Chapter 564: The Sky Full of Jealousy

“That’s incredible.”

Mu Qing stared at Lin Fan in awe. She hadn’t expected the man accompanying her junior apprentice sister to be so powerful.

On the contrary, Tianyun’s expression turned grim.

This man had shown off so impressively in front of him. Especially when he saw this man chatting casually with his beloved Hongyun junior apprentice sister, he felt even more displeased.

Hongyun junior apprentice sister was beautiful and gentle-natured. She wasn’t just admired by him alone within the sect; especially the senior apprentices above also held special feelings for her.

When he saw Hongyun arrive during the recent attack by three ancient race experts, Tianyun had been extremely excited. If during this secret realm adventure they could work together through hardships, perhaps some romantic feelings might develop between them. But now, all those hopes had been ruined by this strange man.

How could Tianyun possibly feel happy about this?

“Junior apprentice sister, who is this?” Tianyun asked with a hint of jealousy in his tone.

“Senior apprentices, this is Lin Fan, a prodigy of the Human Race. When I was being hunted by the邪盟, he was the one who saved me,” Hongyun explained.

“The邪盟?”

When Mu Qing and Tianyun heard that name, their expressions changed as well, their eyes revealing waves of reverence. Obviously, they had also experienced the ruthlessness of the Evil Alliance before.

“Lin Fan, these two are my senior apprentices, Tianyun and Mu Qing,” Hongyun introduced.

Lin Fan looked at the two and smiled calmly.

“When Hongyun and I entered the secret realm, ancient race experts were already there. I’m afraid the ancient race army will arrive soon,” Lin Fan said.

“Then we must hurry to find them. This place is too dangerous. If the ancient race army blocks the exit of the secret realm, we might never be able to leave,” Mu Qing said worriedly.

“He calls her so intimately. Someone who doesn’t know might think they’re a couple,” Tianyun thought bitterly, feeling heartache as he heard Lin Fan call Hongyun so naturally.

But what could he do now? The other’s strength was obviously much higher than his own, leaving him no opportunity to shine.

“Hongyun junior apprentice sister, your talent is extraordinary. Can you sense where the elders are located?” Mu Qing asked.

“I’ll try.”

The Fairy Hongyun wasn’t sure whether she could sense their location within this Water-Fire Secret Realm, but she could only give it a try at this point.

Lin Fan was also curious about the talent of the Fairy Hongyun, wondering what kind of extraordinary ability it specifically was.

In an instant, Lin Fan felt a strange ripple emanating from Hongyun Fairy. This ripple did not resemble magical power, nor did it seem like willpower. It was difficult to describe exactly what it was.

“I’ve sensed something, although it’s quite vague. It should be in that direction,” Hongyun Fairy said as she opened her eyes.

Just at this moment, Lin Fan frowned as a series of disturbances came from the distance behind them—someone was crossing through the void.

“The ancient race is chasing us. Let’s go.”

Without hesitation, Lin Fan flicked his sleeve and grabbed Hongyun, then suddenly jumped into the void, quickly traversing through it.

“What speed,” Mu Qing exclaimed in astonishment as he watched the sharp void currents striking Lin Fan’s body.

The faster one travels through the void, the stronger the currents one must endure.

From their perspective, this person’s speed while carrying them through the void was incredibly fast—perhaps even surpassing the elders.

If they had known that while Lin Fan was carrying them through the void, he had simultaneously activated the body technique called “Zhi Chi Tian Ya” (咫尺天涯), their eyes would surely have popped out in astonishment.

Once, a being from a Great Race at the Divine Heaven Stage, First True Law Realm, used a body technique while crossing the void. When he emerged from the void, all the flesh on his body had been stripped away by the currents, leaving only a skeleton.

Therefore, moving quickly through the void places great demands on the physical body’s strength.

At this moment, seeing Lin Fan’s incredible speed, Mu Qing’s heart was stirred. Just how strong was this human’s physical body?

As Lin Fan quickly traversed through the void, the blue void had long since disappeared.

In its place was a crimson sky ablaze with red light, and the temperature was gradually rising, as if they had entered a fiery hell.

“Water-Fire Emperor, there’s Primordial Elemental Fire here,” Hongyun said, observing the surroundings.

“This secret realm contains two types of Primordial Elements?” Lin Fan’s heart tensed. If that were truly the case, then entering this realm was definitely a huge gain.

No matter what, he must obtain this Primordial Elemental Fire.

“The Water-Fire Emperor was a powerful expert from ancient times who comprehended the true essence of water and fire. With each breath, he could exhale Primordial Water and Fire. Although he eventually perished, the true essence of water and fire he refined would never disappear. After such a long time, this place must now be filled with infinite Primordial Water and Fire.”

Hongyun possessed extensive knowledge. While in the sect, she had immersed herself in reading all kinds of scriptures and texts, developing a deep love for studying any and all texts.

Through long-term accumulation, the amount of knowledge stored in Hongyun’s mind had reached an astonishing level.

Looking at Hongyun at this moment, Lin Fan found himself liking her more and more. This woman was like a walking encyclopedia. If he could keep her by his side, what wouldn’t he know about the ancient holy world in the future?

If he could transfer all the knowledge from Hongyun’s mind into his own, how wonderful that would be.

Of course, this was just a fleeting thought.

If he transferred all the knowledge from Hongyun’s mind into his own, Hongyun would certainly become a complete idiot.

“Look, those fire spirits are absorbing Primordial Fire to cultivate,” Mu Qing exclaimed, pointing downward.

At this moment, below them, a towering fire giant dozens of zhang tall was devouring endless amounts of Primordial Fire while practicing various cultivation techniques.

These fire spirits, like the water spirits, were primordial beings born from the Primordial Fire itself.

Their cultivation speed was also astonishingly fast.

“A treasure land! This place is truly a treasure land,” Lin Fan said excitedly as he looked at this sea of fire.

If someone cultivated a fire-attribute cultivation technique, they could potentially reach the peak of that technique in the blink of an eye while immersed in this Primordial Fire.

After all, this Primordial Fire was an invaluable treasure, born from the heavens and earth themselves—an extremely rare treasure that could only be encountered by chance.

“Another living being dares to disturb the rest of the Water-Fire Emperor. It deserves to die,” the fire giant roared angrily, its eyes opening wide. The flames on its body seemed to possess sentience, constantly surging and transforming into various strange shapes.

But in an instant, a powerful force suddenly surged from the void and crushed this fire giant into dust.

A wisp of pure Primordial Fire merged into Lin Fan’s body.

“These fire spirits indeed contain infinite Primordial Fire. As long as I kill enough of them, I can definitely condense the River of Fire,” Lin Fan said excitedly.

This was a huge gain. This time, it was truly an incredible gain.

An undeveloped secret realm was indeed filled with treasures everywhere.

If it weren’t for meeting Fairy Hongyun, he probably wouldn’t have known about this place. Moreover, he wouldn’t have known when he could gather the Primordial Five Elements.

“Living beings have come to slay us. Fellow kin, unite and resist the external enemy together,” at this moment, Lin Fan killing a fire spirit had completely enraged these fire spirits.

Within this sea of fire, countless fire spirits roared in fury, unleashing countless fire-attribute techniques toward the void.

“What are you doing? We could have passed safely, but you deliberately killed the fire spirits. With so many fire spirits enraged, how can we possibly get through?” Tianyun saw Lin Fan’s actions provoke the fire spirits and provoke their counterattack, and couldn’t help feeling pleased.

This person who disregarded the overall situation would surely be disliked by his junior apprentice sister.

However, an unbelievable scene quietly unfolded before his eyes.
