Chapter 659: Immortal World? Divine Realm! (Sixth Update)
"A moving spatial world?" Lin Fan's body shuddered.
"Yes!"
Emperor Jade nodded lightly and continued, "Moreover, I suspect that the last time I estimated the age of these weapons, thinking they had a history of an epoch, I guessed wrong."
"What do you mean?" Lin Fan asked, puzzled.
"It's quite simple! The passage of time in this spatial world is much faster than the outside world. In this spatial world, an epoch passes, but the elapsed time in the outside world definitely isn't as long as an epoch. Based on a conversion of two hundred and sixty times, six billion years here is roughly just over twenty million years outside, so the time isn't really that long!" Emperor Jade explained.
"Are you saying that these weapons actually have a history of just over twenty million years outside?" Lin Fan paused for a second before asking.
"Yes!" Emperor Jade confidently replied and continued, "And look, the designs of these weapons are very similar to modern ones. How could the designs from an epoch ago be so similar to the current ones?"
"That does make sense." Lin Fan nodded.
"However, another question arises! What was the purpose of the owner of Mystic Iron Mountain in establishing it?"
"I don't know."
Emperor Jade answered resolutely, without blushing or skipping a beat.
Lin Fan rolled his eyes, "If you don't know, why are you saying so much?"
"Can't I just feel like saying it?" Emperor Jade retorted, with a touch of haughtiness.
"Chuckle! Emperor Jade, touche!" Lin Fan felt the urge to vomit blood, giving a thumbs up, "You're the first person who can speak so righteously about not knowing something!"
"Heh heh! Little Fan Fan, thanks for the compliment! Madame accepts it!" Emperor Jade giggled with a smile.
But the next second.
Emperor Jade fell silent!
A second passed.
Then Emperor Jade's tone became serious, "However, I suspect that the owner of Mystic Iron Mountain is definitely no ordinary person. Not someone from the Lower Plane, nor the Middle Plane, and even... not someone from the Upper Plane!"
"Ah? Then what plane is that person from?" Lin Fan was somewhat surprised.
Lin Fan could understand that it was not a person from the Lower Plane.
After all.
Mystic Iron Mountain is extraordinary, and if someone from the Lower Plane had such power, they would have already moved up to the Middle or Upper Plane!
But.
Emperor Jade went on to say that even the Upper Plane was not home to the owner of Mystic Iron Mountain.
"The Immortal World, or the Divine Realm." Emperor Jade was silent for a few seconds before speaking again.
"The Immortal World? The Divine Realm!" Lin Fan's eyes widened in disbelief, "Do such places really exist?"
"Yes!" Emperor Jade nodded slowly.
"The Immortal World has ninety-nine layers. Each layer forms a super terrifying realm on its own, with hundreds of thousands of smaller worlds, three thousand Great Worlds, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths... countless in number. Any single plane is much larger than Earth, Wilderness Continent, Spirit Realm, Divine Wind Continent, Demon Realm combined! And the Divine Realm... is a place that the master discovered later... there..." Just as Emperor Jade spoke up to this point, she fell silent again.
It seemed as if she had touched upon some taboo!
"What's there?" Lin Fan's heart stirred.
Could it be that this world really has places like the Immortal World and Divine Realm?
Does that not mean.
That this world truly has True Immortals or divine beings?
But.
Since Emperor Jade didn't continue, Lin Fan couldn't pursue further questioning.
Lin Fan knew, whatever Emperor Jade did not wish to speak about, no matter how much he inquired, she would keep her lips sealed.
...
After leaving Mystic Iron Mountain, not even a quarter of an hour had passed in the outside world.
Just as they emerged from inside Mystic Iron Mountain.
Xiao Wu arrived outside his room.
"Knock knock knock! Young Master Lin, I have made some osmanthus cake and hibiscus cake with my own hands, would you like to try some?" Xiao Wu's softly sticky voice came through the door, sounding both excited and shy.
A few seconds passed.
"Thank you Miss Xiao, but I'm not hungry. Besides, I'm in the middle of cultivation, please return!" Lin Fan said.
"Oh..."
