At this mont, Leng Jian looked at his master and felt a surge of guilt and heartache. All of this started because of him; it was he who implicated the sect, turning his master into such a state. However, what Leng Jian hated the most was Ding Fan. If it weren't for Ding Fan's existence, he and his master wouldn't have ended up like this.
Leng Jian gazed at Ding Fan, his heart filled with hatred, yet he felt an overwhelming powerlessness, as if he couldn't muster any strength. There was no way; the power displayed by the opponent was simply too overwhelming. Clearly, it's not sothing that an ordinary cultivator could contend with.
Even compared to him, there was too large a gap. Wanting to kill the opponent was not an easy task. At the sa ti, Leng Jian made up his mind, no matter what, he would kill the opponent. If he couldn't attack head-on, then he would strike from the flank. Since he couldn't kill him openly, he'd do it secretly!
In the end, Leng Jian would stop at nothing in the Xuantian Secret Realm to attempt to kill Ding Fan. Holding onto this determination, Leng Jian felt a bit happy when he looked at Ding Fan again. Although the opponent showed powerful strength, it didn't seem very difficult for him to enter the Xuantian Secret Realm, which in turn was beneficial for him.
…
At this mont, Ding Fan in the Lake of Purity was already finding it difficult to move. Now, Ding Fan was less than twenty stone steps away from the flowerbed in the middle of the lake. He had covered four-fifths of the total distance, clearly almost within reach of that flowerbed.
However, Ding Fan's Divine Sense was being strongly repelled. He struggled to advance, inching closer to the flowerbed. All his Divine Vigor had been released, but it was barely enough. Ding Fan was afraid he couldn't hold on for much longer.
Ultimately, Ding Fan stopped with less than ten stone steps to go to the flowerbed. He barely steadied himself and then projected his Divine Sense towards the flowerbed. Ding Fan wanted to see what was inside that flowerbed.
At this mont, Ding Fan's Divine Sense barely allowed him to see so of the conditions within the flowerbed. However, to Ding Fan's disappointnt, he didn't find anything special. There were so lotuses, rely ordinary lotuses, with roots deeply embedded in the mud of the flowerbed's water.
But Ding Fan would never believe such a simple and ordinary façade. Instantly, Ding Fan's Divine Sense continued to probe deeper into the flowerbed...
At this mont, everyone saw Ding Fan standing there motionless and couldn't help but feel both shocked and very curious. What exactly was the opponent doing? However, naturally, they couldn't know that Ding Fan was using his Divine Sense to observe the flowerbed's situation. If they did, surely they would be astonished to the extre once again.
No one would believe that Ding Fan, being so close to the flowerbed, could still use his Divine Sense to observe. It's known that the closer to the flowerbed one is in the Lake of Purity, the greater the repulsing force becos. Imagining that, one would know he was resisting an incredibly strong force.
This was simply impossible!
But Ding Fan was indeed doing so, and perhaps only Long Ren nearby believed it. At the mont, Long Ren was also worried for Ding Fan. From his big brother's expression, Long Ren could tell that he was exploring the array eye in the flowerbed. Long Ren just hoped his big brother would succeed.
After all, the array eye in the flowerbed, even for so of their 36 Caves' cultivators, was not easy to learn useful things from. It was a difficult task. If his big brother could indeed learn sothing from that mystical array eye, it would undoubtedly be for the best.
Asking his big brother then, he would surely not keep it from him, and this would also be highly beneficial to the 36 Caves.
At this mont, Ding Fan wasn't feeling well. The power in the Lake of Purity was pressing on him, making every second a tornt.
But fortunately, Huangtian does not let down the person with resolve. Ding Fan's Divine Sense finally discovered sothing within the depths of the flowerbed that pleasantly surprised him, solving his doubts.
"So this flowerbed is where the Lake of Purity's array eye is located. The arrangent of this formation is very clever and innovative!"
Upon seeing the formation within the flowerbed, Ding Fan was taken aback with shock. Instantly, he realized that the Lake of Purity's formation wasn't a simple existence. Clearly, there were many scholarly elents within, and it contained many things that Ding Fan hadn't even seen before. The thod of arranging the formation was sothing Ding Fan saw for the first ti.
Ding Fan was filled with joy. He could conclude that this Lake of Purity formation was passed down from Ancient Tis, and the formation arranged within the Lake of Purity was very innovative. Surprisingly, it was set up in such a way that it repelled Divine Sense from cultivators. This was quite remarkable!
Then imdiately, Ding Fan sat cross-legged and began to carefully comprehend it.
At this mont, everyone saw Ding Fan's actions and couldn't help but be shocked. Unexpectedly, not only did Ding Fan hurriedly escape from the Lake of Purity, but he also sat down cross-legged. What was he doing? Everyone was filled with question marks.
