Chapter 364: First Visit to the Ninth Heaven

Chapter 364 – First Arrival in Nine Heavens

On this day, the time for departure arrived. The Great Elder of Immortal Academy conjured a golden path beneath his feet, sweeping up Lin Fan and Yue Chan, and then vanished from Butian Sect.

A Supreme's speed is incredibly fast, even 'lightning quick' would be an understatement. In the blink of an eye, the stars shifted, Three Thousand Provinces receded, and they appeared outside the Star Domain.

"So fast!"

Lin Fan and Yue Chan were astonished. Time fragments danced around them, and the sun, moon, and rivers of stars flew by. The two felt as if they were in the long river of time.

They finally understood what a Supreme was. Just this speed alone was incomparable to other Cultivators.

All Dao were beneath their feet, interfering with time and space, as if any distance, no matter how far, was within reach.

"Whew!"

A mighty wind swept through. Xiang Zhili continued on their journey with the two, without stopping, tearing through the Void Realm and traversing the universe, heading towards Nine Heavens.

For ordinary people, this journey was unimaginable; they might never reach it in their entire lives.

Because it was too long, requiring measurement in 'billions of miles', and the desolate Star Domain was not suitable for living beings to stay for long.

Cultivators below the Master Level might die en route due to their essence and Qi not being replenished.

Furthermore, without an accurate location, one could get lost in the Star Domain. In short, it was fraught with danger.

"Boom!"

Soon, Xiang Zhili flicked his sleeve, shattering the Void Realm, and stepped out with the two, arriving above a vast land.

They had arrived!

Ahead, the ancient continent was vast, with no end in sight. Numerous stars were arranged, yet compared to it, they were like mere grains of sand.

This was Nine Heavens, high above, even larger than Ten Lands, and even more abundant in outstanding individuals and spiritual energy!

It was like the Three Thousand Provinces and the Lower Realm Eight Regions; though the difference between heaven and earth wasn't as exaggerated, it was still many times greater.

"Is this Nine Heavens, the ultimate land of myths?"

Yue Chan was moved, curiously looking around. Her soft hand tightly gripped Lin Fan's, afraid that if she let go, she wouldn't see him again.

After all, this was their first time arriving on the other side of the starry sky; everything was so unfamiliar, and it was inevitable to feel uneasy.

"The great suns in the sky are all transformed from ancient Golden Crows!" Lin Fan sighed.

At a glance, there was more than one brilliant great star, yet they were fixed in each region, rising in the morning and setting in the evening.

One should know that those ancient Golden Crows were incredibly powerful during their lives, some even existing beyond the limits of the mortal world.

Unfortunately, they all died, and even their corpses transformed into suns.

"Next, we are going to Boundless Heaven, one of the Nine Heavens. Immortal Academy is located on an ancient land there, which will also be your future place of cultivation."

The old man spoke. He was very satisfied, having made a detour through No Man's Land and discovering two excellent prospects.

"Junior Brother, have you been here before?" Yue Chan asked. She had heard Lin Fan say before that he originally came down from Nine Heavens.

"No, I lived in a mountain valley until I was four, never leaving a single step. After that, I was thrown out and ended up in Three Thousand Provinces," Lin Fan replied.

Even now, recalling it, it was still a difficult period that cast a shadow over his childhood.

"Having been away from your homeland for so many years, you must miss it greatly, right? Do you want to go back and see?"

Yue Chan stared at Lin Fan, feeling that he had it tough. Separated from his family from a young age, wandering outside, he was quite pitiful.

The Grand Elder also nodded in agreement. Although it wasn't in Boundless Heaven, for an expert like him, reaching Great Scarlet Heaven wouldn't take long.

Moreover, they should have arrived in Nine Heavens more than two months ago, but because of Qing Yao, they were delayed, though they weren't lacking this much time.

"No need. Cultivation is important. In the future, war will be everywhere, and heaven and earth might even be shattered. How can we, of this generation, be nostalgic for one place?"

