Chapter 33: Ten Cave Heavens

Not swayed by external things, nor saddened by personal setbacks!

No matter how the seas churn and all things change, they cannot stop Lin Fan's persistent heart for cultivation.

The path is forged by walking it, and every step requires one to tread steadily, one footprint at a time. All who achieve success possess an unwavering Dao Heart.

To experience the vast Mortal World, to cleanse oneself of all impurities, and for one's Dao Heart to remain steadfast, only then can one ascend to the Supreme.

Now, unknowingly, Lin Fan has been in Butian Sect for nearly three years. Almost nine years old, he has grown considerably, becoming more composed and reserved than before.

At the same time, his strength has become even more formidable, giving him an Aura of returning to simplicity.

“Boom!”

Suddenly, a grand sound erupted, shaking this land vein. The surrounding peaks resonated with it, as if an Immortal Palace had fallen from the heavens.

Lin Fan sat cross-legged on the black stone platform, nine Cave Heavens forming a ring around him, rumbling and roaring. Essence Qi surged in from heaven and earth, a truly magnificent sight.

“Open!” At this moment, he roared, emitting auspicious radiance. Above his head, a tenth Cave Heaven was actually being opened. Streaks of rosy light appeared, vibrant and brilliant, incredibly peaceful.

At this moment, it was as if an Immortal Realm had been opened. Light rain scattered, divine light soared into the sky, and chains of order, one after another, manifested in the Void Realm.

“Boom!”

With the final great tremor, Lin Fan’s tenth Cave Heaven was successfully opened. The process was very smooth, not as difficult as described and imagined in ancient texts.

“It’s finally successful. Opening ten Cave Heavens in two years isn’t slow; it’s within the estimated time.” Lin Fan smiled, looking at the Cave Heaven situated at the very top of his head, which seemed exceptionally unique.

It was not only slightly larger than the other nine Cave Heavens, grand and vast, immense and majestic, but its life essence Qi was also surging like a waterfall, significantly more powerful.

With just a slight movement, the ten Cave Heavens rotated, automatically emitting life essence Qi, incredibly resplendent, bursting forth with brilliant light, like ten suns across the sky, dimming the actual sun considerably.

Of course, ten Cave Heavens is not his extreme Realm. His goal is to take a step beyond this, constantly breaking through existing extremes.

This is also the path that the present-day Law needs to take. After becoming a Heavenly God, the path is broken, and one can only repeatedly re-cultivate past Realms to bridge the broken path. Otherwise, one can only fuse with a seed and follow the Immortal Ancient Law.

But Lin Fan wants to walk both paths. He is not sure if he will be able to succeed in cultivating with his body as the seed, or obtain a top-tier treasure seed in the future. The present-day Law is undoubtedly the best choice for now.

“But Breakthroughs in the present-day Law heavily rely on resources, requiring a large amount of precious blood and valuable medicines. Especially precious blood, which must at least be of the Supreme level, it’s a bit troublesome…” Lin Fan couldn’t help but think.

If he remembered correctly, the Milk Child was able to break the limit in the Cave Heaven Realm because of the essence provided by the Immortal King, Willow God.

So what would he rely on? A rich woman?!

The key is that this rich woman’s leg isn’t thick enough. She might be fine in these Three Thousand Provinces, but not so much outside of this place.

“I wonder if Pretty Sister has any precious blood. Otherwise, I can only wait to find Opportunity and re-cultivate later.” He sighed.

After everything was finished, the ten Cave Heavens retracted, hidden in the Void Realm. He wasn't planning to attempt breaking the limit now; he would at least make some preparations before attempting a Breakthrough.

Subsequently, Lin Fan stood up, his eyes clear like gemstones, his face delicate yet resolute. Although he was only nine years old, he looked similar to a ten-year-old child, as Cultivators tend to grow faster.

Especially in some tribes of the Great Wilderness, it was common for people to marry and have children at twelve or thirteen years old; he was already considered a small adult.

“Hmph, I will definitely win against you today!”

Suddenly, an arrogant voice came, clear as an oriole, pleasant to the ear.

