Chapter 635 - 417: Wei Fan Will Surely Return
The Beiding Continent was shaken, and many people were startled by the news that Wei Fan, who hailed from the Wilderness, was only twenty years old.
"Brother Wei comes from the Wilderness and is only nineteen years old, it’s simply terrifying!"
In Yun Jin City, when Yang Tao heard this news, he was so shocked that he stood up. Considering Wei Fan’s past feats, this news seemed even more frightening.
If it weren’t for the obscure Dao and the suppression on cultivation in the Wilderness, would Wei Fan already be a Martial Saint powerhouse?
Nineteen years, such a naturally gifted talent being suppressed in the Wilderness for nineteen years, that’s not only comparable to Xuanyuan Peak, it’s even more remarkable than Xuanyuan Peak.
In a place like the Wilderness, where the Dao is obscure, the Essence Qi is scarce, and the cultivation techniques are the kind that are common in the Five Great Domains, yet even in such conditions, Wei Fan reached the Martial King First Layer at the age of eighteen, achieving the strongest cultivation allowed by the Wilderness.
If he had a background like Xuanyuan Peak and cultivated outside the Wilderness, who would dare to say Wei Fan is not a Martial Saint by now?
"No wonder he killed the demon race in the Beiding Continent to the point they dare not show themselves. It turns out he had already swept clean the Demon Fiends in the Wilderness!"
What moved more people was the achievements Wei Fan established in the Wilderness. No matter how strong the talent, most people had no interaction with Wei Fan, perhaps just some idle chat after meals.
But a heaven-sent talent, who also protects the Human Race, is beneficial to everyone.
Throughout history, the Human Race never lacked geniuses, but the ones passed down through the ages are only those powerhouses who protected the Human Race.
"But Wei Fan is in trouble now, with his background, those Demon Saints might vent their anger on the Desert Human Race."
Scar said worriedly: "With his achievements, the Zilan Sect’s Martial Saints can only cause trouble for him, but those Demon Saints might be reckless."
Although they’ve already received orders to head to the Wilderness to guard, a retaliation by the Demon Saints, as long as they engage in battle with Human Race Martial Saints, would be a cataclysmic disaster for the Desert Human Race.
Moreover, everyone has friends, and the Princess Zhihua of the Daxu Kingdom only had a slight connection with Wei Fan, yet the Demon Fiends attacked the Daxu Kingdom, and if it weren’t for Wei Fan resolving this matter, Daxu would still be under attack.
Even if the Demon Hunter Organization’s Martial Saint intervened, it would still be troublesome. Catching a few family and friends of Wei Fan would be enough to force him out.
Sure enough, on the third day after the Dao Collapse Barrier completely disappeared, there were Demon Fiends publicly declaring that Wei Fan should return to the Wilderness to give an explanation to the Demon Race, otherwise the people of the Wilderness would await being implicated by Wei Fan.
Some rumors came out, that there had already been multiple clashes between Martial Kings and Demon Kings in the Wilderness, destroying some cities. However, news soon spread that Wei Fan had entered Cangwu Mountain over ten days ago and had not come out, completely oblivious to the news in the Jianghu.
"Given Wei Fan’s nature, he will definitely head to the Wilderness at the first opportunity without needing any news. Once he senses the end of the Dao Collapse, he will return to the Wilderness. In Cangwu Mountain, the end of the Dao Collapse’s commotion cannot be isolated. He should be on his way back to the Wilderness."
Zhou Shen had already summoned Territory Guardian War Generals at the first moment after the Dao Collapse ended, and after the Demon Hunter Organization issued a task, he also set out for the Wilderness.
He knew what Wei Fan had done, and naturally knew what would happen in the Wilderness after the Dao Collapse ended. Both emotionally and rationally, the Demon Hunter Sub-Hall in the Beiding Continent would not stand by and do nothing about the Wilderness matters.
"You have stayed in the Wilderness for so long, you should have already figured out Wei Fan’s network there. Make sure to protect his family and friends from being harmed by those beasts!"
He continued to input messages into the Communication Token.
The Demon Hunters who previously entered the Wilderness from the Beiding Continent also entered with tasks, building a communication network that could contact the outside world. Now that the Dao Collapse has ended, Beiding Continent can communicate with the Wilderness.
"Rest assured, you old thing, do you think I, as the Hall Master, wouldn’t have thought of what you did? Besides, he himself made arrangements long ago. Two months ago, he had that Demon Hunter named Zhihua enter the Wilderness to make contact with his family and friends. After the Dao Collapse ended, his family and friends have already hidden themselves. He knows more about his enemies than we do."
A few moments later, a message from Gu Qingshan came through.
Zhou Shen couldn’t help but feel invigorated. It seems Wei Fan wasn’t rashly killing enemies, the things he hadn’t thought of, Wei Fan had arranged for two months in advance.
As long as Wei Fan’s family and friends are hidden, those Demon Kings and Demon Saints can’t find them, leaving Wei Fan with no weaknesses. It makes handling matters much easier.
"Alright, then arrange for others to collect information on the positions of those Demon Saints, as well as those causing trouble in the Wilderness. I think Wei Fan will need it when he returns, so let’s make sure we have something to show."
