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

As the black lines coiled, bursts of devouring power erupted.

Then, the Earth Core Spirit Essence in Lin Fan's hand suddenly burst forth with a vast and pure energy, which then poured into Lin Fan's body.

As that immense energy surged in, Lin Fan's aura also began to rise steadily...

Silence filled the crimson square.

Two young figures, eyes closed, were fully engaged in their cultivation. Only the occasional faint rumble of Yuan energy emanating from their bodies echoed quietly in the plaza.

……

Around the lake, tents stood, with figures moving about and faint sounds of lively activity emanating from them.

These figures are naturally the Gu family guards stationed here.

Now, on this Xuanling Island, with the conclusion of the competition for the Sheng Sheng Xuanling Fruit, the original clamor has quickly faded away.

In the following days, all parties gradually withdrew, except for the Gu family, who did not leave for the time being because they had to guard Gu Yan's cultivation.

Behind the camp, on a huge blue stone, Gu Yan sat cross-legged, with faint, powerful fluctuations of Yuan energy constantly emanating from her body.

Around the bluestone, many members of the Gu family kept a close eye on this area, occasionally whispering among themselves.

"The Yuan energy fluctuations within Sister Gu Yan's body are getting stronger and stronger. It shouldn't be long before she breaks through to the Life Profound Realm!"

A member of the Gu family looked at Gu Yan, who was cultivating, with some envy and said.

"Hehe, if Sister Gu Yan can break through to the Lesser Completion of the Life Profound Realm, then our Gu family's chances of winning this martial arts competition will be much higher."

Another member of the Gu family also chimed in with a smile.

Immediately, the other members of the Gu family also began to discuss it in hushed tones.

Time passed quietly in the stillness.

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

During this month, Lin Fan and Lin Dong showed no signs of emerging from the bottom of the lake, which aroused some doubt among the Gu family disciples, but no one dared to go down and investigate.

Fortunately, to their delight, Gu Yan's cultivation finally came to an end when January arrived.

Rumble!

Waves of immense, almost tangible, Yuan energy surged wildly from Gu Yan's body, who was sitting cross-legged on the bluestone.

The oppressive force of that Yuan energy was gradually increasing, forcing the Gu family disciples to retreat repeatedly.

This oppressive aura lasted for several minutes before the surging Yuan energy suddenly receded back into Gu Yan's body at an astonishing speed.

As the Yuan energy receded, a sound like thunder could be faintly heard.

All the previous commotion came to an abrupt end at this moment, but this eerie silence lasted only a few seconds before Gu Yan suddenly opened her eyes, which had been closed for a month.

Bang!

The moment he opened his eyes, an exceptionally powerful aura erupted from his body.

Gu Yan stood up, and an undisguised look of joy appeared on her cold and beautiful face.

"Congratulations, Sister Gu Yan!" The Gu family disciples around quickly gathered around, their faces beaming with joy as they clasped their hands in congratulations.

Gu Yan was in a very good mood at this moment, and a smile appeared on her usually somewhat indifferent face. She nodded slightly, then turned her gaze to the lake and asked with some surprise, "They haven't come out yet?"

"No, Sister Gu Yan, do you want to go down and take a look?" someone from the Gu family asked.

"Wait a minute. With their combined strength, nothing unexpected is likely to happen. If they have a plan, it would be inappropriate for me to go down and disturb them."

Gu Yan pondered for a moment, then shook her head and asked, "Has anything happened during this time?"

“Yes, we have received a message from the Gu family, but it still needs Sister Gu Yan to activate it,” a member of the Gu family said, and then presented a blood-red jade piece.

Gu Yan nodded slightly, took the blood jade, and with a thought, read the information within. Her face quickly turned angry and cold.

"Sister Gu Yan, what happened?" Upon seeing this, the Gu family member's expression changed immediately, and he asked cautiously.

Chapter 311 Emerging from Seclusion, Gu Yan's Request! [Please Read On]

"Brother Yuntian has been severely injured..." Gu Yan's icy voice was filled with barely concealed anger.

"what?"

"Brother Yuntian was actually seriously injured? He has the strength to break through to the Great Perfection of the Life Profound Realm!"

"Who on earth did this?"

"..."

As soon as Gu Yan finished speaking, the group of Gu family disciples were in an uproar, exclaiming in surprise with grim expressions.

"It must have been the Wei family who did it," Gu Yanyu guessed, her hands clenched tightly.

Among the five major families, the relationship between the Gu family and the Wei family is the worst.

"These despicable bastards! If Brother Yuntian is seriously injured, our Gu Family Martial Arts Association will lose a powerful figure. The Wei family must have done this on purpose!"

The Gu family disciples were furious.

Gu Yan frowned and murmured, "If Brother Yun Tian is unable to participate, our Gu family will definitely struggle to achieve any results in the martial arts competition..."

“Sister Gu Yan, each family in the martial arts tournament can invite one outside helper, but our Gu family hasn’t invited one yet…” a member of the Gu family said hesitantly.

