Chapter 625 - 407: Breaking Through to the Saint Realm
In the sky, the expressions of Yuan Yi, the Saint Master, the Star Martial Sect Saint Master, and the Bi Hai Palace Martial Saint flickered with changes. Although they did not know what was happening inside the arena, they had heard of Wei Fan’s deeds.
Bare-handedly resisting Holy Soldiers, invincible beneath the Martial Saint realm in Beiding Continent, sweeping through the Demon Race, rumored to be a peerless talent not much weaker than Xuanyuan Peak. Such a person, if they acted rashly, Qin Xiao would definitely not stand idly by.
"Qin Xiao, have you thought it through? Among the people Wei Fan killed, there was also a disciple from the Xining Royal Family," Yuan Yi, the Saint Master, said in a deep voice.
Qin Xiao sneered, "So what about the Xining Royal Family? Does he dare to kill a Demon Hunter Sub-Palace Master?"
What Martial Emperor Sects, in front of the Demon Hunter Organization, they are all trash. Speaking of who is the big boss in the Five Great Domains, apart from the Demon Hunter Organization, no one dares to claim that title.
Yuan Yi, the Saint Master, was left speechless. Given Qin Xiao’s status, he indeed need not fear any reprisal from the Xining Royal Family, as they would not dare to retaliate against a Demon Hunter Sub-Palace Master.
In the end, they could only helplessly watch Wei Fan and his companions leave, not daring to truly make a move against him.
"Stay here for a few days, and leave only after Wei Fan leaves Treasure Flower Continent."
Watching the Territory Guardian War General from Beiding Continent leave, Qin Xiao domineeringly left Yuan Yi, the Saint Master, and the other two in place. He then beckoned Mu Feng over to learn about what happened inside the arena.
"Zhou Shen, that old thing, wasn’t boasting. This young man is indeed more stunning than Xuanyuan Peak!"
Upon hearing that Wei Fan single-handedly slew the Little Cyan Flood Dragon King and Yuan Yi, the Saint Son, along with others, Qin Xiao took a deep breath. It wasn’t that Wei Fan killed them one by one but slew a group of Saint Sons and dozens of Martial Kings and Demon Kings by himself.
"He single-handedly killed dozens of Peak Demon Kings, including seven or eight Saint Sons, and you think this Saint Master is a fool?"
The three Saint Masters left behind also inquired about what happened inside the arena. Upon hearing the descriptions from their disciples, their first reaction was disbelief.
"My son has exceptional talent, naturally a Divine Realm Martial Sect member. You say he and the Star Martial Sect Saint Son, along with Xining Royal Family disciples, were killed by Wei Fan in one move? Even the young Xuanyuan Peak might not have managed that. Keep lying, and this Saint will kill you with one strike."
Yuan Yi, the Saint Master’s roar echoed, utterly disbelieving that his son was killed in one move, and that several others were killed in the same strike. However, after multiple witnesses confirmed it, they had to accept that Yuan Yi, the Saint Son, the Star Martial Sect Saint Son, and Xining Royal Family disciples were indeed killed by Wei Fan over the Holy Blood Fruit.
For a long time, he said nothing, perhaps stunned by Wei Fan’s talent.
That day, chaos erupted in Treasure Flower Continent as the Eight Trigrams Wood Tripod of Huangfu Qingyang appeared, used by a mysterious female Martial Saint to suppress six Great Demon Saints of Treasure Flower Continent.
Besides, the demonic genius Wei Fan from Beiding Continent, previously spreading like wildfire, arrived in Treasure Flower Continent, single-handedly exterminating multiple Saint Sons, including Yuan Yi, the Saint Son, naturally a Divine Realm Martial Sect member, and the Little Cyan Flood Dragon King, all slaughtered as easily as chickens.
According to some Martial King observers of the arena, Wei Fan might be even more formidable than Xuanyuan Peak of the past.
...
"Do you know how that woman lived for so many years?"
Wei Fan curiously looked at Feng Hua, unsure if Feng Hua’s insights could enlighten him.