In the distance, a figure in white approached. Though young, she was like a little sprite who had fallen into the Mortal World. Her skin was fair, emitting a faint, crystalline glow, like a bright moon.

The person who came was Yue Chan, who had grown two years older. She was gradually blossoming, her stunning beauty showing. Her figure was slightly developing, like an eleven or twelve-year-old girl, flawless and beautiful.

“You’ve already said that seven times.” Lin Fan smiled slightly. Every time Yue Chan made a Breakthrough, she would come here to challenge him, as stubborn as a donkey.

But each time, she was defeated repeatedly, yet she never conceded, shouting: I’ll be back!

As a result, Lin Fan had gained much amusement over the years, winning many treasures from her.

“I won’t lose again. I have now opened nine Cave Heavens and am incredibly powerful. Moreover, I’ve found a way to deal with your Supreme Art.” Yue Chan spoke confidently, raising her proud head, full of self-assurance.

Lin Fan rubbed his chin, a bit amused, and said, “Same old rules, did you bring the stuff? If not, I won’t fight.”

“Of course.” Yue Chan patted a small mirror at her waist and introduced, “This mirror is a forbidden artifact refined by my maternal uncle. It can be used three times and can kill any Cultivator below the Heavenly God Realm.”

Lin Fan’s eyes lit up, becoming eager. It was actually such a rare and difficult-to-refine treasure. When used, regardless of one’s own cultivation, it could unleash the full power of the treasure.

But precisely because of this, it was extremely difficult to refine, and the Materials used were also extremely precious. Therefore, ordinary people would not bother refining it, as it was too much of a loss.

Clearly, Yue Chan’s maternal uncle doted on her very much, otherwise, he wouldn’t have refined this item.

Then, Yue Chan continued, “If you lose, you must return all the things you took from me before, and from now on, when you see me, you must respectfully call me Senior Sister, and you must go east if I tell you to go east.”

“Alright, alright, how many times have you said that? Let’s start quickly, I can’t wait to play with that mirror.” Lin Fan said impatiently.

Every time Yue Chan started, she would say a few harsh words, as if defeating him had become an obsession, even a Heart Demon.

Was she preparing to emulate a certain Great Emperor from later generations, who cultivated a demon embryo through a hundred defeats?

Unfortunately, Yue Chan was not Chaotic Ancient, and he was not comparable to Chaotic Ancient’s opponents. Her thoughts and desires were destined not to succeed.

“Even if I only use my Physical Body and don’t release any precious arts, I, Lin Fan, am still unrivaled under heaven! Come, fight, Little Yue Yue!” Lin Fan shouted, his eyes becoming sharp, abandoning his lazy demeanor, possessing an Aura of unrivaled supremacy.

For a moment, Yue Chan was stunned by the opponent’s invincible Aura, standing motionless in place.

“Hahaha… Are you not awed by this young master’s Aura? Tremble, little girl! Chant my true name, and you can attain eternal life in Reincarnation!” Lin Fan laughed loudly, instantly reverting to his unrestrained self.

Yue Chan’s delicate brows twitched, and her rosy light flared. She felt that this Junior Brother was beyond saving. She really wanted to bash this disrespectful fellow to death with a brick; his playful moments always outnumbered his serious ones.

“Come fight.” Yue Chan clapped her jade hands, and brilliant runes bloomed between her palms and fingers, dazzling and radiating divine light.

And with the enhancement of her nine Cave Heavens, this strike of hers was several times more powerful, enough to overturn mountains and seas, destroy a mountain range, terrifying beyond limit.

However, Lin Fan’s lips curled into a slight smile, and he did not dodge. His divine fist met the attack, and behind him, ten Cave Heavens emerged, their divine radiance dazzling, overshadowing all other light.

Yue Chan’s nine Cave Heavens appeared very small and insignificant in front of him.

With a “bang,” Lin Fan did not use too many techniques or runes, directly clashing head-on.

After one strike, Yue Chan was sent flying several hundred meters away, unable to even withstand a single move.

“Ten Cave Heavens! You actually opened ten Cave Heavens before me!” Yue Chan was shocked, unable to believe it, feeling like a clown.
