his once domineering head buried deep, not daring to look up.
The void trembled, and a whip appeared, lashing out at the Mighty King.
Each strike caused the void to explode, and the Mighty King’s soul seemed to disintegrate, as if it could dissipate at any moment.
“Find this human and bring his head to me,” the supreme being roared after hundreds of lashes, shaking the Mighty King’s palace to the brink of collapse. The Mighty King trembled in fear and quickly nodded.
“As you command, Supreme One. I will surely find this human.”
When the void calmed, the Mighty King stood up, his fearful expression changing to one of gloom.
“Find him. If you don’t, you will all die,” the Mighty King roared. He couldn’t believe that a single human had annihilated the ancient clan’s army. This was an immense disgrace to the ancient clan, and if it wasn’t avenged, they would be ridiculed by the world.
“Yes, Mighty King,” countless members of the ancient clan prostrated, trembling as they nodded.
…
“Up ahead is the Cloud Sect,” Elder Yunhe pointed to a patch of void in the distance as a group of people flew through the depths of the void.
Lin Fan looked up. Although the area ahead seemed empty, he knew that the Cloud Sect must be deeply hidden.
Otherwise, if it were so easily discovered, the ancient clan would have attacked long ago.
As they approached, Elder Yunhe clapped his hands, and his mana surged, causing the void ahead to split open.
“In the Ancient Saint World, all sects are deeply hidden, but many have been discovered by the ancient clan and subsequently annihilated,” Elder Yunhe said, then led Lin Fan and the others through the rift.
In an instant, the scenery before them changed.
No longer was it an empty void, but a lush landscape with clear waters and fragrant flowers, a true paradise on earth.
Lin Fan looked up, realizing that this was not within the Ancient Saint World, but rather in a separate dimension.
Lin Fan marveled at the thought of which great being had the power to create such a dimension.
Elder Yunhe seemed to notice Lin Fan’s curiosity and proudly explained, “This is the cave heaven created by the founding ancestor of the Cloud Sect with immense mana, attached to the Ancient Saint World. Without the unique mana of the Cloud Sect, outsiders cannot enter.”
“A cave heaven?” Lin Fan was stunned. Could it be that the Cloud Sect existed within the cave heaven of some great being?
If that great being were to die, would this cave heaven collapse?
However, Lin Fan thought this was unlikely, but he didn’t ask further. Since Elder Yunhe didn’t elaborate, he didn’t press the matter.
Magnificent golden buildings floated in the void, connected by pathways.
At that moment, a beam of light flashed from the distance and appeared before Lin Fan in an instant.
“Who goes there?” A young man, at the mid-stage of the Azure Sky Realm, appeared before Lin Fan. Upon seeing Elder Yunhe and the others, his face lit up with joy. “Elder Yunhe, you’ve returned. I’ll inform the sect immediately.”
The young man took out a jade-green flute, blew into it, then put it away.
“Elder Yunhe, was your journey to the Water-Fire Secret Realm successful?” the young man asked curiously.
Those of their strength rarely had the chance to venture out unless led by an elder or if they reached the Divine Sky Realm. Otherwise, they could only cultivate within this cave heaven.
“It was a near-death experience,” Elder Yunhe said.
The young man’s expression changed, and he looked around, noticing that only half of those who had left had returned. His face darkened.
He knew that his fellow disciples had likely perished.
“Lin Fan, let’s head to the main hall,” Elder Yunhe said.
“Alright,” Lin Fan nodded.
As Lin Fan and Elder Yunhe left, the young man who had greeted them looked curiously at Lin Fan’s retreating figure.
“Senior Sister, who is that?” the young man asked.
“A human prodigy. If it weren’t for him, we might have all died at the hands of the ancient clan.”
“Indeed, Junior Brother, you didn’t see how powerful he was. If you had, you would have been terrified.”
…
The young man listened to his seniors’ accounts, his mouth agape, and his eyes filled with admiration.
However, Fang Weifeng was seething with resentment. He broke free from Wei Tian and flew off alone.
