A few days later!
Holy Demon Peak was peaceful, serene, and devoid of visitors.
Lin Fan joining the Heaven and Earth Sect as an inner disciple had not caused any ripples or drawn any attention.
Over these past few days, Lin Fan had gradually learned about the situation in the Endless Continent.
The Nine Sects, Six Mansions, Three Caves, and Seventy-Two Gangs.
This was the power structure of the Endless Continent at the highest level. As for the smaller sects and factions, none of them were truly small.
Most of these minor sects and factions were offshoots established by disciples of major sects who had achieved success in their cultivation. Some of them were even quite formidable.
On this day,
Lin Fan stood on Holy Demon Peak, gazing up at the Heaven and Earth Sect.
There were ten thousand and eight such shattered peaks, resonating with heaven and earth.
The reason these peaks could float in the void was all because they harmonized with heaven and earth, generating a force that allowed them to float endlessly.
If it were maintained purely by magical power, that would be terrifying.
Moreover, no one would be so foolish as to keep shattered peaks suspended in the void for no reason.
Whoosh!
At that moment, a red-robed figure flew across the sky above Holy Demon Peak, then halted mid-air, as a voice rang out.
“Huh, didn’t expect someone to actually be residing on this broken peak.”
Lin Fan looked up. The red-clothed woman hovering above was handsome in appearance—not quite peerless beauty, but still quite attractive.
“What’s your name?”
Lin Fan looked up calmly, his expression calm. “Lin Fan. And you?”
“Su Hongchen.”
“My peak is right next to yours. From now on, we’re neighbors. Why don’t you come over and take a look at my peak?” Su Hongchen suggested.
Lin Fan thought for a moment. Since he had just joined the Heaven and Earth Sect, getting to know some people wouldn’t be a bad idea. If anything happened later, at least he wouldn’t be overlooked.
“Alright, I won’t refuse such a kind invitation,” Lin Fan nodded in agreement.
Whoosh!
Indeed, Su Hongchen’s peak was very close. Outside her peak, nine treasures orbited around the mountain, forming a unique formation that combined attack and defense—an impressive sight.
“This is the Nine-Child Linked Formation. These nine treasures are all mid-grade treasures, forming a unified whole. However, it lacks a central core. Otherwise, even a True Immortal expert would be unable to break through the defenses of my peak,” Su Hongchen said proudly.
Lin Fan nodded. The techniques of the Endless Continent were indeed far more advanced than those of the Ancient Holy World.
Treasures could be utilized to form specialized formations.
In the Ancient Holy World, treasures weren’t particularly useful. Even formations were rare, and few people used them to suppress enemies.
“This is my Red Dust Peak. After years of effort, it’s finally taking shape,” Su Hongchen said.
Penetrating the formation, they landed on the peak.
“The spiritual energy here is two to three times denser than outside,” Lin Fan remarked.
“Of course. Each shattered peak has its own unique formation drawing in spiritual energy from heaven and earth. After all, there are so many cultivators. Some cultivation techniques are extremely aggressive, capable of draining all spiritual energy within hundreds of miles. That would greatly affect us, so we usually draw in and store spiritual energy here,” Su Hongchen explained.
“I see,” Lin Fan nodded.
“I noticed your peak is just starting to be developed. Did you recently join the sect?” Su Hongchen asked.
“Mm,” Lin Fan nodded.
“If you have any questions, feel free to come ask me,” Su Hongchen offered.
As Su Hongchen watched Lin Fan wandering around the peak,
There were many disciples living here, and they all greeted Su Hongchen respectfully when they saw her.
A few days later!
The Saint Demon Peak was tranquil and serene, with no visitors in sight.
Lin Fan’s joining the Heaven and Earth Sect as an inner disciple had caused no ripple, and no one paid it any heed.
During these days, Lin Fan had also gained a general understanding of the situation in the Endless Continent.
Nine Sects, Six Mansions, Three Caverns, and Seventy-Two Gangs.
This was the distribution of power on the Endless Continent, representing the top echelons. As for the smaller sects and factions, they were not insignificant either.
