Chapter 597: Despicable, Shameless.

What Lin Fan hadn’t expected was that these martial arts spirits and artifact spirits actually knew how to compete for favorable positions. In Lin Fan’s eyes, their intelligence was no small feat.

His cave heaven was now a world of its own, albeit not large in scale, still spanning ten thousand miles.

Though merely an embryonic world, it had everything it needed—nothing was missing.

The “Eighteen Layers of Hell” utilized the domain of the tomb heaven, a realm that required guarding.

Likewise, the laws of the Dongtian also needed to be protected and controlled.

Within the Dongtian, all forms of life would naturally arise. The Thunder Cultivation King was passionate about discipline, a role that no one else could fulfill.

“Master, I’ve been with you since the very beginning. This big guy doesn’t have any talent at all—he does nothing but eat all day and can’t fight when enemies arrive. If he were to guard the laws of the Dongtian, he’d probably get beaten like a dog the moment someone attacked,” said the Spirit of Da Fan Ge.

“Rubbish! I am an ancient great demon, of the purest bloodline, supreme in majesty and awe-inspiring. How can someone as vulgar as you command respect?” the ancient demon retorted.

“Hmph, the Dongtian will certainly be filled with all kinds of living beings in the future. What abilities do you have to take care of them?” the Spirit of Da Fan Ge retorted.

“What about you? What abilities do you have?” the ancient demon shot back.

“Hmph, hmph!” the Spirit of Da Fan Ge sneered twice. “What abilities do I have? I have countless abilities! I am the Spirit of Da Fan Ge—I can replenish the spiritual energy of the洞天, I can sprinkle spiritual rain to nourish all things, and I can also…”

The Spirit of Da Fan Ge rambled on endlessly, causing even Lin Fan to furrow his brows.

“Keep boasting. I believe you can replenish the Cave Heaven’s spiritual energy, but do you really think you can summon spiritual rain at will like that?” the ancient demon mocked.

The Spirit of Da Fan Ge stared at the ancient demon, his eyes suddenly becoming determined. He pointed a finger, and a river formed from the essence of water surged into the sky.

The Spirit of Da Fan Ge swallowed this vast river in one gulp, then let out a satisfied belch.

“Remember my words, I, the Spirit of Da Fan Ge, am the best guardian of the Dongtian’s laws, the true ruler of the Dongtian’s void. For the master and the development of the Dongtian, I am willing to make any sacrifice!” roared the Spirit of Da Fan Ge. However, what he did next completely stunned Lin Fan.

Suddenly, the Spirit of Da Fan Ge pulled down his pants, grabbed his manhood, and began urinating.

In an instant, spiritual rain poured from the sky.

“What the hell…” Lin Fan was utterly stunned. If he allowed Da Fan Ge’s Spirit to guard the cave heaven, wouldn’t his cave heaven become a public restroom?

“You… you…” the ancient demon was also speechless, shocked by the Spirit of Da Fan Ge’s shameless act. How could someone be so brazen and disrespectful?

“Enough!” Lin Fan roared, exasperated by the chaos.

“Feitian shall guard the laws of the洞天!” Lin Fan waved his hand decisively, his decree immediately taking effect. A talisman embodying the洞天’s laws emitted a brilliant light.

A mysterious force descended, enveloping Long Xuan and Xi Guang.

“The Thunder Cultivation King shall civilize all beings.”

“The ancient demon shall guard the Eighteen Layers of Hell.”

“The Spirit of Da Fan Ge shall replenish the spiritual energy and patrol the sacred caves.”

With a single command, a beam of light shone forth, compelling all spirits of artifacts and martial arts to obey.

The cave heaven had transformed, destined for boundless potential.

Lin Fan could also sense that during the lightning tribulation, his power had risen dramatically, far surpassing his previous strength.

Though the Water-Fire Secret Realm had been perilous, Lin Fan considered it a tremendous gain.

His physical body had strengthened, his cave heaven had evolved, and the divine martial deity he cultivated had grown even more powerful.

Moreover, Lin Fan felt that a single punch from him seemed to contain the force of an entire world.

Of course, it wasn’t quite that terrifying, but it made Lin Fan feel that his strength had reached an extraordinary level.

Even a fourth-stage Immortal Heaven cultivator at the Undying Realm would be shattered by a single punch.

Meanwhile, Fairy Hongyun and others were searching desperately for Lin Fan, hoping to find any clue. Suddenly, space trembled, and a figure appeared in the void.

“Lin Fan!” everyone exclaimed in excitement upon seeing the figure.

Fairy Hongyun rushed to Lin Fan’s side, examining him closely, her heart filled with shock. His aura had become increasingly powerful and mysterious.

“You passed the Heaven-Sundering Lightning Tribulation?” Fairy Hongyun asked.

“Yes, I did,” Lin Fan replied simply, without hesitation.

Fairy Hongyun knew that if Lin Fan were still alive, he must have survived the Heaven-shaking Thunder Calamity. Hearing the confirmation directly from him left her even more astonished.

Elder Yunhe and the others were speechless.

Surviving such a terrifying heavenly lightning tribulation required immense fortune and rare opportunity.

From now on, the sky was the limit—freedom and boundless potential awaited.

“Excellent! Truly excellent! No wonder you are considered a prodigy of humanity!” Elder Yunhe said excitedly.

Tianyun and Mu Qing stepped forward to congratulate him, their hearts filled with awe. Standing beside Lin Fan, they felt as though they were facing not a man, but an entire world.

Wei Tian supported Fang Weifeng, hiding among the crowd, heads bowed, too afraid to look Lin Fan directly in the eye.

“Lin Fan, thank you for everything in the Water-Fire Secret Realm. Without you, none of us might have survived,” Elder Yunhe said gratefully.

“Actually, if it weren’t for you giving me the treasures from the Water-Fire Secret Realm, I wouldn’t have made it either,” Lin Fan replied honestly.

But in Lin Fan’s heart, he was most grateful to the Ancient Clans—if not for them, the Dongtian Thunder Calamity would have truly been a disaster.

Elder Yunhe was overjoyed. Although the Dao artifacts and spiritual treasures from the Water-Fire Secret Realm were valuable, establishing a good relationship with such a promising human prodigy was an immeasurable blessing.

“Now that the Ancient Clans’ army has been completely destroyed, they certainly won’t let this go. Why not visit Yun Sect for a while?” Elder Yunhe suggested.

Lin Fan hesitated briefly before nodding in agreement.

“Actually, I was planning to pay Yun Sect a visit myself,” Lin Fan said. He wanted to see their ancient texts.

This incident had deeply impressed upon Lin Fan the importance of knowledge.

Moreover, with the Dongtian transformed, he needed vast amounts of knowledge to construct everything within it.

Wei Tian now harbored deep fear toward Lin Fan, but for Fang Weifeng, it was hatred.

Hearing that Lin Fan would be going to Yun Sect only intensified his fury, like a river surging endlessly.

“Fine. Once you’re at Yun Sect, I’ll make sure you regret it,” Fang Weifeng’s eyes gleamed with malice.

Lin Fan turned and caught the fleeting murderous intent in Fang Weifeng’s eyes. Though it vanished in an instant, Lin Fan could now sense even the faintest hostility.

He didn’t give it a second thought.
