In the boundless void, Lin Fan glanced silently at the Water-Fire Emperor, curious to see where he was being taken.
What surprised Lin Fan was the Water-Fire Emperor’s extraordinary method of travel.
This journey through the void felt different from his usual experiences.
It was as if they were traversing the river of time itself.
In the blink of an eye, the scenery before them completely transformed.
“Here…” Lin Fan’s expression shifted slightly as he gazed ahead. They had arrived at the Water-Fire Emperor’s palace in the blink of an eye—this was just too fast.
Lin Fan knew the Water-Fire Emperor’s palace was separated from his previous location by an immense distance, spanning countless worlds. Yet they had arrived in an instant. Truly overwhelming.
When he saw the palace maids around him, Lin Fan couldn’t help but smile. These were all familiar faces.
The maids, upon seeing Lin Fan, showed expressions of reverence. They all knew this man was the Emperor’s exclusive favorite, so naturally, they dared not show any negligence.
“Follow me,” the Water-Fire Emperor commanded, his tone leaving no room for objection.
Lin Fan didn’t say much, having long grown accustomed to this.
He followed the Water-Fire Emperor into a luxurious room where an especially prominent large bed immediately caught his eye.
Lin Fan glanced at the Water-Fire Emperor, who stood silently, and then obediently walked toward the bed, slowly taking off his top before lying down.
“Sigh, it seems I can’t escape this after all. If I can’t run away, I might as well enjoy it.”
Lin Fan closed his eyes. “Alright, I’m ready. Come on.”
“What are you doing?” The Water-Fire Emperor, standing there, furrowed his brow, his tone somewhat displeased.
“You don’t want me, right?” Lin Fan opened his eyes in confusion.
“Hmph, when did I ever say I wanted to favor you?” The Water-Fire Emperor snapped.
“You should have said so earlier. You scared me,” Lin Fan quickly stood up and put his clothes back on. “So what are we doing here then?”
“I brought you here to tell you that the place I’m taking you to is a secret realm accessible only to the mightiest beings, the most mysterious place in this world. Once we’re there, you’d better not cause any trouble, or even I won’t be able to protect you,” the Water-Fire Emperor said sternly, though his eyes betrayed a hint of concern.
Did the Water-Fire Emperor not know this guy well enough? But this secret realm was something only the mightiest could know about.
She had originally considered not informing him, but then decided against it. Since they had developed this kind of relationship, not telling him would be too heartless.
What the Water-Fire Emperor didn’t know, however, was that even if she hadn’t informed him, the Great Sage and the Pangu God would have found ways to notify him, though whether they could actually locate Lin Fan was another matter entirely.
In the endless void, Lin Fan watched the Emperor of Water and Fire beside him without uttering a word, curious to see where the Emperor was taking him.
However, what astonished Lin Fan was the Emperor’s extraordinary methods.
The void they traversed was unlike anything Lin Fan had experienced before.
It felt as though they were navigating through the river of time.
In the blink of an eye, the scenery before them changed dramatically.
“Here…” Lin Fan’s expression shifted slightly as he gazed ahead. In just a blink, they had arrived at the Emperor’s palace. It was astonishingly fast.
Lin Fan knew the location of the Emperor’s palace was worlds apart from where he had been, spanning countless realms. Yet, they had arrived in an instant. Truly, the Emperor’s power was overwhelming.
When Lin Fan saw the maids around, he smiled. They were all familiar faces.
The maids, upon seeing Lin Fan, showed a hint of reverence in their eyes. They knew this man was the Emperor’s favored one and dared not show any disrespect.
“Follow me,” the Emperor of Water and Fire commanded with an unyielding tone.
Lin Fan said nothing, having grown accustomed to such situations.
He followed the Emperor into a luxurious room where a large bed stood out prominently.
Lin Fan glanced at the Emperor, who stood there silently, then walked to the bed, slowly removing his shirt and lying down.
“Ah, there’s no escaping it. Since I can’t avoid it, I might as well enjoy it,” Lin Fan thought, closing his eyes. “Come on, I’m ready.”
“What are you doing?” the Emperor frowned, her tone sharp.
“Aren’t you going to… you know, have your way with me?” Lin Fan opened his eyes, puzzled.
“Hmph, when did I ever say I wanted to favor you?” the Emperor retorted sternly.
