Chapter 1495 There are always unscrupulous people who want to harm me

Several streaks of light, accompanied by a sharp whooshing sound, tore through the sky and landed steadily on the square outside the Heavenly Gate Hall in the blink of an eye, stirring up fine dust.

As soon as Phoenix Cry God and his senior brothers withdrew their escape light, the disciples guarding the hall quickly stepped forward, bowed deeply in worship, and as they rose, they respectfully led everyone into the hall by pulling on their side sleeves.

Inside the main hall of Tianmen, wisps of mist hung in the air, and the jade throne in the center was suspended empty, while several elderly men in Taoist robes sat on stone chairs on both sides.

These people were all powerful cultivators at the Integration Realm who guarded this hall, and their bodies were surrounded by a faint spiritual light.

At this moment, the Heavenly Gate Hall was shrouded in mist. The jade throne in the center was empty, while several elderly men dressed in Taoist robes were sitting on the stone chairs on both sides. They were all powerful figures in the Integration Realm who guarded the Heavenly Gate Hall.

"Senior Brother Fengming, you've finally arrived..."

Upon seeing them enter the hall, an elderly man with white hair on the left immediately rose from his seat, his voice filled with barely suppressed urgency.

"This decree from the upper realm came so suddenly; it's really quite strange..."

Phoenix Cry God nodded slightly, walked to the empty chair and sat down, his knuckles lightly resting on the armrest, his solemn gaze sweeping across the hall.

"Fellow Daoists, do you have any clues? The period of over a hundred years has been suddenly shortened to three years. What exactly is the intention of the Upper Realm in doing this...?"

The hall fell silent instantly, so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Everyone looked at each other, and finally slowly shook their heads.

After a moment, an elderly man in a green robe on the right pondered, "Could it be... related to that devastating lightning spell from a few days ago...?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall suddenly exploded.

“You mean that kid Su Fan…” someone immediately chimed in.

"But he's just a Nascent Soul cultivator from the lower realm. Even if he could severely injure a great demon from the upper realm, it might not be enough to make the upper realm take such a big step..."

"Hard to say……"

The old man in the green robe stroked his beard, his eyes showing a hint of solemnity.

"The power of that lightning spell is far beyond what the lower realms could possess. Perhaps... Su Fan is hiding something that even the upper realms are interested in..."

Phoenix Cry God Venerable tapped his fingertips on the armrest of the stone chair, his brows furrowing involuntarily.

"Regardless of the reason, three years is simply too short a time. Among the cultivators of our Lingxuan Realm, there are probably very few who are truly prepared to break through to the Heavenly Gate..."

No sooner had the words been spoken than footsteps sounded outside the hall, and the head elder of the Heavenly Gate Hall walked in carrying a scroll of golden edict.

"Fellow Daoists, the decree from the Upper Realm has a second half..."

The elder in charge unfolded the edict, his voice booming.

"Those who pass the trials during this Heavenly Gate opening can directly enter a sect in the Upper Realm for cultivation, without having to wait for the next assessment..."

"What..." Everyone was shocked.

It should be noted that in the past, when the Heavenly Gate was opened, even if cultivators from the lower realm passed the trials, they could only obtain cultivation resources from the upper realm.

To enter a sect in the upper realm, one must wait for the next assessment; this news is undoubtedly a tremendous opportunity.

Even if cultivators from the lower realm are fortunate enough to pass the trials and go to the upper realm, they will start from the bottom as independent cultivators, and it is extremely difficult to join a sect in the upper realm.

There's no way around it; even though those cultivators at the Great Perfection of the Integration Realm in the lower realm who can pass the trials are all exceptionally talented geniuses.

But in the eyes of those cultivators from the upper realms, they were nothing.

Even if a cultivator who comes to the lower realm is very outstanding, he is still discriminated against by those native cultivators from the upper realm.

Therefore, the cultivators who pass the trials and go to the upper realm this time will have a rare opportunity to directly join a sect.

However, after a moment's thought, everyone frowned.

Why did the Upper Realm suddenly offer such a huge temptation this time? There's probably more to it than meets the eye.

The upper realm has historically ignored the Lingxuan Realm, and even issuing decrees is extremely rare.

However, Senior Brother Fengming had some guesses in his mind. He felt that the fact that the Upper Realm had offered such generous conditions this time was probably related to that kid.

Su Fan was completely unaware of the commotion happening outside.

At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged by the pool next to the thatched hut, healing his injuries. Although it had been more than a month, he was still extremely tired and weak.

With his eyes closed, Su Fan manipulated the life force of the chaotic lightning, slowly repairing the damaged meridians and sea of ​​consciousness within his body.

After a while, he slowly opened his eyes.

