Best Young Master

Drifting in the vast star domain for an unknown duration, finally seeing a planet with life, Ye Fan felt that apart from the Bai Yan wolf, no one else could understand this feeling.

It’s a wild joy after despair. Originally thought there was no hope, but unexpectedly, a sudden turn of events brought new hope.

He didn’t care whether there were cultivators on this ancient star of life, or even if there were humans. As long as there was life on this star, that was enough.

It’s getting closer!

He could see this green planet growing larger before his eyes, making Ye Fan extremely excited!

From space, Earth appears as a blue planet, but this is a green planet. This suggests that the ocean area on this planet is not large, but the green land area is vast, with most areas covered with green vegetation.

Even closer!

Ye Fan was nervous amidst the excitement, constantly adjusting the direction of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown, fearing it might pass by this ancient star of life.

"Boom!"

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown seemed to break through some barrier, and its speed suddenly slowed down.

Ye Fan took one step out with the Bai Yan wolf, exiting the virtual space, descending toward the planet with his own divine power.

At this moment, Ye Fan suddenly sensed a familiar aura, and the Bai Yan wolf howled spectrally.

"This is the Immortal Secret Realm, the Immortal Secret Realm of the Immortal Academy!"

They sensed the aura of the Immortal Secret Realm. Ye Fan had cultivated in the Immortal Secret Realm for a year, and the Bai Yan wolf had stayed in this secret realm for a longer time. They never expected that the Immortal Secret Realm was not on the Linxian Ancient Star but had moved to another planet.

Since they had arrived on the planet where the Immortal Secret Realm was located, it was easy. Through the transmission array in the Immortal Secret Realm, they could return to the Immortal Academy.

At this moment, Ye Fan’s expression was excited, and the Bai Yan wolf was so excited that it barked joyfully—these were tears of happiness from surviving desperation!

Originally, they had lost all hope, and unexpectedly, they inadvertently arrived on the planet where the Immortal Secret Realm was located.

As Ye Fan and the Bai Yan wolf were descending to the ancient star of life, the Immortal Secret Realm remained unchanged. Some young cultivators who had exchanged for cultivation time in the Immortal Secret Realm were diligently cultivating.

The teachers of the Immortal Academy were carefully guiding their cultivation, imparting cultivation insights and experiences left by ancient sages.

No one noticed the changes occurring in the forbidden area at the northeast corner of the secret realm, which resembled a low hill or a mound.

Hoo!

Suddenly, the ground shook, and the low hill split open from the middle, shooting out a mystic light as thick as a mountain ridge, piercing the barrier of the Immortal Secret Realm and striking toward the distant sky.

Hmm?

In an instant, Ye Fan sensed immense danger, moved his feet, and returned to the virtual space with the Bai Yan wolf to evade.

The mystic light instantly enveloped the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown, emitting a powerful suction force, like a black hole in the universe, forcibly pulling the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown away.

Although Ye Fan could perceive everything happening outside, he didn’t know how to stop it. Even after exhausting every method, he couldn’t alter the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown’s course in the slightest.

Compared to that powerful suction force, Ye Fan’s strength was too meager, like trying to stop a chariot with ants, shaking a tree with insects!

Realizing it was impossible to resist such formidable power, Ye Fan could only give up and resign himself to fate.

...

Meanwhile, the entire Immortal Secret Realm was in an uproar!

The Immortal Secret Realm had been peaceful for so many years, with never any abnormalities. This sudden event threw the teachers of the Immortal Academy into panic.

The news quickly spread throughout the Immortal Secret Realm. Some disciples were immediately arranged for urgent evacuation, and the Dean Old Immortal of the Immortal Academy received the news right away.

The Immortal Secret Realm was the most confidential part of the Immortal Academy, absolutely crucial and not tolerating any mishaps.

The moment he received the news, the Old Immortal appeared in the Immortal Secret Realm.

But the low hill in the Immortal Secret Realm was a forbidden zone, the forbidden zone within the forbidden zone. Even he, as a Quasi-Emperor, dared not explore it easily.

Unexpectedly, something had gone wrong there, causing him immense worry!

Especially since Ye Fan had been lost in the Emperor’s Secret Realm due to a broken altar, which infuriated him, almost causing a fallout with Seng Dao Yan.

If not for Elder Lin mediating, the Old Immortal might have turned the entire Imperial Academy upside down in anger.

"You all keep away from here. I will take the risk to investigate and see if there’s any hidden danger. If not, that’s for the best. If there is, even if we have to abandon this place, we must ensure the disciples’ safety."

The Old Immortal dismissed the other teachers and cautiously approached the low hill, taking each step with extreme care.

When this Secret Realm was discovered, it was already a Forbidden Land. The Immortal Academy had once sent several powerful teachers to explore this small mountain, but it was as if they had disappeared without a trace, not a single piece of information came out.

After losing several teachers in succession, the Immortal Academy finally declared this place as an absolute Forbidden Land, strictly prohibiting anyone from approaching it.

