Chapter 159 Faded Memories

Chapter 159: Fading Memories

Heavenly Domain.

News of the Secret Realm’s appearance spread like wildfire, attracting attention from all directions. More and more Lower Realm forces became involved, even alarming the Outer Domain.

Butian Sect was among them, following instructions from the Upper Realm to ascend the immortal island in search of Lin Fan, who had been missing for a long time.

“Hahaha, I never thought there would be such a place in the Eight Regions, it’s unbelievable!” An old man with a white beard laughed heartily, golden Divine Power swirling around him, his strength extraordinary.

Clearly, he was a deity who had ignited his Divine Fire, but what was unexpected was that a powerhouse of his caliber had come to this place, and he was not the only one.

It was evident that the Immortal Treasure was alluring, and too many immortal Dao lineages had arrived. Western Sect, Immortal Mountain, and others had come across domains without hesitation.

Many of these forces were connected to the Upper Realm, having existed for ages with unimaginable foundations, far surpassing ordinary sects. Crossing domains was simple for them.

Sometimes, their influence extended beyond a single domain, making them very famous throughout the entire Lower Realm.

“Have you found him?” Yue Chan whispered, her dress fluttering, a veil covering her face, giving her a hazy aura that made one curious to uncover her true appearance.

However, her temperament was too ethereal; with skin like ice and bones like jade, she floated like an immortal, enveloped in a layer of holy radiance, utterly transcendent and inviolable.

If an ordinary person stood before her, they would find it difficult to remain composed, even feeling ashamed of themselves, captivated by her grace.

“Saintess, I heard Young Master ascended Reincarnation Peak over a month ago and hasn’t come down,” Granny Xihua said.

“Go up and find him.” Yue Chan’s voice was like a heavenly melody, and she was about to step forward.

“Saintess, be careful. The pressure on the mountain path is extraordinary, and it gets stronger the higher you go. According to Grand Elder’s estimation, only those whose Physical Body has surpassed the extreme limit can reach the summit.”

“Then you all seek Opportunity below; I will go up alone.”

…

“My Primordial Spirit power is astonishing now!” Lin Fan said with a smile, unable to resist praising himself.

At this moment, his glabella glowed, and a small figure emerged from it, radiating boundless divine light, emitting streaks of rosy glow like a blossoming sun, dazzling and brilliant.

It could be said that in the Array Formation Realm, few people throughout history could compare to his Primordial Spirit; it possessed an invisible great majesty, extremely awe-inspiring.

Now, if he could learn a Primordial Spirit attack secret art, he would surely be able to catch opponents off guard in battle, directly annihilating their soul bodies.

Normally, the Primordial Spirit is the most mysterious, and its attack methods are naturally impossible to guard against, capable of achieving surprising victories at critical moments—truly astonishing!

“Turbulence Suppression Art!” Lin Fan murmured, becoming even more enthusiastic about this great Divine Ability. It was one of the three strongest sword arts of ancient times, and the only Primordial Spirit-type sword art.

Afterward, his Primordial Spirit returned to his head, his essence, Qi, and spirit full, and his Dao cultivation also greatly increased, reaching the Middle Stage of the Array Formation Realm. His progress was astounding.

One must know that even ordinary Prodigies could not progress as quickly as him. This was a major realm, and each small step required a long period of accumulation.

At this moment, Lin Fan took out an exquisite jade jar and harvested the remaining huangquan fruit. There were five golden fruits on the tree in total; he had eaten one, leaving four golden fruits.

Although it was extremely dangerous, capable of trapping people in Reincarnation from which they could not extricate themselves, it was a rare and precious medicinal herb, comparable to a divine fruit, carrying an intoxicating fragrance.

The mere fact that it could increase Primordial Spirit power made it very difficult to resist its temptation.

Unfortunately, the bone book recorded that one huangquan fruit was enough; eating more would be useless.

However, the remaining few could be given as gifts or exchanged for other items; their value would surely be astonishing.

