"Beyond Three Thousand Provinces... lies the Emperor Pass."
"Beyond the Emperor Pass, there is a much longer road ahead."
"The celestial fire you took was originally reserved by someone."
As the Five-Crown King finished speaking, the air in the stadium suddenly became quieter.
Gu Chen tightened his grip on the broken halberd.
Ji Kun opened his mouth, but no words came out.
The Five-Crown King's eyes showed seriousness. "This person is troublesome even for me! You'll be in big trouble if you take it."
Lin Fan asked in surprise, "What kind of important figure is worth your fear, you Five-Crown King?"
The Five-Crown King declared, "There are people beyond people, heavens beyond heavens, and beyond the Three Thousand Provinces lies the Emperor Pass!"
Emperor Pass!
It's the Emperor Pass again!
Lin Fan's eyes flickered slightly; he had naturally heard of the Emperor Pass!
Beyond the Three Thousand Provinces lies a No Man's Land. It is said that only by passing through this No Man's Land can one enter the legendary Emperor Pass!
The Emperor Pass is shrouded in mystery for the entire Three Thousand Provinces!
It's practically taboo!
Only those with cultivation levels above the Saint Realm are qualified to know!
I've heard that Emperor Pass was once a vast continent that was shattered by the Immortal Domain, and it's even more magnificent than the Three Thousand Provinces of the Desolate Ancient Land! I've also heard that any powerful figure who leaves Emperor Pass could sweep across the Three Thousand Provinces.
To be honest, Lin Fan had only heard of the Emperor Pass from ancient records.
I wonder how the Lin Clan's resources compare to those of the Emperor Pass?
Back then, the Three Thousand Provinces were in chaos. The Asura Clan launched an ancient calamity. It is said that in addition to the Lin Clan bringing out the Immortal Annihilation Formation, people from the No Man's Land and the Emperor Pass also came to quell the Asura Clan.
The Asura Clan was defeated and placed under house arrest in the restricted area.
If it weren't for the fact that the Asura Clan's powerful warriors had also achieved great feats in the ancient battle, and the dire situation at the Emperor Pass...
The powerful forces then decided to send most of the Asura Clan's strongest members to the front lines of the Emperor Pass.
This single battle reveals the mystery of Emperor Pass...
However, Lin Fan was very confident in his abilities, sweeping aside his peers...
Whether it's the Emperor Pass or the Immortal Domain.
Lin Fan remained calm, even managing a yawn. "Heh, what is he? Opportunities and treasures belong to those with the ability!"
"He said he'd make a reservation, and then he did?"
"I, the Emperor, also declared that the entire Immortal Domain belongs to me!"
"So arrogant!"
The Five-Crown King looked at his nonchalant expression and suddenly laughed.
There was a hint of admiration in that smile, but also a subtle, complex emotion. "You'll know who he is when you reach the Emperor Pass."
"However, there's one thing I can make clear beforehand."
"He's beyond your current level of ability to handle."
His tone was flat, sounding like a reminder, yet also like a test.
Lin Fan patted off non-existent dust from his robes and smiled dismissively.
The Five-Crown King looked at him for a while, then suddenly nodded slightly. "Interesting. I've lived through five eras, seen many who swept through their contemporaries, and also seen many who fell halfway through. You're quite different from them."
Lin Fan glanced at it and said indifferently, "You're not so bored as to make a special trip just to say this, are you?"
A ruthless figure who has dominated the charts for five eras couldn't possibly have such a simple goal...
The Five-Crown King was silent for a moment.
Then he turned around, and a serious look finally appeared in his usually calm eyes. "You're half right."
"I didn't come here specifically to remind you."
I'm here to confirm something.
Lin Fan raised an eyebrow. "Confirm what?"
The Five-Crown King's gaze fell upon him, as if weighing a sword. "To see if you're qualified to reach the forty-fifth level."
Lin Fan's lips curled up slightly. "Oh? What's so special about level 45?"
The Five-Crown King did not give a direct answer.
He simply looked up at the sky shrouded in chaotic mist deep within the Immortal Ancient Ruins and slowly said, "After the forty-fifth level, there is a Legendary Ancient Road."
