Chapter 292 The Secret Realm of Tian Sheng Mountain!
in the room.
Sun Wukong looked at Su Fan and smiled.
"Kid, not bad. You beat the young master of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion to the point of spitting blood."
Su Fan shook his head.
"He's too weak."
Sun Wukong raised an eyebrow.
"Too weak? The young master of the Myriad Swords Pavilion is one of the top 1,000 geniuses among the younger generation in the Outer Heavens. You're saying he's too weak?"
Su Fan shrugged.
"Compared to me, they are indeed weak."
Sun Wukong laughed.
"Okay. You're awesome."
It thought for a moment, then said seriously.
"However, you've offended the Myriad Swords Pavilion, and you're in for a lot of trouble. The Pavilion Master of the Myriad Swords Pavilion is at the peak of the Saint realm; if he really makes a move, you'll be in serious trouble."
Su Fan nodded.
"I know. So, next, I need to get stronger."
Sun Wukong looked at him.
"How do I become stronger?"
Su Fan thought for a moment.
"That young master just said that a secret realm in the Outer Heavens is about to open?"
Sun Wukong thought for a moment and nodded.
"Yes. There is an ancient secret realm in the Eastern Region, which is said to be the training ground of an ancient sage. There are many opportunities inside, and even treasures that can help people break through to the level of a sage."
Su Fan's eyes lit up.
"Where is that secret realm?"
Sun Wukong pointed to the east.
"Thirty thousand miles to the east, there is a mountain called Tiansheng Mountain. The secret realm is located deep within Tiansheng Mountain."
"However, every time that secret realm opens, it attracts geniuses from all the major forces in the Outer Heavens. People from the four major forces will go there, making the competition extremely fierce."
Su Fan smiled.
"Intense competition is good. How can we grab the treasures if it's not intense?"
Sun Wukong looked at him.
"You want to go?"
Su Fan nodded.
"Yes. I'm going to fight for it."
Sun Wukong thought for a moment.
"Alright. I'll go with you. Besides, my injuries have almost healed."
Su Fan shook his head.
"Great Sage, you should go back to Blue Star first. Your true form is here, but your divine shadow keeps disappearing, and Qingge and the others are worried."
Sun Wukong was stunned for a moment.
"So you're going alone?"
Su Fan smiled.
"What, are you afraid I'll die?"
Sun Wukong laughed too.
"Alright. Then I'll head back first and let that girl know I'm safe."
It stood up and patted Su Fan on the shoulder.
"Kid, come back alive."
Su Fan nodded.
"Don't worry. I'm tough."
……
three days later.
At the foot of Tiansheng Mountain.
Su Fan stood at the foot of the mountain, looking up at the towering peak that reached into the clouds.
At the mountain peak, shrouded in mist, a magnificent palace could be faintly seen.
That is where the secret realm is located.
At the foot of the mountain, countless people had already gathered.
Various races and factions, densely packed together, numbering at least tens of thousands.
Su Fan glanced around and found that the lowest cultivation level among these people was the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.
There are quite a few who are half-saints.
There were even a few individuals at the early stages of sainthood.
"Holy crap, so many people?"
Su Fan couldn't help but mutter to himself.
A fat man nearby heard what he said and came over.
"Brother, is this your first time participating in the secret realm competition?"
Su Fan turned his head and saw a round, fat man with a kind smile on his face.
The fat man continued, "The Heavenly Sacred Mountain Secret Realm opens once every hundred years. Each time it opens, it attracts geniuses from the entire Outer Heaven. People from the four major powers will come, along with hundreds of other forces, large and small."
"What's so special about tens of thousands of people? Once, 30,000 people came. That was truly spectacular."
Su Fan nodded.
"Thank you for your guidance, brother."
The fat man waved his hand.
"You're too kind. My name is Zhu Dachang, from the Zhu family of the Eastern Region. And you, brother?"
Su Fan thought for a moment.
"My name is Su Fan, and I come from Earth."
