Chapter 2184: Chapter 2219: Baisheng Hidden Palace
The strongest battle family in the Central Plains, the old Sirius is still in the Ninth Level of the Divine Realm, how powerful is the foundation of the Sirius Clan? It’s estimated that the Golden Dragon Branch is nothing at all to them, right?
Ye Li thought for a moment and honestly said: "We are still missing the Phoenix Leaf and Sea Bear Gallbladders, now only these two Spiritual Materials are left."
"Oh?"
Ding Fan smiled brightly and said: "Do I actually have such good luck? I have them here, but not in large quantities, only two Phoenix Leaves left, and three Sea Bear Gallbladders, all for you."
A flash of light, and two blue leaves and three gallbladders like bitter gall appeared in his hand.
"Everything is for you, whether you can breakthrough to the Divine Realm Sixth Level depends on yourselves."
"Thank you, Master, thank you!"
Ye Li’s body trembled again, with the Golden Dragon Branch they have a sixty percent chance of successfully breaking through, now that Ding Fan has given them the remaining two Spiritual Materials, Ye Li is now basically guaranteed one hundred percent.
Ding Fan smiled faintly: "Don’t be so polite, when you become strong, in the future no one will dare to bully me in the Tianmu Sea, right?"
"Moreover!" Ding Fan suddenly asked curiously: "With these things, how many of you can definitely break through to the Divine Realm Sixth Level?"
Ye Li and four elders exchanged a glance and said: "Three, at least three people! If lucky, all five of us can make it."
"That’s great!"
Ding Fan nodded excitedly. If all five people can breakthrough, then he is enough to protect himself in the Tianmu Sea, and he won’t fear any power unless it’s Master Daozhen personally causing trouble for him, otherwise, he won’t be afraid of anyone.
Even.
Even if all the Zhong Family’s main forces came out, he wouldn’t be afraid, it’s said that only the clan leader Zhong Zhiyong of the Zhong Family is a Sixth Level Expert, even if he is at the Sixth Level Realm Peak, Ye Li and others can deal with him.
"So. How long do you need to breakthrough?" Ding Fan finally asked the critical question. He couldn’t wait to go to the Central Plains.
Ye Li thought for a moment and confidently said: "Half a year, at most half a year!"
"That’s good!"
Ding Fan’s face bore a bright smile, half a year is not long, the Herr Family side should be able to stall it.
Ding Fan clenched his fist excitedly and said: "Xia Mengqing, you have to wait for me for half a year, after half a year I can leave Tianmu Sea to go to the center, and then I’ll quickly be able to see you."
"Is someone bullying you at the Tianmu Sea Lake?"
Thinking of what Ding Fan said, Ye Li addressed him and said: "Master, do you have enemies in the Tianmu Sea? If it’s really dangerous, you just stay here for half a year. After half a year, we can disguise as outsiders and go out, killing all the enemies."
"No need, there’s nothing happening now."
Ding Fan waved his hand and said: "My enemies don’t dare to enter the Tianmu Sea in a normal way, temporarily no one dares to touch me in Tianmu Sea. I am now living on a small island outside the teleport point, and whenever something happens I can immediately come in."
"That’s great!"
Ye Li nodded, addressing Ding Fan: "Master, you are very cautious, after half a year we will send people with you to protect your safety."
"That’s secondary."
In Ding Fan’s eyes appeared a trace of fiery light: "I need to go to the Central Plains as soon as possible, once you break through, take me to the Central Plains, if possible, take me to Tongzhou once."
"Central Plains?"
The four elders shook their heads and said: "The Central Plains cannot go, cannot go."
"Why?" Ding Fan’s eyes showed disappointment, he took out tens of billions of Black Obsidian Spiritual Materials to let a few people take him to the Central Plains, why give them the Golden Dragon Branch if he can’t go? freewёbnoνel.com
"Master, I told you before."
Ye Li’s eyes showed sadness, addressing Ding Fan: "Our ancestors were in the Central Plains Country, five thousand years ago, we were destroyed by six great families, these six families are the strongest in the Central Plains, think about it, if we go to the Central Plains Country and get detected by these six families, can we survive? Even all the clansmen in this other world would be immediately killed by the six great families."
"So..."
Ye Li solemnly addressed Ding Fan: "You let us leave the Northern Desolation which is not a problem, because the Northern Desolation of the Divine Realm is at the northernmost point, in the eyes of the great families of the Central Plains, this place is an outside place, those great families don’t even look here, the scout cavalry of the family members won’t come here, if we hide our identities, nothing will happen, but if we leave the Northern Desolation, the chances of being discovered will greatly increase, and the Central Plains is their world."
Another elder added: "Master, when we were the strongest family, we had five Ninth Level Divine Realm experts, sixteen Eighth Level Divine Realm experts, and below the Seventh Level Divine Realm expert countless others, but when the six families joined forces, two of our families were easily suppressed and slaughtered, the strong and samurai were all killed overnight, if known by the six great families, do you think we can take these people to resist them?"
"Five Ninth Level Divine Realm, sixteen Eighth Level Divine Realm experts?"
Ding Fan was directly stunned, a sense of chaos in his heart, feeling as if ten thousand alpacas galloped across.
He thought of the six great families, but did not expect them to be so powerful, twenty-one strongest peak experts, easily suppressed and killed by six families, all martial artists perished overnight? How many strong people are in these six families?
He couldn’t imagine!