Most of these smaller sects and factions were established by accomplished disciples of major sects as additional forces, and some of them were not to be underestimated.
On this day.
Lin Fan stood on the Saint Demon Peak, gazing up at the Heaven and Earth Sect.
There were ten thousand and eight such fragmented peaks, resonating with the heavens and the earth.
These fragmented peaks could float in the void because they resonated with the heavens and the earth, generating a force that allowed them to float endlessly.
If it were maintained by magical power, it would be terrifying.
Moreover, no one would be so idle as to float fragmented peaks in the void.
Whoosh!
At this moment, a figure in red passed over the Saint Demon Peak, then paused, and a voice came through.
“Huh, I didn’t expect someone to have taken up residence on this fragmented peak.”
Lin Fan looked up. The woman in red above the void was of fair appearance, though not of peerless beauty, she was still quite attractive.
“What’s your name?”
Lin Fan looked at the woman in red calmly, “Lin Fan, and you?”
“Su Hongchen.”
“My fragmented peak is right next to yours. From now on, we’ll be neighbors. Why not come to my peak and take a look?” Su Hongchen said.
Lin Fan thought about it. Having just entered the Heaven and Earth Sect, getting to know some people wouldn’t be a bad thing. If anything were to happen, he would be remembered.
“Alright, I’ll gladly accept your invitation,” Lin Fan nodded.
Whoosh!
Su Hongchen’s fragmented peak was indeed very close to his. Surrounding the peak were nine treasures, forming a unique array that combined offense and defense, which was quite impressive.
“This is the Nine-Linked Array. These nine treasures are all mid-grade treasures, forming a unified whole. However, it lacks a central core. Otherwise, even a True Immortal couldn’t break through the defense of my peak,” Su Hongchen said proudly.
Lin Fan nodded. The artifacts of the Endless Continent were indeed more advanced than those of the Ancient Saint World.
Treasures could be utilized to form unique arrays.
In the Ancient Saint World, the use of treasures was not significant, and arrays were rare, with few people using them to suppress enemies.
“This is my Red Dust Peak. After several years of effort, it has taken initial shape,” Su Hongchen said.
Passing through the array, they landed on the peak.
“The spiritual energy here is two to three times denser than that of the outside world,” Lin Fan remarked.
“Naturally, each fragmented peak has a unique array that draws in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. After all, there are too many cultivators, and some of their techniques are so domineering that they can drain the spiritual energy within a hundred miles. This has a significant impact on us, so we usually draw in spiritual energy and store it here,” Su Hongchen explained.
“I see,” Lin Fan nodded.
“I see that your peak is just starting to take shape. Did you recently join the sect?” Su Hongchen asked.
“Yes,” Lin Fan nodded.
“If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can come and ask me,” Su Hongchen said.
Su Hongchen watched as Lin Fan looked around the peak.
Many disciples lived here, and they all greeted Su Hongchen respectfully when they saw her.
“These are some miscellaneous disciples and outer disciples. I had them come over to tidy up the peak,” Su Hongchen seemed very enthusiastic, explaining many things to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan also noticed that Su Hongchen’s territory was quite well-developed. The herb garden was filled with various rare herbs.
In the forging room, some disciples were diligently refining materials, busy as bees.
If not for the size of the place, it could really be considered a small sect.
Lin Fan nodded. This time, he had indeed gained a lot of insight.
At this moment, several people stood outside the Red Dust Peak.
“I have friends coming,” Su Hongchen sensed the situation outside the array and waved her sleeve, opening a passage in the array.
Several figures landed.
“Hongchen, who is this?” A burly man with a tiger-like back and bear-like waist looked at Lin Fan with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
“This is Lin Fan, who just joined the sect. His fragmented peak is next to mine.”
“This is Hu Qing, the master of the Tiger Saint Peak.”
Then Su Hongchen introduced the other two to Lin Fan.
One of them had a strong aura of weaponry, the young master of a forging family, Bing Linxing.
The other was dressed like a scholar, with a scholarly air between his brows, Ru Wanshu.
Lin Fan clasped his hands in salute. The cultivation levels of these people were not bad, all at the Ancient Realm.
