Martial Universe: Invincible through lottery, with godlike comprehension from the start.

But there's nothing we can do; the Desolate Palace is currently the weakest.

The thought of Lin Fan, such a rare talent, being snatched away by someone else filled Wu Dao with a sense of unease.

"Hehe, this Lin Fan is not bad, he's come to my Heavenly Palace." Just as Wu Dao expected, after staring at Lin Fan for a while, Wei Sen waved his hand and said with a smile.

The deputy hall masters of the Earth Hall and the Flood Hall, standing to the side, curled their lips, clearly feeling a bit regretful that such a promising talent was going to fall into the hands of the Heaven Hall again.

Wu Dao's face was grim, and he could only reluctantly wave his sleeve and run away. Helplessly, he said to Lin Fan, "Among the four palaces, the Heavenly Palace is the strongest now. If you want, go to the Heavenly Palace."

Lin Fan's eyes flickered slightly, and he clasped his hands in a fist salute to Wei Sen, saying, "I am grateful for the Vice Hall Master's kindness, but I would like to join the Desolate Hall."

Upon hearing Lin Fan's voice, everyone on the bluestone platform froze in surprise.

"Lin Fan...you?" Even Wu Dao was astonished by Lin Fan's words.

On the entire bluestone platform, only Lin Dong, Xiao Diao, and Xiao Yan remained calm.

The astonishment on the face of the Deputy Hall Master Wei Sen gradually faded, and then he frowned and said, "Lin Fan, you have great talent, but don't ruin your future."

"While I don't mean to look down on the Desolate Palace, I dare to tell you that only in the Heavenly Palace can you achieve the greatest improvement."

Lin Fan's expression was firm as he calmly said, "Although the Heavenly Palace is the strongest, I feel that the Desolate Palace is more suitable for me!"

Wu Dao was somewhat taken aback by Lin Fan's statement. When did their Desolate Palace become so kind?

Wei Sen frowned and stared at Lin Fan for a while. After a long while, he shook his head and said, "Since this is your own choice, then I, the Palace Master, will not say much. I just hope you will take care of yourself."

"You're far too selfish..."

Just then, a clear and melodious voice suddenly rang out.

Lin Fan looked up and saw Ying Huanhuan staring at him with slightly furrowed brows.

"How am I selfish?" Lin Fan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is choosing a suitable place for cultivation selfish?"

"You have good talent. Joining the Heavenly Palace will naturally maximize your potential. Your growing strength will also be a good thing for the sect," Ying Huanhuan said, staring at Lin Fan in a clear voice.

"But now you've abandoned that path, which, in a way, weakens the sect's power. Isn't that selfish?"

Lin Fan smiled calmly and said, "How do you know that my joining the Desolate Palace will weaken the sect's strength? Perhaps it will actually make the sect stronger!"

"After all, among the four great scriptures of the Dao Sect, the Great Desolation Scripture of the Desolate Palace is stronger than the Heavenly Emperor Scripture of the Heavenly Palace."

Lin Fan's words surprised everyone present, and then they suddenly realized what he meant.

It turns out that Lin Fan was after the Great Wilderness Scripture.

But isn't this kid too arrogant?

The Great Desolation Scripture is the most mysterious and unpredictable martial art among the Four Great Scriptures. Since its establishment, the number of geniuses who have been able to comprehend it is no more than ten. How dare Lin Fan say such a thing?

Ying Huanhuan was clearly taken aback by Lin Fan's words. A slight smile appeared on her lips as she extended her slender hand, pointing her long, delicate fingers at Lin Fan. Her red lips parted slightly as she said, "Arrogant and self-righteous!"

"I know the Great Desolation Scripture is very difficult to comprehend, but just because the rest of you cannot comprehend it doesn't mean I, Lin Fan, cannot! As for success or failure, let's wait and see what happens in the future, shall we?"

Lin Fan's gaze lingered for a moment on that jade-like hand, then he smiled faintly and said.

Ying Huanhuan sneered and said, "You really are arrogant and conceited. Don't say I look down on you. Since you want me to wait and see, then fine, I, Ying Huanhuan, will wait and see."

