Time passed by mercilessly.
In the blink of an eye, three years had passed. Spring passed and autumn came, and the wind and clouds changed.
All these years, a legend had been circulating in White Cloud Town.
It was said that the Taixuan Sword Immortal killed demons and devils, but in the end, he died together with those demons and devils and never returned.
The news became more and more true. After Chen Fan left, no more demon creatures came to the town.
They gradually accepted this result.
However, Minister Li refused to believe it. He told everyone that Profound Sword Immortal would return one day.
However, the others just smiled and didn't say anything. They didn't refute him or admit it.
………………
At the same time.
Lying Lin Mountain.
In a cave abode.
There was a figure sitting cross-legged inside, motionless.
At the entrance of the cave abode, there was a divine beast covered in fog and flames. Its aura was terrifying.
The divine beast Qilin had been squatting at the entrance of the cave, quietly guarding it.
In the past three years, he did not have any strange thoughts.
Some people even thought that some treasure had appeared when they saw the strange splendor here.
He wanted to snatch the treasure, but when he saw that huge figure, he was so scared that his scalp went numb and he ran away.
How would they dare to look for treasures?
Although they did not see the Qilin's appearance clearly, many people were guessing if it was a spirit beast.
Moreover, there should be real treasures in that mountain range. Otherwise, why would they use spirit beasts to guard it?
Some evil cultivators who didn't know what was good for them heard the news and came to capture the divine beast Qilin.
In the end, when they found out the true identity of the Qilin through the fog, they were mercilessly killed.
In front of the Qilin, they were like ants.
There was even an early-stage foundation establishment evil cultivator who had the same outcome.
After that, no one dared to come here again.
The Qilin was the strongest expert within a thousand miles of this area. Ordinary experts would naturally not be able to escape the fate of being killed by the Qilin.
However, they were courting death.
As a result, dozens of corpses appeared on the ground. No one came to collect them. In the end, they rotted and gave off a foul smell, turning into white bones.
The most eye-catching thing was that even after the corpse of the evil sect's Foundation Establishment expert had died, his body still emitted a powerful aura.
Some ants and insects couldn't get close to him, and there were a few crows 'corpses around him.
That was because the corpse of the dead foundational cultivator was immortal. The aura emitted by it killed these ordinary animals.
It was as easy as killing ants.
Meanwhile, in the cave abode.
The imposing figure suddenly opened his eyes at this moment. A dazzling sword light burst out, illuminating the entire cave abode.
The spirit meridians behind him had already completely dried up. An aura belonging to the late stage of the foundation establishment realm emitted from his body.
At this moment, the mountains and rivers were silent.
Only Chen Fan's aura seemed to cover the area.
The Divine Beast Kylin's eyes lit up as it sensed a familiar aura and rushed toward Chen Fan.
He revealed a very happy expression.
She ran to Chen Fan and rubbed her face against his.
Chen Fan patted the Qilin's head as if it was a comfortable blanket.
Moreover, the Qilin's flames could not hurt him at all.
Chen Fan had been cultivating in seclusion for three years and there was not a single speck of dust on him. His cave abode was also clean and there wasn't a single spider.
The black-and-white Daoist robe on his body was still the same as three years ago. There were no changes.
In the end, he had not reached the peak of the foundation establishment stage.
This was because Chen Fan had been tempering his body to prevent himself from breaking through too quickly.
If not,
He might have broken through to the perfected foundation establishment realm now.
Sometimes, breaking through too quickly was not a good thing.
Although he was only in the late stage of the foundation establishment realm, he had forged the foundation in his body to be incomparably thick.
His magic power had increased by about sixteen times.
Generally speaking, only by breaking through a major realm would there be such a terrifying increase in magic power.
Moreover, the strength of his Thunder God's Physique had increased once again, reaching a strength of 200,000 Jin.
Now, a casual palm strike could split open a small mountain peak.
Apart from that, the sword intent in his body had also improved. The pure Yang sword intent had reached 30%, and its power had increased by many times.
However, it was a pity that even though the pure Yang sword intent had reached 30%, it still did not stimulate the Very High sword intent to improve.
His Revered Sword Intent seemed to have reached a bottleneck.
It wasn't that easy to improve. It was very difficult to improve by half a percent.
However, Chen Fan was not in a hurry. He would improve sooner or later.
There were waves of Dao runes surrounding him, and his entire aura was extraordinary.
Coupled with the powerful sword intent that he emitted, ordinary people would probably feel a sense of fear when they saw him.
Chen Fan only needed one Pure Yang Sword Qi to deal with the Qilin.
This was the terrifying part of the increase in strength.
His strength had directly increased by several times, and his casual breathing would erupt with a thunderous sound.
This was because his physique was too strong.