Wei Tian watched Fang Weifeng’s departing figure, his brow furrowed, but then relaxed.
“Senior Brother is consumed by rage, but he better not seek death,” Wei Tian thought. He had already conceded, no longer daring to oppose Lin Fan.
In his eyes, Lin Fan was no ordinary human—he was simply too powerful.
Even Senior Brother Liu Hen probably wasn’t as monstrous as this human.
In the main hall.
Lin Fan locked eyes with a man.
This middle-aged man, dressed in white robes like a frail scholar, exuded an ethereal aura, yet carried an air of authority.
Yet, this very man was the Cloud Sect’s Sect Master, who had endured 188 spiritual storms during his cave heaven tribulation.
In Lin Fan’s eyes, the Cloud Sect Master’s cultivation was even stronger than that of the Mighty King.
At the eighth level of the Divine Sky Realm, the Earthly Divine Pill stage.
“Truly a human prodigy. Your strength is astonishing. Thank you for saving my disciples,” the Cloud Sect Master said, his eyes seemingly piercing through everything, as he clasped his hands in gratitude.
“Sect Master, you flatter me. Elder Yunhe and the others gave me the artifacts they obtained from the Water-Fire Secret Realm to help me through my tribulation. I hope you won’t blame them,” Lin Fan said.
“Elder Yunhe did the right thing. A few artifacts are a small price to pay to protect a human prodigy. If it were within the Cloud Sect, we would spare no effort, even if it meant mobilizing the entire sect,” the Cloud Sect Master said.
Lin Fan observed the Cloud Sect Master’s words, finding no hint of insincerity, and felt a deep respect.
He had come to a good sect. Resting here for a while wouldn’t be a problem.
“Alas, I didn’t expect the ancient clan to discover us. I need to investigate this matter further. Elder Yunhe, arrange accommodations for them. Once I’ve figured this out, I’ll receive them properly.”
“Yes, Sect Master.”
…
“Almost didn’t make it,” Yunhe replied.
Upon hearing this, the young man’s expression changed. He looked around and noticed that only half the people had returned, his face darkening.
He realized that his senior brothers had likely perished.
“Lin Fan, let’s go to the main hall first,” Elder Yunhe said.
“Alright,” Lin Fan nodded.
As Lin Fan and Elder Yunhe departed, the young man who had greeted them curiously watched Lin Fan leave.
“Senior sister, who is that person?” the young man asked.
“A human prodigy. If it weren’t for him, we would all have died at the hands of the ancient clan this time.”
“Yeah, junior brother, you didn’t see how powerful he was. If you had, you’d have been scared to tears.”
…
As the young man listened to his seniors’ accounts, his mouth opened wider and wider, his eyes shining with admiration.
Meanwhile, only Fang Weifeng was filled with resentment. He broke away from Wei Tian and flew into the distance alone.
Wei Tian frowned slightly as he watched Fang leave, but soon relaxed.
“Senior brother is furious, but I hope he doesn’t go looking for trouble,” Wei Tian muttered. He had already submitted—he no longer dared oppose Lin Fan.
In his eyes, this human named Lin Fan was simply not normal—his strength was too overwhelming.
Even the eldest disciple, Liu Hen, probably wasn’t as terrifying as this human.
In the main hall.
Lin Fan locked eyes with a man.
This middle-aged man wore white robes, looking like a frail scholar, his aura ethereal and elusive, yet exuding an invisible authority.
The ancient clan’s army was annihilated, with no survivors. The moment Lin Fan’s celestial realm dissipated, the will of the Ancient Saint World had already sensed it.
Fury, boundless fury.
All beings in the Ancient Saint World noticed thunder flashing in the void, as if the world was ending.
They didn’t know what had happened, as such an event had never occurred before.

Even the deaths of Despair Marquis and Mighty King had not enraged him so much.
