The formidable Lin Fan

Chapter 657: The Mighty Lin Fan

Lin Fan sighed. Since he had reached the Dam, he naturally wanted to go home and take a look.

Tens of thousands of years passed in a flash. He had crossed the Boundary Sea and witnessed too many battles. Some Immortal Kings had lost themselves, eroded by darkness.

Even if some powerful individuals remained clear-headed, at that level, their hearts had long grown cold, and the Great Dao was without emotion.

Often, such beings were the most dangerous, pursuing only their self-interest. Upon their return, no one knew what they might do.

Those like Lin Fan, who maintained their original intent, remained passionate, and went to the Boundary Sea to kill enemies to quell the turmoil, were very few.

Of course, this was related to a person's age. Some people simply lived too long, becoming numb and neither human nor ghost.

Especially for Cultivators who saw no hope for their future path, it was a heavy blow. To achieve a Breakthrough, they would stop at nothing.

The Great Turmoil came about precisely this way.

“Thanks to that old scoundrel, otherwise, if I wanted to return, I would have to spend a lot of time deducing.”

Finally, Lin Fan embarked on his return journey. On the other side of the Dam, before he left, he had already constructed a secret passage.

He was a being of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, having once nourished this realm and left an indelible mark. Naturally, he would not be rejected by heaven and earth.

“Chi!”

With a flash of Dao runes, Lin Fan returned smoothly, without any problems.

At the same time, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths remained as usual, no different from eighty thousand years ago, except for the cycles of life that had come and gone.

There was no other way. Without Immortal Ascension, all beings would eventually undergo Reincarnation, especially in an Era of Dharma Decline, a land lacking long-life substances.

Fortunately, some old acquaintances were still alive, having survived by relying on the sacred pure lands evolved by Immortal Kings, not dying of old age in the river of time.

“Still, some people have died. The Great Dao is without emotion…” Lin Fan's gaze was profound as he looked at the newly added graves in the Holy Emperor Palace.

With a single thought of an Immortal King, he quickly understood everything. Nothing could be hidden from him. Most people had failed in their attempts to Breakthrough, not dying of natural old age.

This was unavoidable; the Great Dao was inherently like this. If one didn't advance, one would retreat. Once they failed, even an Immortal King couldn't save their life in time.

“Boom!”

On this day, the news of Lin Fan's return shook everyone, causing a sensation.

After tens of thousands of years, the Holy Emperor reappearing in the world was by no means a small matter; it had a huge impact!

Because all clans knew that the reason the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths had been peaceful for so long, with no one daring to invade, was precisely due to Lin Fan's efforts.

He had blocked foreign enemies in the Boundary Sea, preventing the flames of war from reaching his homeland, establishing a formidable reputation that no one dared to provoke.

Lin Fan also made many powerful beings aware that the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths was his mother realm, and whoever dared to covet it would surely suffer his retaliation.

“Haha… I knew why so many little rascals were so excited; it turns out our great hero has returned!”

At this moment, Second Under Heaven laughed as he walked over, with a hint of teasing and irreverence, embodying the flavor of playing in the Mortal World.

With Lin Fan's return, he, as one of the few Immortal Kings in this realm, naturally came.

In addition, there were also the Yellow Path Immortal Gold Daoist, Cicada Ancestor, and others, who wanted to understand the situation outside, especially matters concerning the Boundary Sea.

These years, due to Lin Fan's departure, someone needed to guard this realm, so they had barely left and knew very little.

“Where is Shi Hao?” Lin Fan inquired.

“That kid has been in seclusion for many years, attempting a Breakthrough. I think when he reappears, our realm will have another Immortal King-level expert.”

Bird Master explained, his eyes very strange. He felt that when Shi Hao emerged from seclusion, he would definitely not be an ordinary King.

Perhaps… he would become a Giant, just like Lin Fan.

He wasn't the only one with this thought; the others also had expectations.

