Lin Fan had been waiting outside for quite a while and was beginning to grow impatient.
What the hell is Qing Yangzi up to? Still hasn’t come out yet.
At this moment, Qing Yangzi’s figure appeared within Lin Fan’s line of sight.
Lin Fan had been waiting outside for a long time and was growing impatient.
What on earth was Qing Yangzi up to? Why hadn’t he come out yet?
Just then, Qing Yangzi’s figure appeared in Lin Fan’s line of sight.
Along the way, Qing Yangzi had been cursing and swearing at the Fire Elder’s entire family. However, as he approached Lin Fan, his expression suddenly changed, and a joyous smile spread across his face.
“Everything’s settled. You’re now an inner disciple. You know, when the Sect Master heard about your extraordinary talent, he was so excited that he immediately assigned you as an inner disciple, granting you a Shattered Peak,” Qing Yangzi said excitedly.
The disciples nearby were slightly stunned.
An inner disciple?
While being an inner disciple was certainly good, they all knew that this junior brother was a prodigy.
With the strength of the Ancient Realm’s high stage, he could suppress an early-stage True Immortal Realm cultivator. How domineering was that?
Had the Sect Master’s brain been shot or something?
Such a disciple, and yet he wasn’t given the position of a Divine Son?
Of course, this was just a thought. If they actually voiced it, they’d be dead meat.
Seeing that Elder Qing Yangzi’s expression remained calm and he was acting all excited, they naturally understood that the elder was trying to fool Lin Fan into believing how precious the position of an inner disciple was.
“Inner disciple?” Lin Fan was somewhat puzzled, but seeing the envious looks on the faces of those around him, he felt quite pleased.
It seemed that being an inner disciple was quite impressive.
Well, it was fitting for his status.
“Congratulations, Senior Brother Lin, on becoming an inner disciple,” Li Qing said, cupping his fists.
Although Lin Fan had joined the sect later, his cultivation level was higher, and his status surpassed theirs, so it was only natural to address him as senior brother.
“No need for formalities,” Lin Fan smiled and cupped his fists in return.
“Come, let’s go pick a Shattered Peak for you,” Qing Yangzi said with a smile.
But in his heart, he was still cursing the Sect Master.
If you don’t believe me, fine. I’m not young anymore, and my talent is somewhat limited. But this time, I’ll go all out and nurture this prodigy, slapping all of you in the face.
Especially that Fire Elder, who had infuriated Qing Yangzi to no end.
That damn Fire Elder brought back some kid, claiming he had discovered him by chance. Who knows if it’s his illegitimate child? It’s all so infuriating.
Not long after.
Lin Fan, Qing Yangzi, and the others were floating in the void.
In the vast expanse before them, countless Shattered Peaks drifted in the sky, each one unique in shape and form. On each peak stood a palace.
The unoccupied palaces looked ordinary, with nothing particularly special about them.
But the peaks that were already inhabited radiated intense spiritual energy, with various lights swirling around them.
“There are so many,” Lin Fan noticed that there were already quite a few occupied peaks, numbering in the thousands, if not tens of thousands.
So, being an inner disciple wasn’t that rare after all.
“Yes, there are many Shattered Peaks. Look down there, that’s where the outer disciples reside,” Qing Yangzi pointed out.
Lin Fan glanced down and frowned slightly. “It’s so crowded.”
“And down there, those are the servant disciples,” Qing Yangzi pointed again.
Lin Fan looked again and felt a pang of pity. The houses were simple and crammed together, not even comparable to the Xuanhuang Realm.
“What’s over there?” Lin Fan pointed to a distant area where ten towering peaks stood, majestic and awe-inspiring. Around these peaks, countless magical treasures floated, and streams of colorful light flowed out. Countless rainbows seemed to bow to the peaks, as if they were something extraordinary.
Qing Yangzi’s expression changed slightly when he saw those peaks, but he quickly regained his composure and said, “Oh, that’s nothing. Just the descendants of the sect’s higher-ups, the second generation. They’re all useless, just a bunch of good-for-nothings.”
Li Qing’s heart skipped a beat when he heard the elder’s words.
The elder was being too bold. Those peaks were where the sect’s Divine Sons resided.
And these Divine Sons were not to be trifled with. If they heard the elder speaking like this, they might very well challenge him to a fight.
Although Qing Yangzi was an elder, he was only in charge of disciple selection and didn’t hold much power within the sect.
Even these Divine Sons had more authority than Qing Yangzi.
“Oh, so even in the sect, there are second-generation members who got in through connections,” Lin Fan nodded, feeling that these places were quite impressive.
“Let’s not talk about that. Pick one. If you find one you like, let me know, and I’ll arrange it for you,” Qing Yangzi changed the subject, clearly not wanting to dwell on it.