"Boom!"

In the Virtual Space, there was a violent tremor, as if an earthquake had occurred, and then it gradually calmed down. Ye Fan extended his senses to examine his surroundings and to his surprise, he found himself inside the belly of the mountain, in a vast area.

Upon a rough perception, Ye Fan discovered that this mountain belly was etched with a Space Array, a Sumeru and Mustard Seed formation, forming a vast space.

Moreover, this vast space was filled with a terrifying murderous aura, it turned out to be a massive Killing Array.

Ye Fan attempted to take a Half-step, sticking half of his body out of the Virtual Space, intending to probe the true power of this Killing Array.

His Treasure Body was nearly comparable to a Saint, extremely tough, ordinary Killing Arrays would definitely be unable to harm him, and he also had the Chasing Star Step, this unparalleled fast movement technique, allowing him to quickly retreat if he sensed something was wrong.

However, just as half of his body protruded from the Killing Array, countless Killing Lights abruptly shot out, and with a bang, shattered half of his body.

"Ah..."

Ye Fan let out a miserable scream, quickly retreated, then activated a secret technique, gathering the shattered flesh and blood, reversing the blood flow, regenerating flesh and blood.

After expending some Primordial Essence, Ye Fan finally completed his regeneration, but he broke out in a cold sweat, luckily he didn’t stick his head out, otherwise, not even his Divine Sense would remain, he would have died thoroughly.

"Isn’t your Treasure Body quite tough? How could this happen?"

Bai Yan wolf, not believing it, extended a large paw out of the Virtual Space, only to withdraw with a miserable howl, the large paw already missing.

"Damn it, what kind of Killing Array is this, how can it be so powerful?"

Bai Yan wolf cursed incessantly after regenerating a new paw.

It’s personally a Grandmaster Level expert in Array Patterns, having researched various Killing Arrays, being able to injure it, is definitely not an ordinary Killing Array.

"It’s definitely an Emperor Level Killing Array, and it might not be an intact Killing Array, otherwise just now, your life would not have been spared. A complete Emperor Level Killing Array can be described as killing gods when gods block, executing Buddhas when Buddhas block."

After cursing for a while, Bai Yan wolf came to its senses and stated with certainty.

"How about it, can it be unraveled?"

Ye Fan asked, right now he could only rely on Bai Yan wolf, because in the study of Array Patterns, he was far inferior to its mastery.

"Of course, who am I? I, the King, roam the lands with nobody able to block my path. Even if it’s an Emperor’s Killing Array, as long as you give me time, I can unravel it the same!" Bai Yan wolf spoke with full confidence.

"Then hurry up, I don’t want to be trapped in this Virtual Space when we’ve made it to the Immortal Secret Realm," Ye Fan said.

"Hmm, now that you mention it, if we are indeed in the Immortal Secret Realm now, then where is the most likely place we’d be?" Bai Yan wolf looked at Ye Fan and asked.

"Hmm?"

Ye Fan was taken aback, then after pondering for a moment, his body shuddered, just about to speak, Bai Yan wolf said first: "That’s right, seems like you’ve thought of it too, we should be inside the Immortal Tomb—it’s that mound you told me to pay special attention to."

Ye Fan nodded, he had also thought of this point, the so-called Immortal Tomb may not bury an Immortal, but very likely a Great Emperor.

Based on their current situation, this conjecture was absolutely correct, this Immortal Tomb indeed buries a Great Emperor, but which one is unknown.

Furthermore, only an Emperor’s Tomb could possibly draw an Emperor Weapon into it, but it’s absolutely impossible for it to be the Nine Heavens Xuan Emperor, otherwise, the Ling Family should already know.

"Let’s begin then, whether we can get out depends on you," Ye Fan addressed Bai Yan wolf.

Honestly speaking, Ye Fan didn’t completely trust this unreliable fellow, but right now there was no choice but to stake everything on it, just hoping that this time it could be more reliable.

With lives at stake, Bai Yan wolf was also more cautious this time, through the outward perception of Ye Fan, it traced every single Array Pattern of the Killing Array.

Bai Yan wolf studied them one by one, then comprehended the combination method, which took considerable time.

Under its full endeavor in comprehension, it finally got the Killing Array mostly deciphered after three days, then directly swallowed a bean-sized top-grade Spirit Stone to restore some Divine Power.

"How is it?" Ye Fan inquired.

"I’ve mostly got it; we can give it a try! Just follow the positions I tell you, not the slightest bit off, and the Killing Array won’t harm you at all." Bai Yan wolf declared confidently, coaxing Ye Fan to test the array with his own body.

"Why don’t you try it yourself? Trying to push me to find the way, you’ve got some nerve. You comprehended the Array Patterns, you should know best how to walk it, better you should try it first."

Ye Fan’s head shook like a rattle drum, he really felt he couldn’t trust this unreliable creature.