But everyone was still extrely shocked in their hearts. Regardless of what the other party was doing, being able to maintain a seated ditation under such imnse pressure in the Lake of Purity was already astonishing. This was not sothing an ordinary cultivator could achieve. Especially those disciples who had already participated in this segnt of the competition naturally knew how formidable the repelling power within the Lake of Purity was.
Not to ntion Ding Fan was so close to the flowerbed. Just thinking about the mysterious power was terrifying, yet the other party could sit there, seemingly having entered a state of cultivation or doing sothing else. It was already quite impressive just being able to sit still there.
Moreover, everyone could feel that Ding Fan had actually reached the physical limit. After all, he was less than ten stone steps away from the flowerbed, and even a cultivator in the Distracted Phase might not withstand the pressure of the Lake of Purity at that distance.
What's more, Ding Fan...
"No way, can he cultivate in that environnt?"
"How is that possible? What on earth is he doing? This is simply incredible!"
"Is this Ding Fan even still a young cultivator? I'm afraid even those in the Distracted Phase wouldn't be a match for him!"
"..."
For a mont, everyone exchanged bewildered looks of amazent.
At this mont, Lu Ferng saw the scene with Ding Fan and was extrely astonished. He could hardly imagine that Ding Fan was sitting cross-legged there. Could it be that Ding Fan hadn't reached his limit yet? It must be known that Ding Fan was less than ten stone steps away from the flowerbed.
Although Lu Ferng hadn't reached that kind of distance, he knew very well that the closer to the flowerbed in the Lake of Purity, the stronger the power would beco. The power at Ding Fan's current position was imnse, and despite being less than ten stone steps away from the flowerbed, each of these steps would require resisting a cumulative force equivalent to the force of all the steps before. If Ding Fan could pass these steps, he would have done so long ago. He must be exhausted, unable to proceed any further.
What shocked Lu Ferng and made him even more puzzled was why Ding Fan, having reached his limit, still sat there cross-legged. Could it be that he gained so insight in the Lake of Purity? Even though his body had reached its limit, he could still remain there for so long, which was quite impressive and not sothing an ordinary cultivator could compare to.
Therefore, how could Lu Ferng not be shocked in his heart! anwhile, Lu Ferng beca even more certain that Ding Fan wouldn't sit there for no reason; he must have gained so revelation. Although Lu Ferng did not understand much about the Lake of Purity, he could tell that the existence of 36 caves for ti certainly wasn't short. He believed that the Lake of Purity wasn't just ant for the selection competitions of the disciples of the 36 caves.
There might indeed be so strong opportunities inside, causing Lu Ferng to sigh deeply in his heart. Given his strength, obtaining opportunities in the Lake of Purity was impossible. It seed that Ding Fan must have gained quite a bit of fortune. Lu Ferng sighed deeply in his heart.
He thought with so sadness, in the past, others envied his outstanding skills and good luck, yet now he could only envy Ding Fan. Perhaps this is the so-called 'the harder you work, the luckier you are.'
At this mont, Leng Jian looked at Ding Fan sitting in the Lake of Purity with sinister eyes, filled with a deep murderous intent. Even though he tried hard to hide it, the murderous aura emitted from his body made the hairs of the cultivators around him stand on end, feeling intensely cold, forcing them to keep a certain distance from him.
At this mont, an elder, who was the examiner, saw this scene with Ding Fan and couldn't help but feel perplexed. In his eyes, Ding Fan was the most formidable cultivator he'd ever seen, bar none. As the examiner of this segnt of the competition and also the guardian of the Lake of Purity, he had seen many cultivators, both young and old, but none as impressive as this young cultivator.
The elder looked at Ding Fan's state and felt sowhat gratified. He had guessed with an 80-90% certainty that Ding Fan might have comprehended the mysteries of the flowerbed's formation eye. This flowerbed and formation had existed for several hundred years, but neither the disciples of the 36 caves nor their elders, sect leaders, or even lake masters had been able to comprehend the formation of the Lake of Purity's flowerbed.
It's not because their cultivation was too low to observe it; they simply didn't understand formations. Even if they could see the formation eye in the flowerbed's formation, they couldn't grasp its mysteries. Therefore, Ding Fan could be called the first in hundreds of years. Even the elder himself, due to insufficient cultivation, had not comprehended the mysteries of the Lake of Purity's formation eye.
Therefore, the elder sincerely hoped the young man could comprehend the mysteries of the flowerbed's formation eye, as it was of utmost importance to the Cultivation World. The elder was well aware that the things passed down through the generations of the lake masters of the 36 caves were not simple.
However, what puzzled the elder was that although Ding Fan was a rare talent not seen even once in several hundred years, he wasn't considered one of the 36 caves. He was rely the elder brother of the lake master, and it felt sowhat inappropriate for the treasures within the cave to be comprehended by him...
