After the Jiuxiao Sect departed, the sacred sect’s headquarters once again returned to its original state.
After the departure of the Nine Heavens Sect, the Holy Sect returned to its original state.
As for winning first place in the Strongest Prodigy Battle, Lin Fan didn’t feel much about it. There was nothing special, no special treatment, and everything was just as quiet as before.
This made Lin Fan’s heart ache a little.
He used to read those novels where the first-place winner in any competition would either be highly valued by the sect or receive generous rewards.
But in this Strongest Prodigy Battle, there wasn’t even a single hair of reward, which was quite frustrating.
However, Lin Fan still greatly admired the generous Xin Feng.
The high-level technique “Sword of the Heavens” was given to him without a second thought, which was truly admirable.
Inside the room.
Lin Fan decided to learn the two techniques first and then pass them on to his little disciple.
“Ding, discovered the Heaven-rank high-level technique ‘Sword of the Heavens.’ Do you wish to learn it?”
“Learn.”
“Ding, congratulations on learning ‘Sword of the Heavens,’ Level 1.”
What Lin Fan liked most about the system was that any technique could be learned instantly without the need for gradual comprehension. He could directly start practicing.
At this moment, Lin Fan’s eyes focused, and the previously calm surroundings suddenly rippled, the void like water waves, emitting continuous fluctuations.
“Sword Intent…”
This was the Sword Intent of “Sword of the Heavens.” Lin Fan could feel its power, and his combined techniques seemed to be suppressed by it.
The “Sword Canon” mental technique he had learned also underwent a slight change at this moment, as if being drawn by the “Sword of the Heavens.”
Buzz…
At this moment, a sword formed from Sword Intent quietly floated behind Lin Fan.
Lin Fan was delighted. Being able to condense Sword Intent right after learning it was indeed impressive.
Lin Fan tried it out, waving his finger forward, and the sword formed from Sword Intent instantly shot out towards the direction he pointed.
In that instant, Lin Fan retracted the sword and then grasped it with his hand, feeling a bit strange.
The sword formed from Sword Intent felt like a physical object, but it was weightless in his hand, and he could sense the vast Sword Intent within it.
At this point, Lin Fan thought about merging his techniques but decided against it. Without fully understanding it, he didn’t dare to take the risk.
As for the other technique, Lin Fan felt it was of no use to him.
The only function of this technique was to slowly awaken the bloodline of a beast, but how long it would take was uncertain.
When Lin Fan stepped out of the room and looked at the dark clouds in the sky, he had an idea.
It was time to go out for a while. In the current situation, improving his cultivation was the most important thing.
A few days later.
In a sky thousands of miles away from the Holy Sect.
A warship was flying rapidly through the blue sky and white clouds. The strong gale blew against it but was blocked by a force.
The disciples of the Nine Heavens Sect had already covered half the distance and would reach the Nine Heavens Sect in a few days.
They hadn’t encountered any danger along the way, which was quite fortunate.
“Feng’er, you gave ‘Sword of the Heavens’ to that boy?” Liang Yichu looked at his disciple, feeling a bit strange. This disciple had been with him since childhood, so why was he so generous this time?
“Yes, Master. I gave ‘Sword of the Heavens’ to him without your permission. Please forgive me,” Xin Feng said, bowing his head.
“It’s fine. It’s just a technique. Giving it away is fine,” Liang Yichu waved his hand, not minding much. However, as they got closer to the Nine Heavens Sect, he felt a bit helpless.
What should he say when he returned?
He had carried the expectations of the entire sect to the Holy Sect to win the Strongest Prodigy Battle, but now they had lost, and they had lost convincingly. He really didn’t know what to do.
At this moment, Liang Yichu’s expression changed, and he waved his hand to stop the warship.
“Master, what’s wrong?” Xin Feng asked, seeing his master’s serious expression.
“There’s something wrong here,” Liang Yichu immediately went to the bow of the ship and focused his gaze through the white clouds, looking below.
The prodigy disciples of the Nine Heavens Sect were also puzzled by the sudden stop and followed Liang Yichu’s lead, looking down.
