The Fairy of Red Clouds looked at Lin Fan with a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had restrained himself; otherwise, if he had truly used lethal force, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Yet inside, Lin Fan felt far from pleased.
It all came down to strength.
Within the Yun Sect, not only was the Sect Leader stronger than himself, but even some of the elders possessed far greater power than him.
Fang Weifeng had repeatedly provoked him and deserved to be killed, but Lin Fan had to consider the elders of the Yun Sect. If he possessed supreme strength, he wouldn’t have hesitated at all—he would have killed without mercy.
“Lin Fan, thank you for showing restraint. They’ve grown too complacent within the Yun Sect, developing this arrogant and disrespectful attitude,” said the Fairy of Red Clouds. Though her cultivation wasn’t high, she could see into people’s hearts.
She knew the Yun Sect was gradually declining in the hands of this generation of disciples.
The eldest disciple of the Yun Sect no longer sought to overthrow the ancient clans but instead schemed and formed factions, vying for the position of Sect Leader.
Lin Fan didn’t respond, merely smiling faintly as he gazed at the beautiful scenery around him.
In the Ancient Holy Realm, such a flourishing sect was indeed a rare sight—perhaps even the holy sects of the Xuan Huang Realm couldn’t compare.
Indeed, only in times of chaos can true dragons emerge.
…
“Senior Brother Zhang, are you alright?” Fang Weifeng was already trembling with fear, his face pale. He hadn’t expected Senior Brother Zhang, who seemed so powerful, to lose against this human.
Especially the way that human had looked at him upon leaving—Fang Weifeng felt chilled to the bone.
Zhang Wenzhuang’s face darkened with fury. The strange looks from the surrounding disciples felt like countless slaps across his face.
“Get out!” Zhang Wenzhuang roared, his eyes filled with boundless rage as he stood and stormed away.
He couldn’t bear the humiliation he had suffered today, especially in front of so many juniors.
To Zhang Wenzhuang, it was an unbearable disgrace.
Fang Weifeng flinched at the shout and involuntarily took a few steps back. As he watched Zhang leave, although anger brewed inside him, he followed behind.
He now planned to report everything to the eldest senior brother and have him deal with the matter.
In his view, Lin Fan was practically asking for death. If the eldest senior brother got involved, the consequences would be terrifying.
The surrounding disciples watched as Zhang Wenzhuang and Fang Weifeng fled in disgrace, becoming even more vocal in their discussions.
“That guy was too fierce—he actually defeated Senior Brother Zhang!”
“So powerful! With just one finger, he defeated Senior Brother Zhang, who is at the Fourth Heaven God Realm. How strong must this human be?”
“Senior Brother Tianyun, quickly tell us more about this human!”
As the younger disciples gathered around him, Tianyun couldn’t help but feel proud and smiled.
“Now do you believe what I said?”
“Yes, we believe you now.”
“Senior Brother Tianyun, tell us more!”
Tianyun laughed joyfully, and the crowd surrounded him like stars circling the moon, eagerly listening to his stories.
Yet even now, Tianyun felt some concern. After all, behind Zhang Wenzhuang stood the eldest senior brother. If the eldest senior brother got involved, what should they do?
The news spread quickly.
Besides the eldest senior brother, there were many other senior brothers and sisters within the sect who had their own factions.
Their relationship with Senior Brother Liu Hen wasn’t good. Though they maintained appearances on the surface, they schemed and plotted behind the scenes.
The Sect Leader was aware of this but didn’t know what to say.
…
“Red Cloud, the Yun Sect resides within a Heaven’s Domain. Is the master of this domain still alive?” Lin Fan had always been puzzled about this.
After all, living within someone else’s Heaven’s Domain essentially meant entrusting one’s life to that person.
Moreover, the Sect Leader’s cultivation was at the Eighth Heaven God Realm—the master of the domain wasn’t afraid of him causing trouble?