Lin Fan had joined the Heaven and Earth Sect not for comfort but to improve his cultivation.
The supreme beings and demon gods in the secret realm were still waiting for him to rescue them.
“That one over there,” Lin Fan pointed to a peak in the distance.
“Alright,” Qing Yangzi nodded, took out a jade talisman, and infused it with spiritual energy. The talisman suddenly emitted a beam of light that enveloped the Shattered Peak. The peak then seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and slowly floated toward Lin Fan and the others.
“Activate!”
A stream of energy swept over the peak, washing away all the dust from the buildings. The withered plants and trees seemed to regain their vitality, flourishing once more.
“Keep this safe. From now on, this Shattered Peak is yours. Give it a name,” Qing Yangzi said.
“Let’s call it the Saint Demon Peak,” Lin Fan said.
“Saint Demon Peak? That’s a good name. Two supreme forces, encompassing everything. You’re destined for greatness,” Qing Yangzi said with a smile.
Lin Fan walked into the building. It wasn’t large, but it had everything he needed.
An alchemy room, a forging room, a cultivation room, a spiritual herb garden, and so on.
“How is it? Not bad, right? Let me tell you, the benefits of being an inner disciple are quite substantial,” Qing Yangzi said with a smile.
“It’s not bad,” Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction. The treatment of an inner disciple was indeed quite good.
“Then you can rest for now. Later, I’ll have someone bring you the sect’s resources,” Qing Yangzi said.
“Alright.”
…
Qing Yangzi and the others left the Shattered Peak.
“Elder, Senior Brother Lin has unparalleled potential. Why didn’t the Sect Master give him the position of a Divine Son?” Li Qing asked, puzzled.
“Don’t mention it. A wild card appeared out of nowhere. That Fire Elder somehow found a mutated Heaven and Earth Fire Spirit, and the Sect Master’s attention was completely drawn to it.”
“And there are only ten positions for Divine Sons. Originally, there was one vacancy, and there was still some hope. But who could have expected this to happen?” Qing Yangzi said.
“What a pity,” Li Qing said.
“Let’s go prepare his resources,” Qing Yangzi thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth. This time, he would go all out. The prodigy he had discovered couldn’t be allowed to sink into obscurity.
No matter what, he would help him grow.
He would stake everything he had, and in the future, he would make sure they all realized that not giving Lin Fan the position of a Divine Son was a grave mistake.
In the entire sect, only he, Qing Yangzi, had the clearest vision.
Li Qing didn’t know what resources Qing Yangzi was preparing for Lin Fan, but when he saw the elder’s determined expression, he was completely stunned.
“It’s all settled! You’re now an inner sect disciple. Do you know what? When the Sect Leader heard about your extraordinary talent, he was so excited he couldn’t contain himself. Immediately, he assigned you as an inner sect disciple, and you’re entitled to your own shattered peak,” Qing Yangzi said excitedly.
The disciples standing nearby were slightly taken aback.
Inner sect disciple?
Although being an inner sect disciple was quite good, they all knew that this junior apprentice was a prodigy.
With only the strength of an Ancient Realm expert, he managed to suppress a True Immortal Realm opponent. How domineering was that?
Could it be that the Sect Leader had been shot in the head?
Wouldn’t such a disciple even be given the position of a divine son?
Of course, this was just something they could think, not say out loud. If they did, they’d be struck down for sure.
Seeing Qing Yangzi’s normal expression and pretending to be excited, they naturally understood that the elder was just trying to fool Lin Fan, making him realize how precious the position of an inner sect disciple was.
“Inner sect disciple?” Lin Fan was a bit puzzled, but seeing the envious expressions on the faces of those around him, he felt pretty good about it.
Looks like being an inner sect disciple is quite impressive.
Well then, I suppose it’s decent compensation for my status.
“Congratulations, Senior Lin, on becoming an inner sect disciple,” Li Qing said, bowing.
Although Lin Fan had joined the sect later, his cultivation was high, and his status surpassed theirs, so naturally, they addressed him as “senior.”
“My thanks,” Lin Fan smiled and returned the bow.
“Come on, let me take you to choose a shattered peak,” Qing Yangzi said with a smile.
But deep down, he was still grumbling about the Sect Leader.
If you guys don’t believe in me, fine. I’m not young anymore, and my talent is limited. Since that’s the case, I’ll take a gamble this time and cultivate this prodigy properly, so I can slap all of your faces.
Lin Fan had been waiting outside for a long time and was growing impatient.
What on earth was Qing Yangzi up to? He still hadn’t come out.
At that moment, Qing Yangzi’s figure finally appeared in Lin Fan’s line of sight.
Along the way, Qing Yangzi had been cursing under his breath, venting his anger at the Fire Elder’s entire family. But as he approached Lin Fan, his expression suddenly changed, and a beaming smile spread across his face.
