Chapter 1489 This is the greatest farce under heaven, the most absurd error under heaven.

In the early hours of the morning, a faint ray of dawn quietly pierced through the hazy night, just enough to illuminate the thickest darkness before daybreak.

Beneath the Spirit Profound Realm, deep within the towering mountains of a certain plane.

In the distance, amidst the clouds and mist, a cluster of undulating peaks can be vaguely outlined. The highest peak among them exudes an overwhelming spiritual pressure, and the magnificent buildings constructed atop it resemble a celestial palace suspended in the sea of ​​clouds, both ethereal and majestic.

At this moment, thousands upon thousands of human cultivators at the Integration Realm from all over the Lingxuan Realm are gathered around this giant peak, each one hovering in the air, their figures densely packed, almost obscuring the entire sky.

At the palace square atop the giant peak, over a thousand old monsters, some at the late stage and others at the peak of the Integration Realm, were presiding over a grand sacrificial ceremony.

This is the Heavenly Gate Hall of the Spirit Mystery Realm, and also the sacred place for every "opening of the Heavenly Gate".

Only cultivators in the entire realm who have broken through to the Integration Realm are qualified to know of the existence of the Heavenly Gate Hall.

Those low-level cultivators had no idea that such a secret realm was hidden in this realm.

Beneath the Heavenly Gate Hall lies a massive Heaven-Reaching Array, the only channel connecting the entire Lingxuan Realm to the Upper Realm.

Although they have to offer a huge amount of cultivation resources to the upper realm every day, they can only receive a slight response from the upper realm on the few days when the Heavenly Gate is opened.

Even so, the Lingxuan Realm dared not be negligent in the slightest, and every year it would spend countless resources to offer to the Upper Realm.

After all, the big shots in the upper realm might not care about these offerings at all, but if they dared to stop offering them, no one could bear the consequences.

However, today, countless late-stage Nascent Soul Realm experts have gathered here not to hold the "Opening the Heavenly Gate" ceremony, but to pray to the upper realm through a ritual.

To put it bluntly, it's about complaining to the powerful figures of the human Daoist sects in the upper realm.

After all, the true form of the great demon from the "Mountain and Sea Realm" has descended upon "New Guangtian," so the human cultivators of the lower realm naturally have to report this matter to the upper realm and demand an explanation.

The grand ceremony lasted for three days before finally coming to an end, and fortunately, it received a response from a powerful figure in the Daoist sect of the upper realm.

The response was only three words: "I understand...".

These three words alone were enough to make many human cultivators at the Integration Realm in the Spirit Profound Realm ecstatic.

They knew perfectly well whether the powerful figures of the human Daoist sects in the upper realm would stand up for the Lingxuan Realm in the lower realm, depending entirely on their mood.

Even the slightest glimmer of hope is enough to cheer people up, just in case they're in a good mood and actually lend a helping hand.

After the grand ceremony concluded, hundreds of top figures from the Lingxuan Realm gathered around the altar in the Heavenly Gate Hall.

At this moment, a powerful figure at the peak of the Integration Realm standing at the very front spoke up and asked.

"How's the battle situation on 'Xin Guangtian' side lately?"

A powerful figure from the Kunqiong Realm at the Integration Realm, who was standing below, quickly stepped forward and bowed in response.

"Reporting to Senior Brother Fengming, after the true form of the great demon from the Upper Realm of the 'Mountain and Sea Domain' descended, the defense line of 'Xin Guangtian' collapsed instantly. We retreated more than ten thousand miles before we could barely stabilize the battle line..."

Upon hearing this, the many top figures in front were immediately enraged and voiced their condemnation.

"Hmph... The 'Mountain and Sea Realm' is truly outrageous! How dare they disregard the rules of Heaven and summon the true form of a great demon from the upper realm! This is utterly outrageous..."

"This matter absolutely cannot be left like this. Our human race's Daoist sect is not a pushover to be easily manipulated..."