Hearing this, Feng Hua pondered for a while before responding, "I’m not entirely sure. Martial Emperor powerhouses possess sky-reaching abilities. Perhaps the Medicine Emperor gave her extraordinary divine medicine. However, I guess her awakening after thousands of years of slumber might be related to the Eight Trigrams Wood Tripod."
Wei Fan nodded, also believing that the mysterious woman’s immunity to the ravages of time was mostly due to the Martial Emperor Divine Weapon, the Eight Trigrams Wood Tripod.
Compared to the might of Imperial Soldiers, so-called Holy Soldiers were simply rubbish. When the Cyan Flood Dragon King and other Demon Saints were dying, they also offered their Demon Saint Artifacts, only to be pulverized under the sweeping power of the Imperial Soldiers.
At the end of Martial Dao cultivation, the difference between each realm is immense, and so is that of weapons.
"Do other Imperial Soldiers lack this ability to resist the ravages of time?"
Feng Hua shook his head, "As far as I know, no other Imperial Soldiers possess such ability."
He continued curiously, "Actually, I’m more curious about her relationship with the Medicine Emperor. Why was she slumbering in the Eight Trigrams Wood Tripod, and why did Huangfu Qingyang allow her to live in this era?"
This question was destined to remain unanswered, unless they sought out the woman themselves.
A day later, Wei Fan and his companions appeared at the Transmission Domain Gate in Celestial Star City. Upon arrival, everyone finally felt relieved.
Scar and others invited Wei Fan for a drink in the city, but Wei Fan declined, citing concerns about Yuan Yi, the Saint Master, and company seeking vengeance in Beiding Continent, needing to hide for a while.
He wasn’t truly afraid of Yuan Yi, the Saint Master, and the Star Martial Sect Saint Master seeking revenge. With everything now prepared, he intended to find a place to break through to the Martial Saint Realm.
Bidding farewell to Scar and the others, just as they stepped out of the plaza where the Transmission Domain Gate was located, Wei Fan suddenly felt a chill, as if being watched by a primordial fierce beast.
"Being watched by experts!"
Following his Martial Arts Spiritual Sense, Wei Fan saw two old men in gray standing by the roadside, and their gaze almost forced him to open his Martial Arts Celestial Eye to confront them.
"Grandfather, Third Grandfather." Beside him, Feng Hua suddenly spoke, walking over to bow to the two old men.
"I thought you didn’t recognize this grandfather anymore!" One old man snorted coldly.
Feng Hua shook his head, "Feng Hua wouldn’t dare!"
The old man whom Feng Hua called Third Grandpa spoke: "Look at you, still with Martial King Cultivation. If you weren’t so willful, with your talent, you would have reached Martial Saint Cultivation long ago."
Feng Hua remained silent and did not explain the matter of delaying several years in the Wilderness.
"Do you want to continue drifting outside or come home with your grandfather?" The old man Feng Hua called grandfather spoke again.
Wei Fan stepped forward: "If you don’t want to, I guarantee no one can force you."
Feng Hua told him about family matters; an outstanding descendant of the Zhou Family from Mountain and Sea Continent proposed to her. She herself was unwilling, but many in her family wanted to match her with Zhou Cheng Ancestor. After tensions arose, she left the family.
Now her whereabouts must have been leaked, and the family wanted to bring her back.
"So you’re Wei Fan? Your talent isn’t bad, young man, but you must know talent doesn’t equal strength; keep your distance from Feng Hua, don’t lose your life."
The old Third Grandpa looked coldly at Wei Fan.
"My life doesn’t need your concern, but if Feng Hua doesn’t want to leave today, you won’t take her!" Wei Fan spoke with little fluctuation in his tone.
Feng Hua, familiar with him, instantly knew that Wei Fan wanted to kill under such circumstances.
"Don’t!"
She called out softly; she knew too well how reckless Wei Fan was; if he unleashed the Golden Bell, her two elders might not fare well.
"I’ve also left home for a long time, I want to go back and see."
"Then let’s go, your mother’s health has not been good recently, she’s been bedridden for days."