“Such a strong murderous aura.” While the warship was moving, they hadn’t sensed this aura, but now that they had stopped, a thick murderous aura rose from the ground, filling the entire sky.
“Strange, why didn’t we notice this on the way here?” Liang Yichu was very puzzled. “Wait here, I’ll go down and take a look.”
At this moment, Liang Yichu flew down towards the ground.
As he got closer to the ground, Liang Yichu’s expression became more serious.
The murderous aura was too thick, almost forming a liquid.
“This is a village.”
After landing, Liang Yichu looked around with a grave expression. The houses around him were lifeless, devoid of any vitality.
The originally yellowish ground was now pitch black, as if they had entered hell.
Liang Yichu followed the aura forward, but when he saw the source of the aura, he was stunned.
A bottomless pit had appeared out of nowhere, and black smoke was surging out of it.
Liang Yichu waved his sleeve, creating a gust of wind that scattered the black smoke, but in an instant, the smoke burst out of the pit again, enveloping the entire village.
“Hmph, let’s see what dares to harm innocent people here,” Liang Yichu snorted coldly and ventured into the pit.
Liang Yichu, at the peak of the Great Heaven Realm, was invincible in the Eastern Spirit Continent and feared no danger.
As he went deeper, Liang Yichu’s expression became more serious. The further down he went, the thicker the murderous aura became, even forming a barrier to block anyone from entering.
When Liang Yichu reached the bottom, he carefully observed his surroundings. The pit was like a sinister underground palace.
“What kind of place is this?” Liang Yichu was very puzzled.
He looked around, seeing only dark cliffs. He knew all the dangerous places in the Eastern Spirit Continent, but he had never heard of such a place.
Such a thick murderous aura should have attracted the attention of other sects, so it must have appeared recently.
“Keke…”
At this moment, a sinister laugh came from all directions.
“Come out!” Liang Yichu snorted coldly, his body emitting a golden light that illuminated the entire underground palace, making everything clear.
This left Lin Fan somewhat pained inside.
In novels he had read before, the champion of such competitions would always receive recognition from the sect or be rewarded generously.
After the departure of the Nine Heavens Sect, the Holy Sect returned to its original state.
As for winning first place in the Ultimate Prodigy Battle, Lin Fan didn’t feel much about it. There was nothing special, no special treatment, and everything was just as quiet as before.
This made Lin Fan’s heart ache a little.
He had read in those novels that winning first place in a competition would either bring the attention of the sect or come with generous rewards.
But this Ultimate Prodigy Battle didn’t even offer a single hair, which was quite frustrating.
However, Lin Fan still greatly admired the generous Xin Feng.
The high-level technique “Sword of the Heavens” was given to him without a second thought, which was truly admirable.
Inside the room.
Lin Fan decided to learn the two techniques first and then pass them on to his little disciple.

At this moment, Lin Fan’s eyes focused, and the previously calm surroundings suddenly rippled, as if the void itself was trembling like water.
“Sword Intent…”
This was the Sword Intent of “Sword of the Heavens.” Lin Fan could feel its power, and his combined techniques seemed to be suppressed by it.
The “Sword Code” mental technique he had learned also underwent a subtle change at this moment, as if it was being drawn to the “Sword of the Heavens.”
Buzz…
At this moment, a sword formed from Sword Intent quietly floated behind Lin Fan.
Lin Fan was delighted. After learning it, he could immediately condense Sword Intent. It was truly impressive.

The journey had been uneventful, which was fortunate.
“Feng’er, you gave ‘Sword of the Heavens’ to that boy?” Liang Yichu looked at his disciple, feeling a bit strange. His disciple had been with him since childhood, so why was he so generous this time?
“Yes, Master. I gave ‘Sword of the Heavens’ to him without your permission. Please forgive me,” Xin Feng said, bowing his head.

What would he say when he returned?
The entire sect had high hopes for him to win the Ultimate Prodigy Battle at the Holy Sect, but now they had lost, and he had lost fair and square. He really didn’t know what to do when he returned.