“Everything’s settled. You’re now an inner disciple. You know, when the sect leader heard about your extraordinary talent, he was so excited he couldn’t contain himself. He immediately assigned you as an inner disciple, granting you a Shattered Peak,” Qing Yangzi said excitedly.
The disciples nearby were slightly stunned.

While being an inner disciple was certainly good, they all knew that this junior brother was a prodigy.

Of course, this was just a thought. If they actually voiced it out loud, they’d probably be struck dead.
Seeing that Elder Qing Yangzi’s expression remained calm and he was acting all excited, they naturally understood that the elder was trying to fool Lin Fan into believing how precious the position of an inner disciple was.
“Inner disciple?” Lin Fan was a bit puzzled, but seeing the envious looks on the faces of those around him, he felt quite pleased.

Although Lin Fan had joined the sect later, his cultivation was higher, and his status surpassed theirs, so it was only natural to address him as senior brother.
“You’re too kind,” Lin Fan replied with a smile, cupping his fists in return.
“Come on, let’s go pick a Shattered Peak for you,” Qing Yangzi said with a smile.
But in his heart, he was still cursing the sect leader.
If you don’t believe me, fine. I’m not young anymore, and my talent is somewhat limited. But this time, I’m going all out to nurture this prodigy and thoroughly slap all of you in the face.
Especially that Fire Elder, who had infuriated Qing Yangzi to no end.
That damn Fire Bastard, the thing he brought back—who knows if it’s his illegitimate child? He claimed he found it by accident. What a load of crap.
Not long after.
Lin Fan, Qing Yangzi, and the others were floating in the void.
Before them, scattered across the sky, were countless Shattered Peaks, each one unique in shape and form. On every peak stood a palace.
The unoccupied palaces looked ordinary, nothing special about them.
But the peaks that were already inhabited radiated intense spiritual energy, with various lights swirling around them.
“There are so many,” Lin Fan remarked, noticing that there were already thousands, if not tens of thousands, of occupied peaks.
So, being an inner disciple wasn’t that valuable after all.
“Yes, there are many Shattered Peaks. Look down there—that’s where the outer disciples reside,” Qing Yangzi pointed out.
Lin Fan glanced down and frowned slightly. “It’s so crowded.”
“And down there, that’s where the servant disciples live,” Qing Yangzi pointed again.
Lin Fan looked again. It was a bit pitiful—simple houses crammed together, not even comparable to the Xuanhuang Realm.
“What’s over there?” Lin Fan pointed to a distant area where ten towering peaks stood, majestic and awe-inspiring. Around these peaks, countless magical artifacts swirled, and radiant lights flowed out. Numerous rainbows seemed to bow before the peaks, as if they were something extraordinary.
Qing Yangzi’s expression changed slightly when he saw those peaks, but he quickly regained his composure. “Oh, that’s nothing. Just the descendants of the sect’s higher-ups, the second generation. Useless, all of them.”
Li Qing’s heart skipped a beat when he heard the elder say this.
The elder was being too bold. Those peaks were where the sect’s Divine Sons resided.
And these Divine Sons were not to be trifled with. If they heard the elder speaking like this, they might very well challenge him to a fight.
Although Qing Yangzi was an elder, he was only in charge of disciple selection and didn’t hold much power within the sect.
Even these Divine Sons had more authority than Qing Yangzi.
“Oh, so even in the sect, there are second-generation heirs pulling strings,” Lin Fan nodded, feeling that these places were quite impressive.
“Let’s not talk about that. Pick one. If you find one you like, let me know, and I’ll arrange it for you,” Qing Yangzi changed the subject, clearly not wanting to dwell on it.
Lin Fan had joined the Heaven and Earth Sect not for comfort but to improve his cultivation.
The supreme beings and demon gods in the secret realm were still waiting for him to rescue them.
“That one,” Lin Fan pointed to a peak in front of him.
“Alright,” Qing Yangzi nodded, taking out a jade talisman. He infused it with spiritual energy, and the talisman suddenly emitted a light that enveloped the Shattered Peak. The peak then seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, slowly floating toward Lin Fan and the others.
“Activate!”
A thin stream of energy swept over the peak, cleaning off all the dust from the buildings. The withered plants and trees seemed to regain their vitality, flourishing once more.
“Keep this safe. From now on, this Shattered Peak is yours. Give it a name,” Qing Yangzi said.
“Let’s call it the Saint Demon Peak,” Lin Fan said.
“Saint Demon Peak? That’s a good name. Two supreme paths, encompassing all. You’re destined for greatness,” Qing Yangzi said with a smile.
Lin Fan walked into the building. It wasn’t large, but it had everything he needed.
An alchemy room, a forging room, a cultivation room, a spiritual herb garden, and so on.
