Chapter 938 Secured

While waiting for the Immortal Venerable's cave mansion to appear, Zhang Fan and a few others, including Zhi Wu Xian Wang, appeared quite relaxed. The four gathered together, chatting and discussing the Dao. However, Xian Wang Hei Mu, Xian Wang Shen Yu, Xian Wang Yan Long, and the others were extremely cautious. They believed that Zhang Fan, Zhi Wu Xian Wang, Yan Huang Xian Wang, and Luo He Xian Wang had formed an alliance. Therefore, their group also secretly communicated, plotting to join forces to seize this Immortal Venerable's cave mansion.

"Although the strength of Yama Emperor, Zhi Wu, and Luo He is not weak, we have no need to fear if we join forces. However, the appearance of this stranger is indeed a variable. Looking at his confident demeanor, he seems to have secured this Immortal Venerable's cave mansion, completely disregarding us," Xian Wang Hei Mu glanced at Zhang Fan and transmitted his thoughts to the others.

"This person's aura is perfectly concealed. Even with my secret techniques, I cannot detect his realm or cultivation. Could he be an Immortal Venerable?" Xian Wang Chi Feng's eyes held a look of astonishment.

"Shen Yu, I heard that the Wrathful Heavenly Immortal Venerable of the Five Elements Immortal Sect in the Central Star Domain is in your Shen Yu Star Domain. If that person is too strong, could we ask Immortal Venerable Wrathful Heaven to take action?" Xian Wang Hei Mu turned his gaze to Xian Wang Shen Yu.

Xian Wang Shen Yu looked deeply at Xian Wang Hei Mu, then shook his head and said, "What kind of person is Immortal Venerable Wrathful Heaven? He has already reached the Master Realm, the pinnacle existence below the Immortal Emperor. Even if this Immortal Venerable's cave mansion were placed before him, he would likely not even deign to glance at it."

The Tribulation Stage is divided into three major realms: the Cosmic Realm, the Eternal Realm, and the Master Realm. A Tribulation Immortal Venerable who reaches the Master Realm is only one step away from the Great Ascension Immortal Emperor. It is normal for them to disdain an Immortal Venerable's cave mansion.

"Immortal Venerable Wrathful Heaven might not care for this Immortal Venerable's cave mansion, but this sudden appearance of a mysterious strong individual might pique Immortal Venerable Wrathful Heaven's interest," Xian Wang Hei Mu stated.

After contemplating for a while, Xian Wang Shen Yu nodded, "I will try. I will send word to Immortal Venerable Wrathful Heaven. As for whether he will come, I do not know."

As time passed, more and more powerful cultivators arrived from all directions in the starry sky. However, most of them were merely cultivators in the Harmony Stage of the Heavenly Evolution Realm or the Myriad Manifestation Realm. With their strength, they could not get involved and could only honestly stay on the sidelines and observe.

"Master, with the emergence of this Immortal Venerable's cave mansion, do you require this disciple to contribute?" Luo He Xian Wang's eldest disciple also possessed the strength of the Chaos Realm. Although he was only in the early stage of the Chaos Realm, he had the strength to survive in front of a peak Chaos Realm expert.

Luo He Xian Wang smiled and shook his head, saying, "The ownership of this Immortal Venerable's cave mansion is already decided. There is no need to intervene further."

Zhen Hai Xian Wang did not understand his meaning until he saw Zhang Fan and suddenly understood. With such an invincible expert present, which of the many Xian Wangs present could contend with him?

The dilapidated small universe was about to completely emerge, and the space in this area finally began to stabilize. The atmosphere in the scene instantly became different.

"This Immortal Venerable's cave mansion is currently being contested by two major factions. One side is Zhi Wu Xian Wang, Yama Emperor Xian Wang, Luo He Xian Wang, and that mysterious strong individual."

"The other side consists of six powerful experts: Shen Yu Xian Wang, Yan Long Xian Wang, Luo Yun Xian Wang, Qing Ling Xian Wang, Chi Feng Xian Wang, and Hei Mu Xian Wang. In terms of numbers, Xian Wang Hei Mu's side has an advantage, but looking at the atmosphere on the scene, it seems that Zhi Wu Xian Wang's side has a greater chance of success." Many cultivators in the Harmony Stage, lacking sufficient strength, could only watch from the side but were analyzing the situation on the field.

