Chapter 20: Mass Cheating (Part 5)

Poetry Immortal Yu Xuanji stood to the side, her face turning pale with anger.

She had cultivated for ten billion years to reach the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm, and now, it was precisely due to the lack of Immortal Crystals that she was stuck and unable to step into the Quasi-Saint Realm.

Yet Lin Fan was actually going to let his disciples have a Breakthrough directly!

This made her both envious and resentful.

Others might not be able to do it, but Lin Fan, this fake Void Main God, had really scammed the entire Upper Realm miserably.

The massive wealth in his hands could definitely allow everyone present to break through to the Quasi-Saint Realm.

Thinking of this, Poetry Immortal Yu Xuanji felt an itch in her heart, but hindered by her status, she couldn't bring herself to ask, so she could only stubbornly sit to the side.

Time flew, and in the blink of an eye, ten years passed.

Lin Fan continuously took out Immortal Crystals, using the Void Heaven-Swallowing Art to refine them into pure energy; having consumed eight million Immortal Crystals, the group steadily rose to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm.

But what followed was the "losing everything" stage.

To break through from the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm to the Quasi-Saint Realm, each person needed at least five million Immortal Crystals.

Lin Chen, Su Wanqing, Mu Xueyan, Xue Yao, Sect Master Qi Meng, Princess Jin Xuan, Yin Miaoxue, and Princess Hu Qinlan—these eight people would consume forty million Immortal Crystals all at once.

Currently, Lin Fan only had sixty million and forty thousand Immortal Crystals remaining.

Helping them become Quasi-Saints was already his limit.

He steeled himself and took out forty million Immortal Crystals to begin devouring and converting them.

Poetry Immortal Yu Xuanji, watching from the side, was dumbfounded.

This was literally creating gods!

Thinking about how she had cultivated so hard for all these years to barely step into the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm, while Lin Fan was actually going to let his disciples leap straight to becoming Quasi-Saints.

Where would she put her face when that happened?

She could no longer hold back and snorted coldly, "Hmph, you little bastard, the first time is strange, the second time you get used to it; this is our fourth time! Do you still dare to say we aren't familiar? I want to absorb it too!"

As she spoke, she shamelessly sat down cross-legged and, without waiting for Lin Fan's consent, began to circulate her energy to absorb it.

Lin Fan's eyelids twitched, but as he was concentrating on operating the Void Heaven-Swallowing Art, he couldn't stop her at all.

"Forget it…" He sighed, helplessly taking out another five million Immortal Crystals to integrate into the mix.

Although Poetry Immortal Yu Xuanji could not use her magical power, her Dao cultivation was profound, and she had no problem absorbing this energy.

Her lips curled slightly upward, and she felt secretly pleased, "This little bastard is finally sensible."

Three years later, everyone successively broke through to the Early Stage of the Quasi-Saint Realm.

The Saint-becoming Lightning Tribulation for the nine of them descended simultaneously, with monstrous momentum; lightning intertwined, as if the heavens were collapsing and the earth splitting.

Lin Fan forcefully resisted it with his Imperial Rank cultivation, not taking a single step back throughout the process.

Although he wasn't injured, he looked somewhat disheveled, especially his hairstyle, which was as messy as a bird's nest.

After adjusting her breath for a moment, Xue Yao opened her eyes and discovered that the aura on Poetry Immortal Yu Xuanji was actually identical to her own, so she couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Master, did your Realm drop?"

Poetry Immortal Yu Xuanji's pretty face flushed red, and she lowered her head, not knowing how to explain.

Lin Fan couldn't help but laugh, "She didn't drop in Realm, she actually rose. She took great advantage of you all."

"Oh! So that's how it is, thank you, Master!"

As she spoke, Xue Yao finally noticed Lin Fan's messy hairstyle and couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, "Master, your hairstyle is so unique."

Lin Chen, Su Wanqing, and Mu Xueyan also couldn't help but laugh, taking the initiative to surround Lin Fan and work together to help him fix his hair.

Yin Miaoxue, Princess Hu Qinlan, and Princess Jin Xuan could only stare; with the three wives on the job, they couldn't get a hand in at all.

"Everyone, take a short rest, we will head back shortly. Remember to restrain your aura; now that you are all in the Quasi-Saint Realm, don't let the Canglan Immortal Domain fail to bear it and cause the world to collapse."

Xue Yao looked skeptical, "Am I that powerful? Master, you aren't lying to me, are you?"

Lin Fan shook his head, "When have I ever lied to you? Remember to restrain your aura."

"Alright." Xue Yao obediently agreed, but muttered under her breath, "At the beginning, you lied to me, saying you were the Main God."

After the careful grooming by the three wives, Lin Fan returned to his handsome appearance.

