Chapter 439: Background

The banner and cauldron resonated, their Divine Might vast!

At this moment, everyone was stunned, not only by the terrifying power of the two weapons but also by their significance.

A cauldron soared through the air, and an ancient banner revolved around Lin Fan, like stars surrounding the moon.

This scene was incredibly unbelievable, and people were moved. How could a Heavenly God possess the ability to make two Supreme treasures behave in such a way?

“Could it be that he has been deceiving us all along, not coming from the Lower Realm, but actually from the Holy Emperor Palace?”

“No, to be precise, he is related to the Holy Emperor, with a close Bloodline, which is why the Immortal Artifacts automatically protect their master,” an Elder said.

At this moment, before everyone could be surprised, the Great Elder of Immortal Academy appeared, walking from a distance and arriving instantly.

At the same time, accompanying him was a man with sword-like eyebrows extending to his temples, heroic and imposing, looking very young.

However, everyone felt a majestic vitality from him, as well as an invisible aura that made their Souls tremble.

Without needing to think much, they understood that someone who could walk alongside the Grand Elder must also be a Supreme!

Because only a true Supreme could be so terrifying and unfathomable; merely standing there, he made all Dao submit.

“Who is that person, daring to walk side by side with the Grand Elder?” someone quietly asked.

“Don’t be rude, he is the Holy Emperor Palace’s First Battle General—Supreme Ning Yu!” an old monster rebuked.

Upon hearing this, people were greatly astonished. Who was Ning Yu? One of the strongest individuals in the Holy Emperor Palace, whose strength was comparable to an Old Ancestor of a Longevity Family.

Legend has it that he was one of the earliest followers of the Holy Emperor, with profound and unfathomable cultivation, which could be described as reaching the heavens and earth.

In fact, Ning Yu was not particularly outstanding in his youth, coming from a humble background, merely a Loose Cultivator with a bit of cultivation Aptitude.

It wasn't until he met the Holy Emperor and received his guidance that, through the accumulation of years, his Dao cultivation surged, and he became a Supreme within twenty thousand years.

It can be said that this was a legend, second only to the Holy Emperor.

Not long ago, Ning Fei, who appeared on the Immortal Family Battlefield, was his descendant, his grandson.

The most terrifying point was that he was incredibly young, full of vitality, and had an Innate advantage compared to those old Supremes.

Therefore, the reason why the Holy Emperor Palace was powerful and feared by everyone was not only due to the Holy Emperor’s illustrious reputation but also their foundation.

Just then, Ning Yu moved, his eyes bright, his expression showing a hint of excitement, and he walked directly to Lin Fan.

“So similar, too similar. I never expected the Holy Emperor to still have a descendant alive…”

“Young Lord, please return to the palace with me!”

“Me?” Lin Fan was full of confusion, then looked at the Grand Elder.

Xiang Zhili nodded and said, “This is not the place to talk. Let’s go to my place.”

…

Soon, the Immortal Academy became quiet, but it was not peaceful. The people of Wolong Land dispersed, yet they were still discussing animatedly.

And now, Lin Fan, who had attracted all the attention, wandered on a pebble path, looking at the golden great cauldron, lost in thought.

Unknowingly, he had arrived at a Purple Bamboo Forest, where white mist hung hazy and Immortal Qi permeated the air.

This place was very peaceful, with each bamboo stalk glistening, its leaves warm and carrying a faint purple mist, beautiful beyond compare.

Beside the path, a stream gurgled, flowing over the clear, jade-like bamboo roots, occasionally emitting a melodious tinkling sound.

This was the Grand Elder’s secluded dwelling!

Ahead, several figures were conversing. Besides the Grand Elder, some old monsters from the Immortal Academy were also present, as well as Ning Yu.

“Elder Xiang, you have truly given my Holy Emperor Palace a great surprise!” Ning Yu said.

“I also accidentally discovered him in the No Man's Land and followed him all the way to the Three Thousand Dao Provinces to confirm it.”

Then, the Gray-Clothed Old Man smiled, and changed the subject: “Fellow Daoist Ning, about the evolution fluid…”

“As you know, the higher the grade of the evolution fluid, the more difficult it is to refine. We still have some Grade 8 remaining in our Holy Emperor Palace, but as for Grade 9, don’t even think about it.”

“That kind of evolution fluid, which can make one instantly become a Supreme, has long been used up,” Ning Yu shook his head.

“Do you think it’s possible to refine it again? We can collect the required Immortal Materials ourselves,” the Grand Elder asked again.

At the same time, many old monsters around him were also eagerly anticipating, because who wouldn’t want to go a step further?

Some people’s Lifespans were even nearing their end; if they didn’t advance, all that awaited them was to pass away.

“This is not just about the Materials. To this day, the Grade 9 evolution fluid has only been successfully refined by the Holy Emperor himself.”

Ning Yu stated directly that the difficulty was immense, and it also required an Elixir of Life as the main ingredient, along with the Primordial Life Stone, and hundreds of kinds of divine medicines as auxiliary Materials.

Back then, the Holy Emperor himself searched throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths for thousands of years to gather enough Materials for one refinement.

In addition, the refining technique was extraordinary, requiring the universe as a cauldron and extracting the essence of Heaven and Earth Origin…

“Hiss… Such consumption and methods, refining a Nine Revolutions Golden Core would be no more than this, right?” an old monster gasped upon hearing this.

In fact, it was indeed so. As soon as the Grade 9 evolution fluid appeared, it caused many Heaven and Earth anomalies.

Even Heaven and Earth would send down Lightning Tribulations, each strike capable of killing a Dunyijing Cultivator and severely injuring a Supreme.

Such a scene, compared to the descriptions of refining a Nine Revolutions Golden Core in ancient texts, if not identical, was very similar.

Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder was also greatly astonished. In this world, the only person who dared to refine medicine like this was the Holy Emperor, known as a madman.

Suddenly, many excited old monsters’ hearts sank.

“Of course, if Elder Xiang wishes to refine it, we will not be reluctant to share the Pill Formula,” Ning Yu smiled, very refined.

In fact, the Holy Emperor Palace had already collected most of the Materials, but they didn’t dare to refine it again precisely for this reason.

“Alas, it’s indeed not that simple,” the Grand Elder sighed.

Next, some old monsters left in disappointment. Ning Yu, Xiang Zhili, and others then looked at Lin Fan and conversed with him.

However, Lin Fan was completely bewildered. He had suddenly become the successor of a major power, called “Young Lord” by a Supreme; it was like a dream.

This was like, you were originally a poor boy with no parents, and then one day someone suddenly told you that you were a top-tier rich second generation who had been lost. Nothing could be more dramatic than this.

“Young Lord, you have suffered these past years.”

“There’s no suffering. Hardship allows one to grow. A greenhouse cannot raise a True Dragon,” Lin Fan said calmly.

He didn’t seem very happy or particularly concerned about his “rich second generation” identity.

He had always relied on himself and was accustomed to it.

On the contrary, he even felt a sense of vigilance.

Ning Yu didn’t mind, smiling gently: “The Holy Emperor is the wisest deity of all time. His arrangements, his descendants, are naturally meant to be this way.”

Lin Fan pondered, and instantly understood what Pretty Sister had said before she left. No wonder her eyes looked strange when she used to look at him.

However, he still had many doubts in his heart, feeling that his background was not so simple.

But the true details, he estimated, only that Ye Qingxian knew.

Just then, someone came to report: “Grand Elder, the current Patriarch of the Wang Family requests an audience!”
