Gou in the world of comprehension

Chapter 1498 Finally, they managed to get the blame out of the way.
buzzing...

The entire world trembled slightly at that moment.

It was as if some terrifying figure was about to cross over from another realm, their overwhelming pressure suppressing the Netherworld.

In the perception of the divine senses of Fengming Divine Venerable and others, it seemed as if a great sun was about to descend upon the human world from the distant horizon.

The energy was as dazzling as the sun, almost scorching one's senses, filling the entire world.

Then, a huge, ethereal phantom, like the sun descending, faintly emerged from the enormous crack.

A powerful aura suppressed the entire world.

Gradually, the enormous phantom became clearer and clearer.

He was an elderly man with a refined appearance, a long beard that flowed down his chin, and wearing a feathered robe and a tall crown, his robes fluttering like those of a fairy.

A pair of slightly narrow eyes, yet revealing a deep and wise light, are looking down upon this world from the high sky.

Phoenix Cry God Venerable hurriedly led the many cultivators participating in the trial in the square to pay homage to the illusory figure in the sky.

Although what descended this time was merely an avatar of a certain being from the Daoist sect of the upper realm, it was still an overwhelming force against cultivators in the lower realm.

The clone of this powerful figure from the upper realm swept his gaze across the plaza and suddenly frowned.

He glanced at Phoenix Cry God and said indifferently, "Is this all there is..."

The other party's words carried a hint of questioning, which left Phoenix Cry God Venerable at a loss for words.

He understood perfectly what the big shot's clone meant.

However, since Su Fan did not participate in the trial, Phoenix Cry God Venerable could only pretend to be ignorant.

Anyway, I've already sent out the notices. What can I do if they don't come? I can't just force them to come.

The problem is, we can't find anyone.

And he can't even beat that kid.

"Reporting to Senior, all those who participated in the Heavenly Gate Trial are here..."

At this point, Senior Brother Fengming thought for a moment.

"We've notified all the exceptionally talented disciples from the Lingxuan Realm. Except for a very few who couldn't make it to the Heavenly Gate Trial due to special circumstances, the rest are already here..."

After hearing what Fengming God Venerable said, the other party ignored him and simply raised his hand and waved it lightly.

"Whizzing……"

As the other party raised his hand and waved it, the disciples who had gathered in the square of the Heavenly Gate Hall to participate in the trial instantly soared into the sky.

The densely packed crowd was like shooting stars, instantly sucked into the huge crack in the sky.

Immediately afterwards, the huge phantom that had been floating in the sky also vanished without a trace, leaving only the huge crack.

Seeing that the avatar of that powerful figure from the upper realm had left, Senior Brother Fengming finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Despite being a cultivator at the late-stage Great Perfection of the Integration Realm, the pressure from his opponent was immense.

It's like a toddler learning to walk facing an adult.

Regardless, Senior Brother Fengming has already said everything in front of that avatar of the powerful figure from the upper realm.

Anyway, we at Tianmen Hall will not take the blame for this.

In the past, the trials at Tianmen would take several months, and Senior Brother Fengming secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At least in the short term, it has nothing to do with him.

This period of time kept him extremely busy, and the matter of Su Fan also caused him great worry.

Finally, I can have a break for a while.

"Alright, everyone's been incredibly busy lately, go back and rest..."

Senior Brother Fengming gave a brief instruction to the group of cultivators around him, then turned and left.

But before he could take more than a few steps, a thought suddenly came to his mind.

"I heard there's a cultivator here with considerable talent in the Thunder Dao. Why didn't he come to the Heavenly Gate Trial this time..."

Upon receiving this thought, Senior Brother Fengming couldn't help but smile wryly to himself.

It seems his guess was right; the fact that the Heavenly Gate Trial was able to be held more than a hundred years ahead of schedule is probably related to that kid.

"Reporting to the senior, our disciple with the strongest talent in the Thunder Dao in the Lingxuan Realm has exhausted all his vital energy, mana, and spiritual sense due to casting a spell beyond his level. He is currently in seclusion to heal his injuries and that's why he missed this trial..."

"Where is he...?"

"Before the trial began, we contacted him many times, but he never replied. We tried to organize people to search for him, and even hired a number of divination masters, but we still came up empty-handed..."

"Where is that disciple located...?"

