Chapter 979: He Must Be Made to Shine Brilliantly

In the Xuanhuang Realm, war boats also existed.

But these war boats were vastly different from those of the Xuanhuang Realm.

This was a fundamental difference that could not be generalized.

Mountains and rivers flew past, and in the blink of an eye, they were in another world.

Lin Fan stood there, neither speaking nor acting, but constantly sensing the extent of this realm.

With Lin Fan's strength, if it were the Xuanhuang Realm or even the Ancient Saint Realm, he could cover it with a single thought.

But in this Endless Continent, it was infinitely vast, and he could not sense its end.

The laws of this realm were more complete and more powerful than those of the world Lin Fan had been in.

This was truly a paradise for the strong.

At that moment, the scenery ahead changed.

Peak after peak stood like pillars of heaven and earth, towering in the midst of the world.

One after another, peaks like coiled dragons rose upward, reaching the heavens.

White clouds swirled around, the scenery was lush, a flock of cranes soared with low cries, and many disciples shuttled through the sky like rainbows.

Although they had not yet reached the peaks, a solemn aura enveloped Lin Fan.

"We have arrived. This is the Heaven and Earth Sect," Qingyangzi said, standing beside Lin Fan.

Lin Fan nodded. The aura of the Heaven and Earth Sect was indeed extraordinary and not ordinary.

Probably no sect in the Xuanhuang Realm or even the Ancient Saint Realm could compare to it.

"The Heaven and Earth Sect has a history of hundreds of thousands of years. Taking heaven and earth as its standard, it has created countless techniques. Disciples of the Heaven and Earth Sect must comprehend the true essence of heaven and earth to reach higher realms," Qingyangzi said.

Lin Fan listened, not missing a single piece of information.

When entering the Heaven and Earth Sect, Lin Fan clearly sensed a slight fluctuation in the void. Although this fluctuation was very subtle, it could not escape Lin Fan's perception.

This was probably the sect's barrier.

The war boat landed without attracting much attention.

"Wait a moment. I will go to the sect now to report to the Sect Leader," Qingyangzi said, then had the disciples accompany Lin Fan.

Lin Fan stood there, observing the surroundings. People came and went, and the cultivation of these disciples was not weak.

"Senior Brother Li Qing, did you find any good prospects during this trip to recruit disciples?" At that moment, a man in blue robes passed by and asked with a smile.

"Yes, this one here," Li Qing, with a square face, said with a smile.

"Oh?" That disciple sized up Lin Fan but did not see anything special about him.

"This is Junior Brother Lin Fan, with extraordinary potential," Li Qing naturally knew Lin Fan's strength, but he could not reveal that Elder Qingyangzi had been defeated.

After all, if that got out, it would make Elder Qingyangzi lose face.

"Extraordinary potential?" That disciple glanced at Lin Fan but saw no sign of extraordinary potential. Then he gave a faint smile and dismissed Lin Fan.

Meanwhile, at the Sect Leader's location.

Qingyangzi reported truthfully, recounting what he had seen and done in Ascending Dragon City, with special emphasis on the disciple Lin Fan.

"Sect Leader, this disciple has extraordinary strength. Though he has not reached the True Immortal Realm, he has already attained Martial Dao Divine Enlightenment. He is a genius among geniuses," Qingyangzi said.

"Oh?" The Sect Leader was immediately surprised.

To achieve Martial Dao Divine Enlightenment without reaching the True Immortal Realm was indeed a genius.

But Qingyangzi concealed a little. After all, it was better not to mention his own defeat.

Saying it would be too embarrassing for an old face like his.

"Sect Leader, I believe this disciple should be given focused training," Qingyangzi said.

To maintain the sect's strength, it was necessary to cultivate top-tier geniuses.

They could also become the Sect Leader's Divine Sons.

And there were only ten Divine Sons, a fixed number.

"I didn't expect Qingyangzi to be back too," at that moment, a blaze of fire tore through the air, burning the void to nothingness.

As soon as Qingyangzi saw the newcomer, his expression changed.

Elder Fire!

This Elder Fire was a celestial fire spirit born from the primordial fire source of heaven and earth. His strength was extraordinary, and his control over fire was unmatched in the world.

"Sect Leader, I discovered a disciple this time. He is born with a fire body and has achieved Martial Dao Divine Enlightenment. I have brought him back to the sect. Heaven must be blessing our sect," Elder Fire said excitedly.

Then he opened his hand.

A mass of blazing flame suddenly burst forth.

This flame seemed to have no temperature on the surface, but its internal temperature was extremely high, as if it could burn everything.

"Eh!"

The Sect Leader was startled when he saw this flame, clearly recognizing its uniqueness.

"Sect Leader, this flame is a mutated celestial fire. Although it originates from the same source as me, its potential surpasses mine," Elder Fire said.

The Sect Leader flicked his sleeve, and a vast force burst forth, enveloping the flame.

Gradually!

The flame suddenly changed, gradually solidifying into a form, taking the shape of an eleven- or twelve-year-old boy.

The boy was completely white, but his open eyes burned with two flames, and on his forehead was imprinted a mark of fire.

"Ah!"

The boy opened his mouth, and a mass of flame burst forth. The void touched by the flame instantly melted and turned to ashes.

The Sect Leader's expression tightened slightly. He spread his five fingers and blocked the flame.

"Truly extraordinary. To have such strength at birth," the Sect Leader said with joy, as if he had discovered a treasure.

Elder Fire revealed a smile. "Sect Leader, I believe this celestial fire spirit, with its nascent intelligence, can be made a Divine Son of the sect and be well trained."

"Hmm, acceptable. Its mind is like a blank slate. Instill the sect's ideology, and it will surely serve the sect wholeheartedly," the Sect Leader said.

Qingyangzi stood to the side, stunned. Then he hurriedly said, "Sect Leader, the one I..."

The Sect Leader waved his hand. "Let him become an inner disciple."

"Sect Leader, the disciple I discovered..." Qingyangzi argued vehemently. Although being an inner disciple was not bad, compared to being a Divine Son of the sect, it was worlds apart.

There was simply no comparison.

"Enough. The slots are limited," the Sect Leader said.

Qingyangzi was dumbfounded. The disciple he had brought back was incredibly impressive.

How could this thing Elder Fire brought back compare to the one he had brought?

But now, no matter what he said, it seemed useless.

The Sect Leader had already decided. Was there any way to change it?

After the Sect Leader left, Elder Fire approached Qingyangzi. "Qingyangzi, sorry about that. I just went out casually and discovered such a genius. I've stolen your thunder."

"Hmph," Qingyangzi snorted coldly, feeling irritated for a moment. How was he going to explain this to that kid?

This was a peerless genius I, Qingyangzi, discovered. No matter what, I must make him shine brilliantly.