Currently, there are no Ninth Level experts of the Divine Realm in the Northern Desolation. The highest realm should belong to Master Daozhen. The Ninth Level experts among the Six Great Clans together probably number in the dozens, but he must rely on his own power to lead the two families back to their homeland, to resist dozens of Ninth Level experts of the Divine Realm, hundreds of Eighth Level experts, tens of thousands of Seventh Level experts, hundreds of thousands of Sixth Level experts, and millions of Fifth Level experts; yet he is only at the Divine Realm Second Level Peak.
"To hell with it!"
Ding Fan suddenly wondered if he had fallen into a trap. Is this something one person can achieve? Not just him, even if his mentor Sirius Elder were to lead these two families back to their Ancestral Land, could he withstand so many strong experts from the Six Great Clans?
"Master, you don’t need to think too much,"
Ye Li saw Ding Fan’s expression and said with a smile, "If the prophecy of the ancestors is accurate, then you can definitely take us home. If not, it’s Heaven’s will, and we won’t blame the heavens, so you must maintain equanimity and not think about other things."
Upon hearing Ye Li, the pressure on Ding Fan’s shoulders lightened considerably. Yes, he could try his best, and if things didn’t work out, he didn’t need to blame himself. He couldn’t be reckless and just go to his death.
After thinking for a while, he did not give up and said to Ye Li, "Alright, can you take me to the edge of the Central Plains Country? I’ll go in by myself."
"No problem at all!" Ye Li said confidently, "As long as you don’t go to the Central Plains Country, no accidents will happen, just keep a low profile."
"Yes! Let’s do it!"
Finally, a piece of good news. Although the Central Plains is large, the Sirius Clan is strong enough that once he finds them, he can receive support easily, making things simpler.
"That’s amazing!"
Having discussed the matter, Ding Fan felt there was no need to stay. He said to Ye Li and the others, "You go back to strive for the Sixth Level of the Divine Realm, I’ll head out first. If you break through, you can come find me. Regardless, in half a year, I’ll return for a look."
The five members of the Ye Family bowed to Ding Fan and said, "We follow our Master’s orders and respectfully send off our Master!"
Ding Fan waved his hand, transformed into a white light, and teleported away, leaving Ye Li and the others looking somewhat lost at the dimming White Jade Talisman Stone.
After a while, the Fourth Elder sighed and said, "Patriarch, do you really think these Golden Dragon Branches are from the Night Wolf Great Sixth Emperor Tomb?"
"Just about!"
Ye Li thought for a moment and said slowly, "If someone gave them to him, there would be no need to entice us, to gain such valuable treasures in the Imperial Tomb, Master’s luck is truly extraordinary. Stop thinking about it, let’s go back immediately to strive for the Sixth Level of the Divine Realm, then we can head out."
"Let’s go!"
The four elders were thrilled at the thought of going out, and they turned into shadows, flying towards their residence, soon disappearing into the distance.
...
After leaving, Ding Fan had Mu Gaosou take him back to Jingshan.
Tonight was overcast, amidst the darkness, stars twinkled in the sky. Ding Fan stood alone on the southern mountain peak, gazing out until midnight before returning to sleep.
The next morning, Ding Fan rose and immediately had Mu Gaosou inform everyone that he was going into seclusion for training and not to disturb him unless necessary. He aimed to breakthrough to the Third Level of the Divine Realm and comprehend the Shadowless Body Technique.
The Second Elder had already begun working, directing the disciples of the Skeleton Sect to secretly construct a palace on Baisheng Island, near a volcano in the interior of a mountain. The Second Elder planned to hollow out the mountain and hide the palace within its belly, ensuring no one would discover it.
Mu Gaosou paced back and forth, setting up prohibitions, placing countless mechanisms and prohibitions across Baisheng Island. Even if a bird flew in, the prohibitions would be triggered and detected.
Fifteen days later, the palace was successfully built.
After half a month’s practice, Ding Fan had yet to grasp the basics of the Shadowless Body Technique, causing him to doubt his aptitude. After consulting Mu Gaosou, he learned that this was normal, as comprehending high-level Martial Skills often takes years.
Ding Fan and Mu Gaosou sneaked onto Baisheng Island to view the new palace. He was very satisfied; though not particularly grand, it was elegant, situated within a mountain near a volcano crater.
The palace had many ventilation shafts, ensuring ample airflow. Most importantly, it was well-concealed, as if without a guide, even someone of Ding Fan’s realm couldn’t locate it.
Ding Fan, with Mu Gaosou and Sirius, quietly moved in because no one currently lived on the island. The island contained some small animals, and it was much larger than Jingshan, which delighted Sirius.
As for Jingshan Castle, the Second Elder stationed someone permanently there to smash the signaling talisman in case of any emergencies, serving as a warning.
Ding Fan continued his retreat, but this time only for four days when Mu Gaosou came to inform him of some news.
Last night, bodyguards of the former Skeleton Sect Master, who had gone missing after the Great Python Mountain battle, arrived at Tianmu Sea, coming to Skull Island with news of the Great Python Mountain and Sirius Ancient Tomb. Wu Qingxia asked him to come over.
"Sirius Ancient Tomb?"
Ding Fan furrowed his brow slightly; although he had inherited from Sirius in that tomb, he didn’t feel strongly about it, likely having little thought about it if he never returned.
Yet, considering that he was Sirius Elder’s sole inheritor, acting indifferently was inappropriate. So Ding Fan promptly headed to Skull Island.
Mu Gaosou and Ding Fan landed on the island from the opposite side, sneaking into Jingshan Stone Castle, then marched boldly into the Skeleton Sect meeting hall, so that the people on Skull Island would believe he was still at Jingshan Castle.
Only the Second Elder and Wu Qingxia knew he had moved to Baisheng Palace, such that even if spies infiltrated for information or assassins tried to attack, Ding Fan could know in advance.
