“Elder, he… he…” The disciples of the Heaven and Earth Sect were dumbfounded. What on earth was happening? The elder was a True Immortal Realm powerhouse, how could he possibly lose to a young boy?
Qing Yangzi stood there, his face calm but with a sense of utter defeat.
His old face stung, as if it had been slapped repeatedly.
With his early-stage True Immortal Realm strength, he had actually been defeated by a young man at the peak of the Ancient Realm.
If this got out, how much face would he lose?
Not to mention, it happened in front of a massive crowd, with countless witnesses watching his utter defeat.
The onlookers among the common folk gasped in shock.
“The sect elder actually lost to the young master of the Lin family? This is too explosive!”
“What kind of strength does this young master of the Lin family possess? How could he be so powerful?”
“That move just now was too domineering. With his hands forming a sword, he directly pressed it against the sect elder’s forehead.”
“It seems the Lin family is about to rise. With such strength, who in the Ascending Dragon City would dare to oppose them?”
“I heard the heads of the other seven great families went to the Lin family to propose marriage yesterday. Although the exact outcome is unknown, it’s clear that these family heads wanted to form an alliance through marriage.”
“I heard the young master of the Lin family rejected them all. After all, he’s destined to become a disciple of a great sect. The women he’ll meet then will be peerless beauties, far beyond the daughters of these families.”
…
“Elder, he…”
Qing Yangzi waved his hand. Although it was embarrassing, a loss was a loss, and there was nothing more to say. But more than that, he felt a surge of excitement.
For decades, as the elder in charge of selecting disciples for the sect, he had recruited countless talents. Once, Qing Yangzi had discovered a prodigy named Lie Qingtian, but that man was opportunistic, using the Heaven and Earth Sect as a stepping stone to join the Canghuang Sect, the top of the nine great orthodox sects at the time.
This turned the Heaven and Earth Sect into a laughingstock among the sects.
But the disciple he had discovered in Ascending Dragon City, in Qing Yangzi’s eyes, was no less talented than Lie Qingtian—perhaps even more so.
“This young man is a peerless genius, surpassing even Lie Qingtian. To have discovered him is a blessing I’ve cultivated over several lifetimes,” Qing Yangzi said excitedly.
The disciples, hearing such high praise from the elder, were stunned.
More talented than Lie Qingtian? What did that even mean?
It was beyond their imagination.
The Lin family!
Lin Fan was surrounded by the crowd.
“My son, you’re truly amazing. I can’t believe I could have such an incredible child. Tell me, are you really my son?” Lin Haoming exclaimed, gesticulating wildly, almost as if he were about to take flight.
Lin Fan felt a bit helpless. He wanted to say, “I’m really not your son,” but decided against it.
Even if he said it, no one would believe him.
Besides, this man had treated him well, so he might as well let him have this moment of pride.
“Tomorrow, I’ll be leaving the Lin family. You all…” No matter what, he had lived here for eleven years, and leaving so suddenly naturally required some comforting words.
But before Lin Fan could finish, Lin Haoming interrupted.
“My son, you’re like a divine dragon from the heavens. Ascending Dragon City isn’t worthy of you. When you enter the sect, work hard and strive to bring back seventeen or eighteen celestial maidens. That’ll bring glory to our family!”
“Don’t worry, the Lin family will be fine with me here. Just come back to visit us often,” Lin Haoming said excitedly.
Well, that was pointless.
“Brother, Lan’er will miss you so much,” Lin Lan’er said, throwing herself into Lin Fan’s arms.
Lin Fan patted her head. “I’ll come back to visit you all.”
“Brother, do your best,” Lin Hanyu and Lin Feixue cheered him on.
Lin Shi was also deeply reluctant to see him go, but he knew that having such a genius in the Lin family was a blessing for the entire clan.
If they kept him tied down in this small Ascending Dragon City, their ancestors in the afterlife would probably curse them to death.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be back,” Lin Fan said.
…
In this battle, Lin Fan had overpowered the sect elder, leaving the heads of the seven great families utterly stunned.
They had thought the young master of the Lin family was already formidable, but now they realized he wasn’t just formidable—he was practically heaven-defying.