But now, the situation was different. The ancient clan’s army, boasting a million soldiers, ten commanders, and countless captains, had all perished in the Water-Fire Secret Realm. How could the supreme of the ancient clan not be furious?
When the supreme was enraged, all the kings trembled in fear.
Though they held high status, they knew that in the eyes of the supreme, they were mere ants.
If one of them died, the supreme could create more kings.
The newly appointed Mighty King, who had been enjoying immense power, now trembled and prostrated on the ground, his once domineering head buried deep, not daring to look up.
The void trembled, and a whip appeared, lashing at the Mighty King.
Each strike caused the void to explode, and the Mighty King’s soul seemed to disintegrate, as if it could dissipate at any moment.
“Find this human and bring his head to me,” the supreme roared after hundreds of lashes, shaking the Mighty King’s palace to the brink of collapse. The Mighty King trembled in fear and hurriedly nodded.
“As you command, Supreme. I will find this human.”
When the void calmed, the Mighty King stood up, his fearful expression turning dark and sinister.
“Find him. If you fail, you will all die,” the Mighty King raged. He couldn’t believe that a single human had annihilated the ancient clan’s army. It was an immense disgrace to the ancient clan, and if not avenged, they would be ridiculed by the world.
“Yes, Mighty King,” countless ancient clan members prostrated, trembling as they nodded.
…
“Yun Sect is just ahead,” said Elder Yun He, pointing to a void in the distance as a group of people flew through the depths of the void.
Lin Fan looked ahead. Though it appeared empty, he knew that Yun Sect must be deeply hidden.
Otherwise, if it were so easily discovered, the ancient clan would have attacked long ago.
As they approached, Elder Yun He clapped his hands, and his mana surged, causing the void ahead to split open.
“All sects in the Ancient Saint World are deeply hidden, but many have been discovered by the ancient clan and subsequently annihilated,” Elder Yun He explained as he led Lin Fan and the others through the rift.
In an instant, the scenery before them changed.
No longer empty, it was now a picturesque landscape of mountains, clear waters, and the fragrance of flowers—a true paradise on earth.
Lin Fan looked up, realizing that this was not within the Ancient Saint World but rather a separate dimension.
Lin Fan marveled inwardly, wondering which great being had the power to create such a dimension.
Elder Yun He seemed to notice Lin Fan’s curiosity and proudly explained, “This celestial realm was created by the founding ancestor of Yun Sect with immense power, attached to the Ancient Saint World. Without the unique mana of Yun Sect, outsiders cannot enter.”
“A celestial realm?” Lin Fan was stunned. Could it be that Yun Sect existed within the celestial realm of some great being?
If that great being were to die, would this celestial realm collapse?
However, Lin Fan thought this unlikely, but he didn’t press further. Since Elder Yun He didn’t elaborate, he decided not to ask too much.
Golden, resplendent buildings floated in the void, connected by pathways.
At that moment, a beam of light flashed from the distance and appeared before Lin Fan in an instant.
“Who goes there?” A young man, at the mid-stage of the Azure Sky Realm, appeared before Lin Fan. Upon seeing Elder Yun He and the others, his face lit up with joy. “Elder Yun He, you’ve returned! I’ll inform the sect immediately.”
The young man took out a jade-green flute, blew into it, and then put it away.
“Elder Yun He, was your journey to the Water-Fire Secret Realm successful?” the young man asked curiously.
Those of their strength rarely had the opportunity to leave the sect unless led by an elder or having reached the Divine Sky Realm. Otherwise, they could only cultivate within this celestial realm.
“It was a close call,” Elder Yun He replied.
The young man’s expression changed, and he looked around, noticing that only half of the group had returned. His face darkened.
He knew that those fellow disciples must have perished.
“Lin Fan, let’s head to the main hall,” Elder Yun He said.
“Alright,” Lin Fan nodded.
As Lin Fan and Elder Yun He left, the young man who had greeted them looked curiously at Lin Fan’s departing figure.
“Senior Sister, who is that?” the young man asked.
“A human prodigy. If it weren’t for him, we might have all died at the hands of the ancient clan.”