Upon hearing this, the Phoenix Cry God immediately informed the other party of the location of "New Guangtian".

After that, the clone of that powerful figure from the upper realm stopped paying attention to him.

Seeing that the other party had stopped sending him telepathic messages, Phoenix Cry God Venerable breathed a sigh of relief.

They've finally managed to get rid of the blame.

At dawn, Su Fan was sitting cross-legged by the pond next to the thatched hut, engrossed in reading an ancient book.

Suddenly, he felt a tingling sensation on his scalp, and all the hairs on his body stood on end.

Su Fan frowned, put down the ancient book in his hand, got up from the ground, closed his eyes, and sensed his surroundings.

However, nothing seemed amiss.

But Su Fan trusted his intuition; that feeling he had just experienced was clearly a harbinger of impending crisis.

This extreme sensitivity to crisis has saved him countless times.

For some reason, Su Fan always felt as if someone was watching him, a feeling that gave him the creeps.

Before coming to the portable secret realm, he had entered the void in advance, and even placed the jade key of the secret realm in the void.

At least in this realm, it's impossible for anyone to find his trace.

Could it be...

Thinking of this, Su Fan mentally calculated the time and realized that it was currently the time for the Heavenly Gate Trial.

impossible……

All I did was cast a spell beyond my level and severely injure the true form of a great demon from the upper realm. It can't be that serious, can it?

But that feeling just now couldn't lie; it really felt like a pair of eyes were watching me.

Su Fan could no longer sit still. He left the secret realm and came to the gray void outside.

His gaze sharpened, and a vertical eye instantly appeared between his brows, its bright green pupils darting about.

Su Fan fully unleashed his divine sense, taking in every movement within a radius of thousands of miles of void.

However, he found nothing amiss, and he was 100% certain that there was no trace of aura in the surrounding void.

"Kid, you're pretty alert..."

At that moment, a thought exploded in his mind, making every pore on his body tremble.

"Who are you……"

The other party did not answer Su Fan's questioning through his mind.

"Why don't you go and participate in the Heavenly Gate Trials...?"

Upon receiving this thought, Su Fan felt a chill run down his spine; he could now confirm the other party's identity. This person was undoubtedly a terrifying being from the Daoist sect of the Upper Realm.

What have I done to deserve being approached by such a terrifying being?

"Senior, this disciple cast a spell beyond my level, exhausting my vital energy, magical power, and spiritual consciousness. I am currently in seclusion to heal my injuries..."

"Heh... I see you're alright..."

Well, even though he's hiding in the void, they can still clearly sense his current state.

"This disciple has only just recovered, and there are still some hidden problems in the body. Currently, I am still resting..."

This time, the other party did not expose his lie.

"Can you come out and speak? Although I can sense your location, I can't enter the void..."

Alright, they already know where I am, so let's not hide it anymore.

Thinking of this, Su Fan's figure instantly disappeared from the void.

When he reappeared, he was already inside a cave in a large mountain.

Su Fan walked out of the cave and saw an old man sitting cross-legged on a flat blue stone, looking at him with a smile.

Although the other party's figure was incredibly solid, Su Fan could still tell that it was an illusory phantom.

The old man's identity is clearly that of a terrifying being from the Daoist sect of the upper realm.

He had his hair simply tied in a bun, and he was dressed in hemp clothes and straw sandals. He sat there relaxed, as if he had blended into the surrounding scenery.

He simply sat there quietly, yet blended seamlessly with the surrounding scenery. His natural and unpretentious demeanor made Su Fan feel at ease at just one glance.

Strictly speaking, this clone is very likely a wisp of the soul of that powerful figure from the upper realm.

Without a physical body, there's no way to talk about magical power or vital energy.

Even so, Su Fan still felt an immense pressure emanating from the other party.

This was merely a wisp of the soul of that powerful human from the upper realm.

If the opponent were to descend in their true form, what a magnificent and spectacular scene it would be.

Su Fan quickly stepped forward and bowed deeply to the other party.

"Disciple Su Fan greets Senior..."

This senior figure from the Daoist sect of the upper realm should be at the Mahayana stage. Su Fan didn't know what honorific title to use, so he simply addressed him as "senior."

"I heard that you once used a forbidden lightning technique that was beyond your level..."

Upon hearing what this powerful figure's clone said, Su Fan was immediately puzzled.

