The faces of the Qingyun Divine Mountain disciples were ashen. They were well aware of Bei Mo’s strength, but never expected him to be defeated by Lu Fan.
“I truly didn’t expect there to be such a powerful disciple within Yuqing Mountain!”
Yun Shui Tian Shen let out a cold laugh, “Has he already reached the Tian Shen realm?”
At these words, everyone present was startled. The Tian Shen realm was no ordinary level of power.
Even if Lu Fan had consumed a Tian Shen Pill, it would take nearly a hundred years to successfully break through to the Tian Shen realm. How could he have reached it in just three years?
If this were true, it would be absolutely unbelievable, even considered the existence of a monstrous prodigy.
In the Divine Realm, there were many experts, and those who could reach the Tian Shen realm were certainly not ordinary individuals.
“Yun Shui Tian Shen is joking. How could I possibly be a Tian Shen!”
Lu Fan smiled slightly, “If that were the case, I’m afraid I wouldn’t even spare a glance at the two Tian Shen from Qingyun Mountain!”
“Even if you haven’t reached the Tian Shen realm, you must be at least a half-step Tian Shen!”
Jiu Chi Tian Shen spoke, “To be able to slap Bei Mo away with one palm, and to be infinitely close to the Tian Shen realm, I truly didn’t expect such a prodigy to appear in Yuqing Mountain!”
Bei Mo stood to the side, his expression extremely grim. At least in his opinion, reaching the Tian Shen realm was not an easy feat.
It was a pity that he had been defeated by Lu Fan, and he was deeply unwilling.
“The mountain拜 ceremony ends here for today. The two Tian Shen have traveled a long distance and must be somewhat weary!”
The Enforcement Tian Shen smiled, “Yuqing Mountain has prepared a banquet and invites the two Tian Shen to attend together. At the same time, many disciples from Qingyun Mountain can spar with the disciples from Yuqing Mountain. After all, everyone is from the same lineage. It doesn’t matter who wins or loses!”
“What the Enforcement Tian Shen said is true. Since that is the case, we respectfully accept the invitation!”
Jiu Chi Tian Shen smiled faintly, cast a meaningful glance at Lu Fan, and then led the disciples of Qingyun Mountain towards the courtyard.
Their arrival at Yuqing Mountain was also an opportunity for mutual exchange, but Jiu Chi Tian Shen paid considerable attention to Lu Fan.
At this very moment, everyone could clearly feel that some matters were not simple, even exceeding their imaginations.
“You’re quite something, kid! I didn’t expect you to be so formidable!”
Li Tian looked at Lu Fan, “You’ve exceeded our expectations and brought glory to Yuqing Mountain!”
“It was merely a minor effort. You seniors are too kind!” Lu Fan clasped his fists, appearing quite composed.
Lu Fan did not pay much attention to the praise from everyone.
“So, have you broken through to Tian Shen or not?”
Qi Tian Cheng was quite concerned, his gaze fixed on Lu Fan, “Under normal circumstances, being able to slap Bei Mo away with one palm should undoubtedly mean you are in the Tian Shen realm!”
“Even with the Tian Shen Pill, it’s impossible to successfully break through to the Tian Shen realm within three years!”
Lu Fan shrugged, “Even a peerless prodigy would likely need a hundred years. You should know this better than I do, Senior Brother Qi!”
“Bei Mo is a half-step Tian Shen, and his strength is so formidable. Under normal circumstances, it shouldn’t be like this!”
With seriousness in his eyes, Qi Tian Cheng spoke without reservation, his words carrying a certain gravity.
Lu Fan smiled awkwardly at these words but said nothing more.
Some things are just like that; even if you say them, others may not necessarily agree.
“If he had truly reached the Tian Shen realm, he wouldn’t be hiding it!” Yan Ru Yu shook her head, “Moreover, the Tian Shen realm is not so easily attained. You are thinking too simply!”
Upon hearing this, everyone instantly understood.
As night fell, a banquet was laid out within Yuqing Mountain, featuring plenty of divine beast meat, which made many disciples eager.
However, only those who had reached the Tian Shen realm were seated at the table, and it had nothing to do with them.
Lu Fan sat at the peak of Yuqing Mountain, appearing quite leisurely. With the many Tian Shen enjoying the feast, he felt it inappropriate to disturb them.
“You’re sitting alone on the mountaintop, what are you thinking about, kid?” Li Tian walked over.
“Nothing. I’m just curious, when will this end in the Divine Realm!” Lu Fan said with a wry smile, “Ever since I entered the Divine Realm, I’ve felt quite insignificant. It’s better in the lower realms; at least I could do as I pleased.”
“You can’t say that. Although cultivators in the lower realms enjoy themselves, they ultimately cannot escape their lifespan. But in the Divine Realm, it’s different. As long as you come to the Divine Realm, you can have an endless lifespan. This is something that everyone cannot achieve!” Li Tian stated frankly.
“The way you put it, perhaps this is the only benefit of the Divine Realm!”
Lu Fan chuckled, “But even so, even if one can live for an infinite age, what does it matter?”
“You can’t say that. If you can become that supreme existence, it’s not a bad choice in the Divine Realm!”
Li Tian smiled faintly, “Besides, I heard recently that Bei Yuan has been showing signs of unrest. This is a golden opportunity. When the two races go to war, we can also make contributions in battle. Then, the Divine Race will offer treasures as rewards. In this way, it won’t be difficult to improve one’s strength!”
“War between the two races!”
Lu Fan frowned, suddenly thinking of Tian Long. Tian Long’s father was in Bei Yuan. If the two races were truly to engage in conflict, it seemed it wouldn’t be a good thing.
“What are you two big men chatting about?” Yan Ru Yu walked over, holding wine in her hand, appearing somewhat tipsy.
“Junior Sister Yan, you never drink!” Li Tian smiled.
“Today is a joyous occasion, so naturally, we should drink and make merry!”
Yan Ru Yu stated directly, “You guys didn’t see how dejected those people from Qingyun Mountain were. If Junior Brother Lu hadn’t personally intervened today, we would have lost all face!”
At these words, everyone nodded slightly, understanding the situation clearly.
“Bad news, something’s happened!”
Just then, a loud shout echoed throughout Yuqing Mountain, sounding quite panicked.
And at the banquet, a disciple from Qingyun Mountain had collapsed on the ground, devoid of any breath, seemingly dead.
Seeing this, the many Tian Shen rose one after another, unsure of what had happened.
“Da Peng, Da Peng!”
Bei Mo called out several times, but the man named Da Peng showed no reaction, and even his divine power was gradually disappearing.
“What is going on!”
The Enforcement Tian Shen rushed over quickly, his brow furrowed.
“There’s a potent poison in Yuqing Mountain’s banquet!”
Bei Mo said coldly, “Today, Yuqing Mountain must provide an explanation!”
The two Tian Shen from Qingyun Mountain stood to the side, their gazes becoming sharp. Da Peng was one of their Qingyun Mountain disciples, and now he had died unjustly. How could they let it go? They would definitely investigate the matter to the end.
