Xiao Fan walked out of the Saint Child Palace, and a magnificent golden carriage, emitting dazzling light, was already waiting at the entrance of the palace.
Pulling this golden carriage was a nine-headed purple-winged qilin, rumored to be a descendant of the ancient auspicious beast qilin, with exceptional ability to ride the clouds and mist.
Each head was at the Soul Formation stage, and the nine-headed qilin of the Soul Formation Realm respectfully pulled the carriage.
Sitting on it, controlling the qilin, was a middle-aged man. He wore a dark blue Daoist robe, exuding a steady and introverted aura, with a faint illusionary feeling.
He was actually a cultivator at the Void Refining Late Stage!
Even when going out, he exuded such power, truly awe-inspiring!
"Young master," the cultivator on the carriage said respectfully.
"Let's set off," Xiao Fan leaped up and walked in calmly.
"As you command."
Inside the carriage, there was a hidden Grotto-Heaven. From the outside, it appeared to be only thirty feet in length and width, and twenty feet in height, but inside, it was a hundred-acre villa.
Pavilions, towers, carved railings, and jade decorations were all made of top-quality artifact refining materials.
This carriage was made by his father through someone's help. As a Saint Child, how could he travel without a high-end vehicle?
In fact, the treatment given by the Sacred Land was also decent. He was also provided with a mount, a precious carriage pulled by four snow flame mad lions.
However, Xiao Fan's father felt that it was too simple and did not match his son's status, so he had this carriage made.
Not only that, he also arranged for a Void Refining cultivator to accompany him, a proper prince attending school.
Being a prince at home, a Saint Child in the Sacred Land, Xiao Fan felt that he had always been favored by heaven.
At the same time he went out, he also brought Yu Yue and Xinxi with him. How could he be considered a prince if he didn't bring his maidservants when going out?
This shining golden carriage, with its grand aura, attracted the envious gazes of countless disciples as it passed through the sky above the Sacred Land.
They all recognized whose vehicle it was.
Only a Saint Child deserved such a magnificent mode of transportation.
Speaking of which, Xiao Fan had only been in the Supreme Profundities Sacred Land for half a year.
Regarding this Saint Child who appeared out of nowhere, many disciples in the Supreme Profundities Sacred Land had some complaints, feeling that Xiao Fan was not deserving and lacked the strength.
There were plenty of Gold Core disciples in the Sacred Land, so why could an outsider like him be airdropped in without assessment and become a Saint Child?
They were not convinced!
For this reason, many people challenged him under the pretext of sparring, in order to prove that the decision of the Sacred Land was wrong.
But Xiao Fan was not a weakling. He displayed his strength and firmly secured his position as a Saint Child.
Shortly after entering the Sacred Land, Xiao Fan, at the early stage of Gold Core, defeated an inner disciple at the late stage of Gold Core.
And it was done in front of everyone, resolving the battle in just three moves against that Gold Core Late Stage disciple.
Crushing, a lower cultivation level defeating a higher cultivation level, an overwhelming display of strength.
This strength was terrifying!
After this battle, the voices of doubt diminished by a large margin.
However, there are still many people who are dissatisfied, thinking that his talent is acceptable, but his cultivation is still too low and not good enough.
Xiao Fan didn't say anything.
He quietly advanced to the mid-stage of Gold Core in just half a year, and casually challenged a core disciple.
Core disciples have strong strength. In Supreme Profundities Sacred Land, one of the non-negotiable conditions for being a core disciple is to reach the Nascent Soul realm.
Supreme Profundities Sacred Land is the lineage of immortals, and Nascent Soul can only be a core disciple.
Soul Formation can only be an ordinary steward.
Only Void Refining cultivators can be called elders.
In Supreme Profundities Sacred Land, there are thousands of stewards, and there are more than 100 elders on the surface, which is definitely a powerful force.
Xiao Fan, who was in the mid-stage of Gold Core, challenged a mid-stage Nascent Soul core disciple as soon as he came out of seclusion and defeated him.
