Chapter 3540: Speculations of the Outside World

"I didn't do it on purpose… Anyway, you have the Dream of Heaven and Sea, what are you afraid of time for? Besides… you work so hard, isn't it good to rest for a hundred years?"

"I am doing this for your own good… Xiao Fan, do you understand the importance of balancing work and rest? You were working too hard before."

"Alright, Xiao Fan, don't thank me… I am going into a deep slumber."

"…"

Hearing the star chart's words, dark lines spread across Xiao Fan's forehead.

"I… I have never seen someone as shameless as you!" Xiao Fan gritted his teeth, thoroughly angered by the star chart.

Balancing work and rest, my foot! The star chart was practically begging for him to Cultivate day and night!

"I am not a person… silly boy…" The star chart's faint voice appeared in Xiao Fan's ear.

Xiao Fan: "…"

"Get lost, get lost, get lost… you big liar!" Xiao Fan gritted his teeth in anger; he never dreamed that he would actually be deceived by the chaos divine treasure in his own hands.

Such a thing would surely be inconceivable if told to others.

His own Magical Artifact had deceived him, making him foolishly ponder in the Dream of Heaven and Sea for tens of thousands of years…

Although it had only been a hundred years in the outside world, for Xiao Fan, tens of thousands of years had already passed…

Xiao Fan felt like dying; why on earth did he believe the star chart's nonsense?!

Helplessly, Xiao Fan exhaled and shook his head: "Forget it, I'll go out and take a look…"

Of course, the time spent in the Dream of Heaven and Sea was not wasted; Xiao Fan's Realm had reached the Peak of the sixth level of the Heavenly King Realm.

It wasn't that Xiao Fan had been Cultivating, but rather that the spiritual energy absorbed within the Dream of Heaven and Sea had caused his Realm to advance on its own.

Now, Xiao Fan's aura was vigorous, reaching an unimaginable level; this power did not belong to the Heavenly King Realm at all…

"If there were no experts from the Upper Realm, I reckon I could be invincible in the Middle Realm…" Xiao Fan muttered, leaving the cave where he had been in seclusion for a hundred years.

After leaving, Xiao Fan intended to investigate the situation in the outside world. Through his inquiries, he learned that the people from the Upper Realm were still there, and now, instead of one Heavenly God Realm expert stationed there, there were three Heavenly God Realm experts present simultaneously…

"They really think highly of me…" Upon learning that there were three Heavenly God Realm experts in the Middle Realm, Xiao Fan shook his head, speechless.

He had never expected the Upper Realm to think so highly of him, sending three Heavenly God Realm experts at the same time.

Moreover, according to what Xiao Fan had gathered, it seemed that hundreds of Prodigies had also come from the Upper Realm…

These were all outstanding elites from the Upper Realm, and they had come to the Middle Realm to search for Xiao Fan's tracks as a trial assessment…

Upon learning this, Xiao Fan was speechless. He was very curious as to why such information had become known to everyone in the outside world…

Xiao Fan asked around multiple times and discovered that the matter of the Upper Realm experts descending was indeed known to everyone…

Carrying his doubts, Xiao Fan changed his appearance and re-acquired a Token from the Nine Cauldrons Association.

Nowadays, Xiao Fan's Secret Technique for disguise might be useless against experts from the Upper Realm, but those with a lower Realm than Xiao Fan would not be able to detect anything unusual at all.

The Nine Cauldrons Association's Token could be used to exchange for information, though it required payment of a certain amount of divine star stones.

Regarding the matter of the Upper Realm experts, only one person in the Nine Cauldrons Association was selling the secret, and the divine star stones charged amounted to 100 million divine star stones… and no one would ever buy this information.

After all, what kind of number is 100 million divine star stones?!

Who could easily produce 100 million divine star stones?!

Yet Xiao Fan did not begrudge the divine star stones in the slightest; he immediately inquired about the matters he was curious about… and went ahead to a nearby Nine Cauldrons Association stronghold, paid the 100 million Spirit Stones, and obtained the information.

Truth be told, Xiao Fan actually obtained many secrets from this information. It was said that… the Upper Realm experts had deliberately spread the information because they wanted to make Xiao Fan feel that he was in great danger, thereby causing him to reveal a flaw.

If Xiao Fan were still in the God Realm, the other party would definitely be afraid, thereby revealing a loophole.

In reality, the Upper Realm sending Geniuses and Prodigies for training was not at all in the hope that they would suppress Xiao Fan; after all, given their strength, meeting Xiao Fan would mean death!

It was just the Upper Realm showing their attitude, trying to scare Xiao Fan.

Moreover, it was said that the people from the Upper Realm believed that Xiao Fan was already dead, or that he was no longer in the God Domain…

Upon learning this news, Xiao Fan was immediately greatly shocked and very curious about how the other party came to know about this.