“How is it? Not bad, right? Let me tell you, the benefits of being an inner disciple are quite substantial,” Qing Yangzi said with a smile.
“Not bad at all,” Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction. The treatment of an inner disciple was indeed good.
“You rest well for now. I’ll have someone bring you the sect’s items later,” Qing Yangzi said.
“Alright.”
…
Qing Yangzi and the others left the Shattered Peak.
“Elder, Senior Brother Lin’s potential is unparalleled. Why didn’t the sect leader grant him the position of a Divine Son?” Li Qing asked, puzzled.
“Don’t mention it. A wild card appeared out of nowhere. That Fire Elder somehow found a mutated Heaven and Earth Fire Spirit, and the sect leader’s attention was completely drawn to it.”
“And there are only ten positions for Divine Sons. There was one vacancy, so there was still some hope, but who could have expected this to happen?” Qing Yangzi said.
“What a pity,” Li Qing said.
“Let’s go prepare his things,” Qing Yangzi thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth. This time, he was going all out. The prodigy he had discovered couldn’t be allowed to sink into obscurity.
No matter what, he had to help him grow.
He would bet everything he had, and in the future, he would make sure they realized that not granting Lin Fan the position of a Divine Son was a grave mistake.
He was the only one in the entire sect who truly saw the light.
Li Qing didn’t know what Qing Yangzi was preparing for Lin Fan, but seeing the elder’s determined expression, he was completely stunned.
Lin Fan had been waiting outside for a long time, growing increasingly impatient.
What on earth was Qing Yangzi up to? Why hadn’t he come out yet?
Just then, Qing Yangzi’s figure appeared in Lin Fan’s line of sight.
As he walked, Qing Yangzi was muttering curses, berating the entire family of Elder Huo. However, as he approached Lin Fan, his expression suddenly shifted, and a beaming smile spread across his face.
“Everything’s settled. You’re now an inner disciple. You know, when the sect leader heard about your extraordinary talent, he was so thrilled that he immediately promoted you to the inner sect. You’ll even have your own Shattered Peak,” Qing Yangzi said excitedly.
The disciples nearby were momentarily stunned.
An inner disciple?
While being an inner disciple was certainly commendable, they all knew that this junior brother was a prodigy.
With his high-level Ancient Realm cultivation, he had suppressed an early-stage True Immortal Realm cultivator. Such dominance was unparalleled.
Had the sect leader lost his mind?
How could such a disciple not be granted the position of a Divine Son?
Of course, these were just thoughts. If they were to voice them out loud, they’d surely be struck dead.
Seeing Elder Qing Yangzi’s calm demeanor and enthusiastic expression, they understood that the elder was trying to make Lin Fan realize how precious the position of an inner disciple was.
“Inner disciple?” Lin Fan was somewhat puzzled, but seeing the envious looks from those around him, he felt rather pleased.
It seemed that being an inner disciple was quite impressive.
Well, it was fitting for his status.
“Congratulations, Senior Brother Lin, on becoming an inner disciple,” Li Qing said, clasping his fists in respect.
Although Lin Fan had joined the sect later, his cultivation was higher, and his status surpassed theirs. Naturally, they addressed him as senior brother.
“You’re too kind,” Lin Fan replied with a smile, returning the gesture.
“Come, let’s go pick a Shattered Peak for you,” Qing Yangzi said with a smile.
But in his heart, he was still cursing the sect leader.
If you don’t believe in me, fine. I’m not young anymore, and my talent is limited. But this time, I’ll go all out to nurture this prodigy and thoroughly embarrass all of you.
Especially Elder Huo, who infuriated Qing Yangzi to no end.
That damn Huo, bringing back some random thing, claiming it was something he stumbled upon. It’s probably his illegitimate child. What a load of nonsense.
Not long after.
Lin Fan, Qing Yangzi, and the others were floating in the void.
Before them, scattered across the sky, were countless Shattered Peaks, each with its own unique shape and a palace perched atop it.
The uninhabited peaks appeared ordinary, with nothing particularly remarkable about them.
However, the peaks that were already occupied radiated intense spiritual energy, with various lights swirling around them.
“There are so many,” Lin Fan remarked, noticing that a significant number of peaks were already claimed—at least thousands, if not tens of thousands.
So, being an inner disciple wasn’t that special after all.
“Indeed, there are many Shattered Peaks. Look down there—that’s where the outer disciples reside,” Qing Yangzi pointed out.
Lin Fan glanced down and frowned slightly. “It’s so crowded.”
“And down there, that’s where the servant disciples live,” Qing Yangzi added, pointing again.
Lin Fan looked again and felt a pang of pity. The houses were simple and crammed together, not even comparable to the Xuanhuang Realm.