That was the sect elder, and a senior one at that.
If the young master of the Lin family was this powerful, what would happen once he entered the sect?
They were filled with deep regret.
If they had known this earlier, they would have knelt down and begged the young master of the Lin family to accept their daughters, even if it was just a nominal relationship.
But now, it was too late.
Such a tremendous opportunity had slipped through their fingers, leaving them with nothing but regret.
…
The next day!
The Lin family was decorated with lanterns and streamers, as if it were a grand celebration. A band played music at the entrance.
Everyone in the Lin family, from the family head down to the servants and even the livestock, joined in the farewell ceremony.
Countless commoners gathered around to catch a glimpse of the young master of the Lin family.
He was the most outstanding prodigy Ascending Dragon City had ever seen.
Lin Fan stood in the courtyard, looking up at the sky.
At that moment, a battleship floated in the void.
The battleship wasn’t particularly large, but it exuded an imposing aura, clearly no ordinary vessel.
Qing Yangzi stood on the battleship, looking down at Lin Fan with admiration in his eyes.
This was the peerless genius he had discovered, the crowning achievement of his career.
As long as nothing went wrong, this young man would undoubtedly become a world-shaking powerhouse.
And Qing Yangzi himself would be recorded in history as the one who unearthed this prodigy.
Thinking of this, Qing Yangzi couldn’t help but feel a little excited.
Lin Fan looked around at the crowd and finally nodded, his body rising into the air.
“Young master, remember to come back and visit us!” the servants shouted.
“Brother, don’t forget me.”
“Little brother, have a safe journey.”
“My son, you must do your best. Make sure to bring back seventeen or eighteen wives!”
The onlookers among the commoners also cheered.
When he reached the battleship, Lin Fan nodded to Qing Yangzi and the others, then looked down, surveying the entire Ascending Dragon City.
Qing Yangzi approached him. “Don’t worry, I’ve imprinted the mark of the Heaven and Earth Sect into this land. From now on, no matter which sect it is, they’ll know this is the territory of the Heaven and Earth Sect. Nothing will happen.”
“And if something does happen?” Lin Fan asked calmly.
“Then they’ll face the endless wrath of the Heaven and Earth Sect. Our sect cares deeply about the families of our disciples and will never let them come to harm,” Qing Yangzi said.
“Good. Let’s go then. I’m curious to see what the Heaven and Earth Sect is really like.”
Lin Fan gazed into the boundless horizon ahead. His true journey was just beginning.
Qing Yang Zi stood still, his face calm on the surface but filled with a sense of despair.
His pride stung, slapped mercilessly.
With his cultivation at the early stage of the True Immortal Realm, he had actually been defeated by a young man at the Ancient Realm’s late stage.
If this news got out, it would be a huge embarrassment.
Not to mention, right now, in front of thousands of witnesses, he had been utterly defeated.
The onlookers started to murmur in astonishment.
“The sect’s big lord was actually defeated by the young master of the Lin family. This is too shocking.”
“Just what level of cultivation does this young master Lin possess? How could he be so powerful?”
“That last move was too domineering. He formed his hands into swords, directly pointing at the sect lord’s forehead.”
“It seems the Lin family is about to rise. With such power, who in Shenglong City dares to oppose them?”
“I heard that the heads of the other seven major families went to the Lin family to propose marriage alliances yesterday. Although I don’t know the exact outcome, it’s clear they were trying to form alliances.”
“I heard the young master Lin rejected all of them. After all, the young master Lin is going to become a disciple of a major sect. At that time, the women he meets will be peerless beauties, incomparable to those daughters of noble families.”
…
“Elder, he… he…” The disciples of the Heaven and Earth Sect were dumbfounded. What was going on? The elder was a True Immortal Realm powerhouse; how could he possibly lose to a young boy?
Qingyangzi stood there, his face calm but with a sense of utter defeat.
His old face stung, as if it had been slapped repeatedly.

“Good. Let’s go then. I’m curious to see what the Heaven and Earth Sect is really like.”
Lin Fan looked ahead at the boundless horizon. His journey was only just beginning.
