At this moment, Yun Fan began refining spirit stones. The spirit stones compensated by the Feng clan this time were considerable, so he was attempting to break through to the seventh realm.
For him, refining these spirit stones, which were larger than mountains, should not be a problem in breaking through to the seventh realm.
And so, he refined all these spirit stones.
After refining, he successfully broke through to the eighth realm. This time, it was even better than he had anticipated.
In his opinion, breaking through to the seventh realm was already a good outcome, but unexpectedly, he had directly broken through to the eighth realm.
Upon reaching the eighth realm, Yun Fan possessed immense confidence.
If he had broken through to the eighth realm when Feng Wu Yan was arrogant back then, then the other party would not have had the opportunity to be so arrogant.
He could have easily killed Feng Wu Yan with a single palm strike.
Of course, Feng Wu Yan certainly had backup plans, such as Feng Tai Cang's appearance that day, so killing Feng Wu Yan was not that simple.
But he had a hundred percent certainty of killing the opponent.
By the time he emerged from seclusion, two months had passed, leaving Yun Fan no time to return to the Immortal Realm for a reunion.
With no other choice, he had to participate in the Galactic Convention first.
“Sir, when participating in the Galactic Convention this time, do not expose your Battle God power!”
Lie Huo reminded Yun Fan.
After all, the Battle God clan was a taboo at this moment. Although he would accompany Yun Fan, as this time he was going to apply for the qualification of a first-class strong clan from the Galactic Lord.
But if Yun Fan’s aura were truly exposed too much, even he might not be able to protect him. This was destined to be a fierce battle.
Yun Fan nodded, “Don’t worry, I won’t expose it!”
That’s right, not needing to expose was enough. After all, Lie Huo had told him that among the prodigies participating in the Galactic Convention, there were no Immortal Kings. The strongest were beings like Feng Wu Yan.
For Yun Fan, being one realm lower, there was no need to expose himself at all.
At this moment, Lie Huo spoke again, “From today onwards, I can no longer call you ‘Sir.’ I can only refer to you as the prodigy of my Lie Yan clan!”
“I know!”
Yun Fan nodded.
Then, they set off.
This time, the participants were Yan Xin and Yun Fan. As the Lie Yan clan only had one spot, Yan Xin was accompanying Yun Fan and would not participate.
The reason for this was simple: Yun Fan would be lonely on his journey, and she wanted to alleviate his loneliness.
Lie Huo tactfully boarded another warship, while Yun Fan and Yan Xin shared one.
After an unknown period of time, they arrived at the center of the galaxy, where a vast continent lay.
It was called the Star Continent.
The Galactic Lord and other supreme beings like the Feng clan were naturally located on the Star Continent, which concentrated all the resources of the entire galaxy.
It was incredibly abundant. Although the Lie Yan clan had an opportunity if they became a first-class strong clan, they did not plan to make a grand announcement.
After all, they only had one mission: to cultivate Yun Fan.
Upon arriving at the Star Continent, Yun Fan saw many strong clans, but it was evident that none of them were as powerful as the Feng clan.
For in the entire galaxy, there were only two first-class strong clans: the Galactic Lord and the Feng clan.
Now there would be one more, which was the Lie Yan clan.
Upon seeing Lie Huo and Yun Fan, Feng Tai Cang’s face was filled with anger, but he still asked sarcastically, “Your Lie Yan clan also wants to become a first-class strong clan?”
“Of course!”
Lie Huo replied, “I have already become an Immortal King, so naturally, I have the qualifications!”
“Hmph!”
Feng Tai Cang coldly said, “Do you think the Galactic Lord will agree?”
His meaning was simple: the Galactic Lord would absolutely not allow another first-class strong clan to take a share of the pie.
Therefore, in his opinion, the Lie Yan clan would definitely fail.
Lie Huo then said, “We shall wait and see!”
Subsequently, various strong clans gathered in the Galactic Lord’s great hall.
The Galactic Lord said, “Everyone, welcome. This convention is primarily for the younger generation. We should all step back and let them take center stage!”
At this moment, Lie Huo stepped forward and said, “Reporting to the Galactic Lord, I have become an Immortal King. Do I have the qualifications to become a first-class strong clan?”
Before the Galactic Lord could reply, Feng Tai Cang interjected, “No!”
“Reporting to the Galactic Lord, although he has broken through to Immortal King, the Lie Yan clan as a whole lacks sufficient strength and cannot become a strong clan!”
Upon hearing this, many other races echoed his sentiment, as the Feng clan held a high status within the galaxy.
At this point, the Galactic Lord stated, “According to the rules, as long as one breaks through to Immortal King, they can become a first-class strong clan, regardless of their foundation. Therefore, I approve. From today onwards, the Lie Yan clan is a newly ascended first-class strong clan!”
Everyone was shocked by this announcement, surprised that the Galactic Lord had agreed. His intention was simple: he tacitly allowed the Lie Yan clan to share in the spoils.
Why was this?
Was the Galactic Lord not afraid that the Lie Yan clan would become like the Feng clan and oppose him?
However, as the matter was settled, they had nothing more to say.
Then, the Galactic Lord continued, “The fiefdom of the Lie Yan clan will be adjacent to the Feng clan’s territory. That region of space is very rich, and it will not be a disgrace to your Lie Yan clan!”
“Thank you, Galactic Lord!”
Lie Huo quickly cupped his hands and said.
Upon hearing this, everyone understood that the Galactic Lord’s plan was profound, setting the Lie Yan clan against the Feng clan.