With him as the center, a vortex formed, and a large amount of spiritual qi gathered.
Even the white clouds in the sky were stirred by his magic power, forming invisible vortexes in the sky.
"What a pity!"
Chen Fan shook his head.
If he still had a spirit meridian, he would definitely be able to step into the perfected foundation establishment realm. Then, he could start trying to condense a golden core.
"Forget it. I've gained a lot this time."
Chen Fan retracted his Sword Will and the Dharma Power in his body dissipated.
He began to check the changes in his body.
He discovered that each of his meridians had widened, and his physique had become even more terrifying.
His meridians were three to five times thicker than the others.
This was the reason why his magic power was so powerful. He had two supreme physiques, which gave him a bonus.
Now, even with just the strength of his physical body, he could kill a late-stage foundation establishment expert alive.
Chen Fan was very satisfied with the change in his strength.
Then, he shifted his gaze to the Fire Qilin. This divine beast stayed obediently by his side and was very close to him.
"Three years have passed, and your strength has also improved. Not bad, not bad!”
Chen Fan nodded.
The Qilin's bloodline was awakening bit by bit. His cultivation speed actually only took him three years to break through to the peak of the foundation establishment stage.
This was the result of cultivating without the help of the spirit vein.
It could be seen that the bloodline of the divine beast was powerful.
Moreover, he knew that even if the Qilin did not cultivate, as long as it grew to adulthood, its cultivation would also increase.
It was the benefits brought by the divine beast bloodline that made people envious.
If Chen Fan didn't have such feelings, he was confident that he would surpass the bloodline of the Qilin.
"Alright, we should leave this place now!”
Chen Fan jumped up and sat on the Qilin.
The divine beast Qilin immediately headed out of the cave abode.
After he and Chen Fan had signed the contract, they could talk to each other in their minds and express their thoughts clearly.
"Hmm?"
At this moment, Chen Fan had a sudden inspiration. At his realm, he could sense the mysteries of the heavens and see some scenes in the future.
"I didn't expect that Li Xiuyuan and I had a master-disciple relationship. This person has the fate of a good person for ten generations. He is indeed qualified to be my disciple.”
"Fine, I'll go back to White Cloud Town.”
Chen Fan smiled and patted the Kylin's head.
The divine beast Qilin roared and turned into a dazzling flame as it ran out of the cave abode.
It had to be said.
The divine beast Qilin was really fast. It stepped on the seven-colored auspicious cloud and directly moved forward in the air.
The surrounding mountains, rivers, and trees also rapidly retreated and disappeared from his sight.
Chen Fan sat on the back of the Qilin and felt peaceful.
When passing by an inn, Chen Fan smelled the smell of food and wine.
"Linlin, go down."
Chen Fan sent a message to the Kirin.
The Qilin descended and came to a place where there was no one.
However, Chen Fan felt that the Kirin was too eye-catching and would scare ordinary mortals.
"Can you shrink your body a little?”
Chen Fan asked.
The Qilin nodded slightly, and his body rapidly shrank in an instant. He was like a cute pet the size of a puppy.
She had a pair of big, watery eyes that were extremely cute.
It was completely different from the mighty Qilin just now.
Moreover, his body was no longer emitting a five-colored light.
This was good too!
Chen Fan carried the Qilin into the inn.
"What would you like to order?"
A servant walked over and asked with a smile.
"Give me a portion of the signature dishes and three jars of wine.”
Chen Fan hadn't eaten anything for three years, so he naturally had to eat as much as he wanted.
The attendant was surprised. There were more than ten signature dishes. How could the young man in front of him finish them all?
However, since the other party had ordered it, he naturally had to do as he was told.
"Alright, I'll go prepare now!"
The servant ordered the kitchen and went to greet the others.
Soon, the fragrant dishes were all served, along with three jars of wine.
Chen Fan finished all the food and wine in the time for an incense stick to burn.
He felt much better.
The Qilin also drank a few mouthfuls of wine. He especially liked to drink.
She also ate a few mouthfuls of food, and her eyes lit up as she followed suit.
It was obvious that this fellow had never eaten human food before, so it felt that it was especially delicious.
Chen Fan paid the bill and left after the man and the beast had eaten their fill.
He walked out of the door and came to a small forest without anyone. He was about to let the Qilin return to its original form.
However, the next moment, she heard footsteps.
He used his divine sense and saw two young Taoist priests who were herding corpses.
He looked absent-minded.
Soon, they saw Chen Fan say,""Fellow Daoists ahead, quickly make way. We still have to continue on our way.”
Chen Fan turned a deaf ear.
One of the young Taoist priests was very angry.
She walked up to Chen Fan angrily and pushed him."
"I'm talking to you. Didn't you hear me? Don't block our way!”
This road was very wide, but they did not plan to take a detour. Instead, it was a little rude and overbearing.