“You could have said so earlier, you scared me,” Lin Fan quickly stood up and put his clothes back on. “Then what are we doing here?”
“I brought you here to tell you that the place we’re going to is a secret realm accessible only to the most powerful beings. It’s the most mysterious place in this world. Once there, you better not cause any trouble, or even I won’t be able to protect you,” the Emperor said sternly, though a hint of concern flickered in her eyes.
The Emperor knew Lin Fan well. This secret realm was unknown to all but the most powerful.
She had considered not informing him, but given their relationship, she couldn’t bring herself to keep it from him.
What the Emperor didn’t know was that even if she hadn’t informed him, the Great Sage and the Primordial Demon God would have found a way to notify Lin Fan, though whether they could locate him was another matter.
“I never cause trouble, and my strength isn’t weak. Even if those powerful beings want to kill me, they’ll have to see if they have the capability,” Lin Fan said defiantly.
He was a man of honor; how could he rely on a woman for protection?
It was downright insulting.
“That’s for the best,” the Emperor’s slender phoenix eyes sparkled with intelligence. “Remember, the secret realm is fraught with danger. Even the most powerful beings must tread carefully. Though your strength is considerable, you must remain vigilant.”
At this moment, Lin Fan noticed that the Emperor seemed genuinely concerned for him. Could it be that over time, she had developed feelings for him? It was quite possible.
After all, they had spent years together; surely some affection had developed.
“Little Water, could it be that you’ve developed feelings for me?” Lin Fan whispered, but the moment the words left his mouth, the Emperor’s anger flared.
“Hey, no need to get violent! Let’s talk this out. Alright, alright, I won’t joke anymore,” Lin Fan quickly waved his hands. It was just a joke; no need to get physical.
Honestly, she had no sense of humor. How dull.
However, the secret realm the Emperor mentioned intrigued Lin Fan greatly.
He wondered what kind of place it could be, to make even the Emperor so serious.
The Emperor was one of the most powerful beings, with immense strength. If even she felt it was dangerous, could it be some kind of hell on earth?
At this moment, Lin Fan’s heart was filled with anticipation. He couldn’t wait to see what treasures lay within the secret realm.
“I’ll come for you in three days,” the Emperor said before vanishing into the void.
“Mysterious as always,” Lin Fan muttered, then habitually observed the world of Xuanhuang from a god’s perspective.
The development of Xuanhuang was proceeding smoothly, with no major issues.
The Chaos Demon King, Wang Xiaoming, had not disappointed him, thriving in Xuanhuang and reaching the tenth level of the Eternal God Realm.
Other prodigies were also doing well, spurred on by Wang Xiaoming’s relentless challenges, pushing them to improve constantly.
Wang Xiaoming would harass these prodigies every half month, driving them to the brink of madness, forcing them to train relentlessly.
Lin Fan’s two disciples, Zhi Qiao and Jiu You, were also diligently cultivating, their strength growing steadily. They were just one step away from reaching the tenth level of the Eternal God Realm.
What surprised Lin Fan the most was Mie Qiongqi, who had been in seclusion and had reached the initial stage of the Supreme Realm.
Perhaps Mie Qiongqi was now the strongest being in Xuanhuang.
Lin Fan then turned his attention to Xuan Yunxian, his wife, who was also in seclusion.
Perhaps she knew that outside Xuanhuang, there were many uncertainties, and only with great strength could she be of help.
But all of this still seemed insignificant compared to the most powerful beings.
Lin Fan now controlled four worlds. Among them, the beings within his personal realm were the strongest, followed by the Bat World, Xuanhuang, and finally, Earth.
As for Earth, Lin Fan had no expectations. The beings there were too weak, and even with ample time, they might never catch up.
After all, it wasn’t just a matter of time but also of foundation.
Three days later.
The Emperor of Water and Fire appeared before Lin Fan.
“Follow me, and remember, don’t cause any trouble,” the Emperor reiterated.
“Understood.”
…
After what felt like an eternity, though for Lin Fan, it was a considerable amount of time, they arrived at their destination. For the Emperor, who could traverse the river of time, such a long journey indicated an extraordinary distance.
When Lin Fan finally saw what lay before him, he was utterly stunned.
“What the hell is this place?”
