Chapter 423: A Prodigy Among Prodigies

Divine Sons and Saintesses only exist within the Four Great Forces: Jixian Sect, Piaomiao Immortal Palace, Ziyun Immortal Cave, and Thunder Fire Sect.

These so-called Divine Sons and Saintesses represent the entire future of their Sects.

It is a title that only a true Prodigy among Prodigies can inherit; they are geniuses destined to reach the Pi Hai Realm and possess the potential to reach the Yuding Realm.

The Sect's resources are tilted in their favor; the Sect will provide massive, continuous support for whatever they need to help them increase their strength.

But now, some Elders were actually comparing Divine Son Liu Yuan and Saintess Jiang Nian to Xiao Fan…

“Indeed… when Divine Son Liu Yuan and Saintess Jiang Nian were in the Tongtian Realm, they didn't seem to be able to kill those in the Xuandan Realm!” someone responded.

It had to be said that Xiao Fan killing a second-stage Xuandan Realm cultivator while only at the fifth level of the Tongtian Realm had a massive impact on them.

Just what kind of Prodigy could achieve such a feat!

“Alright, let's leave it at that for now,” the Ancestor of Jixian Sect spoke, signaling for everyone to be quiet.

In his view, it was better to handle matters regarding Xiao Fan with a low profile.

However, after learning about this, he cursed the entire family of that mysterious powerhouse in his heart…

Inside the Discussion Hall, everyone began discussing other matters.

…

Xiao Fan was naturally unaware of these things.

Returning to the Jixian Sect, he was in high spirits.

This outing had been quite fruitful…

With a net worth of over twenty million Spirit Stones, he had also obtained ten drops of eight gods spirit blood.

What he needed to do next was to raise his Alchemy attainment to the third grade.

“A pity I still don't have a good Pill Furnace,” Xiao Fan murmured, feeling a bit disappointed.

He felt some regret about this; without a good Pill Furnace, practicing Alchemy in the outside world would surely be inconvenient.

He had originally planned to see if there was a suitable one at the Auction House, but in the end, no Pill Furnaces were up for auction.

Xiao Fan returned to his Immortal Cave and first let out Xiao Jin.

“Wooo-owww,” “Wooo-owww”…

The Golden-Haired Lion let out two low growls, greeting Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan threw all his remaining dried meat into the Spirit Beast Room and left him alone.

The Golden-Haired Lion still had plenty of dried meat left over from before…

Xiao Fan returned to the Secret Room and took out five ancient artifacts he had bought from that street vendor.

With the five ancient artifacts in hand, the Myriad Phenomena and the Enlightenment Seed inside him became restless…

Each one was jumping around actively, itching to devour these items immediately.

Xiao Fan put them away directly. He had originally wanted to study if these items had anything special about them, but these two little fellows were too unruly.

“I can't Breakthrough here for now; the commotion would be too great,” Xiao Fan reminded them.

Each of his Breakthroughs was louder than the last. He had a premonition that if these five items were devoured by the two little fellows, the spiritual energy they would feed back to him would be immense.

He was afraid he might destroy the entire Immortal Cave when the time came.

Upon receiving Xiao Fan's Divine Thought, the two little fellows were dissatisfied but ultimately had no choice.

After all, Xiao Fan was the boss…

Xiao Fan exhaled and sensed his current strength.

“I should be able to shatter another star now.”

He could now challenge those at the second stage of the Xuandan Realm. The last time at Bailian Peak, tempering his body with the North Underworld Hammer Sounds had brought him immense benefits.

He felt that he could shatter another star now.

Xiao Fan closed his eyes, and his Divine Soul entered the star chart.

Without hesitation, he directly summoned a massive star.

It flew rapidly from the endless sea of stars…

“This should be the eighth star,” Xiao Fan murmured.

This star was the eighth in the cultivation system, and he was very curious about what kind of treasure it would drop.

The star was extremely fast, floating above Xiao Fan in the blink of an eye…

Xiao Fan exhaled, and his Aura rose steadily…

A powerful vortex radiated outward from him in all directions…

He could now fight against experts of the second-stage Xuandan Realm, his strength even greater than before.

Magical Artifacts could not be brought into the star chart.

Xiao Fan's right hand shone with golden light as the fist seal of the Samsara Fist condensed…

“Samsara Fist!”

Xiao Fan gave a low shout as a steady stream of spiritual energy poured in.

It wasn't over yet. Once the Samsara Fist reached the peak of his current strength, he shouted again!

“Spirit-Devouring Moon Slash!”

This move was a method of enhancing attacks by devouring one's own spiritual energy.

It could be used on Magical Artifacts or on oneself.

Xiao Fan planned to apply the Spirit-Devouring Moon Slash to the Samsara Fist.

One strike!

Exhausting all the spiritual energy in his body to directly shatter the star!

“Ah~!”

Xiao Fan gave a thunderous roar, stepped forward, leaped into the air, and aimed at the massive star.

His Aura surged, and the Samsara Fist glowed with golden light.

“Boom”…

One punch.

This punch was Xiao Fan's strongest strike at present.

Within the Jixian Sect, inside his own Secret Room, he didn't need to conserve his spiritual energy.

He could go all out with this strike!

“Crackle”…

Struck by this punch, cracks began to appear on the surface of the eighth star…

“Rumble”…

A loud explosion rang out as the entire star shattered…

It turned into pieces of rubble that drifted in all directions before vanishing into nothingness.

Xiao Fan landed; this strike was exactly as he had imagined.

With the Samsara Fist combined with the Spirit-Devouring Moon Slash, even though he was only at the Early Stage of the fifth level of the Tongtian Realm, he could still shatter this eighth star.

Furthermore, Xiao Fan felt that he wasn't too far from being able to shatter the ninth star.
