Chapter 217 Liyang City

Chapter 217: Liyang City

Devil Emperor!

The only Supreme being to achieve Immortal Ascension in the Three Thousand Provinces in ancient times, he unleashed a single palm strike from an infinite distance, reducing an immortal Ancient Sect to ashes. What kind of Divine Might was that?

At the same time, a powerhouse like him must be one of the most astonishing figures of all time, possessing great ambition. How could he casually obliterate a Dao lineage?

“Could there be some unknown Karma involved…?”

Lin Fan and Yue Chan pondered, but it was difficult to comprehend. However, the possibility of a revenge killing was the highest, and the world also most recognized this outcome.

Subsequently, they walked through the ruins, and besides feeling the power of that palm strike, they found nothing else.

After all, tens of thousands of years had passed, and there must have been many people paying their respects here, so it was difficult to find any clues.

Ultimately, the two left the place with a hint of melancholy and reverence.

They also realized that even the most glorious Ancient Sect, if it didn't have a Supreme being guarding it, ultimately couldn't withstand a single palm strike from the Devil Emperor, which made them sigh with emotion.

By analogy, if one couldn't achieve Immortal Ascension, what did anything else matter?

Just a handful of yellow earth…

Several days later, the two found the location Qing Xian had mentioned. Unfortunately, it was a barren expanse, with no sign of a medicinal garden.

“The Lotus Fairy shouldn’t have a reason to lie to us,” Lin Fan murmured, surveying his surroundings.

Within this valley, there were indeed some traces: the earth had been turned over, and something had moved across the ground, only to disappear later.

“It’s possible it’s always moving and doesn’t stay in one place,” Yue Chan judged, her large eyes agile, her white robes as pure as snow, untainted by worldly dust.

Lin Fan nodded, and after arriving in the endless primeval jungle, that feeling intensified, as if a Divine Devil was calling, guiding him here.

Next, the two discovered some Ancient Sect Disciples and Loose Cultivators appearing intermittently in the mountains, seemingly also searching for something.

Among them, mercenaries were the majority, dispatched by certain Ancient Sects like Divine Cliff Academy, Celestial Human Clan, and Immortal Palace, all with the goal of finding a Divine Treasure.

However, in the vast wilderness, spanning millions of li, blindly searching was not a simple task. Lin Fan and Yue Chan decided to go to a nearby city to gather information.

Three days later, Liyang City was reached.

This was the most famous large city nearby, gathering the essence of heaven and earth. Its halls and buildings were ancient and simple, filled with the aura of time, having stood for many years.

It was said that the city was originally named Ziyang, belonging to the ancient Purple Sun Sect, but later, the sect mysteriously disappeared. People considered it inauspicious, so it was renamed Liyang City.

Moreover, due to the appearance of traces of a Divine Treasure, the city was extremely lively, with many powerful Cultivators arriving, from various races.

Even the Taotie, Pixiu, and Bixie were not considered rare; some ancient races had even appeared, such as Tree Spirits, Teng Snakes, and Hell Three-Headed Hounds.

“This is truly big news! Someone unearthed ancient books of the Purple Sun Sect in the north, rumored to have fallen from that moving palace…”

Indeed, as soon as they entered Liyang City, the two heard various shouts and discussions, and there were even so-called Purple Sun Sect topographic maps.

“This can be considered a grand event. Numerous Ancient Sects have gathered, and some legendary Young Supremes have also arrived and made an appearance here.”

“Not only that, but there have already been fierce battles between the First Generations, resulting in casualties.”

Lin Fan and Yue Chan entered a restaurant and heard many people discussing, which was exactly what they needed.

In fact, everyone had different objectives. Some were here to seek treasures, while others were here to witness the battles of the prodigies.

This was a major event in Fire Province, where many Successors would meet, destined to ignite the most brilliant sparks, filling people with anticipation.

“I have a copy of the ancient book on the mystery of the Purple Sun Sect’s disappearance, which records all the past events of the sect. If you want to seek fortune, you must understand it!”

