Chapter 21: The Saint of the Previous Generation

Chapter 21 The Previous Generation Saintess

All the living beings in and around the city who witnessed it cried out in astonishment, utterly shocked. This scene was truly unforgettable.

Stunned, they looked into the distance where golden light glittered and auspicious rays shimmered. The Void Realm even solidified into blossoming lotus flowers, their Immortal Qi enveloping the heavens and earth.

It was as if a banished Immortal had descended, celebrated and welcomed by the Myriad Dao, illuminating the entire world. Mere golden light could not represent his talent; a Heaven and Earth Anomaly was required.

At this moment, everyone was restless, looking up, bathed in the Holy Light. Their hearts trembled, filled with excitement, and they suddenly understood and comprehended previously unclear aspects of their own precious arts.

"Who is this person? To be able to cause the Great Dao to resonate is incredible!"

"Truly, a peerless Genius has emerged out of nowhere! He is destined to make a name for himself across the world and reign supreme in his generation!"

Everyone marveled endlessly. Such an anomaly was a rare sight, seen only once in millions of years. Clearly, an extraordinary individual with infinite potential had appeared.

The ancient stele resonated, divine flames surged skyward, unsettling the heavens and earth, as a Great Dao aura descended and enveloped the area.

The light shone in all directions, visible even hundreds of miles away. Many people rushed over, just to catch a glimpse of this astonishing being.

…

"Barbecued! This commotion seems a bit too big!" Lin Fan muttered, gazing at the sky. He knew his talent was good, but he hadn't expected it to be this good.

Just about ten feet away from him, the Butian Sect Elder stared at him in a daze, as if looking at a peerless treasure. It was hard to imagine that this child's talent could be so high, and he was only five or six years old!

Even his sect's Saintess had not caused such a phenomenon; she had only produced a brilliant golden glow, nothing else. This was truly extraordinary, rare in the world!

Suddenly, a figure appeared, his large sleeves billowing as if he were an Immortal about to ascend.

This was an old man, descending without a trace of earthly dust.

"Greetings, Sect Leader!" The Butian Sect Elder beside him, seeing the newcomer, quickly bowed with great respect.

At the same time, he was also surprised that even the Sect Leader, who was in seclusion, had been startled and specifically came out.

"Little friend, was that sound just now caused by you?" The Butian Sect Leader asked with a benevolent smile, examining the child with great delight.

"Mm-hm, mm-hm, mm-hm…" Lin Fan nodded like a pecking chick. In front of such a great figure, honesty was the best choice.

"Don't be afraid, I mean no harm. I just want to ask if you are willing to join the Butian Sect?" The white-haired old man spoke, always with a faint smile, giving a sense of closeness.

"Grandpa, what benefits are there if I join the Butian Sect?" Lin Fan asked clearly, tapping his chin with his finger, very serious.

He didn't agree immediately; instead, he first inquired about the benefits, indicating that he needed good things to attract him, like a child asking for milk, with a hint of childishness.

Lin Fan did this to both raise his value and to show that it was they who asked him to join, not him begging, which would reduce suspicion about his identity lie later.

However, the Butian Sect Elder beside him widened his eyes, his heart pounding. He thought, "Shouldn't this child immediately agree with joy when invited personally by the Sect Leader? How dare he even discuss benefits with their Sect Leader? Does he not know his place?"

The Butian Sect Leader heard this and did not get angry; instead, he laughed heartily, "Hahaha, you are an interesting child. If you join the Butian Sect, your status will be comparable to that of a Saintess. All the precious arts and Divine Abilities in the sect will be yours to learn, and there will be dedicated people to protect your Dao."

The other Elder present was astonished. The conditions offered by their Sect Leader were truly astounding. This was equivalent to adding a Saint, proving that they greatly valued this child.

However, it was understandable. His Innate talent, as revealed by the test, was truly unparalleled, surpassing all previous Butian Sect Sages.

Since this stele was erected here, no one had ever caused such a phenomenon today; not even the current Saintess could compare!

