Chapter 86: The Secret Realm of Patching the Sky

Chapter 86: Butian Secret Realm

The Butian Secret Realm is located in the southern region of Butian State, not far from Butian Ancient City.

Although it has the words “Butian” in its name, it does not exclusively belong to the Butian Sect; it is jointly managed by the various Schools in this State.

At the same time, this is a Small World, created by an ancient great power. When it was formed and by whom it was built, no one knows.

However, there is also a legend that it is a Minor Thousand Worlds left behind by an ancient Supreme, containing many Opportunities, such as sacred medicine, Heavenly bones, and Supreme-tier treasured artifacts.

But this Secret Realm is very special; it can only be opened once every thousand years, and each exploration has a time limit, approximately three to four months.

Furthermore, it suppresses the Cultivator’s cultivation level, with the Spiritual Transformation Realm being the limit. Figures like those at the Master Level cannot forcefully enter and explore, as they will be repelled.

Therefore, whenever it opens, the various Schools in Butian State flock to it, sending their descendants to enter and contend for great Opportunities.

However, this time was different. Several Schools, such as the Golden Crow Teachings and Xuantian Sect, feared that the Butian Sect would dominate and monopolize the Opportunities within the Secret Realm.

So they jointly announced that they would allow people from other great States to participate in a Genius selection trial, the purpose being to muddy the waters.

However, to the surprise of the various Schools, the Butian Sect actually agreed, raising no objections and supporting the younger generation in sparring and honing their skills.

In fact, many Master Levels had a premonition that this era would not be peaceful; extraordinary Geniuses would emerge in great numbers, like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, something unprecedented in any other era.

This scene was like the final elegy of a prosperous age, after which it would rapidly decline!

Instead of guarding those things, it was better to let the younger generation compete, grow rapidly, and from among them, a Dragon would emerge, leading the School to continued prosperity.

“There are really a lot of people here!”

A group of Butian Sect Disciples exclaimed, standing on a tall building, overlooking the crowded streets of the city, which had at least ten times more people than usual.

In just a few days, many Cultivators had arrived in the ancient city, making it exceptionally lively and overcrowded.

At a glance, different races from various States could be seen: Pixiu, True Roar, Golden-Winged Great Peng, Golden Luan Bird, and other powerful Heaven Rank Vicious Beasts.

“So many delicious ingredients!” Lin Fan’s eyes gleamed as his gaze fell upon the various beasts.

He was observing and muttering, analyzing which part would be the tastiest, and he wiped a bit of drool, like a hungry wolf, his small fangs sparkling.

The Butian Sect Disciples present felt a chill in their hearts and were almost driven mad. What kind of expression was that from their Initial Senior Brother? He actually wanted to eat the Prodigies of various races!

“I have a dream: to eat all the myriad worlds and devour anything that isn't in human form,” Lin Fan declared solemnly and loudly.

The group of Butian Sect Disciples stumbled, all rolling their eyes, unsure of what to say. This Initial Junior Brother was too unconventional.

“Cough, actually, I have another dream…” Lin Fan said seriously, his fair and delicate face filled with earnestness. “Subdue all the males and take the females as mounts!”

The young male and female Prodigies were speechless. The Initial Senior Brother had quite the guts; who in the Upper Realm would dare to speak like that?

One must know that most Initial Prodigies have the Legacy of an immortal power behind them. Under normal circumstances, battles between them would only be to a certain extent, without harming their lives.

Otherwise, it could very likely lead to a war between two Schools.

“Senior Brother, your dream is truly grand, but I wonder if that ‘ride’ is proper?” A young man smiled slyly.

“What are you saying, Senior Brother? Why don’t I quite understand?” Lin Fan’s large eyes blinked clearly, his face full of innocent naivety.

“Feng Yu, don’t lead our adorable Junior Brother astray, or we’ll all beat you up together.”

Immediately, all the young girls rolled their eyes, glaring at the older man, and collectively accused him of being vulgar.

Feng Yu: “…”

“Oh, the Initial Qing Xian, the young girl from the Lotus Clan, has also arrived!”