Before him stood two impossibly tall stone gates, sealing the heavens and the earth. Countless mysterious runes were carved into them, and a thick, unknown divine chain bound the gates tightly.
An eternal, ancient aura emanated from the gates, making anyone feel insignificant and powerless.
What on earth was this?
“Am I not a proud and upright man? Do I really need a woman to protect me?”
“Exactly,” the Water-Fire Emperor replied, her long, phoenix-like eyes sparkling with a lively gleam. “Remember, this secret realm is full of dangers. Even the mightiest dare not be careless there. Although your strength is not bad, you still need to be cautious within.”
At this moment, Lin Fan suddenly realized that the Water-Fire Emperor seemed to genuinely care about him. Could this be what they called growing affection through time? Thinking about it, it was quite possible.
After all, they had spent several years together. Of course, some feelings must have developed.
“Little Water, could it be that you’ve fallen for me?” Lin Fan asked quietly. But as soon as he said it, the Water-Fire Emperor immediately became furious.
“Ow, don’t hit me! Let’s talk nicely. Alright, alright, I won’t talk nonsense anymore. I really won’t,” Lin Fan quickly waved his hands. After all, it was just a joke. Was there really a need to get physical?
Honestly, she had no sense of humor at all. How boring.
However, the secret realm mentioned by the Water-Fire Emperor greatly intrigued Lin Fan.
He was really curious about what kind of place it was to make the Water-Fire Emperor so serious.
The Water-Fire Emperor was a mightiest being, with terrifying power. If even she felt it was dangerous, could it be some kind of hell on earth?
At this moment, Lin Fan’s heart was filled with anticipation. He wondered what treasures might be hidden within this secret realm.
“In three days, I will come for you,” the Water-Fire Emperor said, before vanishing into the void and leaving.
“So mysterious,” Lin Fan muttered, then instinctively looked down at the Xuanhuang Realm from the perspective of a god.
The Xuanhuang Realm was developing smoothly, without any major issues.
Wang Xiaoming, the Chaos King, had indeed lived up to Lin Fan’s expectations. He was thriving in the Xuanhuang Realm, and his cultivation had reached the Tenth Heaven of Divine Immortality.
Other young talents were also doing well. Under Wang Xiaoming’s constant pressure, they had no choice but to progress.
Wang Xiaoming would actively “harass” these young talents every half month, leaving them overwhelmed and exasperated. Each of them was driven to work hard, either training or studying.
His two apprentices, Zhiqiao and Jiuyou, were also diligently cultivating and had reached a decent level of cultivation. They only needed a chance to become Tenth Heaven of Divine Immortality experts.
What surprised Lin Fan the most was the Mieqiongqi, who had been in seclusion all along and had now reached the early stage of the Sovereign Realm.
Perhaps the current Mieqiongqi was the most powerful existence in the Xuanhuang Realm.
Then Lin Fan looked at Xuan Yunxian, the woman he had taken as his wife. She was also in seclusion.
Perhaps she knew that there were many unstable factors outside the Xuanhuang Realm. Only by possessing great power could she help him.
However, all of this was still insignificant to the mightiest beings.
Lin Fan now had four worlds. The beings within his own cave-heaven had the strongest power, followed closely by the Bat Realm, then the Xuanhuang Realm, and finally Earth.
As for Earth, Lin Fan had no expectations. The beings there were just too weak. Even if given enough time, they might not necessarily catch up.
After all, the gap wasn’t just about time, but also about foundational strength.
Three days later.
The Water-Fire Emperor appeared before Lin Fan.
“Follow me. Remember, don’t cause any trouble,” the Water-Fire Emperor repeated insistently.
“I know.”
…
It was unknown how long had passed, but for Lin Fan, it was definitely a long time. For the Water-Fire Emperor, who could traverse the river of time as a mightiest being, the fact that such a long duration was needed suggested that the distance was beyond ordinary comprehension.
When Lin Fan finally saw everything before him clearly, his heart was completely stunned.
“What the hell is this place?”
Before Lin Fan stood two stone gates of indeterminate height, sealing the heavens and earth. They were engraved with countless mysterious runes, and even a thick, unknown divine chain locked the two stone gates tightly.
An eternal, ancient aura emanated from these stone gates.
This aura made anyone feel as if they were extremely insignificant, completely powerless to resist.
What the hell was this?
