Chapter 559: The Secret Realm of Water and Fire

“My ultimate skill, Guang Buliuqiu… Ah…”

When Lin Fan saw Wan Wujun and the Thunder Cultivation King enter the academy, he suddenly recalled an extremely important matter.

Why had he saved Wan Wujun for last?

Of course, it was for the ultimate skill, Guang Buliuqiu.

But now, Wan Wujun had actually been converted by that guy, the Thunder Cultivation King. If he couldn’t obtain the technique later, he would definitely fight the Thunder Cultivation King for it.

As Lin Fan pondered these thoughts, Hongyun Fairy wore a confused expression.

Though she had seen many things in her life, a domain like this was something she had never encountered before.

A domain spirit with independent consciousness? How was that even possible? And such a strange one at that.

In fact, Hongyun Fairy didn’t know that within Lin Fan’s domain, the Thunder Cultivation King wasn’t the only domain spirit. There were also spirits like “Big Brother Fan” and various other bizarre and chaotic domain spirits.

This domain was too powerful—just too strong.

At this moment, Lin Fan silently communicated with the Thunder Cultivation King, demanding he hand over the ultimate skill, Guang Buliuqiu.

This time, all the benefits had gone to the Thunder Cultivation King. Although Lin Fan had personally slain five Divine Heaven Stage One True Dao Stage experts, the experience gained wasn’t that significant.

What Lin Fan valued most was the ultimate skill that Wan Wujun possessed.

However, what slightly annoyed Lin Fan was that the Thunder Cultivation King didn’t even respond. When Lin Fan checked, he saw that the Thunder Cultivation King was joyfully “cultivating” Wan Wujun inside a secret chamber, using extremely harsh methods, as if he hadn’t had a chance to cultivate in a long time and was now extremely excited.

“Thank you, young master, for saving my life. May I ask for your honorable name?” At this moment, Hongyun Fairy, having recovered from her shock, expressed her gratitude.

Lin Fan decided not to disturb the Thunder Cultivation King for now. He’d ask for the skill after the “cultivation” was finished. It would be better to deal with the current situation first.

What kind of precious treasure was it that she carried?

“In my humble opinion, I am Lin Fan. It’s the duty of people like me to stand up against injustice. There’s no need for formalities, miss,” Lin Fan waved his hand and said, though inwardly he was thinking about how best to phrase his question to discover what kind of treasure it was.

Curiosity could be deadly.

Well, better to be straightforward and ask clearly.

“Miss, I noticed those people chasing and trying to kill you appeared to be after some unusual treasure you possess. But please don’t misunderstand—I’m just naturally curious and have no ulterior motives,” Lin Fan quickly explained, fearing she might think he was a bad person.

After all, someone as righteous as himself could never be one of those greedy types.

Hongyun Fairy hadn’t expected Lin Fan to be so direct and couldn’t help but laugh.

“Master Lin is overthinking. I never considered you to be someone greedy for treasures,” Hongyun Fairy smiled.

“This is the treasure they wanted to steal,” she continued, pulling out a talisman and explaining it without the slightest hint of caution.

“This talisman isn’t a treasure in itself, but rather a guide to an exploration of a secret realm.”

“A secret realm guide?” Lin Fan felt puzzled. Weren’t all the secret realms in the Gusheng World controlled by the ancient clans? How could something like this exist?

At the same time, Lin Fan deeply admired Hongyun Fairy’s personality. To survive with so little caution—she must have immense fortune on her side.

“Master Lin, are you laughing at Hongyun for having no caution at all?” Hongyun Fairy spoke again, interrupting Lin Fan’s thoughts.

“Ah, no, how could that be?” Lin Fan’s expression immediately changed, and he solemnly declared, appearing extremely noble.

“It’s okay, Master Lin. Hongyun has always had this intuition since childhood. However, I know that although you carry a heavy aura of killing, it’s all from slaying the ancient clans. Therefore, I know you’re a good person,” Hongyun said.

Lin Fan was stunned. He hadn’t expected someone like this to exist in the world—one who could sense good and evil?

But in Lin Fan’s view, what really distinguished good people from bad? It was just differences in ideology, beliefs, and goals.

From another perspective, whether good or bad, people were all just trying to live better lives.

“Then that’s fine. But there’s no need to call me Master, just call me Lin Fan,” Lin Fan said.

“Alright, then you can just call me Hongyun,” Hongyun Fairy smiled.

“Hongyun.”

“Lin Fan.”

“Hahaha…”

They exchanged glances and then burst into laughter.

“This talisman is one of eight. I hold one, and the others are with my fellow disciples. I wonder if they’ve found the Water-Fire Secret Realm,” Hongyun said.

“The Water-Fire Secret Realm?”

“Yes. It’s the tomb of the Water-Fire Emperor, an extraordinary expert from ancient times who mastered both the Water and Fire Truths. After his death, he left behind this tomb, which even the ancient clans don’t know about,” Hongyun Fairy explained.

Upon hearing the words “extraordinary expert,” Lin Fan immediately became deeply interested. He loved secret realms, especially the tombs of such powerful individuals.

But he wondered what cultivation level the Water-Fire Emperor had achieved and what treasures he had left behind in this secret realm.

However, Lin Fan had once been tricked by that old dog Qisheng, so he wasn’t too optimistic about the treasures in such tombs. Fortunately, he had his system, so it wouldn’t be easy for these so-called experts to deceive him again.

“Let’s go together. Having another person will make things safer inside the Water-Fire Secret Realm,” Hongyun Fairy said.

“Would it be okay for me to go with you?” Lin Fan really wanted to go but thought that joining her might cause issues with her fellow disciples.

“It’s fine. The secret realm is vast and boundless, filled with countless treasures. Everything depends on one’s fate. Some people search the entire realm without finding anything, while others can obtain treasures just by standing still. I don’t think such prejudice should exist. However…” Hongyun Fairy smiled, though she knew her fellow disciples didn’t share her view.

Looking at Hongyun Fairy, Lin Fan grew quite fond of her. Her thinking was spot on.

Without further ceremony, Lin Fan and Hongyun Fairy flew toward the distant destination together.

The Water-Fire Secret Realm, the Water-Fire Emperor—just the names sounded grand. He hoped whatever was inside wouldn’t disappoint.

He also wondered how many of Hongyun Fairy’s fellow disciples had come. If there were too many, it might be troublesome.

As an outsider, he would surely face some exclusion.
