Chapter 140: Even a God is an Ant

“I have important matters to discuss!”

Zhang Haobo’s voice echoed between heaven and earth.

The Cultivators of Wanxian Island heard this and their expressions varied, their reactions differing.

“What a boastful tone. He’s just a Golden Core cultivator, what important matter could he possibly have?”

“Exactly! He even used the power of the heaven and earth wind disaster to pressure Wanxian Island. This is simply an insult to Wanxian Island, as if we have no one!”

“Why hasn’t that Immortal Lord slapped this kid to death yet! It’s killing me!”

“Watching him show off like this is even more unbearable than losing a Cultivation Technique!”

“To possess such bearing at only Golden Core cultivation. This child will surely achieve great things in the future.”

“Cultivating for less than ten years, yet with Golden Core cultivation, he commands the wind over Wanxian Island. This feat reminds me of the legendary Young Master Jinglun.”

…

Ignoring the clamor coming from Wanxian Island in the distance, Zhang Haobo remained calm, waiting patiently.

A moment later, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

Dressed in white, holding a feather fan, he exuded an elegant demeanor.

He narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing Zhang Haobo: “Golden Core? Important matter?”

“It’s been a long time since I’ve met such an interesting young person!”

Zhang Haobo looked directly at the other party, his expression unchanged, and said calmly: “Golden Core, Soul Transformation, all are ants.”

The white-robed Soul Transformation Immortal Lord’s hand, which was fanning, paused. He re-examined Zhang Haobo.

Only this time, there was a hint of seriousness in his gaze.

A moment later, he pointed with his feather fan: “In that case, come with me!”

Then, the white-robed Soul Transformation Immortal Lord and Zhang Haobo disappeared from the sight of the Wanxian Island Cultivators.

Only the giant cyan tornado continued to spin tirelessly.

In the sky, a void suddenly appeared in the clouds.

Brilliant starlight shone down, and the tornado of Qing Feng gradually dissipated into nothingness.

Only the discussions of the Cultivators of Wanxian Island lingered for a long time.

Zhang Haobo’s vision blurred, and he suddenly found himself on a mountaintop.

Clouds and mist swirled, with only the tips of distant mountains visible.

The white-robed Soul Transformation Immortal Lord stood at the edge of the cliff on the mountaintop, his back to him.

“This place forms its own domain, capable of isolating the Heavenly Dao’s perception. You can speak freely about whatever you have to say.”

Zhang Haobo first surveyed his surroundings again, observing for a moment.

With his current cultivation, he couldn’t discern anything special about this place.

So he then spoke: “Senior, do you know that within this Congyun Sea, there is a heaven and earth spirit hidden?”

The white-robed Soul Transformation Immortal Lord turned around, looking at Zhang Haobo with interest, and said: “Are you referring to that Qing Feng, which is in a stalemate with the sword hilt?”

“Although I don’t know how you came to know of this, if you think this matter is some kind of Opportunity, then you’re mistaken.”

“The Soul Transformation Stage Cultivators in Congyun Sea and even the surrounding few states all know of Qing Feng’s existence.”

“But no one dares to refine it, do you know why?”

Zhang Haobo’s expression remained unchanged as he replied: “Is it because of that sword hilt?”

The white-robed Soul Transformation Immortal Lord nodded: “Every time a heaven and earth spirit appears, it has a heavenly duty. According to our observations, Qing Feng’s duty is to destroy that sword hilt.”

“A hundred years ago, an outside Soul Transformation Immortal Lord passed by, detected Qing Feng’s existence, and wanted to refine it.”

“As a result, Qing Feng used a cage to imprison him and the sword hilt together.”

“The Evil Qi of that sword hilt immediately erupted, its target not Qing Feng’s cage, but this Soul Transformation Immortal Lord.”

“Qing Feng also launched an attack at the opportune moment.”

“It was equivalent to two Combined Dao Immortals attacking simultaneously, and this Soul Transformation Immortal Lord perished on the spot.”

Zhang Haobo pondered this upon hearing it.

“Two Combined Dao Immortals are in a struggle, deadlocked. But if others interfere, especially weaker ones, they will be seen as a provocation.”

“They will attack en masse, is that right?”

The white-robed Soul Transformation Immortal Lord fanned his feather fan: “A teachable young man.”

Zhang Haobo, however, changed the subject, suddenly saying: “However, the heaven and earth spirit I’m referring to is not Qing Feng.”

“The sword hilt broke free and flew to an unknown location. And Qing Feng pursued it.”

The white-robed Soul Transformation Immortal Lord’s movements suddenly froze.

“What I’m talking about is a heaven and earth spirit that has not yet appeared but is about to appear in Congyun Sea.”

Zhang Haobo’s eyes seemed to wander, as if he was recalling something.

The white-robed Soul Transformation Immortal Lord put down his feather fan, staring intently at Zhang Haobo.

His expression was serious.

Above the mountains, large patches of dark clouds gathered, obscuring the sky.

…

Li Fan was currently unaware of what was happening in the outside world.

He had been completely engrossed in the study of Formations.

The person who was studying with him finally couldn’t endure such an extremely abnormal ascetic practice after three months and voluntarily gave up.

He chose to leave.

Zhang Zhiliang said nothing, but shortly after, he brought another person back to teach Formations.

Li Fan didn’t pay any attention to these things happening around him.

He focused wholeheartedly on studying Formations.

When he felt tired, a silver incense was lit automatically.

He didn’t stop for even a moment.

Zhang Zhiliang looked at Li Fan with increasing satisfaction.

Such days continued for two years.

When the previously set reminder time arrived, Li Fan finally awoke from his studies.

He looked at the detailed Formation diagrams, which were broken down into countless minute images, with some reluctance, then shifted his gaze to Zhang Zhiliang.

“Master Zhang, I have something important and need to go out for a trip,” Li Fan explained.

Zhang Zhiliang nodded: “You’ve been studying continuously for so long, it’s time to go out and relax.”

After pondering for a moment, he handed Li Fan a white glowing cube.

“Take this for self-defense, in case of any unexpected situations.”

Li Fan observed the cube in his hand, discerning traces of dozens of stacked Formations within it.

Zhang Zhiliang continued: “This is an Array Crown, formed by stacking over a hundred different Formations on top of each other.”

“The most precious Formation among them is a teleportation Formation.”

“When you encounter an opponent you cannot defeat, you can use this teleportation Formation to teleport to a random location a hundred thousand miles away.”

“Since you’ve studied with me for so long, you should know how to use this item, so I won’t elaborate.”

Li Fan knew the preciousness of this item, because the Formations within this Array Crown were not single-use.

After each activation, it could absorb surrounding Spiritual Qi to recharge itself.

Once recharged, it could be used again.

It was far superior to those Formation diagrams that often broke after only a few uses.

Zhang Zhiliang entrusting this item to Li Fan also, to some extent, showed his attitude towards Li Fan.

Li Fan immediately thanked Zhang Zhiliang and then left Ce Zhen Hall.

This outing was naturally because the time for the cang hai pearl to appear was very near.

The cang hai pearl was the Foundation Establishment wonder he had set for this life, and it could not be lost.

So he left his seclusion early and went to Liuyun Island to wait.

Not in a hurry to depart, Li Fan, as usual, inquired about the major events that had occurred in the past two years.

Only then did he learn about the commotion Zhang Haobo had caused.

“It was indeed a big move. Extraordinary bearing, truly extraordinary bearing!” Li Fan exclaimed.

“So, now, it can be said that the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance should already know that the Crimson Flame Burning Sea incident will occur next.”

“I wonder how they will respond.”