Qing Yang Zi waved his hand. Although it was somewhat embarrassing, losing was losing, nothing more to say. Yet beneath his shame was a flicker of excitement.
“Elder, he… he…” The disciple of the Heaven and Earth Sect was dumbfounded. What on earth was happening? The elder was a True Immortal Realm powerhouse, how could he possibly lose to a young boy?
Qingyangzi stood there, his face calm, yet there was a sense of utter defeat.

This had made the Heaven and Earth Sect a laughingstock among the sects.
But the disciple he had discovered in Ascending Dragon City, in Qingyangzi’s eyes, was no less talented than Lie Qingtian, perhaps even more so.
“This boy is a once-in-a-generation genius, surpassing even Lie Qingtian. To have discovered him is a blessing I’ve earned over several lifetimes,” Qingyangzi said excitedly.
The disciples, hearing such high praise from the elder, were stunned.
More talented than Lie Qingtian? What did that even mean?
It was beyond their imagination.
The Lin family!
Lin Fan was surrounded by the crowd.
“My son, you’re truly amazing. I can’t believe I could have such a talented child. Tell me, are you really my son?” Lin Haoming was so excited he was practically dancing, almost floating with joy.
Lin Fan felt a bit helpless. He really wanted to say, “I’m not your son,” but he decided against it.
Even if he said it, no one would believe him.
Besides, this man had treated him well, so he might as well let him have this moment of pride.
“Tomorrow, I’ll be leaving the Lin family. You all…” No matter what, he had lived here for eleven years, and leaving suddenly meant he needed to comfort everyone.
But before Lin Fan could finish, Lin Haoming interrupted.
“My son, you’re like a divine dragon from the heavens. Ascending Dragon City isn’t worthy of you. When you enter the sect, work hard and strive to bring back seventeen or eighteen fairy maidens. That’ll bring glory to our family!”
“Don’t worry, the Lin family will be fine with me here. Just come back and visit often,” Lin Haoming said excitedly.
Well, that was pointless.
“Brother, Lan’er will miss you so much,” Lin Lan’er said, throwing herself into Lin Fan’s arms.

In this battle, Lin Fan had overpowered the sect elder, leaving the heads of the seven great families in shock.
They had thought the young master of the Lin family was already incredibly strong, but now they realized he wasn’t just strong—he was practically heaven-defying.
That was the sect elder, and a senior one at that.
With such strength, once Lin Fan entered the sect, what heights would he reach?
They were filled with deep regret.
If they had known, they would have knelt down and begged Lin Fan to accept their daughters, even if it was just a nominal relationship.
But now, it was too late.
Such a great opportunity had slipped through their fingers, leaving them with nothing but regret.

“Young master, remember to come back and visit us!” the servants shouted.
“Brother, don’t forget me.”
“Little brother, have a safe journey.”

“Then they’ll face the endless wrath of the Heaven and Earth Sect. The sect takes the families of its disciples very seriously and will never allow them to be in danger,” Qingyangzi said.
“Good. Let’s go. I’m curious to see what the Heaven and Earth Sect is really like.”
Lin Fan looked ahead at the boundless horizon. His journey was just beginning.
This caused Tian Di Sect to become the laughingstock of the cultivation world.
If the disciple discovered in Shenglong City, in Qing Yang Zi’s opinion, was no less than Lie Qing Tian, even surpassing him.
“This young man is a rare genius, even greater than Lie Qing Tian. To have discovered him is the fortune of countless lifetimes,” Qing Yang Zi said excitedly.
“Elder, he… he…” The disciples of the Heaven and Earth Sect were dumbfounded. What on earth was happening? The elder was a True Immortal Realm powerhouse; how could he possibly lose to a young boy?

They had thought the young master of the Lin family was strong, but now they realized he was not just strong—he was heaven-defying.
That was the sect elder, and a senior one at that.
With such strength, what would happen when he entered the sect?
They deeply regretted their earlier decisions.
If they had known, they would have knelt down and begged Lin Fan to accept their daughters, even if it was just a nominal relationship.
But now, it was too late.
Such a great opportunity had slipped through their fingers, leaving them with nothing but regret.
…
The next day!
