214: Shocked enlightenment, Huanhuan's accusation! [Seeking follow-up reading]

Lin Fan smiled faintly and said, "What if I know the reason for the Great Desolate Tablet's dormancy?"

"You secure an opportunity for Dan River Empowerment for both me and Lin Dong, and I will tell you why the Great Desolate Tablet is dormant. As for how to negotiate with the other three halls, that will depend on the Vice Hall Master's ability."

"What did you say?" Wu Dao was startled when he heard this.

Lin Fan said, "Vice Hall Master did not mishear. However, this matter is of great importance, and the fewer people who know about it, the better. After Lin Dong and I finish the Dan River Empowerment, I 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 significantly reduced in the future."

Wu Dao said with some suspicion, "How do I know if what you're saying is true or false? Also, how did you come to know of it?"

"Vice Hall Master should know that in the Ancient Secret Treasure, I obtained the Legacy of the Vermilion Bird Hall, one of the Four Xuan Sect. In reality, it should be the Vermilion Bird King's Legacy," Lin Fan said with a faint smile, not directly answering Wu Dao.

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

Lin Fan smiled but remained silent, neither admitting nor denying it.

Wu Dao pondered for a moment and said, "I will discuss this matter with the Hall Master. You all should rest for a while in the Desolate Hall."

"Then I will await your good news," Lin Fan said with a slight smile.

Wu Dao said nothing more. He led Lin Fan and the others into the Desolate Hall, instructed the Desolate Hall's senior Disciples to arrange their accommodation, and then went directly to find Desolate Hall Master Chen Zhen.

After settling into a small courtyard in the Desolate Hall, Lin Fan said to Lin Dong, "You should be Undergoing Tribulation for your fourth Nirvana Tribulation, right? Also, the Wind and Thunder Tribulation seems to be approaching soon, too, right?"

Lin Dong scratched his head and said, "As expected, nothing can be hidden from Brother Lin Fan."

"Let's Undergo Tribulation first," Lin Fan said with a smile, "You can Undergo Tribulation for the Nirvana Tribulation first. As for the Wind and Thunder Tribulation, you can save it for later."

"Before the Dan River Empowerment, some senior Disciples will likely cause trouble. At that time, you can just intimidate that group of people."

"I understand," Lin Dong nodded slightly, then continued, "Also, thank you, Brother Lin Fan. If you hadn't fought for it, I wouldn't have had the chance for Dan River Empowerment."

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

[Ding! You touched Lin Dong and received one desolate bead!]

A desolate bead, what a good reward!

Hearing the System's reward sound in his mind, Lin Fan was pleasantly surprised.

The desolate bead was originally formed by the Great Desolate Tablet's Stone Tablet Spirit condensing desolate power, containing immense desolate power.

In the original work, Lin Dong used the desolate bead to break through the defense jointly created by 540 Yuan Gate Disciples, demonstrating its considerable power!

Next, Lin Fan began Undergoing Tribulation for his sixth Wind and Thunder Tribulation, while Lin Dong Undergoing Tribulation for his fourth Nirvana Tribulation.

Xiao Diao and Xiao Yan naturally stood by to act as their Protectors.

As soon as the two entered the Desolate Hall, they immediately began Undergoing Tribulation, which instantly attracted the attention and discussion of many Desolate Hall Disciples, making them celebrities among the Desolate Hall Disciples.

Especially Lin Fan, the champion of the Hundred Dynasty War in the Seven Yuan Nirvana Realm, caused the entire Desolate Hall to boil with excitement!

...While Lin Fan and Lin Dong were Undergoing Tribulation, in the eastern part of Dao Sect, towering mountains, thousands of feet high, also stood.

The Aura here was even stronger than that of the Desolate Hall.

This was the Heavenly Hall, the foremost of Dao Sect's Four Halls!

Above the mountains of the Heavenly Hall, a Dan River also hung, and this Dan River was even grander in scale than the one in the Desolate Hall. Looking at it, one couldn't even see its end.

One could only feel the incomparably rich Nirvana Qi rippling out from within the Dan River, causing the space to become somewhat distorted.

