[Ding! Detected a character related to the Son of Fortune — Tian Ming!]
[Name: Tian Ming ]
[Identity: Direct descendant of the Emperor Pass Tian Clan, Mid Quasi-Emperor Realm.]
[Fate's trajectory: A conflict will erupt between him and Ye Tian, the chosen one of destiny, within the Ruins of Immortality.]
[Scenario Prediction: Tian Ming will compete with Ye Tian for a certain immortal artifact in the Longevity Ruins, and will ultimately perish at Ye Tian's hands.]
Lin Fan's gaze lingered on the last line of text for two breaths.
Is it actually related to the Son of Fortune?
interesting!
Then, without changing his expression, he withdrew his gaze, still wearing an expression of great interest. "Which family was destroyed?"
" The Longevity Ye Clan."
Tian Ming's voice was neither loud nor soft, yet it silenced the air in the reception room for a moment. "Back then, the Ye Clan's ancestor once slew two Immortal Dao experts with a single strike, his might shaking the borderlands of the Emperor Pass."
"Unfortunately, the Ye Clan ancestor later perished on the frontier!"
"For some unknown reason, the Ye Clan was wiped out overnight, their ancestral lands sank into the void, and even most of the ancient records were erased."
"Only a few ruins still retain traces of their past."
"Is this forum specifically for one of these ruins?"
"Good."
Tian Ming did not deny it. "That ruin is said to preserve the inheritance of the Ye Clan's ancestors, and may also contain clues related to immortals. Several forces in the Emperor Pass are keeping an eye on it, which is why they wanted to use the Dao Discussion Conference to assess the strength of each party first."
Lin Fan tapped his fingers lightly on the table. "The Dao Discussion Conference... to put it bluntly, it's just a fight, and then we decide who gets into the ruins?"
Tian Ming paused for a moment, then chuckled, "The Imperial Prince is indeed insightful."
Lin Fan said, "It's not that I'm completely insightful, it's just that I've seen too many similar tactics."
Lin Fan stood up, dusted off his robes, and said, "Alright, I'll accept the Dao Discussion Conference. When?"
Tian Ming said, "Six months later, in Immortal Burial City."
" Immortal Burial City... that's a nice name." Lin Fan nodded. "I'll remember it. I'll go then, and I hope the geniuses of your Emperor Pass won't disappoint me."
Looking at his nonchalant demeanor, Tianming Tian Ming a strange sense of complexity rise in his heart.
He wanted to say something, but felt it would be superfluous, so he simply stood up, cupped his hands, and laughed heartily, "Then we await the arrival of the Imperial Prince."
His entourage also rose and bowed.
The two figures paused briefly at the entrance of the reception room before transforming into a streak of silver-gray light and disappearing into the distant sky.
"Your Highness, are you really going?"
The elder glanced at Lin Fan.
"Go, why wouldn't you go?"
Lin Fan leaned against the doorframe, gazing in the direction the two had disappeared, a smile playing on his lips, "The ruins of the Emperor Pass Chang Sheng Lineage's destruction, and they're even related to immortals... This is a very murky place; it would be a shame not to go and see."
He paused, then said in a low voice, "Moreover, Tian Ming... is destined to face a calamity."
Lin Fan stood at the entrance of the reception room, watching the silver-gray streak of light on the horizon completely disappear into the depths of the clouds.
He slowly wiped the smile from his lips.
Tian Ming.
The Emperor Pass Tian Clan.
The system says he will die at Ye Tian's hands in the Longevity Ruins!
This kid might be worth saving, and he could become one of his men...
He's unfamiliar with the Emperor Pass; he needs new subordinates...
No rush.
The most important thing right now is something else entirely.
He turned and walked towards the backyard. " Quasi-Emperor... it's time for a breakthrough."
backyard.
Behind the Lin Clan's house, there is a secluded place for quiet meditation.
It has been sealed by the elders of the past for hundreds of years with an array, and is used by the Lin Clan's core disciples to break through to a higher realm.
Lin Fan sat cross-legged on a blue stone platform.
He was surrounded by layers of Chaos Qi, like a universe compressed in the palm of his hand, enveloping his entire body in a gray-gold halo.
