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

Ying Huanhuan hesitated for a moment, then followed closely behind.

Lin Fan glanced in the direction where Ying Xiaoxiao and Ying Huanhuan had left, and his brows twitched slightly.

In the sky, the golden light surging around Lin Fan gradually subsided, and then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he gracefully landed on the vast platform by the Dan River.

Congratulations to Junior Brother Lin Fan on successfully overcoming his tribulation!

When Cheng Xuan saw Lin Fan land, he smiled and congratulated Lin Fan.

"Thank you," Lin Fan said with a smile.

At this moment, Qi Lei and Wei Sen also landed in front of Lin Fan.

"Very good, I'm actually looking forward to your performance next," Qi Lei said with a light laugh as he looked at Lin Fan.

Wei Sen gave Lin Fan a complicated look but said nothing.

Lin Fan cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Palace Master Qi Lei."

Qi Lei smiled and said, "I'll take you back."

After saying that, Qi Lei waved his sleeve, and an invisible force of energy was released, carrying Lin Fan and flying towards the direction of the Desolate Palace.

The disciples of the Heavenly Palace watched Lin Fan's departing figure with rather complicated expressions.

Wei Sen said calmly, "Go back and cultivate. As the head of the four palaces, if you lose to the disciples of the Desolate Palace during the palace competition, it will be a bit embarrassing for you."

Upon hearing Wei Sen's words, the expressions of all the Heavenly Palace disciples changed, and they immediately became highly motivated and went back to cultivate with all their might.

Wei Sen watched this scene and a faint smile appeared on his face.

Using Lin Fan to motivate the Heavenly Palace disciples to cultivate seems like a good idea.

……

Meanwhile, Qi Lei, with Lin Fan in tow, quickly returned to the Desolate Palace.

Above the desolate palace and the Dan River, Chen Zhen and Wu Dao also took the initiative to greet them.

"I never expected that you could absorb all the Nirvana Golden Qi from the Heavenly Palace Dan River, and in just ten days. This achievement surpasses even that of Senior Brother Zhou Tong back then. You're truly an unexpected fellow!"

Wu Dao looked at Lin Fan and said with some emotion.

Chen Zhen's gaze toward Lin Fan was also full of admiration.

Qi Lei glanced at the Dan River below and said with some envy, "Your Desolate Palace has taken in two promising talents this year."

"Not only Lin Fan was unexpected, but his brother Lin Dong also seems to be absorbing all of the Nirvana Golden Qi."

Chen Zhen smiled and said, "This time, I must thank Palace Master Qi Lei."

Qi Lei said calmly, "Once the problem with the Great Desolate Monument is resolved, just don't forget the conditions you promised."

Chen Zhen said, "Of course not."

"Alright, I'm going back now," Qi Lei glanced at Lin Fan again, then flashed away and headed back to the Heavenly Palace.

"Hehe, not bad this time, right?" Wu Dao looked at Lin Fan and said with a smile.

Lin Fan nodded and said, "Not bad, my cultivation level has increased by one level."

Chen Zhen looked at Lin Fan, his tone somewhat amazed: "The Eighth Yuan Nirvana Realm, none of my four personal disciples from the Desolate Palace have reached it yet."

"With your current achievements, although you are still relatively inexperienced, you are qualified to become a senior disciple."

Wu Dao smiled and said, "Those four little ones, even if they're unhappy, I'm afraid they won't dare to object."

Lin Fan's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this. He understood that the four little ones Wu Dao mentioned should be the four direct disciples of the Desolate Palace.

Becoming a direct disciple brings him one step closer to gaining the qualification to comprehend the Great Desolation Scripture.

With these thoughts in mind, Lin Fan cupped his hands in a salute to the two of them and said, "Thank you, Palace Masters."

Wu Dao smiled and said, "Now, can you talk about the Great Desolate Stele?"

Lin Fan pondered for a moment and said, "This matter is of great importance. It is enough for the two hall masters and the sect leader to know. Even the hall masters of the other three halls should keep it a secret for the time being."

Upon hearing this, both Chen Zhen and Wu Dao were slightly startled.

Chen Zhen thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait and see. After Lin Dong comes out, we'll go to meet the sect leader together."

Lin Fan didn't care about this, and Wu Dao also had no objection.

"Second Palace Master, I'll take my leave now," Lin Fan said after a moment's thought, bowing to Chen Zhen and Wu Dao.

"Yes, go ahead," Chen Zhen nodded slightly and said.

Lin Fan bowed to the two of them again, then moved slightly and flew towards a platform beside the Dan River.

"What do you think this kid is talking about?" Wu Dao frowned and asked Chen Zhen as he watched Lin Fan leave.

Chen Zhen shook his head and said, "I don't know either. Anyway, there's no rush. Let's wait and see."

Upon hearing this, Wu Dao nodded slightly, said nothing more, and continued to look down at the Dan River.

At that moment, Lin Fan had just landed on a platform beside the Dan River when Mo Ling and his group immediately came to greet him, their faces beaming with joy.

Congratulations, Brother Lin Fan, on your great improvement in strength!