“Yes, Junior Brother, you didn’t see how powerful he was. If you had, you would have been terrified.”
…
The young man listened to his senior brothers and sisters, his mouth agape, his eyes shining with admiration.
However, Fang Weifeng was filled with resentment. He broke free from Wei Tian and flew off alone in the distance.
Wei Tian watched Fang Weifeng’s departing figure, his brow furrowed, but then it relaxed.
“Senior Brother is consumed by anger, but I hope he doesn’t do anything foolish,” Wei Tian thought. He had already conceded, no longer daring to oppose Lin Fan.
In his eyes, Lin Fan was simply inhuman, too powerful.
Even Senior Brother Liu Hen probably wasn’t as monstrous as this human.
In the main hall.
Lin Fan stood face to face with a man.
This middle-aged man wore white robes, resembling a frail scholar. His aura was ethereal and elusive, yet he carried an air of authority.
This man was the sect master of Yun Sect, who had endured 188 spiritual storms during his celestial tribulation.
In Lin Fan’s eyes, the sect master’s cultivation was even stronger than that of the Mighty King.

“Elder Yun He did the right thing. A few artifacts are a small price to pay to protect a human prodigy. If it were within Yun Sect, we would spare no effort, even if it meant mobilizing the entire sect,” the sect master replied.
Lin Fan observed the sect master’s words, finding no hint of insincerity, and felt a deep respect.
He had come to a good sect. Staying here for a short rest wouldn’t be a problem.
“Alas, I didn’t expect the ancient clan to discover us. I need to investigate this matter further. Elder Yun He, arrange accommodations for them. Once I’ve figured this out, I’ll receive them properly.”
“Yes, Sect Master.”
…
In Lin Fan’s perception, this sect leader’s cultivation surpassed even that of the Wei King.
The ancient clan’s army was annihilated, with no survivors. The moment Lin Fan’s celestial realm dissipated, the will of the Ancient Sacred World had already sensed it.
Fury, boundless fury.
All beings in the Ancient Sacred World noticed thunder flashing in the void, as if the world was ending.
They didn’t know what had happened, for such a situation had never occurred before.

However, Fang Weifeng was filled with resentment. He broke free from Wei Tian and flew off alone.
Wei Tian watched Fang Weifeng’s departing figure, his brow furrowing slightly before relaxing.
“Senior Brother is consumed by rage, but I hope he doesn’t seek his own death,” Wei Tian thought. He had already conceded, no longer daring to oppose Lin Fan.
In his eyes, Lin Fan was no ordinary human—he was simply too powerful.
Even the senior brother, Liu Hen, likely couldn’t match this human’s monstrous strength.
In the main hall.

He had found a good sect. Resting here for a while wouldn’t be a problem.
“Alas, I didn’t expect the ancient clan to discover us. I need to investigate this matter further. Elder Yunhe, arrange accommodations for them. Once I’ve figured this out, I’ll receive them properly.”
“Yes, Sect Master.”
…
“Indeed, a human prodigy. Your strength is truly admirable. Thank you for rescuing our disciples,” the sect leader said, his eyes seeming to pierce through everything as he bowed gratefully.
“It was nothing, Sect Leader Yun. To help me survive the lightning tribulation, Elder Yunhe gave me the Dao artifacts obtained from the Water-Fire Secret Realm. I hope you won’t hold it against them,” Lin Fan replied.
“Elder Yunhe did the right thing. A few Dao artifacts are a small price to ensure the safety of a human prodigy. If it were within Yun Sect, we would spare no effort to protect such a talent,” the sect leader said.
Lin Fan could sense the sincerity in the sect leader’s words, and felt great respect for him.
He had arrived at a good sect. Taking a brief rest here was no problem.
“Sigh, I never expected the ancient clan to discover us. I must investigate this matter. Yunhe, arrange accommodations. Once I’ve clarified everything, I will properly receive you.”
“Yes, Sect Leader.”