He did not rush to trigger the heavenly tribulation.
First, they took out the Dao Comprehension Stele.
The complete gray-gold stone tablet floated in his palm.
Although the remaining Dao traces on the surface had faded considerably, the ancient and solid Dao aura was still more profound than any of the previous treasures.
"The third Immortal Qi immortal energy... The Ancestor said it's the end of the Sage King Tribulation, the limit of the Heavenly Tribulation."
He closed his eyes, sensing the last wisp of immortal Immortal Dao remaining in the stone tablet. "But I don't intend to wait until I reach the Quasi-Emperor to challenge that limit."
"I will cleave this heavenly tribulation in the Sage King Realm and condense a third strand of Immortal Qi."
If other cultivators in the Three Thousand Provinces heard this, they would probably curse him as crazy on the spot.
Sage King Realm's physical body trying to withstand the ultimate Sage King Tribulation? Even with Immortal Qi protecting it, it's a path of certain death.
But he is none other than himself.
He has accumulated over seven million Villain Points, enough for a lottery, enough to add more points, and enough to make a clear plan for himself.
He spent three days completely refining the last wisp of Daoist essence from the Dao Comprehension Stele into his body.
Within his dantian, two streams of chaotic immortal Immortal Qi, like two swimming dragons, intertwined and coiled, exuding an aura of timelessness.
Then he opened his eyes.
"System, use Villain Points to smash all the breakthrough barriers in the Sage King Realm! I want to break through the limits of the Sage King Realm!"
[Ding! Host has consumed 3 million Villain Points; all cultivation barriers have been shattered.]
[Current Realm: Peak Sage King Realm (Limited State)]
[Note: The host's cultivation has reached the limit of the Sage King Realm. The next breakthrough will trigger a Heavenly Tribulation.]
Lin Fan stood up and stretched his shoulders, the cracking sounds of his bones echoing like popping beans.
"Good."
"It's time to let the people of the Three Thousand Provinces see what a true Heavenly Tribulation is like."
He took a deep breath, and his figure shot up like a white lightning bolt, piercing through the Lin Clan's protective mountain formation and soaring into the heavens.
The moment he soared into the heavens, the sky changed.
First came calm.
The once cloudless blue sky seemed to have been struck from within by an invisible giant hammer, causing a ring of gray-white ripples to spread from its deepest depths.
"Buzz!"
Then, the ripples spread out at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a drop of ink falling into clear water, quickly staining the entire sky.
The dark clouds didn't gather; they appeared out of nowhere.
It surged in from all directions, silent yet carrying a suffocating pressure, swallowing up the daylight inch by inch.
"The Imperial Prince... is undergoing tribulation? No, these tribulation clouds..."
Behind the Lin Clan's mountain, the Eighth Elder suddenly raised his head, and the teacup in his hand crashed to the ground.
Before he could finish speaking, his expression changed.
Not only the elders of the Lin Clan, but also the powerful figures of the various Great Emperor clans and hidden lineages of the Three Thousand Provinces, sensed the heart-palpitating fluctuations deep in the sky at almost the same moment.
Someone stepped out of the cave and looked up at the horizon.
Someone was startled awake from seclusion, and the jade slip in their hand fell onto the futon.
"What... kind of heavenly tribulation is that?"
"The direction of the Lin Clan, the Lin Clan son? He's undergoing the Sage King Tribulation? This is a Sage King Tribulation? Why do I feel like he's undergoing the Emperor Tribulation?"
The discussions spread like a tidal wave.
But no one can provide an answer.
Because the cloud of calamity above the sky no longer resembled a cloud of calamity.
It began to condense and take shape...
It was not in the form of lightning, but rather countless ancient and profound laws intertwined, unfolding layer upon layer deep in the sky, condensing into the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, like nineteen enormous heavenly gates, each more magnificent and profound than the last.
Each of the heavenly gates exudes a completely different aura of destruction.
Some are as fiery as a falling meteor, some as cold as a churning abyss, some as the nothingness eroded by time, and some as the very nature of heaven itself scrutinizing and judging.
