Panlong Mountain, Six Kings' Estate.
Today, the Six Kings, rarely seen together, gathered in the grand hall. They looked at the cultivators beside Zhang Fan, namely Lin Haotian, Wuchen Sword Immortal, Tianhua Heavenly Lord, and Liu Mu. In their eyes, these were mere juniors, yet now they had all reached the Nascent Soul realm. Ling Xiu's eyes showed unconcealed envy.
"Brother Zhang Fan, where exactly did you take them to train, that they all managed to break through to the Nascent Soul realm in just over a decade?" Xiao Yi asked Zhang Fan with a smile.
Xiao Yi himself was a person of exceptional talent. With the aid of abundant resources, he had also reached the Half-step Nascent Soul realm in just over a decade. However, compared to Lin Haotian and the others, he felt quite dejected.
"The cosmic battlefield opened by the Zixiao Star Domain and the Jiuyai Star Domain. It is indeed a very suitable place for training, but I'm afraid you won't be able to go there in the future," Zhang Fan said helplessly.
"Why can't we go anymore? Now all six of us brothers are stuck at the Half-step Nascent Soul realm. If that cosmic battlefield can help us break through, no matter how dangerous, we would dare to venture there," Shen Feichen also chimed in.
"The Zixiao Star Domain and the Jiuyai Star Domain are two high-level star domains. Within these star domains, there are at least hundreds of thousands of cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage, over a hundred powerful beings at the Void Refinement stage, and even Dao Integration Immortal Kings presiding over them."
As Zhang Fan spoke, Ling Xiu and the others exchanged glances, their eyes filled with shock.
Currently, in this Wushan Star Domain, apart from Zhang Fan and his group, cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage had become extinct. The strongest were merely at the Half-step Nascent Soul level. Yet, in the Zixiao Star Domain and the Jiuyai Star Domain, there were at least hundreds of thousands of Nascent Soul stage powerhouses? Over a hundred Void Refinement mighty figures? And even the legendary Dao Integration Immortal Kings?
What kind of star domain was this, to be so powerful?
"I have offended both of these star domains. I'm afraid they will both have powerful individuals sent to track my whereabouts, and might even arrange cultivators skilled in the Great Dao of Karma to deduce my location. You guys are quite close to me, so you'll likely be discovered the moment you appear within the scope of those two star domains," Zhang Fan said with a smile, looking at Ling Xiu and the others.
He had not only killed a large number of Void Refinement cultivators from the two star domains but also inherited the cultivation techniques of the Evil Buddha Divine Venerable. How could those two star domains let him go?
Hearing this, the group's mood immediately became heavy. The sheer power of the Jiuyai Star Domain and the Zixiao Star Domain was enough to make them feel suffocated just by hearing about it. They never expected Zhang Fan to have offended them.
Zhang Xing'an and Su Yun also showed concern in their eyes upon hearing Zhang Fan's words. Su Yun said, "Fan'er, since you have offended those two star domains, don't go out anymore. The cosmos is vast, just stay in this Wushan Star Domain, and they won't be able to find you."
Zhang Lueying, who was hanging on Zhang Fan, also blinked and said, "Brother, it's so dangerous outside, let's just stay in the Wushan Star Domain."
Zhang Fan gently caressed Zhang Lueying's hair with a smile, then turned to his parents, giving them a reassuring look. "Mom, Dad, don't worry. Since I dared to turn against them, I naturally have the confidence to do so. You don't need to worry."
Seeing the somber atmosphere in the hall, the Blood Demon Flood Dragon exclaimed, "Everyone, cheer up! The Zixiao Star Domain and the Jiuyai Star Domain are nothing. Before Master left, he killed nearly a hundred Void Refinement cultivators from the two star domains. As for the Nascent Soul cultivators, there's no need to mention them; they were no match for Master and could be blown away by a single breath. When Master cultivates for another hundred years, he'll exterminate those two star domains and build an even grander Six Kings' Estate on top of them!"
"Brother Zhang Fan, what is your current cultivation realm?" Ling Xiu, having just reacted, quickly asked.
"I entered the Void Refinement stage not long ago. Within a hundred years, I should be confident of reaching the Dao Integration Immortal King realm."
Upon hearing this, the Six Kings felt their scalps tingle. What kind of prodigy was this? In just over a decade, he had broken through from the Half-step Nascent Soul realm to the Void Refinement stage, and even boasted of reaching the Dao Integration Immortal King realm within a century. No wonder he could remain so calm when facing those two high-level star domains.
"Good! Brother Zhang Fan's talent is truly unparalleled in the world. Since you've finally returned, let's not go home until we're drunk today!" As Ling Xiu signaled, Xiao Kun, standing by, understood his intention and began arranging for maids to bring forth delicacies and fine wine, but Zhang Fan stopped him.
"Since I'm back from the Zixiao Star Domain, how could I not bring some local specialties for everyone? Gather all cultivators at or above the Nascent Soul stage in the Six Kings' Estate. Today, I will arrange it." Zhang Fan said with a hearty laugh.
After speaking, Zhang Fan waved his hand and brought out the corpse of the Sky-Soaring Sacred Elephant. The Sky-Soaring Sacred Elephant, hundreds of meters tall, instantly occupied more than half of the grand hall. Even after death, the aura emanating from the Sky-Soaring Sacred Elephant, a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage in its prime, still made Ling Xiu and the others feel a sense of awe.
"Wuchen, Tianhua, the two of you go and carve up this Sky-Soaring Sacred Elephant and roast it. We'll have a grand feast for everyone today!" Zhang Fan instructed.
"I can arrange this; there's no need to trouble the two of you," Ling Xiu said quickly upon seeing this.
He felt it was somewhat inappropriate to have two Nascent Soul True Immortals roast meat for them.
Zhang Fan smiled and said, "Although this Sky-Soaring Sacred Elephant is dead, its body is still incredibly tough. The people you arrange probably wouldn't even be able to break its skin. Let Wuchen handle it; with his immortal treasure, he can indeed carve up this body."
The Blood Demon Flood Dragon's eyes were filled with greed at the sight of the massive carcass of the Sky-Soaring Sacred Elephant. If it could devour this beast, its cultivation might advance further in a short period.
Zhang Fan had killed so many Void Refinement mighty figures, and he possessed many treasures. Let alone immortal pills and brews, he even had quite a few Grand Dao Treasure Pills. Of course, the most precious among them were the three Dao Sources from the Dao Origin stage.
Thinking of this, Zhang Fan glanced at his parents beside him and Zhang Lueying hanging on him, and an idea formed in his mind.
After more than a decade of rapid development, the Six Kings' Estate now had over a thousand cultivators at or above the Nascent Soul stage. The low-level Nascent Soul cultivators were also very excited; they never expected to have the资格 to sit at the same table with such legendary figures.
In the vast grand hall, tables were set up, and everyone sat together without regard for status. Zhang Fan sat beside his parents and waved his sleeve, instantly placing a pot of fine wine and a large amount of spiritual fruits on each table. The rich aroma of wine permeated the entire hall, making many cultivators intoxicated.
Under the roasting flames of Tianhua Heavenly Lord, a meaty fragrance wafted in from outside the hall. It was served on platters to the tables, making many people impatient.
Zhang Fan looked at the expectant gazes directed at him, smiled slightly, and said, "It's rare to gather with all my brothers today. There's plenty of immortal spirit and immortal fruit for everyone. We won't go home until we're drunk!"
"We won't go home until we're drunk!"
Everyone raised their cups and shouted, their spirits soaring.
