Rapid Progress

The Diming Realm.

News of the complete annihilation of the Xuanyuan Family's army quickly reached back!

Instantly, the major powers of the Diming Realm were all taken aback.

"What? The entire Xuanyuan Family was wiped out?"

"The head of the Xuanyuan Family, I remember he's already at the eighth level of the Golden Immortal realm, right? To be able to kill him... the natives of this new world are quite powerful!"

"The Xuanyuan Family serves as a cautionary tale; rash action is risky! Perhaps forming an allied force is indeed the wisest choice!"

For a time, the various forces in the Diming Realm actually reached a consensus because of this matter!

Previously, some forces that wanted to act alone abandoned their ideas and joined the coalition advocated by the Xuanming Imperial Dynasty!

Xuanming Imperial Dynasty, Imperial Capital.

"The Wang Family Patriarch, a Golden Immortal-level Aristocratic Clan, has arrived!"

"The Golden Immortal-level sect, Jinguang Sect, has arrived!"

"The Old Emperor of the Chen Imperial Dynasty has arrived!"

All the major forces have gathered here!

There were dozens of Golden Immortal-level forces, and countless Emperors, Sect Master, and family heads!

There are nearly a hundred Golden Immortal level figures!

This is the source of the confidence of the Diming Realm Alliance!

Even though the Diming Realm is part of the Earth Character Realm, it is considered a medium-sized world in the lower realms.

"Your Xuanming Emperor, we may depart!"

The Old Emperor of the Chen Imperial Dynasty spoke, already impatient.

"All the major powers have arrived; there's no need to wait any longer!"

The Sect Master of the Jinguang Sect also spoke up.

Xuanming Imperial Lord Zhao Chenxing, immediately stood up and said, "Void Sea Fleet, assemble! Allied Forces, depart!"

Instantly, countless void sea ships from major powers in the Diming Realm took to the air!

At first glance, they were densely packed, numbering nearly ten thousand!

Nearly ten thousand void sea ships suddenly set off from the seas of the Diming Realm in a certain direction!

At the same time, as the allied forces of the Diming Realm began their advance, a grand hall suddenly appeared in the imperial palace of the Xuanming Imperial Dynasty of the Diming Realm.

Senluo Branch Hall!

Lin Wenshi, the branch hall master, stepped out, followed by eight elders with terrifying auras!

"The cannon fodder have already been deployed; we should follow suit and secretly observe just how complex that new world truly is..."

Lin Wenshi spoke, took a step, and the group of people had already disappeared!

Now.

Heaven.

Taiyan Holy Land.

People from all the major leagues have already gathered here.

The people from the Heavenly General Hall also gathered together.

"We know nothing about the Diming Realm."

"However, judging from their vanguard, this generation is very strong, and we cannot be careless!"

The Yuanyang Holy Lord spoke, saying, "I suggest we mobilize all forces and engage them in battle beyond the realm!"

Everyone nodded!

"This concerns the very survival of the entire Celestial Realm; we must go all out!"

"This is also a test; it's time to prove our strength!"

Let's fight!

In the Heavenly General Hall, many people also spoke up.

Having received the immortal inheritance and through their recent cultivation, everyone felt a significant improvement, and it was time for a battle to test and hone their skills.

"Furthermore, given the magnitude of this matter, I feel we should still report it to Senior Li..."

Dugu Chenlu then spoke.

Huo Ling'er and Mu Qianning nodded and said, "We will go and pay our respects to Senior Li shortly!"

Small Mountain Village.

In the Small Courtyard.

After some time, Li Fan's group of apprentices made new progress.

"One sword cleaves the heavens! One sword cleaves the heavens!"

Dugu Yuqing held the "Chicken Feather Brush" in his hand, muttering to himself.

He was experiencing, combining the Heaven-Opening Sword Strike that Li Fan had once demonstrated, and the feeling he had when he held the Broken Sword of the Wuji Immortal King in the Immortal Dao Palace!

A surge of invincible sword intent welled up within me!

He drew it in one stroke!

The stroke of the pen makes the word "" on the rice paper look like a silver-hook iron painting!

In that instant, the Wuji Broken Sword tucked at his waist rang softly!

