64: When an emperor falls, all things come into being. It's all cause and effect.
“Isn’t that Han Feng?”
“Who is Han Feng? A celebrity?”
“You joined the Sect late, so you haven’t heard, but Han Feng is a legend!”
“Indeed, a legend. Three years ago, Han Feng was one of the True Disciples of the Inner Sect, but then his Cultivation suddenly vanished, he dropped to the Inner Sect, then to the Outer Sect, and finally became a sweeper. No one can surpass such a feat.”
“Sweeper? I always thought he had been expelled from the Sect long ago?”
“He has some connection with the Saintess, so staying on Utility Peak as a Utility Disciple is fine. Anyway, there are never too many Utility Disciples.”
“No way? He still has feelings for the Saintess?”
“Who knows, but he’s probably trying to re-enter the Inner Sect this time. Anyway, just watch the show.”
“You mean watch him make a fool of himself? Hahaha.”
The moment Han Feng stepped onto the stage, everyone around him burst into laughter, laughing heartily, all with mocking expressions.
They all wanted to see Han Feng make a fool of himself.
After all, no matter how they looked, they couldn’t detect any spiritual Qi fluctuations from Han Feng’s Body, meaning he was still that Five Extremes Realm cripple with no Cultivation.
Although the Outer Sect Competition didn’t restrict what Realm could participate, and while the people here weren’t necessarily powerful, they were at least Spirit Dao Realm. Wouldn't Han Feng, a Five Extremes Realm cultivator, be a joke going up there?
At once, everyone was ready to watch Han Feng be defeated in a single move.
“Kid, if you can’t bear small things, you’ll mess up big plans. Don’t let the words of these wastes interfere with you.”
“They will only ever be stuck in this one world for their entire lives. You are different from them.”
Han Feng stood on the stage, his gaze firm, as the voice of his Senior echoed in his mind.
However, unexpectedly, Han Feng had thought he would feel anger or happiness standing there, but surprisingly, none of those feelings were present.
Because he knew that the Inner Sect was his stage.
A small Outer Sect Competition, he now completely disregarded it.
“Senior, I understand.”
Han Feng said, feeling quite emotional.
Sure enough, what Senior said was true. He Cultivated a different kind of Profound Qi than others, which was why no one had discovered that he was now at Spirit Dao Five Realms, the same Realm as these people in the Outer Sect.
Moreover, this Profound Qi primarily strengthened the Physical Body. Now, he already possessed the ability for his Physical Body to resist weapons. Han Feng was confident that even if he encountered a Divine Dao Realm expert, he would have the power to fight!
As he thought, Han Feng’s first opponent stepped onto the stage. He struck a pose, while his opponent wore a mocking expression.
“Han Feng, I know you. The former True Disciple, the object of pursuit for so many.”
“I don't want to accidentally kill you. If you admit defeat and step down now, it’s still not too late.”
As he spoke, the person’s entire Aura suddenly burst forth, his Spirit Dao Four Realms Realm fully revealed.
“More talk is useless. Come.”
Han Feng’s expression remained unchanged, merely stating calmly.
“Hmph! Then don’t blame me!”
As his words fell, the person didn’t even use a weapon, but instead swung his fist, directly lunging towards Han Feng!
He had expected Han Feng to dodge clumsily, but to his surprise, Han Feng looked confident and also threw a punch!
With a bang!
Han Feng stood confidently in place, completely unharmed, while the other person… turned into a streak of light, flew off the arena, and lay on the ground, his fate unknown!
“!!!”
Suddenly, those below the stage who had been mocking and waiting to see Han Feng make a fool of himself were stunned.
It was a long time before someone finally spoke with a trembling voice:
“The Genius Han Feng… has returned?”
…At this moment, on the viewing platform, Han Feng hadn't noticed the abnormality here yet.
Jun Lingxiao looked at Han Feng, who was unrivaled in his Realm below, and couldn't help but sigh to Su Lianxue, who was standing beside him:
“Your childhood friend is truly extraordinary.”
It seemed like praise, but Su Lianxue understood that the true meaning of the person beside her was not this.
“Your Highness… Han Feng and the Shen Family matter…” Su Lianxue said tremblingly, but before she could finish, Jun Lingxiao interrupted her.
He looked down, raising a finger to make a 'shush' gesture.
