The Mystic Jade Sect is an Ancient Holy Land in the Eastern Region of the World.
It has once produced many powerhouses at the Earth Immortal Realm.
After the Era of Doom, Most of the Holy Land's Earth Immortal Realm powerhouses passed away. Now it has only a few powerhouses at the peak of the Earth Immortal Realm who have sealed themselves in the sect's Forbidden Land, never to reveal themselves unless there's a Sect Destroying Calamity.
The most powerful experts in the sect today are only Tribulation level existences, comprising of the Sect Master and Elders. Actually, almost all Ancient Holy Lands in the world are facing similar situations.
...
The Sect borders the Immemorial Forest from the North-Eastern side. From this, it is obvious Lin Fan is moving in the South Western direction towards the Center of the Forest.
He had come across several Beasts, Mortal and Monarch level, low-mid-high-peak, all fell under his sword.
It is noteworthy to say here, that he had been robbed of his possessions, but he made a wooden sword casually, using Sword Intent when he left from the bottom of the cliff.
Outer area of the Forest is mainly occupied by Mortal and Monarch level Beasts.
Inner Circle is occupied by Saint level Beasts. The Only Chaotic Beast occupies the Core Circle of the Forest, recuperating.
Any ranked beast would have Beast Crystal. Lin Fan had collected all the Beast Crystals along the way.
Of course he's not collecting them for himself but for his clan and those he deemed worthy of friendship in his hometown and sect.
Using all sorts of Arts, he fought his way to the Inner Circle of the Forest. Lin Fan didn't just kill wantonly, he only killed those Beasts he encountered.
If he encounters a horde, he'd kill the leaders and leave the rest. If he encounters a herd, he'd kill only 5 and leave the rest.
Ranked Beasts are intelligent. When they saw that the Human among them does not kill wantonly, they communicated with the rest of the Beasts in the forest to not cross the human.
They determined that it is of the best benefit to befriend him.
Therefore, from the first month onwards, these beasts would bow whenever they encounter him and would lead him to nearby natural treasures.
Because of this change, he obtained even more benefits. In return for this favor, he created a Realm for each of the beast clans and put opportunities in it. Some contain Blood Essences of his Origin Beasts, others contain Spirit Wine, etc.
He made sure to put restrictions and illusions so that humans can't enter those Secret Realms.
There are some Beasts that are arrogant though. They refused to join hands with others to befriend a measly human. Their ends can be guessed.
They lost all of their Natural Treasures. Though their lives was spared, their future development has been cut off. Or so they thought.
Lin Fan made his way to the Core Circle of the Immemorial Forest. When he reached the boundary between the inner and outer, he noticed that the Spiritual Energy have some Chaotic Energy mixed with it.
"Sign in here Musk"
(Sign in successful: Congratulations for signing in for the first time. You have obtained the Emperor's Cup)
(Congratulations for signing in at the Chaos Domain.
You have obtained Three Million Years of Chaotic Energy worth of Cultivation)
"Oh, that's... good",
Said Lin Fan. He could not find a better word. Three Million Years worth of Cultivation might seem much, but to the current him, it's a drop in the bucket.
"Okay, tell me about the Emperor's Cup"
(The Emperor's Cup is a low grade Chaos Artifact. It has the same function as your Gourd. It is able to convert ordinary water, poisonous water, into Spirit Wine. Only, it's product is much gentler. It can change size depending on owner's will).
"It's okay. I can use this for training in the clan then. It will be a handy then".
Saying this, he entered the Core Circle of the Forest.
...
In the Center of the Core Circle, a 20 meters long, 7 meters tall Beast that has Dragon head, Horse Feet, Pig's Tail, and have Cheetah pattern spots, opened it's eyes and looked towards the Northeast. It spotted Lin Fan.
It opened it's eyes wide and was trembling. It sensed danger for the first time in countless millenniums. It quickly shrunk it's size and took human form. In it's human form, he was a green clothed, middle aged, handsome man.
But that's not what is important. Behind the man is a cave. The middle aged man quickly enters the cave and came before a platform. On the platform, there's a Jade Bed.
Lying weakly on the bed is a peerlesly beautiful young woman who looks 20-24 years old. Though her breathe is weak and her face pale, the middle aged man didn't get distracted. He said,
"Young Miss, there's an extremely powerful figure approaching. We must leave this place immediately, or else we might perish. Please forgive me for being rude".
He made to move up the platform to carry the Young Woman so that they can escape.
But the Young Woman weakly raised her left hand and said,
"Uncle Zhao, there's no need. He's already here"
"It's my duty to protect you. I must...", he was saying but the last words of the young woman was just registered in his mind and
"What? It can't be..." then he turned towards the entrance of the cave and saw Lin Fan standing there calmly in his Jade Blue Robe.
"... He was just at the boundary then. Not even a breath have passed. Could he be a Saint Immortal?", he was stunned.
He himself is a Golden Immortal. The Young Woman is a Heaven Immortal.
The Realms above Earth Immortal are, Heaven Immortal, Golden Immortal, Celestial Immortal, Immortal King, Immortal Emperor, Immortal Saint, then Immortal Sovereign.
Immortal Saints are not restricted by space at all, hence they can teleport to anywhere within their Divine Sense.
Thinking of this, Zhao Jin's scalp turned numb. He is scared witless.
'No wonder I was trembling when I first sensed him!' he screamed in his heart
"Young Miss, I'm willing to serve you in my next life. Don't worry, I'll detain him for a while", weakly, Zhao Jin put up a front before the Young Woman.
