Perfect World: I Am Eternal

Chapter 449 Preparation
"boom!"

On this day, Lin Fan emerged from seclusion, dragging his weary body, covered in blood, as he withdrew from the golden giant monument.

"How is the child?" someone called from afar.

Then, a blurry figure appeared, with eyes as sharp as lightning; it was Meng Tianzheng.

"Senior Meng, you lied to me!" Lin Fan said with a resentful expression.

“Uh…” Meng Tianzheng was puzzled.

Lin Fan then explained his experience inside the metal, which was not at all as he had been told beforehand; he had to defeat the brand to pass the level.

Meng Tianzheng was speechless for a moment, because this was different from what he knew. None of the geniuses who had come to challenge him before had encountered such a freakish situation.

It was obvious that Lin Fan received special treatment, the difficulty of which was increased significantly, and he encountered the Holy Emperor at his peak.

At this moment, Meng Tianzheng glanced at Lin Fan, not knowing what to say, and could only deduce that it was due to bloodline.

"It seems that it won't be so easy for you to get through. You'll have to defeat him when he was at his peak."

"Damn, this is targeting us, it's too difficult!" Lin Fan said indignantly.

Even Meng Tianzheng found this difficult; it was something that most people could hardly do.

He knew best how powerful and talented the Holy Emperor was in his youth, and had personally guided him.

Even Meng Tianzheng himself felt inferior to him in terms of physique compared to his younger days, as his foundation was not as profound.

"Don't be discouraged. If you can persevere for more than half a month without defeat, and hone your skills a bit more, you might be able to get through this," Meng Tianzheng encouraged.

At the same time, he guessed the intention behind it: it was simply to let Lin Fan surpass him, rather than to inherit his legacy.

"Next, you will learn from me for a while before you go to try out the challenges."

As Meng Tianzheng spoke, he bestowed a pile of jade books, all of which were ancient texts inscribed with immortal script.

Lin Fan immediately took it and studied it carefully. It contained not only secret techniques, but also various deductions and experiences based on the body as a seed.

"Breaking through to the Celestial God Realm is not easy, especially when using one's own body as a seed and taking a different path; one must be cautious."

Meng Tianzheng earnestly warned that a series of strange and terrifying things would happen when walking at the forefront of this path.

Back then, both he and the Holy Emperor experienced it, but each person's experience was slightly different.

For example, some people saw ancient people ascending to immortality at crucial moments; others saw a pair of enormous eyes, as if the heavens were gazing upon them...

In short, it was extremely eerie, and no one could say exactly what it was, but most people fell ill because of it.

Therefore, he told Lin Fan to prepare well, constantly refine his skills, increase the chances of success, and not to be impatient for quick results.

In fact, for most cultivators, spending seven or eight years in the Heavenly God Realm is considered normal.

Even the elites of the Immortal Academy and the Holy Academy will not immediately think about breaking through, because this realm is too important, as it concerns their future path of cultivation. They must reach perfection and proceed with utmost caution.

In comparison, Lin Fan made rapid progress and reached the Heavenly God Realm in a relatively short time, so there was no need for him to rush to break through.

However, Lin Fan was not satisfied with this. He believed that he had been breaking through the limits all the way and had the confidence to make a breakthrough and grow rapidly.

Therefore, he spent only a few days carefully reading through this collection of books, indicating that he was ready.

"Besides, we should always be prepared for any eventuality, so that we can avoid death and destruction if we fail," Meng Tianzheng said.

"Is there anything else needed?" Lin Fan asked.

"Various rare and precious materials. If you fail, you can save your life; if you succeed, you can accelerate the process and advance further."

Meng Tianzheng was serious and rattled off more than a dozen rare and precious materials, such as the Sun God Vine, the Heavenly God Tree, and the Evil-Repelling Bamboo. Without exception, each one was extraordinary, none of them were ordinary, and their value was terrifyingly high.

Because those things are so hard to find. For example, there are only four Heavenly Trees in the world, and one of their fruits can make a person instantly become a god.

Where can one find such a divine tree?
Fortunately, the Holy Emperor Palace has the Heavenly Divine Tree, which was brought out by the Holy Emperor from the ancient ruins of the Three Thousand Dao Provinces.

In addition, many other rare herbs, minerals, and even the blood of the Ten Fiends are required, all of which are rare treasures and excessively extravagant.

"Senior Meng, the Holy Emperor Palace has all these things. I'll have someone send a copy over right away," Lin Fan said.

As the young master of the Holy Emperor Palace, he possesses the world, unlike Shi Hao who struggles alone.

Many rare treasures that others might never find in their entire lives, he only needs to say a word, and someone will naturally deliver them to him.

Meng Tianzheng nodded. The Holy Emperor Palace has become wealthy over the years and has collected many good things to refine the evolution fluid, so it certainly has nothing to lack.

In fact, he had collected a lot of it himself in the past and had basically prepared it, but he gave some to the Holy Emperor and now there is not much left.

"There are two more things that I doubt the Holy Emperor Palace has, so you'll have to find them yourself," Meng Tianzheng said.

"What's missing?" Lin Fan asked, puzzled.

"The Evil-Repelling Bamboo has more than twenty sections, and the Yellow Spring Fruit is at least nine thousand years old," Meng Tianzheng said, mentioning two rare divine objects.

The former is a type of ancient bamboo, as white as jade, which grows one segment every five hundred years, so twenty segments would mean it takes more than ten thousand years.

However, even seedlings of this kind are hard to find, and they don't survive when transplanted, let alone mature ancient bamboo.

The latter is a legendary fruit that grows in extremely yin places, and it is also very difficult to find.

“I have eaten the Yellow Spring Fruit before, but as for the Evil-Repelling Bamboo, there’s no need for that. My Supreme Bone in my chest has the same effect,” Lin Fan said.

"Huh?!" Meng Tianzheng was very surprised.

Then, he grabbed Lin Fan and examined him carefully, discovering that his primordial spirit and physical body were terrifyingly strong, surpassing the extreme realm.

It's obvious at a glance that the other person has been bathed in rare and precious herbs since childhood; it's as if they grew up on elixirs of immortality.

"I've also eaten the Golden Bodhi Fruit... and cleansed my body with dragon's heart blood, phoenix blood, and immortal medicine... Recently, I obtained the Wang family's Purple Mansion Grass," Lin Fan recounted.

Meng Tianzheng was speechless. He didn't know what to say about this treatment. Even the Celestial King's own son couldn't be treated like this.

One has to admire Lin Fan's strong foundation, rich experience, and endless opportunities—he's ridiculously gifted.

At this moment, Meng Tianzheng began to understand why Lin Fan's test was different from others, with the difficulty increasing several times over.

In this situation, if the old standards are followed, he will definitely seize the inheritance within the metal tablet.

"In that case, get ready and we'll move on to the next step." Meng Tianzheng didn't say anything more.

Moreover, his long-dormant heart stirred again, and he felt that there was hope for success in "using his own body as a seed".

Soon after, according to the list, the Holy Emperor Palace sent a large number of divine objects, dazzling and radiant.

At the foot of a sacred mountain, Meng Tianzheng immediately began making arrangements, preparing several medicinal pools for brewing.

Soon, a fragrant medicinal aroma filled the mountains and forests, as if the place had become a fairyland.

"Let's begin!" Meng Tianzheng said with an extremely serious expression.

Lin Fan nodded. He had made all the preparations and was just waiting for the breakthrough.
