Chapter 680: Benefactor, You Went the Wrong Way

"These secret realms are truly blessed by heaven, naturally formed places full of infinite mystery."

Entering the secret realm, the Venerable Shakyamuni looked at the magnificent scene before him and sighed.

"I have visited many secret realms, some naturally formed, others created by great cultivators with immense power, but compared to them, the natural ones are more majestic."

"Enough, where do you get all these insights, you bald donkey? Hurry up and move." Lin Fan was also somewhat helpless with the bald donkey, wondering how he had cultivated to such a realm—probably through some back door.

"Benefactor, what are you looking for? Once I open my heavenly eye, I can see everything in the world." The Venerable Shakyamuni quietly showed off a little.

This technique was unique to the Buddhist clan. Often, after entering a secret realm, those with this technique could find treasures the fastest.

"Primordial Wood." Lin Fan said.

"Good, let me take a look. Where the Primordial Wood is, with me here, it cannot hide." The Venerable Shakyamuni said with a smile.

"No need, I can find it myself." Lin Fan glanced at the Venerable Shakyamuni, refusing to give him a chance to show off.

"Benefactor, leave it to me. Absolutely reliable." The Venerable Shakyamuni was about to show off but found that this guy wouldn't give him the chance.

This was very uncomfortable for the Venerable Shakyamuni, who couldn't stand not showing off.

"Then take your time looking. I'll go ahead." Lin Fan didn't wait for the Venerable Shakyamuni and walked straight ahead.

"Benefactor, wait, it'll be quick."

"Heavenly Buddha Eye, destined with Buddha, open."

In an instant, the Venerable Shakyamuni chanted scriptures, and above his head suddenly appeared a 'Buddha Eye,' covered densely with eyes, seeing nothing but emptiness.

"Benefactor, you're going the wrong way. The Primordial Wood is in this direction." The Venerable Shakyamuni called out to Lin Fan.

"I'm taking this path today. If you're so good, you take that one." Lin Fan knew the Venerable Shakyamuni liked to show off, and if he didn't let him, he'd feel uneasy all over.

Lin Fan's current idea was to drive the Venerable Shakyamuni away, so he wouldn't be hopping around in front of him.

"Ah, benefactor, why are you so stubborn? The Primordial Wood really is in this direction." The Venerable Shakyamuni really wanted to perform once.

When he led Lin Fan to find the Primordial Wood, the sense of satisfaction would be overwhelming, but now this guy wouldn't listen to him, which made the Venerable Shakyamuni very uncomfortable.

It was as if he had spoken the most sincere words in the world, only to be treated as lies.

"Benefactor, wait for me." Now with two big steamed buns hanging on him, the Venerable Shakyamuni naturally couldn't let Lin Fan leave his sight, so he sighed and chased after Lin Fan.

"Damn it, what if it really is there?" Lin Fan was now in a dilemma.

This bald donkey, though annoying, did have real skill.

But even so, what could he do? The young master had to have backbone. How could he let the bald donkey have his way? Taking this direction, even if he hit his head and bled, he would keep going.

"Benefactor, it's really over there. There's no Primordial Wood in this direction." The Venerable Shakyamuni said.

"Yeah, I know, but I want to take a stroll, look around, and then find the Primordial Wood later, okay?" Lin Fan said.

"Okay." The Venerable Shakyamuni nodded.

Lin Fan looked at the surroundings. The aura of Primordial Wood was very strong. The plants in this secret realm were lush, and some spirit herbs grew among them, nourished by this powerful vitality, gradually evolving into higher-grade spirit herbs.

"Benefactor, why aren't you talking?" The Venerable Shakyamuni looked at Lin Fan staring ahead, feeling a bit puzzled.

Lin Fan heard what the bald donkey said but didn't want to respond, though his mind was pondering one thing.

This secret realm containing Primordial Wood had no living beings entering for a long time. Now it was strange to encounter a few at the entrance. Clearly, there must be some important treasure inside.

Moreover, those coming wouldn't be just these few. If he made some noise to attract some strong cultivators, then scare off the bald donkey, he could go invisible and collect the 'Primordial Wood.'

This plan was solid, definitely a good way to make a profit.

In an instant, Lin Fan floated in the void.

"Benefactor, what are you doing?" The Venerable Shakyamuni saw Lin Fan floating in the void and asked in confusion.

Lin Fan didn't speak. He struck a palm toward the ground of the secret realm, and surging mana burst forth violently. A massive palm heavily slammed into the earth.

Boom!

With Lin Fan's current strength, his mana was terrifyingly dense. A single palm strike shook heaven and earth.

For hundreds of miles around, the ground trembled, and the solid surface of the secret realm cracked continuously.

"Benefactor, why did you suddenly attack?" The Venerable Shakyamuni asked in confusion. "Could it be that you've been possessed by an evil spirit in the secret realm? Don't worry, with me here, I won't stand idly by."

"Bald donkey, possessed my ass!" Lin Fan pointed a finger, and a vast sword intent tore through the air, shooting forward.

Boom!

Boom!

Lin Fan didn't believe there were no others in this secret realm.

Powerful mana surged like waves, spreading out. Within a thousand miles centered on Lin Fan, the land was riddled with holes, as if a great battle had occurred.

In all directions of the secret realm, many powerful beings sensed this fluctuation.

"Someone's fighting."

"Let's go take a look. Maybe someone found a treasure."

…

At that moment, Lin Fan floated in the void, observing all directions, and sensed some powerful auras coming from afar.

"So it's two beings."

In an instant, the void in the distance was torn open, and powerful void backflow surged in.

"So it's the Ancient Clan."

Lin Fan saw the arrivals and didn't expect them to be from the Ancient Clan.

As he had thought, there must be something in this secret realm to attract so many strong cultivators.

Divine Heaven rank six.

Divine Heaven rank five.

"Damn, that's not enough. With this bald donkey's strength, he's not afraid at all." Lin Fan frowned at the two Ancient Clan members, feeling disappointed.

"I understand." At that moment, the Venerable Shakyamuni came to Lin Fan's side.

"What is it, making a fuss?" Lin Fan said helplessly.

"Benefactor, I finally understand your idea. So you knew the Ancient Clan would come and made this noise to attract them. Ah, such a good method—why didn't I think of it?" The Venerable Shakyamuni's eyes lit up, especially when he saw the two Ancient Clan members, becoming even more delighted.

"Benefactor, leave these two Ancient Clan members to me." Without waiting for Lin Fan to say more, the Venerable Shakyamuni immediately acted.

"Oh my god!"
