Chapter 1201 - 1092: The Clue of Long Zixuan
The next morning at dawn.
The Fan Family, along with their company, had already entered Mount Kiongshou.
“This place is extremely dangerous, we must be careful…”
Fan Qingyun was very cautious.
Fan Yaoyao and Fan Paiming were also somewhat nervous, after all, they had a prominent figure with them yesterday, but today, if those Forbidden Beasts took action, it would be troublesome.
However, they hadn’t gone very far when they saw a terrifying Demon Crane flying away with a large grass nest in its beak, containing more than a dozen eggs!
A colorful Magic Fox was actually carrying a beastskin bag, leaving for other places, departing from its home!
…
These Forbidden Beasts weren’t bothered with giving the group any attention, busy fleeing the scene.
…
Seeing this, everyone had complicated expressions.
“They are scared…”
Fan Paiming couldn’t help but speak:
“Even these Forbidden Beasts are afraid of residing next to a big shot…”
To which Fan Qingyun and the others had even higher anticipation.
They moved on and soon enough, they finally saw the small mountain village.
“Great Ancestor, dad, this is that little mountain village.”
As they drew closer, they finally entered the small mountain village, and in that instant, Fan Changshou’s old eyes suddenly filled with excitement, he said in shock:
“This is… definitely the Pure Land of Life!”
“Do you feel it… Every gust of wind, every breath here holds the Supreme Forbidden Essence. If one cultivates in the Najin Realm here, what a solid foundation it would be?!”
Having said that, he took great gulps of the village’s air!
Fan Qingyun was also excited, hastily using his hands to fan the village air into his mouth!
Fan Yaoyao said meekly:
“Brother, I feel like Great Ancestor and the others are behaving oddly… Is the wind really so miraculous…”
Fan Paiming had a complex expression and did not speak.
But Fan Changshou glared and said:
“You still have the nerve to ask, having eaten sour soup rice, do you realize how fortunate that was? Now naturally, you would not think much of this wind. But have you thought about it? Your Great Ancestor, I, only had some of the honey you left behind!”
As he mentioned it, he was fuming with annoyance.
Fan Yaoyao and Fan Paiming: “…”
While gulping down gusts of wind and moving forward, suddenly he felt something, he looked down, and was instantly astounded.
“Supreme Holy Soil, Supreme Holy Soil!”
He couldn’t help but kneel down, trembling, he held a handful of mud from the ground, and said:
“If back then, my ancestor had been able to obtain a soil like this, he might not have failed to reach today…”
He said excitedly:
“Paiming, Yaoyao, now that you are in the Fuyao Realm, if there is a chance, you must ask for a few clumps of this village soil from that senior!”
“A few clumps of soil could let you run unhindered in the Breath Soil Realm, and even reaching the legendary Ten Thousand Li stage is not impossible!”
Hearing this, Fan Qingyun and the others were extremely shocked.
The Breath Soil Realm stages: Flying Sand, Solid Earth, Build Ground, Ten Li, Hundred Li, Thousand Li, Ten Thousand Li.
Those of the Ten Thousand Li stage are required to construct Daoist Scenery about Ten Thousand Li in size within the Dao Scenery Void Land, but this level is only attainable by the core prodigies of the Imperial Court!
“So to say… This place indeed compares to the Pure Lands created by the Great Emperor?”
Fan Qingyun was a bit stunned.
He had heard that within the Pure Lands created by the Great Emperor, any handful of soil can be infused into the Land of Nothingness, which is why the Imperial Courts are so powerful and individuals of the Breath Soil level are considered inconsequential.
But it is extremely difficult out in the wider world.
Now, this little mountain village was comparable to the Imperial Court…
If word got out, the whole world would tremble.
Fan Qingyun looked at the soil on the ground and started to drool, quickly wiping his mouth and saying:
“Great Ancestor, may I, may I give it a try?”
He was coveting this soil.
But Fan Changshou who was usually casual, was now gravely serious and scolded:
“What nonsensical things are you talking about? Such precious soil, you think you can eat it whenever you want? Do you think you’re at home?”
“Let’s go, we must first pay a visit to the senior. This soil is too valuable; it’s utterly forbidden to take it without permission, or if Senior Li blames us, we’d be finished.”
They continued forward.