Just then, the city stirred, and everyone looked towards the nearby area. A group of people, from the Green Lotus Clan, flew into the city.

Among them was a Green-Clad Woman, thirteen or fourteen years old, with an outstanding temperament, icy skin and jade bones, perfectly flawless, exuding a lotus fragrance throughout her body, drawing many exclamations.

“Oh my, are there other Initial Prodigies participating?” Lin Fan asked in surprise. He had thought it was just an ordinary Secret Realm, but he never expected it to attract such figures.

“This counts as a small grand gathering. The Master Level invited many great Schools to gather, and it is said that the most important Legacy in the Secret Realm has yet to be obtained by anyone.”

“And the forces from several nearby great States also intend to let us younger generation clash. This will be a Dragon-Tiger battle, so there will naturally be Initial Prodigies. So, Junior Brother, you must be careful,” a charming and lovely young girl smiled.

“Will there be many Initial Prodigies coming?” Lin Fan couldn’t help but ask.

The young girl nodded and said, “Li Yuncong from Tianyun Prefecture, Divine Cliff Academy, Celestial Immortal Academy, the Taotie Clan, and also our School’s mortal enemy, the Jietian Sect, are all included.”

“Oh, and Junior Brother’s defeated opponent, Golden Cicada from the Western Sect, will also come,” another beautiful and moving young girl added.

The next day, the ancient city was once again stirred, as a young man arrived.

“Initial Li Yuncong from Tianyun Prefecture has arrived!”

“This person… is extraordinary!” Lin Fan was startled. Looking from afar, this person’s Qi and blood were monstrous, stronger than a Heaven Rank Vicious Beast.

Moreover, this person was very composed, unlike typical young Prodigies who are arrogant and look down on everything.

Subsequently, Mu Zixiao, one of the twin Prodigies from Divine Cliff Academy, also arrived. He was tall and heroic, enveloped in Holy Light, exuding a compelling aura.

At the same time, Lin Fan also saw an acquaintance. This was a woman, dressed in a golden dress, shining brightly.

She had a slender and graceful figure, charming and attractive, with long black hair cascading down. She was elegant and noble, with a veil covering her face, giving her a sense of mystery and heroism.

“It’s been a few years, and that annoying Feng Wu has grown up a lot.”

Lin Fan recalled being pinched on the face by her when he was little, and he felt indignant. He vowed to get revenge when he had the chance, by gently kneading a different part of her.

Not long after, Yue Chan walked towards him, her demeanor exceptional, her white robes fluttering, and a misty haze in her eyes, making her captivating.

However, she looked slightly tired now, her face filled with a resentful expression.

“Oh, Senior Sister, what’s wrong?” Lin Fan asked leisurely, sitting with his legs crossed and sipping spiritual tea.

“Junior Brother, why don’t you take over the position of Successor instead?”

Yue Chan sighed. She was practically working herself to death, entertaining various distinguished guests every day, while Lin Fan had nothing to do. Compared to him, the position of Saintess instantly lost its appeal.

At this moment, she finally understood why her Junior Brother was unwilling to be the Successor; even a dog wouldn't want that job!

“No way, I’m just a support. I’ll still need Senior Sister to protect me in the future. It’s not suitable for me to be the Successor,” Lin Fan shook his head, pouring a cup of tea and handing it over.

“Get lost, you pervert!” Yue Chan chastised him exasperatedly. Bringing that up made her feel incredibly depressed.

Ever since she learned that Lin Fan was actually a support, it had made her feel self-conscious and completely lose confidence, starting to seriously doubt if she was useless, unable to even defeat a healer.

“Senior Sister, you can’t think like that. I’m only strong in the early stages; in the future, I’ll definitely still rely on you,” Lin Fan smiled genuinely and brightly, looking harmless.

Yue Chan’s large eyes were bright and lively, her eyelashes long, and her red lips glistening. She scoffed, “Fine, you know how to talk. When we enter the Secret Realm later, I’ll reluctantly take care of you.”

“Alright, I’ll leave everything to you, Senior Sister!”