On that Dan River, there were many floating platforms, and upon these platforms, numerous Disciples sat with their eyes closed, Cultivating.

These platforms were spread around the Dan River, but the closer one got to the center of the Dan River, the fewer platforms there were, and the number of Disciples on them also significantly decreased.

Whoosh!

A whooshing sound suddenly echoed above the Dan River, subtly accompanied by the crisp clashing of musical instruments, like a celestial melody, causing many Cultivating Disciples to open their eyes and stare at the graceful figure soaring through the sky, a hint of intoxication flashing in their eyes.

The graceful figure in the sky, however, paid no attention, directly rushing into the deepest part of the Dan River and gently landing on the last platform.

As the graceful figure landed, her red dress swayed. It was none other than Ying Huanhuan, who had bickered with Lin Fan earlier.

As soon as she landed on the platform, her gaze fell forward. At the edge of the platform, a woman sat quietly, a rich Nirvana Qi swirling around her.

The woman wore a dark robe, her figure slender, and her soft dark hair was casually tied with a blue ribbon.

Her hands rested on her knees, her jade fingers forming a hand seal, and upon that hand seal, a blue longsword rested between the two seals. A faint wisp of Sword Qi emanated, actually cutting through the surrounding Nirvana Qi.

"Sister," Ying Huanhuan couldn't help but pout as soon as she saw the woman before her.

The woman before her was none other than Ying Xiaoxiao, the number one among Dao Sect's younger generation and the Heavenly Hall's Senior Sister.

Hearing Ying Huanhuan's crisp call, Ying Xiaoxiao's tightly closed eyes slowly opened, and her face instantly softened.

"Weren't you with Junior Martial Uncle Wei to select new Disciples? Why do you look like this?"

Ying Huanhuan elegantly stood up, her jade hand holding the blue longsword, and looked at Ying Huanhuan with a hint of a smile in her eyes.

"Don't even mention it," Ying Huanhuan frowned slightly, pouting, and said, "I originally wanted to see what abilities that guy who won the Hundred Dynasty War had, but I didn't expect him to be a conceited idiot."

"What's wrong?" Ying Xiaoxiao's eyes turned to the surging Dan River around the platform, her expression showing little change.

"That guy actually gave up joining the Heavenly Hall and ran off to the Desolate Hall," Ying Huanhuan said angrily, "And he even said he wanted to Cultivate the Great Desolation Scripture..."

While Ying Huanhuan was complaining about Lin Fan to her sister, in the Desolate Hall, Wu Dao had also found Hall Master Chen Zhen and brought up Lin Fan's matter.

After listening to Wu Dao, Chen Zhen's expression was also slightly surprised, "How much credibility do you give to what Lin Fan said?"

Wu Dao stroked his beard and pondered, "That kid is a bit cunning, but he probably wouldn't speak carelessly."

"Moreover, don't you think there's something wrong with the Great Desolate Tablet? I heard that back then, comprehending the Great Desolation Scripture, though difficult, still offered a certain chance, but the difficulty increased further down the line."

Chen Zhen thought for a moment and said, "Let's go, take me to see this Hundred Dynasty War champion first."

Wu Dao said nothing more upon hearing this and immediately led Chen Zhen to find Lin Fan.

When the two arrived at the small courtyard where Lin Fan resided, they happened to witness the end of Lin Fan's Undergoing Tribulation.

They saw that the vast silver Lightning Tribulation had not harmed Lin Fan in the slightest; instead, he absorbed it into his body, transforming it into his own power.

"He indeed has some ability," Chen Zhen couldn't help but exclaim in admiration upon seeing Lin Fan's performance.

"Vice Hall Master Wu Dao, who is this, if I may ask?" Lin Fan, at this moment, also sensed their arrival and asked Wu Dao.

"This is the Desolate Hall Master. You can just call him Hall Master Chen Zhen," Wu Dao smiled and introduced him to Lin Fan.

"Greetings, Hall Master Chen Zhen," Lin Fan said, cupping his fists in a bow to Chen Zhen.

Chen Zhen nodded and said with a smile, "Wu Dao told me that you have a way to reduce the difficulty for Disciples to comprehend the Great Desolation Scripture?"
