Six Kings' Mansion, Panlong Mountain.
The Six Kings, rarely seen together, were gathered in the main hall. Looking at the group of cultivators beside Zhang Fan, Lin Haotian, Wuchen Sword Immortal, Tianhua Heavenly Monarch, and Liu Mu, who were once considered mere juniors in their eyes, had all now reached the Nascent Soul realm. This caused Ling Xiu to reveal unconcealed envy.
"Brother Zhang Fan, where exactly did you take them to train? To have them all reach the Nascent Soul realm in just over a decade!" Xiao Yi asked with a smile, fixing his gaze on Zhang Fan.
Xiao Yi himself was a person of extraordinary 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 still felt quite dejected.
"It was the star battlefield opened up by the Zi Xiao Star Domain and the Jiu Ya Star Domain. It is indeed a suitable place for training, but it seems you will not be able to go there again," Zhang Fan said with a hint of helplessness.
"Why can't we go again? All six of us brothers are currently stuck at the Half-step Nascent Soul realm. If that star battlefield can help us break through, even if it's more dangerous, we dare to venture there," Shen Feichen also chimed in.
"The Zi Xiao Star Domain and the Jiu Ya Star Domain are two advanced star domains. Within these domains, there are at least hundreds of thousands of Nascent Soul stage cultivators, over a hundred Grand Void stage mighty figures, and even Dao Integration Immortal Kings presiding over them."
As soon as Zhang Fan spoke, Ling Xiu and the others exchanged glances, their eyes betraying their shock.
Currently, in the Wu Shan Star Domain, apart from Zhang Fan and his group, Nascent Soul stage powerhouses were already extinct. The strongest were merely at the Half-step Nascent Soul level. Yet, in the Zi Xiao Star Domain and the Jiu Ya Star Domain, there were at least hundreds of thousands of Nascent Soul stage powerhouses? Over a hundred Grand Void mighty figures? And even the legendary Dao Integration Immortal Kings?
What kind of star domains were these? How could they be so powerful?
"I have offended both of these star domains. It's likely that both of them will arrange for powerful individuals to track my whereabouts, and may even send cultivators skilled in the Great Dao of Karma to deduce my identity. Since you are all close to me, you would likely be discovered the moment you appear within the range 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 Grand Void stage cultivators from the two star domains but also inherited the Dao techniques of the Evil Buddha Divine Venerable. How could those two star domains let him go?
Upon hearing this, the mood of the group immediately became somber. The sheer power of the Jiu Ya Star Domain and the Zi Xiao 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, upon hearing Zhang Fan's words, also showed concern in their eyes. Su Yun further said, "Fan'er, since you've offended those two star domains, don't go out again. This vast expanse of the starry sky is here. Stay in the Wu Shan Star Domain, and they won't be able to find you."
Zhang Lueying, who was hanging on Zhang Fan's body, also blinked and looked at Zhang Fan, saying, "Brother, it's so dangerous outside, let's just stay in the Wu Shan Star Domain."
Zhang Fan gently stroked Zhang Lueying's hair with a smile, then turned to his parents and gave them a reassuring look, saying, "Mom and Dad, don't worry. Since I dared to turn against them, I naturally have the confidence to do so. You don't need to be concerned."
Seeing the somber atmosphere in the hall, the Blood Demon Flood Dragon couldn't help but exclaim, "Everyone, cheer up! The Zi Xiao Star Domain and the Jiu Ya Star Domain are nothing. Before Master left, he killed nearly a hundred Grand Void stage cultivators from both star domains. As for the Nascent Soul stage cultivators, they were no match for Master and could be blown away by a single breath. When Master cultivates for another hundred years, he will destroy those two star domains and build an even grander Six Kings' Mansion there!"
"Brother Zhang Fan, what is your current realm?" Ling Xiu asked, only reacting to this statement.
"I recently entered the Grand Void stage. Within a hundred years, I should be confident in reaching the Dao Integration Immortal King realm."
As soon as these words were uttered, the Six Kings felt a chill run down their spines. What kind of monstrous talent was this? In just over a decade, he had broken through from the Half-step Nascent Soul realm to the Grand Void stage, and even claimed he would reach the Dao Integration Immortal King realm within a century. No wonder he remained calm when facing those two advanced 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 nearby, understood his intention and began to arrange for maids to bring forth delicacies and fine wine, but he was stopped by Zhang Fan.
"Since I've returned from the Zi Xiao Star Domain, how could I not bring some local specialties for everyone? Summon all the cultivators in the Six Kings' Mansion above the Nascent Soul stage. I will make arrangements today," 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, standing hundreds of meters tall, occupied more than half of the main hall. The aura it exuded, even in death, made Ling Xiu and the others tremble.
"Wuchen, Tianhua, you two go and carve and roast this Sky-Soaring Sacred Elephant. Today, we'll have a feast!" Zhang Fan instructed.
"I can arrange this myself. There's no need to trouble the two of you," Ling Xiu quickly said.
He felt it was somewhat inappropriate to have two Nascent Soul True Immortals roast meat for them.
Zhang Fan smiled and said, "Although the Sky-Soaring Sacred Elephant is dead, its body is still incredibly tough. The people you arrange likely wouldn't even be able to break its skin. Let Wuchen do it; with his immortal artifact, he can indeed divide the body."
The Blood Demon Flood Dragon's eyes were filled with greed at the sight of the massive Sky-Soaring Sacred Elephant's body. If it could swallow it, its cultivation might advance further in a short period.
Zhang Fan had killed so many Grand Void mighty figures, and he possessed many treasures. Forget immortal pills and immortal brews, he even had quite a few Dao Origin Pills. Of course, the most precious among them were the Dao Sources from the three Dao Origin stage cultivators.
Thinking of this, Zhang Fan glanced at his parents and Zhang Lueying, who was hanging on him, and an idea formed in his mind.
After more than a decade of rapid development, there were now over a thousand cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage in the Six Kings' Mansion. The lower-level Nascent Soul cultivators were also very excited. They never expected to have the honor of sitting at the same table with such legendary figures.
In the vast hall, tables were laid out, and everyone sat together without regard for status. Zhang Fan sat beside his parents and, with a wave of his sleeve, a pot of fine wine and a large amount of spiritual fruits appeared on each table. The rich aroma of wine permeated the entire hall, intoxicating many cultivators.
Under the scorching of Tianhua Heavenly Monarch's divine fire, a fragrant aroma drifted in from outside the hall. It was served on the tables, making many people impatient.
Zhang Fan looked at the expectant gazes cast upon him, smiled slightly, and said, "It's rare to gather with all my brothers today. Immortal spirits and fruits are plentiful. Let's not go home until we're drunk!"
"Not until we're drunk!"
Everyone raised their cups and shouted, filled with heroic spirit.