Feng Hua’s expression slightly changed upon hearing this: "Grandpa, wait a moment, I need to speak with Wei Fan."
Feng Hua’s grandfather nodded: "You’re aware of the situation at home, regardless of your relationship with him, it’s best to end it; this will only benefit him, no harm."
Feng Hua didn’t respond, instead, she pulled Wei Fan aside, took out a Jade Box and handed it to him: "This is a Holy Blood Fruit; I got two in the Dao Field, I’m giving you one, break through quickly, the people in the Wilderness are waiting for you to rescue them."
Wei Fan didn’t reach out to take it: "Are you going back to jump into the fire pit? As long as you say you won’t leave, even if they bring ten Martial Saints they won’t take you with them."
Feng Hua shook her head: "As long as I don’t compromise, they cannot force me. My mother nearly lost her life when she failed to break into the Saint Realm back then; I have to go back and see her. Moreover, with the Holy Blood Fruit, I also want to break into the Saint Realm, the family can provide resources."
As she spoke, she stuffed the Jade Box containing the Holy Blood Fruit into Wei Fan’s hand.
"I wait for the day you come find me on a seven-colored cloud..."
Feng Hua’s face flushed, whispering softly, then turned and ran toward her grandfather.
Wei Fan grasped the Jade Box and turned to see Feng Hua, along with her grandfather and Third Grandpa, transformed into a stream of light and flew away.
"My home is in the Eastern Domain Holy City, my full name is Xuanyuan Feng Hua..."
Feng Hua’s voice echoed faintly, her figure already disappeared into the sky.
"Eastern Domain Holy City, huh..."
Wei Fan knew this place; the Eastern Domain Holy City is the most prosperous area in the Eastern Domain. Compared to the Holy City, a place like Celestial Star City is nothing but a rural area, a backwater.
There, it is a place all Martial Artists in the Eastern Domain aspire to, and it is also the ultimate stage for the human powerhouses of the Eastern Domain across generations.
He soon soared into the sky, altering his appearance and concealing his aura several times, then spent half a day setting up an array in a cave to start seclusion.
After spending tens of thousands of years of power, he finished comprehending the previous Guangling Martial Arts Manual and the two Saint-level Martial Arts exchanged recently, then took out the long-unused Scripture of the Three Emperors.
The Scripture of the Three Emperors doesn’t contain specific cultivation methods, but it speaks entirely of the essence of Martial Dao, containing various essentials for breaking through to the Saint Realm.
As he immersed his consciousness, three illusory figures reappeared, continuing the unfinished discourse from before.
Wei Fan listened enraptured, now standing at the pinnacle of the Martial King Ninth Layer, hearing the Three Emperors’ Discussion of Dao, felt even more the terror of the Three Emperors.
"Wondering if the Xuanyuan Family Feng Hua belongs to is related to Emperor Xuanyuan, one of the Three Emperors!"
In a certain era, three formidable Supreme Emperors each founded a powerful imperial dynasty, occupying one-third of the lands of the Human Race across the Five Great Domains. They led the Human Race to nearly annihilate the Demon Fiend, becoming the most legendary three Human Emperors in history, their achievements overshadowing ages.
It is said that the Demon Hunter Organization was founded by the Three Emperors, and even the Martial Dao cultivated in today’s Five Great Domains was established by the Three Emperors consolidating various ancient martial arts, working together to create it. They were Human Emperors, but they could also be called Martial Ancestors.
Unfortunately, despite the Three Emperors’ grand talents and astonishing achievements through ages, they couldn’t solve the Demon Fiend’s scourge for the Human Race, leaving the Human Race suffering from the Demon Fiend calamity till now.
Emperor Xuanyuan was one of the Three Emperors; as for the other two, they were Emperor Fu Xi and Emperor Shen Nong. The titles of these three emperors were known even by Wei Fan in the Wilderness, and there were even dedicated festivals to honor the Three Emperors.
Only at that time, he thought the Three Emperors were mythical legends, little did he know they truly existed.
