220: Absorb it all, and then cross the Nirvana Tribulation! [Seeking follow-up reading]

In the depths of the Dan River in the Celestial Hall.

On a platform, Ying Xiaoxiao sat cross-legged, the surging Nirvana Qi emanating from the Dan River and swirling around her, giving her an ethereal aura.

Whoosh!

However, her quiet Cultivation did not last long before a somewhat urgent sound of rushing wind suddenly came from behind her, causing her delicate brows to furrow slightly.

"Sister, something big has happened!"

Before Ying Xiaoxiao could reprimand, a clear voice came from behind. Ying Huanhuan, dressed in a red dress, landed gracefully on the platform, speaking in a hurried tone.

"What is it?" Ying Xiaoxiao looked up at the panting Ying Huanhuan, her tone not showing much emotion.

Ying Huanhuan said anxiously, "Do you still remember that Lin Fan I told you about?"

"I remember, what about him? Has his Dan River Empowerment ended? How many days did he last?"

Ying Xiaoxiao had been Cultivating in the deepest part of the Dan River and hadn't paid much attention to outside matters.

"That guy..." Ying Huanhuan clenched her slender, jade-like hands, then bit her silver teeth and said,

"That guy has been at the bottom of the Dan River for eight days, and there's no sign of him coming out yet!"

"Oh?" Ying Xiaoxiao's beautiful face finally showed a momentary flicker of emotion upon hearing this, and she said with some surprise,

"It seems this Lin Fan truly has some real skill. It looks like he might surpass the number of days I lasted back then!"

"How can that guy be compared to Sister? Sister is the most outstanding person among the younger generation of our Dao Sect..." Ying Huanhuan pouted and muttered.

"Among our Dao Sect disciples, the best record for enduring Dan River Empowerment was about eight days, right? Could that guy have been crushed to death directly?"

Ying Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at Ying Huanhuan upon hearing this, then mused, "Generally speaking, lasting eight days during Dan River Empowerment is indeed an excellent achievement. However... in the history of our Dao Sect, there have been exceptions."

"How come I don't know about this?" Ying Huanhuan was stunned.

Ying Xiaoxiao said, "Senior Zhou Tong back then lasted thirteen days, and that wasn't even his limit. Because during those thirteen days, he absorbed all the Nirvana Golden Qi at the bottom of the Dan River and had no choice but to come out."

"Absorbed it all..." Ying Huanhuan couldn't help but stare, dumbfounded.

Not only were the Ying Xiaoxiao and Ying Huanhuan sisters discussing, but almost the entire Dao Sect was now talking about Lin Fan and Lin Dong, the two brothers at the bottom of the Dan River.

Chen Zhen and Wu Dao of the Desolate Hall could barely hide the smiles in their eyes.

The Desolate Hall produced a Zhou Tong back then; could it now produce two more individuals, no weaker than Zhou Tong?

In a blink of an eye, two more days passed.

Today was Lin Fan's tenth day since entering the bottom of the Dan River!

At the bottom of the Dan River in the Celestial Hall, the Nirvana Golden Qi surrounding Lin Fan's body had become extremely sparse.

Moreover, the total amount of Nirvana Golden Qi was decreasing at a visible rate.

Until a certain moment, under the terrifying Devouring Power, the Nirvana Golden Qi that had accumulated for a year at the bottom of the Dan River was completely absorbed by Lin Fan!

At the same time, Lin Fan could feel that the surging Yuan Power within his body seemed to have reached the time for a Breakthrough again!

Evidently, the Nirvana Golden Qi in the Celestial Hall's Dan River brought Lin Fan considerable benefits.

Not only did it allow him to condense seven God-Slaying Flying Knives, but his physical strength and Yuan Power Cultivation also received a certain degree of improvement.

Sensing that the Nirvana Golden Qi had been completely absorbed, Lin Fan prepared to emerge from the river.

Just then, Lin Fan suddenly felt the temperature around him subtly rise.

Even the cool Dan River began to gurgle with bubbles.