"In less than a month, the martial arts tournament will begin. I'm afraid there won't be enough time to find a trustworthy and powerful external aid."

Gu Yan shook her head slightly, then paused midway through her sentence, her gaze turning to the calm lake.

Not only Gu Yan, but all the other members of the Gu family also looked towards the lake, their thoughts self-evident.

“Lin Fan is a good candidate. Perhaps we can give him a try. I just don’t know if we can win him over…” Gu Yan’s heart stirred slightly as she looked at the calm lake and murmured.

The members of the Gu family also silently looked towards the lake, waiting for Lin Fan and Lin Dong to come out.

Another half month passed in this wait.

It has been a month and a half since Lin Fan and Lin Dong entered the bottom of the lake.

During this time, however, there was not a sound from the lake.

"Sister Gu Yan, it's been a month and a half already, why haven't they come out yet? If we wait any longer, I'm afraid we won't make it to Martial Arts Island in time!"

A member of the Gu family frowned as he looked at the calm lake.

Martial Arts Island is the location where the five major families in the Tianfeng Sea hold their martial arts tournament. There are only half a month left until the tournament.

"I'll go down and take a look," Gu Yan said after a moment's hesitation, finally gritting her teeth.

Swish!

Gu Yan acted decisively; once she made her decision, she moved swiftly and headed towards the center of the lake.

However, just as she was about to dive down, her eyes suddenly narrowed, and she quickly retreated.

Bang!

As soon as Gu Yan retreated, a huge column of water suddenly erupted from the calm lake, and then the lake water poured down.

Within the seemingly continuous curtain of water, two figures flashed out one after the other, landing on the edge of the lake amidst the excited gazes of the Gu family disciples.

"Young Master Lin Fan, Young Master Lin Dong, you've come out!" Gu Yan looked at the familiar figures and her expression relaxed.

Lin Fan nodded slightly and smiled, "It seems you're getting a little impatient?"

Gu Yan smiled wryly, "That's right, the thing is..."

Gu Yan immediately recounted the events of the Five Families Martial Arts Tournament to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan nodded in understanding and said, "In that case, let's set off now. I'd also like to witness the talent and demeanor of the younger generation of elites in the Tianfeng Sea."

Gu Yan hesitated slightly, but didn't beat around the bush. She fixed her gaze on Lin Fan and said, "Young Master Lin Fan, I have a request."

"What is it? Tell me," Lin Fan said with a faint smile.

Gu Yan said, "I have already mentioned the Five Families Martial Arts Tournament. Our Gu family's elder brother, Gu Yuntian, has been seriously injured. Therefore, I would like to ask you to act as an outsider for the Gu family, to replace elder brother Gu Yuntian in the competition, and to win the championship of this martial arts tournament."

Lin Fan raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "I won't do anything that doesn't benefit me."

Gu Yan gave a wry smile at Lin Fan's blunt words, and then asked, "Young Master Lin Fan, what kind of reward do you want?"

Lin Fan shrugged and said, "It's better if you bring this up yourself. After all, I don't know what your Gu family has that could impress me."

"Young Master Lin Fan, have you ever heard of the Primordial Tower?" Gu Yan pondered for a moment before asking Lin Fan.

Lin Fan shook his head slightly and said, "I haven't heard anyone mention it before."

Lin Fan wasn't entirely lying. Although he knew about the Primordial Tower, no one in this world had ever mentioned it to him.

"The Primordial Tower is a treasure trove of cultivation passed down from ancient times. It is said that a primordial energy can be born within it..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yan immediately began to explain the situation of the Primordial Tower to Lin Fan and the other person.

After the introduction, Gu Yanyu stretched out her jade-like hand, took out a deep yellow stone bead, and handed it to Lin Fan, saying:

"This is the Primordial Pearl inside the Primordial Tower, which contains a trace of primordial energy."

Lin Fan took the stone bead. It felt cool to the touch and had a faint, wild, primal aura about it.

Apart from that, there's nothing particularly special.

"Take a look too," Lin Fan casually tossed the stone bead to Lin Dong and said indifferently.

Lin Dong grabbed the stone bead, sensed it for a moment, and then released a wisp of devouring power from his palm.

hum!

The power of devouring was released, and the Primordial Pearl that Lin Dong held in his hand was turned into powder almost instantly.

Then, Lin Dong felt a surge of ancient and pure energy suddenly flow into his body.

Immediately afterwards, the Azure Dragon Transformation Technique started operating automatically, attempting to absorb the primordial energy.

The stone talisman also joined in the fun, forcefully pulling away the primordial energy in a domineering manner, and even seemed to feel unsatisfied.

Sensing the changes within his body, Lin Dong's expression turned strange.

After a while, Lin Dong raised his head, scratched his head, and said awkwardly, "Sorry, I accidentally lost this thing."

Gu Yan said, "It's alright, this Primordial Pearl doesn't contain much Primordial Qi."