The other party is far away in the upper realm, how could he know that he had used forbidden lightning techniques?

The old man probably guessed what he was thinking, so he explained it to him.

"I am also a cultivator of the Thunder Path. Although I am far away in the Upper Realm, I have sensed a faint aura of chaotic thunder, which seems to originate from the same source as the cultivation technique I practice..."

Upon hearing the old man's words, Su Fan immediately perked up.

If what this powerful being from the upper realm said is true, perhaps it can help him unravel some of the mysteries of the "Evil-Suppressing Thunder Seal".

Thinking of this, he quickly took out a jade slip from his storage ring and handed it to the other party. It was the fragment of the Thunder Dao that the Divine Venerable Hongshang had given him.

The old man took the jade slip, but instead of placing it on his forehead, he scanned it with his divine sense.

He was initially pleasantly surprised, but then fell into deep regret.

The old man handed the jade slip to Su Fan, then took a deep breath.

"What a pity, your thunder magic is also incomplete..."

Upon hearing this, Su Fan was completely bewildered by the other party's words.

Why did the old man use the word "again"? The only possibility is that he had also obtained the same lightning-based cultivation technique, which might also be a fragment.

Su Fan steeled himself and quickly voiced the question that had been lingering in his mind.

"Senior...do you know about the 'Evil-Suppressing Thunder Seal'?"

Upon hearing Su Fan's question, the old man was stunned, his eyes filled with shock.

"You've mastered the 'Evil-Suppressing Thunder Seal,' quick... let me see..."

Su Fan quickly raised his hand, presenting the Thunder Sound Mark on his palm to the other party.

"what……"

The old man stood up from the blue stone, walked to Su Fan's side, and carefully examined his palm.

He nodded and said, "It really is the 'Evil-Suppressing Thunder Seal.' How exactly did you manage to comprehend this thing, kid...?"

Su Fan smiled and said, "I was lucky; it was by chance that I ended up out here without really knowing what was going on..."

He chuckled as he said this.

"Unfortunately, even today, I still don't understand what the 'Evil-Suppressing Thunder Seal' is all about..."

The old man chuckled and said, "It's right that you don't understand. Even many thunder cultivators in the upper realm haven't grasped it. You've got a good opportunity, kid..."

Su Fan would never say that this was a byproduct of his tribulation under heavenly lightning when he broke through in the Evil Spirit Realm.

"By the way, I notice something strange about the magical power and spiritual consciousness within you. Where exactly did you break through to the Integration Realm...?"

"Before my breakthrough, I was fortunate enough to find a strange and eerie place..."

Upon hearing this, the old man suddenly realized, "No wonder! I was wondering why you didn't seem like a proper cultivator. Since you chose that kind of place to break through, it makes sense..."

You're the one who's not serious, your whole family is not serious.

Su Fan was really annoyed. What exactly did I do wrong?

"You chose to break through in a place like a place full of evil spirits and monsters, and it seems you haven't fully integrated the evil spirit characteristics yet. Although you've condensed a second Yin spirit, this is ultimately just a temporary measure. If you don't resolve this soon, you'll inevitably encounter trouble in the future..."

At this point, the old man raised his hand and gently tapped it.

Su Fan felt a massive surge of information flood his mind, almost causing his brain to explode.

"I don't know how to solve this either, but I once destroyed an evil spirit plane and obtained some ancient texts there. I'll give them to you to study slowly when you get back..."

At this point, the old man seemed to remember something.

"By the way, I obtained a forbidden lightning technique from your incomplete book, which helped me a lot. I'll teach you a forbidden lightning technique in return, and we'll be even..."

Su Fan was overjoyed and immediately bowed deeply to the old man.

"Thank you so much, senior..."

Upon hearing this, the old man quickly waved his hand.

"We were just having a fair trade. We won't have any more dealings in the future, so let's leave it at that..."

Hearing the old man say that, Su Fan felt quite uncomfortable.

I had so many questions I wanted to ask them.

But this old man clearly didn't want to have anything to do with him; to put it bluntly, he didn't want to have anything to do with you at all.

However, he was also self-aware; the old man was, after all, a powerful figure at the Mahayana realm of the Upper Realm Daoist sect.

For someone to trade with a lowly cultivator like you from the lower realm without openly robbing you, their character is already exceptional.