"This time, the 'Mountain and Sea Realm' has broken the rules. Surely the seniors of the human Daoist sects in the Upper Realm won't just sit idly by and do nothing..."

However, the crowd below didn't take the shouts and curses from the group of old men in front of them too seriously.

In fact, everyone knows that the human and Taoist sects in the upper realm are said to be fighting a great war with the demon realm, and both sides have already descended to the lower realm in their true forms.

Since no one followed the rules, no one should laugh at anyone else.

They understood even more clearly that the great battle between "New Guangtian" and "Mountain and Sea Realm" was essentially an impact of the war between the two races in the upper realm.

Previously, some powerful realms of the human race in the lower realms had also launched wars to invade the demon race's realms.

To put it bluntly, this is a battle of gods, and mortals suffer.

Therefore, whether the "Mountain and Sea Realm" can obtain the support of the human race's Taoist sect in the upper realm by summoning the true form of a great demon from the upper realm to descend upon "New Guangtian" remains an unknown.

Just then, an old man in front coughed softly, and the surrounding chatter instantly subsided.

"Alright, stop talking..."

After the old man finished speaking, his gaze swept over the several Nascent Soul Realm elders from the Spirit Profound Realm below.

"Can 'New Guangtian' withstand the attack from 'Mountain and Sea Boundary' this time...?"

Upon hearing the question from the Phoenix Cry God, an elder from the Kunqiong Realm quickly stepped forward to reply.

"Reporting to Senior Brother Fengming, we have mobilized several surrounding star regions, and the first batch of supporting cultivators has arrived at 'New Guangtian'..."

An old monster from the Fusion Realm of "Xin Guangtian" quickly added.

"Reporting to Senior Brother Fengming, one of our disciples from 'Xin Guangtian' has infiltrated the rear of 'Shan Hai Jie Yuan' alone and launched several attacks, killing over a thousand ninth-tier beast kings. 'Shan Hai Jie Yuan' has now ceased its frontal offensive..."

Upon hearing this, Senior Brother Fengming immediately became interested.

"You're saying he single-handedly killed over a thousand ninth-tier beast kings? What's his name...?"

"He is a disciple of the 'Guangfa Dao Sect' in our plane. He has just broken through to the Integration Realm. It is said that he killed more than a thousand ninth-order beast kings in a single battle..."

Upon hearing this, the faces of the many Nascent Soul Realm elders around them revealed a mocking expression.

A young fellow who had just broken through to the Integration Realm single-handedly killed more than a thousand ninth-tier beast kings.

Even when you're bragging, you should at least have some logic to it.

Although few of these people have actually faced the ninth-tier beast kings of the "Mountain and Sea Realm", they are, after all, top figures in this realm, with knowledge far exceeding that of ordinary people.

In their view, among the human cultivators, those who could fight a ninth-tier beast king alone were already top experts, yet now they were saying that someone could kill more than a thousand beast kings on their own.

What a joke.

It is utterly ridiculous and absurd.

Not only the others, but even Senior Brother Fengming frowned.

"Is that really true...?"

Seeing everyone looking at him with mockery, the old monster "Xin Guangtian" suddenly became anxious.

He quickly defended himself, saying, "That's absolutely true! If it weren't for him, after our defensive line collapsed and we retreated more than 10,000 li, we wouldn't have had enough time to build a second line of defense..."

Even with his explanation, no one present believed him.

Seeing this, Senior Brother Fengming could only try to smooth things over.

"Alright... as long as 'New Guangtian' can withstand the offensive of 'Mountain and Sea Realm'..."

After he finished speaking, he left the Heavenly Gate Hall with a group of top leaders.

The others followed suit, each glancing at the "New Guangtian" old monster with a smile before leaving.

The disbelief in his eyes was almost overflowing.

"Hmph... If you don't believe me, fine..." The old monster in the Integration Realm of "Xin Guangtian" cursed inwardly.

Actually, he didn't believe it at first either, but that's just how it is.

Although everyone treated this as a joke, the names "Xin Guangtian," "Guangfa Daozong," and "Su Fan" spread throughout the entire Lingxuan Realm.