“Hongchen, we came this time to form a team and explore the Abyssal Demon Cave. Are you in?” Hu Qing asked.
“Sure, the Abyssal Demon Cave is extremely dangerous, but it also holds many benefits. If we form a team, as long as we don’t venture into the deeper areas, we should be fine,” Su Hongchen said.
Lin Fan had some knowledge of the Abyssal Demon Cave.
It was an underground world with entrances scattered across the Endless Continent.
Inside, there were many ferocious creatures, but generally, those ferocious creatures were in the deeper areas. As long as one didn’t provoke them, there usually wouldn’t be any problems.
“Brother Lin, are you coming?” Su Hongchen asked.
Lin Fan was slightly taken aback. He hadn’t expected Su Hongchen to actively invite him, which surprised him.
But then he thought, if he could really go, it would be the best.
The fastest way for him to improve his cultivation was to slay powerful beings. If he could go to the Abyssal Demon Cave, it would be a great opportunity.
“Alright,” Lin Fan nodded in agreement.
“Wait, Hongchen, how strong is this guy? We don’t want him dragging us down. This time, it’s not just the few of us entering the Abyssal Demon Cave,” Hu Qing said.
“Who else is going?” Su Hongchen asked in surprise.
“From what I know, Jian Fengchen has already led people into the Abyssal Demon Cave, and so has Tianhai Gongzi…” Hu Qing said, then looked at Lin Fan.
“It’s not that you can’t go, but let me test your strength first.”
Suddenly, Hu Qing spread his fingers, forming a tiger claw, and grabbed towards Lin Fan’s shoulder.
The void cracked with a bang, the tiger claw seemed to tear through heaven and earth, the fierce wind howling, causing those nearby to step back.
Being so close, they could feel the fierce wind striking their faces, causing a faint pain.
Lin Fan simply raised his hand, without any extra moves, and caught the claw.
“Huh?” Hu Qing was stunned. The fierce magical power within his body suddenly solidified, as if it had been frozen, and he felt a sense of fracture.
“Thank you for your mercy,” Lin Fan smiled faintly, not taking the matter to heart at all.
Su Hongchen was slightly surprised. She hadn’t expected this person’s strength to be so formidable, which was beyond her expectations.
Lin Fan also noticed that Su Hongchen’s territory was quite well-developed. The medicinal garden was filled with various rare herbs.
In the forging hall, disciples were busily refining materials, clearly very occupied.
If not for the limited size, this place could truly be considered a small sect.
Lin Fan nodded. This visit had indeed broadened his horizons.
At that moment, several figures stood outside Red Dust Peak.
“I have some friends coming,” Su Hongchen sensed the disturbance outside the formation. With a flick of her sleeve, the formation split open, creating a passage.
Several figures descended.
“Redchen, who is this?” A broad-shouldered, muscular man looked at Lin Fan, his eyes filled with slight curiosity.
“This is Lin Fan, a new sect member. His shattered peak is right next to mine.”
“This is Hu Qing, the master of Tiger Saint Peak.”
Then Su Hongchen introduced the other two to Lin Fan.
One of them exuded a strong martial aura—the young master of a renowned forging family, Bing Linxing.
The other wore scholar’s robes, exuding a refined, scholarly aura—Ru Wanshu.
Lin Fan clasped his fists together. These people all had impressive cultivation bases, at the Ancient God Realm level.
“Redchen, we came today because we’re planning a team expedition into the Abyssal Demon Cave. Are you interested in joining?” Hu Qing asked.
“Sure. Although the Abyssal Demon Cave is dangerous, it also holds great rewards. If we go as a team and avoid the deeper areas, there shouldn’t be any problems,” Su Hongchen replied.
Lin Fan had some knowledge about the Abyssal Demon Cave.
It was an underground world, with entrances scattered throughout the Endless Continent.
Inside, there were many fierce creatures, but generally, the most dangerous ones resided in the deeper regions. As long as one didn’t provoke them, there wouldn’t be much trouble.
“Brother Lin, would you like to come along?” Su Hongchen turned to ask Lin Fan.
Lin Fan was slightly taken aback. He hadn’t expected Su Hongchen to invite him along, which surprised him a little.
