Chapter 1896: The Yuding Sect Grand Competition

The Yuding Sect Master wanted to remain calm, but he couldn't stay calm at all.

This wasn't a joke, was it?

The Blood Pool that the Yuding Sect had accumulated for ten thousand years…

The essence within…

Was less than one percent left.

Crazy!

Absolutely crazy!

"I… why did I let him soak in it as he pleased!"

The Yuding Sect Master was filled with self-reproach.

Normally, if other Yuding Sect Disciples were rewarded with entry into the Blood Pool…

They all had time limits.

It would never be like Xiao Fan, with no time limit.

But to show off the Yuding Sect's generosity, he hadn't set a time limit for Xiao Fan.

He had let Xiao Fan soak as much as he wanted.

And this was the result…

Xiao Fan had drained the essence of the Blood Pool in one go.

Less than one percent remained!!

"Heavens… I am a sinner of the Yuding Sect!!"

The Yuding Sect Master was on the verge of a breakdown.

He didn't know how to explain this to the Old Ancestor.

Tell the truth?

That definitely wouldn't work!

The Yuding Sect Patriarch probably wouldn't be able to stay calm either.

…

Regarding all this.

Xiao Fan was naturally unaware.

However, he could guess a bit.

But what did that matter?

"If I rise again in the future… I can help the Yuding Sect a bit."

Xiao Fan returned to his Immortal Cave and smiled to himself.

Staying here for a while had given him a feeling similar to his time at the Jixian Sect.

If he truly rose again in the future.

He definitely wouldn't forget the Yuding Sect.

He would give them some benefits.

From that day on.

The Yuding Sect announced the closure of the Blood Pool for three hundred years.

For the next three hundred years, no one was allowed to enter, nor could they.

Reason for closure: Unknown.

…

Xiao Fan's days in the Yuding Sect passed day by day.

Occasionally, Valley Master Luo Tian would go to find Xiao Fan.

The two of them never spoke about the Nine Provinces.

They always exchanged information about the Hongtian Star Domain.

Valley Master Luo Tian was originally unsociable and had always lived in Ghost World Valley before.

After arriving in the Hongtian Star Domain, he felt like a stranger everywhere and had no friends at all.

Seeing Xiao Fan now, he was overjoyed in his heart.

Xiao Fan felt the same; it was a good feeling to be accompanied by an old friend.

Furthermore, the two often discussed the Dao of Formations.

Valley Master Luo Tian's attainment in Formations was very high.

After nearly 300 years, it was even higher than before.

Of course… he still couldn't compare to Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan had Wanxiang.

If Wanxiang acted personally, it could instantly defeat Valley Master Luo Tian.

This left Valley Master Luo Tian feeling depressed… yet also very envious.

During this period, Xiao Fan also sat firmly on the throne of number one.

No one ever tried to challenge him!

Even Prodigies like Senior Brother Zhuang Shi and Lin Ling didn't dare…

Only after fighting Xiao Fan could one realize how intense that unshakeable pressure was.

They couldn't even muster the thought of resisting!

Three years before the Prodigy Secret Realm opened.

The Yuding Sect held a Grand Competition.

The content of the Grand Competition was simple…

Nine spots.

The winners could claim a spot to enter the Prodigy Secret Realm.

This Grand Competition was very lively.

Unfortunately, it had nothing to do with Xiao Fan.

He was a pre-selected candidate, and everyone in the Yuding Sect knew this.

If it were before, someone might have been dissatisfied, feeling that spots should be contested fairly and not pre-selected.

But when it came to Xiao Fan.

No one had any objections.

Pre-selection was good…

It was great that he was pre-selected…

If Xiao Fan also entered the competition, wouldn't everyone who met him have to forfeit?!

Valley Master Luo Tian didn't participate in the Grand Competition either.

The reason was heartbreaking and helpless.

He was too old!

For this, Valley Master Luo Tian sighed endlessly.

"The years of my youth have passed…"

Valley Master Luo Tian had a melancholy expression; he never dreamed he would see such a day.

His current situation was very awkward.

High-end, top-tier Secret Realms, he wasn't qualified to enter!

Not enough strength.

The younger generation's Secret Realm battles.

He was too old and not qualified to enter!

This was an awkward time; he needed to seize the opportunity to increase his strength, otherwise, his future would be bleak.

"Fortunately, although you are old in years, you are not old at heart. Look at me… I'm already a man with sons and daughters."

Xiao Fan chuckled, showing a mouthful of white teeth.

"Uh…"

Valley Master Luo Tian didn't know what to say.

They had been in the Yuding Sect for several years, and their conversations were now quite casual.

Of course, they never mentioned anything regarding the Nine Provinces.

Saying such things would seem more like a joke.

And even if it wasn't…

It wouldn't involve Xiao Fan's true identity.

After this period of Cultivation.

Xiao Fan's strength had also improved.

Reaching the Peak of the Fanxu Realm Sixth Stage.

However, he hadn't yet absorbed the 180 Origin Clones he had condensed.

For now… he didn't want to raise his Realm for the time being.

Entering the Secret Realm in a low-key manner…

That would make it easier for him to observe the overall situation.

This Grand Competition was very lively in the Yuding Sect.

Prodigies Xiao Fan had seen before, like Lin Ling and Senior Brother Zhuang Shi, were all engaged in fierce combat.

These people's strength had also improved.

Especially Senior Brother Zhuang Shi, who had already reached the Hundred Elephant Realm Second Stage Middle Stage.

His strength was progressing rapidly.

Lin Ling's Realm had also improved.

Reaching the Hundred Elephant Realm First Stage.

But there was still a significant gap between her and Senior Brother Zhuang Shi.

Naturally, the main difference was in their Realm.