Hearing the congratulations from Mo Ling and the others, Lin Fan smiled and glanced around, only to find that Xiao Diao and Xiao Yan were missing.

"Where are Little Mink and Little Flame?" Although he had some guesses, Lin Fan still asked.

"Brother Lin Diao and his brother left the Dao Sect four days ago. Before they left, they instructed me to give this to you and Lin Dong."

As Mo Ling spoke, he stretched out his palm, and in his palm was a wandering golden light. From that golden light, Lin Fan could sense a trace of demonic aura.

Lin Fan was not surprised by this and calmly took the golden light from Mo Ling's hand.

Lin Fan pondered for a moment, then sealed it away for the time being, intending to let Lin Dong examine it when he came out.

Anyway, Lin Fan basically understood the contents of it.

In addition, Lin Fan had no use for the little sable's demonic spirit, so he decided to give it to Lin Dong.

Another day passed in the blink of an eye, and Lin Dong successfully broke out of the Dan River and survived his fifth Nirvana Tribulation!

Lin Fan relayed the message left by the little sable to Lin Dong, briefly discussed the little sable's situation, and then, together with Chen Zhen and Wu Dao, headed deeper into the Dao Sect.

Chapter 222 Ying Xuanzi's shock prompted the use of the Earth Core Divine Saliva! [Please continue reading]

Led by Chen Zhen and Wu Dao, the three of them soon arrived in front of a magnificent palace.

"Don't try anything funny when you see the sect leader," Wu Dao suddenly reminded Lin Fan as the three landed at the entrance of the main hall.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "This disciple has always been sincere."

Upon hearing this, Wu Dao couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Chen Zhen chuckled and said, "Let's go in."

Having said that, Chen Zhen pushed open the palace gate and entered first.

Lin Fan and Wu Dao followed closely behind.

Inside the main hall, which was not resplendent with gold and jade, Lin Fan followed Chen Zhen and Wu Dao inside and saw a small path of broken stones leading to the end.

On both sides of the path, there are clear pools of water, with a faint mist swirling around them. Occasionally, the surface of the water ripples, as if something has passed by.

The three walked along the path until they finally stopped.

At this moment, the view expands, and the pool has transformed into a lake.

In the center of the lake, a green lotus leaf floated, and on that lotus leaf, a figure sat like an old monk, exuding an aura of tranquility that seemed to solidify and refine even the space around them.

Lin Fan's gaze sharpened slightly the moment he saw the figure on the lotus leaf.

Although the other person looked like an ordinary middle-aged man, Lin Fan felt an invisible pressure.

"Greetings, Sect Leader!"

Upon seeing the figure, Chenzhen and Wudao bowed and spoke.

"Disciple Lin Fan greets the Sect Leader," Lin Fan bowed slightly and paid his respects to the figure on the lotus leaf.

The figure on the lotus leaf slowly opened its slightly closed eyes, and those eyes seemed to contain the sun and moon.

The moment he opened his eyes, Lin Fan felt a momentary lapse in his senses.

A figure rose from the lotus leaves and then walked across the lake.

A moment later, they arrived in front of Lin Fan and the other two.

At this moment, Lin Fan also got a clear look at the appearance of Ying Xuanzi, the leader of the Dao Sect.

Wearing cloth shoes and a simple, well-fitting white shirt, he appeared to be a middle-aged man in his forties, with a gentle and refined face.

On his face was a gentle smile, a smile as vast as the stars and the sea, which seemed to calm any panicked heart.

"Little one, I heard you know why the Great Wasteland Monument has fallen silent?"

Ying Xuanzi smiled and looked at Lin Fan calmly.

Lin Fan nodded and said, "I do know that it's not that the Great Desolate Stele wants to go silent, but that the Great Desolate Stele itself is currently in a difficult situation."

Chen Zhen and Wu Dao were both slightly startled upon hearing this.

"Oh? What do you mean by that?" Upon hearing this, Ying Xuanzi's usually calm face showed a slight ripple.

Lin Fan asked, "Have the Sect Leader and the two Palace Masters ever heard of the Great War of Heaven and Earth?"

Chen Zhen and Wu Dao were both somewhat bewildered upon hearing this, but Ying Xuanzi was startled and his expression turned serious. "You learned about the Great War of Heaven and Earth from the inheritance of the Vermilion Bird King?"

Although Ying Xuanzi had not experienced it, as the head of the Daoist sect, he naturally knew more than the average person.

“That’s right,” Lin Fan nodded slightly, then continued, “The Great Desolate Stele is one of the top three ancient divine artifacts, and it also participated in the great war between heaven and earth in ancient times…”

Lin Fan didn't beat around the bush and simply explained the situation of the Great Desolate Monument to the three of them.

Finally, Lin Fan warned, "The demon that was suppressed by the Great Desolate Stele is constantly eroding the seal. Once it breaks free, the entire Dao Sect may be in danger of destruction!"

Upon hearing this, both Chen Zhen and Wu Dao's expressions changed drastically.

Ying Xuanzi's expression also appeared somewhat solemn, but he did not lose his composure.

"Lin Fan, are you serious? Don't exaggerate in front of the sect leader," Wu Dao said to Lin Fan, his expression changing.