Xiao Wu's voice carried a thick sense of disappointment, "Then alright... you carry on with your cultivation, I won't disturb you..."
Gradually, the sound of Xiao Wu's footsteps grew fainter and farther away.
...
...
Three days later.
The day of the Heavenly Pride Conference had finally arrived.
The Heavenly Pride Conference was held within the City Lord Mansion of Golden City, which, for the duration of the event, was completely open to the public.
Fortunately, the City Lord Mansion of Golden City was spacious enough.
It could accommodate not only the participants of the Heavenly Pride Conference but also the spectators.
The entire City Lord Mansion had almost turned into a bustling market, with its vast squares packed with crowds inside and out, brimming with excitement.
Almost all the major powers near Golden City were present.
Iron Bone Hall, Wind and Rain Island, Undefeated City, Reincarnation Square, True Fire Sect... and so forth, all renowned Second Grade and Third Grade powers from the vicinity of Golden City!
As for First Grade powers, they wouldn't bother coming to Golden City at all!
However.
Some young powerhouses from First Grade powers, fearing to encounter each other in the preliminary heats amidst the crowd, sought to avoid the risk before even reaching the finals.
Therefore.
Some young powerhouses from First Grade powers would go to other cities to participate in the preliminary competitions!
For example, characters like Ni Chang, Wuma Tian, and Chen Xiao, had done just that.
With Ni Chang's beauty and grace, as soon as she appeared at the City Lord Mansion, she instantly attracted the gaze of millions of eyes.
Beautiful!
Truly wondrously beautiful!
Today, Ni Chang was dressed in a long white gown that elevated her whole persona, resembling a pure and flawless Snow Lotus that discouraged any thoughts of desecration.
Ni Chang's Divine Sense swept over the plaza from above, searching for traces of Lin Fan.
She knew that Lin Fan would definitely take part in the Heavenly Pride Conference!
It was at this moment that Lin Fan and Xiao Wu arrived.
Ni Chang promptly discovered Lin Fan.
Only.
When Ni Chang caught sight of Xiao Wu, a deep sense of loss flashed within the depths of her beautiful eyes!
'He... Why is he accompanied by a woman?'
Especially since Xiao Wu's appearance was in no way inferior to Ni Chang's.
Yet, Xiao Wu's cultivation was at the Sixth Rank Ancient Saint Realm, not nearly as advanced as Ni Chang's!
Wuma Tian, who was nearby, also saw Lin Fan.
He noticed Ni Chang's reaction, with a cold glint hidden deep within his eyes!
...
Meanwhile.
Elsewhere.
Ye Yun also saw Lin Fan entering the City Lord Mansion, and seeing Xiao Wu following beside Lin Fan, the flames of jealousy in Ye Yun's heart surged to an unprecedented level!
"Brother Zhou, did you see that? That man is Lin Fan; I want him dead!" Ye Yun lowered his voice, which was somewhat hoarse.
By Ye Yun's side, a young man raised his eyebrows, casting a nonchalant glance at Lin Fan!
Early Stage Of Unification cultivation?
A mere ant of existence!
This young man named Zhou Huo, with the strength of a Third Rank Holy Ancestor, could kill such an Early Stage Of Unification ant with just a flick of his finger.
Even.
No need for a finger at all!
"Don't worry, Brother Ye! Once the selections are over, and we move on to the challenge phase, I will take on this Lin Fan!" Zhou Huo grinned, relaxed and carefree.
"Great! Then I'll trouble Brother Zhou! As long as you publicly thrash Lin Fan, once the matter is over, I'll give you three hundred thousand Xuan Stones!" Ye Yun nodded gravely.
"Heh heh! Three hundred thousand Xuan Stones? Who knew this little bug would be worth so much, eh!" Zhou Huo chuckled, throwing another scan at Lin Fan, "Don't worry Brother Ye, I assure you, you will feel that these three hundred thousand Xuan Stones are well spent!"
Zhou Huo watched Lin Fan with an amused look.
He thought to himself.
How shall I torture this little insect to death later?
ps: Goodnight everyone. I will slowly make up for the updates I previously owed... uh... I remember, perhaps about thirty or forty chapters... Not many... not many...