Su Fan sighed. Despite the life force of the chaotic lightning, a full recovery of his body was still a long way off.

In any case, it will take at least half a year for his physical functions to fully recover.

There's no way around it, this really can't be rushed, we can only take it one step at a time.

Thinking of this, Su Fan took out his communication array plate from his storage ring.

More than a month has passed since he used the "Evil-Suppressing Thunder Seal" to severely injure that giant ape demon from the upper realm, and he still knows nothing about what's happening outside.

Therefore, Su Fan wanted to contact his Martial Uncle Hong Ling to find out about the recent situation of "Xin Guangtian".

But as soon as he took out the communication array plate from his storage ring, the communication array plate began to vibrate continuously.

It seems that his Martial Aunt Hongling has sent him quite a few messages over the past month.

Su Fan smiled, then picked up the communication array plate and checked the messages one by one.

In just over a month, Aunt Hongling had sent him no less than a hundred messages. It seems this woman is really anxious.

It's obvious without even guessing that the sect must have asked her to contact them.

After all, their affair had spread throughout "New Guangtian," and now only Martial Aunt Hongling could contact him.

In the past, Su Fan only glanced at the messages she sent, and he only read the last few.

"Where are you? Why aren't you replying to my messages..."

"That lightning-based spell, was it you who unleashed it...?"

"That powerful demon from the 'Mountain and Sea Realm,' was it you who severely injured it...?"

The dozens of messages that his Martial Aunt Hongling has sent him recently are all about this matter.

Su Fan thought for a moment, then replied with a message.

"Uncle-Master, I exhausted all my vital energy, mana, and spiritual sense, unleashing a lightning-based Dao technique beyond my level, and only then did I barely manage to severely injure that great demon from the upper realm..."

Upon receiving Su Fan's message, Martial Aunt Hongling immediately became drenched in sweat, trembling with excitement.

Although she had long guessed that the devastating lightning-based spell was probably unleashed by Su Fan, after all, she had already experienced the power of lightning from this guy.

But when Su Fan admitted it himself, she was still so excited that her whole body was restless.

I knew it was you. I knew I hadn't misjudged you.

It's a pity this guy isn't around, otherwise I would definitely have let him...

When the two were deeply in love, Su Fan was just a cultivator at the Refinement Realm. She was ruined by that guy, and the huge contrast fascinated her.

Later, Su Fan broke through to the Integration Realm, and the two became cultivators of the same level.

In addition, that guy kept doing amazing things, so now Aunt Hongling's mentality has changed, and she has begun to grovel before Su Fan.

"Where are you? When are you coming back? 'Xin Guangtian' and all the senior brothers in the sect are looking forward to your early return..."

If I go back now, those old guys will drive me crazy.

"Going back now is probably not an option. I overexerted my body's capabilities, activated a Dao technique beyond my cultivation level, and almost died. Fortunately, my cultivation foundation wasn't damaged. I'm currently healing in a secluded place..."

"Are you alright? Do you need me to take care of you...?" Seriously? You coming over here isn't taking care of me, is it?

He's clearly just lusting after her body.

"No need, thank you for your concern, Uncle-Master. I'll be in seclusion here for a few years, and I should be able to recover to my original state..."

"Let me go and take care of you, otherwise I won't feel comfortable leaving you alone..."

"Uncle-Master, I'm currently behind the strange beasts in the 'Mountain and Sea Realm,' so you'd better not come over. It's too dangerous here..."

"You don't know yet, do you? The beasts from the 'Mountain and Sea Realm' have already left 'New Guangtian.' Now that all the high-level beasts are gone, 'New Guangtian' is left with only a large number of low-level beasts..."

What the heck...

With all the mythical beasts from the "Mountain and Sea Realm" gone, wouldn't this great battle be over?

Hearing that the war was completely over, Su Fan was overjoyed.

That's great! From now on, he won't have to fight anymore in "New Guangtian".

Taking advantage of the peaceful days to come, Su Fan could find a beautiful place with clear waters and lush mountains and comfortably seclude himself for decades.

He devoted himself to studying and comprehending the Dao of Thunder, and would not leave seclusion until he had thoroughly understood the "Evil-Suppressing Thunder Seal" and the origin of the Dao of Thunder.

"That's great! I've been living in fear these past few days, afraid that those ninth-tier beast kings would find me. Now I don't have to worry anymore..."

"By the way, our Lingxuan Realm is about to open its Heavenly Gate..."

Upon seeing the reply from his Martial Aunt Hongling, Su Fan was completely dumbfounded.

Isn't it still over a hundred years until the next opening of the Heavenly Gate? How come it's happening early?

"When did this happen...?"

“In our realm, cultivators at the Integration Realm can communicate using their identity jade talismans. Don’t you ever look at them…”

What the hell...