“What’s over there?” Lin Fan asked, pointing to a distant area where ten towering peaks stood, majestic and awe-inspiring. Around these peaks, countless magical artifacts floated, and radiant lights swirled around them. Numerous rainbows seemed to bow before the peaks, as if paying homage.
Qing Yangzi’s expression changed slightly when he saw those peaks, but he quickly composed himself and said nonchalantly, “Oh, that’s nothing. Just the descendants of the sect’s higher-ups. Second-generation brats, all useless.”
Li Qing’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing the elder’s words.
The elder was being too bold. Those peaks were where the sect’s Divine Sons resided.
And these Divine Sons were not to be trifled with. If they heard the elder speaking like this, they might very well challenge him to a duel.
Although Qing Yangzi was an elder, he was only in charge of disciple selection and held little authority within the sect.
Even these Divine Sons had more say than Qing Yangzi.
“Ah, so even in the sect, there are second-generation brats who get in through connections,” Lin Fan nodded, feeling that those places were quite impressive.
“Enough of that. Pick one. If you find one you like, let me know, and I’ll arrange it for you,” Qing Yangzi changed the subject, clearly not wanting to dwell on it.
Lin Fan had joined the Heaven and Earth Sect not for comfort but to improve his cultivation.
The supreme beings and demon gods in the secret realm were still waiting for him to rescue them.
“That one,” Lin Fan pointed to a peak in the distance.
“Alright,” Qing Yangzi nodded, taking out a jade talisman. He infused it with spiritual energy, and the talisman emitted a beam of light that enveloped the Shattered Peak. The peak then seemed to be drawn toward them, slowly floating over.
“Activate!”
A stream of energy swept over the peak, cleansing the dust from its structures. The withered plants and trees seemed to regain their vitality, flourishing once more.
“Keep this safe. From now on, this Shattered Peak is yours. Give it a name,” Qing Yangzi said.
“Let’s call it the Saint Demon Peak,” Lin Fan said.
“Saint Demon Peak? That’s a good name. Combining the two supreme paths, encompassing all. You’re destined for greatness,” Qing Yangzi said with a smile.
Lin Fan entered the building. It wasn’t large, but it had everything he needed.
An alchemy room, a forging room, a cultivation chamber, a spiritual herb garden, and more…
“How is it? Not bad, right? Let me tell you, the benefits of being an inner disciple are quite substantial,” Qing Yangzi said with a smile.
“It’s not bad,” Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction. The treatment of an inner disciple was indeed good.
“You rest here for now. I’ll have someone bring you the sect’s items later,” Qing Yangzi said.
“Alright.”
…
Qing Yangzi and the others left the Shattered Peak.
“Elder, Senior Brother Lin has such immense potential. Why didn’t the sect leader grant him the position of a Divine Son?” Li Qing asked, puzzled.

In the entire sect, only he, Qing Yangzi, had the clearest vision.
Li Qing didn’t know what Qing Yangzi was preparing for Lin Fan, but seeing the elder’s determined expression, he was utterly stunned.
Not long after.
Lin Fan and Qing Yangzi floated in the void.
Before them, countless shattered peaks floated in the sky. These peaks were of all shapes and sizes, each with a palace on top.
The palaces on unoccupied peaks looked ordinary, showing no signs of anything special.
However, the shattered peaks that were already occupied radiated thick spiritual energy, with various lights entwining around them.
“So many!” Lin Fan noticed that quite a few peaks were already occupied—at least several thousand, maybe even tens of thousands.
Then, being an inner sect disciple wasn’t worth much at all.
“Yes, there are many shattered peaks. Look down there; that’s where the outer sect disciples live,” Qing Yangzi pointed out.
Lin Fan looked down and frowned slightly, “So crowded.”
“Look further down there; those are the servant disciples,” Qing Yangzi pointed again.
Lin Fan looked once more. This was truly pitiful—simple houses, cramped together, not even comparable to the Xuan Huang World.
“What about over there?” Lin Fan pointed toward a distant direction where ten towering mountains reached the heavens, exuding a vast and solemn aura. Around these peaks, countless magical treasures swirled, emitting colorful lights, while countless rainbows bowed toward the mountains, as if they were something extraordinary.
When Qing Yangzi saw those peaks, his expression slightly changed, but he quickly returned to normal and said casually, “Nothing much there—just the second-generation descendants of the sect’s high-ranking officials. They’re useless, all of them.”
Li Qing’s heart pounded nervously upon hearing the elder’s words.
The elder was too bold. Those peaks were where the sect’s divine sons resided.
Moreover, these divine sons were not easy to bully. If they heard the elder’s words, they might very well confront him.
Although Qing Yangzi was an elder, he was merely in charge of disciple selection and held little power within the sect.
Even these divine sons had more authority than Qing Yangzi.