But thinking about it, if he really could go, that would be even better.
The fastest way for him to improve his cultivation was by defeating powerful opponents. If he could go to the Abyssal Demon Cave, that would be exactly what he was hoping for.
“Alright,” Lin Fan nodded in agreement.
“Wait a moment, Redchen. What’s his strength like? Don’t bring someone who’ll just slow us down. This expedition into the Abyssal Demon Cave won’t only involve us,” Hu Qing said.
“Who else will be going?” Su Hongchen asked in surprise.
A few days later!
The Sacred Demon Peak remained tranquil and serene, untouched by visitors.
Lin Fan’s entry into the Heaven and Earth Sect as an inner disciple caused no ripple, and no one paid it any mind.
During these days, Lin Fan had also gained a rough understanding of the Endless Continent.
Nine Sects, Six Mansions, Three Caves, and Seventy-Two Gangs.
This was the distribution of power on the Endless Continent, representing the top echelons. As for the smaller sects and factions, they were not insignificant either.
Most of these smaller sects and factions were additional forces developed by disciples of major sects who had achieved some success in their cultivation. Some of them were not to be underestimated.
On this day.
Lin Fan stood on the Sacred Demon Peak, gazing up at the Heaven and Earth Sect.
There were ten thousand and eight such fragmented peaks, resonating with the heavens and the earth.
These fragmented peaks floated in the void, all because they resonated with the heavens and the earth, generating a force that allowed them to float endlessly.
If it were maintained by magical power, it would be terrifying.
And no one would be so idle as to make fragmented peaks float in the void.
Whoosh!
At this moment, a figure in red robes passed over the Sacred Demon Peak, then paused, and a voice came through.
“Huh, I didn’t expect someone to have taken up residence on this fragmented peak.”
Lin Fan looked up. The woman in red robes above the void was quite beautiful, though not a peerless beauty, she was still attractive.
“What’s your name?”
Lin Fan looked at the woman in red calmly, “Lin Fan, and you?”
“Su Hongchen.”
“My fragmented peak is right next to yours. From now on, we’ll be neighbors. Why don’t you come and take a look at my peak?” Su Hongchen suggested.
Lin Fan thought about it. As a newcomer to the Heaven and Earth Sect, getting to know some people wouldn’t hurt. If anything happened, he might be remembered.
“Alright, I’ll take you up on that,” Lin Fan nodded.
Whoosh!
Su Hongchen’s fragmented peak was indeed very close to his. Surrounding the peak were nine treasures, forming a unique array that combined offense and defense, which was quite impressive.
“This is the Nine-Linked Array. These nine treasures are all mid-grade treasures, forming a whole. However, it’s missing a core. Otherwise, even a True Immortal wouldn’t be able to break through the defense of my peak,” Su Hongchen said proudly.
Lin Fan nodded. The things on the Endless Continent were indeed more advanced than those in the Ancient Saint World.
Treasures could be used to form unique arrays.
In the Ancient Saint World, the use of treasures was limited, and arrays were rare. Few people used them to suppress enemies.
“This is my Red Dust Peak. After several years of effort, it’s finally taking shape,” Su Hongchen said.
They passed through the array and landed on the peak.
“The spiritual energy here is two to three times denser than outside,” Lin Fan remarked.
“Of course. Each fragmented peak has a unique array that draws in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. After all, there are too many cultivators. Some cultivation techniques are so domineering that they can drain the spiritual energy within a hundred-mile radius. This affects us greatly, so we usually gather and store the spiritual energy here,” Su Hongchen explained.
“I see,” Lin Fan nodded.
“I noticed that your peak is just starting to take shape. Did you recently join the sect?” Su Hongchen asked.
“Yes,” Lin Fan nodded.
“If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can always ask me,” Su Hongchen offered.
Su Hongchen watched as Lin Fan looked around the peak.
Many disciples lived here, and they all greeted Su Hongchen respectfully when they saw her.
“These are some of the outer disciples and servant disciples. I have them come over to maintain the peak,” Su Hongchen explained, seemingly very enthusiastic, as she introduced many things to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan also noticed that Su Hongchen’s territory was quite well-developed. The herb garden was filled with various rare medicinal plants.
