Upon hearing this, Qin Zixuan immediately became anxious and hurriedly asked, "Why?"
A glint of light flashed in Granny An's eyes, but it vanished in an instant. "It's very difficult to return to the lower realm because there's a barrier Upper Immortal Realm and Lower Immortal Realm. This barrier is extremely terrifying. Even I wouldn't dare to force my way through it. If it weren't for some business I had to attend to, I wouldn't have taken such a great risk to enter the Lower Immortal Realm before."
After hearing Granny An's words, a look of disappointment appeared in Qin Zixuan's eyes. She bit her lip, feeling unwilling.
Granny An looked at Qin Zixuan and couldn't help but sigh, "Even if you go back, what good will it do? With your meager strength, are you just going back to your death?"
Qin Zixuan clenched her fists tightly, biting her lip so hard it bled. After a long while, she gradually loosened her grip.
Granny An is right. Even if she goes back, what good will it do? She'll just be going to her death.
Granny An produced a handkerchief and gently wiped the blood from Qin Zixuan's lips.
She smiled slightly and then said, "Right now, you must work hard to improve your strength. Only when you are strong enough will you be able to return to the lower realm."
Qin Zixuan looked up at Granny An, then stood up, and immediately knelt down, "Please, Granny, teach me cultivation!"
As she spoke, her head slowly lowered towards the ground.
Looking at Qin Zixuan, Granny An smiled, "Alright, alright, I'll teach you cultivation!"
As soon as she finished speaking, an invisible force lifted Qin Zixuan up.
Qin Zixuan, her eyes red-rimmed, called out, "Grandma."
Granny An smiled and said, "I can teach you cultivation, but you must become a holy maiden of my Guanghan Palace."
Qin Zixuan nodded and said, "Okay!"
Granny An's smile grew even brighter.
Qin Zixuan then said, "Grandma, the reason you brought me to the Upper Immortal Realm and made me the Holy Maiden of the Guanghan Palace must be because I have something special about me, right?"
"Oh?"
Granny An looked surprised. "Why do you say that?"
Qin Zixuan said, "Grandma, you also said that there is a barrier between the Upper Immortal Realm and the Lower Immortal Realm. Even if you were to break through this barrier alone, it would be very difficult. But you still brought me with you. If I didn't have anything special about me, I really don't know why you went to so much trouble to bring me to the Upper Immortal Realm."
After listening to Qin Zixuan's words, Granny An nodded, her gaze towards Qin Zixuan growing increasingly satisfied. "You're quite clever, girl."
Qin Zixuan smiled slightly, "Am I right?"
Granny An nodded, "Yes!"
Qin Zixuan asked, "What's so special about me?"
Granny An said, "You possess the Frost Divine Physique!"
Qin Zixuan asked in confusion, " Frost Divine Physique?"
Granny An nodded and said, " The Frost Divine Physique..."
After that, Granny An explained the power of the Frost Divine Physique.
After hearing Granny An's words, Qin Zixuan was shocked. "This Frost Divine Physique is that powerful?"
Granny An laughed and said, "Of course! With my guidance on cultivation and the Frost Divine Physique, I believe it won't be long before you surpass me!"
Qin Zixuan clenched her fists, still feeling somewhat excited.
Granny An asked, "Would you like to rest for a few days first, or start cultivating with me now?"
Qin Zixuan didn't hesitate and immediately said, "Now!"
Granny An smiled and said, "Okay!"
With that, she grabbed Qin Zixuan's hand and disappeared.
Time flies, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
Lower Immortal Realm.
At this moment, Su Chen was standing next to a tombstone. He rested his chin on one hand and placed the other on his chest, his gaze fixed on the tombstone.
Several lines of blood-written words were engraved on the tombstone.
[I am the Blood Moon Immortal Venerable. I perished due to the machinations of a villain. Though I have fallen, I still harbor resentment. Therefore, I have left behind my legacy here. Anyone who passes the test will receive my inheritance!]
Su Chen looked at the tombstone, a slight smile playing on his lips. "This guy's inheritance is not bad; it's suitable for Xiao Fan."
With that, he turned and disappeared.
Inside a secluded cave, Lin Fan sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. He was covered in wounds, and blood was still flowing from the corner of his mouth.
"Puff!"
At this moment, Lin Fan suddenly opened his eyes, then coughed up a mouthful of blood. Without hesitation, he quickly took out a pill and put it in his mouth, then closed his eyes again.
As time passed, Lin Fan's injuries finally began to heal somewhat.
He slowly opened his eyes, his face looking somewhat pale.
At this moment, he felt extremely distressed. Why? Because he was being hunted down by various forces, both large and small.
What bothered him most was that he had only been in the Lower Immortal Realm for two days when a force called the Shen Clan came to hunt him down for no reason, and the Shen Clan caused him a lot of suffering.
Lin Fan gritted his teeth and roared, "You Shen Clan, I, Lin Fan, am not finished with you!"
Liu Mengli's voice rang out, "It's probably your inhuman master who ordered them to do this."
Lin Fan was taken aback, then fell silent. After a moment, he smiled bitterly and said, "It seems only my master could do something like this. I knew it! I have no grudge against the Shen Clan, so why are they hunting me down?"
With that, he sighed deeply and said helplessly, "I'm truly defeated!"
"Oh? Talking badly about your teacher behind my back again?" At this moment, a chilling voice reached Lin Fan's ears.
Lin Fan's face stiffened, and he slowly looked up, only to see Su Chen looking at him with a smile.
Lin Fan forced a smile and said in a trembling voice, "Master... Master, why... why have you come?"
Su Chen laughed and said, "Can't I just come to see you?"
Lin Fan quickly shook his head, "No, no, how could that be? Of course Master can come to see me."
Su Chen shook his head and said bitterly, "Alas, it's been so long since we last met, and I've missed you terribly. That's why I came here specifically to find you. But I never expected that my precious disciple would speak ill of me behind my back. It's truly Human Heart!"
Upon hearing Su Chen's words, Lin Fan immediately panicked and hurriedly said, "I didn't, I didn't say anything bad about Master! Master, please don't slander your disciple!"
"Snort!"
Su Chen snorted coldly, looking at Lin Fan. "You've already said it, why are you still trying to deny it? It seems you're getting cocky now that you have some strength. Today I'll see how much you've accomplished in your cultivation these past few years."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Chen's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot!
It's over!
Lin Fan's expression changed drastically. The next moment, his face twisted into a grimace, and his entire body bent into a bow shape before he crashed into the wall like a cannonball.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
With several loud bangs, Lin Fan's body pierced through several mountain peaks!
Lying on the ground, he was curled up, veins bulging on his forehead, his expression one of extreme pain, and his body was cracking, forming a spiderweb shape.
Liu Mengli, hiding within Lin Fan's sea of consciousness, gasped, "Are you sure this disciple is really his biological child?"
Su Chen appeared in front of Lin Fan, scratched his head, and said apologetically, "Please clasp my hands in respect. I accidentally lost control of my strength. But you're too weak! You couldn't handle just one light punch. You've embarrassed your master."
Lin Fan: "..."
Liu Mengli: "..."