“Oh, I see. Even within the sect, there are second-generation nobles who got their positions through backdoor connections,” Lin Fan nodded, feeling that these places were quite decent.
“Let’s not talk about that anymore. Choose one, and if you find one you like, let me know. I’ll arrange it for you,” Qing Yangzi changed the subject, clearly unwilling to dwell on the topic further.
Lin Fan had entered the Heaven and Earth Sect not for comfort but to enhance his cultivation.
Lin Fan had been waiting outside for a long time and was growing impatient.
What on earth was Qing Yangzi up to? Why hadn’t he come out yet?
Just then, Qing Yangzi’s figure appeared in Lin Fan’s line of sight.
Along the way, Qing Yangzi was cursing incessantly, venting his anger at the Fire Elder’s entire family. But as he approached Lin Fan, his expression suddenly changed, and a joyful smile spread across his face.
“Everything’s settled. You’re now an inner disciple. You know, when the Sect Master heard about your extraordinary talent, he was so excited that he immediately promoted you to an inner disciple. You’ll even get your own Shattered Peak,” Qing Yangzi said excitedly.
The disciples nearby were slightly stunned.
An inner disciple?
While being an inner disciple was certainly good, they all knew that this junior brother in front of them was a prodigy.
With the strength of the Ancient Realm’s high stage, he could suppress someone at the early stage of the True Immortal Realm. How domineering was that?

Of course, this was just a thought. If they actually said it out loud, they’d probably be struck dead.

“Inner disciple?” Lin Fan was a bit puzzled, but seeing the envious looks on the faces of those around him, he felt quite pleased.
It seemed that being an inner disciple was quite impressive.
Well, it was fitting for someone of his status.
“Congratulations, Senior Brother Lin, on becoming an inner disciple,” Li Qing said, cupping his fists.
Although Lin Fan had joined the sect later, his cultivation level was high, and his status was above theirs, so it was only natural to address him as senior brother.
“You’re too kind,” Lin Fan replied with a smile, cupping his fists in return.
“Come, let’s go pick a Shattered Peak for you,” Qing Yangzi said with a smile.
But in his heart, he was still cursing the Sect Master.
If you don’t believe me, fine. I’m not young anymore, and my talent is limited. But this time, I’m going all out to nurture this prodigy and give all of you a good slap in the face.
Especially that Fire Elder, who made Qing Yangzi particularly furious.
That damn Fire bastard, the thing he brought back—who knows if it’s his illegitimate child? He claims he found it by accident. What a load of crap.

“Yes, there are many Shattered Peaks. Look down there—those are the residences of the outer disciples,” Qing Yangzi pointed out.
Lin Fan glanced down and frowned slightly. “It’s so crowded.”
“And down there, those are the quarters of the servant disciples,” Qing Yangzi pointed again.
Lin Fan looked again. It was a bit pitiful—simple houses crammed together, not even comparable to the Xuanhuang Realm.
“What’s over there?” Lin Fan pointed to a distant area where ten towering peaks stood, majestic and awe-inspiring. Around these peaks, countless magical artifacts swirled, and radiant lights flowed out. Numerous rainbows seemed to bow before the peaks, as if they were something extraordinary.

A stream of energy swept over the peak, cleaning off the dust from the buildings. The withered plants and trees seemed to come back to life, flourishing once more.
“Keep this safe. From now on, this Shattered Peak is yours. Give it a name,” Qing Yangzi said.
“Let’s call it the Saint Demon Peak,” Lin Fan said.
“Saint Demon Peak? That’s a good name. Two supreme paths, encompassing everything. You’re destined for greatness,” Qing Yangzi said with a smile.
Lin Fan walked into the buildings. The area wasn’t large, but it had everything.
Alchemy room, forging room, cultivation chamber, spiritual herb garden, and so on.
“How is it? Not bad, right? Let me tell you, the benefits of being an inner disciple are quite substantial,” Qing Yangzi said with a smile.
“Not bad,” Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction. The treatment of an inner disciple was indeed good.

“Elder, Senior Brother Lin has such immense potential. Why didn’t the Sect Master give him the position of a Divine Son?” Li Qing asked, puzzled.
“Don’t mention it. A wild card appeared out of nowhere. That Fire Elder somehow found a mutated Heaven and Earth Fire Spirit, and the Sect Master’s attention was completely drawn to it.”
“And there are only ten positions for Divine Sons. Originally, there was one vacancy, so there was still some hope. But who could have expected this to happen?” Qing Yangzi said.
“That’s a pity,” Li Qing said.
“Let’s go prepare his things,” Qing Yangzi thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth. This time, he was going all out. The prodigy he had discovered—how could he let him sink into obscurity?
No matter what, he had to help him grow.
He would bet everything he had, and in the end, he would make sure they all realized that not giving Lin Fan the position of a Divine Son was a huge mistake.