These two were too special; each created a system, with far-reaching influence, carrying great Luck, and could not be judged by ordinary standards.

They even felt that Lin Fan might be able to ascend to a higher level through this.

In the past, several beings jointly created the Ancient Immortal Method, almost breaking through to the King realm. What would happen now, having independently created a system?

The old men were very hopeful in their hearts.

Afterward, they sat down to drink tea and discuss, which lasted for several decades, as there was simply too much to talk about.

“During my absence, has anyone invaded?” Lin Fan asked.

“The Exotic Realm did make some probes, but it's still the same; Immortal Kings can't cross over, so there aren't any major problems,” Second Under Heaven replied.

Lin Fan nodded; that was good.

Then, Bird Master brought up another matter, saying, “The Immortal Realm occasionally opens its Immortal Gate and has inquired about your whereabouts.”

“Some old scoundrels really have a death wish!” A murderous intent flashed in Lin Fan's eyes; he already knew who was behind it.

It was none other than the two old fogeys, Ao Sheng and Great Beginning. Tens of thousands of years ago, Lin Fan had seen them both on the Dam.

However, at that time, they were far apart, and he was engaged in a great battle with a fallen King, unable to disengage, which was why he didn't bother to pursue and kill them.

Later, he heard that the reason Ao Sheng and Great Beginning left the Immortal Realm and came to the edge of the Boundary Sea was to welcome back an old Senior.

“Overall, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths has been relatively peaceful, not subjected to attacks from the Boundary Sea,” Jade Tablet Grand-uncle added.

Next, Lin Fan explained his experiences in the Boundary Sea to the old men, and even mentioned encountering a Giant upon his return.

“Qu Chong, he is a long-renowned expert! In the era when we rose, he was already a Giant.”

“This person is not simple; he is a hegemon in the Boundary Sea. The fact that you could repel him shows how formidable you are!” Bird Master sighed.

“Does he have connections with the Exotic Realm?” Lin Fan asked again.

Second Under Heaven nodded, saying, “Yes, this person is close to the Exotic Realm, especially with Kun Di, almost to the point of being a being from that realm.”

“It's a pity that he escaped into the Exotic Realm and couldn't be completely killed. Once he recovers, he'll be another problem,” Lin Fan regretted immensely.

Hearing this, Second Under Heaven, Yellow Path Immortal Gold Daoist, and Cicada Ancestor didn't know what to say. Qu Chong was almost killed?

This was truly a shocking piece of news!

They looked at Lin Fan, their expressions complex, feeling that after tens of thousands of years, this kid had become even more unfathomable.

Although these few were in this realm and rarely went out, they had still heard some things, or more accurately, news had reached the Dam.

In the Boundary Sea, a peerless Devil King had emerged, stirring up boundless storms, and whoever dared to provoke him was destined to meet a bad end.

They just hadn't expected that this person was actually Lin Fan; it was too surprising and shocking.

“What are your plans? Do you still intend to enter the Boundary Sea for tempering?” Second Under Heaven and the other old men looked at him.

It could be said that every move Lin Fan made now affected many people's hearts. He was too strong, worthy of the attention of Immortal Kings.

“Not for now. The turmoil in the Boundary Sea is becoming more severe. I need to personally oversee it for a period, and at the same time, refine myself and digest the gains from the Boundary Sea.”

“At least wait until Little Hao becomes a King.”

Lin Fan murmured. He took out some of his collections, all Heaven And Earth Treasures, which he had seized from the Immortal Kings he had killed.

Among them were weapons refined by Kings for many years, supreme elixirs, and the Dao scriptures they had created from their lifelong insights.

The treasures were so abundant that even the old monsters were tempted and dazzled.

“You can take them all to comprehend and arm yourselves. The future war will be too brutal. I hope the people around me are as strong as possible.”

After all this, Lin Fan quietly went into seclusion, not appearing for many years, because he wanted to Break through the King realm and become an Emperor!
