Chapter 589: Cave Heaven Transformation

The three Cloud River elders did not press the matter further. After all, they were not familiar with Lin Fan, and the three of them owed him a favor.

If not for him, they might have fallen here.

"Is this the tomb of the Water-Fire Great Emperor?" Red Cloud looked at the coffin before them, a hint of confusion on her face. Clearly, she had not expected finding the Water-Fire Great Emperor's tomb to be so simple.

Lin Fan shared an unspeakable secret with the Water-Fire Great Emperor, and obtaining the Water-Fire True Essence from a wisp of her primordial spirit avatar was already enough.

"I wonder what's inside?" Lin Fan thought, also puzzled.

When he touched the ordinary-looking coffin, he found it alternating between cold and hot. In an instant, Lin Fan thought of the Water-Fire Great Emperor's dual extremes of ice and fire.

What a playful woman.

Boom! Boom!

Just then, the Water-Fire Secret Realm suddenly shook violently.

"Not good, the Ancient Clan army must have arrived. Now there must be Ancient Clan experts trying to forcibly tear open the entrance to the Water-Fire Secret Realm," Cloud River's expression changed. "Hurry and open the coffin, take the treasures and leave."

Judging by the situation, the entrance to the Water-Fire Secret Realm probably wouldn't hold much longer before being completely torn open by the Ancient Clan.

Once the Ancient Clan swarmed in, probably no one here except himself would survive.

"Lin Fan, we survived this time entirely because of your help, so you get first pick of the Water-Fire Great Emperor's treasures," Red Cloud said.

They had gone through immense hardship to enter the Water-Fire Great Emperor's tomb, so they couldn't leave empty-handed; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to explain themselves back at the sect.

Worse, it might make the sect hold a grudge against Lin Fan.

They were not sovereigns, so they couldn't make that decision.

If she were the sect leader, she would definitely not take any treasure, since surviving was already a stroke of luck.

Lin Fan thought it over and understood Red Cloud's concerns. It was impossible for him to take everything for himself.

But in Lin Fan's view, even if there were treasures inside, there wouldn't be many.

After all, the Water-Fire Great Emperor wasn't dead—how could she leave powerful treasures for others?

"Alright," Lin Fan agreed with a nod.

Red Cloud breathed a sigh of relief. She had been afraid Lin Fan would object to this arrangement, but seeing him agree, she relaxed.

Lin Fan was not an unreasonable person. Entering the Water-Fire Secret Realm was thanks to Red Cloud bringing him in; without her, he wouldn't have gained what he had now.

The moment Red Cloud brought him in, his gains had already begun.

Primordial Water and Fire, condensation of the cave heaven, three Undying realm experts.

These were far more important than any treasure.

When Red Cloud opened the coffin, dozens of beams of light shot out violently.

Lin Fan's expression changed at the sight of those beams. He hadn't expected there to actually be treasures.

Dozens of spirit artifacts and dao artifacts—this was a massive fortune for anyone.

But treasures were utterly useless to Lin Fan.

His own skill in artifact refinement had already reached its peak; as long as he had materials, he could forge anything, even divine artifacts, without any problem.

Lin Fan could remain calm in the face of these treasures, but Red Cloud and the others could not.

Dozens of beams pierced the clouds, boundless treasure aura scattering across heaven and earth.

Dozens of spirit artifacts, several dao artifacts.

These were immense wealth!

Especially at the sight of those dao artifacts, Red Cloud and the others' hearts raced.

Even their own sects would need to consume countless materials to forge such dao artifacts.

And even if they were forged, they could never compare to these dao artifacts.

Because these dao artifacts had accompanied the Water-Fire Great Emperor, their artifact spirits must have recorded her cultivation insights. If one could comprehend those insights, it would greatly benefit their own cultivation.

But Red Cloud and the others held back their excitement, for they had promised Lin Fan first pick.

Lin Fan looked at these dao artifacts and frowned. What the hell were these?

All of them were women's items.

Combs and mirrors—how could he take those out?

But just then, Lin Fan noticed two clusters of spiritual light floating up from the coffin.

One cluster was like a flame, the other like a long river.

These were the Water-Fire Great Emperor's primordial true essence.

Lin Fan had obtained the Water-Fire True Essence from that wisp of primordial spirit avatar, but it was only a wisp.

Now these two clusters were much larger than what he had gotten before. If he could integrate them into his cave heaven, it would surely make it far more powerful.

"I'll take these two things. I don't want anything else," Lin Fan said, reaching out and grabbing the two clusters of Water-Fire True Essence.

Red Cloud and the others were overjoyed and quickly collected all the spirit and dao artifacts.

"Let's go. We can't stay here long. We must break out no matter what," Elder Cloud River said without hesitation, flying swiftly into the distance.

Lin Fan, satisfied, absorbed the two clusters of Water-Fire True Essence into his cave heaven.

As soon as the Water-Fire True Essence entered the cave heaven, it burst apart, flying toward the blazing sun in the sky and the long river on the ground.

Lin Fan felt his mana surging wildly, continuously rising.

The cave heaven also expanded unceasingly. The parasol tree's myriad branches danced, and the ancient great demon, Thunder Taming Dharma King, and Big Fan Ge's Spirit all floated in the void of the cave heaven, their mana also skyrocketing.

Xiguang's aura grew even denser, rising step by step, breaking into the Cave Heaven realm.

Deep within the cave heaven, a crystal spun rapidly, covered in dense patterns, as if it could shatter at any moment.

"Is this crystal about to break?" Lin Fan hadn't expected such a change in his cave heaven.

"Lin Fan, your cave heaven's will is about to evolve into Dao. Stop immediately! In your current state, you absolutely cannot survive the cave heaven tribulation," Red Cloud said, noticing Lin Fan's aura becoming chaotic and狂暴, and even a crystal phantom flickering on his forehead, as if about to crack.

Cloud River and the others were also shocked. They hadn't expected Lin Fan's cave heaven will to evolve into Dao.

"The evolution of cave heaven will into Dao is the highest realm of the cave heaven. Countless people never experience this realm before condensing their cave heaven into its final form and entering the Undying realm, leaving their cave heaven as a lifelong regret."

"But now, if he tries to evolve his will into Dao, it's absolutely impossible to succeed. The Ancient Clan are waiting outside. If something goes wrong, he'll perish both body and soul."

"If we were at Cloud Sect, we could mobilize the entire sect to help him evolve into Dao. But alas..."

The three Cloud Sect elders were anxious. Faced with this situation, they didn't know what to do.

Elder Cloud River's cave heaven had not evolved its will into Dao, as his cave heaven's accumulation was insufficient, and he eventually entered the Undying realm. This was a lifelong regret for him.

Even countless brilliant geniuses, due to insufficient cave heaven accumulation, failed to achieve the most perfect transformation, leaving regrets on their path of cultivation.

Now, a human prodigy on the verge of evolving his will into Dao appeared before them. It should have been a cause for celebration, but the current situation was fraught with difficulty. If he underwent the cave heaven tribulation, it would be nothing short of suicide.

Hearing their words, Lin Fan felt he was in deep trouble.
