We’re scared!

Chapter 623: We're Scared!

Yin and Yang Cross Forbidden Zone.

Lin Fan brought up the old matter again, telling them that people from the Immortal Domain had arrived, bringing an invitation, first arrogant and then respectful, inviting him to a grand event.

"There's something amiss here. You have no connection with the Pan King lineage, so why would they invite you to the Flat Peach Feast?" analyzed the Lord of the Forbidden Zone.

"I thought the same. I feel there's a conspiracy, possibly related to Willow God's enemies," Lin Fan judged.

The most important thing was that he had no ties with anyone from the Immortal Domain, didn't even know a single one of them, so why would they suddenly invite him?

No need to think much, it must be some old scoundrel, harboring ill intentions, plotting against him.

"Since that's the case, there's no need to attend," the crystal skull's jaw opened and closed, flames flickering in its eye sockets.

"No, I think we can attend, but it won't be me going…" Lin Fan said, looking at his Little Brother beside him.

"Me?" Shi Hao was stunned, not understanding why.

Moreover, his expression was extremely odd, as if saying: Little Fan, why are you pushing me into a pit of fire again?

We're scared!

"Great chaos is not far off. Relying on me alone isn't enough. Hao'er, you must grow up quickly!" Lin Fan said earnestly.

Shi Hao: I can't even refute that!

"How about this, I'll go with you," the Lord of the Forbidden Zone surprisingly said the same.

This time, Shi Hao was even more bewildered, so you're ganging up on me? Besides, I haven't even agreed, and you've already decided?

In fact, Lin Fan was originally worried that his changes would cause Shi Hao to miss entering the Ancient Passage, but now, it was like a pillow appearing when he was sleepy, perfect.

"Revisiting old grounds, to see if some Karma can be resolved, and to bestow a fortune upon you," the Lord of the Forbidden Zone added.

This was startling; his Karma must be extraordinary, involving a level certainly related to peerless Immortal Kings.

It's just… he now only has half a snow-white skull left. Does he still possess the might of yesteryear?

"Besides, we'll go too, to escort you, making it safer," said the crystal skull on the altar.

Immediately, it, along with the golden hand bone and the dripping eyeball, understood that Lin Fan had awakened them for this very matter.

Shi Hao was astonished that several ancient, powerful beings were accompanying him, which left him a bit dazed for a moment.

Lin Fan, however, knew a bit about what the Karma referred to, but he didn't inquire too much; as long as the goal was achieved, it was fine.

Furthermore, to be even safer, he also had Shi Hao bring two items: the six paths reincarnation disk and half an incense stick.

The latter, named 'World Extinguisher,' was incredibly powerful. It wasn't the incense stick itself, but its miraculous effect of providing coordinates for beings in the World Sea.

Once lit, beings from several epochs ago could potentially emerge and invade the realm where the incense was burning.

Of course, this incense stick wasn't Lin Fan's. He obtained it when he dreamt of Emperor Fall, when Meng Tianzheng and others found it at the border of the Great Red Heaven.

"With this incense stick, there will be no problem," the Lord of the Forbidden Zone was surprised, more shaken by it than by an Immortal King artifact.

Afterward, they discussed a few more things, quietly awaiting the opportune moment… One hundred years passed by very quickly; for high-level Cultivators, it was merely the duration of a seclusion.

However, for Mortals in the world, it was a long lifetime, enough to experience birth, adulthood, old age, and death.

In the Mortal World, most beings are like this. Their lifespans may vary, but without Immortal Ascension, they eventually return to dust.

"Dong!"

On this day, with a loud bang, a crack opened in the Immortal Domain's gate. Sure enough, someone arrived on time in the Lower Realm to receive them.

But what was different was that the newcomers this time were no longer arrogant. Those who descended were not True Immortals, but rather a few junior Supreme Realm Cultivators.

"Looks like they're scared and dare not come…" Lin Fan chuckled, watching the respectful few who came to meet him.