“Extra! Extra! The grievances between the Devil Emperor and the Purple Sun Ancient Sect, newly unearthed, concerning the secret of the sect’s demise…”

“What?!”

In an instant, the entire city erupted in an uproar, people rushing into the streets to learn the truth.

“Quick, give me a copy of the book!” Someone shouted, impatient.

Lin Fan and Yue Chan were astonished. The people in Liyang City were impressive; they actually obtained such news and were selling it. They were truly good at business.

Of course, both of them were very interested and went downstairs to purchase it immediately.

“Boom!”

Just then, a sound exploded, a huge lightning bolt streaked across, shaking half the sky. It was actually a person’s fist glow, incredibly astonishing.

“I want the news!” A golden-haired man roared, stepping on the Void Realm, his entire body radiating ten thousand bolts of lightning, dazzling and imposing.

“Lightning Child!” Someone exclaimed, recognizing his identity.

Legend has it that he was born on a stormy night. As soon as he came into the world, his crown glowed, attracting countless lightning bolts to converge and pour down.

As a result, the thunder turned into an ocean, absorbed by his crown, forming an Origin rune imprinted on his head, which was simply unbelievable.

Since then, he was incredibly compatible with the Lightning Law, like a son of the heavens. With a single punch, dense lightning bolts appeared everywhere, terrifying to such an extent!

“Oh, the Immortal Palace Successor has also arrived!”

Suddenly, after the Lightning Child took a book, another series of exclamations rang out, even louder than before.

“Boom!”

The Void Realm exploded, and a blurred figure appeared, completely enveloped by runes, revealing only a pair of deep eyes, like a Heavenly God looking down, making people involuntarily want to kneel and kowtow.

This was a young man, yet he was like a True Dragon emerging, holding a battle halberd, powerful and intimidating, almost merging into the Void Realm.

“Void Battle Halberd!”

Lin Fan was startled, then calmed down, because he himself had a similar treasure, also refined from the true bone of a Void Beast, allowing free movement through space.

It must be said that such a treasure was very practical, allowing one to directly traverse from extremely distant places, making it one of his favorite weapons at the moment.

“Nine-Headed Chicken’s strength is quite good. Although it’s only a clone, it’s stronger than some First Generations.”

Among the crowd, Lin Fan, whose appearance had changed, opened his Heavenly Eye and observed Di Chong. His cultivation had actually reached the Perfection of the Venerable Realm.

“Hmm?”

In an instant, the Immortal Palace Successor felt something, turned his head to look, but found nothing. After getting the news, he split the Void Realm and left.

“His Divine Sense is quite alert,” Lin Fan muttered, retracting his Heavenly Eye.

At the same time, the city was incredibly lively, with more than one Young Supreme arriving, and screams never ceased.

“The Spirit Race First Generation, Zhen Gu, who wields the Blood Condensing Battle Spear, has also arrived!”

In mid-air, golden light surged. A young man arrived, his aura overwhelming, possessing a pair of golden wings, awe-inspiring in all directions.

“Teng Yi of the Fire Gold Clan, he’s here too.”

Lin Fan saw another First Generation, whom he was quite familiar with. He had exchanged a few blows with him in the Butian Secret Realm; he was extremely formidable.

If he hadn't been restricted that day, this person would only be stronger. His fire-elemental Divine Ability was used with extraordinary skill, like a great sun, appearing exceptionally sacred wherever he went.

“Alas, there aren’t many First Generations as low-key as me nowadays, hidden in the mundane world, rarely showing their faces…” Lin Fan sighed.

Afterward, he took the news, returned to the restaurant, sat down, and continued to quietly enjoy the food, acting as an anonymous passerby.

Yue Chan was speechless. Whenever this happened, she knew her Junior Brother was up to no good, preparing to be a schemer and trick people.

“You should calm down. The Successors and First Generations of various sects have extraordinary identities. Killing too many will cause dissatisfaction among some, and it might lead to a great war between Dao lineages.”

“Yue Yue, we just want to fill our stomachs, is that wrong too?” Lin Fan asked with an innocent and bewildered expression.