The Lin family was decorated with lanterns and streamers as if it were a grand celebration. A band played music at the entrance.
From the family head to the servants, and even the livestock, everyone joined in the farewell ceremony.
Countless commoners gathered to see the young master of the Lin family.
He was the most outstanding genius in the history of the Rising Dragon City.
Lin Fan stood in the courtyard, looking up at the sky.
At that moment, a warship floated in the void.
The warship wasn’t large, but it was imposing, clearly no ordinary vessel.
Qing Yangzi stood on the warship, looking down at Lin Fan with admiration in his eyes.
This was the peerless genius he had discovered, the most glorious moment of his career.
As long as nothing went wrong, this young man would undoubtedly become a world-shaking powerhouse.
And Qing Yangzi would be recorded in history as the one who discovered him.
Thinking of this, Qing Yangzi felt a small thrill of excitement.
Lin Fan looked around at the crowd and finally nodded, rising into the air.
“Young master, remember to come back and visit us!” the servants shouted.
“Brother, think of me.”
“Little brother, have a safe journey.”
“My son, do your best. Make sure to bring back seventeen or eighteen wives.”
The onlookers cheered as well.
When he reached the warship, Lin Fan nodded to Qing Yangzi and the others, then looked down at the Rising Dragon City.
Qing Yangzi approached him, “Don’t worry. I’ve imprinted the Heaven and Earth Sect’s mark on this land. No matter which sect it is, they will know this is the territory of the Heaven and Earth Sect, and nothing will happen.”
“And if something does happen?” Lin Fan asked calmly.
“Then they will face the endless wrath of the Heaven and Earth Sect. The sect is extremely protective of its disciples’ families and will never let them come to harm,” Qing Yangzi said.
“Alright, let’s go. I’m curious to see what the Heaven and Earth Sect is like.”
Lin Fan looked ahead at the boundless horizon. His journey was truly just beginning.
More powerful than Lie Qing Tian? What a concept!
It was beyond their imagination.
Lin Family!
Lin Fan was surrounded and supported by many.
“My son, you’re just too amazing. I can’t even believe I gave birth to such a capable child. Tell your father, are you really my son?” Lin Haoming was so excited he was dancing with joy.
Lin Fan felt helpless, wanting to say, “Well, I’m not actually your son.”
But he thought better of it.
Even if he did say so, no one would believe him.
Besides, this guy had been relatively kind to him. Let him have this pride.
“Tomorrow I will leave the Lin family. You all…” No matter what, he had lived here for eleven years. Suddenly leaving, he naturally wanted to comfort everyone properly.
But before Lin Fan could finish, Lin Haoming spoke directly.
“My son, you are like a celestial dragon, Shenglong City is simply not worthy of you. Once you enter the sect, work hard and aim to win seventeen or eighteen fairies. That would be a great honor to our family,” Lin Haoming said excitedly.
“Don’t worry, the Lin family will be fine with me around. Just come back often to visit,” Lin Haoming continued.
Well, that made the whole thing pointless.
“Brother, Lan’er will miss you so much,” Lin Lan said, throwing herself into Lin Fan’s arms.
Lin Fan gently patted her head. “I will come back to visit you all often.”
“Brother, good luck,” Lin Hanyu and Lin Feixue cheered.
The elders of the Lin family were reluctant as well, but they knew that having such a genius in the family was a blessing.
If they kept such a talent confined to the small Shenglong City, the ancestors beneath the earth would probably scold them.
“Alright, don’t worry. I will return,” Lin Fan said.
…
This battle, Lin Fan’s overwhelming victory over the sect’s big lord left the heads of the seven major families stunned.
They had originally thought the young master Lin was already powerful enough, but now they realized he was beyond powerful—he was simply extraordinary.
“Elder, he… he…” The disciples of the Heaven and Earth Sect were dumbfounded. What on earth was going on? The elder was a True Immortal Realm powerhouse, how could he possibly lose to a young boy?
Qing Yangzi stood there, his face calm but with a sense of hopelessness.
His old face stung, as if it had been slapped repeatedly.
With his initial stage True Immortal Realm strength, he had actually been defeated by a high-stage Ancient Realm youngster.