However, Su Fan's fame this time was not due to his formidable reputation, but rather because he became the subject of ridicule among all the Nascent Soul Realm experts in the Spirit Profound Realm.

The cultivators at the Integration Realm in this realm have a dedicated communication platform, and the entrance to this platform is hidden in the identity jade talisman that the sect gave to Su Fan when he broke through to the Integration Realm.

Through this jade talisman, all cultivators at the Integration Realm can enter the platform to communicate, and its function is similar to a BBS online forum in my previous life.

Don't be fooled by the imposing presence these Nascent Soul Realm experts have in front of lower-level cultivators; even they need to find something to relax and unwind from their monotonous cultivation.

After all, cultivation requires a balance of tension and relaxation.

Therefore, many veterans at the Integration Realm like to come to this platform for leisure during their free time from cultivation, and occasionally they also trade resources here.

Recently, "Xin Guangtian" is engaged in a major battle with "Shan Hai Jie Yu," and various news about this war has naturally become a hot topic on the platform.

When the news that a cultivator who had just broken through to the Integration Realm had single-handedly killed more than a thousand ninth-order beast kings from the "Mountain and Sea Realm" appeared on the platform's public screen, it instantly became the "hot search" of the day.

"That's some serious bragging. Even the most outrageous stories wouldn't dare to write something like this..."

"Let alone killing over a thousand ninth-tier beast kings in one go, even if they stood still and let me cut them, I wouldn't be able to budge them..."

“Those are over a thousand ninth-tier beast kings from the ‘Mountain and Sea Realm.’ If they were all gathered together, they would be enough to destroy a small plane…”

"How thick-skinned do you have to be to brag like that? Who gave you the courage..."

In an instant, the public chat became a sea of ​​joy, with almost everyone treating the incident as a source of amusement.

Countless sarcastic, mocking, and ridiculing comments quickly filled the screen.

Despite their usual solemn and dignified demeanor, these Nascent Soul cultivators transform into a bunch of goofballs on this platform for peer-to-peer interaction.

After all, everyone here is a Nascent Soul cultivator, so no one will laugh at anyone else, which is a good way to release the pressure they usually feel.

Moreover, some people with ulterior motives have unearthed information about "Guangfa Daozong" and Su Fan.

A super sect that has been declining year by year, together with a rogue cultivator of unknown origin, actually joined forces to concoct such a ridiculous and absurd thing.

This sparked another wave of discussion on the public chat, with countless defamatory, mocking, and sarcastic comments flooding the screen once again.

Just as the wave of comments was gradually subsiding, a new comment suddenly appeared on the public screen.

"Fellow Daoists, is that person named Su Fan a native cultivator of 'Xin Guangtian'...?"

This comment quickly attracted many replies.

"I actually inquired about this matter. Apparently, he suddenly appeared behind the alien beasts during the 'New Guangtian' battle..."

"I heard that this Su Fan is a rogue cultivator who mainly cultivates the body path. He is very strong. There was even a video circulating before that recorded him killing several ninth-tier beast kings on his own..."

“I also asked my friends at ‘Xin Guangtian’. This guy seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. Later, when ‘Guangfa Daozong’ recruited independent cultivators, he joined the sect…”

After dozens of replies appeared, the person who initially left the message sent another message.

"If what you say is true, then this Su Fan might be the person I've heard about..."

This comment instantly attracted more attention, and many people left comments asking further questions.

"Fellow Daoist, please tell me quickly, where did he come from..."

"I wonder which realm you come from, friend. Could this kid be from your realm...?"

"Impossible! He was only at the Refinement Void Realm when he first appeared. How could he cross two realms? Even a peak Integration Realm expert wouldn't be able to do that so easily..."

Su Fan's background was already shrouded in mystery, and now that someone claims to know him, more and more cultivators are paying attention to this message.

Soon, the monk replied with another message.