With just three moves, he determined the outcome and still overwhelmed his opponent.
Some people suspected that the Nascent Soul core disciple had deliberately lost, otherwise how could he be so weak? Even the elders found it unbelievable and conducted a special investigation.
The result was later revealed that this core disciple not only did not lose intentionally, but also comprehended one of the Immortal Laws of the Sacred Land, greatly increasing his strength.
His strength is definitely in the top ten among core disciples.
But he still couldn't match Xiao Fan's three moves, and he felt that the Saint Child still had some strength left.
This declaration immediately caused a huge uproar.
I'm really shocked!
A mid-stage Gold Core cultivator fighting against a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, not only did he have some strength left, but he also won?
This is too much!
It was from this battle that no one dared to question his position as the Saint Child. If even the low-level cultivators in Gold Core have such strong cultivation after their strength increases, then it's impossible to contend with them.
However, after this battle, no one dared to oppose his position as the Saint Child.
Sitting in the carriage, Xiao Fan looked at the ethereal Sacred Land, where many disciples were flying on their swords, hurriedly coming and going, giving him a sense of being in a Perfected Being VR cultivation game.
Speaking of which, he is not very familiar with the Sacred Land.
Having joined the Sacred Land for half a year, Xiao Fan has not yet explored the Sacred Land. Whenever he has time, he closes himself off to cultivate, striving to achieve immortality and ascend to the Immortal World.
He has never seen the Holy Lord, but he heard that the Holy Lord is a woman, so let's call her the Holy Mother for now.
It is said that the Holy Mother is in seclusion for cultivation, and only issued an edict appointing Xiao Fan as the Saint Child.
The one who received him at that time was the Grand Elder.
Xiao Fan has a deep impression of the Grand Elder. He is not the kind of old elder in the conventional sense. He looks very young.
He has a youthful appearance and looks like he is in his twenties, but it is said that he is actually over six thousand years old.
The Grand Elder has a gentle personality, and most importantly, he has a high cultivation level. It is said that he is a Mahayana cultivator!
The cultivation levels of cultivators are Qi Refining, Foundation Building, Gold Core, Nascent Soul, Soul Formation, Void Refining, Body Integration, and Mahayana.
Qi Refining has twelve layers, and the other realms are divided into early stage, mid-stage, and late stage.
Mahayana cultivators, taking one more step forward, will achieve Immortal Transformation and ascend to the Immortal World.
A Mahayana cultivator received him, the Saint Child, with great dignity, leaving a deep impression.
He didn't have much impression of the other elders, only having seen them during the appointment ceremony.
He just felt that they were all quite cultured, without the presence of cunning and malicious individuals who would mock for no reason.
Truly worthy of being a righteous Sacred Land, their quality is high!
Soon, Xiao Fan arrived at the palace of the Grand Elder.
The Hall of Profound Entrance!
"Greetings, Grand Elder," Xiao Fan politely bowed and greeted.
"Hehe, the Saint Child has arrived, please have a seat."
The Grand Elder, who appeared to be in his twenties, seemed a bit awkward to Xiao Fan. It was probably because he had seen too many old-fashioned Grand Elders and was not accustomed to it.
"I wonder why the Grand Elder has summoned me here?" Xiao Fan asked.
Having been in the Sacred Land for so long, Xiao Fan had not been given any sect missions, and the Sacred Land had not paid much attention to him, allowing him to develop freely.
To suddenly call him over today, there must be an important matter to discuss.
The Grand Elder didn't beat around the bush and called out another elder.
That elder had been standing in the Hall of Profound Entrance all along, wearing a robe adorned with stars, forming a kind of celestial pattern.
On the left chest of the robe, the words "Heavenly Mechanism" were embroidered.
Xiao Fan had heard before that within the Sacred Land, there was a Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion dedicated to observing the stars in the sky and determining the luck of the world.
To recruit him as the Sacred Land's Saint Child was also because the stars in the sky were shining, indicating that the person destined by the Supreme Profundities Sacred Land had been born, and he was the one pointed to by the stars.