At this moment, Liang Yichu’s expression changed, and he waved his hand to stop the warship.
“Master, what’s wrong?” Xin Feng asked, seeing his master’s serious expression.
“There’s something wrong here,” Liang Yichu immediately went to the bow of the ship and peered through the clouds below.

At this moment, Liang Yichu flew down toward the ground.
As he got closer to the ground, his expression became more serious.
The murderous aura was too strong, almost forming a liquid.
“This is a village.”
Liang Yichu landed, his expression grave. The houses around him were lifeless, devoid of any vitality.
The once yellow earth was now pitch black, as if they had entered hell.
Liang Yichu followed the aura forward, but when he saw its source, he was stunned.
A bottomless pit had appeared out of nowhere, and black smoke surged from it.
Liang Yichu waved his sleeve, creating a gust of wind that dispersed the black smoke, but in an instant, the smoke erupted from the pit again, enveloping the entire village.
“Hmph, let’s see what dares to harm innocent people here,” Liang Yichu snorted and ventured into the pit.

Such a strong murderous aura, yet it hadn’t attracted the attention of other sects. It must have appeared recently.
“Giggle…”
At this moment, a sinister laugh echoed from all directions.
“Come out!” Liang Yichu snorted, and a golden light burst from his body, illuminating the underground palace and making everything clear.
However, Lin Fan did appreciate Xinfeng’s generosity.
Such a high-end cultivation technique as “Heavenly Sword,” given away without even a blink—truly admirable.
Inside the room.
Lin Fan decided to learn the two techniques first, and then pass them on to his little apprentice.
“Ding, Heavenly High-tier technique ‘Heavenly Sword’ detected. Learn it?”
“Learn.”
“Ding, congratulations, you have learned ‘Heavenly Sword,’ Level 1.”
What Lin Fan loved most about his system was that any technique he obtained could be learned instantly—no need for slow comprehension. He could directly begin cultivation.
At this moment, Lin Fan’s eyes sharpened. The originally calm surroundings suddenly rippled, as if the air itself had become water, sending waves outward.
“Sword intent…”
This was the sword intent from “Heavenly Sword.” Lin Fan could clearly sense its power, while the technique he had previously fused seemed to be suppressed by the “Heavenly Sword.”
The “Sword Canon” technique he had learned also subtly changed at this moment, as if being drawn toward the “Heavenly Sword.”
Buzz…
At that instant, a longsword formed entirely of sword intent quietly floated behind Lin Fan.
Lin Fan’s heart leapt with joy. Being able to condense sword intent immediately after learning the technique—truly formidable.
Testing it out, Lin Fan flicked his finger forward, and the sword of sword intent instantly shot forth, rushing toward the direction he pointed.
In that instant, Lin Fan recalled the sword and grabbed the sword of sword intent with one hand, feeling somewhat strange.
This sword of sword intent felt solid, yet it was feather-light in his hand, without any weight at all. He could even sense the immense sword intent within.
At this moment, Lin Fan had the idea of fusing techniques, but he quickly dismissed it. Without fully understanding it, he dared not take any risks.
As for the other technique, Lin Fan found it practically useless to him.
Its only function was to slowly awaken a beast’s bloodline, and even then, there was no telling when—or if—it would ever fully awaken.
When Lin Fan stepped outside, he gazed at the dark clouds gathering in the distance and had a thought.
Soon, he should probably go out again. Right now, improving his own cultivation was the most important thing.
A few days later.
In a sky far tens of thousands of miles from the Sacred Sect.
A warship soared swiftly through the blue sky, cutting through the strong headwinds, which were blocked by a protective force.
The disciples of the Jiuxiao Sect had already completed half the journey and would arrive at Jiuxiao Sect in a few more days.
The journey had been smooth without any danger—truly fortunate.
“Feng’er, you gave that young man the ‘Heavenly Sword’?” Liang Yichu looked at his disciple with a strange feeling. His disciple had followed him since childhood, but this time he had been unusually generous.