"If you can comprehend the Great Desolation Scripture, I will do anything for you; however, if you cannot comprehend it, I'm afraid many disciples of the Heavenly Palace will come to you, my junior brother, for sparring and exchange."

"It's alright. Even if I comprehend the Great Desolation Scripture, they can still come and challenge me to a duel," Lin Fan said with a smile.

"Hmph," Ying Huanhuan could only let out a soft hum, her big eyes showing some annoyance.

She, who is usually quick-witted, was actually silenced by Lin Fan today, which made her quite unhappy.

"Since you're so ambitious and have your eye on the Great Desolation Scripture, then I, the Palace Master, will say no more. If you can truly comprehend it, I think the entire Dao Sect would be happy to see it. However, sometimes, one must act according to one's ability."

Wei Sen glanced at Lin Fan and said calmly, then turned to the other disciples selected from the Hundred Dynasties War, "Are there any others who also want to voluntarily join the Desolate Palace?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong, Xiao Diao, and Xiao Yan didn't waste any words and immediately stood beside Lin Fan.

After a slight hesitation, Liu Bai, Mo Ling, and their group followed.

Seeing this, Wei Sen said nothing, and with a wave of his sleeve, selected a group of disciples with outstanding talent.

Then the deputy hall masters of the Earth Hall and the Flood Hall also took action, dividing up the remaining talented individuals.

In the end, those who remained were the relatively less talented.

After the disciples were selected, Wei Sen and the others exchanged a few polite words and then left with their chosen disciples.

"Kid Lin Fan, remember what you said. I'm waiting for you to open my eyes. But before that, you should first obtain the qualification to comprehend the Great Desolation Scripture."

Ying Huanhuan waved her hand at Lin Fan with schadenfreude, then moved her delicate body and followed him.

After the people from the other three halls left, Wu Dao gleefully told Lin Fan that Ying Huanhuan had an older sister who was the senior sister of the Heavenly Hall.

Lin Fan, however, didn't care at all, not even blinking.

Upon seeing this, Wu Dao was somewhat impressed.

"Within the desolate hall, there are three thousand disciples, including three hundred personal disciples, each of whom is an outstanding individual selected from among thousands..."

After Wu Dao led Lin Fan and the others into the Desolate Palace, he introduced them to the situation of the Desolate Palace.

"Vice Hall Master, having said so much, shouldn't we talk about the perks for the champion of the Hundred Dynasties War?"

After Wudao finished his introduction, Lin Fan rubbed his hands together and said to Wudao.

Upon hearing Lin Fan's words, Wu Dao's expression faltered slightly, and he said irritably, "Don't worry, I won't forget. However, if Lin Dong wants to enjoy this benefit, he'll probably have to wait until next year."

"Hmm? Why is that?" Lin Fan frowned slightly upon hearing this.

Wu Dao calmly said, "The reward for winning the Hundred Dynasties War is the benefit you mentioned, which is the Danhe Initiation."

"Each of the four main halls of the Dao Sect has a Dan River. Every year, the Dan River will generate some extremely pure Nirvana Qi, which we call Nirvana Golden Qi."

"The so-called Danhe Initiation is when the Palace Master and I personally use Nirvana Golden Qi to temper the disciple's body and internal energy. The amount of Nirvana Golden Qi generated each year is limited."

After listening to Wu Dao's words, Lin Fan realized that it seemed to be true.

However, if Lin Dong were to postpone the Danhe Initiation for another year, it would be too late.

After a long pause, Lin Fan's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "Then I will go to other halls to perform the Danhe Initiation."

Wu Dao rolled his eyes and said irritably, "Now that you're a disciple of the Desolate Hall, how could the other three halls possibly agree to let you undergo the Dan River Initiation?"

Lin Fan smiled faintly and said, "What if I knew the reason for the Great Desolation Stele's silence?"

"You each secure an opportunity for Danhe Initiation for both me and Lin Dong, and I will tell you why the Great Desolate Stele has fallen silent. As for how to negotiate with the other three major halls, that depends on the Vice Hall Master's abilities."

"What did you say?" Wu Dao was startled upon hearing this.

Lin Fan said, "The Vice Hall Master did not mishear, but this matter is of great importance, and the fewer people who know about it, the better. After Lin Dong and I finish the Danhe Initiation, we will naturally tell the Vice Hall Master the inside story."