"Holy Emperor, my father had a sudden urgent matter, so he specifically ordered us to come in his stead and escort you into the Immortal Gate," said a purple-haired youth.

It was obvious that the other party and the person from last time were father and son, with the same hair color and somewhat similar appearances.

However, the next moment, when the few learned that the person going to the Immortal Domain was not Lin Fan, their faces instantly fell, looking extremely troubled.

One must know that the Immortal Domain's high-ranking figures had specifically named and invited him, not a Human Dao Cultivator named Desolate.

"What, is it not acceptable for him to attend the feast in my place?" Lin Fan's eyes widened, a wisp of Immortal radiance flowing out.

"Bang!"

In an instant, cold sweat streamed down the few, who involuntarily trembled, knelt down, and shivered with fear.

At this moment, they finally understood why the True Immortal adult hadn't come before, but instead sent them to receive him.

"Father, how can you trick your son like this?" the purple-haired youth cried out in his heart, almost in tears.

Ultimately, after Lin Fan's 'reasoning,' the few were persuaded, and with long, troubled faces, they had no choice but to set off with Shi Hao.

"Not bad, you're more sensible than your elders. I won't make things difficult for you," Lin Fan smiled, watching them depart.

With one matter concluded, he could now focus on breaking through to the Immortal King Realm.

Over these years, he had remained a Mortal World Immortal, his Dao cultivation making almost no progress, as if he had reached a plateau with no further fluctuations.

"Reaching the Immortal Dao Realm truly feels like a chasm with every step!" Lin Fan sighed softly.

No wonder sometimes, an entire Great Realm, an entire epoch, might not see the birth of an Immortal King. Only by experiencing it firsthand does one know how difficult it is.

Of course, Lin Fan was confident that by slowly grinding through the years, he would one day enter that Domain and become an invincible Immortal King!

But would others give him that much time?

Not to mention the distant future, there were three old scoundrels in the Immortal Domain eyeing him: Ao Sheng, Taishi, and Yuanchu, all formidable enemies.

Therefore, he was worried. During such extraordinary times, he had to take extraordinary measures, finding a way to ascend rapidly.

Otherwise, when his enemies came knocking, they certainly wouldn't give him the chance to become an Immortal King; he would be mercilessly killed!

Even so, some things couldn't be rushed. For over a thousand years, Lin Fan had always been just short of the ultimate leap, failing to grasp the opportunity for a Breakthrough.

However, he knew that his own cultivation wasn't without benefit; he could perceive subtle changes, though they weren't obvious.

Furthermore, he was also waiting, having abandoned all techniques, all precious arts, cultivating only his own Dao, forging his own path.

Perhaps it could also be said that the peerless precious arts of True Phoenix, Kunpeng, Qilin, Willow God, and others had all been absorbed by him, becoming nourishment for his own Dao.

Supreme heavenly techniques like the Six Paths Reincarnation, Undying Scripture, and Original True Understanding were eventually integrated into his own system.

By taking the best from others and compensating for his own weaknesses, he truly walked his own path, his own method, no longer showing traces of others.

"Have I now reached the peak of Immortality?" Lin Fan asked himself, then shook his head.

He remembered that above the ninth generation of Mortal World Immortals, there was a tenth generation, which both Shi Hao and Chu Feng had reached.

As for Ye Fan, he wasn't sure.

And the tenth generation was extremely special, the peak of Immortality, already possessing Immortal King battle power.

However, it was very difficult to live out this generation, because the ninth generation was already immortal and indestructible, with infinite vitality, unlike before.

"Some conventional methods probably won't work anymore."

Lin Fan pondered deeply. He was preparing, waiting for a metamorphosis, the ultimate leap!

Although he knew it would be very difficult, even more perilous than a near-death experience, he had no choice now; he had to push himself.

"Resolve Mortal World affairs, then embark on the path of no return!"
