Chapter 1163: Chapter 1064: Encountering the Protagonist

At this moment, Li Fan suddenly had a feeling…

That so-called Linyihao… could he be the protagonist of this world??

The cliches of a trash turning into something formidable… perfectly fit the mold of a fantasy protagonist.

At the same time, the look he gave Fan Paiming couldn’t help but include a touch of sympathy!

No wonder this guy seemed so unhappy when he heard the name Linyihao before…

Offending the protagonist… no one could be happy about that.

“Linyihao is too strong, he can even slay Forbidden Beasts at the San Na Level, my brother will be instantly killed!”

Fan Yaoyao’s face was extremely tense.

Li Fan couldn’t help saying:

“How did your second brother provoke this prota… oh no, this Linyihao?…”

Fan Yaoyao said:

“He didn’t provoke him… My second brother was just cultivating normally, always one of the greatest geniuses in Bianleicheng, but after Linyihao rose up, he directly named by brother for a showdown, forcing my brother to respond to the challenge…”

Hearing this, Li Fan couldn’t help but feel helpless.

There was nothing wrong with Fan Paiming, the mistake was… being born near the protagonist, and he himself was also a minor genius.

The protagonist is always known for crushing geniuses along his growth, and the geniuses around the protagonist… are definitely stepping stones!

This is fate, I guess.

…

At this moment, Fan Paiming was also silent for a long, long time before suddenly clenching his fists and saying:

“I must go to the Hanque Mountain Range, I will become a disciple of Qingjian Sect!”

Only by doing so… would there be a glimmer of hope in the life-or-death showdown one month later.

“Let’s go,”

The group didn’t stay for too long.

Before long, they finally made it through the “Kongshou Mountain Forest”.

“Unscathed, not even a Forbidden Beast appeared…”

“The Beast-Repelling Powder really works!”

A group of youths was all relieved, this trip… was unexpectedly smooth!

“Qingjian Mountain is right ahead.”

“Let’s go, the selection might have already started!”

“We need to be quick!”

Here, one could already see a towering mountain peak in the distance.

The group sped up their pace.

“Fan Li, are you going to Qingjian Sect with us?”

Fan Yaoyao looked at Li Fan.

Li Fan thought for a moment, now unaware of the outside world, it was a good idea to go to Qingjian Sect first, and maybe he could find traces of disciples along the way.

He immediately said:

“Okay.”

Then, Li Fan traveled together with them.

Soon after.

The group had already arrived at the foot of Qingjian Sect’s mountain.

At this moment, in front of Qingjian Sect, it was already crowded with people.

Geniuses from all places were there.

“Heh, I didn’t expect you guys to be able to come through the Kongshou Mountain Forest…”

Just when they arrived, suddenly, a youth dressed in black with a rusty long sword on his back appeared.

His aura was extremely strong, staring at Fan Paiming, a sneer at the corner of his mouth as he said:

“You, wanting to enter Qingjian Sect?”

He was the genius who emerged from Bianleicheng–Linyihao!

Fan Paiming said with a stern voice:

“What does this have to do with you?”

Linyihao said coldly:

“I just want to advise you not to struggle in vain. Go back early and make preparations for the aftermath; this place is not meant for you.”

Fan Paiming said, “The outcome is not yet decided, who should prepare for the aftermath remains to be seen.”

Upon hearing this, Linyihao suddenly let out a cold laugh, and then, a surge of Sword Qi burst forth from him.

Instantly, Fan Paiming and the others all changed their expressions.

This Sword Qi, was like sharp awns, making their skin feel a stabbing pain.

“He’s releasing the power of a Path-Scenic Land… He’s only in the Najin Realm, and he managed to do this?”

“He should only be around the Third Na, but releasing the power of Path-Scenic Land would require Chengfeng Realm, right?”

The youths who came with Fan Paiming all changed their expressions and hurriedly retreated to the side.

“We have nothing to do with him, don’t target us!”

Zeng Shisha even spoke up directly, moving aside.

“Such a powerful Sword Qi!”

“A genius, an absolute genius!”

The Sword Qi from Linyihao caused a stir among the crowd.

Even Fan Paiming’s face turned pale at this moment, his breathing became difficult and disorderly!

—-Touching the Prohibition is the end of the Chaos Path.

Gate Opening, Ascendant Path, Four Sights, The Shade of the Deceased, Insightful Truth, Touching the Prohibition.

At the moment of Touching the Prohibition, one will discover the path is connected to a Land of Nothingness.

And that Land of Nothingness is the starting point of the Path of the Forbidden.

The first Realm is Najin.

Drawing the aura of the Forbidden into the Land of Nothingness, from nothing to something. Typically, it requires absorbing the “Five Qis,” hence divided into five levels.

The second Realm is Ride the Wind. Upon reaching this Realm, one can ride the winds and control their breath in the void of Daoist Scenery, preventing getting devoured by nothingness.

The Ride the Wind Realm is divided into four stages: Xiaocheng, Middle Vehicle, Mahayana, and Fuyao. Xiaocheng is stable, Middle Vehicle travels freely, Mahayana can fly and observe the boundaries of the Land of Nothingness, and only with Fuyao can one soar into the heavens to seek the hidden Nine Heavens’ Breath Soil, which fills the void.

This is the third Realm: Breath Soil Realm.

