Chapter 2818: Grotto-Heavens and Blessed Lands

"Pfft… Damn it…"

"He's actually this strong…"

"Pfft…"

"…"

The terrifying pressure Xiao Fan released just now made them feel as if he would immediately kill them if they uttered another word of nonsense.

As a result, these prodigies and geniuses all shut their mouths obediently, none of them even daring to breathe loudly.

There was no helping it; the bone-chilling coldness they felt from Xiao Fan's presence caused a fear that was simply too intense.

Next, the operation proceeded very smoothly, and Xiao Fan suppressed these prodigies and geniuses without much effort.

He took all the storage artifacts from these prodigies and geniuses and then suppressed them all within the spirit beast bracelet…

"I have enough hostages…" Xiao Fan murmured with a smile, his gaze looking into the distance.

Taking advantage of Long Aozhan's birthday this time had indeed made Xiao Fan's plan go more smoothly.

However, if he just left it at that, Xiao Fan felt it would be far from enough…

Having said that, Xiao Fan soared into the air; it was still safe for the time being, as no one in the Divine Dragon Realm knew he had already infiltrated.

No one in the outside world knew that those Divine Dragon Realm prodigies and geniuses had been suppressed either…

Next, Xiao Fan planned to continue causing trouble in the Divine Dragon Realm and kidnap more of the prodigies and geniuses here.

Xiao Fan left the Wasteland and vanished… Because he had set up a Barrier in advance, he did this with exceptional secrecy, and no one noticed.

…

One day later…

Xiao Fan infiltrated a major Sect power in the Divine Dragon Realm.

This place was called the Drunken Dragon Pavilion, and it was a location where the Divine Dragon Realm cultivated Dragon Clan experts.

There were Disciples of all grades within; depending on their talent, the areas they joined were different.

This place was open to all Dragon Clan experts; as long as you reached the Liandao Realm, you could come here to try.

At this moment, Xiao Fan arrived outside the Drunken Dragon Pavilion. He had already transformed into a different appearance, with his purple hair fluttering and his purple robes dancing, looking completely different from the appearances he had adopted in the past.

Xiao Fan stepped into the Drunken Dragon Pavilion; he did not change his Realm, participating in the assessment with his All-Things Realm Level 4 cultivation.

After succeeding in the assessment at this Realm, if one's talent wasn't poor, they would be directly assigned to the highest Rank.

This was also Xiao Fan's plan…

Not many in the Wanwu Realm came to participate in the assessment because those who reached the Wanwu Realm often had other, better paths and didn't need to join the Drunken Dragon Pavilion at all.

Of course, 'not many' did not mean 'none.'

"What is your name?" the Disciple in charge of registration at the Drunken Dragon Pavilion asked.

"My name is… Long Aotian," Xiao Fan spoke slowly.

"Good." The Disciple nodded and registered him.

"There will be a test in three days. After you pass, you will be assigned to a Grotto-Heaven… For now, just wait patiently."

The Disciple spoke slowly; if it weren't for the fact that Xiao Fan's Realm was higher than his own, he wouldn't have been so polite.

For someone in the Wanwu Realm wanting to join the Drunken Dragon Pavilion, it was already a certainty; even if they couldn't join the highest-Rank Grotto-Heaven due to talent, they could still join a slightly lower-Rank one.

"Yes," Xiao Fan nodded.

He stayed within the Drunken Dragon Pavilion for the next three days.

Xiao Fan also gained a simple understanding of this place.

One to nine… the first grade was the best, and the ninth grade was the lowest.

They corresponded to nine Grotto-Heavens and Blessed Lands, each of which was different. Whether it was spiritual energy, cultivation resources, or even the Elders who trained the Disciples, they all varied greatly.

Simply put, if one could receive 1,000 pieces of immortal jade per month in a first-grade Grotto-Heaven and Blessed Land, they might not even receive a single piece per month in a ninth-grade one.

This was the so-called gap!

And Xiao Fan hadn't joined the Drunken Dragon Pavilion with the intention of truly staying; he was here to cause trouble…

In a flash, three days passed…

The day for the formal Entry Test arrived.

"Grotto-Heavens and Blessed Lands are divided from one to nine…" the Elder in charge of the test spoke slowly; this person was at the Nirvana Realm Level 9, and his aura was not weak.

But in the current Xiao Fan's eyes, he was too weak… his strength was likely not even as great as Long Aozhan's.

The things this Elder of Zui Long Pavilion spoke about were similar to what Xiao Fan had learned before.

In any case, since he had joined the Drunken Dragon Pavilion, Xiao Fan intended to join the first-grade Grotto-Heaven and Blessed Land.

After all, that was the true gathering place for the prodigies and geniuses of the Divine Dragon Realm.

"Alright… the first stage is the Bloodline Test. Show your respective Dragon Clan Bloodlines…" the Elder spoke slowly.

This was the most common testing method in the Divine Dragon Realm.

After all, the Divine Dragon Realm was composed of the Dragon Clan, so checking each other's Bloodline purity was perfectly normal…

One by one, the Divine Dragon Realm geniuses and prodigies underwent the test, showing their Bloodlines…

Waves of terrifying, vibrating auras flowed nearby.

The true forms of these Dragon Clan geniuses and prodigies were varied, and various Dragon Clan phantoms appeared behind them.

Among them, Xiao Fan saw no shortage of monstrously talented individuals.

Soon, it was Xiao Fan's turn…

Xiao Fan exhaled, and a giant dragon hundreds of thousands of feet long appeared behind him, instantly shrouding the sky outside the Drunken Dragon Pavilion hall.

The surrounding crowd exclaimed incessantly…
