Chapter 382: How Can They Play After This

Lin Fan never expected that playing dead would last a whole year; originally it was only supposed to be at most ten days. Obviously, without even thinking, this had dealt a huge blow to everyone.

But Lin Fan didn't regret it now. Over the course of this year, he had seen the changes in everyone.

If he were still around, everyone would be living under his wing and wouldn't have made such progress.

That little girl Zhiqiao, who used to dislike cultivation under his protection, was now at the mid-stage of the Xiantian realm.

To achieve such progress in just one year was something Lin Fan hadn't expected.

She had also completed the first layer of the Sword Canon and opened the door to the second layer, which was a comfort to Lin Fan.

And You Jiuling also surprised Lin Fan slightly—her blood and qi surged, and she was cultivating the Titan-level Demon Body, which she had now trained to the fifth layer, reaching the late stage of the Xiantian realm, and her physical strength was formidable.

For someone her age, she was definitely a genius among geniuses, and she must have endured a lot of hardship.

Zhang Ergou hadn't disappointed Lin Fan either; his cultivation had reached the Great Perfection of the Rushi realm. This progress was also rapid.

Feng Jue's natural talent wasn't too bad to begin with, and after Lin Fan improved his aptitude, his cultivation had reached the high stage of the Lesser Heaven realm.

Mie Qiongqi, possessing the Immortal and Indestructible technique, trained hard in seclusion and had reached the Great Perfection of the Greater Heaven realm. A year ago, he was still at the early stage of the Greater Heaven realm—this was even more intense than taking pills.

Tianyu also trained diligently, and his cultivation was now at the mid-stage of the Greater Heaven realm.

All these... all these changes, Lin Fan could see through at a glance.

Such tremendous changes within a year were truly unbelievable.

Sect Master Yan and the others were also extremely excited as they watched everything before them.

"Good... good, as long as he can come back to life, everything is good."

...

"What exactly is going on? A year ago, you were definitely dead," Sect Master Yan asked with doubt.

Even if they racked their brains, they couldn't figure it out.

Lin Fan put down Zhiqiao and You Jiuling, his mind began to churn, and then he focused inwardly.

"Sect Master, I was indeed dead at that time. But who am I, Lin Fan? With so many people waiting for me, how could I die? At the moment of death, my mind was shrouded in gray, as if I was in a boundless world filled with countless evil beings." Lin Fan began to boast at this point. After all, none of them had ever died, so they wouldn't know whether he was telling the truth or not.

At that moment, the Saint Sect was dead silent. Everyone listened carefully, afraid of missing a single detail.

"In that void, a chaotic demon suddenly appeared, called the Black and White Impermanent Emperor. If I had been lured by him, I would have truly died. So I started a great battle with him..."

As everyone listened to what Uncle Lin was saying, their hearts pounded wildly.

Exciting, truly exciting.

Although they hadn't seen that scene, hearing Uncle Lin describe it made it feel intense.

"Finally, with all my might, I suppressed the Black and White Impermanent Emperor, and then I woke up."

Lin Fan didn't care whether they believed it or not; he himself believed it. How could they know if the Black and White Impermanent Emperor existed?

To put it plainly, Lin Fan had been playing a maze game in that mysterious space, and after a year, he finally found the exit and woke up.

"Black and White Impermanent Emperor? Truly unbelievable, unheard of," Sect Master Yan and the others said in astonishment.

They had never seen such a situation before.

If it had been someone else speaking, they would have probably slapped them and scolded them for talking nonsense.

But since it was Lin Fan saying it, Sect Master Yan was somewhat inclined to believe it.

Supreme Elder Wuyan glanced at Lin Fan. This kid was up to something, definitely up to something.

But since he had come back to life, he didn't mind it anymore.

As long as he was alive, that was fine.

...

"By the way, that chicken also died that day. How did it come back to life?" Sect Master Yan asked.

Lin Fan was taken aback, then looked at Chicklet standing under the sacrificial celestial statue.

At that moment, Chicklet stood motionless under the statue, its cute chicken eyes fixed on the statue.

Lin Fan even saw tears in Chicklet's eyes.

Seeing Chicklet like this, Lin Fan sighed. It seemed Chicklet was moved by the people of the Saint Sect. After all, they had carved a sacrificial statue for it too, even though it was just standing on Lin Fan's shoulder, but for a beast, this was no small feat.

Chicklet kept staring at the lifelike statue of itself, almost crying.

"Indeed, I, Chicklet, am the smartest. If I hadn't seen through the boss, there definitely wouldn't be a statue of me," Chicklet thought, moved by its own cleverness to tears.

I, Chicklet, am truly the most domineering existence.

If Lin Fan knew what Chicklet was thinking at that moment, he would definitely put it on the grill and roast it.

"Sect Master, it's actually not a chicken, but a descendant of the ancient ferocious beast Phoenix. I obtained it by chance," Lin Fan said.

"Ancient ferocious beast?" Sect Master Yan and the others changed color upon hearing this, looking incredulous.

Then they looked at Chicklet carefully again.

It was hard to compare it to a Phoenix.

The gap was too big.

If Lin Fan hadn't said it was a Phoenix, they would have found it hard to believe, since it clearly looked like a chicken.

It made sense that Chicklet was a descendant of the ancient ferocious beast Phoenix.

Phoenix Nirvana rebirth, being able to revive was naturally not difficult.

...

Outside the main hall, after chatting with Sect Master Yan and the others for a while, and waving to the inner and outer disciples, Lin Fan returned to Nameless Peak.

Now Lin Fan had many issues to investigate about himself, so he wanted to find a quiet environment to carefully analyze his changes.

At the same time, a year had passed, and the invasion of the Beast Spirit Realm was probably imminent.

Within three years, it wasn't fixed.

If, during the year he was playing dead, the Beast Spirit Realm had suddenly broken through the barrier and arrived in Donglingzhou,

then Lin Fan would probably have wanted to die.

But fortunately, none of that happened.

On Nameless Peak.

Lin Fan sat cross-legged and opened his personal panel.

The sixty billion experience from the ancient great demon had broken all boundaries. Perhaps entering that mysterious space was the so-called path to immortality.

And this path to immortality, due to some reason, was sealed off, trapping him inside. Finally, like walking in a maze, he found the way back.

Name: Lin Fan.

Cultivation: High stage of the Supreme Heaven realm.

Experience: (0 billion/20 billion).

Physical Strength: Initial stage of Indestructibility.

Physical Technique: Eternal Indestructibility, Layer 10.

Physical Experience: (0/8 billion).

Talent: Infinite Advancement.

...

Supreme Heaven realm?

Mysteriously, his essence, energy, and spirit seemed to connect with heaven and earth, extending toward that mysterious place, but in an instant, they were blocked by something, with no way forward.

It seemed he must break the heavenly barrier to understand the wonders of the Supreme Heaven realm.

But what made Lin Fan even more delighted was that over the course of this year,

the system had automatically condensed the Chains of Rules, and the number left Lin Fan completely dumbfounded.

How the hell can others play with me after this?

This simply leaves no way out.
