Perfect World: I Am Eternal

Chapter 356 Winning People Over with "Courtesy"

Lin Fan was slightly surprised. Why would people from the Nine Heavens come to the Three Thousand Provinces?

This news came as a complete surprise.

Generally speaking, the Three Thousand Provinces are considered barren lands by the beings of the Nine Heavens, and they might not visit them even once every few hundred thousand years.

Some even referred to the Three Thousand Provinces as the lower realm, showing extreme contempt for them; the Changsheng Wang family is the best example of this.

This is like the Three Thousand States looking down on the people of the Eight Regions, constantly referring to them as "a calamity from the lower realm" and "descendants of sinful blood."

Lin Fan pondered and felt that this was not an accident, but perhaps related to his trip to the no-man's-land.

Although he used a false identity at the time, anyone who was interested in investigating would surely find clues.

The question is whether the visitor is benevolent or malevolent.

"Let's go, let's go see them," Lin Fan said. Since they've already come knocking, it means it's unavoidable.

……

The main peak of the Butian Sect is magnificent and majestic, shrouded in white mist and adorned with auspicious clouds, resembling a great dragon coiling around, its dragon aura soaring.

Here, waterfalls hang down like a silver river cascading down, and ancient trees stand tall and lush among the cliffs, creating a peaceful and serene atmosphere.

At the summit of the sacred mountain, a magnificent palace stands tall, its golden splendor radiating beyond the realm, accompanied by chaotic energy, exuding an aura of grandeur.

Lin Fan and Yue Chan entered the main hall, where people were already waiting, and each of them was terrifying, surpassing the Heavenly God Realm.

Among them, Lin Fan had met most of the leaders and elders of the Patching Heaven Sect, so there was no need to say more. What was noteworthy were the two old men standing in the middle.

Especially the one in the very center, dressed in a simple gray outfit, who looked quite ordinary, yet even the cult leader could only stand aside and dared not compete with him.

It is obvious that the gray-robed elder must be of extremely high seniority or possess the greatest strength, otherwise he would not command such respect from everyone.

"Xiao Fan, these two are senior venerable figures from the Nine Heavens Dao Sect. They have some matters to discuss with you. Just answer them seriously," said the Patching Heaven Sect Master.

"Supreme?!" Lin Fan exclaimed in surprise.

"No, in front of this senior, I am not worthy of being called a supreme being. I am just like you, a Transcendent One. Please don't flatter me."

The richly dressed old man quickly spoke up, took a step back, and stole a glance at the gray-clad man beside him.

Beings who have reached the first level of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are sometimes complimented as supreme beings, but that doesn't mean they truly are supreme beings.

They would never dare to claim such a title in front of a true supreme being, because the one who is merely a "遁一" (遁一 is a "遁一") is one who is merely a "至尊" ​​(至尊 is a "至尊"), and the difference between the two is enormous.

"Could it be... that the senior who fought against the old Supreme of the Immortal Palace a few days ago was this person?" An elder asked in surprise, thinking of something.

That night, divine power was overwhelming, the star field collapsed, and it shocked hundreds of continents, leaving many people with unforgettable memories.

Subsequently, news spread that the Immortal Palace had been attacked, causing an uproar among countless living beings.

Even now, people are still discussing and speculating about who was responsible.

What the elders of the Patching Heaven Sect didn't expect was that the person was now standing right in front of them.

Lin Fan seemed to be deep in thought. Perhaps only he knew the reason behind it, but he imagined that Di Chong's expression at that time must have been quite interesting.

Indeed, that was the case. After learning the truth, the successor of the Immortal Palace felt worse than if he had eaten shit.

Because Lin Fan not only survived the no-man's land and killed the people he sent, but also advanced to the Sacred Sacrifice Domain, becoming comparable to a Celestial God.

Besides that, what was most hateful and what angered Di Chong the most was that they were still causing trouble outside under his name, making him take the blame.