Since breaking through to the Integration Realm, Su Fan hasn't actually been to that platform. He'll go take a look when he has some free time someday.

"Why did our Lingxuan Realm open the Heavenly Gate ahead of schedule this time...?"

"I don't know either. It's said that a little over a month ago, the Heavenly Gate Hall suddenly received a decree from the Daoist sects of the upper realm..."

Su Fan had absolutely no interest in the so-called "opening of the Heavenly Gate".

Anyway, he wasn't a cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Integration Realm, so the "Opening the Heavenly Gate" trial wouldn't be his turn.

"This has nothing to do with me, I only recently broke through..."

"This 'Opening the Heavenly Gate' is different. All Nascent Soul Realm cultivators in the Spirit Profound Realm can participate in the trial, but they will need to go through a selection process. Others may not be able to pass, but you will definitely be able to pass the trial..."

Forget it, it's better not to go to the upper realm of this world.

The human and Taoist sects in the upper realm are currently engaged in a long-standing war with the demon race. Going to the upper realm now would only make them cannon fodder.

I'd better stay in the lower realm and study the Dao of Thunder properly.

If he were to fully comprehend the method of fusion of the Thunder Dao, his strength would increase significantly, and only then would he be able to protect himself even slightly when he went to the Upper Realm.

What are we going there for now? To fill in the gaps on the front lines?

"What a pity, I'm afraid I'll miss such a good opportunity. It will take at least several years to fully recover..."

"Where are you? My fellow disciples and I will come looking for you. Perhaps we can find a way to help you recover as soon as possible..."

Martial Aunt Hongling was also anxious. Now, everyone in the sect, including the top figures of the entire "New Guangtian", was hoping that Su Fan would return as soon as possible.

They all wanted to ask him about that lightning-based Dao technique.

That's why these old guys kept urging Aunt Hongling to bring Su Fan back.

Su Fan knew perfectly well what those old guys were up to.

If he were to go back now, he would definitely be harassed by those people endlessly, and his days would never be peaceful.

Su Fan had already decided that he would not be leaving seclusion for the next few decades.

With that time, there are many other things you could do.

"Forget it, Uncle-Master. I'm about to go into seclusion. My healing technique requires me to be in a deep sleep, and I can't be disturbed by the slightest external influence..."

Without a second thought, Su Fan started spouting lies.

Anyway, you won't be able to find me.

"I see. So you don't want to go to the Upper Realm? It would be such a pity to miss this opportunity..."

What a waste!

For others, going to the upper realm is a dream come true.

But Su Fan is different; he wouldn't go to the Upper Realm at this time.

Even if those powerful figures from the upper realms came to fetch him in a grand sedan chair, he wouldn't go.

And for some reason, Su Fan always felt that something was off about this matter.

His intuition told him that the early opening of the Heavenly Gate by the Upper Realm Daoist sect was inextricably linked to the "Evil-Suppressing Thunder Seal" he had unleashed.

There's nothing I can do; there are always treacherous subjects trying to harm me.

Su Fan had to be careful.

So at this time, how could Su Fan possibly go to the Upper Realm? He's too busy hiding to even think about it.

Although that's what I thought, I certainly couldn't say it out loud.

"Uncle-Master, of course I want to, I dream about it... but I'm really powerless to help..."

Su Fan replied to the message, but there was no reply from his Martial Aunt Hong Ling for quite a while. She was probably communicating with people from the sect.

It took quite a while before the other party replied with a message.

"Then you should go into seclusion for now. Once your injuries have improved slightly, return to the sect as soon as possible..."

Upon seeing the message from his Martial Aunt Hongling, Su Fan quickly seized the opportunity to back down.

"Uncle-Master, then I will begin my seclusion. Don't contact me for at least the next year. Once my injuries have shown some improvement, I will return to the sect as soon as possible..."

Su Fan didn't give a definitive answer, just to leave them with some hope and prevent them from getting into a never-ending conflict with him.

He chatted with his Martial Aunt Hongling for a few more minutes, then threw the communication array plate into his storage ring.

He's not planning to pay attention to them these past few years. Anyway, he's already started to shut himself away, so it's normal for him to be out of contact for a few years.

Let's wait until the "Opening of the Heavenly Gate" is completely over before discussing it further.

No matter what, Su Fan would absolutely not walk into the line of fire.

At this moment, the "Guangfa Daozong" has gathered old monsters in the Integration Realm from all over "Xin Guangtian", most of whom are top-level big shots from various super sects.

The purpose of these old guys coming to the "Guangfa Dao Sect" is self-evident: they want to know what exactly happened with the earth-shattering lightning-based Dao technique that Su Fan unleashed.

Their plans were quite ambitious, but unfortunately, they all came up empty-handed.