“Shh~ Say any more, and it’ll be a bit annoying.”
He didn't even spare her a glance.
While worrying about her childhood friend, Su Lianxue also felt an even stranger sensation in her heart.
‘Countless people have praised my beauty since I was young. Although I can’t compare to the person beside him, I am also an exceptional beauty among people, right? But why… doesn’t he look at me more than once?’
Su Lianxue wasn't in love with Jun Lingxiao, but rather felt a sense of indignation rising from the bottom of her heart.
Such a great beauty is by your side, and you don’t look, instead you look at Han Feng… [Ding! Hostess Su Lianxue’s mentality has changed, gaining 300 harvest value.]
Jun Lingxiao listened to the System’s prompt in his mind and no longer thought about what she was imagining in her heart. He just looked at Han Feng below, gradually feeling a hint of strangeness.
On the arena, Han Feng was unstoppable, killing anyone who stood in his way, as if he possessed an invincible Aura.
At first, some underestimated him, but later, even using their ultimate skills, they still found they were no match for Han Feng. Thus, some speculated that Han Feng was also in the Spirit Dao Realm, but used some hidden means that prevented detection.
The most exciting part was the next match. Han Feng’s opponent was a Divine Dao Realm expert, one major Realm higher than him. Han Feng finally felt the strain, but somehow, using a secret technique, a golden Dharma Idol phantom actually appeared behind him!
The phantom struck with a punch, and the Divine Dao Realm expert also lay defeated.
Originally, it was nothing; it was normal for a protagonist to have some cheats, but the more Jun Lingxiao watched, the more familiar it seemed.
“Young Master, it’s a Fang Family Divine Ability.”
An Luoxin’s voice came, and Jun Lingxiao instantly understood.
Fang Sheng seemed to have used this move as well. The Fang Family’s ability to establish itself in the Ten Directions Immortal Court relied on this: being able to summon a Dharma Idol phantom to fight before reaching the Heaven and Earth Realm.
“So that’s it.”
“The supreme treasure of the Fang Family, which drifted to the Lower Realm after its demise, contains the remnant soul of a Fang Family powerhouse…”
“This is Karma…”
Everything seemed to align.
But Jun Lingxiao couldn’t help but wonder: “How many such existences are there?”
“Two Fang Family Great Emperors fell, and one alien Great Emperor fell.”
“Although the fall of the Fang Family Great Emperors was not very obvious in the Ten Directions Immortal Court, blood rain fell for twenty-one days and twenty-one nights in the Upper, Middle, and Lower Three Realms.”
“After the fall of the Fang Family Great Emperors, the world’s Laws were reshaped. Many Body Cultivators had their Legacy broken and could only re-Cultivate, and a new power, Profound Qi, appeared in the world.”
“After countless years, some will achieve Emperorhood through Profound Qi, but the fall of the alien Great Emperor was more severe. Many places in the Three Thousand Dao Provinces opened passages to the alien Realm, alien Laws invaded, Demonic Beasts ran rampant in many areas, and many people Cultivated by consuming Demonic Beast blood.”
“Furthermore, the egg you obtained earlier, Young Master, was very likely found by that Senior who entered the alien Realm after the alien Great Emperor fell.”
An Luoxin explained carefully.
Ever since she met that Immortal Master Dao Xuan, she had investigated some intelligence, as she didn't want her Young Master to obtain anything unclean.
“Great Emperors falling… all things born… Laws changing… I saw Old Ancestor kill Great Emperors so easily, I thought Great Emperors were just like that. Turns out the Laws of the Ten Directions Immortal Court are special, while other Dao Provinces have already become a mess…”
“If their fall has such power, what kind of heaven-defying abilities would they possess when alive?”
Jun Lingxiao thought this. He seemed to have never actually seen a Great Emperor make a move.
The few people behind him were even more confused, not even knowing what Jun Lingxiao was talking about.
Great Emperor? Is it a Realm? Or a person?
Just then, a cheer suddenly erupted from below the stage, pulling Jun Lingxiao’s thoughts back.
“Right, that egg I got last time still hasn’t hatched.”
“Since this was originally the protagonist’s item, perhaps the method to hatch it is also with Han Feng.”
Jun Lingxiao said, his gaze downward filled with amusement, because… Han Feng’s ranking had already reached tenth place at this time.