Zhou Shen input another message, and a few moments later, the Communication Token vibrated: "Rest assured, the Demon Hunter Organization here has already been incorporated into the Beiding Continent Demon Hunter Organization. But I have to confirm once more, you old thing, are you not joking with me, has Wei Fan really broken through to Martial Saint?"
Zhou Shen smirked, imagining Gu Qingshan’s incredulous expression: "You’ve confirmed three times already, and for the last time, I’m telling you, Wei Fan has indeed broken through to the Saint Realm and become a Martial Saint powerhouse. Why don’t you believe this old man?"
"If I told you, someone who was still at Martial King Second Layer three or four months ago broke through to Saint Realm in three or four months, would you, old thing, believe it?"
Zhou Shen shook his head and entered the message: "I don’t believe it, but this matter was witnessed by my own eyes. I even saw him personally slay Tian Chunqiu of Fire Cloud Cave. You have to believe it."
"You don’t even believe it, old man, yet you want me to... Hurry up and come over, we have too few Saint Realm powerhouses to hold the situation."
In the Wilderness, Gu Qingshan put down the Communication Jade Token, his expression filled with astonishment.
Even though he had already heard about Wei Fan’s demonic acts in the Wilderness, his first reaction to Zhou Shen’s claim that Wei Fan had secretly broken through to the Saint Realm was disbelief.
The old thing Zhou Shen told him he reversed back to Zhou Shen, and Zhou Shen didn’t believe it; how could he believe it?
In less than four months, advancing from the Martial King Second Layer to the Saint Realm, not only him, but even Xuanyuan Peak would think it’s a joke upon hearing it. But he knows Zhou Shen would never joke about this, unless the person on the other end of the Communication Jade Token isn’t the Vice Hall Master Zhou Shen of the Demon Hunter Organization, otherwise there’s definitely no joking involved.
"Truly shocking, to have such a world-changing demon exist, even Xuanyuan Peak would pale in comparison."
The Five Great Domains will surely tremble. When Wei Fan returns to the Wilderness, there will be no way to hide anything.
Taking a deep breath, Gu Qingshan began to close his eyes and sit in cultivation, only feeling his Dao rapidly growing stronger, and some Great Dao he had never sensed before emerged from hiding, being entangled with his Dao.
If he could cultivate in such a place for decades, he was confident of becoming a Martial Emperor powerhouse. But unfortunately, the world’s rebirth after the Dao Collapse is just a fleeting flower, not lasting for long.
In fact, the current Wilderness isn’t as chaotic as the outside world thinks. After the Dao Collapse ends, the world’s rebirth time is limited. Both the Human Race and Demon Fiends know this is a rare opportunity not to be missed, so they are all racing against time to cultivate. Few come out to cause trouble during this time.
Those unable to advance in cultivation may think of causing trouble during this time, while those progressing in cultivation are seizing every moment to cultivate. Fighting for territory or cultivation holy lands will only appear after the first major rebirth from the Dao Collapse ends.
This first rebirth following the Dao Collapse has the best effect, and generally, none will miss it.
Time swiftly passed, and the Dao Collapse ended seven days ago. Even though Wei Fan rushed all the way, one cannot fly in Cangwu Mountain, nor travel at night; the eight days’ journey for him and Miss Nalan still took seven days to step out from the Bone Tribe to Cangwu Mountain.
This time, they were lucky not to encounter any taboos causing trouble.
"You’re in such a hurry, let’s travel through the Void World, hoping to catch the first rebirth."
The first rebirth will present many highly hidden Great Dao; it’s a rare opportunity. Essence Qi and such things are not what the Saint Realm powerhouses care about.
Miss Nalan reached out in the void and tore a crack open, darting headfirst inside.
A regular Martial King entering the Void World might easily get killed by random void currents, but a Martial Saint powerhouse can already survive in the Void World, and when in a hurry, they will avoid the real world and travel directly through the Void World.
Traversing the Void World is, although not as instantaneous as appearing tens of thousands of miles away like the Transmission Domain Gate, definitely much faster than traveling through the real world, which is one of the hallmark abilities of Saint Realm powerhouses.
In fact, Wei Fan’s Cyan Nether Travel is a Martial Technique designed for swift travel in the Void World. Martial Techniques of body technique type for Saint Realm powerhouses tend to focus on traversing the Void World.
For Saint Realm powerhouses, soaring through the sky and tunneling through the earth fails to describe their divine abilities.
"Alright!"
Wei Fan followed and darted inside as well, the void mended itself, and their figures disappeared directly.
The Void World was pitch black, and even the eyesight of Saint Realm powerhouses couldn’t see anything here. Without reference points, it’s hard to distinguish up, down, left, right, or front and back, but Saint Realm powerhouses have divine might, connected with the Great Dao, and while the naked eye cannot discern direction, the Dao can.
With the Dao Collapse ending, the world’s rebirth in the Wilderness was essentially an embodiment of the Dao. That direction’s Dao will be highly active; numerous hidden Great Dao would emerge, they just needed to fly in that direction.
"Seems like you have no experience walking in the Void World, nor do you understand it."
Miss Nalan suddenly spoke, her body radiating divine light, illuminating a corner of the Void World.
"Please, Miss Nalan, enlighten me!"
Seeing this, Wei Fan also activated his Dao Power, emitting radiant divine light. The two were like two colorful suns suspended in the Void World.
Indeed, it was his first time walking in the Void World, not understanding much, nor having communicated with Saint Realm powerhouses before.