"Hmph, you wouldn't know this, would you? That mysterious strong individual appeared in the Luo He Domain decades ago. Although he only made one move, with that one move, he defeated Luo He Xian Wang. With him guarding here, Xian Wang Hei Mu's side likely has no hope."

"To defeat Luo He Xian Wang with a single move, doesn't that mean his strength has already surpassed the Harmony Stage? Could he be a Tribulation Immortal Venerable?"

"Whether he is a Tribulation Immortal Venerable is hard to say, but I think if Xian Wang Hei Mu's side does not have strong reinforcements, they alone will not be able to contend."

Although Zhang Fan had only made a move once in the Luo He Domain over the past few decades, he was still remembered by those who paid attention. After all, an expert of this level was enough to change the landscape of a high-level star domain.

"Boom!"

With a surge of intense fluctuations, the Immortal Venerable's cave mansion completely emerged. Xian Wang Hei Mu and the others acted in concert, transforming into streams of light and charging towards the Immortal Venerable's cave mansion.

In contrast, Zhi Wu Xian Wang and the others stood still, watching quietly without making a move. However, there was a hint of anticipation in their eyes. They too wanted to know how far Zhang Fan's cultivation had progressed after decades.

Just as Xian Wang Hei Mu and the others were about to rush into the Immortal Venerable's cave mansion, Zhang Fan softly uttered a single word, "Still!"

The Immortal King-level cultivators, masters of the Great Dao of Space, found their bodies fixed in the void. Then, with a casual wave of Zhang Fan's hand, the massive small universe continuously shrunk, eventually becoming the size of a marble, falling into Zhang Fan's hand.

"What?"

Xian Wang Hei Mu and the others were inwardly terrified at this sight. His ability to make words manifest was effective even against peak Chaos Realm experts. Could he be an Immortal Emperor?

Zhang Fan's current realm had naturally not yet broken through to the Immortal Emperor realm, but he had already passed the Immortal Venerable's tribulation, and his internal universe was close to completion, reaching the Master Realm of the Tribulation Stage.

Zhi Wu Xian Wang and the others were filled with admiration at Zhang Fan's display. They guessed that Zhang Fan might have already passed the Immortal Venerable's tribulation, but they had not expected him to reach this level, where his words commanded everything.

Zhang Fan lightly brushed his hand over the small universe, and a cyan square seal, surrounded by lightning, appeared in his hand, emitting a faint imperial might.

"This is the last piece of the True Thunder Imperial Seal. Only when all eight True Thunder Imperial Seals are fused together will it be a true Immortal Emperor artifact. Separated, it can only be considered a good Tribulation Realm divine weapon, but it is sufficient for Chaos Realm cultivators," Zhang Fan said with a slight sigh, looking at the cyan square seal in his hand, then tossed it to Luo He Xian Wang.

Luo He Xian Wang held it in her hand, unable to conceal her excitement. To Zhang Fan, this True Thunder Imperial Seal was insignificant, but for Luo He Xian Wang, her entire net worth combined might not be as precious as this one True Thunder Imperial Seal.

"Many thanks, Senior," Luo He Xian Wang bowed gratefully.

"It's also a thank you for your guidance of Luo Shui. A Tribulation Realm divine weapon is nothing," Zhang Fan said casually before turning to look at the Xian Wangs he had restrained in the void. "Old ghost Hei Mu, I told you you had no claim to the True Thunder Imperial Seal, why didn't you believe me?"

Xian Wang Hei Mu and the others felt their bodies loosen as the restraining force disappeared, and they could finally move. Facing Zhang Fan's teasing this time, Xian Wang Hei Mu could only frown his wrinkled old face and say with a wry smile, "This junior was blind and did not recognize your eminence. Many thanks for your mercy in not taking my life."

The other Xian Wangs also quickly bowed. Facing an expert who could crush them at will, they had foolishly dared to contend for treasures with him. Fortunately, the other party harbored no killing intent, or they would have already been dead the moment they made their move.

Thinking back now, they felt a wave of trepidation, and at the same time, some confusion. Such a powerful expert, why was he so obscure? They had barely heard of him before. It was truly strange.