This little Taoist priest was called Hao. He was in a bad mood today, which was why this scene happened.
But when he pushed Chen Fan, he didn't budge.
He was shocked.
Chen Fan's body trembled slightly.
Hao took a few steps back and crashed into a tree with a bang, revealing a surprised expression.
He didn't expect Chen Fan to be so strong.
"Hao, let me help you!"
The other young Taoist priest was called Ah Qiang. He looked like he had just reached adulthood. He was chanting a spell and took out a talisman. It burst into flames and attacked Chen Fan.
Chen Fan didn't move.
However, two sharp sword lights shot out from his eyes and directly extinguished the flames.
Ah Qiang and Ah Hao were stunned. They knew that this Taoist priest in front of them, who was also wearing a Taoist robe, might be someone they could not afford to offend.
"Senior, please spare my life."
The two of them knelt on the ground with a thud.
"The road is so wide, the two of you are so domineering, and you even use the spells of Mao Mountain. Whose disciples are you?”
Chen Fan asked.
Ah Qiang and Ah Hao looked at each other and felt that something was wrong.
The person in front of them could also be Mao Mountain's Martial Uncle or Martial Uncle. If their Master knew that the two of them were so unreliable, they would probably be beaten up again.
" Let's…run!"
Qiang ran away in a flash. Hao took the remaining zombies and ran away quickly.
Chen Fan didn't seem to want to chase after her.
Qiang and Hao ran for about a few hundred meters before they stopped to catch their breath. When they looked up, they suddenly found Chen Fan standing in front of them.
It almost scared their souls out of their wits.
"We were wrong!"
Hao immediately admitted his mistake.
He also revealed his identity, his two disciples, Ah Qiang and Ah Hao.
No wonder Chen Fan felt a sense of familiarity when he looked at them. Wasn't this exactly the same as in the original novel?
"I see!"
Chen Fan said calmly," That good-for-nothing, the disciple he taught is also good-for-nothing. However, you have offended me, so I have to teach you a lesson on behalf of your master.”
After saying that.
Chen Fan slapped them three times.
Their faces were swollen.
Ah Qiang and Ah Hao didn't dare to say anything. They just prayed that they wouldn't meet Chen Fan again.
This was simply too overbearing.
"Alright, since you've already been punished, get lost!”
Chen Fan waved his hand and ignored them.
Ah Qiang and Ah Hao felt as if they had been pardoned. They hurriedly rushed away with the corpse and restrained their temper. They were no longer so arrogant.
Chen Fan was ready to continue his journey and left the forest.
…………
On the other side, Qiang and Hao's faces were swollen like pig heads. It hurt a little when they touched them.
"Who was that person just now!"
"How would I know? He didn't say anything, but he was too fierce. He was even more ruthless than Master!”
"Who cares who he is? Sooner or later, he will get back at me!”
"Haha! I feel that we might not be able to defeat him even if we cultivate for 30 years. He didn't even use his magic power when he hit us just now.”
"Besides, he might be an elder of Mao Mountain. If he tells our master, we'll be finished!!”
When the two of them talked about this problem, they could not help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
In the end, it turned into a long sigh and he decided to forget about today's matter.
In the future, he would be in a bad mood.
He wouldn't be like this anymore.
……………
Chen Fan returned to the familiar entrance of the White Cloud Town and walked over with the little Kylin in his arms.
At this moment, he heard the villagers discussing.
"Have you heard? It was said that there was a hotel a few hundred miles away from here that was haunted. It was too terrifying!”
"I heard that many people have died there. Fortunately, I didn't stay in that hotel!”
These were businessmen who had returned from doing business far away. When they talked about this matter, they still had lingering fears on their faces at night.
"There were demons and devils who caused trouble here. Fortunately, the Taixuan Sword Immortal carried the heart of justice back then and subdued the demons and devils to give us peace!”
"That's right. If the Sword Immortal was still here, he would definitely get rid of the zombies in the hotel you mentioned.”
"Sigh, it's been so long, but there's no trace of the Sword Immortal. He might be dead!!”
“…………”
These people talked about a lot of things, but Chen Fan only took a few important words.
Demons were causing trouble.
Wouldn't he be able to obtain merit points again?
When Chen Fan returned to White Cloud Town, a few people recognized him and went to report to Minister Li.
……………
At the same time.
Minister Li was sitting at the table drinking tea when he suddenly heard someone come to report.
"What is it?"
He asked indifferently.
"Minister Li, the Taixuan Sword Immortal appeared exactly like the portrait.”
Hearing this, Minister Li stood up excitedly. He knew that Chen Fan would not die so easily.
"Good! Go down and receive your reward!" Minister Li said and put on a coat to welcome Chen Fan back to White Cloud Town.