Xiao Fan had always thought that the concept of heavenly mechanism in the fantasy world was reasonable, but was it possible for it to be disrupted by someone and cause errors, or be blocked?
He felt that this was feudal superstition and should be treated differently.
For example, when the left eye twitches, it means wealth, and when the right eye twitches, it means disaster.
When his left eye twitches uncontrollably, it is the power of destiny and can never be wrong!
When his right eye twitches uncontrollably, what rubbish feudal superstition? It must be fake!
So, the claim that he is the person destined by the heavens must be correct.
I won't listen to unpleasant advice, and I won't drink bitter medicine! Hehehe...
The Grand Elder said, "This is the elder from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion. He will explain the situation to you."
Xiao Fan glanced at the elder from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, who fit his impression of an elder perfectly. His hair was gray, his face was weathered, showing signs of age, but he had the aura of an old horse knowing the way, with ambitions reaching a thousand miles!
Xiao Fan slightly saluted.
The elder from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion said, "I observed the celestial phenomenon at night and found that the Saint Child's natal star is shining brightly.
It seems that the Saint Child has obtained some extraordinary opportunity.
However, my abilities are limited to this extent, and I cannot see the level of the Saint Child's opportunity."
As soon as this elder spoke, Xiao Fan was startled.
Oh no, it really was seen!
This incredible opportunity is probably the system. Although the system can hide, the luck attached to him, which is his villain value, will be reflected in the stars in the sky.
It seems that there are many talented people in the fantasy world.
Xiao Fan smiled and said, "Elder Xuanji is right. Recently, I have indeed gained some opportunities."
He pretended not to understand.
Elder Xuanji nodded in agreement and didn't delve deeper.
"It's a good thing to have opportunities, but suddenly there are several stars shining near Saint Child's natal star. Although they are not as dazzling as Saint Child, if they continue to grow, they will inevitably threaten Saint Child's growth."
Xiao Fan was taken aback. Several stars?
According to Xiao Fan's guess, these are probably the Sons of Fortune, like Qin Feng.
It seems that there are several others, like Qin Feng, that he hasn't found yet.
"So, in the future, if Saint Child encounters peers with exceptional talent, it is advisable to befriend them."
"If they become enemies, they must be eliminated without hesitation. You must not hesitate or show mercy like a weak woman, as it will sow the seeds of disaster."
Elder Xuanji spoke with great seriousness, "Saint Child, you have had little experience and little knowledge of dangerous matters. I'm afraid you will feel pity for your enemies."
So, you called me here for this?
I understand the art of decisive killing better than you!
Xiao Fan said, "I have learned from your teachings."
Damn it, the treatment in this Sacred Land is too good. They even provide divination services. Alright, I will protect this Sacred Land. When I become an immortal, I will take you all flying!
Elder Xuanji said, "Apart from this matter, there is one more thing I want to tell Saint Child."
Xiao Fan said, "Please speak, Elder."
"I have observed traces of an immortal mansion in the Dongshan Taixu Lake. It will appear in as little as three months or as long as half a year."
"The opportunities within it will be of great use to Saint Child, so please be prepared."
Xiao Fan was once again shocked.
Is this the power of a major force?
They can even perceive the unrevealed Secret Realm and even calculate the timing. Impressive!
"I am currently gathering information about that immortal mansion. When it appears, I will give the collected information to Saint Child."
Xiao Fan said, "I will remember, Elder."
After Elder Xuanji finished speaking, he nodded to the Grand Elder and then left the hall.
Xiao Fan could understand why there would be opportunities in the near future.
These opportunities are naturally tailored for Sons of Fortune like Qin Feng.
But now that I have become a villain, what does it matter if they were tailored for you? I will snatch them away and make them mine!
Hehehe...
The Grand Elder and Xiao Fan chatted for a few more sentences, resolving his confusion about cultivation, and talked for three days.
A Mahayana cultivator gave him a small Gold Core and lectured him. This treatment is not something anyone can have.
