Chapter 603: A New Starting Point Appears Before the Eyes

Red Cloud Immortal looked at Lin Fan, breathing a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had held back; if he had actually killed, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

But Lin Fan felt rather displeased.

In the end, it all came down to strength.

Being in Cloud Sect, not to mention the Sect Master was stronger than him, even some of the elders were far more powerful.

Fang Weifeng had provoked him time and again and deserved to be killed, but Lin Fan had to consider the others in Cloud Sect.

If he possessed supreme strength, why would Lin Fan care about such things? He would kill without mercy.

"Lin Fan, thank you for showing mercy. They've grown accustomed to comfort in Cloud Sect and developed this arrogant temperament." Though Red Cloud Immortal's cultivation was not high, she could see through people's hearts.

She knew that Cloud Sect was gradually declining under this generation of disciples.

The senior disciple of Cloud Sect no longer thought about overthrowing the Ancient Clans, but instead engaged in intrigue, formed factions, and strove for the position of Sect Master.

Lin Fan said nothing, just smiled calmly, looking at the beautiful scenery around.

In the Ancient Saint Realm, to have such a flourishing sect was indeed a wonder; even the Holy Sect of the Xuanhuang Realm could not compare.

Truly, a chaotic world produces true dragons.

...

"Senior Brother Zhang, are you alright?" Fang Weifeng was now trembling with fear, his face pale. He had not expected that even Senior Brother Zhang, as strong as he was, could not defeat this human.

Especially the look this human gave him when leaving, which made his heart tremble with fear.

Zhang Wenzhuang's face was dark and terrifying. His furious eyes swept over the strange gazes of the surrounding disciples, and he felt as if countless slaps were landing on his face.

"Get lost!" Zhang Wenzhuang growled, his eyes filled with boundless rage, and he got up and left.

He could not bear the humiliation he had suffered today, especially in front of so many junior brothers and sisters.

This made Zhang Wenzhuang feel an immense disgrace.

Fang Weifeng was also startled by the "Get lost" and stepped back a few steps. Watching the departing Senior Brother Zhang, though angry, he followed behind.

He was now going to tell the senior disciple and let him handle it.

In his view, this Lin Fan was simply seeking death. If he provoked the senior disciple to act, the consequences would be terrifying.

The surrounding disciples, seeing Zhang Wenzhuang and Fang Weifeng slink away, began to discuss even more freely.

"This guy is too fierce; even Senior Brother Zhang was taken down."

"So domineering. With just one finger, he defeated Senior Brother Zhang, who was at the Undying Realm of the Divine Heaven Fourth Stage. Just how strong is this human?"

"Senior Brother Tianyun, quickly tell us the story of this human."

Tianyun looked at the junior brothers and sisters gathered around him and couldn't help but smile smugly.

"What, now you believe what I said?"

"We believe, we all believe."

"Senior Brother Tianyun, tell us more."

Tianyun laughed happily, and then the crowd surrounded him like stars around the moon, listening to his teachings.

But at this moment, Tianyun was also somewhat worried. After all, behind Zhang Wenzhuang was the senior disciple. If the senior disciple stepped in, what would happen then?

This matter spread quickly.

Apart from the senior disciple, there were many other senior brothers and sisters who had their own factions.

They did not have a good relationship with Senior Brother Liu Hen. Though nothing happened on the surface, behind the scenes, intrigue was frequent.

The Sect Master of Cloud Sect knew this but did not know what to say.

...

"Red Cloud, Cloud Sect is located within a cave heaven. Is the owner of this cave heaven still alive?" Lin Fan always wondered about this.

After all, living in someone's cave heaven basically meant putting one's life in that person's hands.

Moreover, the Cloud Sect's leader was at the Divine Heaven rank, eighth level, Earthly Divine Pill realm. Wasn't the owner of this cave heaven afraid that he might cause trouble?

Seeing Lin Fan ask about this matter, Red Cloud did not hide anything, as it was not a secret.

“This cave heaven was actually the founding ancestor of the Cloud Sect’s cave heaven. However, to maintain this cave heaven, the founding ancestor had already passed away when establishing the Cloud Sect, merging himself into the cave heaven’s great path to sustain its order.” Thinking of the founding ancestor’s deeds, Red Cloud showed admiration.

This was sacrificing oneself for the sake of future generations.

Lin Fan looked into the depths of the cave heaven’s void, where a mysterious force blocked all exploration.

Lin Fan also showed respect for the Cloud Sect’s founding ancestor.

Everything was for future generations.

Leaving a refuge for the countless races of the universe.

If it were him, he absolutely could not do this.

For those with such power, who wasn’t a world-shaking overlord? To abandon everything, cut off the path to eternity, and benefit others—how great a level of enlightenment must that require?

Even if unwilling, one had to admire it.

Under Red Cloud’s guidance, Lin Fan took in the full view of the Cloud Sect, gaining new ideas for the development of his own cave heaven.

The Cloud Sect, though located within a cave heaven, was like a small world.

There were beings born from the cave heaven itself, secret realms opened later, and its own rules.

The four seasons cycled in turn; there were sun, moon, and starlight.

But beyond this sun, moon, and starlight lay darkness, with no path.

Lin Fan observed secretly that his own cave heaven, when fully developed, would surely have such capabilities.

But this path was still long and required gradual exploration.

After wandering for a long time, Lin Fan parted ways with Fairy Red Cloud.

However, Red Cloud also told Lin Fan good news: tomorrow she would take him to the library to browse all the books.

Lin Fan had long desired such a grand sect.

The collection of books was surely vast, with profound depth far beyond his imagination.

At the senior brother’s peak.

Fang Weifeng was sobbing bitterly.

“Senior Brother, this human is too arrogant. Not only did he hit Brother Zhang, but he also insulted you.” Fang Weifeng said tearfully.

“Brother Zhang asked him to apologize and compensate, but he arrogantly said Brother Zhang wasn’t qualified to speak to him and wanted you to come see him in person.”

Liu Hen’s expression darkened, clearly somewhat angered.

In the Cloud Sect, to dare to discipline his people meant the person had no regard for him.

Where did Elder Yunhe find this human, to be so lawless in the Cloud Sect?

“Wenzhuang, is what Junior Fang said true? Did that human really say that?” Liu Hen asked in a deep voice.

“Senior Brother, what Junior Fang said is correct. That human did say that.” Zhang Wenzhuang felt disgraced; he, an Undying realm cultivator, had been taught a lesson by a human—a humiliation.

But he knew his strength was inferior. Yet the other party was only at the Cave Heaven realm; how could he be a match?

This, Zhang Wenzhuang could not understand or figure out.

Even for a prodigy, a difference of one cultivation level shouldn’t leave him completely helpless.

“Good, very good. Since that’s the case, I’ll go meet him tomorrow and see what he’s capable of.” Liu Hen said angrily, a hint of malice flashing in his eyes.

Fang Weifeng was naturally excited to hear that the senior brother would take action.

“With the senior brother stepping in, no matter how formidable this human is, he’ll surely be trampled underfoot like a dead dog.”

Fang Weifeng’s flattery was of no use to Liu Hen.

As the senior brother, Liu Hen was locked in fierce rivalry with the others. If word got out that his subordinate had been disciplined and he did nothing,

it would surely become a joke.

Then the disciples who sided with him would likely decrease, greatly affecting his bid for the sect leader position.
