"So, are you saying that you ca to evaluate ? To see if I qualify to enter the Immortal Realm?" Ding Fan asked after he and Ruan Yuan had left the camp and found themselves alone.
Ruan Yuan smiled. "I like your disposition; I indeed hope you can co to the Immortal Realm sooner."
At that mont, Ruan Yuan recalled when he first t Ding Fan, who had tortured him to extract answers.
In the Mortal Realm, probably only Ding Fan dared to torture an immortal.
Although Ruan Yuan did not directly answer Ding Fan's question, Ding Fan, being very clever, imdiately perceived his implication.
It seed that he was indeed a candidate for evaluation by the Immortal Realm.
At that mont, Ding Fan gazed at the sky and once again rembered his three-year agreent with Gusu Qingwen.
He seed to see Gusu Qingwen as she was in the Dire Straits Palace.
At that ti, Gusu Qingwen had said solemnly, "My man must be a great hero above all others..."
Ding Fan also rembered the words he had left Gusu Qingwen with. "See you in three years…"
"Ding Fan, the assessnts of the Immortal Realm are very difficult. I hope you can persevere when the ti cos… Although I really hope you can enter the Immortal Realm, saying more would be breaking the rules," Ruan Yuan said from beside him.
"What is the Immortal Realm? Can you tell ?" Ding Fan asked at that mont.
Ruan Yuan pondered for a mont, then spoke, "I can tell you that… Do you know about the period of the Three Kingdoms?"
Ding Fan nodded.
After his rebirth, Ding Fan had learned so history of Huaxia Country, particularly about the Three Kingdoms, which had left a deep impression on him.
"During the Three Kingdoms, the world was chaotic, and wars were constant. At that ti, the entire Huaxia Country had a population of less than 300,000," Ruan Yuan explained.
Ding Fan nodded. Later studies by scientists had indeed shown that the wars of the Three Kingdoms were devastating, posing a risk of extinction due to internal strife.
"At that ti, so martial cultivators searched for Shangri-La to preserve their lives. Fortunately, these martial cultivators were very lucky and found such a place. Not many people escaped to there, only about a hundred.
Those who escaped to Shangri-La were among the elite of martial cultivators, and their cultivation was incredibly advanced… These people nad the place they found 'Immortal Realm' ...
In the Immortal Realm, Spirit Grass and Spirit Pills are abundant, and cultivation progresses much faster than in the Mortal Realm. Every so often, immortals are sent to the Mortal Realm to find individuals with high aptitude to train in the Immortal Realm and enhance its power..."
Ding Fan nodded after listening.
The Immortal Realm appeared to be a holy land established by those strong cultivators.
Ding Fan thought about it and then said, "Since the Immoral Realm is so powerful, are there existences higher than the Heavenly Level?"
Upon hearing Ding Fan's words, Ruan Yuan could not help but smile proudly. "In the Mortal Realm, the Heavenly Level might already be quite remarkable, but in the Immortal Realm, the Heavenly Level is just a beginning... Above the Heavenly Level, there is the Profound Level, above the Profound Level lies the Gold Level, and above Profound and Gold Levels is the Martial Emperor Level..."
Ding Fan nodded.
Previously, Ding Fan had contemplated this issue—that both martial cultivation and cultivation pursue the path of enlightennt. Cultivation allows one to cultivate oneself and defy fate. Although the current path of martial cultivation in the Mortal Realm does not lead to immortality, it seems in the Immortal Realm, martial cultivation and cultivation ought to be the sa...
"This is all I can tell you; the rest you need to discover by yourself," Ruan Yuan said with a smile to Ding Fan, then suddenly disappeared in front of him.
"May we et again if fate allows..."
At that mont, Ruan Yuan's voice echoed in the jungle.
"May we et again…" Ruan Yuan had left, and Ding Fan murmured, yet it was unclear to whom he was saying this farewell...
Ruan Yuan had left, and Ding Fan no longer continued to linger in the Haijiao Jungle.
This trip to Haijiao had been quite rewarding for Ding Fan, as he had acquired the world's most extraordinary wonderous fire.
Ding Fan had now obtained the Nine Profound Iron and was worried about not having a rare fire to assist with the Artifact Refining. But as luck would have it, he now had such a treasure.
Additionally, after his journey in the jungle, his cultivation had incredibly advanced by two levels, filling Ding Fan with joy.
Ding Fan found a secluded spot and then promptly flew away on his sword. The speed of Sword Control was very fast; normally, it would take a whole day to leave the jungle, but Ding Fan took less than an hour to exit it.
After leaving the jungle, Ding Fan headed directly for Zhangzhou.
Initially, when Ding Fan rescued Old Master Qin from here, Sun Qi had taken him ahead to Zhangzhou. Ding Fan and Sun Qi had agreed that once he erged from the jungle, he would directly rush here.
The rescue of Old Master Qin was a task entrusted by Qin Manshu's grandfather. For Ding Fan, whether for the sake of Qin Manshu or Old Master Qin, he had to handle this matter well.
Upon arriving in Zhangzhou, Ding Fan quickly found Sun Qi through a prearranged code they had set earlier.
After coming out of the jungle, Sun Qi had taken Mr. Qin to a villa in Zhangzhou to temporarily settle down because of concerns that soone might target Old Master Qin. So, Sun Qi had chosen a secluded location.