Zhu Dachang was taken aback.
"Blue Star? Never heard of it. Is it some small world?"
Su Fan nodded.
"Yes, a small world."
Zhu Dachang patted him on the shoulder.
"Coming from a small world, it's not easy to cultivate to the point of being a half-step saint. You'd better be careful in this secret realm competition. The geniuses from those major powers are ruthless; killing and robbing are common occurrences for them."
Su Fan smiled.
"Thanks for reminding me."
Zhu Dachang was about to say something when suddenly, a commotion arose from ahead.
"The people from the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion have arrived!"
The crowd automatically parted to make way.
A group of people dressed in white and carrying long swords walked through the crowd.
The leader was a young man with a cool and aloof demeanor.
Sword leaves no trace.
Young Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion.
Behind him followed a dozen or so disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, all of whom were late-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortals.
As Jian Wuhen walked past Su Fan, he paused.
He turned his head and saw Su Fan.
His face instantly turned ashen.
"It's you?!"
Su Fan smiled.
"It's me. We meet again."
Jian Wuhen gritted his teeth.
"You actually dare to participate in the secret realm competition?!"
Su Fan shrugged.
"What, do you own this secret realm? Can't I come?"
Jian Wuhen was so angry that he trembled all over.
"You wait! Once you enter the secret realm, I will kill you!"
Su Fan nodded.
"Okay. I'll wait."
Jian Wuhen snorted coldly and left with his men.
Zhu Dachang stared wide-eyed at the scene.
"Brother, do you know the young master of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion?"
Su Fan nodded.
"We fought once."
Zhu Dachang gasped.
"You fought him?! You fought him?! And what happened?!"
Su Fan thought for a moment.
He lost.
Zhu Dachang: "..."
The way he looked at Su Fan had completely changed.
"Brother, no, elder brother! From now on, you're my elder brother!"
Su Fan: "..."
Zhu Dachang was so excited that his face turned red.
"Big brother, do you know? Jian Wuhen is one of the top 1,000 geniuses among the younger generation of Tianwaitian, a Saint-level early stage cultivator, capable of challenging Saint-level mid-stage cultivators! You actually managed to defeat him?!"
Su Fan smiled.
"Good luck."
Zhu Dachang shook his head.
"This isn't luck, it's skill! Dude, you're awesome!"
Su Fan didn't speak, but just looked at the top of Tian Sheng Mountain.
There, the secret realm is about to open.
……
One hour later.
boom--!!!
A golden light suddenly burst forth from the summit of Tiansheng Mountain.
Golden light shot into the sky, reaching straight into the clouds.
The entire Tiansheng Mountain was shaking.
"The secret realm has opened!!!"
Countless people rushed frantically toward the mountaintop.
Su Fan followed the crowd and rushed upwards.
Zhu Dachang followed beside him, panting heavily.
"Big brother, wait for me!"
Su Fan slowed down and waited for him to catch up.
"You're running so slowly, and you still want to steal the treasure?"
Zhu Dachang gave a wry smile.
"My cultivation level is low, only at the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. I can't compare to those geniuses. I'm just going in to try my luck and pick up what others don't want."
Su Fan nodded.
"Okay. Follow me, and I guarantee you'll find some treasure."
Zhu Dachang's eyes lit up.
"real?!"
Su Fan smiled.
"real."
The two rushed into the golden light and disappeared into the secret realm.
A flash of white light appeared before his eyes, and Su Fan landed on his feet.
The surrounding area is a primeval forest, with trees towering into the clouds and branches blocking out the sun.
The spiritual energy in the air is even more concentrated than outside; taking a breath makes you feel refreshed.
"Is this the inside of the secret realm?" Zhu Dachang followed Su Fan, looking around. "It's huge!"
Su Fan didn't say anything, took out his phone and glanced at it; the signal was still there.
With the system's support, Su Fan can start a live stream no matter where he is.