“This… This water in the ditch, it smells like the Taiyi Holy Water from the Water Emperor’s Pure Land?!”
“These grasses… obtaining one would ensure a trouble-free path in the Life Wood Realm, planting it in the Path-Scenic Land, that would be an enormous fortune!”
Along the way, they were continually amazed. Fan Changshou had survived many long years and was knowledgeable about many ancestral pieces of wisdom, therefore, he recognized some extraordinary things.
This made Fan Yaoyao and Fan Paiming sweat as they walked.
This village was terrifying…
…
Meanwhile, in the small courtyard.
Early in the morning, just after Li Fan had finished washing up, there was already a knock at the door.
Gong Ya opened the door to find that it was Second Elder.
“Little Li, come on, let’s have a game with Second Elder!”
Second Elder spoke to Li Fan.
－－In the past few days, while Li Fan was away, he racked his brains trying to find a way to defeat Li Fan. Now that Li Fan has finally returned, he couldn’t wait any longer and thus came to challenge him to a decisive battle.
Li Fan smiled and said,
“Okay.”
Thereupon, he and Second Elder set up a chessboard and started playing.
“Little Li, you see, if your general steps out, I would indeed have to retreat.”
“But, if you think you can win against me like this, it’s still very difficult… At most, I won’t dare to capture your other pieces, but your pieces won’t be able to cross this Chu River Han Border either.”
Second Elder’s breakthrough from the past few days is now revealing a significant transformation in the chess game.
“To break through the game… I think you still have to follow the old ways, unless someone can replace your general’s position and constrain my king…”
As Second Elder spoke, Li Fan gave a smile and said,
“Second Elder, a general is a general; he is irreplaceable.”
Second Elder pondered and asked,
“Then what will you do?”
Just as Li Fan was about to speak, he heard a voice from outside:
“May I ask… is Senior Li at home?”
It was Fan Yaoyao’s voice.
Li Fan immediately put down the chess pieces and said,
“Yes, please come in.”
Outside, Fan Yaoyao and others immediately pushed the door and entered.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, Fan Changshou instinctively glanced at the ground.
Instantly, he felt his breathing become rapid; the soil here… seemed even stronger than in the village.
What level is it?
He couldn’t tell at all, but it was definitely extremely, extremely terrifying.
And the air here…
Was simply all sourced from taboos!
At this moment, he had regrets. When he was outside, he had breathed too much wind, and his Daoist Scenery land was overburdened!
Mainly because, a gust of wind from the small village, once it entered his Daoist Scenery land, had turned into a tornado, making him feel overwhelmed.
“Ancestor… that, that is…”
Fan Qingyun was shivering as he looked toward… that cat in Li Fan’s arms!
That cat, it really resembled the white tiger from one of their ancestral paintings…
Too similar!
Raising a Divine Beast as a cat?
This, this must be that big shot!
“We pay our respects to Senior Li!”
Suddenly, Fan Changshou and others immediately prostrated themselves!
Li Fan said:
“Please, there’s no need for formalities, rise.”
Immediately, everyone felt an indescribable force that helped them stand up.
“Words followed by effects… This Senior must be incredibly terrifying.”
Fan Changshou was even more shocked.
“Who are these two?”
Li Fan looked at them.
Fan Paiming promptly introduced:
“To report to Senior, this is my great-great-great-grandfather… Fan Changshou; this here is my father, Fan Qingyun.”
Upon hearing this, Li Fan was shocked. Great-great-great-grandfather?
That… is quite the longevity.
“Old sir… Quite the long life!”
He couldn’t help but express his admiration and asked:
“What brings you here, if I may ask?”
Fan Changshou immediately replied with gravity:
“To report to Senior… we have found traces of one of your disciples.”
Upon hearing that, Li Fan was immediately intrigued. So soon?!
“Which one?” he immediately asked.
Fan Changshou said:
“The one who rears fish!”
－－Throughout the journey, Fan Yaoyao and Fan Paiming had both said that this supreme expert enjoys playing roles, so, they had to play along with him.
To this Senior, the founder of the Kunpeng Method… was in fact, just rearing fish…
Thus, Fan Changshou described it that way.
Upon hearing that, Li Fan was immediately delighted. Long Zixuan, ah!
…
Good night.