"As long as that problem can be solved, the difficulty for Dao Sect disciples to comprehend the Great Desolation Scripture will be greatly reduced in the future."

Wu Dao asked with some doubt, "How do I know if what you're saying is true or false? And how did you find out?"

"As the Vice Hall Master should know, I obtained the inheritance of the Vermilion Bird Hall, one of the Four Profound Sects, in the ancient secret treasure. In fact, it should be the inheritance of the Vermilion Bird King," Lin Fan said with a faint smile, without directly answering Wu Dao's question.

"So, you learned about this from the Vermilion Bird King?" Upon hearing this, Wu Dao couldn't help but believe him a little.

Lin Fan smiled without saying a word, neither admitting nor denying.

After pondering for a while, Wu Dao said, "I will discuss this matter with the Palace Master. You should rest in the desolate palace for a while."

"Then I'll await good news," Lin Fan said with a slight smile.

Wu Dao didn't say anything. He led Lin Fan and the others into the Desolate Hall and asked the senior disciples of the Desolate Hall to arrange accommodations for them. Then he went to find the Hall Master of the Desolate Hall, Chen Zhen.

After settling into a small courtyard in the desolate palace, Lin Fan said to Lin Dong, "You should be undergoing your fourth Nirvana Tribulation soon, right? Also, the Wind and Thunder Tribulation seems to be coming up soon too, doesn't it?"

Lin Dong scratched his head and said, "As expected, I couldn't hide it from Brother Lin Fan."

"Let's go through a tribulation first," Lin Fan said with a smile. "You can go through the Nirvana Tribulation first, and as for the Wind and Thunder Tribulation, you can save that for later."

"Before the Danhe Initiation, some senior disciples will likely cause trouble. You can use that opportunity to intimidate them."

"I understand," Lin Dong nodded slightly, then continued, "Also, thank you, Brother Lin Fan. If it weren't for your efforts, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to receive the Danhe Initiation."

Lin Fan patted Lin Dong on the shoulder and chuckled, "We're brothers, no need to be so polite."

[Ding! You touched Lin Dong and obtained one Desolate Bead!]

A Barren Pearl, huh? Not a bad reward!

Hearing the system's reward voice in his mind, Lin Fan couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

The Desolate Pearl was originally formed by the spirit of the Great Desolate Stele condensing the power of desolation, and contains a vast amount of desolate power.

In the original novel, Lin Dong used the Desolate Pearl to break through the defense created by 540 disciples of the Yuan Sect, demonstrating its formidable power!

Next, Lin Fan began to undergo his sixth tribulation of wind and thunder, while Lin Dong underwent his fourth tribulation of nirvana.

Little Mink and Little Flame naturally stood by to protect them.

The two immediately began their tribulation upon entering the Desolate Hall, attracting much attention and discussion among the disciples and becoming celebrities among them.

Especially Lin Fan, the champion of the Hundred Dynasties Battle at the Seventh Nirvana Realm, made the entire Desolate Palace boil over!

……

While Lin Fan and Lin Dong were undergoing their tribulations, towering mountains, some tens of thousands of feet high, stood in the east of the Dao Sect.

The atmosphere here is even stronger than that of the desolate palace.

This is the Heavenly Palace, the foremost of the four palaces of the Daoist sect!

Above the mountains surrounding the Heavenly Palace, there also hangs a Dan River, which is even larger than the one in the Desolate Palace. It seems to stretch as far as the eye can see.

All one could feel was the incredibly dense aura of Nirvana emanating from the Dan River, causing the space itself to distort.

On the Dan River, there are many floating platforms, and on these platforms, numerous disciples are cultivating with their eyes closed.

These platforms are scattered around the Dan River, but the closer to the center of the Dan River, the fewer the number of platforms there are, and the fewer disciples there are on them.

call out!

A whooshing sound suddenly rang out above the Dan River, accompanied by the faint, clear sounds of musical instruments colliding, like heavenly music. Many disciples opened their eyes and stared at the graceful figure that swept across the sky, their eyes filled with a sense of rapture.

The graceful figure in the sky paid no heed and plunged directly into the deepest part of the Dan River, landing gracefully on the last platform.