He took out the world-breaking pendant and quietly activated it; the group was instantly enveloped in a golden light and shot straight into the sky.

In the Canglan Immortal Domain, the Qimeng Courtyard was quiet in the dead of night. A streak of golden light cut through the sky, and the group landed steadily.

From the moment they left to their reappearance, it was but an instant, but in that instant, the group had experienced thirteen years; the nine young ladies, including Poetry Immortal Yu Xuanji, had all become Quasi-Saints, which was enough to be revered as an Immortal King in the Upper Realm.

Lin Fan frowned slightly, looking at the few remaining Immortal Crystals in his hand, his heart aching a little.

Now there were only 19 million Immortal Crystals left, and with them about to bottom out, he had to collect that 1 million Immortal Crystals from Poetry Immortal Yu Xuanji.

"Everyone, take a good rest; get ready to collect money tomorrow!"

Poetry Immortal Yu Xuanji muttered with dissatisfaction, "Do you have to be so money-grubbing? You are so wealthy, do you really lack this bit of Immortal Crystal from me?"

Lin Fan snorted coldly and said indifferently, "You secretly absorbed the pure energy converted from 5 million Immortal Crystals; I haven't even settled accounts with you for that yet."

"And you still want to welch on this 1 million debt? You must pay this 1 million Immortal Crystals."

"Otherwise, you will go work in the fields to compensate for my loss of Immortal Crystals."

Poetry Immortal Yu Xuanji was so angry she grabbed Xue Yao, "Quick, discipline your Master!"

Xue Yao looked left and right, then said innocently, "Master, you took 5 million Immortal Crystals from Master, and paying back 1 million is a huge profit."

"Master, you should just hand over the 1 million Immortal Crystals. I'll go plead for you; he will definitely let you off."

Poetry Immortal Yu Xuanji didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Yao Yao, you don't have to scam your Master like this."

"What do you mean? I am thinking of you, Master!"

"Fine, let's do as you say. But I don't have any on me right now; I can only wait for someone from the Upper Realm to come." Poetry Immortal Yu Xuanji agreed helplessly.

Xue Yao obediently came before Lin Fan and said softly and sweetly, "Master, look, Master has already agreed. Can you not make her work in the fields? After all, she can't use her magical power right now; it looks quite pitiful."

Lin Fan hadn't dissipated his anger yet, but seeing Xue Yao like this, he had to compromise, "Fine, let it be. Everyone, get some rest; tomorrow we welcome the battle against the enemies from the Upper Realm."

At this moment, in the Taoist Ancestor's main hall in the Upper Realm, the resplendent palace was filled with solemnity and majesty.

Sixteen immortal maidens knelt sorrowfully on the ground, their eyes filled with tears.

The lead immortal maiden choked with sobs, "Taoist Ancestor, that madman is truly lawless! Not only did he ignore your token, but he also imprisoned our Palace Master in the Lower Realm."

"He even declared that we must hand over 1 million Immortal Crystals to release her, otherwise he will make our Palace Master work in the fields. Please, Taoist Ancestor, save our Palace Master!"

The hall was deathly silent, the atmosphere so oppressive that it was suffocating.

Taoist Ancestor Kongming frowned slightly, his hand stroking his beard pausing for a moment; a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then his face couldn't help but twitch.

This method, how is it exactly the same as that fake Void Main God from back then? Could it be… the newly ascended Void Main God?

Beside him, War God Lu Bu stood up abruptly, his eyes burning with Battle Intent, his voice like thunder, "Taoist Ancestor, this villain is so arrogant, he completely disregards the Upper Realm! Please grant me permission to go and execute this villain!"

The Taoist Ancestor nodded slightly, "Granted."

"Understood!" War God Lu Bu's eyes were cold and sharp, holding his Fangtian Halberd, he said imposingly, "Go, lead the way!"

The sixteen immortal maidens were immediately overjoyed.

War God Lu Bu was a powerhouse at the Middle Stage of the Quasi-Saint Realm, almost invincible in the Upper Realm. With him taking action, this time it was surely settled!

"General, please this way." The immortal maidens said in unison, leading War God Lu Bu as they sped toward the Canglan Immortal Domain.

The one hundred thousand heavenly troops were vast and mighty, with rolling heavenly might, disturbing the clouds for ten thousand miles.

At dawn, they finally arrived at the Xuanyin Qin Sect; the valley shrouded in golden light was surrounded airtight by the one hundred thousand heavenly troops.

War God Lu Bu stood on the clouds, his Fangtian Halberd pointing straight at the main hall of the Qin Sect, and roared, "Bold thief, quickly hand over the Poetry Immortal! And the Main God's wife, send her back to the Upper Realm immediately! Otherwise, don't blame me for trampling your bird's nest flat!"