“The Opportunities here are almost completely seized; it’s time to leave.”

Lin Fan turned and walked out. He had already obtained the celestial seed, and in the future, he could cultivate the Immortal Ancient system and witness a different kind of scenery.

As for the Huangquan tree, he did not dig it up because it would not survive if taken away; it could only grow by the Yellow Springs, in an extremely Yin place.

This meant that this place must be a terrifying site with countless corpses.

In fact, this was true. Lin Fan had long known that countless skeletal remains were buried beneath the immortal island, with Death Qi rolling, coming from beings who died in battle during the late Immortal Ancient era.

The reason why the island appeared sacred on the surface, he guessed, was likely related to the secluded cultivation grounds of a great figure.

According to legend, the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King loved to conduct research and had left ruins in many places; it was possible that this was one of them.

Of course, his good friend, Immortal King Wu Zhong, probably also participated, because in that illusory Reincarnation, there was not only the power of Reincarnation but also the passage of time involved.

Lin Fan could guarantee that even if he spent several hundred years in Hell, only a few days, or even less, might have passed outside.

“Eh? Besides the insights from Reincarnation, why can’t I remember anything else?”

Lin Fan’s heart jolted. The several hundred years of Mortal World life, birth, aging, sickness, death, everything he saw and heard, the people he met, had all become blurred, everything distant.

After a moment of contemplation, he understood somewhat. It was like a great dream, seemingly real yet illusory. Those events should not affect his current self.

Therefore, the person who created Hell must have considered this point, allowing that experience to fade or be temporarily forgotten, so that he could remember everything only when his strength improved in the future.

“How amazing!”

Next, Lin Fan walked back along the original path for a while, then changed his route, searching through this hilly area to see if there were any other fortuitous encounters.

After all, as an Immortal Ancient ruin, Heaven And Earth Treasure would naturally not be scarce. The local environment nurtured unique spiritual items, with wisps of immortal mist and abundant Spiritual Qi.

Indeed, he discovered many precious medicines, astonishingly old, even more abundant than outside. There was more than one Saint Medicine, and his qiankun bag was full.

“This trip was truly worth it!” Lin Fan exclaimed, patting his waist contentedly.

Soon after, he stood by the Huangquan River, gazing across to the other bank, where Laws intertwined and were submerged in Chaos Qi, making it impossible to see clearly.

He wanted to cross the river, but there was no path. The pure Huangquan Water was no joke; once a living creature fell in, not even bone fragments would remain.

“If only I had a Heavenly Eye, perhaps I could see what’s over there?”

Lin Fan felt a slight regret, always feeling that something was hidden within the Chaos Qi, but he couldn’t cross and couldn’t investigate further.

Changing his mind, he smiled again: “Not only did I get the celestial seed, but my own problems were also solved; I should be content.”

Moreover, the items were right here and wouldn’t run away. It wouldn’t be too late to explore them later when he had the strength, or he could call Liu Ma over.

At the same time, the environment here was extremely special, with Immortal Ancient Qi and longevity substances.

If he didn’t want to wait for the Three Thousand Provinces war to begin before entering the Immortal Ancient ruins to cultivate Immortal Qi, this place would be a good choice.

Using the environment here for secluded cultivation, igniting his Divine Fire to become a deity, he might be able to cultivate Immortal Qi.

The next moment, Lin Fan turned and left, exiting the light gate and heading straight down the mountain, not lingering much longer, as its significance was already minimal.

However, as he walked halfway down the mountain, he saw a woman in white, with a slender figure, skin like congealed fat, long black hair cascading down, and bright, watery eyes, truly a peerless beauty.

This woman was Yue Chan’s secondary body, who had come to find Lin Fan, though she appeared slightly disheveled, panting, and sweating profusely, which had dampened her veil.

“Wifey, you’re not doing so well; you’re only gaining weight, not strength, and you’re not healthy at all!”
