Chapter 5243: Irrigation, Root

"This matter goes back a long way…" Holy Ancestor Kongchen sighed, recounting events from the past.

According to Holy Ancestor Kongchen, he had achieved numerous battle merits, and the Ancient Burial Holy Land had rewarded him with a divine tribulation immortal fruit.

This matter was not a secret; experts like the King of Ten Thousand Weapons were all aware of it.

Afterward, Holy Ancestor Kongchen refined the divine tribulation immortal fruit in public, but he ultimately failed. It was only because the Three Ancient Ancestors intervened that Holy Ancestor Kongchen did not perish.

At the time, this incident caused quite a stir, and people from all the major Holy Lands knew about it.

However, according to Holy Ancestor Kongchen, the Three Ancient Ancestors had actually given him two divine tribulation immortal fruits.

One was given openly for Holy Ancestor Kongchen to refine himself, while the other was for Holy Ancestor Kongchen to wait for instructions before bringing it out as a reward.

"Instructions? What instructions?!" Hearing the word 'instructions', Xiao Fan and the King of Ten Thousand Weapons were both stunned.

"Hehehe… That would be the fall of Baiyun Academy," Holy Ancestor Kongchen said calmly.

Hearing Holy Ancestor Kongchen's words, Xiao Fan froze, and his body suddenly trembled. "Could it be… related to the White Jade Ice Abyss?!"

"It should be," Holy Ancestor Kongchen smiled. "When I received the second immortal fruit, there was no such thing as Baiyun Academy in the Kongchen Holy Land. I was puzzled at the time… wondering what this Baiyun Academy was. But later I found out. From that moment on, I waited for the fall of Baiyun Academy. As it happened, the time of Baiyun Academy's fall coincided with the start of the Ten Thousand Year Grand Ceremony, so I brought out the divine tribulation immortal fruit as a reward."

According to Holy Ancestor Kongchen's explanation, the Kongchen Holy Land's knowledge of the divine tribulation immortal fruit was also related to his past failure in Undergoing Tribulation.

After all, everything concerning Holy Ancestor Kongchen was a matter of concern for the Kongchen Holy Land.

However, because Holy Ancestor Kongchen had failed, and due to his status, records of the failure had almost disappeared.

Except for the Old Ancestors of the several great ancient clans, the younger generation knew almost nothing about this incident, and even the Old Ancestors of the several great ancient clans would not discuss it in private.

"Senior, do you mean… the Ancient Burial Holy Land knew beforehand that I would come here?!" Xiao Fan hesitated for a moment before asking in a low voice.

"Perhaps. After all…" Holy Ancestor Kongchen looked deeply at Xiao Fan. "Among the Three Ancient Ancestors, someone has comprehended the Future Scroll."

Hearing this, Xiao Fan was silent for a moment and nodded.

Indeed.

The Future Scroll was a strange power that could peer into the future.

Someone among the Three Ancient Ancestors had comprehended the Future Scroll, peered into the future, and thus laid out a plan in advance.

But Xiao Fan was puzzled. If it was a plan laid out in advance, why would they let the Ancient Burial Holy Land be destroyed?!

Likewise, this was also a point of confusion for the King of Ten Thousand Weapons.

"Hehehe… That, I do not know," Holy Ancestor Kongchen shook his head, looked at Xiao Fan, and smiled. "If you can thoroughly comprehend the Future Scroll, perhaps you will understand."

Xiao Fan shook his head helplessly. Holy Ancestor Kongchen's words were as good as saying nothing.

How easy could it be to comprehend the Future Scroll?

"Young Friend Xiao, after you consumed the immortal core, what transformation occurred? And what is this 'root' you speak of?!" Holy Ancestor Kongchen asked curiously.

Having consumed the divine tribulation immortal fruit and failed in Undergoing Tribulation, it was a lifelong pain for Holy Ancestor Kongchen.

"This… actually, I cannot say for sure." Xiao Fan touched his lower abdomen and said, "It is just a root, like a seed, but yet it is not a seed."

"Then what is it?!" The King of Ten Thousand Weapons asked curiously.

"It is… a mysterious power that seems to be waiting for me… to irrigate it."

Hearing this, Holy Ancestor Kongchen and the King of Ten Thousand Weapons exchanged a glance.

As for Xiao Fan's answer, they were left completely confused.

Of course.

Now, Xiao Fan had already reached the Ninth Layer of the Emperor Realm, having consumed the divine tribulation immortal fruit and the immortal core, becoming a peerless monster who had completed ten transformations.

The two of them were not at all surprised by any novel discoveries he might have made.

Xiao Fan exchanged some more secrets with the King of Ten Thousand Weapons and Holy Ancestor Kongchen before leaving.

Now, Xiao Fan was qualified to learn more about the secrets of the Ancient Burial Holy Land.

After Xiao Fan left, he chatted with Ye Miaoyin for three days…

Afterward, Xiao Fan went into seclusion; he needed to re-refine the World-Destroying Seed.

Moreover, after reaching the Ninth Layer of the Emperor Realm, Xiao Fan's comprehension of the Future Scroll and the Fate Scroll seemed to have reached a new level.

Inside the Dream of Heaven and Sea, Xiao Fan used ten thousand times the flow of time to meditate…

For Xiao Fan at the Emperor Realm, re-refining the World-Destroying Seed was easy. After one hundred thousand years inside the Dream of Heaven and Sea, a new World-Destroying Seed appeared.

And it was even more terrifying than the previous World-Destroying Seed.

Xiao Fan felt the aura of the new World-Destroying Seed; it seemed that with just a single thought, the World-Destroying Seed could destroy everything.

Very strong.

Strong to an unimaginable degree.

After re-refining the World-Destroying Seed, Xiao Fan's Causality Seed and Future Seed also underwent an earth-shattering transformation.

Another one hundred thousand years passed…

Xiao Fan suddenly discovered that the power jointly evolved by the Causality Seed, the World-Destroying Seed, and the Future Seed was actually irrigating that "root" within his body.