“Yes, Master. I gave it to him without your permission. I beg you not to be angry,” Xinfeng replied, lowering his head.
“It doesn’t matter. Just a technique. Giving it away is fine,” Liang Yichu waved his hand indifferently. But as they drew closer to Jiuxiao Sect, Liang Yichu couldn’t help feeling helpless.
How was he going to explain things when he returned?
After the departure of the Nine Heavens Sect, the Sacred Sect returned to its original state.
As for winning first place in the Strongest Prodigy Battle, Lin Fan didn’t feel much about it. There was no reward, no special treatment—everything remained quiet.
This left Lin Fan with a sense of disappointment.
In the novels he had read, winning first place in a competition always meant either gaining the sect’s attention or receiving generous rewards.
But in this Strongest Prodigy Battle, there was nothing—not even a single hair. It was truly frustrating.
However, Lin Fan still held great affection for the generous Xin Feng.
The high-level technique “Sword of the Heavens” was given to him without hesitation, which was truly admirable.
Inside his room, Lin Fan decided to first learn the two techniques and then pass them on to his disciple.
“Ding, detected the Heaven-tier high-level technique ‘Sword of the Heavens.’ Would you like to learn it?”
“Learn.”
“Ding, congratulations on mastering ‘Sword of the Heavens,’ Level 1.”
What Lin Fan loved most about the system was that any technique, once in his hands, could be learned instantly without the need for gradual comprehension. He could directly start practicing.
At this moment, Lin Fan’s eyes focused, and the previously calm surroundings suddenly rippled, as if the void itself was trembling like water.
“Sword Intent…”
This was the Sword Intent of “Sword of the Heavens.” Lin Fan could feel its power, and his fused techniques seemed to be suppressed by it.

Lin Fan felt a surge of joy. Being able to condense Sword Intent immediately after learning the technique was truly impressive.
He tried it out, waving his finger forward. The sword formed from Sword Intent instantly shot out toward the direction he pointed.
In that split second, Lin Fan retracted the sword and then grasped it with his hand. It felt strange—the sword formed from Sword Intent was as solid as a physical object, yet it was weightless in his hand, and he could feel the immense Sword Intent within it.
Lin Fan considered fusing the techniques but decided against it. Without fully understanding them, he didn’t dare take the risk.

It was time to venture out soon. In the current situation, improving his cultivation was of utmost importance.
A few days later, in a sky thousands of miles away from the Sacred Sect.
A warship flew swiftly through the blue sky and white clouds. The fierce winds were blocked by a protective force.
The disciples of the Nine Heavens Sect had already covered half the distance and would reach their sect in a few days.
The journey had been uneventful, which was fortunate.
“Feng’er, did you give ‘Sword of the Heavens’ to that boy?” Liang Yichu looked at his disciple, feeling a bit odd. His disciple had been by his side since childhood, so why had he been so generous this time?
“Yes, Master. I gave ‘Sword of the Heavens’ to him without your permission. Please forgive me,” Xin Feng said, bowing his head.
“It’s fine. It’s just a technique. Giving it away is no big deal,” Liang Yichu waved his hand, not minding much. However, as they got closer to the Nine Heavens Sect, he felt a sense of helplessness.
What would he say when he returned?
The entire sect had placed their hopes on him to win the Strongest Prodigy Battle at the Sacred Sect, but now they had lost—and lost convincingly. He had no idea how to explain it.
At that moment, Liang Yichu’s expression changed, and he stopped the warship with a wave of his hand.
“Master, what’s wrong?” Xin Feng asked, noticing his master’s serious expression.
“There’s something wrong here,” Liang Yichu immediately went to the bow of the ship and peered through the clouds below.
The prodigy disciples of the Nine Heavens Sect, seeing the warship stop, also looked down in confusion.
“Such a strong aura of malevolence,” one of them said. While the warship was moving, they hadn’t sensed it, but now that they had stopped, the aura rose from the ground, filling the sky.
