Chapter 938 - 888: The Four Great Sects! (2)

Vast World?

Though Qin Fan hasn’t heard "Vast World" many times, it rings familiar to his ears.

The Vast World, pursued by Demi Immortal Qilian, turns out to be the realm represented by the Four Great Hidden Powers?

And not another level beyond the peak of the God Realm?

In other words, does this mean that the peak of the God Realm is the end of Martial Arts Cultivation?

To break through the peak of the God Realm, must one become part of the Four Great Hidden Sects?

Correspondingly, does this imply that any one of the Four Great Hidden Sects can overturn the current Martial Arts World?

While feeling pity for Demi Immortal Qilian’s ignorant beliefs,

Qin Fan couldn’t help but feel shocked!

But the shock didn’t last long.

He quickly thought of the Training Spirit Clan and the Tomb Raider Clan mentioned by the old man.

The Training Spirit Clan deep in Shennongjia and the Training Spirit Sect mentioned by the old man, are they absolutely related?

And the Bai Clan that was wiped out by him over half a year ago, who relied on the Yin Yang Balance Technique and absorbed Yin Essence for cultivation, are they also closely related to the Tomb Raider Clan?

Thinking of this.

Qin Fan smiled!

Smiled with an exceedingly playful expression.

This just got a whole lot more interesting.

The Four Great Sects that form the realm of the Vast World seem to have already formed a relationship with him in some way.

One must say, there’s indeed a taste of Creation working in quirky ways here.

"Brother, what are you laughing at?"

Seeing Qin Fan smile during his explanation,

the old man was suddenly bewildered and dumbfounded.

"Nothing, keep talking! Where do these notions of unrest and hidden disputes come from?" Qin Fan said.

"The Four Great Hidden Sects within the Secret Realm have always been like wells that don’t interfere with each other! There’s none of past grievances among them, and they are even ignorant of each other’s Secret Realm locations. But two months ago, during celestial phenomena symbolizing world dynamics, the Zi Wei Star suddenly fell! During a peaceful era without war, such an event hasn’t been seen for hundreds of years, so my Kunlun ancestor is convinced this is the appearance of the Heavenly Dao, said to be the Ascension opportunity of Creation. My Kunlun ancestor has been meditating and exploring the Immortal Travel Path for hundreds of years and now, with the Dao revealed, invites me to enter the world to search for traces and clues!

However, such thoughts aren’t exclusive to my Kunlun Sect—Penglai, Training Spirit, Tomb Raider—they too are aware, and will equally enter the world, striving for the Dao’s temptation. For them, it will unquestionably rise to a level of life-and-death contention! After all, this concerns the Immortal Travel Path sought after by the Four Great Sects for hundreds of years! If any sect emerges victorious, without a doubt, as one person attains Dao, all will ascended; the entire sect would then embark on a traceable ethereal journey!

Therefore, in this situation, the entry of the Four Great Hidden Sects into the world is bound to stir up a storm in this mundane world! Calm will no longer be possible!"

This secret originally belonging only to the Four Great Hidden Sects was so thoroughly revealed by the old man.

"Aren’t you afraid I might also aim to seize the Dao now that you’ve told me all this? Afraid of adding another powerful foe?"

With the fall of Zi Wei Star, the Dao emerges.

What logic is this?

Besides, two months ago.

Wasn’t that the time of his ultimate showdown with the Child of Heavenly Dao?

Reflecting, Qin Fan finds it increasingly amusing.

"Will you join in the fight to seize the Dao?"

Listening to Qin Fan’s teasing words, the old man remained indifferent and asked.

Join?

If the fall of Zi Wei Star signifies the Dao’s emergence.

Then he himself is where the Dao resides!

Seize? What’s there to seize?

Though he’d never share these words with the old man.

He immediately replied with a smile, "I won’t!"

"That’s the way! Brother, that’s why I want to cling to you! Firstly, for safety, because I can’t figure out what sort of people from the other three sects are entering the world! Secondly, looking at your strength, if you happen to dislike any others from the sects, you’re a boon to me! Haha—I’ve been completely honest, haven’t I? Brother, you know, with my heart on the line, I’ve been utterly honest with you, can you consider taking me in?"

With the main topic finished, the old man returned to his playful and cheeky demeanor.

"Is it really for safety, or are you just planning on using me for a perfect mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind scenario? You’re indeed quite honest, but if I’m not interested in the so-called Dao, maybe I can aid your Kunlun sect, but if I am interested, you will see the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, thanks to me. At the very least, I could use my hand to weaken the other three sects, even seriously injuring them! Haha—old man, don’t forget, often cleverness can lead to folly! Besides, your so-called little cleverness doesn’t make much of a difference!"

Gazing directly into the old man’s seemingly clear and untainted eyes, Qin Fan shook his head with a smile.

During those five hundred years on Cangqiong Continent, what people and things hadn’t he experienced?

For the old man’s scheme, Qin Fan had already seen through him when he was narrating about the Four Great Hidden Sects.

The corners of the eyes twitched uncontrollably upon Qin Fan’s words.

But in the next second, the old man covered it up.

With an aggrieved look, he gazed at Qin Fan, pretending to be incredibly sad and wronged, said, "Brother, that’s unjust! You think I could be that kind of person? And do you think I could dare harbor such thoughts? Lack courage even to be barely struck down by one move from you, brother! Everything I’ve revealed to you, purely because I see your outstanding demeanor and remarkable bone structure, is destined for uncharted heights, just trying to hug your thigh in advance! Don’t misjudge my character, alright? Your suspicion hurts my fragile little heart, you know?"

"Did I misunderstand?"

With a wicked smirk, Qin Fan responded ambiguously.

"Misunderstanding, definitely a misunderstanding! Even with the bravado of having eaten a Spiritual Beast’s heart and courage, I wouldn’t dare use you as a tool!" The old man quickly nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

"Alright, then let’s take it as a misunderstanding!"

"Brother, now that I’ve told you everything, could you take me in?" The old man implored.

"Have you killed before?" Qin Fan no longer had an impatient refusal attitude but asked playfully.

"No!" The old man was taken aback, obediently shaking his head.

"Do you dare to kill?" Qin Fan asked again.

"Of course, absolutely dare! I’ve come out this time to experience what killing feels like; initially, I thought you’d be the first target of my righteous path, only who knew—" Speaking without restraint, the old man paused at once, also issued a dry laugh awkwardly, deciding not to continue further.

"Good, as long as you dare to kill!" Ignoring the implied meaning of the old man’s words, Qin Fan said.

"Does this mean, boss, you’re willing to take me in?" Upon hearing this, the old man’s eyes brightened with exaggerated excitement.

Though whether this is a pretense or genuine, even Qin Fan couldn’t discern.

But in a nutshell, whether it’s a pretense or heartfelt, the old man’s intentions remain impure.

Yet Qin Fan doesn’t mind.

It’s exactly because the old man’s intentions are impure that things become interesting.

If he truly planned only to stick around himself as a mere henchman, Qin Fan would not bother!

"Follow me, I’ll take you to practice! Let you properly experience the taste of killing!"

With a playful and thoughtful grin.

Qin Fan turned around.

Hands in pockets, he began to walk.

Behind him, the old man followed closely.