After a moment of hesitation, Lin Fan replied, "Then I am willing to join."

"Good!" The Butian Sect Leader was overjoyed. With a wave of his hand, he took him away from the place.

In fact, even if Lin Fan hadn't agreed, the Butian Sect Leader would not have let him go.

How could such a Prodigy be allowed to wander off?

After the two left, peace returned here, all anomalies disappeared, and at the same time, a special field also vanished, as if time was flowing backward.

The next moment, the living beings in the city arrived here, densely packed, tens of thousands of them, wanting to see who exactly was being tested here, causing the stone stele to resonate.

"Eh, where is that peerless Prodigy who caused the anomaly?" Someone wondered. At the ancient stele, there was only a Butian Sect Elder, and no one else was seen.

"Where did this person go?" Some were searching, and others were asking the Butian Sect Elder guarding the place.

"Everyone, there's no need to search. That was a hidden Prodigy of my Butian Sect, who has already departed!" The Butian Sect Elder explained, deliberately concealing that it was actually a five or six-year-old child who caused it.

Because once this news leaked out, it would inevitably attract malicious individuals to target him, and the Butian Sect also had opposing forces. It would be bad if a Prodigy within the sect was assassinated.

This was also why the Butian Sect Leader used his great Divine Ability, ensuring that those people only arrived just after the two of them had left, so no one knew it was a child who caused it.

…

Radiant with flowing light and myriad rays, with the rumbling sound of the Dao, inside a grand palace, sacred light flowed, filled with auspiciousness and tranquility.

Every inch of this place was carved from jade, imbued with mysterious Dao principles. Cultivating here would yield twice the results with half the effort.

Lin Fan was brought here and naturally questioned about his origins. However, he used the same half-truth, half-lie story he used to fool Qi Daolin, saying he came from the border wilderness and accidentally stepped on an ancient teleportation array to arrive here.

Anyway, what he said wasn't entirely false, and it was consistent with his heart, and no one could testify, making it hard to tell if he was telling the truth or not.

Moreover, with his talent and age, no one would be foolish enough to believe that a peerless Prodigy would be sent as a spy; it simply wasn't worth it.

The Butian Sect Leader originally intended to take him as his Disciple and personally instruct him. This was a Primeval, with rare talent, not inferior at all to the Immortal Palace Successor he had met.

Unexpectedly, a woman arrived at this moment, disrupting his plans.

"Sect Leader, let me instruct him!"

The one who spoke was a beautiful woman in white, her robes fluttering, arriving through the air. Glimmering specks drifted down, like a Nine Heavens Fairy descending to the mortal world, extraordinary and transcendent.

She appeared to be around thirty years old, beautiful and dignified, with a serene expression. Her black hair danced lightly, and her eyes were as calm as water, without a single ripple, giving one the first impression of coldness.

However, the aura about her was rare in the world, like a divine lotus, emerging from the mud unstained, cleansed by clear ripples without being seductive, a beauty that could topple kingdoms, with astonishing grace, and skin as white as jade, flawless and pure, without a single blemish.

Lin Fan turned his head at the sound and instantly became infatuated…

This was not just a Fairy, but a mature Fairy, far beyond what those young girls could compare to. The charm within her was indescribable.

At this moment, he instantly understood why Boss Cao particularly loved mature women; this was simply falling in love!

"Qing Yao, you've always ignored worldly affairs and never concerned yourself with sect matters. Even when I asked you to instruct Yue Chan, you rarely paid her much attention. Why do you suddenly want to take a Disciple today?"

The Butian Sect Leader was very puzzled and surprised, but not because she was snatching a Disciple in anger; it was simply a pure lack of understanding.

One must know that this was the previous generation Saintess, and also his Disciple. Yet, she was very aloof, not involving herself in worldly affairs for hundreds of thousands of years, never even participating in major sect matters.

But her behavior today was very strange. Why would she suddenly want to rush to take a Disciple?