“Strange, we didn’t notice this on the way here,” Liang Yichu said, puzzled. “Wait here. I’ll go down and investigate.”
Liang Yichu then flew down toward the ground.
As he got closer, his expression grew more serious.
The aura of malevolence was so thick that it was almost liquid.
“This is a village,” Liang Yichu said as he landed. The houses around him were lifeless, devoid of any vitality.
The once-yellow earth was now pitch black, as if they had entered hell.
Liang Yichu followed the aura forward, but when he saw its source, he was stunned.
A bottomless pit had appeared out of nowhere, with black smoke billowing out of it.
Liang Yichu waved his sleeve, sending a gust of wind to disperse the smoke, but in an instant, it surged out again, enveloping the entire village.
“Hmph, let’s see what dares to harm innocent people here,” Liang Yichu snorted and descended into the pit.
As a Great Heaven Realm cultivator, Liang Yichu was invincible in the Eastern Spirit Continent and feared no danger.
As he went deeper, his expression grew more serious. The aura of malevolence became thicker, forming a barrier that blocked anyone from entering.
When Liang Yichu reached the bottom, he carefully examined the surroundings. The pit was like a sinister underground palace.
“What is this place?” Liang Yichu wondered.
He looked around at the dark cliffs. He knew all the dangerous places in the Eastern Spirit Continent, but he had no idea how such a place could exist here.
Such a strong aura of malevolence should have attracted the attention of other sects, so it must have appeared recently.
“Keh keh…”
At that moment, a sinister laugh echoed from all directions.
“Show yourself!” Liang Yichu snorted, and a golden light erupted from his body, illuminating the underground palace and making everything clear.
Just then, Liang Yichu’s expression changed. He raised his hand and immediately halted the warship.
“Master, what’s wrong?” Seeing his master’s serious expression, Xinfeng couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
“There’s something wrong here,” Liang Yichu said, stepping to the bow and focusing his gaze through the clouds below.
The disciples of Jiuxiao Sect, sensing the sudden stop, also looked down with puzzled expressions.
“So thick a murderous aura,” one of them murmured. While the warship had been moving, they hadn’t noticed it, but now that they had stopped, the oppressive, bloodthirsty energy rose from the ground, filling the entire sky.
“Strange. Why didn’t we notice this on the way here?” Liang Yichu frowned. “Wait here. I’ll go check it out.”
With that, Liang Yichu flew down from the warship.
As he descended closer to the ground, his expression grew increasingly grave.
The murderous aura was too dense—it was almost turning into liquid.
“This was once a village.”
Upon landing, Liang Yichu’s expression darkened. The houses around him were lifeless and devoid of any vitality.
The once yellow earth was now pitch black, as if he had stepped into hell itself.
Following the aura, Liang Yichu moved forward, but when he reached its source, he froze.
A bottomless pit had appeared out of nowhere, with thick black mist surging violently from within.
Liang Yichu flicked his sleeve, unleashing a gust of sharp wind that scattered the mist. But in an instant, the black mist surged out again from the pit, once more enveloping the entire village.
“Hmph. Let’s see what kind of thing dares to harm innocent lives here,” Liang Yichu coldly snorted and descended into the pit.
Liang Yichu was at the peak of the Grand Heaven Realm—an unrivaled expert in the Dongling Continent. He had no fear of any danger.
As he descended deeper, his expression grew heavier. The further down he went, the denser the murderous aura became, forming a barrier that resisted any intrusion.
When Liang Yichu finally landed at the bottom, he carefully examined his surroundings. The pit below resembled a sinister underground palace.
“What kind of place is this?” Liang Yichu muttered, puzzled.
Looking around, he saw only pitch-black cliffs. He was familiar with all the dangerous places in Dongling, yet he had never heard of this place before.
Such a thick murderous aura, and yet no other sect had noticed it—perhaps it had only recently appeared.
“Jiejie…”
Suddenly, a sinister laughter echoed from all directions.
“Come out!” Liang Yichu coldly snarled, his entire body radiating golden light that illuminated the underground palace, revealing everything clearly.