"That path requires multiple physical constitutions and supreme bloodlines to unlock."
"This ancient road has many paths, and at the end of each path may lie an unimaginable destiny."
Lin Fan raised an eyebrow. "Is this why you're here? To find a partner?"
The Five-Crown King nodded. "That's right, if... you can reach level 45, perhaps we could cooperate!"
Lin Fan thought for a moment and said, "Your original choice was Wang Teng?"
Everyone knows that the Five-Crown King went to see Wang Teng...
Lin Fan guessed that it might be related to this.
The Five-Crown King said, "That's right, but he's too weak. If he loses, the spot will naturally go to you!"
Lin Fan listened but did not rush to answer.
He tilted his head, as if pondering, "What is the greatest fortune?"
The Five-Crown King didn't hide anything. "It's very likely that he possesses a complete Immortal King, or perhaps some other fortuitous opportunity."
"But what is certain is that that place has existed since the Immortal Ancient Era!"
Lin Fan was silent for a moment, then smiled, "Okay, I agree."
The Five-Crown King didn't seem surprised, simply nodding. "Very good, I wasn't wrong about you. Get to level 45 as soon as possible. The window of opportunity to open this path is very short; if you miss it, you'll have to wait for the next cycle of time."
After saying that, he turned and walked away into the distance. "I'll be waiting for you at level forty-five."
His figure gradually blurred under the gray sky, eventually disappearing into a crimson mist.
"Interesting!"
Lin Fan stood there, watching him leave, the smile on his face slowly fading. " The Emperor Pass... the Legendary Ancient Road..."
" The Immortal King's Dojo..."
He stroked his chin and muttered to himself, "This pool is getting deeper and deeper, but the deeper the water, the bigger the fish."
He turned and walked towards Gu Chen and Ji Kun: "Let's go, it's time to move on to the next level."
Ji Kun quickly caught up, his complexion not yet fully recovered. "Your Highness, how much of what the Five-Crown King said just now... do you believe?"
I believe it completely.
Lin Fan continued walking, "He had no reason to come all this way to lie to me."
Gu Chen walked over, the broken halberd slung over his shoulder, his expression somewhat grave. "Your Highness, are you really planning to cooperate with him?"
"Cooperate?"
Lin Fan tilted his head and chuckled, "Just because he says he wants to cooperate, does that mean I have to cooperate with him? Wouldn't that make me lose face?"
Gu Chen was taken aback. "Then you..."
Lin Fan's lips curled up. "Let's take a look at that Legendary Ancient Road first. As for whether or not to cooperate... that depends on his sincerity."
Lin Fan also felt some pressure.
He's the main villain, and what he needs is to be invincible and crush everyone, so he needs to be even stronger. He opens the system panel, a flash of light appears before his eyes, and lines of data appear.
[Host: Lin Fan ]
[Cultivation Level: Early Sage King Realm ]
[ Villain Points: 5.6 million]
[Currently Mastered Supernatural Powers: True Dragon Precious Technique (Beginner), Kunpeng Treasure Technique (Beginner), Phoenix Precious Technique (Beginner), Six Paths of Reincarnation Heavenly Art (Beginner), Heaven-Slaying Sword-Drawing Technique (Minor Mastery), Hunyuan Fist (Minor Mastery)...]
"Over five million Villain Points..."
Lin Fan sat cross-legged on a crimson rock, gently tapping his knee with his fingers.
Over this period of time, by sweeping past Wang Teng and crushing Ye Chen, and obtaining the Purifying Lotus Immortal Flame, he has accumulated a considerable number of Villain Points.
"It's time to upgrade our combat strength."
He opened the system panel and pondered for a moment.
Having just broken through to the Sage King Realm, his foundation still needs to be solidified, so there's no rush to continue striving for higher levels.
In comparison, the power of the three major Ten Ferocious Beasts' Treasure Techniques still has a lot of room for improvement.
The True Dragon Precious Technique, Kunpeng Treasure Technique, and Phoenix Precious Technique are currently only at the beginner level. If they can be improved to the minor level and combined with the Six Paths of Reincarnation Heavenly Art, their power will be enough to achieve a qualitative change.
