Chapter 1335 - Taking on Another Mission

When the news of the Low-Class Disciples Martial Meet spread, the low-class disciples were swept into a frenzy. After all, the top three would get to enter the Immortal Conferral Ancient Realm to train and cultivate, driving them to scramble like ducks.

Afterward, cultivation intensified; many spent large sums of merit points to access the Featherlight Sect’s secret realm, hoping for a strong ranking in three years.

When Chen Fan and the others heard the news, they couldn’t understand the craze among the others. Only after asking around did they learn about the Immortal Conferral Ancient Realm. Said to be an ancient secret realm, a mighty figure had founded it.

In his youth, the mighty had struggled for ages to reach the Immortal Platform realm due to mediocre talent. After attaining the Dao, he remembered those hardships and created the realm to aid others with similar limitations.

To establish it, he scattered every treasure he had gathered throughout his life into the realm. During the Ancient Heavenly Court era, many with average talent seized the opportunities and ascended to the immortal realm.

Yet over time, the realm’s nature shifted.

During the ancient era, when that mighty figure was still alive, the Immortal Conferral Ancient Realm allowed only those with mediocre talents and no hopes of becoming an Immortal inside.

But now, the Immortal Conferral Ancient Realm had become a treasure land: a place to ascend to immortality swiftly and a battlefield where countless prides of heaven from across the Heavenly Realm competed.

Since ancient times, innumerable cultivators had explored it; many top figures of the Heavenly Realm had entered at some point

Inside the ancient realm, prodigies were everywhere—descendants of Immortal Emperors and even Sages, dazzling existences.

“No wonder.”

Chen Fan and the others also couldn’t help feeling a surge of excitement.

After the mighty figure’s life came to an end inside, other mighty figures, once aided by him and later having attained the Dao, also cast their own opportunities and treasures into it.

Thus, though millions of years have passed and countless fortunes have been unearthed, there were still plenty of opportunities within.

Rumor even spoke of legacies from an Immortal Emperor and even a Sage inside the secret realm. No wonder the news stirred such a frenzy.

Beyond the chance to swiftly become an Immortal, if one could obtain one of those mighty figures' legacies, they could become a powerhouse, rivaling the greatest despite not reaching their heights.

To put things into perspective, out of a hundred cultivators, only one or two ever achieved immortality; among Immortal Platform experts, barely one in a hundred advanced to Immortal King. As for emperor-level behemoths, they were rarer still.

However, if one could obtain a legacy in the ancient realm, even if they couldn’t become an emperor, they could at the very least become a king.

Di Chen said, “First Senior Brother, Little Junior Brother, the two of you still have a shot at the top three in the martial meet in three years. For us, it’ll be far harder.”

The Featherlight Sect had hundreds of thousands of low-class disciples. Among them, Void Immortals numbered at least eight hundred, if not over a thousand.

Standing out in such a crowd, let alone breaking into the top three, was nearly impossible.

Rumors said that the top ten were all peak Void Immortals. All they needed was an opportunity to cast their immortal platform and become Immortals. Naturally, they would be the greatest obstacles to entering the Immortal Conferral Ancient Realm.

Di Chen and the others were aware of their limits. Although they were talented, it meant little in the Heavenly realm. Even reaching the Invincible Legendary realm in three years would already be remarkable.

......

Time passed in a flash, and three months had gone by, barely a heartbeat for martial artists.

Chen Fan spent all that time in his cave. First, he worked on consolidating his cultivation, as he had advanced too quickly, leaping from Lesser Legendary to Invincible Legendary within a single year.

As the saying went, a skyscraper rose from its foundation. If that base was weak, no matter how tall, collapse was inevitable.

So, although he could have pushed for the late-stage Invincible Legendary realm, he refrained. He used the Heaven and Earth Furnace to refine all of his true primeval once, removing a lot of impurities, which caused his cultivation realm to fall to the early-stage Invincible Legendary realm.

However, not only did Chen Fan’s combat strength not fall, but he also became even stronger.

He had also completely refined the Nine Immortals Bell, turning it into a trump card in his hand. When used, it could unleash unexpected effects.

“Fighting is the best method to cultivate. Three years will pass in the blink of an eye. If I want to seize the top three in the martial meet, this level of strength is far from enough.”

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes, a sharp glint shining. He understood a simple truth: there was always someone stronger.

Though he had killed Lin Heng, one of the sect’s top low-class disciples, he knew that, at best, this put him in the middle-lower tier. The true peak disciples could crush ten or twenty Void Immortals like Lin Heng alone.

So, he didn’t feel any complacency despite killing Lin Heng.

For him, Lin Heng was only a target to establish his might and intimidate others, lest some fools find trouble with him.

Swish.

He exited his cave and swept toward the Merit Hall.

Missions there served two purposes: honing himself on the edge of life and death, and earning merit points.

“Elder, what seventh-grade missions are there?” Chen Fan asked an elder.

“What? A brat in the early-stage Invincible Legendary realm like you wants to take on a seventh-grade mission?” That elder couldn’t believe his ears. “For your level, even an eighth-grade mission is already decent.

“You must be new. Young man, sometimes, you should understand the immensity of heaven and earth. Although seventh-grade missions offer rich rewards, you are almost guaranteed to die...”

Chen Fan threw out his identity token. A cold light flickered in his eyes, “Give me a seventh-grade mission.”

“Chen Fan?” The elder was just about to admonish him, but then recognized the name. “You killed Lin Heng on the Heavenly Punishment Platform? Well, you do have some strength. If you’re not afraid of death, I’ll give you a seventh-grade mission. The reward for this mission is very generous: ten thousand merit points and a thousand immortal stones.”

“It gives such generous rewards?” Chen Fan’s eyes flickered.

“I’ll take it!”