Su Fan opened the live streaming app and clicked "Start Streaming".
Instantly, the image was transmitted to Earth.
……
Blue Star, Mount Tai's Fengshen Platform.
Lin Qingge was sitting in her room in a daze when her phone suddenly rang.
She picked it up and saw it was a notification from Su Fan's live stream.
"Su Fan has started streaming?!"
She quickly clicked on it.
In the scene, Su Fan is standing in a primeval forest, with a round, fat man beside him.
The number of viewers in the live stream skyrocketed.
"Holy crap! Su Fan's livestreaming!"
"Boss! Boss, where are you?"
"Is this the Outer Heavens? It looks amazing!"
"Who's that fat guy? His new henchman?"
Lin Qingge's eyes reddened as she typed on the screen.
Is it safe?
Su Fan smiled when he saw Lin Qingge's comment.
"Safe. Just entered the secret realm."
The live stream chat exploded instantly.
"My sister-in-law is here too!"
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, our eldest son is very resilient!"
"Boss, let us see what the Outer Heavens look like!"
Su Fan turned the phone camera around so that the viewers in the live stream could see the surrounding environment.
Towering trees, thick fog, and the distant roars of demonic beasts.
"This is the secret realm of the Outer Heavens, Tian Sheng Mountain," Su Fan said. "It is said to be the Daoist temple of an ancient sage, and there are treasures inside."
Zhu Dachang leaned closer, looking at the phone in Su Fan's hand with a curious expression.
"Brother, what's this? Is it a magical artifact?"
Su Fan glanced at him.
"A cell phone. Used for live streaming."
Zhu Dachang looked completely bewildered.
"Live streaming? What's live streaming?"
Su Fan was too lazy to explain.
You wouldn't understand even if I told you.
Zhu Dachang scratched his head and didn't ask any more questions.
In the live stream room, the chat was flooded with comments.
"This is hilarious! This fat guy doesn't even know about live streaming!"
"The natives of Tianwaitian have never seen high technology before!"
"Boss, hurry up and find the treasure! Steal it from him!"
"Yes! Rob them all!"
Su Fan put away his phone and said to Zhu Dachang.
"Let's go. Let's go inside."
The two walked deeper into the forest.
……
People could be seen everywhere in the forest.
They were all cultivators who came in search of treasure; some were in groups of three or five, while others acted alone.
Su Fan hadn't gone far when he suddenly heard the sounds of fighting ahead.
He stopped and looked up.
Not far away, a group of people were besieging a huge monster.
The monster was ten zhang tall, covered in scales, had three horns on its head, and breathed fire.
There were seven or eight people attacking it, led by a young woman dressed in red with a cold and beautiful appearance, holding a fiery red longsword.
"She's from the Fire Spirit Clan," Zhu Dachang whispered. "That woman is the Fire Spirit Clan's Holy Maiden, Fire Spirit'er, an early-stage Saint."
Su Fan nodded without saying a word.
Huo Ling'er slashed at the demon beast with her sword, leaving a deep wound.
The beast, in pain, went berserk and spewed a mouthful of flames at Huo Ling'er.
Huo Ling'er dodged the flames with a flash, and then swung her sword again.
The battle lasted for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before the monster finally fell.
Huo Ling'er sheathed her sword, and the Huo Ling Clan disciples behind her cheered.
"The Holy Maiden is mighty!"
"This demonic beast's inner core is worth at least 100,000 spirit stones!"
Huo Ling'er didn't speak, but turned to look at Su Fan.
She had already discovered Su Fan and Zhu Dachang.
"Have you seen enough?" Huo Ling'er said coldly.
Zhu Dachang's face turned pale, and he waved his hands repeatedly.
"Holy Maiden, you misunderstand. We were just passing by, just passing by..."
Huo Ling'er glanced at Su Fan, her gaze lingering on him for a second.
Half a saint.
From the small world?
She didn't say anything and left with her people.
Zhu Dachang breathed a sigh of relief.