Impressed with the arrangents, Ding Fan quickly found Sun Qi's residence. Surrounding the villa were several simple defensive arrays. Although these arrays were not of a high grade, from this detail, it was apparent that Sun Qi had been very ticulous.
In addition to that, Sun Qi had specifically set up so video surveillance to protect Old Master Qin from Qin Jingguo.
Sun Qi's ticulousness indeed satisfied Ding Fan greatly.
After arriving at the villa, Ding Fan visited Old Master Qin of Qin Jingguo. At that ti, the old man's health was still robust, and his complexion had turned ruddy.
Ding Fan soon learned that this was due to Sun Qi's recent care.
Sun Qi was also an Alchemy Master. Although he couldn't refine pills of high grade like Ding Fan, he was certainly capable of taking good care of an ordinary person.
After a series of pill adjustnts, Old Master Qin's health had greatly improved.
Old Master Qin was very polite to Ding Fan, knowing that without Ding Fan, he would likely have died in the jungles of Haijiao long ago.
Imdiately, Ding Fan sought Old Master Qin's opinion on whether he would like to et Old Master Qin from Dancheng.
The two old brothers, since the war back then, had left ho simultaneously, only to later dedicate themselves to two different beliefs.
After they had taken up arms against each other, the two old n hadn't seen each other up until today.
After pondering for a mont, Old Master Qin decided he wanted to see his elder brother.
Old Master Qin had fled to Taiwan after defeat in battle. Although his brother had tried to contact him multiple tis, Qin Jingguo had refused to communicate with his brother.
Now, with not much ti left, this chance, had it not been for Ding Fan's intervention, might never have co; hence, Qin Jingguo decided to et his brother this ti.
Seeing that Qin Jingguo agreed, Ding Fan was relieved.
If Qin Jingguo had refused to et Old Master Qin, Ding Fan would still have been figuring out what to do; now that he had agreed, everything was much easier to handle.
Imdiately, Ding Fan called Old Master Qin in Dancheng.
Upon hearing that his brother wanted to et him, even though it was over the phone, Ding Fan could still feel Old Master Qin's excitent.
Old Master Qin decided it wouldn't take long before he personally ca to Zhangzhou. Over the phone, he also ntioned that he would bring Qin Manshu with him.
It was clear to Ding Fan that Old Master Qin was creating more opportunities for him and Qin Manshu.
However, Ding Fan thought this was good as well, as he hadn't seen her recently and could offer her so guidance in her cultivation during this ti.
After the call, Ding Fan entrusted the matters at the villa to Sun Qi.
anwhile, Ding Fan found a room and secluded himself. His Selfless Flying Sword, which was damaged when he inadvertently entered the Immortal Realm had been broken by Gusu Qingwen.
Luckily, Ding Fan had unexpectedly obtained Nine Profound Iron on Mali Island and had decided to properly refine the Nine Profound Iron, turning this treasure into his powerful magic artifact.
However, Ding Fan had always been troubled by not having higher grade Wonderous Fire. Now that he had obtained the Heavenly Fla, he couldn't wait to start refining the Nine Profound Iron.
Ding Fan spent an entire day harvesting and assimilating the fire seed of the Heavenly Fla for his own use. As for the Nine Luminaries Fire, Ding Fan left it to Dourou.
Dourou was already quite adept at controlling the Nine Luminaries Fire, so it was best given to him.
Ding Fan then directly set up the Ancient Cauldron.
Next, Ding Fan directly threw the Heavenly Fla into the Ancient Cauldron. Since it was his first ti using the Heavenly Fla, he was very careful.
Ding Fan slowly fueled the Heavenly Fla with True Qi. For a mont, flas surged within the entirety of the Ancient Cauldron. As the flas ignited, Ding Fan could even feel his spirit becoming notably relaxed...
The Heavenly Fla could actually soothe one's spirit. Ding Fan was surprised but understood why it was ranked as the number one Heaven and Earth Strange Fire—indeed, a treasure is a treasure.
From this point alone, it was no wonder that so many yearned for this treasure within the Haijiao Jungle...
Right then, Ding Fan directly threw the Nine Profound Iron into the Ancient Cauldron, followed by a surge of True Qi. Inspired by this, the Heavenly Fla violently stirred.
The fla colors changed from red at the beginning to blue and finally to white... The flas beca increasingly fierce.
At that mont, both his spiritual pets, Dourou and another one, quietly sat on Ding Fan's shoulders, watching intently as he refined the artifact.
Indeed, witnessing soone like Ding Fan refine an artifact wasn't an opportunity that ca by often.
At that ti, Ding Fan carefully used the thod of telekinesis to slowly lift the Nine Profound Iron.
The Heavenly Fla was incredibly sharp, yet, even so, it did not change the color of the Nine Profound Iron imdiately.
The current temperature of the Heavenly Fla was almost a thousand degrees, yet the Nine Profound Iron remained unaffected, which truly showed what a treasure it was.
Ding Fan maneuvered the Heavenly Fla, gradually altering the shape of the Nine Profound Iron. In addition, he also set up several formations within the Nine Profound Iron.
Ding Fan beca so absorbed in his task that he didn't leave his room for an entire day and night. This day and night of effort was not in vain, as the Nine Profound Iron had completed its initial transformation...
Although it was only the first step, it brought great satisfaction to Ding Fan.