Just then, as Lin Fan was pondering, the gray-robed old man turned around, revealing a face with white hair and a youthful countenance.

"Senior, it's you!" Lin Fan exclaimed in surprise, recognizing the person at a glance.

It was the old man he had met in the ancient city in the no-man's-land!
The other party was selling blind boxes on the street at the time, so he bought one and opened it to find the Soul-Nourishing Wood that could replace life. However, he never expected that the old man was actually a Supreme Being who had followed him all the way to the Three Thousand Provinces.

"Young friend, we meet again." The old man in gray smiled, with a hint of something inexplicable in his expression.

Everyone was surprised; Lin Fan knew the Supreme Being?

"Do you know him?" Yuechan asked. She had met the old man a few days ago; he was the one who wanted to take her as his apprentice.

Lin Fan nodded and gave a brief explanation, but he was also puzzled as to why the other party was here looking for him.

"Not bad, his foundation is as solid as a little monster's. He surpasses the limits in every realm, showing his true potential," the gray-robed old man commented, smiling with satisfaction.

"Him?" Lin Fan was full of questions. This old man had even started using riddles, which made him furious.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I am the Grand Elder of the Immortal Academy—Xiang Zhili!" said the gray-robed old man.

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan was startled. He was very familiar with the Immortal Academy.

As its name suggests, the Immortal Academy is related to immortals and specializes in teaching people the methods of the previous era, guiding them on the path to immortality.

However, times have changed, years have passed, and the world is no longer suitable for becoming an immortal, making it impossible to reach the end of this path.

Even so, the Immortal Academy is still extremely famous in the Nine Heavens, and the younger generation of all the great immortal families want to break their heads to enter it.

Because he represents the limit of a law, and those who emerge from it are invincible under heaven.

"It seems you've heard of it. That makes things easier. I even brought people from your Patching Heaven Path to avoid being accused of being a fraud."

The old man in gray joked, narrowing his eyes like an old fox.

Beside him, Elder Butiandao was speechless. He had been dragged all this way, only to be a witness for the two little ones.

Even so, he dared not utter a single complaint, for he was very clear about what the person beside him and behind him represented.

Even the Lord of the Heaven-Mending Dao would show some respect to the Grand Elder of the Immortal Academy, and would even address him as a senior.

"What kind of place is the Immortal Academy... Is it similar to the Celestial Immortal Academy in terms of lineage?" Yuechan asked softly.

Not only her, but the rest of the Patching Heaven Sect also didn't know much about it. It was the first time they had heard of it, and they were very curious.

"The Immortal Academy has existed since ancient times, specializing in the cultivation of ancient immortal methods. It is composed of a group of old monsters from the Nine Heavens, whose lowest cultivation level is at least at the Escape One stage. Moreover, the requirements for the academy are extremely high, and it does not accept anyone who is not an unparalleled genius."

"In contrast, there is the Holy Academy, which focuses on the laws of this world and explores the path to the limit. Both of these academies are the highest institutions of learning in the Nine Heavens. Even the scions of immortal families would fight tooth and nail to get into them."

Lin Fan explained.

"What?!" People were stunned by the news.

It should be noted that every Transcendent One expert is a top-tier master in the Three Thousand Provinces, capable of establishing their own sect.

As a result, the teachers in both academies were at least in this position, and the news was truly shocking.

The elders from the Patching Heaven Path all nodded in approval, and the future achievements of the disciples who could enter the two academies would be unimaginable.

It can be said that the Immortal Academy and the Holy Academy are the crystallization of this era, with unparalleled depth in their research on ancient immortal methods and contemporary methods.

At the same time, it enjoys the strongest teaching resources in the world.

There are even rumors that a very few ancient monsters among them have lived for a very long time, and are the same age as this era.

"Senior, are you going to recruit us into the Immortal Academy?" Lin Fan asked.

Xiang Zhili nodded and smiled, "Of course, you can refuse, but I always try to persuade people with courtesy."

Lin Fan: "..."