In the refining room, some disciples were busy extracting materials, working tirelessly.
If not for the size of the place, it could almost be considered a small sect.
Lin Fan nodded. This time, he had indeed gained a lot of insight.
At this moment, a few people stood outside the Red Dust Peak.
“I have some friends here,” Su Hongchen sensed the situation outside the array and waved her sleeve, opening a passage in the array.
Several figures landed.
“Hongchen, who is this?” A burly man with a tiger-like build looked at Lin Fan, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
“This is Lin Fan, who just joined the sect. His fragmented peak is next to mine.”
“This is Hu Qing, the master of the Tiger Saint Peak.”
Su Hongchen then introduced the other two to Lin Fan.
One of them had a strong aura of weaponry, a young master from a forging family, Bing Linxing.
The other was dressed like a scholar, with a scholarly aura, Ru Wanshu.
Lin Fan clasped his hands in greeting. These people’s cultivation levels were quite good, all at the Ancient Realm.
“Hongchen, we’re here to invite you to join us in exploring the Earth Abyss Demon Cave. Are you in?” Hu Qing asked.
“Sure. Although the Earth Abyss Demon Cave is extremely dangerous, there are also many benefits. If we team up, as long as we don’t venture too deep, we should be fine,” Su Hongchen said.
Lin Fan had some knowledge of the Earth Abyss Demon Cave.
It was an underground world, with entrances scattered across the Endless Continent.
Inside, there were many ferocious creatures, but they were usually deep within. As long as one didn’t provoke them, there shouldn’t be any problems.
“Brother Lin, are you coming?” Su Hongchen asked.
Lin Fan was slightly taken aback. He hadn’t expected Su Hongchen to invite him directly, which surprised him.
But then he thought, if he could go, it would be the best opportunity.
The fastest way for him to improve his cultivation was by slaying powerful beings. If he could enter the Earth Abyss Demon Cave, it would be a perfect chance.
“Alright,” Lin Fan nodded in agreement.
“Wait, Hongchen, how strong is this guy? We don’t want him dragging us down. This time, it’s not just us entering the Earth Abyss Demon Cave,” Hu Qing said.
“Who else is going?” Su Hongchen asked in surprise.
“From what I know, Jian Fengchen has already led people into the Earth Abyss Demon Cave, and so has Tianhai Gongzi…” Hu Qing said, then turned to Lin Fan.
“If you want to go, that’s fine, but first let me test your strength.”
Suddenly, Hu Qing’s fingers spread out, forming a tiger claw, and he grabbed towards Lin Fan’s shoulder.
The void cracked with a bang, and the tiger claw seemed to tear through the heavens and the earth, with fierce winds howling. The people around them quickly stepped back.
Being so close, they could feel the wind striking their faces, causing a slight pain.
Lin Fan simply raised his hand, without any extra movements, and caught the claw.
“Huh?” Hu Qing was stunned. The fierce magical power within him suddenly solidified, as if it had been frozen, and he felt a sense of fracture.
“I concede,” Lin Fan smiled faintly, not taking the matter to heart at all.
Su Hongchen was slightly surprised. She hadn’t expected this person’s strength to be so formidable, which was beyond her expectations.
“If you really want to go, I can test your strength first.”
Suddenly, Hu Qing spread his fingers, forming a tiger claw, and struck toward Lin Fan’s shoulder.
The void cracked with a loud sound, as if the claw could tear through heaven and earth, with raging gales howling. The surrounding people hastily retreated.
Even standing at a distance, they could feel the wind from the strike hitting their faces, causing a faint pain.
Lin Fan simply raised his hand in an ordinary manner, without any fancy moves, and caught the claw barehanded.
“Huh?” Hu Qing was taken aback. The fierce magical energy within his body suddenly solidified, as if something had frozen it, even giving a sensation of breaking.
“Please accept my congratulations,” Lin Fan smiled calmly, clearly not taking the matter seriously.
Su Hongchen was slightly startled. She hadn’t expected this person’s strength to be so formidable—completely beyond her expectations.