Seeing Lin Fan’s inquiry, Red Cloud didn’t hide anything, as it wasn’t a secret.
“This Heaven’s Domain is actually the domain of the Yun Sect’s founding ancestor. However, to maintain the domain, the founding ancestor passed away when establishing the sect, merging his essence into the domain’s Dao to maintain its order.” As Red Cloud recalled the ancestor’s deeds, admiration surfaced in her expression.
It was a sacrifice of self for the sake of future generations.
Lin Fan gazed into the depths of the Heaven’s Domain. Within its profound expanse, a mysterious force blocked all exploration.
Looking at the ancestor of the Yun Sect, Lin Fan also showed deep respect.
All of this was for the sake of future generations.
He had provided a sanctuary for countless beings across the great myriad races.
If it were himself, he definitely couldn’t do this.
After all, those with such power were usually supreme rulers of their eras. To abandon everything, cut off the path to eternal immortality, and sacrifice oneself for others required an extraordinary level of selflessness.
One couldn’t help but admire such a person.
Guided by Red Cloud, Lin Fan saw the entire Yun Sect, and he gained new ideas for the development of his own Heaven’s Domain.
Though situated within a Heaven’s Domain, the Yun Sect was like a small world.
There were beings naturally generated within the domain, secret realms developed later, and self-contained rules.
The four seasons cycled, with sun, moon, and stars.
Yet beyond the sun, moon, and stars, there was only darkness, no path.
Lin Fan secretly observed that his own Heaven’s Domain, when fully developed, would surely reach such a state.
But this path was long, requiring slow exploration.
After wandering for a while, Lin Fan parted ways with the Fairy of Red Clouds.
However, Red Cloud had also given Lin Fan good news—that tomorrow she would take him to the scripture pavilion to view all the books.
For such a great sect, Lin Fan had long been eager to see its collection.
The scriptures stored there must be as vast as the ocean, with profound depth far beyond his imagination.
At the peak of the eldest senior brother’s mountain.
Fang Weifeng was sobbing bitterly.
“Senior Brother, this human is too arrogant! Not only did he beat Senior Brother Zhang, but he also insulted you,” Fang Weifeng cried.
“Senior Brother Zhang asked him to apologize and compensate, but he arrogantly said Senior Brother Zhang wasn’t even worthy of speaking to him and demanded that you personally go see him.”
Liu Hen’s expression darkened, clearly filled with anger.
Within the Yun Sect, someone dared to harm his people—it was clear they didn’t respect him.
Where did Elder Yunhe find this human? How could he act so recklessly within the Yun Sect?
“Senior Brother Zhang, is what Fang said true? Did that human really say such things?” Liu Hen asked coldly.
“Senior Brother, what Fang said is correct. That human did say that,” Zhang Wenzhuang replied, feeling humiliated.
He, a Heaven God Realm expert, had been defeated by a mere human—this was a disgrace to him.
But he knew his strength was inferior. However, the human was clearly only at the Heaven’s Domain Realm—how could he possibly be his match?
Zhang Wenzhuang couldn’t understand this at all.
Even a genius shouldn’t be able to defeat someone an entire cultivation level higher without giving him any chance to fight back.
“Fine, very well. If that’s the case, then tomorrow I shall meet him and see what abilities he truly possesses,” Liu Hen said angrily, his eyes flashing with a hint of viciousness.
Hearing that the eldest senior brother would personally intervene, Fang Weifeng was naturally overjoyed.
“With the eldest senior brother stepping in, no matter how powerful this human is, he’ll end up like a dead dog, crushed beneath your foot.”
Fang Weifeng’s flattery had no effect on Liu Hen.
As the eldest senior brother, Liu Hen was deeply embroiled in power struggles with several others. If this incident spread—that one of his subordinates had been beaten and he took no action—it would become a laughingstock.
Then, the disciples who had gathered around him might scatter, greatly affecting his chances of succeeding to the Sect Leader position.