"In the past, there was an Emperor's Son who emerged in the darkest era, left his homeland, traveled alone, broke the Bloodline shackles of his ancestors, became invincible under heaven, and suppressed all ages. I should do the same!"

Lin Fan spoke earnestly and eloquently. In truth, he didn't miss that broken place at all, nor did he want to see the black-hearted Ye Qingxian.

Moreover, he didn't believe Ye Qingxian would stay in the same place forever. By now, she was probably wandering somewhere in No Man's Land.

"Well said!" The Grand Elder nodded in praise, looking at Lin Fan with increasing favor and affection.

Although he didn't know who the Emperor's Son the other person spoke of was, it was certainly very inspiring, making his calm heart stir with a bit of passion.

"This path will be very difficult. First, you will have to face the Chang Sheng Family. Their disciples are not weak, but…"

"You can contend to be the leader of our realm!"

"What's a leader? What's a Chang Sheng Family? They are just a bunch of guys relying on their ancestors' legacy. Just kill your way through!"

"Yueyue, do you see? This world will be ours in the future. In the future, I will be the Heavenly Emperor, fighting across the world, and you will be the Empress, ruling the imperial harem. And then we'll have seventeen or eighteen children…"

Lin Fan vowed confidently.

Upon hearing this, Xiang Zhili's old face twitched. This kid really wasn't afraid of his big words biting him. He still wanted to be the Heavenly Emperor?

At this moment, even Yue Chan, who was used to Lin Fan's grand ambitions, was flustered. Having seventeen or eighteen children, did he take her for a sow?!

Even if she and her secondary body, Qingyi, had them together, it would take at least a decade or more to complete, and there was no guarantee of conceiving every time.

It was well-known that as a living being's cultivation increased, it became more difficult to have children. Some people might only have offspring after hundreds of thousands of years.

"So, Yueyue, we need to speed things up and put the baby-making plan on the agenda as soon as possible. It would be best to bring two back when we return to Three Thousand Provinces, to make Aunt Qing happy," Lin Fan said, winking.

"Stop talking…" Yue Chan, recalling her mother's instructions, blushed and covered Lin Fan's mouth with her delicate hand, preventing him from speaking nonsense again.

"You two have been lovey-dovey the whole way. Do you think this old man doesn't exist? Since you are so confident, you two can walk the rest of the way yourselves."

The Great Elder of Immortal Academy waved his hand, sending the two to an ancient land, then disappeared, out of sight, out of mind.

…

A few days later, Lin Fan and Yue Chan entered a remarkably ancient city,沧桑 and grand, comparable to some major sects and Holy Lands in Three Thousand Provinces.

It was situated on a plain, bustling with activity, and various powerful creatures, all pure-blooded races, constantly entered and exited the sky.

"It's all your fault for boasting. Now look, Boundless Heaven is so vast, who knows how long it will take to reach Immortal Academy."

Yue Chan complained, like a sulking little wife.

"Who knew that old man would be so stingy? At worst, your husband will take you to brave the world together. It doesn't matter if we don't go to Immortal Academy."

Lin Fan comforted her, in good spirits. Moreover, he knew that Celestial God Academy was also about to be established, so at worst, he would just wait a while.

Furthermore, compared to Immortal Ancient Law and Immortal Dao scriptures of Immortal Academy, he yearned more to go to Celestial God Academy to find Meng Tianzheng and learn about 'taking the body as a seed'.

Of course, if Xiang Zhili knew that the person he, a great figure, brought here wanted to switch to another 'academy', he would probably be so angry he'd vomit blood.

"Let's go, we'll enter the city and see how the cities of Nine Heavens differ from those in Three Thousand Provinces. Whatever you want to buy, I'll pay for it all," Lin Fan said grandly.

Upon hearing this, Yue Chan's resentment turned to joy. Her immortal face was radiant, like an immortal flower in full bloom, and her steps became much lighter.

"You better not regret it!"

"How could I? To make my wife happy, I'd never even frown."