His entire aura suddenly erupted!

"A Golden Immortal?!"

For a moment, all the disciples stared at him in astonishment!

Dugu Yuqing... has entered the Golden Immortal Realm!

"Master's arrangement for Junior Brother Dugu to go on this trip has indeed yielded remarkable results. His sword intent is already faintly showing the prototype of Master's Heaven-Opening Sword Strike..."

While Qing Chen and sweeping, I couldn't help but speak.

Beside him, Nan Feng seemed to be inspired by Dugu Yuqing's sword intent, and a zither melody began to play!

Within the sound of the zither, an unparalleled sword intent unexpectedly emerged.

This was precisely the sword intent of Dugu Yuqing just now!

As her zither music faded, it sounded like a divine sword ringing out. The crowd couldn't distinguish it from Dugu Yuqing's sword intent from before!

"The sword intent from before was perfectly replicated... Senior Sister Nan Feng's zither music is terrifying."

As Nan Feng's melody faded, everyone was astonished.

Moreover, she herself had already entered the Golden Immortal Realm several days ago, becoming the first Golden Immortal among all her disciples!

"With a single stroke, one can annihilate immortal beings; to achieve this, one must have a profound understanding of one's own world..."

Ziling, on the other hand, was painting, contemplating the brilliance of Li Fan's single stroke that day, which King of Immortality...

After a long while, she began to write!

A vivid scene immediately appeared: it was also a red sun, but the red sun she painted today seemed to have come alive, illuminating a world!

"Ziling has also reached the Golden Immortal Realm thanks to her painting skills..."

Everyone gasped in surprise.

On the contrary, Long Zixuan and Qing Chen did not make much of a move.

However, one day, as the carp swam in the pond, Long Zixuan's nine flawless golden dragon souls resounded with earth-shaking power... Only Nan Feng's zither music could suppress him!

Qing Chen, unassuming and unassuming, yet with every sweep of his broom, Dao Rhyme arose, making him seem unfathomable...

Only Lu Rang, whose cultivation level is still stuck at the Profound Immortal Realm, foolishly spends all his time planting plants, completely obsessed!

However, no one dared to underestimate him; on the contrary, the potted plant he was now cultivating was something that made everyone wary!

After all, that grass was nourished by the ashes of the King of Immortality...

"This guy, could he really grow into a King of Immortality? That would be terrifying..."

Gongya looked at Lu Rang and spoke softly, murmuring to herself.

She carried a cup of tea and stepped forward to pour it for Li Fan with utmost respect.

Li Fan was teaching Xin Ning to read poetry when he paused slightly and said:

"Gongya, do you know the True Intention of tea?"

Gongya was taken aback, but then shook her head and said, "Gongya doesn't know."

These past few days, she's been following Li Fan around, learning how to brew tea. She's vaguely sensed that there seems to be True Intention to it, but she hasn't quite grasped it yet.

"Ordinary people often go through a lot of fancy etiquette when brewing tea, but the process is actually very simple."

"Brewing tea, in essence, is simply boiling water to extract the aroma and fragrance of the tea leaves. Therefore, as long as you can distinguish the quality of the tea leaves, choose the appropriate water temperature, and steep for a sufficient amount of time, it's that simple."

Upon hearing this, a sudden inspiration flashed through Gongya's mind.

"Boiling water brings out the delicate fragrance of tea leaves..."

She murmured.

Suddenly, the Cultivation Method began to operate on its own within her body.

"At the Great Luo Golden Devil Realm, from the first to the Ninth Heaven, I have always cultivated Great Luo Demonic Qi. Now, the Great Luo Demonic Qi within my body is already in a very abundant state... The next step is to cultivate a wisp of Primordial Demonic Qi from the rich Great Luo Demonic Qi..."

"Only by achieving this can one become immortal and attain the Dao of the Devil Lord!"

"And what the master said about using boiling water to bring out the fragrance of tea, could it be that he is instructing me to let all the Great Luo Demonic Qi... be 'cooked' like tea leaves?"

She seemed to realize something; the demonic energy within her body was slowly undergoing some kind of change!

"Gongya understands, thank you for your guidance, Master!"

She spoke gratefully to Li Fan.

