Chapter 1052: The Heavenly Sovereign Who Heard the Dao

Tai Qiantian and the others noticed the sudden change in Tian Fengling’s expression and were immediately alarmed. “What’s wrong?”

Tian Fengling roared in shock, his face pale as if gravely wounded. “He is severing my connection with my original body!”

“What?” Everyone was shocked, unable to believe their ears. “Impossible! Kunlun Divine Mountain is an ultimate-grade immortal artifact. After being blessed by the Kunlun Divine Sect’s fortune, even we would find it extremely difficult to refine and control it.”

Lin Fan, secretly refining the Kunlun Divine Mountain at that moment, looked up through the water and saw the excruciating expression on Tian Fengling’s face. His heart immediately filled with joy.

“Hehe, you dared to suppress me? Today, I’m going to refine this Kunlun Divine Mountain and let you fall flat on your face!” The connection between the Kunlun Divine Mountain and Tian Fengling still existed, and since the mountain was actually his original body, its refinement would certainly cause Tian Fengling severe injury.

“Beast! You damned beast! I must find him and kill him!” Tian Fengling roared furiously. Never before had he felt such rage, but today’s situation had become unbearable.

“Refine it!” Lin Fan shouted inwardly.

Inside the Celestial Furnace, the spirit of Kunlun Divine Mountain wailed in agony. Under the refining force, it had no chance of resistance. Even though its original body was boundless, it was utterly useless within the Celestial Furnace.

“Ahh!”

Continuous screams echoed through the heavens and earth. Tian Fengling was gravely wounded in spirit, his face pale and hideous, and suddenly he spat out a mouthful of blood, his body trembling violently as if he might collapse at any moment.

Tai Qiantian immediately supported Tian Fengling and quickly gave him a divine pill to swallow, his expression dark and grim.

Spit!

Though the divine pill could reverse death and restore life, at this moment, no pill could help. Tian Fengling spat out another mouthful of blood, his spirit utterly drained.

Even now, Tian Fengling still could not understand how that person had managed it.

It wasn’t merely severing the connection between him and Kunlun Divine Mountain—it was completely destroying their link.

Ordinary experts might only refine an immortal artifact, but unlike Tian Fengling, they wouldn’t have such a tightly bound connection. One damaged, both suffered, an unavoidable loss.

“Damnable! Damnable!” Tian Fengling roared, gritting his teeth. At the final moment, he decisively severed the connection between himself and Kunlun Divine Mountain.

Now gravely injured, if he continued like this, the damage would be far worse than it already was.

“Ding! Congratulations, refinement successful.”

“Ding! Obtained the Primordial Power of Kunlun Divine Mountain.”

“Ding! Obtained the Fortune Power of the Kunlun Divine Sect.”

Lin Fan noticed two glowing orbs floating within the Celestial Furnace. But at this moment, he was still fleeing for his life and couldn’t stop to study the two items.

“You severed your connection with Kunlun Divine Mountain?” Tai Qiantian exclaimed in shock. He hadn’t expected a disciple from the Celestial Sect to possess such ability—to refine Kunlun Divine Mountain without their detection and force Tian Fengling to sever the link himself. This was a tremendous loss for the Kunlun Divine Sect.

Tian Fengling was extremely weak, his vitality and spirit dissipating. If not for the divine pill suppressing his injuries, he might have already fainted.

This was no simple wound—it was a soul injury, his original body destroyed. How could he bear such a loss?

“If I hadn’t severed the connection, the consequences would have been even graver,” Tian Fengling said. “I’m not done with the Celestial Sect yet. I must retreat for cultivation now, or my unstable cultivation base might decline, and I may never progress again.”

Tai Qiantian was deeply shocked. Tian Fengling was the deputy sect leader of Kunlun Divine Sect. If anything happened to him, it would be a massive loss for the sect.

Meanwhile, hiding nearby, Lin Fan saw the figures in the void disappear and finally exhaled in relief. As long as they were gone, everything was fine. But even now, he dared not move yet, fearing these people might have some hidden trick up their sleeves.

Several days later.

After confirming the area was safe, Lin Fan cautiously began moving again, swimming through the lake like a fish before quietly climbing ashore and walking away, not even daring to fly.

“What a bunch of useless fellows! Even with such powerful strength, they couldn’t even find me. They call themselves sect leaders of Kunlun Divine Sect? Hmph!” Lin Fan was now full of smug satisfaction.

But inwardly, he was still shaken. If not for the One Thought Flame, breaking through Kunlun Divine Mountain would have been difficult.

In a secret location,

Lin Fan took out the two orbs of primordial power.

Kunlun Divine Mountain Primordial: An innate divine mountain, the sovereign of earth spirits. Consuming it grants full mastery of earth-based divine abilities.

Kunlun Divine Sect Fortune Power: Consumable. Gaining the fortune of the Kunlun Divine Sect grants heavenly fortune and can be converted into massive experience.

Never had he imagined these two items had such effects. Without hesitation, Lin Fan immediately consumed both.

“Ding! Congratulations, consumed Kunlun Divine Mountain Primordial. Earth-based divine abilities fully mastered. Innate Earth Element advanced.”

“Ding! Congratulations, consumed Kunlun Divine Sect Fortune Power. Converted into experience.”

“Ding! Congratulations, gained experience…”

“Ding! Cultivation advanced.”

“Cultivation: Golden Immortal Peak.”

At this moment, Lin Fan felt secretly delighted. His cultivation had advanced at an incredible speed, now reaching the peak of Golden Immortal. Becoming an Ancestor Immortal would no longer be difficult.

To calm his shaken nerves, Lin Fan decided to rest here for the night. Today’s events had been extremely dangerous. If not for his quick thinking, he might have been defeated by that opponent.

Lin Fan had left the sect with the main goal of encountering powerful enemies, defeating them, and gaining massive experience.

The sect had provided him with locations where strong experts often gathered. Only by reaching those places could he encounter even stronger beings.

As Lin Fan rested,

In a distant space-time,

An old man held a crystalline immortal brush, writing on a divine silk that radiated holy light.

If any elder experts saw this old man, they would be astonished beyond belief.

This old man was clearly a descendant of “Wendao Tianjun.”

Though “Wendao Tianjun” might have been the weakest among the Tianjuns, nothing in heaven or earth escaped his sight.

The Divine Immortal Candidate List, Golden Immortal Rankings, and Ancestor Immortal Lists were all compiled by “Wendao Tianjun.”

After “Wendao Tianjun” perished, he infused his understanding of the laws into a brush and passed it down for future generations to record the events of the world.

The old man’s cultivation was unfathomable. Now, looking at the words on the silk, he was astonished.

“The candidate sect leader of the Celestial Sect, Lin Fan, has suppressed the life-bound immortal artifact Kunlun Divine Mountain of Tian Fengling, deputy sect leader of the Kunlun Divine Sect.”