After Breath Soil are the Realms of Pi Shui, Sheng Mu, Divine Fire, Cui Jin, Di Dong, Jing Tian, and so on.

…

At this moment, the aura Linyihao released from the Path-Scenic Land pressured Fan Paiming to a ghastly pale complexion, sweat dripping from his nose!

He was only at the Second Na!

Facing Linyihao’s sword qi, almost unable to withstand it.

“Big brother!”

Fan Yaoyao stood tightly beside Fan Paiming, holding onto the sleeve of his robe. Her realm was even weaker, and at this moment, she was almost about to collapse.

No one dared to approach the center of the field!

However, Li Fan was very puzzled… Sword qi?

Why couldn’t he feel it?

“System, what about the sword qi they are talking about? Why can’t I feel it?”

Li Fan couldn’t help but question the System!

The System paused for a moment and said:

“This sword qi… um, cultivators at the level of Touching the Prohibition and Najin can feel it… You’re somewhat, you know.”

Upon hearing this, Li Fan instantly felt depressed… Did this mean that he couldn’t feel the sword qi because he was too weak?!

That’s too much, isn’t it?!

A feeling of envy began to rise in Li Fan’s heart.

Look at Linyihao, protagonist treatment, a good-for-nothing’s counterattack script, slapping faces and showing off all the way, how cool is that.

And himself… so weak that he couldn’t even sense the other’s sword qi…

“Big brother…”

At this moment, Fan Yaoyao’s entire body swayed as if she was about to fall over.

Li Fan immediately stepped forward and said:

“Are you all right?”

He stepped forward and gently reached out his hand to support the swaying Fan Yaoyao.

Instantly.

Boom!

Fan Yaoyao suddenly felt the sword qi, which was like a knife scraping against her face, disappear without a trace. It was as though an invisible force had appeared on her body, capable of isolating everything!

She suddenly breathed easily, as if everything was normal.

“Ah…”

Fan Yaoyao was shocked. What… what was going on?

At this moment, Linyihao also frowned. Why was it as though nothing had happened to Fan Yaoyao?

“Let me teach you a lesson!”

He swept his sword qi towards Fan Yaoyao once again.

But Fan Yaoyao stood there still, not affected by it at all.

“This…”

Linyihao was puzzled. How could his strong sword qi…

“Stop!”

At this moment, a female voice suddenly rang out in his mind!

Upon hearing this, Linyihao quickly asked:

“What is it, Thirteen Sword Immortal?”

–There was a sword immortal named “Thirteen” residing within him!

This was his secret!

Originally, he was a genius of the Lin Family from Bianleicheng, but then he accidentally obtained a black rusted sword.

That sword drained his cultivation level, leading to his dramatic fall from grace, and he was scorned by everyone.

Later, once his cultivation level finally awakened the sword, he learned of its tremendous backstory and that there was a female sword spirit in it, teaching him various sword techniques.

It could be said that the Female Sword Immortal… was the very foundation of his rise.

At this moment, inside his Path-Scenic Land, a shadow was whispering.

“The Fan bloodline of the forebears is truly extraordinary…”

“After so many years of waiting, we finally have a result…”

This shadow with a clear and beautiful voice was emitting… the stench of rot, wrapped entirely in a corpse wrapping cloth, with putrid flesh as if about to burst out!

“The Fire Star has appeared, and the bloodline of the forebears is crucial… Following the forebears’ bloodline will inevitably lead us to those extinguished fires…”

Her origins were extraordinary!

She belonged to an unspeakable superpower from the Forbidden World.

And that superpower… had been laying out their grand plans since countless ages ago, focusing their attention on what was once the “bloodline of the forebears.”

The so-called forebears refer to those who once carried the fire through the darkness and created the Forbidden World.

She had been lying dormant in Bianleicheng, having found the bloodline of the forebears–the Fan Family!

But she could not directly touch the forebears’ bloodline, as she would likely be exposed, so she chose another genius from Bianleicheng–Linyihao.

Through Linyihao, she aimed to track and test Fan Paiming and Fan Yaoyao.

Because these two were the most outstanding geniuses of the Fan Family.

After waiting for many years, when the twelve Fire Stars descended into the world, she finally began to act.

To find the faint stars in this world… and then extinguish them!

…

When twelve faint stars appeared in this world, little did they know that a colossal presence had already been watching their arrival.

…

After contemplating for a long time, the shadow indifferently spoke:

“That girl, I can’t see through her, don’t act recklessly.”

Now is not the time to act against the bloodline of the forebears.

Upon hearing this, Linyihao was quite reluctant, but he could only slowly retract his sword qi, glaring at Fan Paiming, and coldly said:

“I will spare your life for now.”

“Your sister is not bad… I’ll take good care of her in the future.”

After saying that, he turned around and left.

At this moment, Fan Paiming had almost reached his limit, but when he heard these words, his eyes turned red. Was the other party going to harm his sister?!

He clenched his fists tightly, feeling immense humiliation at this moment.

Was he unable to protect his own sister?

With sorrow and anger in his eyes, he turned to look at his sister and said:

“Yaoyao, I’m sorry… Are you okay…”

But as soon as he finished speaking, he became puzzled, because his sister… didn’t even break a sweat?

“Yaoyao, you… how are you completely unharmed?”

He was astonished!

…