As the bubbles churned, the Yuan Power spreading from within Lin Fan's body also suddenly became violent.

Ripples continuously spread from within Lin Fan's body, eventually reaching far away before slowly dissipating.

The Yuan Power within Lin Fan's body was in an extremely unstable state, which was a sign of the Nirvana Tribulation's arrival!

Lin Fan sat quietly at the bottom of the Dan River, forming hand seals. A shocking wave of heat suddenly swept out from within him, then, accompanied by the sound of gushing water, it frantically spread in all directions!

Bang! Bang!

The violent Yuan Power furiously erupted from within Lin Fan's body, causing the surrounding Dan River water to violently churn, yet his body remained motionless at the bottom of the Dan River, as steady as a mountain.

While the bottom of the Dan River was in turmoil due to Lin Fan's Nirvana Tribulation, the surface of the Dan River remained calm, with occasional waves surging, bringing with them a vast amount of Nirvana Qi.

Around the Dan River, platforms were almost filled with people. Lin Fan had been at the bottom of the Dan River for ten days already.

This had already surpassed the record of Ying Xiaoxiao, the top individual among the younger generation of the Dao Sect, causing a huge sensation throughout the entire Dao Sect.

Even Ying Xiaoxiao had stopped her Cultivation and was pulled outside by Ying Huanhuan, watching the section of the Dan River where Lin Fan was located.

"Why hasn't that guy come out yet?" Ying Huanhuan's beautiful eyes stared at the Dan River, and she couldn't help but purse her red lips, saying resentfully, "Could that guy really achieve Senior Zhou Tong's record?"

"What kind of world is this? How can that guy be compared to Senior Zhou Tong?"

"If he comes out now, he might even surpass Senior Zhou Tong..." Ying Xiaoxiao watched the Dan River quietly, whispering softly.

Ying Huanhuan was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then immediately understood.

Lin Fan's ability to persevere until now must be due to the same goal as Senior Zhou Tong, which is to absorb all the Nirvana Golden Qi at the bottom of the Dan River.

If Lin Fan emerged earlier than Zhou Tong, wouldn't that mean Lin Fan's achievement was even better than his?

Upon thinking of this, Ying Huanhuan couldn't help but bite her red lips tightly. She truly found it hard to imagine that the guy she had dismissed as conceited could actually have a chance to surpass her idol.

"Then let him stay locked in," Ying Huanhuan's eyes darted around, and she muttered softly.

Ying Xiaoxiao gave her a helpless look, and just as she was about to speak, her expression suddenly changed dramatically, and she abruptly turned towards the Dan River area where Lin Fan was.

There, the calm surface of the lake suddenly began to boil, and waves of astonishing Yuan Power fluctuations surged forth.

"Things, I'm afraid, won't go as you wish," Ying Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in her heart, and then whispered softly as she gazed at the suddenly boiling Dan River.

At the same time, the Dao Sect disciples around the Dan River also noticed the commotion in the Dan River, and their gazes were all drawn to it, their eyes filled with uncertainty and surprise.

With such a commotion, was Lin Fan about to emerge?

At this thought, many people craned their necks. They wanted to see to what extent this newcomer named Lin Fan had progressed during these ten days.

"No, that is... Nirvana Tribulation!"

"Why is Lin Fan Undergoing Tribulation at this time?"

"Could it be that the Nirvana Golden Qi at the bottom of the Dan River has truly been absorbed by him?"

"I wonder if he can successfully pass the Nirvana Tribulation?"

"..."

As everyone discussed, the oscillating vortex on the surface of the Dan River grew smaller and smaller, finally forming a passage about ten feet wide.

"He's coming out!"

Ying Xiaoxiao's beautiful eyes suddenly narrowed, and she whispered softly.

Ying Huanhuan, beside her, also quickly peered out, staring at that section of the Dan River without blinking.

Whoosh!

No sooner had Ying Xiaoxiao's voice fallen than a brilliant golden light suddenly shot out from the vortex, then burst forth from the surface of the Dan River, soaring straight into the clouds!
