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 outside, it would be a tragedy.
But seeing Lin Fan’s excited expression, Elder Yan knew it was useless to try to stop him.
“No, Sect Leader, I’ve stayed in the sect long enough. My current cultivation has hit a bottleneck, and I need an opportunity to break through,” Lin Fan said.
After all, he was a wanderer destined for the greater realms. How could he stay cooped up in the sect forever? Moreover, his current strength wasn’t at the peak yet. Though life here was rich and fulfilling, he still felt uneasy.
If one day the calamity that befell the Holy Demon Sect were to strike their own sect, he would regret it deeply.
In the past, he hadn’t taken his cultivation seriously, living each day in leisure and joy. Now, for Lin Fan, it was essential to improve his cultivation even while enjoying himself.
Elder Yan knew he wouldn’t be able to talk him out of it and finally agreed reluctantly.
“You can go for training, but you must wait until tomorrow to leave,” Elder Yan said, planning to discuss with the senior elders. Lin Fan was now a precious asset to the sect, and no matter what, his safety had to be ensured.
Lin Fan looked at the Sect Leader 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. When the time came to show off, he had to show off. After all, he couldn’t hide it forever.
As Lin Fan walked through the sect, disciples passing by curiously looked at him.
“Senior Uncle, that axe looks so powerful,” one disciple exclaimed in amazement.
Lin Fan smiled slightly. “It’s nothing special, just something I received from the Sect Leader’s inheritance.”
“What?” The surrounding disciples were stunned upon hearing this. Could it be that the Sect Leader had already chosen the next leader?
But soon they became puzzled. Since when had the sect ever had an inheritance involving weapons? Perhaps this Senior Uncle was just joking.
“Senior Uncle, can we touch it?” The disciples, curious about the massive axe resting on Lin Fan’s shoulder, asked.
Although the axe appeared ordinary at first glance, the flowing light on its surface clearly indicated that 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,” Lin Fan said, delighted by the envious gazes of the younger disciples. This was the joy of life!
“Wonderful…”
The surrounding disciples were filled with admiration. “Only Senior Lin could possess such a treasure.”
“Yeah, he won the title of the Strongest Prodigy not long ago, and now he has such a divine weapon. He’s truly a pride of our sect.”
Hearing the praises from the younger disciples, 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 with slight confusion. Who was this guy, so audacious?
Bang!
The moment Lu Yan touched the axe, a brilliant glow erupted from it, sending him flying backward.
The disciples around watched in astonishment.
“Who is this guy? Senior Uncle already said not to touch it, yet he still tried.”
“Who knows? Senior Lin has never lied to us. He just brought it upon himself.”
“Maybe he wanted to impress Senior Lin, but Lin Senior treats everyone equally. Such a petty trick won’t work on him.”
Lu Yan, who had been thrown back by the unstoppable glow, got up from the ground. In his calm eyes flickered a trace of hatred.
This Lu Yan was someone Lin Fan had overlooked several months ago when selecting weeding assistants from the servant disciples. In these past few months, with the help of a mysterious Buddhist bead, Lu Yan had advanced from the Mortal realm to the Innate realm and had become an outer sect disciple.
“Junior, are you alright?” Lin Fan asked.
Lu Yan glanced at Lin Fan and then left.
“This guy…” Lin Fan helplessly shook his head. This disciple didn’t seem like a good person. Anyone who couldn’t get along with him was definitely not a good person.
“How arrogant!”
“Who is he? Do you know him? How could he be so disrespectful to Senior 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 further and waved his hand. “Alright, you all can disperse now. Your Senior Uncle will leave the sect tomorrow for cultivation training. When I return, I’ll bring you all something fun.”
“Thank you, Senior Uncle.”
The disciples were delighted and respectfully saw Lin Fan off.
Upon returning to Wuming Peak, Lin Fan immediately put the massive axe into his bag and began rummaging around, packing.
“Hehe, making me wait until tomorrow to leave? Absolutely impossible. Such a delaying tactic is transparent to me,” Lin Fan had already seen through the Sect Leader’s intentions.
Initially, Lin Fan might have believed the Sect Leader would let him leave, but after obtaining the Eternal Axe, there was no way they would allow him to go.
After all, they were just trying to ensure his safety. However, staying in the sect all the time was quite boring. If he didn’t go out and see the world, how could he progress?
Just think about the last time he went to the Piaomiao Snow Peak with the sect. His cultivation skyrocketed so fast it was unbelievable.
Therefore, anyone who tried to stop him from going out would have to fight him.
But thinking about the strength of the Sect Leader and others, Lin Fan didn’t have the slightest hope.
At this moment, Lin Fan opened his trunk, packed some clothes and daily necessities, and immediately headed toward Danding Peak.
When traveling outside, one must be well-prepared.
Lin Fan was now a celebrity at Danding Peak, so no one stopped him. He swept through the area, collecting many medicinal herbs. When he had gathered enough, he returned to Wuming Peak.
Lin Fan summoned Cai Zhiqiao, Zhang Erdou, and others, explaining that he would be going out for a period of training and urging them to take good care of the mountain.
Hearing that Lin Fan was leaving, Cai Zhiqiao naturally felt reluctant. But thinking about his promise to 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 sister,” Lin Fan waved at them and then descended Wuming Peak. When he reached halfway down the mountain, Lin Fan instantly activated his invisibility state and ran toward the mountain gate.