If this got out, how much face would he lose?
Not to mention, now that the streets were empty, and in the presence of countless witnesses, he had been utterly defeated.
The onlookers among the common folk exclaimed in shock.
“The sect elder has actually been defeated by the young master of the Lin family, this is too explosive.”
“What kind of strength does this young master of the Lin family possess? How could he be so powerful?”
“That move just now was too domineering, his hands turned into swords, directly pressing against the sect elder’s forehead.”
“It seems the Lin family is about to rise. With such strength, who in Sheng Long City would dare to oppose the Lin family?”
“I heard the heads of the other seven great families went to the Lin family to propose marriage yesterday. Although the specific outcome is unknown, it’s clear that these seven family heads wanted to form alliances.”
“I heard the young master of the Lin family rejected them all. After all, he is destined to become a disciple of a great sect. The women he will meet then will be peerless beauties, far beyond the daughters of these families.”
…
“Elder, he…”
Qing Yangzi waved his hand. Although it was a bit embarrassing, a loss was a loss, and there was nothing more to say. But more than that, he felt a sense of excitement.
He had been a selection elder for the sect for decades, and had taken in countless disciples. Once, Qing Yangzi had discovered a Lie Qingtian, but unfortunately, that person had been opportunistic, using the Heaven and Earth Sect as a stepping stone to enter the number one orthodox sect at the time, the Cang Huang Sect.
This had made the Heaven and Earth Sect a laughingstock among the sects.
In Qing Yangzi’s view, the disciple he had discovered in Sheng Long City was no worse than Lie Qingtian, and perhaps even better.
“This boy is a peerless genius, even surpassing Lie Qingtian. Now that I have discovered him, it is a blessing from several lifetimes,” Qing Yangzi said excitedly.
The many disciples were stunned by the elder’s high praise.
More powerful than Lie Qingtian? What did that mean?
It was beyond their imagination.
Lin Family!
Lin Fan was surrounded by the crowd.
“My son, you are truly amazing. I can’t believe I could have such a talented child. Tell me, are you really my son?” Lin Haoming was so excited he was almost flying.
Lin Fan was somewhat helpless and wanted to say, “I am indeed not your son.”
But he thought better of it.
Even if he said it, no one would believe him.
And this guy had been decent to him, so let him have his moment of pride.
“Tomorrow I will leave the Lin family, you all…” No matter what, he had lived here for eleven years, and leaving suddenly, he naturally wanted to comfort everyone.
But before Lin Fan could finish, Lin Haoming spoke up.
“My son, you are a divine dragon from the heavens. Sheng Long City is not worthy of you. When you enter the sect, work hard and strive to bring back seventeen or eighteen fairy maidens. That will truly bring glory to our ancestors.”
“Don’t worry, with me here, the Lin family will hold on. Just come back to visit often,” Lin Haoming said excitedly.
Well, that was a waste of breath.
“Brother, Lan’er will miss you so much,” Lin Lan’er said, throwing herself into Lin Fan’s arms.
Lin Fan patted her head, “I will come back to visit you all.”
“Brother, do your best,” Lin Hanyu and Lin Feixue cheered him on.
Lin Shi was also very reluctant, but he knew that having such a genius in the Lin family was a blessing for the entire family.
If they kept him tied to the small Sheng Long City, their ancestors in the underworld would probably curse them to death.
“Don’t worry, I will come back,” Lin Fan said.
…
In this battle, Lin Fan had overpowered the sect elder, leaving the heads of the seven great families dumbfounded.
They had thought the young master of the Lin family was powerful, but now they realized he was not just powerful, he was heaven-defying.
That was the sect elder, and a senior elder at that.
With the young master of the Lin family being so powerful, what would happen when he entered the sect?
They deeply regretted it.
If they had known, they would have knelt down and begged the young master of the Lin family to take their daughters, even if it was just a nominal relationship.
But now, it was too late.
Such a great opportunity had slipped through their fingers, leaving them with full of regret.
…
The next day!
The Lin family was decorated with lanterns and colored banners, as if it were a grand celebration. A band played music at the entrance.