"That scared me to death. The Fire Spirits have terrible tempers; if you mess with them, you're in trouble."
Su Fan smiled.
"What are you afraid of? She didn't lay a hand on me."
Zhu Dachang gave a wry smile.
"Big brother, you're not afraid. I am. I'm only at the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. Huo Ling'er could kill me with one slap."
Su Fan patted him on the shoulder.
"Follow me, and no one will dare to take your picture."
Zhu Dachang's eyes lit up.
"real?"
Su Fan ignored him and continued walking forward.
……
The live stream chat exploded again.
"That woman in red was so beautiful!"
"A Holy Maiden of the Fire Spirit Clan? Sounds pretty awesome!"
"Why doesn't the boss fight her?"
"Why are you fighting? They didn't provoke the boss."
"That's right, the boss is here to find treasure, not to fight."
"That fat guy is such a coward, hahaha!"
Su Fan walked while reading the comments on the screen.
He stopped when he reached an open space.
Ahead, a huge stone tablet appeared.
The stone tablet is hundreds of feet tall, entirely black, and covered with dense ancient characters.
The stone tablet was surrounded by a large crowd.
There were at least a hundred cultivators, divided into more than a dozen camps, each occupying a territory.
All eyes were fixed on the stone tablet.
Zhu Dachang came over.
"Brother, this is the first level of the secret realm. It is said that the stone tablet is inscribed with the legacy of ancient sages. Whoever can decipher the words on it will obtain a great opportunity."
Su Fan nodded and looked at the stone tablet.
He didn't recognize any of those classical Chinese texts.
But the Investiture of the Gods suddenly began to shake.
A golden light surged from Su Fan's body and shone on the stone tablet.
The ancient inscription on the stone tablet instantly transformed into a language he could understand.
"Those who are destined to come may enter the holy temple."
Those who are not destined for this, please leave immediately.
Su Fan raised an eyebrow.
Does the Investiture of the Gods have this function?
He was about to walk forward when someone suddenly stopped him.
"stop!"
A burly man clad in golden armor stood in front of Su Fan, exuding the aura of a peak Great Luo Golden Immortal.
"This is Golden Armor Sect territory. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to approach!"
Su Fan looked at him.
"Is this stone tablet yours?"
The burly man was taken aback.
"no……"
"Then what right do you have to stop me?"
The burly man choked.
A young man dressed in fine clothes walked out from the side and looked Su Fan up and down.
"Hey kid, do you know the rules? Don't you understand the first-come, first-served order?"
Su Fan smiled.
"First come, first served? This stone tablet is engraved here; whoever deciphers it first gets to keep it. Have you deciphered it?"
The young man in the fine clothes turned cold.
"You're asking for it!"
He raised his hand, and a golden light shot towards Su Fan.
Su Fan didn't move at all, and Cheng Yuan Sword was drawn.
One sword.
The golden light emanating from the elegantly dressed young man was instantly shattered.
The sword flashed incessantly, grazing his cheek and leaving a bloody mark on his face.
The young man in the elegant clothes was stunned.
He touched the blood on his face; his face was deathly pale.
"You...you dare to hurt me?!"
Su Fan looked at him.
"If you keep talking nonsense, the next sword strike won't just be a face wipe."
The young man in the fine clothes was trembling with anger, but he didn't dare to make another move.
The people around them were talking amongst themselves.
"Who's this kid? Why is he so arrogant?"
"I don't know. But those who dare to provoke the Golden Armor Sect are quite bold."
"Although the Golden Armor Sect cannot compare to the four major powers, it is not weak either. The sect leader is a mid-stage Saint."
"That kid's dead meat."
Su Fan ignored the comments and walked to the stone tablet.
He raised his hand and placed it on the stone tablet.
The golden light of the Investiture of the Gods surged into the stone tablet.
boom--!!!
The stone tablet trembled and burst forth with dazzling golden light.
Golden light shot into the sky, reaching straight into the clouds.
