538: Chapter 538 The Supreme Council, Three Figures!

Back to the side of This Universe.

With the disappearance of the Prodigies from the Alien Universe.

The entire scene had now regained its calm.

Beneath the Sacred Mountain Projection.

Li Fan was currently being surrounded by Peng Song, Wu Chen, and a crowd of prodigies like stars around the moon.

“Brother Fan, you're truly fierce!”

“Big brother, you're too strong!”

“Brother Li Fan, your talent is simply heaven-defying; even seven strands of law power couldn't do anything to you.”

“Brother Li Fan, can we get to know each other?”

“Brother Li Fan, you are well-deserved of the title of number one in this grand gathering!”

“Li Fan, you are simply my idol!”

...

It was plain to see.

After this battle, Li Fan had undoubtedly made a name for himself and earned immense respect.

Many prodigies present, who hailed from great hidden clans and powerful organizations, were full of praise for Li Fan. They even stepped forward one after another to request becoming friends, showing great enthusiasm.

Li Fan had not only established prestige among the general public in the outside world but had also built up the same reputation among these younger generations.

In a corner.

Bai Chenfeng, Qi Daotian, Di Yunfu, Liu Hongyan, and the other prodigies who had comprehended Six Strands of Law Power were all watching this scene with mixed emotions.

They were naturally happy that Li Fan had suppressed all the prodigies of the Alien Universe.

However, they weren't *that* happy.

The main reason was that they saw the gap between themselves and Li Fan.

In truth, let alone the Prodigies from the Alien Universe being no match for Li Fan, weren't the few of them in the same boat?

At the start of the grand gathering, they were still competing with each other, feeling that they were the focus of this event.

Even until they faced the prodigies of the Alien Universe, they still felt they could give a good showing of their strength.

But as it turned out...

Li Fan's appearance directly caused them to pale in comparison, reducing them to mere supporting foliage.

No, they couldn't even be considered supporting foliage!

They were purely just bystanders passing by.

This intense sense of contrast made it truly difficult for them to be overly joyful.

Meanwhile, back with Li Fan.

Faced with the almost fanatical enthusiasm of the crowd of prodigies.

Li Fan was actually feeling a bit embarrassed.

“It's alright, it's alright. My strength is just average.”

“Everyone, don't get too excited. The grand gathering doesn't seem to have ended yet. I think you all should seize the time to earn some Points!”

Li Fan spoke humbly while offering a kind reminder.

That was true.

Although those Prodigies from the Alien Universe had been driven away, it seemed this grand gathering was not over yet.

As soon as Li Fan said this.

It actually caused the crowd of prodigies to calm down slightly.

Indeed.

Li Fan was now definitely a solid first place and could afford to relax.

But they couldn't relax just yet.

The ranking of this grand gathering would determine their positions in the Cosmic Abyss in the future, so it was still something they needed to take very seriously.

Just as Li Fan was reminding the prodigies about the grand gathering.

A majestic Dao sound followed immediately after.

“The grand gathering is not yet over. You are all about to be teleported to various corners of the star sector. Please be prepared!”

As the Dao sound fell.

The crowd of prodigies immediately felt a surge of spatial power rippling around them.

In the next second.

All the prodigies present vanished from their original spots.

Wait, not all of them.

Li Fan was still there.

“What's going on? Was I missed?”

Li Fan looked at the people who had already disappeared and found himself standing there alone, his brow furrowing involuntarily.

Everyone else had left, yet he remained. Could it be that they had overlooked him?

While Li Fan was still puzzled.

The next second.

A purple vortex appeared before him.

Li Fan looked at the spatial power permeating the purple vortex and immediately realized it was a teleportation gate.

“It seems I really was missed.”

Li Fan couldn't help but mutter softly, feeling a bit amused.

Then, without any hesitation, Li Fan stepped directly into the purple vortex.

In an instant, the scene before Li Fan's eyes became blurred.

And when Li Fan could see clearly again.

He was instantly stunned.

Because this place was actually not that star sector within the grand gathering, but rather inside a very spacious hall.

“Where is this?”

Li Fan frowned slightly.

And then.

Three figures appeared before Li Fan.

These were three middle-aged men who looked unremarkable, yet their pupils were incredibly deep, and every movement they made carried an indescribable Dao rhythm.

And on their faces, there was currently a faint smile.

“This is the Supreme Council.”

At this moment, the one standing in the middle spoke slowly, resolving Li Fan's confusion.

“The Supreme Council?!”

Hearing this answer, Li Fan's pupils couldn't help but shrink in surprise.

The Supreme Council—it could be said that this was the organization with the highest authority and strength in their entire universe. Every council member here possessed unfathomable power.

Without hesitation.

Li Fan immediately cupped his hands and bowed to the three of them.

“Junior Li Fan greets the three seniors!”

Seeing Li Fan being so polite, a hint of appreciation grew in their eyes.

“Dispense with the formalities; there's no need to be so restrained.”

The Middle-aged Man leading in the center said with a faint smile.

Listening to this Middle-aged Man's voice, Li Fan quickly reacted.

The voice of that giant hand that had saved him just now seemed to belong to this person.

“You are very good!”

The Middle-aged Man continued.

Hearing this, Li Fan couldn't help but scratch his head, feeling a bit embarrassed. “Senior overpraises me; I still have many areas where I need to improve.”

These words weren't purely out of humility; they were somewhat from the heart.

Although he had thrashed He Tianyue and Huang Yunshang.

He hadn't achieved a pure crushing victory—the kind where one could win with just a wave of the hand.

For him, this still gave him a sense of crisis.

Therefore, he still had immense room for improvement.

Seeing Li Fan being so humble, the three of them couldn't help but smile and shake their heads.

“Alright, strength is strength; there's no need to be overly humble.”

“We asked you to come here for no special reason other than wanting to see you with our own eyes.”

“As for this grand gathering, you don't need to continue participating. Your Points have basically secured first place. Continuing to participate would just be a waste of time. So, you can return to the spaceship later and focus on your cultivation.”

“Normally, the reward for first place in the grand gathering could be given to you in advance, but considering the transparency of the entire process, we must wait until the gathering ends before giving it to you.”

The Middle-aged Man said with a faint smile.

Hearing this.

Li Fan's eyes couldn't help but light up.

Good heavens.

He didn't have to participate in the rest of the grand gathering?!

Although he still somewhat wanted to continue challenging his limits, after the battle with He Tianyue and the others, he now wanted to enter closed-door cultivation even more.

As for the reward for first place.

While the reward was generous, he wasn't in a hurry to use it for the time being, so a delay was no problem.

“Regarding the reward, I am in no hurry.”

“In that case, I should be able to return to the spaceship now?”

Li Fan replied with cupped hands, a look of hope on his face.

Besides wanting to frantically increase his basic attributes through training, he was now desperate to use the divine enlightenment pearl to comprehend the seventh strand of law power!

Hearing Li Fan's words.

The three of them were a bit amused.

“Of course you can; you can go back anytime.”

“However, do you not have anything you want to ask us?”

“For example, regarding your cultivation?”

The Middle-aged Man in the center smiled.

They had called Li Fan over not only to see him in person but also for a latent purpose.

That was to see if they could offer Li Fan some pointers on his cultivation.

This could be considered a small personal opportunity they were granting Li Fan out of their appreciation for him.

With their current strength and status, if someone from the outside world wanted their guidance, they wouldn't be able to get it even if they begged.

But this Li Fan was clearly a bit outrageous.

As soon as he heard he could go back to cultivate, he immediately clamored to leave.

Considering that Li Fan might just be too excited and hadn't thought in this direction, he couldn't help but take the initiative to mention it.
