Chapter 123: Shaking the Jixian Sect

"Eh?"

However, after coming out, Xiao Fan discovered that the furnishings in the Secret Room were in disarray, seemingly caused by a strong vibration…

"Could it be because of the commotion caused when I shattered the stars just now?"

Xiao Fan murmured, guessing the reason as he walked out of the Immortal Cave.

At this moment, he saw the Golden-Haired Lion hiding in a corner of the Immortal Cave, shivering uncontrollably…

Its massive body trembled incessantly… it was terrified.

Seeing Xiao Fan come out, it let out a "wu-ao" and ran straight to his side, howling non-stop…

Xiao Fan felt as if he had missed something…

Outside the Immortal Cave, he saw many deacons and Elders flying busily in all directions through the air.

Outside the Immortal Cave, broken vegetation was everywhere, the ground was covered in rubble, and even the mountain itself seemed somewhat tilted and deformed.

"This…"

Xiao Fan felt that he had still underestimated the commotion this time.

At the same time, he felt a bit guilty, sensing that this was likely related to him…

Although he didn't know exactly how much of a stir he had caused, he certainly couldn't admit to it.

So, he silently retreated back into the Immortal Cave…

Meanwhile, in the deepest part of the Jixian Sect.

Inside a mountain cave where the Spiritual Qi was dense, surrounded by lava, and the stifling temperature was suffocating…

The white-haired Ancestor of Jixian Sect performed hand seals, calculating incessantly…

His expression was extremely solemn; one could even see cold sweat dripping from his face bit by bit…

His back was already soaked with sweat.

*Pfft*

A moment later, he spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning flushed…

"Heavenly secrets… cannot be revealed… have I suffered a backlash…"

Fear flashed in his eyes; such an expression was extremely rare on the face of this Old Ancestor with heaven-reaching cultivation.

"Just what could have caused such a massive upheaval…"

"Forget it… forget it…"

The Ancestor of Jixian Sect murmured, a jade bottle appearing out of thin air in his hand. He poured out two golden, shimmering Medicinal Pills and swallowed them.

His complexion began to recover… he closed his eyes to regulate his breathing.

In the end, he gave up on the divination and calculations.

Because he knew that with his current strength, he was far from capable enough.

And from the sliver of heavenly secrets that had leaked just now, he also sensed that the suffocating danger had vanished…

No one knew what the Ancestor of Jixian Sect was thinking.

Meanwhile, the source of all the trouble, Xiao Fan, was cultivating with his eyes closed…

…studying this Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique.

Stars Shifting!

"Stars Shifting… as expected of a Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique, it's truly profound. It even contains such a terrifying Martial Skill…"

Xiao Fan murmured as he opened his eyes.

A night had already passed. He hadn't rested for a moment; after a brief recovery, he couldn't wait to study this technique.

Movement-type Cultivation Techniques are extremely rare, and a Heaven Rank one is even more incredibly precious.

Normally, the higher the rank of a Cultivation Technique, the higher the restrictions on one's cultivation level to practice it.

However, this movement-type Stars Shifting was different…

One could study it as long as their cultivation was in the Huaqi Realm, though the difficulty of cultivation was also immense.

But Xiao Fan's current talent could be said to be unprecedented and unique. Now that he had obtained the complete technique, mastering it was only a matter of time.

Xiao Fan slowly stood up and circulated the Martial Skill contained within Stars Shifting; his body instantly moved to a spot ten meters away.

"As expected… the body can teleport!"

Xiao Fan murmured, his eyes shining. In addition to increasing speed, Stars Shifting…

…the key was that it also contained a terrifying movement skill: Shadow Shifting!

Using extreme speed to perform instantaneous movement…

However, Xiao Fan had only just started, and coupled with his current cultivation…

…he could currently only move ten meters with Stars Shifting…

…and each movement consumed a massive amount of his spiritual power…

"It's actually no less than using the Throat-Crushing Lock once…"

Xiao Fan took a deep breath. The Throat-Crushing Lock was a killing move he had learned when he was at the third level of the Huaqi Realm.

It had been a heavy drain on him back then, but with his current cultivation, that consumption was nothing and could be used multiple times.

"At a critical moment, by relying on the Shadow Shifting within Stars Shifting and then coordinating it with the Six Harmonies Slash… against someone unprepared… anyone below the Tongtian Realm will surely die."

Xiao Fan murmured, his eyes full of brilliance.

After a simple wash and changing into a clean blue robe, Xiao Fan left the Immortal Cave.

Today was the day Elder Jiang Yushan would be giving a lecture.

Xiao Fan had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

He had wanted to learn Alchemy for more than just a day or two…

Inside the star chart were all sorts of precious Spirit Medicines and Spiritual Plants; he looked at them with envy…

Although there was no Pill Furnace inside…

…none of that was important.

After shattering the stars earlier, many books regarding Alchemy, Spiritual Plants, and Spirit Medicines were contained within.

He always felt that all of this was intentional on the part of the star chart…

…as if it were arranging or planning something.

The Jixian Sect had many Outer Sect Disciples, especially today, which was the day the Jixian Sect's Alchemy Elder would be teaching and lecturing.

In a grand hall capable of accommodating tens of thousands of people.

The surroundings were already filled with blue-robed Outer Sect Disciples and gray-robed Utility Disciples.

The number of Utility Disciples was far greater than that of the blue-robed Disciples.

This was the dedicated hall for the Outer Sect Elders to give public lectures.

It was free for all Disciples, whether they were Outer Sect Disciples or Utility Disciples.

Furthermore, for every class held, the Sect provided individual contribution point rewards to the lecturing Elder.

This was the case for most Elders; each had their own way of obtaining contribution points.

Following the map description on the Jade Slip, Xiao Fan arrived at the grand hall and was immediately taken aback.

He knew many people would come to the Elder's public lecture, but he hadn't expected there to be quite this many…