Given the existing discord between the two clans, this arrangement would ensure that the Feng clan would have an opponent in the Lie Yan clan.
Although they did not believe the Lie Yan clan was a match for the Feng clan, it would be enough to tie the Feng clan down. The Galactic Lord’s move was indeed extremely clever.
Feng Tai Cang coldly stated, “Lie Huo, your Lie Yan clan should be careful from now on, as that region of space is not peaceful!”
Lie Huo, without yielding, replied, “It doesn't matter. My Lie Yan clan does not seek trouble, but we do not fear it either!”
Seeing the two clans in confrontation, the Galactic Lord was very pleased.
He then declared, “We all reside under the same galaxy. Do not engage in internal strife; unity is paramount!”
Undeniably, his words were hypocritical. How could there be unity now? This was all thanks to the Galactic Lord.
“Naturally!”
Everyone quickly agreed, not exposing the Galactic Lord’s hypocrisy.
The Galactic Lord then said, “There is no need for further pleasantries. Let us now hand over the stage to the young generation!”
Everyone understood what he meant.
The next day, the Galactic Convention officially began.
It was simple: the prodigies of each strong clan would venture into an ancient galaxy to seek opportunities.
Whoever obtained more opportunities would receive benefits, as there were many valuable treasures within that galaxy.
There were no rankings, but combat was not forbidden.
Clearly, rather than a treasure hunt, this was a feast of slaughter. Here, only strength and might determined everything.
Many prodigies were fearful, as they could not guarantee they wouldn't become someone else’s prey. However, for Yun Fan, this was a perfect hunting ground.
At this moment, he was fully prepared.
He scanned the prodigies present and found them all to be strong. The weakest was at the fourth realm of the Celestial Immortals, and many were at the seventh or eighth realm.
However, there were not many at the ninth realm. There were only two: one was Feng Wu Yan, who was looking at him provocatively.
The other was a veiled woman. Generally, at Yun Fan’s current level of power, he could see through even a veil.
He could still see everything clearly, but Yun Fan found that he could not see through her at all. She seemed to be the daughter of the Galactic Lord, Zhe Xian.
Her strength was definitely on par with Feng Wu Yan, possibly even stronger.
Of course, none of this concerned Yun Fan. His primary objective was to kill Feng Wu Yan. As for others, as long as they did not provoke him, he would spare their lives.
But if they truly provoked him, then he would not be polite. He had a good temper, but that did not mean he was a saint.
Subsequently, the ancient galaxy opened, and a group of prodigies entered the galaxy first. In their opinion, whoever entered first would gain the initiative.
But in Yun Fan’s view, it was not that simple. If one lacked strength, then so be it.
At this moment, Yan Xin warned Yun Fan, “Sir, you must be careful of Feng Wu Yan. A large number of those prodigies are his people!”
“Understood!”
Yun Fan nodded. He was not afraid of a large number of enemies, but he was afraid of enemies who dared not provoke him, which would be meaningless.
“I will wait here for you to return!”
“En!”
Then, Yun Fan leaped forward and stepped into the ancient galaxy.
At this moment, Yan Xin worriedly said, “I wonder if Sir can safely pass through this slaughter!”
Lie Huo replied, “Don’t worry! This is his feast of slaughter!”
…
Upon entering the galaxy, Yun Fan discovered that this place was very special. Although it had a long history, he sensed a strange aura.
In other words, it had been invaded by a strange race.
No wonder there was a strange aura, but for Yun Fan, the strange race posed no threat at all; they were merely destined to be his prey.
He continued to search forward.
However, in another location, Feng Wu Yan was anxious and had gathered dozens of prodigies.
He asked these prodigies, “Have you remembered the appearance of that brat?”
“Remembered!”
Many prodigies nodded. Feng Wu Yan had previously asked them to remember Yun Fan’s appearance, so at this moment, they all had a clear image of Yun Fan in their minds.
Feng Wu Yan then said, “Very good. Contact me once you find him. I want to kill him!”
“Yes!”
At this moment, a prodigy asked, “What if Zhe Xian tries to stop us?”
Hearing this, Feng Wu Yan said disdainfully, “Don’t worry! She doesn’t have the guts. Even if she had the guts, I would still act against her!”
After all, in Feng Wu Yan’s opinion, he had the greatest advantage, so he feared no challenge.
…
Yun Fan, who was searching for opportunities, was unaware that he had already been targeted.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him. Yun Fan looked closely and saw it was Zhe Xian.
“Is the fairy waiting for me here?”
Yun Fan asked doubtfully.
Zhe Xian nodded, “That’s right!”
“What is the meaning of the fairy waiting for me?”
Yun Fan did not believe she was here to exchange pleasantries.
Zhe Xian said, “I want to cooperate with you!”
Upon hearing this, Yun Fan chuckled, “With your ninth-realm strength, I’m afraid you don’t need to cooperate with me, do you?”
“It seems you don’t know the seriousness of the situation. If you don’t cooperate with me, your situation will become very dangerous. So, I advise you to consider it carefully!”
Zhe Xian said haughtily, which was also related to her personality.
Yun Fan replied, “That doesn’t matter. After all, my biggest flaw is that I am not afraid of trouble. The more dangerous the situation, the more excited I become!”
Zhe Xian sneered, “You are only at the eighth realm. What right do you have to say such things?”
Yun Fan replied, “Don’t worry, whether I have the right is not for you to decide, but for me to determine!”
“Foolish!”
Zhe Xian no longer paid attention to Yun Fan and disappeared alone. Yun Fan said nothing, as he disliked cooperating with others the most.