"Gongya has improved..."

Xin Ning also noticed something, her big eyes darting around.

"Qian Ning and the others have come to pay their respects to Senior Li."

Outside, the voices of Mu Qianning and the others could be heard.

"Please come in."

Li Fan spoke, and Mu Qianning, Huo Ling'er, and the others immediately came over.

Upon entering, they sensed the presence of many of Li Fan's disciples, which greatly surprised them.

"Senior Li's group of outstanding students seem to have made astonishing progress..."

The Yuanyang Holy Lord murmured.

"It seems that it won't be long before Senior Li's disciples appear in the conquest of the heavens..."

Dugu Chenlu seemed to have thought of something.

"What brings you here? How have things been going lately?"

Li Fan smiled as he looked at Mu Qianning and the others.

Mu Qianning said, "Reporting to Senior, since you sent Young Master Lu Rang Young Master and Dugu Yuqing Young Master help us last time, our situation has been excellent, and almost all the other alliances have joined us!"

Li Fan was quite pleased to hear this.

This means that Mu Qianning and her group's business has expanded further.

The better the other party's business is, the more beneficial it is for me!

After all, Li Fan was still worried about finding an apprentice.

This time, they let Lu Rang, that big mouth, go with them, but they didn't bring anyone back.

"Senior, however, recently someone has been sailing from the Void Sea, attempting to seize control of the Celestial Realm..."

Huo Ling'er continued, "We have suppressed their first probing attack, but we anticipate an even fiercer offensive from them!"

Li Fan was stunned when he heard this.

Sailing from the Void Sea...

The Void Sea was simply an unattainable concept for him...

Is the world of cultivators really this vast and magnificent?

Even doing business can span the globe.

As an ordinary mortal, I know nothing about such things. If I weren't an expert in calligraphy and painting, I wouldn't even be qualified to hear about them...

The fact that Mu Qianning and the others came to visit clearly indicated that they had come seeking help again.

Those who come from other worlds to compete for business will inevitably engage in a fierce contest in the arts of calligraphy and painting.

"I see,"

Li Fan spoke, looking at Ziling beside him, and said, "Ling girl, are you going this time?"

Of all the apprentices who can help, Dugu Yuqing, who studies calligraphy, has already been sent out once. This time, let Ziling, who studies painting, go out and take a look...

Upon hearing this, Ziling, who was standing next to her, was momentarily stunned.

"Ah... me, me?"

She was somewhat surprised.

Li Fan said, "Okay, go ahead -- winning or losing isn't important, the main thing is that this is also an opportunity to test yourself."

Upon hearing this, Ziling immediately understood that her master was testing her!

"Alright, Ziling obeys~~~"

She stood up and said, "But Master, I am not yet able to fully use your pen..."

Although she had already reached the Golden Immortal Realm, she was still far from being able to wield Li Fan's paintbrush!

If a major war were to break out in the outside world, she feared her spiritual power wouldn't be able to sustain it.

Upon hearing this, Li Fan immediately turned his gaze to the flock of chickens beside him.

"Then I'll make you another one."

After saying that, he got up and started plucking chicken feathers again!

When the chickens over there saw Li Fan walk over, they all squatted on the ground obediently, not daring to move at all.

Before long, he had plucked a tuft of hair, made a pen, and handed it to Ziling, saying, "Try this."

Ziling immediately took it and held it in her hand. She felt a surge of boundless, intense heat!

She felt... as if she were holding a sun in her hands!

"Senior Sister Ziling... the 'Chicken Feather Brush' made by Master is extremely powerful..."

Dugu Yuqing spoke, saying, "Congratulations."

Upon hearing this, Ziling went berserk and shouted, "Don't you dare say mine is Chicken Feather Brush!"

"Mine... mine should be called 'Phoenix Feather Brush'!"

Beside him, Li Fan also spoke thoughtfully, saying, "Hmm... Phoenix Feather Brush sounds nice, let's call it Phoenix Feather Brush."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yuqing's face immediately turned green.

They're all the same pen, so why call yours Chicken Feather Brush sounds so awful!

"Ah... no, I want to rename my pen too, I want to call it... Phoenix Heaven Brush!"

He protested!