In the entire sect, he, Qing Yangzi, was the only one who truly saw the light.
Li Qing didn’t know what Qing Yangzi was preparing for Lin Fan, but when he saw the elder’s determined expression, he was completely stunned.
“I’ll take that one,” Lin Fan pointed toward a distant peak.
“Alright,” Qing Yangzi nodded, took out a jade talisman, and injected spiritual energy into it. The talisman suddenly emitted a beam of light, enveloping the shattered peak. Then, as if drawn by an invisible force, the peak slowly floated toward Lin Fan and the others.
“Activate!”
A stream of energy surged over the peak, cleansing the dust from its buildings. The withered flowers, grass, and trees regained vitality and flourished once more.
“Keep this. From now on, this shattered peak belongs to you. Give it a name,” Qing Yangzi said.
“Let’s call it Holy Demon Peak,” Lin Fan replied.
“Holy Demon Peak? That’s a great name—combining two supreme forces, encompassing everything. You’re destined for greatness,” Qing Yangzi laughed.
Lin Fan walked into the buildings. The area wasn’t large, but it had everything he needed—alchemical labs, weapon forging rooms, cultivation chambers, gardens for growing spirit herbs, and more.
“What do you think? Not bad, right? I tell you, the privileges of an inner sect disciple are quite high,” Qing Yangzi said with a smile.
“Not bad at all,” Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction. The treatment of an inner sect disciple was indeed impressive.
“You can rest here for now. Later, I’ll have someone bring you the sect’s supplies,” Qing Yangzi said.
“Alright.”
…
Qing Yangzi and the others left the shattered peak.
“Senior Lin has boundless potential, so why didn’t the Sect Leader grant him the position of a divine son?” Li Qing asked curiously.
Lin Fan had been waiting outside for quite some time, growing increasingly impatient.
What on earth was Qing Yangzi up to? Why hadn’t he come out yet?
Just then, Qing Yangzi’s figure appeared in Lin Fan’s line of sight.
As he walked, Qing Yangzi was muttering curses, continuously berating Elder Huo’s entire family. However, as he approached Lin Fan, his expression suddenly changed, and a joyful smile spread across his face.
“Everything is settled. You are now an inner disciple. You know, when the Sect Leader heard about your extraordinary talent, he was so excited that he immediately promoted you to an inner disciple, granting you a Shattered Peak,” Qing Yangzi said excitedly.
The disciples nearby were slightly taken aback.
An inner disciple?
While being an inner disciple was certainly good, they all knew that this junior brother was a prodigy.
With the strength of the Ancient Realm’s high stage, he could suppress a True Immortal Realm’s initial stage. How domineering was that?
Had the Sect Leader’s brain been hit by a bullet or something?
Such a disciple, and yet he wasn’t given the position of a Divine Son?
Of course, this was just a thought. If they actually voiced it, they would surely be struck dead.
Seeing that Elder Qing Yangzi’s expression remained normal, showing excitement, they naturally understood that the elder was trying to deceive Lin Fan, making him realize how precious the position of an inner disciple was.
“An inner disciple?” Lin Fan was somewhat puzzled, but seeing the envious expressions on the faces of those around him, he felt quite good.
It seemed that being an inner disciple was quite impressive.
Well, it was fitting for his status.
“Congratulations, Senior Brother Lin, on becoming an inner disciple,” Li Qing said, cupping his hands.
Although Lin Fan had joined the sect later, his cultivation was high, and his status was also higher than theirs, so it was natural to address him as senior brother.
“You’re too kind,” Lin Fan smiled, cupping his hands in return.
“Come, let’s go choose a Shattered Peak,” Qing Yangzi said with a smile.
But in his heart, he was still cursing the Sect Leader.
If you don’t believe me, fine. I’m not young anymore, and my talent is somewhat limited. In that case, I’ll take a gamble this time and nurture this prodigy properly, slapping all of you in the face.
Especially Elder Huo, who infuriated Qing Yangzi even more.
That damn Huo, the thing he brought back, who knows if it’s his illegitimate child, and he claims he found it by accident. What a load of crap.
Not long after.
Lin Fan and Qing Yangzi, along with others, floated in the void.
In the vast expanse before them, numerous Shattered Peaks drifted in the sky, each one unique in shape and form, with a palace atop each peak.
The unoccupied palaces appeared ordinary, with nothing particularly special about them.
However, the Shattered Peaks that were already inhabited radiated intense spiritual energy, with various lights entwining around them.
“There are so many,” Lin Fan noticed that there were quite a few occupied Shattered Peaks, at least thousands, if not tens of thousands.
So, being an inner disciple wasn’t that valuable after all.
“Yes, there are many Shattered Peaks. Look down there, that’s where the outer disciples reside,” Qing Yangzi pointed out.