“I come from the Jiaochen Realm. I don’t know if the Su Fan you’re talking about is the same person I’ve heard about, but I can tell you some things I know about him…”

Next, the cultivator who claimed to be from the Jiaochen Realm typed out Su Fan's past achievements one by one on the public screen.

From the time Su Fan was in the Qi Refining stage, he dared to stand up to a Nascent Soul family on his own, until later when the Celestial Race summoned a powerful figure from the Upper Realm to eliminate him.

Although Su Fan has disappeared from the Jiaochen Realm, the soul lamps he left behind in several sects have not yet been extinguished.

When the cultivator from the Jiaochen Realm presented Su Fan's incredible and terrifying past achievements one by one on the public screen, the entire communication platform instantly fell silent.

The sarcastic and mocking comments that were just moments ago have vanished without a trace.

Those powerful figures in the Integration Realm who usually held themselves in high esteem were all stunned into silence, their breath seemingly caught in their throats for a moment.

It should be noted that an incident occurred in the Jiaochen Realm where the true form of a powerful figure from the upper realm descended. At the time, this event caused a great uproar on this platform and became a hot topic for quite some time, with countless cultivators at the Integration Realm discussing it heatedly.

After all, the arrival of a powerful figure from the upper realm in the lower realm is a rare event, and every detail is something they can ponder for a long time.

Those who can enter this platform to communicate are all powerful figures in the Integration Realm of the Spirit Profound Realm. Each of them has gone through countless hardships to reach their current level. In terms of knowledge and experience, none of them are free.

In the short time it takes for an incense stick to burn, combined with the scattered information on the public screen and the description from that cultivator from the Jiaochen Realm, Su Fan's growth trajectory was clearly outlined by everyone.

From daring to confront a Nascent Soul family during the Qi Refining stage, to facing the annihilation of a Celestial Race elder during the Void Refining stage, and now slaying over a thousand ninth-tier beast kings in the Spirit Profound Realm as a newly promoted Integration Realm cultivator, every step he took was filled with unimaginable legend and danger.

They even figured out several possibilities as to why Su Fan came from the Jiaochen Realm to the Lingxuan Realm.

The most widely accepted theory is that the Celestial Race leader from the Upper Realm, after failing to kill Su Fan despite repeated attempts, opened a Star Gate in a fit of rage and forcibly expelled him from the Jiaochen Realm.

After all, given the strength of that powerful figure from the upper realm, if he truly had a way to kill Su Fan, he would never tolerate such a "hidden danger" continuing to exist among his fellow beings in the lower realm.

The more they figured out Su Fan's past, the stronger their doubts became.

At this moment, the eyes of countless Nascent Soul Realm experts are focused on the same question.

That kid was clearly only at the Refinement of Void Realm back then, so how did he manage to withstand the annihilation attempt by that Celestial Race's upper realm bigwig?

You must understand that even these old monsters at the Integration Realm, who are already at the top of the pyramid of cultivators in the Spirit Profound Realm, are still formidable opponents.

If faced with such a desperate situation, one would probably only have the option of offering one's neck for slaughter.

What a joke! That was the true form of a powerful figure from the upper realm. The power of even a casual strike from him was enough to easily destroy the primordial spirit and physical body of a cultivator at the Integration Realm.

After a long silence on the public chat, someone finally couldn't help but ask a question.

"A Void Refinement cultivator was wiped out by a powerful figure from the Upper Realm? How is that possible? Even for us peak Integration Realm cultivators, it would be difficult to even move a finger under that kind of pressure. How could a mere Void Refinement cultivator survive..."

This comment seemed to break the ice, and more voices of doubt and curiosity followed.

In an instant, the public chat was filled with speculation about how Su Fan withstood the annihilation. Each explanation was somewhat unbelievable, yet people couldn't help but want to find out the truth.

After all, this matter has exceeded their understanding of the rules of the cultivation world. If it is true that a cultivator at the Void Refinement stage escaped from the hands of a powerful figure in the Heart Realm, it would be enough to overturn all their past experiences.

The debate intensified, but no one could come up with a reasonable explanation.