Everyone in the Lin family, from the head of the family to the servants, and even the livestock, joined in the farewell ceremony.
Countless common folk gathered around to see the young master of the Lin family.
He was the most outstanding genius Sheng Long City had ever seen.
Lin Fan stood in the courtyard, looking up at the sky.
At that moment, a warship floated in the void.
The warship was not large, but it was imposing, clearly something extraordinary.
Qing Yangzi stood on the warship, looking down at Lin Fan with admiration in his eyes.
This was the peerless genius he had discovered, the most glorious moment of his career.
As long as nothing went wrong.
In the future, this boy would undoubtedly become a world-shaking peerless powerhouse.
And Qing Yangzi would be recorded in history as the discoverer of this peerless powerhouse.
Thinking of this, Qing Yangzi felt a little excited.
Lin Fan looked at the people around him and finally nodded, his body rising into the air.
“Young master, remember to come back and visit us,” the servants shouted.
“Brother, think of me.”
“Little brother, have a safe journey.”
“My son, you must do your best. In the future, you must bring back seventeen or eighteen wives.”
The onlookers among the common folk also cheered.
When he reached the warship, Lin Fan nodded to Qing Yangzi and the others, then looked down, surveying the entire Sheng Long City.
Qing Yangzi came to his side, “Don’t worry, I have imprinted the mark of the Heaven and Earth Sect into this land. No matter which sect it is, they will know this is the territory of the Heaven and Earth Sect, and nothing will happen.”
“What if something does happen?” Lin Fan asked calmly.
“Then they will face the endless wrath of the Heaven and Earth Sect. The Heaven and Earth Sect cares deeply about the families of its disciples and will never let them face any danger,” Qing Yangzi said.
“Alright, let’s go. It’s time to see what the Heaven and Earth Sect is really like.”
Lin Fan looked ahead at the boundless horizon. The journey had truly just begun.
With the young master Lin being so formidable, what more could be expected once he entered the sect?
Deep regret filled their hearts.
If they had known this beforehand, they would have knelt and begged the young master Lin to accept their daughters, even if it was just a nominal engagement.
Unfortunately, now everything was too late.
Such a great opportunity slipped through their fingers, leaving only profound regret.
…
The next day!
The Lin family decorated the house with lanterns and streamers, as if celebrating a grand festival. The entrance was filled with musicians playing festive music.
From the family head to the servants, even the livestock, everyone joined the farewell ceremony.
Countless commoners gathered around, all coming to see the young master Lin.
He was the most extraordinary genius in the history of Shenglong City.
Lin Fan stood in the courtyard, looking up at the sky.
At that moment, a warship floated in the sky.
The ship wasn’t very large, but it exuded a solemn aura, clearly a rare treasure.
Qing Yang Zi stood on the warship, gazing down at Lin Fan with admiration in his eyes.
This was the rare genius he had discovered, the most glorious moment in his career.
As long as nothing unexpected happened,
In the future, this young man would surely become an unparalleled expert feared across the land.
And he, Qing Yang Zi, would be recorded in history as the discoverer of such a supreme expert.
Thinking of this, Qing Yang Zi couldn’t help but feel a little excited.
Lin Fan looked at the crowd around him and finally nodded, ascending into the air.
“Young master, remember to come back and visit us,” the servants shouted.
“Brother, don’t forget me.”
“Young master, have a safe journey.”
“My son, work hard. In the future, bring back seventeen or eighteen wives.”
The gathered crowd cheered as well.
When he reached the warship, Lin Fan nodded to Qing Yang Zi and others, then looked down, surveying the entire Shenglong City.
Qing Yang Zi approached. “Don’t worry. I have imprinted the mark of Tian Di Sect into the sky and land here. From now on, no matter which sect, they will know this is our territory, and nothing will happen.”
“What if something does happen?” Lin Fan asked calmly.
“Then they will face the endless wrath of Tian Di Sect. We care deeply for the families of our disciples and will never allow them to be endangered,” Qing Yang Zi said.
“Alright, then let’s go. I’m curious to see what Tian Di Sect is really like.”
Lin Fan gazed forward at the boundless horizon. His journey was truly beginning now.