Lin Fan looked and slightly frowned, “It’s so crowded.”
“Now look further down, that’s where the servant disciples live,” Qing Yangzi pointed again.
Lin Fan looked again, and it was quite pitiful. The houses were simple and crammed together, not even comparable to the Xuanhuang Realm.
“What’s over there?” Lin Fan pointed to a distant direction where ten towering peaks stood, majestic and awe-inspiring. Around these peaks, countless magical treasures were entwined, with seven-colored lights flowing out, and numerous rainbows bowing to the peaks, as if they were something extraordinary.
Qing Yangzi glanced at the peaks, his expression slightly changing, but then he calmly said, “That’s nothing, just the descendants of the sect’s higher-ups, second generations, all useless, just a bunch of duds.”
Li Qing, hearing the elder say this, felt his heart skip a beat.
The elder was too domineering. Those peaks were where the sect’s Divine Sons resided.
And these Divine Sons were not to be trifled with. If they heard the elder speaking like this, they might very well challenge him to a fight.
Although Qing Yangzi was an elder, he was only an elder in charge of disciple selection, with limited authority within the sect.
Even these Divine Sons had more say than Qing Yangzi.
“Oh, so there are also second generations who get in through connections,” Lin Fan nodded, feeling that these places were quite nice.
“Let’s not talk about this. Choose one, and if you find one you like, let me know, and I’ll arrange it for you,” Qing Yangzi changed the subject, clearly not wanting to dwell on this topic.
Lin Fan had joined the Heaven and Earth Sect not for enjoyment but to improve his cultivation.
The supreme beings and demons in the secret realm were still waiting for him to rescue them.
“That one,” Lin Fan pointed to a peak in front of him.
“Alright,” Qing Yangzi nodded, took out a jade talisman, and infused it with spiritual energy. The jade talisman suddenly emitted a light that enveloped the Shattered Peak, which then seemed to be drawn towards them, slowly floating to Lin Fan and the others.
“Activate!”
A stream of energy swept over the Shattered Peak, cleaning all the dust off the buildings. The withered flowers, grass, and trees seemed to regain their vitality, flourishing once again.
“Keep this safe. From now on, this Shattered Peak is yours. Give it a name,” Qing Yangzi said.
“Let’s call it the Sacred Demon Peak,” Lin Fan said.
“The Sacred Demon Peak? That’s a good name, embodying two supreme paths, encompassing everything. It will surely achieve greatness,” Qing Yangzi said with a smile.
Lin Fan walked into the building. It wasn’t large, but it had everything.
Alchemy room, forging room, cultivation room, spiritual herb garden, and so on…
“How is it? Not bad, right? I tell you, the benefits of being an inner disciple are quite high,” Qing Yangzi said with a smile.
“Not bad,” Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction. The treatment of an inner disciple was indeed good.
“Then you rest well. I’ll have someone bring you the sect’s items later,” Qing Yangzi said.
“Alright.”
…
Qing Yangzi and the others left the Shattered Peak.
“Elder, Senior Brother Lin has unparalleled potential. Why didn’t the Sect Leader give him the position of a Divine Son?” Li Qing asked, puzzled.
“Don’t mention it. Halfway through, a Cheng Yaojin appeared. Elder Huo found some mutated Heaven and Earth Fire Spirit somewhere, and the Sect Leader’s attention was completely drawn to it.”
“Moreover, there are only ten positions for Divine Sons. Originally, there was one vacancy, and there was still some hope, but who could have expected this to happen,” Qing Yangzi said.
“That’s a pity,” Li Qing said.
“Let’s go prepare things for him,” Qing Yangzi thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth. This time, I’ll go all out. The prodigy I discovered, how can he be allowed to sink into obscurity?
No matter what, I must help him grow.
I’ll bet everything I have, and in the future, I’ll make sure they know that not giving Lin Fan the position of a Divine Son was their blindness.
In the entire sect, I am the only one who truly sees clearly.
Li Qing didn’t know what Qing Yangzi was preparing for Lin Fan, but seeing the elder’s determined expression, he was completely stunned.
“Besides, there were originally ten divine sons, with one vacancy, giving us a bit of hope. But who could have predicted such a situation?” Qing Yangzi said.
“That’s a real shame,” Li Qing said.
“Come on, let’s prepare some things for him,” Qing Yangzi thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth. This time, he was going all in. The prodigy he discovered couldn’t just fade into obscurity.
No matter what, he would help him grow.
He was willing to bet everything he had, and someday, he would make them realize that not granting Lin Fan the position of divine son was a mistake born of blindness.
He was the only one in the entire sect with truly clear vision.
Li Qing didn’t know exactly what Qing Yangzi was preparing for Lin Fan, but seeing the elder’s determined expression, he was completely stunned.
