Chapter 4307: Token of the Battlefield of the Gods

"Very well, since you've said as much, I understand what I need to do." Xiao Fan nodded.

This was, in a sense, the condition between him and the Mysterious Woman: he would Cultivate diligently to handle the coming great calamity, while the matter regarding Ye Miaoyin would be left entirely to the Mysterious Woman.

Xiao Fan was not worried that she would go back on her word; after all, there was no need for her to deceive him.

Once his Realm improved and reached a sufficient level, he would naturally go to see the Goddess of Light and bring Ye Miaoyin back to his side.

"Heh… You're quite clever." The Mysterious Woman spoke with a smile.

"Heh… If I weren't clever, would you have made me the successor to the Battlefield of the Gods?" Xiao Fan asked with a smile.

"Alright, enough with the glib talk. What are your plans for the future?"

"Plans?" Xiao Fan paused, stunned. "I haven't thought about it yet. Just making myself stronger, I suppose. That should be it."

"Stronger?" The Mysterious Woman rubbed her chin, her gaze assessing Xiao Fan.

"What is it? What do you want to say?!"

"Heh… It's nothing. Getting stronger is correct. As you are now, even the Battlefield of the Gods cannot help you much anymore. However… I have a gift for you."

"A gift?" Xiao Fan was stunned. "What kind of gift?"

"This…" The Mysterious Woman took a Token out from her robes.

The Token was ancient and simple, filled with the traces of time. Its material was unique; Xiao Fan had never seen an object made of such Materials before.

"This is…"

"This is the Token of the Battlefield of the Gods, a form of recognition for the successor. It bears a Magic Array seal. Once you encounter danger, no matter where you are, it can teleport you back to the Battlefield of the Gods. But remember… you only have one chance." The Mysterious Woman said slowly.

"One chance? Anywhere? Even if there are Barriers or Magic Arrays, it's the same?" Xiao Fan looked surprised.

"That's right. It can teleport you back to the Battlefield of the Gods from anywhere, but you only have one chance to use it." The Mysterious Woman said slowly.

"Then… after I return to the Battlefield of the Gods, can't you just give me another identical Token? That way, I can keep roaming around outside," Xiao Fan thought about it and laughed triumphantly.

The Mysterious Woman: "…"

Hearing Xiao Fan's words, the Mysterious Woman was speechless.

"You… brat, stop dreaming. There is only one such Token, and it can only be used once. Do you understand?" The Mysterious Woman said with feigned anger.

"Why?!" Xiao Fan looked surprised, his inner calculations shattered.

"Heh… Because the Materials used to craft the Token are rare and can no longer be found today. Furthermore, the Battlefield of the Gods does not need a piece of trash as a successor… One chance to save your life is enough. If someone needs the protection of the Battlefield of the Gods a second time, then there is no point in their existence." The Mysterious Woman's gaze was firm as she stared intently into Xiao Fan's eyes.

In a sense, the Mysterious Woman was warning Xiao Fan, reminding him that he was not indispensable.

"Heh… Senior, I was just asking. You don't have to be so serious. Rest assured, I am very strong; under normal circumstances, I will absolutely never need to use it." Xiao Fan grinned.

"I hope so…" The Mysterious Woman sighed. "If you want to grow stronger quickly in the future, go Cultivate in the outer domains. My advice to you is to stop using spatial Magical Artifacts… Every improvement in your Realm from now on will be a test for you, understand? Otherwise, when you reach the Peak of the True Emperor Realm, you will realize you have missed out on a lot… Wishing to advance to the Emperor Lord Realm would then be a distant dream."

"Very well, I understand." Xiao Fan hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Xiao Fan understood the Mysterious Woman's words very easily.

In fact, Xiao Fan had been feeling this way recently; because he relied too much on the Dream of Heaven and Sea, his ability to fight above his own Realm had greatly diminished.

On the path to becoming stronger, the Realm is only one aspect; there are also various great Opportunities, as well as combat intuition and insights from Cultivation…

Now, what Xiao Fan needed was to temper himself in battle.

"Very well, you are a smart person, so it is good that you understand. Alright, you may leave." The Mysterious Woman waved her hand.

"Ah? You're letting me leave now?" Xiao Fan was stunned.

"Otherwise? What else do you want to do?!"

Xiao Fan: "…"

"I just arrived not long ago; am I going back now?!" Xiao Fan looked surprised and glanced at the Token in his hand. "Besides this, is there nothing else?!"

"Heh… Brat, don't be greedy. External objects are of little use to you. What you need to temper is yourself, understand? Otherwise, wanting to advance to the Emperor Lord Realm is simply impossible."

"This… Very well, then I shall leave, Senior." Xiao Fan sighed and shook his head helplessly.

"Senior, please do not forget the thing you promised me!"

"Rest assured, I will not forget." The Mysterious Woman nodded and watched as Xiao Fan left the Battlefield of the Gods.
